A magical journey

Ranchers welcome snow, even if it’s calving season

GILLETTE (AP)— The snowstorm this past week created work for more than plowing crews.

Cows in pastures have been giving birth to calves, and local ranchers have been checking on them to make sure they didn’t die in the storm.

“We are at the tail end of calving. But we did have a calf that had a lot of ice built up on it and was very cold and covered with the snow. And it had a very good mother, but we brought it in and warmed it up. It was just chilled down in the weather,” said Cindy Mader, local rancher.

She and her husband Troy Mader have about 160 head on a ranch a few miles north of Gillette. None of their calves died because of the weather, she said Tuesday.

Glenn Clabaugh, who ranches south of Gillette, said he did lose one calf because of the storm. He has 450 cows that are calving, although he’s also at the end of the process.

The cows can get some natural protection in the field hiding behind the trees or flocking to each other. It’s not the snow that puts the calves at risk, it’s the wind and cold.

“If the wind doesn’t blow, then we are in good shape,” Clabaugh tells the Gillette News Record.

“Our younger calves, we calve earlier and they all go through a shed. And of course, that’s more intensive, more work.

And the ones now are out in the pastures.

But we just got back, trying to bed them in straw and that helps,” Clabaugh said. “And there’s potential that we could lose some but so far ... they are going to lose some ears. I’ve seen several so far. You can tell just from that ice and snow that was on them all night. Maybe not all the ear, but the tips of them anyway.”

The cows themselves are smart, too, and help the calves get up and keep warm.

Good robust calves are up and walking within that first hour, and as soon as they start suckling, they are in good shape, Mader said. If they are left there in the field with snow and ice on them, they’ll die from hypothermia.

SF 104, repeal efforts spark debate among local politicians

SHERIDAN — Local members of the Republican Party have expressed split reactions to the party’s State Central Committee endorsement of a referendum to repeal Senate File 104.

The law enacted by the state Legislature restructured the Department of Education and significantly reduced the duties of the superintendent of public instruction. It was signed by Gov. Matt Mead Jan. 29, creating a director of education position that will be appointed by the governor.

Proponents of the law say it was needed to restructure a poorly managed education department. Those against it say it violates the Wyoming Constitution by taking away the superintendent’s elected power of general supervision of state education.

All four of Sheridan County’s representatives — Rosie Berger, R-Big Horn; Kathy Coleman, R-Sheridan; Mike Madden, R-Buffalo; and John Patton, RSheridan — voted for the law. Sen. John Schiffer, R-Kaycee, voted for it, and Sen. Bruce Burns, R-Sheridan, voted against it.

Superintendent of Public Instruction Cindy Hill has filed a lawsuit against the state and the governor regarding the constitutionality of the legislation.

Referendum to repeal SF 104 The Wyoming Constitution Party originally launched the state-wide referendum campaign to get SF 104 repealed through a constitutional amendment on the 2014 ballot and supporters of the effort in each county are collecting signatures for a petition to do just that.

In Gillette, hate crime concerns linked to depressed coal market GILLETTE (AP) — Last semester, Kiela Garner, a Gillette College freshman and member of the school basketball team from Chicago, was shooting hoops with a friend at the Campbell County Recreation Center when a man asked them to play on a different court.

Garner, who is African-American, and her friend ignored him because they were on the court first. Three more people then asked them to leave.

“They said, ‘We don’t want to play with your kind,’” she said.

Garner and her friend decided to leave.

They felt uncomfortable. “We didn’t want to start trouble,” she said.

Garner spoke after a hate-crimes dialogue Thursday, where a local minister said a depressed coal market — which at local mines has resulted in layoffs, decreased overtime and decreased use of contractors – has likely played into a fear of perceived outsiders and racism in Gillette.

In October, a man was seen distributing Ku Klux Klan literature in a north Gillette neighborhood and in an apartment complex on the west side of town.

The Sheridan Press 144 Grinnell Ave. Sheridan, WY 82801 307.672.2431 www.thesheridanpress.com

Neighbors in one neighborhood chased the man off, said Gillette Police Lt. Chuck Deaton.

‘They said, ‘We don’t want to play with your kind.’

Kiela Garner

Gillette College freshman Even though the act didn’t break federal hate crimes laws, it prompted the Police Department and the Wyoming Association of Churches to host Thursday’s dialogue.

Only 17 people attended, which organizers called disappointing. A Denver representative of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Community Relations Service was supposed to attend the meeting in Gillette but could not. The department has cut travel because of the sequester, said Chesie Lee, an attorney and executive director of the Wyoming Association of Churches.

Family sues contending stun gun use caused death

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Relatives of a 77-year-old Korean War veteran with Alzheimer’s disease have filed a lawsuit after the family says he died from injuries sustained when shocked by a police stun gun after wandering away from the Montana Veterans Home.

The Independent Record reports the lawsuit filed April 5 in Helena District Court names the veterans home, Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services, and the Columbia Falls Police Department.

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, including punitive damages against the police department.

The family said Stanley L. “Stan” Downen was hit with the stun gun on June 1, 2012, and died three weeks later from injuries resulting from the

fall.

The entities being sued declined to comment.

Downen, the lawsuit said, was admitted to the state-run home on May 31, 2012, “with a history of behavioral issues and advanced dementia resulting from severe progressive Alzheimer’s disease.”

The complaint said that Downen wandered off the next day, and that staff rather than solving the problem “agitated Stanley and escalated the situation.”

The lawsuit said the staff called 911 and Columbia Falls police responded and, when Downen refused to cooperate, used a stun gun and Downen fell face-first on the pavement and struck his head.

WHY PUBLIC NOTICES ARE IMPORTANT |

GLOSSARY OF TERMS |

Public notices allow citizens to monitor their government and make sure that it is working in their best interest. Independent newspapers assist in this cause by carrying out their partnership with the people’s right to know through public notices. By offering an independent and archived record of public notices, newspapers foster a more trusting relationship between government and its citizens.

Newspapers have the experience and expertise in publishing public notices and have done so since the Revolutionary War. Today, they remain an established, trustworthy and neutral source that ably transfers information between government and the people.

Public notices are the lasting record of how the public’s resources are used and are presented in the most efficient and effective means possible.

Pictured is the original William Moncreiffe house before the extension was built, and when trees were just getting a good start. The house was built in 1892 and was purchased by Bradford Brinton in 1923. In 1961, Brinton's sister, Helen, set up a trust, as Bradford Brinton Memorial Ranch, and opened it to the public. The building today is beautifully cared for and is open for tours in the summer.

William Moncreiffe was among the first stockholders of the Sheridan Commercial Company in 1892, and served on the board of the First National Bank from 1903-1924. He and his brother Malcolm were major players in the early history of cattle, horses and polo in the county. The photo is from the Walsh-Moncreiffe Collection of the Sheridan County Museum's Memory Book Project.

