SHERIDAN — Three young ladieshave teamed up to host a fundraiser

on Saturday for a Type 1 diabetes sup-port group. No such group exists inthe area, and for the project lead,Casey Prior, that’s a problem.

“I really didn’t know anybody myage who had a similar situation that Iwas in,” said Prior, who was diag-nosed with the disease a year ago.

Committee advances budget billCHEYENNE (AP) — The state of Wyoming

would spend through roughly $1 billion ofsavings over the coming two years under a

budget bill that cleared a crucial committeevote this week.

The Legislature’s Joint AppropriationsCommittee on Wednesday night approved thegeneral government appropriations bill forthe two-year period that starts this July. TheHouse and Senate will start hearings on mir-ror versions of the bill next week.

Faced with low energy prices and economic

forecasts that predict increasingly toughtimes ahead, the committee voted to impose a1.5-percent budget cut on most state agenciesover the next two years. The WyomingDepartment of Health would be exempt fromthose cuts.

House committeeadvances bill to restrict

civil forfeitures

CHEYENNE (AP) — A bill to requirethe state to secure a criminal convictionin order to forfeit property that authori-ties believe has been used in the illegaldrug trade advanced in committeeThursday.

The House Judiciary Committee voted6-to-3 to send the bill along to the fullHouse for consideration despite the objec-tions of some law enforcement groups.Committee Chairman Rep. David Miller,

R-Riverton, is sponsoring the bill.Current Wyoming law doesn’t require

the Attorney General’s Office to secure acriminal conviction before it proceedswith civil court action to forfeit itemssuch as vehicles and cash that lawenforcement has seized on the belief itwas involved in the drug trade.

SEE CASE, PAGE 3

FROM STAFF REPORTS

SHERIDAN — The WyomingSupreme Court this weekoverturned a district courtdecision that dismissed a casealleging emotional distressbrought by Charley Collinsafter his son died in a work-place accident.

Collins filed a claim for neg-ligent infliction of emotionalstress against his employerCOP Wyoming, LLC, and hisco-employee, Roger Ross.According to court docu-ments, Collins alleged that hesuffered emotional injuriesafter he witnessed the death ofhis son, Brett Collins, whoalso worked for COPWyoming.

Brett Collins was killed on aconstruction job in Sheridantwo years ago while workingfor COP Wyoming. Ross wasalso employed by COPWyoming, as the job superin-tendent and supervisor incharge of safety at the samejob site. According to courtdocuments, Ross was operat-ing a large track hoe excava-tor to excavate inside a trenchbox at the job site. He instruct-ed Brett Collins to enter thetrench box and work therewhile he was operating thetrack hoe. Ross struck Collinsin the head with the bucket ofthe track hoe, severely injur-ing him. Charley Collins wasnotified, and he immediatelycame to the aid of his son andattempted to administer firstaid. Brett Collins died; he was20 years old.

The 4th Judicial DistrictCourt found that the claims ofCharley Collins were deriva-tive of the covered death ofhis son and were thereforebarred by worker’s compensa-tion immunity. The WyomingSupreme Court overturnedthat decision Wednesday.

The court’s decision stated,“Charley Collins’ claim foremotional injury is basedupon a duty to him that isindependent of the covereddeath of his son, Brett Collins,and it is not barred by work-er’s compensation immunity.”

The case will be remandedto 4th Judicial District Court.In addition, the WyomingSupreme Court ordered thatthe costs of the appeal be paidby COP Wyoming, LLC andRoger Ross.

The Collins family hasasked for legislation thatwould increase the WyomingOccupational Safety andHealth Administration’spower to levy fines againstemployers who commit willfulsafety violations.

Little Ms. Holly is a gorgeous one-year-old kitten. Her calico coat is long, silky, and always well groomed. She keeps up appearances, knowing her new family could pop in at any time. In our busy cat room, Holly is comparatively reserved, staying hidden from view in ‘her’ corner, or choosing to spend the day in the comfort of her kennel. She isn’t so fond of running into cats everywhere she turns, so she avoids the situations as much as possible.

Once you give Holly some TLC, she is an absolute sweetheart! She adores affection, gently butting her head for some petting. Holly needs to find a cozy barn to live in as opposed to a house. She promises to keep the mice away! Come meet this sweet little girl!

Chelsea is a very sweet four-year-old Lab mix. Like most dogs, she loves long walks, plenty of attention, quick dips in the water, and of course, treats. Once out of her kennel, she has a great time meeting new friends. We are unsure whether or not Chelsea would do well in a home with cats, but she gets along well with just about any dog! Chelsea is partially housebroken, requiring a little more work in that area. Chelsea could be such a loving companion to the right family. She loves some snuggling time with her people! She knows a few basic commands, such as sit and down. Come meet our sweet Chelsea!

CIVIL: WHP official spoke against billFROM 1

The Wyoming Attorney General’s Officehas waited up to a year to file civil forfei-ture cases seeking to extinguish an owner’slegal title to cash or other property seizedby law enforcement in cases in whichthere’s never been a criminal prosecution.

Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead, a former stateand federal prosecutor, last year vetoed abill that would have required a criminalconviction to support civil property forfei-tures. He said in his veto message that hewas satisfied law enforcement in the statewasn’t abusing the current system.

The Senate Judiciary Committee onFriday is set to consider a parallel bill thatwould require the state to convince a judgethat there was probable cause to forfeitproperty but still wouldn’t require a crimi-nal conviction.

Lobbyists for the Wyoming Association ofSheriffs and Chiefs of Police and WyomingPeace Officers Association said theyopposed Miller’s bill.

“We have concerns about the convictionelement,” said Sam Powell, speaking for theWyoming Peace Officers Association. “We

really like the committee bill. We think thecommittee bill answers the questions thatwere raised in the process last year andputs sufficient safeguards in place.”

Lt. Col. Shannon Ratliff of the WyomingHighway Patrol also spoke against Miller’sbill to require a criminal conviction to sup-port asset forfeitures.

