proposal for sanitation

service FROM STAFF REPORTS

CLEARMONT —Members of ClearmontTown Council votedMonday to reject a pro-posal from BaldMountain Sanitation toprovide garbage collec-tion services for the town.

Mayor Chris Schocksaid that councilorsdecided the town was self-sufficient and able to han-dle its own garbage serv-ice.

In November, theCouncil received a pro-posal from ScottGruntmeir with BaldMountain Sanitation andhad thought it may beworth switching to theprivate service if the feeswere comparable to cur-rent rates. However, afterfurther consideration,councilors decided not tochange the service at thistime.

National ElkRefuge plan apartial success

JACKSON (AP) —Managers of the NationalElk Refuge in northwestWyoming are seeing mixedresults halfway into a 15-year management plan thatset objectives for elk andbison populations, habitatconditions and otherrefuge issues.

Counter to goals, theaverage number of elk onhuman supplied feed hasrisen significantly com-pared with the seven yearsleading into the 2007 Bisonand Elk Management Plan.The intensity of feeding,which has occurred everyyear since the plan's com-pletion, has stayed aboutthe same, again counter togoals.

But in accordance withthe long-term managementplan, bison numbers arefalling and the amount ofnatural forage on therefuge has jumped consid-erably.

Since the U.S. Fish andWildlife Service approvedthe plan nearly eight yearsago, one success story hasbeen the irrigation systemand its benefits for grassesand other elk edibles.

"We've increased averageforage production by 16percent," refuge biologistEric Cole said.

Record 10.1 million touristsvisit Wyoming in 2014

CHEYENNE (AP) — A record 10.1 million peo-ple visited Wyoming last year, accounting for anestimated $3.3 billion of the state’s economy, andthe state tourism director is hopeful that lowergasoline prices will result in more touristsspending more money in the state this year.

“If all things remain the same and the price offuel stays relatively low, consumers should havemore money to spend,” Diane Shober, executivedirector of the Wyoming Office of Tourism,said. “We already know they’re willing to travel,that they’re interested to travel to our destina-tion, and so when you have that much more dis-cretionary income, we anticipate not only seeingmore travelers but seeing them spend morewhile they’re here.”

The number of people visiting Wyoming in2014 was up 11 percent from 9.07 million in 2014.It was the highest percentage growth in oneyear since tracking began in 1998.

SHERIDAN — While a ratio of one technol-ogy device to one student, or 1:1, has beentouted and sought in varying degrees at eachof the local districts, concerns over utiliza-tion of technology and future implementationhas varied widely.

Sheridan High School Principal BrentLeibach said after 35 year in the field of edu-

cation and a lifetime in schools as the son ofa teacher, he’s seen instructional tools comeand go. Regardless of the device, he is moreconcerned with how it is being used.

“I’ve seen from chalk boards to whiteboards to smart boards to smartphones, butnothing is comparable to what we’ve seen inthe last five years in terms of what our stu-dents know,” Leibach said. “And my concernnow is are we ahead of that, or are we even ina place where there is a balance that ourteachers, our parents and our schools areahead of the kiddos so that we can direct howwe’re going to use this technology to supportthem.”

In Sheridan County School District 1, thetechnology has primarily become a supporterof the district’s “anywhere, anytime” style of

learning. With lesson plans and assignmentson an online learning management systemthe students can keep up with coursework ina variety of ways.

While SCSD1 Technology Director JudySteingass said she sees the use of technologyslowly increasing in the classroom, shebelieves there are still a few things that needto happen to utilize it to its full potential. Theinfrastructure to support it needs to be put inplace, teacher instruction needs to occur tolearn ways to implement it in the classroomand the knowledge that use of tecnology is abalance between instructional time and tech-nology time needs to be understood, she said.

ELK: Increased efforts in disease controlFROM 1

"I can say with confidence that it hasenabled us to start (feeding) later undersome circumstances," Cole told the JacksonHole News & Guide. "Unfortunately the neteffect has been no change in the averagefeed season length."

Year-to-year variables — such as snowconditions, elk and bison numbers and theduration the ungulates are on the refuge —are among the reasons why the feeding sea-son has not been shortened, he said.

In addition, the number of elk using thesupplied feed on the 24,700-acre refuge hasrisen.

"In the seven years prior to implementa-tion of the plan, the average numbers ofelk on feed were approximately 5,800," Colesaid. "In the seven years post, the averagenumber of elk on feed has actuallyincreased to around 7,000. So clearly we'renot meeting that 5,000 elk objective."

Last winter nearly 8,300 elk were talliedusing the refuge's feed lines, the highestnumber since 1998.

However, efforts to reduce bison numbershave gone well thanks in part to hunting,

refuge officials said."There were 1,250 bison the year we start-

ed" on the plan, refuge Manager SteveKallin said. "If they had been leftunchecked, I don't know what the popula-tion would be now, but it would be huge."

Based on hunter harvest and typical calfproduction, about 700 bison are estimatedon the refuge. The goal is a population ofaround 500.

As for other refuge issues, Kallin said hebelieves there has been improvement since2007 in habitat and disease management.

"One of the things that we have done isreally stepped up our efforts for monitoringdiseases and chronic wasting disease espe-cially," Kallin said. "We've really stepped upthe monitoring to ensure that if or when itwould occur we would be on it right away."

Given the complexity of wildlife manage-ment in Jackson Hole, Kallin said heexpected a gradual achievement of themany goals included in the 15-year plan.

"We've got 100 years of managing a cer-tain way, and as we move toward modifyingthat, change will be difficult and it will befairly slow, he said. "I can't say I'm sur-prised."

TECH: Leibach: Technology is nothing without other factors of good educationFROM 1

“There is a curriculum piece that needsto be put in place too — what sort of toolsare out there and available to support ourcurriculum — and researching that takestime,” Steingass said.

In SCSD2, that curriculum and utilizationresearch is taking place in the form of pro-fessional learning communities and districttechnology integrators working together tofind the best ways to use technology.

SCSD2 Technology Director Coree Kellysaid one of the biggest tools the district uti-lizes is the Google suite, which includesemail but also things like collaborative doc-uments and storage space, all for free.

“The collaboration you can do because ofshared documents is revolutionary,” Kellysaid. “I used to have to spend for the dis-trict about $25,000 a year on just managingemail and licensing email not includingstudents’ emails, and now with free Googlemail we’re able to put that money into adevice that can be in the hands of thekids.”

SCSD2 Technology IntegrationCoordinator Ryan Schasteen said with thedevices and the access they provide, theteachers have the ability to assess the stu-dents quickly and more frequently, and thestudents have the ability to produce morewriting and original work.

He added that every teacher has the free-dom to do what works for them.

“It is definitely not the expectation that ifthere is a Chromebook in the classroomthat it be used 100 percent of the time,” hesaid. “It’s a shift that we want teachers tomake when it’s going to be a good shift fortheir students. There’s a saying that tech-nology should be like oxygen, it’s invisibleand nobody sees it but it is absolutelyessential to everything we do. It’s just thereand readily available so teachers can focuson what is the best way to integrate this inthe overall lesson plan.”

With online tools available for free,administrators are seeking other cost sav-ing tools technology may offer.

One aspect this may affect in the future isthe use of textbooks.

