Students, tutors benefit from writing centerSHERIDAN — How do you cite
sources in American Psychological Association format?
What’s the best way to organize a
research paper? What does a thesis statement look
like? College students ask these ques-
tions daily, and the writing center, a program provided by the Sheridan College English department, provides the answers.
The program, aimed at helping students with a variety of writing assignments, from lab reports and term papers to scholarship application essays and final English papers.
Students schedule appointments for online, in-person or drop-in tutoring. At that time, students receive one-on-one help from students and faculty.
Primarily, the center is operated by students. Students employed by the writing center examine spelling, gram-mar, content and formatting in papers.
Student-tutors at the writing center Claire Rapp and Chris Maze find that it can be very helpful.

CPA grads compliment community
focus of police
SHERIDAN — Folks from Phoenix and a young high school student were among the many who gained a fresh perspective on polic-ing in Sheridan’s commu-nity through the 2017 ses-sion of the Citizen’s Police Academy.
Each year, the Sheridan Police Department conducts a nine- to 13-week class on the local police force, cover-ing how SPD handles traffic stops, drugs, domestic vio-lence and accident investi-gations, among other topics. The class remains free for community members and includes dinner as well as pertinent information on how law enforcement serves the community.
This year’s class graduat-ed 11 students, including a mother and her high school daughter, who hopes to enter law enforcement as a career.
“We watch a lot of police shows, like Blue Bloods and stuff like that, and I started getting interested just in a few of the episodes in the way they handled certain situations,” Desiree Barron said. “Obviously it’s Hollywood, and I didn’t want a Hollywood version, I wanted a real-life version.”
Her mother, Monique, who planned to attend just the first class with her daughter, ended up liking it so much that she stayed for the duration of the session.

Clearmont supports
WAM push to fund
cities, towns
CLEARMONT — Clearmont Town Council accepted a res-olution supporting the Wyoming Association of Municipalities’ legislative agenda and the association’s efforts in seeking appropri-ation of state funding for 99 Wyoming cities and towns.
Mayor Chris Schock said Monday that WAM is begin-ning efforts to strategize due to word from legislators that the $105 million state direct distribution funding Wyoming cities and towns normally receive annually could disappear. WAM is working to devise three solutions for the problem that the 99 cities and towns can live with to present to legislators during the 2018 budget session.
Schock said he participat-ed in a conference call with WAM officials three weeks ago regarding different types of revenues, including higher property taxes and retail sales taxes.
He said he told them that raising property taxes wouldn’t help Clearmont unless the town annexed 200 acres of surrounding land into the town limits. In addi-tion, raising the sales tax in Sheridan County would kill the Capital Facilities Tax, which Clearmont depends on for funding to match State Loan and Investment Board grants.
Schock said he spoke with WAM about an amendment of the school finance-om-nibus education funding House bill that proposes if the rainy day fund drops to $500 million, a half-cent tax would kick in. The funds generated would go into the rainy day fund until it builds back up to $1 bil-lion. Once that amount is reached, the tax goes away until needed again.

New legislation shifts liquor law responsibility to local bodies
SHERIDAN — The Sheridan County Commission approved a notice of intent to adopt rules and regulations governing the licensing of liquor sales during Tuesday’s regular board meeting.
Deputy County Attorney Clint Beaver said the 2017 Wyoming Legislature amended portions of Title 12, which deals with alcohol-ic beverages, and shifted responsi-bility for determining particulars in regulation from the state to local licensing authorities.
“…We’ve been kind of scram-bling to get our hands around it,” Beaver said, “because July 1 will be the effective date of these legis-lative changes.”
Dayton, Ranchester and the city of Sheridan are going through similar processes. County Administrative Director Renee’ Obermueller said while all munic-ipalities have been working to be as consistent as possible on the regulations, the county can only go so far to ensure that happens.
“The municipalities have home rule option; they can set ordi-
nances and go above and beyond what the statues allow us to do,” Obermueller said. “But when you’re talking about the licensing fees and the hours and how to treat minors, that’s where we real-ly tried to be consistent with each other and what we’re proposing.”
The proposed fee for a retail
liquor license within 5 miles of each the city of Sheridan and towns of Dayton, Ranchester and Clearmont is $1,500. The proposed restaurant liquor license fee for within 5 miles of any of the munic-ipalities is $500.

LIQUOR : 45-day comment period on rulesFROM 1
The proposed hours of operation say a dispensing room or licensed building may open at 6 a.m. and must
close by 2 a.m. the following day, clearing the building of all people except employees by 2:30 a.m. Special condi-tions may be permitted with prior commission approval for New Year’s Eve and the Sheridan WYO Rodeo street dance.
The county also proposed a standard law for restrict-ing minors, which prohibits anyone under 21 to be in a licensed building when the primary intent of the estab-lishment is serving alcohol. If the establishment oper-ates a commercial kitchen, the person under 21 may remain in a dining room or waiting area when accom-panied by an adult until 10 p.m.
There will be a 45-day comment period for public input, followed by another hearing before finalizing and adopting the new laws. Obermueller said a com-plete copy of the proposed laws are available in the commission office and on the county website.
The commission also approved a request for a sublease for the Airport Business Park lease agree-ment between Sheridan County and Flying Valley, LLC. Sheridan County
Airport manager John Stopka said the aircraft in the hanger, which is known as the “Mars Hanger,” has been sold.
Stopka said Big Goose Aviators flight school cur-rently rents office space and a hanger from the airport and wants to move into the larger hanger as the busi-ness is looking to expand.
A resolution for appoint-ment of special prosecutors on a criminal investigation to review facts determined by the investigation was also approved during Tuesday’s meeting. If appro-priate, the special prose-cutor will determine what charge or charges should be filed.
County attorney Matt Redle said an email was sent out to county and dis-trict attorneys within the state requesting a volunteer without identifying people involved in the investi-gation. He said Campbell County agreed to review the case, but Redle wouldn’t say what the case is about.
Redle said this is not uncommon. He said it’s something Sheridan attor-neys have done for other counties and there usually isn’t a charge for it.

