STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Summer lodging in Steamboat Springs is showing signs of the same trends reflected in winter bookings. People are booking closer to the time of their trip. They’re looking for value and discounts, and fewer visitors are expected. Lodging numbers could be 10 to 40 percent down this summer

Small hole causes larger concern THE VIEW FROM HERE

Rob Douglas

hen financial times get tight, citizens rightly expect their government to carefully manage every penny. Sometimes, even a hole in a freshly paved road raises questions. That was the case this week concerning a hole in the middle of a street in Steamboat Springs. If you take a ride to the corner of 11th Street and Crawford Avenue, you’ll be struck by two observations that raised questions for residents of that neighborhood. As you approach the intersection, you’ll notice that Crawford and 11th recently have been repaved. But, as you reach the intersection, you’ll also realize the brand new blacktop has a brand new hole in the middle of Crawford Avenue. The new pavement is courtesy of the city of Steamboat Springs.

MATT STENSLAND/STAFF

A hole in this freshly paved road at 11th Street and Crawford Avenue took some residents by surprise.

The new hole is courtesy of Atmos Energy. Granted, the hole in the refurbished street is small. But, given the pristine condition of the new pavement, you can’t help but notice the damage to the street. How new is the hole in relation to the resurfaced road? Residents of the neighborhood report that within days of the repaving, a crew from Atmos was applying markings

to the road and shortly thereafter began digging a hole to access the gas line under the street. Admittedly, one new hole dug on one newly repaved street seems like an inconsequential matter. After all, the hole is only several square feet and will be patched at fairly little expense. But, as commonsense dicSee Douglas, back page

During her days selling insurance in New York, Ann Wichern was a pretty good bowler. She rustled up those skills Thursday for the Intergenerational Games at the Doak Walker Care Center. The center’s fourth annual games provided senior citizens the opportunity to compete in physical events. It also gave them a chance to get togeth-

Some participants, like Wichern, enjoyed the throwback to earlier athletic days. “All these games I used to do before,” Rosa DeVault said. “I was really good at them, but as years go by …” DeVault, a longtime softball enthusiast, used to play, coach and manage. “For my last game of softball, See Seniors, page 15

COMMENTARY

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

Can the one have fun? Maureen Dowd

THE NEW YORK TIMES

The fun police are patrolling Pennsylvania Avenue. Given the serious times, the chatter goes, should Barack Obama be allowed to enjoy date night with Michelle in New York, sightseeing in Paris, golf outings in D.C., not to mention doing a promotion for Conan O’Brien and a video cameo for Stephen Colbert’s first comedy show from Iraq? With two wars and GM Dowd in bankruptcy proceedings, shouldn’t the president be glued to the grindstone, emulating W.’s gravity when he sacrificed golf in 2003 as the Iraq insurgency spread? “I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf,” the former president explained later. “I think, you

know, playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.” Actually, what sends the wrong signal is going to war with a phony justification, inadequate troop levels, insufficient armor, an inept Defense secretary and an inability to admit for years, deadly ones, that you needed counterinsurgency experts. The right signal is Michelle and her daughters being charming ambassadors, “gobsmacking” the town, as a British tabloid put it, by scarfing down fish and chips at a London pub for 7.95 pounds (about $13), like regular tourists. As a taxpayer, I am most happy to contribute to domestic and international date nights. As Arthur Schlesinger noted in his diaries, the White House tends to drive its occupants nuts. So some respite from the pressure is clearly a healthy thing. Not as much respite as W. took, bicycling and vacationing through all the disasters that Obama is now stuck fixing — spending a total of 490 days in the tumbleweed isola-

tion of Crawford and rarely deigning to sightsee as he traveled the world. Some White House officials fretted that the Obamas’ Marine One and Gulfstream magic-carpet ride to dinner in Greenwich Village and a play on Broadway was too showy. Others thought it helped show a softer side of the often dispassionate Obama. Interestingly, Dr. No, Dick Cheney, declined to tut-tut with other Republicans, saying “I don’t know why not,” when he was asked about the propriety of the president’s getaway to Broadway. A far more mature response than Sen. Chuck Grassley’s nit-twit tweets grumbling about the president urging progress on health care “while u sightseeing in Paris.” I loved the “Pretty Woman” romance of the New York tableau, the president, who had not lived an entitled life where he could afford such lavish gestures, throwing off his tie and whisking his wife, in a flirty See Dowd, page 9

Welcome back, Carter Ann Coulter

UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

Well, I’m glad that’s over! Now that our silver-tongued president has gone to Cairo to soothe Muslims’ hurt feelings, they love us again! Muslims in Pakistan expressed their appreciation for President Barack Obama’s speech by bombing a fancy hotel in Peshawar this week. Operating on the liberal premise that what Arabs really respect is weakness, Obama listed, incorrectly, Muslims’ Coulter historical contributions to mankind, such as algebra (actually that was the ancient Babylonians), the compass (that was the Chinese), pens (the Chinese again) and medical discoveries (huh?). But why be picky? All these inventions came in mighty handy Sept. 11,

MALLARD FILLMORE

2001. Thanks, Muslims!! Obama bravely told the Cairo audience that 9/11 was a very nasty thing for Muslims to do to us, but on the other hand, they are victims of colonization. Except we didn’t colonize them. The French and the British did. So why are Arabs flying planes into our buildings and not the Arc de Triomphe? (And gosh, haven’t the Arabs done a lot with the Middle East since the French and the British left!) In another sharks-to-kittens comparison, Obama said, “Now let me be clear, issues of women’s equality are by no means simply an issue for Islam.” No, he said, “the struggle for women’s equality continues in many aspects of American life.” So on one hand, 12-year-old girls are stoned to death for the crime of being raped in Muslim countries. But on the other hand, we still don’t have enough female firefighters here in America.