“I would offer that, almost daily, we take alarge amount of poison and we take, as ithappens, a large amount of money frompeople that are determined to be crimi-nals,” Ratliff said. “If they’re criminalsand we leave that money with them, we’renot taking their tools away from them. Iwould offer that we need to rethink this.”

Miller told Ratliff that law enforcementwould still be allowed to seize money andother assets from people officers believe tobe criminals. “And if you have a case, youget to keep it,” Miller said.

Ratliff responded, “Correct, but if it’sdetermined that, upon probable cause, thatwe seize that money, which is the thresh-old, if we don’t convict them of anything,we have to give it back to the criminals.”

Miller said, “That’s the American way, Ithought.”

Bill to growreligious

freedoms failsin WyomingLegislature

CASPER (AP) — A bill that would have expanded protec-tions for religious freedom in the state has failed in theWyoming Legislature.

The Casper Star-Tribune reports that Rep. NathanWinters’ Government Nondiscrimination Act missed thenecessary introduction vote threshold on Thursday.

Because this year’s legislative session is a budget ses-sion, non-budget bills must receive a two-thirds vote toclear introduction.

Winters, a Thermopolis Republican, sponsored the bill,which was designed to stop state and local governmentsfrom penalizing people’s religious beliefs about same-sexmarriage.

Winters sponsored a similar act last year that passed theHouse but failed in the Senate.

CASE: LobbyingWyo. Legislature

FROM 1

“It’s a big deal to the state of Wyoming,”Brett Collins’ grandmother Mary Jane Collinssaid of the Wyoming Supreme Court’s deci-sion.

She said she expects with the court’s ruling,the state will need to make some statuarychanges regarding how they deal with similarincidents.

During the 2015 general session of theWyoming Legislature, a bill sponsored by Rep.Mary Throne, D-Cheyenne, and Sen. CharlesScott, R-Casper, failed in the Senate. Despitepassing 4-1 in the Senate Labor Committee,the bill never saw debate on the Senate floor.

This year, in response to new federal regula-tions, the Wyoming Joint Labor Health andSocial Services Committee sponsored legisla-tion that would bring Wyoming OSHA up tofederal code.

Under the new federal regulations, the maxi-mum penalty for a willful violation of work-place safety laws went from $70,000 to about$127,000.

On Tuesday, the bill was unanimouslyaccepted for introduction in the WyomingSenate and referred to the Labor, Health andSocial Services Committee.

No contest plea entered in felonious restraint, battery case

SHERIDAN — A Sheridan woman pleadedno contest to felonious restraint and batteryThursday in 4th Judicial District Court.

Nicole Wight was initially charged with kid-napping, felonious restraint, accessory beforethe fact to aggravated assault and battery, andaccessory before the fact to aggravated burgla-ry.

Wight agreed to serve five years of proba-tion in lieu of a suspended prison sentence of3-5 years, according to a plea agreement.

Judge William Edelman does not have toaccept the agreement. If he chooses to imposea harsher sentence, Wight may retract herplea.

Court documents indicate that Wight assist-ed Aaron A. Arnold with kidnapping his ex-wife and beating her in August 2014. They alsoforced her to write a check for $1,500 and signadditional blank checks.

After traveling to Natrona CountyInternational Airport in Casper, they wereapprehended by Natrona County Sheriff ’sdeputies who grew suspicious and concernedfor the victim’s safety.

Attorneys involved in the case requestedthat Arnold and Wight’s sentencing date bescheduled at the same time so their victim

only has to travel to Sheridan once. Arnold is expected to enter a plea agree-

ment that stipulates he be sentenced to nomore than 15 years for each charge. He isexpected to plead guilty to burglary, feloniousrestraint and aggravated assault.

A sentencing date has not yet been set.

Sheridan County man pleads notguilty to property destruction

According to an affidavit of probable cause,on Aug. 10, 2015, Belus told witnesses that hewas going to shoot out the windows of a resi-dence and that he also intended to startkilling people for a living.

Law enforcement reported that witnesseswere concerned about his methamphetamineuse and he was becoming delusional.

Belus allegedly told law enforcement heused a “tiny bit” of methamphetamine twice amonth.

A trial date has not yet been set. Belus iscurrently being held in the Sheridan CountyDetention Center.

SC-Simpson class recalls Heart Mountain

Brian Liesinger, executive director of the HeartMountain Interpretive Center and its foundation,held center stage Wednesday afternoon in Dr. PeteSimpson’s class at Sheridan College. The muse-

um/memorial/interpretative center is located nearPowell; it opened August 2011. I’ve toured it twice and itis a Wyoming educational treasure. Simpson is teaching

a class on Wyoming culture and politi-cal identity.

As a class this week regarding thestate’s diversity, we talked about thelegacy of the Matthew Shepherdmurder 18 years ago; the Universityof Wyoming’s “Black 14” protest of1969 and the federal government’sexecutive order to remove JapaneseAmerican citizens from their homesand intern them six weeks after thePearl Harbor attack.

In all, more than 120,000 citizenswere interned at similar sites; some14,000 called Heart Mountain home

for three years. This community, Wyoming’s thirdlargest “city” then, had its own government, schools,sustenance farms and judicial system. The conditionswere harsh. Many Wyomingites know the HeartMountain story. The class discussed the ambiguities ofHeart Mountain Thursday.

• Why was Wyoming chosen to host an internmentsite? It was dry, isolated and intentionally “out ofsight.” (Twenty-five hundred laborers built sub-stan-dard living housing in two months’ time.)

• Japanese Americans were rounded up fromAlaska, Washington, Oregon and California, but notthe Japanese Americans who lived in Hawaii, thelargest concentration of these citizens and groundzero for American involvement in the war and theaction that led to their relocation. Why? Logisticswere cited; there were too many of them. They were“off shore.” There was an issue with funding. Anillustration, perhaps, of how difficult it is to legislatewhen race and xenophobia are in the chemistry forthe greater good.

