he words “lyrical prose” and “water policy” seldom are written in the same sentence, but author Stephen Grace has melded the two in his new book, “Dam Nation: How Water Shaped the West and Will Determine its Future.”

Grace Tom Ross comes to STEAMBOAT TODAY the Alpine Campus of Colorado Mountain College on Tuesday night for a book talk that is part of the Yampa Valley Sustainability Council’s Talking Green series. “Dam Nation” is a finalist for the 2013 Colorado Book Awards.

“When an editor suggested to me that I write a book about water issues, at first I thought it was preposterous. I was working on a second book about China. I wasn’t a water expert,” Grace said in a phone interview Friday.

However, the editor persuaded Grace that the coming scarcity of water is an issue that affects the lives of everyone.

“I pretty quickly found that most books about water are deadly boring,” he said. “I realized there was a need for a book that makes the topic See Ross, page 2

The 2013 Senior of the Year credits her good health and longevity to the programs and services that are offered to seniors in Routt County.

“Keep eating, keep exercising and stay healthy,” Louise Iacovetto said to her fellow seniors while accepting the award at the annual Spring Fling held Friday at the Steamboat Springs

Community Center.

The Routt County Council on Aging each year chooses a senior who has dedicated himself or herself to helping other adults and shows exemplary service, peer relationships and contribution of leadership,

“If you need to get something accomplished in South Routt, you start with Louise,” Council on Aging Executive Director Laura Schmidt said.

“Louise is kind, compassionate and thoughtful, but those traits don’t stop her from adopting a take-no-prisoners stance when it’s time to advocate for change.

She is a true leader.”

Iacovetto is 88 years old and has lived in Phippsburg her entire life. Her late husband,

Ray, was postmaster from 1949 until 1981, and Louise Iacovetto took over the job until retiring in 1989. The couple also ran the town’s general store.

Ray Iacovetto passed away in 2006.

“When I lost my husband, it would have been easy to be a couch potato, but I reached out and wanted to socialize,” Louise Iacovetto said.

explores the changes to the great American prairies brought about by the destruction of the bison range, breaking of the sod with plows and pumping of the aquifers to feed pivot irrigation systems, all of which also have provided food for the world. He writes about how giant dams on the Colorado River produced cheap electricity to make it feasible to pump the majority of the water out of the Ogallala Aquifer and how some of the arcane water law that prevails in the West was born of the gold rush.

But of all the research he did for his book, the information that concerns him the most is the revelation that we have been living in an era of relative water abundance in the late 20th and early 21st centuries and we might be about to return to a much drier epoch.

Compact that divided water among the upper basin states, like Colorado and Wyoming, with those of the lower basin states, like California and Nevada, was hammered out based on just 20 years of data in the midst of a moisture anomaly, Grace said.

That era offered so much relative moisture that it was a fluke of climate even though the pioneers found the region to be parched, according to research on tree rings by paleoclimatological scientists, he added.

“It’s almost certain we’ll have less water in the future than we do now,” Grace said.

“It will be hotter, drier, and we’ll have less snowpack. And the West will continue to experience population growth” producing “increasing demand on a decreasing supply of the one element essential to life. That, to me, is a big story.”

accessible to the public.”

And after all, without water, we wouldn’t have beer, right?

“I tried to work a little humor into the book,” Grace admitted.

And then there is his lyrical way of describing the landscapes and wild creatures that depend on the subsurface water of the West.

Consider this excerpt from “Dam Nation” about the Ogallala Aquifer: “Beneath the parched surface of the western landscape lie oceans of water.

This liquid plentitude is sometimes squeezed between layers of impermeable rock. When a well is bored into these wet depths, liquid overcomes gravity as it rushes to the place of lowest pressure and pushes upward toward the opening — an artesian well. It may even flow like a fountain, or a pump can be used to bring groundwater to the surface, where meadowlarks spread their melodic songs across the windy silence of the plains.”

“Come and try it out, and you might like it,” Iacovetto said.

In addition to the Senior of the Year award, the Steamboat Kiwanis Club was presented with the Friend of the Seniors Award.

Kiwanis Club President Bud Romberg accepted the award.

“It’s nice to be recognized for the service that has been provided,” Romberg said during lunch.

“We don’t do it for the recognition, but it’s nice to be recognized.”

Romberg said the Kiwanis Club focuses on helping youths and seniors. He said the club used to organize and pay for the

bus that would take seniors on errands to the bank and grocery store. The Council on Aging took over that program.

“We have supported it financially every year,” Romberg said.

The club also used to take seniors on a boat ride to Steamboat Lake. Today, the club still gives money to programs that support seniors, and the dozen club members volunteer their time.

“The group is small and mighty, and we’re grateful to them,” Schmidt said.

“While our area has received rain and green-up is underway in fine vegetation, the larger fuels and trees still suffer from the effects of drought and are ready to burn,” Northwest Colorado Fire Management Officer Colt Mortenson said in a news release. “We’ve responded to a number of small and single-tree fires from lightning associated with thunderstorms.”

■ @Nrfpdchief — North Routt Fire

As the summer tourism season kicks off this weekend, fire officials have the following tips: ■ Be aware of expected weather conditions.

■ Know whether fire restrictions are in effect.

■ Clear campfire area of brush and grass well beyond campfire.

■ Make campfire soup before leaving your campsite: Drown campfire with water, cover and stir in dirt until coals are cool to the touch.

■ Extinguish smoking materials properly: Hold matches until they are cold.

■ Park out of tall grass because hot catalytic converters can ignite fires.

■ Use approved spark arresters on internal combustion powered equipment.

■ Fireworks are illegal on public land.

■ Weakened or dead trees can fall without warning, so assess your camp area upon arrival.

What a difference a year makes when it comes to wildfire conditions in Northwest Colorado.

Heading into Memorial Day weekend, there are no fire restrictions in place in the region, meaning ranchers can continue agricultural burns and campers can enjoy campfires.

“We’re in a lot better shape than we were last year,” Routt County Emergency Management Director Bob Struble said Friday.

Last year’s dry conditions led to an onslaught of agricultural burns that got out of control. This led to Stage 1 fire restrictions going into effect April 18. Routt County imposed Stage 2 restrictions June 26, which essentially banned any open flames, including recreational campfires. The wildfire risk was so high that Sheriff Garrett Wiggins grounded the 32nd annual Hot Air Balloon Rodeo on July 7 and 8 because the balloons use open flames. July 4 fireworks were also canceled.

Currently, the fire danger is rated as low in the region, which means the potential for a large wildfire is minimal.

People still should exercise caution. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, the western half of Routt County still is suffering from severe drought conditions while the rest of the county has moderate drought conditions. Drought conditions are expected to persist.

On Wednesday Oak Creek and Yampa Fire Protection District firefighters responded to a wildfire on Routt County Road 16. The previous day, slash piles had been burned, and when winds picked up Wednesday, an ember set grass on fire. Much of the surrounding vegetation was green but still was prone to fire.

“It’s deceiving,” Struble said.

THE RECORD

Staying off muddy trails Paul Matheny

FOR THE STEAMBOAT TODAY

This time of year can be frustrating for trail users, including mountain bikers. The days are getting long and warm, and the ground is starting to dry out.

