A recently adopted 10 percent pay cut for Routt County employees has provided the next point of contention between the Board of County Commissioners and Sheriff Gary Wall. Wall told County Manager Tom Sullivan on Thursday morning to expect a letter from Sheriff’s Office atWall torneys challenging whether the commissioners have the authority to force a pay reduction on his department. “I am standing up for the office of sheriff, and I am standing up for my employees,” Wall said Friday. “I see that as my obligation as the elected sheriff. … It’s a separate constitutional office. … It is my obligation to protect and not turn it over to the county to run.” County Attorney John Merrill said there is no question, in his opinion, regarding the county commissioners’ ultimate authority of county expenditures.

Communicate your health care choices � ��

A healthy, vibrant woman, age 75, was golfing when she suddenly fell to the ground. Diagnostic tests revealed an aggressive type of brain cancer. A delicate surgery was recommended. Another woman, just 38 years old, was struggling to control her diabetes. One day at home she collapsed in cardiac arrest and suffered significant brain damage. Physicians did not expect her to make a meaningful recovery. These real-life examples come to mind when members of Yampa Valley Medical Center’s Ethics Committee discuss the importance of making and communicating one’s health care choices in advance. The older woman was able to give her family peace of mind by choosing her course of treatment and manner of death. It was a different story for the younger woman’s family, who spent many agonized hours debating what kind of care she would have wanted. Thursday is National Healthcare Decisions Day. YVMC’s Ethics Committee advises everyone to prepare for an unexpected and serious health challenge. “Sometimes people can go

from being very able to speak for themselves to not being able to, within 24 hours,” Ethics Committee Chair Carole Milligan, M.D., said. “The message is: communicate, communicate, communicate. Don’t delay discussing your medical wishes with friends and family.” The Ethics Committee serves as an advisory group and resource to YVMC and its patients. The committee helps to identify and address issues involving patients and their families in treatment care decisions.

The company, which is based in Steamboat Springs, held a contest earlier this year at Soda Creek and Manhattan Middle School in Boulder, where the companies design center is located. Several designs produced by Soda Creek students were used for prototypes, but the company picked Techarukpong’s for the girls sock. A student from Boulder’s design was used for the boys sock.

Skiing closes with a splash Pond skim, concerts and late-day sun mark end of season

Ryan Armento takes a cold dip Sunday at the pondskimming competition at the base of Steamboat Ski Area. The 2008-09 ski season closed Sunday with concerts by Catchpenny and Ozomatli and competitions like the Steamboat Splashdown Pond Skim.

Mallory Hoots came down the hill a few minutes later dressed in scuba gear and was the first contestant to successfully cross the pond. “I think I just leaned back, but I was pretty scared,” Hoots said. Her costume served multiple purposes, she said. “I tried to just make it a thing so I was able to stay afloat but also make it a costume, in case I went in,” Hoots said. Costumes are key to the pond skim, with this year’s contestants dressing as construction workers, Marie Antoinette, Broncos players, and people wearing very little clothing. Denver resident Bobby Rivard fell into the last cat-

egory, as he crossed the pond wearing green spandex tights, briefs and a red cape. Rivard said his friends came up with more elaborate costume plans, but most were complicated or expensive. “I thought, you know what, wearing a pair of tights and putting some underwear on them always works, and then the cape just came naturally,” Rivard said, adding that his strategy of watching a handful of contestants skim the pond before he attempted it kept him safe from an icy swim. Members of the Minneapolis power-pop band Catchpenny took the stage in Gondola See Closing day, page 13

Style topped grace in the second annual Steamboat Splashdown Pond Skim on Sunday, closing out the 2008-09 ski season with flashy costumes and a ride across a manmade pond at the base of Steamboat Ski Area. A capacity group of 50 skiers and snowboarders attempted to cross the pond — most succeeded, with a few memorable crashes and sputtering swims out of the pool thrown into the mix. Honorable mentions went to a skier wearing a fluorescent duct-tape bikini and a snowboarder dressed as Jesus, but announcers awarded a 2009-10 Steamboat ski pass to a pair of skiers with character. Outfitted as Tweedledee and Tweedledum, Tamera Malczyk and Megan Gilman won the contest with a high-speed race into the pond, a seamless crossing and a heavily flawed victory dance. The two dressed in yellow, green and red polka-dotted costumes held out with a hulahoop waist. “Our goal was to be the first female duo to get across the pond together,” Gilman said, after Malczyk joked the two were trying to work off excess weight in the race. The pair competes at a similar event in Vail — where Gilman lives — every year. They started competing at Malczyk’s home resort in Steamboat last year. Announcers read the water temperature in the pond at just below 34 degrees Fahrenheit moments before the first pond skimmer skied down the bottom section of Stampede and crashed into the chilly water. Skier Martha Anderson — clad in a brightly colored ski suit and a cape — was the first to be pulled out of the water by the lifeguards on scene. Her friend

After lunch at the annual Girls to Woman Conference, Routt County eighth-graders participate in an exercise called “Reality Bytes.” Girls preparing to make the transition to high school fill out a financial survey that asks what career they want to have and what kind of lifestyle they’d like to lead. They then review the costs of those choices. “Every year, the girls are fairly shocked,” said Melissa Calhoon, event co-chair for this year’s event. The exercise also covers costs such as health insurance and college loan payments. The 11th annual Girls to Women Conference is from 8:45 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Steamboat Grand Resort Hotel. The conference — titled “Shine ’09: Sisters Helping to Influence a New Era” — offers workshops in career choices, personal growth and financial independence for eighth-grade girls from all Routt County schools. Girls to Women is the signature event for New Frontiers for Girls & Women, a local nonprofit group. Participating girls sign up for three workshops through-

Cheery chervil

GARDENING

ost gardeners like to try growing something new and different mixed in with the tried and true, and for herb aficionados, chervil might just fill that need. It is a culinary herb that has been used and loved since ancient times with continued wide use in Europe, though little this side of the Atlantic.