FROM THE SHERIDAN PRESS

1988 — The city of Sheridan may change its current policy and begin furnishing water outside its boundaries if a proposed resolution is adopted by the city council. The city presently will only extend utilities to property contiguous to its boundaries if the owner agrees to annex.

2003 — The city of Sheridan will spend just under $2 million in 2003-04 to operate the municipal landfill, Solid Waste Manager Alan Cummings told members of Sheridan’s City Council during a work session Monday. That doesn’t include the $200,000 per year in Optional One-Cent Sales Tax revenues the city sets aside for staterequired ground-water remediation in the old city landfill.

2008 — Two Sheridanbased engineering and service companies jointly became the first industry recipients of an award from Wyoming’s Department of Environmental Quality for their “excellence” in protecting Wyoming’s water quality. The 2007 Construction Storm Water

Recognition Award for Industrial Construction Activities was presented to JM Huber Corp. and Baker Energy at the companies’ joint monthly safety meeting at Sheridan’s Holiday Inn this morning.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 15, 1912, the British luxury liner RMS Titanic sank in the North Atlantic off Newfoundland at 2:20 a.m. ship’s time, more than 2½ hours after striking an iceberg; 1,514 people died, while less than half as many survived.

On this date: In 1865, President Abraham Lincoln died, nine hours after being shot the night before by John Wilkes Booth at Ford’s Theater in Washington.

Andrew Johnson became the nation’s 17th president.

In 1874, an exhibition of paintings by 30 artists, including Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, PierreAuguste Renoir and Paul Cezanne, opened in Paris.

(A critic derisively referred to the painters as “Impressionists,” a name which stuck.)

Even so, Burns was not in favor of the Controversial committee endorsement Republican state committee’s endorsement Margaret Tueller of the Lincoln County of the repeal referendum.

cause confusion as it will be on the same ballot as a new superintendent of public instruction, which means anyone running for the position won’t know what position they are running for — the one created by SF 104 or one restored by a constitutional amendment.

Coleman voted for SF 104 but not without a lot of personal study. She was originally a “no” vote, she said, but decided she had more reasons to vote for the law than against it.

For Berger, SF 104 was about making the Department of Education less complex and more accountable.

“When we didn’t see those laws being implemented by our superintendent, we thought we could separate the duties and Berger get more concise information and follow through with the desires of the legislative body,” Berger said.

Patton was present at the central committee meeting in Casper April 6 (as were Coleman, Burns and Madden). He was prepared to speak about SF 104, along with a couple other representatives, but he was never asked to do so.

“It was strictly ‘we the people’ against their institution, the Legislature,” Patton said.

Patton has served in various capacities in the Wyoming Legislature and the Department of Education. In 1985, he helped draft an audit report for the state Board of Education. The report said a law

should be drafted to clearly define the roles of the Board of Education —making it a stronger, more independent policy-making board or a board that is auxiliary to the superintendent. No action was taken on the audit in the Legislature at that time.

Patton said SF 104 was necessary to improve education at the local level.

“The public and its institutions have to have a better relationship, and I think that will occur because of this. I don’t Patton think either extreme on either side is going to be the victor, but they play a role,” Patton said about the endorsement effort.

Hill, current superintendent of public instruction, was encouraged by the committee’s repeal endorsement.

“I wasn’t surprised that they had done that,” Hill said. “I think it’s a reflection of what the people are thinking in Wyoming.

Someone said that SF 104 was an attempt to take politics out of education. I would say it took the people out of Wyoming’s education.”

Hill said she is glad people are talking about the Constitution and education and hopes more people will pay attention to party platforms and what their role is in helping to enact them.

According to Carol Thompson, State Court Clerk, the Supreme Court Case regarding the legislation could be heard by early fall if it follows the normal briefing schedule.

Kati Sherwood encourages service FROM STAFF REPORTS

SHERIDAN — Kati Sherwood is entering her third year as chair of the Northern Wyoming Community College District Board of Trustees. She and her husband, Kent, own Sheridan Physical Therapy and Buffalo Physical Therapy where she works as a speech language pathologist.

She is a native of Reno, Nev., but moved to Sheridan in 1995 while looking for a new place to call home.

“We drove through and when we crested the hill between Buffalo and Sheridan, it was so beautiful and I said ‘I hope we can live here!’”

In addition to her volunteer service with the college, Sherwood is on the board of directors for the Sheridan Dog and Cat Shelter, serves on the Holy Name Catholic Church finance council and is a board member with the Wyoming Speech and Hearing

Association.

“I think it is important to give back to the community,” she said, about her volunteer service. “We've been really fortunate in Sheridan. We’re not natives and people have been so good to us. People should find the things they are passionate about and that they like and then do them. If you find people that are passionate (to volunteer), then you can really get things done.”

One thing folks would be surprised to know about the college is...how many more students are educated each year. We've had a 33 percent increase in the number of full-time students in the past five years. And many of those students want to enter our highly employable areas of study — welding, machine tool, diesel, nursing, et al. Assuring we have the facilities and faculty to accommodate these students is something we are really trying to make happen at Sheridan College.

If you visit the college campus, be sure not to miss...the Veteran's Plaza.

Right behind the flags when you enter is a memorial to our veterans.

Dedicated in November of 2012, this plaza has the names of family and friends of the college who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, as well as students who have served our country.

The most exciting thing happening on campus right now is... the construction of the new academic center!

The trait I most admire in others is... humility. I love this quote and I think it embodies people who live with humility. “True merit, like a river, the deeper it is, the less noise it makes,” by Edward F. Halifax.

More people should volunteer in the community because... we live in an amazing community and assuring that the college, the Dog and Cat Shelter — whatever someone is passionate about — continues to thrive and be around for future generations is important and usually fun...sometimes time-intensive, but worth it.

My biggest influence has been... my family and my Catholic upbringing.

Choosing to do the right thing and helping others is challenging, but easier when it's what is expected of you.

Kati Sherwood dedicates herself to volunteer activities throughout the Sheridan community, including serving on the board of trustees for the Northern Wyoming Community College District, the Sheridan Dog and Cat Shelter and the Holy Name Catholic Church finance council.

Great (Adam) Scott: Aussie finally dons green at Augusta National

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Adam Scott strolled into the room, looking quite dapper in green.

He let out a deep sigh and struggled to contain his emotions — the thoughts of Greg Norman, the folks Down Under, the dad he hugged so tight alongside the 10th green.

It sure felt a lot different than the last time Scott was summoned to the media room at the end of a major championship.

That was Lytham, where he had to answer for throwing away a

seemingly sure victory in the British Open with bogeys on the last four holes.

This was Augusta, where he reveled in the biggest win of his career Sunday evening.

Less than eight months apart, everything changed.

Now, he’s Adam Scott, major champion.

“What an incredible day,” he said. “Everything fell my way in the end. You just never know.”