Mud season is nearly over, except on our trails. Although they might be dry (and almost irresistible) at the trailhead, as they ascend the hillsides, most Matheny trails still are muddy and soft, and many still have partial or complete snow cover.

Although it is doable to ride up and down in the mud, that is about the worst thing that can happen to the tread surface of a trail. Any activity that leaves a track or impression in the wet surface does several types of damage. The most obvious is that it leaves a rut that is rough to walk or ride over after it dries.

That damage can be repaired by our trail crews later in the summer, but why should we consume their valuable volunteer time repairing new damage when it is better directed at upgrading old, substandard trails or even expanding our trail net-

work when new trail construction is approved? More importantly, traveling on a saturated trail surface compacts the soil and reduces its ability to absorb future precipitation, which then leads to increased sediment runoff and increased erosion.

Correct trail design focuses on managing drainage to minimize erosion. Creating ruts in a soft trail surface alters the designed drainage, accelerates erosion and causes further trail damage and impact to the landscape.

Many of our trails are partially or totally on public land.

Public land managers’ support for improvements to and expansion of the existing trail systems depends largely on our individual and collective track record as trail users as well as Routt County Riders’ ability to sustainably maintain trails. Our responsible use of trails is critical not only for maintaining the landscape but also for continuing to demonstrate that new and existing trails are a prudent use of public land and not a liability.

If you ever have ridden the trails in the Grand Valley (Fruita and Grand Junction area) or

read any of the trail guides for these rides, you’ve probably seen the pleadings by the cycling community to “keep singletrack single.” The trails down there also are primarily on public land and are premised on being singletrack, minimizing the surface disturbance and avoiding the gradual widening because of missing turns, passing oncoming riders and exploring new routes. They actively try to educate riders so they don’t fall into the trap of thinking, “It’s just one track. What’s it gonna hurt?” The first new track sends the message to subsequent users that it’s a trail and it’s OK. Those concerns apply to our trails, as well, so as a responsible cycling community, we must try to resist the temptation to use muddy trails or to create a new route around wet sections.

They will be dry before long, and the wait will make summer riding that much sweeter for all of us. To check trail conditions before you head out, visit www. routtcountyriders.org.

letter to the editor

Keep fluoridation out On Tuesday, the residents of Portland, Ore., soundly defeated an attempt to add fluoridation chemicals to the drinking water by a vote of 61 percent to 39 percent just six months after Wichita, Kan., residents did the same.

The two cities join a list of more than 125 communities that have rejected fluoridation by either a council decision or ballot vote since 2010.

In opposing fluoridation, Portland voters agreed with the position of most Western nations that there are safer, more effective and less intrusive ways to promote oral health than adding a chemical linked to thyroid disease, IQ loss and other ailments to the water supply.

Most Western countries, including the vast majority of Europe, do not fluoridate their water. In fact, shortly before Portland’s vote, Israel announced that it will be ending its mandatory fluoridation program and Ireland has proposed legislation mak-

ing it a criminal offense to add fluoride to public water supplies. In Canada, the number of people drinking fluoridated water has dropped by about 25 percent since 2008.

Fluoride chemicals are the only chemicals added to public water for the purpose of medication (to purportedly prevent tooth decay). Citizens want their water departments to provide safe potable water, not dental treatments.

Let’s keep fluoride supplementation between patients and their practitioners.

Research shows no significant difference in the number of cavities for U.S. communities with and without fluoride in the drinking water. As another example, the vast majority of Western European countries do not fluoridate, yet the dental health of Western Europe is no worse than in the U.S. communities that fluoridate.

It’s time we join Portland, Wichita and the rest of the world in our opposition to fluoridation. Fluoride consumption should be a choice, not a mandate.

Fluoridating water appears neither necessary nor effective. The Oral Health Division of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention acknowledges that fluoride’s benefit comes from topical contact. Brushing your teeth with a toothpaste containing fluoride is the most common topical application. Swallowing fluoride provides no known benefits.

Fluoridating water is not safe. It is accepted that fluoridation causes severe problems for some individuals. Kidney patients are told to avoid fluoride, and the CDC recommends that bottled water with less fluoride be used when mixing infant formula.

Fluoridation provides an uncontrolled fluoride dose. Fluoridation began before research showed that fluoride’s benefits were due to topical application, not ingestion. And finally, fluoridation began before all its side effects were known.

First Amendment clause-trophobia Jonah Goldberg

Tribune Media Services

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

That’s the full text of the First Amendment.

But (with apologies to the old Far Side comic), this Goldberg is what many in the press, academia and government would hear if you read it aloud: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, blah blah blah, or abridging the freedom of the press, blah blah blah blah.”

Don’t get me wrong: The revelation that the Obama Justice Department has gone to unprecedented lengths to hamper or punish journalists is real news. DOJ trawlers dropped a gill net over The Associated Press in the hope of landing a single fish.

James Rosen, a reporter for Fox News (where I am a contributor), is the first journalist ever treated as a criminal under the Espionage Act. Other reporters at Fox — a news outlet the president has spent years trying to delegitimize — have been investigated by the DOJ as well.

The press can always be counted upon not just to speak up for itself, but to lavish attention on itself. “We

can’t help that we’re so fascinating,” seems to be their unspoken mantra.

And that’s fine. What’s not fine is the way so many in the press talk about the First Amendment as if it’s their trade’s private license.

The problem is twofold. First, we all have a right to commit journalism under the First Amendment, whether it’s a New York Times reporter or some kid with an iPhone shooting video of a cop abusing someone.

I understand that professional journalists are on the front lines of the First Amendment’s free press clause.

But many elite outlets and journalism schools foster a guild mentality that sees journalism as a priestly caste deserving of special privileges.

That’s why editorial boards love campaign finance restrictions: They don’t like editorial competition from outside their ranks. Such elitism never made sense, but it’s particularly idiotic at a moment when technology — Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Vine, etc. — is democratizing political speech.

The second problem is that the First Amendment is about more than the press. In public discussion, First Amendment “experts” and “watchdogs” really are scholars and activists specializing in the little slice dedicated to the press. The Newseum, a gaudy palace in the nation’s capital celebrating the news industry, ostentatiously reprints the entire First Amendment on its facade. But if the curators of the Newseum are much interested in the free exercise of religion or the rights of the people peaceably to

assemble, I’ve seen no evidence of it.

White House press secretary and former journalist Jay Carney repeatedly insists that the president is a “strong defender” and “firm believer” in the First Amendment.

Even if that were true when it comes to press freedoms — and that’s highly debatable — it’s absurd when it comes to the rest of the First Amendment, with the small exception of the “establishment of religion” clause.

Deeply secular, the press is ever watchful that the government might force someone to listen to a Christian prayer.

But when it comes to the constitutional right to exercise your faith freely, the press drops its love of the First Amendment like a bag of dirt. The president’s health-care plan requires religious institutions to violate their core beliefs. To the extent that such concerns get coverage at all, it’s usually to lionize “reproductive rights” activists in their battles against religious zealots.

The IRS scandal and the DOJ’s assault on the press may be two separate issues, but they are both about the First Amendment. The groups the IRS discriminated against wanted to exert their First Amendment rights to assemble, to petition government and to speak freely. Then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dubbed angry voters at local town hall meetings “un-American.”

