planned to spend as much time as possible outdoors last weekend. Instead, I remained inside watching TV and surfing the Web. Revolution does that to me. In this case, the pro-democracy Iranian Revolution — fueled by outrage about the sham reelection of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as dictated by Iran’s “supreme leader” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei — captured my attention. All Americans should support the revolution. The outcome will impact events here and abroad for decades to come. Specifically, the revolution may determine whether Iran remains an autocratic theocracy pursuing nuclear weapons and the annihilation of Israel while promoting terrorism or, just possibly, starts on the path toward the creation of a democratic republic open to détente in the Middle East. Since the 1979 Iranian Revolution, Iran has sponsored terrorism around the world by providing funding, training and logistical support to terrorist organizations including Hezbollah, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The

U.S. State Department, along with the Council on Foreign Relations and other organizations that monitor terrorism, has labeled Iran the most active state sponsor of terrorism. Just how active and deadly is Iran’s Islamic theocracy? In addition to slaughtering thousands of innocent civilians, Iranian-backed terrorists killed 241 U.S. servicemen in the 1983 truck bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon; kidnapped and murdered U.S. Marine Col. William Higgins in 1988; detonated the truck bomb that killed 19 U.S. servicemen at their residence in Saudi Arabia in 1996; and supplied bombs used to kill our military men and women serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. What will it take for this fledgling revolution to spread its wings in flight toward true democracy and the possibility of a small but important step

toward peace in the Middle East? What can each of us do to assist those Iranians protesting to have their votes count in an effort to bring about a change that could lessen the likelihood of future generations of Americans fighting and dying in the Middle East? For one, we can bear witness to the brutality and repression of the Islamic theocracy that currently dominates the Iranian people and raise our voices in support of the pro-democracy movement as did the “Angel of Iran” — Neda Agha Soltan — the young woman who is now the symbol of the revolution. Neda was shot in the chest and killed by Iranian security forces as she stood in solidarity with those protesting the fraudulent election near Tehran’s Freedom Square last Saturday. The video of her murder — broadcast around the world on YouTube — is chilling. The plea in Neda’s haunting eyes as she looks directly into the camera during the last moments of her life forever burns the soul of any viewer. See Douglas, page 16

Decisions made statewide could affect whether Steamboat Springs’ Safeway employees go on strike. Laura Chapin, spokeswoman for United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local No. 7, said Safeway workers’ contract expires today. The workers voted May 8 to approve a strike, which was put on hold while negotiations continued. The union now is waiting for corporate officials to set negotiation dates, she said. The contract in question is only for Denver-area workers, said Kris Staaf, Safeway spokeswoman for the Denver region, which includes several states. The company hasn’t presented a settlement offer to the Western Slope union, she said. Local union members are working under an extension of their previous con-

tract, Staaf confirmed. “A lot of times what’ll happen is the Western Slope will follow Denver,” she said. Safeway employees on the Front Range rejected Safeway’s most recent offer this week. “We have a strike authorized if we decide to go that route,” Chapin said about the Denverarea contract. “But hopefully what will happen is the corporation will come up with a new contract for the workers that actually provides decent wages and pensions.” Staaf said Safeway offered wage increases. Pension plans are taking a hit all over because of the economy, she said. The union represents City Market, Safeway and Albertsons workers. City Market contracts expired at the end of May, Chapin said. City Market workers have rejected contract offers. Only Safeway employees have authorized a strike. Staaf said she expected barSee Grocery, page 14

COMMENTARY

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

Vice and spice Maureen Dowd

THE NEW YORK TIMES

Sneaking a smoke now and again is not the worst presidential flaw imaginable. Our president is positively monkish compared with Silvio Berlusconi, whose Vesuvial vices spurred a trio of women academics in Italy to write an “Appeal to the First Ladies.” It urges Michelle Obama and other wives of world leaders to boycott next month’s G-8 summit in Italy to protest the Italian prime minister’s Dowd “sexist” and “offensive” manner toward women. One of the things the petitioners objected to, according to The Times of London, was Berlusconi’s attempt to put up actresses and showgirls as candidates in the European elections (not to mention as allegedly remunerated ornaments for wild parties at his posh villas).

His wife, Veronica Lario, a former actress who now is divorcing him, operatically has upbraided him twice: once two years ago after he had a public flirtation with a TV starlet whom he later appointed as minister of equal opportunities; and again last month, when Lario charged her randy hubby with “consorting with minors” after he went to the 18th birthday party of a model and gave her a diamond and gold necklace. Naturally, Berlusconi, who likes to be called “Papi” by his flock of chicks, upped the antics. The paparazzi splashed photos of topless babes — or “L’harem di Berlusconi,” as they’re known — and a buck naked ex-Czech prime minister romping at Berlusconi’s villa in Sardinia. And a comely 23-year-old starlet named Barbara Montereale told La Repubblica this week that she got paid by a hospital equipment vendor for going to the villa in January — an incident now under police investigation.

She claimed she went with another girl, an “escort” named Patrizia D’Addario, who told her that she had had sex with the 72-year-old prime minister and asked for a favor about a building project but never got it. Now a disillusioned D’Addario has released a secret recording she made in which Berlusconi’s voice is heard saying: “Go and wait for me in the big bed.” The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday night that Berlusconi, in an interview with the Italian society magazine Chi, which is owned by his holding company, denied that he had ever paid a woman to spend the night with him. “I’ve never understood what would be the satisfaction if there isn’t the pleasure of conquest,” he said, adding that he had “no memory” of D’Addario. Given Berlusconi’s louche ways, L’Aquila is a safe place for President Barack Obama to indulge his lingering See Dowd, page 9

