Lorna Lou Farrow, a local shooting enthusiast and coowner of Farrow Repair Service in western Steamboat Springs, died Tuesday after she was struck by a dump truck while checking her mailbox on U.S. Highway 40. According to Colorado State Patrol Sgt. Scott Elliott, the dump truck was traveling west on U.S. 40 and struck Farrow, 58, when it swerved to the right to avoid hitting a Jeep that slowed to turn left into the Riverbend Cabins. The accident occurred at about 1:30 p.m. in front of Farrow Repair in the 26800 block of West U.S. 40. Farrow was transported to the hospital in critical condition. She died at about 2:30 p.m., Routt County Coroner Rob Ryg said. Friends remembered Farrow as a strong-willed and caring woman. “There wasn’t anything she wouldn’t do for anybody,” said Judd Jacobs, a former mechanic at Farrow Repair. “She was unbelievably friendly.” The Jeep was driven by Maggie Warner, 25, of Steamboat. She was not injured in the accident. The dump truck driver, James Stackhouse, 60, of Hayden, sustained minor injuries. Stackhouse and the owner of the JMG Transport dump truck declined to comment. A Colorado State Patrol news release states that Stackhouse “did not act in time and had to aggressively brake and swerve to the right to avoid striking the Jeep. … Drug and alcohol use are not believed to be contributSee Farrow, page 15

Pajamas not just for nighttime

am hardly a slave to fashion. And so it was no big surprise when I left the house in my pajamas. True, I threw a zip-up sweatshirt over them and pulled a pair of warm-up pants on underneath them, but still, had I been struck by lightning or merely keeled over in the driveway, the authorities would have arrived to discover me in my lilac night shirt. I’d like to say I had a good reason to wear my PJs in public, but I didn’t. The truth of the matter is that I didn’t see a good reason not to wear them. All I had to do was drag a garbage can down a driveway and return home. For this 10-minute call of duty it did not seem worth it to take the trouble to get fully dressed, only to come home and get back in my pajamas. One of the many things I love about living in Steamboat is that I don’t have to dress up to go anywhere. Jeans and shorts are appropriate for almost any function, including the biggies: graduations, weddings and funerals. This took some — OK, a lot — of getting used to. When I moved here, from New York City where most everyone

LIFE IN THE ’BOAT

Joanne Palmer is a slave to fashion (think “The Devil Wears Prada”), I was invited to a wedding of a couple I did not know. I thought this strange but not as strange as the requisite casual attire. “Time of day?” I barked. (I was still a hyper East Coasttype). “Oh, I’m not really sure, I can’t find the invitation. I think any time after 1 p.m.,” said my decidedly laid-back Steamboat friend. “So, a linen dress or silk pants?” “Ah, shorts,” my friend said. “Shorts! To a wedding?” I was incredulous. “Yeah, we’ll be playing volleyball and the wedding is outside, so, shorts.” “Shorts?” I repeated. In the end, I wore the shorts, but only after I ironed them — with spray starch. That was 20 years ago, and I haven’t seen

my iron since. And although the good news is I save beaucoup bucks not buying clothes, the bad news is there are times I have to leave the valley and I realize, with horror, that I can’t wear my pajamas, or Crocs. However, when the occasion dictates citywear, I rely on my tried and true strategy of the three B’s: Beeline, beg or borrow. Here’s how it works: 1. Beeline. I head straight for Déjà Vu, the nice new consignment shop with an equally nice owner. I almost always find exactly what I need at the right price. 2. Beg. Twist the arm of a friend to host a clothes swap party. Yes, I could host one myself, but then I’d have to clean my house. What could be more fun than drinking a little wine, whining and trying on clothes with my gal pals? 3. Borrow. I have tall friends who live in the real world who have been kind enough to FedEx me evening wear, cocktail dresses and wedding wear. Bless them. I pay the shipping, dry clean it and send it back. Best of all, the three B’s strategy frees up funds for other things … like new pajamas.

Suspected scammer arrested Police: Dean Mowatt stole credit card information from guests Brandon Gee

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

A fifth individual has been arrested in connection with what police are calling the “Jamaican lottery scam” investigation, which already has seen four other Routt County residents federally indicted and arraigned. Dean Leslie Mowatt, 31, was booked into the Routt County Jail Mowatt on Sunday and is suspected of theft, identity theft, criminal possession of a financial device, conspiracy, gathering information by deception and violation of the Colorado Organized Crime Act. Mowatt is suspected of steal-

ing credit card information from visiting guests at The Rockies Condominiums in Steamboat, where he was a front desk clerk last winter. Mowatt was one of several workers who came to Steamboat Springs from Michigan for the winter to work for Mountain Resorts through a partnership with the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. According to an arrest warrant written by Steamboat Springs Police Detective Dave Kleiber, Mowatt, a Jamaican citizen, worked in cooperation with four other Routt County residents accused of defrauding elderly U.S. citizens out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Local charges were dropped against the four alleged co-conspirators — Yanique Mendez, Cartina Graham, Simon Guth-

rie and Troy Cox — after they were indicted federally. Steamboat Springs Police Capt. Joel Rae would not comment Monday on Mowatt’s arrest and said it is part of an ongoing investigation. Jeff Dorschner, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado in Denver, said Mowatt is not a part of the federal case and faces only state charges. It was unclear Tuesday why Mowatt is not part of the federal case and was arrested more than two months later than Mendez, Graham, Guthrie and Cox, who were federally arraigned earlier this month. They all entered pleas of not guilty and are scheduled to go to trial in September.

Wine Festival brings top sips, ‘Top Chef’ STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The day Gail Wiltshire heard Boulder fish chef Hosea Rosenberg had been chosen to compete on the Bravo TV cooking competition “Top Chef,” the TeamSage Productions employee and sixth annual Wine Festival at Steamboat organizer called Rosenberg’s restaurant. She made a dinner reservation and drove from Denver to have a meal and pitch the Steamboat food and wine festival to Rosenberg. He signed on as a signature chef and later won the fifth season of “Top Chef.” “Of course we were rooting for him all along, but once he won, the demand was great,” Wiltshire said. Rosenberg is part of a top-notch group of chefs who will display their cooking skills at the Toast of Steamboat Grand Tasting at Torian Plum Plaza on Saturday. He’ll join more than 800 wines, almost 50 vineyards and wineries and about a dozen local restaurants on the roster for this year’s Wine Festival at Steamboat. The four-day event starts with a kickoff celebration and silent auction Thursday evening, officially wraps with Saturday’s Toast of Steamboat and stretches into Sunday with a rooftop event at Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant. In its sixth year in Steamboat, the festival includes focused seminars for culinary connoisseurs along with offer-

ings for anyone looking to taste a few new wines, TeamSage owner Doug Larson said. “It’s something for everyone, is kind of what we always say, if you’re a real oenophile, and you want to sample all the wines … we’ve got those seminar components for the person that’s really, really about food and wine,” Larson said. The festival usually draws about 3,000 people, Larson said. Events that don’t sell out in advance tend to fill up within the first 15 to 30 minutes, he said. For the casual wine enthusiast, Larson recommends Friday’s Stroll of Steamboat Grand Tasting. The event — pushed back an hour this year to run from 4 to 7 p.m. — starts on the Routt County Courthouse lawn and takes participants on a tour of local restaurants, galleries and retailers to sample appetizers and wine. Saturday’s Toast of Steamboat is similarly casual, with a focus on food that includes several cooking demonstrations. Tickets to either event are $55 and are available online or at Central Park Liquor. A local’s pass to both events is $100 at Central Park. New to the festival this year are fly-fishing and mountain biking outings with wine experts, chefs and sportsmen; organizers hope the additions will get festival-goers out on the town and its surrounding areas, Wiltshire said. Stella Artois, a Belgian beer brand, has joined the fesSee Wine, page 16

Festival tickets Tickets for all Wine Festival at Steamboat events, Thursday through Sunday, are available at www.steamboatwinefestival.com. Tickets for the Stroll of Steamboat and the Toast of Steamboat also are available at Central Park Liquor; a local’s pass for both events is $100. For more information, call 879-3428. The festival is looking for volunteers to work during the Saturday Grand Tasting. Volunteers receive a T-shirt and a ticket to Friday’s Stroll of Steamboat.

