Hayden residents will dictate their town’s governance during a Tuesday vote on the proposed home rule charter. The town will decide whether to remain a statutory town or switch to a home rule town and whether to accept or reject the charter.

tions in Alaska, Canada and Greenland. In spite of their high-fat diets, the Inuit had a remarkably low rate of heart disease. “They were eating a high-fat diet: walrus meat, whale blubber and cold-water fish,” Jenny Thomsen, registered dietician at Yampa Valley Medical Center, said. “Researchers asked, ‘What is it about this diet?’ The answer was the beneficial oils in the fatty fish.” Thomsen explains that these studies were a key discovery for heart health. “These fats help with heart disease because they lower triglycerides in plasma, which lowers your risk of coronary artery disease,” Thomsen said. “They also can lower your blood pressure.” Additionally, omega-3s increase circulation because they make the platelets in your blood less sticky, Thomsen said. The American Heart Association announced earlier this year that omega-6 along with omega-3 fatty acids can have many health benefits when consumed in the recommended amounts. Some experts think they are beneficial for heart and brain function, normal growth and development, as well as other diseases such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis and lupus. Thomsen agrees wholeheartedly.

Try to catch the following “oily” fish for your plate: salmon, trout, mackerel, herring, sardines, pilchards, kipper, eel, whitebait, tuna (fresh only), anchovies, swordfish, bloater, cacha, carp, hilsa, jack fish, katla, orange roughy, pangas, and sprats.

“I am not only telling you, I’m living it,” Thomsen said. To lower her risk of coronary heart disease, her doctor recommended that Thomsen increase her omega-3 intake through her diet. “The key for me was increasing my fish consumption,” she said. “By eating my physician’s recommendation, I was able to lower my triglycerides and cholesterol.” For some, fish oil supplements can aid in the increase of omega-3s. Thomsen warns that not all fish oil supplements are alike. It is best to consult your physician or a registered dietician to help you find the best solution. Those who are at risk for or have diagnosed coronary heart disease should talk to their doctor about their fatty acid intake. Otherwise, the common recommendation is add a 3-ounce portion of oily fish to your menu at least twice weekly. Thomsen, who counsels outpatients through YVMC’s Nutrition Services program, said there are many ways to add fish to your diet. “Fish can be served hot or cold, as a main course or side dish,” she said. Thomsen suggested bagels See Monday Medical, page 13

Do you have any omega-3s? No? “Go fish!” Remember this classic card game? The more sets of cards you get, the better your chances of winning. When it comes to fighting heart disease, there are some fats you want to collect to win the battle and some you want to avoid. Fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6 are two of the “better” fats to try to get in your diet because of their role in heart health, among other benefits. These two fatty acids are so important to health and body function, they literally are labeled “essential.” Most Americans already get their omega-6s through plant oils (corn oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil), nuts and seeds. Therefore the balance weighs more toward omega-6s than omega-3s. The one tactic to maintain a healthy ratio? Eat more fish. Oily fish such as salmon, fresh tuna — not canned — lake trout, herring, anchovies and sardines are the best source of omega-3s. Not all fish are created equal. Popular nonoily, or “white fish” fish such as tilapia, sea bass, snapper, cod, catfish and halibut are low in omega-3s and could weigh the scale too heavily toward omega-6. If you are wondering where we got the idea to eat all this oily fish, look north. Scientists first discovered some fats are actually good because of studies of Inuit popula-

Copeland died July 9 after the four-wheeler she was riding while spraying weeds at her and husband Kevin’s Pyramid Llama Ranch near Rio Blanco County rolled on top of her. She was 52. That first group of American Airlines employees, and those who came to Hayden in the following years to work at the airport, became a family, said Valerie Pearce, who flew from Chicago to attend the service. “She gave us a home.

es, we can successfully grow raspberries in our mountain environment. In fact, one of my favorite hikes along the Elk River off Seedhouse Road is a particular treat for me in the late summer when the wild raspberry bushes along the river are loaded with this delicious fruit. I tend to graze my way along this trail, making for a leisurely hike as I pick and eat. There are many kinds of red and yellow raspberries (Rubus idaeus) that grow at elevations up to 8,500 feet. These include summer-bearing and fall-bearing varieties. Other raspberries, such as the black and purple varieties do not grow as well here. Recommended summerbearing raspberries include cold-hardy Latham, Boyne, Newburgh, Canby (a thornless variety) and Titan. These varieties will produce fruit early in the season but require a bit of extra care, including trellising and protection during winter. Summer-bearing plants will bear fruit on second year canes.

Rodeman sues Oak Creek in relation to tasing On the ’Net OAK CREEK

Former Oak Creek mayor Kathy “Cargo” Rodeman filed a civil suit Friday against the Town Board and its former police officials in response to a July 2008 incident in which she was stunned with a Taser and arrested on suspicion of five misdemeanor charges. All charges against her were eventually dropped, and the two police officials later resigned. In the suit filed in Routt County District Court by her attorney Kris Hammond, Rodeman accuses former Oak Creek Police Sgt. Erik Foster of assault, battery, trespassing, false imprisonment and false arrest, violation of civil rights, and extreme and outrageous conduct. The lawsuit states that on July 19, 2008, Foster forced his way into Rodeman’s house and shocked her with a Taser twice as she “cowered on the floor of her bedroom begging not to be tased.” Foster has said he arrested Rodeman because she failed to use her turn signal and then fled from police. Foster has said he pursued Rodeman into her home and then used a Taser to subdue her because she wasn’t cooperating, and he feared she would injure him. Rodeman was cited on misdemeanor charges of eluding police, obstructing a police officer, resisting arrest, driving under the influence of alcohol and driving under the influence per se, as well as a traffic infraction of failure to signal. The charges were dropped Oct. 1, 2008. Rodeman also accuses former Oak Creek Police Chief Russ Caterinicchio of extreme and outrageous conduct, improper training and supervision, and violation of civil rights. Foster and Caterinicchio resigned from the Oak Creek Police Department on Sept. 11, 2008. The suit also names the Town of Oak Creek and Town Board members — including Mayor J. Eliot, Town Trustee and Police Commissioner Chuck Wisecup, Dave Fisher, Josh Voorhis, Wendy Gustafson, Gerry Greenwood and Dave Ege — as defendants and accuses them of improper training, supervision and retention, violation of civil rights and liability for the alleged misconduct of Foster and Caterinicchio. “As a direct result of the conduct of Defendants as above alleged,” the lawsuit states, “Plaintiff endured elec-

