When she took a job as a planner with the Town of Telluride, Annaliese Eichelberger thought she’d be able to pay off the debt she accrued after moving there from Denver.

But Eichelberger was laid off in April — she was one of eight employees the town cut in an effort to make up its budget shortfall — just six months into her job. That prompted the 25year-old’s move to Steamboat Springs one month and nine days ago, a process that further increased her debt.

Eichelberger, who works at Steamboat Shoe Market, said the move “obliterated” her savings. Now, she carries a $2,000 balance on her credit card. “That’s a lot of money when you make $11 an hour,” she said. See Finances, page 14

A chocolate-scented garden

hocolate is something most of us love but also something we try to avoid eating in great quantities, whether we are dieting or not. For a chocolate fix without the calories, consider a garden filled with plants that give off a chocolate fragrance. Chocolate flower (Berlandiera lyrata) is a native of the New Mexico high mountains and can grow well here in Steamboat Springs, as a perennial, if placed in a somewhat protected area. It looks like a daisy with yellow petals and a dark, chocolate center, and it continues to bloom throughout the summer, even after our first frost. As the days heat up, the aroma of chocolate from this flower can be detected as far as 30 feet away. This plant was picked by Colorado State University and the Denver Botanic Gardens as a Plant Select choice. The deciduous twining chocolate vine (Akebia Quinata) is a climbing plant with purplered flowers that smell of milk chocolate. The twines grow 15 to 20 feet and produce a fleshy, edible fruit. Chocolate mint (Mentha) is another Steamboat-hardy perennial with an aroma reminiscent of those chocolatecovered mint patties found at

GARDENING WITH

Deb Babcock the check-out lane that entice us impulse shoppers. As with most any mint, this plant is notorious for its quick spreading nature and can take over a huge part of your garden if not controlled. One trick I’ve used is to plant chocolate mint in a container and then plant the container in the garden so the roots won’t travel. Our state flower, the columbine, comes in a chocolate-scented variety (Aquilegia ‘Chocolate Soldiers’) as do foxglove (Digitalis ‘chocolate’), nasturtium (Tropaeolum ‘Chocolate’), rudbeckia (R. ‘Chocolate Drop’) and sweet William (Dianthus ‘Bittersweet William’). The sweetshrub or Carolina allspice (Calycanthus floridus) is a deciduous shrub with maroonish brown flowers that carry a cinnamon-spiced, bittersweet chocolate fragrance. An unusual dark maroon cosmos is available with a chocolate scent (Cosmos atrosanguineus). It originally is from Mexico, and like most cosmos,

survives only as an outdoor annual in our high mountain environment or as a house plant. Night phlox ‘Midnight Candy’ (Zalusianskya capensis) is an annual that will complement all the chocolate in your garden with its almond-honeyvanilla fragrance. Another chocolate-scented plant that will survive in the garden for the summer, but needs to be brought indoors during the cold weather months, is chocolate geranium (Pelargonium ‘Chocolate Joy’). There are so many hybrids of this popular plant, you should sniff out several and choose the aroma most appealing to you. They come with strawberry, lemon-, almond-, peppermint-, and apple-scented leaves, too. For a final touch of chocolate in the garden, consider mulching the plant bed with cocoa beans. Take a deep breath, and savor the rich aroma of your chocolate garden, without all the calories. Deb Babcock is a master gardener through the Colorado State University Cooperative Extension office in Routt County. Questions? Call 8790825 or visit http://rcextension. colostate.edu

Buildings at Rocking C Bar Ranch will be used as examples Jack Weinstein

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Organizers of the monthly Talking Green event thought they would try something different. The event series, held the second Wednesday of each month for the past two years, usually takes place at area restaurants. But given this month’s topic — sustainability of agricultural buildings — the Steamboat Springs green building group will present a case study. They thought the Rocking C Bar Ranch, owned by Marsha and Doc Daughenbaugh, “seemed like a perfect fit for a Talking Green event,” said Sarah Fox, vice president of Fox Construction. Fox said that because some structures on the ranch were moved from other properties and restored, and because of Marsha Daughenbaugh’s experience with area organizations including the Community Agricultural Alliance and Vision 2030, holding the event on location was ideal. The event will include the Daughenbaughs discussing their property, which was purchased by Marsha’s father in 1946. Marsha Daughenbaugh said three buildings on the ranch

What: Talking Green event When: 5 to 6 p.m. Wednesday Where: Rocking C Bar Ranch, 41505 Routt County Road 44 Cost: Free, but guests are encouraged to take side dishes. RSVP: E-mail Sarah Fox at sarah@foxconstruction, or call 970-734-5006.

