FROM STAFF REPORTS
RANCHESTER — When the SheridanCounty commissioners voted 2-3 against a con-ditional use permit for the Sheridan CountySchool District 1 Recreation District’s plansfor a Big Horn community center back inAugust, it left the District with an empty plotof land and an insurance check for $698,000and not much else.
The next big decision was deciding what todo with the land.
The SCSD1 Recreation District board made aunanimous decision last night to pay off themortgage owed on the land, which was rough-ly $320,000 last September. The board didn’thave the current figure for the mortgage atlast night’s meeting, but they estimated itaround $300,000.
The board had tabled the discussion inSeptember, debating whether to pay the mort-gage or keep the money for a future project onthe property. With the budget concerns in
SCSD1, the Recreation District board felt itwas best to pay off the mortgage.

CHEYENNE (AP) — TheWyoming House voted Tuesday tocut most of the funding from abill that Senate lawmakers hadpassed to help hospitals in thestate cover the cost of treatinguninsured patients.
The House on Tuesday voted tocut the funding in the bill from $5
million to $1 million.Several House mem-
bers said Tuesdaythey’re not convincedthe state has doneenough research intohow hospitals woulduse state money iflawmakers approvedit, and some said they
feared the proposed fundingwould be so little as not to make areal difference to hospitals.
The Senate passed the hospitalfunding bill after rejecting a billthat would have accepted over$100 million a year in federalfunds to expand the Medicaid pro-gram to offer health insurance to17,600 adults.
The Wyoming HospitalAssociation had supportedMedicaid expansion, sayinginsuring more people wouldreduce hospital charity cases. Theassociation has said hospitals inthe state absorb hundreds of mil-lions a year in charity care costs,increasing the costs of medicalcare for those who have insur-ance coverage.
Both the Wyoming Senate andthe House rejected Medicaidexpansion last month. Criticssaid they didn’t trust federalpromises to continue to pay atleast 90 percent of expansioncosts in years to come.
Rep. Steve Harshman, R-Casper,urged House members Tuesday tosupport the hospital funding cut,saying that fully funding the billwouldn’t change the number ofpeople who receive charity care.Harshman is chairman of theHouse AppropriationsCommittee.
Rep. Marti Halverson, R-Etna,responded that lawmakersweren’t in a place to question howhospitals would use the money. “Ifit does mean a raise for the 7 p.m.to 7 a.m. nurse, who are we tocare about that?” she said.
Rep. Michael Greear, R-Worland,sponsored the amendment toreduce the funding. He said thehospital funding bill wouldn’treally address the issue of payingfor charity care in the state.
“We use the analogy that wehave a gaping wound, and we’reputting a Band-Aid on it,” Greearsaid.

SHERIDAN — While nationwideand in Wyoming police departmentshave opted to purchase body camerasfor officers, don’t look for cameras on
officers in Sheridan yet. “It’s an emerging trend and we con-
sider all types of technology,” Lt. TomRingley of the Sheridan PoliceDepartment said. “But it’s just notsomething we’re considering yet.”
Lt. Mark Conrad of the Sheridan
County Sheriff ’s Office also said bodycameras are not on the radar or in thebudget.
Across the nation, opinions of bodycameras have been mixed, runningthe gamut from the public demandthat all police wear them to police
protests that the cameras are imprac-tical and expensive. Some critics ofbody cameras have also expressedconcerns for privacy.

CASPER (AP) — Oil companies that operate inWyoming report that they are holding off onhydraulic fracturing and are waiting to completenewly drilled oil wells to save money during lowoil prices.
Oil prices are down around $50 a barrel, orroughly half the price a year ago. The hydraulicfracturing process of pumping pressurizedwater, sand and chemicals into wells to crackopen deposits can add significantly to the cost ofdeveloping a deep oil well.
EOG Resources, headquartered in Houston,
announced that it plans to delay fracking 285wells. Chesapeake Energy, based in OklahomaCity, likewise plans to wait until 2016 to completeabout 100 wells, while Devon Energy, also basedin Oklahoma City, is cutting back on frackingcrews in Texas, the Casper Star-Tribune reports.
Oil wells often hit peak production soon afterthey are drilled.
It makes sense for companies to wait to com-plete wells after oil prices are higher, said ana-lyst James Williams with WRTG Economics inLondon, Arkansas.

Ranchester issues final plat for subdivision
BY TRAVIS PEARSONTHE SHERIDAN PRESS
RANCHESTER — The Ranchester TownCouncil approved a final plat with condi-tions attached for Stonebrook Meadows 5subdivision at its meeting Tuesdayevening.
The final plat allows for installing infra-structure like utilities and roads, but devel-oper Drew Redinger must complete severaladditional steps before he can start sellingany of the subdivision’s nine lots, MayorPeter Clark said.
The main topic of discussion Tuesdaydealt with the floodplain. The FederalEmergency Management Agency estab-lished flood lines in Sheridan County with-in the past few years, but Redinger hired aprivate engineering firm to conduct surveywork and establish more precise defini-tions.
The two boundaries do not match up, cre-ating some confusion for the town.
“Right now, according to our ordinances,we have to go by the FEMA one,” Clarksaid Wednesday. “It's not clear to uswhether we can adopt the floodplain studythat was done by the private engineeringfirm.”
Engineer Chris Johnson said he wouldstudy the matter further and report to theCouncil at a future meeting.
In addition to clarifying the floodplain,
Redinger must secure permits from theWyoming Department of EnvironmentalQuality for water and sewer, and alsoacquire a bonding permit through thetown.
Clark said these conditions must be metbefore the town would sign off on the plat,allowing for sale of lots.
In other business:• The Council approved the second read-
ing of Ordinance 268, which fixes depositfees for use of town water. The motion car-ried an amendment “to add a $150 deposit… for anyone who is under default,” Clarksaid.
The amendment is meant to put “a littlemore teeth” into encouraging residents topay their bills, Clark added. The ordinancewill not become law until after three read-ings.
• Councilors passed the second reading ofan annexation of Sheridan County SchoolDistrict 1 property. County Road 120, locat-ed next to the school district’s property fora new elementary school, will come intotown limits after three readings.
Clark said the annexation was done toclean up boundaries and ownership issuesin the area.
• The mayor reported someone stole thetires off the recycling trailer in Ranchesterlast week, costing the town $500.

