‘Let’s be careful out there’
In bloom

uring the first several seasons, the opening scene of every weekly episode of “Hill Street Blues” — a popular 1980s TV police drama – invariably centered on Sgt. Phil Esterhaus conducting roll call. Esterhaus, played by the late Michael Conrad, The View always confrom Here cluded roll ROB DOUGLAS call with the same command to his police officers before they hit the streets: “Let’s be careful out there.” As we kick off Memorial Day weekend — with a segment of our summer visitors preparing to cross Rabbit Ears Pass in the coming months to join local bikers who ride the roads of Bike Town USA — those words should come to mind every time we climb behind the wheel or clip into pedals. Realistically, given the too-frequent clashes between motor vehicle drivers and road biking enthusiasts, that sage reminder could save a life. As existing summer tourism is augmented by bicycle tourism here in the ’Boat, common sense dictates that the growing number of drivers and cyclists on our roads will increase the risk of potentially deadly accidents. For that reason, Steamboat must encourage a culture where drivers and riders respect one another on the roads we share. See Douglas, page 2

Steamboat Springs residents Bryan and Julie Alkema ride their bikes past flowers on the Yampa River Core Trail on Thursday afternoon.

Rivers regroup for last push Elk flow has peaked but Yampa refuses to give up Tom Ross
Memorial Day Weekend will turn up the late spring heat in Steamboat Springs with temperatures in the high 70s, and area rivers will respond with rebounding flows. However, the Elk River just above the confluence with the Yampa River east of Milner has peaked for the season, and it’s probable the Yampa River has also peaked where it flows beneath the Fifth Street
Bridge in downtown Steamboat. “The Elk, I think, has definitely peaked,” hydrologist Ashley Nielson said Thursday afternoon. The Yampa at “Steamboat looks to have a better chance to return to last week’s flows. There’s still high-elevation snow around, but probably not enough to get to the levels of last week. I think the flows will stay sustained for the next week or two.” Nielson works for the Colorado Basin River Forecast Center in Salt Lake City, where she used computer models to gen-

erate 10-day forecasts of future streamflows. The Yampa was flowing at 1,770 cubic feet per second in Steamboat late Thursday afternoon, down from the apparent peak of 2,610 cfs on May 18. The River Forecast Center expects the warm weekend to boost the Yampa just past the 2,500 cfs threshold today, Saturday and Sunday, so a new peak is a possibility. The Elk is another story. It was flowing at 1,479 cfs Thursday afternoon dropping all the
way from a peak of 3,580 cfs on June 17. It too should climb above 2,500 cfs during the next three days, but is not expected to come close to exceeding 3,000 cfs. The National Weather Service expects sunny skies in Steamboat all the way through Sunday with a high of 81 degrees today followed by 78 and 77 on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.

And it’s the sharing part we must focus on if we’re all going to safely coexist on roads that leave little room for error. My column last week about Michel Van Duym — a bicyclist who was hit and killed in Lyons by an SUV driven by Patrick Ward, a resident of Lyons who was strident in his opinions that cyclists don’t belong on the roads of his town — garnered illuminating comments as it circulated nationally on Twitter and Facebook. It won’t come as a shock to road bikers who’ve had confrontations with motor vehicle drivers that several individuals wrote comments indicating they think roads are the exclusive domain of motorists. Evidently, like male dogs and fire hydrants, some drivers think roads are their marked territory. Here’s what one person wrote after correctly calling Ward a name not suitable for print for driving under the influence of alcohol when he hit Van Duym. “However, living in a place that is full of roadies that ride
on roads they have no business on I can understand where [Ward’s] statements come from … No vehicle that is not capable of achieving the posted speed limit belongs on some roads. For instance, my mother-in-law lives off a road that is quite often full of bicyclists who frankly do not belong. The road is very twisty and hilly, the speed limit is relatively slow, 45 mph. However, I have seen a large number of near accidents when a driver, who is not breaking the speed limit, comes around a turn and has to slam on the brakes because someone on a bike is slowed way down as they climb the hill. There is no bicycle lane or shoulder on this road. That bicycle has no business on that road. If a driver were to hit and kill that bicyclist it would be a tragic accident and the person on the bicycle would be more at fault than the driver in my opinion.” Think about the roads this individual describes. They are the majority of roads in America — especially in rural America where millions of cyclists ride every day.
But let’s be clear, the quoted opinion — while common when you read blog posts across the country — is incorrect and demonstrates a complete misunderstanding of the legal responsibility drivers have to control their vehicle under all road conditions. Bicyclists can ride America’s rural roads — no matter the speed limit — as long as they follow traffic laws that apply to cyclists. Most important, drivers are legally obligated to drive at speeds that enable them to stop their vehicle within the distance they can see down the road at any given moment. While smart and courteous bikers will avoid circumstances that endanger themselves and others, drivers have the responsibility to be able to stop on “twisty and hilly” roads in time to avoid hitting the bikers, horseback riders, livestock, and farm equipment operators who also use America’s rural roads. So let’s be careful out there as we enjoy another spectacular summer in the Yampa Valley. To reach Rob Douglas, email rdouglas@SteamboatToday.com.
Warm weather could support stream flows Rivers continued from 1 where snow is still much in evidence, will reach the lows 60s this weekend, and will remain in the 40s overnight. Nielson said she cannot look as far into the future as July 4 in Steamboat Springs to venture how much water might be flowing in the Yampa as summer sets in. But she said that after last
summer’s drought, a period of consistent warmth in June might actually benefit streamflows more than the alternating cycle of mild and cold weather the valley saw through most of May. The drought of 2012 depleted soil moisture in Northwest Colorado, and Nielson said that measurement is taken into account in her forecast models for streamflow. “Soil moisture is a factor. It
can determine how efficient a runoff you get,” Nielson said. “A warm spell could help saturate the soil increasing the efficiency of runoff.” So, consistently warm weather over the next couple of weeks could support streamflows in the medium term. “It will depend on what the weather does for the next four to six weeks,” Nielson said.

Laurel Street Preschool remains closed, but new board members elected Thursday night hope it’s only temporary. The sudden closure Wednesday of the oldest preschool in Steamboat Springs left parents infuriated, saddened, crying and talking over one another during Thursday’s meeting at the school. “Let’s all just finish asking our questions and raise hands like our children should do,” one parent said as tempers rose. The frustration and emotions were perhaps understandable. “People have an emotional attachment to their school,” Jennifer Holdeman said. “They’re dropping their children off there. It’s an extension of their family. That’s a hard thing to see come apart.” Holdeman was one of the board members who voted for the school’s closure Monday and stepped down Thursday. She has never had children at the school and joined the board because she wanted to give back to the community. While the former board members voted to close the school starting Wednesday, they said they hope it’s not permanent. Parents weren’t told about the closure until Tuesday afternoon. Board members told Laurel Street Preschool families Thursday that they chose to shut down the school because they were concerned for the safety of the 30 or so children who were enrolled. On May 17, the board was informed that a state daycare licensing inspector had visited the school. Numerous violations were cited in the resulting 12-page report. The inspection was done by Sharon Kelley on behalf of the
Colorado Department of Human Services’ Division of Child Care. Kelley attended the meeting Thursday. She told the parents she conducted the inspection about two weeks after the school’s new director had time to settle into her new role. “I do feel like these things need to be addressed,” Kelley said, adding that her department will do whatever it can to help the school remain open. The school had 30 days to fix the violations detailed in the report, but the board decided some of the fixes were not simple and would cost money the school doesn’t have. The board members also said the school couldn’t pay staff while the facility was temporarily closed. Among the violations in the report were instances of more children in a room than it could legally hold and a lack of documentation for staff training and certifications. The report also stated children were not being directly supervised at all times. “You’re talking about children being left alone in a room,” Holdeman said to the parents. “That’s not something a parent can come in and fix.” That concern about safety was echoed by Mike Kimmes, the parent of a Laurel Street Preschool student and one of the board members who voted for the closure before stepping down from that role Thursday. “I couldn’t look any of you in the eye when you dropped your kids off and say, ‘Your kid is 100 percent safe,’” Kimmes said. The board members acknowledged they were concerned about being held personally liable for any incidents or financial troubles the school could face if it did not close. Aside from making sure the
students were safe, the board members also said they wanted to ensure the school was in a position to compensate the staff members what they are currently owed. As for whether parents will get refunds for the remainder of the May tuition they paid, the board members said that will depend on outstanding bills and the collection of tuition the school is still owed by some families. Moving forward, parents were told an additional staff member to address issues surrounding the supervision of children would cost the school $60,000 to $70,000. That cost would have to be passed down to parents, which works out to about $2,000 more per student per year. The former board members, who described the recent months as hard and exhausting, are hopeful the new board will be able to reopen the school. The new board will have access to confidential information the previous board had access to in the course of its decision making. “I’m hopeful the school stays open,” Kimmes said. “It’s such a longtime community tradition.”

