The rise and fall of Routt County’s real estate economy

A little lamb

Part 3: Holding a losing hand

Events for youngsters build excitement in future 4-H’ers

or years, Routt County’s thriving real estate market and healthy tourism economy sustained a year-round work force. For some local businesses, there was simply too much work. Start-up companies grew rapidly, feasting on the insatiable demand for services. Established businesses multiplied their staffs in an effort to keep up with the workload. But when the economy slowed and the housing market all but stopped, those swollen payrolls had nowhere to go but down. Many Routt County businesses, and particularly those connected to the building industry, have been forced to cut back as rapidly as they grew just a couple of years ago. The result has been widespread layoffs and a new focus on efficiency. And for some, it’s meant pulling up roots and moving elsewhere to earn a paycheck.

The right thing to do

ometimes easy decisions are difficult. Today’s column is my

last. Starting Sept. 12, I will launch a radio show discussing national politics. My co-host will be Cari Hermacinski. The show will initially air Saturday mornings on KBCR 1230 AM from 8 to 10 a.m. The show also will be available on the Internet and by podcast. With luck, we’ll expand the number of outlets and hours of broadcasting. Our goal is to provide independent talk radio for politically independent Americans. We’ll provide a voice for those tired of the federal government dictating to states, counties, municipalities and individuals what they can and cannot do. We believe it’s time Washington politicians listen to hard-working Americans — especially those from the heartland of this country that the media elites dismissively refer to as “flyover country” — who are tired of increasing government encroachment in their lives. As a successful entrepreneur and small-business woman with

independent views about the challenges facing our country, Cari was the natural choice for co-host and will bring balance to a male-dominated medium. But, because Cari also is a Steamboat Springs City Councilwoman seeking re-election, I am obligated to step aside from writing about local issues as a columnist for the Steamboat Pilot & Today. It’s an easy decision intellectually as it is the ethical course of action. Given that Cari and I now are in business together, it is a conflict of interest for me to write about her actions as a councilwoman or the actions of her opponents. Any local matter I might write about that affects Steamboat Springs — which is almost everything that unfolds in the valley — would be suspect because of that conflict of interest. Even if Cari fails in her bid for re-elec-

tion, anything I write about her replacement would be a potential conflict, as well. Although stepping aside on local issues is an easy decision intellectually, it still is difficult, as I’ve loved writing this column. When I first accepted the Pilot’s offer to pen a column, Editor Brent Boyer told me the hardest thing would be finding topics. Nothing could be further from the truth. The list of local topics I wanted to address grew weekly. My greatest regret is that I now will disappoint those who entrusted me with information to investigate and, if warranted, write about. For that, I apologize. But before relinquishing my perch, there is an issue I’d like to address.

Halle had a little lamb Events for youngsters build excitement in future 4-H’ers STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

As the smallest of triplets, Magic wasn’t able to muscle her way past her siblings to feed from their mother ewe. But the lamb is just the right size for Halle Hamilton. “She almost died,” said Halle, 5, the lone entrant in the “bum lamb contest” Thursday at the Routt County Fair. “I like her really much.” The bum lamb contest is one of a few events that gives those too young to participate in 4-H an opportunity to show animals at the fair. A bum lamb is one that is raised on a bottle because its mother abandons it, dies or has more lambs than it can feed. Halle also participated in the mini goat contest, a similar event. “That’s the only thing I can do,” Halle said. “I’m not old enough to sell real animals.” Before her events, Halle took JOHN F. RUSSELL/STAFF Five-year-old Halle Hamilton feeds Magic during the “bum lamb contest” at the Magic for a walk through the Routt County Fair on Thursday afternoon.

Steamboat Springs’ sales tax collections decreased 21.5 percent in June compared with June 2008. Figures released Thursday show that the city collected less than $1.2 million in sales tax in June, compared with about $1.5 million for the month last year. That puts the year-to-date collections at $8.7 million, compared with $10.5 million yearto-date at this time last year.

That’s a 16.8 percent decrease.

Lodging saw the biggest percentage decline, 30.2 percent from June 2008 to June 2009. But that represented

COMMENTARY

Could health care be ‘Obama’s Iraq’? Clarence Page

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

This is the August of President Barack Obama’s discontent. His proposed health care overhaul is taking a beating in the polls. Town hall meetings have been disrupted by angry voices, only some of whom were paid to be there. As Obama fights to get back in front of a signature issue of his presidency, he should find no comfort in how much his troubles remind one forPage mer White House aide of former President George W. Bush’s biggest overseas headache: Iraq. The first dangerous similarity, former Bush strategist Matthew Dowd observed on ABC’s “This Week,” is there is the gathering sense that, “You’ve taken your eye off the ball.”

Just as Iraq took Bush’s attention away from Afghanistan, health care seems to have taken Obama’s attention away from the economy. The second similarity Dowd noted is the crumbling argument that “It’s going to pay for itself.” Remember when oil was supposed to pay for toppling Saddam Hussein? In one major health care proposal after another, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office similarly has shot down that idea. Finally, when the public starts to turn on you, you attack the opposition. That certainly sounds familiar. Obama seized on South Carolina Republican Sen. Jim DeMint’s remarks that, “If we’re able to stop Obama on this (health care), it will be his Waterloo, it will break him.” But DeMint was only slightly overstating the truth. Team Obama needs, as Team Bush did, to address its vulnerabilities rather than simply try to shift the conversation. With that in mind, I would add

even more ominous Iraq similarities to Dowd’s list. For example, just as Team Bush didn’t send enough troops into Iraq to maintain order, Team Obama was caught off guard by an insurgency of town hall meeting screamers and a surge of Internet-fed myths and rumors. Bush put too much faith in nonexistent weapons of mass destruction. Obama may have put too much faith in Congress producing legislation before the August recess. Now, nervous voters are pelting lawmakers with too many questions that don’t yet have a clear answer. Perhaps Obama needs his own version of the military “surge” in Iraq. Team Obama has launched a new Web site to fight unfounded yet potentially damaging charges of “socialized medicine,” “rationed care” and even forced “euthanasia” for the elderly. See Page, page 9

Gunning for health care Gail Collins

NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

Thanks to the health care protests during the past week, the nation seems to have come to a fragile consensus on a few critical issues. For instance, governmentrun death panels — not good. And, Nazis — nobody likes them. Interestingly, we do not have any agreement at all on the question of whether it is a good plan to bring a gun to a gathering of angry and overwrought people. To be honest, I thought we Collins might be able to nail this one down. But no. “The question is, why don’t people bear arms these days?” William Kostric said, when asked why he came to welcome President Barack Obama to Portsmouth, N.H., on Tuesday with a protest sign and

