A new kind of politics?

Anonymous money
spent to influence
state policy, elections
LAURA HANCOCK

DARK
MONEY
Wyoming is known for folksy
politicians who speak directly
with their constituents. But in
recent years, activist groups
have gained more power and
are changing the states political landscape. For the next
three days, the Star-Tribune
will explore this change.

Three-part series

Sunday: The influence of dark

money is growing in Wyoming and
changing the political landscape,
observers say.

In February, shortly before the

Wyoming Senate killed a proposal
to expand Medicaid to an estimated 20,000 low-income people, a lobbyist named Dave Owen
walked the halls of the Legislature
in Cheyenne, talking to lawmakers
about the harms of the Obamacare
program.
Owen, who appears to live in poses Medicaid expansion.
Utah, represented the Foundation
Owen presented research crefor Government Accountability, ated by the foundations staff to
which is based in Florida and op- lawmakers. Some of the research

Group, which champions conservative and libertarian issues, is
changing its image.
Tuesday: Years after right-leaning
dark money groups appeared in
Wyoming, left-of-center organizations are beginning to spring up.
showed genuine concerns about
Medicaid, such as evidence from
expansion states that more people
than expected qualified for it and
the traditional Medicaid program,
driving up costs. Other claims

were erroneous, such as an assertion that felons would receive

Medicaid before others.
Opposition didnt come from
the foundation alone. The Cheyenne-based Wyoming Liberty
Group also lobbied against expansion. Its health care analyst, Charlie Katebi, said the group contends
Wyoming shouldnt spend money
expanding a program that doesnt
deliver quality health care to the
existing patients it serves, including the elderly, children and
people with mental health needs.
The lobbying worked. Lawmakers for the fourth consecutive year
rejected Medicaid expansion.
Yet legislators may not be representing their constituencies: A
recent poll by the University of
Wyoming showed the majority

of Wyomingites want the state to

accept the federal money attached
to expansion to balance the budget instead of tapping the rainy
day fund, cutting government or
raising taxes. The state is facing a
budget crunch due to the downturn in coal, natural gas and oil.
In a small state that prides itself on folksy, personal contact
between constituents and their
elected officials, activist groups are
gaining more power, bringing an
out-of-state feel to local politics.

Dark money

Its called dark money. Its what

activist groups that operate as
corporations or nonprofits under
sections 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) of

turing a pentagram and the head

of Pan, the Greek god the store is
named for. The weight of mixed
incenses hangs in the air.
Forest practiced Wicca for a
number of years but now practices Greek pantheism the worship of the ancient Greek gods.
Her worship focuses on Pan, the
half-man, half-goat god of the
wilds, sheep and shepherds.

Whether its raising fish and

pheasants or feeding elk, the
Wyoming Game and Fish Department runs its programs relatively
efficiently, according to an independent report released recently.
But, the report concluded, fish
and wildlife officials need to ask
the public a simple question: Are
those programs needed?
Through an increased focus
on human dimensions inquiry
and improved public engagement,
WGFD can not only gain better insight into what its public wants, it
can build greater confidence in the
public that the agency is indeed,
Conserving Wildlife Serving
People, the report read.
The study, called Wyoming
Game and Fish Department Programmatic Evaluation by the
Wildlife Management Institute, is
one of the final stages of a Game
and Fish task force formed by Gov.
Matt Mead in 2015 to address the
departments financial woes.
About 20 members of groups representing conservation, energy,
lawmakers and sportsmen met
three times to look for ways to keep
the department financially stable.
The agency was in the process
of trimming and cutting services
after Wyoming lawmakers decided not to increase the cost of
hunting and fishing licenses in
2008. It was the first time since
the 1930s that license fees werent
incrementally boosted, and some
Wyoming legislators said the public thought Game and Fish wasted
money.
The task force decided that before it could offer the governor any
recommendations on financial
solvency, it needed to know just
how efficiently the department
operated.

People are indoors more than ever in the human

history. This may be why a growing number of
Americans have become followers of a Japanese
practice called Shinrin-yoku, also known as
forest bathing. Many say it is similar to yoga. It is
practiced as a slow-walking meditation with no final
destination. This forest therapy can be a guided,
paid-for experience or freely performed solo.

IN BRIEF
Clintons team pushes
back against email woes
WASHINGTON Hillary Clintons campaign lashed out at the FBI
on Saturday, saying there was no
indication that a cache of recently
discovered emails under review by
the agency was connected to the
Democratic nominee. Barnstorming
the West, Republican rival Donald
Trump pounced on the reignited
email controversy.

Clinton campaign chairman John

Podesta told reporters that FBI
Director James Comeys letter to
Congress about the new emails was
long on innuendo and short on
facts. Her campaign was joined by
Democratic allies in arguing that the
disclosure could unfairly influence
the outcome of the election.
Theres no evidence of wrongdoing, Podesta said. No charge of
wrongdoing. No indication this is
even about Hillary.

But on that latter point, Comey in

fact said the new trove appeared to be
pertinent to the Clinton email investigation, without explaining how.
A government official told The
Associated Press on Saturday that
the Justice Department had advised
the FBI against telling Congress
about the new developments in the
Clinton investigation because of the
potential fallout so close to the election. The official was not authorized
to speak publicly about the matter

and discussed it on condition of

anonymity.
Justice officials concluded the
letter would be inconsistent with
department policy that directs
against investigative actions that
could be seen as affecting an election or helping a particular candidate, the official said.
Landing with a thud, the email issue again threatened to undermine
an advantage built by Clinton, the
Democratic nominee, over Trump

and raised the possibility that the

Republican might be able to seize
momentum during the final days
before the Nov. 8 election.
Trump told a crowd in Golden,
Colorado, on Saturday that the FBIs
review of Clinton email practices
raises everybodys deepest hope
that justice, as last, can be properly
delivered. His crowd cheered Clintons email woes, which Trump has
taken to calling the biggest political
scandal since Watergate.

SCHOOL FUNDING

Lawmakers: Spend reserves

Committee wants to
use rainy day fund for
construction projects
GREG FLADAGER

307-266-0505
Greg.Fladager@trib.com

A legislative committee is recommending tapping the states

$1.5 billion rainy day account for
some $80 million in school building projects this coming year.
The Select Committee on School
Facilities voted 8 to 1 to approve a
supplemental appropriations bill,
which will be used predominately
for two school construction projects a $29 million elementary
school in Teton County and a $42
million junior high school in Laramie County along with a host of

smaller projects, including some

immediate funding for Big Horn
County.
The recommendation comes
as the state is facing $400 million
less in revenue than was forecast
for the current two-year general
operating budget, along with a
$100 million shortfall in school
operations funding.
The school construction and
maintenance budgets have long
had a separate funding stream
financed almost exclusively
through Wyomings share of
federal coal lease bonus money.
But that source is in decline and
is expected to run dry in 2018.
Due to a drop in coal lease income, the school construction
and maintenance budget of $148
million was already short of covering the major maintenance

needs of schools across the state,

much less the $212 million in
building projects that are next in
line under the school capital construction formula.
The supplemental appropriations bill also contains funding for
associated facility costs, such as
$3.4 million for unanticipated design and construction expenses,
$660,000 for land acquisition,
$1.2 million in emergency school
funding and $800,000 for charter
school leases.
To offset some of the new expenditures, the committee used
$1 million in recent investment
income that came in above projections, along with $4.6 million
recouped by lower construction
costs and project changes.

to accurately describe the
week.
But Id love to try, if only to
give you a glimpse inside the

On Monday, we were notified that our workplace has
won the Wyoming Council on
Womens Issues Employer of
Choice Award. This award has
nothing to do with journalism
and everything to do with
how the Star-Tribune treats
its employees, especially in
the area of family issues.
I was asked
to nominate my
employer, and
I was delighted
to do so. The
application
process was
SALLY ANN extensive, and
SHURMUR I leaned on coworkers Nicole
Ott, Laura Hancock and Christine Peterson
to contribute portions of it.
It is not lost on any of us
that four hard-working, dedicated, motivated, professional women did this. We are
thrilled.
Nicole is our digital and
marketing director and also
serves as our in-house human
resources liaison to our corporate HR person.
Laura, as you all know, is
our absolutely stellar political
reporter. If you see her after
she wakes up in the middle of
November, buy her a martini
because she so deserves it.
And Christine, whom I
first hired as an intern when
she was a student at Natrona
County High School, is a
managing editor, national
award-winning outdoor
writer and brand-new mother
of marvelous Miriam.
All of these pieces, in one
form or another, were included in the application.
Sure, there are other companies with family and maternity and paternity leave
policies. But few have energetic 4-year-olds cruising
when their daycare is closed,
granddaughters grabbing
everything in sight and newborns enjoying taco tailgate
lunch. All of this happened
in the last week or so, and is
honestly happily kind of routine.
The publisher occasionally
jokes that hes not running a
daycare, but he is the first to
admit that happy, as opposed
to stressed, employees are
much, much better employees.
Next came a truly fabulous
all-girl birthday cocktail hour
for one of our communitys
smartest and most dynamic
women. As I tried to memorize who was there, I realized
that education, nonprofit,
civic, professional and service sectors were among
those represented.
The birthday girl actually
gave her guests an unforgettable gift as we were able to
celebrate one another, as well
as be with her.

YELLOWSTONE RIVER

State and feds seek

damages for oil spill
ASSOCIATED PRESS

BILLINGS, Mont. The state of

Montana and U.S. Department of
Interior have notified a Wyoming
company that theyll seek compensation for damages caused by
more than 30,000 gallons of oil
that spilled into the Yellowstone
River from a broken pipeline.
More than 90 percent of the
crude was never recovered following the Bridger Pipeline Company accident in January 2015 near
Glendive. The river was frozen

when the break occurred and the

spill temporarily contaminated
water supplies for 6,000 people
living downstream of the break.
Montana Attorney General
Tim Fox said its too early to say
how much money will be sought
from Bridger. However, he said the
company has so far been cooperative as state and federal officials

Federal regulators have

to bury pipelines more
deeply. However, many
pipeline operators in the
region have taken such
actions voluntarily in the
years since the Exxon spill.
Earlier this month, the

a proposal by the Yellowstone Pipeline Company to
re-bury two sections of 10inch oil pipeline that cross
beneath the Clark Fork
River at locations in Granite and Missoula counties.
The crossings were originally installed in 1954 and

Amendment A
makes sense
STAR-TRIBUNE EDITORIAL BOARD

yoming is battling a severe economic downturn. Its looking

for ways to manage state money for the betterment of everyone who lives here.
But to do that, the state needs options.
Constitutional Amendment A opens the door to some of those
options.
If approved, Amendment A would allow Wyoming legislators
to invest parts of nearly $6 billion currently parked in some 300
separate accounts, which have little chance of keeping up with
the rate of inflation, in a variety of stocks or stock funds, private
equity and real estate. The state has more than $19 billion in cash
funds, spread across hundreds of different accounts.
Currently, the Legislature is allowed to authorize the investment of some state money in equities. At the polls, voters will
consider taking it a step further and allowing the Legislature
to direct the state treasurer to invest a broader mix of funds
non-permanent funds of the state.
These are state agency accounts and trusts created by the Legislature, such as the Cultural Trust, the Natural Wildlife Resources
Trust and Wyoming Childrens Trust Fund.
Right now, they can just be invested in bonds, which now have
an interest rate that hasnt kept up with inflation. That means the
state is losing money, state treasurer Mark Gordon says and he
contends its time for a change.
Hes not alone. The amendment has many other high-profile
and involved supporters, such secretary of state Ed Murray, auditor Cynthia Cloud, state superintendent Jillian Balow, onetime
secretary of state Max Maxfield and U.S. House Rep. Cynthia
Lummis, a former state treasurer.
It should come as no surprise that the amendment does carry
risks. In fact, opponents such as Wyoming State Senate President Phil Nicholas and House Speaker Kermit Brown have told
the League of Women Voters that the option is dangerous and
indeed, as with any venture into the stock market, its far from
foolproof.
Opponents bring up the fact that in the last half of 2008, Wyomings permanent funds lost more than half a billion dollars in
the stock market, and the Wyoming Public Employee Pension lost
more than 30 percent of its value. That happened while accounts
that were invested in bonds remained fairly stable, they say. But
that was during the Great Recession hardly a typical time for
stocks. They also worry about emergency situations in which the
state might have to sell its equities at a loss.
But supporters contend that without a little risk, the states
rewards would be minimal. Investing the states money is not
exactly a roll of the dice. These decisions are highly vetted and incremental. And the long-term risk-to-reward ratio is in the states
favor.
For one thing, there is a lot of legislative oversight, including a
two-thirds majority in both houses to guide investment. It is not a
one-and-done deal; legislators would choose specific conditions
and constraints for each fund.
The process would still need to adhere to two important guidelines. The state would adhere to prudent investor policies, for one,
which set guidelines for managers making the decisions on various funds.
And by statute, professional and independently qualified investment advisers are retained to help manage investments to ensure the states money is placed effectively in a healthy balance of
investment vehicles like stocks and bonds or even index funds and
Exchange traded funds.
Wyoming also has case studies to look at other sovereign wealth
funds and Gordon has studied them. The state is significantly
underperforming some of its peers, and he and others have determined that this step will help.
Amendment A makes sense. It does come with risks, but Wyoming has a history of doing the right things right, and we think investing the states funds for long-term sustainability is a risk our
leadership would take seriously for the benefit of Wyomingites
from today and long into the future.

Wyoming needs
Cotherman in the
Legislature

Neal makes his

position on public
lands clear

Editor:
Wyoming needs Audrey Cotherman in the state Legislature
from HD57. She can bring much
talent, experience and common
sense. Wyoming has recently invested billions of dollars in new
schools across the state. Now we
desperately need legislators that
understand education issues and
how to maximize the incredible
facilities our students can be
taught in.
Cotherman knows education
because she has been the deputy
superintendent of public instruction for Wyoming, served on the
Natrona County School Board and
been a teacher and business owner.
There are very few community
service organizations in Casper
she hasnt served on the board or
run. We are lucky to have a person
of Audreys intellect and common
sense running for the Legislature.
She will be a great legislator. I hope
you will vote for her.
PETER WOLD, Casper

Editor:
I hope House District 56 voters noticed that in his recent
mailing about public lands,
Jerry Obermueller studiously
avoids taking a stand on the idea
of transferring our national forests, BLM lands and who knows
what other public lands to the
state.
Thats a big difference with
his opponent, Dan Neal. Neal
opposes this transfer and has
made his position crystal clear.
Like me, he knows that states
historically have sold off assets
when they end up in a budget
crisis.
If you want to keep public
lands in public hands, please join
me in voting for Neal as our next
state representative from House
District 56.

Austerity can be bad policy

G
ov. Matt Meads decision
against further cuts in government spending is aligned
with the thinking of many top
economists.
Their view is that spending
cuts beyond a certain level the
tipping point has overall negative outcomes;
the benefits from
saving money are
outweighed by
the damage to the
economy.
Simply put, austerity is bad for the
JOAN
economy.
BARRON
Wyoming is
fortunate to have
healthy reserves that enable the
state to maintain the spending
necessary to avoid layoffs and
further cuts in social services.
Meads predecessors during
earlier revenue crises werent as
blessed.
They had to cut deeply into
spending.
Whether the Legislatures hard
right conservatives next year will
allow the governors no-further-budget cuts recommendation to stand remains to be seen.
This group wants very limited
government. One way to do that
is to starve executive branch
agencies.
It has been amusing to read
about the lawmakers who have an
aversion even to the word tax.
Yet it is also disturbing, a nonsensical attitude for people who
have the responsibility of finding
money to pay for local governments, schools and other institutions that serve the public good
and to create a balanced budget.
What if the current economic
downturn, the weakening of the
traditional big energy revenue

sources, is the new normal?

In the last bust, lawmakers
knuckled down and produced the
tax reform 2000 report, a document that recommended a state
income tax. The economy brightened, and the report was shelved.
Today the revenue outlook is
more bleak for the long term, with
decreases in income from all the
major natural resources.
The states total assessed valuation for 2016 is projected to be
$18.7 billion, according to new
state estimates. That is $2 billion
less than 2015 and much lower
than the peak of $29 billion in
2008.
A handful of other states have
dealt with budget deficits by cutting both spending and taxes. The
idea was that the tax cuts would
stimulate create jobs and stimulate economic growth the old
trickle-down theory.
In Kansas, the tax cuts that
benefited higher-income people
at the expense of the low-income
group have essentially bankrupted the state.
In Kansas, Wisconsin, Louisiana and other fanatical tax-cutting and government-shrinking
states, the signs are emerging
that austerity isnt even its own
reward, according to an article in
the Los Angeles Times.
High-income taxpayers may
feel flush for a while when their
rates are being slashed, but when
the consequence is shuttered universities, understaffed schools,
and unemployment spreading
among what should be their customer base, everyone is impoverished. Eventually, the bill comes
due, the article said.
The first big budget cuts in
Kansas came in 2014, two years
after the state passed a law au-

thorizing 25 percent tax cuts to

higher income residents and
eliminating a state income tax on
certain small businesses.
Former Gov. Sam Brownbacks
great experiment resulted in a
major drop in revenues this fall.
The states tiny $6 million general
reserve fund was wiped out; the
states bond ratings fell and 5 percent across-the-board cuts were
rumored for next year.
Critics said further cuts would
damage the public safety and
other state services.
In Wisconsin, the Citizens
for Tax Justice said the strategy
behind Gov. Scott Walkers tax
cuts had not delivered significant
growth but forced the underfunding of the real long term
drivers of economic growth like
the states education system and
infrastructure.
And in Louisiana, buffeted like
Wyoming with declining oil revenues, former Gov. Bobby Jindal
had boasted of slashing the state
budget by a quarter and the state
workforce by one-third.
Since taking office in 2008, Jindal cut taxes six times.
Jindal and the Louisiana Legislature were adamantly against
raising taxes. Instead they sold
state property, raided reserve
funds and made some creative
budget moves to keep the state
out of bankruptcy.
When Jindals successor, Gov.
Bel Edwards, took over, he was
faced with a diminished credit
rating and a $900 million deficit expected to double in future
years.
Those three states are examples
of what Wyoming should not do.