7 Wyoming school districts OK allowing legal actionGILLETTE (AP) — At
least seven Wyoming school districts have approved resolutions authorizing possible legal action against the state over school financing.
The resolutions don’t mean districts will sue the state but merely allow the individual districts to file or join a lawsuit if one is
started.The Gillette News Record
reported that Campbell County School District was the first to approve a resolution on March 28. Since then, Laramie County School District 1 in Cheyenne, Sweetwater County 1 and 2, Sheridan County 1, Sublette County 1 and Lincoln County 1
have followed.Campbell County
Superintendent Boyd Brown said other school district boards plan to dis-cuss the matter.
Brown said it shows how important school trustees throughout Wyoming feel about protecting their stu-dents from being impacted by state budget cuts.

FUNDING : Discussed use of funding for parks town must use or loseFROM 1
Schock was appointed to the WAM committee to work on the amendment.
In unfinished business, councilors reviewed a revised version from the town’s attorney of the Bald Mountain Sanitation contract with adjust-
ments and added wording. It will be forwarded to Bald Mountain Sanitation’s attorney for review before further action is taken.
In other business, Clearmont has $26,025.85 in leftover State Loan and Investment Board Park Projects Grant funding that was awarded for upgrades to the town parks. Clearmont must
spend the money or lose it. Councilors discussed replacing the sand under the playground equip-ment with rubberized wood chips, buying new picnic tables, trimming trees in the parks, paint-ing the Branding Iron sign, replacing the light above the jail, and if there is any money left, per-haps replacing the merry-go-round.
WRITING : Tutoring
FROM 1
While they claim they don’t have all the answers, having others look over a project or a paper can have a significant impact on a student’s grade.
“It can be intimidating to bring your paper in and have it covered in red ink, but it can be helpful,” Rapp said.
Rapp and Maze are not English students, but they stood out as quality writers to SC staff. Every year, fac-ulty members identify and select students to tutor at the center.
Sarah Heuck Sinclair, English faculty member at Sheridan College, who often works with the writ-ing center, said student-tu-tors at the center have to not only possess quality writing skills, but must be outgoing and willing to work with a variety of other students.
“I’ve recruited students into the writing center because I thought it would be helpful for them to grow, not only with writ-ing, but with responsibili-ty, taking on a leadership role and have them become good tutors,” Sinclair said.
Rapp and Maze see plenty of benefits to the job.
It’s a paid position, but not only do they earn some cash and work with a flex-ible schedule, they have an opportunity to work on their own projects when not busy helping others.
“When it comes to mid-terms or people have nursing papers due, it gets pretty crazy around here,” Rapp said.
Both Rapp and Maze agreed that the center also helps them to be involved with the college. At the center, they meet with stu-dents outside their typical courses, which helps them meet new people and learn about other subjects.
While both student tutors are fairly well-versed in English and writing, understanding the intri-cacies of formatting and mastering grammar takes years of experience.
That’s where the English professors lend a hand.
The college has had a writing center for decades, but recently, the center has adapted a new concept. The center is surrounded by the college English faculty offices, which provides stu-dents and tutors with extra help if needed.
“It’s an unusual model for a writing center,” Sinclair said. “Typically, they are in more private areas. We want to be there to help.
“We see a lot of repeat students,” Sinclair added. “Once we see students come into the center, we see them come back.”
POLICE : Putting an emphasis on community policing FROM 1
The education gained during the classes helped the high school student convince her mother of the positive aspect of considering a law enforce-ment career.
“For me, it’s really helped me and my mom appreciate law enforce-ment for what it is and not the reactionary view we see on TV,” Monique Barron said.
SPD emphasized com-munity policing, not as a buzzword, but more as a proactive duty of every officer in the department.
The students noticed.“The quote (Chief Rich
Adriaens) had, ‘You know that you’re effectively policing when your citi-zens act more like your police and your police act more like your citizens.’ When you really think about that, it’s so true because we’re all work-ing together,” Monique Barron said. “It’s a com-munity. I think that’s why the people enjoy living here so much — you’re neighbors.”
Robert and Susan Johnson, a couple who recently relocated to Sheridan from Phoenix,
Arizona, recognized the neighborly feel of SPD as compared to the Phoenix Police Department.
“Coming from a big town moving to a small town, it was nice to meet the local officers and know what they’re doing for us. They’re really on their game,” Susan Johnson said.
Susan Johnson rode along with a friend who serves on PPD.
Her experience was exciting — coming into a shift with more than 10 calls waiting to be responded to and leav-ing with 10 more for the
next patrol officer — but the proactive nature of Sheridan’s police encour-aged her.
“It’s not that they don’t want to, it’s that they don’t have time,” Susan Johnson said of the Phoenix department. “It’s all reactionary.”
After experiencing crim-inal property damage to their business in Phoenix, the community outreach of SPD comes as a relief to the couple who now proud-ly call Sheridan home.
“It’s so nice to meet peo-ple who really care about the community,” Robert Johnson said.
Utah Rep. Chaffetz says he won’t run for re-electionWASHINGTON (AP) — Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a
Republican who doggedly investigated Hillary Clinton before the 2016 presidential election but declined to inves-tigate President Donald Trump, said Wednesday he won’t for re-election or any other office in 2018.
Chaffetz, who has been rumored as a possible candidate for Senate or governor, says that after consulting with his family and “prayerful consideration, I have decided I will not be a candidate for any office in 2018.”
The 50-year-old Chaffetz had strolled to four easy re-elec-
tion wins in his Republican-friendly Utah congressional district. But he was facing a surprising challenge from a Democratic newcomer who raised more than a half-mil-lion dollars by tapping into anger over Chaffetz’ recent comment suggesting people should spend their money on health insurance instead of iPhones.
Dr. Kathryn Allen has been transformed from a political unknown into a liberal hero for calling out Chaffetz on Twitter, giving her an early boost in name recognition.
Chaffetz, the chairman of the House Oversight
Committee, also drew fire from Democrats after saying he would not investigate Trump’s sprawling business empire, given that he had promised before the 2016 election that he would investigate Clinton “for years” if she was elected.
In a statement on Facebook, Chaffetz noted that he has long advocated that public service should be for a limited time. He said that after more than 1,500 nights away from home, “it is time” to step aside.
Chaffetz said he has “no ulterior motives” is healthy and confident he would re-elected.