were relocated from other properties. The barn was moved from the old Taylor place near the Upper Elk River, she said. Daughenbaugh said two smaller buildings were moved from the Mount Harris area when the coal mining community shut down. Marsha Daughenbaugh said those structures were moved simply because it was cheaper than building new ones. “He was pretty resourceful,” she said about her father. “He had a lot of things working in his head about how to make things work with a little amount of dollars. He and my mother didn’t have much money.” Marsha Daughenbaugh added that her father’s use of the buildings was a good resource, and it’s been her and DocDaughenbaugh’s goal to use those buildings and maintain them so they last forever. Towny Anderson, executive director of Historic Routt County, also will give a presentation at the event. Anderson

will talk about the importance of sustainability and the preservation of historic buildings. “The greenest buildings are the ones already built,” he said about the cost of preserving buildings being less than building new ones, not to mention keeping old buildings prevents additional materials from being discarded in landfills. Anderson said dilapidated buildings tend to symbolize agricultural properties in decline, which isn’t the case at Rocking C Bar Ranch, a hay, grain and cattle operation. “In Doc’s and Marsha’s cases, that’s particularly poignant with some of the buildings that were moved there,” he said. “That’s another example of recycling.” The Yampa Valley Sustainability Council sponsors the Talking Green events, aimed at increasing awareness in the community of different green building and sustainability practices. The event is a potluck barbecue. The Daughenbaughs will provide burgers, and those who attend are encouraged to bring their favorite side dishes.

COMMENTARY

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

Women at risk Bob Herbert

THE NEW YORK TIMES

“I actually look good. I dress good, am clean-shaven, bathe, touch of cologne — yet 30 million women rejected me,” wrote George Sodini in a blog that he kept while preparing for this week’s shooting in a Pennsylvania gym in which he killed three women, wounded nine others and then killed himself. We’ve seen this tragic ritual so often that it has the feel of a formula. A guy is filled with a seething rage toward women and Herbert has easy access to guns. The result: mass slaughter. Back in the fall of 2006, a fiend invaded an Amish schoolhouse in rural Pennsylvania, separated the girls from the boys, and then shot 10 of the girls, killing five. I wrote, at the time, that there would

have been thunderous outrage if someone had separated potential victims by race or religion and then shot, say, only the blacks, or only the whites, or only the Jews. But if you shoot only the girls or only the women — not so much of an uproar. According to police accounts, Sodini walked into a dance-aerobics class of about 30 women who were being led by a pregnant instructor. He turned out the lights and opened fire. The instructor was among the wounded. We have become so accustomed to living in a society saturated with misogyny that the barbaric treatment of women and girls has come to be more or less expected. We profess to being shocked at one or another of these outlandish crimes, but the shock wears off quickly in an environment in which the rape, murder and humiliation of females is not only a staple of the news but an important cornerstone

of the nation’s entertainment. The mainstream culture is filled with the most gruesome forms of misogyny, and pornography now is a multibilliondollar industry — much of it controlled by mainstream U.S. corporations. One of the striking things about mass killings in the United States is how consistently we find that the killers were riddled with shame and sexual humiliation, which they inevitably blamed on women and girls. The answer to their feelings of inadequacy was to get their hands on a gun (or guns) and begin blowing people away. What was unusual about Sodini was how explicit he was in his blog about his personal shame and his hatred of women. “Why do this?” he asked. “To young girls? Just read below.” In his gruesome, months-long rant, he managed to say, among other things: “It seems many teenage girls have sex frequently. One 16-yearSee Herbert, page 9

Rationed health care is already here Clarence Page

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

“Rationing” is one of the scariest words in the current health care debate. It conjures up apocalyptic nightmare images from “Soylent Green,” the sci-fi thriller about a future in which the old and weak are quietly lured into early extinction for the sake of future generations. What the scaremongers don’t like to talk about is how much our private insurers ration now — mostly for the sake of their own profits. Page They’re clever enough to avoid using the R-word. They use other words, like “Read the fine print on your policy.” My friend Sarah Wildman learned the hard way. She’s the new mom with what she calls a “$20,000 baby.”

That’s how much she and her husband had to pay out of their own pockets after her insurer decided her baby was a “preexisting condition.” Self-employed, Sarah and her husband fall into the individual insurance market, which the American Medical Association estimates to be as high as 27 million people. Falling between the fully covered and the uncovered, their numbers have grown faster as thousands of Americans lose their job-based insurance every day. Some of them are women who discover the hard way, as Sarah did, that if you bought maternity coverage after the pregnancy began, the fetus is viewed as an uncovered “pre-existing condition.” The Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 requires employers with more than 15 workers to include maternity benefits in their insurance packages. But only 14 states require maternity coverage in policies sold on the individual market, accord-

ing to the Kaiser Family Foundation. And a report last fall by the National Women’s Law Center found that only 12 percent of 3,500 individual insurance policies included comprehensive maternity coverage. Another 20 percent offered it with a rider that cost as much as $1,100 a month. Others required a two-year waiting period. Fortunately Sarah’s story had a happy ending. She’s a freelance writer for magazines such as The New Republic, The New York Times, The American Prospect and the online publication Slate. When she told the company’s press rep she was going to write about their “crappy” maternity policy, “I got kicked up the food chain.” In the end, she reports, she was able to get 90 percent of her hospital costs paid by the company, which also promised to adjust claims paid to some similarly situSee Page, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

STEAMBOAT TODAY

Our society should acknowledge misogyny are attacked because they are female. A girl or woman somewhere in America is sexually assaulted every couple of minutes or so. The number of seriously battered wives and girlfriends is far beyond the ability of any agency to count. There were so many sexual attacks against women in the armed forces that the Defense Department had to revise its entire approach to the problem. We would become much more sane, much healthier, as a society if we could bring ourselves to acknowledge that misogyny is a serious and pervasive problem and that the twisted way so many men feel about women, combined with the absurdly easy availability of guns, is a toxic mix of the most tragic proportions.

