Carter 

candidate 

in Ward 2 

From staff reports 

George Carter of Sheridan, who 

was instrumental in getting the city 

administrator question on the ballot 

in February, announced this morning 

that he will run for the Ward 2 

City Council seat held by John 

Bigelow, who has said he will most 

likely run. 

Jon St. Pierre has filed for Ward 

2 City Council. He could not be 

reached for comment this morning. 

Carter says as a councilman he 

would 

oppose any 

attempt to 

reintroduce 

the city 

administrator 

ordinance 

and 

that he supports

alternatives 

to hiring an 

administrator 

such as 

hiring a 

grants writer or contracting with a 

financial consultant. 

Carter said he thinks City Hall 

needs to constrain spending and 

direct funds toward infrastructure 

repairs and downtown revitalization. 

He said he would work to 

bring more affordable housing and 

support local businesses. 

He said he would also work to 

build more and cheaper trails in the 

city. He said he would like to build 

a joint city-county horse trail. 

And he said he would work to 

bring back a “fair grievance 

process” for city employees to protect 

them from wrongful termination. 

Carter said he is the director for 

Taxpayer Advocates for Sheridan 

County and the publisher of Our 

Town, a local flyer. 

He said he helped organize the 

Sheridan Downtown Alliance, 

which he called a “fledgling business 

organization.” He said he 

attends Sheridan County Public 

Land Users Committee meetings. 

Carter said he is a Sheridan 

native and fourth-generation

Wolfgang Fey of Dillenburg, Germany, takes a close look at handcrafted saddles entered in the Don King Memorial Saddle 

Contest at the Rocky Mountain Leather Trade Show at the Holiday Inn on Thursday.

Special contributor to The Press 

An estimated 400 to 500 leather 

trade show participants showed up in 

the area behind King’s Saddlery on 

Main Street on Thursday evening for 

the annual King Gathering and barbecue. 

The event is exclusively for vendors 

who are exhibiting their wares in 

the Rocky Mountain Leather Trade 

Show that opened this morning at 

Sheridan’s Holiday Inn & Convention 

Center. 

“We do this every year,” said Bruce 

King, owner of the business. “We get 

everybody together the first night, get 

close, get comfortable — and talk 

about leather.”

Following a public hearing 

Thursday in which no one from the 

public spoke, the Sheridan College 

board of trustees renewed its optional 

1 mill property tax levy for SC’s 

separate 1 mill fund. 

Every Wyoming county with a 

community college district is granted 

the optional 1 mill levy by the 

Wyoming Legislature, and it can be 

renewed every two years, said SC 

Chief Financial Officer Cheryl 

Heath. 

The 1 mill fund is used for onetime 

expenditures such as classroom 

technical equipment, she 

said. 

The college’s total mill levy is 

5.5 — 4 for the college’s operating 

fund and 0.5 for the Board of 

Cooperative Higher Education 

Services.

hearing in which no one spoke,

Sheridan College trustees renew 1 mill levy, 

approve amended Hand-In-Hand application 

CHEYENNE (AP) — With old schools being torn 

down to make way for new ones around the state, 

Wyoming needs a policy and legislation to support 

preservation of the state’s historical resources, preservation 

experts said. 

Mary Humstone, a research scientist in American 

studies at the University of Wyoming, said historic 

school buildings are being lost in order to meet Wyoming 

Supreme Court mandates on public school building standards. 

“We historic preservationists were not there to determine 

that historic preservation is as important as square 

footage,” Humstone said. 

• Filing period 

opens to run 

for office 

early childhood education center. 

The center is a joint project 

between the college, Sheridan 

County School District 2, and the 

city of Sheridan. 

The WBC has asked the three 

entities to submit an amended 

grant proposal that will request the 

second half of their $3 million 

grant now instead of waiting until 

after the center has opened and 

begun to earn a profit. 

Deadline for the amended 

grant to be submitted to the WBC 

is June 15. 

UW researcher wants Wyoming history preserved 

The School Facilities Commission, which determines 

square footage of public schools, is not the only state 

agency that isn’t required to consider the importance of 

historical structures in its operations, she said. 

Humstone was one of the panelists who discussed 

challenges in Wyoming preservation during a historic 

preservation conference Thursday. It was sponsored by 

the Wyoming Business Council and the Wyoming 

Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources. 

Mary Hopkins, interim state historic preservation 

officer, said she would like to see a Wyoming registry of 

historic places established that would allow the state to 

decide what is and isn’t of historic value.

Burke Delehanty, of the C.S. Osborne Co. in Harrison, N.J., takes a 

closer look at handcrafted saddles entered in the Don King Memorial 

Saddle Contest at the Rocky Mountain Leather Trade Show at the 

Holiday Inn on Thursday. 

(Continued from Page 1) 

With assistance from local volunteers 

and contributors in preparing 

the food, the barbecue featured 

100 pounds of sausage — made at 

Sheridan College through its meats 

program — and 40 beef briskets, 

along with beans, potato salad and 

all the traditional trimmings. 

The trade show, open free to the 

public, is 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. today 

and Saturday and 9 a.m.-2 p.m. 

Sunday. 

Other highlights are a reception 

starting at 6 p.m. today for trade 

show participants at Sheridan 

Leather Outfitters on Coffeen 

Avenue, and the annual awards banquet 

at 6 p.m. Saturday at the 

Holiday Inn. 

The banquet is open to the public. 

Tickets are $36 and may be purchased 

during the trade show today 

and Saturday. 

In addition to leather craftspeople, 

show participants include tanners 

and manufacturers of sewing 

machines, saddle stands, stamping 

and carving tools, knives, mallets, 

saddletrees, thread, lace, needles, 

dyes, finishes, how-to books and 

other equipment for leather workers. 

The show is sponsored by

Mills man charged with possession 

of controlled substance pleads guilty 


A Mills man charged with two 

counts of possession of a controlled 

substance with intent to 

distribute changed his plea to 

guilty Wednesday — the day his 

jury trial was to begin in 

Sheridan District Court, according 

to County Attorney Matt 

Redle. 

Ira Tucker, 54, possessed a quarter-pound 

of marijuana and 5 grams 

of methamphetamine, charging documents 

state. He previously pleaded 

not guilty to the charges. 

Redle said there is no plea deal in 

the case. 

He added that sentencing has 

not been scheduled and that 

Tucker faces up to 30 years in 

prison and a $35,000 fine. 

Tucker was arrested on the 

charges in April 2007, when he 

was pulled over on Interstate 90 

in Sheridan County during a 

Wyoming Division of Criminal 

Investigation case. 

The Sheridan Press on Tuesday 

incorrectly reported that Tucker 

was charged with four counts — 

two counts of possession and two 

counts of conspiracy to deliver. 

Redle said the charges were 

amended in the fall. 

New music certificate program at SC 



A new Music Technology Certificate program is 

available at Sheridan College that will “provide students 

with relevant theoretical and practical knowledge 

of the latest advances in music technology 

while fostering the development of musical creativity 

and professional skills as used throughout the 

industry,” according the program description. 

The college board of trustees approved the 

program, which consists of 10 credit hours, at 

its regular meeting Thursday. 

One new course — a music portfolio — will 

be added to the music curriculum to fulfill the 

certificate requirements. The program description 

adds: 

“The program is suited for preparing students 

to become music teachers, performing 

musicians, composers, sound engineers, and 

Whirling disease at Ten Sleep hatchery 

does not stop fish stocking in state 

CASPER (AP) — Wyoming waters scheduled 

to be stocked this year should receive at least 90 

percent of the original fish numbers requested 

despite an outbreak of whirling disease earlier this 

year at the Ten Sleep Fish Hatchery, the state Game 

and Fish Department said. 

Fish culture personnel from all 10 state hatcheries 

and fish rearing stations were able to reallocate 

fish requests and adjust egg numbers to cover 

the majority of shortages, the agency said. 

“We were able to meet the vast majority of 

stocking requests by adjusting the present inventories 

at the other eight hatcheries, reducing existing 

numbers requested and adding fish into the system 

from spring eggs,” Steve Sharon, fish culture supervisor 

for the department, said. 

Schedules were also adjusted for 2009 because 

Ten Sleep Hatchery will continue to be out of production 

until sources of the contamination can be 

eliminated. 

Although the cause of the whirling disease 

infection at the Ten Sleep Fish Hatchery has yet 

to be determined, it is believed that surface water 

from nearby Ten Sleep Creek or Leigh Creek 

contaminated the hatchery water supply. 

A total of 477,500 fish of all sizes, totaling 

21,500 pounds, were removed from the hatchery 

and destroyed. The majority of the fish were 

small fingerlings and fish that were to be grown 

and stocked in 2009. Outside of maintaining the 

Yellowstone cutthroat brood stock and limited 

egg incubation, all fish production has been suspended 

at Ten Sleep until a full assessment is 

completed. 

Game and Fish has asked the State Building 

Commission to consider funding a proposal to 

renovate Ten Sleep Hatchery by July 2011. 

“Ten Sleep Hatchery plays a critical part in 

the overall hatchery system,” Sharon said. 

multimedia designers. It is also appropriate for 

hobbyists interested in using technology to 

create and record music. 

“Emphasis is placed on exposure to a wide 

range of techniques and applications, allowing 

students to acquire versatility and a competitive 

edge within the field of professional 

music.”

Gene Sager at 674-6446. 

Driver’s license exams 

go tech in Wyoming 

CODY (AP) — Instead of using a pencil and 

paper, people taking the state’s written driver’s 

license exam will now be using a computer. 

The Wyoming Department of 

Transportation’s Driver Services will be piloting 

an automated driver’s license exam system in 

Cheyenne over the next few weeks. 

After the pilot phase is finished, 65 computers 

will be installed at the 29 driver’s license 

locations throughout the state by June 20. 

WYDOT spokesman Cody Beers says the 

new system will be a time-saver for drivers and 

employees alike. 

