A story that impacts us all

n June 2004, after a year and a half of living and working in Steamboat Springs, my parents helped convince me that there was no better investment than real estate in a Colorado ski town. They were right. Less than three years later, using the equity from my base area condominium, my wife and I had enough money for a down payment on a free-market, singlefamily home in West End Village. We signed off on an interestonly, seven-year, adjustable-rate mortgage to buy as much house as we could. Our story should sound familiar, as it is shared by so many Routt County residents who squeezed their way into the real estate market in the middle part of this decade. And why wouldn’t we? For several years, there wasn’t a better investment out there than Steamboat Springs property. Locals weren’t the only ones trying to get a piece of the market. As retiring baby boomers with money to spend sought homes in desirable locales like Northwest Colorado, the buying frenzy shattered previous real estate transaction records — surpassing $1.5 billion in 2007

FROM THE EDITOR

in Routt County. Major development firms from across the country gobbled up property here to capitalize on the out-of-control demand for luxury mountain resort residences. Then the bottom fell out, and with it went tourists, sales tax revenues and jobs. On Friday, the Pilot & Today will unveil Part 1 of a five-part series titled “House of Cards: The rise and fall of Routt County’s real estate economy.” Five reporters, three photographers, three editors and a designer have spent the past couple of months planning, reporting and writing this in-depth look at the buildup and subsequent fallout of the real estate-driven economy. To be clear, the series does not seek to assign blame for what we’ve experienced during the past couple of years. Rather, it’s simply an honest accounting

of how we got to where we are today, how people are dealing with unexpected challenges and, finally, when and how we could emerge from the recession. The series incorporates the perspectives and personal experiences of everyone from Realtors and lenders to small-business owners, homeowners, the local work force, government officials and economic experts. By definition, a house of cards is a situation that is shaky, or in constant danger of collapse. Many of us bought into the idea that Routt County was immune from external forces and that the value of our properties would continue to escalate at unprecedented levels. In hindsight, it’s easy to see how unsustainable that buildup was, exemplified by the subprime loans and risky financial decisions so many residents and investment property owners made. Hence, the house of cards. I encourage you to take a look at our first installment Friday. I think you’ll look forward to parts 2 through 5, appearing each Friday through Aug. 28. The series will be online at www. steamboatpilot.com/houseofcards.

Grant unfreezes Steamboat Springs Police Department position STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The Steamboat Springs Police Department will have one more patrol officer on the streets in the next couple of months, thanks to a grant from the U.S. Department of Justice’s COPS Grant program. The $204,695 grant from the federal stimulus package will pay for a full-time police officer’s salary and benefits for three years, with an agreement that the city fund a fourth year. The officer position is one of 23 awarded in Colorado to 13 agencies. The city requested three officer positions, but considering the tight competition among police agencies, city grant writer Winnie DelliQuadri said any award is a success. “Frankly, I feel very good about it given that the big cit-

ies — Commerce City, Grand Junction, the ones that were funded — look at how big they are compared to us,” she said. The funds will be used to “unfreeze” one of the two police positions that the department was unable to fill because of budget constraints. “We feel very fortunate to one: get the grant and two: I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the outstanding work by Winnie DelliQuadri in putting this grant together and making it so we were awarded that position,” Capt. Joel Rae said. Nationwide, 1,046 agencies were awarded a total of 4,699 officers, with funds totaling just less than $1 billion. Rae said more than $66 million was requested by 105 agencies in Colorado, with just more than $5 million awarded. Rae said he will be going See Grant, page 14

Iowa State University has removed a video from its Web site featuring Community Alliance of the Yampa Valley organizer Steve Aigner, who is a professor emeritus in the school’s Department of Sociology. A university official said the video was removed at Aigner’s request. Aigner “The simple reason was that Steve Aigner asked for us to take it down,” said Steve Jones, director of communications for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Jones said the university has an unwritten policy to

honor such requests. “It’s kind of a non-issue to us.” In the presentation titled “The Case of Steamboat Springs — Experiencing the Classroom,” Aigner discusses the history of Steamboat and his and the Community Alliance’s views about a number of local issues from a sociological perspective. In the video, Aigner says Steamboat “lives on growth” and that the Community Alliance has “fought growth forever.” He says the fact city government relies on sales — rather than property — tax revenues is the result of “bad leadership” and pressure from real estate and development interests that have historically controlled local politics and “didn’t want to deter the buying of property.” Routt County Commissioner Diane Mitsch Bush denied Aig-

A modest 1 1/2 story home at 634 Oak St. is among Steamboat Springs’ oldest and most rare structures. The Bourguin House, already on the Routt County Register of Historic Places, has been deemed worthy of addition to the Steamboat Springs Register. Built in 1891, 15 years after the first European family settled here, its Gothic revival architectural style is uncommon in Steamboat and across the Mountain West, the city’s Historic Preservation Coordinator Laureen Schaffer said. Its notable characteristics include a steeply pitched roof and an oriel window — a window that is similar to a bay window, but does not reach to the ground. The building is owned by the principals in Mountain Architecture Design Group: Ed Becker, Jan Kaminski and his wife, Nancy, who use it as their office. Not coincidentally, the