Chervil is a native of southeastern Europe and western Asia that is now naturalized in every continent. A member of the umbellliferae family, chervil (Anthriscus cerefolium) is a delicate looking fern-like hardy annual with a refreshing spicy flavor — subtler than parsley with a hint of myrrh (anise).

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Dorothy Wickenden boarded a snowmobile in Hayden in February, embarking on a different journey to the same place her grandmother sought more than 90 years before. Wickenden’s grandmother Dorothy Woodruff arrived in 1916 to teach at the Elkhead School north of Hayden, drawn by a desire to serve and a hankering for adventure. Wickenden, the executive editor of The New Yorker magazine, arrived to retrace some of Woodruff’s steps and to tell her grandmother’s story. The tale will appear in the April 20 edition of the magazine, which hits newsstands today. “I really did have a very clear sense because my grandmother had described the terrain so carefully in her letters. … I could see that she was a very accurate reporter, actually, so when you’re up there, you get the sense of remoteness and starkness,” Wickenden said. The idea to write the story entered Wickenden’s head in October, when she was stuck at home with a broken ankle. She came across copies of the 25 or so letters Woodruff wrote during her time at Elkhead. “That’s when I thought, just on its own, this is such a wonderful tale, so I thought, ‘I wonder if there are other records, and I wonder if this had as big an impact on others,’” Wickenden said. She found that it had. Farrington Carpenter drew Woodruff and her friend Rosamond Underwood to the untamed West from Auburn, N.Y. They taught for a year in the Elkhead community, about 17 miles north of Hayden. People remembered and talked about the two women for years afterward. The two-story rock schoolhouse still stands. Wickenden enlisted locals’ help to piece together the story. Mary Pat Dunn, curator of the Hayden Heritage Center, and Jan Leslie, who has written books about Routt County, lent a hand. Hayden resident Rebecca Wattles, a descendent of an Elkhead settler, filled in gaps. Carpenter’s grandchildren Reed and Belle Zars also were an asset, Wickenden said. “Rebecca came in to the Hayden Heritage Center with her own photo album, and many of them were similar to the photographs I had in my photo album,” Wickenden said. She came away with tales, photographs, names and much more information than would fit

into an article. “One of the greatest discoveries, and I didn’t know this existed … was the yearbook the students, the graduating class of 1920, had put together,” Wickenden said. She now has a copy of that in her personal archives. The experience also enriched the Hayden folks involved. “I think before she came out, I was a little intimidated,” Dunn said. “I thought this big-city person was going to come out. … She was just an absolute delight to work with, and she was just really gracious.” The Elkhead community was an interesting one, Dunn said. “There’s so much to be told about it,” she said. “I just feel

that community was such a special community, and in many ways typical of other Western communities. I think there were a lot of personalities that were very high in their ethics and morals and standards and educations, and I feel like that filtered down in their ideals.” When the Elkhead community dissolved, many of the homesteaders ended up in the Yampa Valley and Hayden, Dunn said. “A lot of those people left Elkhead and were very influential in Hayden,” she said. “And I don’t even mean by what they did in the community but just by virtue of their personalities and their ethics See Elkhead School, page 13

COMMENTARY

Do you have something to say about a story we’ve written?

Demi in Des Moines? Maureen Dowd

THE NEW YORK TIMES

SAN FRANCISCO

California’s having an identity crisis. Once the West Coast glowed with prosperity and was the harbinger of hip new things. Now it’s in the grip of recession and repression. California’s cool has been stolen by, of all places, Iowa. White-bread, cornfed, understated Iowa was the first state to ratify the black rookie Barack Obama and has usurped the role everyone thought California Dowd would play as a leader in the fight to give gays the right to marry. Now it’s flyover country that’s starting high-flying trends. The mayor of Des Moines, Frank Cownie, called the San Francisco mayor, Gavin Newsom, to leave him a message

about the Iowa Supreme Court decision. “That caught me, candidly, by surprise, proverbially flat-footed,” Newsom said in an interview at City Hall. “It was around April 1st, so I thought, honestly, it was an April Fool’s joke.” It seemed so topsy-turvy. “It’s pretty extraordinary,” the Irish Catholic mayor said, in an office filled with Kennedy memorabilia and the ghosts of the Harvey Milk-George Moscone murders. “Now you have four states that are legally sanctioning same-sex marriage, and New York and California are not among them. Who could have predicted that?” The Dream Factory is being left in the dust by the Field of Dreams. Max Mutchnick, the co-creator of “Will and Grace,” who married the entertainment lawyer Erik Hyman in Beverly Hills just days before Proposition 8 passed last November — theirs is among the 18,000 or so marriages now in legal limbo

— was tickled by the idea of Iowa as the new California. “Will we see David Geffen rollerblading in the Des Moines skywalk?” Mutchnick mused. “Will paparazzi chase after farmers looking for candid shots? Will Ashton and Demi be BlackBerrying friends from their corner table at Applebee’s? Will there be a new line of Kiehl’s products for goats?” Mutchnick, who is raising twin girls with Hyman, frets that Obama may be behind the country on this issue, and that the Obamas do not have enough gays around them. “If more homosexuals were in the Obamas’ lives,” the writer said, “there is no way Michelle would have worn a twin set when she met the queen.” Newsom is running for governor, even though his cause foundered, and he may have trouble wooing those blacks and Latinos who supported Prop 8. See Dowd, page 9

Obama’s word play Jonah Goldberg

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

President Barack Obama had a grand time in Europe. He wowed the press, met the queen, gave some wonderful news conferences and got virtually none of the major policy concessions he wanted. But he did do a lot of talking, for what that’s worth. And for Obama, that’s worth a lot. During the campaign, then-Sen. Obama made it clear that he thought words meant a great deal. “Don’t tell Goldberg me words don’t matter,” Obama proclaimed. “ ‘I have a dream’ — just words? ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal’ — just words? ‘We have nothing to fear but fear itself’ — just words? Just speeches?” Give the man points for consistency.