Beers says the automated system will eliminate 

the need to manually score tests, and will 

make the testing more efficient and faster.

Senate votes to roll back media ownership rule 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The 

Senate Thursday night voted to nullify 

a Federal Communications 

Commission rule that allows media 

companies to own a newspaper and 

a television station in the same market. 

The unusual “resolution of disapproval,” 

sponsored by Sen. Byron 

Dorgan, D-N.D., and 26 other senators, 

was approved by a voice vote. 

The measures sponsors include both 

Democratic candidates for president, 

Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton 

of New York and Barack Obama of 

Illinois. 

Republican FCC Chairman 

Kevin Martin has described the 

agency’s action as a “relatively 

minor loosening” of broadcast 

media ownership restrictions. The 

rule was approved by the FCC on a 

3-2 party-line vote in December 

with both Democrats dissenting. 

The FCC decision allows one 

company to own a newspaper and a 

broadcast station in the nation’s 20 

largest metropolitan areas. The TV 

station may not be among the top four 

in the market, and post-transaction, at 

least eight independent media voices 

must remain. The rule replaced an 

outright ban on cross-ownership.

Housing posts surprising 

rebound in April 

WASHINGTON (AP) — 

Construction of new homes posted 

the biggest increase in more than 

two years in April, a rare spot of 

good news amid the worst downturn 

in housing in more than two 

decades. 

The Commerce Department 

reported Friday that housing construction 

rose by 8.2 percent in April 

to a seasonally adjusted annual rate 

of 1.03 million units. Building of 

single-family homes continued to 

weaken, however. The growth came 

from a big jump in apartment construction. 

Still, the overall gain represented 

recovery after a steep slump in 

March building pushed activity to 

the slowest pace in 17 years. 

The surprising rebound was 

expected to be temporary given the 

headwinds builders are confronting, 

from slumping sales to soaring 

home foreclosures. 

The strength in April came 

entirely from a huge increase in 

apartment construction, which can 

be extremely volatile from month to 

month. Apartment building, defined 

as two or more units, jumped by 36 

percent to a seasonally adjusted 

annual rate of 340,000 units. 

The larger single-family sector 

dropped by 1.7 percent to an annual 

rate of 692,000 units. 

Applications for building permits, 

considered a good sign of 

future activity, also recorded an 

increase in April, rising by 4.9 percent 

to 978,000 units. It was the first 

gain in permits in five months. 

But economists believe that 

housing construction will remain 

under pressure until builders have 

more success in reducing a huge 

backlog of unsold homes. 

That effort is being made more 

difficult by a record wave of foreclosures 

as millions of borrowers lose 

their homes because they cannot 

keep up with escalating payments, 

particularly on subprime mortgages, 

loans extended to people with weak 

credit histories. 

By region of the country, construction 

posted the largest gain in 

the Midwest, an increase of 24.4 

percent when compared to March. 

Construction rose 18.5 percent in the 

West and was up 3.6 percent in the 

South. However, construction fell by 

12.7 percent in the Northeast. 

Even with the improvement, 

housing construction nationwide 

was 30.6 percent below the level of 

activity a year ago. 

The National Association of 

Home Builders reported Thursday 

that its monthly survey of builder 

sentiment edged down in May to a 

reading of 19, just above the all-time 

low of 18 set in December. The survey 

had held steady at the low level 

of 20 from February through April. 

David Seiders, the group’s chief 

economist, said that conditions in 

the industry have continued to deteriorate.

THE 

Press SHERIDAN Friday,

May 16, 2008 

Israel is not a 

freedom franchise, 

Mr. President 

Don't know why I bother. The man is leaving office in 

eight months, his presidency noticeably marked by the 

uneven tread of the lame duck. But so long as George W. 

Bush is commander in chief, there remains something mesmerizing 

about the way he seems to experience his momentous 

tenure virtually unscratched, even ungrazed, by his 

many brushes (collisions) with history. 

I'm not suggesting callousness on his part regarding 

American casualties in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, or 

regarding American civilian casualties due to Islamic terrorism. 

I think he feels such losses very deeply. In fact, I 

think he feels everything very deeply. Whether the subject 

is his feelings about Mexican illegal aliens, the war in Iraq 

or on-off Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers, I think 

Bush's presidency, at its base, has been an emotional presidency, 

more gut-driven and temporal 

than attuned to anything like 

that sweep of history you hear 

about. 

I point this out on reading the 

president's remarks in Israel to 

mark the 60th anniversary of the 

nation's statehood. 

"I suspect," Bush said, "if you 

looked back 60 years ago and tried 

Diana 

West 

Columnist 

to guess where Israel would be at 

that time, it would be hard to be 

able to project such a prosperous, 

hopeful land. No question people 

would have said, well, we'd be surrounded 

by hostile forces — but I doubt people would have 

been able to see the modern Israel, which is one reason I 

bring such optimism to the Middle East, because what happened 

here is possible everywhere." 

Let's run that last bit by again. The president says the 

singular experience of "modern Israel" is one reason for 

optimism in the Middle East "because what happened here 

(Israel) is possible everywhere." 

The jaw drops. On recovery, I suppose the most direct 

response to this statement, better suited to a beauty-pageant 

Pollyanna than a war-scarred president, is: No, Mr. 

President. What happened in Israel is not possible everywhere. 

Just for starters, what happened in Israel happened 

to a people whose monotheism and ethics, as Martin 

Gilbert writes in "Churchill and the Jews," was, in 

Churchill's view, "a central factor in the evolution and 

maintenance of modern civilization" — a central factor in 

liberty and democracy as the West still knows it. 

This is not, to understate the case, something that may 

be said about the Islamic rest of the Middle East. Besides, 

what happened in Israel — the modern incarnation of the 

ancient Jewish nation that today enshrines freedom of conscience, 

freedom of speech, rule of law, women's rights, etc. 

— is also anathema (anti-Islamic) to the Islamic Middle 

East, which to this day seeks or plots Israel's annihilation, 

not in what has become a sham territorial dispute, but rather 

to deny infidels (former dhimmis, to boot) a foothold in 

what Muslims regard as once-Muslim land. 

To President Bush, though, the un-Islamic conditions 

culminating in an anti-Islamic event — 60 years of infidel 

liberty — constitute a pre-fab democracy franchise that 

might just as easily have opened up in Riyadh or Baghdad 

as in Tel Aviv. I think he sees it this way because, emotionally, 

he wants to see it this way. 

So, why aren't we now celebrating 60 years of infidelstyle 

liberty in Saudi Arabia or Iraq? 

This must be an enduring puzzle to Bush, for just as he 

seems blind to the singular qualities of Judaism that root 

Israel within the Western tradition, he seems blind to the 

equally singular (but not overlapping) qualities of Islam 

that leave it outside. Distinguishing between the two traditions 

is the height of political incorrectness, let alone shattering 

to the multicultural vision of the Middle East that the 

Bush administration has made the basis of its democratization 

policy. All we need, the president will say just as he 

told Politico this week, is "the advance of freedom throughout 

the Middle East ... it's the best way to keep us secure." 

Since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in 2003, that 

"advance of freedom" has mainly empowered Iran, 

Hezbollah, Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood — not my 

idea of "secure." Of course, not my idea of "freedom," 

either. But we're supposed to forget the fact that Westernstyle 

freedom is actually antithetical to Islamic law. In fact, 

we're supposed to forget about Islamic law. Given the 

administration's new lexicon that quashes most official references 

to Islam, we're supposed to forget about Islam, too. 

The president sure has. What happened here is possible 

everywhere. What happened everywhere is possible here. 

What's the difference when seeing what you want to see is 

believing?

City can afford tax cut, 

but not fire, ambulance pact? 

Editor: 

Mayor Kinskey has offered a $36 tax cut on property 

tax. With this cut, city residents would lose $632,000 

in revenue. 

City Assistant Clerk Mr. Badley has said, “If the tax 

cut passes, the city will have to reduce its budget.” 

What does this tax sneeze mean? Is this only election-year 

vote pandering, or has the mayor sneezed, 

and will the county catch the cold? 

The last time this mayor declared a revenue shortfall, 

the county residents lost ambulance and fire protection. 

I find it interesting that the city could not afford to 

continue the joint powers board fire and ambulance 

agreement, but the city can vote to create a budget 

shortfall. 

A shortfall that, if the budget were reduced for the 

city Public Works Department, might impact the 

Sheridan Area Water Supply Joint Powers Board. 

The city has never said that increased revenue from 

ad valorem tax on CBM production would allow for a 

mill reduction. Instead, the voters must believe this is 

tax relief. 

"What kind of America are we going 

to leave to our kids?" The question is the 

biggest cliche in American politics -- and 

the least seriously addressed major issue. 

Because, in fact, the now-retiring 

baby boom generation is passing on to its 

children an America buried in debt, woefully 

short on savings and investment and 

facing stupendous tasks we don't have 

any idea how to finance. 

The United States already ranks far 

behind its major economic competitors in 

health care outcomes, educational performance, 

environmental quality and 

national savings — threatening the country's 

world leadership and standard of living. 

The person who sounds the alarm 

about all this better than anyone else — 

and deserves to be vice president on 

either party's ticket — is David Walker, 

recently resigned as the head of the 

Government Accountability Office and 

now CEO of the Peter Peterson 

Foundation. 

A former Reagan administration official, 

Walker ran — and transformed — 

the GAO on an independent, bipartisan 

basis. He couldn't deliver any state or 

constituency, but he'd mark either party's 

presidential nominee as a determined, 

visionary reformer. 

From a fusty agency specializing in 

microanalysis and known as the General 

Accounting Office, Walker gave GAO a 

new name and turned it into a broadgauge 

investigator of waste and a tireless 

activist in the cause of economic sanity. 

