Skyway to erect T-Mobile tower near Mydland Road

SHERIDAN — A cell tower will soon grace the views northwest of Mydland Road, providing better T-Mobile cov-erage for residents in the area.

Although T-Mobile’s 4G LTE coverage map on its web-site shows full cell coverage through a partner provider, Skyway Towers, the owners of the cell tower, said in its application, “T-Mobile is not an option for the communi-ty. Sheridan has a need for wireless integration (that) has become a necessity for safety and communication as more and more people abandon land

lines.”The application said

four existing Federal Communications Commission-registered towers within a three-mile radius of the pro-posed tower do not meet the T-Mobile coverage require-ments.

Liz Walker, representing Skyway, said because Skyway is in the business of leasing towers to several carriers, others could potentially lease space on the tower as well.

“You can expect that this is going to be infrastructure for other carriers, as well,” Walker said.

Doing more

with less UW down

roughly 300 staff after cutsLARAMIE (AP) — Take

a tour of University of Wyoming’s Service Building with Executive Director of UW Operations John Davis and you will hear a common refrain as he introduces the electricians, welders, carpen-ters, painters and others who keep UW running:

“We’re lucky to have them.”Coming off a year of severe

budget cuts — handed down by the State Legislature in the face of declining extraction tax revenues — UW is being staffed by fewer people, who are subsequently asked to do more.

Starting in summer 2016 and continuing until May, the university lost roughly 370 people through vacancy elimi-nations, separation incentives and layoffs, including approx-imately 300 staff members. Exactly 43 faculty members took separation incentive packages, though more left at the end of the academic year or before the start of the fall 2017 semester.

Operations — previously known as the Physical Plant — absorbed a number of other departments around campus as part of a reorganization implemented to cut costs.

“So, if you look at those individual departments ver-sus one department now, there’s in the neighborhood of 30 positions that are no longer here,” Davis said. “But there are some efficiencies gained in combining the depart-ments, so it wasn’t like some-one cut us from 30 positions. It’s the positions that were open at the time that were eliminated.”

But positions lost, even without layoffs, are challeng-ing to work around, he added.

“We like to think we’re working smarter, but the fact of the matter is we’re not able to do everything we were able to do before,” Davis said.

The situation is similar across campus, Staff Senate President Rachel Stevens told the Laramie Boomerang.

“What Staff Senate hears is that in many situations, people are being asked to pick up more of the workload in departments where they have lost staffing positions,” she said. “And we get reports that people feel like they can’t use their vacation leave.”

With some 300 staff posi-tions cut — including the 37 staff laid off in May during the final round of budget reductions — many of the remaining employees are overwhelmed, Stevens said.

“If they’re out for a day, they come back and they’re so far behind, they feel very stressed about getting caught up,” she said.

TOWER : Will extend 150 feet in the air, self-supportedFROM 1

The 50-by-50-foot lease area is zoned urban res-idential, so the Ebzery Limited Family Partnership needed first to apply for a conditional use permit. Communication towers are not identified as permitted in the urban residential district, hence the applica-tion for the conditional use

permit, Sheridan County planner Mark Reid wrote in the planning and regulatory framework documentation.

Reid said the airport man-ager in Sheridan weighed in and reported no issues with the 150-foot tower with the stipulation that it include appropriate light-ing required by the Federal Aviation Administration. The Sheridan County

Planning Commission voted unanimously in support of the tower with requirements for proper lighting and capabilities for those lights to dim or turn off at certain times of the day.

The tower itself will extend 150 feet in the air, self-sup-ported, with up to four sepa-rate antenna groups between 100 and 146 feet above grade and will include a 30-by-45-

by-6 feet chain link fenced area around the tower for carrier ground equipment.

The Ebzery Limited Family Partnership applied for a building permit even before the conditional use permit passed through the Sheridan County Commission. Walker noted a statistic from the National Center for Health Statistics that identified 50.5 percent of adults using only wireless service in their homes in the latter half of 2016. Walker said the need for a cell tower goes beyond convenience and into needed infrastruc-ture because of the safety issues with not having cov-erage.

Walker said the tower is an unmanned site and access will be limited follow-ing construction.

“This is future, for-ward-looking infrastructure for communication ser-vices,” Walker said.

One person spoke against the tower during the public comment before the com-missioners unanimously approved the conditional use permit.

First lady wishes to

spend holiday on deserted

islandWASHINGTON (AP) — If

she could spend the holi-days anywhere in the world, Melania Trump says she’d take her family to a deserted, tropical island.

The first lady revealed her wish Thursday during a Christmastime visit with patients and staff at Children’s National hospital in the nation’s capital as she continued a holiday tradition begun more than 60 years ago by first lady Bess Truman.

After touring the neuro-science center and meeting privately with some patients, Mrs. Trump was escorted by Santa Claus to the atrium where she took a seat in front of a large Christmas tree and fielded a handful of questions from children and patients.

Ten-year-old Andy asked the first lady where she would spend the holidays if she could go anywhere in the world. Her answer prompted laughter.

“I would spend my holidays on a deserted island, tropical island with my family,” she said.

Her favorite Christmas song is “O Holy Night.” Her favorite family Christmas tradition is eating dinner on Christmas Eve before they attend midnight Mass or worship services on Christmas Day, followed by another family dinner. “On the 25th, Santa comes. We open the presents and spend time together.”

“Healthy food” is her favorite thing to eat for Christmas dinner. “You feel very good after. Not too much eating,” she said. “The most important part is to spend time with the family.”

So what does she want from Santa for Christmas?

“I asked Santa for Christmas, uh, peace on the world, health, love and kind-ness,” the first lady said.

Before greeting audience members and departing, Mrs. Trump read “The Polar Express,” a story about a doubting boy who hops a train ride to the North Pole.

She later tweeted about the “fun questions from the kids @childrenshealth.”

It was not Mrs. Trump’s first visit to Children National. She visited earlier in the year to help prepare a “healing garden” for patients that she helped ded-icate on a follow-up visit.

House ethics panel: Nunes didn’t leak classified informationWASHINGTON (AP)

— The House Ethics Committee on Thursday cleared the chairman of the House intelligence commit-tee on a complaint that he may have leaked classified information, paving the way for Rep. Devin Nunes to again lead his panel’s probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

The Ethics Committee said in a brief statement that it determined Nunes, a California Republican, did not release classified material while talking about information he had received on a clandestine trip to the White House in April. Nunes had stepped aside from the Russia probe pend-ing the ethics investigation and amid criticism that he was too close to the White

House.If Nunes were to return to

the investigation, it would put a close ally of President Donald Trump at the head of one of the congressional investigations into whether Russia coordinated with his campaign.

Nunes was part of Trump’s transition team after the election and had questioned suggestions of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Texas Rep. Mike Conaway has led the probe in Nunes’ absence.

Citing intelligence experts, the Ethics Committee said it determined that Nunes did not publicly reveal clas-sified information when he discussed secret documents he reviewed on the White House grounds earlier this

year. When the committee opened its probe of Nunes in April, Nunes said he would step aside tempo-rarily, pending the ethics review. He has remained close to the investigation, though, retaining access to documents and subpoena power as the chairman of the intelligence panel.

