SHERIDAN — Sheridan City Councilhas officially opened a vacant Councilseat for applications from city resi-dents.

The seat was vacated when formerCouncilman Levi Dominguez resignedto pursue a career with the SheridanCounty Sheriff ’s Office.

Currently, two people from Ward 3 —Val Burgess and Planning

Commissioner Thayer Shafer — haveapplied for the position. However, theCouncil decided at its meeting Mondaythat applications will be taken from res-idents citywide since the ward systemhas been replaced by an at-large systemof representation.

By a vote of 5-0, the Council decidedto begin accepting applications immedi-ately and hold interviews and a vote onthe candidates at its meeting April 7.

Anyone who is interested should sub-mit a letter of interest and a resume to

City Clerk Scott Badley before April 7. Badley said the Council will decide on

April 7 if it wishes to fill the seat withsomeone from Ward 3 or with an at-large representative.

Whoever is appointed to the seat willfill it until the general election inNovember. At that point, the seat will beup for election and whoever fills it willfinish Dominguez’s term through 2016.

Whoever is appointed to the seat inApril will have to run for election ifthey wish to continue in the position.

SHERIDAN — Late last week, several cityofficials from Sheridan and Dayton traveled toCheyenne for the Wyoming Association ofMunicipalities Winter Workshop and opportu-nities to meet with legislators.

Councilman Alex Lee said highlights from histime at WAM included “cracker barrel” discus-sions with leaders from similarly-sized citiesabout issues they have faced and overcome. Hesaid it was key to him to learn from people inhis shoes.

In one round table discussion, the topicturned to pension plans and negotiations withthe firefighter’s union on wages for firefighters.

Lee said it was interesting to him that RockSprings is currently struggling to work througharbitration while going into budget season,which creates uncertainty on how to budget,just like Sheridan.

“Because of the way the state statute is writ-ten and the timeline from which we prepare abudget and move forward, all of these things

come together and makes it tight. If we do finda disagreement and can’t come to an agreementwith the union, we must try to budget witharbitration hanging over our head, and wedon’t know what’s coming out of that,” Leesaid. “You just do the best you can and try totreat everyone the best you can. You can’t justthink about one department; you must thinkabout all of them and do the best you can.”

Lee also said he enjoyed the time to presentSheridan’s needs to Sheridan County represen-tatives and senators. He said he is learning thevalue of networking with legislators through-out the year.

Mayor Dave Kinskey said his highlight fromthe WAM Winter Workshop was being able toget to know the organization’s new director.

Shelley Simonton was appointed as executivedirector of WAM after long-time directorGeorge Parks retired.

“She’s a dynamo. She’s energetic. She’s verystrong on building the right kind of relation-ships,” Kinskey said.

Sheridan officials attend a "Cracker Barrel" session to discuss issues with representativesfrom similarly-sized cities at the Wyoming Association of Municipalities Winter Workshopin Cheyenne on Thursday.

FROM STAFF REPORTS

SHERIDAN — The Sheridan CountyAttorney Matt Redle has contacted theWyoming Attorney General’s Office to seeif they would pursue civil penaltiesagainst Sheridan County School District 2for violating both the state’s open meet-ings law and the open records law.

On Feb. 25, The Sheridan Press submit-ted a request to Sheridan County AttorneyMatt Redle, asking him to pursue the casesagainst the school district and board oftrustees for the violations.

A recreational facility

Last month, Whitney Benefits hosted aneducational summit at which SheridanCounty School District 2 board PresidentRichard Bridger mentioned plans for alarge, indoor recreational facility.

On Jan. 31, The Sheridan Press made apublic documents request pursuant toWyoming law for any and all documentsrelated to the proposed facility, includingmeeting minutes, emails and correspon-dence. Wyoming law requires these docu-ments be made available for public inspec-tion upon request.

Documents were turned over Feb. 5 dur-ing an interview and no indication wasgiven that more documents were to bereleased.

“... here’s all your documents, too, thatyou guys asked for so I’ll give those toyou,” SCSD2 Superintendent CraigDougherty said in the interview.

SHERIDAN — At the opening of theSheridan County School District 2 regularboard meeting last night, SagebrushElementary music and keyboard teacherPam Moore was recognized with the 2014Wyoming Music Education Association’sNortheast District Music Educator award.

She received the award from SagebrushPrincipal Mike Wood and she thankedhim and the district for strongly support-ing the arts districtwide.

The recognition was followed by a pres-

entation from Sheridan High SchoolPrincipal Dirlene Wheeler whoannounced that SHS students GretchenDougherty and Aaron Campbell wererecently named National Merit Scholarfinalists.

She noted that they were two of 1.5 mil-lion students who initially applied for therecognition and the finalists have nowbeen narrowed to 15,000.

The board also received a constructionupdate from Superintendent CraigDougherty.

RESPONSE: Face $750 civil penalties for violationsFROM 1

Documents received from the dis-trict indicated that SCSD2 had spentmore than $17,000 with Ballard*Kingand Associates to conduct a marketanalysis for the recreation facility.That report showed the facility couldoperate on a $700,000 to $1.7 millionannual deficit. Estimates for the build-ing itself, done by the school districtin conjunction with TSP, Inc. ofSheridan showed the building couldcost $45 million.

But the documents turned over bythe school district Feb. 5 did notinclude at least two documents itshould have — a proposal from HilltopPublic Solutions of Billings outlininga marketing campaign for a bondissue to fund the building and anemail exchange between Doughertyand Northern Wyoming CommunityCollege District President Paul Youngindicating SCSD2 was considering aMay 2014 bond issue election.

Those two documents, and otherswere turned over Feb. 28, after theyhad been received from other sourcesand been reported on in The SheridanPress.

The Sheridan Press has alleged thatnot turning over the documents whenrequested was a violation of the pub-lic records law, which states that any-one who knowingly or intentionallyviolates the act is liable for a civilpenalty of up to $750.

Closed meetings

The large multi-purpose recreationfacility has been discussed by theschool district for approximately two

years with local interest groups, buthas not been discussed in public meet-ings. Dougherty admitted in the Feb. 5interview with The Press that theproject had been discussed in execu-tive, or closed, sessions of the SCSD2board of trustees.

Wyoming’s open meetings law statesthat, all meetings of a public bodymust be open unless one meets anexemption listed in the statutes.Common exemptions include whenthe governing body must discuss per-sonnel issues, real estate or ongoinglitigation.

Dougherty said the discussionsregarding the recreation facility fellunder the real estate exemption of thelaw. He added that the school boardonly discussed the project in terms ofits potential future footprint.

Yet in order to discuss the footprintof a potential building, the boardwould have first had to discuss theproject itself, which it has not donepublicly in an open board meeting.

On Feb. 12, The Press filed a petitionin 4th Judicial District Court allegingthe school district violated the state’sexecutive sessions law by holdingclosed sessions in regards to the pro-posed recreational facility.

The petition filed by The Press indistrict court asks the judge to rulethat the school board violated theopen meetings law and requests thejudge require the board make themeeting minutes from those closedsessions in which the project was dis-cussed public.

On Feb. 28th, an attorney forSheridan County School District 2filed a response to The SheridanPress’ petition. Kendal Hoopes of

Sheridan law firm Yonkee & Tonerdrafted the response in which theschool district denies the Press’ alle-gations as worded and claims the dis-trict operated appropriately under theWyoming Public Meetings Act.

The law states that any member ormembers of an agency who knowinglyor intentionally violate the law areliable for a civil penalty not to exceed$750.

Why the county attorney?

Wyoming’s Public Records Act statesthat any action pursuant to that law“shall be initiated by the attorney gen-eral or the appropriate county attor-ney.” The public meetings statutes donot specify who can pursue the civilpenalties in court.

The fact that civil penalties in onelaw could only be pursued by thecounty attorney or the attorney gener-al is why The Press sent the Feb. 25request to the county attorney. ThePress has asked Redle to pursue civilpenalties both for the violation ofopen meetings law and the violation ofthe public records law.

On Monday, Redle said he has con-tacted the attorney general’s officebecause SCSD2 school board memberErica O’Dell works in the SheridanCounty Attorney’s Office. Redle saidhe is awaiting word from the attorneygeneral.

If either Redle or the WyomingAttorney General’s Office takes up thecase, The Press has asked that its peti-tion filed earlier in February be sus-pended pending the outcome of thecounty attorney or attorney general’scase.

MEETING: 238 students registered for SCSD2 kindergarten between Feb. 12-14FROM 1

Dougherty told the board that construction at Henry A.Coffeen Elementary School is continuing on schedule andthere are two construction related projects he will ask theboard for action on in April.

One is a professional services agreement with TSPArchitects for renovations to the Sheridan High School

locker rooms and the other is an agreement with MaloneBelton Abel Architects for replacement of the roof on theEarly Building that was damaged in a hailstorm.

