1 SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, THE SHERIDAN PRESS C1 Things are looking up I ve written before of the fifth wall, otherwise known as the ceiling. Ceilings are often overlooked areas in our homes that could be used to liven up your decor. Some ceiling treatments lend themselves to rooms that are used only at night, like dining rooms and bedrooms. Others are chances to explore subtle effects or go all out with over the top gold leaf. Here are a few ideas: A fine shine If you live in an older home with coved ceilings or other indented or even coffered elements, think about adding some subtle shine. Super high gloss, oilbased paints offer a wide range of choices. More traditional treatments such as gold or silver leaf treatments are great for smaller areas like powder rooms for instance. If you read history you will have read of the tea paper ceilings that some homes in early colonial America had. The inner papers from tea tins were saved and used to enhance ceilings because of their SUSAN WOODY metallic finishes. Paneled ceiling In wood paneled rooms you could choose to add more paneling to the ceiling and match it to the walls. Applying wood to a ceiling adds warmth. Paneling on the walls is predictable but add it to the ceiling and it is wow. The strongest impact of a treated ceiling is its surprise factor. Wallpaper Wallpaper on a ceiling acts as a visual blanket, especially when you want a place to feel warm and cozy. Wallpaper in a small room opens the horizon of your eye, otherwise you tend to focus on what is at eye level. Pitching a tent Tenting a ceiling, something I ve only read about, adds structure to a room without the headache of building a wall. Simple fabrics used on ceilings act to cocoon a space and could look modern or classic depending on how you trim and silhouette the canopy. Think a Bedouin tent -fantasy, whimsy, or retreat. Faux painting one of the first things I did when moving into our house was to paint the ceiling of the foyer which has a double height ceiling. I added a lantern shaped hanging light to make the entrance feel special. Just this last summer I finally painted over this ceiling and am toying with the idea of painting a night sky with star constellations on it. There are beautiful examples of this treatment in books. Give some thought to adding a little ceiling interest in a few of your rooms, especially if you have a certain problem space. Painting a ceiling instantly changes the feeling of any room. It is not an easy project and takes planning and lots of patience but can be very satisfying and is a way to make your home uniquely yours. SUSAN WOODY has been a home and garden writer for more than 20 years and is a master gardener. Start new stylish traditions at the holiday dinner table BY ELAINE MARKOUTSAS UNIVERSAL UCLICK Tradition, with a hearty sense of nostalgia, guides so many of us as we get ready to entertain for the holidays. Whether it's giving thanks or sharing a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Kwanza or cheers for the New Year, the celebrations often center around the table. And just as you might tweak recipes or ingredients, adding to classical favorites, think about curating your table as well. Just a little freshening up, with an eye to what's new, can add immeasurably to the look, no matter what your style. To that end, you're likely to identify with one (or more) of several strong trends in home design that correlate to table styles. It's always fun to blend family or vintage pieces with current designs. You might want to add dishes, serving pieces or glasses. Introduce something handcrafted, whether it's with serve ware or something a child has created. It may be part of a focus on accessories or a piece to enhance the dressing of the table like a conventional centerpiece. That dress up, as with clothing, welcomes metal, much like adornment with jewelry. There are plenty of choices for tabletop from salt and pepper shakers to napkin rings, chargers or gravy boats. While gold tones are especially hot in home decor this year, silver lends its own cool luster, and copper and rose gold also offer a warm glow. Whether you opt for drama, luxury or an understated look rooted in natural elements, think about ways to make your presentation special. On Caroline Roehm's tables, you'll always find beautiful flowers. The former fashion designer, who has a passion for flowers, just released her latest book, At Home in the Garden (Potter Style). In September, she styled a magnificent table that celebrated crystal for Maison Baccarat in Paris, in three different palettes for place settings: red, green and plum all stunning on white. Bunny Williams loves the mix of vintage and new, and drew from a collection of early French china pieces for inspiration for her most recent Gold Star collection for Ballard Designs. For Christmas, she likes things sparkly, with glittered reindeer and candles, for example. We did different patterns to give it that collected look, says Williams. It's simple but a little elegant because it has the gold. But you really can use it all the time. After Christmas, you could use it with an Indian bedspread tablecloth to tone it down. Style-maker, designer and TV personality Courtney Cachet is a huge