Nunes said in a statement Thursday night he was angry the review sidelined him for eight months and said it was prompted by partisan criticism. He also said he wanted the panel to release its transcripts of its interviews with him.

Two watchdog groups, Democracy 21 and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, had requested the inquiry into whether Nunes disclosed classified information he learned from intelligence reports. At a news confer-ence in March after the trip to the White House, Nunes had said that communi-cations involving Trump

associates had been swept up by U.S. spy agencies and, he suggested, mishan-dled by the Obama admin-istration.

He said then that he had met with a secret source at the White House to review material and then briefed the president.

Watchdog groups said Nunes had apparently vio-lated House rules by public-ly disclosing the existence of a foreign surveillance warrant.

Nunes did not say in Thursday’s statement if he would retake control of the House Russia investigation. A Nunes spokesman did not immediately return a request for comment on that Thursday evening.

The announcement comes as the House panel has stepped up its pace of inter-views in the probe, meeting with dozens of important witnesses as they eye a fin-ish next year.

On Wednesday the com-mittee interviewed Donald

Trump Jr., Trump’s oldest son, about a 2016 meeting he and other campaign offi-cials held with Russians, among other issues. On Thursday, one person familiar with the investiga-tion said House investiga-tors asked Trump Jr. about a series of emails between some participants at the meeting after it occurred. The source spoke on con-dition of anonymity to dis-cuss private deliberations.

CNN reported that Rob Goldstone, a publicist representing a Moscow-based family who had partnered with the Trump Organization on the 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Russia, wrote a follow-up email to Trump social media director and confi-dant Dan Scavino following the June 2016 meeting. CNN reported that none of the newly disclosed emails were sent directly to Trump Jr., who has said there was no follow-up to the meeting.

UW : Permanent changesFROM 1

“Quite honestly, in some departments, there has to be a reduction in services that are offered, whether that is student support or faculty support. You just can’t do the same amount of work with so many fewer people.”

UW President Laurie Nichols said many staff like-ly felt this way because so many units on campus expe-rienced reorganizations or alterations.

“(Unit leaders) had to sit down and look at what they had for staffing and then make some determinations about perhaps rewriting job descriptions and moving some job responsibilities around, or even eliminating things, saying we can’t do this anymore,” Nichols said.

Stevens added administra-tive staff are generally hit harder than academic staff, which makes operating the institution more difficult.

“Those (are) positions you’re constantly losing every time there’s budget cuts and you don’t tend to get them back when the bud-get comes back,” she said. “So, over time, you’re trying to maintain the campus with a smaller and smaller per-sonnel budget.”

Stevens said UW employed around 1,400 staff members before the budget cuts. The number is now around 1,100.

Nichols said there has been some confusion sur-rounding these eliminated positions. While many are waiting for UW to rebuild its staff base, Nichols said the fact is these positions will not be refilled.

“Those positions aren’t coming back,” she said. “They’re gone because we had to decrease our budget by roughly $45 million.”

Because so many of the cuts came by way of elimi-nated vacancies, the depart-ments in the worst situation were those which happened to be down a large number of people when the hiring freeze started in 2015.

“Overall, we’re still meet-ing the needs of the univer-sity,” Davis said. “But the custodial ones hurt the most because we just can’t clean like we used to clean — because of the staffing reduc-tions — and we’re working

on that.”An external study of UW’s

custodial services reported the university would need to invest approximately $660,000 — including hiring roughly 20 more staff mem-bers — to reach an adequate level of cleanliness.

“The campus is generally clean and healthy and does not have a cleaning crisis,” the report states. “However, overall campus interior appearance, general cleanli-ness and conditions of inte-rior surfaces are trending toward an unsustainable state.”

The report, compiled by Hunter Consulting and Training, was delivered to the Board of Trustees during its November meeting.

UW president Laurie Nichols said at the meeting she appreciated the report. She added UW’s path for-ward should include more than increasing the number of staff members.

“We would like to address this systemically and at the very foundation, so we can have a really good custodial and cleaning service on this campus,” Nichols said. “So, I would just caution us not to try to do a knee-jerk reac-tion to this, but allow our professionals and our team to come back with their comprehensive recommen-dations, which we will take very seriously.”

Davis is currently prepar-ing a plan for improving custodial services. The plan, which Davis said will attempt to follow the guide-lines of the report, must be approved by Nichols, then the board, before the hiring of new custodial positions can begin.

Elsewhere, the board has approved the hiring of approximately 20 full-time academic advisers as part of an advising system overhaul that will essentially triple the number of advisers employed by UW.

Paid for by a bump in stu-dent fees, the new system is scheduled to be in place by fall 2018.

“Unless you see more staff positions that are being funded with alternate sourc-es of revenue, like program fees, I would not expect those positions to come back anytime soon,” Stevens said.

US foresaw a costly victory in war with

NKorea in 1994WASHINGTON (AP) — In a nuclear standoff with

North Korea more than two decades ago — long before the reclusive government had atomic weapons that could threaten America — U.S. officials planned for war.

Declassified documents published Friday show the United States believed its military and South Korea’s forces would “undoubtedly win” a conflict on the divided Korean Peninsula, with the understanding it would cost many casualties.

The Pentagon estimated at the time that if war broke with Korea, some 52,000 American service members would be killed or wounded in the first three months. South Korean military casualties would total 490,000 in that time. And the number of North Korean and civilian lives claimed would be enormous, according to “The Two Koreas” by Don Oberdorfer, a definitive modern history of Korean Peninsula.

Today, with North Korea almost able to directly threaten the U.S. mainland with nuclear strikes, the possibility of conflict looms as it had in 1994. President Donald Trump has vowed to stop the North Koreans from reaching such capability.

Twenty-three years ago, the stakes were different.At that time, President Bill Clinton’s administra-

tion considered a cruise missile strike on a North Korean nuclear complex after it began defueling a reactor that could provide fissile material for bombs for the first time. Former President Jimmy Carter headed off a conflict, meeting with founding North Korean leader Kim Il Sung and helping seal an aid-for-disarmament agreement. The pact endured for nearly a decade, despite frequent disputes and periodic flare-ups on the peninsula.

“We had taken a very strong position that we would not permit North Korea to make a nuclear bomb,” William Perry, who was defense secretary during the crisis, said this week. “We have said that many times since then, but then we really meant it.”

A declassified transcript published by the National Security Archive at George Washington University records Perry’s discussion on the standoff with South Korea’s president in 1998.

Wyoming senator on key Congress tax bill committeeCHEYENNE (AP) — Wyoming U.S.

Sen. Mike Enzi has been appointed to the conference committee that will negotiate a final tax reform bill in Congress. The Republican is chair-man of the Senate Budget Committee and a senior member of the Finance

Committee. The House and Senate have each passed their own respective versions of the proposed tax bill, and the conference committee will work to reconcile the two.

Enzi says he looks forward to help-ing finalize a bill that he says will

lower taxes for many Americans, grow the economy, create more jobs and modernize the federal tax code.