On press freedoms, Obama races Nixon Clarence Page
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
Despite what you may hear from some of his more fevered critics, President Barack Obama’s recent scandal-quakes don’t appear to fall anywhere near the level of Richard Nixon’s Watergate disaster. But by another Nixonian yardstick, trying to put a muzzle on press freedoms, Team Obama appears to have surged into the lead. I’m talking about the Obama Justice DepartPage ment’s pursuit of leakers, the same mission that gave Nixon’s infamous team of Watergate “plumbers” their nickname. Plugging up leaks has returned as the alleged mission of the current Justice Department’s secret snooping into phone records of journalists at Fox News and The Associated Press. The Washington Post reported Monday that federal investigators secretly obtained Fox News’ chief Washington correspondent James Rosen’s personal emails and phone records. They also tracked his visits to the State Depart-
ment. The probe followed a Rosen story about a CIA analysis of North Korea’s possible response to sanctions. The leak was traced back to State Department worker Stephen Jin-Woo Kim, a North Korean specialist who now faces charges under the 1917 Espionage Act, a law that was intended to punish those who gave aid to our enemies. A week earlier, the Associated Press reported that the Justice Department secretly had obtained more than two months of phone records for more than 20 telephone lines of its offices and journalists, including their home phones and cellphones, earlier this year. So much for the promise on President Obama’s transition website to strengthen “whistle-blower laws to protect federal workers.” Since then, his administration has been more likely than any of its predecessors to try to silence and prosecute federal workers. The Espionage Act was used only three times to bring cases against government officials accused of leaking classified information to the media before President Obama took office. It has since been used six times. So far. No one should be surprised, says
attorney James Goodale, since Obama has relentlessly pursued leakers ever since he became president. “He is fast becoming,” Goodale writes in the Daily Beast website, “the worst national security press president ever, and it may not get any better.” Worse than Nixon? Goodale ought to know. He was the general counsel for The New York Times in their 1971 Pentagon Papers case in which the Nixon administration prosecuted the Times under the Espionage Act. The Supreme Court fortunately sided with the Times. Forty-two years later, Goodale has written a new book, “Fighting for the Press: The Inside Story of the Pentagon Papers and Other Battles,” just in time for a new wave of leak-plugging questions in the post-Sept. 11 era. Full disclosure: Goodale and I also happen to be members of the board of directors of the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists. The board has sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder, joining other press freedom organizations in voicing our objections to “unnecessary government intrusion” See Page, page 9
The president’s Morehouse address Cal Thomas
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
President Barack Obama gave two commencement addresses in one to graduates of Morehouse College in Atlanta, Ga., last weekend. It would be easy for this conservative to critique the political and social elements of his speech. Instead, I choose to focus on the inspirational part. The president struck the right note at the historically all-male college. AfricanAmerican men in America Thomas need more role models and encouragement to counter the reality, reinforced by much of the media, of too much failure, crime, imprisonment, outof-wedlock births, a disproportionate abortion rate and other social maladies affecting many in the black community. The president underscored values any conservative could embrace when he spoke of the college’s objective of producing “good men, strong men, upright men” who will “better themselves so they could help others do the same.” He added, “In troubled neighborhoods all across this country — many of them heavily African American — too few of our citizens have role models to guide them.” They do, but too often they are the wrong role models. Only an African-American man
could say what the president said to these young African-American men. In this, he repeated what comedian Bill Cosby has been saying for years about personal responsibility and accountability, while taking heat from some in the black community. The president challenged the graduates to think beyond what their degree could do for them: “It betrays a poverty of ambition if all you think about is what goods you can buy instead of what good you can do.” Given the size of government and, especially, welfare programs, the president’s statement “nobody is going to give you anything that you have not earned” rings a little hollow, but the ideal he stressed is worthy of praise. The president spoke of previous generations who overcame hardships worse than theirs: “And if they overcame them, you can overcome them, too.” In the most poignant moment in the speech, the president said he wished he “had had a father who was not only present, but involved.” In too many African-American homes, there is neither. He said because he didn’t know his father he has tried to be a good husband and father to his wife and daughters. “I want to break that cycle where a father is not at home — where a father is not helping to raise that son or daughter. I want to be a better father, a better husband, a better man.” As a husband and father he
is an excellent role model. This is the message that needs to be delivered not only in the African-American community, but in all communities. Inspiration, followed by motivation, followed by perspiration can improve any life, while entitlement, envy and greed can only diminish it. The president asked — no, he commanded — the Morehouse graduates to “be a good role model, set a good example for that young brother coming up. If you know somebody who’s not on point, go back and bring that brother along — those who’ve been left behind, who haven’t had the same opportunities we have. ... You’ve got to be engaged in the barbershops, on the basketball court, at church, spend time and energy to give people opportunities and a chance. Pull them up, expose them, support their dreams. Don’t put them down.” Beyond the rhetoric, the president acts as if these ideals can best be advanced by government, but even he seemed to acknowledge there is something more powerful than what happens in Washington. It is what happens inside an individual. The values the president stressed are, or once were considered to be, American values. They are needed most not only where people live in poverty but among those who suffer from a poverty of spirit.

Something has changed Page continued from 8 in the work of journalists. Future efforts to obtain phone records or other information essential to newsgathering, the letter asks, “should be communicated to the news organization in advance so that the action can be challenged in court as justice demands.” That’s been standard practice in the past under Justice Department guidelines. But something has changed in this administration. Goodale suspects it had something to do with the bracing briefings Obama received shortly after his election in 2008, according to Bob Woodward’s book “Obama’s War.” “Also,” Goodale said, “to gain the respect of his colleagues, it helps to News
News
be tough on national security.” Besides, it’s probably not going to hurt Obama much politically. Hating leaks and the media are a bipartisan pastime for politicians, especially presidents. The AP seizures, for example, came after outraged Republican lawmakers demanded action to find the leakers of a foiled plot by alQaida’s affiliate in Yemen. Republicans suspected the leaks may have come from somewhere close to the Oval Office, since it revealed a counterterrorism success that the Obama administration was not at all unhappy to let the public know about. That would not be surprising. But sometimes the public needs to know what the government is not happy to let you know about. News

6,200 visitors expected to be in town this weekend About 6,200 visitors are expected to be in town Saturday for the holiday weekend, according to the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association’s lodging barometer. The figure represents 42 percent capacity at area loding properties, with downtown showing the highest occupancy at 78 percent. On the mountain, hotels are expected to be 63 percent full and condos are forecast to be 20 percent full. During the Memorial Day weekend last year, 5,800 visitors were expected to arrive, but 7,400 actually spent the night in Steamboat on the corresponding Saturday, according to the report. The Chamber’s lodging barometer is based on survey data from local lodging properties. Its primary function is to help businesses determine staffing levels during the winter and summer tourism seasons. Actual lodging occupancy levels tend to increase from the forecast levels as a result of lastminute bookings.

The versions are more similar than they are different, giving farmers and ranchers hope that a comprehensive farm bill indeed will get passed before the Sept. 30 deadline, which is when the current farm bill is set to expire. “This provides a great reason for optimism that we will have a new long-term farm bill this year. With the implementation of a new farm bill, farmers and ranchers will be given certainty about the rules and regulations they must follow,” Colorado Farm Bureau President Don Shawcroft said. The Senate passed Tuesday its version — the Agriculture Reform, Food and Jobs Act of 2013 — by a 15-5 vote. This version saves $23 billion, eliminates direct payments to farmers, and requires conservation compliance for crop insurance, which will protect the farm safety net and the natural resources that our nation’s farmers and ranchers utilize. This version also would strengthen crop insurance and expand access to farmers. The bill consolidates 23 existing conservation programs into 13 while maintaining existing tools to protect and conserve land, water and wildlife. The House passed Wednesday its version — called the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013 — by a 36-10 vote. This version would save nearly $40 billion in mandatory funds, including the immediate sequestration of $6 billion. It
also repeals or consolidates more than 100 programs. The House version, like the Senate’s, also would eliminate direct payments. It also streamlines and reforms commodity policy while giving producers a choice in how best to manage risk and includes the first reforms to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program since the Welfare Reform Act of 1996, saving more than $20 billion. Both versions left the sugar program as is, with price support and restrictions on imports. The House version restores the insurance programs for livestock producers, which comes as a relief to many producers. This provision, which expired in 2001, left many ranchers without any form of disaster coverage as they have battled the most severe drought the U.S. has seen in 50 years. “The restoration of these programs will greatly help Colorado’s ranchers as we continue to struggle with drought and the possibility of selling out,” Shawcroft said. Both bills provide a solid start for a farm bill that serves America’s farm and ranch families. “The emphasis on crop insurance as a risk management tool, combined with flexibility that the measures offer through other safety net choices, will go a long way in ensuring a stable agricultural economy over the next few years. These bills represent a good balance among the interested parties, and (the Colorado Farm Bureau) looks forward to working with our senators and members of Congress as these bills progress,” Shawcroft said.

illa came with a strong set of vocal cords and a keen desire to use them. Ever since she was a puppy, she has used her voice to express any and every emotion, be it a want of attention or to get a reaction. Some dogs are naturally quieter, hardly making any noise and using their bodies to describe a feeling, need or desire. My Zoey was like that. Others, like our Willa, “speak.” Although admittedly still a puppy full of curiosity, enthusiasm and energy that exceeds the boundaries of her little body, Willa has very little patience for our slow-moving (in her eyes) human world, and she doesn’t hesitate to let us know. It’s not that she barks all the time. In fact, mostly what she produces is kind of a low-pitched mumble like someone muttering under her breath. You can 20968505

This kind of vocalizing isn’t unusual, especially for puppies. After all, noises fly constantly around them with humans who speak to communicate everything they need, think or feel. But when the vocalizing becomes an inappropriate attempt to garner unsolicited attention, it becomes something that needs to be worked on by teaching the appropriate alternative behaviors to get the desired results, such as being quiet and still while the dog’s meal is prepared. We, as Willa’s parents, initially caved in, thinking her mumbling or excited barking was cute and puppy like. But after we caught on and became more accustomed to her signals that indicated a real need (like the need for a potty break) we started working on helping her understand a quieter and more appealing way of getting what she wanted. We began by simply trying to ignore it, sometimes getting up and physi-

cally removing our presence. Although this helped, we also needed to show her what we did want, rather than just what we didn’t. We needed to reward that preferred behavior, which was to remain relatively calm and quiet. In other words, we helped her understand that the best way to ask for something was to be still and silent. As she has gotten older, she has begun to tune in better to our methods and our guidelines. Her attention seeking, which is a normal and necessary behavior for communicating actual needs, has become more fine tuned and sensitive, less pushy and demanding. She still vocalizes a lot, but that is who she is. Our job is to help her understand when it’s OK and when it’s time to dial it down a notch or two.

