Polo, tailgate give rodeo patrons time to rest

BIG HORN — The polo fields at the Big Horn Equestrian Center carry a sense of relaxation on any given Sunday but prove exceptionally relaxing on the Sunday following rodeo week. Dedicated patrons use the Sheridan WYO Rodeo polo games and tailgate party as a time to wind down.

“At the end of the week, everyone comes down here to unwind, rest a little bit, and enjoy the polo,” Big Horn native Hugh Gustin said.

As numerous states and countries are represented in the arena throughout rodeo week, Sunday’s polo games and tailgate also host-ed people from near and far.

Bob King team roping event

concludes rodeo

SHERIDAN — Chris Navarro has an uncommon addiction — not for a substance, but rather for team roping.

Navarro sated his addiction for at least a day when he was one of nearly 600 competi-tors in the Bob King Memorial Team Roping Sunday at the Sheridan County Fairgrounds.

“Any time you mix joy and adrenaline, it’s just fun,” Navarro said. “A lot of my friends go, ‘Why would you take up a sport like team roping?’ If I could quit, I would … It’s like a drug.”

The 16th annual team roping event con-cluded the Sheridan WYO Rodeo. It is part of the National Team Roping tour, which features competitions in Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, Texas, Iowa and Arizona.

Navarro, who splits his time living between Casper and Sedona, Arizona, is a “header,” meaning he ropes the steer’s horns, head or neck and tries to slow the steer down and bring it in position for his partner, the “heel-er,” to rope both of the steer’s rear legs.

Most competitors chose one of their roping partners and had the other one randomly drawn with the hopes of potentially evening the playing field. Tye Reed and Ronnie D. Ward won the three-steer Century competi-tion with a total time of 32.03 seconds, split-ting $3,280 in earnings. Joe Carl and Colten Fisher won a Megabucks four-steer compe-tition with four successes in 36.21 seconds. They divided $3,620 in earnings.

Eric Oliver had a successful day as well. Oliver hails from Douglas and won a different Megabucks four-steer competition Sunday with his partner Scott Leach, who lives in Glendo. The victory resulted in earnings of about $2,000 for both Oliver and Leach.

Four-steer means the teams must success-fully rope a steer in each round to advance and after four rounds, the team with the low-est total time wins. Oliver and Leach totaled 38.37 seconds in four rounds.

SEE TEAM ROPE, PAGE 3Former city planning director

takes over as SEEDA administrator

SHERIDAN — Former city planning director Robert Briggs will begin as the planning director for the Northern Wyoming Community College District this week, primarily to act as an administrator for the Sheridan Economic and Educational Development Authority.

Briggs left Sheridan after 13 years as the city’s plan-ning director to take over

as the planning director in Cheyenne last year.

Sheridan College Vice President for Administration and Chief Financial Officer Cheryl Heath said the planning director is a new position in SEEDA that was created because the orga-nization’s growth in recent years was placing increased demands on college staff.

“The background Robert already has, not only as plan-ning director, but writing grants and working for the city of Sheridan previously,

will let him really hit the ground running,” Heath said.

“He knows the players and the folks he’ll be working with and he’s been

involved with these econom-ic development associations already.”

Heath said the planning director will handle many of the day-to-day operations of SEEDA projects as well as look at business attraction

to the area and conduct eco-nomic and financial analysis of potential SEEDA projects.

Sheridan College and the city will jointly fund Brigg’s salary.

SEEDA is a joint pow-ers board operated by the Northern Wyoming Community College District and city of Sheridan for the purpose of purchasing and developing property to pro-mote economic development.

POLO : Included two amateur matchesFROM 1

“It’s a nice way to wrap up the week is to come out here,” Georgia Lanham, a Sheridan resident, said. “You can meet all kinds of people, and the draw for me is the cowboy polo.”

Lanham appreciates and participated in several of the week’s events, including the parade, powwow and polo.

For Lanham, strangers become friends at the BHEC. For example, as she passed by a polo player saddling up his horse, she waved and he warmly waved back. The two were strangers, yet the inter-action made Lanham feel like they had been longtime friends.

“It’s so friendly and nice and I think part of it is being in the Sheridan commu-nity,” Lanham said. “That’s what exem-plifies our community as a whole. You don’t have to be a stranger.”

On the other hand, the week sometimes involves visits with old friends.

Gustin now hails from Butler, Missouri, but graduated from Big Horn High School.

For the past 10 years, Gustin has

brought his family back to Sheridan County for rodeo week. The family pur-chased season tickets and attend the rodeo each night while also fitting in driving for the parade and grabbing a bite at the pancake breakfast. Like many, Gustin and his friends appreciate the relaxed atmosphere the polo fields pro-vide before having to go back to work or travel back home Monday.

“(We) just come out, relax, enjoy the mountains and scenery,” Gustin said. “It’s beautiful here.”

Sunday’s polo events include two amateur polo matches, two cowboy polo competitions between two teams made up of local ranchers and introductions for the newly-crowned rodeo royalty for their upcoming reigning year. Those events are supplemented by food vendors, drinks and color commentary by one or two announcers.

Whether traveling 5 miles or 500, the Sheridan WYO Rodeo’s polo games, cow-boy polo and tailgate party allow bustling rodeo week participants to stop, relax and enjoy good company surrounded by mountains and green grass.

US retail sales rise at a healthy 0.5 percentWASHINGTON (AP) —

U.S. retail sales rose at a solid pace last month despite higher prices and modest wage gains, a sign of

underlying consumer opti-mism.

The Commerce Department said Monday that sales at retailers and restaurants increased 0.5 percent in June, following a big 1.3 percent gain the pre-vious month. May’s figure was revised sharply higher from an initial estimate of 0.8 percent.

Americans are confident about the economic outlook,

with the unemployment rate near an 18 year-low and the economy acceler-ating after a sluggish first quarter. Retail sales rose 6.6 percent from a year earli-er, the fastest annual pace in five years. Still, some of the spending increases, such as gas station sales, simply reflect higher prices. Excluding auto dealers and gas stations, sales rose 0.3 percent in June.

TEAM ROPE : Many team ropers compete for decades despite age, previous injuriesFROM 1

Oliver grew up around horses and has been team roping for around 35 years. He previously rode bulls but gave it up awhile ago and now focuses exclusively on team roping, which he com-petes in almost year-round.

Similarly, Navarro has roped for about 30 years and competes almost every weekend. Navarro owned his first horse at age 12 and competed on the Casper College rodeo team in the 1970s. Navarro’s first passion was bull riding, but after competing as a professional for less than a year, he couldn’t make an adequate living and was always injured. In his career, Navarro has broken 17 bones, had five concus-sions, dislocated both shoul-ders and had his front teeth knocked out.

He didn’t pick up team roping until about a decade after giving up bull riding. In the intervening years, Navarro mainly worked in the oil fields. He also began sculpting around that time and has a few works of art in Sheridan and at Tongue River schools. He has

sculpted many rodeo-related works of art as well.

Team roping is different than most rodeo events in that people can compete for decades, unlike other events like bull riding and bare-back riding that are dom-inated by people in their 20s. Currently 62 years old, Navarro plans to compete until his body won’t allow him. He was in a serious accident about four years ago — not during team rop-ing — and broke his collar-bone, shoulder blade, seven ribs and had a collapsed lung.

Despite the injuries, Navarro never considered quitting.

“I got on my horse three months later,” he said.

He has also broken fin-gers and hands in the past, which adversely affects his sculpting business, but team roping is too enjoyable to give up.

Navarro equated team roping to gambling because of the fairly high costs and less-than-ideal payoff. Navarro isn’t in it for the money, however. The pure adrenaline and excitement keep him coming back and wanting more.

