City has high hopes for tax revenues

SHERIDAN — Sheridan City Council approved the final appropriation adjustments for fiscal years 2017 and 2018, with slight adjustments for both years. FY2017 saw total adjustments of $8.5 million between the general, spe-cial revenue, enterprise and debt service funds. The FY2018 total budget for all city funds is at $40,295,491.

“This is going to be a bal-anced budget,” city admin-istrator Mark Collins said.

“It is by law required that we as a local municipality provide a balanced budget to you.”

Collins said the current FY18 budget, which begins July 1, has a general fund reserve of 21 percent and is expected to increase to 26 percent at the end of FY18.

City staff is optimistic about the upcoming fiscal year, expecting a 5.3 percent increase in sales and use tax collections.

“I think what we’ve seen around the community in the last few weeks it’s very optimistic and very posi-

tive, and we hope to see this trend continue into the next fiscal year,” Collins said, while also noting the need to make adjustments mid-year if numbers don’t come out as expected.

Sales and use tax collec-tions, administrative fee scheduling, police depart-ment remodel loan repay-ment and the analysis and water/wastewater rate study all will contribute to an increase of 10.3 percent in general fund revenues in FY18.

Petition against M-44s goes to Wildlife

Services, WDA

SHERIDAN — A coalition of con-servation and wildlife organizations has formally started the petition process to end the use of M-44 cya-nide devices in Wyoming.

The petition has been submitted to the Wildlife Services program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service as well as the Wyoming Department of Agriculture and called for a cease of use and removal of the devices. M-44 cyanide devices are used on federal and private land as a means of predator control.

Animal Welfare Institute wild-life attorney Tara Zuardo said the petition, filed June 13, is based on a similar Idaho petition that was sub-mitted in March after the accidental killing of a pet dog and injury of a child.

Accident near Baggs

claims 5 livesBAGGS (AP) — A SUV crossed

the center line of a highway in south-central Wyoming and collided with a pickup truck, killing four members of a Colorado family and another person.

The Wyoming Highway Patrol said Monday the accident occurred about 2:50 p.m. Friday on Wyoming 789, 22 miles north of Baggs. The patrol says a northbound 2010 Nissan Armada driven by 44-year-old Heather White, of Peyton, Colorado, collided head-on with a 2008 Chevrolet pickup pulling a trailer. Both vehicles caught fire.

White and her three children, aged 12, 15 and 16, died at the scene.

The pickup driver, 27-year-old Eric Hagen, of Casper, was pulled from the burning vehicle by others and was being treated at a Denver hospital. His passenger, 28-year-old Katie O’Keefe, of Casper, died.

The accident is under investiga-tion.

SHERIDAN — While legislators call for more efficiencies within school dis-tricts, small districts say they already operate in the leanest way possible.

Sheridan County School District 3 will receive approximately $37,900 in funding per student in the 2018 fiscal year — more than any other school in the state. Meanwhile, Sheridan County School District 2 receives around $14,000, which is less than any other school district in the state. The state average funding per student is nearly $15,900.

Sheridan County School District 1 typ-ically sits at the state average, according to its business manager Jeremy Smith. For the 2018 fiscal year, SCSD1 will receive approximately $15,875 per stu-dent.

SCSD2 Superintendent Craig Dougherty said last week that his dis-trict’s low cost per student is a result of focusing funds on teachers and saving costs on administration.

However, statewide trends show school districts that receive the most funds per student have substantially

fewer students enrolled than the rest of the state.

Other districts with high spending costs per students include Fremont School District 2 (Dubois), Park County School District 16 (Meeteetse) and Washakie County School District 2 (Ten Sleep). All of those school districts have enrollment with less than 150 students.

“(Cost per student) is essentially driv-en by one thing: the minimum number of teachers needed to teach classes,” Rep. Mike Madden, R-Buffalo, said.

All districts must provide a minimum number of teachers for its schools. Districts instruction must include math, social studies, language arts, among other courses to align with state require-ments.

All teachers at SCSD3 teach multiple grade levels to help alleviate costs.

“What it really comes down to is the economy of scale,” SCSD3 Superintendent Charles Auzqui said. “To provide the basket of goods, you have to provide a certain number of teachers ... so your cost per student goes up.”

Wyoming SLIB approves mineral royalty

grant for city project

SHERIDAN — The Wyoming State Loan and Investment Board approved a $300,000.00 Mineral Royalty Grant for the city of Sheridan North End Utilities Project at its June 15 meeting in Cheyenne.

The city of Sheridan requested funding from the MRG program to help fund a portion of the overall project.

The North End Utilities Project consists of install-ing approximately 7,000 linear feet of sanitary sewer main, a lift station and approximately 7,000 linear feet of water main and appurtenances.

The lift station and sewer mains are locat-ed north of the inter-change and go to the new Sheridan County School District 2 elementary school site. The water

line being installed will loop the water main into Yellowtail Drive, provide water to the new SCSD2 elementary school site and provide an option for existing residents to tie to city water instead of wells.

“The North End Utilities Project MRG funding is an opportunity for the city of Sheridan to install water and sewer infrastructure to benefit the community,” Mayor Roger Miller said in a press release.

“This project will help support existing and future planned develop-ment. We truly appreci-ate our state Legislature continuing to fund these programs and our local state elected officials for being supportive of our local infrastructure needs.”

The SLIB grant will not need to be paid back.

FROM STAFF REPORTS

Fort Mackenzie changes nameSHERIDAN — Fort

Mackenzie High School will soon operate under a new name. At its Monday meet-ing, the Sheridan County School District 2 board voted to change the name of Fort Mackenzie High School to the John C. Schiffer Collaborative School.

The name change official-ly launches the collabora-tive school that has been years in the making and will move the alternative school to the Sheridan

College campus.The Wright Place will relo-

cate to the Sheridan Junior High School.

District officials will continue to work with the state and legislators to seek design and construction funds to construct the col-laborative school on the col-lege campus.

This is dependent on the availability of state con-struction funding.

All teachers at both The Wright Place and the former Fort Mackenzie High School will be retained as employ-ees during the transition.

Starting next year, the col-laborative school will utilize Sheridan College facilities.

“We are going to be able to provide those stu-dents a variety of differ-ent electives,” Assistant Superintendent Scott Stults said. “Right now, they essentially get one. Now, they will have myriad opportunities.”

The old Highland Park Elementary School, where both schools were located, will be decommissioned.

Starting in 2015, Sheridan County school districts and Sheridan College gathered

to develop the concept of a collaborative high school. The design team under-took the goal to develop a high school that crosses district and county lines to more efficiently and rap-idly change outcomes for Wyoming’s at-risk students.

The district will identify up to 25 Sheridan County School District 2 students to participate in a dual enroll-ment pilot during the 2017-2018 school year. Students from all three Sheridan County districts will be able to utilize the collaborative school.

12 cities to receive Justice Department aid for crimeBETHESDA, Md. (AP) — The Justice Department

will help 12 U.S. cities develop long-term strategies to decrease violent crime, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Tuesday.

The department will help local authorities study crime patterns and create specially tailored plans to reduce gang and gun violence, he said.

Federal authorities will help cities find “data-driven, evidence-based strategies” that can be measured overtime. “This program will help communities suffering from serious violent crime problems to build up their capacity to fight crime,” Sessions said.

US coroner investigating death of student CINCINNATI (AP) — A

coroner’s office in Ohio is investigating the death of a 22-year-old college stu-dent who died less than a week after his return to the U.S. after nearly a year and a half in North Korean detention, a spokesman said Tuesday. The spokesman for Hamilton County Coroner Dr. Lakshmi Sammaraco said the office “accepted the case” of Otto Warmbier, who died Monday in a Cincinnati hospital. Justin Weber told The Associated Press a press conference is expected later to provide more information.

Wambier’s parents did not cite a specific cause of death, but cited “awful, torturous mistreatment” by North Korea. Doctors had described Warmbier’s condi-tion as a state of “unrespon-

sive wakefulness” and said he suffered a “severe neuro-logical injury” of unknown cause

He arrived in Ohio on June 13 after being held for more than 17 months.

The University of Virginia student was accused of try-ing to steal a propaganda banner while visiting with a tour group and was con-victed of subversion. He was put before North Korean officials and journalists for a televised “confession.”

“I have made the worst mistake of my life!” he exclaimed, choking up as he begged to be allowed to reunite with his parents and two younger siblings.

He was sentenced in March 2016 to 15 years in prison with hard labor. His family said it was told he had been in a coma since soon after his sentencing.

Doctors said he suffered extensive loss of brain tis-sue and “profound weak-ness and contraction” of his muscles, arms and legs. His eyes opened and blinked but without any sign that he understood verbal com-mands or his surroundings.

