Lawmaker blames media for comments about working women

CASPER (AP) — A Wyoming lawmaker who was under fire for making controversial statements about women workers says the media twisted his words.

The Casper Star-Tribune reports that Casper Rep. Gerald Gay earlier this month said that women have lower wages because they are taking too much maternity and sick leave to attend to their children.

At a news conference Wednesday he apologized

if his words were misunderstood and that “agen-da-based articles” portrayed his words inaccurately.

The lawmaker also said he will sponsor a bill in the Wyoming Legislature that would make it easier for women to sue employers for gender-based wage discrimination.

The Better Wyoming reporter who initially spoke to Gay, Kerry Drake, says he did not twist Gay’s words and that he transcribed them directly.

Antelope Butte Foundation receives $40,000 gift

SHERIDAN — While early snow falling on the Antelope Butte Mountain Recreation Area comes as a blessing for local skiers, ski enthusiasts received another gift earlier this month.

The Antelope Butte Foundation received a $40,000 donation from the Ruth Pruitt Phillips founda-tion. The foundation is based out of Missoula, Montana.

Noah Phillips, board member and acting president of the foun-dation, said the board members in the foundation saw this as a golden opportunity to help the rec-reation area that has been out of operation for more than 10 years.

The foundation has strong ties to the area. Phillip’s grandmother, who started the foundation, grew up in Sheridan. Additionally, Phillips, his uncle, his cousin and his father also learned how to ski at Antelope Butte prior to the recreation area shutting down in 2004.

Cellphones spill into Y-stone’s

wilds

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Adventure seekers encounter untamed wilder-ness when they enter the backcountry of Yellowstone National Park. Howling wolves. Deadly grizzly bears. Steam-spewing gey-sers as seen nowhere else on earth.

A refuge from ringing cellphones? Not so much anymore.

In the popularity contest between Yellowstone’s natu-ral wonders and on-demand phone service, park admin-istrators appear to have lost ground on a 2009 pledge to minimize cellphone access in backcountry areas.

Signal coverage maps for two of Yellowstone’s five cellphone towers show calls can now be received in large swaths of Yellowstone’s interior, such as the pic-turesque Lamar Valley and other areas until just recent-ly out of reach.

The maps were obtained by a Washington, DC-based advocacy group, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER), which has for years fought against new telecommunica-tions infrastructure in the first national park in the U.S.

Their release comes just a week after lawmakers in the U.S. House introduced a bill that would allow even more cellphone towers and similar structures on public lands across the nation.

Ken Sinay, who operates the Yellowstone Safari tour company and has been run-ning nature tours in the park’s backcountry for two decades, said phone signals became far more prevalent in many parts of the park over the past several years.

His customers typically arrive to get away from modern-day distractions. But some are unable to resist the lure of taking business calls or calling home to check on their dogs.

Colorado gives marijuana

candy a new look to avoid

confusion

DENVER (AP) — Wondering if that brownie contains pot? Colorado has you covered.

A requirement that edible marijuana products come with a diamond-shaped stamp and the letters T-H-C — not just on the packag-ing but on the brownies, candies and other edibles themselves — takes effect Saturday.

The rule referencing marijuana’s psychoactive ingredient was added after complaints that the treats look too much their non-in-toxicating counterparts. It is the first such requirement in any legal weed state.

Colorado’s new “universal symbol” for foods that con-tain marijuana is designed to give the treats a distinct look even after they’re out of the packaging. In other words, a pot cookie being passed around a high school cafeteria no longer will look so innocent, giving parents a way to identify marijuana edibles without smelling or tasting them.

The stamping requirement comes in addition to exhaus-tive labeling and packaging rules that include childproof zippers and lids, along with warnings that the product should be kept away from children and not eaten before driving or while pregnant or nursing.

“We want to ensure that people genuinely know the difference between a Duncan Hines brownie and a marijuana brownie, just by looking at it,” said state Rep. Jonathan Singer, a Democrat who sponsored the law requiring stamped edibles.

$2M bail set for man

expected to get new

murder trialGILLETTE (AP) — Bail

has been set at $2 million for a man whose second-de-gree murder conviction was overturned after prosecu-tors agreed the jury at his initial trial was given erro-neous instructions.

The Gillette News Record reports 24-year-old Todd Sindelar remains in jail and has requested a public defender in the new case. He is due back in court Oct. 18.

Sindelar was sentenced to 48 years in prison for the Nov. 28, 2013, death of 25-year-old Matthew Boyer. He was arrested in South Dakota after a high-speed chase and told investigators he shot Boyer in self-de-fense.

Sindelar appealed his sen-tence, claiming prosecutors wrongly instructed the jury to consider his flight from the state after the killing.

DUI enforcement

to increase during

‘Border War’ gameCHEYENNE (AP) — Law

enforcement agencies in Wyoming and Colorado will be teaming up for DUI and seat belt enforcement during Saturday night’s “Border War” football game between the University of Wyoming and Colorado State University.

The rivalry brings a lot of traffic to U.S. Highway 287 between Laramie and Fort Collins, Colorado, and on Interstate 25 between Cheyenne and Fort Collins, where the game is being held.

Robert Terry, assistant chief of the Laramie Police Department, says “It’s a late night game but expect to see officers, deputies and troop-ers out in force all day and all night.”

Wyoming ranks

low for seat belt

complianceCHEYENNE (AP) — More

than 80 people have died so far this year on Wyoming highways and Wyoming Highway Patrol says about 60 percent of those deaths involved people who were not using seat belts.

The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports that according to the Wyoming Department of Transportation the state had an estimated seat belt compliance rate of 79.8 per-cent in 2015.

Neighboring states have higher seat belt compliance rates. Idaho has an 81.1 per-cent rate and Colorado has a rate of 85.2.

Wyoming only has second-ary seat belt laws, meaning drivers can be cited for not wearing a seat belt but they cannot be pulled over for the offense.

Nationally, seat belt use rates are generally higher in the 34 states with prima-

ry enforcement, meaning drivers can be pulled over for a seat belt offense alone.

Early, absentee

voting begins

throughout

Wyoming

CASPER (AP) — Early voting for the Nov. 8 general election in Wyoming has begun.

The Casper Star-Tribune reports that residents can cast their ballots at county clerks’ offices throughout the state or request that a ballot be mailed to their home.

Natrona County Elections Deputy Clerk Chris Lindsey says her office sent out about 3,200 absentee ballots Thursday, the most ever mailed on the first day of early voting.

She says an increasing number of people are choos-ing to vote absentee because it’s convenient.

Residents can cast their votes for the president, the state’s sole member of the U.S. House, judges, and members of the Wyoming Legislature and local gov-ernment.

Laramie to hold

Wyoming youth

voter summitCHEYENNE (AP)

Wyoming will be holding a summit in Laramie as part of an effort to encourage young people to vote.

The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports that the state will hold its first-ever Youth Voter Summit next week.

Two panels are sched-uled for the Oct. 4 event alongside remarks from Gov. Matt Mead and former Olympic wrestler Rulon Gardner. Gardner is a Wyoming native.

One panel will discuss civic education, civic part-nership and youth partic-ipation. The other focuses on the changing media landscape and its impact on young peoples’ perception of politics.

Secretary of State Ed Murray says young voter turnout has been lower than other demographics in recent elections. He says only 10.6 percent of people aged 18-24 voted in the 2014 general election.

Teams, guides earn top finishes at Fall FlySHERIDAN — Joey’s Foundation

hosted its fourth annual fund-raiser, Joey’s Fall Fly, Sept. 16-17. According to event organizers, the Fall Fly exemplifies the best of what the foundation has become known for: mentoring, friendships and the great outdoors.

Day one, morning one, it was guide against guide in the Legends of the Fall Fly Tournament. This competition on a local private ranch pitted talent against talent in a tour-nament where one team wins, and only one will take home prize for largest fish.

