SHERIDAN — Sheridan'sCritical Air Service Team hashit a wall in its efforts to recruita dependable charter plane serv-ice to serve the community. Thedifficulty of funding a small air-line, either via subsidy or pas-senger traffic alone, is an issuethat increasingly plagues com-munities across the nation.

Over the past months, repre-sentatives from both Sheridanand Johnson counties have metwith multiple charter carriersin hopes of negotiating a servicecontract to supplement existingservice from Great LakesAirlines. While CAST wants toretain service from Great Lakes,reliability issues have exposedthe necessity to establish anoth-er carrier or find a way to fixexisting issues.

"The factual cir-cumstance out thereis that the commuterair service industryis pretty fragile,"Forward SheridanExecutive DirectorJay Stender said. "It'sa very competitivebusiness and there's a shortageof players. Theres' a shortage ofpilots and a shortage of air-planes."

Regardless, CAST has pushedforward and identified severaloptions to keep Sheridan's airservice — a vital lifeline forbusiness development — afloat.CAST has solicited help fromthe Wyoming Department ofTransportation AeronauticsDivision to petition the state for$1.5 million to provide a subsidyto an airline that can commit toproviding reliable servicebetween Sheridan and Denvertwice daily. The state fundswould be added to the $750,000pledged by Sheridan andJohnson counties for the samepurpose.

CHEYENNE (AP) — Rep. Cynthia Lummisannounced her bid to seek a fourth two-yearterm to Wyoming’s only seat in the U.S. House ofRepresentatives.

The Republican was first elected to the Housein 2008 and easily won re-election in 2010 and2012.

In remarks Wednesday, Lummis said shebelieves the federal government shouldn’timpede “our pursuit of happiness — to earnsuccess, to raise a family the way we choose to,to have a state that is different from other statesand then support the goals and ideals of the peo-

ple who live here.”“The federal government cannot do better for

Wyoming than Wyoming can do for itself,” shesaid.

Lummis listed issues important to the state,such as energy, that she is working on as well asnational issues, such as the investigations intothe Internal Revenue Service handling of tax-exempt status applications by conservativegroups and the 2012 attacks on a diplomaticcompound in Benghazi, Libya.

SHERIDAN — With little fanfare, theWyoming Game and Fish Commissionsigned a lease for its most ambitious andmost expensive water leasing project todate on Wednesday in Casper.

The $2.9 million lease on Lake DeSmetof a majority of the lake’s shoreline andsurface area will secure and stabilizeboating, fishing and other recreationalactivities in the region for decades tocome.

The signing of the lease also brings sta-bility — and extra funds — to SheridanCounty.

Sheridan County commissionersstopped in Casper on their way to aWyoming County CommissionersAssociation conference in Saratoga to wit-ness the signing of the lease that will offi-cially enact an agreement betweenSheridan and Johnson counties, whichwere the two remaining parties in theLake DeSmet Counties Coalition JointPowers Board that oversaw lake manage-ment.

That agreement will free SheridanCounty from obligations for lake mainte-nance costs and debt payment.

SHERIDAN — The weather is warmingand the school year is ending.

Soon our youth will be free to stretchtheir legs, soak up the sun, go for a swimand play outside all day long.

It’s easy to assume that the freedomfrom cafeteria food and the confines ofsitting at a desk all day will make forhealthier kids in the summer months, butstatistically speaking, that is not the case.

A study published by The AmericanJournal of Public Health titled “TheEffect of School on Overweight in

Childhood: Gain in Body Mass IndexDuring the School Year and DuringSummer Vacation” tracked 5,380 childrenthrough kindergarten and first grade at310 schools from across the nation.

They found that BMI — the relative per-centages of a person’s fat and musclemass based on height and weight — accel-erated two to three times faster duringsummer vacation than during the schoolyear.

They concluded that a school’s diet andexercise policies may be less than ideal.

SHERIDAN — A majority ofrespondents to a survey conduct-ed by the Sheridan CountySchool District 1 RecreationDistrict said additional activityprogramming would be a positiveaddition to the Big Horn area.

The Recreation District boardheld a worksession Wednesday togo through the survey results. Atotal of nearly 230 responseswere received.

“Just based on the surveyresults, I think it validates thefact that there is need of a recre-ation program out there,”Recreation District boardPresident Zack Cummins said.

The board hoped to find outhow many people in the BigHorn area wanted a communitycenter and what kind of pro-gramming they would like to see.

Seventy-eight percent of surveyrespondents said they feel thatenhanced extra-curricular pro-gramming and services for chil-dren and adults would be a posi-tive addition to the Big Horncommunity.

The board also broke down thearea where respondents live inrelation to the planned locationof the facility. Out of the 21 peo-ple who filled out the survey andlive less than a 1/2 mile from theproposed site of the project, 19percent said they did not feel theprogramming would be a positiveaddition to the Big Horn commu-nity. Another 9.5 percent ofrespondents said they were notsure.

The survey did not ask directlyif a community center was need-ed, though.

It also did not ask directlyabout whether or not the locationof the facility was acceptable,only how close respondents livedto the proposed site.

Cummins said this morningthat the location of the proposedfacility was addressed in thecover letter that accompanied thesurvey.

FROM STAFF REPORTS

SHERIDAN — Rep. Kathy Coleman, R-Sheridan, has announced she will seek asecond term as representative for HouseDistrict 30, which encompasses much ofcentral Sheridan County mostly outside ofcity limits.

Coleman is currently serving her firstterm in Wyoming’s House ofRepresentatives after being appointed toserve the remaining term of former Rep.John Botten in 2012 and successfully win-ning the seat in the same year.

Coleman serves on the Labor, Health andSocial Services committee, which has

focused primarily on AffordableCare Act implementation andimpact in the last couple years.

“I have enjoyed serving myconstituents in the WyomingLegislature and wish to contin-ue to serve Wyoming citizensfor another term,” Colemansaid in a media release.

Coleman said serving on the Labor,Health and Social Services committee hasbeen both challenging and rewarding.

“In terms of the big picture, you can’tcreate such a large federal program anddrop it on our doorstep without problemsand challenges along with it. That work is

nowhere near complete, and I wish toremain involved to ensure Wyoming is pro-tected against any negative consequencesor impact while also helping to createWyoming-specific solutions that work forour unique state,” Coleman added.

Creating solutions involves an under-standing of the unique adversitiesWyoming faces in health care delivery sys-tems and continued legislative effort tohelp Wyoming make modifications to thosesystems with limited resources, Colemansaid.

During her first term, Coleman workedon ACA implementation, the interim com-mittee on health insurance exchanges,

Medicaid reform and employment laws. She hopes to continue work in those

areas, as well as continue to advocate forthe developmentally disabled populationand the programs serving those individu-als. Coleman serves on the HealthCommittees for both the National Councilof State Legislators and the Council ofState Government-West and in January ofthis year was appointed as Wyoming’sState Director for Women in Government.

Additionally, Coleman completed theWestern Legislative Leadership Academy, ahighly competitive course aimed at devel-oping legislators to become more effectiveleaders.

CASPER (AP) — Arch Coal Inc. haswritten off as a loss its total $57.7 mil-lion investment in a planned coal-to-liq-uids plant in southern Wyoming butcontinues to maintain its equity inter-est in the project, according to a com-pany spokeswoman and a recent reportto federal regulators.

Houston-based DKRW AdvancedFuels has planned to build the $2 bil-lion facility near Medicine Bow toprocess coal into gasoline and other liq-uid fuel.

The Casper Star-Tribune reported onWednesday that Arch Coal invested $25million into the planned DKRW plantin 2006 in exchange for a 24 percentstake in the company and has put inmore money since then. Arch hadplanned to provide coal to the facility.

A receptionist told The AssociatedPress on Wednesday that DKRWChairman Robert C. Kelly was notavailable.

The project, which has struggled withpermitting and funding delays, has lost$62 million during the past seven years,according to a review of Arch’s finan-cial filings with the U.S. Securities andExchange Commission by Taxpayersfor Common Sense, a Washington, D.C.-based watchdog group.

Arch loaned DKRW a total of $44 mil-lion between 2006 and 2013, none ofwhich has been paid back, while watch-ing its equity in the company fall to$13.7 million, the filing states.

Late last year, the coal company sig-naled it had all but given up on theproject after Sinopec EngineeringGroup, a Chinese firm DKRW hadretained to build the facility, did notstart work on time. DKRW later termi-nated its contract with Sinopec.

In its 2013 annual report to the SEC,Arch Coal listed its total $57.7 millioninvestment in the project — $44 millionin outstanding debts and $13.7 millionin remaining equity — as a loss.

“Given the absence of a specific pathforward and timeline for the project,we concluded that ... writing down thevalue during the fourth quarter of 2013was the appropriate course of action,”Arch spokeswoman Kim Link told thenewspaper. “DKRW continues to seekfinancing for the project, which is anessential next step in order to move for-ward.”

DKRW has pursued federal assistanceto build the plant. The U.S. Departmentof Energy tentatively approvedDKRW’s request for a $1.75 billion fed-eral loan guarantee in 2009. The federalapproval was contingent on the projectpassing an environmental review.

Review of the DKRW project stalledafter the Energy Department’s lendingprogram attracted congressionalscrutiny for its $535 million loan to thenow bankrupt California solar-panelmaker Solyndra. In recent months,DKRW officials have said they were inrenewed talks over the loan applica-tion.

Autumn Hanna, a senior project man-ager at Taxpayers for Common Sense,said Arch’s write-off raises seriousconcerns over whether federal fundingshould be used to finance the project.

“It just looks to me that there is noth-ing that they can turn it around,”Hanna said. “It is just year after year oflosses, and even Arch Coal recognizesthat.”

The Wyoming Industrial SitingCouncil in December extended a per-mit for the coal-to-liquids plant, givingDKRW more time to begin construc-tion.

