Clarification Friends of Brian Stothart, the Steamboat Springs man who has been missing since a boating accident on the Encampment River in Wyoming since June 13, are the ones who recovered Stothart’s helmet and shoe. A brief titled “Steamboat resident Brian Stothart still missing” on page 11 of Tuesday’s Steamboat Today incorrectly stated who found Stothart’s gear.

Longtime Hayden resident Ann Copeland was killed Thursday night when her fourwheeler rolled. According to the Rio Blanco County Sheriff’s Office, Copeland went out to spray weeds. Her husband, Kevin Copeland, went to look for her when she didn’t return. He found her where the wreck occurred in Rio Blanco County, on the Copelands’

Hayden resident Judy Green said. Copeland’s mother is Pat Holderness, and her father is Wes Signs. “On both sides of her family the roots run really, really deep in this country,” Green said. She described Ann Copeland as strong and self-confident. “I first met Ann when I was substitute teaching in 1980 when Ann was still in high school, and of course, my husband’s family knew her family, and she was just a vivacious, outstanding individual,” Green said.

Copeland was active across the community and helped start the Hayden Marketplace where she sold homemade jewelry alongside other artisans. Copeland also worked at Yampa Valley Regional Airport for 21 years, retiring in 2007. Copeland attended the airport’s grand opening in 1966, and her grandparents, Rosella and Ernest Signs, were on the maiden Frontier Airlines flight at YVRA. They were given VIP See Copeland, page 14

Steamboat’s 1st building boom Editor’s Note: Tom Ross is on vacation. This column originally was published July 31, 2007, and has been updated for clarity.

ews flash! Lincoln Avenue and Steamboat Springs undergo an unprecedented building boom. But it’s not what you think. I’m talking about the building boom of 1909. That was the year the Moffat Railroad finally pulled into Steamboat and the new connection to the world on the other side of the Rocky Mountains touched off a growth spurt. No fewer than 36 new homes were built. The new frame homes must have been disquieting longtime locals who still were living in affordable log cabins. The corresponding population growth even led to construction of a three-story school building. The reality of seeing the first railroad car full of cattle shipped out in January, followed by a shipment of sheep in September, signaled a boom in commercial con-

struction, if not outright real estate speculation. The handsome red brick Maxwell Building already was standing in 1909, and by March the post office had relocated there. Naturally, a handsome new railroad depot valued at $15,000 was undertaken. However, the depot was far from being the grandest of the construction projects. A new 100-room hotel was valued at $50,000. And because the railroad meant visitors would be able to travel here with relative ease, Steamboat’s future as a spa town was apparent to everyone. The forward-looking residents glimpsed a new future when tourists might come to visit and invested another $50,000 in the construction of a new bath house and swimming pools at the geother-

mally heated Bathouse Spring. The new building replaced the old A-frame building constructed by James Crawford in 1889. Could that have been Steamboat’s first redevelopment project? Before the first snows arrived on Storm Mountain in September, Steamboat Springs even had a sewer district. Indoor privies — woohoo! Automobile traffic could not have been much of an issue along the dirt main street called Lincoln Avenue. After all, Model T Fords first began rolling off assembly lines in 1908. However, you can bet that all that construction commotion probably caused a lot of horses to bolt with buggies trailing behind. I probably would not be able to share these details with you were it not for the determination of the late Steamboat Pilot editor Dee Richards, who died June 10, 2007. In January 1976, Dee published a 227-page book with former publisher Chuck See Ross, page 11

City seeks finance director 3 finalists evaluated; decision possible next week Brandon Gee

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The city of Steamboat Springs is closing in on the hiring of a new finance director, at a time when declining revenues and budget cuts have made the city’s coffers a principal concern. City Manager Jon Roberts said Friday that three finalists for the position were interviewed this week. An interview panel will reconvene early next week to discuss the finalists, compare notes, “and see if we have a candidate to offer the job to,” Roberts said. Whoever the city hires will fill what has become a turbulent position in the city and become the city’s third finance director in about two years. Lisa Rolan held the position from March 2008 until she resigned in December. Before Rolan’s hiring, the position had been open since former Finance Director Don Taylor was let go by former City Manager Alan Lanning in July 2007. Assistant Finance Director Bob Litzau has served as interim finance director.

The annual Pioneer Picnic, scheduled for Sunday at Phippsburg’s town park, is a tradition that brings old-timers and old-lineage families together to reminisce. Carol Villa, vice president of the Historical Society of Oak Creek and Phippsburg, said the event also brings together people who may have not reconnected in years. “It’s just a good time for everybody to catch up with people they haven’t seen in a while and tell stories from when they were young,” she said. Linda Long’s family can be called one of the true pioneering groups, moving to the Yampa Valley as early as 1886. There now are six generations of Long’s family, including Long’s

Gene Sanders will provide music, and Villa said everybody will have a chance to enter a raffle for a community-made quilt, constructed one 9-inch square at a time by volunteers with the Historical Society. The theme of the quilt is a garden with flowers dominating the design. Tickets are $5 for six tickets or $1 apiece. The event will take place inside a large tent erected in the park, and Villa said organizers plan to keep it at the Phippsburg park, rain or shine. Long will provide roast beef for the potluck picnic, and attendees are asked to bring a covered dish, salad or dessert to share. Families also should bring their own table service.

COMMENTARY

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

The stimulus trap Paul D. Krugman THE NEW YORK TIMES

As soon as the Obama administration-in-waiting announced its stimulus plan — this was before Inauguration Day — some of us worried that the plan would prove inadequate. We also worried that it might be hard, as a political matter, to come back for another round. Unfortunately, those worries have proved justified. The bad employment report for June made it clear that the stimulus was, Krugman indeed, too small. But it also damaged the credibility of the administration’s economic stewardship. There’s now a real risk that President Barack Obama will find himself caught in a political-economic trap. I’ll talk about that trap, and how he can escape it, in a moment. First, however, let me step back and ask how con-

cerned citizens should be reacting to the disappointing economic news. Should we be patient and give the Obama plan time to work? Should we call for bigger, bolder actions? Or should we declare the plan a failure and demand that the administration call the whole thing off? Before you answer, consider what happens in normal times. When there’s an ordinary, gardenvariety recession, the job of fighting that recession is assigned to the Federal Reserve. The Fed responds by cutting interest rates in an incremental fashion. Reducing rates a bit at a time, it keeps cutting until the economy turns around. At times, it pauses to assess the effects of its work; if the economy still is weak, the cutting resumes. During the last recession, the Fed repeatedly cut rates as the slump deepened — 11 times during the course of 2001. Then, amid early signs of recovery, it paused, giving the rate cuts time to work. When it became clear that the economy

still wasn’t growing fast enough to create jobs, more rate cuts followed. Normally, then, we expect policymakers to respond to bad job numbers with a combination of patience and resolve. They should give existing policies time to work, but they also should consider making those policies stronger. And that’s what the Obama administration should be doing right now with its fiscal stimulus. (It’s important to remember that the stimulus was necessary because the Fed, having cut rates all the way to zero, has run out of ammunition to fight this slump.) That is, policymakers should stay calm in the face of disappointing early results, recognizing that the plan will take time to deliver its full benefit. But they also should be prepared to add to the stimulus now that it’s clear that the first round wasn’t big enough. Unfortunately, the politics of fiscal policy are very different from the politics See Krugman, page 9

