he No. 1 slow-dance song in the autumn of 1965, when I was in seventh grade at Charles R. Van Hise Junior High School, was “Turn, Turn, Turn,” by the Byrds. During Friday afternoon mixers in the school cafeteria, boys and girls with sweaty palms awkwardly embraced each other and shifted their weight from one foot to the other in time to the music. “To everything, turn, turn, turn … there is a season, turn, turn, turn … and a time to every purpose, under heaven.” The dancing was nervewracking, but the music was magical and still stands up 44 years later. A Steamboat audience had the chance Friday night at Strings Music Pavilion to hear Chris Hillman, a founding member of the Byrds and a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, with musical partner Herb Pedersen. They performed an acoustic version of “Turn, Turn, Turn” on man-

dolin and guitar. Talk about a time warp. If 44 years have passed since the original Pete Seeger folk tune scored a No. 1 hit for the Byrds, then it’s inevitable that my musical heroes now are, ahem, senior citizens. Hillman is due to turn 65 during the first week in December. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I’m only eight years, five months, six hours and 93 seconds (very roughly) behind him. Instead, I’d like to focus on the fact that ’60s country-rock stars still can give performances that are as meaningful, and in some ways more meaningful, than the sets they rocked out as young men and women. With a list of 70 songs to choose from Friday night, Hillman and Pedersen paid homage to many of their own heroes, such as country artists Buck Owens and Vern Gosdin. Pedersen, who teamed with Hillman in the 1980s-90s country-rock supergroup Desert Rose Band, was in fine form in Steamboat this week. If you wanted to find harmonies as blended as those of Pedersen and Hillman, you’d have to summon another Byrds founder, David Crosby and ask him to bring along his pal Graham Nash. They were that tight. Hillman and Pedersen found their relevance at the Strings Music Pavilion by producing a blend of early bluegrass, folk, California country, ’80s rock and ’60s hits. The music was stripped bare and performed simply on two acoustic instruments played into open mics. In doing so, they gave us a graduate seminar in the roots of rock music tinged with country that came out of Southern California four decades ago. The music was cross-pollinated by players who formed bands, broke up and remixed to form new bands that pushed the genre forward. Hillman can be linked to Crosby, who can be linked to Stephen Stills and Neil Young, who played together in Buffalo Springfield, which included Richie Furay, who helped to establish Poco but went on to play briefly with Hillman in the Souther, Hillman, Furay Band. Of course, Hillman helped Stills found Manassas, and it is Stills to whom Hillman gives a lot of credit for helping him to

find his own song-writing chops. Oh, yeah, and Poco band member Timothy B. Schmit became a longtime member of the Eagles. Come to think of it, Bernie Leadon, who was a founding member and played banjo with the Eagles in the early days, also was a member of the Scottsville Squirrel Barkers. That was the Southern California bluegrass outfit Hillman was invited to join when he was just 17. You get the picture. I could go on at great length tracing the family tree of country-rock music, but I probably should stop right now. One of the best moments of Friday night’s show at Strings came when a young member of the audience — at least, she was younger than Chris Hillman or me — called out, “Play Ten Miles High.” Of course, she was referring to the 1966 Byrds hit “Eight Miles High” penned by Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark and David Crosby. McGuinn used his electric Rickenbacker 12string on that tune to create some space-country guitar licks like no one else has thrown down since. Hillman fielded the request from the audience like a pro. “Ten miles high? I can only go eight miles high!” he quipped. And without hesitating, he began to replicate McGuinn’s guitar riff on his mandolin as Pedersen joined in on harmony. The music may be four decades old, but it came alive last week. If you weren’t there, look up “Turn, Turn, Turn” on You Tube. It’s all there waiting for you. Tom Ross is a longtime Steamboat resident.

4-H roping debuts at Routt County Fair Tom Ross

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Young cowboys and cowgirls defeated the steers Monday at the first-ever 4-H roping event at the Routt County Fair, with many a set of horns and heels caught up in larFor more well-thrown iats. Schedule of “From Decfair events ember through See page 12 April, these youngsters trailered their horses over to the arena and trained on Sundays,” arena announcer Dean Vogelaar said over the PA system. Morgan George, 10, of rural Yampa, dominated the junior division, winning both the heading and heeling contests to claim the trophy buckle. Cooper McCullar claimed first-place in intermediate heeling and placed second to Will Zupan in heading to take the championship. Joey Anderson, 15, of Oak Creek, held off Madison George to take the overall title among the seniors. Morgan George, fresh from her third Little Britches National Championships in Pueblo this summer, pulled off the victory with the help of her horse, Red, which was given to her by her grandmother, Rita Nelson. During the competition with 890 young cowboys and cowgirls in Pueblo, George said she didn’t fare so well, hitting a bar-

rel in the barrel race and failing to get a catch in the roping. She had no such problems during the first day of competition at the 95th annual Routt County Fair. Anderson competed well Monday in spite of the fact that he’d been too busy in the past month with haying chores to practice his roping. Had there been a ribbon awarded for best horse story, Zava Zupan would have won hands-down. She was riding an impressive gray gelding named Bandit. “We spent the last few weeks in Montana at my family’s ranch practicing,” Zupan said. In another lifetime, Bandit escaped from a rancher in Moffat County, slipped his saddle and disappeared for two years. He was caught in a wild horse roundup and returned to his owner, who sold him to the Zupans. Defying all expectations for a semi-mustang who ran with the wild ones for two winters, Bandit became a reliable horse for a young cowgirl. — To reach Tom Ross, call 871-4205 or e-mail tross@steamboatpilot.com

