Colin Kirkpatrick always has put a certain amount of effort into the names of his paintings. He matches them with the mood of each piece, and in some cases, he describes — with no apparent word limit — what’s going on in the picture. In a show of 16 paintings and mixed media works on display at Urbane clothing store, there’s a series about the brain being separate from the hands, called “The brain doesn’t know what the hands are doing.” There’s also a depiction of a burning bridge called, “If you’re going to burn your bridges, make sure that you’re going to burn it bright enough to see your way home.” Kirkpatrick, who graduated from Steamboat Springs High School four years ago and hopes to finish up at Metropolitan State College of Denver in the fall, said his topics can come

Volunteers continue search for Rebecca Green STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Routt County Search and Rescue volunteers continued to comb the banks of Fish Creek on Wednesday for any signs of Steamboat Springs resident Rebecca Green, but they again came away emptyhanded. Incident cocommander Scott Havener was one of two volunteers who walked along Green the raging creek. He said the rough terrain and high water is making the search difficult. “It’s really nasty terrain — boulders and a lot of vegetation and brush,” he said. “We’re just combing the banks to see if anything’s changed, to see if we see anything new.” Search and Rescue spokeswoman Riley Polumbus said the group is monitoring the water levels to determine the best time to search again. “We would like to see it come down to 100 to 125 (cubic feet per second) in that area,” she said. There is no measuring

device on that portion of the creek, but rescuers estimate the creek is fluctuating between 200 and 500 cfs now. Green, 40, and her 8-year-old son Kade, fell into Fish Creek below the upper falls Saturday. Kade grabbed onto a branch and pulled himself out of the water and had minor injuries. Rebecca Green has not been seen since. Polumbus said rains also have hampered search efforts. Between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday, the creek rose 6 inches, she said. “I think everyone’s kind of racking their brains right now thinking, ‘Are there other ways we can do this or ways we can do this sooner?’” Polumbus said. A water rescue team from Summit County assisted in the search Sunday and Monday, and another rescue team may be brought in later this week for a “fresh set of eyes.” Havener said he has been in contact with several teams throughout the day to find a mutual aid agreement. Mount Werner Water closed a gate at Long Lake from 6 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. Monday, bringing water levels down about 20 percent, Polumbus said, but

Man wanted on marijuana charges turns himself in

that was not enough to make the river easily searchable. Polumbus said rescuers may request the gates shut again if water levels get low enough that it would help. Searches for the rest of the week will hinge on water levels and how many volunteers are available, Polumbus said. “We’ll continue to send people in if we can,” she said. “The only thing that would really prevent that from happening is if someone is not available, but so far people have really been willing to go.” Havener said he plans to have another group search the creek banks today and Friday. Rescuers now are focusing on the stretch of creek between the bottom of the upper falls and the second bridge. Havener said it was hard to estimate the length of river that stretch encompasses because it is impossible to walk directly next to the water.

Timothy Barrow Nelson, the Hayden man who was wanted on a warrant for allegedly growing marijuana at his Hayden home, turned himself in to authorities Tuesday and was released on a $2,000 bail. Nelson, 36, was arrested on suspicion of cultivation of marijuana, a Class 4 felony, possession of drug paraphernalia and having an unaltered dog at large. If convicted, Nelson faces two to six years in jail. Routt County Sheriff’s Office deputies raided Nelson’s home, in the 14000 block of West U.S. Highway 40 east of Hayden, on May 21, seizing 6 marijuana plants, 62.8 grams (2.2 ounces) of dried marijuana and 10 samples of an unknown liquid found on the property. Deputies said the liquids were in unmarked glass containers scattered around the property, and they have sent samples to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation for analysis. In the search warrant, investigators indicated they think there’s a possibility the liquids are chemi-

cals used to make methamphetamine. In a letter to Judge James Garrecht dated May 26, Nelson wrote that the liquids were “homemade berry wine, octane booster, starting fluid and methanol.” “I am an avid dirt bike rider, and these liquids are used as an additive to fuel in most of my bikes, excluding the wine,” Nelson wrote. The results from CBI tests have not returned, Routt County Sheriff’s Office evidence supervisor Mellisa Baumgartner said. Nelson’s first scheduled court date is July 14. Nelson wrote to the judge that he was out of town and would return June 9, but investigators were unable to make contact with him at that time. Deputies first discovered the marijuana plants when Dep. Shawn Hockaday responded to a complaint about Nelson’s dogs running loose near the Hayden power plant. According to the search warrant, Hockaday saw that Nelson’s car was at his house but nobody answered the door. When Hockaday walked See Drugs, page 12

A group of Yampa Valley residents wants to see waste chopped down to a pretty low number: zero. The Yampa Valley Sustainability Council launches its Zero Waste Initiative on Saturday at the Family Fun Fest. The council will use the Gondola Square event to educate people about zero waste. The concept is that people should recycle or compost as much as possible to cut down on landfill trash, said Liz Wahl, a director at the sustainability council. “We’re going to be manning the trash containers to make sure people put waste in the right containers. … We’re calling it the green police,” Wahl said. The sustainability group has worked closely with Yampa Valley Recycles, and Wahl praised that group’s efforts toward a greener community.