Education bill receives another amendmentFROM STAFF REPORTS
SHERIDAN — Senate File 8 on stateeducation accountability and assess-ment continues to evolve as anotheramendment has been added to thesubstitute bill that replaced the origi-nal last Thursday.
The substitute bill includes signifi-cant language changes including:
• striking the addition of a fourthyear of mandatory math in highschool;
• removing requirements for theState Board of Education to establishperformance level descriptors for stu-dent content standards;
• allowing the State Superintendentof Public Instruction to select the datefor statewide 11th grade administra-tion of the ACT test "in a manner thatbest meets the needs of students andschool districts;” and
• pushing the accountability datesfurther into the future, in order togive districts time to get systems inplace and the WDE time to get a StateSystem of Support into place.
The current bill requires the BOE toestablish a taskforce by April 1, 2015.According to the bill, the taskforce isto conduct a review and evaluation ofthe statewide assessment system, bothfor accountability and accreditationpurposes.
Before passing second reading inthe Wyoming House of
Representatives, amendments weremade to the substitute bill loweringthe amount of appropriated fundsfrom the WDE that the BOE can nowuse for the assessment taskforce andhow those funds can be spent.
The appropriation of $250,000 waslowered to $25,000, and those fundscannot be used for outside consult-ants, only for per diem and otherexpenses.
The BOE must review assessmentoptions and report its recommenda-tions to the Joint EducationCommittee and the Select Committeeon Accountability by Oct. 15.
Another amendment was madechanging the review of a district’sassessment system following aschool’s rating of Not MeetingExpectations permissible, not manda-tory.
Contrary to common misconcep-tions, SF8 includes no languageregarding the Common Core StateStandards, the Next GenerationScience Standards, a statewide cur-riculum or the removal of local con-trol.
The substitute bill for the Wyomingrepeal gun free zones act, House Bill114, passed second reading in theSenate. The substitute called for morelocal control over the decision onwhether or not to allow concealedweapons on such properties as public
school facilities.The substitute bill cites firearm
restrictions that have been upheld bythe Wyoming Supreme Court, as wellas language regarding where theWyoming Legislature has found thatthe right to keep and bear arms is notabsolute.
It reads, "As with other constitution-al guarantees, a balance must bestruck between the individual's rightto exercise this constitutional guaran-tee and society's right to enact lawswhich will ensure some semblance oforder."
The substitute bill also specificallymentions students and schools.Authorization to carry a weaponwould be granted by the governingbody overseeing the public school,public college or university. The carri-er would need to be at least 21 years ofage and colleges that have a child carefacility on site would be prohibitedfrom allowing concealed carry.
The bill still prohibits concealedcarry in courtrooms and by a proper-ty owner who chooses to restrictfirearms on private property.
Additionally, the School AthleticSafety bill (SF98), the charter schooleligibility-bonus payments bill (SF91),the summer school intervention andremediation bill (SF74) and the schoolfacilities appropriations bill (SF57) allpassed second reading.

The 1st Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging thefreedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Aslide projected onto the wall at the AmericanIsrael Public Affairs Committee gatheringMonday contained a warning to delegates:"AIPAC is Bipartisan," it said, next to an image of
a Democratic donkey and Republican elephant in boxinggear. "Check your gloves at the door."
They checked their gloves, all right — but less topractice bipartisanship than to pummel the Obamaadministration with bare knuckles. In the brawlbetween President Obama and Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu over Iran nuclear negotiations,AIPAC has joined congressional Republicans in sid-ing wholeheartedly with the Israeli hard-liner.
The rift with Obama is nothing new; four years ago,AIPAC delegates were urged not to boo Obama whenhe spoke to the group (most obeyed). But this situa-
tion is worse, because Netanyahu,by accepting House Speaker JohnBoehner's invitation to addressCongress — snubbing Obama, whowasn't consulted —- is exploiting apartisan rift in American politicsand driving a wedge through theAmerican Jewish community. Andcongressional Republicans, by giv-ing Netanyahu their pulpit 14 daysbefore Israel's elections, are brazen-ly taking sides in that country's pol-itics. This all is likely to backfire byfirming Democratic resistance tomore Iran sanctions — and, in the
long run, by politicizing U.S.-Israeli relations.The AIPAC delegates left no doubt where they stood
as they listened to speeches by Netanyahu and by anObama administration representative, U.N.Ambassador Samantha Power. The transcript willshow that they applauded Netanyahu 59 times in his22-minute speech, compared with 34 times duringPower's 30-minute address. But that doesn't reflectthe rapturous nature of the reception for Netanyahu(who got an 80-second standing ovation) and thepolite but tepid response to Power (who received aperfunctory 18 seconds).
"As a few of you may have heard, the prime minis-ter of Israel is in town," Power said with a smile.There was laughter — and then a wave of defiantapplause swelled across the room. Power aimed forthe high ground, saying that the "U.S.-Israel partner-ship transcends politics," but only about half thecrowd lumbered, slowly, to their feet at this obligato-ry applause line, while others sat with arms folded.
Thirty minutes later, Netanyahu asserted that "myspeech is not intended to show any disrespect toPresident Obama or the esteemed office that heholds" — but curiously, only about one in 10 stood toapplaud.
"My speech is also not intended to inject Israel intothe American partisan debate," Netanyahu contin-ued, noting that the alliance "has been championedby both parties and so it must remain." Roughly thesame percentage stood to applaud this sentiment.
AIPAC delegates had to be warned to be nice toPower. A slide flashed on the wall featured Casper theFriendly Ghost and the message: "Don't boo! BeFriendly." Just before Power took the stage, theannouncer admonished attendees to "be sure to treatall of our speakers and fellow delegates as guests inour home."
Power read a too-long speech that included a coupleof Hebrew words and made all the usual referencesto the Holocaust, her trip to Israel and Jewish cul-ture. But no more than one-fifth of participants stoodwhen she vowed that "the United States of Americawill not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon —period." And, in truth, her boasts about her achieve-ments for Israel (helping "secure for Israel perma-nent membership in what's called the WesternEuropean and Others Group") were modest.
She was no match for Netanyahu, a head of govern-ment and a gifted orator whose politics are more intune with AIPAC's. They politely applauded when heacknowledged the presence of Dan Shapiro, the U.S.ambassador to Israel, but they gave a huge ovation toRon Dermer, the Israeli ambassador to the U.S. whohas been active in Republican politics.
They gave a boisterous standing ovation toNetanyahu's invocation of a "moral obligation" togive his views on the Iran negotiations, declaring anend to "the days when the Jewish people are passivein the face of threats to annihilate us."
The Israeli leader put his spat with Obama in thecontext of previous disagreements back to 1948, argu-ing that "disagreements in the family are alwaysuncomfortable, but we must always remember thatwe are family."
That's true. But when family members start med-dling in each other's domestic affairs, they riskestrangement.