Some Americans wanted to exerSee Goldberg, page 9

All safe after gunman alarm THORNTON

Armed officers and worried parents rushed to a Denver-area high school as students hunkered down in closets and classrooms Friday after a report of a gunman near campus on the last day of class before summer vacation, but the high anxiety faded after a police search turned up nothing.

“We’ve pretty much searched the building,” Thornton Police spokesman Matt Barnes said outside Thornton High School in the northern Denver suburbs. “We’ve not located anything.”

No injuries were reported, and there were no reports of gunfire after the report of a man with a rifle.

Before the all clear, dozens of

all clear.

“I’m freaking out,” said Michelle Copeland, who was outside the school awaiting word on her 16-year-old son, Timothy Romero, a sophomore. “My knees are shaking. What if it’s an automatic gun? Any gun, it doesn’t matter.”

She said Timothy texted her from gym class saying the school was on lockdown and heavily armed police were inside.

Amy Irsik said she sped to the school, crying all the way, after her 17-year-old son David sent her a text saying the school was on lockdown after the report of an armed man. “I love you,” the text ended.

Student Ezequiel Cordova said he left the building at the order of police as an automated message came on the public address system announcing a security problem.

State parole system audit expanded The associated press

DENVER

An audit of Colorado’s parole system is being expanded to review whether budget issues are keeping parole officers from placing some high-risk parolees under intensive supervision because of a cap on expenses.

Roger Werholtz, interim director of the Colorado Department of Corrections, has asked the National Institute of Corrections to expand the scope of its audit into the state’s parole operations to cover budget issues, spokeswoman Alison Morgan said Thursday.

The parole division has been under scrutiny since the killing of prisons chief Tom Clements by a parolee in March.

Documents obtained by The Denver Post through an open-

records request show that the state has, in some cases, been unable to place or keep parolees under intensive supervision because of budget limitations on the program, including limits on the use of electronic monitoring devices.

On March 14, parolee Evan Ebel slipped off his ankle monitoring bracelet and three days later fatally shot Denver pizza delivery driver Nathan Leon, authorities believe. He then killed Clements at his home on March 19, investigators said.

It took five days after Ebel removed the bracelet for his parole officer to visit his Commerce City home and six days for a warrant to be issued for his arrest. He was fatally wounded March 21 in a shootout with Texas officials.

On Wednesday, Tim Hand,

the state’s director of parole, was put on a paid leave of absence.

Hand has not returned telephone calls seeking comment.

Morgan declined to discuss the reasons Hand was placed on leave.

Hand told The Denver Post in March that prisoners are closely managed when they are first released, but 800 new people are coming out of prison every month, straining department resources. He later said budget issues are not a factor in determining who is monitored electronically, the primary tool the department uses to ensure parolees comply with the terms of their release.

Morgan said the audit will also review whether parole officers are properly classifying the risk that parolees pose to the public.

A Pentecostal pastor is complaining after officials at the Denver County Jail banned baptism of inmates in a bathtub-sized tank, saying he was told to sprinkle converts with water instead.

Maurice Gordon said the jail previously allowed him to perform the Christian ceremony of total immersion in a portable tank but canceled it after a baptism in March, saying he needed supervision from a jail chaplain.

Gordon said he has baptized Denver County Jail inmates in his own glass fiber tank every few weeks for 26 years, but it hasn’t been allowed for a couple of months. He believes the dry spell signals a permanent new policy, although jail officials deny it.

County Jail Division Chief Elias Diggins said the jail will continue the practice but on its own terms.

Diggins said the jail chaplain retired a few weeks ago and hasn’t been replaced. He said a jail chaplain must serve as a liaison with outside ministers to ensure the lock-up’s internal procedures are followed. Diggins said some inmates aren’t allowed to occupy the same room for safety reasons.

“We do all we can to make sure all inmates’ religious practices are respected. Sometimes patience is needed,” he said.

Diggins said he’s still trying to arrange for a visiting or temporary jail chaplain.

According to The Denver Post, 12 inmates are waiting to be baptized.

“We have baptized over a thou-

sand men. Once about every three weeks, we baptize men. And we just teach the basic fundamental things: Repent, be baptized and receive the Holy Spirit,” Gordon said.

“Apparently some have complained because we, the team, baptize in the old-fashioned way, by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ,” Gordon said.

“That’s what the Bible teaches.

That’s the bottom line. Acts 2.

These men have basic fundamental religious rights.”

Gordon said he doesn’t need a jail chaplain. His team brings the tank, fills it up and mops up afterward.

Gordon said he helped his first inmate more than 50 years ago and wants to continue. He said baptism delayed, like justice, is baptism denied.

A former Rhode Island mayor bowed out of Colorado’s governor’s race after three days as a candidate.

Stephen P. Laffey said he is deferring to former Rep. Tom Tancredo, who announced Thursday that he intended to run on the Republican ticket.

Laffey said he agrees with most of Tancredo’s positions and there was no need to run.

“When I entered this race there was no one else who had the capability to bring the case for Limited Government, Freedom and Jobs to the people of Colorado,” Laffey said in a statement. “In this case, Tom and I agree on much, plus he is a good and honorable man, has a great background for the job, 20968505

Teenager to be tried as an adult in school bomb case BOULDER

A 16-year-old boy accused of bringing an explosive device to his Lafayette high school was charged Friday with firstdegree attempted murder and will be prosecuted as an adult.

Andrew de Bartolome also is charged with use of explosives, possession of an explosive or incendiary device and menacing, all felonies, the Boulder Daily Camera reported. He is being held on $100,000 bail.

Prosecutor Peggy Jessel said the teen had a long-term interest in explosives, and “there were steps being taken for a larger plan.”

De Bartolome is accused of bringing the device to Centaurus High School in Lafayette on May 13, forcing the evacuation of the school and a nearby road for several hours. A teacher found the explosive in a paper bag and took it outside.

Jim Kennedy, de Bartolome’s attorney, has filed a motion to have the case sent to juvenile court.

“He’s a 16-year-old boy who’s never been in trouble,” he said. “No one was hurt.”

Pueblo shuts off gas pumps for nonprofit organizations PUEBLO

Pueblo is shutting off the gas pumps for nonprofit organizations at city-owned maintenance shops after the Colorado Department of Revenue said it was illegal.

City Manager Sam Azad said he has notified a list of 17 local nonprofits that the city pumps no longer are open to them.

The groups paid for their own fuel, but it was tax-free, which allowed them to avoid having to pay the combined 18-cent federal gas tax and 23-cent state tax on each gallon.

The practice has been going on for years, Azad said.

Former City Manager Lew Quigley, who became manager in 1987 and offered the service, said the Colorado law makes no sense.

“We were already helping

support those organizations anyway,” he told the Pueblo Chieftain.

Daria Serna, a spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Revenue, said the law restricts the tax-free fuel to government vehicles and government services only.

Forest Service employees cleaning up illegal dumps DURANGO

Castoffs include old vehicles, refrigerators, water heaters, couches and electronics.

“There are people who take an old television into the woods for target practice,” Janowiak said.

Brewers team up to help military families Michael Felberbaum The associated Press

RICHMOND, Va.

Craft breweries from around the country are toasting the troops with a beer aged with a unique ingredient that symbolizes America’s pastime — baseball bats.