Trustees to discuss charter

��

Blythe Terrell

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Hayden trustees are slated to decide tonight whether to put a new home rule charter to a public vote. The town’s Home Rule Charter Commission built the document, which has gone through a public hearing and a revision with lawyers. The latest version of the document includes a mayor elected by voters, not a council president. It also includes extended term limits for council members. The Town Board of Trustees is scheduled to decide at its meeting tonight whether to accept the document and put it to a public vote. If they approve it, the charter could go to Hayden voters as soon as July 21, Town Clerk Susan Irvine said. That would be 30 days after publication in the Sunday Steamboat Pilot & Today. If voters approve the charter, the town’s governing body will be called the Town Council instead of the Town Board of Trustees. Six trustees would be elected to four-year terms, and the mayor would serve a two-year term.

If you go What: Hayden Town Board of Trustees meeting When: 7:30 p.m. today Where: Hayden Town Hall, 178 W. Jefferson Ave. Call: 276-3741 for more information Online: To read Hayden’s proposed town charter, visit www.steamboatpilot. com or www.townofhayden.org.

According to the document, “the charter grants the town new powers including the power of eminent domain outside the municipal limits and the power to organize any type of municipal utility. The charter also requires the town to adopt and maintain a master plan for the community and to consider the master plan in the context of all major new development applications.” One of the benefits of home rule, town officials have said, is that it provides more flexibility in taxing. No new tax could go into effect without voter approval, Town Manager Russ Martin has stressed, but a charter would give the town the chance to possibly tax travelers at Yampa Valley Regional Airport. A risk of going to home rule is that the town could impose

limits or rules on itself that it later regrets, Martin had said. The town is currently a statutory town, which means it is governed by statewide rules. The charter begins with a preamble stating the town’s mission. It reads: “We, the citizens of the town of Hayden, Colorado, believing that the government of Hayden exists to serve the people of the town of Hayden; desiring to preserve the heritage of Hayden — its river, wildlife habitat, open spaces and historic small town character; seeking to enable effective citizen participation and to promote involvement in the political process; committing to securing the benefits and advantages of the Constitution of Colorado and to availing ourselves of the rights and privileges of home-rule and self-government in local affairs to the fullest possible extent; do hereby adopt this charter.” Also at tonight’s meeting, the Town Board is scheduled to decide whether to approve closing Walnut Street for the Hayden Farmers Market, discuss proposed 2009 budget revisions and decide whether to grant Wolf Mountain Pizza a temporary liquor permit.

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Hayden’s new farmers market won’t quite be flush with vendors when it kicks into gear Friday, but organizers are pleased with what they can offer. Suzanne Banning has spearheaded the market on behalf of the Hayden Garden Club. The event will run from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday. Brothers Custom Processing from Craig will sell barbecue, and 4-H members will sell sodas and water. Bluegrass band Ragweed will perform. Twelve vendors are on board, including nonprofit groups and food sellers, Banning said. People are signing up slowly, but she expects it to pick up if the market is successful. The market will be on Walnut Street, south of Jefferson Avenue. “We’re going to kind of stretch it out on the street, give people some space, put the band and the barbecue toward the south end,” Banning said. Anyone interested in setting up a booth is asked to call Banning at 846-0616. Banning clarified that she

wasn’t planning to pursue a liquor license for the market. She went to the town to ask what the protocol would be if a vendor wanted to sell alcohol. The vendor would have to go through a process to get permission from Hayden officials. Alcohol won’t be available at the market Friday. Vendors include Vonnie Frentress, Alpine Floral, RedClay and Michael Moss. Moss will sell produce, Banning said. The Hayden Garden Club also will have a booth, and Frentress will use space there. Frentress lives on a ranch west of Hayden run by her husband, Kurt. The ranch produces wheat and cattle, and it offers big-game hunting. She will sell whole-wheat flour and whole wheat at the market. She said she thought the market would benefit the town. “I want to support it, and I See Market, page 14

COMMENTARY

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

You be Obama David Brooks

THE NEW YORK TIMES

Let’s say that you are President Barack Obama. You’ve inherited a health care system that is the insane spawn of a team of evil geniuses from an alien power. Pay is divorced from performance. Users are separated from costs. Rising costs threaten to destroy your nation and everything you hold dear. Because you have a lofty perspective on things, you know there are basically two ways to fix this mess. Brooks There is the liberal way, in which the government takes over the health care system and decides who gets what. And then there is the conservative way, in which costconscious consumers make choices in the context of a competitive marketplace. You also know that these two approaches have one thing in common.