Usually, veterinarians at Steamboat Springs’ Pet Kare Clinic might see a case of kennel cough — a bacterial infection that causes a coarse cough in dogs — about once a month.

which we seem to go through every few years,” Colser said. Kennel cough, also known as infectious tracheobronchitis or Bordetella, usually can be treated with cough suppressants and antibiotics. The most common kennel cough symptom is a dog “coughing and gagging like they’ve swallowed something,” said Michael Gotchey, a veterinarian at Steamboat Veterinary Hospital. That coughing sometimes can produce a small amount of white foam, and infected dogs might have a mild, low-grade fever or seem “offkilter a little bit,” he said. Kennel cough tends to spread in areas where many dogs are close together, including the “dog-friendly world here in Steamboat,” he said. In the past month, Steamboat Veterinary Hospital has started to see as many as six to 10 cases of kennel cough a day. Veterinarians there had See Cough, page 14

The city’s program — operating for about 20 years — began accepting registration last week for Afterschool Action, which begins after the Steamboat Springs School District’s first day of school Aug. 24. The program for children in kindergarten through fifth grade runs from 3 to 5:45 p.m. at Soda Creek Elementary School. The cost is $10 per day after a $15 registration fee, which is good for one family for a full year. The daily fee includes transportation for students who attend Strawberry Park Elementary School. School Days Off is another program offered by the city. It runs from 7:30 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. and costs $32. Afterschool Action includes several enrichment clubs, six-

to eight-week classes offered for an additional one-time fee. They are African Rhythm and Dance ($40), Learn to Skate and Initiation to Hockey ($32 each), Cooking ($20) and Drama ($25). The fees cover transportation, the cost of supplies and instructors, said Jennifer Travis, youth program coordinator for Steamboat’s Parks, Open Space & Recreational Services Department. “They give these kids new experiences in the times when working parents may not be able to provide it,” Travis said about enrichment club programs. Registration for the enrichment clubs needs to occur before the first week of September, when they begin. For more information, call the Parks, Open Space and Recreational Services Department at 879-4300, or visit http:// steamboatsprings.net/rec.

Boys & Girls Club The after-school program offered by the Boys & Girls Club of Steamboat, which opened in June as a branch of the club in Craig, will begin Aug. 31 The after-school program, for 6- to 18-year-olds, will be available from 3 to 7 p.m. at its location in the George P. Sauer Human Services Center on Seventh Street. Heather Martyn, director of the Boys & Girls Club, said it recently decided not to charge a daily or hourly rate in addition to the $10 yearly membership fee. “If it’s free, we feel it’s up to the kids if they want to come,” she said, noting that even $1 an hour each day after school can add up for working families. So any one of the nearly 450 children who already have become members of the club is eligible for the after-school program at no cost, she said. The Boys & Girls Club also will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on select school holidays at a cost of $1 per hour. Parents who have not signed up their children can stop by the Boys & Girls Club location with their children to pay the fee and fill out some paperwork.

COMMENTARY

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

Averting the worst Paul Krugman

THE NEW YORK TIMES

So it seems that we aren’t going to have a second Great Depression after all. What saved us? The answer, basically, is Big Government. Just to be clear: The economic situation remains terrible, indeed worse than almost anyone thought possible not long ago. The nation has lost 6.7 million jobs since the recession began. Once you take into account the need to find employment for a growing workKrugman ing-age population, we’re probably about 9 million jobs short of where we should be. And the job market still hasn’t turned around — that slight dip in the measured unemployment rate last month probably was a statistical fluke. We haven’t yet reached the point at which things are

actually improving; for now, all we have to celebrate are indications that things are getting worse more slowly. For all that, however, the latest flurry of economic reports suggests that the economy has backed up several paces from the edge of the abyss. A few months ago, the possibility of falling into the abyss seemed all too real. The financial panic of late 2008 was as severe, in some ways, as the banking panic of the early 1930s, and for a while key economic indicators — world trade, world industrial production, even stock prices — were declining as fast as or faster than they did in 1929-30. But in the 1930s, the trend lines just kept heading down. This time, the plunge appears to be ending after just one terrible year. So what saved us from a full replay of the Great Depression? The answer, almost surely, lies in the very different role played by government.

Probably the most important aspect of the government’s role in this crisis isn’t what it has done, but what it hasn’t done: Unlike the private sector, the federal government hasn’t slashed spending as its income has fallen. (State and local governments are a different story.) Tax receipts are way down, but Social Security checks still are going out; Medicare still is covering hospital bills; federal employees, from judges to park rangers to soldiers, still are being paid. All of this has helped support the economy in its time of need, in a way that didn’t happen back in 1930, when federal spending was a much smaller percentage of GDP. And yes, this means that budget deficits — which are a bad thing in normal times — actually are a good thing right now.