Insurers don’t need government to reform Page continued from 8 ated women. After she wrote about her horror story in Double XX, a woman-oriented Slate spinoff, she heard from numerous fellow sufferers, some with hospital bills bigger than hers. On Thursday, she testified before the House Joint Economic Committee, which released a report that found women more economically vulnerable than men to high medical costs and related bankruptcy. She also has received the inevitable scolding in today’s heated blogosphere from opponents of national health insurance reform. It’s her own fault, some said; she should have read the fine print. Right. As if everybody reads the fine print on their insurance policies -— and understands it. And she hears the fears of those who suspect national reform will lead to government rationing of health care. I’m old

enough to remember how similar fears were vented when Medicare was born in the 1960s. It is now so popular that President Barack Obama and others have heard satisfied, if a little confused, constituents say, “Keep your government hands off my Medicare,” even though Medicare is a federal program. Left unsaid by those who raise fears of rationing by any “government-run” or governmentrelated health care is how much rationing the insurance industry does now. For decades, experts writing in the New England Journal of Medicine and elsewhere have concluded that we do “ration” health care. We just do it through gross disparities in race, sex, age, regions, income and education. And, although Sarah’s insurer may deny it, we also ration it to those who are lucky enough to have access to the big soapbox that she happened to have. If anything, social conserva-

tives should be on her side. By penalizing mothers in this way, the private insurance industry throws more barriers in the way of parents and prospective parents than the government does. Under pressure, the private insurance industry has come to the table. A spokesman for the insurance industry recently responded to congressional criticism by listing concessions that the industry has offered as alternatives to a publicly funded option. The industry has proposed “guaranteed coverage for preexisting conditions, discontinuing rating based on a person’s health status or gender, and a personal coverage requirement to get everyone into the system,” said Robert Zirkelbach, spokesman for America’s Health Insurance Plans. Sounds great. But why wait? Insurers don’t need the government’s permission to reform themselves. Just do it.

One more reason.” I was reminded of the Virginia Tech gunman, Seung-Hui Cho, who killed 32 people in a rampage at the university in 2007. While Cho shot males as well as females, he was reported to previously have stalked female classmates and to have leaned under tables to take inappropriate photos of women. A former roommate said Cho once claimed to have seen “promiscuity” when he looked into the eyes of a woman on campus. Soon after the Virginia Tech slayings, I interviewed Dr. James

Gilligan, who spent many years studying violence as a prison psychiatrist in Massachusetts and as a professor at Harvard and NYU. “What I’ve concluded from decades of working with murderers and rapists and every kind of violent criminal,” he said, “is that an underlying factor that is virtually always present to one degree or another is a feeling that one has to prove one’s manhood, and that the way to do that — to gain the respect that has been lost — is to commit a violent act.” Life in the United States is mind-bogglingly violent. But we should take particular notice of the staggering amounts of violence brought down on the nation’s women and girls each and every day for no other reason than who they are. They

Although dry skin by itself is not a serious health threat, it can be a sign of more serious conditions. Itchy dry skin often is a symptom of eczema, a persistent skin condition that can produce recurring skin rashes that must be treated by a health care professional. Skin often is driest on our lower legs. Our hands, which should be washed often to prevent the spread of infection, are subject to the overuse of soap and water. “Here, preventing the spread of infection outweighs preventing dry skin,” Chladek said. “Try to moisturize with lotion whenever you wash your hands.” If dry skin does not go away after some of this TLC, or if you develop any more annoying symptoms such as persistent itching, lesions or bleeding, you should see a medical professional.

to make ourselves clean, overuse of soaps can actually remove that protective layer from the skin. Even so-called beauty or anti-aging soaps could contain ingredients that damage this barrier. Also, Chladek advised applying a moisturizer when the skin is still damp so it can hold in the moisture. Moisturizers can treat and prevent dry skin. After bathing, pat your skin lightly with a towel and then apply the moisturizer. Although there are a variety of products available, when it comes to choosing a moisturizer, you do not have to break the bank. “You don’t need the fluff,” Chladek said. “You can go with the very basic drug store products.” Chladek said products with emollients are best for keeping in the moisture. Also, unless you have acne, she recommended using products designed for dry skin. While there are a variety of skin types, because of our dry cli-

mate most of us will fall into the dry skin category. Some people who do not like the feel of creams or lotion or have allergies to these products use oils containing vitamin E. For those with really, really dry skin, she suggested using an ointment. She also stressed that applying sunscreen is imperative. “The single most important thing you can do is wear a good sunscreen, and wear it consistently,” she said. “You need to use a sunscreen with both UVA and UVB protection.” Just as the fair-skinned are more susceptible to the sun, they also are more likely to have dry skin. Having allergies or asthma also make one more prone. In addition to applying skin products, Chladek also recommended using a humidifier. “Dry skin is often worse in the winter because of central heating,” she said. “A humidifier in your home can be helpful.”