Obama to Iran: Let them eat ice cream Ann Coulter

UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

On Iran, President Barack Obama is worse than Hamlet. He’s Colin Powell, waiting to see who wins before picking a side. Last week, massive protests roiled Iran in response to an apparently fraudulent presidential election, in which nutcase Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared the winner within two hours of the polls closing. (ACORN must be Coulter involved.) Obama responded by boldly declaring that the difference between the loon Ahmadinejad and his reformist challenger, Mir Hossein Mousavi, “may not be as great as advertised.” Maybe the thousands of dissent-

MALLARD FILLMORE

ers risking their lives protesting on the streets of Tehran are doing so because they liked Mousavi’s answer to the “boxers or briefs” question better than Ahmadinejad’s. Then, in a manly rebuke to the cheating mullahs, Obama said: “You’ve seen in Iran some initial reaction from the supreme leader” — peace be upon him — “that indicates he understands the Iranian people have deep concerns about the election.” Did FDR give speeches referring to Adolf Hilter as “Herr Fuhrer”? What’s with Obama? Even the French condemned the Iranian government’s “brutal” reaction to the protesters — and the French have tanks with one speed in forward and five speeds in reverse. You might be a scaredy-cat if ... the president of France is talking tougher than you are. More than a week ago, French president

Nicolas Sarkozy said: “The ruling power claims to have won the elections ... if that were true, we must ask why they find it necessary to imprison their opponents and repress them with such violence.” But liberals rushed to assure us that Obama’s weak-kneed response to the Iranian uprising and the consequent brutal crackdown was a brilliant foreign policy move. (They also proclaimed his admission that he still smokes “lionhearted” and “statesmanlike.”) As our own Supreme Leader B. Hussein Obama (peace be upon him) explained, “It’s not productive given the history of U.S.-Iranian relations to be seen as meddling.” You see, if the president of the United States condemned election fraud in Iran, much less put in a kind word for the presidential candidate who is not crazy, it somehow would crush the spirit of the See Coulter, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

Obama ‘constantly’ struggles with his vice

Murder must be above Obama’s ‘pay grade’ protesters when they discovered, to their horror, that the Great Satan was on their side. (It also wouldn’t do much for Al Franken in Minnesota.) Liberals hate America, so they assume everyone else does, too. So when a beautiful Iranian woman, Neda Agha Soltan, was shot dead in the streets of Iran during a protest Saturday and a video of her death ricocheted across the World Wide Web, Obama valiantly responded by ... going out for an ice cream cone. (Masterful!) Commenting about a woman’s cold-blooded murder in the streets of Tehran, like the murder of babies, is evidently above Obama’s “pay grade.” If it were true that a U.S. president should stay neutral between freedom-loving Iranian students and their oppressors, then why is Obama speaking in support of the protesters now? Are liberals no longer worried about the parade of horribles they claimed would ensue if the U.S. president condemned the mullahs? Obama’s tough talk this week proves that his gentle words last week about Ahmadinejad and Iran’s “supreme leader” (peace

��

be upon him) constituted, at best, spinelessness and, at worst, an endorsement of the fraud. Moreover, if the better part of valor is for America to stand neutral between freedom and Islamic oppression, why are liberals trying to credit Obama’s ridiculous Cairo speech for emboldening the Iranian protesters? The only reason that bald contradiction doesn’t smack you in the face is that it is utterly preposterous that Obama’s Cairo speech accomplished anything — anything worthwhile, that is. Not even the people who say that believe it. The only reaction to Obama’s Cairo speech in the Middle East is that the mullahs probably sighed in relief upon discovering that the U.S. president is a coward and an imbecile. Two weeks ago, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman was exulting about the “free and fair” national election in Lebanon, in which the voters threw out Hezbollah and voted in the “U.S.-supported coalition.” (Apparently support from America is not deemed the vote-killer in Lebanon that it allegedly is in Iran.) To justify his Times-expensed airfare to Beirut, Friedman

added some local color, noting that “more than one Lebanese whispered to me: Without George Bush standing up to the Syrians in 2005 ... this free election would not have happened.” That’s what Lebanese voters said. But Friedman also placed a phone call to a guy at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace — which he didn’t have to go to Lebanon for — to get a quote supporting the ludicrous proposition that Obama’s Cairo speech was responsible for the favorable election results in Lebanon. “And then here came this man (Obama),” Mr. Carnegie Fund said, “who came to them with respect, speaking these deep values about their identity and dignity and economic progress and education, and this person indicated that this little prison that people are living in here was not the whole world. That change was possible.” I think the fact that their Muslim brethren now are living in freedom in a democratic Iraq might have made the point that “change was possible” and “this little prison” is “not the whole world” somewhat more forcefully than a speech apologizing for Westerners who dislike the hijab.

to events. That doesn’t mean he’s not responding or that he’s not tough, he says; it just means he’s not doing it on the timetable or at the decibel levels that some would prefer. Like the Bushes, he will point out, as he did at the news conference, he is the president and his critics are not. He also got prickly with NBC News’ Chuck Todd when Todd said the president had “hinted” that there would be consequences for a repressive Iran. “Well, I’m not hinting,” Obama said. “I think that when a young woman gets shot on the street when she gets out of her car, that’s a problem.” When Todd asked why he wouldn’t spell out the consequences, the president shot back, “I know everybody here is on a 24-hour news cycle. I’m not. OK?”

smoking habit. It’s interesting that someone with such daunting discipline can’t apply his willpower to cigarettes. The day after he signed a historic tobacco bill, the president conceded at a White House news conference that he “constantly” struggles with his vice and falls off the wagon sometimes. He got testy with the McClatchy reporter who asked him about his bill and his habit, pointing out that the legislation was meant to stop “the next generation of kids coming up” from smoking. Then he got even snippier with Major Garrett, of Fox News, who referred to the president’s strong opening statement on Iran, noting: “You said about