“When Chromebooks first came aroundthe social studies department started debat-ing whether online textbooks were the wayto go or hard copy textbooks were the wayto go, and what the teachers actually foundwas that with a Chromebook you haveaccess to the entirety of human knowledgeand there are resources out there that areamazing that may not be part of a textbookso the discussion became, do we even needtextbooks at all?” Schasteen said. “If wehave curriculum defined and we know whatwe want our students to learn, then whycan’t we just pull in all the resources of theInternet and create a lesson of our own?That’s what the social studies departmentis doing a lot.”

But, Leibach noted that the technology isnothing without other fac-

tors of good education.“I think the concept of 1:1 is a great idea,

but the key component of instruction overthe course of history has been high-qualityteachers delivering high-quality instruc-tion to the lowest group of students in theclassroom possible,” Leibach added. “Whatwe’ve got to do is make sure we are provid-ing those high-quality instruction with adirection of how we want them to use thedevices. Because if all we’re going to do isgive students assignments that they canaccess on Schoology or some other site, is itreally that much different from what we’vebeen doing?”

He also said with changing technology,the role of teachers is changing.

“We don’t have to give them informationanymore; we don’t have to open them upand pour in all the data, they have moreaccess to information than they need,”Leibach said. “I really think that’s thebiggest paradigm shift in this profession.Our question now becomes, are we takingthat to the next level of using that informa-tion to be problem solvers, think independ-ently and learn independently?”

No matter what the future of technologymay hold, Leibach said the teacher willalways be the key component to education.

“I’ve seen a lot of trends,” he said. “I’veseen of things come that are going to‘change the world.’ Yeah, I don’t doubt thatis true. But in the end we still have to goback to providing the best instruction, nomatter what it looks like.”

Large student debt load limits young Americans’ home-buyingWASHINGTON (AP) —

Younger Americans arestruggling to keep up withsteadily-rising student debtloads, a burden that is limit-ing their ability to buyhomes.

The Federal Reserve Bankof New York said Tuesdaythat the percentage of stu-dent loans 90 days or moreoverdue rose to 11.3 percentin the final three months oflast year, up from 11.1 per-cent in the previous quar-ter. That’s the highest in ayear. Total student borrow-

ing now stands at $1.16 tril-lion, the most on record and7.1 percent higher than 12months earlier.

Previous research by theNew York Fed has foundthat younger Americanswith student loans are lesslikely to take out mortgagesthan those without studentdebt. That’s a reversal fromthe pre-recession pattern.

“Student loan delinquen-cies and repayment prob-lems appear to be reducingborrowers’ ability to formtheir own households,” saidDonghoon Lee, a researchofficer at the bank.

Americans are also strug-gling with auto loans, thereport showed, but aredoing a better job keepingup with all of their otherdebts.

Just 7.3 percent of creditcard balances are 90 days ormore overdue, down from

7.5 percent in the previousquarter. Credit card delin-quencies have fallensharply since the GreatRecession after reaching apeak of nearly 14 percent 4½ years ago. The currentlevel is near the lowestsince the New York Fedbegan tracking the data in1999.

Delinquency rates formortgages and home equitylines of credit also fell inlast year’s fourth quarterfrom the previous threemonths. About 3.1 percentof mortgages are delin-quent, down from nearly 9percent in early 2010. That’sstill higher than the 1 per-cent to 1.5 percent that wastypical before the recession.

Auto loans are anothersource of concern for theNew York Fed. About 3.5percent are 90 days or moreoverdue, up from 3.1 per-

cent three months earlier.That’s the first significantincrease after four years ofsteady declines.

The data point to long-term changes in howAmericans are using credit.After a debt-fueled housingand consumption binge inthe last decade that con-tributed to the 2008 finan-cial crisis, Americans aremore cautious about creditcard and housing-relateddebt.

Americans had $700 bil-lion in credit card debt atthe end of last year, up just$17 billion, or 2.5 percent,from 12 months earlier.That’s down from $824 bil-lion when the recessionended in mid-2009.Mortgage debt, by far thelargest category of house-hold debt, rose 1.5 percentin the past year to $8.17 tril-lion.

TOURISTS: State to increase marketing in Seattle area this yearFROM 1

Those tourists generated about $159 million inlocal and state tax revenues, an increase of 10.8percent from $144 million in 2013.

Yellowstone National Park is known world-wide, but tourists around the world also have afascination with the American cowboy, Shobersaid.

“Very prevalent in European countries butalso even if you go to China the things thatthey’ll know and some of the things that theywill say are cowboys and Yellowstone,” she said.“Those are both right in our wheel house.”

But state tourism marketing efforts seek tointerest tourists in more than just Yellowstone.

Since about 75 percent of the people visitingWyoming travel via automobile, the state usessocial media and traditional advertising toentice tourists to visit other areas of the state,Shober said.

“It intrigues them to do many other things iftheir ultimate destination is one of our nationalparks,” she said. “That’s where the economicbenefit of a destination drive really benefitsother places. Because as people are going to andfrom Yellowstone, they’re stopping at places likeCheyenne, Laramie, Casper or Gillette,Sheridan, Buffalo.

“And then married with the tourism market-ing efforts of those communities, many timespeople are spending a day or maybe adding onan extra half day in places throughoutWyoming that they wouldn’t normally be if itweren’t for the marketing efforts of the tourismindustry.”

Shober said Wyoming is constantly monitor-ing markets and potential markets to reach peo-ple who might consider visiting the state.

This year, the state will be increasing its pitchin the Seattle area.

“We have seen for years strong indicationsfrom Seattle,” she said.

The marketing is important because the com-petition among states for tourists is intense,Shober said.

“The challenge that we have is making sure

that Wyoming is the destination of choice,” shesaid.

As the number two industry in Wyoming,tourism is vital to the state’s economy. The hos-pitality and tourism industry is responsible forover 31,000 full- and part-time jobs in Wyoming.

Partygoers mingle during the Sheridan WYO Rodeo Street Dance in July 2014 on Main Street. The Streetdance is just one of many events that brings visitors to Sheridan County throughout the year.

CLEARMONT: UpgradesFROM 1

Councilors also discussed aproposal received from DaleBuckingham Architects for thedesign of bathroom upgrades atthe town park and the design ofa new restroom facility to bebuilt in the small park onMeade Avenue. The upgradeswould make the bathroomsADA compliant.

After examining the proposal,Council members decided to askDale Buckingham Architects tosend a representative to theMarch Council meeting toexplain the details and proposedcosts in the proposal.

Members of the board for theSoutheast Sheridan CountyEmergency Response Serviceattended Monday’s meeting toask for town sponsorship on agrant application for a newambulance. The Council votedto sponsor the grant, which willbe submitted in September. Theservice provides ambulance andemergency care services toClearmont residents.

The Council voted to move itsMarch meeting to 6 p.m. March9 because a member was goingto be out of town during theregularly scheduled meetingtime.

In other business, Schock toldthe Council in his mayor’s report:

• that the ClearmontHistorical Group received a$5,000 grant from the LauraJane Musser Fund that will be

At this point, Clearmont hasnot placed a loan request, butSchock said the town’s namemust be on the list in order torequest a loan so he decided toplace it on the list for possiblefuture use. DWSRF loans can beused for water line replace-ments and other water projects.

• that the Omnibus Water Billwas likely to pass theLegislature and receiveapproval from Gov. Matt Mead.If the bill passes, Clearmontwill receive funds to test fornew water well sites that willreplace aging wells in town.