Unresponsive wakefulness is a new medical term for persistent vegetative state. Patients in this condition who have survived a coma can open their eyes, but they do not respond to com-mands. People can live in a state of unresponsive wake-fulness for many years with the chances of recovery depending on the extent of the brain injury.

North Korea said Warmbier went into a coma after contracting botulism and taking a sleeping pill. Doctors in Cincinnati said they found no active sign of botulism or evidence of beatings. In a White House statement, President Donald Trump said, “A lot of bad things happened, but at least we got him home to be with his parents.” He called North Korea a “brutal regime.”

Warmbier grew up in the Cincinnati suburb of

Wyoming. He was saluta-torian of his 2013 class at a highly rated high school and was on the soccer team.

Wyoming City Schools released a statement saying it was “deeply saddened” by his death.

“The countless contribu-tions he made to his school and community through his leadership, actions, and limitless enthusiasm will be felt far into the future,” the school district said.

Warmbier’s sophomore English teacher said he would be “dearly missed.”

Warmbier had planned to study in China in his third year of college and heard about Chinese travel companies offering trips to North Korea. He was leav-ing North Korea on Jan. 2, 2016, when he was detained at the airport. The organiz-ers of Warmbier’s trip say they will no longer take U.S. citizens to the country. Young Pioneer Tours said Tuesday on Facebook that his death shows that the risk American tourists face in visiting North Korea “has become too high.”

The U.S. Department of State warns against trav-el to North Korea. While nearly all Americans who have been there have left without incident, visitors can be seized and face lengthy incarceration for what might seem like minor infractions.

Jeffrey Fowle, also from Ohio, was detained in 2014 when he intentionally left a Bible in a nightclub. Fowle was freed after six months. He said he was kept isolat-ed most of the time but not physically abused. He and others freed from North Korea have said they were coached and coerced into giving confessions.

Three Americans remain held in North Korea. The U.S. government accus-es North Korea of using such detainees as political pawns. North Korea accus-es Washington and South Korea of sending spies to overthrow its government.

TAX : Purchasing and procurement policies to see 9 percent savingsFROM 1

The FY18 budget also includes $250,000 allocated to help keep the Critical Air Service Team afloat and in service.

In light of the fiscal cli-mate, no new positions are anticipated and city employees will not see merit increases in the upcoming fiscal year.

The only increase in employee salaries comes from the addition of Sheridan Travel and Tourism personnel as full-time employees with bene-fits. Reductions in the bud-get occurred in travel and training and office supply.

“The line item budgets for travel and training will decrease 22 percent in FY18 with more of an emphasis on going local with our training and some more online training,” Collins said. “We anticipate with the city’s new purchasing and procurement policy that we’re going to see, at a min-imum, a 9 percent decrease in savings and efficiencies in terms of office supply budgets.”

Councilman Thayer Shafer said he hopes the optimism regarding the sales and use tax revenues hold throughout the year.

“We need to be prepared in case it doesn’t material-

ize to revise this and we all know that,” Shafer said.

Councilman Alex Lee cast a no vote with explanations.

“One, the sales tax fore-cast and the general fund revenues increase are pret-ty aggressive,” Lee said. “Over the last four years, three years, we’ve budgeted for down budgets revenues and I don’t have anything of concrete to substantiate that we’re going to see a twofold increase the opposite direc-tion.”

Lee said he hopes the staff projections are accurate.

“The second reason why I’m going to be a no vote on this budget is because for the first time in seven

years that I’ve been on city council, we have a situation in which we have a budget before us in which not every one of the good employees that works at the city, that works their tails off, puts in overtime, literally some-times in the trench has an opportunity to get a merit

raise,” Lee said. “And there were some folks that were given that raise, that oppor-tunity.”

Mayor Roger Miller responded to Lee saying if the uptick remains, he and Collins will revisit raises and examine if they are fea-sible.

CYANIDE : Device explodes on anything FROM 1

The device also killed two domestic dogs near Casper in March. Zuardo said one of the main problems with the devices is that they’re indis-criminate, so while their target is mainly coyotes and other livestock threats, they explode on whatever animal comes upon it.

She said this has included a number of endangered and threatened species. The peti-tion, which was signed by 12 national and state wildlife groups, says wildlife such as hawks, eagles, wolverines and lynx have been killed and that since 2000, Wildlife Services has killed more than 50,000 animals of more than 150 non-targeted spe-cies with the devices.

Zuardo said the other problem is that the devices don’t require much regu-lation. She said Wildlife Services are the only ones authorized to place the

M-44s on federal land, but they can also be put on pri-vate land by private land-owners.

Zuardo said any private landowner who uses the device has to be licensed by the state, which is why the petition went to both the Wyoming Department of Agriculture and Wildlife Services.

“But once that license is granted, that’s kind of the end of the line, you don’t really have a lot of informa-tion after that as to where they are,” Zuardo said.

Western Watersheds Project executive director Erik Molvar said under federal law, signage is sup-posed to be placed at the site of the devices as well as on a fence where a person would enter the property. But, that isn’t always the case and sometimes the devices attract curious people.

Additionally, Zuardo said death by the devices is

painful and can take time. She said dogs start hemor-rhaging from the ears, nose and mouth before getting paralysis and falling over and convulsing.

“Of all the various meth-ods to indiscriminately kill predators, this is one of the nastier ones,” Zuardo said.

Both Wildlife Services and the Wyoming Department of Agriculture are required to provide a formal written response to the petition.

Zuardo said in Idaho, Wildlife Services tempo-rarily removed the devices and agreed to not install more. Both Zuardo and Molvar said they’re hoping for a similar outcome in Wyoming.

“It’s been shown time and time again that the use of these devices results in tragedy,” Molvar said. “And given all the alternatives, there’s no excuse for con-tinuing to engage in this dangerous behavior.”

COST : Consolidation would save the state $7 million, mostly wage costFROM 1

Other outside costs increase cost per student for small districts. Due to their rural locations, SCSD1 spent an estimated $997.85 per student and SCSD3 spent a three-year rolling average of $3,200 per student on trans-portation. As a comparison, SCSD2 spent $559.16 per stu-dent on transportation.

Additionally, expenses like providing internet access and electricity sig-nificantly increase in rural school districts. Often, districts like SCSD3 do not have funding available to provide maintenance ser-vices and have to hire out-side contractors, which also increases costs.

Funding formulas typical-ly work in favor of larger school districts. SCSD2

and districts in Powell and Evanston have the lowest cost per student. Kobza attributes that to the way the school district is struc-tured; each of those districts has multiple elementary schools and one larger high school.

“When you have two rel-atively small high schools, your costs are going to go up,” Kobza said, referring to how SCSD1 is structured.

According to the Wyoming Department of Education’s funding model guidebook, the state funding model pro-vides special allocations for schools that receive a dis-tinction as a “small school,” or schools that have a total average daily membership less than or equal to 49.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Wyoming ranked seventh in the

nation in spending per pupil in 2014, which was the most recent data available.

This is considerably high-er than all bordering states including Utah and Idaho, which spent the least per pupil that year ($6,555 per student and $6,791, respec-tively).

But, as Kobza pointed out, the state education depart-ment is not the only govern-ment agency that spends more than other states.

Statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that Wyoming is in the top 10 in spending per capita on police and fire depart-ments, and in the top three in spending per capita for health and hospitals, state and local governments, cor-rections and roads.

This can be attributed to the state’s largely rural

population; transportation and health care costs in Wyoming are significantly higher than most states, Kobza said.

While some legislators and Wyoming residents call for district consolidation, Auzqui said combining school districts may not be the answer to decrease costs.

According to a white paper released by the Wyoming Legislative Services Office in December 2016, if school districts con-solidated to one district per county, it would only save $7 million annually. This would primarily come from savings in administration costs.

However, Auzqui said other problems would arise from school district consol-idation, including impacts

to small communities like Clearmont.

“The only real way that you could save money is if you shut down the schools themselves,” Auzqui said.

Madden said each district needs to be examined. While a district like SCSD3, which is located more than 40 miles away from the near-est school district, may not be a candidate for district consolidation, Madden iden-tified several districts in Big Horn and Fremont counties that may need to be exam-ined further.

Funding for grade schools is facing an approximately a $530 million shortfall in the coming two-year budget cycle. Legislators will meet several times prior to the 2018 budget session to come up with strategies to reduce shortfalls.

More flooding in parts of WyomingRIVERTON (AP) — Some roads have

reopened in central Wyoming as the Wind River begins to slowly recede.

Wyoming 132, 133 and 134 all reopened Monday afternoon.

However, a section of U.S. 26 west of Riverton remained closed Monday after-noon between the U.S. 287 junction and Kinnear because of water flowing over

the roadway. Heavy rain over the week-end sent some rivers already swollen with snowmelt runoff out of their banks in Fremont County.