The permit would become invalid ifDKRW doesn’t submit a constructionschedule within 30 months of theDecember approval.

GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) — Montana Attorney General TimFox on Wednesday gave a conservation group the records it want-ed about Fox’s decision to join other states in protesting plans toregulate hydraulic fracturing on federal land.

Fox’s office turned over the documents to the MontanaEnvironmental Information Center one day before a judge was tohear arguments in an open-records lawsuit, the Great FallsTribune reported.

The contents of the documents weren’t immediately known.Fox spokesman John Barnes described them in an email to TheAssociated Press as “redacted unrelated information regardingseparate litigation matters.”

The center first asked for the records in August, after Foxjoined attorneys general from Alabama, Alaska and Oklahoma insending a letter to U.S. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell expressing“serious concerns” and “strong objection” to proposed rules gov-erning hydraulic fracturing on federal land.

Fox released some of the documents in November and January,but he withheld others, in part citing litigation or expected litiga-tion. The conservation group filed its lawsuit in January.

Barnes said at the time the lawsuit was politically motivatedbecause it named only Fox, a Republican, even though “both ourDemocrat governor and the attorney general worked together toprotect Montana jobs from unnecessary federal regulation.”

On the same day the attorneys general sent their letter, Gov.Steve Bullock wrote his own letter to Jewell noting his “deep con-cern” about proposed rules involving hydraulic fracturing.

Hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking, boosts produc-tion from oil and gas wells by pumping pressurized water andchemicals into the wells to fracture open deposits.

On Wednesday, Barnes said the Attorney General’s Office wasno longer concerned that releasing the documents would compro-mise any litigation. Jim Jensen,director of the MontanaEnvironmental InformationCenter, said Fox’s office had“thrown in the towel.”

“I hope it wasn’t a matter of tak-ing eight months just to read theconstitution to realize what theyhad to do under the law,” he said.

In an agreement signedWednesday, Fox’s office still main-tained that attorney-client privi-lege and work-product privilegeapplied to some of the informationbut said the office was waivingthose privileges.

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Gov.Steve Bullock asked the stateparole board Wednesday to con-sider whether Barry Beach hasserved enough time in prison asthe board prepares to reviewBeach’s clemency application inthe 1979 beating death of aPoplar classmate.

Bullock sent the MontanaBoard of Pardons and Parole aletter before Tuesday’s sched-uled review on whether the cir-cumstances had changedenough in Beach’s case to merita clemency hearing.

In his letter, Bullock cited fac-tors he said deserve the board’sconsideration of commuting the100-year sentence. They includeBeach being a juvenile at thetime of the slaying, his beingimprisoned for more than 30years, his good behavior inprison and when he was freedfor 18 months starting in 2011while awaiting a new trial.

Beach and Kimberly Neeswere high-school classmates onthe Fort Peck IndianReservation. The U.S. SupremeCourt in 2012 ruled that juvenileoffenders can’t be sentenced tolife in prison without parole,and that they have the ability tochange, Bullock wrote.

“Under this reasoning, Mr.Beach should have an opportu-nity for rehabilitation outside ofprison,” Bullock wrote. “Thereasons for maintaining Mr.

Beach’s 100-years-without-parolesentence at taxpayer expensediminish with each passingyear.”

But Bullock stopped short ofexpressly advocating for aclemency recommendation. “Ifthe hearing panel decides to for-ward a recommendation ofclemency, I will carefully consid-er that recommendation,” hewrote.

Beach has long argued thatthe 1983 confession used to con-vict him was coerced by policeofficers in Louisiana. His causehas been taken up by hundredsof supporters, among themDemocratic U.S. Sen. Jon Tester,former Gov. Brian Schweitzerand former Republican U.S. Sen.Conrad Burns.

Bullock has previously said itwould be inappropriate for himto offer an opinion on Beach’srequest before the process playsout.

The governor’s letter was

unusual in other respects. BoardExecutive Director FernJohnson said she cannot recallany other time a sitting gover-nor has weighed in on a paroleboard case before it reached hisdesk. Also, Bullock helped putBeach back in prison after aLewistown judge ruled in 2011there was enough new evidencein the case to justify a new trialand ordered him released.Witnesses told the judge thatNees might have been beaten todeath in an out-of-control fightamong a gang of girls.

Bullock, who was attorneygeneral at the time, appealedthat decision to the MontanaSupreme Court. The high courtreversed the lower judge, andBeach went back to jail to finishhis term.

The board is meeting Tuesdayto review Beach’s clemencyapplication and decide whetherthere has been a substantialchange in Beach’s circum-stances to accept it. If they do,they will order an investigationto determine whether to hold aclemency hearing.

The board would then decidewhether to recommend clemen-cy to Bullock, who has the finalsay.

Johnson said she forwardedBullock’s letter to the boardmembers. “I know they willread it and consider it,” shesaid.

IN WASHINGTON |

The 1st Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging thefreedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Recently, Barack Obama — a Demosthenes determinedto elevate our politics from coarseness to elegance; aPericles sent to ameliorate our rhetorical impoverish-ment — spoke at the University of Michigan.

He came to that very friendly venue — in 2012, hereceived 67 percent of the vote in Ann Arbor’s county —after visiting a local sandwich shop, where a muse musthave whispered in the presidential ear. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) had recently released his budget, so Obamaexpressed his disapproval by calling it, for the benefit ofhis academic audience, a “meanwich” and a “stinkburg-

er.”Try to imagine Franklin Roosevelt or

Dwight Eisenhower or John Kennedy orRonald Reagan talking like that. It isunimaginable that those grown-upswould resort to japes that fourth-graders would not consider sufficientlyclever for use on a playground.

When Theodore Roosevelt was presi-dent, one of his good friends — he hadbeen best man at TR’s 1886 wedding —was the British diplomat Cecil SpringRice . So, when visitors to Washingtonwanted to learn about TR, they askedRice about him, and Springie, as TR

called him, would say: “You must always remember thatthe president is about 6.” Today’s president is older thanthat. But he talks like an arrested-development adoles-cent.

Anyone who has tried to engage a member of that agecohort in an argument probably recognizes the four basicteenage tropes, which also are the only arrows inObama’s overrated rhetorical quiver. He employed themall last week when he went to the White House briefingroom to exclaim, as he is wont to do, about the excellenceof the Affordable Care Act.

First came the invocation of a straw man. Celebratingthe ACA’s enrollment numbers, Obama, referring toRepublicans, charged: “They said nobody would sign up.”Of course, no one said this. Obama often is what politicalphilosopher Kenneth Minogue said of an adversary — “apyromaniac in a field of straw men.”

Adolescents also try to truncate arguments by sayingthat nothing remains of any arguments against theirarguments. Regarding the ACA, Obama said the debate is“settled” and “over.” Progressives also say the debateabout catastrophic consequences of man-made climatechange is “over,” so everyone should pipe down. And theysay the debates about the efficacy of universal preschool,and the cost-benefit balance of a minimum-wageincrease, are over. Declaring an argument over is somuch more restful than engaging with evidence.

A third rhetorical move by argumentative adolescentsis to declare that there is nothing to argue about becauseeverything is going along swimmingly. Seven timesObama asserted that the ACA is “working.” That is, how-ever, uninformative because it is ambiguous. The ethanolprogram is “working” in the sense that it is being imple-mented as its misguided architects intended.Nevertheless, the program is a substantial net subtrac-tion from the nation’s well-being. The same can be said ofsugar import quotas, or agriculture subsidies generally,or many hundreds of other government programs thatare, unfortunately, “working.”

Finally, the real discussion-stopper for the righteous —and there is no righteousness like an adolescent’s — is anassertion that has always been an Obama specialty. It isthat there cannot be honorable and intelligent disagree-ment with him. So last week, less than two minutes aftersaying that the argument about the ACA “isn’t about me,”Obama said some important opposition to the ACA isabout him, citing “states that have chosen not to expandMedicaid for no other reason than political spite.”

This, he said, must be spiteful because expandingMedicaid involves “zero cost to these states.” Well. Thefederal government does pay the full cost of expansion —for three years. After that, however, states will pay up to10 percent of the expansion’s costs, which itself will be alarge sum. And the 10 percent figure has not been gravenon stone by the finger of God. It can be enlarged whenev-er Congress wants, as surely it will, to enable more feder-al spending by imposing more burdens on the states. YetObama, who aspired to tutor Washington about civility, isincapable of crediting opponents with other than basemotives.

About one thing Obama was right, if contradictory. Hesaid Americans want politicians to talk about other sub-jects — but that Democrats should campaign by celebrat-ing the wondrousness of the ACA. This would be candidbecause it is what progressivism is — a top-down, conti-nent-wide tissue of taxes, mandates and other coercions.Is the debate about it over? Not quite.

Liberals can be disarming. In fact,they are for disarming anybodywho can be disarmed, whetherdomestically or internationally.

Unfortunately, the people who arethe easiest to disarm are the oneswho are the most peaceful — and dis-arming them makes them vulnerableto those who are the least peaceful.

We are currently getting a painfuldemonstration of that in Ukraine.When Ukraine became an independ-ent nation, it gave up all the nuclearmissiles that were on its territoryfrom the days when it had been partof the Soviet Union.

At that time, Ukraine had the thirdlargest arsenal of nuclear weaponsin the world. Do you think Putinwould have attacked Ukraine if itstill had those nuclear weapons? Ordo you think it is just a coincidencethat nations with nuclear weaponsdon't get invaded?

Among those who urged Ukraineto reduce even its conventional, non-nuclear weapons as well, was a newUnited States Senator named BarackObama. He was all for disarmamentthen, and apparently even now asPresident of the United States. Hehas refused Ukraine's request forweapons with which to defend itself.

As with so many things that liber-als do, the disarmament crusade isjudged by its good intentions, not byits actual consequences.

Indeed, many liberals seemunaware that the consequencescould be anything other than whatthey hope for. That is why disarma-ment advocates are called "the peacemovement."

