The Obamas probably are busy this weekend, John “Doc” Daughenbaugh joked, explaining why he and his wife were chosen as parade grand marshals. Doc and Marsha Daughenbaugh are scheduled to lead today’s Fourth of July Parade on Lincoln Avenue in downtown Steamboat Springs. The two weren’t sure Thursday what their duties would entail, and they didn’t have big plans to dress up, shake hands or kiss babies. “I’m not running for office,” Doc Daughenbaugh said. They were nominated by Sandy Evans Hall, executive vice president of the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association. The Chamber and the Cowboy Roundup Days committee choose the grand marshals, she said. “It was primarily for the work that they’ve done with the agricultural alliance and what they’ve brought to the valley with cultural heritage tourism and the multiple generations they have in ranching,” Evans Hall said. The Daughenbaughs represent the core of what Cowboy Roundup Days is all about: celebrating the ranching heritage of the area, she said. The couple will ride in the front of the parade and then sit on the judges’ stand and watch. Marsha Daughenbaugh said she figured the ranching ties earned the couple the JOEL REICHENBERGER/STAFF Marsha and John Daughenbaugh will be the grand marshals of the Fourth of July Parade today in Steamboat Springs. The honor. She’s the executive parade starts at 10 a.m. along Lincoln Avenue. The theme is ‘Steamboat Seasons … Celebrating the Beauty.’ For a calendar of the director of the Community weekend’s events, see page 6. See Ranchers, page 12

The weekend’s fireworks started with a bang Friday night. A short show followed the first of the weekend’s two Steamboat Springs Pro Rodeo Series events. A longer version is planned to follow tonight’s rodeo performance. The booming should start a little after 9:15 p.m.

For about 20 minutes tonight, fireworks will be launched into the air at a rate of nearly three per second with the goal of pulling off Steamboat Springs’ larg-

Like the community it chronicles, the Tread of Pioneers Museum has had a unique and sometimes rough-and-tumble history on its way to a more refined existence. “One of my fondest memories of the museum and (museum founder) Dorothy Wither was that Dorothy really kind of ramrodded everything,” former museum board member Jim Stanko said Friday at the Tread’s first installment of this year’s Brown Bag Lecture Series. “As the treasurer, she had this unique ability to get money out

of people.” Stanko served on the board from 1975 until the early ’90s, most of that time as its president. In the early years, Stanko said, Wither made board members swear not to reveal how much money the museum had. Stanko said Friday that they usually had about $10,000 in the bank.

“But according to Dorothy, we were always poor and needed money,” Stanko said, “especially with the City Council and Board of County Commissioners.” Present board member Jayne Hill recalled the first time the museum was able to hire a staff member to sit at the museum’s front desk — a woman who turned out to be far more interested in her needlework than sharing local history with visitors. “She was very put off when somebody came to visit the museum,” Hill said. “I don’t know why we paid her $6 an hour.” See Museum, page 13

COMMENTARY

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

That ’30s show Paul Krugman NEW YORK TIMES

OK, Thursday’s jobs report settles it. We’re going to need a bigger stimulus. But does the president know that? Let’s do the math. Since the recession began, the U.S. economy has lost 6.5 million jobs — and as that grim employment report confirmed, it’s continuing to lose jobs at a rapid pace. Once you take into account the 100,000-plus new jobs that we need Krugman each month just to keep up with a growing population, we’re about 8.5 million jobs in the hole. And the deeper the hole gets, the harder it will be to dig ourselves out. The job figures weren’t the only bad news in Thursday’s report, which also

showed wages stalling and possibly on the verge of outright decline. That’s a recipe for a descent into Japanese-style deflation, which is very difficult to reverse. Lost decade, anyone? Wait — there’s more bad news: the fiscal crisis of the states. Unlike the federal government, states are required to run balanced budgets. And faced with a sharp drop in revenue, most states are preparing savage budget cuts, many of them at the expense of the most vulnerable. Aside from directly creating a great deal of misery, these cuts will depress the economy even further. So what do we have to counter this scary prospect? We have the Obama stimulus plan, which aims to create 3.5 million jobs by late next year. That’s much better than nothing, but it’s not remotely enough. And there doesn’t seem to be much else going on. Do you remember the administration’s plan to sharply reduce the rate of foreclosures,

or its plan to get the banks lending again by taking toxic assets off their balance sheets? Neither do I. All of this is depressingly familiar to anyone who has studied U.S. economic policy in the 1930s. Once again a Democratic president has pushed through job-creation policies that will mitigate the slump but aren’t aggressive enough to produce a full recovery. Once again, much of the stimulus at the federal level is being undone by budget retrenchment at the state and local level. So have we failed to learn from history, and are we, therefore, doomed to repeat it? Not necessarily — but it’s up to the president and his economic team to ensure that things are different this time. President Barack Obama and his officials need to ramp up their efforts, starting with a plan to make the stimulus bigger. See Krugman, page 9

Chinese fireworks display David Brooks NEW YORK TIMES

On July Fourth, we think about our country and its future. But these days it’s impossible to think about America and its future role in the world without also thinking about China. This was the subject of a combative discussion this week at the Aspen Ideas Festival. The agent provocateur was Niall Ferguson of Harvard. China and the United States, he argued, used to have a symbiotic Brooks relationship and formed a tightly integrated unit that he calls Chimerica. In this unit, China did the making, and the United States did the buying. China did the saving, while America did the spending. Between 1995 and 2005, the U.S. savings rate declined from

MALLARD FILLMORE

about 5 percent to zero, and the Chinese savings rate increased from 30 percent to nearly 45 percent. This savings diversion allowed the Chinese to plow huge amounts of capital into the United States and dollar-denominated assets. Cheap Chinese labor kept American inflation low. Chinese efforts to keep the renminbi from appreciating against the dollar kept our currency strong and allowed us to borrow at low interest rates. During the first few years of the 21st century, Chimerica worked great. This unit accounted for about a quarter of the world’s GDP and for about half of global growth. But a marriage in which one partner does all the saving and the other partner does all the spending is not going to last. The frictions are building and will lead to divorce, conflict and potential catastrophe. China, Ferguson argued, is now decoupling from the United States.