trical shock, pain, suffering, humiliation, illegal forced entry into her home, trespass, loss of privacy in her own home, illegal unconstitutional searches of her home and car, illegal arrest, loss of liberty, scarring, emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life.” “It’s shameful what happened, and I think Cargo wants to make sure it doesn’t ever happen again,” Hammond said Sunday. “We take good police work for granted in our country, and that’s a credit to the officers. When the people who are supposed to be pro-

tecting you start hurting you, it’s a serious situation that has to be dealt with.” Wisecup said he had not yet seen the lawsuit, but he wasn’t surprised because Rodeman filed her notice of intent to sue in January. The notice of intent simply preserved Rodeman’s right to sue at a later date. By law, she had 180 days after her arrest to notify the town of the intent, which she initially did the day the charges against her were dropped. Asked whether the Town Board supports the actions of Foster and Caterinicchio, Wisecup said, “I guess that will all come out during whatever court action takes place.” Eliot declined to comment because he too had not yet

seen the lawsuit. Eliot said after he discusses the lawsuit with Town Attorney Bob Weiss, “I’m sure we’ll have something to say at that point.” Weiss, who also had not seen the lawsuit, said it would be referred to Oak Creek’s insurance carrier, which has council or will provide council to represent the town. Hammond said the next steps included waiting for a response to the lawsuit from Oak Creek. He said the court then would schedule a trial date. The lawsuit requests compensator damages, interest, costs, attorney fees and “any other relief this court deems appropriate.” Hammond said he and

COMMENTARY

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

Pharisees on the Potomac Maureen Dowd

THE NEW YORK TIMES

Like cats that have lost their whiskers, the Republicans seem off-balance now that they have lost their talent for hypocrisy. They still are practicing the ancient political art of Tartuffery, of course, just without their former aplomb. Who can forget the glory years, when the Gipper invoked God but never went to church? When Arlen Specter Dowd accused Anita Hill of perjury to distract from Clarence Thomas’ false witness? When Newt Gingrich and other conservatives indulged in affairs with young Washington peaches as they pushed to impeach Bill Clinton? No one had more flair than W. and Cheney, crowing about making us safe

as they made the world more dangerous, and bragging about fiscal restraint while they spent us into oblivion. Now when Republicans get caught flouting the principles they dictate, they are not able to practice hypocrisy with such impunity. Loverboy Mark Sanford’s career continued to go south last week as news organizations exposed his two-faced tactics on travel expenses. When he ran for South Carolina governor in 2002, he attacked the Democratic incumbent for “lavish spending” on hotels and planes. Once elected, he asked state employees to bunk together in hotel rooms when they traveled and chastised staffers who spent more than the $208 federal rate. But, as Politico reports: “He routinely billed taxpayers for high-end airline seats, racking up more than $44,000 on business and first-class tickets. He often stayed in pricey hotels that far exceeded the rates he imposed on other

state employees.” On a trade mission to China, Sanford spent $12,000 on business-class tickets, leaving aides in economy for about $1,900. The religious boardinghouse in Washington where Sanford sought succor from fellow conservatives, where he agonized to pals about his tango with the enticing María, also is back in the news. Affiliated with a secretive Capitol Hill group known as the Fellowship — which also sponsored Bible study and prayer circles attended by Hillary Clinton when she was a senator — the pious dwelling is becoming a tourist attraction, a monument to Republican hypocrisy. The C Street house, as the flag-flying brick row house near the Capitol is known, serves as a residence and Bible study retreat for many Christian conservative lawmakers. But it looks as if what these guys were praying for was a chance See Dowd, page 9

Obama’s new racial doctrine Clarence Page

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

How should we think about racism in the age of President Barack Obama? In his first speech as president to the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights organization, Obama’s answer to that question was a rich mixture of his presidential agenda, Bill Cosby’s selfhelp spiel, the Rev. Jesse Jackson’s political push and rapper Jay-Z’s oratorical flow. Yet, as a historical Page turning point, what he said was less important than who was saying it. America’s first president of African descent takes office in the same year as the 100th anniversary of a group that helped make it possible, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

MALLARD FILLMORE

The irony of that happy coincidence is how much it haunted conversations at the convention with a nagging question: As civil rights-era protests have declined and blacks participate at all levels of politics, is the NAACP still relevant? Obama chose to answer that question by reframing it. Regardless of how relevant it may or may not be at the end of its first century, he offered ways for it to become more relevant in the next. After his obligatory salute to the debt that he and other successful African Americans owe to the NAACP’s past leaders, he left no doubt that he believes “the pain” of prejudice and discrimination against blacks, Latinos, gays, lesbians, Muslims and others is real and “still felt.” Nevertheless, he pointed out, they are not “even the steepest barriers to opportunity today.” More difficult, he said, are the oftenneglected “structural inequalities that our nation’s legacy of discrimination

has left behind.” This led into a list of Obama policies and programs that, while color-blind in their application, have particular importance to black Americans who have disproportionately been left behind. Yet, the most notable portion of the speech came with his self-help message, the same message that last year Rev. Jackson was caught by an open TV network microphone bitterly deriding as “talking down to black people.” At the NAACP gathering, Obama received rousing “amens” as he said, “Government programs alone won’t get our children to the Promised Land.” He called for “a new mindset, a new set of attitudes” against an internalized sense of limitation in which “so many in our community have come to expect so little of ourselves.” His Cosbyesque message to put away See Page, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