The Wind River at Riverton created near 12 feet Monday and is expected to slowly recede but remain above flood stage through the week. Flood stage is 9 feet.

Trump portrait to go back up in Jackson town hall

JACKSON (AP) — A portrait of President Donald Trump will be hanging once again in the Jackson Town Hall in northwest Wyoming.

The Jackson Hole News & Guide reported that the Jackson Town Council voted 3-2 Monday for a resolution direct-ing that portraits of the U.S. president and the Wyoming governor be hung in the Town Hall. The action came after a furor was raised when Jackson Mayor

Pete Muldoon removed portraits of Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. When Muldoon first decided to remove the portraits, he criticized Trump’s pol-icies and said it would send the wrong message to honor Trump.

He later clarified that the president was too divisive. After apologizing for how he handled the situation, Muldoon cast one of the two votes against the res-olution Monday.

INSIDE WASHINGTON: Writing a bill in private not unusual

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s extraordinary for legislation as sweeping as the Senate Republican health care bill to be written behind closed doors, suddenly hatched and then whisked through Congress with little time for lawmakers and the public to understand it. But on Capitol Hill, secrecy hap-pens.

It’s not uncommon for either party to draft bills or resolve stubborn final hurdles in private meetings, forgoing the step-by-step, civics-book version of how Congress works.

That’s even true for the process that pro-duced President Barack Obama’s health care law, the Affordable Care Act, which the GOP is now trying to dismantle. While Democrats reached out to Republicans, held scores

of committee hearings and staged many days of debate on that legislation in 2009 and 2010, they also resorted to private meetings to reach agreements that clinched its approval.

Lacking the votes to block this year’s GOP effort, Democrats are looking to score political points by tar-geting the closely held pro-cess Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is using to write legislation replacing much of Obama’s statute. GOP senators have been meeting privately to address disputes over cutting Medicaid, limiting insurance requirements and revamping tax credits.

McConnell wants a Senate vote before the chamber leaves town for a July 4 recess, giving Democrats scant opportunity to rally resistance against a

major bill whose contents are unknown. Asked on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Tuesday if he’s seen the health care bill, Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said, “Have you?” He added that GOP senators will be briefed on the emerging bill Wednesday.

Marketing sure

has changed

Welcome visi-tors, we’re glad you’re here.

••••••

Marketing has changed a great deal since I was growing up in the 1950s-60s. I always astound my children (and grand-children) about how we just had one television and only one channel.

CBS. You turned the TV on, and you turned it off.

Another illustration of my ongoing fogeyism are the television commercials then. Mostly appliances, cars, tires, ciga-rettes. I was even in a commercial, I tell the kids. A new Volkswagen dealership had come to town and the local baseball star, Norm Cash, fresh off of his career year in 1961 was the spokesman. Another young boy and I were in uniform, with Cash showing us how to grip a bat. (Cash hit .361 that year with 41 home runs and 132 runs batted in.)

Commercials in those days had catchy phrases: “You wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent!” Winston cigarettes added “Winston tastes good like a (clap-clap with hands) cigarette should!” Firestone tires had a catchy jingle about how the “rubber meets the road.”

These days, however, commercials seem to be a grim tour through the med-icine cabinet, particularly during the evening network news. Poo, once abso-lutely off limits, is nowadays no big deal, with animated bears — red and blue — talking rapturously about Charmin bath tissue. I’m guessing the origin of this campaign began somewhere on Madison Avenue when the smart guys answered a simple question, “Does a bear (go) in the woods?” There’s even a commercial for VIPoo, a pre-use spray, that “traps the smell of the devil’s donuts.” Now that’s marketing. Whatever happened to Dinah Shore singing, “See the USA in your Chevrolet”?

Digressing, alas.These days, the pitch is increasingly

subtle. Like “small batch.” That means they made only two million. “Relaxed fit” conjures comfort, but means I can get my butt into this pair. “Reduced fat” is a lure for the Boomer crowd, promis-ing you can eat more of them. A favorite of late, “you may lose a little weight,” while pitching a diabetes drug.

Yet, another comes in the mail more often these days. “It’s time for Medicare!”

Swell.

There’s a video on The Weather Channel about the top five places to view the forthcoming solar eclipse, Aug. 21.

I don’t think the Weather Channel folks get out too much. (They’re head-quartered in Atlanta.)

The host talks about the big event, and recommends, “the remote town of Casper, Wyoming.”

Well, folks at the Weather Channel, that’s our biggest city. Would posit that the Casper Chamber of Commerce and its tourism bureau might take umbrage at the “remote town” label.

The eclipse will last two-plus minutes and its totality swath is estimated at about 70 miles wide with Casper a prime, darker spot. The largest city in its path will be Nashville, Tennessee.

PUBLISHER’S NOTEBOOK|Stephen Woody

GOP’s hard, messy options for destroying Trumpism

Nearly 150 days into the Trump era, no non-delu-sional conservative can be happy with the direction

of events or pleased with the options going forward.

President Trump is remark-ably unpopular, particularly with the young (among whom his approval is underwater by a remarkable 48 percentage points in one poll). And the reasons have little to do with elitism or media bias.

Trump has been ruled by compulsions, obsessions and vindic-tiveness, expressed nearly daily on Twitter. He has demonstrated an egotism that borders on solipsism. His political

skills as president have been close to nonexistent. His White House is divided, incompetent and chaotic, and key adminis-tration jobs remain unfilled. His legislative agenda has gone nowhere. He has told constant, childish, refuted, uncorrected lies, and demanded and habit-uated deception among his underlings. He has humiliated and undercut his staff while requiring and rewarding flat-tery. He has promoted self-serv-ing conspiracy theories. He has displayed pathetic, even fright-ening, ignorance on policy matters foreign and domestic.

He has inflicted his ethically challenged associates on the nation. He is dead to the poetry of language and to the nobili-ty of the political enterprise, viewing politics as conquest rather than as service.

Trump has made consistent appeals to prejudice based on religion and ethnicity, and associated the Republican Party with bias. He has stoked tribal hostilities. He has care-lessly fractured our national unity. He has attempted to undermine respect for any institution that opposes or limits him — be it the respon-sible press, the courts or the intelligence community. He has invited criminal investiga-tion through his secrecy and carelessness. He has publicly attempted to intimidate law enforcement. He has systemat-ically alarmed our allies and given comfort to authoritari-ans. He promised to emanci-pate the world from American moral leadership — and has kept that pledge.

For many Republicans and conservatives, there is appar-ently no last straw, with offens-es mounting bale by bale. The argument goes: Trump is still superior to Democratic rule — which would deliver apocalyp-tic harm — and thus anything that hurts Trump is bad for the republic. He is the general, so shut up and salute. What, after all, is the conservative endgame other than Trump’s success?

This is the recommendation of sycophancy based on hys-

teria. At some point, hope for a new and improved Trump deteriorates into unreason. The idea that an alliance with Trump will end anywhere but disaster is a delusion. Both individuals and parties have long-term interests that are served by integrity, honor and sanity. Both individuals and the Republican Party are being corrupted and stained by their embrace of Trump. The end-game of accommodation is to be morally and politically dis-credited. Those committed to this approach warn of national decline — and are practically assisting it. They warn of dec-adence — and provide refresh-ments at the orgy.

So what is the proper objec-tive for Republicans and con-servatives? It is the defeat of Trumpism, preferably without the destruction of the GOP itself. And how does that hap-pen?

Creating a conservative third party — as some have proposed — would have the effect of delivering national victories to a uniformly liberal and unre-formed Democratic Party. A bad idea.

A primary challenge to Trump in the 2020 presidential election is more attractive, but very much an outside shot. An unlikely idea.

It is possible — if Democrats take the House in 2018 — that impeachment will ripen into a serious movement, which thoughtful Republicans might join (as they eventually did against Richard Nixon). But

this depends on matters of fact and law that are currently hid-den from view. A theoretical idea.

A Democratic victory in the 2020 election would repre-sent the defeat of Trumpism and might be a prelude to Republican reform. But Democrats seem to be view-ing Trump’s troubles as an opportunity to plunge leftward with a more frankly socialistic and culturally liberal mes-sage. That is hardly attractive to Republican reformers. A heretical idea.

Or Republicans and conser-vatives could just try to outlast Trump — closing the shutters and waiting for the hurricane to pass — while rooting for the success of a strong bench of rising 40-something leaders (Marco Rubio, Mike Lee, Nikki Haley, Tom Cotton, Ben Sasse). This may be the most practical approach but risks eight years of ideological entrenchment by Trumpism, along with mas-sive damage to the Republican brand. A complacent idea.