AIPAC pummels Obama

I'm getting that deja vu feeling asHouse Republicans these past sever-al days have failed to alter the pub-lic's perception that they're inca-
pable of governing.This week marked Episode 2, Season
2 in the series "Homeland SecurityFace-Off." Subtitle: "How RepublicansForfeit the White House in 2016."
Notwithstanding Tuesday after-noon's vote, which funded theDepartment of Homeland Securitythrough the end of the fiscal year, last
week's high-stakesgame of chicken —and this week's nearrepeat — provides alesson for futureskirmishes.
We've seen this allbefore. HouseSpeaker JohnBoehner tries to gethis conference to actrationally, but the 52or so whose missionis to act disruptivelyat any opportunity
force the House majority into a "baddeal," to borrow from Israeli PrimeMinister Benjamin Netanyahu'sdescription of our current negotia-tions with Iran.
If I may pause for just a moment.What a strange juxtaposition to haveNetanyahu outline worst-case scenar-ios should our current proposed dealwith Iran go through, effectively free-ing Iran, a leading instigator of ter-rorism in the Middle East, to con-struct nuclear weapons in 10 years —and our own Congress' inability tofund Homeland Security amid a dis-pute over immigration.
Back to our more immediate realityand the prosaic if tawdry machina-tions of government.
President Obama, much of themedia and the tea party gang share
common cause in placing blame forthe House's fumblings on Boehner'sleadership. But comparisons to previ-ous speakers are too facile. Timeschange.
Lest the tea party faction or theFreedom Caucus construct an effigyin my image, allow me to note that,yes, they are doing their people's bid-ding. These folks who prefer shut-downs to compromise were elected tostand on principle, no matter the con-sequences. Given that most are in nodanger of being challenged in theirhome districts, they seem perfectlycontent to oblige.
They may be viewed as villains inWashington but they're hailed asheroes back home, where hatingBeltway insiders is a CampaignPledge.
But principles defended at theexpense of pragmatic application isthe business of priests.
Here on terra firma, if you lose, youlose. You may be re-elected asapproval for your zeal as a live-free-or-die, stand-with-Bibi, "Duck Dynasty"patriot, but to what effect if one's abil-ity to bring about change is neuteredin the process?
It is fair to note that Boehner hasn'tbeen able to corral enough votes tomove forward with any momentum.In 2013, he essentially caved to hismembers and allowed them to shutdown the government.
But it is also true that a leader can'tlead those whose proudest accom-plishment is to not follow.
Not even Majority Whip SteveScalise, who is a member of the teaparty, has been able to whip hisbrethren into line. Herding cats?Loading frogs into a wheelbarrow?There is yet no simile or metaphoradequate to describe the moment.How about this: They are like the foot-ball player who intercepts a pass, then
turns around and runs the ball overthe opposing team's goal line.
Insisting that Homeland Securityfunding be attached to the president'sexecutive actions to curtail deporta-tions of immigrants here illegally — apredictably losing gamble forRepublicans — was a touchdown forthe other team.
Once again, Democrats were handedthe opportunity to point out thatRepublicans aren't in town to govern.They're in town to lose.
Last week's "patch," as HouseMinority Leader Nancy Pelosidescribed the seven-day continuingresolution to fund Homeland Security,merely set up this week's repeat.Tuesday morning, Boehner laid it outto his conference: Either pass a cleanbill or pass another CR and still lose.
Apparently, he was successful inselling the only real deal available.The House passed the clean Senatebill 257-167.
Whether this solution changes pub-lic perception sufficiently — andwhether it can hold through theRepublican primary process — is yetto be seen. In the meantime, what wedo know is that a Republican can'twin the presidency if the party morewidely is considered not ready forprime time.
Without the 40 percent of theHispanic vote widely considered nec-essary to win — and enough inde-pendents and moderates who areturned off by the more-righteous-than-thou Freedom Caucus — aRepublican doesn't stand a chance.

The GOP: A tragedy in 52 acts
Congrats to coachMoser; not the only
head coachRe: Press article, Feb. 23
We would like to congrat-ulate Diane Moser as sheretires from her coachingcareer at Tongue RiverHigh School. Her dedicationand achievements for 41years as head coach of theLady Eagles is remarkable.
The Press published avery nice write-up regard-ing her many years of serv-ice. It also stated that she
was “the only head coachTongue River Lady Eaglebasketball has ever had.”
In the fall of 1972, theTitle 9 program promotedthe equality of sportsbetween girls and boys. Atthe time, Vicki FiedlerHanft was hired as the firsthead coach for the TongueRiver Lady Eagles, coachingvolleyball, basketball andtrack for the first two yearsof the girls program. DebMoody began the Big HornLady Rams program at thesame time coaching volley-ball, basketball and track.
Being credited for 41years of coaching is truly aremarkable feat; however,Ms. Moser has not been theonly head coach for theTongue River Lady Eagles.Credit should be extended,not only to her, but to Ms.Hanft who started the LadyEagles sports teams, and tothose first Lady Eagles whoshowed their initiative andthe skills to be on an equalwith the boys teams. Creditshould also be extended toMs. Moody for beginningthe Lady Rams program,and then to Karen Day who
continued coaching theLady Rams after the initialtwo years.
Again, congratulations toMs. Moser, but also to Ms.Hanft and Ms. Moody whobegan Sheridan CountySchool District No.1’s girlssports programs. Thankyou for allowing us to clari-fy misinformation that hasbeen noted for many years.

Dilain, advocate for poor amid 2005 French riots, dies at 66
PARIS (AP) — Claude Dilain, a Socialist politi-cian who became a leading advocate for France’smost troubled and impoverished neighborhoods asmayor of a town at the heart of three weeks ofrioting in 2005, has died, officials said. He was 66.
He died at a Paris hospital of complications froma recent heart attack, said Lamya Monkachi, anadviser to Dilain when he was mayor of Clichy-sous-Bois northeast of Paris from 1995 to 2011.
Two teens were electrocuted in a power substa-tion there while hiding from police in 2005 — set-ting off rioting that exposed discrimination,poverty and crime in many troubled housing proj-ects across France.

HOSPITAL: Harvey to request study on hospital funding FROM 1
Rep. Elaine Harvey, R-Lovell, hadpushed for retaining the $5 millionthe Senate recommended for the billplus adding an additional $1 millionfrom another bill that died.
Harvey, chairman of the HouseLabor, Health and Social ServicesCommittee, said after the House votethat her committee intends to asklegislative leaders to authorize aninterim study on the issue of hospi-
tal funding.Harvey said she’s not aware of any
House members who intend to try toamend the bill on its scheduled finalreading on Wednesday. Instead, shepredicted that a House/Senate con-ference committee on the bill willlikely recommend increasing thefunding back up to about $3.5 mil-lion.
There are 26 hospitals in the state,and most of the big ones have over200 days of operating cash on hand,
Harvey said. But she said somesmaller ones are operating on muchtighter margins, with some havingonly a few weeks of cash.
“This is just a one-year program,and I think that what we’re doing iskeeping the doors open for a year,”Harvey said. Lawmakers will studyuncompensated care, meaning billsthat hospitals can’t collect, as well ascritical access care for people under100 percent of the federal povertylevel, she said.
BODY CAMS: Cost could include tech for data storageFROM 1
The Police Executive ResearchForum, an independent researchorganization that focuses on policing,worked with the U.S. Department ofJustice’s Community OrientedPolicing Service, or COPS, to releasea 92-page study on the subject lastyear addressing the concerns of boththe public and the police. The studyrecommended a set of regulationsregarding everything from where onthe body the camera should be wornto when the camera should be record-ing to protect the expectation of pri-vacy.
According to the study, severaldepartments around the countrynoted an all-around change in behav-ior, not only in law enforcement butalso in the public, when officers werewearing cameras. The PERF cited 60
to 75 percent reductions in use offorce incidents and 40 to 88 percentfewer citizen complaints against offi-cers when cameras were deployed.The study also cited incidents whendepartments fired officers afterreviews of the footage from theirbody cameras revealed unprofession-al conduct.
Powell police chief Roy Eckerdtsaid his department has the bodycameras but they have not yet beendeployed.
“These are not cameras that will berecording eight hours a day like cam-eras in some of the larger depart-ments,” Eckerdt said. “They’re onlygoing to be used in certain situationswhen it’s determined they’re need-ed.”
Conrad said a lot has to be consid-ered before cameras become a part ofany department.
“It’s not just a matter of getting thecameras,” Conrad said. “Are theygoing to be compatible with othertech we’re using? Where are we goingto be storing the data from these cam-eras and how much is that going tocost?”
Eckerdt said his department spentapproximately $4,800 on 12 cameras,what he described as the lower end ofthe cost spectrum. Eckerdt added thathis department has not had to spendadditional funding on data storagebecause the cameras are compatiblewith the department’s currentservers.
Regardless of the debate over bodycameras, Eckerdt said they should beviewed in one way.
“These are tools just like a digitalcamera at a crime scene or a dashcam,” he said. “That’s how theyshould be presented.”