Whether disarmament has in factled to peace, more often than mili-tary deterrence has, is something

that could beargued on the basisof the facts of his-tory — but it sel-dom is.

Liberals almostnever talk aboutdisarmament interms of evidenceof its conse-quences, whetherthey are discussinggun control athome or interna-tional disarma-

ment agreements.International disarmament agree-

ments flourished between the twoWorld Wars. Just a few years afterthe end of the First World War therewere the Washington NavalAgreements of 1921-1922 that led tothe United States actually sinkingsome of its own warships. Thenthere was the celebrated Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928, in whichnations renounced war, withFrance's Foreign Minister AristideBriand declaring, "Away with rifles,machine guns, and cannon!" The"international community" loved it.

In Britain, the Labour Partyrepeatedly voted against militaryarmaments during most of thedecade of the 1930s. A popular argu-ment of the time was that Britainshould disarm "as an example to oth-ers."

Unfortunately, Hitler did not followthat example. He was busy buildingthe most powerful military machineon the continent of Europe.

Nor did Germany or Japan allowthe Washington Naval Agreementsto cramp their style. The fact thatBritain and America limited the size

of their battleships simply meantthat Germany and Japan had largerbattleships when World War IIbegan.

What is happening in Ukrainetoday is just a continuation of theold story about nations that disarmincreasing the chances of beingattacked by nations that do not dis-arm.

Any number of empirical studiesabout domestic gun control laws tellmuch the same story. Gun controladvocates seldom, if ever, presenthard evidence that gun crimes ingeneral, or murder rates in particu-lar, go down after gun control lawsare passed or tightened.

That is the crucial question aboutgun control laws. But liberals settlethat question by assumption. Thenthey can turn their attention todenouncing the National RifleAssociation.

But neither the National RifleAssociation nor the SecondAmendment is the crucial issue. Ifthe hard facts show that gun controllaws actually reduce the murderrate, we can repeal the SecondAmendment, as other Amendmentshave been repealed.

If in fact tighter gun control lawsreduced the murder rate, that wouldbe the liberals' ace of trumps. Whythen do the liberals not play theirace of trumps, by showing us suchhard facts? Because they don't haveany such hard facts. So they give uslofty rhetoric and outraged indigna-tion instead.

Oldest living ex-MLBplayer dies in Cuba at 102

HAVANA (AP) — ConradoMarrero, the diminutive Cubanright-hander who pitched for theWashington Senators in the 1950sand in 2011 became the oldest liv-ing former Major LeagueBaseball player, died in Havanaon Wednesday. He was 102, justtwo days short of his 103rd birth-day.Marrero’s grandson said hedied in the early afternoon.

“He woke up in the morningand it was like he wasn’t there.He wasn’t reacting,” RogelioMarrero told The AssociatedPress.

“Connie” Marrero, as he wasknown in the States, was

renowned for his control and forhis presence on the mounddespite standing just 5 feet 5 inch-es tall and weighing 158 pounds.

What Marrero lacked in heat hemade up for with a tricky reper-toire of breaking balls, knucklersand other off-speed pitches. Healso had a quirky windup thatFelipe Alou once likened to “across between a windmill goneberserk and a mallard duck try-ing to fly backwards.”

In interviews with the AP inrecent years, Marrero recountedthe highlights of a career facingoff against Hall of Famers suchas Mickey Mantle and LarryDoby. Beating the New YorkYankees was especially gratify-ing, he said. He also recalledstruggling against left-handedbatters in general, and southpaw

slugger Ted Williams in particu-lar, a frustration shared by plentyof his contemporaries.

“One day Williams got twohome runs off me, and afterwardhe came up to me and said,‘Sorry, it was my day today,’”Marrero said in 2012. “I respond-ed, ‘Ted, every day is your day.’ “

Born April 25, 1911, in the townof Sagua la Grande, about 220miles (350 kilometers) east ofHavana, Marrero’s nickname onthe island was “The Peasant fromLaberinto,” after the farm wherehe grew up.

He began his career playingthird base, shortstop and in theoutfield, and his debut on themound came by accident one dayin 1935 when his Sagua clubdidn’t have a regular pitcheravailable.

CAST: Skywest Airlines says they don’t have the planes, pilots to serve SheridanFROM 1

This is where a viscous cycle begins. Anair carrier likely needs a subsidy to fly inand out of Sheridan, as purely commercialtraffic won't provide economic sustainabili-ty. CAST must have an air carrier agree toserve the community before the state sub-sidy funds can even be considered foraward. An airline that runs small planes isalready spread thin among existing routesand likely can't commit to expanded servic-es.

Case in point: Skywest Airlines."Skywest is clearly our best option,"

Stender said, indicating that after severalmeetings, CAST had been hoping to securesecondary service as soon as possible. "Wehave, in hand, a template of a contract fromSkywest, but Skywest has informed us theydon't have airplanes and pilots."

WYDOT Air Service DevelopmentManager Sherri Taylor said any applica-tion for state funding for subsidized airservice is considered incomplete until acarrier can and will agree to serve a com-

munity."The biggest road blocks so far have been

that they haven't been able to get a carrierto agree to serve them," Taylor said. "That'sthe biggest box to be checked."

Executive Vice President of InterVISTASConsulting William Swelbar wrote a whitepaper, titled "The Pending Pilot Shortage: A2017 Regional Industry Issue at Work," thatoutlined the compounded challenges facedby smalltime air carriers across the nation.

After federal regulations went into effectlate last year that stipulated commercialpilots must have significantly more flyinghours and rest time before flying a charterplane, many small airlines, including GreatLakes, experienced a mass exodus of thepilot workforce, either due to ineligibilityto fly under the new requirements or thepilots leaving the field because of low payand undesirable working conditions.

Taylor said even with the mandatedretirement age for pilots extended from 60to 65, approximately 18,000 pilots nation-wide are estimated to retire, and it'sunclear where their replacements are com-

ing from."You can spend four years at a university

wanting to fly and come out of school, andthen you need another 800 hours of flyingjust to be able to start at a very low salary,"Swelbar said in an interview with ThePress.

With the rapidly declining monetaryincentive to continue running 50-seats orless jets at the executive level, some indus-try experts are predicting the end of theera of commuter planes.

"Carriers operating these airplanes willbe faced with a monumental financial deci-sion within the next five years: whether toinvest in a major overhaul of the airframeor to simply park the aircraft," Swelbarwrote. "Given the well-documented deterio-rating economics of the airplane, it isbelieved many will be parked."

The decline of small planes is one thathas the potential to hit Sheridan hard.

"This is a difficult period for communi-ties on all sides," Swelbar said in an inter-view with The Press.

Finding a way around the industry-wide

problems of charter air service to secureservice in Sheridan will be a marathon andnot a sprint.

"We've got to get people into thinking thisis long haul," Stender said. "We're notgoing to get this done tomorrow."

Stender said CAST has also consideredalternative options, including buying asmall plane and hiring a pilot as a countyemployee or forging a contract with anoperator.

Another option, he said, includes allocat-ing a smaller subsidy to Great Lakes toreset existing services and rebuild a recordof punctuality.

"Great Lakes is very important to us,"Stender emphasized. "We are trying to workwith them through our communications toaffect service. Basically, to improve reliabil-ity."

The next step for CAST is that Stenderwill provide an update to the WYDOT AirService Commission next month in Gillette.In the meantime, eyes and ears are open fora way around the downward trend of smallair service.

KIDS: Keeping kidsengaged key to health

FROM 1

Also, it appears that school environments con-tribute less to being overweight than non-schoolenvironments do, stating that “many non-schoolenvironments are relatively unstructured andunsupervised allowing children to indulge insedentary activities and excessive snacking.”

They also noted that maturation — a child’stypical pattern of growth and development —does not explain summer weight gain and inter-ventions focused exclusively on improving healthin the schools are insufficient as unhealthyweight gain occurs mainly in non-school environ-ments.

A similar study titled “Adolescent SummerCare Arrangements and Risk for Obesity theFollowing School Year” was written by J.L.Mahoney and published in the Journal ofAdolescence in 2011.

In it, Mahoney finds that the daily arrange-ments for youth on summer break can predict thechild’s risk for obesity. Adolescents whose regu-lar care included participation in organizedactivities were significantly less likely to be atrisk for obesity than youth without such arrange-ments. Still, finding and arranging a variety ofactivities to keep your child active and engagedthroughout the summer months can be hard andgetting them excited about health, even harder.

As part of a national YMCA initiative, theSheridan Y, in partnership with the WellnessCouncil of Sheridan County, is hoping to help.

On Saturday the annual Healthy, Safe Kids Daywill be held from 8 a.m. to noon at the YMCAoffering a variety of free activities and ideas tohelp parents and students alike survive the sum-mer lag.

Tarra Donahue, health and well-being directorof the Sheridan County YMCA, said the focus ofthe national initiative is to build a happier,healthier kid by enriching kids and parents withthe importance of staying active all summerlong.

“It’s important to get them away from the TVscreen, out of the house and keep them active,”she said.

The day will begin with a community pancakebreakfast from 8-9 a.m. in the front room of theYMCA. From 9-11 a.m. interactive booths will beoffered and the entire facility will be open andfree to all, including the children’s indoor play-ground Playland.

Informative booths will include hand washingsafety, pedestrian safety, cyber bullying presentedby Advanced Communication Technology, sum-mer camp safety and Joy Junction summer campinformation, 4-wheeler safety presented by theforest service with a guest appearance by SmokeyBear and more.

Community partners will join in the efforts asthe fire department offers truck tours, SheridanCounty School District 2 will be outside with anobstacle course and mini T-ball games and thepolice department will host a bike rodeo that willtest riders’ maneuvering skills and be placednext to the bike helmet-fitting booth.

In addition to the YMCA being free for the day,staff will host unique activities. The aquaticdepartment will teach people how to get in andout of the pool safely, the Y Healthy Kitchen willbe hosting food art sessions and dance instruc-tors will be teaching hip hop lessons.