Delusionally, Obama bragged about his multiculti worldview, saying, “I reject the view of some in the West that a woman who chooses to cover her hair is somehow less equal.” In Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan and other Muslim countries, women “choose” to cover their heads on pain of losing them. Obama rolled out the crucial liberal talking point against America’s invasion of Iraq, saying Iraq was a “war of convenience,” while Afghanistan was a “war of necessity.” Liberals cling to this nonsense doggerel as a shield against their hypocrisy on Iraq. Either both wars were wars of necessity or both wars were wars of choice. Neither Iraq nor Afghanistan — nor any country — attacked us on 9/11. Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as many other Muslim countries, were sheltering those See Coulter, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

Arabs aren’t afraid of us; they’re afraid of Iran Coulter continued from 8 associated with the terrorists who did attack us on 9/11 — and who hoped to attack us again. The truth is, all wars are wars of choice, including the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, both World Wars, the Korean and Vietnam Wars, the Gulf War, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The modern Democrat Party chooses — really chooses, not like Saudi women “choosing” to wear hijabs — to fight no wars. But the Democrats couldn’t say that immediately after 9/11, so they pretended to support the war in Afghanistan and then had to spend the next 7 1/2 years trying to come up with a distinction between Afghanistan and Iraq. Maybe next they can tell us why fighting Hitler — who never invaded the U.S. and had no plans to do so — was a “necessity” in a way that fighting Saddam wasn’t. (Obama on

Hitler: “Nazi ideology sought to subjugate, humiliate and exterminate. It perpetrated murder on a massive scale.” Whereas Saddam Hussein was just messing with the Kuwaitis, Kurds and Shiites.) Meanwhile, Muslims throughout the Middle East are yearning for their own Saddam Husseins to be taken out by U.S. invaders so they can be liberated, too. The war-of-choice/war-of-necessity point must be as mystifying to a Muslim audience as a discussion of gay marriage. Arabs aren’t afraid of us; they’re afraid of Iran. But our aspiring Jimmy Carter had no tough words for Iran. To the contrary, in Cairo, Obama endorsed Iran’s quest for nuclear “power,” while attacking — brace yourself — America for helping remove Iranian loon Mohammad Mossadegh. The CIA’s taking out Mossadegh probably was the greatest thing that agency ever

did. This was back in 1953, before it became a collection of lawyers and paper-pushers. For Obama to be apologizing for one of the CIA’s greatest accomplishments isn’t just crazy, it’s Ramsey Clark crazy. Obama also said that it was unfair that “some countries have weapons that others do not” and proclaimed that “any nation — including Iran — should have the right to access peaceful nuclear power if it complies with its responsibilities under the Nuclear NonProliferation Treaty.” What precisely do Iranians need nuclear power for, again? They’re not exactly a manufacturing powerhouse. Iran is a primitive nation in the middle of a desert that happens to sit on top of a large percentage of the world’s oil and gas reserves. That’s not enough oil and gas to run household fans? Obama’s “I’m OK, You’re OK” speech would be hilarious, if it weren’t so terrifying.

superficial, point-scoring conventions of politics, like debates and macho put-downs and public noshing. The Chicago smartypants was a Michael Jordan clutch player who grew bored if he was not challenged. Being president, by contrast, suits him much better. He has not lapsed into his old ambivalence. He is intellectually engaged by sculpting history. The trellis of hideous problems is a challenge that lures him to be powerfully concentrated. And, as his aides say, he loves living above the family store. Mixing play with intense work is not only a good mental health strategy; it’s a good way to show the world that American confidence and cool — and Cary Grant romantic flair — still thrive.

black cocktail dress, to sip martinis in Manhattan, as Sasha hung over a White House balcony and called out goodbye. When the president and first lady walked to their seats in the Belasco for “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone,” the theater-goers went nuts. And why not? What a relief to have an urbane, cultivated, curious president who’s out and about, engaged in the world. Not dangerously detached, as W. was, or darkly stewing like Cheney. Not hanging with the Rat Pack like JFK or getting bored and up to mischief like Bill Clinton. It was lame of critics on Capitol Hill to carp that the Obamas could have taken in a play in D.C. I’m a native, but it’s not the same. And it’s nice to see them tending to their marriage. According to

Richard Wolffe in “Renegade,” his new book about the Obama campaign, it has taken effort to get the relationship this strong. “She hated the failed race for Congress in 2000, and their marriage was strained by the time their youngest daughter, Sasha, was born a year later,” Wolffe writes. “There was little conversation and even less romance. She was angry at his selfishness and careerism; he thought she was cold and ungrateful. Even as he ran for the U.S. Senate in 2004, she still harbored very mixed feelings about her husband’s love of politics. ... So she had played no part in Barack’s previous contests and preferred to keep her distance.” Wolffe limns what those of us who traveled with Obama could see: He was often grumpy on the campaign. He missed his family. He disdained what he saw as