Steamboat Springs
Residents of Northwest Colorado who have spent time in Texas will be glad to see this weekend’s entertainment headliners, but you don’t have to be from the Lone Star State to appreciate the music in store for Steamboat. The Wheeler Brothers and Suzanna Choffel, both originally from Austin, will perform at 7:30 p.m. today at the Chief Theater. The show will be the first visit to Steamboat for solo singer-songwriter Choffel, a former acquaintance of Chief Executive Director Tamara Beland. “We go way back to our

days in Austin, when I was teaching at a school she was running,” Choffel said. “She’s been putting a bug in my ear for a while to come out to Colorado, and I have a lot of fans out there, but it was always not in the routing plans to start touring more extensively. It’ll be nice to get out of New York into beautiful Colorado.” Choffel appeared on the third season of NBC sing-
ing competition “The Voice” in fall 2012 and received an Independent Music Award nomination for her album “Steady Eye Shaky Bow.” She has played a number of the same festivals as the Wheeler Brothers, but the two acts take their folk-based sound in different directions. Drummer Patrick Wheeler said the pairing of their music should complement each other well. “It’ll be different, but I like that,” he said. “If you put seven punk rock bands together, they’ll all sound the same, but if you get some more diverse kinds of music, you’ll have a show that’s more fun.” The Wheeler Brothers quintet appeared twice in Steam-
boat last year for MusicFest and OktoberWest. Since then, the group released its second album, “Gold Boots Glitter,” a wholly new sound compared with previous album “Portraits.” “It’s a little more all over the place,” Wheeler said. “As a group, we have some very broad tastes, so this was a good way to get everybody’s collective interests together.” Wheeler said the show will incorporate an “ebb and flow” of older and newer songs. “We’ve had a really good fan response to ‘Gold Boots Glitter,’” lap steel guitarist A.J. Moyineaux said. “We were first playing some of the songs See Chief, page 14

on it when we were on tour last year, and then it took about a year to record the album, so it’s been cool to watch the progression for people listening to us.” Moyineaux added that his favorite track is “Struggle with It All You Like” for the guitar hook it contains. All the group members are anticipating tonight’s show. “Suzanna is an Austin staple, so it’ll be great to reconnect with her,” Moyineaux said. “Besides Texas, I think we’ve toured Colorado more than anywhere else, and it’ll be great to be there in the summertime.” The Chief may be a smaller venue than some the band is booked for — such as music festival Lollapalooza, where the group will play in August — but Wheeler is certain the show will be no less of a rocking good time. “We tour all over the country in places of every size, and that’s all part of the adventure,” he said. “We always give 110 percent.”
Q-and-A with Choffel Explore Steamboat: How long have you been performing professionally? Suzanna Choffel: I’ve been performing more or less my whole life, but professionally as a musician about eight or nine years, maybe around 10. I was always musical, but I got more into it in college, started studying music. I was kind of a diehard fan of so many musicians, and I went to so many shows, I knew there was nothing else I really wanted to do. I grew up in a very musical household, and it was something that was definitely encouraged, so the bug bit me. ES: You were a contestant on
ES: What can an audience unfamiliar with your music expect? SC: My music is somewhere between folk, soul and pop. It’s kind of hard to define it into a niche, but I do a mix of lowkey, folksier songs and some that have reggae and world influence that are more upbeat and some straight pop-rock influences. It’ll be a variety of stuff, but there’s a lot of husky, sweet soul, and I think that defines me more than anything. ES: Your website likens you to artists such as Feist, Petula Clark, Lulu and Dusty Springfield, and it was a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” that landed you a spot on “The Voice.” What other musical names have influenced your style? SC: Digging deeper, back into my childhood, I listened to a lot of Motown, Stevie Wonder. I loved Roberta Flack, plus a lot of folk, Joni Mitchell, Emmylou Harris, John Denver, stuff like that. When I was in college, I really got into world music, so you’ll hear a bit of Bob Mar-

ley influence, and I sang a Bob Marley song on “The Voice,” that’s the one I went out on. Some people were surprised by that, but if you know my music, you know I’m very into the syncopation and the heart and soul that’s in reggae. ES: You’re planning to work on a third album this year, following 2006’s “Shudders & Rings” and 2011’s “Steady Eye Shaky Bow.” Will you be going in the same direction with your material or creating something entirely different? SC: I think it’ll have a similar thread, but I’m really focusing on my voice and capturing a more intimate sound. The first album was intimate and low-key, and my second, I came out real big with the instrumentation and arrangements. Some people loved it, and some said I needed it to be more intimate, so I’d like to split the difference on this album. It’ll be kind of a mix of styles.

Being on reality TV is always kind of strange — it makes you look at yourself in a strange lens because you’re being judged by this whole other group of people. Blake was a very sweet, genuine guy, and I don’t think he understood me musically because I’m not a country artist, but I think we vibed well together, and he respected me.

The latest installment of area favorite Steamboat Stomp will take place outside city limits today, with the action going down at Clark’s Glen Eden Resort. The night of country swing dancing begins at 7:30 p.m. with lessons in the two-step followed by a regular dance session at 8 p.m. There is no cover charge to join in the activities. The hosts for the night will be resort restaurant Murphy’s Tavern, switching up the schedule from the Stomp’s usual locale, the Depot Art Center. The tavern last hosted the Stomp in March. “They’ll have the same DJs and the same music, just in a little more rural location,” tavern owner Leslie Murphy said. “It’s always a good combination of beginners and experienced dancers who turn out for it.” Murphy said moving the dance to the resort, located about 18 miles north of Steamboat Springs, has helped them bring in more dancers from across Routt County. “It’s a good mix of people from Clark, Steamboat and guests at the resort,” she said.

For years, Tribbles, Klingons and the Prime Directive were terms that appealed to only a select few. Some may be against the change in what’s cool, but “Star Trek Into Darkness” keeps the quest going to make these things universal. As captain of the USS EnterBockelman prise, James Kirk (Chris Pine) is responsible for making command decisions on a moment’s notice, not all of which fly with his superiors at Starfleet Command. When he breaks more regulations than usual on his latest mission, Kirk is demoted to first officer under his mentor, Rear Admiral Christopher Pike (Bruce Greenwood) in an effort to rein in his recklessness.
No sooner is the loose cannon disciplined when he is left in charge once again, when Pike is the latest victim of a series of assaults on Starfleet by rogue agent John Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch), who promptly flees Earth to the desolate planet of Kronos, beyond the reach of the organization’s jurisdiction. Given the approval to seek out Harrison and bring him to justice, Kirk’s desire for vengeance is met with disapproval by second-in-command Spock (Zachary Quinto), a stickler for the rules as always. Their argument about how to handle the situation only becomes more problematic when they learn Harrison’s motivation for his actions and realize they may be in too deep to solve the issue. Pine’s insistence in making his Kirk light-years different from that of William Shatner is just as prevalent in his second go, with the more sea-

Quinto keeps up with him best he can as everyone’s favorite half-Vulcan, struggling to understand the many emotions that seem to rule all his colleagues, particularly tempestuous girlfriend Uhura (Zoe Saldana).

will slow things down with its blend of blues, rock and bluegrass. “They’ve got that Delta sound, and it should be cool to see them play since it’s their first time in Steamboat,” Carl’s owner Colin Kelley said. The last show of the night will offer yet another type of music with psychedelic rockers Max Pain and the Groovies, of Salt Lake City, entertaining the late crowd at 10:30 p.m. at The Tap House. Saturday will offer a whole new slate of artists at the same locations, with Jaden Carlson Band, headed by its titular preteen guitarist, taking the stage at 8 p.m. at Sweetwater. “Jaden is just amazing on that guitar, just a prodigy,” Haggarty said. Elsewhere, Pete Stein and the Black Tiger Fire Band will be at Carl’s at 9:30 p.m. Kelley said Stein, whom he
described as sounding like Tom Petty with Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen lyrics, is one of his favorite performers to book. “He always puts on a great show, and I can’t believe he doesn’t have an album,” Kelley said. Finally, The Tap House and Old Town Pub will offer dual downtown performances at 10 p.m., with DJ Leprechaun spinning at Tap House and Drift at Old Town Pub. OTP manager Sean Regan said Drift consists of a “collaboration of local artists doing bluegrass rock fusion” that he thinks residents will love. And just in case that’s not enough music for weekend warriors, Memorial Day itself also marks the beginning of Old Town Pub’s series of open mic nights. “We’ve already got a lot of people ready for that, so it should be great,” Regan said.

Memorial Day weekend means different things to different people, with some preferring to get out of town and others ready to relax during the threeday respite. But if you are planning to stay in Steamboat or are in town visiting, you won’t be bored. This weekend will be a prime opportunity to catch live music, with numerous locations across town offering up tunes tonight and Saturday night. Besides the array of local bands performing at McKnight’s Irish Pub & Loft on Friday and Saturday evening and the Chief Theater’s showcase today of Texas acts the Wheeler Brothers and Suzanna Choffel, the weekend will start off with evening performances at Sweetwater Grill, Carl’s Tavern, The Tap House Sports Grill and Old Town Pub, all of which you might be able to take in during one night if you try hard enough. Denver group Rowdy Shadehouse will stop at Sweetwater to get the crowd pumped up at 9 p.m. today with its high-adrenaline beats. “I’d describe them as a ‘super funk’ band,” Sweetwater owner Kim Haggarty said. “They’ve got more energy and craziness than any band I’ve ever seen.” Haggarty said exuberant frontman Jon Thursday particularly will strike a chord with the audience. The night continues at 9:30 p.m. at Carl’s Tavern, where New Orleans trio Mississippi Rail Co.