Chinese business leaders assume that American consumers never again will go on a spending binge. The Chinese are developing an economy that relies more on internal consumption. Chinese officials also are aware that America will never get its fiscal house in order. There may be theoretical plans to reduce the federal deficit and the national debt, but there is no politically practical way to get there. Depreciation is inevitable and the Chinese are working to end the dollar’s role as the world’s reserve currency. Chinese nationalism is also on the rise. The Internet has made young Chinese more nationalistic. The Chinese are acquiring resources around the world and with them, willy-nilly, an overseas empire that threatens U.S. interests. The Chinese are building their navy, a historic precursor to expanded See Brooks, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

Make stimulus bigger Ferguson gives powerful case Brooks continued from 8 ambitions and global conflict. Think of China, Ferguson concluded, as Kaiser Wilhelm’s Germany in the years before World War I: a growing, aggressive, nationalistic power whose ambitions will tear through preexisting commercial ties and historic friendships. James Fallows, of The Atlantic, has lived in China for the past three years. He agreed with parts of Ferguson’s take on the economic fundamentals, but seemed to regard Ferguson’s analysis of the Chinese psychology as airy-fairy academic theorizing. At one point, while Fallows was defending Chinese intentions, Ferguson shot back: “You’ve been in China too long.” Fallows responded that there must be a happy medium between being in China too long and being in China too little. Fallows pointed out that there is no one thing called “China” or “the Chinese,” and that many of the most anti-American statements from Chinese officials are made to blunt domestic anxiety and make further integration possible. That integration, Fallows continued, is deep and will get

deeper. Many, many Chinese leaders were educated in the United States and admire or at least respect it. If you go to cities like Xian, you find American and European aviation firms fully integrated into the commercial fabric there. Fallows’ main argument, though, was psychological. When he lived in Japan in the 1980s, he said, he sometimes felt that the Japanese had a chip-ontheir-shoulder attitude in which their success was bound to U.S. decline. He says he rarely got that feeling in China. Instead, he has described officials who are thrilled to be integrated in the world. Their mothers had bound feet. They themselves plowed the fields in the Cultural Revolution. Now they get to join the world. I came to the debate agreeing more with Fallows and left the same way, but I was impressed by how powerfully Ferguson made his case. And I was struck by their agreement about what to do. This conversation, like many conversations these days, gets back to America’s debt. Until the United States gets its fiscal house in order, relations with countries like China will be fundamentally insecure.

Just to be clear, I’m well aware of how difficult it will be to get such a plan enacted. There won’t be any cooperation from Republican leaders, who have settled on a strategy of total opposition, unconstrained by facts or logic. Indeed, these leaders responded to the latest job numbers by proclaiming the failure of the Obama economic plan. That’s ludicrous, of course. The administration warned from the beginning that it would be several quarters before the plan had any major positive effects. But that didn’t stop the chairman of the Republican Study Committee from issuing a statement demanding: “Where are the jobs?” It’s also not clear whether the administration will get much help from Senate “centrists,” who partially eviscerated the original stimulus plan by demanding cuts in aid to state and local governments — aid that, as we’re now seeing, was desperately

needed. I’d like to think that some of these centrists are feeling remorse, but if they are, I haven’t seen any evidence to that effect. And as an economist, I’d add that many members of my profession are playing a distinctly unhelpful role. It has been a rude shock to see so many economists with good reputations recycling old fallacies — like the claim that any rise in government spending automatically displaces an equal amount of private spending, even when there is mass unemployment — and lending their names to grossly exaggerated claims about the evils of short-run budget deficits. (Right now, the risks associated with additional debt are much less than the risks associated with failing to give the economy adequate support.) Also, as in the 1930s, the opponents of action are peddling scare stories about inflation even as deflation looms. So getting another round of stimulus will be difficult. But it’s essential.

Hayden faces fund shortage Trustees to confront expected $250,000 enterprise gap Blythe Terrell

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

HAYDEN

Hayden’s elected leaders should head for their next meeting ready to make tough decisions, Town Manager Russ Martin said. Martin warned the Town Board of Trustees on Thursday that Hayden’s enterprise fund could run about $250,000 short for the year. Hayden hasn’t brought in any fees for new water and sewer taps because of the lack of new construction. The town must act, and it will, Martin said. “Also, we lost $15,000 be-

cause God gave us a bunch of rain last month,” he said, citing a decline in water payments from residents. “It’s not necessarily a good thing when people don’t water their yards.” Martin spoke to trustees about the problem with the water and sewer fund at the end of the board’s meeting. Earlier, trustees had approved final revisions to the 2009 general fund budget. Those involved a $195,850 reduction in projected revenue. Town staff members cut $212,960 in expenses to address the problem. The board will confront the enterprise fund issues at its July 23 meeting. Martin said the

town could consider a bridge loan and had spoken with bankers about the possibility. Hayden has $600,000 in reserves but shouldn’t spend that to bail out the enterprise fund, Martin said. “It’s a very serious situation, but it’s very solvable,” he told trustees. Also at Thursday’s meeting, trustees discussed the Poplar Street road and sidewalk project. Hayden had considered using BidBridge, an online bidding system. Trustees decided not to do so on the advice of their lawyer, Mike Holloran. See Shortage, page 17

Hiker lost in Buffalo Park on Friday Search and Rescue contacted man, who ‘is cold and wet but OK’ Brandon Gee

Unable to field a team of its own, Routt County Search and Rescue turned the search for a lost hiker in Buffalo Park south of Rabbit Ears Pass over to a Grand County search crew. Routt County Search and Rescue first was dispatched at about 2:30 p.m. Spokesman Darrel Levingston said that although the hiker is in Grand

County, access is easier for search crews in Routt County. Because too few volunteers responded, however, Levingston said Routt County Search and Rescue handed the search over to a Grand County team of eight people. Levingston said Routt County Search and Rescue has been in contact with the lost hiker and his wife, who is at the couple’s campsite. Levingston said the man left for a hike at 9:30 a.m. At 5 p.m. Friday,

Levingston said the Grand County crew was about 45 minutes away from the lost hiker’s campsite. “He is cold and wet but otherwise OK,” Levingston said about the hiker. Through the interview process, Levingston said Routt County Search and Rescue has narrowed the hiker’s location to a small area near Milk Reservoir and have relayed that information to the Grand County search crew.

Agriculture Alliance, and the family runs a ranch on the lower Elk River. The property is about eight miles from Steamboat on Routt County Road 44. At least part of the land has been in Marsha Daughenbaugh’s family since 1946, when her father, Raymond Gray, bought it. She represents the third of five generations to live in Routt County. Gray moved to the area with his family in 1939. His parents were John and Sena Baalhorn. Marsha’s mother’s parents, Richard and Gladys Paine, moved to the area in 1937. Doc Daughenbaugh grew up on a dairy farm in Punxsutawney, Pa. “I knew from the time I was about 5 or 6 years old, I was moving to Colorado when I was old enough,” he said. Now, Marsha and Doc live on the ranch with Gray;

They host picnics at the ranch for groups they’re involved in, and Marsha said they still plan to have their annual Fourth of July picnic after the parade. That’s been going on for about three decades, she said. The Daughenbaughs said they were honored to be selected as grand marshals. “We decided it was a pretty cool thing,” Marsha Daughenbaugh said. Her husband agreed. “I really am kind of surprised and humbled about this,” Doc Daughenbaugh said.