Rocky Mountain Power seeks $16M utility rate drop in WyomingCHEYENNE (AP) —
Rocky Mountain Power has announced that it wants to reduce Wyoming electricity rates by more than $16 million and freeze rates until 2020.
The utility submitted its proposal for the rate decreases to the Wyoming Public Service Commission
on Monday.Bills for average residen-
tial customers will drop about $15 annually if the plan is approved, Rocky Mountain Power said. The new rates would take effect in June.
Rocky Mountain Power has also pledged to not increase base rates for cus-
tomers for the next three years.
Lower fuel prices and the sale of renewable energy credits on the open mar-ket has helped reduce the utility’s costs, said David Eskelsen, a spokesman for the Salt Lake City-based company.
Rocky Mountain Power
also gets excess electricity produced in California, said Paul Murphy, another company spokesman.
“California has a glut of solar, and at some points the state pays us to take their electricity,” Murphy said. “So when we get those lower prices we pass those on to custom-
ers.”Eskelsen said the pledge
not to increase base rates is partly a selling point to Wyoming companies that plan budgets years in advance but are suffering from the downturn in oil, gas and coal prices.

PEOPLEFormer Ucross artists in residence earn Pulitzers
UCROSS — Two Ucross Foundation Fellows, writer Colson Whitehead and com-poser Du Yun, have been named recipients of 2017 Pulitzer Prizes.
Whitehead won the Pulitzer Prize in fic-tion for his novel “The Underground Railroad.” The Pulitzer committee calls the book “a smart melding of realism and allegory that combines the
violence of slavery and the drama of escape in a myth that speaks to contempo-rary America.” Whitehead was in residence at Ucross in the fall of 2001, through a partnership between Ucross and the Ernest Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award for Debut Fiction.
Du Yun won the Pulitzer Prize in music for her composition “Angel’s Bone,” which premiered in January 2016 at the Prototype Festival, 3LD
Arts and Technology Center in New York City. The Pulitzer committee said it is “a bold operatic work that integrates vocal and instrumental elements and a wide range of styles into a harrowing allegory for human trafficking in the modern world.” Du Yun, who was in residence at Ucross in 2010, was the first composer to come through collaboration with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra’s Elaine
Lebenbom Memorial Award for Female Composers.
Sheridan area residents had the opportunity to hear Du Yun speak about her music in June 2010, when she gave a presentation at Sheridan College. A total of 10 Pulitzer Prize winners have been fellows at Ucross Foundation, including Ayad Akhtar, Annie Baker, Nilo Cruz, Bruce Norris, Annie Proulx, Paula Vogel, Doug Wright and Charles Wuorinen.

Today’s Highlights in History:
On April 19, 1967, Kathrine (cq) Switzer became the first woman to run the Boston Marathon (at that time, a men-only event) under an official number by regis-tering without mentioning her gender; by her own esti-mate, she finished in 4 hours and 20 minutes.
On this date:In 1897, the first Boston
Marathon was held; winner John J. McDermott ran the course in two hours, 55 min-utes and 10 seconds.
In 1935, the Universal Pictures horror film “Bride of Frankenstein,” starring Boris Karloff with Elsa Lanchester in the title role, had its world premiere in San Francisco.
In 1943, during World War II, tens of thousands of Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto began a valiant but ultimately futile battle against Nazi forces.
In 1951, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, relieved of his Far East command by President Harry S. Truman, bade farewell in an address to Congress in which he quoted a line from a ballad: “Old sol-diers never die; they just fade away.”
In 1966, Bobbi Gibb, 23, became the first woman to run the Boston Marathon at a time when only men were allowed to participate. (Gibb jumped into the middle of the pack after the sound of the starting pistol and finished in 3:21:40.)
In 1977, the Supreme Court, in Ingraham v. Wright, ruled 5-4 that even severe spanking of schoolchildren by faculty members did not vio-late the Eighth Amendment ban against cruel and unusu-al punishment.
In 1989, 47 sailors were killed when a gun turret exploded aboard the USS Iowa in the Caribbean. (The Navy initially suspected that a dead crew member had deliberately sparked the blast, but later said there was no proof of that.)
In 1993, the 51-day siege at the Branch Davidian com-pound near Waco, Texas, ended as fire destroyed the structure after federal agents began smashing their way in; dozens of people, including sect leader David Koresh, were killed.
In 1995, a truck bomb destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people.
In 2005, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany was elected pope in the first con-clave of the new millennium; he took the name Benedict XVI.
Ten years ago: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid offered a bleak assessment of Iraq, saying the war was “lost,” triggering an angry backlash by Republicans. A jury in Selmer, Tennessee, convicted Mary Winkler of voluntary manslaughter in the shooting death of her preacher-husband, Matthew.
Five years ago:Republicans rammed an elec-tion-year, $46 billion tax cut for most of America’s employ-ers through the House, ignoring a veto threat from President Barack Obama. (The measure went down to defeat in the Senate.) India announced the successful test launch of a new nuclear-capa-ble missile.
One year ago: Front-runners Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton swept to resounding victories in New York’s primary.
Thought for Today:“There is a Law that man should love his neighbor as himself. In a few hundred years it should be as natural to mankind as breathing or the upright gait; but if he does not learn it he must per-ish.”
— Alfred Adler, Austrian psychoanalyst (1870-1937).