He has put rhetorical innovation on an equal footing with policy innovation. Exhibit A: “Overseas contingency operations.” That’s the Obama administration’s term of choice to replace “the long war” or “the global war on terror.” Janet Napolitano, head of Obama’s Department of Homeland Security — primarily created to deal with terrorist attacks in the wake of 9/11 — has decided “terrorist attack” is too hard-edged. It’s “man-caused disasters” now. “That is perhaps only a nuance,” Napolitano explained to a German newsmagazine, “but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur.” Meanwhile, the White House has announced that prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, will no longer be called “enemy combatants.” No word yet on what the new term will be. No doubt the poetic euphony of

“man-caused disasters” and “overseas contingency operations” sets a very high bar for Obama’s Office of Euphemism Generation. But surely “Men Prone to Disaster Causation” or “Overseas Counter-Contingency Operators” are the most obvious choices. My friend Mark Steyn, however, suggests going another way: “Future Facebook Friends.” And that points to just one of the problems with the Obama administration’s effort to use words to shape reality. It’s morally tone-deaf. Maybe Napolitano is right about the need to bleed fear from our politics. But these phrases are morally meaningless. Public safety is an important government function, but, regardless of whether “war on terror” was the right term, it’s surely wrong to use language better suited for a salmonella outbreak to describe a conflict with evil men who have American blood on their hands.

VIEWPOINTS

Dowd continued from 8 He doesn’t like the image of California reeling backward and “becoming the first state in U.S. history to use the constitution to strip people’s rights away.” The dashing mayor, now 41, was a pariah at the 2004 Democratic convention because some Democrats thought his operatic parade of gay marriages had helped W. and Karl Rove buzz the base and eke out a victory against John Kerry. Over what he called a “Vitamin V” vodka at the St. Regis hotel here, Newsom’s predecessor, Willie Brown (who prefers Jerry Brown for governor and thinks Newsom should run for lieutenant governor) disputed this, laughing: “You think John Kerry lost because Gavin Newsom married people? No way! It was because he was

on that sky-diving piece of equipment. Wind-surfacing. He was wind-surfacing all over the world.” Newsom said he hasn’t sat down with Barney Frank, who warned the mayor to win approval in court before issuing marriage licenses, but that he had reconciled with Dianne Feinstein, who said Newsom had pushed the issue “too much, too fast, too soon.” Although he says he doesn’t like being a chew toy for Ann Coulter, Bill O’Reilly and the religious right, or getting ugly Twitter messages or obscene gestures from people at airports, he asserts that his brazen approach in 2004 made it harder for Democrats “to speak from both sides of their mouths to justify their position that separate is equal,” and caused a “softening” in discrimination.

“People watched and saw a human face,” he said. “They saw somebody who looked like their next-door neighbor and said, ‘That’s not the person with chaps in the big gay parade.’” He said he has been rereading Martin Luther King’s “Letter From Birmingham Jail” and feels he needs to “do more, now and better.” “If we didn’t do it in 2004, do you think the party would have wanted us to do it in 2006 during the midterm elections to take back Congress?” he said. “God forbid. 2008? Well, it’s another presidential year. And now people are saying 2010? That’s another critical year to hold Congress, and we’ve got statehouses across the nation. 2012? Another presidential year. 2014? Another congressional year. Wait does almost always mean never. That was Dr. King’s point.”

For enemies and friends, words are just words We’ve seen this before. Madeleine Albright, Bill Clinton’s secretary of state, famously declared that countries such as North Korea would no longer be called “rogue nations” but instead “states of concern,” which sounded an awful lot like various poses from a photo shoot with Dr. Phil. One can hope that the problems that came with the Clinton administration’s lawyerly approach to terrorism won’t be replayed by this administration. So far it’s hard to say definitively how Clintonite Obama’s approach really is. His approach toward Iraq and Afghanistan is better than his critics on the right expected and worse than his fans on the left hoped. Indeed, despite the change in jargon, in the war formerly known as “the war on terror,” Obama’s policies are

shockingly in sync with Bush’s. However his policies turn out, it’s clear that Obama still puts a great amount of stock in the power of words — his words. In particular he continues to have a candidate’s relish for denigrating George W. Bush and a left-wing academic fondness for finding fault with America. Similarly, as befits a very symbolic president, his administration enjoys symbolic gestures. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton worked on the Russians before the Group of 20 summit by giving them a giant red button with the word “reset” on it. In a meeting with the Russian president, Obama followed up by lamenting the “drift” in RussianAmerican relations. Putting aside the oddness of giving a big red button to an antagonistic country with a boatload of nuclear weapons, it’s still an odd tack

to take with the Russians. After all, whatever mistakes the Bush administration may have made, Russia was hardly the aggrieved party. America didn’t make Russia invade Georgia, aid Iran or crush democracy. President Bush famously, and naively, saw Vladimir Putin’s soul in the Russian leader’s eyes. Obama’s naiveté may rest in his own belief that his words amount to some kind of Jedi mind trick. Indeed, Obama spent the week telling Europeans everything they wanted to hear, but got little for it. The French and the Germans still belittled America’s “AngloSaxon” capitalism and refused to follow our lead. This might lead to a painful realization for Obama. Although he may think words are everything, for our enemies and even our friends, words are — still — just words.

VNA programs aim to improve and protect lung health Tamera Manzanares

Pulmonary health services

SPECIAL TO THE PILOT & TODAY

A lack of medical insurance or funds shouldn’t be barriers to better lung health. Unfortunately, older adults, who have the highest incidence of conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, often are among those living on very limited incomes. That’s why the Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association offers free and/or low cost pulmonary health services to those whose health needs outweigh their ability to pay. “We’re trying to reach people who don’t have access to good medical care,” said Janice Poirot, VNA public health nurse. Pneumonia vaccines, basic lung function screening, as well as asthma and tobacco cessation consultations are available during weekly clinics at the Steamboat VNA and by appointment in Craig and Steamboat. The vaccine is free to low-income, uninsured residents of all ages (otherwise it is $35). Lung screenings and consultations are free to everyone, though sliding-scale fees may apply to ongoing screenings and support.