Using one of those big putters, Scott became the first Australian

to win the Masters, beating Angel Cabrera on the second hole of a stirring playoff played in a steady rain and dwindling light, finally settling down in the holScott low that is the 10th green, amid the towering Georgia pines.

Cabrera’s 15-foot putt rolled up right next to the hole and stopped.

When Scott’s 12-footer dropped in the cup, he pumped his arms furi-

ously and screamed toward the gray, darkening sky — quite a celebration for a guy who’s always been accused of being a little too laid-back. No one would’ve said that on this day.

“I was pumped,” he said.

For Scott, this victory was sweet on so many levels. Certainly, there was a measure of payback for what happened last July at the British Open, where Scott played beautifully for three days and 14 holes and seemed to have a stranglehold on the claret jug. Then he

bogeyed the 15th hole. And the 16th. And the 17th. And, stunningly, the 18th, surrendering the title to Ernie Els. Scott handled the staggering defeat with amazing grace, vowing to somehow “look back and take the positives from it.” But no one knew if he might go the way of Ed Sneed or Jean Van de Velde, golfers who threw away majors and never came close to winning another.

SHS cut short by weather in Billings; Gary Benson Thurs.

FROM STAFF REPORTS

SHERIDAN — Sheridan High School track and field athletes will hope for a shift in the weather this weekend for their only home meets of the season.

They managed part of Saturday’s meet in Billings before rainstorms forced meet officials to stop the competition in its tracks.

Gabby Edeen and Mariah Grant each qualified for the finals in both the 100 and 200 meter races, but the finals were not run before the cancellation.

Edeen had the top qualifying time in the 200 and the

fourth best in the 100.

Zoe Sherman was sixth in the 800 meters, and Baures noted that Erin Jensik jumped well in the conditions, Edeen good enough for a tie for fourth place.

Among limited boys results, Kyle Deitsche placed fourth in the 800 meter run.

Originally scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, the annual Gary Benson Memorial track meet has been moved to Thursday at 1 p.m. at SHS. The annual Dan Hansen meet is set for 10

a.m. Saturday.

Baures said that the Dan Hansen should be very competitive this year due to more bad weather forecasts in other parts of the region, making the registration for the meet in Sheridan popular. Big Horn and Tongue River athletes traditionally compete.

The two home competitions this week are the first and last for the Broncs, as they will compete in the Track Classic next weekend in Casper before their season begins to wind down with more meets in Casper and Gillette before regionals and state.

TR track runs well at weather-shortened L.A. Kohnke event in Powell FROM STAFF REPORTS

SHERIDAN — Tongue River High School track and field athletes traveled to Powell Saturday after their scheduled competition in Glenrock was canceled Friday.

In one of the only competitions not canceled in advance by the weather, the L.A. Kohnke finished 12 girls events and 10 boys before it gave way due to inclement weather.

Head coach Chuck Walters said his team had a pretty good weekend, even as they left part of the team at home taking the ACT. Amanda Hutchinson ran well in the girls 800. Her 2 minute 34.42 second time was good enough for second place. Hutchinson took second in the girls 400, running a 1:05.20.

Chayenne Malstrom (2.53:99) was

sixth in the girls 800, and Elana Ostler was seventh in the girls 1,600 with a 6:44.13.

On the boys side, Austen Scammon took second in the 300 meter hurdles with his 43.80, and was fifth in the 100 hurdles.

In the 1,600 meter run, Cody Jolovich placed fourth, running the race in 5:05.

Walters said that the event was canceled before some of the 200 meter races, the two mile and the 4 by 4 could be run. Through the finished events, the Eagles and Lady Eagles were both in fifth place in the team scores. Cody High School was well ahead of the field in both boys and girls team scores.

Next up, Tongue River athletes will compete in the Dan Hansen at Sheridan High School Saturday.

SCOTT: Victory a long time coming for Aussie FROM B1

For Scott, there are no such worries.

Lytham is redeemed.

“Golf gives,” Cabrera said, “and golf takes.”

No one knows that more than Norman, a runner-up three times at Augusta National, a third-place finisher three other times, but never a winner.

This one was for him, too.

“He inspired a nation of golfers,” Scott said. “Part of this is for him because he’s given me so much time and inspiration and belief. I drew on that a lot.”

In a grander scheme, this victory was for an entire continent. Australia has produced some greats of the game over the last half-century but never a Masters champion. Until now.

They’re on top of the world Down Under.

“We are a proud sporting nation and like to think we are the best at everything,” Scott said with a mischievous grin. “This is the one thing in golf that we had not been able to achieve. It’s amazing that it’s my destiny to be the first Aussie to win.”

Norman was so nervous watching TV at his home in south Florida that he went to the gym when the final group made the turn. He returned for the last four holes and was texting with friends as his emotions shifted with every putt.

Coming down the stretch, three Aussies — Scott, Jason Day and Marc Leishman — actually had a chance to win.

Scott brought it home.

“I’m over the moon,” Norman told The Associated Press. “Sitting there watching Adam, I had a tear in my eye. That’s what it was all about. It was Adam doing it for himself, and for the country.”

For Cabrera, a burly, 43-year-old from Argentina, the majors have been a big giver. His last victory on the PGA or European tours before Sunday? The 2009 Masters. Before that? The 2007 U.S. Open.

In other words, Cabrera doesn’t win often, but when he does, it’s usually a pretty significant victory.

He almost got another one, trying with Scott in regulation at 9-under 279.

“I had a lot of peace of mind and I was very confident,” said Cabrera, who closed with a 2-under 70. “I knew that it depended on me. I knew that (the other contenders) can make some birdies, but I still was thinking that it depended on me.”

Cabrera made the turn with a twostroke lead but stumbled on the back nine, knocking his drive behind the pine trees at the 10th and then sending his ball into Rae’s Creek on the 13th, leading to bogeys at both. But a birdie at the 16th gave him a shot, and he struck what might’ve been the best — well, certainly the most clutch — shot of the day at the 72nd hole after Scott, playing just ahead in the penultimate group, rolled in a 20-footer for birdie and a one-stroke lead.

“For a split-second, I let myself think I could have won,” said Scott, who certainly celebrated like his 69 was good enough.

Not so fast.

Cabrera stuck a 7-iron from 163 yards to 3 feet, leaving a gimme of a putt to force the playoff. Scott was watching a television in the scoring area.

“I got to see Angel hit an incredible shot,” Scott said. “Then it was try to get myself ready to play some more holes.”

They went back to the 18th tee box for

the first playoff hole. After matching drives and approach shots, both rolling off the front of the green, Cabrera chipped over Scott’s ball and nearly put it in the cup. Scott pitched to 3 feet, both made their putts and the playoff moved on to No. 10.

Again, two more booming drives and two more nifty approaches, leaving them both with a good shot at birdie.

If Cabrera’s ball had turned one more time, they might’ve been returning to the course Monday to finish up.