Trump presents substantive ideas

ecently, Donald Trump

delivered a speech in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, that
he should have given much earlier
in the campaign, minus the usual
threats against women who have
accused him of
sexual assault.
The speech,
which was probably written for him
because deep
and thinker are
likely not the first
CAL
two words that
THOMAS
spring to mind
when you hear the
name Trump, set out an agenda
for what he promises to do should
he be elected president.
Trumps promises were divided
into three sections. The first action, he said, would clean up the
corruption and special interest
collusion in Washington, D.C.
Hed start by proposing a constitutional amendment to limit
congressional terms. One can
safely predict that isnt going
to happen because in order for
a constitutional amendment to
be considered for ratification
by the states, it must first pass
Congress. Most members are not
about to limit their own power
and position.
Trump would impose a hiring
freeze on all federal employees,
reducing the workforce through
attrition. The military, public
safety and public health would be
the exceptions. Thats possible.
For every new federal regulation, Trump would ask that two
existing federal regulations be
eliminated. That might work if

Trump could convince Congress

that the regulations he wishes to
eliminate were in fact failures.
Trump wants to institute a
five-year ban on White House
and congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave
government service and also
proposes a lifetime ban on White
House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government. He
also favors a complete ban on
foreign lobbyists raising money
for American elections. These
proposals also might work, but
will require public pressure on
Congress to achieve.
Trump also proposed seven
actions to protect American
workers. These include his familiar promise to renegotiate
NAFTA, or withdraw from it. As
for the Trans Pacific Partnership,
he would pull out completely
with no renegotiation.
China would be declared a
currency manipulator, which it
is, but has Trump considered the
response from Beijing, which
holds an enormous amount of
American debt?
Trump wants to list restrictions on energy producing entities and finish the Keystone
pipeline, which has been blocked
by the Obama administration,
despite numerous studies showing there would be little or no
environmental impact.
Trump would also cancel billions in payments to U.S. climate
change programs and use the
money to fix Americas water and
environmental infrastructure.
Good. Polls show climate change
is not high on the list of public

concerns and many believe the

science to be manipulated,
even bogus.
On national security, Trump
promised to cancel every unconstitutional executive action,
memorandum and order issued
by President Obama. Why not?
Obama did the same with many
of George W. Bushs executive
orders.
Trump again promised to name
judges to federal benches, including the Supreme Court, who will
uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.
He would cancel all funding
to sanctuary cities where illegal
aliens are being sheltered. And
Trump would capture and deport
illegal aliens who commit crimes
and cancel the visas of countries
that refuse to take them back.
That would be popular and difficult for Democrats to oppose. He
again pledged extreme vetting
of people from countries where
terrorism is a major export.
Theres more, including tax
cuts for corporations to create
jobs and bring back companies
and their tax dollars from overseas, as well as school choice to
help especially poor children escape failing schools.
Like them, or not, these are
substantive ideas. Is it too late for
voters to digest them and possibly
for those undecided, or against
Trump, to swing toward him and
away from the big government
promises of Hillary Clinton? Well
know in less than two weeks.

Employment First applies to
programs and services that
provide services and support
to help obtain employment for
persons with disabilities. In
2014 in the state of Wyoming,
only 33 percent of individuals
with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD)
were working in comparison to
81 percent of individuals without disabilities. While we have
made progress in this area, we
still have a long way to go if we
are to provide a life experience

Many of the individuals we
work with have not had the
luxury of working a summer

their lives to find their passion.
In addition, there are other
institutional barriers that often prevent the individuals we
work with in gaining employment. Some of the barriers
presented to individuals with
ID/DD in their pursuit of employment are:
Certificates of completion

Fear or uncertainty from
employers that because of their
disability, the individual presents a greater liability or they

I-REACH 2 Inc. advocates on

the behalf of individuals with

intellectual and developmental
disabilities seeking meaningful
employment. We have visited
with small businesses, municipalities, federal government
and large corporations about
work experience (similar to
interning), carving positions to
meet ones abilities, and publicly advertised positions. Most
employers have been willing to
listen to the challenges individuals with cognitive disabilities face in obtaining employment and in some instances,
employers provide solutions
through work experience and
hiring.
Some of the benefits to hiring individuals with disabilities
include diversifying the workforce and bringing a new perspective to your business. Additionally, you are accessing an
untapped resource of reliable,
enthusiastic and capable employees with many strengths
and talents.
Wont you take the next step
to employ individuals with
disabilities? Consider your
business model and its potential to include individuals
with ID/DD and reach out to a
program like ours to help you
find the best fit for your small
business. Our request of you
also includes a request to our
governmental entities to lead
by example by employing an
individual with a cognitive disability in state, city and county
offices. To successfully implement the Employment First
Initiative, we need the support
and assistance of business and
government. Your support and
assistance will provide deserving individuals a chance at
achieving independence and
success.

ecently, City Council heard

presentations from several
victims of domestic violence
and sexual assault asking to be
heard about their experiences.
This isnt the first time that City
Council has been approached on
this subject. There is an ongoing
sexual assault case
JENNIFER that has been made
very public in the
DYER
recent weeks and
has raised concerns
about the process of reporting and
investigation. In a recent meeting, Council asked for solutions
to address these concerns. As the
executive director of the Self Help
Center, I would like to offer a few
solutions. Although I am aware
that these will not resolve everything I think it would be a great
place for us, as a community, to
start.
Policy: We need to look at the
statutes, regarding domestic violence and sexual assault, that
our officers and prosecutors use
to charge and prosecute offenders. Many times hands are tied
because of poor language and
light sentencing. For example,
the Domestic Battery Statute
6-2-511, calls for not more than
six months of probation for firsttime offenses. It wasnt always
six months, before under the

Aggravated Assault statute 6-2502 it was one year, but legislators overlooked the punishment
portions with the creation of the
new statute. Evidence shows that
the length of programming for
batterers re-education needs
to be 36-52 weeks. If we want to
reduce repeat offenses, then we
need to have the probation period
increased to 12 months allowing us
to provide proper education and
treatment.
Youth education: There needs
to be a cultural shift in thinking
in our community. It begins with
educating our youth on what
respect and healthy relationship
look like. In addition, we need to
have honest conversations about
consent. This happens at the college level, but in many cases this
is too late. Unfortunately, with
the economic downfall our prevention education budget at the
Self Help Center was reduced by
60 percent. Although we have not
reduced services, we are having
to use reserve funds to continue
to offer youth programming. Another issue is that this education
on Domestic Violence Prevention
varies from school to school and
if they would like us to present. In
Casper, we are fortunate to be invited into most schools, although
not all. In other communities this

is not the case.

Community awareness: We
need to work on educating the
community on the importance of
reporting incidents of domestic
violence and sexual assault to law
enforcement immediately. Oftentimes after an event victims are
confused and are unable to process what has occurred. Once they
have this opportunity to process,
the timeframe to collect DNA has
passed making prosecution very
difficult. In addition, we need to
educate the community on the
legal process. Many are unaware
of what is involved and the length
of time it takes to create a case and
have it prosecuted.
Although these solutions will
not eradicate domestic violence
and sexual assault in our community, it is a start. I want to remind
the community that the Self Help
Center is here to offer help and
hope to those affected by domestic violence and sexual assault.
If you, or someone you know, is
experiencing these events please
encourage them to seek help. We
are fortunate in our community
to have so many service providers
that partner and collaborate to
help those who need it.
Jennifer Dyer is the executive director for the Self Help Center.

Wyomingites insurers are saying no

ts a paradox of most every

presidential campaign (and
certainly this one): As the
nations future direction is determined politically, the big problems
and necessary solutions that will
most affect our lives post-election are hardly discussed at all.
For example:
JONATHAN A recent nationwide study by
WILCOX
the Partnership
to Fight Chronic
Disease found that 33 percent
of Wyomingites say their health
insurance coverage is getting
worse and 47 percent have seen
their costs increase. Overall,
Wyomingites say their top health
care priorities for politicians and
government officials should be
managing premium increases,
lowering co-pays and deductibles
and holding insurance companies
accountable.
While this data might sound
depressingly familiar, a closer
look reveals something even more
troubling, and its about more
than just money. Emerging before
our eyes is a practice causing real
harm to patients the denial of
critical drugs by health insurers.
Wyomingites are paying their
premiums, but when a medical
necessity arises, their insurers are
saying no.
Despite doctors prescribing
medications they believe will
attain the best outcome for their
patients, health insurers have exercised their authority over these
assessments and are rejecting
much-needed medications.

The poll backs this up. Twenty

percent of Wyomingites said
the treatment their doctor recommended was not covered by
insurance and 22 percent said the
treatment of someone they know
was not covered.
Think about that for a moment.
One in five might not be a big
number in a head-to-head political election but as a population
of patients denied the treatments
their doctor prescribes? Its
nothing short of astronomical. It
ought to be one in 100 if that.
Is it any wonder that an overwhelming majority of Wyomingites (88 percent) say its somewhat
or very important for health plans
to disclose how often and why
they decide to deny coverage of
doctor-prescribed treatments?
The real tragedy here is that
this twisted system has effectively
turned patients into expenditures
on a spreadsheet and shrouded
by the fact that many patients
forgo the fight for the medications
prescribed by their doctor and
submit to insurer decision in favor
of a less-expensive, often less-effective medication.
If a patient is in the position to
fight, argue, and remain adamant
in the face of insurer denials, they
may eventually obtain access
to these doctor-recommended
drugs. Unfortunately, many patients accept these decisions;
they dont need one more war to
fight.
Advocates and patients must
stand up for their rights and lawmakers and regulators must listen

and develop realistic solutions.

Providers should not capitulate
to insurer pressure by prescribing
cheaper medications, and should
instead facilitate the therapies
they believe are best for their patients.
Insurers cannot operate under
the belief that a patient must fail
first on lower cost medications
before agreeing to provide drugs
doctors have prescribed. Insurers
should be held accountable for
these decisions and they must act
with transparency.
Throughout Wyoming, people
are facing higher health insurance
costs while their insurers continue to deny medically necessary
drugs. When this results in detrimental health effects, who is to
blame? We require doctors to take
an oath to do no harm; should insurers do the same?
While much of the country
debates drug prices, we are unwise to ignore the real harm that
patients in Wyoming say they
are experiencing in the form of
barriers to medical access and just
chalk it up to one more intractable
health care policy fight.
These problems of systemic insurance design arent going away,
and will be waiting for the next
president in 2017 whoever he or
she is. Its a shame that the necessary reform conversation wont
begin until after the election. Wyomingites need help now.

Trump will probably

win in Wyoming

ditor:
E
My name is Joaquin Lang and I
am currently a sophomore at Sir
Francis Drake High School in San
Anselmo, California. We do many
projects throughout the year, and
we are currently in the middle of
a project about the election. We
were assigned a certain state and
told to research it and try to determine what presidential candidate
will win there. One of the states
assigned to me and my groupmates was Wyoming.
I have educated evidence backing my claim that Donald Trump
will get the vast majority of the
votes of the Wyoming people.
There are three main point of evidence my group and I based our
claim off of. The first is that Wyoming is considered a red state
and the majority of the people
voted for the Republican party in
the last five presidential elections
in a row. The second is that the
people of Wyoming do not like the
Affordable Care Act. In fact, the
Cowboy State dislikes the Affordable Care Act so much, it, along
with other states, sued to have it
gotten rid of. It negatively affect
the citizens of the state. The third
point of evidence we found was
the fact that Wyoming is a very
pro-gun state. One is permitted
the right of open carry and you
dont need a state permit to buy a
gun. Ms. Clinton wants to expand
gun laws, but Mr. Trump wants to
lesson those laws and background
checks. All the reasons add up
with the outcome being that Wyoming will vote for Trump.
Thank you for taking the time
to read this letter and I hope it
may finds its way into the Casper

Why does Ryan Greene back
Hillary Clinton if shes against
coal?
Greene understands our coal,
oil, gas and wind energy issues and
will do all he can to ensure our fossil fuels industry remains viable,
understanding it is market, not
government, that controls coal
production. Natural gas is cheaper
than coal and is the driving force
behind our coal industry downturn. He has a plan to diversify our
economy; Liz Cheney doesnt!
He stated that he doesnt agree
with everything Clinton proposes.
He sees the need for Medicaid
expansion to help our workers
with medical costs and a raise in
minimum wage. Cheney is against
it.
Thats why he endorses Clinton
its a matter of principle.
Not endorsing every Democratic issue shows he can think
for himself. That is what I seek in
a representative.
Hes fed up with government by
obstruction and vows to try ending it by working with sitting senators, understanding we need programs eastern coal communities
have retraining coal workers to
work in good-paying jobs outside
the energy industry, creating new
business to diversify economy and
tax base, Cheney has none.
Cheney makes an issue of party
politics to serve her special-interest donors.
This race is about electing a
freshman congressman to protect

Wyomings interests over national

party politics.
If Cheney wants a national office, she should run for a national
office.
I want a candidate focused on
Wyoming issues, not using Wyoming as a springboard to launch
her national political career. Im
tired of being used by the Cheney
family for that purpose!
Her father claimed Wyoming
citizenship because the president
and vice president arent allowed
to be from the same state.
Liz is the inhabitant of a luxury
home in Wilson and that hardly
qualifies her to represent Wyoming. Liz has never held a job or
paid taxes on income earned in
Wyoming; husband Phil works
for a powerful lobbying firm in
Washington.
Ryan has a vested interest in a
Wyoming company that serves
our energy industry in a hands-on
capacity. Who knows most about
how Wyomingites live?

ditor:
E
Wyoming U.S. congressional representative candidate Liz
Cheney is running much of her
campaign promises by claiming
to renege on much of president
Obamas achievements, including
fostering the great Wyoming energy industrys recession. Izat so!
Liz was the younger during the
60s, when the U.S. consumption
of energy production exceeded 50
percent of the worlds consumption, at 5 percent of the worlds
population. Is it less today? At
that time, many people were
concerned as to what would happen when China, India and other
third-world nations would industrialize.
Its about 50 years later and
China has exceeded the U.S.
in fossil fuel consumption and
many third-world nations have
industrialized, producing CO2
emissions at an alarming rate. Is
this Obamas fault? If one is skeptical about global warming, have a
chat with Sarah Palin to alleviate
ones arrogance of ignorance and
become an informed responsible
voter.
Industry will not clean up its act
while profits are at risk, unless the
industry would co-opt its intentions. Government is the safety
net with which leadership vision
could have kept up with the growing energy industry, by cleaning
up its act and when?

enough of refusal to govern. Ryan
Greene is pretty conservative, but
he has expressed a commitment to
working with others to make government work again. The other race Im
watching is Chesie Lee/Bebout. We
need change in the Republican leadership, especially those that have
been there forever, so that decisions
that benefit Wyoming people (like

Report
From A1

In the end, the report examined 12 Game and Fish programs

and found the department suffers
less from an efficiency problem
and more from a public image one.
So often people are asked, do
you want us to do this? Often the
answer will be yes. Often there
isnt a binary choice. If you have
to choose between bird farms and
warden housing, which will you
choose? said Ryan Lance, the
task forces chairman. Thats not
how its been asked.
The report looked at, among
other programs, the departments
bird farms and fish hatcheries, employee housing, elk feedgrounds,
habitat management program and
vehicle use.

It listed some ways the department could run more efficiently

retiring vehicles with low mileage
or increasing the cost of pheasant
permits but most of the recommendations included talking to
the public. The authors also said
fish and wildlife officials should
avoid using public meetings to
assess opinion.
Public meetings usually attract
strong proponents and opponents
of an issue with no measure of the
public opinion in between those
disparate views, the report read.
The department should instead
use various task forces with representation from all sides.
Game and Fish also needs to
work harder on recruiting and
retaining hunters and anglers
and find ways to reach out to
non-consumptive users.
The recommendations gave

Game and Fish director Scott Talbott hope for the future.
We have been in more of a
reactive mode since the budget
cuts, Talbott said. Hopefully if
we went through the public input
process, we could be more proactive to address what the public is
interested in.
Sen. Stan Cooper, a Republican
from Kemmerer who also served
on the task force, said the report
was right on target. The department, he continued, needs to
garner broad public support from
more than just hunters and anglers.
While it could be a challenge to
find money in the departments
budget for public outreach
which can be time-intensive and
costly he said it is critical to the
agencys future.
When Game and Fish officials
faced a budget shortfall in 2008,

in politics when they do not reveal
supporters. The public doesnt
know exactly who is behind the
groups, how much money theyre
spending, how exactly theyre
spending it and what their true
motives are.
Dark money specifically refers to
work to elect or defeat candidates.
And many of the groups funneling
money to influence policy are also
involved in elections, said Chisun
Lee, of the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School
of Law, who recently wrote a report on the rise of the groups in the
states.
Owen refused to tell the Star-Tribune who was backing the Foundation for Government Accountability, although he insisted there was
support from Wyoming.
Leaders of other groups have also
declined to name backers, as is the
case for the libertarian-leaning Wyoming Liberty Group, or did not respond to messages, as was the case
with Wyoming Gun Owners and the
traditional family, pro-life organization WyWatch Family Action, which
is now defunct because its leaders
left the state, according to nonprofit
publication WyoFile.
But in a wide-ranging interview,
the new leader of the Liberty Group
said founder and Gore-Tex heir Susan
Gore continues to generously support
the organization, that a nine-month
fellowship position for an attorney is
paid in part by a grant funded by industrialists Charles and David Koch
and that there are other supporters
in addition to Gore and the Kochs,
although he didnt identify them.
The same refusal to disclose donors comes from the people behind
ELLA WY, Forward Wyoming and
Forward Wyoming Advocacy, the
relatively new trio of activist groups
on the left that are causing so much
rancor among Republicans that the
state GOP this month filed complaints against the groups with the
Wyoming Secretary of State.
In an interview, Jackson resident
Liz Storer, the granddaughter of
American broadcast pioneer George
B. Storer, said she was involved with
groups formations, along with
other people, whom she noted the
law doesnt require her to disclose.
Former Republican U.S. Sen. Al
Simpson said hes been concerned
about the anonymity used by some
political groups since he was in the
Wyoming Legislature in the 1960s.
He tried to get a bill passed back
then to require transparency.
Lawmakers would defeat his bill
each year by saying, Wyoming is so
small; we all know what everybody
else is doing, Simpson said. I said,
Dont give me that.
And now its worse, he said.
Political pragmatism is eroding,
said former Gov. Dave Freudenthal,
a Democrat. Thanks to the activist
groups, Wyoming politics have become like Washingtons, in which a
single vote or issue is more important than the whole, he said.
Were heading to a really difficult
time in Wyoming, with the changes
in energy and the way things are going to unfold, he said. The problem with the single-issue groups is
they essentially say, The adult behavior necessary to be pragmatic is
not important. We will judge you on
a single issue rather than the totality of your career. And I think that
is dangerous.
The groups do more than influence state policy and legislation,
said Gillette Republican Tom Lubnau, who was House speaker in 2013
and 2014.

DAN CEPEDA, STAR-TRIBUNE

People watch the proceedings of the Wyoming House of Representatives

from a viewing room in February at the Jonah Business Center in Cheyenne.
Activist groups and so-called dark money are gaining more power in state
politics, observers say.
People with lots of money are
spending that money to influence
elections, he said.
But Keith Gingery of Jackson, a
Republican who served in the House
from 2005 to 2014, said the groups
do serve a purpose by keeping lawmakers on their toes. The media
cant report on every piece of legislation, he said.
These groups definitely keep
their members apprised of where
bills are in the process that their
members care about, he said in an
email. So in the past, a committee
chair could effectively kill a bill by
just not bringing it up in committee (known as a pocket veto) or the
majority floor leader could hold
bills from getting to the floor... And
it only takes a few emails to let a
committee chairman or the majority floor leader know that someone
is watching.

