SHERIDAN — One of the bestparts of the Christmas season isthe full schedule of musicalofferings provided by areaschools.

Choirs, bands and orchestrasat all grade levels have beenpreparing for the season’s con-certs for weeks and you don’thave to be the parent or grand-parent of a student to attend andenjoy a concert.

A few concerts have alreadytaken place, but there are stillplenty of opportunities to catchmore in coming weeks.

Ashley Lecholat, vocal musicdirector at Sheridan HighSchool, said the annualChristmas choir concert will be

held Dec. 10. It will feature morethan 90 students participating inmixed choir, treble makers, spec-trum and honor choir.

“We are going to be singing abig variety of Christmas music,”Lecholat said. “We have sometraditional carols and contempo-rary Christian Christmas tunesand probably the most impor-tant, we will be ending the con-cert, as we always have, with thehallelujah chorus from Handel’s‘Messiah.’ That’s when wealways invite all the previouschoir members, parents, teach-ers, everyone in the communitywho knows that song to come upon stage and sing with us. Thathas been our tradition for 25 or30 years.”

She said the annual concert isusually offered twice, in the

afternoon and evening, but willhave only one performance thisyear, at 7 p.m. in the school audi-torium.

Tongue River schools will alsooffer their annual Christmasconcert on Dec. 10 at TongueRiver High School. The eveningwill begin at 5:30 p.m. with sixthgrade band and choir, followedby seventh and eighth gradeband and choir and then thehigh school band and choir.

The full evening of music willbe accompanied by a student artshow and the annual Taste ofTongue River, which will providetasty treats and beverages forconcertgoers.

SHERIDAN — On Tuesday, the Board ofCounty Commissioners re-visited a motionthat was defeated in their Nov. 5 meetingregarding regulations for flood plain man-agement in Sheridan County.

After discussion of several options forrevising the regulations, the commission-ers unanimously passed an amendedmotion requesting the public works direc-tor to modify the regulations for final con-sideration Dec. 17.

Revisions will address the two primaryconcerns expressed by Sheridan Countyresidents in past meetings.

The revisions will eliminate a county-wide requirement that all new developmentin flood plains — including new houses,substantial additions and agriculturallyrelated structures such as corrals andfences — be built one foot or more abovebase flood elevation.

The revised regulations will require newdevelopment to be built at or above baseflood elevation in the county and one footor more above BFE in the code enforcement

area, an approximately one-mile “donut”around city limits that serves as a jointplanning area. This will match city floodregulations and allow for seamless transi-tions should contiguous county land beannexed into city limits in the future,Commissioner Terry Cram said.

The changes will also eliminate require-ments for applicants who live in “A Zones,”or areas near creeks that don’t have baseflood elevation data, to hire an engineer tocompute BFE for their land.

SHERIDAN — TheSheridan County Adult DrugCourt has been accredited forthree years by theCommission onAccreditation ofRehabilitation FacilitiesInternational.

The CARF inspection wasconducted to comply withnew state requirements thatthe program be accredited byan outside agency to continueto receiving state funding.

Justice CenterAdministrator Neal Madsonsaid the evaluation cost$7,200, and entailed a reviewof program documents aswell as a two-day visit fromtwo CARF inspectors whoassessed client services andthe facility.

"They did a pretty intensivelook at our treatment pro-gram to determine we weredoing what we say we do andthat it matches up with theprotocol we expect," Madsonsaid."It's the whole process ofhow treatment is delivered."

The team also met with pro-gram participants to get theiropinion on the program.

CARF Spokesperson AlWhitehurst said there werethree possible outcomes afterthe CARF team paid a visit toSheridan: non-accreditation,a one-year accreditation anda three-year accreditation.

Sheridan’s earning thehighest approval of CARF isnot only indicative of thequality of the program, but itwill save money in the longrun.

If only a one-year accredita-tion were granted, the JusticeOffice would have to come upwith funds for re-inspectionnext year.

Whitehurst said CARF poli-cy dictates a program canonly get two consecutive one-year accreditations. If a pro-gram does not increase stan-dards to a three-year accredi-tation level afterward, itbecomes ineligible for CARFendorsement.

"A three-year accreditationindicates the organizationhas a higher level of per-formance to CARF stan-dards," Whitehurst said.

SHERIDAN — SheridanCounty Commissionersapproved by a vote of 5-0 aquarry to be located approxi-mately two miles south ofDayton at their meetingTuesday. The 227-acre quarrywill be used for three upcom-ing projects on Interstate 90.

The Wolf Creek State LandQuarry was recommended forapproval, with six conditions,by the Sheridan CountyPlanning Commission at itsmeeting Nov. 7. That meetingwas attended by several near-by residents who expressedconcerns about road safety,operation hours, drainageissues and disruption of areawildlife including sharp-tailedgrouse and long-billed kerns.

Following that meeting,Wyoming Department ofTransportation ResidentEngineer Jerry Buckley andresident Bob Berry beganworking together to make thequarry more acceptable tonearby residents.

At Tuesday’s commissionmeeting, Buckley said that heworked with Berry to relocateportions of the quarry to amore suitable location.Locations for gravel pits havealso been proposed in areasthat slope entirely to thenorth, which will alleviateconcerns about drainage intotwo draws on Berry’s landthat lead to reservoirs south ofthe quarry.

Hauling operations will notgo along Soldier Creek Roador through Ranchester,Buckley said.

The quarry will be minedsporadically, approximately 30acres at a time, as each projecton I-90 is completed. The firstproject will cover Acme toRanchester, from mile marker10-15, and will begin inJanuary 2014. The secondproject will stretch betweenmile markers 5-10 and willbegin in October 2017. Thethird project will run southfrom the Montana state linefrom mile markers 0-5. It willbegin in October 2018.

WYDOT requested the quar-ry to provide a nearby gravelsource for contractors inorder to level the playing fieldand get competitive bids onthe projects from companiesthat may not have their ownquarries nearby.

FLOOD PLAIN: Must OK revisions by Jan. 16FROM 1

The revised regulations will allow thecounty to use historical flood data andother available maps and information tobest estimate base flood elevation anddetermine the safest place to build. Thislines up with city flood codes and preventsresidents from having to pay for an engi-neer’s study, which was estimated by onelocal engineer to cost $3,000-$5,000, give ortake, depending on land size and terrain.

“I think this addresses the issues on thetable and in the minds of members of thecommunity,” Commissioner Bob Rolstonsaid. “I believe we’re headed down the rightpath on this.”

A few residents were present at the meet-ing, even though there was no public hear-ing. One resident, George Meredith, wasallowed to address the commissioners. Hesaid the flood plain regulations representeda taking of private property without com-pensation, citing the 14th amendment, and

said there could be financial consequencesif anyone decided to take action against thecounty.

On the original motion Nov. 5, the com-missioners split their vote three againstand two for the flood plain regulations.Tuesday, the vote was 5-0 in favor of theamended motion.

The commissioners will formally adoptthe rules and regulations regarding floodplain management at their meeting Dec. 17after the public works department hasmade the modifications.