Corey Lincoln of Casper took the

award home for biggest fish.The Friday night Fall Fly Cast Off

celebration launched the tourna-ment and hosted nearly 200 guests, including the Fall Fly teams. Each sponsored team consisted of one adult angler and a student angler. During the evening, the 18 teams took their turn to draw for their beat of water and their accompa-nying guide. Once they met their guide, the three joined forces to cre-ate their plan to grab first place in the tournament the next day. Each team is allowed to compete with only two flies.

After the last team climbed off the bus at their beat early Saturday morning, it was only a few hours

before the winning positions were claimed.

First-place honors went to Edge Exteriors with anglers Randall and Will Huckeba and guide John Ripley. Second-place went to The Bank of Sheridan with anglers Jesse Townsend and Ryder Dilloway and their guide Rick Landis. Last was the third-place team of Vacutech with anglers JT Tucker and Trenton Scheeler and guide Matt Huckeba.

Registration has already started for Joey’s Fall Fly IV, which is set for Sept. 15-16, 2017. For more infor-mation on Joey’s Foundation or the Fall Fly, contact sheila@joeysfly-fishing.com.

FBI mum on case of Montana woman found dead in car trunkHELENA, Mont. (AP) — The FBI is awaiting lab

results before releasing any more information about the death of a woman who reported being kidnapped at a Montana rest stop and spending hours in the trunk of her car.

The Helena Independent Record reports investigators

are trying to determine how 47-year-old Rita Maze, of Great Falls, ended up shot to death in the trunk. She was found dead Sept. 7 with a handgun and two spent shell casings at her side.

Before she died, Maze reportedly called her family and said she had been attacked at a rest stop and stuffed into the trunk. An officer who later called Maze’s cellphone said someone answered, and then the officer heard gun-shots.

Authorities found Maze’s body more than 300 miles away near Spokane International Airport in Washington state.

CELLPHONES : Expanding coverageFROM 1

“It’s a real drag at Artists Point,” Sinay said, referring to a famous overlook near Yellowstone Falls. “While people are trying to enjoy themselves somebody’s on their phone waving their hands and gesturing and walking around in a circle.”

Yellowstone technology chief Bret De Young acknowledged the occurrence of “spillover” cellphone signals into back-country areas, but suggested the coverage maps — released by the park to Ruch’s group under a public records request — exaggerated the quality of coverage in parts of the park.

In 2009, Yellowstone issued a wireless and telecommunications management plan that said cellphone coverage “would not be promoted or available along park roads outside developed areas, or promoted or available in any of the backcountry.”

“No cellphone service will be allowed in the vast majority of Yellowstone,” park offi-cials said in a statement issued when the plan was adopted.

PEER executive director Jeff Ruch said the park had failed to meet those goals and instead ceded its telecommunications program to companies that wanted to offer blanket coverage.

“The ability to disconnect, the sereni-ty value of that, is a park resource that they’ve given away without a thought,” Ruch said.

De Young said it is not the intent to cover backcountry areas, and the park is taking

steps to limit cell service as much as possi-ble to developed areas.

That’s being done with the installation of new antennas that direct signals more precisely so cellphone services are limit-ed mainly to the small communities and campgrounds in the park.

Two of the park’s five cellphone towers now use those specially aimed antennas, and De Young said a third is due to be con-verted this fall.

A cellphone coverage map provided by the park shows that the signals extend beyond targeted areas but lose signal strength as the distance from the communi-ties and campgrounds increases.

“This will allow the service providers to keep up with new phone technology while limiting unintentional coverage areas,” De Young said.

The House legislation introduced last week seeks to encourage even greater cellular and broadband coverage within national parks and other public lands. The measure from California U.S. Rep. Jared Huffman is known as the Public Lands Telecommunications Act.

It would impose rental fees on telecom-munications companies with cell towers or other infrastructure on public lands. Money raised would be used by the U.S. Interior and Agriculture Departments to obtain additional communication sites and take other steps to foster greater coverage.

National Park Service spokesman Jeremy Barnum said the agency could not provide an estimate of the number of cell towers in national parks.

EDIBLES : Packages required to contain phrase, ‘ Keep out of reach of children’FROM 1

There are no numbers in Colorado or any marijuana state on how many children or adults accidentally eat pot. But a 2016 study tracing admissions at Children’s Hospital Colorado just out-side Denver found that more kids were treated for acci-dental pot ingestion after legalization, from 1.2 per 100,000 population two years prior to legalization to 2.3

per 100,000 population two years after legalization.

Marijuana ingestions remained relatively rare, though, with the hospital reporting 81 children treat-ed for accidental pot inges-tion between 2009 and 2015. Authors noted that “poor child supervision or prod-uct storage” was present in about a third of those cases.

Still, reported accidental ingestions caught lawmak-ers’ attention. The law was

passed more than a year ago but is just now taking effect because of difficulties imple-menting it. None of the other legal weed states has considered a universal sym-bol requirement for mari-juana products themselves, as opposed to the packaging.

Candies and baked goods may be simple to stamp, but the label requirement gets a lot trickier for bulk items such as granola, or marijuana-infused sodas

or powders that can be dis-solved in water. The state ultimately settled on new packaging rules for those impossible-to-stamp items, requiring that sodas come in small single-serve bottles, for example.

Colorado also requires that edible packages contain the phrase, “Keep out of reach of children.”

At BlueKudu, which makes marijuana-infused chocolates, owners had to

buy new molds for a line of candy bars that include flavors like mint chocolate, toffee almond and coffee crunch.

Company founder Andrew Schrot said that when he started his company in 2011 for medical marijuana cus-tomers, his pot treats looked like any other chocolate bars. But he said the switch to a recreational market in which new marijuana users were trying his products

necessitated change.“This is not your normal

chocolate bar. There’s some-thing different about it. You can tell just from looking at it,” Schrot said.

Colorado’s marijuana industry initially was hes-itant about the change, pointing out in regulatory meetings that alcohol mak-ers aren’t required to dye their drinks funny colors to make sure parents don’t let kids get ahold of the booze.

ABF : On track to complete restoration FROM 1

“When we learned that the Antelope Butte ski hill had shut down, we were heartbroken,” Phillips said. “ ... We would be thrilled to teach our kids to ski up there to make it three generations of skiers at Antelope Butte.”

In response, the board of the Ruth Pruitt Phillips Foundation, all of whom are fam-ily members of Phillips, proceeded to pro-vide the Antelope Butte Foundation with the donation.

“We were happy to provide this gift to the (Antelope Butte Foundation),” Phillips said.

Phillips said his foundation worked with local businessmen and Antelope Butte Foundation board member Josh Law to make the donation happen.

“We are very appreciative for the gen-erosity that made this gift possible,” Antelope Butte Foundation Executive Director Andrew Gast said.

The gift will go toward improvement and maintenance of the mountain recreation area.

“The first repairs to the lodge at Antelope Butte have started, and as the support of donors continues to grow, we are on track to complete the restoration of the lodge and lifts next year,” Gast said.

The Antelope Butte Foundation’s efforts are moving forward with the construction phase of the project. The foundation will host “Beaver Day” on Sunday, a day dedi-cated to improving trails on the mountain near the mountain recreation area. Anyone is welcome to participate, according to a press release.

The Ruth Pruitt Phillips Foundation’s donation makes for the seventh gift given to the Antelope Butte Foundation valued at $25,000 or higher, according to a list of donors on the foundation’s website.

The Antelope Butte Mountain Recreation Area is expected to be fully operational for winter recreation in 2017.

Highway Patrol official under investigation

for Bison photoCASPER (AP) — A

high-ranking official with the Wyoming Highway Patrol is under inves-tigation for posing for a photo near a bison at Yellowstone National Park.