Not such a simple solution after all Mary Sanchez

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

For a moment this week, it looked like a bit of sanity might be restored to federal policy on illegal immigration. The Obama administration announced plans to discontinue a Bush-era rule that sought to force employers to fire workers whose Social Security numbers didn’t match up with records in federal databases. The reason for the reversal? Those databases are riddled with too many Sanchez errors. But the Senate wasn’t about to be seen as so coddling of illegal folks. By a voice vote, it passed an amendment offered by Sen. David Vitter, R-La., that would reinstate the Bush policy, which is known as the “no-match” rule. Like the no-match rule, the Vitter amend-

MALLARD FILLMORE

ment requires employers to fire workers who couldn’t resolve such discrepancies within 90 days, even if they are based on screwed-up record keeping. In theory, a no-match rule sounds simple and reasonable enough. An employer files information through W-2 forms, the government checks such information with its records, and if there’s a mismatch — say, the name doesn’t match the number — the Social Security Administration sends a letter to the employer. If the employee can’t account for the mismatch in 90 days, he’s gone. According to the Office of the Inspector General of the SSA, there are almost 18 million discrepancies in SSA’s database, and more than 70 percent of them are in the records of native-born U.S. citizens. In other words, the idea that employers simply could plug into a federal database and check to see whether a particular number was valid was flawed from the

get-go. But that hasn’t stopped some politicians from continuing to push the idea. The Obama administration succumbed to those wishes by keeping in place a similar program for federal contractors. It basically has them check SSA records, as well as immigration records. Yes, that’s another program built on flawed data. If expanded, as some desire, the SSA’s own estimates suggest that expanding the policy to cover all employers would mean that 11,000 U.S. citizens a day would be misidentified as being ineligible for work. Somehow, I don’t think members of Congress would appreciate the flood of calls those voters would place to Capitol Hill. As it happens, in 2007 a federal court blocked the no-match program in response to lawsuits charging that it would put workers with legal status at risk of losing their jobs and encourage See Sanchez, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

Obama needs to level with American people of monetary policy. For the past 30 years, we’ve been told that government spending is bad, and conservative opposition to fiscal stimulus (which might make people think better of government) has been bitter and unrelenting, even in the face of the worst slump since the Great Depression. Predictably, then, Republicans — and some Democrats — have treated any bad news as evidence of failure, rather than as a reason to make the policy stronger. Hence the danger that the Obama administration will find itself caught in a political-economic trap, in which the very weakness of the economy undermines the administration’s ability to respond effectively.

It’s perfectly OK for the administration to defend what it’s done so far. It’s fine to have Vice President Joe Biden touring the country, highlighting the many good things the stimulus money is doing. It’s also reasonable for administration economists to call for patience, and point out, correctly, that the stimulus never was expected to have its full impact this summer or even this year. But there’s a difference between defending what you’ve done so far and being defensive. It was disturbing when Obama walked back Biden’s admission that the administration “misread” the economy, declaring that “there’s nothing we would have done differently.” There was a whiff of the Bush infal-

libility complex in that remark, a hint that the current administration might share some of its predecessor’s inability to admit mistakes. And that’s an attitude neither Obama nor the country can afford. What Obama needs to do is level with the American people. He needs to admit that he may not have done enough on the first try. He needs to remind the country that he’s trying to steer the country through a severe economic storm and that some course adjustments — including, quite possibly, another round of stimulus — may be necessary. What he needs, in short, is to do for economic policy what he’s already done for race relations and foreign policy — talk to Americans like adults.

Federal record-keeping needs to be improved Sanchez continued from 8 discrimination on the part of employers. Some employers, it was discovered, were turning away anyone who appeared “foreign” simply as a way to avoid a messy no-match problem with a potential employee. There have been other unintended consequences to the crackdown on fake Social Security numbers. It compelled many illegal immigrants to look for ways to use a name and number that matched — in other words, to engage in identity theft.

Identity theft is no joke. And, obviously, the government cannot turn a blind eye to illegal immigrants, who are estimated to number as many as 12 million. But as Congress readies itself for the brawl that will surround immigration reform, their efforts would best be focused on attacking illegal immigration from the other direction — the pipeline — rather than working backwards to rid the nation of people already illegally living here. Our federal agencies’ recordkeeping also clearly has to be

cleaned up. But it’s probable that flawed records never will be entirely purged, and so U.S. citizens will continue to be ensnared in bureaucratic difficulties whenever they change jobs. In their haste to “do something” about illegal immigration, senators have shown how unserious they are about actually addressing the problems at the heart of our immigration policy. Sounding tough on illegal immigrants may feel good in D.C., but when citizens back home become embroiled in the mess, you can bet a backlash will come.

Ross continued from 2 Leckenby entitled “Steamboat Round the Bend.” Make no mistake, Dee was the researcher, photo editor and author. The history book never would have been completed without Leckenby’s support. It was undertaken to commemorate the 100th anniversary (in 1975) of the arrival of the Crawford family, the first European settlers. They built their cabin just downstream from the big bend in the Yampa River where its course shifts from a generally northerly flow, due west for its confluence with the mighty Green River. Hence, the name of the book. Dee’s book, long out of print, is the definitive historical treatise on the rise of Western civilization in this frontier outpost and devotes several pages to the building boom of 1909. You can review a copy of the book at Bud Werner Memorial Library. The year 1909 was a challenging year for the Steamboat Pilot — its building burned down with the Whipple stage barn May 5. The stage barn never was to be rebuilt, but the newspaper already had moved into a new building by Dec. 1. As the year drew to a close, a prosperous future for Steamboat seemed assured. After all, the building boom had boosted Milner Bank deposits to $200,000.