Conservation district offers tools Spring is in full swing, along with the high-flowing waters and the fast-growing weeds. The Routt County Conservation District sells polyacrylamide to help prevent seepage of water out of ditches and ponds. The district also offers rental equipment including pull sprayers, a sprayer mounted on an ATV, a rock picker, an aerator and a renovator — but the district recently has sold its grass seed drill and flatbed trailer. Thank you to all those who placed a bid, and especially to Neil and Clint Chew, who won the bid. District officials currently are examining the feasibility of purchasing a new grass seed drill. Contact the district for more information on any of these items at 970-879-3225, ext. 3, or at 1475 Pine Grove Road, Suite 201A. In other conservation district news, the 2009 Hay Day is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 30 at Sidney Peak Ranch. All are invited to the event, which includes agricultural equipment demonstrations, speakers on agricultural topics and booths from vendors

across Colorado. Speakers will present on poisonous plants, wind row grazing, protein content of hay, introducing legumes into grass hay, organic fertilizers and a weeds update. The conservation district still is looking for sponsors for the event. If you would like your banner up that day at the ranch, and your company’s name and/or logo on brochures and flyers, or if you are interested in booth space, call the conservation district. Also, the district recently has received a weed grant. The signup time to receive reimbursement for weed treatment is over for this year, but district officials plan to apply for the same grant next year, if it’s available. This year, the district focused on meadow knapweed, tamarisk, leafy spurge, dalmation and yellow toadflax, houndstongue and musk thistle. Landowners who have a weed problem are being reimbursed for the cost of herbicide, rental equipment and labor in their efforts to control or eradicate weeds. We are hoping to assist about 18 projects.

Finally, congratulations to all of Routt County’s recent graduates. The district is very proud of all who completed a high school or college degree. To help local high school seniors, the district awards two grants: the Glenn Werner Memorial scholarship and the Routt County Conservation District grant. This year, Kimberly Rossi, who graduated from Soroco High School, was awarded the Glenn Werner Memorial scholarship. Steamboat Springs High School graduate Jasper Gantick was awarded the conservation district’s scholarship. Congratulations to both, and thanks to all the other high school students who submitted an application. District officials had hard choices to make this year.

Craig’s Cook loses his Jeep business Collin Smith

CRAIG DAILY PRESS

CRAIG

There are no closed or closing car dealers in town, local dealership owners said. But — mirroring the national landscape — the local auto industry is changing. For instance, with a phone call this week, Scott Cook, owner of Cook Chevrolet, learned his Jeep franchise was gone for good. Cook Chevrolet had sold Jeeps since before Chrysler bought the company, but that did not change the local dealership’s fate. After Tuesday, when the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for Chrysler’s bankruptcy to go ahead as planned, the American auto giant made good on its talk this spring to take Jeep away from Cook Chevrolet. Chrysler originally sent a letter to Cook in May announcing its plans. His response yesterday to the official news was similar to what he said a month ago: The loss will have an impact, but it won’t be catastrophic. “In small dealerships, every franchise is important to us, but we’ll go on and see if we can offset it with other things,” he said. “There’s nothing we can do to change what’s gone on.” Still, Cook added, his business was not hurt as badly as some. “Other dealers, who only had one franchise, lost their only one,” he said. “I can’t feel too sorry for myself when that stuff is happening to other people.” Cook has no answers for what those dealers can do now. He said manufacturers probably wouldn’t be excited to add a dealership in a rural area right now, so they may have to survive on used car sales and service work. Although Jeep left Cook Chevrolet, it was not without a local home for long. Victory Motors of Craig, which also carries the Chrysler brand and its Dodge subsidiary, has taken on the franchise and will honor all Jeep warranties. Chris Maneotis, a Victory coowner, said he’s glad to have the Jeep franchise.

Craig Chamber ends Visitor Center project CRAIG

Gene Bilodeau has been involved with the Moffat County Visitor Center expansion project from the beginning, but he said that doesn’t mean he can’t see when a good idea has run its course. Bilodeau, a Craig Chamber of Commerce board member, made a motion at the group’s meeting Thursday that the Chamber is “not willing to move forward” with a proposed construction project that would unite three Craig community organizations under one roof. The board passed his motion unanimously. Members Deb Teeter and Don Jones, who also is the mayor of Craig, were absent. To express how he felt,

Bilodeau used an analogy for frustration. “It feels like we’re trying to teach pigs to sing,” he said, adding later that he was not comparing anyone to a pig. “It frustrates the pig, and it frustrates the person who’s trying to teach them to sing.” For the past few years, representatives from the Chamber, Moffat County Tourism Association and Craig/Moffat Economic Development Partnership have discussed expanding the Visitor Center to build offices for all three groups. The project culminated in a large meeting last month at Craig City Hall, with members from each group and officials from the city and county present. Chamber board members said Thursday they couldn’t help but be disappointed in how the meeting went.