MALLARD FILLMORE

a loaded handgun strapped to his thigh. This turned out to be completely legal under New Hampshire law. Meanwhile, in Arizona, a protester who showed up to meet the local congresswoman at a supermarket was removed by police when the pistol he had holstered under his armpit fell, bouncing on the floor and alarming the nonprotesting attendees. This, too, turned out to be legal, though the dropping part is not recommended. Also escorted away but not arrested: an armed man at a loud and rancorous town meeting hosted by Rep. Steve Cohen, of Memphis. The armpit guy and the Memphis guy had the required permit to carry a concealed weapon. Kostric did not even have to have a permit since his gun was not concealed, which in New Hampshire makes it completely OK. This is under the theory that as long as you know that the strangelooking guy waving the big protest sign is

packing heat, you can take steps to protect yourself, perhaps such as purchasing a bullet-proof vest from a nearby street vendor. (Actually arrested: Richard Terry Young, 62, in Portsmouth. Although Young’s loaded gun was in his parked car, not on his person, the fact that he did not have a license and that police discovered him lurking inside the high school where the president was scheduled to appear later in the day apparently tipped the scales.) We are getting yet another series of reminders of the vast gun gap in this country. There is the part that thinks a room full of red-faced men and women screaming at one another is the worst place in the world to bring a firearm. And then there is the part that holds it is exactly the place where you need it most. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, an Arizona See Collins, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

Page continued from 8 More than that, Obama needs to deal with the fundamental political question: “Where’s mine?” He’s vowed to address the estimated 40 million who are not insured, rein in skyrocketing costs and offer some form of a public option to compete for our consumer dollars with the private insurance industry. But with polls showing most of us Americans to be reasonably satisfied with their current insurance, even he admitted recently that he needs to answer the question many of us are raising: “What’s in this for me?” Still the big questions such as whether the final legislation

will include a “public option” to compete with private insurers and the proposal’s mounting cost projections continue to loom. At some point, the president needs to put some of his political muscle behind cost-cutting measures, even if it steps on the toes of his own political base. Serious attention, for example, should be paid to a bill proposed by Utah Republican Sen. Bob Bennett and Oregon Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden that has amazingly strong bipartisan support, despite today’s polarized political atmosphere. It would require almost all workers except those in the military or covered by Medicare to enroll in a private insurance plan made available through a

new state-run pool of private carriers. Premiums for low- and moderate-income families would be subsidized on a sliding scale, partly through tax incentives. Pooling health care insurance options would drive down costs, its sponsors say. The CBO, for the most part, agrees. Yet, despite its advantages, it’s a political long shot, precisely because it demands almost all sides of the debate to give something up for long-term benefits. For example, it would end the tax exemption for employer-paid insurance. But if that’s the kind of compromise that has to be made if we’re going to end up with a health care overhaul, it’s worth the trouble.

Protests have spread beyond actual meetings Collins continued from 8 Democrat, was not actually holding a town hall when her gun incident occurred. She was conducting a “Congress on Your Corner” at the Douglas Safeway — a simple event where people line up to get help with things such as Social

Security or documentation. But the health care protests have spread way beyond actual meetings about health care. Rudy Ruiz, the father of one of Giffords’ college interns, saw the gun hit the floor. “He bent over, and it fell out of the holster is what it did. It bounced. That concerned me. I just

thought, ‘what would happen if it had gone off ? Could my daughter have gotten hurt?’” His daughter, a college senior, is hoping to pursue a political career after graduation. “Are you sure you want to get involved in this stuff ?” Ruiz asked her on the way home.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Enthusiasm has soared for the first Sisters in Steamboat weekend, organizers said, though they haven’t received many checks in the mail. “The response has been terrific,” said Tracy Barnett, manager of Mainstreet Steamboat Springs. “The registration has not been terrific, but I have a bazillion people saying, ‘Oh, I’m coming, I just haven’t done the paperwork.’” Barnett came up with the idea after hearing about its suc-

cess in St. Charles, Ill. Women are encouraged to get together Oct. 16 to 18 in Steamboat Springs for workshops, athletic activities, social time and “retail therapy.” Organizers have nearly finalized the schedule. “The whole thing is just supposed to be a fun kind of tonguein-cheek weekend,” Barnett said. “It’s meant to be a chance for people to get together. We just don’t plan stuff — this is a way

for women to plan time with their friends and family.” Local author Jill Murphy Long, who runs The Writer’s Sanctuary B&B, has helped with planning. She’s scheduled to give a presentation based on one of her books, “Permission to Play.” Long encourages women to set aside time to have fun and to be creative. As part of the workshop, women will write a letter to themselves about activities they want to return to or try for the first time. Long, who doesn’t read the letters, mails them to

Moose numbers increasing in Routt A decade ago, having an encounter with a moose in Routt County was considered a relatively rare occurrence. However, during the past 10 years, moose numbers have significantly increased. Nowadays, moose frequently are observed in the Steamboat Springs area and also can be found regularly

in many other parts of the county. Colorado is in the southern portion of the historic range for moose, but it wasn’t until the late 1970s, when moose from Utah and Wyoming were reintroduced to North Park,

that Colorado had a substantial moose population. Moose were able to successfully establish themselves in North Park, and throughout time, the population expanded east toward Rocky Mountain National Park and south into Middle Park to create additional moose populations. Ultimately, moose from these populations found

Woman walks out of wilderness after sting Zach Fridell

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

A woman who suffered anaphylactic shock after suffering bee or wasp stings while hiking on Dome Lake Trail was able to walk out of the Zirkel Wilderness on her own Thursday afternoon. Routt County Search and Rescue volunteers and North Routt Fire Protection District emergency workers were paged to help the woman at about 2:45 p.m. Thursday. A paramedic and an EMT from Search and Rescue were in a helicopter above the woman’s last known

position when she was able to walk out of the wilderness at the trailhead at about 4:30 p.m. The woman was 70 years old, according to communication over Routt County dispatch radio, and suffered the shock while walking with a group of people on the trail, near North Lake Trail off Seedhouse Road. Search and Rescue spokesman Darrel Levingston said the woman, a local, was about 2 1/2 miles up the trail from the trailhead when dispatchers received the call. Search and Rescue incident commander Jim Linville said bee sting situations can have “all types of different outcomes.”

“That was a good sign,” that she was able to walk out on her own, he said. Linville said the helicopter crew was searching for the woman, and the Search and Rescue ground crew had just arrived, when the woman was able to walk out of the wilderness. The crew had received special permission for the private helicopter to land, Levingston said. Search and Rescue crews also had a Flight For Life helicopter on standby in Dillon, he said. The helicopter, from Zephyr Helicopter Service, is operated by John Witte, a former Search and Rescue volunteer, Levingston said.

mobile-home park will have on homeowners in the park. The article, “West Acres residents fight road route,” is available at www.steamboatpilot.com. The homeowners think that by replacing the greenbelts with roads to reduce traffic on U.S. Highway 40 — traffic that will be exacerbated by any development west of Steamboat — the tranquility of their 30-year-old neighborhood will be destroyed and the value of their homes will be diminished. An appraisal found the greenbelts add $400,000 to the value of the homes, but the city offered only $44,000 to be divided by 82 homeowners. The city also negotiated with the owner of the mobile-home park for the city to provide trees, a fence and other improvements the homeowners find inadequate. The homeowners are appealing an adverse decision concerning their ability to seek damages from the city by District Court Judge Shelley Hill. But even if the West Acres homeowners lose legally, the bigger social justice question is whether the homeowners have been treated with less deference by the city than other homeowners have been in high-end neighborhoods that don’t consist of mobile homes. Without a doubt, some of the homeowners at West Acres think that is the case. I think they’re right. In the final equation, the reality of whether the homeowners received disparate treatment or whether the city prevails legally does not matter. It’s a question of what is the right thing to do. Undoubtedly, the right thing is for the city to sit down again with the homeowners and seek a compromise. But, if not, the homeowners at West Acres certainly know how to vote and can sign a petition for referendum on any development seeking annexation west of Steamboat. And, I suspect, they have many voting friends, as well. Wouldn’t it be something if those angered voters were just enough to tip the balance in any election involving annexation? That might bring a whole new meaning to the New Victory Highway.