When it didn’t, Scott was determined to end things before nightfall.

“Had to finish it,” he said.

Scott got a big assist on the winning putt from his caddie, who knows a thing or two about winning at Augusta. Steve Williams was on the bag for 13 of Tiger Woods’ 14 major titles, a close friend to the world’s top-ranked golfer before Woods’ personal life fell apart. Williams was among those cut loose in the aftermath, a bitter split that made this victory about as satisfying to him as it was Scott.

Especially after Scott turned to Williams to get a read on the putt.

“I could hardly see the green in the darkness,” the golfer said. “He was my eyes on that putt.”

Scott told Williams he thought the right-to-left break would be about the width of a cup. Williams set him straight.

“It’s at least two cups,” the caddie said. “It’s going to break more than you think.”

Scott took the advice.

A short time later, he was trying on a green jacket.

“The winning putt was the highlight putt of my career,” Williams said, “because he asked me to read it.”

For his former boss, there was more major misery. Woods was at the center of a firestorm for an improper drop during the second round, which led to a two-stroke penalty and complaints that Woods had actually gotten off easy, because he could’ve been disqualified for signing an improper scorecard.

Four strokes behind going to the final round, Woods struggled with the speed of the greens on the first eight holes — they weren’t nearly as quick because of the rain — and was too far behind by the time he got something going. He finished with a 70 and tied for fourth, four shots out of the playoff.

“I played well,” he said.

“Unfortunately, I just didn’t make enough putts.”

Day seized the lead with three straight birdies through the middle of the back side, but he couldn’t hold on.

A curious decision to putt through 12 feet of fringe behind the 16th green led to a bogey, and he surrendered another stroke after failing to get up-and-down from the bunker at the 17th.

He finished with a 70 and two shots back at 281.

“I think the pressure got to me little bit,” Day said.

Scott didn’t let it get to him, even when he couldn’t get any putts to fall early in the round with that big stick of his, which have become all the rage in the majors. He finally caught a break at the 13th, when his approach rolled back off the green, but stopped short of the creek. He wound up making a birdie, which gave him the spark he needed.

“I had no momentum on the day at that point,” Scott said. “That was a great break. And everyone who wins gets those kind of breaks.”

After Lytham, he sure had it coming.

Rockies sweep Padres behind Helton’s HR, De La Rosa’s six scoreless innings

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego Padres brought in the rightfield fences in an attempt to make Petco Park play a little fairer, knowing that opponents would benefit, too.

Todd Helton is glad they did.

Helton’s pinch-hit, two-run homer in the seventh inning hit the top of the new right-field fence, which was moved in 11 feet, bounced over the Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Deck and into the seats to break a scoreless tie. Coupled with a combined two-hitter by Jorge De La Rosa and three relievers, it carried the Colorado Rockies to a 2-1 victory Sunday against San Diego, their second three-game sweep of the Padres this season.

“It helped a little bit in that situation. So, yes, I do,” Helton said when asked if he likes the new fences, which were also lowered by several inches.

Last year, Helton’s fly ball would have been just another long out.

Instead, it was his first homer this season and his third career pinch homer. It was his ninth shot at Petco Park, tying him with Justin Upton and Andruw Jones

for the most by a visiting player.

The 39-year-old Helton is still the Rockies’ starting first baseman, but is getting more days off.

“He’s going to have some at-bats in those types of situations late in games,” manager Walt Weiss said.

“It’s a credit to him being ready mentally and focused for that atbat on a day he had off.”

Helton was pinch-hitting for De La Rosa when he drove a 2-1 pitch from Dale Thayer. He said his approach was “the same as whenever I hit: sit back, see the ball and try to put a good swing on it.

You don’t try to do anything different. The only difference is, you only get one shot. That’s what makes it so difficult. I’m not good at it. But I got the right pitch and was able to stay back and had enough barrel on it to get it over the shorter fence.”

The Rockies have hit 11 homers in six games against the Padres this season. Colorado also swept San Diego at Coors Field last weekend.

Lefty Clayton Richard shut out the Rockies on two hits in six innings before making way for Thayer (0-1) starting the seventh.

Thayer issued a leadoff walk to Chris Nelson, who moved up on a sacrifice by Yorvit Torrealba.

Helton homered on a 2-1 pitch.

De La Rosa (1-1) held the Padres scoreless on two hits in six innings, struck out seven and walked two. He threw 92 pitches, extending the Rockies’ streak of consecutive games without a 100pitch start to 114.

“That’s a good day for Jorge,” Weiss said. “He’s pitched well enough to have at least one win already this year. I felt good for him that he ended up getting the W. I told him when I took him out that we’re going to try to get you a W right here. Todd hits a two-run homer.”

It was De La Rosa’s first victory since 2011. He made three starts at the end of 2012, going 0-2, after missing more than a year following reconstructive elbow surgery.

“It was real special,” said De La Rosa, who won 16 games in 2009.

“It was a very hard time last year and the year before. I have to keep focus in every game I pitch and try to be the same guy as I was before.”

Rafael Betancourt pitched the

ninth for his fifth save in as many chances. He walked the first two batters and allowed a sacrifice fly by rookie Jedd Gyorko.

Betancourt struck out Nick Hundley with a runner on second to end it.

“We were facing a guy who was on today,” Gyorko said. “He was pretty tough and we couldn’t get that big hit when we needed it.

Even though we only had a couple of hits, we kept battling to try and get in position to win the game, but it fell short.”

After Gyorko drew a walk from De La Rosa with one out in the fourth, Rockies pitchers retired 14 straight Padres batters until Everth Cabrera walked leading off the ninth.

Richard got out of a jam in the sixth, when he retired Josh Rutledge with runners on second and third. But it was his 104th pitch and he didn’t get the chance to become the first Padres starter to pitch into the seventh this season. Richard struck out four and walked four.

“We didn’t get the offense,” manager Bud Black said. “We talked about when we pitch well,

you’d like to be able to support it with a couple of runs. That’s how it goes when things aren’t going your way. You’d like to see a wellpitched game with enough runs.

Today, that didn’t happen. They got the big blow. We didn’t.”

NOTES: Padres slugger Carlos Quentin dropped his appeal and began serving an eight-game suspension for rushing the mound and inciting a brawl in which Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke broke his left collarbone.

That means Quentin will miss the Padres’ three-game series at Dodger Stadium beginning Monday night. Quentin also was fined $3,000. With the need for an outfielder, the Padres recalled Kyle Blanks and optioned RHP Thad Weber to Triple-A Tucson.

The Rockies have won each of De La Rosa’s last eight starts against the Padres, dating to Sept 11, 2009, at Petco Park. De La Rosa recorded his 700th career strikeout when he fanned Chris Denorfia to end the fifth.

Going into Helton’s at-bat, Thayer had not allowed a hit in 19 at-bats dating to his final appearance of 2012.