Congressional leaders have said they would like to have tax reform legisla-tion signed into law before the end of the year.

TIME IS SHORTI

n the liturgy of the church, we are at the end of human time. That’s the yearly theme. As Scripture reminds us, every living being is challenged by

the limits of time.We concluded the church year with

the hopeful proclamation for the reign of Christ to govern the world with

justice, and then launched into the Advent season of hopeful expectancy for the coming of Christ. The language of liturgy articulates our hope: Christ has come. Christ is come. Christ will come again.

If we were gam-bling people, we could righteously claim: Two out of three! Not bad. The

Biblical record tells the story Christ has come. Your personal faith con-firms that Christ is come, the risen Lord is present in your daily life. But what about the affirmation Christ will come again?

Since the days of the early church, Christians have been waiting and

preparing for the coming of Christ — again. The Advent season reminds us to be alert, keep awake, be ready, get prepared. Christ is coming again to the earth. The question then is: What do you do with the delay? The early church had to come to terms with a delay in Christ’s return. So do we.

From the human point of view, it is a question about what do you do with your time. What do you do with the time allotted you between now and then? There are two dominate thoughts about this waiting period. One: Christ will come again and bless you and the world with eternal love. Two: You will die and Christ will meet you in the next life and usher you into the strong arms of God. Both possibili-ties inspire our religious imagination.

Biblical scholars refer to the gospel of Matthew, chapters 24-25, as the lit-tle apocalypse. Here, Jesus tells three parables about using your time in the delay of Christ’s return. In the parable of the ten bridesmaids — five wise; five foolish — the foolish fail to fill their lamps with oil. In the parable of the talents, the fearful slave buried his treasure. In the parable of the sheep and goats, both sheep and goats fail to recognize Jesus in the lives of suffer-

ing people.Yet, the goats are identified as

unwilling to extend a helping hand to a suffering world. The point being: Fill your life with the oil of wisdom. Invest your life in the good purposes of the Master. Offer a helping hand to relieve a suffering world. Be savvy smart in this world.

In our culture, the dominate theme has to do with warnings about safety. Wear your seat belt. Ride your bike with a helmet. Pay attention to your surroundings. Be safe. The argument could be made that safety and wisdom go together; however, like the fearful slave who buried his talent, safety denied the slave the opportunity to live more fully into the rich opportu-nities of life. The resources given him would have been better used investing in wisdom, a virtue our culture has decidedly taken a vacation.

The end of human time serves as humble motivation to not fritter your life away in foolishness. Seek wisdom. Resist evil; invest in the good. The time is short, therefore, lean into the challenge of a well-lived life.

Holmes earns supervisor awardSHERIDAN — Susan

Holmes, Sheridan County Conservation District chair, was the 2017 recip-ient of the Outstanding District Supervisor for the Wyoming Association of Conservation Districts. The award was presented during the awards luncheon at the 72nd annual convention of the WACD, which was held jointly with Wyoming Stockgrowers Nov. 27-30 in Casper. This award recog-nizes one of the 170 elected conservation district super-visors from across the state that has been exceptional in service as a conservation district official as well as other community and civic involvement.

Holmes is in her sec-ond term as a supervisor for the Sheridan County Conservation District and is currently serving as the chair. As a board member, Holmes is an active partic-ipant in the Goose Creek Watershed Committee and assisted with the application and consultant selection for the Goose Creek Watershed Level 1 Study. Holmes also represents the district on the steering committee for the Bighorn National Forest Plan implementation and participates in other district meetings, including

local workgroup meetings, meetings with county com-missioners, area meetings and state convention.

Most recently, Holmes has been instrumental in the Acme Power Plant reclama-tion project. Her knowledge, experience and dedication

have been a tremendous help as the district moves from exploring the possibil-ities to implementing this project.

Holmes is always willing to assist with water sam-pling activities and other district outreach events. In

addition to serving the dis-trict, Holmes is also a mem-ber of the Bighorn National Forest Resource Advisory Committee and a board member of the Sheridan Community Land Trust. Holmes is a retired profes-sional engineer.

Geoffrey Rush sues Sydney newspaper over theater storyCANBERRA, Australia

(AP) — Geoffrey Rush is suing a Sydney newspaper for allegedly portraying him as a sexual predator in its reporting of an actress’s complaint of “inappropriate behavior” against the Oscar-winning actor.

The Daily Telegraph’s reporting and advertising over the past week carried the defamatory mean-ings that the 66-year-old Australian actor was a “per-vert” and a “sexual preda-tor” while starring in the Sydney Theatre Company’s production of “King Lear” two years ago, according to documents filed in the Australian Federal Court on Friday.

The case cites headlines

including “King Leer” and “Star’s Bard Behavior” plus an advertising poster: “Geoffrey Rush in Scandal Claims.”

The News Corp. masthead broke the story last week that the Sydney Theatre Company had confirmed receiving the complaint. The company has released no details of the complaint other than to say the allega-tion involved “inappropri-ate behavior” while Rush was an employee and was not raised until after he had left. Rush has denied any misconduct.

Rush told a news con-ference at his lawyer’s Melbourne office that the newspaper’s reporting had damaged his reputation

and hurt his family and colleagues. He did not take questions.

“It is an action I am tak-ing in order to redress the slurs, innuendo and hyper-bole that they have created around my standing in the entertainment industry and in the greater community,” Rush read from a prepared statement.

The Daily Telegraph edi-tor Chris Dore said in a statement that his newspa-per had accurately report-ed that the theater had received the complaint.

“We will defend our posi-tion in court,” Dore said.

Rush’s lawyer Nicholas Pullen did not specify the damages that Rush was seeking.

Long-neglected ‘Chenier’ makes heroic

return to La ScalaMILAN (AP) — Umberto

Giordano’s long-neglected opera “Andrea Chenier” made a heroic return to the La Scala stage for the gala season premiere Thursday, with long applause for celebrated soprano Anna Netrebko and husband tenor Yusif Eyvazov who sang opposite each other as ill-fat-ed lovers.

The well-heeled La Scala season-opening audience applauded for more than 10 minutes, with a smatter-ing of boos that seasoned opera-goers said was the work of the famed “loggion-isti” — the hardcore La Scala attendees who popu-late the theater’s uppermost tiers — seeking to moder-ate the enthusiasm of the singers’ fans. Breaking the tradition of taking individ-ual curtain calls, Netrebko, in the role of the countess Maddalena, and Eyvazov, in the title role, took their bows with Italian baritone Luca Salsi, who sang the role of the revolutionary Carlo Gerard whose lies seal the lovers’ fate at the guil-lotine. Admirers showered them with flowers and gold-en glitter.

“It went very better than anyone thought, than any-one hoped,” Eyvazov said backstage, standing with Netrebko. “I am very happy tonight. I can say it is the evening most emotional and most happy of my artistic

life. I haven’t yet understood where I am.”

His La Scala debut was made easier by having Netrebko by his side, he said: “I didn’t have to act the love.”

Netrebko, who appeared in her third La Scala sea-son-opener, sang the role of Maddalena for the first time.