They are both currently politically unsellable. Others have tried and perished. There are vast (opposing) armies arrayed against them. The whole issue is a nightmare. You are daunted by the challenges in front of you until you remember that by some great act of fortune, you happen to be Barack Obama. This calms you down. You conceive a strategy. The first step in this strategy is tablesetting. You will spend the first several months of your administration talking grandly about the need for reform. You will invite all interested parties to the table, and you will serve a great heaping plate of pabulum. You will talk about things that no sentient person could possibly disagree with — about the need for better information technology and for more preventive care. There will be less health care nitty-gritty here than in your average pre-K circle time, but you are getting everybody talk-

ing. You are building relationships. In stage two, you pass everything over to Congress. You’ll need these windbags at the end, so you might as well get them busy at the beginning. This will produce a whirl of White Papers, a flurry of committee activity, a set of legislative rivalries as every chairman in the stable seeks to be the lead horse in the romp to legislative glory. All you have to do is raise a portentous eyebrow from time to time, signaling grand approval of the various proposals as they blow by. This brings us to the current stage: The Long Tease. Every player in this game has a favorite idea, and you are open to all of them. The liberals want a public plan, and you’re for it. The budget guys are for slashing Medicare reimbursements, and you’re for that. The doctors want relief from lawsuits, and you’re open to it. The Republicans want you to cap the tax exemption on employee See Brooks, page 9

The virtual mosque Thomas Friedman THE NEW YORK TIMES

Watching events unfolding in Tehran raises three intriguing questions for me: Is Facebook to Iran’s Moderate Revolution what the mosque was to Iran’s Islamic Revolution? Is Twitter to Iranian moderates what muezzins were to Iranian mullahs? And, finally, is any of this good for the Jews — particularly Israel’s prime minister Bibi Netanyahu? Here is why I ask. During the past eight Friedman years, in Iraq, Lebanon, the Palestinian territories and, to a lesser extent, Egypt, spaces were opened for more democratic elections. Good news. Unfortunately, the groups that had the most grass-roots support and mobilization capabilities — and the most energized supporters — to take advantage

MALLARD FILLMORE

of this new space were the Islamists. That is, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza and the West Bank, the various Sunni and Shiite Islamist parties in Iraq and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. The centrist mainstream was nowhere. One of the most important reasons why the Islamists were able to covertly organize and mobilize, and be prepared when the lids in their societies were loosened a bit, was because they had the mosque — a place to gather, educate and inspire their followers — outside the total control of the state. In almost every one of these cases, the Islamists overplayed their hands. In Lebanon, Hezbollah took the country into a disastrous and unpopular war. Ditto Hamas in Gaza. The Sunni and Shiite Islamists in Iraq tried to impose a religious lifestyle on their communities, and the mullahs in Iran quashed the reformists. In the past year, though, the hard-liners in all these countries have

faced a backlash by the centrist majorities, who detest these Islamist groups. Hezbollah was defeated in the Lebanese elections. Hamas is facing an energized Fatah in the West Bank and is increasingly unpopular in Gaza. Iraqi Sunnis have ousted the jihadists thanks to the tribal Awakening movement, while the biggest pro-Iranian party in Iraq got trounced in the recent provincial runoff. And in Iran, millions of Iranians starving for more freedom rallied to the presidential candidate Mir Hussein Moussavi, forcing President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to steal the election. (If he really won the Iranian election, as he claims, by a 2-to-1 margin, wouldn’t he invite the whole world in to recount the votes? Why hasn’t he?) What is fascinating to me is the degree to which in Iran today — and in Lebanon — the more secular forces of moderation have used technologies such as Facebook, See Friedman, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

Brooks continued from 8 health benefits. You campaigned against that, but you’re still privately for it. You ran on a platform of hope and, boy, are you delivering. Every special interest in Washington lives in hope that they will get their pet idea incorporated into the final bill. None will come out and oppose you, because they live in hope. Even the different factions in your own administration live in hope. One of your health advisers pretended to smile at one of your economists! This brings you to the final stage, the scrum. This is the set of all-night meetings at the end of the congressional summer session when all the different pieces actually get put together.

You want the scrum to be quick, so that the bill is passed before some of the interests groups realize that they’ve been decapitated. You want the scrum to be frantic, so you can tell your allies that their reservations might destroy the whole effort (this is how you are going to get the liberals to water down the public plan and the moderates to loosen their fiscal rectitude). The scrum will be an ugly, allout scramble for dough. You can probably get expanded coverage out of it. You can hammer the hospitals and get much of the $1.2 trillion to pay for the expansion. But you won’t be able to honestly address the toughest issues and still hold your coalition. You won’t get the kind of structural change that will bring down costs long-term. In the

scrum, Congress will embrace the easy stuff and bury the hard stuff. Which is why you have MedPAC. That’s the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission that you want to turn into a health care Federal Reserve Board — an aloof technocratic body of experts that will make tough decisions beyond the reach of politics. You can take every thorny issue, throw it to MedPac and consider it solved. Conservatives will claim you’re giving enormous power to an unelected bunch of wonks. They’ll say that health care is too complicated to be run by experts from Washington. But you’ll say that you are rising above politics. You’ll have your (partial) health care victory. Not bad for a skinny guy with big ears.