Bustad in physical therapy Craig resident transported to Denver after motorcycle accident Collin Smith

CRAIG DAILY PRESS

CRAIG

It’s important to stay positive, Lyn Cox said. When your son-in-law is in physical therapy in Denver after a serious motorcycle accident, and the doctors say it’s likely he won’t walk again, staying positive is the most important thing. “There is that little bit of chance we’re holding out for,” Cox said about her daughter’s husband, Ricky Bustad, who

lost control of his motorcycle May 11 near Hayden and ran off the side of U.S. Highway 40. “He is paralyzed from the nipples down,” she said. “He’s very persistent, though. He has full movement of his arms and hands. He’s just got a little ways to go, yet. They’re hoping to be able to take his feeding tube out. We’re hoping within a week.” As horrible as the accident has been, Cox said it has shown her a new side of the community, one that she is

grateful to know. “Until you go through something so devastating, you have no idea how wonderful people in Craig can be,” she said. “It has been amazing. People here have been amazing.” Multiple fundraising efforts are ongoing. Family friends set up a donation account for Bustad in May at Bank of the West, 139 E. Victory Way, where people can contribute to the family by depositing money into an account in his name.

City has made massive budget cuts this year Finance continued from 3 Roberts said he is “looking for somebody who obviously is very qualified with a rocksolid background in municipal finance” and somebody who can innovatively and enthusiastically confront the city’s budget challenges. Although the city has frozen other open positions and shrunk some departments, Roberts said the finance director position is too important to leave open. He also said the job market is working in the city’s favor. “We think it’s a good opportunity to be in the market looking for unique skills and innovation,” Roberts said. In a departure from recent

city practice, Roberts said he handled this hiring process inhouse rather than contracting with an executive search firm. The interview panel includes a local banker and three members of the city’s management team, including himself, Roberts said. Steamboat Springs City Council members were invited to participate but said they were comfortable letting Roberts handle the recruitment process. Roberts said the position was advertised in professional publications “that anyone in municipal finance would review.” City Council President Loui Antonucci said the economy and sales tax revenues are “the biggest thing facing us.”

Sales tax collections in Steamboat decreased by 5 percent in April from the previous year, and year-to-date sales taxes are down 16.4 percent in Steamboat this year compared with 2008. The city made massive budget cuts this year that included a furlough program that has seen city employees’ pay and hours cut 10 percent. Also, Litzau said last month that the city is looking to cut an additional 10 percent, or about $2 million, from its 2010 general fund budget; that’s on top of a revised 2009 general fund budget that already has been cut about 13 percent from 2008.

treatment because they had sold their land to Routt County so the airport could be built. Copeland served as terminal and operations manager before leaving YVRA. Copeland started in 1986, working mostly as a baggage handler for American Airlines. “I think Ann’s one of those larger-than-life personalities,” Airport Manager Dave Ruppel said. “She was a huge part of the airport scene out here for a lot of years, both with the airlines and then with the airport just about the time that I got here a few years back. She was hugely involved with getting things going on the initial expansions to the terminal and kind of watching over that project.” She also stayed involved in Hayden life. If anything big was going on in the community, Copeland was in the middle of it, Ruppel said.

“All of our thoughts and prayers go out to Kevin and the Copeland family on their loss,” Ruppel said in an e-mail. Town Manager Russ Martin said he’s worked closely with Ann and Kevin Copeland. “They’re just great people,” he said, “so I really feel for him and the whole family having to deal with that. And Wes and Pat are huge with this community, always have been, and to lose a daughter, that’s pretty devastating. The community lost a big one.” Copeland always was ready with a smile and a joke, Martin said. She worked toward revitalizing downtown and improving Hayden. “She was important to me, and I’m sure as important to me and everybody else as you could find in Hayden,” Martin said. Hayden resident Tammie Delaney also noted that Copeland kept her finger on the town’s pulse. “She’s going to leave a huge

gap,” Delaney said. Copeland was “very involved in everything from the Farmers Market to the Hayden Marketplace, you name it. She’s one of those people who if she said she was getting involved, you were excited because she’d make it happen.” Ann Copeland also enjoyed the outdoors, Judy Green said. Ann and Kevin Copeland leased and led llamas on pack trips in the Flat Tops. Their ranch is on Routt County Road 19, about 28 miles from Hayden. Judy and Jerry Green live in Routt County south of Hayden, not far from the Copelands. “She loved the mountains, loved backpacking and trekking back in the forest and wilderness with her llamas,” Judy Green said. Copeland’s influence spread across her hometown, she said. She was “such a force in this community, an underlying, supportive force in this community,” Green said.

Author to cover big box stores Mitchell to discuss large retail companies in Silverthorne SUMMIT COUNTY

For many years, national retailers have said their big box stores bring in jobs and tax revenue. On Monday, author Stacy Mitchell will make the case that such retailers haven’t lived up to their promises, and in some cases, actually may hurt local economies. “When it comes to the economic promise of big retailers ... they haven’t really delivered,” Mitchell said. Mitchell, a senior researcher with the Institute for Local SelfReliance and author of the book “Big-Box Swindle,” will speak at the Silverthorne Pavilion at 7

What: Stacy Mitchell, a senior researcher with the Institute for Local Self-Reliance and author of the book “Big-Box Swindle,” will speak When: 7 p.m. Monday Where: Silverthorne Pavilion

p.m. Monday. The presentation is being put on by the Summit Independent Business Alliance, High Country Conservation Center and Our Future Summit. “I think we’re looking for some new ideas and some insight into how to support the local business community,” said Howard Hallman, president of Our Future Summit and one of the events moderators. “We’re not trying

to promote a particular point of view, we’re trying to increase awareness and constructive dialogue.” Mitchell said she’s going to be talking about many of the “hidden costs” of chain retailers and what communities can do to support local business. “As consumers, we tend to focus on price,” Mitchell said. “What I think we’re missing is that stores like Wal-Mart, Home Depot and Target have lowered incomes more than they’ve lowered prices.” By way of example, Mitchell said “tens of thousands” of small business owners and 3 million manufacturing jobs have been lost in the U.S. since 1990.

Aspen hospital officials ask that women redo mammogram exams THE ASPEN TIMES

ASPEN

More than 100 patients who have had mammograms at Aspen Valley Hospital in the past year are being called back in for a second screening, raising concerns among some people that the original diagnosis was inaccurate. But AVH officials say the “over-reads” are routine and part of an audit being conducted by Invision Sally Jobe Breast Network to gain a formal affiliation with the hospital. “They want to make sure we are doing it up to their standards,” said Elaine Gerson, the

administrator of ancillary services at AVH. “Call-backs are a natural part of any mammography service, and we are doing our due diligence.” Some patients said they were surprised and nervous when they recently were contacted by their physicians and informed that they must return for a second mammogram, even though their first one was normal several months ago. AVH has contracted with Radiology Imaging Associates to offer imaging services to patients for the past 10 years. Invision Sally Jobe is owned by RIA and is the organization that is leading the call-back effort at AVH.