Honored for serviceLong-time Sheridan resident Floyd Badgett, who served in the U.S. Navy as machinist mate on the USS Hector during the Korean War was presented the Korean Ambassador for Peace medal last week. The Republic of Korea has presented Ambassador for Peace Medals to Korean War veterans across the country, including many in Wyoming. The medal is given by the government and the people of South Korea to express their gratitude for the service and sacrifice of the American servicemen and women during the war. Badgett also received a proclamation from the South Korean Counsel General Shin Chae-Hyun that stated: “It is a great honor and pleasure to express the everlasting gratitude of the Republic of Korea and our people for the service you and your countrymen have performed in restoring and preserving our freedom and democracy. We cherish in our hearts the memory of your boundless sacrifices in helping us reestablish our Free Nation.” Badgett died April 14, just days after receiving the medal.

May 19, 1928 - April 14, 2017Sheridan native, Floyd Brooks

A8 THE SHERIDAN PRESS www.thesheridanpress.com WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 2017
Here’s a special dish tailor-made for an elegant spring brunch. It requires slightly more than the usual amount of work, but it’s so worth it. Most of the recipe’s several components can be prepared ahead of time, then reheated and assembled at the last minute.
The base is artisanal toast brushed with olive oil and topped with roasted aspar-agus. The asparagus can be prepped and pre-roasted, then warmed in the oven before serving. The bearnaise can be prepped just short of stirring in the fresh tarragon and kept covered and chilled until the moment of truth. You can poach your eggs as much as a day ahead.
I have an idiot-proof method for poaching eggs that will change your life if you love eating poached eggs but you’re wary of making them. So if nothing else here grabs you, please pay attention to the poaching.
The only tricky part of this recipe is breading the eggs without breaking the yolks. You need to move slowly and deli-cately when transporting them. Lift them carefully in and out of the ice water with a large slotted spoon. Coat the poached eggs by gently lifting up the edges of the parch-ment paper, which causes the eggs to roll over in the flour and bread crumbs. Move the coated eggs into and out of the oil using that slotted spoon (now well-dried). Resist the temptation to turn the eggs in the oil — they’ll brown on both sides without being turned.
I encourage you to coat and deep-fry the eggs for a taste of something ethereal and to put this dish over the top. But if you’re not a fan of deep-frying, poaching the eggs will be enough. Your guests will be delighted anyway.
ROASTED ASPARAGUS
TOASTS WITH POACHED FRIED EGGS AND CHEATING
BERNAISEStart to finish: 1½ hours
Servings: 4
For the asparagus:16 thick asparagus, trimmed
and peeled1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive
oilKosher salt and black pepper4 slices artisanal bread, toast-
ed and brushed with extra-vir-gin olive oil
For the bearnaise:¼ cup finely chopped shallot2 tablespoons white wine vinegar2 tablespoons dry white wine2 teaspoons dried tarragonKosher salt4 ounces Neufchatel cheese¼ cup whole milk2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh tarra-
gon leavesBlack pepper
For the eggs:5 large eggsVegetable oil for deep-frying1/4 cup all-purpose flour1 cup coarse fresh bread crumbs (made by puls-
ing homemade style white bread in a food pro-cessor or blender)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Roast the asparagus: Preheat the oven to 425 F. On a rimmed sheet pan toss the asparagus with the oil and salt and pepper to taste and roast on a shelf in the top third of the oven until just tender but not browned, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and set it aside. Reduce the oven to 350 F.
Make the bearnaise: In a small saucepan, combine the shallot, vinegar, wine, dried tarragon and a hefty pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil; reduce the heat to low and simmer 3 to 4 minutes until the liq-uid has been reduced to about 1 tablespoon. Add the Neufchatel, a tablespoon at a time, and whisk until it has been incorporated. Whisk in the milk, fresh tarragon, and salt and pepper to taste and remove the sauce from the heat while you prepare the eggs.
Prepare the eggs: In a deep, straight-sided skillet, add 2 inches water and bring it to a boil. Break an egg into a fine
mesh strainer set over a bowl. Tilt the egg around in the strainer and bang the strainer a few times on top of the bowl to let all the loose egg white fall through the strainer. (This ensures that the poached egg has no straggly white; if you don’t mind straggly whites, skip this step.) Repeat with 3 of the remain-ing eggs, transferring the drained eggs to individual ramekins or small bowls. Discard the loose whites. When the water has come to a boil, turn off the burner, very gently slide the eggs into the water and cover the pan. Cook the eggs, in the residual heat for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until they have reached the desired degree of doneness. Using a slotted spoon carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice and water to cool for 5 minutes and then to a plate lined with paper towels.
Return the asparagus to the oven to reheat it and warm the bearnaise on the stove.
In a large deep saucepan heat 2 inches of oil to 365 F. In a shallow bowl beat the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon water. Spread the flour on a piece of parchment. Spread the bread crumbs on a second
piece of parchment and toss with the salt. Working carefully so as not to break the yolk, coat each egg with the flour, dip it in the beaten egg and finally coat it with the crumbs. Working in two batches, gently transfer the breaded eggs with a large slot-ted spoon to the oil and let them fry for 15 to 20 sec-onds or until golden. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
To serve: Place a piece of toast on each of 4 plates, top each piece with four stalks of asparagus and spoon some of the bearnaise over the aspara-gus. Top with an egg and serve right away.