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

The debate — OK, the shouting match — we are having about “health care reform” is about many things, including cost, who gets help and who does not and who, or what, gets to make that determination. Underlying it all is a larger question: Is human life something special? Is it to be valued more highly than, say, plants and pets? When someone is in a “persistent vegetative state,” do we mean to say that person is equal in value to a carrot? Thomas Are we now assigning worth to human life, or does it arrive with its own pre-determined value, irrespective of race, class, IQ or disability? The bottom line is not the bottom line. It is something far more profound. Our decisions regarding who will get help and

MALLARD FILLMORE

who won’t are about more than beancounting bureaucrats deciding whether your drugs or operation will cost more than you are contributing to the U.S. Treasury. The secular left claims we are evolutionary accidents who managed to crawl out of the slime and by “natural selection” stand erect and through millions of years outsmart our ancestors, the apes. If that is your belief, then you probably think health care should be rationed. Why spend lots of money to improve — or save — the life of someone who evolved from slime and has no special significance other than the “accident” of becoming human? Policies flow from such a philosophy, though the average secularist probably wouldn’t put it in such stark terms. Stark, or not, isn’t this the inevitable progression of seeing humanity as maybe complex, but nothing special? The opposing view sees human beings as unique creations. Even Thomas

Jefferson, identified by historians as a Deist who doubted the existence of a personal God, understood that if certain rights (life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness) do not come from a source beyond the reach of the state, then the state could take those rights away. Those who believe that God made us and also makes the rules about our existence and our behavior will have a completely different understanding of life’s value and our approach to affirming it until natural death. It is between these two distinctly different worldview goalposts that the battle is taking place. Few from the “endowed rights” side are saying that a 100-year-old with an inoperable brain tumor should be given extraordinary and expensive care to keep the heart pumping, even after brain waves have gone flat. But there is a big difference between “letting go” and “snuffing out.” The unnatural progression for many See Thomas, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

Big government has averted catastrophe Krugman continued from 8 You can argue (and I would) that the bailouts of financial firms could and should have been handled better, that taxpayers have paid too much and received too little. Yet it’s possible to be dissatisfied, even angry, about the way the financial bailouts have worked while acknowledging that without these bailouts things would have been much worse. The point is that this time, unlike in the 1930s, the government didn’t take a hands-off attitude while much of the banking system collapsed. And that’s another reason we’re not living through Great Depression II. Last and probably least, but by no means trivial, have been the deliberate efforts of the government to pump up the economy. From the beginning, I argued that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act,

aka the Obama stimulus plan, was too small. Nonetheless, reasonable estimates suggest that about a million more Americans are working now than would have been employed without that plan — a number that will increase throughout time — and that the stimulus has played a significant role in pulling the economy out of its free fall. All in all, then, the government has played a crucial stabilizing role in this economic crisis. Ronald Reagan was wrong: Sometimes the private sector is the problem, and government is the solution. And aren’t you glad that right now the government is being run by people who don’t hate government? We don’t know what the economic policies of a McCainPalin administration would have been. We do know, however, what Republicans in opposition

have been saying — and it boils down to demanding that the government stop standing in the way of a possible depression. I’m not just talking about opposition to the stimulus. Leading Republicans want to do away with automatic stabilizers, too. Back in March, John Boehner, the House minority leader, declared that because families were suffering, “it’s time for government to tighten their belts and show the American people that we ‘get’ it.” Fortunately, his advice was ignored. I’m still very worried about the economy. There’s still, I fear, a substantial chance that unemployment will remain high for a very long time. But we appear to have averted the worst: Utter catastrophe no longer seems likely. And Big Government, run by people who understand its virtues, is the reason why.

Playing the role of God a difficult task Thomas continued from 8 on the secular left is to see such a person as a “burden.” In an age when we think we should be free of burdens — a notion that contributes to our superficiality and makes us morally obtuse — getting rid of granny might seem perfectly rational, even defensible. But by doing so, we assume an even greater burden: the role of God in deciding who gets to

live and who must die. Anyone who has seen the film “Bruce Almighty” senses how difficult it is to play God. We now are witnessing some of the consequences of attempting to ban people with a God perspective from the public square. If there are no rules and no one to whom one might appeal when those rules are violated, we are on our own to set whatever rules we wish and

to change them in a moment in response to opinion polls. Any appeals to a higher authority stop at the Supreme Court. The explosive town hall meetings are indications that Americans are trusting government less and less. So where should we go? The answer is in your wallet or purse. It’s on the money. Right now it is little more than a slogan, but what if it became true: in God We Trust.

US Forest Service urges summer campfire safety The U.S. Forest Service is reminding campers to be careful with campfires this summer. “Right now, the fire danger in the forest and grasslands is moderate with no fire restrictions in place,” Tony Tezak, forest fire management officer for the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests, said this week. “Despite a lack of fire restrictions, however, people still need to be aware of the

dangers associated with campfires and be cautious with their use. We have already encountered numerous instances this summer where campfires have been left unattended. This is an accident waiting to happen.” Leaving a campfire unattended is a violation of Federal law (36 CFR 261.5) and is punishable by a minimum fine of $225 on as much as $5,000 and as many as six months in jail. Build campfires away from overhanging branches, steep slopes, rotten stumps, logs, dry grass and leaves. For additional information about campfire safety, visit the local USFS office on Weiss Drive.