Wyoming moves to regulateuranium mining industry
CASPER (AP) — A bill signed into lawlast week by Gov. Matt Mead is the firststep in a lengthy process of the state takingover oversight responsibility of uraniummining in Wyoming.
Currently, the U.S. Nuclear RegulatoryCommission oversees the state’s uraniumindustry.
The legislation passed by the WyomingLegislature and signed by Mead wouldmake Wyoming the fourth state to take overoversight duties from the NRC.
State officials and industry representa-tives tell the Casper Star-Tribune that itwill take four to six years for Wyoming toestablish a program and receive NRCapproval.
The state’s uranium industry has longcriticized the federal permitting process asslow and inefficient.
Environmentalists and industry criticssaid the program’s effectiveness willdepend on the way the state writes therules.
USGS: More data needed toassess any
fracking-pollution link
CHEYENNE (AP) — A new study by theU.S. Geological Survey says more data isneeded to be able to say for sure if a linkexists between unconventional oil and gasdevelopment and degraded water quality.
The study published in the AmericanGeophysical Union journal WaterResources Research finds no evidencehydraulic fracturing is polluting nearbysurface water.
However, the researchers say existingdata to investigate long-term water qualitytrends is adequate in just 16 percent of U.S.watersheds with unconventional oil andgas resources.
Some environmentalists blame frackingfor causing pollution. Fracking employspressurized water mixed with sand andchemicals to break open oil and gasdeposits underground.
The researchers say insufficient water-quality data from the years before frackingbecame commonplace impede long-term
analysis of watersheds with oil and gasdevelopment.
Mead signs bill lifting restrictions on homegrown
food sales
CHEYENNE (AP) — Gov. Matt Mead hassigned into law legislation looseningrestrictions on food sales in Wyoming.
The Wyoming Food Freedom Act wouldexempt Wyoming food sales from govern-ment inspections, licensing and certifica-tion as long as they are single transactionsbetween a producer and an “informed endconsumer.”
This would apply to sales at farmers’markets and the ability for small farmersor other individuals to sell homegrown orlocally raised products.
The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports thatthe bill received overwhelming supportfrom lawmakers despite concerns fromstate health officials who said removing theregulations, especially unpasteurized dairyproducts, could lead to public safety issues.
Amended housing discrimination bill protecting
gays rejected
CHEYENNE (AP) — The state House hasrejected an amendment that would haveadded gay and transgender people to a billaimed at protecting Wyoming residentsfrom housing discrimination.
The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports thebill would bar discrimination based on“race, color, religion, sex, disability, famil-ial status or national origin.”
Rep. Cathy Connolly, a LaramieRepublican and the only openly gay mem-ber in the Legislature, sponsored anamendment that added “sexual orientationor gender identity” to the list.
Opponents of the amendment say statelaw needs to be similar to federal law forthe federal government to allow Wyomingto control housing discrimination investi-gations.
The bill without the amendment passedthe House and heads back to the Senate,which will consider other changes.
COUNTY: Board puts MOU to the test FROM 1
Commissioners first accepted a memo-randum of understanding with the city.The MOU, which the City Council passed atits Feb. 17 meeting, provides “a detailedprocess for the city and county to followrelated to the transfer of ownership andthe ultimate annexation of county roadsbased on development activity on cityroads,” according to County Public WorksDirector Rod Liesinger.
The board then approved a separateagreement, putting the MOU to the testright away.
The document calls for approximately $1million in improvements to HollowayAvenue between 11th and 15th streets.Liesinger said construction would bringthe gravel road to urban street standards,including curb and gutter and sidewalk.
Currently, 11th through 13th streets sitwithin city limits, and 13th through 15thwill transfer to the city within 30 days ofproject completion.
The cooperative agreement calls for thecounty to administer all construction. Thecity and county will each be responsible for100 percent of project costs on their respec-tive sections of Holloway Avenue, and theparties will split engineering services 50-50.
“It’s a cost-share,” Liesinger explained.“The city will pay 100 percent of theimprovements from 11th to 13th street.Sheridan County, in cooperation with someroad improvement fund grants, that 85 per-cent grant funding we received fromWYDOT (Wyoming Department ofTransportation), will fund the county roadportion from 13th to 15th.”
The county is soliciting requests for qual-ification from consultants, due March 23.The city will add the project to its construc-tion plans this fall, and construction shouldbegin in the first half of 2016.
“It’s been in the works a long time, andit’s another step forward in cooperationwith the city,” Commission Chair TomRingley said.
The same can be said of the MOU, as thecity and county have negotiated theprocesses by which county roads areannexed since April 2014.
The commission delayed consideration ofthe MOU on Feb. 17 to allow CountyAttorney Matt Redle to make some minorchanges.
The newest document replaces a 2007 res-olution and revised language to state that aroad does not need to be entirely contigu-ous to city limits in order to be consideredfor annexation. It also added that cost shar-ing for improvements would be evaluatedon a case-by-case basis.
Later in the meeting, commissionersapproved another upcoming constructionproject, a parking lot west of the County
Courthouse on West Burkitt Street.County Administration Director Renee
Obermueller announced Shoeny, Inc. sub-mitted the low bid at approximately $84,000.The contract calls for work completion byJuly 31.
Shoeny will pave and install curb and gut-ter at the location, which will eventuallyaccommodate 10 or 11 parking spaces,according to Liesinger.
The city will utilize Shoeny’s servicescooperatively for construction on an alleyapproach on West Works Street at a cost of$8,359. Sheridan must reimburse the coun-ty this amount within 45 days of Tuesday’sapproval.
In other business:
• The commission followed thePlanning and ZoningCommission’s recommendationsand approved two variancerequests and a subdivision permitfor creation of a new three-lot sub-division called the WhisperingHills Estates, located west ofRanchester.
The first variance will allow thestreet leading to the subdivision tobe private rather than therequired public dedication. This isbecause surrounding landownerssaid they will allow private ease-ments to be granted for access butnot for public right-of-way dedica-tion.
The second variance was toallow the cul-de-sac servicing thesubdivision to be longer than typi-cally allowed.
The two variances and subdivi-sion permit passed unanimously.
• Parking lot improvements atthe fairgrounds and road resurfac-ing on certain county roads willget a boost from the purchase of8,500 cubic yards of reclaimedasphalt pavement from WYDOT ata total price of $97,000.
“We’ve been in negotiations forprice, and they came back with $10per cubic. It’s a real fair price. Itcomes out to a little over $6 a ton,”County Engineer Ken Muller said.
• All 2015 upcoming high schoolgraduates in Sheridan are encour-aged to apply for the Board ofCounty CommissionersScholarship. The scholarshipcould be used at any Wyoming col-lege or the University ofWyoming. A link is available at thecounty’s website.
LAND: $1,000 donated for books FROM 1
The board also discussed leveling theland once it has been paid off. The landcurrently features a large hole and somerough terrain, which the board feelsneeds to be cleaned up. They will pursuepurchasing fill dirt and tidy up the prop-erty once they have it.
The only other business discussed atTuesday night’s meeting was a $1,000
check given to the library at Big HornElementary School.
The board had given the check to thelibrary to help purchase new booksbased on a physical fitness challenge theschool would host in exchange for themoney. The fitness challenge fellthrough, but the board decided to grantthe money to the school, anyway. Theydid decide, though, that in the future,they needed to focus more on recreationwhen donating money.