SCSD2 Board Chairman Richard Bridger noted that thelocker room expansion project at the high school is of par-ticular importance.

“The new high school isn’t that new anymore,” he said.“It is going on 30 years old and we’ve been perpetuallyupgrading. This is just an ongoing thing. The locker roomsdefinitely need a major upgrade and they need an expan-sion because our numbers have just ballooned.”

Scott Stults, director of elementary education, updatedthe board on kindergarten registration that was held Feb12-14. He noted that 238 students registered during theevent and another 12 students have been registered sincethen. Traci Turk, director of special education, gave a

report on SCSD2’s special education ratings. She notedthat approximately 68 percent of SCSD2 special educationstudents graduate, compared to the state target of 58 per-cent. Additionally, approximately 8 percent of special edu-cation students drop out before graduation, compared tothe state target of 11 percent. She said the district is meet-ing or exceeding most state goals for special education stu-dents.

Trustee Scott Hininger said the Sheridan RecreationDistrict recently heard a report on Kendrick Pool. It isdown to two to three years of life left and there does notappear to be any money from the city available for renova-tions. The district is looking to partner with the school dis-trict to possibly repair or replace it.

“It is an aged facility and it is really in dire need of somemajor overhaul,” Hininger said.

WAM: Lobbied legislators on funding for municipalitiesFROM 1

“I think there’s a whole new look andfeel that she brings to the table. She isharnessing the local elected officials tospeak directly with legislators aboutmatters of concern. They did that inthe past, but not to the extent thatShelley is willing to do that,” he said.

Kinskey also noted how keenly citiesand towns were watching the budget asit moved through the House andSenate.

At one point, the JointAppropriations Committee had pro-posed pulling funds from Payment inLieu of Taxes from the distribution tolocal governments, cutting the overalldistribution from $175 million to $150million. It was also proposed to alter

the budget distribution to favor largercities over smaller cities, Kinskey said,which he did not support.

“My view in all that discussion is,this is a governor who’s been good tolocal government. We don’t make amove without talking to the governor.And Shelley led a small delegation tosee the governor and said, ‘This iswhere we are; this is what’s happeningin the Legislature. Do we compromise,what do we do?’ And the governor said,‘Stand firm. Stand on my budget,’”Kinskey said. “That’s the right answer;that’s what we did.”

Kinskey said Rep. Mike Madden, R-Buffalo, and Sen. John Schiffer, R-Kaycee, floor managed amendments tothe budget to restore Gov. Matt Mead’srecommended distribution to local gov-ernments of $175 million over the two-

year biennium to begin July 1, 2014. Kinskey said he also enjoyed hud-

dling with other officials from north-east Wyoming.

He said continued efforts will bemade to work together with cities andcounties in northeast Wyoming on col-laborative projects for the benefit of allinvolved.

Dayton Mayor Bob Wood said hemost enjoyed watching House Bill 47,which will enable municipalities toapply for state funds to build naturalgas pipelines, move through the Houseand Senate while he was in Cheyenne.

Monday, the bill passed third readingin the Senate and was returned to theHouse of Representatives to concur ona Senate amendment.

The House concurred, and the billhas been approved.

THE SHERIDAN PRESS | JUSTIN SHEELY

CHEYENNE (AP) — A bill that would allow for aspecial legislative session to deal with fallout fromthe recent state Supreme Court decision in thesuperintendent of public instruction case died inthe state House on Monday.

Senate File 106 died when the House finished itsbusiness for the day without holding its firstdebate on the proposal. Any bills not debated forthe first time by Monday automatically die underthe budget session schedule.

“We didn’t have time for it,” said Majority FloorLeader Kermit Brown, R-Laramie. “It’s not thatimportant anyway. There’s nothing in that bill thatManagement Council can’t do.”

The bill had passed the Senate earlier.In January, a divided Supreme Court decided

that the 2013 law that removed the elected superin-tendent as head of the Department of Educationwas unconstitutional.

The ruling came in a lawsuit filed bySuperintendent Cindy Hill, who remains in officebut with far fewer duties.

However, the district court where Hill’s lawsuitwas filed still has to issue a final order in the case.In addition, that order can be appealed by thestate. Brown said once the courts have concludedwith the case, the Legislature can deal with thematter. He noted that the Supreme Court’s decisiongave no direction to the Legislature on how toresolve the superintendent’s duties so that theymeet constitutional muster. The court’s decisionacknowledged that the Legislature can change thesuperintendent’s duties.

Under the bill, a special interim committeewould have been created to come up with a recom-mendation for a possible special legislative sessionto consider. Brown and other legislative leadershad said that the court ruling came too late for thecurrent short budget session so they decided tointroduce the bill setting out a process for theLegislature to address the matter. Some leadersalso said they wanted to take the initiative and notleave it up to the courts to decide specific dutiesthe superintendent should be given. But Brownsaid Monday evening that the bill was prematuresince the legal proceedings haven’t been complet-ed. He denied there was any connection to lettingthe bill die and an amendment proposed by Rep.Garry Piiparinen, R-Evanston, that would haverestored all the duties the superintendent hadbefore the 2013 law was enacted.

SHERIDAN — Within acouple weeks, snowremoval around the citywill be able to move approx-imately three times fasterwhen city streets crewsbegin to use a new loadermounted snow blowerapproved for purchase bySheridan City Council at itsmeeting Monday.

By a vote of 5-0, theCouncil approved the publicworks department to pur-chase a Larue Model D65loader mounted snow blow-er for $188,804 from thefixed asset reserve, whichwas created with fiscal year2014 supplemental funds.The snow blower wasdemonstrated for the cityduring last week’s snowstorm and will replace anold snow blower that brokethree times during thestorm.

“One of the two snowblowers currently owned bythe city of Sheridan contin-ues to break down duringmajor snow events andcauses major staffing downtime, continued mainte-nance costs and additionaldelays in snow collectionoperations,” Public WorksDirector Nic Bateson saidin a memo to the Council.

Councilman RobertWebster expressed hisexcitement for the newequipment.

“Ever since I’ve been onCouncil, we’ve looked fornew locations for to putsnow,” Webster said.

“With this we’ve found anew location, and it’scalled, ‘up,’” he added.

The new snow blower canblow snow 70 feet into theair, so piles of snow will beable to be piled higher. Theblower can also grind snowshoveled to the middle ofthe street and blow it into adump truck for removalusing a swivel-head to con-trol direction of placement.

Councilman Alex Leeoriginally expressed that hewould not support the pur-chase because he worried itdidn’t fit into the city’srepair and replace plan forfleet maintenance and pur-chase.

He wanted to see theblower purchase bid outand have time to considerthe purchase.

However, after listening tofellow Council membersexpress support and beliefthat the purchase will savethe city money in the longterm with savings in manhours and costs of repair,and after Bateson said theblower has been a consider-ation for years but becamea need this winter, Leechanged his mind and votedin favor of the purchase.

Also at the meeting, CityEngineer Lane Thompsongave an update on snowremoval through the mostrecent storm that endedSunday.

Thompson said from Feb.22 through Sunday, snowremoval took 653 regularman hours and 258 over-time hours. Crews hauledapproximately 29,000 cubic

yards of snow and drove8,000 lane miles. To date forthe entire season, 122,056cubic yards of snow havebeen hauled, 31,613 lanemiles have been driven and996 tons of ice slicer havebeen dropped.

Mayor Dave Kinskeythanked city residents for

their cooperation in movingcars on snow routes so theycould be plowed curb tocurb.

Kinskey also asked thatthe city “turn up the heat”on ticketing cars that arenot removed when snowalerts are called andexpressed a desire to meet

with Sheridan CountySchool District 2 to estab-lish school bus routes so thecity can regularly plowthose routes. At this time,the school district hasestablished pick up timesand locations, but it allowsbus drivers to choose theirroute each day.

FROM STAFF REPORTS

SHERIDAN — Edward Jones financial advisor DougDewald of Sheridan has been named the No. 1 financialadvisor in Wyoming by Barron’s magazine in its 2014 rank-ings of “top financial advisors, state-by-state.”

The top 1,200 financial advisors are recognized through-out the U.S.

“The Barron’s ranking is a widely respectedlist of the nation’s pre-eminent financial advi-sors that considers the success of their busi-ness practice as well as their community serv-ice,” said Edward Jones managing partner JimWeddle of St. Louis, the headquarters for Jones.

“I take my commitment to my clients veryseriously and enjoy helping them work towardsshort-term needs and long-term goals. I’m hon-

ored to be included in this list,” said Dewald. His office is located at 115 Coffeen Ave. and he works

with senior branch office administrator Colleen Hornay.Three components are used in the ranking of financial

advisors — assets managed, revenue produced and qualityof practice, according to Jones.

Investment returns are not a component of the rankingsbecause the advisor’s returns are dictated largely by therisk tolerance of clients.