Games include limbo, golf, darts, race I was 73,” DeVault said. “And I’d probably still be playing. But I love this. This is great.” Wichern also enjoyed the chance to compete with other residents. She once bowled for the Metropolitan Life team in New York and bowled a strike at the Doak games. Wichern was celebrating her birthday Thursday, though she said she didn’t remember which one it was. That garnered her the honor of lighting the torch to start the games — no flames involved — with her sister. “This is great fun, being here,” Wichern said. “And it’s great to see so many people turning out here, and all participating, too.” Participants wore red, white and blue leis, and many were decked out in patriotic colors and hats. They cheered and did the wave during competitions. Nearly all of the Doak’s 60

residents joined in, said Laura Oslowski, a recreation therapist. She and Community Life Manager Celia Buckley helped organize the Intergenerational Games. Games included a beanbag toss, the limbo, golf, darts, water balloon basketball, obstacle races and a child-senior relay race. About 25 children from GrandKids came over for the event. For the relay race, each carried a hard-boiled egg in a spoon to a senior partner. The senior then carried the egg to a finish line. Five-year-old Travis Steitz participated in the race. “I ran really fast, and I went so fast, I went 100 speed,” Travis said. “Then I ran with the egg, and the egg stayed on all the way to the finish line.” Abby Linner, 5, also raced carrying an egg. She said it was tough to keep her speed under control. “I can walk faster, but I don’t really want to drop the

egg,” she said. “I was, like, really trying to not get it falled.” The games reinforce the Eden philosophy, where people live and work together without divisions between staff and residents, Buckley said. The event promotes spontaneity and that closeness, she said. “I think they love being together as a community with the staff, children and all of them,” Buckley said. “I think it’s being together.” — To reach Blythe Terrell, call 871-4234 or e-mail bterrell@steamboatpilot.com

Skier visits down 5.5 percent

11.85 million people overall at Colorado resorts in 2008-09 Catherine Tsai

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

��

DENVER

��

The number of people skiing and snowboarding at Colorado resorts declined 5.5 percent in the 2008-09 season amid a travel slump, according to preliminary figures from Colorado Ski Country USA. Despite strong results at some ski areas, the trade group said Thursday that there were 11.85 million skier visits overall to Colorado resorts last season. Visits to the group’s 22 member ski areas, which don’t include Vail Resorts’ four Colorado resorts, declined 6.9 percent last season to 6.79 million. Vail Resorts has said it had about 5 million skier visits at

Vail, Beaver Creek, Keystone and Breckenridge last season, down about 3.5 percent from 5.2 million the season before. The results are in line with a 5.5 percent decline the National Ski Areas Association reported for the season. It said preliminary figures showed there were 57.1 million visits to ski resorts across the country, down from a record 60.5 million visits the season before. Ski company officials had said they expected resorts within driving distance of big cities to fare better in 2008-2009. Loveland Ski Area, about 50 miles from Denver, was among the few Colorado resorts to see skier visits rise last season. Spokesman John Sellers didn’t release numbers but said last season was the best for

Loveland in its 72-year history. “Our lift tickets, season passes and lessons are all very affordable. Our tickets are close to half that of some of the other resorts,” Sellers said. The National Ski Areas Association said destination resorts suffered most last season, although Vail reported a 3.3 percent increase in visits and Beaver Creek reported a 1.3 percent bump up. In March, Vail Resorts CEO Rob Katz said the new Epic pass that allowed unlimited access to both resorts may have been helping to boost visits. Aspen Skiing Co. said Thursday that visits to its four mountains were down 7.6 percent from the 2007-2008 season to 1.36 million. It had expected a decrease of 5 to 15 percent.

Health officials in Larimer County say they have this year’s first confirmed Colorado sample of the West Nile virus. The virus was found in a mosquito captured

West Nile is carried by mosquitoes and usually is harmless to humans, although it can cause flu-like symptoms or even death in rare cases. Last year, Colorado had at least 16 human cases of West Nile virus. That was a sharp decline from 2007 when 576 people were sickened by West Nile and seven people in Colorado died.

Senate favors tobacco law Jim Abrams

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

The Senate struck a historic blow against smoking in America on Thursday, voting overwhelmingly to give regulators new power to limit nicotine in the cigarettes that kill nearly a half-million people a year, to drastically curtail ads that glorify tobacco and to ban flavored products aimed at spreading the habit to young people. President Barack Obama, who has spoken about his own struggle to quit smoking, said

he was eager to sign the legislation, and the House planned a vote for today. Cigarette foes said the measure would not only cut deaths but reduce the $100 billion in annual health care costs linked to tobacco. Fierce opposition by the industry and tobacco-state lawmakers had prevented passage for years, along with veto threats by the George W. Bush White House. In the end, the nation’s biggest tobacco company supported the measure, though rivals suggested that was because it could lock in Philip Morris’ share of the market.

Cigarette smoking kills about 400,000 people in the United States every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About 45 million U.S. adults are smokers, though the prevalence has fallen since the U.S. surgeon general’s warning 45 years ago that tobacco causes lung cancer. The legislation, one of the most dramatic anti-smoking initiatives since the surgeon general’s report, would give the Food and Drug Administration authority to regulate the content, marketing and advertising of cigarettes and other tobacco products.

$1.3 trillion wiped out for Americans THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

The brute force of the recession earlier this year turned back the clock on Americans’ personal wealth to 2004 and wiped out a staggering $1.3 trillion as home values shrank and investments withered. Net worth, or the value of assets such as homes, checking accounts and investments minus debts such as mortgages and credit cards, declined 2.6 percent in the first three months of the year, the Federal

��

Reserve said Thursday. Those months were some of the worst of the recession so far for job losses, and the stock market sank to its lowest point of the year in March. Since then, some signs suggest the economy is stabilizing. Still, partly because of the carnage earlier in the recession, Americans are putting plans on hold until the economy improves. B. Smith, a conductor for a Chicago commuter rail line, is waiting to buy cars for two of his children. He spent $260,000 to build his suburban Chicago home about 10 years ago and

watched its value spike to $380,000 in January 2008. Today, it stands at about $310,000. “I’m still ahead, but I’m not as ahead as I was before,” he said. Even if things improve, such a dramatic evaporation of wealth probably will make Americans more thrifty down the road, said Scott Hoyt, senior director of consumer economics at Moody’s Economy.com.

