1 SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, THE SHERIDAN PRESS C1 Pointers for poinsettias Millions of poinsettias will come home for the holidays this holiday season. Come January, millions of them will end up in garbage cans and compost heaps. Few people have the patience to keep these cheerful heralds of the season growing after the new year, but with a little care they will perform even better and last longer. They can also be combined with other SUSAN WOODY plants to create more beautiful, memorable holiday displays. Few things are as sad looking as a neglected poinsettia encased in shiny foil that has lost all its leaves, with just a few sticks supporting the last of its flowers. When you buy these traditional plants this season, liberate it from the foil wrapping when you get home. The foil prevents the pot from draining, setting up a case of lethal overwatering. As leaves drop (which they will in response to the lower humidity and light in your house), our natural inclination is to pour on the water until we drown the poor thing. To prevent this, set the pot in a saucer and water only when the soil is dry to the touch. Keep the plant away from heat ducts to help prevent desiccation. Poinsettias dominate any display but they can be interestingly contrasted by foliage plants such as English ivy, ferns, Norfolk Island pines, dracaenas and pothos. If you have the patience to keep your plant, remember that this Mexican native likes bright light and can t stand drought. Cut off the remaining flowers and prune the branches back by several inches. Fertilize to encourage new growth. It should respond with bushy new foliage. Will it bloom again? That is up to you. The time-honored directions for re-blooming involve setting the plant in a dark closet, starting in September, at four in the afternoon and taking it out again at sunrise. It can t have one ray of light during this time, not even from a streetlight. I know of only one gardener who has actually re-bloomed a poinsettia, and that was by accident. Good luck. SUSAN WOODY has been a home and gardener writer for more than 20 years and is a master gardener. Houses that hold secrets BY MARY G. PEPITONE UNIVERSAL UCLICK Some homes hold secrets and conceal more space than meets the eye. A door hidden in plain view that leads to a secret room isn't just the stuff of movie sets and spy novels, says Steve Humble, president and founder of the decade-old Creative Home Engineering firm, based in Gilbert, Arizona. "I am a mechanical engineer by trade, and when I started this business, a majority of the openings to secret rooms we designed were fun by nature, leading to the kids' playroom or a home theater," Humble says of his business that has become an industry leader in the construction of secret rooms. "But, today, a majority of the secret rooms we design address home security, whether it's a safe room for people or valuables." Secret openings can be concealed within a fireplace, a wall bookcase unit, cupboard or cabinet. The first of Humble's trade secrets to an ensconced enclosure in a home is to utilize the "dead" space in a home. Whether it's a passageway underneath a staircase or a doorway that leads to space originally designated as part of a furnace room, closet or crawl space, Humble says the key to having a secret room is that visitors don't even know one exists within the home. Feeding birds over the winter time While a homeowner can retrofit a secret room into an existing house renovation, Humble says it's easier to conceal contents in new home construction. Often designated on architectural plans as a home's mechanical room or closet, builders won't even know about a secret room installation. "When we take a job, we build the opening to certain specifications, so it can be installed at the very end of construction -- after all the workers have left -- so the space remains a secret," Humble says. "Some woodworkers think they can add a hinge to a piece of carpentry, but a quality secret door is a very precise machine that must maintain extremely tight tolerances.". While some might consider having a secret passageway in the home as a sign of status, Humble says the average homeowner can "step through the looking glass," with a full-length wall-hanging mirror that is really an opening to a secret room. A vault or panic room door can feature a heavyduty locking system that provides a strong resistance to forced entry, as well as the ability to interface with an existing home security system. "When it comes to protecting your most important assets -- including your family -- concealment is the first line of defense against intruders," Humble says. " SCOTT HININGER People enjoy watching birds year round especially in the wintertime. One may find endless pleasure in watching the birds feeding on a stormy day. To be assured of these visitors at close range, special feeds and feeders are highly recommended. A sheltered open space 8 to 10 feet across, swept clear each morning before sun-up, will do nicely for the ground-feeding birds, such as cardinals, blue jays, juncos, grosbeaks, purple finches, pigeons, English sparrows and the starlings. Coarser grains in mixture are suitable for throwing here common wheat, cracked corn, sunflower seeds. Breadcrumbs may bring unwanted cats and dogs. Squirrels become a nuisance on the ground