• that the request from Meadto appropriate an additional $25million to cities and towns hasdied in the Legislature.However, Schock said he hishoping that a $10 million appro-priation may be approved.

• that he had learned at theWyoming Association ofMunicipalities winter confer-ence in Cheyenne that theCouncil needs to seek to be astransparent as possible to bestserve the public. He remindedcouncil members that evenemail correspondence betweencouncilors is public.

was sentenced Tuesday in 4thJudicial District Court for conspira-cy to deliver a controlled substance.

Judge John Fenn accepted a pleaagreement that included a sentenceof two to four years, suspended inlieu of three years supervised pro-bation.

Conspiracy to deliver is a felonythat carries a possible 10 years inprison and $10,000 in fines.

Charges against Casey Van Haele,25, were filed in May following thearrest of her boyfriend, JoshFlaharty, on an existing warrant fol-lowing a traffic stop. When policesearched the vehicle, they foundmarijuana, THC wax, morphinepills, paraphernalia and a ledgerwith names and dollar amounts list-ed. The investigation was turnedover to the Division of CriminalInvestigation, and a warrant wasobtained for Flaharty’s Facebookaccount, and Van Haele’s complicitywas discovered.

Facebook messages betweenFlaharty and Van Haele indicatedthat Flaharty and Van Haele alsosold marijuana, LSD and possiblycocaine. Deals appeared to havetaken place in Sheridan at localbusinesses.

Van Haele’s guilty plea was theresult of a plea agreement, whichDeputy County and ProsecutingAttorney, Dianna Bennett recom-mended, though she expressed con-

cern that Van Haele wished to con-tinue her relationship withFlaharty.

Van Haele’s attorney Erin Wardellalso asked that the court honor theplea agreement, telling the courtthat Van Haele had moved into anew home, was working in her ownbusiness and was taking GED class-es.

Week two of the Spring2014 Sheridan FilmFestival this week

(Wednesday) will feature the movie“Selma.” Most know the story of Dr. MartinLuther King’s campaign to secure equal vot-ing rights and the march from Selma,Alabama, to the Mississippi state capitol inMontgomery, Alabama in 1965.

The film is not without controversy: it por-trays President Lyndon Johnson as anobstructionist to this sweeping federal legis-lation. Former Johnson staffers, familymembers and other critics say the portrayalis inaccurate. Dr. King’s actual speecheswere not used because King family memberswould not assent. King family membershave sold the rights to his speeches toDreamworks and Steven Spielberg.

That said, it’s a Best Picture nominee fornext Sunday’s Academy Award presenta-tion. Its song, “Glory,” is also up for anOscar. Curtain at the Centennial Theatre:4:30 and 7:15 p.m.

Ten paintings by Sheridan artist BillGollings are in the news lately. SheridanSchool District 2 owns them and they’reworth millions of dollars. Negotiationsregarding the artwork’s future between theschool district and Whitney Benefits areongoing.

While doing some spring-cleaning theother day, I came across a Sheridan Pressfrom Nov. 7, 1932. The “flag” of the newspa-per is distinctive: a Bighorn sheep standingproudly between the two names “Sheridan”and “Press” with the Bighorn Mountains asa backdrop. I’m thinking this flag was usedat the top of the Press’ front page for manyyears. In the right hand corner of the art-work, there’s a distinctive signature as well,“Gollings.”

I’m not sure when it first appeared, whenit disappeared, who hired Gollings to do theartwork or what was paid.

The condition of the particular newspaperis fragile and it’s from Monday, Nov. 7, 1932.What’s noteworthy: two front page stories.In one, President Herbert Hoover makes alast-minute campaign stop in Cheyenne theprevious night, arriving at about 11 p.m.before a crowd of an estimated 4,000 per-sons. He made no speech, saying Sundaywas his day of rest regarding speeches. Helooked weary, the report said, and his 30-minute scheduled appearance was reducedto five minutes of waving from the back ofthe train.

The story on the other side of the frontpage of the Press that day was a wire storyabout Hoover’s opponent, Franklin D.Roosevelt. He was campaigning “robustly”that day near his New York home. Also inthat issue was a story about how theSheridan Electric Company was lowering itscity light rate (street lamps) to citizens by 15percent, settling “an old controversy.”

Roosevelt is elected the next day byAmerican voters by a landslide, carrying 42states to Hoover’s six.

asset management. The minimum quali-fication for the job is five years ofadministrative experience and threeyears of finance experience.

Any CEO or CFO from the private sec-tor could meet the job description. Thejob does not require experience in publicadministration. The new financial andadministrative director has no obliga-tion to disclose personal investment, orpartnership stakes, in companies withpossible contracts with the city. Thedirector is the clerk, treasurer andadministrator, over all city departments.The director has no obligation to ask forlegal opinion. By the job description, theposition opens a door for corruption; the

public and private partnership of cronycapitalism.

The city will place all of its eggs in onedirector’s basket. The director can quitthe job at anytime and without explana-tion. It has been said, more than once,that the mayors “come and go,” that thecity needs an unelected administrator tokeep the wheels of government greased.

In 2008, the voters of Sheridan voteddown a city administrator. The city isnow ready to hire this superman for$132,000 per year.

It will be interesting to see who getsthe job.

When Alfred E. Neuman said "Whatme worry?" on the cover of Madmagazine, it was funny. But thismessage was not nearly as funny

coming from President Barack Obama andhis National Security Advisor, Susan Rice.

In a musical comedy, it would be hilari-ous to have the president send out his

"happy talk" messageby someone whosecredibility was alreadythoroughly discreditedby her serial lies on tel-evision about theBenghazi terroristattack in 2012.

Unfortunately —indeed, tragically —the world today isabout as far from amusical comedy as youcan get, with terroristsrampaging across the

Middle East, leaving a trail of unspeak-able atrocities in their wake, and withIran moving closer to producing anuclear bomb, with an intercontinentalmissile on the horizon.

We will be lucky to get through theremainder of President Obama's term inoffice without a major catastrophe, fromwhich we may or may not recover.

Iran has announced repeatedly that itplans to wipe Israel off the face of theearth. But you don't need an interconti-nental missile to reach Israel from Iran.Teheran is less than a thousand milesfrom Jerusalem. As was said long ago,"Send not to know for whom the belltolls. It tolls for thee."

It was painfully ironic to hear Ms. Ricetell us that the danger we face today isnot as serious as the dangers we faced in

World War II.Anyone who has actually studied the

period that led up to World War II knowsthat the Western democracies followedfeckless policies remarkably similar tothose that we are following today. Andanyone who studies that war itselfknows that the West came dangerouslyclose to losing it before finally gettingtheir act together and turning thingsaround.

In a nuclear age, we may not have timeto let reality finally sink in on our lead-ers and wake up the public to the dan-gers.

There was lots of "happy talk" in theWest while Hitler was building up hisNazi war machine during the 1930s, asthe Western intelligentsia were urgingthe democracies to disarm.

The dangers of Hitler's sudden rise topower in Germany during the early 1930swere played down, and even ridiculed, bypoliticians, journalists and the intelli-gentsia in both Britain and France.

A temporary political setback for theNazis in 1933 was hailed by a Frenchnewspaper as "the piteous end ofHitlerism" and a British newspaper saideven earlier that Hitler was "done for."Prominent British intellectual HaroldLaski opined that Hitler was "a cheapconspirator rather than an inspired revo-lutionary, the creature of circumstancesrather than the maker of destiny."