The Casper Star-Tribune reports that Yellowstone National Park officials are investigating Highway Patrol Major Keith Groeneweg after he posted a photo on Facebook that looks like he is violating park rules that people must stay at least 25 yards

from wildlife.In the photo, Groeneweg

can be seen near a bison. The caption of the photo says he is trying to “hug a buffalo.”

Groeneweg says he was observing the rule and that the photo appears closer than he actually was.

Wyoming Highway Patrol Col. Kebin Haller says Groeneweg has been forthcoming about the Yellowstone investigation and that he is cooperating with the park.

EDITORS NOTE: These three cartoons depict how other countries — Switzerland, Romania and Australia, respectively — view the 2016 U.S. presidential elections.

When facts, logic and history

don’t matterA

nd now, less than six weeks from the elec-tion, what is the main event of the day? A fight

between the GOP presidential nominee and a former Miss Universe, whom he had 20 years ago called Miss Piggy and other choice pejoratives. Just a few weeks earlier, we were seized by a transient hys-

teria over a minor Hillary Clinton lung infection hyped to near-mor-tal status. The latest curiosity is Donald Trump’s 37 sniffles during

the first presidential debate. (People count this sort of thing.) Dr. Howard Dean has suggested a possible cocaine addiction.

In a man who doesn’t even drink coffee? This campaign is sinking to somewhere between zany and totally insane. Is there a bottom?

Take the most striking — and overlooked — moment of Trump’s GOP convention speech. He actually promised that under him, “the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon — and I mean very soon — come to an end.”

Not “be reduced.” End.Humanity has been at this

since, oh, Hammurabi. But the audience didn’t laugh. It applauded.

Nor was this mere spur of the moment hyperbole. Trump was reading from a teleprompter. As he was a few weeks earlier when he told a conference in North Dakota, “Politicians have used you and stolen your votes. They have given you nothing. I will give you everything.”

Everything, mind you. “I will give you what you’ve been looking for for 50 years.” No laughter recorded.

In launching his African-American outreach at a speech in Charlotte, Trump catalogued the horrors that he believes define black life in America today. Then promised: “I will fix it.”

How primitive have our politics become? Fix what? Family structure? Social inheritance? Self-destructive habits? How? He doesn’t say. He’ll will it. Trust him, as he likes to say.

After 15 months, the sus-pension of disbelief has become so ubiquitous that we hardly notice anymore. We are operating in an alternate universe where the geometry is non-Euclidean, facts don’t matter, history and logic have disappeared.

Going into the first debate, Trump was in a virtual tie for the lead. The bar for him

was set almost comically low. He had merely to (1) suffer no major meltdown and (2) produce just a few moments of coherence.

He cleared the bar. In the first half-hour, he established the entire premise of his campaign. Things are bad and she’s been around for 30 years. You like bad? Stick with her. You want change? I’m your man.

It can’t get more elemen-tal than that. At one point, Clinton laughed and ridi-culed Trump for trying to blame her for everything that’s ever happened. In fact, that’s exactly what he did. With some success.

By conventional measures — poise, logic, command of the facts — she won the debate handily. But when it comes to moving the needle, conventional measures don’t apply this year. What might, however, move the needle is not the debate itself but the time bomb Trump left behind.

His great weakness is his vanity. He is temperamen-tally incapable of allowing any attack on his person to go unavenged. He is particu-larly sensitive on the subject of his wealth. So central to his self-image is his business acumen that in the debate he couldn’t resist the tempta-tion to tout his cleverness on taxes. To an audience of 86 million, he appeared to con-cede that he didn’t pay any. “That makes me smart,” he smugly interjected.

Big mistake. The next day, Clinton offered the obvious retort: “If not paying taxes makes him smart, what does that make all the rest of us?” Meanwhile, Trump has been going around telling Rust Belt workers, on whom his Electoral College strategy hinges and who might still believe that billionaires do have some obligation to pay taxes, that “I am your voice.”

When gaffes like this are committed, the candidate either doubles down (you might say that if you can legally pay nothing, why not, given how corrupt the tax code is) or simply denies he ever said anything of the sort. Indeed, one of the more remarkable features of this campaign is how brazenly candidates deny having said things that have been cap-tured on tape, such as Clinton denying she ever said the Trans-Pacific Partnership was the gold standard of trade deals.

The only thing more amaz-ing is how easily they get away with it.

Police say they received a call Monday about the apparition, which turned out to be part of an art installation.

The incident was a test for a video light show in which the faces of more than a dozen famous people tied to Berlin’s history are projected onto buildings in the center of the German capital. Only Hitler is silent.

Displays of Nazi imagery that glori-

fy the Third Reich are forbidden in Germany, but police spokeswom-an Valeska Jakubowski said Thursday the Hitler apparition was covered by exceptions granted for artistic works.

The installation is part of a month-long light show that starts Friday and runs through Oct. 23.

Nate Parker unapologetic in ‘60 Minutes’ interview

NEW YORK (AP) — In an interview with “60 Minutes,” Nate Parker was unapologetic for a 17-year-old rape case that has surrounded his film, “The Birth of a Nation.”

In excerpts from the interview to air Sunday shared exclusively with The Associated Press on Thursday, Parker said he was “falsely accused” and declined to make any apology. The woman who made the accusation killed herself in 2012.

Her sister, Sharon Loeffler, published a col-umn in the trade paper Variety on Thursday, blasting Parker and “Nation” collaborator Jean Celestin for their role in her sister’s life and for including a fictional rape scene in their film.

Loeffler said she was very close to her sister and feels “a duty to speak on her behalf.” ‘‘Nate Parker caused her so much pain, and that pain and anger are still raw for me,” she writes.

Parker maintains in the “60 Minutes” interview that the accusations were unwarranted.

“I was falsely accused ... I went to court ... I was

vindicated,” he says. “I feel terrible that this woman isn’t here ... Her family had to deal with that, but as I sit here, an apology is — no.”

In the interview, Anderson Cooper presses Parker on whether he did something morally wrong.

“As a Christian man ... just being in that situ-ation, yeah, sure,” says Parker. “I am 36 years old right now ... my faith is very important to me ... so looking back through that lens ... it’s not the lens I had when I was 19 years old.”

Parker, who stars in, directed, co-wrote and co-produced “The Birth of a Nation,” instead argued that his film, about Nat Turner’s slave rebellion, deserves more attention than himself and the rape accusation, made when he was a student at Penn State. Parker was acquit-ted in the case.

“I think that Nat Turner, as a hero, what he did in history, is bigger than me,” said Parker. “I think it’s bigger than all of us.”

“The Birth of a Nation” first debuted in January at the Sundance Film Festival where it was hailed as an antidote to the then-raging

“OscarsSoWhite” back-lash. Parker’s film immediately sparked widespread Oscar expec-tations and a bidding war among distributors. Fox Searchlight, an Academy Awards regular, landed it for a festival record $17.5 million, with the assurance of a nation-wide release. It’s to open in the-aters next Friday.

But the newfound atten-tion on Parker put a spot-light on a rape case from when he was a sophomore and wrestler at Penn State University. Parker was acquitted, though his col-lege roommate, Celestin (who has a story credit on “The Birth of a Nation”) was initially found guilty of sexual assault. That conviction was later over-turned when the accuser declined to testify for a retrial.

Parker and Celestin allegedly harassed the accuser on campus. The incident spawned a suc-cessful civil lawsuit by the woman against the col-lege. But the accuser, after several previous attempts, committed suicide in 2012. Her brother, identified only as Johnny, told The Hollywood Reporter that the rape case “was obvi-ously that point” at which she changed.

NATIONAL OBITUARY |World leaders mourn Peres,

praise him as a man of peace

LONDON (AP) — Current and former world leaders mourned the passing of Israeli statesman Shimon Peres on Wednesday, praising him as a visionary who committed his life to the elusive goal of lasting peace in the Middle East.