The quality-of-practice component includes an evalua-tion of each advisor’s regulatory record. Jones was rankedNo. 4 overall as Fortune magazines Best 100 Companies toWork For rankings.

There are 12,000-plus financial advisors and more thanseven million clients associated with Jones.

DENVER (AP) — Republicans are criticizing ColoradoBureau of Investigations data that tracks the number ofbackground checks done on private gun sales since a newlaw expanded the number of reviews required.

The GOP failed last month in an effort to repeal the lawthat added online and private-seller transactions to a listof mandated checks.

During debate on the repeal attempt, CBI Director RonSloan said 6,200 checks were done on “private transfersthat were covered under HB1229.”

Democrats sized on that figure in rejecting the repealattempt, saying it showed that the law was working.Republicans, however, said the number was misleading.

According to CBI data released late Friday, 2,361 of the6,199 private background checks done in the first sixmonths of the law going into effect were conducted at gunshows. Background checks at gun shows have long beenrequired under state law.

Republican Senate Leader Bill Cadman said Monday thathe was “extremely concerned that such misleading infor-mation would be provided as factually based testimony bythe senior law enforcement professional in Colorado.”

“It’s alarming that these were presented in such a way toa committee to substantiate the Democrats’ desire to killthis bill,” he said. CBI spokeswoman Susan Medinadefended Sloan’s testimony, saying in an email late

Monday that “although certain types of private firearmstransfers required background checks prior to the passageof HB13-1229 those private transfers are now coveredunder HB13-1229.”

All of the checks Sloan cited are covered under the newlaw, Medina stated.

Democratic Sen. Irene Aguilar, who was on the commit-tee that rejected the Republican repeal attempt, said thenumbers haven’t undermined her belief in the back-ground check expansion passed last year in the wake ofmass shootings in Colorado and Connecticut.

“You get back to a basic philosophy of, ‘Do you think it’sreasonable to ask every time a gun is transferred that abackground check be done?’” she said in support of thelaw. She continued, saying “to really know the effect ofthat law in specific, you’d need to have more details onthese numbers and the non-gun show” figures. Aguilaralso said it would also be helpful to see what the data showonce the law has been in effect for a longer period of time.

Cadman said he doubts that introducing another repealbill this year would succeed, even with more detail on thedata. The bureau released the numbers late Friday inresponse to requests from The Associated Press and othermedia. An analysis of the data fails to provide a fullaccounting of the effect of the law because transactionsbetween private parties at gun shows have long required

background checks under Colorado law, and it’s not knownwhether total gun sales went up or down during the timeencompassed by the data.

The CBI figures showed little change in the number ofbackground checks for private firearm transactions beforeand after a law expanding the checks took effect July 1.

There were 3,838 background checks on private transac-tions that didn’t take place at gun shows from Julythrough December 2013, after the law started requiringsuch reviews for sales between private parties within thestate. The CBI data show that during the same six-monthperiod in 2012 — before the new law — there were 3,854checks listed as non-gun-show private transactions.

CBI has not made clear what were considered privatetransactions before the law’s expansion. But lawmakersfrom both parties have said those earlier checks could befrom gun sales in which the seller was out of state.

Federal law requires background checks on gun salesthat cross state lines, which go through a licensed dealerin the buyer’s state.

Matt Solomon, the owner of Alpine Arms in Eagle, saidthat since 2008 there hasbeen a private sale option onbackground check forms, adesignation he applied toonline transactions.

— Marcus Tullius Cicero, Romanphilosopher/politician/orator, 106 BC-43 BC

One hundred years after a spark inCentral Europe ignited a conflagrationfrom which the world has not yetrecovered and from which Europe will

never recover, armed forces have crossed aninternational border in Central Europe, elic-iting this analysis from Secretary of StateJohn Kerry: “It’s a 19th century act in the21st century. It really puts at questionRussia’s capacity to be within the G8.”

Although this “19th century act” resem-bles many 20th century (and 16th, 17th and18th century) acts, it is, the flabbergastedKerry thinks, astonishing in the 21st cen-tury, which he evidently supposes to beentirely unlike any other. What is moredisconcerting — that Kerry believes this?Or that his response to Putin’s aggressionis to question Russia’s “capacity” — Kerrymeans fitness — for membership in theG8?

For many centuries, European peace hasbeen regularly broken because nationalborders do not tidily coincide with ethnic,linguistic and religious patterns. Thisproblem was intensified by World War I,which demolished the Habsburg, Romanovand Ottoman empires. Ukraine is a shardof the first two, and a neighbor of a rem-nant of the third.

The problems bequeathed by that warwere aggravated by a peacemaker, one ofKerry’s precursors among American pro-gressives eager to share with the worldtheir expertise at imposing rationality onuntidy societies. Unfortunately, WoodrowWilson’s earnestness about improving theworld was larger than his appreciation ofhow the world’s complexities can causeimprovers to make matters worse.

Wilson injected into diplomatic discoursethe idea that “self-determination” is a uni-versal right and “an imperative principleof action.” Several of his Fourteen Pointsconcerned self-determination. But of what

“self ” was he speaking?Sometimes he spoke ofthe self-determination of“nations,” at other timesof “peoples,” as thoughthese are synonyms.Wilson’s secretary ofstate, Robert Lansing,wondered “what unithas he in mind” andwarned that “certainphrases” of Wilson’s“have not been thoughtout.” But they resonated.In the Atlantic Charter

of 1941, Franklin Roosevelt and WinstonChurchill affirmed the rights of “peoples.”The U.N. Charter endorses the self-deter-mination of “peoples.” Which became athird ingredient, ethnic self-determination.Wilson had sown dragon’s teeth.

Lansing said the “undigested” word “self-determination” is “loaded with dynamite.... It will, I fear, cost thousands of lives.”While Wilson was making phrases in 1918,a German corporal recovering from a gasattack was making plans. And on Sept. 27,1938, the corporal, then Germany’s chan-cellor, said “the right of self-determina-tion, which had been proclaimed byPresident Wilson as the most importantbasis of national life, was simply denied tothe Sudeten Germans” and must beenforced. So Czechoslovakia was dismem-bered. Still, the war came.

Three months from the end of the war inEurope, the architects of the impendingvictory — Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin— met at a town on the Crimean peninsulawhere Putin is now tightening his grip.Conservatives who should know betterhave often said the Yalta Conference“gave” Eastern Europe to the SovietUnion. Actually, the Red Army was in theprocess of acquiring it. This process could

no more have been resisted militarily byStalin’s allies, which the United States andBritain then were, than Putin’s aggressioncan be.

“You may not be interested in war, butwar is interested in you,” supposedly saidLev Bronstein, as Leon Trotsky was knownwhen he lived in the Bronx, before he madethe Red Army, the parent of the forcesPutin is wielding. Barack Obama, whoinvolved the United States in seven monthsof war with Libya, perhaps because theproject was untainted by U.S. nationalinterest, is seeking diplomatic and espe-cially economic leverage against Putin’sramshackle nation in order to advance theenormous U.S. interest in depriving him ofUkraine.

Unless Obama finds such leverage, hisprecipitous slide into Jimmy Carter terri-tory will continue. As an expression of dis-dain for a U.S. president, Putin’s seizure ofUkraine’s Crimean peninsula is symmetri-cal with Leonid Brezhnev’s invasion ofAfghanistan late in Carter’s presidency.Large presidential failures cannot be her-metically sealed; they permeate a presiden-cy. Putin’s contribution to the miniaturiza-tion of Obama comes in the context ofObama’s self-inflicted wound —Obamacare, which simultaneously shat-tered belief in his competence and honesty,and may linger as ruinously for Obama asthe Iranian hostage crisis did for Carter.

This may be condign punishment forObama’s foreign policy carelessness andfor his wishful thinking about Putin as a“partner” and about a fiction (“the inter-national community”) being consequen-tial. It certainly is dangerous.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A cold, grayday greeted revelers gathering Tuesdayalong parade routes as the Carnivalseason in New Orleans headed to acrest with the unabashed celebration ofMardi Gras.

The first street marching groups —including clarinetist Pete Fountain’sHalf-Fast Walking Club — were tobegin their marches along oak-lined St.Charles Avenue and into the businessdistrict.

The Zulu parade began on schedule,led by a New Orleans police vanguardon horseback that included MayorMitch Landrieu.

Later, the floats of Rex — the king ofCarnival — and hundreds of trucktrailers decorated by family and socialgroups would wind down St. CharlesAvenue.

Rain began to fall early in the morn-ing in New Orleans, and umbrellas andraincoats sprouted along the parade

route. Sleet was expected to fall onsome merrymakers in areas north andwest of the city.

But revelers were still expected togather by the tens of thousands in theFrench Quarter, where the bawdy sideof Mardi Gras would surely be on fulldisplay.

Mark Nelson of St. Louis said hewould be in the mix even in a down-pour for his first Mardi Gras.