believer in ramping everything up for the holidays. When it comes to setting a fabulous table for the holidays, says Cachet, one phrase says it all: More is more. Minimalism just does not work here. Think about it. The prettiest, chic tables are always awash in color, depth, flowers, shiny objects and light. For fall tables, Cachet likes starting off with an off-white base and building on it with a mix of vintage fine porcelain. Hermes Chasse Yellow is luxurious, she says, but still unpretentious when layered with rich hued linens and crystal. Use gold flatware because it's special and everyone will have an 'oooh' moment when seated. For the unexpected, Cachet suggests mixing in an animal print, like Ralph Lauren's gorgeous leopard border on the Hutchinson porcelain, for a casual chic dessert setting. For Christmas, mix some mismatched vintage red china for an unfussy yet elegant vibe. Florals in rich reds and violets are perfect for winter holidays. Don't be afraid to mix up your dishes. French and Italian hostesses do this frequently with ease, and it's fabulous. Cachet says she's seeing a return to unabashed opulence in home decor, which naturally extends to the table. What better time to show it than during the holidays? If you have one very beautiful vase, dish or bowl, try to incorporate it onto your table. Beautiful things are useless if they aren't displayed and admired. And send paper invitations and use place cards (she designed a line for In a digital world, this still is a tradition held closely by the most chic hostesses. Here are just a few tips for setting the holiday table. Simply white. Who doesn't have white dinnerware? And if not, why not? So versatile, it can be dressed up or down, teamed with bold or pastel colors. Colors of the season. An autumnal palette draws guests to the Thanksgiving table, just like the complementary hues of squash, pumpkin, cranberries and the golden brown skin of turkey. Red and green spell Christmas, in poinsettias, candy canes, green boughs, Santas. But you don't have to be locked into only what's expected. Bring a little aubergine in with saffron and persimmon; amethyst or indigo also are vivid additions to the December table that can be very rich and elegant. One of the settings that Carolyne Roehm designed for the Baccarat Museum in Paris took a cue from plum and cream Picasso calla lilies, which she teamed with floral-patterned porcelain from Bernardaud, Baccarat crystal glassware and charming amethyst butterflies. Natural/rustic. Reclaimed Bring some artistry to the autumn table with beautiful depictions of heirloom pumpkins. The rich hues and meandering shapes on the high-fired porcelain plates were inspired by archival botanical prints. The Botanical Pumpkin dinnerware, which is microwaveable and dishwasher safe, is available at Williams-Sonoma, as are the on-trend copper chargers. wood, natural linen, greenery and pine cones complete a look that's casual and inviting. The appeal is that it's unfussy. It embraces nature. But it also can stand a touch of glamor or bling as a strong counterpoint. Artisanal. Hand-craftsmanship is so appreciated in everything for the home. So handpainted dinnerware depicting pumpkins and vegetables really is appreciated, especially with seasonal imagery. Layering. It's especially fun to mix plates and their surrounding elements, and you can totally change up the style by COURTESY PHOTO UNIVERSAL UCLICK Layering at its best: Silly Stag appetizer plates atop Buffalo plaid salad plates teamed with Alpine red toile reindeers and white dinnerware, with wood chargers over faux fur place mats create a sporty table that's surprisingly sophisticated at Pottery Barn. doing so. A place mat of woven rattan or ruby beads might be teamed with a gold or silver charger, then a creamy white dinner plate, and topped with a shimmery metallic glass or patterned salad plate. Seasonal shapes. Iconic symbols like turkeys, pumpkins, Santas, reindeer, angels and nutcrackers have risen above kitsch because many now are artist-drawn. Some have the look of vintage postcards, others possess a more modern vibe, and still others are so graphic, often with an image embedded in the design. Finding the perfect Christmas tree for your home Recently Wyoming had the privilege of having the U.S. Capitol Christmas tree come through our state. This tree came all the way from Alaska and in 2010 the U.S. Capitol tree came from Wyoming. Since 1989 the species chosen most often was an Engelmann Spruce, which is what Wyoming sent to Washington, D.C. This time of the year people are starting to look for Christmas trees. There are many options such as the variety of fresh cut trees or artificial trees. One other alternative is a live Christmas tree. If you consider this SCOTT HININGER option, there are some definite things to keep in mind. First, there is the selection of the tree. Look for a well-shaped evergreen tree not too large. The tree needs to be placed for several days in the garage, shop or covered deck to acclimate it to warmer temperatures. Then an anti-transpirant spray should be put on the tree. This will keep the tree from transpiring or giving off too much moisture and drying out while in the house. This is the same spay which can be sprayed on newly