An AVH patient said an assistant to Dr. Mindy Nagle told her June 26 that she needed to go to the hospital on the upcoming Monday for a second mammogram. Her original mammogram was done in September. “It was just weird the way she said it ... she said there were a lot of changes at the hospital and Dr. Hollander was no longer there,” the woman said. “There was something that really didn’t feel right.

Rain helps state with wheat

��

Department of Agriculture says spring weather may improve harvest Catherine Tsai

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ROGGEN

��

��

20491439

��

U.S. winter wheat production is expected to be down 18 percent from last year, but plenty of spring rain in Colorado could give the state one of its best harvests in years, according to a forecast Friday from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The National Agricultural Statistics Service said Friday it expects production of 1.52 billion bushels nationwide, up 2 percent from the forecast last month but down 18 percent from 2008. The Colorado harvest is projected at 88.8 million bushels, up 10 percent from the forecast a month ago. Colorado Wheat Administrative Committee exec-

utive director Darrell Hanavan predicts the Colorado harvest could reach 91 million bushels. If the USDA forecasts are correct, Colorado would vault up to having the third-highest winter wheat production in the country — behind No. 1 Kansas and Washington state, now ranked second — after drought and freezes hurt harvests in Texas and Oklahoma. Colorado was 10th last year. Colorado producers just hope no hail falls before they can finish cutting wheat. “If the weather holds, this will be our best crop in 10 years,” said Jerry Cooksey, of Cooksey Farms near Roggen, about 45 miles east of Denver. The forecast for Colorado winter wheat isn’t a record, but it tops

the 57 million bushels harvested last year and the drought-influenced, 10-year average annual production of 64 million bushels. Many farmers in the dry, southeast corner of the state are wrapping up their harvests. But in the northeast, the past few weeks have been so wet that some fields haven’t been cut yet. Cooksey Farms’ combines started cutting wheat this week. It takes the Cookseys and a few hired helpers two to three weeks of dry weather to harvest about 4,000 acres, between managing a cow-calf operation and tending to other crops. “Every second counts,” said Cooksey’s wife, Damaris. “It’s a two- to three-week harvest. If the weather doesn’t let you cut, you’re letting income sit in the field.”

DeGette pursues study on ‘fracking’ ��

US representative seeks to gather more data on drilling process

U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette is moving ahead with her bill to put a widely used oil and gas drilling process under federal oversight while also seeking a study to gather more data on the practice. The Colorado Democrat is sponsoring a bill that would repeal a ban on regulating hydraulic fracturing under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. The 2005 energy bill exempted the process, also called “fracking,” from federal oversight. The bill, also sponsored by Rep. Maurice Hinchey, D-N.Y., is being vigorously opposed by industry groups, which say the

technology is used to drill the majority of the country’s oil and gas wells and is crucial to energy development. The industry says claims that fracking threatens groundwater are unsubstantiated. The process injects liquids, sand and chemicals underground to force open channels in tight sand and rock formations so that oil and gas will flow. The industry says fracking is crucial to producing gas from the tight sands of the Rockies, as well as gas shale reserves such as the Marcellus Shale that underlies much of New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter entered the debate Thursday when he said in a speech at

the Colorado Oil and Gas Association’s annual conference that he has asked DeGette to consider a comprehensive study “instead of jumping directly to a new and potentially intrusive regulatory program.” Kristofer Eisenla, DeGette’s spokesman, said the congresswoman has talked to Ritter as well as to industry representatives. She is talking to the Environmental Protection Agency about studying fracking. That doesn’t mean DeGette isn’t pursuing the legislation, Eisenla said. “She’s not backing off,” Eisenla said, “but she does believe more data is necessary.” DeGette is trying to schedule a hearing on her bill, he added.

Tweets allowed in murder case THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOULDER

A prosecutor in Boulder County has been cleared to use Twitter to post updates during an upcoming murder trial. District Attorney Stan Garnett has permission to use the social networking site during this month’s trial of Kevin Elmarr, who is accused of killing his ex-wife 22 years ago. Elmarr’s attorney, Kristin Johnson, asked a judge in pretrial motions to extend the court’s ban on electronic devices to the prosecutor himself. But District Judge James Klein disagreed, saying the defense’s worry that Garnett would use Twitter to pack the courtroom was unfounded. The prosecutor also used Twitter during a murder trial last month.

Gov. Ritter steers stimulus money to ex-employer DENVER

Gov. Bill Ritter has awarded some of the state’s first stimulus money to his former employer in a no-bid contract. Ritter hired his former law firm, Washington-based Hogan & Hartson, in a no-bid contract to review stimulus spend-

AROUND COLORADO ing, The Denver Post reported Friday. It said the firm was paid $40,000 in stimulus money through June. Aides to the governor insisted the contract was properly awarded after they received approval from Attorney General John Suthers. Geoff Blue, a spokesman for Suthers, said an attorney for Ritter never asked whether there was a conflict of interest. Ritter worked for the Denver office of Hogan & Hartson in 2005, leaving the following year when he ran for governor. The law firm has about 1,300 lawyers across the country and specializes in public finance, real estate, white-collar litigation and environmental and governmental regulation.

22 neglected horses seized in Fremont; owner charged CAÑON CITY

Reports of neglected horses at a private ranch in Cañon City led authorities to seize 22 of them and charge their owner with animal cruelty. The horses were seized Tuesday in Cañon City after

Most of them have been picked up by the Ruby Ranch Horse Rescue along with the Front Range Equine Rescue. Rescuers say many of the animals are emaciated or have untreated injuries.

Denver Zoo announces birth of rare African animal

��

DENVER

A rare African animal once mistaken for a unicorn has been born at the Denver Zoo. Zoo officials have announced the birth of a healthy female okapi, which exists in the wild only in Congo. The animal is a relative of the giraffe but has zebra-like stripes on its legs and rear. The species was unknown to European scientists until a century ago. It is thought to have inspired claims of unicorn sightings by Victorian-era explorers. The shy animal wasn’t captured on film in the wild until last year. Scientists fear the okapi could become extinct in the wild because of poaching and armed conflict in Congo.

