1 SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, THE SHERIDAN PRESS C1 Tips for working with wallpaper Ilearned to hang wallpaper about 30 years ago while watching a friend hang paper for another friend. Then I had a refresher course several years later when I asked a pro to help me hang paper in my dining room. Small rooms are not a big deal but larger rooms can be a real pain. So few walls SUSAN WOODY and doorways are square. I am intrigued by the new paper that has a textured surface instead of pattern though. I like the durability of paper but the ease of paint. Here is a list of tips for working with wallpaper for the do-it-yourselfer. Pick a pattern that is appropriate for the space you are decorating. A big pattern won t work in tiny spaces above or below cabinets. Conversely, a dining room has nothing but wall, so choose a large pattern. Use strong patterns that are used only briefly during the day-like a powder room or a dining room. Consider papering the ceiling too in small powder rooms. Wallpaper is durable, which is one of the reasons it is universally used in halls and baths of hotels. The material lasts much longer than paint. Some wallcoverings are also scrubbable. In most planned developments, builders spray a textured plaster finish over interior drywall, creating nubby surfaces that can mar the look of floral wallpapers. Instead, try textured wallcoverings with abstract patterns. Experiment with borders if you are wary of committing to papering an entire room. Borders are narrow widths of decorative paper. Versatile, they can be hung at the top of walls, around windows or above kitchen counters. Before hanging wallcoverings, coat your walls with a wallpaper primer, using a brush or roller. It will need to dry two to three hours. Not only does it allow you to slip your material into position, it also helps the paper adhere to the wall and makes it easier to remove when redecorating. Measure correctly. Take the width and height of your walls to a professional so they can determine how much paper you need. Use proper tools. Don t dip the prepasted wallpaper in your bathtub. Instead use a wallpaper tray in the area where you are working, so you don t get paste on the carpeting. Inspect the rolls before you hang the paper. If there is a flaw you want to know that before the paper is stuck to your wall. Start simple. If you have never used wallpaper before, start with an easy project, like a closet or bedroom, to learn the techniques. SUSAN WOODY has been a home and garden writer for more than 20 years and is a master gardener. Going with the grain Ornamental grains are terrific in combination with annuals, perennials, shrubs BY MARTY ROSS UNIVERSAL UCLICK There's a reason why farmers not gardeners are the great producers of wheat, oats, barley, and other major grains: These are challenging crops to manage. But other interesting and beautiful grains are easy to grow in your own backyard, and they put dash and drama in among the daisies. Growing ornamental grains is richly rewarding. Easy garden grains, such as millet and amaranth, are striking plants by themselves, and they are terrific in combination with annual and perennial flowers and shrubs. Garden designers love grains for their brashness: They tend to stand up tall in a garden, making them a great choice for the back of a flower bed or the center of a bed you can see from all sides. Tall varieties of millet and amaranth sun-loving annuals that are easy to grow from seed will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with canna lilies or tall sunflowers. The dark foliage of Purple Majesty millet, which grows up to five feet tall in the garden, makes a striking backdrop for smaller summer flowers, and its dramatic flower spikes, which resemble cattails, are as handsome in flower arrangements as they are in the garden. Purple Majesty comes straight off the farm: It was discovered in the course of a breeding program for forage grains at the University of Nebraska. The breeder's background and the majority of his work "is feeding the world, not providing ornamental flowers," says Mary O'Connor, a product manager for Pan American Seed who now works with the university's experts on ornamental millet. The instant popularity of Purple Majesty led to the introduction of shorter ornamental millets and to a greater range of colors, O'Connor says. Jester grows to only 3 feet tall; another small millet, Jade Princess, is only about 2 feet tall and has dense purple flower spikes that stand out against chartreuse foliage. Ornamental grains of all kinds have especially caught on with flower farmers, who supply bouquets by the bucketful for farmers' markets and have a growing influence with florists and event planners. "Demand for ornamental grains and grasses is strong in the floral design world," says Debra Prinzing, author of "The 50-Mile Bouquet" and "Slow Flowers," which both feature the specialty blooms of flower farmers around the country. Ornamental grains are "not really a product that the huge South American exporters take the time to grow," Prinzing says, and consequently, U.S. flower farmers have turned several ornamental grains into top sellers. Prinzing calls ornamental grains "the couture category of specialty floral." Diane Szukovathy, owner of Jello Mold Farm in Mount Vernon, Washington, grows about 150 different cut-flower varieties on her 7-acre farm, including half an acre planted with 10 different kinds of amaranth, another