Along with representatives from the 

Heritage Foundation, the Brookings 

Institution and the Concord Coalition,

Wants to recycle, but does not 

like soaking label off bottles 

Editor: 

We were enlightened to have the recycling representative 

come to Buffalo and speak of your new 

program. 

Because we in Buffalo do not recycle glass, milk 

jugs nor No. 1 water/soda bottles, I bring them to 

Sheridan. Up to this time, for the past 10 years, I 

took them to Gillette as a matter of stewardship. 

Having lived in several states over the past 25 

years, I have experienced many responsible recycling 

programs; however, they have not determined 

labels need to be removed. 

It is cumbersome having your sink filled every 

day trying to soak off labels from bottles and jars. 

Could you not include this task in your recycling 

program as other municipalities have? I am sure you 

would have a better response from residents. 

Walker traveled the country on 

a "fiscal wake-up tour" to make 

people aware of the unsustainability 

of America's long-term 

finances. 

The killer statistic that tour 

participants emphasized was 

that, by 2040, three federal programs 

— Social Security, 

Medicare and Medicaid, plus 

interest on the national debt — 

are scheduled to consume 20 

percent of gross domestic product, 

or what the federal government 

now spends for all its functions. 

That's practically a dictionary definition 

of "unsustainable." It means that the 

next generation of workers will have to 

have its taxes more than doubled. 

In reams of reports and pungent 

speeches, Walker has struck a loud series 

of gongs about all levels of debt and 

unfunded obligations, the challenges of 

an aging population and the consequences 

of inaction. He also outlined proposed 

solutions — all politically difficult. 

Walker's principal mantra is "no more 

entitlement programs that are not paid 

for." Last week he denounced congressional 

plans to spend $52 billion over 10 

years on a new GI bill guaranteeing college 

benefits to veterans. 

"No matter how laudable the purpose 

or well-intentioned the program," he said, 

"if it's that important, we ought to pay for 

it." 

He also declared the Medicare prescription 

drug bill passed in 2003 "the 

most fiscally irresponsible legislation in 

decades." 

The easiest-to-understand level of 

Carole Shelby 

Buffalo 

"national debt" is "debt held 

by the public" — the accumulation 

of federal fiscal 

deficits. This number has 

climbed during the Bush 

administration from $3.4 

trillion to $5 trillion — or 

36.8 percent of the gross 

domestic product. 

According to the GAO, 

that will rise to 62.7 percent 

of the GDP by 2020 and 250 

percent by 2040. The highest 

that figure has ever reached 

was 109 percent in 1946. 

As Walker pointed out to me in an 

interview, post-World War II U.S. debt 

was all owed to Americans. Now, half of 

it — and 75 percent of new debt — is 

owed to foreigners. 

But there are other measures of excessive 

debt accumulated by the United 

States. As of March 2008, the federal 

government's total outstanding debt, 

including sums owed by Social Security 

and other trust funds, was $9.4 trillion, up 

from $5.6 trillion when Bush took office. 

Then there is the total of long-term 

obligations incurred by current federal 

law — mainly retirement benefits and 

Medicaid for the poor — which comes to 

an astounding $53 trillion over the next 

75 years, representing 90 percent of the 

total net worth of American households, 

or $175,000 per person or $410,000 per 

full-time worker. 

Piled on top of all that comes 

America's huge trade imbalance and the 

personal debt — and lack of savings — of 

ordinary citizens that used to be offset by 

rising home values but no longer is.

thank MDU for gas pipeline 

Editor: 

Thank you, MDU! 

Over the past few months we had contracted with 

Montana-Dakota Utilities for the installation of a natural 

gas pipeline to the property owners within our subdivision 

as well as to the Big Horn Events Center. 

Our working relationship during this project with 

the utility company and its supervisor, Mr. William 

Pettit, was outstanding, and we are greatly indebted to 

both Mr. Pettit and his company for all their good 

efforts. 

From the early planning stages, when Mr. Pettit 

made a thorough presentation to our homeowners, 

until the final installation of the gas line, this project 

was completed competently, carefully, and expeditiously. 

Thank you, Mr. Pettit, and all those who worked 

with you, for making this valuable addition to our subdivision 

such a rewarding and pleasant experience.

"We've not only burdened our children 

with debt," Walker told me, "but 

we're not investing in them. We're not 

investing in them, but we expect them to 

pay the bills." 

A just-issued report by the children's 

advocacy group, First Focus, shows that 

federal outlays for children's programs 

have increased by only $2.8 billion in the 

past four years, while spending for seniors 

increased by $140 billion. 

As Walker put it in a recent speech, 

"current fiscal policy is creating an unfair 

and unethical relationship between 

today's citizens and tomorrow's taxpayers. 

Baby boomers and current retirees 

benefit from today's higher spending and 

lower tax policies, while our children and 

grandchildren will be expected to pay the 

bill for today's excessive consumption." 

Walker advocates a series of reforms, 

starting with shaving future entitlement 

benefits, controlling health care costs and 

changing the tax code to reward savings 

and investment. 

He'd be a challenge for either party's 

ticket or administration. And yet, Walker 

has the best strategy of anyone to answer 

the question: "What kind of America will 

we leave to our kids?" It's really the most 

important question of the 2008 election. 

If the next president won't nominate 

Walker — as I expect — then he or she 

emphatically should listen to him.

10-year-old 

scholar takes 

Calif. college 

by storm 

DOWNEY, Calif. (AP) — With the 

end of another school year approaching, 

college sophomore Moshe Kai 

Cavalin is cramming for final exams in 

classes such as advanced mathematics, 

foreign languages and music. 

But Cavalin is only 10 years old. 

And at 4-foot-7, his shoes don’t quite 

touch the floor as he puts down a 

schoolbook and swivels around in his 

chair to greet a visitor. 

“I’m studying statistics,” says the 

alternately precocious and shy Cavalin, 

his textbook lying open on the living 

room desk of his parents’ apartment in 

this quiet suburb east of Los Angeles. 

Within a year, if he keeps up his 

grades and completes the rest of his 

requirements, he hopes to transfer from 

his two-year program at East Los 

Angeles College to a prestigious fouryear 

school and study astrophysics. 

One of his primary interests is 

“wormholes,” a hypothetical scientific 

phenomenon connected to Albert 

Einstein’s theory of relativity. It has 

been theorized that if such holes do 

exist in space, they could — in tandem 

with black holes — allow for the kind 

of space-age time travel seen in science 

fiction. 

“Just like black holes, they suck in 

particulate objects, and also like black 

holes, they also travel at escape velocity, 

which is, the speed to get out of there 

is faster than the speed of light,” 

Cavalin says. “I’d like to prove that 

wormholes are really there and prove 

all the theories are correct.” 

First, he has statistics homework to 

finish. Later, he’ll work with his mother, 

Shu Chen Chien, to brush up on his 

Mandarin for his Chinese class. Then 

it’s over to the piano to prepare for his 

recital in music class.

Mich. city spends $5.21 to mail 51-cent tax bill 

BRIGHTON, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan 

doctor is getting a laugh out of a 51-cent property 

tax bill. 

It isn’t just that Phil Kazanji’s bill is so low. 

It’s that it cost the city of Brighton $5.21 to 

send it to him by certified mail. 

Kazanji says he first thought the amount 

was a mistake. Now he calls the whole thing 

“the most ridiculous thing a government 

agency would do.” 

City finance director Dave Gajda says 

Kazanji paid $158 on a bill for $158.48. The 

city penalized him 3 cents and sent him the new 

tab. 

Gajda says Brighton doesn’t have the 

authority to waive a portion of taxes. 

Kazanji says he’ll write out a check for 51 

cents and drop it off.

Bush appeasement jab 

brings quick Obama retort 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Barack Obama 

accused President Bush of “a false political 

attack” Thursday after Bush warned in Israel 

against appeasing terrorists — early salvos 

in a general election campaign that’s already 

blazing even as the Democratic front-runner 

tries to sew up his party’s nomination. 

The White House denied Bush had targeted 

Obama, who said the Republican 

commander in chief’s intent was obvious. 

In short order, the controversy spilled 

across the presidential campaign. 

John McCain, the Republican nominee 

in waiting, said Obama was showing 

“naiveté and inexperience and lack of judgment” 

in his willingness to meet with U.S. 

foes. 

Hillary Rodham Clinton then called Bush’s original 

comments “offensive and outrageous, especially in light 

of his failures in foreign policy.” 

As the workday began stateside, Bush gave a speech 

to Israel’s Knesset in which he spoke of the president of 

Iran, who has called for the destruction of the U.S. ally. 

Then, the president said: “Some seem to believe that we 

should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if 

some ingenious argument will persuade them they have 

been wrong all along.” 

“We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi 

tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator 

declared: ’Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all 

this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to 

call this what it is — the false comfort of appeasement, 

Barack 

Obama 

Presidential 

Hopeful 

which has been repeatedly discredited by 

history,” Bush added. 

With the president abroad and those seeking 

to succeed him campaigning at home, the 

transcontinental tiff signaled the early direction 

of the general election. Bush seemed to 

assume the traditional lame-duck presidential 

role in trying to help the Republican nomineein-waiting, 

and Obama tried to maneuver for 

advantage — and to show strength — while 

on the cusp of clinching the Democratic nomination. 

McCain played his political role as well in 

tandem with Obama, notable for two White 

House hopefuls who are campaigning for a 

bipartisan governing approach free of the 

often divisive discourse in Washington. 

By tradition, partisan politics comes to a halt when a 

U.S. president is on foreign soil, and Bush’s remarks led 

Obama to quickly cry foul. The first-term Illinois senator 

responded to the comments as if they were criticism of his 

position that as president he would be willing to personally 

meet with Iran’s leaders and those of other regimes the 

United States has deemed rogue. 

“It is sad that President Bush would use a speech to the 

Knesset on the 60th anniversary of Israel’s independence 

to launch a false political attack,” Obama said in a statement 

his aides distributed. “George Bush knows that I 

have never supported engagement with terrorists, and the 

president’s extraordinary politicization of foreign policy 

and the politics of fear do nothing to secure the American 

people or our stalwart ally Israel. 