“We were nervous, of course. Especially him,” Netrebko said, adding that the support of everyone at La Scala and the audience helped to make the opening night a success. “We keep doing this for another seven performances. And every-one will be even better than this.”

“I love to sing with him, because I think our voices are matching together,” the Russian soprano said of her husband, whom she met on stage nearly four years ago in Rome.

Although “Andrea Chenier’s” history is close-ly tied to La Scala, where it made its debut in 1896, it had fallen out of fashion along with the Italian “ver-ismo” genre of booming tenors that it represents. Riccardo Chailly, now La Scala’s music director, was the last to conduct it at the famed Milan opera house in 1985, and he was determined to bring it back as part of the theater’s efforts to revive both the verismo and bel canto traditions.

On Dec. 8, 1941, the United States entered World War II as Congress declared war against Imperial Japan, a day after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

On this date:In 1813, Beethoven’s

Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92, was first performed in Vienna, with Beethoven him-self conducting.

In 1854, Pope Pius IX pro-claimed the Catholic dogma of the Immaculate Conception, which holds that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was free of original sin from the moment of her own conception.

In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued his Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction for the South.

In 1914, “Watch Your Step,” the first musical revue to feature a score composed entirely by Irving Berlin, opened in New York.

In 1940, the Chicago Bears defeated the Washington Redskins, 73-0, in the NFL Championship Game, which was carried on network radio for the first time by the Mutual Broadcasting System (the announcer was Red Barber).

In 1962, the first session of the Second Vatican Council was formally adjourned. Typographers went on a 114-day strike against four New York City newspapers.

In 1972, a United Airlines Boeing 737 crashed while attempting to land at Chicago-Midway Airport, killing 43 of the 61 people on board, as well as two people on the ground; among the dead were Dorothy Hunt, wife of Watergate con-spirator E.

Texas A& M quarterback Johnny Manziel became the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy.

One year ago: John Glenn, whose 1962 flight as the first U.S. astronaut to orbit the Earth made him an all-Amer-ican hero and propelled him to a long career in the U.S. Senate, died in Columbus, Ohio, at age 95.

Raymond

Donald HutsonSeptember 2, 1938 - November 20, 2017

Raymond Donald Hutson, 79, of Sheridan, passed away on Monday, November 20, 2017, at his residence.

Raymond D. Hutson was born September 2, 1938 near

Arnett, Oklahoma to a cowboy family, Francis LaVaughn Beardsley Hutson and Thomas Lawrence Hutson. He rode a horse to school in the first grade and hors-es and mules were a part of him for the rest of his life. He broke horses, trained horses and mules, and chariot raced. He especially enjoyed breaking work teams and was always ready to share his wisdom and experiences with others.

In 1958 he worked as a wrangler at Roosevelt Lodge in Yellowstone National Park. This is where he met the love of his life Bea (Beatrice) J. Babione. They were married on September 11, 1958 and lived around Bozeman, Montana where they started their family, Donna Rae and Rusty Levi. He continued to cowboy on ranches. His interests expanded to char-iot racing and wagon trains. He opened Hutson’s Saddlery on Main Street in Bozeman.

His chariot racing included Cutters and Roman style. He raced all over Montana and Wyoming including West Yellowstone and Cheyenne Frontier Days. He liked the challenge of racing three & four teams at a time, a start from a gunshot and no starting gates. Raymond raced for over 20 years before turning the lines over to his son and daughter. He then became the hot walker and trainer. For many years he was Jack Greer’s choice to hold his relay horses. Jack knew he would get him off to a good start to win many races.

In 1967 Bea & Raymond moved to Sheridan, WY where the family continued ranching and reopened Hutson’s Saddlery. In 2004 Rusty built him a new saddle shop/museum where he built several new sad-dles, chaps, all kinds of tack and did leath-er repair work.

After his first trip to Walker Prairie in 1968 he fell in love with the area and made it a yearly trip for him and the family during hunting season. They went to enjoy the mountains as a family vacation. Hunting was secondary. Their camp on the Prairie was a favorite to many people. Raymond made several trips throughout the year. He enjoyed packing his mules and horses to take family and friends to the Prairie. Many compliments were heard about his pack string on how nice they looked. The place has become “Walker Prairie Heaven” to him and his family. Raymond took pride in every-thing he did. He always had a good dog by his side and many stories to share.

Raymond took part in The Custer Reenactment and the movie Far & Away

with his teams and wagons. He has rebuilt many wagons and has quite a collection of them and horse drawn equip-ment. He always said he was born 50 years to late. He would have made a great pioneer. He was Wagon Master for many wagon trains and enjoyed letting other people share this wonderful experience.In 1990 as Wagon Master for the Cowboy State Centennial Wagon Train he led over 500 people and 87 wagons on the route. He had good help from his assistant Wagon Master, Dr. Roy Olson. Many wagon trains he led into the Hole-In-The Wall and Custer Nat. Forest near Birney, Montana.People enjoyed them so much they would return every year that he had one. He was so excited to have been able to take his grandson, Josh and great grandson, Landon on the wagon trains.

Raymond and Bea worked together side by side for 59 years on everything they did whether doing chores on the ranch or frying hamburgers for Aunt Bea’s Chuckwagon. They included their children Donna and Rusty, grandsons Josh and Landon as well as several foster children, Johnny Freeze, Tom Verwolf, Virgil Babione, Brad Legerski and Rickey Geisler as well as mentoring many others. They broke many draft horses in the 70’s & 80’s and sold teams. They also took part in many parades, shows, wed-dings and funerals with the teams.

He was a charter member of the Cayuse Cutter Club in Bozeman, MT, the Wyotana Chariot Club in Sheridan, WY and the Northeast WY Draft horse and Mule Assoc. where he served as president for many years as well as president of Sheridan Horse Patrol. Raymond was a life member of the Sheridan Elks Club and a member of the Banner Community Club. In 2014 Raymond was honored to be one of the first inductees into the Wyo Cowboy Hall of Fame.

Raymond was preceded in death by both parents, brother Clayton Hutson, sister Billie Lee Beagle, brother-in-laws Ace Johnson and Joe Beagle, Bill, Cecil and Richard Babione, nephews Eric and Marty Beagle and foster son Tom Verwolf. He is survived by his wife, Bea, daughter Donna Rae Hutson, son Rusty Levi Hutson, grand-son Joshua Levi Hutson, great grandson Landon Levi Hutson, all of Sheridan. His sister Jane (Gary) Molloy Gage, OK, brothers Malcome (Dorie) Hutson of Wenatchee, WA and Thomas (Stephanie) Hutson of Woodward, OK. Sister in-laws Joyce Johnson of Billings, MT and Danna Babione of Sheridan and numerous niec-es and nephews.

A Celebration of Life and reception will be held at 2 PM, Thursday, December 14, 2017, at the Sheridan County Fairgrounds.

Memorial donations may be made to the Banner Community Club or the High Country Cowboy Church, c/o D. Hutson, 9 Upper Prairie Dog Road, Banner, WY 82832

Secretary of state: Montana

has no voter fraud

issueHELENA, Mont. (AP)

— Montana does not have issues of coordinated voter fraud, but Secretary of State Corey Stapleton argues there were cases of “voter misconduct” during May’s special election that need to be addressed.