traditional farm crop that is worthy of a spot in the garden and easy to grow. "We are botanical freaks," Szukovathy says, explaining her interest in ornamental grains. She has also experimented with wheats especially a showy variety called Silver Tips and has grown orach, sorghum, quinoa and millet, as well. Cut-flower trends are always changing, The value of trees in our community SCOTT HININGER Szukovathy says, but the wildflower look is a perennial favorite with brides for bouquets and wedding decorations. Ornamental grains fit nicely into the niche, she says: They give bouquets and centerpieces an earthy sophistication. Amaranth has been grown as an ornamental for generations. It is "an old-timey garden plant; it touches the heartstrings of a lot of people," says Mary Garcia, a spokesperson for Swallowtail Garden Seeds, a mail-order seed company that offers 10 different There are more than 60 million trees in the United States that line public streets, which have a value of more than $30 billion and a potential value of $80 billion if properly cared for. In Wyoming, inventories conducted on approximately 108,000 public trees had a value of more than $115 million and this inventory was not complete for the whole state. There are many economic and social benefits from having trees in our community. Property values can be up to 30 percent higher in areas with well cared for trees compared with similar areas with no trees. Surveys in eastern U.S. home sales indicated home values were 3.5 percent to 4.5 precent higher for having trees in the front yard. In Wyoming we appreciate having trees, and many times they can be a selling point for property, and these percentages are probably higher for us. Trees can be a part of a city's infrastructure, and if properly planted and cared for will appreciate over time. Incorrect pruning, such as topping, can lower the value of the trees by as much as 90 percent. A lot has to do with selecting the right tree for the right location, and I feel a native type tree will require less maintenance, water and have less disease and insect problems. It is encouraging to see many cities and communities around Wyoming committing finances and resources to plant and maintain trees, a benefit of a community being a tree city USA designee. The more local residents work with local government this will help ensure the long-term benefits of tree planting and enhancing our communities. Not only will this lead to increased economic values for property owners but to show pride of the community, and it will show people who visit our communities the local personality or theme. The other aspect of planting trees is proper planning. One of the issues I have been trying to work on is diversity of our landscaping. The University of Wyoming has also been working on this issue across the state. When the Dutch elm disease went through the U.S. and wiped out most all of the American Elm trees, this wiped out a large portion of trees which had been planted in large numbers in most communities. We are seeing something similar with the emerald ash borer. So a goal would be to try and plant as many different species or varieties as we can to avoid having an insect or disease kinds of amaranth seeds. The old-fashioned amaranth called Love-Lies- Bleeding is one of the showiest, and it's easy to grow in the garden or in pots. One of the most popular amaranth varieties is Hot Biscuits, a tall plant with tawny-gold seed heads in fall. The heavy seed clusters are dramatic in a garden and gorgeous in a bouquet. Last year, the lifestyle and garden shop Terrain in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, gave Hot Biscuits a prominent spot in a flower bed featuring orange, crimson and gold flowers, foliage, and seed heads. If you're interested in cultivating a crop of wheat, barley or oats for bouquets, the best place to plant them might be in a row in the vegetable garden, where you can give them the special care they need. But go ahead and make room for millet and amaranth varieties in flower beds or in a big pot. They'll sparkle in the garden and turn bouquets into works of art. outbreak come through our communities and cause either a widespread loss or a financial hardship on treating the problem. A rule of thumb is to try and not have more than 10 percent of anyone species planted in a community. This would also translate into what percent of trees you would be willing or able to replant every 10 years. Not only do we need to be concerned with the type of trees we plant but also the age of the trees in the community. Many times a community that has not been replacing trees will end up with a mature forest of trees and when those trees start to die and need to be replaced it really changes the look of the community. We should be continuously planting trees and replacing trees on a schedule so we have different ages and maturity of trees in our community. We can still have areas that can be defined by a single species or age of trees but we need to know the downside of this. We started an arboretum in Sheridan two years ago to highlight more than 25 different types of trees which should do well in Wyoming. There are several of these arboretums around Wyoming and I would encourage people to visit one of these to see the many possibilities that are available. SCOTT HININGER is with the Sheridan County Extension office. COURTESY PHOTO UNIVERSAL UCLICK Jade Princess millet has lime-green leaves and a mounded shape.