Doc Daughenbaugh and Troy Allen manage the ranch, Marsha said. “We don’t own any cattle of our own,” she said. “We bring cattle in to graze them for the summer months. We take care of them, but we also put up quite a bit of hay, and that’s what Doc and Troy manage.” Doc moved to Steamboat in 1971 after serving in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. He’s a member of the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Doc and Marsha married in 1973. “My life has been better since then,” he said with a smile. The two also have ties to recreation in Steamboat. In winter, Doc Daughenbaugh works in security at the Steamboat Ski Area. He’s been doing so for more than 25 years. He said he likes the agricul-

Museum relies on tax levy and donations Stanko and Hill reminisced about the museum’s history at Friday’s event, which served as a precursor to today’s celebration of the museum’s 50th anniversary. The celebration will be held in conjunction with the annual Pioneer Day Block Party. The party will feature a free concert by Steamboat Swings, swing dancing demonstrations and instruction, children’s pioneer games, Victorian and pioneer characters, free hot dogs, free admission to the museum and a 50th anniversary cake. Descendents of Steamboat’s founding family, the Crawfords, will help serve up the event’s signature Routt Beer Floats. The museum has come a long way since it was founded by Wither in 1959. Before it had staff members, Stanko recalled the hands-on board members’ meeting every May to prepare the museum for its opening — back then, it was only open during the summer. Stanko said board members would unpack the collection and crudely hang items with tape and thumbtacks. “It would just make people shudder today,” Stanko said. “It’s all full of holes where you hammered it up,” Hill joked about one of the museum’s valuable Native American blankets. Hill relayed her own memory of preparing the museum to open when she and some other ladies locked themselves out of the building and had to call the police, who were forced to decide between dealing with “the old ladies at the museum or the kids on the telephone pole.” There may have been wine involved. Stanko recalled that people used to leave donations to the museum on the front porch, and museum officials were surprised one day to find a pistol, rifle and ammunition there.

“We’d come to work, and you’d be surprised how many things we’d find stacked on the porch,” Stanko said. “Here’s a pistol, a rifle and ammunition just sitting against the door!” Hill said board members would hardly have any friends left after fundraising drives. “Board members presently have no idea what it was like to be a board member back then,” Hill said. Today, the museum has a paid staff, its books are open, the collection is handled more professionally, and 50 percent of its costs are covered by a 0.3

mill property tax levy approved by voters in 2003. Executive Director Candice Lombardo said the museum still relies on volunteers, however, and still needs space to display and store its collections properly. Hill said the museum is continually striving for professionalism, and that’s why she’s willing to put her friends on the line once more. “You’ll begin to hear rumblings, once again, that we’re facing space issues,” she said. — To reach Brandon Gee, call 871-4210 or e-mail bgee@steamboatpilot.com

People encouraged to bring water on tour Rodeo at 5 p.m. The tours run from 1 to 4:30 p.m. The tours are on coaches and leave from the Artists’ Gallery of Steamboat. Daughenbaugh said she and Mucklow usually get 25 to 30 people. About half tend to be visitors and half tend to be residents interested in agriculture. “There’s the lure of the West also,” Daughenbaugh said. “People want to understand why people wanted to come to this area and homestead.” The tours cost $50 for adults, though people who ask for a $10 discount can have one, Daughenbaugh said. Children ages 7 to 12 cost $10, and children 6 and younger are admitted free. Organizers provide activity packets to keep children entertained while Daughenbaugh and Mucklow narrate the tour on the bus. The ranchers speak about

their operations and allow visitors to touch things and participate. They use Go Alpine coaches and encourage people to wear shoes, not sandals, and bring water along. This is the fifth year of the Cow Town Ranch Tours. The events aren’t big moneymakers, Daughenbaugh said. “We never make enough money to hardly cover our expenses,” she said. Mucklow said people sometimes attend one and then come back for more. He sees a lot of second-home owners on the tours. The event reminds them about the history of the Yampa Valley, Mucklow said. “It’s a ski town … but its roots are ranching, so I think it’s cool to show that off,” he said. Sunday’s participants will get a treat because few elk ranches exist, Mucklow said. M&M Elk Ranch has been around about 18 years, ranch manager Steve

Ullrich said. The ranch raises elk for food and hunting. M&M has about 80 elk right now, Ullrich said. “Right now, you’ll be able to see baby calves, so that’s a very special time of year for kids and stuff,” he said. “My grandkids love it.” All the ranchers approached by organizers have happily participated, Daughenbaugh said. Ranch tourists will have the opportunity to ask questions. “Ranchers and farmers are very highly educated in their jobs, in their professions,” she said. “They’re good spokespeople for their profession.” Mucklow said he’s gotten great reviews for the Cow Town tours. “They really enjoy themselves,” he said. “I think they’re surprised at how little they know about where their food comes from and how much fun they have.”

to be a great show.” The fireworks display begins at about 9:30 p.m. Borden said it will include a firework that, at 16 inches in diameter, is one of the largest single fireworks in the nation. Borden holds federal licenses that allow him to purchase, store and display fireworks. Although the city allocates $10,000 annually for the show, and that is matched by another $10,000 from sponsors, Borden buys more than $100,000 worth of fireworks wholesale from China every few years and employs volunteers to put on a fireworks show for a fraction of what it would cost another community to put on a comparable show with an outside contractor. Borden said he has 20 volunteers this year, who will start working at 8 a.m. today. He also said he has attended a couple of professional conventions in the past year and purchased brand new firing equipment. Technical issues and a few small fires cut the 2008 show short. Borden said the city of Steamboat Springs has approved a new firing site on Howelsen Hill this year that will allow the fireworks to be seen from more locations in town than ever before. There are three total firing sites. Residents are encouraged to watch the show from home, and those who will travel to Howelsen Hill are encouraged to take Steamboat Springs Transit’s free buses or park at

Tonight’s fireworks display begins at about 9:30 p.m. Residents are encouraged to watch the show from home, and those who will travel to Howelsen Hill are encouraged to take Steamboat Springs Transit’s free buses or park at the Stock Bridge Transit Center and walk to Howelsen Hill on the Yampa River Core Trail.

the Stock Bridge Transit Center and walk to Howelsen Hill on the Yampa River Core Trail. “It’s a challenge to park at Howelsen,” said Chris Wilson, director of the Parks, Open Space and Recreational Services Department. “Howelsen’s going to be very busy.” Steamboat Springs Transit will run six extra buses this evening to transport people to and from the fireworks show at Howelsen Hill. Bus service normally ends at 10:30 p.m., but Transit Operations Manager Jonathan Flint said service will continue today for as long as it’s needed to clear crowds after the show. Cyclists are encouraged to make sure they have a light on their bike. “Afterward, it’s pitch black, and it’s dangerous on the trail,” Wilson said.