GOP wanted Sotomayor to be more activist to get lucky. John Ensign, the Promise Keeper who broke all his promises, resides there. As The Washington Post reported, Sen. Tom Coburn, who lives there, had an emotional meeting about forgiveness at the house with Doug Hampton, the husband of Ensign’s mistress. (Forgiveness plus bribery can often do the trick.) Coburn said he would not talk to a court or the Senate ethics committee about the episode because he was counseling Ensign partly as a doctor. (Coburn is an obgyn.) Last week, The Associated Press revealed that the estranged wife of a former Republican congressman, Chip Pickering, of Mississippi, had filed an alienation of affection lawsuit seeking damages against her husband’s gal pal, a wealthy former college sweetheart named Elizabeth

Creekmore Byrd. The suit charges that as a lawmaker, Chip used C Street as a divine love nest. “Ultimately,” it says, “Creekmore Byrd gave Pickering the option to remain a public servant or become a private citizen and continue relations with her.” Republican hypocrisy fell flat at the Sotomayor hearings. After railing all week against the “empathy standard,” as Sen. Jeff Sessions called it, the Republicans tried to play the empathy card by calling in two New Haven, Conn., firefighters, one white and one Hispanic, who were on the losing end of Sonia Sotomayor’s ruling. Wearing their dress uniforms, the pair told their heart-tugging tales of studying for an exam that got thrown out after they scored high. Frank Ricci, who studied hard to overcome his dyslexia, used his finger to trace under the words as he read his testimony.

But the Republican complaint against Sotomayor in that case boiled down to wanting her to be more activist. They were upset that she sided with elected officials and precedent rather than intervening to strike down a result that many people, including me, found unfair. Sotomayor’s syntax was unfathomable, but the Republicans’ language sounded positively archaic: dire warnings against activist judges, when the conservative majority on this Supreme Court has ignored or upended precedent in a slew of cases. Sotomayor kept her feelings in check, while her white male Republican interrogators dissolved into whining about wanting to keep their guns and nunchakus and wishing they could get back some sway over what women do with their bodies. If they are so interested in women’s bodies, maybe they should just move to C Street.

How will NAACP use Obama’s lessons? Page continued from 8 the Xbox and put your kids to bed at a reasonable hour, like so many of his other messages, transcends racial lines. Yet it has special meaning to African Americans who, polls show, vote liberal but hold conservative moral values. It is also a message that would be hard to imagine coming with much moral credibility from any president except one who grew up as Obama did, as a mixed-race son of a father who abandoned him in his early childhood. The speech was classic Obama. He found ways to address issues related to race in terms and values that are not limited to any one racial or ethnic community. It fleshed out in many ways the issues raised in his only other major address on race, his Philadelphia campaign

speech to explain his relationship with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Ironically, the victory of America’s first black president came partly because he chose to avoid the subject of race, no matter how much he was taunted to address it by the likes of Rush Limbaugh on the right or Ralph Nader on the left. It is politically safer for him to show us models of racial harmony than to tell us about them. Like the Huxtables on “The Cosby Show,” Obama and family visibly redeem the old 1950s American middle-class family ideal from the clutches of irony and dare the chattering classes to make fun of it. Watching his NAACP speech, I was reminded of a lingering question among his skeptics: How could he have spent 20 years in the church

of a racial firebrand like Rev. Wright. One reason, I have long theorized, is that along with his religious lessons, he was learning the depths of America’s racial divide so that someday he could bridge it. His sermon to the NAACP — he preached too much to call it a “speech” — reveals how well he learned his lessons. It remains to be seen how the NAACP uses those lessons. Other organizations like the National Urban League or 100 Black Men already emphasize economic development and family-mentoring programs that build the black community’s internal strengths. Today’s NAACP sees their goal as “social justice,” not “social service,” as Chairman Julian Bond has put it. But the families left behind by the civil rights revolution need both.

Communication is key to supporting friends with cancer Tamera Manzanares

Relay For Life

SPECIAL TO THE PILOT & TODAY

An invitation for a walk or movie, a helping hand with laundry, an offer to give a person a ride to and from treatment. Reaching out to a friend with cancer can be as simple as sending a thoughtful card or calling to ask how they are doing. Unfortunately, cancer and fear go hand in hand, and this can cause people with the best intentions to become tongue tied and uncomfortable. They might say the wrong thing, hurt or irritate a person or make empty offers to help. But that shouldn’t prevent them from trying. A little sensitivity and respect for an ill friend’s situation can set the stage for a trusting relationship that, ultimately, provides the unwell person the support they need to cope with the immense physical and mental challenges of their illness. Confronting a person’s cancer can be difficult, but skirting around the issue can be hurtful to a friend immersed in one of the biggest fights of their lives. When acknowledging a friend’s situation, speak from the heart. “I’m sorry to hear you are going through this,” or “If you would like to talk about it, I am here,” are example of statements that simply show a person cares. Katy Thiel is a social worker at the Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association and former coordinator of a cancer support group now offered through the Cancer Care program at Yampa Valley Medical Center. She notes that every person copes with cancer differently; some may be open about their condition while others pull inward. Reading their cues will let a friend know whether they want to talk more or if it’s best