In other words, Hitler and the Naziswere the "junior varsity" of their day, inthe eyes of the know-it-alls.

Even after Hitler consolidated his polit-ical power in Germany, imposed a dicta-torship and began building up a massivewar machine, the Western democraciescontinued to believe that they could

reach a peaceful understanding withhim.

There was euphoria in the West whenBritish Prime Minister NevilleChamberlain returned from a conferencein Munich, waving an agreement signedby Hitler, and declaring that it meant"peace for our time." Our time turned outto be less than one year before thebiggest and most ghastly war in historybroke out in 1939.

Today, when people can graduate fromeven our most prestigious colleges anduniversities utterly ignorant of history,many people — even in high places —have no idea how close the Westerndemocracies came to losing World WarII.

For the first three years of that war,the West lost battle after battle in bothEurope and Asia. France collapsed andsurrendered after just six weeks of fight-ing, and few expected the British to sur-vive the blitzkrieg Hitler unleashed onthem from the air. Americans weredefeated by the Japanese in thePhilippines and, as prisoners of war,faced the horrors of the infamousBataan death march.

When the British finally won the battleof El Alamein in North Africa inNovember 1942, this was their first victo-ry, more than three years after Britainentered the war.

A nuclear war is not likely to last threeyears, so there is unlikely to be timeenough to recover from years of glib,foolish words and catastrophic decisions.

‘SNL’ celebrates its big 4-0 with an anniversary specialNEW YORK (AP) — With a

measure of anniversaryhoopla perhaps exceededonly by the nation’s bicen-tennial, “Saturday NightLive” celebrated its 40th sea-son on Sunday with a 3½-hour gala of stars, laughsand memories.

It aired live from NewYork’s Studio 8H at NBC,which has been “SNL” HQsince premiering on aSaturday night in October1975. It was a black-tie eventso jammed with “SNL” alum-ni and other celebs theyfueled an hour-long red car-pet event before the big showeven began. Some 80 nameswere listed in the openingcredits.

It started with a medley ofcatchphrases, music andcharacters performed byJimmy Fallon and JustinTimberlake that concluded,inevitably, with their pro-nouncement, “Live fromNew York, it’s SaturdayNight!”

Who was the rightful host?

Steve Martin stepped upfirst, but was joined one byone by stars includingPeyton Manning, TomHanks, Alec Baldwin, BillyCrystal, Melissa McCarthy,Paul McCartney and PaulSimon to dispute his selec-tion.

Among the night’s manytributes, Jack Nicholsonnoted that “when ‘SNL’ start-ed, the last helicopter hadjust flown out of Vietnam,Watergate was still fresh ineveryone’s minds, and NewYork was broke.”

The night’s big hitch:Eddie Murphy was greetedlike returning royalty, withan introductory tribute fromChris Rock that lasted muchlonger than Murphy’s actualappearance. Murphy said lit-tle more than thanks.

After all the buildup, hisblink-and-he-was-gone par-ticipation was an epic fail. Itwas the main disappoint-ment in a long, very long,but mostly satisfying retro-spective of TV’s great come-

dy institution.Robert De Niro marveled

that, 40 years later, “SNL” is“still at it. Forty years!That’s like back when TVwas still watched on TV.”

Jerry Seinfeld said,“There are so many thingsabout ‘Saturday Night Live’that people don’t know. Forinstance, I just found outthat one of the original castmembers in 1975 was Brian

Williams.”Seinfeld then took goofy

questions from the VIPaudience, including MichaelDouglas, James Franco,Dakota Johnson and SarahPalin, who asked, “Howmuch do you think LorneMichaels would pay me torun in 2016?” “Run for pres-ident?” Seinfeld replied. “Idon’t think there’s a num-ber too big.”

TIPPED OVER |‘It’s My Party’

singer-songwriterLesley Gore dies at 68

NEW YORK (AP) — Singer-songwriter Lesley Gore, whotopped the charts in 1963 at age16 with her epic song of teenageangst, “It’s My Party,” and fol-lowed it up with the hits “Judy’sTurn to Cry,” and the feministanthem “You Don’t Own Me,”died Monday. She was 68.

Gore died of lung cancer atNew York University LangoneMedical Center in Manhattan,according to her partner of 33years, Lois Sasson.

“She was a wonderful humanbeing — caring, giving, a greatfeminist, great woman, greathuman being, great humanitari-an,” Sasson, a jewelry designer,told The Associated Press.

Brooklyn-born and NewJersey-raised, Gore was discov-ered by Quincy Jones as ateenager and signed to MercuryRecords. She graduated fromSarah Lawrence College with adegree in English/American lit-erature.

Gore’s other hits include“She’s A Fool,” ‘’Sunshine,Lollipops and Rainbows,”‘’That’s the Way Boys Are” and“Maybe I Know.” She co-wrotewith her brother, Michael, theAcademy Award-nominated “OutHere On My Own” from the film“Fame.”

She sang at the 1964 T.A.M.I.Show in Santa Monica,California, alongside futureRock and Roll Hall of Famerslike the James Brown and theRolling Stones. Gore also playedCatwoman’s sidekick in the cultTV comedy “Batman.”

In a Facebook post, songwriterNeil Sedaka, who attendedGore’s Sweet 16 birthday party,

shared his thoughts: “She was agreat person and a phenomenaltalent, who had opened for me onmany occasions. She recorded afew of my songs (“Magic Colors”and “Summer Symphony”) andwas a great songwriter in herown right. I’m glad I had thechance of knowing her.”

In the 1990s, Gore co-wrote“My Secret Love” for AllisonAnders’ film “Grace of MyHeart,” released in 1996. A cou-ple of years later, she appearedin “Smokey Joe’s Cafe” onBroadway. Gore had been work-ing on a stage version of her lifewith playwright Mark Hamptonwhen she died.

In 2005, she released “EverSince,” her first album in 30years, but was sure to revisitolder hits in front of fans. “IfI’ve learned anything in thisbusiness,” she told The NewYork Times that year, “how stu-pid would it be not to do ‘It’s MyParty’ when people come to hearit?”

She officially came out to thepublic when she hosted severalepisodes of the PBS series, “InThe Life,” which dealt with gayand lesbian issues.

During the 2012 presidentialcampaign, Gore turned “YouDon’t Own Me” into an onlinevideo public service announce-ment demanding reproductiverights which starred LenaDunham and Tavi Gevinson,among others

In the last few years, she per-formed at Feinstein’s at theLoews Regency in New York and,along with Ronnie Spector andLaLa Brooks, headlined the“She’s Got the Power” concertoutdoors at Lincoln Center in2012.

In addition to Sasson, Gore issurvived by her brother andmother, Ronny. Services will be

held on Thursday at the FrankE. Campbell funeral home onMadison Avenue.

professor Singer dies

BOSTON (AP) — Irving Singer,a philosopher, author of nearlytwo dozen books and professor atthe Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology, has died at age 89.

He died on Feb. 1, his daughterEmily Singer confirmed onMonday. She wouldn’t disclosethe cause of his death.

Singer, whose academic careerspanned 65 years, served on theMIT faculty in the Departmentof Philosophy and Linguisticsfrom 1958 until his retirement in2013.

He was the author of 21 booksin the field of humanistic philos-ophy, focusing on areas such asthe philosophy of love, thenature of creativity, moralissues, aesthetics and philosophyin literature, music and film.