For safety reasons, trail access between Blackmere Drive and Howelsen Hill Stables will be closed today from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Blackmere Drive itself will be closed only from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. “We are certainly hopeful that nobody wanders up there after 6 p.m. at night, because that’s dangerous,” Borden said. “In the fireworks business, people don’t get burned, it’s usually much more serious.” This year’s show is sponsored by the city, Native Excavating, TIC, Ace at the Curve, My Wireless, Steamboat Resorts, KBCR Big Country Radio and Yampa Valley Bank.

remember, even legal fireworks burn at high temperatures and can ignite clothing easily; always keep children away from fireworks. ■ Firecrackers, rockets (including bottle rockets), Roman candles and mortars are not legal anywhere in Colorado. ■ Never relight fireworks that have gone out, they still could be live and go off unexpectedly. ■ Establish a safe viewing area away from houses and shrubbery; never light fireworks inside. ■ Fireworks of any kind are illegal on U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management lands. ■ For more information or assistance in preparing for a safe Fourth of July celebration, call Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue Mountain offices at 879-0700 or 879-7170.

MOUNTAIN NEWS

Helicopter plucks infested pines in effort to slow beetles Janet Urquhart THE ASPEN TIMES

ASPEN

Aspenites were shut out of their Smuggler Mountain stomping grounds Thursday but treated to the spectacle of huge trees dangling from a cable, pulled aloft by a helicopter as part of an experimental effort to slow the spread of the mountain pine beetle. Pitkin County and city of Aspen trail rangers closed off access to the mountain from Smuggler Mountain Road and various trails until late afternoon, while the felled trees swung over the forest canopy. The pilot deftly retrieved a tree about every two minutes from various spots at mid-mountain where 202 lodgepole pines infested with beetle larvae were felled by loggers earlier in the

week and painted with blaze orange to help the pilot spot them from above. Originally, rangers hoped to keep the lower mile of Smuggler Mountain Road open for hikers and mountain bikers, but the fuel truck for the helicopter couldn’t make it up the road, said Gary Tennenbaum, land steward for the Pitkin County Open Space and Trails program. Hasty arrangements were made to allow the helicopter to set down at the Smuggler Mine site at the base of the mountain for periodic refueling, and the road was closed from the base at the edge of town. Thursday’s planned closure was announced in advance, and the county had received only a couple of complaints early in the day, Tennenbaum said.

Pine beetle workshop Area residents will have a chance to learn how to protect their own trees from mountain pine beetles at a forum Tuesday in Aspen. An expert on the use of verbenone, a pheremone that can be used to deter beetles from infesting healthy trees, will be on hand at the forum, to be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the Aspen Mountain Room at the Sky Hotel. Don Fowler, of Contech, a Canadian manufacturer of verbenone, will share his knowledge on combating the mountain pine beetle in the forests of British Columbia. In addition, Pitkin County Commissioner Patti Clapper will attend to discuss the beetle mitigation work being done on Smuggler Mountain. Clapper and Fowler will speak briefly at the start of the forum and be available to answer questions. Go to www.fortheforest.org for more information. — The Aspen Times

Stimulus funds to go toward road projects Shortage continued from 11 The town plans to set up information for the bids next week so the trustees could approve a bid for the project in August. “The contractors were told they’d be given two weeks … we haven’t started that clock yet,” Martin said. Louisville, Ky.-based BidBridge arranges for sellers to bid online for projects. The contractors have a 30-minute window to enter a bid. Bidders can’t see who else is bidding or what the other bids are, but they can see where their bids rank, from highest to lowest. Contractors had opposed the BidBridge process because they thought bidders could put in numbers that were artificially low. Martin also said he has cho-

sen project managers for the Poplar Street project and a group of sidewalk projects. Landmark Consultants will manage the Poplar Street project, and Drexel Barrell will manage the sidewalk project. The Poplar work will include drainage and realignment of the road from the bridge over Dry Creek to U.S. Highway 40. The town plans to add sidewalks on Poplar, Third Street and Jefferson Avenue. The town will get Colorado Department of Transportation money and federal stimulus money for part of those projects. “We can do the job with money we’ve got?” Trustee Jim Haskins asked. “Well, we’ll find out,” Martin said. “There’s a lot of opportunity for value engineering.” Board members grappled

with the issue of weeds in vacant lots, a problem that Trustee Bill Hayden said was close to his heart. He showed photos of vacant lots with tall weeds. Code enforcement is the biggest challenge when it comes to weeds, Martin said. People get a letter and then are called to court, and the process takes time. The town would have to alter its code to address weed issues differently. Hayden said it was crucial to deal with the problem. The weeds are seeding, and the problem will worsen, he said. Martin mentioned that some of the lot owners didn’t live in town. “I don’t care if they live in Afghanistan and they’re fighting for the Taliban,” Hayden said. “We need to take care of this.”

Casket makers catering to natural burials have offered biodegradable coffins made of such materials as recycled newspapers or cardboard. Ecoffins USA, based in Montrose is selling caskets made of banana sheaves. They take six months to two years to biodegrade. Marketing Director Joanna Passarelli says the company sold $40,000 worth of banana-sheaf or bamboo coffins to funeral homes last year. At least 14 funeral homes across the country offer them. “We either get an, ‘Oh, my,’

or, ‘That’s very interesting,”’ Passarelli said. “Some people think it’s a great idea. We’ve had funeral directors look at them and say, ‘I guess you can go to hell in a handbasket now.”’ In natural burials, bodies aren’t embalmed and eventually decompose into the earth. Ecoffins USA is the sister company of The SAWD Partnership, which has helped fuel the “green” funeral movement in the United Kingdom. Sax-Tiedemann Funeral Home and Crematorium in Franklin, Ill., has sold one banana Ecoffin since it started offering Ecoffins in the last several months.