Islamists’ guns trump protestors cell phones Flickr, Twitter, blogging and text messaging as their virtual mosque, as the place they can now gather, mobilize, plan, inform and energize their supporters, outside the grip of the state. For the first time, the moderates, who were always stranded between authoritarian regimes that had all the powers of the state and Islamists who had all the powers of the mosque, now have their own place to come together and project power: the network. The New York Times reported that Moussavi’s fan group on Facebook alone has grown to more than 50,000 members. That’s surely more than any mosque could hold — which is why the government is now trying to block these sites. But while that puts the moderate mainstream on par with the Islamists in communications terms, we should not get carried away. First, “moderates” is a relative term. Iraq’s prime minister,

Nouri Kamal al-Maliki, while more secular and nationalist than the extreme Iraqi Islamists, nonetheless wants to centralize power and solidify his Dawa group as the ruling party. Second, even if defeated electorally, the Islamists and their regimes have a trump card: guns. Guns trump cell phones. Bang-bang beats tweet-tweet. The Sunni Awakening in Iraq succeeded because the moderates there were armed. I doubt Ahmadinejad will go peacefully. And that brings me to Netanyahu. Israel was taken by surprise by events in Lebanon and Iran. And Israeli officials have been saying they would much prefer that Ahmadinejad still wins in Iran — not because Israelis really prefer him but because they believe his thuggish, anti-Semitic behavior reflects the true and immutable character of the Iranian regime. And Israelis fear that if a moderate were to take over, it would not herald any real change in Iran, or its nuclear ambitions but simply dis-

guise it better. But there are signals — still weak — that another trend may be stirring in the region. The Iranian regime appears to be splitting at the top. This could challenge Netanyahu’s security framework. Israel needs to be neither seduced by these signals nor indifferent to them. It has to be open to them and must understand that how it relates to Palestinians and settlements can help these trends — at the margins. But a lot starts at the margins. “The rise of these moderate forces, if it is real and sustained, would be the most significant long-term contribution to Israeli national security,” argued Gidi Grinstein, the president of the Reut Institute, a think tank. “If some of these moderate forces started to converge, then the overall status of Israeli security would improve radically.” It is still way too early to know, he said, “but Israel needs to be alive to this process and not simply rely on its old framework.”

The South Routt School Board will vote to adopt a preliminary 2009-10 budget when it meets at 7 p.m. today. The $7.3 million budget will be amended in November after the district determines its final student enrollment for the 200910 school year. Colorado public school districts are funded on a per-pupil basis, so exact revenues can’t be determined until after the Oct. 1 pupil count date. District officials plan on flat enrollment growth next year. In 2008-09, there were 436 students enrolled in Soroco schools, district Business Manager Dina Murray said. So far, 440 stu-

Next year’s $7.3 million budget is about $2 million less than it was for 2008-09, which included funding to complete the district’s heat and energy improvement project and the new South Routt Early Learning Center. The School Board will formally approve a final budget to be submitted to the state by Jan. 31, 2010. Also tonight, the School

Board will vote on an addendum to Superintendent Scott Mader’s contract that would allow him to retire under the state’s Public Employees’ Retirement Association program but continue to work as superintendent and collect his current salary. Murray said Mader will continue to work for the district but will start receiving retirement benefits from PERA for one year. “Many school employees do it,” she said. “In education, it’s a pretty common thing.” Murray said Mader’s $96,290 salary wouldn’t change while he receives PERA retirement benefits.

Apparently, magic tricks make a pretty good first impression. Card tricks endeared Matt Watwood, a rising senior at Soroco High School, to the more than 100 other participants June 7 to 13 at Colorado Boys State on the Colorado State University campus in Pueblo. “They’re the greatest ice breaker in pretty much everything I do,” the 17-year-old Watwood said. He was selected as one of two senators who will represent

Colorado at Boys Nation from July 17 to 25 in Washington, D.C. Boys State is a weeklong program that gives boys who just finished their junior year of high school hands-on experience with how government functions at city, county and state levels, said Bruce Sigler, chairman of Boys State for American Legion Post 189 in Yampa. To be accepted, interested students have to apply by writing a letter that includes why they want to be involved in the program. They also must demonstrate leadership skills, goals and service to their communities.

The governments are operated by the students who are elected to different positions within city and county governments and at the state level with a governor, lieutenant governor and two senators. “As far as we know, Matt is the only Boys State representative that we’ve sent from Routt County who has been named a senator,” Sigler said. American Legion posts have sent high school students to Boys State since 1935, according to the American Legion Web site. It said the program is now held in 49 states across the coun-

In his closing statement Wednesday, Routt County prosecutor Kerry St. James told the jury that Johnson’s self-defense claim is no defense at all against charges that he killed his girlfriend’s best friend to keep her from meddling in their tumultuous relationship. Jurors, who declined to comment after they left Larimer District Judge Daniel Kaup’s chambers Wednesday afternoon, apparently agreed. St. James argued that a selfdefense claim doesn’t account for the fact that Johnson took with him a knife, condoms, personal lubricant and a stun gun to Lori Bases’ Steamboat home in May 2000. Those supplies, St. James said, clearly indicated his intent to attack Bases. “He employed a stun gun on her,” he said.

