Fire threatens mountain region DEL NORTE, Colo. (AP) — A massive wildfire threatened a tourist town in Colorado’s southwestern mountains on Friday, forcing its roughly 400 residents to flee ahead of the fast-burning blaze fueled by hot, windy weather. Wildland firefighters teamed up with local firefighters to try to protect South Fork, which is surrounded by the Rio Grande National Forest. See Page 10.

BY JIM DAVIS Staff Writer jdavis@civitasmedia.com DAYTON — Members of Team Fastrax are used to putting on elegantly choreographed shows to thrill air show crowds across the globe. But they also want people to know skydiving is something just about anybody can do. “You can’t find anything else out there like it,” said Scott “Gila” Stilwell who, along with the rest of Team Fastrax, will perform today and Sunday at the Dayton Air Show at Dayton International Airport. “It’s definitely a unique experience. And it’s a confidence builder for people. Anybody that may be scared of heights, airplanes — parachutes even — for

“I’ve taken passengers up that were 100 years of age.” Formed in 2002 to promote skydiving “in a positive way,” Team Fastrax has evolved from just a four-way formation team to include

BY JIM DAVIS Staff Writer jdavis@civitasmedia.com It’s hard to tell what goes through a person’s mind just before they do something slightly dangerous for the first time. Am I going to get hurt? Will I survive? Who told me this was a good idea in the first place? So just before jumping out of a Cessna Caravan 10,000 feet above Dayton International Airport Friday afternoon, it struck me as a bit odd that I wasn’t worried. • See SKYDIVE on 2

WASHINGTON (AP) — As the FBI grapples with scrutiny over government surveillance, President Barack Obama on Friday moved to turn the agency over to James Comey, a top Bush administration lawyer best known for defiantly refusing to go along with White House demands on warrantless wiretapping nearly a decade ago. Obama cited Comey’s “fierce independence and deep integrity” as he nominated him to replace outgoing FBI Director Robert Mueller. Mueller has led the agency for 12 years, longer than any previous director except J. Edgar Hoover, after Obama asked him to stay on beyond his initial 10-year term at a time of global threats. Mueller had moved into the director’s

Lunar lovers will have a super weekend as a “supermoon” will rise in the eastern sky tonight and Sunday evening. A “supermoon” refers to the state of the moon when it is about 14 percent larger in apparent

MIAMI COUNTY diameter and therefore brighter than a “regular” full moon, according to the U.S. Naval Observatory. According to NASA, because both the full moon and perigee coincide Sunday morning (after the moon has set for the day), tonight, early Sunday and Sunday

evening should provide big, bright moons. The word perigee describes the moon’s closest point to Earth for a given month, according to EarthSky.org. Patricia Shaw, a member of the Stillwater Prairie Stargazers, said the best time for Miami County sky watchers to look for the supermoon’s rise on the horizon is at

approximately 9:21 p.m. after the sun has set for the evening 11 minutes earlier. “Find a place where you have a clear view of the horizon and look due east/southeast to watch the supermoon rise,” Shaw said. “You want to go where there’s a clear field or on a hill to get the best • See MOON on 2