ANOTHER BOOST FOR COFFEE

BY MICHAEL ROIZEN, M.D., AND MEHMET OZ, M.D. Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Frank Sinatra and Bob Marley all have crooned songs about coffee -- as cups of love with lots of flavor. We sing its praises because daily consumption makes your RealAge younger by keeping your blood vessels flexible and lowering your stroke risk by 30 percent. It also cuts the risk of early death by 18 percent in women and 3 percent in men. Plus: Three cups a day may help you dodge some cancers, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes. And now a recent study found that residents of

the Greek island of Icaria, where they have the longest lifespan in the world, owe their longevity in part to the boiled Greek coffee they drink every day.

If you want those good effects from your morning joe, remember, when it comes to coffee/caffeine, there's no one-cup-fitsall recommendation. Some folks say that drinking several cups makes them sleepy!

Others complain of the shakes from just one cup (harmless, but disconcerting). And a caffeine overdose can trigger everything from heart palpitations to insomnia, migraines, vomiting and diarrhea. A few years ago, more than 40 seagulls in Canada died after snacking on used coffee grinds in a restaurant's garbage. But for most healthy adults, two to three cups of brewed coffee a day deliver the benefits of caffeine (brain focus, muscle endurance and reduced inflammation). The brew also contains heart-loving antioxidants and phenols -- they're in decaf, too. There are few risks beyond yellow teeth and bad breath. So grab your toothbrush -- and opa!

LITTLE HELLION MAKES VISITS TO GRAM'S HOUSE A CHORE DEAR ABBY: My daughter died in a car accident two years ago. She and her boyfriend, "Reed," had a 4month-old daughter, "Angela." Since then, Reed has been very understanding and liberal with visitations.

However, it didn't take him long to find another girlfriend, who has a 4-year-old daughter I'll call Madison.

The first time I went to pick up Angela, the new girlfriend hinted strongly that I should also take Madison. I didn't like it, but I took her. Abby, Madison is the meanest, rudest child I have ever met. She called my dad ugly, my daughter ugly and my house "stinky." I saw her push Angela down and laugh.

Then she tried to smother my granddaughter by sitting on her head on the couch. The last time I brought Angela home, Madison told me that everything I bought for Angela I had to buy for her, too.

I don't want to take Madison anymore. It has been difficult losing my daughter, seeing her replaced

with a new girlfriend and now being expected to include an unpleasant "stepgranddaughter" in everything. But if I don't take her, I'm afraid they won't let me visit Angela. Do you have any advice? -ANGIE'S GRAM IN MISSOURI DEAR GRAM: If you haven't already spoken to Reed and the girl's mother about her behavior, you should. Madison may act out because she's jealous of Angela and, among other things, she needs to learn better manners before she's included in any more visits.

If she had pulled the shenanigans with me that she has with you, I would have taken her home immediately.

This is not to say that Madison should be permanently excluded, but you should have time with your

granddaughter one-on-one.

The same is true for Madison and her grandparents. You are not a built-in baby sitter, which appears to be how you have been made to feel, but nothing will change until you broach the subject.

DEAR ABBY: I feel fortunate to find myself with the love of my life at 24. "Josh" is charming, intelligent, a hard worker and a wonderful partner. I know we can achieve all the things we hope for. We have discussed where we stand on issues such as children, family, finances, living arrangements, etc. We are mostly compatible, and where there is tension, we work it through and compromise.

We are clearly headed toward engagement. He has picked out a ring and I want it badly, but I am hesitant. I am afraid I won't give him what he deserves.

I dated a man in college for three years. We talked about our future, made plans, and then I changed my mind. The pain I caused was terrible. I still regret hurting him, although I don't regret leaving. I'm afraid I will do it again. I'm so anxious I sometimes think I should bail now and cut his losses just in case. I don't think I will, but who can see the future?

My mother says I have always been obsessed with making the right choice. Am I being foolish and letting my anxieties run away with me?

-- SUSAN IN CONNECTICUT DEAR SUSAN: There are better ways to cope with your anxiety than "throwing the baby out with the bathwater."

You are not the same person you were in college. You have grown and are obviously more aware of the consequences of your actions.

Because you are anxious about making a commitment to "the love or your life" -someone with whom you have many things in common -- it's time to schedule an appointment with a licensed counselor to discuss it. It will be time and money well spent.

Nitkowski: ‘42’ role brings home Robinson’s path C.J. NITKOWSKI FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

EDITOR’S NOTE: C.J. Nitkowski pitched for eight teams in the major leagues from 19952005, then played pro ball in Japan and South Korea. He portrays Phillies pitcher Dutch Leonard in the current film ‘42.’

Jackie Robinson had no influence on me.

He didn’t open any doors for me. He didn’t pave any way. He didn’t give me the hope that I could do anything I aspired to in a country where some viewed me as less of a man. He didn’t give me the courage to forge ahead despite the circumstances surrounding me.

Jackie Robinson was just never a hero to me.

Jackie broke the color barrier in major league baseball on April 15, 1947, and he died in 1972. I was born in 1973 and really didn’t have a clue as to what was going in the world until at least 50 years after Jackie’s historic debut as a member of the Brooklyn Dodgers. We just never connected. He was a historical at best figure to me, as distant as Babe Ruth and JFK. And, so, when baseball began recognizing Jackie every April, the question would always be presented: “What effect did Jackie Robinson have on you as a major league ballplayer?”

I could give each reporter or radio host the best politically correct answer you’ve ever heard. Ask me to be completely honest with you and what I would have said was, “None.”

I grew up in a predominantly white New York City suburb. I was a Yankees fan who, as a kid, idolized Willie Randolph, their star second baseman in the ‘80s.

Willie had more influence on me than Jackie ever did. Despite being left-handed, I wanted to be him. There were no thoughts of black or white. I didn’t know the game or life any other way.

From 2007-10, I played baseball in Asia and, for the first time in my life, I was a minority. As the seasons went on, I started experiencing what I felt like was being treated as less than fair.

The conclusions I drew were that it was simply because of my race, not because of my actions. I was criticized more harshly than other teammates, expectations were higher for me and I was given less of a chance. I was under what I perceived as an unfair microscope and I was always looking over my shoulder.

Things reached a pinnacle during one game and the emotions that followed were raw and not anything like my personality. I didn’t handle it well. I was full of ill thoughts. I wanted to lash out.

I wanted to cause pain to those that I felt were suppressing my career.

I had never felt that way before, but what drew this out of me was the belief that I was being judged and underappreciated for no other reason but the fact that I was white.

In those moments, I thought of some of my past Latino teammates. Many over the years who struggled to adjust, to get comfortable and who would even get so defensive that they wouldn’t trust anybody. I could never completely understand their behavior — I thought it was foolish, I thought they were paranoid.

But now I got a very small taste of what that was like and I hated it. I wanted retribution, I wanted somebody to pay.