“That’s why God made washingmachines,” Nelson said as he sipped ona daiquiri. Along the Uptown paraderoute, Carol LeBlanc and husband HovLeBlanc of New Orleans were strollingalong St. Charles Avenue with friendsVicki and Duane O’Flynn from Arabi,La. The troupe was dressed as scare-crows, stuffed with grass and wearingplaid pants and tattered coveralls.

The cold weather wasn’t worryingLeBlanc. “I’ve got my long johns on,”she said.

Van Cliburn, Americanclassical pianist, dies

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) —Van Cliburn, the internationallycelebrated pianist whose triumphat a 1958 Moscow competitionhelped thaw the Cold War andlaunched a spectacular careerthat made him the rare classicalmusician to enjoy rock-star sta-tus, died last week after a fightwith bone cancer. He was 78.

Cliburn died at his home inFort Worth surrounded by lovedones, said his publicist and long-time friend Mary Lou Falcone.

The Grammy winner had madehis last public appearance inSeptember at the 50th anniver-sary of the prestigious pianocompetition in Fort Worth namedin his honor. To a roaring stand-ing ovation, he saluted many pastcontestants, the orchestra and thecity, saying: “Never forget: I loveyou all from the bottom of myheart, forever.”

“His legacy is one of being agreat humanitarian, a greatmusician, a great colleague, and agreat friend to all who knew andloved him. Van is iconic,” saidCarla Kemp Thompson, chair-woman of the Van CliburnFoundation, which hosts the com-

petition. “(We) join the interna-tional community in mourningthe loss of a true giant.”

Cliburn skyrocketed to famewhen he won the firstInternational TchaikovskyCompetition in Moscow at age 23in 1958, six months after theSoviets’ launch of Sputnikembarrassed the U.S. and pro-pelled the world into the spaceage. He triumphantly returned toa New York City ticker tapeparade — the first ever for a clas-sical musician — and a Timemagazine cover proclaimed him“The Texan Who ConqueredRussia.”

But the win also proved thepower of the arts, bringing unityin the midst of strong rivalry.Despite the tension between thenations, Cliburn became a heroto music-loving Soviets who clam-ored to see him perform andPremier Nikita Khrushchevreportedly gave the go-ahead forthe judges to honor a foreigner:“Is Cliburn the best? Then givehim first prize.”

In the years that followed,Cliburn’s popularity soared, andthe young man from the smalleast Texas town of Kilgore soldout concerts, caused riots whenspotted in public and evenprompted an Elvis Presley fan

club to change its name to his.His recording of the TchaikovskyPiano Concerto No. 1 withRussian conductor KirillKondrashin became the first clas-sical album to reach platinumstatus.

Time magazine’s 1958 coverstory quoted a friend as sayingCliburn could become “the firstman in history to be a Horowitz,Liberace and Presley all rolledinto one.”

Cliburn performed for royalty,heads of state in Europe, Asiaand South America, and for everyU.S. president since HarryTruman.

“Since we know that classicalmusic is timeless and everlasting,it is precisely the eternal veritiesinherent in classical music thatremain a spiritual beacon for peo-ple all over the world,” Cliburnonce said.

But he also used his skill andfame to help other young musi-cians through the Van CliburnInternational Music Competition,although he was never a judge.

Created by a group of FortWorth teachers and citizens in1962, the competition, held everyfour years, remains a pre-emi-nent showcase for the world’s toppianists. An amateur contest wasadded in 1999.

CHEYENNE (AP) — Both houses of the WyomingLegislature on passed a budget bill Monday that calls onGov. Matt Mead and other Wyoming officials to investigatewhether they can reach an agreement with the federal gov-ernment to expand Medicaid on the state’s terms.

The Senate voted 20-10 to approve the general govern-ment appropriations bill including the Medicaid negotia-tion language. The provision wouldn’t allow any expansionof the Medicaid program in the state without future leg-islative approval.

The approval came despite strong warnings from Sen.Charles Scott, R-Casper, that preparing the study wouldmake it more difficult for the state to resist expanding theprogram next year.

“My conscience tells me, my experience tells me, we’relooking at a considerable expansion of government,” Scottsaid, adding that he fears expanding the program would doharm to the state. He said he believes that Medicaidencourages people to use medical services excessively.

As chairman of the Senate Health, Labor and SocialServices Committee, Scott declined to allow his committeeto vote on a bill earlier this legislative session to acceptfederal funding to expand Medicaid to add 17,600 low-income adults. The House likewise defeated accepting out-right funding for the Medicaid expansion.

However, a House-Senate conference committee on thebudget agreed to language that would call on state officialsto work with the federal government to see if the statecould negotiate with federal officials to reach agreementon a plan called a demonstration waiver that differs fromconventional Medicaid expansion.

Expanding Medicaid is a fundamental element of the fed-eral Affordable Care Act. The Wyoming Legislature lastyear rejected $50 million in federal funds for the Medicaidexpansion. Mead, in his State of the State address lastmonth, urged lawmakers to continue to resist expandingthe federal program. He has said the state can’t trust feder-al promises to continue to fund the program in years tocome. Sen. John Schiffer, R-Kaycee, said studying the issuewould at least allow Wyoming to determine what itsoptions are.

“Up until now, because of legislative action, we have notbeen able to negotiate with the federal government,”Schiffer said.

“This is the first time we’ve had an opportunity to gofind out what chips are on the table and what are not,” hesaid. The Wyoming Democratic Party has attempted torally around the Medicaid expansion issue. The party hasheld news conferences recently featuring uninsured peoplewho would be covered by expanding the program.

The Wyoming Hospital Association and other groups,calling themselves the Wyoming Coalition for MedicaidSolutions, had pushed for full Medicaid expansion. Theyhave pointed to a study commissioned by the state healthdepartment that concluded expanding Medicaid would savethe state millions by relieving pressure on other healthprograms. The Hospital Association has pointed out thatpeople without health insurance costs everyone in the stateby running up hospital bills they can’t pay and forcing themedical establishment to raise fees to cover those costs.

The nonpartisan Equality State Policy Center is a mem-ber of the coalition. Director Dan Neal said after Monday’svote that the group is pleased to see the Medicaid languagego through so the state can explore its options.

“It’s important to remind people that we’ve given up theopportunity to insure 17,600 people in the state who other-wise will not have insurance this year,” Neal said. “But,there’s a chance that maybe insurance will be availablenext year if we can come up with a good program, so we’repleased to see it get through. We have to take what we can,this is a compromise.”

The $3.3 billion general government appropriations thatlawmakers sent to Mead will fund state government opera-tions for two years beginning this July.

The budget bill includes a little less than $80 million forstate employee salary increases. Executive branch employ-ees and workers at the University of Wyoming would seeraises averaging about 2.4 percent a year. Exact raises willdepend on performance ratings.

Employees in Wyoming’s K-12 schools would see a 1 per-cent pay raise for both years of the biennium under thebill. The proposal also calls for giving schools roughly $12million more earmarked directly for employee salaryincreases. The budget bill also specifies that all K-12employees would have to start contributing to the cost oftheir retirement benefits in the second year.

The budget bill calls for $175 million in state payments tolocal governments.

FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP)— A court martial on sexualassault charges is set tobegin for a U.S. Army gener-al who could face life inprison if convicted.

Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A.Sinclair is scheduled toappear Tuesday in a FortBragg courtroom on crimi-nal charges that includephysically forcing a femalecaptain under his commandto perform oral sex. The 51-year-old married fatheradmits he carried on athree-year extramaritalaffair with the junior offi-cer, but denies any physicalabuse.

Sinclair is believed to bethe highest-ranking U.S. mil-itary officer to ever facetrial for sexual assault andwill be judged by a jury offellow generals.

He has pleaded not guiltyto eight criminal countsincluding forcible sodomy,indecent acts, violatingorders, and conduct unbe-coming an officer.

MOSCOW (AP) — Accusing the West of encouragingan “unconstitutional coup” in Ukraine, Vladimir Putinsaid Tuesday that Moscow reserves the right to use itsmilitary to protect Russians there but voiced hope itwon’t need to do so. The Russian leader’s first com-ments on Ukraine since its fugitive president fled toRussia came as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerryarrived in Kiev to meet with Ukraine’s new govern-ment.

Putin declared that Western actions were drivingUkraine into anarchy and warned that any sanctionsthe West places on Russia for itsactions there will backfire. Both theU.S. and the 28-nation EuropeanUnion have raised the possibility ofsanctions against Russia.

The U.S. announced a $1 billionaid package Tuesday in energy sub-sidies to Ukraine, which is scram-bling to get international loans tofend off looming bankruptcy. Itsfinance minister, who has saidUkraine needs $35 billion to getthrough this year and next, wasmeeting Tuesday with officials fromthe International Monetary Fund.

