Martinez, the U.S. Forest Service district ranger in Yampa, helped plant and provided information to participants. He said he discussed changes in the forest. Mountain pine beetles are killing lots of lodgepole pine, Martinez said, but they aren’t ruining the woods. They’re just changing it. “I was just trying to leave

Strings retunes classical programs New music directors bring innovative styles to 22nd season Margaret Hair

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

In December, Andrés Cárdenes and Monique Mead outlined an ambitious set of goals for their first season as co-music directors for Strings Music Festival. After being chosen to direct classical programming for the summer-long festival in September 2008, Cárdenes and Mead spent a few months formulating a plan to sustain interest and excitement in a festival going into its 22nd year. On tap were internationally renowned artists, shorter and more accessible Wednesday night programs, varying combinations of work on each concert, multimedia presentations and unfamiliar world instruments. “We’re doing all of it,” Cárdenes said Thursday, sitting with Mead in the green room of the year-old Strings Music Pavilion. Elmar Oliveira, a Grammynominated violinist with dozens of awards to his credit, opens the co-directors’ first season at 8 p.m. today. Oliveira joins a revamped Strings Festival

Strings Music Festival announced that Andrés Cárdenes, left, and Monique Mead will act as guest music directors in the 2009 season before deciding whether to make the title permanent. The husband and wife team are longtime friends of Strings.

Orchestra for a program that starts with a modern American piece, Christopher Theofanidis’ “Visions and Miracles,” and ends the first half with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 8. After intermission, Oliveira will perform the virtuosic Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor. The program is emblematic of the mix of styles that will be present in classical performances throughout the season,

Cárdenes and Mead said. “The way that the programming is put together … what you might typically have heard before is a Schubert with a Brahms, and there you have it. Now we’re mixing it up,” Mead said. Each concert will have a connective thread, but that thread might not immediately be obvious, directors said. See Strings, page 15

COMMENTARY

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

Not enough audacity Paul Krugman

THE NEW YORK TIMES

When it comes to domestic policy, there are two Barack Obamas. On one side, there’s Barack the Policy Wonk, whose command of the issues — and ability to explain those issues in plain English — is a joy to behold. But on the other side, there’s Barack the PostPartisan, who searches for common ground where none exists, and whose negotiations with himself Krugman lead to policies that are far too weak. Both Baracks were on display in the president’s press conference earlier this week. First, Obama offered a crystalclear explanation of the case for health care reform, and especially of the case for a public option competing with private insurers. “If private insurers say that

the marketplace provides the best quality health care, if they tell us that they’re offering a good deal,” he asked, “then why is it that the government, which they say can’t run anything, suddenly is going to drive them out of business? That’s not logical.” But when asked whether the public option was non-negotiable he waffled, declaring that there are no “lines in the sand.” That evening, Rahm Emanuel met with Democratic senatrs and told them — well, it’s not clear what he said. Initial reports had him declaring willingness to abandon the public option, but Sen. Kent Conrad’s staff later denied that. Still, the impression everyone got was of a White House all too eager to make concessions. The big question here is whether health care is about to go the way of the stimulus bill. At the beginning of this year, you may remember, Obama made an eloquent

case for a strong economic stimulus — then delivered a proposal falling well short of what independent analysts (and, I suspect, his own economists) considered necessary. The goal, presumably, was to attract bipartisan support. But in the event, Obama was able to pick up only three Senate Republicans by making a plan that already was too weak even weaker. At the time, some of us warned about what might happen: if unemployment surpassed the administration’s optimistic projections, Republicans wouldn’t accept the need for more stimulus. Instead, they’d declare the whole economic policy a failure. And that’s exactly how it’s playing out. With the unemployment rate now almost certain to pass 10 percent, there’s an overwhelming economic case for more stimulus. But as a political matter, it’s going to be harder, not easier, to get See Krugman, page 9

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

Forgive me if I find the travails of South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford tedious. I could have been spared his rambling, weird mea culpa of adultery, and the media’s inevitable rehashing of the Democrat-vs.-Republican scorecard of personal peccadilloes. Can the nation finally move on from its fascination with the sexual dalliSanchez ances of officials? Seriously, do all of these cases matter? Granted, in the Sanford case there is a question of public monies — trifling amounts, really — being abused in the affair, as well as the taint on his credibility from the ham-handed way in which his staff failed to disclose his whereabouts. It’s time to let adultery as a barom-

MALLARD FILLMORE

eter of a candidate’s fitness for office go the way of tokin’ on a doobie in youth. Like trying marijuana, cheating is so widespread, so Republican and Democrat and male and female, that ranting about impropriety often is pointless. Besides, adherence to marital fidelity does not always correlate to political principle. This is not a manifesto for open marriages. I’m not advocating that sleeping around be accepted into some sort of morally just-dandy status. But leave the sermonizing for church and the confessions for the priests. Also, politicians need to quit courting votes using the squeaky clean image of their families. Just tell me what you will do in office, deliver it, and I’ll be less inclined to care who you lie down beside at night. As Larry King quipped shortly after Sanford admitted his infidelity with an Argentine lover, the political club for those who don’t cheat could meet in a

phone booth. And that’s probably not an exaggeration. Oh, sure, the left has tried to make something of the fact that two rising stars of the GOP have taken a tumble into the cesspool of marital infidelity in one month. Hah, as if Bill Clinton was an anomaly for Democrats. As a woman, I’ve always viewed Bill Clinton with disdain. He disrespected his marriage, and his wife, repeatedly. But Hillary is a grown woman, capable of making her own bed and then watching her husband lie in it with others. The cruelest impact was on Chelsea. To her, Clinton imparted the most damaging message a father can give a daughter: that her gender can represent mere sexual playthings to men like him. But as a voter, I’m not sure his indiscretions canceled his political values. To my knowledge, Clinton never failed to repreSee Sanchez, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