Nine different brewers collaborated to create Homefront IPA, all using the same recipe, complete with orange peel and unfinished maple Louisville Sluggers.

Toward the end of the fermentation process the beer soaks in a tank with the maple bats.

All proceeds from the beer, which is being released for Memorial Day, will be donated to Operation Homefront, a national group that provides emergency financial assistance to military families.

The Hops for Heroes project began in 2011 when Chris Ray, co-founder of Center of the Universe Brewing Co. in suburban Richmond, was pitching for the Seattle Mariners.

A home brewer at the time, Ray wanted to partner with a local brewery to create a charity beer. Together with Fremont Brewing Co., in Seattle, and his brother, Phil, they developed the recipe and chose the charity Operation Homefront, which was suggested by Ray’s childhood friend that served as a soldier in Afghanistan.

“I was always taught when I was growing up to help out the people that help you,” Ray said while talking about the beer at The Diamond, home of the Flying Squirrels minor league baseball team. “They’re putting their lives on the line for us every day.

The least we can do is help them keep their car on the road or help them keep their house.”

In addition to Center of the Universe and Fremont Brewing, the list of participating breweries has grown to include Cigar City Brewing, in Tampa, Fla.; Sly Fox Brewing Co. in Pottstown, Pa.; Perennial Artisan Ales in St. Louis; 21st Amendment Brewery, in San Francisco; the Phoenix Ale Brewery, in Phoenix; Left Hand Brewing Co., in Longmont; and Stone Brewing Co., in Escondido, Calif. Other sponsors within the craft brewing industry provided ingredients and supplies to help brewers keep their costs down and increase the amount of money raised for the cause.

Last year, the project helped raise $165,000, with additional donations to the group coming in because of the beer project, Ray said. After the beer is brewed, the bats also are dried and auctioned off.

The breweries will sell the beer in bottles and kegs in their areas, with all proceeds being donated to local chapters of the charity.

Bottles in the Richmond market even include American flag caps.

“It doesn’t really get any more Americana than beer, baseball and America’s troops,” Ray said.

While Ray is glad more breweries are participating in the project, he said he wants it to grow slowly to keep the beer novel.

Aaron Taylor, spokesman for Operation Homefront, said the project is a great opportunity for folks to support military families and have a good time.

“It’s a win-win for everybody,” said Taylor.

President Barack Obama left plenty of ambiguity in new policy guidelines that he says will restrict how and when the U.S. can launch targeted drone strikes, leaving himself significant power regarding how and when the weapons can be deployed.

National security experts said it’s imperative to leave Obama some room in the guidelines, given the evolving fight against terrorism. But civil rights advocates argue too little has been revealed about the program to ensure its legality, even as the president takes steps to remove some of the secrecy.

“Obama said that there would be more limits on targeted killings, a step in the right direction,” said Kenneth Roth, executive director at Human Rights Watch. “But a mere promise that the U.S. will work within established guidelines that remain secret provides little confidence that the U.S. is complying with

international law.”

An unclassified version of the newly established drone guidelines was made public Thursday in conjunction with Obama’s wideranging address on U.S. counterterrorism policies. Congress’ intelligence committees and the Capitol Hill leadership have been briefed on the more detailed, classified policies, but because those documents are secret, there’s no way of knowing how much more clarity they provide.

The president already has been using some of the guidelines to determine when to launch drone strikes, administration officials said. Codifying the strictest standards, they argue, ultimately will reduce the number of approved attacks.

Among the newly public rules is a preference for capturing suspects instead of killing them, which gives the U.S. an opportunity to gather intelligence and disrupt terrorist plots. The guidelines also state that a target must pose a continuing and imminent threat to the U.S. However, the public guidelines don’t spell out how the U.S. determines whether capture is feasible, nor does it define what

constitutes an imminent threat.

Former State Department official James Andrew Lewis said Obama must retain some flexibility, given the fluid threats facing the U.S. “The use of force and engagement of force always require a degree of discretion,” said Lewis, now a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “We don’t want to change that.”

The guidelines also mandate that the U.S. have “near certainty” that no civilians will be killed in a strike. Civilian deaths, particularly in Pakistan, have angered local populations and contributed to a rise in anti-American sentiments in the volatile region.

Shahzad Akbar, a Pakistani lawyer who has filed many court cases on behalf of drone victims’ families, said that while he appreciated Obama’s concern about civilian casualties, he wasn’t confident the new guidelines would change U.S. actions.

“The problem remains the same because there is no transparency and accountability for the CIA because it will remain inside the system and not be visible to outsiders,” he said.

Oklahoma a hotspot for disasters Seth Borenstein

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON

Many states get hit frequently with tornadoes and other natural catastrophes, but Oklahoma is Disaster Central.

The twister that devastated Moore, Okla., was the 74th presidential disaster declared in the Sooner state in the past 60 years.

Only much-larger and morepopulous California and Texas have had more.

The state is No. 1 in tornado disasters and No. 3 for flooding, according to a database of presidential disaster declarations handled by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. And those figures don’t include drought, which is handled by a different agency.

The explanation is partly atmospheric conditions that trigger twisters and flooding, partly where people live and how they build their homes and partly politics and bureaucratic skill, according to disaster experts. Even one of the state’s U.S. senators said recently that because of the way federal guidelines are written, Oklahoma is getting disaster aid more often than it needs.

Of the 25 U.S. counties that have been declared disasters the most times since 1953, nine are in Oklahoma, the highest total of any state.

Oklahoma County has been on the disaster list 38 times, more than the entire state of New Jersey. Caddo County, just west of the Oklahoma City metro area, has been named a federal disaster area nine times since 2007,

with a litany of woe that includes twisters, floods, ice storms, a blizzard and violent winds.

“Things happen around here,” Tulsa, Okla.-based disaster consultant Ann Patton said. “Of course, sometimes it can make you stronger.”

When disaster declarations are measured on a per-person basis, Oklahoma gets nearly three times the national average.

When they are computed based on how much land is in a state, it gets twice the national average, according to an analysis of FEMA records.

The atmospheric explanation is pretty basic: “Oklahoma really is the bull’s-eye for awful tornadoes,” said Mike Lindell, director of the Hazard Reduction and Recovery Center at Texas A&M University.

Bridge collapses in Northwest Truck bumps against framework; cars fall into river but none hurt Manuel Valdes and Mike Baker THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOUNT VERNON, WASH.

A trucker was hauling a load of drilling equipment when his load bumped against the steel framework over an Interstate 5 bridge. He looked in his rearview mirror and watched in horror as the span collapsed into the water behind him. Two vehicles fell into the icy Skagit River.

Amazingly, nobody was killed. The three people who fell into the water escaped with only minor injuries.

Officials are trying to find out whether the spectacular collapse of a bridge on one of the West’s most important roadways was a fluke — or a sign of a bigger problem with thousands of bridges across the U.S. Authorities focused first on trying to find a temporary span for the Skagit, though it won’t come in time for the tens of thousands of Memorial Day vacationers who would travel between Canada and Seattle.

“You cannot overstate the importance of this corridor to Washington state,” Gov. Jay

Inslee said. Traffic on I-5 and surrounding roads was backed up for miles, a situation the governor said would continue indefinitely.

