Last of the 49 bodies removed from Orlando nightclubORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The last of the

bodies were removed from an Orlando gay nightclub overnight as investigators dug into the background of the gunman, who called 911 to profess allegiance to the Islamic State during the attack that left 49

victims dead.“We will not be defined by the act of a

cowardly hater,” Mayor Buddy Dyer vowed on Monday, a day after the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

The killer, who died in a gun battle with a SWAT team early Sunday, was identified as Omar Mateen, a 29-year-old American-born Muslim. FBI officials said they had investi-

gated him in 2013 and 2014 on suspicion of terrorist sympathies but could not make a case against him.

Mateen opened fire at the Pulse Orlando club with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle in such close quarters that the bullets could hardly miss. He was gunned down after police used explosives and a small armored vehicle to punch a hole in a wall and allow

dozens of club-goers to escape, police said.“I’ve always felt so safe here for my

family, kids. And now, I don’t know,” said Marlon Massey, who lives across the street from the club, in the city known to tour-ists around the globe as the home of Walt Disney World and other theme parks.

Chronic Wasting

Disease raises concerns

JACKSON (AP) — A deadly and degenerative disease is threatening wildlife around Jackson Hole and Cody.

Chronic Wasting Disease has been detected for the first time in a Star Valley mule deer, and two doe mule deer near Cody tested positive in April.

The disease is often fatal and attacks the central ner-vous system of white and mule deer, Rocky Mountain elk and sometimes moose.

The Jackson Hole area has gone years without a positive test in Star Valley, wildlife officials say. A dead doe deer found near Star Valley Ranch in February was recently discovered to be carrying the disease.

Medical researchers say there is no proof the disease can be transmitted to humans, but they do not recommend humans eat meat from ani-mals that test positive for the disease.

Diseased deer in the Cody region were discovered on the South Fork of the Shoshone River last year, and other positive deer have turned up in the Meeteetse and Worland areas in the past, said Alan Osterland, Game and Fish wildlife supervisor in Cody.

The Star Valley incident is in an area that reaches as far north as Alpine and includes an elk feeding ground and large sections of Bridger-Teton National Forest prop-erty.

A year ago, a diseased buck whitetail deer was killed by a hunter in a hunting area that comes within 10 miles of Yellowstone National Park.

The disease has now gone statewide, Sierra Club Wyoming Chapter Conservation Director Lloyd Dorsey said. “Wyoming now has chronic wasting disease literally border to border, east-west and north-south, and it’s approaching Yellowstone National Park and feed grounds and Jackson Hole inexorably,” Dorsey said.

Matheson stays busy keeping court civil

SHERIDAN — If you’ve sat through any proceedings in the Sheridan County courthouse, chances are you’ve seen Steve Matheson standing in the back, quietly ensuring safety and civil-ity.

“Law enforcement presence in the courtroom, right from the start — typically people tend to be more polite,” Matheson said. He wears 18 pounds of gear to work every day, including a bulletproof vest and a tactical belt with pep-per spray, Taser and a gun.

Matheson, who has been in law enforcement for 34 years, is the Sheridan County sheriff’s deputy of court. Sheriff’s deputies used to rotate on the court assign-ment, but Matheson took over full-time three years ago. State law requires his presence, and he understands why.

“Somebody’s going to lose,” he said, of court cases. “Somebody’s not going to be happy.”

When a defendant is convicted and must be taken into custo-dy, he’s been trained to step up

quickly, handcuff the person and not let family members hug. This could fuel the family’s emotions, he said, but more importantly, it could allow them to pass a weap-

on or drug to the defendant, if they were so inclined.

Matheson stays busy, shuf-fling between hearings in circuit court and the two district courts.

“Three court Thursdays,” when each court is in session, can get especially hectic.

COURT : Can’t always see results of workFROM 1

Matheson also monitors more than a dozen courthouse securi-ty cameras — sometimes from his desk, sometimes from his tablet while in court.

Matheson said people can get just as agitated in a small claims court arguing over a couple of hundred dollars as they do during divorce pro-ceedings. He said he looks for signs that someone is upset — for instance, getting red in the face and short of breath — and intervenes early.

“Are you all right?” he’ll ask. Or maybe a simple, “Let’s not do this.”

But mostly he sees people in their better states, having sobered up after being arrested. He’s never had anyone actively resist arrest while in the court-room and only a couple of times has had to get between two peo-ple who were upset.

Matheson grew up in Laramie and moved to Sheridan to fin-ish his final two years in high school.

The move opened his eyes a bit on his hometown.

“I didn’t realize how lousy it was. I came up here and the snow was falling down,” Matheson said, joking.

Matheson went on to grad-uate from Sheridan College, earning a presidential schol-

arship to continue studying at the University of Wyoming. But his hours working as a campus cop began overtaking his study hours and he had to give up his scholarship. Matheson would often put in as many as 60 hours a week at football games, concerts and other school events.

After graduating, he worked for the Buffalo Police Department for 8.5 years before moving to the Sheridan Police Department.

Matheson has seen his share of action during his three-de-cade-plus career in law enforce-ment. He’s held virtually every title at SPD, moving from patrol sergeant to detective ser-geant to detective lieutenant, and more. During the Central Middle School shooting in 1993, he was one of the responding officers.

“An honest cop will tell you they like the excitement, they like the variety,” Matheson said. “And that’s the truth.”

But he also likes the positive impact his work has on individ-uals.

“That does charge your bat-tery when you solve a case, help someone out, get them out of a violent situation,” he said. “You actually do do good. Sometimes it’s not like you can see the immediate result. I mean, that’s the problem with

a lot of cops: They do 20 years and they go, ‘Man, I still see the crime, I still see the stuff.’”

It’s unlike homebuilders, he said, who can drive around town and see the products of their work.

But Matheson said he’s seen a lot of positive change since he started working in Sheridan.

Organizations like the Advocacy and Resource Center and Compass Center for Families, formerly Child Advocacy Services of the Big Horns, “help fill the cracks in the system,” Matheson said.

He’s also seen training for law enforcement officers become more robust, and he believes the judges in place currently — Shelley Cundiff in circuit court and John Fenn and William Edelman in dis-trict court — work well with defendants.

“The judges here are very good with their people skills. They give people an opportuni-ty to vent,” he said.

Matheson thinks this diffuses otherwise tense proceedings and makes defendants more willing to comply with court-room expectations.

In his time off, Matheson likes to bike around the path-ways and camp in the Bighorns with his wife, Stefanie, his high school sweetheart. They have three adult sons.

Coming today: Apple’s next big software improvements

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — With sales of Apple’s flagship iPhone slowing, the spotlight is on the company’s hunt for its next big thing. Apple’s annual software developers conference, which kicks off Monday, will be its next big opportunity to show the world what’s coming next.

Artificial intelligence, and Apple’s wisecracking digital assistant Siri, could play a big role.

Of course, Apple is expected to unveil a number of other advanc-es — software improvements for its iPhones, iPads and Mac computers and a possible overhaul of its music service chief among them. After Apple’s dust-up with the FBI earlier this year over iPhone security, it might also announce new security measures to protect users’ data.

But AI is emerging as a major new tech battleground, one where Apple may have some ground to make up. Siri made a big splash when it debuted five years ago. But as other tech giants jockey to build intelligent “chat bots” and voice-controlled home systems capable of more challenging artifi-cial-intelligence feats, Siri at times no longer seems cutting edge.

MAKING SIRI SMARTER

On Monday, Apple is expected to demonstrate an upgrade to Siri’s smarts. The main question is wheth-er it will be enough to keep up with rivals like Amazon, Google, Facebook and others who are racing to create digital services that consumers will find indispensable for shopping, chat-ting, controlling other appliances and simply getting through their daily lives.

“Google Now has kind of eaten their lunch,” said Chris Monberg, co-found-er of Boomtrain, a startup that makes artificial intelligence software used

by online retailers. Monberg argues that Google’s proactive digital assis-tant provides more useful reminders, recommendations and tips on local weather or traffic, largely because it reads his email and other data from his Android phone and crunches it with sophisticated algorithms on Google’s powerful servers.

Amazon’s Echo home speaker like-wise has its fans; it recognizes infor-mal voice commands and can order flowers, pizza or a ride to the airport. Facebook, Google and Microsoft are also working to incorporate intelligent “bots” into the voice- and text-messag-ing services that people use to chat with their friends.