to broach the subject again later. It’s important not to give up because, ultimately, that person likely will need to express thoughts and feelings about their illness. “Bring it up and see where the person is … realize that you can’t fix it, we just need to be there to let them vent,” she said. Lori Hope, a cancer survivor and caregiver writes about helping friends with cancer in her book, “Help Me Live: 20 Things People with Cancer Want You to Know.” The book is based on her own experience as a cancer survivor and caregiver, as well as surveys and interviews with other survivors. In an interview with Time Magazine, Hope suggests identifying with a friend with cancer as much as possible, recalling a time of great fear or sickness, what that felt like and how important it was to be hopeful. A sick or vulnerable person, for example, probably does not want to talk about the latest world tragedy or other cancer stories. Instead, try to keep conversations light, talking about subjects the other person enjoys. Be cognizant of how curiosity and concern sometimes can translate into a lecturing tone or inappropriate questions. Avoid questions about lifestyle choices such as smoking that may have contributed to their illness or choices they’ve made about treatment. “We really need to honor their way of doing things and

their timeline of doing things,” Thiel said. Questions about a person’s prognosis and whether they are in remission also were hurtful to some cancer survivors surveyed by Hope. It’s best not to impose unsolicited advice. If there’s a book or study that may be of interest, simply ask the person’s permission to share that, Hope said. Use common sense to balance between being overly positive and overly negative. Telling a person they should be resting instead of out doing something they enjoy can be discouraging and upsetting. At the same time, telling a person to have a positive attitude can be patronizing and discount the many emotions they are experiencing. Let them know it’s OK to have negative feelings and that depression is normal. Although it’s important to acknowledge a person’s cancer and be available if they want to talk about it, it’s also important to treat them as normally as possible by including them in

activities and social events. Individuals with cancer have a tendency to isolate themselves, so it’s important to keep reaching out, even if they decline. People fighting cancer often are exhausted; they need help but may be too proud to ask for it or too overwhelmed to take advantage of open-ended offers. “People in general want to be strong. … Cancer often wipes them out and they have a hard time reaching out,” Thiel said. If a person really wants to help a friend with cancer, they will think about what that person might need and make a specific offer, she said.

It took a crew of 22 people more than four hours to rescue a 25-year-old Steamboat Springs woman who was injured Saturday after landing on her back following a 65-foot jump from a cliff at King Solomon Falls. Routt County Search and Rescue was dispatched at about 4 p.m. Saturday to attend to the woman, who complained about neck pain and shortness of breath, Search and Rescue Incident Commander Dawn Alperti said. She said North Routt Ambulance and Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue

joined them by 6 p.m. But it took an additional nine volunteers to transport the woman one and a half miles to the ambulance, Alperti said. She was taken to Yampa Valley Medical Center sometime after 10 p.m. No information about the woman’s condition was available Sunday, and her name was not released. Alperti said it was the third hospitalization in the past five years for people injured at King Solomon Falls, which is accessed via private land in far northern Routt County. The first two were for jumpers who broke their backs, she said. The area is becoming more of a danger every year, Alperti said. She described it as not well

public hearing about the document. Under the current system, state statutes govern Hayden. Becoming a home rule municipality allows it more flexibility. Some residents have raised concerns that the town will paint itself into a corner or pass rules that it regrets. If voters approve the charter, the town’s governing body will be called the Town Council instead of the Town Board of Trustees. Six council members would be elected to four-year

terms, and the mayor would serve a two-year term. One of the benefits of home rule, town officials have said, is that it provides more flexibility in taxing. The charter would not overrule the state’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, which requires voter approval for all new taxes. Town Trustee Bill Hayden said it would be helpful to have flexibility to change taxes in an economic downturn. If the charter is approved, the Town Council can propose new taxes to voters. Those could appear on the ballot as soon as November.

We basically have to carry them out. “Four hours to move less than two miles is not a good option,” she added.

�� Limits on medical pot up for hearing ��

DENVER

Backers of medical marijuana are protesting a proposal to limit marijuana providers to five patients each, a change which could affect dispensaries that have sprouted up to serve a growing number of patients across Colorado. The state health board is set to consider the five-patient limit Monday during a hearing on several changes to how Amendment 20, passed by voters in 2000, is carried out. The board voted to limit caregivers to five patients in 2004 but a Denver judge threw that out

three years later because the board didn’t hold a hearing first. Colorado is one of 13 states that has passed laws allowing people to use marijuana for medical reasons. Amendment 20 allows people who suffer from debilitating medical conditions, including cancer, glaucoma, HIV and multiple sclerosis, to smoke marijuana in private once they get a doctor’s note and register with the state, paying a $90 fee. As of June 30, there were about 9,100 people registered to use medical marijuana, according to the Department of Public Health and Environment, which maintains the registry. That’s a

1,500 increase in May. The names on the list are confidential and the department doesn’t keep track of caregivers which has led to confusion in law enforcement about which growers truly are legal and which aren’t. The law says patients and their caregivers can grow six marijuana plants themselves or possess two ounces of marijuana. Caregivers are defined as people who have “significant responsibility for managing the well-being of a patient.” However, it doesn’t discuss the details of where pot should be grown. In a draft of the proposed rule changes, the health depart-

ment states that there’s nothing in Amendment 20 that allows for the creation of dispensaries and that caregivers supplying patients with marijuana must be people, not businesses. The department also states that home health nurses typically see no more than five patients a day. Department spokesman Mark Salley said the proposed changes are in keeping with the spirit of Amendment 20 but declined further comment. Health board member Jeanne McGinnis declined to comment on the reasons for the five-person limit and other board members didn’t return phone calls seeking comment.

Kayaker dies in Rocky Mountain National Park

A kayaker in the Poudre River has drowned after flipping and hitting his head. The accident happened at about noon Saturday near the Long Draw Reservoir.

Authorities say 21-year-old Derk Slottow flipped at the Big South Fork near Fort Collins. An acquaintance of Slottow pulled him from the river and attempted CPR but then left to get help. The acquaintance hiked 2 miles before finding a Rocky Mountain National Park Ranger. Slottow could not be revived.