WYOMING TRIBUNE EAGLE

VIA WYOMING NEWS EXCHANGE

CHEYENNE — State edu-cation officials are trying to clarify high school graduation requirements — again.

The State Board of Education last week adopted new Chapter 31 rules for graduation require-ments. The rules now go to the governor’s office for approval.

But the board previously has approved the rules at least twice, only to have Gov. Matt Mead send them back unsigned.

At the board meeting, Trustee Sue Belish injected a bit of humor as she moved to approve the rules.

“I move that the State Board of Education adopt the Chapter 31 rules — finally — after 27 tries,” she said.

Julie Magee, division direc-tor of accountability for the Wyoming Department of Education, said she is reason-ably confident Mead will sign the rules this time around.

“I do think we are much closer to the mark than we were, and I don’t have a reason to think they would not be signed,” she said.

Magee said the board last approved revised rules in November 2013. That revision removed all references to the “body of evidence” from the rules.

Magee said the “body of evi-dence” was a system educators used to measure student pro-ficiency, but the Legislature ended that requirement in 2013.

She said in the years since, the State Board of Education and Department of Education have been revising the rules to ensure the graduation requirements are uniform across the state, but still allow districts flexibility for their own requirements.

“Various attempts have been made to promulgate these rules, and each time they were met with resistance from one entity or another,” Magee said.

“The feeling was maybe there wasn’t quite enough detail, or the details that were included were not sufficient to really explain what it is students need to do or what standards they need to be able to meet.”

In late 2017, the Legislature’s Joint Education Interim Committee appointed Mike O’Donnell, special assistant attorney general, to help the Department of Education com-plete a revision of the rules, she said.

“So, we started with the 2013 Chapter 31 rules and rewrote them from scratch,” Magee explained.

The department used a com-

mittee to rewrite the rules. It included representatives from the State Board of Education, the Wyoming Curriculum Directors Association, the Wyoming Department of Education, the Attorney General’s Office and the Governor’s Office, Magee said.

“Throughout those meetings, and in between those meetings, I was taking feedback from the group, and I rewrote the rules,” she said.

Each time Magee revised the rules, she sent them back to the committee for further feedback before revising the rules again.

She presented the revised rules to the state board in April, and they voted to promulgate the rules. The governor’s office allowed the promulgation, and then the rules went out for a 45-day public comment period.

The Department of Education received no comments from the public during that period, Magee said.

“I think part of that was because there was so much stakeholder input during the process of writing the rules that there was no surprise to anybody when those rules were released for public comment. I think people were pretty well informed,” Magee said.

Now that the board has once again voted to adopt the rules, they go back to the Governor’s Office once again for a 75-day review.

Magee said the rules have three main sections: the state high school graduation require-ments, the district assessment system, and state board and district collaboration on district requirements.

She explained that the state high school graduation require-ments include the core require-ments in math, English, science and social studies. The district assessment explains how dis-tricts can show student profi-ciency in all subjects, including those that are not required by the state. The collaboration por-tion explains how districts can collaborate with the state board to ensure their added require-ments meet state laws.

“Let’s say a school district used to have a requirement that you have to take one year of P.E. to graduate, and they decide they’re going to extend that to two years or reduce that to a semester. They communi-cate those changes to the state board,” Magee said.

Department of Education offi-cials will file the rules Monday, and Mead will have 75 days to decide whether to sign this new version or send the State Board of Education back to the start - again.

Nuclear arms race is an expected topic for Trump talksWASHINGTON (AP) —

President Donald Trump seems of two minds on nuclear weapons.

He muses about eliminating them. But he’s also called for a U.S. buildup and bragged about his nuclear “button.”

How these seemingly competing instincts will play out in his talks

with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday could profound-ly affect the direction of U.S. defense policy. Likely to come up at the summit in Helsinki are U.S. allegations that Russia is violat-ing a Cold War-era nuclear arms treaty. The leaders also could discuss a possible extension of the

New Start treaty, which expires in three years. That 2010 treaty limits each country to 1,550 stra-tegic nuclear warheads.

To date, the Trump administra-tion has shown little interest in negotiating further reductions in American and Russian strategic nuclear weapons.

Missing Jackson

motorcyclist found dead

JACKSON (WNE) — The body of a Jackson man who became the subject of a multi-state search was found Thursday night near Pine Creek Pass, about 4 miles west of Victor, Idaho.

Sam Collins, 63, was reported missing Monday after he didn’t return home from a motorcycle ride to Bear Lake, Idaho.

Authorities in Bear Lake and Teton County began an expansive search of the highways where they thought Collins had been riding. That turned up surveil-lance video that showed Collins at a gas station at 4:30 p.m. Monday in Afton.

The search was then narrowed to Lincoln County highways, Teton Pass and Pine Creek Pass in Idaho, where Collins and his wrecked motorcycle were discov-ered.

Air Idaho spotted the wreck-age at 5:50 p.m. Thursday near mile marker 11, near the Teton County, Idaho, line.

Collins was traveling north-bound on a 2017 KTM motorcy-cle when he failed to negotiate a curve and went off the right shoulder and overturned, accord-ing to Idaho State Police.

“Collins succumbed to his inju-ries at the time of the crash,” a press release said.

Collins was wearing a helmet and riding gear, police said.

Cheyenne jail near

capacity as Frontier

Days nears CHEYENNE (WNE) — Laramie

County’s jail was nearing capac-ity Friday, just a week before thousands of people flock to the area for Cheyenne Frontier Days.

As of Friday afternoon, about 300 people were housed in the Laramie County jail, with about 16 to be released that after-noon through court orders and

several more to be picked up by the Wyoming Department of Corrections, according to Detention Division Security Lt. Shawn Olsen.

Jail capacity usually sits at about 334 people, he said. “(Having all 334) would be pretty tight.”

Frontier Days almost certain-ly will mark an increase in the number of people being arrested by law enforcement, but it doesn’t necessarily mean there will be a significant amount of intakes at the jail.

“Every year is different; we never know what we’re going to get,” Olsen said. “The last few years have been normal business, a little heavier than usual.”

People stay in jail for a number of reasons.

They may be serving time on a misdemeanor offense, unable to post a bond set by a judge or awaiting transport to a Wyoming Department of Corrections facil-ity.

BRIGGS : Next meeting Tuesday

FROM 1

Currently, SEEDA is involved with the construction of Weatherby’s manufacturing facility and the expansion of Vacutech’s facility in Sheridan’s High-Tech Park.

Briggs said his immediate role will be to manage SEEDA’s involvement in those large projects, but in the long term he will help the authority develop forward-looking goals.

“I’ll be working closely with the college and city representatives [on the SEEDA board] to talk about the long-term strategy for SEEDA and where does it go next now that it’s starting to see an increase in the resources available to it,” Briggs said. “How do we continue to foster that interaction between education opportunities and economic devel-opment, which is really SEEDA’s mandate?”

He highlighted the development of advanced manufacturing courses at Sheridan College to allow for the training of a local workforce compa-nies like Weatherby and Vacutech can use as one of the projects that demonstrates SEEDA’s potential.

“That shows how we can influence the workforce pipeline to make sure that it meets the needs of both the existing employers in the commu-nity and the region, but also look for opportunities to move into new areas of workforce training and growth,” Briggs said.

As the local workforce grows, how-ever, Sheridan and the surround-ing areas will need to find ways to develop affordable housing that can accommodate that growth. Briggs said he will also be involved with exploring ways to encourage more affordable housing in the communi-ty.

“It doesn’t make sense to attempt to help grow a workforce when they won’t be able to remain in the community, or even enter the com-munity, without adequate housing,” Briggs said.

Briggs’ first day was Monday and Heath said his plate is already full.

“I went into his calendar to add some orientation things we do for new employees and it’s already filled up with meetings,” Heath said. “That was great to see.”