Can you hardly wait for spring, summer dishes? Try this spring quiche
I’ve been thinking about all the lovely spring and summer dishes awaiting us.
Pasta salads with red wine vin-aigrette, mozzarella pearls and lovely vegetables, tomato tarts and sweet corn cakes.
I can hardly wait.This recipe is also one which brings
to mind warm weather and, best of all, it is easy and quick.
SPRING QUICHE WITH MUSHROOMS AND ASPARAGUS
3 tablespoons olive oil1 cup morels or any spring mushrooms, cut
into bite-sized piecesSalt and freshly ground pepper1/4 cup sliced yellow onions1/2 cup chopped asparagus3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar1/3 cup cream1/3 cup milk
3 eggs1 9-inch pre-baked pie shell
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Warm 2 tablespoons oil in medium sauce pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until they release liquid and sear, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and stir in onions and asparagus. Salute until onions soften and asparagus is bright green, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
2. Scatter half the cheese across the bottom
of pie crust. In a medium bowl, beat together cream, milk, eggs and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Pour sautéed vegetables over cheese and top with egg mixture and remaining cheese. Bake quick until base sets and browns slightly at edges, about 20 minutes. Before slic-ing, let quiche cool 5 minutes.
Partner quiche with a simple salad and crusty bread for an easy spring meal.

hundred hellish milesD
o you know anyone who has run in the Bighorn Mountain Wild and Scenic Trail Run? Maybe you know someone training for
this summer’s race. A hundred miles of rugged terrain, through the night in the Bighorn Mountains. Absurd, right?
Well, no offense to those maniacs, but the Bighorn Trail Run is a breeze com-pared to the Barkley Marathons.
Sorry, that’s sort of rude. I’d never consider the Bighorn Trail Run — or any ultramarathon, for that matter — a breeze. But the Barkley Marathons are for people who belong in institutions.
Here’s a pretty telling stat: last summer, 174 runners completed the 100-mile race at the Bighorn Trail Run. Only 15 runners have ever com-
pleted the Barkley Marathons, a “race” that began in 1986. That’s less than half a finisher a year.
And being half a finisher at the Barkley Marathons is a feat in and of itself.
The Barkley Marathons were the sick concoction from the mind of Gary Cantrell, or Lazarus Lake as he’s known among the mara-
thons’ cult followers. When Martin Luther King Jr. assassin James Earl Ray escaped from Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary in 1977, he wan-dered the woods surrounding the prison until he was captured 55 hours later — a mere 8 miles from his escape point.
Cantrell thought to himself, “I could easily cover 100 miles in that amount of time,” and the labyrinth quickly became the Barkley Marathons.
The race, which takes place in late March or early April each year — a beautifully cold, rainy time of year in Tennessee — consists of five 20-mile loops around the prison. To shake things up a bit, each runner completes the loops twice clockwise, twice coun-terclockwise and a fifth time based on the first-place runner’s direction of choice.
Good luck making it to the fifth loop. Shoot, good luck making it to the sec-ond.
A reversal of route is the least of a competitors’ worries in the Barkley Marathons. There is no course map. There are no check points or aid sta-tions along the way. Laz briefs the run-ners on the “course” an hour before the race begins, where the racers quickly mark landmarks and potential paths on their not-that-close-to-scale maps.
No phones, no GPS devices. The only structure to the course consists of about nine books (the number varies) on the course from which each partic-ipant must find and rip a page corre-sponding to his or her bib number in order to prevent shortcuts or cheating. Some spend hours searching for one book before calling it quits.
Each loop is restricted to 12 hours, and the full race has a 60-hour time limit. Again, for comparison, the last-place finisher of the Bighorn Trail Run took just under 34 hours.
Laz isn’t trying to kill people. He’s not rooting for failure — although a bugle player performs “Taps” to partic-ipants who drop out of the race (pretty much everyone). He collects a $1.60 application fee, a license plate from the runner’s state and a pair of socks. That’s it.
The goal is to push people to their limits. How can you overcome the mental turmoil and the physical exhaustion?
“Barkley is not for people who want to do it to tell their friends,” Laz told marathoninvestigation.com. “It is for people who want to do it for them-selves.”
For better understanding of the harshness of the event, I encour-age you to watch the documentary about the race on Netflix. Or, sim-ply just read the title: “The Barkley Marathons: The Race That Eats Its Young.”
I don’t even like to jog on the tread-mill. To each his own, I guess.

Late additions Sobotka, McAvoy, Kapanen make playoff impacts
When Vladimir Sobotka left the KHL to rejoin the St. Louis Blues, it came with a tinge of guilt.
Despite not skating for 10 days and prac-ticing with his new (and old) teammates just once, Sobotka jumped right into the lineup for the final game of the regular season and knew he was pushing some-
one out. Then he scored a goal in Game 1 against the Minnesota Wild, added an assist in Game 3 and showed he deserved to play.
“I thought it was going to be a little harder for me to get on smaller ice,” Sobotka said. “I thought it was going to be hard winning battles and stuff like that.”
It hasn’t looked hard at all, and Sobotka is one of a handful of late-season surprise additions making an impact for his team
in the first round of the Stanley Cup play-offs. Late March recall Kasperi Kapanen scored twice for the Toronto Maple Leafs, including the overtime winner , in Game 2 against the Washington Capitals, and col-lege star Charlie McAvoy is earning every bit of the 25 minutes a game he’s playing on defense for the Boston Bruins.