I was fortunate to get a role in the Jackie Robinson biopic “42” portraying Phillies pitcher Dutch Leonard. I pitch to Jackie three times and knock him down, but I don’t drill him.

My scenes take place at the same time as those depicting Philadelphia manager Ben Chapman. The scenes and the language are critical to the movie.

Writer-director Brian Helgeland knew the importance of bringing this part of Jackie’s experience to his film, regardless of how uncomfortable.

Chapman demeans Jackie in some of the most vile and disgusting ways one man could tear down another. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard insults that awful before, at least not to that degree

Kuroda leads Yanks over Orioles

City, Cubs OK $500 million Wrigley renovation CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs and the City of Chicago say they have completed a $500 million pact to overhaul Wrigley Field.

The agreement announced Sunday night includes $300 million in stadium renovations that will feature a large new outfield video screen. It allows the Cubs to play more night games and expands parking with 1,000 remote spaces.

and with that intent, filled with hate and pure disgust for the man they were directed toward.

In the movie, you’ll hear it once and its effect will be powerful. As a member of the cast, I heard it for hours upon hours the day we were shooting the scene. Multiple takes from multiple angles, it seemed like it would never end.

You couldn’t help but be disturbed by the powerfulness of the language. One of the makeup women turned to me during one of Chapman’s takes and whispered, “I can’t wait for this day to be over.”

I’ll never experience anything close to what Jackie Robinson did in 1947 and neither will you, regardless of which race you are.

What this movie did for me and what I hope it does for you is bring Jackie’s awful experiences to life. It forced me to absorb what his experience was really like. It shamed me into feeling embarrassed how I handle my own minute interpretation of injustice.

The 70-year anniversary of Jackie breaking the color barrier is not that far away. Few remain who witnessed his debut and soon they will be gone. But I now feel I know who Jackie Robinson really was and what 1947 was really like for him.

No longer do I have to feign my way through admiration for him.

It is sincere, and I’ll be a better man for it.

The two sides say in a joint statement that the team hopes to receive city approval for the work before the end of the current season. The team will pay the entire cost of renovating 99-year-old Wrigley and building a $200 million nearby hotel project.

Still unclear is whether the plan will please neighborhood rooftop business owners, who have threatened to sue if their views of the playing field are blocked.

This Date In Baseball The Associated Press Compiled By PAUL MONTELLA April 16 1929 — Cleveland’s Earl Averill became the first American League player to hit a home run in his first major league plate appearance. The Indians won the game 5-4 in 11 innings on Carl Lind’s double.

1935 — Babe Ruth, 40, made a sensational National League debut in Boston. His single and homer off Carl Hubbell led the Braves over the Giants 4-2.

1940 — Bob Feller of Cleveland defeated the Chicago White Sox 1-0 in the only opening day nohitter in major league history.

1948 — WGN-TV televised a baseball game for the first time. It was an exhibition game at Wrigley Field with Jack Brickhouse doing the play-by-play. The White Sox defeated the Cubs 4-1.

1972 — Burt Hooton of the Cubs no-hit the Philadelphia Phillies 4-0 at Wrigley Field.

1978 — Bob Forsch of the St. Louis Cardinals nohit the Philadelphia Phillies 5-0. Less than a year later, Bob’s brother Ken of the Houston Astros pitched a no-hitter against Atlanta. They are the only brothers to throw no-hitters.

1984 — Dave Kingman of the Oakland A’s hit three home runs, including a grand slam, in his first three at-bats. In total, he drove in eight runs in a 9-6 victory over the Seattle Mariners.

1997 — The Chicago Cubs set the mark for worst start in National League history, making three more errors as they extended their losing streak to 12 with a 4-0 loss to the Colorado Rockies. Chicago broke the modern NL record of 0-10 set by Atlanta in 1988 and the overall NL record of 0-11 by the 1884 Detroit Wolverines.

2002 — Lance Berkman homered in his first three at-bats and drove in five runs in Houston’s 8-3 victory over Cincinnati.

2005 — Toronto’s Reed Johnson was hit by a major league record-tying three pitches — two with the bases loaded — in the Blue Jays’ 8-0 victory over Texas.

2006 — Albert Pujols hit three home runs, including a two-run shot in the bottom of the ninth, to give St. Louis an 8-7 win over Cincinnati.

2007 — The Cleveland Indians became the first team in nearly 55 years to win a game with their only hit coming in their first at-bat. Grady Sizemore led off Cleveland’s 2-1 win over the Chicago White Sox with a double.

2009 — Grady Sizemore hit a grand slam and Cleveland ruined the first game at the new Yankee Stadium by beating New York 10-2.

Today’s birthday: Paco Rodriguez 22.

NEW YORK (AP) — Hiroki Kuroda pitched a five-hitter for his fifth major league shutout and Brett Gardner hit his first home run off a left-handed pitcher since July 2010, leading the New York Yankees over the Baltimore Orioles 3-0 Sunday night.

Kuroda (2-1) struck out four and walked none, lifting the Yankees back over .500 at 6-5.

Orioles starter Wei-Yin Chen (0-2) matched him until the fifth. Brennan Boesch led off with a single and scored on Jayson Nix’s sacrifice fly, and Gardner hit a drive high off the right-field foul pole. Gardner had gone 178 at-bats without a home run off a lefty — 198 including the postseason — since connecting off Toronto’s Ricky Romero on July 3, 2010.

Hints from Heloise Finger-Lickin' (Not) Good Dear Readers: Here is this week's SOUND OFF, about people spreading germs: "Since we had such a bad flu season, I have a huge pet peeve.

Some people have a habit of licking their fingers to open plastic bags, turn pages on a book or leaf through pages of paper. I know for some it's been a lifelong habit, but they must realize that they are spreading germs and disease when they do so. Make them stop! -- Maria from New Jersey" Maria, I'm with you! This is a disgusting and unhealthy habit for many reasons. Folks, please stop and think for a second.

Worse? When someone licks a thumb to count money, then hands it to you! I don't want to think how many people have done the same with that bill! -Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Other uses for cleaned-out candle jars: * Store screws, nails, etc. * Keep by the dryer to collect things left in pockets. * Collect change in one. * Use to keep extra buttons for clothing.

* Make a "love jar" with little notes for your loved one.

-- Heloise FIXTURE POLISH Dear Heloise: My chrome bathroom fixtures have a lot of hard-water buildup on them from soap and dirt. Do you have an easy way to get them clean and "polished"-looking again? -- Shelly in New York Sure do, Shelly! I have an easy hint that uses my favorite household product -- vinegar!

Using undiluted vinegar and a microfiber cloth, wipe the bathroom fixtures and let the vinegar sit for a minute or two, rub with the cloth and then rinse with water. If you have really hard-to-remove water stains, take a tissue, cover the area, then dampen with vinegar. Let it sit for a while. Then use a scrub brush, rinse and dry.