Officials were looking for a temporary, pre-fabricated bridge to replace the 160-foot section that failed, Inslee said Friday. If one is found, it could be in place in weeks. If not, it could be months before a replacement can be built, the governor said.

The spectacular collapse unfolded at about 7 p.m. Thursday on the north end of the four-lane bridge near Mount Vernon, about 60 miles north of Seattle and 40 miles south of the Canada border.

“He looked in the mirrors and it just dropped out of sight,” Cynthia Scott, the wife of truck driver William Scott, said from the couple’s home near Spruce Grove, Alberta. “I spoke to him seconds after it happened. He was just horrified.”

The truck driver works for Mullen Trucking in Alberta, the Washington State Patrol said.

The tractor-trailer was hauling a housing for drilling equipment southbound when the top right

front corner of the load struck several of the bridge’s trusses, the patrol said.

Scott, 41, remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators. He voluntarily gave a blood sample for an alcohol test and was not arrested.

Scott, has been driving truck for 20 years and hauling specialized loads for more than 10.

“He gets safety awards, safety bonuses ... for doing all these checks, for hiring the right pilot cars and pole cars,” his wife said.

Initially, it wasn’t clear if the bridge just gave way on its own.

But Washington State Patrol Chief John Batiste blamed it on the too-tall load. The vertical clearance from the roadway to the beam is 14.6 feet.

The truck made it off the bridge, but two other vehicles went into the water about 25 feet below as the structure crumbled.

Dan Sligh and his wife were in their pickup heading to a camping trip when he said the bridge before them disappeared in a “big puff of dust.”

“I hit the brakes, and we went off,” Sligh told reporters from a hospital.

The Boy Scouts of America will get no reprieve from controversy after a contentious vote to accept openly gay boys as Scouts.

Dismayed conservatives already are looking at alternative youth groups as they predict a mass exodus from the BSA. Gay-rights supporters vowed Friday to maintain pressure on the Scouts to end the still-inplace ban on gay adults serving as leaders.

He said the HRC, in its annual rankings of corporate policies on workplace fairness, would deduct points from companies that donate to the Boy Scouts until the ban on gay adults is lifted.

In California, gay-rights leaders said they would continue urging passage of a bill pending in the Legislature that would make the BSA ineligible for nonprofit tax breaks because of the remaining ban.

The Boy Scouts’ chief executive, Wayne Brock, pleaded for the Scouting community to reunite after the divisive debate that led to Thursday’s vote by the BSA’s National Council. The

proposal to lift the ban on openly gay youth — while keeping the ban on gay adults — was supported by about 60 percent of the council’s 1,400 voting members.

However, Brock’s plea failed to sway some conservative religious leaders whose denominations sponsor many Scout units and who consider same-sex relationships immoral.

“Frankly, I can’t imagine a Southern Baptist pastor who would continue to allow his church to sponsor a Boy Scout troop under these new rules,” Richard Land, a senior Southern Baptist Conference official, told the SBC’s news agency,

Judge: Arizona sheriff racially profiling The Associated Press

AROUND THE NATION PHOENIX

A federal judge ruled Friday that the office of America’s selfproclaimed toughest sheriff systematically singled out Latinos in its trademark immigration patrols, marking the first finding by a court that the agency racially profiles people.

The 142-page decision by U.S. District Judge Murray Snow in Phoenix backs up allegations that Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s critics have made for years that his officers rely on race in their immigration enforcement.

Snow, whose ruling came more than eight months after a seven-day nonjury trial on the subject, also ruled Arpaio’s deputies unreasonably prolonged the detentions of people who were pulled over.

Stanley Young, the lead lawyer who argued the case against Arpaio, said Snow set a hearing for June 14 where he will hear from the two sides on how to make sure the orders in the ruling are carried out.

Travel forecast for summer: Better but still no blowout NEW YORK

This summer, high rollers are flying to lavish hot spots for their vacations. The rest of us are driving to less luxurious places like nearby campgrounds.

The good news: At some U.S. campgrounds these days,

Americans’ plans for summer travel mirror the current state of the economy. Rising home prices and a soaring stock market are encouraging those at the top of the income ladder to take more extravagant trips. But large segments of the population are staying close to home because wages are stagnant, rents are high and the end of the payroll tax holiday has shrunk their take-home pay.

Obama says sexual assault threatens trust in military ANNAPOLIS, Md.

With a growing sexual assault epidemic staining the military, President Barack Obama urged U.S. Naval Academy graduates Friday to remember their honor depends on what they do when nobody is looking and said the crime has “no place in the greatest military on earth.”

The commander in chief congratulated the 1,047 midshipmen graduating at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, telling the 841 men and 206 women that they have proven themselves morally by meeting rigorous standards at the academy. But Obama ended his 20-minute address by recognizing “how the misconduct of some can have effects that ripple far and wide.”

“Those who commit sexual assault are not only committing a crime, they threaten the trust and discipline that makes our military strong,” Obama said. “That’s why we have to be determined to stop these crimes, because they’ve got no place in the greatest military on Earth.”

Syria regime OKs peace talks Still skepticism despite government’s agreement to attend conference BEIRUT

Syria targeted Israeli jeep headed to rebels UNITED NATIONS

Syria said it targeted an Israeli vehicle that crossed a ceasefire line into its territory earlier this week because it was heading toward a village with a large rebel presence.

In a letter to the U.N. Security Council circulated Friday, Syria’s U.N. Ambassador Bashar Ja’afari said his country exercised its right to selfdefense and would respond immediately to any other violation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Syria accused Israel of violating the U.N. Charter and the separation of forces agreement that followed the 1973 Arab-Israeli war when it sent the vehicle into Syrian territory and launched two missiles Tuesday. He said Syria expects the Security Council “to put an end to Israel’s violations.”

Israel said an Israeli jeep came under fire during an overnight patrol on its side of the cease-fire line in the Golan Heights.

Syria claimed it destroyed the vehicle, but Israel said the jeep suffered only minor damage and no one was hurt. Israel said it returned fire at the source and scored a “direct hit.”

sian allies and agreeing to participate, Assad gains more time to continue with his crackdown on the rebels.

The regime has been emboldened by recent successes in the war, including advances in the strategic town of Qusair near the border with Lebanon.

20968575

Syria’s government has agreed to attend a U.S.-Russian-brokered peace conference, according to Moscow. While this development at first glance might seem to be a step toward ending the civil war, strong skepticism persists on both sides.

Doubting that Damascus is serious and may be stalling while government forces make battlefield gains, the Syrian opposition has demanded guarantees that President Bashar Assad’s departure top the agenda; Russia questioned whether the fragmented opposition is capable of negotiating with one voice.

The war has killed more than 70,000 people, and both sides are entrenched firmly in their positions and appear unwilling to compromise to stop the carnage and chaos engulfing the country.

“We are not willing to enter a tunnel with no guarantees of a light at the end of that tunnel,” said Muhieddine Lathkani, a London-based Syrian opposition figure. “There’s still a lot of fogginess surrounding the talks, and we are waiting for some answers,” he said in a telephone interview.

Much about the conference remains up in the air, including

the date, the agenda, the timetable and the participants. Officials have said it should be held in June.

The U.S. is working to convince Syrian rebels to attend, and the Russians have been pressing Assad’s regime to take part as well.