Clinton scolds McCain 

for opposing farm bill 

BATH, S.D. (AP) — Hillary 

Rodham Clinton scolded John 

McCain on Thursday for opposing 

the farm bill, attempting to maintain 

the sense that she 

is already competing 

against the certain 

Republican presidential 

nominee even as 

her chances for winning 

the Democratic 

nomination dim. 

As she chatted up 

rural South Dakotans, 

Clinton largely ignored 

Hillary 

Clinton 

Presidential 

Hopeful 

Democratic rival 

Barack Obama, who 

continued to gain 

ground in delegates 

needed to clinch the 

nomination and picked up a 

sought-after endorsement from 

former Sen. John Edwards this 

week. 

Clinton noted that President 

Bush has said he will veto the farm 

bill, which Congress passed 

Thursday. McCain also has said he 

would veto the bill if he were president. 

“They’re like two sides of the 

same coin, and it doesn’t amount 

to much change, does it?” the New 

York senator said. “I believe saying 

no to the farm bill is saying no 

to rural America.” 

Bush and McCain both say the 

bill, which boosts farm 

subsidies and includes 

more money for food 

stamps, is fiscally irresponsible 

and too generous 

to wealthy corporate 

farmers. 

“When Bear 

Stearns needed assistance, 

we stepped in 

with a $30 billion 

package. But when our 

farmers need help, all 

they get from Senator 

McCain and President 

Bush is a veto threat,” 

Clinton said. 

Obama applauded the bill’s 

passage in a statement released by 

his campaign, saying the measure 

was “far from perfect,” but “with 

so much at stake, we cannot make 

the perfect the enemy of the good.” 

The Illinois senator also chided 

McCain and Bush for “saying no 

to America’s farmers and ranchers, 

no to energy independence, no to 

the environment, and no to millions 

of hungry people.”

IRS says up to 350,000 

didn’t get child credit 

WASHINGTON (AP) — As many as 350,000 

households are not getting the $300 per child refund 

owed as part of economic stimulus rebate payments, 

the Internal Revenue Service said Thursday. 

The IRS says taxpayers’ error and problems with 

commercial tax preparation software were responsible 

for the problem affecting a tiny percentage of the 

130 million taxpayers expected to benefit from the 

refunds the government began sending out last 

month. 

IRS spokesman Terry Lemons said the agency was 

confident it had identified all the people affected by 

the mistake. He said the IRS will send letters to those 

who missed out on the refund and that checks for the 

child credit will be mailed in July. People need not 

contact the IRS or file additional paperwork, he said. 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The 

Democratic-led House on Thursday rejected 

more funds to pay for the wars in Iraq 

and Afghanistan as many Republicans 

angry over the majority party’s tactics sat 

out the vote. It did approve more money for 

the jobless and an expansion of GI education 

benefits. 

In a rapid series of votes on the war 

funding bill and accompanying components, 

Republicans withheld their votes in 

protest, leading to the defeat of the Iraq 

funding legislation by a 149-141 tally. 

Nearly two-thirds of the House’s 

Democrats voted against continuing to 

fund the war. 

Democrats then forced through a nonbinding 

plan seeking an exit from Iraq by 

December of next year by a 224-196 vote 

that broke along party lines. 

Thirty-two Republicans joined with 

Democrats on a 256-166 vote to sharply 

boost education benefits for Iraq- 

Afghanistan veterans under the GI Bill — 

despite an accompanying tax surcharge on 

the wealthy and small businesses — and 

voted to provide a 13-week extension of 

unemployment benefits. 

The GOP protest kills the war funding 

component of the bill for now, but it is 

expected to be revived next week in the 

Senate. 

The White House weighed in again 

Thursday with a promise to veto the bill 

over the non-war spending,the new tax surcharge 

and restrictions on President Bush’s 

ability to conduct the war in Iraq. 

A total of 132 Republicans withheld 

their votes for the troops funding bill in 

protest,saying the strategy by Democrats to 

load the war funding measure with vetobait 

provisions would unnecessarily delay 

getting funding to troops in the field. 

The rebates, the centerpiece of the government’s 

$168 billion plan to revive the faltering economy, provide 

up to $600 for an individual and $1,200 for married 

couples, based on income levels. In addition, people are 

entitled to $300 for eligible children younger than 17. 

He said the problem on the child payments was 

traced to taxpayers’ failing to check a box on their paper 

tax returns and to two commercial tax preparation software 

programs, less than 1 percent of those in use, that 

were not capturing the information needed to trigger the 

payment. 

The IRS has already refunded some $27 billion to 

about 30 million taxpayers. It expects to hit 130 million 

refunds by the end of June, with the last checks — 

except for those who requested extensions in filing their 

returns and a few other exceptions — going out in July. 

House rejects bill funding 

Iraq and Afghanistan wars 

Mining group 

gives $40,000 

to help count 

sage grouse 

RENO, Nev. (AP) — One of the 

industries that stands to suffer from 

any restrictions related to the possible 

federal listing of the sage grouse 

is stepping up to the plate to help 

pay for population counts of the bird 

in Nevada. 

The Nevada Mining Association 

donated $40,000 to the Nevada 

Department of Wildlife to assist in 

the new assessment of the bird’s status, 

the state agency announced 

Friday. 

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service decided against declaring 

the bird threatened under the 

Endangered Species Act in January 

2005, but a federal judge in Idaho 

ruled in December that USFWS 

failed to use the best science in its 

previous decision. 

The agency has until December 

to issue a new decision. It has given 

wildlife agencies in 11 states until 

June 24 to update information on 

local populations, the threat they 

face and the steps being taken to 

conserve them. 

“The Nevada Mining Association 

recognized the importance of good 

science and stepped up to the plate,” 

said Dave Pulliam, chief of 

NDOW’s habitat division. 

“We need to prepare our data in 

the most appropriate and scientifically 

credible way, and this donation 

will allow that to take place,” he 

said. 

Both sides accused each other of using 

the must-pass troop funding bill for political 

advantage. 

“We’re playing political games on the 

backs of our troops — you know it,” said 

Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio. 

“All this bill’s going to do is delay the 

process for weeks and weeks and weeks 

while we play political games.” 

“With today’s vote, the Republicans 

have shown that they are confused and are 

in disarray,” countered House Speaker 

Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. “House 

Republicans refused to pay for a war they 

support, and by voting against the GI bill, 

they refused to support our veterans when 

they come home.” 

House action on the bill was the first act 

in a complicated legislative dance that 

promises to spill over into June, when the 

Pentagon will have to send out warnings of 

possible furloughs to civilian employees 

and contract workers. 

Democrats engineered the three-vote 

minuet to allow anti-war liberals to vote 

against funding the Iraq war. Republicans 

said the whole exercise was a waste of time, 

given Bush’s veto promise. 

The add-ons for the unemployed and 

the new college benefits under the GI Bill 

represented the price demanded by 

Democrats for approving Bush’s longstalled 

request for additional war funding. 

The new GI Bill essentially would 

guarantee a full scholarship at any in-state 

public university, along with a monthly 

housing stipend, for people who serve in 

the military for at least three years. It is 

aimed at replicating the benefits awarded 

veterans of World War II and would cost 

$52 billion over 10 years. 

To pay for it and adhere to budget rules 

requiring new benefit programs not add to 

the deficit, the Democratic plan would 

impose a surtax on individuals with 

incomes above $500,000. Couples would 

pay the tax on income exceeding $1 million.

Ants swarm over 

Houston area, 

fouling 

electronics 

DALLAS (AP) — In what sounds like a really low-budget 

horror film, voracious swarming ants that apparently arrived in 

Texas aboard a cargo ship are invading homes and yards across 

the Houston area, shorting out electrical boxes and messing up 

computers. 

The hairy, reddish-brown creatures are known as “crazy 

rasberry ants” — crazy, because they wander erratically 

instead of marching in regimented lines, and “rasberry” after 

Tom Rasberry, an exterminator who did battle against them 

early on. 

“They’re itty-bitty things about the size of fleas, and they’re 

just running everywhere,” said Patsy Morphew of Pearland, 

who is constantly sweeping them off her patio and scooping 

them out of her pool by the cupful. “There’s just thousands and 

thousands of them. If you’ve seen a car racing, that’s how they 

are. They’re going fast, fast, fast. They’re crazy.” 

The ants — formally known as “paratrenicha species near 

pubens” — have spread to five Houston-area counties since 

they were first spotted in Texas in 2002. 

The newly recognized species is believed to have arrived in 

a cargo shipment through the port of Houston. Scientists are 

not sure exactly where the ants came from, but their cousins, 

commonly called crazy ants, are found in the Southeast and the 

Caribbean. 

“At this point, it would be nearly impossible to eradicate 

the ant because it is so widely dispersed,” said Roger Gold, a 

Texas A&M University entomologist. 

The good news? They eat fire ants, the stinging red terrors 

of Texas summers. 

But the ants also like to suck the sweet juices from plants, 

feed on such beneficial insects as ladybugs, and eat the hatchlings 

of a small, endangered type of grouse known as the 

Attwater prairie chicken. 

They also bite humans, though not with a stinger like fire 

ants. 

Worse, they, like some other species of ants, are attracted to 

electrical equipment, for reasons that are not well understood 

by scientists. 

They have ruined pumps at sewage pumping stations, 

fouled computers and at least one 

homeowner’s gas meter, and caused 

fire alarms to malfunction. They have 

been spotted at NASA’s Johnson 

Space Center and close to Hobby 

Airport, though they haven’t caused 

any major problems there yet. 

Exterminators say calls from frustrated 

homeowners and businesses are 

increasing because the ants — which 

are starting to emerge by the billions 

with the onset of the warm, humid season 

— appear to be resistant to overthe-counter 

ant killers. 

