One month before Colorado prisons chief Tom Clements was shot to death in the doorway of his home — a shooting now linked to a white supremacist — prison officials shook the world of hundreds of members of the suspect’s prison gang, the 211 Crew. The Denver Post has learned that Clements’ Department of Corrections staff moved a core group of white supremacist leaders held at Sterling Correctional Complex to Buena Vista Correctional Center, diluting their numbers and strength. “There was a group up there and (prison officials) decided to break them up,” said a DOC official who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Now DOC officials and others are investigating whether Clements’ killing was an ordered “hit,” or whether the gunman was acting alone, a source told The Denver Post. Four DOC and federal officials spoke to the Post on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak officially due to the ongoing criminal investigation.

Questions persist in teen’s hit-and-run death 3 months later, Longmont police still have no leads By Pierrette J. Shields The Longmont Times-Call

longmont» Shortly before 16-year-old Jason Grimmer died on New Year’s Eve in a hitand-run crash on Main Street, police officers talked with the teen and let him go even though they found vodka on him and determined he had been drinking, according to police reports. After nearly three months searching for the driver and vehicle that left the teen dead, Longmont police still don’t have any leads. Meanwhile, the investigation to date has been complicated by the number of witnesses involved, subsequent threats traded among those witnesses, a fight at the heart of the evening that appears to have racial motivations, and persistent questions about the direction of the investigation itself. Longmont Public Safety Chief Mike Butler said police can be an easy target when something goes wrong in the community, but the officers’ decision to let Grimmer go even though he had been drinking did not cause the boy’s death. “The actions of our police officers back on New Year’s Eve have been assessed, and we have counseled them regarding other options to consider,” Butler said in a prepared statement on the issue. He said officers deal with those under the influence of alcohol regularly and have discretion on how each case might be handled.

The fight It started in the parking lot of King Soopers on the 2200 block of Main Street before 10 p.m. on New Year’s Eve. Police have released few details to date about the fight that Grimmer fled before his death. Part of the reason for that is because the investigation remains open, few of the 73 police report supplements about the evening are releasable under Colorado open records laws. However, one of the men involved in the fight was ticketed on suspicion of misdemeanor harassment after the fight and his case records were releasable, including his account of the evening

Grimmer died. Stephen Poolson, 31, of Longmont was among Grimmer’s friends that night and was ticketed on suspicion of harassing one of the other men in the fight in the days after Grimmer’s death. He reportedly got hold of Keenan Morris’ phone number, called him and said, “It’s retaliation time,” according to his arrest report. The report indicated Poolson “made lots of phone calls” after his friend died, apparently blaming Morris, also of Longmont, and his friends for Grimmer’s death. Poolson’s misdemeanor ticket is the only arrest police have made so far related to the brawl, despite multiple reported injuries. “We’re not in a position yet to make other arrests,” said Longmont Police Cmdr. Jeff Satur. “We’re still focusing on the hitand-run side of it.” Poolson told officers investigating the harassment reports that he, Grimmer, and their other friends gathered in Longmont between 4 and 5 p.m., started to drink and played poker. He recalled that Grimmer showed up with a bottle of vodka that was shared. They planned to take the bus to Boulder and then on to Denver to go to Grimmer’s house, according to reports. On the way, the group went to King Soopers, where they ran into Morris as he left work, and walked slowly in front of Morris’ car, apparently aggravating him enough that he yelled at them. Poolson and Grimmer’s group then “began yelling racial slurs” at him as he attempted to drive away. Police were called to the budding disturbance. Morris did not want to press charges, so officers let everyone go on their way after apparently cooling the issue. During the initial report, officers found the vodka in Grimmer’s bag and determined the teen had been drinking, but let him go as well. He “was with two adults, also, and I believe those adults agreed to take responsibility for him,” Satur said. Officers have to weigh many issues when working on a call, Satur said.

“I know the officers were busy that night because it was New Year’s Eve, so there are a lot of other factors. In an ideal world we would like intervention,” he said. After officers left, Poolson later told investigators, Morris was joined by others — initially reported as a group of six black men, although only two others are named in released reports. According to police, a fight between the two groups erupted near the bus stop on the 2200 block of Main Street, and Grimmer ran away from it. As the teen fled, he was struck and killed by a vehicle on Main Street, but the vehicle did not stay at the scene. Interviews with all of those who were in the fight did not help identify a suspect vehicle, according to police. Poolson told police that the groups came to blows almost as soon as officers left from the first call and that three cars pulled up with Morris and his friends getting out and launching an attack. He said two of Morris’ friends got into a BMW and tried to run over one of his other friends. Police quickly returned to a chaotic scene and started to try to disentangle the night. It turns out, that wasn’t easy. After Grimmer was hit, another van left the scene and was among the first suspect vehicles, but police quickly determined it didn’t hit Grimmer. A rear-end crash with unrelated motorists who happened upon the scene also confused matters.

Wrong suspect On Jan. 3, police arrested Morris’ sister, 18-year-old Kendra Balentine, on suspicion of the hit-and-run. Police said at the time that her car struck and killed Grimmer and that biological evidence on the car would prove it.

Additionally, tire treads taken from Grimmer’s body matched her tires, they said. Almost immediately, Messiahville Baptist Church Pastor Corey Seulean stepped out publicly and said Balentine was in church all night, did not leave the church and could not have been at the scene of the crash. Church members who had gathered for games and a celebration would bear witness, he said. Balentine spent seven days in the Boulder County Jail until her family was able to post her bond. Satur said at the time that investigators were certain Balentine was responsible for Grimmer’s death, pointing to an unnamed witness, the “biological evidence” and the tire treads. He said police believed Morris called Balentine to help after the initial disturbance and that she had left the church, gone to the scene, hit Grimmer and returned to church. However, he said, investigators would look into her claims. The evidence police claimed they had led prosecutors to file a felony charge against Balentine. “There was damage to her vehicle consistent with an accident, there was biological matter on her vehicle consistent with her having hit someone, and the tire treads matched the bruising on Mr. Grimmer’s scalp,” the complaint read. According to the police report included in the court file with Balentine’s charges, she had confided to one of her friends that she struck another vehicle on the block where her mother lives and damaged that car. The friend told police Balentine was scared and talked about going to Chicago because of the hit-and-run. She made similar comments on her public Facebook page that police believed were out of proportion for a minor property-damage accident, so police

surmised she likely actually was talking about hitting Grimmer. Damage to her car, something that looked like “biological matter” on her car, and the fact that police could not turn up a report about a hit-and-run on her mother’s block, and her relationship to some in the fight made investigators suspect she was responsible, according to court records. That all fell apart, though, after Balentine was arrested and charged. In February, as Balentine was facing a preliminary hearing on a felony charge, prosecutors dismissed the case. Satur said that police believed there was “biological matter” on the car based on a “visual inspection.” Tests determined it was not biological matter. “Looking at it visually it appeared to be blood,” Satur said. “You have got to remember underneath a car it is greasy and dirty and there were spots under the car that appeared to be blood.” Further investigation also determined that the tire treads from Balentine’s car did not match those taken from Grimmer’s body. Officers also tracked down the owner of the vehicle Balentine hit. Damage to her car was explained by the strike to the other vehicle.

No new clues Police have repeatedly asked for the public’s help to try to find the vehicle that hit Grimmer, but there have been no tips and there are a number of reasons why that is possible. Satur said it is not clear if Grimmer was standing when he was hit or if he had fallen in the street and was then run over by one or more vehicles. He was wearing dark clothing that night. “It was always kind of our be-

Kendra Balentine, 18, was initially charged in a fatal hit-and-run on New Year’s Eve, then was cleared. Matthew Jonas, Longmont Times-Call

lief that he was running from the fight, but whether he fell ... his body position is unknown,” he said. Additionally, there is the possibility that the motorist does not know that he or she struck a person or that news of the hitand-run has not reached the person. Police sent surveillance video from local businesses in the area to the FBI to see if enhancements might help at least narrow down the make and model of the vehicle. It isn’t clear from his injuries if he was struck by a high-profile or lowprofile vehicle. What is clear is the vehicle drove over him. The arrest report for Balentine notes that the Boulder County coroner confirmed that Grimmer died as a result of the vehicle hitting him, not from injuries suffered in the fight. However, Coroner Emma Hall said she is pending her ruling on the cause and manner of Grimmer’s death until the police make more progress. The case is complicated, she said.

Crime-scene tape flutters in the wind at the corner of East 14th Avenue and Yosemite Street where two boys were killed in a hit-and-run Friday night. Karl Gehring, The Denver Post

ACCIDENT «FROM 1B think hit the family. The SUV was last seen traveling southbound at 11th Avenue. Witnesses told police that the driver of the SUV appeared to be white or Latino with tall, spiky hair, Buckskin said. Authorities are looking into what might have caused the accident, including visibility and whether the driver stopped for a moment before driving away from the scene. Bee was updated from critical to serious condition Saturday. Bee’s family had not yet told her that her sons were dead, Pie said. Bee moved to America in hopes of finding better educational opportunities for her sons. The pride she had for Zamay — who was learning to speak English — was obvious by the poster-sized frame she had filled with photos from his kindergarten graduation. Zamay would ask his family to tell him the English word for items around the house, Pie said.

Azat did not yet have his older brother’s zest for vocabulary, but that’s only because he spent most of his time playing outside, Pie said. On Saturday, the intersection was quiet and covered with heavy snow. Stiff strands of crime-scene tape fluttered from telephone poles. Denver Crime Stoppers is offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to the identification of the driver of the vehicle. The SUV might have damage on its front bumper. Denver police also issued a Medina Alert. The program was launched last year as a way to quickly notify the public about hit-and run suspects. The alert is named after Jose Medina, the Denver valet killed on Lincoln Street by a hit-and-run driver in 2011. Anyone with information about the suspect vehicle is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867. Staff reporter Kirk Mitchell contributed to this report.

Tapping into revenue streams Oil, gas leases pump funds into Weld County colleges, public schools By Anthony Cotton The Denver Post

Financially strapped college campuses and public schools in Weld County are tapping into the rich revenue stream flowing from the area’s oil and gas drilling boom. “It’s absolutely been part of our strategy. It’s another revenue source that will help keep us solvent,” said Aims Community College president Marsi Liddell. The college leased drilling rights on six acres of its Greeley campus to Synergy Resources last year and gets a $13,000 monthly check in return. Liddell said it’s the kind of outside-the-box thinking that helps provide a safety net in the face of dramatic decreases in college funding from the state. The University of Northern Colorado and Weld County School District 6 in Greeley also have inked deals with energy companies. UNC, which has about 12,500 undergraduate and graduate students mostly at its Greeley campus, signed a five-year contract with Mineral Resources Inc. that paid $123,110 for the lease rights, with 16 percent royalties when production begins in 2014. District 6 so far this year has received about $140,000 from its leases with Synergy. “We have them on almost all our properties,” said Theresa Myers, the district’s director of communications. “We’re talking 31 schools and four other facilities ... even our bus depot has a lease.” She said virtually all of Greeley is under some sort of contract or has leased with one oil and gas concern or another.

Weld County boom Craig Rasmuson, Synergy’s vice president of operations, said the company also is in the process of closing a contract with the nearby Eaton school district. “Anyone out that way is going to be a target,” he said. The use of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracking to extract oil and gas from shale formations has created a boom in many areas across the country from Pennsylvania to Texas. When it comes to Colorado, Weld County is the hotbed — and much of the resource involves private property. Selling mineral rights is no different than other public-private partnerships, such as the Marriott hotel on the Metropolitan State University of Denver campus or the University of Colorado Denver’s J.P. Morgan Center for Commodities, as far as the colleges are concerned. “We’ve all been forced to be more entrepreneurial in our operations,” said UNC president Kay Norton. “We’re all maximizing revenues. Certainly, I wouldn’t say what we’re doing is more extreme than anyone else.” But Norton acknowledges that fracking has raised concerns, environmentally, as well as socially, whenever it’s been introduced. “Oil and gas raises a lot of emotions, and there’s understandably a fear of the unknown,” she said. “But the company we hired is owned by Greeley residents — they literally live here and so they share the same concerns the rest of us have.” Norton grew up in Oklahoma where oil wells can be spotted in close proximity to the state capitol in Oklahoma City.

YES!! REALLY!!

Aims Community College in Greeley has leased drilling rights on 6 acres of its campus to Synergy Resources Corp. and gets $13,000 a month in return. RJ Sangosti, The Denver Post cause of that, she said she insisted that none of the drillingpad sites, with their multiple wellheads, be constructed on the campus. “I didn’t want any facilities rising up next to the football stadium,” she said. The UNC contract covers almost 250 acres of leased land, including the school’s west, central and east campuses. Mineral Resources has a pair of existing pad sites off campus that will be able to access the minerals under the campus through horizontal drilling

Faculty not consulted Some members of the UNC faculty admit that selling mineral rights and signing leases may have been inevitable. The problem they have is that much of the university community didn’t hear about the contract with Mineral Resources until February, more than a year after the contract was signed. Mary Schuttler, a UNC theater professor and the chair of the faculty senate, said in an email the group hasn’t taken an official position on the university’s decision to enter into the contract. Charles Charbonneau, UNC’s student body president, said that group wasn’t consulted. “It was a multimillion dollar

deal,” Charbonneau said, “They didn’t ask for our opinion.” Norton admits more transparency would have been helpful.

Seeking a “fair deal” When Aims entered into its process, it had oil and gas companies come in and give presentations, to try to allay concerns from the university community. Before the contracts were signed, the schools obtained releases from residents who lived in close proximity to the wells. Myers, of the District 6 school district, said she’s signed a lease with a company for exploration on the land beneath her Greeley home. The biggest concerns around town “are whether or not the people are getting a fair deal,” she said. Neither of the colleges expect the oil and gas windfall to replace the cutbacks in state funding. “By itself, it isn’t going to solve the problems we’re facing, but it’s certainly welcome,” Liddell said. Norton hopes the leases will bring in more than $10 million to UNC over the next 20 years. And while that sum can’t be dismissed as pocket change, Norton points out that UNC is getting almost $32 million in funding from the state Legislature

this year. Should that (state) money go away, she said, “It will leave us even more at the margins. The unhappy truth is that there won’t be any rescue from oil and gas.” Anthony Cotton: 303-954-1292, acotton@denverpost.com or twitter.com/anthonycottondp

“If some people get marriage, all people should get marriage.” Kris Miccio, University of Denver law professor

Crowds packed History Colorado Center on Thursday to watch as Gov. John Hickenlooper signed Senate Bill 11 legalizing civil unions. The Supreme Court’s upcoming ruling on California’s ban on gay marriage could expand Colorado’s new law. Hyoung Chang, The Denver Post

UNIONS «FROM 1B half of voters approving of gay marriage, according to Public Policy Poll of 542 Colorado voters in April. (In 2006, 55 percent of Colorado voters supported a ban on gay marriage.) “It’s really because neighbors and families and friends have come out, and more and more Americans know someone who is gay or lesbian and the more they know them, the more they love them and want them to have the same protections,” said Brad Clark of One Colorado. Even President Barack Obama, who said in 2008 that he didn’t support gay marriage, announced he was in favor of it before his re-election cam-

Grand Junction cop convicted of sexual assault of 16-year-old girl The Associated Press

A former Grand Junction police officer accused of having sex with a 16-year-old girl while on duty has been convicted. The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel reports that just before midnight Friday, jurors found 42-year-old Eric Janusz guilty of sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust. His sentencing is scheduled for May 22. Prosecutors say Janusz, while on duty, had sex with the girl in 2000 in the gymnasium of thenMesa State College. His accuser, now 29, testified to repeated sex with the officer, who was married at the time. Janusz said he became sexually involved with her only when she was of legal age, and his attorneys argued she was a scorned woman who lodged false accusations when a “toxic” relationship ended.

paign last year. This is why, in part, Kris Miccio, a University of Denver law professor and a lesbian, was against civil unions to begin with. “From a moral perspective, it raises amazing issues for the state of Colorado … for me, the idea in Colorado that we would agree to a second-class citizenship is unbelievable,” she said. “If some people get marriage, all people should get marriage.” Miccio said she and her partner plan to marry this year in Massachusetts, but when they go back to Denver County, it will be recognized only as a civil union. Clark argued the patchwork of relationship distinctions and bans “creates a really burdensome system especially on national employers who are trying to deal with the definition of same-sex couples in dif-

ferent ways.” Clark said a relationship status could literally change on a commute to work as people drive through different counties. While most gay marriage advocates hope for the sweeping Supreme Court victory — a ruling that broadly declares all state bans unconstitutional and recognizes other relationship distinctions as marriage — most say it is unlikely. Justices also could decide on California’s law narrowly and let states go from there, fighting one by one. In Colorado, that could lead to a ballot initiative, Clark said. “But a lot of it depends on the language the court uses.”

Robert H. Asher, age 87, passed away on Friday, March 15. He will be remembered lovingly by his son, Michael; daughter-in-law, Carolyn; sonin-law, Craig Foster; five grandchildren: Cheryl (Sean), Matthew (Julie), Nicholas (Leah), Mark (Jennifer), and Peter, as well as great-granddaughter, Ellie. He was predeceased by his beloved wife, Sheila and cherished daughter, Julie. Robert was born in Great Bend, Kansas. He served in the U.S. Air Force and graduated from the University of Colorado with undergraduate and law degrees. He worked for Mobil Oil Corporation for 46 years, rising to the position of General Counsel of the International Exploration and Producing Division. Robert was generous in nature, always quick with a compliment, and a friend to many at Holly Creek. He enjoyed an evening martini straight up with two olives, loved playing golf with his family, delighted in driving his purple Mercedes convertible, and really liked dancing to Big Band music, claiming to have invented "The Bird Dog Hop". The family is especially grateful to Robert's caregiver, Hellyn, who faithfully tended to his needs in the final six months of his life. A most fitting quotation for this man who embraced life is from George Bernard Shaw. "I want to be thoroughly used up when I die..." Robert Harrison Asher certainly lived life to the fullest. The family plans a private memorial ceremony at Holly Creek Retirement Community and a burial in Wilton, Connecticut.

Irene was born November 1922 in Onamia, MN and passed away in comfort March 2013 in Loveland, CO. Irene lived a full and amazing life of travel, humor and independence each and every day.

She married Keith Max, PhD, with whom she shared many new places and experiences. Irene retired from the Colorado State Capital as the Amendment Clerk of the House of Representatives, but never retired from her political activities and support. Irene was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, 3 sisters, 2 brothers and a very dear friend. Irene is survived by her nieces Alyce Fox (CA), Cynthia Dunlap (CA), JoAnn Roszell (MO); nephews Carter Strom (CA) and Phillip Strom (CA); and many grand and great-grand relatives.

MOORE, ROBERT VICTOR

He took pride in Denver and its landmarks, including East High School where he ran track. Bob served in the U.S. Navy and was a veteran of both WWII and the Korean War. After a long and distinguished career with the U.S. Postal Service, he retired in the mid-1970s as the Director of Mail Processing, but remained active his entire life working a second full career with AT&T and maintaining a keen interest in politics and history until his death. He was an avid golfer in earlier years, and always, a captivating storyteller.

SKAGGS, LENNIE SAM, JR. On March 21st, Lennie Sam Skaggs Jr. passed away peacefully surrounded by his loved ones of causes incident to age. Sam was born August 9, 1923 in Yakama, Washington to L. S. Skaggs Sr. of American Falls, Idaho, and Vivian Howe Skaggs of Idaho Falls, Idaho. The family moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1932 where Sam attended local schools and attended Westminster College. He had one sister, Helen Lowen (deceased) of Seattle, Washington. Sam served his country in the U. S. Army, Chemical Welfare Division during World War II. He spent 3 years in England prior to participating in the Allied invasion of Europe in 1944, landing on the shores of Utah Beach in Normandy, France. After returning home from the war Sam joined his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company, Payless Drug Stores, where he soon became manager of the store in Boise, Idaho. While in Boise he met his future wife, Aline Wilmot, where they were married on February 27, 1949 and soon after moved to Montana. In 1950, Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father died suddenly at age 55, requiring Sam to move to Salt Lake City where he assumed the job of President and CEO of Payless Drug Stores, running 11 stores at 27 years old. Retailing was not new to Sam as his family had been one of retailingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founding families in the West. His grandfather, Samuel Skaggs, opened a small grocery store in American Falls, Idaho in 1915. Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father and his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five brothers grew this store and others they would start into a chain of over 400 Skaggs United grocery stores and over 50 Skaggs Cash & Carry stores by 1924. In 1926 the Skaggs stores were merged with a chain of 322 Southern California stores to form Safeway. Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uncle M. B. Skaggs became CEO of Safeway and his father and several uncles were involved in management of the company. In 1929 Safeway had over 2,600 grocery stores and 1,300 meat markets. By the end of the 1930s all but one of the Skaggs brothers had left Safeway to start store chains of their own. In 1940 Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father bought 4 drug stores from his brother L. J. Skaggs and grew his chain to 11 stores at the time of his death. The Skaggs familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution to the history of American retailing is legendary. But no member of the Skaggs family had the impact on U.S. retailing that Sam Skaggs had over the next 45 years. Sam built the small 11 store chain into American Stores Company, a retailing giant with over $20 billion in annual sales and over 280,000 employees by the time he retired in 1993. In the process he had conceived and developed the food/drug combination store arguably the most significant new retailing concept of the last half of the 20th century. Under the banner of American Stores, Sam assembled some of the most well known brands in America, including Alfa Beta, Jewel Stores, Lucky Stores, Sav-On Drug, Acme Markets, Rea & Derick, OSCO Drug, Star Markets, Buttreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Katz Drug Stores and Skaggs Drug Stores. Sam served on many corporate and charitable organization boards including: President of Young Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Organization, President of National Association of Chain Drug Stores (two years), First Interstate Bancorporation, Utah Idaho Sugar Company, Mountain Fuel Supply Company, Walker Bank & Trust Company, American Stores Company, Westminster College, The Scripps Research Institute, The Skaggs Institute for Research, The ALSAM Foundation, The Vivian Skaggs Foundation for Catholic and Community Charities, University of Utah Board of Regents and Holy Cross Hospital. Many universities and colleges have recognized Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s importance to education. A 1970 citation he received from the University of Utah when awarded one of many Honorary Degrees, truly captures his life â&#x20AC;&#x153;To Mr. L. S. Skaggs, Jr., distinguished native son of the West, dynamic personality and capable administrator in the distribution of Pharmaceuticals and health care needs, leader in the intricate and competitive world of business, friend of education and research as the key to our successful future.â&#x20AC;? Sam and Aline have left a legacy of giving by generously sharing their good fortune over the last 65 years personally & through philanthropic entities such as their ALSAM Foundation. Six major Universities have named either their Pharmacy School or a building housing their Pharmacy School after Sam and Aline due to their generous funding. They are particularly proud of the new building for the L. S. Skaggs Pharmacy Research Institute at the University of Utah, which connects to the older Pharmacy building constructed in the 1950s honoring Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father. The joining of two buildings into one great school demonstrates the father/son commitment to education over sixty years. Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life-long vision of â&#x20AC;&#x153;bringing new medicines to lifeâ&#x20AC;? has certainly been fulfilled by the achievements of these exceptional pharmaceutical learning and research organizations. Sam and Aline also established Catholic Schools in Utah including, Juan Diego Catholic High School and St. Andrews and St. Marguerite Catholic grade schools. In Southern California they built Mater Dei Catholic High School, located three miles from the Mexican border, which includes a Science Academy and an English language program for Hispanic students and their parents. Other gifts for buildings, scholarships, medical research, humanitarian and wildlife causes and other charitable purposes are too numerous to mention. They believed and lived, as stated by Winston Churchill, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We make a living by what we get; but we make a life by what we give.â&#x20AC;? With great respect for wildlife, Sam served as a member of the Utah Wildlife Resources for six years and was involved with numerous Ducks Unlimited projects. He was also an avid pilot, getting his pilotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license in 1946 and later acquiring TransWest Air Service, Inc. which is still in service today. Sam and Aline also spent much time at their working cattle and farming ranch in Idaho, where the family enjoyed many treasured memories. Sam will be remembered as a person of tremendous character, conviction, and compassion, inquisitive by nature, a true leader and a visionary. A mentor to many, a friend to those in need, a creator of opportunity. Sam had a passion for life, for learning, for love, for his family and for his faith â&#x20AC;&#x201C; truly â&#x20AC;&#x153;a life well lived!â&#x20AC;? Sam is survived by his wonderful wife of 64 years, Aline Wilmot Skaggs, and their four children, Susie Balukoff (AJ) Boise, Idaho; Mark S. Skaggs (Cindy), Eureka Springs, Arkansas; Claudia S. Luttrell, Salt Lake City; Don L Skaggs (Teresa), Salt Lake City; fifteen grandchildren and thirty-seven great-grandchildren. Funeral services will be held at the Cathedral of the Madeline, 331 East South Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah, on Wednesday, March 27, at 11:00am. A vigil will be held at the Cathedral of the Madeline on Tuesday evening, March 26, at 7:00pm. Friends may greet the family from 6:00-7:00pm at the Cathedral. Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.larkincares.com. A private burial service will be held in Declo, Idaho. In lieu of flowers, friends may make contributions to their favorite charity or the Vivian Skaggs Foundation, Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Special Needs Program, 27 C St., Salt Lake City, Utah 84103.

“Relentless” Louisville brings “a great ride” by CSU to a stop LOUISVILLE 82, COLORADO ST. 56

Denver defeats Sacramento 101-95 Saturday night to tie the ABA’s Denver Rockets with its franchise-best 15th consecutive victory. »4C

By Christopher Dempsey The Denver Post

lexington, ky.» This was always somewhat of a free swing: eighth-seeded Colorado State vs. the Goliath of this NCAA Tournament — No. 1 overall seed Louisville. Swing, the Rams did. And missed. The hurricane that is Louisville’s pressure defense blew right through the frazzled Rams on Saturday, eventually swarmed CSU under and led to a season-ending, 82-56 loss for the Rams at Rupp Arena. After winning a game in the tournament for the first time in 24 years, then losing to Louisville, the Rams finished 26-9 — closing an era of CSU men’s basketball that will be remembered as fondly as any four-year period in program history. “I started talking to the team and I just broke down crying,” said CSU coach Larry Eustachy. “That’s how much I’m going to miss these guys that we won’t have back next year. They’re just a special group and I’m very honored to be a part of it.”

Here we go again After enduring awful pitching last year, the Rockies appear content to run with the same rotation

By Patrick Saunders The Denver Post

scottsdale, ariz.» Questions and concerns about starting pitching hover over the Rockies like storm clouds. It’s been that way since the club’s inception in 1993. As the Rockies move into their 21st season, the forecast remains dire — groundhog day, or year, all over again. To the chagrin of fans who watched the Rockies lose 98 games last year, the team stood pat during the offseason, content to run out the same starting pitchers this year hoping they will be better. The Rockies believe openingday starter Jhoulys Chacin, Jorge De La Rosa and Juan Nicasio will stay healthy. They are counting on Jeff Francis to provide innings and stability. They’re confident 6-foot-5 lefty Drew Pomeranz will figure things out. “I believe the talent is there, I really do,” said Rockies pitching coach Jim Wright. “It’s just a matter of putting it all together. I’d like to see what they can do before we start trying to pick up other pitchers.” ROCKIES » 10C

Snow job sweet for U.S. soccer I

went to a World Cup soccer qualifying match, and a World Cup ski event broke out. A champagne powder Friday night in Commerce City. Now we know what a Super Bowl in Denver could look like. Frozen players in white T-shirts and blue shorts were doing snow angels on the pitch. A harmless snowball fight broke out among fans chanting “U-S-A! U-S-A!’’ and “Let It Snow! Let It Snow!’’ Oh, the weather outside was frightful, but the match was so delightful. The U.S. soccer team’s mascot should have been Frosty the Snowman. Was that a red-nosed reindeer on the sideline? Bob the Beerman could have been selling Schnapps. Such wicked weather could be expected in Steamboat Springs in mid-December, but Commerce City in late March?

WOODY PAIGE Denver Post Columnist

The significant regional qualifying match between the U.S. and Costa Rica national teams was reminiscent of the 1984 “Snow Bowl’’ between the Broncos and the Packers at old Mile High Stadium. In a blizzard, the Broncos’ defense scored two touchdowns before the offense had possession, and the Broncos prevailed 17-14. In this implausible winter wonderlandscape at the Rapids’ stadium, the Americans took an insurmountable 1-0 lead in the 16th minute on Clint Dempsey’s ricochet goal, which led to an American celebration of victory and Costa Rican cries of “robbery.’’ PAIGE » 15C

Denver Post Columnist

Iguodala is no Chandler

f the Nuggets open their eyes, they will see the future: Wilson Chandler needs to be a starter for this team. Oh, maybe not this NBA season. But soon. Very soon. No offense to Andre Iguodala. But Chandler is a flat-out better player. He is a more dangerous offensive weapon and a more physical defender. When Chandler scored 24 points to pace a victory over Chicago more than a month ago, I noted Iguodala’s salary was presenting the Nuggets with a thorny problem. Disciples of George Karl, who nod and smile at whatever porridge the coach feeds them, were absolutely horrified by my negativity. Of course, whining is easier than doing your homework. During the first 11 games of March, when Denver has been hotter than any NBA team this side of Miami, Iguodala has averaged 10.0 points and 5.2 rebounds on 41 percent shooting in 35 minutes per game. Chandler has averaged 15.5 points and 4.9 rebounds on 55 percent shooting in 27 minutes. You don’t need a calculator to know which way the wind blows. Analytics — a fancy name for heavy number-crunching — have become all the rage in basketball. This is an intriguing and laudable development. It allows folks who can’t trust their eyes to tell a star from a stiff to discover the difference through numbers. But remember: Statistical calculations are only as good as the data entered, and many geeks can’t even agree on the true value of an assist. Well, dollars and sense provide the essential info when comparing the salaries of Chandler and Iguodala, if your real-life job is NBA general manager. Iguodala: $14.97 million. Chandler: $5.93 million. Even the most loyal Iguodala lovers would be foolish to argue their man is twice as good as Chandler, on the court or in the budget. And general manager Masai Ujiri knows it. The Nuggets could win it all this season. I would put their chances at 5 to 10 percent. With any gumption, Karl would publicly embrace the championship pursuit. In the lineup or on the trade market, Iguodala can be a valuable piece to this team. But Denver isn’t his last stop as an NBA player.

Ravens are welcome to open here Birds on the fly. I heard the reigning Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens might need a place to play their season-opening game of the 2013 NFL season, because of a scheduling conflict with the Orioles. Wouldn’t Denver be the perfect spot? J.C., Monterrey, Mexico Kiz: Broncos safety Rahim “The

Dream” Moore and I are so excited about this idea, we are practically tripping over ourselves to say: Yes! (And, yes, the Ravens are scheduled to play a game in Denver this season.)

Gauging Urlacher’s tank. I don’t think the imposter calling himself Pro Bowl linebacker Brian Urlacher is the same guy. He has lost a lot of what made him a good linebacker. Dennis, loves all-22 NFL video Kiz: Good point. Urlacher ain’t what he used to be. Of course, the same could be said for most of us. But you’re telling me Urlacher couldn’t do as much as Joe Mays did last year for the Broncos? And Mays was paid $3.5 million. Urlacher might be had for half the price.

Popeye’s son, please. I have been a fan of the Nordiques-Avalanche since 1979 and agree with you, Kiz. Having an accountant as the general manager of a hockey team doesn’t work. Peter Stastny was so right when he said the trade with the St. Louis Blues destroyed the Avs. But I would not fire Greg Sherman as GM or Joe Sacco as coach until after the season is done. Would you like to know why? I want the Avs to get Seth Jones as the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft.

where young Seth fell in love with hockey? Right here in Denver. The Avalanche inspired him to lace up the skates. We here at Kickin’ It Headquarters are not very good at grammar, spelling or literary devices. So we’re not sure whether Jones being drafted by the Avalanche would be irony, karma or pure dumb luck. But it certainly would be cool.

Mark it down. Hey, Kiz: When are you going to apologize to Nuggets coach George Karl for your comments about him recently? All he does is take a team with no superstar and win 50-plus games this season. Karl is the NBA coach of the year. Hank, Englewood Kiz: Apologize? Not a chance. But in appreciation for what he has done, I would gladly buy Karl the pizza of his choice. Speaking of appreciation, when are you going to thank me for lighting a fire under Karl and the Nuggets? Their winning streak really took off after I demanded this team earn home-court advantage in the playoffs and get out of the opening round.

Tom’s take. And today’s parting shot is from yet another Avalanche fan who prefers to blame the team’s woes on the Kroenke family ownership rather than the leadership of Pierre Lacroix: I noticed Denver billionaire businessman Phil Anschutz has spent about $45 million trying to lure an NFL team to Los Angeles. Do you suppose you could persuade him to buy out the Avalanche and bring a legitimate NHL team to Colorado?

lead going into the final round. “Just because I’ve won here doesn’t ensure that I’m going to win the tournament,” Woods said. “The conditions are different. The game might be different. But the objective is still to put myself in position to win the golf tournament and somehow get it done on Sunday. Over the course of my career, I’ve done a pretty decent job of that.” Rose had a three-shot lead on the back nine until he crumbled, making three bogeys over the last six holes. He didn’t even make it into the final group. Fowler dropped only one shot on a muggy day with a short burst of showers, closing with a par from the back bunker on the 18th. The last time Fowler and Woods were paired together in the final round was at the Memorial, where Woods closed with a 67 to win and Fowler had an 84. The Associated Press

Kyle Busch extends Joe Gibbs’ streak at Fontana fontana, calif.» Another Nationwide Series race at Fontana, another victory for Kyle Busch and Joe Gibbs Racing. Busch certainly isn’t tired of the same old story. Busch earned JGR’s ninth consecutive Nationwide victory at Fontana on Saturday, comfortably beating Sam Hornish Jr. for his third win in five races this season. Gibbs’ Toyotas haven’t lost a Nationwide race on their unofficial home track since 2007, with Busch, Joey Logano and Tony Stewart navigating the wide, bumpy track with unmatched ease. Through changes in cars, drivers and crew chiefs, JGR has maintained its record streak. Busch pushed ahead late in a back-and-forth duel with Nationwide points leader Hornish’s Ford to win his second straight Nationwide race, wrapping it up when Hornish brushed the wall with two laps to go. “It’s really cool,” Busch said.

“They’re known for having great stuff, but you’ve still got to be able to wheel it. I don’t think we were the best car, but we just chased down that 12 car. Didn’t want to see him win in front of our hometown crowd.” Busch raced to his record Nationwide 54th victory, including six at Fontana, in front of fans from Toyota and other sponsors’ home offices, capping a doubly celebratory day for the winningest driver in Nationwide history. What’s more, Parker Kligerman drove his Kyle Busch Motorsports Toyota to a careerbest fourth-place finish. Regan Smith was third, and Austin Dillon came in fifth ahead of Kyle Larson. “Sam put up a heck of a fight,” Busch said. “Those guys really have something going for them. Sam has brought his game so far this year. We had a lot of good battle back and forth. I thought we put on a great show for the fans.” The Associated Press

orlando, fla.» Tiger Woods is one round away from returning to No. 1 in the world. With key par saves early in his round and an eagle for the third straight day at Bay Hill, Woods seized control Saturday with a 6-under 66 to race by Justin Rose and build a twoshot lead going into the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Woods was at 11-under 205, two shots ahead of Rickie Fowler (67), John Huh (71) and Rose, who at one point was six shots ahead of Woods. Rose had a 39 on the back nine and wound up with a 72. Woods hasn’t been No. 1 in the world ranking since the last week of October 2010. That can change Sunday with a victory on a Bay Hill course where he already has won seven times, and from a position where he hardly ever loses. Woods is 41-2 on the PGA Tour when he has the outright

UNSUNG HEROES Coloradans sporting snofros It is white. It is fluffy as an Afro. Call it a snofro. Denver came of age as a soccer city Friday night. Bravo to 19,374 fans, each one with a snofro on the head, who cheered Team USA’s 1-0 victory against Costa Rica. And props to the stadium’s teams of shovelers. Without them, playing the game would’ve been impossible.