Man killed at shooting range in Colorado Springs COLORADO SPRINGS

The father of a 25-yearold man killed at a Colorado Springs shooting range is calling for federal authorities to close the range. Otis Freison, of Aurora, was killed Saturday. Authorities say Freison was shot in the chest while shooting with friends at the Rampart Range Road shooting area, which is on U.S. Forest Service land. The range is in the Pike National Forest, near the Garden of the Gods park. “Someone didn’t clear their weapon properly,” El Paso County Sheriff Lt. Lari Sevene told The Denver Post. “As a general rule, everyone is on the line parallel to each

other and their firearms are pointed down range, but this is a public range so there is no oversight,” she said. That lack of oversight should lead officials to close the range, according to the victim’s father. Freison’s father, also named Otis Freison, said he didn’t know the range was unsupervised.

Body found in Poudre is missing motorcyclist FORT COLLINS

A body found in Cache la Poudre River has been identified as a Hawaii man who went missing last week when he crashed his motorcycle into the river. The Larimer County sheriff’s office said the body is 63-year-old Dennis M. Schultz, of Hawaii. Schultz’s body was found Saturday about a mile downriver from where witnesses reported seeing him crash Wednesday and go under a guardrail and into the river.

Apollo 11 crewmen differ in life after mission

CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA.

In the 40 years since Apollo 11, some of the key players, most notably Neil Armstrong, have steered clear of the increasingly bright glare of the moonlight cast by the historic lunar landing. Others have embraced it. Almost all have written books detailing not only themselves but the glory days of space. On this anniversary of his “one small step” on July 20, 1969, Armstrong, the commander, remains an enigma, steadfastly declining almost all interviews. He did not chronicle his own life, but agreed to a biography, “First Man,” written by a historian and published in 2005. Command module pilot Michael Collins, who circled the moon while Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin explored its dusty surface, is just as elusive. He’s not sure “recluse,” though, is the right word. “I think of the Brown Recluse, the deadliest of spiders, and I have a suntan, so perhaps,” Collins wrote in a statement for NASA to get journalists and others off his case. “Anyway, it’s true I’ve never enjoyed the spotlight, don’t know why.” Aldrin, on the other hand, seems to be everywhere, plugging everything from radios to designer handbags, and signing copies of his new book. Neil Armstrong, Apollo 11’s commander, keeps a low profile in his home state of Ohio. He shuns the spotlight but when he does address crowds, he is a thoughtful speaker and exceedingly modest. “I recognize that I’m portrayed as staying out of the public eye, but from my perspective it doesn’t seem that way,” Armstrong said in a 2001 interview for NASA’s oral history project. “But I recognize that from another perspective, outside, I’m only able to accept less than 1 percent of all the requests that come in, so to them it seems like I’m not doing anything. But I can’t change that.” He added: “Looking back, we were really very privileged to live in that thin slice of history where we changed how man looks at himself and what he might become and where he might go. So I’m very thankful that we got to see that and be part of it.”

2013, the surtax would increase to 2 percent for families making more than $350,000 and to 3 percent for those making more than $500,000. For a family of four making $450,000 a year, the initial tax increase would be $1,000, according to the Deloitte analysis. But for the super rich, like a single filer making $5 million a year, the tax increase would be $452,000. The analysis assumes a typical mix of earned income, capital gains and itemized deductions for each income level. Democrats said that for most of the affected taxpayers, the surtax would be far smaller. “What we’re talking about is frankly very, very small amounts for the overwhelming majority of people who will pay it,” said Rep. Artur Davis, D-Ala. The top marginal income tax rate now is 35 percent, on income above $372,950. Obama wants to boost the top rate to

39.6 percent in 2011 by allowing some of the tax cuts enacted under former President George W. Bush to expire. The House Democrats’ proposed health care surtax would increase the top rate to 45 percent, making it the highest top rate since 1986 when it was 50 percent. Republicans complain that some taxpayers would face marginal tax rates above 50 percent, when federal and state taxes are combined. They also say that tax increases on the wealthy hurt small business owners who typically pay their business taxes on their individual returns. Democrats say the tax increases would affect only 4.1 percent of tax filers who report small business income. Those small businesses, however, tend to be the ones that employ the most workers, according to data from the National Federation of Independent Business.

financed safety net programs in the past. Social Security and Medicare are supported by broad based payroll taxes. Although the rich pay more — they have bigger incomes — the burden is shared by the middle class and even the working poor. By contrast, the health care plan working its way through the House would impose $544 billion in new taxes during the next decade on just 1.2 percent of households — joint filers making more than $350,000 a year. The bill would impose a new 5.4 percent income surtax on couples making more than $1 million a year, starting in 2011. Couples making more than $350,000 would have to pay a surtax of 1 percent tax and those making more than $500,000 would pay a 1.5 percent surtax.

It’s probably never a bad time to be rich. But the good times for America’s wealthy could soon be a little less so. President Barack Obama wants to boost income taxes for the wealthy to pay for tax cuts for everybody else. He wants to limit the deductions that high-income families take for mortgage interest and charity contributions to help pay for providing more people with health insurance. House Democrats are planning to hit the wealthy with even higher income taxes to pay for their version of a health care overhaul. Between the two plans, a family of four with an income of $5 million a year would see its annual income taxes skyrocket by more than $440,000. A similar family making $800,000 a year would get a tax increase of $30,000, according to an analysis by the financial services firm Deloitte Tax. “I still think being wealthy is better than being poor,” Clint Stretch, who heads tax policy at Deloitte Tax, said with a touch of understatement. “But this is a pretty high proposed tax burden.” Taxing the rich to pay for health insurance would represent a significant departure from the way Americans have

Friends and family of an Idaho soldier who was captured in Afghanistan prayed for his safe return Sunday, shaken by the image of the frightened young private in a Taliban video posted online. Pfc. Bowe R. Bergdahl, 23, was serving with an Alaskabased infantry regiment earlier this month when he vanished,