Even after emerging from bankruptcy protection, the new General Motors still faces some of the same troubles that haunted the old one, which piled up more than $80 billion in losses during the past four years and still needs government aid to survive. So how does a company that has not made money since 2004 get back to turning a profit? The top five things GM needs to do to be successful: ■ Win back customers from Toyota and other competitors by making cars that are more reliable than rival brands. What the experts say: Many people will forgo style for reliability because they don’t want to worry about costly repairs, said David Champion, director of automotive testing for Consumer

Reports magazine. ■ Raise gas mileage on every vehicle and bring out electric cars. Why it’s important: Experts agree that gas prices will stay volatile. Supply is limited, and when the world economy recovers, demand will increase. That means a possible return to $4-agallon gasoline. ■ Draw younger buyers into showrooms. What the experts say: Wolconowicz said GM was right to bring back Bob Lutz, the legendary industry executive and auto designer who will head the creative elements of GM’s products and marketing. Said Brauer: “The Escalade kind of reacquainted a younger generation with Cadillac. That was the young, rich, hip person’s car. They need to appeal to more than that.”

■ Cut GM’s bureaucracy so it can make quick decisions in response to market shifts. What the experts say: GM’s bureaucracy and top-down culture have created a risk-averse atmosphere in which people are afraid to fail, said Robert Wiseman, a professor who specializes in corporate governance at the Eli Broad College of Business at Michigan State University. Henderson has to replace those people and then change the culture. Otherwise, GM risks making more boring products. ■ Do a better job anticipating changes in consumer tastes. What the experts say: People wanted GM trucks and SUVs, but it was weak in many car segments and wasn’t ready when gas prices spiked and the market shifted. Aaron Bragman, an automotive industry analyst for IHS Global Insight, said GM needs to improve its car lineup.

Keys to General Motors’ success

The Tax Man is in the mirror for the estate of the late King of Pop. Creditors and heirs of Michael Jackson hoping for a cut of his musical empire will have to line up with the Internal Revenue Service, which could lay claim to $80 million or more in federal estate taxes. Jackson To settle his tax bill, the executors of his estate may have to sell or borrow against lucrative but hard-tovalue assets or ask the IRS for a multi-year extension. That could allow the estate to pay the tab throughout time with earnings from Jackson’s share in rights to songs by the Beatles and his own music — prized properties whose value will likely make the

NEW YORK

As attention turns from Michael Jackson’s death to the complex estate the pop icon left behind, experts are sorting through his holdings and putting price tags on their value — with an eye on the tax bill they will generate. Although the superstar’s property is worth far more than ordinary people could ever dream of amassing, some of the issues that will come up surrounding Jackson’s estate taxes reflect common concerns about the so-called “death tax.” The estate tax is a tax on the transfer

estate’s tax bill only bigger. “The government is not going to take a Beatles record as payment. They want to be paid in cash,” said Roy Kozupsky, a veteran estate lawyer in New York who has worked on behalf of several wealthy clients. Given the convoluted nature of Jackson’s finances, coming up with the cash won’t be easy. Technically, the tax bill is due nine months after the date of death. In special cases, estates

of property when someone dies, which means that the estate itself — not the heirs — foots the bill. (Of course, it can significantly eat into the amount the heirs inherit.) For the most part, only very large estates have to pay — in 2004, just 0.82 percent of all estates were taxed by the federal government. That figure will likely drop, according to the Internal Revenue Service, because the size of estates exempt from the tax more than doubled — to $3.5 million this year from $1.5 million in 2004. — The Associated Press

can spread out the payments for a period of as many as 14 years. Once paid, the tax bill could dramatically shrink the inheritance passed on to the pop star’s heirs — his 79-year-old mother and three children. “It’s going to mean less money going to the beneficiaries,” said Lawrence Heller, a partner in the tax and estate practice of the law firm Bryan Cave in Santa Monica, Calif. “They’re the ones that are going to suffer.”

WASHINGTON

The Bush administration authorized secret surveillance activities that still have not been made public, according to a new government report that questions the legal basis for the unprecedented anti-terrorism program. It’s unclear how much valuable intelligence was yielded by the surveillance program started after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, according to the unclassified summary of reports by five inspectors general. The reports mandated by Congress last year were delivered to lawmakers Friday. President George W. Bush authorized other secret intelligence activities — which have yet to become public — even as he was launching the massive warrentless wiretapping program, the summary said. It describes the entire program as the “President’s Surveillance Program.” The report describes the program as unprecedented and raises questions about the legal grounding used for its creation. It also says the intelligence agencies’ continued retention and use of the information collected under the program should be carefully monitored. Many senior intelligence officials believe the program filled a gap in intelligence. Others, including FBI, CIA and National Counterterrorism Center analysts, said intelligence gathered by traditional means often was more specific and timely, according to the report. The Bush White House acknowledged in 2005 that it allowed the National Security Agency to intercept international communications that passed through U.S. cables without court orders. The inspectors general interviewed more than 200 government officials and private sector personnel, including former CIA and NSA Director Michael Hayden, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

Women’s groups quiet about Sonia Sotomayor WASHINGTON

��

Women’s groups, euphoric when President Barack Obama chose Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court, have been remarkably quiet in the weeks since about the judge who would be the court’s third woman ever. Sotomayor’s few rulings on reproductive issues have made abortion rights activists unwilling to crusade on her behalf, and other liberal women’s organizations say they’re waiting to voice full-throated support until they know more about her record. Their relative silence may be helping Sotomayor — who’s been accused of letting her personal experiences interfere with her judging — more than it hurts her. “She’s been able to rise above some of that interest group politics,” said Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., a member of the Judiciary Committee that will begin questioning Sotomayor next week in a marathon set of highly publicized hearings.

May trade deficit drops to $26B unexpectedly WASHINGTON

��

The U.S. trade deficit declined to the lowest level in more than nine years in May as exports posted a small gain while the weak American economy pushed imports down for a 10th straight month. The slight rebound in exports, combined with a slower pace of decline in imports, showed that the nosedive in global activity may be starting to ebb. Delayed revivals overseas likely will hinder a rebound in the U.S., but most analysts still expect the American economy to grow a bit later this year. The Commerce Department said Friday the deficit narrowed to $26 billion, a decline of 9.8 percent from April and the lowest level since November 1999. Economists expected the deficit to widen to $30.2 billion in May.

A 14-year-old girl and four young men with her in a car were killed Thursday when the driver — a 19-year-old with a suspended license — sped around a lowered railroad crossing gate and past the flashing warning lights in an attempt to beat a train. The car was broadsided. On a surveillance video released by police, the car never slowed as it approached the crossing about 20 miles west of Detroit. It drove right past a stopped SUV, just before the Amtrak train rushed through at about 12:30 p.m.