planted trees especially evergreens to keep them from drying out especially that first winter. When you bring the tree into the house, you can treat it the same way you do a cut tree. When you water the tree, you can use ice cubes, which will help cool the roots. It would be best to limit the time in the house to not much more than a week or two. Then the same procedure should be followed as before by placing the tree in the garage or shop for several days to acclimate it to the cooler temperatures. When placing the tree outside it would be best if the hole has already been dug and covered with leaves or a tarp. Plant the tree as at any other time, making sure to water the tree. This is assuming the ground has not completely frozen and the day you pick is not too cold. If this does not work out, then the tree can be placed outside and you can mulch the base with leaves, bark, compost or woodchips. This will help protect the roots from the freezing and thawing of winter. Make sure you check the tree from time to time and when the temperature is above freezing, give it a good drink of water. Then in the spring, you can transplant the tree out in the yard. This way, over the years, not only do you get to celebrate Christmas with a live tree but also add to the landscape and remember Christmases past. Another option is to use a houseplant for decorating at Christmas time. This works really well for people who may have limited space, such as apartments. One that I used when in college was a Norfolk Island pine. This evergreen looking plant will decorate quite nicely and can be fairly large. The biggest drawback is the branches are not very strong so most ornaments and lights will not work but the small lights and ornaments will work very well. These types of houseplants will also work as a way to decorate other rooms of a house or business. You could use most any houseplant to decorate with lights or ornaments. The other type of houseplant used to decorate most often is the Poinsettia. What I like most about using colorful houseplants is they last a lot longer than cut flowers, so you get to enjoy them a lot longer. The other nice thing about this would be they could be given for gifts or after the holidays they could be given to a nursing home, senior center, hospital or other places where joy could be spread.

2 SENIOR C2 THE SHERIDAN PRESS SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2015 A new page for a caregiver BY LOIS BELL SHERIDAN SENIOR CENTER SHERIDAN For the longest time, granny was my life. Everything I did revolved around her, said Tatiana Hom. Hom was a caregiver to the granny who raised her as a daughter. For many of Hom s teenage years, her granny Julester Grant suffered from Alzheimer s dementia, a decline in her mental ability that took a toll on Grant over a period of years. Hom wanted to care for the woman who loved her; she stepped into the role of caregiver early in life. The journey was arduous. There were moments of fear that Grant would flee and days when Hom was exhausted. Hom s family who supported her lived states away. As Grant s dementia progressed, Hom s caregiving duties intensified. She lost strength to where she couldn t stand up or even hold onto a (support) bar, Hom said. Hom s daily routine changed to where she bathed and dressed her granny after waking her every morning while she was in bed. Hom would then lift her into her wheelchair to brush her hair for the day. Breakfast in the living room followed. She couldn t eat. I had to puree her food, Hom said. It got to a point where she couldn t hold a spoon or fork so I would have to feed her. I would make something soft for her like cereal or oatmeal that she wouldn t have to chew. The routine would repeat through the day for lunch and dinner interspersed with Hom moving her thin and frail granny in her wheelchair to avoid sores developing on her pressure points. Help from Sheridan Memorial Home Care and the Sheridan Senior Center was a blessing in an intense daily routine. Yet, there were still special moments between the granddaughter and her granny. Even when she couldn t talk much, she would smile at me as if to say thank you. I knew she was still in there. It was hard and I knew it was hard for her, Hom said. Grant died April 13, The transition was difficult. I was so stuck in that schedule, Hom said. I found myself constantly thinking of her. When I was in a store, I thought, that would be nice for granny. I would look in her room to check on her. It was like that for several months. I didn t know what to do with myself. I was lost. Hom took a trip to spend a month with an aunt and cousin on the coast. They helped me destress, Hom said. I hadn t been able to get away or go anywhere. Hom returned to Sheridan and began working, something she had not been able to do with a caregiver s schedule. Hom s boyfriend told her about a job opening at the Senior Center; he encouraged her that she would be good at the job. Hom applied and was hired for the Senior Center s Help at Home program. Hom began to discover a new page for her life. She remembers her granny with tenderness. Recently I was re-decorating and came across the article about me and my granny. It made me sad. It made me realize how much I miss her. I wish