Controlling of lung health

Once a person knows the truth about their health, they can begin managing their conditions and lifestyles for a better quality of life. Lung screenings involve a small device called a spirometer, which measures how much air a person breathes in and out of their lungs. The device uses the measurement to estimate a smoker’s “lung age.” “That kind of information can be very motivating,” Poirot said. Smoking damage doesn’t have to be permanent: Lung function begins to improve within three months of quitting smoking while shortness of breath and coughing decrease within nine months, according to reports by the U.S. Surgeon General. A person’s risk of coronary heart disease, lung cancer and stroke declines significantly within 15 years of being smoke-free. The VNA’s tobacco cessation program

and the Colorado QuitLine provide free coaching to individuals working to quit smoking. Regular spirometry screenings help gauge their progress. “The sooner you stop, the better chance you have of turning it around,” said Victoria Barron, a registered nurse who provides lung screenings and pulmonary health education at the VNA. The free lung screenings, made possible by a grant from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Education, also help patients with chronic pulmonary conditions, such as COPD and asthma, manage their health. Anyone experiencing problems such as shortness of breath and persistent cough also should get their lungs screened. Although Barron does not diagnose conditions, she can refer patients to their doctor or an affordable health clinic for further tests and analysis. Asthma, a common lung disease, can develop in a person at any age. Although it cannot be cured, asthma can be managed with medication and devices such as inhalers. Barron, a certified asthma educator, makes sure patients know how to correctly use treatments and avoid triggers such as pollens. “If they are managed well, they can have a great life and healthy lifestyle,” Barron said.

Vaccine recommendations Protecting our lungs from dangerous infections is an important part of maintaining healthy lungs, especially for older individuals. Pneumonia, a lung ailment signaled by fever, chest pain, cough and chills, is the most common of infections known as pneumococcal disease. The family of

bacteria that cause pneumonia also cause meningitis — an infection of the brain covering — and other serious infections. Overall, pneumococcal disease, spread by droplets in the air, kills more people in the U.S. than all other vaccine-preventable diseases combined, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About 5 to 7 percent of people who contract pneumonia die from the infection, though the fatality rate may be much higher among the elderly. The pneumococcal vaccine protects against 23 types of bacteria including those that cause pneumonia and meningitis. Although it is not 100 percent effective, it significantly lowers the risk of pneumococcal disease in most recipients, according to the Immunization Action Coalition, which is dedicated to vaccination education. The CDC recommends adults 65 and older, including residents of long-term care facilities, receive the vaccine, as well as adults and children two and older who have chronic conditions such as diabetes, lung disease, heart disease, cirrhosis and alcoholism. The risk of pneumococcal disease also is higher among patients with illnesses that weaken immunity, such as HIV and AIDS, lymphoma, leukemia

and kidney failure. Last year, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices determined that smokers and people with asthma also are at a higher risk of pneumococcal disease and should receive the vaccine. It’s the first time a vaccine has been recommended for smokers, Poirot said. A person typically only needs to be vaccinated once, unless they are 65 or older, at which time they should receive another dose of the pneumococcal vaccine (as long as at least five years have passed since the last dose), according to CDC recommendations. Merck, which produces the vaccine, sponsors the VNA’s free pneumococcal vaccination program through its vaccine patient assistant program. Medicare and Medicaid part B also will cover the vaccine cost for eligible patients.

Elkhead School continued from 5 and their high standards.” The New Yorker has high standards of its own, Dunn noted. She and Leslie fielded calls about minutiae from factcheckers. Early last week, they measured the former bowling alley that served as Carpenter’s law office so the magazine could accurately describe it as “an eight-by-thirty-eight-foot leanto.” As a museum curator, Dunn said, she appreciates that concern for detail.

“When you go to print something out, even if it’s just for a walking tour … especially being a magazine, and especially being The New Yorker, people are going to take it as gospel truth,” Dunn said. That’s partly why they went over and over the distance between Hayden and Oak Creek, for example, finally deciding it was a 45-mile journey in 1916, she said. Wickenden built the story of her grandmother’s adventure into 10 densely packed pages. She told of how that short peri-

od toughened her grandmother and influenced the rest of her life. She told of how that short period affected a community and its members for decades. And, Dunn suggested, it could have influenced Wickenden. She might have ended up with some of that Woodruff toughness herself. “We were cross-country skiing and snowmobiling, and she was far more of a woman than I was,” Dunn said with a chuckle.

“I don’t know what they’re thinking, quite frankly, but we’ll just have to wait to see what they say,” Merrill said Friday. The commissioners received the letter from the sheriff’s attorneys Friday afternoon, Wall said Saturday, but officials so far have refused to release it. The commissioners are expected to discuss the matter at 11:30 a.m. today when they receive legal updates from Merrill. Citing case law, the commissioners told Wall in their own letter Friday that they “will not authorize payment of any legal or other bills related to this attempt.” The county attorney’s office usually provides legal services for all county departments. But Sheriff Gary Wall’s quarrels with the county commissioners led

them to advise Wall to seek his own legal counsel two years ago. The county attorney ultimately represents the Routt County Board of Commissioners. While researching whether to pay contested private law firm legal invoices submitted by the Sheriff’s Office last year, Sullivan said the county discovered case law supporting its decision not to pay for legal action against the commissioners. “When a sheriff or any elected official is planning a legal action against the board,” Sullivan said, “the board can refuse to pay any legal bills associated with that action.” Wall said it is “incredible” that the commissioners told him to find separate legal representation for the Sheriff’s Office and is now refusing to pay legal bills. “I find it interesting that we are making a legitimate legal challenge to what they’ve done, and the way they’ve responded to it is by saying they won’t pay our legal bills,” Wall said. “This potentially affects employees of all the elected officials. I’m prepared to form a legal fund that people can donate to, to pay legal fees for a lawyer to represent the employees of Routt County.”