U.S. officials said Secretary of State John Kerry will extend a seven-day trip through the Middle East and Africa by one day to meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Monday to discuss their joint initiative.

The opposition is deeply suspicious about Assad’s intention to hold serious peace talks, and the fact that the announcement was made by the Russians — Assad’s government has not issued a definitive statement of its own — added to the skepticism.

“We would like to hear from the spokesman of the Syrian government. Why is Russia speaking on behalf of Syria?” opposition figure Louay Safi said.

Assad already has indicated he will stay in power at least until the 2014 presidential election in Syria and has nothing to lose by agreeing to take part in the conference or at least going through the motions.

Toronto mayor denies crack use UK to review security TORONTO

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford denied Friday that he smokes crack cocaine and said he is not an addict after a video purported to show him using the drug. The mayor of Canada’s largest city did not say whether he ever has used crack.

Ford did not take questions from reporters at a news conference at City Hall held after a week of silence and after close allies released a letter urging him to address the video. The video apparently shows Ford smoking crack.

“I do not use crack cocaine, nor am I an addict of crack cocaine,” Ford said. “As for a video, I cannot comment on a video that I have never seen or does not exist.”

Ford had been ducking the media and his only comments before Friday on the scandal came a week ago, a day after the story broke, when he called the crack smoking allegations “ridiculous” and said the Toronto Star newspaper was out to get him.

Ford said he had kept quiet because his lawyer advised him “not to say a word.”

The video has not been released publicly, and its authenticity has not been verified. Reports on gossip website

Gawker and in the Toronto Star claimed it was taken by men who said they had sold the drug to Ford. The Associated Press hasn’t seen the video.

The Star reported that two journalists had watched a video that appears to show Ford sitting in a chair and inhaling from what appears to be a glass crack pipe. The Star said it did not obtain the video or pay to watch it. Gawker and the Star said the video was shown to them by a drug dealer who had been trying to sell it for a six-figure sum.

The Star also reported that Ford allegedly made a racist remark about the high school football students he coached.

Ford criticized the media for judging him.

“It is most unfortunate, very unfortunate, that my colleagues and the great people of this city have been exposed to the fact that I’ve been judged by the media without any evidence,” Ford said.

City Councillor Glenn De Baeremaeker said he was profoundly disappointed in the mayor’s statement and called on Ford to resign. De Baeremaeker said he believes the reports about Ford’s alleged drug use and thinks Ford’s tenure is over.

“I don’t believe the mayor,” he said. “He should resign and then go seek help.”

De Baeremaeker said he’s observed erratic behavior from the mayor.

“The mayor is just imploding,” he said. “The mayor had an opportunity to acknowledge that perhaps he does have a problem, and to take a leave of absence, perhaps to take care of himself and his family. Instead, he went on the attack.”

LONDON

Both of the suspects accused of butchering a British soldier during broad daylight on a London street long had been on the radar of Britain’s domestic spy agency, though investigators said it would have been nearly impossible to predict that the men were on the verge of a brutal killing.

Still, counter-terrorism officials said they are reviewing what — if any — lessons can be gleaned from the information they had leading up to the slaying Wednesday.

Authorities in the U.S. similarly have pledged to review their procedures in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing, with the Boston police commissioner saying that cities should consider deploying more undercover officers and installing more surveillance cameras.

The British review comes amid an outpouring of grief regarding Wednesday’s slaughter of 25-year-old Lee Rigby, of the 2nd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. Rigby, who had a 2-year-old son, had served in Afghanistan. Detectives say they do not think the attackers knew him or that he specifically was targeted, but they still are investigating.

“We are looking at decisions that were made and reviewing whether anything different could have been done,” said a British counter-terrorism official who spoke on condition of

anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about the investigation. “But you can’t put everyone under surveillance who comes on to the radar.”

Prime Minister David Cameron said Thursday that the Intelligence and Security Committee would review the work of agencies such as Britain’s domestic spy agency, MI5, in the wake of the attack “as is the normal practice in these sorts of cases.”

In Britain, security officials operate under the “principle of proportionality,” which means there needs to a compelling reason before any type of surveillance is undertaken.

Surveillance can range from watching a person’s movements to intercepting phone calls and electronic communication. The greater the level of intrusion into a person’s privacy, the higher the level of government approval needed.

Although British police have not named either suspect — both are recovering from their injuries after being shot by police after the killing — they had been known to law enforcement officers for as long as six years, the counterterrorism official said.

One of the men — seen wielding a bloody butcher knife in video footage after the attack — was identified as Michael Adebolajo by two Muslim hardliners, Anjem Choudary and Omar Bakri Muhammad, who said they knew him as a Muslim convert who took part in demonstrations by a banned radical group.

Hillman bulks up Steamboat grad named CSU assistant soccer coach for 2nd Broncos season Luke Graham

STEAMBOAT TODAY

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

At this point, the walls of the Colorado State University women’s soccer offices are empty, begging to be filled.

“You sit in the office, and there is nothing on the wall,” said Kelly Labor, a 2006 graduate of Steamboat Springs High School. “There has not been any decorating to do.

We don’t have trophies, pictures or articles. It’s basically a blank book. But we’re thinking about filling that book.”

The former Steamboat allstate and Conference Player of the Year has started to make a rapid climb up the coaching ladder.

After finishing her playing career at University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and spending the past three seasons as an assistant coach at Regis University, Labor is moving to her biggest challenge yet.

In January, Colorado State announced it would add women’s soccer as a Division I sport. In February, it hired longtime University of Colorado coach Bill Hempen. In March, Hempen hired Labor.

“I accepted the position before I knew how much I was getting paid,” Labor said.

“I was actually driving home from a Regis game when Bill called. He said, ‘Do you want to come to CSU?’ I said, ‘Absolutely.’”

The move follows Labor’s lifelong love of the sport.

In 2006, Labor’s freshman year at Regis, she finished as an all-region selection, was second in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference in points and was the conference’s Freshman of the Year.

It was a breakout start to what looked like a tremendous career.

But Labor wanted more.

She wanted to play Division I soccer.

So she transferred to UNLV. Although she wasn’t a star for the Rebels, she was a steady player and eventually earned a degree in psychology.

After her playing days were done, Labor wanted to go to graduate school and coach.

She found that opportunity back at Regis.

She earned her master’s

Former Steamboat Springs soccer player Kelly Labor talks to her U15 girls team in the State Cup semifinals. Labor, a 2006 Steamboat graduate, was named an assistant coach at Colorado State University. Labor will help start the program in Fort Collins, its first year in Division I soccer.

degree in industrial organizational psychology, a degree essentially designed for coaching in the business world.

Labor said she was interested in getting into business but wanted to keep coaching. She had known CSU’s Hempen from when she played for the Olympic Development Program in high school. She also had contact with him out of high school and when she transferred to UNLV. She was coaching an Olympic Development Program in Las Vegas when she saw Hempen. Later, at a coaches conference in Indianapolis, Labor reached out to Hempen about an opening on his staff.

At the time, Labor was coaching club soccer in Westminster.

“To start a program is a rare opportunity these days,” Labor said. “There won’t be a whole lot more startup programs. And Bill is a phenomenal coach. That was a huge draw for me to work for a coach like that.”

Hempen started the program at Duke, made the 1992 National Championship game

and helped the University of Colorado to its lone Big 12 championship in 2003. He ranks 17th in NCAA Division I history for career wins.