HAYDEN

Robinson Construction and the town of Hayden could extend their agreement on Lake Village subdivision, meaning the Oregon-based contractor would do more work than planned.

��

Robinson would finish the concrete trails and the landscaping at the unoccupied subdivision in southern Hayden. In exchange, the company would get whatever is left from a letter of credit with Vectra Bank. Hayden required developers to get that letter, worth $502,000, to ensure that infrastructure work

��

was done. That probably would amount to more than $100,000 for Robinson, Town Manager Russ Martin told the Hayden Town Council on Thursday. “That’s their request,” Martin said. “We’ve agreed to do that. See Lake Village, page 14

Time for Hayden, South Routt to pony up

ow that Hayden residents have wisely approved a home rule charter and taken the first steps toward adopting new taxes, it’s time the town passes a half-cent sales tax for education similar to the one collected in AT ISSUE Steamboat Springs. Half-cent For that matter, a sales tax recent change in state law now means Oak Creek and Yampa OUR VIEW also can seek a halfHayden, Oak cent sales tax without Creek and exceeding the previous Yampa should 6.9 percent tax limit impose an imposed on statutory municipalities. That education tax cap was a prohibito match that tive factor in whether of Steamboat’s. Routt County’s other incorporated towns previously could impose a tax to match Steamboat’s. Although half-cent sales taxes for education in Hayden, Oak Creek and Yampa wouldn’t produce anywhere near the revenue collected by Steamboat’s

education tax, the move would be important for its symbolism. Steamboat residents first approved the half-cent sales tax in 1993, and it since has been reapproved on three occasions, including an overwhelmingly affirmative vote in November 2008 that extends the tax through 2019. The 2008 vote was important in that Steamboat voters also approved the sharing of some of the tax revenues with our neighboring school districts in Hayden and South Routt. The issue of sharing those revenues, which reached $3 million annually in recent years, has long been a contentious one. This newspaper’s Editorial Board long has advocated for sharing, believing that it is in the best interest of our broader community to look out for the educational needs of all Routt County students. We’ve also repeatedly pointed out that residents in Hayden and South Routt are part of the work force that drives our resort economy and that they spend portions of their paychecks shopping and dining in Steamboat year-round.

The Education Fund Board, a volunteer group that administers Steamboat’s half-cent sales tax revenues, recently approved a couple of sizable gifts for Hayden and South Routt. South Routt is receiving $90,000 next school year to pay for a curriculum director and various technology upgrades. Hayden will receive about $115,000 from the Fund Board for the 2009-10 school year, including money to purchase computer software licenses, increase Internet bandwidth, hire an intervention paraprofessional and overhaul the elementary school’s fire alarm system. That’s a good first step. A better second step would be for the towns of Hayden, Oak Creek and Yampa to go to their voters with proposals to impose half-cent sales taxes of their own. Revenues from such taxes wouldn’t be used in place of Steamboat’s revenues but could instead supplement the pool of available money for all three districts. While the details could be worked out in time, there’s no question that in the spirit of fairness, the choice facing Hayden, Oak Creek and Yampa is obvious.

The opinion of Steamboat Today is expressed only in the space above.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thank you, Steamboat As the parents and sister of Rebecca Green, we would like to thank the people of Steamboat Springs for your love and concern. You took us into your homes and cared for our every need. Your expressions of sympathy were true and heartfelt. We now understand why Rebecca loved this town so much. Thank you also to Routt County Search and Rescue for all of your hours of hard work and for putting yourselves in danger’s way. Thank you to the pastors and people of Steamboat Springs United Methodist Church for all of your support. Finally, we would like to thank the Steamboat Pilot & Today for your coverage of this tragedy. Our friends and

MALLARD FILLMORE

family depended on your stories and updates in the days and weeks following Rebecca’s accident. Your coverage was thorough yet respectful. There are many other names we should mention, but in doing so we would fail to name someone who we should have. Please know that you have made this awful period of our lives more bearable. We will always remember the kindness and generosity of this beautiful place.

Steamboat 700 vote Growth can be good. In a strong eco-

nomic environment where existing yearround employers are adding to staff and new business/light industry is moving to the valley with high-paying, stable, year-round jobs, planned communities such as Steamboat 700 are viable and desirable. However, Steamboat Springs and the nation do not find themselves in such a position. In fact, a number of economists have indicated that 2010 may be worse economically than 2009. The dilemma for our City Council and community is the commitment of high tax dollars to the unknown by annexing the Steamboat 700 project. Is that a risk we want to gamble on at this time?

I remember Greg Scott’s sense of Letters continued from 8 bers of the council or Chamber who are traveling the country looking for new employers to move to our valley? One visit to the Food Bank will tell the story of half-empty shelves. A visit with LIFT-UP staff will verify the thousands of dollars being spent each month to buy food to feed the unemployed and underemployed residents of Routt County who would like nothing more than a stable, year-round job. We want to know who the developers think will be buying homes in the Steamboat 700 project if there are no jobs to support a mortgage? We have a major issue within the city limits to be concerned with — the lifeline of the community, the long-term viability of the ski area. Council should be focused on commercial development at the base of the mountain or we will not be able to compete with Vail, Aspen and other major ski areas for the foreseeable future.

While we agree with Rob Douglas about not voting on every annexation request, Steamboat 700 is much too large a financial commitment for the council to make without our vote. Whether you are for or against the annexation, we must all be allowed to vote on the issue so council has a clear directive from the community.

Missing Greg Scott I met Greg Scott during a golf trip in Phoenix, and Greg was indeed a great golfer. His sense of humor, stories and helpful hints about the course made it a great four-day trip. Greg raised the roof after a late afternoon round, and about 15 golfers sat around enjoying a few sundowners when Greg broke out his guitar

�� humor ��

and crooned some funny ditties and great campfire songs. A crowd gathered and stayed. I heard the course manager say to the bartender, “Stay open as long as they want, and keep that cowboy from getting thirsty!” What an end to the day, with lots of applause and cell phones calling other local friends to drop in and hear the “Stallion of the Smokehouse” light up the 19th hole. Greg showed me Routt County, Steamboat Springs, the Yampa Valley and all the good golf and hospitality a Steamboat saddleman and singer could bestow. I stayed with Greg and Pearly last September at his home in Hayden. No better Colorado hospitality can be had. I listen to his CDs with a little more sadness, but I have to smile at the last refrain as the man went out “boots on” the way any Colorado horseman would choose to ride off.

News in brief Corna death investigation toxicology report pending The Port Chester, N.Y., Police Department’s investigation into the death of Chris Corna continues, Lt. James Ladeairous said Tuesday. Ladeairous said there are no updates on the investigation, which is pending a toxicology report from the Westchester County, N.Y., Medical Examiner’s Office. An official in the Medical Examiner’s Office said Tuesday that the report is not complete and that the reports take 10 or more weeks to complete. Corna, who owned Slopeside Grill in Steamboat Springs, died in Port Chester just more

investigating wildlife violations only. “I’m not sure if (the Steamboat Springs Police Department) will pursue charges, but they certainly could,” said Haskins, referring to the fact a firearm was discharged within city limits. “I think, at this point, they’re going to let us pursue our investigation.” Steamboat Springs Police Sgt. Rich Brown said he doesn’t think the city will pursue its own charges because the consequences of the DOW investigation are more severe. The 200- to 300-pound male bear was shot in the head July 20 in the alleyway parallel to Eighth and Ninth streets, between Pine and Aspen streets.