Suit targets mercury pollution from plant

An environmental group is suing Xcel Energy, saying the utility isn’t doing all it can to cut mercury emissions from a new coal-fired unit at a Pueblo power plant. WildEarth Guardians says in a federal lawsuit filed Thursday that Xcel is violating federal environmental laws by failing to obtain the approval required by the federal Clean Air Act. “Xcel Energy is plowing

ahead to fire up its smokestack without first ensuring full protection of public health and welfare. That’s not only dangerous, it’s illegal,” said Jeremy Nichols, of WildEarth Guardians’ Denver office. The $1.3 billion unit, the third at the Comanche Generating Station, will produce 750 megawatts of electricity — enough for about 750,000 households. Construction is under way. Xcel and state health officials say the company has a permit

that sets limits on the unit’s mercury emissions. Paul Tourangeau, director of the state Air Pollution Control Division, said plans for the Comanche Station include equipment to significantly reduce mercury pollution and monitor emissions. Tourangeau said the state extended the deadline to July 29 for Xcel to update information on efforts to reduce mercury emissions. The update is required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. ��

said it’s not that far removed from the woven baskets funeral homes used in the 1950s and ’60s to pick up bodies from hospitals and nursing homes. Passarelli contends the bamboo and banana coffins, made in Asia, are better for the environment than the cremation process. Her interest in ecofriendly coffins grew after her son’s school showed the movie “An Inconvenient Truth” in which Al Gore warns about climate change. Her son came home wondering why he should bother with homework if the world would be destroyed. “I said if everybody did one little thing, it would have a snowball effect,” she said.

140,000 ladybugs released Aspen beekeeper using insect alternative to insecticides ASPEN

robbery, a victim was forced at gunpoint to walk from room to room in his house. Police identified the suspect as Bobby Berry. He was arrested on suspicion of burglary, theft, second-degree kidnapping and giving false information to pawn brokers. A woman identified as his girlfriend, Jennifer Trimble, was arrested on suspicion of burglary and theft. It wasn’t immediately known whether either has an attorney. It’s not clear what charges Berry faced when he was in the work-release program.

An Aspen beekeeper has released 140,000 ladybugs to attack an aphid infestation plaguing the city’s cottonwood trees. Ginger Janssen released the bugs Thursday and plans to release 280,000 more in the next two weeks. She says she paid about $150 for them. Janssen says ladybugs are an environmentally friendly alternative to insecticides that city officials are using. She says insecticides are responsible for a collapse of bee colonies around the world. She worries her bees will be affected because they use cottonwood sap to seal their hives. City Forester Chris Forman likes the idea of ladybugs but isn’t sure they alone can get the job done.

Palin to resign as governor Alaska Republican to step down from position July 26 Rachel D’Oro

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin surprised supporters Friday and announced she is resigning from office at the end of the month without explaining why she plans to step down — throwing into question whether she would seek a run for the White House in 2012. The news rattles a Republican Party plagued with setbacks in recent weeks, including extramarital affairs disclosed by two other 2012 presidential prospects, Nevada Sen. John Ensign and South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford. Palin hastily called a news conference Friday morning at her home in suburban Wasilla, giving such short notice that only a few reporters made it to the announcement. Security blocked late-arriving media outside her home, and her spokesman, Dave Murrow, finally emerged to confirm that Palin will step down July 26. He refused to give details about the governor’s future plans. The former Republican vice presidential candidate said she had been considering leaving office since she decided not to run for re-election. “Many just accept that lame duck status, and they hit that

road. They draw a paycheck. They kind of milk it. And I’m not going to put Alaskans through that,” Palin said. Palin spokesman David Murrow said the governor didn’t say anything to him about this being her “political finale.” Murrow said he interpreted Palin’s comment about working outside government as reflecting her current job only. “She’s looking forward to serving the public outside the governor’s chair,” he said. Political analyst Larry Sabato, in Charlottesville, Va., said Palin’s announcement left many wondering what her plans were. “It’s absolutely bizarre, and I think it eliminates her from serious consideration for the presidency in 2012,” he said. Palin hinted that she had a bigger role in mind, saying she wanted to make a “positive change outside government.” But she kept supporters in suspense, promising later Friday on Twitter: “We’ll soon attach info on decision to not seek re-election ... this is in Alaska’s best interest, my family’s happy ... it is good. Stay tuned.” Jerry McBeath, a veteran political science professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, called the pending resignation a “smart move,” for Palin and the state.

A man charged with shooting a prominent Kansas doctor who performed late-term abortions has been advocating through mailings from his jail cell that such killings are justifiable and communicating with individuals on the fringes of the anti-abortion movement, weeks after suggesting others might be planning similar attacks. Scott Roeder, 51, is charged with first-degree murder and ag-

gravated assault in the May 31 death of Dr. George Tiller — an attack that reignited the national debate over late-term abortion and gave Roeder icon status among extremists in the antiabortion movement. From his cell in Sedgwick County jail, Roeder has been sending anti-abortion pamphlets that laud Paul Hill, who was convicted of murdering an abortion provider in 1994, as an “American hero,” and include examples of Hill’s writings about how the killing of abortion providers is justifiable. Hill was executed in 2003 for

killing Dr. John Bayard Britton and his bodyguard outside a Pensacola, Fla., abortion clinic. Roeder also has been corresponding with the Rev. Donald Spitz — whose Army of God group’s Web site celebrates Hill and who says he sent Roeder seven of the pamphlets at Roeder’s request — and Linda Wolfe, an Oregon activist who has been jailed about 50 times for anti-abortion activities and who is close friends with a woman convicted of shooting Tiller in the arms in 1993. She says Roeder mailed her one of the pamphlets.

COLUMBIA, S.C.

After a week that offered the world a glimpse into the conflicted mind of philandering South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, his constituents differed Friday on whether he should leave office. Some said the decision should be up to his wife, Jenny. And it’s a safe bet that his political future

is a topic of conversation as the Sanford family spends the holiday weekend in Florida, where her parents live. But others, including influential lawmakers, said Sanford must resign after misleading the public about his loyalty to family and trips to see his mistress. Sanford admitted a yearlong affair with an Argentine woman after he returned from South America on June 24 after a puz-

zling, five-day absence from the state. He had ditched his security detail and misled staffers who told reporters he was hiking on the Appalachian Trail. “We can never trust him again,” said Pam Johnson, a 45-year-old nurse from Greenville who has three teenage children. “What a hypocrite. He betrayed his family. He betrayed his state. South Carolina has become a national joke. He just needs to go.”

Many tax refunds delayed Governments could face interest if funds are kept much longer Greg Bluestein

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA

Colin Daymude was out of work last year after his business failed and eagerly filed his taxes in mid-January, figuring he’d get his refund sooner. He was wrong. It took the 44-year-old entrepreneur more than six months to get his $1,300 check — money that he needed to pay living expenses while he worked a few side gigs. Tax day — April 15 — has long since come and gone, but

sharp budget cuts and falling revenues have forced many states to delay income tax returns for months — and left taxpayers longing for their money. “I’m just trying to get my money back,” a frustrated Daymude said. “It’s my money anyways.” Some states say plummeting tax collections drove them to hold on to the money so they can make ends meet. Others complain of not being able to keep up because the economic downturn has forced staffing cuts in revenue departments. But critics worry govern-

ments are withholding funds that rightly belong to taxpayers when they need the extra cash the most. And some of the tardy states are fast approaching a stiff deadline of their own: The longer they wait, the more likely they’ll have to pony up interest from thinning state coffers. That prospect soon could become a reality in Georgia and Alabama, where tax officials are racing to beat a midJuly deadline to send hundreds of thousands of tax refunds or risk racking up millions of dollars in interest.