Steamboat author Tom DeLancey’s new book will rearrange readers’ perception of the Yampa Valley, particularly if they think they know it well. DeLancey, who taught geology at Colorado Mountain College for 20 years, is releasing “A Geologic Field Guide to Steamboat Springs and Vicinity” on Sunday with a booksigning event at Off the Beaten Path Bookstore. This is not a geology textbook, though it contains a good deal of science. Rather, it is a guide for people who would enjoy outings that take them to an interesting mineral deposit, a fossil site or a notable geologic formation, perhaps one they have driven past dozens of times without fully appreciating it. The guide represents the author’s effort to share some of the field trips he has taken
his students to throughout the years. “It’s been 20 years of making these trips with students. They have always commented that the field trips were the highlight of their experience,” DeLancey said. Who knew that you could pull off U.S. Highway 40 west of Maybell in Moffat County and search for fire agates of gemstone quality in an otherwise bland-looking road cut?
Were you aware that some of the stones on Rocky Peak at the head of Strawberry Park are among the oldest rocks on earth? They are about 2.7 billion years old. DeLancey explains it all with his clear writing and hand-drawn maps and illustrations. The book ties together the well-known volcanic sites across Routt County from Hahn’s Peak to the Rabbit Ears formation and Finger Rock near Yampa. All three of the those familiar landmarks are distinctly different from one another. Finger Rock, near Yampa is the remains of a 12 million-year-old volcanic neck, DeLancey said. It’s within sight of the Flat Tops, which are capped with a basalt lava flow. The Rabbit Ears on the mountain pass of the same name comprise sedimentary deposits of igneous material left by an old volcanic vent that is so eroded it’s difficult to discern on the landscape.
And Hahn’s Peak, in North Routt, is a very old volcano dating back 60 million years to the end of the age of the dinosaurs. DeLancey’s field guide also offers most readers a deeper understanding of the hot springs in the Steamboat area than they previously might have had. DeLancey’s new book also dispels an apparent myth about the famed Steamboat Springs, long described as being a small, chugging geyser until it was disrupted when the railroad arrived in Steamboat in the early 20th century. “It probably was not a geyser,” DeLancey said. “It doesn’t show any signs of geysers we know of.” Instead, the author surmises, the sound of the bubbling spring probably was amplified by a small cave adjacent to the spring that acted as an amphitheater.

Future full of promise Bockelman continued from 16 Scott’s (Simon Pegg) resignation on moral grounds; and perpetual grump Dr. Leonard McCoy (Karl Urban), whose usual scowl is lightened a little by new crew member Carol Marcus (Alice Eve). Who knew Bones could flirt? As far as these familiar faces go, it’s the new one that makes the biggest impact. The ever-menacing Cumberbatch offers a deliciously wicked tour de force as the Machiavellian superhuman Harrison, whose true identity is pretty obvious right away for serious Trekkies even before his true name is bellowed to the heavens. You had to know J.J. Abrams and his writing team would revisit the classic canon as they create their own chronology of Gene Roddenberry’s original vision. Keeping true with the parallel timelines introduced in Abrams’ first “Trek,” the franchise forges ahead, driven by dual engines — the promise of new ideas and the reverence for standards that never get old. Abrams proves his initial reboot still has infinite possibilities and can continue a story better than the more segmented films of the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s. Just watch “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” and “Wrath of Khan” back to
back and see how many changes there are. This second in the new, action-packed series succeeds in being less episodic as the Enterprisers face their most fearsome foe yet, but it sometimes borders on being a perfect mirror image of some of the most important moments in “Trek” history rather than its own fully defined movie. A complete newbie might not recognize some of the more glaring moments of mimicry, but the more seasoned may see it as a lack of originality rather than the tribute it’s intended to be. Even so, the friendship between Pine and Quinto’s Kirk and Spock has the same — and sometimes greater — bearing as that of Shatner and Leonard Nimoy, and that makes all the difference. “Into Darkness” keeps the dream of “Star Trek” on course with only minor malfunctions. Abrams may have his work cut out for him trying to take on a new “Star Wars” trilogy in addition to his involvement with this series, but the future definitely looks promising for all nerdkind. Andy Bockelman is a Craig resident, freelance writer and Denver Film Critics Society accredited film fanatic who occasionally reviews movies playing in Steamboat Springs.

New movies Comedy, R, 100 minutes
Perhaps responding to criticism of the sequel or perhaps just wanting to challenge himself, director Todd Phillips has delivered a film so different from the first two “Hangovers,” one even could ask if this is supposed to be a comedy. It plays more like a straightforward, real-world thriller with a few laughs than a hardR slapstick farce. You don’t see too many genre-hopping threequels, so credit to Phillips and his team of co-writers for trying to do something different with the now familiar characters of Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and the ever-bland Doug (Justin Bartha). But the big fix might have changed things just a little too much. There are some big laughs — many of them given away in the trailer — and one terrifically choreographed scene set on the rooftop of Caesars Palace in Vegas. But most of the time, the characters are involved in a rough game of cat-and-mouse,
‘Epic’
and when there’s violence, it’s not usually played for laughs. It’s played for violence. Rating: ★★
Animated adventure, PG, 100 minutes
‘Fast & Furious 6’ Action, PG-13, 130 minutes
Against all odds, the “Fast & Furious” franchise actually is picking up momentum, with “FF6” clocking in as the fastest, funniest and most outlandish chapter yet. Whether we’re seeing stunt work or special effects or a combo platter, director Justin Lin keeps raising the bar, going for intentional laughs and thrilling moments as cars pull off impossible maneuvers and humans keep flying in the air and landing with thuds. “Furious 6” couldn’t be any less plausible if it were animated, but that’s sort of the point. We have all these great-looking people and their awesome cars, and they actually think if you drive fast enough, and you love your brothers-in-cars more than the bad guys love doing badguy stuff, you can finish first. This is a movie that knows exactly what it wants to be and is almost always successful fulfilling that mission. Rating: ★★★★
The latest animated film from Fox’s Blue Sky division, “Epic” depicts good vs. evil forces battling about the fate of the natural realm. Director Chris Wedge (“Ice Age,” “Robots”) gives us lush, often breathtaking visuals of a world within our world — a forest populated by tiny Leaf Men who ride hummingbirds and do battle with an equally minuscule army of nasty creatures known as Boggans. A world in which regular humans are known as “Stompers,” comically clumsy giants who clomp around in slow motion, utterly clueless to the world around their feet. An all-star cast provides the voice work, which proves to be distracting. Kids won’t mind, but the voices will take adults out of the story. So this is a borderline call. If you’re looking at a rainy Memorial Day weekend, and the kids are bouncing off the walls, “Epic” is a viable option. Otherwise, it’s got “wait for it to come out on home LE! video” written all overCINit.G AVAILAB N Rating: ★★★REAT FINA G — Richard Roeper

Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. is challenging the part of the federal health care law that requires for-profit companies to offer employees health coverage that includes products the business owners find morally objectionable, such as certain types of contraception. Few large American employers have weighed in on this because it’s a nonissue for them. A survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation found 85 percent already offered such coverage before the Obama administration mandated it as part of its health care overhaul last year. But a number of firms like Hobby Lobby, which is owned by an evangelical Christian family, argue the regulation violates
their religious freedom. Hobby Lobby, for example, already provides coverage of almost all contraceptives as part of its employees’ health insurance. It objects to the requirement that it now cover the socalled morning-after and weekafter pills, saying that paying for those two treatments would violate its owners’ belief that life begins at fertilization. Thirty-one private companies have sued to overturn the regulation on similar grounds. Their cases are pending. Hobby Lobby is the best-known; most of the others are smaller, familyrun and privately held, so they do not have to run legal strategy by shareholders like larger, publicly traded firms do. Businesses contemplating stepping into such heated issues also face other considerations.
Papa John’s CEO, John Schnatter, last year complained that the entire health law — not just covering certain types of contraception — would hike the cost of his company’s pizzas. He then had to deal with a boycott organized by the federal law’s supporters. Not every company with religiously observant ownership has sued. Chik-fil-A Inc., which said it operates on “biblically based principles” and closes on Sundays, has not challenged the health law’s mandate. Reproductive rights groups argue businesses shouldn’t be able to use religious beliefs to mandate what type of health care their employees receive. The dispute about the contraception coverage mandate is expected to end up in the U.S. Supreme Court.

Lawyers for Colorado theater shooting suspect James Holmes are trying to clear away legal questions Thursday so that Holmes can plead not guilty by reason of insanity. Holmes’ lawyers will ask the judge to answer whether state laws on the insanity plea and the death penalty work in combination to violate Holmes’ constitutional rights. They want answers before Holmes agrees to conditions he must accept in order to enter an insanity plea. Holmes is accused of opening fire on a packed movie theater in the Denver suburb of Aurora in July, killing 12 people and injuring 70. He faces multiple counts of murder and attempted murder. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. An insanity plea is seen as Holmes’ best chance of avoiding execution. But his lawyers delayed it for weeks, saying his rights could be jeopardized. One concern: If Holmes
pleads insanity but doesn’t cooperate during a mental health evaluation, his lawyers would not be able to call witnesses to testify about his mental health during a penalty phase of the trial. Holmes’ attorneys contend the law doesn’t clearly define what cooperation is. They also want more information about the mental exam Holmes would be subject to. Holmes needs the court’s permission to change his plea because a judge entered a standard not guilty plea on his behalf in March. The judge is likely to approve the change, but Holmes would first have to agree to the conditions, including the requirement that he cooperate during the mental evaluation. Once the insanity plea is formally accepted, Holmes would undergo an evaluation by state doctors to determine whether he was insane at the time of the shootings. Court proceedings would be on hold until the evaluation is completed, which could take months. Colorado law defines insanity as the inability to distinguish

right from wrong, caused by a diseased or defective mind. If jurors find Holmes not guilty by reason of insanity, he would be committed indefinitely to the state mental hospital. He eventually could be released if doctors find his sanity has been restored, but that is considered unlikely. If they convict him, the next step is the penalty phase, during which both sides call witnesses to testify about factors that could affect why Holmes should or shouldn’t be executed. The jury would then decide whether Holmes should be executed or sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole. If jurors impose the death penalty, it would trigger court appeals and open other possibilities that would take years to resolve — as in another death penalty case playing out in Colorado. Nathan Dunlap, on death row since 1996 for killing four people, was given an indefinite reprieve by the governor Wednesday. That could keep him alive for years but doesn’t eliminate the possibility he will be executed someday.