Sustainability Council applying for grant Waste continued from 4 received a Recycling Resources Opportunities Grant for composting from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Epstein said Twin Enviro Services was the only Northwest Colorado company to receive the grant. Twin Enviro already composts solids from the wastewater treatment plant and beetlekilled wood. This is its first push toward composting food waste, Epstein said. “As we make sure that this works and it’s going to be sufficient to do this, we’ll grow it,” he said. Twin Enviro eventually will offer the compost materials to residents. “We’ll have compost available here in mid-summer, I’d say, available for sale to the general public,” Epstein said. Keeping organic material out of landfills is crucial to reducing pollution, Wahl said. “If you can get the organic

material out, you stop putting methane into the air, which is one of the main reasons for the climate warming,” she said. Organic waste doesn’t biodegrade naturally in landfills, Wahl said. She’s been researching the topic, and the information will be part of the Yampa Valley Sustainability Council’s educational campaign. The group wants to work with the city, Routt County, businesses and schools on its Zero Waste Initiative. Saturday’s Fun Fest will be a good start, Wahl said. “There’s a few little things that we couldn’t find a way to compost, recycle,” she said. “Like potato chip bags — those are the only things people should put in the landfill.” Ski Corp. encourages Fun Fest visitors to carpool, bike or take public transportation, Ski Corp. spokeswoman Loryn Kasten said. “Especially as we’re introducing that zero impact initiative, it’s a great reminder to be friendly to the environment,”

she said. The sustainability council is applying for a grant from the Yampa Valley Community Foundation for the initiative, but it will go ahead regardless, Chairwoman Angela Ashby said. The group hopes to work with other events, such as the Free Summer Concert Series. “It’s going to take a while for us to really get a foothold on it, but the goal is to involve a lot of groups in the process,” Ashby said. The council also needs volunteers to help with its promotion of education and outreach, Ashby said. As part of that educational push, Wahl described zero waste. “Zero waste is taking a look at your waste stream and saying what’s a better way to do this and realizing everything is a resource, you know,” Wahl said. “We can turn our organic materials into a resource for the future. It’s completing the cycle. When you put it in a landfill, it’s stopping a cycle.”

“A hipster wouldn’t want to be called a hipster, which is weird. … They want nothing to do with each other, but they all kind of want the same thing — kind of similar to zombies, which I thought was funny,” he said. Kirkpatrick devoted some time to art during his school years in Steamboat, but most of his free hours before and after graduation went to freestyle and other types of competitive skiing. He got into graphic art after he started designing stickers for a ski shop where he was sponsored. Once Kirkpatrick

“discovered the wonderful world of Adobe Illustrator,” it was awhile before he picked up a paintbrush or any physical art tool that wasn’t a mouse and computer keyboard. When he blew out his knee, Kirkpatrick turned back to old mediums. “I spent all of my time skiing and training for skiing and traveling for skiing, and when that stopped again, I didn’t really know what to do with myself,” Kirkpatrick said. “When that happened, I needed some kind of outlet for my creative willies.” — To reach Margaret Hair, call 871-4204 or e-mail mhair@steamboatpilot.com

from “things that come into my head, things that I randomly think about, or things that people say to me.” His work ended up on the walls at Urbane through a family connection to Mel LeBlanc and Trent Kolste, who co-own the store. The show will be up until the end of June. Aside from the brain series, Kirkpatrick also includes images he uses in his graphic design work, and he crafted a group of paintings modeled off cultural stereotypes. “There are the zombie hipsters, which is kind of making fun of my own tendencies and my friends’ tendencies,” Kirkpatrick said, offering an explanation for pieces with names such as, “I wouldn’t be caught dead here normally. … I’m just eating someone here.”

Alpine Floral and Atrium in Steamboat Springs will sell silk arrangements, dried flow-

ers, wreaths and cut flowers at a booth at the market. Owner Susanne Kane Bostrom said the time of the market allowed her to participate. She said she’d like to have a booth at the Steamboat Springs market, but that Alpine Floral frequently handles weddings on Saturdays when the market takes place. “This Friday night venue works out perfectly for us, and we do have Saturday business hours at the shop, so it would make it hard to be at the farmers market downtown,” Bostrom said.

She also said the price was right. Hayden’s market costs $10 for a booth, and vendors must get a $25 sales tax license from the town. Bostrom eventually might turn over flower sales to the Garden Club. “We’re just going to try a little bit of everything, but everything we do is handcrafted,” Bostrom said. She said she looked forward to seeing how the Hayden community reacted. “I thought it would be kind of fun to bring it to the people,” Bostrom said.

Saari Gallery. Having the show at Vertical Arts — which has opened up

the walls on its lower floor as a satellite space for Saari’s downtown venue — allows for more art on the walls in Steamboat, she said. Several of Williams’ works will be on display at Vertical Arts through the end of June. Many of those pieces combine Williams’ serene outlook on life with a highly physical creative process, which he described before a Steamboat Springs show in December 2008 as a volatile mix of painting, shaping, scraping and cutting, followed by hours of babysitting so his resin coating doesn’t warp or bubble. “My inspiration is the fact that I get to paint.

As part of tonight’s budget approval process, School Board members will vote to approve an interest-free loan resolution for the 2009-10 school year. The state loan program allows districts to borrow from the Colorado Department of

Education while they wait for their property tax payments to be allocated. Property taxes aren’t paid to the district until March, Murray said, but the district needs money to operate in the interim. Passing the resolution will allow Soroco to borrow a maximum of $3 million against property taxes. Soroco must pay back the loan as soon as it receives its property tax allocation.