“People have a choice, is the main issue,”Commissioner Tom Ringley said. “It’s justabout the end of the road on this subject.”

The board is required to adopt the newregulations, which include new flood insur-ance rate maps and flood studies along 66miles of the Goose creeks and SoldierCreek, by Jan. 16, 2014, in order to maintaineligibility in the National Flood Insuranceprogram through the Federal EmergencyManagement Agency.

CARF: Madson pleased with resultsFROM 1

“An organization receiving a three-year accreditation has put itselfthrough a rigorous peer reviewprocess and has demonstrated to ateam of surveyors during an on-sitevisit that its programs and servicesare of the highest quality, measura-ble and accountable," Madson said ina press release.

Court Supervised TreatmentProgram Manager for the WyomingDepartment of Health JessicaBinning said the Legislature's newrequirement for a third-partyendorsement for the drug court pro-gram was driven by an increasedneed for accountability with statefunds. Previously, the program wasinspected and certified only by a con-tingency from the state, which wasfree.

“State certification is still requiredseparately from national accredita-tion, though by virtue of receiving anational accreditation award, aprovider meets state certificationrequirements,” Binning said.

Madson was pleased with the out-come of the process, especially sinceit was their first time out of the gate.

"My expectation was we were goingto get a one-year certificationbecause this was the first time wewere doing this," he said. "I knew wewere doing a good job, but I guessthis backs up that overall impression.This is something we can show thecommunity and state that we are incompliance with rules and regula-tions."

A similar program for juvenileswas also evaluated by CARF, butresults from that inspection have notyet been released.

QUARRY: Mobile home park licenses OK’dFROM 1

Commissioners approved the quarry withsix conditions including: a requirement fordust suppression on all county roads, a 10-year permit limit, that the site be stakedbefore excavation, hours of operation from7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday and 7:30a.m. to noon Saturday, restriction on exca-vation near water drainages and draws inthe area and restriction of hauling opera-tions on one day in the summer when SRCattle Company moves its cattle north toMontana.

“Quarries can be rather contentioussometimes,” County Commissioner TomRingley said. “In this case, I think WYDOT

went beyond the pale to work with Mr.Berry, and I think everybody will be happyabout it. In the meantime, WYDOT willhave a good source of gravel to use forsome important highway projects.”

In other business, commissionersapproved 11 mobile home park licenserenewals. These included Arvada MHP, B-BMobile Ranch, Bell Trailer Park, CountryPark, Easy Street Park, Mitchell Court,Mobile Haven Trailer Court, Wagon BoxMHP, Willow Park, Woodland Park Villageand McGillivary Mobil Home Park.

The BOCC also reappointed RobertHamilton to the Predator ManagementDistrict of Sheridan County for a term toend Dec. 31, 2017.


RANCHESTER — Ranchester TownCouncil passed on third and final read-ing Tuesday an ordinance regardingminors dining in bars.

The ordinance will require childrenunder 18 to be accompanied by an adult21 years of age or older when dining inrestaurants that are located within bars.It also restricts anyone under the age of18 from being in a bar area after 10 p.m.

“People had seen children in bars andbrought it up to us, so we thought webetter get an ordinance going,”Ranchester Mayor Allan Moore said.

Council members also passed on sec-ond reading an ordinance regarding firepits within town limits.

Moore said some residents have dugholes in their back yard for use as a firepit, which poses safety concerns.

With Ordinance #257, Ranchester willrequire fire pits to be above ground andcovered with a grate or, if dug into theground, to be surrounded by concrete

and rocks and grated. “It offers a little more protection than

just a pit burning in the ground,” Mooresaid.

No objections have been made by resi-dents to either ordinance regardingminors dining in bars or fire pits withintown limits, Moore said.

The council was set to discuss anannexation of Spirit Ridge Lot 2, whichis located across the road from TongueRiver Middle School, but the issue hadto be postponed, Moore said.

Planning Commission members weresick and unable to meet, which meansthey could not make a recommendationto Ranchester Town Council.

The annexation will include approxi-mately 100 acres, 10 of which will beused as a site for a new elementaryschool, and the rest of which will beused for development around the school,Moore said.

Moore said he hopes the planningcommission can meet soon so the coun-cil can discuss the annexation at its nextmeeting Dec. 17.

Ranchester Town Council passesordinance regarding minors in bars

Critics of the agreementwith Iran concerning itsnuclear program are rightabout most things but

wrong about the most impor-tant things.

They understand the agree-ment’s manifest and manifolddefects and its probable futili-ty. Crucial components ofIran’s nuclear infrastructureremain. U.S. concessionsintended to cultivate theIranian regime’s “moderates”are another version of thefatal conceit that U.S. policycan manipulate other soci-

eties. As isthe hopethat easingeconomicsanctionswill createan Iranianconstituen-cy demand-ing nuclearretreat inexchangefor yet moreeconomicrelief.

Critics are, however, wrong inthinking that any agreementcould control Iran’s nuclearaspirations. And what criticsconsider the agreement’sthree worst consequences areactually benefits.

The six-month agreement,with ongoing negotiations,makes it impossible for theUnited States to attack itsnegotiating partner. Hencethe agreement constrainsIsrael, which lacks the mili-tary capacity to be certain ofa success commensurate withthe risks of attacking Iran.Therefore there is no alterna-tive to a policy of contain-ment of a nuclear Iran.

Iran’s claim that its nuclearprogram is for power genera-tion and medical uses is risi-ble. So is the notion thatnegotiations have any likelyutility establishing the predi-cate for containment of anIran with nuclear weapons orwith the capacity to producethem quickly.

There is a recently pub-lished primer for the per-plexed: “Unthinkable: Iran,the Bomb, and AmericanStrategy” by Kenneth M.Pollack of the BrookingsInstitution. Measured in hisjudgments, scrupulous in pre-senting arguments withwhich he disagrees, Pollackcomes to this conclusion:“Going to war with Iran totry to prevent it from obtain-ing a nuclear arsenal wouldbe a worse course of actionthan containing Iran, even anuclear Iran.”

Some advocates of warseem gripped by ThirtiesEnvy, a longing for the clarityof the 1930s, when appease-ment failed to slake the dicta-tors’ thirst for territorialexpansion. But the incanta-tion “Appeasement!” is not anargument. And the word“appeasement” does not use-fully describe a sober deci-sion that war is an imprudentand even ultimately ineffec-tive response to the failure ofdiplomatic and economicpressures to alter a regime’schoices about policies withinits borders.

Israel’s superb air force istoo small, when striking overgreat distances at hidden andhardened targets, to do morethan set back Iran’s programa few years, at most. And anattack might cause Iran to

expel the internationalinspectors, and might acceler-ate the crumbling of thesanctions, thereby speedingthe reconstitution of theweapon program.

A U.S. attack could do muchmore damage but could notprevent reconstitution. So, ifstopping the program isimportant enough for war, isit important enough for aninvasion of a nation withalmost three times the popu-lation of Iraq and nearly fourtimes the size?