It is unclear whether the dispute ultimately will result in any formal legal action. Wall said his letter ends by asking the commissioners if they agree with his position. If he is right, Wall said he would not voluntarily cut his department’s pay 10 percent to match the rest of the county. “I’m not going to cut my people’s salary if I don’t have to,” Wall said. “Why would I do that? … No other county in the state has done this.” The commissioners unanimously adopted the emergency countywide pay cut April 1 to help address a $4.9 million deficit in the 2009 budget. Wall said he thinks there were other ways to deal with the shortfall. Asked for specifics, Wall said, “I don’t know. I’m not the commissioners.” “I don’t want to get into a fight with the commissioners,” Wall said. “I’d rather not do it, but I’d rather them not have done what they did. … I said they were going to suck the loyalty out of these people, and that’s what they did. … Right now, I believe the right thing to do is make questions about this 10 percent cut.”

County to discuss furlough plan Routt County officials are scheduled this week to discuss a furlough plan for most county employees. At 4 p.m. Tuesday in the Routt County Courthouse, County Manager Tom Sullivan is slated to present county commissioners with documents from each county department, detailing how employees could achieve a 10 percent reduction in hours worked, given the 10 percent pay cut implemented by commissioners April 1. Most department managers suggest either four, nine-hour shifts per week, or employees taking alternate Fridays off in an effort to maintain service levels. Routt County Clerk and Recorder Kay Weinland suggested opening courthouse and courthouse annex offices, including the motor vehicle office, from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Sgt. Miles De Young of the Routt County Sheriff’s Office suggested patrol deputies work three, 10-hour shifts and a six-hour shift Wednesdays, which would be used as an “overlap day” for managing deputies’ hours. No document bearing the name of Sheriff Gary Wall was included in the furlough packet submitted to commissioners. Finance Director Dan Strnad said the accounting department does not plan to take on furloughs, instead remaining open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

COLORADO

Steven K. Paulson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

State Rep. Paul Weissmann remembers all too vividly the chaos that ensued the last time the Colorado Legislature tried to redraw congressional districts nearly a decade ago. Weissmann, a Democrat, was forcibly removed from the podium when he tried to speak out against a plan backed by majority Republicans. GOP lawmakers then suspended the rules of debate and rammed their plan through. Republican state Rep. Mike May also remembers those turbulent times, and he’s offering a solution. He wants to ask voters to change the way Colorado redraws congressional and legislative districts before the next go-round after the 2010 federal census. Under current law, an 11member commission — appointed by the governor, the chief justice of the state Supreme Court and legislative leaders — draws the boundaries for legislative districts, and the Legislature draws the boundaries for congressional districts. The process occurs every 10 years, using census data to make sure the districts have equal population. Under May’s plan, a single, five-member committee would do both. The Republican and Democratic parties would each select two committee members from a pool chosen by the judiciary. Those four would then select the fifth member, an unaf-

��

filiated voter from the judiciary’s pool. “We just need one group to do both jobs. What we don’t want is what happened 10 years ago,” said May, who was a freshman lawmaker during the last redistricting process and supported the Republican plan. He’s now the House minority leader. May is drafting the bill with help from the League of Women Voters, business groups and the public-policy lobbying group Colorado Common Cause. The last time around, the Democratic-controlled Senate and Republican-controlled house couldn’t agree on a new congressional map that included a new 7th District awarded by the 2000 census. In 2002, a Denver District Court judge drew his own congressional map, saying lawmakers failed to do their jobs. The next year, Republicans gained control of the Senate and rejected the judge’s map. They drew their own, saying the state constitution gave the responsibility to the Legislature. Republicans contended the new 7th District should be located where most of the population growth had occurred, in Republican-rich Douglas County, instead of the district drawn by the judge that moved it north of Denver, where Democrats had a chance to win. Then-Attorney General Ken Salazar, a Democrat, asked the state Supreme Court to decide whether lawmakers had the authority to redraw congres-

sional districts after they were drawn by a judge. The high court upheld the district judge’s plan. A divided U.S. Supreme Court refused to consider an appeal, so the judge’s plan is still in place. The process worked no better for redrawing state legislative districts. In 2002, the state Supreme Court rejected legislative districts drawn by the Reapportionment Commission after Republicans challenged the plan as unfair. The court ordered the maps redrawn, ruling the commission failed to comply with a state law that prohibits districts from dividing counties and cities. Political consultant Floyd Ciruli said it’s impossible to remove politics from the decision-making, even though it’s not one of the factors considered by the courts. He said Democrats have no reason to agree to change the system now that they have control. Christine Watson, staff lobbyist for the League of Women Voters of Colorado, said a bipartisan committee would help reduce the partisanship and political gamesmanship that dominated the process and force them to focus on more of the issues important to voters. Weissmann, now the House majority leader, said the issue should be debated next year, when lawmakers will have more time and can still get the question before voters on the 2010 ballot.

Kidnapped US captain freed by Navy Todd Pitman and Lara Jakes THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NAIROBI, KENYA

Navy SEAL snipers on the fantail of a destroyer cut down three Somali pirates in a lifeboat and rescued an American sea captain on Easter Sunday. The surprise nighttime assault in choppy seas ended a fiveday standoff between a team of rogue gunmen and the world’s most powerful military. It was a stunning conclusion to an Indian Ocean odyssey that began when 53-year-old freighter Capt. Richard Phillips was taken hostage Wednesday by pirates who tried to hijack the

U.S.-flagged Maersk Alabama. The Vermont native was held on a tiny lifeboat that began drifting precariously toward Somalia’s anarchic, gun-plagued shores. The operation, personally approved by President Barack Obama, quashed fears the saga could drag on for months and marked a victory for the U.S., which for days seemed powerless to resolve the crisis despite massing helicopter-equipped warships at the scene. Negotiations with the three pirates were growing heated, Vice Adm. Bill Gortney said. One of them pointed an AK47 at the back of Phillips, who was tied up and in “imminent danger” of being killed when the commander of the nearby USS Bainbridge made the splitsecond decision to order his men to shoot, Gortney said. Navy snipers took aim at the pirates’ heads and shoulders, he said. The lifeboat was about 25 to 30 yards away and was being towed by the Bainbridge at the time, he said. The pirates had agreed to the tow to move the powerless lifeboat out of rough water. A fourth pirate surrendered after boarding the Bainbridge earlier in the day and could face

life in a U.S. prison. He had been seeking medical attention for a wound to his hand and was negotiating with U.S. officials on conditions for Phillips’ release, military officials said. The rescue was a dramatic blow to the pirates who have preyed on international shipping and hold more than a dozen ships with about 230 foreign sailors. But it is unlikely to

��

do much to quell the region’s growing pirate threat, which has transformed one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes into one of its most dangerous. It also risked provoking retaliatory attacks. “This could escalate violence in this part of the world, no question about it,” said Gortney, the commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command.