Corna toxicology report done

The results of a toxicology report on Chris Corna have not swayed the opinion of the Westchester County, N.Y., Medical Examiner’s Office, which ruled his May death a suicide. Medical Examiner Millard Hyland said tests revealed Corna, who owned Slopeside Grill in Steamboat Springs, Corna had a tranquilizer known as sertraline in his system when he died. Sertraline is used in medications to treat anxiety and depression, such as Zoloft. Hyland said there was an expected level of sertraline in Corna’s

system for someone who uses such medications regularly. “It suggests that perhaps there was some depression,” Hyland said. There were no traces of alcohol in Corna’s blood. Corna, 45, died May 18 in Port Chester, N.Y. He was driving a rented car that crossed the centerline on U.S. Highway 1 and crashed into the foundation of a railroad bridge. He also had a knife wound to his neck. Hyland would not say Monday what specifically led his office to a conclusion of suicide. “We have pretty good evidence it’s a suicide,” he said. “Let’s put it that way.” A police investigation into the death continues, Port Chester Police Department Lt. James Ladeairous said Monday. “The medical examiner is

Hayden School District Superintendent Greg Rockhold has expressed interest in the Cheatham County, Tenn., director of schools vacancy, according to a story published Wednesday in the Tennessean. The Nashville, Tenn., newspaper named Rockhold as one of 19 applicants for the position. However, Rockhold Rockhold, who came to Hayden before the 200809 school year from Paris, Tenn., said Monday that his name was submitted by an acquaintance. “It was not an act of application on my part,” he said. Hayden School Board President Brian Hoza said he had

not seen the newspaper story nor had he been told Rockhold might be considering another position. Rockhold said he hasn’t looked into the position and that he’s not even sure where the school district is located in Tennessee. He said he hasn’t been contacted about the position and he likely wouldn’t discuss it if he were. Rockhold, who originally is from Albuquerque, N.M., said he still has family in Tennessee but has no immediate plans to pursue another job. “I’m having too much fun here,” he said. “… I’m very happy in Hayden.” Rockhold said his focus was preparing for the upcoming school year, which begins Sept. 8. Cheatham County, Tenn., has a population of nearly 36,000, according to the 2000

Census. According to its Web site, The School District has six elementary schools, three middle schools, three high schools and three specialty schools. The story in the Tennessean reported that the screening committee that is reviewing applications for the director of schools position has no timetable for hiring. Should Hayden have to look for its second superintendent in two years, Hoza said he didn’t think it would interfere with the district working toward its longterm goals. “Longevity is helpful to the long-term success and stability of the district,” he said. “Transitions are always a challenge, but not necessarily a bad thing. … We’ll do what we need to do if that becomes an issue.” — To reach Jack Weinstein, call 871-4203 or e-mail jweinstein@steamboatpilot.com

CELESTIAL NEWS

Jimmy Westlake at 130,000 mph and burn up as meteors about 60 miles high. These dust particles are so tiny that you easily could hold 1,000 of them in the palm of your hand. The August meteors seem to fan out from a point in the northeastern sky within our constellation Perseus, so the meteor shower is named the Perseid meteor shower. The night of peak activity is Aug. 11 to 12, but some Perseid meteors can be seen for about a week on either side of that date. You always will see the most meteors between midnight and dawn because that’s when Earth has you facing the direction from which the meteors are coming. This year, the bright waning gibbous moon will wash out many of the fainter meteors after it rises at about 10:30 p.m., but there still should be plenty of medium to bright “shooting stars” to keep you awake. Try

facing a part of the sky with the moon at your back, or stand with the bright lunar orb behind the edge of a building to block it from view. This will help keep your eyes adapted to see the most meteors. Last week, veteran meteor forecasters Jeremie Vaubaillon and Mikhail Maslov predicted a brief but dramatic spike in Perseid activity between 2 and 3 a.m. MDT on the morning of Aug. 12. During that hour, meteor counts could jump as high as 200 or so as the Earth plows through a dense thread of dusty debris shed by Comet Swift-Tuttle in the year 1610. If you go outside to watch meteors for only a single hour, this is the hour you should choose. So, grab that comfy recliner and sleeping bag, some insect repellant, and a Thermos of your favorite hot beverage, and watch the sky for St. Lawrence’s tears. You never know when the next big one will flash into view. Professor Jimmy Westlake teaches astronomy and physics at Colorado Mountain College’s Alpine Campus. He is an avid astronomer whose photographs and articles have been published all around the world. Check out Westlake’s astrophotography Web site at www.jwestlake.com.

he annual Perseid meteor shower is in progress and is scheduled to reach its peak tonight. Although some meteor showers can disappoint because of less-than-expected activity, the Perseid meteor shower is the “Old Faithful” of meteor showers, regularly producing 40 to 60 meteors per hour at its peak. Even a bad year for the Perseid makes for exciting meteor watching. The Perseid meteor shower has been observed in midAugust every year since at least 258 A.D., when the Romans martyred a Christian deacon named Laurentius on a hot gridiron. That night, as Laurnetius’ family and friends carried away his body, they noticed a number of bright streaks falling through the sky, and they marveled at the miracle, believing that the streaks were the fiery tears of Laurentius falling from heaven. For centuries after that August night, people across the world have continued to marvel at the sight of “St. Lawrence’s tears” each summer. We now know that the streaks of light are produced when tiny bits of space dust, shed by Comet Swift-Tuttle, enter the Earth’s atmosphere

During the peak of the Perseid meteor shower of Aug. 12, 2000, an unexpected auroral display erupted over Colorado, creating a rare opportunity for Coloradans to see Perseid meteors streaking through the colorful Northern Lights. There is little chance for an auroral display over Colorado this year, but the Perseid meteor shower is expected to put on a magnificent show early Wednesday morning before dawn.