Cunningham gave the presentation to the board during the second day of its two-day workshop to plan and set goals for the upcoming school year, which also begins Aug. 24. The agreement includes a $25 million, 600-student capacity school for kindergarten though eighth grade, and $5 million to expand the high school. Steamboat 700 Principal and Project Manager Danny Mulcahy said Thursday that a real estate transfer fee would pay for its share of the project with 0.5 percent of all housing sales. He said fees would be dedicated to the project until Steamboat 700’s half of the costs to build the new school and expand the high school was met, as long as the scope of the project remains consistent with what it is today. “It was a long process working with the school district,” Mulcahy said. “From the different School Board members I’ve spoken to, they’re excited about it.” After the workshop, School Board President Robin Crossan said the development of Steamboat 700 would add several hundred students to the district. “The agreement is important for the development and growth of the school district,” she said. Mulcahy said it’s difficult to predict when Steamboat 700’s obligation to the project would be met. It depends on turnover and home values, he said. The Steamboat Springs City Council has scheduled first and second readings of the annexation ordinance for Sept. 22 and Oct. 13. Mulcahy said the tentative timeline for the project included building the first of a potential 2,000 homes in 2012.

Full build-out is anticipated to take 20 years. Cunningham said construction of the school depends on when the district would put a general obligation bond on a ballot and decide to build. But, she added, demand for the new school would be immediate with the development of Steamboat 700. She said the district’s plans for the new school would become clearer when the district unveils its facility master plan next year.

Other school news ■ The district won’t have to take any parents to small claims court to collect unpaid fullday kindergarten tuition, Leah Henderson, the district’s office manager, said Thursday. In June, Cunningham told the School Board that the district was owed about $5,000. That had decreased to $1,500 from four parents when the district indicated last month it would take legal action if it were unable to recoup the tuition. Of those four parents, two have paid in full and two agreed to payment plans with the district, Henderson said. Full-day kindergarten was offered for the first time in the district last year after the School Board approved tuitionbased full-day kindergarten in March 2008. ■ The district also approved all interdistrict transfers, Cunningham said. The issue was brought before the School Board in June when some parents of children who live outside the school district, but attended its schools last year, were informed there wasn’t any room for their children in 2009-10. The students, in kindergar-

��

ten and first grade, were allowed to attend district schools after applying through Steamboat’s interdistrict policy. It allows students to Crossan attend the schools even if they live outside district boundaries, if there’s room. When school ended in May, parents of seven Cunningham children were told there wasn’t room. Debbie Ginesta, secretary to the superintendent, said Thursday that an additional first-grade class at Soda Mulcahy Creek Elementary School and some parents pulling their children out of full-day kindergarten created enough openings for the interdistrict students. ■ Cunningham said that with an additional first-grade class at Soda Creek and sixth-grade class at Steamboat Springs Middle School, the district’s enrollment was up from a year ago. Ginesta said that as of Monday, the district’s 2009-10 enrollment was 2,086 students, excluding alternative classes, which she estimated at about 20 students. There were 2,080 students as of the Oct. 1, 2008, student count, which is the number that determines how much per-pupil funding the district receives from the state of Colorado. Ginesta said enrollment likely would increase until Oct. 1, when the official student count is taken for the upcoming school year, as more students enter the district.

Officials try to build excitement in children Fair continued from 3 know,” Routt County Extension Director CJ Mucklow said. Magic is about 100 pounds too small to go to market, and Halle’s mother, Keri Hamilton, said the plan is to fold Magic back into the family’s flock of ewes anyway. Halle was responsible for taking care of Magic for two months and has learned some basics of showmanship. She demonstrated how to properly walk around the front of an animal, rather than its rear.

And although she and Magic are about the same weight, Halle demonstrated some impressive ranch toughness with a quick, firm yank of the rope whenever Magic wandered off course. Halle said Magic is well-behaved for the most part. “I trained her too well. She’s too nice to be a biter,” said Halle, who laughed when asked about Magic’s pink collar. “It’s not for lambs. It’s for cats.” Fair officials said that to keep 4-H programs strong, they have to build excitement in chil-

dren at a young age. “It’s great entertainment for us. It’s all for fun,” 4-H Agent Jay Whaley said about the bum lamb contest. “It just makes them part of the fair. It’s another event for the community to get involved in.” The Routt County Fair continues today with events including dress your animal, beef showmanship, a wine- and beer-tasting and contest, and a demolition derby. — To reach Brandon Gee, call 871-4210 or e-mail bgee@steamboatpilot.com

Moose often will defend their territories Moose continued from 11 their way to Routt County. In 1997, moose were introduced into Rio Grande National Forest near Creede. In 2005, moose were transplanted to the Grand Mesa in western Colorado. And earlier this year, the first moose transplant into the Flat Tops Wilderness Area east of Meeker was conducted. Moose are unique and exciting animals to watch. In Routt County, moose most frequently are seen in wet areas with mountain streams or lakes that are near aspen or conifer forests. The best vantage point is a high spot overlooking one of these areas. Moose can be observed anytime during the day, but the hours during dawn or dusk usually are the best for viewing wildlife. Moose are fairly tolerant of humans; however, all wildlife should be viewed and photographed from a safe distance. Although moose provide fantastic wildlife viewing opportunities, people should use caution when encountering these magnificent animals. Moose are extremely large and, like all wildlife, can be potentially dangerous animals. Females often are

protective of their young, and males can act aggressively, especially during the fall breeding season. Moose can be territorial and will defend their territories, so never approach too close to any moose. Additionally, when recreating in moose country, you should consider leaving your dogs at home, as even a leashed dog can agitate any moose you encounter on the trails. Moose may charge and even attack pets or humans if provoked. If a moose is acting aggressive, abnormally or seems disturbed by your presence, back away slowly and leave the area. Signs of aggression may include a moose walking slowly and deliberately toward you, ears laid back, licking its nose, and hair on the back of its neck standing on end. If charged, run! Try to get a tree, vehicle or other large object between you and the moose. If you have an encounter with an aggressive moose, immediately contact your local Division of Wildlife office. Another concern with a growing moose population in rural agricultural communities is the potential for agricultural conflicts. Fortunately, ranchers operating in moose reintroduction areas have

experienced very few conflicts. Growing crop and fence damages typically are minimal. Moose are solitary animals and don’t form large herds. Moose occasionally will cause damage to harvested hay crops during the winter. If you experience agricultural damages caused by moose, contact your local Division of Wildlife office.

Emergency calls still will be routed to Routt County Sheriff’s Office deputies, and any code violations reported during the time Finley is not working will be held until the next working day. “We’re not going to call her out for a dog at large or a barking dog or anything like that,” Rossi said. Police Commissioner Chuck Wisecup also reported that he, fellow police commissioner Dave Ege and Rossi met with Routt County Sheriff Gary Wall and two sergeants Aug. 4 to discuss continuing police coverage for major crimes in Oak Creek. Wisecup said the long-term goal of the town still is a separate police department, but until that time, Oak Creek will continue to use coverage from the Sheriff’s Office.