Powerful sedative found in Jackson home Michael R. Blood

LOS ANGELES

The powerful sedative Diprivan was found in Michael Jackson’s home, a law enforcement official said Friday as the city planned for a massive crowd at the singer’s memorial service. Diprivan is an anesthetic widely used in operating rooms

to induce unconsciousness. Also known as Propofol, it’s given intravenously and is very unusual to have in a private home. The law enforcement official spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to speak about the matter. A Los Angeles police spokesman, Lt. John Romero, declined to discuss the case. “It’s an ongoing investigation,” he said.

The cause of Jackson’s death has not been determined. Autopsy results are not expected for several weeks. At the downtown Staples Center, where Jackson’s memorial will be held Tuesday morning, Assistant Police Chief Earl Paysinger said between 250,000 and 700,000 people could try to reach the arena, even though only 17,500 tickets will be available.

Embassy to be put on trial

Iranian cleric: British staffers encouraged dissent after election � � � � � � � �

A powerful cleric said Friday that Iran will put British Embassy staffers on trial for

fomenting postelection turmoil, a step that likely would increase Iran’s isolation and alienate Western nations that have been trying to keep options open with Tehran despite its crackdown on protesters. The announcement fueled calls in Europe for tougher action against Tehran. Britain is pressing for members of the European Union to pull their ambassadors out of Tehran to protest the staffers’ arrests last week. The standoff is a test of how far Iran’s clerical rulers are willing to go to shore up their position at home after the wave of protests — even if they risk wrecking possibilities for dialogue between Tehran and the West, a major policy goal of President Barack Obama that Tehran cautiously welcomed. After quashing the street demonstrations, Iran’s leadership has been trying to erase any lingering doubts about the legitimacy of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad by portraying the unrest as sparked by foreign meddling, not by public anger over the June 12 election, which the protesters said was fraudulent. Prosecuting the detained Iranian members of the British Embassy staff could help boost its case before the Iranian public. At the same time, the arrests test the U.S. and Europe’s policy,

which has so far been to avoid an overly harsh reaction to Iran’s postelection crisis. The West has been wary of condemnations of Iran’s leadership, in part for fear of undermining prospects for future talks with Tehran, particularly over its controversial nuclear program. So far, the EU has taken an incremental approach. On Friday, a day after issuing a public call for the staffers’ release, governments across the 27-nation bloc summoned Iran’s ambassadors to present the demand in person. Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt said the EU’s “escalatory approach to Iran was working.” But French President Nicolas Sarkozy said his country backs Britain’s push for tougher action, “so that Iranian leaders will really understand that the path that they have chosen will be a dead end.” British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said his country is “deeply concerned” about the personnel, who he said “have not engaged in any improper or illegal behavior.” He said he would speak with Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki about the issue. Word of the trials came from Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, an ultra-conservative who is one of the most prominent figures in Iran’s clerical leadership and is close to the country’s supreme leader.

Russia to allow US arms shipments to Afghanistan Nataliya Vasilyeva THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOSCOW

Russian officials said Friday will allow the United States to ship weapons across its territory to Afghanistan, a long-sought move that bolsters U.S. military operations but potentially gives the Kremlin leverage over critical American supplies. The announcement by a top Kremlin aide came ahead of President Barack Obama’s visit to Moscow next week, when the deal is expected to be signed during a summit aimed at improving the nations’ strained relations. Russia’s concession on arms shipments also came as the Obama administration is shifting the U.S. military’s focus from Iraq to Afghanistan, where a massive American offensive is under way in Taliban-controlled areas of Helmand province. Russia has been allowing the United States to ship non-lethal supplies across its territory for operations in Afghanistan, and Kremlin officials had suggested further cooperation was likely.

Kremlin foreign policy adviser Sergei Prikhodko told reporters Friday that the expected deal would enable the U.S. to ship lethal cargo and would include shipments by air and land. He said it was unclear whether U.S. soldiers or other personnel would be permitted to travel through Russian territory or airspace. “They haven’t asked us for it,” he said. The typical supply route to landlocked Afghanistan via Pakistan has come under repeated Taliban attack, and the U.S. and NATO have been eager to have an alternate overland supply route through Russia and the Central Asian countries. Confirmation of such a deal appeared aimed at setting a constructive tone for the meetings between Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Monday and Tuesday. After years of increasing strain, both governments have expressed hope the summit will put ties between the former Cold War rivals back on track.

Vice president stresses that America wants to build partnership Kim Gamel

Vice President Joe Biden pressed Iraqi leaders Friday to do more to foster national reconciliation and offered U.S. assistance in achieving that, as concerns grow that a lack of political progress is fueling violence in Iraq. He stressed that America wanted to “build up” its partnership with Iraqi leaders even as it draws down its forces, starting with Tuesday’s deadline for pulling back combat troops from cities. But protesters in Baghdad’s main Shiite district of Sadr City demonstrated against his visit, burning an American flag and chanting anti-U.S. slogans after Friday prayers.

“Iraq has traveled a great distance over the past year, but there is a hard road ahead if Iraq is going to find lasting peace and stability.”

underscored the challenges facing the United States as it begins drawing down its military forces and losing its dominance in Iraq. “Iraq has traveled a great distance over the past year, but there is a hard road ahead if Iraq is going to find lasting peace and stability. It’s not over yet,” Biden said at a joint news conference after meeting with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Biden, who was making the three-day visit to Iraq after being

appointed to oversee the administration’s Iraq policy, said he came with a “clear message” of the U.S. commitment to Iraq’s success. “There are still political steps that must be taken and Iraqis must use the political process to resolve their remaining differences and advance their national interest,” he said. “We stand ready, if asked and if helpful, to help in that process.” The news conference was held in the same hall at al-Maliki’s ceremonial residence in which an Iraqi journalist threw his shoes at former President George W. Bush during his last visit to Baghdad in December. Biden arrived in Baghdad late Thursday for an unusually long visit that followed the withdrawal of all U.S. combat troops from Iraq’s cities and towns as part of a security agreement that will see all American soldiers out of the country by the end of 2011.