Having taken just one government class in high school and not knowing much about how government works, Watwood said he thought attending Boys State would be a good way to learn. He said he didn’t approach the program intending to campaign for one of the senate spots but realized his experience with government was similar to that of the other students. Soon he became the “magic guy.” Watwood said his name wasn’t mentioned when it was announced he was elected as one of the senators. “They said, ‘I hope you bring some magic to D.C.,’” he said. “The crowd cheered. They knew it was me.” Watwood said he learned how government and parliamentary procedure helps things run in an orderly fashion without overwhelming the system and how different levels of government interact. But Watwood said he isn’t sure whether his week at Boys State will inspire him to get involved in politics. “But it definitely inspired me to get more involved with what I do,” he said. “There’s so much more that I know people could do. I didn’t know how much they could do and what input they had.” Watwood said Boys Nation is similar to Boys State but incorporates aspects of creating a government similar to the U.S. government and culminates with the election of a vice president and president. Three other high school students also represented Routt County at Colorado Boys State. American Legion Post 89 in Hayden sent Chris Miner and Jonathon Lee. American Legion Post 44 in Steamboat Springs sent Vladan Chase. Ron Nereson, the chairman for Boys State at American Legion Post 89 in Hayden, said sending high school students to the program is one of the major functions of the post.

Stocks mostly fall on bank ratings, FedEx warning NEW YORK

A cautious forecast from FedEx and a ratings downgrade of 18 banks gave investors new reasons to worry about the economy. Stocks mostly fell Wednesday, though health shares gained as the Senate made tentative steps on a health care overhaul plan. Overall, the market was held back by FedEx’s weak profit forecast and downbeat

comments about the economy. Analysts look to shipping companies’ business as a gauge of the economy’s strength. Financial stocks saw some of the biggest losses after Standard & Poor’s cut its ratings and revised outlooks on big banks. S&P cited concerns that the financial industry will remain volatile and that banks are expected to face tighter regulatory oversight. In a bright spot, consumer prices increased less than forecast in May. Investors have

been worrying that rising prices would threaten a recovery in the economy by curbing demand. Trading is likely to remain choppy ahead of Friday’s quarterly “quadruple witching” day, which marks the simultaneous expiration of a number of different options contracts. Dan Deming, a trader with Strutland Equities in Chicago, said stocks are more likely to gain ground during such times. The drop this week comes after stocks notched only modest gains last week. The sell-

ing has inserted a break into a three-month rally that had carried the S&P 500 index up 40 percent from 12-year lows. Many traders say expectations for an economic recovery had been too rosy. Richard Hughes, co-president of Portfolio Management Consultants, said the market had gotten ahead of itself during the spring rally and that the economy remains weak. “People are taking a pause, and it makes sense,” he said. The Dow Jones industrial

average fell 7.49, or 0.1 percent, to 8,497.18 after moving in and out of positive territory during the day. The broader S&P 500 index fell 1.26, or 0.1 percent, to 910.71, and the Nasdaq composite index increased 11.88, or 0.7 percent, to 1,808.06. FedEx said its fiscal fourthquarter loss widened because of hefty one-time charges and lower revenue, and the company warned it expects extremely difficult conditions in the next two quarters. FedEx fell 72 cents to $50.70.

Piñon Canyon measure killed

��

Amendment aimed to block Army training site expansion DENVER

The battle about expanding a southeast Colorado Army training site took another twist Wednesday when Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn said a House committee killed an amendment aimed at blocking expansion. But a spokesman for Rep. John Salazar, a Democrat who opposes expansion, said that was moot because the proposal that was killed simply reiterated what already is existing law. Lamborn, who supports the expansion, said Wednesday the proposal killed in the House Armed Services Committee would’ve required congressional authorization before the Army acquired additional for training ranges. Salazar’s spokesman Eric Wortman said congressional authorization already is required by law, and Lamborn said that even if the killed proposal had passed, it would not have been fatal to an expansion of Piñon Canyon.

Colorado Springs university reverses gay funding ruling THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLORADO SPRINGS

The head of the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs has reversed her ruling that a student leader violated nondiscrimination rules when he refused to formally approve funds for a gay and lesbian group’s event. But Chancellor Pam Shockley-Zalabak said she still found the actions of then-student body President David Williams “troubling.” Williams neither approved nor vetoed a request from a group called Spectrum for $2,100 for a National Coming Out Day event last fall. Williams allowed the funding to go through without his signature. Spectrum represents gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students. In a message to the Student Senate, Williams said if he signed the request, he would be signaling approval of Spectrum, but that he disagreed with the group’s “message and agenda.” Shockley-Zalabak said in December that Williams had violated Student Government

Association rules requiring student leaders to be objective and nondiscriminatory about funding. Williams appealed to the Board of Regents, which declined to hear the matter and instead sent it back to ShockleyZalabak. Last week, Shockley-Zalabak issued a statement saying Williams’ decision to let the funding go through without his formal approval didn’t cause any delay in the funding. She said the evidence was insufficient to conclude he broke the rules. But she said Williams did “engage in viewpoint-discriminatory conduct” and repeated her assertion that his actions were “troubling.” Williams told The Associated Press on Wednesday he feels vindicated by the new ruling but “I just wish it had come sooner.” He lost his re-election bid in April and blames his defeat on the controversy. His term ended June 1. Williams, 22, expects to graduate in December. He announced in May he will run for a seat on the El Paso County board of commissioners.