Iran that you were ‘appalled’ and ‘outraged.’ What took you so long to employ those words?” The president protested that he had been consistent in trying not to let the White House and CIA become foils that the Iranian government could blame. When CBS News’ Chip Reed followed up, asking Obama if he was “influenced at all by John McCain and Lindsey Graham accusing you of being timid and weak,” the president grinned dismissively. But Obama regularly has to be cajoled by supporters and critics into using bolder rhetoric. It happened in his battle against Hillary during the campaign and with the AIG bonuses and now Iran. Privately, he gets irritated at those who make him out to be a wimp just because he tends not to react dramatically or visibly

Half-day kindergarten cut Moffat County School District eliminates parental option CRAIG

The Moffat County School Board approved, 4-1, a motion to offer only full-day kindergarten for the 2009-10 school year in a meeting Thursday night. Officials said offering a separate curriculum was unjustifiable because of low interest in the program. “Our intent was to offer halfday kindergarten, but requests were so low,” superintendent Pete Bergmann said. “We just aren’t in a position fiscally to go on with it.” Two months ago, the School Board accepted all-day kindergarten but wanted to offer parents the choice of a half-day when registering their children for school. As the requests unfolded, out of the 195 registered children, only nine registration forms requested half-day programs. “We anticipated higher interest in half-day,” Bergmann said. “And I would have to recommend to not offer it next year.” Bergmann said some supporters of half-day kindergarten were

disappointed but understood the Bergmann said he discussed necessity of the decision. with a few parents the option of Other parents still argued for allowing some children to attend the right of a parent to choose kindergarten only half the time. what kind of early childhood No separate curriculum would education is best for be offered, however, their children. and Bergmann said “Our intent was to Sarah Peterson, it would be the paroffer half-day ents’ responsibility of Craig, attended kindergarten, but to catch their chilthe meeting to share dren up on what her opinion with the requests were so they missed in the board. low.

Base coats were applied in the fall at the schools, but cold weather delayed completion of the project. Reid said the cold weather prevented the glue from bonding the rubber surface with the cement foundation below it. Because of that, the company subcontracted by Littleton-based Children’s Playstructures & Recreation to

apply the surface wouldn’t provide a warranty for it, he said. After the finish coats are applied, Reid said they must cure for several days before children can return to the playgrounds. He said some climbing features and swing sets that couldn’t be constructed until after the surface was completed would be added at Strawberry Park. Reid couldn’t say when the schools would re-open the playgrounds, “but it’s close,” he said. Julie Taulman, co-organizer of Let’s All Play, the group that organized the projects and raised nearly $1 million for their construction, said she’s glad to see

the projects finally come to an end nearly two years after initial planning began. Taulman said they were lucky to get the projects funded and built before the economy headed south. The Let’s All Play group will hold a grand opening ceremony after the new school year starts in August to honor everyone who made the projects possible. She said it was a testament to the community that everyone came out to help. “That was in the spirit of the way Steamboat does things,” she said. “It was great to be a part of.”

health care cuts.” According to that information, 94 percent of Steamboat Springs retail workers voted to send back the contract for more negotiations. Wages, pensions and health care have proved to be sticking points, Chapin said. “Right now, they are only offering wage increases for people at the very top level,” she said. Staaf said Safeway has

offered pay increases across the board. Chapin and Staaf said their groups wanted to continue discussions and avoid a strike. “Nobody wins in a strike, not the employees, not the customers,” Staaf said. “What we need to do is continue to negotiate and look at these tough issues.” — To reach Blythe Terrell, call 871-4234 or e-mail bterrell@steamboatpilot.com

Scholarships available 1.5 million acres affected memorates the Routt County Bark Beetle Information Task Force’s 10th anniversary. The group has worked to provide beetle education and information to the community following the Routt Divide Blowdown. Since the Routt Divide Blowdown in 1997, more than 700,000 seedlings have been planted in Routt National Forest, some of which are now 5 feet tall. A few thousand seedlings were burned during the Mount Zirkel forest fires in 2002, so seedlings were replanted in those areas. The seedlings are grown at the Forest Service’s Bessie Nursery in Nebraska, using seeds from pine cones collected on the Routt National Forest. More than 1.5 million acres of forest in northern Colorado and southern Wyoming have been affected by the mountain pine beetle epidemic, which was triggered by an extended drought in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

��

By about 2012, beetles will have killed nearly all of the mature lodgepole trees in northern Colorado and southern Wyoming. However, there are healthy populations of young vigorous trees among the dead ones. These young trees, along with those planted by the Forest Service, represent the next forest. Task Force members include representatives of the city of Steamboat Springs, Routt County Extension Service, Community Agriculture Alliance, Routt County, Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp., Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association, Colorado State Forest Service, Routt National Forest, Steamboat Lake State Park, Northwest Colorado Emergency Management, and Environmental Solutions.

The Obama administration says it wants to revamp the way college loans are made available to families. That could mean CollegeInvest, the state’s largest provider of student loans, would no longer make such loans. The Obama administration has said the current loan system provides too much money in subsidies to commercial

lenders. It wants to direct more of the money to families borrowing for college.

Gov. Bill Ritter is asking state agencies to come up with ways to cut spending by 10 percent to close a $384 million budget shortfall. Ritter said Thursday he wants officials to focus on eliminating the least efficient and least effective programs, and he said that could mean laying off some state workers. Workers already must take four furlough days in the coming year, and Ritter said they may be asked to take more to balance the budget.

To close that gap, Sen. Moe Keller, D-Wheat Ridge, the chairwoman of the Legislature’s Joint Budget Committee, said the state can use about $45 million in stimulus funds given to Colorado to help balance its budget and take about $77 million out of the state’s reserve fund. The rest, however, will have to come from cuts, she said. The cuts could include closing driver’s license bureaus, raising entrance fees for state parks and freezing tax breaks for conservation land, she said. She said raising college tuition rates also is a possibility. “We don’t have fat,” she said, adding that the results of the cuts will be felt by Coloradans. “They’ll notice, believe me.”

With so little time left, Ritter plans to use money set aside for next year’s budget to balance this year’s budget, a contingency plan backed by lawmakers before they adjourned in May. But the plan pushes this year’s shortfall into the new year for a total budget gap of $384 million.