COMMENTARY

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

59 is the new 30 Thomas L. Friedman THE NEW YORK TIMES

Last April I took a break to caddy for the former U.S. Open champion Andy North when he teamed up with Tom Watson to defend their title in the twoman Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf tournament in Savannah, Ga. So it was with more than a casual spectator’s interest that I watched in awe on Armed Forces television from Afghanistan as Watson made his amazing run at winning the British Friedman Open at age 59. Watson likes to talk about foreign affairs more than golf. So to let him know just how many people wanted him to win, I e-mailed him before the final round: “Even the Taliban are rooting for you.” Indeed, I have been struck at how many golfers and non-golfers got caught up in Watson’s historic performance

— tying for the lead after four rounds at Turnberry, but losing in a playoff to the 36-year-old Stewart Cink. I was not alone in being devastated that Watson was not able to par the last hole and clinch the win. Like millions of others, I shouted at the TV as his ball ran across the 18th green — heading for trouble — “STOP! STOP! STOP!” as if I personally had something at stake. Why was that? Many reasons. For starters, Watson’s run was freaky unusual — a 59-year-old man who had played his opening two rounds in this tournament with a 16-yearold Italian amateur — was able to best the greatest golfers in the world at least a decade after anyone would have dreamt it possible. Watching this happen actually widened our sense of what any of us is capable of. That is, when Kobe Bryant scores 70 points, we are in awe. When Tiger Woods wins by 15 strokes, we are in awe. But when a man our own age and size whips the world’s best — who are

half his age — we identify. Of course, Watson has unique golfing skills, but if you are a baby boomer, you could not help but look at him and say something you would never say about Tiger or Kobe: “He’s my age; he’s my build; he’s my height; and he even had his hip replaced like me. If he can do that, maybe I can do something like that, too.” Neil Oxman, Watson’s caddy, who is a top Democratic political consultant in his real life, told me: “After Thursday’s round with Tom, when we left the scoring tent I said to him, ‘You know, this is a thing.’ He understood what I meant. On Sunday morning, the two of us were in the corner of the locker room without another human being around, sitting in these two easy chairs facing each other behind a partition. We were chatting about stuff, and I said to him, ‘For a lot of people, what you’re doing is life-affirming.’ I took it from a story about when Betty Comden See Friedman, page 9

Obama haters’ disorder Clarence Page

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

As congressional lawmakers return to their home districts for August recess, they could find a creature from Washington’s silly season waiting for them: the “birthers.” That’s the nickname given to the odd activists who refuse to believe that President Barack Obama qualifies as a “natural-born citizen.” The “birther” nickname is half-adapted from Page the 9/11 “truthers” who hounded the previous administration, blaming shadowy homegrown conspiracies for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. I have a different nickname for both groups: sore losers. Obama’s victory, like that of his pre-

MALLARD FILLMORE

decessor, was too unexpected for some people to wrap their minds around, but we always have our imaginations — which in some cases have no limits. Respect for facts did not help U.S. Rep. Mike Castle when the Delaware Republican’s recent town hall meeting was disrupted by a woman who demanded to know why Congress was “ignoring” questions about Obama’s birth certificate. They’re ignoring the “questions” because the questions have been put to rest in most stable people’s minds. For example, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, director of Hawaii’s State Department of Health, has reiterated her earlier declaration that she has seen the “original vital records” of Obama’s Hawaii birth with her own eyes, contrary to the birthers’ charges of a phony document. Hawaii newspapers also have printed photos of the 1961 announcement of Obama’s birth. If there’s a cover-up, this one has been running for decades.

But when Castle countered that Obama is, in fact, “a citizen of the United States,” the crowd didn’t like that. Some erupted in boos. The woman took control and led a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. Within days, the video went viral, helped along by TV news programs, and threw a chill down the spines of congressmen preparing to face other groups back in their own districts. Birther leader Orly Taitz, a California attorney and dentist, has posted the hope on her blog that “each and every decent American comes to town hall meetings with a video camera and demands action.” If so, they’ll probably do Democrats a big favor. Disrupters of meetings in Democratic districts are likely to be hooted down or thrown out. Congressional Republicans had better be prepared to offer more satisfying answers than Castle gave.

Bernstein said to them, ‘That scene is an affirmation of life.’ What Tom did last week was an affirmation of life.” Also, as Watson himself appreciates, the way he lost the tournament underscored why golf is the sport most like life. He hit two perfect shots on the 18th hole in the final round, and the second one bounced just a little too hard and ran through the green, leaving him a difficult chip back, which he was unable to get up and down. Had his ball stopped a foot shorter, he would have had an easy two-putt and a win. That’s the point. Baseball, basketball and football are played on flat surfaces designed to give true bounces. Golf is

played on an uneven terrain designed to surprise. Good and bad bounces are built into the essence of the game. And the reason golf is so much like life is that the game — like life — is all about how you react to those good and bad bounces. Do you blame your caddy? Do you cheat? Do you throw your clubs? Or do you accept it all with dignity and grace and move on, as Watson always has. Hence the saying: Play one round of golf with someone and you will learn everything you need to know about his character. Golf is all about individual character. The ball is fixed. No one throws it to you. You initiate the swing, and you alone have to live with the results. There are no teammates to blame or commiserate with. Also, pro golfers, unlike baseball, football or basketball players, have no fixed salaries. They

eat what they kill. If they score well, they make money. If they don’t, they don’t make money. I wonder what the average NBA player’s free-throw shooting percentage would be if he had to make free throws to get paid the way golfers have to make threefoot putts? This wonderful but cruel game never stops testing or teaching you. “The only comment I can make,” Watson told me after, “is one that the immortal Bobby Jones related: ‘One learns from defeat, not from victory.’ I may never have the chance again to beat the kids, but I took one thing from the last hole: Hitting both the tee shot and the approach shots exactly the way I meant to wasn’t good enough. ... I had to finish.” So Tom Watson got a brutal lesson in golf that he’ll never forget, but he gave us all an incredible lesson in possibilities — one we’ll never forget.