SEEDA will hold its next meeting Tuesday morning at the Whitney Academic Center.

FROM 3

Olsen said while it’s hard to pin down why numbers have remained steadily high recently, drug offenses have been especially prevalent.

“(Local law enforcement) has been averaging about 10 arrests a night, which is a lot,” he said.

“It’s a lot more drugs involved, and those people generally sit in jail for a little bit longer.”

If the jail gets filled to capacity, deputies will transport people to jails around the state while Laramie County foots the bill.

Claims could be submitted for damage done by

trophy game PINEDALE (WNE) — An amend-

ed state regulation could add gray wolves to the list of wildlife that cause property damages that own-ers could claim for compensation by the state.

Wyoming Game and Fish posted the draft version of Chapter 28 reg-ulation “Governing Big or Trophy Game Animals, Game Bird or Gray Wolf Damage Claims” on July 9.

Trophy game animals are black bears, grizzly bears or mountain lions – or gray wolves in the state’s trophy-game areas.

The newly edited regulation removes the word “landowner” and inserts “claimant” to include those leasing private land or adjacent to it.

People who seek compensation for damages to livestock, feed, crops and other property caused by big game and game birds – and possibly trophy game and gray wolves if the regulation is approved – must allow hunting the species on the property to be eligible.

For example, a claimant cannot apply for compensation for elk dam-ages to haystacks without allowing elk hunting in season at no charge, to the number estimated to have caused the damages. The damages must be confirmed and verified by Game and Fish as “more likely than not” that a particular animal caused them.

Indiana gym in 1986

‘Hoosiers’ film needs repairsKNIGHTSTOWN, Ind. (AP)

— A historic gym in eastern Indiana that was featured in the 1986 basketball film “Hoosiers” needs a new roof, brick repairs and new windows.

The Hoosier Gym, a rustic, 1920s-era structure in the farm-ing town of Knightstown, served as a functioning gym until the mid-1960s, WISH-TV reported.

It’s now used as a community center where kids play basket-ball, said Bob Garner, events coordinator at the gym. The facility serves 70,000 people a year, including visitors from foreign countries, he said.

Many upgrades are needed to keep the gym in pristine condi-tion, Garner said.

“We need a new roof, we need tuck pointing of the bricks outside, and we need new win-dows,” he said. “If anything happened to that roof, this gym would be gone.”

Gym officials might pursue a grant from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs.

“Basically the maximum would be $500,000,” said Dr. Neil Shaneyfelt, who is the president of the board of directors. “That sounds like a lot of money, but an old building like this to put on a roof, replace 31 windows, and point and tuck the brick. And we have to match 20 per-cent of that.”

The gym served as the home of the Hickory Huskers in “Hoosiers,” which starred Gene Hackman and Dennis Hopper.

Review: Sacha Baron Cohen back with old style, same results

NEW YORK (AP) — The provocateur Sacha Baron Cohen has rebooted his ambush chat show and before any judgment is made about the wisdom of that decision, you have to admire the sheer perseverance of not only the host but also his so-called guests.

Fifteen years after the British come-dian leapt to America as an unknown cultural trip-wire to punk everyone from Donald Trump to Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, he’s still befuddling folks who should really know better.

The first episode of Showtime’s “Who Is America?” somehow snared former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders and former Republican senator Trent Lott, neither apparently too savvy to sit opposite a dubious dude who is either spectacularly ill-informed or perfectly like-minded.

The first episode — the only one Showtime allowed journalists to talk about — follows Baron Cohen’s tested formula: Create a bunch of off-the-wall characters with prosthetics and accents then set them loose on the unsuspecting public, either wing-tipped or rednecked. Truth be told, the second episode of “Who Is America?” is better than the first, with the upcoming humiliations of some public figures absolutely astounding.

On “Da Ali G Show” from 2000-2004, Baron Cohen played a dim, wannabe gangster; an anti-Semitic correspon-dent from Kazakhstan; and a gay Austrian reporter. This time, his char-acters include a far right-wing moron; a gung-ho Israeli anti-terrorism teach-er; an ultra-liberal who cycles around in a ponytail and an NPR T-shirt; and an ex-con skinhead with a biker beard.

Over two episodes, the show proves uneven — best when it toys with those in power and less so when it goes for a cheap laugh from the frivolous. A trip by his left-wing character to a fancy

candlelit dinner with staunch con-servatives in South Carolina felt flat in comparison to the sheer mischief Baron Cohen gets into as the Israeli character when trying to get gun-rights advocates to endorse his notion of arming preschoolers.

That’s always been the genius of Baron Cohen’s format: seeing how far he can coax someone down the rabbit hole. This time, he gets grown, intelligent — and sometimes elected — men to back a fictional program called Kindergardians, in which kids as young as 4 are trained to shoot guns decorated as stuffed animals (like the “Uzi-corn” or the “Dino-gun”).

So we get the sight of Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, former Rep. Joe Walsh and the twin gun rights activists Larry Pratt, of Gun Owners of America, and Philip Van Cleave, of the Virginia Citizens Defense League, duped into parroting prepared text on a tele-prompter that “first-graders make good first-grenaders” and aiming a gun at the screen while singing a twisted version of the nursery song, namely “Head, Shoulders, Not the Toes, Not the Toes.”

Showtime has been tight-lipped about the seven-episode series, to the point of asking journalists who see the show to sign non-disclosure agree-ments and place their phones in locked cases. Security guards scanned the room with night-vision goggles during a recent screening. (Showtime might embrace free speech but they’re happy to limit it, too.) Yet in a reminder that even the best laid corporate plans unravel, the network’s own promo-tional department has revealed that former Vice President Dick Cheney features in a future episode, somehow convinced to add his friendly auto-graph to a jug used for waterboarding. And we know Sarah Palin, the former vice-presidential candidate, admits that she too was duped, saying on Facebook she had fallen victim.

Today’s Highlight in History:

On July 16, 1945, the United States exploded its first experimental atom-ic bomb in the desert of Alamogordo, New Mexico; the same day, the heavy cruiser USS Indianapolis left Mare Island Naval Shipyard in California on a secret mission to deliver atomic bomb com-ponents to Tinian Island in the Marianas.

On this date:In 1790, a site along the

Potomac River was designat-ed the permanent seat of the United States government; the area became Washington, D.C.

In 1862, Flag Officer David G. Farragut became the first rear admiral in the United States Navy.

In 1935, the first parking meters were installed in the United States, in Oklahoma City.

In 1951, the novel “The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger was first published by Little, Brown and Co.

In 1957, Marine Corps Maj. John Glenn set a transconti-nental speed record by flying a Vought F8U Crusader jet from California to New York in 3 hours, 23 minutes and 8.4 seconds.

In 1964, as he accepted the Republican presidential nomination in San Francisco, Barry M. Goldwater declared that “extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice” and that “moderation in the pursuit of justice is no vir-tue.”

In 1969, Apollo 11 blasted off from Cape Kennedy on the first manned mission to the surface of the moon.

In 1973, during the Senate Watergate hearings, former White House aide Alexander P. Butterfield publicly revealed the existence of President Richard Nixon’s secret taping system.

In 1980, former California Gov. Ronald Reagan won the Republican presidential nom-ination at the party’s conven-tion in Detroit.

In 1981, singer Harry Chapin was killed when his car was struck by a trac-tor-trailer on New York’s Long Island Expressway.

In 2002, the Irish Republican Army issued an unprecedented apology for the deaths of “noncombatants” over 30 years of violence in Northern Ireland.

Ten years ago: Republican John McCain addressed the annual convention of the NAACP, telling the civil rights group in Cincinnati he would expand education opportunities, partly through vouchers for low-income children to attend private schools. Israel freed notori-ous Lebanese militant Samir Kantar and four others after Hezbollah guerrillas handed over the bodies of two Israeli soldiers.