2 C2 Senior 0207.qxp_A Section Template 2/5/15 8:38 AM Page 1 SENIOR C2 THE SHERIDAN PRESS SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2015 Calm your mind, renew yourself through yoga COURTESY PHOTO Mother and daughter, Fran Coombs and Jaime McLean do yoga to increase posture and flexibility at the weekly Yoga Co-op class on Thursday evenings at the Senior Center. The Thursday evening class ends with Yoga Nidra, a deep yoga sleep. FROM THE SHERIDAN SENIOR CENTER SHERIDAN Yoga is an ancient discipline, experiencing a renewal today around our country. It involves moving your body into various positions called postures. The classical point of yoga and its posture is to get your body out of the way so as to calm your mind. If one were to peruse the Senior Center s quarterly Center Stage newsletter activities, you would come across Yoga Co-op on Thursday nights at the Center. Yoga Co-Op? What is that? It began as Creaky Yoga, yoga teacher Lynn Gordon said. Originally led by Gordon, when she took a year s leave from teaching, faithful class participants took over, sharing the leadership in guiding the class. The name transformed to Yoga Co-Op this fall to reflect group ownership and facilitation of the class. Several of the participants in the weekly co-op came because of friends who invited them. Some participants come for other reasons. There are various forms of yoga. Yoga Co-Op is Hatha yoga, the most traditional form of yoga practiced today. Besides doing postures to increase flexibility, strength and balance, the class ends with Yoga Nidra, deep yogic sleep, the state between awake and sleep. The students really come for Yoga Nidra, but have to get through the exercise part to get there, Gordon said. Yoga Nidra is really relaxing and finishes the class well. Gordon is a registered yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance, the certifying agency for yoga teachers. I began yoga 14 years ago when a relative had cancer, said yoga participant, Val Burgess, who began yoga when living in Seattle. The yoga was part of their healing process. Burgess attends the class with her husband, Jerry. Outside of the class, Burgess couples Yoga Nidra along with using the techniques to stretch after her early-morning walking regimen. One of the class members shared a story about an attendee with Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare disorder where the body s immune system attacks the peripheral nervous system. The attendee had been on a respirator for more than seven months. Two years later she started attending yoga. After coming to the yoga class, she increased her height by half an inch because she strengthened the muscles around the spine. But you don t need to be ill to reap benefits from yoga. Yoga can be integrated into a healthy lifestyle that keeps you moving and is a discipline for any age. Yoga Nidra takes you to the verge of sleep. Thirty minutes of Yoga Nidra has been shown to equal two hours of sleep. Lynn Gordon Yoga teacher After I started the class, the different techniques help me sleep better, yoga participant Fran Combs said. Combs is a great-grandmother who attends the class with her daughter, Jami McLean. Both seniors and those younger attend the class. The yoga is gentle enough that both of us go, McLean said. The word yoga may evoke mental images of yogis striking unnatural poses. In the Yoga Co-Op class, participants begin with poses with names such Knocking on Heaven s Gate and cat-cow. As colorful as these names are, the poses are gentle stretches and can be adapted to those who may be chair bound who seek the benefits of yoga. I wouldn t say my days are stressful, Deb Hanson said. But I would say they are hectic. I like the relaxation. Amanda Burton uses the Yoga Co-Op as her time. She began the class years earlier with her mother and kept going. While her teens are at after-school activities or at the library, Burton uses the time for herself. It s very relaxing, Burton said. Yoga Nidra takes you to the verge of sleep, Gordon said. Thirty minutes of Yoga Nidra has been shown to equal two hours of sleep. In a hectic day, that is one benefit that can be appealing to many. Interested in learning more about yoga classes at the Sheridan Senior Center? Call CENTER STAGE Money was tight when I was a kid Money was scarce when I was a youth. Only one of my friends received an allowance for spending money. I believe that he was given 20 cents a week to spend. Our country was still in the depth of the Great Depression and times were tough. One dollar seemed as large as a harvest moon! Many men were willing to work for their room and board rather than going hungry. Granddad usually BOB HUFF had three or four men working for him on his ranch. He paid the men $30 a month plus room and board. The men stood in line to work for him. There was a story about one man that went to work for his board. So the story goes that the man lost his appetite while working for his board. One source of spending money was finding and turning empty beer and pop bottles into cash. The Western Bar paid one cent for beer bottles and two cents for pop bottles. If you were lucky enough to find what they called a picnic beer bottle, they paid ten cents for a picnic bottle. A picnic beer bottle held about a half gallon of beer. It was sealed with a rubber gasket and a metal clamp. The bottle could be sealed for drinking later. There were not any litter laws back then. Many of the beer and pop drinkers gave their