Campaigning

Earlier this month, voters in

Laramie and Cheyenne received
postcards showing the iconic World
War II-era picture of Rosie the Riveter underneath the words, We
Can Do It!
In 2016, WY legislators considered a proven way to narrow the
gender wage gap through increasing wage transparency in the workplace, the text read. 38 out of 60
voted NO.
In one postcard, sent to voters in
Albany Countys Senate District 10,
the text continued: Glenn Moniz
voted NO. Glenn Moniz: just another lawmaker who thinks women
deserve to earn less.
The mail piece then praised
Monizs opponent, Democrat Narina Nunez, as understanding the
disparity between mens and womens wages, which is one of Americas widest.
The postcard, and others like
it, prompted the state Republican
Party to complain to the Wyoming
Secretary of States office, which
oversees elections. Republicans say
the postcards break state election
law. The secretarys office referred
the matter to the Wyoming attorney
general, said Kai Schon, the state
election director.
On the postcards return address
is a group called Women Lead Wyoming, a project of Forward Wyoming Advocacy, a left-leaning group
that Storer, the Jackson resident,
said she advises, along with other
people.
Forward Wyoming Advocacy is
involved in independent expenditures, in which organizations spend
money for or against candidates.
The political work is legal, as long
as it is separate from candidates
and their campaigns. Whether the
postcards were independent of the
campaigns of Nunezs and other
candidates is the question before
the attorney generals office.
Independent expenditures increased in Wyoming and across
the country after the 2010 Citizens
United case in the U.S. Supreme
Court. In fact, Wyoming Liberty

Group staff wrote a friend of the

court brief arguing in favor of the
political work.
Last election cycle, many Republicans benefited from independent
expenditures of a sister organization to the Wyoming Liberty Group,
Republic Free Choice. But Republic
Free Choice came under heavy criticism by many people including
Republicans who were targeted in
primaries for not being conservative enough.
This year, Republic Free Choice
didnt get involved in any elections
through independent expenditures,
said Jonathan Downing, the new
CEO of the Liberty Group. The Liberty Group is considering what kind
of role, if any, it wants Republic Free
Choice to play in future elections.
Matt Micheli, chairman of the
Wyoming GOP, said postcards and
other campaign materials being
used to attack Republican candidates this year are dishonest. They
attribute positions to Republican
candidates that Micheli said they
do not hold from them wanting
women to earn less to Republican
candidates wanting to sell off all
public lands.
The crux of the GOP officials
complaints there are now two is
that there is too much intermingling
among Forward Wyoming Advocacy, Forward Wyoming, which is
described as an education group,
and ELLA WY. Republicans argue the
intermingling is illegal since many of
the candidates who have hired ELLA
have benefited from the postcards.
The trio of activist organizations
have defended themselves by providing copies of the legal advice they
received from an attorney who instructed them on how to keep the
work of the different groups separate, which includes some of the
groups being located at a different
address in Laramie, according to the
documents provided to the state.
That Citizens United case in the
U.S. Supreme Court was the worst
decision ever made, said Simpson,
the former U.S. senator. Its anonymous money. Im a great believer that
sunshine is the best disinfectant.

they focused on wildlife and fisheries programs they were required

to offer. Public outreach, education
and habitat programs suffered, said
Steve Kilpatrick, a task force member representing the Wyoming
Wildlife Federation and Wyoming
Wild Sheep Foundation.
Unfortunately, education and
habitat programs are the bedrock of the future of a successful
agency, he added. The report underscores the importance of both
of these. It also addresses reaching
out to residents and nonresidents
who dont hunt and fish but enjoy
the states outdoor resources.
Hunting and fishing is crucial
and always will be, but there are
other funding sources we need to
tap into, he said.
In the end, the agencys future
will be about balance.
Everyone wants more and

bigger, and you cant always

have more and bigger, Kilpatrick
said. The trick to me is to get to
the public, inform them of what
is going on, find out what their
wants are and balance that with
the biological reality and political reality.
The task force will meet again
either in December or early next
year before it sends recommendations to the governor.
In the meantime, director Talbott hopes to begin reaching out
to the public as soon as possible.
When we finish this process we will be in a position that
could benefit all, consumptive,
non-consumptive and agency
folks, he said.

are no measure of her core values,

about which Curly never asked her.
Many of the rankings are based on
subjective material such as comments lawmakers make on the floor,
she said.
When voters look at the indexes,
they accept them as sacrosanct,
without considering the difficult
balance lawmakers are trying to
strike. People jump on soundbites
such as it being time to trim the
fat from state government yet
they dont fully understand how
some government cuts will eliminate programs that directly help
their families. Indexes dont explain
such nuances, she said.
It makes me very irate to think
they have the right to do that, said
Harvey, who is leaving the Legislature at the end of the term after
14 years. And in some ways they
really are influencing the outcome
of elections, and yet the people of
Wyoming are not going to be happy
when they get a Legislature thats
that far right.
The Liberty Group has decided
for the time being to abandon the
Liberty Index, said Downing, the
new CEO, because votes on bills in
the middle of the legislative process
dont necessarily reflect lawmakers
final positions. For instance, a lawmaker may vote in favor of a bill in
committee to advance it to the House
or Senate floor because he thinks its
prudent to have a discussion. Then
he will vote against the bill.
Curly has left the Liberty Group.
He told lawmakers in the September
email that he and a friend put together the composite score on their
own time separate from the GOP
and the Liberty Group and without any compensation from anyone.

been largely misunderstood and gets

blamed for actions it played no part
in. Many Wyomingites blame the
Liberty Group for Republican Rep.
Rosie Bergers defeat in the August
primary. She would have been the
first woman speaker in decades. Jonathan Downing emphasizes his group
stayed out of elections this year.
Downing noted his groups other
political activity is allowed under
the Constitution. After all, it is exercising free speech.
He nevertheless declines to list
donor names because critics have
protested them in other states.
Some of their donors had protesters in the front lawn, cars vandalized, he said.
Someone broke into the offices
of the State Policy Network, an
umbrella organization for the Liberty Groups and like-minded organizations in other states, which is
supported by the Kochs. There was
vandalism, he said.
Downing said the Liberty Group
got involved in elections and learned
lessons. The group decided to leave
election work, at least for this cycle.
Wyoming voters may not like
negative campaigning. Politicians
who are its targets detest it.
Maybe the trio of left-leaning
activist groups will learn the same
lessons, Downing said.
Heres where I am: Weve got an
email list full of thousands of people and its good and all. ELLA and
the other stuff has essentially been
a manufactured startup, he said.
I question how many members
are following them. The main piece
here is all our stuff has been public
domain, with the exception (that)
we feel its important to protect
donor privacy.
Storer, during her interview with
the Star-Tribune, didnt criticize
the Liberty Group.
She said there is a difference between the Liberty Group, which is
more of a think tank and a lobbying
organization, and the organizations
shes been involved with.
ELLA and Forward Wyoming Advocacy emphasize grassroots organizing and voter education, she said.
This is much more of a modest
effort, needless to say, she said.
But I get a sense that somehow its
not legitimate for moderates and
progressives to stand up for themselves, which is wrong, obviously.
We need good leadership across the
spectrum in Wyoming.
Both of Wyomings major political parties have benefited from the
groups political endeavors. After
all, it was less work and fundraising that theyve had to do. But both
political parties seize opportunities
to criticize the groups that are ideologically opposed to them.
The Wyoming Republican
Party calls on all Wyoming Democrats who are trying to benefit from
these false claims and misrepresentations to denounce these unscrupulous and potentially illegal
campaign tactics, correct the false
statements in the mailers and to
come clean on the monies they have
paid to this group, said Micheli, the
GOP chairman. Wyoming citizens
deserve better.
The Wyoming Democratic Party
responded:
Between losing top leadership in
the primaries to right-wing extremist candidates, and their steadfast
support for their bigoted and amoral
presidential candidate, Mr. Micheli
and Wyoming Republicans have a
lot to explain. And acting like crybabies while Wyomings progressives
give them a taste of their Citizens
United medicine may not be enough
to satisfy their voters and donors.

Power

The Liberty Group started in

2008. Some of the other right-wing
organizations date back to the early
2000s. The left-wing groups are
newer to the Cowboy State, with
the oldest dating to 2013.
Its no surprise to Paul S. Ryan that
most of the dark money activities
have been from right-wing groups.
Wyoming, after all, is a conservative state and the organizations find
kinship with the public, said Ryan,
a vice president of Common Cause,
an organization that promotes open
and accountable government.
Kochs are a big player, for sure,
as a major player in funding political activities on the right, he said.
There are other bases on support
on the right. Theres a large number
of small donors, typically Christian
conservatives who make up a considerable size of the base for political activity. There are also wealthy
individuals like (casino owner and
Republican donor) Sheldon Adelson
and others like him who get involved
in electoral politics, rather than issue advocacy.
Lee, of NYUs Brennan Center, said she doesnt categorize the
money by ideology. Some of it is
over a single issue. She cited a case
in Wisconsin in which a mining
company targeted a state senator
because he opposed mine permitting by running a slew of ads during
his re-election. The ads appeared to
have come from a labor union.
States laws now on the books do
not encourage transparency, and
states have been slow to change
them, she said.
A lot of these laws really predate
the Citizens United era, she said.
There didnt used to be this much
spending.

Like Pan, Forest also guides her

customers to better their craft
and, ultimately, her goal of connecting them with themselves
and the larger forces that move
the universe. Her customers are
Buddhists, Satanists, Druids, Hindus, Wiccans, followers of Native
American religions and people
who dont belong to any of the
above.
Some are members of communities or local covens groups of
witches while others practice
their magic alone.
They all come together in her
store to buy supplies, as well as
read tarot cards, participate in
meditation classes and perform
seances. Many religions and practices have common themes and
stories, she said, so serving such a
diverse group of people isnt conflicting.
The purpose of the store is to
help people on a religious level
especially if they dont want to go
to a church, she said.
Sometimes curious passersby
will stop in to ask questions or to
see for themselves whats inside
the store. Overall, Casper has been
wonderfully tolerant of her store
and her beliefs, even if they might
seem foreign or strange, she said.
People who just wander in are
either curious or seeking knowledge, she said. There are a few

nay-sayers, but those are people
who dont really believe. They just
come in and argue.
Forest became committed to
metaphysical practices when she
was 13 years old when some of her
friends challenged her to prove
that spirits existed. She invited
them to use a Ouija

board with her.

She quieted herself, then called
out to the spirits.
Spirit, will you please manifest
for us? she said.
She felt the spirit take shape as a
blue cat but didnt tell her friends.
Moments later all the friends

looked sharply at her. They had

seen the blue cat too.
Thats how I knew it wasnt in
my head, she said.
Forest started Pans Grove as
a magazine and catalog in 1993
with her previous husband while
she was in the Navy. She had never

planned to own a metaphysics

business, she said. It just happened.
In 1997 she moved from California to Casper, where she had lived
for a few years as a child, and the
next year Pans Grove took a physical form with the help of her second husband, Randall Klemann.
The store seems out of place
among its more industrial neighbors on South Walnut Street, just
west of the Old Yellowstone District an area the city is attempting to revitalize. Its hand-painted
sign is the only hint of business in
the otherwise abandoned honey-yellow warehouse building.
If it wasnt for Randall, none
of this would have been here, she
said, gesturing to the glass shelves
filled with jars of incense and figurines of gods.
The couple ran the store together until 2010, when Klemann
died in a trucking accident on Interstate 25.
After his death, Forest went
numb. She lost touch with her
feelings. She lost the ability to
empathize with others, she said,
a crucial skill for her tarot card
readings.
I flatlined, she said. For years,
I couldnt structure a sentence
like I am now, I couldnt utter the
words for a spell. I couldnt see
that there was a god or a higher
power.

Trophy
stats used
to deter
poaching
ROB CHANEY

rchaney@missoulian.com

M

A new anti-poaching program developed in Missoula

will use the system hunters rely
on to gauge trophy animals as
a way to improve enforcement
of hunting laws throughout the
nation.
All poaching is illegal and
all poachers should be punished, said Tony Schoonen,
chief of staff for the <span data-mce-mark=1>Boone and
Crockett Club</span> in Missoula. But poaching trophies is
a special sin because it is driven
by greed and potential profit.
When it comes to the poaching
of trophy-class animals, one of
the tools we have available to us
is the clubs big-game scoring
system.
Boone and Crockett developed the industry-standard
measuring system for describing the size and significance of
big game animal antlers and
horns. Former Montana Fish,
Wildlife and Parks biologist
Vickie Edwards has been using
the system to catalog the racks
seized in poaching cases to determine whether state game
wardens are applying harsher
penalties for trophy kills.
Schoonen said many states
dont differentiate between
average and trophy animals in
poaching cases. The result is
an incentive to break the law in
pursuit of more charismatic big
game because the potential fine
is relatively small.
A nationwide survey conducted by the club in 2015
found that almost nine out of
10 hunters support higher fines
for those convicted of poaching
trophy-class animals. And 92.6
percent approve of generally increasing fines for all poaching
cases.
To date, states using the
Boone and Crockett scoring
system as a way to tabulate
more appropriate and severe
poaching fines include Idaho,
Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Montana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and Texas.
For far too long, being convicted of poaching a deer or
another big-game animal has
been akin to getting a speeding
ticket in terms of the severity
of punishment, Schoonen
said. Hunters tell us they want
a set of uniform guidelines to
ensure punishments are equal
to the value we place on our
wildlife resources. The Boone
and Crockett Clubs scoring
system provides a respected,
definitive and consistent criteria for defining a trophy animal and is not subject to the
legal obfuscation employed by
those desperate to avoid criminal conviction.
FWP deploys 72 game wardens throughout the state. Each
covers an average 2,000 square
miles of territory roughly
the size of Delaware. Theyre
backed up by citizen whistle-blowers who make between
1,700 and 2,000 calls a year to
the FWP anti-poaching hotline,
TIP-MONT. The anonymous
evidence-gathering program
has paid out more than $15,000
a year in rewards for information leading to convictions each
year.
One case near Missoula is already underway. On Oct. 7 game
wardens found a bull moose
that was shot and left to waste
on the Warnken Ranch Block
Management Area northwest
of Superior. The yearling bull
was abandoned near the shore
of Bouchard Lake.
The fines for illegally killing
a trophy animal in Montana
can be steep: from $2,000
for an antelope to $6,000 for
a mountain goat or moose;
$8,000 for elk, antlered deer
and a grizzly bear (for which
there is no season). The highest fine is $30,000 for a trophy
bighorn sheep.
Montanans observing poaching incidents can anonymously
report their findings to the FWP
TIP-MONT hotline, 800-8476668, or online at fwp.mt.gov/
enforcement/tipmont.

COURTESY OF STAN HARTER

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is considering exchanging a 240-acre parcel of land near Ocean Lake for a hunting and conservation
easement on 1,880 acres of land on Table Mountain south of Lander.

Land for an easement

Game and Fish
considers land swap
outside of Lander
CHRISTINE PETERSON

307-746-3121,
Christine.Peterson@trib.com

Big game hunters may soon

have access to almost 2,000 additional acres of land outside of

Lander if the Wyoming Game and
Fish Commission approves a proposed swap.
The land would be available as
an easement for elk, pronghorn
and mule deer hunters.
But the addition comes at a cost.
Game and Fish plans to sell about
240 acres of land near Ocean Lake
in exchange for the hunting easement. Upland bird, waterfowl and
small game hunters will still be allowed on the Ocean Lake property
during the bird season, but otherwise the land will be closed.
If this exchange goes through,
it will result in a net gain for wildlife habitat, it will result in a net
gain for hunter access, said Brian
Parker, Game and Fishs Lander
region habitat and access supervisor. It gets to the core of our
missions, conserving wildlife and

serving people. Its not one without the other, which is why we feel
its important to maintain access
on the Ocean Lake property.
Some Pavillion-area residents
worry the swap is not fair since
the department will be trading
land for an easement, but Game
and Fish officials say trades like
these are becoming one of the only
ways to preserve habitat in a time
of tight budgets.
Two to three years ago the department was in quite the fiscal
conundrum; the budget to acquire
easements was zeroed out. We had
to get creative to buy the easement
on Table Mountain, Parker said.
The Table Mountain property
near Lander not only provides
additional hunting access, it also
preserves crucial mule deer winter
range, Parker added. With the exception of a handful of small plots
along a county road and the option
to build a cabin, the easement prevents any future subdivisions and
energy development.
After initial analysis, the deal
appears to be a good one, said Joy
Bannon, field director for the Wyoming Wildlife Federation.
With the decline in mule deer
populations, this deal would safeguard a contiguous landscape in

crucial winter mule deer habitat in

perpetuity, she said. And hunting access would be maintained
for both parcels.
The larger mule deer herd unit
in the area supports about 9,000
animals, Parker said, and about
3,000 of those use the Table
Mountain area throughout the
year.
But Pavillion resident Dolores
Denke worries the department is
trading public land for an intangible easement. She also feels area
landowners were not properly notified of the exchange.
Another Pavillion resident, Deborah Struempf, wrote in a letter to
the Star-Tribune saying: No one
stands to benefit from this land
deal except the private individual
acquiring the public land and those
wishing to hunt in Lander.
Game and Fish officials held a
public meeting Sept. 28 in Lander
about the transaction and plan to
hold another one Thursday in Pavillion. The department also sent
notices to hundreds of pheasant
hunters and ran notices in local
newspapers.
Table Mountain landowner
Howard Killebrew and his family
wanted the deal as a way to conserve his property south of Lander

and give hunters permanent access.

I dont care about having
houses on the top of every mountain, he said. My windows at
the ranch look right out at Table
Mountain where the easement
will be It was a good way to
accomplish when Im gone that
there wont be any houses built
there.
His ranch has historically leased
the Ocean Lake property for cattle grazing, and he plans to use
the land as he has in the past. He
will also guarantee access to the
property should the current private road used to reach the land
be closed.
Wildlife officials will hold a final
public meeting at 6p.m. Thursday in the Wind River Recreation
Center. Public comment is due by
Nov. 7. The Game and Fish Commission will discuss and vote on
the deal during its Nov. 9 meeting
in Sheridan.

easements or trade, call the
Lander Game and Fish office at

I was told many times before

starting my career in journalism
that the profession is as unforgiving as it is rewarding. True to
form, this week has been hard.
But I am proud of the work I have
done in this community.
Lately, I have seen a lot of misunderstanding about how the
news gets from the source to the
pages of the newspaper. There
has been negativity toward journalists and their work on a national scale.
Behind every front-page image there is a photographer who
waited for that perfect moment.
For every high school football
story there is a reporter who spent
his Friday night on the sidelines.
And each newspaper that arrives on your doorstep the day
after Thanksgiving or Christmas
means a team of people worked
through the holiday.
Hidden behind every story are
long days, separated by not much
sleep, dedicated to the job.
Many people in this profession
cant imagine doing anything else
with their lives, and I am one of
them. We work through holidays,
birthdays and summer vacations,
embedded in the community.