After finding out in March that she would be joining Hempen, Labor has been a road warrior recruiting from San Diego to Seattle.

The Rams, which will play in the Mountain West Conference next year, will comprise mostly transfer players.

One would think expectations would be tempered with a first-year Division I program, but Labor said that’s absolutely not the case.

She said the team plans to be among the top eight in the conference to make the endof-season conference tournament.

“We want to be competitive right out of the gate,” she said.

“Get rid of all excuses that we’re a first-year program, and we’ve made it clear to recruits and those in the athletic program. We want kids that want to win right away.”

Labor admits some day she’d like to move on and be

the head coach at a Division I school.

For now, though, she’s content learning under Hempen at a school that is hungry to grow a winner.

“Division I is the atmosphere I want and I need,” she said. “It’s that type of athlete that you recruit to a Division I. That’s who I need to coach.

They love the game, they love competing, they love the sacrifice it takes to be the best. I need that to have my passion for the game.”

Coach John Fox declared in the aftermath of Denver’s playoff loss to Baltimore that the Broncos needed to bulk up their backfield.

Turns out they didn’t have to draft Wisconsin running back Montee Ball to accomplish that feat.

Ronnie Hillman, who was lucky to tip the scales at 180 pounds in January, is pushing 200 pounds in his quest to get more playing time in 2013. That extra mass and muscle should help him to better take on blitzers and linebackers in his second season in the NFL. Hillman’s rookie season was marred by a pulled hamstring in camp and weight loss during the season, two factors that combined to keep him from honing his blitz pickup skills that are a prerequisite for playing alongside Peyton Manning.

So, Hillman hit the weights during the winter, working out this offseason at Athletic Gaines in Los Angeles, where Seattle’s Marshawn Lynch, Detroit’s Reggie Bush and Jacksonville’s Maurice JonesDrew also train, and he posted pictures on his Instagram account showing his newly buffed body.

At 20, Hillman was the youngest player in the league last year, and he got off to a sputtering start because of his hamstring troubles. He finished with 330 yards and a touchdown to go with a 3.9-yard average.

When Knowshon Moreno joined Willis McGahee on the sideline with a knee injury in that playoff game against the Ravens, the Broncos turned to Hillman, who carried 22 times for 83 yards without a fumble but couldn’t get first downs in the fourth quarter to run out the clock, and the Broncos lost in double overtime.

Rockies beat Giants twice in week Pacers steal Game 2 Janie McCauley

The Associated press

SAN FRANCISCO

Michael Cuddyer homered and hit a two-run double after coming off the disabled list, Tyler Chatwood beat San Francisco for the second time in seven days and the Colorado Rockies blanked the Giants, 5-0, on Friday night.

Carlos Gonzalez also hit a solo homer and D.J. LeMahieu added an RBI single as the Rockies beat two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum for the second time in a week.

The Rockies, swept in a threegame series at AT&T Park last month, won their fourth in a row in the rivalry for the first time since 2006.

Cuddyer’s two-out double in the first gave Colorado a quick cushion, then he connected for his eighth home run with a solo shot leading off the sixth.

He also scored three runs after returning to the Rockies’ lineup from the 15-day disabled list.

Cuddyer, batting fifth and playing right field after missing time with an inflamed cervical disk, went 2 for 4 with three RBIs. Gonzalez homered leading off the eighth against Sandy Rosario, Gonzalez’s team-leading 12th clout.

The Rockies snapped a ninegame losing streak at AT&T Park with their first win since Aug. 10, 2012. San Francisco was shut out at home for the first time since that same game, also started and won by Chatwood.

Lincecum struck out eight and walked two in seven innings in his second consecutive start against Colorado and third in all this year.

The right-hander allowed four runs and seven hits after taking the loss against the Rockies at Coors Field last Saturday.

He has defeats in four of his past five decisions. He has allowed 16 earned runs in his past 18 innings against the Rockies this season for an 8.00 ERA. Chatwood allowed four hits in six scoreless innings, struck out four and walked one in another lopsided Rockies result against the reigning World Series champions. Colorado shut out San Francisco, 5-0, in the series finale in Denver last Sunday.

MIAMI

David West’s right hand helped the Indiana Pacers grab home-court advantage in the Eastern Conference finals.

Roy Hibbert scored 29 points, West knocked away two passes

by LeBron James for huge turnovers in the final minute and the Pacers evened the East title series with a 97-93 victory against the Miami Heat in Game 2 of the series Friday night.

Paul George scored 22 points, George Hill added 18 and West finished with 13 for the Pacers, who handed the Heat just their fourth loss in their last 50 games.

The series resumes with Game 3 on Sunday night in Indianapolis.

James scored 36 points for the Heat, who got 17 points from Chris Bosh and 14 from Dwyane Wade. The Heat led, 88-84, in the fourth quarter, then were outscored, 13-5, the rest of the way.

And West was the biggest reason.

With Indiana up, 95-93, West intercepted a pass that James was throwing to Ray Allen with 43 seconds left, but the Pacers didn’t even get a shot off on the ensuing possession. In fact, Indiana may have gotten a bit lucky that the shot clock expired with the ball rolling around — if Wade had collected the ball in time, he had Mario Chalmers all alone at the other end in position to almost certainly tie the game.

On the next Miami possession, James drove to the right block, spun and tried passing out toward the perimeter.

He released the ball, and West got his right hand on it to knock it off-course. Immediately afterward, West took that same hand and extended it skyward in celebration.

The Pacers — just as they did in the second-round series last year — knew they were winning Game 2 in Miami. Hill made two free throws with 8.3 seconds left to clinch it, and just like that, Miami’s home-court advantage was gone.

Penguins rip Senators, move to conference finals Will Graves

The associated press

PITTSBURGH

The Pittsburgh Penguins expected desperation.

Instead, the listless Ottawa Senators offered little more than resignation.

Swarming the Senators from the opening faceoff, Pittsburgh roared to a 6-2 victory Friday night in Game 5 of the Eastern conference semifinals to take the best-of-seven series, 4-1.

James Neal picked up his first postseason hat trick as the Penguins capped a five-game onslaught against one of the NHL’s best defensive teams to stroll into the conference finals.

Pittsburgh scored 22 goals in the series while ending Ottawa’s season for the third time in five years.

“We gave them the respect they deserved and we came out and I think we surprised ourselves,” Neal said. “We played with a lot of speed and got it behind them and got to the net.”

And more importantly, into the net.

Kris Letang, Evgeni Malkin and Brenden Morrow also scored, and Tomas Vokoun made 29 saves to help give topseeded Pittsburgh a few days of rest before facing Boston or the New York Rangers in the con-

ference finals.

The Penguins will take the time off, but considering the way they’re rolling at the moment, they wouldn’t mind if the next round started sooner rather than later.

“We got to our game a lot,” Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby said. “The depth we showed, different guys chipping in. The whole way through we didn’t have many lulls where we lost momentum at any point.”

Certainly not against the overmatched Senators. Milan Michalek and Kyle Turris scored for Ottawa and Craig Anderson stopped 27 shots, but the Senators simply couldn’t keep up.

“I hope (the Penguins) don’t bill us for the clinic,” Ottawa coach Paul MacLean said. “But they really showed the step you have to take to continue to play in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.”