New strategies, support compensate for low vision Tamera Manzanares FOR THE PILOT & TODAY

Most of us take our eyesight for granted, not realizing that someday it may not be so easy to read, write, drive or recognize familiar faces. Normal aging of the eye does not cause low vision, but diseases that impair vision are more common among older adults. Although they present new challenges, vision problems don’t have to hinder a person’s independence. Learning new skills and strategies, including the use of low-vision aids and devices and seeking support and information, are part of a rehabilitation process that can benefit almost anyone experiencing vision impairment or blindness. An Expo for Aging Eyes and Vision Loss this week aims to educate the community about important resources available to help individuals with low vision cope and make the most of the vision they have left. The expo, sponsored by the Hayden and Ski Town Lions clubs, the Independent Life Center in Craig and the Colorado Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, will be held Thursday at The Haven Community Center in Hayden. Cataract, which is a clouding of the eye’s lens, affects about one in every six adults 40 and older in the U.S. Cataract surgery, which replaces the clouded lens with an artificial intraocular lens implant, is very common. However, many older adults still lose significant vision

��

because of costs and other barriers to cataract treatment. Exposure to ultraviolet radiation in sunlight, a poor diet, alcohol-use and cigarette smoking are among factors that may affect a person’s risk for developing cataract, according to Vision Problems in the U.S., a study conducted by Prevent Blindness America and the National Eye Institute. About 2 percent of adults 40 and older have glaucoma, which involves gradual degeneration of cells that make up the optic nerve. Glaucoma cannot be prevented, but vision loss can be deterred with medications, laser treatments and other techniques that lower fluid pressure in the eye, which is thought to play a part in the disease. Age-related macular degeneration accounts for nearly half of all cases of low vision, it likely is the leading cause of vision impairment and blindness in older adults. Although the cause of the disease, which affects the retina — responsible for clear, sharp vision — is unknown, factors such as cigarette smoking and a diet low in certain antioxidants may increase a person’s risk, the study notes. Diabetic retinopathy is another common cause of vision impairment, particu-

Vision Loss Expo

Living with low vision

An Aging Eyes and Vision Loss Expo will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday at The Haven Community Center in Hayden. The event will feature presentations and booths about aging and changing eyes and eye diseases as well as adaptation devices, employment and resources related to living with low vision. For more information, call 8260833.

■ Advocate: Visit a low-vision specialist (ask your doctor for a referral) for further evaluation to see whether you can benefit from magnifiers, telescopic aids and other adaptive products. ■ Support: Participate in a support group such as VizAbilities to learn how others cope with low vision and to stay up to date on treatments and technology that may be helpful. ■ Communicate: Write down questions for your eye doctor. Speak openly about your concerns, and consider bringing a family member or caregiver with you to the visit so they understand your eye condition and challenges. ■ Anticipate: If your eye doctor indicates you could lose more vision, be prepared. Learn as much as possible about your condition and rehabilitation services and resources that can help. Stay positive about challenges, and be open to developing new skills for daily life. ■ Assert yourself: Remember that resources are available to help you keep your independence. Ask your doctor for information and referrals. ■ Be determined: It’s normal to feel anger, grief and depression during vision loss. Stay determined and persistent and make the most of your remaining vision.

larly in older adults who have diabetes. Careful control of blood sugar and blood pressure may help prevent diabetic retinopathy, and laser treatments have been shown to reduce vision loss in those who have the disease, according to Vision Problems in the U.S. Because diabetes can increase a person’s risk for other eye diseases, it’s important for people with diabetes to have annual dilated eye exams. In general, individuals 65 and older without special risk factors should have a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years, Prevent Blindness America recommends. Signs that a person may have a vision problem and should see an eye doctor immediately include: difficulty recogniz-

secured loans. Black, who owns Vision Trek Consulting in Steamboat, is offering financial literacy classes — from 11 a.m. to noon today for young adults ages 15 to 20 and from 5:30 to 6:30 pm. Tuesday for adults — that will address issues including repairing credit, reducing debt and the new credit card reform act, which begins in February 2010. The cost of each class is $25. The adult class provides information about the banking process, managing debt and understanding consumer credit, said Black, formerly a financial analyst with Millenium Bank and executive director of the Yampa Valley Housing Authority. She said participants would leave with half a dozen tips to assist them with taking care of their finances. “There’s a tendency, if people are in a financial mess, they don’t know where to start, and they don’t know what to do, so they do nothing,” Black said. “The class offers simple tips people can start doing today that will have a measurable impact on their lives in four weeks.” She said the young adult class, which had eight participants when it first was offered in June, addresses the importance of a spending plan, including budgeting and saving. Black said other topics include car insur-