“The population built up so high 

that typical ant controls simply did no 

good,” said Jason Meyers, an A&M 

doctoral student who is writing his dissertation 

on the one-eighth-inch-long 

ant. 

It’s not enough just to kill the queen. 

Experts say each colony has multiple 

queens that have to be taken out. 

At the same time, the ants aren’t taking 

the bait usually left out in traps, 

according to exterminators, who want 

the Environmental Protection Agency 

to loosen restrictions on the use of more 

powerful pesticides. 

And when you do kill these ants, the 

survivors turn it to their advantage: 

They pile up the dead, sometimes using 

them as a bridge to cross safely over 

surfaces treated with pesticide. 

“It looked like someone had come 

along and poured coffee granules all 

around the perimeter of the rooms,” 

said Lisa Calhoun, who paid exterminators 

$1,200 to treat an infestation of her 

parents’ home in the Houston suburb of 

Pearland. 

The Texas Department of 

Agriculture is working with A&M 

researchers and the EPA on how to stop 

the ants. 

“This one seems to be like lava 

flowing and filling an entire area, getting 

bigger and bigger,” said Ron 

Harrison, director of training for the big 

pest-control company Orkin Inc. 

Around The World 

China prepares burial pits as earthquake 

death toll rises; toll could reach 50,000 

LUOSHUI TOWN, China (AP) — Troops dug burial pits in this quakeshattered 

town and black smoke poured from crematorium chimneys elsewhere 

in central China as priorities began shifting Thursday from the hunt 

for survivors to dealing with the dead. Officials said the final toll could 

more than double to 50,000. 

As the massive military-led recovery operation inched farther into 

regions cut off by Monday’s quake, the government sought to enlist the 

public’s help with an appeal for everything from hammers to cranes and, in 

a turnabout, began accepting foreign aid missions, the first from regional 

rival Japan. 

Millions of survivors left homeless or too terrified to go indoors faced 

their fourth night under tarpaulins, tents or nothing at all as workers patched 

roads and cleared debris to reach more outlying towns in the disaster zone. 

On Friday, Chinese President Hu Jintao flew to Sichuan to support victims 

and express “appreciation to the public and cadres in the disaster 

zone,” the official Xinhua News Agency said. 

State media said that rescuers had finally reached all 58 counties and 

townships severely damaged. 

Bin Laden: Al-Qaida will continue holy war 

against Israel until liberation of Palestine 

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) — Al-Qaida will continue its holy war against 

Israel and its allies until it liberates Palestine, Osama bin Laden said in a 

new audio statement Friday. 

The message came as President Bush wrapped up his visit to Israel to 

celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Jewish state. 

Bin Laden says the fight for the Palestinian cause is the most important 

factor driving al-Qaida’s war with the West and fueled the Sept. 11 attacks. 

The authenticity of the close to 10 minute message could not be verified, 

but it was posted on a Web site commonly used by al-Qaida. 

President Bush heads to Saudi Arabia 

to seek help for soaring gas prices at home 

JERUSALEM (AP) — President Bush put the finishing touch on his 

celebrate-and-be-celebrated Israel stay, leaving the Holy Land Friday with 

no movement on Mideast peace but hoping to fare better in Saudi Arabia at 

obtaining help for soaring gas prices at home. 

“What’s on my mind is peace,” Bush told a group of Israeli youth leaders 

gathered for a short talk with him at the Bible Lands Museum, dedicated 

to the history of civilizations in the Bible. “I believe it’s possible. I know 

it will happen when young people put their minds together.” 

The discussion in the grass under an olive tree in the museum’s garden 

was Bush’s last stop of a two-day visit to Israel to mark its 60th anniversary. 

The young people who spoke to the president and first lady Laura 

Bush before the media were ushered out seemed eager for an end to the 

long fighting between Israel and the Palestinians.

Alaska officials condemn polar bear listing 

• Gov. disappointed in threatened-species designation 

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — 

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said she’s 

disappointed by a federal decision 

to list polar bears as a threatened 

species but relieved by the conclusion 

that the cause was not petroleum 

development, the mainstay of 

Alaska’s economy. 

Interior Secretary Dirk 

Kempthorne called Palin before his 

press conference Wednesday 

announcing the decision. 

“It was reassuring to hear 

Secretary Kempthorne remind me 

also that he’ll be acknowledging to 

all of America that it is not oil and 

gas developments that have such an 

adverse effect as to have led this 

decision for the threatened listing.” 

Nearly 90 percent of Alaska’s 

unrestricted revenue for next year 

is projected to come from the oil 

industry. Though crude oil prices 

are at record prices, production has 

fallen and the trans-Alaska 

pipeline has been running at less 

than half its capacity since 2000. 

Palin has made construction of 

a natural gas pipeline to Canadian 

or Lower 48 markets a priority and 

has pushed for other petroleum 

development, including offshore 

sources in polar bear habitat. 

The governor also aggressively 

lobbied against a polar bear listing, 

rejecting science used to justify it, 

including climate models that predict 

a complete summer meltdown 

of the polar ice cap by 2030 or 

sooner and a U.S. Geological 

Survey study that predicted polar 

bears in Alaska could be wiped out 

by 2050. 

Palin said her attorney general, 

Talis Colberg, will review the listing 

decision and the accompanying 

administrative record to determine 

whether there were significant 

defects. She did not rule out challenging 

the listing in court. 

“We’ll keep that kind of in the 

hopper there, that possibility of litigation,” 

she said. 

The listing decision was condemned 

by Alaska’s all-Republican 

congressional delegation. 

“This decision represents an 

assault on sound science and common 

sense,” said Rep. Don Young. 

The decision threatens the 

economy and freedoms of Alaskans 

and all Americans, he said. 

Radical environmental groups, 

he said, likely will file numerous 

frivolous lawsuits to stop development 

and traditional Alaska Native 

activities. 

Sen. Lisa Murkowski said the 

listing was “grossly premature” 

and based on highly variable climate 

change models. 

“A listing decision based purely 

on speculation about the future, 

lack of existing data, and in the 

absence of better research on bear 

prey species populations, sets a 

truly dangerous precedent for listings 

of a host of wildlife species,” 

she said. 

Murkowski and U.S. Sen. Ted 

Stevens both claim polar bear populations 

are increasing, a claim disputed 

by conservation groups. 

Stevens said the decision was 

made without research demonstrating 

dangerously low population 

levels in polar bears but instead on 

speculation regarding how ice levels 

will affect Arctic wildlife. 

“Worse yet, today’s decision 

cannot and will not do anything to 

reverse sea ice decline,” he said. 

Gay marriage opponents vow to fight Calif. ruling 

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Even as 

same-sex couples across California begin 

making plans to tie the knot, opponents are 

redoubling their efforts to make sure wedding 

bells never again ring for gay couples in 

the nation’s most populous state. 

A conservative group said it would ask 

California’s Supreme Court to postpone putting 

its Thursday decision legalizing gay 

marriage into effect until after the fall election. 

That’s when voters will likely have a 

chance to weigh in on a proposed amendment 

to California’s constitution that would 

bar same-sex couples from getting married. 

If the court does not put its ruling on hold, 

gay marriages could begin in California in as 

little as 30 days, the time it typically takes for 

the justices’ opinions to become final. 

The Republican-dominated court’s decision, 

which cited a 1948 California Supreme 

Court decision that overturned a ban on interracial 

marriages, swept away decades of tradition 

and said there was no legally justifiable 

reason why the state should withhold the 

institution of marriage because of a couple’s 

sexual orientation. 

The 4-3 opinion written by Chief Justice 

Ronald George said domestic partnerships 

that provide many of the rights and benefits 

of matrimony are not enough. 

“In contrast to earlier times, our state now 

recognizes that an individual’s capacity to 

establish a loving and long-term committed 

relationship with another person and responsibly 

to care for and raise children does not 

depend upon the individual’s sexual orientation,” 

George wrote for the majority in ringing 

language that delighted gay rights 

activists. 

Gay marriage opponents, meanwhile, 

derided the ruling as an example of judicial 

overreaching in which the opinions of a few 

justices trumped the will of Californians. 

“The remedy is a constitutional amendment,” 

said Glen Lavy, senior counsel for the 

Alliance Defense Fund, which is pushing for 

the stay. 

The last time the state’s voters were asked 

to express their views on same-sex marriage 

at the ballot box was in 2000, the year after 

the Legislature enacted the first of a series of 

laws awarding spousal rights to domestic 

partners. 

Proposition 22, which strengthened the 

state’s 1978 one-man, one-woman marriage 

law with the words “Only marriage between 

a man and a woman is valid or recognized in 

California,” passed with 61 percent of the 

vote. 

The Supreme Court’s ruling Thursday 

struck down both statutes. 

Still, backers of a proposed November 

ballot measure that would allow Californians 

to vote on a constitutional amendment banning 

same-sex marriage said the court’s decision 

would ultimately help their cause. 

“(The ruling) is not the way a democracy 

is supposed to handle these sorts of heartfelt, 

divisive issues,” said Brian Brown of the 

National Organization for Marriage, one of 

the groups helping to underwrite the gay 

marriage ban campaign. “I do think it will 

activate and energize Californians. I’m more 

confident than ever that we will be able to 

pass this amendment come November.” 

Twenty-six states have approved constitutional 

amendments banning same-sex marriage. 

In the past few years, courts in New York, 

Maryland and Washington state have refused 

to allow gay marriage, and New Jersey’s 

highest court gave the state lawmakers the 

option of establishing civil unions as an alternative. 

Massachusetts is the only other state to 

legalize gay marriage, something it did in 

2004. More than 9,500 same-sex couples in 

that state have wed. The California ruling is 

considered monumental because of the 

state’s population — 38 million out of a U.S. 

population of 302 million — and its historical 

role as the vanguard of many social and 

cultural changes that have swept the country 

since World War II. 