Tancredo running Block of shooter’s for state governor execution criticized DENVER
Former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo has become the latest Republican to announce plans to challenge Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper. Tancredo said Thursday on radio station KHOW the last straw was a decision by Hickenlooper to delay the execution of convicted murderer of Nathan Dunlap, who killed four people in 1993. Tancredo said he also is upset with Hickenlooper’s approval of sweeping gun legislation this year, including a law limiting the size of ammunition magazines. “I’m going to run for governor for the state of Colorado, and I’m going to do it this time as a Republican,” Tancredo said Thursday. Hickenlooper cruised to victory in 2010 after the Republican side of the ticket imploded. Tea party favorite Dan Maes won the party nomination when a better-funded candidate, former U.S. Rep. Scott McInnis, was accused of plagiarism. Tancredo

then declared Maes unelectable and briefly left the party to run as a third-party candidate. Steve Laffey, a onetime Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Rhode Island, announced Tuesday that he’s also running for governor of Colorado. Republican Secretary of State Scott Gessler has said he will decide next week whether to run. Tancredo gained national attention for blistering attacks on illegal immigrants and briefly ran for president in 2008. He continued his attacks on the Republican Party on Thursday, saying it would rather run a middle-of-the-road candidate in hopes the person won’t offend enough people to lose the race. “I think it’s absolutely the wrong position to take. You should be looking for people who are committed to principle,” Tancredo said. “They’re hoping they get some guy who’s very, very wealthy, can fund his own campaign, can skirt the issues and run down the middle. But it doesn’t work that way.”

DENVER
Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper’s decision to block the execution of convicted killer Nathan Dunlap for as long as he is governor infuriated victims’ relatives and drew quick criticism from Republicans ahead of the 2014 election. Hickenlooper on Wednesday granted an indefinite reprieve to Dunlap, who is on death row for the ambush slayings of four people — three teenagers and a 50-yearold mother — in an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese restaurant in 1993. The reprieve essentially guarantees Dunlap, 38, will stay alive at least through Jan. 13, 2015, the last day of Hickenlooper’s first term. “I think it’s highly unlikely that I will revisit it,” Hickenlooper said. “We feel the governor has taken the cowardly way out,” said Marj Crowell, whose 19-year-old daughter, Sylvia
Crowell, was killed. “They’re just hoping we’ll forget about this until we get the next governor.” Hickenlooper is running for re-election next year, and Dunlap’s fate is certain to be a campaign issue. Citing Hickenlooper’s decision, former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo — who ran as a third-party candidate in the last gubernatorial election — announced Thursday that he will run again as a Republican. Wednesday’s decision prompted unusually personal criticism. “Hickenlooper should’ve been up front with voters when he ran for office if he could not carry out the death penalty,” GOP Attorney General John Suthers said in a statement. “He’s made himself into Nathan Dunlap’s guardian angel,” said George Brauchler, the Republican district attorney in the office that prosecuted Dunlap. “He’s said, ‘As long as you keep me in office, Nathan Dunlap never has to face death.”’

Spokeswoman Heidi Prentup said search dogs found the suspect hiding behind a garbage container in Boulder on Thursday. Prentup said in a statement that a 33-year-old man and 35-year-old woman who are transients living in the Boulder area were stabbed Wednesday night and driven to the Nederland Police Department by friends. Two people at the Gordon Gulch campground told investigators they heard screaming at about 10:50 p.m. Wednesday. When they came out of their tent, they saw a man with a knife standing over the two victims. Police said the suspect offered a driver $50 to get a ride from Nederland into Boulder. Officers later found Hilbourne Southerland, 38, hiding behind a trash bin in Boulder and arrested him on attempted murder charges. The victims, whose names weren’t released, were taken to a hospital with possibly life-threatening stab wounds.

struggling to make new pickups powered by compressed natural gas work in the backcountry. Officials cite a lack of refueling stations and problems hauling big loads during recent tests. According to The Denver Post, the agency is trying to comply with a pledge by Gov. John Hickenlooper to add more natural gaspowered vehicles to the fleet. The wildlife agency plans to add at least 30 F-250 pickup trucks that run on both natural gas and gasoline for use by wildlife officers in their fleet.
Legal battle continues about Burnt Mountain SNOWMASS VILLAGE
An environmental organization that unsuccessfully tried to prevent Aspen Skiing Co. from thinning trees on a portion of Burnt Mountain last year is back in court to try to bar any potential for chairlifts or grooming on property adjacent to Snowmass. The Ark Initiative and its executive director, Donald Duerr, filed an appeal earlier this month in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia over a federal court’s decision to let the ski company advance with its plan. According to the Aspen Times, ski company officials insisted eight years ago that they weren’t interested in building the East Burnt Mountain chairlift, clos-
est to West Buttermilk. The company has conceptual approval for a West Burnt Mountain chairlift along the Long Shot trail.

Independence Pass is open to traffic for the season. The Colorado Department of Transportation opened Colorado Highway 82 over the pass near Aspen on Thursday afternoon. Each year, the department tries to get the 12,000-foot pass open in time for the Memorial Day weekend. In addition to tons of snow, workers had to haul out rock debris, clear ditches and fix damaged asphalt this year.
Authorities seize horses at animal rescue facility MORRISON
Jefferson County sheriff’s investigators and animal control officers have seized 18 horses at an animal rescue facility in Morrison.

Gessler repays state for trip Nicholas Riccardi THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER
Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler has picked up the tab for a trip he took to the Republican National Convention last year that he initially billed to taxpayers. By sending a check for $1,278 to the state treasury Wednesday, it appeared Gessler was trying to close the book on the politically damaging episode as he mulls a run for governor. Gessler, a Republican, used state funds to travel to Tampa and speak at a panel on election law. Critics complained about his use of public money to attend a partisan event. A watchdog group filed a com-
plaint with the state ethics commission, and the Denver district attorney’s office opened an investigation. Gessler said he billed the state appropriately since he oversees elections and learned about issues related to his job. He spent another $400 in state funds to return early to Colorado to deal with death threats against his family, and did not repay that expense Wednesday. “We’re pleased that the secretary finally did what he should have done months ago — repay the state for funds used to attend a Republican Party event,” Luis Toro, director of Colorado Ethics Watch, said in a statement. “This should send a message to all elected officials that public funds are not for personal or
political use.” Gessler maintains he did nothing wrong. “After many months of attempting to defend himself from this political attack, it became obvious that the Ethics Commission simply wasn’t going to give the secretary a fair hearing,” said Andrew Cole, a spokesman for Gessler. “So he decided to pay the money back in an effort to move on from this episode and get back to work for the people of Colorado.” Gessler filed paperwork Thursday to run for governor in 2014. His advisers described the filing as a formality that does not mean he is officially in the race. Gessler has said he will make a final decision next week.
Rice, managing director of the real-estate investment trust based in Orlando, Fla. Rice said his company is not committed to selling, but that if the portfolio sells, “we will be recycling that capital back into our lifestyle asset group and investing in both expansion projects at our existing resorts, as well as investing in potential new acquisitions.” “We are not stepping away from the ski industry,” said Rice, a former ski patroller who now heads one of the heaviest hitters in the ski-resort industry. “We are as committed as ever. We just think it’s a good time to put these assets on the market.” Other CNL properties include marinas, country clubs, senior housing communities and gated attractions such as Denver’s Elitch Gardens, according to The Denver Post.
The last ski season saw the trust’s mountain-resort-property revenues climb 16 percent, with visits increasing more than 10 percent.

President Barack Obama sought Thursday to advance the U.S. beyond the unrelenting war effort of the past dozen years, defining a narrowing terrorist threat that still imperils the nation but now is defined by smaller networks and homegrown extremists rather than the grandiose plots of Obama Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaida. He defended his controversial drone-strikes program as a linchpin of the U.S. response to the evolving dangers. In a lengthy address at the National Defense University, Obama argued that changing threats require changes to the
nation’s counterterrorism policies. He implored Congress to close the much-maligned Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba and pledged to allow greater oversight of the drone program. But he plans to keep the most lethal efforts with the unmanned aircraft under the control of the CIA. He offered his most vigorous public defense yet of drone strikes as legal, effective and necessary as terrorist threats progress. “Neither I, nor any president, can promise the total defeat of terror,” Obama told his audience of students, national security and human rights experts and counterterror officials. “What we can do — what we must do — is dismantle networks that pose a direct danger, and make it less likely for new groups to gain a foothold, all while maintaining
the freedoms and ideals that we defend.” Obama’s address came amid increased pressure from Congress on both the drone program and the status of the Guantanamo prison. A rare coalition of bipartisan lawmakers has pressed for more openness and more oversight of the highly secretive targeted strikes, while liberal lawmakers have pointed to a hunger strike at Guantanamo in pressing Obama to renew his stalled efforts to close the detention center. The president cast the drone program as crucial in a counterterrorist effort that will rely less on the widespread deployment of U.S. troops as the war in Afghanistan winds down. But he acknowledged the targeted strikes are no “cure-all” and said he is deeply troubled by the civilians unintentionally killed.
Boy Scouts to accept openly gay boys David Crary and Nomaan Merchant The Associated Press
GRAPEVINE, Texas
In one of their most dramatic choices in a century, local leaders of the Boy Scouts of America voted Thursday to ease a divisive ban and allow openly gay boys to be accepted into the nation’s leading youth organization. Gay adults will remain barred from serving as Scout leaders. Of the local Scout leaders voting at their annual meeting in Texas, more than 60 percent supported the proposal. Casting ballots were about 1,400 voting members of BSA’s National Council who were
attending their annual meeting at a conference center not far from BSA headquarters in suburban Dallas. The vote will not end the wrenching debate about the Scouts’ membership policy, and it could trigger defections among those on the losing side. Some conservative churches that sponsor Scout units wanted to continue excluding gay youths, and in some cases threatened to leave the BSA if the ban were lifted. More liberal Scout leaders — while supporting the proposal to accept gay youths — wanted the ban on gay adults lifted, as well. The BSA also could take a hit
financially. Many Scout units in conservative areas feared their local donors would stop giving if the ban on gay youth were lifted, while many major corporate donors were likely to withhold donations if the ban had remained. In January, the BSA executive committee suggested a plan to give sponsors of local Scout units the option of admitting gays as youth members and adult leaders or continuing to exclude them. However, the plan won little praise, and the BSA changed course after assessing responses to surveys sent out starting in February to members of the Scouting community.