Costa Rica plans to file an official protest with FIFA about Friday’s 1-0 loss to the United States in the snowstorm, according to a Reuters report. A Costa Rica soccer federation official told domestic media the protest would be made Saturday. Costa Rica has 24 hours to file a written protest with FIFA. Plows and shovels were used to clear the penalty areas, center circle and midfield stripe as snow got heavier, and a yellowand-purple ball was used. Ten minutes into the second half, Costa Rica coach Jorge Luis Pinto wanted referee Joel Aguilar and match commissioner Victor Daniel to suspend the game, but U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann

made a case for playing on. Play continued after some heated discussion. Pinto was angry during and after the game. “I asked them to stop. They should suspend the ref,” Pinto said. “It was an embarrassment. It was an insult to Costa Rica and people coming in here.” Pinto said the “legal conditions” for playing were not met, according to Reuters. One other World Cup qualifying match, between Northern Ireland and Russia, was postponed Friday, and again Saturday, because of snow in Belfast. U.S. federation president Sunil Gulati said the referee made the right decision to continue playing Friday. Denver Post wire services

Nuggets extend their win streak to fab 15 By Benjamin Hochman The Denver Post

The last time the Nuggets did this, they weren’t even the Nuggets. On Jan. 25, 1970, the Denver Rockets won their 15th consecutive game, a franchise record that lasted through a name change and a league change, through Moe and Mutombo and Melo. But Saturday night at the Pepsi Center, the current Nuggets matched the streak, tying a franchise record that’s stood six years longer than Andre Miller’s life. It wasn’t easy. And it took a clutch three-point play by Miller to secure the 101-95 win against Sacramento. Denver led by just three points with less than a minute left, when the 37-year-old point guard suddenly streaked to the basket for a quick layup and was fouled. The free throw gave Denver a 97-92 lead, and the Kings couldn’t recover. We definitely can win better,” Nuggets forward Danilo Gallinari said. “We all think we can do something special this year, so we cannot allow ourselves to have bad stretches in these types of games, especially at home. (Coach George Karl) was pretty mad, he was not happy with us. He was saying we can’t allow ourselves to do this, because this is the last stretch before the playoffs.” Yes, perhaps the Nuggets should have smacked around the Kings with ease. Just like the previous game against the 76ers. But the Nuggets found a way to win, with timely contributions of Kosta Koufos, Anthony Randolph and other surprise fourth-quarter contributors. Denver now has 49 wins, third-most in the Western Conference. All five starters scored in double figures, with Gallinari leading the way with 19 points, as well as eight boards, four assists and three steals. The Nuggets were again without their maestro. Friday, point guard Ty Lawson seemed confident he could play through a right heel bruise Saturday. But after a pregame workout, Lawson was ruled out for the Kings game. “We have a different personality without Wilson Chandler (shoulder separation) and Ty that we haven’t found a flow with, especially offensively,” said Karl, who was mad at his team for shooting too many jump shots. “I felt tonight we were fairly atrocious in the second and third quarter.” Miller started in Lawson’s place (11 points, five assists),

Denver’s Kosta Koufos battles for a loose ball with Cole Aldrich of the Sacramento Kings during the second half Saturday night at the Pepsi Center. Karl Gehring, The Denver Post and this time, Karl called on Julyan Stone, not Evan Fournier, to play backup point. It’s been a long road for Stone, who had hip surgery in the summer and played just 11 minutes all season, the last time Jan. 5. But the lanky 6foot-6 floor general played 14 minutes Saturday and had five points and a plus-10 rating. In the previous game at Sacramento, Kings big man DeMarcus Cousins get all DeMarcus Cousins-y with Gallinari, prompting Gallo to say “he said a lot of bad stuff” and that “I’m a lover not a fighter.” Well, Cousins played inspired basketball against Denver this go-round, finishing with 24 points and a gamehigh 15 rebounds. And with Denver down one point heading into the fourth, the home team outscored the visitors 31-24 in the final quarter, en route to the big No. 15. “I’m part of Nuggets history and that’s great. We did something special for this franchise,” Gallinari said. “But what counts is not now, but in the playoffs.”

Nuggets Recap What you might have missed John Salmons has had a couple of big games against Denver before, and the Kings sharpshooter kept Sacramento in Saturday’s game in the second half. He scored 13 points, including three 3s, in the final two quarters. … Denver again cracked the 60s with points in the paint, this time tallying 62 to the Kings’ 48. … JaVale McGee scored 11 points in the first half, but none in the second.

Final thought Making things happen late.

Conference call: Why not just seed Nos. 1 through 16? By Benjamin Hochman The Denver Post

ommissioner George Karl has some ideas. His grand scheme was revealed before Saturday’s game when the Nuggets coach was asked how a division winner (say, the Clippers), can be no lower than a four seed, but if the division-winner’s first-round opponent has a better record, that team gets homecourt advantage. “I don’t know if I like it, but I understand why you do it, because there should be some reward for winning your division,” Karl said. “Even though, there really isn’t.” So he was asked: Do you think you should wipe out divisions and just have conference standings? “I’m even crazier than that,” the Nuggets’ coach said. Oh, yeah? What ya got? “I think you should put all top-16 and do it that way, and then reseed for the next round,” he said.

So basically, here’s Karl’s idea: The top eight teams from the Western Conference and the top eight teams from the Eastern Conference are put into a playoff pool. At this point, conference affiliation no longer matters. Instead, it’s all about record. The team with the best record plays the team with the 16th-best record and so on. And then, like he said, they reseed hockey-style for the next round. And so, the NBA’s “Final Four” could be four teams from the same conference — but, as proven by this system, perhaps the four best teams in basketball. “I think it would get fans excited, man. It would be crazy,” Karl said. “And we travel with private jets now, so I think you can schedule it to where you’d get two days of rest between games. I think it would be really fun and interesting to see the matchups.” So if you were commissioner, you would try to make this happen? Like, for real? “I would advocate it,” he said. “I don’t

know if the Board of Governors would pass it, but I would advocate it.” After George had gone off the map with this idea, I chimed in with a thought — why not just get rid of conferences altogether? Why punish a team that’s ninth or 10th in the West that’s way better than, say, seventh and eighth in the East? Promptly, Chris Marlowe from Altitude suggested that my thought was “Draconian,” and Karl himself said: “I think you’re going off the map.” The coach had one other idea on Saturday. Cut the 82-game season to a 62game season, and then in the middle of the season, “You can take a three-week break and have an NCAA-like tournament. Single elimination is a lot different than a seven-game series.” I’d watch that. Benjamin Hochman: 303-954-1294, bhochman @denverpost.com or twitter.com/nuggetsnews

Playo≠ gear yet to be reached by NBA’s best Red-hot Heat still sees room for improvement By Tim Reynolds The Associated Press

miami» The Miami Heat has won 25 consecutive games, turned what was a super-close Eastern Conference race into a runaway and seems to be finding different ways to prevail on a nightly basis. And no, the Miami players are not particularly thrilled with themselves right now. From the Heat’s perspective, it’s like the team is simultaneously slumping and streaking after facing double-digit deficits in three consecutive games, yet finding ways to win them all, much like each of the 22 games that preceded last week. “I’m taking the world view, that we have room to improve,” forward Shane Battier said. “By no stretch of the imagination are we playing our best basketball right now. We’re winning ballgames, but we have a lot of room for improvement.” Even as Miami moves closer to the NBA-record winning streak of 33 straight set by the Los Angeles Lakers in 1971-72, the bigger concern among Heat players is that they are nowhere near a playoff gear with just 14 games remaining before the postseason arrives. They’ve trailed after five of their past six opening quarters, been losing at halftime in three straight outings and have been outshot in three of their last six contests. The next opportunity to fix some of those issues comes Sunday at home against Charlotte (16-52) — a team that has won two straight, yet is a mere 38 games behind the Heat (5414) in the East standings.

“It’s on the radar, no question about it,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “We need to put together complete games. That’s three games in a row where we haven’t gotten off to that energetic start that we’re looking for. We’ll have an opportunity to get back to it on Sunday.” The latest close call wasn’t exactly all that close. Miami trailed Detroit by 11 points Friday night, before clamping down in the second half and pulling away for a 103-89 win, with LeBron James finishing with 29 points, eight assists and eight rebounds. “We never expect anything to be easy,” James said. But the 17-point deficit at Boston that was followed by the 27-

point lead Cleveland held over the Heat in a most bizarre game Wednesday may be perceived as some warning signs, and the Heat players freely acknowledge they have to be addressed. At the same time, though, to say the reigning NBA champions are nervous about where they are right now would be a gross exaggeration. If the Heat beats Charlotte, the win streak goes to 26. And then yet another road test — the latest big challenge in a month where the Heat plays a schedule loaded with 18 games and almost no practices — awaits, with games every other night starting Monday at Orlando, Chicago, New Orleans and San Antonio.

The basketball gods are up there, Nuggets coach George Karl believes, and now his team’s fans do too, following the second improbable victory of this historic season. First, there was that game at Golden State. Remember that? Just to get to overtime, sharpshooter Klay Thompson had to miss two free throws. Then, in double overtime, the Nuggets trailed by four points with 1:01 left and ended up winning by six on the road. Then came Thursday night at the Pepsi Center. “Mysterious games,” Karl, a longtime believer, said of the impact of the basketball gods. “If you’re fortunate, it’s probably still under 10, but then there are negative years where you give away some games, you stub your toe, referees take one from you. I’ve always felt that when the momentum gets ugly, you have more nightmares. “And then the one’s you get lucky and steal, it comes the same way, things are pumped up with karma. Vince Lombardi said luck is product of hard work and preparation, and I think this team has done a lot of hard work this year.” This is my sixth season covering the Nuggets, and I don’t remember a wackier finish than what happened in the 101-100 victory over Philadelphia on Thursday. If you saw it, cherish the memories. The Nuggets, who stunk all night, trailed by five points with 15 ticks left. Corey Brewer, after slipping, regrouped to knock down a 3-pointer with 9.2 seconds left. Denver fouled, sending Evan Turner, a reliable free-throw shooter, to the line for Philly, still up by two points. Turner missed both. Karl then drew up a nifty play involving a fake handoff and a real handoff to Brewer, who, knowing Damien Wilkins was chasing him, fired a quick 3-pointer while Wilkins crashed into him. The Nuggets are an abysmal free-throw shooting team. Brewer, with 2.1 seconds left, made all three foul shots. Unreal. But it wasn’t over yet. Wilkins hoisted a potential game-winning jumper, but the shot was blocked and the Nuggets somehow produced their 14th consecutive victory. Asked about his favorite part of the victory, Karl said, “There’s no question, the last minute with the defense. To make them call a timeout three times, just denying the entry pass (on out-of-bounds plays) was energizing. And then our pick-and-roll defense, our hands, our defensive aggressiveness when we needed it. And then just the execution of the plays. I thought the spacing of the last play, Corey could have even gotten to the rim.” The Nuggets trailed by eight points with 2:07

SPOTLIGHT ON …

Jrue Holiday, PG, 76ers

Denver’s Corey Brewer celebrates Thursday night at the Pepsi Center after beating the Philadelphia 76ers by making three free throws with 2.1 seconds left. Karl Gehring, The Denver Post remaining. The last time Denver trailed by eight or more points with 2:07 or less and won was Nov. 2, 1999, the first regular-season game played at the Pepsi Center. Games like the one Thursday, on runs like these, are surreal, supernatural. Miami had one during its run, coming back from 27 points down at Cleveland last week to get its 24th consecutive victory. It’s wins like these that make a magical run almost mystical. As for the Heat, its run has just been bonkers. LeBron James should win the MVP award unanimously. Consider this: An average player’s PER (player efficiency rating) is about 15. James is at 30.9. He entered the weekend averaging 26.6 points, and he shoots 55.1 percent (clearly the highest of all nonpost players in the NBA). He also averages 8.2 boards and 7.1 assists. He is a maestro. And, as Karl has said, Miami won the title last

season not just because it had the best player. It also had the best team. “(The Heat) has great trust in each other,” Pistons coach Lawrence Frank told reporters last week. “The way that ball moves from one player to the next, very impressive. Defensively, they’ve always been top shelf. They combine great athleticism, effort, technique, commitment to scheme. You know what they’re going to do and it doesn’t matter, because they put great effort and intensity into it.” But for all of that, sometimes it takes the hand of a basketball god. Good teams are believers. Benjamin Hochman: 303-954-1294, bhochman@denverpost.com or twitter.com/nuggetsnews

“People thought I was crazy,” Andre Iguodala explained. The Nuggets guard, a former 76er, saw the brilliant ability in Holiday even when he was a teenager in the NBA, the league’s first player born in the 1990s. “I’ve been saying from Day One how talented he is, and that he could be one of the best point guards,” Iguodala said. Well, Jrue just might be on the cusp. Of course, Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, Rajon Rondo and Tony Parker make up the grand quartet of NBA floor generals, but is Holiday already fifth at age 22? Shoot, he looked like it during the 76ers game’ at Denver on Thursday, when the skinny guy slithered through the Nuggets, making no-names look like big names, en route to 15 assists, tying a career high. Stats show Holiday handles the ball more than almost any other point guard. Most important, he is efficient. He entered the weekend averaging 18.6 points and 8.7 assists. And in four of the past five games entering the weekend, he tallied 21, 27, 27 and 18 points for the 76ers, who will have to make a huge decision this summer about the future of 7-foot center Andrew Bynum, who’s had more surgeries than Joan Rivers. (That reference still works, right?) But at least they’re good to go at the point.

dallas» When there are two big, fundamental mistakes made on the first shift of the night, it’s kind of tough to get into that “Let’s start the game on time” mentality that Avalanche coach Joe Sacco likes to preach. Then again, bad starts are nothing new to Sacco’s Avs. This season, his team has been outscored 36-19 in the first period, with opponents getting the first goal in nine of the last 10 games and 21 out of 30 overall. This year, the Avs are the equivalent of a 1965, rusted Dodge Dart when it comes to getting good, clean jump-starts. Mistakes right off the hop by David Jones and Ryan O’Byrne helped spell doom for the Avs in their 5-2 loss to the Dallas Stars on Saturday night at American Airlines Arena. The loss dropped the Avs back to 15th place in the Western Conference, with the playoffs entering Jim Mora “Playoffs? Playoffs?” territory. After the game, Avs veteran goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere, who relieved Se-

myon Varlamov early in the second period when it was 4-0, laced into his team’s effort and preparation coming in. “We had a big meeting two or three days ago, a players-only meeting. We talked about some stuff and I thought we had a good response against Dallas at home (Wednesday). Then we have a day off, then come back and practice, and I thought our practice was just awful,” Giguere said. “The effort wasn’t there. We practiced defensive zone coverage, and guys weren’t taking the body and swirling and stuff like that. This is the stuff we have to work on every day. I told a couple of the guys that ‘I don’t think we’ll have a good game today.’ It’s unacceptable. It’s an everyday job. You’ve got to work hard every day. You’ve got to be a lot more desperate than that.” The Avs played a miserable first two periods and trailed 4-0. It started with a Jones giveaway in the Stars’ zone to Derek Roy, followed by a sluggish backchecking job by the forwards the other way. Then, O’Byrne backed off too much

VANCOUVER at COLORADO 6 p.m. Sunday, ALT, 950 AM Spotlight on Roberto Luongo: It looks like the Canucks once again will go into the playoffs — if they make it — with a goaltending controversy. Luongo and Cory Schneider have shared the duties this year. Many thought Luongo would be traded by now. He has played well at times, but his .904 save percentage is his lowest since his rookie season. Adrian Dater, The Denver Post CANUCKS (16-9-6)

That’s a bad turnover in the offensive zone, played poorly on our backcheck,” Sacco said. P.A. Parenteau and Paul Stastny cut the Dallas lead in half with early thirdperiod goals. Then, Aaron Palushaj and Stefan Elliott nearly scored. But the puck stayed out, and Dallas’ 41-year-old Jaromir Jagr salted the game away shortly after with a wraparound shot that was accidentally deflected in off the skate of Elliott. “We have to put all the noise aside and not worry about the standings right now,” Giguere said. “We have to just worry about each individual bringing their ‘A’ game within the system that we have. If we do that, we’ll give ourselves a chance tomorrow. If we don’t do that, it’s going to be the same old story.”

Elliott enduring a rough season By Adrian Dater The Denver Post

dallas» mong the fans at least, there was hope that Stefan Elliott would bypass some of the learning curve of being a top NHL defenseman, that his ascension to one would be more of a straight line. Nope. The young Avalanche defender is experiencing the same ups and downs that befall most in his situation. This season, his second in pro hockey, has been filled with more downs than ups. After a big buildup coming out of junior and a reasonably good first pro season split between the Avalanche and the Lake Erie Monsters, Elliott got off to a horrible start with the Monsters and hasn’t made much of an impact so far in his stints with the Avs. But nobody is ready to give up on the talented 22-year-old, selected in the second round of the 2009 NHL draft by the Avs. Least of all Elliott himself.

“It’s been a little bit of a rough year for me,” said Elliott, whose strong career with the Saskatoon Blades made him the team’s all-time leading scorer among defensemen. “Especially points-wise, it has been. But I finally got out of that a little bit, started to play a little better.” Entering Saturday’s game against the Dallas Stars, Elliott had played six for Colorado this season and was still looking for his first point. He also was a minus-5. He had a couple of bad games with the Avs before his last demotion to Lake Erie, including one in Detroit where he committed two glaring giveaways. He was recalled by the team last week, when Ryan Wilson went back on injured reserve with ankle problems and Tyson Barrie — who otherwise might have been the first defender called up — suffered a slight hip injury. Elliott played well enough against Dallas on Wednesday to earn another start, with coach Joe Sacco saying he “looked more comfortable as the game

went on, and did some good things.” Elliott was the MVP in the Western Hockey League for the 2010-11 season, posting 81 points in 71 games and an amazing plus-62. Elliott was on the preseason list of several pundits for the Calder Trophy last season, but he wound up playing only 39 games for the Avs, with four goals, 13 points and a plus-2. Not bad, but no Calder season.

Footnotes. David Jones and Jamie McGinn were back in the lineup for the Avalanche after being healthy scratches Wednesday. Milan Hejduk got a night off, but could play Sunday against Vancouver. … Greg Zanon was a healthy scratch on defense, with Shane O’Brien returning to the rotation.

NHL Report By Adrian Dater, The Denver Post

Tank about it: Go worst for first

hould the Avalanche tank it to get the best shot at the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft? Publicly, I will say no. Privately? Yes, a thousand times yes. Don’t misunderstand. I am not promoting the throwing of games, of athletes intentionally making bad plays or coaches intentionally benching their best players in key moments of games. That is wrong. But if I am a general manager of a team whose best hope for better days would come from blue-chip draft picks? Sure, I’d sell off some of my better assets at the trade deadline, write off the rest of this season and “engineer” my team the best way possible to get the first pick. Does that make me unethical? Oh, well. It’s sports. Gary Bettman and David Stern have caught on to the possibility of tanking by teams and instituted draft rules over the years so that even the team with the worst overall record is not ensured of getting the No. 1 pick. The Columbus Blue Jackets had the worst record in the NHL last season — nine points behind the nextworst team, Edmonton — but lost the pingpong ball lottery, and the Oilers got the first pick. The Oilers drafted Russian forward Nail Yakupov, who is playing this season. Columbus drafted Ryan Murray, who hasn’t. If the Avs finish last this season, their percentage chance of getting the top draft pick would be only 25 percent. The second-worst team would have an 18.8 percent chance. But the team that finishes last would be guaranteed no worse than the No. 2 pick. The top two picks in this year’s draft are expected to be Portland Winterhawks defenseman Seth Jones and center Nathan MacKinnon of the Halifax Mooseheads, with Halifax left wing Jonathan Drouin also a possibility. Jones, the son of former Nuggets player Popeye Jones who began skating on a tip from Avalanche Hall of Famer Joe Sakic, would be a dream pick for the Avs. He is 6-foot-4 and 206 pounds, and smooth with the puck at both ends. Scouts consider him the best defenseman prospect since Chris Pronger in the 1990s. According to Sportsclubstats.com, the Avs entering Thursday had a 5.8 percent chance of making the playoffs. Last time I checked my math, that wasn’t too good. What would be better for this franchise: Win a few more games and come up five or six points short of the eighth playoff slot? Or tank it the rest of the way and get a possible superstar blue liner for the next 10 to 15 years? Here’s the problem: With players such as Gabe Landeskog, Matt Duchene and Ryan

SPOTLIGHT ON …

Jarome Iginla, RW, Flames

Unfortunately for Avalanche fans, Ryan O’Reilly, left, and Matt Duchene probably won’t have much to celebrate during the NHL playoffs this season. Doug Pensinger, Getty Images O’Reilly, I don’t expect the Avs to fall through the floor the rest of the way. Talented players find ways to help their team win a few games down the stretch. But what is that going to do for the Avs? Lose those games, and they get the best chance at drafting a possible once-in-a-generation defender, a player who could help make them a playoff team for a decade or two. I don’t want players intentionally throwing games. People paying good money to see their team play should see a game of integrity. But let’s not deny the elephant in the room

here: Losing big in the short term can pay off in the long term. The Oilers have four No. 1 picks on their team, and while they are struggling more than I expected this season, they are going to be a great team. All they need is a really good defenseman. Maybe they should tank it too. Adrian Dater: 303-954-1360, adater@denverpost.com or twitter.com/adater

When: The Avalanche makes its final appearance of the season in Alberta on Wednesday night against Iginla and the Calgary Flames. What’s up: Iginla has played for the Flames his entire NHL career, starting in 1996, but he was drafted by the Dallas Stars (11th overall in 1995). He was traded to Calgary for Joe Nieuwendyk. He entered Friday with 524 goals in his NHL career. As has been the case the past couple of years, Iginla’s name is coming up in trade rumors close to the league’s official deadline for deals. Will the Flames finally trade their longtime captain, in a Ray Bourque-type attempt to rebuild and give him an opportunity to win his first Stanley Cup? Background: Iginla’s father is from Nigeria and his mother is from Oregon. Iginla was born in Edmonton, about 183 miles north of Calgary in Alberta. Dater’s take: If I’m Flames general manager Jay Feaster, I go to Iginla and say, “Hey, Jarome, if you would like to go to a contender, we’d be willing to accomodate you. It might be best for both parties that way.” The Flames not only don’t have a great team, they don’t have a lot in their farm system to get excited about. It’s time to blow things up and rebuild. Trading Iginla to a contender would be the smart way to start doing that. Teams such as the Pittsburgh Penguins and Boston Bruins probably would part with a first-round draft pick — and probably more — to get him for the playoff run. Iginla is only 35 and remains a good player. He would be spinning his wheels staying in Calgary. It would be best for his career to get a fresh start somewhere else, before he gets any older.

NFL JOURNAL

Big cornerbacks in style, thanks to Seahawks

By Mike Klis The Denver Post

or the latest in trend setting, the Pacific Northwest has replaced Manhattan and Beverly Hills as the place to gawk. At least in regard to NFL trends. On both sides of the ball. The Seattle Seahawks have received credit for bringing rookie quarterback Russell Wilson into the read-option offensive movement last season. Overlooked is how the Seahawks’ defense also introduced, or brought back into vogue, the big cornerback. With offenses struggling to figure out a way to get their receivers past Seattle cornerbacks Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner, the Seahawks allowed only 15.3 points per game, best in the NFL. “I believe you have to be committed to it,’’ Seattle coach Pete Carroll said at the NFL meetings in Phoenix last week. “I’ve been committed to it since N.C. State a million years ago (more accurately, 1980). It’s just hard to find guys. We’ve been fortunate to find two guys in the same lifetime who play together.’’ Other teams have noticed, including the Broncos, who signed 6-foot-2 Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie in free agency to be their right cornerback. And they hope to find the next “Night Train’’ Lane during the April 25-27 draft. Know this: The Broncos will draft a cornerback, running back and defensive lineman in the first three rounds. Maybe in that order. And when the Broncos scour the tape of draft-eligible cornerbacks, they will pay close attention to players 6-feet or taller. The Seahawks showed the Broncos the way. Sherman is 6-3 and 195 pounds. He brags too much — if he wouldn’t keep proclaiming himself as the NFL’s best cornerback, more people would call him the league’s best corner — but he’s a rare blend of size and man-to-man coverage skills. But he’s not that rare in Seattle. Playing the other corner is Browner, who has corner-outfielder size (6-4, 221) and nine interceptions in the past two seasons. “First off, they’re harder to find than just wanting to do it,’’ Carroll said. “There are not many tall guys that can run fast enough and have enough athleticism to play. I’ve been looking my whole life for these guys. “What it does bring is, if you’re a bump-and-run team, what the tall guys do is they create a bigger obstacle for the wide receivers to get around. That manipulation at the line of scrimmage is what you want as a defensive player, to slow the opportunity for a receiver to get downfield.” If the Broncos draft a running back in the first round, they will probably go for a corner in the second. If they go for a corner in the first round, expect them to draft a running back in the second. At both positions, the Broncos want above-average size. The larger running back candidates are Eddie Lacy, Le’Veon Bell, Christine Michael, Spencer Ware, Stepfan Taylor, Stefphon Jefferson and Montee Ball. The larger cornerback candidates are Xavier Rhodes, Johnthan Banks, Darius Slay, Blidi Wreh-Wilson, David Amerson and Tharold Simon. “Receivers get in their stance and take off downfield, if you let them do that that’s what they want to do,’’ Carroll said. “If you can restrict that, you’re factoring into their ability to perform at a high level.’’ Champ Bailey will play at age 35 this season. It will be almost impossible to replace a corner with 12 Pro Bowl berths, but the Broncos realize that day is coming. If you’re going to eventually replace a corner such as Champ, you may as well go big. Mike Klis: 303-954-1055, mklis@denverpost.com or twitter.com/mikeklis

Waiting game goes on for Elvis By Mike Klis The Denver Post

Most of mankind has been known to experience the type of difficult decision Elvis Dumervil is going through. But eventually the wife finally says the couch looks good over there and life goes on. Dumervil’s decision is no different. Does the free-agent defensive end move his furniture to Baltimore and play for the defending Super Bowl champion Ravens? Or does he let the dust settle for a couple more years in Denver? There was hope, even an expectation, Dumervil would pick the Broncos, the only team he has played for during his seven-year NFL career, or the Ravens on Saturday. The teams have presented their final multiyear contract proposals, give or take a tweak. The offers are close. It’s the recruiting pitches that are different. The Broncos are hoping time heals any resentment Dumervil may feel from tense pay-cut proceedings that got twisted in a fax fiasco, resulting in a deadline termination that caused a do-over in contract negotiations — only this time with a further reduced offer that is more in line with the current, and relatively depressed, freeagent market in the NFL. The Ravens have been pursuing Dumervil like a prized college recruit. Maybe Dumervil will decide Sunday. Broncos fans are aware of the deadline debacle that canceled his contract March 15. Lost in that development: That same day, the Broncos paid out roster bonuses of $1.25 million to cornerback Champ Bailey and $250,000 to safety Mike Adams. The roster bonuses clicked in for Bailey and Adams on the fifth day of the league year, which started at 2 p.m. March 15, the same moment the Broncos terminated Dumervil’s contract to avoid the guarantee on his $12 million salary for 2013. Bailey’s roster bonus is part of the $10.75 million he is to draw in 2013. Adams is scheduled to make $1.75 million in salary.

Cutting-edge news tough to take Saying bye-bye to players also is di∞cult, as NFL coaches doing the releasing know By Jeff Legwold The Denver Post

In the end, page after page of calendars have been ripped away and piles of memories have been collected. Longtime NFL players may have spent all or most of their careers with one team, in one place, their jersey numbers scattered throughout the stadium on game day. But when the end comes, someone has to show them the door. “Most important in a good relationship is the truth, is honesty,’’ said St. Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher. “Whether they agree with you or not, that’s their choice. It isn’t easy.’’ Minnesota Vikings coach Leslie Frazier echoes that sentiment. “They’re proud guys,” he said. “They’ve been very successful in the league. They’ve done a lot for your organization and now you’re telling them their services are no longer needed. It’s a very hard thing, and most of the time they don’t agree with you.’’ There are two options: Make the call on your own to retire, as Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis and Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver did after the 2012 season. Or, as Ed Reed and Brian Urlacher have done after 11 and 13 years with the Ravens and Chicago Bears respectively, enter free agency to extend your career. Defensive end Elvis Dumervil balked when the Broncos told him he no longer was worth what they were paying him. Entering his eighth NFL season, Dumervil is searching for more money in the open market after a contract sna-

The not so few, but still proud Recently, some of the NFL’s high-profile players have been released or traded, or their longtime teams didn’t renew their contracts. Here’s a look: Pos.

fu led to the Broncos cutting him. Super Bowl champion Baltimore, meanwhile, traded 32-year-old wide receiver Anquan Boldin. Fisher moved on from longtime Rams running back Steven Jackson. The list of former Pro Bowl selections looking for new teams is long. NFL teams seem to operate under the premise that releasing a player a year early is better than a year too late. Even Peyton Manning, a quarterback headed to the Hall of Fame, was released when the Indianapolis Colts had the chance to draft Andrew Luck. “It’s one of the toughest things to do sometimes, especially if you think he

may have a little bit left,’’ Frazier said. Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said it’s his responsibility to break such news to the player. “Give the reasons they may not be with you,” he said. “Never cut a person without talking to them. You can’t be afraid to talk to them when you give them the bad news. A lot of people will have somebody else do it. If I release somebody, I’m going to tell him why.’’ Players often talk about using the negative as motivation — criticism as fuel. When a coach sits across from them and tells them it’s over, rarely is the reaction: “You’re right.” It’s why

Hall of Famer Franco Harris became a Seahawk, Johnny Unitas became a Charger, Joe Namath became a Ram and Emmitt Smith became a Cardinal. “It’s tremendously hard,’’ said Broncos coach John Fox. “I listen to (former Secretary of State) Condoleezza Rice talk about, ‘Don’t let today’s decisions be affected by tomorrow’s headlines.’ That’s a hard thing to do, especially when there are loyalties built. “You have teams where maybe a guy has been an eight-year vet for you and done a lot of good things. It’s a hard business. If it was easy, anybody could do it. It’s a young man’s game.’’

Fisher, who was a defensive back and kick returner for the Bears in the 1980s, suffered an ankle injury during training camp for what turned out to be the team’s fabled 1985 run to a Super Bowl championship. He had practiced the final few weeks of the season and into the postseason. He believed he would be ready to play in 1986. A week after the Super Bowl, Bears defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan called him to offer a job as an assistant coach. Ryan had just been hired as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. “(Ryan) said, ‘What are you doing? I want you to come coach with me.’ I said, ‘I think I’m going to play another couple years.’ He said, ‘You getting married?’ I said yeah, and he said, ‘Tell your fiancée she needs to throw you a retirement party.’ That’s how I was told,” Fisher said. Frazier, also a former defensive back, said he didn’t take the news all that well when he was cut, something he tries to remember now when he delivers it. “Did I believe it? No, I thought I could still play, but over time you realize it. It’s not what you want to hear,” Frazier said. “But you’re a young man. It’s not like you’re 65, ready to go into retirement. So it’s tough. You sit there and there is so much of life in front of you. It’s hard to accept that playing won’t be part of it anymore.’’ Jeff Legwold: jlegwold@denverpost.com or twitter.com/jeff_legwold

For starters, mention who’s on the mound

NL West projected starting rotations

Denver Post Rockies beat writer Patrick Saunders breaks down the Rockies’ projected starting rotation for 2013:

The National League West is heavily weighted toward pitching, except in Colorado. Denver Post beat writer Patrick Saunders looks at the NL West rotations, and what the Rockies will be facing this year:

RHP Jhoulys Chacin Returning from a nerve injury in his chest that SPRING STATS left his pitching arm Starts: 3 weak last season, ChaERA: 7.00 cin won the job this Walks: 4 spring as the team’s opening-day starter. He Strikeouts: 9 has a good fastball and Opp. avg.: .333 slider and is working to develop a more reliable changeup. He has the stuff to be a solid front-end pitcher, but lacks consistency. Chacin pitched for Venezuela during the World Baseball Classic.

Arizona Diamondbacks B RHP Ian Kennedy B LHP Wade Miley B RHP Brandon McCarthy B RHP Trevor Cahill B LHP Pat Corbin Comment: The Diamondbacks have landed quality arms at a fraction of the cost spent in L.A. or San Francisco. If Kennedy resembles the pitcher he was in 2011 (21-4, 2.88 ERA), the D-backs will have a true ace. And watch out for Wade Miley (16-11, 3.33), the runner-up to Bryce Harper last year for NL rookie of the year. To be a playoff contender, Arizona must have another starter blossom, and avoid injuries. 2013 combined salaries: $16.2 million Highest paid: Cahill, $5.7 million

LHP Jeff Francis

The veteran has exSPRING STATS panded his repertoire Starts: 4 to include two differERA: 1.96 ent curveballs and is Walks: 2 utilizing his cut fastball more. The wily Strikeouts: 10 Francis, mixing and Opp. avg.: .239 matching speed and location, has had a terrific spring, holding opponents scoreless in 18 of 19 innings. Trouble comes when Francis’ command is just a hair off, then he gets hammered.

LHP Jorge De La Rosa

Almost two years reSPRING STATS moved from Tommy Starts: 3 John elbow surgery, ERA: 2.84 this is a make-or-break Walks: 8 year for De La Rosa, who is the highestStrikeouts: 13 paid Rockie ($11 milOpp. avg.: .217 lion). He opened the spring looking erratic and flustered on the mound, but his last two starts were much better. When he has command of his off-speed pitches, De La Rosa is very good. But that pitcher’s been gone a long time.

RHP Juan Nicasio

Colorado Rockies

ROCKIES «FROM 1C In other words, the Rockies are staking their faith on five pitchers who were a combined 13-26 last year. The top three starters — Chacin, De La Rosa and Nicasio — combined to make only 28 starts. Injuries, inexperience and lack of talent contributed to the pitching meltdown last year. The Rockies used 14 starting pitchers, and their 5.71 ERA was the worst in the majors, as was their .304 batting average against. But the Rockies’ pitching issues go deeper than one disastrous season. For years, management has failed to draft and develop enough young arms to supply the big-league club with more than hope coming out of spring training. Despite the installation of the humidor in 2002, used to help create a level playing field, Coors Field remains a nightmare for Rockies pitchers. To reverse the tide, first-year Rockies manager Walt Weiss is determined to turn his pitchers into groundball machines. Also, the Rockies hired pitching guru Mark Wiley to coordinate pitching at all levels of the organization. Clearly, the club is looking for fresh ideas.

Memorize the “Rockies Absolutes”

There is no questioning SPRING STATS Nicasio’s powerful arm. Starts: 4 His fastball reached 98 ERA: 5.28 mph this spring and Walks: 7 was consistently 93 to 96 mph. But until he Strikeouts: 13 learns to consistently Opp. avg.: .295 harness his slider and changeup, he will remain a work in progress and a question mark as a starter. He has to evolve into a more polished pitcher.

LHP Drew Pomeranz

The centerpiece of the SPRING STATS 2011 Ubaldo Jimenez Starts: 4 trade has been workERA: 5.50 ing on his mechanics Walks: 7 ever since he joined the Rockies. He’s reStrikeouts: 13 gained velocity on his Opp. avg.: .353 fastball (it’s back up to 93 mph), but continues to struggle maintaining the same delivery, pitch after pitch. He has a good changeup and a nice curveball, but tends to leave his fastball up, and that’s when he gets raked.

On a bulletin board inside the Rockies’ clubhouse at Salt River Fields is a chart detailing each pitcher’s ratio of inducing groundballs in Cactus League games. Getting one groundball out for every flyball out is considered excellent. The Rockies’ goal is to reach at least 95 percent. On another chart is the pitchers’ strike percentage. They are expected to throw strikes at least 65 percent of the time. Francis and Pomeranz are well above the line; De La Rosa, Chacin and Nicasio have yet to reach it. In the bullpen areas on the back fields, parallel lines of string extend across home plate, with the top string at knee level, and the bottom string 6 inches lower. This is the pitcher’s target area. Weiss and his coaches have labeled the goals “Rockies Absolutes,” and Weiss reminds the team about them every day. “This is about establishing an identity,” Wright said. “We have to keep the slow drip going, as Walt likes to call it, and hit them with it every day. Ingrain it. We want them throwing low in the strike zone, working fast and pitching inside.” The Rockies have concluded that this is the only way to succeed at Coors Field, where the team’s starting pitchers finished with a 6.70 ERA and won only 20 games in 2012. “We simply have to get a lot better pitching at home,” said Bill Geivett, the Rockies’ director of major-league operations. “And I think that will translate to us pitching better on the road too.” The plan might seem obvious and simplistic, but Francis said the “absolutes” are paying off. “These are pillars of what a major-league pitcher is supposed to be,” Francis said. “We are not reinventing anything, we are just putting an emphasis on it. It’s helping me. It’s almost making my job simpler. If you get the ball down, there is a better chance (batters) are going to hit the ball on the ground.”