STEAMBOAT TODAY

just five months after arriving in Afghanistan. He was serving at a base near the border with Pakistan in an area known to be a Taliban stronghold. Bergdahl is from Hailey, a town of about 7,000 people in central Idaho where he worked as a barista and was active in ballet. A sign that hangs in the window of Zaney’s River Street Coffee House says “Get Bowe Back,” and a message inside asks customers to “Join all of us at Zaney’s holding light for our friend.” Sue Martin, owner of the coffee shop, said she knew Bergdahl as a free-spirited young man with blond hair who rode his bicycle everywhere in town and was keen to learn as much as he could about the world. “He joined the ballet. Then he joined the Army,” Martin said in an interview from a room at Zaney’s, which has become an impromptu meeting place for friends, acquaintances and the media since the Taliban video was shown around the world. “People have been calling and asking what they could bring to show their support.” Bergdahl’s family issued a statement asking people to keep the soldier in their thoughts and prayers but said they were asking that the media respect their privacy. Neighbors and others in the community have known for weeks that Bergdahl had been captured but said the family urged them not to talk about the kidnapping out of fear that publicity would compromise his safety. Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter told the AP that he had been working to keep the soldier’s name quiet until it was officially released. In the video posted Saturday on a Web site pointed out by the Taliban, Bergdahl says his name and his hometown. The Pentagon confirmed his identity Sunday. “We hope and pray for our son’s safe return to his comrades and then to our family, and we appreciate all the support and expressions of sympathy shown to us by our family members, our friends and others across the nation,” Bob Bergdahl, the soldier’s father, said in a statement issued through the Department of Defense. The family, described by neighbors as deeply private, lives six miles west of Hailey on a remote gravel county road. The humble home has a metal roof and several outbuildings, and vehicles parked in front. The family has chained and locked the front gate, and a small cardboard sign says: “No visitors.”

Neighbors are abiding by the family’s wishes not to comment on the record about Bergdahl’s capture but described the 23year-old as an “adventurous” soul who was educated at home, danced ballet and took part in a sport fencing club, the Sun Valley Swords. One of the directors of the Sun Valley Ballet School in Ketchum said Bergdahl performed with the group for four or five years until about 2008. “He’s athletic,” Jill Brennan said. “He just had a knack for it. He’s a wonderful young man.” In the 28-minute video, Bergdahl said he was “scared I won’t be able to go home.” He said he was lagging behind a patrol when he was captured, which conflicts with earlier military accounts that indicated he walked off the base with three Afghans. It wasn’t clear who initially captured Bergdahl, but the U.S. command in Afghanistan said he was being held by the Taliban and condemned the video as a violation of international law. “I’m glad to see he appears unharmed, but again, this is a Taliban propaganda video,” spokeswoman Lt. Cmdr. Christine Sidenstricker said. “They are exploiting the soldier in violation of international law.” With a shaved head and dressed in a nondescript, gray outfit, Bergdahl was shown eating at one point and sitting cross-legged. He choked up when discussing his family and his hope to marry his girlfriend. “I have a very, very good family that I love back home in America,” Bergdahl said. The Pentagon identified his hometown as Ketchum, which is about half the size of Hailey and about 12 miles north. His family says he grew up in Blaine County, closer to Hailey. Hailey is a mix of a working-class community and resort town, just down the road from upscale Sun Valley, a ski resort that’s home to celebrities including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Hanks and Sen. John Kerry. Bruce Willis maintains a vacation home in the area and owns local businesses. Bergdahl is a member of 1st Battalion, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, based at Fort Richardson, Alaska. He entered the Army in June 2008 and was trained in Fort Benning, Ga., said Lt. Col. Jonathan Allen, spokesman for Fort Richardson. Bergdahl reported for duty in Alaska in October and deployed to Afghanistan in February.

Notes from the sports lull

e’re sort of in a sports purgatory right now. With Major League Baseball’s All-Star festivities wrapping up, baseball is about the only sport in full swing at the moment. Certainly, the drama at the British Open and Tour de France were worthwhile and signs that age is really just a number. But as far as professional sports go, baseball still has 70 some games left, and football is months away. So, in the heat of summer, here are some of the notes and musings dotting my mind. ■ Roy Halladay and the Colorado Rockies. Of course it would be nice to see the former Arvada West star come home again, but all signs point to it not happening. The Phillies, Yankees, Red Sox and Dodgers appear to be the front-runners. Philadelphia and Los Angeles are most likely since the teams aren’t in the American League East. Brian Howell, of the Longmont Times-Call, recently reported it would take either Ubaldo Jimenez, Troy Tulowitzki or Ian Stewart, plus three more prospects, to even get close to reeling in Halladay. That’s probably too much. Jimenez is a couple of mental blunders per start from becoming one of the best in the National League. Tulowitzki is the heart of the team, and Stewart is a big, powerful, young bat. I think Halladay gets dealt, but Rockies fans shouldn’t at all get their hopes up. ■ Recently, we’ve tried at the paper to catch up with as many former athletes as we can. We’ve also tried to figure out where recent graduates plan on playing in college. I’m sure we’ve missed some athletes on both ends. If you know of one, are one or think we should catch up with one, please let me know at 871-4229 or lgraham@steamboatpilot.com. See Graham, page 24

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The last piece of evidence Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club cycling coach Ben Clark said he needed to predict a great finish from Linnea Dixson came the day before her ride in the USA Cycling Mountain Bike Cross Country National Championships. Clark lead the team on a ride last week, a day before seven of his athletes would saddle up with many of the

best in the country. One section of the course, laid out on the SolVista Ski Area near Granby, was so tricky that Clark had to dismount. He hauled his bike back to the top, though, and made it through the second time. “Linnea, she’s the greatest student of cycling I’ve ever seen,” Clark said. “I said, ‘Did you see that line I took. I bet you can take that and make it.’ She did make it, and rode it better than I did.” Dixson helped lead the way for the seven Winter Sports