VIEWPOINTS

Krugman continued from 8 that extra stimulus now than it would have been to get the plan right in the first place. The point is that if you’re making big policy changes, the final form of the policy has to be good enough to do the job. You might think that half a loaf always is better than none — but it isn’t if the failure of half-measures ends up discrediting your whole policy approach. Which brings us back to health care. It would be a crushing blow to progressive hopes if Obama doesn’t succeed in getting some form of universal care through Congress. But even so, reform isn’t worth having if you can only get it on terms so compromised that it’s doomed to fail. What will determine the success or failure of reform? Above all, the success of reform

depends on successful cost control. We really, really don’t want to get into a position a few years from now where premiums are rising rapidly, many Americans are priced out of the insurance market despite government subsidies, and the cost of health care subsidies is a growing strain on the budget. And that’s why the public plan is an important part of reform: it would help keep costs down through a combination of low overhead and bargaining power. That’s not an abstract hypothesis, it’s a conclusion based on solid experience. Currently, Medicare has much lower administrative costs than private insurance companies, while federal health care programs other than Medicare (which isn’t allowed to bargain about drug prices) pay much less for prescription drugs than non-federal buyers. There’s every reason to believe that a

public option could achieve similar savings. Indeed, the prospects for such savings are precisely what have the opponents of a public plan so terrified. Obama was right: if they really believed their own rhetoric about government waste and inefficiency, they wouldn’t be so worried that the public option would put private insurers out of business. Behind the boilerplate about big government, rationing and all that lies the real concern: fear that the public plan would succeed. So Obama and Democrats in Congress have to hang tough — no more gratuitous giveaways in the attempt to sound reasonable. And reform advocates have to keep up the pressure to stay on track. Yes, the perfect is the enemy of the good; but so is the not-good-enough-to-work. Health reform has to be done right.

Be very thankful about unreported trysts Sanchez continued from 8 sent women and their interests well. He just couldn’t be held to his marriage vows. Go figure. Similarly, Eliot Spitzer hovers next to cretin level for his dalliances with a hooker, yet he was a brilliantly effective attorney general. Back in the day, what happened in the bedroom was allowed to stay in the bedroom, often with society no worse off. John F. Kennedy may have had one hand on Marilyn Monroe’s sequined behind and another within reach of the red button. Martin Luther King Jr. led the nation to civil rights reform, but

his philandering is equally well established. As weary as we all are of sexual shenanigans revealed, the fact is that the familiar cases are merely the tip of the iceberg. Political reporters consistently sift through rumors and innuendos of who is sleeping with whom in state houses across the nation. Many a tryst is verified but ultimately deemed not newsworthy because of a lack of public malfeasance. The story is never reported. Be thankful. Be very thankful. To all the politicians with a roving eye, let me offer this advice: Go ahead and ruin your marriage, embarrass your wife

and perhaps permanently scar your children, if you must. But don’t involve innocent staffers who have to cover for you (especially if they do it badly). Don’t leave your elected duties unattended or use taxpayer money to finance romps in the sack. And by all means, don’t drag your wife in front of the cameras when you hold the press conference owning up to the mess you made. I guess in that respect Gov. Sanford represents a step forward.

Organizers plan to continue annual Oak Creek event no matter the weather STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Take an umbrella. Take a lawn chair. And take swimsuits. No matter what the weather is like during today’s Taste of South Routt event, organizer Dave Moran said it’s still going to happen, with all the fun, music and food that have become a South Routt staple. “It’s a little rainy, but that doesn’t scare us,” he said Friday as he prepared to set up the event, held today from noon to 6 p.m. at Decker Park in Oak Creek. “Come hell or high water, we’ll have a good time no matter what.” The admission for the event is $1, with children younger than 6 admitted free. Moran said that the donation also will earn attendees a chance at one of hundreds of prizes.