she could come back if only for a day, come back the way she was. But I was glad that I was there for her when she really needed me. Hom is approaching a new phase of life with optimism. I feel so excited for the future, Hom said. I feel that I can do anything. I want to go everywhere and do everything. Hom wants to travel. One place she would like to visit is New York City. I want to shop and eat and see everything, said Hom of the prospect. Being with granny really taught me some things, Hom said. She taught me about patience. It taught me to appreciate the little things in life like when she would have those moments of clarity and say thank you, or when we could have a small conversation. I would appreciate those moments even more. What advice does she have for other caregivers? Talk to someone about it, said Hom. Vent and talk and have time for yourself. I didn t have time for myself and it just wore me out. But after recuperating and tears I came to peace. COURTESY PHOTO One of the emerging group of young caregivers, Tatiana Hom is discovering a new page to her life after caring for her beloved granny Julester Grant for years. Grant struggled with the debilitating progression of Alzheimer s dementia. CENTER STAGE Supports for caregivers of all ages In the United States more than 60 million caregivers provide assistance to family, friends and neighbors. November is National Family Caregiver month but these devoted caregivers provide care every day, not just during the month that honors them. November is also the month that we celebrate the brave men and women who have served and are currently serving in our country. Many caregivers are caring and offering support to our veterans. Some caregivers continue to work full-time jobs and are raising children of their own while providing care to their loved ones. While caregiving can be rewarding it can also be very stressful. This is where all of us can step in and be supportive to caregivers. It is quite often that caregivers try to go at this alone and have a hard time asking for or accepting help. Or is it STELLA MONTANO that caregivers may not always know where to go to ask for support? I d like to share some of the supports that we have at the Senior Center. I ll start with the Family Caregiver Program, where we provide caregivers with support such as respite in the home or in our Adult Day Break Program onsite at the Senior Center. Support groups are offered weekly to caregivers where training and the support of one another lets them know they are not alone. The Caregiver Resource Library offers support with book and training videos that can be checked out. Maybe a home-delivered meal for the caregiver and their loved one would take off some of the stress of preparing three meals a day or lunch at the Senior Center for some socialization could be a welcome break. The mini bus is a great way to get you and your loved one to appointments without the worry of driving in bad weather or finding parking. The caregiver (as escort) rides at no charge and did you know that there are organizations that pay for your ride? We have an amazing loan closet that offers adaptive equipment. Check with us before purchasing something that you may only need for a short time. Our Help at Home program also offers support. Our certified nursing assistants are overseen by two registered nurses for personal care. If homemaking is all that is needed, we provide that as well. There are other programs that can help support a caregiver in their difficult roles. Other resources outside the Senior Center are also available. Wyoming Independent Living and Life Link of Sheridan County are two that are a valuable resource for caregivers. Most recently, the Senior Center s Family Caregiver Program has added a new component to support caregivers. It is called Grandparents Raising Grandchildren. Grandparents and sometimes great-grandparents are raising a grandchild. I invite any grandparent raising a grandchild to visit with me about how we can support you. You can reach me at Not only this month, but every month, let us be of support to you and your loved one. Don t try this alone. Ask for and accept support from family and friends and the programs that can help you be the best caregiver you can be. The theme for National Caregiver Month is respite. Respite is not a luxury, it s a necessity for caregivers to maintain their own physical, mental and emotional health. For those who Facebook, the Senior Center s Facebook page this month is offering periodic encouragement to caregivers to seek respite and the benefits of respite. A couple weeks ago at one of the caregiver support groups, I asked a caregiver how he was doing and with a big smile his reply was I used to go into my mom s room to check on her, now I go in to hang out with her! That I say is a result of accepting help! STELLA MONTANO is the director of Family Caregiver Services at the Sheridan Senior Center. Center Stage is written by friends of the Senior Center for the Sheridan Community. It is a collection of insights and stories related to living well at every age. SENIOR CENTER HAPPENINGS The Senior Center is serving a traditional Thanksgiving dinner at 211 Smith St. from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day.

