FROM STAFF REPORTS

SHERIDAN — A late season wildfirestarted Saturday in the BighornMountains just outside of Buffalo, but thesnow and cold temperatures forecasted forthe rest of the week are expected to dimin-ish the affects of the blaze.

In all, officials said the fire, called theWest Range Fire, scorched approximately1,170 acres, though some of that areaincluded back fires lit by firefighters tohelp contain the blaze. The fire was esti-

mated to be 95 percent contained thismorning.

Crews from around the region, includingvolunteer firefighters and crews from stateand federal agencies, helped battle theblaze Saturday and Sunday. At one pointyesterday, officials said more than 150 fire-fighters were battling the fire. Crewsincluded volunteer firefighters fromClearmont, Big Horn, Story and the GooseValley Fire Department.

Most of those crews were demobilizedthis morning, though the Wyoming

Department of Corrections crew known asthe Smoke Busters was expected to remainon scene today to help with mop up.Johnson County volunteer firefighters willalso continue to monitor the fire.

Johnson County EmergencyManagement Coordinator MarilynConnolly said this morning that there isstill some fire in the area and area resi-dents will continue to see smoke.

Escaping thewealth gapcan mean

fleeing homeDANVILLE, Ill. (AP) — This

Illinois city already was strug-gling when Tara Holycrossand her friends were kids rid-ing their bikes to CustardCup, swimming at the parkdistrict pool and hanging outin the Wendy’s parking lot.

Manufacturers that provid-ed thousands of well-paying,middle class jobs — GeneralMotors, General Electric,Hyster — were closing.Neighborhoods were crum-bling. By the time Holycrossgraduated from high school in2004, a city best known for itsmassive downtown grain ele-vator and as the hometown ofactors Dick and Jerry VanDyke was scrambling to createnew opportunities.

Ten years later, this city of32,500 still is struggling. ButHolycross and some of herclassmates are doing just fine— because they moved.

They’re doctors and athletictrainers, software specialistsand financial advisers.

Eastern Shoshone tribe opposes grizzly delistingCASPER (AP) — Eastern Shoshone tribal leaders have approved a

resolution opposing any decision by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Serviceto strip federal protections for grizzly bears by removing them fromthe threatened species list.

The resolution unanimously approved by the Shoshone BusinessCouncil and signed Oct. 28 by council Chairman Darwin St. Clair Jr.states the tribe won’t allow the state of Wyoming to “inflict its poli-cies” on Eastern Shoshone tribal lands.

Tribal leaders rejected trophy hunting of wolves on tribal lands,according to the resolution.

“And we hold that same position in relation to the grizzly bear,” theresolution states.

The Eastern Shoshone share central Wyoming’s Wind River IndianReservation with the Northern Arapaho tribe. To date, the NorthernArapaho haven’t endorsed the Eastern Shoshone resolution or adopt-ed a similar resolution, the Casper Star-Tribune reported.

Northern Arapaho officials said their tribe has no position on delist-ing grizzlies.

Grizzly numbers in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming have beenrebounding rapidly. In 2013, the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee,a group of wildlife officials from various government agencies, sug-gested that federal protection for grizzlies could be lifted.

Federal officials have said they have no timetable for removing griz-zlies from federal protection, however.

VETERANS: Facilities at college also gives veterans place to gatherFROM 1

This year, in honor of the 50th anniversary ofthe unofficial start of the Vietnam War, thekeynote speaker for the ceremony will beVietnam veteran Ron Wood from the WyomingVeterans Commission.

Though Veterans Day is a day to remember theservice of those individuals still alive, still serv-ing and those who served in times of peace, andMemorial Day is the day to recognize those wholost their lives in the military, the ceremony willinclude a reading of the names of all Wyomingveterans of the Vietnam War listed on thememorial wall in Washington, D.C., in honor ofthe anniversary.

The event will include a performance by theSC Brass Quintet and a flag raising at 11 a.m. inhonor of the signing of the World War IArmistice (signed on the 11th hour of the 11thday of the 11th month).

The ceremony was originally scheduled for10:45 a.m. in the Veterans Plaza at the college,but due to predicted cold temperatures wasmoved indoors to the Whitney Presentation Hallwith the time change.

“Less than 2 percent of all Americans serve inthe military so I think it’s important that wehave a day to remind the other 98 percent thereare people out there who volunteer to die for ourcountry so we can enjoy the lives we live,” SCVeterans Services Director Brett Burtis said.“And I think it is important to stop and honorthem in this way.”