Gary Benson track meet provides extra push for Broncs SHERIDAN — Brian Gonda couldn’t feel
Dawson LaRance behind him, but he knew the Billings Senior sprinter was coming. Gonda pushed; LaRance closed.
The two stretched across the finish line neck-and-neck, but LaRance had closed the gap and snatched a miniscule half-sec-ond victory in the boys 4x800-meter relay Tuesday at the Gary Benson Memorial track meet at Sheridan High School.
LaRance is no slouch, by any means. On April 8, he ran a personal best 1:51.59 in the 800-meter run, a time that would have won the 2016 Wyoming state meet by more than four seconds.
“We tried to run the relay where we could get far enough ahead where we could maybe open up the gap far enough where they couldn’t catch us,” Sheridan head track coach Taylor Kelting said of the event. “But as you can see, a 1:51 kid can do a lot of damage.”
The Broncs had a lengthy advantage before Gonda’s final leg, and Gonda made a strong push to the tight finish. Had the race been 10 meters shorter, Gonda and the Broncs would have taken home the top prize.
“I know I have to push as hard as I can, because I don’t know where he is; I don’t know when he’s coming,” Gonda said. “I kind of just got out as quick as I could and tried to hold the pace.”
Kelting said the competition was good for his 4x800-relay team against a Montana school that doesn’t have that event in its state meet. It meant Billings Senior was putting its best runners in the race and giving the Broncs all they could handle.
It also meant another chance for the Sheridan foursome to snatch a pre-quali-fying time for the state meet, which they did. So both the team and its coach some-what shrugged off LaRance’s finish and looked at the meet as a victory.
“Our first goal today was to go get a pre-qualifier for the state meet,” Kelting said. “We were happy about that, getting that out of the way, because we don’t get to run the relays very often. And it’s neat for our anchor to see how fast he has to run compared to a kid like that.”
Sheridan’s 4x800-meter relay team won the state championship last spring with Gonda, Tymer Goss, Jered McCafferty and JT Vrieswyk. Vrieswyk, the only graduate from that bunch, was replaced with Derek Vela in Tuesday’s race, but the goal hasn’t changed.
Gonda, Goss and McCafferty know what it takes to win a state championship, so they understand that there is still plenty of work to be done to get back to the top of the podium come season’s end.
“We know we can get a lot faster; we’ll get a lot faster,” Gonda said. “Our main goal is just to win state again.”
The Gary Benson Memorial was a tough meet all around for Sheridan, bringing some of Billings top teams to town along with plenty of Wyoming’s top contend-ers. It was the first time the Broncs had faced Casper’s two high schools — Kelly Walsh and Natrona — since the opening
meet, and it gave Sheridan another look at indoor state champion Gillette.
Kelting said he’s seeing positive prog-ress from his team as it moves through the back half of the season. Each meet presents another step toward preparation for the regional and state meets, and he’s confident his athletes are heading in the right direction.
“We feel like we can compete with the Casper schools, and we’re getting closer to Gillette,” the coach said. “With that in mind, we’ve just got to keep getting better and better until those culminating events.”
Other top-four finishers from the
meet included:

Ex-NFL star Aaron Hernandez hangs himself in his prison cellBOSTON (AP) — Former NFL star
Aaron Hernandez hanged himself Wednesday in the prison cell where he was serving a life sentence for murder,
taking his life on the same day his ex-teammates on the New England Patriots were set to visit the White House to mark their Super Bowl victory.
His death came less than a week after the 27-year-old ath-lete was acquitted in a second murder case.
Guards found Hernandez just after 3
a.m., Correction Department spokesman Christopher Fallon said. The onetime tight end was taken to a hospital and pro-nounced dead about an hour later.
Hernandez had been housed in a single cell in a general population unit at the maximum-security state prison in Shirley. He tied one end of a bedsheet to a window and tried to jam the cell door to prevent guards from opening it, Fallon said.
Fallon said he was not aware of any sui-cide note. He said officials had no reason to believe Hernandez might take his life, and if they had had any such worries, he
would have been transferred to a mental health unit.
A star at the University of Florida who dropped to the fourth round of the NFL draft because of misbehavior in college, Hernandez was a productive tight end for the Patriots for three seasons.
In his second year, he caught 79 passes for 910 yards and seven touchdowns and helped the team reach the Super Bowl.
In 2012, he signed a five-year, $40 million contract extension.Hernandez

DEAR ABBY Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips
Dorothy spends her entire “The Wizard of Oz” journey searching for a way home to Kansas, only to find that the solution was as simple as clicking her ruby heels and repeating: “There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home.”
Well, according to new
research, Dorothy’s mantra also may apply to people recovering from hip or knee replacement surgery. Three new studies presented at the annual meeting of the American Association of Orthopedic Medicine show that, for most people, home is a better place to recover than a rehab facility.
One investigation by researchers at Thomas Jefferson University School of Medicine found that people who went directly home after total knee replacement had a lower risk of post-surgery complications and hospital readmission than those who went to an in-patient rehab facility.
Another, done by New York’s Hospital for Special Surgery, showed that
patients admitted to a care facility after hip replacement had a higher risk of wound complications, respiratory problems and hospital read-mission.
Worried about recovering at home if you live alone? Yet another study found that patients recovered at home as quickly and with as few complications whether they lived with others or not. Our Tip: Post-TKR, have a visit-ing nurse, friends, even paid attendants for a few days to help you get in and out of bed (bathroom!), work with your auto knee-bending machine and manage pain medica-tions.
So, before you get a hip or knee replacement, talk to your doc about how to best head home post-op.
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been into swing-ing for 20 years. Everything has always been “no strings attached.” I was with one man several times before he married his current wife. She’s very religious, not into swinging and doesn’t know he is.
I’m so attracted to “Nick”
that I dream about him and have met him outside our marriages. I know it’s wrong, but I can’t keep him out of my mind. My husband doesn’t know, and I know it would hurt him deeply. Should I tell Nick, or quit writing him on our swing-ing site? -- DESPAIR DOWN SOUTH
DEAR DESPAIR: And what have you to gain by revealing your feelings? If you think it would make Nick leave his wife, forget it. Because you know it would hurt your hus-band -- although I’m having trouble understanding why, because you’re swingers -- I recommend you refrain from causing him pain.
DEAR ABBY: My family has been put in a difficult position. Last year, a woman my brother had a one-night-
stand with became pregnant. I have heard from more than one person that she’s known as the town tramp or “crazy.”
We’re sure she planned it because he makes a good living and can support the child financially, and she insisted on keeping the baby. My brother, God bless him, is doing what’s necessary, although having a child with a woman he has come to despise weighs heavily on him.
How should we, his family, handle this? At this point, I have no interest in laying eyes on her or her baby, blood kin or not. I feel no affinity for the child because I know my brother didn’t want it. Maybe in time, I could find a way to know this child, but for now my anger prevents it. -- LIVID SISTER IN TEXAS
DEAR LIVID: None of this is the fault of the baby. No one forced your brother to sleep with the “town tramp.” I respect him for living up to his responsibilities to his child.
You have nothing to lose by being kind to your nephew/niece and his/her mother. Frankly, it appears she could use befriending, and in the years ahead that baby may need a stabilizing female influence.
DEAR ABBY: My new father-in-law always greets me with a hug and a kiss on the mouth. I come from a family who doesn’t kiss on the lips, and I find it extreme-ly awkward. I’m not sure how to handle the situation.
I don’t want to bring it up to him because I’m afraid it would be offensive. I have mentioned it to my hus-band, who kind of shrugged it off, saying his father is “old school.” I have start-ed turning my head when we greet so that he hits my cheek instead of my mouth. Please advise me on how to deal with this. -- TURNING A CHEEK IN MICHIGAN
DEAR TURNING: I think you’re handling the situation well. If your father-in-law asks why you’re turning your head, all you have to do is smile and say you save kisses on the mouth for your husband.
P.S. I don’t know what “old school” your father-in-law attended, but I wouldn’t set foot on that campus.