In some respects, Siri remains plen-ty competitive, at least so long as you stick with Apple’s other services. If an iPhone owner uses Google’s Gmail, for instance, Apple’s software may not scan those emails for useful informa-tion. But Jan Dawson, a tech analyst at Jackdaw Research, notes that Siri can volunteer helpful reminders from the Apple calendar, offer suggestions based on a user’s location, or search for images stored in Apple’s photo app.

GETTING TO KNOW YOU

Apple, however, has been largely unwilling to pry too deeply into your personal information. And some experts say that puts it at a disad-vantage compared to Google, which has compiled vast quantities of data — about both individual users and consumer trends — from its search engine, Gmail, maps and other well-liked online services. (Many of those Google services remain popular on the iPhone, despite Apple’s best efforts to replace them.)

With AI, “systems get much better the more they know about the user,” said Alan Black, an expert in voice-en-abled technology at Carnegie Mellon

University.Apple collects plenty of data from

its users, but hasn’t “focused on con-necting all the dots,” said Raj Singh, co-founder of Tempo AI, an artificial intelligence startup acquired by Salesforce.com last year.

Google, of course, makes money from advertising that’s keyed to indi-vidual interests. Apple, which makes most of its money from iPhones, says its software respects customer privacy by working with an individual’s data on the iPhone or iPad, while ano-nymizing information that’s uploaded to its servers.

“We don’t mine your email, your photos, or your contacts in the cloud to learn things about you,” Apple VP Craig Federighi said at the company’s Worldwide Developers Conference last year. “We honestly just don’t want to know.”

“SIRI, RESERVE MY TABLE”

Apple declined comment on plans for Siri. Last fall, however, Apple acquired a startup that makes AI soft-ware specifically for mobile devices, and another that helps computers carry on extensive voice conversa-tions. And tech news sites have report-ed Apple may loosen its restrictions on Siri’s ability to work directly with other companies’ software. That could enable Siri to book a restaurant res-ervation on command, or order a ride from a car service, rather than show a link to an app like Open Table or Uber and requiring the user to do the rest.

Experts say the quality of Apple’s software and online services is increasingly critical to maintaining its popularity with consumers.

Services like Siri, Apple Music and Apple Pay add significant value to the iPhone and other Apple devices, Dawson said. “They’re important to keeping the Apple ecosystem attrac-tive.”

Gillette social media page for designated drivers draws concern

GILLETTE (AP) — A group that uses social media to connect impaired people with designated drivers is getting some pushback.

The Gillette News Record reported Designated Drivers of Gillette has over 1,000 members on Facebook.

Michael Harmon said his page is not about charging for rides, and that people who do are banned.

DC Cab owner Mark Collins told city council members that these designated drivers sometimes ask for gas money

or other compensation.Need-A-Ride Taxi owner David Roderick said the

Facebook group cuts into his bar business slightly, but that his main concern is safety.

Gillette Police Department Lt. Brent Wasson said asking for gas money means a driver is for-hire under the city taxi ordinance.

Taxi drivers must have proper insurance and pay a $200 annual charge for city licensing.

SHOOTING : Perpetrator not unknown to law enforcement officialsFROM 1

President Barack Obama called the shooting an “act of terror” and an “act of hate” against a place of “sol-idarity and empowerment” for gays.

Law enforcement authori-ties said Mateen made a 911 call from the club in which he professed allegiance to the Islamic State.

Authorities have not said whether Mateen was direct-ed by the Islamic State or simply acted in sympathy with the extremist group in a so-called lone wolf attack. His father suggested anoth-er motive: anti-gay hatred. The father said his son got angry a few months ago when he saw two men kiss-ing in Miami. And Mateen’s ex-wife said he was mental-ly ill — specifically, bipolar.

Mateen was the son of an Afghan immigrant and lived in Fort Pierce, Florida, where he had worked as a security guard.

The Islamic State’s radio called Mateen “one of the soldiers of the caliphate in America.” Al-Bayan Radio, a media outlet for the extremist group, hailed the attack, saying that it target-ed a gathering of Christians and gays and that it was the worst attack on U.S. soil since 9/11.

Even if the attacker sym-pathized with the Islamic State, it was unclear wheth-er the group planned or knew of the attack before-hand.

Mateen’s father, Seddique

Mir Mateen, told reporters Monday that the attack was “against my principles, against what I taught him.”

“I am as sad as the rest of the country,” he said.

He said if had known what his son was planning, he would have arrested him himself: “I don’t allow nobody to do any kind of crime or terrorist act inside the United States.”

Thirty-nine of the dead were killed at the club, and the others died at hospitals, the mayor said. By Monday morning, families of 24 of the victims had been noti-fied, Dyer said.

Workers removed the bod-ies four at a time on stretch-ers and loaded them into white vans. The action was repeated over and over. The covered bodies were taken to the county medical exam-iner’s office. All were there by 11 p.m., Dyer said.

At least 53 people were hospitalized, most in critical condition, and a surgeon at

Orlando Regional Medical Center said the death toll was likely to climb.

On Monday morning, offi-cials emphasized that there was no immediate threat to the public.

The shooting started about 2 a.m., with more than 300 people inside the Pulse, where it was Latin night.

“He had an automatic rifle, so nobody stood a chance,” said Jackie Smith, who saw two friends next to her get shot. “I just tried to get out of there.”

Jon Alamo had been danc-ing for hours when he wan-dered into the club’s main room just in time to see the gunman. “You ever seen how Marine guys hold big weapons, shooting from left to right? That’s how he was shooting at people,” he said.

“My first thought was, ‘Oh, my God, I’m going to die,’” Alamo said. “I was praying to God that I would live to see another day.”

Pulse patron Eddie Justice texted his mother, Mina: “Mommy I love you. In club they shooting.” About 30 minutes later, hiding in a bathroom, he texted her: “He’s coming. I’m gonna die.”

Justice’s name would eventually be added to the list of the dead.

The previous deadliest mass shooting in the U.S. was the 2007 attack at Virginia Tech, where a stu-dent killed 32 people before killing himself.

Mateen was not unknown to law enforcement: In 2013,

he made inflammatory comments to co-workers and was interviewed twice, according to FBI agent Ronald Hopper, who called the interviews inconclu-sive. In 2014, Hopper said, officials found that Mateen had ties to an American sui-cide bomber, but the agent described the contact as minimal, saying it did not constitute a threat at the time.

Mateen bought at least two guns legally within the last week or so, according

to Trevor Velinor of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

Mateen exchanged gunfire with 14 police officers at the club and took hostages at one point. In addition to the assault rifle, he had a hand-gun. Police Chief John Mina said officers held back for some time because Mateen indicated he had a bomb vest.

About 5 a.m., authorities sent in a SWAT team to res-cue the remaining club-go-ers, Mina said.

“My first thought

was, ‘Oh, my God, I’m

going to die.’ I was praying

to God that I would live to

see another day.”

POLITICS : Purchased interest in state newspapersFROM 1

Each room has a different theme including women’s suffrage, ranch land scandals, recipes from the White House and Kendrick’s political campaign covering the state of Wyoming.

“It is interesting how 100 years later, we are still deal-ing with the same issues, such as public land use issues of today,” curator Sharie Prout said.

Kendrick served in the Wyoming State Senate, the Wyoming Stock Growers Association, as governor of Wyoming and then was elected to the U.S. Senate. He also served as president of the American National Livestock Association during his time as senator.

Artifacts in the museum exhibit include newspapers, letters and portraits of political figures who visited Trail End. As you make your way through the home, topics correspond with the type of room.

In Kendrick’s office, the exhibit explores why Kendrick purchased controlling interest in two Wyoming newspapers, The Sheridan Enterprise and The Cheyenne State Leader.

According to the museum exhibit panel, Kendrick

told future governor Leslie Miller in 1912 that he had one interest in the newspapers: “My own investment in the papers was made…for the sole purpose of pro-moting the growth and advancement of the Democratic party in the state of Wyoming.”

The information panel shows how his papers would treat his successes in contrast to other papers in the state. For example The Sheridan Enterprise would have a headline in large, bold print exclaiming his election for governor while another paper would have a small paragraph in small print describing the event.