President Barack Obama described Peres as “sol-dier for Israel, for the Jewish people, for justice, for peace, and for the belief that we can be true to our best selves — to the very end of our time on Earth.”

“Todah rabah, Shimon,” Obama said, using the Hebrew for thank you.

Peres, who died early Wednesday at the age of 93, was awarded the 1994 Nobel Prize after he secretly helped broker the historic Oslo interim peace accords with the Palestinians a year earlier. He shared the prize with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.

Former President Bill Clinton recalled Peres’ joy 23 years ago when he signed the Oslo Accords on the White House lawn, ushering in an optimistic moment in Israeli-Palestinian relations.

“His critics called him a dreamer. That he was — a lucid, eloquent dreamer until the very end. Thank goodness,” Clinton said in a joint statement

with his wife, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. “Let those of us who loved him and love his nation keep his dream alive.”

Peres, who served in the largely ceremonial role of president from 2007 to 2014, represented a mod-erate face of Israel after the more hawkish Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took office in 2009. Peres sought to reassure the international commu-nity that Israel seeks peace despite stalled negotia-tions under Netanyahu, who said Peres “taught us never to give in to despair, but to cling to hope.”

Peres remained active at his peace center, which sponsored programs promoting Israeli-Arab coex-istence, until weeks before his death.

“Though he grew older, his spirit never did,” said former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who also worked as a Mideast peace envoy. “Above all, his commitment to peace and his belief that it was in the interests of the country he adored marked him out as a visionary.”

Peres had a major stroke two weeks ago that led to bleeding in his brain. He was sedated and on a respirator during most of his hospitalization, but his condition suddenly worsened.

Netanyahu issued a statement mourning the passing of Peres and convened his Cabinet for a special session. Preparations are underway for a funeral that many international dignitaries and leaders from around the world are expected to attend.

NY: Utilities can’t charge termination

fees after death

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Phone, cable and utility companies in New York may no longer charge early termination fees when service has been discontinued due to the death of a customer.

The rule was signed into law Tuesday by

Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who said the practice of charging fees to deceased customers was “heartless and inap-propriate” and created burdens for those set-tling their loved ones’ affairs.

Few statistics are avail-

able about how often companies took such action, but Democratic Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther, who sponsored the legislation, says a utility tried to charge her mother an early ter-mination fee after she died.

Gridlock in Congress may presage more of the same to comeWASHINGTON (AP) — A bitterly divid-

ed Congress adjourned Thursday for the election, having accomplished little more than the bare minimum, with lawmakers looking ahead to a lame-duck session and a weighty to-do list already piling up for next year.

A must-pass spending bill, agreed to after an unnecessarily protracted struggle and repeated rounds of partisan finger-point-ing, extends government funding until Dec. 9 and addresses the Zika crisis with $1.1 billion months after President Barack Obama initially requested federal aid. Lawmakers advanced spending for flood victims in Louisiana and a compromise to help victims of lead-tainted water in Flint, Michigan.

Obama swiftly signed the spending bill into law.

When they return to Washington after

the election, lawmakers will have to com-plete the annual appropriations process, which fell apart this year even though getting it on track was a top priority for the leaders of Congress’ GOP majorities, House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. Only one of the 12 must-pass annual spending bills has been completed.

“This is what divided government gets you,” Ryan said Thursday. “You don’t always get what you want in divided gov-ernment.”

Yet next year is likely to herald still more divisions. Even if Republicans hold the House as expected, manage to win the White House with Donald Trump and hang onto their fragile Senate majority, minority Democrats would still exercise significant power in the Senate. Republican control would be incomplete under the most opti-mistic scenarios for the GOP.

If Democrats win the White House or the Senate, it would usher in another era of

divided government, perhaps even more fraught.

At the same time, Congress and the next president, whether Trump or Democrat Hillary Clinton, will confront a series of daunting tasks pushed off into 2017 by a catch-all budget deal negotiated under the former House speaker, John Boehner, on his way out the door last year.

Perhaps most monumental, the debt limit will need to be raised by around midsum-mer, something that has provoked intense battles in recent years. Failure to raise it would lead to a disastrous, first-ever default on U.S. obligations like interest payments.

Lawmakers will need to revisit major programs, including the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and expiring tax cred-its for a range of industries. The annual budgeting process will be greatly complicat-ed by the return of tight spending caps on the Pentagon and domestic agencies after two years of hard-fought relief. There will be a Supreme Court vacancy to fill along with less headline-grabbing but still com-plex and necessary chores, such as reautho-rizing the Federal Aviation Administration.

“Given the heavy weight of some those issues, some of them are not going to be delicate by any stretch of the imagination,” said Rep. Mark Sanford, R-S.C.

Whichever party controls the Senate, the majority is likely to be razor-thin and senators will focus immediately on the 2018 election, when Democrats will be defending tough seats in GOP-leaning states.

In the Republican-led House, the number of moderate-minded GOP lawmakers is like-ly to be reduced, potentially giving more power to the House Freedom Caucus, which frequently opposes routine legislation and impedes deal-making by leadership.

And Ryan is widely seen as having presi-

dential ambitions in 2020, which may com-plicate his willingness to cut deals with the White House.

“Ryan will have a decision to make,” said the second-ranking House Democratic leader, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland. “Do I want to be perceived as the leader of the obstructionist party, or do I want to be seen as the constructive opposition which works with the president and the Senate to achieve progress?”

Before getting to next year, lawmakers must first get through the post-election lame-duck session. The election results will determine much of what is possible, but prospects for action may be slim apart from completing work on the needed spending bills, which Congress could end up punting with yet another extension.

Ryan is holding out hope for progress on criminal justice reform legislation sought by Obama and members of both parties, but McConnell suggested Thursday that was unlikely. And Obama is pushing hard to advance his legacy-shaping trade deal for Asia, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, but McConnell and Ryan have indicated that is unlikely.

McConnell has said repeatedly he has no plans to advance Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, this year.

Beyond that, lawmakers must complete a water projects bill with the Flint money in it and could come together around a medi-cal research bill.

Before leaving town, congressional lead-ers devoted some of Thursday to blaming each other for their slim record of accom-plishments so far this year, taking credit for what did happen, and insisting that if nothing much happens in the lame-duck it will be the fault of the other party, not their own.

Watchdog report criticizes DEA’s use of confidential sources

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Drug Enforcement Administration does a poor job overseeing the millions of dollars in payments it distributes to confidential sources, relies on tipsters who operate with minimal oversight or direction and has continued paying infor-mants who were no longer supposed to be used, accord-ing to a government watch-dog audit issued Thursday.

The Justice Department inspector general found pervasive problems with the agency’s confidential source program, which between 2010 and 2015 relied on more than 18,000 active informants to help gather tips, leads and intelligence in drug investigations. More than 9,000 of those sources received roughly $237 mil-lion in payments, the report found.

Though the DEA views informants as vital, the inspector general last year criticized the agency for weak controls and over-sight of its sources — which

in the past have included Amtrak workers — and said in the new report Thursday that many problems remain.

“We found that the DEA did not adequately oversee payments to its sources, which exposes the DEA to an unacceptably increased potential for fraud, waste and abuse, particularly given the frequency with which DEA offices utilize and pay confidential sourc-es,” the office wrote.

Among the issues identi-fied: the DEA was unable to measure the reliability of its informants and lacked controls or procedures for when its own sources recruit other individuals to act as “sub-sources.” The agency also improperly maintained Amtrak and Transportation and Security Administration employees as sources and only recently developed a policy against using government employ-ees as informants. The use of Amtrak employees as sources ended in March, the report said.

The inspector general also raised concerns that some of the highest-paid DEA

sources are tipsters known as “limited use” informants. That category of source operates with minimal oversight or direction in making information avail-able to the DEA. The agency paid $27 million to “limited use” informants during the inspector general’s review period, the audit said.