Tensions remained high Tuesday in Crimea, withtroops loyal to Moscow firing warning shots to ward offprotesting Ukrainian soldiers. Russia took over thestrategic peninsula on Saturday, placing its troopsaround the peninsula’s ferry, military bases and borderposts. Two Ukrainian warships remained anchored inthe Crimean port of Sevastopol, blocked from leavingby Russian ships.

The new Ukrainian leadership in Kiev, which Putindoes not recognize, has accused Moscow of a militaryinvasion in Crimea.

Yet world markets seemed to recover from their frightover the situation in Ukraine, clawing back a largechunk of Monday’s stock losses, while oil, gold, wheatand the Japanese yen gave back some of their gains.

“Confidence in equity markets has been restored asthe standoff between Ukraine and Russia is no longeron red alert,” David Madden, market analyst at IG, saidTuesday.

Speaking from his residence outside Moscow, Putinsaid he still considers Viktor Yanukovych to beUkraine’s president and hopes that Russia won’t needto use force in predominantly Russian-speaking easternUkraine.

“We aren’t going to fight the Ukrainian people,” Putinsaid, adding that the massive military maneuvers

Russia has been doing near Ukraine’sborder had been planned and were unre-lated to the situation in Ukraine.

Earlier in the day, Putin had orderedtens of thousands of Russian troops par-ticipating in those exercises to return totheir bases — some 150,000 troops, hun-dreds of tanks and dozens of aircraft inall.

Putin also insisted that the Russianmilitary deployment in Crimea hasremained within the limits set by a bilat-eral agreement on a Russian militarybase there. He said Russia had no inten-tion of annexing Crimea, but insisted its

residents have the right to determine the region’s sta-tus in a referendum set for later this month.

Putin accused the West of using Yanukovych’s deci-sion in November to ditch a pact with the EU in favor ofcloser ties with Russia to encourage the months ofprotests that drove him from power and put Ukraine’sfuture in turmoil.

“We have told them a thousand times ‘Why are yousplitting the country?’” he said.

Yet he acknowledged that Yanukovych has no politi-cal future and said Russia gave him shelter only to savehis life.

Ukraine’s new government wants to put the fugitiveleader on trial for the deaths of over 80 people duringprotests last month in Kiev.

SHERIDAN — The Downtown SheridanAssociation's biggest annual fundraiser isslated for Friday and has sold out for thethird year in a row.

This year's DSA "Wild West Wine Fest"will feature 22 wine vendors in addition toa handful of beer brewers and whiskeymakers that will doll out samples toapproximately 400 guests.

This year will be the 15th Wine Fest host-ed by the DSA. Organizer Bonnie Gregorysaid the event has been one that has weath-ered the test of time.

"That's quite a longevity for a fundraiser,"Gregory said. "A lot of them come and go."

Gregory said the first Wine Fest eventwas held at the Sheridan Inn, where itstayed until renovations of the buildingprecluded public admittance. The festivalmoved to the Best Western SheridanCenter, and then back to the Inn. Since theInn is in the middle of changing hands andhaving renovations completed, Wine Festhas settled for the last few years atWarehouse 201.

"Last year was an interesting time,"Gregory said, recalling the last-minutesearch for a venue to host the event. "Wehad all of our whole board and Wine Festcommittee in there shoveling sheetrockdust and construction materials. It wasquite the feat to get it done on time."

In spite of bouncing from place to placewithin Sheridan's historic district over thepast year, Wine Fest has remained a staplesocial event for the DSA and has earned aplace as one of the most prominent winetasting events in the state.

The level of dedication of the peopleworking with and in the DSA to pull WineFest off speaks to the event's importance tothe financial health of the organizationdesignated to look after historic preserva-tion and economic health withinSheridan's downtown district.

"Before I started working for theDowntown Sheridan Association, I didn'treally understand what it was," Gregorysaid. " Like a lot of people, I thought it wassimilar or in competition with the(Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce).Now that I'm here, I understand it's a part-nership.”

DSA Executive Director Stacie Coe saidthat the DSA focus on downtown develop-ment and viability benefits the communitybeyond the borders of the designated his-toric district.

"When your downtown is strong, it sup-ports the rest of your community," Coesaid. "It's the place where you have yourfestivals and your markets and your enter-tainment. You can't have a homecomingparade in the Walmart parking lot."

Coe said while large retailers are impor-

tant and necessary to Sheridan's economy,keeping Main Street alive and well willhelp Sheridan keep its character.

"Strengthening our downtown onlymakes those places stronger," Coe said.

Gregory said even Wine Fest regulars aresurprised to learn how much hinges on theyear's main fundraiser and how dollars

from Wine Fest, about $38,000 this year, getstretched throughout the community.

"There's a whole population of our com-munity that's disconnected about whatWine Fest is for," Gregory said. "It is alarge portion of our operating budget."

The DSA is well known for the FarmersMarket and Third Thursday Street

Festivals, but these high profile summer-time activities are only a fraction of DSAoperations within the community.

Other highlights DSA initiatives include:• The ongoing Goose Creek Stream

Restoration Project, which began inKendrick park in 2008 and migrated toSouth Park by 2011. This year, hopes are tostabilize the banks of the river in Kendrickpark as is work on a downtown river walkon Dow Street.

• The approval of a DowntownDevelopment Authority by Sheridan's CityCouncil. The DDA is the first step towardcreating a special funding mechanism forprojects to benefit the historic district.

• The maintenance of an informationkiosk, community meeting room and pub-lic restrooms. The DSA facility was used byapproximately 5,000 people last year.

• Accredited membership in the WyomingMain Street Program, which provides fortechnical assistance grants of up to $20,000per year and support from the NationalTrust for Historic Preservation.

• DSA employees and volunteers handlemore than 155 flower baskets along MainStreet in the summer.

• Funded the 2012 Downtown SheridanBusiness Plan

• An ongoing feasibility study examiningthe possibility of establishing an entrepre-neurial center downtown to avoid emptyshop spaces on Main Street.

Wine Fest 411:

• Guests to this year's Wine Fest whopurchased VIP tickets should arrive at5:15 p.m. to be offered an exclusivewine list and hors d'oeuvres. Generaladmission starts at 6:30 p.m.

• As per tradition, this year's eventwill be catered by students of theWyoming Culinary Institute.

• This year's silent auction itemsinclude 10 sets of wine glasses paintedby prominent local artists, a dinner for10 at Wyoming Rep. Rosie Berger'shouse, a pheasant hunt, NFL getaways,a fly fishing trip, a bed and breakfasttour and a signed 1976 Sheridan-Wyo-Rodeo poster, among other high profileprizes.

• Guests will cast a vote via a pokerchip to designate a "Best in Show"exhibitor. The winning vendor gets anengraved spit bucket.

• The Sheridan Trolley will be avail-able to give safe rides within city lim-its

Braun has 2more hits inBrewers’ 4-2loss to CubsPHOENIX (AP) — Ryan

Braun raised his spring train-ing batting average to .800with a double and a single inthree plate appearances forthe Milwaukee Brewers dur-ing their 4-2 loss to theChicago Cubs on Monday.

Braun also made a nicecatch in his new position,right field. He has four hits,two for extra bases, and twowalks in seven plate appear-ances this spring.

“I’d rather hit it on the bar-rel right now than strike out,but results are completelyirrelevant,” said Braun, sus-pended for the final 65 gameslast season as part of theBiogenesis drug scandal.“Getting on base six out ofseven times ... I’ll take it.”

Shortstop prospect JavierBaez had two hits, including asolo home run, for the Cubs,who won for the first time infour Cactus League games.Walter Ibarra’s two-run singlein the seventh put them aheadto stay. John Baker also had apair of hits.

Braun walked in the firstinning, doubled to left-centerand scored in the fourth, andsingled in the fifth beforebeing lifted for a pinch-run-ner. Kentrail Davis scored ona two-out double by CarlosGomez, who picked up his sec-ond RBI of the spring.

Braun received his firstextended round of applausethis spring, with only a hint ofboos, when he stepped into thebox in the first inning.

He said he is still adjustingto right field after playing onthe left side of the diamondfor his entire baseball career(left field, third base andshortstop), but is fine with theswitch.

“I’ve said the whole timethat whatever’s in the team’sbest interest, that’s what I’lldo,” Braun said. “I think I’mathletic enough and haveenough arm strength to playright field.

“Seeing the game from a dif-ferent angle is truly a uniqueexperience. I’ve played secondbase three or four times andright field once (in an All-Stargame). It’s only been for aweek and a half, but I feel bet-ter now than in the beginning.The comfort level is improv-ing.”

STARTING TIME

Cubs: Non-roster RHP EricJokisch threw three hitlessinnings against a qualityMilwaukee lineup featuringBraun, Gomez and JeanSegura. Jokisch walked Braunin the first and Sean Halton inthe second, but 35 of his 55pitches were strikes.

The former Northwesternpitcher, now in his fifth sea-son of professional baseball,was 11-13 at Double-ATennessee last season. Hethrew a no-hitter on Aug. 6 atJacksonville.