Liquor sees smallest drop Sales tax continued from 6 August have been good months, so I’m kind of hoping that the decline evens out or gets to a flat point,” he said. Liquor stores saw the smallest decline, 3.3 percent. That represented a decrease from about $51,000 in June 2008 to nearly $50,000 in June 2009. Alpine Liquor owner Bruce Wasko would say only, “It’s going to get better,” referring to the economy. The city also measures sales tax by region. The mountain area saw the biggest decline in sales tax collections: 38.2 percent. Western Steamboat saw a decrease of 32.9 percent in sales tax collections for June. Litzau attributed that to a construction slowdown. “A lot of building contractors bought supplies out there,” he said. “With the lack of building activity, they’re not buying anything.” Steamboat usually sees its strongest sales tax collections during ski season, particularly in December, January and February. Last summer, July and August were the strongest months.

Organizers invite ‘sisters’ the women in 30 days. “Just ‘always be curious’ is what I’m trying to instill in these women, because as adults we become experts in a few things,” she said. “We don’t expand our horizons.” Other events include a financial workshop, a journaling workshop, bike tours, a walking historical tour, a fly-fishing clinic and a “wild women in the West” party. Registration is $60 a person, and Barnett said several local hotels are offering packages to coincide with the Sisters event. Few meals are planned, Barnett said, in the hopes that women will eat at local restaurants. Organizers have invited their own “sisters.” Alice Klauzer, assistant vice president of business development at Alpine Bank, said some of her high school friends from Nebraska plan to attend.

Hankins’ confession — made Aug. 24, 2007, to Kenney and Joe DeAngelo, an investigator for the 14th Judicial District Attorney’s Office and the other lead investigator in the case — included statements that he killed Cynthia, then cut her body into pieces and buried it on his gold claim north of Craig. The recording also included

��

During his cross-examination, Scott Troxell, one of Hankins’ public defenders, questioned whether new evidence changed Kenney’s mind or whether she wanted to believe Hankins was guilty from the start. Troxell based much of his opening statements to the jury Wednesday on the defense’s position that Terry killed Cynthia in self-defense, as she had a history of abusing him and allegedly beat him with a fan the night of her death. After Kenney confirmed there were several Craig Police reports concerning Cynthia’s abuse of Terry — and none the other way around — Troxell asked whether Kenney considered Cynthia’s “hundreds of pages of criminal history” before deciding it might not be a case of self-defense. Kenney testified those records were part of DeAngelo’s portion of the case but that she had some knowledge of some incidents.

��

Kenney and DeAngelo speaking to Terry before his confession. The two law enforcement officers told Terry several times they knew he killed Cynthia in self-defense. “We want to give Cynthia a good Christian burial,” DeAngelo said on the recording. “It’s important to (her) kids. We genuinely believe you’re a good man. You got caught in a situation with a bad woman. … We know it was a self-defense issue, Terry. We know that.” Terry initially reacted skeptically to DeAngelo and Kenney’s requests to tell them where he buried the body. “I don’t know how that works,” he said on the recording. “You guys are supposed to prosecute me, and my lawyer I guess defends me.” But, after a few minutes, Terry said he would show them where he buried Cynthia’s body, even if his lawyer probably would be against it.

Several events have been added to the inaugural Steamboat All Arts Festival schedule, with opportunities for local film and culinary arts enthusiasts taking their place on the four-day event calendar. “Film & Feast,” a dinner and movie lecture event hosted by former film producer Dori Weiss, is at 5:30 p.m. Aug. 22 at the St. Cloud Mountain Club. Weiss, who has hosted several editions of her dinner-andlecture events since moving to Steamboat Springs, will give tips about an as-yet-unnamed American movie, screen the film, and lead a discussion afterward, Chamber spokeswoman Molly Killien said.

How to help The Chamber is looking for volunteers to work 2- to 4-hour shifts in various areas in the All Arts Festival on Thursday to Aug. 23. Volunteers are needed for beverage service, ticketing, artist support, setup and breakdown, among other areas. For more information, call Marion Ayer at 875-7008 or email marion@steamboatchamber.com.

For its “Sips & Sweets” dessert and drink tasting contest, the Chamber invited local restaurants to prepare a specialty sweet and beverage to share with All Arts Festival patrons from 8 to 10 p.m. Thursday to Aug. 22. About 10 restaurants are participating, and the venue with the most votes for favorite drink and dessert pairing will be awarded a plaque, Killien said. Other schedule additions include a book signing and mul-

timedia presentation by local artist and author Bonnie McGee, of her new book “Voices on the Wind”; that free event is from 7 to 8 p.m. Thursday at Bud Werner Memorial Library. A dedication of “Let the Music Play,” a new piece of public art at Little Toots Park, is at 11 a.m. Aug. 22. More than 20 workshops focusing on topics from all areas of the art world offer experiential learning to festival participants from Thursday to Aug. 23. Local arts professionals will lead the workshops, which Killien said she hopes will give “the public a chance to get their hands dirty and try these things out and learn from the professionals.” The All Arts Festival starts with a free performance by rock See All Arts Festival, page 24

What’s playing Comedy, R, 90 minutes

A cheerfully, energetically vulgar comedy. Contains a lot of laughs and has studied Political Correctness only enough to make a list of groups to offend. It involves a failing car dealer (James Brolin) who calls in a hired gun (Jeremy Piven) and his team to move goods off the lot on the Fourth of July. With David Koechner, Kathryn Hahn, Ving Rhames, Ed Helms and Charles Napier. Rating: ★★★

‘The Time Traveler’s Wife’ Romance, PG-13, 107 minutes

Clare (Rachel McAdams) is in love with a man who frequently disappears into thin air, leaving behind his clothing in a pile on the floor. Henry (Eric Bana) is a time traveler whose trips are beyond his control. Another problem is that whenever he arrives at another time, he’s naked and has to steal clothes. Somehow the warmth of the actors makes it a bittersweet love story. Rating: ★★★

‘Bandslam’ Comedy, PG, 111 minutes

A geeky kid (Gaelan Connell) gets chosen to manage a popular girl’s (Aly Michalka) high school band for a big tri-state competition. He recruits a quiet loner (Vanessa Hudgens, of “High School Musical”) to join the band, romantic complications develop, and all is settled. Charming, and not any more innocuous than it has to be. Rating: ★★★

‘District 9’ Science fiction, R, 111 minutes

An alien spaceship hovers over Johannesburg, its occupants stranded and starving. They’re placed in a fenced-in district, where the locals fear and resent them. Looking like a cross between lobsters and grasshoppers, they’re sort of loathsome, but one human and one alien work together, in a mockumentary with apartheid parallels. Rating: ★★★

‘500 Days of Summer’ Comedy, PG-13, 95 minutes

Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) had Summer (Zooey Deschanel) in his life for 500 days and can’t accept that they were numbered. She had absolutely no interest in getting married. A delightful comedy of bittersweet romance, stylishly inventive, charmingly acted, that tries everything from a musical number to a blackand-white sequence to deal with a story that refuses to be a wellbehaved romcom. Directed by Marc Webb. Rating: ★★★★

‘The Hurt Locker’