PAMPLONA, SPAIN

For a bull, this one was on the smallish side, at just more than a ton. And its name, Capuchino, sounded harmless enough, like coffee with frothy milk. But of the things that can go wrong when hordes of humans sprint with thundering beasts at

Spain’s most storied fiesta, the light brown bull did one of the most dangerous Friday, straying from the pack, spooking and charging at anything that moved. The rogue bull gored a young Spaniard in the neck, the first fatality in nearly 15 years at Pamplona’s Running of the Bulls. The victim was killed almost instantly as he scurried for cover under a wooden barrier, sliding

under it feet-first. Had he dived headfirst, the experienced bull runner and son of a Pamplona native probably would still be alive. At least nine were injured in the fourth of eight planned runs, illustrating the festival’s extraordinary drawing power and global lure: two were Americans in their 60s, one a Londoner age 20 and another a young man from Argentina.

Leaders call for larger G-8 cast THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

L’AQUILA, ITALY

For all the smiles and upbeat talk, the just-ended Group of Eight summit showed how unwieldy the forum has become, run by Cold War-vintage powers while relegating the world’s fastest growing economies — China, India and Brazil — to observers. It also showed just how sharp the divisions are between oldworld and new-world viewpoints. The meeting fell short of expectations on many counts, from climate control to trade. The global economic crisis weighed heavily on everyone and complicated efforts to find consensus, resulting in avoiding or putting off some major decisions. Members appeared divided on how soon to roll back stimulus packages, although they agreed now was not the time to start. G-8 leaders themselves are quick to point out the shortcomings of a three-decade-old exclusive club in dealing with 21st century problems. Excluding emerging world powers is “wrongheaded,” U.S. President Barack Obama said Friday in a wrap-up news conference.

AROUND THE WORLD Pope presses Obama about abortion, stem cell research VATICAN CITY

Pope Benedict XVI stressed the church’s opposition to abortion and stem cell research in his first meeting with President Barack Obama on Friday, pressing the Vatican’s case with the U.S. leader who already is under fire about those issues from some conservative Catholics and bishops back home. The 30-minute meeting Vatican audience was described by both sides as positive — constructive talks between two men who agree on helping the poor and pushing for Middle East peace but disagree on what the Vatican considers prime ethical issues. Afterward, the Vatican said the leaders discussed immigration, the Middle East peace process and aid to developing nations. But the Vatican’s statement also underscored the pair’s deep disagreement on abortion. Even in his gift to the U.S. leader, the pope sought to underscore his beliefs. Benedict

gave Obama a copy of a Vatican document on bioethics that hardened the church’s opposition to using embryos for stem cell research, cloning and in-vitro fertilization. Obama supports stem cell research.

US moving away from Afghan drug eradication WASHINGTON

The 4,000 U.S. Marines now pushing deep into Talibancontrolled tracts as part of an expanded war in southern Afghanistan are setting up fire bases amid some of the most productive poppy fields in the world’s opium-producing capital. It’s not harvest time in Helmand province, the center of Afghanistan’s thriving opium poppy industry. But even if the flowers were blooming, it’s doubtful the Marines would do much about it. Convinced that razing the cash crop grown by dirt-poor Afghan farmers is costing badly needed friends along the front lines of the fight against Taliban-led insurgents, U.S. authorities say they are all but abandoning the Bush-era policy of destroying drug crops.

Every swimmer’s dream is to compete at the highest level. For Blake Worsley, that dream includes swimming in the Olympics. The recent University of Denver graduate and 2005 Steamboat Springs High School graduate took a huge step toward that goal on Wednesday.

Worsley qualified for the Canadian National Team at the Canadian World Championship Trials in Montreal. By finishing third in the 200meter freestyle event, Worsley will compete for the Canadian 800 relay team at the World Swimming Championships in Italy on July 27. His time of 1 minute, 48.61 seconds was nearly two seconds better than his previous best. There also is a chance

Worsley will get to swim as an individual in the event. “It was just absolutely a joy,” Worsley said Friday from Montreal. “It was really exciting and a thrill for me. It was a shock when I got out. It was the most exciting moment in my life. I’ve worked so hard to achieve this. I’m so excited to represent Canada in the World Championships.” Worsley wrapped up his collegiate career as one of the

most decorated swimmers in DU history. He owns seven school records and was named an All-American this year. He also was named DU’s Male Athlete of the Year. For the past several weeks, however, Worsley was focused on making the Canadian National Team. He had been training before tapering off his workouts in the past several weeks. See Worsley, page 29

Despite a major bike malfunction and what he described as considerably worse weather, his faith in his abil-

White, one of two Steamboat Springs residents to start the massive tour, finished the race in 21 days, 5 hours and 15 minutes. “It’s one of those things that gets under your skin,” White said about the race. “All winter, I thought, ‘If did this differently,’ or ‘Maybe if I trained more.’

“I’m definitely glad I did it again. I knocked three days off my time. Considering the mechanical issues and the weather, it was pretty good.” Erik Lobeck had to pull out of the race just two days from the finish after succumbing to the giardia parasite, a waterSee Tour Divide, page 28

Steamboat Springs is hosting a pair of Little League district tournaments this weekend. Emerald Park will feature the 10- and 11-year-old age group as well as the 11- and 12-yearold age group. Play began Friday and potentially continues through Tuesday. An 11- and 12-year-old Steamboat team opens tournament play at 10 a.m. today at Emerald Green. The other division doesn’t have a team from Steamboat. The 11- and 12-year-old team has won the district tournament three years in a row. Winners of the district tournament advance to the state tournament. A Steamboat 9- and 10-yearold team is competing in a district tournament in Summit County. Other teams expected to play

include Summit, Craig, Hayden, Leadville and Grand County. If the Steamboat team wins today, the team would have a bye until 5:30 p.m. Monday. If the team wins that game, it would advance to the state tournament. If the team does not win that game, it plays Tuesday. “We want to continue that streak, which would be great with this group,” coach Tim Bishop said. “I don’t know much about the teams we are playing, but I’m not concerned with that as much as with how we play.” Bishop said eight of the 11 players on the team have played together since they were 8 years old. That includes multiple tournaments across the state this year. Several players also have played on high-level teams across the state, adding up to more

than 75 games since September. Although Bishop didn’t want to look ahead or past the district tournament, he said one of the main goals is to have a much better showing at the state tournament than in the past. Two years ago, Steamboat had its best showing, winning its opening round game against Boulder before getting bounced. “It’s such a high level of baseball that is played there,” Bishop said. “We tried to expose a majority of the kids to a very high and competitive level throughout other parts of the year. We want them to see that and gain confidence that they can play with those kids. Baseball is such a confidence game and such a mental game. They have to believe they can do well.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