While Burtis was instrumental in the creationof the ceremony, his service to his fellow veter-ans is not contained to one day of the year.

Veterans Services

Sheridan College was opened in 1948 in largepart to support veterans returning home from

World War II.Shortly after the war ended, a GI Bill of Rights

was passed to aid the many soldiers comingback who needed an education.

The Sheridan community rose to meet theneed and has been rising to meet the needs ofstudent veterans since.

This year, the new Thorne-Rider CampusCenter opened on campus featuring a multi-media room, gathering spaces for students and alarge cafeteria featuring gourmet diningoptions.

Tucked in the center is the new VeteransServices office, complete with a veterans onlygathering area, computer lab, private meetingrooms and more.

Burtis described the space as a unique loungethat provides a peer support network simply byhaving a place to watch television and eat lunchtogether.

“The new veterans center is amazing; it’sexactly what our students needed,” Burtis said.“Veterans are a unique breed and as a result

they need a unique support network, and walk-ing in knowing there will be anther veteran inthere you can talk to is a tremendous benefit.”

He added that the private spaces can be usedby visiting counselors so veterans needing tospeak with a professional don’t have to go offcampus to do so.

Burtis’ office is also housed in the new center,and he said his role is to be there for the veteranstudents in nearly any way they need.

He helps students navigate the admissionprocess, pick a proper major, transition to col-lege life and select classes while serving as anongoing advisor and advocate. Burtis is thechampion for their mutual cause as veterans.

“My role is the central point of contact for anystudent veteran, someone they can talk to andshare a common language and common bondfrom my former military service,” Burtis said.“I play an important role because I’m the desig-nated contact for veterans but from the top downincluding the board of trustees, the college, theadministrators, they are all dedicated to our vet-eran students and without them we wouldn’thave a veterans center.”

This top down support has been recognizednationally each of the three years Burtis hasnow been at the college.

Victory Media, who publishes several militarypublications, administers surveys to interestedschools seeking the top 20 percent of schoolsnationwide deserving of the title “MilitaryFriendly School.”

Every year of his career, Burtis has completedthe survey and every survey has earned theschool the title.

“Every year it gets tougher to win,” Burtissaid. “In previous years there was maybe 50questions and this year there was about 100, butyou just complete this great big survey, they ana-lyze all the results and pick the top schools. It’s agreat honor.”

GAP: Search for jobs rewarding educationFROM 1

They’re living all over the country — fromChicago to Charleston, South Carolina, toBoulder, Colorado — where they found solidjobs that reward the kind of education theyhave. Though still early in their careers,they’ve surpassed Danville’s median house-hold income of $35,000 and expect to domuch better. Holycross and four classmatesinterviewed said about half of their class offewer than 50 left town, and those they’re intouch with landed good positions.

“I knew there wasn’t an opportunity forme to have my career” in Danville, saidHolycross, 28, a third-generation native whonow works as an athletic trainer for a hospi-tal system in Beloit, Wisconsin, about 90miles northwest of Chicago.

Their experience is a counterpoint to thedesperation gripping so many rural andmanufacturing communities in the Midwestthat have been hard hit by global economicchanges. The flow of educated workers fromstruggling communities to areas withbrighter job opportunities might, to someextent, help shore up the U.S. middle class,which has been squeezed by a widening gapbetween the richest Americans and every-one else.

Since roughly 1980, income has grownmost for the top earners and dropped for thepoorest 20 percent. Incomes for the highest-earning 1 percent of Americans soared 31percent from 2009 through 2012, after adjust-ing for inflation, according to data compiledby Emmanuel Saez, an economist atUniversity of California, Berkeley. Foreveryone else, it barely budged, rising anaverage of 0.4 percent.

While Wall Street traders and softwareCEOs soared to enormous affluence, wavesof people fell out of the middle class as man-ufacturing’s share of the economy shrank.Following the downside arc of the wealthgap was inevitable for many who stayed instricken factory towns where jobs disap-peared. For others, though, escaping meantseparating their own fate from that of theirhometowns.

Between 2012 and 2013, more than 26.7 mil-lion people age 18 and over moved — 17.3million of them to a different county. Thosein their 20s and 30s with a college degreewere most likely to move for job reasons andto move the farthest. In that period, peoplepoured out of declining cities like Detroit,whose population dropped by almost 10,000,and into economic hotspots like SanAntonio, which grew by 25,378, according tocensus data.