Five years ago: Egypt’s interim leader, Adly Mansour, swore in a Cabinet that included women and Christians but no Islamists as the military-backed admin-istration moved swiftly to formalize the new political order. Twenty-three children, between the ages of 5 and 12, were fatally poisoned by pes-ticide-contaminated lunches served at a school in eastern India. The American League beat the National League 3-0 in the All-Star Game.

One year ago: Ten peo-ple died at a popular swim-ming hole in Arizona’s Tonto National Forest after a rainstorm unleashed a flash flood. Roger Federer won a record-breaking 8th Wimbledon title, beating Marin Cilic 6-3, 6-1, 6-4.

Thought for Today: “If sentiment doesn’t ultimately make fibbers of some people, their natural abominable memories almost certainly will.” — J.D. Salinger (1919-2010).

Series of meetings scheduled to

discuss proposed fee increasesSHERIDAN — A series of public meetings is

scheduled at various locations in Wyoming to take public comment on a proposed Wyoming Division of State Parks, Historic Sites and Trails fee increase.

A meeting will take place in Sheridan Wednesday from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Sheridan County Fulmer Public Library at 335 W. Alger St.

Additional meetings will take place in Gillette, Cody, Wheatland and Casper. Other meetings are currently in the planning stages and will be announced later.

New legislation in 2017 required Wyo Parks to set its fees in rules and allowed for fee increases within maximum amounts set by law. In 2017, Wyo Parks established rules to set fees but did not raise entrance and camping fees.

Last year, Wyo Parks conducted a series of visi-tor surveys to gather opinions regarding existing fees, the possibility of an increase and how much of an increase was supported.

More than 1,800 responses were tabulated. Of those, 80 percent of respondents were in support of a system-wide increase of daily use fees, 77 percent supported a system-wide increase of daily camping fees, 73 percent were in support of system-wide increase of annual daily use permit fees and 70 per-cent supported a system-wide increase of annual camping permit fees.

Wyo Parks also looked at similar state park sys-tems in the region and found that Wyoming’s fees are among the lowest in the region.

Some of the proposed fee changes include:• The fees for “off season” (Oct. 1 through April

30) will not change from existing fee amounts, how-ever, fees during “peak season” (May 1 through Sept. 30) will increase as follows:

• Residents will see a $2 a day use fee increase and a $3 camping fee increase. They will also see a $7 increase for the purchase of an annual day use permit and a $10 increase for an annual camping permit. Additional annual day use and camping permits will increase by $5 and $8 respectively.

• Non-residents will see a $3 day use fee increase and a $5 camping fee increase. They will also see a $17 increase for the purchase of an annual day use permit. Non-residents will continue to be ineligible for annual camping permits. Additional annual day use permits will increase by $14.

• The daily fee for use of a site with electricity will increase by $5.

• Historic site fees will increase by $1 per adult and the amount charged for tour buses will

increase by $2 per adult. Children will continue to enjoy free entrance.

People wishing to obtain a copy of the pro-posed rules can do so by contacting State Parks Headquarters at 2301 Central Avenue, Barrett Building, 4th Floor, Cheyenne, WY 82002, attn.: Christie Christensen; by calling (307) 777-7496; via email at [email protected] or by finding it via the Secretary of State’s website.

Hamilton, Ontario

Retired NHL goaltender Ray Emery, who helped the Ottawa Senators reach the final in 2007 and won the Stanley Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2013, drowned in his hometown of Hamilton, Ontario. He was 35.

Hamilton Police said Emery was identified as the victim of a swimming accident in the harbor Sunday morning.

Staff sergeant Paul Evans said police received a call just after 6 a.m. that an adult swimmer did not surface and that the Niagara Police assisted in the recovery effort.

Emery’s body was recov-ered just before 3 p.m. Sunday. Hamilton Police said a cause of death would be confirmed after a post-mortem.

Nicknamed “Razor” for his aggressive style, Emery played parts of 11 seasons with the Ottawa Senators, Philadelphia Flyers, Chicago Blackhawks and

Anaheim Ducks from 2003-2015. He helped the Senators reach the Stanley Cup Final in 2007 and won it as a backup with the Blackhawks in 2013.

“Ray was an outstanding team-mate and an extremely gifted goaltender,” Flyers president Paul Holmgren said. “Ray’s tal-ent, work ethic and determina-tion helped him enjoy a success-ful 11-year NHL career.”

Emery battled avascular necro-sis, the same serious hip ailment that ended two-sport star Bo Jackson’s career.

OBITUARIES |James Andrew

Shassetz August 9, 1959 -

July 10, 2018 James Andrew

Shassetz passed away on the morning of July 10, 2018 at the very young age of 58. Jim’s presence has been felt through the community his entire life. Jim was quick with

a smile and had an easy, genial laugh, both of which made him easy to like. Many will remember Jim for his athletic prowess. In high school, Jim represented Sheridan admirably as a decorated football and baseball player and an accomplished swim-mer. In football, Jim was Sheridan County player of the year in 1977. Jim had an insa-tiable desire to hike, bike, camp, ski, and explore the outdoors. During the winter, he could be found trying to beat his friends to the bottom of the mountain on a variety of ski runs across the Rockies. He introduced his children, nieces, nephews, and friends to a variety of hiking trails and camping spots in the Big Horns. He loved to share the stories and history of the places he went with those fortunate enough to be his travel companion. When he couldn’t make it to the mountain, you could expect to find Jim outside golfing at the Powder Horn. Jim’s competitive nature was not limited to the sporting arena. He was always eager to beat family, friends, and foes alike in everything from skiing to tennis to board games.

That Jim passed away while climbing Black Tooth, a pinnacle he had scaled many times before, is in many ways fitting. Jim had an an intense love of nature. From an early age, Jim’s interest and inquisitive nature led him to know and identify plants and trees by their scientific names, often to the wonderment of those around him. Jim’s first job was as a guide at the Grand Canyon. Upon his return to Sheridan, he worked for Big Horn Beverage for several years. Jim then returned to his passion for plants and spent the larger portion of his working career caring for the trees and gardens of Sheridan County. Jim was

engrossed in the science and practice of tree care and became a certified arborist. Over the past 15 years, Jim worked to help keep Sheridan beautiful by caring for trees, helping put up Christmas lights out on Absaraka, and tending the gardens at Whitney Park.

While many will remember Jim for his athletic prowess and outdoorsmanship, those who knew him best will remember him as a generous, loyal, dedicated, and humorous husband, father, son, brother and friend. Jim frequently started his day walking with his lovely wife of 27 years, Jenifer. Jim’s home was always open to his family, whom he valued intensely. Jim taught his children, nieces, and nephews how to swim and throw a football. He mowed the lawn and cleared the driveway at his mother’s house. To his last days, Jim’s closest friends had been those who had been his closest friends 50 years prior. His last days were spent showing one of his closest and oldest friends the way to the top of Black Tooth Mountain, a mountain he had traveled often and loved best among the Big Horns.

Jim was born August 9, 1959 to Joseph and Jean Shassetz. He is survived by his loving and devoted wife Jenifer, his son Joseph, his daughter Jamy, his mother, Jean, his sister Andrea, and many nieces and nephews and friends and admirers too numerous to mention. His untimely passing has left a huge whole in the lives of many and he will be missed immensely.

Jim’s memorial will be on Wednesday, July 18, 2018, at Sheridan Wesleyan Church at 2pm and will be followed by a celebration of his life. Please dress for a celebration. Light lunch will be served. Please contact CiCi for details at 752-4514.