The report estimates that the DEA may have paid about $9.4 million to more than 800 sources who were no longer supposed to be used as informants.

Among them was a con-fidential source who had previously provided false testimony in trials and depositions, and yet was reactivated as a source, used by 13 field offices and paid more than $469,000.

In a written response to the report, the DEA said it had issued a new policy in July that it said addressed most of the inspector gener-al’s concerns.

The DEA also pointed to formal training that’s given on the appropriate handling of documentation, tracking and information received from confidential sources.

SPORTS Wyoming nose tackle makes final games count

LARAMIE (AP) — Chase Appleby probably isn’t the first player you’ll notice on Wyoming’s defense.

You might notice safety Andrew Wingard and linebacker Lucas Wacha, what with their flowing locks and high

tackle totals. You’d probably notice linebacker D.J. May and defensive end Carl Granderson, two of the defense’s most imposing, athletic players. Or maybe the blazing speed of cornerback Rico Gafford is the first thing to catch your eye. But chances are, Appleby won’t be the first one.

For one, he’s a nose tackle, caught

up in the line of scrimmage scrum that rarely garners much glory. He’s not the biggest dude, either; of Wyoming’s starting defensive linemen, he’s the shortest, and of the rotation of players that see time on the Cowboys’ interior, he’s the lightest.

Lady Camels overpower Lady Broncs, earn three-set sweep

SHERIDAN — The energy was high in the Sheridan High School gymnasium Thursday evening as the Lady Broncs vol-leyball team (12-9, 1-3 in 4A East) took on its rival Gillette Lady Camels (16-5, 3-1).

Despite two strong opening sets, the Lady Broncs couldn’t turn that energy into victo-ries as they fell in straight sets to the Lady Camels (25-22, 25-21, 25-13).

The last time the SHS volleyball team was on its home floor — losses to Cheyenne Central and Cheyenne East — the Lady Broncs lacked the intensity needed to get past the two conference foes. Thursday, in front of a much bigger and amped up crowd, the Sheridan girls seemed much more focused to face their rival, especially in the first set.

The two teams battled back and forth

early in the set before Gillette rallied to take a huge 17-10 lead. Sheridan got dis-couraged when playing from behind two weeks ago; that wasn’t the case Thursday.

Fallon Farr sent over back-to-back aces to spark a Sheridan scoring spree. Mindy Songer put away a kill after a big rally and followed it with a block on the next point. Hadyn Lamb added a kill of her own to cut it to just a 17-15 deficit and forced a Gillette timeout.

Sheridan cut it to 18-19 shortly after the timeout, but the Lady Camels responded with a short rally of their own to bump it back up to a 24-19 lead. Sheridan’s Kailee Becking rattled off two aces, but a lift on a tough point earned Gillette the first-set victory.

The second set was much tighter, but the Lady Broncs still found themselves playing from behind.

Gillette took a 15-11 lead and kept it

around 2 or 3 points until Sheridan forced two straight Gillette errors and tied the match at 21. Still, the Lady Broncs couldn’t get over the hump as the Lady Camels held on to take the set on a Mollie Wilson kill.

Net play was the story of the game for both sides. While Sheridan had its moments with big blocks — three of its first four points in the second set were blocks — the Lady Broncs spent most of the match on the defensive.

Gillette’s Kalina Smith is the top attacker in the conference, and she overpowered the Sheridan front line Thursday, along with middle blocker Greta Villarreal, the confer-ence’s second-leading blocker.

Cardinals top Reds on Molina’s disputed ground-rule double in 9th inning

ST. LOUIS (AP) — There was no dispute the St. Louis Cardinals shouldn’t have won on Yadier Molina’s double.

But they did — because by the time Cincinnati figured out what happened, it was too late.

A game with playoff implica-tions turned on a missed call Thursday night when Molina got credit for a winning double with two outs in the ninth inning to beat the Reds 4-3.

“I just kept my head down and kept running,” Molina said. “I didn’t really hear or see any-

thing.”The Cardinals are one game

behind San Francisco for the sec-ond NL wild-card spot. Each team has three games left.

Matt Carpenter drew a one-out walk from Blake Wood (6-5). With two outs, Molina’s one-hop hit clearly bounced off a sign above the left-field wall and caromed back into play.

Carpenter kept running and scored from first. It should have been a ground-rule double, putting Carpenter on third. Instead, the Cardinals celebrated.

Reds manager Bryan Price ran after the umpires to argue. He said he was later told he had 10 seconds

after Carpenter scored to appeal for a replay.

“It’s a terrible rule,” Price said. “I mean that’s ridiculous.”

The Cardinals hurried their on-field party and zipped to the clubhouse while the Reds milled around on the field waiting for something to happen.

Crew chief and plate umpire Bill Miller said he felt he gave the Reds enough time to ask for a replay.

“In this situation, Bryan Price did not come up to the top step,” Miller told a pool reporter. “I looked into the Cincinnati dug-out and Bryan Price made no eye contact with me whatsoever. And

then after 30 seconds, he finally realized somebody must have told him what had happened and we were walking off the field.”

There is no disputing that the ball hit the sign, which is consid-ered out of play and a ground rule double should have been called.

Reds left fielder Adam Duvall said the ball “definitely hit the sign.”

“I saw it. I heard it. There’s a gap in between the sign and the fence. I wasn’t sure if it was in play or not,” he said.

Duvall retrieved the ball and made a relay home.

“I’m not blaming the umpires. I’m blaming the system,” Price

said. “You couldn’t hear anything. And then all of a sudden, someone is screaming, ‘the ball hit the top of the back wall.’ Which would have made it a ground-rule dou-ble.”

Price and staff didn’t get the message fast enough from their video review crew.

“Because of the crowd noise, we couldn’t hear the phone ring,” Price said. “There was no siren or blinking light to let you know.”

Said Carpenter: “The ball’s hit, I was running as hard as I can.”

“It was a fun way to win a game,” he said.

CONFERENCE: SHS hosts East’s top team Laramie next weekFROM B1

The Lady Broncs were forced to make adjustments as Smith and Villarreal put the ball in open spaces, and even if the hits didn’t lead to immediate kills, they often sent the Sheridan back row lunging for difficult passes and sets.

Sheridan only had a handful of kills per set, while the Lady Camels had a handful of blocks to go with their big swings on offense.

Smith opened the third set with a mon-ster kill from the back row as Gillette’s powerful offense started to wear on the Lady Broncs. Sheridan wasn’t able to har-ness the energy of the crowd, and there was no comeback in store in the third set.

Gillette took a quick 4-0 lead in the set. Sheridan eventually cut it to a 6-4 defi-cit, but that’s as close as it got. The big Gillette hits and Sheridan miscues put the Lady Broncs in a double-digit hole before Gillette’s Ashtyn Evans put the match

away with a soft touch kill that landed in a hole in the Sheridan defense.

It was another painful loss for the Lady Broncs as they battle through the gauntlet that is the 4A East conference. The top half of the conference — Laramie, Gillette and East — are a combined 50-10 on the season.

Sheridan will head to Billings for some nonconference play this weekend before hosting Cheyenne South and confer-ence-leader Laramie next weekend.

LOCAL SPORTS BRIEFS |

Lady Broncs continue

dominance in the poolSHERIDAN — The Sheridan High School

swim team carried momentum from its record-setting weekend into a dominating meet in Buffalo Thursday.

Sheridan took first out of six teams with 394 points. Kelly Walsh was second with 244.5 points, and Douglas was third with 226.

It was nearly a clean sweep for the Lady Broncs. They won nine of the 12 events Thursday, coming just short in the 50-yard freestyle, 100-yard breaststroke and diving.

The members of the record-setting relay teams led the charge for Sheridan in Buffalo, this time getting the job done individually for the Lady Broncs with six combined wins.