••••••

Liesinger, who has family living in Sheridan, deliv-ered an excellent program from which studentsexpanded through remembrance, understanding andchallenge. For example, the Fifth Amendment’s dueprocess clause is a primary focus of the HeartMountain site. The plight of refugees, wherever theyare from — Syria, Central America, Europe — is fre-quently received with empathy or NIMBYism (Not InMy Back Yard). Wyoming does not have a refugeeresettlement plan and Gov. Matt Mead has caught flakfor it. Wyoming also doesn’t have an office for theAmerican Civil Liberties Union. Those two elementsare unique to Wyoming.

More than 800 Heart Mountain internees served inthe WWII military, forces that were highly decoratedfor valor. Fifteen were killed in action. Yet, another 63internees went to trial for refusing military service,citing their loss of constitutional rights. It was thefirst mass trial in Wyoming. Convicted, they servedthree-year terms.

••••••

Simpson is on the Heart Mountain board of direc-tors. His brother, Sen. Al Simpson, is an honorarychairman along with the Norman Mineta, who servedin the cabinet of two presidents (Bill Clinton andGeorge W. Bush). The Simpson brothers knew Minetawhile all three were Boy Scouts in Cody and accordingto one source, first met on opposite sides of barbedwire.

The Mineta story was one of the more fascinatingaspects of Wednesday’s discussion. Here is a citizen,who as a boy, was sent to Heart Mountain with hisfamily after naval forces from the Empire of Japanbombed Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. Fast forward toSept. 11, 2001. Mineta, while serving as PresidentBush’s transportation secretary, gave the order to shutdown this nation’s air grid, ordering the 4,546 planesthat were aloft to immediately land. It was an unprece-dented order. Mineta left public service, has enjoyed asuccessful career in the private sector, and in 2006,was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Another discussion was about the 1988 CivilLiberties Act. It provided financial redress ($20,000 toeach surviving internee) and an apology from the U.S.government. Sponsors of the legislation: Mineta, whoserved 20 years as a Democratic congressman fromCalifornia and his friend from his Heart MountainBoy Scout days, Republican Sen. Simpson. PresidentReagan signed it into law.

PUBLISHER’SNOTEBOOK|Stephen Woody

The New Hampshire results havesolidified the reigning cliche thatthe 2016 campaign is an anti-estab-lishment revolt of both the left

and the right. Largely overlooked, how-ever, is the role played in setting thenational mood by the seven-year legacyof the Obama presidency.

Yes, you hear constant denuncia-tions of institutions,parties, leaders,donors, lobbyists,influence peddlers.But the startingpoint of the biparti-san critique is thesocial, economic andgeopolitical wreck-age all around us.Bernie Sanders iscareful never toblame Obama direct-ly, but his descrip-tion of the America

Obama leaves behind is devastating —a wasteland of stagnant wages, risinginequality, a sinking middle class,young people crushed by debt, theAmerican Dream dying.

Take away the Brooklyn accent andthe Larry David mannerisms and youwould have thought you were listen-ing to a Republican candidate. Afterall, who's been in charge for the lastseven years?

Donald Trump is even more colorfulin describing the current “mess” andmore direct in attributing it to thecountry's leadership — most pungent-ly, its stupidity and incompetence.Both candidates are not just anti-establishment but anti-status quo. Therevolt is as much about the Obamalegacy as it is about institutions.

Look at New Hampshire. HillaryClinton had made a strategic decision,as highlighted in the debates, to wrapherself in the mantle of the Obamapresidency. Big mistake. She lost New

Hampshire by three touchdowns.Beyond railing against the wreck-

age, the other commonality betweenthe two big New Hampshire winnersis in the nature of the cure they offer.Let the others propose carefully bud-geted five-point plans. Sanders andTrump offer magic.

Take Sanders' New Hampshire vic-tory speech. It promised the moon:college education, free; universalhealth care, free; world peace, alsofree because we won't be “the police-man of the world” (mythical Sunniarmies will presumably be doing thatfor us). Plus a guaranteed $15 mini-mum wage. All to be achieved by tax-ing the rich. Who can be against a“speculation” tax (whatever thatmeans)?

So with Trump. Leave it to him.Jobs will flow back in a rush fromChina, from Japan, from Mexico, fromeverywhere. Universal health care,with Obamacare replaced by “some-thing terrific.” Veterans finally takencare of. Drugs stopped cold at the bor-der. Indeed, an end to drug addictionitself. Victory upon victory of everykind.

How? That question never comes upanymore. No one expects an answer.His will be done, on earth if not yet inheaven. Yes, people love Trump's con-tempt for the “establishment” —which as far as I can tell means any-thing not Trump — but what is trulythrilling is the promise of a near-bib-lical restoration. As painless asSanders’.

In truth, Trump and Sanders aresoaring not just by defying the estab-lishment, but by defying logic and his-tory. Sanders' magic potion is social-ism; Trump's is Trump.

The young Democrats swooning forSanders appear unfamiliar withsocialism's century-long career, a dis-mal tale of ruination from Russia to

Cuba to Venezuela. Indeed, are theyeven aware that China's greatestreduction in poverty in human histo-ry correlates precisely with thedegree to which it has given up social-ism?

Trump's magic is toughness —toughness in a world of losers. Thepower and will of the caudillo willmake everything right.

Apart from the fact that strongmanrule contradicts the American consti-tutional tradition of limited and con-strained government, caudillo pop-ulism simply doesn't work. It accountsin a large part for the relative back-wardness of Africa and LatinAmerica. In 1900, Argentina had a percapita income fully 70 percent of ours.After a 20th century wallowing inPeronism and its imitators, Argentinais a basket case, its per capita incomenow 23 percent of ours.

There certainly is a crisis of confi-dence in the country's institutions.But that's hardly new. The currentrun of endemic distrust began withVietnam and Watergate. Yet not in ourlifetimes have the left and right pop-ulism of the Sanders and Trump vari-ety enjoyed such massive support.

The added factor is the Obamaeffect, the depressed and anxiousmood of a nation experiencing itsworst economic recovery since WorldWar II and watching its power andinfluence abroad decline amid awilled global retreat.