The trend of more-educated people movingand less-educated staying began to emergeseveral years ago. A Census Bureau study

found that more than half of highly educat-ed workers who moved between 2005 and2010 left their counties. By contrast, 70 per-cent of people without high school diplomaswho moved did so within the same county.

Decades ago, many unskilled workers wereable to migrate to capitalize on better condi-tions elsewhere, as when field workersmoved from the South to the Midwest forfactory jobs after World War II.

But good blue-collar jobs are now harderto find anywhere — one factor that may helpexplain why mobility overall has beendeclining for several decades and why itdropped sharply during the recession.

“If we pushed someone who’s stayed inDetroit to suddenly hit the road and move toChicago, would that person suddenly do bet-ter? Or has that person stayed behind exact-ly because he or she can’t find a good-payingjob in Chicago?” said Danny Yagan, aUniversity of California economist whostudies mobility.

There’s no comprehensive data contrast-ing the financial fortunes of those who havestayed in place and those who have left. Butthe partial glimpses available are revealing.

A survey of nearly 3,000 2012 graduates of15 public universities in Michigan — a stateespecially afflicted by manufacturing’sdecline — found that 37 percent were livingin another state a year later. That was downfrom 49 percent in a similar 2007 survey. Butthose who did move were far more likely tohave a full-time job: 86 percent comparedwith 68 percent of those who stayed put.And they tended to earn significantly more.

Those who moved from Michigan toIllinois upgraded from a state medianincome below $47,000 to one over $55,000 in2012. Research indicates that people whomoved to places with stronger economiesoften do about as well as the workersalready there. Less clear is whether such amove translates into more overall wealth ora better lifestyle.

“There’s a lot more to learn,” Yagan said.Differences in living costs can make mov-

ing chancy. But they aren’t always a nega-tive factor. People who left California duringthe recession for bustling San Antonio, rid-ing an oil boom and technology expansion,often accepted pay decreases but were betteroff overall because of Texas’ lower costs,said Asa Sphar, managing partner of theCSI Executive Search firm. The medianvalue of a home in California is nearly$384,000; in Texas, it’s $128,000.

In Danville’s case, the low cost of livingwasn’t enough reason for many to stay.Holyfield said she and her husband, an elec-trician who grew up near Danville, foundbetter job prospects around the Chicagoexurbs and hope to buy a house soon.

BIG HORN — One minute and20 seconds. That’s how long theWheatland Bulldogs had the leadbefore the Big Horn Rams scoredwhat would be the winningtouchdown Saturday afternoonin their closest contest of theseason.

With that score, the Rams areheaded back to Laramie for achance to repeat as state champi-ons.

After trailing 20-0, Wheatlandscored three straight touch-downs to steal the lead awayfrom Big Horn with 2:48 left inthe third quarter.

It looked as if all the momen-tum had swung in the Bulldogs’favor, as the Rams were facing acrucial third-and-13 deep in theirown territory immediately fol-lowing Wheatland’s go-aheadscore.

Natrona ends Broncs’ season in state semifinalsBY MIKE PRUDEN

THE SHERIDAN PRESS

SHERIDAN — It was déjà vu forthe Sheridan Broncs Saturday asthey traveled to Natrona for theirsecond matchup of the year, thistime in the semifinals of the 4Aplayoffs.

In the regular season battlebetween the Broncs and theMustangs, a Sheridan intercep-tion on the opening drive gaveNatrona good field position ontheir way to an easy score and aneventual 24-0 victory.

In the rematch, an opening-drive turnover resulted in thesame thing, and the Broncs foundthemselves in a 7-0 hole early.

Sheridan hasn’t had much luckwith coin tosses as of late. It wasa loss in the three-team-tiebreak-er coin toss that forced the semi-final matchup with Natrona, and

it was a loss in the coin tossSaturday that made things eventougher for the Sheridan offense.

The loss in the opening cointoss meant going against a strongwind. The Broncs were forced topunt against the wind on their

second drive, resulting onceagain in good field position forNatrona and another eventualtouchdown.

Natrona added one more score

before halftime, and the hole wastoo much for Sheridan to climbout of, especially againstNatrona’s top-rated defense.

“They match our strengths real-ly well,” coach Don Julian said ofthe Natrona defense. “They neu-

tralized our speed game andmade it difficult to sustaindrives.”

