An adult sandhill crane tests the waters by crossing Routt County Road 42 in advance of its family. A few seconds later, another sandhill crane guided two chicks across the heavily traveled road.

Mary Barber sees them nearly every day in the spring. The longtime local watches as a family of sandhill cranes plays out a ritual that has stretched more than a decade. “They always nest in the marshy area near the pond, and once the chicks are big enough, they go across the road every morning, and they return every night,” she said Thursday. The birds’ slow and methodical march across the ranch lands west of Steamboat Springs usually goes unnoticed, but not by Mary and her husband, Glenn Barber. Mary says the route varies from day to day, but the basic path has remained pretty much unchanged since the birds started using the wetlands surrounding a small pond adjacent to their property. The birds spend the first few weeks each spring near the pond, which provides space for protection, mating and nesting. Once the chicks have hatched and grown, they begin to follow their parents on a daily odyssey across Routt County Road 42, to the open fields and another marshy area over the hill. In the evening, the parents and their offspring usually can be found making the return trip to the pond, where they are safe from foxes, coyotes and other predators. See Cranes, back page

When Kevin Lotz and about 15 fellow SmartWool employees arrived at the Rollingstone Respite House at about 8:30 a.m. Friday, they found an overgrown, mosquito-heavy obstacle. “It had not been cleared for years and years,” said Lotz, who is director of information technology for SmartWool. The volunteer group spent about eight hours clearing tree limbs, trimming brush and generally thinning what Lotz called “a jungle” from the area behind the house. The facility will offer respite care for terminally ill patients and adult day services when it opens. “It’s another phase of getting the house open,” said Liza Ranftle, director of home care and hospice for the Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association, which bought the Rollingstone house in January 2008. “We’ve been working on the interior through the winter, and

now it’s time to work on the landscaping,” Ranftle said. Appliances went into the building Wednesday, and workers were putting carpet on the steps inside the Respite House while SmartWool employees worked on the exterior Friday. There’s no firm date for when the Respite House might open, but VNA is hoping to hold an

open house as soon as August, Ranftle said. Cleaning up the grounds is just the first phase of completing the facility’s landscaping, Ranftle said. VNA hopes to eventually design walking paths, a gazebo and other implements to allow those using the facility See VNA, page 13

the 2009 grant round, which has yet to occur. “Our real mission is to build a healthy and vital community through the power of philanthropy, which we’ve been at for three decades,” Jay said. Put another way, Howell said See YVCF, page 12

Thirty years ago, a group of concerned residents created the Yampa Valley Foundation and rallied around the sole task of saving the financially struggling Alpine College in Steamboat Springs. That task was successfully finished, but the spirit of their work carries on. “That’s why we have Colorado Mountain College,” said Betsey Jay, executive director of what now is known as the Yampa Valley Community Foundation. “That got it going, and that was the chief cause.” But rather than fading away successfully, the foundation reorganized in 1996, added the word “community” to its title and adopted a broader mission. The organization now benefits a variety of causes throughout Routt and Moffat counties, primarily in the areas of arts and culture, education, environmental work, health and human services, and rec-

Beefed-up cook-off CattleWomen hosts grilling contest Margaret Hair

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Contestants in the Routt County CattleWomen’s eighth annual cook-off were expected to start setting up their grills at about 6:30 a.m. today. As of early Friday afternoon, six people were on board to pick up a cut of locally produced River Ranches beef brisket Friday night, said CattleWoman and cook-off organizer Michelle McKee. Contestants were allowed to marinate or otherwise season and prepare the meat in advance, but cooking would not be allowed until competitors showed up at Ace at the Curve this morning, McKee said. “Every year, we pick a different cut of beef, and this year, the cut of beef is beef brisket,” she said. A panel of local judges will rate the brisket and choose a winner, who will take home a Weber Spirit E-210 grill. Samples of all the beef entries will be available to the public starting at 11:30 a.m. Tickets for a grilling contest sampler plate are $8, and a lunch including barbecue beef, potato salad and baked beans provided by Steamboat Smokehouse will be available for $10. Hungry eaters can purchase a combined ticket for $15. Beef takes center stage at any CattleWomen event, but today’s cook-off also features a homemade pie contest, a dunk tank, a petting zoo with goats and lambs, and a contest that awards rodeo tickets for guessing the weight of a calf.

few “Steamboat celebrities” will take a few plunges in the dunk tank, McKee said. Registration for the grilling contest closed Wednesday. Bakers are invited to bring their pies to Ace until 10:30 a.m. today, and enter the contest for a chance to win a $100 savings bond from Mountain Valley Bank. In its eighth year, the cookoff has grown from a chance to eat and celebrate Routt County beef to a day for family fun, said CattleWoman Jo Stanko. “It has expanded from just the cook-off — originally it was the lunch and you could buy a ticket to go taste the samples — to kind of a fun family carnival where there are a lot of different activities,” Stanko said. The goal of the cook-off is “to educate people about beef and get our name out there, and to raise money for the scholarship fund,” McKee said. So far this year, the CattleWomen have given $4,000 in scholarship money to local students, and they plan to award about $5,000 more, she said. — To reach Margaret Hair, call 871-4204 or e-mail mhair@steamboatpilot.com

Mosquitoes are buzzing thickly in some spots across Routt County, and they might get worse this summer. The county doesn’t monitor mosquito numbers, Extension Agent CJ Mucklow said. The insects typically become more populous as the weather warms during summer, he said. The

county doesn’t spray for mosquitoes, nor does the city of Steamboat Springs. Hayden does aerial spraying occasionally. “I’ve been to some places that are awful already,” Mucklow said. Rob Kozar, operations manager for Colorado Mosquito Control, said his company has been hired to spray in Steamboat subdivisions in the past. The frequent rain could

help or hurt the battle against mosquitoes, he said. Moving water can wash away larva, but stagnant water is where mosquitoes hatch. “The more water you have, generally speaking, the more mosquitoes you’ll have unless you can inspect and larvicide those sites,” Kozar said. Steamboat could avoid a rapid mosquito development, See Mosquitoes, page 11

sideration. In its final draft form, the master plan makes a number of recommendations. They include adding additional playgrounds north of Lincoln Avenue; adding loop walks, picnic shelters and restrooms to some parks; repairing or replacing the fishing dock at Casey’s Pond; creating a park land dedication/fee-in-lieu policy; expanding the trail network; and developing master plans for the city rodeo grounds and undeveloped parks such as Rita Valentine Park and the Bear River parcel in western Steamboat.