Having lived most of her life in this Oklahoma City suburb, Barbara Bryen never feared twisters. They were just part of life in a particularly deadly stretch of Tornado Alley. She always thought the closet just inside her front door was good enough for shelter, and on Monday it was again. But after an EF5 twister barreled through town, killing 24 people, Bryen and others in this disaster-prone community say they would never build a house without a storm cellar. Monday’s twister “changed my thinking,” she said, looking at her house, which lost its roof. “I never want to live through that again. That was just terrible, terrible. Hearing the crashing and the banging and the wind and everything.” Oklahoma natives know tornadoes. They’ve been carried into storm cellars as children and huddled in closets with their own kids. But this week’s storm stands out, even in a town where violent weather is common. Living through a monster twister that dismantles your house — smelling the cracking lumber as the roof is ripped off, feeling the whoosh of air that indicates you’re now exposed — highlights an old danger in a new way. Moore has been through this before. Four tornadoes have hit the town since 1998, including one in 1999 that everyone just calls the “May 3 tornado,” which had 300 mph winds and killed more than 40 people. Locals point proudly to how Moore rebounded from that storm, and two more, before this week’s twister obliterated entire city blocks and caused damage that’s expected to top $2 billion. City officials say the 1999 tornado led more people to install storm shelters in their homes. More than 3,000 shelters are now registered with the city. “We have a ton of people now. It’s just like buying a refrigerator or a stove for your house. You

put in a storm shelter,” said Elizabeth Jones, the city’s community development director. Moore has been one of the fastest-growing suburbs of Oklahoma City, attracting middleincome families and young couples looking for stable schools and affordable housing. The town’s population grew by 35 percent between 2000 and 2010, to about 51,000, as developers built subdivisions for people who wanted to avoid the urban problems and schools of Oklahoma City but couldn’t afford pricier college-town Norman next door. Although sprawling, Moore has retained a semi-rural flavor. Pickups are parked in many driveways, and many neighborhoods are surrounded by open land and horse pastures. Residents commute to jobs in Oklahoma City or to Tinker Air Force Base, which is about a 20-minute drive away. Moore’s unenviable position in Tornado Alley has prompted changes to the way residents protect themselves and fortify their properties. Some builders use tornado straps or other devices that give added strength to the connections between roof and frame or frame and foundation. But storm shelters remain the best protection. Increasingly, they’re cut right into the floor of garages with heavy
sliding steel doors. In the minds of some homeowners, a shelter is like any other premium feature that costs a few thousand dollars. For others like Bryen, it’s a significant investment. She said she and her husband both live on disability payments. Because many families can’t afford shelters and many elected leaders have a philosophy of low regulation, there isn’t talk of mandating them. “We enforce minimum codes, and then it’s up to the residents to determine what level of comfort they have with other safety options that may be available to them,” Jones said. Sarah Torrey said she and her husband had talked about saving for a storm cellar but never followed through. On Monday, she rolled herself and her dog inside a mattress topper and laid down in the hallway of her house. “I can’t tell you how many tornadoes we’ve had since we lived in this house,” Torrey said. “I mean, maybe that’s the downside of being an Okie. You stand on your front porch and watch it is the joke.” She said she would “absolutely never” again own a house without a storm shelter. “Wouldn’t even dream of it,” she said Tuesday as her family helped salvage items from the remnants of her house. 20967465

House backs variable rate Legislation would link student loans to financial markets Philip Elliott
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON
House lawmakers on Thursday approved legislation that links student loan rates to the ups and downs of the financial markets in spite of a veto threat from President Barack Obama. The Republican-backed bill would allow students to dodge a scheduled rate hike for students with new subsidized Stafford loans next month, but rates could rise in coming years. Democrats largely opposed the measure — which they branded the “Making College More Expensive Act” — while the Republican chairman of the Education Committee labeled the legislation a start-
ing point for negotiations with the Senate and White House. “We have an opportunity today to get politicians out of the business of setting student loan interest rates,” House Education and the Workforce Committee Chairman John Kline. “We have an opportunity to provide students more stability in the long run by putting an end to quick fixes and campaign promises. And we have an opportunity to build upon common ground with the administration and advance a bipartisan solution that’s a win for both students and taxpayers.” Interest rates on new subsidized Stafford loans are set to double, from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent, on July 1. Lawmakers from both parties say they want
to avoid the increase but were divided on how. Some Democrats are seeking an extension of the current rates until Congress takes up a higher education bill later. Republicans have rejected that as costly and irresponsible. A two-year extension of the 3.4 percent rate for subsidized Stafford loans would cost taxpayers about $9 billion. Under the GOP proposal, student loans would be reset every year, pegged to 10-year Treasury notes with added percentage points. For instance, students who receive subsidized or unsubsidized Stafford student loans would pay the Treasury rate, plus 2.5 percentage points starting for loans issued after July 1.

Report: Kids need to get more physical WASHINGTON
Reading, writing, arithmetic — and PE? The prestigious Institute of Medicine is recommending that schools provide opportunities for at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day for students and that PE become a core subject. The report, released Thursday, said only about half of the nation’s youngsters are get-
ting at least an hour of vigorous or moderate-intensity physical activity every day. Another concern, the report said, is that 44 percent of school administrators report slashing big chunks of time from physical education, arts and recess since the passage of the No Child Left Behind law in 2001 in order to boost classroom time for reading and math. With childhood obesity on the rise — about 17 percent of children ages 2 through 19 are obese — and kids spending
much of the day in the classroom, the chairman of the committee that wrote the report said schools are the best place to help shape up the nation’s children. “Schools for years have been responsible for various health programs such as nutrition, breakfast and lunch, immunizations, screenings,” Harold W. Kohl III, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Texas School of Public Health, said in an interview with The Associated Press.

40th reunion set for POWs Gillian Flaccus
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
YORBA LINDA, CALIF.
U.S. Navy Lt. Mike McGrath was just 27 years old, with a wife and two toddler sons in the U.S., when he was shot down and taken prisoner on his 179th bombing mission during the Vietnam War. McGrath spent almost six years in North Vietnamese prisons, enduring torture and beatings before he was released in spring 1973 with nearly 600 men whose plight united a nation otherwise bitterly divided by the drawn-out war. On Thursday, McGrath and 200 of those men, almost all of them former pilots, will reunite for a three-day celebration at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library & Museum that coincides with the 40th anniversary
of a star-studded White House dinner hosted by President Nixon to honor their sacrifice. At the time, Nixon was embroiled in Watergate, but the former prisoners — now in their 60s and 70s — credit him with their freedom. Nixon resigned a little more than a year after the dinner as he faced near-certain impeachment. “He was a hero to us. He will always be revered by us as a group because he got us home, and we didn’t know how we were going to get home,” said retired U.S. Marine Capt. Orson Swindle, who spent six years and four months in Hanoi prison camps. Reminding Americans of that legacy — and not Watergate — will be front-and-center this weekend at the POW reunion, which begins Thursday with a motorcade and military
flyover, a wreath-laying ceremony and tours of a special museum exhibit that focuses on the POWs’ homecoming. The private Richard Nixon Foundation, which is hosting the event, also has re-created, down to the menu, the elaborate black-tie dinner that the president hosted for the POWs and their spouses 40 years ago this weekend. This weekend’s special POW exhibit includes White House staff notes about the dinner that stressed the psychological importance of a menu of sirloin steak, fingerling potatoes and strawberry mousse because “many POWs dreamed of good American food constantly” while in captivity. The notes also suggest Nixon crack a joke about banning turnips and parsnips from the menu, foods the captives learned to hate.

Get ready for another busy hurricane season, maybe an unusually wild one, federal forecasters say. Their prediction Thursday calls for 13 to 20 named Atlantic storms, seven to 11 that strengthen into hurricanes and three to six that become major hurricanes. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said there is a 70 percent chance that this year will be more active than an average hurricane season. If you live in hurricane prone areas along the Atlantic Ocean or Gulf of Mexico, “This is your warning,” said acting NOAA administrator Kathryn Sullivan. The season starts June 1 and lasts through November. A nor-
mal year has 12 named storms, six hurricanes and three major storms with winds over 110 mph. Last year was the third-busiest on record with 19 named storms. Ten became hurricanes and two were major storms, including Sandy, even though it lost hurricane status when it made landfall in New Jersey. The only storm to make it ashore in the U.S. as a hurricane was Isaac, which ended up in Louisiana at 80 mph after hitting the Caribbean and threatening the Republican convention in Tampa, Fla. This year, all the factors that go into hurricane forecasts are pointing to an active season, or an extremely active one, said lead forecaster Gerry Bell of the Climate Prediction Center. Those factors include: warmer than average ocean waters that provide fuel for storms, a multi-
decade pattern of increased hurricane activity, the lack of an El Nino warming of the central Pacific Ocean, and an active pattern of storm systems coming off west Africa. The Atlantic hurricane season goes through cycles of high and low activity about every 25 to 40 years based on large scale climatic patterns in the atmosphere. A high activity period started around 1995, Sullivan said. Ocean water is about 0.8 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than normal, but it’s not as high as it has been in other active years, Bell said. The forecasts don’t include where storms might land, if any place. Despite the formation of more hurricanes recently, the last time a major hurricane made landfall in the United States was Wilma in 2005. That seven-year stretch is the longest on record.