Drafts have been dreadful While the Rockies have had some success signing Latin American pitchers such as Chacin and Ubaldo Jimenez, their drafts under general manager Dan O’Dowd have produced a litany of busts over the past 13 years. First-round pitching prospects such as Greg Reynolds, Chaz Roe, Casey Weathers and Tyler Matzek were huge disappointments, symbolizing the team’s many draft failures. Enter Wiley, who is in his 44th year of professional baseball. He was hired to helped upgrade

One yucky year The Rockies’ starting pitchers combined for a 29-68 record and a 5.81 ERA last season, the second-worst ERA in team history. A breakdown of every pitcher who made a start: Opp. Pitcher Starts Rec.

the Rockies’ success rate at drafting and developing pitchers. His official title is director of pitching operations, which means he will oversee pitching throughout the organization and also will help with the June draft. “My role is as a sounding board for all different levels of the organization, from the amateur draft, to free agency, to trades, to the way we develop minor-leaguers,” said Wiley, whose experience includes 17 years as a big-league pitching coach. “I’ll have a hand in anything that has to do with pitching. Not that I have final say, but I’ll have a say.” Wiley has walked into a difficult situation. Francis, for example, led the Rockies’ pitching staff with 113 innings last season even though he didn’t make his first start until June 9. Yet Wiley disagrees with the idea that the Rockies’ pitching cupboard is bare of talent. “I think that’s way too harsh,” he said. “Every team has periods where they have young talent waiting to develop. That is the case here.” Wiley worked for the Rockies from 2006-07 as a special assistant. He left to become the Marlins’ pitching coach in 2008, then stayed on in Florida as a special assistant after he was fired as a coach. Last year, he watched from afar as the Rockies imploded. “It was kind of ridiculous what happened to them with injuries,” Wiley said. “You can’t lose that many guys and have any success. When you have multiple guys who haven’t established themselves in the big leagues, it’s going to be very tough to win.” Now, after seeing what he has to work with this spring, Wiley is convinced the Rockies’ pitching will be much improved. “If these guys come together in a decent way, they are going to be way better than last year,” he said. “It won’t even be close.” Geivett also has the optimism that spring breeds, but he knows that only victories will convince skeptics that the Rockies — who are 50 games under .500 covering the past two seasons — know what they’re doing. “We feel confident, but at the same time, we have a lot to prove with our pitching, and even more so with our whole club,” Geivett said. “We are coming off 98 losses. You can pick and choose different aspects of your team to talk about, but the bottom line is you win and lose as a ballclub. That goes for all of us.” Patrick Saunders: 303-954-1428, psaunders@denverpost.com or twitter.com/psaundersdp

B RHP Jhoulys Chacin B LHP Jeff Francis B LHP Jorge De La Rosa B RHP Juan Nicasio B LHP Drew Pomeranz Comment: By any measure — the starters’ 5.81 ERA, the junked four-man rotation, the big leaguerecord 657 innings piled on the bullpen, the injuries — Colorado’s 2012 starting pitching was a disaster. Assuming the staff stays healthy, things are bound to get better. But Chacin is not a true ace, De La Rosa remains a wild card, Francis is a finesse pitcher and Nicasio and Pomeranz are raw and unproven. 2013 combined salaries: $15.1 million Highest paid: De La Rosa, $11 million

Los Angeles Dodgers B LHP Clayton Kershaw B RHP Zack Greinke B RHP Josh Beckett B RHP Chad Billingsley B LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu Comment: The Dodgers have put together one of the best rotations money can buy, signing Greinke to a $147 million, six-year contract and signing Ryu out of South Korea for six years and $36 million. Kershaw probably is the best pitcher in the National League and there is a ton of depth, but both Greinke and Billingsley have elbow issues that bear watching. 2013 combined salaries: $61.3 million Highest paid: Greinke, $19 million

San Diego Padres B LHP Clayton Richard B RHP Edinson Volquez B RHP Jason Marquis B LHP Eric Stults B RHP Tyson Ross Comment: The biggest offseason change for the Padres was their decision to dramatically alter their notoriously pitcher-friendly ballpark. The right-field wall was moved in 11 feet. In right-center and left-center, the walls were moved in 12 feet. San Diego hitters are celebrating, but Volquez and Stults will have to induce more groundball outs. 2013 combined salaries: $14.9 million Highest paid: Volquez, $5.725 million

San Francisco Giants B RHP Matt Cain B LHP Madison Bumgarner B RHP Tim Lincecum B LHP Barry Zito B RHP Ryan Vogelsong Comment: The defending World Series champions return their entire, formidable rotation. Lincecum, a two-time Cy Young Award winner who pitched out of the bullpen to help secure the title last fall, has vowed a comeback season. But it’s Cain who is the true ace. He has pitched at least 200 innings in each of the last six seasons. Since 2009, only Clayton Kershaw, Felix Hernandez and Roy Halladay have a lower ERA than Cain’s 2.93 mark. 2013 combined salaries: $69 million Highest paid: Lincecum, $22.25 million Patrick Saunders, The Denver Post

De La Rosa scratched from start in precautionary move

A tight forearm is “no big deal” to the veteran left-hander, but it bears watching regardless. By Patrick Saunders The Denver Post

scottsdale, ariz.» When it comes to veteran left-hander Jorge De La Rosa, the Rockies can never be too careful. The club scratched De La Rosa from his scheduled Cactus League start against the Padres on Saturday night because of tightness in his left forearm. However, trainer Keith Dugger said the move was precautionary and De La Rosa is scheduled to pitch two innings in a minor-league game Sunday. The tightness occurred after De La Rosa’s start last Monday, forcing him to push his bullpen

session back a day. Right-hander Jeff Manship, who pitched for the Twins from 2009-12, started Saturday’s game in De La Rosa’s place. Though De La Rosa called the tight forearm “no big deal,” it bears watching. He had Tommy John elbow surgery in June 2011 and forearm tightness arose last season as he began throwing again. De La Rosa will make $11 million this season, making him the highest-paid player on the Rockies’ roster. After a rough early spring, he has pitched well in his last two starts, allowing one run and six hits in nine innings while striking out 10 and walking four. Right-hander Jhoulys Chacin, the Rockies’ opening-day starter, was scratched from his start Friday because of lower-back spasms. He tweaked the back while

lifting weights Thursday. He was scheduled to pitch two innings Saturday night. “I’m fine,” Chacin said. “I just felt something in my (lower) back. It was a little sore, but it’s fine.”

Footnotes. Former Broncos safety John Lynch was a guest of the Rockies at Saturday’s game and chatted with Todd Helton during batting practice. Lynch’s son, Jake, got to shag flyballs in right field during batting practice. Lynch and Helton are close friends with Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning. ... Firstyear hitting coach Dante Bichette and Rockies special assistant Vinny Castilla, former members of the Blake Street Bombers, took their cuts during batting practice. Each parked a couple of pitches, with Bichette launching a shot halfway up the berm beyond left field.

MLB JOURNAL

Dodgers wasting spending spree? By Troy E. Renck The Denver Post

scottsdale, ariz.» he Dodgers aren’t the 2012 Marlins. Let’s be honest, the similarities are chilling. Florida “won” the 2011 winter, going all in on manager Ozzie Guillen, shortstop Jose Reyes and pitchers Mark Buehrle and Heath Bell. The Marlins had a new stadium, a new vision and new problems. Spending inflates expectations, increases pressure. The Marlins turned into a dumpster fire the moment Guillen praised Cuban leader Fidel Castro. The owner responded to his underwhelming team by betraying fans who helped pay for his new jewel of a ballpark. He held an offseason yard sale featuring everything but a car on blocks in the driveway. While skepticism surrounded the Marlins’ reinvention a year ago, no one questions the Dodgers’ commitment to winning. Right now, it appears more like a commitment to spending, however. The Dodgers look much better in a fantasy league than reality. The parts don’t fit, and that was before Hanley Ramirez was sidelined for two months with a thumb injury while he was playing third base in the World Baseball Classic. Ramirez is trying to transition back to shortstop and spent zero time there this spring. He will hit again, but keeping him in the middle of the infield marginalizes his value. Left fielder Carl Crawford could be a catalyst, a perfectly cast National League player. Yet his elbow still isn’t right. Josh Beckett is a fourth or fifth starter at this point, and if Adrian Gonzalez’s power doesn’t return, he’s simply a better version of James Loney from a few years ago. Did I mention that Zack Greinke’s elbow is barking? The Dodgers are living in a new tax bracket, feeling the scrutiny that usually follows the Yankees. Many will root against them simply because of their bank account. The problem the Dodgers will face is the ability to iron out the wrinkles. They are now strapped with bad contracts, complicating trades and roster moves. They will pitch well, but if Greinke and Chad Billingsley can’t stay healthy, this is not a playoff team.

Catching a break. All signs point toward backup catcher Yorvit Torrealba breaking camp with the Rockies. He can become a free agent Friday if he has another big-league job. Colorado is shopping Ramon Hernandez, looking to eat a huge chunk of his remaining $3.2 million for a prospect. Hernandez fits a contender better, such as the Royals, Rays and Phillies, and Torrealba will provide the ideal mentor for Wilin Rosario. Court of opinion. When Milwaukee star Ryan Braun avoided a 50-game suspension last spring because of a violation of protocol with his drug test sample, Major League Baseball was furious. The suits issued a news release that may as well have been written in tears from a jilted lover. The anger has been redirected this spring toward the shuttered Biogenesis clinic in South Florida, and more specifically Braun and Alex Rodriguez, another player MLB believes has lied about PED use. MLB filed a lawsuit Friday against Biogenesis, alleging it “had intentional and unjustified tortious in interference with contracts’’ between MLB and the Major League Players Association. This is almost impossible to prove, especially since most believe the most vital Biogenesis documents have been shredded. MLB can, of course, subpoena phone and mail records, but most of those drugs appear hand-delivered. Why bother filing a lawsuit, since it seems a waste of time and money? After the proliferation of performanceenhancing drugs that stained the record book, MLB never wants to appear complicit in this culture again. The sport has the money, so filing is its prerogative, even if it feels like grandstanding. The subplot is how Braun has replaced Barry Bonds as the sport’s pariah. Bonds beat the feds, mountains of evidence and man hours turning hollow with a pointless conviction for lying. MLB wants Braun punished, and to a lesser degree A-Rod, though injuries and age have all but ended his career. I’d rather see more time and effort devoted to detecting cheats than dragging through slop in a frivolous lawsuit. Troy E. Renck: 303-954-1294, trenck@denverpost.com or twitter.com/troyrenck

Baseball Briefs HALLADAY SAYS HE’S READY FOR SEASON START

Award winner will miss the entire exhibition season because of a lack of arm strength and will start the season on the disabled list.

clearwater, fla.» Roy Halladay said he felt great. The results said otherwise. Pitching in a minorleague spring training game Saturday morning, Halladay retired only seven of the 18 hitters he faced in a four-inning start against the Blue Jays’ Triple-A team from Buffalo. Afterward, the Phillies ace declared himself “ready” for the season. “I felt strong. I was surprised,” Halladay said after his first outing since leaving a start six days earlier against Baltimore because of a stomach virus. “I thought I was going to be a little wobbly, leg-wise and stuff. But I felt good. I felt like I could have easily thrown 100-plus pitches. So from that standpoint, I’m pretty happy. Arm felt great. No soreness.” Halladay is still scheduled to start the Phillies’ second game of the regular season, April 3, in Atlanta. He said that based on how he felt Saturday, he saw no reason to alter that schedule.

Lowdown on Lohse. The Rockies have always had interest in Kyle Lohse — and they’ve done homework on him recently. The shock would be Lohse showing interest. The Rockies are a noncontender playing at Coors Field. The only way to convince Lohse to anchor the staff would be to dramatically overpay for him. That has not been Colorado’s business model since 2000. (See Hampton, Mike.) If Lohse has no other offers, could he end up a Rockie? That’s the only scenario where it plays out. Agent Scott Boras disputed the idea that Lohse’s value has dropped, telling USA Today “his value only rises, because there’s a greater

need now. The demand for him is created by attrition when teams learn that their younger pitching can’t meet their need.’’ The Rangers, Brewers and Yankees make the most sense. Lohse finds himself in limbo as a victim of baseball’s new collective bargaining agreement. The Cardinals made him a qualifying offer, so any team that signs Lohse loses a draft pick — the currency in today’s game — and money in the amateur draft pool.

st. paul, minn.» Wisconsin left the WCHA with quite a souvenir. Now the Badgers need four more wins to get a bigger prize that seemed so improbable last month. Nic Kerdiles had a goal and an assist to help Wisconsin hang on to beat Colorado College 3-2 on Saturday night in the WCHA championship game, giving the Badgers the Broadmoor Trophy, their sixth consecutive victory and an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. “We are where we are today because of those lessons that we learned,” coach Mike Eaves said, referring to the 2-7-5 start his team endured.

DU expects NCAA bid when bracket is unveiled Sunday Pioneers have played in the national tournament five consecutive years. By Mike Chambers The Denver Post

The University of Denver hockey team almost certainly will receive an NCAA Tournament berth, its sixth straight and 24th since 1958. The Pioneers (20-13-5), who were eliminated from their conference tournament by Colorado College, will get an at-large bid when the 16team national field is unveiled Sunday (ESPNU, 7 p.m.). Regardless of Saturday’s conference tournament championship games and Sunday’s Central Hockey League Association

gers stayed ahead the entire evening to end the season for the Tigers (18-19-5). Both teams needed to win to move on because their records aren’t strong enough for an at-large spot in the 16-team field. Colorado College, the eighth seed in the playoffs, also was riding all the March momentum it could muster to try to reach the NCAA tournament. The Tigers, also in their last weekend as a member of the league, won four in a row to get to the title game. But they ran out of steam in their sixth game in nine days. When Wisconsin and Minnesota join the Big Ten later this year, Colorado College goes to the new National Collegiate Hockey Conference with fellow WCHA foes Denver, St. Cloud State, North Dakota, NebraskaOmaha and Minnesota-Duluth. “This is such a big-time tournament. I’m glad we were a part of it and represented ourselves and our school well,” Tigers coach Scott Owens said. “Nobody should be hanging their head.”

playoff final between Notre Dame and Michigan, the Pioneers will play on. They likely will be assigned a No. 3 seed at one of four regionals: Providence, R.I. (East), Manchester, N.H. (Northeast), Toledo, Ohio (Midwest) or Grand Rapids, Mich. (West), and open Friday or Saturday against a No. 2 seed. DU is second in national strength-of-schedule, behind Colorado College. In the past five years, DU is 1-5 in the NCAA Tournament, advancing to the quarterfinals only once. The Pioneers were 8-0 in winning the 2004 and 2005 NCAA championships, then failed to advance to the national field in 2006 and 2007. They are 27-19 all time and are tied with North Dakota for sec-

ond among all schools with seven national titles, two behind Michigan. Losing the three-game conference playoffs series to CC could be a blessing in disguise. The Pioneers have only 18 available forwards and defensemen, and senior center Shawn Ostrow and sophomore defenseman Josiah Didier missed two of the three games against CC with lower-body injuries. DU won the 2004 NCAA title after being upset by CC in the first round of the league playoffs, and Pioneers coach George Gwozdecky hopes that same situation unfolds.

WORLD CUP SOCCER

Global power? U.S. is striking out By John Henderson The Denver Post

commerce city » The news startled longtime couch potatoes. Fans who envelop themselves in the football-basketball-baseball trifecta on the American sports calendar couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw the statistics. In the state of Washington, youth soccer players outnumbered youth baseball players in a trend experts said would sweep the country. Soccer was the future sport of America. Soon America would be a world soccer power. That was 1979. It’s nearly a generation later and experts were right — sort of. More kids play youth soccer (3 million in 2011) than Little League (ages 4-18) baseball (2 million). But the prediction (hope?) that this would translate into painting the global game in stars and stripes has left Nostradamus howling in his grave. The U.S. men’s soccer team has reached the World Cup quarterfinals only once. This country of 314 million is ranked 33rd in the world, one slot behind Hungary (10 million). Only Friday night’s 1-0 snowball victory over Costa Rica at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park kept the U.S. team out of last place in CONCACAF qualifying for Brazil 2014. Second-year German coach Jurgen Klinsmann calls this a transitional period for U.S. soccer. He’s folding in new talent and ushering out some of the old. But where are his young phenoms? Where are the players whose posters adorn kids’ walls not only in California but in England and Italy? “We’re lacking in the creativity,” said Marcelo Balboa, a defender on the U.S. team from 1988 to 2000 and an analyst for Colorado Rapids games. “We’re lacking in the youth game. We’re telling our kids to pass the ball, pass the ball. The most natural thing for a kid to do is dribble. “If he has that confidence to dribble, you let him dribble.” But why can’t Johnny shoot? In an embarrassing three-games-andout performance at the 2006 World Cup, U.S. players scored one goal. In reaching

Karl Gehring, The Denver Post the 2010 quarterfinals, they scored five goals in four games but needed a brain lock by goalkeeper Robert Green to tie England 1-1, and needed Landon Donovan’s goal in stoppage time to beat Algeria 1-0 and advance. It’s no coincidence that in the past two World Cups, Donovan has scored three of the six goals and Clint Dempsey two. Donovan is the nation’s all-time leading scorer with 49. Dempsey — who, no surprise, has scored the only two goals in two games of this CONCACAF qualifying — is third with 32. Not that Donovan’s current selfimposed exile was necessary, but he recently spent 10 days in the one place that would get him as far as possible from the burden of carrying U.S. soccer fortunes: Cambodia. Donovan and Dempsey could use some help. Where is it? “I don’t know if we don’t have those big-time strikers, because we do,” Bal-

boa said. “Now how do you translate that from a club team to a national team?” That’s the key question. Jozy Altidore, 23, long known as the next great American star, has scored 25 goals for Holland’s AZ Alkmaar, a season record for an American in Europe. Yet he has scored only 13 goals in 55 games for the U.S. since 2007. Brian McBride scored 37 goals for Everton and Fulham from 2003-08. His relatively modest 30 goals for the U.S. from 1993-2006 rank fourth all time. “It’s not the same team,” said Alexi Lalas, a U.S. defender from 1991-98 and now an ESPN soccer analyst. “It’s apples to oranges. The players you have around you, the system, the comfort level that you have at the club level, people automatically think it should translate to the national team. “That’s not how it works.” It has with Dempsey.

old from Nacogdoches, Texas, is starring in England’s Premier League. He has scored five goals in limited action for London’s Tottenham Hotspurs this season after scoring 50 for Fulham. Liverpool is hot after his services. The difference between soccer in the U.S. and England is wider than the ocean that separates them. “There’s better development over there,” Dempsey said. “There’s a better quality of coaches because it’s where one of the best leagues in the world is and they have the systems in place. This is a sport where we’re trying to develop the young talent. It’s difficult because it’s such a huge country. It’s hard to reach kids who can’t afford to play club ball.” But Major League Soccer is making inroads. In 2007, MLS teams started youth academies similar to ones in Europe that drew Lionel Messi from Argentina to Barcelona when he was 13.

Bitter cold and blowing snow didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of soccer fans Friday night, when the U.S. national team beat Costa Rica 1-0 in World Cup qualifying. Karl Gehring, The Denver Post

PAIGE «FROM 1C It was somewhat strange that the match was played. The Rapids’ home opener this season was postponed because of snow, and another World Cup qualifier in Belfast, between Ireland and Russia, was snowed out Friday night (and again Saturday). Wimps. Obviously, the Costa Ricans weren’t eager to participate, even though manager Jorge Luis Pinto had told “Al Dia’’ newspaper Thursday that the predicted snow “will not affect our performance.’’ Yet, in the second half, he demanded that the match be stopped. Referee Joel Aguilar interrupted play briefly, then ordered the match to resume. Afterward, Pinto said the match was “an embarrassment’’ and “disgraceful’’ to soccer. One player tweeted it was “vulgar.’’ I disagree. The match was a hoot. Sports are supposed to be played in the “elements.’’ (The temperature for the Mexico-Honduras match Friday soared above 100.) Was Pinto expecting 7-6? Soccer matches generally are 1-0. Besides, the U.S. deserved a “home-snow’’ advantage. As in Green Bay. Or Sweden. Saturday the Costa Rica team was planning a protest of the match to FIFA, the international governing body, stating that conditions were unplayable. Wrong. The grounds crew (with occasional assistance from American players) kept the lines visible. An NFL game, or an Iditarod, wouldn’t have been called off. If the match had been played in Costa Rica’s National Stadium (a $100 million gift from China), could the Americans have protested because of heat, humidity, mosquitoes and sloth interference? No. Costa Rican players were outraged, declaring they would have beaten the U.S. under normal

SERVICES • Bath Remodels • Kitchen Remodels • Painting • Lighting

circumstances. Both teams had the same conditions, and it’s not as if the Americans play in blizzards regularly. Players on both sides were sliding, slipping and disappearing in the red, whiteout and blue. Call me a homer, but if the protest is upheld, FIFA officials have some explaining to do. Everybody knew when the contest was scheduled in Colorado, there could be “unique’’ weather. The match was played here so the U.S. could prepare for Tuesday’s high-altitude match in Mexico. And, as it turned out, the United States needed this victory in the worst way to stay in the chase to qualify for next year’s World Cup. The result placed the Yanks second in the sixteam region. Besides, the event Friday night was a shining moment for American soccer and its advancement in Colorado. The Rapids’ MLS championship, the league’s All-Star Game in Commerce City and Friday night’s “Snow Globe’’ were three of the most memorable moments in the state’s soccer history. The assemblage, especially the thousands of young people (and one old-school sportswriter), was thoroughly entertained and enthralled. I’ve covered World Cup qualifiers and the Finals before, and hadn’t experienced such a grand soccer time since Brazil beat Italy nil-nil (in a shootout) at the 1994 Finals at the Rose Bowl. His hair covered in snow as he stood amid the storm, Rapids president Tim Hinchey was rejoicing, and U.S. Soccer Federation president Sunil Gulati was observing: “Probably not like any other game we’ve witnessed.’’ Afterward the U.S. players autographed a shovel for the groundskeepers, and the Costa Rica players were shoveling their own stuff. It was a wacky, weird, unforgettable night of snowccer.

KANSAS 67, COLORADO 52

Rock Chalk shock, KU defeats CU By Terry Frei The Denver Post

boulder» The State of Colorado’s March Madness — at least on the Division I NCAA tournament level — ended in shocking fashion Saturday at the Coors Events Center. In a game that awakened echoes of a long-time rivalry from their days as Big Eight and Big 12 opponents, the Kansas Jayhawks, seeded only 12th in the Norfolk Region, knocked off fifthseeded Colorado 67-52 on the Buffaloes’ home floor in the first round of the women’s NCAA Tournament. CU jumped out to a 14-4 lead, but ended up shooting only 25 percent from the floor, trailed by 10 at halftime and twice by 20 in the second half. Freshman forward Arielle Roberson had 11 points and 12 rebounds for the Buffs, but she was only 3-for-13 from the floor, and guard Chucky Jeffery also had a terrible shooting game, going 2-for-16 and finishing with eight points. “We didn’t want it to end this early and it’s kind of sad, this being my last game,” said Jeffery, the senior from Colorado Springs who leaves as the program’s sixth-leading career scorer. “But I wouldn’t have gone through this season with any other team than the girls I stood next to.” So in a span of a little more than 24 hours, the CU and CSU men’s teams, plus the Buffaloes’ women, heavily favored to advance to the second round, all were eliminated from NCAA postseason play. Kansas (19-13) will face the fourthseeded South Carolina Gamecocks, 7452 winners over South Dakota State in Saturday’s first game, in the second round Monday night in Boulder. Colorado finished 25-7, and the loss to the Jayhawks was the Buffaloes’ first of the season to a team not ranked among the nation’s top 25. The Buffs’ other losses came to Pac-12 opponents Stanford (three), California (two) and UCLA (one). The seventh and seasonending loss came to a Kansas team that went only 8-10 in Big 12 play. “The thing I like is that we put the program back on the map,” CU’s thirdyear coach, Linda Lappe, said of the season. “That’s important. It’s important for me, being a former player here.” But on Saturday, the Buffs were dominated after the opening minutes. “You have to give Kansas a lot of credit,” Lappe said. “They came in, they fought, they were tough, they executed their offense very well. We just didn’t have enough on the defensive or

boulder» South Carolina coach Dawn Staley has three Olympic gold medals, earned as the Americans’ star point guard, and she is continuing to advance her reputation as one of the top women’s college basketball coaches. Saturday, Staley’s Gamecocks, the No. 4 seed in the Norfolk (Va.) Regional and ranked 14th in the country, routed South Dakota State 74-52 in a NCAA Tournament first-round game at the Coors Events Center. South Carolina got 15 points apiece from senior forward Ashley Bruner and senior guard Ieasia Walker. The Gamecocks led 44-26 at halftime and coasted through the second half, securing a spot in Monday’s 7:30 p.m. second-round game against Kansas. The Gamecocks (25-7) were coming in off a loss to Texas A&M in the Southeastern Conference Tournament. “It was a game in which it was win or go home,” Staley said of the opening-round victory. “When the stakes are that high, nerves set in. We wanted to come out and play well, and we did that.” South Dakota State, the 13thseeded team in the regional bracket and the champion of the Summit League regular season and tournament, finished 25-8. The Jackrabbits won the NCAA Division II championship in 2003 before moving up a level. This was their fifth consecutive appearance in the Division I tournament, and their only victory came in 2009’s first round against Texas Christian.

Briefs PITT SIGNS DIXON TO 10-YEAR EXTENSION pittsburgh» Jamie Dixon isn’t going anywhere but back to work. The Pittsburgh head coach signed a 10-year contract on Saturday that could keep him with the Panthers well into the next decade. The deal comes after speculation surfaced USC was targeting Dixon, a Southern California native, for its open job. “Pitt and Pittsburgh are home,” Dixon said in a statement. “My family and I feel blessed to be part of such a great institution and wonderful city. It is the people who truly make a place special. I could not be surrounded by better players, staff and administration.” Dixon is 262-86 in 10 years at Pitt and has the highest winning percentage of any coach in Big East history. The Panthers went 24-9 this season, including 12-6 in their final year in the league before heading to the ACC this summer. Despite the gaudy conference record, Pitt was given a No. 8 seed by the NCAA selection committee, the school’s lowest since 2005. While the players expressed dismay over the seeding, Dixon pressed onward. Still, the Panthers were thoroughly outplayed by Wichita State in a 73-55 loss, the program’s worst in the tournament in 20 years.

Gonzaga first No. 1 to exit tournament NO. 9 WICHITA STATE 76, NO. 1 GONZAGA 70 By Lynn DeBruin The Associated Press

salt lake city» Gonzaga’s gone. Cleanthony Early and Ron Baker scored 16 points apiece and Wichita State hit 14 3-pointers, including seven straight late, to knock the top-ranked and No. 1 seeded Bulldogs out of the NCAA tournament 7670 on Saturday. The Shockers (28-8) advanced to the Round of 16 for the first time since 2006, while Gonzaga becomes the first top seed to be eliminated. Gonzaga survived a scare in the second round against Southern but couldn’t hold up against a fellow mid-major from Kansas whose motto is “play angry.” The Shockers face the winner of Sunday’s game between La Salle and Ole Miss. Wichita State had the Zags down 13 early. Though Gonzaga (32-3) fought back, the barrage of 3s was too much for the small school from Spokane, Wash. Kelly Olynyk scored 26 points to lead Gonzaga, and Kevin Pangos had 19. One thing is sure: Wichita State was not intimidated. “They never quit,” Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall said. “You know we got the big lead, Gonzaga makes a great run as a No. 1 team in the country would, and these guys dig down.” Shockers, for sure. They showed their grit after Gonzaga’s 12-0 run gave the Bulldogs a 49-41 lead with 11:53 left. Back-to-back 3pointers by Kevin Pangos and Michael Hart started it, Olynyk hit a jumper, then a pair of free throws, and Pangos capped it with a steal and fast-break layup. But Wichita State outscored the Zags 35-21 from there. Tekele Cotton, Early and Baker hit three straight 3s to get the Shockers within 61-60. Baker’s free throws gave Wichita State the lead for good at 64-63 with 3:10 left. He then hit a 3 and freshman Fred VanVleet helped seal it with a final 3 with 1:28 remaining. “We play together, we stick to our goals, we’re good teammates,” Baker said. He hardly looked fazed.

auburn hills, mich.» Michigan made Havoc look helpless. Mitch McGary had 21 points and 14 rebounds, and the fourth-seeded Wolverines breezed through Virginia Commonwealth’s vaunted pressure with a clinical performance Saturday, beating the fifth-seeded Rams 78-53 to advance to the NCAA round of 16 for the first time since 1994. VCU (27-9) was relentless in a 46-point rout of Akron on Thursday night, but the Rams met their match against Michigan’s cool-headed backcourt. Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr. rarely looked rattled against VCU, and although Michigan (28-7) committed 12 turnovers, the Rams couldn’t turn many of them into quick scoring opportunities. McGary, a 6-foot-10 freshman, set season highs in scoring and rebounding. VCU had no answer for him around the basket, and when the Rams couldn’t create easy baskets with their pressure defense — they call it “Havoc” — they were finished.

ARIZONA SENDS HARVARD HOME

MARQUETTE RALLIES PAST BUTLER 74-72

salt lake city» For Arizona, it’s on to Los Angeles. And for Harvard — well, it’s time to head back to class. Clearly unfazed by their Ivy League opponent’s plucky brand of Smartball, the Wildcats showed how a real basketball school does it Saturday. Mark Lyons matched his career high with 27 points in Arizona’s wire-to-wire 74-51 blowout of the Crimson. No. 6 seed Arizona’s next stop in the NCAA Tournament is Southern California, where the Wildcats will make their 15th appearance in the regional semifinals. They’ll play the winner of Sunday’s game between Ohio State and Iowa State. The day for No. 14 Harvard (20-10) was best summed up early in the second half when point guard Siyani Chambers took an elbow to the mouth from Kevin Parrom, who chipped off part of Chambers’ front tooth. Officials stopped play and Chambers’ teammate, Christian Webster, walked over, bent down and picked up the tooth fragment off the floor. Ouch. That felt nothing like Thursday, when Harvard pulled off an upset over a physically imposing New Mexico team — a stunner that riled up the Harvard twitterrati and sparked dreams of nets somehow being cut down with a slide rule. Yes, coach Tommy Amaker’s program could be redefining what’s possible in the Ivy League. But Arizona (27-7), a team

lexington, ky.» Vander Blue scored 19 second-half points to rally third-seeded Marquette out of another hole, and the Golden Eagles survived No. 6 Butler 74-72 on Saturday night to reach the round of 16 in the NCAA Tournament. Like November’s first meeting between the teams at the Maui Invitational, won 72-71 by Butler on Rotnei Clarke’s buzzer-beating 3-pointer, this was a back-and-forth, high-intensity affair that came down to the final shot. Only this time, Butler missed. Marquette (25-8) will meet the winner of Sunday’s game between Illinois and Miami on Thursday in the East Regional semifinals in Washington. Clarke’s 24 points led Butler (28-9). Blue led the Golden Eagles’ rally from a 35-27 halftime deficit and tied the game at 69 on 3-pointer with 1:25 remaining.

LEXINGTON JOURNAL

Eustachy: “We’re going to be good” By Christopher Dempsey The Denver Post

lexington, ky.» itting in a cushioned folding chair in one of the saddest locker rooms he’s ever been in, sophomore Daniel Bejarano was asked to look past the final score of Colorado State’s final loss of the season and talk about the future. He’ll be a big part of it. “Every year has been a new chapter for me, so every year has been motivation for me, and this is just a new chapter in the books,” Bejarano said. “I can flip the page. We had a great season, a great year. We’ve got to close that up for next year. We have guys coming in, and some of us will have to step up and be leaders and try and figure out how to get back here next year. It’s not going to be easy. I’ve been in the program already, so I know what it takes. We’ve just got to step up.” Basically, the entire bench is returning. Four of those players are Bejarano, Jon Octeus, Joe De Ciman and Gerson Santo. Those four got varying degrees of experience over the course of this season, with Bejarano wining the Mountain West sixth man of the year award. Added to the mix are Jesse Carr, a senior who missed this season because of a torn ACL, and Dwight Smith, a junior who played two seasons before redshirting this season

along with freshman guard Jordan Mason. CSU’s recruiting class, signed during the early signing period last November, to this point includes Aurora Central guard Carlton Hurst, Elmhurst, Ill., shooting guard David Cohn, and former Rangeview High standout Marcus Holt. That brings the roster to 10 scholarship players, meaning three spots remain open. The basketball regular signing period begins April 17 and ends May 15. “We’re going to be good,” CSU coach Larry Eustachy said. “I’m big on track records, and I think if you look at what we’ve done as a staff over the years, we just keep getting better, which, you know, is going to be hard to do next year. But in the long term I think we should all be excited about where we’re headed. We’re not nearly done.” Those sentiments were echoed by senior guard Wes Eikmeier. “Our young guys are great,” Eikmeier said. “And they’re going to continue where we left off.” Bejarano agreed. “We have the right guys,” he said. “We have a lot of guys who have been here already. We have guys who are motivated, I promise you I know they are. We have some guys that people really haven’t seen what they can do. We have a lot to work for. But just don’t

doubt us that we’ll get here next year.”

Getting to exhale. From the day he was hired to Saturday night, it has been a whirlwind calendar year for Eustachy, who now plans to take some time to get to know his surroundings. “I can’t even tell you anything about Fort Collins except for where Sonny’s (steakhouse) is and how to get from point A to point B, which is my house to my office,” Eustachy said. “I’m looking forward to seeing the scenery and enjoying the people and getting to know people a little bit more. When you’re coaching, you’re in a coma, you’re locked in, if you’re doing your job.”

Pitino props. Louisville coach Rick Pitino spent a ton of time talking up Colorado State, calling the Rams the best secondround game (really third round with the expanded field) he’s coached against. “Our respect level for Colorado State is off the charts,” Pitino said. “That was as good a second-round game as I’ve seen. Only one other time did it rival that: We played Tom Davis at Iowa, and it reminded me of this, but we had great respect for them.” Christopher Dempsey: 303-9541579 or cdempsey @denverpost.com

But Saturday, almost everything that was thought to be an issue that could get the Rams beaten turned out to be problems they couldn’t solve. A relentless press by Louisville (31-5) forced a season-high 20 turnovers by CSU and turned those into 24 points. As is usually the case for any team playing the Cardinals, that was the story of the game. “I thought we tried really hard,” Eustachy said. “I haven’t seen a team that good (since) ... I can’t remember. They just were relentless. We just had no answer in spite of our effort.” Getting back to the NCAA Tournament will be tougher next season as the Rams lose their entire starting five, all seniors, and instantly become one of the nation’s younger, more inexperienced teams. Eustachy has been outspokenly bullish about the future of his team, and he will have to make it happen to get CSU to a third consecutive NCAA Tournament — something never done in school history. Still, this day, this season, this tournament, has been about Dorian Green, Wes Eikmeier, Greg Smith, Pierce Hornung — and, to a lesser extent, Colton Iverson. The first four came to CSU on the belief they could turn a moribund program into a winner. They leave the Rams having done just that. “It’s hard to look back, but I know we’ve done some special stuff,” Green said. “I’m just fortunate to be a part of it.” Said Eikmeier: “Coach said it after the game, this is probably the greatest season in school his-

Midwest Regional OREGON IS PLANTING SEEDS OF BELIEVING san jose, calif.» Oregon is riding its much-debated No. 12 seed all the way to the round of 16. Damyean Dotson scored 23 points, Carlos Emory added 14 points and the hot-shooting Ducks sprinted past fourth-seeded Saint Louis 74-57 in the NCAA Tournament Saturday night. Dotson made his first five 3-pointers

tory. It couldn’t happen for better guys or a better group than our seniors. It was a great ride.” In their time together, CSU went from a cellar-dweller in the Mountain West to nearly winning the conference championship this season. All five seniors had the biggest roles in authoring a school-record 26 wins this season. CSU’s 81 wins over the fouryear period ties the fourth-year seniors atop the school’s alltime list. They started postseason play in the CBI Tournament in 2010, moved up to the National Invitation Tournament in 2011 and went to the NCAA Tournament in 2012 and 2013. CSU’s seniors left the program in much better shape than they found it when they arrived. That’s what will make them among the most revered players in CSU basketball history. A blowout loss to Louisville — arguably the nation’s best team — won’t change that. Against the Cardinals, CSU never got its game going. The Rams battled even on the boards while giving away the turnover stat. Speed and constant harassment from a handson Louisville defense sucked the life from the Rams. CSU had a 16-14 lead with 12 minutes left in the first half, but the Cardinals went on a 12-3 run. After that, the Rams never threatened the Cardinals. By halftime, Louisville had 18 points off 11 turnovers by CSU and led 45-31. Offensively, the Cardinals lived in the paint, outscoring the Rams 34-12 there on a variety of ways: on post-ups, through dribble penetration or on fast breaks. Meanwhile, the Rams struggled to get shots up. For much of the game, they had more turn-

But Memphis responded with a 12-2 run to pull within three, and the Spartans led 32-29 at halftime. The Tigers (31-5) fell off the pace in the second half because they were overmatched physically by a rugged Big Ten Conference team after going undefeated during their regular season in Conference USA.

AUSTIN JOURNAL

Gators, ’Canes: Florida GC for real

By Tom Kensler The Denver Post

austin, texas» hat NCAA Tournament victory Friday by 15th-seeded Florida Gulf Coast over No. 2-seeded Georgetown in Philadelphia may have led “SportsCenter” highlights that night, but players and coaches of Florida and Miami weren’t surprised. “I know that everyone on our team picked (Florida Gulf Coast) to win that game,” Miami senior center Kenny Kadji said Saturday during interviews at the Erwin Center. Truthfully? Well, Florida Gulf Coast did beat visiting Miami 63-51 on Nov. 13. Miami would go on to win the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season and tournament championships and earn the East Regional’s No. 2 seed. The Hurricanes will play here Sunday against seventhseeded Illinois, with a trip to the Sweet 16 on the line. In Philadelphia, Florida Gulf Coast will face No. 7seeded San Diego State. “We know how good Florida Gulf Coast was,” Kadji said, “and the way they played against us at their place was unbelievable. I knew that was not a fluke, and they are a pretty good team. So, good job to them. I think they will go far in the tournament.” Florida coach Billy Donovan said the nation should not be shocked by tournament upsets. Apparently, that includes a No. 2 seed falling to a No. 15 seed. “I just think the nation’s watching (college basketball)

Bu≠s believe they will be better next season By Tom Kensler The Denver Post

austin, texas» Even if junior forward Andre Roberson waits another year on the NBA — giving Colorado five returning starters — the Buffaloes will have a new look next season: An infusion of athleticism, greater depth, more options. “We’ve got some talented players coming in that will help us. We have a lot to look forward to,” Colorado coach Tad Boyle said Friday after his team lost 57-49 to Illinois and was eliminated from the NCAA Tournament after one game. Colorado finished 21-12, reaching 20 victories for the third consecutive year (all under Boyle) — which is a first in the program’s history. Everyone connected with CU was disappointed Friday, but Boyle is guiding this team through uncharted waters and newfound success. Colorado’s back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances marked a first since 1962-63. “The offseason is where everyone gets better,” sophomore guard Askia Booker said. “I think the sky’s the limit for us.” Roberson is expected to spend spring break at his home in San Antonio and talk over the NBA decision with his family. In the meantime, Boyle said he will gather information about where Roberson would be projected in the 2013 NBA draft. “Andre doesn’t have to make a decision until April 28, so we have some time,” Boyle said. “It’s all about what’s best for the student-athlete.” Roberson averaged a doubledouble of 10.9 points and 11.2 rebounds per game. His absence would be felt, but Colorado will add five players — two current freshmen coming off redshirt years and three incoming signees — who could make the 2013-14 roster more potent overall. As it stands now, Colorado loses only two reserve players,

Colorado men’s basketball

now, and maybe the nation wasn’t watching as closely (before),” Donovan said. “Our guys understand that in the playing field of college basketball, anything can happen in a one-game deal.”