Steamboat 700’s responsibility for a new road connecting Routt County Road 129 to U.S. Highway 40 in western Steamboat will be up for discussion Monday at a joint meeting of the Steamboat Springs City Council and Routt County Board of Commissioners. The Slate Creek connector road, as it is known, is called out in the city and county’s West Steamboat Springs Area Plan. It would stretch from C.R. 129 north of the Steamboat Springs Airport, through the proposed Steamboat 700 project west of city limits that is seeking annexation, to U.S. 40. “From a regional transportation perspective, a northsouth connection could alleviate the traffic demand at U.S. 40 and C.R. 129 by providing an alternate route for northcounty traffic destined to the west (Yampa Valley Regional Airport and Craig),” a city staff report states. But, noting that the proposed road would cross other tracts of developable land, the developers of Steamboat 700 don’t believe they should be required to build the entire thing. “Steamboat 700 believes that

other property owners along this alignment who choose to develop their property in the future should build the (Slate Creek connector) through their sites,” land-use consultant Peter Patten wrote in a letter to Routt County Manager Tom Sullivan. In its staff report, the city appears to prefer that the entire road be constructed. In addition to who builds the road, there also are questions about when it would be built, its alignment, its funding and whether the road actually is desirable. “The (Slate Creek connector) will be more important and useful to north county traffic,” Steamboat 700 transportation consultant Bill Fox wrote in a letter to the city. “The Steamboat 700 project does not trigger the need to complete the (Slate Creek connector) all the way to C.R. 129. From a roadway capacity perspective, the (Slate Creek connector) is not needed at all to serve the development traffic generated by Steamboat 700.” Also on Monday, the two elected bodies will discuss and potentially adopt a plan to widen U.S. Highway 40 to four lanes in western Steamboat and are scheduled to do the same with the final report of the Vision 2030 community planning project.

It’s taken nine months of part-time work for Dalton Reed to undo about 90 years of history’s wear and tear. The 1918 Liberty truck literally is a shell of its former self, sitting in a warehouse behind the Wyman Museum, under the careful attention of Reed, a 24year-old Steamboat Springs man who has a college degree in auto restoration from McPherson College in McPherson, Kan. He has until June 28 to finish restoring the Liberty, otherwise known as a World War I Standard B. Then Reed and other Wyman Museum officials will take the truck to Rawlins, Wyo., for a stop on the Military Vehicle Preservation Association 2009 Transcontinental Motor Convoy. The convoy will retrace the path of the original military vehicle tour led by then-Major Dwight D. Eisenhower before World War I. Terry Shelswell, convoy commander for this year’s tour, said the trip has allowed him and some 400 others to see America a new way. “We’re seeing the heartland of this country at 30 to 35 miles per hour, because that’s all these

old vehicles will go,” he said. “We have a chance to look people in the eye.” The Liberty was a major part of the original tour, having just come off the assembly lines of about 15 different car companies to carry troops and equipment across Europe in the defense of America’s allies. Reed’s Liberty looks every bit the part of a turn-of-the-century mechanized wagon, right down to the wheels’ wooden spokes. “Now, you have to remember, this is the truck that leapt the

COMMENTARY

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

Et tu, Big Business? Jonah Goldberg

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

What did you do when capitalism died, Daddy? I won’t be surprised to hear that question from my daughter by the time she gets out of college, or should I say the State Mandatory Voluntarism Training Facility. When liberals hear conservatives decry the death of capitalism, they titter and roll their eyes. “Oh, you paranoid right-wingGoldberg ers! You see Bolsheviks around every corner.” But such exasperation is the exhalation of concentrated ignorance. The absence of free markets isn’t necessarily Bolshevism, or even socialism. Capitalism’s death can come in many forms, by many different hands. After all, not all of Julius Caesar’s mur-

derers thought alike. They were united in their belief Caesar had to go, not necessarily about what would replace him. Caesar fought off his attackers until he saw that among their number was Brutus, his friend. “Et tu, Brute?” he exclaimed; “You, too, Brutus?” It was not the enemy blows but his friend’s betrayal that sapped his will to fight and brought his downfall. Some historians claim Caesar actually said, “Tu quoque, fili mi?” or, “You too, my child?” Whether that’s more accurate, it certainly seems a more fitting declaration as the coup de grace of capitalism’s murder is at the hands of its most successful child: big business. Everywhere we look we see the great and once-great beneficiaries of free markets running to the state for protection from the cruel bullying of competition. On health care, insurance companies and others repeat the mantra that they want to be “at the table rather than on the menu,” all the better to be positioned

as a tax collector of the welfare state. General Motors and Chrysler have gone from being pimped-out prostitutes of the state to outright chattel more akin to the leather-bound gimp in “Pulp Fiction,” eager to do the bidding of the president and the UAW. Once-proud companies like GE have become seduced by global warming schemes, because they recognize that there’s more money to be made selling white elephants to Uncle Sam than there is selling competitive products consumers want. Indeed, cap-and-trade taxes promise to deliver precisely the protectionist industrial policies the left has dreamed of for decades, only under a “progressive” label. This week, Philip Morris, the biggest of the Big Tobacco companies, supported and won passage of an “anti-tobacco” bill that will make it easier for Philip Morris (a subsidiary of Altria) to sell cigSee Goldberg, page 9