Other displays include information about prohibi-tion, “scandalous china,” a scandal concerning Eula Kendrick’s inaugural ball gown, Rosa-Maye’s involve-ment in the re-election campaign for Gov. Nellie Tayloe Ross and political cartoons about Kendrick, Francis Warren and Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Warren G. Harding.

Now that summer hours are in effect, Trail End State Historic Site is open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. through Aug. 31, including Independence Day.

Self-guided tours are the norm, but guided tours are available if scheduled in advance.

Sen. Reid aiming for one last campaign win

before he retiresLAS VEGAS (AP) —

Democratic leader Harry Reid said he wishes he could stay in the U.S. Senate for-ever.

So the canny 76-year-old is doing the next best thing as he heads into retire-ment after more than three decades: working the inside game as only he can, to ensure he leaves Democrats in control of the Senate, the White House and his home state of Nevada next year.

Reid hand-picked the Democratic candidate to replace him, former Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto. She is trying to capitalize on presump-tive Republican presi-dential nominee Donald Trump’s unpopularity with Hispanics by playing up the fact that she would be the first Latina elected to the Senate. If she wins in Nevada, Democrats will be well on their way to taking back Senate control after

two years in the minority.Reid interceded in

Nevada’s caucuses in February, helping to get union workers to Democratic presidential caucus sites, which tipped the balance in favor of Hillary Clinton at a moment when Bernie Sanders’ sup-port was surging.

Now Reid is moving all the levers at his disposal to ease the Vermont senator out of the race, subtly and not-so subtly, even as he promotes the idea of liber-al Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., as Clinton’s run-ning mate, something that could be a consolation prize for Sanders’ supporters.

Crash south of Sheridan results in fatality

SHERIDAN — A fatal crash southeast of Sheridan on Sunday resulted in the death of 34-year-old Buffalo resident John Ipes.

The crash occurred at 6 a.m. near mile post 33 on U.S. Highway 14/16 approxi-mately 30 miles southeast of Sheridan.

According to Wyoming Highway Patrol, Ipes was a passenger in a 1999 Chevrolet Suburban driven by 35-year-old Buffalo resi-dent Jennifer Thomas. The Suburban was traveling west on U.S. 14/16 when Thomas swerved to miss a deer. The Suburban was over corrected and exited

the highway to the south where it tripped and rolled multiple times. Ipes was not wearing his seat belt, was ejected and sustained fatal injuries on scene. Thomas was wearing her seat belt, was not ejected and was transported to Sheridan Memorial Hospital in Sheridan where she was hospitalized.

Alcohol is being investi-gated as a contributing fac-tor in the crash that marked the 32nd highway fatality in Wyoming for 2016. There were 56 fatalities during this same time period in 2015. According to WHP, potential charges are pending and the investigation is still ongo-ing.

A personal quest to document IS massacre of Iraqi YazidisDOHUK, Iraq (AP) — The walls and even

the windows of Bahzad Farhan Murad’s office are covered with lists. They name the thousands of people who were killed or are still missing after the Islamic State group launched an attack on unarmed Yazidi com-munities in northwestern Iraq nearly two years ago.

The 28-year-old Yazidi has been docu-menting crimes against his community ever since the August 2014 attack. He is collecting data on as many victims as he can, gathering information on the men who were executed in groups, the women who were captured and forced into sexual slav-ery, the children who were indoctrinated in extremist training camps.

To date, he has conducted hundreds of interviews and produced detailed files on over 2,400 victims.

Murad says his aim is to help the victims by gathering as much evidence as possible to assist a future criminal prosecution and by preserving the historical record.

“I’m pretty sure that if we don’t do it now, after 20 years no-one will remember. And

they will say, ‘nothing happened to the Yazidis,” he said.

Iraq’s Yazidi community — a small and isolated religious minority that com-bines elements of Islam, Zoroastrism and Christianity — has been repeatedly per-secuted by successive governments and invading armies. Murad thinks it is crucial to document the most recent massacres in detail.

“I was told several times by my father and grandfather about the massacres that hap-pened to the Yazidis, how they killed the men and took the children and the women. I was reluctant to believe it because it (the story) was told in different ways by differ-ent people,” he says.

According to the United Nations, about 5,000 Yazidi men were killed by IS militants when they took control of Iraq’s northwest two years ago and thousands more, most-ly women and children, were taken into captivity. Most of the population — some 400,000 Yazidis — were displaced from their homes.

Murad demonstrated his determination to gather detailed accounts when he recently visited a Yazidi woman in a camp for the displaced on the outskirts of Dohuk, a city

in Iraq’s semiautonomous Kurdish region. The woman, who asked to remain anony-

mous because she still fears for her safety, had escaped from the IS-held Iraqi city of Mosul five months earlier. Murad asked her to recount every stage of her capture and time in captivity, repeating every ques-tion, checking every detail and then record-ing the answers on forms.

The woman’s family seemed happy to cooperate. Her brother said she doesn’t know whether any good will come of Murad’s efforts, but that he appreciated his determination to ensure their suffering is recognized.

“The interview was good,” Murad said after an hour, emerging from the tent. “But I need to see her two or three more times because she was in their hands for more than a year. I will document every stage of her story.”

Murad’s quest for detail magnifies what already seems a monumental task.

He photographed each item the woman had with her when she escaped, as he does with all the women he interviews. The pic-tures go into the victim’s file, along with the description of their case and other per-sonal details.

Alongside the case files, his home garage has many boxes of these items: the clothes they were wearing, bags, water bottles, even small bank notes.

He says he’s aware of the danger of taking

on too big a task, but he doesn’t think there is another way to document the extent of the atrocity.

“Everything — the massacres, the disap-pearances — is connected with everything else. It has to be documented in its entire-ty,” he said.

Murad works independently and is self-funded, helped by a few volunteers. Coming from a well-off family, he says he doesn’t have to worry about money and has nothing else to do.

The files are not yet being published; he says he’s merely at the stage of collecting information. He is tentatively planning to display the objects in a museum and pub-lish the case files on a website. Various other Iraqi organizations are also working to document the massacres and disappear-ances, and Iraq’s Kurdish regional govern-ment has exhumed some of the mass graves in which dozens of murdered Yazidi men are buried.

The size of the job doesn’t seem to deter Murad, although he admits that he has felt briefly overwhelmed at times.

“We have to prove for history that it was the fully-planned intention of IS to eliminate the Yazidis, to commit genocide against them. It is for history and for our next generations to know what happened to us,” he said.

Press at 672 -2431.Microsoft to buy LinkedIn for $26.2 billionNEW YORK (AP) — In a

surprise move, Microsoft said Monday that it is buy-ing professional networking service site LinkedIn for about $26.2 billion.

It is by far Microsoft’s largest acquisition, bigger than Skype, which the com-pany bought for $8.5 billion in 2011.

LinkedIn, based in Mountain View, California, has more than 430 million members.

Users can connect with professionals, upload their resumes and search for jobs

on its site and apps.Microsoft Corp. is pay-

ing $196 for each share of LinkedIn Corp., a 50 percent premium over the stock’s closing price of $131.08 on Friday.

The deal is expected to close this year.

LinkedIn will keep its name and independence and Jeff Weiner will stay on as CEO of LinkedIn, reporting to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. Microsoft is based in Redmond, Washington.

For Microsoft, the deal means access to LinkedIn’s hundreds of millions of

users, and an opportunity to cement itself as the tech company for the world’s professionals, helping them find jobs, learn new skills and do their work.

“Together we can acceler-ate the growth of LinkedIn, as well as Microsoft Office 365 and Dynamics as we seek to empower every per-son and organization on the planet,” Nadella said in a statement.

LinkedIn shares soared 47 percent to $193.36 in morning trading Monday. Microsoft shares slipped 3.9 percent to $49.48.

US takes key step in ceding control of internet addresses

NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. government is taking a key step in relinquishing con-trol of the internet’s addressing system, fulfilling a promise made in the 1990s.

The Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration said Thursday that it endorses a March proposal to turn full con-trol over to a private international organi-zation. All that remains is completing some contracts and operational testing. That’s expected to be done in the coming months.

The organization deals with matters

including the assignment of internet suffix-es such as “.com” and “.org” and the oper-ation of the internet’s “root servers,” the master directories for telling web browsers where to find websites. Without them, users would have to remember a set of four numbers rather than “ap.org” to reach The Associated Press’ website, for instance.