3 YOUTH SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, THE SHERIDAN PRESS C3 App created by former SHS teacher connects colleges to students Cheering on the home team JUSTIN SHEELY THE SHERIDAN PRESS Nine-year-old Trayson Hastings watches the action during the 4A State Championship on Nov. 14 at the War Memorial Stadium in Laramie. The Broncs defeated Gillette Colorado college students in Paris safe DENVER (AP) Fifteen college students from Colorado in Paris studying abroad have been accounted for and all are safe. University of Colorado- Boulder spokesman Ryan Huff says five CU-Boulder students in Paris confirmed they were safe following the deadly terrorist attacks Friday evening. University of Denver spokeswoman Theresa Ahrens tells KMGH-TV in Denver that six students in Paris were also accounted for, as well as 29 others scattered across France. Colorado State University officials say four of their students were also accounted for, and a spokeswoman for Colorado College says all of their students are also safe. BY MADDI RAYMOND SHERIDAN HIGH SCHOOL SHERIDAN ZeeMee, founded by Juan Jaysingh and Adam Metcalf, a former Sheridan High School teacher, is a free online profile that showcases a student s hobbies, skills and accomplishments to colleges so that they may get a better view of the student beyond statistics and test scores. The site also connects students with college representatives. SHS senior Cheyenne Buyert had the opportunity to represent the company and travel with the ZeeMee team to New York on Sept to be a part of Fox News Channel s morning show Fox & Friends. The purpose of the trip was to promote ZeeMee, attend business meetings and form connections. It was so cool to be in the studios and meet the Fox & Friends reporters, Buyert said. Of the many highlights of the trip, Buyert explained that having lunch with the biggest financial investor in Russia and touring the city were among some of the best parts. Buyert plans to attend Princeton University for dance after high school and feels that working with ZeeMee has and will continue to assist her in achieving her goal. Buyert said a lot of colleges have acknowledged her ZeeMee profile and it is definitely worth creating an account. ZeeMee has opened a wide variety of opportunities for this senior, from employment (she was offered a job with the company and will work with them in California this summer) to providing an array of skills including communication and professionalism that will help her in her future. Of the entire ZeeMee experience, Buyert says, I loved it. The whole team is amazing and they totally spoiled me. I m so grateful for these opportunities! Not only is ZeeMee a tool to use for applying to colleges, it can also be included on job applications. Because ZeeMee shows who someone is as an individual rather than just a student, it proves to be very versatile in its uses. Buyert said she will be using her ZeeMee page as a resume in the future as well. This website is a resource for students of all ages and grade levels. Mark Zuckerberg on philanthropy: Move slow and build things SAN FRANCISCO (AP) After making their fortunes from new software or social networks, some Silicon Valley entrepreneurs have vowed to apply their skills to hacking philanthropy and disrupting old models for funding charity. Not so Facebook CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, who isn t afraid to take a more conventional approach to giving. Local officials will gather in San Francisco this weekend to dedicate a new public hospital building, furnished and equipped in part by a $75 million gift from Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan, a pediatrician who did medical training at the old San Francisco General Hospital now to be known as the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital. The 31-year-old social media mogul, worth an estimated $46 billion, made waves with his earlier forays in philanthropy in particular, a controversial $100 million donation to public schools in Newark, New Jersey. This time, though, Zuckerberg and Chan made a comparatively traditional donation that funded the purchase of cutting-edge equipment for treating some of San Francisco s poorest residents. It s not exactly Move fast and break things, Facebook s early slogan. I d say that we re trying to help people rather than disrupt philanthropy, Zuckerberg said in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press. Just like anything else you want to do well, investing in social-good projects takes practice, he added. This is the reason why we re starting when we re young. The couple has transferred billions of dollars in Facebook stock to a nonprofit community foundation that helps them dole out the funds. Zuckerberg said the gift to the San Francisco hospital, which serves many poor and minority patients, meets the couple s goals of unlocking human potential