After failing to score in the reg-ular season matchup with theMustangs, the Broncs couldn’tput any points on the board inSaturday’s matchup either, whichJulian attributes to the superiori-ty of the Natrona defense.

“Their defense is exceptional,”Julian said. “They held us eightquarters without scoring a point.There’s no mystery about it,they’re really solid on defense. Ithink they’ll end up running thetable.”

‘I think they’ll end up running the table.’

BRONCS: Eight quarters without a scoreFROM B1

Despite losing 27-0 andending their season in thesemifinals, Julian wasquick to point out that thefinal game shouldn’t be aportrayal as to how the sea-son went for Sheridan.

“No one should ever look

at the end result to deter-mine if you were successfulor not,” he said. “Our kidsbattled. They did a great jobthis year.”

He was also quick to showhis appreciation for the sup-port his team received allseason long.

“I really have to thank the

community for the ‘webelieve’ stuff all over town,”he said. “It was special tosee all of that, and I hopethe end result was some-thing that the communitycan be proud of.”

The Broncs finished withan 8-3 record for the thirdstraight season.

STATE: Will faceMountain View

FROM B1

It was a short pass to Colton Williamsalong the far sideline that turned into amonster gain for Big Horn. After thesophomore caught the pass, he loweredhis shoulder, shook off the defendergrabbing his facemask and tiptoed thesideline before stumbling down to justshy of the goal line.

The 78-yard gain, along with the face-mask penalty yards, led to an easy strollinto the end zone for senior runningback Kerry Powers on the ensuinghandoff. The Rams completed a two-point conversion to give them a 28-21lead, a score that would hold until thefinal horn sounded.

“They’re huge for us,” Big Horn coachMike McGuire said of making big plays.“They’re a big part of what we do.(Wheatland’s) defense is hard to go playafter play after play against, so you’vegot to try and get some big ones inthere, and we got enough of them todayto win.”

The Big Horn defense has been domi-nant all year, giving up just 9.9 points agame headed into Saturday’s matchup.But it wasn’t until after Powers’s go-ahead touchdown when the Ramsdefense stepped up and made the bigplays they had made all year.

Big Horn’s last two offensive drives —not including the kneel-downs in thefinal minute — resulted in a missedfield goal and a turnover on downs. Itwas the Big Horn defense, though, thatsandwiched those two drives with twoturnovers on downs and an intercep-tion, sealing the deal for the Rams.

“A lot of those drives were a lot ofmissed tackles, guys dropping to thewrong spot in their pass coverages,”McGuire said of the early defensivestruggles. “We knew if we just get someof that stuff cleaned up, we had achance to stop them, and our kids cameout and made some plays when they hadto.”

Wheatland ended up with 358 yards ofoffense, while Big Horn ran for 86 yardsand passed for 295 for a total of 381. Togo along with Williams’ 78-yards receiv-ing, senior Christian Mayer had fivecatches for 133 yards and a touchdownin his final game on his home turf.Powers led Big Horn with 78 yardsrushing and two touchdowns.

The win keeps Big Horn’s undefeatedseason going and sends the Rams on areturn trip to Laramie for a rematch oflast year’s 2A state-title game where BigHorn defeated Mountain View 47-22 fortheir fourth state championship.

Saturday’s game will be played at 10a.m. at War Memorial Stadium at theUniversity of Wyoming.

LADY GENERALS: Fell in close game to Northern OklahomaFROM B1

The Northern Oklahoma coaching staff threw a bunch of dif-ferent defenses at the Lady Generals, both in the half court andfull court, making it hard for Sheridan to get into their half-court offensive sets. Never able to get into a rhythm, the LadyGenerals shot on 31 percent from the field and only 17 percentfrom behind the arc.

To go along with Sheridan’s offensive struggles, NorthernOklahoma dropped in 14 3-pointers of their own. But Davis said

his team’s consistent effort and energy is what keeps them inevery game they play, even if their shots aren’t falling.

“I’ve got to give credit to our girls,” he said. “Even whileNorthern Oklahoma was whacking shots, we stayed with them.If they miss one of those threes, and we hit two of the bunniesthat we missed a lot of, we win the game.”

The Lady Generals are now 4-1 to start the season before head-ing to Twin Falls, Idaho, for two games this weekend. They willreturn home for the McCoy Insurance Agency Tournament theweekend of Nov. 21.