Honduras rejects appeal to restore Zelaya Organization of American States leader tries to persuade nation Will Weissert and Marcos Aleman THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TEGUCIGALPA, HONDURAS

Honduras’ Supreme Court rebuffed a personal appeal from the Americas’ top international diplomat Friday, refusing to restore ousted President Manuel Zelaya before a deadline today. Jose Miguel Insulza, who leads the Organization of American States, flew to Honduras in an attempt to persuade the forces that ousted Zelaya to take him back in the face of overwhelming international condemnation and economic sanctions. He met for two hours with Jorge Rivera, president of the

Supreme Court that authorized the military to seize Zelaya on Sunday and fly him into exile. “Insulza asked Honduras to reinstate Zelaya, but the president of the court categorically answered that there is an arrest warrant for him,” court spokesman Danilo Izaguirre said. “Now the OAS has to decide what it will do.” Insulza made no comments as he emerged from the meeting. He has said Honduras will be suspended from the organization, a move that could lead to further sanctions against one of the Americas’ poorest countries, unless Zelaya is restored by this morning. The OAS has called an emergency

meeting in Washington for this afternoon. Insulza had conceded before traveling to Honduras that his mission was unlikely to succeed, saying: “It will be very hard to turn things around in a couple of days.” “We are not going to Honduras to negotiate. We are going to Honduras to ask them to change what they have been doing,” he said. Insulza also was meeting with leaders of Congress, “basically to clarify exactly what our position is.” But he said he would not see Roberto Micheletti, whom Congress named president after Zelaya’s ouster, in order to avoid legitimizing the government.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon could leave Myanmar empty-handed after apparently failing to win any concessions Friday from the country’s top military ruler or to gain permission to visit opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi in jail. Ban talked for two hours with reclusive Senior Gen. Than Shwe Ban in an ornate reception hall — complete with an indoor waterfall — in Naypyitaw, the junta’s remote, newly built capital. It was a rocky start to what the U.N. chief predicted would be “a very tough mission” to

win freedom for Aung San Suu Kyi (pronounced ong sahn SUE CHEE), the 64-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate who has been detained by the junta for nearly 14 of the past 20 years and is now on trial charged with violating her house arrest. The U.N. chief will press again today in another private meeting, a U.N. spokeswoman said. He also will continue to seek various other reforms that include democratization, fair elections, economic cooperation and freedom for her and all other political prisoners. Ban emerged from Friday’s meeting saying he still hoped to meet Suu Kyi before he leaves the country tonight. “I told him that I wanted to meet her, but he told me that she is (on) trial,” Ban told reporters after meeting with Than Shwe. “But I told him that this is my

proposal, and this is important, and I’m waiting for their reply.” It was Ban’s second visit to Myanmar since Cyclone Nargis devastated much of the country last year. His first visit managed to persuade the military government to ease access for hundreds of foreign aid workers who had been restricted from entering cyclone-affected areas. He also oversaw a conference that raised up to $150 million in emergency relief funds. However, the U.N. has been unable to budge the junta on its refusal to free its estimated 2,100 political prisoners, including Suu Kyi. Shortly after the U.N. chief arrived Friday, the court presiding over Suu Kyi’s widely criticized trial announced an adjournment until July 10. The trial had been set to resume after a monthlong delay.

As swine flu runs rampant in the Southern Hemisphere winter, world health experts are concerned that some hard-hit countries have been reluctant to take forceful measures to protect public health. Only Friday did Argentina’s new health minister, Juan Manzur, raise the country’s official death toll to 44. He now estimates that as many as 320,000 people have been stricken with influenza, including about 100,000 with swine flu — a huge jump in what the government acknowledged previously, and an indication that Argentina’s hospitals will remain overwhelmed for months.

��

Britain, for its part, had refused to do widespread testing for swine flu, slowing the World Health Organization’s efforts to declare that the viral spread had become a pandemic. Britain’s Health Minister Andy Burnham belatedly acknowledged Thursday that Britain needs to revamp its response and could see as many as 100,000 new swine flu cases a day by the end of August. The government was reluctant to implement unpopular measures leading up to Sunday’s midterm elections in Argentina. Now that they’re over, it ramped up its response this week — doubling the winter vacation to a month for schools nationwide, sending pregnant women and other vulnerable workers home for 15 days and

urging people to avoid crowds whenever possible. But Argentina still refuses to declare a national public health emergency, despite ranking third in the world for swine flu deaths behind the United States and Mexico. “An unfortunate situation in Argentina was this mix of elections and a pandemic, which we epidemiologists don’t recommend,” said Mirta Roses, director of the Pan American Health Organization, which has 25 experts working in Argentina this week. Mexico, in contrast, deserves the whole world’s thanks for its forceful, costly and very public response, which included a neartotal shutdown of the nation’s public life that cost the country $3.5 billion.

The left-hander, known more as a strikeout pitcher, got 14 groundball outs. De La Rosa’s biggest out of the game came when Gerardo Parra hit a slow roller to shortstop Troy Tulowitzki with two outs and the bases loaded in the sixth. Colorado’s starting pitching has been so effective of late, the bullpen hasn’t received much work. Joel Peralta got two outs in the ninth, then gave way to Huston Street in a nonsave situation. The bullpen has thrown one inning in the past three games. Max Scherzer (5-6) allowed six hits during six innings as the Diamondbacks lost for the eighth time in nine games. The Diamondbacks had three more errors, running their season total to a major leagueleading 74. It almost was a comedy of errors as Parra overthrew second on a play in the fifth, while Chris Young simply took his eyes off Stewart’s routine flyball in the sixth, the ball grazing his glove before landing in center field. Later in the inning, Luke Carlin threw to second on Stewart’s steal attempt, only to find no one covering the bag. The ball bounced into center as Stewart took third. Carlin originally was credited with the error, but the official scorer later gave it to shortstop Augie Ojeda.

Venus Williams is just about the perfect older sibling: She supports Serena endlessly, protects her fiercely and even lets her pick which bedroom she wants when they’re on the road. Where does Venus draw the line? At Grand Slam championships. The sisters face each other again in a major final, meeting today for the Wimbledon title for the fourth time. “I’m happy for her to be in the final, but I have to face her and defeat her,” Venus said after reaching her eighth final at the All England Club by routing top-ranked Dinara Safina, 6-1, 6-0. “I don’t necessarily want her to lose, but for sure I want me to win.” After their showdown, the sisters become teammates for the doubles final, where they are the defending champions. Besides having won five Wimbledon singles titles, beating Serena in last year’s final, Venus is trying to become the first woman to win three straight championships since Steffi Graf from 1991-93. “Even if she’s not playing her best, just that fight she has, you’re facing that,” Venus said.