Boehner escapes jam on DHS vote,but more GOP battles loom
WASHINGTON (AP) — House SpeakerJohn Boehner’s job is safe despite passingyet another big bill that most of hisRepublican colleagues oppose, as he didTuesday to avert defunding theDepartment of Homeland Security.
But Boehner and his leadership teamappear destined to confront fratricidal
fights for months to come. Thefriction exposes deep GOP ide-ological differences as the 2016presidential campaign getsunder way.
For all the Washington chat-ter of a possible Republicancoup against Boehner — theperpetually tanned, cigarette-
smoking deal-maker from Ohio — fewlawmakers gave it credence Tuesday.
“It would take Democrat cooperation todo that, which is never going to happen,”said Rep. Mick Mulvaney of SouthCarolina, a frequent critic of Republicanleaders. The mere subject, he said, “isirrelevant.”
GOP Rep. Trent Franks of Arizona saidhe, too, opposed the bill advanced by hisparty’s leaders, “but I’m not mad atthem.”
Boehner’s allies say rebellious conserva-tives realize he protects them from trou-ble by letting them cast politically safevotes while he taps Democrats to avertpublic-relations disasters. Past episodesavoided a government default on debtsand the halting of a massive “FiscalCliff ” tax increase. On Tuesday, Boehner’sconcession prevented shuttering theHomeland Security agency.
“John Boehner, honestly, in a number ofcases saved the Republican conferencefrom itself,” said GOP Rep. Tom Cole ofOklahoma.
Cole said he doesn’t think relying heavi-ly on Democratic votes is a “new normal.”But he conceded the Republican-ledCongress faces even tougher choicesahead, including another debt limit show-down this year, in which scores of conser-vatives are unlikely to help.
Most House Republicans refused to fundHomeland Security this year unlessPresident Barack Obama’s executiveactions liberalizing deportation policieswere overturned. The Senate blocked theplan.
Stymied, Boehner agreed Tuesday toadvance a Homeland Security funding billwith no immigration strings attached.
All 182 Democrats in the chamber votedfor it, along with 75 Republicans. But 167Republicans voted against it, a strikingrebuke to a leadership-backed bill.
Heightening the party’s intramuralangst were new political ads by theAmerican Action Network, run byBoehner’s allies. They began runningTuesday in the districts of about 50 HouseRepublicans who defied him on HomelandSecurity last week.
The $400,000 campaign includes phonecalls, a few TV ads, and ads on popularconservative talk radio shows. Theyurged constituents to call their represen-tatives, not vote them out of office.
Several targeted Republicans shruggedoff the impact.
“We’re all big boys and girls, and weknow that’s what you get into in this busi-ness,” Mulvaney told reporters. Still, hesaid, it “makes you scratch your head” toattend a meeting on Republican unity and“get a text from your office” saying agroup tied to the speaker “is running adsagainst you in the district.”
As for the 167 Republicans who votedagainst the funding bill, he said, “this isan easy vote for some people, becausethey know it’s going to pass.”
Rep. Tim Huelskamp of Kansas, one ofBoehner’s harshest GOP critics, said hethinks it is “unprecedented for a speakerof the House to so lose control of hischamber that he’s attacking the base ofthe party.” He predicted the ads wouldbackfire, telling his staff, “Make sure ourwebsite’s up and running to get campaigncontributions, because I think that’swhat’s going to be happening.”
Huelskamp said a fierce strugglebetween establishment Republicans and“grassroots conservatives” is brewing.“The war is on,” he said.
But many other House conservativesseemed ready to move on, saying Boehneris safe as speaker. “I’ve not seen anyonecome forward and say he wants the job,”said Rep. Joe Barton of Texas.
Rep. John Fleming of Louisiana said,“There are no plans, no discussions aboutremoving the speaker.”
Tuesday’s vote didn’t rule out futureefforts to defund government agencies ifObama won’t yield to Republicans’ wisheson issues, including deportation. SomeRepublicans said they “took the wronghostage” in targeting Homeland Security,a popular agency when terrorist threatsabound.
“If we had been serious about thisfight,” said GOP Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas,it would “have focused on the EPA or theIRS or the Department of Labor. Nowthose are departments which a majoritywould be prepared to allow funding totemporarily expire in order to use asleverage to stop the president’s illegal andunconstitutional amnesty.”
Tuesday’s vote was perhaps the finalcoffin nail in the “Hastert Rule,” promul-gated by former House Speaker DennisHastert. He said a speaker should notallow votes on major bills opposed bymost of his caucus.
More than two-thirds of HouseRepublicans voted against the DHS billBoehner offered Tuesday.
Cole, often tasked to explain congres-sional realities, said in an interview: “TheHastert rule’s a rule until it’s not.”
‘There are no plans, no discussions
about removing the speaker.’

Obama, Congress at odds over who’s in controlWASHINGTON (AP) —
An elaborate tug of war hasbroken out betweenRepublican lawmakers and
President Barack Obamaover who calls the shots onmajor issues for the nexttwo years.
On some fronts, Obamahas held his ground. He’swatched near-gleefully asRepublicans bungled earlyattempts to legislate andput their own internal dis-putes on display.
But lawmakers are chal-lenging his authority on for-eign policy. They’re threat-ening to gum up deals thatObama is attempting toforge on Iran, trade and cli-mate change.
In the course of a fewhours Tuesday, HouseRepublicans caved toObama on HomelandSecurity funding and immi-gration. Yet they also antag-onized him by givingIsrael’s prime minister aperch in Congress to railagainst nuclear talks withIran.

Obama announces new education effort to ‘let girls learn’
WASHINGTON (AP) — PresidentBarack Obama has announced a new
government-wide initiativeto help millions of girlsaround the world attend andstay in school.
His wife, Michelle, willalso visit Japan andCambodia in a few weeks topromote it.
Obama says more than 60million girls worldwide do
not attend school.
He says every girl has value and thatnot getting an education limits theiradvancement opportunities and makesthem more vulnerable to societal ills.
Under what’s being called “Let GirlsLearn,” a range of existing governmentprograms will be tied together under asingle, coordinated strategy.
Separately, the Peace Corps and Mrs.Obama’s office will work together on anew program to highlight community-based solutions to help girls attend andfinish school.