THE GEAR JUNKIE

AP

Chad Schaeffer, his wife, Jen Schaeffer, both of Sioux Falls, and Carol Bothe, of Brandon, South Dakota, talk
Oct. 15 about a pheasant Chad had just shot after hunting their final piece of cover during the South Dakota
pheasant hunting opener near Brookings, South Dakota.

performance clothes

A shift in culture as more I

women take up hunting
DANIELLE FERGUSON

Argus Leader

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. The sound

of a gunshot crackled through
miles of soon-to-be combined
land, bringing one pheasant to the
ground in a single plop.
Carol Bothe and her crew spent
the opening day of pheasant season
pushing through fields, waiting for
the perfect shot.
Bothe, of Brandon, is part of a
growing female segment of small
game hunting license holders.
The number of women obtaining
pheasant hunting licenses in South
Dakota has almost doubled in the
last 10 years, reflecting a shift in
culture and the success of hunting
education programs.
In my generation, women
stayed in the kitchen; men did the
hunting, said Maggie Lindsey,
education services coordinator
with South Dakota Game, Fish and
Parks. Now its way more acceptable for women to go out and hunt.
The fathers or whoever is doing the
hunting in the family arent just
taking their sons; theyre taking
their daughters.
In 2015, one in 10 residential
hunting licenses was purchased by
women. Thats twice what it was a
decade ago. The overall numbers in
2015, including out-of-state hunters, women represented about one
in 15, also doubled from the previous decade. More women are traveling to the state to hunt. Just over
1,000 women came from out of
state to hunt in 2005. That number
jumped to almost 4,000 in 2015.
Lindsey, an instructor with
Game, Fish and Parks program
Becoming an Outdoor Woman,
has a mixture of women in their
20s to women in their 50s take the
class. The older women are often
heard saying, my dad would take
my brother but he wouldnt take
me, Lindsey said. Where younger
women are often coming out because theyre curious or want to
learn to shoot a gun and end up loving the sport of hunting, she said.
Keith Wintersteen started a
Womens Hunting 101 class with
Game, Fish and Parks three years
ago with the idea of getting people
in the 18 to 30-year-old range interested in hunting. He teaches the

class the basics of hunting: how to

handle a gun safely and accurately,
where to hunt, what to do with the
kill and what to wear and how to act.
My sense is women are no longer going to put up with, Its a guy
thing, Wintersteen said. No its
not; its for anybody who wants to
be outside.
Jason Kool with South Dakota
Game, Fish and Parks, said women
make up a segment of license holders helping support the overall sales
of small game hunting licenses.
Women are certainly keeping
pheasant hunting alive, Kool said.
Sandra Comer, 45, of Rapid City,
learned how to hunt last year. She
joined Wintersteens Hunting 101
class so she could learn the sport to
pass along to her son.
She was most nervous about the
act of actually shooting the gun and
killing a living thing, aspects Wintersteen said the classmates are
usually the most fearful of.
A patient coach and a lot of
practice at the range helped Comer
move past her fears. Now, she says
she itches to get back outside.
I just love it, Comer said. Now
I cant wait for hunting season to
begin.
Having an all-female class removes some of the stresses of learning the sport, Comer said.
Lindsey agreed, saying women
often take the sport as another
outdoor hobby to do with a group.
A lot of women make (hunting) a bit more social, Lindsey
said. They really need that social
support. Many wont go (hunting)
alone.
Thats not the only difference
between male and female hunters.
Wintersteen said he notices women
tend to be more cautious when pulling the trigger, making sure they
know they have a kill before they
shoot.
When they pull the trigger, something is going to hit the
ground, Wintersteen.
Heather Johnson, who right now
lives in Colorado, but regularly
travels to South Dakota for work,
hunted big game when she was
younger, but dropped the sport
when she went to college. She got
back into hunting about six years
ago when she met Lindsey, who at

WHERE IS IT, WYOMING?

the time was her neighbor.

I love the connection with the
outdoors, Johnson said.
When Johnson hunted growing
up, she was usually the only girl in
the fields, she said. She attributes
the increase to females participating in part to increased education.
People are starting to teach
more and more about nature and
parents are starting to see it isnt
just a boys sport. Young women are
feeling more empowered, Johnson
said.
Johnson plans to return to South
Dakota again this year to hunt
pheasants.
Julie Sasker, president of Outdoor Women of South Dakota,
said introducing women to other
outdoor activities can lead them
to a passion in hunting. She joined
Outdoor Women of South Dakota
eight years ago, when the organization was geared more toward hiking
and kayaking, looking for women to
go hunting with. She found more
women who were looking for the
same thing, and now has booming all-womens classes that fill up
quickly after registrations open.
Another common question female hunters have is what to wear
on the hunt, Sasker said. More
companies are providing hunting
apparel for women, making it a bit
more comfortable to get out there,
she said.
She and Kool collaborate on how
to provide more opportunities for
women who want to learn more.
Now, she said, Outdoor Women of
South Dakota provides more advanced classes for those who took
Becoming an Outdoor Woman.
I thoroughly believe that there is
a place in the outdoors for women,
Sasker said. Even though it is a
male dominated world, theres still
a place for us out there.
The future looks bright, Lindsey
said, especially when women have
daughters to whom they want to
pass along the tradition.
I think more and more women
will get involved, she said. Our
womens programs are hugely popular and they fill up right away. We
always have a demand for more, so
that tells me that theres a population thats hungry to learn this.
They want to do this.

stink I simply hung the shirt up

each night to air out, and its natural antimicrobial facets seemed
to do their trick. Less laundry is
required at home. For travel, this
is a shirt set for wearing multiple
days in a row.
The Hybrid Fitted is one product among a few dozen Tasc sells.
The company has casual clothes,
yoga-wear, and a product line
with merino wool as a primary
component, all blended with
bamboo.
The material comes from India. Tascs founders have been in
the textile business for 60 years,
and over that time have developed a partnership with a family-owned mill.
The company sources most
of its material from this single
Indian facility, controlling production and sustainability facets
that it says are among the most
stringent in the industry.
This is important, as bamboo
has been cited as a polluter due
to a caustic process used to break
down the fibers. Tasc touts a
closed-loop system to keep
chemicals contained during the
manufacturing. The company
cites its bamboo is certified organic and sourced from a forest
certified by the watchdog Forest
Stewardship Council.
Give Tasc shirts a try if youve
long used synthetics and are
looking for a more natural top.
Or, if youre a merino-wool
junkie hoping to save on apparel,
a shirt like the bamboo-cotton
Hybrid Fitted is a good alternative choice for workouts and
everyday wear.

PONY, Mont. As we turned

off of U.S. Highway 283 just at the
edge of Pony, 94.7 FM, the Harrison School District radio station,
ushered us onto the dirt road that
led us into the mountains and to
the hot springs soak we eagerly
awaited.
Charley Pride and Warren
Zevon provided the perfect
soundtrack to our destination:
Upper Potosi Hot Springs.
Since I moved to Bozeman
nearly five years ago, friends from
all walks of life shared stories of
the natural hot springs just outside of Pony.
And this week, I finally found
time to take the trek myself to
soak, my friend Kaj offering to join
me for the afternoon adventure.
The drive from Bozeman to
Pony never ceases to amaze, especially this time of year when
the trees have turned and the
mountains have been dusted with
bright, white snow. The views,
coupled with spotting wildlife

like two bald eagles and a herd

of antelope, made the hour or so
drive west go almost too quickly.
Once to Pony, we turned south
and headed into the woods for
an eight-mile trek to the Potosi
Campground.
That dirt road was full of deep
bumps and pot holes, so we had
to take it slow. But that was quite
all right, as the road runs parallel with Willow Creek, weaving
through farms and ranches, past
sheer rock walls, all the while
heading toward snowy mountain
peaks.
We parked at a completely
empty Potosi campground and
found the trailhead.
A friend we stopped to see on
the way up warned us: Earlier that
month a moose carcass had been
found just a few hundred feet past
the hot springs, meaning bears
were likely in the area.
And he wasnt joking. All along
the trail to the hot springs were
orange signs warning visitors

OBITUARIES
Thomas Reid Schmidt

John H. Bucho, Jr.

Wayne L. McCoy

Casper, Wyoming

Casper, Wyoming

Lusk, Wyoming

October 18, 2016

October 18, 2016

March 17, 1987October 24, 2016

Thomas Reid Schmidt passed away suddenly by

natural causes. A rosary service for Reid will be held
at St. Anthonys Church Wednesday, November 2 at 7:00 pm. Funeral services will be at 10:00 am
Thursday, November 3, also at St.
Anthonys Church.
Reid was born to Jody and Phil
Schmidt on March 17, 1987 in
Casper, Wyoming. He attended
Crest Hill elementary, Casper
Classical Academy and graduated
from NCHS in 2005. He put himself through his higher education,
receiving an associates degree in computer sciences
at Casper College.
At a very early age, it was easy to see that his heart
was bigger than his body. He was a very caring person
who loved his family unconditionally and served as
its protector. Reid was very loyal to his family. Even
through normal family discourse he would always end a
conversation with I love you. Naturally lighthearted,
Reid would try to lighten the mood with some relevant funny quip when he saw people in stages of stress.
This helped his Dad a lot, created havoc for his sisters,
and just made the day better. Reid called his mother
daily and those calls would frequently end with her
a laughn and a giggln.
Reid started working at Greiner//Schmidt Motors at
about the age of six. He, with his siblings, got to pick
up trash and take care of the grounds. As he continued
working at the dealership, Reid filled many positions,
with his last contribution being Manager of Information Technologies. Reid had no mentor in this position. As the dealerships grew, he was able to step in
to the position as a result of his own hard work. This
is no boast, he developed an integrated computer and
phone system for three busy new car dealerships that
had vendors wondering why their huge staffs could
not accomplish what this one person did. It was well
known at the dealerships that when you needed help
with something, whether it be coordinating contractors, knowing where something was, or what had been
done in the past to correct something, he was the go
to person. Reid did not walk the halls of the dealerships, he ran. Reid became his dads partner in travel
to many meetings. Not only was his companionship
pleasurable, but his knowledge of how things worked,
whether in practice or how it could be, was invaluable.
When spending company money (or money on himself for that matter), there wasnt a penny he couldnt
pinch! He was a huge part of the success of the family
business. At the time of his death he had been hired to
work for the corporate offices of Lithia, the company
that purchased the Ford dealership, as a traveling IT
Project Manager.
Reid was the type of person that was always learning something new and then sharing those things with
you. He would tell you attributes of different commercial planes, the best locations and types of an eclipse,
things related to medical advances and on, and on, and
on, and on. At the time of his death he was making
his own phone system, emulating the needs of large,
big brand, multi-user systems. He would spend time
with his younger brothers talking about cars, computer
gaming, or something techno-geek. To this end, Reid
helped his brother James rebuild his 1981 GMC truck
and mined bit coins with his brother Nate. He enjoyed
being out on a 4 wheeler, snowboarding, and experiencing the adventures that travel provided. On a recent
trip he was able to be with his sister Allyson in San
Francisco touring Lucas Films, and the Apple and Google campuses. Allyson and Reid were close in age which
made their communications special and beneficial to
the growth of the family as a whole.
Reid helped others. A friend of his had been tragically injured while in high school. Reid helped him on
a frequent basis and aided him in his diploma walk.
He helped the many organizations his mother was
involved in providing free IT assistance or providing
silent auction certificates for his expertise. He was on
a good path of understanding his place in helping the
social needs of the community at large.
A special gift he gave his little sister, Madelyn, was
her birth date. Long story, but her birth date is one day
after his. This led to the annual battle of who got to pick
the type of cake and meal at their shared celebrations.
Reid lost his best friend, his brother, Evan in 1999.
He was also predeceased by his maternal grandparents,
Russ and Betty McIntire, and his uncle, Greg McIntire.
He is survived by his mother and father, Jody and Phil
Schmidt; big sister, Allyson; younger sister, Madelyn;
and younger brothers, James and Nathan. Additionally, he is survived by his paternal grandparents, Bob
and Prudy Schmidt; as well as numerous aunts, uncles
and cousins.
As flowers wilt with time, in honor of Reid, please
consider giving the lasting gift of money or time to
those agencies which can provide for the health and
welfare of the people of Casper.
Some people stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.

Each week, we will feature a different veteran 50 years after the start of the Vietnam War. Read all the profiles at trib.com/honor.

Diane Mattern holds up a photo taken during her service in Vietnam, reproduced below, at her home in Casper on October 28, 2016.

Dale Bohren, Star-Tribune

LT. J.G. DIANE MATTERN, CASPER

By Douglas R. Cubbison

n December 1967, Diane

Mattern enlisted as a Nurse
in the U.S. Navy. She wanted to see more of the world and
experience some adventure.
Her family had a tradition of
military service, and she wanted to serve her country. Mattern
contemplated the Peace Corps,
but her father quickly put the
kibosh on that in terms that
were not subject to argument.
So the Navy it was.
Mattern had grown up an
FBI brat her father was an
FBI Special Agent. Born in Iowa
as one of seven siblings, she
grew up in Buffalo, New York,
then moved with her family to
Atlanta, Georgia, at the age of
fourteen. She attended nursing school in Atlanta at Grady
Memorial Hospital, the largest
hospital in Georgia and one of
the busiest trauma centers in
the nation.

A NEW ADVENTURE

After enlisting, her first duty

station was at the historic Chelsea Navy Hospital in Boston.
Then in April 1969, she reported onboard the USS Sanctuary,
one of two U.S. Navy hospital
ships cruising offshore Vietnam, affectionately known as
The Great White Whale because of its large size and white
hull paint.
The Sanctuary rotated with
its sister ship, the USS Repose.
One would cruise off the Demilitarized Zone between North
and South Vietnam, while
the other would cruise off the
large U.S. Naval and Air Force
base at Da Nang. About once a
week, they would pass by each
other and rotate their stations.
The two ships remained nearly
continuously on station, being
resupplied under way (known
as UNREPS), only rotating
to Subic Bay in the Philippines
when periodic major maintenance was required.
Mattern was assigned to the
Intensive Care Unit onboard.
Her previous training and experiences at Grady Hospital in

particular served her well in
this assignment. The Sanctuary had a separate ships crew,
which operated the ship itself,
and a hospital crew, to which
Mattern was assigned, that
staffed the Navy Hospital.
The more seriously wounded men were transported from
Vietnam to the Sanctuary by
helicopter, and its landing pad
on the stern of the ship was
busy indeed. Every 1,000th helicopter landing was commemorated. In its first year alone
after arriving off Vietnam in
March 1967, the ship had seen
2,500 helicopter landings.
The wounded, ill and injured only spent the minimum
amount of time onboard the
Sanctuary the hospitals primary role was to stabilize the
wounded so that they could be
evacuated as swiftly as possible
to the next, higher level of care
in the Philippine Islands.
The Sanctuary was an incredibly busy place and operated in all types of weather.
During periods of rough seas,
Mattern remembered having to
secure items, such as glass IV
bottles, and to rig the gurneys
and hospital beds so that they
wouldnt roll around. At times
of intensive combat operations,
lines of stretchers would await
treatment and transportation.
The Sanctuary also intermit-

tently treated Vietnamese civilians. Mattern was aghast at the

poor level of health care and hygiene that most of these Vietnamese civilians endured. Lice
outbreaks were not unknown.

EXPERIENCE ABROAD

Among Matterns memorable experiences, she had the

opportunity to visit the 101st
Airborne Division to meet with
the U.S. Army medical teams
and personnel that transferred
so many wounded and injured
to their ship. She also experienced a landing and takeoff on
an airplane on the deck of the
USS Oriskany and spent a couple of days as a guest onboard
that aircraft carrier.
Her brother was a Staff Sergeant with the U.S. Army, on his
second tour of duty in Vietnam,
assigned to the MAC-V Headquarters in Saigon. When she
visited with him, he was unofficially promoted to lieutenant so
that they could spend time together without being harassed
by humorless Military Police.
Mattern still maintains a
spectacular patch collection, as
trading unit patches was an extremely popular activity. Mattern also had the chance to see
one of the famous Bob Hope
USO Shows at Da Nang Airbase,
although she remarked that she
was so far away that the enter-

tainers looked like ants.

At one point, because of severe weather conditions on the
Vietnam mainland, a number
of Marine combat units experienced numerous grave cases of
immersion foot (the infamous
trench foot of World War I).
A separate ward had to be established to treat their feet, and
Mattern was one of the nurses
detailed to staff it for the duration. The otherwise healthy
Marines, relatively bored and
having been in the field for an
extended length of time, were
absolutely thrilled to have an
opportunity to flirt with American girls, even if they were officers.
Between 1969 and 1971 the
time period within which Mattern served a year as a nurse onboard the USS Sanctuary the
hospital ships crew recorded
an astounding 10,701 helicopter
landings on its flight deck, performed over 4,629 major surgical operations, admitted 13,500
patients and treated a total of
35,005 service members.
Mattern related that she
had no negative experiences.
She completed her tour of duty
onboard the good ship Sanctuary in spring 1970 and took extended leave, touring the world,
including Thailand and Japan,
during her way home from
Vietnam.

LIFELONG SERVICE

After returning home, Mattern switched uniforms from

combat to standard and served
at a U.S. Navy Hospital in San
Diego and several naval medical clinics in California. She
then married Allan Mattern
and moved to Casper. Remaining in the U.S. Navy Reserves,
after the 9/11 terrorist attacks
she subsequently volunteered
for her second war and served
as a Navy Nurse Practitioner in
Kuwait supporting Operation
Iraqi Freedom from January to
September 2005. Afterwards,
she remained at Camp Pendleton, California, until fall 2006.
She returned to Casper and retired with the rank of captain in
February 2007.
Matterns husband, Allan,
is also a retired Navy Captain
and a semi-retired Casper cardiologist. They have two sons;
Dane is currently serving in the
Colorado National Guard, and
Daniel is an EMT.
Naval doctors, nurses and
corpsmen like Diane Mattern
provided a skilled and caring
level of health care to both men
and women in uniform and
Vietnamese civilians, which
saved and improved many
lives. They are the nearly forgotten, but deeply appreciated
and beloved, angels of the battlefield.