Caress still smiling

ndy Caress always has had an unquenchable thirst and love for everything that surrounds life. Most friends you talk to can’t remember Caress not smiling. So even as the Steamboat Springs tennis pro and former Coastal Carolina tennis star treks through the toughest part of his 23 years on this Earth, he’s still smiling. Caress was diagnosed with an extreme case of skin cancer in early November. Always active, always funny and always looking for something to do, Caress wasn’t sure how to take it. There were times he could have asked, “Why me? Why, at 23 years old, would someone like me get a cancer that affects more than 50,000 people a year?” “But the crazy part is it really hasn’t changed him,” said fellow tennis pro Marie Matrka, who played and lived with Caress at Coastal Carolina. “His humor is actually the same. He’s totally himself. It’s the same old Andy. He’s happy and funny and always making jokes.” But it has been quite the battle for Caress, a battle most people would look at as one setback after another. Caress originally was diagnosed with melanoma in early November. He had surgeries in November and December to remove more than 60 lymph nodes from his neck, throat and shoulder area. Caress started feeling good, started talking about what was next on his list of things to do. There was a trip to Costa Rica planned. A raft trip to the Grand Canyon. He wanted to win the Colorado State Open Tennis tournament. He also was planning to do a triathlon in Boulder and the Steamboat Marathon. He was in the airport on See Graham, page 22

Angel Cabrera celebrates after sinking a putt to force a second playoff with Kenny Perry during the final round of the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga., on Sunday. Cabrera won the Masters, shooting a 71 on his final round and winning a two-hole playoff against Kenny Perry and Chad Campbell.

Mickelson, Woods put on show as excitement returns to Augusta National Doug Ferguson

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUGUSTA, GA.

The cheers came from every corner of Augusta National, the kind of mayhem that had been missing at the Masters. The last one was for Angel Cabrera, a most unlikely champion. He heard the roars for Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods, a supercharged duel that was

pure theater. Cabrera never lost hope when a roar rattled the pines after Kenny Perry got within inches of an ace on the 16th hole to build a two-shot lead with two holes to play. This is how it’s supposed to be Sunday at Augusta National. And it was. “It’s a course that you can do a lot of birdies, a lot of bogeys,” Cabrera said through an interpreter. “A lot of magi-

cal things happen. It’s simply the Masters.” And the most magical thing of all happened just as the sun began to set. Perry, a 48-year-old on the verge of becoming golf’s oldest champion, had gone 22 consecutive holes without a bogey until he dropped shots on each of the last two holes for a 71 to force a three-man playoff that included Chad Campbell. Cabrera, who also shot 71,

looked like the odd man out when his tee shot on the first playoff hole landed behind a Georgia pine, and his 4-iron struck another one. But he managed to scratch out a par with a sand wedge to 8 feet and a pressure-packed putt. When luck turned against Perry on the second extra hole — a splotch of mud on his ball in the fairway that led to See Masters, page 23

Matt Stairs showed why he’s made a living as a pinch hitter. Stairs hit a tiebreaking tworun homer in the ninth inning and the Philadelphia Phillies rallied to beat the Colorado Rockies, 7-5, on Sunday. “That’s a tough job to do, and SUNDAY’S he does it pretty GAME: good,” Phillies Rockies 5 manager Charlie Phillies 7 Manuel said. “Hitting a pinchhit home run is pretty hard, especially when they know what kind of hitter he is. Chase Utley tied it at 5 with a two-run homer in the eighth and Ryan Howard had three hits for the Phillies, who won the last two of the three-game series. Utley went 2-for-3 and scored three times. It was the second time this season the Phillies rallied to win a game late. They overcame a 10-3 deficit to beat Atlanta, 1211, on Wednesday. Ryan Madson (1-0) worked a scoreless eighth and Brad Lidge,

Medals continued from 21 in the boarder and skier events. Along with Matt Larsen’s second place and Penn Lukens, Nik Baden and Ben Paley’s third-place performances, the boarder and skier cross competitors accounted for many of the team’s top finishes. “The SSWSC skier cross program started this year as a one day a week add-on program for some kids interested in giving the sport a try,” Casson said.

“Based on our results this year, we’re definitely doing something right and hope to expand the program in 2009-2010. “Who knows? Maybe there’s a 2014 Olympian lurking out there.” Darren Ratcliffe won his division of the men’s giant slalom. Mike Trapp won his slalom race and was third in the giant slalom. Skier Connor Garrecht-Connelly won the halfpipe. Mimi Wienke won the slalom and

picked up a silver in the giant slalom, and Mack Joyce won his giant slalom event and was third in the slalom. Baden, meanwhile, had two silvers to go along with his Boarder Cross third-place finish.

the last of six Philadelphia pitchers, finished for his second save. Dexter Fowler led off the second inning with his second homer to give Colorado a 5-1 lead. But Jayson Werth singled in Utley in the fourth and sixth, and the All-Star second baseman tied it with his first homer of the season in the eighth. Pedro Feliz hit a leadoff double in the ninth against Huston Street (0-1). Feliz was sacrificed to third before Stairs, batting for Madson, went deep for his first of the season and 15th career pinch-hit drive. “It’s the same approach as in batting practice,” Stairs said. “I try to hit every ball as far as I can.” Street said he tried to throw the pitch inside but it ran back over the plate. “I didn’t leave it up, it was down. When the pitch is down you’re never really afraid, but he’s a good fastball hitter,” Street said. “When you don’t hit the glove, bad things happen.” Colorado put two men on in the ninth, but Lidge got Troy