feeder, and sudden snowfalls may cover food before it is eaten. The best structures are covered stations, into which the birds can fly at any time, with feed dry and little danger from cats. These feeders are of many styles for mounting on poles, window ledges, under eaves or on a tree or slung to move along a clothesline. The seed-cake type feeder is complete and requires only hanging and replacement when empty. Seed cakes contain preferred seeds and strained suet to the liking of many treefeeding birds, such as chickadees, nuthatches, tufted titmice, hairy and downy woodpeckers and other elusive species. Combination feeders, holding both a seed cake and dry mixed seeds, are attractive features for any garden. Chunks of suet are useful in coarse-meshed onion or potato bags, hung in trees. Pheasants are attracted to whole corn ears. A constant supply of grit is needed for all birds when no gravel areas are open during the months of snow. Cheap seed mixes contain a high percentage of corn and milo. Generally larger seeds attract larger birds, especially wild game birds. Sunflower seeds rank first preference of most birds, with hard red wheat, millet, hulled oats (or rolled), cracked peanuts and, if available, cracked buckwheat, all very acceptable. Seed balls contain only a coating of seeds over suet, and should not be confused with seed cakes, which have the better seeds heavily mixed throughout the suet. Striped sunflower is a favorite of the colorful cardinal. Surely the most popular wild birdfeed to attract chickadees, grosbeaks, cardinals, blue jays, gold finches, nuthatches, cedar waxwings, etc. Black oil sunflower a cold-weather feed for our feathered friends. Smaller black seed than the giant striped, this seed is high in oil and protein content to keep birds warm. Thistle seed (Niger seed) works if you are COURTESY PHOTO UNIVERSAL UCLICK This secret room, concealed by a bookcase, is a private retreat connected to the home's "man cave." interested in a colorful show of gold finches, purple finches and red polls. This is the feed to attract them to your yard. Cracked corn, is high in carbohydrates and vitamin A. Mix corn or other grains to your feed for ground feeding juncos, sparrows, doves, pheasants, quail, ducks and blue jays. Peanut pieces are high in fats and carbohydrates. Add this coldweather feed to your feeders to keep your feathered visitors warm. Placement of these feeding stations is also a consideration since the hulls and droppings can be an issue especially the cleanup. The other item to consider is the seeds that are not eaten can grow up next year and they may not be the type of desired plant for that location. Then there is the attraction of less desirable wildlife. Do not forget having water available in non-metallic birdbaths by using thermostatically controlled water warmers. There are those individuals who have installed small decorative ponds in their backyards. Some have heaters and shallow rocks next to the bank. This allows birds to have a drink all year long. The real benefit of these ponds is a year round water source but also can provide other year round pleasures. SCOTT HININGER is with the Sheridan County Extension office.

2 SENIOR C2 THE SHERIDAN PRESS SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2014 Lights, cameras fun! BY LOIS BELL SHERIDAN SENIOR CENTER COURTESY PHOTO Jo Ann Moser, left, CleRae Shawcroft, center, and Diane Achenbach enjoy a group tour of Christmas lights last year organized by the Senior Center. The evening activity that includes a Christmas light tour has been organized by the Senior Center for older adults and has been a holiday tradition for several years. SHERIDAN For many, Christmas includes a tour of neighborhoods to see homes decorated for the holiday. The Senior Center is offering its annual Christmas lights tour for older adults again this year. The tour has been part of the center s community activities for several years. I ve been going for as long as I can remember, said participant Esther McKenzie. The Senior Center light tour has become one of McKenzie s annual holiday activities. For Dixie Glaze and her husband, Don, this will be their third year on the Christmas Light tour. The couple drive in from Ranchester for the evening activity. It was a very enjoyable evening with good company and singing, Glaze said. The evening of the light tour has a different twist this year. Last year a pie social preceded the tour with an opportunity for photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus. This year, a soup supper with bread and beverage will be served with the 45-minute tour following. The evening ends with dessert and hot beverage at the Best Western Sheridan Center on Main Street. There s a lot of fun and laughter and oo-ing and aw-ing, Diane Achenbach said. I ve invited some friends to come with me this year. We re making it our holiday tradition. Transportation will be provided by the Sheridan mini-bus; the bus is handicap accessible. Space is limited and advance sign-up by Dec. 16 is required. The suggested contribution is $13 per persons registered with the Senior Center and $16 per person for all others. The fee includes the soup supper, transportation and the dessert with beverage at the Sheridan Center. Participants are invited to bring cameras if they wish. It s a wonderful time, McKenzie said.