��

War drama, R, 127 minutes

Jeremy Renner stars as a bomb-defusing specialist who dismantles bombs under fire in Iraq. Not a phony action movie, no false alarms, but almost unbearable suspense in a story that asks: Why does he do it? In a movie about bombs, this one doesn’t depend on its effect on blowing things up. Rating: ★★★★

‘G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra’ Action, PG-13, 118 minutes

Sequences involve the faces and other body parts of human beings. It is sure to be enjoyed by those whose movie appreciation is defined by the ability to discern that moving pictures and sound are being employed to depict violence. Nevertheless, it is better than “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.” Rating: ★★

‘Julie & Julia’ Comedy, PG-13, 123 minutes

A frustrated Queens wife vows to write a blog about cooking her way through Julia Child’s “Mastering the Art of French Cooking,” 524 recipes in 365 days. Amy Adams and Meryl Streep are engaging, and Streep’s impersonation of Child is uncanny. Rating: ★★★

‘The Ugly Truth’ Romantic comedy, R, 95 minutes

Katherine Heigl plays the producer of a failing early morning newscast, and Gerard Butler is the macho local cable star brought in to boost her ratings. The actors are likable but the comedy bogs down in relentless predictability. Rating: ★★

‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince’ Fantasy, PG, 153 minutes

LOS ANGELES

Steven Tyler is thanking the Sturgis, S.D., police department and others who helped him after he fell off the stage during a performance at the city’s famous motorcycle rally earlier this month. In a lengthy statement issued Thursday, Tyler says he broke his left shoulder and needed 20 stitches in his head after the Aug. 5 accident in Sturgis. The 61-year-old Aerosmith frontman also thanks the band’s crew, the helicopter that evacuated him “for getting me outta there before I bled to death,” and the doctors and nurses who treated him.

Durango cuts use of paper City Council expects to save $24K by posting agendas online THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AROUND COLORADO DURANGO

Durango expects to save $24,000 by cutting out the paper and time needed to print and distribute paper agendas for city meetings. The agendas for meetings of the City Council, planning and review boards and their study sessions will be available online. City Clerk Amy Philips at a meeting this week said the city used 40,000 pages last year as it produced 14 agendas per week for 56 meetings. Durango faces a $1 million budget shortfall this year despite already trimming $2.9 million. Officials are proposing asking city employees to take four unpaid furlough days off work.

Bleak sales a reality check

��

Economists worry about low consumer spending trends Christopher S. Rugaber THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

��

A bleak report on retail sales Thursday reinforced a nagging worry of economists: Shoppers won’t spend enough to help a recovery take hold. The figures served as a reality check for an economy that lately has appeared poised to emerge from recession and grow again. Consumer spending powers about 70 percent of economic activity.

��

�

��

The Cash for Clunkers rebate program helped give auto sales to their biggest jump in six months in July, but sales sank elsewhere. Gas stations, department stores, electronics outlets and furniture stores suffered. Overall, sales fell 0.1 percent, according to the Commerce Department, after two months of modest gains. Economists had expected a 0.7 percent increase. Excluding autos, sales fell 0.6 percent, also much worse than predicted. Unemployment, flat wages, tighter credit, fear of layoffs and to urge to save more have caused many consumers to spend less. Shrinking home equity and stock portfolios have compounded the problem. As a result, “Households are in no position to drive a decent economic recovery,” Paul Dales, U.S. economist at Capital Economics, wrote in a note to clients. Even Wal-Mart, which had managed to post robust sales during the recession, reported an unexpected drop in quarterly earnings. The company faulted lower prices for groceries and other products. But it warned that the economy is also still forcing customers to scale back

their purchases. The latest figures came just a day after the Federal Reserve said the economy appeared to be “leveling out.” The Fed, signaling the recession appears to be ending, said it would hold interest rates at their current record lows. Meanwhile, the number of newly laid-off workers seeking jobless benefits increased last week, the government said, in another sign of a weak job market. And for those who still have jobs, fear of losing them can cause them to spend less. “The dismal job situation is the dark storm cloud hanging over consumers,” said Jennifer Lee, an economist at BMO Capital Markets.

Southwest bid for Frontier Airlines hits snag Thursday Joshua Freed

Plans by Southwest Airlines to buy Frontier Airlines out of bankruptcy hit a snag Thursday as pilots for the two carriers failed to work out a deal about how they would merge their ranks. Southwest has reported its $170 million bid to take Frontier out of Chapter 11 is contingent on pilots from the two airlines making a deal on seniority. As of Thursday, that hadn’t happened. Talks ended between the two pilot unions about midnight Wednesday, said Carl Kuwitzky, president of the Southwest Airlines Pilots’ Association. Seniority is a key issue for pilots; in a merger, seniority rankings can be more contentious than pay. Seniority determines a pilot’s rights for schedules and protects them if there are layoffs. Kuwitzky said the Southwest pilots’ offer was to put Frontier pilots at the bottom of the combined seniority list. For pilots in an airline merger, that’s considered the worst possible outcome. An auction had been expect-

ed to begin Thursday to sort out competing bids by Southwest and regional jet operator Republic Airways Holdings. On Monday, Southwest bid $170 million for Frontier, topping an earlier $108.8 million bid by Republic. Southwest spokesman Chris Mainz said the airline is still participating in the process but he declined to provide details. He said the auction process can continue through Monday. Republic has said it would keep Frontier as a stand-alone carrier, while Southwest plans to absorb the airline over about two years, dumping Frontier’s Airbus planes in favor of its allBoeing 737 fleet. Kuwitzky said Southwest pilots offered to guarantee that their Frontier colleagues would not lose pay if they go from being a Frontier captain to being a Southwest first officer. Kuwitzky said they based their offer to Frontier pilots on the career expectations of both. Southwest pilots had higher career expectations than Frontier pilots, who work for a carrier that won’t get out of bankruptcy unless someone else buys it, he said.

Recent plane collision highlights near-misses in same airspace

Lead limits take effect for small businesses Jennifer C. Kerr

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

Tighter limits on the amount of lead the government allows in children’s products and a requirement for new tracking labels are stirring fear among small business owners, already hurting in a tough economy. Starting today, the new limits and labels are required as part of a consumer product safety law passed by Congress last summer in the wake of dozens of recalls of lead-tainted toys. Consumer advocates hailed the measures. But some small businesses, such as American

Educational Products in Fort Collins — it sells classroom teaching aids such as flash cards, animal models, globes and relief maps — say the testing and labeling costs are crippling to their operations even though their products are safe. They want the law amended to exempt products that present little or no risk to young children. “The challenge as a small business is that I cannot do it all (the testing) immediately,” said Michael Warring, president of AMEP. “I would have to spend a full year of revenue to test every product I sell.” Warring recently laid off four

of his 70 employees. In his 15 years with AMEP, he has not had one safety recall or complaint about lead. Even so, Warring said he is required to test samplings of all products he makes and sells for young children, which he said costs about $2,000 per product. The tracking labels will add another cost, he said, because they must be a permanent marking on each product. The new chairman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Inez Tenenbaum, has tried to reassure businesses that the agency will work with them as it enforces the new requirements.

tiny fraction of incidents within that corridor, and experts say most near misses, regardless of where they happen in the U.S., go unreported, meaning the actual number of close calls probably is much higher. There were additional close calls between helicopters and planes reported in 2001, 2000, 1995, 1994 and 1996, when a plane on another sightseeing flight near the statue descended to avoid a helicopter and came within 300 feet of the water. “I’m surprised we haven’t had more incidents,” said Chris Meigs, an assistant professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University who became familiar with the Hudson River airspace while flying for a commercial airline out of Newark, N.J. “It’s a really, really busy airspace,” she said. “You need to be a fairly skilled pilot to handle it. There isn’t much margin for error.”