Whatever option is chosen, it will not be easy or pretty. And any comfort for Republicans will be cold because they brought this fate on themselves and the country.

Oklahoma’s ‘Pioneer Woman’ builds media empire on the Plains

PAWHUSKA, Okla. (AP) — Growing up in an Oklahoma town she considered too tiny, Ree Drummond sought the bright lights of a city and headed west for Los Angeles. She never dreamed the journey would send her back to the plains of northeast Oklahoma, to a place with even fewer lights where she’s become known and built a brand as “The Pioneer Woman.”

Visitors from all 50 states, Canada, South America and England have come to The Pioneer Woman Mercantile,

a store-bakery-restaurant she and her husband opened after starting a popular blog, then writing New York Times best-selling cook-books and children’s books, hosting a Food Network cooking show and, her most recent venture, The Pioneer Woman Magazine. The magazine is the first of two planned editions released this month and available at The Mercantile and at Walmart, where she also has a signature line of cook-ing, kitchen and dinner-ware. Her digital and print catalogues are all full of her

quips about motherhood and quick-and-easy meals mixed with musings on her late basset hound and com-paring her current life in cowgirl boots to one where she used to wear pumps.

Recent blog entries covered everything from taking her children to see “Hamilton” to finishing the TV show “Breaking Bad” and a forthcoming cook-book. Sony Pictures holds an option for a movie on her book “Black Heels to Tractor Wheels,” in which she recounts how she met her husband.

Carla Fendi, philanthropist and fashion force, dies at 79

MILAN (AP) — Carla Fendi, one of the five sisters who transformed the family leather goods business into a global luxury fashion house long known for its furs, has died following a long illness. She was 79.

The Rome-based fashion house confirmed Fendi’s death Monday, expressing pain for the loss and gratitude for her continued contributions. The sisters opened the first Fendi store in Rome’s his-toric center in 1964, and a year later hired a young designer named Karl Lagerfeld who helped catapult the Italian brand into global fame, with a focus on designing luxury furs.

Today’s Highlight in History:

On June 20, 1967, boxer Muhammad Ali was convict-ed in Houston of violating Selective Service laws by refusing to be drafted and was sentenced to five years in prison. (Ali’s conviction was ultimately overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court).

On this date:In 1782, Congress approved

the Great Seal of the United States, featuring the emblem of the bald eagle.

In 1791, King Louis XVI of France and his family attempted to flee in the so-called “Flight to Varennes,” but were caught.

In 1837, Queen Victoria acceded to the British throne following the death of her uncle, King William IV.

In 1893, a jury in New Bedford, Massachusetts, found Lizzie Borden not guilty of the ax murders of her father and stepmother.

In 1921, U.S. Rep. Alice Mary Robertson, R-Okla., became the first woman to preside over a session of the House of Representatives.

In 1947, President Harry S. Truman vetoed the Taft-Hartley Act, which was designed to restrict the power of labor unions, but had his veto overridden by Congress. Gangster Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel was shot dead at the Beverly Hills, California, home of his girlfriend, Virginia Hill, apparently at the order of mob associates.

In 1966, the Beatles album “Yesterday and Today” was released by Capitol Records, initially with its notorious “butcher” cover photo which ended up being replaced.

In 1977, the first oil began flowing through the recent-ly completed Trans-Alaska Pipeline from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez.

In 1988, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously upheld a New York City law making it illegal for private clubs with more than 400 members to exclude women and minori-ties.

In 1990, South African black nationalist Nelson Mandela and his wife, Winnie, arrived in New York City for a ticker-tape parade in their honor as they began an eight-city U.S. tour.

In 2001, Houston resident Andrea Yates drowned her five children in the family bathtub, then called police. (Yates was later found guilty of murder, but had her con-viction overturned; she was acquitted by reason of insani-ty in a retrial.)

Ten years ago: For the sec-ond time, President George W. Bush vetoed an embryon-ic stem cell bill as he urged scientists toward what he termed “ethically responsible” research.

Five years ago: A Republican-controlled House committee voted along party lines, 23-17, to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for failing to turn over Justice Department documents relat-ed to Operation Fast and Furious. (The full House voted in favor of the contempt cita-tion eight days later.)

One year ago: Donald Trump abruptly fired campaign manager Corey Lewandowski in a dramatic shake-up designed to calm panicked Republican leaders and end an internal power struggle plaguing the billion-aire businessman’s White House bid. A divided U.S. Supreme Court bolstered police powers, ruling 5-3 that evidence of a crime in some cases may be used against a defendant even if the police did something wrong or ille-gal in obtaining it.

Thought for Today: “Know how to ask. There is nothing more difficult for some peo-ple, nor for others, easier.” — Baltasar Gracian, Spanish philosopher (1601-1658).

US coroner investigating death of

student freed from N Korea

CINCINNATI (AP) — A coroner’s office in Ohio is investigating the death of a 22-year-old college student who died less than a week after his return to the U.S. after nearly a year and a half in North Korean detention, a spokesman said Tuesday.

The spokesman for Hamilton County Coroner Dr. Lakshmi Sammaraco said the office “accept-ed the case” of Otto Warmbier, who died Monday in a Cincinnati hospital. Justin Weber told The Associated Press a press conference is expected later to provide more information.

Wambier’s parents did not cite a specific cause of death, but cited “awful, torturous mistreatment” by North Korea. Doctors had described Warmbier’s condition as a state of “unresponsive wakefulness” and said he suffered a “severe neurological injury” of unknown cause

He arrived in Ohio on June 13 after being held for more than 17 months.

The University of Virginia student was accused of trying to steal a propaganda banner while visit-ing with a tour group and was convicted of subver-sion. He was put before North Korean officials and journalists for a televised “confession.”

“I have made the worst mistake of my life!” he exclaimed, choking up as he begged to be allowed to reunite with his parents and two younger sib-lings.

He was sentenced in March 2016 to 15 years in prison with hard labor. His family said it was told

he had been in a coma since soon after his sentenc-ing.

Doctors said he suffered extensive loss of brain tissue and “profound weakness and contraction” of his muscles, arms and legs. His eyes opened and blinked but without any sign that he understood verbal commands or his surroundings.

Unresponsive wakefulness is a new medical term for persistent vegetative state. Patients in this con-dition who have survived a coma can open their eyes, but they do not respond to commands. People can live in a state of unresponsive wakefulness for many years with the chances of recovery depend-ing on the extent of the brain injury.

North Korea said Warmbier went into a coma after contracting botulism and taking a sleeping pill. Doctors in Cincinnati said they found no active sign of botulism or evidence of beatings.

In a White House statement, President Donald Trump said, “A lot of bad things happened, but at least we got him home to be with his parents.” He called North Korea a “brutal regime.”

Warmbier grew up in the Cincinnati suburb of Wyoming. He was salutatorian of his 2013 class at a highly rated high school and was on the soccer team.

Wyoming City Schools released a statement say-ing it was “deeply saddened” by his death.

“The countless contributions he made to his school and community through his leadership, actions, and limitless enthusiasm will be felt far into the future,” the school district said.

Warmbier’s sophomore English teacher said he would be “dearly missed.”

Native Americans walk out of musical depicting stereotypesLARAMIE (AP) — The

University of Wyoming is warning audiences about offensive material in a trav-eling musical after Native American high school stu-dents walked out of a perfor-mance of “The Fantasticks.”

The walkout happened Thursday during inter-mission, The Laramie Boomerang reported.

It wasn’t clear how many students attending the Native American Summer Institute at the campus in Laramie walked out of the show.

The 1960 musical, which is about two neighboring

fathers who trick their chil-dren into falling in love by pretending to feud, contains a scene in which charac-ters dress up as and vil-lainize Native Americans. Attendees said they were also shocked at the casual use of the word “rape” in the musical’s dialogue.

The walkout prompted criticism from UW’s United Multicultural Council and a boycott by another summer camp. The Upward Bound group canceled plans to attend Saturday’s perfor-mance the Department of Theater and Dance.

“The show especially

demeans Native American cultures with outdated stereotypes of Native American appropriation by non-native actors wearing headdresses/warbonnets,” according to a statement by the United Multicultural Council.

“It also portrays Native American and Latino/Hispanic characters as the villains or antagonists of the show.”

The university prepared a program insert for future performances explaining the scene.

“With historical produc-tions, we see a ‘point in

time,’ which is different from the one in which we live,” the insert reads. “We see portrayals of characters that are painful to watch as 21st century audiences. The challenge then, in producing historical works, is to help audiences understand the context and/or story for the play without taking undue or illegal liberties with the script.”

The long-running musical, a staple of regional, com-munity and high school the-ater, plays in four different Wyoming communities this week before closing next weekend in Laramie.