ance and how driving records, moving violations and school grades all affect premiums. It also provides instruction on debt and credit, including the new credit card reform act. Black said financial literacy in the U.S. is “horrible” and is taught at the secondary level in only six states. Colorado isn’t one of them. She said challenges are even greater in resort communities such as Steamboat where wages are low and expenses are high. “It’s a double whammy, really, because of our location and our economy,” Black said. Black hopes to start offering the classes as part of a series each month or every six weeks. But the young adult class is being offered now, she said, for college students before they return to school. Given the economic recession, Eichelberger doesn’t think she’ll be able to return to her degree field of city planning for at least a year. She said she might have to get a second job in the meantime to trim her debt. She’s not the only one. “Everyone’s in the same spot,” Eichelberger said. “I feel like it’s not as much of an issue — not as much taboo — because everyone’s having the same problems.” — To reach Jack Weinstein, call 871-4203 or e-mail jweinstein@steamboatpilot.com

She wanted to stay in a mountain town, so she and her boyfriend, who grew up near Steamboat, came to see whether they could find jobs and an affordable place to live. “We tried to do things the right way,” she said. “The way the economy is right now, even if you are responsible, you can still get into trouble.” Whether having accrued debt from exorbitant spending or through a serious of unfortunate circumstances such as Eichelberger’s, many Americans struggle with debt, said Elizabeth “E.A.” Black, a consultant with experience in the financial and the public sectors. According to the U.S. Federal Reserve’s Consumer Credit report released Friday, Americans trimmed their debt in June for the fifth straight month. It declined 5 percent, bringing outstanding consumer debt to more than $2.5 trillion. Credit card debt declined by $5 billion in June to $917 billion.

Landowners wary of drilling

Monday, August 10, 2009

Should we tell her?

Past experiences with explosions cause some to be worried Judith Kohler

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

Melanie Bounds remembers talking to her husband outside on their deck when an explosion blew the roof off the building housing their water well. She could see her husband’s mouth moving, but couldn’t hear what he was saying. “It was deafening,” Bounds said. More than two years later, the Bounds still have to vent their well and home to make sure the methane gas responsible for the big boom doesn’t rebuild to explosive levels. Ben and Melanie Bounds and other residents of Huerfano County in south-central Colorado blame natural gas drilling for the methane that has seeped into their wells and made them fear switching on lights in their homes. That’s why they and their neighbors on the edge of the San Luis Valley are warily watch-

ing as Petroglyph Energy seeks state and federal approval to run tests to try to stop the methane leaks and eventually start drilling again. After investigating the Bounds’ explosion and other complaints, state regulators halted Petroglyph’s operations in July 2007. A state order requires the Boise, Idaho-based company to monitor water wells, remove methane from water and find a way to keep the methane from migrating before starting to drill again. A hearing is set for today in Walsenburg, about 10 miles east of the Bounds’ property, on Petroglyph’s request for a permit from the Environmental Protection Agency to pump water and reinject it into wells. The company hopes to create a barrier of water to prevent methane from going where it shouldn’t. Pumping the area groundwater is thought to be at the heart of the problems plaguing area landowners. Petroglyph

has drilled 52 coal bed methane wells in the area. Pumping huge volumes of groundwater frees the natural gas trapped in the coal beds. The problem, Bounds said, is the flow of gas isn’t under control. She thinks the gas, freed by the release of water pressure, is moving through underground fractures. “We are being forced right now to live with something that is colorless, odorless and has the potential to harm us,” said Bounds, who with her husband is suing Petroglyph about the methane problems. Paul Powell, Petroglyph’s chief operating officer, said the EPA permit would allow the company to pump groundwater from one formation and inject the water into wells in another formation to create a hydraulic barrier, isolating the methane gas. The company will have to treat the water it injects. State regulators have final say on the company’s plan to stem the methane flows.

potential for robberies. And that’s not completely unfounded. Dispensary thefts have occurred in Boulder and California, where customers were robbed on their way out. There also are reports of illegal sales occurring outside the businesses. Councilman Doug Roessel questioned the need for multiple dispensaries in the county, also pointing out that the dispensary in Frisco is only 5 miles away from Dillon. This was because Joe Wray, Dillon’s chief of police, said he knows of one only person in Dillon who has a medical marijuana prescription. According to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, as of June, Summit has 111 registered medical marijuana users, Park County has 82 and Eagle County has 69.

ready have set moratoriums on medical marijuana dispensaries; Silverthorne officials will discuss their options next week. This flurry of discussions and code changes are coming on the heels of a business permit being approved for Medical Marijuana of the Rockies — it recently opened in Frisco’s Crossroads shopping center. Breckenridge additionally is facing a vote to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana for recreational use by adults older then 21. According to Dillon officials, Dillon and Silverthorne have been approached by people wishing to open medical marijuana dispensaries. All council members expressed concerns about having a medical marijuana dispensary within town limits at Tuesday’s work session — noting location, safety issues, the potential for abuse and regulation as key issues.