Bull riders tie bow onanother thrilling rodeo week

SHERIDAN — Chase Dougherty has watched professional rodeo as a fan for years. The second-year pro has seen numerous bulls in both his time as an aspiring cowboy and in his short professional career.

One bull, however, remained on Dougherty’s bucket list — Walk Off. The world class bull and Dougherty became acquainted for the first time Saturday at the

Sheridan County Fairgrounds, and the two combined to score 87.5 points — finish-ing third overall — to give the Sheridan WYO Rodeo a fitting exclamation point.

“The bull felt awesome,” Dougherty said. “It was everything I dreamt of.”It was a night of firsts for Dougherty, who also competed in his first WYO Rodeo. The Canby, Oregon, native watched as a fan last year but admitted

the energy heightens when strapping oneself into the chutes.“It’s a way different intensity, so much more intensity,” Dougherty said. “The crowd gets into it, and you can feel it so much more. It’s an awesome experience. … This is a great

rodeo. This is right up there with Cheyenne (Frontier Days) and the Pendleton (Round-up). All those places

have awesome rodeos.”After four days of competition, Trevor Kastner

won bull riding with 89 points.Carson City, Nevada, bareback rider Cody

Kiser shared a similar sentiment as Dougherty toward the WYO Rodeo.

Kiser played Hollywood star Bradley Cooper’s stunt double in the movie

“American Sniper.” After his ride, Kiser took the time to pose with many cowboys wanting a picture with the movie star.

“[The movie] needed a guy that could ride and then kind of looked like

[Cooper],” Kiser said. “I don’t think I look like him at all. It was really cool, though. Clint

Eastwood was like, ‘He looks so much like him,’ So that’s really cool. That was a lot of fun.”

Kiser’s brief movie career garnered him some photos, and his ride Saturday warranted them, as well. Kiser got atop State Line and scored 83 points to win the night and place in a tie for sixth overall.

Wyatt Denny and Clayton Biglow tied for first in bareback with 88 points.A couple former Sheridan College cowboys returned to their collegiate

stomping grounds as a part of the saddle bronc competition. Taygen Schuelke and Zeke Thurston both performed well in front of the Sheridan crowd.

“I love it. It’s a great town and a great community,” Thurston said. “I got lots of friends and close people up here, so it’s kind of fun to come and see them.”

Thurston scored a Saturday-best 85 points, riding Pack Train, and Schuelke logged Saturday’s second-best ride, scoring 79.5 points on Sweet 16. Thurston ended in a tie for second overall, and Schuelke just missed finishing in the top eight. Cody DeMoss won the event with 85.5 points.

The majority of the cowboys had a rough go of it in team roping Saturday. Only two of the 10 teams wrangled their calf and the two that did both broke the barrier. Jake Orman and Will Woodfin represented the best of the two, log-ging a time of 10 seconds.

Cody Tew and Nano Garza, along with the team of Joshua and Johnathan Torres, shared the title with an average time of 10.7 seconds.

Douglas native Ty Tillard topped the field Saturday, roping his steer in 12 seconds. Tom Fisher and Trevor Brazile tied for first with a 52.9-second aver-age.

Brazile didn’t split the tie down winnings with anyone, besting the field with an average of 16.6 seconds. Will Howell from Stillwater, Oklahoma, boasted the

best tie down roping time Saturday at 9.5 seconds.Kalane Anders of Cheyenne and Wyatt Jurney of Las Cruces, New Mexico, each

recorded a time of five seconds in steer wrestling to win Saturday’s performance. Jesse Brown and Josh Clark split the championship, clocking in with an 8.8 second average.

Jackie Ganter from Abilene, Texas, raced to Saturday’s quickest barrel racing time of 17.56 seconds. Katie Pascoe won the crown with a time of 17.16 seconds.

Djokovic wins 4th

Wimbledon

LONDON (AP) — Novak Djokovic was disconsolate and injured when he left Wimbledon a year ago, quit-ting during his quarterfinal because of a painful right elbow that would need sur-gery.

Djokovic was so dispirit-ed by his upset exit at the French Open last month that he vowed, in the heat of the moment, to skip the grass-court circuit.

Good thing he didn’t stick to that. Just look at him now, back at his best and Wimbledon’s cham-pion for the fourth time. Djokovic ended a Grand Slam drought that lasted more than two seasons, grabbing a lead in Sunday’s final right away against a weary Kevin Anderson and holding off a late challenge to win 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (3).

“I had many moments of doubt,” Djokovic said, “and didn’t know really if I could come back to the level to compete.”

Anderson nearly managed to extend the match, five times standing just a point away from forcing a fourth set. Djokovic held steady on each one, then was as superior in the tiebreaker as he was most of the sun-drenched afternoon.

It is Djokovic’s 13th major trophy, the fourth-highest total in the history of men’s tennis, trailing only Roger Federer’s 20, Rafael Nadal’s 17 and Pete Sampras’ 14.

But it’s also Djokovic’s first since he completed a career Grand Slam at the 2016 French Open.

During that time, he strug-gled with the first major injury of his professional career, one that forced him off the tour for the last half of 2017. He eventually had an operation this February, and as his losses accumu-lated, his ranking fell out of the top 20 for the first time in more than a decade.

At No. 21, Djokovic is the lowest-ranked Wimbledon titlist since Goran Ivanisevic in 2001.

Under a pale blue sky interrupted by only the occasional soft white puff of cloud, with the temperature at 86 degrees (30 Celsius), Djokovic started so well, and Anderson shakily.

“The first two sets,” acknowledged Anderson, who played college tennis at the University of Illinois, “Novak beat up on me pret-ty bad.”

That might have been easy to anticipate. This was, after all, the 22nd Grand Slam final for Djokovic, and the second for Anderson.

Little mistakes loom large for Troopers in losses

SHERIDAN — A bunt struck just a little too firm, over aggres-siveness on the base paths and the failure to find a hole with a runner in scoring position — the Sheridan Troopers had plenty of opportuni-ties to win game two of a double-header against Laramie at Thorne-Rider Stadium Sunday. They just couldn’t get it done.

The Troopers lost the nightcap 1-0 and fell in the opener 7-1 to quickly drop to 0-2 in conference play.

“We had so many mistakes tonight that we should have won the game,” Sheridan head coach Ben Phillips said. “There’s no rea-son we should have lost that game. That’s a conference game, so it’s frustrating. … It just seemed like everyone was tight. It’s young kids and conference games, and they just, I think, wilted under pressure. Hopefully, we can learn from it and move forward.”

Laramie scored the game’s lone run on a bloop single to right field in the third inning. Sheridan positioned itself in very similar

situations throughout the game in which a weak little pop fly over the infield would have knotted the game or even vaulted the Troopers ahead, but they just couldn’t find it.

MISTAKES: Six runners in scoring positionFROM B2

Sheridan left nine runners on base during the nightcap, six of which were in scoring position.

“I don’t care that we lost. I just hate los-ing the way we did,” Phillips said. “We gave them that game. We had so many opportunities. But that earns them expe-rience, and they gain experience in games like that for when they’re older. … And then those situations, like we had today, aren’t that big, and they are a little bit more relaxed, and they can execute a little bit better. It’s good to be put in that situa-tion, in that spot, so they can learn from it. The more they are under pressure, the bet-ter they’ll react to it.”

Sheridan starter Jacob Boint ended as the tough-luck loser. He went the distance and didn’t encounter as much danger as Laramie starter Reid Baty, but the Troopers couldn’t help out their ace. Boint scattered four hits, struck out eight and only allowed one walk.

Quinton Brooks, Austin Borzenski and Quinn McCafferty each recorded two-hit games; however, no hit for the Troopers went for extra bases.

Ayden Roush got the start in game one. He lasted six innings, surrendering five earned runs on seven hits with three strike-outs and five walks. Jaren Brewer boasted the lone multi-hit game.