The first summer Cody Poirot walked onto the campus of Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School and Camp, musical theater was something he did for fun. Six weeks and a production of The Who’s “Tommy” later, Poirot’s approach to the stage had changed. He wanted to be there all the time, for the rest of his life, making musical theater a career and a future. A 2009 graduate of Steamboat Springs High School, Poirot plans to study musical

theater in the fall at University of Northern Colorado at Greeley. Now in his sixth summer as a student at the camp, Poirot will appear this weekend in a production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic operetta “The Pirates of Penzance.” Shows are at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday at Perry-Mansfield’s Julie Harris Theatre; tickets are limited. An accomplished faculty and talented classmates push local Perry-Mansfield participants to a higher level of commitment and performance, Poirot said. See Musical, page 14

We have no other reason to keep those funds.” But council members were wary about approving anything and asked to see agreements in writing. Martin said Vectra Bank also was interested in putting together a letter of credit to back the second lift of asphalt that’s needed on the streets at Lake Village. It’s unclear who would do that work. The subdivision has been tied up since Robinson Construction filed liens on the project in 2007, alleging that it hadn’t been paid. Developer Mountain Adventure Property Investments since has filed for bankruptcy protection. The subdivision is in the hands of a state Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustee. Robinson Project Executive Kirk Moisan has said developers

told the company to stop work after the liens were filed in 2007. The project sat unfinished and awaiting repairs until the town and Robinson reached an agreement a month ago. A new deal expands that work. “What we’ve been working on is trying to create a settlement agreement between Vectra Bank and Robinson Construction Co. that can be proposed to the trustees so that project can start moving forward, and taking into account what the town would like to have for a certificate of occupancy,” Moisan said Tuesday. The company probably will finish the original scope of work in the next week, and the concrete trails and landscaping would add at least a month, he said. If Hayden officials agree to another letter of credit at Vectra

for the asphalt lift, it probably would be worth $250,000 to $300,000, Martin told the council. Martin noted that the town sometimes grants certificates of occupancy without that second lift of pavement — if it has a letter of credit and a guaranteed date of completion. Council member Chuck Grobe said he was tired of guarantees. “We’ve had how many dates of completion?” he said. “And the Town Board has turned it down, let them go on and on and on every time.” Town Council members decided to wait to see a written agreement at their Aug. 6 meeting. “Here’s the deal,” council member Tom Rogalski said Thursday. “We can tell them we’re interested in the offer, throw it at ’em, and in two weeks, we can still pass or play.”

Perry-Mansfield Director of Theatre Victor Maog has worked ideas from local students and the rest of his cast into his version of “The Pirates of Penzance,” a play that follows an apprentice pirate through love and mayhem. Joel Gelpe, who teaches in the theatre arts department at Ithaca College and has been involved in four productions of “The Pirates of Penzance,” said Maog’s version highlights the overturned logic and absurd

situations Gilbert and Sullivan made their specialty. “There’s a lot of slapstick humor in the show, more than whatever would be used in a traditional production,” Gelpe said. Maog was open to student suggestions about how to make the show even funnier, Stockdale said. The physical, moment-based humor of the show pushes the jokes further, Poirot said.

“The humor is just so out there and so ridiculous, it’s just so grand, and you can’t help but laugh because it’s the most unbelievably stupid thing you’ve ever seen, and it’s just so funny,” he said. Maog said he chose “Pirates” for its broad, often ridiculous and light sense of humor. A whimsical set, collection of two-dimensional props and wildly played acting style give the production a feel that’s more cartoonish than the typical staging of “Pirates,” Gelpe said. Maog said he hopes the show’s overall atmosphere will give audience members a little bit of sunshine to walk away with. “Sometimes we think of art as only deep and meaningful and tortured, but actually it’s a place where you can find great joy,” Maog said.

In an effort to protect the interests of Northwest Colorado’s energy industry, the Colorado Geological Survey plans to apply for a $5 million federal recovery grant to test whether the hills north of Hamilton would be suitable for carbon sequestration. “I thought of the Craig area because the power plants and the coal mines are so important to the economy up there, that carbon sequestration could be very important in the future,” said Vince Matthews, state geologist and director of the Geological Survey. He added later that coal, in particular, may come under increasing scrutiny as Congress moves to restrict carbon dioxide emissions. “Coal generates CO2,” Matthews said. “If we don’t find a way to deal with it, I think the pressure is going to grow to do something else.” Carbon sequestration is an experimental procedure to inject carbon emissions into the ground, instead of allowing them to travel into the earth’s atmosphere, where scientists say it rapidly speeds up global warming. The grant application is due Monday to the U.S. Department of Energy, and it requires a 20 percent match of $1 million. Matthews said the federal government plans to approve 10

carbon sequestration projects nationwide and that he expects the application process to be “extremely competitive.” In an effort to strengthen the local bid, he asked the Moffat County Commission to sign a letter of support, which it did Tuesday after a 3-0 vote. Matthews has not asked the county for a financial contribution. Instead, he is looking for buy-ins among local energy companies. Shell, Tri-State Generation & Transmission and Schlumberger have signed on as partners, he said. Trapper Mining has given its support, Matthews added, though officials there thought it would be “double dipping” for it and Tri-State to donate funding, because Tri-State is a partial owner of the mine. The University of Utah and Utah Geological Survey also have signed on as partners and plan to be directly involved in completing the project if the grant is approved. Matthews would not comment about how much money each partner contributed. Peabody Energy, which owns the Twentymile coal mine, declined to be involved because it is invested in projects elsewhere competing for the same grant, Matthews said. Rio Tinto, which owns the Colowyo mine, and Xcel Energy, which owns the Hayden power plant, both declined to be involved, he added.

Service details unavailable Farrow continued from 1 ing factors in this crash, however, inattentive driving is likely the main cause of this crash.” “The crash remains under investigation, and no charges have been filed yet,” Elliott wrote in an e-mail. Farrow ran Farrow Repair Service with her husband, Gary, and brother-inlaw Dusty. Gary and Dusty Farrow’s father, G.N. “Bo” Farrow, opened the business as a welding shop in 1955, and the business evolved to include tractor sales and repairs. Lorna Farrow managed part sales for the business. Outside of work, Lorna Farrow was an avid shooter, and friends said she was very active with the Routt County Rifle Club, particularly when it came to getting women involved in the sport. “I want women to come out to discover how much fun it is,” Lorna Farrow told the Steamboat Pilot & Today in 2002. “Until they lose the intimidation factor, they aren’t

comfortable shooting guns. … If handled correctly, guns aren’t dangerous.” Routt County Sheriff ’s Office Investigator Ken Klinger, a member of the Rifle Club, said Lorna Farrow was “very active in inspiring other women to learn how to shoot” and was instrumental in organizing events at the gun range. John Rogan, a friend who also knew Lorna Farrow from the Rifle Club, said she was a strong-minded woman who accomplished anything she put her mind to. “She was a great friend, and when she asked you to do a job, she expected you to do it,” Rogan said. “And she took on an inordinate amount of work herself.” Lorna Farrow originally was from southern Colorado. She and Gary Farrow did not have any children. Family members could not be reached Tuesday, and details about services were not available. — To reach Brandon Gee, call 871-4210 or e-mail bgee@steamboatpilot.com

The U.S. House passed the American Clean Energy and Security Act on June 26 by seven votes, which would put emission limits on all buildings and require those that surpass their limit to purchase credits on an open market from other businesses. Rep. John Salazar, D-Colo., who represents Moffat County, voted no on the bill. It must now pass the Senate before it is ready for the president’s signature. Matthews said he estimates the Craig area could support about 46 billion tons of sequestered carbon dioxide, though that includes much more than the Hamilton test site.