Lobeck said Thursday from Steamboat, almost fully recovered after withdrawing from the race July 2. Going in, White said he thought he could make the trip faster and more fun with the knowledge he picked up a year ago. He packed less and traveled more efficiently. But while a late spring hampered last year’s Tour Divide, leaving many of the mountain passes still clogged with snow, incessant rainstorms waterlogged this year’s race. “It was so horrendous,” he said. “On the course maps, there are sections where, in italics, it says, ‘Road may be impassible when wet.’ They aren’t kidding. The mud was just unbelievable.” It was annoying, White said, when mud found its way into everything he carried with him. It was disastrous when the thick soup broke the derailer from his dual-suspension bicycle. White had to adjust on the fly, transforming his bike into a singlespeed until he could reach a bike shop. The delay knocked him from the group he’d latched onto and threatened to end his race before the halfway point. But it didn’t ruin the trip. White rode hard, staying out later and waking up earlier in the days after his breakdown. He eventually caught back up with the group he had started with, including Lobeck, and passed most of them. He was

the fifth finisher. Five riders still remained on the trail as of Thursday evening, while 16 had made the finish line in tiny Antelope Wells, N.M. “I won’t do it again unless I’m on a motorcycle,” White, back at work in Steamboat, said with a laugh. “About halfway through the race, I told my girlfriend to remind me that I said I would never do it again.” Lobeck, meanwhile, wouldn’t rule out another crack at the exhausting trip, though he said the dream would take a spot on the back burner as he and his wife, Jessica, prepare for their first child. He pulled out of the race in Pie Town, N.M., basically a wide spot on the road in the middle of the state. He managed to bunk up in a house open to trail users, but knew he couldn’t go on. He was 300 miles from the finish. “Obviously, I’m disappointed I didn’t get the chance to finish it out, but that was circumstances beyond my control,” Lobeck said. “I dealt with all kinds of issues out there, from bike problems to pain in my knees and tendons. But I couldn’t deal with something that doesn’t allow me to keep any food or water down. “I didn’t give up.

Contador duels Armstrong

Spaniard battles with American during 1st big mountain stage Jamey Keaten

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ARCALIS, ANDORRA

In the Tour de France duel between teammates Lance Armstrong and Alberto Contador, the first big mountain stage went to the Spaniard. Contador, the 2007 winner, unleashed a burst of speed Friday in the last uphill mile into the tiny Pyrenees principality of Andorra Armstrong — and Armstrong didn’t lay chase. By the end of the seventh stage, Contador had bumped the seven-time champion from second to third in the overall standings. Perhaps more important, he showed he has the legs for this unrelenting three-week test. The 140-mile trek from Barcelona, Spain, to the ski resort of Arcalis was the longest stage of this Tour. It was won by Brice Feillu, of France, and produced a new leader in Rinaldo Nocentini. Nocentini, who joined Feillu in a nine-man breakaway, became the first Italian in nine years to seize the yellow jersey and ended the six-day hold on the lead by Switzerland’s Fabian Cancellara. Contador is six seconds behind Nocentini, a Tour newcomer at age 31 and a stage winner at the Tour of California this year. Armstrong dropped one spot to third and is eight seconds back. The question of the day was whether strong climbers would attack Armstrong and Contador, hoping to cut into their deficits from the two time trials during the last week. Armstrong entered the day a fraction of a second behind Cancellara. Contador trailed by 19 seconds in third. Astana’s plan had been to let less threatening breakaway riders go while squelching attacks from more serious rivals like Cadel Evans, of Australia; Andy

CYCLING — TOUR DE FRANCE Schleck, of Luxembourg, or 2008 Tour champion Carlos Sastre, of Spain. After Evans, a two-time Tour runner-up, took his shot in the final climb, Armstrong hugged the Australian’s back wheel. Then Contador struck. Withstanding the headwinds along the slopes that make solo riding exhausting, the Spaniard overcame his gap with Armstrong. He insisted his real motivation was gaining time on other contenders. “I was just asserting my position against my main rivals,” Contador said. “Nothing was planned in advance, but when I saw Evans and Schleck didn’t budge, I sensed the opportunity because I had good legs.” “This is not a show of force,” he added. “I felt very good and I took a lot of pleasure in riding in the mountains right close to Spain and my home.” The plan at Astana had been to wait for rivals to strike, not gain time on each other. But after Armstrong used the wind and his wits in Stage 3 with a move that vaulted him ahead of Contador in the standings, the gloves may now be off. Armstrong said he had foreseen a possible move by Contador. “It was a fine day,” he said. “I think overall we’re fine. Yesterday I said I expected him to assert himself in the race.” The stage was a far cry from Armstrong’s heyday when he racked up seven straight Tour wins from 1999 to 2005. Back then, he stamped his dominance from the first encounter with the mountains. “I didn’t expect a demonstration like, you know, some of the other years on the first climb days,” the 37-year-old Texan said. He said the headwinds prodded many riders to seek shelter in the bunch. “We’ll have plenty of days at the end of this Tour where there’s only a couple of guys

At a glance ARCALIS, ANDORRA

A brief look at Friday’s seventh stage of the Tour de France: Stage: A 139.2-mile trek featuring five climbs on a route from Barcelona to an uphill finish at the Arcalis ski resort in the Pyrenees. Winner: Frenchman Brice Feillu, of the Agritubel team, in 6 hours, 11 minutes, 31 seconds, following a long breakaway. Feillu spent about 118 miles in the lead group before attacking alone with about 3.5 miles to go. Yellow Jersey: Rinaldo Nocentini, of the AG2R-La Mondiale team. Nocentini, who was in the successful breakaway, is the first Italian to wear the yellow jersey on the Tour since Alberto Elli in 2000. Quote of the Day: “When I saw my brother with tears in his eyes, I began to realize what was happening. Emotion overwhelmed me then.” Brice Feillu, after winning his first stage on his debut Tour. Feillu’s brother, Romain, wore the yellow jersey for one day on last year’s Tour. Next stage: Saturday’s eighth stage is the second big mountain stage of the Tour, taking the riders on a 109.7mile ride from La Vella, Andorra, to Saint-Girons, France. It features three difficult climbs. — The Associated Press

together,” he said. Contador finished the stage ninth, 3:26 after Feillu. Armstrong was 15th, 3:47 behind — the same time as Evans, Schleck and Sastre. Those three are all back about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes in the title chase. Armstrong has shown solid but not outstanding form at this Tour, the centerpiece of his comeback after 3 1/2 years of retirement. His smart riding has outshone his physical prowess. “Overall, I feel pretty good,” he said. “Things didn’t quite go according to plan that we set up earlier, but it didn’t matter.” For Contador, who could have the makings of one of the great cyclists, there’s no doubt about his physical ability at age 26. His conundrum will be managing the pressure, and the questions about whether he or Armstrong is better suited to be team leader.