Sheridan has lost seven of its last eight games and fallen to 19-37 on the season. A team that has advanced to the state title game the last two years has struggled to string much of anything together. Brooks — who has missed most of the season with an injured elbow — understands, as one of the few veterans, the ebbs and flows of a long season and still believes his team can find a rhythm.

“At this point of the season there are upsides and downsides,” Brooks said. “Sometimes you have an awakening, and you get a couple games and we are together and we are working hard, and sometimes it’s a little bit tougher. Sometimes it’s hard to keep the unity all the time and always be on the top, and we are doing all right for what we have.”

The Troopers will have a chance to bounce back and pick up a couple critical conference games Tuesday when they host Casper in a doubleheader starting at 5:30 p.m.

WIMBLEDON: Anderson coming off second-longest Grand Slam match in historyFROM B2

Anderson was the the runner-up at last year’s U.S. Open and aiming to become the first South African man to win Wimbledon.

Plus, Anderson could be excused for exhaustion. His semifinal was the sec-ond-longest Grand Slam match in history, lasting more than 6½ hours until he edged John Isner 26-24 in the fifth set. And that followed another extended fifth set in his 13-11 upset of eight-time champion Federer in the quarterfi-nals.

“I’m definitely not feel-ing as fresh now as I was coming into the week,” Anderson said.

It was no wonder that, with all of that time on

court, all of that stress on his racket-swinging arm, Anderson was visited by a trainer after Sunday’s open-ing set to get his right elbow massaged.

Anderson was so out of sorts, his strokes so off-the-mark, that Djokovic gathered eight of the first 10 games even though he only conjured up two winners. No need for more, because Anderson gifted him 15 unforced errors in that span.

It was so lopsided for the first hour-plus that spectators began pulling for Anderson, likely in the hopes of getting more ten-nis for their tickets, which carried a face value of 210 pounds (about $275).

Just his earning a random point, even via a Djokovic

miscue, was reason to roar, it seemed. Surely, Anderson appreciated the support. Didn’t do a thing to alter the ultimate outcome, however.

When Anderson pushed a forehand return into the net to end it, Djokovic exhaled. After they shook hands, Djokovic performed his ritu-al of bending down to grab a couple of blades of grass and plopping them in his mouth, savoring the triumph.

“The grass tasted real-ly well,” joked Djokovic, who did the same after his Wimbledon titles in 2011, 2014 and 2015. “I had a dou-ble portion this year, to treat myself.”

One difference on this day: His 3-year-old son, Stefan, was up in the stands for the trophy presentation . Later, they met in a hallway, and

Djokovic knelt down to hug his child.

“It feels amazing,” Djokovic said, “because for the first time in my life, I have someone screaming ‘Daddy! Daddy!’”

This was a third consecu-tive straight-set men’s sin-gles final at the All England Club, and one indication of why: Anderson made 32 unforced errors, Djokovic 13.

Another key: Djokovic handled the 6-foot-8 Anderson’s big serves much better than previous opponents. Widely consid-ered the top returner in the game, Djokovic broke four times. Consider that Anderson won each of his last 27 service games against Isner.

One more: Djokovic saved

all seven break points he faced, including five that would have given Anderson the third set.

As much as Djokovic is known for his body-bending defense and unerring reads on opponents’ serves, he’s also someone who fills his matches with histrionics and exaggerated reactions, whether violently smacking the side of his shoe with his racket — as he did against Nadal in their thrilling five-set semifinal that began Friday and ended Saturday — or tearing off his shirt to celebrate a victory.

This day was no different. Angered by fans making noise during points, he told the chair umpire to tell them to shut up, throwing a colorful word into the demand. He pointed to his

ear after winning one point, as if to say: “Who are you cheering for now?!” He blew a kiss toward the stands after another.

But when he broke Anderson for the second time in three service games at the outset, Djokovic sim-ply shook a clenched fist while calmly looking at his guest box above the score-board.

The bright yellow dig-its on there showed that Djokovic already led 4-1 after all of 18 minutes.

Might as well have declared him the champion, right then and there.

“There is no better place in the world to really be making a comeback,” Djokovic said. “This is a sacred place for the world of tennis.”

Uptain and Ames

represent in Calgary

SHERIDAN — In the midst of Sheridan’s biggest rodeo, a few Sheridan College cow-boys performed well north of the border at the Calgary Stampede. Garrett Uptain and Chance Ames competed at the rodeo, coined ‘The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth.’

Uptain won the novice — 21 or younger — saddle bronc title with a 72.5-point ride in the final round. Chance Ames, just a few days removed from competing at the Sheridan WYO Rodeo, stood as the reserve champion in the nov-ice bareback after scoring 77 points in his final ride.

Both Generals can return to school in the fall for their third and final season.

Jets drop three in

Billings tournament

SHERIDAN — The Sheridan Jets couldn’t get the bats going and lost all three of their games over the week-end at the Billings Halos Tournament, bringing their overall record to an even 16-16.

The Jets were shut out 6-0 by the Billings Emmanuel Halos Thursday evening. Sheridan mustered only three hits.

The offensive struggles continued as the Jets fell 4-3 Friday to the Powell Pioneers. Cody Kilpatrick and Caden Steel each had an RBI. Luke Keller took the complete game loss on the mound, tossing seven innings and allowing four runs on seven hits with eight strikeouts.

Sheridan was downed 8-1 Saturday by Lovell.

The Jets resume action Friday at the district tourna-ment in Gillette.

DEAR ABBY Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips

When Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in the semi-documentary “Pumping Iron” in 1977, the six-time Mr. Olympia astounded audiences with his competitive ferocity and hyper-muscled physique. That’s why it came as no

surprise that he went on to muscle his way on to the sil-ver screen with “Conan the Barbarian,” “The Running Man” and “The Terminator.”

What is surprising is that the tiny lactobacillus bac-teria, only 0.8 micrometers long, can create serious bone strength in older women. Swedish researchers looked at the impact of giving a daily dose of the probiotic for a year to 90 women age 76 or older and found that it reduced their bone loss by 50 percent! Unlike medications given for osteoporosis (brittle bone disease), the probiotics had no side effects.

It is estimated that around 8.2 million women and 2 million men in the U.S. have osteoporosis and an addi-tional 27.3 million women and 16.1 million men have

low bone mass (osteopenia). Fractures of the hip are a common result and severely compromise independent living and increase risk of premature death. Around 72 percent of hip fractures in folks older than 65 happen to women.

So take note: Start a daily regimen of probiotic supple-ments (we like Culturelle, which has lactobacillus, as in the study, and Digestive Advantage) and enjoy fer-mented foods like sauer-kraut, kefir, kimchi and kombucha. Plus, eat lots of prebiotic foods that nurture the bacteria in your guts. That includes garlic, onions, leeks, Jerusalem artichokes, bananas, walnuts, wheat bran, asparagus and high-fi-ber 100 percent whole grains, veggies and fruits.

DEAR ABBY: My daughter has graduated from high school. She had been in a res-idential treatment program for depression the year and a half prior to returning to this school. Her old friends had promised to be there for her

when she returned. After she was back for

three months, her friends stopped inviting her to things and even talked behind her back in a group chat that was started by a different group. The girls’ moms knew some of this was going on and did nothing about it. It has been a difficult journey for my daughter as well as for me.

Now that the girls have all graduated, I’m wondering if I should contact any of them or their moms and ask what happened. It was painful for me to watch my daughter go through weekends when her “friends” were out at parties she wasn’t invited to. It was heartbreaking when no one came to her holiday or birth-day parties. I am wondering if asking the girls/moms

for an explanation can help my daughter learn from it. Please let me know what you think. -- MAMA BEAR OUT WEST

DEAR MAMA BEAR: Your daughter has survived high school, and along with it the cruel treatment of the girls who promised to befriend her. For that, I congratulate her.