Stapleton met Tuesday with county elections offi-cials to discuss the results of a survey of absentee ballots that were cast but not count-ed in a May special election.

Stapleton charged in July that more than 360 illegal ballots were cast during a May 25 vote held to elect a U.S. House representative to replace now-Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke.

A survey found those were cases of mismatched signatures. Other ballots were missing signatures and some rejected ballots arrived late. Around 383,000 votes were cast statewide.

Dana Corson, elections director in Stapleton’s office, said in some cases, ballots that were questioned had the right person’s signature, but they signed too quickly or the voter had illnesses or injuries that caused their signatures not to match those on file with the coun-ty. Stapleton said an exam-ple of misconduct was a parent signing a ballot for a child away at college.

Many contacted by Secretary of State staff mem-bers said they didn’t know it was wrong to sign someone else’s ballot or they were surprised anyone noticed.

At least one case of poten-tial voter fraud was referred to the Lewis and Clark County attorney for consid-eration of prosecution, said Jeff Mangan, Commissioner of Political Practices.

“The jurisdiction for an election fraud is likely under the Commissioner of Political Practices based on our statues and not under the Secretary of State’s Office,” said Mangan, who attended the meeting.

Stapleton plans a series of public service announce-ments before next June’s primary election to educate voters on casting absentee ballots.

Charge confusion

places hold on

prosecution of death

CHEYENNE (AP) — Prosecutors are figuring out how a 21-year-old Cheyenne man accused of fatally shooting his roommate should stand trial after confusion on the charges against him.

The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports Cody Hess was charged with sec-ond-degree murder and the alternative charge of volun-tary manslaughter for the death of 35-year-old Michael Robbins last month.

A judge has found the evidence in the case didn’t show Hess acted with mal-ice, a requirement for a jury to convict someone of sec-ond-degree murder.

The judge says there is probable cause for a crime, but prosecutors are decid-ing whether one charge can move forward to court with-out the other.

Arguments for how the case will proceed are expect-ed to be presented next week.

Attorneys representing Hess say he acted in self-de-fense after Robbins attacked him.

Combative Franken quits, points to GOP tolerance of Trump

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Al Franken, a rising political star only weeks ago, reluctant-ly announced Thursday he’s resigning from Congress, suc-cumbing to a torrent of sexual harassment allegations and evaporating support from fel-low Democrats. But he fired a defiant parting shot at President Donald Trump and other Republicans he said have sur-vived much worse accusations.

“I of all people am aware that there is some irony in the fact that I am leaving while a man who has bragged on tape about his history of sexual assault sits in the Oval Office, and a man who has repeatedly preyed on young girls campaigns for the Senate with the full support of his party,” Franken said.

The 66-year-old Minnesotan, a former “Saturday Night Live” comedian who made a successful leap to liberal U.S. senator, announced his decision in a subdued Senate chamber three weeks after the first accu-sations of sexual misconduct emerged but just a day after most of his Democratic col-

leagues proclaimed he had to go. His remarks underscored the bitterness many in the party feel toward a GOP that they say has made a political calculation to tolerate Trump and Alabama GOP Senate can-didate Roy Moore, who’ve both been accused of sexual assaults that they’ve denied. In largely unapologetic remarks that last-ed 11 minutes, Franken said “all women deserve to be heard” but asserted that some accusa-tions against him were untrue. He called himself “a champion of women” during his Senate career who fought to improve people’s lives.

“Even on the worst day of my political life, I feel like it’s all been worth it,” he said.

Franken’s departure, which he said would occur in “coming weeks,” made him the latest figure from politics, journal-ism and the arts to be toppled since October. That’s when the first articles appeared reveal-ing sexual abuse allegations against Hollywood titan Harvey Weinstein and energizing the #MeToo movement.

Jury finds Montana man guilty of causing women’s fatal burns

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A fed-eral jury in Montana has found a man guilty of strangling a woman, pouring gasoline on her and set-ting her on fire, leading to her death more than two months later.

Jurors deliberated for two hours Thursday before finding 20-year-old Dimarzio Swade Sanchez of Busby guilty of first-degree

murder in the June 2016 death of 28-year-old Roylynn Rides Horse.

Sanchez faces a mandatory life sentence when he is sentenced on March 29.

Co-defendant Angelica Whiteman pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting first-degree mur-der for beating and strangling Rides Horse on the Crow Indian

Reservation.Prosecutors say the group had

been drinking and were driving around when Whiteman and Rides Horse got into a fight that contin-ued after Sanchez parked the car.

A passerby found Rides Horse 14 hours after the attack, suffering from third-degree burns and frost-bite.

Man killed by car identified as former Butte school coachBUTTE, Mont. (AP) — Family members say the

man who died after being struck by a vehicle in Montana was a former basketball and football coach at Butte High School.

The Montana Standard reports 76-year-old Dan Lean died from his injuries at a hospital in Missoula on Wednesday after he was hit earlier that morning in Butte.

Police say Lean routinely walked in the mornings, and he was on his usual route when he was struck. Police say he was walking in the parking lane and was wearing reflective clothing.

Police say they believe a newer model passenger car is what struck Lean.

The investigation is being handled by the Butte-Silver Bow Law Enforcement Agency along with the Montana Highway Patrol and Division of Criminal Investigations.

SPORTS

Broncs, Lady Broncs open seasons

SHERIDAN — Sheridan boys basketball had a tall task for their season opener Thursday. The Broncs battled defending state runner-up Rock Springs during the open-ing day of the East-West Classic at Kelly Walsh High School.

Behind a big game from Tristan Bower, Sheridan walked away with a 72-64 win over the Tigers.

Bower paced the Broncs with 26 points. Noah Erickson added 14, while Aaron Sessions and Parker Christensen chipped in eight and seven points, respectively.

Bower tallied 12 of his points during the first quarter as the Broncs led 21-7 after the first eight minutes. Rock Springs outscored Sheridan in each of the final three quar-ters, but the Broncs’ strong start held up.

The Broncs continue play at the tournament Friday, tak-ing on Evanston at Casper College at 7:30 p.m.

FROM STAFF REPORTS

Broncs wrestling comes back to defeat the WarriorsSHERIDAN — One night down,

one win under Sheridan wres-tling’s belt.

After falling behind early, the Broncs rallied for a 43-27 win Thursday night over Worland. Sheridan had important wins from its mainstays and received a boost from some varsity newcom-ers, as well.

Sheridan head coach Tyson Shatto was proud of the team’s effort, calling it an encouraging start.

“We’ve got a lot of guys that hav-en’t wrestled in these moments,” Shatto said. “We’re asking these kids to grow up really fast in the sport of wrestling, and there’s no easy way to do it, other than just get them underneath the lights and turn them loose.”

Beginning at 182 pounds, the Broncs lost their first four match-es — three by pin — to fall behind 21-0.