Official says public should know about wrongly imprisoned person P. Solomon Banda THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

Lawyers for a man who filed suit against prosecutors and law enforcement after his murder conviction was overturned by DNA evidence can begin taking testimony and gathering evidence after a judge denied a request to delay the case. U.S. District Judge Lewis T. Babcock said Thursday the claims by Tim Masters “directly implicate our judicial system,” and the public has a right to hear how the courts handled his case. Masters was released from prison in January 2008, nearly 10 years after being arrested and later convicted in the 1987 slaying and sexual mutilation of Peggy Hettrick in Fort Collins, 50 miles north of Denver. Masters was released after DNA testing failed to place him at the

scene and the discovery of evidence that had been withheld from defense attorneys during his trial. “This whole thing has ruined Tim Masters’ life,” attorney David Lane told Babcock. All defendants have denied wrongdoing and claim immunity because they were acting in their official capacity. Since his release, Masters has been bidding on abandoned storage sheds and selling the contents on eBay, said David Wymore, another attorney for Masters. As a teen, Masters aspired to be a horror fiction writer. Masters’ lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages. Colorado is one of 23 states that have no law mandating compensation for those who are wrongly imprisoned, according to the New York-based Innocence Project.

Tree owners may reap benefit �� Companies, farms could earn billions of dollars from climate bill THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

For years, landowners have gotten paid for not farming. Now they may get paid for not cutting down trees. Although U.S. families could see their annual energy bills increase hundreds of dollars under a massive climate bill that President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats are trying to push through the House, owners of large swaths of forestland — timber companies, large farms, even foreign countries — could reap billions of dollars. The bill is aimed at curbing the gases, largely carbon dioxide from power plants and vehicles, blamed for global warming. But it would allow polluters to buy credits from owners of forestland as an alternative to switching to fuels other than coal and gas or installing expensive equipment to capture the greenhouse gases. The land owners would get the credits because trees suck up greenhouse gases, preventing them from reaching the atmosphere and acting like a blanket to warm the Earth.

��

Climate bill: Obama, Democrats pressing hard WASHINGTON

President Barack Obama pushed urgently Thursday for passage of legislation to confront global warming, billing it as a job-creating machine rather than the costly “job killer” Republicans denounced and telephoning wavering Democrats on the eve of what could be a historic House vote. Speaking in the Rose Garden at the White House, Obama said Washington must not miss the opportunity to work on cleaning the air, creating new “green” energy jobs and moving the nation away from its reliance on fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas. The White House appeared concerned that momentum for the bill was slipping, though White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said that when it came time for a House showdown, “I’d bet on the president.” Democratic leaders scurried to line up enough votes to get the bill passed. They enlisted former Vice President Al Gore, the country’s most prominent voice on the urgency of addressing climate

The premise is that, at some point, the sources of greenhouse gases will find it cheaper to switch to other fuels or install pollution controls than to keep paying for the credits. “In effect, the public is going

change, to make phone calls to wary lawmakers — including some who think the House bill was too weak rather than too strong. House Republicans for weeks have maintained a drumbeat against the legislation, calling it a massive energy tax on every American and a “job killer” because it will force higher prices on electricity, gasoline and other energy sources as the economy shifts from cheaper fossil fuels, or as companies and utilities are forced to buy pollution allowances. Obama as well as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., sought to counter that argument. “This is going to be a close vote because of misinformation out three that there’s somehow a contradiction between clean energy and economic growth,” said Obama. Rather than emphasizing any impact on pollution or global warming, he called the House legislation “a jobs bill” that will lead to the creation of new industries and “finally make clean energy a profitable kind of energy.” —The Associated Press

Court says strip search illegal Senators claim $1T Officials rule Arizona teenager’s rights violated during drug hunt health bill in reach WASHINGTON

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that school officials violated an Arizona teenager’s rights by strip-searching her for prescription-strength ibupro-

can’t do exactly what was done in Safford. But what if there is any change of material fact in the circumstances?” Redding was 13 when the educators in rural eastern Arizona conducted the search in 2003. They were looking for pills — the equivalent of two Advils. The district bans prescription and over-the-counter drugs without advance permission, and the school was acting on a tip from another student. The search of Redding’s backpack and outer clothes was permissible, the court said. But the justices said that officials went too far when they asked to search her underwear. A 1985 Supreme Court decision that dealt with searching a student’s purse had found that school officials need only reasonable suspicions, not probable cause. But that ruling also warned against a search that was “excessively intrusive.”

WASHINGTON

Senators working to give President Barack Obama a comprehensive health care overhaul said Thursday they had figured out how to pare back the complex legislation to keep costs from crashing through a $1 trillion, 10year ceiling. The announcement from Finance Committee Obama Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., and other lawmakers amounted to a small, parting gift to Obama on his top domestic priority as Congress prepares to leave town for its weeklong July 4 recess. It moved Congress a bit closer to a deal on legislation to lower costs and provide coverage to

nearly 50 million Americans who lack it. It also capped two weeks of tough going for health care negotiations on Capitol Hill as price tags as high as $1.6 trillion during 10 years sent senators back to the drawing board and forced deadlines to be repeatedly reset. “We have options that would enable us to write a $1 trillion bill, fully paid for,” Baucus said at a news conference. Baucus declined to detail how the costs were being cut, but options included difficult sacrifices like potentially delaying an expansion of Medicaid, the federal-state program for the poor. Others have said the changes made in recent days would lower the cost of government subsidies for those who cannot afford insurance, as well as pare back a planned 10-year series of rate increases for doctors serving Medicare patients.

fen, declaring that U.S. educators cannot force children to remove their clothing unless student safety is at risk. In an 8-1 ruling, the justices said that Safford Middle School officials violated the Fourth Amendment ban on unreasonable searches with their treatment of Savana Redding. The court ruled that the officials could not be held financially liable but left it to lower courts to decide if the school district could. Although children’s advocates and civil liberties groups cheered the decision, others suggested the high court may have created further problems for school systems by failing to make clear exactly when school administrators can strip search students and when they can’t. “The court seems to think it made things clearer, but I don’t think they did,” said Dan Capra, a Fordham University law professor. “Officials now know they

BAF Wax Regatta emphasizes homemade boats, respect Margaret Hair

Jason Buys, front, and Steven Spalty plan to take their homemade craft down the Yampa River during the fourth annual BAF Wax Raft Regatta on Saturday. Registration for the float starts at 11 a.m. at the Walton Pond river access.