and promoting equality. But it s also clear that the donation stems partly from personal reasons, particularly for Chan, 30. The hospital has been a critical part of my development as a person and as a physician, she said in an interview, explaining that she chose to do her residency there because it offers special training in treating underprivileged children and families. A spokesman said the renovated hospital is San Francisco s only trauma center and the primary provider for residents who are uninsured and can t pay for medical treatment. It serves more than 100,000 patients a year. This is the people s hospital, said Dr. Jim Marks, the hospital s chief of staff. Officials said the couple s gift, the largest in the hospital s history, helped furnish and equip the hospital s new, nine-story main building, after construction was financed by an $887 million public bond measure. The old building, built in the early 1970s, will become an outpatient center. Charity experts say Zuckerberg and Chan are among a new wave of billionaires, including tech figures like Napster cofounder Sean Parker and Google s Sergey Brin, who started giving away large sums in their 20s and 30s, rather than waiting until they are older. Critics of Zuckerberg s first big donation, at age 26, say too much of his gift to Newark schools went to high-priced consultants and outsiders who failed to improve local classrooms. Zuckerberg defends the effort, citing recent statistics that show improving graduation rates. But he said the experience taught him that we need to engage with and learn from the community. Last year, Zuckerberg and Chan announced they would give $120 million to public and charter schools closer to home in the San Francisco Bay Area. Instead of attempting to overhaul an entire school district, they are doling the money out to smaller programs that provide teacher training, classroom technology and attempts to develop more personalized instruction for individual students. Separately, Chan is launching a private grade school in the low-income city of East Palo Alto. It will offer free tuition and work with a local clinic to address student health needs and related problems. Chan said she hopes to develop a model other schools can follow. That s version 2.0 of their education efforts, Zuckerberg said. We ll make mistakes again, he added, and learn.

It took my breath away when Islamic terrorists murdered unsuspecting people in Europe s most charming city. Even though Sheridan is as far away from France as one could imagine, I realize that the ISIS attack was aimed against all of us, there in Paris and here in Sheridan. My first response included sadness, anger, outrage, grief and a certain sense of helplessness. Could this be the beginning of a worldwide collapse? Then, I remembered the amazing things I was privileged to witness over the past two weeks. Hope overcame my fear. A group of 27 people from Sheridan FALK ALICKE had traveled to the Amazon River in Brazil in order to share Christ s love. I witnessed people of all ages singing and praising God together, sharing meals together, caring for the sick people on the Amazon River together, doing dental work, conducting clinics to teach young mothers and midwives basic lessons on personal hygiene, kicking a soccer ball with locals, painting buildings, pouring concrete for a new church and simply living life together. Our common human nature served as a bridge between us Americans and the river people. We shared stories about life, hunting, and fishing. We laughed and we cried together. One particular village stood out on our trip. Together with our partners from a Presbyterian Church in Brazil we were invited to a village that had never before heard the gospel of Jesus Christ. Upon our visit, their sick where healed, vision restored and people believed. As a result, the village chief urged us to return in the future in order to build a church by the name of Sheridan in their town and make their village a regular ministry stop. Paralleling the Brazil trip, a second group had gone down to Juarez in Mexico. They built a brand-new home for a Mexican family in Juarez. The mother and her dad were so touched, they accepted the gospel of Jesus Christ with tears in their eyes, struggling to comprehend why people from another country would come to build them a house and give them a Bible. I am hopeful about tomorrow despite the events in Paris because our struggle is not against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12). I am reminded that my anger must not be directed against ISIS fighters, but against the lies that turn men into murderers. No act of terrorism and no machine gun can destroy the Good News about Jesus Christ; Where God s word is preached in truth, life begins. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I (Jesus) have come so that they may have life, and may have it abundantly (John 10:10).