Readers blast cheapskatesW
e all want to save a buck, right?Some people (myself included!) havecompletely embraced a money-sav-ing lifestyle. I love getting the most
for my money, but I don’t consider myself tobe a “cheapskate” per se. My moneysavinghabits would not lead me to resort to anythingI consider to be unethical, fraudulent or ille-gal. That’s not the case for everyone though.My readers have been sharing some surpris-ing examples of cheapskates that cross theline between frugality and fraud:
“Dear Jill,When I dine out and choose to order
water as my beverage, that is what I drink— water. I see others ordering water and‘extra lemon’ and proceed to sit there andmake lemonade with the sugar/sweetenersalso provided for normal use. Most restau-rants have lemonade on the menu … is thisnot stealing? If you can’t afford lemonadeor are too tight to buy it, drink water!
Nell T.”“Dear Jill,We frequent a counter-service burger
place. After you order your hamburger andpick it up, you can head to a condimentsbar where there are all kinds of things setout for you to add to the burger you havepurchased: lettuce, tomatoes, onions,cheese, pickles, even things like bacon andfried onion straws.
Several times when we’ve gone there fordinner, we have seen families come in andsit in the back. Mom will go up to thecounter and ask for ‘extra plates.’ When the
restaurant is busy, youcan’t expect the kids atthe counter to know whohas already ordered andwho hasn’t. Mom gets herextra plates and goes toher family’s table to givethem to everyone. Then,they go to the condimentsbar and make ‘free sal-ads’ from the lettuce,tomato, cheese and baconthere. They eat their sal-ads, toss the plates andwalk out.
It makes me so sad because this burgerplace is great. I don’t know if these familiesare cheapskates completely working thesystem or really just can't afford to eat, buteither way it is theft!
Cassie L.”I agree. In both of these scenarios, cus-
tomers are taking advantage of the restau-rants to the point of ridiculousness. It hasnever occurred to me to ask for extralemons and sugar and attempt to create myown lemonade at a table in a restaurant —nor would I have dreamed that peoplewould use a hamburger condiments area asa “free” salad bar. It does make me wonderwhy the restaurants allow people to getaway with these practices (especially in thecase of the burger place.)
Reader Gigi spotted another form offraud at her local store:
“Dear Jill,
There are several people who shop at myarea drugstore who have an entire key ringof loyalty cards for the same store. The bestmoney-back sales that make products freeor cheap are tied to the loyalty card.Instead of these sale items being limited toone per shopper, they will stand there andbuy one item for every card they have onthe key ring. Why doesn't the store just takethe duplicate key cards away? This is fraud,but it's also just plain dishonest.
Gigi C.”I agree. Most drugstore loyalty cards state
in the signup terms that participants arelimited to one card or account per personor per household. I do wonder why storesdon’t confiscate multiple cards when ashopper openly displays multiple cards atthe checkout lane — something I too haveseen. I’ve even seen shoppers with so manyloyalty cards (again, for the same store)that are labeled numerically so that theshopper knows which card goes with whichloyalty reward coupons. I believe the oppor-tunity for stores to do more in this area cer-tainly exists, but at the same time, I wouldguess stores may not want the public rela-tions nightmare of making their employeesresponsible for confiscating multiple loyal-ty cards.
I’m always interested in hearing fromcashiers and retailer employees on theseissues. Got a story to share? Email me [email protected].

The right tool for the job
I’ve written columns before abouthow much easier the right toolmakes the job. Usually I’m talkingabout painting, building trellises or
working with cement or some other out-side chore. This time it is about how theright knife makes prep work easierwhen cooking.
With the right knife in hand everycooking experience will be better. Buythe best you can afford. Those largeblocks of wood filled with all match-ing knives is long gone from mykitchen. I’ve moved on to a collectionof knives I’ve picked up over theyears.
I’m still trying to train my husbandto simply put the knife he uses back
into the niche fromwhich he chose it.Training is such achore.
These are thebasics: a chef ’sknife, paring knife,utility knife and ser-rated knife. Themain thing is tochoose the rightknife for the job andfor your personalcooking style. Youmay need only one.
• Chef ’s knife — a large taperedblade, about 8 inches long, used forchopping, slicing, dicing and minc-ing.
• Paring knife — similar to a chef ’sknife with a tapered blade 3 to 4 inch-es long, used for peeling and slicingfruits and vegetables.
• Utility knife — a larger version ofa paring knife, used for slicing meatsand large vegetables.
• Serrated or scalloped-edgeknife — great for cutting foods withtough skins or crusts such as toma-toes, roasts, ham and breads.
Specialized cutleryDon’t be pressured into buying
pieces you won’t use. If you are anadventurous cook you may want toinvest in a large set but make sure itincludes the knives you really want.Or design your own set by findingknives you like and use.
• Bird’s beak parer — great forworking with round fruits and vegeta-bles. Its small size makes it easy tohandle and a good tool for creatinggarnishes.
• Santoku (Japanese cook’s knife)— makes fast work of large amountsof chopping, and the wide blademakes a helpful scoop.
• Baby chef ’s knife — has an extrawide blade with just the right curveto allow for a good rocking motionwhen chopping and slicing.
• Cheese knife — allows airbetween the food and the blade’s sur-face so the cheese doesn’t stick to itfor a clean cut. The forked tip lets youlift and serve the sliced pieces.
Care of the blades you buyProtect your investment with prop-
er care and storage. Keep knives in aslotted wooden block or a specialdrawer insert with slots for theblades. Knives get dull and nicked ifthey’re stored loose in drawers withother kitchen gadgets or utensils. Youmay choose to attach a magnetic baron the wall for storage, but make sureit’s in a safe zone.
The handles can be wood, plastic,rubber or metal, but it should besecurely attached with several rivets.

Perkins team remains undefeated
It’s finally March. A basketballfan’s dream. Between arguingwith my TV when Joe Lunardiputs Indiana as a 10-seed and
streaming the Atlantic Sun tourna-ment on ESPN3, I find time to enjoysome local madness as well. The 4AEast regional tournament kicks offtomorrow at Sheridan High School,and it should be a good one, especial-ly for the hometown Broncs.
The Sheridan boys enter thetournament as a No. 1-seed, andthe girls are essentially a No.1-seed as well — a lost coin toss withGillette put them at the No. 2-seed.Both teams have an opening roundbye and won’t play until Fridayevening.
But is either team the favorite towin the tournament? How far canthey go?
The Sheridan girls are probablythe best team in the state. Theyfinished the season 19-2, their onlylosses coming to Billings SeniorHigh and Gillette.
Their loss to Gillette was with-out the state’sbest player, jun-ior Robbi Ryan,and it was onlyby three points.Ryan is in the topfive in 4A inevery offensivestat category aswell as steals.She’s second inscoring at 16.4points a game,fourth in assists(4.2), fifth inrebounding (6.8) and second insteals (3.4). In Sheridan’s victoryover Gillette earlier in the season,she scored 29 points to secure anovertime win for the Lady Broncs.
But Ryan isn’t alone. Sheridan point guard Emily
Julian is one of the smartest bas-ketball players in Wyoming. Sheunderstands her role as the team’sguard, and despite Ryan’s stat line,Julian is Sheridan’s leader. She issecond in the class in assists (4.4)and 10th in steals (2.2). Althoughit’s not an official stat, I’d ventureto say she leads the league incharges taken as well.
Dylan Wright’s numbers don’tjump out at you, but she’s effi-cient. She shoots 56 percent fromthe field while averaging nearly 10points a game to go with 1.6blocks.
Sheridan has done all of thiswithout Taylor Townsend, proba-bly the second or third best playerin the class. They are deep, theyare disciplined, and they can flatout play.
Barring any upsets, the bracketpins the Lady Broncs up againstrival Gillette in the regional cham-pionship on Saturday, a rubbermatch between the two top dogs in4A.
For the Sheridan boys, thingsare a little more up in the air.Other than Kris Clark’s league-leading 9.9 rebounds a game, theBroncs have zero players in the top5 of any statistical category. Thatdoesn’t mean Sheridan isn’t good,it just means they do things a littledifferently.
The Broncs finished the season13-7. Their 7-3 record was best inthe conference, good for the topseed in this weekend’s EastRegional. The Broncs win by com-mittee. Dylan Daniels and BlakeGodwin are their go-to offensivethreats, but the Broncs go as manyas 13 players deep a night.
But the region is much tighteron the boys’ side. The differencebetween the top team (Sheridan)and the bottom team (CheyenneSouth) is 4.5 games. South onlywon two games in the conference,but they came in their final twogames against East and Central.
The Lady Broncs, right now, arethe favorite in the region and prob-ably the favorite in the state. Theboys might have a slight edge overthe competition in the region, butthey have a lot less margin forerror.
This weekend should feature alot of good basketball and exposeevery team for who they really are.Sheridan has a chance to do some-thing special.
The run to two state titles beginsFriday.