Venus Williams

Serena Williams

“So there’s so much to face when you play her. It’s definitely a lot to get your mind around.” Serena showed her fight Friday, saving a match point against Elena Dementieva before winning, 6-7 (4), 7-5, 8-6. The match, longer by time than any Wimbledon women’s semifinal or final on record, was one of the most exciting of this year’s tournament. But if that was tough, wait until Serena faces an opponent that has won 20 consecutive matches on Wimbledon’s manicured lawns, the last 17 in straight sets. “You know, it’s not the easiest opponent on grass,” Serena said. “I hope I win. Obviously, if I do, I’ll be really, really excited. So we’ll see.” Off the court, the sisters often share an apartment for Wimbledon, and sibling rivalry doesn’t really come into play when it comes to choosing the

better room. “I always defer. She picks first,” said Venus, noting that back home in Florida, their rooms are the same size. “It makes me happy. You know, I want her to pick.” On the court, things get more intense when they’re on opposite sides of the net. “I feel very calm, actually,” said Venus, who is 2-5 against Serena in Grand Slam finals. “But, of course, I’m going to bring the tough feet to the court.” For Serena, it’s just more of the same. “We’re used to being in this position now, so we pretty much have it down,” Serena said Friday after she and Venus beat top-seeded Cara Black and Liezel Huber, 6-1, 6-2, to reach Saturday’s doubles final, where they will face Samantha Stosur and Rennae Stubbs. But even though Serena beat Venus in the 2002 and ’03 Wimbledon singles finals, she already feels like the underdog against a player trying to win her sixth Venus Rosewater Dish. “I feel like going into this final, I have nothing to lose,” said Serena, who is 27 years old, two years younger than Venus. “I feel like obviously she’s playing the best tennis at this tournament.”

Tiger Woods moves into lead GOLF — AT&T NATIONAL

BETHESDA, MD.

The best of Tiger Woods came Friday when his game was falling apart. Woods lived up to his hopes of being a “greedy host” when he salvaged his round during a shaky stretch in the middle and shot 4under 66 to take a one-shot lead at his AT&T National with the lowest 36-hole score ever Woods at Congressional Country Club. “Either I hit it pretty close to the hole, within 10 feet, or I was missing greens,” Woods said. “So it was a little bit of two ends today. It was nice to actually get a score out of it.” Woods was at 10-under 130, breaking by one shot the previous 36-hole score at Congressional set last year by Tom Pernice Jr. and Jeff Overton. Woods had a one-shot lead past Rod Pampling, who

had a 64 to boost his chances of qualifying for the British Open. Defending champion Anthony Kim couldn’t build on his course-record 62 from the opening round. He played in the afternoon, after Woods set the target, and caught him briefly before missing too many fairways and having to settle for a 70 that put him two behind. Jim Furyk, adding more star power to the leaderboard, had a 67 and was alone in fourth. Perhaps more daunting than Woods’ record 36-hole score is his record on the PGA Tour when he has at least a share of the 36-hole lead. He is 31-6, having won the past 11 times from that spot dating to 2004 at the Byron Nelson Championship. Although some of the birdies were pure, such as 5-iron within 4 feet of a tucked flag on the 13th, it was his worst golf that showed why Woods contends as often as he does. He twice hit tee shots into the rough and couldn’t get to the

green. Another tee shot went into the bunker. He missed the green at a par 3 on the wrong side of the hole. From the middle of the fairway, he hit a miserable shot into a hollow of thick grass. Woods played that five-hole stretch in 1 under. “That’s why the guy is at such a high level,” said U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover, who played with Woods and shot 66 to join the group at 5-under 135. “When things are going bad, he can rely on his short game. He just doesn’t waste any shots. If he’s losing shots, it’s because of a bad break or a bad lie.” There were ample opportunities to fall back. Unable to reach the 17th green from a thick lie in the rough, Woods holed a 6-foot par putt. He pushed his 3-wood into the right rough on the 18th and had to punch under some limbs and let the ball roll toward the green, but not too far because of water all around it. He putted from off the green 70 feet away and knocked in a 5-footer for par.

Tour ready for start with Armstrong CYCLING

MONACO

The Tour de France is ready for another edition with Lance Armstrong, and Saturday’s opening stage may show whether he’s ready to challenge for another title. Armstrong’s 37year-old legs will be tested immediately when the three-week race begins with a 9.6mile time trial. Armstrong The stage will be run along the hilly streets and hairpin turns of Monaco, a Mediterranean principality better known for Formula One

than for huffing two-wheelers. The ride likely will offer an early shakeout of potential contenders who want to at least hold their own in the race against the clock. Specialists in the discipline include Fabian Cancellara, of Switzerland, who won gold in the time trial at the Beijing Olympics, and Bradley Wiggins of Britain. They could capture the leader’s yellow jersey, though they aren’t expected to fare as well when the race reaches the Pyrenees in Stage 7. Title contenders to watch Saturday include Cadel Evans, of Australia, Denis Menchov, of Russia and 2007

champion Alberto Contador, of Spain, for whom the course is almost tailor-made because of its hills. The main race favorites — except Armstrong and American teammate Levi Leipheimer — will start last as the 180 riders set off one by one. Defending champion Carlos Sastre, of Spain, wearing the yellow jersey and No. 1 bib, will go last. Armstrong asked to be the first Astana rider to go. He’ll ride 18th, nearly three hours before Sastre — time enough for weather conditions to change. Armstrong used to be an expert time trialer, and part of the suspense will be seeing whether he’s slowed with the years.

Federer has reached 16 of 17 past finals Federer continued from 31 with that Sampraslike leaping putaway, Federer simply waited at the net to shake hands. Then, he gave a little wave of his racket in the direction of his pregnant wife, his parents and other supporters in the guest seats above a scoreboard, before making the same gesture toward the Royal Box, where past greats of the game Bjorn Borg and Rod Laver were among the invited guests. Winning a Wimbledon semifinal — indeed, any Grand Slam semifinal — is all so very beenthere, done-that for Federer: He

is 20-3 in major semis during his career, reaching 16 of the past 17 major finals. “I know what’s on the line,” Federer said. “I hope I can play another good match.” His previous match against Haas, on June 1 in the fourth round of the French Open, was much tighter. Haas won the first two sets that day — drew within five points of victory, even — before Federer came back en route to winning the title at Roland Garros to complete a career Grand Slam and tie Sampras with 14 Grand Slam championships. This time, Federer was quite

close to perfect. He won a remarkable 72 of 83 points on his serve, did not face a single break point and finished with 49 winners and only 15 unforced errors. “You know, that’s the way it goes playing against him,” Haas said. “There aren’t really any weaknesses.” Roddick celebrated rather emotionally after finishing off No. 3 Andy Murray, of Britain, 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (7), 7-6 (5), in Friday’s second semifinal. The 2003 U.S. Open champion, still seeking a second major title, dropped to his knees, leaned forward and covered his head with his hands.