Molly Green took the title in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 2 minutes, 25.79 seconds and added a second

title in the 100-yard freestyle (57.85). Pippin Robison took two victories, as well, win-ning the 200-yard freestyle (2:06.63) and the 500-yard freestyle (5:39.68).

Zoe Robison and Piper Carroll added a win apiece Thursday, as well. Zoe Robison won the 100-yard butterfly with a swim of 1:08.14, and Carroll’s time of 1:04.60 bested Zoe Robison in the 100-yard backstroke.

SHS head coach Brent Moore mixed up his relay teams a bit Thursday, but the Lady Broncs still had steady results.

The team of Carroll, Zoe Robison, Victoria Petermann and Olivia Thoney won the 200-yard medley relay with a time of 2:07.83, beating the Kelly Walsh team by a second and a half.

Green, Maci Turk, Ava Johannesmeyer and Jenna Frederickson won the 200-yard freestyle relay by a second with a time of 1:52.74, and the group of Carroll, Thoney, Pippin Robison and Nora Craft won the 400-yard freestyle with a 4:04.85 time.

Sheridan took third in the 50-yard free-style with a 28.18-second swim from Jadyn

Mullikin. Frederickson (1:19.97) and Turk (1:21.46) finished second and third, respec-tively, in the 100-yard breaststroke, as well.

The Lady Broncs will swim in the Douglas Invite Saturday.

Suska, two doubles teams

advance to state tennis semis

SHERIDAN — The opening round of the state tennis tournament was a good one for the Sheridan High School tennis team as all but one position advanced to the second round. While the second round was tough-er, three positions moved on to Friday’s semifinal round.

Quinton Suska won two matches easily at boys No. 1 singles Thursday. He defeat-ed Rock Springs’ John Prevedel 6-0, 6-1, before taking down Torrington’s Tyler Ring 6-3, 6-2. Suska will take on Cheyenne South’s Brenddan Lock in the semifinals.

For the Lady Broncs, the No. 2 and No. 3 doubles teams are still alive heading into Friday’s matches.

Libby Standish and Lennon Dregoiw won their opening match against Cheyenne Central 6-1, 6-1, and took a three-set match over Green River after dropping the first set. They’ll take on Kelly Walsh’s Bailey Neff and Kylie Spangler Friday. Standish and Dregoiw defeated the Kelly Walsh duo in three sets earlier this season.

At No. 3 doubles, the team of Aerianna Roth and Maggie Pierce won its first match 6-3, 7-5, over Cheyenne Central and defeated Green River 7-5, 6-3. The pair will battle Cody Friday.

Ethan Kutz and Hannah Jost both advanced out of the first round at No. 2 singles for Sheridan before losing in the second round. All three Broncs doubles teams and the Lady Broncs No. 1 doubles teams also won their opening matches before falling in the quarterfinals. They’ll all have a chance to advance in the conso-lation bracket Friday.

Crosby adds to legacy at World Cup

TORONTO (AP) — Sidney Crosby was stewing after each of the first two periods in Game 2 of the World Cup of Hockey finals.

When the final horn sounded, he was sporting an ear-to-ear smile.

Crosby set up Patrice Bergeron’s game-tying goal with 2:53 left in the third period on a power play that paved the way for Brad Marchand’s short-handed goal with 43.1 seconds remaining to be the winner, lifting Canada to a 2-1 victo-ry over Team Europe and the World Cup of Hockey title Thursday night.

The Pittsburgh Penguins superstar was voted MVP of the best-on-best tourna-ment, with a World Cup-high 10 points, just three months after winning his sec-ond Stanley Cup and earning the Conn Smythe as MVP of the playoffs.

“I don’t have to look too far to think about how tough it was a year ago start-ing out the season,” Crosby said. “I think I appreciate this a lot.”

Crosby had a slow start last year in the NHL before finishing strong.

Likewise, the Canadians struggled early in Game 2 before a furious and fan-tastic finish. Crosby was part of a scrum at the end of the first period in which his helmet was knocked off near Europe’s net at the end of the first period.

After the second period ended, Crosby lingered on the ice to shout at Swiss defenseman Roman Josi.

Crosby was clearly frustrated at being kept off the scoresheet, playing with a pair of Boston Bruins, Marchand and Bergeron, who had combined for 22 points through the first five games.

They were shut out through two peri-ods. In the final period, though, each of them played a tangible part in the come-back.

Crosby, as usual, led the way with his play at both ends of the rink.

DEAR ABBY Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips

Avoiding traffic pollution In the 1991 movie “L.A.

Story,” TV meteorologist Harris Telemacher (Steve Martin) is feeling trapped in a cliche-ridden existence when his car breaks down on the side of an L.A. free-way. Suddenly, the signpost

above him comes to life and inquires, “R.U.O.K.?” For most commuters, however, the roadway isn’t such a car-ing environment.

According to a new study, the pollution most of us are exposed to when driving in congested areas is downright dangerous. At intersections, where cars start and stop and start again, pollution levels are up to 40 times higher than when you’re actually driving around town.

That’s concerning because the average American spent 50 hours in stand-still traffic last year, and a whole lot more time crawling along, packed like a sardine in a six-lane tin can! In those sit-uations, repeated exposure to tiny bits of particulate matter in traffic-polluted air leads to

chronic respiratory problems and increases your risk of cancer, wrinkles, impotence and heart disease.

Fortunately, the study also found that when you keep car windows rolled up and air vents turned off (or on recirculate), you reduce expo-sure to pollution by up to 76 percent. Also smart: Drive on streets with less traffic and away from busy roadways. That eases hypertension, too!

Another tip: If you live near roadways that are clogged with stop-and-go traf-fic, keep windows and doors closed. In warm weather, use your (recirculating) air con-ditioning to filter the air, and in the winter use HEPA fil-ters in central-heating ducts or in-room air filters to help scrub the air.

BASIC VOTING INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE JUST A CLICK AWAY

DEAR ABBY: Election Day is just over a month away. As it approaches, many people have questions about voting that could keep them away from the polls this November.

USAGov can help. We’re the federal program that connects Americans to gov-ernment information and services. Responding to ques-tions from people across the country, we created an online guide to voting and elections at USA.gov/voting.

Our goal is to equip every-one with the basic informa-tion they need to register and get their vote counted. The information is free, easy to understand and nonpartisan.

There, readers can begin the registration process for their state or contact their local election office to update their voter information, learn what form of identifi-cation may be needed and the location of their poll-ing place. We also provide information on how to vote early or absentee -- which is helpful for those who can’t get out to vote, or who serve overseas in the military. Learn about sample ballots, tips for researching candi-dates, accessibility laws for voters with disabilities and much more.

Abby, thank you for shar-ing USA.gov/voting with your readers, and for your long partnership in connect-ing them with information from their government to make their lives a little less complicated. -- NANCY TYLER, SENIOR EDITOR, USA.GOV

DEAR NANCY: You are welcome. Readers, in the 2012 presidential election, less than half (42 percent) of Americans who were eligible to vote did so. A person who has the right to vote and doesn’t is no better off than the millions of people in this world who do not have that privilege. We are fortunate to live in a country where citizens are allowed to cast a ballot. The direction our

country takes domestically and internationally is to a great extent determined by the citizens who exercise that right.

Regular, absentee and early voting all have registration deadlines that vary state by state -- some as much as a month before Election Day, which is Nov. 8. So visit the voter registration section of USA.gov/voting, where you will find a button to begin the registration process.

DEAR ABBY: I work in an office where employee badges are issued and used to gain access to the building itself and to more sensitive areas. I know most of the people who work here and happily hold the door open for them, but there are also a lot of people I don’t know -- some with badg-

es indicating they work here, and others without identifi-cation.