Club costs $1 per hour or $10 per day Club continued from 11 that first day. About 75 children attend the club every day. Heather Martyn, who worked for more than a year to open the club in Steamboat, said Tuesday’s event was an opportunity for the community to see what they’ve been doing. Food and drinks were provided and a number of games and activities, including potato sack races, face painting and an inflatable moonwalk, were available for the children. Susan Oehme brought her 10-year-old son, Jason, to the club for the first time Tuesday. “It’s really a great program,” she said. “But it’s also very affordable. In these times, it helps out a lot.” The club costs $1 per hour or $10 a day and is open from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Bruce Dean’s 7-year-old daughter, Anna, and 6-year-old son, Smith, have attended the Boys & Girls Club all summer, in part because of the flexibility it provides. “Whenever I need to work or my wife needs to work, we can

get to go on field trips, and it’s awesome.” Martyn said the Boys & Girls Club will be available from 3 to 7 p.m. after the school year starts in August. She said it likely would be similar to the summer program, with a variety of activities for children in addition to homework help. The cost for the fall program hasn’t been determined, Martyn said. Boys & Girls Club board member Marion Kahn worked with the Little Rock Boys & Girls Club for 20 years before moving to Steamboat 2 1/2 years ago. She said the program is important for the education and opportunities it provides children but that it also is important for its impacts on the community. “Boys & Girls Club is a heart thing,” she said. “It’s never going to be the big money charity in town. The people involved are giving of themselves, their time and money, because they want the community to be a better place, to be a better place for their children.”

drop them off and pick them up a couple hours later, and it’s cheap,” he said. “And they have a good time.” The Boys & Girls Club activities include sports and recreation, arts and crafts, and educational programming. Leadership training, health and life skills instruction and teen programming also are available. Children can earn “Club Bucks,” which then can be used to purchase prizes. Pizza parties, for example, cost 500 Club Bucks. Nine-year-old Theo Hansen said he’s saving his Club Bucks to buy two hunting computer games and some hats. He said he liked playing games in the club’s computer room and on the Nintendo Wii in the rec room, but his favorite activity was the daily kickball games. “I came the first day, and I’ve gone all summer,” he said. “It’s really, really, really fun.” Leah Caragol said Tuesday was only her fourth day attending the club, but already she’s having a good time. “It’s really fun, and I like it,” said the 10-year-old, who had a smiling monkey painted on her arm at the open house. “There’s a lot of fun stuff to do.

decade. Local municipalities and counties have enacted regulations that set escalating fines for unsecured trash and that require bear-resistant containers. In addition, local governments and the DOW work to get the word out annually about the need to secure garbage, lock home and vehicle doors and windows, remove birdfeeders and keep dog food inside. Still, the DOW encounters unsecured trash and unlocked doors at a number of its bear calls, Hampton said. “It’s not a real stretch to go from being a bear that walks through an open door to becoming a bear that tears a door off its hinges,” he said. Though the life of the animals is ultimately at stake, some people don’t seem to care, Hampton said. “They have almost an ‘oh well’ attitude about the problem,” he said.

Wildlife officials euthanized a bear in Aspen during the weekend and another one in Glenwood Springs, in a season that’s shaping up to be a deadly one for bruins lured by human food and irresponsibility. “We just have a lot of bears, unfortunately, that have been habituated,” said Colorado Division of Wildlife spokesman Randy Hampton. “People have trained bears too well.” In Aspen, a bear that had been breaking into homes in the Cemetery Lane neighborhood was trapped and killed, and a young sow was trapped and relocated to the Cañon City area in southern Colorado. This season, two bears have been euthanized in Aspen, and two have been relocated. The DOW has killed three bears in Glenwood Springs and relocated one; two bears have been killed in the Eagle-Vail area. “If things continue like they are right now, this could be a worse year than we had in 2007,” Hampton said. That year, 13 bears were euthanized in Aspen and Pitkin County, and another 24 were captured and relocated. Four cubs were taken to a rehabilitation facility. The sow that was put down Sunday in west Glenwood had been breaking into homes with three cubs in tow, teaching her offspring the bad habits that led to her demise. “I heard she was totally not afraid of people,” Hampton said. “People had habituated her with their trash and birdfeeders and all that stuff.” The cubs were taken to the

Pauline S. Schneegas Wildlife Foundation rehabilitation center near Silt with the intention of eventually releasing them back into the wild, though there’s a good chance one or more of them will get back into trouble, he said. And, the wild is getting crowded. There aren’t that many places in Colorado that are remote enough to keep a bear from returning to the urban environment, Hampton said. “All the wild places people think exist — they don’t exist anymore. And the wild places that do exist are full of bears,” Hampton said. The well-publicized bear that wandered into the Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs earlier this summer was trapped and taken to the Uncompahgre Plateau, south of Montrose. Four days later, it was breaking into homes in the Gateway area, and two days after that, it tried to break into a Grand Junction residence, Hampton said. It was euthanized. Eight wildlife officers working out of the DOW’s Glenwood Springs office are doing nothing but handling bear calls, day and night, seven days a week. They are tired and frustrated, Hampton said. After euthanizing the two bruins during the weekend, an officer was back in Aspen on Monday dealing with a bear that got into an unlocked vehicle and then into a house. Meanwhile, in west Glenwood, another bear rummaged through trash while a crowd of people stood around snapping photographs, Hampton said. “That’s what we are dealing with multiple times a day,” he said. Bear problems in the Roaring Fork Valley have been in the news pretty much annually for much of the past

Court to seek help State lawmakers hear for accused veterans plans to cut budget THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

Shaken by five slayings linked to Fort Carson soldiers within 15 months, a state court in Colorado Springs is setting up a Veterans Trauma Court to help soldiers accused of lesser crimes get help. Efforts to establish the court already were under way before the Army’s July 15 release of a report that found a possible link between intense combat faced while on deployment in Iraq and 11 slayings allegedly committed by 14 soldiers based at Fort Carson between 2005 an 2008. Most were from the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division. Five of those slayings happened in the neighboring city of Colorado Springs from August 2007 to October 2008.

The court would be similar to other veterans’ courts established across the country, including ones in Buffalo, N.Y.; Anchorage, Alaska; Orange County, Calif.; and Tulsa, Okla. In those courts, veterans accused of crimes receive reduced sentences or dismissal of charges if they comply with terms of their plea agreement. Terms could include seeking treatment for substance abuse and behavioral or mental health treatment for post traumatic stress disorder or traumatic brain injuries suffered during combat. Many soldiers who get in trouble with the law are self medicating with drugs, said El Paso County District Court Judge Ronald Crowder. “It’s the right thing to do for people who’ve gone into harm’s way for the good of our country,” said Crowder, a former general in the National Guard.

Gov. Bill Ritter met Tuesday with legislative leaders and lawmakers to discuss the state’s budget crisis, and he warned that serious cutbacks are ahead. In a meeting Tuesday evening with fellow Democrats at the governor’s mansion, Ritter said his administration is working with lawmakers to cut $400 million. Ritter said he will release the plan Aug. 24, with cuts going into effect Sept. 1. Ritter said it will take courage for Democrats to make the cuts necessary to balance the budget as required by the state constitution. Ritter said his Cabinet members are making recommendations and that he will make a decision after discussions with legislative leaders

��

after the Legislature gave him the power to make his own cuts and tap into budget reserves. “We’re in a different time, and in that different time, it demands us to be leaders. We need to state the case for what we need to do,” Ritter told grim-faced legislators. Rep. John Soper, D-Thornton, asked Ritter whether he would consider cutting tax breaks for businesses to raise revenue. Ritter rejected that suggestion, saying Colorado has to compete with other states for jobs and that it would be counterproductive. Ritter said he will meet later with Republicans to get their suggestions. Ritter said even if the economy recovers this year, major cuts still will be needed because job losses and revenue declines will affect next year’s tax revenues.

Under the COPS program, the federal government pays the officers’ salary and benefits for three years, after which the local government is responsible for the costs.

Hundreds protest health care plan

Steven K. Paulson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

Several hundred people, many of them carrying signs warning “Hands off my health care,” rallied at the Colorado state Capitol on Tuesday to protest what they call government-run health care. Jeff Crank, state director for Americans for Prosperity, a public policy group backing free enterprise, told supporters the current health care system has problems, including lack of coverage, but he said a program run by the government would only make those problems worse. “We’re building an army,” Crank told the cheering crowd on the Capitol steps. Crank said people who have insurance should be allowed to keep it when they move to other jobs, health policies should cover pre-existing conditions and the number of lawsuits should be reduced. Jon Caldara, president of the Independence Institute, a conservative think tank, said two of his children needed emergency surgery, and he questioned whether proposed changes to health care now before Congress would have provided the same care. “This is not about good fiscal policy or bad fiscal policy; this is about my children,” he said. Dale Auer, who retired from the military and lives in Colorado Springs, said he got the treatment he needed when he was diagnosed with cancer two years ago. Auer said he was given an experimental treatment under his insurance policy, a treatment that he thinks would have been barred under programs now being considered by Congress. “The procedure I had was leading edge and risky,” he said. Michael Huttner, spokesman for ProgressNow Colorado supporting Democratic Party agendas, said Tuesday’s protest was part of a national effort to discredit the Obama administration. “These out-of-state interests are misrepresenting both themselves and the citizens of Colorado who desperately need health care reform,” Huttner said.