Bridge intact, with all its passengers on board. The Raft Regatta started four years ago as a way for Anderson to keep his snowboard wax company’s name on people’s minds in the off-season and as a celebration for the end of mud season. “The first one I had around 25 to 30 people, basically just my close friends. The second year, I had 90 to 100 people show up. And last year, I had around 225 people sign up for it,” Anderson said.

Trying to keep it clean As the event has grown, so has the potential for rogue floaters. On Saturday, between 8 and 10 people will be assigned to C-Hole and D-Hole to collect litter, and a few kayakers will be on hand as a safety measure, said BAF promotions manager Sean Hengstler. Hengstler floated in a combination of backyard swimming

Jason Buys had been eyeing the horse trough beer-cooler outside Rex’s American Grill & Bar. He wondered — given proper buoying — if the thing would float, and if he could ride it down the Yampa River to put himself in the running for most creative craft at the 2008 BAF Wax Raft Regatta. “We took that and spraypainted it with different colors, and we took four empty kegs and we strapped them on either side of it,” Buys said. He and friend Steven Spalty tested the sea-worthiness of the boat in Walton Creek and on the Yampa before entering it in the BAF race. “We went through C-Hole, D-Hole, no problems. It’s like a battleship — it’ll go straight through anything,” Buys said. Some swim noodles from Wal-Mart, a flagpole with a pirate-themed banner, silicon sealing and a few yoga mats finished up the craft for Saturday’s fourth annual Raft Regatta. Registration for the event starts at about 11 a.m. Saturday at the Walton Pond access to the Yampa River, and floaters will set off down the river at about 1 p.m., said event organizer and BAF Wax owner Matt Anderson. Floaters are required to sign a waiver before they get in the river. Anderson and a panel of judges will give away prizes for most creative homemade boat, biggest raft, and the first raft to make it under the 13th Street

pools and queen-size mattresses during the first two years of the Raft Regatta. This time around, he’ll be stationed in D-Hole, trying to make sure nothing gets dropped into the river, he said. “We just want to keep everybody clean and neat on the river,” Hengstler said. Recommendations in the Yampa River Management Plan — adopted by the Steamboat Springs City Council in 2004 — discourage tubing above Fetcher Park and encourage tubers to float downstream from the bridge above Fifth Street; Walton Pond is above Fetcher Park. Management Plan regulations prohibit glass, littering, Styrofoam coolers, dogs, nudity, alcohol, standing in the riverbed and ask floating river users to respect others. Inflatable crafts are subject to Colorado boating under the influence laws. Hengstler said representatives of BAF Wax have been in touch with the Steamboat Springs Police Department and the Colorado Division of Wildlife; event organizers hope to keep the event under control so it can keep happening, he said. “We can’t afford to have it go bad and ruin a good thing,” Hengstler said. — To reach Margaret Hair, call 871-4204 or e-mail mhair@steamboatpilot.com.

Rock with a spirit

Rusted Root taps into a natural vibe for new record, free concert For almost 20 years, Rusted Root has relied on its fans to develop the records it makes, testing songs on the road to see when people will laugh, cry or dance. That formula came in handy recently, when Michael Glabicki and the band he Listen to songs by Rusted Root leads put out online. their first studio record since www.Explore 2002; “Stereo Steamboat.com Rodeo” came out this spring. The record draws on audience reactions along with Glabicki and his band’s personal tastes to pump out a dance-rock single, a cover of Elvis Presley’s “Suspicious Minds” and songs with the jammed-out, world groove feel that’s defined Rusted Root since the group made its debut in 1990. A good chunk of that album likely will be on the set list for Rusted Root’s appearance Saturday as the opener for the 2009 Steamboat Springs Free Summer Concert Series, Glabicki said in a phone interview Wednesday. Ski jumpers will soar near the Howelsen Hill concert venue starting at 5:30 p.m., with local acoustic reggae act and 2009 Teen Battle of the Bands winner Knock on Wood playing an opening set at 6 p.m. Rusted Root is expected to go on at about 7 p.m. Admission to the family-friendly show is free; food and drinks, including beer, will be for sale. Concert attendees are not allowed to bring outside alcohol to the event.

STEAMBOAT PILOT & TODAY: Tell me a little about your new material. MICHAEL GLABICKI: A lot of the material came from some solo work I was doing, and I had developed a lot of that on solo tours. … I thought I could bring this material to Rusted Root and that would be really exciting, because Rusted Root has always sort of been really aggressive and kind of on the upper tier of the dynamics, so I thought if I brought in this

SP&T: What do you mean by that, ‘hits you from every angle?’ MG: I think maybe when we started out there was only sort of a spiritual vibe or a ritualistic vibe to it. Now there’s more personality brought into it, there’s more instrumentation

brought into it, there’s more unique arrangement brought into it. SP&T: Explain the spiritual vibe. MG: I think starting out, I as a songwriter sort of rejected anything that sounded like anybody else. I did that in order to find something that was completely real, and sort of — well, I guess unique. So what I would do … (I would) almost meditate through the music. I would go into a room and stay there for weeks and wait until something came up. I always perceived

it as coming up through the ground and through my body in something that I felt was truly me, or could be truly Rusted Root. I think in doing that and in taking those ideas and those songs with the band — and doing the same thing with the band and working it until something truly unique showed up through each person — I think we created this natural, spiritual connection through each other, and I think that translated to the audience. — To reach Margaret Hair, call 871-4204 or e-mail mhair@steamboatpilot.com.