Teenagers can be so com-pletely centered on them-selves that the feelings of others do not exist for them. Also, girls in high school tend to form cliques. Add to that the fact that there is so much misunderstanding about mental illness -- not only among teens but also adults -- and I have a pretty good idea of what happened and so should you.

What life lesson do you think exploring this with the other parents will accom-plish for your daughter? Your efforts would be better spent by continuing to emo-tionally support her and encouraging her to move for-ward with her life.

DEAR ABBY: My hus-band’s family is full of people who drink too much and then act like fools, slurring their words, stumbling and vomiting. It happens at many gatherings, and it stresses me out.

They often pressure me to drink more and/or get drunk. Because I don’t do it, I feel ostracized at these gatherings where I’m told I need to “loosen up” or “cheer up” by drinking more. No one else in my life thinks I’m uptight. I’m normally very sociable.

These days, I avoid those family gatherings as often as possible, but I’m afraid I’m courting more problems by not participating in family activities. My relationship with my husband is fantastic, and he understands and sup-ports me, but I don’t feel like his family does. I’ve tried to be frank with them, but the conversations don’t seem to stick. I can’t avoid my hus-band’s family forever. What to do? -- IN THE MINORITY IN LOUISIANA

DEAR MINORITY: Because you have told your in-laws that being urged to drink makes you uncomfortable yet they persist, you are doing all you can short of cutting off all contact with them. Continue to limit the times you attend those fam-ily events, and when asked about your absence, continue to be frank about the reason. Then hope they are sober enough to get the message when you deliver it.

Omarr’s Daily Astrological Forecast Jeraldine Saunders

BIRTHDAY GAL: Ac-tress Billie Lourd was born in Los Angeles today in 1992. This birthday gal starred as Winter Ander-son on “American Horror Story” and played Chanel #3 on “Scream Queens.” On the big screen, Lourd portrayed Lieutenant Connix in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.” Lourd is the daughter of late actress Carrie Fisher and the granddaughter of late actress Debbie Reyn-olds.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Clean up your act. You might have a rosy picture of how people perceive you when you are in the public eye, but this might not be true. What you think is well hidden is not.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Double your pleasure. You will achieve twice as much when teamed up with a partner. If there is a job to do, or someplace to go, take along a congenial friend or significant other.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Think outside the box. You won’t struggle to make ends meet if you tackle the ends with sen-sible solutions. Someone might give you a clue, an idea, a small gratuity, or encouragement.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Turn on the charm and let a smile light up your face when you pick up the phone. A twist of fate could highlight your real friends and those who disappear at the first sign of a storm.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Compatibility and last-ing devotion is based on friendship. Once an intoxi-cating chemical attraction wears off you’ll need some-thing more to talk about to maintain a lasting rela-tionship.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It might seem perfect but might not be polite. If you are single you might sense possibilities in every warm smile or appraising glance. Be discreet about your interactions with business contacts.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Maintain the advantage. You can handle problems or disputes by remaining tolerant and serene. Rise above the senseless, irra-tional fears that prompt other people to run for

cover.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.

21): It is possible that you prefer to be pampered and petted. You may even be primed for a party. It doesn’t seem to matter that it is the middle of the week or that there are tasks to be done.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Friendly com-petition is chicken soup for the soul. Demonstrate your expertise by exhibit-ing a take-charge manner. Romantic sparks could fly with a loved one.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You exemplify what it means to live and learn. You benefit from the best and worst expe-riences. A reminder of a past mistake may save you from making an expensive

mistake.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.

18): There may be a moral obligation to contribute to the pot. Share your money as well as your time. Your charity will ensure that you are considered a con-tributing member of the community.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Wear your wisdom well. Your hunches may be more reliable than some facts. Love and affec-tion seem to take center stage where the footlights are flattering to your every move.

IF JULY 17 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: The next two to three weeks may be the best time for astute busi-ness dealings or breaking through the glass ceiling with your career. Launch

your most important plans or ideas in late September or early October, a time when beneficial opportu-nities may arrive. Wisdom from unlikely sources may prevent you from making a business or career mis-take but the good wishes of friends and family can-not save you from flawed priorities in late October. Pass up a new hookup or investment opportunity in August when your gull-ibility is at a temporary high point. December and January are excellent months to make progress with both your material and spiritual goals.

Hints from Heloise Heloise

Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is from a reader who was annoyed by people in a movie

theater: “Dear Heloise: My wife

and I recently went to a movie we had been eager to see. We don’t go to the movies very often, and we might never go again. Peo-ple were so rude. The people behind us kept talking even after we politely asked them to stop. Another couple let their toddler run up and down the aisle, and the child had a tantrum because his parents wouldn’t take him home. People had cell-phones go off and carried on conversations in the the-ater. We got up in the mid-dle of the movie, asked for the manager and requested a refund. He gave it to us and was very nice.

“People don’t go to a theater to hear you talk or to see your child have a meltdown, and please, folks, turn off your cellphones. It’s just good manners.” -- Jo-seph K. in Milwaukee

Joseph, we’ve gotten so used to big-screen TVs in

our homes that people for-get it’s acceptable to talk, text and play with your chil-dren at home but NOT in a public theater. -- Heloise

-- Heloise RINSE BEFORE LOAD-

ING Dear Heloise: In reference

to the recent hint for rins-ing dishes prior to loading the dishwasher, it is benefi-cial for two reasons. First, it prolongs the life of the dishwasher (it’s not meant to be a garbage disposal). Second, studies have shown that dishwashers (properly loaded) save more water

than hand-washing dishes. Living with our Cali-

fornia drought problems, we are all very concerned about water conservation. I hand-wash pots and pans, but can load an entire week of dishes prior to running the dishwasher. My previ-ous dishwasher lasted 30 years and was only replaced due to a kitchen remodel. -- Mindy T., Valley Village, Calif.

NEW VERSUS OLD Dear Heloise: Help! My

husband wants to buy an old Queen Anne Victorian home and fix it up. I want a new house. Please help us decide. -- Sidney S., Topeka, Kan.

Sidney, old homes have charm and character, but they also usually have old wiring, crumbling founda-tions, ancient plumbing and a long list of other repairs. Talk to a contractor who’s done a lot of remodeling of homes in your area to see what it would cost to remodel an old Victorian home, after you’ve selected the house you are consid-ering buying. Then ask yourselves if you’re up for the mess and strain of a re-modeling project. After all, it may take years to finish a home if you’re on a budget. -- Heloise

Bridge Phillip Alder

The character Carrie Brad-shaw, in an episode of “Sex and the City,” said, “I admit it’s tempting to

wish for the perfect boss, or the perfect parent, or the perfect outfit, but maybe the best any of us can do is not quit. Play the hand we’ve been given and acces-sorize the outfit we’ve got.”

At the bridge table, you have to play the hand you’ve been dealt, and you hope to employ it perfectly. In this deal, how would you proceed in four hearts after West leads his fourth-high-est diamond?

North responded with the Jacoby two-no-trump response, showing at least four-card support and game-going values (at most seven losers). South rebid four hearts with a mini-mum opening and no sin-gleton or void.

South starts with four potential losers: one dia-mond and three clubs. He

has nine top tricks: three spades, five hearts and one diamond. Obviously, if the diamond finesse is working (West has led away from the king), that will provide a 10th trick. But if the fi-nesse loses, declarer will have to avoid three club losers, which will probably require ei-ther finding East with both the ace and king or receiving a misdefense.

However, what about rejecting the diamond finesse?