Club athletes who tackled the three-day championships during the weekend. She was seventh in the 15- to 18-yearold division of the Category 1 (Expert) women’s race. Sam Chovan was first in the 19 to 29 division of the Cat. 2 men’s race. Sarah Dixson was fourth in the Cat. 2 19 to 29 women’s race, and Jamie Gay finished seventh in the 15 to 18 Cat. 2 women’s race. Jeffrey Gay was 21st, and Aiden Rohde was 47th in the See Riders, page 24

Jason Marquis would like to put to rest any talk of him being just a first-half pitcher. Making his initial start of the second half, Marquis looked very much like the guy who was one of baseball’s best before the All-Star break. Marquis threw eight strong innings, drove in two Marquis runs and became the majors’ first 12-game winner as the Colorado Rockies beat the San Diego Padres, 6-1, on Sunday. Marquis, who has a first-half record of 60-39 in 10 seasons, is ready to improve the career numbers that show he’s a sub.500 pitcher in the second half. “There’s no guarantee in anything, especially baseball,” he said. “You look back, see what went wrong, whether it’s from a physical standpoint or a mental standpoint and try and get better.” San Diego had no answers for Marquis (12-6), who has a career mark of 30-37 in the second half. He was dominant with a sinker and cutter that produced 16 ground ball outs. “If today is any indication of what his second half is going to be like, we’ll take it,” Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. Ian Stewart and Brad Hawpe hit solo homers for Colorado, which won for the 30th time in 40 games since June 4. The Rockies also took three of four in their first series after the AllStar break. “It’s big for us to come here and win three of four,” Stewart said. “We’re still right in there and it’s huge to come out strong like this.” Colorado ruined the major league debut of San Diego right-hander Mat Latos (0-1), the club’s top pitching prospect. Latos allowed two runs and three hits, struck out four and walked one in four innings.

The Tour de France star pedaled up out of his saddle in a mountain stage, dusted his rivals, and seized the yellow jersey that he knows all too well and covets so much. This time, it wasn’t Lance Armstrong, but his teammate and one-time rival Alberto Contador, who won Sunday’s 15th stage and made a case to be the Texan’s successor at cycling’s premier event. After such a dominant dis-

TOUR DE FRANCE play in which Armstrong finished in ninth place — 1 minute, 35 seconds after Contador and among other also-rans — he sees his chances of an eighth Tour victory fading. “It will be hard. A day like this really shows who’s the best, and I wasn’t on par with what is required to win the Tour,” Armstrong said. “That’s the reality; that’s not devastating news or anything.” He added, “I gave it everything that I had, and I wasn’t the best.”

As the three-week race entered the Alps, the 26-yearold Spaniard recovered the celebrated shirt that he hadn’t worn since his Tour victory in 2007. He made it clear he’ll be the man to beat this year. Race contenders knew that after a week of mainly flat stages that didn’t alter the top standings much, the 128.9-mile ride from Pontarlier, France, to the Swiss ski resort of Verbier was critical. Armstrong rose from fourth to second in the standings but lost time to Contador, whom he now trails by 1 minute, 37 seconds.

Boniface places 22nd in women’s field Riders continued from 23 men’s Cat. 2 15 to 18 division. “All the kids, I was pleasantly surprised with their results,” Clark said. “They worked hard to train for this race in particular. “It was a real eye-opener for them. They had seen regional talent before, but never talent of the national caliber. They all raced really well.” They weren’t the only Steamboat riders to have their eyes opened as World Cup and Olympic riders mixed in with the same bikers who take to every week’s Town Challenge events. Barkley Robinson led the way for the locals in the men’s Pro race, finishing 28th in 2 hours, 27 minutes, 41 seconds. Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski won

his fifth national championship in 2:02:10. A pack of Steamboat cyclists was hot on Robinson’s heels. Brad Bingham was 32nd, Nate Bird 34th, and Jamie Morgan 39th. Kelly Boniface represented the Steamboat women with a 22nd-place finish in the women’s field. She finished in 2:17:37. Heather Irmiger, HorganKobelski’s wife, won the women’s race in 1:55:40. “It started out with a brutal, very brutal 300-yard climb,” Bird said. “Then it was the longest 4.2-mile lap I’ve ever ridden. It was a giant, intimidating field.” Still, he and the rest of the Steamboat finishers were happy to have made the top half of the field. “Everyone from Steamboat

did great,” Bird said. “I’m super stoked. I’m still fired up about my results. That was my first event like that, and to come in in the top part of the pack was my goal. It was great to achieve that and see all my friends do really well.” Also representing Steamboat was Ned Kajko, who finished eighth riding for the Steamboat Gravity Team in the 19 to 29 division of the men’s open Super D competition. Len Zanni, a Carbondale resident and co-owner of Steamboat’s Big Agnes, was 17th in the men’s cross-country pro division. Jon Freckleton was 12th in the men’s singlespeed category, ahead of Doug Karet in 17th. — To reach Joel Reichenberger, call 871-4253 or e-mail jreichenberger@steamboatpilot.com

College football camps start up soon Graham continued from 23 ■ College football camps open in less than a month. That’s a wonderful time of the year. With a few weeks to go, it’s time to sort through my Phil Steele 2009 College Football Preview magazine. It’s packed with info on all Division I teams, in case I have to get into any conversa-

tions involving the state of the football programs at Toledo, North Texas or Southern Methodist. The season officially starts Sept. 3. Of course the big local battle is Sept. 6, when Colorado State University and the University of Colorado hook up for the Rocky Mountain Showdown. Always a good game. Colorado should win

again, which reminds me that the DeLines — former State kicker Steve and current State kicker Ben — owe me lunch from two years ago. With interest tacked on, it’s probably beyond a steak dinner at this point. They may have to put me up for a week. — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

MARYJO WALICKI/MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL

John Mallinger, left, places his ball and lines up a putt while Bo Van Pelt also takes a look during a 2-hole sudden death playoff between the two men during the US Bank Championships at Brown Deer Park in Milwaukee on Sunday. Van Pelt won the playoff.