A three-day conference in 1991focusing on Singer’s work gener-ated a book titled “The Natureand Pursuit of Love: ThePhilosophy of Irving Singer.”

At Singer’s retirement, he wasremembered by ProfessorRichard Holton, head of theDepartment of Linguistics andPhilosophy, as a “very distinctivepresence at MIT.”

“He has always seen himself asa representative of a kind of phi-losophy that gets short shrift inmany analytic departments: onethat is as happy talking aboutlove, or film, or opera as it istalking about mathematics orexperimental psychology orquantum mechanics,” Holtonsaid.

WASHINGTON (AP) —Pressing Pentagon demands ina time of terror threats andIslamic State militants have putnewly empowered congression-al Republicans in a bind.Defense hawks want to wipe outprevious spending cuts to steermore money to the military, butthe GOP is divided over how todo it without piling billionsonto the deficit.

Lawmakers who want to reindeficit spending insist that anyincreases for the militaryshould be financed by cuts todomestic programs — even asGOP pragmatists warn thatcould cause a budget logjamthat would drag on for months.And that’s before GOP leadersbegin talks with PresidentBarack Obama, who’s demand-ing increases for domestic agen-cies, too.

At issue is the budget for theupcoming fiscal year beginningOct. 1. While programs likeSocial Security, Medicare andfood stamps run on autopilot,agency budgets are passed byCongress each year and requireObama’s signature.

The problem stems from thehard-fought budget and debtbill of August 2011. A so-calledsupercommittee failed to reach

a broad fiscal deal, resulting inspending cuts on the day-to-dayoperating budgets of virtuallyevery federal agency. Two yearslater, the pain hit — across-the-board spending cuts.

The result was a blow to thePentagon, with the depart-ment’s core spending on ships,planes, personnel and warfight-ing equipment reduced. Insteadof a core budget of $577 billion,defense spending would be lim-ited to $523 billion, according tothe Congressional BudgetOffice.

“We really cannot put a 2016spending plan together at the$523 billion level,” said seniorHouse Armed ServiceCommittee member MichaelConaway, R-Texas. “That’s justunacceptable. We have to fix itsomehow.”

While many GOP conserva-tives want to reduce the budgetfor domestic agencies to free upfunds for the military, partypragmatists warn that thisapproach failed badly whenHouse Republicans tried it twoyears ago.

Others are eying cuts to otherprograms to provide relief sim-ilar to the bipartisan 2013 budg-et deal than rankled GOP con-servatives.

SHERIDAN — “Money is always flying inthe air — you just have to reach up and grabit,” Kon Ho In said.

In is the ultimate business man. He’s alwaysthinking about the next booming industry orthe expansion of his store Star Liquors. Inloves Warren Buffett, a man much like him-self, who started with nothing and built a for-tune. Business is like art, In says; the busi-nessman needs to be part of every small ele-ment to make a beautiful picture.

He’s the American Dream personified. AKorean immigrant, In is walking proof thatanything is possible in America if you investwith all of your heart and put in a little bit ofelbow grease.

Leaving behind his family and a bankingjob in Korea, In moved to Sheridan in 1979with a only a few dollars in his pocket. Butfor a man who could only read English andhardly speak it, there was no job in the bank-ing industry available to him. Instead, hefound work as a janitor at a Sheridan elemen-tary school.

For four years he worked as a janitor, savingevery penny he had with the hope of startinga business. In 1983, he received a $3,000 loanfrom a friend and opened Star Video, a placewhere people could rent movies for their per-sonal viewing at home. It was as foreign of aconcept to people then as it is to youth today.

At the time, the VCR was less than 10 yearsold and was still considered a luxury —prices for the machine were listed between$500-$700. The idea of video rental was sonew, In had to originally buy videos directlyfrom the production companies. It was anemerging, unstable market, but In saw anopportunity to cash in.

“You have to be brave; you have to be will-ing to take risks in business,” he said. “I wasnever afraid of making a decision.”

VCR manufacturing increased exponential-ly in the mid-1980s. The production of cheap-er models dropped the price of VCRs toaffordable levels and In had the only rentalstore in town at that time.

“We always, always try to find our niche,”In said of his business. “We know what thecustomer wants … when people need a serv-ice, we want to create that service.”

Even when he was successful, In never livedlike a lucrative-business owner. He worked 80hours a week while raising two children. Hespent nights at the community college refin-ing his English. Anytime he made any signifi-cant profits, In would put it right back intohis store, recalling he had 34,000 videos avail-able for people to rent at the height of thevideo rental boom.

“There were many sleepless nights,” Insaid. “Running a business is hard. Peopledon’t realize how difficult it is … you have toprepare for everything with your business.”

In’s shop had expanded three times to meetthe needs of his customers. When the lot nextto the video rental store was put up for sale,he bought it, looking toward his next venturein liquor sales.

When VHS became obsolete, In was alreadyoffering his customers DVDs. But by the mid2000s, the rental industry was slowly fadingaway. In then made the switch to specializedelectronics at Star Video and Audio, whichcontinues to operate today.

In 23 years of owning a business, In alwaysseemed to be one step ahead.

Star Liquor had become successful, butmaintaining an electronics business is tough,especially when you are 68 years old and try-ing to keep up with perpetually-changingtechnology trends.

In waited approximately five years to sellStar Video and Audio to the right owner.Offers came and went, but he wouldn’t justhand over the business to anyone.

Little did In know, he had met the futureowner of his business many years ago.

On Dec. 31, 2014, In sold Star Video andAudio to Sheridan native Bill Heide. Heidehad been a student at the elementary schoolwhere In had worked as a janitor.

“He didn’t speak a lot of English,” Heiderecalled. “I just always remember him beingvery nice and always playing with us atrecess.”

Heide worked with In for many years and isactive in the community.

A long-time patron of the store from its ear-liest days as a video rental, he’s worked invideo and music production as well. He isalso well-versed in the changing dynamics oftechnology.

“Everything is going to streaming now,”Heide said. “It’s pretty crazy how quicklythings are changing … Technology is con-stantly evolving.”

More than one month in things are goingsmoothly at the shop. Heide still gets businesshelp from In.

“(In) has really taught me a lot about humil-ity and that it doesn’t always have to be aboutbusiness,” Heide said.

Today In has cut back quite a bit; he workscloser to 60 hours a week rather than 80. Hemaintains his business while keeping a closeeye on his investments in the stock market.He still looks for the next business niche. StarLiquor continues to expand and In’s next ven-ture is a wine tasting facility.

But his hope is to someday step back frombusiness, or “fade away” as he says. In lovesbeing a businessman, but he said the stressthat comes with it is unhealthy. So, he takestime out of his day to get coffee with friendsor strangers. Success for In isn’t measured bythe amount of zeros behind a dollar sign.

He’s willing, even eager, to pass on advice. Ifa man who doesn’t speak the language can gofrom making minimum wage sweeping floorsat an elementary school to building million-dollar businesses, In said, imagine what aperson who speaks the language can achieve.It takes guts, heart, wisdom and education tomake it in this world, he said.

This is America, the greatest country in theworld, In said. Anyone can make it.

Athletes of the Week are selected by The Sheridan Press sports reporters.

No. 8 Kansas falls at No. 23 West Virginia University 62-61MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Kansas’ Perry Ellis

caught the long inbounds pass from Jamari Traylor andattempted a layup, only to have it go off the back of therim.

