Circus at the fair

Hula goats have dangerous habit of nibbling on grass skirts

headed over to the Routt County Fair on Friday morning naively expecting to cover a fall fashion show for barn animals. Instead, I found myself interviewing a hippie Angus calf named Pee Wee, a Dalmatian named Geronimo Tom Ross that had PILOT & TODAY horns like a rodeo bull, and a laying hen named Lollipop that wore a camouflage vest and rolled on its back to play dead. And that’s not all. I met charming twin sisters from Yampa who insisted they were Men in Black and that their 3-year-old goats, Max and Gilmore, were space aliens. Thursday marked a first in my journalism career — I interviewed a lamb named Farrah Fawcett. She was kind of cute.

Lacey Lewis, from left, Cosette McLaughlin and Shannon Ragan have learned the hard way that if you don’t keep a close eye on your hula goats, they’ll eat your grass skirts.

To top it off, I photographed a pair of Polynesian hula goats that reluctantly posed with three wahines. Yep, it was a memorable day. Officially, it was “Dress Your Animal” day at the fair. And

frankly, I’m surprised that some of the animals didn’t run away from home when they discovered what their owners had in mind for them. See Ross, page 12

State education officials have awarded North Routt Community Charter School a $3.1 million grant to help fund a new school in Clark, marking a major step forward in a grassroots fundraising effort. Colleen Poole, director of the charter school, said the funding announced Thursday will cover 65 percent of the total costs — including furniture, computers and other interior expenses, in addition to construction — of a new facility for the growing charter school. Poole has led fundraising efforts for a new facility since early 2008 and has compiled about $700,000, including $500,000 from a state Department of Local Affairs grant in December 2008 and about $200,000 in donations. On Friday morning, Poole said the impact of receiving $3.1 million for the project had not completely settled in her mind. “I’m still kind of digesting it, saying, ‘Is this really true? Is

Chamber barometer: Lodging to be 46 percent full tonight Blythe Terrell

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Steamboat Springs is expected to be about as full this weekend as it was for the same weekend last summer. The Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association’s lodging barometer showed that about 46 percent of the city’s rental pillows are expected to be full tonight. That represents about 6,400 visitors. The forecast for the same weekend last year was 45 percent. The actual occupancy then was higher: 54 percent. “We hope it’s going to be like every other weekend,” said Bea Westwater, general manager of the Alpiner Lodge. “We hope it’s a banner weekend.” Steamboat has hosted more visitors than expected during most weekends this summer. The forecast for Aug. 8, for example, was that the city’s lodging would be 64 percent full. It wound up being 75 percent full, which means 10,300 people were sleeping on rented pillows. That’s

higher than last year’s figure for the same weekend, which was 72 percent, or 10,100 people. The Mountain Travel Research Program monitors travel trends by observing 216 property management companies in 15 mountain towns. Those cities are in Colorado, Utah, California and British Columbia. Steamboat is among them. The program’s most recent figures are from June and were released July 20. “Certain travel segments seem to be holding steadier than others: family vacations, reunions, special occasions and ‘one-tank’ vacations are doing comparatively well while luxury, group and conference travel segments are weakest,” report author Ralf Garrison said in a news release. The group also said that it expects May to October business to show declines compared with 2008. “Advance reservations reveal dramatically decreased occupancy — down 24 percent — and a 15 percent decrease in room rates,” the report stat-

ed. “There was no evidence of enough short-term bookings to help fill the increased level of vacancies.” In Steamboat, lodging is projected to be 30 percent full Wednesday and 26 percent full Aug. 22. The Chamber is working to boost tourism during an off period by launching its All Arts Festival next weekend. Starting last winter, uncertain visitors were deciding closer to trip time whether to head for Steamboat. Westwater said her downtown motel typically brought in few advanced bookings. “I think it’s pervasive throughout the town now,” Westwater said. “I know everybody I talk to in the industry said that they don’t have a lot of notice, so we never know exactly how many people we’re going to have, because ours is not really a book ahead kind of property — it never has been. We depend on the people who decide on Friday, ‘we’re in Denver, and Steamboat seems like a good place to go for the weekend.’”