Michael Jackson dies at age 50

��

Circumstances surrounding entertainer’s death still unclear Lynn Elber

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES

��

Michael Jackson, the sensationally gifted child star who rose to become the “King of Pop” and the biggest celebrity in the world only to fall from his throne in a freakish series of scandals, died Thursday. He was 50. Jackson died at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. Ed WinJackson ter, the assistant chief coroner for Los Angeles County, confirmed his office had been notified of the death and would handle the investigation. The circumstances of Jackson’s death were not immediately clear. Jackson was not breathing when Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to a call at his Los Angeles home, Capt. Steve Ru-

da told the Los Angeles Times. The paramedics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda told the newspaper. Jackson’s death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s when he was popular music’s premier all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV, dominated the charts and dazzled even more on stage. His 1982 album “Thriller” — which included the blockbuster hits “Beat It,” “Billie Jean” and “Thriller” — remains the biggest-selling album of all time, with more than 100 million copies worldwide. The public first knew him in the late 1960s, when as a boy he was the precocious, spinning lead singer of the Jackson 5, the music group he formed with his four older brothers. Among their No. 1 hits were “I Want You Back,” “ABC,” and “I’ll Be There.”

He perhaps was the most exciting performer of his generation, known for his feverish, crotch-grabbing dance moves and his high-pitched voice punctuated with squeals and titters. His single sequined glove, tight, military-style jacket and aviator sunglasses were trademarks second only to his ever-changing, surgically altered appearance. “For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don’t have the words,” said Quincy Jones, who produced “Thriller.” “He was the consummate entertainer and his contributions and legacy will be felt upon the world forever. I’ve lost my little brother today, and part of my soul has gone with him.” Jackson ranked alongside Elvis Presley and the Beatles as the biggest pop sensations of all time. In fact, he united two of music’s biggest names when he was briefly married to Presley’s daughter, Lisa Marie.

‘Charlie’s Angels’ star used status to document struggle, inspire Lynn Elber

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES

A winsome smile, tousled hair and unfettered sensuality were Farrah Fawcett’s trademarks as a sex symbol and 1970s TV star in “Charlie’s Angels.” But as her life drew to a close, she captivated the public in a far different way: as a cancer patient who fought for, then surrendered, her treasured privacy to document her struggle with the disease and inspire others. Fawcett, 62, died Thursday morning at St. John’s Health

Center in Santa Monica, nearly three years after being diagnosed with anal cancer. Ryan O’Neal, the longtime companion who Fawcett returned to her side when she became ill, was with her. “After a long and brave battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away,” O’Neal said. “Although this is an extremely difficult time for her family and friends, we take comfort in the beautiful times

that we shared with Farrah over the years and the knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the world.” In the end, Fawcett sought to offer more than that, re-emerging in the spotlight with a new gravitas. In “Farrah’s Story,” which aired last month, she made public her painful treatments and dispiriting setbacks — from shaving her golden locks before chemotherapy could claim them to undergoing experimental treatments in Germany.

Iran rival leader says he won’t give up conflict

William J. Kole

Iran’s embattled opposition leader vowed Thursday that he wouldn’t back down from challenging what he called a rigged presidential election despite the regime’s increasing attempts to isolate him, telling the hard-liners: “I won’t leave the picture.” Incumbent President Mahmoud Mousavi Ahmadinejad, proclaimed the landslide winner of the balloting, accused President Barack Obama of meddling in Iran’s affairs. “Correct yourself,” he told the U.S. leader, urging him to “show your repentance.” On his Web site, opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi leveled unusually strong criticism at the Islamic regime’s leaders, saying they were “the main factor for the recent violence and unrest and have spilled the blood of the people.” His allegation came about a week after supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned the opposition to end street protests or be held responsible for any “bloodshed and chaos.” Khamenei has refused to order a new vote despite the biggest demonstrations in the country since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. “I am not ready to withdraw from demanding the rights of the Iranian people,” Mousavi said, adding that he was determined to prove electoral fraud. “They are not aware that I won’t leave the picture with these accusations,” he said. Authorities arrested 70 university professors Wednesday after they met with Mousavi, and all but four were later released, his Web site said. Those still in custody included Qorban Behzadiannejad, Mousavi’s former campaign manager. Mousavi’s political adviser, Mohammad Reza Tajik, denied reports that Mousavi was under house arrest.

Stocks jump, led by homebuilders, retailers THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK

Investors rushed back into stocks as profits at a handful of companies indicated the economy might be gaining strength. Homebuilders and retailers led a broad rally Thursday. The Dow Jones industrial average surged 173 points after four days of losses. The price of government debt jumped after an auction drew strong demand.

The day began with betterthan-expected earnings reports. Lennar’s orders for new homes jumped 63 percent during the second quarter and its revenue beat expectations. And retailers jumped following a report from Bed Bath & Beyond. The home furnishings store said its fiscal firstquarter earnings climbed 14 percent as sales increased after the liquidation of rival Linens N Things. Stocks extended their gains

after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke fended off accusations before a House committee that he pressed Bank of America to acquire Merrill Lynch in a deal that cost taxpayers $20 billion. Analysts said his handling of the questions made it less likely he would resign before his term expires early next year. The third successful Treasury auction of the week helped boost confidence that Washington will be able to raise enough money to

fund its economic recovery programs. Investors also applauded the Fed’s announcement that it would let expire some of the emergency lending programs it set up last fall as the financial crisis intensified. The upbeat news helped traders look past unexpected increases in claims for unemployment benefits. Traders had been expecting a drop. Investors have been dissecting economic and corporate data for signs of whether the economy is starting

to recover or whether a stock market rally that began in March was premature.