Tulowitzki to ground out to second to end the game. “Once you get to two strikes, it’s tough with that slider that he has,” Tulowitzki said. “There’s a reason why he didn’t blow one last year.” The Rockies were limited to four hits by three Philadelphia pitchers in an 8-4 loss Saturday. They reached that total in their first five at-bats Sunday. Brad Hawpe hit an RBI double and scored on Garrett Atkins’ single. Clint Barmes added a two-run single to make it 4-0 in the first inning. Chan Ho Park, who entered with a 5-2 career record at Coors Field, gave up five runs and seven hits in 3 1-3 innings for the Phillies. But the bullpen held the Rockies to two hits the rest of the way. “We keep the team close and we know the hitters will score runs,” Madson said. “We got a chance to show what the bullpen can do.” Philadelphia got one back in the second. Howard led off with a double and scored when Raul Ibanez’s line drive up the middle hit pitcher Aaron Cook and rolled into shallow left field.

his way back to Steamboat — thinking of all these things, probably with a smile on his face — when he got the call from his doctors. They wanted to do more tests. Doctors discovered a tumor on the back of his neck and enlarged lymph nodes on the side of his neck. And that’s the thing about melanoma or cancer. It’s not biased. It doesn’t see black or white, brown or yellow, young or old. But Caress — like he’s done most of his life — served up a new outlook. He’s still going to try to do all those things while beating cancer. It’s not a setback or a roadblock to Caress; it’s just another thing he has to do to enjoy life.

So in late February, he started doing hyper-aggressive chemotherapy in Houston. The regimen is one week in the hospital and two weeks of recovery. When he’s in the hospital, he spends all day in the intensive care unit doing treatment. Matrka said while he’s there, he’s still been known to crack jokes and inspire others. On his weeks off, he visits the places he loves. He’s been to Denver, Steamboat and his hometown of Cincinnati. Each time, it’s hard for people to tell he’s even been diagnosed. “I think most people don’t know when he’s here. He’s almost himself,” Matrka said. “He’s active. He’s been skiing a couple days. He always wants to hike and work out.”

It’s not hard to see Caress has been able to make friends wherever he’s been. So it’s not surprising to see his friends are returning the favor and putting on a benefit for him April 18 and 19 at the Tennis Center at Steamboat Springs. It’s a Balls for Caress Dodgeball tournament complete with prizes and, of course, dodgeball, something Caress brought to the Tennis Center last year. For more information, to donate or to sign up for the tournament, contact Anthony Miriani at 248-770-4351 or email miriani3@msu.edu.

it.

The thing is, he almost made

Improbable as Kenny Perry’s story was, it almost had the sweetest ending you could come up with. A golfer doesn’t scuffle when he’s young just to make the tour, struggle to hold his place throughout the middle of his Litke career and then, at an age when most pros begin mapping out plans for the senior circuit, suddenly discover there’s magic in those thick, calloused hands. Perry did. And for the better part of Sunday afternoon and on into early evening at the Masters, he was using it to weave himself a green jacket. Then, in the span of four holes, it all came apart. “You know, it was a good day,” Perry said moments after losing to Angel Cabrera on the second playoff hole, “I played great all the way through 16. I did OK on 17 and 18. It wasn’t like I hit lousy shots. And I had a putt to win. “I had that putt on 18 (to win in regulation) that I’ve seen Tiger make. I’ve seen so many people make that putt. I knew exactly

COMMENTARY what it was. That was probably the most disappointing putt of the day because I hit it too easy. “I mean,” Perry paused, “how many chances do you have to win the Masters?” The thing is, he never expected to get that far. “He was going to be a golfer from the time he was young,” his father Ken recalled in a phone interview Sunday afternoon. “He used to hit balls for hours at a time when he was six and seven. I’d tee up all the golf balls we had, then he’d hit ’em and we’d get ’em all, and I’d tee ’em up again and he’d hit every one. Over and over. “When he was 12, he won the second flight at Franklin Country Club. Beat a man that was 50 years old, and the fellow told me, ‘I never seen a boy that could hit a golf ball like that. He’s going to be on the PGA Tour someday,”’ he said. Then Ken paused. “Uh-oh,” he said, “looks like Kenny is fixing to make a bogey here.” That was at 17. Perry was 14-under, ahead by two strokes, and he hadn’t made a bogey in his last 42 holes. He was playing alongside Cabrera in the final group, but Perry can’t see far enough to keep tab on all of his competitors, so he often relies on

his longtime pal and caddie, Fred Sanders, to provide updates. Everything was going smoothly until Perry developed a case of the “lefts.” He started pulling irons, then his driver in that direction. Campbell fell out of the three-way playoff at the first extra hole, but when Cabrera completed a scrambling par to force a second, he walked off the green to see Perry leading the applause. “I’m not going to feel sorry,” Perry said. “I’ve said if this is the worst thing that happens to me, I can live with it. I really can. “Great players get it done, and Angel got it done. This is the second major he won. I’ve blown two, but that’s the only two I’ve had chances of winning.” Earlier in the week, when he was rolling and everything was falling his way, Perry tried to explain what it was like to find out at age 48 that he could play — really play. He talked about not being tough enough for Augusta before this, or having the short game to compete. “I’m not going to hang my head from this deal. I fought hard out there. I was nervous. I was proud of the way I hung in there. “You know what?” he added. “I may never get this opportunity again, but ... I know how the momentum and how it swings here and there, and if they execute and beat you, I’m going to shake the man’s hand.”