A woman walks against the wind and rain prior to the start of the 32-mile race during the 25th annual Bighorn Mountain Wild and Scenic Trail Run Saturday at the Dry Fork aid station. Cold rain and wind brought a soggy start to Saturday’s events.

Sheridan providers named

2017 Wyoming Association

of Physician Assistants ‘PA/

Physician Team of the Year’SHERIDAN — Juli Ackerman, MD;

Hannah Hall, MD; Autumn Barrett, PA-C; and Erin Strahan, PA-C — one of the provider teams at Sheridan Memorial Hospital’s Big Horn Mountain Medicine was recently named the 2017 WAPA PA/Physician Team of the Year at the Wyoming Association of Physician Assistants and Wyoming Medical Society conferences in Moran in early June.

“I can’t think of a better team for this award,” said Cathy Bealer, director of pro-fessional services at Sheridan Memorial Hospital. “Dr. Hall and her team have been instrumental in leading and maintaining the Patient Centered Medical Home certifi-cation as well transforming their team into one that can deliver high quality care to many patients in our region.

“In addition, as medical director, Dr. Hall has been leading process improvement at BHMM in an effort to provide patients with an exceptional care experience,” Bealer added. “We are proud of this team and all of our providers at BHMM who provide great care to our community.”

FROM STAFF REPORTS

Not bashful about being in businessSHERIDAN — Members of the

Business Network International Cloud Peak Chapter believe strongly in the adage, “What goes around, comes around.”

By referring clients to each other, they hope it comes around again and again, boosting business for mem-bers and keeping local dollars circu-lating in Sheridan County.

“Everyone understands that in order for Sheridan to thrive, money has to be spent and money has to be brought in,” Office Shop salesman Devin Peterson said.

The group is not bashful about the fact that it exists to increase clients and profit for members, BNI Cloud Peak Chapter President Bob Utter said. After all, business is business.

“There’s no stronger marketing than a referral from a friend,” Utter said. “Having Jessica tell me about Gary was far more effective than having Gary tell me about Gary.”

Utter was referring to how he got involved with BNI.

When a friend of his at a Rotary meeting was looking for a reliable contractor, he wasn’t sure who to recommend. Weaver Insurance Agency owner and BNI member Jessica Weaver overheard the con-versation and said she knew just the person. Her referral of Gary Magelky with Magelky Custom Carpentry impressed Utter so much that he decided to get involved with the networking organization him-self.

Magelky — who is acting vice pres-ident and credits BNI with improv-

ing his public speaking and overall business skills — eventually gave Utter a referral that was his highest ever commercial real estate sale.

While dollars are appreciated, the organization seeks to build business sustainably through trust and good reputations.

The philosophy of the organization is based on “Givers Gain,” or the idea that giving business to others will bring business back to you. Members must abide by a code of ethics that includes sticking to price quotes, providing high quality ser-vices, being positive and truthful, and following through with received referrals. Each BNI chapter can have only one representative from each business classification. This eliminates competition within the chapter. If more than one person from a given classification, such as residential real estate, wants to join, another chapter must be formed. Several cities in Wyoming have more than one chapter, Utter said.

Each meeting includes time for members to give a 60-second presen-tation about their business as well as one 10-minute presentation by one member. Members are assigned to complete weekly one-to-ones with each other to deepen relationships so that referrals are made based on knowledge and trust.

“It’s self-policing,” Utter said. “You can’t afford to pass a bad refer-ral.”

Referrals and the income generat-ed by those referrals are tracked as best as possible. Year-to-date, chap-ter members have made 447 referrals to each other that have generated a total of $264,166 in collective income

for the businesses represented. That translates to more than $2,500 per member per month.

The average annual income increase per member in the BNI Heartland Region is $28,391.

Membership costs $445 per year with a one-time application fee of $150.

There are three kinds of referrals used by members of BNI. Inside referrals occur when members use each other’s businesses. Outside referrals occur when members refer people they know to another mem-ber’s business. Third party referrals happen when outside referrals refer people they know, which is word of mouth at work.

“The positive thing about an out-side referral is that now his friend knows me who then knows another 200 people,” said Travis Williamson, owner and mechanic at DuAll Service and Repair. “Stuff just grows and grows and grows.”

In addition to growing business profits, the networking organization offers support to members who often stick around after the weekly meet-ing to share ideas and advice with each other.

“It’s like having a family away from home,” owner of Rocky Mountain Sign, Design and Print Tammy Klasinski said.

Klasinski moved to Sheridan and opened her business in January. She said BNI has been invaluable to helping her get to know people and get her name out.

Business Network International is looking for more members. Email Bob Utter at bob@zackcummins.com for more information.

No tax on bentonite means less revenue for South Dakota

BELLE FOURCHE, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota has no tax on mining bentonite despite neighboring states generating millions of dol-lars from special taxes on the gray and tan clay.

Miners have been extract-ing bentonite from beneath South Dakota’s soil for decades, the Rapid City Journal reported.

Now, South Dakota reg-ulators are considering a company’s application for additional bentonite mining northwest of Belle Fourche, a city in the western part of the state.

The application from American Colloid would allow the company to re-open a previously mined, square-mile area that is pro-jected to yield about 35,000 tons of bentonite annually for 15 years. Bentonite is used in numerous products, from cat litter to drilling fluid. It becomes a sticky paste when wet.

Sen. Gary Cammack, R-Union Center, said he

guesses bentonite doesn’t get a severance tax because South Dakota residents may think of it as a useful mud more than a lucrative com-modity.

The state currently taxes the mining of gold, silver, coal, lignite, petroleum, oil, natural gas, uranium and thorium. Those taxes pro-duced a total of about $6.3 million in revenue last year. Revenue reports show that special taxes on bentonite generated $5.5 million in Wyoming and $1.3 million in Montana last year.

A report from the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources stated there was nearly 201,000 tons of ben-tonite mined in the state in 2015.

If that tonnage were multiplied by the 2015 average price of $74 per ton as reported by the U.S. Geological Survey, the value of bentonite mined in the state that year would’ve been nearly $15 million.

Ryan promises to overhaul tax code this year despite hurdles

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Paul Ryan is promising to overhaul the tax code by the end of the year despite political divi-sions among Republicans and a crowded legislative agenda for Congress.

Ryan is due to give a speech on tax reform Tuesday afternoon to the National Association of Manufacturers. In excerpts released by his office, Ryan says Republicans, who control Congress and the White House, have a rare opportunity to re-write the tax code for businesses and individuals.

“We are going to get this done in 2017. We need to get this done in 2017. We cannot let this once-in-a-genera-tion moment slip,” Ryan says in prepared remarks. “Transformational tax reform can be done, and we are moving forward. Full

speed ahead.”According to Ryan’s office,

the Wisconsin Republican will “warn against accept-ing half measures or believ-ing there is a path to reform without obstacles and politi-cal challenges.”

That’s an apparent jab at a growing number of Republicans who simply want to cut taxes rather than simplify the tax system and make it more efficient.

Ryan’s office says he will make the case for perma-nent tax reform — rather than a temporary tax cut.

The obstacles in Congress are many.

Ryan supports a new tax on imports to help finance a lower overall tax rate for corporations, and to encourage U.S. companies to stay in the United States. The tax, however, has no support in the Senate and is vigorously opposed by retailers who worry that it will increase the cost of con-sumer goods.

GM Griffin, Cavs part ways after three straight Finals, 1 titleCLEVELAND (AP) — One year

ago, David Griffin celebrated the biggest win in Cavaliers history.

He marked the anniversary Monday by walking away from the team.

Griffin’s three-year run as gen-eral manager with Cleveland is over after one championship and three straight trips to the NBA Finals.

After guiding the team through its most successful stretch, Griffin mutually parted ways with the Cavs as owner Dan Gilbert said the GM’s contract will not be extended once it expires June 30.

“On behalf of the entire orga-nization, I would like to thank Griff for his leadership and many contributions during his time here, including most recently, his role in the franchise’s first NBA Championship,” Gilbert said in a statement. “We have no

announcement at this time related to new leadership of the Cavaliers basketball operations group, but we are confident our current front office will continue to aggressively explore and pursue opportunities to improve our team in the weeks ahead.”

Griffin’s departure comes on the one-year anniversary of the Cavs’ dramatic Game 7 win over Golden State, capping a historic comeback that gave Cleveland its first major professional sports championship

since 1964.He’s also leaving three days

before the draft and on the eve of free agency. Cleveland could have a busy summer as it looks to revamp its roster after losing to the Warriors in five games in this year’s Finals.

With Griffin out, the Cavs enter a critical juncture without a sea-soned executive making the calls.

OSU’s streak at 23; Harrison slam fuels win over LSU

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The dominance Oregon State has shown all season was on full display Monday night.