Sheridan came roaring back in the lightweight and middle-weight classes, thanks in part to two freshmen. Hayden Crow (138) pinned his opponent with 42 seconds remaining in the second round for six big points, and Reece Osborne (113) scored four points after a 12-3 decision.

Falcons’ Deion Jones saves his best for the Saints

ATLANTA (AP) — Deion Jones can’t wait to face the New Orleans Saints again in two weeks.

The Falcons’ standout mid-dle linebacker keeps putting up impressive numbers against his hometown team, and he made the play of the game in a 20-17 win Thursday night over the Saints.

Jones was playing man coverage in the closing minutes on tight end Josh Hill when he leapt high in the end zone, intercepted Drew Brees’ pass with both hands and closed his eyes as he began falling backward for a big thud against the turf.

“Once I realized I had it, I knew it was going to be a long way down,” Jones said with a smile. “I felt my feet in the air and I just wanted to hold onto it. I wanted to get up

with the ball. I didn’t want to see myself fall. I really didn’t.”

For Jones, it was just another great game against the Saints.

Jones, who grew up in New Orleans and starred at LSU, has been on the other side of the fence since the Falcons drafted him in the second round last year. In three career games against the Saints — all victories — he has 20 solo tackles, 28 stops overall, five pass breakups and two picks.

In his first game against New Orleans last year, he returned an interception 90 yards at the Superdome.

His pick Thursday sealed a big win for the Falcons (8-5) and kept the Saints (9-4) from holding a tighter grip on the NFC South lead.

“We just have to keep stacking ‘em, coming out and playing with that fire,” Jones said. “No telling what might happen.”

NO CHOKE TONIGHT

Saints coach Sean Payton appeared to taunt Devonta Freeman with a choking gesture, holding his hand at his neck and yelling, “Choke!” after the Falcons running back was stopped for no gain at the New Orleans sideline early in the fourth quarter.

Payton said after the game that he didn’t remember doing it. Freeman, who scored the game’s first touchdown earlier in the game , had no trouble recalling it.

“I saw it,” Freeman said. “That man don’t know nothing about choking. He ain’t from where I’m from. He’s a good competitor so the competing probably came out, but you don’t let that bother you. He don’t know nothing about chok-ing.”

BASKETBALL : Hard fightFROM B1

Sheridan girls basketball, however, didn’t experience similar success. The Lady Broncs fell to Rock Springs 54-42 during the East-West Classic.

Alli Puuri spearheaded a balanced scoring attack for the Lady Broncs as she tal-lied 10 points. Kailee Ingalls added nine points, and Riley Rafferty scored eight.

Sheridan jumped out to a 15-12 advantage after the first quarter. The Lady Broncs remained out in front at halftime 23-21, but the Lady Tigers rallied and exploded for a 24-point fourth period to pick up the victory.

The Lady Broncs contin-ue play at the tournament Friday, looking to bounce back against Evanston at Casper College at noon.

FALCONS : Ryan looked nothing like last year’s MVPFROM B1

The Falcons know a little some-thing about it. They blew a 28-3 lead to lose the Super Bowl last season.

Payton’s apparent taunt didn’t slow them Thursday, though. They kept the drive going three more plays before quarterback Matt Ryan hooked up with Mohamed Sanu for an 8-yard touchdown.

Payton has lost three straight to the Falcons for the first time since taking charge of the Saints in 2006.

ROUGH NIGHTRyan looked nothing like last

year’s MVP, throwing three inter-ceptions in a span of nine plays and making some uncharacteristically bad decisions with the football.

At least Ryan got the offense back to scoring touchdowns.

They went without a TD in last week’s loss to Minnesota, marking the first time that didn’t happen since they lost 38-0 at Carolina in 2015. But the pass he underthrew to

Julio Jones in the end zone early in the third quarter was one he’d like to forget .

The only thing good about it was New Orleans had to punt five plays later.

“On the third one in the end zone, you want to give Julio opportuni-ties, and I didn’t throw the ball near-ly high enough where it needed to be,” Ryan said.

Ryan wasn’t alone. Brees was disappointed in himself for the game-ending pick.

DRS. OZ & ROIZEN Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen

DEAR ABBY Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips

The two hapless weightlift-ers Hans and Franz (Dana Carvey, Kevin Nealon) got Arnold Schwarzenegger to flex his pecs in an episode of their 1991 “Saturday Night Live” routine. And though their dubious advice to a class of 7-year-olds was to oil your body, shave your pecs and strike a pose, their real intention was to “pump ...

you up.”New research in the

American Journal of Epidemiology looked at data on over 80,306 adults and confirms that strength training is an important aerobic exercise -- and it can give you a younger RealAge. The University of Sydney researchers found that doing regular muscle-building workouts (no gym or weights required) was associated with a 23 percent reduction in risk of premature death from any cause and a 31 percent reduction in can-cer-related deaths. Push-ups and other exercises that use your own body weight as resistance or using stretch bands or weights is equally effective.

The researchers also found that together, a routine of

aerobics and strength build-ing delivered the best boost to your health. In the study, that meant 150 minutes of aerobics and two days of strength training every week. Our favorite aerobic/strength-building routine involves:

--Walking 10,000 steps a day or the equivalent.

--Doing 7-10 minutes of strength training of your foundation muscles (abs, back, buttocks, quadriceps, hamstring, and rotators) every other day.

--Doing 8-10 minutes of strength training of your non-foundation muscles (chest, shoulder, biceps, tri-ceps, and forearms) every other day.

--Doing 20 jumps -- to build hip and spine bones -- every day.

DEAR ABBY: I spent an evening with a guy I’ve been wanting to date for some time. After a few drinks he confided to me that he has a serious heart condition. He said he doesn’t expect to live past age 23 and he could die any day.

I don’t know the details of his condition, but I’m sure he believes what he told me. Because of this his life has taken a downward spiral. He has been drinking a lot, failed multiple classes last semes-ter and feels like studying is futile if he may only live a year after graduating.

For lack of evidence to the contrary, I accepted his statement as accurate. I don’t think he’d make up something like that. What can I say or do to show my support? How can I encour-age him not to give up on his dreams and his goals? He’s only 19. How can I be strong for him?

Since he told me about his heart I haven’t been able to think about anything else. I don’t know how to process this information. How do you comfort someone you care about who’s facing mortal-ity at such a young age? -- BROKENHEARTED GUY IN THE SOUTH

DEAR BROKENHEARTED GUY: If you want to be a friend to this young man, ask how many doctors have told him about his poor prog-nosis. If the answer is only one, urge him to get a second opinion because there are medical advances in cardiolo-gy happening every day, and he may not be nearly as close to the end as he fears.

You say he’s still in school. Suggest he talk to someone at the student health center about his depression because it is interfering with his grades. And while you’re at it, suggest he stop drinking and neglecting his studies because, in the end, he might LIVE.

DEAR ABBY: My best friend of more than 20 years is a busy person. She has a demanding job, a husband, two children and extended family she cooks for on most

holidays. She also cares for an elderly distant relative. She has a heart of gold and is wonderful to me and my family.