Hayden’s 1st day of school is Sept. 8 Programs continued from 6

Hayden’s program Totally Kids has provided an after-school program in Hayden since 1995. The after-school program for children ages 5 to 12 will begin after the Hayden School District’s first day of school Sept. 8. It will be offered from about 3:30 to 6 p.m. at Hayden Valley Elementary School. The cost is $35 per week, or $10 a day. Because the district doesn’t

have classes every other Friday, Totally Kids traditionally has offered all-day Friday sessions. But Carolyn Gregory said that in the past two years, there hasn’t been enough demand. It hasn’t been determined whether all-day Friday programming will be offered this year, she said. The Totally Kids after-school program also includes some youth sports. Tackle football for boys and girls in grades three to six will be offered this year, Gregory said. However, the reg-

istration deadline was July 22. She said dance lessons, which were offered last year, might be offered again if she can find a new instructor. Its summer program, which has been around for the past five years, runs through Aug. 21 and costs $25 a day. For more information, call Gregory at 846-9083 or visit the school to register.

Lawmakers look into health care

DENVER

Colorado lawmakers said Monday they want to know why women pay more for health insurance than men. Jamie Scholl, spokesman for the Colorado State Association of Health Underwriters, told the Legislature’s Health Care Task Force that women pay more for insurance when they are young because they have a higher demand for health care. He said that changes for adults in their 50s, because women are beyond childbearing age and older men need more medical care. Sen. Joyce Foster, D-Denver, said women are being forced to

subsidize health care for young men and she said it’s unfair for one group of people to pay one rate and another group a higher rate for medical care. “To me, it’s highly offensive,” she told Scholl. Dick Cauchi, an analyst for the National Conference of State Legislatures, a nonpartisan research organization, said 40 states have no specific ban on gender ratings. He said Colorado has a limited ban. Sen. Gail Schwartz, D-Snowmass Village, said lawmakers may have to change state law to make it clear that one group of insured shouldn’t be forced to support another when both parties are responsible for pregnancies.

records found to be wrong THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

��

The Denver Fire Department has acknowledged submitting incorrect training records to an agency that helps set insurance prices but says the errors weren’t deliberate. KMGH-TV in Denver reported Sunday that the records claimed some firefighters put in up to 40 hours of training in a single 24-hour day, and that other firefighters were training on days they were on vacation or out sick.

Other records showed 85 firefighters in the same training for the same length of time on the same date. Kevin Klein, director of the state Division of Fire Safety, said that’s virtually impossible since the firefighters were at different stations on different shifts. The records were submitted to the Insurance Service Office, which rates fire protection based on firefighter training and other factors. Insurers use the ratings to set premiums. Fire Chief Nick Nuanes told the station no one deliberately falsified the records. He said a corrected training record was submitted, but KMGH reported those records included discrepancies, such as firefighters listed in training on days they were on vacation or on leave for military training. Nuanes said the records are “a work in progress” and are being corrected. KMGH says there was no indication individual firefighters falsified their training records.

Vilsack talks climate change with farmers DENVER

Another Obama Cabinet member is in Colorado to lobby for the administration’s climate change bill. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack met with ranchers and farmers Monday in a closeddoor discussion about how the proposal before the Senate to slash greenhouse gas emissions could benefit agriculture. Vilsack is promoting a USDA analysis released last month that argues farmers could see a profit if the bill passes. The bill would pay farmers to adopt climatefriendly practices such as notill farming or planting trees. Later Monday, Vilsack was to address a conference in Boulder about greenhouse gases. Last week, Interior Secretary Ken Salzar visited a solar power plant in Longmont to promote the climate bill.

Police: Longmont man killed by police drew gun LONGMONT

Authorities said officers shot and killed a Longmont man after he pulled a gun after a 20-minute chase. The Boulder County sheriff said a deputy pulled over 35year-old Brian Christopher Naranjo early Monday and he took off after the deputy realized he was armed. A Longmont police officer stopped the car by intentionally ramming it and a sheriff’s deputy fired a “less-thanlethal” round through its window. Police said they ordered Naranjo to surrender but he pulled out a gun. Sheriff Joe Pelle says two deputies and three officers shot Naranjo. The officers involved will be placed on leave, and the shooting is being investigated.

Mountain lion captured south of Denver airport AURORA

Colorado wildlife officers have tranquilized a mountain lion about six miles south of Denver International Airport on the eastern edge of the Denver area. A man told the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Department he saw the lion run into a storage shed Sunday morning. Deputies sealed off the area and called the Division of Wildlife. The lion was a female about 18 months old and weighed about 65 pounds. Wildlife officers planned to evaluate the lion, then tag her and release her in the mountains.