Tear down this cyberwall! Nicholas D. Kristof THE NEW YORK TIMES

The unrest unfolding in Iran is the quintessential 21st-century conflict. On one side are government thugs firing bullets. On the other side are young protesters firing “tweets.” The protesters’ arsenal, such as those tweets on Twitter.com, depend on the Internet or other communications channels. So the Iranian government is blocking certain Web sites and evicting foreign reportKristof ers or keeping them away from the action. The push to remove witnesses may be the prelude to a Tehran Tiananmen. Yet a secret Internet lifeline remains, and it’s a tribute to the crazy, globalized world we live in. It was designed by Chinese computer engineers in America

to evade Communist Party censorship of a repressed Chinese spiritual group, the Falun Gong. Today, it is these Chinese supporters of Falun Gong who are the best hope for Iranians trying to reach blocked sites. “We don’t have the heart to cut off the Iranians,” said Shiyu Zhou, a computer scientist and leader in the Chinese effort, called the Global Internet Freedom Consortium. “But if our servers overload too much, we may have to cut down the traffic.” Zhou said that usage of the consortium’s software has tripled in the past week. It set a record Wednesday of more than 200 million hits from Iran, representing more than 400,000 people. If President Barack Obama wants to support democratic movements on a shoestring, he should support an “Internet freedom initiative” in Congress, which would include $50 million in the appropriations bill for these censorship-

evasion technologies. The 21st-century equivalent of the Berlin wall is a cyberbarrier, and we can help puncture it. Zhou, the son of a Chinese army general, said that he and his colleagues began to develop such software after the 1999 Chinese government crackdown on Falun Gong (which the authorities denounce as a cult). One result was a free software called Freegate, small enough to carry on a flash drive. It takes a surfer to an overseas server that changes I.P. addresses every second or so, too quickly for a government to block it, and then from there to a banned site. Freegate amounts to a dissident’s cyberkit. E-mails sent with it can be encrypted. And after a session is complete, a press of a button eliminates any sign that it was used on that computer. The consortium also makes available variants of the software, such as See Kristof, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

VIEWPOINTS

arettes by making it harder for smaller, more innovative firms to compete. One way it will do that is by curtailing the First Amendment rights of tobacco companies, making it harder to advertise their products (including healthier alternatives to normal cigarettes). Philip Morris, maker of Marlboro and other established brands, already controls 50 percent of the market. That’s why it lobbied government to keep it that way. Also this week, the White House announced its plan to deal with “systemic risk” in the financial markets. The basic idea is that big firms — giant banks, insurance companies, etc. — cannot be allowed to fail if their failure threatens something called “stability.” The Obama administration is confident that with its

new organizational flow charts and enhanced job description for the Federal Reserve, bureaucrats suddenly will see clearly what they couldn’t see before. These regulators will know exactly when bubbles get too big, when booms last too long and when tens of thousands of managers, investors, actuaries and bankers make bad or sub-optimal decisions. The problem, other than the shortage of Jedis and shamans to fill these posts, is that big companies will understand the surest way to attain immortality is to become too big to fail. Once they’ve achieved that privileged status, these companies will become de facto wards of the state, insured for life at taxpayer expense like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and in exchange, they will do whatever Uncle Sam asks.

It’s too soon to tell which companies will leap at the opportunity to sell their souls for immortality, but you can bet that many of those already suckling the TARP teat will be among the first to celebrate the sagacity of the new system. Although doctrinaire socialists might feel betrayed by liberalism’s cozy embrace of big business, their betrayal pales in comparison to the bitterness of free-marketers who defend big business’s freedom to operate, only to see these businesses use that freedom to hide behind the skirts of the nanny state. Real freedom means the freedom to fail, as well as succeed. Big business wants to be protected from the former and deny competitors the latter. And their betrayal, more than anything, disheartens those who would defend both freedoms.

At day’s end, bullets usually trump tweets Kristof continued from 8 Ultrasurf, and other software to evade censors is available from Tor Project and the University of Toronto. Originally, Freegate was available only in Chinese and English, but a growing number of people have been using it in other countries, such as Myanmar. Responding to the growing use of Freegate in Iran, the consortium introduced a Farsi-language version last July — and usage there skyrocketed. Soon, almost as many Iranians were using it as Chinese, straining server capacity (many Chinese are wary of Freegate because of its links to Falun Gong, which even ordinary citizens often distrust). The engineers in the consortium, worrying that the Iran traffic would crash their servers, dropped

access in Iran in January but restored it before the Iran election. China is fighting back against the “hacktivists.” The government has announced that new computers sold beginning next month will have to have Internet filtering software, called Green Dam (the consortium already has developed software called Green Tsunami to neutralize it). More alarming, in 2006 a consortium engineer living outside Atlanta was attacked in his home, beaten up and his computers stolen. The engineers behind Freegate now are careful not to disclose their physical locations. Granted, these technologies are not a panacea. One Chinese journalist estimated that only 5 percent of the country’s Netizens use proxy software, and the Iranians themselves managed

a nice grass-roots revolution in 1979 without high-tech help. And at the end of the day, bullets usually trump tweets. Still, it does make a difference when people inside closed regimes get access to information — which is why dictatorships make such efforts to block comprehensive Internet access. Human-rights activists from Cuba, North Korea, Syria and elsewhere have appealed to Congress to approve the $50 million Internet freedom initiative, and Tom Malinowski, of Human Rights Watch, says he supports it as well. The Obama administration has been quiet on the proposal. For Obama, this would be a cheap and effective way of standing with Iranians while chipping away at the 21st-century walls of dictatorship.

Tips for fighting mosquitoes Mosquito Management Around the Home ■ Eliminate standing water in low spots, ditches, gutters and similar areas. ■ Empty weekly or remove receptacles that collect rainwater (bird baths, old tires). ■ Mosquito netting and tight screens can provide mosquito-free areas. ■ Some mosquitoes are attracted to lights. Reduce unnecessary lighting to make yards less attractive to mosquitoes. ■ “Bug zappers” do not reduce mosquito landing or biting. They attract and kill many insects but few are mosquitoes that attack humans. Many of the insects killed are beneficial because they feed on garden pests. ■ Ultrasonic devices, such as those that claim to mimic dragonflies, do not affect mosquito activity. ■ Light-colored clothing is less attractive to adult mosquitoes. Tightly woven fabrics give some protection against biting. ■ Citronella and Avon Skin So Soft can

Various aerosol insecticides are available for controlling mosquitoes indoors.