NEW YORK

When a small plane collided with a sightseeing helicopter over the Hudson River last week, it was only the second time in decades that crowded skies near Manhattan led to a midair crash. But an Associated Press review of pilots’ safety reports found many more near-misses in the same airspace in recent years, including several between small planes and helicopters flying the busy river corridor near the Statue of Liberty. Almost all the incidents involved small aircraft flying at low altitude in an area where pilots pick their own routes and watch for conflicts without help from air traffic controllers. In 2006, the pilot of a prop plane headed south for a sightseeing swing around the Statue of Liberty said he may have inadvertently passed just 50 feet

above a helicopter flying a similar route. In 1998, the pilot of an air taxi headed to LaGuardia from a heliport on Manhattan’s West Side reported that he came within 200 to 300 feet of being clipped by a Cessna. One pilot complained about a harrowing 1996 flight down the Hudson to his home airport in Linden, N.J. He had three close calls in 20 minutes. “Do we need another midair before the FAA ... gets its act together?!” he wrote. Pilots provided the accounts of near-misses through the Aviation Safety Reporting System, which allows fliers and air traffic controllers to voluntarily and anonymously disclose incidents they thought involved a safety risk. A database of those reports included at least 11 incidents filed since 1990 that described aircraft coming dangerously close over the Hudson. Those reports involve only a

Federal auto program has some used dealers feeling the crunch Michael Felberbaum THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RICHMOND, VA. ��

��

One man’s clunker is another man’s meal ticket. Mom and Pop used-car dealers are feeling the crunch as the old Caravans and Cherokees that provide their livelihood get traded in and banished to junkyards under Cash for Clunkers. By some estimates, three of every five of the used cars turned in for government rebates would have ended up on used car lots or resold for parts. While the Clunkers program helped push sales of new cars in July to the highest level in nearly a year, sales of used cars have taken a beating. “We’re struggling, and a lot of us small guys are going out of business,” said James Dameron, sales and finance manager at

Consumer groups question Clunker deals Dan Strumpf

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK

Consumer advocacy groups are calling on the Department of Transportation to crack down on dealerships offering questionable sales terms to customers participating in the government’s Cash for Clunkers program. The groups complained that some dealerships have pressured customers to sign agreements forcing them to repay their Clunkers rebate if the dealership isn’t reimbursed for the sale. DOT officials said car buyers are not required to sign the so-called contingency forms to qualify for a Clunkers transaction, but the groups said the waiver should be banned altogether. “It involves dealers attempting to shift the risk from themselves to consumers if the Cash for Clunker deals don’t go through,” said

Rosemary Shahan, president of Sacramento-based Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety. “We believe it is a form of bait and switch.” The program allows car buyers to receive a rebate of either $3,500 or $4,500 if they trade in old vehicles that get 18 mpg or less and replace it with a new, more fuel-efficient car or truck. The program has been a hit with consumers and automakers. President Barack Obama earlier this month signed a bill adding $2 billion more in funding. But the program’s execution has had some problems. For example, dealers — who must pay for the rebates out of pocket and then wait to get reimbursed by the government — have complained it can take days or weeks to get their claims processed, leaving them worried about getting repaid. “While problems with application submissions for the

clunkers program have been significantly reduced, getting approval for dealer reimbursement requests is still facing significant hurdles,” said John Lyboldt, a National Association of Automobile Dealers vice president, in a statement. Dealerships have said they asked customers to sign the waivers as a form of selfprotection. Bailey Wood, an NADA spokesman, said waivers are a way of protecting dealers from being stuck with rebates they offered but can’t get reimbursed. “Dealers are out hundreds of thousands and in some cases millions of dollars in back Cash-for-Clunkers transactions,” Wood said. “It’s getting to the point that some dealers can’t afford to participate in the program.” Wood said one chain of dealerships in the Washington area is waiting to get paid for $3.8 million in Clunker rebates. Another dealer in South Carolina has ordered his sales staff to stop offering Clunker deals altogether until he starts to get paid for some transactions, he said. The program is administered by the DOT. A DOT spokeswoman did not immediately comment. One contingency form, drafted by the Minnesota Auto Dealers Association, states that “if for any reason” it is not reimbursed for a Clunkers transaction, the customer must “pay the dealership the (Clunker) incentive amount in cash or return the new vehicle to the dealership.”

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 75 percent of those infections occurred in the Chicago area, a region that “continues to be a persistent focus of activity,” said Dr. Tony Goldberg, a University of Wisconsin epidemiologist who is leading the West Nile study. “In Cook County and the suburbs of Chicago is where we get the most reports of the virus,” said Melaney Arnold, a spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of Public Health. Sixty percent of new human cases of the virus in Illinois happen in Cook County, the department reports. By tracking birds, mosquitoes and the weather, Goldberg’s team hopes to figure out exactly why West Nile virus is transmitted there at higher

rates. One goal is to discover the reasons certain birds are more susceptible to the virus, perhaps different habits or weaker immune systems. The findings also may help scientists understand, in general, why viruses become more prevalent in specific areas. “West Nile virus is here to stay,” Goldberg said. “It’s an important disease and an excellent model system to study other diseases of the future so we can be in a much better position to prevent outbreaks.” “We need these types of natural history studies going in the long term so we can detect when a new disease comes up as the world becomes a smaller place,” said Dominic Travis, a veterinary epidemiologist at the Lincoln Park Zoo.

Researcher Gabe Hamer, left, and veterinary science student Jessica Girard try to determine the gender of a robin in a wooded area of Oak Lawn, Ill., in July. They are part of a research team trapping mosquitoes, catching birds and testing their blood to try to find out why West Nile virus and other mosquito-borne diseases are prevalent in the suburbs south of Chicago.

��

On a warm, breezy day in Oak Lawn, Ill., veterinary graduate student Jessica Girard, of the University of WisconsinMadison, removed a robin from a finely threaded net hidden in the shadows of a tree-lined meadow. Gently, she extended its wings to check for emerging feathers and look for parasites. She took measurements, noting patterns in the feathers indicating the robin’s age. Her fingers traced its orange chest, feeling along the bone for telltale fat deposits that signal a healthy bird. Girard needed a blood sample from the robin to test the strength of its immune system, and she had to work quickly, before the bird’s stress weakened its immune response. She moved feathers from the bird’s neck, baring translucent skin colored with fine blood vessels. Whispering soothing words, she drew her sample with a needle. In all, Girard and her colleagues would catch and test four robins, a sparrow, a cardinal and a blue jay on this morning as part of a research effort aimed at understanding why certain neighborhoods in the Chicago area are “hot spots” for the West Nile virus. Mosquitoes transmit the virus to humans after feeding on infected birds, leading to sickness and even death. In 2002, as West Nile became an epidemic and moved west across the U.S., Illinois led the nation with 21 percent of all human infections, according to the

Voting observers expect fraud during next week’s Afghan presidential election and warn that cheating most likely will take place at polling stations in remote or dangerous areas where independent monitors won’t be able to be present. A suspiciously high number of women — far more than men — have been registered to vote in culturally conservative provinces where President Hamid Karzai expects to do well, a leading election monitor said this week. An adviser to the top U.S. commander said the black market for voter registration cards is flourishing and that she could have personally bought 1,000.