Outside vendors will include Back CountryBikes who will be performing free bike checks,the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America willbe hosting children’s activities, State Farm willbe handing out free helmets and Raising Readerswill be reading to the kids and handing out freebooks. The day will conclude with a communityopen swim in the two pools from 11 a.m. to noon.

A registration table will be handing out “pass-ports” at the front door. Guests can visit eachbooth for a stamp in their passports and returncompleted books to the table for a chance to win aprize. Prizes will include free YMCA member-ships, camp enrollments, youth programs andmore, helping to ensure the activities last allsummer long.

“There will be something for everyone fromtoddler to grade school,” Donahue said. “I knowas a mother myself I have one boy who neverwants to leave the house. We just have to get themout and have some fun with being active.”

PROJECT: County free of maintenance responsibilitiesFROM 1

It will also guarantee water forSheridan County irrigators down-stream from the lake and secure 2,500-acre-feet of senior water rights forSheridan County, Commissioner TomRingley said. Those water rights willenable Sheridan County to withdraw,lease, sell, exchange and use LakeDeSmet water at no cost and with rea-sonable access granted by JohnsonCounty.

Now that the lease is approved, theLake DeSmet Counties Coalition JointPowers Board is officially dissolved andJohnson County will assume full owner-ship and operation of the lake.

Johnson County is the sole partici-pant in the Game and Fish Commissionlease, which is set for 99 years with anoption for Johnson County to terminateafter 50 years, if desired.

Johnson County will also pay in fullthe debt owed by the counties coalitionto the Wyoming Water DevelopmentCommission for evaluations and reno-vation projects conducted on LakeDeSmet in the last 10 years.

Moreover, the agreement stipulatesthat Johnson County will pay SheridanCounty $500,000, to be paid in $100,000increments over five years, as reim-bursement for expenses incurred foroperation of the lake, Ringley said. Thiswill come through the sale of SheridanCounty’s 45 percent interest in lakeassets to Johnson County.

Ringley said the county has not madeany plans for use of the extra $100,000per year, or the money it will not haveto pay out for lake operation, because itwanted to make sure the lease wentthrough before committing the moneyto anything.

The first $100,000 payment is expectedin July.

“All the stars aligned. It was present-ed, placed on the agenda, came up, theGame and Fish Commission voted andit was unanimously passed to acceptit,” Ringley said. “The highlight is thatthe Game and Fish will pay JohnsonCounty nearly $3 million for a 99-yearlease of junior water rights in the lake,which will guarantee preservation ofthe fishery and recreational opportuni-ties.”

“Part of the agreement betweenJohnson County and Sheridan Countyand the Game and Fish is that down-stream irrigators in Sheridan Countywho have contracts for water from LakeDeSmet, those will be honored. Thatwas one of the commissioners’ primaryconcerns was to make sure SheridanCounty irrigators would get the waterthey have contracts for,” Ringley added.

It is hoped the lease and agreementwill bring stability to ownership andoperation of Lake DeSmet which hashad ranchers, irrigators, boaters, fish-ers, miners, industrial developmentdreamers and several boards of com-missioners vying for its nearly 235,000acre feet of water over the years.

In 2004, Campbell County left thecounties coalition, and in November2012, Sheridan and Johnson countiesdecided to split up and dissolve thecoalition over disagreements about theGame and Fish lease that was justsigned.

“It’s a win-win for Sheridan County,and a win-win for Johnson County, anda win-win for the Game and Fish andthe people,” Ringley said.

BUILDING: If approved, hope to complete by early 2015FROM 1

“We felt that the whole survey was framed by where theproposed center is located based on the cover letter and therest of the materials provided,” he said.

He added that the proposed location is just one commerciallot removed from a commercial intersection.

“I feel like that is as good of a spot as any,” Cummins said.At least 11 people indicated they did not agree with the

location of the proposed facility in the comments portion ofthe survey.

Comments provided in the survey focused on ideas for pro-gramming and partnerships as well as concerns about thelocation, traffic, funding and redundancy of services.

Board members said the next step will be a vote from therecreation district to pursue the project. That meeting has

not yet been scheduled. But, if the motion to pursue the community center passes,

then the board will take the plans to the Sheridan Countycommissioners for approval. If the county OKs the project,board members said they hope to have the facility open byearly 2015.

The Recreation District has been working closely with theWyoming Department of Transportation to ensure that thelocation will be a safe place for people to exit and enter theroad.

If the building is approved, the board said they will workwith WYDOT to add additional safety mechanisms in andaround the center as it relates to traffic safety.

The facility itself will be funded with insurance moneyobtained when the former bus barn on the facility burneddown.

She criticized Democrats assupporters of big unions, biggovernment and big business,while describing Republicansas supporters of smallunions, small governmentand small business.

However, she also said theGOP leadership in the Housecould do a better job of man-aging the chamber to ensurea fairer and more open leg-islative process.

“Still, we see legislationcoming out of the leadershipoffices, going straight to thefloor of the House, bypassingthe committees of jurisdic-tion and being voted on,” shesaid.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Wranglers inthe West who have for decades cashedin on the allure of getting on a horseand setting out on an open trail saythey have had to add bigger horses totheir stables to help carry largertourists over the rugged terrain.

The ranches say they are using drafthorses, the diesels of the horse world,in ever greater numbers to make surethey don’t lose out on income frompotential customers of any size whocome out to get closer to the West ofyesteryear.

“Even though a person might be over-weight, or, you know, heavier than theaverage American, it’s kind of nice wecan provide a situation where they canride with their family,” said wrangler T.James “Doc” Humphrey.

Humphrey’s 10-gallon hat, goatee,black vest and spurs are a touristfavorite at Sombrero Ranches, east ofRocky Mountain National Park, wherethey have 20 draft horses, includingBelgians and Percherons, and 25 drafthorses mixes.

Ranch operators say they beganadding the bigger horses in the 1990s,but the pace has picked up in recentyears.

Over the last 20 years, obesity hasincreased to more than a third of adultsand about 17 percent of children age 2to 19, according to federal statistics.

“I think it’s wonderful that these peo-ple are looking to accommodate peopleof larger body size,” said Peggy Howell,spokeswoman for the NationalAssociation to Advance Fat Acceptance,adding that more businesses shouldbecome “size savvy.”

“People of larger body size enjoy ath-letic activities just as much as peoplewith what’s considered normal bodysize,” she said.

Draft horses fell out of favor asmachines took over pulling farm equip-ment in the mid-20th century, saidElaine Beardsley of the Ohio-basedPercheron Horse Association ofAmerica.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — TheOklahoma Supreme Court has ruledthat two death row inmates are notentitled to know the source of thedrugs that will be used to kill them,putting them both on track to be exe-cuted as early as next week.

In rejecting the inmates’ claims lateWednesday, the court also lifted a stayof execution that it had granted earli-er in the week in a case that placedOklahoma’s two highest courts atodds and prompted calls for theimpeachment of Supreme Court jus-tices.

The decision paves the way fordeath row inmates Clayton Lockettand Charles Warner to receive a lethalinjection at the Oklahoma StatePenitentiary in McAlester. A stayissued on Tuesday by Gov. MaryFallin remains in place for Lockett,but only until April 29, the same dayWarner is scheduled to die.

Fallin spokesman Alex Weintz hassaid the governor is still reviewingthe court’s ruling and has not made adecision on what she will do. Weintzhas said it is possible both men couldbe executed on April 29.

“It is unacceptable that Oklahomanshave no way of knowing that thescheduled upcoming executions ofClayton Lockett and Charles Warnerwould be carried out in a constitution-al and humane manner,” said SethDay, an attorney for both inmates.“It’s not even known whether thelethal injection drugs to be used wereobtained legally, and nothing isknown about their source, purity, orefficacy, among other questions.Oklahoma’s extreme secrecy sur-rounding lethal injection underminesour courts and democracy.”

But Oklahoma Attorney GeneralScott Pruitt said the court’s decisionaffirmed a longstanding precedentthat the source of the execution drugsshould remain confidential to avoid“intimidation used by defense counseland other anti-death penalty groups.”

NEW YORK (AP) — The tiny Pacificnation of the Marshall Islands is tak-ing on the United States and theworld’s eight other nuclear-armednations with an unprecedented law-suit demanding that they meet theirobligations toward disarmament andaccusing them of “flagrant viola-tions” of international law.

The island group that was used fordozens of U.S. nuclear tests afterWorld War II was filing suit Thursday

against each of the nine countries inthe International Court of Justice inThe Hague, Netherlands. It also wasfiling a federal lawsuit against theUnited States in San Francisco, nam-ing President Barack Obama, thedepartments and secretaries ofdefense and energy and the NationalNuclear Security Administration.

The Marshall Islands claims thenine countries are modernizing theirnuclear arsenals instead of negotiat-

ing disarmament, and it estimatesthat they will spend $1 trillion onthose arsenals over the next decade.

“I personally see it as kind of Davidand Goliath, except that there are noslingshots involved,” David Krieger,president of the California-basedNuclear Age Peace Foundation, toldThe Associated Press. He is acting asa consultant in the case. There arehopes that other countries will jointhe legal effort, he said.

NFL schedule is out, Seahawks start NFL season off against Packers NEW YORK (AP) — Mike McCarthy

promises there won't be any bad memoriesplaguing his Green Bay Packers when theyopen the NFL season on Sept. 4 at SuperBowl champion Seattle.

The last time Green Bay visitedCenturyLink Field was in Week 3 of the2012 season, a 14-12 Seahawks victoryclinched on what now is often dubbed the"Fail Mary." Russell Wilson's desperationpass on the final play was called a touch-down reception for Golden Tate by thereplacement officials.

A few days later, the lockout of the regu-lar officials ended.

It's the third straight season the Packershave traveled to face the defending SuperBowl champions.