The result is a politics of high fanta-sy. Things can't get any worse, wehear, so why not shake things up totheir foundation? Anyone who thinksthings can't get any worse knowsnothing. And risks everything.

The group says St. Louis-basedPeabody no longer should quali-fy for self-bonding in Wyoming,Colorado and New Mexico.

Bonding helps ensure funding is in place to reclaimmines that close.

Self-bonding allows companies to avoid posting con-ventional bond in exchange for showing they have suf-ficient resources to pay for all potential mine reclama-tion.

Peabody has almost $900 million in self-bondingobligations in Wyoming. A Peabody spokeswomansays states reaffirmed self-bonding last year for all ofthe company’s self-bonded mines.

An OSMRE spokesman says the federal agency isreviewing the complaint.

The committee rejectedGov. Matt Mead’s proposalto spend roughly $450 mil-lion out of the state’s $1.8-billion “rainy day fund.”Mead had proposed reduc-ing the flow of energy rev-enues into permanent sav-ings and diverting thatmoney instead into therainy day fund to keep itintact over time.

Rep. Steve Harshman, R-Casper, is chairman of theHouse AppropriationsCommittee. He saidThursday the committeevoted to reduce spendingout of the rainy day fund to$310 million over the nexttwo years.

Of that $310 million,Harshman said the commit-tee voted to allocate $36 mil-lion to cover general gov-ernment operations, $90million for local govern-ments and $80 million forschool capital construction.It would leave the last $104million in reserve.

In addition, Harshmansaid the bill calls for spend-ing all the roughly $675 mil-lion the state how has inreserve for schools over the

next few years.“We’re going to spend a lot

of savings,” Harshman said.“Probably a billion worth ofsavings in the next threeyears.”

Sen. Tony Ross, R-Cheyenne, chairman of theSenate AppropriationsCommittee, said Thursdaythe committee approachedthe budget bill with the aimof narrowing the gapbetween ongoing revenuesand expenditures to avoid astructural deficit in the faceof falling revenues.

Wyoming for years hasrelied on federal coal leasebonus payments to fundschool capital construction.However, with the coalindustry increasingly on theropes, the state now predictsthose funds are going toevaporate.

For the two-year fundingcycle that covers fiscal years2019-2020, state financialanalysts have said recentlythe school foundation pro-gram faces a shortfall ofover $500 million.

Ross said the state now isspending the last of its coallease bonus money onschool projects.

“But we can’t continue onthe trajectory we’re on rightnow,” Ross said. “There’s$490 million plus in thepipeline right now, themoney’s been appropriated.We’re still continuing to dostuff. But at some point intime, we simply just don’thave the money.”

Democratic lawmakerssay they’re disappointed thecommittee rejected Mead’srecommendation to acceptfederal funds to expand theMedicaid program to offerhealth insurance to some20,000 low-income adults.The full Legislature couldreconsider the issuethrough a budget amend-ment.

Mead has said expandingMedicaid promises to save

the state more than $30 mil-lion over the coming bienni-um by reducing demand onother health programs.However, the WyomingLegislature has votedrepeatedly in recent yearsto reject the expansion.Many lawmakers sayingthey don’t trust federalpromises to continue to paythe bulk of program costs.

Rep. Cathy Connolly, D-Laramie, serves on theHouse AppropriationsCommittee. She issued ablistering statement onThursday criticizing com-mittee Republicans for cut-ting programs and failing torecommend Medicaid fund-ing.

“The Joint AppropriationsCommittee continues toslash and burn their waythrough the state’s budget,cutting much needed pro-grams that would benefitthe lives of the most vulner-able in our state,” Connollysaid.

Harshman said he doesn’texpect the full Legislaturewill reverse its post positionon Medicaid expansion.Expanding the program tocover low-income adults is akey element of the federalAffordable Care Act.

Harshman said hebelieves many legislatorshave concerns about theprospect of subsidizinghealth insurance coverageto people who are able towork.

DIABETES: Support groupFROM 1

“So now that I’ve kind ofgotten an idea of what life’slike, I think it would be coolto create a group of peoplewho suffer from the sameproblem so they don’t have togo through what I wentthrough,” she added.

Prior did her homeworkand discovered that she’s notalone: At least 60 people inSheridan County have Type 1diabetes, according to herresearch, and a total of 1.25million Americans have thedisease.

Since being diagnosed andtackling the service learningproject, Prior has discoveredwhat it really means to haveType 1 diabetes.

“Well, just because you havesomething like this, it doesn’tnecessarily make you an out-cast,” she said. “I’m not anydifferent than I was a yearago. Basically, I’m just moreaware and more responsible. Iknow that I have to take careof this. […] Basically, itshouldn’t hold me back frombeing the best person that Ican be.”

Prior and her crew areprepping for the DestinationImagination Wyoming statecompetition, which will takeplace in Casper on March 18-19.

There the team will have topresent the project and per-form a skit that illustratesthe need for the supportgroup. There are various cat-egories of competition, and“Together We Are 1” hasentered under the servicelearning category.

Broncs wrestlers take down Gillette, win 4A East conferenceBY MIKE DUNN

MIKE.DUNN@THESHERIDANPRESS.COM

GILLETTE — Call it graceunder pressure.

Taking the mat against perenni-al wrestling powerhouseCampbell County in a tough env-iornment, the Sheridan Broncsdidn’t just beat the Camels inGillette, they removed all doubt.

The Broncs wrestling teamearned 4A East conference cham-pion honors Thursday eveningwith a dominant 49-27 win overthe defending state championGillette Camels.

“We talked about it all week —whoever they put out there, we

need to be ready to go,” Sheridanhead coach Tyson Shatto said.“Our guys came out in a toughenvironment against a well-coached team and we performedwell. … That’s what we expectfrom our guys.”

The Broncs put the dual on icewithin the first couple of match-es.