This is a great perk for the caregiver that needs to get to work early. Call Barb Blue at for details. The best job I ever had was picking and arranging wildflowers. Then I had to identify them. The bouquet recipients were guests at a local dude ranch and they asked questions. I started working at Tepee Lodge, a dude ranch, the first summer after high school graduation. The RENEE MEADOR owners didn t usually hire locally but one of the cabin girls from back East went home injured. My friend, Pat MacCatherine, was working at Tepee. She had filled a similar vacancy the previous year. Pat called me. I And I get paid for this? asked my dad. He stalled. He stewed. He worried about my leaving home. He worried about my living on a dude ranch. He worried about my missing Mass. He s Italian. He s very protective of all his daughters. After a couple days of strained silence while waiting for his permission, I approached the topic the most adult way I could. The owners needed a decision. He would understand that. I don t know, he started, dude ranches have a reputation While he hesitated, looking for a way to say no without crushing my hopes to smithereens, I quietly in my most I m-not-arguingwith-you voice said, Dad, if you haven t taught me right from wrong in 17 years, you re not going to do it in three months. Go ahead and go, he relented. With all the grownup aplomb I could muster, I turned to go call the owners. On my way through the kitchen I caught my mom off guard, picked her up where she stood, and swung her around. He said I can go! I had no idea where I was going, figuratively or geographically, but there would be mountains and horses and I d be living there! But, mom knew. Growing up as second daughter on a Montana wheat ranch, she knew physical work and living close to the land. She knew this would be a good experience for me. I d go with you if I could, she smiled. In snowy early June, as one of four cabin girls, I learned to clean log cabins that had been closed for the previous nine months. I swept down the walls to remove winter dust and cobwebs. I swept out dead flies, dead mice, mouse droppings, and old d-con bait. I scrubbed flyspecks off wooden window frames and bathroom fixtures. I mopped worn tongue-andgroove wood floors. Finally, each cabin was dressed out with curtains and linens, and colorful old Navajo rugs. Then the flowers bloomed. Flowers of every shade and shape dressed the hillsides, and paraded the trails. They crept in among the pines and held counsel in the bogs. The profusion of wild flowers was the backdrop of my busy life cleaning cabins for eastern guests. A vase full of currently blooming wildflowers, arranged by the owner, greeted the guests on arrival at their cabin. It wasn t until that vase full of flowers became my responsibility that I truly came to appreciate the mountain wildflowers. In my sixth summer, I became the owner s assistant, responsible for the wildflower bouquet. I quickly discovered I needed to be ready to identify flowers for people far more serious about wildflowers than I had heretofore been. Fortunately, the owner had a well-stocked shelf of wildflower field guides. When I completed a bouquet, I could identify each blossom. What a job! Thus started my passion to seek out and identify the dazzling, varied Bighorn Mountain flora. No other job has ever compared to my seven summers among the mountain wildflowers. One time, this passion allowed me to find an abundant but miniscule wildflower specimen that was sent to Russia. But, that s another story. RENEE MEADOR is a Sheridan resident.