Practice omens? Practices for two of the four remaining teams in Austin experienced unusual incidents Saturday. Miami’s workout was delayed about 30 minutes when a technical problem set off a fire alarm and everyone had to leave the arena. Florida’s practice was visited by a bat flying above the court. It’s all about overcoming adversity, no matter how bizarre the incidents may be, Miami senior center Julian Gamble said. “You just have to be able to handle it; it’s a little bump in the road for us,” he explained. “We made the most of it, just having fun outside with our teammates.” Florida players said they actually spotted two bats darting overhead. Austin residents are used to bats, with the viewing of an evening flight of bats from underneath a city bridge having become a major tourist attraction. But for basketball players inside an arena, seeing bats might be a bit disconcerting. “It was funny seeing guys’ reaction to them,” Gators junior forward Casey Prather said. Donovan apparently told his team to remain focused on hoops. “(He) was like, ‘If you get bit, I’ll pay for your medical bills,’ ” junior center Patric Young said with a grin.

fitting that Minnesota and Florida would be matched in the NCAA Tournament. Gophers coach Tubby Smith and the Gators’ Donovan served as assistants together at Kentucky in the early 1990s. They’re longtime friends. And, one could say, also longtime foes — having coached against each other in the Southeastern Conference during Smith’s Kentucky days. Will that familiarity make it easier for each to coach against the other? “Maybe philosophically,” Donovan said. “Tubby’s always going to put an emphasis on defense. And I think he always utilizes and takes advantage of the personnel he has on offense. Those things you’re always going to get when you prepare for one of his teams.”

Sermon from the Mack. Minnesota’s Smith had Mack Brown speak to his team before a Gophers practice here. Yes, Mack Brown, the Texas football coach. It seems they had a mutual acquaintance: Tennessee Tech hoops coach Mike Sutton. Brown is from Cookeville, Tenn., where Tennessee Tech is located. “In the coaching fraternity, you kind of look to people that are successful,” Smith said. “I thought his visit with the team was very inspirational.”

A look at the newcomers for the Buffaloes’ 2013-14 season:

REDSHIRT FRESHMEN Chris Jenkins, 6-foot-7, F, Detroit Jesuit HS: Lanky, athletic wing was considered an underrated recruit with upside. Wesley Gordon, 6-8, F, Colorado Springs Sierra HS: Bulked up to 225 pounds, has natural shot-blocking and defensive skills.

FRESHMEN Tre’Shaun Fletcher, 6-6, G, Tacoma (Wash.) Lincoln HS: Averaged 21 points as all-state senior; rated No. 91 overall by Scout.com. Jaron Hopkins, 6-5, G, Mesa (Ariz.) Dobson HS: Ranked No. 110 nationally and the top player in his state by Rivals.com. Arizona offered. Dustin Thomas, 6-7, F, Texarkana (Texas) Pleasant Grove HS: Texashoops.com ranks him eighth in his state in a loaded class.

guard Sabatino Chen and center Shane Harris-Tunks, who combined for 5.9 points and 3.8 rebounds per game this season. Next season’s freshmen are led by two forwards who got to practice with the team all season as redshirts: 6-8 Wesley Gordon, a former blue-chip recruit from Colorado Springs’ Sierra High School, and 6-7 Chris Jenkins from Detroit’s Jesuit High. Boyle has said Gordon has all-conference potential. “They both can help us, especially Wesley with his ability to block shots,” Boyle said. “He’s had some practices where, as a coach, you’re pretty impressed.” Boyle signed three high school seniors in November and believes each can make an impact in their first season. Two are guards who made national top150 lists: 6-6 Tre’Shaun Fletcher from Tacoma (Wash.) Lincoln and 6-5 Jaron Hopkins of Mesa (Ariz.) Dobson. “Tre’Shaun is a terrific basketball player,” Boyle said. “He can pass. He can dribble. He can shoot. (As a freshman) he could be one of our best passers. “One of the problems with our team this year is our assists numbers — if we don’t assist the ball, it’s usually not good

news,” Boyle added. “Tre’Shaun will help in that regard. At 6-6, he can see over defenses and he has a good feel for the game.” Hopkins reminds Boyle of current Buffs sophomore Spencer Dinwiddie. “Jaron is a tall guard and a terrific athlete like Spencer,” Boyle said. To supply help at forward, Boyle signed 6-7 Dustin Thomas of Texarkana (Texas) Pleasant Grove, who picked the Buffs over Oklahoma. “Dustin is a heck of a basketball player,” Boyle said. “He can rebound, and he can really shoot the ball from 3-point range. We could have used that (against Illinois).” The returning players, led by starters Dinwiddie, Booker, Xavier Johnson, Josh Scott and possibly Roberson each must improve, work hard in the weight room to become stronger and add elements to their games, Boyle said. He wants Dinwiddie, arguably the team’s best player, to add another 10 pounds and work on his shooting and post-up moves. “Just because we’re going to be a year older next year doesn’t mean we’re going to be a year better,” Boyle said, “and our players need to understand that.”

Stay ahead of the game.

Two others had five. Creek leaks. Highly touted Cherry Creek, recognized in various national baseball rankings, lost at home to Mountain Vista, which used a three-run sixth inning to win 5-2 in a nonleague game Thursday. The Golden Eagles held the Bruins to three hits. State’s best. Denver East star Dominique Collier was named Colorado’s Gatorade boys basketball player of the year.

Student-Athletes of the Week Brandon Bailey, Broomfield Height: 5-foot-9. Weight: 167 pounds. Age: 18. Born: Oct. 18, 1994, in Westminster. High school sport: Baseball (2012 Class 4A all-state pitcher; rehabbing from Tommy John surgery; hitting .444 — 8-for-18 — with a home run and 11 RBIs as designated hitter). Brandon Bailey Grade-point average: 3.7. Class: Senior. My favorite subject: History. My favorite athlete: Tim Lincecum. My favorite teams: Colorado Rockies and New York Yankees.

Planned career: Sports management or baseball scout; signed to pitch at Gonzaga. My family: Parents Antionette and Brad, sister Brianna. I would love to visit: Yankee Stadium. Are high school sports necessary? Yes, because they teach you to show good character and good sportsmanship, and how to be a leader and manage your time. It’s good to be active and organized. I have to get to practice, get my studies done, eat and get my workout in. Denver East’s baseball field was covered with spring snow Saturday. Kathryn Scott Osler, The Denver Post

Delay of games right call in spring season aurora» igh school administrators are failing spring sports athletes and don’t seem to care. We’re in our 92nd go-round and not much has changed. Oh, we’ve gone through the decades, grown new cities and suburbs and added schools, sports and classifications, but have been left in the dust in terms of leadership and foresight. The time has come for significant change. But will Coloradans embrace it? We need to delay the start of spring sports in the worst way, a relatively simple move that has been complicated needlessly by school officials who have long put their lack of nerve and work ethic in the way of logical progress. Consider: Push back the start of spring play until at least mid-March, begin the season April 1 then extend the stretch run into, say, the middle of June. There. Was that so hard? I can’t figure out these people. Then again, I can. Those in charge have looked the other way for too long and seem obliv-

ious to the monotonous run of problems and conflicts that accompany every endof-school season. What? Those folks worry? All they care about is getting the school year over with and heading into summer vacation. It’s depressing, really. Every March we have preseason drills that overlap with the end of the basketball season. Every late March we have a series of postponements of games that would rival any airline flight schedule. And every late March we have competitors playing on yellow, dormant grass and dirt that’s more like concrete. Ask the baseball players about taking groundballs on infields that aren’t close to being ready. Better yet, ask the girls golfers, who play early rounds on courses that

appear to have been bleached. And ask tracksters, who are held back because of the fear of pulling a muscle. While this issue doesn’t concern boys swimmers and divers, and lacrosse and soccer participants at least have access to a reasonable amount of artificial surface, check with the tennis players about how much fun it is to play in the wind and cold. While there has been rumblings for years about a spring sports extension interfering with summer play (average game attendance: not many more than a dozen) and the recent ridiculous notion of cutting back the number of basketball games in the winter (huh?) to begin spring play even earlier, the biggest problem is officials’ fear over lack of control of student-athletes out of school. I know, go figure. Please, make the change, leap forward and do what’s right for the kids. Our spring thing isn’t working. Neil H.

Kelli Woodman, Cherry Creek Height: 5-foot-6. Weight: 128 pounds. Age: 17. Born: July 25, 1995, in Denver. High school sport: Tennis (defending Class 5A No. 1 singles champion and 2012 player of the year by The Denver Post; 2011 5A No. 1 singles runner-up; 2010 5A No. 3 singles runner-up). Kelli Woodman Grade-point average: 3.5. Class: Senior. My favorite subject: English. My favorite athlete: Novak Djokovic. My favorite team: Los Angeles Lakers. What I listen to: Hip-hop, rap and country. The best things on my training table: Protein shakes and chicken. Planned career: International business; signed to play tennis at Seattle. My family: Parents Shelly and Dave. I would love to visit: Thailand or Vietnam. Are high school sports necessary? I definitely think so, especially for those who play sports outside of high school. For me, there’s a different part of the game; you have a team behind you and it really helps when you’re going through a hard time and they back you up. It’s also a different setting, and you can benefit from that.

Each week during the high school season, The Denver Post, The Denver Athletic Club and 9News honor male and female student-athletes. This season’s student-athletes of the year will be honored at a DAC banquet May 22. Honorees are chosen by a panel at The Denver Post.

midst all the fuss over Colorado’s groundbreaking new gun legislation, one component has become abundantly clear within the sportsmen’s community. There’s no shortage of misinformation going around on the impacts these new laws will have on hunters. “The bills were just signed (Wednesday). We, like everybody else, are saying, ‘Now what does this mean? What are the practical applications in these specific situations?’ ” said Randy Hampton, public information officer for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. “What we do know is that our regulations aren’t going to have to change. For the most part, we don’t expect this will have a regulatory impact on the agency.” CPW, like the rest of us, is still awaiting interpretation from the state attorney general’s office on some of the technical questions hunters may have. There is no firm timeline, however, and since the laws don’t take

effect until July 1 and won’t change hunting regulations, it remains to be seen how quickly those interpretations will be made. But here’s what we do know. From the hunting perspective, potential scenarios boil down to two fronts: big game hunting and everything else. “With big game hunting, we have had since the mid-’70s a provision in our big game regulations that did not allow for the use of any magazine that would hold over six rounds,” Hampton said. “So in terms of big game regulations, the new law on magazine limits does not affect big game hunting at all. If someone has used a legal big game firearm from the mid-’70s

up to now, that rifle will still be legal. Even before the new law, the magazine had to be limited. “When you get outside of big game, that leads to some challenges. We’ve heard from some people that say, ‘I use my AR-15 to hunt coyotes and a 30-round magazine is what I carry.’ Obviously there’s potential impact there to those people. But there’s nothing in our regulations that needs to change in that regard. Our regulations for hunting varmints say you can use any legal firearm.” At the risk of contributing to the misinformation clutter, I’m going to take a stab at some common sense interpretation. Existing 30-round magazines owned by hunters (and others) have been grandfathered into the new law. As long as you don’t start your collection after the month of June, those magazines should remain within the “legal firearms” interpretation. Come July, the law limits new magazines to 15 rounds.

“The other area where there has been some discussion was in shotguns,” Hampton added. “Most bird and small game seasons include a regulation requiring shotguns to be plugged anyway, holding only up to three rounds. The exception is during light goose conservation order season, when that restriction is lifted.” The new law allows for shotgun magazines capable of holding shells with a combined length of 28 inches. As Hampton points out, there’s a practicality issue at play here too. Once a magazine gets too long it impairs a hunter’s ability to aim, or even carry, a shotgun. It’s also important to note that just because a gun is capable of accepting a larger magazine, that doesn’t make it illegal. The law bans magazines that can be converted, not the gun itself. And with legal exclusions for hunting, shooting ranges and state-sponsored events that include hunting and shooting, no one is going to be con-

ducting background checks in the woods. Hampton admits some murky areas remain, as with almost any new law. But hunters should bear in mind that state wildlife officers are not the gun police. As long as sportsmen are obeying existing hunting regulations, they shouldn’t be concerned about conflict. “We’re going to make sure we get questions from hunters answered, but I think some of this is just a vehicle by some people to raise the issue. Our job is to regulate hunting, not the firearms,” Hampton said. “The first time this is going to come up is after July 1. Meanwhile, we’re asking the same kinds of questions. Hopefully by then we have some answers.” Scott Willoughby: 303-954-1993 or swilloughby@denverpost.com

More than 100,000 people voted in one of The Denver Post’s online opinion polls last week, which is a significant number. But the poll’s result — with 70 percent of respondents favoring a ballot measure that would overturn a ban on high-capacity magazines — is largely insignificant, writes editorial page editor Curtis Hubbard. » 3D

Hick seizing high ground on fracking VINCENT CARROLL Denver Post Columnist

“I

’m willing to push the political reality as hard as I can,” Gov. John Hickenlooper told an audience in Durango in December, “but I think it’s morally reckless to not embrace something like natural gas as a short-term transition fuel.” Morally reckless not to embrace gas? Talk about an example of verbal jiu-jitsu. Here was the governor deftly turning the tables on opponents of hydraulic fracturing — opponents whose own rhetoric is suffused with high-octane moralizing. Nor were Hickenlooper’s comments in Durango the sole example of seizing the moral high ground. In Fort Collins this month he made much the same point and even upped the ante. “If you care about climate change, it’s morally wrong not to recognize how rapidly this could mitigate the effects of climate change,” Hickenlooper said of the potential of natural gas to reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to coal. Hickenlooper probably overstates how “rapidly” the further adoption of natural gas could reduce the impacts of climate change. And he is surely off-base about gas being merely a “short-term transition fuel” — unless his definition of short term amounts to “many decades” or “the foreseeable future.” But the governor is nonetheless onto something in re-casting the debate over fracking — and it’s important to acknowledge as much while the legislature takes up a series of bills tightening drilling regulations. This is not to deny that targeted tightening might be called for, or that the ideas themselves — including raising fines for violations, increasing inspections — are uniformly without merit. The problem with the debate over fracking is that some critics sincerely seek reasonable refinements to regulations while others will use any tool at hand to increase fracking’s costs in a quest to stop it altogether. And that second group — the “morally reckless” contingent, to adopt Hickenlooper’s term — has grown disturbingly large, abusive and selfrighteous. They need to be called out by the likes of the governor for irresponsible posturing and complacency regarding the real-life needs of people here and around the globe.

About civil unions The Colorado Civil Union Act makes a civil union available to both same sex and different sex couples. Civil unions will provide to couples some of the legal benefits, protections, and responsibilities that are granted to married spouses, including: B Responsibility for financial support of a partner B Responsibility for decisions relating to medical care and treatment B Responsibility as priority conservator, guardian, or personal representative for a partner B The ability to inherit real and personal property from a partner B The ability to protect exempt property from attachment, execution, or garnishment B The ability to designate a

partner as a beneficiary to retirement B The ability to adopt a child of a partner B The ability to insure a partner B Hospital visitation B Eligibility for family leave benefits B Survivor benefits under workers compensation laws and local government pensions Civil unions also provide for the dissolution, legal separation, and declaration of invalidity of a civil union.

Point-Counterpoint Should Colorado’s skier safety laws be changed?

NO: Colorado ski areas already make skier safety a priority By Melanie Mills

ne of the major reasons people live in and visit Colorado is the opportunity to participate in the many outdoor activities our great state offers. Skiing and snowboarding are Colorado’s signature sports. There are 520,000 Coloradans who actively participate in skiing and snowboarding at Colorado’s 25 ski areas. Skiers and snowboarders spend nearly $3 billion each year pursuing their favorite sport in our state, with up to 70 percent of

each dollar spent going to support a business other than a ski area. Colorado ski areas provide worldclass recreation opportunities in conjunction with our partners at the U.S. Forest Service and introduce many people to our nation’s spectacular public lands. These recreation opportunities would not be possible without the Colorado Ski Safety Act. Originally enacted in 1979 (when the few insurers willing to insure ski areas determined they would leave the state because of excessive and costly litigation), the Ski Safety Act does three primary things: • It establishes responsibilities MILLS » 4D

YES: Resorts should not have a blanket excuse for negligence By Steve Lipsher

he fine print on the back of a ski-lift ticket offers a list of “inherent risks” that skiers and snowboarders assume under the Colorado Ski Safety Act, including variable snow and terrain, rocks, stumps, trees and other skiers. The language protects ski resorts from lawsuits over universally accepted hazards in an activity once stereotypically considered synonymous with broken legs. But, as noted in Karen Crummy’s

revealing three-part series in The Denver Post earlier this week, skiarea operators also try to use the Ski Safety Act to shield themselves from financial liability even in cases of negligence and misconduct. And for loyal season pass-holders, many resorts require an even greater sacrifice of personal legal rights: Those customers must sign a waiver in which they agree to pay attorney’s fees for the ski area if they sue. By doing so, the ski areas attempt to immunize themselves from lawsuits over inadequately marking closed ski runs; collisions caused by resort employees; LIPSHER » 4D

OPINION The Week in Review March 18-22 Highlights from The Denver Post’s opinion pages and The Idea Log blog.

Monday Redundant state law on immigrant status checks

The Open Forum Letters to the Editor

Mountains of risk

Cities vs. drilling Re: “Home rule seen as haven for cities,” March 12 news story.

Readers respond to a Denver Post series

In an editorial, we wrote: Repeal of a 2006 state law requiring local police to report suspected illegal immigrants to federal authorities would be a positive change in what has become a new environment. Six years ago, there was no Secure Communities, the federal deportation program that requires everyone who is arrested in the U.S. to undergo a legal status check. It targets criminals for deportation. But back in 2006, out of frustration over the lack of federal action, Colorado lawmakers passed a measure that was intended to limit the discretion of local officials in setting policies that created “sanctuary cities.” Senate Bill 90 required police who have probable cause to believe an arrestee did not have legal status to report the person to immigration authorities. With the advent of Secure Communities, it’s no longer necessary.

Jeff Hankins, a ski patroller with the Breckenridge resort, takes an injured skier to a medical center this month. Andy Cross, The Denver Post

Tuesday DPS drama ends with solid choice for school board In an editorial, we wrote: A school board member resigns and a replacement must be found. It’s a common enough occurrence in school districts across the state. But even the most prosaic procedure can turn into a contentious spectacle on the Denver school board — as witnessed the past two months since the resignation of Nate Easley and the search for a replacement. Fortunately, the board’s latest mini-drama ended Monday — and ended well — when president Mary Seawell chose Landri Taylor to represent northeast District 4 for the remainder of Landri Easley’s term, which concludes this year. Taylor Taylor is a solid choice, as he is intimately acquainted with northeast Denver and with school district issues, and will be able to contribute immediately.

Good news on Colorado’s revenue forecast In a post on The Idea Log, we wrote: Monday’s revelation that state revenues continue to grow provides some welcome news after years of cutbacks during the Great Recession. But even with the apparent comeback in revenues, Coloradans and their leaders must remain mindful that the state’s long-term structural budget problem — that is, the state’s inability going forward to provide the same level of services it now provides — still remain unsolved.

Wednesday Denver area’s water utilities need your help In an editorial, we wrote: The numbers don’t look good and haven’t for some time. Reservoir levels are down and so are stream flows. Snowpack isn’t much better than in February. It is with this in mind that area water providers are positioning themselves to restrict lawn watering to twice a week and call upon residents to be stingy about how they use the precious resource. We hope everyone is listening.

Casualties of war: Ten years after invasion of Iraq In a column, Trudy Rubin wrote: Ten years after the invasion of Iraq, it’s clear who lost the war that followed. But it may be years before we know if anyone won. Topping the loser’s columns, of course, is Saddam Hussein, with the world better for it. Yet, despite his demise, America is also the loser. The goals the Bush administration set for the war were never achievable, and the costs were greater than most Americans realize, not just in lives and money squandered but in reputation lost.

Thursday Governor should get behind death penalty repeal In an editorial, we wrote: Anyone who witnessed the House Judiciary Committee’s marathon hearing Tuesday on a bill to ban the death penalty in Colorado could appreciate the passionate arguments on each side of the issue. But we hope Gov. John Hickenlooper, who still has not taken a position, sides with supporters of House Bill 1264, which would abolish capital punishment in Colorado. There are many reasoned arguments against the death penalty, not the least of which is its uneven application. Similarly brutal murders can result in very dissimilar punishments, with a death sentence dependent more on where the killing took place than the details of the crime. But even without that troubling flaw, one argument stands immovable: There is no way to write the law to guarantee an innocent person is never executed.

Slain corrections chief Tom Clements will be missed In an editorial, we wrote: Opinion seems unanimous: Colorado corrections chief Tom Clements, who was killed at his home Tuesday evening, was a dedicated public servant who treated others, no matter their status, with kindness and respect. He was an all-around good guy who will be greatly missed by colleagues and friends alike. State Agriculture Secretary John Salazar recalled Clements as “one of the finest, kindest, most generous people I’ve ever met. He was the salt of Tom the earth.” At his press conference Clements Wednesday, Hickenlooper recounted how Clements “first turned us down and was going to go to another state and then upon reflection came to Colorado. And we are so grateful for the time he gave us.”

Friday Enact a federal sales tax for online purchases In an editorial, we wrote: There’s a big push under way to get the U.S. Senate to add an online sales tax measure to a budget bill being debated in Washington. We think it’s a good idea. We have long supported a federal mechanism enabling states to be able to collect sales tax that already is due but virtually no one pays.

Re: “Mountains of risk,” March 17-19 series.

In the first part of The Denver Post’s series, Karen E. Crummy does a nice job illuminating the Wild West environment that pervades our state ski areas when it comes to disclosure and investigation of accidents that hurt or kill people (“Patrols have sole control; Ski areas — not police or rangers — probe accidents,” March 17). Typically, ski area officials won’t utter a word about a death on the hill unless someone asks, and as Crummy discovered in her reporting, most of them won’t say anything at all about their accident investigation processes. Whether the skier or resort is at fault in an accident, many hours in Colorado courts are tied up annually trying to point the finger in the right direction. In a democratic society, the very least we should expect is that objective, official and public reports help form the basis of those decisions. Rather than run from more transparency, resorts should embrace a process that may well help them in some cases. Alex Miller, Highlands Ranch

BBB Since 1938, the nonprofit National Ski Patrol (NSP), which is made up of more than 28,000 paid and volunteer patrollers nationwide, has dedicated itself to serving the public and outdoor recreation community. Skiers and snowboarders have come to know ski patrollers as dedicated individuals who work tirelessly to make the slopes safer and often put themselves in harm’s way to rescue those who have become hurt or lost on the slopes. We are especially saddened when there is a loss of life or serious injury on the slopes. Our hearts go out to the families, friends, and all of those who have suffered as a result of a ski or snowboard accident. But to vilify patrollers, as your series does, is incredibly misguided. At best, your attack on the integrity of ski patrollers and the suggestion that ski patrollers tamper with evidence to benefit

corporate stakeholders represents unfounded reporting. At worst, your series is nothing short of fearmongering that does a disservice to the skiing public by offering little in the way of educating skiers and riders to have a safer ski experience. Tim White, Lakewood The writer is executive director of National Ski Patrol.

BBB Kudos to The Denver Post and reporter Karen E. Crummy for exposing the shameful liability situation that exists within the Colorado ski industry. In all my numerous years on this planet, I’ve noticed that whenever a business or politician gets caught taking unfair advantage of the general public, they almost always refuse to answer any questions and tend to issue canned, broadly related statements that come electronically rather than in person. The fact that almost every ski area statewide and the ski industry trade group, Colorado Ski Country USA, all seem to fit exactly into that pattern tells me all I need to know about that industry and its members. I can’t imagine why The Denver Post would even grant them the unearned courtesy of printing the canned e-mail statement from Colorado Ski Country USA, which in my opinion read, “Blah, blah, blah blah.” Ben D’Andrea, Lakewood

BBB The Post’s story about the Colorado Ski Safety Act (“In bounds of liability; Resorts well-guarded by laws, season-pass waivers,” March 18) left out the perspective of the average skier. Since I started skiing several decades ago, the cost of a ski ticket has gone up about 20 times. Since then, I have noticed that there are more safety personnel on the slopes, lift operators, ski patrol, instructors, information guides, medical technicians, maintenance people. I’ve noticed more grooming equipment (I could do without that, though) and much more attention to the safety and comfort of the guests. This all costs lots of money. However, the insinuation that the resort can predict

Robert D. Tonsing, Morrison

BBB I have found your series on ski resort liability fascinating and informative. I couldn’t believe my eyes, though, when I read the Powderhorn spokesperson’s comment: “There’s not going to be negligence by the resort.” Are you kidding me? Gabrielle Michna can say with a straight face that a resort will never make a mistake? That is one of the most absurd comments I’ve ever read and clearly shows the need for change to laws regarding resort liability.

Becky Browning, Estes Park

BBB You want to prevent skiers from running into trees? Prevent injuries and death? Easy! Just place a barrier between the skiers and the trees — a 10-foot, ungroomed snow barrier. As you note, most of these injuries occur on intermediate slopes, the majority of which are wide; the 20 feet lost to skiing will never be missed on these or most expert slopes. If that is a problem, cut the tree line back a few feet. Place an absolute prohibition on skiing in the deep snow and enforce it with fines, pulled lift tickets, and the placement of ropes along the edge. Before long, no one will consider skiing off the snow. And, with so many people on these slopes to pull people out of the snow bank, no one will be asphyxiated. Combine that with mandatory helmets and the number of injuries will plunge. Phil Corsello, Denver

every avalanche, rope off every potential hazard, keep people from hiking into dangerous areas, or by some magic, keep two skiers from colliding, is simply absurd, and that point of view was sadly left out of the article. For the huge majority of the rest of us skiers out there having fun, we need the Ski Safety Act (enacted in 1979) so we don’t have to pay $300 for a day pass, which would limit skiing to rich people only. The hungry lawyers angling for some lawsuit money should prey on other industries.

The idea of home-rule cities regulating oil and gas development within their city limits would be great if they produced all the energy they needed within those same city limits. The fact is, if you don’t produce, and import most or all of your energy from elsewhere in the state or country, then it is not fair to say we don’t want the wells in our neighborhoods but we will be glad to have them in yours. That is the very reason that the regulatory power is, has been, and must remain at the state level. The governor needs to stand his ground, and while I am sure that there are several city attorneys advising their boards to sue, all that will result is a waste of tax dollars in a cause that was decided in the states’ favor once we all stopped heating with wood.

Leaving the GOP Re: “Voters may flee GOP over gay rights,” March 17 guest commentary.

Matt Barnum expressed the thoughts and feelings of many current and former Republicans who have been alienated by the party’s social agenda. A few years ago, after 35 years as a Republican, I finally left the party. I no longer wished to be identified with a group that seeks to undermine the rights of others. While I used to find more common ground in their economic policies, even this now reflects an ideology I cannot support. Barnum is giving the Republican Party some good advice, but now that I am on the other team, I hope they don’t follow it. Al Steinmann, Golden

Market interference Re: “Denver and Littleton launch fund program to assist home buyers,” March 20 business news story.

Once again, government sticks its nose into the housing market by giving taxpayer dollars to people making up to $100,000 so they can make a down payment on a home. Giving away 4 percent of the loan amount, without regard to the cost of the home, is a giveaway of shameful proportion. Surely that kind of largess should be reserved for the truly poor, the truly needy. Denver and the Metro Mayors Caucus are making, and repeating, the same kind of mistake the feds have repeatedly made. By giving away money to promote homeownership, they distort the market, invite fraud, and display a serious lack of judgment. This is a program the public should demand be stopped before it begins.

Caution on air tanker decision Is it really necessary for Colorado to develop its own $20 million aerial firefighting fleet?

here is no doubt the coming months are setting up as a potentially serious forest fire season. So, we understand why state lawmakers might be looking at ways of being better prepared. But we’re not sold on the idea of Colorado developing its own aerial firefighting fleet at an estimated cost of $20 million when other firefighting aircraft are available. A lot more work needs to be done to firmly establish how the current system fails to meet Colorado’s needs. To be sure, last year’s fire season was devastating. Six people lost their lives, and 647 homes were destroyed. But it is unclear whether additional slurry bombers or water-dropping helicopters would have reduced those distressing tolls. For instance, in fighting the High Park fire last summer, the approval process to have Colorado National Guard Blackhawk helicopters join suppression efforts took less than two hours once the request was made, said Micki Trost, spokeswoman for the state Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. They didn’t get off the ground until the next day, she said, not because of bureaucratic delay but because of high winds that made it unsafe to fly. That may not be the case in every instance, but it’s worth the time and effort to figure out whether a state air firefighting fleet could make a difference before committing substantial funds to such an effort. State Sen. Steve King, R-Grand Junction, is behind the state plan and

admits he’s a cop by training, not a “hose-dragger.” He wants to get firefighting experts involved to answer some of those questions, but tells us that he cannot get some in the administration of Gov. John Hickenlooper to state an opinion on the idea without seeing a specific bill, which has yet to be introduced. King says estimates put the cost of operating such a specialized fleet at $1.5 million per year, per plane, for a variety of assets, including slurry bombers, helicopters and reconnaissance aircraft. Yet, in our opinion, it’s unclear whether such firefighting capacity is available through existing partnerships and agreements with the U.S. Forest Service and the National Guard, or with private contractors. Lt. Patrick Richardson of Castle Rock Fire and Rescue tells us that for roughly $2,000 an hour, he was able to contract with a private fire suppression helicopter operator — fully certified by the federal government and the Forest Service — to put more water on a nearby fire than a fixed wing arranged through the state could have for about the same price. A lot of that had to do with logistics, and the availability of the helicopter at the time it was needed. But the broader point is that aerial fire suppression questions may not have one-size-fits-all answers. We appreciate the concern that King obviously has for public safety in pitching the firefighting fleet idea, but more work should be done in defining the problem before state lawmakers attempt to shape a solution.

Rape in Ohio shows perils and power of social media Shared photos and tweets about the crime helped convict two young men, but they also exposed their victim in a cruel way.

he crimes that two high school boys from Ohio committed against a drunken girl follow a disturbingly familiar story line of rape fueled by alcohol and bravado. What’s different about the Steubenville case is the part that social media played in so many facets of the crime and even post-conviction threats against the victim. The behavior has been shameful. And the roles that media such as Twitter and Facebook have had in the case highlight both the power and peril of such tools. On the one hand, the digital pictures and tweets about the assaults the two football players committed on the girl clearly were invaluable evidence in the quest for justice. The girl did not remember the assaults and physical evidence was scant. On the other, the use of social media exposed the victim in a most cruel way, and was a conduit for threats and pejorative comments that may have gone undelivered if not for the instantaneous nature of social media. There are many lessons to be taken from this tragedy. The first is the need to address the look-the-otherway culture that travels with certain male athletic teams when it comes to their treatment of women. Non-consensual sex is a crime — it’s rape — and coaches, athletes and fans must adopt a zero-tolerance attitude toward it, no matter how popular the players or proficient the team. The second is that young people

armed with smartphones, tablets and laptops really need to better understand the sort of damage they can inflict with social media. In this case, the 16-year-old victim awakened after a night of drinking to find herself naked, not knowing where she was or how she had gotten there, unable to find her underwear or her phone. She was unable to consent to what happened to her, and Trent Mays and Ma’lik Richmond — the two star football players who penetrated her with their fingers — surely knew that. Social media came into play as pictures of the naked girl were circulated, comments shared, and the victim came to learn what had happened to her the night before. It was, truly, a second victimization. The sentences the football players received will put them in juvenile facilities for at least a year, and that certainly will send a message to those in the community who rationalized what happened or failed to stand up for the victim. And Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine is conducting a grand jury investigation to pursue those who had knowledge about events but refused to come forward. Beyond that, we hope a broader cross-section of young people will come to understand the capacity that their digital comments and sharing have to hurt those already dealing with difficult circumstances.

The real “skewed polls”

ore than 100,000 people voted in one of The Denver Post’s online opinion polls last week, which is a significant number. But the poll’s result — with 70 percent of respondents favoring a ballot measure that would overturn a ban on high-capacity magazines — is largely insignificant. Certainly the result shows passion for one side of the issue, but it also shows something else — ballot stuffing. On a typical day we’ll have a few thousand readers weigh in on opinion poll — maybe 25,000 in a good week. But in the last week, we’ve counted more than 200,000 “votes” in a series of polls. Noticing the trend, a reader from Centennial wrote to ask if the polls “accurately reflect the opinions of the people of Colorado?” He was pointing specifically to a poll asking whether Democrats in the statehouse were overreaching. When we posted results of the overreach poll in the March 19 edition, 91 percent of 33,681 respondents said “yes.” What’s notable there is both the percentage who answered in the affirmative, but also the number who participated. The previous high was about 31,000 in a July 2012 poll in the wake of the Aurora theater shootings. On March 16 we asked for opinions on the bid to overturn a bill limiting gun magazines to 15 rounds. Watching those results online, one reader remarked:“It’s pretty obvious to me that someone is using their computer skills to manipulate the poll.”