The Breckenridge Council doesn’t want dispensaries in the town’s core, and Dillon officials are leaning in that direction as well — though there was uncertainty about where a proper place could be for such a business. Mention of “light industrial zoning” was thrown around as a possibility. “I’m not opposed,” Davis said. “But I do want to limit where it is. ... Not in our town center. I don’t want to have to react when it comes.” Don Parsons, a councilman and doctor, encouraged the town to wait on making any decisions. “We ought to be moving real slow on this. Unless there’s a demand from our residents, we shouldn’t do it,” Parsons said. “I think Breckenridge has taken this on. I think we ought to follow their progress and see what they come up with.” Councilwoman Mary Forsyth said she had safety concerns about dispensaries, noting the

WASHINGTON

For years, the Bush administration was criticized for not cleaning up enough of the nation’s most contaminated waste sites. The Obama administration plans to do even less. Environmental groups and some Democratic lawmakers railed against President George W. Bush’s cleanup record. But this time, they’re shying away from speaking out against a popular president who’s considered an ally in the fight to clean up the environment. In Obama’s first two years in office, the Environmental Protection Agency expects to begin the final phase of cleanup at fewer Superfund sites than in any administration since 1991, according to budget documents and agency records. The EPA estimates it will finish construction to remove the last traces of pollution at 20 sites in 2009 and 22 sites in 2010. During the eight years of the Bush administration, the agency finished construction at 38 sites on average a year. “Certainly, we are very disappointed that we can’t get our

... numbers up,” said Elizabeth Southerland, the acting deputy of the EPA’s hazardous waste cleanup program, known as Superfund. The explanation by the Obama team is the same one put forward time and time again by Bush officials: The sites on the list have become increasingly complicated, contaminated and costly. That means it takes years for sites to reach the final cleanup stage, and as a result, fewer are getting there. Of the 527 contaminated properties still needing cleanup on the Superfund list, 40 have progressed to the point where all that’s left is removing the last piles of contam-

inated soil, building a treatment plant to strip the groundwater of toxic pollutants, or capping a landfill so contamination does not enter the drinking water or air in surrounding neighborhoods. At the other 1,060 hazardous waste sites still on the list, construction is finished, and the last stages of the cleanup are under way — a process begun before Obama took office. When EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson explained this trend to a Senate committee this year, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., replied: “That’s the same answer the Bush administration gave us, and I don’t buy it.”

7 bodies pulled from Hudson Geoff Mulvihill

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOBOKEN, N.J.

20492593

Divers pulled a helicopter and four more bodies out of the murky Hudson River on Sunday in their search for victims, wreckage and explanations from a midair collision of a sightseeing helicopter and a small plane that killed nine people. The dead from Saturday’s �� crash include three fathers and their three teenage sons. The � �� private plane carried a family from Pennsylvania, and the heli�� copter held five Italian tourists celebrating a couple’s 25th wedding anniversary.

��

The plane approached the helicopter, which had just taken off for a 12-minute tour, from behind and clipped it with a wing, witnesses said. Both aircraft split apart and fell into the river. Searchers fought swift currents, dealt with visibility as low as one foot, and dodged debris dumped along the river bottom as they brought four more bodies on to boats. One was found in the fuselage of the helicopter, New Jersey State Police Sgt. Stephen Jones said. Two bodies remained missing. A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers crane lifted the twisted wreckage of the helicopter from 30 feet of water. Nearby, a sonar scanner found the small plane wreckage, New York City police said. More plane wreck-

age was found farther out in the river under about 50 feet of water. The collision happened in the same stretch of the Hudson where a US Airways jet landed safely seven months ago. It was the worst air disaster in New York City since a commercial jet crash in Queens killed 265 people in November 2001. The searches went on as a steady stream of tour boats floated down the Hudson. Restrictions put in place after the crash kept sightseeing helicopter tours grounded Sunday. Divers suspended their search at about 4 p.m. MDT Sunday, and they will resume this morning, National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Keith Holloway said.

5 prep storylines to watch

he fall sports season can’t get here quickly enough. The doldrums of summer are great, but it’s the prep action that is the best. Here in Routt County, there are multiple teams with high hopes this year. Official practices open Aug. 17. The Steamboat Springs High School golf team opened practice today. Here are five trends to watch as fall sports approach: ■ Can the Steamboat boys soccer team secure a home playoff game? I think the answer is yes. The team is strong in the back, led by senior goalkeeper Connor Birch. The Sailors started hot last year before cooling down the stretch. If the team can find goal scorers and finishers, it probably is the best in the Western Slope League. Coach Rob Bohlmann’s team always is competitive. This one, however, could make a deeper run into the playoffs. ■ How will Soroco build on 8-man football? This will be the second year the Rams have played the sport. After a respectable showing in its first season, Soroco should be even better this year. Although they still won’t be eligible for the postseason, it should be interesting to see where the Rams find their motivation. Provided that motivation is there, Soroco could be one of the biggest surprises in 8-man football. For those looking for something to do, get down to South Routt and watch quarterback and linebacker Cody Miles play. He’s one of the best athletes in Routt County. ■ What does graduation do to Hayden? The girls volleyball and boys football teams each will have a different look this year. With heavy losses to graduation in both programs, it will be telling to see how the programs respond. See Graham, page 22