empty bottles a toss when they were motoring on the highway. I had a burlap sack that I fastened on the handle bars of my bicycle. About once a month, I would ride about five miles east and west looking for unbroken bottles to sell to the Western Bar. I usually had a full sack of bottles. I had spending money after the trips to find bottles. Every so often the community held a dance at the local hall. The participants at the dance parked their cars in the large parking lot that surrounded the hall. Every so often, the dancers would leave the dance to get a drink that they had in their cars. After finishing drinking, they sometimes gave their bottles a toss. After a dance found me up early. I wanted to be the first one at the parking lot to salvage unbroken bottles before the other boys. There was a lot of competition for the bottles. Our house was about a block and a half from the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad tracks. There was an open field between our house and the railroad tracks. I remember seeing the hobos riding the rails to pick fruit on the West Coast and to work in the harvest of the Midwest. They did not have money for any other transportation. They rode in and on top of the freight cars to where the employment was. While the coal fired steam engine was replenished with coal and water, the crew ate at Jimmie s café. The hobos ate wherever they could scrounge a meal. Many times the hobos came to our house offering to work for food. Everyone in town cooked and heated their homes with wood and coal. The hobos would chop wood or fill coal buckets for a meal. Today it would be a dangerous practice to let a stranger do those things. If the wood box and coal buckets were full, Mom fed the hobos anyway. She would feed them leftovers or make them a fried egg or peanut butter sandwich. The hobos never left our house hungry. Mom was a very compassionate, generous woman. Dad was a good provider even during the Great Depression. They shared with those less fortunate than themselves. BOB HUFF grew up in Upton. He is a driver for the mini-bus managed by the 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. Health law sign-ups grow as Feb. 15 deadline nears WASHINGTON (AP) The Obama administration says sign-ups continue to build under the president s health care law ahead of a Feb. 15 enrollment deadline. Nearly 7.5 million people enrolled as of last Friday in 37 states where the federal government is running insurance markets, which offer subsidized private coverage for people who don t have a job-based plan. South Florida led other major metro areas, with more than 637,000 people enrolled from Miami to West Palm Beach. Additionally, states acting in tandem with the federal HealthCare.gov site have signed up at least 2.4 million people through their own insurance exchanges. Officials are preparing for a surge toward the end of next week, as supporters make a final push. The goal is at least 9.1 million people enrolled and paying premiums for SENIOR CENTER HAPPENINGS Have a favorite grandmother, grandfather, wife, husband, aunt or uncle you would like to pay tribute to?

3 C3 Youth 0207.qxp_A Section Template 2/5/15 8:32 AM Page 1 YOUTH SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, THE SHERIDAN PRESS C3 Summit Award winner: Holly Trujillo BY THE 11TH-GRADE ENGLISH CLASS FORT MACKENZIE HIGH SCHOOL SHERIDAN Fort Mackenzie High School students complete 750 to 1,000 hours of community service annually, under the belief that doing so will help them learn, grow and connect with others, among many other benefits. Through such projects as helping to clean parks, raising funds for nonprofits through fun activities and doing things to better the school itself, FMHS students demonstrate a commitment to serving others. Community service projects at FMHS are executed within Tribes. Junior Kameron Sutherland described Tribes as your family, your own team. We support and care for each other like brothers and sisters, Sutherland said. Normal high school students may call it your home room, but we call it a family. Some service projects have included dances at retirement homes, cleaning up Kendrick Park after a storm, collecting supplies for the Sheridan Dog and Cat Shelter and planting gardens. Last year, the school s Pennies for Presidents program a fundraising Learning and growing through serving others COURTESY PHOTO Fort MacKenzie High School students, from left, Darin Gilbertson, Cade Neeson and Jessica Paulson, cleared brush at South Park recently as an act of community service. competition in which Tribes competed to raise the most change for a local charity raised more than $800 for the shelter. Darin Gilbertson, a physical education teacher at FMHS, began a community service project building benches at South Park with the students. Gilbertson said the entire project was great but the closure of being able to visit South Park and see the benches out for public use was especially gratifying. Similarly, FMHS English teacher Josh Hanson said three of his students used the school s laser engraver to design and build a new sign for the Kendrick Park ice cream stand. It gives students an opportunity to give back to the community, FMHS Principal Sean Wells said. It makes them feel that they are a part of the school s family and a part of the community. FMHS reading teacher Bing Lind said community service is also good for the students because it can help their selfesteem and give them a sense of accomplishment