Gordon leaves the desert disappointed

AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Jeff Gordon’sbid for a fifth NASCAR Sprint Cup champi-onship was wrecked twice.

The first, in Texas last week, involvedhim directly and led to a melee with BradKeselowski.

The second, at Phoenix on Sunday, camein the pack behind him, and turned out tobe just as devastating for one of NASCAR’smost popular drivers.

Racing for a spot in the season finale nextweek at Homestead, Gordon had his hopesdashed when Ryan Newman knocked KyleLarson into the wall on a last-lap pass.

Gordon finished second to race winnerKevin Harvick, but came up a point shortof the playoff race because of Newman’slast-gasp move.

“We come home second and I just washoping that it was going to be enough,”Gordon said. “When you hear those wordsthat it wasn’t, it’s disappointing.”

Gordon was in solid position inNASCAR’s new knockout playoff systemafter finishing second at Martinsville twoweeks ago. Still, he was a bit disappointed

that he couldn’t overtake Dale EarnhardtJr. for a victory that would have earned anautomatic berth into the finale.

Gordon was in position for that automat-ic berth last week at Texas, racing for thelead on a late restart. His chances endedwhen Keselowski tried to squeeze betweenhim and Jimmie Johnson, creating contactthat sent Gordon spinning into the wallwith a flat tire.

Gordon finished 29th and confrontedKeselowski in the pits, leading to a meleebetween their two teams and Harvick.

Gordon left Texas bloodied — as didKeselowski — but still had a shot at thefinale, heading to Phoenix fourth in playoffpoints.

He had a good weekend in the desert, too,qualifying seventh and racing near thefront throughout Sunday’s race.

Running second, Gordon had the finalplayoff berth in his grasp when Larsonpassed Newman with 12 laps left. His luckchanged on the last lap, when Newmangave Larson a nudge into the wall andraced past him to finish 11th.

SCOREBOARD |

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — On a teamfilled with big-name stars led by PeytonManning, little-used running back C.J.Anderson made the play that turned thetide in favor of the Denver Broncos.

That made for quite a nice homecomingfor Denver’s second-year back.

Anderson gave the Broncos the lead forgood by breaking at least three tackles ona 51-yard catch-and-run and Manningthrew touchdown passes on the next fourdrives to give Denver a 41-17 victory overthe Oakland Raiders on Sunday.

“Just a truly incredible effort play onhis part to take a potentially catch for aloss and turn it into a 50-something-yardtouchdown,” Manning said. “That reallygave us a spark.”

It was part of a huge day for Anderson,who grew up in nearby Vallejo and playedcollege ball at California. Anderson cameinto the game with just 116 yards fromscrimmage but had 73 receiving and 90rushing to help the Broncos (7-2) send theRaiders (0-9) to their 15th straight loss.

“I love playing at home,” Anderson said.“I love road games and then I love playingat home, so it’s like have my ice cream and

my cake at the same time. I feel goodabout that.”

There was almost nothing positive fromthe Raiders in their first blowout losssince interim coach Tony Sparanoreplaced the fired Dennis Allen after fourgames.

Derek Carr threw for 192 yards on 47attempts, most of the production comingon a meaningless touchdown drive in theclosing minutes. He also had two intercep-tions. The running game was limited to 30yards on 15 carries and the defense wascompletely overmatched after a spiritedstart.

“They’re looking for the gold at the endof the rainbow and it hasn’t been there,”Sparano said. “We have to stay the courseand believe in the things that we’re doingand we’re getting better as a football team.I know this is not an indicator of that.”

Here are some other takeaways from thegame:

GAME-CHANGING PLAY: Anderson’sbig play happened on a third-and-8 late inthe first half with the Raiders on top 10-6.He caught the short pass and immediatelybroke a tackle from Miles Burris. He ran

down the sideline, breaking tackles byKhalil Mack and Charles Woodson beforeweaving through the defense for thetouchdown.

“He makes a heck of an individualeffort,” teammate Wes Welker said. “Itwas kind of the spark that we needed toget going.”

BLOOPER REEL: The game — and sea-son — could be summed up in one play forOakland early in the third quarter. Carrwas under pressure when he dumped off apass to offensive lineman Khalif Barnes.Barnes looked shocked when he caughtthe ball, but ran with it despite an ineligi-ble receiver. Malik Jackson knocked theball loose and Chris Harris Jr. recoveredat the 18. Carr said he expected runningback Darren McFadden to be in that spotso he threw the ball without looking.