"It's a tremendous opportunity for ourfootball team," Packers coach Mike

McCarthy said. "We have experience play-ing in the kickoff opener three years ago,and we will draw on that. Obviously, beingthe visiting team this time presents newchallenges. It will help sharpen our focuseven more during training camp and thepreseason."

That Thursday game is the first of fourprime-time games on opening weekend.Also at night will be a Sunday matchup ofAFC champion Denver and PeytonManning hosting his former team,Indianapolis; and a Monday night double-header with the New York Giants atDetroit, followed by San Diego at Arizona.

The NFL will play three games inLondon: Dolphins-Raiders on Sept. 28;Lions-Falcons on Oct. 26; and Cowboys-Jaguars on Nov. 9. The Detroit-Atlantagame will kick off at 9:30 a.m. ET in an

experiment to test the NFL's audience drawon a Sunday morning.

A Saturday doubleheader in Week 16 hasSan Diego at San Francisco andPhiladelphia at Washington.

For the first time, games in Weeks 5through 10 can be flexed from Sunday after-noon to night, with a limit of two.Beginning with Week 11, a Sunday gamecan be moved to prime time each week.Also, a select number of Sunday afternoongames are being "cross-flexed," movingbetween CBS and Fox to potentially drawmore viewers.

The Thanksgiving tripleheader featuresthree strong division rivalries: Chicago atDetroit, Philadelphia at Dallas, and Seattleat San Francisco, a rematch of the memo-rable NFC title game last January.

That game will be played in 49ers' new

stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., which opensin Week 2 when they host Chicago in aSunday night match.

Looking for the latest installment ofManning vs. Tom Brady? The Patriots hostit on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 2.

And for those looking for the rematch ofthe Super Bowl, Seattle's 43-8 rout ofDenver, it's on Sept. 21 at Seattle. Denveropens the season against three 2013 playoffteams: Indianapolis and Kansas City athome, then at the Seahawks.

"I think when you look at it, we have tostart fast," Broncos general manager JohnElway said. "We knew it was going to be atough schedule playing the NFC West, andwhen we finish first in our division like wehave the past three years, it is always goingto be a tough schedule with a lot of goodfootball teams on it."

DENVER (AP) — With the bases loaded, thecount full and the game on the line in extrainnings, Chad Bettis had no wiggle room for abreaking ball or an off-speed pitch.

He had to rely on his fastball, and he knew it.So did Hector Sanchez.Sanchez hit two of San Francisco’s six home

runs, including an 11th-inning grand slam offBettis, and the Giants hung on to beat theColorado Rockies 12-10 on Wednesday.

Sanchez, the Giants’ backup catcher, also hada solo home run in the eighth and finishedwith a career-high five RBIs.

With the score tied at 8-all and the Rockiestrying to complete a series sweep of the Giantsat Coors Field for the first time in 12 years,Sanchez drove a fastball from Bettis (0-1) overthe wall in center.

“Once I got to 3-2, just trying to fill up thezone,” Bettis said. “I had nowhere to put him.He kept fouling off until he got a pitch hecould hit. From my standpoint, threw toomany (fastballs). I put myself in a bad spot andgot hurt for it.”

Rockies manager Walt Weiss said thatSanchez, whose slam came at the end of a 10-pitch at-bat, was able to draw a bead on Bettis’pitching because of the long plate appearance.

“That at-bat got extended against Sanchez, a3-2 count, he ended up getting him timed up

pretty well,” Weiss said. “Pretty much bankinghe was going to get a fastball at that point.”

Michael Morse also hit two homers — a soloshot in the second and a three-run homer thefollowing inning — as two Giants hit multiplehomers in the same game for the first timesince May 25, 2005. Brandon Hicks andBrandon Belt also went deep as the Giants ral-lied from a 5-1, second-inning deficit.

Jean Machi (4-0) got one out in the 10th forthe win. Sergio Romo struggled in a non-savesituation, allowing a two-run homer to JustinMorneau, but retiring Brandon Barnes on agame-ending 5-4-3 double play.

Hunter Pence led off the 11th with a singleand Belt followed with a walk. After a sacrifice,Joaquin Arias was intentionally walked to getto Sanchez, who delivered his first career slam.

Sanchez sent the first pitch from relieverMatt Belisle into the second deck to give theGiants an 8-7 lead in the eighth.

But the Rockies tied it in the bottom halfwhen D.J. LeMahieu singled and was buntedover to second. He went to third on a balk bySantiago Casilla and scored on CharlieBlackmon’s sharp grounder to Hicks, whocouldn’t field it cleanly to make a play at home.

Despite the loss, the Rockies completed a 4-2homestand, taking the series against Giantsand Philadelphia Phillies.

Rockies fall to Giants 12-10 in 11 innings

BOSTON (AP) — The pine tar glistened onMichael Pineda’s neck, improving his grip andinviting trouble.

He got both.The Yankees’ right-hander spoke quietly after

being ejected in the second inning of the RedSox’ 5-1 win over New York on Wednesday night.And less than two weeks after appearing to getaway with using a foreign substance in anothergame against Boston, he vowed never to do itagain.

“I’ll learn from this mistake,” a contritePineda said. “It won’t happen again.”

Pineda said he had trouble gripping the ball onthe cool evening when he allowed two runs inthe first inning.

Before he took the mound for the second, hesaid, he rubbed pine tar on the right side of hisneck.

“I don’t feel the ball,” he said. “I don’t want tohit anybody.”

One small problem: Rule 8.02(b). Written tokeep pitchers from altering the ball to gain anunfair advantage, it prohibits them from havinga foreign substance on them or in their posses-sion on the mound and says that they’ll be sus-pended if they do.

That suspension could be announced Thursday.In recent suspensions of pitchers for pine tar,Tampa Bay’s Joel Peralta was penalized eightgames in 2012, the Los Angeles Angels’ BrendanDonnelly 10 days in 2005 and St. Louis’ JulianTavarez 10 days in 2004.

The suspensions of Donnelly and Tavarez werecut to eight days after they asked the players’association to appeal.

“We will talk to the umpires (Thursday) andreview their report before taking any action,”Major League Baseball spokesman MichaelTeevan said.

Boston manager John Farrell, especially vigi-lant after Pineda was spotted with a browngooey substance on his right hand in the fourthinning on April 10, asked plate umpire GerryDavis to check the pitcher with two out and norunners in the second.

Davis looked at the ball, touched Pineda’s neck,and tossed him.

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman andmanager Joe Girardi said they didn’t knowPineda had the pine tar on his neck when hewent on the field for the second. By the time theyfound out, it was too late.

“Go to the mound and wipe it off ?” Girardisaid. “Well, that would have been a little obvi-ous.”

But how could Pineda take a chance by puttingpine tar in a more visible spot than where thesubstance — he said it was dirt — was seen inthe Yankees’ 4-1 win over the Red Sox on a coldnight in New York?

“I don’t know,” he said.Farrell didn’t protest then because he didn’t

see a photograph of Pineda’s hand until thefourth inning and, when Pineda came out towarm up for the fifth, his hand was clean.

“It is surprising, especially being on TV thefirst time we played them,” said Boston’s MikeNapoli, who had three hits. “Every pitcher doessomething. You can’t blatantly be out thereshowing. It’s kind of silly.”

Did the Yankees tell Pineda directly after thefirst instance not to do it again?

“There’s been enough conversations,”Cashman said, “and, obviously, there’ll be more.”

He said he was “embarrassed.” Girardi saidPineda used “poor judgment” but didn’t try tocheat. Pineda said he was “sad” and apologizedto teammates.

The pine tar appeared on his neck after arough first inning in which he allowed four hits,including RBI singles by Dustin Pedroia and A.J.Pierzynski.

Pineda was much better in the second, strikingout two batters. But when he got a 1-2 count onGrady Sizemore, Farrell came out of the dugoutand asked Davis to check Pineda.

Pineda says he’lllearn from ejection

for pine tar

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Zack Greinke is in midseasonform. Cole Hamels is just starting his season.

Greinke outpitched Hamels with seven strong innings,Hanley Ramirez homered and Yasiel Puig drove in two runsfor the Los Angeles Dodgers in a 5-2 victory over thePhiladelphia Phillies on Wednesday night.

“It wasn’t like everything was incredible, but I could useanything in or away at any time,” Greinke said. “For themost part, throughout my whole career, I’ve had at least twopitches. There have been very few games where I don’t havetwo pitches working, and usually there’s three.”

Greinke (4-0) allowed two runs and five hits while strikingout 11 and walking one batter intentionally. Manager DonMattingly tried to squeeze one more inning out of the right-hander, but lifted him after Jayson Nix drove Greinke’s108th pitch to left-center for a leadoff homer.

J.P. Howell got three outs in the eighth, and Kenley Jansenpitched a perfect ninth for his eighth save after the Dodgerspicked up a couple of insurance runs in the eighth onRamirez’s leadoff homer to center and Justin Turner’s RBIsingle off Shawn Camp.

Greinke is off to the second-best start of his 11-year career.He won his first six decisions in 2009 with Kansas City, whenhe finished 16-8 and established career bests with a 2.16 ERAand 242 strikeouts en route to the AL Cy Young Award.

“He’s been a great pitcher. He took off in Kansas Citywhen he won that Cy Young and he’s been good ever since,”Hamels said. “He’s a true competitor and he’s pretty smart.He definitely knows how to pitch, and you know when youhave to face a guy like him, you have to keep the other guyfrom scoring because he’s going to do the same.”

It was Greinke’s 18th double-digit strikeout game in themajors and his first in 33 starts with the Dodgers. This wasthe 17th consecutive start in which Greinke pitched at leastfive innings while allowing fewer than three runs.

Hamels took the loss in his season debut, after missing thefirst three weeks because of biceps tendinitis. The 30-year-

old left-hander made 86 pitches, allowing two runs and sixhits over six innings with five strikes and a walk. He made30 or more starts in each of the previous six seasons, sostarting the season this late was an adjustment for him.