Bryce Fehmel limited LSU to two hits in eight innings, KJ Harrison hit the first College World Series grand slam at TD Ameritrade Park, and Oregon State beat the Tigers 13-1 for

its 23rd straight win.The Beavers (56-4), who matched the

school-record win streak they set earlier this season, took control of Bracket 1. They don’t play again until Friday, and need one more win to advance to next week’s best-of-three finals.

“We just talked before the game about this is our time, this is our opportunity,” Oregon State coach Pat Casey said. “This is what we

came here for. Let’s not miss that moment. So the guys played great.”

The matchup between the teams with the two longest active win streaks in the country was one of the most anticipated at the CWS in years. It turned out to be a dud. The 12-run margin tied the largest in a CWS game in the seven years it’s been played at TD Ameritrade.

MIKE PRUDEN | THE SHERIDAN PRESS

Larry Martoglio chips a shot onto the green during the Give Kids the World golf tournament Saturday at the Powder Horn. Give Kids The World Village is an 84-acre, nonprof-it resort in Central Florida that provides weeklong, cost-free vacations to children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. The Village and its community partners provide children and their families accommodations in fully-furnished villas, transportation, tickets to theme parks, meals and daily entertainment. Martoglio said Saturday’s round of golf was all for the kids, and “nobody was allowed to complain because the kids have it much worse and they never complain.”

Injured bull rider showing improvement

CASPER (AP) — An Australian bull rider who was severely injured after being stepped on by a bull during the College National Finals Rodeo in Wyoming has been showing signs of improvement.

On Monday, Bradie Gray gave a thumbs up sign to his parents.

However, Gray remains in critical condition in the intensive care unit at Wyoming Medical Center in Casper.

A member of the Odessa College rodeo team, Gray was injured after being stepped on by a bull during Thursday’s competition. He suffered broken ribs, a torn aorta and collapsed lungs.

Odessa coach C.J. Aragon tells the Casper Star-Tribune that the Hallsville, Australia, native is making small improvements.

A post on the team’s Facebook page says Gray gave his parents a thumbs up sign and is trying to com-municate by writing.

PGA Tour to start blood

testing

The PGA Tour is beefing up its anti-doping policy by adding blood testing and bringing its list of banned substances in line with the World Anti-Doping Association.

The revised policy takes effect in October.

Blood testing will allow the tour to detect any use of human growth hor-mone, which is on the list of banned substances but cannot be detected through urine. However, the tour still plans to use urine sam-ples for the majority of its drug testing next season.

“Urine is the far more effi-cient testing method of 98 percent-plus of what we’re looking for,” said Andy Levinson, the tour’s senior vice president of tourna-ment administration, who oversees the anti-doping policy.

BLOOD: Tour following Olympics committee to create similar policies, substance listsFROM B1

“Really, one of the few things only detect-able in blood is HGH.”

Levinson said blood testing also detects substances that are common in more high-endurance sports, such as cycling, but that the tour doesn’t see them as applicable to a sport like golf.

“For that reason, urine will be the pre-dominant method of testing,” he said.

Under the revised policy, the tour is add-ing to its banned list three categories of substances that WADA already prohibits — asthma medications, allergy and anti-in-flammatory medications, and pseudoephed-rine over a certain threshold.

He said the process for therapeutic use exemptions (TUE) involving some of those additional substances would be adjusted to make the response time quicker.

And in a slight move toward more trans-parency, the tour would start reporting suspensions for drugs of abuse. Under the current policy, the tour is required to announce when a player has been suspend-ed only for performance-enhancing drugs. Recreational drugs fell under the tour’s pri-vate “conduct unbecoming a professional” disciplinary policy.

However, if players test positive for drugs of abuse, that won’t be reported unless the player is actually suspended.

“We believe that these changes to our program are prudent in that they further our objectives of protecting the well-being of our members and better substantiate the integrity of golf as a clean sport,” PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said in a statement Tuesday.

The tour’s anti-doping policy began in June 2008.

In nine years, only three players have been suspended for performance-enhanc-ing drugs — Doug Barron, Bhavik Patel and Scott Stallings. Stallings never failed a drug test; rather, he became aware that the anabolic agent DHEA that a doctor advised him to take was on the banned list and turned himself in. He has said he was tested while taking DHEA and never failed a test.

Levinson said the tour was encouraged to add blood testing after the Olympics last summer in Rio de Janeiro, where golf was added to the program for the first time in more than a century. He said tour officials saw how the blood testing was adminis-tered and whether the actual testing affect-ed performance. “We saw no impact,” he said.

He also cited advancements in blood test-ing that expanded the window for detecting

HGH. Players next season will be subject to random tests involving blood and urine, though Levinson added, “We will continue to rely more on urine because of efficien-cy.”

The tour said it would spend the next three months explaining to the players the changes to the system.

Levinson said the additional substanc-es added to the tour’s banned list were not included in 2008 because the tour felt WADA’s code was “one size fits all” and those substances would be considered more performance-enhancing in endurance sports more than golf.

But he said players were facing different lists around the world, particularly in the Olympics.

“So we felt for consistency’s sake, it was time to move our list to the current WADA list,” he said.

DEAR ABBY Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips

An episode of “Law and Order” called “Mother’s Milk” was a cautionary tale about what happens when a breastfeeding consultant goes completely over the top and insists that a young mother only breastfeed her newborn. When the child won’t take

to the breast, the result is tragic.

Sometimes a new mom cannot breastfeed success-fully. We want to remind her that she can raise a healthy, happy child on formula; just work with your pediatrician to determine baby’s best options.

That said, research shows that breastfeeding is a pow-erful way for an infant to get nutrients essential for developing strong bones and healthy organs. And new data reported in JAMA Pediatrics reveals that breastfeeding is also a great way to make sure your infant develops a healthy gut biome.

In the 12-month study of 104 moms and infants, researchers determined that during their first month of

life, infants received about 28 percent of their gut bacteria from breast milk and around 10 percent from mom’s skin. That’s their start of a healthy immune system -- and sets the stage for a lifetime of healthy regulation of metabo-lism, glucose and digestion.

Tip: For moms using for-mula, allow your infant to have frequent mouth contact with your skin. Investigate the option of donor breast milk (never unregulated over the internet!), and ask your doc about using use formulas fortified with pre-biotics and probiotics, espe-cially Lactobacillus GG and Bifidobacteria (you might want to alternate days). Plus, use a formula containing at least 32 mg per bottle of DHA omega-3.

DEAR ABBY: I have a longtime friend I see almost every day. She’s an awe-some friend. Her children are adults. One of them is gay; the other is a transgen-der male. I respect her for supporting her children, learning everything there is to know about the LGBT com-munity and seeking social

change on their behalf. The conflict lies in the fact

that my religious beliefs and personal feelings are at odds with the notion of gender fluidity. I think the concept is nuts. I have compassion, however, for people who suf-fer with their identity in any form. I also believe in equal rights.

I do support my friend, who supports her kids, but I feel like a fraud when she and her friends talk about gender neutrality and vent their indignation that someone called someone else by the wrong pronoun. I act equally offended, but the truth is, I don’t believe in these ideas or this cause.

I don’t want to lose an important friend. I want her to feel supported -- but

I’m lying. Please help. My conscience is bothering me. -- FEELING LIKE A PHONY

DEAR “PHONY”: Would you feel the same way about a friend who is divorced, if your religion didn’t sanction it? I’ll bet you wouldn’t. The same is true for this longtime friend.

Gender fluidity may be a new concept for you, but it is very real. If you feel like a hypocrite faking indignation during some of these conver-sations, why not use them as an opportunity to be edu-cated? Listen. Ask questions. Say, “I don’t know enough about this, but because I love you, I need to learn more about it.”

You can be a trans ally without becoming an activist. PFLAG has a user-friendly resource, “Guide to Being a Trans Ally,” that you may find interesting and helpful. Find it at pflag.org/guideto-beingatransally.

DEAR ABBY: An 8-year-old boy in my daughter’s class recently passed away. She’s only in second grade, so I wouldn’t expect her to fully grasp the meaning of death, but she understands it perfectly and is not upset one bit. Multiple times she has acknowledged the fact that her classmate is no lon-ger present, and is actually somewhat cheerful about it. My husband and I are very worried. Is this normal behavior? -- CONCERNED MOTHER

DEAR CONCERNED: Children are often more resilient than they are given credit for. If your daughter wasn’t particularly close to the child who died, his death may not have affected her deeply. Some children do not mourn the way adults do, and you should not expect her to.

Grief counselors may have spoken to the students about it, or they may have been given other opportunities to air their feelings. Because you are concerned, discuss this with her teacher, but I don’t think you have any-thing to be worried about.