Starting at the 138-pound weightclass, Sheridan’s middle weightshad no problem carving their waythrough the Gillette lineup. Afirst-round pin by Tymer Goss at138, a third-round fall by WyattAvery at 152 and a tough-fought 8-2 decision by Dominic Miller gavethe Broncs a cool 15-0 lead after

the first three matches.But it was a wild contest during

the 160-pound match that cata-pulted the Broncs up and over thetop.

Josh Wilcox was involved with arough scuffle against Gillette’sTriston Chapman. Both grapplerstook turns luring each other intonear-falls, and Wilcox went intothe third round trailing 9-6.

It took a mistake by Chapman,but Wilcox got the break he need-ed.

Just as Wilcox was locked up ina cradle, Chapman tried to rollhis opponent over his body. Buthis grip wasn’t strong enough.Wilcox broke free while he was on

top of Chapman.So with Wilcox’s back on

Chapman’s chest, and Chapman’sshoulder blades flat on the mat,Wilcox grabbed an unconvention-al pin early in the third round.

Hayden Hastings proceeded todo what he does best in the 170-pound weight class, picking up afirst-round pin. Then, TylerMauck battled through a stingingleg injury at 182 to grab a well-earned 13-2 major decision for histeam.

After the first six matches, theBroncs held firmly to a 31-0 lead.But just as Sheridan dominatedthe middleweights, the upper-weights were too much for the

Broncs to handle.Gillette grabbed pins in 195, 220

and the heavyweight bouts, then adecision at the 103-pound matchto give the Camels a glimmer ofhope.

That hope faded when Gillettehad to forfeit the 113- and 120-pound matches because the teamdidn’t have enough wrestlers tofill out a lineup.

At 126, Trenton Heil grabbedanother pin for good measure forthe Broncs while Tucker Goss losta tough decision at 132.

Trouble in Rio: IOC confident amidst Zika virus scareLILLEHAMMER, Norway (AP)

— IOC President Thomas Bach saidFriday that no countries intend topull out of the Olympics in Rio deJaneiro over concerns about theZika virus.

Bach, speaking ahead of theopening ceremony of the WinterYouth Olympics in Lillehammer,said he has "full confidence" in theactions being undertaken by theBrazilian authorities and globalhealth organizations to combat theoutbreak of the mosquito-bornevirus.

"There is no intention by (any)national Olympic committee to pullout from the Rio Olympic Games,"Bach said. "This does not excludethat we are taking this situationvery seriously."

Brazil has been the epicenter ofthe Zika outbreak, which hasspread across Latin America andbeen labeled a global health emer-gency by the World HealthOrganization.

Health authorities are investigat-ing whether there is link betweenZika infections in pregnant womenand microcephaly, a rare conditionin which children are born withabnormally small heads. The out-break has raised concerns ahead ofthe Olympics, which are still sixmonths away in August.

"We have full confidence in all themany actions being undertaken bythe Brazilian and internationalauthorities and health organiza-tions," Bach said. "We're also veryconfident that the athletes and thespectators will enjoy safe condi-tions in Rio de Janeiro."

Some athletes, most notably U.S.soccer goalkeeper Hope Solo, haveexpressed fears about going to theOlympics. Solo said earlier thisweek that if the games were beingheld today, she would not go.

Bach said the IOC was workingwith national Olympic committeesand the World Health Organizationto monitor the situation. He reiter-

ated that, because the games aretaking place during the Brazilianwinter, the colder conditionsshould mitigate the threat frommosquitoes.

"The World Health Organizationhas not issued a travel ban," Bachsaid. "All the experts agree that thetemperatures in the Brazilian win-ter time when the games are takingplace in August ... will lead to avery different situation."

Bach's comments echoed those ofthe IOC's medical director, Dr.Richard Budgett, who told TheAssociated Press on Thursday that"everything that can be done isbeing done" to contain Zika aheadof the games, stressing that healthauthorities have not issued anytravel restrictions for Brazil.

Bach is in Lillehammer for thesecond Youth Winter Olympics,where more than 1,000 athletesfrom 70 countries between the agesof 15 and 18 will compete in 70medal events over 10 days.

Hoosiers use late surge to upset No. 4 Hawkeyes 85-78 BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Indiana's

Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell wanted the ball Thursdaynight.

After taking blow after blow in the secondhalf from No. 4 Iowa, Ferrell finally found away to punch back.

The senior point guard beat the defensivepressure, found open teammates and finishedthe game by making four straight free throwsto help the Hoosiers rally for an 85-78 upsetvictory — after they had blown a 16-point lead.

“I felt like they hit us in the mouth a littlebit tonight,” Ferrell said. “But against a greatteam like Iowa, you can't get down and crum-ble, you've basically got to get up and keepfighting.”

He made sure none of the Hoosiers let theirguard down after blowing a 16-point lead.

Instead, Indiana (20-5, 10-2) used a 14-2 run toerase a four-point deficit, seized control andmoved into a share of the conference leadwith the Hawkeyes and No. 2 Maryland.

Ferrell finished with 14 points and went 8 of8 from the free-throw line, including two afterhe took an inadvertent shot to the face.

He also had plenty of help. Four otherIndiana players reached double figures includ-ing Troy Williams, who had 13 points andseven rebounds, and Robert Johnson, who had13 points and four rebounds.

Coach Tom Crean was more satisfied withhow Ferrell found other ways to help his teamon a poor shooting night.

“He wasn't shooting the ball well, but he set-tled in, made his teammates better,” coachTom Crean said after winning No. 20 for the

fourth time in eight seasons with theHoosiers. “That's what he did tonight.”

Iowa coach Fran McCaffery also wasimpressed with Ferrell's play in a game thatlived up to its tough-guy billing.

Jarrod Uthoff led the Hawkeyes (19-5, 10-2)with 24 points, Mike Gesell had 17 points andAdam Woodbury finished with 13 points andtied a career high with 15 rebounds, and PeterJok left for several minutes with whatappeared to be a lower left leg injury beforereturning.

McCaffery also liked the way his teammethodically trimmed the first-half deficit to45-38 at the half and started the second halfon a 9-0 run to take their first lead since theopening minutes.