Disbelievers only want to arouse suspicion Page continued from 8 But what? The best they can do is try to change the subject to some of the many more urgent issues facing Americans, like two wars, the economy and the big debate to restructure health care. The Obama birth conspiracy theorists will never be satisfied by something so humble as mere facts. What’s with these suspicious minds? Why is there such an insistence, even after his birth certificate is produced, to have Obama produce even more? I am hardly alone in my impression that at least some of the “birther” movement is a new hood under which racism can hide its ugly face. But, looking at history, I also detect a broader illness: xenophobia, a distrust of people who come from somebody else’s crowd. That’s why I call them sore

losers. Unable to challenge his vote, they challenge his legitimacy. The birther challenges to Obama remind me about the bad old days of Jim Crow segregation in the south, with “literacy tests” (Sample question: How many bubbles are in a bar of soap?) and other outlandish challenges to black voter eligibility. But my fellow African Americans sometimes show more than our share of paranoia, too. Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan has claimed an unnamed “witness” saw New Orleans levees blown up on purpose to flood black neighborhoods, exonerating Hurricane Katrina. Polls also showed a widely held belief among black Americans in the 1990s that AIDS was created in a genocidal conspiracy against blacks. Skepticism is healthy, but I

guess I’m old-fashioned in my nagging respect for the weight of evidence over speculation. It is human nature, regardless of one’s color, to dream up suspicions that might provide plausible, if not provable, explanations for traumatic events. Some, such as African Americans, can point to real conspiracies that turned out to be true, like the infamous Tuskegee Experiment that treated black men like guinea pigs for syphilis research. As the old saying goes, just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean that somebody is not out to get you. But the best response to the endless questions raised by the sore-loser movement is to put the burden of proof back on them. Obama’s disbelievers in my experience don’t really try to win the argument. They only want to arouse suspicion.

He sees other benefits for the festival as it grows, he said. “The second (reason) was that I wanted to bring money into Steamboat to show people that the arts can attract and are so valuable,” Sant’Ambrogio said. From Sant’Ambrogio’s vision, a group from the local arts community held meetings in 2007 and 2008 to begin discussing what a festival would look like. The Chamber added the arts festival to its calendar at the beginning of 2009. “I think we just saw the potential in it. I think we were waiting to see if the Arts Council or some other arts entity in the community wanted to move forward with it,” Evans Hall said. The Chamber decided to get the event off the ground so it could start growing, she said. “If at some point in time we hand it over to another organization, I would be fine with that,” Evans Hall said.

Applications available Home base for the All Arts Festival is the Yampa River Art Stroll. The event showcases local, regional and national visual artists in various fine art media.

having served 24 consecutive months of active duty, Condie said. Condie said he would fill out the application for any veteran who visited his office in the Colorado Workforce Center at Sundance Plaza. Paul Sweeney, a spokesman with the VA Medical Center in Grand Junction, said there are two basic ways to determine a veteran’s eligibility for health care and benefits. They include sustaining a service-connected disability or earning a household income below a certain threshold determined by where the veteran lives. He added that there are some other circumstances that determine eligibility for health care and benefits. One program made available to local veterans is transportation to VA hospitals in Grand Junction or Denver. Condie said transportation funding is provided through a state grant written by American Legion Post 44 Commander Jim Stanko. Stanko, also a member of the Colorado Board of Veterans Affairs, said this was the third year Routt County has received the funding, used to rent cars and pay for gas to get veterans to the hospitals. “There’s a good couple dozen people that have a difficult time getting any kind of health care if this service wasn’t available,” he said. “It’s important. It helps. It’s really helped out a group of people in the Steamboat SpringsRoutt County area.” Another alternative for a local veteran is the Telehealth Clinic in Craig. The clinic, operated

by the VA Medical Center in Grand Junction, allows a patient and nurse practitioner to interact with a physician’s assistant, doctor or specialist through a twoway television, Sweeney said. He said the clinic helps provide health care to veterans where they live and was established to give preventative care before veterans’ conditions became severe enough for hospitalization. In its first year, after opening in September 2007, Sweeney said the clinic saw 800 patients. He said that number has more than doubled this year. “We’ve found once veterans have gotten over the hesitation of coming, they’re more forthcoming,” he said. “There was some hesitation by some veterans, especially older veterans that first year.” Sweeney added that the Telehealth Clinic has helped increase the VA’s enrollment numbers. He estimated that 11,500 veterans on the Western Slope are registered and eligible for health care. He estimated the total number of veterans on the Western Slope at about 42,000, many of whom haven’t applied for health care. Stanko said there are a number of Web sites that provide information for veterans seeking health care and benefits or other resources. He said the Colorado Legislature passed a bill this year to establish a “one-stop shop” for veterans, including a Web site and toll-free hot line that would be available to answer any question a veteran might have. However, with the state’s budget issues and the economic reces-