Another win for Woods

AKRON, OHIO

The battle was everything Tiger Woods expected. The finish was nothing anyone imagined, except for Woods hoisting another World Golf Championship trophy at Firestone. Woods was in trouble in the trees on the famous par-5 16th

hole, one shot behind Padraig Harrington, trying to figure out how he could squeeze out a victory Sunday in the Bridgestone Invitational. He delivered another signature moment, this one an 8-iron from 178 that wound up a foot from the hole for birdie. Moments later, with an official timing his every shot, Padraig Harrington rushed his way into a stunning melt-

down. He hit five straight shots without losing his turn, made triple bogey and became a mere bystander the final two holes as Woods won for the 70th time in his career. Woods closed with a 5under 65, becoming the first player in PGA Tour history to win seven times on the same golf course and giving him back-to-back victories going into the PGA Championship,

his last chance to win a major this year. Woods won it with an 8-iron that was pure theater. “When I hit it, I knew it was going to be a good one,” he said. “I thought it was going to be just a little bit past the hole. I was surprised it spun that much, considering it was that much downwind. But it came back and ended up a kick-in.”

Helton helps Rockies rout Cubs, 11-5 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MLB DENVER

Todd Helton’s power numbers may be down, but his batting stroke is just fine. Helton had three hits to extended his hitting streak to 14 games, Dexter Fowler scored three times and the Colorado Rockies beat the Chicago Cubs, 11-5, on Sunday.

Helton, who averaged 33 home runs a year in his first eight full seasons in the major leagues, has only 11 this year, but he’s hitting .323 — just five points below his career average — with 65 RBIs. “He is in a very good place

and swinging the bat really well,” Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. “We’ve been trying to get traffic on the bases in front of this guy.” Rookies Carlos Gonzalez and Fowler have been setting the table atop the order. On Sunday, they were on base a combined six times and scored four runs. “I try to do the little things,”

said Gonzalez, who had three hits. “Get on base for guys like Helton and (Troy) Tulowitzki and (Brad) Hawpe.” In the first inning, Gonzalez and Fowler got on and Helton followed with an RBI single to spark a three-run rally. Fowler led off the fifth with a single and scored on Helton’s double down the right field line.

Rugby completes 3-peat Steamboat squad captures title at Ski Town Classic in Utah Luke Graham

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

For the third consecutive year, the Steamboat Springs Rugby Club won the Ski Town Classic rugby tournament in Park City, Utah. This year’s win might have been the most impressive. Steamboat cruised through its first two games, beating Breckenridge and the Bozeman, Mont., Select team by a combined score of 67-7. In the finals, Steamboat played the Park City Division I team. Outsized and sometimes outmatched, Steamboat nonetheless cruised to a 33-12 win. “It was probably the greatest 60 minutes Steamboat rugby has ever produced,” Steamboat

coach and captain Michael Hurley said. “We didn’t run over them; it was just, we were very clinical with our game.” Park City fielded one current and two former U.S. Eagles national team players. Still, the Steamboat team took advantage from the start. The green and orange took leads of 7-0, 10-0, 15-0 and 18-0 at the half. From there, the more experienced Park City team lost its cool. “It was a great win against an obviously frustrated and violent Division I team,” Steamboat player Tom Alexander said. Steamboat dominated the second half, and with 20 minutes left, the game was all but over. At that point, Park City began to lose its cool, even seeing one of its players get ejected.

Collins sharp as Titans beat Bills in HOF game John Wawrow

NFL

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CANTON, OHIO

For a preseason opener, Kerry Collins felt like he was already picking up from where he was last season in leading Tennessee to the playoffs. As for Vince Young, it’s one step at a time before he feels capable of regaining his dominant form. Overshadowing Terrell Owens’ debut for the Buffalo Collins Bills, the two Titans quarterbacks combined to produce three touchdown drives in a 21-18 win to kick off the NFL’s preseason in the Hall of Fame game Sunday night.

Tom W.

“I’m encouraged,” Collins said, entering his 15th season. “It doesn’t take as long to get ready, but I’ll take advantage of the work I’m going to get. He certainly was efficient in the two series he got against the Bills, by quickly delivering on the faith the Titans put in him after being signed to a two-year $15 million contract this offseason. Already selected as the starter, Collins went 7-of-10 for 82 yards in producing two touchdown drives, one capped by reserve punter A.J. Trapasso’s 40-yard run on a perfectly executed fake punt on the opening possession. Collins was especially efficient in going 3 for 4 for 49 yards on third down.