When I’m invited to her house for dinner, she refuses to let me help her clear the table. I’m not happy with that, but I accept it. The prob-lem arises when I invite her over for dinner. Because we don’t get to visit often, I’ll pile the dishes in the kitchen so I can spend time with her and wash them later. But she cannot sit still and just have a conversation with me or anybody. You will find her in the kitchen scraping plates, soaking pans and hand-wash-ing the wine glasses.

This has become a point of contention because I like to

unwind and clean my kitch-en after my guests have left. I have tried working with her, but she prefers to power through the mess by herself, which gives us less time to sit and talk. How can I get through to her? -- ANXIOUS IN NEW YORK

DEAR ANXIOUS: Assuming that you have spoken to your friend more than once about this, I think it’s time to accept her the way she is, rather than the way you would like her to be. Some people are unable (notice I didn’t say unwilling) to just sit still and have a con-versation, and she appears to be one of them. If this is her only flaw, consider yourself blessed to have a sparkling kitchen when she leaves.

Hints from Heloise Heloise

The basics of ‘travel wear’ Dear Heloise: I have a

suggestion for young trav-elers: Pick out one BASIC COLOR when planning your travel wardrobe, such as gray, black, brown or even navy, and build around that one color. I use black -- black jeans with a

red or white blouse, maybe a black sweater and a white one, a black pencil skirt and black low-heeled shoes. You can switch your clothing around to create new looks every day as long as you stick to one basic color. -- Emma G., Bakersfield, Calif.

SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-5000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com SPREAD THE NEWS Dear Heloise: I have a suggestion I’d like

to pass on for those who travel: Let a close relative or friend know when you’re leav-ing and when you’ll be returning, and, if possible, leave a phone number where you can be reached. My dad passed away when I was out of town, and no one had a way to reach me. My brother had to handle every-thing, and I never got to say goodbye to my Dad. -- Lorrie S., Benbrook, Texas

ROLLING ALONG Dear Heloise: I have kitties, so I use a

lint roller a lot. Each time after removing the used sheet on the lint roller, I turn up a small corner to make it easier to find the place to remove the next sheet. I enjoy your column and have found many great hints!

-- Martha Q., Villa Park, Calif. GOING SOLO Dear Heloise: I’ve been invited to a

wedding on New Year’s Eve. It sounds like fun, and I really like the couple, but the invitation was addressed only to me, not to me plus one. That means I can’t bring my date. How can I ask if my girlfriend can come with me? Or is that a no-no? -- Greg L., Slidell, La.

Greg, I consulted with etiquette experts, and they say you really can’t ask to bring your girlfriend. If you feel uncomfortable going without her, then decline the invita-tion and make other plans for New Year’s Eve. -- Heloise

SAVINGS PLAN Dear Heloise: I’ve discovered an easy

way to save cash for a rainy day. I save every $5 bill I get. I put it aside and then, when I go to the bank, I put it in my savings account. I save for Christmas, property taxes, trips and more. Once the money is in the bank, I hate to take it out unless I really need it. Last year, I managed to save nearly $2,000 this way. -- Mandy T., King of Prus-sia, Pa.

MICROWAVE MESS Dear Heloise: I need help cleaning my

microwave. Suggestions? -- Connie P., via email

Connie, mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1 cup of water in a microwavable bowl and place it in the middle of the interior of the microwave oven. Heat this mixture for 3-5 minutes, depending on how much food is caked on the interior of the microwave. When the heating process is done, keep the door closed to give the steam time to work. Repeat if necessary. -- Heloise

THE NO. 1 INDEPEN-DENT BRIDGE MAGA-ZINE

If you have a budding expert on your gift list, or wish to give yourself a present, get a subscrip-tion to The Bridge World magazine (bridgeworld.com).

The material aims pri-marily at serious tournament players, but there are articles and quizzes for the bud-ding expert. In this deal, look only at the North and West hands. Against four hearts, West leads the spade ace: five, two, four. How should he continue? What happens in four spades?

North responded with one forcing no-trump; but even in Standard, one nonforc-ing no-trump would have been a sensible response. However, when North learned of two eight-card fits, he jumped to game; and usually a 4-4 fit is preferable to a 5-3.

West knows that East started with a sin-gleton spade. But he should not cash the spade king, which would give up control. Instead, he leads the spade eight, his higher spot-card being a suit-preference signal for diamonds. Assuming East ruffs and shifts to a diamond, that establishes four tricks for the defenders: two spades, one diamond and the ruff.

Four spades goes down if West leads a di-amond (likely) and defends accurately after that. Suppose South takes the second dia-

mond with dummy’s ace and plays a trump. West wins and leads another diamond to tap the declarer’s hand. When South plays a spade toward the nine, West must duck that. Then, if declarer leads a third trump, West wins and plays a fourth diamond, which South ruffs with his last trump. Or, if declarer abandons trumps, West ruffs the third round of hearts. In each scenario, the defenders get three spades and one dia-mond.

Omarr’s Daily Astrological Forecast Jeraldine Saunders

BIRTHDAY GAL: Ac-tress Reiko Aylesworth was born in Chicago on this date in 1972. This birth-day gal por-trayed Michelle Dessler on “24” from 2002-2006. Currently, she plays Allie Jones on “Scorpion”

and she played the recurring role of Malia Waincroft on “Hawaii Five-O.” She’s also appeared on episodes of “Major Crimes,” “SEAL Team,” and “NCIS.” Aylesworth’s earliest role was Rebecca Lewis on “One Life to Live” in 1993.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Moderation makes the best motto. Set reasonable spending limits and don’t let peer pressure stop you from thinking for yourself. It will pay to be as nice as possible to those who are involved in local businesses.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Something

better will come along soon. Romantic hookups begun under these stars may not make it to the finish line. New relation-ships might cause you headaches. Focus on making steady financial progress.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Look before you leap. Use your business sense. Inves-tigate the whys and wherefores before you make a key decision. Just because others live carefree lives doesn’t mean you should follow their example.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Make every penny count. Run your home like a busi-ness. Accepting an offer or following through on a new idea might cause unan-ticipated complications. Impulse buying might leave you drained of resources.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may be driven to succeed no matter the cost. You could be blind to hidden expenses or drawbacks. It may be tempting to begin something of major consequence that involves a risk to your piggy bank.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Pay attention to the compass bearings before raising your sails. You may be required to navigate the complexities of intricate family relation-ships. Act only from love to avoid aggravat-

ing the situation.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your best inten-

tions may be challenged by misdirection. You may hope that joining a group will give you the knowledge and experience you lack. A new project may quickly hit a stage of inertia or drain your energy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Smooth talk-ers can smooth the way. You may become aware of subtle signs of disagreement with a loved one. Take these signals to heart and try to do a bit more to please those whose opinions matter the most.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Timing is everything. Your caution or hesitation might be a necessary step in the process. It is not that there is anything really wrong, but you need sincere reassurances from others before making a commitment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may be more interested in making money than in spending money. While everyone else is plotting and planning their holiday gifts you might be focused on ways to turn your nest egg into a cash cow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can be a savvy shopper or simply wait for the next sale. You may feel that you need to impress

your colleagues or out-Jones the Joneses by having the finest possessions. The fact is that no one will notice.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): To be seen as reliable you must rely on yourself, not oth-ers. You might be too eager to please, so un-less you watch out you might end up doing someone else’s work. There might not be enough time for love.