DEAR ABBY: What do you make of a host who issues a BYOB invitation to his party and then proceeds to drink the guests’ liquor? -- APPALLED IN FLORIDA

DEAR APPALLED: I’d say he was thirsty.

Hints from Heloise Heloise

Dear Heloise: My daugh-ter has a SAFE WAY to make purchases without car-rying a lot of cash or using charge cards, whose infor-mation can be copied.

If she knows she will be shopping at a particular store or online, she will purchase a gift card for that business. That way, she does not give away her charge card numbers. -- D.M., via fax

SOAP STORYDear Heloise: The market-

place seems to be flooded with products labeled “shower gel” and “body wash.” Are these actually soap, or is this a clever ad-vertising gimmick? Do you use bar soap with them? How do you choose? -- L.T., Omaha, Neb.

L.T., great question, and there is a difference! Both shower gel and body wash are liquid soaps, and bar soap is a solid, but all are used to clean your skin.

Women, especially, tend to prefer liquid soap over bar soap, primarily because liquids lather more, there is a WIDE choice of fragrances available, and liquid body cleansers typically have more moisturizers than bar soap, so they are less drying to the skin.

The liquids also might have a shimmery ingredient added to make your skin

“sparkle.”Here are two differences

between the liquids: Shower gel typically is thicker in consistency than body wash, and it is more densely fragranced, so the scent of shower gel may last longer on your skin.

Manufacturers of shower gels and body washes recom-mend using a sponge or lath-er-builder to maximize suds. Rinse and dry the sponge thoroughly between uses. Have two to rotate.

Bar soap can be a breed-ing ground for bacteria, although this is not a major concern -- the bacteria washes away when you rinse. Ultimately, the deci-sion is yours -- there are lots of choices out there. -- Hel-oise

NOT SO FASTDear Heloise: I realized

I was spending too much money on eating at fast-food restaurants. The other mi-nuses of this type of meal:

* The service can be lax.* The food usually is high-

fat, high-sugar, low in fiber and low nutritionally in general.

* Fast food generates a lot of trash.

Grabbing a hamburger or chicken sandwich occasion-ally is OK, but doing it sev-eral times a week is wasteful in many ways. -- R.S., Fort Wayne, Ind.

HALF AND HALFDear Heloise: I cut my

dryer fabric-softener sheets in half. I find sufficient control of static electricity using a half sheet, and I save money, too!

If I am drying a particu-larly large load, I throw two half-sheets in. The two half-sheets circulate better than one whole sheet. -- Mary in Omaha, Neb.

LIGHT BRIGHTDear Heloise: In case

this subject hasn’t been ad-dressed in your column: It’s difficult to read light type (for example, yellow letters on a white background), and it seems so many magazines are using this technique now.

Many of us older folks need the contrast of dark against light! -- Nancy P. in San Antonio

PICTURE THISDear Heloise: To keep wall

art vertical, I use cotton balls stretched to proper thickness and placed be-tween the art and the wall. -- Cindy L., via email

Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Anto-nio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise(at)Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints re-ceived in my column.

TWICE THE CHANCE OF HAVING A FIT

As I mentioned yesterday, my wife and I are experi-menting with opening two diamonds when we hold a weak major two-suiter. It is nice to have twice the chance of finding a ma-jor-suit fit.

In this deal, after my wife opened two diamonds, and East overcalled three clubs, I was tempted to jump to four spades because of the apparent double fit. However, my partner is no shrinking violet in the auction, so I guessed well to settle for three spades.

West (a computer oppo-nent) led its trump. East took dummy’s king with the ace, cashed the top clubs and then erred by shifting to a diamond instead of the heart jack. I won with my ace, drew trumps and went down one, losing one spade, one heart, one diamond and two clubs.

How could East-West have gotten on?

Note that with good guess-

work in diamonds (not so hard after our opening bid by North), six clubs is mak-able. But looking at only the East-West hands, you would be happy to reach five clubs. At Bridge Base Online, nine tables played in two clubs. After North un-imaginatively passed(!), East opened one club, South made a takeout double, West responded one heart, North advanced with one spade, East rebid two clubs, and all passed.

One table was in three spades by North. I do not know the auction, but the defense was perfect: Heart jack to the ace, heart ruff, the club king (South played the queen) and a diamond shift.

Declarer won with South’s ace and played a trump, but East won, cashed the club ace, played a diamond to partner’s king and received a second heart ruff for down three.

Omarr’s Daily Astrological Forecast Jeraldine Saunders

BIRTHDAY GUY: Actor Chris Pratt was born in Vir-ginia, Minn., on this date in 1979. This birthday guy has starred in such films as “The Magnificent Seven,” “Jurassic World,” and “Guardians of the Galaxy.” He will reprise his “Guard-ians of the Galaxy” role as Peter Quill in the next year’s “Avengers: Infinity Wars.” On the small screen, he played Andy Dwyer on “Parks and Recreation” and Bright Abbott on “Ever-wood.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your warmth and en-thusiasm might backfire and cause a rift. You might be an excellent salesperson but someone might have second thoughts if you are too aggressive or competi-

tive.TAURUS (April 20-May

20): Those in close connec-tion could be in a rush or somewhat rude or pushy. The long daylight hours of the summer solstice gives you more time to restore that loving feeling with a special someone.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’re smarter than average when coordinating social affairs. Although you can charm others with your brilliant oratory it isn’t a good time to make a financial deal or business proposal.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Starting a fight with someone might feel like wrestling a feather pillow. You won’t get far or feel victorious. Redirect your

energy, anger and angst into constructive creative outlets.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You will be noticed for your networking skills. It is possible to form powerful connections through mu-tual financial matters. This might mean a new friend-ship or association with a social group.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Security can be either an issue or an incentive. Cer-tain little economies and corner cutting techniques might begin to pay off. Take pride in financial self-disci-pline and a savings plan.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill. Loved ones might not wish to be pinned down or backed into a cor-

ner. Make new connections out in the business world without spending cash.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Rub your pennies to-gether until they squeak but be generous towards loved ones. Avoid making major expenditures or key finan-cial decisions. Romantic ad-ventures may be satisfying.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Tread water and refuse to sink to someone else’s level. The people you deal with could seem ma-nipulative or controlling. The tides will turn by next week giving you more lever-age.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Duck for cover. It might be a better idea to escape from a difficult situation than to face it.

Deflect arguments and take constructive steps to avoid confrontations or misunder-standings.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Posing as a paragon of patience will pay off. Make no changes, cause no rip-ples, and keep on working toward a goal. The good news you are waiting to hear is just around the cor-ner.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Keep the lines of com-munications open. You may feel threatened by questions that invade your privacy. You won’t want to make disclosures or admissions, but frankness could bring understanding.

IF JUNE 21 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You could reach a milestone in your

career, business or finan-cial security during the upcoming five to six weeks. Your professionalism and astute observations make this a good time to focus on moneymaking and pres-tige. Friends may distract you from what is really important in September. One friend may become closer than expected. Wait until October to decide if this is a relationship you can take to a more romantic level. Be on the lookout for blessings that could perma-nently brighten your life in October. Have faith that whatever knocks on your door will create a beneficial situation and because you far-seeing and wise you will make the best choices.

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.

WHY PUBLIC NOTICES ARE IMPORTANT |Default: Failure to fulfill an obligation, especially the obligation to

make payments when due to a lender.

Encumbrance: A right attached to the property of another that may

lessen its value, such as a lien, mortgage, or easement.

Foreclosure: The legal process of terminating an owner’s interest

in property, usually as the result of a default under a mortgage.

Foreclosure may be accomplished by order of a court or by the

statutory process known as foreclosure by advertisement (also

known as a power of sale foreclosure).

Lien: A legal claim asserted against the property of another, usually

as security for a debt or obligation.

Mortgage: A lien granted by the owner of property to provide

security for a debt or obligation.

Power of Sale: A clause commonly written into a mortgage

authorizing the mortgagee to advertise and sell the property in

the event of default. The process is governed by statute, but is

not supervised by any court.

Probate: The court procedure in which a decedent’s liabilities are

settled and her assets are distributed to her heirs.

Public Notice: Notice given to the public or persons affected

regarding certain types of legal proceedings, usually by publishing

in a newspaper of general circulation. This notice is usually

required in matters that concern the public.

PITCHING: LSU needed eight pitchers in the game, tied College World Series recordFROM B1

LSU (49-18) had its 17-game win streak end with its most lopsided loss in Omaha since a 20-6 rout by Cal State Fullerton in 1994.

“It wasn’t what we expected or hoped for, obviously,” Tigers coach Paul Mainieri said. “Heck of a way for a 17-game winning streak to end. Right from the start things didn’t go well for us.”