Douglas County ekes out jobs

New figures from the U.S. Department of Labor show Douglas County was the only large Colorado county to see employment growth from December 2007 to December 2008. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said Tuesday that employment fell in eight of the nine Colorado counties with the most workers, but Douglas County had growth of 0.5 percent. Wages in Douglas County, however, fell 5.9 percent during the year. That was the largest drop among the nine counties. County economic development director Meme Dunckel Martin speculated that perhaps the job growth was related to retail and restaurants. The county is home to companies including Dish Network, CH2M Hill and Western Union. It has a yearold pilot program to provide existing businesses with details on potential customers, competitors and industry trends, and the county hopes to launch a Web site in September to attract relocating businesses,

Martin said. “We want businesses that match the skills of our work force. It’s very highly skilled, well-educated. We have a lot of professional, technical, financial services folks. Medical is also one of our areas of high interest,” she said. Nationally, wages increased 2.2 percent from December 2007 to December 2008, but El Paso, Larimer and Weld counties all topped that, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said. The average weekly wage grew 3.9 percent in El Paso County to $834, 3.1 percent in Larimer County and 2.5 percent in Weld County. Among large counties, where at least 75,000 people are employed, Denver had the highest average weekly wage at $1,111, and Broomfield had the highest of all counties, with $1,118.

State Safeway workers talk again about contract

AROUND COLORADO DENVER

STEAMBOAT TODAY

It’s been more than two months since contracts for about 17,000 unionized Colorado grocery workers at Safeway, King Soopers and Albertsons expired. On Tuesday, Safeway was resuming talks with United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7 for new contracts to replace ones that ran out May 9. In the meantime, Safeway and Kroger’s King Soopers and City Market chains have agreed to extend the old contracts until Aug. 15. The union says the chains are making money and can afford to keep benefits strong. Grocers have said they are competing with nonunion chains like Wal-Mart as health care costs rise and the stock market pummels pension fund portfolios.

Americans are looking past the stock market surge and signs of a stabilizing economy and focusing on something more personal — job worries. Consumer confidence fell this month, the Conference Board reported Tuesday, presenting a big obstacle for already hammered stores as they head into the critical back-to-school shopping season. The confidence index fell to 46.6, down from 49.3 in June and weaker than what economists were expecting. It takes a reading above 90 to signal Americans believe the economy is on solid footing. The second straight month of declining confidence followed an upbeat report offering more evidence that the real estate market is showing signs of life. According to a widely watched index, home prices in May posted their first monthly increase since summer 2006.

She was looking at toys at TJ Maxx on Tuesday but trying not to spend money. “I’m a shopper, and right now I’m restricted to what I need,” Sanches said. The weak consumer-confidence reading also pushed stocks lower. The Dow Jones industrial average finished down about 12 points at 9,097. During the past two weeks, better-than-expected earnings reports have reignited the stock market rally. The average topped 9,000 on Thursday for the first time since early January, but worries about the economy are putting the rally on hold again.

Doctor’s home searched Agents descend on medical office of Michael Jackson’s caregiver THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS

Authorities searched the sprawling Las Vegas home and medical office of Michael Jackson’s personal doctor Tuesday, seeking documents as part of a manslaughter investigation into the singer’s death. Los Angeles police and federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents entered Dr. Conrad Murray’s home in a gated community while others across town searched Murray’s medical offices, Global Cardiovascular Associates. Michael Flanagan, assistant

special agent in charge of the Las Vegas DEA office, said the warrants were sealed and that he couldn’t say what documents agents were Jackson seeking. He said he expected the search to last five hours. It was the second time in less than a week that investigators targeted Murray’s property. Last week in Houston authorities searched his clinic and storage. Court records show they were seeking evidence of whether the doctor committed manslaughter.

With toxicology reports pending, investigators are working under the theory that Murray gave Jackson the powerful anesthetic propofol to help him go to sleep, and the drug caused his heart to stop, a law enforcement official said. Murray told investigators he administered propofol in the early morning of June 25, the day Jackson died, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing. The official said Murray left the bedroom where Jackson was sedated and returned to find the star unresponsive.

Obama aims for calm at race meeting Ben Feller

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

Three guys, sitting around a picnic table, having a cold one. Beer diplomacy? The “teachable moment” the president promised? Or just a way for the White House to get people to quit talking about the president’s comments on a racial brouhaha in Massachusetts? When President Barack Obama meets Thursday with the black professor and white policeman at the center of a

national uproar over race relations, he is aiming for a show that will get positive news coverage and then go away. “There’s no formal agenda other than cold beer,” Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Tuesday. That’s not quite the teachable moment on racial unity that Obama talked about Friday when he moved to undercut the controversy that had knocked him off message. Pressed about that, Gibbs said Obama never promised to solve everything with one meeting and that doing so is not entirely

the president’s job anyway. The broader point: The White House wants to show Obama as a reconciliatory force and then try to get people focused back on his plans for health care overhaul. By now, most people know the backstory: Henry Louis Gates Jr., a Harvard scholar, was arrested after police responded to a report of a possible break-in at his home in Cambridge. They found no burglars, but Sgt. James Crowley took Gates into custody, accusing him of disorderly conduct in his protesting of police behavior. The charge was soon dropped.

Decision time for Obama President holds his cards close on health care reform Charles Babington THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

After months of talk, decision time is nearing for President Barack Obama on health care. Bipartisan Senate negotiators are weakening some of his top priorities, leaving the president with a difficult choice: He can give ground and implore disappointed liberals to go along with him. Or he can try to ram through a Democratic bill with his wishes intact, infuriating Republicans. His eventual decision could be a pivotal moment in his presidency. Remaking health care is Obama’s top domestic priority. He wants to expand coverage, contain costs, make insurance more competitive and change the way doctors and hospitals are compensated. Liberals, noting that Democrats control the House, Senate and White House, see no need for serious compromises. Some moderates and independents, however, say a one-party solution would undermine public confi-

ANALYSIS dence in the plan and poison the atmosphere in Congress for the rest of Obama’s term. For now, the president continues to hold his cards close, giving lawmakers more time to seek a compromise that could attract some Republican votes. But many Democrats are impatient, ready for Obama to insist that Republicans either endorse the main elements of his proposal or step aside as a Democrats-only bill is enacted. “He’s going to have to choose pretty soon,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, said Tuesday. If Obama decides to run roughshod over the Republicans, Graham said, “he’ll ruin his administration” by destroying his image as a political healer under a big tent. But many Democrats want Obama to stand firm on his campaign proposals. “Because we want three Republicans to come along on this, we betray what the

American people want?” said Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio. “I don’t think so.” The outlines of Obama’s approaching choice are taking shape. Bipartisan negotiators on the Senate Finance Committee — the panel making the biggest effort to gain support from both parties — are starting to show details of their thinking. In several crucial respects, they fall well short of Obama’s health care proposals. For instance, The Senate Finance plan would require “a much more modest” contribution from employers than would Obama’s “pay or play” scenario, said Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D. In a political system dominated by Democrats, some liberals say a down-the-middle approach would give conservatives and Republicans more influence than they have earned. Instead of everyone giving a little, they wonder whether GOP lawmakers or liberal activists will have to give a lot. Obama has more power to answer that question than anyone. Decision time is coming.