California has an estimated 108,734 

same-sex households, according to 2006 census 

figures. 

“It’s about human dignity. It’s about 

human rights. It’s about time in California,” 

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom told a 

roaring crowd at City Hall after the ruling 

was issued. “As California goes, so goes the 

rest of the nation. It’s inevitable. This door’s 

wide open now. It’s going to happen, whether 

you like it or not.”

Dr. Gott 

DEAR DR. GOTT: I have not seen anything in your 

column about fatigue. 

I am a 77-year-old male. Last year I was jogging, 

but six months ago I had to stop because I just don’t 

have the “get up and go” that I 

used to have. My health checked 

out fine, and the doctor gave me 

a booster shot of vitamin B-12, 

but it didn’t help me at all. 

Others have told me that I need a 

daily vitamin. There are so many 

on the market today that I don’t 

know which brand or strength is 

best. 

DEAR READER: A daily 

multivitamin may be all you 

need. I recommend you use one 

of the better-known brands. They 

may be a little more expensive than other brands, but 

they often have better quality control. Centrum or One- 

A-Day should offer you both the quality and variety 

you need. You may wish to shop around to find the best 

price. 

I also urge you to have a full physical exam, including 

a review of any medications you are taking, as well 

as testing for anemia, diabetes, congestive heart failure, 

vitamin deficiencies and more. Fatigue is a common 

symptom of many disorders. Because yours came on 

suddenly, I worry about potentially serious causes. 

If everything checks out normal, it is then time to 

look at your diet, lifestyle, exercise, sleep habits and 

stressors. These can be benign causes of fatigue and, 

fortunately, are easily correctable with minor changes, 

such as a more balanced diet, increasing exercise and 

reducing stress. 

Dear Abby 

DEAR ABBY: I have just 

returned from visiting a close friend 

in the next town. She was exhausted 

from caring for her husband, who 

has terminal cancer — but even 

more so from the many visits from 

loving friends and relatives around 

the country. 

I experienced the same thing a 

few years ago, so I’m hoping you 

will help me to inform people of 

some basic rules for visiting families 

going through this profoundly 

trying experience. 

— Don’t go for a “vacation,” but 

rather to lend support — and only if 

there is no objection. 

— Go healthy. Remember, the 

patient has no immunity after 

chemotherapy. 

— Provide your own transportation. 

Stay in a motel unless the 

home is large and the hostess has 

asked you to stay. 

— Keep visits short and positive. 

Long conversations are 

exhausting. 

— Provide 

food, preferably 

readycooked 

for 

simplicity, 

and do the 

cleanup. 

— Leave 

the house for 

periods of 

time (even a 

day or two) so 

the family can resume their medical 

routine. 

— Change the bed if you stay in 

the home. Remember, there is no 

maid service.

DEAR DR. GOTT: I, like many of your readers, 

have bad leg cramps. While I do not have a solution to 

prevent them (soap doesn’t work for me), I do have 

something that stops them. It is an over-the-counter 

medication called Leg Cramps. I purchase mine at 

Walgreens, but I am sure it is available in more places. 

They stop the pain within 60 seconds or so, and, if the 

cramp returns, I simply take another one. I hope this 

helps your readers. 

DEAR READER: I have had no experience with 

this product, which is made with quinine, but I am passing 

it on to my readers. I ask that anyone with Leg 

Cramps experience (either good or bad) write to me 

with their results. I will put the answers in a future column.

Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips 

— And last, require nothing of 

the family. There is nothing left for 

them to give. 

Thank you, Abby, for letting me 

speak for so many. — GOT IT OFF 

MY CHEST 

DEAR GOT IT: Well said. I particularly 

like your recommendations 

to stay someplace other than the 

home, to keep visits short so as not 

to deplete the patient, and not to 

expect to be entertained in any way. 

In life-or-death situations, the normal 

rules of hospitality do not 

apply, so ask not what your hosts 

can do for you, but what you can do 

for them — and abide by what they 

tell you. 

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 16-yearold 

high school girl. I’m friendly, 

cheerful, religious and an honors 

student. I am also addicted to 

pornography. 

Over the past few years I have 

been an on-again, off-again addict. 

I’ll look, feel good, feel bad, swear 

never to do it again, stay clean for a 

few months and then start again. 

A few months ago I told my 

mother what I was doing, and she 

agreed to monitor the situation. But 

I know how to delete my online history, 

so she doesn’t know I’m doing 

it again. 

I’m scared. I’m a virgin and 

would like to stay that way. But I’m 

starting to feel apathetic toward my 

grades, I’m thinking more about 

sex, I have lost respect for most of 

the opposite sex, and I’m one step 

from acting out. 

If I tell Mom, I know she’ll take 

away my computer. The best 

friends I have are online. I’ll be isolated 

if she takes it away. I’m also 

not sure I want to quit looking. It 

makes me feel good and keeps me 

from being stressed, but my religion 

and the changes in my behavior tell 

me it’s wrong. 

I mentioned it to my school 

counselor once. She said I’m just 

“expressing my sexuality in my 

own way.” Is she right? Or do I 

need help? What should I do? — 

ADDICTED AND ASHAMED IN 

IOWA 

DEAR ADDICTED: Forgive me 

for disagreeing with your counselor, 

but the problem with pornography 

is the distorted vision it gives viewers 

of what sex is really about. 

Addiction, by definition, is being 

consumed by and unable to stop a 

behavior. If you think you are alone 

in this problem, let me assure you 

that you are not. 

Please tell your mother what’s 

going on. You should talk to a 

licensed professional who has been 

trained in the treatment of addiction. 

This does not mean you must 

give up your computer — simply 

moving it to a central location 

might help. But conquering your 

problem will take professional help, 

and I urge you not to wait to ask for 

it or you will find yourself in even 

more serious trouble.

Highland Park fifth-grader wins state Creative Energy Challenge 



Highland Park Elementary School 

fifth-grader Jennae Fieldgrove was 

honored Wednesday for her Wyoming 

first-place award in the Igniting 

Creative Energy Challenge, an educational 

competition sponsored and 

funded by Johnson Controls Inc. of 

Milwaukee. 

“This is a special award for a special 

someone,” said Oscar Rangel of 

Johnson Controls, who presented the 

award to Jennae. 

She received an MP3 player and a 

bouquet of flowers, and Rangel also 

presented a check for $1,000 to 

Highland Park Elementary in Jennae’s 

name. Principal Linda Adelson said 

the funds will be used for school science 

programs and the Science Club. 

Jennae’s winning project is a 

bright-orange poster that resembles a 

“billboard to get people’s attention and communicate the 

importance of saving energy,” Rangel said. “No contribution 

is too small,” he added. 

The poster covers three ways that people can conserve 

energy: running the dishwasher only when it’s full, 

turning off lights when leaving a room, and finding alternatives 

to driving a car (e.g., riding a bicycle). 

In the written description of her project that was submitted 

with her poster, Jennae wrote: “When I first heard 

about the energy project I was excited because hopefully 

it will get people off the couch and start saving energy.

“Not only energy, but money

they can save energy by doing a little 

extra work but only a little.” 

Jessica Morgan, Jennae’s fifthgrade 

teacher, said pupils were 

allowed some class time to work on 

their energy projects, but they also 

worked on them at home because 

Morgan “wanted to see how creative 

they were on their own.” 

All U.S. and Canadian pupils in 

kindergarten through 12th grade are 

eligible to enter the competition 

(now in its seventh year) in three 

grade groupings: kindergarten 

through fifth, sixth through eighth, 

and ninth through 12th. 

The number of entries submitted 

for the Wyoming competition was 

not available from Johnson Controls 

headquarters. 

There are three project formats 

— documented or written entries, audio or music 

entries, and media or electronic — and they must relate 

to the theme “Igniting Creative Energy,” according to 

the Johnson Controls Web site. 

A panel of judges composed of independent educators, 

energy professionals, and selected experts make 

the final selections for all grade groups. 

The competition is also supported by Philips 

Lighting Co. and the U.S. Energy Association and is 

administered by the National Energy Foundation,

Bush’s wealth appears to hold steady 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The tens of millions of dollars 

in assets reported by Vice President Dick Cheney 

and his wife, Lynne, triple those held by President Bush 

and the first lady, Laura Bush. 

Bush kept much of his money invested fairly conservatively, 

in U.S. Treasury notes and certificates of 

deposit, according to financial disclosure reports 

released Thursday. 

Cheney spread his money around, at least $15.8 million 

in mutual funds that include bonds, international 

equities and domestic stocks. 

In the financial wild ride of 2007, Bush’s wealth 

appears to have held steady while Cheney’s seemed to 

decline a little. 

Of course, how much difference 

does it really make when 

you’re talking real wealth — $7 

million to $20 million in the 

case of Bush, $20 million to 

$100 million in the case of 

Cheney, according to the documents 

released by the White 

House. 

It’s impossible to tell the 

actual numbers because federal 

law allows top government officials 

and members of Congress 

to report their financial picture 

George 

W. Bush 

United States 

President 

Dick Cheney 

United States 

Vice President 

in wide ranges. So wide that 

Bush actually might have lost 

money while Cheney could 

have gained. 

For example, how much is 

Bush’s Texas ranch worth? 

According to the financial disclosure 

forms, the 1,583-acre 

spread near Crawford is worth 

somewhere between $1 million 

and $5 million — the same 

range listed for Cheney’s undeveloped 

real estate in McLean, 

Va. 

Bush got $15 million when the Texas Rangers baseball 

team which he owned a piece of was sold, Cheney 

got $35 million by exercising his stock options at his old 

firm, Halliburton. 

The big pay days are over. What’s left is the task of 

looking after lots of money. 

Personal finances have taken up some time this year 

on the presidential campaign trail. 