When Albert Bourguin built the home in 1891, Steamboat was still a town where many of the homes reflected rustic construction methods. The milled lumber used to make the board-and-battenstyle siding on the new Bourguin home would have stood out from neighboring homes. “What had begun as a pioneer homestead for the Crawford family in 1876 had turned into a Western town where citizens sought to replicate architectural styles popular from their past home towns,” Schaffer wrote in a report. The Gothic revival style was only being built in the Midwestern U.S. from about 1840 to 1880, so the style was already on the wane by the time the house on Oak Street was built. Kaminski said for him, it is emblematic of Steamboat’s earliest economic development and the rise of commerce here. Bourguin sold the house to T.W. Parkinson in the spring of 1901. Parkinson would wear many hats in Steamboat. He homesteaded in Straw-

berry Park but also purchased lots in town on which he built small houses that he rented as income property. Prominent in politics, he was postmaster of Steamboat for several years and had a prosperous mercantile business — Brandford and Parkinson. Parkinson sold the house to Irene and James Furlong in 1905. Furlong had arrived in town to help his brother, E.O. Furlong, operate his hardware store in the Furlong building next to the Routt National Bank Building. However, James and Irene left Steamboat and sold the house to A.H. Poppen in 1908. Poppen was a president of First National Bank at the time that building was expanded. After losing a mayoral election by 29 votes, Poppen was elected to the committee working on extending the railroad tracks to Craig. The home has seen 17 owners, but despite some modest additions, it appears largely the way it did in the late 19th century, Schaffer said.

The Pilot & Today published the initial story about the video after being contacted by Mitsch Bush, who expressed her concern that Aigner’s comments about her were false and could damage her political career.

Senate, could be given an administrative position to eliminate the $68,500 annual salary and “not spend time checking on the health of the governor every morning.” The lieutenant governor’s occasional duties of chairing the Indian Affairs Commission is the only official service required by law. Brown was one of several dignitaries who addressed the committee before its members took testimony from the general public. Former Republican state Sen. Norma Anderson suggested lawmakers eliminate many of the tax breaks that were approved when the economy was booming, and she urged them to avoid trying to take money from Lottery proceeds that now go to preserve open space, warning there would be too much political opposition.

Requiring students with college scholarships to work, and giving parents cash if they send their children to private schools were among the recommendations state lawmakers heard Wednesday when they asked the public for ideas to solve the state’s budget crisis. Former U.S. Brown Sen. and former state Sen. Hank Brown told the Legislature’s fiscal stability committee that Colorado has a lean budget compared with other states because of tough tax and spending limits, but there are ways to make government more efficient.

He said colleges could convert direct scholarships to workstudy scholarships to get jobs done that would require extra spending. Parents also could be offered $2,000 to send their children to private schools instead of public schools. Brown said the Legislature could also eliminate the Colorado Commission on Higher Education, which he thinks failed to rein in spending on higher education. “We went through a phase in Colorado where we added a community college or a state college or a university in just about every place that had a gas station in the state of Colorado. Even the people who voted for all of those things realized we were carried away,” he said. Brown said the lieutenant governor, whose duties no longer include presiding over the state

AROUND COLORADO DENVER

Bankruptcy records show the failed New Frontier Bank in Greeley financed about $9.6 million in loans for business deals of a former director who later was convicted of theft in a mortgage scheme. A bankruptcy court filing in March by former director Dean Juhl shows he got at least five loans from the bank, and the mostly unsecured notes were still on the books when the bank was shut down by regulators in April, The Denver Post reported Wednesday. Regulators had accused the bank of unsound practices in December. Juhl, 63, resigned from the bank’s board in March 2007. Juhl had $50 million in debt to various creditors including New Frontier while he helped run or invested in several companies, including a Deals on Wheels car enterprise and JS Real Estate. Colorado law does not bar banks from making loans to felons or limit borrowing for former directors, but bank boards must closely monitor loans to its executives. Two of the loans Juhl documented were for a total of $2.8 million in August 2008, six months after he was convicted of theft in Weld County connected to a mortgage scheme operated through JS Real

Estate, The Denver Post reported. Authorities allege Juhl and business partner Mark Strodtman induced cashstrapped homebuyers to purchase homes, then kept the mortgage money, leaving clients facing foreclosure. Juhl, who served a month in jail, declined to comment. Strodtman was captured in Mexico and faces a November trial on theft, forgery and racketeering charges. A phone number for Strodtman couldn’t be found. Former New Frontier President Larry Seastrom said the bank had provided properly vetted loans to JS Real Estate before any fraudulent activities were exposed.

1 found dead in burned home in Denver suburb LAKEWOOD

Firefighters say one person was found dead in the rubble of a burned home in the Denver suburb of Lakewood. The West Metro Fire District says firefighters found the body in an area where the roof had collapsed after the Tuesday night fire. The cause of the fire is under investigation. The victim’s name hasn’t been released. Firefighters rescued two dogs

from the fire. One was transported to an animal hospital.

Dad jailed for smothering, biting and shaking baby LAFAYETTE

Authorities say a Lafayette baby is in critical condition after he was bitten, shaken and smothered, and his father was arrested on suspicion of child abuse. Authorities say 2-month-old Jack Koller was hospitalized July 21 with a skull fracture, bruises and bite marks. An arrest warrant affidavit says Jack has extensive brain damage and may not be able to walk, talk or feed himself if he survives. His father, 26-year-old Benjamin Koller, is being held under $1 million bail at the Boulder County jail. Prosecutors say they expect to formally file charges Friday. District Attorney Stan Garnett says detectives interviewed the baby’s mother, 20-year-old Jennifer Schmidt. Prosecutors haven’t decided whether to file charges against her.