The Penguins anticipated taking Ottawa’s best shot as the Senators tried to extend their season for at least another 48 hours. It never happened. Not even close.

Outskated, outshot and outworked from the opening faceoff, the Senators put up little resistance as Pittsburgh moved on to the conference finals for the first time since 2009, when the franchise won its third Stanley Cup.

3 US men qualify in Paris The associated press

PARIS

tennis

Three U.S. men have qualified for the French Open for the first time in more than 30 years.

Jack Sock, of Lincoln, Neb., Denis Kudla, of Arlington, Va., and Steve Johnson, of Orange, Calif., all won their qualifying matches Friday to earn berths in the main draw at Roland Garros.

A trio of American men hadn’t done that together in Paris since 1982, when Charles Strode, Craig Wittus and Derek

Tarr qualified. That year, all three lost in the first round of the main tournament.

Kudla tweeted: “Americans on clay. We are not that bad!”

Sock’s first opponent will be Guillermo Garcia-Lopez, of Spain, Kudla meets Jan Hajek, of the Czech Republic, and Johnson plays Albert Montanes, of Spain.

“Knowing I have 0 cred on the doping issue — I still can’t help but think, ‘really Di Luca? Are you that ... stupid??” Armstrong tweeted, adding an expletive.

It’s the second doping case from this year’s Giro, after French rider Sylvain Georges tested positive for the banned stimulant Heptaminol in a urine sample after the seventh stage.

The 28-year-old AG2R La Mondiale rider was immediately withdrawn from the race.

The UCI provisionally suspended Di Luca pending a hearing with the Italian cycling federation and the Vini Fantini-Selle Italia team fired the 37-year-old Italian rider.

“Danilo has betrayed cycling once again,” Giro race director Mauro Vegni said. “But I’m happy it wasn’t a young rider.

Danilo belongs to a generation that has navigated through the

in the French Open before.

They’ll be joined in the main draw by Rhyne Williams, a 22-year-old from Knoxville, Tenn., who lost in qualifying but got into the tournament as a “lucky loser” — a player who sneaks into the field via someone’s withdrawal.

In the first round, Williams will face Michal Przysiezny, of Poland, who just so happens to be the player who beat Williams in qualifying.

The French Open starts Sunday.

Cyclist tests positive for EPO ROME

Cycling’s first major race since the end of the Lance Armstrong case was rattled by another high-profile positive doping test Friday.

Former Giro d’Italia winner Danilo Di Luca tested positive for EPO in a surprise check at his home before this year’s race, organizers said.

If confirmed in a backup “B” sample, Di Luca risks a lifetime ban since this is his third offense.

“I wasn’t expecting this. It was a surprise for me. I’m disappointed,” Di Luca said upon leaving his team’s hotel in northern Italy. “I’ll ask for the backup analysis, then we can talk again.”

Armstrong appeared surprised, too.

doping system.”

After being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles, Armstrong confessed to doping in a TV interview in January with Oprah Winfrey. While many of Armstrong’s former teammates have come forward to say they doped, some of the riders who supported the Texan during his career continue to race.

Longtime Armstrong lieutenant Yaroslav Popovych, a Ukrainian rider with the RadioShackLeopard team, is 139th overall in the Giro.

The test on Di Luca was carried out April 29, five days before the Giro started, and the result drew a rebuke from Vini Fantini team director Luca Scinto.

“Di Luca is an idiot. I never wanted him,” Scinto said. “Di Luca is sick. He needs to be helped.”

Bayern faces Dortmund in league final SOCCER LONDON

Bayern Munich is trying to downplay being the favorite.

While Borussia Dortmund is eager to play up its chances to pull off the upset.

Even before the start of today’s Champions League final, the German rivals are at odds in their approach to the biggest game in club soccer.

Bayern is approaching its third final in four years with the self-assured calm of a team in control after a season of dominance, while Dortmund is enjoying the role of underdog.

Bayern winger Thomas Mueller summed up his side’s mood Friday, saying that the matchup is just “a normal Champion League game.”

“Of course you get goose bumps when you’re on the pitch and we know what’s at stake.

We won’t let it drive us crazy though,” the 23-year-old said.

Bayern captain Philipp Lahm felt the same way.

“The players are the right

age now, the right character.

There’s nothing against us winning tomorrow,” said Lahm, who added that he wouldn’t be surprised if Bayern reached a fourth final in five years next season.

Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp is happy with one.

“If this is the only final in my life, this is the perfect place for it, and this is the perfect opponent,” said Klopp, who spoke of the honor of playing at Wembley Stadium.

Klopp said it was clear his team enters as the underdog, but he added that his players were determined to make the most of their opportunity.

“We will approach the game with unbridled enthusiasm, with huge motivation for the task and with the knowledge it can all go to pieces,” Klopp said.

“But people have climbed Mount Everest knowing that they could fall 3 meters from the top and yet they still tried it.

And that’s why we’re going to try too, and hope for good weather.”

Actually, London greeted both teams with traditional British weather, and the unrelenting drizzle helped contribute to traffic problems that delayed both sides’ arrival for their run outs on the pitch.

Klopp said the team received a police escort from the airport and “if we’re to make it on time for the game tomorrow we’ll need another. So if someone knows a policeman, please ask.”

The buildup to the 101st competitive meeting between the two rivals has been overshadowed by Mario Goetze’s decision to leave Dortmund for Bayern and reports that Polish striker Robert Lewandowski is planning to follow.

For Dortmund defender Mats Hummels, the prospect of the club winning a second Champions League title was motivation enough.

“It would be great to show the players who may be going that our team can achieve great things too,” he said.

Kuchar takes the lead at Colonial Stephen Hawkins

GOLF

The Associated Press

FORT WORTH, Texas

Matt Kuchar was hoping he would be able to finish his second round Friday night at Colonial. He ended up with the lead — and a very early wakeup call.

Kuchar had only three holes to complete in what so far was a bogey-free round, with his ball already on the 16th green. He was at 10 under and described the conditions as “just perfect right now.”

But Kuchar was among 54 players still on the course when play was suspended at Hogan’s Alley because of an impending storm system. The 18 groups that didn’t finish are scheduled to resume the second round at 7:15 a.m. CDT today, just more than 12 1/2 hours after coming off the course.

“That’s a bit of a bummer,” said Kuchar, who opened with a 5-under 65. “It’s no fun to wake up at 4:30 to get out here and play three holes.”

At least Kuchar has the

lead, by one stroke over Graham DeLaet, the Canadian who shot a 67 in a morning round completed before a 2-hour, 10-minute delay just after noon because of lightning. DeLaet was at 9-under 131.

Kuchar, No. 13 in the world and the highest-ranked player in the field, took the lead with a 6-foot-birdie putt at the 457yard 14th hole and recovered from a drive into a fairway bunker on the 15th for a par while clouds darkened and thunder could be heard in the distance.

Soon after Kuchar, the WGC-Accenture Match Play winner in February, teed off at the par-3 16th, and his ball landed about 40 feet from the cup, the horn sounded ending play. It was raining heavily about 30 minutes later.

First-round leader Ryan Palmer, the Colonial member who had an opening 62, was still at 8 under after an up-anddown 12 holes Friday that he managed to play at even par.