Ellis scored 15 of his 19 points in the second half, but hismiss just before the final buzzer sent No. 8 Kansas to a 62-61 loss at No. 23 West Virginia on Monday night.

“I might have rushed it a little bit, but I should havemade it,” Ellis said.

Kansas (21-5, 10-3 Big 12) threw away a chance tostrengthen its hold on first place. Instead, its lead over No.14 Iowa State was trimmed to 1.5 games.

“We had our chances but we just didn’t capitalize,” saidKansas coach Bill Self. “The end of the game was a perfect

example. Jamari makes the best pass of the year, Perrycatches it right in stride, has an uncontested layup andbasically he just missed the layup.”

It was a layup by West Virginia’s Juwan Staten with 4seconds left that gave West Virginia its first 20-win seasonin four years.

“This was definitely a must-win game at home,” Statensaid. “We had the crowd behind us and we fought to theend.”

It was a resume-building victory for the Mountaineers(20-6, 8-5 Big 12), who had lost three of their previous fourgames and four straight against ranked opponents.They’re looking for their first NCAA tournament bid inthree seasons.

With the game on the line, coach Bob Huggins knew whohe wanted to give the ball to: Staten, West Virginia’s lead-ing scorer and the Big 12 preseason player of the year.

Staten took an inbounds pass and went the length of thecourt, made a spin move around Frank Mason III and hit aleft-handed layup over the outstretched arms of two otherKansas defenders.

It was Staten’s first field goal over the final eight min-utes after he had gone to the bench with cramps.

“That is exactly how we drew it up,” Staten said. “WhenI spinned, I’d seen nothing in the lane. I laid the ball up. Itwas a good call by coach.”

Love toreturn as

Ryder Cupcaptain

LOS ANGELES (AP) —Davis Love III is gettinganother shot as U.S. captainin the Ryder Cup.

Two people familiar withthe decision told TheAssociated Press on Mondaynight that the PGA ofAmerica has selected Loveas captain for the 2016matches at Hazeltine. Theyspoke on condition ofanonymity because it hasnot been announced.

Golf Channel first report-ed that Love will be the nextcaptain.

He is to be introduced onFeb. 24, when the HondaClassic is held at PGA head-quarters in Palm BeachGardens, Florida.

Love led the Americans toa 10-6 lead at Medinah in2012 until Ian Poulter andEurope staged an improba-ble rally and matched thegreatest comeback in RyderCup history.

This will be the secondstraight Ryder Cup that theU.S. gets a repeat captain,and it didn’t go so well theprevious time. Tom Watson,at 65, was the oldest RyderCup captain and returnedafter a 21-year absence.

But he was out of touchwith his team, made a ques-tionable captain’s pick withWebb Simpson and benchedPhil Mickelson for both ses-sions on Saturday.

Pitchers and catchers

report this week to

spring training

BY JAY COHENAP SPORTS WRITER

Washington’s star-studded rotation reportsto Florida. Matt Harvey continues his come-back with the New York Mets. Joe Maddontakes over the Chicago Cubs, and RussellMartin gets a closer look at Toronto’s pitchingstaff.

While much of the Northeast and Midwestnavigates bitter cold and piles of snow, springtraining begins in earnest this week whenpitchers and catchers file into camps in

Florida and Arizona. World Champion SanFrancisco is one of four National Leagueteams slated to begin on Thursday, and mostof the majors’ pitchers and backstops will bein place by this weekend.

Following several massive free-agent dealsand blockbuster trades, there are plenty ofcompelling story lines heading into baseball’sfirst spring training since Rob Manfred tookover as commissioner in January.

Keselowskitaking longroad toward

respect inNASCAR

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.(AP) — Brad Keselowskimight as well sign up as thenext celebrity target at acomedy roast.

His fellow NASCAR driversalready have plenty of prac-tice hurling cutting barbs hisway — just minus the rimshot.

Denny Hamlin onKeselowski’s rep: “Nobodywants to be Brad.”

Kyle Busch on who youngdrivers should emulate:“Don’t come in like Brad.”

For each blunt opinionKeselowski has about thestate of NASCAR, driversseem to have two or threezingers ready to fire rightback at Bad Brad. Not evenwinning the 2012 Sprint Cupchampionship earnedKeselowski his proper placeat the big boys’ table. He’syet to earn as much respectin the garage as formerchamps Tony Stewart, MattKenseth, Jimmie Johnsonand Jeff Gordon.

Heck, Keselowski even tookthe rap for costing Gordon ashot at a fifth title when theytangled in an accident on alate restart at Texas.

Keselowski has acceptedthe black hat, better to stirreaction with an outspokenopinion or two than build acareer as an irrelevant driv-er.

If he’s failed to gain manybest friends in the sport, it’sa small price to pay for hav-ing the type of passion thatenergizes him to be amongNASCAR’s best drivers.

“I know that when I havehad whatever run-ins I havehad throughout my career, Ihave had them because Ihave done the things that Ifeel like I need to do to be thebest, and that is why I am inthis sport,” Keselowski said.“That is what drives me.”

Among his most outspokenmoments:

— A rant againstNASCAR’s move to electron-ic fuel injection, which led toa $25,000 fine.

— A diatribe about otherteams poaching team ownerRoger Penske employees.Penske later said “Brad hadsome misinformation” afterrival team owner RickHendrick blasted the driver’sclaims.

— A strong stance againstNASCAR’s requirement thatall drivers undergo baselineconcussion testing.

“Some of the stuff he says,all of us shrug our shoul-ders, close our eyes and arelike, ‘I wouldn’t have saidthat,’” 2010 Daytona 500 win-ner Jamie McMurray said.

KANSAS: Hosts TCU nextFROM B2

Jevon Carter, who also played through leg cramps,added 13 points for West Virginia, including back-to-back 3-pointers to put the Mountaineers ahead 60-59with 2:31 remaining.

“I’ve got to give a lot of credit to my teammates forsetting me up with good passes and good screens lead-ing to open shots,” Carter said. “I just dug deep,knocked them in and gave my team the momentum.”

Mason made a layup with 2:13 left to give Kansas thelead, but the Jayhawks didn’t score again. He missedanother layup with nine seconds left and the ball wentout of bounds, setting up Staten’s heroics.

“He made a nice play, but we couldn’t have defendedit worse,” Self said.

Mason added 18 points and Kelly Oubre Jr. had 14 forKansas.

Ellis capped a 10-0 run to start the second half with a3-pointer to put Kansas ahead 40-33. But the Jayhawkslater went seven minutes without a field goal.

Staten hit a layup and a jumper 50 seconds apart, andJonathan Holton made a free throw to put WestVirginia ahead 50-49 with 7:20 left.

TIP-INS:Kansas: The Big 12’s top 3-point shooting team made 6

of 11. ... Wayne Selden, who averaged 16 points over hisfive previous games, was held to four Monday night.

West Virginia: The Mountaineers led by as many as11 points in the first half, were ahead 33-30 at halftimeand were outscored in the second half for the fifthstraight game. ... Devin Williams reinjured his righthand that had been heavily taped in a loss at Iowa Stateon Saturday. Williams, who had 22 points and 13rebounds a year ago in a home win over Kansas, fin-ished with eight points and four rebounds.

BOARD SAVVY:Huggins admits his team doesn’t shoot well consis-

tently, which is why he stresses getting multiplechances on offensive possessions. West Virginia leadsthe nation with 17 offensive rebounds per game and got22 on Monday night.