“That’s in the past. I don’t really think about last year orlast week. I just keep going forward and try to get healthy,”Hamels said. “I was worried about what I had to do — buildup my pitch going and get ready to start every five days.That’s what transpired for the past couple of weeks. That’skind of all I could do.

“I knew what I was going into. It was just a matter ofpreparing myself just like I normally have and getting readyin a spring training-type setting. It was just a couple ofweeks later than everybody else.”

Puig struck out his first two times up, but lined an RBI sin-gle to right in the fifth to put the Dodgers ahead 2-1 afterHamels gave up a two-out single by Drew Butera and walkedGreinke.

“You can never walk the pitcher. I understand Greinke is avery good hitter, but at the same time, you have to let himhit his way on,” Hamels said. “That right there was the ball-game. It decided everything in terms of what transpired inthe next inning and it racked up my pitch count rightthere.”

Juan Uribe’s sacrifice fly gave Los Angeles 1-0 lead in thesecond, after Matt Kemp led off with the first of his two dou-bles. Ryan Howard tied it in the fourth with an RBI singleafter a leadoff double by Jimmy Rollins.

“One of the keys, where Rollins hit that leadoff double, Ididn’t even try to keep him from scoring,” Greinke said. “Itwould be really tough. As long as you just limit it to that onerun, it’s not that big of a deal. That’s kind of the mindset.It’s been working.”

Greinke had nine strikeouts through the first five innings,including five in a row after Howard’s hit. Greinke doubledwith two outs in the seventh and scored on Puig’s triple offthe right field fence.

Teen golfergetting usedto attention

CHICAGO (AP) — Patrick Kane had hisshot all along. Same for his dazzling puck-handling skills and the vision that sees theplays before they happen.

What Kane got back on Wednesday nightwas his legs, and the result was a familiarone.

Kane scored his second goal of the gameat 11:17 of overtime, and the ChicagoBlackhawks beat the St. Louis Blues 4-3 toeven their first-round playoff series at twogames.

“Special player. Patience, play recogni-tion, delays, just at a different level youdon’t see often,” Blackhawks coach JoelQuenneville said.

Kane missed the final 12 games of theregular season after he hurt his left legduring a 4-0 victory over St. Louis onMarch 19. He scored in his first game backin the series opener against the Blues, butGame 4 was by far his best performancesince the injury.

“Every game feels like I’ve gotten a littlebit better,” he said. “Whether it’s timing orgetting used to playing in the playoffsagain, whatever it may be, just try to keep

getting better and better and use thesegames to my advantage.”

Kane carried the puck down the left sidein OT as teammates Ben Smith andBrandon Saad rushed toward the net, andbeat Ryan Miller with a well-placed wristshot for his 32nd career postseason goal.

Kane, who won the Conn Smythe Trophyas playoff MVP last season, also had a shotgo off the crossbar earlier in overtime.

“He’s a dangerous player,” Blues coachKen Hitchcock said. “He’s dangerous offthe rush. The most dangerous player in theleague.”

Andrew Shaw and Bryan Bickell alsoscored for defending Stanley Cup champi-on Chicago, which blew a 2-0 second-periodlead. Jonathan Toews had two assists andCorey Crawford made 30 saves.

Game 5 of the best-of-seven series isFriday night in St. Louis.

Vladimir Tarasenko scored two goals forthe Blues, and Miller finished with 30stops. Maxim Lapierre also scored his firstgoal of the series.

“We knew it was going to be a tough bat-tle and I think we’re right where we want

to be,” Lapierre said. “We won our twogames at home. We came were and playedgood hockey. Now we’ve got to focus,regroup and play good hockey in St. Louisagain.”

Tarasenko’s fourth goal of the playoffsmade it 3-2 at 12:26 of the third, but Bickelltipped Michal Rozsival’s slap shot pastMiller to tie it with 3:52 left in regulation.

The Blues were without captain DavidBackes again after he was scratched for thesecond straight game with an upper-bodyinjury. Backes hasn’t played since heabsorbed a big hit from Blackhawksdefenseman Brent Seabrook in the thirdperiod of St. Louis’ 4-3 overtime victorySaturday.

Seabrook served the second of his three-game suspension, giving SheldonBrookbank his second straight start withtop defenseman Duncan Keith.

Blues forward Brenden Morrow also wasscratched after Hitchcock said earlier inthe day that he would miss the rest of theseries. Morrow missed the final threegames of the regular season with a footinjury. He played in Games 1 and 3 against

the Blackhawks.Playing in front of another loud sellout

crowd, the Blackhawks used theirmaligned power play to grab the lead in thesecond.

St. Louis defenseman Alex Pietrangelohad his stick knocked away by Toews, whofired a shot that went off Shaw’s rightskate and popped up in the air. Shaw thenswiped it in with a backhand for his firstgoal of the postseason at 8:40.

It was the Blackhawks’ second power-play goal in 17 opportunities for the series.

Kane got an assist on Shaw’s score, andthen scored one of his own to make it 2-0 at16:09. Defenseman Johnny Oduya made abeautiful cross-ice pass to a streakingKane, who shot it over Miller’s glove for hissecond of the series.

“I just try to play off instincts and havethe feeling that you’re going to make thingshappen instead of waiting around,” Kanesaid. “I’ll try to keep that going.”

St. Louis appeared to be in big troublebefore Kane committed a delay of gamepenalty with 1:16 left in the second, givingthe Blues an opening.

Patrick Kane leads Blackhawks past Blues, 4-3 in OT

SHENZHEN, China (AP) — One yearafter his stunning debut at theMasters, Chinese 15-year-old golferGuan Tianlang is growing accustomedto being in the spotlight.

Guan looked composed and confi-dent as he shot a 1-under 71 in thefirst round of the China Open onThursday in front of a gallery thatgrew to more than 100 spectators mid-way through the front nine.

The teenager’s star has risen quick-ly in China since his breakthrough atAugusta National, where at the age of14, he became the youngest golfer tomake the cut at the Masters.

At this time last year, he had about25,000 followers on Sina weibo,China’s version of Twitter — not badfor a high school student. Now he’s upto 2,700,000, and counting.

At the China Open on Thursday,Guan, still an amateur, drew as manyonlookers as the No. 3-ranked playerin the world, Swede Henrik Stenson,playing two groups ahead of him.

Walking to the 5th tee, several youngwomen raced ahead of him on thepath and turned quickly to snap pho-tos with their camera phones as hestrolled by. A nicely hit approach shotwas greeted with calls of ‘Nice shot’in Mandarin on the 5th hole; a near-miss on a birdie putt minutes laterelicited a disbelieving groan from thecrowd.

Through it all, Guan appearedunfazed by the attention, unlike hisfar more experienced playing partner,Morten Orum Madsen of Denmark,who barked at the crowd at one pointfor taking photos during his swing.

SCOREBOARD |

HOUSTON (AP) — LaMarcus Aldridge’sson JJ, who turned 5 on Wednesday, textedhim after the Portland Trail Blazers’ play-off win and told him he looked like Spider-Man on one of his dunks.

Aldridge continued his dominanceagainst the Rockets, scoring 43 points to liftthe Trail Blazers to a 112-105 victory and a2-0 lead in the first-round playoff series.

Aldridge has made the most of the returnto his home state and put the Trail Blazersin control heading home for Game 3 in

Portland on Friday. The former Universityof Texas star who grew up in Dallaslaughed heartily and said ‘maybe’ whenasked if he’d rather stay in the Lone Starstate after the way he’s played in the firsttwo games.

He’s helped the Trail Blazers win tworoad games to start a playoff series for justthe second time in franchise history andthe first since they took the first twoagainst the Lakers in the 1977 WesternConference Finals.

Damian Lillard made six free throwsdown the stretch to help out in the win. Butthe guard gave all the credit for the win toAldridge.

“What can they do to stop him? He wasgreat once again, just like Game 1,” Lillardsaid. “When a lot of guys couldn’t getgoing and couldn’t hit shots, he just car-ried us. He played like an MVP again.”

The Rockets spent the last two days ofpractice focused on how to slow Aldridgedown, but nothing they did seemed to faze

the 6-foot-11 player.“We tried changing it up tonight,”

Houston coach Kevin McHale said.“Tonight, he was picking and popping andmoving and we were having trouble run-ning people at him. We were trying to getthe ball out of his hands as much as wecould.”

Aldridge credited coach Terry Stotts formoving him around early in the game tohelp evade Houston’s double-teams.

James Harden knocked down a 3-pointer.

LaMarcus Aldridge’s 43 lifts Blazers over Rockets 112-105

DEAR ABBYPauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips

When Rosemary Butlerbelted out the chorus onJackson Browne's version of"Stay (Just a Little BitLonger)" almost four decadesago, a lot of 50- to 60-year-oldsapparently decided to takethat advice. There are nowover 53,000 centenarians inthe U.S. -- a 66 percentincrease in 30 years!

Advances in chronic dis-ease treatment and preven-tion are extending your lifes-pan, and increasing the num-ber of medications you take:75 percent of you, 65 or older,take drugs for at least twochronic disorders; almost athird of you take five or moremedications; you also take 35percent of all over-the-counter drugs. No wonderdrug interactions are anincreasing problem.

A recent study found thatcombining prescription medsfor high blood pressure(HBP) and osteoarthritis isthe most common cause of arisky drug interaction. If youadd a cox-2 inhibitor for painon top of a beta blocker forHBP, the cox-2 inhibitorblocks the beta blocker; yourblood pressure stays too high.Other combos of prescriptionand/or OTC meds cause justas much trouble.

To minimize drug interac-

tions:1. Write down each pre-

scription, non-prescriptionmed and supplement youtake.

2. Schedule time with yourpharmacist to review yourlist, checking for drug inter-actions; take notes.

3. Take your list and notesto your primary care physi-cian. Create a wellness planthat includes stress manage-ment, walking and avoidingthe Five Food Felons. Thiswill reduce your need forchronic-disease meds.Medicare and most insurancecompanies cover this visitannually without any copay.