The Sheridan County Children s and Youth Chorale performed at the WYO Theater Wednesday. Congress relaxes whole grain standards for schools WASHINGTON (AP) Congress is taking some whole grains off the school lunch line. A massive year-end spending bill released Tuesday doesn t allow schools to opt out of healthier school meal standards championed by first lady Michelle Obama, as House Republicans had sought. But it would ease standards that require more whole grains in school foods. The bill also would put off rules to lower sodium in school meals. Those rules were supposed to kick in by Some school nutrition directors have lobbied for a break from the standards, which have been phased in since They say the rules have proven to be costly and restrictive. House Republicans have said they are an overreach. Michelle Obama has said she will fight to the bitter end to ensure healthy meals in schools. Summit Award winner: Judy Chen Academics for All is pleased to announce that Judy Chen, daughter of Ru and Chao Chen of Sheridan, is this week s Summit Award winner. She maintains a 4.0 GPA despite a challenging course load, working part time, and many extracurricular activities. Jeanne Hackman was Chen s Gifted and Talented English (GATE) teacher for three years. She says, Judy has a natural curiosity in all situations and looks for opportunities which challenge her thinking. Both teachers and students respect Chen Judy. She impressively balances her academics, activities and working in her family s business. Chen took Advanced Placement U.S. government as a sophomore and AP chemistry, AP psychology and AP Spanish as a junior. She is currently taking AP biology, AP British literature, AP calculus and AP environmental science. Chen has been named an AP Scholar with Honor based on the excellent results of the AP exams she s taken. Nancy Crowe, who teaches Chen s AP calculus class, comments, Judy has a cheerfully tenacious approach to the way she studies mathematics and a fierce determination to achieve her goals. I don't think she is aware of just how tough she is. But, of course, that's part of what makes her so extraordinary. Chen has competed for four years in Speech and Debate. Marla Hinrichs, who coaches the club, says of Chen, Judy likes to be very independent and strong and do things her own way. But she is also hopeful and funny and embraces the people around her. Chen attended Wyoming Girls State last June in Powell and was elected governor. Chen credits her experience with Speech and Debate as a factor in her election. The main campaign activity was preparation and delivery of a three-minute speech. After serving as governor during the session, Chen also spent a day job shadowing Gov. Matt Mead. This included flying in the state airplane to Casper and Rock Springs as Mead attended events focused on shortages of housing for workers. Also last summer, Chen traveled for four weeks in Spain. She says, Not only has the trip inspired me to continue learning other languages but it has also ignited a deep respect for others living in poor conditions. Her trip was made possible, in part, by a Matthew Perkins Memorial Scholarship. Chen is the vice-president of the National Honor Society, overseeing service and mentoring projects. She is a fouryear member and officer of student government. She belongs to Rotary International s youth service group, Interact. She also mentors for Big Brothers Big Sisters, spending one lunchtime a week with her Little. At night and on weekends, she often works in her parents restaurant, Dragon Wall. When asked how she manages her many commitments and stress, Chen says she works hard to make conscious choices and thoughtful trade-offs. Also, Chen tries to build some fun into each day. Last year she took a studio art class. This year she is interning at the YMCA child care program. Chen credits her mother with having a strong influence on her. One thing she has learned from her mom is that many people focus on the big things but don t think enough about the small things in life. How you dress, behave and treat others makes a difference and each small thing deserves attention. Chen is applying to several colleges. Eventually, she would like to enter the medical field and become a pediatrician so I can both support my parents and spend my days with children. 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 Luke Chapter 2:1-16 (Standard King James Version) And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding ROGER SANDERS in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. A Christmas Prayer When the song of angels is stilled, When the star in the sky is gone, When the kings and princes are home, When the shepherds are back with their flock, The work of Christmas begins: To find the lost, To heal the broken, To feed the hungry, To release the prisoner, To rebuild the nations, To bring peace among the brothers and sisters, To make music in the heart.

5 PEOPLE SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, THE SHERIDAN PRESS C5 Lions Club presents check to SC basketball coaches in support of Booster Club FROM STAFF REPORTS SHERIDAN The annual Lions Club basketball tournament at Sheridan College celebrated its 40th year over the Thanksgiving Day weekend. On Dec. 4, Lions Club officials presented a $1,200 check to Sheridan College basketball coaches Matt Hammer and Frank McCarthy and SC Foundation official Debi Isakson, in support of the SC Booster Club. The Lions Club is a tremendous supporter of Sheridan College Athletics and the Booster Club, said Hammer, who coaches the men s basketball team. This tournament is 40 years strong because of the support of the Lions. Representing the Lions Club were Bill Rathburn, who has been a part of the philanthropic organization for more than 40 years, and Denice Rollins, in her 23rd year with the club. Locally, we do fundraisers like this basketball tournament and we also work with the eye doctor offices to help pay for eyeglasses, Rollins said. I became a Lion because in 1988 they helped me with a corneal transplant. We also work with schools to pay for eyeglasses for students. This year 42 students have benefited from the Lions Club. The Lions Club is an international organization. The Sheridan branch features 31 members who meet twice a month. In support of the annual basketball tournament, the COURTESY PHOTO From left, Lions Club officials Bill Rathburn and Denice Rollins, Sheridan College men s basketball coaches Matt Hammer and Frank McCarthy, and Sheridan College Foundation official Debi Isakson stand with a donation from the Lions Club.