In December 2011, LeonPanetta, then secretary ofdefense, said that if Iran wereseen “proceeding with devel-oping a nuclear weapon” orhad decided to do that, theUnited States would “takewhatever steps are necessaryto stop it.” In March 2012,Barack Obama said: “Iran’sleaders should understandthat I do not have a policy ofcontainment; I have a policyto prevent Iran from obtain-ing a nuclear weapon.” Hisred line was the weaponiza-tion of fissile material.

Yet in his Nov. 23 statementcelebrating the new agree-ment, Obama spoke of want-ing to be able to “verify” thatIran “cannot build a nuclearweapon.” If so, he rejects notonly containment but allow-ing Iran to stop near — “ascrewdriver’s turn away

from” — weaponization. ButPollack, writing manymonths before the recentagreement ratified Iran’sright to enrichment, said:

“As long as Iran is left withthe capacity to enrich urani-um, the right to performsome enrichment activity,and a stockpile of LEU (low-enriched uranium) ... thenIran will have a breakoutcapability. It could be a break-out window as wide as manymonths, perhaps even a year,but Iran will have the capabil-ity to manufacture the fissilematerial for a nuclearweapon.”

The agreement will notstop Iran from acquiringnuclear weapons; only a high-ly unlikely Iranian choice cando that. The agreement may,however, prevent a war toprevent Iran from acquiringsuch weapons. If Pollack isright, and he certainly is per-suasive, we have two choices,war or containment. Thosewho prefer the former havean obligation to clearly saywhy its consequences wouldbe more predictable and lessdire than those in the disas-trous war with Iraq.

Twenty shopping days ‘tilChristmas. Then there’s 19,then 18 and so forth.

The slogan is a commontradition in American mar-keting.

So what was the first store to use it?Marshall Field in Chicago. The genius who iscredited with its origin is Harry GordonSelfridge (1858-1947). Selfridge started in thestock room, was promoted often until hebecame the store’s marketing director andlater, the manager of Marshall Field, his retailhome for 25 years. He married a wealthywoman and then opened his own big store inLondon in 1909.

The PBS network has celebrated his life witha dramatic series and a second season ofepisodes to begin next year. Selfridge is alsocredited with the retail chestnut: “the cus-tomer is always right.”

Selfridge turned retailing on its ear when heopened the store. He purchased page after pageof newspaper advertising. Customers werewelcomed into the store and the merchandisewas open and available. Celebrities of the day— actors, aviators, adventurers — werebrought into the store and promotions weretied to their appearances. He created restau-rants inside the store and “quiet” rooms forcustomers and reading rooms as well. Theintent was to keep the customer in the store aslong as possible.

One other notable change: cosmetics andperfumes, once hidden away, were brought upfront; they were the first displays customersexperienced walking through the door; nowa-days, this marketing ploy is common. Backthen, Selfridge wanted some relief from theanimal and manure smells from the street andbelieved the customers would feel the sameway. A store that smelled good added to theshopping experience.

Incidentally, Estee Lauder was the first tooffer “free gift” with purchase, beginning in1962.

An Amish farmer, walking through his field,notices a man drinking from his pond. Thefarmer shouts: “Trink das wasser nicht. Diekuhen haben dahen gesheissen.”

(Translation: “Don’t drink that water; thecows poop in it!”)

The man shouts back, indignantly: “This isAmerica, you blasted foreigner! Can’t youspeak English?”

The Amish farmer replies. “Yes, of course. Isaid, ‘Use both hands, you’ll get more.’”

Yes, the temperature outside canmost aptly be described as arctic.The wind has been howling, thesnow has been blowing and every-

one has been trying desperately to staywarm.

But, we encourage everyone to go out-side.

We know, sounds crazy right?But as Christmas cheer begins spread-

ing around the county, it is importantfor people to understand the joy in hunt-ing down and claiming a real Christmastree. Don’t be fooled. Fake... eh hem,sorry... artificial trees have their place,but real trees top the rest in competitionfor Christmas spirit.

The adventure of trekking into theBighorn National Forest, trudging

through the snow and finding the per-fect tree is priceless. Bring your family,your spouse and your pets. Everyonecan enjoy the fresh air and a little exer-cise. Whether your style is CharlieBrown or grand ballroom, the forest hastrees to fit homes of all sizes.

There are a few rules, so pay attentionwhen you venture into the woods.

• Don’t cut any trees in wildernessareas, marked timber sales, within 300feet of campgrounds, lodges, summerhomes, private land and ranger stations,or within 100 feet of state highways.

• On the Powder River Ranger District(offices located in Buffalo), trees cannotbe harvested along U.S. Highway 16 fromthe eastern Bighorn National Forestboundary to the Hettinger Group Area

sign, and along Forest Service Road 19.• The required tag you are given when

you purchase a permit must be attachedto the tree before it is transported.

• Off-road travel regulations are ineffect so don’t go hot shotting.

• When cutting a tree, stumps must becut at 6 inches or less, and it is impor-tant to keep roadways clear of debrisand slash.

• Boughs may be cut away only fromtrees tagged with a permit.

• The $8 permit allows you to cut onetree up to 10 feet tall. Permits can bepicked up at the Bighorn NationalForest offices in Buffalo, Lovell andSheridan. So be careful, stay warm andfind some holiday cheer in the great out-doors.

Find your holiday cheer in the great outdoors

As a young boy he and his siblings worked hard on the farm.There was fun to be had, too! Jerry rode his horse, Babe, toShiloh School, where at lunch time they sometimes had minirodeos. He also flew down the newly paved Zimmerman trailon his bicycle, passing cars along the way.

Jerry was fortunate enough to find a mate with an equal zealfor life. He and Thresa Strong were married July 1, 1951 inBillings at the German Congregational Church.

The whole familycut down trees at Luther and built the extended family a cabinon Snow Creek. Jerry and Thresa traveled overseas severaltimes. He would always find a “relative, an old friend or makenew ones everwhere they went. The family skied on GrizzlyPeak and brought motor boating and waterskiing to Lake Elmo.They ventured to Alaska and fished commercially for sockeyesalmon for 8 summers.

Jerry had a circle of wonderful friends that were there forhim and he for them in times of need. Sometimes Jerry gaveand sometimes he received. Jerry loved his community andgave back to it in numerous ways.

Giftsfrom thekitchen

When invited to gatheringsit is always nice to add tothe festivities by bringinga small token of thanks,

a hostess gift as they used to becalled. Small jars of happiness andshared hope.

Coming into work today Ifound a jar of homemade straw-berry preserves on my desk.Thanks Elaine, you made my day.

2. Pour pears and cooking liquid into afood processor and puree until com-pletely smooth, like applesauce. Mixsugar and scraped vanilla seeds togeth-er in a small bowl.

3. Return puree to cleaned pot andstir in vanilla sugar. Set pot over lowheat and, while stirring frequently, bringto a gentle simmer. Cook until butter isthick, dark and dense, about 45 min-utes.

Adapting coupons to your needsT

here are misconceptions among the non-couponing crowd that all couponers mustprimarily eat junk food, or that coupon-ers have houses filled wall to wall with

groceries. Here are some reader emails thatinvite me to rebut these myths.