Dalton Reed stands with his hand on the wood-fortified front bumper of a 1918 Liberty truck, used in World War I to haul troops and supplies. Reed has been restoring it for the past nine months for the Wyman Museum, in anticipation of a historical military vehicle show June 28 in Rawlins, Wyo.

The only thing left for him to do is add some cosmetic accoutrements. “I didn’t know if we really seriously were going to get this truck ready for the show, but it looks like we will,” said Lou Wyman, founder of the Wyman Museum. Reed has been working for Wyman the past five years, mostly in the warehouse that now holds the Liberty truck, and he has a line of projects to keep him busy for the foreseeable future. Studebakers, Ford Model Ts and rarer cars, such as the 1915 Stevens-Duryea, a sevenpassenger carriage made by one of America’s first car companies. “He’s 24, but he already knows more about cars and all this than we do,” Wyman said, motioning to himself and Richard Estey, a man who has taken a special interest in the project and who has photographed it from beginning to now. “He’ll start forgetting it,

I have a car built in every decade from the teens to the 90s.” How long did it take to accumulate all that, a collection that includes a 1915 Maxwell, 1929 Ford Model A and a 1949 Ford truck? “Not near as long as it’s going to take to fix them all,” Reed said. “This has been a nine-month restoration, and that’s quick.” In that time, he’s done a little of everything that goes into making a car. He’s sanded and painted the frame, rebuilt the engine and manufactured some of his own parts when he can’t find an existing one. Reed can do that because he’s also a blacksmith. “That, blacksmithing, it was something I was always fascinated by, but I never thought I’d do anything with it,” he said. Reed then fetched a knife he made himself. It was one solid piece, and had a twisted handle grip. “I like it because I can make stuff out of trash,” he said. Between the cars and the blacksmithing, it can seem Reed is stuck in the past, working trades already forgotten. “I think a lot of those dying arts should have people to keep them alive,” he said. “I know with the blacksmith stuff, like this knife, there’s more time in it than it’s worth. That’s just a hobby really. But with restoration, there will always be a market in that, with collectors and everything.” Reed just got the Liberty’s engine running Tuesday. It’s a mammoth 425 cubic inches, but it packs only four cylinders, 55 horsepower and a top speed of about 14 miles an hour.

Once a Superfund site that was the U.S. military’s biggest chemical weapons factory, the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge is getting a “green” visitor’s center that will be an urban showpiece for the American West’s wildlife system. The refuge — where hawks swoop down for prey and bison roam over rolling hills — will receive $3.2 million in federal stimulus funds to help complete the center just 11 miles northeast of downtown Denver.

Powered by a wind turbine, solar panels and geothermal heat, the center will be the gateway to miles of prairie, woods and wetlands that is home to deer, coyotes and hundreds of bird species. Nationwide, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service received $280 million in stimulus funds, and $30 million of that went to its eight-state Mountain-Prairie region. The Arsenal will be the region’s gem, officials say. “Really, our only big urban area in this eight-state region is Denver, and this place is unique because we’re smack dab in the middle of that big urban area,”

said agency spokesman Matt Kales. The 14,000-square-foot visitor’s center will feature an observation deck, an aviary, an auditorium and exhibits chronicling arsenal history. The $7.4 million center is scheduled to be completed by the fall of 2010, said park ranger Sherry James, who heads visitors’ services. Refuge officials had socked away nearly $4.7 million for the center by selling 920 acres of land to suburban Commerce City. Officials weren’t sure where the rest would come from. “We held out long enough, then the stimulus package came through,” James said.

State unemployment up to 7.6 percent THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

Colorado’s unemployment increased slightly in May, cutting short a downward trend that some pointed to as hope for a recovery. State labor officials said Friday that Colorado’s seasonally adjusted rate was 7.6 percent in May, up from 7.4 percent in April. In May of last year, Colorado’s unemployment rate was 4.7 percent. April’s rate was the first monthly decline in unemploy-

ment since 2007. Officials say Colorado still is better off than much of the country. The national unemployment rate reported Friday was 9.4 percent, with eight states setting record highs and only two states not showing increases. The West region’s unemployment rate climbed above 10 percent, the first time the regional threshold has been broken in about 25 years. Last month, Colorado shed about 21,000 jobs, to 2,513,900. In May of last year, Colorado had 2,597,600 working residents.

State labor officials said unemployment rates usually go up in May, when seasonal ski resort workers look for new jobs. About 7,600 jobs were lost in leisure and hospitality. Manufacturing employment also declined, down 1,900 jobs, and the logging and mining sector dropped for the sixth consecutive month, shedding 900 jobs. The biggest losses in the past year came in the category of professional and business services, which is down 15.6 percent from May of 2008, a loss of 25,800 jobs.

Suthers filed the objection on behalf of the Colorado Motor Vehicle Dealer Board. “GM should not force its dealerships here in Colorado to unfairly bear the burden for its past mismanagement,” Suthers said Friday.

detrimental” agreements by threatening to drop a franchise agreement. Suthers wrote in his court filing that GM wants to require dealers to meet certain sales targets and make sure their floor plans can accommodate higher sales and inventory expectations. Suthers wrote that could violate state law, which prohibits a manufacturer from requiring dealers to make substantial changes in their premises if that would be unreasonable under current economic conditions. GM spokeswoman Susan Garontakos said the company is subject to the jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court and will follow its orders on dealership agreements. “We will take seriously our obligations to comply with all applicable laws,” Garontakos said. GM aims to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings as a new company in which the U.S. government would hold a controlling stake.

adequately protect the backcountry. Eight other Colorado and national environmental groups have asked Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to postpone a decision on Colorado’s roadless plan until a national policy is set. Critics say the plan would leave Colorado’s roadless areas the least protected nationwide. They point to the allowance of temporary roads for wildfire prevention, expansion of existing coal mining and some utility infrastructure. Some ski area terrain would be removed permanently from the inventory of roadless areas. Ritter was traveling Thursday and couldn’t be reached. State natural resource officials didn’t immediately return a phone message after business hours. Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., is reviewing the requests, said Udall’s spokeswoman, Tara Trujillo.