The town of Oak Creek is one step closer to finding a code enforcement officer after a half dozen applicants applied for the position. “They’re all good applicants and good stuff,” said Eileen Rossi, who is handling the applications. The position would be part time, probably 20 to 32 hours a week, Rossi said, and the salary is not decided. The officer would not have the power to arrest people but would be able to write tickets and enforce municipal code, something that is

commission, said the piece is supposed to be interactive on many levels. She likes to think of the sculpture group as a blues band, but said it’s open to interpretation. “Music is for everybody. I designed it as part of my ‘Bench People’ series, meaning that they can be sat on, and if anybody wanted to join the band, they could,” she said. Wiener had limestone from the Lake Huron area cut into blocks in October 2008, and started forming figures in December. She completed the sculpture earlier in the week, and drove it up on a trailer from Denver early Friday afternoon. Much of Wiener’s work has a whimsical feel, the artist said. In “Let the Music Play,” that comes across in curving lines for the two stone horn players — one holding a trumpet, the other a saxophone — and in the way the drummer is sitting. Park users can follow a line from the drummer’s arm

to the three circular seats he’s playing. Robert Dieckhoff, who was head of the Public Art Board during the Little Toots commission process, said the group chose “Let the Music Play” for its accessibility and durability. Describing the installation as “a celebration of the arts,” Dieckhoff said Wiener stood out from a crop of applications for her past work, her proposal’s compatibility with a public park, and her use of limestone — one of the few materials that can stand up over time in Little Toots, which is near Steamboat’s sulfur springs. When it commissioned the piece, the Public Art Board sought to keep tabs on area heritage through art, Dieckhoff said. A public unveiling and reception for the sculpture is tentatively scheduled for later this summer. — To reach Margaret Hair, call 871-4204 or e-mail mhair@steamboatpilot.com.

not addressed in coverage by the Routt County Sheriff’s Office. Karen Tussey, of the Yampa Town Board, sent a letter of inquiry to the Oak Creek Town Board earlier this year, bringing up the possibility of sharing the officer between the two towns. Tussey said that by creating a full-time position, it could be more attractive to potential applicants, but the two boards have not met to discuss the idea. Tussey said she does not expect the agreement to be worked out any time soon. Oak Creek has not had a full police force since Chief Russ Caterinicchio, Sgt.

Ten members of the Summit County team also helped local searchers June 14 and 15. Searching in deep, fast water

is similar to searching in an avalanche, Polumbus said, because searchers must use probes to search underwater and face a constant risk from the fast water.

Daughter: Items are going to a good home Ross continued from 2 leather camera cases, fishing rods, Blue Willow china, tackle boxes and homemade gun cabinets. There was Hank’s old Coast Guard uniform from World War II (he served in the Atlantic and the Pacific), handmade tool boxes, a large collection of coffee pots and coffee grinders, tiny leather baby shoes, a catcher’s mitt and on and on. A portion of the sheer volume of collectible furniture and glassware can be attributed to the fact that after she left the newspaper, Elaine became the proprietor of Fat Chance Antiques in a plainlooking green house at the corner of 12th Street and Lincoln Avenue. The depth of the Stroncek collection was sufficient to encourage Annie Tisch, of Annie’s Home Consignments, to conduct an estate sale that continues this weekend and resumes again during the holiday weekend, July 3 to 5. The Stroncek home sits close to the banks of Soda Creek and is possibly the cutest log house in Steamboat. It was built in 1927 by “Chief ” Harry Gordon, as everyone in Steamboat knew him. The book “Steamboat Legends” records that Gordon was not a chief of any native tribe but that he was a member of the Miami tribe and moved his family here from Oklahoma in 1921. Along with the rest of his tribe, he had profited from lead, zinc and silver mining operations. He had the wherewithal to build the Chieftain Theater and the Chieftain Ballroom (no longer standing at 345 Lincoln Ave.) in addition to the family home. The siding on the house consists of intricately cut and pieced logs, some of them very small in diameter and arranged in chevron patterns. It is listed for sale for $925,000, and the surviving

Stroncek/Worrell family is letting hundreds of possessions go. You couldn’t go wrong grabbing one of several official Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. cowboy hats originally purchased from Harwig’s Western Wear in the 1970s (Hank worked in the gondola lift department for LTV-RDI for a number of years). Hank and Elaine’s daughter, Lynn Worrell, acknowledged having mixed emotions about the estate sale. But she was also philosophical about the subject. “I know a lot of the people here; a lot of them I’ve known forever, and it’s nice knowing that things are going to a good home,” she said. “It’s been a nice morning.” Jaynie Austin-Daub was exploring the front parlor with a cardboard box under her arm. In addition to a few small items intended for a little girl, she had snagged what looked like a tiny folding canvas camp chair. “It’s a whatchamadoodle you hold thingamabobs in,” Austin-Daub said. Actually, it was a portable carrier for knitting supplies. Jeannie Gillaspie had a novel idea about how to use one of Hank’s small oil cans. She planned to keep it on a dresser and stack her collection of rings on its long, coneshaped spout. Jan Fischer had latched onto a beautifully made wooden recipe box that Elaine had acquired for her high school home economics class. It was still stuffed with handwritten recipes. Fischer planned to keep the recipe file intact and actually prepare the dishes it contains. I think her plan for the recipe box nicely illustrated just how personal an estate sale can be. In the end, material possessions alone could never sum up a life well-lived. But a humble recipe box kept intact can symbolize all of the love

A new developer or a homeowners group probably would be expected to pay for the lifts, as well as a concrete trail required in the development. Mountain Adventure Property Investments, which owned the subdivision, is in Chapter 7 bankruptcy. A state trustee has been charged with selling off assets to pay creditors.