Dear Jill,How do you save on groceries when there

are so many coupons for snacks? We likesnacks but I’d really like a coupon for aroast now and then!

Demi K.Dear Jill,I would love to use coupons, however, I

often find that there are not many couponsfor the way my family eats. We chooseorganic and natural foods when we can and Ioften find that the products we usually getdo not run coupons in the paper. Do youhave any suggestions?

Jen T.When I first dove into the couponing

arena, I went in with the intention of buy-ing the same kinds of items I was alreadybuying for my family. I didn’t want to changeour eating habits too much. While we enjoysnacks just as much as anyone else, we eat alot of organics, meats and produce – some ofwhich are a little more difficult for which tocoupon.

I’ve never been the kind of person who ismotivated to buy something simply becauseI happen to have a coupon. For me, anythingI buy has got to be the “right” price for me

to purchase it – whetherthat price is due to acoupon, a sale or a couponand a sale together. WhileI like to try new things,our household also has afew food rules to which weadhere. I won’t give mychildren artificial sweet-ener or high-fructose cornsyrup, which means Ibypass some beverage andsnack deals due to ingredi-ents, regardless of price.We eat fresh produce, but

we eat a good deal of canned and frozen pro-duce too, both for which there are plenty ofcoupons. I use coupons for meats fairlyoften, but they’re usually coupons I’ve foundin the meat department of the stores inwhich I shop.

As far as finding coupons for organic andnatural foods, they are out there, but they’llrequire a little more digging than simplylooking in your newspaper. Manufacturersof these products tend not to put coupons inthe inserts as they appeal to a niche audi-ence. To find coupons for organics, visit thewebsites of your favorite brands and lookfor printable offers. Other websites, likewww.mambosprouts.com, aggregate print-able coupons for organic and natural prod-ucts from a variety of brands.

Wrapping up for today, here’s a letter from

a reader frustrated with coupons thatrequire shoppers to buy multiple items.

Dear Jill,So many of the coupons require the pur-

chase of two, three or more items. Since myhusband and I are both retired and gettingon in years, we don’t purchase in large quan-tities any longer. Is there any way to usethese coupons for the purchase of just oneitem?

Carol C.Unfortunately the answer is no. A coupon

for $1.50 off 3 functions as three separate 50-cent discounts at the register, and the regis-ter looks for the presence of all three itemsbefore it applies the discount. While I under-stand not wanting to buy more than one at atime, buying two or three isn’t necessarilyan overabundance of products. Lately, I’veseen more $1-off-2 toothpaste coupons than Iused to, but are two tubes of toothpaste toomuch? Its expiration date is typically morethan a year away. It’s highly likely we’ll useat least two tubes of toothpaste this year, soif it’s a good deal, why not?

Smart Living Tip: With regards tocoupons that require you to purchase multi-ple items, I can understand not wanting totake a chance on a product that you haven’ttried before. If you buy something and don’tlike it, certainly you don’t want to be stuckwith two more that you won’t use.

You can use plain white marshmallows ifyou can't find the colored ones, or if youprefer the white, just make sure they'reminiature.

Picking a bourbon isn’t the one-two-threechoice it used to be.

There’s been a boom in brands, especiallyfrom small, premium producers, not to men-tion a flood of new styles. Will you go for abarrel-aged ? Honey flavored?

By law, bourbon, a type of whiskey, must beproduced in the United States, made of a grainmix of at least 51 percent corn, distilled at lessthan 160 proof, made without additives savefor water to reduce proof where necessary,and aged in new, charred white oak barrels. Aminimum of two years aging is required tocall the liquor “straight bourbon.”

The growing popularity of bourbon is not an

overnight thing, points out Mike Veach, bour-bon historian at the Filson Historical Societyin Louisville, Ken.

Several factors are at play, including thegrowth of super-premium brands as well asthe craft distilling movement, increased inter-est in bourbon tourism, and the role of socialmedia in publicizing bourbons in ways thatweren’t possible 25 years ago.

Rodeo startsThursday FROM STAFF REPORTS

LAS VEGAS — The Thomasand Mack Center on theUniversity of Nevada Las Vegascampus has made a transitionfrom a wood floor to a dirt arenato host the richest 10 days in thesport of rodeo.

Sheridan’s Chet Johnson returns to NFRFROM RODEO MEDIA RELATIONS

SHERIDAN — Chet Johnson likes Canada, especially duringthe summer months.

It provides a great respite from the heat cowboys can encounterwhile competing in rodeo in the lower 48 states. Sure, it gets a lit-tle damp, but it’s relatively cool and offers quite a bit to someonelike Johnson, a saddle bronc rider who grew up in northwesternWyoming.

Now the Sheridan bronc buster will take his talent and hisdrive to Las Vegas for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, set forDec. 5-14. This marks Johnson’s fourth qualification toProRodeo’s grand championship event, which features only thetop 15 contestants in each event.

“As I go in, I’m a long ways behind the leaders,” he said, notingthat he’s earned $60,569 so far this season and is 12th on thebronc riding money list, about $68,000 behind the leader, two-timeworld champion Cody Wright. “I want to start off with a bang,and I definitely want to get a round win; that’s always a goal outthere to get a go-round buckle.”

In rodeo, dollars equalchampionship points; thecontestants with the mostmoney won in each event atthe conclusion of the NFRwill be crowned world cham-pions. The finale features apurse of $6.25 million, withgo-round winners earning$18,630 each night. They alsowin a prestigious buckle, thewearable trophy that is anhonored hallmark of thesport.

“I’d love to ride all 10 headand win that average title,too,” said Johnson, who graduated from Lusk High School andSheridan College. “That’s a big goal.”

The NFR average championship is the second most prestigioushonor in rodeo, behind only the world championship. It signifiesa fantastic run through the rugged 10-day affair that is the grandfinale and will reward cowboys with the best cumulative scorewith a check worth nearly $48,000.

“If I don’t have a shot at the gold buckle, then I’d sure like toget the other one,” Johnson said. “I can’t worry about just stay-ing on and being safe, because if I safety-up, I can’t stay on. Ihave to be aggressive. I think it goes hand-in-hand; if you stayaggressive all 10 rounds, you have a better chance at riding them,and you have a better chance to win money.”

Unlike most professional athletes, there are no guarantees forcowboys. They pay their own toward travel expenses and, atevery rodeo in which they compete, they must provide an entryfee. Johnson and his traveling posse crisscrossed North Americato try to make a living in the sport they love, and all three cow-boys fared pretty well. Cort Scheer, Tyler Corrington andJohnson all qualified for the NFR. In mid-November, they alsocompeted at the Canadian Finals Rodeo, proof that they succeed-ed north and south of the border. In fact, of Johnson’s four victo-ries in 2013, three were in Canada and were co-sanctioned by theProfessional Rodeo Cowboys Association and the CanadianProfessional Rodeo Association: Innisfail, Alberta, Marwayne,Alberta, and Armstrong, B.C.

“They’ve always been rodeos I’ve wanted to win,” he said.“Innisfail is a big one, and they give a bronze away. It’s one thatuntil this year, I’d only come close to winning. Armstrong wasanother really big one. It’s usually a tough rodeo, and it comes ata time when you need money to finish out the year. I’d won(Marwayne) before, so it’s always to do good in one spot over andover.”