DEAR ABBY: My 23-year-old son, "Wayne," who is sin-gle, has a 3-year-old son. Wedidn't learn about the childuntil he was more than ayear old, when Wayne wasasked to take a paternity test.Luckily, we have been able toform a good relationshipwith our grandson's motherand see him often. However,our son has shown no inter-

est. He pays child support,but has little interaction.

Wayne is an only child. Ilove him, but I never wantedanother one. I was never com-fortable around or interestedin young children except formy own son. Could he havegotten this from me?

Friends and family havecommented on Wayne's lackof interest in his son, and I'mtired of making excuses ortelling people to mind theirown business. Wayne says hefeels resentment and doesn'twant to be around this child.I have tried to explain thathe'll regret it in years tocome, but he won't listen.

My husband is appalledthat our son would act thisway, but he seems to forgetthat I was the one who dideverything with Wayne. I didthe Boy Scouts, movies, hors-es, trips, etc. He did almostnothing with Wayne and his

friends. At this point, I don'tknow what to do and wouldlike some advice. -- MOM INILLINOIS

DEAR MOM: Your son isdisplacing his anger at him-self onto his son. He shouldhave used birth control andhe knows it. It's not fair, butWayne does not appear to bethe most mature of 23-year-olds.

Rather than blame yourselffor the fact that he wants noinvolvement, consider thatchildren usually model them-selves after their same-gen-der parent. Because your hus-band was so uninvolved withWayne, it is possible thatWayne has no idea of what afather's role ought to be. Aparenting class could fix this-- if your son is willing totake one.

Until then, continue to bethe supportive and lovinggrandparents your grandsonneeds because, aside from hismother, it appears you're allthe backup the little boy has.

DEAR ABBY: I come from atroubled family. I am justnow realizing that there ismore to life than postingbond for family members andgetting people out of jail at 3a.m. I got my GED and start-ed college this year. AlthoughI try to keep them at bay, theycall me with one family cri-sis or another, and it's put-ting stress on everyonearound me.

I'd love to have a positiverelationship with my family,but drama seems to followthem everywhere. Should Ijust let them go and move onwith my life, or continuedoing the same as always?Must I drop everything I'mdoing to jump and run everytime the phone rings? -- FAM-ILY DRAMA IN TEXAS

DEAR FAMILY DRAMA:Every time you come to therescue, you further enableyour relatives to do whateverit is that has gotten them inhot water. That you havemanaged to separate yourselfto the extent you have, andachieve to the level you havereached, is admirable. But ifyou're going to continue toaccomplish your goals, youcannot allow your family todistract you from your stud-ies. Set limits. Let them knowwhen you can't be disturbedand turn your phone off.They'll survive and you'llthrive.

STATESVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Troubled NASCAR teamSwan Racing has found a home for driver Cole Whitt,while keeping Parker Kligerman under contract.

The two-car team faced an uncertain future because ofdifficulty securing corporate sponsorship. Swan Racingminority owner Anthony Marlowe merged his ownershipof the No. 26 team in BK Racing. Whitt will remain behindthe wheel of the 26 in the Sprint Cup series.

The No. 30 team was sold Wednesday to John Cohen ofXxxTreme Motorsports. The team hired veteran driver J.J.Yeley and named Stephen Lane crew chief. The No. 30team will be joined by several other former Swan Racingcrew members.

Swan Racing will continue to look for options for Kliger-man that will keep the rookie driver on the track.

“I am very relieved to know that the Nos. 26 and 30 teamswill be in good hands and will continue to compete the re-mainder of the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season,”Swan Racing owner Brandon Davis said. “Most impor-tantly, most of the team members have the opportunity tocontinue their employment in the sport and to support

their families. This was critically important to me.”Davis, the CEO of independent oil and gas company

Swan Energy, bought the organization in 2012. A formerstart-and-park team, he set a goal of racing in every event.Then he pumped the organization with needed cash whenhe signed former NFL linebacker Bill Romanowski as aninvestor and rapper 50 Cent used his SMS Audio line topartner with the team. Marlowe was added this season as aminority owner.

“I’m grateful for the opportunity Anthony Marlowe isgiving me to continue the NASCAR Sprint Cup season,”Whitt said. “I want to thank Brandon Davis and everyoneat Swan Racing for the opportunity they gave me to racefor the team.”

Swan Racing made headlines at this year’s Daytona 500when 50 Cent brought his headphones and audio line intoNASCAR. He had branding for his SMS Audio line on bothKligerman and Whitt’s cars for the Daytona 500. The logoswere on Kligerman and Whitt’s uniforms, and the driverswere featured on Swan-branded SMS Audio headphones.

However, Kligerman’s car went airborne and landed on

its roof in his first full Daytona 500 practice and his lucknever really improved. He’s finished 40th or worse in fiveof his eight starts. Whitt is 33rd in the standings andKligerman is 38th.

“Whether I continue to race with Brandon and Swan Rac-ing or end up with another team, I will always give it myall on and off track to be the best I can be,” Kligerman said.

Swan Racing sells 2 cars, keeps Kligerman in fold

‘I’m grateful for the opportunity Anthony

Marlowe is giving me to continue the NASCAR Sprint

Cup season. I want to thank Brandon Davis and

everyone at Swan Racing for the opportunity they gave

me to race for the team.’

BIRTHDAY GAL: ActressMelonie Diaz was born inNew York City today in1984. This birthday gal isknown for her work in suchIndy films as "Fruitvale Sta-tion," "A Guide to Recogniz-ing Your Saints" and "Lordsof Dogtown." She played arecurring role on the series"Nip-Tuck" and has ap-peared on episodes of "Per-son of Interest," "CSI:Miami" and "Rizzoli andIsles."

ARIES (March 21-April19): If someone tries to drawyou into their drama, re-peat to yourself, "It's not mycircus." Focus on develop-ing your own goals and ob-jectives rather than wastingtime persuading others tochange their opinions.

TAURUS (April 20-May

20): Knowledge may bepower, but you don't need toknow it all. You can find outwho to ask for honest ap-praisals or who to contactfor expert advice. You havethe advantage over peoplewho merely trust to luck.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):Buy low and sell high. Youcan successfully turn aprofit or begin a project thatdepends upon a dependableand accurate vision of thefuture. Opposition to yourplans will fall away onceyou explain your ideas.

CANCER (June 21-July22): Speak your mind andno one will mind. Some-times you must say thosethree little words and letsomeone know exactly howyou feel. Heart-to-heart dis-cussions can lead to greater

understanding and har-mony.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):Find ways to enjoy the reju-venating effects of stress-free living. You can take awalk, dive into the pool atthe Y, or curl up with a goodbook. Quiet, peaceful placesand soothing people suityour mood best.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):Restore your childhoodsense of wonder. You canwish upon a falling stareven if someone else mightdisparagingly remind youthat it's just space debris.Don't be too embarrassed toshare your joys and loves.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Ahand offered in friendshipis worth two in the bush.Don't let business or careerinterfere with your rela-

tionships. Some money-making ideas that look goodon paper may not hold upunder careful scrutiny.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.21): To feel rich, just countall the things that make youhappy and that money can'tbuy. You might find it bene-ficial to share inspirationalaffirmations and widely ac-cepted wisdom. Accentuatethe positive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your reputationmight hinge on how reli-ably you handle a positionof trust. There's somethingof importance you must asksomeone or information torelay. Firm up loose endsthrough diligent follow up.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19): Treat other people withrespect even if they've said

or done something to offendyou. Give someone the ben-efit of the doubt. A sincerepledge or promise might laya firm foundation for amore prosperous future.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18): Meet and greet someonenew or true. This is a goodday to be introduced to po-tential customers or make afavorable impression on thegeneral public. Pick up thephone and make an impor-tant call or appointment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March20): Focus on the best andhighest. You might wishyou could be a trendsetter,but when spending yourown money you'll find thatthings that demonstratefine taste and discrimina-tion will please you longer.

IF APRIL 25 IS YOUR

BIRTHDAY: Sometime dur-ing the next2-4 weeks mightbe a good time for a glam-orous vacation, but youmay be led astray by yourown wishful thinking or de-luded where a certain some-one is concerned. Late Maythrough early June is an ex-cellent time to make shrewdbusiness or financial deci-sions and expect success. Aprotective angel watchesover everything you do inAugust and September. Apassing opportunity mightbe a blessing in disguise, ora chance meeting could leadto a permanent improve-ment in your life. Yourstreet smarts and ability tomake sound financial deci-sions are enhanced in thetime period close to theNew Year.

ANOLDTHEMEMISSEDBYMANY

Franklin Delano Roo-sevelt said, "Repetitiondoes not transform a lieinto a truth"

But one does hope thatrepetition transforms atruth that is sometimesoverlooked into a truththat is remembered. Asan example, how do thedefenders defeat fourhearts in this deal afterWest leads the spadeace?

The bidding is instruc-tive. Over West's text-book takeout double,North's redouble indi-cates at least 10 high-card points and fewerthan four-card heartsupport. (Note that inthe United States, a two-diamond response is typ-ically treated as naturaland nonforcing, showing

a long suit in a weakhand. With a good handthat isn't suitable for aforcing one-level re-sponse, responder muststart with redouble.)After this redouble, thesimplest rule is that ei-ther the opening pairbuys the contract or theintervening side plays insomething doubledfor penalty.

Under West's spadeace, East drops histhree, the lowest carddenying both thespade queen and adoubleton. West con-tinues with the spadequeen. Now Eastshould play his eight,starting a high-lowwith his remainingdoubleton. Then Westcashes the spadeking. But what shouldhe do at trick four?