Brewers: Marco Estradaallowed four hits in threeinnings during his secondstart of the spring, includinga solo homer to Baez in thefirst. Estrada struggled in thesecond, when he allowed threehits.

SEATTLE (AP) — Washington head coachChris Petersen will begin his first springpractices with the Huskies without quarter-back Cyler Miles, the backup to Keith Pricelast season.

Petersen suspended Miles and wide receiverDamore’ea Stringfellow indefinitely inFebruary for an undisclosed violation ofteam rules. Miles and Stringfellow remainpart of Washington’s roster but Petersen saidMonday there is nothing new on their statuswith the team.

“There has been no talk of those guys. Theyhaven’t been here. We’ve moved on and we’regoing. It’s not about those guys. It’s about theguys in the room,” Petersen said. “We’ll justlet that play out and see how it goes.”

Miles appeared to be the successor to thegraduating Price entering the offseason. He

served as Price’s backup last season, appear-ing in eight games with one start. Miles went37-of-61 for 418 yards with four touchdownsand two interceptions on the season.

Stringfellow made three starts whileappearing in 12 games as a freshman. Hecaught 20 passes for 259 yards and a touch-down.

Redshirt sophomore Jeff Lindquist and red-shirt freshman Troy Williams will be the onlyquarterbacks taking snaps as spring footballgets underway Tuesday.

“It’s great for them,” Petersen said. “Theyare going to get all kinds of reps but youwould probably like a little more depth as acoaching staff.”

Petersen is looking forward to his firstchance to work with his new team afterspending 13 seasons with Boise State as a

head coach and offensive coordinator.“I can’t wait to get out there and see this,”

Petersen said. “We haven’t been able to doany football. It’s all been weightlifting andrunning liners.”

Petersen said it will be a clean slate for theplayers in the program as they will have achance to leave their mark with the newcoaching staff.

“We don’t know anything. Come show us. Ithink that can be a really healthy, goodthing,” Petersen said.

Guard Dexter Charles (shoulder), widereceiver Kasen Williams (foot/leg) and walk-on receiver Taelon Parson will not take partin practices due to injuries. Tackle MicahHatchie, defensive end Cory Littleton, line-backer Scott Lawyer, safety Kevin King andrunning back Ryan McDaniel will be limited.

On Saturday, top scorer ShaynaKretschman contributed 22 points to the

final score of 64-46.Early foul trouble forced post players to

the bench for the second quarter andthough freshmen played very well theLady Panthers couldn’t overcome anonslaught of 3-pointers from Hulett.

A season of highs and lows ended withmeasurable success as the girls grewmentally and physically stronger as ateam.

“This season was a roller coaster of aride,” head coach Farrah Patterson said.“At times, it would have been really easyto throw their hands up in the air andwalk away, but they never even consid-ered it.”

Individual awards were also earned bymembers of the team.

Hannah Rockafellow and KayLeeStidham received All-ConferenceHonorable Mention awards. Kretschmanand Caitlin Klatt were named to the All-Conference Team.

Kretschman was also namedConference Player of the Year.

"We are going to give them a day off torecuperate,” Patterson said, "but Tuesdaywe will meet to set our goals for the off-season. My job now is to get them tobelieve that basketball players are notmade between Dec. 1 and March 7, theyare made March 4 through Nov. 30."

HOCKEY: Garstad suspended for one game next seasonFROM B2

Garstad will not be allowed to coach the first game ofnext season unless he is able to serve his suspension underTeam Wyoming, a state level team with which he alsoworks.

“This has never happened to me before,” Garstad said. “Idon’t coach that way and I don’t allow them to play dirty.Our team just got out of control. I did my best but in theend you can only say so much to them when they are thatfrustrated. It was a tough weekend.”

Star defensive player Jess Edens missed the tournamentdue to non-sport related medical issues, however he sat onthe bench and served as student coach.

Despite a rocky finish, the boys played a competitive andsuccessful season with several highlights including twoplayers being name All-State.

Edens and Logan Garstad were named All-State players.The head coaches of state contention teams each nominatedtheir worthy players and then met to vote but couldn’t vote

for their own nominations. Barton was nominated andalthough he was not chosen, in the opinion of his coachingstaff he should have been selected after his successful sea-son.

Aiden Burns, a senior, ended his high school careerstrong with consistently good games and an All-State nomi-nation as well.

“I’m really proud of those kids,” coach Garstad said. “It’sbeen five years since Sheridan was in a state A tournament.They worked really hard this year and we played in a toughdivision at the tournament. We didn’t win but they nevergave up and they represented Sheridan well.”

The team this year included five freshmen and they allplayed well this season and gained valuable experience atthe state tournament.

“They are good players, so we have a good program aheadof us,” Garstad said. “We also have good kids coming upfrom bantams next year so we should be a good team nextyear again.”

The Senators posted their first win inthree games and kept pace in the race forthe final playoff berth in the EasternConference. The Canucks suffered theirninth loss in 10 games and remained on thebubble in their quest for eighth place in theWestern Conference.

Clarke MacArthur, Erik Karlsson andColin Greening — into an empty-net with1:33 left in the game — also scored forOttawa.

The game was designed as a tribute tothe 1915 Stanley Cup final series betweenthe eventual-champion VancouverMillionaires and Ottawa Senators. TheCanucks wore maroon and cream-coloredMillionaires replica jerseys while theSenators sported duds similar to those oftheir predecessors.

Coaches wore varsity-styled jacketsrather than their usual suits.

The NHL’s outdoor series was forced togo indoors as the B.C. Place Stadium roof

was closed due to rain.

NEW YORK (AP) — Tuukka Rask made19 saves in a one-sided first period, anddefenseman Dougie Hamilton had a goaland two assists to lift the Boston Bruinsover the Rangers for their first season-sweep of New York in 31 years.

Rask was at his best early and finishedwith 39 saves. He outdueled New York net-minder Henrik Lundqvist, who stopped 27shots on his 32nd birthday but lost for thesecond straight day. The Bruins are 9-2-3 intheir last 14 games.

The Rangers fell one point behind sec-ond-place Philadelphia — which beat NewYork 4-2 on Saturday.

Gregory Campbell had two goals forBoston, while Milan Lucic, Jarome Iginlaand Carl Soderberg also scored.

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Stanford junior PatrickRodgers, the No. 1 ranked amateur in the world,said Monday that he will forgo his final year of eli-gibility to pursue a professional career after thisseason.

The two-time All-American said he decided tomake the announcement now because he didn’twant the growing speculation about his future tobecome a distraction for the team. The eighth-ranked Cardinal are hoping to make a deep run atthe NCAA championships in May before Rodgersleaves.

“I think we have an amazing team — the best thatwe’ve had in my three years here — and we have anopportunity to do something special,” Rodgers saidin a statement issued through the university. “Iwant to put all of the focus on trying to win anational championship for the team.”

Rodgers arrived at Stanford in 2011 as one of thenation’s top recruits from Avon, Ind., where he wontwo state championships. He has won seven tourna-ments in less than three full seasons at Stanford andalso helped the U.S. team win last year’s WalkerCup, the amateur version of the Ryder Cup.

Rodgers’ 70.55 average strokes per round are thebest in Stanford history, bettering Tiger Woods’70.96. His seven career wins are tied with JoelKribel for the second most in school history. OnlyWoods, with 11, has more.

“The numbers speak for themselves,” saidStanford men’s golf coach Conrad Ray. “He’s one ofthe best college golfers we’ve ever had. It’s bitter-sweet for me, because as a coach and a guy that val-ues his role on the team, we’re going to hate losinghim. Even if it was next year after graduation, we’dlove to take 10 guys like Patrick and see how we’ddo. His work ethic is insatiable.

“He has characteristics of world-class players. It’sa credit to him that he has taken a lot of well-thought time to analyze the situation he has in frontof him. To Patrick’s credit, he’s made all the rightsteps and moves to date. You have to trust in hisinstincts and direction he’s going with his game.”

Rodgers has some experience on the PGA Touralready.

He has played in four PGA Tour events, includingtaking the lead at the John Deere Classic last yearbefore finishing 15th. He said he plans to return toStanford at some point to finish his degree.

“Stanford has done so much more for me thangolf,” Rodgers said. “The immense social networkbetween alumni and students is just incredible.Both the golf program and academic environmenthave accelerated my progress beyond what I everthought possible and prepared me really well for lifeon the PGA Tour. I couldn’t have done what I havedone so far without the help of StanfordUniversity.”

LATEST NEWS ON NSAIDSAFETY

BY MICHAEL ROIZEN,M.D., AND MEHMET OZ,M.D.

When Texas legend RedAdair capped an oil-well fire,he detonated explosives todeprive the inferno of fuel.But when inflammationrages in your body, you maychoose a non-steroidal anti-

inflammatory drug, such asCOX-2 inhibitors (coxibs),ibuprofen or naproxen, toextinguish the pain. (Aspirinis also an NSAID, but moreabout it later.)