US BANK CHAMPIONSHIP On the second playoff hole, the 29-year-old Mallinger rolled his second shot in a greenside bunker. Mallinger got out but left himself a 28-footer for birdie that he pushed right of the

hole and settled for par. That would be plenty for Van Pelt, who had a chance on the first hole — also No. 18 — to end it but looked nervous and missed a 13-foot eagle putt. He settled for a tap-in birdie to put the pressure on Mallinger, who made a 5-footer setting up the final scramble.

��

Bo Van Pelt started laughing just before his final putt. He thought back to all those times on his couch with his golfing buddies watching a pro fail in the clutch with a seemingly easy opportunity. Now, he’d left a second putt a little too far for comfort. “Twenty feet, two putts to win, I’d get that done no problem, like that’d be the easiest thing,” Van Pelt said. “Sure enough, that’s what I had and, sure enough, I leave it 3 feet short.” Turns out, it was just the right distance. Van Pelt won for the first time on the PGA Tour in 229 starts with a 3-foot birdie on the second hole of a sudden death playoff again John Mallinger on Sunday at the U.S. Bank Championship and put 10 years of frustration behind him. “It got to the point where I don’t even know if I wanted to play anymore a couple of years ago,” Van Pelt said. “Because I felt like I kept putting myself in these positions, and it wasn’t ever happening. It was definitely frustrating.”

��

Watson squanders chance of historic win One putt from 8 feet was all that separated Tom Watson from a moment no one imagined possible until he was close enough to make it happen with one final stroke. On the verge of becoming golf’s oldest major champion, Watson finally showed his 59year-old nerves. The par putt never had a

chance. An hour later, neither did Watson. “It would have been a hell of a story, wouldn’t it?” Watson said. “And it was almost. Almost. The dream almost came true.” Turns out this British Open was too good to be true. Stewart Cink, who made a 12-foot birdie on the final hole of regulation that only looked good enough for second place,

overwhelmed a weary Watson in the four-hole playoff to win the British Open on Sunday. Cink posed on the edge of a pot bunker with the claret jug. Watson walked into the press center and quickly sized up the mood. “This ain’t a funeral, you know,” he said. Watson stood on the 18th tee one last time, trailing the playoff by four shots, blinking away tears. Thousands of fans who filled the grandstands for the first time all week sat in stunned silence.

Rodeos weathering recession Matt Joyce

As they ride out the economic recession, some American rodeos are bucking the hard times while others are sitting on the fence. Rodeo officials across the country say they’ve been planning for potential slowdowns this year by tightening their budgets, scrambling to replace lost sponsors and crafting cheap ticket packages to draw in crowds. The work has paid off at several events. Rodeos in Houston; San Antonio; Reno, Nev.; Rapid City, S.D.; and Jackson, Miss.; have all seen increased attendance during 2008. “I think everybody was worried and nervous about this, including myself, but I think the nervousness and the worrisome comes from the unknown, and what we’re finding out is people feel like rodeo is a value and they’re coming,” said Keith Martin, CEO of the San Antonio Rodeo and board chairman for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. “The thing I think that’s interesting is rodeo has sustained world wars and the Great Depression and it’s still there — we never stopped.” Martin’s San Antonio rodeo, for example, was up 1 percent in attendance this February to 1.3 million. Most rodeos benefit from the fact that a large part of their work force is made up of volunteers. But they’re also heavily reliant on sponsors, national corporations and local businesses.

David Beckham received an ugly reception in his first home game with the Los Angeles Galaxy, getting booed and confronting a fan at halftime of his team’s 2-2 tie with AC Milan on Sunday night. Anti-Beckham sentiment ran high as the English star returned after missing half of Beckham the Major League Soccer season while on a five-month loan to the Italian club. He clearly was angered by the frequent booing and derisive banners held up in a corner of the stadium where one of the team’s fan groups sits. The homemade signs all had messages directed at Beckham. “Go home fraud” read one, with

MLS a red slash through his No. 23 jersey number. Another said, “23: Repent,” while another read, “Hey Becks, Here Before You, Here After You, Here Despite You.” Another read, “Is evil something u are...or something u do.” At halftime, Beckham walked toward the L.A. Riot Squad section and motioned to a fan to come closer. A man jumped down from the seats and was subdued by security before being taken away. Beckham was the last player to take the field after halftime. He hugged several of his former AC Milan teammates and then turned toward the rowdy fan section and clapped his hands before making a gesture. The banners weren’t displayed as often in the second half when a line of yellow-jacketed secu-

rity personnel stood below the fans. In the 65th minute, Beckham walked toward the fan section to take a corner kick. He sent a bending kick at Bryan Jordan, who headed the ball in from 7 feet to tie the game 2-2. Beckham didn’t join in the play. Instead, he turned and faced the fans who had been riding him all game and spread both arms wide as if to say, “What do you want?” He then gestured before walking away. Beckham left the game in the 75th minute and clapped his hands as he walked off to a mix of boos and cheers. He waved to fans offering a smattering of cheers in an opposite corner before sitting on the bench. It marked the end of a rough week for Beckham that began with him and team captain Landon Donovan accusing each other of being unprofessional.

DO YOU RIDE IN NORTH ROUTT?

The Forest Service will soon be issuing a scoping document for the “Columbine Parking Area and Snowmobile Trail Reroute”. Routt Powder Riders Snowmobile Club does not have the document yet, but we expect it to propose: 1) a summer and winter parking lot further up FS 550 about 1-2 miles likely closing the quarry parking lot, and 2) a trail east of the current route for the groomer to get from State Parks to FS 550. The comment period is expected to be open for only 30 days. For more information visit routtpowderriders.com The website will be updated once we receive the scoping document.