CURTIS HUBBARD Denver Post editorial page editor

He’s right. This is not the “skewed polls” argument that challenged the weighting and methodology of many scientific polls during last fall’s presidential election. This phenomenon is real. Changing results of an online poll is simple and a common practice. If someone is passionate about an issue, they can — and often do — weigh in multiple times on a single question by voting from different devices. They can do it whether they live in Grand Junction or the Grand Caymans. An organized effort to influence results of an online poll is called “freeping.” The name is a nod to an online forum called the Free Republic, whose members are called “freepers.” They’re notorious for pushing results of online polls in one direction or another — notably on Second Amendment issues. In fact, they did it to our gunmagazine poll on March 15 (and to other polls on our site). After 24 hours online, the magazine question had received 26,704 votes, with 69 percent favoring a vote to overturn the law. Anti-overturn forces then mounted a campaign that pushed that figure down to nearly 51 percent. “Basically someone has hacked it and are adding an average of 26 votes per minute to the ‘keep the

CARROLL «FROM 1D The New York Times’ Justin Gillis — or who reviews an April 2012 interview with him in the Columbia Journalism Review — appreciates that he is an environmental activist at heart. So it was significant when he conceded not long ago, in a new monthly column, “We have to supply power and transportation to an eventual population of 10 billion people who deserve decent lives. … Many environmentalists believe that wind and solar power can be scaled to meet the rising demand, especially if coupled with aggressive efforts to cut waste. But a lot of energy analysts have crunched the numbers and concluded that today’s renewables, important as they are, cannot get us even halfway there.” If they cannot get us halfway there (and worldwide greenhouse emissions have risen steadily for decades with only brief dips during recessions) then other resources and technologies must also be deployed. That’s why Gillis focused his column on efforts by the Chinese and U.S. innovators such as Bill Gates and Nathan Myhrvold to create “new-age nuclear reactors.” Roger Pielke Jr., professor of environmental studies at the University of Colorado, noted recently that the Chinese government projects a buildout of nuclear power that “works out to about one new

Fox’s documentary has become the manifesto of the anti-fracking movement. Matt Rourke, AP plant per month from now until 2030. Sounds fantastic? I thought so too until I learned that China built 11 new nuclear plants in 2011.” Given China’s atrocious pollution problems, largely the result of coalfired plants, Pielke minces no words: “Looking to the energy future, one is necessarily either pronuclear and pro-gas (fracking) or one is pro-carbon dioxide and propollution.” In the U.S., anti-fracking activists like Josh Fox — he’s the “Gasland” filmmaker who misrepresented the cause of a flaming faucet in Weld County — increasingly insist that the U.S. could replace not just

ban’ column,” one freeper lamented. “After Dynachrome pings the list it’ll look better,” another remarked. (The user known as Dynachrome maintains a “ping list” of users summoned to help sway the vote in online polls — and shortly after he or she was engaged, support for overturning the ban climbed to 61 percent.) The poll also drew the attention of prominent conservative blogger Michelle Malkin and magazine maker Magpul, which posted a link to the poll in its Twitter feed. As of this writing, 112,000 votes (and climbing) have been received. That doesn’t mean gun-rights supporters are alone in rallying people to vote for their cause in an online poll. After the presidential debate at the University of Denver, almost 11,000 people voted in our poll, with 40 percent saying they thought Barack Obama won. That’s not just statistically irrelevant, it’s ridiculous. So, you’re probably wondering, if the polls are easily manipulated and non-scientific, why run them? Primarily because they engage readers in our product and, at some level, force people to think about issues we think are important. Online polls are, at best, informative. They are not — and should never be considered — statistically valid on the order of a scientific poll. Like many things you find online, they should be viewed with skepticism.

some coal plants, but gas too, with solar and wind. But this is fanciful, as Gillis implies. Not only does renewable energy remain intermittent and require gas backup, but most attempts to describe a fossilfree future resort to wild assumptions. A recent article in Energy Policy outlining a path to a fully renewable energy portfolio in New York state, for example, assumes for starters a 37 percent reduction in power consumption by 2030. Seriously? Just four years ago while visiting Denver, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told a gathering of Colorado Conservation Voters, “Coal is the enemy and gas is the friend.” Today, by contrast, Kennedy is taking credit for convincing Gov. Andrew Cuomo to pull back from a decision to allow limited drilling for natural gas in a southern tier of New York counties. And Kennedy’s cynical migration has been matched by the Sierra Club and other groups. “All of this comes at a time when carbon emissions are declining in the U.S. more than in any other country in the world,” write Michael Shellenberger and Ted Nordhaus of the Breakthrough Institute. Why? “The main reason is gas, which increased last year by almost the exact same amount that coal declined.” So don’t back down, governor. It would be, well, morally reckless to give in to the anti-drilling zealots. E-mail Vincent Carroll at vcarroll@denverpost.com. Follow him on Twitter @vcarrollDP

OP-ED

150 years later, Sand Creek still wounds By Tom Noel

Bill Schorr, Cagle Cartoons

Let’s not stop for red lights

n this time of raging gun debates, when elected officials in Colorado announce which laws they’ll choose to enforce and which laws they’ll ignore based on their own political beliefs, El Paso County has once again soared to the top of the state list of Most Embarrassing Places To Live. Running a close second is Weld County (proud county motto: “Moooo”), where Sheriff John Cooke sat in front of TV cameras recently to say he won’t enforce new gun laws because, well, he doesn’t like them. On a personal note, I have decided that when I am in rural parts of Weld County, I will not stop at red lights. If rural parts of Weld County have red lights. Further south, 60 miles from Denver and not far from the 19th century, we find El Paso County and Terry Maketa, a politician who also puts in a few hours a week as county sheriff. Last week, he gathered a few hundred riled-up gun nu … uh, I mean, staunch Second Amendment supporters, inside a government building in downtown Colorado Springs (with taxpayers picking up the costs for security and nighttime use of the building) and opened fire on the government. Sheriff Maketa said he wouldn’t obey new gun laws and wouldn’t enforce them. He said he would obstruct justice. He said he might sue the state to stop gun laws. He urged his throng of supporters to recall state Senate president John Morse, who pushed for the new gun laws. What it was, really, was the start of Maketa’s campaign to land another

MILLS «FROM 1D for ski areas; • It establishes responsibilities for skiers; and • It spells out risks inherent in the sport of skiing. All three tenets of the Ski Safety Act are as relevant, reasonable and necessary today as they were when the it was adopted 34 years ago. Since 1979, 27 states have modeled legislation similar to Colorado’s law. Under the law, ski area responsibilities include: marking trails; posting various warnings; chairlift instructions (chairlift operations are governed by another law); marking certain structures; delineating boundaries; and providing notice of on-mountain trail closures. Specific requirements apply to grooming vehicles and snowmobiles. Skiers can and do sue ski areas if they are injured by a ski area’s failure to carry out its responsibilities as described in the act. In fact, the Denver Post’s recent series on ski safety quoted lawyers who make a handsome living suing ski areas. Under the law, responsibilities of skiers and snowboarders include: knowing and skiing within the limits of one’s ability; maintaining control of one’s course and speed; obeying closures; heeding all posted information and warnings; and avoiding skiing or riding chairlifts if impaired by drugs

cushy government gig when his current cushy government gig ends next year. From the part-time sheriff with the full-time paycheck ($113,000 a year) who will be termlimited out of that elected office: “I don’t have any plan to run for governor, for Senate, for House.” The gun folks let out a sad, disappointed groan. But then Maketa brought them back to life, more or less, with this addendum to his pledge: “I say that knowing full well things could change.” (In other words, don’t rule out his putting his name in the hat for lieutenant governor.) The campaign actually began a week earlier, when hardcore Republican Maketa brought his act to local ultra-conservative radio talk show host Jeff Crank. On that show, Maketa unloaded a 100-round magazine on Sen. Morse, a rare Democrat from Possum Hollow — I mean, Colorado Springs —and accused Morse of withholding statewide salary increases for sheriffs because many sheriffs oppose any type of gun control. “It was almost bordering extortion,” Maketa said on the radio. “Attempted influence of a public official. It starts right at the top with the president of the Senate.” From an editorial in The Denver Post: “As it turns out, the sheriff has not produced proof of such an at-

or alcohol. A skier’s behavior has as much, if not more, to do with the safety of the sport as any piece of equipment from helmet to chairlift. The law states that skiing and snowboarding are inherently risky. The sports are gravityfed, and practiced on snowy surfaces and inclines. The Ski Safety Act articulates inherent risks, including changing weather conditions; snow conditions as they exist or may change; rocks, trees, and collisions with natural or manmade objects; and variations in steepness or terrain. It requires ski areas to inform skiers about these risks and provides that skiers injured through them may not sue the ski area. This key provision of the act was adopted to protect ski areas from claims and litigation for risks assumed by skiers because the risks are inherent and cannot be eliminated. It’s what allows ski areas to obtain insurance and keep the cost of skiing reasonable. Ski areas’ safety practices do not begin and end with the Ski Safety Act. Ski areas lead the recreation industry in their adoption of proactive safety measures and programs, including Lids on Kids, Smart Style, Objects are Closer Than They Appear, terrainparksafety.org, Kids on Lifts and National Safety Awareness Week. In 2011-2012, Colorado ski areas won industry awards for Best Chairlift Safety Education Program, Best Employee Safety Education Program, and Most Creative Safety Program.

tempt at coercion.” But when your next government job depends on how well you can fan the flames of ignorance, well, proof, schmoof. Back at the wild and raucous twohour meeting — which at times looked like a “Price is Right” audition in Arkansas — Maketa said any gun control is “the stepping stone to registration” of guns, which has never been proposed in Colorado. From his campaign speech: “We will not tolerate that kind of intrusion on our personal property rights.” The crowd stood and roared. You’d have thought someone was handing out free raccoon-pelt caps. Maketa was just warming up. “We have a database for concealed carry permit-holders,” he said. “What if the state passed a law that required you to turn over all of your database information? I’ll tell you what my answer would be: ‘What database? I no longer have one.’ ” The hootin’ and hollerin’ that followed grew even wilder and crazier, the kind generally reserved for when Ed Bobby successfully hoists another car up onto the cement blocks in his front yard. Then, when Maketa blasted Gov. John Hickenlooper over something or other, a guy in the audience bellowed, “He’s a Marxist! Just like Obama!” At this mention of Marx, the 300 people went silent for a moment — wondering, perhaps, if the guy meant Groucho or Harpo. Contact Rich Tosches at richtosches@gmail.com.

Despite ski areas’ proactive measures, skiers do suffer fatal and serious injuries annually. On average, a skier’s chance of having a fatal accident is about one in a million. In 2011-2012, 54 skiers and snowboarders died accidentally on ski slopes around the U.S. To put this in perspective, the National Safety Council reports that in 2010, 5,200 pedestrians were killed, 2,500 people drowned while swimming in public pools, and 800 people died while bicycling. While not an aspect of active sports that anyone wants to emphasize, these statistics are released annually to inform the public. Ski areas have grown up in Colorado and matured over the years. Skiing and snowboarding have evolved, but they continue to play a large role in the state’s identity. Skiing drives our winter tourism economy and is a source of pride for all who live here. What hasn’t changed is the desire of skiers and snowboarders to enjoy the pull of gravity, feel the cold fresh air in our faces, take in the splendor of our mountains, and revel in the unmatched camaraderie of a day on the slopes with friends or family. Colorado’s Ski Safety Act provides a reasonable and sensible framework for all this to happen. Let’s not mess with success. Melanie Mills is president and chief executive of Colorado Ski Country USA.

ri Kelman’s new book, “A Misplaced Massacre: Struggling over the Memory of Sand Creek” (Harvard University Press, March 2013) and the controversial Sand Creek exhibit at History Colorado have reignited debate among scholars and the tribes: How should we remember the worst slaughter in Colorado history as we approach the 150th anniversary? The most persistently controversial episode in Colorado’s history happened on a now-dried-up stream in a remote corner of southeast Colorado. The stream’s official name is Big Sandy Creek, yet it has flowed into history as Sand Creek. There in the early morning of Nov. 29, 1864, Col. John M. Chivington ordered his command of some 700 soldiers to attack a sleeping camp of Arapahoe and Cheyenne Indians. Chivington’s troops slaughtered more than 160 mostly old men, women and children camped where the army had told them to camp under a U.S. flag and a white flag. Two professional soldiers refused to join the massacre, and later testified against Chivington. In December 1864, Captain Silas Soule wrote to Major Edward “Ned” Wynkoop, who had been relieved of his command at Fort Lyon for being too soft on Indians: “I refused to fire and swore that none but a coward would, for by this time hundreds of women and children were coming toward us, and getting on their knees for mercy … . I tell you Ned it was hard to see little children on their knees have their brains beat out by men professing to be civilized … . One woman was cut open, and a child taken out of her, and scalped.” Discovered in 2000, Soule’s letter was used by then-Colorado U.S. Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell to help persuade Congress to create the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site. The Congress of 135 years earlier had similar concerns. After two congressional investigations and a military commission hearing, Chivington was condemned for “a foul and dastardly massacre.” He resigned early in 1865 before he could be court marshaled. Chivington has his defenders. They see Sand Creek as appropriate revenge for Indian depravations such as the massacre of the Hungate Family, and point out that Chivington starred as the hero at the battle of La Glorieta Pass in 1862, stopping Texas Confederates from invading Colorado Territory. Chivington came to Colorado as one of the first and most successful

LIPSHER «FROM 1D and even high-speed crashes with company snowmobiles. One can hardly blame operators of the state’s 25 ski areas for taking full advantage of the Ski Safety Act to minimize legal liability. But ski resorts largely are responsible for investigating accidents themselves — often by members of the ski patrol who have only rudimentary training — and resort operators steadfastly refuse to disclose injury statistics or details of specific incidents, including fatalities. That inherent conflict of interest is enabled, in part, by the U.S. Forest Service, which owns most of the land on which Colorado’s ski areas operate. Instead of serving its putative role as a government agency overseeing the use of its land, the Forest Service considers itself a “partner” of the resorts and gets a small share of gross revenues. For example, as Crummy detailed in her series, Vail’s winter operations plan specifies: “Forest Service personnel will avoid publicly discrediting (Vail) in any way. Any questions of a sensitive nature will be referred to Vail management.” Understanding that ski areas shouldn’t be liable for a guest breaking a leg in a fall — even if it’s by slipping on an icy patch at the paved base area — the state legislature

Methodist missionaries. He stood nearly 6 feet, 5 inches tall, weighed more than 200 pounds, and spoke with a booming voice. A champion of muscular Christianity, he joined the U.S. Army in Colorado at the start of the Civil War as a self-styled “fighting parson.” Chivington’s bizarre career does not end with Sand Creek. In 1865, after his son drowned, he married his daughter-in-law (some accounts say after seducing her). Six years later, she filed for divorce from a “criminal” for “nonsupport.” Chivington had been lobbying Washington to pay him for Indian damages. Even more ironic, when he returned to Denver in 1883, he was elected county coroner. After his death in Denver in 1894, many Coloradans eulogized the man at a service at Trinity United Methodist Church and burial at Fairmount Cemetery. At the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site, the U.S. government, for the first time ever, acknowledged that its army committed a massacre by putting the word into the official name. Museum-goers can also learn about the history of the massacre at the History Colorado Center in Denver. Although Colorado’s most painful story, it needs to be told. Tom Noel, professor of history and director of Public History and Preservation at CUDenver, welcomes your comments at www.drcolorado. auraria.edu.

nonetheless should tighten the Ski Safety Act to spell out that resort operators have responsibilities to protect their guests reasonably and disclose injury statistics rather than simply hiding behind the “inherent risk” clause. Resorts should be responsible if a ski lift fails catastrophically due to improper maintenance or when an on-duty ski instructor slams into another skier, as happened in 2009 in a crash involving a 9-year-old at Breckenridge. A federal District Court judge in that lawsuit found that the ski area had immunity because collisions with other skiers is considered an inherent risk. They should be held responsible if they are negligent in their maintenance of resort infrastructure, as was the case when Vail failed to properly mitigate a piece of metal sticking out from a skier bridge that was due for replacement at the end of the season, resulting in the injury of a season pass-holder. And the legislature should spell out that additional waivers like those signed by season pass-holders are against public policy, as the Utah Supreme Court has determined.

Finally, recent contradictory lower-court rulings over whether an avalanche is an inherent risk of skiing also should be reconciled. Grand County District Judge Mary C. Hoak ruled that avalanches are an inherent risk in ruling against the family of Christopher Norris, who was killed in an in-bounds avalanche at Winter Park in 2012. But Broomfield District Court Judge Patrick Murphy ruled that avalanches are not risks assumed by skiers in the lawsuit filed by the family of Taft Conlin, a teen killed that same day at Vail. That is, admittedly, a difficult call: For all of the studies, local knowledge and expertise among ski patrols, avalanche forecasting remains an imprecise science, and even heavily skied slopes can slide under the right circumstances. The Skier Safety Act makes good sense for an activity that combines humans, nature and speed, but it should not be a blanket get-out-of-jail-free card for resorts.

OP-ED ESTHER J. CEPEDA

Zealots endanger freedom

Washington Post Writers Group

A gesture that translates

omething bordering on the miraculous happened at my community high school the other night: The parents who speak only Spanish were included and respected in a meeting in a way that did not turn the whole thing into a big, fat mess. In the past, the school district’s well-intentioned efforts to include non-English-speaking parents in assemblies had turned them into long, plodding exercises in maintaining focus through short bursts and long pauses. A presenter would impart a message in chunks and a translator would repeat the information in Spanish. Invariably, the English speaker would go for way too long without breaking to let the translator catch up. Then the Spanish information would stream out, sometimes too quickly to understand. The crowd would get shifty and exasperated because both audiences were waiting to hear the portion that was for them. The presentations would take twice as long as they would have in a single language, and some parents left agitated. When piling out of the gymnasium or auditorium, it was not uncommon to hear loud complaints of English-only speakers of the sort that would usually be limited to behind-closed-doors harrumphing about school communications arriving home printed in two languages. Such is life in a community that was once strictly blue-collar white and over the course of a very few years became 50 percent Hispanic. You don’t have to hang around the local coffee shops too long before you hear someone grousing that the signs on Main Street businesses are increasingly only in Spanish. The dual-language school assemblies were a nightmare — at least half the crowd felt left out at any given moment — and it reinforced to longtime residents that their new neighbors were making things worse, not better. So imagine my surprise when I attended a recent meeting in which the Spanish-speaking families were outfitted with discreet headsets streaming real-time translation from a school employee. A quick check around the room showed an equally engaged audience. No one sat glassy-eyed for their turn to listen, no one grouched about how long it was taking and, best of all, I didn’t hear any snarky grumblings about how people “should learn to speak the language.” I fully agree that parents of public schoolchildren should be responsible for making every attempt to speak the primary language of their community. I, too, wish that our financially struggling, academically failing schools weren’t further burdened by the intense needs of children and parents who can barely communicate in English. But even when attacked with fervor, English-language acquisition doesn’t always happen quickly enough to make it possible for parents to actively participate in their child’s education without some help. According to the National Education Policy Center’s just-released brief on English-language learners and parental involvement, these students mainly attend schools with few resources and low instructional capacities and have high communication barriers to overcome. The No. 1 tonic for clearing those obstacles is strengthening parental involvement in school. Among many best-practice recommendations, such as recruiting ELL families as volunteers and audiences and including them in school governance, is the practice of providing translators for all key parent meetings. The inconspicuous translation services benefit everyone. It’s somewhat expensive, but as far as I’m concerned, any system that both accommodates a second language and equally respects all the cultures present in a school community is worth its weight in gold.

o get at the devil, says the young zealot Will Roper in “A Man for All Seasons,” Robert Bolt’s play, “I’d cut down every law in England.” Thomas More, the wise old churchman, comes back at him: “When the last law was down, and the devil turned round on you, where would you hide, the laws all being flat? Do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then?” That’s the question someone should ask state Sen. Pat Steadman about the now-famous “Get thee to a nunnery” speech, in which he scornfully dismissed the constitutional guarantee of free exercise of religion for Coloradans who may object to same-sex marriage or civil unions. Persons of faith can “be as judgmental as you like” toward homosexual people, said Steadman with biting sarcasm in the Senate on Feb. 8, provided you “go inside your church” and confine your religious practice there. Just don’t “claim that religion requires (you) to discriminate” outside the church walls. It’s difficult to put ourselves in another’s shoes, especially on something as existential as sexuality. But I imagine that for gays — such as Pat Steadman, with whom I have worked amicably for years — it probably seems as if the age-old antipathy to them is indeed the devil’s doing and, as such, calls for se-

vere measures in return. But his civil unions bill, signed into law last week without a meaningful conscience clause to protect fellow citizens who believe, for example, that God wants an adopted child to have both a mother and a father, goes too far. Not only does its “cut-down-all” severity flatten our most precious right, religious freedom, it also ultimately threatens the life and liberty of every American, gay or straight, atheist or God-fearing, for exactly the reason More gave Roper. Raw majoritarianism, exemplified in Steadman’s absolutist legislation and rhetoric, serves no one’s best interest in a free society — because endless paybacks are sure to ensue, “the laws all being flat.” We have a constitution with stern prohibitions on what government shall not do to unpopular or outnumbered individuals and groups, precisely because zealous majorities are tempted to tyrannize the minority if left unchecked. This is what led to pastors in Canada and Sweden being convicted for criticizing homosexuality. It’s what led to Catholic adoptions in Boston shutting down, for lack of a conscience clause. “Do as you like, inside your church,” or convent, or monastery, the terms of surrender proffered to religious Coloradans by Steadman on Feb. 8, would trade a genuine freedom of religion for a hollow, privatized freedom of worship. What’s the difference between the two? Freedom of religion allows you

to speak and act, in daily life and in the public square, upon your best understanding of what the God you serve requires of you. Freedom of worship only allows you to honor Him behind closed doors, while out in the world you must render totally to Caesar. That’s “totally,” as in totalitarianism. They never closed the churches in 1930s Germany; clergymen were simply told to stick to their sermons and let Hitler build the Reich. Nor did the Soviets enforce atheism. Worshippers could still gather, but Stalin acidly observed the Pope had no divisions. Reminds you of the civil unions bill sponsor waving away claims of conscience because he didn’t need the Christian vote. Secularism can be as theocratic as Islam. Gay rights needn’t lead there, but it’s a danger. Kevin Miller diagnoses the tendency in his arresting book, “Freedom Nationally, Virtue Locally.” Americans are increasingly “worshipping the state,” notes Benjamin Wiker in a book by that name, and he warns such political zealotry might finish us. For who could stand upright in the winds that would blow then?

For GOP substance, deregulate

ecause of the grotesquely swollen place the presidency now occupies in the nation’s governance and consciousness, we are never not preoccupied with presidential campaigning. The Constitution’s Framers would be appalled. The nation reveres the Framers, but long ago abandoned the presidential selection process they considered so important that they made it one of the four national institutions created by the Constitution. Hence the significance of the Republican National Committee’s suggested reforms for the 2016 process. University of Virginia professor James Ceaser says the four national institutions the Framers created were Congress, the Supreme Court, the presidency and the presidential selection system based on the Electoral College. The fourth, wherein the selection of candidates and election of a president by each state’s electors occurred simultaneously — they were the same deliberation — soon disappeared. Since the emergence of the party system in the 1790s, and the ratification of the 12th Amendment in 1804, candidates have been selected by several different processes. First by their party’s congressional caucuses; then by nominating conventions controlled by the party’s organizations; then by conventions influenced by primaries and caucuses; and, since 1972, entirely by primaries and caucuses that have made conventions nullities. Now, responding to the fact that the 2012 nomination process was ruinously protracted, the RNC sug-

gests reforms that might, like many improvements, make matters worse. This is because of a prior “improvement”: campaign finance reform. The RNC suggests a shorter nominating season with fewer debates — none earlier than Sept. 1, 2015. The 20 debates in 2012 were actually one fewer than in 2008. But in 2000 there were 13. In 1988, seven. In 1980, just six. The May 5, 2011, debate was eight months before the Iowa caucuses. In 1980, the first was 16 days before Iowa voted. The RNC report does not challenge the role of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada in beginning the delegate selection. Perhaps it is not worth the trouble to challenge these states’ anachronistic entitlement; like all entitlements, it is fiercely defended by the beneficiaries. But a reform process that begins by accepting this crucial component of the status quo substantially limits possibilities. By the time these four states have had their say, the field of candidates often has been considerably — and excessively — winnowed, and the outcome is, if not settled, given a trajectory that is difficult to alter. Supporters of Sen. Rand Paul, or of any other candidate thoroughly unenthralled by the policies and procedures that have resulted in Republicans losing the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections, are understandably suspicious of any proposed changes that might tilt the nomination process

against the least known and less-lavishly funded candidates. They are especially apt to squint disapprovingly at the RNC’s suggestion of regional primaries. The party, however, must balance two imperatives. One is the need to enlarge the number of voters participating in the process. Hence the suggestion that primaries should replace all nominating caucuses and conventions — events where ideologically motivated activists and insurgent candidates can more easily predominate. The party’s second imperative is to preserve opportunities for lessknown and financially challenged candidates to break through. This is where government restrictions on campaign contributions restrict the range of candidates from which voters can choose. Suppose political contributing were deregulated, which would deregulate political speech, the dissemination of which is the principal use of campaign contributions. This would make it easier to design a more compressed nominating process, with a reduced role for the first four states, which also would allow marginal candidates a financial opportunity to fight their way into the top tier of candidates. Anyway, tinkering with the party’s political process is no substitute for improving the party’s political substance. No nominating process featuring an array of candidates as weak and eccentric as the Republicans’ 2012 field would have produced a much better result.

America needs highspeed rail

ast month, graphic designer and railroad aficionado Alfred Twu published a stunning map of what America would look like if virtually every last nook and cranny of the country were connected by a state-ofthe-art, 220-mph rail network. Twu’s plan for a national high-speed rail system could get passengers from Cheyenne, Wyo., to Albany, N.Y., in just under 12 hours. It captured an old-school patriotic longing among young techsavvy Americans for big, prestige projects with a design that was elegant in its simplicity. Online media outlets described Twu as a “visionary.” “This Is What America’s High-Speed Rail System Should Look Like” was one typically glowing headline. Some conservatives had a different description for Twu and his map. “High-speed rail supporter Alfred Twu has gotten a lot of attention for having boldly drawn a map of where he thinks high-speed trains should go,” wrote Randal O’Toole of the libertarian Cato Institute. “Twu’s map is even more absurd than Obama’s plan,” he wrote, describing high-speed rail in general as a “ridiculous fantasy.” O’Toole’s reaction demonstrated one of the principal reasons why American high-speed rail has been mostly stymied: One person’s beautiful vision of the future is another’s terrifying government boondoggle. The Obama plan to use $8 billion in stimulus money as a carrot to get states to invest in high-speed rail went down in flames two years ago. It failed largely because Republican governors in states such as Florida rejected federal funds. But if there were some way to get beyond partisan politics and legal battles over right-ofway issues, what would an ideally efficient map of an American highspeed rail system actually look like? To be fair to his critics, it probably wouldn’t look like Twu’s map. While beautiful in its design, Twu’s fanciful vision connects cities that are too far apart to have any kind of reliable passenger base, and it does so with little regard for geographical and engineering constraints. “Between Los Angeles and Denver there are huge segments of not only desert, but also mountain ranges that the high speed rail tracks would have to be built through,” says Dan Schned, a senior planner at America 2050, a national infrastructure planning and policy program. Another flaw in Twu’s dream of “the country as one connected city” is that it would serve routes that didn’t actually have any passengers. But fast, efficient, modern railways don’t have to be just a fantasy art project. America 2050 has been heavily involved in attempting to establish which corridors make the most sense for high-speed rail. In 2011, it published a comprehensive report analyzing 7,870 potential high-speed rail corridors in the country’s 11 “megaregions” where 70 percent of the nation’s population resides. Typical mega-regions include the Northeast corridor, the Great Lakes states, California and the Southwest, and the Northwestern “Cascadia” region of Washington and Oregon. Using a handful of criteria, including population, employment, the market for air travel, and automobile traffic congestion, the study attempted to establish which routes would be most ideal for high-speed rail construction. Experts mention a “sweet spot” of between 100 and 600 miles for highspeed rail corridor trips. Shorter than 100 miles, and a rider is more likely to want to take a conventional train, a car, or a bus. Longer than 600 miles and a rider is better off flying. The potential efficiencies of highspeed rail along corridors with proven ridership figures are getting tougher and tougher to deny. “We have millions of people living right now in this country in places where they don’t have adequate inter-city transportation,” says Christopher Barkan, director of the railroad engineering program at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. If we could connect those people in a way that cuts greenhouse emissions, comes at a lower cost for commuters, allows them to access wireless networks and work during trips, and is profitable, the potential economic and environmental efficiencies would easily be worth the initial investment.

Colorado Civil Union Act

moms. We are invited to events as a couple. We are both covered under one insurance plan. We share living and education costs jointly. We both shuttle the kids from school to practices to rehearsals to games without too much complaining. We eat meals around the same table. We drive each other crazy arguing over which exit to take on road trips. We spend too much time prodding our sons to shift from their screens to their homework on a daily basis. There is no doubt: We are already a couple. We are already a family. And even though some may question the validity of our relationship — something that frankly still puzzles us — we never have. With the civil unions bill becoming law on May 1, we will finally have the opportunity for the state to legally recognize our relationship, catching up to where we — and our friends, family, and communities — have been all along. Like many LGBT folks in Colorado, we have been celebrating this momentous news. But if we’re already so blissfully happy, why get civilly unionized? To be honest, we remain slightly ambivalent. We are not at all oblivious to the benefits of a civil union. Legally, civil unions define who we are relative to other couples, other service providers, and to the legal institutions that assign benefits we can and cannot partake in our society. A civil union reflects and assures mutual financial responsibility in a relationship, an ability to make health care decisions for our partner, the right to inherit property and the right to protect our property from garnishment. In the case of emergencies, civil unions guarantee hospital visitation rights and the right to inherit property and benefits should one of us die. Finally, it creates a structure by which we could legally share our worth — with each other and our children — should we ever (God forbid) separate. Perhaps most important, then, in contrast to our domestic partnership or our designated beneficiary status, a civil union is much more understandable to most other Coloradans. It brings clarity as we explain our relationship and frame our family in simple terms like love, respect, and commitment. Terms we all understand. We aren’t alone in needing these rights. According to U.S. Census data, there were at least 12,484 same-sex households (likely a low estimate) in Colorado in 2010. These relationships exist throughout the state and are not

While Denver doctor Mark Thrun and his partner, Geoffrey Bateman, plan to have a civil union ceremony now that Colorado allows it, both say they are looking forward to legal marriage. Karl Gehring, The Denver Post line and not marry in other states that allowed same-sex partners to do so. It was a little self-righteous, we admit, but still, we had our principles. In the past months, as we’ve contemplated civil unions, we’ve wondered: Maybe we should continue to wait for marriage? We asked our boys what they thought. Their response was simple: You should do both. Get a civil union and then get married, too. They are both worth celebrating. We think they are right. Our relationship is measured in backyard barbeques; degrees earned; birthday parties and the friends that attend them; school assemblies; lives impacted through teaching and care provided; football playoffs; and theater productions. It is a compilation of vacations with family, homework, professional accomplishments, Rockies games, and snowball fights in the backyard. Even more, it is the quiet night spent reading or watching a movie on the couch. It’s the laughter at the dinner table and the giggling in bed at night. These are the events we should be celebrating. But far too often we forget to honor these daily milestones of our life, or complain that we are too busy to do so. Cultivating relationships, family and community takes work, even if it is deeply satisfying. So much so that finding the time to recognize and

necessarily concentrated on the Front Range as some might assume. Samesex couples are your neighbors, coworkers, your friends, and members of your families. We live in Colorado’s cities, in its suburbs and small towns. Without intending to sound overly dramatic, we are everywhere. But despite these benefits, a civil union is not a marriage in the government’s eye, especially at the federal level. We will still be denied many benefits afforded our straight friends. We cannot file joint taxes; we pay taxes on our current health care benefits (which married couples do not); we cannot access retirement benefits like Social Security; and if we moved to another state, our civil union would likely not be recognized. To be clear, a civil union is not marriage. And in this nation that takes such pride in the hard-won principles of equality, we cannot fathom how some view our relationship as inferior, or as not deserving of equal standing before the law. Years ago, we decided that we would wait to join legally in a relationship when we could be married in Colorado. We have never understood why our straight friends would have the privilege of using that term when our relationship was clearly no different, nor our family, in any significant way. And so we agreed to take a hard

appreciate them can be elusive. So we plan to heed our kids’ advice. At midnight on May 1, we hope to become one of the first few couples to join in a civil union in Colorado. Will our family be much different after this act? Probably not. We don’t need the state to confer meaning on our lives. But it will create a level of security that does not currently exist for us. It will secure an even more stable future for our boys. It will provide clarity for others coming in contact with our family. It will acknowledge our years of hard work and effort. And so we will celebrate. We will celebrate the state of Colorado, which will soon affirm our relationship in a way previously not possible. We will celebrate the LGBT community and the individuals and organizations that continue to fight for equity. We will celebrate the many people in our lies, from the families of one son’s suburban football team to the teachers in our other son’s Catholic school, who have embraced us and never once have denied our worth as a family. We will celebrate the members of our extended families who constantly model for us living in spirit and in love, as well as our sons’ mothers, who’ve co-parented with us all these years. We will celebrate for ourselves, for the good days and the bad that add to our growing and evolving sense of being a couple. And we will celebrate for our boys, the ones who will benefit most from the legal and social affirmation of our relationship. We will take pride in the fact that our boys have been witnesses to history, and perhaps even played a role in creating it themselves. At the same time, we will remember that we still have a way to go until we reach full equality. And when marriage comes, we will do it all over again, because our relationship is worth recognizing and celebrating. Maybe even more than once. We hope you will join our friends, our family, and our children as we commemorate our relationship. Join us at midnight on May 1. But don’t wait until then to begin your own celebration. Start celebrating your own life, as we will ours. Mark Thrun is a public health physician in Denver. Geoffrey Bateman teaches peace and justice studies at Regis University. They have not registered anywhere for their civil union, so don’t worry about bringing a gift.

Frequently asked questions: What is a civil union? A civil union is a form of statelevel relationship recognition that provides committed gay and lesbian couples with the critical legal protections they need to be able to take care of each other. Will civil unions impact federal benefit programs and protections? Civil unions only provide statelevel protections and benefits. They will only impact benefit programs of the state of Colorado at this time. The federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) currently prevents the federal government from recognizing same-sex spouses for federal purposes such as Social Security survivor benefits, federal income and estate taxes, and immigration. It is unclear whether that will change due to litigation underway now. Will civil unions impact clergy, churches and other houses of worship? Clergy, churches and other faithbased institutions will not be affected by civil unions; they will retain religious freedom to marry or bless unions based on their religious beliefs. No houses of worship or members of the clergy will be required to perform a union against their will or by compulsion of the government. The civil unions law will protect religious freedom for all houses of worship. Will a marriage or civil union in another state be recognized in Colorado? A marriage, civil union, domestic partnership or substantially similar legal relationship between two persons that was legally created in another jurisdiction will be recognized as a civil union in Colorado. What if I have a marriage or civil union entered in another state years ago but we never legally dissolved the relationship. Can I get a civil union in Colorado? To obtain a civil union in Colorado, you may not currently be in a marriage or civil union with another person. If you have previously been married or party to a civil union, you must provide the name of the spouse or other party and either the date, place and court in which the marriage or civil union was dissolved or declared invalid, or the date and place of death of your deceased spouse or deceased party to a civil union. Will civil unions provide access to state worker programs for state employees in a civil union? The Colorado Civil Union Act will provide access to the following benefits for state employees in a civil union: right to designate a party to a civil union as a beneficiary under the state public employees’ retirement system, survivor benefits under local government firefighter or police pensions, and group benefit plans for state employees. How will civil unions impact access to insurance? For insurance policies issued, delivered or renewed on or after Jan. 1, 2014, the Colorado Civil Union Act will allow parties to a civil union to cover their partner as a dependent in life insurance, health insurance and other insurance policies that provide coverage relating to joint ownership of property.

Freezing truth, in the moment Documentary photos find a place in news and galleries By Ray Mark Rinaldi The Denver Post

There are ambiguous and sometimes unfair differences between the photojournalism you get from a serious news operation and the documentary photographs you see hanging on the walls in galleries and museums. One, of course, is their street value. You can get slide shows full of photos from The Denver Post for free, while a good Edward Weston might fetch a million-plus. Another is the way they are printed and presented; separated, framed and stuck strategically to a white wall, or cropped and crammed above an advertisement for teeth implants. I wouldn’t dare say one is more artful than the other; neither is one more difficult to create. Cindy Sherman may have spent days making herself look like a battered corpse for her famous self-portrait “Untitled #153” (sale price: $2.7 million at auction ) but Denver Post shooter Joe Amon spent months and risked his safety shooting drug addicts for his 2012 series “Heroin in Denver” (sale price: $0.00 at denverpost.com). But journalists and documentary artists have different aims, the first seeks to present the truth and stay out of the picture while the other only needs to capture a truth and is free to pose, coach and alter the scenery. It’s more than that really, as two intriguing gallery exhibits in Denver make clear. Artists draw us in with the tricks that were developed ages ago by painters and manifested on film

it’s not just graphic, it’s downright acrobatic By Joanne Ostrow Denver Post Television Critic

Discretion used to be the better part of TV sex scenes. Even as portrayals of love and lust got steamier, the anatomical particulars were left to the imagination, off camera or under covers. Hollywood’s old visual pun, the camera panning from a couple romancing in the foreground to fireworks exploding in the background, was updated over the years. Now the precise style, duration and heat register of sexual fireworks are enacted onscreen. The first evolution in TV’s approach to

Sonja Rieger’s portrait of “Anthony St. James,” at the Carmen Wiedenhoeft Gallery through April 5.

sex involved the quantity of the sex on screen. The next evolution, the one going on now, seems to be in the manner of the sex portrayed. No position is too acrobatic, no amount of skin too graphic to depict on television. The potential awkwardness of the act seems to fascinate TV directors. It’s not just television: from the popularity of E.L. James’ “Fifty Shades of Grey” to the ubiquity of kink on the Internet, from a recent New York Times story on the proliferation of S&M clubs to the nightly prime-time disclaimers (TV-MA, L, S, V), the porning of pop culture is upon us.

Thank cable for ushering more graphic depictions of sex, violence and sexual violence from the World Wide Web into the living room with a wealth of literate (and award-winning) adult dramas. Depictions of sex and sexuality of every flavor are on view, not least in otherworldly settings (“Battlestar Galactica”) and fantastical comedic settings (“Sex and the City”). “True Blood” and “Mad Men” raised the stakes. Increasingly, athleticism is the hallmark of small-screen sexual encounters. A bed is often the last place you’d find a sex scene. SEX » 6E

Best little cinema in Texas comes to Littleton By Lisa Kennedy Denver Post Film Critic

It is quite possibly one of the funniest PSAs — ever. It’s also pretty darn karmically correct. After all most visitors to an Alamo Drafthouse theater know that the indie chain has a strict no-gabbing, no-texting policy. You talk. You text. Buh-bye. A patron who claimed not to have known now helps others to never forget. Booted out of one of the company’s Austin, Texas, theaters for texting, she decided to leave a profanitypunctuated voice-mail message. The good folks at Alamo thought it so insanely delightful they made it into a “No Talking, No Texting” pre-movie ad. The ad went viral, big-time, with more than 4 million hits on YouTube. When you go to the new Alamo Drafthouse Littleton outpost in the Aspen Grove shopping center, you’ll be treated to that PSA. In, we might add, some of the best digital sound in town. The 33,000-square-foot complex has seven theaters. The largest is 204 seats, the smallest a sweet 40. Seating is reserved. There’s a vast kitchen above the theaters with a nerve center of point-of-service monitors in order to aid the delivery of freshly made food and beverages to patrons (burgers, pizzas, salad, full bar and non-alcoholic fare). There’s an intimate bar adjacent to the theater called the Glass Half Full, which boasts 32 Colorado brews on tap. Monday, the Austin-based outfit launches the grand opening of its Colorado multiplex with “An Evening With Pam Grier.” The Colorado resident and blaxploitation icon will be on hand as Devin Faraci, editor of the company’s website mag Badass Digest celebrates the 1970s star’s work: from “Coffy” to “Foxy Brown” to Quentin Tarantino’s “Jackie Brown.” Alamo didn’t get its hipster cred by merely serving icy brews and eats in its original and much-beloved warehouse district home in Austin. As it should be, it grew its crazy reputation

with added film-geek attractions. Before the feature films start, Alamo shows an in-house-produced 30-minute pre-show (no ads), typically reflective of the main flick. “To get people in movie mode,” says Tom DeFrancia, Alamo partner and creative manager. Beginning April 4, Alamo Drafthouse Littleton will strut out examples of “signature” programming. Among the offerings: A “Big Lebowski” Quote Along (April 5); “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” spaghetti Western dinner (April 7); and “Girlie Night: Dirty Dancing” (April 10). Alamo broke ground on the Littleton site last April. That summer it sponsored the popular outdoor Aspen Grove Free Family Film Series in

order to reach out to the Littleton community. “We’re a chain but we want to reflect the local community,” says DeFrancia.