This deal between the town and Robinson could clear the air for a new owner, Martin said. Some lots were sold, but owners have been unable to build on them because of legal issues. Martin said he thought the issues were 90 to 95 percent resolved. He’s happy with the way the town was able to work through the problems. “If there’s light at the end of the tunnel, we can certainly see it now,” Martin said. — To reach Blythe Terrell, call 871-4234 or e-mail bterrell@steamboatpilot.com

The beetles have brought down so many trees that planting is crucial, naturalist Anna Kurtz said, “to get the cycle going again.” Six SmartWool employees participated in the planting. They just had their service day a week before and decided to come back out to help, Erin di Santi said. “I think it’s great having the kids out here today, teaching them from a young age to care for the environment,” di Santi said.

ing trees makes maintenance easier, he said. As trees die and fall, they leave less protection for smaller trees and other plants, Carmona said. Those are then more susceptible to being knocked over by wind. He also noted that he’s seen a change in wildlife. Animals such as porcupines are scarcer at the park, Carmona said. Adding trees could bring some of that wildlife back. “If we can just get the forest going, in 20 years we’ll see improvements to wildlife,” Carmona said. “It’s important that we get to rebuilding it for the next generation.” — To reach Blythe Terrell, call 871-4234 or e-mail bterrell@steamboatpilot.com

Wednesday shows shorter If you go

On Wednesday, the first midweek classical concert of the season will take on pieces from centuries of repertoire and feature the electric violin on one selection. The thread for the show, which also features short, fast works by Beethoven and Bach, is the energy; everything on the list is a showpiece. “Things are similar in interesting ways,” Mead said.

Chilean found guilty in 1997 CU student’s slaying THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOULDER

A jury on Friday convicted a Chilean national in the 1997 beating death of a University of Colorado student, a crime that was cold for about a decade until a DNA sample connected him to the murder. Jurors took half a day to convict Diego Olmos Alcalde, 39, of first-degree murder, sexual assault and kidnapping. He had submitted the DNA sample while in a Wyoming prison, and he was arrested last year in the slaying of Susannah Chase, of Stamford, Conn. Chase, a 23-year-old college student, was attacked on a Boulder street corner and dumped in an alley while walking home from a pizza parlor. Olmos Alcalde originally denied knowing Chase or having been to Boulder in decades. But he changed his story at trial, saying he had consensual sex with Chase. Olmos Alcalde kept his head

��

down as the verdicts were read, while some Chase family members quietly wept. After Olmos Alcalde was led away, Chase’s mother told reporters her family was pleased with the verdict but continues to mourn her daughter’s death. “It doesn’t seem like this ends anything,” Julie Chase said. “It’s a relief, as some have suggested, but it’s not a relief for the loss to the family.” The defense plans to appeal. During 10 days of testimony, jurors heard from Olmos Alcalde’s half-sister, Ona Bayers, and his ex-girlfriend, Sonci Francis. Both women told jurors that days after Chase’s death, Olmos Alcalde described a similar attack. Only in Olmos Alcalde’s story, the victim was a man he got into a fight with at a bar, the women said. Jurors also heard from the victim in the Wyoming kidnapping case, who described how Olmos Alcalde in 2000 followed her home, then attacked her in a parking lot and tried to drag her away to a secluded area. Her family, who was nearby, came to her rescue. Chase had left a pizzeria after an argument with her boyfriend and was attacked a block from her home Dec. 21, 1997. She died the next day in a hospital — the same day she was supposed to fly home to Connecticut for Christmas.

AROUND COLORADO Woman who punched flight attendant gets probation DENVER

A federal judge on Friday called a woman who punched a flight attendant earlier this year a “mean drunk,” but he spared her from prison in a separate assault case. U.S. District Judge John Kane in Denver gave 36-yearold Christina Elizabeth Szele credit for four months of time served and placed her on three years of supervised probation for a charge in March in which she allegedly punched her sister-in-law and pulled her hair in New York City, her hometown. Szele had pleaded guilty in February to interfering with a JetBlue crew member who tried to stop her from smoking on a flight from New York to San Francisco last year. She was on probation at the time of the March incident in Queens.

Feds, county at odds on drilling near nuke site GRAND JUNCTION

Federal officials are sticking to their strategy of allowing companies to drill closer to an underground nuclear blast site in western Colorado if it’s phased in so results can

be monitored. Garfield County, where the blast site is located, has asked the Department of Energy to drill test wells to make sure it’s safe before private companies set up rigs. The county commissioners sent a letter this spring to Colorado’s congressional delegation and the DOE asking for field tests so companies drilling for natural gas near the site in Rulison don’t end up playing a “game of chicken.” Concerns about possible releases of radioactive contamination from the underground explosion have increased as more wells have been drilled closer to the spot, about 190 miles west of Denver.

A phone message left for a Joe Holman in Aspen was not returned Friday. Holman was placed on paid

Carbondale sales tax revenue drops in April CARBONDALE

Lower sales tax revenues in Carbondale have town officials leaning toward a structural change if the town can’t right itself. Revenues were down 16 percent in April compared to the same time last year.

Sales taxes make up about 60 percent of the town’s general fund budget.

European leaders who spoke out more forcefully, more quickly than Obama about the unrest in Iran that followed the disputed June 12 elections. “We will not forget,” Merkel said. Turning to Iraq where a deadline for U.S. combat troops to leave all cities was just four days away, Obama offered no support for allowing a spate of recent violence to push back the withdrawal. “If you look at the overall trend, despite some of these high-profile bombings, Iraq’s security situation has continued to dramatically improve,” Obama said. Of bigger concern than the violence, Obama said, is the lack of movement on laws to share oil revenues and other matters that keep Iraq deeply fractured along sectarian lines. He called on Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to step up his leadership.