Cabrera is 1st Argentine to win Masters Masters continued from 21 a bogey — Cabrera made a routine par to become the first Argentine in a green jacket. At No. 69 in the world, he became the lowest-ranked player to win the Masters since the world ranking began in 1986. “This is a great moment, the dream of any golfer to win the Masters,” Cabrera said during the green jacket ceremony. “I’m so emotional, I can barely talk.” Ditto for the 30,000 fans who witnessed this stunning show. “I think I lost my hearing on a few holes, they were screaming so loud,” Perry said. He also lost the tournament. Perry bladed a chip across the 17th green for one bogey, then hit into a bunker on the 18th hole and narrowly missed a 15-foot par putt that would have brought him the major championship he covets. But he was gracious as ever, clapping for Cabrera when he holed an 8-foot putt for his unlikely par to stay in the playoff. And even in defeat, it was hard not to appreciate the give-and-take nature that was

restored at the Masters. “I may never get this opportunity ever again, but I had a lot of fun being in there,” Perry said. “I had the tournament to win. I lost the tournament. But Angel hung in there. I was proud of him.” Two years after winning the U.S. Open at Oakmont, Cabrera became the sixth player this decade to win multiple majors. And he finally gave Argentines some happy memories of the Masters. It was 41 years ago when

Roberto de Vicenzo made one of golf’s most famous gaffes, signing for the wrong score that denied him a spot in a Masters playoff. When Cabrera returned home as the U.S. Open champion two years ago, de Vicenzo gave him a special gift. “He gave me a frame where he has in his hand a green jacket, and he says, ‘I hope this gives you luck, so someday you can bring back a green jacket for yourself,”’ Cabrera said.

CINCINNATI

Aaron Harang threw a threehitter, Brandon Phillips hit a two-run homer and Cincinnati overcame a triple play by Pittsburgh to get the victory. Harang (1-1) faced just three batters over the minimum while pitching his sixth shutout and 12th complete game. The righthander threw 108 pitches, 80 for strikes. It was the first complete-game shutout of the year in the majors.

��

Josh Johnson’s dominant outing was just enough to beat Johan Santana. Johnson pitched a five-hitter for his second complete game in 45 career starts and the Florida Marlins scored two unearned runs to edge Santana and the Mets 2-1 Sunday, handing the New York ace his first loss since June 28. Although Johnson retired 15 batters in a row, Santana was just as good. The left-hander struck out 13 in seven innings, allowing only three hits. But left fielder Daniel Murphy dropped a two-out flyball in the second for an error that led to both Florida runs.

Chris Young pitched seven strong innings to beat Tim Lincecum, and Nick Hundley had a career-high four hits for the Padres. Young (2-0) allowed an unearned run and four hits. The right-hander, who retired the first 12 batters, struck out seven and did not walk a batter.

Randy Wolf tossed two-hit ball into the eighth inning, outpitching Dan Haren to lead the Dodgers to the victory.

ST. LOUIS

Kyle Lohse threw a careerbest three-hitter, retiring 24 in a row after giving up a single on his first pitch, and St. Louis completed a three-game sweep. Khalil Greene had three hits and an RBI, and Ryan Ludwick extended his hitting streak to 16 games with an RBI single for the Cardinals, who went 5-2 on their opening homestand and limited the opposition to two or fewer runs in three of the last four.

Braves 8, Nationals 5 ATLANTA

Chipper Jones drove in two runs, including a tiebreaking single, and Atlanta handed Washington its sixth straight loss to start the season. Jair Jurrjens (2-0) gave up five hits and walked five in 5 13 innings but allowed only four runs, three earned, to help the Braves sweep the three-game series and improve to 5-1.

Cubs 8, Brewers 5 MILWAUKEE

Alfonso Soriano smacked the first pitch of the game off the facade in center field for a leadoff home run, and things just got worse from there for Milwaukee Brewers starter Jeff Suppan in Chicago’s victory. The Cubs took two of three games from their NL Central rivals — and didn’t even break a sweat as they retook the lead Sunday, as Milwaukee pitchers walked home four runs in a miserable fourth inning.

Cardinals 3, Astros 0

Wolf (1-1) helped Los Angeles take two of three in an early season series between teams expected to contend in the National League West. The left-hander allowed one run, struck out five and walked two in seven-plus innings.

Bobby Abreu hit a go-ahead two-run single, and Vladimir Guerrero hit his first home run of the season, leading the Los Angeles Angels to a testy 5-4 victory against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. Dustin Moseley (1-0) was charged with three runs and six hits in 5 2/3 innings, striking out three in the finale of a tragic and somber season-opening homestand for the two-time defending American League West champions. Brian Fuentes got three outs for his second save. Josh Beckett (1-1) allowed four runs and eight hits in six innings for Boston. There was tension from the start between the two American League heavyweights. The benches cleared in the first inning after the Angels took exception when Beckett threw a pitch over Abreu’s head just as time was being called by plate umpire Paul Schreiber.

White Sox 6, Twins 1 CHICAGO

Jim Thome hit a two-run homer to break open a pitcher’s duel, and Mark Buehrle was dominant into the seventh

inning, leading the White Sox to the victory. Carlos Quentin singled off Nick Blackburn in the sixth before Thome hit his second homer of the season, snapping a 1-1 tie.

Indians 8, Blue Jays 4 CLEVELAND

Anthony Reyes pitched six innings and the Indians earned their first victory of the season. Travis Hafner and Mark DeRosa each hit a two-run homer for the Indians, who avoided their worst start in 95 years. Cleveland lost its first six games in 1914.

Rays 11, Orioles 3 BALTIMORE

James Shields pitched seven innings of three-hit ball, Evan Longoria hit his major leagueleading fifth home run and Tampa Bay averted a threegame sweep. Longoria went 3-for-5 to up his batting average to .481.

Mariners 1, Athletics 0 OAKLAND, CALIF.

Erik Bedard allowed three hits pitching into the ninth

inning and Mike Sweeney doubled in a run in the seventh for Seattle. Bedard (1-0) was within two outs of his second career shutout when he was lifted for David Aardsma, who struck out Jason Giambi and got Jack Cust to line out with a pair of runners aboard for his second save.

Royals 6, Yankees 4 KANSAS CITY, MO.

John Buck homered and drove in three runs, helping Kansas City rally to avoid a three-game sweep. The Royals scored three runs with two outs in the eighth inning off Jose Veras and Phil Coke (0-1), spoiling a solid start by Joba Chamberlain in his season debut.

Tigers 6, Rangers 4 DETROIT

Brandon Inge homered and hit a two-run single in a six-run eighth inning as the Tigers rallied to complete a three-game sweep. Carlos Guillen also had a two-run double for Detroit, which trailed 4-0 after seven innings. Placido Polanco went 3-for-4 with an RBI and Miguel Cabrera had two hits.