U.S. Marines fire into Afghanistan Alfred de Montesquiou THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DAHANEH, AFGHANISTAN

U.S. aircraft and missiles pounded Taliban mountainside positions around Dahaneh on Thursday as Marines pushed through mudbrick compounds searching for militants in the second day of fighting to seize this strategic southern town. Also in the south, four NATO service members — three British and one American — were killed in separate explosions Thursday, military officials said. August’s casualty count is likely to surpass the record 75 deaths U.S. and NATO troops suffered in July, the deadliest month for the international force in the nearly eight-year war. The violence comes as Afghans prepare to vote in Aug. 20 presidential elections. U.S. Marines launched a maj-

or assault Wednesday against Taliban forces in Dahaneh, a town of 2,000 people that controls major trade routes in the northern part of Helmand, the southern province that has become center stage in the war. By Thursday evening, the Marines and Afghan troops had managed to take about half the town, with Taliban resistance tougher than expected. As sporadic clashes continued in Dahaneh, Marine Cobra attack helicopters fired rockets at Taliban positions in the nearby mountains where militants were thought to be firing at troops in the town. Later, U.S. A-10 fighterbombers fired multiple rounds into the barren, rocky cliffs overlooking what the Marines call “Hell’s Pass,” the entrance into the Now Zad valley, and U.S. surface-to-surface missiles, fired from the main Marine base, pounded the hillsides.

Four suicide truck bombers exploded nearly simultaneously in Qahataniya on Aug. 14, 2007, killing as many as 500 Yazidis. The bombers detonated their explosives Thursday inside the Ayoub cafe as the popular sunset destination was packed with people drinking tea and playing dominoes. City officials imposed a curfew and said some of the most seriously wounded were evacuated to hospitals in the nearby semiautonomous Kurdish region.

A double suicide bombing devastated a cafe packed with young people in northwestern Iraq on Thursday, killing at least 21 people, officials said, in the latest attack against a minority community. The blast capped a deadly week in which nearly 150 people have been killed in bombings concentrated near the vola-

tile northern city of Mosul and Baghdad, heightening fears that Sunni insurgents are stepping up efforts to stoke ethnic and sectarian tensions. Thursday’s attack occurred shortly after 5 p.m. in Sinjar, a city dominated by members of the Kurdish-speaking Yazidi religious group that is concentrated near the Syrian border. It came two years after a village near Sinjar was hit by one of the worst insurgent attacks since the 2003 U.S. invasion.

West weighs arming ships France, Belgium put troops on merchant boats to fight piracy Christopher Torchia THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ISTANBUL

Challenging a global aversion to guns aboard ships, France has put troops on tuna boats in the Indian Ocean, and Belgium is offering military units to its merchant vessels off the Horn of Africa. Now, U.S. lawmakers are weighing similar action to fight piracy. Opponents fear such moves will escalate the violence and raise a minefield of legal issues. In June, the U.S. House of Representatives passed an amen-

dment that would require the Department of Defense to put armed teams on U.S.-flagged ships passing through high-risk waters, specifically around the Horn of Africa where Somali pirates have become a scourge of world shipping. The amendment now goes to the Senate. A separate bill introduced last month would grant immunity from prosecution in American courts to any “owner, operator, time charterer, master, or mariner who uses force, or authorizes the use of force, to defend a vessel of the United States against an act of piracy.”

Both measures face tough debate — U.S. military resources are spread thin and onboard weapons, especially in the hands of civilian crew, are seen as an extreme option. “Work and watch-keeping take up most of a seafarer’s day,” Sam Dawson, of the International Transport Workers’ Federation, which represents hundreds of unions, stated by e-mail. “The practice, handling and use of weapons would be a duty too far.” But there is a strong push for action since the April seizure of the MV Maersk Alabama.

But in Africa, it quickly became a footnote. What people wanted to hear was support for democracy, clean government and ending its many civil wars. Clinton’s ambitious itinerary resembled those of China’s foreign minister, who makes extensive annual tours of his country’s allies on the continent. But where China tends to sidestep the issues of corruption democracy, Clinton confronted them head-on. Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga, speaking hours before Clinton arrived, said Africa did not need to be lectured about democracy. After they met, she did just that. “The absence of strong and effective democratic institutions has permitted ongoing corruption, impunity, politically motivated violence and a lack of respect for a rule of law,” Clinton said. “These conditions ... are continuing to hold Kenya back.”

Cyclists prep for 24-hour bike race Residents to ride in Gunnison Joel Reichenberger PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

There’s nothing easy about a 24-hour mountain bike race, and Steamboat Springs riders hitting the road this weekend for the 24 Hours in the Sage race in Gunnison stopped short of using the “e” word to describe the challenge. But it’s a course without the punishing sand of Moab, Utah, and it’s a smoother ride than the trail at last month’s 24-hour world championships in Canada. The 24 Hours in the Sage race has longer circuits than the 18 hours of Fruita, which signaled the start of the season for local endurance riders. “It’s a fun course that won’t wreck your body. It’s a course that lends itself really well to singlespeed racing,” said Steamboat resident Nate Bird, heading to compete on a four-person singlespeed team. Not easy, but fun, was the consensus. A strong local contingent will head south for the race, which stretches from noon Saturday to noon Sunday. Local riders will be looking not just to have a good time but to extend their dominance at the event. Kris Cannon will try to defend her title. She smashed the solo competition in the race a year ago. She finished 14, 15-mile laps on the course — five more laps than any of her chasers. Last year’s triumph was more than just another race for Cannon. It was a starting point. She went on to finish second at the 24 Hours of Moab, win this season’s 18 Hours of Fruita and finish sixth in July’s 24 Hours of Adrenalin World Championships in Canmore, Alberta. “Fitness-wise, I’m definitely better this year,” Cannon said. “I started prepping so much earlier this year, with the 18 Hours of Fruita.

A smiling and svelte LaMont Jordan sauntered off the Denver Broncos’ practice field minus any hint of a limp. “There’s three things I’m not talking about — my health, Vegas and anything else,” he announced. Asked anyway, Jordan wouldn’t talk about the knee he tweaked in a tackling drill recently, and he wouldn’t address the $20,000 in gam-

bling debts plus interest that he’s being sued over after a night of gambling at The Mirage hotelcasino last summer. Jordan He wouldn’t even discuss whether he learned his silent tactic from his lone season in New England. “You’ll have to ask Coach about that,” was his familiar refrain to any and all inquiries.