You may have heard howrisky almost all NSAIDs are,especially if you regularlytake high doses: They cancause gastrointestinal woesand cardiovascular complica-tions, such as heart attack.

The exception? We knowaspirin offers protection fromarterial diseases, includingheart attack and stroke, aswell as from nine types ofcancer. (You can help protectyour GI tract from by takingaspirin with a glass of warmwater before and after.) Butup to now, no one had figuredout the unique risks and ben-efits of the other NSAIDs. Soit's great news that, thanks tothree major metastudies,there's finally SOME credibleinfo about those other

NSAIDs' differing qualities. High-dose coxibs,

diclofenac and ibuprofen mayincrease heart attack orstroke risk by about 33 per-cent. Heart failure risk isdoubled with all non-aspirinNSAIDs. And a Food andDrug Administration panelevaluating NSAID risks voted16 to 9 against the suggestionthat naproxen causes fewercardiovascular problemsthan other NSAIDs.

So, if you're taking aNSAID, talk to your docabout the risk versus rewardof specific medications. Welike the pain-relieving powersof meditation and cognitivetherapy, weight loss andappropriate exercise(whether your pain is fromarthritis or another condi-tion), and taking 900 IU dailyof anti-inflammatory DHAomega-3.

PREGNANT MOM WANTSANOTHER PRINCESS, NOTA LITTLE FROG

DEAR ABBY: I'm a singlemother of a beautiful 2-year-old daughter. I have alwayspictured myself as a mom of

four little princesses. When Ifantasized about having chil-dren, I imagined fairy tales,ballet, cheerleading, dress-up,tea parties -- all girl things.

Now I'm expecting a littleboy and I feel heartbroken.When I learned my first wasa girl, I couldn't wait to meether. I bought her everythingpink and frilly. Here I ameight weeks from my duedate, and I have yet to buythis baby a single thing.When I look at baby boyitems, I become severelydepressed.

I'm no longer with thebaby's father. He and his fam-ily are very excited about thebaby, as he will be the onlymale grandchild for this gen-eration. The truth is, the

more I think about it, themore I am pulled in the direc-tion of signing over myparental rights to my ex. Atleast he really wants him,whereas I don't.

I know this sounds terribleand selfish. I feel like a mon-ster, but I can't help it. Myfamily is totally against it.My dad says I shouldn't evenallow my ex to visit our sonin the hospital after he'sborn. No one will listen tohow I feel. They keep sayingmy feelings will change afterthe baby is born, but I doubtit. I just need some guidance.-- UNDESERVING TITLE OFMOMMY

DEAR MOMMY: I don'tthink you are a monster. I DOthink you are not thinkingobjectively right now. Let mepoint out that life doesn'talways go the way we fanta-size. Because you imaginedthat you'd be the mother offour little princesses doesn'tguarantee that you WILL be.

I see no need to rush intosigning any papers right now,regardless of how eager yourboyfriend and his parents areabout the baby. There will betime for that later, if you stillwant to. For now, ask yourparents to help you selectsome baby boy outfits, andtell your doctor about all ofyour feelings because theymay be hormonal.

You might benefit fromsome professional counselingright now -- more than I canoffer you -- and I urge you toget it before doing anythingyou might later regret.

DEAR ABBY: I received arestaurant gift card fromsome friends. When I pre-sented it at a restaurant, itwas refused as "never havingbeen activated through pur-chase."

I called my friends to letthem know, thinking it was amistake on the part of therestaurant at the time it waspurchased. They said theywould come by and pick upthe card. I have heard noth-ing from them since, and Ihaven't written a thank-younote or made any furtherattempt to contact them.

Was I right in calling them?Do I now ignore the wholething? -- GIFT CARDDENIED

DEAR G.C.D.: You did noth-ing wrong in calling yourfriends to tell them what hap-pened. They may not havepicked it up because theywere embarrassed, orbecause they really neverintended to activate it. I don'tthink it's necessarily worthending a relationship over --IF you want to continue afriendship with people whosecredibility you question.

He'sworked in American TVwith roles on "Super FunNight," "Community" and"Portlandia," though hemay be better known for hiswork on the British series"Little Britain."

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Abargain isn't a bargain if it'san item you don't reallyneed. Be sensible withspending and don't get luredinto buying things with lit-tle or no value. Socializingmay need to be set aside tofocus on business matters.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20):Take the chip off of your

shoulder. You should trynot to become too emotionalif you feel someone isn'tpaying enough attention toyou. They may simply haveother things on their mind.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):Look, but don't touch. Shop-ping expeditions may yieldsome lucrative bargains,but don't open your walletunless an item is trulyworthwhile. Business andpleasure may mix in an un-expected twist.

CANCER (June 21-July22): Don't put the cart beforethe horse. Focus on takingcare of past obligations andresponsibilities before mov-ing forward with newprospects. There's nothingwrong with setting aside afew pennies for a rainy day.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It'sall in the details. Your keen

eye is attuned to your sur-roundings and you can ana-lyze and strategizesituations quickly and withease. You'll fare far better asa solo act than trying to be apart of the group today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):You can't take it with you.Being thrifty is commend-able, but once in a whileyou need to treat yourself tosome baubles if only to re-mind yourself of the pointof the exercise. Use a dis-cerning eye when sizing upromantic prospects.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.):Let cooler heads prevail.Someone may be looking tostart a confrontation over amisunderstanding, andwhile you may understand-ably get hot under the col-lar, try to clear the airrather than start a brawl.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.21): Nobody loves a dictator.While a no nonsense ap-proach may work in somebusiness circles, beingstrict or overbearing in apersonal relationship is arecipe for failure. Shareideas with your partner,don't make demands.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take a rain check.The latest social gatheringmay be great fun, but youneed to honor your respon-sibilities first. Don't neglectobligations for a few hoursof enjoyment. Be wary ofthose who are quick tomake promises.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19): Practice makes perfect.While a task may seem for-eign to you at first, by work-ing at it in isolation, it willbecome second nature more

quickly. Social activitiesrank low on your agendatoday.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18): It's your right to say"no." While giving a friend ahandout once in a while isfine, there comes a pointwhere her/she is simplytaking advantage of yourgood nature. Don't let some-one guilt trip you into bend-ing over backward forthem.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20):Keep the lines of communi-cation clear. A misunder-standing could spiral intosomething ugly dependingupon how calm and rationalthe parties involved behave.Try to get to the heart of theproblem before giving in toanger or irritation.

IF MARCH 5 IS YOURBIRTHDAY: You must

make hay while the sunshines, and shine it willduring the next 6-8 weeks.This month is an especiallygood time to interview fornew positions or to charmsomeone new. People willsee your best qualities andtrust you instantly, so getout in the public eye, im-press a prospective em-ployer, or find a soul mate.April may bring showers,but no one will rain on yourparade; this is perfectmonth to launch new enter-prises, make crucial deci-sions, or meet with aprofessional advisor. Sep-tember is another timewhen you're at your bestand can make wise choicesand fortunate changes.

SUCCESS REQUIRESTWO GOOD PLAYS

Wendell Johnson wasa psychologist, an actorand a proponent of Gen-eral Semantics. He said,"Always and never aretwo words you should al-ways remember never touse."

In bridge, you canrarely use the words al-ways and never. But"two" is relevant to thisdeal.

What is the outcome inthree no-trump afterWest leads his fourth-highest heart?

If you and your part-ner play regularly to-gether, discuss usingminor-suit transfers, al-though they come uprarely. Here, Northcould show game-goingvalues, long diamondsand a singleton (or void)in hearts. These trans-fers are described on mywebsite.

South starts withseven top tricks: twospades, two diamonds

and threeclubs. He willwork on dia-monds to get(at least) twomore winners.Yes, he could

lose four hearts and onediamond first -- but onlyif West makes two goodplays.

After East wins thefirst trick with his heartace, he returns the nine,the higher of two re-maining cards. Thisshould tell West thatSouth started with fourhearts (or five, but thenthe contract would beunbeatable). When try-ing to establish a suit inwhich an opponent willget one trick, give it tohim as quickly as possi-ble. So, West must duckthe second trick.

South will then cashhis diamond ace. Westneeds to realize thatEast has to win a trickfor another heart leadthrough South, and ifthat entry card is the di-amond jack, West must

unblock his queen. If hedoes not, declarer letsWest win the second dia-mond with his queenand the contract makeswith at least one over-trick. (If South has thediamond jack, West'splay is irrelevant.)

When West throwsaway his diamondqueen, the contract must

fail.


Hints from Heloise Heloise

Dear Heloise: Please do notlet other people make the samemistake we did. In June of 2010,we leased a new vehicle. Withthat came free satellite radiofor three months. After thethree months of FREE RADIO,the radio was automaticallyshut off. Since November of2010 until December of 2013, wewere billed $16 a month on ourcredit card.