Microsoft challenges Google Software company joins forces with Yahoo to take down No. 1 Michael Liedtke and Jessica Mintz THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO

Microsoft finally persuaded Yahoo to surrender control of the Internet’s second most popular search engine and join it in a daunting battle — taking on the overwhelming dominance of Google in the online advertising market. A 10-year deal announced Wednesday gives Microsoft its best shot to show its new search technology, Bing, is as good as or better than Google’s. Microsoft also hopes to use Yahoo to divert sales from Google, which generates more than $20 billion a year from ads. Gaining access to Yahoo’s audience would instantly more than triple Bing’s U.S. market share to 28 percent. That’s still a far cry from the remarkable 65 percent of U.S. searches handled by Google, according to the research firm comScore. By joining forces, Microsoft and Yahoo are betting they will be able to focus on their respective strengths. By turning over responsibility for search technology to Microsoft, Yahoo can concentrate on sales of billboard-style advertising on the Web — and figuring out how to keep luring traffic to its Web sites, which already attract more than 570 million people worldwide every month. While the agreement shapes up as a potential boon for Microsoft, it was greeted in the stock market as a letdown for Yahoo. Just 14 months ago, Microsoft dangled $9 billion in front of Yahoo in an attempt to forge a search advertising partnership, only to be rebuffed. Yahoo had also turned down Microsoft’s $47.5 billion bid to buy the entire company. Yahoo has been struggling so badly since then that Microsoft isn’t paying any money in advance. Instead, it will give Yahoo 88 percent of the search ad sales made on its Web site, above the usual commission of 70 to 80 percent. By spending less on its own search technology, Yahoo expects to boost its annual operating profit by about $500 million — but not until 2012, when the two companies expect to have all the pieces of a complex technological puzzle in place. “I think a lot of people are kind of looking at the numbers and seeing a lot of question marks where they expected to see exclamation points,” said Scott Kessler, a Standard & Poor’s equity analyst. Yahoo shares plunged $2.08,

or 12 percent, to $15.14 as investors expressed disappointment about the absence of an immediate windfall. Microsoft shares gained 33 cents to $23.80 while Google shares shed $3.61 to $436.24. It took Carol Bartz, Yahoo’s chief executive, just six months to strike a deal with Microsoft — something that neither of her predecessors, Terry Semel

and Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang, seemed interested in doing. “This move makes up for a lot of the stupid mistakes made by the preceding administration,” said technology analyst Rob Enderle, who thinks Yahoo will be able to devote more energy to developing services to compete with online hangouts like Facebook.

After weeks of turmoil, House Democrats reached a shaky peace with the party’s rebellious rank-and-file conservatives Wednesday and cleared the way for a vote in September on sweeping health care legislation. Bipartisan Senate negotiators reported progress, too, on a bill said to extend coverage to 95 percent of all Americans without raising federal deficits. “We’re on the edge, we’re almost there,” said Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, the senior Republican involved in the secretive talks, although a fellow GOP participant, Sen. Mike Enzi, of Wyoming, dissented strongly. Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., chairman of the Finance Committee, said preliminary estimates from congressional budget experts showed the cost of the emerging Senate plan was below $900 billion and would result in an increase in employer-sponsored insurance — conclusions that may reassure critics who fear a bloated

bill that prompts businesses to abandon the coverage they currently provide.

Terrorism suspects were stopped in Israel in 2007 RALEIGH, N.C.

Israel denied entry two years ago to members of a North Carolina family that includes three men accused of plotting to execute terrorism attacks in foreign countries, an official said Wednesday. Daniel Boyd, 39, was arrested Monday with six others, including two sons. Authorities claim Boyd was the ringleader of a group that was gearing up for a “violent jihad,” though prosecutors haven’t detailed any specific targets or timeframe. If convicted, the men could face life in prison. An eighth suspect is thought to be in Pakistan. Boyd’s wife, Sabrina, told a Raleigh newspaper that he and one of their sons flew to Israel in 2007 to visit Muslim holy sites but were denied entry and detained for two days. That fol-

lowed a trip Daniel Boyd made with another son, who is not charged, to Israel a year earlier. She denied any malevolent motive for their visits. The U.S. indictment said Boyd and two sons — Zakariya, 20, and Dylan, 22 — traveled to Israel in July 2007 to meet with two of the other defendants but returned home “having failed in their attempt at violent jihad.”

Trustee sues Madoff’s wife, Ruth, for nearly $45 million NEW YORK

The trustee overseeing the liquidation of Bernard Madoff’s assets sued the disgraced money manager’s wife Wednesday, asking for nearly $45 million that he says was spent on “a life of splendor.” Trustee Irving H. Picard spelled out his claims in a lawsuit against Ruth Madoff in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan. Ruth Madoff several weeks ago moved out of a $7 million Manhattan penthouse where she and her husband had lived during their 49-year marriage.