Hudson River divers on Monday found the wreckage of a small plane and one of two victims missing after a midair collision with a sightseeing helicopter that killed nine people. The wreckage of the singleengine Piper was found in about 60 feet of water in the middle of the river, indicating it had drifted from the spot where it crashed, closer to New Jersey’s riverbank, said the New York Police Department’s top spokesman, Paul Browne. It was found on its side with no wings visible. NYPD divers couldn’t re-

move the man’s body from the aircraft wreckage. The Army Corps of Engineers was being consulted about trying to pull the plane to the surface of the river, which is less than threequarters of a mile wide at the crash site between New York and New Jersey. The mangled helicopter was raised from the river Sunday. Nine people — two men and a boy from a Pennsylvania family on the plane and five Italian tourists and a pilot on the helicopter — died in Saturday’s collision, which occurred in a congested flyway popular with sightseers. Before Monday afternoon, seven bodies had been recovered.

Nuggets lose Kleiza to Europe Arnie Stapleton

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

The Denver Nuggets have lost another player who helped them reach the Western Conference finals. Forward Linas Kleiza, who played four years in Denver, is taking his game to Europe. Nuggets executive Mark Warkentien said Kleiza has chosen to play for Olympiakos, agreeing to a two-year deal worth more than $12 million. Warkentien said Kleiza’s agent, Bill Duffy, informed him of the signing Monday. Duffy was flying back from Europe and unavailable for comment. He’s the second free agent to bolt Denver this summer, joining starter Dahntay Jones, the pesky defensive stopper who signed a four-year, $11 million with the Indiana Pacers. Kleiza, who provided the Nuggets with an outside shooting prowess off the bench, was extended a qualifying offer by the Nuggets in June, making him a restricted free agent and guaranteeing him a $2.7 million salary this season. That’s an 80 percent raise from the $1.5 million he earned last season but nowhere near what Olympiakos was willing to pay the Lithuanian forward who played at the University of Missouri. Kleiza averaged 9.9 points and four rebounds last season. He got off to a sluggish start after the Nuggets pulled a four-year, $25 million contract extension off the table the night before the season started but came on strong down the stretch and was a key contributor off the bench in the playoffs along with J.R. Smith and Chris “Birdman” Andersen. He averaged 6.9 points and 3.2 rebounds in the playoffs, after which he said he hoped to stay in Denver, although he was keeping all options open.

As Troy Tulowitzki headed for second, the words of teammate Brad Hawpe echoed in his head. “We were sitting on the bench together and he was telling me, ’If you get anywhere close to getting a triple you better

go,”’ Tulowitzki said. “I honestly think if it weren’t for him I would have stopped at second.” Tulowitzki gambled and sprinted for third on his hit down the left-field line in the seventh, sliding headfirst into third to complete the first cycle in his young career. He had a night to remember, getting five hits with a career-high seven RBIs to

help Colorado beat the Chicago Cubs 11-5 on Monday night. “That’s a pretty good career for some guys,” Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. “Just a tremendous offensive performance.” Tulowitzki, who had a home run denied in the first video review at Coors Field, came to bat to lead off the seventh a triple

shy of the franchise’s fifth cycle and first in nine years. He laced a 3-2 pitch down the left-field line and slid headfirst into the bag before third baseman Jake Fox could corral the throw from left. “I thought I was going to be out, but I keep going back to Hawpe,” he said. “He said he would have been upset if I didn’t try.”

Baker making most of his 2nd chance Arnie Stapleton

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ENGLEWOOD

Defensive tackle Chris Baker’s rehabilitation is off to a strong start in Denver, where he’s mending not from an injury but a tarnished image. Baker was kicked off the Penn State team last summer for

his role in two off-field fights, so he went to Hampton for a season and then joined the Broncos this summer as an undrafted free agent. The 329-pound nose tackle quickly impressed the coaching staff with his ability to stuff the run and push the pile.

“Chris has shown the ability to knock people back,” coach Josh McDaniels said, breaking from his usual cautious script to lavish high praise on a rookie. “Chris has done some good things in this camp.” Baker also has made some fast friends, when he

faked a fair catch on a punt that bounced inside the 10-yard line and out of the end zone. With that, the beefy lineman earned his teammates a night off from team meetings. The gregarious Baker’s plan is right on track: Baker wants to show everyone not only what kind of player he can be, but what kind of person he is.

When the rain held off and The Glen heated up, Smoke was in his element. Tony Stewart won the raindelayed NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen International on a steamy Monday, muscling an ill-handling car in the early going and then holding off Australian Stewart Marcos Ambrose over the final 21 laps for his Cup-record fifth victory at the famed road course. “I love it when it gets slick,” Stewart said after his 36th Cup win. “There’s just something about this place. We’ve been really good.” Stewart has finished first or second in eight of the past 11 Cup road races, but had to keep the hard-charging Ambrose at bay. Ambrose won the Nationwide race here Saturday with a daring move that surprised Kyle Busch for the lead and finished third a

year ago in the Cup race after starting last. “I was watching him (Ambrose),” Stewart said. “I think we were stronger in the parts we needed to be and we never looked at the fuel.” It was Stewart’s third win in his first season as an ownerdriver and the seventh road course win of his career, second to four-time Watkins Glen winner Jeff Gordon’s NASCARrecord nine. Stewart has six consecutive top-two finishes at Watkins Glen, also winning in 2002, 2004, 2005, and 2007 and finishing second in 2006 and 2008. All of Stewart’s previous success at The Glen came with crew chief Greg Zipadelli at Joe Gibbs Racing. Darian Grubb was atop the pit box this time for Stewart-Haas Racing. The two-time Cup champion always seems to peak in the hot days of summer, and he’s right on schedule. Stewart has finished fifth or better in eight of his last 10 starts, all top 10s, and leads Jimmie Johnson in the standings by 260 points.