To u r n a m e n t favorite Williams Williams has been hampered by knee trouble in the past, but there was no indication of a problem this week until she walked onto sunny Court 1 bandaged from mid-calf to mid-thigh. Williams let out a yelp when she appeared to pull up on a backhand in the third game, perhaps because of the knee. Otherwise she moved across the grass freely, charging forward to pounce on short balls. She won 17 points at the net to two for Bondarenko.

Colleen King and Kacey Bull have played volleyball together for the past five years. But save for future alumni get-togethers and open-gym sessions, the two are preparing to play competitively for the last time together. King, a rising Steamboat Springs High School senior, and Bull, who will play club volleyball for Colorado State

University in the fall, will be part of the NORCO 18s Black club volleyball team that will travel to Miami for the Junior Olympics, from Wednesday to July 4. The two were first-team Western Slope League selections in the fall. They’ve been playing with the Fort Collinsbased club team for the past couple of months. King also played for the local club volleyball team NORCO West. It’s been a strenuous schedule for the two, as each made

the trip twice a week to Fort Collins for practice and spent most weekends at tournaments across the region. The team qualified for Junior Olympics by placing second at a regional event in early May in Denver. “We played at a national qualifying event in Denver where we faced a lot of really good teams,” said Bull, who has been playing as a defensive specialist in the back row. “But this will be the most concentrated group of teams. Everyone will

be good.” The team will leave for Miami on Tuesday. The four-day tournament is broken down into pool play each day, then bracketed formats. A champion will be decided on the final day of play. “I don’t really know what the competition looks like, but everyone’s goal going into this tournament is to do well,” said King, who has been playing as See Volleyball, page 36

four years, joining up to compete in a few tournaments each summer. They played last weekend at a tournament in Denver, falling three times, twice in close, back-and-forth games. The group also has competed in Triple Crown tournaments in Steamboat in recent years. It won a tournament when the players were 9, and hopes to

find a way to succeed at home again this year. “This is a good group of core kids,” Jeep said. “We want to keep them to together for a while. We competed well last week, and we hope to play well again (this weekend).”

Armstrong in back of lineup 7-time Tour de France winner to be support rider Jamey Keaten

PARIS

Seven-time champion Lance Armstrong will return to the Tour de France in the unfamiliar role of support rider after his Astana team chose 2007 winner Alberto Contador as its leader for the race. Although the American will be given a secondary role at the July 4 start, Tour and Armstrong fans know that anything could

happen during the three-week race that starts in Monaco. Contador “has worked very hard, earning the right to represent our Armstrong team as the leader this July,” team manager Johan Bruyneel said Thursday on Astana’s Web site. The 27-year-old Spaniard has five stage victories this year, and he won the Tour of Algarve in February. Bruyneel, who coached Armstrong en route to all of his Tour victories, noted he was “very happy” with the Texan’s form in his comeback season after three years of retirement. “I know he is extremely motivated for the Tour de France,” he said. Support riders, also known as “domestiques” in cycling parlance, can have roles such as shielding the team leader from the winds in the flats, escorting him up mountain climbs or even fetching water bottles from team cars trailing the racers. The goal is for the team to take home the yellow jersey of the Tour de France leader. Armstrong was known for

often-clinical use of his teammates during his record reign as Tour champion from 1999 to 2005. On his Twitter page Thursday, Armstrong wrote “This is not 2004 or 2005. I’m not the leader of the team.” He also had a link to the Astana Web site for his 1 million-plus followers on the social networking site. Bruyneel’s selections have been widely awaited by many cycling fans because they suggest who he thinks Astana should build its team around for the Tour. He also coached Contador to his Tour win. Astana, as with previous Armstrong teams, is exceptionally strong this year. It will include past Tour podium finishers Andreas Kloeden, of Germany, and American Levi Leipheimer. The team already had announced a list of six Tour riders, including Ukrainian Yaroslav Popovych, the 2005 Tour’s best young rider, and veteran mountain specialist Haimar Zubeldia, of Spain. The three additions Thursday were Dmitriy Muravyev, the only Kazakh rider on the squad and a Tour newcomer; Sergio Paulinho, of Portugal — a strong Contador ally; and Gregory Rast, of Switzerland.

Roddick beats Kunitsyn Wimbledon continued from 35 needed some support, and then I went and got the support, and then I wore it in the match. I’ll be wearing it in doubles, too. So it’s working out. I mean, I think all the players might start wearing it because it’s so supportive.” Her mother and coach, Oracene Price, declined to discuss the matter. Williams wore the strap again later when she and sister Serena beat Virginie Razzano and Aravane Rezai in doubles, 6-3, 6-3. In men’s play, two-time runner-up Andy Roddick lost

serve only once and defeated Igor Kunitsyn 6-4, 6-2, 3-6, 6-2. “It was comfortable most of the time,” Roddick said. “I played my best set by far in the fourth set.” He’ll next play No. 26 Jurgen Melzer, the Wimbledon boys champion in 1999. Lleyton Hewitt, who won Wimbledon in 2002, upset No. 5-seeded Juan Martin del Potro, 6-3, 7-5, 7-5. Hewitt broke an 11-match losing streak against top-five players. “I love playing in England,” the Australian said. “It feels like a second home, really.”

Team won in Omaha, Neb. Volleyball continued from 35 an outside hitter. “We’ve put in a lot of time and a lot of our summer.” When King was in her basketball season, Bull and the rest of the team went to a highly competitive national tournament in Omaha, Neb. There, the team won, proving it’s one of the best club teams

in the nation. In Miami, the top 5 percent of club teams are expected to be represented. Since neither King nor Bull knew what the competition would be like, the two said they are going into the tournament more to have fun. “The competition is going to be really hard,” King said. “But if we bring it, we’ll be able to do well.”