and importance. Jackson Boyd said one great thing about community service is its connection with people outside of school. It can expose them to the community, Boyd added. It helps them see the good they can do for others. In addition to the scheduled service projects, the size of the student body at FMHS allows for special freedoms to respond when there is community need. According to FMHS history teacher David Peterson, the entire school has participated in community projects to clean up fallen trees at the Kendrick Mansion after storms and fill sandbags to help during floods. Our work allowed them to go back to business as normal, Peterson said. Based on the school s motto Believe, Learn, Contribute the students are graded in Tribes based on community service work. The students can receive up to.25 class credits per every 10 hours of community service. Peterson said it is a fun way to make kids more aware of what s going on in the community. We are social beings and as social beings, if we don't take care of each other, we will crumble as a society, Peterson said. Giving opportunities for young people to reach out into their communities is really important. House rejects bill to create new group on education vision CHEYENNE (AP) The state House of Representatives has rejected a proposal that would have created the Wyoming Council for Education. House Bill 147 would have tasked the council with identifying a common vision for Wyoming s public education system for preschool through post-secondary education. But the Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports that opponents said there are already enough people and groups guiding education policies in the state. The bill died on a floor vote. Trujillo A focus on her future distinguishes this week s Summit Award winner, Holly Trujillo. Trujillo has challenged herself to attain success in all aspects of her life. Academically she set a goal of achieving straight As from the sixth grade forward, and with only a couple of B+s along the way, she has been recognized as an outstanding student. She is on track to graduate with an impressive 3.90 GPA, has received academic letters her sophomore and junior years at Sheridan High School, and anticipates receiving academic honors her senior year as well. Trujillo is a member of the National Honor Society and SHS Senior Class Student Council, participates in Peer Assist and was a Link Leader. Trujillo s favorite subject is science, which has inspired her to work in the healthcare field. SHS science teacher Stephanie Stender acknowledges exceptional qualities in her former student, commenting that Trujillo has been one of the most caring, responsible and conscientious students I have ever had in my classroom she has the desire and heart necessary for greatness In addition to her regular coursework, Trujillo is enrolled in the Professional And Community Experiences Program at SHS which involves an internship four days a week in the area of occupational therapy, her career of choice. This past semester she interned with Dawn Rogers, an occupational therapist who is employed by Sheridan County School District 2. With mentoring and instruction from Rogers, Trujillo received first-hand experience working with elementary special education students in performing various modalities, including exercises in fine motor skills, goaloriented skills and other rehabilitative activities. During her second semester in the PACE program, Trujillo is interning with Kelsi Martinez, speech pathologist at Meadowlark Elementary. Undoubtedly this experience will further expand Trujillo s preparation for her chosen profession. For the 2013 and 2014 football seasons Trujillo worked as an athletic training student aide under the direction of Joanne Brewster, head athletic trainer at SHS. Brewster describes Trujillo as very intelligent, responsible, enthusiastic and professional and one who works well with others... As a member of the track team all four years of high school (discus and shot put), Trujillo credits that experience with instilling in her a drive for excellence and discipline, wisely concluding that it has helped keep her focused in school and determined to keep improving. Trujillo works part time at McDonald s during the school year (full time during the summer). Within just a few months of being hired she was promoted to crew trainer and is responsible for training new hires. When not working or attending school, Trujillo volunteers with the Eagles 186 organization on a regular basis, helps prepare holiday gift baskets for families in need, prepares food shipments to other countries, and helped organize and coordinate the Special Olympics track meet at SHS. This committed senior plans to begin her post-secondary education at Laramie County Community College and then transfer to the University of Wyoming. She intends to major in kinesiology and health science with further specialization in Occupational Therapy. Working with mentally handicapped students in a school setting is her ultimate career goal. Her parents, Cindy and Silviano ( Tony ) Trujillo, are credited with providing guidance and support in helping their daughter fulfill her aspirations. Summit Award Academics for All is an all-volunteer group of individuals and donors who support academic excellence in Sheridan County School District 2. Members of the committee include Beth Bailey, Mary Brezik-Fisher, Anne Gunn, Ryan Maddux, Tempe Murphy, Bill Patton, Doug Raney and Gina Thoney.