IF DECEMBER 9 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Your business expertise is at a peak so any-time during the next three to four weeks could be ideal for making a major purchase or entering into important financial con-tracts. The first half of January can be the perfect time for a romantic getaway or a vacation to a better climate. Accept any op-portunity that knocks on your door in late April or early May as in some way it will improve your life or be of great benefit. If you have a sincere prayer it is likely to be answered. Late May and early June can be ideal for romance and glamorous experi-ences, but is just as good for making your mark in the material world. That is a good time to follow your dreams of achieving better financial security without sacrific-ing your ideals.

BRONCS : Wrestlers taking practice techniques and successfully applying themFROM 1

Shatto was impressed with the young wrestlers’ perfor-mances in their first career bouts.

“They’re going to be big sparks in our lineup,” he said.

Most of the upperclassmen grapplers did their jobs as well. Junior Matt Legler (132) had a pin with only a few sec-onds remaining in the second round, and senior Trevon Covolo (126) picked up a 4-1 win. The Broncs also nabbed 12 points from two open Worland classes at 106 and 152 pounds.

With Sheridan leading 31-27 and two bouts remaining, junior Quinn Heyneman (160) secured the team victory with a first-round pin. Senior Steen Avery (170) capped the evening with a pin near the beginning of the third round.

Shatto said it was nice to see the wrestlers take their practice techniques and suc-cessfully apply them against competition, such as focusing on defensive positioning and keeping their hands low. The team will need to keep that mentality going to reach its potential over the next few months.

“We know we’re going to be an underdog through this sea-son,” Shatto said. “We’re just going to have to embrace that, and we’re just going to move forward and prove ourselves.”

So far, so good.Sheridan will compete in

the Rapid City, South Dakota, Invitational Friday and Saturday.

Broncos skid at 8, home underdogs vs. JetsENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP)

— Vance Joseph just may get doused on the sideline should the Denver Broncos finally win again Sunday.

It would be out of relief, with the team mired in an eight-game slide — the longest the franchise has endured in 50 years.

“Going to feel like a play-off win,” running back C.J. Anderson said of what a victory would feel like. “So we might just dump the Gatorade on V.J. We ain’t won in two months. ... We all are sick and tired of los-ing.”

The Broncos (3-9) head into their game against the New York Jets (5-7) in an unusual position — underdogs at home by 1½ points. That’s how far the Super Bowl champions from two years ago have tumbled.

The Broncos’ QB carousel has rotated through Trevor Siemian, Brock Osweiler, Paxton Lynch and back to Siemian, who gets his second straight start.

“We’re playing like we’re at the bottom of the NFL and we have way too much talent on the team to be playing like that,” linebacker Shaquil Barrett said. “We just have to figure it out and get it together.”

Many prognosticators predict-ed doom and gloom for the Jets this season. But here they are on the fringe of the playoff race behind the play of quarterback Josh McCown, who’s having the best season of his 15-year NFL

career.The 38-year-old was recently

selected the offensive player of the week after he threw for 331 yards and a touchdown, and ran for two scores in New York’s 38-31 win over Kansas City. He joined Brett Favre and Ryan Fitzpatrick as the only quar-terbacks to win the award with three teams in the past 15 years.

Even more, McCown became just the third player in NFL history to score on two runs in a single game at the age of 38 or older, joining Doug Flutie (41, 2003) and Jim Thorpe (38, 1926).

That’s some prestigious com-pany.

“I’m just like, whatev-er works,” McCown said. “Whatever gets us in the end zone. That’s all that matters.”

With four games left, the Broncos are in job-saving mode. General manager John Elway recently said on a local radio station that he’s embarrassed by the current downfall. He added the coaching staff would finish out the season.

Jets coach Todd Bowles had some advice for his head coach-ing counterpart.

“Just keep your head down and work, get the guys better and go from there,” Bowles said. “That’s all we can do as coach-es.”

DYNAMIC DUORobby Anderson and Jermaine

Kearse are the first pair of wide

receivers in Jets history to each post consecutive games of 100 yards receiving since Don Maynard and George Sauer in 1967.

There have been only seven games in the NFL this season in which two wide receivers both had 100 yards receiving or more, and Anderson and Kearse are the only ones to accomplish it twice.

Anderson had his five-game touchdown streak stopped last Sunday against Kansas City, but the second-year receiver has seven this season.

Combined with Kearse, who has five TDs, they are tied for the third-most in the NFL by a receiving duo — behind only Houston’s DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller (16) and Pittsburgh’s Antonio Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster (15).

“We try to push each other, whether he’s trying to push me or I’m trying to push him,” Kearse said. “We’re real compet-itive out there.”

DEFENSIVE DEBACLEDespite the victory against the

Chiefs, the Jets had some serious flaws exposed in their defensive secondary. They gave up 474 yards, including 366 yards pass-ing by Alex Smith.

The Kansas City quarterback threw four touchdown passes, two each to speedy wide receiver Tyreek Hill and tight end Travis Kelce. Smith also had a 70-yard

run.“We had a lot of issues, but

that was the first time we didn’t play well in a while,” Bowles said of his secondary. “We’ll get back at it and get to work and try to fix that next week (against Denver).”

THIRD DOWN SUCCESSThe Jets are second in the

league in third down yards with 1,043, trailing only Philadelphia (1,229). What’s more, the Jets have converted at a 40.2 percent rate and have scored nine TDs on third down.

GRAND SCHEMEAnderson has rushed for 652

yards this season and has his eye on a 1,000-yard season. He needs to average 87 yards over the last four games to reach the plateau.

“Trying to go do that,” Anderson said. “I need some things to run my way.”

He had 15 carries in a 35-9 loss at Miami last weekend, while Jamaal Charles and Devontae Booker combined for five.

ERRANT SIEMIANSiemian has 13 interceptions

this season, including three against the Dolphins.

“You want to make sure you don’t miss a play and that’s when bad things happen,” Siemian said. “For me, I just go back to feeling the flow of the game and not trying to do too much.”

FIFA awaits new evidence next week on

Russian doping

FIFA is expecting to receive new evidence next week from a Moscow laboratory database about doping cases in Russian soccer.

Players from Russia’s squad at the 2014 World Cup are among 34 poten-tial soccer cases arising from an investigation by Richard McLaren, who detailed a doping conspiracy across Russian sports.

The World Anti-Doping Agency has called a meeting for Thursday “to inform several international fed-erations about the new intelligence,” FIFA said Friday in a statement. WADA announced last month it had the Moscow database which, FIFA said, includes “all testing data between January 2012 and August 2015.” That could reveal details from thousands of samples destroyed at the lab in December 2014, after the scale of Russian doping was reported in a German TV documentary. In a sworn statement to an International Olympic Committee investigation, former Moscow and Sochi Olympic lab director Grigory Rodchenkov said he oversaw the destruction of about 8,000 doping controls.