“Obviously, where we’re at right now, itjust looks ugly, but it’s just one of thosethings that happens,” Carr said.

TURNAROUND: Manning got off to ashaky start, throwing two early intercep-tions and having two drives stall in thered zone for field goals instead of touch-downs. It ended with a typically strong

performance as he threw for 340 yards andfive touchdowns. That extendedManning’s record to 15 straight gameswith at least two TD passes and he hasthrown one in 48 in a row, moving pastJohnny Unitas for third place all-time.

“Certainly I have a great appreciationfor the history of the game and those typeof things, but I thought the most impor-tant thing was to get a win today,”Manning said.

SHORT STUFF: James Jones led theRaiders with eight catches — although itmight have been the least productiveeight-catch day ever for a receiver. Aftergaining 10 yards on his first catch, Joneswas limited to 10 more on his final sevenreceptions. The 20 yards receiving werethe fewest ever by a wide receiver with atleast eight catches.

TOUCHDOWN THOMAS: JuliusThomas’ two touchdowns have him 12already this season. That ties Randy Moss,Terrell Owens, Frank Clarke and BillGroman for the most ever after ninegames. Thomas also became the first tightend with at least 12 TD catches in consecu-tive seasons.

DEAR ABBYPauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips

In 1970, when John Cleesepremiered The Ministry ofSilly Walks on "MontyPython's Flying Circus," hestepped into the comedy hallof fame. No one who remem-bers that high-stepping goofi-

ness or tries to imitate it cankeep a straight face. That'sbecause, as researchers fromCanada's Queen's University,natch, discovered recently,HOW you walk affects yourmemory and mood. In fact,your gait can transform youroutlook from grumpy to glee-ful or happy to horrible, andalter whether your recollec-tions of recent experiencesare negative or positive.

So whenever you head out --always with your constantcompanion, a pedometer --take a couple of seconds toexamine your body's position.Think about the message it'ssending your brain. Are yourshoulders back and relaxed("I'm proud of myself andglad to face the world")? Orare they slumped forward("I'm tired and not lookingforward to what's coming")?Is your core strong ("I feelconfident"), or is your bellyprotruding and your back

straining to stay straight("I'm discouraged")? If need-ed, adjust your posture:Stand up straight; eyesstraight ahead; shouldersslightly down and back;tummy in. And make sureyou're wearing shoes that puta spring in your step.

Now, it's your turn to do ahigh-spirited, even silly, walk.You'll be surprised how itmakes you feel more positive.And it's contagious! Folksyou encounter will be happi-er, too (thanks to mirror neu-rons, but that's another col-umn). Didn't know your walk-ing style could do so muchfor so many, did ya?

DEAR ABBY: May I havesome advice about a touchysubject? One of myboyfriend's close friends isgoing through his third boutwith cancer and the progno-sis is not good. He is marriedwith a healthy 3-year-old son.So imagine our surprisewhen his wife announced

she's pregnant.This is a decision we do not

support. I don't know whatthey're thinking, but if youare facing the reality thatyour spouse will not bearound much longer, we don'tfeel it is wise to bring anoth-er child into the world whowill never know his or herfather.

Some of her close friendswant to throw her a "sprin-kle," and although I am onlyan acquaintance, I have beeninvited. How do I handle this?Should I attend and keep mythoughts to myself, declineand/or send a small gift inmy absence? I have a hardtime making small talk aboutsubjects I don't agree with.

Did I mention she doesnothing but complain abouthow hard her life is now? I'mafraid if I go and get

involved, I'll be on the hookdown the road when shewants to complain about howhard it is to raise two chil-dren alone. -- ISN'T MYCHOICE

DEAR ISN'T: Feeling as youdo, decline the invitation.This woman needs friendsaround her during thispainful and traumatic time,and you do not qualify. Tosend a small gift would beboth thoughtful and kind,because I am sure her life isextremely difficult now.

As to this couple havingmade a decision with whichyou do not agree, allow me topoint out that not all preg-nancies are planned, and thismay be one of them.

DEAR ABBY: My folks arein their mid-70s and havehealth problems. My oldestniece, "Riley," will graduatefrom high school next springand is considering going to acollege near them. My par-ents recently told me that mybrother is suggesting Rileymove in with them.