Omarr’s Daily Astrological Forecast Jeraldine Saunders
BIRTHDAY GAL: Actress Jessica Lange was born in Cloquet, Minn., on this day in 1949. This birthday gal has won Oscars for her performances in “Blue Sky” and “Tootsie,” respectively, and has four other Oscar nominations to her credit. She’s also won two Emmys for her work on “American Horror Story” and a third for the TV movie “Grey Gardens.” She currently plays Joan Crawford on the series “Feud: Bette and Joan.”
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Play the cards you’re dealt. You can gain the advantage in nearly any situation if you simply act with the con-fidence that you’re holding the winning hand. Others will have a difficult time figuring you out if you don’t show any emotion.
TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20):
Budget your time wisely. A full slate of activities and responsibilities could be overwhelming unless you plan your schedule care-fully. Do what is expected of you but don’t be afraid to pass on taking on extra work.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Not everyone gets to call the shots. You may get caught up in a brief mindset where you feel that you could do a better job that those who are in charge. While you may well be right, it wouldn’t be to your benefit to rock the boat.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t put off until to-morrow what you can do today. Clear the tasks off your to-do list as expedi-ently as possible and you will free up time for your personal pursuits. Clipping coupons and bargain hunt-
ing could help ease finan-cial burdens.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): There’s a reason why con-ventional methods work. Trying to be too clever or creative with a relatively simple matter could result in a complete mess. Stick with the tried and true ap-proach to get things done quickly and cleanly.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There could be more to it than meets the eye. Keep your cool when someone close to you acts out as there may be an underlying reason for their behavior. Try to stay objective and adopt an analytical ap-proach as to what makes people tick.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Show them you mean busi-ness. Whether it is your ap-pearance or your demeanor, you should leave no doubt
that you take your career seriously. Stick to the rules religiously, no matter if you agree with them or not
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Some things are just out of your hands. There’s no point in fretting over a situation that you can’t con-trol, even if you don’t like how it turns out. A negative could eventually turn into a positive if you change your perspective.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t be a push-over. It’s admirable to be charitable to someone in need, but it’s quite another story when someone is just taking advantage of your good nature. Use your best judgment with others and know when to draw the line.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat
it. Put the brakes on a sit-uation if you find yourself traveling down an all too familiar road. Financial endeavors that pressure you to act quickly should be passed upon.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Things might not turn out as you planned. Don’t expect everyone to simply fall in line with your latest ideas as they may have points of concern that you didn’t anticipate. Exchange your thoughts with others but avoid trying to lay down the law.
PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Marching to a different drummer could leave you standing by yourself. Be mindful of what others may feel when you take drastic action as everyone may not be as appreciative as you think. Get some feedback before setting wheels into
motion.IF APRIL 20 IS YOUR
BIRTHDAY: Your circle of friends can become a noose around your neck if you neglect your duties and responsibilities during the next three to four weeks. Put group activities on the back burner and focus on getting things done in May that require your full attention and enthusiasm. In July you will have more time for social outings and can easily widen your net-work of friends. August is an excellent time to pursue money making activities and use shrewdness to get the best deal possible. Your judgment is at its best in September making it a good time to make irrevocable decisions or to launch cru-cial plans.
Hints from Heloise Heloise
Dear Helo-ise: My two “loves” are gardening and baking. Every year, I seem to grow an over-
abundance of ZUCCHINI. I don’t want to let it go to waste, so I shred it in my food processor and freeze it in freezer bags. When I get in the mood to bake zucchini bread, I just thaw out a freezer bag of zucchini and start baking! -- Violet C., Ponca City, Okla.
No waste and no wanting. Let the zucchini thaw and put it in a fresh green salad. -- Heloise
TOP WITH VINEGARDear Heloise: If you want
to improve the flavor of homemade bread and give it a nice, crisp, crunchy top, brush the top of the loaf with vinegar just before baking. I use apple-cider vinegar or sometimes bal-samic for a little different taste. -- Beth W., Martins-ville, Ind.
Beth, what a great hint! And vinegar has so many wonderful uses! I make sure to never run out. If you’d like to know more about vinegar’s many uses in my pamphlet Heloise’s
Fantabulous Vinegar Hints and More, visit my website, www. Heloise.com, to order. Or you can send a stamped (70 cents), self-addressed, business-size envelope, along with $5, to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Place a bowl or two of vin-egar in a freshly painted room to dispel the paint odor. -- Heloise
BATTLING BARBECUE BACTERIA
Dear Heloise: We love to barbecue in the hot summer months, but it’s import-ant to never place cooked meats, fish or chicken on the same plate you used to carry the raw meat. Bacte-ria from the raw, uncooked food can easily contaminate the plate and new utensils. -- Casey G., Emmaus, Pa.
DINNERWARE DIFFER-ENCES
Dear Heloise: I’m looking at new dinnerware for 12 to use when we entertain. Since this will be a con-siderable expense, I want to select the right type, something that will last for years. Which is a better in-vestment, porcelain china or bone china? -- April T., Cranston, R.I.
April, both porcelain and
bone chinas are known for their strength and chip-re-sistance. Quality porcelain dinnerware is as durable as bone china. The main differ-ences are:
* Porcelain china often is thicker than bone china.
* Some porcelain china brands can go from oven to table, whereas bone china cannot be used in the oven.
* Bone china must contain 25 percent bone ash, except in England, where it is re-quired to contain 50 percent bone ash. This typically helps strengthen the china.
* Bone china is considered a stronger material, but both porcelain and bone chi-nas will hold up well over time if proper care is given.
They both are excellent choices. Dinnerware can be handed down for gener-ations if well cared for and protected. -- Heloise
P.S. I still use some of my grandmother’s Blue Willow china.
AN OLD WIVES’ TALEDear Readers: The old
saying is to plant rosemary by the doorstep to keep evil away, and plant sage in your garden if you would have peace and order in your home. Sounds good to me! -- Heloise
Bridge Phillip Alder
WHAT HAPPENS WITH TWO UNBID MA-JORS?
Inspirational author Ivy Gilbert wrote, “Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you’ll start having positive results.” But in bridge, when you use a negative double, you will
have more positive results than you would have attained without its assistance.
So far this week, we have seen that when opener bids one of a suit and the next player overcalls in another suit (perhaps with a single jump), a double promises length in the unbid major.
Some claim that it shows length in the unbid major and the unbid minor, but that is not true. However, you should have some idea of what you will do if partner rebids in that minor and you do not have support.
But what happens when there are two unbid majors, as in today’s deal? I like to play that the negative double shows exactly 4-4 in those majors. (With 5-4, you bid the five-card suit; with 5-5, you respond one spade.)
Following North’s double, South jumps to three no-trump. How does he plan the play after taking West’s diamond-jack lead with his king?
Declarer has seven top tricks: four hearts, one diamond (trick one) and two clubs. Since West seems marked with the
diamond ace, East is the danger hand, the one who must be kept off lead. So, declarer should cross to the club king and run the club 10. When this holds, he takes his nine winners, then plays a spade to collect an overtrick. But even if the club finesse loses, declarer is protected from a diamond attack and has time to establish his ninth trick in spades.