Alamo began in 1997 when Tim and Karrie League’s first foray as theater owners sputtered and died in California. The pair packed their Tejon theater’s 200 seats and headed from California to Austin where they converted a former parking garage into a onescreen, second-run theater that served food in a cabaret-like atmosphere for movie geeks like themselves. That modest start has grown into a multi-endeavor brand of which League is CEO/founder. In addition to the chain of theaters, the genre-film gathering League launched in 2005, known as Fantastic Fest, has grown into one of the nation’s largest. More recently the company has taken on the movie-distribution biz with Drafthouse Films. One of the early movies released,

2012’s “Bullhead” from Belgium went on to be nominated for a best-foreign language Oscar. “As we expand nationally, it makes it easier to really get behind specific programming. Trying to influence people to see what we think are important movies,” says League. So whatever happened to our irate friend on the Alamo Drafthouse voice mail? “She never came out publicly except this one time on a country radio station in Austin,” Teague says. “She was still pretty feisty but remained anonymous.” Lisa Kennedy: 303-954-1567, lkennedy@denverpost.com or twitter.com/bylisakennedy

Sonja Rieger’s photo, “Nycole Roberts,” at the Carmen Wiedenhoeft Gallery through April 5.

and now digitally: The use of backgrounds and artificial lights, the play of light and shadow, symbolism, the composition of lines and shapes meant to manipulate the viewing experience to meet the photographer’s own point of view. At the Carmen Wiedenhoeft Gallery downtown, Sonja Rieger uses all those tools for “Dazzling,” her photographs of transgender pageants in Birmingham, Ala., where she lives. With this crowd, sequins are the drug of choice, as addictive as any knock of heroin. The stars of these scenes are as glamorous as runway models, as burly as linebackers. Their hair is big, their costumes frilly and feathery, their makeup all show-biz. They are, by and large, large and beautiful. Rieger’s portraits, all set before solid black, look like studio takes, as deliberate as those old Dutch masters. But they’re not. These are quick snapshots of the contestants just before they strutted their multigender stuff down the runway in hopes of capturing a title at the Mr. and Miss Platinum International Newcomer pageant. Rieger stopped them backstage just for a minute. That’s as close as you can get to actual photojournalism except that Rieger is out to show more than what happened that night in Birmingham. Her portraits close in on the details, the bad seams, the cheap fabrics, the body oil. We see the spirit of drag, the cheap, high art that it is. We feel the whoosh of the boa as it passes by. We smell the boy sweat coming from these hot women. And the straightforward portraits among them, from the waist up, force us to take seriously the human qualities on display. By cropping the head off “Anthony St. James” and just showing us her subject’s sparkling cuffs and shiny cleavage, Rieger reminds us that there aren’t two genders; there are 2 million of them. Reiger has other photos on display, all getting at the duality of her city, a diptych of a cross burning and a storm cloud, scenes from an aging nightclub. Birmingham looks to be odd, awful and enticing all at once.

Woodsy shots at MCAD At the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, Lucas Foglia takes us on his own long, strange trip. The photographer spent years traveling through the Southeast United States photographing people who choose to live outside mainstream society, off the grid, in the woods, apart. These are folks who kill their own dinner, bathe in ponds and go naked naturally. One shot shows “Venison for Canning” being drained of its blood in a bathtub. Another gives us a topless, raven-aired “Rebecca with Squirrel Loincloth.” One might fairly assume she did the skinning herself. Foglia’s digital prints do a fine job of connecting these people to the world they live in. There is a back-to-earth heroism in “Nathan Scything the Lawn” and “James Aiming” — aiming his bow toward some unseen prey. The tools here get equal visual billing to the humans wielding them — they are effective symbols of what it takes to survive this lifestyle. In “Alex with Gourd,” a hippie appears as resolute in his existence as the vegetable he has raised from the earth. The photos — the selection is curated by Denver photographer Mark Sink — also connect these outsiders to those of us in the larger world: a father swims with his daughter, a girl writes on a chalkboard. It’s not that simple, dad isn’t wearing clothes, the girl is homeschooled. But these are human scenes of families and farmers and that, ultimately, makes them real. Joe Amon captured a similar humanity in his heroin series, on view at denverpost.com/heroin, all within the fly-on-thewall limits set by contemporary journalistic ethics. His addicts make for a sick, shocking scene in healthy Colorado. It’s impossible not to feel a sad, solidarity with Danny Leslie and Sara Landry as they grieve at the coffin of their sister Amanda, who overdosed. Amon’s pictures won the 2012 Community Service Photojournalism Award from the American Society of Newspaper Editors this month, and it’s easy to see why. All of these photos — the ones in the galleries, the ones in your recycling pile — find their own way to honesty, via different paths, over varied time frames. That’s what makes them compelling. We may value them differently on the open market, but they remind us of one thing in equal amount: In an age when everything has started to move, a stilled instance remains a powerful thing.

Biographer Wil Haygood speaks about his article that led to “The Butler” movie By Joanne Davidson The Denver Post

Some of the most entertaining, and informative, biographies today are those written by Wil Haygood. “King of Cats: The Life and Times of Adam Clayton Powell Jr.” and “Sweet Thunder: The Life and Times of Sugar Ray Robinson” are among them. His writing took off in an exciting new direction, though, when an article that he wrote for the Washington Post in 2008 about legendary White House butler Eugene Allen was made into a movie with a cast that includes Jane Fonda, Oprah Winfrey, John Cusack, Forest Whitaker, Robin Williams, Cuba Gooding Jr., Mariah Carey and Vanessa Redgrave. Haygood spoke about “The Butler,” due out later this year, when he came to Denver last week for an event hosted by Morgan Stanley Wealth Management for members and friends of Delta Eta Boulé.

She is one of 23 commissioners of the National Museum of the American Latino, having been appointed by President Barack Obama, and supports causes ranging from education to equal opportunity.

Dustin Clare as Gannicus and Ellen Hollman as Saxa in “Spartacus: War of the Damned.” Provided by Starz

SEX «FROM 1E The unlimited varieties of the act were explored by cable, where customers pay for the privilege of seeing sadistic sexual acts (“Game of Thrones”), humiliating sexual encounters (“Girls”), bodice-ripping sex (“Spartacus”), paid and disabled sex (“Legit”), beach -chair sex (“Magic City”), fee-based sex play (“The Client List”) and more. Meanwhile broadcast TV showcased more and younger sex, especially on shows about high schoolers played by older actors. “Parenthood,” “Bunheads” and “Glee” toyed with adolescent sexual exploits. The tragi-sex-com “Girls” on HBO brings the current state of affairs into cringe-worthy focus. This season’s penultimate episode “On All Fours,” as graphic as its title, explicitly referenced porn imagery in the interaction of Adam and Natalia. First they had fun sex, then they had quasi-rape sex. The dynamics of the positions, the meaning of the physical relationships, the emotions that result from the encounter are meant to be pondered on this increasingly dark post-post-femi-

nist comedy. Now that graphic style is edging into mainstream commercial TV. Desperate to win audiences back from cable, the broadcast networks do what they can to mimic, imply and suggest. Even a political drama about the White House sneaks off for a quickie in the computer tech closet (“Scandal”), as parents in the audience scramble to clear the kids from the room. The raunchiest network comedies talk endlessly about “doing it” but don’t show much. Jess (Zooey Deschanel) of “New Girl” on Fox is not nearly as sexually exhibitionistic or self-sabotaging as Hannah (Lena Dunham) of “Girls” on HBO. “Two and a Half Men” amounts to a decade’s worth of sexual innuendo but actual sex is only implied. Here’s how we know we’ve arrived at a newly sexualized time in mainstream America, an awkward age of transition on matters of sex: The waitress Max (Kat Dennings) on the CBS half-hour “Two Broke Girls” recently complained that the word “vagina” has lost its power to shock. “Vagina’s everywhere,” she said. Cue the leering short-order cook Oleg: “Where!?!” Clearly, the writers share Max’s lament about the difficulty of getting a laugh now that the word is commonplace, but they

hope for some residual shock value. Ironically, TV’s reality shows are the least graphic when it comes to sexual interactions. Series like “Big Brother” and “Jersey Shore” offer bad, obnoxious and unethical behavior on display, but the sex is usually blurred, in the dark or beneath the sheets. The TV genre that purports to be most authentic and uncensored turns out to be the least revealing in sexual situations. Creative rethinking

The easy inclusion of graphic sex scenes in TV dramas in particular has challenged writers to play with the nature of intimacy in novel ways. This creative rethinking turns out to be good for dramatic character development. The power dynamic involved in sex is now a focus beyond the physical event. * The husband and wife power-mongers in “House of Cards” on NetFlix like to share a cigarette in a window late at night, their version of intimacy. We never see them in a sexual encounter with each other; that’s reserved for others, their inferiors in terms of rank and power. The result is subtle: The lack of sex between the leading characters (played by Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright) makes the viewer think harder about their intrigu-

ing intimate moments, as they borrow a page from “Macbeth.” * In the superior FX drama “The Americans,” the very idea of sex is fraught since the couple, played by Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys, are actually an arranged covert spy team who have yet to develop a real romantic relationship. Can their work blur into a romance? Will things heat up in the bedroom while they pursue the Cold War? Meanwhile, views of Russell’s character enduring demeaning, sadistic sex as a trade for information are intensely graphic. (As a lethal spy, she gets her comeuppance.) * It’s not spoiling anything to note that the only really romantic, loving expression of sex in recent TV memory occurred on ABC’s “Red Widow,” just before the central character was widowed. Now that true love seems to be out of the way, the doors are open to more dramatic, aggressive or conflicted expressions of sex. * FX’s “Bates Motel” finds its starting point as a contemporary prequel to “Psycho” with a “Twin Peaks” vibe. The sexual tension here is novel for television: mother and son, played by Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore, are intertwined in unhealthy, incestuous ways. The sexual hints are subtle at first as the audience witnesses the psychological implosion of teenager Norman Bates. We can only hope the sexual tension in that case remains more subtle than gymnastic. Joanne Ostrow: 303-954-1830, jostrow@denverpost.com or twitter.com/ostrowdp

Jazz by Bret Saunders

From ﬂutes to funk, four new great releases to catch up with

here’s so much accomplished new recorded music stacking up that I thought this relative breather between concerts would be a good time to get some of it out of my system and perhaps into yours. Mostly Other People Do The Killing has, over the de-

cade since their formation, gelled into one of the premier jazz ensembles. Their CD cover art has perhaps received as much attention as the music itself, with the quartet’s members re-creating classic LP shots from the likes of Roy Haynes and Ornette Coleman. On the new “Slippery Rock” (Hot Cup) they present themselves as members of a slick ’80s-era pop jazz ensemble a la Spyro Gyra (who will be in Parker this week, see below.) The irreverent cover art aside, this is a band committed to dizzying, avant-leaning intensity, usually provided with a hurried pulse. If MOPDTK remind me of anyone at this point, it’s the infrequently documented ensembles of saxophonist and composer Henry Threadgill, which makes it as adventurous (and enthralling) as “jazz” gets. Meanwhile, trumpeter Peter Evans and woodwind expert Jon Irabagon are currently vying for the mightiest front line going. Charles Lloyd continues his seemingly endless winning streak with “Hagar’s Song” (ECM) a more reflective set of duets with pianist Jason Moran. Lloyd utilizes his arsenal of flutes and saxes to engage in soothing dialogue with pianist Moran, who has proven himself to be an empathic presence. It’s a lovely hour, with the elder statesman reflecting on history (of jazz and himself.) Particularly effective are the meditative “Hagar Suite,” the blues-inflected cover of Duke Ellington’s “Mood Indigo,” and the CD’s delicate coda, a cover of (former Lloyd associates) The Beach Boys’ “God Only Knows.” The notion of “jazz flute” has probably been relegated to Ron “Anchorman” Burgundy in recent years, and that’s too bad, because, like Lloyd, there are some fine practitioners on the instrument, including Nicole Mitchell. Her quartet Ice Crystal has a spirited new CD, “Aquarius,” (Delmark) that extends back into Eric Dolphy and Rahsaan Roland Kirk territory. The idea behind this project is to contrast her flute with vibraphonist Jason Adasiewicz, hence the aural “ice crystals.” The sonic combination is intriguing, and even if you’re not disposed to love the flute as a lead instrument, there are plenty of exciting ideas being explored here. Of the handful of Mitchell’s releases I’ve heard, this one is the most appealing. Steve Coleman received some attention in the ’90s,

Flutist Nicole Mitchell contrasts her playing with vibraphonist Jason Adasiewicz in their quartet Ice Crystal. Michael Jackson being hyped along the lines of the next big thing that never materialized. But the alto saxophonist and bandleader never went away. He’s been providing a small audience with creative, funky miniature head trips on the independent Pi label for the past few years, and the just-released “Functional Arrhythmias” is the

ideal place to make his acquaintance. The track titles are rooted in the activities of the human body, but don’t let “Hormone Trig” or “Lymph Swag (Dance Of The Leukocytes)” lead you to believe this is “doctor-jazz” or that you need a medical degree to take it all in. (Remember Jack Kevorkian’s ill-

fated 1997 jazz flute album, by the way?) Coleman’s saxophone engages the body and mind simultaneously, and

Elliott Abrams points fingers in new memoir By Glenn Kessler The Washington Post

ometimes the most revealing administration memoirs are not written by the key principals. Elliott Abrams, a deputy national security adviser under President George W. Bush, merits just seven references in Condoleezza Rice’s memoir, one reference in Bush’s book and none in Vice President Richard Cheney’s account of administration policymaking. Yet Abrams had a frontrow seat — and played a critical role — in nearly all eight years of the Bush administration’s efforts to forge peace between the Israelis and Palestinians. Less burdened by the need to burnish his own image and still seething at what he believes was a misguided lunge at peacemaking glory in the final months of Bush’s presidency, Abrams exposes tensions, mishaps and personality conflicts that had previously been glossed over in earlier accounts. In particular, he writes of sharp divisions between Rice and Israeli

NONFICTION: CONFLICT

Tested by Zion by Elliott Abrams (Cambridge University Press) officials that mirror the current conflicts between Israel and the Obama administration. Some of the details may be too much for some readers, but “Tested by Zion” will be catnip for anyone interested in diplomatic history or the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Abrams’ account of the difficult choices faced by the administration — and the policy decisions it made — will fuel endless debate for generations of students studying international affairs. Abrams is a controversial figure

in Washington. Initially an aide to Democrats such as Sens. Henry “Scoop” Jackson and Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Abrams is one of the original “neoconservatives” who emerged during the Reagan administration. In 1991, as part of the Iran-Contra affair, he pleaded guilty to two counts of withholding information from Congress. President George H.W. Bush later pardoned him. For some readers, this background might call into question the accuracy of his memoir. Abrams does not disguise his fiercely pro-Israel perspective, but he carefully documents his account, making clear when he personally witnessed events and when he is relying on secondhand information or making assumptions about a person’s motivations. He also is open and introspective about administration errors, such as the failure to anticipate the victory of the Hamas militant group in 2006 Palestinian legislative elections. That in turn led to the Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip — which Israel had vacated — and led to a ZION » 14E

Not often does a story feel at once fresh and familiar. But “Ordinary Grace,” a new novel from William Kent Krueger, is both, and it is affecting. Frank Drum, 13, is as restless as any other teenage boy in New Bremen, Minn., in 1961 would be. When his preacher father is awakened in the middle of the night to counsel the town brawler who’s just been tossed into jail (again), Frank insists on tagging along. When he’s told not to wander along the railroad tracks after a neighbor boy is killed by a train, he heads straight for the tracks. Supporting characters are archetypes. Frank’s younger brother Jake has a debilitating stutter, but he has a bit of seer in him. His big sister Ariel is a Juilliard-bound pianist with a tragic air. His father is a semi-shellshocked soldier-cum-preacher saddled with baggage. His mother expected a different life and drinks from spite. There’s a vagrant down by the river, a masochistic sheriff’s deputy, a sexy neighbor hanging lingerie on the clothesline, a mysterious musical genius, a wisecracking barber, churchfolk. Cottonwood trees tower over shady glens, bullfrogs croak in the distance, kids gather illicitly on Independence Day to shoot off fireworks while mothers and fathers fret at home. This is small-town Midwest mid-century America, idyllic and serene. “We played softball in the pasture behind our house until it was too dark to see...” Andy Griffith would recognize this place. But darkness comes to quiet New Bremen during the hot summer of 1961. A series of violent and tragic deaths shakes the community and also Frank’s soul. Everything he thinks he knows, including his tethers to his family, come up for question. After Frank discovers a body, he brings his father to the scene: From the moment he looked down beside me where I stood on the trestle and saw what I saw, my father became a man I didn’t recognize. He had turned to me and said, “Come along, Frank,” as if what we’d seen was nothing more than an unpleasantness or a discourtesy best ignored. He didn’t speak to me the entire way home and once there guided me up to my room and from the telephone in the hallway called the sheriff. When he came to me afterward where I sat on my bed he said, “Not a word to your mother, Frank. Not a word until we’re sure.” Krueger, an accomplished and successful mystery writer (he invented Cork O’Conner of “Trickster’s Point” and “Northwest Angle”), uses the second half of “Ordinary Grace” to ferry his readers from suspect to suspect in the grisly murder case, though the culprit becomes obvious perhaps earlier than he intended. Conveniences like eavesdropping happen with unlikely frequency. But Frank’s voice is charming. His journey is compelling. He and New Bremen grow up together in the pages of “Ordinary Grace,” and Krueger’s portrait of the summer of 1961 is colorful and rich.

Al Capp’s life writ large Creator of comic strip “Li’l Abner” had his own multiframed story – from Viet war to sexual dramas By Dennis Drabelle The Washington Post

In the 1960s, two of the greatest American comic strips lost their way. Chester Gould’s “Dick Tracy” bogged down in, of all places, the moon, which supported a race of pale humanoids with little antennae on their foreheads. Junior Tracy even married one of the creatures, whose preposterousness became clear at the end of the decade, when American astronauts learned firsthand that the moon is a lifeless wasteland. The malady that plagued Al Capp’s “Li’l Abner” was Earthbound. A cartoonist who had poured his joie de vivre and satirical wit into a new hybrid — a strip serving equal doses of laughter and adventure — suddenly lost his touch. Enraged by VietnamWar protesters, Capp turned heavyhanded and strident, and “Li’l Abner” degenerated into a vehicle for settling scores. At the same time, the cartoonist went through a personal crisis that transformed him into a sexual predator. Denis Kitchen has a long history with “Li’l Abner”: His Kitchen Sink

Press is best known for handsomely republishing the strip in multiple volumes. With his co-biographer, Michael Schumacher, Kitchen has ably sketched the life of its creator, a double-whammy entertainer — artist and writer — whose 43-years-long masterpiece holds a secure place among the few American comic strips that deserve to be called “art.” Launched in 1934, the strip was set in Dogpatch, a hillbilly hamlet somewhere in the mountainous South, where hunky young Abner Yokum did his best to elude the voluptuous, marriage-minded Daisy Mae Scragg, who managed to chase him and keep her dignity intact. Dozens of vivid supporting characters ducked into and out of this pursuit-avoidance routine — pipe-smoking Mammy Yokum; pig-loving Moonbeam McSwine; Marryin’ Sam, famous for his cut-rate ceremonies; the Civil War antihero Jubilation T. Cornpone; hard-luck Joe Btfsplk, who lived under a perpetual dark cloud; and many others. Equally memorable were the phrases and institutions Capp contributed to the American playbook: “double-whammy,” “going bananas,” “oh, happy day,”

BIOGRAPHY: CARTOONIST

Al Capp: A Life to the Contrary by Michael Schumacher and Denis Kitchen (Bloomsbury) “as any fool kin plainly see,” Sadie Hawkins Day, the frigid communist country of Lower Slobbovia. Born Alfred Caplin, the son of Jewish-Lithuanian immigrants, in 1909, Capp came to resemble the Jewish moguls of Hollywood in wanting to fit in as an American so badly that he ended up helping to form the country’s sense of self. Capp also brought another pang to the drawing table. At

“Middle C” an o≠-key one-note By John Broening Special to The Denver Post

The protagonist of William H. Gass’ new novel, “Middle C,” is an unpleasant elderly academic, uncomfortable in his own skin, who is obsessed with a secret project. Joseph Skizzen is a professor of music at an undistinguished college. The son of an émigré who pretended to be Jewish when he came to America, he is haunted by a persistent sense of fraudulence, a feeling magnified by his own tendency to self-mythologize. In the attic of the Gothic house he shares with his ancient mother, Skizzen keeps an Inhumanity Museum, a vast display of books, newspaper clippings, photos and paintings depicting pogroms, genocides, famines, bombings, beheadings, witch burnings, crucifixions, tortures and assorted other manmade atrocities. In many ways, Middle C is a standard academic novel, with its stock fixtures: the smooth, not quite scholarly university president; the petty, backbiting colleagues, the bored, hormone-driven, clueless students, the magnum opus that is never quite completed. The only tenderness is reserved for plants and flowers and books and music. In the

FICTION: SOLIPSISM

Middle C by William Gass (Knopf) novel’s warmest passage, the young Skizzen contemplates a wall of unread books in a small town-library: It almost painfully pleased his eye to run along the row of titles, teasing his imagination with what really was a gesture, because it and longing were twins, and longing could not help itself, it had to experience the interiors of these volumes, again not as printed words upon a page but as words read, as hear, as realized, as conceived; and this building was so cozy, so trim, and tidy, it was easy for Joey to feel the books were his…. He would indulge his fingers, letting them slide along the ends of books, as his eyes had, touching the titles, as if imbibing paper, cloth, and leather, feeling width, and with width, length, and with that, weight, and with weight, importance, and ambition — a

series of associations that did not always lead him astray. The solipsistic novel lends itself to the essay form, and we are treated to multiple revisions of Skizzen’s ponderous pensées, his class lectures on modern music and art with their ghastly puns. (“Novels that undermined the story and poems that had no rhymes appeared. Soon there would be no meter. Though you would still have to pay for parking.”) The text suggests that the documentary evidence collected in the Inhumanity Museum is a strong argument for the eradication of the human race, something his protagonist and probably the author himself believe would not be a bad thing. What seems not to have occurred to either man is that atrocities are depicted not because they give evidence of inhumanity but because they correspond to the protagonist’s nasty inner state. This is the problem with the solipsistic novel: Other people aren’t real, and all pain seems to lead back to the unearned suffering of the central consciousness. “Middle C” is a bore: overlong and formless, and despite its huge number of cultural references, parochial. It becomes a critic’s duty to warn the reader away. You’re welcome.

the age of 9, he had been run over by a trolley in Boston, and “his left leg was amputated well above the knee.” It doesn’t take a shrink to connect the idealized specimens in “Li’l Abner” — not just Daisy Mae, Moonbeam McSwine, Stupefyin’ Jones and Appasionata Von Climax, but also Abner and Tiny Yokum, who are often glimpsed shirtless or taking a bath — as projections of the physical integrity denied their creator. Amid all the satire and pulchritude and inventiveness, Capp was second to none in stringing the reader along. In 1943, for example, the public was kept tantalized for weeks by a character named “One-Fault Jones.” As Dogpatchers followed him around, crossing out faults that his actions proved not to be the “one,” he courted Daisy Mae, who finally married him, dashing any hope that she might snag Lil Abner. Then, in two glorious days’ worth of panels, Capp resolved both plot points. Jones’ one fault was that he was a multiple marrier, a bigamist, which meant that his union with Daisy Mae was null and void (and unconsummated). Schumacher and Kitchen take pains to explain why Capp finally broke

down and had Abner and Daisy Mae tie the knot in 1952. At the time, psychologists and Congress were blaming comics for corrupting American youth, and Capp felt he had to throw them a bone. Later, he admitted that his capitulation had not only been cowardly but an artistic mistake. “Al Capp: A Life to the Contrary” has every virtue but a sense of humor, but the ample excerpts from the strip itself make up for that. The co-authors are to be commended for not flinching from the grimness of Capp’s last years — the decline of the strip, which he ended in 1977; his assaults of young women he met while on speaking tours; his gasping death from emphysema in 1979. But he had a noble side that shouldn’t be forgotten. One of his causes was to visit hospitalized soldiers who were fellow amputees. To lift their spirits, Capp would put aside the prosthetic leg he normally wore and which gave him an awkward gait, and strap on one that allowed him to walk smoothly, even though it hurt like hell. That repeated sacrifice at least partially compensates for the bad behavior of Many-Faults Capp.

Vaudeville tapped Fred Astaire’s style By Claire Martin The Denver Post

How did Fred Astaire become such an extraordinary dancer? Roxane Orgill looks at the vaudeville days that launched his career as one of the world’s most remarkable footwork artists in her new childrne’s book, “Footwork.” Fred Astaire’s dancing career was almost an afterthought. His parents were sure that Adele, his elder by three years, was the more promising performer, but New York City dance instructor Claude Alvienne recognized young Fred’s potential. The two starred in what was

billed as The Wedding Cake Act, tap-dancing on wood cake props with flashing lights and bells the Astaires played with their hands and feet. Fred’s skill caught the eye of “the most famous tap dancer in the world,” Bill “Bojangles” Robinson. Fred Astaire’s famously

fluid style came both from innate talent and from the relentless discipline that motivated young Fred to watch other vaudeville acts and practice “when anything went wrong or was just the least bit imperfect.” Fred Astaire’s marvelous, deceptively loose-limbed skills became famous in the movies he made, but his vaudeville days were what shaped his personal rigor, drive and affable persona.

The Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh is rapidly modernizing. A gargantuan hotel and casino called NagaWorld has recently been completed, and dime-adozen skyscrapers are popping up all over the city. But some of the city’s most interesting places are connected to its past. A number of museums honor victims of the Khmer Rouge genocide, while French Colonial architecture harkens back to an era when the city was known as the Pearl of Asia. Decades later, the nickname still seems apt, suggesting pure beauty inside a tough shell. Phnom Penh’s developing tourism sector also means that nearly every attraction has an entry fee, even if just a dollar or two. But in keeping with history, some sites cost nothing at all. fenway park: Fans stand in front of the Green Monster in Boston, home to the Boston Red Sox. Associated Press file photos

Take me out to the ballgame, times 30: Visit each one as a long-term vacation goal By Michael Liedtke The Associated Press

san francisco»

f you’re a baseball fan looking to add a new pastime to your vacation itinerary, consider setting a goal to visit all 30 of the sport’s major league stadiums. I began my crusade about five years ago, joining a growing number of other zealots making the pilgrimage to baseball’s cathedrals.

It has become such a popular pursuit that you can buy baseball-stadium maps to document where you have been and plot where you still need to go. The one decorating my den shows I’m halfway through my odyssey, with 14 more fields of dreams still to be seen. If you need more memorabilia, there’s also a book called “The Major League Baseball BallPark Pass-Port” that provides tips about each stadium, with slots to file ticket stubs and a place to “validate” each visit with a rubber stamp. But all you really need is a love of baseball and a passion

for exploring new places to relish this journey. All the baseball teams are based in major U.S. cities and many of the stadiums are situated in bustling downtown areas with engrossing things to do and savory places to eat when you aren’t attending a game. These attractions should help the cause of baseball fans trying to recruit a spouse or other traveling teammates who may not appreciate the sublime pleasures of the game. My baseball tour already has introduced me to things that wouldn’t have been on my radar if I hadn’t booked a trip to see a BASEBALL » 11E

Electric Kool-Aid Acid bus Further restored for its 50th By Jeff Barnard The Associated Press

grants pass, ore. » The family of writer Ken Kesey is reviving plans to restore his original psychedelic bus in time for the 50th anniversary of its passengers’ LSD-laced trip across America. Stephanie Kesey said recently she has created a foundation to raise money for the restoration as a tribute to her late father-in-law. “It’s the private Ken Kesey I’m saying thank you to, but in a very public way,” she said from her home in Pleasant Hill, a short way from the Willamette Valley farm where Ken Kesey settled after the bus trip. Fresh from the stunning success of his novel “One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” Ken Kesey bought the 1939 International school bus in 1964 from a San Francisco Bay Area family who fitted it with bunks for a motor home. With a jug of LSD-laced juice in the refrigerator, clean-cut Kesey pals known as The Merry Pranksters on board, and Neal Cassady, the driver in Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road,” at the wheel, the bus crossed the country from California to New York to visit the World’s Fair. The journey was made famous by the book, “The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.” Kesey put the old bus, called “Further,” into retirement in a swampy patch of woods on his farm, and years later bought a newer one, which in typical Prankster style he tried to pass off as the original. “The bus is essentially the best icon

They hope to do so in time for it to take part in next year’s 50th anniversary of its orginal journey. of the ’60s,” said his son, Zane Kesey. Ken Kesey, who was born in La Junta in 1935, died in 2001. Four years later, a Hollywood restaurateur offered to pay to restore the bus, and the family hauled it out of the swamp. But the deal fell through. Stephanie Kesey said the project is back on track, and her family is under the gun to get it finished by summer 2014, the 50th anniversary of the trip across America. They are putting updates on Zane’s Facebook page and building a website for the project. “We are in the middle of finding out how much money this is going to cost,” Stephanie Kesey said. “We get one shot at doing this. We definitely want to do it right.”

Samuel Clemens’ boyhood home, one of eight properties in the Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum complex in Hannibal, Mo., is a nice side trip from a ballpark tour.

The goal is to do a museum-quality restoration, preserving as much of the rusty old original as possible, and to secure a trailer for it to ride around in. They hope to produce a documentary on the work. Zane said the family will hold a vote to decide which of the constantly evolving psychedelic paint jobs to put on the bus. They have plenty of photos and film footage to consider, and plenty of members of The Merry Pranksters to do the work. “Part of me was willing to let it rust away out in the woods,” Zane said. “It was beautiful and happy out there. But eventually it wouldn’t be beautiful and happy.”

stadium. When I went to St. Louis to visit Busch Stadium in 2010, I rented a car one day and made the two-hour drive to Samuel Clemens’ childhood home in Hannibal, Mo., the Mississippi River village that inspired Mark Twain’s best-known books about the childhood adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. The Hannibal visit had a ripple effect when I went to Boston to see Fenway Park, prompting me to rent another car to drive to Hartford, Conn., to visit the custom-built home where he spent the happiest and most productive years of his adult life. Back in Boston, I also made the short trip across the Charles River to Cambridge to check out Harvard University, and wound up stumbling upon the home of poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, where George Washington also lived for a short time. When I went to Baltimore to see a game at Camden Yards, I took a water taxi out to Fort McHenry in the Chesapeake Bay to tour the site where Francis Scott Key watched American troops in 1814 successfully thwart an all-night fusillade by English ships. The heroics at Fort McHenry inspired Key to write the ode that became the country’s national anthem. Many of the stadiums are landmarks in their own right. My favorite stops so far have been baseball’s oldest stadiums, Fenway Park (opened in 1912), and Wrigley Field (originally known as Weeghman Park when it opened in 1914) in Chicago. Both are located in wonderful neighborhoods that turn into street festivals during the three or four hours leading up to the game. The stadiums of more recent vintage all have their merits, too, largely because so many were built to evoke a sense of nostalgia. This retro movement started in 1992 when Baltimore’s Camden Yards opened and has carried over to just about every one of the 22 baseball stadiums that have opened since then (while I haven’t been to them yet, I understand Florida’s two big-league ballparks are notable exceptions to this trend). Most of the newer stadiums boast signature features designed to set them apart. Even one of the Florida stadiums, Marlins Park, added distinctive flair by building a 450-gallon saltwater aquarium behind home plate.

features small trees and rocks with running water — a tip of the cap to the gorgeous mountains that can be seen on the horizon from the stadium seats. Most of the teams also set aside areas inside and outside the stadiums to pay homage to the greatest players in franchise history. I’ve already seen statues of Stan (“The Man”) Musial in St. Louis, Ted (“The Splendid Splinter”) Williams in Boston, Willie (“The Say Hey Kid”) Mays in San Francisco, Walter (“The Train”) Johnson in Washington and George (“Babe”) Ruth in Baltimore. In case you are wondering why the Orioles honor the Bambino even though he never played for the team, it’s because Camden Yards is built in an old neighborhood that once included a bar owned by Ruth’s father (the home where the Babe was born is still standing, just a short stroll from Camden Yards). When drawing up your travel plans, strive to arrange your stadium visits so they coincide with your favorite team’s trips to the same destinations. My favorite stadium sojourns so far have included my favorite team, the Oakland Athletics. Those trips gave me a chance to wear my green-and-gold Athletics’ gear in hostile territory, which has led to lively repartee with the fans of the local team. What’s more, your favorite team will appreciate seeing some friendly faces, so much so that they may be even more accommodating than usual with requests for autographs and baseballs. In a further show of support, try to get tickets behind your team’s dugout on the road. Just keep in mind the location of visitor’s dugouts vary from stadium to stadium, so double-check before buying tickets (the visitor’s dugout is on the third-base side of the field at 18 stadiums and on the first-base side at the other 12). After each visit to a baseball stadium, I can hardly wait to go to another one. Despite my ardor, completing the journey has been a multiyear process because, like most baseball fans, I don’t have the time or money to see all the stadiums in a single season. Last year, I made it to four stadiums for the first time, a new single-season record for me. Other vacation commitments this year are likely to restrict me to a single stadium: Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., when the Athletics play there in July. When I finally cross the final big-stadium off my list in a few years, I am going to have to find a new quest. Well, I hear there are lots of quaint minor-league baseball stadiums located in rustic towns all across America...

But if you can’t stand the thought of leaving empty-handed, pick up flip-flops, jewelry, delicacies like juicy mangosteen fruit or fried insects, or khama scarves in bright, gingham-like patterns. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, the nearby Night Market (Phsar Reatrey) becomes the go-to spot for displaying handicrafts produced by local artisans.

TEMPLE TIME

With a pricetag of a dollar, admission to the centuries-old hilltop temple of Wat Phnom isn’t quite free. Neither are the elephant rides that are offered on site. But a free and carefree stroll along the bucolic grounds is a reward in and of itself. Sculpted into the hillside leading to

Make treks across the narrow footpath if you dare, though be prepared to dodge oncoming traffic, or simply pause to admire a view that stretches for miles.

In Paris, Artists Under the Influence A look at the e≠ects of drugs on art, some fanciful, some tragic By Jorg von Uthmann Bloomberg News

paris » “The smell of opium,” said Pablo Picasso to fellow smoker Jean Cocteau, “is the most intelligent of all odors.” While Picasso never got hooked on the drug, Cocteau had to be treated in a hospital where he wrote a book on his addiction. “Sous Influences” (Under the Influence), an exhibition at the Maison Rouge in Paris, examines the role of drugs in the arts. Antoine Perpere, the show’s curator, is an artist himself who has worked at a Paris detoxification center. It’s an enormous subject, well beyond the means of a small, private institution. You’ll look in vain for Baroque boozing scenes or masterpieces such as Edgar Degas’ “Absinthe Drinkers.” Although alcohol and tobacco are briefly mentioned, the emphasis is on illegal drugs, mostly in connection with contemporary art. Some of the 90 artists who created the 250 works on view are well known. Many others are not. One of the earliest pieces is an 1853 drawing by French neurologist Jean Martin Charcot, Sigmund Freud’s teacher, who experimented with hashish — a nightmarish document not unlike Hieronymus Bosch’s apocalyptic visions. Belgian writer Henri Michaux (1899-1984) used mescaline to widen the doors of perception. His drawings are calmer: Some look like mysterious tissues viewed through a microscope. The counterculture of the 1960s turned the use of psychedelic drugs based on LSD, which had been discovered in 1943, into a popular pastime. The show includes colorful posters from that period with bizarre distortions and sinuous lines straight from the arsenal of Art Nouveau. Although the catalogue does its best to explain the difference between calming psycholeptics (opium, morphine, heroin), stimulating psychoanaleptics (cocaine, crack, amphetamines) and hallucinogens (defined as cannabis and LSD), you could be forgiven for getting lost in the show. Clarity is not the show’s forte, and the wall texts are of no great help. You have to follow your own instinct to discover the highlights. One of the more remarkable contributions comes from U.S. performance artist Bryan Lewis Saunders. He has produced a series of self-portraits under the influence of various substances including marijuana, valium, cough syrup and “bath salts.” Francis Alys, a Belgian who lives in Mexico City, specializes in “paseos,” or strolls, in the tradition of the French “flaneurs.” In one of his walks, titled “Narcotourism,” he took a different drug in the course of seven days and recorded his trips with notes and photographs. Carsten Holler, a German agricultural scientist and entomologist, is fascinated by poisonous mushrooms. He has produced replicas of the amanita muscaria, or fly agaric, that was used by Siberian shamans as an intoxicant. Some of Holler’s mush-

is so amusing. Shortly after Jean-Michel Basquiat presented his drug-fueled paintings in Paris, he died of an overdose. “Sous Influences” runs through May 19. lamaisonrouge.org

We’ve paid our ofﬁciants fee. Are we supposed to tip him? If so, how much should we give and when should we give it to him?

Payment and gratuity for officiants can vary greatly from congregation to congregation, even within the same city or town. To find out what the standard amount and procedure are, call the office at the house of worship and ask. Someone there will be able to clue you in to the customary practice. It’s also important to invite the officiant (and his spouse, if married) to the rehearsal dinner and to seat him and his spouse in a spot of honor at the reception.