Worsley to swim for relay, individual qualifiers Worsley continued from 27 “This will be a great experience for him getting to travel as part of the Canadian National Team, and more importantly, give him great experience in preparing to qualify for the next Olympic trials,” DU swimming and diving coach Brian Schrader said in a news release. Worsley said he didn’t swim as well in the morning event Wednesday as he had hoped,

but he still qualified for the finals. He was in an outside lane during the finals. “I had no idea whether I was in first, second or last,” Worsley said. But when he got out of the water, Worsley realized he was third and part of the Canadian National Team. He’ll swim the 400 free later on with a shot at qualifying for the relay and individual events. Until then, he better have

plans to get fitted for a maple leaf Speedo. “It’s always been a goal for me,” Worsley said. “It’s something that on paper seems easier than it is to do. It’s been in my mind a long time. It’s a goal to make the Olympics — that’s every swimmer’s dream. This is one more step to doing it. It’s so surreal — I can’t explain how excited I was.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

Cristie Kerr leads at Women’s Open ��

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BETHLEHEM, PA.

Cristie Kerr knows the emotion of winning a U.S. Women’s Open, and she wants to experience it again — preferably this week. Two years after winning the national championship, the 31-year-old Kerr is in position again. She strung together three birdies on the front nine Friday in a round of 1-under 70 to take a one-stroke lead past Paula Creamer after two rounds of the Women’s Open. Kerr overcame a bout of

lightheadedness at the start and had one of only six rounds under par on the tough Saucon Valley Country Club layout, offsetting four bogeys with five birdies. She stands at 3-under 139. The focus Friday was back on golf, a marked change at an event that has been overshadowed all week by a dispute between LPGA Tour commissioner Carolyn Bivens and more than a dozen top tour players who signed a letter calling for her resignation. The New York Times, citing a source, reported Friday that Bivens originally planned to fight the move to force her out, but had decided to step down after the Open concludes. Golf Digest previously had reported Thursday that Bivens would be replaced, as soon as next week and cited sources who said the letter from the players was the final blow. The LPGA reiterated its statement from earlier in the week. “Out of respect to the USGA and the amazing work that they’ve done and continue to do in producing and hosting this great event, we will not respond to media reports on internal matters related to the LPGA business,” LPGA Tour spokesman David Higdon said in the statement. The drama off the course was not a distraction to the players,

who were more concerned with the narrow fairways and speedy undulating greens at the Old Course as the cut line fell at 9over. Kerr moved around the course with the confidence that only a major winner can display. “It’s great to know that I’ve won one, and I know I can do it on the weekend,” she said. “I feel very comfortable.” Not feeling her best at the start, Kerr opened with a bogey and four pars. She began feeling better on the 13th — she started on the back nine — and hit stride on the 15th through 17th. She rolled in putts of 9, 3 and

8 feet for her run of birdies and, after a pair of bogeys to open her back nine, made birdie putts of 15 and 12 feet on the way in to maintain the lead. The former champion let it be known earlier in the week that she has the game it takes to win a second Open. “Nobody’s immune to getting pumped up and having adrenaline obviously, but I feel very comfortable with my mindset and my game plan and what I have to do. So I feel like I know what I have to do, instead of in ’07 you’re kind of like, well, what do I do in this situation? How are you going to feel, teeing up in the final group on Sunday?”

Goosen takes lead in Scottish Open Doug Ferguson

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LUSS, SCOTLAND

Already a winner on the PGA Tour this year, Retief Goosen continued making progress toward rejoining golf’s elite Friday with an 8-under 63 on a gorgeous day at Loch Lomond for a two-shot lead in the Scottish Open. Adam Scott (67) was right behind on the leaderboard and can only hope he’s not too far behind in the recovery process. Both reached as high as No. 3 in the world during the past four years, Scott most recently last summer during the U.S. Open. Both watched various parts of their game break down. They will be in the final group today at Loch Lomond, the final event before heading south to Turnberry for the British Open. “We all want to play well,” said Goosen, who was at 11under 131. “We all go through patches in this game. Nobody knows why. Otherwise, all of us would be No. 1, and that’s how it is.” Scott refused to get derailed by a double bogey late in his round,

GOLF — PGA answering with three birdies during his final four holes that allowed him to take in the pleasant scenery — sparkling blue water from Loch Lomond, and his name on the leaderboard. “Nice to see it up there for a weekend, anyway,” Scott said. “Two rounds in the 60s in a row, pretty good for me.” Martin Kaymer, of Germany, (65) and Marcus Fraser (66), of Australia, were tied for third at 8-under 134. Nick Watney, an American making his European Tour debut, had a 68 and was in the group at 7-under 135. The top four all played in the morning, the start of a spectacular summer day in Scotland with clear skies and virtually no wind. Goosen slipped to No. 45 in the world at the end of last season, broke through with a victory at the Transitions Championship outside Tampa, Fla., and keeps giving himself more chances to win. The only surprise was his opening tee shot, which he topped so badly with a 3-wood that it went

only 180 yards into the rough, and he had to lay up short of the water on the 455-yard hole. He hit 7-iron for his third shot to 25 feet and saved par. Then came another big miss, some 40 yards to the right, and Goosen again saved par with a pitch-and-run through a valley in the middle of the green to within 4 feet. As always, he kept a quiet sense of humor about it. Asked the last time he hit a tee shot that went only 180 yards, Goosen said, “When I hit a 6iron off the tee.” Scott tied for second in Honolulu at the Sony Open at the start of the year, then his game mysteriously vanished. He hasn’t finished in the top 20 since, and missed six consecutive cuts. From 13 months ago, when he was part of the Nos. 1-2-3 grouping at the U.S. Open with Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, he has slipped to No. 43. Scott retreated to London, working alone on the range at Queenwood Golf Club to get back to the basics, and he is slowly putting his game back together. He opened with a 66 and arrived at Loch Lomond on Friday expecting to play well.