UP NEXT:Kansas hosts TCU on Saturday.West Virginia plays at No. 22 Oklahoma State on

Saturday.

NASCAR: As one feud faded, another emergedFROM B2

“But there is normally a little bit oftruth in it, as well. He obviously likesattention or he wouldn’t say thingslike that.”

Even Keselowski’s detractors can’tdeny his talent. He’s coming off acareer-best six wins with 17 top-fivesdriving the No. 2 Ford for TeamPenske.

“I feel like I am a top-three driver inthe Sprint Cup series,” Keselowskisaid.

He mentioned reigning serieschampion Kevin Harvick and CarlEdwards as the other two drivers inthe gold-silver-bronze class.

Keselowski and Edwards feuded fora couple of seasons after they tookturns wrecking each other in aMarch 2010 race at Atlanta.

But as one feud faded, anotheremerged.

Gordon was in position at Texas foran automatic spot in the champi-onship round, racing for the lead on alate restart. His chances ended whenKeselowski squeezed between himand Johnson, creating contact thatsent Gordon spinning into the wallwith a flat tire.

Gordon finished 29th and confront-ed Keselowski in the pits, leading to amelee between their teams. Gordonseethed because he already knew

what the rest of the sport wouldlearn months later — he was ready tocall it quits and a sure victory thatwould have guaranteed him a spot inthe finale was gone.

It was one of the rare timesKeselowski took personal offense tocriticism.

“What bothered me the most werepeople that felt I cost Jeff a champi-onship last year because I didn’t feelthat way at all,” Keselowski said. “Ifelt like those were people that gotcaught up in the rhetoric and werejust trying to use a line to get readersor clicks or viewers or whatever it is.That bothered me a little bit. I didn’tlose sleep over it, though.”

SPRING: Cubs one of most active teams over winterFROM B2

The Nationals strengthened their already solid rotationby signing free agent Max Scherzer to a $210 million,seven-year contract. Now the pressure is on Scherzer todeliver on that big deal and help the reigning NL Eastchampions advance deep into the playoffs for the firsttime since the franchise moved to Washington.

While Scherzer will attract plenty of attention thisspring, it looks as if Tanner Roark will have to adjust toa bullpen role after he had a breakout season a year ago,winning 15 games with a sparking 2.85 ERA. The right-hander is a nice insurance policy for manager MattWilliams should any of the starters get hurt.

Harvey missed all of last season for his recovery fromelbow ligament-replacement surgery, and got an earlystart on spring training by reporting to New York’s facili-ty about two weeks before the first scheduled workout.He is hoping to be ready for opening day, but the Metscould decide on a slow and steady approach for the aceright-hander.

It’s a brand new day for the Cubs when they report toArizona after a banner offseason that included the addi-tion of Maddon, who had a 754-705 record during his suc-cessful nine-year run with Tampa Bay.

Cubs President Theo Epstein pounced on the quirkyskipper after he opted out of his contract with the Rays,dumping Rick Renteria after just one season. Epstein iscounting on Maddon to ease the transition of the organi-zation’s impressive stable of prospects to the rigors ofthe majors.

The Cubs were one of baseball’s most active teams overthe winter. Same goes for Toronto, which is seeking itsfirst playoff appearance since it won the World Series in1993.

Martin was one of the majors’ most prized free agentsover the winter, and he opted for an $82 million, five-yearcontract with the Blue Jays.

The three-time All-Star, who was born in Toronto andraised in Montreal, hit .290 with 11 home runs and 67RBIs with Pittsburgh last season, helping the Pirates to asecond straight playoff berth.

DEAR ABBYPauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips

SWEET SOLUTIONS TOSUGAR ADDICTION

When the Archies croonedlongingly "You got me want-ing you" in the song "Sugar,Sugar," they described per-fectly what it's like to cravethe sweet stuff -- and millions

of you feel the same. Nearly13 percent of NorthAmerican adults' caloricintake comes from high fruc-tose corn syrup and sugar.That adds up to 152 POUNDSof sugars a year -- anotherwhole person! No wonder somany people are fighting obe-sity, metabolic disorders,high blood pressure andheart disease.

Ever since the book "SugarBlues" came out in 1975,researchers have debatedwhether sugar really cantrigger an addiction's "gottahave it and have it now"response. Now it seems itreally does. Scientists at theMassachusetts Institute ofTechnology say mice willcross an electrified zone toget to sugar even whenthey're completely full, and

getting that sugar bomb stim-ulates the same brain regionsthat are associated with goodlovin' and bad drugs.

So if you have a sweet tooththat just won't quit, it's timeto use proven detox methods:

1. Talk to your doctor aboutreducing your sugar intake;set up an appointment with anutritionist or coach who canoffer you nutritional guide-lines, emotional support anda plan.

2. Get a buddy to do theadded sugar elimination withyou! You can kvetch, offereach other support and cookhealthy foods together.

3. Tell your honey you wantto substitute some sweetlovin' for sweets -- that'llmake those brain circuitslight up and satisfy yoursweet tooth!

ULTRASOUND BABY PIC-TURE GETS A NEGATIVEREACTION

DEAR ABBY: Do you knowwhy people nowadays feel theneed to announce their preg-nancies via ultrasound pic-tures? I'm sorry, but I reallydon't want to see all that. Iguess some folks think theimage of a blurry, black-and-white fetus is "darling." Butto me, all I see is an up-close-and-personal snapshot of astranger's uterus. Even if

we're best friends, I don'tneed all that detail. TMI,right?

I really wish people woulddeliver this kind of newsface-to-face. Or call me, textme, whatever. It serves thesame purpose and isn't near-ly as graphic. -- NOT READYFOR A CLOSE-UP

DEAR NOT READY: If see-ing a sonogram is "TMI" foryour sensibilities, all youneed to do is scroll past it. It'snot as if you're being forcedto view the fetus. Being ableto see the product they'remanufacturing pre-deliveryhelps many couples to bondwith their babies, and whenpeople are happy, they oftenwant to share their joy. Soloosen up and let them.

DEAR ABBY: I have beenmarried to my husband for 10years. Prior to that, we datedfor seven. (We met when wewere teenagers.) My problemis, my mother-in-law still mis-spells my name, which isSara. After all these years,

she still adds an "h" to theend of my name, regardlessof how many times my hus-band has pointed out the cor-rect spelling.

I don't know why this is anissue, because we send hercards on all the holidays, herbirthday, etc., with my namespelled correctly. How shouldI approach this with her? --SIMPLY SARA IN ARIZONA

DEAR SIMPLY SARA: Ifthe two of you get along well,just smile and ask her whyshe can't get the spelling ofyour name right. Then listen.However, if there is tensionin your relationship, recog-nize that this may be a formof passive aggression, thatconfronting her will makeher defensive, and she willfind some other way to nee-dle you.

P.S. Another thought. Tellher you've changed thespelling of your name to"Sarah" and she may drop the"h"!

DEAR ABBY: My bestfriend is dying from lungcancer, which I think hastraveled to her brain. I amheartbroken over this. Myquestion is, she seems differ-ent now -- angry. She jumpedon me when we were talkingabout her disease. Should Ijust leave her be? Or whatshould I do? -- STANDING BYIN TEXAS

DEAR STANDING BY: Yourfriend may indeed be angry,and she has a right to be. Shemay also be very scared.Continue to stand by herbecause she will need yoursupport and understandingin the months to come.