Shelter to host ‘Kitten

Shower’ Saturday

SHERIDAN— The Sheridan Dog and Cat Shelter will host its first “Kitten Shower” at the shel-ter on Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The party is being held to raise awareness of the kit-tens coming to the shelter and to gather donations of supplies needed to care for the kittens.

Suggested donations include milk replacement, turkey or chicken Stage 1 baby food, gift cards that can be used for supplies, baby bottles, cans of Iams, Nutro or Sheba brand kit-ten Pate food and clay cat litter.

‘Hamilton’ wins 11 Tonys but fails to break record

NEW YORK (AP) — “Hamilton,” the hip-hop stage biography of Alexander Hamilton, won the 2016 Tony Award for best new musical, cap-ping an emotional night in which many in the Broadway community ral-lied to embrace the LGBT community after a shooting at a gay Florida nightclub.

Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical biography about the first U.S. treasury secretary won 11 Tonys, just short of breaking the 12-Tony record held by “The Producers.”

Jeffrey Seller, producer of “Hamilton,” quoted the show’s lyrics when accept-ing the best musical crown. “Look around, look around. How lucky we are to be alive right now,” he said.

Broadway’s boast of being more diverse than the Oscars was proved, with black actors winning four awards in the acting categories — a history-mak-ing sweep of the musical categories — and whites winning the remaining four for plays.

“Hamilton” went into the night with 16 nominations and, in addition to taking the musical award, won best score, best book, direc-tion, orchestration, chore-ography and best featured actor and actress statuettes for Renee Elise Goldsberry and Daveed Diggs.

Leslie Odom Jr., who plays Aaron Burr, won best actor in a musical and cheered Miranda for “a new vision of what’s possible.” He also thanked his wife, actress Nicolette Robinson

and his parents.The show earlier won

awards for costume and lighting but lost scenic design to “She Loves Me,” meaning “Hamilton” couldn’t break the record haul by “The Producers.” Still, few shows get intro-duced by a sitting president, as Barack and Michelle Obama did for the perfor-mance by the show’s cast.

The awards show unspooled with a heavy heart a night after a gun-man killed 50 people at a gay Florida nightclub, prompting a Broadway tribute to the victims at the top of the show and a smat-tering of references to toler-ance throughout it.

Host James Corden dedicated the night to cel-ebrating the diversity of Broadway.

“Hate will never win. Together we have to make sure of that. Tonight’s show stands as a symbol and a celebration of that princi-ple,” he said.

Barbra Streisand returned to the Tony stage for the first time in 46 years and acknowledged the killings. “Tonight our joy is tinged with sorrow but we’re here to celebrate Broadway and the beauty that artistry can bring into this world.” Art, she said, can “at times like these console us.”

But for much of the tele-cast, the mood was light and typical of an awards show.

Miranda, the star and creator of “Hamilton,” won for best score and book, and during one of his trips to the stage, he read from a sonnet, referencing tragedy and urging “love and love and love....”

For-profit college watchdog under federal scrutiny

BOSTON (AP) — Federal education officials are deciding whether to shut down the nation’s biggest accreditor of for-profit colleges over allegations that it overlooked deception by some of its schools.

The Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools is meant to be a watchdog for hundreds of for-profit schools, wielding the stamp of approval that colleges need to receive federal money. It’s one of many accred-itors authorized by the U.S. Education Department to ensure the quality of schools. But the nonprofit is being accused of employing lax standards and failing to stop schools from preying on students.

Institutions that have operated under the group’s certification include the Corinthian College chain, which closed in 2015 amid fraud allegations, and the ITT Technical Institute chain, which now faces federal charges of fraud. Even after the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau began investigating both in 2013, the coun-cil found no major problems during its own reviews. In 2014, it included two Corinthian schools on its annual “honor roll.”

“If accrediting agencies aren’t will-ing to stand up against colleges that are breaking the law, colleges that are cheating their students, then I don’t know what good they do, and I sure don’t know why we would let them determine which colleges are eligible for federal dollars,” Sen. Elizabeth

Warren, D-Mass., said at a congressio-nal hearing on Corinthian last year.

At least 17 colleges certified by the council have been subject to state or federal investigations, according to an analysis by the Center for American Progress, a liberal public policy orga-nization in Washington. Over the past three years, those schools received more than $5.7 billion in federal money, the group said.

Attorneys general in more than a dozen states, along with other critics, want the Education Department to strip the council of its authority to accredit schools.

The council is up for its regular review this month; it was last approved in 2013.

“This is an outfit that is in the busi-ness of sustaining and aiding and abetting with fraud and abuse,” said Barmak Nassirian, a federal lobbyist for the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. “It’s like a consumer fraud dream come true.”

Council officials declined to be inter-viewed for this story.

Losing recognition would effectively close the council and give its schools 18 months to find new accreditors. Otherwise they would lose access to federal money, the primary source of revenue for most for-profit colleges. Because the council oversees more than 900 schools, some experts question whether it will be spared because of its size.

“The fear of it being too big to fail is the only thing saving it right now,” said Ben Miller, senior director for postsecondary education at the center.

On June 13, 1966, the Supreme Court ruled in Miranda v. Arizona that criminal suspects had to be informed of their constitu-tional right to consult with an attorney and to remain silent.

On this date:In 1525, German theologian

Martin Luther married for-mer nun Katharina von Bora.

In 1842, Queen Victoria became the first British mon-arch to ride on a train, trav-eling from Slough Railway Station to Paddington in 25 minutes.

In 1865, Nobel Prize-winning poet-playwright William Butler Yeats was born in Dublin, Ireland.

In 1886, King Ludwig II of Bavaria drowned in Lake Starnberg.

In 1927, aviation hero Charles Lindbergh was hon-ored with a ticker-tape parade in New York City.

In 1935, James Braddock claimed the title of world heavyweight boxing cham-pion from Max Baer in a 15-round fight in Queens, New York. “Becky Sharp,” the first movie photographed in “three-strip” Technicolor, opened in New York.

In 1942, the first of two four-man Nazi sabotage teams arrived in the United States during World War II. (The eight were arrested after one of them went to U.S. authori-ties; six of the saboteurs were executed.)

In 1957, the Mayflower II, a replica of the ship that brought the Pilgrims to America in 1620, arrived at Plymouth, Massachusetts, after a nearly two-month jour-ney from England.

In 1971, The New York Times began publishing excerpts of the Pentagon Papers, a secret study of America’s involvement in Vietnam from 1945 to 1967 that had been leaked to the paper by military analyst Daniel Ellsberg.

In 1981, a scare occurred during a parade in London when a teenager fired six blank shots at Queen Elizabeth II.

In 1986, Benny Goodman, the clarinet-playing “King of Swing,” died in New York at age 77.

In 1996, the 81-day-old Freemen standoff ended as 16 remaining members of the anti-government group sur-rendered to the FBI and left their Montana ranch.

Ten years ago: President George W. Bush told Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Ma-liki during a surprise visit to Baghdad that the fate of his war-scarred country was in Iraqi hands; for their part, Iraq’s new leaders sought a promise from Bush not to withdraw U.S. troops too quickly. Charles Haughey, the former Taoiseach of Ireland, died outside Dublin at age 80.

Five years ago: Facing off in New Hampshire, Republican White House hopefuls condemned President Barack Obama’s handling of the economy from the open-ing moments of their first major debate of the 2011-2012 campaign season, and pledged emphatically to repeal his historic year-old health care overhaul.

One year ago: Hillary Rodham Clinton formally kicked off her presidential campaign with an outdoor rally in New York where she asked supporters to join her in building an America “where we don’t leave anyone out, or anyone behind.” To scientists’ relief and delight, the Philae spacecraft that landed on a comet the previous fall “woke up” and communicated with Earth after seven long months of silence.

Former GOP senator and Ohio

Gov. George Voinovich dies

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Former Republican U.S. Sen. George Voinovich, a two-term Ohio gov-ernor who preached frugality in his personal and public life and occasionally bucked the GOP estab-lishment, died Sunday. He was 79.

Voinovich, considered a moderate who opposed the size of former President George W. Bush’s tax cuts and later questioned Bush’s war strategy in Iraq, died peacefully in his sleep, his wife Janet confirmed. His death came as a surprise to friends, who said he seemed strong despite some recent health struggles.