Johnson has done pretty well over the course of his career,which began a dozen years ago. He follows in the footsteps of hisfather, Gary, who competed and worked in rodeo for a number ofyears. In addition, Johnson leans heavily on the support from hismom, Susan, and his sister, Tracy.

“Family is really important to me,” he said. “I’m very close tomy parents and my sister, and they’re a major reason I’ve gone sofar because they supported me so much when I was younger.”

Gary and Susan Johnson have a ranch near Douglas, Wyo., andTracy and her family live in Kaycee, where she has two childrenand works as a graphic designer.

J.R. Vezain, of Cowley, competes in thissummer’s Sheridan-Wyo-Rodeo in July atthe fairgrounds. Vezain is one of fourWyoming cowboys on the 2013 WranglerNational Finals Rodeo competitors list.The event begins Thursday in Vegas, last-ing until Dec. 14.

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Chris Davis raninto the end zone and etched his name incollege football lore.

Doug Flutie welcomes him to the club.No. 3 Auburn’s Davis turned in one of the

most memorable plays of college footballhistory with his 109-yard, last-play returnof a missed field goal to beat No. 4 Alabamaon Saturday. That comes with being longidentified for a single play, like Hail Flutie.

“There’s no doubt that he’ll always beremembered,” Flutie said in a telephoneinterview with The Associated Press. “Ithink the majority of the country are goingto remember the great return in the IronBowl. I think people in Alabama are goingto remember Chris Davis the rest of theirlives.

“Whether it’s an Alabama or Auburn fan,or SEC fans in general, that’s what he’ll beremembered for. He could win Super Bowlsand have a couple of interceptions and intheir mind this is the crowning moment

he’ll always be remembered for.”Flutie knows. Nearly three decades later,

the 1984 Heisman Trophy winner who wenton to play in the CFL and NFL is still bestremembered by millions of fans for hisHail Mary pass to Gerard Phelan to lift No.8 Boston College over No. 12 Miami on Nov.23, 1984.

But even Flutie believes this one was dif-ferent.

The Tigers (11-1) earned a spot in theSoutheastern Conference championshipgame with the victory and remained in thenational title race. It almost certainlyended Alabama’s bid for the first a historicthird consecutive national championship.

“When you go back and look at my HailMary, there was really nothing riding onit,” Flutie said. “We had already accepted aCotton Bowl bid. Miami already had a bowlbid. We were really just playing for fun.

“What made ours so big and what gave itso much attention was it was Thanksgiving

weekend. I think it was the most watchedgame of the year and it was a time whenwe were the underdogs and everybodyloved to hate Miami at that time. All thosefactors went into how big a deal was madeout of that one.”

This Iron Bowl was the second-mostwatched game on CBS this season, behindAlabama-Texas A&M.

The Tigers had beaten Georgia on adeflected Hail Mary two weeks before theIron Bowl. Davis, a cornerback and returnman, then trumped Ricardo Louis’s catchin one of the biggest Auburn-Alabamagames ever.

He was already one of the Tigers’ topdefenders and the leading tackler. Davishad also scored on an 85-yard punt returnagainst Tennessee.

Nice highlights, to be sure. But nothingcompared to what was to come.

Flutie: Auburn’s Davis created lifelong memory

FROM B3

“My dad did just about everything inrodeo,” said Johnson, 33. “By the time Icame around, he was just picking up. Thatwas my first exposure to rodeo.

“I was in high school when I started rid-ing. I went to rodeo Bible camps startingwhen I was a freshman, and I began rodeo-ing pretty hard when I was in high school.”

He turned pro in 2001 and has been goinghard almost every year since. He missedhalf the 2010 season when, after coming offhis bronc, had his head stepped on by thehorse. He sustained three skull fractures,bleeding and swelling on the brain and afractured right eardrum. Johnson returned

to competition in January 2011, accordingto the PRCA media department.

Now he returns to the NFR for the firsttime since 2008, and he’s excited aboutmaking his return to the Thomas & MackCenter. He finished 17th in the 2009 worldstandings, then suffered the injury in 2010.In 2011, he ended the regular season 21st inthe PRCA but won the Canadian bronc rid-ing title. Last year, he finished 23rd.

“Rodeo is a very unique deal,” Johnsonsaid. “It’s not just a job; it’s a lifestyle.You’ve got the different aspects of it.Riding broncs is something I love; it’s achallenge, and you’re always trying toprove yourself and get better all the time.The winning is always good. You also have

a rodeo family out there; they’re your clos-est friends. The people you rodeo with turninto your brothers.”

Like his parents and sister, rodeo familyis vitally important to Johnson, who haspartnered with Wyoming Tourism andRodeo Austin (Texas) in a sponsorshipagreement.

“In Wyoming, our motto is Forever West,and I believe in that and love that my homestate is supporting me in my career,” hesaid. “It’s one of those states that just has alot to offer tourists.

“This is my ninth year with RodeoAustin. They’ve been behind me thelongest and have been pretty loyal throughmy injuries. I’ve had to sit out three times

while they’ve sponsored me, and they’vebeen right there. It’s a great organizationwith a great cause, and I’m pretty honoredto be part of that organization.”

He’s also honored to be a part ofProRodeo’s elite in the sport’s biggestevent.

“I feel a lot better this year than I haveevery other year,” Johnson said. “I comeoff what I feel was a good Canadian Finals,and I feel I rode what I could as well as Icould. This is the healthiest I’ve ever beengoing to the NFR. I’m going to the gymevery day, staying focused. I think a big keyis that you have to have good rides to startthe NFR.

“That’s what I plan to do.”

JOHNSON: Pro since 2001, injuries stunted career but now headed back to NFR

5 former Chiefs sueteam over head injuries

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Five former KansasCity Chiefs players who were on the team between1987 and 1993 filed a lawsuit Tuesday claiming theteam hid and even lied about the risks of headinjuries during that time period when there was nocollective bargaining agreement in place in the NFL.

The lawsuit was filed in Jackson County CircuitCourt on behalf of former players Leonard Griffin,Chris Martin, Joe Phillips, Alexander Louis Cooperand Kevin Porter, all of whom played on defense.

It seeks more than $15,000 in actual and punitivedamages. All five players have opted out of a multi-million-dollar settlement announced this summerthat would compensate former players for their headinjuries.

The Kansas City plaintiffs claim to be sufferingfrom post-concussion syndrome and latent brain dis-ease because of multiple concussions they sustainedwhile playing for the Chiefs.

They all claim also to be suffering from chronictraumatic encephalopathy, which can only be defini-tively diagnosed by examining the brain after death.

Martin, a Kansas City resident who played line-backer for the Chiefs from 1988 to 1993, said at a newsconference he didn’t know that continuing to play ingames after sustaining a head injury would causepermanent damage.

“I would have liked to have the opportunity toknow that going back on the field would cause me tohave severe disabilities later in life,” he said.

“I didn’t know that. That’s what the lawsuit isabout.”