Colorado Judicial Branch spokesman Rob McCallum said Friday that Menendez, a former federal prosecutor, had been a state judge since September 2006 but decided to return to the U.S. attorney’s office. Then-Sen. Wayne Allard listed Menendez as a potential nominee for U.S. District Court in Colorado in 2008, but she was never chosen by the White House. Her resignation is effective July 17.

Health care overhaul stumbles but keeps moving Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar and Erica Werner THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

Democrats got a sobering glimpse of what it would look like if their ambitious health care overhaul ran into a wall — and they quickly pulled back to regroup and get moving again. Trying to regain the initiative, House Democrats on Friday unveiled draft legislation they said would cover virtually all of the nation’s nearly 50 million uninsured

as President Barack Obama has promised. However, they offered few details about how to pay for it. The president welcomed their action as “a major step toward our goal of fixing what is broken about health care while building on what works.” But in the Senate, two committees were getting bogged down, struggling to cope with a trillion-dollar-plus price tag during 10 years. Their House colleagues simply steered away from costs and focused on the promised benefits of the legislation.

Republicans weren’t cutting them any slack and sharpened their criticism. “I fear this plan will force tens of millions of Americans to lose their current health care coverage,” said Rep. David Camp, RMich., one the top GOP lawmakers on health. The Obama White House played down the turmoil as nothing more than insideWashington drama. “We continue to put one foot in front of the other in the march toward health care reform,” declared press secretary Robert Gibbs.

Arizona killings spark activist risk

Major provisions of the 850page House bill would impose new responsibilities on individuals and employers to get coverage, end insurance company practices that deny coverage to the sick and create a new government-sponsored plan to compete with private companies.

The insurance industry said it has fundamental problems with the proposal for a government plan but stopped short of declaring outright opposition to the overhaul. House Democrats say they won’t reveal how they intend to pay for their plan until later.

So, authorities say, Forde and two men dressed up as Border Patrol agents and broke into the southern Arizona home of a man they thought was a drug dealer, hunting for money or drugs to sell. They found neither but killed the man and his 9-year-old daughter. The May 30 killings rocked an anti-illegal immigration movement that prides itself on

being vocal but not violent and added to a growing list of activists unafraid of using violence to advance their aims. In recent weeks, a white supremacist was accused of killing a black guard at the U.S. Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., and an ardent abortion foe allegedly shot and killed a prominent Kansas abortion doctor.

House office budgets increase 2 airlines continue to Jim Abrams

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

The recession and increasing joblessness has millions of Americans cutting their household budgets, but times are flush for lawmakers. The House of Representatives, with little comment or opposition, on Friday approved an 8 percent increase in the budget for members’ office expenses. House members will get an average $1.5 million in the budget year starting in October to run their Washington and district offices and cover travel and other official expenses. Overall,

the budget for what the House calls members’ representational allowances, or MRAs, will jump $51 million to $660 million. The money is part of a $3.7 billion spending bill to run Congress and its associated agencies such as the Library of Congress and the Capitol Police the House passed Friday. Tom Schatz, president of Citizens Against Government Waste, said it was “more than ironic that Congress is going in the opposite direction” at a time when most businesses, including those now being run by Washington, are trying to find ways to reduce spending. “It shows a lack of under-

standing of how people are getting along these days,” he said. There was little discussion of MRAs during debate on the bill, although Rep. Dean Heller, RNev., complained that he had been barred from offering an amendment that would have frozen the money at this year’s level. “I’ll be the first to tell you that my office could use an MRA increase,” Heller said. “Traveling my largely rural district and staying in touch with thousands of Nevadans takes a significant amount of MRA funds.” But with other Americans cutting back, “this body must be a part of this sacrifice, and that starts here, in our offices.”

California look to inmates for savings Don Thompson

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO, CALIF.

With California slipping into a financial sinkhole, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is proposing to save more than $180 million by cutting short the sentences of thousands of immigrants in the state’s prisons and turning them over to federal authorities for deportation. The idea faces certain hurdles — for one thing, commuting some sentences will require court approval — and immigration authorities warn that

a mass release of inmates from California and other states could swamp the federal system, which already is at capacity. In recent years, other states have struck agreements with federal authorities to deport some inmates before their sentences were up, but those releases were done on a much smaller scale than what California is proposing. The state’s plan would involve as many as 19,000 inmates. Those among them who committed sex offenses or violent crimes would not be eligible for early release, Page said Friday.

��

Nearly 65,000 immigrants — most of them in the U.S. illegally — are serving time in the U.S. for state crimes. Once immigrants have done their time in state prison, the federal government takes custody of most of them and begins deportation proceedings against them, either because they are illegal immigrants or because they committed crimes while in the U.S. legally. The government reimburses states for some of the expenses involved in imprisoning immigrants, but states say the money is not nearly enough to cover their costs.

add fees on top of fees Joshua Freed

Baggage fees

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINNEAPOLIS

As if charging $15 to check a bag weren’t enough, two airlines are asking for $5 more beginning this summer if you pay at the check-in counter — a fee on top of a fee. Of course, you always could pay your baggage fee from home. The airlines call it the “online discount.” If airlines can get away with that, what’s next? Rather than raise fares in the middle of a recession, they’re piling on fees to make money — fees for bags, fees to get through the line faster, even fees for certain seats. United Airlines alone expects to rake in more than $1 billion this year in fees ranging from baggage to accelerated frequent-flier awards. That’s more than 5 percent of its revenue. The most likely new fees are those that some airline, somewhere, has tried. Fees usually originate with one or two airlines, and competitors watch to see whether passengers accept them or revolt. For instance: ■ US Airways and United are hitting passengers up for $5 to pay their baggage fees at the airport instead of online. United implemented the fee