ZION «FROM 8E split among the Palestinians that hobbles peace efforts to this day. Though Abrams was part of the National Security Council staff from the start of Bush’s presidency, he did not fully take charge of the Israeli-Palestinian portfolio until after Bush’s seminal June 2002 speech on the conflict. In that speech, the president declared that “a Palestinian state will never be created by terror,” but by reform, and he called on Palestinians to reject Yasser Arafat as their leader. Bush’s speech blindsided the State Department and sent shock waves across Europe and the Middle East, where Arafat was still regarded as a peacemaker despite encouraging the deadly wave of militia attacks known as the second intifada. Indeed, Abrams casts Rice’s decision to put him in charge of Middle East policy after Bush’s speech as a signal that “Rice was staking out a position: closer to Cheney and Bush and farther from [Secretary of State Colin L.] Powell and State,” which had preferred to keep dealing with Arafat. Abrams believed that progress was made not by demanding concessions from Israel but by hugging the Jewish state as closely as possible — and that every day Arafat remained in power was a defeat for the president’s policy. He tasked himself to remain true to the vision of Bush’s speech. Abrams’ book is a reminder of how dysfunctional the policymaking process was during the Bush administration, when disputes were never resolved but simply deferred for another battle. In 2004, when the administration was considering whether to back Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s plan to exit Gaza, Abrams writes of the “nonsense” repeatedly spouted by the State Department spokesman on the administration’s position. He then approvingly quotes from a Washington Post article I wrote on the administration’s policy. That article, based on NSC and Israeli briefings that I had requested, contained on-the-record statements from a White House official. The day it appeared, a senior State Department official called me to say top officials there were “freaking out” over it. In other words, rather than hold an interagency meeting

Elliott Abrams spills on life under President George W. Bush. Jim Watson, AFP/ Getty Images

to settle policy, senior officials communicated with each other through the newspaper. Abrams’ most complex relationship is with Rice. On the one hand, he admired her work ethic, describing himself as “dazzled by her efficiency, lightning intelligence and charm.” But the book really comes alive when he finds himself increasingly disillusioned by her approach to the conflict after she became an extraordinarily powerful secretary of state. Abrams chose to remain at the White House in the second term, mistakenly believing that the power would reside there, as it had in Bush’s first four years. He had not counted on Bush’s willingness to give Rice free rein — or on what he describes as a sharp break between Rice and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert after the 2006 IsraelHezbollah war. Relations became so tense between Olmert and Rice that, according to Abrams, when Olmert told Bush he admired her efforts to convene a peace conference in Annapolis in 2007, Bush replied, “No, you don’t, she pisses you off.” As Abrams put it, “Jaws seemed to hang open” among the Israeli and U.S. officials. Abrams remained deeply skeptical of Rice’s efforts to forge a peace deal, believing it marked a return to the failed policies of the Clinton administration: “The peace process was like Tinkerbelle, in that if we all just believed in it firmly enough it really would survive.” He wrote memo after memo for National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley, decrying her approach, but Hadley repeatedly deferred to Rice. One suspects that, after a while, Abrams increasingly wrote his memos more for future diplomatic historians to peruse when they are declassified than to influence policy. Rice’s efforts came to naught, as Abrams had predicted. The process has become even more stillborn under the Obama administration, when an early effort to pressure Israel to halt settlement expansion backfired spectacularly. Abrams has been a sharp critic of Obama’s policies, but ironically one of his key recommendations is that the president “should organize the White House staff to keep the key decisions in his own hands.” By all accounts, Obama is the most controlling foreign-policy president in recent history, keeping the State Department under his thumb in ways that Abrams could only have dreamed of.

Sudoku

Play game with grace – it’s supposed to be fun

DIFFICULTY: EVIL The rules are simple: Enter digits from 1 to 9 into the blank spaces. Every row must have one of each digit, as must every column, and every 3-by-3 square. Answer below

Horoscope by Jacqueline Bigar Today’s birthday (Sunday, March 24, 2013) This year you will be inspired to try something new. You also will have a yearning to go off on some far-out tangent. Use good sense, and you will be OK. If you are single, you might desire a close, personal tie, and you’ll see that potential in several people. Take your time getting to know each person. If you are attached, you often have misunderstandings with your sweetie. Be smart, and don’t make them into big deals. Virgo might be great to work with, but he or she can be very fussy.

Aries (March 21-April 19) 6666 Confusion surrounds you. Make time to look at the humorous moments that result from this haze. Do clarify and confirm meeting times and spots. A get-together will attract many people. Tonight: Don’t worry about tomorrow. Taurus (April 20-May 20) 6666 You and a dear friend normally see eye to eye. Right now, it might be difficult to get on the same page with this person. Let go. A spontaneous get-together could turn into a memorable and fun time. Tonight: Live in the here and now.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) 6666 Cancel plans if you so desire. You need some downtime at home with family — or, even better, enjoy some alone time. Misunderstandings seem to come from out of nowhere, so don’t hang on to others’ words; otherwise, you could misconstrue the situation. Tonight: Early to bed.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) 6666 Listen to a friend’s news. Communication could be difficult right now, especially as one person might not want to come clean. The right word or expression could have many different meanings. Understand that you may have to redo a conversation. Tonight: Talk up a storm. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) 666 Adding to the quality of your life might seem like you need to make a major purchase. Avoid buying anything today. Even if you’re only doing a price comparison, the figures could be off — and by no fault of your own. Tonight: Visit with a loved one over dinner.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) 6666 Adjust your plans if need be. A partner could be confusing. Feel free to go your own way in order to give

this person some room. Sometimes a little space encourages both parties to pull in closer together later. Indulge in a favorite pastime. Tonight: Say “yes” to living.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) 66 Know when to withdraw from a conversation, as every word you utter seems to get you in trouble. If you want the other party to think before speaking, just take your leave. Deal with what is bothering you. Reconciliation will be possible at a later date. Tonight: Your treat.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) 6666 Get together with friends. If you are single, someone quite enticing could walk into your life. If you are attached, the two of you will discover the sparks of yonder days. Make the most of the moment. Tonight: Add some naughtiness to the mix.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) 6666 Visit with an older family member who is fussy. Your interaction with this person might prevent some future prissiness.. Tonight: To the wee hours. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) 6666 You might want to detach from a bad situation. In a while, you might want to take another look at the issue. You will be able to revise the problem and ease some of the tension surrounding it. Tonight: Your imagination assumes the lead, and your body follows.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) 6666 Spend time with a special person. One-on-one relating adds to the magic of the day. You might not want to be so concerned about details and plans for meeting up with others. You don’t need everyone else to make you happy. Tonight: Opt for a “togetherness” theme. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) 6666 You might not intend to cause confusion, yet it seems inevitable. Honor what is happening with a friend. Go along with this person’s desires, and he or she will be very appreciative. Adjust to a change of pace — it is only temporary. Tonight: Go with someone’s suggestion. The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult. Readers can write Jacqueline Bigar at jacquelinebigar.com.

Ask Amy by Amy Dickinson Dear Amy: My girlfriend and I have been together for a few years. We’ve had our share of ups and downs. We live a few blocks from each other. Recently, we discussed our tight money situation. A few days after that conversation, she asked me for a $1,000 loan, which she would pay back over the next couple of months. She needed the money to pay off a settlement with an attorney she had used during her divorce. Not having the $1,000 readily available, I told her I would have to withdraw the funds from my son’s college savings account. I replied to her loan request by agreeing on the condition that she sign a promissory note for the loan. She says this is the last straw, and proof that I don’t really love (or trust) her. We haven’t spoken since. Was I out of line? — K Dear K: Not only were you not out of line, but my thinking is that the person asking for a $1,000 loan should approach this respectfully by offering up front to sign a note, without being asked. You report that money is tight for both of you. This should give your lady friend some insight about how high the stakes are for you. Because you would have had to withdraw the money from a college fund, she was essentially mortgaging your son’s education to pay her debt. Putting this in writing is not too much to ask. Dear Amy: My husband, best friend and I like to go out together. Here’s the typical scenario: They ask me what I would like to do, what restaurant to go to, or what movie to see. I make a suggestion and they say they don’t want to do that, so do I have any other ideas? Basically, I tee up ideas and they swat them away. I feel like a human batting cage. We invariably end up doing something they come up with. This seems crazy to me. What is going on here? Should I simply stop coming up with ideas? — Why Even Bother Dear Bother: The next time this happens you can say, “Well, every time I tee up an idea, you two swat it away, so my first suggestion is that baseball season is almost here.

SUD OKU A NSWE R

Let’s go to Cooperstown!” If you have something you really want to do, then you’ll have to be firm. Otherwise tell them, “Next time we go out you two can come up with all the ideas, make the arrangements, and I’ll happily go to bat.” Dear Amy: It’s impossible

to drive anywhere without seeing the back window of the car in front of you with those cute stick figures of family members and pets. These families are displaying their family pride and enthusiasm for their hobbies. Has anyone considered that displaying this information is providing any predator with valuable data? Today I saw a rear window display of a father, mother, two small children and a cat. That tells a predator that all he has to do is to follow that woman home. Her husband will be at work. And he will be free to do what he wants with only the

cat there as witness. — Aware Dear Aware: You are making tons of assumptions: that the husband works, the mother is at home, etc., but I do take your admonition to heart. We all give away a lot of information unthinkingly, and it’s wise to be cautious.

the four bottom teams at the end of round two? One of them finished dead last (at least they stuck it out) and the other withdrew a few rounds later. Sometimes it just isn’t your day. Gary Steiner of Boulder has a great attitude toward the game. More than a quarter century ago in a local tournament back in the days of qualifying Swiss, his team didn’t make the cut for the finals and dropped out. Steiner was back after the first session looking to get added to another team and continue playing in the consolation event. He remarked, “I play the game for the revelations it brings.” More Kantar: Kantar’s “Defensive Tips for Bad Card Holders” was reviewed in this column several Sundays ago. Master Point Press of Toronto has also reprinted Kantar’s “A Treasury of Bidding Tips.” The author has revised and added a few more tips to his classic volume from two decades ago, bringing the total to 554 ways to avoid committing a faux pas at the bridge table. Many incorporate Kantar’s characteristic humor, for instance No. 170: “When partner reverses, do not pass. Life is too short; besides the bid is forcing.” Or, No. 530: “It is easy to envision the perfect hand partner might have to make your overbidding look good. Partner never has that hand. Never.” As the late great Barry Crane (the top masterpoint holder in the country at the time of his death) once said, “Don’t put cards in my hand, partner. I won’t have them.” And, No. 537: “Avoid ‘torture’ auctions. Making two or three cuebids on the same hand is a sure way to drive partner over the edge.” Many of the tips are fleshed out with hands and quizzes. Master a third of the tips in this book and voila, your game will improve immensely. Until next week, arrivederci.

“The game should be played with elán,” a bridge friend once remarked. He was right. You want to live life with style. You should play bridge with style. It can be an emotionally intense game, especially at the tournament level, and the occasional frustration is inevitable, but one should still compete with a certain joie de vivre (yes, the idea is to see how many French words or phrases can be worked into this column). You should never let the frantic, frenzied, sometimes even desperate scramble for masterpoints interfere with the intrinsic pleasure of the game. You don’t want to be one of those players who appears forever fretful (even if doing well) at the bridge table. In simple point of fact, you are going to lose more often than you win. It’s true of the best players in the world. Nevertheless, it can be satisfying to at least be in contention most of the time. And you will never, ever stop getting bad results. Bad luck is part of the game. One must learn to express a certain stoicism when the fates are being unkind. Exude an air of nonchalance. It certainly isn’t true of everyone, but there are a few opponents who might like to see you get all upset when you get a bad board. Don’t give them the satisfaction. Besides if you lose your cool, then you might blow the next hand or round as well. Case in point: At Denver’s fall tournament last November, two particular teams were running last and third from last after the first two of seven rounds in the upperdivision Swiss Teams event. They had tallied up a meager seven and 10 victory points out of a possible 40. Did they fall apart? Quite the opposite. The two teams finished third and second in the event, respectively. They pulled together and didn’t let the disastrous start destroy their morale. And the other two out of

Bills aim to free hydropower Federal regulations can be daunting for small projects, but bills in Congress could ease the hassle for startups. By Mark Jaffe The Denver Post

eorge Wenschhoff wanted to put a center-pivot irrigator on his Meeker cattle ranch, but it was going to need a lot of electricity. So he decided to add his own hydropower plant. How did Wenschhoff, 72, hit on the idea? “You don’t have to be too smart to know that if you’ve got water running downhill, you can make power,” Wenschhoff said. Still, turning flowing water into small hydropower projects is not easy. Even a tiny ranch project requires almost the same paperwork for a federal permit as the Hoover Dam. A bill exempting small projects from the voluminous federal filings — co-sponsored by Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Denver — passed the U.S. House of Representatives 422-0 in February. Last year, a similar bill, also co-sponsored by DeGette, passed the House unanimously but died in the Senate. But this time may be different. On March 13, companion legislation to the new hydro bill was introduced in a Senate committee with Democratic and Republican sponsors. “We are always talking about streamlining government,” DeGette said. “This is streamlining government.” The legislation would exempt projects of up to 5 megawatts from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission requirements. Getting rid of the FERC permit could open several hundred sites in Colorado with a combined capacity of 1,400 megawatts — equal to two power plants, according to the commission. Small municipal and private hydro plants generate about 662 megawatts of electricity in Colorado, according to a Colorado State University study.

Phil Overeynder, utilities engineer for special projects with the city of Aspen, last week explains the purpose of the Maroon Creek dam and headgate, which is upstream from the Maroon Creek hydro plant in the city. The structure diverts water for the hydro facility, which helps enable Aspen to have the lowest customer rates among Colorado’s 54 utilities. Chris Council, Special to The Denver Post There are 200 megawatts of small projects that are likely to be developed, said Kurt Johnson, president of the Colorado Small Hydropower Association. Across the nation, 60,000 megawatts of new hydropower capacity could be added by 2025, according to the National Hydropower Association. To be sure, not every stream, irrigation

Fast-evolving technology is making it easier for retailers and other establishments to gather information about you from the moment you step into a store. Facial-recognition technology can now determine your gender and age, and — if one startup is successful — your identity. Technology can also assess how much time you spend in a store and the way you shop by tracking Wi-Fi-enabled phones. The companies behind the technology — which is in the early stages of development and not yet widely adopted — say it’s an opportunity for businesses to better tailor their offerings to specific groups, but privacy advocates and government agencies are beginning to raise questions. The Federal Trade Commission in October released a report on different ways the technology is being used along with some recommended practices. “It’s clear that a significant amount of companies are at least thinking about starting to use it,” said Amanda Koulousias, an FTC

Richardson, The Denver Post

staff attorney. “Facial recognition is something we’re interested in and a space we monitor.” Denver startup Flonomics provides merchants worldwide with facial-recognition and cellphonetracking software. The offerings are in addition to the more sought-after basic customer-counting tools and data analytics. “Certain industries lend themselves to facial recognition,” said Scot Talcott, a co-founder of Flonomics. Flonomics technology uses small

facial measurements to determine whether a customer entering a store is male or female. The company says the images are immediately deleted from its system once measurements are taken. Flonomics says its contracts with clients prevent it from disclosing users of facial-recognition technology but did reveal that three casinos in western Canada use the system to determine which parts of the floor attract women or men so they can set the ambience accordingly.

EMOTIONAL TOLL OF ROBBERIES

Peace of mind also stolen Employees often feel more vulnerable after a heist, but banks and credit unions may be reluctant to hire guards. By Aldo Svaldi The Denver Post

Dread gripped employees at the Public Service Credit Union branch near the old University of Colorado Hospital last September when a man who had robbed the branch five weeks earlier walked in again. The robber demanded money, keeping one hand near his pocket as if it contained a gun, said Hugo Ramirez, branch manager at the time. The man fled with about $2,000. “I remember sitting outside the door devastated and trying to put my employees at ease. They were furious and ready to walk out,” Ramirez said. “I told management this has got to stop.” The credit union offered counseling sessions the next day and put a security guard in the branch initially for a week. “They really didn’t value us as employees,” said Ramirez, who became frustrated after requests for added security were denied. “They told us it was the nature of the business.” Officials for the credit union have declined to comment on the case. Experts said the credit union’s re-

sponse to the crime wasn’t unusual. But advocates for crime victims say robberies take an emotional toll on workers that employers often underestimate. “If people don’t feel safe, they feel very vulnerable, out of control,” said Barbara Kendall, a Boulder-based consultant with the National Organization for Victim Assistance.“They feel angry, hopeless, all sorts of things.” With debates over gun control front and center, and mass shootings rattling the state, employees are likely to get more vocal over their concerns about workplace safety, said Holli Hartman, an attorney specializing in employment law at Baker Hostetler in Denver. “When it comes to employees communicating with management about their fears, I would advise employers to take those communications very seriously,” Hartman said. Banks and credit unions tend to provide two reasons for not hiring security guards — cost and legal liability. The average take in a bank robbery or heist was about $7,500 in 2011, according to FBI statistics. That is a fraction of the $28,939 that Salary.com reports as the median wage of a security guard. Bankers say they’re concerned about the liability they face if employees and customers get hit in the crossfire between an armed guard and robber. ROBBERIES » 6K

Held abroad Foreign investors own 14 percent of the U.S. stock market, according to the latest government data. That’s the highest proportion on record going back 68 years. Much of that belongs to investors in the Cayman Islands and elsewhere in the Caribbean. These tax havens are often home to professional investors. But nearly a third of the foreign ownership is concentrated in just three countries: the United Kingdom, Canada and Japan. The interest is heading in both directions: U.S. investors are also increasingly going abroad for their stock investments.

Older workers, working longer

In recent decades, men have lost ground to women in educational attainment, cutting into the real income of most male workers as prospects for those without a college education have worsened.

The number of people 65 and older remaining in, or returning to, the workforce began dropping when Social Security began providing reliable retirement income. That downward trend reversed after 1985 and has been on the rise since.

Six tax tips on household help Whether you’re hiring a nanny or a gardener, it pays to know the rules to avoid a hefty bill. By Alex Veiga The Associated Press

Taxes. They’re just about the last thing parents might think about when they hire someone to watch over their child. Yet a hefty tax bill is a possibility for anyone who pays a nanny, housekeeper, gardener or other household employee enough in annual wages to trigger a bevy of requirements under tax laws. This year, that financial threshold is $1,800, and it makes the person who hired the household employee responsible for paying that worker’s federal and state payroll taxes, just like any other business owner. They also must reflect in their own annual tax return that they had a household employee. “People think if they pay this person in cash, they don’t have to report it, and the recipient doesn’t have to pick it up as income,” says Cindy Hockenberry, manager of research for the National Association of Tax Professionals. “But there are taxes due on that, and the IRS wants their taxes.” Here are six tips on how to make sure you’re not running afoul of the tax man when hiring household help: 1. SORT OUT: INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR OR HOUSEHOLD EMPLOYEE

Whether you’re on the hook for your nanny or maid’s payroll taxes begins with determining if he or she meets the IRS’s definition of a household employee, rather than an independent contractor. The IRS defines a household employee as someone hired to do work in or around a home, at the direction and control of the person who lives in the home. Meaning, you tell them what to do and how to do it, and perhaps provide the supplies — for instance, if you hire someone to mow your yard and they use your lawn equipment. In the case of a nanny: “Any parent would have an almost impossible case to make that they don’t have the right to control the work that’s being done in their private home with their child,” says Kathleen Webb, president and cofounder of HomeWork Solutions, which provides payroll and tax services to people with household employees. Other examples of household workers: Drivers, home-health aides and maids. So who wouldn’t be a household employee? If workers can control how they do the work, are self-employed or bring their own tools, they’re likely to be considered independent contractors. 2. DETERMINE WHICH TAXES YOU ARE EXPECTED TO PAY Assuming your nanny or other hire meets the household employee standard, it all comes down to whether you pay the person cash wages of $1,800 or more. If that’s the case, you are required to pay 15.3 percent of their wages in Social

Security and Medicare taxes. The employer covers half of those taxes (6.2 percent for Social Security and 1.45 percent for Medicare) and can withhold the other half from the employee’s paycheck. The IRS requires employers withhold additional Medicare tax if their employee makes more than $200,000 in a year. If your household employee is an immediate family member, your spouse, parent, or child under 21, you don’t have to pay any employment taxes. Be aware that you also could be on the hook for federal and state unemployment taxes. If your employee is paid $1,000 or more in any calendar quarter, then you must also pay federal unemployment tax of 6 percent of their annual wages. You may qualify for a credit of up to 5.4 percent against the federal unemployment tax, however, according to the IRS. That would effectively lower your federal unemployment tax to 0.6 percent. To find out whether you have to pay state unemployment taxes, check here: w o r k f o r c e s e c u r i t y. d o l e t a . g o v/ unemploy/agencies.asp. 3. DECIDE EARLY ON HOW YOU’RE GOING TO PAY The IRS gives you the option to withhold your employees’ share of their Medicare and Social Security taxes from their paycheck, or to elect to pay their share yourself. Let’s say you are looking to hire a nanny to come over a couple of nights a week for three hours. At the current federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, that’s $43.50. Extend that over a

year, and it’s $2,262 — triggering the requirement that you pay the nanny’s payroll taxes. Under that scenario, unless you have been withdrawing payroll taxes over the course of the year, you’ll have to come up with $173.04 to settle the nanny’s portion of the tax, and an equal amount for your obligation as the employer. That’s probably a manageable amount to shell out come tax time. But if you end up needing to hire a nanny to come over several times a week, that tax payment could be much more. In that case, withholding payroll taxes along the way makes more sense. Experts suggest that household employers begin withholding payroll taxes as soon as it seems likely that they’ll be increasing their employees’ hours, and wages, dramatically. Even if you choose to cover the payment yourself, another option is to set the money aside in a separate bank account, so that you’re not scrambling come tax time. 4. VERIFY AN EMPLOYEE’S LEGAL STATUS The government doesn’t look favorably upon employers who hire people who can’t legally work in the U.S. So the IRS requires that employers and their hires complete an employment eligibility verification form, dubbed I-9, before the end of the employee’s first day of work. The form requires that non-U.S. citizens provide information backing up their legal employment status and that the employer examine the information against a list of acceptable identification documents. Once it’s filled out,

The oximeters detect carbon monoxide poisoning in victims. • As a partner of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Re/Max LLC and

its agents have contributed $8.2 million to the nonprofit organization over the past year. • Wells Fargo & Co. an-

employers must simply hang on to the form. It can be downloaded here: uscis.gov/files/form/i-9.pdf. 5. KEEP SOLID RECORDS It’s important to keep accurate records of all wages and federal and state taxes you pay or withhold on behalf of your employee. The record-keeping will come in handy when it comes time to file several forms with the IRS. They include Schedule H, on which employers report household employment taxes paid, and Form W-2, which outlines your employee’s annual wages, taxes paid by you and other details. 6. GET HELP Instead of dealing with the intricacies of the U.S. tax code, you can pay an accountant or one of the many companies who cater to handling payroll and tax concerns for domestic employers. Webb’s company runs 4NannyTaxes.com. Its services range from $495 to upward of $750 a year. They also provide free online calculators, including one to work out payroll taxes: 4nannytaxes.com/calculator/ taxcalc.cfm. Another company, Breedlove & Associates, offers a pay-as-you-go service on its website, breedlove.com, that costs $185 every three months. For a more hands-on approach, Essentia Software Corp. sells NannyPay, software that will calculate taxes, print pay stubs and tax forms. It starts at $119.95 and requires an annual subscription.

The 17.1 percent drop in 2012 is even more dramatic considering the total number of coupons made available â&#x20AC;&#x201D; paper and digital â&#x20AC;&#x201D; remained steady at 305 billion. Charlie Brown, vice president of marketing at NCH, attributes the decline to a calculated move by manufacturers to correct an â&#x20AC;&#x153;unusually highâ&#x20AC;? redemption rate in 2011. Coupon redemption reached 3.5 billion coupons redeemed in 2011, a 6 percent increase over the previous year and a 26 percent increase since before the recession. During the worst of the economic downturn, Morgan said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;marketers ramped up (coupon offers) to protect their market share.â&#x20AC;? In 2012, manufacturers put the brakes on coupons. The coupon values became skimpier, the expiration dates shorter, and oftentimes the coupons required that shoppers buy two or even three of an item before getting 55 cents off.

THE WEEKLY GUIDE TO MANAGING YOUR MONEY

Parent Trap: What to Know Before Taking a College Loan BY RACHEL LOUISE ENSIGN Diana Jackson had no student debt when she got her Bachelor’s degree from Miami University in Ohio in 1982. But when her daughter graduated from the school in 2011, Ms. Jackson was stuck with about $33,000 in parent loans. The 51-year-old now faces a monthly payment of nearly $800. “I’m now looking at being in my mid-70s before I get that paid off,” says Ms. Jackson, an adjunct professor at a community college in Columbus, Ohio. “I am at the point in my life where I would like to be doing some of the things I really want to do. When you’ve got what is essentially another house payment, you can’t do that.” It’s a harsh math lesson that’s becoming all too common for parents of college kids as incomes stagnate, saving becomes more and more difficult and college costs soar. This is the time of year when college financial-aid letters start rolling in. And taking out loans will be tempting for parents if Junior’s college savings, parental contributions and student loans fail to cover the tuition bill. But doing so without a plan to pay off the debt in a reasonable amount of time and not give short shrift to retirement savings can be financially devastating—especially since the terms of parent loans can be onerous. Generally, parents shouldn’t borrow more than they can reasonably repay in 10 years, or before they retire, whichever is sooner, says Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of financial-aid website FinAid.org. Still, more parents are borrowing. Over 17% of graduates in the 2011-12 academic year had parent Plus loans borrowed for them, which are loans available directly from the federal government, each with an average $33,800, according to Fi-

nAid.org estimates based on U. S. Department of Education data. That’s up from 13% with about $23,300 on average in the 2007-08 academic year.

A Last Resort Financial-aid experts and financial advisers say families should exhaust other options before turning to parent loans. That’s because the loans typically come with costlier terms than loans for students. And looser borrowing limits can lead people to take on more debt than they can really afford. With Plus loans, parents can borrow up to the cost of attendance, minus other aid, which these days can top $60,000 per year at some schools. These loans currently carry a 7.9% interest rate, compared with 3.4% for subsidized and 6.8% for unsubsidized federal direct undergraduate loans. Interest starts accruing as soon as you take out the loan, even though you typically don’t have to start repaying until your child graduates. Plus loans also come with an “origination” fee of about 4% of the principal you borrow. That’s about $400 upfront on a $10,000 loan. In addition, parent borrowers face a credit check that’s gotten tighter in recent years, which student borrowers generally don’t face, says Mr. Kantrowitz. “When we’re talking to parents about borrowing, we say do it if they don’t have the means to cover [college] costs in a different way,” says Robert Weinerman, senior director of college finance at College Coach, an admissions-consulting firm in Watertown, Mass., and a former financial-aid officer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Appeal a Loan Rejection Despite Tighter Standards The credit criteria for getting a parent Plus loan was quietly tightened in recent years. But you still can appeal if you are turned down. Parents applying for a Plus loan have to undergo a credit check that looks for an “adverse credit history.” That includes having a current delinquency of 90 days or more; certain events on your credit history, such as a foreclosure; having an account in collections with a nonzero balance; and having an account charged rect student loans (between $5,500 and $7,500 annually for dependent students whose parents aren’t turned down for Plus loans), which have better rates. For families with equity in their home, a cheaper option could be a home-equity line of credit. Travis Sollinger, a financial adviser in the Pittsburgh area, recommended this option to clients considering a parent loan. He says the couple, who had great credit, got a line of credit with an interest rate of

off with a nonzero balance. The percentage of parents denied for a Plus loan jumped to about 50% from about 30% after the standards were tightened, according to a FinAid.org analysis. But parents who are turned down can appeal in certain circumstances. (If you got a Plus loan before the tighter standards were imposed in 2011, you will typically be grandfathered into the program, even if you have what is now considered an adverse credit history.) To appeal a rejection, log into the federal student loan website, about 3%. And the interest they pay is tax-deductible.

Think Long Term Unfortunately for some families, student loans and cutbacks won’t cut it. And home equity is still scarce. So they’ll likely turn to Plus and other parent loans. After emptying the family’s college savings and maxing out the federal student loans her older daughter was eligible for, Ms. Jackson still had an annual tab of up to $11,000. She ended

StudentLoans.gov, and select “Document Extenuating Circumstances.” Or call 1-800-557-7394. You must provide documentation showing that either the credit information pulled was incorrect or that you fall under certain extenuating circumstances (click on “What you need for direct loans” under the “Learn More” tab at StudentLoans.gov). For instance, if you are an authorized user on the account in question, but aren’t a primary account holder, the debt will no longer be held against you. up borrowing more than $44,000 in Plus loans, including loans she later took out for her younger daughter’s education. Before you borrow, however, consider not just your kid’s education, but your own financial situation—including how a loan payment will affect your ability to fund retirement savings or your timetable for retirement. Kathi Tushaus, whose son Thomas is a freshman at the University of Tennessee, took out a $16,000 Plus loan since

there were costs not covered by savings or other aid. This debt and potential future Plus loans means the 51-year-old preschool teacher from Brookfield, Wis., and her husband likely won’t be able to retire early, she says. The University of Tennessee was Thomas’s dream school, Ms. Tushaus says, though he may transfer to a state university in part to save money. And the couple is expecting their son to help with the loan payments when he graduates, she adds. Another option for parents is education loans offered by companies or state-related education funding entities. Parents and grandparents may borrow on their own or cosign for a loan with a child or grandchild (many require a cosigner). You can typically borrow up to the cost of attendance, minus other aid. Credit checks are typically stricter than for a Plus loan. Some of these loans may have interest rates lower than the Plus loan, and low or no origination fees, says Mr. Weinerman. The Massachusetts Educational Financing Authority offers a loan with an in-school fixed rate as low as 5.99%. Parents also need to keep in mind that, compared to federal direct undergraduate loans, there’s less flexibility on Plus loans’ repayment plans if they can’t keep up with payments. After her younger daughter’s freshman year at an out-of-state college, Ms. Jackson realized she couldn’t afford to take on more parent Plus loans. Borrowing more could mean she would never be able to retire. The younger daughter now attends the community college where Ms. Jackson works. “I’m investing in my kids’ future and that’s my job as a parent,” says Ms. Jackson. Still, she warns, “Know when you have to say ‘I have to stop here.’ ” Email: rachel.ensign@wsj.com

Jobless Benefits Shrink—Unevenly Workers across the country are seeing the length of their jobless benefits pared back, a shakeout that is playing out unevenly and pinching people in states still struggling with unemployment above the national average. The changes in benefits are partly the result of an improving job market but are also due to budget pressures at the state and federal level. In Michigan, one of the states hardest hit by the economic downturn and where unemployment remains close to 9%, job seekers will soon receive less than a year of benefits for the first time since the recession hit in 2007. Michigan, which like many states offered 99 weeks of state and federally funded benefits at the peak of its jobs crisis, will become the 19th state to offer less than a year of payments to new claimants for jobless benefits. Nine other states offer more than a year but less than 60 weeks. More changes are coming: North Carolina recently passed a law that will cut benefits to 20 weeks starting in July. The national trend reflects to some degree the gradual healing of the U.S. labor market, which saw the national unemployment rate drop to 7.7% in February. Economists generally agree that unemployment benefits should be cut back as the economy improves in order to encourage job seekers to return to work as quickly as possible. But the duration of benefits doesn’t necessarily match up with states’ economic situations. Alaska offers the longest unemployment benefits, at 86 weeks, despite an unemployment rate of 6.7%. Georgia and South Carolina both offer newly unemployed workers less than a year of benefits despite unemployment rates of 8.7%. Nationally, states now offer 55 weeks of benefits on average. The average unemployed worker has been out of work for 36.9 weeks, but about a quarter of job seekers have been looking for at least a year. —Ben Casselman The Wall Street Journal

Withdrawal Time Are you an IRA owner who turned 70½ last year? If you haven’t already started tapping your traditional individual retirement account, you’ll need to take your first required minimum withdrawal no later than April 1. You must start taking mandatory payouts from traditional IRAs no later than April 1 of the year after the year you turn 70½. Of course, this also means you get stuck with the resulting income-tax bills. And if you fail to take at least the minimum withdrawal amount by April 1, the Internal Revenue Service can sock you with a penalty equal to 50% of the shortfall. IRA minimum-withdrawal rules also apply to simplified employee pension (SEP) accounts and SIMPLE IRAs because they’re also considered traditional IRAs for this purpose. Roth IRAs are exempt. —Bill Bischoff MarketWatch.com

Social Security Math As retirees look to squeeze the most from their Social Security benefits, financial firms and advocacy groups are offering more advice on maximizing payouts. Many variables affect Social Security benefits, from age and the timing of retirement for spouses to taxes, income from continuing work and income from tax-deferred retirement savings. By tweaking any of these, retirees might be able to boost or cut their payouts significantly.

T. Rowe Price Group is rolling out a Social Security benefits evaluator that lets retirees compare their payouts depending on retirement date and financial goals. Prudential Financial in November posted a white paper and video on its website that highlight new claiming strategies for divorced spouses, widows and widowers. AARP last fall rolled out an in-depth Social Security section as part of its suite of retirement-planning tools. Retirees and aspiring retirees can find other low-cost and free Social Security tools at AnalyzeNow.com (click on “Computer Programs.”), SocialSecurityChoices.com and SocialSecuritySolutions.com. —Kelly Greene The Wall Street Journal

Hiring From Within In a depressed economy, employers play it safe. A recent survey from CareerXroads, a human-resources consulting firm in Kendall Park, N.J., shows that nearly 42% of 185,450 open positions at 37 large firms were filled with internal hires last year. This number “rises during bad times when perhaps firms are more willing to give their own employees a chance to fill an opening (even if not the perfect fit) rather than cutting them and hiring to exact [specifications],” according to the 2013 Source of Hire Survey. One glimmer of hope for outsiders: That figure is down from a peak of 51% in 2009, suggesting that employers are feeling somewhat more confi-

dent about looking outside for talent, says Gerry Crispin, one of the firm’s founders. —Lauren Weber At Work Blog WSJ.com

More Scan & Go Wal-Mart Stores’s iPhonebased Scan & Go self-checkout pilot program appears to be going well enough that the retailer is significantly expanding it. Scan & Go, which allows shoppers to scan an item’s bar code with their iPhone and then pay for it at a Wal-Mart self-checkout station, is currently available in about 70 stores. In the coming months, the retailer will roll it out to some 130 more. Wal-Mart also is in the process of adding self-checkout lanes to another 1,000 or so stores this year. Expanding the Scan & Go pilot in concert with that effort makes a lot of sense, as does bolstering it with a version of the app for the Android smartphone. And that, too, is in the works. —John Paczkowski All Things D

Money Mistakes A study released last week by investment firm Edward Jones finds that 79% of 1,008 U.S. adults surveyed in February said they’ve committed a money mistake, and of those, 26% reported not having saved enough for retirement as their No. 1 problem. Also on the list: not paying attention to spending and making bad investments. The EBRI research found that Americans are coming to grips with the dramatic improvements they need to make in their saving habits, with 20% of workers saying they need to save between 20% and 29% of their income to achieve a financially secure retirement, and 23% saying they need to save 30%—or more. —Kelly Greene Total Return Blog WSJ.com The Aggregator, edited by Cristina Lourosa-Ricardo, features news and commentary from The Wall Street Journal and other publications.

Making Sense of Social Security and Medicare

Other People’s Money

BY JENNIFER WATERS

BY AL LEWIS

Social Security, Medicare and other earned benefits make up, by far, the largest portion of the federal government’s expenses. They also are among the most misunderstood. We are starting an occasional series to help you better understand your benefits. We’ll answer your specific questions related to Medicare, Medicaid, estate taxes, retirement disbursement accounts, pensions and how government intervention, inaction or overreaction will affect the rest of your life. Write to Jennifer Waters at jenwaters@outlook.com.

Q: A:

Will I receive Social Security benefits?

That’s a big “It depends.” If you’re over 65, no sweat. If you’re 45-65, you might see some changes from the relatively generous benefits enjoyed by your parents. If you’re under 45, you have plenty to worry about. The problem is more money is being paid out of the system than is going in. The shortfall, now about $200 billion a year, is being made up by drawing on the $2.73 trillion Social Security Trust Fund. The fund is U.S. government bonds that have been bought by the Social Security Administration for 30 years with money paid by baby boomers. They have spent most of their working lives paying more into the system than it spent. The extra money was lent to the government, which used it to offset some of the huge deficits of the 1980s and 2000s. (Without the overpayments, the government surplus in the late 1990s wouldn’t have happened.) Now, the retiring boomers are taking out more than younger workers are putting in. According to current estimates, the trust fund could be fully tapped as soon as 2033.

Q: A:

Clare Mallison

Among possible solutions? Changing the way cost-of-living adjustments are figured, reducing benefits slightly now, but far more over the long haul. Other suggestions range from raising the eligibility age to 70, to reducing benefits for wealthier retirees, to raising taxes. Count on Social Security, in one form or another, being around for a long, long time. But don’t count on it to be as generous as it was in the past.

Q: A:

What can I do about that?

Save. Save. And save some more. Social Security was always meant to be a supplement to savings, family support and pensions. A recent survey from Banker’s Life and Casualty found that two-thirds of middleincome wage earners believe Social Security will pay at least half and some as much as 75% of their retirement costs. Some Americans consider Social Security their major income stream during retirement. Bad idea. Social Security alone isn’t going to cover the lifestyles they are accustomed to—not including health-care costs. Speaking of health care. I understand Medicare is in worse shape than Social Security.

So what’s going to happen?

Time is running out, and the gridlock in Washington isn’t helping.

You bet it is. The Government Accountability Of-

fice estimates the 75-year funding gap will be a staggering $76.4 trillion. The Medicare Security Trust Fund could run dry as soon as 2016, according to a 2011 report from the trustees. And the system is rife with fraud and abuse, costing us nearly $100 billion a year—yes, a year—according to some congressional estimates. To make matters worse, the government can’t seem to get its long-term projections in line. Just last month, the Congressional Budget Office slashed its 10-year budget projection by $143 billion, or 2.2%. It noted that spending was “significantly lower” than projected the last three years, thanks mostly to technology and somewhat to legislation. Is that a trend or a recession-related blip? By some estimates, we will receive health care that costs three times what we paid into it in our lifetimes. Clearly, that’s unsustainable and the only way out is to cut benefits or up the individual ante—neither of which garners much enthusiasm from, well, anyone. But, like Social Security, some form of Medicare will be around for some time though you can expect that it will be parceled and pared down considerably.

Q: A:

How much does Medicare really cover?

Quite a lot, if you stay relatively healthy. Part A, which you get free when you

turn 65 (pay close attention to the series of deadlines necessary to sign up), generally covers inpatient services, like medical care at a hospital and during a recovery or short-term care at a nursing home or in your own home. Part B, which isn’t free but largely affordable, will pay for outpatient services like doctor visits, lab fees or a wheelchair and other medical equipment when you need it. It also covers preventative services—a big deal. Medicare will not cover longterm care, in a nursing facility or at home, for those who are disabled or unable to care for themselves. Part C is called Medicare Advantage and allows you to receive all your medical services through a certain provider, much like a health maintenance organization (HMO) or preferred provider organization (PPO). Part D is a prescriptiondrug plan. Medigap is a supplemental policy sold by private insurance companies to help foot the bill for some health-care costs that original Medicare doesn’t cover, like copayments, coinsurance and deductibles. Most policies also cover you when you travel outside the U.S. And, these policies can’t cut you out if you get very ill or have an existing condition. If all that’s not mind-boggling enough, wait till you see all the deadlines, deductibles and other nuances that go into it.