House passes major energy-climate bill 219-212 vote caps months of negotiations H. Josef Hebert and Dina Cappiello THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

In a triumph for President Barack Obama, the Democraticcontrolled House narrowly passed sweeping legislation Friday that calls for the nation’s first limits on pollution linked to global warming and aims to usher in a new era of cleaner, yet more costly energy. The vote was 219-212, capping months of negotiations and days of intense bargaining among Democrats. Republicans were overwhelmingly against the measure, arguing it would destroy jobs in the midst of a recession while burdening consumers with a new tax in the form of higher energy costs. The House’s action fulfilled Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s vow to clear major energy legislation before July 4 and sent the measure to a highly uncertain fate in the Senate. Obama lobbied recalcitrant Democrats by phone from the White House as the debate unfolded across several hours, and Al Gore posted a statement on his Web site saying the measure represents “an essential first step towards solving the climate crisis.” The former vice president won a Nobel Peace Prize for his work drawing attention to the destructive potential of global warming. On the House floor, Democrats hailed the legislation as historic, while Republicans said it would damage the economy without solving the nation’s energy woes. It is “the most important energy and environmental legislation in the history of our country,” said Rep. Ed Markey, of Massachusetts. “It sets a new course for our country, one that steers us away from foreign oil and toward a path of clean American energy.” But Rep. John Boehner, the House Republican leader, used an extraordinary one-hour speech shortly before the final vote to warn of unintended consequences in what he said was a “defining bill.” He called it a “bureaucratic nightmare” that would cost jobs, depress real estate prices and put the government into parts of the economy where it now has no role. The legislation would require the U.S. to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions by 17 percent from 2005 levels by 2020 and by about 80 percent by mid-century.

Climate bill Q&A Cap-and-trade? Offsets? Pollution credits? The climate bill under consideration in the U.S. House of Representatives tackles global warming with new limits on pollution and a market-based approach to encourage more environmentally friendly business practices. But what exactly do the proposed rules mean, and how would they work? Some questions and answers about the bill, a top legislative priority for President Barack Obama: Q: What’s the purpose of this legislation? A: To reduce the gases linked to global warming and to force sources for power to shift away from fossil fuels, which when burned, release heattrapping gases, and toward cleaner sources of energy such as wind, solar and geothermal. Q: How does the bill accomplish this? A: By placing the first national limits on emissions of heat-trapping gases from major sources like power plants, refineries and factories. This limit effectively puts a price on the pollution, raising the cost for companies to continue to use fuels and electricity sources that contribute to global warming. This gives them an incentive to seek cleaner alternatives. Q: Is this the “cap-and-trade” idea that has been in the news? A: Yes. The first step in a cap-andtrade program sets a limit on the amount of gases that can be released into the atmosphere. That is the cap. Companies with facilities that are covered by the cap will then receive permits for their share of the pollution, an annual pollution allowance. This bill initially would give the bulk of the permits away for free to help ease costs, but they still would have value because there would be a limited supply. Companies that do not get a big enough allowance to cover their pollution would either have to find ways to reduce it, which can be expensive, or buy additional permits from companies that have reduced pollution enough to have allowances left over. That is the trade. Companies typically would pick the cheaper option: reducing pollution or buying permits. They also have a third choice: They can invest in pollution reductions made elsewhere, such as farms that capture methane or plant trees. These are known as offsets. Q: So the idea is to try to reduce the overall level of pollution, regardless of whether, say, a particular factory reduces emissions? A: That is true in the beginning. But as the cap gets lower and lower, reaching an 83 percent reduction by 2050, eventually all polluters will have to reduce. It is merely a question of when. For instance, it will be very tough for coal plants to reduce emissions at the outset of the program because the technology to capture and store carbon dioxide is not yet commercially available. It probably is 10 to 20 years away. So they will be buying offsets and buying allowances from other entities that will have an easier time. — The Associated Press

It was a routine state cabinet meeting, one with reports about declining tax revenues, the number of children on Medicaid and an update about a drunken driving campaign. Routine, except for the 20plus TV cameras and reporters

scrunched into a tiny room in a building next to the state’s Capitol. They were there to watch South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford conduct his first official meeting since making a very public — and torturous — admission that although he has been married for 20 years, he’d carried on a passionate love affair with a woman in Argentina.

Sanford, it seemed, anticipated the media scrum. As he walked to the meeting down a corridor lined with camera bags, tripods and snaking power cords, he held his head high. Sanford kicked off the meeting by apologizing to each of them as cameras clicked and reporters scribbled notes and recorded it all.