Suspect ID’d in London attack LONDON
A man seen with bloody hands wielding a butcher knife after the killing of a British soldier on the streets of London was described as a convert to Islam who took part in demonstrations with a banned radical group, two Muslim hard-liners said Thursday. Police raided houses in connection with the brazen slaying of the off-duty soldier, identified as Lee Rigby, of the 2nd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, who served in Afghanistan. In addition to the two suspects who were hospitalized after being shot by police, authorities said they had arrested a man and a woman, both 29, on suspicion of conspiracy to murder. Police would not say whether it appeared Rigby had been targeted specifically because of his military service. Although he was not in uniform at the time he was
killed, he was said by witnesses to be wearing a T-shirt for a British veterans’ charity. Authorities have not identified either of the two wounded suspects and have not said when they would do so. Officials in Britain usually wait to name suspects until charges have been filed. Anjem Choudary, the former head of the radical group alMuhajiroun, told The Associated Press that the man depicted in startling video that emerged after Rigby’s death was named Michael Adebolajo, a Christian who converted to Islam around 2003 and took part in several demonstrations by the group in London. The BBC broadcast video from 2007 showing Adebolajo standing near Choudary at a rally. Omar Bakri Muhammad, who now lives in Lebanon but had been a radical Muslim preacher in London, also said he
recognized the man seen on TV as Adebolajo and said he attended his London lectures in the early 2000s. Bakri, speaking from Lebanon, said he remembers Adebolajo as a “shy person” who was keen to learn about Islam and asked interesting questions. “He used to listen more than he spoke,” Bakri said. “I was very surprised to learn that he is the suspect in the attack.” Mary Warder, who has lived in the Woolwich area for more than 30 years, told the AP said she had seen both of the suspects preaching on the streets. Shopkeepers, however, said they couldn’t remember seeing them. The two men suspected of killing the 25-year-old Rigby had been part of previous investigations by security services, a British official said Thursday, as investigators searched several locations and tried to determine whether the men were part of a wider terrorist plot.

When Cuban hunger striker Guillermo Farinas arrived in Miami, he said he was prepared to face rejection from radical members of the Cuban-American community who do not believe in pacific opposition. The reaction has been far different. When he went to the Versailles restaurant, a traditional gathering spot for older exiles in the city’s Little Havana neighborhood, he was embraced. During an event at Miami’s iconic Freedom Tower, he was applauded. “The love the exiles in Miami have shown us makes us discard what the government, over 54 years, has planted in our minds,” he said. It’s still too early to know what the travels by Cuba’s most prominent dissidents will have back on the communist-run island. Since January, when Cuban leaders stopped requiring all citizens to obtain “exit permits,” the dissidents have met not only with exiles, but also with U.S., European and Latin American leaders. In the past, the exit permit routinely was denied to “counterrevolutionaries.” Some dissidents still are not allowed to leave. At the very least, though, in Miami, the dissidents have stirred up a conversation about Cuba’s opposition and the misperceptions each side has formed about the other during the five decades of divisive policy and rhetoric that have followed Fidel Castro’s 1959 revolution. Farinas and others have remarked about the exile community they were raised to imagine:
A “Miami mafia” that wanted to return to the island and take back the houses they left behind. “There are many people who are afraid,” acknowledged Berta Soler, a leader of the Ladies in White dissident group, in a talk before a group of exiles Monday. “We are here to be able to go there and tell those people they are wrong, not to listen to what the Cuban government says, because those in exile are going to rebuild Cuba, not take away land or homes from anyone.” The changed viewpoints are reflective of an evolving exile community, one that now resoundingly believes change must come from within Cuba, not outside it. Members of the community have largely assimilated to life in the U.S., rising to some of the highest positions in business and politics. And yet they have preserved their roots: Walk down any street in Miami, and Cuban coffee, food and the Spanish language still are in abundance. As dissident blogger Yoani Sanchez put it after arriving in Miami last month, she discovered a “Cuba outside Cuba.” It is not the same Cuba as the one she lives in today. “For them, it’s not so much nostalgic as something they don’t know,” said Alejandro Barreras, who runs a blog in Miami called On Two Shores. “A side of the country they never knew.” Sanchez and other dissidents have emphasized the similarities between Cubans on both sides of the Florida Straits and called for unity. But after several generations of immigration and life in the U.S., ideas about Cuban identity and culture are considerably more diverse.

Lebanese supporters and opponents of Syrian President Bashar Assad fired heavy machine guns and lobbed mortar shells at one another Thursday in some of the worst fighting in the port city of Tripoli in years. The battles raised the fiveday death toll to 16 and fed fears of the Syrian civil war spreading to Lebanon and other neighboring countries. The violence also added to the urgency of U.S.-Russian efforts to bring both sides of the Syrian conflict to a peace conference in Geneva. Members of the Syrian opposition began three-day meetings in Istanbul to hash out a unified position on whether to attend, while maintaining that Assad’s departure from power should be the goals of the negotiations. Lebanon has been on edge since the uprising in Syria began in March 2011. The country, which still is struggling to recover from its own 15-year civil war, is sharply divided along sectarian lines and into pro and antiAssad camps. The overt involvement by the Iranian-backed Hezbollah Shiite militant group alongside Assad’s regime has sparked outrage among many Sunnis in Lebanon who identify with the overwhelmingly Sunni rebels fighting to topple Assad. Deadly sectarian street fighting has erupted on several occa-
sions, mostly in Tripoli, Lebanon’s largest city and a hotbed for Sunni Islamists. This week’s fighting there has been linked to a Syrian regime offensive against the rebel-held city of Qusair in western Syria that has included Hezbollah fighters supporting Syrian troops against the rebels. Tripoli is overwhelmingly Sunni but has a tiny community of Alawites, members of Assad’s minority sect, which is an offshoot of Shiite Islam. Residents reported more than six hours of fighting that began late Wednesday and continued through Thursday morning. Mortar shells were used for the first time. Ambulances rushed back and forth, transporting casualties to hospitals as officials used mosque loudspeakers to urge citizens to take shelter in basements. Schools and many businesses were shuttered Thursday as sporadic fighting continued. Five people were killed, pushing the overall death toll to 16 since fighting began Sunday, with 200 people wounded, a security official said, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with military regulations. “It was a frightful night that instilled terror in the heart of every resident of Tripoli,” said Shada Dabliz, a 40-year-old peace activist in the city. “Tripoli is part of Lebanon, where is the state? Why doesn’t the government do anything?”

Steamboat’s Everyday Low Price Leader
International efforts to combat a new pneumonia-like virus that now has killed 22 people are being slowed by unclear rules and competition for the potentially profitable rights to disease samples, the head of the World Health Organization warned Thursday. Dr. Margaret Chan, in a blunt warning to the U.N. agency’s annual global assembly, portrayed a previously little-known flap about who owns a sample of the virus as a global gamechanger that could put people’s lives at risk. The virus, which first emerged in Saudi Arabia where most cases have arisen, is called MERS for Middle East respiratory syndrome. “Please, I’m very strong on this point, and I want you to excuse me,” she said. “Tell your scientists in your country, because you’re the boss. You’re the national authority. Why would your scientists send specimens out to other laboratories on a bilateral manner and allow other people to take intellectual property rights on a new disease?” The controversy stems from a sample taken by Saudi microbiologist Ali Mohamed Zaki that he mailed last year to virologist Ron Fouchier at the Erasmus Medical Center in the Netherlands. Fouchier tested, sequenced
and identified it last September as a new virus. Then his private medical center patented how it synthesized the germ and required other researchers who wanted samples to first sign an agreement that could trigger a payment. Saudi Arabia, which had the first case, said the patenting delayed its development of diagnostic kits and blood tests. “There was a lag of three months where we were not aware of the discovery of the virus,” Deputy Health Minister Ziad Memish told the Geneva assembly. He said the sample was sent to the Dutch lab without official permission. So far there is no blood test for detecting infection in communities. Memish said that patients need to be isolated because in some cases, diarrhea or vomiting may help spread the germ. Dr. Keiji Fukuda, WHO’s assistant director-general for health security, said his agency also has been “struggling with diagnostics” because of property rights concerns and illdefined international rules for sharing such materials. Chan railed against any arrangement that could prevent rapid sharing of information or that would enable individual scientists or private labs to profit. WHO officials said the delays involve blood and other tests though a few other facilities in Canada, Britain and Germany have samples.

SPORTS HOTSPOT Joel Reichenberger Steamboat Today
Steamboat Springs
It’s always a challenge to imagine things as they existed before your time, and by that rule, Steamboat Springs never has been without a real concrete skatepark as far as Asher LesyshenKirlan sees thing. He came to the Bear River Skate Park in Steamboat Springs on Thursday after school with buddy Nik Keyek in tow, the pair riding as parents and a sister looked on. Asher and Nik, both 9 years old and skiers with the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club in the winter, had big plans for their skating Thursday. Asher was focused on grinding a box that had bedeviled him while Nik, a freestyler on snow, was concentrating on getting more air. The pair of relative novices, who
spent an ample amount of time chasing their skateboards, have been at the sport less than two years, so they’ve never known a Steamboat without Bear River Skate Park. On Thursday, it didn’t seem it had ever been any other way, even as work continues to turn that area into an action sports hotspot in Steamboat. With the growth of the next-door Bear River Bike Park and other improvements underway, there’s no shortage of places for fun. “Skateboards and bike have some great synergy,” said Jon Casson, active in both the skateboarding and mountain biking worlds. This marks the first season for the park with a new entrance road and an actual parking lot, resolving one of the more awkward aspects of the park’s first three years of existence.