Let’s face it: $300,000 a year isn’t enough. When Federico Buenrostro Jr. left his post as chief executive of the world’s largest pension fund in June 2008, he said he was retiring from public service “to pursue private-sector opportunities.” He was making only about $300,000 a year in an industry where executives at his level made millions. Never mind that before landing the top job at the California Public Employees’ Retirement System he was just a bureaucrat, the No. 2 guy in the Department of Personnel Administration in California. You take a pencil pusher, ask him to watch over nearly a quarter trillion dollars of other people’s money, and bam, the value of his alleged contributions to society just skyrockets. When Mr. Buenrostro cut the cord at Calpers, it wasn’t because investment performance was slipping; it wasn’t because of dicey real-estate investments at the top of the market; nor was it because of divisiveness on Calpers’s board—all of which the press and others speculated. “Media speculation about reasons for my departure are unwarranted and incorrect,” Mr. Buenrostro said. The day after Mr. Buenrostro left Calpers, he went to work for a firm called Arvco Capital Research in Nevada. Arvco had been founded by Mr. Buenrostro’s friend and former Calpers board member Alfred J. Villalobos. Arvco was an agent that helped private-equity funds get a hold of the pension savings of public employees—the little people’s money that big people like to play with. Last week, a federal grand jury in San Francisco charged Mr. Buenrostro, 64, and Mr. Villalobos, 69, with fraud. The indictment alleges the two forged documents to certify to federal regulators that Arvco had obtained required disclo-

sure letters from Calpers to serve as a placement agent. The indictment says these faked documents allowed Arvco to bag $14 million in fees for getting Calpers to funnel money to New Yorkbased private-equity firm Apollo Global Management. Apollo uses the money to invest in all kinds of important companies. For instance, it owns burger joints Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s. Last week, a bankruptcy-court judge approved its investment in Twinkies, Ding Dongs and whatever else is left of Hostess Brands. The allegations match lawsuits already filed by California and federal regulators. One day, these guys were calling themselves public servants, the next they were collecting fees for getting the savings of public employees into private-equity firms. Corrupt as this may sound, it would have been perfectly OK if they’d received the required permissions. Prosecutors alleged they forged that part. They deny wrongdoing. Calpers’s board is stacked with politicians and union officials who use the fund as a war chest to beat on corporations. Under Mr. Buenrostro, Calpers crusaded against almost everything that is wrong with corporate America, from excessive executive pay and crony boards of directors to the global warming and poverty they help spread. Benn Steil, director of international economics at the Council on Foreign Relations, put it to me this way in an email: “Its board members can pursue politically popular governance, social responsibility and environmental sustainability agendas…while at the same time using the organization to fuel their careers and line their pockets.” Once some folks get their hands on other people’s money they suddenly think it’s their own.

When Jessica Rodrigues moved to New York after four years of doing AIDS health work in Mozambique, she mostly relied on the Internet to look for work. She emailed her résumé in response to online job postings and waited. When that tack didn’t net many offers, she sought help from New York career coach Melissa Llarena, who told her to get more face to face with her search. That included expanding her professional network and coming up with creative ways to get in front of the right people. The first thing Ms. Rodrigues did was mention that she was looking for work to tango dance-class partners. One dancer, who was a board member for a foundation, referred her to a part-time job doing biotechnology proposal research. Ms. Rodrigues later reconnected with a former schoolmate who worked at New York University. She didn’t want to show up just asking for help, so she offered to speak before students that had an interest in working abroad. The success of the event led to a regular speaking engagement at the university and gave her something that she could put on her résumé. “I learned that it’s all about relationship building, that exchange and being creative. And it helps when it’s a more genuine connection as opposed to

just networking, which has such a loaded connotation,” says Ms. Rodrigues, who networked her way into a full-time job last year working on HIV programs for the United Nations. While the Internet has made it easy to apply for work, career experts say that offline networking efforts to meet people and get introductions are a far more effective way to land jobs—especially since 80% of jobs aren’t publicly advertised, says Steven Rothberg, founder of job-search website CollegeRecruiter.com in Minneapolis. Online searches and research are better used to support offline networking. Expand your network beyond industry peers. Anybody can offer potential leads, says Joel Garfinkle, an executive coach from San Francisco. He recently told a client to share her job-search tales with other parents while picking up her children at day care. That led to an introduction by a parent who was the wife of a hiring manager at Yahoo. She got the job. Attend professional trade association chapter meetings, conferences and trade shows. Beforehand, connect with the chapter president, who can introduce you to members. Follow up by volunteering at association events or being on a committee. “All of these things take a lot of time, effort, energy so don’t expect to just walk out with a job referral.

You want to get to know people, become part of the organization, contribute,” says Mr. Garfinkle. “If they like you and see you have credibility, they’re going to want to help you.” Get somebody within the organization to hand deliver your résumé to the hiring manager. Even if you’re not a precise match, you’ll at least get an interview this way, says Ms. Llarena, who recommends using an alumni network or LinkedIn to drill through your web of connections to find somebody who works for the company you’re interested in. Once you get an introduction, take that relationship offline and meet him or her for coffee or set up an informational interview. The latter is an exploratory meeting or phone call where you can learn about a company or industry. People are more likely to respond to a request for an informational interview since you’re not there to ask for a job, says Ms. Llarena. “You’re there to learn about the company and what kind of skills they’re looking for but that connection could end up leading to a job. You’d want to maintain that connection with updates.” Always have your short pitch ready since you want to be able to confidently and knowledgeably respond to any potential employers. “That meeting can happen anywhere,” says Mr. Garfinkle.

POWER «FROM 1K “There is this balance between technology and economics,” Smith said. Tapping into power even when it’s there, however, has been a challenge. Ouray Mayor Bob Risch said he has the bureaucratic scars to prove it. Ouray had the chance to get a free 200-kilowatt turbine and its water supply comes from springs 4 miles above town. It seemed like a great idea for the city to build a hydro plant. The city would have been eligible for an exemption from federal permitting, except that it needed to add 6,000 feet of new pipeline to carry the water to the turbine. That kicked the project into full FERC mode. “It was horrendous,” Risch said. “If we had to pay for it, it never would have happened.” FERC permitting can run from $10,000 to $30,000, which can be more than the cost of many projects, said Johnson. FERC required reams of documents and for Ouray to contact about two dozen potentially interested parties, including three branches of the Ute Indian Tribe, Risch said. It took 18 months to clear the hurdles. “Many people I spoke with at the FERC would apologize,” Risch said. The bills in Congress would also create a conduit exemption for pipeline extensions. Ouray’s plant is up and running, and the turbine is used about eight months each year, saving about $1,000 a month in electricity costs, Risch said. When Meeker rancher Wenschhoff started his project, he had a much easier time because the Colorado Energy Office, in August 2010, had signed a memorandum of understanding with FERC and was providing technical support. “The agreement was that if we got all the paperwork together and submitted it at one time, FERC would promptly review it,” said Tracee Bentley, deputy director of the Colorado Energy Office.

Phil Overeynder, utilities engineer for special projects with the city of Aspen, discusses the inner workings of the Maroon Creek hydro facility in Aspen last week. Chris Council, The Denver Post The energy office worked with Wenschhoff and even helped with his bank loan application. “I think it took 60 days to get the FERC letter,” Wenschhoff said. It took about a month to install the pipes and turbine. The compact system sitting in an orange prefabricated shed generates 23 kilowatts and costs $140,000. Each year, the system saves $12,000 to $13,000 in electricity costs, Wenschhoff estimated, with any excess power sold to the local electric cooperative. “It pretty much runs itself,” Wenschhoff said. The Colorado community that has perhaps taken to hydropower in the

biggest way is Aspen. Starting in the early 1980s, the city, which in 1885 was the first municipality west of the Mississippi River to use hydroelectric power, began building new projects. “We went back to our roots,” said Phil Overeynder, an engineer with the City of Aspen Utilities, who oversaw the hydro projects. Aspen operates two hydropower plants, which provide 1.1 megawatts, and buys additional hydroelectricity from the Western Area Power Administration. In 2012, the city agreed to buy power from a new hydropower plant being built in Ridgway. Aspen gets 50 percent of its power

from running water, and when wind is added, 75 percent of the city’s electricity comes from renewable sources. The reliance on fuel-free electricity has given Aspen among the lowest customer rates of Colorado’s 54 utilities, Overeynder said. The average 700-kilowatt-hour residential bill in Aspen is about $62.70, compared with an estimated $76.65 for an Xcel Energy residential bill, according to data from the utilities. “Hydropower is dependable, and it can be less expensive,” Overeynder said.

ROBBERIES «FROM 1K Bankers are also divided on whether an armed guard puts customers at ease or on edge, said Jenifer Waller, a senior vice president with the Colorado Bankers Association. Banks do take robberies seriously and many train their staff on prevention and how to act and think if it happens, said Waller, who was a victim of a robbery. That includes making sure they understand the robbery is about the money, not about harming them. Don Coker, a bank consultant in Atlanta, said that banks and credit unions should, at a minimum, provide guards at locations that have suffered a robbery. “If there has been a robbery at a particular location, then that location is considered a soft target by robbers, and it could easily be hit again if no security is added,” he warned. Of the 5,014 bank robberies the FBI recorded in 2011, only 197 took place when a security guard was present. Some of that reflects the overall lack of security guards, but also the concern that robbers have with self-preservation. “Robbers don’t want to get shot, so they tend to rob easy targets more than they do hard targets,” he said. Physical violence is relatively rare, with only 88 injuries reported during bank robberies in 2011. By preventing a robbery in the first place, an armed guard actually reduces a bank’s liability, he said. Many employees who have been through a robbery personalize the event, said Debra Holland, a Beverly Hills psychotherapist who has developed a protocol for working with robbery victims. Even if they aren’t physically harmed, some people will play through scenarios in their mind as

JPMorgan Chase’s board said Friday it was standing behind Jamie Dimon, the bank’s chairman and chief executive, in the face of calls from some investors that the two jobs be split. In the bank’s proxy filing, the 11member board said Dimon should continue to hold both positions, as he has since 2006. “The board has determined that the most effective leadership model for the firm currently is that Mr. Dimon serves as both,” the filing said. In the wake of a multibillion-dollar trading loss that roiled the bank’s executive ranks, some investors have been calling for JPMorgan to separate the roles. In February, a vocal group of shareholders, including the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees and pension funds in New York and Connecticut, filed a resolution to divide the chairman and CEO posts. Their effort appeared to gain momentum last week after a Senate hearing and a scathing report into the trading losses, which stemmed from a soured bet on credit derivatives. The 301-page Senate report painted a critical portrait of Dimon. As the trades grew more disastrous in 2012, Dimon failed to rein in the risk, the report found.

Guarding against bank robberies Holdups at banks are falling nationwide, though in Colorado they have held steady in recent years. Only one in 20 occurs in locations where guards are on duty. U.S. bank robberies*

Hugo Ramirez poses in front of the Public Service Credit Union on Colorado Boulevard where he once served as a manager. Karl Gehring, The Denver Post though they had been, Holland said. “The reality of what happens isn’t always as important as what goes through somebody's mind,” she said. “People think they are going to die.” Employers need to realize that if they don’t handle the aftermath of a robbery properly, it could end up costing them much more than the theft itself, Hartman said. “Employers could be open to liability if they ignore workplace safety concerns,” she said. She cites the example of store owners who failed to provide adequate lighting in their parking lots, resulting in lawsuits from victimized customers. There is also the cost from turnover and lost productivity. Ramirez, 27, said the credit-union robberies triggered a chain of events that

resulted in nearly everyone working at the branch leaving, himself included. After the second robbery, his staff worried about running into the robber on the street. The credit union provided counseling the morning after both robberies, but resisted accommodating workers who needed more time off or more counseling, he said. A veteran teller who received the note in the first robbery on Aug. 20 quit, telling Ramirez she was unwilling to risk getting killed. Another worker took time off and went to see an outside therapist at her own expense. Before the first robbery, Ramirez, who took over as manager in June, said he had requested a security guard two times without success on behalf of employees who wanted more protection. Even after his branch was robbed, he

was denied. The branch received a guard for a week after the second robbery in September. Ramirez went directly to CEO David Maus in October and was granted another full week of protection and a week of partial protection. When he returned from a vacation in November, Ramirez said he learned he had been written up for several items, blemishing an otherwise positive record. He was transferred to a smaller branch within the Veterans Affairs hospital, which has a guard. He filed a complaint with the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration, claiming unsafe working conditions. OSHA said that the credit union had accommodated Ramirez by moving him into a location with security and removing the negative job review, and hasn’t taken further action. Over time, Ramirez said his responsibilities were reduced, more of his emails went unanswered by supervisors and his corporate card was cut off. And at the end of January, he resigned, and took a lower-paying job outside of banking. He filed a com-

The Denver Post

plaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, claiming harassment and discrimination. The EEOC is investigating. An executive with Public Service Credit Union declined to comment on the case, citing the ongoing investigation. Hartman said the course that Ramirez took is unusual, but she would not be surprised if more workers do the same when they feel their concerns aren’t addressed. Authorities call the serial robber who hit Ramirez’s branch “The Clearinghouse Bandit” for the magazines he carried to hide his demand note, said FBI spokesman Dave Joly. He is suspected in at least 13 robberies from Denver to Colorado Springs between August and December, including six hits on credit unions. The bandit remains at large, Joly said, and the FBI is seeking the public’s help in capturing him. Aldo Svaldi: 303-954-1410, asvaldi@denverpost.com or twitter.com/aldosvaldi

Dow Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; four-week winning streak comes to an end The Dow snapped a four-week winning streak. Shares of Hewlett-Packard Co. led the charge higher Friday, finishing up 3.2 percent for the day. The S&P 500 index advanced 11.09 points, or 0.7 percent, to close at 1,556.89. The index was down 0.2 percent for the week. Shares of Nike led the S&P 500 higher Friday with an 11 percent gain after the company reported quarterly results above Wall Street estimates. Right behind Nike was Micron Technology, which closed up nearly 11 percent, after the chip maker reported sales above estimates even as its quarterly loss widened.

By Wallace Witkowski and Polya Lesova MarketWatch

U.S. stocks rose Friday in light trading but logged a slight loss for the week, as investors bet that Cyprus will eventually be able to reach a bailout deal with its eurozone partners. Better-than-expected results from Nike Inc. and Micron Technology Inc. also bolstered investor sentiment a few weeks ahead of earnings season. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 90.54 points, or 0.6 percent, to close at 14,512.03, for a weekly loss of less than 0.01 percent.

Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sounds like there is going to be some resolution in Cyprus, so people are excited about that,â&#x20AC;? Greenhaus said. Cyprus lawmakers needed to make â&#x20AC;&#x153;big decisionsâ&#x20AC;? Friday in order to prevent a financial disaster, as parliament prepared to debate a range of crisis proposals. The European Central Bank has said it would cut off liquidity to banks in Cyprus unless it reaches a new bailout agreement with its eurozone partners by Monday.

Shares of luxury jewelry retailer Tiffany & Co. rose nearly 2 percent, after the company reported quarterly results above analyst expectations. The Nasdaq composite index gained 22.40 points, or 0.7 percent, to 3,245.00, as Apple Inc. gained 2 percent on the day. The index, however, finished the week down 0.1 percent. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq both snapped three-week winning streaks. The combination of a possible resolution in Cyprus and better-than-expected earnings reports a few weeks before most of the S&P 500 companies post results gave stocks a major boost, said Dan

Shipping finances sink A glut of cargo vessels and weak demand for transport leave half of carriers “underwater.” By Jack Ewign The New York Times

frankfurt, germany» Can a ship float and be underwater at the same time? If it has been financed by a European bank, the answer may be yes. A glut of ships, along with slack demand for shipping in

FLONOMICS «FROM 1K “With casinos, it’s easy to see how facial-recognition data can influence promotions and all sorts of things, but facial recognition in something like a sporting store, the line isn’t as direct,” Talcott said. Flonomics typically does business with midsize to large companies. Of the 500 locations it serves, fewer than 5 percent use facial recognition, said Talcott, who acknowledges that customers might find the technology unnerving. “A lot of folks hear this and they think, ‘Oh, my God, ‘Minority Report’ is here. This is what we’ve been worried about,’ ” Talcott said. “The reality is a surveillance system in any store stores video; we don’t.” Last month, Flonomics rolled out its newest technology, which includes the ability for companies to track in-store customer activity using Wi-Fienabled electronics. “The people who buy our solution and who we to talk to every day are hungry for more information about their business,” Talcott said. “This is exactly the kind of thing that keeps them satisfied.” The system is enabled only if a customer signs in to the store’s Wi-Fi and agrees to its terms. Then, software detecting the phone’s Wi-Fi beacons can monitor movement around the store. Boingo, a wireless Internet provider, has been equipping stores and shopping centers with the ability to identify WiFi beacons for months. “I think retailers are interested in knowing more about their shopper,” said Joe DeStasio, Boingo’s business-development manager. Some startups are seeking to go beyond collecting demographic and traffic-flow information. FaceDeals, which operates out of Georgia and Tennessee, says it will alert retailers when a specific customer is in the store so the business can then send them targeted promotions. The company is still raising funds and plans to launch this year. “There is a need for something a lot more consumer-centric,” said Dave McMullen, a cofounder of FaceDeals. “Facial recognition is definitely a consumer-centered technology.” FaceDeals has been designed so customers have to sign up to receive the promotions, versus other models that require customers to opt out if they don’t want to participate. “Our whole philosophy is to make consumers’ life better.” McMullen said. “We’re not trying to track them.” Assurances like that might not be enough for some customers. Erika McCarthy and her daughter Kate were recently shopping in downtown Denver and said they were unsure what they thought of such technology. “I’m not a fan of it,” Erika McCarthy said. “I’m not in favor of ‘Big Brother.’ ” McCarthy said she might see a benefit later. Her daughter said she was equally uncertain but found the technology interesting. “It would be nice to have signs posted informing customers if this is happening,” Erika McCarthy said. “Instead of assuming we want this.” That sentiment is being echoed by privacy advocates. “I think it would be good for suppliers to be proactive to assist businesses on customer-

the weak global economy, has slashed the value of cargo ships. According to some estimates, as many as half the cargo carriers on the high seas today may no longer be worth as much as the debt they carry — putting them underwater, in financial jargon. Their resale value is typically lower than the amount borrowed and spent to build them. Large vessels that might have sold for about $150 million new in 2008 today fetch about $40

privacy concerns,” said John Soma, executive director of the Privacy Foundation. Though the ultimate responsibility to inform customers lies with the merchants, Soma said, suppliers don’t want to lose business if customers resist the technology. The National Retail Federation is also keeping up with the new technology. The federation’s vice president of retail technology, Tom Litchford, said he doesn’t see most companies using the technology to identify a customer. “Retailers want to do things like, ‘I know it’s a male; I know what age range he might be,’ ”

million, according to Nicholas Tsevdos, a shipping specialist at CR Investment Management, which helps banks deal with distressed assets. And with cargo fees near record lows, many vessels are not earning enough to make debt payments, either. As European leaders agonize about how to rescue Cyprus banks, the formerly obscure world of ship finance is a reminder of how much cleanup work still lies ahead for European banks.

Litchford said. “They want to do tracking so they understand what’s the path consumers take through the store, how long do they look at things, and do they actually pick up an item?” Litchford predicts that mobile technology will change retail more in the next two to three years than anything else in the past two decades. “There overarching desire is: How do I better service you?” Litchford said. “After this Great Recession, that’s how retailers have to perform.” Adrian Garcia: 303-954-1729, agarcia@denverpost.com or twitter.com/adriandgarcia

How hot is Highlands market? Turn around and it’s sold, as modern duplex nears completion west of Highland Square

Deviree Vallejo shows a duplex nearing completion west of Highland Square. By Mark Samuelson

Top-selling Kentwood City agent Deviree Vallejo had two contemporary townhomes she was ready to show you today in the plasma-heated LoHi market between Highlands and LoDo, but they both sold last week at prices over $600,000 and $700,000 – for units that were in multiple-plex buildings, 2,100 to 2,500 square feet, no basement space included. So she’s punting – showing two larger homes in a duplex that’s still a month from completion, further west in Highlands. West Highlands is a little cooler than LoHi, but not much, says Vallejo. “It’s just nuts,” she told me, as we toured 3538 Raleigh Street and its partner-unit, both at $699,000, six blocks west of Highland Square’s restaurant row. “Highlands isn’t as busy as Lower Highlands,” she said, “but it’s still definitely one of the craziest areas in Denver. We’re seeing bidding wars even north of 38th Avenue.” That would take you further from

WHERE: New contemporary duplex, each 3,500 sq. ft. finished, nearing completion in Highlands, west of Highland Square; desserts. 3538 Raleigh St., Denver; take Speer west past Federal; continue on W. 32nd, past shops, 6 more blks to Raleigh, north 2 blks. PRICE: $699,000 WHEN: Today, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. PHONE: 720-219-0787 WEB: DenverDavid.com

Highlands’ nexus at 32nd and Lowell, past the Sprouts Market, 24-Hour Fitness and Starbucks on 38th, and into the emerging gallery-dining district on Tennyson Street. All three areas, including Lowell, are walkable from these homes – something Vallejo says is the most desired value of buyers flocking to Highlands. Vallejo, who lives in the area, points to nearby Edison Elementary as a great example of a DPS school that’s benefited from heavy parent involvement. When the kids arrived, Vallejo says, residents asked “Why should we have to leave Highlands?” The two 4-bedroom, 5-bath plans, with desserts out, aren’t far enough along to see the contemporary finishes by builder Matt Dendorfer. Floors are done, but everything’s rough enough that you’ll need to sign a waiver to climb to the rooftop decks, or down to the finished basements. You may choose to do that anyway: This is, Vallejo says, the last duplex grandfathered into the old zoning – meaning new builds from here on will be single-family, at prices realistically closer to $800,000. Meanwhile, people who get involved in Highlands homes before completion seem to be making money, Vallejo notes. Deals she’s tracked in the area show prices jumping around 10 percent over the past six months, anytime a buyer backed out and a unit was re-priced. To reach Raleigh Street take Speer west past Federal and angle west onto W. 32nd, another six blocks past the shops, and turn north two blocks.

DOORS CLOSE AT6 Car show offers scope of A3 to IQ to MKZ The yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest car extravaganza between Chicago and Los Angeles ends today. Doors of the Colorado Convention Center open at 10 a.m. for the fifth and final day of the annual Denver Auto Show. By the finish at 6 p.m., more than 100,000 persons will have seen the newest offerings from more than 30 makes of cars and trucks. Five hundred models are on display, from the little smart and IQ to the big Range Rover, from the inexpensive Chevy Spark to the high-end Ferrari, and from the electric-powered Nissan Leaf to the 640-horsepowered Dodge Viper. Admission prices for the event, sponsored by the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association, are $10 for adults and $5 for kids ages 7 through 12; those 6 and younger are admitted free. Bud Wells can be reached via e-mail at bwells@denverpost.com.

REAL ESTATE

Right: Scheduled to go on sale in Denver in September will be a version of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 Concept Style Coupe, of front-wheeldrive configuration, a departure from the German makerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rear-drive tradition. At a starting price of $29,900, the stylish â&#x20AC;&#x153;quad coupeâ&#x20AC;? will be powered by a 2-liter, 4-cylinder turbocharged engine and 7-speed automatic transmission. It is 182 inches in overall length. All-wheel drive (4Matic) and panorama sunroof will be optional. Below right: A service person clears the path for the shiny new 2014 Chevy Silverado four-door pickup at the Colorado Convention Center. The crew cabs offer a slightly longer 6-foot-6 box and a choice of three engines, a 4.3-liter V-6, 5.3-liter or 6.2-liter V-8 with 6-speed automatic transmission. The pickups will go on sale this summer. Left: The Volkswagen Jetta, noted especially for its TDI diesel power, now also offers a gasoline hybrid version of the nimble performer. This one, at the Denver Auto Show, is equipped with a 1.4-liter gas engine, 27-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery. The four-door SE model carries a sticker price of $27,785. Right: The Nissan Leaf Electric draws attention at a press conference during Media Day at the Denver Auto Show.

Dear Tom and Ray: I have a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer with about 90,000 miles. Several months back, I was driving home on a rainy night and splashed through a deep puddle. Immediately, a loud whining noise came from the car, which grew louder when I pushed on the gas. A minute later, it stopped. Then about a week later, on another rainy day, it happened again. It happens for only about a minute, then stops. It now happens even when it’s not raining, when I just step on the gas for more power. The whining is very loud and scary and it makes me think the car is going to explode. My husband thinks it’s nothing and that I should continue to ignore it; however, I am pregnant and don’t want to head into motherhood worrying about my safety and the safety of my baby. Please help! — Moon

Ray: It sounds to me like a slipping belt, Moon. I’m guessing your splash guard Volkswagen

fell off, and that allowed water to splash up and temporarily lubricate your belt. Belts aren’t supposed to be lubricated; they’re supposed to be sticky. When a belt slips and slides on its pulleys, it makes that shrieking/ whining noise. Tom: And all that slipping wore out your belt even more, so now it slips even when it’s not wet. Ray: It makes noise when you step on the gas, which is a classic symptom of a loose or worn-out belt. Eventually, the belt will get so bad that it’ll squeal all the time. Then, one day it’ll break and fall off, and you’ll lose your power steering and alternator, among other things. Tom: But the noise will be gone! Ray: True. But my advice would be, before that happens, to take it into a shop and tell them you have what you think is a belt noise and ask them to check it out. You want to get this fixed, Moon. Trust me on this — there will be more than enough squealing and whining in your future. You need to enjoy and savor all the peace and quiet you can get in the next few months!

■ Morgan seeks driver involvement in an electric car: Electric vehicle drivetrains almost always include automatic transmissions, but one small prestige British firm is building an electric-drive sports car with a 5-speed manual gearbox. “It’s all about driver involvement,” It’s assumed that electric cars said design engineer Robert Gibson numb the driving experience, of the Morgan Plus E speedster. but Morgan thinks you can have “We looked at using a sequenyour cake and shift it for yourtial (electronic) gearbox, but the self, too. It will use a manual problem is that you don’t get the transmission instead of the correct driving characteristics that usual single-speed unit. would suit a road car.” The Plus E’s transmission is the same as any other 5-speed manual; you need to press the clutch pedal to change gears, but don’t expect to get your hands on one anytime soon. Last year, Morgan hand-built fewer than 1,000 of its much sought-after, premium-priced sports cars.

■ Electric delivery trucks made in California: UPS has deployed, with some unspecified funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 100 fully electric commercial vehicles to deliver packages to people and businesses UPS has added 100 electric around California. With delivery trucks to its fleet more than 2,500 alternatethat the company says will fuel vehicles in service cut yearly fuel consumption worldwide — employing by 126,000 gallons. hybrid, electric and natural gas technologies — the 100 new electric additions specific to California have a local flavor. “These trucks were built here,” noted Gov. Jerry Brown. “They’ll be driven here and they’re already changing the way business is done here (by) cutting emissions and eliminating the need for tanker trucks-worth of fossil fuels.” They’ll also cut UPS’ consumption of conventional motor fuel by about 126,000 gallons per year.

■ Fiat brings “more and bigger” cars to America: Look for Fiat by 2015 to add at least six more models to a North American lineup that now consists of one vehicle — the Fiat 500 — in three distinct trim levels, reports WardsAuto. “Got to have something for everybody,” Wards quotes Tim Kuniskis, head of the brand in the country’s central region, at the Chicago auto show. With 200 Fiat dealers spread across the country, the 500 alone “is not enough product for our showrooms. So we need more cars and bigger cars.” We just won’t get too big. Fiat will never (market) a really big car, never a pickup or a big SUV.” ■ Cruze Turbo Diesel coming this summer: The cleanest, most efficient diesel passenger car engine that General Motors says it has ever produced will power the 2014 Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel sedan, going on

sale this summer in the United States and Canada. Build in Lordstown, Ohio, the Cruze TD further diversifies GM’s 4-cylinder lineup “and is poised to win over diesel devotees and compact car buyers with its performance, torque and fuel economy,” said Chevrolet VP marketing Chris Perry. Its new 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder engine makes 148 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque, giving it zero-to60-mph performance of 8.6 seconds. “We leveraged engineering expertise

■ BMW i3 heralds “sustainable driving fun”: BMW promises that above all, its first production electric car will be a fun-to-drive premium motoring experience that produces zero local emissions. The automaker unveiled its i3 Concept Coupe at the 2012 Los Angeles auto show, “in parallel to the ongoing development process for getting the first ever all-electric model from the BMW i brand ready for series production.” The fully electric i3 Concept Coupe channels its 170-horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels through a single-speed transmission, the electric motor drawing its energy from the lithium-ion storage cells under the floor. “Positioning the battery units here has the effect of lowering the center of gravity

Electric vehicles must add noise: New rules to require minimum sound levels from electric vehicles, hybrids and other quiet cars to warn pedestrians are being urged by the National Highways Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Electric and hybrid vehicles do not rely on traditional engines and at low speeds, can be hard to hear coming. The administration’s blanket-approach proposal sets minimum sound levels to help make pedestrians, especially visually impaired people, aware of approaching vehicles. NHTSA plans to phase in the new rules over three years, starting with 2016 models, reports The Detroit News. It expects the proposal will cost the auto industry about $23 million in the first year and estimates the additional per-vehicle cost at $35.

Shift points ■ Honda has placed an order with Juhl Wind Inc. of Pipestone, Minn., to develop, install and operate two wind turbines to service its transmission factory at Russells Point, Ohio. The two turbines will supply about 10 percent of the plant’s electrical requirements. ■ Even with Tesla Motors’ Fremont, Calif., assembly plant running at its full annualized rate of 20,000 vehicles, or about 400 per week, waiting time for Tesla’s new midsize electric sedan, Model S, is still between four to six months, depending on content.

Higher Nutrient Levels Help Keep Brain in Good Shape While Aging High blood levels of several nutrients might help prevent brain shrinkage, a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. Gene L. Bowman, ND, MPH, of Oregon Health Sciences University, Portland, and his colleagues measured blood levels of 30 nutrients in 104 men and women with an average age of 87 years. The subjects underwent tests to assess their thinking abilities and memory, and 42 of them had magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to determine their brain size. Overall, the subjects had few conventional risk factors for thinking and memory problems. However, high blood levels of the B-complex vitamins (speciﬁcally B1, B2, B6, folate, and B12) and vitamins C, D, and E, as well as the omega-3 fats, were associated with better thinking, memory, and brain size. In contrast, people whose diets contained relatively large amounts of trans fats – found in packaged foods, fast foods, fried foods, baked goods, and margarine – were more likely to have poorer brain function and smaller brain size. Non-nutritional factors, such as education and blood pressure, accounted for 46 percent of the variation in thinking and memory test scores. Nutrient levels accounted for 17 percent of the variation in test scores. In addition, nutrients accounted for 37 percent of the variation in brain size. The study was notable because the researchers measured blood levels of nutrients instead of relying only on questionnaires about dietary intake. Reference: Bowman GL, Silbert LC, Howieson D, et al.

Vitamin D activates immune system Recent studies have found that vitamin D plays a crucial role in activating the immune system to fight infections. In the latest research along these lines, a team of American, German, and South Korean researchers discovered that vitamin D was necessary to prompt T cells (a type of immune cell) to release interferon-gamma. Interferon-gamma facilitates communication between cells and prompts infected cells to fight bacteria. The immune response also activates macrophages (a type of white blood cell) to attack bacteria and to secrete a germ-fighting compound called cathelicidin. Fabri M.

Beauty from the Inside Out

By Heather Pratt, MNT

hey say beauty is only skin deep, but “they” obviously don’t know anything about how the skin works. Considering that our skin is a direct reflection of what is happening on the inside, it is much more accurate to say “beauty is much deeper than skin deep.” Nearly every condition of the skin, from wrinkles and age spots to acne, eczema, and psoriasis, can be influenced by a deeper bodily imbalance. Standard efforts to treat the skin focus mostly on topical solutions with very little acknowledgement of the underlying causes. While topical treatments may work to a certain extent, it is also important to investigate what is happening internally. Being proactive with your food choices is one crucial step in maintaining the health of your skin and to start creating beauty from the inside out. The skin is the body’s largest organ and belongs to the integumentary system, which also includes the hair and nails. The outermost layer of the skin is called the epidermis and helps protect us from infection, extreme temperatures, and ultraviolet radiation; it is constantly renewing itself. The next layer is the dermis, which is a thick connective tissue layer made up of water, collagen, and elastin fibers. Collagen is like the scaffolding, giving structure and firmness to the skin while helping to keep it hydrated, while elastin give the skin elasticity. Directly below the dermis is the subcutaneous layer that, among other things, contains fat tissue, blood vessels, and nerves that connect the skin to the rest of the body; this layer also contains some collagen and elastin. Like all other body systems, the integumentary system is dependent on nutrients for optimal function and is susceptible to imbalances caused by poor diet, stress, and toxins. Understanding the Imbalances In the past several years there has been an influx of skin care products containing antioxidants, and with good

reason: the most widely accepted theory of aging is the free radical theory. Free radicals are unstable molecules that damage cells, proteins, and DNA in the body. When it comes to the skin, free radicals initiate the breakdown of the skin’s structural support (collagen and elastin), decreasing the elasticity and suppleness of the skin, while increasing inflammation. Free radicals are generated by natural bodily processes but are also formed from tobacco smoke, chemical toxins, pollutants, UV radiation, and certain foods. The body has built-in antioxidant systems to balance the effects of free radicals but when these systems are overwhelmed, excess free radicals damage the cell membrane, making them stiff and inflexible. Ultimately this damage leads to an inflammatory response. Inflammation is at the root of nearly every skin condition – it leads to collagen breakdown and initiates the clogging of pores; it is also responsible for the raised, red, and often itchy skin that comes with rashes, eczema, and psoriasis. Free radical damage is not the only thing that can cause inflammation in the skin. Ultraviolet radiation exposure, air pollution, certain diseases, stress, lack of sleep, dehydration, and sugar consumption all contribute to skin inflammation. What many people don’t realize is that sugar consumption, with its ensuing blood sugar and insulin spike, is a real killer for the skin. Not only does elevated blood sugar create free radicals and promote inflammation, it also leads to the formation of AGEs; and AGEs do exactly what they sound like they do – they age us. Their outward manifestations can be seen as tough skin with deep lines. Sugar’s destructive effects on the skin don’t stop with AGEs, because with a rise in blood glucose comes a rise in insulin. As insulin levels rise, a hormonal cascade that favors tissue growth is set into action. In the skin, these hormones can encourage clogged follicles, the destruction of collagen, and the formation of abnormalities like skin tags. The effect that elevated blood sugar has on the skin is massive. And you don’t have to be diabetic or prediabetic to experience the damaging effects of raised blood sugar. New research has shown that damage can occur even with slightly elevated blood sugar, still within the ‘normal’ range. Keeping your blood sugar stable throughout the day is critical to protecting your skin. Whether you are fighting wrinkles or acne, it is wise to focus on balancing your blood sugar and reducing free radical damage, but know that conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or acne may require additional work to correct underlying imbalances, including excess inflammation. Believe it or not, looking to the gut might be the best place to begin – when the intestinal lining is damaged it can lead to systemic inflammation. The connection between digestive conditions and skin manifestations are well recognized: constipation and acne, celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis, food allergies and eczema. Researchers are just beginning to understand how the beneficial bacteria in the intestines may influence the skin; for example, probiotics modulate inflammation and several studies have linked probiotic

intake with improvements in acne. Besides, the health of the digestive tract determines the efﬁciency with which you digest and absorb the foods you eat, and thus the nutrients that will be available to feed the skin. Feed Your Skin from the Inside

There are plenty of ways to support skin health through the diet. The following is a brief list of some exceptional skin foods and practices. ► Balance the blood sugar by avoiding foods that cause a spike, including all sugars, flour products, and even fruits for some people. Eat at regular intervals and be sure to include adequate protein and fat. ► Get plenty of antioxidants by eating a rainbow of vegetables every day. Other good sources of antioxidants include berries; green and white tea; chocolate (but only if it is 80% cacao content or higher, otherwise you run the risk of getting too much sugar and the benefits are lost); and herbs such as turmeric, ginger, rosemary, and cinnamon. ► Get the right fats to balance inflammation. Eat plenty of omega-3s, found in wild, coldwater, fatty fish, and avoid pro-inflammatory omega-6 fats from vegetable oils and trans-fats. Also include a variety of monounsaturated and saturated fats such as those found in avocados, olive oil, nuts and seeds, coconut oil, butter, and naturallyraised animal products. They help modulate inflammation and maintain a healthy cell membrane. ► Consume probiotic rich foods daily such as yogurt, kefir, unpasteurized sauerkraut, kim chi, miso, and kombuchatosupportthehealthofthedigestivesystem. ► Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Pure water not only helps to keep the skin clean and hydrated but also helps to fight inflammation. ► Sulfur-rich foods such as eggs, meat, poultry, onions, garlic, and cruciferous vegetables help to build collagen and glutathione, the body’s most potent internal antioxidant. ► Vitamin A is a potent antioxidant and important for promoting skin cell turnover. Foods high in vitamin A include liver, grass-fed butter, eggs, and cod liver oil. Red and yellow fruits and vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, and red peppers supply beta-carotene, which is also an antioxidant that the body can convert to vitamin A. (Note: a large number of the population does not efficiently convert betacarotene to vitamin A, so supplementation may be necessary.) Every meal and snack gives you the chance to foster skin health from the inside, letting your beauty shine through. So go ahead, feed yourself gorgeous!