Vinegar is a great product to have handy. For more of my favorite vinegar hints, order my pamphlet Heloise's Fantabulous Vinegar Hints and More.

FYI: You can remove and soak the faucet's aerator in vinegar to remove lime and hard-water buildup. -Heloise STORAGE SOLUTION Dear Heloise: I have trouble getting things down from storage. I got plastic spray paint and painted the storage tubs: orange for Thanksgiving, red for Christmas and so on. I made a list of what's in each tub and numbered them. When I need something, I just tell my friend the color of the box and the number. -- Avis in Helotes, Texas 'TO GO' CUPS Dear Heloise: Being a grandmother, I seem to always need "to go" cups, which are spillproof.

I save the plastic individual cookie containers and covers. I wash them out, cut a plus sign in the top, insert a straw, and the kids and I are ready to enjoy our outing. I may dispose of them, or I can be a "green" grandma and reuse them. -Janelle in Port Allen, La.

Bridge FOR GOOD DEFENSE, POINTS AND PLAYS The late Sen. Arlen Specter said, "If you are going to have to play defense all the time, you cannot have the kind of ingenuity, assertiveness, independence and intelligence that have made our country strong."

That is not the case at the bridge table. In a pair tournament (duplicate), if your defense is excellent because you are ingenious and intelligent, you should want to defend all of the time.

Then you will get one top after another.

This week we will look at one of the most important and taxing aspects of defense -- tracking the high-card points to place the unseen key cards.

In this deal, East has to find the winning de-

Phillip Alder fense. South is in three notrump. West leads the heart nine. Declarer wins with his king and runs the spade queen. What should East do after taking this trick with his king?

East should check the high-card points. South showed 15 to 17 points, North tabled 12, and East has eight. That leaves three to five for West. What high card might he hold?

What did East learn from West's opening lead?

A nine is always top of nothing. So, West has no points in the majors. He must have a minor-suit ace. And since the diamond ace will not be good enough to defeat the contract, East should

assume his partner has the club ace.

East should shift to the club three, the low card saying that he has honors in the suit and is trying to win tricks in this suit. West should win with his ace and return the club six, giving the defenders five tricks.

Omarr’s Daily Astrological Forecast BIRTHDAY GAL: Actress Lorraine Nicholson was born in Los Angeles on today in 1990. Nicholson has appeared in such films as "The Cottage," "Soul Surfer" and "World's Greatest Dad." She is the daughter of actors Jack Nicholson and Rebecca Broussard. Her first film role was a small part alongside her famous father in 2003's "Something's Gotta Give."

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can have your head in the clouds while your feet are planted firmly on the ground. Your can-do spirit can ignite a fire within others to follow your lead; your leadership can inspire others to greatness.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Ambitions can collide

with cooperation. The people you deal with might equivocate about opinions or unexpectedly question your loyalties. Those in close connection have romance in mind.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Leave things better than you found them. You shouldn't take things for granted or overlook necessary repairs or maintenance. Even a lateral move can offer some benefits or perks that you did not expect.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The winds can fill your sails. A change of plans is not necessarily an obstacle to achieving your ambitions. There could be something stirring behind the scene that helps you come

out ahead financially.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A hunch should be followed, as it is right on the mark.

You can receive notice when performing services for others or when handling finances for yourself, but should wait for better timing for new investments.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Making money is a game that anyone can learn by practicing with board games. Keeping money demands goals, self-discipline and careful due diligence.

Avoid get-rich-quick schemes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.22): Bite your tongue. Someone merely wants to bait you into an argument that you can't win. Don't be lured in - keep your eye on the long-

Jeraldine Saunders term view and let temporary frustrations go.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Use a passion for perfection sparsely. Make a favorable impression in business with an arm's-length transaction and achieve deeper intimacy with a favorite someone by being a handson participant.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): "E" is for "effort."

Even if the odds seem to be against you, take a stab at a new hobby or pastime. A penchant for using ingenious new methods or techniques could earn you an "A" for "aptitude."

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): When you have performed a job well, you expect to enjoy both recognition and compensa-

tion. Don't be too surprised if your efforts are rewarded by more responsibilities and more work.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When someone gives you a gift, be sure to show that you are grateful. It may only be a gift that seems insignificant. It might not seem like much to you, but it might be all the person has to give.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Make your move. On the chessboard of life, pawns do not merit the same respect as a knight that can move in several directions. Overcome obstacles and avoid problems with charm and know-how.

IF APRIL 16 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Ambitions may interfere with your

spiritual growth during the next few weeks, so put them on the back burner. Take advantage of advantageous stars and divine guidance in May. That is a good time to launch key projects, ask for favors or improve your life by accepting an offer or an opportunity. Remember that whatever knocks on your door during those weeks might not be what you want, but will surely be what you need. Over the summer settle down to a pleasurable grove that might be less exciting, but promises more stability.

Early October is an ideal time to enjoy a vacation or to realize one of your fantasies, for example booking a weekend at a spa.

Saturday spring tennis

SJHS swimmers 2nd at Jr. High Championships FROM STAFF REPORTS

THE SHERIDAN PRESS | BRAD ESTES

Tristan Gamble returns a shot Saturday morning on the SHS tennis courts. While spring tennis isn’t an official WHSAA sport, Sheridan high school and junior high school athletes played against athletes from Cody and Gillette all day Saturday, with 50 players in all packing courts both at the high school and at Thorne Rider Park.

Kyle Busch gets NASCAR weekend sweep at Texas FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Kyle Busch was just trying to maintain the pace behind Martin Truex Jr. while waiting for his chance.

The No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing team pounced when the yellow flag came out with 21 laps to go at Texas Motor Speedway.

Busch finally regained the lead on pit road during that caution then held on for the final 16 laps after the last restart Saturday night in the Sprint Cup race, completing a NASCAR weekend sweep.

“As soon as that caution came, my boys stepped up the plate and hit a grand slam,” said Busch, who got his 26th career cup win in his 300th start.

After following Truex lap after lap, Busch came off pit road first and charged forward his Toyota forward in a strong restart.

It was the second time this season, and a NASCAR-record seventh time in his career, that Busch won Cup and Nationwide races in the same weekend. He was the polesitter Saturday night, and won the Nationwide race Friday night on the 1½-mile, highbanked track.

Busch, who also won both races at Fontana last month, led eight times for 171 of 334 laps. He is the first driver to win in all three series at Texas, with six Nationwide wins and two in trucks.

“To be in Victory Lane in Texas, there’s nothing better,” Busch said. “If it wasn’t for my pit crew, which is the most awesome group ever. ... Man, those guys were just awesome. They put together a heck of a stop to give us that lead. These cars are amazing to drive. They’re fast. They’re fun.”

Truex was trying to win for the first time since June 2007, but his winless streak reached 210 races when he finished a half-second behind Busch.

Truex came into the race 25th in points with no laps led this season, but had his Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota in front for 142 laps at Texas.