Chiefs spokesman Ted Crews and NFL spokesmanGreg Aiello both declined to comment on the suit.

Hours after Martin talked about his brain injuries,NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s wife, Jane, andthe wives of former NFL players Howie Long andMike Golic led a discussion with hundreds of moth-ers about why they should let their children playfootball.

As part of the safety clinic at the Chiefs’ trainingfacility, roughly 200 women of all ages took part indrills designed to teach them proper tackling tech-niques. Nearly a dozen former Chiefs, including Hallof Fame linebacker Bobby Bell, walked the giddymoms through the drills.

Roger Goodell and Chiefs owner Clark Hunt alsoaddressed the women, but did not bring up the law-suit. They were not available to answer questionsfrom the media.

Plaintiffs’ attorney Ken McClain called the pro-posed $765 million settlement between the NFL andformer players insignificant and said it providescompensation only to the former players with themost severe brain injuries.

None of the five plaintiffs will get monetary com-pensation under that deal, he said.

“All they’re going to be is monitored over time, butno relief will be offered to them,” McClain said. “It’sreally a very small amount of money if you do themath. It’s paid out over 20 years, it’s $765 milliontotal. It’s a little under $20 million a year the teamsare contributing to these very severely injured peo-ple. It’s not very much money.”

It wasn’t known whether similar lawsuits might befiled in other states, given the nation’s patchworkworkers’ compensation laws. McClain said Missouripresented a “unique opportunity” because a stateworkers’ comp statute was amended in 2005 toexclude cases of occupational injury that occur overan extended time.

That exception more commonly applies in work-places where smoking is allowed and workers sufferlung problems because of it. McClain also represent-ed workers at a Jasper popcorn plant who wereawarded millions of dollars in lawsuits claimingthey got cancer because of a chemical in butter fla-voring used at the plant.

The lawsuit says the Chiefs ignored decades ofresearch indicating that concussions cause long-term brain damage, instead referring to the injuriesas “getting your bell rung” or a “ding.” It accuses theteam of lying to players in saying concussions arenot serious injuries.

“Every time I would get a head injury I would stayin or come to the side and get smelling salts and goback in,” Martin said. “The pressure was there. Ifyou were first team, you got all the reps.”

McClain said the notion that CTE can be diagnosedonly through a post-mortem examination is outdat-ed.

“That’s an old position,” he said. “Most of the neu-rologists we’ve been in discussion with believe mostif not all professional football players do have CTE tosome degree or another.”

Fellow plaintiffs’ attorney Dirk Vandever cited arecent UCLA study in which researchers said theywere able to correlate some of the clinical problemsthey found and conclude they likely represent CTE.

“After you see 19 out of 20 brains autopsied haveCTE, as well as the ongoing widespread nature of theinjury to players, doctors are fairly able to concludeplayers, based upon their symptomology, do or do nothave the disease,” Vandever said.

Top 25: ACC wins first day of challenge with Big 10TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Freshman

DEAR ABBYPauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips

Impressionist painterPierre-Auguste Renoir tiedpaintbrushes to his handwhen rheumatoid arthritismade them impossible togrip, and although the dis-ease seems to have beenaround for millennia, whenRenoir's RA hit him in theearly 1890s, it was consideredone of the first documentedcases of the modern era.

Since then, this autoim-mune attack on the lining ofthe joints and erosion of sur-rounding bone has becomemore common -- more than1.3 million North Americanshave it. And the newestresearch shows an associa-tion with fewer beneficialintestinal bacteria and anovergrowth of an inflamma-tory gut bacterium,Prevotella copri.

We think excessive antibi-otic use and/or disruptivechemicals in the food supplyand environment may upsetyour guts' balance of goodand bad bacteria (you've gottrillions of them in there),and can increase vulnerabili-ty to a variety of autoim-mune conditions.

Our suggestion: Help yourbody prevent or manage anautoimmune condition suchas RA by nurturing thosebacteria teeming inside you,

so the good and bad stay inbalance. Eat a high-fiber dietof only 100 percent wholegrains and lots of fresh fruitsand veggies; nix red meat;maintain a healthy weight toreduce bodywide inflamma-tion; and get plenty of exer-cise to keep your metabolismhumming at a good rate.Taking a probiotic supple-ment also may help (we likespore probiotics containingbacillus coagulans GBI-30,6086 and lactobacillus GG, astrain activated by stomachacid). So ask your doctor ifthat's a smart move for you,and for your joints.

DEAR ABBY: I have beenwith my fiance since 2006. Weexpected to be married in2008, but my grandmotherdied a month before my wed-ding, and then he was arrest-ed because of charges stem-ming from a sexual relation-ship he'd had with a 17-year-old girl he had been counsel-ing.

Since then, we have had adaughter, but through it allthere has been cheating,

drugs, jail, no job, and con-stant excuses about why oursex life no longer exists. Wehave also had physical alter-cations, which he was arrest-ed for.

I am no longer happy withthis relationship. The onlyreason I stay is because ofour children. I'm only 33 anddon't want to live my life inmisery anymore, but I willsacrifice my happiness formy children. I am confusedand don't know what to do.I'm just going through themotions in life. I work fulltime, coach my son's soccerteam and am living with MS.

He does help somewhat, butit would be better if he wouldget a job. My mother watchesmy kids while I am workingand after they get out ofschool. He claims because hedoesn't have a driver's licensehe can't get a job. Really?How many people in thisworld don't drive and stillhave a job? Please give me

some advice. I have reachedmy breaking point. -- DOINGTHE BEST I CAN

DEAR DOING THE BESTYOU CAN: You say you arewilling to sacrifice your hap-piness with this loser foryour children. Why? You arenot married to him, and he isemotionally neglectful, physi-cally abusive and contributesnothing financially. Admit toyourself that the "romance"has been a mistake, and assoon as it's safe, get awayfrom him. If he ever finds ajob, the state will help youcollect child support, but ifhe doesn't, you'll have oneless mouth to feed.

DEAR ABBY: My mominsists on including my ex-husband and his wife at ourfamily gatherings. I have toldher repeatedly that it makesme very uncomfortable, butshe even included them inthe gift exchange lastChristmas. What should I do?Not go?

My sister has already laid aguilt trip on me. Must I goand have Christmas with myex like we're one big happyfamily? (If we had beenhappy, we would not have got-ten divorced.) What are yourthoughts on this? -- LIVINGIN DYSFUNCTION JUNC-TION

DEAR LIVING: If you andyour ex were married for along time, I can see why yourmother might consider himstill part of the family andwant to include him.However, out of considera-tion for your feelings, itshould be on a limited basis --not every holiday. (Could shebe trying to punish youbecause she blames you forthe divorce?)

Because it would make youuncomfortable and yourmother knows it, make plansto do something you WOULDenjoy -- perhaps a trip out oftown to be with friends or toa different climate. Andplease, don't feel guilty if youdo -- regardless of what yoursister says.

DEAR ABBY: What do yousay to your only son whocan't even call to tell you heis getting married? He postedit on Facebook, and I wasnotified via a text from mysister.