Main St The Lord s Day, take time to give thanks Along time ago, in a land far away, there was a man named Moses. In the second book of the Bible, Exodus, it is written: The Lord said to Moses, Come up to me on the mountain and, while you are there, I will give you the stone tablets on which I have written the commandments Such were the Ten Commandments given to humankind, the Ten Commandments of which many of us are familiar. Today, I am writing about the Third Commandment. In the Christian world, the Third Commandment is commonly stated as JIM HEISER Remember to keep holy the Lord s Day. Minimal observance of this Commandment usually entails the gathering of the Christian faithful in a house of worship, commonly referred to as a church. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that The Sunday celebration of the Lord s Day and his Eucharist is at the heart of the Church s life. This practice of the Christian assembly dates from the beginning of the apostolic age. On Sundays, many Christians throughout the world gather in community to give praise, thanksgiving, and glory to our good and gracious God. Note that I used the words many Christians. I believe it would be quite inaccurate for me to have written most or all Christians. And that sad reality is what I briefly write about today. The sad reality that far too many Christians completely ignore the Third Commandment. Far too many Christians fail to keep holy the Lord s Day. The sad reality that participation in communal worship in a church on a Sunday continues to dwindle. The sad reality that, for far too many of us, the thought of worship at church on a Sunday never enters our minds. It has been commonly stated, that roughly 30 percent of Catholics attend Mass on Sunday. The numbers for Western Europe are significantly lower. The reasons for non-attendance are numerous and varied. Apathy and laziness may certainly be reasons for some. The lack of any kind of relationship with God, perhaps, for many others. There are many alternatives with which to spend our time. One reason that I see come into play here in our community is kids sports on a Sunday morning. The following is a quote from a book titled Rebuilt by Fr. Michael White and Tom Corcoran: It is now axiomatic for us to say that everything hurts [church] attendance: good weather, bad weather, Ravens home games, a three-day weekend, the St. Patrick s Day Parade, Super Bowl Sunday, road work, Rosh Hashanah, you name it. But in our suburban Baltimore culture the biggest distraction of all is kid s sports programs. Sports rule the weekend schedule and trump everything else going on in the life of the community, starting with church. We re competing with kid s sports, which have become a kind of new religion. We didn t get that. Church is the last thing to be added to people s to-do lists and the first to come off. Often, I travel to Ranchester on a Sunday morning to celebrate Mass at St. Edmund s Church. A few blocks from home, I pass the ice skating rink. The number of vehicles in that parking lot rivals the number of cars in the Holy Name Church parking lot. And, the people cheering from the stands, in the outdoor weather, rivals, I am sure, attendance at many of the religious services in our town. In other seasons, similar scenarios play out, at soccer and baseball fields, and at basketball and volleyball courts. Perhaps Moses had it all wrong, perhaps the third Commandment was really Remember to keep playing sports on the Lord s Day. Now, I realize that there are other opportunities, other times on Sunday to gather for worship. But, I feel, in all too many instances, when Sunday mornings are wrapped up in sporting events, Sunday worship does not take place at all. When I process such realities in my head and heart, one thought keeps returning. For those of us who believe we have been created by a Supreme Being we call God, we have much to be grateful for. To be quite frank, whereas everything we have is a gift from God, including our next breath, we should spend a significant amount of our allotted time in life giving thanks. There are 168 hours in a week, can t we spend at least one brief hour a week giving thanks to God in a church, giving thanks and praise to God in communal worship, alongside our brothers and sisters who have been likewise gifted? One hour a week out of 168? The Third Commandment doesn t ask much. It calls us to keep holy the Lord s Day. To give one day a week to the Lord. Can t most of us do better than what we are doing now? Praised be Jesus Christ! REV. JIM HEISER is a pastor at Holy Name Catholic Church.

5 PEOPLE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, THE SHERIDAN PRESS C5 Farmers market named one of state s top celebrated markets FROM STAFF REPORTS SHERIDAN The Sheridan Farmers Market has been named as one of the state s Top Celebrated Markets for 2014 by the American Farmland Trust. This comes after what we feel has been our best efforts to date, market manager Bonnie Gregory said in a press release. The number of registered vendors, market attendance and an estimated $99,000 in revenues for a 13-week season made this a record year. This is a testament to the dedication of the Downtown Sheridan Association, Sheridan Farmers Market steering committee and vendors, as well as the market patrons from throughout Sheridan County who have made local goods a priority in their homes, she added. The local farmers market is set to open the 2015 season on July 9 on Grinnell Plaza. The market will be held each Thursday from 5-7 p.m. rain or shine through the end of September. An end-of-season festival is planned for Oct. 3. For additional information about the farmers market, contact Gregory at COURTESY PHOTO Harry Jackson works in his studio in New York in the 1950s.

McConnell s exhibition essay, which gives a brilliant overview of Jackson s abstract expressionist career, highlights Harry Jackson s connections to Jackson Pollock as well as Willem de Kooning.