A rundown of baggage fees at major U.S. airlines: ■ American Airlines, AirTran Airways, Continental Airlines: $15 for the first checked piece of luggage, $25 for the second. ■ Alaska Air: Passengers traveling on tickets purchased before May 1, or for travel before July 7, can check one bag for free. The second bag is $25. Beginning July 7, Alaska is adding a $15 charge for the first bag. ■ Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines: $15 for the first, $25 for the second. For international tickets, the first two checked bags still are free. But for flights to Europe, Delta and Northwest are adding a $50 charge for the second checked bag beginning with tickets bought May 23 for travel beginning July 1. ■ JetBlue Airways: First bag is free, $20 for the second. ■ Southwest Airlines: First two bags are free. ■ United Airlines: $15 for the first, $25 for the second, if paid online. If paid at the airport, United adds an extra $5 for tickets purchased beginning May 14. ■ US Airways: $15 for the first, $25 for the second. Beginning with flights July 9, US Airways will add $5 if the fee is paid at the airport for tickets purchased beginning April 23. — The Associated Press

Obama sends out message to fathers

��

Ben Feller

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

��

Growing up without a father left a hole in his heart, President Barack Obama told boys at the White House on Friday in a remarkably personal Father’s Day weekend message. He implored fathers everywhere — and the children when they’re older — to be involved in the lives of their own Obama children. “This isn’t an obligation,” said the father of two in a message to millions of wayward dads. “This is a privilege to be a father.” Obama spent hours Friday with teenagers, young men, community mentors and everyday dads in hopes of launching what he called a national conversation about responsible fatherhood. Each story was personal. But one of them commanded the most attention: his own.

He spoke at length about how his father, Barack Obama Sr., left home early. The future president was just 2 at the time and saw his dad only once more, at age 10, a short visit that still left a lasting imprint. “I had a heroic mom and wonderful grandparents who helped raise me and my sister, and it’s because of them that I’m able to stand here today,” he told a throng of youngsters and leaders of community organizations. “But despite all their extraordinary love and attention, that doesn’t mean that I didn’t feel my father’s absence. That’s something that leaves a hole in a child’s heart that a government can’t fill.” In candid terms, Obama said he promised himself he would not repeat his own father’s mistakes. “Just because your own father wasn’t there for you, that’s not an excuse for you to be absent also. It’s all the more reason for you to be present,” Obama told the young men in his audience.

Iran’s leader seeks truce Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: End protests or risk ‘bloodshed’

��

Ali Akbar Dareini and Brian Murphy THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

��

TEHRAN, IRAN

Iran’s supreme leader sought Friday to end the deepening crisis concerning disputed elections with one decisive speech — declaring the vote almost certainly will stand and sternly warning opposition leaders to end street protests or be held responsible for any “bloodshed and chaos” to come.

��

20478958

But a first sign of possible resistance came shortly after nightfall in Tehran. Cries of “Death to the dictator!” and “Allahu akbar” — “God is great” — rang from rooftops in what’s become a nightly ritual of opposition unity. The sharp line drawn by Iran’s most powerful figure, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is a gambit that pushes Iran’s opposition to a pivotal moment: either back down or risk a crushing response from police and the forces at Khamenei’s disposal — the powerful Revolutionary Guard and their volunteer citizen militia, the Basij. It also presents important tests for opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi. He now must examine his willingness to challenge the Islamic leadership he once served as prime minister. There are further questions about his ability to control his own followers, who are waiting for a clear response to Khamenei’s edict before a rally planned for today. Since the June 12 election, Mousavi has become the figurehead for a broad collection of demonstrators — from the most liberal-leaning reformists to religious conservatives — brought together by claims that fraud was behind the landslide re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Some could be prepared to take their protests to the limit. Many others, however, have no interest in an all-out mutiny against the country’s Islamic system and know authorities have the tools to strike back without mercy.

Barack Obama holds to measured course in Iran WASHINGTON

The Obama administration Friday stuck to a measured response to the uprising in Iran concerning a disputed presidential election, even as both houses of Congress voted overwhelmingly to condemn an official crackdown on mostly peaceful demonstrations in the streets of Tehran. Administration officials said they remained convinced that the wiser U.S. course was caution Obama over confrontation. President Barack Obama is coming under growing domestic political pressure to speak out more forcefully in support of protesters warned by Iran’s supreme leader Friday to end their huge street rallies. In the strongest message yet from the U.S. government, the House voted, 405-1, to condemn Tehran’s crackdown on protest rallies and the government’s interference with Internet and cell phone communications. The Senate followed suit later in the day. The resolution was initiated by Republicans as a veiled criticism of Obama, who has been reluctant to criticize Tehran’s handling of disputed an election that left hard-liner President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in power. The resolution expresses support for “all Iranian citizens who embrace the values of freedom, human rights, civil liberties and rule of law” and affirms “the importance of democratic and fair elections.” It also condemns “the ongoing violence” by the government and pro-government militias against demonstrators, as well as government “suppression of independent electronic communications through interference with the Internet and cell phones.” Obama’s chief spokesman, Robert Gibbs, said the White House welcomed the resolution, calling its language consistent with the president’s. “As the president has said, we’re not going to be used as political foils and political footballs in a debate that’s happening by Iranians in Iran,” Gibbs said. He said the administration’s view is that Iranian leaders would use fiercer U.S. support for the protesters to paint them as puppets of the Americans. “That’s not what we’re going to do,” Gibbs said. A long-standing source of Iranian anger at the U.S. is the CIA’s role in toppling the elected government of Mohammad Mosaddeq in 1953 and replacing him with the late Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. In the 1979 Islamic revolution that overthrew the Shah, student militants occupied the U.S. Embassy and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days. In April 1980, Washington severed diplomatic relations with Iran. Obama, who hopes to draw Tehran into talks aimed at curtailing its nuclear ambitions and potentially ending the 29-year-old rupture in diplomatic relations, has stayed mostly neutral on the election dispute. He has spoken in measured terms about supporting Iranians’ aspirations to have their voices heard. In Tehran, Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei sternly warned about a crackdown if protesters continue their massive street rallies. In his first response to a week of protests of the disputed election, Khamenei said opposition leaders “will be held accountable for all the violence, bloodshed and rioting” if they do not halt the rallies. Khamenei also said the balloting had not been rigged. — The Associated Press