A diagnosis of metasta-sized cancer can make some-one feel alone and isolated. Ifshe wants to talk about herprognosis, be prepared to lis-ten. If she is too ill to get outof the house, bring the newsabout what is going on in hercircle of friends to her.(Gossip can be distracting.)Do NOT offer advice unlessyou are asked for it. And ifshe has a bad day, try to beunderstanding and forgiving.

Omarr’s Daily Astrological Forecast Jeraldine Saunders

BIRTHDAY GUY: ActorKristoffer Polaha was bornin Reno, Nev., on this datein 1977. This birthday guycurrently co-stars as Sgt.Niedermayer on "Back-strom" after previouslystarring on "Ringer" andplaying a recurring role on"Mad Men." He's also ap-peared on episodes of "CSI,""Made in Jersey" and "Awk-ward." On the big screen,Polaha's film resume in-cludes "Where HopeGrows," "Back In the Day"and "Devil's Knot."

ARIES (March 21-April19): Look for the best bangfor your buck. You'll findthe best bargain if you ig-nore "expert" advice and fol-low your own good taste. Asignificant other may behesitant to discuss an im-

portant matter.TAURUS (April 20-May

20): The very things that arethe most frustrating can be-come a spur to accomplish-ment. You're prone tomisreading instructions ormissing the fine print whenyour money or possessionsare concerned.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):Steer clear of snake oilsalesmen. Someone's enthu-siasm for a get rich schememay be gaining momentum.Don't get caught up in thehype or waste your timedue to someone else's poorjudgment.

CANCER (June 21-July22): A structure that willstand the test of time canonly be built on a strongfoundation. Do your home-work before embarking on a

new project. Make sure youhave all the ingredients forsuccess.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):When push comes to shoveyou may occasionally feellike the pushee. Your ambi-tions may become clear asyou see your way out of atight spot. Someone closecould exaggerate their networth.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):The media is the mixedmessage. You might mis-take evasiveness or mis-leading information forfacts. There could be mix-ups concerning key commu-nications, so remainvigilante and diligent.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):Let your enthusiasms act asa guide. Your best experi-ences could come through

work-related activities.Anything you enjoy doingwill be successful, espe-cially if you have someoneto do it with.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.21): Lighten up a little.You've learned that if youtry to dodge ownership of aproblem, life might give youresponsibility for it thehard way. Take control ofyour own happiness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Look behind cur-tain No. 1. The easiest thingto do is probably best in thelong run. You won't get any-where by trying to out-guess, outthink, oroutmaneuver the opposi-tion.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19): You can't make anomelet without breaking a

few eggs. You may be disap-pointed by someone orsomething that hasn't livedup to your expectations, butthis may ignite your ambi-tious nature.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18): Ambition rules. Youmay contemplate long-range plans and set goals.Tonight's New Moon mightstart a cycle in which youand a partner can work to-gether to establish financialsecurity.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March20): Be true to your word. Ifyou've accepted extra re-sponsibilities it's in yourbest interest to see themthrough. The lesson here isto not give way due to a lackof energy or fear of failure.

IF FEBRUARY 18 ISYOUR BIRTHDAY: Over

the next three to fourweeks, you could be dis-tracted by a wild goose orromantic dreams. You maybe forced to work harderthan ever just to keep yourhead above water. Duringthe next eight weeks and, inJune, as well, avoid med-dling with your job, fi-nances, or relationships.You may be carryingaround a chip on yourshoulder without realizingit's there. The best time tolaunch crucial plans, askfor favors, push your luck,or meet significant people isafter the first of July, whenthe going will be easier.

THERE ARECHOICES; CANYOU FINDTHEM?

Andre Mau-rois, a French

author born Emile SalomonWilhelm Herzog in 1885,said, "In literature, as inlove, we are astonished atthe choice made by otherpeople."

Sometimes we are sur-prised at the choice made atthe bridge table by our-selves and others. In today'sdeal, the winning choicewould be overlooked byplayers unaccustomed tosearching for alternatives tothe obvious.

Against four spades, Westleads his diamond two --"My stronger minor, part-ner." East wins with his aceand returns the suit. Whatshould South do after ruff-ing?

It is reasonable for Southto open four spades in thethird (or fourth) position.

Opposite a passed partner, aslam is unlikely, and the bidrates to keep the opponentsquiet. (One point for seriouspartnerships: If you openfour of a major with such astrong hand and the oppo-nents enter the auction, youmust double to tellpartner about your un-expectedly high point-count.)

South has four poten-tial losers: two hearts,one diamond and oneclub. He has only ninesure winners: sevenspades, one heart andone club.

At first glance, de-clarer could play fortwo heart tricks ortake the club finesse.He could draw trumpsand play a heart to thequeen. But here if Eastplays low, the contractcan no longer be made.

Did you see the sureroute to 10 tricks?After pulling trumps,South should cash his

club ace and continue withthe club queen. West takesthe trick, but when declarergets into the dummy with aheart, he can cash the clubjack. His 10 winners areseven spades, one heart andtwo clubs.

Hints from Heloise Heloise

Dear Heloise:My wife and Ienjoy readingyour column inthe San AntonioExpress-News.To avoid poten-

tial burglaries, folks whoprogram their cars to opengarage doors should ensurethat the DOOR CODES areremoved before the cars aretraded, sold or donated. In-structions for removing thecodes usually can be foundin user manuals. -- MiltonBell, Live Oak, Texas

DOUBLE-CHECKDear Heloise: Another

caution for discarding un-wanted junk mail and maga-zines/catalogs: Tear off andshred the address-labelpage, then remove andshred the order form insidethe catalogs! -- Chris C. inFlorida

Good reminder, Chris.Let's really think about this.There is not much informa-tion other than a name andaddress, plus the expirationdate, on that label. I don'tthink thieves can really do

much -- well, maybe signyou up for a subscription! --Heloise

POWDERED GLOVESDear Heloise: I wear rub-

ber gloves when washingdishes. The other day, myhands kept getting stuckwhen I tried to put thegloves on. I remembered thesmall box of baking sodaunder the sink that I use forcleaning, and sprinkled asmall amount in each glove.No more sticking! -- AnneW. in Indiana

A handy (no pun in-tended) hint indeed! Thereare so many hints for usingbaking soda, and you dis-covered a great one! I havemany more hints for usingand cooking with bakingsoda in my Heloise's BakingSoda Hints and Recipespamphlet, which you can re-ceive by sending $5 and along, self-addressed,stamped envelope (70 cents)to: Heloise/Baking Soda,P.O. Box 795001, San Anto-nio, TX 78279-5001. Freshenup a stinky mop by soakingit in a mixture of baking

soda (4 tablespoons) andwater (1 quart). Let soak fora couple of hours, then rinsewell. -- Heloise

SIMILAR WITH DIFFER-ENCES

Dear Heloise: Please warnyour readers about the im-portance of knowing the dif-ference between a powerstrip and a surge protector.

A power strip providesmore electrical outlets toplug electronics into.

A surge protector does thesame, while also protectingthose devices from a voltagespike. Surge protectors areespecially important duringbig storms with lightning,which can cause power out-ages. Hope this helps! -- Jor-dan in San Antonio

A simple way to protectyour electronic equipment.Why not take a little walkaround your home now andsee how many you areusing. Then see if it's timefor an upgrade. This is agreat hint! It can save youthousands of dollars by pro-tecting your electronicequipment. -- Heloise