US economy growing at strong rate

Its 2.9 percent clip is
the best in two years
MARTIN CRUTSINGER

Associated Press

WASHINGTON The U.S.

economy grew at a 2.9 percent rate in the July-September
quarter, the strongest pace in
two years, as the battered export
sector rebounded and businesses
finally began restocking their
shelves at a faster clip.
The third-quarter gross domestic product, the broadest
measure of economic health,
AP was double the 1.4 percent pace
in the second quarter, the ComA customer buys lunch at Smolak Farms in North Andover, Massachusetts.

merce Department reported

Friday. Economists said that
the better-than-expected GDP
reading put the Federal Reserve
on track to boost interest rates
next month.
This report points to an
economy that may be gaining
traction at last, said Quincy
Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial.
GDP growth went into a pronounced slowdown late last year.
Exporters were constrained by a
rising dollar, which made their
products more expensive on
overseas markets, and businesses
cut back on their inventory rebuilding in the face of weaker

sales.
With the dollar stabilizing,
export sales rebounded in the
summer and businesses picked
up the pace of inventory building. Solid growth is also expected
this quarter.
Paul Ashworth, chief U.S.
economist at Capital Economics, said that the better than-expected GDP report confirms
that the economic recovery has
regained some of the momentum lost within the last year. As
such, this leaves the Fed firmly
on track to raise interest rates in
December.

Oil market
falls again

ess than a month after OPEC

announced a plan to collectively reduce oil production
to boost prices, it appears that
the deal may be falling apart.
Originally, all 14 member nations
and Russia had agreed to work
together to reduce production, but
now nations are asking for exemptions from the pact. Iraq, Nigeria,
Iran and Libya have
all suggested that
WALT
they should be able
& ALEX
BREITINGER to produce at current levels while the
other nations cut
back, which could lead to squabbling among member nations.
Markets are now believing
that the deal will ultimately fall
apart, which would continue the
global oil glut. These expectations
knocked oil prices near the lowest
price of the month, trading Friday
for $49 per barrel.

Soggy oats market

boils higher
Oat prices have exploded this
week, gaining over 10 percent in
just three days on concerns about
the quality and availability of
Canadas crop.
Canada is the worlds largest
exporter of the grain, but cold, wet
weather in the Canadian province
of Saskatchewan has essentially
halted harvest. A quarter of the
crop is still in the field, and some
fear that it may not be harvested
until next spring.
Furthermore, wet conditions
are hurting the quality of the oats,
which could render them unsuitable for human consumption.
Fears of limited supplies boosted
prices to a three-month high at
$2.40 on Friday.
While sometimes ignored by
traders, oats are thought to be
a harbinger of future moves in
the corn market by the old adage
corn follows oats. Should that
prove true again this year, a rally in
corn would be a welcome relief to
U.S. farmers who are finishing this
years harvest.

Strong economy
bolsters copper
The U.S. economy is growing at
a rate of 2.9 percent, the highest
figure in two years, according to
the U.S. governments third-quarter estimate on Friday. This sign of
strength helped cement coppers
10-cent gain this week, trading
Friday near $2.20 per pound.
Copper is an essential component in cars, houses and electronics, making it extremely sensitive
to economic growth. Globally, inventories of copper are shrinking,
especially in China, a further sign
of demand for the red metal.
For consumers, this weeks price
rally shouldnt be a major concern.
Even after the rise, copper prices
are still less than half of their 2011
peak over $4.60 per pound.

Luxury in a downturn
Upscale, extended-stay
hotel opens in Casper
HEATHER RICHARDS

Heather.Richards@trib.com

In the current economic

downturn, its usually struggling businesses that make the

news. But in east Casper an upscale extended-stay hotel quietly
opened its doors last week, braving an economic climate that has
fewer travelers looking for longer
stays.
The Marriott Residence Inn
serves the kind of client that
spends a lot of time on the road,
said manager John Maple. It also
offers the kind of services one
associates with hotels in major
cities.
Need groceries? Leave your
shopping list at the front desk by

9a.m. and youll find everything

you needed tucked into your refrigerator when you get home.
We are a new concept in
Casper, Maple said. There
are two other smaller extended-stay hotels, but Residence
Inn is considered an upscale extended-stay hotel. So we offer a
lot more than some of the other
stuff here in town.
The rooms are furnished, luxury apartments with the added
benefit of daily cleaning services,
free hot breakfasts, a hot tub and
an indoor pool.
From weeknight barbecues to
a full sport court, the Marriott
targets the people who will be
staying in Casper for more than
a few nights.
Thats reflected in the rates.
A two-bedroom suite will cost
$189 a night up to four nights, according to the Marriott website.

That rate drops after five nights.

It drops again after 12 nights and
again after 30. Longer-term stays
are negotiable, Maple said.
At Residence Inn we go after
the extended-stay guest, five or
more nights, which is why that is
where the break in rate happens,
he said.
The hotel broke ground years
ago, when the Wyoming economy was booming and oil prices
were over $100 a barrel.
What the current downturn
may mean for the new hotel isnt
clear.
Oil and gas has affected the
hotel business a little bit. I know
that, Maple said.
The industries are important,
but not the only client for this
type of hotel, he added.
Casper has other business
travelers, as well as a large medical sector with both personnel

and patients staying for longer

periods, he said.
When industry picks up, the
hotel will likely host those customers as well, he added.
Maples been in Wyoming for
eight years and the hotel business for 24. He is familiar with
the boom and bust economy, he
said.
When you start the project, the economy can be going great, he said. When you
break ground, if the economy
drops, you dont just throw up
your hands. You finish the project and try and ride it out till it
gets better.
The hotel has about 30 employees and after an Oct. 19 open
already has guests. Unlike hotels
like the Ramkota Hotel and Parkway Plaza, Residence Inn will not

More changes await users as Twitter tries to grow

gy-driven company, eMarketer
analyst Debra Aho Williamson
said. It seems they would want
(Twitter) mostly for the data that
Twitter has.

BARBARA ORTUTAY

Associated Press

NEW YORK Twitter users are

bound to see changes as the beleaguered service favored by journalists, celebrities, politicians and
cranks tries to broaden its appeal
and attract advertisers.
Thats whether it gets a new
owner or not.
On Thursday, Twitter announced
one immediate change: Its shutting
down its once-pioneering video-sharing app Vine, which has
been eclipsed by the likes of Snapchat and Instagram.
What else might be in the works?
For now, think tons of small tweaks
rather than a 180-degree turn. In a
conference call discussing the San
Francisco-companys quarterly
earnings, an analyst asked CEO Jack
Dorsey if there were any plans for
big, revolutionary product changes.
Weve been making hundreds of
small changes as quickly as we can,
Dorsey responded, adding that users are showing that the changes
are working.
For now, its looking like Twitter
will stay an independent company,
despite months of rumors to the
contrary. But a new owner could
still swoop in, and depending on
who it is, could clean up Twitter
and curb some of the nastiness
thats become synonymous with it.
Or perhaps a new owner would just
show more ads. Or let it languish
while it mines the best of what
Twitter now has into its existing
products and services.
All of this is speculation, of
course, and there might not even
be a new owner. Twitters stock
has plunged after rumored bidders
are, well, rumored to be no longer
interested. On Thursday, the company announced that it would cut 9
percent of its workforce globally as
its revenue growth slowed.
While its adjusted earnings beat
Wall Street expectations, it reported a loss of almost $103 million
before one-time charges and costs
are removed.
A new parent whether thats
Google (huh?), Salesforce (who?)
or Disney (hmm ...) could inject
fresh life into a 10-year-old com-

The little bird falls

out of the nest
Remember MySpace? It was
the social network before Facebook came along. News Corp., the
stodgy media conglomerate, bought
it for $580 million in 2005. But users
started falling off as MySpace failed
to keep up with Facebooks speedy
innovations. After layoffs and failed
relaunches, News Corp. sold the
fallen giant for $35 million in 2011,
and that was just about the end of it.
Its not unthinkable that Twitter could suffer the same fate under a big media company.
AP

The Twitter symbol appears above a trading post on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Twitter,
seemingly unable to find a buyer and losing money, is cutting about 9 percent of its employees worldwide.
pany thats never turned a profit
and remains confounding to many
people. Of course, none of these potential suitors have acknowledged
interest in Twitter, let alone their
plans for it. Even if Twitter stays
independent, drastic changes to its
service might just be what Twitter
needs to be competitive with Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat.
How might it change?

Twitter becomes more

like its new owner, if
there is one
Facebooks absorption of Instagram and WhatsApp in recent
years could offer clues. Both services have kept separate identities,
to an extent, and have experienced
user growth. But slowly, they are
acquiring Facebook-like features.
For example, Instagram no longer
presents feeds chronologically;
they are now sorted much like Facebooks news feed, using some secret
formula known only to Facebook.
Though the change has turned
off some early Instagram users, its
user base has soared to 500 million
as of June. Thats nearly 200 million

more than Twitter, even though Instagram is three years younger. As

Instagram gets more users and a
mainstream appeal, its content has
diluted somewhat. But many of the
street photographers, graffiti artists
and tween mini-celebrities who
made Instagram what it is are still
there maybe just harder to find.

Stays the same

but with more ads
Twitter has never turned a profit,
and whoever buys it will need to fix
this. That means boosting the user
base, so advertisers would follow.
That also could mean better targeting, so that ad rates go up.
Google, anyone? The search
giant is the leader in online ads.
Imagine what its might and muscle
could do to Twitters ad business.
YouTube hardly had any ads when
Google bought it; now, ads are so
prevalent that YouTube is able to
charge $10 a month for an ad-free
version called Red.
Instagram has also inserted
ads into users feeds of perfectly
composed snapshots featuring
everything from cappuccino foam

to seafoam. It started out slowly

with a carefully curated ad here and
there, but today youre not likely to
avoid ads when opening the app.

A tool for brands,

not revolution
Jonathan Cowperthwait, a Twitter user since 2008, said hed be
worried if Google bought Twitter
because the online search giant is
the worst at social services that
aim to foster online interactions,
beyond email. Its Google Plus
service never took off; Orkut and
Dodgeball closed. Cowperthwait
said that rather than let Twitter
live independently, Google might
try to shoehorn it back into their
own social product.
Salesforce, a company that provides internet services to businesses, has also been mentioned
as a contender, leading to a lot of
head-scratching among users.
Would Twitter become a business
product, used for customer service
and marketing instead of revolutions, neo-Nazi memes and political outbursts?
Salesforce is a very technolo-

Silence!

Walt Disneys reputation as a

squeaky-clean, family-friendly
company is perhaps the clearest
antithesis to Twitters soul, as
many users see it even though
Disney is much bigger than
Mickey Mouse and owns ABC,
Marvel and the Star Wars franchise, among other properties.
My chief fear is that Disney
will wield Twitter as one large PR
machine to prop up their image
and squash dissent, said Timothy Hayes, an Ohio State University student who says he fell in
love with Twitter in high school.
The Mouse is not above silencing
(its) opponents.
Some users, on the other hand,
might welcome some thorough
housecleaning that goes beyond
the steps Twitter is currently
taking to curb abuse and nasty
behavior on its service. One Twitter user, New York attorney Danny
Mann, says that while Google has
improved YouTube in ways that
were unimaginable at the time,
he finds many of his fellow YouTube users difficult to deal with.
In this sense, its possible that
even with Googles weight behind
it, the abusive and nasty nature of
many Twitter comments would
remain as is.

Amazon courts food shoppers with grocery delivery service

MAE ANDERSON

Associated Press

NEW YORK Amazon

wants you to order your turkey, stuffing and cranberry
sauce online this Thanksgiving its latest effort to
make its Prime subscription
service a central part of food
shopping, much the way its
done for other consumer
goods.
Right before the cooking-heavy months of November and December, Amazon rolled out a monthly
payment option for its grocery delivery service, AmazonFresh. On Monday it
expanded to several new
cities including Chicago and
Dallas.
Amazon which has been
working on expanding grocery delivery since 2007 is
taking aim at the $650 billion
grocery industry. Its a highly
competitive arena filled with
rivals like Wal-Mart and Instacart trying to lure customers away from traditional
grocery stores. Some reports
suggest that Amazon plans
to open grocery stores of its
own, but the company has
declined to comment.
Grocery is a massive mar-

ket opportunity for them,

said R.W. Baird analyst Colin
Sebastian. Its a notoriously
tough business with low
margins, since its expensive
to store and transport produce. But Amazon has spent
years ironing out the kinks
with its delivery service, he
said.
Amazons near-decade of
experimentation gives them
the scale and expertise that
comes with time, allowing
them not only to fine tune the
service, but also perhaps accelerate the rollout into other
areas, Sebastian said.

Humble beginnings

Amazon started its grocery delivery business

around its home town of
Seattle, and has since expanded to about 18 cities
and regions, including London and New York. It has
changed its pricing structure, too, having started with
an annual $299 fee that included Prime membership.
Its monthly pricing program
$15 a month for members
of its $99-a-year Prime loyalty program started earlier this month.
Amazon doesnt disclose

whether or not grocery delivery is profitable, but analysts say its probably not.
Rather, its a way to drive
revenue growth and hook
users into the idea that they
can buy every product from
Amazon.
They have a user base
with Prime that is inclined
to use Amazon, and theyre
clearly leveraging that loyal
membership base, Sebastian said. Amazons monthly
pricing model could indicate
the business has become less
of a money loser.
I think theyve gotten to
the point they can be more
flexible, Sebastian said. Its
an expensive business to run
and that flexibility in pricing
shows theyve gained some
efficiencies.

Ever-expanding
Prime
Amazon has been continuously adding services to
its Prime loyalty program,
which offers free two-day
shipping on many items
and boasts an estimated 65
million members (Amazon
does not disclose the figure).
It also includes streaming
music and video, photo storage and other perks. Adding
services like grocery delivery and original video programming costs money, but
Amazon founder and CEO
Jeff Bezos says its worth it
because Prime members
spend more at Amazon.
If you become a Prime
member you buy more from
us, he said at a luncheon in

New York on Thursday. And

people that watch Prime
Instant Video, for example,
are more likely to convert
from free trials to paid Prime
membership, and are more
likely to renew their Prime
membership in subsequent
years, he said.
Thats what closes the
loop from the business angle, he said.
After posting little to no
profit for years each quarter
as it invested in its business,
Amazon has begun to balance spending with revenue more prudently and has
reported a profit in each of
the past five quarters. On
Thursday, Amazon said net
income tripled to $252 million, or 52 cents per share,

from $79 million, or 17 cents

per share, in the prior-year
quarter. That missed analyst
expectations of 85 cents per
share, according to Zacks Investment Research.
Revenue jumped 29 percent to $32.71 billion in the
period, which topped Street
forecasts. Twelve analysts
surveyed by Zacks expected
$32.57 billion.
For the current quarter
ending in December, Amazon said it expects revenue
in the range of $42 billion to
$45.5 billion. Analysts surveyed by Zacks had expected
revenue of $44.7 billion.
The third quarter is a seasonally light one compared
to the bustling holiday
quarter coming up.

Rising star: YouTube playing

key role in Googles success
MICHAEL LIEDTKE

Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO

YouTube has emerged as a

break-out star in Googles
cast of services as the online video site upstages cable television for a younger
generation of viewers looking for amusement, news
and music on their smartphones.
The trend is contributing
to an advertising shift away
from traditional network
television programming to
the more eclectic and diversified mix of clips ranging from cute cat videos to
sobering shots of street violence found on YouTube.
As more advertising
dollars flow to YouTube,
its making the already
hugely profitable Google
even more prosperous. In
a third-quarter report released Thursday, Googles
corporate parent, Alphabet Inc., said it earned $5.1
billion, or $7.25 per share,
a 27 percent increase from
the same time last year.
After subtracting advertising commissions, revenue
climbed 21 percent to $18.3
billion. Both figures topped
analyst projections.
All that money is providing Google with more
financial firepower to buy
the rights to stream cable networks shows on
YouTube, too, something
likely to reel in even more
viewers. It also is helping to
finance Alphabets investments in far-flung projects
ranging from self-driving
cars to internet-beaming
balloons. That segment,
known as Other Bets, lost
$865 million during the July-September period, narrowing from a $980 million
setback last year as Alphabet imposed more expense
controls.

Smart deal

YouTube already has

proven to be one of the
best bets that Google has
ever made since it bought
the video site for $1.76 billion a decade ago. At that

juncture, YouTube consisted mostly of crudely
made videos shot by amateurs and clips pirated from
movie and TV studios that
were threatening to sue the
site into oblivion. It had
built a worldwide audience
of about 72 million viewers
when Google took control
in November 2006.
Since then, YouTube
has evolved into a far
more polished channel
that has spawned unlikely
stars such as PewDiePie
(Swedish comedian Felix
Arvid Ulf Kjellberg) while

Wal-Mart, Target each take cue from the other

ANNE DINNOCENZIO

Associated Press

NEW YORK Wal-Mart and

Target are each taking a cue from
the other this holiday season.
After years of emphasizing low
prices, Wal-Mart wants to up the
ante, but it also wants to be known
for top customer service. Target,
which has a better image in that
regard, has stressed a focus on offering deals.
The shift underscores how traditional retailers have to perfect
every aspect of their operations
as shoppers who could easily shop
online instead become more demanding about price, selection
and service. With online leader
Amazon.com cementing customers with its juggernaut Amazon
Prime shipping service, retailers
like Target and Wal-Mart need to
offer more exclusive merchandise.
Heading into the critical holiday
shopping season, Wal-Mart has
the momentum. The Bentonville,
Arkansas-based company raised

shorter lines or even run back to

the aisles to pick up an item someone forgot.
Its adding staff to handle customers picking up online orders
at the stores, and designating a
manager for that area. During
the holiday season, Wal-Mart
sees five times as many sameday pickup orders compared to a
normal week. The goal: To make
sure shoppers have an easy experience when they come to collect
their orders.
We want to serve the customer
as they want to be served, WalMarts Chief Operating Officer
Judith McKenna said at a store
in Teterboro, New Jersey, on
Wednesday.
For service, Target is also focusing on making online ordering
and pickups easier. Starting Nov.
1, itll have 1,106 stores that will
ship directly to online shoppers,
double the current number. That
should speed up delivery, and
Target will be able to fulfill more

its profit outlook in August after

reporting its eighth consecutive
quarterly increase in a key revenue
measure. Target had cut its profit
forecast as customer traffic fell for
the first time in a year and a half
during the second quarter. Its key
revenue measure also fell.
Wal-Mart has been benefiting from better service and for
this holiday season, it should be
a boon, said Ken Perkins, president of research firm Retail Metrics LLC. I expect Wal-Mart will
outpace Target. Target has a big
price hurdle.