Iran to begin 1st Haitian: Those who trials of protesters couldn’t swim died Lee Keath

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAIRO

��

Iran’s leadership faced sharp criticism Wednesday from top clerics and even conservative supporters about prison abuses, including detainee deaths and the brutal beatings of protesters arrested in the post-election crackdown. In a move likely to anger the opposition, officials announced the first trials will begin Saturday, with the prosecution of about 20 protesters. They include some accused of sending images of the unrest to the media. Top pro-reform politicians will be tried later for allegedly ordering riots, officials said. The opposition has said detainees were tortured to extract false confessions for the courts. The bodies of several young protesters have been turned over to their families in recent weeks, all showing signs of beatings or other abuse while in custody, according to proopposition Web sites, citing accounts from relatives. Among them was the son of a prominent conservative, which has brought a wave of criticism from the camp that generally

backs the government. Opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi and his allies were planning a ceremony Thursday in the sprawling Behesht-e Zahra cemetery outside Tehran to honor those who died in the fierce suppression of the protests. Supporters also plan rallies in various parts of the capital — raising the likelihood of new clashes with security forces. Putting further pressure on Iran’s leadership, several top theologians harshly condemned the crackdown — a significant show of anger from the Islamic republic’s spiritual patrons. One of them, outspoken dissident Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri, derided an order by the supreme leader this week to close Kahrizak prison, where at least one detainee was killed. “Can the government deceive people by closing a detention center and blaming all the faults on a building?” he said in a statement Wednesday. “What benefit does the government gain from the crisis, except angering the majority of the people and weakening the Islamic republic?” he asked, demanding the prosecution of those responsible for abuses.

CAP-HAITIEN, HAITI

There was no warning when the overloaded sailboat plowed into a coral reef and began to break apart. In the darkness, some 200 migrants were plunged into the water, grabbing desperately at anything that might help keep them afloat. Joanel Pierre, a skinny 18year-old, lifted his gray T-shirt on Wednesday to display the scratches clawed into his body by drowning shipmates. “The ones who knew how to swim, swam,” he said, speaking quietly and averting his eyes. “The ones who didn’t, died.” Fifteen bodies had been recovered Wednesday, and another 70 people remained missing as the U.S. Coast Guard warned that prospects for finding more survivors were becoming dim. The blue and white sailboat set out before dawn Saturday filled with people from miserably poor northern Haiti. Their families had saved up $500 apiece to send them to what Haitians call “the other side of the water.” By the time the first rescuers arrived, the survivors had been in the 15-foot-deep water for 17 hours.

A new opposition group registered surprising gains in weekend elections in the self-ruled Kurdish north, but the two ruling parties that have clashed with Baghdad about disputed land and oil maintained a strong grip on power, officials said Wednesday. Saturday’s presidential and parliamentary elections in the three northern Kurdish provinces were closely watched because the U.S. military and others think friction between the Kurds and the Arab-dominated central government poses the greatest threat to security in Iraq.

At this point in his season, nerves are never the biggest problem for Frank Ruppel. The 10-year-old local swimmer admits the first meet of the season might carry some nerves, but after that, it’s all excitement. And judging from his performance at this past weekend’s Junior Olympics in Fort Collins, Frank has plenty to be excited about. Frank finished fifth in the 50-meter backstroke, fifth in the 100 back, sixth in the 100 butterfly, 11th in the 100 free and 11th in the 200 individual medley. The big coup came when Frank finished first in the 50 fly, cutting three seconds off his best time to hit his last zone mark. Frank already had hit two zone marks, and his third qualified him for Team Colorado. Unfortunately, since Frank qualified so late in the season, the team already is full. Still, that couldn’t hinder the excitement. “Before (the 50 fly), I wanted it the most. I knew I wanted it more than anyone in this thing,” Frank said Wednesday. “I got in blocks and was ahead of them in the beginning, and I swam faster. When I got out, I was so happy. I smiled and was like, ‘Yes. Thank you, thank you, thank you.’” Steamboat’s other local competitor, Keala Fraioli, also showed well. She finished 12th in the 50 breast and 16th in 100 breast. Frank said it was by far the biggest and most competitive meet he had been to. Despite swimming so many events — including the 50 free, 100 back and 200 IM, all in one day — he said his emotions and adrenaline carried him through. “My best experience was getting first in the state,” he said. “But it was a big relief of getting the zone times.”

But luckily, I just saved double,” Lauinger said. “I hit the telephone pole, and it bounced out of bounds.” Lauinger rebounded with a birdie on his second-to-last hole to dampen any hopes that Branstetter, the second-place finisher, had of moving past the leader. “I was looking for an opportunity, but it just didn’t happen,” Branstetter said. “I knew I was in the running, but he was pretty far ahead of me the whole time.” Lauinger’s family comes to Steamboat Springs for several weeks each summer to vacation, and he plays in the Cowboy Shootout when possible.

Michael Phelps had another swimsuit issue. It didn’t slow him down this time. Phelps bounced back from a stunning loss with something more familiar — a world record in the 200meter butterfly Wednesday. For good measure, he surpassed another of Mark Spitz’s Phelps accomplishments with the 34th world record of his career, one more than Spitz had during his brilliant run in the pool. One night after he was soundly beaten by Germany’s Paul Biedermann, Phelps sliced the time in what he calls his “bread and butter” to 1 minute, 51.51 seconds, more than a half-second lower than his gold medalwinning time of 1:52.03 at the