Ah, yes -- now we are getting somewhere. Win with the diamond ace, draw trumps and run the spades, discarding dummy’s

diamond three. Then cast adrift with the last diamond. If the opponent who wins the trick opens up clubs, it limits South’s losers in the suit to two. If instead the defender leads a diamond, declarer ruffs on the board and sluffs a club from his hand.

SENIORSUS Navy now

allows women to wear

ponytails, lock hairstyles

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The Navy says it will now allow ser-vicewomen to sport ponytails and other hairstyles, reversing a policy that long forbade females from letting their hair down.

Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson said it makes the Navy more inclusive.

Many black women had asked for changes to the female groom-ing standards. A female sailor, Yeoman First Class LaToya Jones, announced the new policy during a Facebook Live event Tuesday with Richardson. The new standards went into effect Wednesday.

Lock hairstyles, or ropelike strands, are also now allowed. Wider hair buns too. And women can wear ponytails while in uni-form.

Capt. Thurraya Kent is the senior member of the working group that recommended the changes. The group told the Navy that adding grooming options would eliminate a distraction, be more inclusive of different hair textures and enable people to keep their hair natural instead of processing it chemically.

Kent, who has been in the Navy for nearly 26 years, said her hair has been an issue throughout her career, whether it’s figuring out what to do with it while she’s deployed or trying to quickly make sure it conforms to regula-tions after exercising.

She recalled being told to take out her braids early in her career even though her hairstyle was allowed.

“Because of the texture of my hair, it stood straight up,” Kent said. “It was a very embarrassing moment that stays with you.”

She said she’s very encouraged that Navy leaders both listened and understood.

At the U.S. Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, on Wednesday, women said they’re excited to switch from buns, which don’t fit well under hel-mets.

Legalman First Class Tamatha Schulmerich said she has to twist and wrap her hair into a bun because it goes down to her lower back. She said it was uncomfortable to wear that way when she had to wear a flight deck helmet in a previous assign-ment.

Lt. Cmdr. Jess Cameron said while allowing new hairdos may seem like a small thing, it sends a larger message.

“I think it’s a step forward,” she said. “They’re getting more female feedback in the service, and updating what I think are somewhat antiquated guidelines that maybe no longer serve their purpose in today’s society, today’s military.”

The Navy said it had the stan-dards in place because of safety concerns and to ensure everyone maintained a uniform, profes-sional look. Though the new rules permit ponytails, there will be some exceptions when work-ing around heavy machinery.

New ways to conquer sleep apnea compete for place in bedroom

Every night without fail, Paul Blumstein straps on a mask that prevents him from repeatedly waking up, gasping for air.

It’s been his routine since he was diag-nosed with a condition called sleep apnea. While it helps, he doesn’t like wearing the mask.

“It’s like an octopus has clung to my face,” said Blumstein, 70, of Annandale, Virginia. “I just want to sleep once in a while without that feeling.”

It’s been two decades since doctors fully recognized that breathing that stops and starts during sleep is tied to a host of health issues, even early death, but there still isn’t a treatment that most people find easy to use.

Airway pressure masks, the most com-mon remedy, have improved in design, get-ting smaller and quieter, but patients still complain about sore nostrils, dry mouths and claustrophobia.

Now, new ways of conquering sleep apnea, and the explosive snoring that comes with it, are vying for a place in the bedrooms of millions of people craving a good night’s sleep. Products range from a $350 restraint meant to discourage back sleeping to a $24,000 surgical implant that pushes the tongue forward with each breath.

Mouthpieces, fitted by dentists, work for some people but have their own problems, including jaw pain. Some patients try sur-gery, but it often doesn’t work. Doctors rec-ommend weight loss, but diet and exercise can be challenging for people who aren’t sleeping well.

So far, no pills for sleep apnea exist, but researchers are working on it. One drug containing THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, showed promise in a study this year.

What is sleep apnea? In people with the condition, throat and tongue muscles relax and block the airway during sleep, caused by obesity, aging or facial structure. They stop breathing, sometimes for up to a min-ute and hundreds of times each night, then awake with loud gasping and snoring. That prevents them from getting deep, restor-ative sleep.

They are more likely than others to have strokes, heart attacks and heart rhythm problems, and they’re more likely to die prematurely. But it’s hard to tease out whether those problems are caused by sleep apnea itself, or by excess weight, lack of exercise or something else entirely.

For specialists, the first-choice, most-stud-ied remedy remains continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP. It’s a motorized device that pumps air through a mask to open a sleeper’s airway. About 5 million Americans have tried CPAP, but up to a third gave up during the first several years because of discomfort and inconvenience.

Martin Braun, 76, of New York City stopped using his noisy machine and awk-ward mask, but now he’s trying again after a car crash when he fell asleep at the wheel. “That’s when I realized, OK this is serious stuff already,” said Braun, who has ordered a quieter CPAP model.

Sleep medicine is a relatively new field. The most rigorous studies are small or don’t follow patients for longer than six months, said Dr. Alex Krist of Virginia Commonwealth University, who served on a federal guidelines panel that reviewed sleep apnea treatments before recommend-

ing against screening adults who have no symptoms.

“We don’t know as much about the bene-fits of treating sleep apnea as we should,” said Krist, vice-chair of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.

While scientists haven’t proved CPAP helps people live longer, evidence shows it can reduce blood pressure, improve day-time sleepiness, lessen snoring and reduce the number of times a patient stops breath-ing. CPAP also improves quality of life, mood and productivity.

With noticeable results, many CPAP users, even those like Blumstein with a love-hate relationship with their devices, persist.

Blumstein was diagnosed about 15 years ago after he fell asleep behind the wheel at a traffic light. He shared his frustrations with using a mask at a recent patient-or-ganized meeting with the Food and Drug Administration, as did Joelle Dobrow of Los Angeles, who said it took her seven years to find one she liked.

“I went through 26 different mask styles,” she said. “I kept a spreadsheet so I wouldn’t duplicate it.”

Researchers are now focused on how to get people to use a mask more faithfully and predicting who is likely to abandon it and could start instead with a dental device.

“It’s the bane of my exis-tence as a sleep doctor,” said Dr. James Rowley of Wayne State University in Detroit. “A lot of what sleep doctors do in the first few months after diagnosis is help people be able to use their CPAP.”

Getting it right quickly is important because of insur-ers’ use-it-or-lose-it policies.

Medicare and other insur-

ers stop paying for a rented CPAP machine if a new patient isn’t using it enough. But patients often have trouble with settings and masks, with little help from equipment suppliers, according to Dr. Susan Redline of Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.

All told, it can drive people toward sur-gery.

Victoria McCullough, 69, of Escondido, California, was one of the first to receive a pacemaker-like device that stimulates a nerve to push the tongue forward during sleep. Now, more than 3,000 people world-wide have received the Inspire implant. Infections and punctured lungs have been reported; the company says serious compli-cations are rare.

McCullough said she asked her doctor to remove the device soon after it was activat-ed in 2015.

“It was Frankenstein-ish. I didn’t like it at all,” McCullough said. “My tongue was just thrashing over my teeth.”

Others like the implant. “My quality of life is 100 percent better,” said Kyleene Perry, 74, of Edmonds, Washington, who got one in February after struggling with CPAP for two years. “People are saying, ‘You look so much better.’ I have a lot more energy.”

The THC pill, known as dronabinol, already is used to ease chemotherapy side effects. A small experiment in 73 people suggests it helps some but wasn’t complete-ly effective. It may work better in combi-nation with CPAP or other devices, said researcher David Carley of the University of Illinois at Chicago. He owns stock in Respire Rx Pharmaceuticals, which has a licensing agreement with the university for a sleep apnea pill.

As the search for better treatments con-tinues, listening to patients will be key, said Redline.

“We are actually just treating a very tiny percentage of people effectively,” she said.