IMPACTS : Kapanen didn’t make his Maple Leaf’s debut until MarchFROM B1
“No reservations playing him in any situation,” interim Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said of McAvoy, who finished his career at Boston University, played four games in the American Hockey League and got plugged in for Game 1 against Ottawa because of injuries. “We don’t want to
overuse him, either. He had a lit-tle more confidence offensively, jumped into the play more and I expect more of that. We need more offensive play from our blue line.”
Offense is typically difficult to generate in the playoffs, but not for these newcomers.
Kapanen didn’t make his Maple Leafs’ season debut until March 28 but scored the tying goal against
the Pittsburgh Penguins during the final weekend of the regular season as Toronto was scrambling to make the playoffs. After the son of longtime NHL forward Sami Kapanen scored twice to help beat the Capitals on Saturday, defen-seman Morgan Rielly ended their news conference by reminding everyone that Kasperi also had the overtime winner to give Finland
the world junior gold medal in 2016.
Kapanen credited his production to teammates and said he has “a lot of energy” to make a difference. Quickly developing a knack for clutch performances, he’s fifth in the entire playoffs in goals per 60 minutes, taking advantage of his opportunities on Toronto’s fourth line.
DEATH : Legal trouble
FROM B1
But when the Patriots returned to the play-offs the next season, Hernandez was unable to even watch on television while he was in prison awaiting trial in one shooting and already a suspect in another.
The team released him in June 2013, shortly after he was arrested in the killing of Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player who was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancee. He was convict-ed and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.
Last Friday, Hernandez was acquitted in the deadly 2012 drive-by shootings of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado in Boston. Prosecutors said he gunned them down after one of the men accidentally spilled a drink on him in a Boston nightclub.
Earlier in the week, cameras spied Hernandez blowing kisses to the young daughter he fathered with fiancée Shayanna Jenkins.
His death was “a shocking and sad end to a very tragic series of events that has negative-ly impacted a number of families,” said Bristol County District Attorney Thomas Quinn, who pros-ecuted Hernandez in the Lloyd case.
Prosecutors suggested Lloyd may have been killed to keep him quiet about the 2012 Boston killings.
Hernandez’s lawyers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Patriots had no immediate comment.
Authorities opened an investigation into the death.
Tiger Woods to design new golf course in
southwest Missouri
HOLLISTER, Mo. (AP) — Tiger Woods will design an 18-hole golf course south of Branson, Missouri, that will be named after the late Payne Stewart, a Missouri native who won 11 PGA events before dying in a plane crash in 1999.
Woods made the announcement Tuesday with Johnny Morris, found-er and CEO of Bass Pro Shops, who owns the land where the new course — to be called Payne’s Valley — will be built.
The course will be on the site of the Murder Rock Golf Club, a John Daly course that closed when Morris bought the land in October 2013. It is scheduled to open in 2019, The Springfield News-Leader reported.
Woods said he was attract-ed to the project because of his long friendship with Morris and a desire to honor Stewart.
“I’ve traveled all around the world and played all around the world, but when it comes down to it, it’s about working with the peo-ple you want to work with,” he said. “Johnny and I go way back. I like spending time around people I like spending time with.”
Woods’ design firm, TGR Design, is handling the course, which is the first public course TGR Design has handled. The firm also will design a par-3 course at the nearby Big Cedar Lodge.