Beijing Olympics. With all the hullabaloo about swimsuits, everyone wondered about Phelps’ decision to wear one that stretched only from his waist to his ankles, leaving his upper body bare. Was he trying to make a fashion statement? “No, that didn’t even cross my mind,” Phelps said. “It was just me being comfortable.” Actually, he had planned to wear a Speedo bodysuit, only to discover during warmups the one he brought to the Foro Italico was too tight in the shoulders. So he went back to the legsuit, which he prefers in the fly anyway. “He actually warmed up with the full body, and he just said it felt too tight, and he took it off,” Phelps’ coach Bob Bowman said. “Then I noticed he hadn’t shaved his chest, but I’m like, ‘Don’t worry about it. I don’t think you have much hair.”’ Phelps went out much faster than he normally does in the fly, and paid for it on the final push to the wall. His arms were burning. His legs, too. But there was

no way he was losing again. He surged to the wall a body length ahead of silver medalist Pawel Korzeniokski, of Poland, with Japan’s Takeshi Matsuda settling for bronze. Phelps whipped around quickly to see his time and held up his right index finger when the “WR” was posted. “I wanted to step on it in the first 100 to get out there in the clean water, and that’s pretty much what happened,” Phelps said. “It was a lot more pain last night than tonight.” On Tuesday, he was blown out of the water by Germany’s Paul Biedermann, who routed Phelps in the 200 freestyle and also snatched away his world record. Most of the talk afterward was about what they were wearing — and there wasn’t a red carpet in sight. Biedermann was in a polyurethane Arena X-Glide suit, which everyone concedes produces much faster times than Phelps’ year-old Speedo LZR Racer.

Daly’s ’boring’ life to become reality show Larry Lage

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GRAND BLANC, MICH.

Really, John Daly insists he’s not a beer-swilling, trouble-making guy anymore. Daly said Wednesday an upcoming reality show on the Golf Channel, featuring him, will provide a glimpse of his new-andimproved boring life. “I’m more laid back,” he said between puffs of a cigarette in the parking lot of Warwick Hills, the site of this week’s Buick Open. “It won’t have the hustle and bustle as the last show.” The Golf Channel had a 13-

GOLF part series “The Daly Planet” in 2006, showcasing his wild life. The first of at least eight episodes of the yet-to-be-named reality show will air in early 2010. “I think ‘Out of the Rough’ is the perfect title,” Daly said. The popular player said he’s focusing on his golf career, which has been marked by the highs of winning the British Open and PGA Championship and lows created by problems outside the ropes. Daly returned to the PGA Tour earlier this year after a six-month suspension, the second time the

tour has suspended him for unbecoming conduct. Two other times, he agreed to sit out to get his life in order. He has been to alcohol rehab twice, has been married three times and wrote an autobiography that was as much about drinking, sex and gambling as it was about his golf. “I haven’t had a drink in a while,” Daly said. Golf Channel senior producer Al Pollock, who has known Daly since 1994 and has been with him during filming of the upcoming show, said he hasn’t seen Daly have a sip of alcohol in a long time.

safeties Brian Dawkins and Renaldo Hill and cornerback Andre Goodman, and also are counting on the return to health of Pro Bowl cornerback Champ Bailey, who missed most of last season with a groin injury. An aggressive, physical defender, Smith finished his Wake Forest career with a school record 61 pass breakups and he returned four of his 21 career interceptions for touchdowns. He also blocked five punts while displaying speed and elusiveness as a returner on punts and kickoffs and stopping power on special teams cover units. Projected as a first-round talent, Smith may have slipped into the second round because, at 5foot-9, he could be considered somewhat undersized in matchups against the bigger, physical receivers that are commonplace in the NFL.

John Wooden’s friends, family and former players all say they didn’t need an award from a national magazine to confirm the identity of the greatest coach in American sports history. Yet the Sporting News made it official Wednesday, recognizing the 98-year-old Wooden as the pinnacle of a profession that was redefined by the UCLA coach over his unmatched career in Westwood. During a luncheon in the John Wooden Room at one of his favorite restaurants in Sherman Oaks, the coach saw the real reward for a life spent teaching, mentoring and improving lives: A room packed to overflowing with the recipients of those lessons, from his daughter, Nan, to current UCLA coach Ben Howland, to former Bruins cen-

ter Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. “I thank you all for the very kind words,” Wooden said in a voice altered but not slowed by age. “No one can really honestly be the very best, no one ... (but) these youngsters that have spoken — and some of them aren’t so young anymore — they’re the ones that make the coaches.” Former Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi was second behind Wooden, who received 57 first-place votes from a panel of 118 sports experts assembled by Sporting News. Alabama football coach Bear Bryant was third, with the NBA’s Phil Jackson and football’s Don Shula fifth. Wooden arrived at the luncheon in a wheelchair after a series of minor health setbacks in recent years, but the coach still has an appetite for conversation and a hearty lunch. He sat at a table with Howland, UCLA

Athletic Director Dan Guerrero and former players AbdulJabbar, Marques Johnson and Andy Hill, while several other players gathered next to him. “You get older, your memory gets a little bad, but a lot of other things get worse,” Wooden said during a short lapse in his train of thought. Wooden won 10 national championships at UCLA, winning more than 80 percent of his games over 27 seasons. The Indiana native has been in the Basketball Hall of Fame since 1961, and has kept busy as a speaker and teacher since his retirement from UCLA in 1975. “It was really very easy, I think, for the people on the panel to vote for this award,” said Howland, who has reached three Final Fours in his first six seasons at UCLA. “He was the greatest teacher ever. His integrity, the way he lives his life, is a model for all of us.”

blocker and special teams tackler during his career at Wake Forest. “Alphonso’s role will be determined by what Alphonso does,” McDaniels said about Smith, who was drafted in the second round with the pick the Broncos obtained from Seattle in exchange for their 2010 firstround pick. “We’re going to evaulate him. We’re going to put him in many positions. I’ll give him as many opportunities as he can to carve out a great role for himself, just like we will with the rest of our secondary. But his attitude is great and we’re hopeful for good things from him all year long.” Smith, who led the nation with 15 interceptions in his last two seasons at Wake Forest, figures prominently in the remaking of a Broncos secondary that struggled to hold up last season. The Broncos also added free agent