While Sen. John McCain released his tax return — 

total income of $405,409 last year — his wife is causing 

some controversy. Cindy McCain, an heiress to a 

Phoenix-based beer distributing company, has a fortune 

in the range of $100 million, but she has declined to disclose 

her tax returns. 

Weather, energy prices hampering Midwest economy 

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A Midwest 

economic index has hit a new low despite 

record farm income, brisk farm equipment 

sales and rising farmland prices. 

The Rural Mainstreet Index declined 

this month to 42.6 from April’s 47.5. Both 

figures are well below a growth-neutral 50, 

and the May figure is the lowest since the 

survey began in late 2005. 

An index greater than 50 indicates a 

growing economy over the next three to six 

months. 

In a report released Friday on the survey, 

the disappointing numbers were 

blamed in part on poor weather and higher 

energy prices. 

“It has been a very cold and wet spring 

and planting is behind normals,” said one of 

the survey respondents, Pete Haddeland, 

president of First National Bank in 

Mahnomen, Minn. “High fuel and input costs 

have people closely looking at overall costs.” 

Nevertheless, record farm income is propelling 

farmland prices higher and farm 

equipment sales remain very strong, said 

Creighton University economist Ernie Goss, 

who oversees the survey. 

Goss and Bill McQuillan, CEO of City 

National Bank in Greeley, Neb., created the 

monthly economic survey of rural bank 

CEOs in 11 states: Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, 

Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, 

Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and 

Wyoming. 

The average community population covered 

by the survey is about 1,300. 

The higher farm income and higher travel 

costs have not led to stronger retail sales in 

rural areas. 

The May retail sales index plunged to 

36.7 in May, compared with 40.3 in April. A 

year ago the figure was 50.8. 

“Farmers are just not spending a lot of 

their elevated income with local merchants, 

except for agriculture equipment dealers,” 

Goss said. 

The survey asked the bankers whether 

higher fuel prices have led townspeople to 

shop locally. 

Only 15.7 percent responded yes; 21.6 

said no, there was no increase in local buying. 

Barry Linnens, CEO of Cottonwood 

Valley Bank in Cedar Point, Kan., said local 

folks were still heading into the cities to shop 

but were making fewer trips and larger purchases. 

Record farm income continued to drive ag 

land prices. The survey’s May farmland price 

index dropped slightly to a very strong 71.2, 

down only a tenth of a point from 71.3 in 

April. 

Although most rural areas haven’t experienced 

the mortgage problems vexing urban 

areas, the national economic downturn and 

the housing problems were still being reflected. 

The rural bankers survey index for home 

sales in May rose slightly, to still weak 35.8 

from April’s 33.6 and March’s 25.8. 

The confidence index, which tracks the 

economic outlook for six months out, jumped 

to 47.5 from 36.9 in April. 

The index has remained below growthneutral 

50 for eight months in a row.

The Sheridan Marlins took an 

early lead in their Babe Ruth Baseball 

game against the Buffalo Bison at 

Redle Field and held on to claim a 9- 

5 victory Thursday. 

The Marlins scored three runs in 

the bottom of the first. After Buffalo scored once 

in the second, the Marlins added three more in the 

bottom of the inning, including two on a home run 

by Alex Lassle, to increase their lead to 6-1. 

The Bison scored two runs in both the third and 

fourth innings to narrow the lead to 6-5. But the 

Marlins scored three more runs in the bottom of 

the fourth, including a two-run double by Devin 

Rougeau, to conclude the scoring. 

The Marlins had four hits. Jess McKenzie had 

a pair of singles, while Rougeau had a double and 

Lassle a home run. Rougeau and Lassle were the 

RBI leaders, both with two, and Ryan Hamilton 

scored three runs for the Marlins. 

Buffalo had three hits with Hayden Durant and 

Caleb Dillinger both connecting for doubles, and

Sports Editor 

“We have Bo Grandahl, as well as Ben 

Buckingham and Devin Stites,” Warnke said. “David 

Bledsoe will be a late-inning pitcher for us, and he 

has a good live arm. Kolton Brinkerhoff will throw for 

us this year.” 

However, J.D. Williams, another of the Troop’s top 

pitchers the past several years, is questionable as he 

has experienced shoulder problems. 

The Troopers have a good mix behind the plate as 

Derek Scott, a two-year veteran returns. Sheridan also 

has a good newcomer in Matt Overton, who played 

baseball in New England the past few years. 

“Matt’s a good, young athlete who has looked really 

good in the scrimmages we’ve had,” Warnke said. 

“He has a good attitude and works hard, and we’re 

expecting a lot of good things from him. Derek also 

works hard and he is constantly working to get better. 

We also have Josh Dunkelberger, who has also been a 

catcher for three years, but we’re trying to not put him 

behind the plate as much this year. So we’re looking 

pretty good at catcher, which is nice.” 

The Trooper infield will return two experienced 

veterans in Matt Hurst, who has been their first baseman 

for three years, and Bledsoe, who will 

play in the middle infield. 

“David has played second base for us, 

but he’s going to play a lot of shortstop for 

us,” Warnke said. “We’re bringing Josh 

Dunkelberger in from the outfield, and he’s 

going to play second base, and he’ll play 

shortstop when David is pitching. Bo 

Grandahl and Kolton Brinkerhoff will play 

third base, and Matt Hurst and Ben 

Buckingham will play at first. We have a lot 

of good infielders, and that’s going to be the 

strongest part of our team. If our pitchers can get 

ground balls, we’re going to have a lot of quick 

innings.” 

Gieselman will also be one of the Troopers’ top 

outfielders. 

“He’s going to be a great outfielder for us,” 

Warnke said. “He’s going to run down a lot of balls in 

center field, and he’ll make the left and right fielders 

better by him being out there. We have several other 

outfielders in Devin Stites, Pat LaBreck, Jordan 

Hofmeier, and we’re also bringing up a young kid 

from the Jets in Lucas Carr. J.D. Williams could be in 

the outfield if he is able to play this year. 

“Defensively, we’ll be able to field the ground 

balls and catch the fly balls, so it’s all going to come 

down to pitching,” Warnke added. 

The Wyoming “AA” American Legion has been 

reorganized, as the Troopers will compete in the East 

Conference along with defending state champion 

Cheyenne Post 6, as well as the Gillette Roughriders 

and Torrington Tigers. The format for conference play 

has also been changed, as each contest will be a single 

nine-inning game instead of a doubleheader consisting 

of two seven-inning games. 

“We have a great conference with Cheyenne and 

Gillette, who both played for the state championship 

last year,” Warnke said. 

For nonconference games, the Troop will play 

familiar foes such as the Laramie Rangers, the 

Riverton Raiders, the Billings Lobos, and Rapid City 

Posts 22 and 320.

as Carpenter was third in 11:35.49 and Morin 

was fifth in 11:46.37. Both were also on the 

4x800-meter relay team as they, along with 

Stephanie Brown and Erin Kinsey, took third 

place in 10:01.19. 

Kinsey also competed in the 3,2000 meters 

but finished 16th in 12:37.44. Also competing for the Lady

Friday, May 16, 2008 

When, during the auction, 

you have a close 

decision, go through the 

pluses and minuses of 

each call. Then if you are 

still unsure, hope that you 

guess well. 

For example, look at 

the South hand in the diagram. 

Your partner opens 

one heart, you respond one 

spade, and he rebids one 

no-trump, showing 12-14 

points. What would you do 

now? 

If your long suit were a 

minor, you would rebid 

three no-trump without a 

moment’s hesitation. And 

that is definitely tempting 

now. But here it works 

badly, the opponents taking 

five club tricks. The 

alternative is to rebid three 

spades, showing six 

spades with game-invitational 

values. North, with 

a suitable hand for spades, 

raises to game. 

After West leads the 

diamond king, how would 

you plan the play? 

You have four losers: 

two diamonds and two 

clubs. You have only nine 

winners: six spades, two 

hearts and one diamond. 

You must establish a long 

heart on the board as your 

10th trick. 

If the hearts are 4-2, as 

Astro – Graph 

Saturday, May 17, 2008 

It looks as if you’ll get 

off to a great start in the 

year ahead with the possibilities 

of finding both a 

quality social life and 

many new potential 

prospects for material 

gain. Make the most of 

things while conditions 

favor you. 

TAURUS (April 20- 

May 20) — Think twice 

before you make a 

promise, because one 

made in haste might have 

to be reconsidered later. 

The last thing you want is 

to have to go back on your 

word. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 

20) — You’re not always 

a person who abides by the 

procedures you first implement, 

and this might be 

the case today. As long as 

the change of direction is a 

course correction, that’s 

fine. Just don’t do it out of 

boredom. 

CANCER (June 21- 

July 22) — If you’re 

smart, you’ll keep everything 

light and fluffy with 

someone you don’t know 

well. This person could 

take everything too seriously 

or fly off the handle 

at the drop of a hat. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) 

— You are not apt to be 

too productive today if 

you have someone looking 

over your shoulder, so 

keep kibitzers at bay and 

bosses happy. In order to 

do your best, you need a 

peaceful environment. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 

22) — If it sounds too 

good to be true, it probably 

is. So when you hear 

about a gamble that’s easy 

pickings, don’t fall for it. 

People who say they have 

inside knowledge may be 

all talk. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 

23) — You can see both 

sides of the coin when it 

comes to your financial 

dealings, but the coin that 

will end upright is in your 

hands. If you’re ingenious 

in making a profit, don’t 

be foolish in eradicating 

the gains. 

Phillip Alder 

you should expect, you 

will need three dummy 

entries. These you have: 

the spade nine, spade 10 

and a top heart. 

Win the first trick on 

the board, play a spade to 

your ace, lead a heart to 

dummy’s king, cash the 

heart ace, and ruff a heart 

high in your hand. You 

ruff high to prevent West 

from overruffing, and to 

preserve your low trumps 

to gain access to the 

board’s two remaining 

spades. 