Proposed ‘Cadillac’ coverage questioned Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

��

They call them Cadillac health plans. But a clunker may be hiding behind the sticker price. Senators scrambling to pay for a $1 trillion health care overhaul are leaning toward taxing health insurance companies on policies costing more than $25,000 a year — about twice the value of the average employer-provided family plan. But some insurance experts say the reason certain plans are so expensive isn’t that they’re providing lavish benefits like full-body diagnostic scans and tummy tucks. Instead, the superhigh premiums likely are being charged to older, sicker people,

either as individuals buying their own coverage, or working for a small employer. “Maybe it’s Cadillac profits for the insurance industry, but it’s not Cadillac coverage for the person,” said Karen Pollitz, a Georgetown University research professor who studies the market for individual coverage. “It’s not like that policy gives you health care that’s gold-plated; it’s just the insurance company manipulating those premiums.” Indeed, Pollitz says the coverage that members of Congress get could cost $25,000 or more — if the federal health plan were allowed to charge higher premiums just because of age.

Pollitz did the math. Assuming a 5-to-1 age differential, she said a family of four led by a 64-year-old would pay $31,725 for the standard federal health benefits package — which is worth an average of $13,500. And a similar family led by a 59-year-old would pay $25,600. “The whole notion of Cadillac plans is kind of a made-up notion,” said Pollitz. “A typical employer plan covers all the stuff you’d want and pays 90 percent of the bills.”

Pot ballot measure filed

Marijuana activists hope to legalize drug in California

PHILADELPHIA

The police commissioner has called for a city law requiring bars to report fights to 911 following a fatal melee sparked by a spilled beer at a pub next to the Philadelphia Phillies’ stadium. Three people have been charged in the attack on David Sale Jr., who was beaten and kicked to death Saturday near Citizens Bank Park during a Phillies game. Sale, 22, was part of a group ejected from a sports bar for fighting. “We need to know about it when it’s taking place,” Commissioner Charles Ramsey said. “Then we can get officers there to see that something truly breaks up before it escalates.”

SAN FRANCISCO

Oakland pot activists fresh off a victory at local polls on the taxing of medical marijuana took their first official step Tuesday toward asking California voters to legalize pot. A proposed ballot measure filed with the California attorney general’s office would allow adults 21 and older to possess as much as an ounce of pot. Homeowners could grow marijuana for personal use on garden plots as large as 25 square feet. The measure’s main backer is Oakland medical marijuana entrepreneur Richard Lee, who helped push a first-of-its-kind tax on city medical marijuana dispensaries that passed with 80 percent of the vote last week. The statewide measure needs nearly 434,000 signatures to make the November 2010 ballot. “It’s one more pretty amazing element in the momentum toward ending statewide prohibition,” said Stephen Gutwillig, California director of the pro-legalization Drug Policy Alliance. His group would rather wait until 2012 to build more support for a ballot initiative but would be happy with an earlier victory, he said. Pro-legalization advocates were emboldened earlier this year by a Field Poll that found 56 percent of California voters supported legalizing and taxing marijuana. A similar but less restrictive pot legalization initiative was filed two weeks ago by a group of Northern California criminal defense lawyers. The Tax, Regulate and Control Cannabis Act of 2010 would set no specific limits on the amount of pot adults could possess or grow for personal use. The measure would repeal all local and state marijuana laws and clear the criminal record of anyone convicted of a pot-related offense. Both ballot measures would be competing with a bill introduced by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano to tax and regulate marijuana like alcohol.

PROVIDENCIALES, TURKS AND CAICOS

The handmade wooden sailboat, weighed down with about 200 Haitians fleeing poverty, tried to maneuver through the treacherous coral reefs when it was struck by heavy swells. It had no chance. “The waves broke the boat apart,” said Samuel Been, minister of public safety for the Turks and Caicos Islands. “It was frightening.” Tossed into the water, some managed to swim two miles to shore, while others clung to wreckage or the razor-sharp reef. At least 15 drowned. Rescuers searched by sea and air Tuesday for nearly 70 more believed missing after the overloaded sailboat ran aground and splintered near the Turks and Caicos Islands. The boat was carrying an estimated 200 men, women and teenagers when it struck the reef near West Caicos, part of an archipelago that has proven to be deadly for Haitians trying to escape their homeland in rickety vessels. Such perilous journeys have long been common throughout the world, but the number of migrants risking their lives to cross borders has declined amid increased enforcement in the United States and Europe and because of a global recession that has eliminated many unskilled jobs. Still, people continue to take the chance, including the Haitians

A look at deadly shipwrecks involving migrant vessels from Haiti: ■ July 27, 2009: A sailboat with an estimated 200 Haitians aboard runs aground on a reef and sinks off the Turks and Caicos Islands. Rescuers pull 113 survivors from reefs but dozens are missing and feared dead. ■ May 13, 2009: A boat overloaded with about 30 Haitian migrants sinks off the Florida coast, killing at least nine people including an infant. U.S. authorities charge a Haitian man accused of piloting the boat with human smuggling. ■ April 20, 2008: A speedboat carrying about 25 Haitians takes on water and capsizes shortly after leaving Nassau, Bahamas, a popular way station for migrants trying to reach Florida. Only three people survive. ■ May 4, 2007: At least 61 Haitians migrants die when a sailboat loaded with an estimated 160 people capsizes minutes away from the shore of Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Survivors say a police patrol boat rammed them and towed the vessel into deeper water. A report by British investigators finds no evidence of wrongdoing but says police were illequipped to handle the capsizing. Source: AP archives

Nearly 60 survivors were surrounded by private security guards at the two-story gymnasium, a beige, concrete structure near the island’s small airport. “The people are being taken care of,” said Donald Mettlus, an official from the Haitian Embassy who visited them. “They can walk. They are in good health.” Haitian migrants captured in the region are normally returned to the northeastern city of CapHaitien. A Haitian official there said he was busy processing 124 migrants returned by U.S. authorities Monday and did not know when the survivors from Turks and Caicos might arrive. Been said 50 of the survivors were being flown home Tuesday.

who crowded into a sailboat last week in northern Haiti. Fifteen people died and more than 100 were rescued after the boat failed to navigate a narrow pass between two reefs, according to the Coast Guard and Been, who spoke with 10 of the survivors. Coast Guard boats, airplanes and a helicopter joined local authorities and volunteers in searching a 1,600-squaremile area, U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer 1st Class Jennifer Johnson. Any survivors in the water would be struggling with 23 mph winds and 6-foot seas. “We hope that there are survivors and we can get them medical attention,” she said. “However, as time goes by, it becomes less and less likely because of exposure and fatigue.” Turks and Caicos is a magnet for divers who come to explore its clear, shallow waters and reefs — conditions that also make it treacherous for boaters unfamiliar with the jagged outcroppings of coral that lie menacingly just below the surface in some places. The Haitians had been at sea for three days when they spotted a police vessel and tried to hide, accidentally steering the boat onto a reef, survivor Alces Julien said.

“We saw police boats, and we tried to hide until they passed,” he said at a hospital where survivors were treated for dehydration. “We hit a reef and the boat broke up.” But Deputy Police Commissioner Hubert Hughes said officers were not pursuing the migrant vessel — which did not have a motor — and were involved only as rescuers. “They were traveling in waters that are quite dangerous if you don’t know the area quite well,” he said. Rescuers found survivors stranded on two reefs roughly two miles from West Caicos Island, said Lt. Cmdr. Matt Moorlag, a Coast Guard spokesman. Most were ferried to land by Turks and Caicos authorities in small boats. Five survivors were found on West Caicos after apparently swimming ashore, Hughes said. Been said one Haitian man dove off a rescue boat and tried to escape but was caught. “It wasn’t hard to get him; he was already tired,” he said. Johnson said the boat sank Monday afternoon, but Hughes said it might have been Sunday night. Turks and Caicos authorities reported the capsizing Monday to the Coast Guard, which patrols the region for drug traffickers and illegal migrants and often helps in search and rescue efforts. Survivors told authorities the boat set out from northern Haiti with about 160 passengers, then stopped at an unknown location and picked up 40 others before sinking near the Turks and Caicos, an island chain between Haiti and the Bahamas, Johnson said. She said overloading appeared to be a factor. “These vessels, they are grossly overloaded,” she said. “Two hundred people on a sailboat is astronomical.”