The girl has some behav-ioral issues and is in counsel-ing. She's not an easy, happyor normal kid. My parentsare extremely uncomfortablewith the idea, but have notsaid anything to my brother.I think they are afraid of afight or causing hurt feel-ings. He is in denial abouthis daughter's problems.

I'm concerned about myparents. At their age, I don'tthink it's fair to expect themto have another teenager intheir home, much less onewith issues. Is it my place tosay something, and if so,what do I say? -- LOOKINGOUT FOR MOM AND DAD

DEAR LOOKING OUT: Youshould definitely say some-thing, but not to your broth-er. Talk with your parents.Remind them that if they'renot OK with the arrange-ment your brother has pro-posed, it's their responsibili-ty to make plain that becauseof their ages and their healthproblems they'll be unable toaccommodate his request.Because it's the truth, itshouldn't cause an argumentor hurt feelings. Also, yourbrother will have plenty ofadvance notice that other liv-ing arrangements will haveto be made for Riley.

BIRTHDAY GUY: ActorFrank John Hughes wasborn in New York Citytoday in 1967. This birthdayguy is known to TV viewersfor his roles as Tim Woodson "24," Walden Belifore on"The Sopranos" and BillGuarnere on the mini-series"Band of Brothers." He'salso appeared on episodes of"Daybreak," "Justified" and"Criminal Minds." Hughes'film work includes "Right-eous Kill," "Catch Me If YouCan" and "Bad Boys."

ARIES (March 21-April19): Maintain your dignityif at all possible. Some daysyou feel you must fight toremain independent. Youmay be put in a position,however, where it's neces-sary to lick the hand thatfeeds you.

TAURUS (April 20-May20): If you set a good exam-ple of hard work and deter-mination, loved ones will beprompted to do the same.When you have time forplay, that special someonemight need to squeeze youinto a busy schedule.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):Resist the irresistible. Digin your heels if someoneurges you to go along withthe crowd or make a deci-sion against your betterjudgment. Someone mightbe competing aggressivelyfor your affections.

CANCER (June 21-July22): Don't waste your moneyon a dare or squander yourtime and get distracted by aminor issue. Remain fo-cused on reaching long-range objectives. Follow

through on promises andyou'll cash in at a later date.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Sitstill and hold on tight ifsomeone is rocking theboat. If you encounter dis-ruptions and disputes,you'll know it isn't a goodtime to put your key ideasand plans into motion. Takea rain check on a socialevent.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):Mind your manners. Bydemonstrating a high levelof respect toward othersyou may earn more credi-bility in the workplace.Don't say or write anythingthat you couldn't show toyour mother.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):Expect the unexpected. Aplan, idea, or presentationmay seem foolproof, but it's

quite possible the powersthat be may not see it thatway. Prepare for all possi-ble outcomes and accept theoutcome with dignity.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.21): Risk and danger holdmagnetic appeal. Someonemight act like a 2-year-oldand say "no" to every propo-sition or warning. Use yourfine sense of decorum to re-main calm.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Rethink old habitsthat tend to slow you down.Try to streamline everydayroutines. Your moneymak-ing instincts are honed to asharp edge, but you mightprofit most by simply notspending.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19): Hurry and worry couldprevent you from hitting

the bull's eye. A brief periodof aggravation will quicklypass. It might be wise tohold off on presentations orimportant discussions untillater in the week.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18): Turn the other cheek.Someone's words may seemlike a challenge. Take a stepback and count to 10. Partic-ipate in physical activitiesto blow off some steam. Putsocial engagements on holdfor the time being.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March20): You could be in toomuch of a hurry to get apiece of the action. There's atendency to compete withthose who show off thenewest or fastest gadgets.Don't be impetuous or get inover your head.

IF NOVEMBER 11 IS

YOUR BIRTHDAY: Duringthe next few weeks youcould be distracted by anamorous aside or inspiredto set off on a wild goosechase. Wait until Decemberto give your ambitions freerein or to make key busi-ness decisions. Perfect yourbusiness skills in themonths ahead. Keep plug-ging away because inMarch or April you may re-ceive a golden opportunityto test your finely-honed ex-pertise with a new job or po-sition. You may adopt amentor or learn from theprofessionals in your fieldso you can be prepared forthe future. A romantic com-mitment is possible, but ifyou're single someone newcould show up to light upyour life.