On service

Wal-Mart has been working to

improve service in its stores, and
its move to raise wages and increase training for hourly workers
has helped.
For the end of the year, the
worlds largest retailer plans to
deploy holiday helpers stationed at the checkouts, who can

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates

Oil-rich Gulf countries face
further economic strain as crude
prices remain low, requiring them
to cut back spending and raise
money other ways, the heads of
the International Monetary Fund
and the U.S. Treasury have said in
recent visits to the region.
Both IMF Managing Director
Christine Lagarde and Treasury
Secretary Jacob Lew traveled to
Saudi Arabia to speak to the kingdoms rulers, as well as other officials of a regional bloc called the
Gulf Cooperation Council.
The nations face increasing
strains on their petroleum-powered budgets. Oil prices, above
$100 a barrel in mid-2014, have
been halved since and now trade
under $50. Thats forced countries
in the region to abandon or slow
construction projects, cut salaries
and benefits and combine government ventures.
On Wednesday, Lagarde said
more needs to be done in Gulf

countries, including lifting expensive government subsidies on

fuel and starting a region-wide
value-added tax. While every
country in the region has cut back
some on fuel subsidies, Lagarde
warned that prices remain too
artificially low. The region-wide
value-added tax also likely remains years away from being implemented.
The reforms that the GCC
countries have been implementing over the past year in response
to the decline in oil prices are
impressive, Lagarde said in prepared remarks. Continued fiscal
adjustment will be needed over
the medium term.
Lew on Thursday said the challenges provide an opportunity for
the GCC to diversify its economy, expand opportunities for
your people and widen the financial base in order to make available additional resources to meet
growing development needs.
Lew also applauded efforts by
Gulf countries to cut funding to
militant groups.

Economy
From C1

M
1

The GDP report was one

of the last major economic
reports the government will
issue before voters go to the
polls on Nov. 8. Republican presidential candidate
Donald Trump has cited
anemic GDP growth rates
as evidence that Democratic
economic policies have not
worked.
Even with the acceleration
in the third quarter, economists believe growth for the
entire year will be a lackluster 1.6 percent, reflecting the
weak start to the year. The
economy grew 2.6 percent
for all of 2015. This recovery
from the deep 2007-2009
recession has been the
weakest in the post-World
War II period, with growth
averaging just 2.1 percent
over the past seven years.
The GDP growth rate in
the third quarter was the
economys best showing
since it expanded at a 5 percent rate in the third quarter of 2014. In the final three
months of last year, growth
slowed to a 0.9 percent rate,
followed by weak gains of 0.8
percent in the first quarter
this year and 1.4 percent in
the second quarter.
Economists expect growth
to remain solid in the current
October-December quarter,
but at a slightly slower pace
of around 2 percent.
For the third quarter,
much of the rebound reflected growth in exports,
which rose at a 10 percent
rate. That was the fastest
pace since late 2013. A narrowing trade deficit added
0.8 percentage points to
growth.
Another major contributor was stronger inventory
building, which added 0.6 of
a percentage point to growth
after trimming it by 1.2 percentage points in the second
quarter.
Consumer
spending,
which accounts for twothirds of economic activity
grew at a solid 2.1 percent
rate but slower than the 4.1
percent spending burst in
the second quarter.
Economists believe consumers will continue to support growth in the current
quarter and into 2017.
The consumer should
continue to power the economy. The job market is very
strong, unemployment is
low and wage growth is
picking up, said Mark
Zandi, chief economist at
Moodys Analytics. I dont
see any constraints on the
consumer.
The export rebound reflected in part a surge in
soybean shipments during
the summer to South America, where the local crop
had been devastated by bad
weather.
Business
investment,
which has been hurt by cutbacks in the energy industry, showed a 1.2 percent
rise in the third quarter. But
residential
construction
slumped for a second quarter, falling at a 6.2 percent
rate after a drop of 7.7 percent in the first quarter.

Book Pros at those prices, along

with less expensive MacBook
and MacBook Air models. But
its cheapest laptop, the 11-inch
MacBook Air for about $900,
will be sold only to education
markets.
The company is also replacing
some computer ports with new
outlets compatible with USB-C
standards, which can be used
both for charging and transferring data. Connectors with
USB-C technology can transmit
data faster than older USB jacks.
They are also smaller and have a
symmetric shape, which means
the USB-C jack can be inserted
with either side facing up. But
older USB printers and other
devices will need adapters. The
new Macs still have traditional
headphone jacks, unlike the latest iPhones.

Laptops vs. tablets

Sales of the Mac have been in

a slump this year, after a streak
of growth in 2014 and 2015 that
seemed to defy global trends.
Consumers generally are buying fewer PCs and using smartphones or tablets instead.
Apple itself has promoted its
latest iPad tablet, the iPad Pro,
as capable of replacing the laptop
for many users. And in contrast
with the Macs earlier years
when Apple marketed its computers to people who saw themselves as creative professionals

or just independent thinkers

Apple also has begun promoting the Mac as a computer for
businesses, which once mostly
used competitors PCs running
Microsofts Windows software.
Microsoft, meanwhile, has begun selling its own line of highend Surface laptops and this
week introduced its first Surface
desktop PC. Analysts say the new
Surface Studio has a premium
price and features that will most
likely appeal to visual designers
and other creative professionals
an area that has been Apples
strength. Microsoft has boasted
about modern controls with
touch screens; the Touch Bar is
Apples answer to that, placed
near the keyboard where peoples
fingers are already.
For Apple, the Mac line has
been eclipsed financially by other
products first the iPod and now
the iPhone that have made far
more money in recent years. But
the Mac has been important for
Apple since co-founder Steve
Jobs introduced the first model in
1984. It commands intense loyalty from fans. The Mac is more
than a product to us. Its a testament to everything we do and
everything we create at Apple,
CEO Tim Cook said Thursday.

feature that shows recommendations and new episodes of recently watched shows, so viewers
dont have to search through different apps to find them. Amazons Fire TV is taking a similar
approach with a software update,
though the unified experience
will be part of the home screen,
not an app.
Apples app, though, is short of
a full-fledged streaming-TV service, which reports say Apple has
been pursuing. Rather, it brings
together TV shows and movies
viewers already get through individual subscriptions. The TV
app, coming in December, will be
synced with iPhones and iPads,
so viewers can catch the next episode regardless of device. Apple
said its Siri voice assistant will
also direct viewers to live events,
such as streaming sports.
Apple said Apple TV already
has 8,000 apps, including more
than 2,000 games. The addictive

come later this year.

Fewer apply for

unemployment
CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER

Associated Press

WASHINGTON Fewer Americans sought unemployment aid

last week, a sign that businesses
are holding onto their workers and
hiring is likely solid.

The numbers

Weekly applications for unemployment benefits fell 3,000 to

258,000, the Labor Department
said Thursday, not far from the
43-year low reached last month.
Applications have been below
300,000 for 86 straight weeks,
the longest such streak since
1970.
About 2.04 million people are
receiving unemployment aid, the
government said, the fewest since
June, 2000.

The takeaway

Applications are a proxy for

layoffs, so the low level suggests
companies are cutting few jobs.
That typically means they are
willing to add workers as well.
Hiring has slowed a bit in the
past few months, but is still strong
enough to lower the unemployment rate over time. Employers
added 156,000 jobs in September,
a modest gain.

Tate artifact among top 10

STAR-TRIBUNE STAFF

The Wyoming State Historical

Society has announced the winners of the states Top 10 Artifacts, chosen from more than
2,000 votes submitted online.
Among them are Bens Big
Turtle, from the Tate Geological Museum at Casper College,
which finished ninth.
This is the societys second
year of hosting this project in
partnership with the University

president, Tamsen Hert, said
the project was designed to draw
awareness of historic collections
at the states cultural institutions, and added, last year the
Top Ten program was received
with such enthusiasm that we
agreed to continue it.
Institutions from across the
state were contacted and invited
to submit their most unique
artifacts. The submissions
included documents, books,
fossils, clothing, artwork and
much more, each one showcasing a unique corner of Wyoming
history. That effort brought in
more than 40 nominations from
institutions across the state. A
panel of judges helped in narrowing the selection to 25, and
then the general public voted to
narrow the nominees down to
the top 10. Additional assistance
came from Steve Boss and Mark

the technology and support in

Good Shepherd sets

unity service
The community is invited to a
special service for encouraging
greater unity between Lutheran
and Catholic churches in our region at 9:30a.m. Sunday at Good
Shepherd Lutheran Church, 51
Primrose St. in Paradise Valley. Lutheran churches around
the world will mark Martin Luthers posting of the 95 Theses

in 1517 with special services on

Sunday. This will set the stage for
the 500th observance next year,
which will be observed by many
Catholic and Lutheran Churches
worldwide.
Join us for this special service as
we take a major step toward recognizing how many Catholic and
Protestant churches now recognize more of the things we share
in common.
During the Sunday service,
members of Good Shepherd and
the Rev. Jack will read from the
Common Prayer developed by
the Lutheran World Federation
and the Pontifical Council for
Promoting Christian Unity.
In the Lutheran-Roman Catholic Commission on Unity document From Conflict to Communion, we read, The church is
the body of Christ. As there is only
one Christ, so also he has only one
body.
In the Common Prayer, we
read, Encouraged by the Second
Vatican Council, Catholics gladly
acknowledge and esteem the truly
Christian endowments from our
common heritage which are found
among our separated brethren.
... In this spirit, Catholics and
Lutherans embrace each other as
sisters and brothers in the Lord.
Together they rejoice in the truly
Christian gifts that they both have
received and rediscovered in various ways through the renewal and
impulses of the Reformation.

church, visit our website at goodshepherdlutheranchurch.biz.

Animal portraits at
Casper College gallery
The next exhibit at the Mildred
Zahradnicek Gallery will feature
Animal Portraits created by
Casper College Art Instructor Justin Hayward. The exhibit will run
through Tuesday, Nov. 22.
The series, Animal Portraits
was inspired through my personal encounters with wild animals in their natural habitat. As
I interacted with these animals,
I felt some discomfort, but was
aesthetically intrigued by their
truth, instinct, and innocence,
says Hayward. Each portrait in
the exhibit represents Haywards

attempt to capture the unique personality of each animal, along with

an element of humor achieved by
creating formal portraits, such
as if the animals had modeled for
their headshots, he says.
Originally from Traverse City,
Michigan, Hayward began his
teaching career at Casper College
in the fall of 2007. An instructor
of both drawing and painting, he
received his B.F.A. in illustration
from Brigham Young University
and his M.F.A. from the New York
Academy of Art in painting. Hayward has exhibited in many galleries and national juried shows
including the Outwin Boochever
Portrait Competition at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery
for which he was a commended
artist and finalist.
The Mildred Zahradnicek Gallery, located in the Music Building
on the Casper College campus,
is open Monday-Thursday from
9a.m.-4p.m. and is free and open
to the public

This will be a night of fun, food,

family, and facts about Casper
College, hosted by Don Juan Mexican Restaurant, says Kyla Foltz.
This evening event is perfect
for Hispanic and Latino community members to explore the
education and career options at
Casper College, says Foltz, director of admissions services at
Casper College. According to
Foltz, attending college is a likely
aspiration for many Hispanics
and Latinos in Natrona County,
but that aspiration might seem
unattainable. The welcome-night
event is designed to help future
students and their families learn
about the help and opportunities available at Casper College
including English as a Second
Language classes, high school
equivalency classes, and admission to Casper College to earn a
certificate or degree.
Those who attend will be able to
dine with Casper College faculty,
staff and students at no charge
in a fun and casual atmosphere.
We are thankful to Don Juans
for partnering with us for this
important event, Foltz notes.
No RSVP is needed, but Foltz
encourages attendees to arrive
between 5 and 6:30p.m. Don Juan
Mexican Restaurant is located at
144 S. Center Street in downtown
Casper. For more information

it builds anticipation,

number of
wonderful
outcomes, tricks and illusions. This is the abra
before the cadabra.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY
(Oct. 30). Tune in. Your
senses wont lie to you.
Next month, youll get that
tingle of excitement that
tells you youre about to
get on a hot streak. Family
and your fortunes are all
wrapped up together. The
end of the year is so romantic. December changes
the game. March folds
your plan into a bigger one.
Adventure! Cancer and
Sagittarius adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 3, 20,
22, 24 and 14.
ARIES (March
21-April 19). If a goal does
not have an end date and
a time frame to pin things
on along the way, its not
really a goal. Its better to
have one aim thats set to
the music of time than 10
aims that are not.
TAURUS (April 20May 20). Theres the
role youre in and the role
youll be in eventually.
Think about and manage
both simultaneously. This
process of becoming will
be seamless as you project
yourself into the future of
your making.
GEMINI (May 21-June
21). There will be an opportunity for a possibly
uncomfortable, possibly
liberating bit of honesty.
Weigh this carefully. You
can shear a sheep many
times, but you can only
skin it once.
CANCER (June 22July 22). The third act:
Thats the one thats supposed to tie it all together
and make sense of it. Well,
it doesnt always happen so neatly, and that is
whats going on today a
fun little mess that will all
work out in the end.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Youre still unsure about
how much to share in a
relationship. If you keep it
cordial and only talk about
socially acceptable topics,
you run the risk of being
boring and also sadly unexpressed. You can afford
to go deeper.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22). You dont have to
travel far for your happiness today; nor do you need
to look beyond your immediate environs for answers.
Your best guess is as good
as anyones. Trust yourself,
and use what you got.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23). Just as the oceans
cant help but follow their
master, the moon, people
have their own natural
attractions. To resist them
is a futile waste of energy.
How can you make your
proclivities work for you?
SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Kindness and
acceptance are not only
qualities that get you
through life with a fair
amount of grace; for you
they are also deeply ingrained daily habits. Expect no less from those in
your inner circle.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
22-Dec. 21). One way to
make life better is to find
satisfaction before fullness
in all things. Get what you
need and a little more, but
dont allow yourself to
have all that you can fit.
Leave room.
CAPRICORN (Dec.
22-Jan. 19). Do talk of
your achievements so
others get a fuller picture
of what youre about. A
brief mention is all it takes.
More than that and youll
seem insecure.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Keep working to
establish habits. Cyclical
forces will pull you along.
It may not feel like youre
doing too much, but these
small daily efforts are important. They mean more
than you think, and theyll
change more, too.
PISCES (Feb.
19-March 20). What is
needed to polish your jewels to brilliance? Friction.
This requires some muscle
from you and maybe some
technique, too. But without the uncomfortable
rub, life will lack luster.
Without friction there is
no shine.

CASPER STAR-TRIBUNE

You need to be happy with yourself

ear Annie: I cant

seem to catch a
break when it comes
to my love life. Im a serial monogamist; I began
dating at 18,
and I havent spent
so much
as a month
single since.
But it seems
as if just
ANNIE
about every
LANE
guy Ive
dated ends
up being a
cheater or a deadbeat.
Prior to my current
relationship, I was with
Ray, who was underemployed. I had just received
an inheritance (he didnt
know about that when we
started dating), so I had
no problem being generous at first. Gradually,
I found myself paying for
all his expenses. He didnt
have a car, so I let him use
mine. He never filled up
the tank. I started to find
his laziness and lack of
ambition unattractive.
Thats when I started
spending time with
Derek, who is a chef at
the restaurant where I
work, in a different light.

Long story short, I broke

things off with Ray and
started seeing Derek.
I thought things were
going great. But a few
weeks ago, I went to use
my laptop and noticed
he was still logged on to
Facebook. In general, I
try not to snoop, but I
couldnt help it this time.
I saw the most recent
message, which was from
a girl, and theyd been
talking regularly for the
previous two months
flirting, sending each
other selfies. I confronted
Derek, and he insisted that
theyre just friends.
I dont really believe
him, but I cant bring myself to leave him. I dont
know whether theres
anyone better out there.
What is it with guys today?
Serially Disappointed
Dear Serial: Youre
jumping from relationship
to relationship as a kid
hops between couch cushions in a game of hot lava.
What is so perilous about
being single that you rush
into shoddy relationships
with men you dont much
care for? Thats not just
a rhetorical question. I

mean for you to really look

inward and do some reflecting.
Instead of searching for
your next boyfriend, you
should be finding yourself. Break up with Derek.
Dont date anyone for six
months. Until you learn
how to be happy with
yourself, you wont be
happy with a partner.
Dear Annie: I just read
in todays newspaper that
pigs, dogs, cats and other
pets will now be allowed
on airplanes as therapy
animals.
I do not like animals in
places where people live,
such as inside homes or in
other confined places. As a
child, I was severely traumatized by a dog, and ever
since, I havent wanted
to be in confined spaces
with animals. I travel on
airplanes several times a
year. What are my rights
to not have to be subjected
to this added stress?
Petless in New York
Dear Petless: Victims
of dog attacks suffer psychological scars long after
the physical wounds have
healed, and you have my
sympathy in that regard.
But lets not disparage

therapy animals the

loving, furry heroes who
have been helping people
with disabilities for years.
In terms of what your
rights are: I know that
airlines accommodate
allergic passengers by
reseating them when necessary or, when thats not
an option, by placing them
on the next available flight
free of charge. If youre
at all allergic to dogs, you
might consider pursuing
that angle.
But more generally
speaking, you should try
to work past your fears. Do
you have any friends who
have dogs you feel more
comfortable around than
most? If so, spend time
with them. Exposure therapy can work wonders.
Service animals have
been in use for decades
and are not going anywhere any time soon.

Bruce Willis, John Mayer sing

the blues at benefit concert
CHARLES J. GANS

Associated Press

NEW YORK Bruce

Willis and John Mayer sang
the blues at the Jazz Foundation of Americas annual benefit concert which
honored two legendary pianists, Dr. John and McCoy
Tyner.
Willis took a break from
filming a remake of the
Charles Bronson vigilante
movie Death Wish to
appear at Thursday nights
concert at New Yorks
Apollo Theater.
The actor played harmonica as he backed up
91-year-old pianist and
singer Henry Gray, a Louisiana native who became a
major figure on the Chicago
blues scene with Howlin
Wolfs band. Willis then
belted out the blues himself
on Shell Be So Fine with
a band that included Blues
Brothers saxophonist Lou
Marini.
Ringo Starr appeared
by videotape to introduce

Dr. John who performed

with the ex-Beatles first
All-Starr band, praising
him for a lifetime of piano
brilliance.
Dr. John, dressed in a
purple suit and carrying
two wooden canes adorned
with pendants and charms,
played two of his New Orleans funk standards, Such
A Night and Right Place
Wrong Time.
Co-host Danny Glover
presented Dr. John with
the newly established
Hank Jones Award, named
after the jazz piano great,
in recognition of his work
to advance New Orleans
musical legacy.
Dr. John thanked the JFA
for helping many Louisiana
musicians that he knows
personally, including victims of the August flooding
in Baton Rouge.
Thursdays
concert
raised about $1.5 million
for the JFA, including
emergency funds to provide food and clothing,

Dont miss the Casper Antique & Collectors Club

cover missed mortgage

payments, replace damaged instruments and fix
damaged homes of Baton
Rouge musicians.
Its an honor to receive
the first Hank Jones Award,
Dr. John said. Hank was
truly my partner. He was a
great musician and a musical inspiration to me.
Co-host Joe Morton
(Scandal)
expressed
appreciation for Tyners
contributions to many
jazz styles including bebop, hard-bop, modal and
mainstream in presenting the pianist with the
JFAs Lifetime Achievement
Award.
Tyner said he relished
the opportunity hes had
to travel around the world
playing this music with so
many great musicians, including saxophonist John
Coltrane. The pianist was
a member of Coltranes

1960s quartet.
Mayer, who is working on a new album, displayed his blues chops as
he closed out the evening
by reuniting with his trio
of bassist Pino Palladino
and drummer Steve Jordan. He kicked off a short
set with B.B. Kings Every
Day I Have the Blues before being joined by blues
singer-guitarist
Robert
Cray who performed his
raunchy tune Chicken In
The Kitchen.
The concert closed with
most of the evenings performers gathering on the
stage to jam on a rollicking
version of Let the Good
Times Roll.
The JFA provides medical and housing assistance,
employment opportunities to perform in schools
and crisis intervention to
thousands of jazz and blues
musicians each year.