“Debris huh????” Truex tweeted about the caution that cost him the lead.

Truex had more than a 4-second lead over Busch soon before pulling in

Medical examiner says man shot self at NASCAR race FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — A medical examiner says a man who died in the infield during a NASCAR race at Texas Motor Speedway shot himself in the head.

The Tarrant County medical examiner’s office on Sunday said the death of 42-year-old Kirk Franklin of Saginaw was a suicide.

Fort Worth police have said a man who was camping in the infield died of a “self-inflicted injury” after getting into an argument with other campers.

The incident happened late in the Sprint Cup race.

Police spokeswoman Cpl. Tracey Knight has said alcohol may have been a factor. Knight said several people witnessed the incident, but nobody was in danger.

Track spokesman Mike Zizzo says the death occurred “in or around a pickup truck” in part of the infield near the middle of the backstretch. for a green-flag stop on lap 281 just before two cars spun on the backstretch bringing out a caution. Truex had pushed back to a 1.3-second lead just before that last yellow flag that determined the race.

“The last caution came out and we got beat out of the pits, and that was the race,” Truex said. ‘It was pretty frustrating to run second again.”

NASCAR said that during a postrace inspection, it was determined that Truex’s No. 56 car was too low in the front. The series said the car would be looked at further, and the issue addressed next week.

Busch has 111 career victories in NASCAR’s three top series — 26 in Sprint Cup, 55 in Nationwide and 30 in Camping World Truck.

His weekend sweep in California last month was overshadowed by the last-lap crash in the Cup race between former teammates Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano that left Hamlin with a fractured vertebra in his lower back.

Logano barely made the start of the race after prerace inspections turned up problems. He started at the back of the field, but worked back to a fifthplace finish. Jimmie Johnson maintained his series points lead by finishing sixth, ahead of Aric Almirola.

“It was one of the toughest races I think we’ve ever dealt with and to come home with a top-five out of something like that, we couldn’t be more excited about that,” Logano said.

NASCAR confiscated the original rear-end housing parts from Logano’s No. 22 Ford and the No. 2 of Penkse Racing teammate Brad Keselowski, the defending Sprint Cup champion.

NASCAR officials said the situation will be evaluated further next week, when decisions about any penalties could be made.

Logano gave up his starting spot of 18th after being late to the starting grid while having to get additional inspections. Keselowski got on pit road in time and started 16th, and finished ninth.

In keeping with a long tradition for the winner at Texas, Busch received a cowboy hat and got to fire trophy sixshooters loaded with blanks in Victory Lane.

The title sponsor of the race was the National Rifle Association, which came at a time when the U.S. Senate weighs legislation intended to reduce gun violence in the wake of the December shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. A senator from Connecticut requested that the Fox network not broadcast the race.

Busch didn’t get a rifle or shotgun for his qualifying run Friday like the other fastest Cup qualifiers had gotten since 2005.

But track president Eddie Gossage said Saturday that was because there wasn’t a sponsor for that award this year, and not any reason other than that.

SHERIDAN — Sheridan Junior High School swimmers placed second at the Jr. High Championship Swim and Dive Meet over the weekend in Gillette.

Boys and girls teams each finished runner-up to the host Campbell County Junior High School teams.

The boys swimmers scored 432 points, trailing CCJHS’s 730, while the SJHS girls notched 219 points behind 334 for CCJHS. The boys 200 yard freestyle “A” relay team won Saturday, with a 1:54.83, ahead of CCJH “A” with a 1:54.92. The team was made up of Jacob Ahlstrom, Drew Reed, Trinton Myers, and Caleb Stacey.

Whitney Migrants won the girls 1-meter diving competition for the SJHS girls, while Kirby CoeKirkham won for the boys.

Tanikka Swope and Rebecca Bouley were fourth and fifth on the girls side.

Pippin Robison was second in the finals of the girls 200 yard freestyle. Her 2 minute 13.75 second time was behind a first place 2:11.03 from Rylie Pilon of CCJHS. Robison also finished second in the girls 50 free, her time of 31.53 trailing the winning 29.85. Teal Scheuber was fourth.

Ava Johannesmeyer, Piper Carroll and Jenna Frederickson were sixth, seventh and eighth respectively in the girls 50 free. Hannah Adriaens and Olivia Thoney were 12th and 13th.

In the boys 50 freestyle, Ahlstrom swam a 27.95 second time in the finals, which was good enough for second place. Austin Bonar of CCJH was first with a 26.80. Ahlstrom took third in the 50 backstroke, while Stacey and Myers took second and third respectively.

In the boys 50 butterfly, Reed, Meyers and Duncan Yeager were second, fourth, and seventh respectively.

Adriaens and Carroll were second and third in the girls 100 free, while Jadyn Mullikin was sixth.

Projected No. 1, Kentucky freshman center Noel will enter NBA draft LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky forward Nerlens Noel will enter the NBA draft as he continues recovering from a torn ACL. The 6-foot-10 freshman is projected to be a lottery pick despite sustaining his season-ending knee injury on Feb. 12. He led the nation with 4.4 blocks per game, and averaged 10.5 points and 9.5 rebounds.

Noel also had 50 steals for Kentucky (21-12), earning Southeastern Conference

defensive player of the year honors, along with first team all-conference and freshman team selections.

Noel said in statement released by the university that he’s loved his time with the Wildcats but feels he’s “ready to take the next step to the NBA.” Considered the nation’s top recruit last year, Noel was often compared to Kentucky All-American Anthony Davis, now in the NBA after leading the

Wildcats to a national championship as a freshman.

“I’ve learned so much here at UK and am thankful for Coach (John) Calipari, the staff and my teammates for all of their support,” Noel said. “I especially appreciate the Big Blue Nation and all of the support, prayers and well-wishes I’ve received from them during my rehab and decision-making process. I’ll always be a Wildcat!”

Noel joins Wildcats guard Archie Goodwin in the NBA draft. The two were part of another much-heralded recruiting class that included forward Alex Poythress and 7-foot center Willie Cauley-Stein, but Noel was the only player that consistently lived up to the high expectations for freshmen.

On a Kentucky squad that lacked intensity during parts of a disappointing season by Wildcats’ standards, Noel was often their

most active player on the floor. Calipari praised that effort during the season and even after the center made the widely-expected decision to leave for the pros.

“I support Nerlens’ decision to enter his name in the draft and am excited for him and his future,” Calipari said in a statement. “The hard work and will to win he showed on the floor this year and the dedication and attitude he

has shown in his rehab will only be a reward for him and whatever team drafts him in June.”

Despite Noel’s athleticism and energy that teammates fed off of after a block or timely steal, Kentucky struggled even when he was healthy. Kentucky’s chances of earning an at-large NCAA tournament bid were iffy even with Noel, and its prospects disintegrated after the devastating knee injury at Florida.