Cofer faces tough choice

Ex-Sailor to decide about playing ball Luke Graham

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Westin Cofer had always loved everything about football. Opposing teams in high school planned around the former Steamboat Springs High School linebacker, and Cofer earned a partial scholarship to Mesa State College in Grand Junction following his senior year as a Sailor in 2006-07. After his freshman season at Mesa State, Cofer transferred to Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, Ga., hoping to play at a higher level. But now Cofer’s at a crossroads many athletes have seen before. He’s sitting on the decision of whether to continue his playing career. “I soul-searched a bit,” Cofer said Friday from Georgia. “I’m still soul-searching on whether to get back into football shape again.” It’s been a trying year for Cofer. Last year, he planned to tryout for Georgia Southern, but 10 days before tryouts began, he pulled his hamstring in a workout. He still attended the tryouts, but his 40-yard dash time was markedly slower, and he couldn’t complete all the drills. Cofer still attended school, made good grades and found a niche in business marketing. When summer rolled back around and the training regimen for football came up again, life happened. Cofer said he didn’t necessarily need football in his life anymore. With his school life and social life taking up a good portion of his time, Cofer said it wasn’t all about football anymore. “I still lie in bed and have See Cofer, page 27

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The swarms of Ford Mustangs that have descended upon Steamboat Springs have been about as difficult to spot as the ski mountain on a sunny day. Basically, walk outside downtown and they dominate the view.

They weren’t very difficult to hear Friday, either. Nearly 400 of the shiny dream machines roared across the Meadows Parking Lot in the autocross portion of the weekend-long Rocky Mountain Mustang Roundup. Racers tore through an elaborate maze of cones, fighting for pride and leaving evidence of their battle in long, black tire streaks.

This year’s autocross course differed from years past, and many found it more difficult. The best made it through in about 50 seconds. “It was more technical this year,” said Hap Schadler, who helped organize Friday’s event. “It was a lot more challenging, longer and in some regards a little faster.” The trick to successfully nav-

igating the cones was control, many racers said. While the tight and turnfilled track kept speeds below about 40 miles per hour, power still was key to a successful run. “It’s totally different than racing on a track,” Denver enthusiast Jack TerHar said. See Mustang, page 26

As tradition goes for the Steamboat Springs High School boys basketball team, this is the time when playoff contenders are made, league championships are won and

players build on skill sets. So while the official start to the 2009-10 season is still more than six months away, Thursday’s camp at Western State College in Gunnison is officially the start of the season. “For us, basketball players are made in the summer-

time,” Steamboat coach Luke DeWolfe said. “Once you get into the season, it’s really too late to establish fundamentals and the skill sets a player needs. We focus on summer basketball, getting in the gym and giving them the opportunity to compete. It’s been a staple for this program for

years and years.” As with each season, the summer is a place where December, January and February questions start to get answered. For the Sailors, those questions start with finding a post presence. See Basketball, page 26

His 2005 Ford GT — packing 550 horsepower and capable of 200 miles per hour — roared as loud as any vehicle did as it rocketed down straightaways. Its power proved too much when several drivers TerHar let behind the wheel spun out on the lot’s concrete. Just to fit in, TerHar also packed along a 2010 Mustang. “Steamboat’s a great place for this event. They are diehard Ford people, and I’m a diehard Ford guy,” TerHar said. “It’s just a great deal.”

Few of the hundreds who gathered to watch the displays of speed and power Friday would disagree. Still, it was clear this celebration isn’t just about the Mustang. Ford products of all sort were raced and cheered. A Ford Lightning truck made at least a dozen laps on the course.

Teams from all classifications and all areas of Colorado are expected to attend. Steamboat is bringing 23 players and three teams. The Sailors should get at least six games at the camp. In addition to the camp, Steamboat has been having open gyms three times a week. The team will go to a camp at the University of Wyoming from July 6 to 8. There also is potential that the team will scrimmage several other Western Slope League teams throughout the summer.

Gone are starting forwards Nelson Brassell and Alex Wood — both Western Slope League first-team selections. Although Steamboat loses some size, it’s hard not to put its backcourt up against any team in the league and, potentially, in Class 4A. The Sailors return Isiah Forsyth, Charles Wood and Jack Spady, all three of which will be returning to the starting lineup for their second year. The camp won’t determine who will open the season on the varsity or as starters. Instead, DeWolfe said, it gives the team a chance to start to play together. “It’s getting continuity,” he said. “It gives guys the opportunity to show skills and learn

Mike Glenn opens 30th basketball camp for deaf ATLANTA

Former NBA player Mike Glenn has been honoring his dad for 30 years with a basketball camp that speaks loudly to dozens of high school students who can’t hear. This Father’s Day, the NBA broadcaster, who played 10 years in the league, will open the 30th Mike Glenn Basketball Camp for the Hearing Impaired. His father, Charles Glenn, worked at the Georgia School for the Deaf in Cave Spring, Ga., about 83 miles northwest of Atlanta, for almost 20 years. Students at the school accepted the younger Glenn, who quickly learned sign language and was motivated to take up his father’s work. Each year, Glenn welcomes about 75 to 100 hearing impaired high school boys and girls from several states for a week of basketball and fun. This year’s anniversary has given him reason to reflect on three decades of campers. “It is a real milestone,” Glenn said about the camp that begins Sunday. “When I started it, it was not with the intention this was necessarily something I was going to be doing 29 years later. I did it just as an extension of what I had been brought up in, of sharing with people.” Glenn says his specialty hasn’t changed throughout the years.

Mike Weir shoots 64 at US Open FARMINGDALE, N.Y.