Users mourn as Twitter kills beloved Vine video app

BARBARA ORTUTAY

Associated Press

NEW YORK You can watch

any video for six seconds, played
on an infinite loop. The funniest
ones only get more ridiculous with
repetition.
That was the beauty of Vine, the
simple, pioneering mobile video
app that Twitter has decided to
kill off. Its loyal users are mourning
its weirdness, humor and creativity-boosting constraints.
There are alternatives, sure, but
nothing as simple as Vine, which
did just one thing, and one thing
well. Instagram has photos and
videos of all sorts. Snapchat keeps
expanding features, and it isnt really meant for mindless scrolling
of humorous content. Facebook,
well, we all know Facebook.
Vines demise is a story of what
happens when a cool, edgy, but
money-losing service fails to take
off with the masses amid competition from heavyweight rivals. On
the other hand, had Vine gained
mass popularity, it might have lost
its edge, the essence of what made
Vine Vine, and instead got gobbled
up by big brands and sanitized into
the mainstream a bit like whats
happened to Twitter or Instagram.
Vine is a very unique app
in that it requires the smallest
amount of attention. Watching

AP

Hayatto Noguchi, Japanese Vine artist, shows his work on a smartphone

during an interview June 30 in Tokyo. Twitter has decided to shut down
the Vine video app, which has been eclipsed by the likes of Instagram and
Snapchat even as it remains beloved by a loyal fan base.
YouTube videos, reading Facebook
posts or even looking at tweets
takes more concentration than
watching a six-second clip, said
Carling Crawford, 19.
Crawford, a student at the University of Texas at Austin, fondly
recalled classic Vines, such as the
one titled A Potato Flew Around
My Room Before You Came,
which, as its name suggests, shows
a potato tied to a ceiling fan and
flying around a room. In the time

you read this sentence, it already

played twice. It has been played
more than 23 million times and
revined, or shared, nearly 9,000
times.
Several college students mentioned looking at Vine at the end
of the day, before going to bed, as
a way to decompress, especially if
the day was tough.
It was something funny to end
my day on, kind of like a detox,
said Olivia Burger, a sophomore at

Gannon University in Erie, Pennsylvania.

Twitter bought Vine a few
months before the service
launched in 2013. The service enjoyed a brief surge in popularity
before it got overtaken by Snapchat and Instagram, which introduced 15-second videos later
that year. Vine stars (yes, that is a
thing), moved on.
Jessica Vasquez, a makeup artist
and self-described professional
potato who goes by Jessi Smiles
on Vine, hasnt posted to that account since March. On Instagram,
though, she was active five days
ago and on Twitter, as recently as
Thursday, when she lamented the
demise of the beloved app.
What a crazy journey this has
been, she wrote on Twitter. Forever grateful for that silly little
app.
Vine also attracted some unlikely fans, such as the Kansas-based Westboro Baptist
Church, perhaps best known for
protesting the funerals of fallen
soldiers with inflammatory anti-gay signs. The organization has
some 13,000 followers on Vine,
and its six-second posts display
hateful messages in often-humorous contexts.
(With) heavy boots and a sad
heart, we do not look forward to

the end of Vine. Alas, it was so

young with so much promise. We
protest Vines funeral! the church
said in an emailed statement Friday.
More importantly perhaps, Vine
was popular with black and Hispanic teens and 20-somethings,
often more so than with their
white counterparts. According to
the Pew Research Center, 31 percent of black teens used Vine as of
2015, compared with just 22 percent of white, non-Hispanic teens.
In a 2015 op-ed piece in the
Guardian, commentator Hannah
Giorgi wrote that Black users utilize Vine in hilarious, multi-faceted, complex and game-changing
ways.
At a time when barriers to
entry in Hollywood and formal
creative industries continue to be
almost insurmountable for black
media-makers, the ability to
simply record a video with ones
phone and share it widely presents
a more widely accessible opportunity for creative ingenuity, she
added.
Vine was also used to document
protests against police shootings
and brutality in Ferguson, Missouri, and elsewhere, though the
rising popularity of Facebook Live
has started to overshadow this,
too.

APPLES
Research shows apple eaters have a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes
and are less likely to be obese. We make it easier to keep the doctor
away with these sweet and satisfying recipes.

HOW BOUT
THEM APPLES

CREATIVE
CRUST
IDEAS
LATTICE CRUST

Create a lattice top like the

one in our sidebar (far left)
by cutting dough circles into
-inch-thick strips. Lay half of
the strips on top of the filling
about inch apart. Fold back
alternating strips halfway.
Place a strip in the center
across the strips already in
place. Unfold the folded strips.
Place another strip across the
first set of strips parallel to the
strip in the center. Repeat
until covered.

CRIMPED CRUST
To crimp edges, such as the
middle pie (left), place an
index finger underneath the
outside edge of the dough
circle and gently fold and press
the dough upward to create
half-moon shapes. Cut slits in
top of dough before baking.

This perfectly portioned pie boasts big

flavor. A few tricks for the preparation:

SHAPE PLAY

You can use just about any

cookie cutter to create fun
piecrust shapes, as long as its
about 3 inches in diameter.
We love the shape a scalloped
cookie cutter creates for the
pie at the middle right (left).
Cut slits in top of dough
before baking.

THE SCOOP

Use a melon baller

or spoon to scoop the
flesh of each apple half,
leaving an -inch-thick
shell. Remove and
discard seeds and core.

THE CUT

Using a 3-inch
cookie cutter, cut four
circles from the dough.
Discard trimmings or
save for another use.

THE TOP

Heres where you

add your own twist.
You can weave a lattice
crust or place the
whole circle on top,
crimping edges and
cutting vents. Play with
the shape and design;
see Creative Crust
Ideas, top right. Have
fun with it!

All-American Apple Pies

Serves4
Hands On45 minutes
Total Time1 hour 5 minutes

2 medium red apples or 4 very small red

apples
cup apple cider
1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. sugar*
tsp. apple pie spice
1 rolled refrigerated unbaked piecrust
( of a 15-oz. pkg.)
1 egg, lightly beaten
tsp. coarse sugar* (optional)
Sugar-free caramel syrup (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Cut

two medium cooking apples in half
crosswise (or cut top third off four very
small apples). For fi lling, follow Step 1
(left) to scoop out apple flesh, reserving
shells. Chop flesh into small pieces. In a
saucepan combine chopped apple, cider,
3 Tbsp. water, flour, sugar, and apple
pie spice. Cook and stir over medium

until apples are softened and liquid is

thickened and bubbly, 3 to 5 minutes.
Return fi lling to apple shells.
2. Roll dough into a large circle about 10
inches in diameter. Follow Step 2 (left) to
cut dough circles. Follow Step 3 (left) to
top apples. Combine egg with 1 Tbsp.
water; brush over dough. If desired,
sprinkle with coarse sugar. Line a
1510-inch baking pan with foil; coat with
nonstick cooking spray. Place apples on
prepared baking sheet. If using very small
apples, place apple tops on prepared
baking sheet.
3. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until apples
are soft, filling is bubbly, and crust is
golden. If desired, drizzle with caramel
syrup. Serve immediately.

You will probably have

some dough scraps with
this recipe. Theyre great for
experimenting! Use a very small
cookie cutter to create shapes.
Adhere shapes to piecrust with
a dab of water. Cut slits in top
of dough before baking.

LARAMIE In Wyoming footballs biggest game in recent history, the biggest play was made by
the smallest player on the Cowboys defense line.
With less than 2 minutes to
play, nose tackle Chase Appleby
knocked the ball from Boise State
quarterback Brett Rypiens hands
and out of the end zone for a safety
to give Wyoming a 30-28 win over
No. 13 Boise State on Saturday at
War Memorial Stadium.
Applebys safety gave Wyoming
the lead for the first time with 1
minute, 25 seconds to play. Wide
receiver Tanner Gentry recovered
the ensuing onside kick, and Wyoming ran out the clock to usher
the Cowboy faithful onto the field
after Wyomings first win against a
ranked opponent since 2002.
Wyoming is now the sole leader
in the Mountain Division at 4-0 in
Mountain West play.
Brian Hill rushed for 146 yards,

tight end Jacob Hollister had 144

yards receiving and Wyomings
defense held a potent Boise State
offense to just one second-half
touchdown.
A wild second quarter saw Wyoming fall behind and claw its way
back. The Cowboys began the
quarter knocking on Boise States
door, but a fourth-and-goal run
from Brian Hill failed to gain the
needed yard. The Broncos then
drove 99 yards to score on a 2-yard
rush from Jeremy McNichols.
But Wyoming marched 75 yards
on the next drive for its first score
of the game, a 19-yard pass from
Josh Allen to Hollister. The Broncos pushed their lead to 21-7 on a
16-yard Alex Mattison touchdown
run, and Wyoming had to settle for
a 40-yard Cooper Rothe field goal
on the next drive.
Boise State began its 2-minute drill with a pass to Wyoming
cornerback Rico Gafford, who
returned it 32 yards. Two plays
later, Allen found Hollister again

for a score, this time from 28 yards
out, and the Cowboys entered the
half down just four.
The shootout suddenly turned
into a defensive struggle in the
third quarter. After scoring 31
combined points in the second
quarter, Wyoming and Boise State
combined for six punts and no
points in the third quarter.
Boise State finally ended the
drought on its first possession of
the second half, driving 78 yards
and scoring on a reverse pass

from receiver Thomas Sperbeck

to quarterback Brett Rypien.
Wyoming responded with a
touchdown drive of its own, going
75 yards in 10 plays and scoring on
a 27-yard heave from a scrambling
Allen to Tanner Gentry. Wyoming
converted the 2-point try with a
rollout pass to Jake Maulhardt to
tie the game.

CHICAGO With the Chicago Cubs in desperate need

of a win, manager Joe Maddon
put Jason Heyward in right
field for Game 4 of the World
Series on Saturday night.
Its the first start for the
slumping Heyward since he
went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts in Game 5 of the NL
Championship Series at Los
Angeles. The 27-year-old
Heyward, who signed a $184
million, eight-year contract
with Chicago last winter,
did not play in the World Series opener at Cleveland and
entered each of the last two
games as a pinch runner before staying in to play right.
The Cubs trailed 2-1 in the
best-of-seven series heading
into Saturday nights game at
Wrigley Field.
The Indians also made a
couple of intriguing changes
with ace Corey Kluber on the
mound, putting Rajai Davis in
left and moving Carlos Santana to first base. That meant
Mike Napoli was out of the
starting lineup for the first
time in the postseason after
playing a key role in Clevelands run to the AL pennant.
With Kluber pitching, Id
like us to have a good defense
out there, manager Terry
Francona said. I labored
back and forth on our first
baseman. I hated like crazy
not playing Napoli. I physically hate it. But Naps going
to play tomorrow against the
lefty, and we may put Santana
back in the outfield tomorrow
again. Well see.
Heyward is 2 for 31 with
nine strikeouts in 12 playoff
games this year, continuing
his struggles from the regular season. He hit .230 with a
career-low seven homers in
142 games.
For right now pretty much
just go play without overthinking it right now, Maddon said. Just go play and
just contribute to us winning
somehow..
Maddon also moved second
baseman Javier Baez down one
spot in the order to eighth.

Broncos for 6th win;

BRANDON FOSTER

Brandon.Foster@Trib.com

LARAMIE In many ways,

the prelude to Wyomings game
Saturday against No. 13 Boise
State was all about what the
Cowboys hadnt done.
They hadnt beaten a ranked
team since 2002. They had never
beaten Boise State. They hadnt
won the six games needed for
bowl eligibility since 2011.
And at many points in the
game, that looked to be the case
as well. Wyoming didnt appear
to have an answer for the Boise
State offense, twice trailing the
Broncos by two touchdowns in
the first half. The Cowboys failed
to score on a fourth-and-goal
run, and the Broncos proceeded
to score on a 99-yard touchdown
drive.

But Saturday night, Wyoming

did it.
The Cowboys finally broke
through with 1 minute, 25 seconds left in the game when a
Chase Appleby-forced safety
gave Wyoming the two points it
needed for a 30-28 win at War
Memorial Stadium.
I think theres wins that you
look back on that help define a
program, head coach Craig Bohl
said. This is one of them.
Only once has Wyoming
beaten a team ranked higher than
No. 13 Boise State, previously the
front-runner to represent the
Group of Five conferences this
postseason. In 1972, Wyoming
beat No. 11 Arizona State.
Ive said this was a special
team since spring ball, quarterback Josh Allen said.
The Cowboys are now 6-2 on
the season and 4-0 in conference
play, putting them alone atop the
Mountain Division. After Allens
final kneel-down, the crowd of
24,023 stormed Jonah Field to

Allen erased that with an athletic

CHICAGO There could be

a championship celebration
at Wrigley Field on Sunday,
just not the kind the Chicago
Cubs and generations of their
long-suffering fans dreamed of
seeing.
Tops in the majors with 103
wins, the Cubs simply cant
afford to lose another game.
Otherwise, a championship
drought dating to 1908 will
continue.
The Cubs once again got shut
down by Corey Kluber on Saturday night and didnt get the
dominant start they needed
from John Lackey.
Throw in two errors by third
baseman Kris Bryant and it
added up to a 7-2 loss to the
Cleveland Indians in Game 4
of the World Series.
They trail 3-1and if they dont
get more from their lineup or a
big effort by ace Jon Lester on
Sunday, it will once again be
wait til next year for the Cubs.
Thats not the way the Cubs
or the fans who packed Wrigley
Field and the neighboring bars
envisioned it.
The surrounding streets were
a sea of blue hours before the
ballpark opened just as they
were prior to Game 3. But the
excitement and enthusiasm
surrounding the Cubs first trip
to the World Series since 1945
has given way to disappointment after two tough losses.
By the time Javier Baez
grounded to pitcher Dan Otero
to end the game, there was
almost an eerie quiet inside
Wrigley after the 102-year-old
ballpark had been rocking.

Tops in the majors

with 103 wins,

Mustangs
From D1

The Mustangs had particular success on that drive

with halfback delays, showing the defense a passing
scheme before Harshman
inevitably handed the ball
to Brenton.
Brenton was able to run
for 220 yards and three
touchdowns behind a significant push from his offensive line.
Our line did wonderful,
Brenton said. They had all
the momentum, they were
totally psyched and gave me
great holes to work with.
The offensive line was
one area that the Mustangs
knew they had to improve
on after the Oil Bowl loss to
their rivals. Despite Brenton
running for over 200 yards
in that game, Kelly Walsh
shut down the rest of the
Natrona offense, allowing
just 50 yards outside of the
juniors ground game.
Our whole preparation
on scout team was trying to
simulate Kelly Walsh has
some tremendous linemen,
coach Harshman said. We
were trying to simulate
their big, powerful linemen
against our guys and so it
was really a total team effort.
While Natrona felt the
highs of winning another
playoff game and going to
the semifinals for the seventh straight year, Kelly
Walsh was left searching
for answers.
The Trojans turned their
season around with the win
in the Oil Bowl and finally
hosted a playoff game for
the first time since 2007.
Quarterback Caige McComb scrambled to make
big plays and Sesar Chavez
nearly ran for 100 yards
(96), but three turnovers
led to 14 points for Natrona
and the Kelly Walsh defense
couldnt replicate that success except on the fumble return, the Trojans lone
turnover.
Kelly Walsh tried to cut
into the lead just before
halftime but McComb fumbled while being sacked on
fourth down with under a
minute left and Natrona

Our line did

wonderful.
They had all the
momentum,
they were totally
psyched and gave
me great holes to

Natrona running back
Brett Brenton
took two knees going into
the break.
The last two weeks we
havent finished the first
half well, Harshman said.
Thats one of the things
we continually talked about.
We told them in timeout
Weve got to finish this
half and they really did.
Natronas breakout running back felt the emotion
of beating a cross-town
rival and moving on to the
next round as he accepted
hugs and handshakes from
fans after the game.
We lost to K-Dub, and
we beat them now and that
feels awesome, Brenton
said. Now, moving onto
Gillette, we can beat them
because theyve only got
one loss and its to us.
The Mustangs defeated
Gillette 27-20 on Sept.
16 and will have to do the
same on Friday to earn a
berth in the state championship. A kickoff time for
Fridays game will likely be
announced on Monday.
Experience of postseason
football is an invaluable asset and Natrona certainly
has that with juniors and
seniors having been to a
state championship. Theres
also an emotional aspect to
the Mustangs that drives
them to play another day.
This time of year you
dont want to check your
stuff in, Harshman said.
Whether you win the last
game or you lose your last
game its always sad. You
hate to see it end. We know
its going to end but, hey, its
not going to end tonight.
And our guys just feel that
and the emotion of that.