A senior cleric Friday urged Iran’s protest leaders be punished “without mercy” and said some should face execution — harsh calls that signal a nasty new turn in the regime’s crackdown on demonstrators two weeks after its disputed election. Hard-liners have ordered long sentences and hangings before, and some fear those awaiting trial by a judiciary whose verdicts reflect the will of supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei could face the most severe punishments the Islamic system can dish out. “Anyone who takes up arms to fight with the people, they are worthy of execution,” Ayatollah Ahmed Khatami, a ranking cleric, said in a nationally broadcast sermon at Tehran University. Khatami said those who disturbed the peace and destroyed public property were “at war with God” and should be “dealt with without mercy.” His call for merciless retribution for those who stirred up Iran’s largest wave of dissent since the 1979 Islamic Revolution came as Mir Hossein Mousavi, the nation’s increasingly isolated opposition leader, has been under heavy pressure to give up his fight and slipped even further from view. Mousavi said he would seek official permission for any future rallies, effectively ending his role in street protests organized by supporters who insist he — not

Stocks end mixed as savings rate jumps NEW YORK

Consumers are saving more than they’re spending, and that has investors worried. Stocks capped a choppy week of trading with a mixed finish Friday after the Commerce Department reported that personal spending, incomes and savings all increased in May. What troubled investors was that the savings rate soared to 6.9 percent, a 15-year high,

while spending increased by a modest 0.3 percent. The trend suggests consumers are being very careful with their money. That’s good for the individual but not great in the short term for the overall economy, which relies heavily on consumer spending for growth. Phil Orlando, chief equity market strategist at Federated Investors, said he expects the savings rate to eventually hit 10 percent before it eases. The savings rate had been 5.6 percent in April, and annual savings rates

were below 1 percent from 2005 through 2007. “If people ramp up savings that aggressively, that is going to result in less GDP recovery than ordinarily would be the case,” Orlando said. Gross domestic product declined at an annual rate of 5.5 percent in the first quarter, the government reported earlier this week. As the first half of 2009 ends, investors are growing more anxious about whether the economy can bounce back later this year.

That uncertainty, bolstered by a mix of promising and worrisome data, led to a bumpy week in the stock market. After sliding early in the week, the Dow Jones industrial average rebounded by 2.1 percent Thursday. But traders appeared eager to take some profits from that jump ahead of the weekend, analysts said. Investors have been worrying that a 35.8 percent rally in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index from a 12-year low on March 9 is overdone because

an economic recovery may be further out than many had hoped. But with the end of the quarter Tuesday, some portfolio managers could be eager to take the market higher to burnish their numbers for the April to June period. Economic data next week, particularly the government’s monthly employment report Thursday, could dominate a week shortened by the Independence Day holiday Friday. Reports are also due on home sales and manufacturing.

Iranian protesters wondering what to do next are being encouraged to consult a source that helped drive a decade of nonviolent revolutions in Eastern Europe: a how-to guide to toppling dictatorships written by a retired American scholar who is little known outside of activist circles. But the Iranian regime definitely knows about 81-year-old Gene Sharp. His name and references to his 1993 book have buzzed across opposition Web sites and social networks. Last year, Iran released a fictionalized video warning that he and others, including Sen. John McCain and billionaire George Soros, were planning a “velvet revo-

lution” in the country, alluding to the 1989 ouster of the Communist government of then-Czechoslovakia. Iranian officials have leveled the same charges against supporters of Mir Hossein Mousavi, who claims the June 12 election was stolen by vote rigging and fraud to re-elect President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Sharp denies playing any role in driving Iran’s worst internal turmoil since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. But he said he would be pleased if his work helped Iranians wage peaceful resistance. “The more they learn that there is a nonviolent alternative to both violence and passive submission, the more chances they are to take a wise course of action rather than a stupid one,” Sharp said in a telephone interview from Boston.

There are multiple references to Sharp’s seminal text, “From Dictatorship to Democracy,” on Twitter and Internet chat rooms, which have become the Iranian protest movement’s lifelines as the government clamps down on media coverage, pro-Mousavi Web sites and other outlets. “Seems the protesters have no way of organizing themselves. Any ideas?” said one anonymous posting this week on WhyWeProtest.net, a Web site bathed in green — the color that Mousavi and his supporters have adopted for their proreform movement. “These books have freed millions,” said an anonymous response, pointing to Farsi translations of Sharp’s guide and a similar manual written by Serbian activists who claim they used the American’s ideas to help topple Slobodan Milosevic in 2000.

During his childhood days, Matt Duchene had a fistful of heroes. Among them was Joe Sakic, of the Colorado Avalanche. “I am a Montreal Canadiens fan, but I grew up really liking Joe Sakic and the Colorado Avalanche, as well,” Duchene said. “He was kind of the guy that I liked before Sidney Crosby came along. “Obviously, Sakic is still going strong in the NHL,” said Duchene, a native of Haliburton, Ontario. “I think he’s probably the biggest class act in the League. He’s a great ambassador of the game, as well.” The Colorado Avalanche made strides to bring the 18year-old center together with Sakic by making Duchene their first-round draft choice and third overall pick in the National Hockey League 2009 Draft on Friday night. “You look in my room, and I have the jerseys of Joe Sakic, Patrick Roy and Peter Forsberg, and I had an inkling they would draft me,” Duchesne said. “When the time came, I started getting excited, and my heart started pounding.” Duchene was drafted after the more publicized center John Tavares, who went to the New York Islanders and defenseman Victory Hedman was taken by Tampa Bay. Colorado director of amateur scouting Rick Pracey said Duchene was a late arrival because of a shoulder ailment that kept him out of the spotlight early in the year and out of the World Junior trial camp. “I had a shoulder and was disappointed with that and just didn’t have the camp I wanted,” Duchene said. “That was the turning point of my year and I learned a lot from being cut from that team (at the World See Avalanche, page 31