Cavs acquire Shaq from Suns Tom Withers

��

NBA

One is the King, a reigning MVP who at age 24 needs only a championship to complete his resume. The other is a largerthan-life personality who may be past the prime of his career but remains an undeniable force and hungers for a fifth NBA title. LeBron and Shaq. Teammates. The Cleveland Cavaliers executed a monster trade Thursday to unite the superstars, acquiring Shaquille O’Neal from the Phoenix Suns in hopes he can help LeBron James deliver this seemingly sports-cursed city its first major pro championship in 45 years. The deal creates a tandem that instantly rivals any in sports today and calls to mind some of the great duos in NBA history: Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bob Cousy and Bill Russell, Shaq himself and Kobe Bryant. More important, if Cleveland’s gamble works and the 37year-old O’Neal delivers a title,

it could keep James around. James is an Akron native, knows Cleveland’s pained sports history and always has maintained he wants to stay in his home state, though there is no guarantee he will sign an extension with the Cavs. Cleveland can offer him one as early as this summer. But that’s for another day. Hours before an NBA draft that figured to be overshadowed by the Shaq-to-the-Cavs move, the reality of James playing with O’Neal, a 15-time All-Star, was just sinking in. “Shaq is an incredible ballplayer and a four-time NBA champion,” James said in a statement. “I have a lot of respect for him and his game. It will be a real honor to play with Shaq as my teammates, and I look forward to another great season with the Cavs.” The Cavs sent center Ben Wallace and swingman Sasha Pavlovic to the Suns, along with a second-round pick in the 2010 draft and $500,000 in cash, for O’Neal, the 7-foot-1 center who won three straight titles from 2000 to 2002 with Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers. His

James

fourth title came with Dwyane Wade in Miami in 2006. “I was elated about the trade because I get to play with one of the greatest players to ever play the game in LeBron James,” O’Neal said during ESPN’s draft telecast. He expects “a lot of fun, a lot of just having a good time and a lot of smiling, and a lot of winning.” The teams first talked about a deal in February but couldn’t work out an agreement before the deadline, a missed opportunity that cost the Cavs in this year’s playoffs when they had no answer inside for Orlando center Dwight Howard in the Eastern Conference finals. After the Cavaliers were eliminated with a Game 6 loss, a frustrated James stormed off the floor in Orlando without shaking the hands of any Magic players, including Howard, his U.S. Olympic teammate.

Blake Griffin was the consensus No. 1 pick. Shaq to the Cavs was the consensus blockbuster. On a day of head-turning trades around the NBA, the Los Angeles Clippers started Thursday night’s draft with the obvious choice: Griffin, the only player considered a sure thing in a class full of question marks. Griffin was the consensus college player of the year after leading the nation with 14.4 rebounds per game while averaging 22.7 points last season for Oklahoma. The Clippers said they would take the forward

with the top pick just hours after they won the draft lottery last month, and never considered changing their minds. “The fact is we’re getting an incredible player, incredible person, an impeccable work ethic and a guy that we plan on having in L.A. for many years to come,” Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy said. “He’s going to be a great, exciting fit for our ballclub.” The draft followed a day of big trades in the NBA. The deal that sent Shaquille O’Neal to play alongside LeBron James in Cleveland was completed earlier Thursday, and

Eastern Conference champion Orlando acquired Vince Carter from the Nets in a swap completed shortly before the first pick was made. San Antonio landed Richard Jefferson, from Milwaukee, on Tuesday, and more big names could be available this summer as teams are forced to slash payroll. The best way to improve quickly this year was through trades, because the draft was considered weaker than in recent years. It lacked the star power of 2007 when Greg Oden and Kevin Durant battled it out for top pick honors or when Derrick Rose beat out Michael Beasley last year.

Those who love him will point to his willingness to return

months after being dumped by the Cowboys, and to anchor this trip around working with children. They note the scholarships given Owens out to cover the $195 camp fee and the promotion that brought a boy and his family from Buffalo, N.Y., so folks in his new place of employment don’t feel left out. The party at a 48th floor downtown ballroom is a nice touch.

Iowa town struggles to cope with slaying Coach’s death shakes community; suspect in killing remains quiet Nigel Duara THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARKERSBURG, IOWA

In the years after Mark Becker graduated from high school, friends say he drifted from the community where he played football for the town’s beloved coach. There were failed attempts at college, minor dustups with the law and trouble with drugs and alcohol. At 24, he was a cook at a Cedar Falls pizza restaurant and no longer the friendly “cute guy” from his days at Aplington-Parkersburg High. “He wasn’t the same guy,”

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL said Sara Madsen, a friend who graduated with Becker. “He was way more quieter. He just wouldn’t say much. I said to him, ‘What’s going on? We never see you anymore.”’ Madsen never got an answer, and like the rest of Parkersburg is left wondering what could have compelled Becker to allegedly unload several shots from a handgun into his former coach, Ed Thomas, during an offseason team workout Wednesday morning. Becker was arrested a short time later in his parents’ driveway and charged with first-

degree murder. So far, detectives are refusing to answer questions about Becker’s possible motive. His attorney, Susan Flander, declined to discuss the case Thursday, and none of the 20-or-so players who were in the weight room have spoken publicly about what they saw, apparently told not to speak to reporters by school officials. Becker, in isolation in Cerro Gordo County jail 40 miles away, isn’t talking either. He’s “just quiet, just stonefaced quiet,” jail administrator Shad Stoeffler said. “I think he’s still just trying to soak everything in.”

Wednesday with their 2-0 victory against Spain. The reigning European champions had set an international record with 15 straight victories and had tied Brazil’s record unbeaten streak of 35 games from December 1993 to January 1996. The U.S. men, meanwhile, had been 1-7-1 against No. 1 teams. Its only other victory against a top-ranked opponent? Brazil, at the Los Angeles Coliseum in the semifinals of the 1998 Gold Cup. “I didn’t watch the game last night because I was more concerned with the game today,” Brazil coach Dunga said. Good thing, because the South Africans gave lackluster Brazil all it could handle.