“We responded like I hoped he would,” hesaid. “I thought we executed during thatstretch much better than we did the rest of thegame. I don't think our execution was what it'sbeen and I don't think you can beat a team ofthis caliber unless you're executing better.”

The lack of execution allowed the Hoosiersto quickly turn things around.

Trailing 60-56 with 9:35 to go, little-usedwalk-on Harrison Niego made a 17-footer thatgot Indiana's decisive run started. When itended, with Ferrell's 3-pointer, with 6:24 to go,the Hoosiers led 70-62. They never trailedagain.

MAKING A POINTIndiana's depth was a major difference

Thursday, too. The Hawkeyes' backups wereshut out 28-0. The other big difference showedup at the free-throw line. Indiana went 18 of

21, while the Hawkeyes were just 13 of 23.ALUMNI NIGHTHow big was this game? A long line of stu-

dents snaked through the parking lot at thesouth end of Assembly Hall long before thedoors opened, and inside Indiana's basketballarena, the group of former players in atten-dance included Dick and Tom Van Arsdale,the twin stars from the mid-1960s; ToddLindeman, who played with the Hoosiers in1990s, and Charlotte Hornets center CodyZeller, who stayed home after helping beat thePacers in Indianapolis on Wednesday.

THE BENEFITS OFBOOSTING A CHILD'S MEM-ORY

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

The Cowboy calledForgetful Jones is a SesameStreet character who can'teven remember that he needshis horse to take a ridearound his ranch. That's

cute, except when it's chil-dren who have problems withtheir working memory. Thatmay happen because of hear-ing issues, ADHD or develop-mental difficulties, and it canlead to problems with read-ing, learning and social inter-action. A recent Canadianstudy found that preschoolerswith a good working memorywere much more likely tostay in school as teens.

If you notice that yourchild has a hard time follow-ing instructions, remember-ing what comes next ingames or seems forgetful, youcan help:

--Have your child teach you.Did he learn to jump rope?Have him instruct you in howit's done.

--Limit exposure to digitaldevices for kids 5 andyounger. The researchers say,"video games, smartphones,tablets and television canundermine cognitive con-

trol." --Don't overload your child

with information or tasks.Avoid saying, "Pick up yourcoat from the floor and hangit up, and then grab a drinkfrom the pantry." One thingat a time.

--Teach visualization skills.Encourage your child to cre-ate a picture (initially bydrawing, eventually just byimagining) of what he/she'sjust read or heard.

--Play soft, pleasing musicwhile your child does tasks.As we mention in our book"YOU: Raising a Child," expo-sure to music can improvememory.

And, remember: By work-ing with specialists and help-ing your child with memoryproblems, you can see sub-stantial improvements infocus, learning and socialinteraction.

PARENTING AT EX'SHOUSE IS AN ISSUE FORNEW WIFE

DEAR ABBY: I am adivorced father who hasrecently remarried. I haveparenting time with my chil-dren one weeknight and

every other weekend. My children have told me

that during the week theyprefer doing their homeworkat their mother's home. Theysay that by the time I pickthem up, prepare dinner andthey start their homework,it's already time to return totheir mother's. They are atages where homework assign-ments can take several hours.

My ex is OK with me spend-ing time with them at herhome. She uses the time torun errands and do otherthings she may not have timefor during the week. Whenthere's no school, I bring thekids to our house. All week-end parenting time takesplace at my home.

The problem is, my presentwife can't stand that I spend

time with my children at myex's home. She doesn't under-stand why I won't bring themhere. I feel there's ampleopportunity on the weekendsfor my kids to be at our houseand for her to build a rela-tionship with them.Academics are crucial at thispoint in their lives.

So -- do I disrupt theirhomework to accommodatemy wife? Or should I contin-ue the arrangement that mykids, my former wife and Ihave established? -- PARENT-ING TIME IN NEBRASKA

DEAR PARENTING TIME:It appears you have marrieda woman who is insecure.Your children's reasons forwanting to stay at their moth-er's during the week seemvalid. You didn't mention

how long you and wifeNo. 2 have been married,but if it's a brand-newmarriage, point out thatduring school breaks andsummer vacation she willhave the midweek time tobond with your childrenthat she's craving.

DEAR ABBY: Myemployer hosted a profes-sional development work-shop on workplace eti-quette and conduct relat-ed to gender and personalidentity. The facilitatortold us to make sure wealways use the genderpronoun preferred by theperson we are talking toor about. But she didn'tgive any guidance abouthow to know what thosepronouns are if it's notclear from someone's out-ward appearance.Additionally, I havelearned I'm not very goodat guessing.

Is there a polite way toask someone if they pre-fer to be called he or she?What about people whodon't use either? It seemslike there's a lot of oppor-tunity to offend someone.I'd hate to upset anyoneby using the wrong pro-noun, but I also don'twant to admit to the per-son that I can't tell if heor she is a man orwoman. It's like walkingin a minefield. -- WHAT'SRIGHT?

DEAR WHAT'S RIGHT:This is such new territo-ry, it may take a while forthe general public toadjust. However, the per-son's name should be aclue about which genderhe or she identifies with.While I wouldn't recom-mend asking what genderthe person is, it wouldn'tbe inappropriate to usethe word "they" whenspeaking about the per-son because that pronounis being used more in thesingular.

key decisions. Jumping intothe fire out of the frying panis not a good idea. Tiny an-noyances in the family cir-cle can trigger argumentsor disputes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.21): You don't need a snakeand an apple tree to experi-ence temptation. Maybebeing "just friends" isn'tenough to satisfy your long-ings. If you are persistent inthe pursuit of love you canwin someone's heart.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Make love, notwar. Sidestep debates oversome touchy subjects suchas religion and politics.Place emphasis on thethings that you have incommon and prove that youare in synch with anotherperson.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.