He had delivered public remarks Friday at a 25th Slovenian Independence Day event at Cleveland

City Hall. He was a delegate to the Republican National Convention coming to Cleveland next month.

Bush’s father, former President George H.W. Bush, said Sunday that Voinovich was one of his closest political allies and a “quintessential public servant,” who “brought people together, focused on results, and left his state and our country a better place.”

During his 12 years in the Senate, Voinovich occasionally found himself at odds with Republican conservatives. He was an early supporter of a pro-posed federal bailout for the auto industry, which employs thousands of people in Ohio, and he was the rare Republican during the Bush administra-tion to suggest raising taxes to pay for the war in Iraq and hurricane relief.

CONTROL : Some Republicans oppose end of U.S. oversight of internet addressesFROM 4

Although the U.S. role has been min-imal over the years, many foreign gov-ernments have complained that the internet can never be truly international if the U.S. retains veto power. They have sought instead to shift responsibility to an

inter-governmental body such as the U.N. International Telecommunication Union.

But business, academic and civil-society leaders balked, worried that U.N. involve-ment would threaten the openness that has allowed the internet to flourish.

Concerns were also raised that U.N. con-trol would give authoritarian states like

China and Iran equal votes among other countries in influencing policies that affect free speech.

Lawrence E. Strickling, assistant secre-tary for communications and information at the Commerce Department, said the endorsed plan won’t replace Commerce’s role with a government-led or inter-govern-mental solution.

Rather, ICANN will take full control after creating additional mechanisms to resolve

disputes. ICANN has participants from business, academic and other communities in addition to governments.

Some congressional Republicans oppose the end of U.S. oversight, even to a body that includes non-government representa-tives. They say current budget laws prevent Commerce from spending money on these efforts.

But the transition itself does not require congressional approval.

Lights drown out Milky Way for one-third of world’s population

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — More than one-third of the world’s population can no longer see the Milky Way because of man-made lights.

Among those missing out on awe-inspiring Milky Way views: nearly 80 percent of North Americans and 60 percent of Europeans.

These are the findings of a new global atlas of light pol-lution, published as part of a scientific paper Friday.

More than four-fifths of Earthlings now live beneath skies polluted by artificial light, which blocks out the Milky Way for more than a third of them, according to the research.

“I hope that this atlas will finally open the eyes of peo-ple to light pollution,” lead author Fabio Falchi said in a statement. He is with the Light Pollution Science

and Technology Institute in northern Italy.

Tiny Singapore is the most light-polluted country; the entire population loses out on seeing the true night sky. Kuwait and Qatar are close runners-up. On the opposite end of the spectrum — coun-tries whose populations are exposed to the least light pollution — are Chad, Central African Republic and Madagascar.

Falchi and his team mem-bers warn the problem affects more than astrono-mers. It’s profoundly altered a fundamental human expe-rience, namely that of pon-dering the night sky.

Co-author Christopher Elvidge, a scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Centers for Environmental Information in Boulder, Colorado, bemoans the fact that “whole generations” of Americans have never seen

the Milky Way.“It’s a big part of our con-

nection to the cosmos — and it’s been lost,” he said in a statement.

The situation is even worse for some animals. Artificial light can confuse insects, birds and sea tur-tles, with deadly results. There’s also the waste of energy and money, the researchers point out.

The National Park Service’s Dan Duriscoe, a co-author, noted that some national parks in the West like Yellowstone are among the last refuges of darkness in the U.S. Urban light a few hundred miles away or more can spoil nighttime vistas, even in pristine fed-eral land like Death Valley National Park in Southern California.

The report — which appears in the journal Science Advances — is based on new satellite data and special software.

Closing arguments underway in congressman’s corruption trial

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Closing argu-ments are underway in the federal corrup-tion trial of U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah and four co-defendants.

The 11-term Philadelphia Democrat is accused of taking an illegal $1 million cam-paign loan from a friend to help pay for his failed mayoral bid.

Prosecutors say he also used federal grants and nonprofit funds to enrich his family and friends.

Defense lawyers say Fattah’s former

political consultants are responsible for the financial wrongdoing. Two have pleaded not guilty and testified against the con-gressman.

The $1 million loan came from Albert Lord, the former CEO for Sallie Mae.

Fattah’s son is serving a five-year prison term in a related case. His co-defendants include Herbert Vederman, a former depu-ty mayor of Philadelphia.

Fattah lost his bid for re-election in the April Democratic primary.

Penguins cap turnaround season with 4th Stanley Cup

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Back in December, the Pittsburgh Penguins looked like a lost team bound to miss the playoffs.

Sidney Crosby and the offense couldn’t score, the offseason acquisitions such as Phil Kessel and Nick Bonino had yet to click and coach Mike Johnston was fired. Six months to the day after coach Mike Sullivan took over,

the Penguins are champions again.

Led by Crosby’s dominant play on both ends of the ice, speed that opponents struggled to match and a rookie goaltender who showed an uncanny ability to bounce back from rare shaky performanc-es, the Penguins won their second title of the Crosby era — seven years to the day after last holding the Cup.

“I have a greater appreciation this time around,” Crosby said.

“At a young age, going back-to-back like we did, you just think it’s going to be an annual thing. With the core we have, you think everyone’s going to stay together, the team’s not going to change. But it does. That’s kind of the reality of playing hockey.”

The turnover this season was a major reason for the turnaround in fortunes after six straight years of playoff disappointments.

General manager Jim Rutherford acquired the entire

“HBK line” of Carl Hagelin, Nick Bonino and Phil Kessel over the past 12 months, Matt Murray stepped in as goalie when starter Marc-Andre Fleury got hurt and rookies such as Conor Sheary and Bryan Rust delivered clutch play-off performances.

Throw in mainstays such as Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang and the Penguins had the right ingredients to win it all.

Local football players shine at annual Shrine Bowl

CASPER — In each of the big plays made by the North team at the Shrine Bowl, a Sheridan County player was behind it.

It was the North team who came out on top, 41-26, over the South at the annual football game that features the top senior players in the state.

Representing the North was Sheridan’s Zach Campbell, Riley Sessions, Davis Alden, Evan Coon and Dontae Crow, along with Big Horn’s Collin Powers and Brice Beisher and Tongue River’s Dillon Lyons.

The game did not start out promising for the North. Finally, though, after the first three offensive drives stalled, Crow got his hands on a bubble screen pass and went more than 30 yards for the touchdown. The North scored again in the second quarter to tie it up at 13 heading into the half.

The second half was all North. Crow grabbed a pass from Big Horn quarterback Powers late in the third quarter for the receiv-er’s second touchdown.

Crow finished the game with 133 yards receiving and seven receptions to take home the honor of offensive player of the game.

“I was just confident the entire time, and

I was just excited to go out there and make plays,” Crow said. Crow will walk on at the University of Wyoming next fall.

Powers, who didn’t get too many snaps behind center, still made the best of his oppor-tunities. He completed 3 out of 5 pass attempts for 50 yards and one touchdown and scram-bled for 24 yards.

Defensively, the Broncs led the way as well. In the third quarter, Sessions took an inter-ception 30 yards for a score, which put the game on ice for the North squad. Campbell also blocked an extra-point attempt.

Pollard, Williams win

state rodeo buckles

SHERIDAN — Two belt buckles made their way back to Sheridan County over the weekend.

Saije Pollard and Wheaton Williams secured wins in the average of their respec-tive events at the Wyoming high school state finals rodeo, crowning them state champions.

Pollard followed her first-go, first-place performance in goat tying with a sec-ond-place time of 9.10 sec-onds in the second go-round, earning her an average time of 18.17 seconds.

Wheaton Williams closed out a strong junior team-roping season with a second-place ride of 7.61 seconds alongside partner Jerren Johnson of Casper.

The two cowboys had been chasing Kellan and Carson Johnson all season and trailed them by two-tenths of a second after the first go. But the two Johnsons failed to place in the top-10 Friday, giving Williams and Jerren Johnson the title in the event with a 13.1-second average.

Montana girls cut

Wyoming comeback

short to split series

BILLINGS — It seemed as if it was over. The Montana girls All-Stars went on a tear to close out the third quarter and take a 47-31 lead over Wyoming.