Hammel (5-3) allowed only four hits, struck out five and walked two to finish 4-0 this month. The right-hander also extended his career-best win streak to five. Huston Street, pitching against his former team for the first time since being acquired in November as part of a trade that sent slugger Matt Holliday to the A’s, worked a perfect ninth for his 17th save in 18 tries. It was the first game between the teams since 2006. Kurt Suzuki homered, and Holiday doubled twice for Oakland, which lost its third straight. Colorado snapped a twogame losing streak and improved to 23-11 in its past 34 games. The Rockies need two more victories in June to tie the franchise record of 20 wins in a single month. Hammel is a big reason for Colorado’s surge. The lanky right-hander hasn’t lost since May 19 and has been a steadying force for the Rockies since replacing Franklin Morales in the starting rotation after Morales went on the disabled list in April. Colorado has won in each of Hammel’s past seven starts. Before Friday, though, the Rockies hadn’t had much luck against the A’s in interleague play.

Lo and behold, Roger Federer actually lost a set at Wimbledon on Friday. Not a match, mind you, just a set, which in and of itself counts as news. Dating to the start of the 2003 tournament, after all, Federer is 43-1 at the All England Club, dropping a total of 11 sets along Federer the way. Here’s the part that’s interesting — and perhaps intimidating to future foes: Federer called his 6-3, 6-2, 6-7 (5), 6-1 victory against 27th-ranked Philipp Kohlschreiber, of Germany, in the third round his best performance of the week. And now, because Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam tournament that rests on the middle Sunday, Federer gets a full weekend for a little R-’n’-R. “It’s nice to have Saturday, Sunday off. It’s nice get off all the pressure for a day or so before you get sucked into it again,” Federer said. “I like to go to the city. I don’t do it that often.”

TENNIS — WIMBLEDON So he’ll head out to a nice dinner in London with his pregnant wife, then get back to work Monday, facing a familiar opponent: Robin Soderling, the man Federer beat in straight sets in the French Open final this month to complete a career Grand Slam and tie Pete Sampras’ record of 14 major titles. Federer is trying to break that mark by collecting No. 15 overall with a sixth Wimbledon championship this fortnight, while the 13thseeded Soderling will make his debut in the round of 16 at the All England Club after beating Nicolas Almagro, 7-6 (7), 6-4, 6-4. Also moving into the fourth round: Dudi Sela, who beat No. 15 Tommy Robredo, 7-6 (8), 7-5, 2-6, 7-5, and is the first Israeli man to make it this far at Wimbledon in 20 years; No. 4 Novak Djokovic, who eliminated No. 28 Mardy Fish, of the United States, in straight sets; No. 22 Ivo Karlovic, of Croatia, who hit 46 aces to knock off No. 9 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga; and No. 7 Fernando Verdasco, who beat No. 32 Albert Montanes.

Being a celebrity herself didn’t keep Serena Williams from being star-struck each time she met Michael Jackson. Williams and Roger Federer were among the millions of fans lamenting the pop star’s death Thursday. “Words can’t express my shock and horror,” WillWilliams iams said Friday after beating Roberta Vinci to reach Wimbledon’s fourth round. “He was just a complete icon.” Williams said she met Jack-

I kept thinking, ‘Oh, my God, oh my God. It’s him, it’s him.’ So for me, he was the celebrity of all celebrities.” Federer recalled going to a stadium in Basel, Switzerland, as a child in the late 1980s with his sister and standing outside to hear Jackson playing inside. “There was such excitement that he would come,” Federer said after beating Philipp

Kohlschreiber, of Germany. “Obviously I love his music. ... A very sad moment, I think, in the music world. He touched many people. Same for me. But I’ll obviously still listen to his music for many more years to come.” Williams wasn’t able to name her favorite Jackson song but lauded his innovation, calling him “the greatest entertainer, for me, of all time.” “He did things that no one else did,” she said. “Like ‘Thriller’ is the best video ever made still to this day. The videos that he did for his songs, no one had ever even went that far. And he started a whole new trend with that. Dances, singing, beats, you know, everything.”

Man charged in killing Darrent Williams appears for separate case Ivan Moreno

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

A suspect in the slaying of Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams has appeared in court in a separate homicide case. Willie Clark is charged in the 2006 shooting death of Kalonniann Clark, of Denver. He was supposed to enter a plea Friday, but his arraignment was postponed until Oct. 2. Willie Clark also is charged with first degree murder in the drive-by shooting death of Williams on New Year’s Day 2007. He faces 39 counts in that case. The trial is set to begin Oct. 13. Also charged in Kalonniann

Clarks’ death are Brian Hicks and Shun Birch. The homicide is unrelated to Williams’ slaying, but police say Hicks owned an SUV that was used during Williams’ slaying. Prosecutors say Kalonniann Clark was going to testify against Hicks in a drug case and that Hicks told Willie Clark to kill her. Also on Friday, a man considered a witness in the Williams case was arrested when he was spotted in the courtroom. Marquise Harris had an outstanding warrant for failing to appear at a previous hearing on Williams.