Until it came to the one thing he was eager to discuss: his new physique. Jordan has dropped 30 pounds from his 5-foot-10 frame since following coach Josh McDaniels from New England to Denver in the winter and signing a twoyear, $2.5 million contract. “I was just tired of being average,” Jordan said. After weighing in at an astonishing 258 pounds, he’s

Still, the senior turned his round right around. He carded four birdies on the way to his second-place finish. Dodson said players have to work on some part of their game but that all need to sharpen their short games. The team travels to Grand Junction next week for a tournament. Steamboat will play Bookcliff Country Club on Monday and Tiara Rado Golf

Course on Tuesday. Dodson said the team is familiar with the courses and that he expects scores to be better. “There will be fast greens over there, as well,” he said. “(Thursday) was a good experience for them. It shows what we have to do for the team to get better.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

Fish is the reigning Gunnison men’s champion and was third in the singlespeed

Vail cyclist Ryan Sullivan. “I don’t want to jinx our chances, but I want to win our division,” Bird said. “We can do pretty well overall, too.

Brewers beat Padres, 12-9 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

��

MILWAUKEE

Reds 7, Nationals 0 CINCINNATI

Jonny Gomes homered in his first three at-bats to back Bronson Arroyo’s twohitter and Cincinnati beat Washington, 7-0, on Thursday night. Gomes hit two-run homers in the second and fourth innings and added a solo shot in the sixth to help the Reds take a 7-0 lead. He struck out in the eighth inning. It is the second time in Gomes’ career he hit three homers, the first on July 30, 2005, against Kansas City. He is the sixth player to hit three homers in a game this season. Pittsburgh’s Andrew McCutchen was the last on Aug. 1.

Phillies 6, Cubs 1 CHICAGO

Cliff Lee won his third straight start since joining Philadelphia, and the National League East leaders beat Chicago for its first sweep at Wrigley Field in 25 years. Shane Victorino had two hits and scored twice. The All-Star center fielder had no problems with the crowd, a day after he was doused with beer while catching a fly ball, prompting Victorino to file a police report. The Cubs management apologized to him. Lee (3-0) allowed one run and six hits in eight innings. He struck out eight and walked three to win his sixth straight start overall. He also helped himself with a double.

Marlins 9, Astros 2 MIAMI

Jorge Cantu and Ronny Paulino homered for Florida, which has won six of its past seven.

MLB ROUNDUP Sean West (4-4) allowed one run and five hits in six innings for the Marlins, who remained 4 1/2 games behind first-place Philadelphia in the NL East.

Yankees 11, Mariners 1 SEATTLE

Hideki Matsui had his fourth career two-home run game and a season-high five RBIs and CC Sabathia struck out a seasonhigh 10 as New York began its longest trip of the year with an 11-1 win against Seattle. The Yankees had a 5-0 lead one out into the third inning without Alex Rodriguez, who may also miss Friday with a bruised elbow, and Jorge Posada, their bruised catcher who said he could have played.

CLEVELAND

Scott Feldman pitched six sharp innings and Josh Hamilton had four hits, including a goahead two-run double for the Rangers. Feldman (12-4) worked out of trouble several times after allowing a first-inning run in winning his third straight start. The right-hander allowed seven hits and struck out six to improve to 8-1 with a 3.33 ERA in 10 road starts this season.

Tigers 2, Red Sox 0 BOSTON

Justin Verlander allowed four hits in eight innings and Ryan Raburn homered as Detroit avoided a four-game sweep. Verlander (13-6) struck out eight and walked one, retiring 16 of the past 19 batters he faced. Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for his 24th save.

Royals 5, Twins 4 MINNEAPOLIS

Gil Meche gave up four runs in five innings in his return from the disabled list, and the Royals won their first three-game series since the end of June. After allowing an RBI double to Mauer in the first, Meche (59) breezed through the next three innings. He had two outs in the fifth when he walked Denard Span and gave up a single to Cabrera.

Prince Fielder and backup catcher Mike Rivera each hit two home runs, and the struggling Brewers built a big lead before hanging on to beat the Padres. Fielder hit a 465-foot shot off the Miller Park scoreboard and Ryan Braun also homered as the Brewers connected a season-high five times. Manny Parra won his fifth straight decision despite allowing 13 hits in 5 2/3 innings. Parra (8-8) took a ninerun lead into the fifth inning, but allowed three runs on five straight singles and a sacrifice fly. San Diego rallied for three more runs off reliever David Weathers and a gaffe by second baseman Felipe Lopez in the eighth that made it 12-9.

Marquis, Tulowitzki lead Rockies Colorado takes down Pittsburgh Pirates, 10-1, on Thursday THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MLB DENVER

STEAMBOAT TODAY

Jim Tracy thinks his middle infielders have few equals offensively or defensively, and Troy Tulowitzki and Clint Barmes backed up their manager’s words. Jason Marquis allowed three hits in seven innings, Tulowitzki and Barmes homered, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 10-1, on Thursday. Dexter Fowler had four hits — three of them doubles — and scored three runs, and Barmes finished with three hits and three RBIs for the Rockies, who

won the final two games of the three-game series. Tulowitzki, who replaced Barmes as the starting shortstop two years ago, has 23 homers, one short of his rookie season total. Barmes has a career-high 17 homers. “That’s 40 home runs for the middle infield, and oh-by-theway gold-glove defense,” Tracy

said. “I think the only other tandem you can speak of in that vein would be the two guys that play over in Philadelphia. We have something special going on.” Tulowitzki, who has 18 homers since June 8, doesn’t worry about the Rockies’ defense being compared to other teams. “What I know and what I’m happy with is we both care about defense and we’re going to play the game the right way,” he said. “Let everybody else decide if we’re the best defensive duo.” Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley have one thing their counterparts in Colorado want — the World Series title the Phillies

won last year. Barmes thinks this Rockies team, which leads the National League wild-card race by 1 1/2 games over San Francisco, can get back to the postseason. “Hopefully, this continues and keep playing into October,” he said. “That’s the No. 1 goal.” The Rockies’ pitching staff will have a lot to do with that. Marquis (13-8) showed the form that earned him an All-Star selection this year by becoming the third pitcher in the National League to reach 13 wins. He’d been 0-2 in his previous three starts, but gave up one run and struck out six with three walks Thursday.

Buffs: We have what it takes to win again Arnie Stapleton

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOULDER

That “10 wins and no excuses” offseason comment by University of Colorado coach Dan Hawkins? He said it wasn’t a guarantee but an expectation, a holy grail for his talented but untested troops to shoot for. Offensive guard Ryan Miller loved it, and he’ll take it a step farther, even if his coach is more careful. “I’ll say it, it’s going to be 10 wins,” Miller insisted. That would double last year’s total, when the Buffs were done in by injuries at tailback and all along the offensive line as

they followed up a promising 3-0 start by losing seven of their last nine games. “I want to help bring this team back to the powerhouse that we used to be,” Miller said. “And I think we’re close.” So does Hawkins. “The expectation is excellence,” he said, explaining his 10-win comment. “I’m one of those guys people always say, ‘Aw, you’re really optimistic.’ I’m not Pollyanna, though. I look at this talent, experience and depth formula. That has to start surfacing.” Hawkins thinks this is the

year it all comes together. “There’s kind of been a backlash on that, people saying he guaranteed 10 wins,” wide receiver Scotty McKnight said. “As a player, you’ve got to love that your coach has that much confidence in you. You don’t want your coach to say, ‘Hopefully we’ll get six wins next year.”’ Hawkins has several big reasons for optimism, and most of them are stationed along the beefy offensive line anchored by Miller, a right guard who stands 6-foot-8 and weighs 320 pounds, and behemoth left tackle Nate Solder, who carries 305 pounds on his 6-foot-9 frame.