But the Wyoming girls never quit. And despite an eventual 62-56 loss, they cut it to 5 in the fourth quarter and kept Montana on its heels.

Head coach Frank McCarthy switched to a full-court trap, which caused fits for the Montana back court.

“The press kind of made (Montana) go fast, too,” McCarthy said. “It kind of opened things up, made them take some quick shots, and they had a couple turn-overs.”

The poor shots and turn-overs helped Wyoming cut into the deficit, but it was still a 14-point game with five minutes to play.

But the Gillette duo of Brooke Cargal and Jessie Geer took over.

Cargal drained back-to-back 3-pointers, and sud-denly it was just a 9-point game a minute later. Geer followed with a steal and easy layup to cut it to 7, and Worland’s Haley Schneider knocked down some free throws to give Wyoming its smallest deficit since the first half.

Montana’s 3s bury Wyoming All-StarsBILLINGS — The 3s rained all over the

Rocky Mountain College gymnasium Saturday as the Montana boys All-Stars cruised to a 102-81 win over the Wyoming All-Stars.

Montana outscored Wyoming 27-16 in the final quarter to put the game away and com-plete the weekend sweep. The win was the 10th straight for the Montana boys.

While Montana controlled most of the night, Wyoming’s best stretch of the weekend came immediately out of the halftime break.

Wyoming cut the deficit to 3 twice in the second quarter and used that energy to create some momentum out of the locker room. After trailing 46-38 at the break, Wyoming’s intensi-ty increased as the team created better scoring opportunities on the offensive end.

Mr. Basketball Hoyt Nicholas scored 8 straight points to start the half — by far his best stretch of basketball throughout the week-end. He hit back-to-back 3-pointers to make it a 1-point game, and a fadeaway jumper gave the Wyoming All-Stars their first lead of the night.

But the lead didn’t last.The barrage of 3s began on the ensuing

Montana possession. The Montana All-Stars hit four straight 3s — one the old fashioned way, a basket and a foul — and they regained a 62-57 lead over Wyoming at the five-minute mark of the third quarter.

Wyoming hung around, but the lead grad-ually increased as Montana traded 3s for 2s. Montana hit six 3-pointers in the quarter.

Gillette’s Kain Morehead drained a pretty midrange floater at the buzzer to keep the defi-cit at 10, but it wasn’t enough to get Wyoming going.

Montana continued to stretch its lead. They went up 14 midway through the fourth quarter before taking the 21-point victory.

Despite the loss and frustration amongst the Wyoming players and coaches, the eyes weren’t on the Wyoming All-Stars after the game.

With the seconds winding down and the game clearly over, Montana’s Brandon The Boy made a dribble move and bounced the ball between his defender’s legs as he tried to get a reaction out of the hometown crowd.

The move drew a few “oohs” and “ahhs” from the fans, but it also drew some unpleas-ant looks from the Wyoming bench.

Wyoming head coach Matt Hammer put it in perspective with his players after the game, telling them a loss isn’t as bad as pulling a move like that when the game is already over and players are walking to the bench to shake hands.

It was a tough night for the Wyoming All-Stars to cap off a weekend that just didn’t go their way.

Nicholas led Wyoming with 20 points. Cheyenne East’s Elijah Oliver added 19, and Morehead scored 12. Sheridan’s Blake Godwin chipped in 2.

Montana had five players in double figures, led by Mr. Basketball Dane Warp with 19.

“Our kids really battled; they stuck with it,” McCarthy said. “Montana’s a tough team. They’re big and physical, and of course came ready to play today. But our girls kept with it and really represented the state well. I told them after the game there’s no reason to put their heads down.”

Wyoming couldn’t get any clos-er than 5, but it was a valiant effort for a team that trailed by as many as 18 in the second half.

McCarthy credited this year’s group for never getting down on itself, calling it one of the best groups he’s coached in his 15 years coaching the all-stars.

“I really enjoyed this group of girls,” McCarthy said. “They

were always on time; they were courteous and respectful; they were very coachable. They were all bought in, so this was one of my better weeks doing this. I really enjoyed it.”

After earning a solid win Friday, the Wyoming All-Stars had to play in front of the tough Montana crowd as fans filled the hot Rocky Mountain College gym to cheer on the local girls.

It was St. Labre’s Shiloh McCormick who kept the crowd on its feet for most of the night, something she was accustomed to doing during her high school tenure.

McCormick closed her career with 2,214 points and was an all-state selection all four years of high school. She was named Montana’s Ms. Basketball before

the start of Saturday’s contest.She finished with 20 points,

including two 3-pointers in the third quarter that helped Montana stretch its lead to dou-ble figures.

Schneider finished with 17 points to lead Wyoming, includ-ing a 7 of 10 night from the free-throw line.

Geer added 14, and Cargal chipped in 9 — all from behind the arc.

Warriors’ Green

suspended for Game 5

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Through all of the crit-icism and accusations of dirty play, Draymond Green vowed to keep pushing as hard as he possibly could to help deliver another cham-pionship to Golden State.

That win-at-all-costs men-tality has suddenly opened the door for LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers to get back into the NBA Finals, and added an extra edge to a burgeoning rival-ry.

Green was suspended for Game 5 on Monday night after the league assessed a Flagrant 1 foul for striking James in the groin during a scuffle in the closing min-utes of the Warrior’s Game 4 victory Friday night.

James and Green got tangled up on the play, and James stepped over Green as the two got up — a move widely viewed as a show of disrespect in league cir-cles. Green then swiped at James’ groin in retaliation and threw another jab that did not connect.

“There’s no way you can say this is an acceptable act,” Kiki VanDeWeghe, the NBA’s executive vice president of basketball oper-ations, told The Associated Press in a phone interview.

Especially for a player like Green, who entered the finals one flagrant foul or two technicals short of a mandated suspension.

“History probably didn’t help Draymond,” Warriors center Andrew Bogut said. “When they reviewed it, that’s probably what helped them get to their decision.”

Commissioner Adam Silver put the hard-nosed, emotional leader of the defending champion on notice before the start of the rematch with Cleveland when he said that the Competition Committee would in the offseason be reviewing Green’s penchant for wildly flailing his legs on jump shots and rebounds.

Green was given a Flagrant 2 foul and fined $25,000 for kicking Oklahoma City’s Steven Adams in the groin during the Western Conference finals and picked up a Flagrant 1 for throwing Rockets forward Michael Beasley to the ground in the first round. Green also kicked Cavs guard Kyrie Irving in the chest - inadver-tently, Green said - in Game 1 of the finals, which was not penalized by the league.

“You have to do what you think is right for the play,” VanDeWeghe said, “and unfortunately Draymond put himself in this posi-tion.”

Westbrook says he won’t play for US basketball in Olympics

The U.S. Olympic basketball team has lost an All-NBA back-court this week.

Russell Westbrook said Friday he wouldn’t play for the Americans in Rio, just days after Stephen Curry also withdrew from consideration.

Westbrook decided not to play after talking with his family. He didn’t give a reason for pulling out in his statement released through the Oklahoma City Thunder.

“This was not an easy decision, as representing my country at the World Championships in 2010 and the Olympics in 2012 were career highlights for me,” Westbrook said. “I look forward to future

opportunities as a member of USA Basketball.”

Curry, the unanimous NBA MVP, pulled out Monday, saying he wanted to rest recent knee and ankle injuries.

Curry and Westbrook were the first-team guards on the All-NBA team, and among the reasons the point guard position was consid-ered a strength for the Americans.

But with their absences after Chris Paul declined to play and John Wall was injured, the two-time defending gold medalists are down to just Cleveland’s Kyrie Irving, Portland’s Damian Lillard and Memphis’ Mike Conley at that position. Lillard was cut before the 2014 Basketball World Cup and was the last player added to USA Basketball’s 31-player roster pool.

STANLEY CUP: Sydney Crosby named playoff MVP despite not scoring a goal in FinalsFROM B1

But it all starts with Crosby, who set up Letang’s game-winner midway through the second peri-od and Patric Hornqvist’s emp-ty-netter that sealed the 3-1 vic-tory over the San Jose Sharks on Sunday night that gave Pittsburgh its fourth title.

Despite not scoring a goal in the final, Crosby controlled the play with his committed defense, strong performance in the faceoff circle and playmaking ability that earned him the Conn Smythe tro-phy as playoff MVP.