I don’t want to let in some-one who does not belong here and risk our safety and secu-rity. Would it be better to ask for ID before holding doors? What about friendly visitors? -- BUILDING ACCESS IN BOISE

DEAR BOISE: Companies pay large sums of money to ensure their buildings are secure. If someone doesn’t have an access card or a secu-rity badge, you should not hold the door open regardless of how friendly the person appears to be. To do other-wise circumvents the securi-ty and safety of the building and puts everyone -- includ-ing yourself -- at risk.

Omarr’s Daily Astrological Forecast Jeraldine Saunders

BIRTHDAY GUY: Actor Rupert Friend was born in Oxfordshire, England on this date in 1981. This birth-day guy has starred as Peter Quinn on “Homeland” since 2012, earning a 2013 Emmy nomination for his work. On the big screen, Quinn’s film resume includes “Hit-man: Agent 47,” “The Young Victoria,” and “Pride & Prejudice.” Quinn will next co-star in the upcoming his-torical drama “The Death of Stalin.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Calibrate as you cele-brate the weekend. Remain poised to accept other peo-ple’s opinions, even when you disagree with them. Strike a balance between honoring the old and em-

bracing the new.TAURUS (April 20-May

20): Put business ideas on the back of the stove. This is a weekend to spend time with loved ones or to ex-plore something new and different. Make an effort to be more understanding and patient.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Show everyone that your word can’t be doubted. Someone close might be willing to take risks that you find foolish. It is in your hands to help someone learn to use better judg-ment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Turn down the second helping of dessert. Put your desires, wants, and needs into proportion. You have

an avid appetite for the very best things in life, but must control it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t dare kisses made of air. You might find that a special someone expects tangible tokens of affec-tion. Go out of your way to demonstrate your faith-fulness and willingness to please.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may meet new acquain-tances that alter your view-point and perspective. Your common sense and business savvy will prevent you from making wildly extravagant purchases.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Open hearts rather than wallets. If you are loving and kind towards the spe-

cial person in your life you will develop a deeper appre-ciation of their character. Choose people over things.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Money isn’t everything. Harmonious relationships mean the most. Risk taking, speculation or gambling is not a good idea. Don’t be un-yielding or stubborn as co-operation is advantageous.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Nobody is im-pressed by someone who is sad, so you might as well be happy. Occasional conflicts provide an excuse to kiss and make up. Be happy to make sincere amends.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A lighter touch will do the trick. Don’t be heavy handed or adamant about

getting what you want. Hide your irritation if a loved one or friend tries to outdo you in your area of exper-tise.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Words can be a weapon or a tool. You will find just the right words when diplo-macy is needed. Whisper the most appropriate sweet nothings when the lights are low.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Handle problem before problems handle you. You could be so wrapped up in pleasing people or enjoying social activities that you forget to take a hard look at your financial condition.

IF OCTOBER 1 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You’ve got the world by the tail between

now and early November. This is an excellent time to make plans for the future as you are wiser and more far seeing than usual. You can be confident of success when you make irrevocable decisions or take the first steps of new beginnings. People who have your best interests at heart can grow closer. Your romantic side could be in bloom in late November and early Decem-ber. That could be a good time for a romantic rendez-vous or vacation break. In January you will be in your element when dealing with finances, investments, or career matters.

Hints from Heloise Heloise

Dear Helo-ise: I recently read a hint about includ-ing a picture of a handwrit-ten note in the “Picture File”

of your cellphone so that an honest person can find that information and RETURN YOUR PHONE. Here’s what I suggest instead:

1. Create a document with “This phone belongs to ...” and any other information a “finder of your phone” might need to know.

2. Take a picture of this document with your cell-phone.

3. Now go to your phone settings and then go to “Wallpaper.”

4. Click on “Choose a New Wallpaper,” and choose the picture you’ve just taken.

5. Set that picture to ap-pear on your locked screen.

Should you lose your phone, anyone who finds it won’t have any access to your files, only to the information on your locked screen. -- Linda S., Agoura,

Calif.ORANGE JUICE BEFORE

BEDTIMEDear Heloise: My husband

and I drink a very small amount of orange juice (1-2 ounces). It seems to help with acid reflux or heart-burn.

We were planning a trip and didn’t want to carry around a large container of OJ, but wanted some to have in the hotel room at night. I knew orange-fla-vored drinks came in smaller containers, and one day I came across small con-tainers of real orange juice in the cooler section of the store.

These are kid-size and are easy to keep cold in the ice bucket at a hotel. They also have a small opening for a straw so they don’t spill eas-ily. This allowed us to have OJ at night without having to lug the extra weight of a large jug. -- Sandy S., Ten-nessee Colony, Texas

LETTER OF LAUGHTERDear Heloise: Last year,

I noticed my 12-year-old daughter ironing her shirt

one morning before school. As I took a closer look, I re-alized she didn’t even have the iron plugged in. I asked her why she didn’t have the iron on, and her reply was, “The tag says to use a cool iron.” -- J.F., Frankton, Ind.

A BETTER PAPER-CLIP CONTAINER

Dear Heloise: I work in an office and kept my paper clips in a small container on my desk. My mom sews and has a circular dish with a magnet inside -- her metal pins stick to it. I got the idea of using one for my paper clips. It works way better than the small container, and my clips are easier to retrieve. -- Emily T., Austin, Texas

REMEMBER THE DATEDear Heloise: To keep

canned goods rotating in my pantry, we always write the month and year of expira-tion on the top of the cans so that we will know which ones to use first. It is easier to see than any expiration date that may already be on the can! -- R.P., Cedar Hill, Texas

Bridge Phillip Alder

Deyth Banger, an English writer, said, “I want two things from you: First, answer ‘Why’ questions, and

second, wait before you make your conclusion.”

That isn’t a bad thought process for a bridge player. Why should you play one card rather than another? Before you choose, is there something better?

In this deal, South reaches our favorite contract, three no-trump. What should he do after West leads a fourth-highest spade five?

In the auction, North’s two-club rebid was New Minor Forcing (recom-mended), asking opener for more information. South’s two-diamond continuation denied three-card heart sup-port.

South can see eight top

tricks: one spade (given the lead), three hearts, three diamonds and one club. If hearts are 3-3, declarer will have no worries. But if he must lose a heart trick, he might then concede too many spade tricks.

The first key play is to put up dummy’s spade queen at trick one. If East can take the trick and return the suit, South ducks, wins the third spade, and works to keep West off the lead. Here, though, East plays low. Now declarer must try to stop East from winning a trick. South, rather than play-ing hearts from the top, should lead a low heart from the board and cover East’s card as cheaply as possible.

Here, West takes declar-er’s nine with his jack, but has no winning con-tinuation. His best play is

a club shift, but South wins with dummy’s ace, plays a heart to his king, returns to dummy with a diamond, and takes his nine winners: one spade, four hearts, three diamonds and one club.

NOSE TACKLE: Re-injured knee in spring FROM B1

And he probably won’t jump out to you on the stat sheet. He has five tackles through three games this year, none for loss.

Where you’re most likely to notice Appleby is before a crucial third down, when the fifth-year senior encour-ages the War Memorial Stadium crowd to make some noise — or when he does it again after a big stop.

But his team notices him. They notice even more when he’s not there. And they know what it took for him to get back.

------Appleby’s games are num-

bered.“I know my playing days

are probably limited after this,” Appleby said. “So as many games as I can get, I’ll take.”

At the beginning of the season, the 6-foot, 256-pound Appleby hoped that that number might be 12. After suffering an MCL injury last season and re-injuring the knee in the spring, he just hoped he could get one more full season out of the knee.

Wyoming hopes so, too.Though the num-

bers might not show it, Appleby’s play is key to creating tackles for other players on the defense.