Mustangs
From D1

The Mustangs had particular success on that drive

with halfback delays, showing the defense a passing
scheme before Harshman
inevitably handed the ball
to Brenton.
Brenton was able to run
for 220 yards and three
touchdowns behind a significant push from his offensive line.
Our line did wonderful,
Brenton said. They had all
the momentum, they were
totally psyched and gave me
great holes to work with.
The offensive line was
one area that the Mustangs
knew they had to improve
on after the Oil Bowl loss to
their rivals. Despite Brenton
running for over 200 yards
in that game, Kelly Walsh
shut down the rest of the
Natrona offense, allowing
just 50 yards outside of the
juniors ground game.
Our whole preparation
on scout team was trying to
simulate Kelly Walsh has
some tremendous linemen,
coach Harshman said. We
were trying to simulate
their big, powerful linemen
against our guys and so it
was really a total team effort.
While Natrona felt the
highs of winning another
playoff game and going to
the semifinals for the seventh straight year, Kelly
Walsh was left searching
for answers.
The Trojans turned their
season around with the win
in the Oil Bowl and finally
hosted a playoff game for
the first time since 2007.
Quarterback Caige McComb scrambled to make
big plays and Sesar Chavez
nearly ran for 100 yards
(96), but three turnovers
led to 14 points for Natrona
and the Kelly Walsh defense
couldnt replicate that success except on the fumble return, the Trojans lone
turnover.
Kelly Walsh tried to cut
into the lead just before
halftime but McComb fumbled while being sacked on
fourth down with under a
minute left and Natrona

Our line did

wonderful.
They had all the
momentum,
they were totally
psyched and gave
me great holes to
work with.
Natrona running back
Brett Brenton
took two knees going into
the break.
The last two weeks we
havent finished the first
half well, Harshman said.
Thats one of the things
we continually talked about.
We told them in timeout
Weve got to finish this
half and they really did.
Natronas breakout running back felt the emotion
of beating a cross-town
rival and moving on to the
next round as he accepted
hugs and handshakes from
fans after the game.
We lost to K-Dub, and
we beat them now and that
feels awesome, Brenton
said. Now, moving onto
Gillette, we can beat them
because theyve only got
one loss and its to us.
The Mustangs defeated
Gillette 27-20 on Sept.
16 and will have to do the
same on Friday to earn a
berth in the state championship. A kickoff time for
Fridays game will likely be
announced on Monday.
Experience of postseason
football is an invaluable asset and Natrona certainly
has that with juniors and
seniors having been to a
state championship. Theres
also an emotional aspect to
the Mustangs that drives
them to play another day.
This time of year you
dont want to check your
stuff in, Harshman said.
Whether you win the last
game or you lose your last
game its always sad. You
hate to see it end. We know
its going to end but, hey, its
not going to end tonight.
And our guys just feel that
and the emotion of that.

F
won the 200 freestyle
and teammate Maria Kulow took home gold in the

It was the Tigers first

From D1

The Cowboys still needed

the 2-point conversion,
and they got it when Allen
found Maulhardt, who said
he wasnt even supposed to
be an option to catch the tying points.
Wyoming and Boise
State traded punts tied at
28 apiece, and Boise State
began a drive at its own 10yard line with 1:38 to play.
On second down, Appleby
came around on a twist and
found Broncos quarterback
Brett Rypien.
I dont know if he knew
what he was doing but he
kind of froze there for a
second, Appleby said. The
ball was kind of bobbling
around, so I tried to put a
good hit on him.
The hit sent the ball out of

Rypiens hands and out the

back of the end zone.
Gentry recovered the ensuing onside kick, and Wyoming ran the clock out with
a first-down run from Brian
Hill.
Hill rushed for 146 yards,
and tight end Jacob Hollister
had 144 yards on six catches,
both career highs.
We dont think weve
utilized him as well as what
we could have, Bohl said of
the senior tight end. But
tonight we did.
A wild second quarter
saw Wyoming fall behind
and claw its way back. The
Cowboys began the period
knocking on Boise States
door, but a fourth-and-goal
run from Hill failed to gain
the needed yard. The Broncos then drove the length of
the field to score on a 2-yard
rush from Jeremy McNichols.

But Wyoming marched 75

yards on the next drive for
its first score of the game,
a 19-yard pass from Allen
to Hollister. The Broncos
pushed their lead to 21-7
on a 16-yard Alex Mattison
touchdown run, and Wyoming had to settle for a 40yard Cooper Rothe field goal
on the next drive.
Boise State began its
2-minute drill before halftime with a Rypien pass to
Wyoming cornerback Rico
Gafford, who returned it 32
yards. Two plays later, Allen
found Hollister again for a
score, this time from 28 yards
out, and the Cowboys entered the half down just four.
The shootout suddenly
turned into a defensive
struggle in the third quarter. After scoring 31 combined points in the second
quarter, Wyoming and Boise
State combined for six punts

and no points in the third

quarter.
It flipped, Bohl said.
In the first half it was like
no one wanted to play defense. In the second half,
both teams were coming up
with stops.
Boise State finally ended
the drought on its first possession of the second half,
driving 78 yards and scoring on a reverse pass from
receiver Thomas Sperbeck
to Rypien.
Allens 27-yard heave to
Gentry came on the next
drive.
You see it all the time
growing up, Allen said. Big
school goes down to a little
school. But in my opinion
this wasnt a David and Goliath scenario.

Mead recalled how Bohl,

in his early days at Wyoming, spoke to him about
the contributions that were
necessary for the athletic
department to go to the
next level.
He and Tom Burman
came into my office, and
they wanted to talk about
their vision, Mead said.
Coach Bohl talked passionately about what we
needed. And for those of
you who have spent any
time with Coach Bohl, I
dont know that he talks
any other way. He is so
passionate about Wyoming

and UW Football.
Bohl choked up when
referring to Burmans decision to hire him from
North Dakota State in the
Football Championship
Subdivision.
Governor Mead looked
deep in my eyes and said,
Hey, coach, when the
Cowboys win, the people in our state feel good.
What do we need, Coach?
And Tom Burman (pushed)
this agenda through when a
lot of people said you cant
do certain things.
Construction will begin as soon as Wyomings

football season ends, Burman said, and construction of the new building
will take 12 months. Renovations to the original
Rochelle Athletic Center
will take around four to
six months.
Burman also anticipates
Wyoming will continue
to raise about $1 million
for additions to the training table and technology
within the facility.

Denver promotes Juwan Thompson

with CJ Anderson out indefinitely
ARNIE STAPLETON

Associated Press

E NGLEWOOD, Colo.
The Denver Broncos
promoted running back
Juwan Thompson from
their practice squad on
Saturday to take the roster spot of C.J. Anderson,
who was placed on injured
reserve.
Anderson underwent
surgery Thursday to repair a torn meniscus in his
right knee and is hoping to
return for the playoffs.
Rookie Devontae Booker

will make his first start

Sunday when the Broncos
(5-2) host the San Diego
Chargers (3-4), who beat
them 21-13 less than three
weeks ago. Kapri Bibbs
will back him up.
The Broncos ran for 190
yards against the Texans
on Monday night and were
feeling good about their
suddenly surging ground
game until Tuesday afternoon when Anderson
showed up with a sore
right knee.
Booker and Bibbs insist

they can maintain their

1-2 punch in the backfield
without Anderson, who
ran for a season-best 107
yards in Denvers 27-9 win
over Houston.
In Thompson, the Broncos have added an experienced and versatile back.
Thompson made the
roster each of the last two
seasons and has played in
30 career games, mainly on
special teams. He was the
odd man out when rookie
fullback Andy Janovich
made the team this sum-

Michigan stays undefeated with win

(8-0, 5-0 Pac-12) pinned
the Utes on their own 1 on

VIRGINIA 25
At Charlottesville, Va.,
Lamar Jackson floated a
29-yard touchdown pass
to Jaylen Smith with 13
seconds left and Louisville
survived a frenetic finish.
Jacksons fourth touchdown pass kept the Cardinals (7-1, 5-1 Atlantic
Coast Conference) in the
College Football Playoff
picture, and couldnt have
hurt the Heisman Trophy
frontrunners candidacy.
Virginia (2-6, 1-3) scored
with 1:57 remaining and
used a 2-point conversion
to take a 25-24 lead.
Jackson did not have one
of his best days, getting
sacked five times and turning the ball over twice, but
on the final drive, he ran
for 18 yards, hit Cole Hikutini in traffic for 5 yards
on fourth-and-3 and ran
twice more for 16 yards
before hitting Smith in the

Joey Logano (22) celebrates after winning a NASCAR Sprint

Cup Series auto race at Talladega Superspeedway, Sunday,
Oct. 23, in Talladega, Ala.

Logano back at
Martinsville aware of
mistakes of last year
JENNA FRYER

Associated Press

MARTINSVILLE, Va.
Joey Logano was initially
unrepentant, insistent he
had done nothing wrong in
a feud with Matt Kenseth
that ultimately cost Logano
a chance to win his first Cup
championship.
A year later, Logano has a
new perspective about the
soap opera that fueled the
Chase for the Sprint Cup
championship. He returns
to Martinsville Speedway
on Sunday with a maturity
about him that could put
Logano in position to win
that elusive title.
I learned some valuable
lessons last year, Logano
said. I learned a whole new
level I didnt even know I
had. Now I know how to
reach that level mentally
inside a racecar to make
things happen and be a
great leader for my team.
Logano was en route to
NASCARs championship
race last year as perhaps
the driver to beat for the
title. Hed swept the threerace segment of the second
round of the Chase, and was
dominating at Martinsville,
headed toward a win that
would have advanced him
to the season finale.
Then Kenseth intentionally wrecked Logano as payback for a spat that started
during the second round of
the playoffs. Logano had
already won at Charlotte
to secure his spot in the
third round, and Kenseth
was closing in on a mustwin victory at Kansas that
would have extended his
playoffs.
But Logano, who only had
a trophy on the line that day
at Kansas, raced Kenseth
hard in the closing laps and
spun his rival. Kenseth was
livid at how hard Logano
had raced him. Logano
didnt care.
The hard feelings simmered for two more weeks,
then with Kenseth out of
the playoffs, he exacted his
revenge.
Looking back, Logano
knows now his shoulder-shrug attitude toward
Kenseth flamed the fire.
Had he picked up the phone,
called Kenseth or sent him a

text, it might have changed

the entire season. Kenseth
might have let it go, Logano
would have won at Martinsville, maybe would already
have a Cup championship.
Thats all in the past as
the third round of the playoffs begins Sunday at Martinsville, and Logano and
Kenseth are both still in
play. Logano scored a mustwin victory last week at Talladega to advance, while
Kenseth used consistency
and a play-it-safe strategy
at Talladega to ensure Joe
Gibbs Racing got all four of
its Toyotas into the round of
eight.
Logano is the only Ford
driver still in the playoffs.
Hes got to face the entire
JGR organization the
team he raced for before
they let him go and he was
scooped up by Roger Penske
as well as six-time champion Jimmie Johnson, who
leads 2014 winner Kevin
Harvick and a trio of Chevrolets.
Penske believes Sunday is
a critical race, for his driver
and his team, in this Chase.
Its a level playing field.
Were satisfied where we
are, he said. I think we
need to get through what
happened last year at Martinsville and get some good
success there so we can
move on hopefully to the
next round.
Logano, who starts second Sunday, very much
wants this do-over. He had
a bulls-eye on his back last
year, in part because of that
three-race sweep in the
playoffs, in part because of
his supreme confidence. But
he had to deliver last week to
get to this round, and hes
not yet stamped himself as
a favorite in this Chase.
I think were a little bit
more under the radar than
we were last year, he said.
Weve just got to go out
there and fight, do what
we know how to do. Dont
need to change anything.
Weve just got to keep the
intensity up, keep realizing
we like the pressure; I think
were better under pressure.
Thats kind of our motto
this year. I look forward to
those moments. I looked
forward to this weekend.

Maddons mom makes it to World Series

CHICAGO After a difficult day of travel to the
World Series, Albina Maddon was met by police at
Chicago OHare International Airport.
First of all, they had to
tell her shes not being arrested, her son, Chicago
Cubs manager Joe Maddon,
said Saturday. Beanie, being from Hazleton, Polish
Catholic, she would have
imagined the worst first.
They always do.
The 83-year-old Albina
planned to travel from
her home south of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania,
to attend Game 3 on Friday
night. A fire aboard American Airlines Flight 383 from
Chicago to Miami caused
extensive delays.
Maddons mom had
driven two hours to Philadelphia International Airport, and her delayed flight
didnt leave until about 90

minutes
before game
time. Maddon spoke
with Cubs
t rave l i n g
secretary
Vijay TekMaddon
chandani,
and they contacted the
police.
My niece and nephew,
Michael and Christine,
were also part of the party,
the manager said. So I

guess they threw them in

the back there and just
rushed them on in, and
got her up to the will-call
window, escorted her in.
And they got there by the
second inning.
Maddon said his mom
is retired from Hazletons
Third Base Luncheonette,
a restaurant owned by the
Maddon family.
She goes up there for
her morning coffee. Its
a great conversation for

maybe at least the next two

years, Joe Maddon said.
Shes there till midnight
after the game. I see her in
the parking lot for the first
time. Gets back at 1 oclock,
whatever, after going all
day, and then shes going to
be here tonight. God bless
her. Those tough Polish ladies, man. I grew up with
them. Theyre awesome.
They can really clean. They
can cook, and shes the best
mom ever.

Matsuyama keeps 3-shot lead

Remains leader going
into final round of
HSBC Champions
DOUG FERGUSON

Associated Press

SHANGHAI Hideki Matsuyama of Japan kept a clean

card Saturday and made just
enough birdies for a 4-under
68 to maintain his three-shot
lead in the HSBC Champions.
Matsuyama had made 19
birdies over the opening two
rounds. He was even more satisfied with the third round because he played bogey-free for
the first time all week at Sheshan International and didnt
give anyone much of a chance
to close the gap.
Matsuyama made three of his
birdies on the par 5s, including
the final hole when he belted a
3-wood from 248 yards over
the corner of the lake and onto
the green, and he nearly holed
the 25-foot eagle attempt.
That was a big birdie, to
take the lead from two shots to
three, he said.
Matsuyama was at 17-under
199 as he goes for his first World
Golf Championship title.
Defending champion Russell
Knox made a pair of birdies on
the back nine and to keep in
range, though he never could
get closer than two shots of
Matsuyama. Knox also shot a
68 and will be in the final group
for the second straight year at
the HSBC Champions.
Joining them will be Daniel
Berger, who has used his short
game to stay in contention.

That was never more evident

than the 18th hole, when he
pushed his fairway metal into
the middle of the lake and still
managed to get up-and-down
from the fairway to save par.
Berger shot a 67 and was four
shots behind.
Francesco Molinari, who
won this WGC in 2010, had a
68 and joined Bill Haas (70) at
12-under 204.
Rory McIlroy tried to make
a run and pulled off what he
called one of the best shortgame shots of his career for
an unlikely birdie on the
par-5 eighth. After sailing his
3-wood well right of the fairway on a thin patch of muddy
grass, McIlroy faced a 50-yard
shot over a creek with the pin
on that side of the green. He
hit a hard, low shot into the
bank and it popped onto the
green about 15 feet away, and
he made the putt.
That got him within four of
the lead, but the four-time major champion began dropping
too many shots to keep the momentum. McIlroy needed two
late birdies to salvage a 37 on
the back nine, and his 70 left
him eight shots behind.
Rickie Fowler also tried to
get back in the game with a
birdie-eagle start. He birdied
two of the last three holes for a
68, but that was no better than
what Matsuyama managed and
Fowler remained seven shots
behind.
The shot of the day came
from Matt Kuchar, minus the
reward.
He made a hole-in-one
on the par-3 17th, with a car

UW SOCCER

Cowgirls to face Utah State

in conference tournament
T he University of Wyoming soccer team
travels to San Diego to play Utah State in
the first round of the Mountain West Tournament at 4p.m. on Tuesday. The winner
of the match will play top-seeded UNLV on
Thursday at 4p.m. in a semifinal game.
Utah State defeated Wyoming 3-0 in the
regular season, but the Cowgirls are 6-2-1
since that loss and are unbeaten in the last
four matches.
This is the fourth straight season that the
Cowgirls have advanced to the conference
tournament. Wyoming lost 1-0 to Colorado
College in the first round of the Mountain
West tournament last season.

Japans Hideki Matsuyama lines up his shot during the 2016

WGC-HSBC Champions tournament on Saturday at the Sheshan
International Golf Club in Shanghai, China.
perched behind the tee for
whoever made an ace. Kuchar
happened to read the fine print,
however. Because the tee had
been moved forward, there was
a notice that the car would not
be awarded Saturday because
insurance only covered a tee
shot of 200 yards.
That was probably one of
the saddest hole-in-ones Ive
ever had, Kuchar said after a
68 to finish eight shots behind.
Matsuyama will try to cap off
a strong stretch of golf dating
to his fifth-place finish in the
Tour Championship. He won
the Japan Open two weeks ago,
followed that with a runner-up
finish in the CIMB Classic
in Malaysia, and now takes a
three-shot lead into the final
round of the HSBC Champions.
Matsuyamas only birdie
on a hole other than a par 5
was at No. 9. He wasnt mak-

ing as many birdies, though

he thought this round Saturday was the right recipe as he
moves closer to the trophy.
The first two days, making
lots of birdies, its a lot of fun,
Matsuyama said. But today,
when youre in a position to
win, playing smart and making
no bogeys was very satisfying
for me today.
Knox was in a position of
chasing, and having seen Matsuyama all day, he had a good
idea of what it will take.
Im going to have to be foot
down, be aggressive and try
and catch him, Knox said.
Hes playing very well. He
drove the ball in play a lot.
Hes an extremely aggressive
iron player, and when hes on,
hes as good as anyone. Im
not going to give up my title
without a big fight tomorrow.
I look forward to every minute
and see what happens.

Kirk, List share PGA Tour

lead in Mississippi
At Jackson, Miss., Chris Kirk and Luke List
each shot 7-under 65 on Saturday to share
the third-round lead in the Sanderson Farms
Championship.
Kirk and List were at 14-under at the
Country Club of Jackson.
Cody Gribble (67), Canadas Graham DeLaet (68), and 2009 U.S. Open champion
Lucas Glover (68) were a stroke back.
Second-round leader Grayson Murray had
a 72 to drop two shots behind. He missed
several short putts and had a double bogey
on the shortest par-4 on the course.
Kirk, the highest-ranked player in the field
at 76th, had eight birdies and a bogey.
Kirks first PGA Tour title came in the
event in 2011, when it was known as the Viking Classic and was played at Annandale
Golf Club in nearby Madison.
List, chasing his first PGA Tour victory,
had seven birdies in a bogey-free round.

Reeling Jaguars fire offensive

coordinator Greg Olson
The Jacksonville Jaguars ended up making
a coaching change in the wake of an embarrassing loss at Tennessee. It wasnt the one
many expected.
The Jaguars (2-5) fired offensive coordinator Greg Olson on Saturday, parting ways
with him two days after a lackluster effort
against the Titans, and one day after coach
Gus Bradley insisted no staff changes would
be made.
The team said quarterbacks coach Nathaniel Hackett will take over play-calling
duties next week at Kansas City. Hackett,
who called plays for two seasons (2013-14)
in Buffalo, will be quarterback Blake Bortles
third coordinator in three years. Olson replaced Jedd Fisch after the 2014 season.

Oklahoma State honors crash

survivors, victims at parade
At Stillwater, Okla., the victims and survivors of the 2015 Oklahoma State homecoming parade crash were honored during the
2016 parade in Stillwater.
Saturdays parade include four riderless
horses, with empty boots backward in the
stirrups, for the four people who died Oct.
24, 2015, when a woman crashed her car into
spectators near the end of the parade.
Some of the survivors rode in a carriage
pulled by a team of six Clydesdales.
OSU President Burns Hargis told the
Tulsa World that the remembrance will help
strengthen those involved, saying healing
happens when everybody gets back together.
Adacia Chambers has pleaded not guilty to
four counts of second-degree murder and 42
counts of assault and battery in the crash.