Play a low trump to 

dummy’s nine, ruff another 

heart high, lead a spade 

to dummy’s 10, and discard 

a minor-suit loser on 

the heart six. Brilliant! 

Bernice Bede Osol 

SCORPIO (Oct. 24- 

Nov. 22) — No one knows 

better than you that you 

can accomplish your aims 

by maintaining a friendly 

attitude. Conversely, 

aggressiveness can destroy 

it all in a flash. Keep your 

intense nature focused on 

the former. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 

23-Dec. 21) — Usually 

you are a generous person 

and you will be so again 

today — until something 

or someone turns you off. 

Then you’re not likely to 

share anything, even with 

persons who deserve it. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 

22-Jan. 19) — There is 

nothing wrong with relaxing 

and enjoying yourself 

with friends, but take care 

that you aren’t doing anything 

at their expense, 

such as getting them to 

cough up your share of the 

tab. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- 

Feb. 19) — Timing can be 

extremely important in 

achieving your objectives, 

and in your case, the earlier 

you get started, the 

more you’ll accomplish. 

You’ll not do well once 

your productive hours 

come to a close. 

PISCES (Feb. 20- 

March 20) — Your first 

efforts are likely to be 

your best ones, so try to 

appreciate their significance 

and not attempt to 

keep remaking what 

you’ve already accomplished. 

Things will get 

worse, not better. 

ARIES (March 21- 

April 19) — Something 

good may come along, but 

be smart and keep it to 

yourself. If a jealous 

onlooker knew about it, he 

or she might attempt to 

throw a monkey wrench in 

the machinery. 

Know where to look for 

romance and you’ll find it.

Information now a click away 

• Patient Channel 

at Memorial allows 

for better access 

By Danae Brandjord 

Marketing Manager, Memorial Hospital 

Imagine … having access to helpful information on a variety 

of health issues right from your hospital bed … accessing a short, 

informative video clip on your home computer about what to 

expect in a mammogram … calling a toll-free number to ask a 

qualified professional a health-related question. 

All of these options are available in Sheridan. 

According to Nancy Hooge, clinical nurse educator at 

Sheridan Memorial Hospital, the Patient Channel is now available 

for patients and their families at the hospital. 

This 24-hour patient-education TV channel provides network-quality 

programming on a variety of health topics delivered 

specifically to hospital patient rooms and waiting rooms. 

Some of the topics include cancer, asthma, diabetes, heart 

disease, high blood pressure, smoking cessation, parenting, wellness 

and many more. New programs are added throughout the 

year. 

Additionally, Hooge said the patient channel has a Web site 

where this educational content can be accessed (www.thepatientchannel.com). 

Video clips on certain topics can be downloaded and there is 

a wealth of health information available. There is also a link to 

this site from Sheridan Memorial's Web site (www.sheridanhospital.org). 

Hooge is very excited to have this opportunity available to 

patients. “Having access to the Patient Channel is an exciting 

addition to our patient-education program here at the hospital. 

“There is a wide range of topics offered to assist patients and 

their families in broadening their knowledge,” she added. 

The content of this channel, a partnership between GE 

Healthcare and NBC programming, is closely monitored by 

independent advisory boards. 

Dave Ross, manager of the Patient Channel, said that the content 

quality is high because the boards review all content prior to 

airing and identify new opportunities for topics that are contemporary 

and of high interest to the general public. 

Hooge said the information is important in empowering 

patients to take an active role in their health care. 

“The Patient Channel and NBC have taken the time to produce 

relevant programs that affect a patient's health and wellness. 

I am sure our patients, their families and our staff will appreciate 

this option in providing education,” she said. 

When seeking general medical advice, a personal physician is 

always the best resource. Patients often call the emergency department 

at the hospital with medical questions. 

According to Iris Hehn, emergency department and ICU manager 

at Sheridan Memorial Hospital, this puts the staff in an awkward 

position because the emergency department staff cannot 

give advice over the phone. 

“Symptoms alone can be the same for many different medical 

diagnoses, and an examination or visual assessment cannot be 

done over the phone, so we really can't give them good advice,” 

she said. 

“We are open 24 hours a day and the staff is eager to serve 

patients presenting to the emergency room,” Hehn said. 

For simple questions, or if someone just needs a general medical 

resource, an Ask-A-Nurse hot line is available to people in 

Montana and Wyoming. 


Sheridan Memorial Hospital Clinical Nurse Educator Nancy Hooge speaks with patient Tony Anthony about the 

Patient Channel at the hospital Tuesday. 

“We are very fortunate to have access to the Ask-A-Nurse hot 

line. It is based out of Billings, Mont., and is toll-free to Wyoming 

and Montana residents,” Hehn said. 

The toll-free number for the Ask-A-Nurse hot line is (800) 

762-8778. Hehn said the hospital phone system only allows calls 

to be transferred to other departments within the hospital, and 

therefore, the emergency department is unable to transfer a call to 

the hot line. 

Hehn said Ask-A-Nurse is an excellent resource for general 

health questions. 

“You can ask simple questions and receive simple answers,” 

she said. 

It is in the best interest of a patient, when inquiring about a 

health-related problem, to seek timely health care. Consulting a 

personal physician is the best thing to do, or if it is a life-threatening 

situation, call 911. 

For more information about any of these resources, contact 

Sheridan Memorial Hospital. 

Study: Older 

brains don’t 

benefit from 

painkillers 

CHICAGO (AP) — Results from a 

large government experiment are dimming 

hopes that two common 

painkillers can prevent Alzheimer’s 

disease or slow mental decline in older 

people. 

The arthritis drug Celebrex and the 

over-the-counter painkiller Aleve 

showed no benefit on thinking skills, 

new findings show. Earlier results from 

the same research showed the two 

drugs didn’t prevent Alzheimer’s, at 

least in the short term. 

The experiment was halted several 

years early in 2004 when heart risks 

turned up in a separate study on 

Celebrex. Researchers also had noticed 

more heart attacks and strokes in the 

people taking Aleve in the Alzheimer’s 

prevention study. 

Despite the study’s early end, there 

was still enough data to hint at how the 

drugs act on thinking and memory. The 

findings were posted online Monday 

and will appear in July’s Archives of 

Neurology. 

“These were not the results we 

were hoping for,” said co-author 

Barbara Martin of the Johns Hopkins 

Bloomberg School of Public Health. 

“We designed this study hoping we 

would see a protective effect of these 

drugs.” 

Researchers hope to continue monitoring 

the participants to see if they 

find any delayed benefit. 

Scientists have speculated that nonsteroidal 

anti-inflammatories, such as 

Aleve and Celebrex, might prevent 

Alzheimer’s by reducing inflammation 

in the brain or by other means. 

“The drugs have several effects in 

the brain and the different effects could 

be important at different stages in the 

illness,” said study co-author Dr. John 

Breitner of the University of 

Washington in Seattle. 

Nagging via text messages 

to help teens remember meds 

WASHINGTON (AP) — 4gt yr 

meds? Getting kids to remember their 

medicine may be a text message away. 

Cincinnati doctors are experimenting 

with texting to tackle a big problem: 

Tweens and teens too often do a lousy 

job of controlling chronic illnesses like 

asthma, diabetes or kidney disease. 

It’s a problem long recognized in 

adults, particularly for illnesses that can 

simmer without obvious symptoms 

until it’s too late. But only now are doctors 

realizing how tricky a time adolescence 

is for skipping meds, too. 

Of necessity, parents start turning 

over more health responsibilities to their 

children at this age. It’s also an age of 

angst, sometimes rebellion, and when 

youths may most hate feeling different 

from their friends because of medication, 

special diets or other therapy. 

“It’s a time of so much change in 

these kids’ lives,” says Dr. Marva 

Moxey-Mims, a specialist in pediatric 

kidney disease at the National Institutes 

of Health. “It’s very difficult when 

you’ve got a life-threatening illness to 

say, ‘Let them make their mistakes.”’ 

There are few good statistics on how 

many chronically ill kids don’t adhere 

to therapy. But what little data exists is 

alarming enough that the NIH’s 

National Institute of Diabetes and 

Digestive and Kidney Diseases will 

bring specialists together in September 

to debate next steps: 

—Some studies suggest only half of 

adolescents, on average, properly follow 

treatment steps, says Dr. Dennis 

Drotar of Cincinnati Children’s 

Hospital. The more medications 

required or the more troublesome the 

side effects — even, for appearanceconscious 

teens, such things as weight 

gain from steroid medications — the 

worse kids adhere. 

—Asthma’s record is particularly 

bad, with research suggesting as few as 

30 percent of teenagers correctly take 

medication to prevent asthma attacks. 

—Among kidney transplant recipients, 

adolescents have the worst longterm 

outcomes of any age group, says 

Moxey-Mims.

Sheridan County Community Health 

What comes to mind when you hear “public health?” Most people think of 

immunizations. Yes, there are the flu clinics and children going to the public 

health office to get their school shots. However, community health does much 

more than give immunizations! We have many programs to promote healthy 

lifestyles and public safety. For example: 

• weekly blood pressure clinics 

• confidential HIV and Hepatitis C testing and counseling 

• TB screenings and followup. 

• “Welcome Home” visits to new mothers to be sure everything is going 

smoothly 

• Best Beginnings program to be sure pregnant women receive the proper 

health care 

• Children’s Special Health Program provides assistance for children with 

special needs 

• community health education, including bloodborne pathogen training and 

CPR certification 

• bicycle and skateboard helmets for a low cost 

• visit adults in their homes to monitor health conditions 

• emergency preparedness planning in the community. 

• evaluations to determine whether someone is appropriate to be placed in a 

nursing home. 

Most of our nurses serve on at least one committee, board, or coalition in the 

community. We do have immunization clinics twice a week in the office. As 

you can see, however, your local community health office does much more than 

“give shots.” Call us or visit our website for more information on any of these 

services! http://sheridancounty.com/info/cw/overview.php • 672-5169