Starter Eric Walker (8-2) left the game after throwing four pitches in the third inning because of forearm tightness. Caleb Gilbert held the Beavers for a couple of innings, but they capitalized on a couple of LSU misplays to go up 3-0 in the fifth.

“They’re definitely a scrappy offense,”

Gilbert said. “I thought I was making some good pitches. They would just foul it off, and I’d have to go right back at it, do it again. Just couldn’t get that put-away when it was crunch time.”

Oregon State broke the game open in the sixth.

Harrison hammered Hunter Newman’s first pitch to him over the left-center fence for the first CWS grand slam since 2010, the last year the event was played at Rosenblatt Stadium.

Harrison broke into a wide smile as he watched the ball fly out, his trot turned into a run and he whooped and pounded his chest as he approached teammates waiting at home plate.

Harrison has four home runs and 14 RBIs

in seven NCAA Tournament games.“That’s the stuff you dream of doing,”

Harrison said, “and for it to come true on such a big stage is an amazing feeling.”

Fehmel (6-2), who pitched a complete game in the Beavers’ super regional-clinch-ing win over Vanderbilt on June 10, made his second postseason start since the rota-tion was adjusted to account for the loss of Luke Heimlich.

Heimlich, the Pac-12 pitcher of the year, has been out since it was revealed June 8 that when he was a teenager he pleaded guilty to molesting a 6-year-old girl.

Fehmel wiggled out of a mini jam in the fifth before Zach Watson’s homer in the seventh allowed LSU to avoid getting shut out for the first time in its 62 CWS games.

“I guess the main thing was to keep them off-balance as best I could,” Fehmel said. “I mixed all three pitches for strikes, and I did that for eight innings to the best of my abil-ity, and it worked out.”

LOTS OF PITCHERS

LSU used eight pitchers to tie the CWS record for most in a game. Walker and Gilbert were the only ones to work at least two innings. Those eight pitchers combined for 12 walks, the most in Mainieri’s 11 years at LSU.

HE DOESN’T GIVE UP MANYNewman, LSU’s former closer, had

not allowed a homer this season until Harrison’s grand slam. It was only the sec-ond home run Newman has allowed in 100 innings he’s worked since 2015.

MORE ON THAT SLAMThere were 196 bases-loaded at-bats in the

CWS between Matt Curry’s grand slam for TCU in 2010 and Harrison’s slam Monday. It was the sixth slam hit at the stadium in 313 total games since 2011. Creighton plays its home games at the park.

in the Bracket 1 final on Friday. The Tigers play Florida State in an elimination game on Wednesday.

MOVES: Pacers talking trade for GeorgeFROM B1

The Cavs will try to improve their roster this summer as superstar LeBron James enters his final season under contract.

A team spokesman said Trent Redden, the team’s senior vice president of bas-ketball operations, is also not returning. Assistant general manager Koby Altman remains with the team and is part of a group overseeing draft preparation and trade talks. The Cavs have reportedly been contacted by the Indiana Pacers in a poten-tial deal for All-Star Paul George, who will be a free agent after the 2017-18 season.

A few hours after Cleveland’s summer was thrown into chaos, James offered his support to Griffin on Twitter.

“If no one appreciated you Griff I did, and hopefully all the people of Cleveland!” James wrote. “Thanks for what u did for the team for 3 yrs! We got us 1 (trophy).”

The 47-year-old Griffin had been Cleveland’s GM since May 2014. He took over the role on a full-time basis after serv-ing as an interim GM for three months fol-lowing Chris Grant’s firing.

Griffin was in control during the team’s return to prominence after James came back following four seasons in Miami. Griffin orchestrated the trade that brought All-Star Kevin Love from Minnesota, and he bolstered the Cavs’ roster with other trades and crafty free agent signings.

However, perhaps Griffin’s biggest move was firing coach David Blatt midway through the 2015-16 season despite the Cavs being 30-11. Griffin didn’t think the Cavs were playing with the passion they needed

under Blatt, and he promoted assistant Tyronn Lue, who led the Cavs to their first title.

Although the team scuffled at times during a disjointed 2016-17 season, James, who can opt out of his contract after next season, went out of his way to praise Griffin. James even campaigned to get Griffin an extension after he pulled off a trade to get Kyle Korver, one of the league’s best outside shooters.

But despite Griffin’s many successes, Gilbert decided they needed to go separate ways, ending a stretch of unprecedented accomplishments for the Cavs.

Griffin was the fourth GM to work for Gilbert, who bought the franchise in 2005 and has remained deeply engaged in all aspects of his team. That hands-on approach may have upset others, but Griffin seemed to find the right balance with his boss.

Griffin, though, did not get an extension after the Cavs won the title last year and he essentially worked as a lame duck during a sometimes turbulent 2016-17 season. Griffin was targeted by Atlanta and Orlando for GM openings, but Gilbert did not grant those teams permission to speak with Griffin during the playoffs. Those positions are now filled.

When another front-office vacancy in Milwaukee was recently filled, Griffin lost some leverage in his attempt to get a raise.

Still, there was hope Gilbert and Griffin could work out a deal, and the two met last week to discuss this past season and future plans.

They won’t be together.

Golden Knights may get franchise goalie

George McPhee can’t wait to fill the white board, the one in the Vegas Golden Knights’ expansion draft room. On Wednesday night, the staff will start adding the names of players who will become part of the expansion team for its first NHL season.

“We’re going to put our team together and we’ll watch it come to life in front of us,” McPhee said.

What will that team look like when it takes the ice in early October? It won’t have all the top-end talent available because side deals will allow Vegas to stockpile draft picks and prospects for the future, but it will prob-ably be the most competi-tive expansion team in the league’s history.

“I’m really pleased with what’s available,” McPhee told reporters in Las Vegas on Sunday. “This has worked out very well for the Vegas Golden Knights, and we expect to put a good, entertaining club on the ice.”

Here’s a projection of who the inaugural Golden Knights might snap up by Wednesday night:

GOALTENDERS (MINIMUM 3)

SURE BET: Three-time Stanley Cup champion Marc-Andre Fleury seems like the most reliable pick on the board, a recognizable face of the franchise who can easily start 50-60 games and give the Golden Knights

chances to win. Fleury waived his no-movement clause so the Pittsburgh Penguins didn’t have to force another trade, and the 32-year-old can go back to being a clear No. 1 goalie.

WORTH THE GAMBLE: Fleury could be joined by an established 20-something backup, like Philadelphia’s Michal Neuvirth, Detroit’s Petr Mrazek, Colorado’s Calvin Pickard or New York’s Antti Raanta.

McPhee and Vegas goaltending coach Dave Prior have connections to Neuvirth and Washington’s Philipp Grubauer from drafting them with the Capitals. McPhee described Neuvirth as “almost techni-cally perfect.”

“It was just about him growing up and maturing,” McPhee said at the scouting combine. “We thought that when that happened, he’d be an outstanding goaltender. And he’s at that point now. He can be really good.”

ROLLING THE DICE: Maybe Vegas wants to groom its starter of the future, in which case Grubauer, Boston’s Malcolm Subban, Detroit’s Jared Coreau or Toronto’s Antoine Bibeau could fit.

DON’T SLEEP ON: Vegas controls the trade market and can make some extra picks to flip a goalie or two. Arizona and Philadelphia are in need of starters.

DEFENSEMEN (MINIMUM 9)

SURE BET: Assuming Anaheim has already worked out a trade to keep

Vegas away from Sami Vatanen and Josh Manson — perhaps at the cost of a first-round pick — there are still plenty of young, afford-able defensemen to choose from along with some veter-ans. Dion Phaneuf refusing to waive his no-movement clause forced Ottawa to pro-tect him and expose 31-year-old Marc Methot.

Minnesota’s plethora of blue liners made Matt Dumba, 22, and Marco Scandella, 27, available unless the Wild is willing to fork something over, and 25-year-old right-shooting Trevor van Riemsdyk from Chicago seems ticketed for the Golden Knights.

WORTH THE GAMBLE: With speed, skating and puck-moving skills a pri-ority, Detroit’s Xavier Oullet (23), Washington’s Nate Schmidt (25) and Montreal’s Nikita Nesterov (24) all could fit well. Want some more size and phys-icality? Vegas could look at Boston’s Colin Miller (24), Edmonton’s Griffin Reinhart (23) and Buffalo’s Zach Bogosian (26).

ROLLING THE DICE: Pending free agent Kevin Shattenkirk of the Capitals wants to be a No. 1 defense-man and could get that role in Vegas.

“It’s a very interesting situation,” Shattenkirk said. “Usually, you’re talking to teams or thinking of teams and you have some sort of idea of how they’re built or their history or whatever it may be, and they are com-pletely fresh.”