19): You love a challenge.You may derive the greatestpleasure by doing whateversomeone says you cannotdo. Slow down as your will-ingness to accept a dare cancause you to speed pastwarning signs.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18): Duck for cover if in-vited to attend a socialevent. Costly investments oftime and money could be re-quired. Old friends mightbe the best friends but theirdemands could seem like analbatross around your neck.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March20): Seeing is believing.Promises and assurancescould be a dime a dozen.Flirtations brighten theday. Don't put your heart oryour money on the line un-less you have proof that ca-sual words are founded in

fact.IF FEBRUARY 13 IS

YOUR BIRTHDAY: Your au-thority might be challengedin the upcoming two tothree weeks. Get plenty ofexercise to burn off your ex-cess energy. During Marchand April your shrewdnessis at a peak, so this is a goodtime to buckle down to se-cure material success. LadyLuck may shower you withblessings in August but besure that you do not takeher kindness for granted.You may feel invincible inSeptember and this maygive an advantage overmore timid souls in pursu-ing your ambitions.

Bridge Phillip Alder

IT IS SO EASYTO GET CARE-LESS

Harry Vardon,the ground-breaking Eng-lish golfer, said,

"More matches are lostthrough carelessness at thebeginning than any othercause."

If you are about to com-pete in a bridge tournamentor for money, it would be agood idea for you and yourpartner to practice on a cou-ple of deals just before starttime.

It is easy for declarer to becareless near the beginningof this deal. How shouldSouth play in three no-trump after West leads afourth-highest club six tothe 10 and jack?

North's three-club rebidwas New Minor Forcing. Hewas hoping his partnercould show three-card heartsupport. However, whenSouth indicated only a dou-bleton heart, North signedoff in three no-trump.

South starts with eight toptricks: three spades, oneheart, three diamonds andone club (at trick one). He

can get the extra winnerfrom either red suit -- butwhich should he attackfirst?

Most players would real-ize that taking the heart fi-nesse is toodangerous. If itloses, East willreturn a clubthrough South'sking and intothe jaws ofWest's ace-queen. Here,West wouldtake four tricksin that suit todefeat the con-tract.

Instead, manydeclarers wouldplay a diamondto dummy's aceand return a di-amond to theirking -- and sud-denly find thatthey could nolonger makethe contract.East wouldgain the lead inone red suit orthe other.

South shouldtake a safety-fi-

nesse, covering dummy's di-amond nine with his 10.Here, declarer would endwith an overtrick. But evenif West could take the trick,the contract would be safe.

Hints from Heloise Heloise

A Unique Floral Arrange-ment

Dear Readers: Here is alittle secret of mine: When ISEND FLOWERS to friends,especially three longtimegirlfriends since we allshare April birthdays, Isend one bouquet to me, too!I know I'll get flowers! Re-ally, it's to see if the flowersshown on a website arewhat is delivered.

I've been pretty happymost times. Once the boxwas left in the wrong placeand not discovered until thenext day. The flowers didnot have water vials on thestems, so the flowers werein sad shape. Regardless ofthe time of year, it can getwarm here in San Antonio,even in winter.

The company sent an-other bouquet after I calledand told them of the situa-tion. Good customer serv-ice, and I'll use them again.-- Heloise

CLEANING TOOLSDear Heloise: Sorry, but

clarification on a hint isneeded. In the past, I believeyou said to use dark vinegarto clean tools.

The only dark vinegar Ifind in stores is apple-cider

vinegar. So, is that the darkvinegar, or is it some otherkind of vinegar? -- Guy C.,Manhattan, Kan.

Guy, good point. Apple-cider vinegar is dark vine-gar. White or apple-cidervinegar both work for tools.Apple-cider vinegar is"dark"-colored because it'smade from apples; whitevinegar is made from grain.To use, place small tools invinegar and let sitovernight or longer. Thenscrub with a brush andrinse well. Vinegar is such agreat product to have onhand. I have put together apamphlet of all my favoritevinegar hints. To order,send $5 and a long, self-ad-dressed, stamped (71 cents)envelope to: Heloise/Vine-gar, P.O. Box 795001. SanAntonio, TX 78279-5001. Youalso can order on my web-site, www.Heloise.com. Gotrusty screws and bolts?Give them a good soak, too.Buy the store brand of vine-gar -- it's usually cheaper --and always have a gallon onhand. -- Heloise

OLD GAME, NEW VER-SION

Dear Heloise: I noticedthat Monopoly has been up-

dated, and there are newerversions alongside the olderone. I purchased a new ver-sion and gave it to my sonfor his birthday. He'd beenplaying the original onewith his friends.

They used the new one forgame night, and it was a hit!He claims the newer ver-sion is slightly different andfaster to play than the origi-nal one. -- Monopoly Mom,via text

RECYCLE ITDear Heloise: Many times,

purchases come with pricetags attached with ribbon,narrow woven belts, artifi-cial stones, etc. I save thisin a drawer and now havemany colors, small flowersand other items that areperfect for decorating apackage when wrapping it.

It's fun to be creative, andrepurposing is good for theenvironment. -- Carole inOmaha, Neb.

CARRY-ON ITEMDear Heloise: When I

travel, I have an extrachange of clothes in mycarry-on. You never know ifyour luggage is going to getlost or if you are going to ex-perience extended layovers.-- Julia, via email

PAT GRAHAMAP SPORTS WRITER

Boise State coach Leon Rice is still tryingto wrap his head around this basketballbrainteaser: Beating the buzzer with a win-ning basket doesn't necessarily mean youwin the game.

Perplexed?So were the Broncos after James Webb III

banked in a 3-pointer with no time left inovertime to give them what they thoughtwas an 87-84 win over Colorado State onWednesday in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Only, the winning shot was overturnedafter officials went to the monitors and uti-

lized a digital stopwatch embedded withinthe video overlay in the instant replay sys-tem. Through that, it was determined theclock didn't start on time and thus Webbdidn't get the shot off in time. Boise Stateended up losing 97-93 in double overtime.

Rice's frustration isn't so much with theofficial's decision, which was upheld by theMountain West Conference after the gameand again Thursday when the leaguereleased video.

No, his concern revolves around the useof such technology.

“It opens a can of worms,” Rice said in aphone interview with The Associated Presson Thursday. “Why are those milliseconds

(at the end) more important than any othertime throughout the game?