“It places him up there with the greats of the game of all-time,” Sullivan said. “He’s that good in my mind. I’ve said all along here through the course of the play-offs, he’s deserving of the Conn

Smythe. His numbers don’t indi-cate the impact he had on helping this team win, or the impact he had on a game-to-game basis. He was a great leader for our team.”

Three nights after squander-ing a chance to become the first Pittsburgh team to win a title in front of the home fans in 56 years, the Penguins finished the job on the road just like they did in Minnesota (1991), Chicago (1992) and Detroit (2009) in past title runs.

The championship in Detroit was supposed to be the first of many for a team led by players like Crosby and Malkin. But a series of concussions cost Crosby almost an entire season and a half, and there were those playoff dis-appointments that included twice blowing 3-1 series leads. There

was no second celebration in the Crosby era — until now.

“It’s so hard to win it year after year,” said Lemieux, who won back-to-back titles and Conn Smythe trophies as a player for Pittsburgh. “For them to be able to come through this year and win their second Cup is big. Hopefully there’s a few more for them.”

This didn’t seem as though it would be a season to remember back in early December. But the Penguins found their stride under Sullivan and took off in March.

“Everyone takes that personal, puts the responsibility on their shoulders to be better,” Crosby said. “I think individually and as a group we had high expectations, we knew we needed to be better. I thought we just slowly got better and better.”

Pittsburgh knocked off the New York Rangers in the first round, Presidents’ Trophy-winning Washington in round two and then rallied from a 3-2 series deficit to beat Tampa Bay in the Eastern Conference final.

The Penguins were in control for almost the entire final. They did not trail until Game 5 at home and responded to a strong push from San Jose in the clincher to avoid a decisive seventh game.

Pittsburgh held San Jose to just one shot on goal in the first 19 minutes of the third period to preserve the one-goal lead. The Penguins sealed it when Crosby blocked a shot from Marc-Edouard Vlasic that set up Hornqvist’s empty-netter.

“In the playoffs, suddenly we thought we could beat any team,”

Malkin said. “We tried to play the same game we played in 2009.”

Logan Couture scored the lone goal for the Sharks, who were making their first trip to the final in their 25-year history. Martin Jones made 24 saves and was San Jose’s best player for the series.

“The end is like hitting a wall,” coach Peter DeBoer said.

While the season ended in dis-appointment, it also was a bit of a breakthrough for Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau and the rest of a franchise that had been known for playoff collapses, most notably in 2014 when the Sharks blew a 3-0 series lead in the first round to Los Angeles.

“We thought we had the team, going through the teams we did in the West,” Thornton said. “It’s just tough right now.”

NORTH: Lyons broke hand in 3rd quarterFROM B1

Northern Colorado University com-mit Coon plowed through the defense at fullback.

He scrambled for 71 yards on the day to set up the offense with several scor-ing opportunities, including the crucial drive late in the first quarter to tie the game at 13.

Tongue River’s Lyons had his play time cut short after he broke his hand in the third quarter, but he said he still had a lot of fun getting out on the field.

“This week was awesome. I had a great week meeting new kids and vis-iting kids with the Shriner’s. It was just a good time,” Lyons said. Lyons will also continue playing at the next level and will walk on at Chadron State University in the fall.

Beisher made his last performance on the gridiron his best by shutting down the passing game with his play at cor-ner.

“It hasn’t hit me yet,” Beisher said when asked about his last game. “I’m just really excited about the win.”

RODEO: Locals dominated breakawayFROM B1

While Pollard and Williams had the top results for the weekend, Friday’s second go-round featured some top rides for plenty of other local riders.

Makenna Balkenbush edged Pollard in goat tying to take first with her 8.21-second ride. Balkenbush added a fourth-place ride in pole bending, and Pollard took third in barrel racing, as well.

Sheridan County dominated the break-away roping event, taking four of the top 10 spots.

Shyanna Cahoy won the event with a 2.53-second run, and Madison Wilkerson was second at 2.89 seconds. Delani Cunningham (3.18) and Kade Koltiska (3.26) took fifth and sixth, respectively.

Rounding out the top-10 finishers for the round were Jenna Hoffman, who took ninth in pole bending, and Cricket Cunningham with an eighth-place goat-tying perfor-mance.

Emmy Ilgen also took fifth in girls cutting.The final event of the season will be the

National High School Finals Rodeo in Gillette July 17-23.

DEAR ABBYPauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips

As he approached his 11th decade, the great vaudeville, radio, film and television comedian George Burns said, “I was brought up to respect my elders, so now I don’t have to respect anybody.”

But until you live to such

a ripe old age, it’s a good idea to respect your elders and offer them a bit of extra attention and understanding. That’s because in addition to being older and wiser, the elderly also have to contend with pain that’s more pro-nounced and lasts longer.

Researchers from the University of Florida tested the pain response of a group of volunteers with an average age of 21 and an older group, average age 68. They found that while both groups were exposed to similar levels of pain, in older adults, the levels of cytokines -- immune system markers of inflamma-tion that indicate the pres-ence of pain -- were higher and stayed elevated longer. The researchers recommend

that older adults should not tough it out, but instead treat pain early.

Our take? Whatever your age, you should do every-thing you can to reduce inflammation so that there’s less pain later. Avoid inflam-matory foods like red meats, added sugars and syrups, processed grains and trans fats. Enjoy regular physical activity (we say 10,000 steps daily, 30 minutes of resis-tance exercises weekly and 20 minutes of sweat-producing exercise three times a week). Quell your stress response by meditating 10 minutes daily. As George Burns also said: “The single most important key to longevity ... is avoid-ing worry, stress and ten-sion.” He lived to be 100.

WIDOW’S THOUGHTFUL BEAU IS GENEROUS TO A FAULT

DEAR ABBY: I’m a widow and have been seeing some-one for two years. He often stays at my home. He treats me well, but we have differ-ent tastes in furnishings. He brings me trinkets and tacky accessories from his home

that I do not display. My spare bedroom closet is filled with these unwanted items. He knows I can afford to buy the things I like.

Recently he gave me two gifts -- both new -- neither of which I feel are appropri-ate for me. I appreciate the thought, but why would he continue to do this? He can clearly see they are not on display in my home, which would indicate I don’t like or want them.

This man is not a cheap-skate. He takes me for nice dinners, movies, brings flowers and chocolates as well. I don’t want to hurt his feelings. Should I continue to accept the gifts and pretend

I’m thrilled? I don’t want to appear to be ungrateful or spoiled, because he is kind and generous. -- JANE DOE IN THE SOUTH

DEAR JANE: Before this man spends any more money on gifts you put in a closet, have a talk with him. Explain that while you appreciate the thought behind the trin-kets he gives you, you have different tastes, and suggest that the next time he wants to give you something that you pick it out “together.” (It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see a yard sale in your future.)

DEAR ABBY: My 85-year-old mother is in a dysfunc-tional relationship with my 50-year-old, alcoholic broth-er. He lives with her rent-free and abuses her emotionally and verbally. It has gotten physical at times, although she says he has never hit her.

He was recently arrested for domestic violence against his girlfriend, who is a drug addict. Mom has dialed 911 more than once, but the last time she told the officers it was a “mistake” because he’s on probation, and she didn’t want him to go to jail.

I’m at a loss about what to do because if I have social services look into it, I risk ruining my relationship with my mom, and she’s not in the best of health. Should my sib-lings and I take a stand, step in and do something about it? -- WANTS TO HELP MOM

DEAR WANTS TO HELP: By all means! A report should be made to adult protective services in your state because elder abuse can involve emotional and finan-cial exploitation of a vulnera-ble adult, as well as physical abuse.

DEAR ABBY: I am a Southern girl born in Virginia, now living in Florida. I have an accent. Why is it that people make fun of your accent when you are from the South, but not from up North? -- PONDERING IN FLORIDA

DEAR PONDERING: I’m not sure your assumption is correct. I have heard people imitate Boston and New York accents as well as Southern accents. Years ago, an Australian gentleman used his “American accent” on me, and had me fooled for about 15 minutes. I assume people do this because they think it’s funny and not out of a desire to hurt anyone’s feelings.

P.S. Isn’t imitation the sin-cerest form of flattery?