DIFFI-CULTDEALSGIVE DIFFI-CULT DECI-SIONS

Ludwig Mies van derRohe, an architect whowas born in Germanybut lived in the UnitedStates from 1944 untilhis death in 1969, said,"A chair is a very diffi-cult object. A skyscraperis almost easier. That iswhy Chippendale is fa-mous."

Bridge players sit inchairs and face difficultobjects -- the deals. Thisone, from a social game,is particularly taxing.How should the auctionproceed after Southopens one diamond (doyou agree?) and Westpasses?

Yes, South might opentwo clubs, but his handis a tad shy in high-cardterms.

First, North must de-cide how to respond.Most would bid onespade, but if a 4-4 fit doesnot exist, bidding two

clubs would be better.Over one spade, South

has no textbook rebid.Three diamonds is anunderbid, and three no-trump (which shows agood long minor in ahand too strong for athree-diamond rebid) isunappealing with thelow singleton club. Mychoice would be atwo-heart re-verse. It is notideal, but at leastit is forcing. Here,North would pre-sumably rebid inno-trump, and thehard part wouldbe staying out of aslam.

If North re-sponds two clubs,South can rebid agame-forcingthree diamonds.North will con-tinue with threespades, and Southis again in aquandary. Iwould continuewith four dia-monds, trustingthat three no-trump is not the

only making game.Against six diamonds

or six no-trump, Westmust lead either majorsuit to disrupt declarer'scommunications. Other-wise, declarer can estab-lish dummy's club suitand overtake his spadeking with the ace toreach the dummy.

Hints from Heloise Heloise

Dear Readers: Here is thisweek's SOUND OFF, abouthandicap placards:

"Recently, I was issued a bluehandicapped placard. On theback, it clearly states 'Do notdrive with this displayed,' yet Isee countless vehicles with theplacard hanging from the mir-ror. Why would anyone think itwould be safe to purposefullyobscure a major portion of visi-bility?" -- Christine B. in Texas

I don't think people do this onpurpose; they just are notthinking about it. Oh my gosh!This is very bad, and it couldcause a horrible mishap if thedriver can't see or is distracted.If the driver is concerned aboutlosing the placard, put aclothespin on it and clip it tothe visor when it's time todrive. -- Heloise

P.S.: Please, be safe.SEND A GREAT HINT TO:HeloiseP.O. Box 795000San Antonio, TX 78279-5000Fax: 1-210-HELOISEEmail:

-- Heloise WASHING WALLPAPERDear Heloise: What can I use

to remove candle smoke fromwashable wallpaper? -- Pam,via email

Pam, I am guessing that youare talking about the "blacksoot," or carbon, and not thesmoke smell. Since the wallpa-per is washable, you are inluck. But first, always test asmall spot before working onthe whole area. Use a DRY mi-crofiber cloth or paper towel todab, and pat and gently rub justone small spot. You should seethe black stuff come off. Re-move all that you can in thismanner.

If some soot remains, put adrop of dish soap in a largebowl of water. Mix well and dipa clean sponge (squeeze it so it'sjust damp) into the solution,

and clean ONLY a tiny spot.DON'T rub the whole soot markat one time; you will justspread it around! When it's re-moved, wipe with a little wateron a paper towel and let dry. --Heloise

Standards Link: Reading Comprehension: Use context to understand meaning.

Black & White and Read All OverSelect a page of the newspaper. Find all of the words you can read, and

if you know what they mean, circle them in red.

There are three kinds of skunks. Do the math problems to match the name of each kind of skunk with its description.

We skunks are shy and gentle creatures. Yet the sight of a skunk is a fearful sight to many animals!

That’s because skunks have a powerful and

stinky weapon right under our tails – a VERY stinky spray!

We hiss and stamp our feet. If this doesn’t work, we raise our tail over

our head as a threat.

If those warnings don’t

work, well, LOOK OUT!

However, we only use this weapon when threatened.

Even then, we do everything

possible to avoid sending the final

stinky spray.

23. The face is black except for one white stripe that runs from the nose to the shoulders. At the shoulders, the stripe splits in two parts, one running down each side of the body.

15. It has a broad, hairless muzzle, like that of a pig. The back and tail are white.

10. The smallest of all skunks, it has a dot in the middle of its forehead. The stripes go in lots of different and wiggly directions.

Standards Link: Life Science: There is variation among individuals of one kind within a population.

Standards Link: Social Science: Students use map skills to find the absolute locations of places.