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

In a little more than a month, the Yampa Valley Community Foundation and Routt County United Way raised more than $30,000 in matching funds, ending the funding period with a total of $68,475. That money, raised in connection with the Community Cares Fund, will help organizations that are serving residents in need of food, housing, health care and a safe place to live in Routt County. The two organizations began fundraising July 1 after local organizations showed an increased need for service. “Our community really came together and made this effort a success,” Community Foundation Executive Director Betsey Jay said in a news release. More than 125 donors contributed anything from $10 to $15,000 to the fundraising efforts. To raise the money, the Community Foundation

and United Way approached a “leadership group” of donors to raise $30,000. That money then was matched through donations raised by the Steamboat Springs High School Class of 2009, Girl Scout Troop 1482 and private donors. United Way’s Human Resource Coalition distributed grant applications to health and human service agencies in Routt County. The committee will review all requests, and the first round of funding will be distributed Friday. The Steamboat Springs Rotary Club also will donate proceeds from its second annual Barn Dance to the Community Cares Fund. Any future donations to the fund will be distributed during fall and winter funding cycles.

Lex Burton was raised on the frontier hills of Browns Park, when that land was a jigsaw of ranches and fields, not the protected nature reserve of today. When he moved to Craig in 1965, he, his wife and their five children built a family home for themselves just north of what was, at the time, Craig city limits. When the city annexed his property some time thereafter, Burton agreed with one condition: they allow him to keep his horses, to which the city relented, but only as long as Burton was alive to take care of them. Now, as the pine trees he planted have grown 35 feet tall, that agreement has come under scrutiny, and Burton’s traditions might come up against an insurmountable opponent: progress. Burton is an old world person, a man who hangs on to certain ways of life now forgotten by most Americans. In the past few decades, progress has left him somewhat behind. Now 74, his children grown, Burton owns a lot of old things: three tractors made between 1946 and 1955, several 8-track

tape players and a horse-drawn buggy he built himself. “Oh, well, I’m fairly old,” he said. “All this new doesn’t bother me. I don’t care for it myself. If we were still in buggies and wagons, then the world’s not progressing.” However, progress came knocking on Burton’s door recently when the Craig Police Department informed him he would have to remove his horses from his property on Colorado Street or be fined. In response, he went to the Craig City Council meeting Tuesday to plead his case. Burton told the council about his agreement with the city’s former leaders, but he had no proof. Nothing was ever signed, Burton said to the council, because he had faith in what city officials told him. “I believed every word,” Burton said. “I have no proof. That was 30 years or better when that happened. “I firmly believe it yet today,” he later added, “and I’m not dead.” Burton submitted four pages of signatures from neighbors and others who support his cause.

COMMENTARY

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

Republican death trip Paul Krugman

THE NEW YORK TIMES

“I am in this race because I don’t want to see us spend the next year re-fighting the Washington battles of the 1990s. I don’t want to pit Blue America against Red America; I want to lead a United States of America.” So declared Barack Obama in November 2007, making the case that Democrats should nominate him, rather than one of his rivals, because Krugman he could free the nation from the bitter partisanship of the past. Some of us were skeptical. A couple of months after Obama gave that speech, I warned that his vision of a “different kind of politics” was a vain hope, that any Democrat who made it to the White House would face “an unending proces-

sion of wild charges and fake scandals, dutifully given credence by major media organizations that somehow can’t bring themselves to declare the accusations unequivocally false.” So, how’s it going? Sure enough, President Obama is now facing the same kind of opposition that President Bill Clinton had to deal with: an enraged right that denies the legitimacy of his presidency, that eagerly seizes on every wild rumor manufactured by the right-wing media complex. This opposition cannot be appeased. Some pundits claim that Obama has polarized the country by following too liberal an agenda. But the truth is that the attacks on the president have no relationship to anything he is actually doing or proposing. Right now, the charge that’s gaining the most traction is the claim that health care reform will create “death panels” (in Sarah Palin’s words) that will