An 88-year-old white supremacist was charged with murder Thursday, a day after officials said he left a signed anti-Semitic screed in his car outside the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, then gunned down a security guard who opened the door to let him in. Guard Stephen T. Johns was shot to death Wednesday by Holocaust denier James von

Brunn, who left his car outside an entrance to the museum and walked in holding a rifle at his side, District Police Chief Cathy Lanier said at a news conference. Von Brunn started shooting immediately, exchanging fire with two other guards who shot and critically injured him, Lanier said. In his car, officers found a notebook with a handwritten note that read, “You want my weapons — this is how you’ll get them. The Holocaust is a lie. Obama was created by Jews,” according to a court affidavit.

Von Brunn’s .22-caliber rifle held 10 more bullets and investigators found more in his car and at an apartment in Annapolis, Md., that he shared with son and his son’s fiancee. Security guards fired at von Brunn at least eight times, hitting him in the face. The museum remained closed Thursday and flags flew at halfstaff in honor of Johns, 39, who had worked at the museum for six years. Bouquets of roses, lilies and other flowers were left outside the museum walls. The entrance where the shooting occurred still was cordoned off by police tape.

Obama says it’s time to fix health care

��

GREEN BAY, WIS.

Undertaking a new and aggressive push to enact health care reform this year, President Barack Obama bluntly challenged Republican critics Thursday to put forward their own plan to expand coverage to the uninsured and help struggling families afford care. “To those who criticize our efforts, I ask them, ‘What’s the alternative?”’ Obama said at a town hall-style meeting, surrounded by supportive citizens in the heartland.

��

the president is stepping up his personal efforts, a key part of which is selling his ideas directly to Americans, in hopes they will pressure lawmakers directly and create momentum through a groundswell of public support. He described his critics as naysayers. “I know there are some who believe that reform is too expensive, but I can assure you that doing nothing will cost us far more in the coming years,” Obama said. “Our deficits will be higher. Our premiums will go up. Our wages will be lower, our jobs will be fewer, and our businesses will suffer.”

“What else do we say to all those families who spend more on health care than on housing or on food? What do we tell those businesses that are Obama choosing between closing their doors and letting their workers go?” A dispute about Obama’s desire to create a new government-sponsored health plan to compete with private insurers is forming a major obstacle to bipartisan consensus on a sweeping overhaul of the nation’s health care system.

If a musician can’t play with soul, blues guitarist Walter Trout doesn’t want him in his band. “Just think of the phrase blues and what that encompasses,” Trout said. “It’s not really about technique; it’s about feeling. So if you’re playing this kind of music and you don’t have feeling in it, you might as well go drive a cab.” Since he first picked up an electric guitar more than 40 years ago, Trout has put out more than a dozen albums of his own music. Before going solo in 1989, he was a side-

man to acts including John Lee Hooker, Canned Heat, John Mayall, Big Mama Listen to songs by Walter Trout Thornton, Pee online. Wee Crayton, Lowell www.Explore Fulson, Bobby Steamboat.com Hatfield of The Righteous Brothers and Bo Diddley. Trout comes through Steamboat Springs on his way to the Greeley Blues Jam where he’ll headline a bill that includes Marcia Ball and Charlie Musselwhite. He plays with his band today at the Old Town Pub. Trout talked with the Steamboat Pilot & Today about his music career, playing with the greats and finding his own style.

If you go What: Walter Trout, blues and rock When: 10 p.m. today Where: Old Town Pub Cost: TBD Call: 879-2101

WALTER TROUT: I think it was the feeling in the music, that it can just be language to express feelings and emotions and thoughts. … I was more attracted to music that had some depth to it than what was playing on the radio. SP&T: Musically, how did you transition from being a blues sideman to having your own bands? WT: I had all those years as a sideman and I played with all these great blues acts, these legendary blues acts, and I think through that I was labeled as being sort of just a blues player.

Each artist a learning experience �� SP&T: Was there one headliner who influenced you more as a sideman? WT: I learned a little something different from everybody I was with. But the one thing I knew at an early age that you had to do as a sideman, when

you got a job playing guitar with somebody … I would get all the records I could by that person, and I would immerse myself in their music, and I would try to become a part of their vision. You couldn’t get up with Big Mama Thornton or John Lee Hooker and start whipping into Jimi Hendrix solos; it just wouldn’t work. You had to respect where they were coming from musically. … By doing that … when you went from one to the other, it was a real learning experience.

But through all of that, I loved all of the American roots forms of music. … I’ve really tried to in my own way put it all together. I’ve tried to create a sort of hybrid blending of all that stuff. … The whole time I was out being a sideman and touring with those folks, I was writing on my own, and I actually had my own band that was the house band at a little bar at the beach here where I live

in California. I used to come home from those tours and really feel like when I went down to the little bar at the corner, that’s when I really got to play, because I could go in there and sort of play anything.