“Because all my life I've gone off theclock on the scoreboard — and he got it offbefore that.”

Here's how the play in question unfolded:Boise State inbounded the ball to Webbwith 0.8 seconds left, with Webb catching itand immediately shooting it toward therim.

The basket was good.Game over, right?Rice saw red light up around the basket a

split second after Webb's shot was released,so he figured the officials would confirmthe bucket once they went to the monitor tolook at the play.

When they waved off the basket, Ricereally saw red.

“I was all ready to run to the locker roomand dump Gatorade on each other,” Ricesaid.

Even Colorado State coach LarryEustachy felt that was a wrap.

At his postgame news conferenceWednesday, Eustachy said he was just“waiting to hear the bad news. When they(the players) saw me turn around and clap,they were excited. They were really excit-ed. It took a lot of courage to figure out theright call. Clearly, when he caught it towhen he got it off, it took 1.3 seconds. ...Bizarre game. Bizarre.”

The league said in its release Thursdaythat a “clear 1.2 to 1.3 seconds elapsed fromthe time the player touched the ball to thetime the shot was released, and that thegame clock did not start for several tenthsof a second after the initial touch. Thus,the basket did not count — regardless ofwhat was ultimately reflected on the game

clock or what other unofficial videoreplays may appear to indicate.”

Not only that, but the league also com-mented on a play just before Webb's shot,when Colorado State turned the ball overand extra time appeared to run off theclock.

The league determined the clock stoppedcorrectly at 0.8 seconds "once the officialblew his whistle for the backcourt viola-tion. His whistle stopped the clock auto-matically via the Precision Timing Systemat that instant."

Oh, and for the record: It was a sophisti-cated timing device that was used, not astopwatch.

“At first, I was like, ‘A stopwatch? What?’”Rice said, when hearing the play was possi-bly overturned by using a stopwatch. “Aterrible choice of words. You're thinking,'They went to a stop watch? What is this —the 1950s?' That throws you for a loop.”

Now, the Broncos are putting this allbehind them. They're 16-9 and trying tostay within reach of front-running SanDiego State in the conference chase.

“They battled, did everything, controlledeverything they could control," Rice said.“That's what we focus on. We made 18 3-pointers. We played well together. Were weperfect? No. We weren't perfect. We didn'tget the game done.

“But when it comes down to minusculeseconds, you can't fault them. I saw a reallygood basketball team out there in orange.”

Rice is hoping this episode can bring histeam even closer together.

“You can't dwell on anything — win, lose,good calls, bad calls," Rice said. "If you findyourself dwelling on stuff, you're passed upand lost the next one already.”

CHAMPS: Sheridan won lone state title in 1990; Campbell County has won 13 straight FROM B1

It was a sweet win for Shatto and the restof the Broncs. Gillette has won the last 13state championships, and while the Camels’team depth put them as the favorite goinginto the regional and state tournaments,beating them in a dual is a testament tohow the Broncs have performed all year.

“Gillette is a tough team; it’s going to betough to beat them every year. They justdon’t take a year off, they just kind ofreload,” Shatto said.

The Broncs went undefeated against con-ference opponents this year and will havean opportunity to go undefeated in all dualsagainst Wyoming opponents this Friday.Sheridan will host the Natrona CountyMustangs at their home gym, and Shattosaid his wrestlers need to take advantage ofthe next week to be prepared for the region-al championship.

“Overall, we have one more chance to putourselves in position to be where we needto go into regionals next week and hopeful-ly do well,” Shatto said. “The guys areexcited, they’re poised. If they keep thatgoing then hopefully we can make somethings happen.

Boise State basketball tries to rebound from buzzer-beating blunder

Montana native Tres Tinkle helps Oregon State to rare win at Stanford, 62-50 STANFORD, Calif. (AP) —

Oregon State finally got awin away from home in aPac-12 game, never trailingin a 62-50 victory atStanford that ended morethan a year of frustrationon the road in conferencegames.

Tres Tinkle had 19 pointsto lead Oregon State, whichwon for just the second timeat Stanford since 1993. TheBeavers had lost 20 of theirprevious 21 games atMaples Pavilion, winningonly in 2009.

The victory was the firstfor the Beavers in a confer-ence road game since Jan.17, 2015, snapping a streakof 10 straight road losses inPac-12 play.

“We challenged our guysto turn it around, we'vestruggled on the road,”Oregon State coach WayneTinkle said. “I said we canstart tonight — this wouldbe a great time to do thatand start not a revolution,but maybe the evolution of

our team on the road.”Gary Payton added 14

points and MalcolmDuvivier had 11 for OregonState (15-8, 6-6 Pac 12),which has won threestraight. Rosco Allen scored12 points and GrantVerhoeven had 10 to leadStanford (11-11, 4-7), whichlost its fourth straight.

“It just came down to notgetting enough stops,”Verhoeven said. “We gaveup way too many 3s andway too many layups.”

Oregon State opened thesecond half with an 11-4run to build an 11-pointlead, and a 3-pointer byPayton with 8½ minutesremaining made it 47-35.The Cardinal made a laterun, scoring six straightpoints to pull within 51-46with three minutes left, butPayton responded with alayup and Stanford nevergot closer than five pointsthe rest of the game.

The Beavers led 33-29 athalftime after shooting bet-

ter from beyond the 3-pointline (6 of 12) than frominside the arc (6 of 14) inthe first half. Duvivier hadthree of those 3-pointersand Tinkle had two.

TIP-INSOregon State: The Beavers

broke a five-game overallroad losing streak, winningtheir first contest awayfrom Corvallis since Nov.21. ... Tinkle led the Beaverswith nine rebounds.

Stanford: The Cardinalwere playing at home forthe first time in 19 days.During that stretch, theywent 0-3 with double-digitlosses at Colorado, Utahand California. ... The losskept Stanford stuck on ninehome wins this season. Thenext victory at MaplesPavilion will extend itsstreak to 23 straight seasonswith at least 10 home wins.