Harris told Judge Christina M. Habas that he feared for himself and his family, and he gave a letter to the judge. A court clerk said the letter was sealed to the public. Habas released Harris but warned him he would be arrested again if he failed to appear for future court dates. The three defendants appeared in red jail jumpsuits Friday. They were handcuffed and chained around the waist and feet. Security was tight on the courthouse floor, and everyone on the floor was prohibited from using cell phones.

Avalanche own 3 of top 49 selections Avalanche continued from 29 Junior Trial camp) and I learned how to be really mentally tough. And that’s what got me here.” All that was wiped clean by a strong showing in the season. He had six game-winning goals this past year and directed the Brampton Battalion to the Ontario Hockey League final. He was sixth in the league playoffs with 26 points (14-12-26) and tied for first with six powerplay goals. “If I had one bad game or shift, I didn’t get down on myself,” he said. “I stayed con-

fident, and that was the key.” NHL scouts liked his demeanor and the way he played on both ends of the ice. “Matt Duchene is a pure offensive player who also is a great penalty killer,” NHL Director of Central Scouting E.J. McGuire said. “He is a pure sniper. He plays the point on the powerplay and is a threat to score on the penalty kill, as well.”

Duchene already is thinking ahead. “I want to have good camps, the development camp in a couple of weeks and then in September with the Avalanche,” he said. “I think I’m pretty ready, and hopefully, I can get a spot of the team.” The draft continues with Rounds 2 through 9. The Avalanche own three of the top 49 selections, putting them in position to restock.

Vandahl says Kearney offense better fit for him Vandahl continued from 29 said. “But not great enough to beat us.” Vandahl, a 2008 Steamboat Springs High School graduate, spent his freshman year playing for DU. While he saw very limited action in just two games, Vandahl said the experience playing Division I basketball helped his game immensely. Vandahl said in practices he got much faster and stronger than he was in high school, something he said players have to be at the next level. “You have to work as hard as you can every day,” he said. “It’s not like high school. If you don’t bring it every day, someone will beat you.” Although Vandahl enjoyed his time at DU, he said the Princeton offense coach Joe Scott runs didn’t fit his game.

The Princeton offense grinds out possessions and has teams take shots near the end of the shot clock. At Kearney, Vandahl said the offense is more open and motion-based — something he ran to perfection in Steamboat. “That’s a program that is a real good fit for him,” Meek said. “Always traditionally they’re tough, hard-nosed, nononsense kids. That epitomizes him to the core.” Vandahl also looked at the University of Hawaii and Chaminade University, among others. He said he chose Kearney after taking a visit and realizing he could compete for playing time right away. He also won’t have to sit out a year. He’ll enter the Lopers program as a sophomore, but could petition the NCAA to get a year of eligibility back since

he played so little his freshman year at DU. Meek and Vandahl admitted Meek might have the advantage in how to guard the young point guard. In the competitive spirit both have, however, neither would reveal any sort of game plan. That’s OK to both, as each admit they’ll remain close — except for that one night in January when Western State makes the trip to Kearney. “That will be strange looking at him on the other bench,” Meek said. “But I can’t say enough about what he meant to (Steamboat’s) program to all the kids that watched his work ethic and dedication to the team. He’s in the upper echelon of kids I coached in the last 37 years. He sits up there in that top 1 percent.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

Motorcycle bombs kill 20 people in Baghdad BAGHDAD

Motorcycle bombs killed at least 20 people in separate attacks in Baghdad on Friday, at least 19 of them in a crowded bazaar, part of an apparent trend toward increased use of motorcycles to thwart steppedup security measures. The attacks were the latest in a week of violence that has killed more than 250 people, with just four days to go before the deadline for U.S. combat troops to withdraw from cities. The spike has raised fresh doubts about the ability of Iraqi forces to provide security and fight a stubborn insurgency as their American partners become less visible. U.S. and Iraqi officials have warned they expect more violence in the days surrounding the deadline as militants stage a show of force to try to stoke sectarian bloodshed and undermine confidence in the government.

Swiss unveil prototype for sun-powered plane DUEBENDORF AIRFIELD, SWITZERLAND

20484112

It has the wingspan of a Boeing 747 but weighs less than a small car. And it is powered entirely by the sun. Adventurer Bertrand Piccard on Friday unveiled the Solar Impulse, which, with its sleek white wings and pink trimming, aims to make history as the prototype for a solar-powered flight around the world. “Yesterday it was a dream, today it is an airplane, tomorrow it will be an ambassador of renewable energies,” said Piccard, who in 1999 copiloted the first round-the-globe nonstop balloon flight. The plane will take part in a series of test flights during the next two years, and based on the results of those, a new plane will be constructed for the big takeoff in 2012.

Men at Work accused of plagiarizing kids’ song SYDNEY

Australian rock band Men at Work are fighting accusations that the melody of their 1980s international hit, “Down Under,” was stolen from a popular children’s song about a bird. Publisher Larrikin Music is suing for compensation from royalties earned by Men at Work. On Friday, lawyers for the band’s recording companies — Sony BMG Music Entertainment and EMI Songs Australia — asked for the case to be dismissed.