Jazzjets continued from 26 bands on and off since 1992, said she hopes the show will be the start of regular vocal jazz sets that have a diverse range of styles. “I’ve been singing professionally in bands since I was 16 years old. It’s sort of grown into this very creative outlet, and I’ve just never stopped,”

��

Mosser said. “Jazz and blues is my background, but I sing a lot with country bands and rock ’n’ roll bands. I have a lot of different influences.” The Jazzjets put their own spin on contemporary songs, dipping into rock, alternative and R&B to find tunes that can adapt to a jazz feel. “I think what we do is we’ll hear a song, and because the vocals can work with a lot of the instrumentals, we just kind of get interested in a certain arrangement,” Mosser said. “So there can be a song that’s maybe as out there as Creed’s ‘With Arms Wide Open,’ and you can recreate that with jazz, and it takes on a life of its own.” The group came together

Swine flu now is formally a pandemic, a declaration by U.N. health officials that will speed vaccine production and spur government spending to combat the first global flu epidemic in 41 years. Thursday’s announcement by the World Health Organization doesn’t mean the virus is any more lethal — only that its spread is considered unstoppable. Since it first was detected in late April in Mexico and the United States, swine flu has reached 74 countries, infecting nearly 29,000 people. Most who catch the bug have only mild symptoms and don’t need medical treatment. WHO chief Dr. Margaret Chan made the long-awaited declaration after the U.N. agency held an emergency meeting with flu experts and said she was moving to phase 6 — the agency’s highest alert level — which means a pandemic is under way. “The world is moving into the early days of its first influenza pandemic in the 21st century,” Chan said in Geneva. Dr. Thomas Frieden, the new head of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in Atlanta that he does not expect widespread public anxiety in the United States as a result of the declaration, noting it came nearly two months after the virus was identified. For many weeks, U.S. health officials have been treating it as a pandemic, increasing the availability of anti-viral flu medicines and pouring money into a possible vaccination program. And scientists have grown to understand that the virus is generally not much more severe than the seasonal flu. “That helps to tamp down any fears that may be excessive,” Frieden said at a news conference — his first as CDC director. But the virus still can be deadly and may change into a more frightening form in the near future, and so people should not be complacent, he added. So far, swine flu has caused 144 deaths, compared with ordinary flu that kills as many as 500,000 people a year.

Better data, strong 30-year auction lift stocks THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK

The stock market’s rally is shifting to a lower gear. The Dow Jones industrial average tacked on a modest 32 points Thursday after being up as much as 139, and the Standard & Poor’s 500 index edged up to reach its highest level since November. Investors welcomed a drop in jobless claims, growth in retail sales and better-than-expected demand at a government debt

auction. But traders also seemed mindful of how far the market has come in its three-month rally. The stock market has at times run low on fresh evidence of economic recovery that could push the rally further. The data out Thursday helped but weren’t enough to keep the pace of buying strong through the end of trading. The Labor Department reported that the number of newly laidoff Americans filing for jobless benefits declined last week by 24,000 to 601,000, better than

economists forecast. However the number of unemployed continuing to file for claims increased to 6.8 million, the highest on records dating to 1967. Meanwhile, the Commerce Department said retail sales increased 0.5 percent in May, interrupting two months of decreases and marking the largest gain since January. Investors watch those numbers because consumer spending accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity. Doug Lockwood, chief invest-

ment officer at Cornerstone Wealth Management, said the improvements in sales is a strong signal that the recession may be easing. Hope of a recovery has pushed the S&P 500 index up 39.7 percent from a 12-year low March 9. “There has been a lot of rallying and rebounding going on, but we have to continue to see improvements,” Lockwood said. Stocks increased to their highest levels of the day in afternoon trading when the Treasury Department said an auction for

��

30-year Treasury bonds attracted strong demand. That allowed investors to set aside some of their worries about higher interest rates. Stocks lost ground Wednesday after a relatively weak auction for 10-year notes. The Dow increased 31.90, or 0.4 percent, to 8,770.92. The S&P 500 increased 5.74, or 0.6 percent, to 944.89, just above its close June 2 and its highest point since Nov. 5. The Nasdaq Composite index increased 9.29, or 0.5 percent, to 1,862.37, its best level since Oct. 6.

Don Platt runs in the Steamboat Springs Running Series events when he can, weaving the events in between his treks across the country for 100-mile ultra marathons. “I usually do the 10k at 10,000 Feet and try to do the Continental Divide run and the Mount Werner Classic if I’m in town,” Platt said. “But the Hayden Cog Run, I never miss the Cog Run.” Platt said he loves the annual multi-race event, in which runners of the longest competition are cast up the steep slopes just outside Hayden. The run up is a challenge, he said, and the run down a thrill. And for the 22nd consecutive time, it will be enough Saturday to convince him to make the drive over to Hayden for the 10 a.m. race. “I just really like it because I like the course,” Platt said of the day’s namesake 8.4-mile run up the Cog Road. “It’s two miles that are really flat, then two miles up, two miles down, then flat again. “You can run really fast on that downhill.” Saturday’s race will mark the 31st year for the Cog Run. Hayden Parks and Recreation Director Kathy Hockett said she is hoping a day full of events and the option to run several shorter races will help others find as much to love as Platt does. Both 5-kilometer and 10-kilometer runs will start along side the Cog race at 10 a.m. “A lot of people don’t realize when we say ‘Cog Run’ we’re referring to the shorter races as well,” Hockett said about the 5 and 10k, which are about 3 and 6 miles. “Those distances aren’t as intimidating. People can run or walk them if they’d like.” The shorter races head out of town in the opposite direction as the Cog Run runners, bolting south to the hills surrounding Hayden.