Kansas ralliesto beat
West Virginiain OT and win
Big 12LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) —
Bill Self has won 190 of the199 games he’s coached inAllen Fieldhouse. This mayhave been the most satisfy-ing, and improbable, ofthem all.
The ninth-rankedJayhawks were down 18points to No. 20 WestVirginia, a team that hadbeaten them on the road twoweeks earlier. They would beoutrebounded 46-34. Two oftheir best players were outof the game. And frombehind the 3-point arc, theywould go 0 for 15.
Somehow they won.Frank Mason III scored
the final six points of over-time and the Jayhawksclinched their 11th straightBig 12 regular season cham-pionship with a 76-69 victoryTuesday night. They missedby only one point of match-ing the biggest comeback inthe 60-year history of AllenFieldhouse.
“We haven’t had a betterwin here for higher stakesthan what that was,” said anexhausted Self.
“As a coach, when youhave good players and youplay well, you should win.But it always means a littlemore when you can’t getanything going and some-how the kids figure out away to do it. It was prettyspecial for me to sit thereand watch those guys pull itoff.”
Mason had 19 points forthe Jayhawks, whose 11straight conference titlestrail only the 13 in a rowUCLA won in the JohnWooden era.
Junior forward PerryEllis, the Jayhawks’ leadingscorer, appeared to injurehis knee late in the first halfand did not return. ForwardCliff Alexander, who isawaiting an NCAA ruling onan eligibility issue, was alsoout.
“Our main goal as a teamwas to get stops, keep fight-ing and keep believing,”said Mason, the startingpoint guard.
Daxter Miles had 23 pointsfor West Virginia (22-8, 10-7),which was without starguard Juwan Staten, whohad scored at least 20 pointsin each of the last threegames against Kansas. Alsoout with an injury wasguard Gary Browne.
“We deserved to win thegame. We really did,” said avisibly upset West Virginiacoach Bob Huggins. “We justdidn’t do enough at theend.”
Kansas, which clinched atleast a share of the titlewith Iowa State’s victoryover Oklahoma on Monday,finally tied it 59-all on twofree throws by DevonteGraham with 11.5 secondsleft in regulation. Miles’ 3-pointer gave West Virginia aquick 63-61 overtime leadbefore Jamari Traylor’sthree-point play made it 64-63.
Mason went 4 for 4 fromthe free throw line in thewaning seconds, the finalshot going in with 4.1 sec-onds to play as theJayhawks completed a 16-0home season.
“Guys were stepping upand we fought back,” saidTraylor, who had 14 points.“We don’t get scared. Wealways know it’s a possibili-ty that we can come back.”
The Mountaineers stunnedthe favored Jayhawks andtheir 230th consecutive sell-out crowd with an 18-4 runin the first half to take a 22-10 lead. Kelly Oubre’s baskethad Kansas ahead 6-4 with16:59 left in the half.

DEAR ABBYPauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips
Was the worst lip-sync dis-aster when Beyonce bombedat President Barack Obama's2013 inauguration or whenAshlee Simpson tried to stayin sync with her pre-tapedvoice on "Saturday NightLive"? When you see such
high-profile screw-ups, yourfirst reaction is probably,"There's something wronghere," followed quickly by,"What were they thinking?"
Well, that was our reactionafter reading a headline andnews report that said a newstudy shows that the benefitsof surgery to repair spinalstenosis were no greater thanforgoing surgery in favor ofmedications (for pain andinflammation) and physicaltherapy, if you look eightyears down the road.
After looking at the study,we found that it bore almostno resemblance to the head-line or report (from a usuallytrusted medical news source).In fact, the opposite seemedto be true. Not only did thestudy state that people whoneeded and got the surgeryreported significant improve-ments in quality of life (lesspain, more mobility), but a
huge percent of the folks inthe study group who weresent for PT and medicationactually opted to have thesurgery a few years later!
The lesson from this cau-tionary tale? If you're consid-ering something as serious asspinal surgery, don't just readheadlines; dig for informa-tion. Then discuss with yourdoctor all your options, andthe benefits and risks TOYOU. Then get a second opin-ion! Second opinions changecare -- even diagnosis -- 30percent of the time.Knowledge is power, and wesay, "Power to the patient!"

AND'S SECRET TEXTINGPUTS HIS WIFE ON HIGHALERT
DEAR ABBY: I was recentlytold by a friend that my hus-band had sent her texts of aninappropriate and sexualnature. My husband didn'tdeny that he sent them andrefused to tell me what hesent.
This woman is envious ofmy husband and jealous ofour relationship. She oftencomments about how she'd
love to have a man like mine,etc. My concern is, he admitshe texted her, but I don'tunderstand why. My intuitiontells me she told me thetruth, but I want to trust myhusband.
Now I'm suspicious. Ialways want to check hisphone, and analyze everyaspect of our life and mar-riage. I feel this has put ahuge wedge between us, and Ino longer feel the same loveand passion for him. Pleasehelp. What do I do now? Is mymarriage over? -- SUSPI-CIOUS IN MICHIGAN
DEAR SUSPICIOUS: Yourmarriage may not be over,but it could be in jeopardy.Considering what has beengoing on, you have everyright to be concerned.
Marriage counseling mayhelp you and your husbandget back on track if he's will-ing to go with you. But if heisn't, then for your own sake,
get counseling on your ownbecause you may need to talkto someone who isn't emo-tionally involved in your tur-moil. It will make youstronger.
DEAR ABBY: Every timemy new wife and I visit mymom or she visits us, mymother scratches my back,rubs my arm, rests her handon my inner thigh, ticklesme, hugs me or touches meany chance she gets. I don'treciprocate or validate thetouching, but I don't discour-age it either. She has beenthis way for so long that I'vejust gotten used to it. I nevernoticed how creepy it wasuntil my wife mentionedsomething.
The problem is, how do Iaddress this with my mother?I don't want to throw my wifeunder the bus as the reasonfor the discussion, but I amnot sure how believable itwill be if I suddenly say after30-plus years that it bothersme. I want the message that Ifeel she should stop touchingme at every opportunity tocome from me. How do I havethis conversation? What can Isay? -- NO MEANS NO
DEAR NO MEANS NO: Say,"I love you, Mom, and I knowI should have mentioned thisbefore, but when you do that,it makes me uncomfortable,so please stop." If she wantsto know why, all you have todo is tell her you know sheloves you, but you think whatshe's doing is excessive.
DEAR ABBY: We go out toeat occasionally with anothercouple I'll call Jack and Jill.Most restaurants aroundhere offer free refills on softdrinks or self-serve. Jack willorder water (free) to drinkwhile Jill orders a soda. Theythen take their empty glassesand refill them with acolorThey see nothing wrongwith the practice. We thinkit's stealing, and we areembarrassed. What are yourthoughts, and how should wereact when this is done infront of us? Lately we havebeen making excuses to avoidgoing out with them. -- EAT-ING WITH CHEAPSKATES
DEAR E.W.C.: I agree thatit's stealing. Jack and Jill aretaking something to whichthey are not entitled. Haveyou spoken to them about it?If you have, then becausetheir behavior makes youuncomfortable, you are justi-fied in not going out withthem.