Our relationship isn't theissue. He just doesn't seem tobe able to use his phone forTALKING. Your thoughts? --OUTSIDE THE LOOP INOREGON

DEAR OUTSIDE THELOOP: Because your sonseems oblivious to the factthat news of this kind shouldbe conveyed to the immediatefamily personally ratherthan in a "bulletin,"EXPLAIN to him how itmade you feel to receive thenews the way you did. Heowes you an apology.

IF HE HAS TOOMANY, TRY FOR ANENDPLAY

Judith Viorst, a novel-ist and poet, said,"Strength is the capacityto break a chocolate barinto four pieces withyour bare hands -- andthen to eat just one ofthe pieces."

Strength at the bridgetable is the capacity tostop an opponent withfour good trumps fromwinning more than onetrick with them. How-ever, doing that may re-quire imagination.

In today's deal, Southis in six hearts. Westleads the spade queen.South takes the trickwith his ace and cashesthe heart ace. East'sspade discard is a badblow. How can South re-cover?

It is unusual to bid aslam after a single raise,but the South hand has

few losers.His three-club rebidwas a help-suit game-try. Andwhen North

jumped to four hearts tosay that he had club as-sistance, it was a fairgamble for South to bidthe slam.

There seem to be twounavoidable trump los-ers. However, if Southcan get his trump lengthreduced, he might beable to endplay West.This requires findingthe West hand with ex-actly 3-4-4-2 distribution.

Declarer plays a dia-mond to dummy's ace,ruffs a diamond in hishand, cashes the spadeking, ruffs his last spadeon the board, trumps an-other diamond, cashesthe club ace, leads a clubto dummy's king, andruffs the last diamond.

Everyone is down tothree cards. South re-tains the king-jack ofhearts and a low club.West has three trumps.So, when declarer leadshis last club, West isforced to ruff and playaway from his heartqueen. Six hearts bidand made!


Hints from Heloise Heloise

WHAT ARE BUTTER-FLA-VORED GRANULES?

Dear Heloise: A few yearsago, my mother gave me a bookof recipes from her church.Several of the recipes call forBUTTER-FLAVORED GRAN-ULES. What are they, andwhere can I find them? -- L.King in California

Butter-flavored granules area powdered form of butter thatis fat-free, gluten-free and goodfor those watching calories.The main ingredients are natu-ral butter flavor (processed intoa dry form), maltodextrin (anatural carbohydrate thatcomes from corn) and salt.

You can find them in mostgrocery stores in the baking orspice aisle. Keep the top sealedtightly, and once opened, storein the refrigerator. They aregood to keep on hand, as theycan be used for many foods. --Heloise

P.S.: I love them! I sometimesmix some with nonfat sourcream or yogurt to top a bakedpotato. Or I use them onsteamed veggies, in brown ricewith veggies and on hot oat-meal, among a few otherthings.

STORINGKETCHUP

Dear Readers: Didyou know thatketchup has a highacid level and so itdoesn't NEED to be

refrigerated? Depending onwhere you keep it and the tem-perature, though, its stabilityand quality can be affected.

So, what do you do? You canstore ketchup in the pantry, butmanufacturers recommendthat you refrigerate it for thebest flavor and quality. Thesame with mustard: You don'thave to refrigerate it, but it isrecommended. -- Heloise

EATING OUTDear Heloise: A year ago, I de-

cided to really take care of my-self. Healthier food choices arenow a part of my life. A lot ofmy meals are eaten in restau-rants. Here are some tips I usewhen eating out:

* Sauces and gravies "on theside" or not at all.

* Salad dressing on the side.* Order food that is broiled,

steamed or roasted. Anythingfried is full of fat grams andcalories.

* Red sauce instead of white

HOUSTON (AP) — Dexter Fowler is look-ing forward to a new beginning with the re-building Houston Astros while also dealingwith what he calls a bittersweet ending tohis time with the Colorado Rockies.

Astros acquired the outfielder and aplayer to be named from the Rockies onTuesday for outfielder Brandon Barnes andright-hander Jordan Lyles.

Drafted by Colorado in 2004, Fowler hasspent his entire career with the Rockies. Hejoins a team that has posted three straight100-plus loss seasons, including a franchise-record 111 losses in 2013 in its first year inthe American League.

“There are definitely challenges, but atthe same time you just got to look at thepositives,” Fowler said. “And the positiveis that there are young guys here andthey’re eager to win and they’re eager toput their (effort) into the game ... anything Ican do to help, I’m just going to go out andplay hard every day and I’m sure we’ll defi-nitely see the tides turn.”

The speedy 27-year-old Fowler hit .263with 18 doubles, 42 RBIs and 19 stolen basesin 119 games last season. Fowler, a switch-

hitter who primarily plays center field, hit.300 in 2012.

“One of our goals this offseason was tobring in an outfielder who can spark our of-fense,” Houston general manager Jeff Luh-now said. “Dexter is an exciting player whocan help with the bat, with his legs, andwith his glove.”

Fowler missed a big chunk of the lastmonth of the season with an injured leftknee, but said Tuesday that the problemwas behind him.

“I’m awesome,” he said. “I’m healthy andready to go.”

Fowler hasn’t had any extended conver-sations with Luhnow, but expects to playcenter field for the Astros next season andcalled the position “home.” He isn’t wor-ried about navigating Tal’s Hill in centerfield at Minute Maid Park.

“I played in the biggest yard in majorleague baseball, so I don’t think anything isas challenging as Coors is,” he said.

The Astros had the lowest payroll in themajors last season at less than $30 million.Houston owner Jim Crane said this offsea-son that he planned to start investing

money into the payroll this season, andTuesday’s move is a sign that he was seri-ous about that statement. Fowler is set tomake $7.35 next season before he is eligiblefor arbitration in 2015.

Fowler said he doesn’t know any of theAstros players. He said he does know man-ager Bo Porter and is looking forward toplaying for him.

Fowler is spending this offseason in SaltLake City and said he’ll train there untilspring training because he and his wife areexpecting their first child in January.

“She can’t travel,” he said, “so neithercan I.”

The 23-year-old Lyles was 7-9 with onesave and a 5.59 ERA in 27 games — 25 starts— in 2013. He was a supplemental first-round pick by the Astros in 2008 and fills aneed the Rockies have for a startingpitcher. Lyles made his debut at 20 and al-ready has 65 career starts. He feels fortu-nate to have so much experience at such ayoung age.

“I’m going to continue to learn,” he said.“I’ll never stop trying to learn.”

But he does know that pitching at CoorsField won’t be easy.

“The park is obviously different,” he said.“A lot of people don’t like going there, butI’m up for the challenge and I think it’sgoing to be fun.”

Barnes, also 27, hit .240 with eight homeruns and 41 RBIs as a rookie last season. Healso became known for his knack for hus-tling to make great catches in center field.

“I’m excited for a new chapter and a newexperience,” Barnes said. “I’ve alwaysprided myself on how hard I work and Iplan on working really hard there andbeing a part of the Rockies’ future andhopefully winning some championships.”

Astros get OF Dexter Fowler in trade with Rockies‘I played in the biggest yard in major

league baseball, so I don’t think

anything is as challenging as Coors is.’