Orlando Magic forward Rashard Lewis guards against the Los Angeles Lakers’ Lamar Odom in the first half during Game 4 of the NBA Finals at Amway Arena in Orlando, Fla., on Thursday. The Lakers won, 99-91.

Lakers triumph

Fisher saves Los Angeles to beat Orlando, 99-91 Tom Withers

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ORLANDO, FLA.

Kobe Bryant is one win from an NBA title to call his own. Derek Fisher got him there. Fisher forced overtime with a 3-pointer with 4.6 seconds left in regulation and then drilled another one with 31.3 seconds to go in overtime as the Los Angeles Lakers outlasted the Orlando Magic, 99-91, in Game 4 on Thursday night to open a 3-1 lead in the NBA finals. It was the first time since 1984, when Magic Johnson’s Lakers and Larry Bird’s Celtics

hooked up, that two games in a finals have gone to overtime. When the clock expired, Bryant, trying to win his first championship without Shaquille O’Neal, looked at Tiger Woods and wiped sweat from his brow in relief. Fisher, who has bailed out the Lakers in plenty of big games before, thrust both arms in the air in triumph. The Lakers can wrap up their 15th title Sunday night in Game 5. Bryant finished with 32 points, eight assists and seven rebounds. Trevor Ariza and Pau Gasol each had 16 for Los Angeles, which came back

from a 12-point halftime deficit. Ariza had 13 of the Lakers’ 30 points in the third quarter. The Lakers are 7-0 following a loss in this postseason. Unless they can force a Game 6, the Magic will remember this as another finals game that got away. Dwight Howard was magnificent everywhere but at the free-throw line. Orlando’s superman of a center had 16 points, 21 rebounds and a finals-record nine blocks. But he made just 6 of 14 foul shots, and it was his two crucial misses with 11.1 seconds See NBA, page 35

The Colorado Rockies are learning to love life on the road under new manager Jim Tracy. Aaron Cook pitched shutout ball into the seventh inning, and closer Huston Street shook off a ninth-inning home run by Ryan Braun to earn his fourth save in as many games, liftTHURSDAY’S ing the Rockies to GAME: a 5-4 victory and Rockies 5 three-game sweep Brewers 4 against Milwaukee on Thursday. That’s eight straight wins, all on the road, for the Rockies, who completed a four-game sweep of St. Louis earlier this week — shredding two of the National League Central’s best in seven days. “I think we should just go straight to Seattle,” Cook said. Instead, the Rockies will face the Mariners at home, where they’re 9-14 this season. “Now we have to take this home with us to our fans and get our house in order,” Tracy said. “Because we’re a much better team at home than 914.” Colorado is 10-4 under Tracy, who took over for the fired Clint Hurdle on May 29. But it’s not like the Rockies were completely adversity-free Thursday: Catcher Paul Phillips nearly got run over by the Miller Park “Racing Sausage” mascots as he walked out of the dugout. And Phillips got booed for it! “I said, ‘Jeez, tough crowd,”’ said Phillips, whose two-run single in the eighth proved to be the difference for the Rockies. “They were more into the sausage race, obviously, than they were the game.” Oh, and Braun’s three-run homer off Street in the ninth did add some drama. With the Rockies leading, 5-1, Randy Flores allowed a pair of runners to reach base with one out. Tracy brought in Street, who struck out Mike Rivera before giving up Braun’s homer.

Mountain bike trails at Steamboat Ski Area will start to open Saturday, but the process won’t be complete for another week. A limited number of trails from the base of the mountain to the top of Thunderhead will open Saturday. “Obviously, it’s still wet from the rain and from snowmelt,” Steamboat Ski & Resort Corp. spokeswoman Loryn Kasten said. “We’re finishing up our logging, so we want to remind people to be safe when they’re on the trails.” Kasten said the gondola will be opened to carry bikers to the top less than a week later, on June 19.

Tennis Center expects a crowd for tournament

Kayak Swap on Saturday at Backdoor Sports

The Tennis Center at Steamboat Springs will host about 100 players this weekend. Athletes from six states are expected to travel to Steamboat Springs to play in the Intermountain Senior Sections tennis tournament. The action gets under way at 2 p.m. today and runs through the weekend. The tournament should wrap up early Sunday afternoon. “The tournament has been bigger in the past, but we had some conflicts this year with other tournaments,” tournament director Stacy Swiggart said. “There just aren’t as many players traveling and playing this year. Still, it will be fun, and we’ll have a lot of players.” Swiggart said the draw will be heavy on players from Utah and Colorado and will even feature about 15 Steamboat locals. “It should be some good ten-

The waters may slowly be starting to tame on the Yampa River, which means the time for new and inexperienced boaters to hit the waves is drawing closer. For those looking to get into the sport or looking for a cheap way to upgrade their equipment, Saturday’s Kayak Swap may be the answer. The event starts at 9 a.m. at Backdoor Sports in downtown Steamboat. “Anyone can bring any river equipment they want to sell,” Backdoor Sports employee Johanna Jeffery said. It costs $10 to enter equipment into the swap and those doing so can price it themselves. Organizers expect the sale to include everything from paddles to dry tops to boats. “It’s a great deal, especially for someone who wants to buy a new boat or wants to get into kayaking,” Jeffery said.