shuffle the elderly and others off to an early grave. It’s a complete fabrication, of course. The provision requiring that Medicare pay for voluntary end-oflife counseling was introduced by Sen. Johnny Isakson, Republican — yes, Republican — of Georgia, who says that it’s “nuts” to claim that it has anything to do with euthanasia. And not long ago, some of the most enthusiastic peddlers of the euthanasia smear, including Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House, and Palin herself, were all for “advance directives” for medical care in the event that you are incapacitated or comatose. That’s exactly what was being proposed — and has now, in the face of all the hysteria, been dropped from the bill. Yet the smear continues to spread. And as the example of Gingrich shows, it’s not a fringe phenomenon: Senior GOP figures, including so-called moderSee Krugman, page 9

Pitchfork populists play press for putzes — again Mary Sanchez

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

The shame of the health care reform debate is not that citizens are coming unglued — though some of them certainly are. It’s that the media can’t seem to get enough of the outbursts of a few vocal people at town hall meetings across the country. We seem to have lost our way, suckered into showing the footage over and over again, so that the protests Sanchez are the story, period. Seriously, if I see one more airing of Sen. Arlen Specter being dressed down by that finger-waving constituent, or yet another showing of Sen. Claire McCaskill’s wounded “You don’t trust me?” to hecklers ... well, I just might go a bit rabid myself.

MALLARD FILLMORE

I think I’ve seen this movie before. I liked it better when it was called “Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.” Now we have heartland activists bellowing about “socialized medicine,” about the incipient “Obama Police State” that is somehow socialistic and fascistic at the same time, and about “death panels” itching to kill off the old and infirm. And now Democrats, who ought to be holding firm with measured sanity, are beginning to become prickly in return. “There is more anger in America today than at any time I can remember,” Specter said mournfully. Seriously? More than the heated backlash of protests during the Vietnam War? A few over-hyped YouTube airings of citizens acting stupidly is more dramatic than what the country felt after Watergate, or for that matter after 9/11? Granted, the tenor of your typical conservative gathering is a good deal

more shrill these days. The ugliness we saw during last year’s presidential campaign is now admixed with a great deal more frustration. Yet the oxygensucking displays of passion are hardly representative of the town hall meetings. Look closely at many tapes, and you’ll see calmer citizens quietly waiting for the commotion to end. Such a stepped-back perspective is important. For every momentarily crazed person seeking their 15 minutes of notoriety, thousands more are simply concerned and confused about what might happen to their health care — the care so many can’t afford now — and how much reform will cost. For the sake of these citizens, Democrats have to stay in this conversation. The same day that U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore, of Kansas, announced he wouldn’t hold large town hall meetings See Sanchez, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

ates, have endorsed the lie. Sen. Chuck Grassley, RIowa, is one of these supposed moderates. I’m not sure where his centrist reputation comes from — he did, after all, compare critics of the Bush tax cuts to Hitler. But in any case, his role in the health care debate has been flat-out despicable. Last week, Grassley claimed that his colleague Ted Kennedy’s brain tumor wouldn’t have been treated properly in other countries because they prefer to “spend money on people who can contribute more to the economy.” This week, he told an audience that “you have every right to fear,” that we “should not have a government-run plan to decide when to pull the plug on grandma.” Again, that’s what a supposedly centrist Republican,