5 PEOPLE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, THE SHERIDAN PRESS C5 Hospital to host hospice training in December FROM STAFF REPORTS SHERIDAN Sheridan Memorial Hospital s Hospice of the Big Horns will have a volunteer training beginning in December. The training will consist of four sessions, which will extend into January Volunteers have flexible hours and can participate in various ways: helping out in homes, in the hospice office or at various activities throughout the year. Topics will include the history and philosophy of hospice; the role of the hospice team; being a healthy caregiver; developing good listening skills; how to be present and companioning the dying and the bereaved; the role of spirituality in hospice; good body mechanics and safe transfers; blood borne pathogens and pain control; signs and symptoms of approaching death; and confidentiality and family dynamics. Participants will also learn about the aspects of grief, bereavement and helpful things to say to those who are bereaved. Volunteer training is a screening process for both the participant and hospice to see if they are a good fit with the final decision being made at the completion of training. Volunteers provide respite in hospice homes so that caregivers can take a break, rest or run errands for up to six hours a week. Hospice works around volunteer schedules and the needs of the hospice home.

Chamber joins Barn in Big Horn in celebrating grand opening COURTESY PHOTO Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce ambassadors recently helped the owners of the Barn in Big Horn celebrate their grand opening.

Fort Phil Kearny to host annual Kids Pheasant Hunt FROM STAFF REPORTS SHERIDAN Fort Phil Kearny State Historic Site will host the fourth annual Kids Pheasant Hunt on Nov The event is an opportunity for families and friends wanting to hunt with young people ages 17 and younger to harvest pheasants, practice safe hunting skills and enjoy the Piney Creek landscape at the historic fort grounds. Hunters will launch at two times during each day: 8:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. in the afternoon. All parties must include a minimum of one youth hunter and a maximum of one adult hunter. Additional adults are encouraged to accompany the party but will not be allowed to hunt. The event is an opportunity for adults to demonstrate good hunting practices while making the youth experience a priority. The fort grounds are an incredibly unique place to hunt, Fort Phil Kearny Superintendent Misty Stoll said. The natural beauty of the landscape mixed with the rich history of the area makes the Kids Hunt an exciting opportunity for hunters of all ages. The event is part of the Wyoming State Parks Kids extreme mission, which encourages youth and families to explore Wyoming s cultural and natural resources. Hunters wishing to participate in the Kids Hunt are encouraged to stop by the Fort Phil Kearny Interpretive Center during visiting hours, Wednesday through Sunday noon to 4 p.m., to sign up and receive further directions regarding the event. Space is limited on hunts. If visiting the site is not an option call to make arrangements. If space allows, participants can sign up on the day of the hunt, but are not guaranteed access. Those wishing to register on the day of the hunt should arrive at 8 a.m. to register for the morning hunt and 12:30 p.m. for the afternoon hunt. All hunters must have valid licenses and conservation stamps. Cost is $2 per adult for Wyoming residents and $4 per adult for out-of-state hunters. Hunters ages 17 and younger will hunt free. The annual Fort Phil Kearny Kids Hunt is made possible by a partnership with Wyoming Game and Fish Department. Fort Phil Kearny State History Site is located at 528 Wagon Box Rd in Banner.