West has 14 high-card points anddummy has 13. Thatleaves 13 for East andSouth. The declarermust have the dia-mond ace, club ace

and club king. It ishighly unlikely that thedefenders can gain aminor-suit trick. And ifso, the fourth defensivetrick will have to comefrom trumps.

West should lead hislast spade. This pro-motes East's heart jackto the setting trick.

Hints from Heloise Heloise

Time for LawnCare

Dear Readers:Spring is here,and many home-owners are be-ginning to getoutside to startworking on the

LAWN. Here are some hints toget the beautiful lawn you hopeto have:

* If you didn't aerate the lawnin the fall, do so now. Removeall dead leaves and grass whilepulling out any weeds. Look fortwigs and other debris thatmay have accumulated duringthe winter.

* Use a mulching lawn mowerif you can, and mow only 1/3 offthe top of the grass at a time.Don't scalp the yard!

* When you do water thelawn, the best time is in themorning. Of course, where youlive and what the climate iswill determine how often towater.

-- Heloise P.S.: Here in San Antonio,

where I live, we are under se-vere water restrictions becauseof the horrible drought. So forus, not having a "green" lawn is

not that big of a deal.TANGLE OF CORDSDear Heloise: If other house-

holds suffer, as ours does, fromthe accumulation of tiny,unidentified electrical charg-ers, and if they have a way ofmassing together in a jumble oftangled cords, this tip may behelpful. Use a white-ink felt-tippen, and as soon as a devicecomes into the house, write di-rectly on its black plasticpower supply what device it be-longs to. Then put each one in asmall zip plastic bag. It doesn'thurt to label each bag, too.From then on, you will knowwhat each does, and the tangleof cords should be vanquished.-- B.A.F. in San Antonio

STAYING ON BUDGETDear Heloise: Grocery shop-

ping is a major part of my fam-ily's budget. And as othermothers know, grocery shop-ping with kids is hard. One wayI try to cut down on expenses isto go grocery shopping withoutthe kids, if I can. I love them,but boy, they can put things inthe basket that I'm not evenaware of! -- A Reader in Penn-sylvania

Dear Reader: Isn't it amazing

how many "goodies" are at eyelevel for little ones? -- Heloise

SUMMER STROLLINGDear Heloise: I love to do

things outside with my son: thezoo, playgrounds, walks, etc.During the summer, it can getreally hot. I bought a cheap,clip-on, battery-operated fan. Isimply clip it onto his stroller,and he gets a nice, coolingbreeze. Or if we have a picnic,we can unclip it from thestroller and prop it up to blowon us while we eat. -- Dana inNew Mexico

SHOWER CAP OVER SEATDear Heloise: I ride a bike in-

stead of driving places. I alwayscarry a shower cap with me,and I use it to cover the seat ofmy bicycle when I am not rid-ing. This way, I don't have toworry about the seat beingdirty or wet when I sit on it. -- AReader in New York

Send a money-saving or time-saving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it toHeloise(at)Heloise.com. I can'tanswer your letter personallybut will use the best hints re-ceived in my column.

They are not here,which is good andbad.

Wild hogs — Sus scrofa:swine, pig, boar — areanimals that run in herdscalled sounders, andwhen it is in a pack ofboars it is a singular.They are creatures famedin Egyptian, Greek,Celtic, Norse, Hindu andother mythologies.Between native stock,

transplants, animals gone feral, and cross-breeds of wild and domestic strains, theyare the most widespread species of biggame in the world, found on every conti-nent on earth except Antarctica — I amplanning a boar hunt for next year inTunisia.

The boar’s origins on this continent arethought to date back to the second Floridaexpedition of the Spanish explorer, JuanPonce de León, on which he brought allmanner of domestic animals “useful in theservice of mankind,” in the hopes offounding a self-sustaining settlement — hehad apparently given up his search for theFountain of Youth by that time. The uni-versally adaptable swine Ponce de Leónintroduced went feral and never lookedback.

Then in 1912, a private game preserve inNorth Carolina was stocked with pureEuropean wild boar, purchased through abroker in Berlin who claimed they werefrom the Ural Mountains in Russia.Legend has it that William RandolphHearst brought the first true Russian boarto California, but it was the original ownerof the North Carolina herd who introducedthem to another property of his in the

Carmel Valley, in the process of capturingthe dozen animals for transplant, hishunters loosing four hounds, and one assis-tant being badly wounded. From there, theboar on both sides of the country escapedinto the wild to hybridize with feral stock.

The jape has it that a sow had a litter of12 piglets and 13 survived; and the wild pigis the most prolific large mammal on earth.It’s estimated that 37 states, and counting,have breeding populations, with betweenfive and six million high-destructive pigsfound across the United States fromHawai’i to Maine, Wisconsin to Florida. InCalifornia, Florida and Texas, feral pigshave grown into the second-most popularbig-game after deer. The closest wild hogsto us are in Nebraska, but are unlikely tomake their way up the North Platte intothe state. To hunt wild boar, then, we haveto head out of state, which can be a veryrewarding trip.

Wild boar is a prized meat in Europe,where it fetches greater prices than domes-tic pork. The master French chef Escoffierdid warn about eating any boar over a yearold (there’s something unappetizinglycalled “boar taint”), but otherwise foundthat wild pig was able to “supply a verypassable relevé” or stew, and even olderones make good sausage. Many years agoback in California, I organized a wild-pigroast that involved a hundred-pound boar,six-foot barbecue, 10 pounds of garliccloves, salt, several 40-pound bags ofmesquite charcoal, and 10-hours of handturning a carcass on a spit until the hipand shoulder bones broke through theglazed bronzed crackling skin, creatingsomething more than passably fine fare. Itwas all that one needed to explain a pas-sion for pig hunting.

The three states mentioned above,California, Texas and Florida, are the toppicks for finding boar; but there is alsoHawai’i for a great winter vacation, or anyof the Southern states. The huntingoptions for wild boar are extensive. At themost extreme, a hunter can pursue them inTexas from helicopters or at night withnight-vision optics and suppressors. In

California, hogs are hunted in the coastalmountains, mostly, the same way deer are,either by still-hunting or glassing and spot-ting from the ridges. Hound hunting, oftenwith eerily blue-eyed Catahoula hounds, ispopular in many locales (in California,where there is a lack of red fox, hunters intheir traditional jackets and breeches, givechase on horseback to wild pigs with theirfoxhounds).

In Mississippi, back when, I joined a hoghunt with Catahoulas that ended with uscatching a young boar and turning himinto a barrow for future reference. Afterthe impromptu surgery, the hunter pinningthe boar to the ground jumped off it andeveryone, except frozen me, shimmied upslender trees, while the ex-boar weighed itsoptions before running off.

The tusks of a boar are no joke (huntersonce believed they were hot enough tosinge hair); and if charged, a hunter needsto turn his hip toward the pig to shield his

vulnerable femoral artery on the inside ofhis leg. For a rifle, any reasonable deer cal-iber is more than enough, and manyhunters go after hogs with handguns, bowsand muzzleloaders.

There is something of a mythology sur-rounding the layer of keratin that boarscarry under the hide over their shoulders,creating a supposedly impenetrable shield(the rancher who brought pure boar toCalifornia reported the killing of one hogmeasuring nine-feet from nose to tail, with11 old bullets imbedded in the three-inch-thick skin of its neck). It’s tough, but nottoo tough for modern loads and bullets.

Barring someone illegally releasing wildboar in the state under the cover of dark-ness, we will be heading across country forour boar hunting, which remains a tripworth making.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (AP) — Take to the air on aflight path leading from Grand Junction toward Gateway,and one thing becomes apparent.

Humans are mostly just visitors to the landscape thatlies below.

“This is some wild country back here,” Bruce Gordon,president and executive director of the Aspen-basedEcoFlight conservation group, said while piloting a recentoverflight of land primarily administered by the Bureau ofLand Management.

Such lands are drawing attention in the agency’s ongo-ing revision of its resource management plan.

The agency’s preferred alternative in its draft plan iden-tifies 11 proposed “wildlife emphasis areas” where theagency seeks to put a priority on habitat protection across170,500 total acres. The goal is to protect animals includingsage grouse, cutthroat trout, pronghorn, mule deer, elk,bighorn sheep, prairie dogs and kit fox.

No such areas exist under the existing managementplan, although the agency has been identifying and pro-tecting wildlife in the past in certain areas through theimposition of stipulations on activities, said BLMspokesman David Boyd. Lands such as ones it has desig-nated as areas of critical environmental concern, or ismanaging to protect wilderness characteristics, also mayhave important protected habitat.

The concept of specifically identifying areas for wildlifeprotection is gaining steam within the region, and Boydsaid it helps land managers and the public focus on habitatwhere the agency is proposing protective measures, andsee how those proposed protections vary by alternatives

being considered.These are not formal designations, and they have been

described in different ways in different plans. The 1999plan for what’s now the Colorado River Valley Field Office,headquartered in Silt, identified wildlife seclusion areas.The BLM Kremmling Field Office’s final management planproposal refers to wildlife core areas.

David Ludlam, executive director of the West SlopeColorado Oil and Gas Association, said that however theBLM chooses to refer to areas where it wants to protecthabitat in its plans, the industry is less concerned aboutthe semantics and more concerned about the specific rulesthat might be attached.

He said he thinks that by and large, energy companieshave shown through various big-game studies they havebeen involved in that their work to protect sage grouse andothers means that they have an interest in protectingwildlife. Where they would be concerned is when stipula-tions are subjective, anecdotal, not based on science, andcost-prohibitive, he said.

The BLM has said its authority is based on a 2008Interior Board of Land Appeals ruling in a Wyoming caseinvolving post-lease restrictions including increasedbuffer zones to protect greater sage-grouse.

The BLM is relying on the authority in its proposedWhite River Field Office plan because it would impose sea-sonal timing limits on surface disturbances on all lands,including leased acreage not already subject to those lim-its. That would set up the ability to waive the timing limitswhen companies agree to restrictions on how muchacreage they disturb at a given time.