Casson will be offering skateboarding classes during the summer Park continued from 31 boat Director of Parks, Open Space and Recreational Services Chris Wilson confirmed that the road is open, though it’s still prone to intermittent closures as crews finish up work and prepare the route to be paved with asphalt. The area is far from finished, but work is progressing. The asphalt should be down early this summer and work already has begun on the nextdoor Bear River Bike Park’s newest amenity, an expert jump line financed by the Bell Built bike grant Steamboat Springs won via an online voting contest. Trucks have been delivering dirt for the project and park designers are due in town next month to help direct work. “We’re excited,” Wilson said. “The elements that are there are fitting together well, and now you have access down there and that’s a great step toward making it all come together.”
@SteamboatPilot Follow us at www.twitter. com/steamboatpilot for more news, or scan this code with your smartphone.
Casson said there still are dreams of expanding the skatepark. It currently occupies about 11,000 square feet and there’s room on the footprint for a 3,000- or 4,000-squarefoot addition. He said the only thing the park really lacks at this time is a deeper bowl. Everything else simply would add more options for riders, though it all could be a ways off thanks to a funding shortfall at this point.
Skateboard classes Casson also is offering skateboarding classes for this summer through the Winter Sports Club. As the organization’s snowboard director, he said he expected the classes to be perfect offseason training for his riders, but the appeal has grown to encompass snowboarders,
skiers and skateboarders of all backgrounds. “It’s an opportunity to go to the skatepark and be with someone who understands how to skate,” said Casson, pointing out that the trio of three-week summer sessions falls short of lessons but will offer instruction. “Parents can just drop a kid off and know they’re with someone they can trust, who knows how to skate and stay safe,” he said. “We want the kids to get comfortable in the skatepark and understand its flow and some of the fundamental skills they need to progress on their own.” The classes are broken up throughout the week by skill level, two days per week for each division. Beginner classes will meet Mondays and Thursdays at either 8:45 a.m. or 10:30 a.m. while intermediate classes will meet Tuesdays and Fridays at either 8:45 or 10:30. They begin June 17 and cost $130 per threeweek session. For more information, check out www.sswsc.org or call the Winter Sports Club’s office at 970-879-0695.

Meyer achieves his 2nd Everest summit Joel Reichenberger STEAMBOAT TODAY
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS
Steamboat Springs doctor Eric Meyer accomplished his second summit of Mount Everest, reaching the top of the highest mountain the world Wednesday morning in Nepal, according to his team’s Facebook page. Climbing with friend Chhiring Dorje Sherpa’s Rolwaling Excursion, Meyer was one Meyer of 15 in the group to reach the top and one of 60 climbers to make it Thursday. Meyer has become a regular in the Himalayan high country since he first reached the top of Mount Everest in 2004. He’s made multiple trips to the region since, but this was his second summit. His team this year included team leader and frequent climbing partner Chris Klinke as well as one other U.S. climber, a Swede, a Pole, two Indonesians and eight Nepalese climbers. Meyer got a late start to this year’s climbing season and tried to make up for a lack of acclimatization time by sleeping in his Steamboat home in an altitude tent, which simulated the atmosphere at 16,000 feet, about the level of Everest’s base camp. He climbed the mountain from the more popular south side in Nepal this time, as opposed to the north side he climbed in 2004. “The reason why I climb, it’s in the experience itself,” Meyer said before leaving this spring. “The beauty of the climb is in the experience — not the summit — the people you meet, the way you’re put in touch with your own frailty. You’re forced to dig down deep, and there is tremendous teamwork and camaraderie involved in pulling something like this off and coming back in one piece. “There’s nervousness, but it’s balanced by excitement, too. You have to be prepared for all of that. You have to be realistic about the environment you’re in and the chance that you might not come back. But it’s such a special place, and I’m so very fortunate.”

than welcome to come or to come and sit and watch.” The women’s team, which features about 15 regulars at practice, begins the season with a joint
tournament June 1 in Boulder. The team also will host the July 13th Cow Pie Classic and play in the Aug. 3 Ski Town Tournament in Glenwood Springs. “They’re getting really good numbers,” Bristow said. “But we’d love to get 20.” The men’s side has 26 players, but Bristow would like that number to get to 30. “The nature of rugby is the attrition rate is high,” Bristow said. The men’s team begins its season June 22 in Grand Junction. Its first home game is July 6 against Breckenridge. The focus, Bristow said, is the Cow Pie Classic. “That’s our season in a nutshell,” he said. “Everything else is second fiddle to the Cow Pie.
There is such a rich and successful history to that tournament. That’s our goal every year is to win the Cow Pie.”
Making a mark in Australia
Steamboat men’s rugby club member Chris Baumann is playing professionally in Australia. Baumann, who played for Steamboat for years, played for the Los Angeles Rugby Club before going to Australia, where he plays with the Randwick Rugby Club premier team. In Australia, there are six grades of rugby. Baumann is playing with the first-grade club, a professional team. “For an American to be doing that in Australia is crazy,” Bristow said. “I would not be surprised to see him on the U.S. World Cup team for 2015.”

As seven-time major champion John McEnroe put it: “It’s pretty obvious who the favorite is.” He meant, of course, Nadal, who won his record seventh French Open title last year and is 52-1 for his career at the place. Consider, too, the nearly perfect way the Spaniard has played after seven months off the tour because
of a left knee injury: Since returning in February, Nadal is 36-2, reaching the finals at all eight tournaments he’s entered, winning six. “I am enjoying every moment, and eight finals in a row is wonderful,” Nadal said. “Four, five months ago, it was impossible to think about this.” He wore a wrap of white tape below that troublesome knee while practicing Thursday afternoon
with the temperature in the 40s for about an hour before heavy rain fell; the forecast calls for more wet weather in the coming days. Nadal has cut down on the amount of time he spends training on court, one concession to the recurring knee problems, which also forced him to pull out of Wimbledon in 2009, when he would have been the defending champion.

‘I’m not racist’ is not a defense joking that Woods shouldn’t order fried chicken for the Masters champions’ dinner: The comments were “misconstrued.” Said comedian Michael Richards, after responding to a black heckler with a lynching reference and the N-word: “I’m not a racist.” Said actor Mel Gibson, after claiming that Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world: “I’m not a bigot.” The phenomenon has been even more pronounced since Barack Obama became America’s first black president. Clay Routledge, a social psychology professor at North Dakota State University who studies the ways people defend themselves against psychological threats, said they often engage in “self-deception”: They may think they’re a good athlete, for example, or have an outgoing personality — or do not have racial biases.

DURHAM, N.C.
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski just couldn’t pass on “the ultimate honor” of representing his country again as the U.S. men’s national team coach. Krzyzewski is returning as coach through 2016, extending a run that included leading the Americans to two straight Olympic golds while helping reshape a program that needed a jolt to keep up with the growth of international basketball. “I really thought I wasn’t going to do it,” Krzyzewski said
during a news conference Thursday. “But now that I am doing it, I can tell you I am doing it with 100 percent commitment and passion — but with seven years of experience of having done it before.” Krzyzewski, 66, took over as coach as USA Basketball began its national-team program in 2005. Since then, Krzyzewski has led the U.S. men’s team filled with NBA stars to Olympic gold medals in Beijing, in 2008, and London, in 2012. He also led the Americans to the gold at the 2010 FIBA World Championship, and the team has a 50-game winning streak
dating back to 2006. Krzyzewski — a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy and a former Army captain who also spent five years as coach at West Point — had said several times that London would be the final stop of his international coaching career. But USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo wanted to wait on any discussion until after Krzyzewski finished his season with Duke. His patience paid off, prompting Colangelo — speaking by teleconference — to say he was happy to continue what had been “a heck of a ride and a great journey.”

It’s almost a cliche. First, someone talking about blacks makes reference to fried chicken, watermelon, monkeys or dogs — or even uses the indefensible N-word. Then, along with the inevitable apology, comes the kicker: I’m not racist. The latest denial is from golfer Sergio Garcia. Asked a joking question about having dinner with his adversary Tiger Woods, Garcia said: “We will serve fried chicken.” He later apologized for what he called a “silly remark,” then added, “but in no way was the comment meant in a racist manner.” Perhaps the Spanish-born Garcia was unaware that chicken stereotypes have been used for at least a century to denigrate African-Americans. Maybe he was unaware of attitudes buried in his
subconscious mind. As the backlash increased, Garcia did apologize further, calling his remark “totally stupid and out of place.” But by then, he had secured a place on the lengthy roll of people who have offered justifications for statements widely considered offensive. How can words so hurtful be so easily brushed off? And what does the word “racist” even mean if it doesn’t encompass people who use racial slurs? “I think it’s human nature that if you’re a racist, you don’t want to admit it,” said conservative radio host Mike Gallagher. “If Tiger said, ‘Let’s serve tacos at dinner with Garcia,’ the world would go crazy,” Gallagher said. “When a bigot tells a bigoted joke and they get called out on it, the pattern is, I’ll say I’m sorry and maybe it will blow over.” The pattern is unmistakable.

Best Pint of Guinness: McKnight’s Irish Pub & Loft Refrain yourself from diving into a freshly delivered Guinness draft from McKnight’s for a moment and you’ll see a nice Irish touch: a shamrock clover carefully inlaid into the foam. “The biggest thing is patience,” says co-owner and manager Kerry Shea, adding that it takes 4 1/2 minutes to pour two-thirds, let it settle and then top it off again. Read more in Steamboat Living magazine, on newsstands now, or at ExploreSteamboat.com/bestoftheboat. YOUNG LIFE’S ‘MCPROM’ NIGHT Steamboat Today reader Aaron Werner shared these photos of Young Life’s “McProm” event. It was their first mock prom party at the playland at the Steamboat Springs McDonald’s. About 30 people showed up dressed in retro prom attire and had a dance party. Young Life works with high school students in Steamboat by building relationships with them and showing them that there are adults that care about them and will be a listening ear. People in Young Life share their Christian faith with these students and will accept them whether or not they want to share the same beliefs. We also work with middle school students with what is known as WyldLife. DO YOU HAVE A PHOTO TO SHARE? Email it to share@SteamboatToday.com, and we’ll put it online or in the newspaper.