All he has to do on Sunday at Michigan is start the race to secure his spot in the 12-man Chase for the Cup title. “We’ll keep working hard. That’s what we have to do,” said Stewart, who led 34 laps. “We’ll be focused on what we’ve got to do next week. We’ve got to do what got us to the dance.” Added Grubb: “We’ve still got work to do. We’re trying to get stronger every week, and this was a testament to the effort. We know how good Tony is here, and we’re going to get stronger. Hopefully, we can carry that momentum into the Chase.” The race originally was scheduled for Sunday, but a string of thunderstorms forced it to Monday. Last week’s race at Pocono also was postponed to Monday because of rain. Ambrose was second, a career best, and Carl Edwards third. Kyle Busch, Greg Biffle, Juan Pablo Montoya, Kurt Busch, Max Papis, Clint Bowyer and Denny Hamlin rounded out the top 10. Polesitter Jimmie Johnson, seeking his first career road win, finished 12th.

Criticism shows respect for Harrington Tiger Woods suggests competitor was rushed into 3 poor shots

PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

CHASKA, MINN.

Tiger Woods didn’t take much time to celebrate his 70th career victory on the PGA Tour, and not just because he was on Hazeltine National at dawn Monday to get ready for the PGA Championship. Woods, so careful to avoid controversy throughout his career, stepped out of character after winning the Bridgestone Invitational. One question into his interview, he shifted attention away from his late heroics at Firestone — an 8-iron from 178 yards over the water that stopped a foot from the hole for birdie — by blaming the anticlimactic finish on a rules official. Woods was perturbed that he and Padraig Harrington were put on the clock at the pivotal 16th hole Sunday, and suggested that Harrington was rushed into three poor shots that led to triple bogey. What had been one of the most compelling duels of the year gave way to another inevitable Woods victory. Not only did Woods identify the rules official — European Tour chief referee John Paramor — he later shared with the media what he told Harrington on the 18th green. “Like I was telling him out

Woods

Harrington

there, ’I’m sorry that John got in the way of a great battle,’ because it was such a great battle for 16 holes, and we’re going at it head-to-head, and unfortunately that happened.” Paramor and Slugger White, the PGA Tour rules official in charge at Firestone, defended the decision as simply enforcing a policy. Woods will be fined for his public criticism of a rules official, one PGA Tour official said Monday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the tour does not announce fines. There were arguments for both sides. The final round ended right about 6 p.m., enough time for CBS Sports to do a quick interview with the winner. Was it really necessary to put them on the clock? Rules are rules, however, and even Harrington pointed out that it would be unfair for the final two players — no matter

what was stake or how tough the conditions — to be treated differently than the groups ahead of them. The final pairing was 17 minutes behind schedule when they were put on the clock. Hidden beneath the debate was the deep respect Woods has for Harrington. Woods chose not to comment Monday when asked if he would have been so quick to criticize the rules official had his opponent been someone other than Harrington. But he spent some 10 minutes in the parking lot at Hazeltine discussing why he holds the Irishman in such high esteem. And he did not disagree when presented this notion: Of all the players against whom he has competed over the last dozen years, few — if any — have made Woods feel as though he were playing against himself. Harrington does that. Their record is nothing alike; neither is their game nor their swing. Neither likes to chat much inside the ropes. They don’t even win the same way. And while Woods admires Harrington, they hardly spoke to each other during the final round. What impresses Woods is how Harrington stops at nothing to get everything out of his game. He feels the same way about Jim Furyk and Vijay Singh.

MLB ROUNDUP

Red Sox 6, Tigers 5

snapped New York’s seven-game winning streak. Overbay drove in two runs, and Edwin Encarnacion and Joe Inglett also drove in runs for the Blue Jays, who played an inspired game about 30 minutes after learning that teammate Alex Rios had been claimed off waivers by the Chicago White Sox. Shawn Camp (1-5) picked up the win in relief of ineffective starter Marc Rzepczynski, who allowed three homers and didn’t make it out of the fourth. The Blue Jays bullpen allowed four hits over 5 2-3 shutout innings, helping Toronto win for just the third time in 10 tries against the Yankees this season. Jason Frasor worked the ninth for his fifth save. Derek Jeter hit a homer on the third pitch of the game, and Robinson Cano and Jerry Hairston added back-to-back homers in the fourth for the Yankees. Yankees starter Sergio Mitre (1-1) allowed five runs — three earned — and six hits in five innings.

Angels 8, Rays 7 ANAHEIM, CALIF.