New financial rules proposed

Gay rights activists criticize Obama Critics say new benefits are too small a step toward equality Philip Elliott

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

President Barack Obama signaled to gay-rights activists Wednesday that he’s listening to their desire for greater equality in “a more perfect union.” But he didn’t give them even close to everything they want, bringing to the surface an anger that’s been growing against the president. “We all have to Obama acknowledge this is only one step,” Obama said in the Oval Office where he signed a memorandum extending some benefits, such as visitation or dependent-care rights, to the same-sex partners of gay federal employees. But the president’s critics — and there were many — saw the incremental move to expand gay rights as little more than pandering to a reliably Democratic voting bloc, with the primary aim not of making policy more fair but of cutting short a fundraising boycott. “When a president tells you he’s going to be different, you believe him,” said John Aravosis, a Washington-based gay activist. “It’s not that he didn’t follow through on his promises, he stabbed us in the back.” Obama has refused to take any concrete steps toward a repeal

of a policy that bans gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military, even though as a candidate he pledged to scrap the Clinton-era rules. He similarly has refused to step in and block the dismissal of gays and lesbians who face courts-martial for disclosing their sexual orientation. Obama said he wants to see the Defense of Marriage Act repealed and in its place a law that would give the partners of gay and lesbian federal employees health insurance and survivor benefits, among other things. “I believe it’s discriminatory, I think it interferes with states’ rights, and we will work with Congress to overturn it,” Obama pledged, flanked by lawmakers and advocates. Without that repeal, Obama’s ultimate goal of extending health

benefits would have to wait. Even those who joined Obama at the signing recognized it was only a first step to achieve what they were promised. “The community has been growing frustrated and the administration has been working on this since Day One,” said Joe Solmonese, the president of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest gay-rights group. Trying to quell that anger, Obama approved small changes in benefits available to same-sex couples. For instance, employees’ domestic partners can be added to a government insurance program that pays for long-term conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease. They also can take sick leave to care for a sick partner or non-biological child.

WASHINGTON

From simple home loans to Wall Street’s most exotic schemes, the government would impose and enforce sweeping new “rules of the road” for the nation’s battered financial system under an overhaul proposed Wednesday by President Barack Obama. Aimed at preventing a repeat of the worst economic crisis in seven decades, the changes would begin to reverse a determined campaign pressed in the 1980s by President Ronald Reagan to cut back on federal regulations. Obama’s plan would do little to streamline the alphabet soup of agencies that oversee the financial sector. But it calls for fundamental shifts in authority that would eliminate one regulatory agency, create another and enhance and undercut

Iran accuses US of role in election crisis Ali Akbar Dareini and Brian Murphy THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TEHRAN, IRAN

��

Iran directly accused the United States of meddling in the deepening crisis about a disputed presidential election and broadened its media clampdown Wednesday to include blogs and news Web sites. But protesters took to the streets in growing defiance of the country’s Islamic rulers. The sweep of events — including more arrests and a call for another mass opposition march through Tehran — displayed the sharpening attacks by authorities, but also the unprecedented challenges directed at the very heart of Iran’s Islamic regime: its supreme leader and the clericrun system.

from reporting in the streets. Officials also stepped up claims that foreign hands have been behind the unrest. An Iranian statement blamed

Washington for “intolerable” interference in the showdown about allegations of vote-rigging and fraud. The report, on staterun Press TV, cited no evidence.

��

Any serious shift of the protest anger toward Iran’s non-elected theocracy would sharply change the stakes. Instead of a clash about the June 12 election results, it would become a showdown about the core premise of Iran’s system of rule — the almost unlimited authority of the clerics at the top. For the moment, however, both sides appear to be using the same tactics since the disputed results showed hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the landslide winner. Opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi called for another mass rally Thursday in defiance of Iran’s most powerful figure, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has urged the nation to unite behind the Islamic state. Authorities rounded up perceived dissidents and tried to further muzzle Web sites and other networks used by Mousavi’s backers to share information and send out details of Iran’s crisis after foreign journalists were banned

street protests. They say they want something simple: their votes counted and their voices heard. What they will settle for — or push for — is a far bigger question. It’s still too early to determine if the street protests will morph into a solid political opposition movement led by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s top opponent, Mir Hossein Mousavi. And some Iranians have expressed doubt about people’s willingness to sustain the momentum. But in Tehran and other cities throughout the country, Mousavi supporters — from the upperand middle-classes — are sending a strong message. “The government doesn’t care about our votes, but we stand behind them. Mousavi stands up for our votes, and we follow him,” said Saham Boorghani, 26, who is close to Mousavi and an editor at the reformist Web site Iranian Diplomacy. Boorghani is typical of the young reformists who initially backed Mousavi — but that support is growing to include grandmothers, government employees

and hotel clerks. The last time Iran was engulfed in similar anti-government action was a decade ago when a deadly raid on a Tehran University dorm sparked six days of nationwide protests. At the time, they were considered the worst since the 1979 revolution that toppled the pro-U.S. shah and brought hard-line clerics to power. But the student-driven movement eventually fizzled, leaving many people more bitter but the system intact. This time, though, the protesters are not just affluent students and youths. The middle class is also flooding the streets and even conservative religious Iranians are joining the Mousavi supporters. Swathed in a long black chador, 21-year-old Saman Qahremani said she wanted to let the government know that many Iranians from all walks of life are angry. “When I learned about the result, I just felt hatred. They cheated us,” said Qajremani, who held a sign at Monday’s rally that read in English, “We just want our vote.”

ment. Shipley, the announcer of the 10-week, 20-performance rodeo series, said he’s ready. The rodeo returns to Steamboat Springs with a 7:30 p.m. Friday performance in downtown Steamboat.