We acknowledge that we didnot pay attention to our credit-card statement, as we noticedthis only when we paid off ourcard as a New Year's resolu-tion. When we called the radiocompany, it would not reim-burse us, and even the credit-card company would go backonly three months to help usout. -- M.O. in New York

A good consumer warning!Remember to check credit-cardstatements every month. Youhave a much better chance ofdisputing charges if you noticethem right away. -- Heloise

LEAVE NOTEDear Heloise: I travel often

with my two daughters fordance competitions requiringovernight stays in hotels. Ho-tels typically provide three tofour bath towels, which simplyare not enough for three fe-males with long hair, who re-quire two towels apiece.

Here is my hint:Leave a note with asmall gratuity forhousekeeping. Ieven specificallyask, in the note, forthe exact amount of

towels I would like to be left inthe room. I have never beendisappointed, and my requestshave always been taken care of.-- Linda W., via email

Linda, you also can callhousekeeping and ask for extratowels as soon as you arrive.Plus, please do always tiphousekeeping -- most timesthey are left out, and they do avery, very hard job! -- Heloise

PRESCRIPTION LIDSDear Readers: Recently, I

shared information about thedifficulty of recycling prescrip-tion bottles. At Heloise Central,we started brainstorming allthe uses for these bottles andwanted to give some hints tohelp keep these bottles out ofthe trash:

* Keep one in the car to holdspare change.

* When traveling, use to holdcotton balls or cotton swabs.

* Pack with thread, needlesand safety pins for an emer-gency sewing kit.

Readers, now it's your turn.Let us know how you reusethese bottles. -- Heloise

P.S.: You can ask your phar-macist for "not child resistant"caps. These caps can be takenoff, turned over and reattachedto the same bottle. Now the bot-tle can be opened with a simpleturn instead of having to pressdown and turn. ONLY do thisin households without chil-dren.

DOG GROOMINGDear Heloise: I have come up

with a great use for old rubberkitchen gloves.

When my long-haired, yellowLabrador comes outside withme, I put on old rubber glovesto give him a thorough rub-down. The dog hair comes off insheets! He loves it because it isa great petting session. Thisworks on cats, also. -- Joan M.in California

Send a money-saving or time-saving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it toHeloise(at)Heloise.com. I can'tanswer your letter personallybut will use the best hints re-ceived in my column.

Chavez Jr. unanimously outpointed VeraSAN ANTONIO (AP) — Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. unani-

mously outpointed Bryan Vera in a super middleweightrematch Saturday night at the Alamodome, reboundingfrom perhaps the worst performance of his career.

Chavez (48-1-1) had winning scores of 117-110, 117-110and 114-113.

“It was a better fight this time,” said Chavez, whoseboxing great father sat ringside. “I won clearly. I threwa lot more punches. For sure I proved I’m a better fight-er than Vera.”

In September in Carson, Calif., the Mexican fighterstruggled while outpointing Vera in a disputed unani-mous decision. Chavez failed to make weight, forfeiteda six-figure portion of his purse and appeared to allowVera to win the later rounds.

This time, Chavez consistently scored with a big over-hand right, his first landing squarely while Vera (23-8)was on the ropes in the third round in the non-titlefight. Chavez capped it off with a jarring straight rightin the middle of the ring in the 10th.

Vera came out with two strong rounds to begin the

fight, before Chavez hammered him with the first right.But he complained he hurt his left hand in the third orfourth round.

“You can see it’s swollen, but I’m not making noexcuses,” Vera said. “(I was) just being lazy and thefight got away from me. I just got hit too much.”

Appearing to have a safe lead, Chavez mostly circledthe ring and danced in the final round. Vera had apoint taken away in the eighth when, while on theropes, the Texan pulled down on Chavez from behindhis head.

“When Bryan abandoned his jab we had to fightChavez’s fight,” said Ronnie Shieldss, Vera’s trainer.

Chavez appears to have revived his career and likelyis in line for a title shot. It was his second fight in thepast 17 months after a marijuana suspension in 2013and a DUI in 2012.

Promoter Bob Arum said he’s interested in setting upChavez for a title fight by the fall against either JeanPascal or Gennady Golovkin, with possibly anothernon pay-per-view fight before then.

Apple dials up effort tomeld iPhone with cars

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Apple is accelerating the raceto make smartphone applications easier and safer to use incars.

Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo are previewing Apple’siPhone technology for cars this week at an auto show inGeneva.

The partnerships give Apple an early lead over Google’sloosely knit family of Android phones in a duel to makemobile applications more accessible while drivers arebehind the wheel. Apple’s iOS mobile software andGoogle’s Android operating system power most of thesmartphones in the world.

Just two months ago, Google Inc. announced it is work-ing with several major automakers to turn Android phonesinto an essential part of cars. Google hopes to finish workon its system for tethering Android phones to cars by theend of this year.

Apple Inc. announced its automobile ambitions ninemonths ago when it unveiled its “iOS in the Car” initiative— a reference to the operating system that powers theiPhone and iPad.

Now that the idea is moving closer to reality, Apple isrenaming the technology “CarPlay.”

The system announced Monday enables iPhones to pluginto cars so drivers can call up maps, make calls andrequest music with voice commands or a touch on a vehi-cle’s dashboard screen.

By making smartphones work more seamlessly withautomobiles, both Apple and Google are hoping to immersetheir services even deeper into peoples’ lives. In doing so,the companies expect to make money by selling advertis-ing, applications and upgrades on smartphones that willbecome even more indispensable.

“IPhone users always want their content at their finger-tips and CarPlay lets drivers use their iPhone in the carwith minimized distraction,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’svice president of iPhone and iOS product marketing.

Automakers are hoping vehicles that are compatible withthe top-selling smartphones will be easier to sell to con-sumers who can’t fathom living without the devices.

Cars of recent vintage increasingly feature electronicsdesigned to cater to drivers’ high-tech desires, but thosesystems still haven’t attracted a widespread following.That has led more automakers to conclude that it makessense to work directly with technology companies such asApple and Google to turn their cars into smartphone exten-sions.

CarPlay requires Apple’s latest mobile software, iOS 7,and an iPhone 5, 5C or 5S.

Ferrari is previewing CarPlay on its four-wheel-drive FFmodel. Volvo plans to feature the iPhone system in itsredesigned Volvo XC90 sports utility vehicle. Mercedes-Benz isn’t disclosing which models will get CarPlay, butexpects both its S-Class large sedan and C-Class midsizesedan should be compatible with the system.

A long list of other automakers, including GeneralMotors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and Honda, also are drawingup plans for CarPlay, according to Apple.

So far, GM, Honda, Hyundai and Audi have signed up forGoogle’s “Open Automotive Alliance” for Android.

GM and Honda declined to comment on their CarPlayplans. Ford said it will deploy CarPlay as one of severaloptions for making its cars work more smoothly withsmartphones. The automaker already features a voice-con-trol system called “Sync” made by Microsoft Corp. in someof its cars.

Andy Murray saysback feeling better

after surgeryNEW YORK (AP) — Andy Murray considers last

week’s tournament in Acapulco a victory of sortseven though he was upset in the semifinals.

He played four matches in four days, includingthree three-setters and some late-night finishes,without his surgically repaired back botheringhim.

“I woke up the next morning feeling good for thefirst time since the surgery,” Murray said Monday.

He had a minor procedure in September to allevi-ate nagging pain and missed four months. He lostto Roger Federer in the quarterfinals at theAustralian Open, then fell to Grigor Dimitrov onFriday in Mexico.

On Monday night, he can focus on entertainingthe crowd when he faces friend and rival NovakDjokovic in an exhibition at Madison SquareGarden. The two 26-year-olds have been playingeach other since they were 11, with some epicGrand Slam matches in recent years.

They met in three major finals in 10 months.Murray became the first British man in 76 years towin a Grand Slam title when he outlasted Djokovicin five sets in the 2012 U.S. Open. Djokovic beatMurray to win the 2013 Australian Open. ThenMurray ended another drought for his country, thefirst British men’s champion at Wimbledon since1936, defeating Djokovic there last year.

There was also a five-set marathon between thetwo, won by Djokovic, in the 2012 Aussie semifi-nals.

While 2013 was dominated by Murray, Djokovicand Rafael Nadal, this year is off to an intriguingstart. Stanislas Wawrinka won the season’s firstGrand Slam title Down Under, the first man out-side the so-called Big Four to capture a majorchampionship since 2009. And the fourth memberof that group, Roger Federer, is showing signs of aresurgence, beating Djokovic in Dubai on Friday.

“It’s a very interesting time for men’s tennis atthis moment,” Djokovic said. “It’s just the begin-ning of the season, so it’s still too early to predict,but there’s a bigger group of players who can winGrand Slams.”