“He’s gained a lot of confi-dence in who he is now and how he plays,” defensive tackles coach Pete Kaligis said. “He sees things better. Obviously, when you’ve got that many pictures under your belt, that many reps, that’s what’s expected of you.”

For Conner Cain, who starts alongside Appleby at defensive tackle, Appleby’s success comes down to three things:

Speed.“I think my speed and

quickness helps me get around those bigger guys,”

said Appleby, a native of Frisco, Texas.

Smarts.“He’s an instinctive play-

er,” said Cain, a sophomore. “He plays fast because he knows what’s going to hap-pen before it happens.”

And passion.“He loves the game,”

Cain told the Casper Star-Tribune. “So I would say you put those three things together, it’s a pretty cool combination.”

It’s a combination that makes Appleby a successful leader on a defensive line full of youth.

“He’s always fired up,” Cain said. “I’m kind of a quieter guy, kind of doing my business, but he’s all about the crowd. Yeah, but again, that gets the defense fired up. Whatever works.”

------Appleby lost five games

last year.The knee injury he suf-

fered in the Cowboys’ sev-enth game — a 28-21 victory over Nevada — kept him sidelined the rest of the sea-son.

“So I had about three months of just sitting around and then about March I came back and I hurt it again,” Appleby said. “It’s just been on and off.”

The road back wasn’t easy. Especially with the detour of an injury aggra-vation.

“He had a pretty good sea-son up until Nevada when he went out last year, and you could just see on his face and his body language it was really hard for him,” Cain said. “And it was hard for the rest of us, because you just had to make up a lot of ground because he’s a really good player.”

Against Nevada, Wyoming’s defense gave up 118 rushing yards as the Cowboys picked up their first win of 2015. It was the second lowest total Wyoming had allowed on the ground up to that point.

Without Appleby, teams averaged more than 240 yards on the ground the rest of the season.

“It was really hard, because they would travel and I’d be staying home,” Appleby said.

But for Appleby, the toughest part came the fol-lowing summer.

“He did his own thing on the side,” Cain said, “but it was really hard for him to just watch every day at workouts.”

Not to mention all the work Appleby had to put in.

“It’s hot (and) they have to send you out there and you have to run for them,” Appleby said. “It’s kind of annoying, but it’s what you’ve got to do.”

He was fitted for a knee brace, which has helped, but the biggest aid was the platelet-rich plasma therapy he had done.

It’s not an easy procedure, but it has done wonders.

“Basically they pull like 120 CCs from your arm and they put it in a centrifuge and they stir it,” Appleby said. “I don’t even know what comes to the top, but it’s like orange juice from your blood. It’s kind of gross, and they shoot it into your knee, and it basically like hard-casts the inside of your knee. It helps the heal-ing process, so I did that, and it was pretty painful, but it worked out.”

Appleby said the knee is holding up even better than he had hoped.

“It feels good,” he said. “You don’t even notice it when you’re in the game. You get that adrenaline going. You just kind of for-get about it.”

And in addition to rehab-bing his knee, Appleby has added about 18 pounds since last season, “give or take depending on how much I ate that day,” he said.

“I think he’s bounced back extremely well,” Cain said. “If anything, he’s faster than he was last year. So these workouts that he did

over the summer have real-ly helped.”

After an unrelated ankle injury, Appleby was in a boot in practice the week before the UC Davis game. Come game time, he was ready to go.

It’s what the Cowboys have come to expect.

“I’ve seen perseverance with that young man,” Kaligis said.

------Appleby would like to add

one more game.Like the rest of Wyoming’s

roster, Appleby has never played in a bowl game with the Cowboys. This year is his last chance.

“Oh, man,” he said. “If we could get to a bowl game, that’d be great. I’ve never been. The year before I got here, they went to the New Mexico Bowl, and I really wanted to do that. Hopefully I can get a ring before I get out of here.”

If the Cowboys do get there, Wyoming’s run defense is sure to be a big reason why. Wyoming has already picked up two wins so far this season — as many as it had all of last year — with four more needed to secure a bowl berth.

The Cowboys have been markedly improved against the ground in those three games. Last season, run defense was a glaring weak-ness for the Cowboys. They allowed 5.28 yards per run, 12th worst among all FBS teams. This year, Wyoming is allowing just 3.25 yards per rush and its per-game average is down from 225.2 to 115 yards — 39th in the country.

“We’re not getting knocked off the football,” head coach Craig Bohl said, “and that’s allowed our linebackers to really come in and be able to move and make some tackles, and I think we’ve had some good tackling from our secondary as well.”

Some of that is no doubt because of the defensive line’s added muscle. The linemen all bulked up, most noticeably Carl Granderson, who added about 40 pounds of lean muscle.

But it never hurts to have a senior starter back and healthy.

And while it doesn’t nec-essarily show up on the stat sheet, the performance of the interior linemen like Appleby is a big part of why opposing running backs have had minimal success finding holes in Wyoming’s defense this season.

“A lot of times those guys aren’t making the tackles,” Bohl said. “But we’ve done a good job thus far establish-ing the line of scrimmage. ...and so I think you need to attribute that to the front four guys.”

That success has made playing with one another a lot more fun — and, of course, the early wins don’t hurt.

“Every film Sunday, we come in and we just enjoy watching it,” Appleby said, noting a difference from last season. “It looks good. And I think the other teams are recognizing that. I saw some comments coaches were making about our defense, and that’s pretty cool.”

UC Davis Ron Gould com-mended Wyoming’s defense before the game and the Cowboys held Aggies back Manusamoa Luuga, who had averaged 120 rushing yards up to that point, to 26 yards on 13 carries.

“Understanding the defense has gotten better,” Cain said. “So, I mean, I think that just makes for easier fits.”

A lot of the linemen’s understanding comes from Appleby.

“(He sets) an example with his play,” Cain said. “The guys really feed off that. When you get a guy who goes that hard all the time and is always around the ball, it just makes you want to play better.”

REDS: Votto left game with cut on chinFROM B1

Molina and Jedd Gyorko hit solo hom-ers for the Cardinals.

Seung Hwan Oh (6-3) wound up with the win after blowing his third save in 21 tries this season.

Cincinnati scored single runs in the eighth and ninth.

Pinch hitter Scott Schebler had a two-out, two-strike infield single to make it 3-all.

Gyorko hit his team-high 28th homer off starter Dan Straily in the second. Molina hit his eighth homer in the fifth.

“That was about as good as it gets for me,” Gyorko said. “It was a good swing.”

Molina said the come-from-behind win should give his club plenty of momen-tum going into a final weekend series with the Pirates.

“At the end, we put together some good at-bats,” Molina said.

St. Louis rookie Alex Reyes, in his fifth major league start, gave up one run on seven hits in a 99-pitch outing. He struck out six and walked two.

Reyes, who lowered his ERA to 1.57, also drove in the go-ahead run with a groundout.

Cincinnati closed to within 3-2 in the

eighth on a double by Joey Votto and an RBI single by Duvall.

Votto, who had three hits, left the game after sustaining a cut to his chin while sliding into second base. He took seven stitches.

The Reds have scored first in their last seven games.

TRAINER’S ROOMReds: INF Brandon Phillips was held

out of the lineup for the second succes-sive game with a sore left hand suffered on a swing Monday night.

Cardinals: OF Brandon Moss was given the day off. He is mired in a 7-for-95 skid.

UP NEXTReds: RHP Josh Smith (3-2, 4.77) will

face the Chicago Cubs in the opener of a three-game series in Cincinnati on Friday. He will be making his second start of the season and 32nd. appear-ance.

Cardinals: RHP Carlos Martinez (15-9, 3.15) will oppose Pittsburgh RHP Tyler Glasnow (0-1, 4.91) in the opener of a three-game set on Friday at Busch Stadium. Martinez is 3-5 with a 4.01 ERA lifetime against Pittsburgh. Glasnow will be making his fourth start of the season.