With one tournament finished and another ready to begin, Triple Crown baseball in Steamboat Springs is getting into full swing. The youth baseball and softball tournaments, which have become a Steamboat summer staple, opened June 11 with the Mountain Magic Softball tournament and will continue through the first weekend in August. Starting Friday, the Steamboat Mountain Magic boys baseball tournament begins play and runs through Sunday. The following weekend, a second Steamboat Mountain Magic tournament begins before the Triple Crown World Series descends on Steamboat beginning June 30. The Mountain Magic teams usually consist of top Colorado teams. The second weekend will feature one Steamboat team. Games will be played in Steamboat, Oak Creek, Hayden and Craig. “It’s going to be about 400 teams and about 12,000 participants,” said Jason McCoy, Triple Crown Baseball World Series coordinator. McCoy said the World Series is down about 70 teams from last year. He said Triple Crown eased its restrictions on allowing team to enter tournaments. Teams still had to qualify or get validated to play. Each state determines validation, McCoy said, noting that teams can qualify by winning or placing second in a tournament. In Colorado, a team is validated if it plays in three tournaments from September to the beginning of the World Series.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Mark Hermacinski fell in love with rugby in 1977. While attending high school in London, Hermacinski picked up one of the world’s most popular sports. He continued playing in college and medical school and helped keep together the local Steamboat rugby club through tough times in the late 1990s. Now Hermacinski is intro-

ducing the game to youths. For the past two weeks, and until July 12, Hermacinski will be running youth rugby clinics from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays at Whistler Field. The cost for the clinic is $50 and includes a rugby ball and two shirts. Hermacinski said children can try it for a week for no cost. “We saw what happened to lacrosse the last five or 10 years in Steamboat, and we’re hoping to do that with rugby,” he

said. “There are a bunch of youth rugby teams on the Front Range.” The clinics go over the basics of rugby. Passing, catching, offensive and defensive tactics are taught. The clinics are noncontact, and Hermacinski encourages boys and girls to come. “We want to get the kids passing, throwing around and running,” he said. “Then when they get older, they can learn to tackle safely. Then they develop into the full deal. Anywhere in

the world, people can hook up with a rugby team. They are a very social team and will take you on.” That philosophy wasn’t lost on 11-year-old Sam McClure. The sixth-grader who wrestles and plans to play football never envisioned playing rugby. But along with eight others Tuesday, McClure was enjoying learning the game. “I think I like making friends and meeting new people the See Rugby, page 27

After a harsh winter and unseasonably moist spring, Adams Field at Howelsen Hill is set to open for play again Monday. Parks, Open Space and Recreational Services Department supervisor Ernie Jenkins said play would resume Monday. Work was done on the field throughout the spring — including resodding the outfield. “When the snow melted, Adams was a lake,” Jenkins said. “We lost so much grass to winter kill, then picked about the wettest spring on record to resod it.” The problem started when the drainage system wasn’t working adequately. But after working when they could, Jenkins said he’s excited for the field to open Monday. He said the drainage issues would be addressed later in the fall.

Rodeo continued from 25 “There’s a lot of work that goes into the first one,” Shipley said, preparing for his 25th year in the sport. “But I’m excited.” Shipley said there are plenty of reasons for local rodeo fans to be excited, too. Friday and Saturday’s events are filled to capacity with competitors. That’s not always the case and likely won’t be as the summer drags on. Cowboys and cowgirls are still fresh, flush and — thanks to some recently finished major rodeos in the region — in the area. “Most of them still have the little pot of money they put together to go rodeo,” Shipley said about the influx of riders. “They haven’t ridden much, so they’re still healthy. Attrition happens through the year, so it’s as good as it gets right now.” The same sentiment can be applied to the rodeo’s stock. Southwick’s Rocky Mountain Rodeo Company will provide the rough stock for the next three weekends. “This weekend we’ll have good stock and good cowboys,”

Brent Romick said. “Those are the proper ingredients. We’re going to start off this year with a bang.” There’s even one final incentive for locals to make it for the first performance of the season. Friday marks the final day patrons will be able to purchase the season-long rodeo passes. The $35 ticket gets fans into every rodeo they want all season, except the July 3 and 4 fire-

works-supplemented shows. A regular adult ticket to the rodeo costs $15. “It hasn’t gone as well as we expected, but we have sold quite a few so far,” rodeo board member Char Mighton said. “After Saturday, the price goes up to $50, so we could get a lot of people.” — To reach Joel Reichenberger, call 871-4253 or e-mail jreichenberger@steamboatpilot.com