��

�� Mary Ann W.

“We came out and had one of the best weekends of rugby we’ve ever had,” Steamboat player Charlie Pappas said. “The game was phenomenal, and everyone kept their cool. We played our game and took it to them.” The tournament win wraps up another banner year for Steamboat. In addition to regaining its Mountain League Championship, the team won both the Cow Pie and Ski Town Classic rugby tournaments for the third straight year. “It says a lot for our team,” Alexander said. “A D-I team is very rarely local. This team is built on local Steamboat guys. It’s a huge step for our guys to win that.”

Rain postpones Cup race John Kekis

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y.

�� 20487083

Andy Lally will have to curb his enthusiasm for another day. Lally, a champion road racer with dreams of competing in NASCAR, was scheduled to make his first Sprint Cup start on Sunday. But a band of rain moved over the road course at Watkins Glen International and never lifted, forcing NASCAR to postpone the race until noon today. “It’s pretty anticlimactic. We were all belted in ready to go when they pulled the plug on us,” Lally said after NASCAR called off the race at 4 p.m. EDT. “This being my first Sprint Cup start, it just makes it that much more anticipation. I’m going to try to get a good night’s sleep in the motor home tonight and just think positive — keep thinking about all the

NASCAR — SPRINT CUP things I have to do tomorrow.” A thunderstorm hit the track about 2 p.m. Sunday when drivers were about to start their engines. The course takes at least two hours to dry. Rain still was falling at 4 p.m., making it too late to complete the 90-lap event before sunset. The track stretches nearly 2 1/2 miles around 11 turns and has several elevation changes. Last week’s race at Pocono also was moved to today because of rain, and with just five races before the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, another delay wasn’t welcome. “That’s got to be tough,” Canadian road racer Ron Fellows said. “They’ve spent a lot of time at the racetrack watching it rain. You might get a bit stir-crazy.” Saturday’s Nationwide race at The Glen also was threatened

by rain. Although it never materialized, rain tires were stacked in the garage area just in case. NASCAR’s first major points race in the rain came just more than a year ago at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal in a Nationwide Series race, and that made a lasting impression on four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon. “I can’t imagine what it would be like in a Cup race,” Gordon said. “I thoroughly enjoyed watching it rain up there. That was highly entertaining, but I was very glad I wasn’t inside the car.” Carl Edwards’ team was one of several that didn’t install a windshield wiper during an extended early caution when NASCAR went to the rain tires. Without a wiper, Edwards stuck a squeegee out the driver-side window to clean his windshield during later caution periods. Fellows won the race.

The Denver Broncos were pleased to get Knowshon Moreno into camp and not just because their top draft pick is the cornerstone of coach Josh McDaniels’ reconstruction project. “Now we’ve got a new rookie to haze on and sing for us and do a few little extracurricular activities to make training camp go by a little faster,” receiver Brandon Stokley said with a smile.

Moreno, the top running back selected in the NFL draft, should make the Broncos’ offense move faster. The exceptional University of Georgia running back, who joined Herschel Walker as the only Bulldogs to post consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons, was the 12th overall pick and the first selection made by McDaniels, who replaced Mike Shanahan in the offseason.

Obama, Calderon meet at US-Canada-Mexico summit

��

GUADALAJARA, MEXICO

��

At least nine people were killed and nine others missing in western Japan today after Typhoon Etau slammed into the country bringing heavy rain that triggered floods and landslides. The typhoon left eight people dead in Hyogo prefecture, police official Shigekazu Kamenobu said. He could not provide details but said many were caught in raging waters. “At least one man was swept away in a river while he was in a car. His body was later found inside the vehicle,” Kamenobu said. Nine others were missing in Hyogo, in the western part of Japan’s main island, police said. About 2,200 people were evacuated from homes and stayed at public schools there. A woman also was found dead in her house that was destroyed by a landslide in neighboring Okayama prefecture, police official Wataru Yamamoto said. Japan’s Meteorological Agency warned of heavy precipitation and landslides in eastern Japan as Etau heads north.

Do You Have SOMETHING to Say? ��

President Barack Obama pressed for a new tone in the United States’ relationship with Mexico but found no immediate progress Sunday on the divisions between him and Mexican President Felipe Calderon about of the pace of U.S. drug-fighting aid and a ban on Mexican trucks north of the border. During the separate sit-down between Obama and Calderon, the Mexican leader raised his concerns about the speed of implementation of the United States’ three-year, $1.4 billion drug-fighting package known as the Merida Initiative. One $100 million installment is being delayed about increasing concerns among some in Congress about the Mexican army’s abuses. The U.S. law requires Congress to withhold some funding unless the State Department reports Mexico is not violating human rights in the process of its anti-cartel crackdown that started in 2006. Obama told Calderon that human rights is a major priority for him but also assured him that the State Department is working to prepare a report that recognizes all Mexico’s efforts to prevent abuses, said a senior administration official, who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity in order to more freely describe private meetings.