BOSTON

Nick Green hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly and one of Boston’s three homers as the Red Sox ended their three-game power outage and six-game losing streak with a 6-5 victory against Detroit on Monday night. The Red Sox, who scored two runs in the final three games of a four-game sweep by the Yankees in New York, squandered a 5-3 lead when Manny Delcarmen allowed two runs in the seventh. They went back in front in the bottom of the inning on singles by J.D. Drew and Casey Kotchman and Green’s sacrifice fly. In the eighth, Detroit put runners at second and third with one out. Ramon Ramirez (6-3) struck out Adam Everett, and Jonathan Papelbon retired Curtis Granderson on a foul out. Papelbon got his 28th save. Reliever Zach Miner (5-2) allowed Green’s sacrifice fly in two innings. Boston moved within 5 1/2 games of the first-place Yankees in the AL East tied and moved one-half game in front of Texas in the wild-card race.

Blue Jays 5, Yankees 4 NEW YORK

Lyle Overbay and Aaron Hill hit solo homers and Toronto

Vladimir Guerrero homered twice, including the 400th of his career to put the Angels ahead in the seventh inning, and Kendry Morales also hit two homers for Los Angeles. Guerrero extended his hitting streak to a season-high 12 games a week after coming off the disabled list for the second time this season. He is one of seven active major leaguers with 400 homers and 2,000 hits. The Angels rallied four times before putting away the Rays, who fell to 8-15 overall against the AL West and 3-13 on the road.

Mariners 6, White Sox 4 SEATTLE

Kenji Johjima hit his first home run since May 25, a tiebreaking two-run shot in the sixth inning, for Seattle.

Obama praises health debates President braces for town hall talk Jennifer Loven

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GUADALAJARA, MEXICO

A day before facing a potentially boisterous town hall in New Hampshire, President Barack Obama praised the spirited debate over his health care plans on Monday and predicted “sensible and reasoned arguments” ultimately would prevail in Congress. Obama plans to pivot his message Obama somewhat today, addressing people who already have insurance through their employers and highlighting how his proposals would affect them. The White House is retooling its message amid polling that shows Americans — especially those who have coverage — are skeptical of Democratic proposals to expand to cover many of the 50 million or more uninsured. On Monday, in his first North American summit, Obama met with the leaders of Mexico and Canada, covering such shared hot topics as trade barriers, drug violence and the expected resur-

gence of swine flu. But questions about domestic policy — Obama’s drive for overhauls to U.S. health care and immigration policy — followed him to Mexico and stole the biggest share of the hour the three leaders appeared together before reporters. Concerns about Obama’s health care reform proposal are heating up town hall meetings, chat rooms and radio shows in the U.S. — driving his poll numbers down and threatening the future of his highest domestic priority. While Congress is in recess for the month of August, lawmakers are hearing from constituents worried about divisive issues such as the government’s role in health care and the costs of an overhaul. Republicans say the heated debate is a sign of widespread public dissatisfaction with Obama’s ideas. But with some of the anxieties spilling into angry disruptions and even threats, Democrats have accused Republicans of orchestrating the events to sabotage legislation. In an article published Monday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer wrote: “Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American.”

Western airstrikes kill fewer Afghan civilians Michael Weissenstein THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KABUL

Fewer civilians were killed by airstrikes in Afghanistan last month even as U.S. and NATO forces pushed deep into Taliban territory, driving clashes and Western casualties sharply higher. Western and Afghan officials say the drop appears to be an early indication of success for restrictions on air power imposed in July by Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the new commander of coalition forces, in an attempt to limit civilian casualties. The U.S. and NATO saw Afghan anger over the deaths as a major impediment to a new

counterinsurgency strategy that makes winning over the population a higher priority than killing insurgents. Six civilians died in airstrikes last month compared to 89 in July 2008, according to an Associated Press count of reports on civilian deaths by witnesses and Afghan officials. None of the reports was the subject of significant dispute by the U.S. and NATO. A single mishap could send civilian deaths up again this month, dashing Western hopes of any real downward trend. But Afghan civilians and officials say the lower death toll for July mirrors a broader reduction in the accidental bombing of nonmilitary targets.

Police: 400 unaccounted for in Taiwan mudslide Peter Enav

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TAIPEI, TAIWAN

A mudslide touched off by a deadly typhoon buried a remote mountain village in Taiwan, leaving at least 400 people unaccounted for, while a massive landslide in China toppled seven apartment buildings, an official said today. Typhoon Morakot slammed Taiwan over the weekend with as much as 80 inches (2 meters) of rain before crossing the 112-mile (180-kilometer)-wide Taiwan Strait and hitting China. The storm inflicted the worst flooding the island has seen in at least a half-century, submerging large swaths of farmland in chocolate-brown muck and swamping city streets.

Taiwanese authorities put the confirmed death toll in Taiwan at 38, but that seemed certain to rise. The country’s Cabinet set aside NT$20 billion ($600 million) in emergency funds to help with relief work and to compensate victims’ families. A disaster appeared to be unfolding at the isolated southern village of Shiao Lin, hit by a mudslide Sunday at about 6 a.m. local time — while many people were still asleep — and now cut off by land from the outside world. A Taiwanese police official who identified himself only by his surname, Wang, said 400 people were unaccounted for in the village. Wang said 100 people had been rescued or otherwise avoided the brunt of the disaster.