Tiger Woods couldn’t get off the course fast enough. Mike Weir, Phil Mickelson and a host of others on the right side of the rain at the U.S. Open were thrilled they didn’t have to leave. Sunshine made a cameo Friday at Bethpage Black, enough to dry the fairways and keep the greens soft. It Weir was a perfect combination for scoring at the U.S. Open, and Weir seized on the rare opportunity. Despite a double bogey on his back nine, the former Masters champion closed with back-to-back birdies for a 6-

under 64, giving him a two-shot lead against Peter Hanson, of Sweden, and the lowest score in the U.S. Open in six years. Not long after he finished, Weir and the late starters headed back out for the second round. “It’s about as easy as this course will ever play,” Weir said between rounds. “Our side definitely had a big advantage. For us to be able to play in nice conditions all day like this is huge.” Phil Mickelson, whose popularity in New York shot up even more after disclosing his wife has breast cancer, challenged for the lead until he missed some short putts coming in and settled for a 69. Even after two bogeys on the last four hours, his spirits were high. “We want to play as much

golf as we can,” Lefty said. Of the 25 players who shot par or better in the first round, only seven came from the first wave of tee times. Graeme McDowell, of Northern Ireland, and amateur Drew Weaver were the only early starters to break par. The course played almost two strokes harder in the morning — averaging 74.8 to 72.9 for the afternoon players. Woods, the defending champion, returned to finish 12 holes Friday morning and slowly worked his way up the leaderboard with two birdies and a good par save that put him even for the tournament heading to the 15th. Too bad he couldn’t have stopped there. He hit a drive into the deep rough and had a chip roll 50 feet down a ridge to take double bogey. He had mud on the side

Roger Federer is building something of a reputation as an on-court crier, and he remembers well the first time he wept after winning a match. It was July 2, 2001, at Wimbledon, the tournament that means more to him than any other. Federer was 19, up-andcoming and making his Centre Court debut in the fourth round when he stunned Pete Sampras, who was 29, seeded No. 1 and seeking an eighth Wimbledon title. “I used to cry almost after every single match I lost as a junior. It’s not at all a feeling like it’s the end of the world — of course not, because tennis is not everything — but some people can control it, some people can’t,”

That 2008 disappointment notwithstanding, Federer eagerly awaits returning to the grasscourt Grand Slam tournament. “When you get there, you start to get into your frame of mind: It’s just, like, ‘All right, let’s go again here. I know what it takes. Settle in. Enjoy being a member,”’ Federer said with a little laugh.

of his ball and missed the green in the worst spot on the 16th for bogey. And he made another bogey on the 18th after driving into a bunker. Woods dropped four shots over the last four holes for a 74, his highest start at a major since a 76 at Winged Foot in the 2006 U.S. Open, the only time he has missed a cut in the major.

Jason Marquis shut down the Pirates with a masterful mix of sinkers and sliders through 8 2/3 innings and the Colorado Rockies beat Pittsburgh, 7-3, on Friday night for their 14th win in 15 games. Marquis (9-4) allowed three earned runs on eight hits while coming within an out of his sixth complete game in his 10-

time since April 11. This was Tracy’s first game against the Pirates, whom he managed in 2006-07. Through the first five innings, Marquis surrendered just Freddy Sanchez’s fluke single in the first inning. Nyjer Morgan took off from first base on the pitch, and Sanchez hit a routine ground ball toward second baseman Clint Barmes that struck Morgan and dribbled into center field.

Stocks log 1st weekly loss since early May THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK

Caution once again has overcome the stock market. Stocks finished mixed Friday, leaving all the major indexes with their first weekly loss since early May. Tech, financial and retail stocks gained, while utilities and energy stocks were lower. The market began the day

stronger, after surprisingly good reports the day before regarding jobs and manufacturing. But the early gains gave way to selling in the afternoon, saddling the Dow Jones industrials with four days of losses during the past five. With little in the way of corporate or economic news Friday, prospects were poor for restarting a rally that powered the market up as much as 40 percent this spring after

hitting its lowest level in more than a decade in early March. Traders have grown worried in recent weeks that an economic recovery may be more subdued than originally hoped and that the huge run-up in stocks may have been overdone. “There’s no question in my mind that the economy is improving,” said Phil Orlando, chief equity market strategist at Federated Investors. “But

investors are betting on some sideways consolidation rather than a continuation of a sharp spike in share prices.” Trading also was jumpy because of the occurrence of a quarterly “quadruple witching,” which marks the simultaneous expiration of four different kinds options and futures contracts. The Dow Jones industrial average declined 15.87, or 0.2 percent, to 8,539.73, with 16

��

of the 30 stocks that make up the average posting losses. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index increased 2.86, or 0.3 percent, to 921.23 and the Nasdaq composite index gained 19.75, or 1.1 percent, to 1,827.47. About three stocks increased for every two that declined on the New York Stock Exchange where consolidated volume came to a heavy 5.47 billion shares, compared with 4.58 billion shares the day before.

STEAMBOAT TODAY

Colorado Division of Wildlife manager says cranes usually return in spring Cranes continued from 1 But Mary also sees other dangers to the cranes every day. The drivers who pass in front of her home rarely notice the houses, silos and farm fields that paint the background of their daily commute. She understands progress but is afraid some of the drivers pose more of a threat to the birds than any of natural predators. “The traffic on 42 is atrocious,” Mary said. “Most people will not stop, and very few even slow down.” In the past, one of the adult cranes flew into the windshield of an oncoming car to protect the young chicks. The move startled a driver, but the crane wasn’t hurt. “The bird just flew up and kind of landed on the windshield,” Glenn said. “The car wasn’t gong fast enough to hurt the bird, but it sure got the driver’s attention.” The Barbers’ biggest fear is that one of the birds will be hit and killed while making the trek from one side of the road to the other. In an effort to prevent that, Glenn and Mary have been known to stand out

JOHN F. RUSSELL/STAFF

Longtime rancher Glenn Barber visits a small pond near his property that has become a home to a family of sandhill cranes. The pond provides a protected setting for the birds to raise their chicks, but the family has been forced to cross a busy road.

few weeks, the chicks should begin to fly and hopefully be able to avoid the dangerous trip across C.R. 42. But Glenn Barber said the birds normally stay through the summer, and in the past, the cranes have been seen walking across the road into August. He said the birds usually leave in late summer, but he looks forward to their return each spring.

“Sure, we have a connection with the birds,” Glenn said. “I don’t think they recognize me, but we sure like having them around. I hope people will slow down or take the time to stop.