The tattoo on Alphonso Smith’s shoulder depicts a coiled panther ready to strike. Above the black-inked predator are the words, “Hungry for more.” “As soon as cats in the wild relax, even for a little bit, guess what? They can be fooled. They can get passed up easily,” the Denver Broncos rookie cornerback said after Wednesday’s training camp practice. “That’s why I got it,” added Smith, who had the tattoo embedded into his shoulder three years ago. “It’s a constant reminder for me that there’s no time to relax. You can’t be content. There’s always more to achieve.” Broncos Coach Josh McDaniels is giving Smith every chance to do just that, refusing to place any limitations on his development or narrowly define a role for a player who excelled as a defensive back, return man, punt

NEW YORK

Former New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress testified Wednesday before the grand jury that is investigating weapons charges against him and told reporters outside that he was sorry for his actions. “I was truthful, I was honest, and I’m truly remorseful for what I’ve done and for what happened,” Burress said outside

a Manhattan courthouse. Burress’ attorney, Benjamin Brafman, said the one-time Super Bowl star wanted to address the grand jury. “I agreed that in order to humanize him they needed to see who he was and what this man was about,” Brafman said. The 31-year-old Burress shot himself in the thigh at a Manhattan nightclub in November. He was charged with weapon possession and faces up to 3 1/2 years in prison. He has

pleaded not guilty and is free on $100,000 bail. The Giants released him in April. The New York Post reported earlier this week that Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau is insisting on jail time. Morgenthau’s office has declined to comment to The Associated Press. Brafman criticized Morgenthau for speaking out, saying the district attorney’s comments could prejudice the grand jury proceedings.

COMMENTARY

The gamblers of Philadelphia have to be trembling with excitement at the thought of driving just a few miles this fall to place bets on their beloved Eagles. It may not be long before Delaware lures them all with the promise of new point spreads every week. Of course, everyone knows Dahlberg what will happen to these poor fools. They’ll blow money being saved to pay the overdue home improvement loan and have to sell the minivan to pay the heating bill. There will be no summer camp for the kids next year because dad blew it on what seemed like a sure bet, say the Eagles, plus a point, over Carolina in the season opener. Worse yet, a few of them might get together to see if they can pool enough of their money to somehow convince Donovan McNabb to throw a few games. Oh, the horrors that await if Delaware goes ahead with a plan to offer sports betting! Listen to the NFL, and the idea of taking legal bets on the Eastern seaboard is more of a threat to the game than allowing Michael Vick to run a doggie day care center. To prevent the sports proposal from happening, the NFL is teaming up with the other three major leagues and the NCAA to keep Delaware out of the bookie business. They’re asking a federal judge to prohibit betting even as much as one $5 parlay, lest their sports be ruined forever. The whole thing is so hypocritical it’s laughable, though that hasn’t stopped the NFL

before. Gamblers helped found the league and gambling helped make it what it is, but the league takes such a high moral ground on the issue that its television contracts prohibit announcers from discussing point spreads during games. Funny, but those same moral values are somehow overlooked when it comes to making millions for team owners. You can throw away your money on NFL-sponsored lottery tickets because the league cashes in on those, but dare to actually make a wager that doesn’t depend on sheer, blind luck and suddenly lawyers start drawing up papers. The NFL’s argument against sports betting is weak and fraught with stereotypical thinking from the past. That didn’t stop commissioner Roger Goodell from repeating it in the lawsuit, saying betting could make every dropped pass or turnover “fuel speculation, distrust and accusations of point-shaving and game-fixing.” My guess is Goodell has never been in a Las Vegas sports book on an NFL Sunday, when millions of dollars are wagered on his league’s games, partly because bettors think things are all on the up and up. They’re not going to part with cash if they think something is fishy, and they are invariably the first ones who pipe up on the rare occasion when it looks like something could be amiss. What’s really interesting about the Delaware lawsuit, though, isn’t that the NFL is opposing sports betting, because that’s the old party line. This time, the league has some co-conspirators in its campaign to save America’s

bettors from themselves. Why it took so long for pro baseball, hockey, basketball and the NCAA to join forces is anyone’s guess. Maybe they just needed an issue they could rally around. Why stop there? The leagues could do any number of things if they act as one. They could impose Olympicstyle drug testing for all players to ensure a level playing field. They could make players actually interact with the fans who pay their salaries. They could come up with ways to shorten games. They could figure out a plan to allow a family to attend a game without sacrificing their first-born child. Who knows, with all that brain power working together they might even come up with a way to pay for their own stadiums and arenas instead of soaking taxpayers every time they need a new one. Instead, they go after gamblers with arguments so old and lame that the judge who hears them might have trouble not laughing aloud. About the only people cheering them on will be the ones who may be harmed most by Delaware sports betting — bookies in Philadelphia. Sports betting may have once been an issue worth fighting about, but those days are long gone. Not with the NFL in the lottery business itself, not with gambling now being such an accepted part of American life. One thing for certain is there still will be point spreads on NFL games, no matter how the leagues fare in court. You can bet on that.

Although the ride is limited to 2,000 participants, in its 20 years it’s raised more than $20 million for the hospital. “It’s all for The Children’s Hospital,” said Greg Dixson, who has done the ride for three years. “It’s all for a good cause. I

mean what better cause is there than kids.” Along with Greg Dixson, his children Dane, Linnea and Sarah all competed with Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club coach Ben Clark. Moots lent several bikes to the team. “The real story is the volunteers and the kids that are former and current patients that