Pre-race registration lags behind last year slopes outside town. “It’s a very steep incline, and yes, it’s a challenge,” Hockett said. “For those looking for a challenge, they’ll find it.” Hockett said pre-race registrations are lagging a little behind last year’s, which she said was disappointing, as she didn’t deem last year’s number sufficient. “The numbers have cycled back down. They probably peaked in about the 10th

or 15th year and have been steadily declining since,” she said. “The race has a character that sets it all by itself. Just in terms of the history and how it’s kept going all these years, it’s unique.” Still, no matter who else shows up, there’s one fan the Cog Run is sure not to lose. “It’s a good hard run,” Platt said. “I’m 55 years old now, so I just try to run it as hard as I can. It’s a great fun run, and there are a lot of nice people. I just like it.”

If you go What: 31st annual Hayden Cog Run. The Cog Run is a steep 8.4-mile run north out of Hayden. The day also includes 5- and 10-kilometer races that go south of town. When: Races start at 10 a.m. Saturday Where: Racers start at the Hayden Town Park on South Third Street Cost: Racers can register for $25 on the day of the race or for $20 in advance. Registration is available at the Town Hall in Hayden and Ski Haus until noon today, and online at www. runningseries.com.

3-pointer stuns Magic’s maniacal crowd NBA continued from 33 to go in regulation that doomed the Magic. First, Fisher, who has made a career of hitting memorable shots in clutch situations, pulled up and without hesitating dropped a 3-pointer over Orlando’s Jameer Nelson with 4.6 seconds left to tie it, 87-87. The shot stunned the Magic’s maniacal crowd, which was hoping the home team could win its second straight finals game after dropping its first six. “I was just going to take over and kind of survey the situation, but Nelson was giving me a lot of space, and I like

to step into those 3s,” Fisher said. “Even though I wasn’t making them, I felt like I could do that. I felt good to help the team that way.” Fisher had missed his first five 3s but came up with one the little left-hander will cherish forever. “My teammates and my coaches kept giving me that confidence to continue to believe in myself,” Fisher said. “I wanted to come through for the guys.” Just as they did in Game 2, Orlando had one final try, and this time, guard Courtney Lee, who misfired on a tougherthan-it-looked layup in that loss, wasn’t on the floor. The

Magic inbounded the ball to Mickael Pietrus, but his long and contested jumper was off. Bryant scored two quick baskets in the overtime, and Howard tied it when he split two free throws with 1:27 remaining. On L.A.’s next trip, Ariza grabbed his own miss to get another 24 seconds and Fisher lined up and drilled his 3pointer from the top of the key to make it 94-91. As he retreated down court and Orlando called a timeout, the Lakers bench stormed onto the court and surrounded the popular 34-year-old Fisher, who came back to the team after a short stint in Utah.

tates the patched hole will cause the newly resurfaced road to break down prematurely — particularly as city snowplows repeatedly scrape the patch — concerned citizens were right to ask why the city and Atmos didn’t coordinate the work on Crawford Avenue. Fortunately, Public Works Director Philo Shelton provided a seemingly good answer yesterday to the neighborhood’s concerns. According to Shelton, the hole is the result of an unforeseeable event that required Atmos to work on a gas line from a residence in the neighborhood to the main line under the street after the paving of the street already was completed as scheduled. Unfortunately, no sooner had the city repaved Crawford Avenue than Atmos had to access the gas line under the street to conduct the unexpected work. Now, there are some — especially within government — who believe that citizens who raise questions about one line item in a budget or one small hole on one street are being picayune. But, for those who

��

feel that way, there is a oneword response that is exceedingly apropos given recent road work in downtown Steamboat. Thermoplastic. Thermoplastic crosswalk markings applied by the Colorado Department of Transportation last fall along Lincoln Avenue in downtown Steamboat. The markings — costing five to 10 times as much as traditional painted crosswalks — were applied in spite of commonsense warnings from citizens and experts alike that the thermoplastic would not withstand scraping by snowplows. Further, it was a waste of tax dollars to use the more expensive thermoplastic, instead of paint, given that Lincoln Avenue already was scheduled to be completely renovated this summer — meaning the thermoplastic would be removed anyway. As it turns out, the commonsense predictions of citizens proved far more accurate than those of CDOT and Steamboat’s Public Works Department as the thermoplastic didn’t even survive last winter — much less the predicted

three to four years. After the first snowfall, the thermoplastic already was chipping. By January, many crosswalks were shredded. By March, contrary to an initial denial by Shelton, city workers were scraping the remaining markings off the street as chunks of plastic were littering streets, gutters, sewers and sidewalks alike. So, while concerns from citizens that the hole on Crawford Avenue was an example of wasteful double-work on the part of the city and Atmos appear to be a false alarm, let’s hope our citizens remain vigilant and keep questioning whether their government is operating with commonsense. Let’s further hope that our government officials at all levels — local, state and federal — actually listen to citizens when they raise questions and concerns about the work of government during these challenging times instead of dismissing those concerns and wasting dwindling resources.