This birthday galhas portrayed Mona Ster-ling on "Mad Men" since2007 and she's really beenmarried to her TV husband,John Slattery, since 1998.She played a recurring roleon "Homeland" and has ap-peared on episodes of "TheNewsroom," "The GoodWife" and "Elementary."Talia is the daughter ofactor Martin Balsam andactress Joyce Van Patton.
ARIES (March 21-April19): Nothing could be finerthan a problem that isminor. Apply elbow greaseto a passing concern and itwill amazingly vanish. Youappear carefree and more
desirable to the oppositesex.
TAURUS (April 20-May20): There may be changesin work or other schedules.Circumstances could chal-lenge you in such a waythat you're forced to re-assess your goals or actions.This could be highly stimu-lating and motivating.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):Your personal views aremerely a fraction of themain attraction. You mayfeel friskier than usual andattract admiring glances.Don't act inappropriately orlet compliments go to yourhead.
CANCER (June 21-July22): Today's Full Moon mayenergize your mind. Youmay become aware of a
body of ideas or a philoso-phy that lifts your spirits.The exchange of opinionswith others will clarifyyour strengths.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In-stant gratification is not onthe menu. Although youmay emerge victoriousfrom an encounter withsomeone with strong opin-ions, it may take time to seeconcrete benefits.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):The Full Moon falls in yoursign today. This may bringa relationship issue to ahead. Your drive and deter-mination to succeed in acreative endeavor may be akey area of focus.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):Tone down the rhetoric. It'stempting to make sweeping
statements and grand ges-tures, but if you burnbridges you may end up onthe wrong side of the river.You might end up without acanoe, much less a paddle.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.21): You could easily earn areputation as the "quicker-picker-upper" where yourlove life is concerned. Youmay be sexy and attractive,but don't let an upswing inpopularity go to your head.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Emotions can't al-ways be contained. You liketo appear professional, butyour inner feelings couldspill out at the wrong mo-ment. Admit that you havea sensitive side.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19): "Overnight" business
success follows on the heelsof long hours of hard work.If you can just lift your nosefrom the grindstone, you'llsee clearly all you've accom-plished.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18): It more important to befair than to be right. You re-alize that even when deal-ing with pennies it's betterto give a refund than hopeno one notices you made amistake.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March20): Since the Full Moon oc-curs in your opposite sign,you may be drawn closer tothose in close connection.You may be reminded of theneed for a strong commit-ment and allegiance to apartner.
IF MARCH 5 IS YOUR
BIRTHDAY: New friends,new goals or a more enlight-ened way of looking at yourlifestyle will put you in thedriver's seat during the next6-8 weeks. You can show offyour business acumen inApril by making a careerchange or putting money-making ideas into motion.In May, an opportunity toimprove your life may comeknocking, or good advicewill lead you to a more re-spected position.

DAZZLING DEFENSEAND DECLARER-PLAY
Francesco Petrarch, a14th-century Italianpoet, said, "The agedlove what is practicalwhile impetuous youthlongs only for what isdazzling."
This deal features daz-zling bidding, defenseand declarer-play. Whatis the best defenseagainst six spades, andhow can South survive?
When this deal arosein a duplicate, therewere as many differentauctions as tables inplay. The first roundwas predictable, butshould South havepassed over five clubs? Ifnot, should he have bidfive diamonds or fivespades? Then, after Westcontinued with fivehearts despite the unfa-vorable vulnerability,should North havepassed, doubled or bidfive spades or six clubs?Who knows?
In this auction, Northbid five spades, and
South boldly raised him-self to six spades.
I think South shouldhave passed over fiveclubs, but when Westrebid five hearts andNorth passed (assuminghe did), it would havebeen reasonable for himto compete with fivespades.
West led hisheart ace. Then,judging thatSouth would nothave bid sixspades with twolow hearts in hishand, West didbrilliantly to shiftto a club.
Now declarerhad to decide onthe trump split. Ifit were 2-2, hecould drawtrumps ending inthe dummy andrun the clubs. ButSouth felt that,given West's bid-ding, 1-3 was morelikely than 2-2.
Declarer, afterwinning the sec-
ond trick in the dummy,cashed the spade ace,then played high clubs,discarding diamondsfrom his hand. WhenEast ruffed the fourthclub, South overruffed,led a low spade todummy's nine, drawingEast's remaining trump,and claimed.
Hints from Heloise Heloise
A Shell of a ProblemDear Heloise: I often pur-
chase the FROZEN PIESHELLS to bake pies, and Ihave difficulty removing slicesfrom the pan after they arebaked; the pie crust is alwaysstuck. Do you have any sugges-tions for how to make this easywithout breaking up the slices?-- Carole Owings, Wildwood,Fla.
Carol, that's just a plain ...well ... pain! Here are somehints to consider. Switchbrands to see if a different onedoes not stick -- it may be thatsimple. It may be the type of pieyou are baking. If you pre-bakethe pie crust, poke holes in it,bake, then add the filling.
However, if you are bakinga pie with filling (pecan, pump-kin or my fave ... blue- or black-berry!), DO NOT poke the shellwith a fork. Doing so will letsticky liquid seep through andwill cause the crust to stick. Dolet the pie (and crust) cool be-fore cutting.
Last resort? Remove thefrozen crust, grease the pan,put the crust back in and pro-ceed. -- Heloise
COCK-TAILSAUCE
DearHeloise:Every yeararound theholidays, Ibuy a bottleof cocktailsauce. I useonly a small
amount. It sits in the refrigera-tor for several months, then Itoss it out. Is there any otheruse for it? I checked the label,and it only lists shrimp. ShouldI just buy more shrimp? -- Danin McDonald, Ohio
Dan, don't toss the sauce orbuy more shrimp! This sauce isbasically "spicy ketchup," soget adventurous! Put it on burg-ers, hot dogs and fries. It workswith crab, too.
It makes a zingy "dip" whenpoured over cream cheese. Irun a fork through the slab ofsoft cream cheese to score it,then pour on the sauce. Set outwith crackers, and ta-da ...quick-and-easy eating. --Heloise
COFFEE-FILTER CONUN-DRUM
Dear Heloise: I purchased a12-cup coffee maker. It's thesame model as my previousone. The paper coffee filters al-most always collapse, andgrounds end up in the coffee.Any help would be appreciated.-- Bonnie, via email
I have tasted coffee groundsin fresh-brewed coffee! Yes, thesame filters (do be sure theyare the "old" filters) shouldwork. However, I bought some"same brand, same size" filterson the Internet, and they didthis too. You can wet the filterto make it stick -- this shouldhelp. Or try a permanent filterthat you wash out. -- Heloise
HARDENED HONEYDear Heloise: I buy honey at
a big-box store. After a while, itcrystallizes, and I would heat itin a pot of water to thin it out.
I solved my problem by put-ting it into small jars. If itstarts to crystallize, I put it onthe top rack of the dishwasher.When the cycle is finished, thehoney is back to the way it wasbefore. It works perfectly. Justbe sure the lid is on tight. --Shirley L. in Florida
Shirley, this is a HONEY ofa HINT, and I love it! -- Heloise