Omarr’s Daily Astrological Forecast Jeraldine Saunders

BIRTHDAY GAL: Ac-tress Lucy Hale was born in Memphis, Tenn., today in 1989. This birthday gal has starred as Aria Mont-gomery on “Pretty Little Liars” since 2010. She’s also appeared on episodes of “How I Met Your Mother,” “Baby Daddy,” and “CSI: Miami.” She starred in the TV movies “Sorority Wars” and “Fear Island” and ap-peared on the big screen in “Scream 4.” Hale will next star in the upcoming com-edy film “Dude.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Stand out in the crowd by being overtly original. While everyone else strug-gles to keep relationships on an even keel you have the energy to strike out on your own. Your blunt and honest approach carves out a better path.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t make a mess with your moolah. If you are in a rush to be a trendsetter or give in to impulse buy-ing you could throw good money after bad. Sidestep unnecessary expenditures and avoid making crucial commitments.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Someone may be swept off their feet by your pure animal magnetism. It may be tempting to dump an existing relationship for a new playmate. Satisfaction may elude you if you start a new relationship or sign a contract.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Make truth and beauty a reality. You don’t need to tell a lie to put a positive spin on your job, hobby, re-lationship, or financial situ-ation. You will work best in

a quiet place where you can give free rein to creativity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Share and share alike. You may be persuaded to chip in and contribute to the group pot by the feeling it is a moral obligation. Commu-nication can be important to your career so don’t ig-nore a phone call, email, or message.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be a friend and others will be friendly. At the same time, do not read too much into anyone’s offer of un-dying love. If you remain detached and do not allow intimacy to develop too quickly a new relationship can grow.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your emotional armor may need polishing. Even your closest companions may seem deliberately antag-

onistic and could target a few of your sensitive spots. Avoid making any crucial changes, promises or deci-sions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Lounge around on your most comfortable laurels. Avoid initiating any new projects or investments. You and your partners will benefit people who offer en-couragement, reassurance, or uncompensated assis-tance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may feel you have the most even when you have the least. An in-tense desire to succeed may force your hand or cause overconfidence. You could easily clash with the very people who could help you the most.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It is easy to exceed

everyone’s expectations. Actions can speak louder than words and will drown out controversy. Go all-out to make your sweetie proud or to get recognition on the job for a job well done.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Crying over spilt milk will not refill the bottle. If the tried and true hasn’t worked in the past you might be disloyal to those who urge you to stick with the tried and true. Try some new and less traditional tactics.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Work to dispel rumors of trust issues. Boost your reputation by showing oth-ers that you are committed to helping them achieve their own happiness or suc-cess. Don’t be upset if rele-vant facts and figures are briefly obscured.

IF JUNE 14 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Throughout the upcoming six to eight weeks it will pay to remem-ber that a little acorn to grow a mighty oak. New connections and group ac-tivities can open some doors for you and help you widen your horizons. People who have your best interests at heart will be drawn closer. Take advantage of any op-portunity that sprouts up in August but don’t be ex-travagant. You may be too restless for your own good and relationships may tem-porarily be rocky. Remain rooted to the tried and true. Your best bet is to wait until February to make a major change or to break off an existing relationship.

PICKLES

Bridge Phillip Alder

As you know, there are several aphorisms about bridge. For exam-ple, “second hand low” and “third hand high,” which are right most of the time. This week, let’s look at “cover an honor with an honor.”

Today’s deal is a text-book example. How does the play go in three no-trump after West leads the heart queen?

South is loath to open one no-trump with a low doubleton, but the bid describes his hand type and strength so accu-rately.

Declarer starts with seven top tricks: one spade, one heart, two diamonds and three clubs. If the clubs break 3-3, that will provide an eighth winner. Then, if the spade finesse works, the contract will make. With the heart suit wide open, South cannot afford to give up a diamond. So, de-clarer wins the second

heart and cashes his top clubs. Now East must be careful, discarding a diamond.

Has East made an error, throwing a dia-mond from an initial three-card holding (so diamonds are now 2-2)? South takes his diamond king, then plays a di-amond to dummy’s ace. Again luck is out to lunch -- West accurately throws a heart.

It is time for spades. Declarer calls for dummy’s queen. Note that if East covers with the king, South wins with his ace, then leads a low spade

to dummy’s nine. That finesse works too, and declarer makes his con-tract with three spades, one heart, two diamonds and three clubs. But if East plays low, the con-tract can be defeated.

Hints from Heloise Dear Readers: Today’s

SOUND OFF comes from a reader who’s concerned about strang-ers having access to his private information. He wrote: “I realize how important it is to donate blood, but I have stopped doing so. Every time I go, I have to give every bit of ID information to complete strangers (al-ways a different person). I have a Red Cross card, but I still must give ver-bal answers to requests, including my Social Se-curity number.” -- Tony in Fullerton, Calif.

Tony, there are many more reasons to donate than not. Just check out the Red Cross website if you ever need a reason to continue doing what you’re doing. -- Heloise

FAST FACTSDear Readers: Here

are some other uses for shower caps:

* Have workmen place them over their shoes

before coming into your house.

* Place over food dishes at picnics or bar-becues to keep the bugs off.

* As a pie-tin cover when reusing the tin for transporting cookies, fudge, etc.

* Cover a seedling for a mini greenhouse.

* Place over hotel-/motel-room phones to cut down on the spread of germs.

-- Heloise CAKE RECIPESDear Heloise: When I

bake cakes, I use a tooth-pick to check if the cake is done.

Lately, I’ve been try-ing my hand at baking thicker cakes, and now a toothpick isn’t long enough to check for readiness. Any hints on what I can use that is as thin as a toothpick? -- Jeri F. in San Diego

Jeri, for thicker cakes, try an uncooked

spaghetti noodle. It’s actually long enough to go all the way down to the bottom of the pan. I have many other baking hints in a pamphlet that also includes some of my mother’s favorite recipes for you to try, since you’re trying your hand at baking. To get a copy of Heloise’s Cake Recipes pamphlet, send $3 and a stamped (68 cents), self-addressed, business-size envelope to: Heloise/Cake Reci-pes, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. You also can order on my website, www.Hel-oise.com. Baked goods, especially those that are homemade, are always a hit during any occasion. With each recipe you take a crack at, try stir-ring your own creative juices, and see what you can come up with! -- Hel-oise

Your Right To Know and be informed of government

legal proceedings is embodied in public notices. This newspaper urges every

citizen to read and study these notices.

We strongly advise those seeking

further information to exercise their right of

access to public records and public meetings.

Can’t make it to Rio to see the Summer Olympics? Then it’s time for your OWN Silly Summer Games!

The motto of the Olympic Games is “Faster, Higher, Stronger.” Kid Scoop’s Silly Summer Games has a motto, too. Use the code to discover it!

Standards Link: Science Investigations: Find similarities and differences in common objects.

Create this goofy headgear to wear during the Silly Games. You’ll need:

• Brown paper sack• The newspaper• Construction paper• Tape / glue stick• Scissors

The frigid fun begins with this ceremonial event.

Give each participant an ice cream cone with one scoop of their favorite

flavor. The winner is the person who can finish

their cone with the fewest licks and drips.

Roll the paper bag down a few inches to create a brim.

Cut out long strips of newspaper and construction paper.

Roll the strips around a pencil to make them curly and bouncy. Tape or glue the ends of the strips to the top of the hat.

Cut out pictures or comic characters from the newspaper and paste them on your hat.

Wear your zany creation proudly!

Find the two identical

ice cream cones.

All sorts of countries can participate in the Silly Summer Games. Countries like Jarodtopia, Amyland and The Royal Republic of Kevin will attend the festivities. Never heard of them? That’s because these kids invented countries named after themselves!

Create a flag for a country named after YOU! Have your friends do the same, and display them at your Silly Games.

Who has the most pucker power? Give each participant a lemon wedge. At the count of three, each participant holds the pulpy side of the lemon wedge in their mouth. Ewwww! Eyes water! Noses twitch! Fingers cringe! The last one to spit out their lemon wedge is the Big Wincer!

Can you find five or more differences between Patricia and her reflection?

Race against a group of friends –chicken style! Fold your arms into wings, and run like a chicken towards the finish line.

Add the numbers on each path. The smallest number is the winning

chicken!