Much depends on how secure they feel in their confrontation with the opposition, which has posed the biggest challenge in decades to clerical rule by calling President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s election victory illegitimate. “The Iranian leaders may actually make an attempt toward a certain level of normalization with the West” in order to legitimize themselves with Iranians who want to ease tensions with the United States, said Rasool Nafisi, a Washington-based academic and Iran expert. Equally, he said, “in order to show self-confidence, and prove that business is as usual, the leaders may refrain from any behavior that suggests a change in their attitude against the ’world arrogance”’ — the

Iraqi forces raid camp of Iranian exiles BAGHDAD

Iraqi forces raided a camp housing members of an Iranian opposition group north of Baghdad on Tuesday in a move that ran contrary to U.S. wishes and prompted clashes. Residents of Camp Ashraf claimed the Iraqi troops opened fire and beat people with batons, killing four people. The Iraqi government confirmed authorities had moved into the camp but denied violence was used against the exiles. The action sharply escalated tensions that have been on the rise since the U.S. military turned over responsibility for

balancing ties between the U.S. and Iran, and Tuesday’s incident could be an embarrassment to the United States since it coincided with a visit to Baghdad by Defense Secretary Robert Gates. The top U.S. general in Iraq said the raid followed a dispute about whether Iraq could establish a police station inside the camp, which is north of Baghdad in Diyala province. Iraqi forces entered the camp “using nonlethal force” to set up the police station without the consent of the People’s Mujahedeen, Gen. Ray Odierno said. The Iraqi government did not inform the United States in advance of its plans to raid Camp Ashraf, he added.

TEHRAN, IRAN

The U.S. is hearing only silence from Iran on its offers of dialogue. Iran’s leaders, who initially seemed to welcome engagement, are turning inward to deal with the postelection crisis. If Iran’s rulers mention the West at all these days, it’s to tell Iranians the U.S. and its allies are behind the turmoil. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his hard-line allies repeatedly have blasted the West, saying it is trying to topple clerical rule by fueling the opposition protests that erupted in the wake of the disputed June 12 presidential election. Still, rhetoric for a domestic audience, no matter how heated, is not a “no” to American diplomatic feelers. Too much is in flux to answer the two main questions: Whether Khamenei and the rest of the leadership even want a dialogue — and, if they do, whether they are in a position to pursue it.

hard-liners’ term for the United States. President Barack Obama’s administration says it won’t wait forever for the Iranians to make up their minds. Washington has set a vague deadline of this fall for Iran to respond. The central dispute for the West is Iran’s nuclear program, which the United States and its allies contend is secretly aimed at building a nuclear weapon. Tehran denies that, saying it aims only to generate electricity. In a fiery July 16 speech, Ahmadinejad vowed to push ahead with the nuclear program. He said Iran wants “logic and negotiation” with the West but insisted the U.S. apologize for its interference in the elections. Iran, he declared, would become a world power that “will bring down the global arrogance.” The U.S. also is under pressure from its top Mideast ally, Israel, which fears Iran will ultimately target it with a nuclear weapon. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak insisted Monday that “all options are on the table,” a reference to a possible Israeli military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Study: Tanning beds deadly ‘Fake baking’ in same risk category as arsenic and mustard gas Maria Cheng

International cancer experts have moved tanning beds and ultraviolet radiation into the top cancer risk category, deeming both to be as deadly as arsenic and mustard gas. For years, scientists have described tanning beds and ultraviolet radiation as “probable carcinogens.” A new analysis of about 20 studies concludes the risk of skin cancer jumps by 75 percent when people start using tanning beds before age 30. Experts also found that all types of ultraviolet radiation caused worrying mutations in mice, proof the radiation is carcinogenic. Previously, only one type of ultraviolet radiation was thought to be lethal. The new classification means tanning beds and ultraviolet radiation are definite causes of cancer, alongside tobacco, the hepatitis B virus and chimney sweeping, among others. The research was published online in the medical journal Lancet Oncology on Wednesday, by experts at the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, the cancer arm of the World Health Organization. “People need to be reminded of the risks of sunbeds,” said Vincent Cogliano, one of the cancer researchers. “We hope the prevailing culture will change so teens don’t think they need to use sunbeds to get a tan.” Most lights used in tanning beds give off mainly ultraviolet radiation, which cause skin and eye cancer, according to the International Agency for Cancer Research. The classification of tanning beds as carcinogenic was disputed by Kathy Banks, chief executive of The Sunbed Association, a European trade association of tanning bed makers and operators. “The fact that is continuously ignored is that there is no proven link between the responsible use of sunbeds and skin cancer,” Banks said in a statement. She said most users of tanning beds use them less than 20 times a year. But as use of tanning beds has increased among people younger than 30, doctors have seen a parallel increase in the numbers of young people with skin cancer. In Britain, melanoma, the deadliest kind of skin cancer, is now the leading cancer diagnosed in women in their 20s. Normally, skin can-

cer rates are highest in people older than 75. Previous studies found younger people who regularly use tanning beds are eight times more likely to get melanoma than people who have never used them. In the past, WHO warned people younger than 18 to stay away from tanning beds. The American Cancer Society advises people to try bronzing or self-tanning creams instead of tanning beds.

US revokes visas of 4 Honduran officials OCOTAL, NICARAGUA

The U.S. government said Tuesday it has revoked the diplomatic visas of four Honduran officials, stepping up pressure on coup-installed leaders who insist they can resist international demands to restore the ousted president. The U.S. State Department did not name the four, but a Honduran official said they included the Supreme Court magistrate who ordered the arrest of ousted President Manuel Zelaya and the president of Honduras’ Congress. The State Department is also reviewing the visas of all officials serving under interim President Roberto Micheletti, department spokesman Ian Kelly said. Micheletti’s Deputy Foreign Minister Marta Lorena Alvarado said Supreme Court Justice Tomas Arita and Congressional President Jose Alfredo Saavedro were among those whose visas removed. Arita signed the order for Zelaya’s arrest several days before soldiers whisked him out of the country June 28. Alvarado insisted the decision would not have major consequences for Micheletti’s government, which has rejected international demands to restore Zelaya despite the suspension of millions of dollars in U.S. and European development aid and the threat of further sanctions. “It’s part of the international community’s incomprehension of what is happening in Honduras,” Alvarado said. “It’s not definitive, and it will not have major consequences for the future of Honduras.” Zelaya, who earlier complained that international efforts to restore him were flagging, said the decision was “correct” and urged even tougher measures.

At least 5 killed in attack on Colombia coca eradicators BOGOTA

Colombian authorities say three soldiers and two civilians have been killed in a rifle and grenade attack on a boat carrying coca eradication workers. They say six people also have wounds and six more are missing. The mayor of the town where the attack occurred, Pastor Yanely, says that while leftist rebels are suspected, drug gangs and right-wing paramilitaries also operate in the area. Officials say the attack occurred Monday on the San Juan river in Choco state, near the Pacific Ocean. The army says eradication teams have in the past three months destroyed nearly half that area’s 1,500 hectares of coca, which is the basis of cocaine. At least 26 of the 6,000 eradication workers employed by Colombia’s government have been killed the past three years.

President of military-led Fiji plans to step down SUVA, FIJI

Military-led Fiji announced Tuesday that its aged and ailing president will step down later this week and be replaced by a former army commander, a move observers say will consolidate the military’s rule in this South Pacific nation. Self-appointed Prime Minister Commodore Frank Bainimarama, who took power in a bloodless 2006 coup, said President Ratu Josefa Iloilo will retire on July 30. Vice President Ratu Epeli Nailatikau, a former military chief, will serve as acting president until the Cabinet and chief justice decide on a replacement. Bainimarama said the 88year-old Iloilo had informed him about his decision to step down during a visit to Government House on Tuesday. Iloilo “demonstrated strong leadership of the country throughout difficult and challenging times,” Bainimarama told reporters. “His Excellency has served Fiji with fortitude and strength.” Iloilo, who has been president since late 2000, was widely seen as being under the influence of Bainimarama even before the coup, when the military chief toppled the elected government of then Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase.