FROM B3

Davis, who was not made available forinterviews this week, posted on TwitterMonday that he received a standing ovationin his geology class. He’d better get used tothe extra attention.

Flutie said people still bring up HailFlutie “well over once a day” on average.It’s a frequent icebreaker for people whenthey first meet him, and he tries to be gra-cious about it.

His advice to Davis: Just go with it.“Don’t let it become routine,” Flutie said.

“Go ahead and enjoy it. What the heck.This is the way I view it is, there’s a lot ofguys that have had tremendous careers andwithin a couple of years after they’re donethey’re forgotten about. At least you’regoing to have that moment that people willremember.

“I won a Heisman and they still remem-ber the Hail Mary over the Heisman.”

Flutie said he called Davis’ return whilewatching the Iron Bowl on TV. He routinelysaw field goal attempts returned in the CFLbecause the rules give the offense a point ifa miss isn’t run out of the end zone

So when officials restored one second tothe clock after a T.J. Yeldon run set upAlabama’s 57-yard try, Flutie had an idea ofwhat was coming.

“As soon as they put one second back onthe clock, I turned to my wife and I said,‘They’re going to try a really long field goaland this guy’s going to return it for atouchdown,” Flutie said.

Still, there was nothing routine aboutDavis’ effort.

It was only the fourth time a 100-plusyard return has happened in college,according to NCAA records.

It also happened in a rivalry where fansremember certain plays for decades.

In the 1972 Iron Bowl, a one-loss Auburnteam beat a previously undefeatedAlabama team 17-16 when Bill Newtonblocked two punts in the final minutes andDavid Langner returned both for touch-downs.

Langner still hears about it and said thename recognition helped him land jobsduring his career. He lives in Tuscaloosaand coincidentally attended the sameBirmingham high school as Davis.

“Forty years later, it’s every day,”Langner said. “Everybody remembers thename. They’re like, ‘I’ve heard that name.’It’s just been part of my life since that dayit happened, and it will be for that kid.”

Just on an even grander scale.Langner figures that will be “the most

remembered game in the history ofAuburn.”

AUBURN: Davis has moment to remember

NEW YORK (AP) — TheYankees are flashing theircash, adding JacobyEllsbury to a shoppingspree that started withBrian McCann.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia isalso leaving the WorldSeries champion Red Sox,heading to the last-placeMiami Marlins.

And Boston already haslined up a catching replace-ment in A.J. Pierzynski.

Add in a pair of trades byOakland, a three-team dealinvolving Arizona,Cincinnati and Tampa Bay,plus two other swapsTuesday, and baseball’sbusiness season has startedto boil a week before thewinter meetings.

Ellsbury struck the third-highest deal for an outfield-er in baseball history, a $153million, seven-year contractwith the Yankees, who areretooling after missing theplayoffs for just the secondtime in 19 years. The centerfielder was to take a physi-cal in New York onWednesday that he mustpass before the deal can befinalized, the person said,speaking on condition ofanonymity because nostatements were author-ized.

Earlier Tuesday, NewYork finalized an $85 mil-lion, five-year contract with

All-Star catcher BrianMcCann.

There is a long history ofstars moving fromBeantown to the Big Appleduring their careers. BabeRuth was the most famous,and Roger Clemens, WadeBoggs and Johnny Damonfollowed.

Ellsbury, who turned 30 inSeptember, led the majorswith 52 stolen bases despitebeing hobbled late in theseason by a broken rightfoot. The lefty-hitting lead-off man batted .298 withnine homers and 53 RBIs,and the short right-fieldporch at Yankee Stadiumshould boost his powernumbers.

Ellsbury’s deal includes a$21 million option for the2021 season, with a $5 mil-lion buyout. If the option isexercised, the deal would beworth $169 million overeight years. Among out-fielders, only $160 millioncontracts for MannyRamirez and Matt Kempare more lucrative.

Pierzynski agreed to aone-year contract with theRed Sox, a person withknowledge of those negotia-tions said, also on conditionof anonymity because theagreement wasn’t final.

The lefty-hittingPierzynski and rightyDavid Ross, Boston’s back-up, both will be 37 next sea-son. With catchingprospects ChristianVazquez and Blake Swihartmaking their way up thesystem, the Red Sox werereluctant to give a multi-year deal to Saltalamacchia.

Pierzynski hit .272 with 17homers and 70 RBIs lastseason with Texas.

Saltalamacchia agreed to

a $21 million, three-yeardeal with the 100-lossMarlins, two people famil-iar with those negotiationssaid, also on condition ofanonymity because the con-tract had not been finalized.

Saltalamacchia startedthe past three seasons forthe Red Sox and hit acareer-high .273 with 15homers, 40 doubles and 65RBIs last season. He hit .188in the postseason and wasbenched during the WorldSeries.

Also Tuesday, Minnesotacompleted a $49 million,four-year contract withright-hander Ricky Nolasco.The Twins, coming offtheir third straight seasonof at least 86 losses, also isfinishing a $24 million,three-year deal with right-hander Phil Hughes that isexpected to be announcedlater this week.

“This isn’t a change inphilosophy,” general man-ager Terry Ryan said.“We’ve always said if weneed to do something nowwe have the resources to doit. ... If we were still in theMetrodome, this probablywouldn’t happen. But we’rein Target Field. We’ve gotmore revenue andresources, certainly. This isa nice opportunity. We needpitching. We went out andgot it.”

Nolasco made 33 startslast season for the Marlinsand Los Angeles Dodgers,going 13-11 with a 3.70 ERA.

Heath Bell was part of athree-team trade for the sec-ond straight offseason.Tampa Bay acquired Bellfrom Arizona and catcherRyan Hanigan fromCincinnati, and the Rayssent right-hander Justin

Choate and a player to benamed to Arizona. TheDiamondbacks sent left-hander David Holmberg toCincinnati.

Bell was 5-2 with a 4.11ERA with 15 saves last sea-son and wants to close.

“I think I have a shot ofwinning that job, the ninth-inning job, but I see my roleas being to come in tospring training and showthem what I can do,” Bellsaid.

Hanigan agreed to a$10.75 million, three-yearcontract and is looking for-ward to playing for manag-er Joe Maddon, who’s ledthe Rays to the playoffs infour of the past six seasons.

“The numbers speak forthemselves in terms of thecompetitiveness of the teamyear after year. It’s a greatthing they have going,”Hanigan said.

After acquiring JimJohnson from Baltimore onMonday night and reachingan agreement with free-agent pitcher Scott Kazmir,Oakland obtained outfielderCraig Gentry and right-han-der Josh Lindblom fromTexas for outfielderMichael Choice and infield-er Chris Bostick. TheAthletics also obtainedright-hander LukeGregerson from San Diegofor outfielder Seth Smith.

In other deals,Philadelphia acquiredright-hander Brad Lincolnfrom Toronto for catcherErik Kratz and left-handerRob Rasmussen; andHouston obtained outfielderDexter Fowler and a playerto be named from Coloradofor outfielder BrandonBarnes and right-handerJordan Lyles.