Mike Pelfrey TUESDAY’S offered a much GAME: more succinct Rockies 0 explanation for Mets 4 New York’s fourgame winning streak. “We’re just playing better baseball,” he said. Pelfrey pitched into the seventh inning, and the Mets’ meager offense kept pecking away in a 4-0 victory against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night. Luis Castillo, Jeff Francoeur, Brian Schneider and David Murphy each drove in a run for New York, which matched its longest winning streak since May 25 to 29. Murphy scored twice and contributed several good defensive plays, including a nimble 3-6-1 double play in the fourth inning. “It feels good to win, and that starts with our pitching,” said David Wright, who had two hits. “Yesterday our bullpen was fantastic and today Mike Pelfrey threw about as well as Mike Pelfrey can throw.” The hard-tossing right-hander rebounded from consecutive losses to again fluster the Rockies, running his scoreless innings streak against them to 20. Pelfrey (8-6) got into basesloaded jams in the fourth and sixth innings, but escaped both times. Pedro Feliciano got five straight outs in relief, and Sean Green completed the shutout.

Not since his days at Purdue has Denver Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton entered training camp as the definitive starter. With the promotion comes more snaps, responsibility and a heap of pressure as Orton now resides in the long shadow cast by Hall of Famer John Elway. The legacy of No. 7 has been difficult to live up to. The Broncos have won just one playoff game since Elway retired with two Super Bowl titles a decade ago. Not that it’s a bad thing. Chris Simms, Orton’s backup, welcomes the comparisons. “He’s set quite a legacy here for the quarterbacks,” said Simms, whose father, Phil Simms, was a Super Bowl MVP for the New York Giants when

NFL they beat the Broncos in 1987. “Maybe I’m different than others because of my dad — I grew up with people comparing me to a quarterback all the time. I think it’s a pretty awesome thing to have.” For Orton, this is a far cry from his days with the Chicago Bears, who haven’t had a franchise quarterback in ages and who traded Orton and three draft picks to Denver for Jay Cutler this spring. Orton is already experiencing the magnitude of being the main quarterback in the Mile High City. Fans recognize him on the streets even though he’s been in town for just a short while. “It’s fun,” Orton said of the attention. Just wait. There’s a long list of quarter-

backs who have passed through town that haven’t been able to measure up to Elway in wins, charisma or moxie. Cutler — who boasts an Elway-like rocket for an arm — was on his way, but he had a falling out with new coach Josh McDaniels that led to his trade to Chicago. In minicamp, Orton won the job against Simms. The competition, though, is far from finished. It’s Orton’s job now, but Simms can make up ground. “We’re going to evaluate the quarterbacks just like we do every other position,” McDaniels said. “If Chris is the most effective quarterback in our system by September, then he’ll start ... It’s going to make Kyle a better football player, it’s going to make Chris a better football player and hopefully it’s going to make our team a better football team.”

just couldn’t get a timely hit. The older team’s elimination game against Colorado Springs was a tough one to stomach, coach Tim Bishop said. Steamboat took an early 5-0 lead, before Colorado Springs continued to chip away — scoring the winning run in the bottom of the sixth with two outs, bases loaded and a 3-2 count. “In years past, we would have been happy with this showing,” said Bishop, whose team has been to the state tournament four years in a row. “We were expecting more and wanting more. We were thinking we’re a better team than this. We just couldn’t get the bats going the whole tournament. We did not hit with players in scoring position and couldn’t get that one big hit.”

Danny Armstrong was on. Playing Steamboat Golf Club on Saturday, Armstrong shot an 8-under-par 62. The 62 came when he played nine holes but played two balls. “I just wanted to play a bogeyfree round,” Armstrong said. “It was something I hadn’t done for a while. That’s what I was thinking when I left the first tee.” After recently getting set up with new equipment and focusing on his game, Armstrong said he has been playing the best golf of his life. He missed qualifying for the Colorado Open by two strokes and consistently has been shooting par or under par this summer. “The end goal is it would be nice to be a tour player one day,” Armstrong said. “I took the first step and that’s focusing. Everything is going in the right direction.”

“Everybody knows what we need to do,” Pelfrey said. “Confidence-wise, we feel if we show up here, you can put money on us. I don’t know if you could have said that two weeks ago.” The run of good performances has helped take some of the attention away from the Mets’ front-office turmoil, which included the firing of a team official Monday for a series of highly publicized blowups, and a bizarre news conference in

which general manager Omar Minaya questioned the motives of a reporter who had written about the dismissed executive. For all the disorder with the Mets, the Rockies had been the picture of tranquility. They had won 34 of 48 since June 3 and lost consecutive games just three times, putting themselves in playoff contention. But the Rockies still haven’t figured out how to win in New York, where they have lost four straight to the Mets and 20 of 22 overall. “We’ve lost two in a row,” start-

er Jason Marquis said. “It sounds like we’ve lost 10 in a row.” Marquis (12-7) allowed three runs in six innings, showing no problem with a blister on the middle finger of his pitching hand that caused him to miss his last start. He scattered seven hits and a walk but still has just one win in his past five starts. It was the first time the Rockies were shut out since a 1-0 loss at the Los Angeles Dodgers on July 1.

that everything is for the skater and progressing our career.” Mroz also was happy to escape the hustle and bustle of Colorado Springs for the mountains of Steamboat. “It’s nice because it’s just us for the week,” Mroz said. “We can kind of have our own rules, and we can push ourselves at our own pace. I think we kind of get used to Colorado Springs. It’s nice to get away and have a little different atmosphere.” But the 18-year-old’s focus is clearly his Olympic aspirations, and where he trains is secondary to the end goal. “Ice is ice, and you still have to bring your game whether it’s Steamboat or Colorado Springs or the worlds,” Mroz said. “It’s all about the games this year. So I just take it day by day.” Mroz and Bradley are hoping to gain one of the three spots on the 2010 U.S. Olympic team, so while this week’s camp is fun, it also has a very serious side. “We have a lot of good men; we have three spots, so it’s going to be an all-out brawl,” Mroz said. The women’s competition also will be tight in 2010, but 17year-old Gilles said she is looking forward to enjoying some of the town’s recreational activities

Race registration costs $100 Bike continued from 33 All riders must be licensed with the American Cycling Association. The ACA also decides how far each division must ride. In a stage race, riders must finish the first stage to go on to the next. “Stage races people aren’t really familiar with,” Piscopo said. “A stage race requires each rider to complete each stage before moving on to the next day. You have to do all of them. You’re racing for an overall time and placing.”

Registration costs $100 and can be done at www.bikesteamboat.com or www.bikereg.com. The race is limited to the first 75 registrants in each division. Although it’s in its first year, Piscopo said he hopes to potentially expand the race in coming years. He said ideally, the race would get at least 100 riders this year and that he wouldn’t be surprised to see as many as 300. “This year, if it’s on the small side, it would be good,” Piscopo said. “Maybe in the next couple of years we will expand the reach a little outside of Colorado.”

off the ice, including a trip on Howelsen’s Alpine slide. “This is a chance to get away from our rink and train hard and skate,” Gilles said. “That’s what we come up here to do, to train, but it’s also fun for us because it’s different.” Gilles hopes the hard work at the camp will help her reach her ultimate goal in February. “I want to make it to the Olympics, but it’s a big step that I have to take,” Gilles said. “I need to raise the bar and keep training as hard as I can and working throughout the year. It’s going to be a little tough, but it’s a sacrifice I don’t mind making.”

what it takes to make the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, B.C. The 25-year-old is in Steamboat Springs this week, along with 25 members of the Broadmoor Figure Skating Club, for a weeklong camp at Howelsen Ice Arena. Coach Tom Zakrajsek, who was named the 2009 Professional Skaters’ Association Coach of the Year, is running the camp along with Becky Calvin. “It’s a training camp, so there is an atmosphere of fun and excitement,” Zakrajsek said. Courtney Gill, director of figure skating at Howelsen Ice Arena, said the Broadmoor club has come to Steamboat Springs two of the past three years and built a strong relationship with the facility. “It’s close to where we train, it’s a great facility, and it’s very similar in altitude to what we have in Colorado Springs,” Zakrajsek said. One thing the Steamboat facility also has that the World Arena in Colorado Springs doesn’t, at least this week, is ice time. Zakrajsek said the State Games of America National Championships have severely limited ice time in Colorado Springs.