a member of the Gang of Six trying to devise a bipartisan health plan, sounds like. So much, then, for Obama’s dream of moving beyond divisive politics. The truth is that the factors that made politics so ugly in the Clinton years — the paranoia of a significant minority of Americans and the cynical willingness of leading Republicans to cater to that paranoia — are as strong as ever. In fact, the situation may be even worse than it was in the 1990s, because the collapse of the Bush administration has left the GOP with no real leaders other than Rush Limbaugh. The question now is how Obama will deal with the death of his postpartisan dream. So far, at least, the Obama administration’s response to the outpouring of hate on the right has had a deer-in-the-

headlights quality. It’s as if officials still can’t wrap their minds around the fact that things like this can happen to people who aren’t named Clinton, as if they keep expecting the nonsense to just go away. What, then, should Obama do? It certainly would help if he gave clearer and more concise explanations of his health care plan. To be fair, he’s gotten much better at that during the past couple of weeks. What’s still missing, however, is a sense of passion and outrage — passion for the goal of ensuring that every American gets the health care he or she needs, outrage at the lies and fear-mongering that are being used to block that goal. So can Obama, who can be so eloquent when delivering a message of uplift, rise to the challenge of unreasoning, unappeasable opposition? Only time will tell.

Media doesn’t call protests what they are Sanchez continued from 8 with his constituents, thousands of people lined up in Los Angeles for the promise of free mammograms, blood pressure checks and basic immunizations. And a bipartisan reform bill in the works will not include Medicare coverage for advance care planning — you know, the consultations some are calling a slippery slope to euthanasia. In reality, such planning is simply conversations between patients and their doctors about the type of care the patients desire as they age and become afflict-

ed with diseases. These consultations benefit patients, their families, hospitals and medical staff, and — frankly — society as a whole. To retreat from covering these consultations, just on the basis of completely baseless and, ultimately, politically inspired fear, is sad beyond words. Yes, the public can be vile to people in the political arena — horribly rude and threatening. You want crazy? Listen to my voicemail messages on any given day. And that’s what bothers me about the abdication of our

media. We are not calling these protests and accusations what they are on page one and at the top of every broadcast. We treat them as a “side” of the argument, and dignify them with our refusal to say that a lie is a lie, and that a liar is a liar. Will the antics of a few be allowed to undermine crucial reforms that could serve the nation well for decades to come? It will be if the press continues to provide validation for hot air breathers seeking not to inspire sound questioning of policy but rather to inflate their own self-righteous egos.

ground this fall and open in fall 2010. Overall, the Colorado Department of Education awarded $16 million Thursday through its Public School Capital Construction Assistance Board. The board’s Building Excellent Schools Today program awarded grants ranging from $149,000 for the Cheyenne Mountain Charter Academy in Colorado Springs to $5.9 million to the Alta Vista Charter School in Lamar. Former state Speaker of the House Andrew Romanoff, a Denver Democrat, wrote the BEST legislation in 2008. The program funds construction and renovation of new and existing schools and educational facilities. Ted Hughes, director of the BEST program for the state department of education, said funding comes from sources including state land trust revenues, mineral leases, timber and land sales, and the state lottery. Hughes said his goal is to allocate about $500 million in state funding throughout five years, leveraged with an additional $400 to $500 million from participating school districts. Financing for the projects could stretch throughout the next 15 to 30 years, Hughes said.

in the case — Detective Jen Kenney, with the Craig Police Department, and Joseph DeAngelo, an investigator with the District Attorney’s Office — have testified. During their time on the witness stand, the prosecution played three recorded confessions Terry made to law enforcement about killing Cynthia. In one confession, made roughly three months after Cynthia’s disappearance to Kenney and DeAngelo, Terry described how he killed his wife, then dismembered her body and buried it on his gold claim north of Craig. There was a struggle, Terry said, which ended when he choked her unconscious. “And I thought, ‘God, when she wakes up, she’s going to beat … me,’” Terry said on the recording. “So, I went and got a crow bar and hit her in the head with it. Killed her. “After I killed her, I thought, ‘Now what the hell am I going

to do? Nobody’s going to believe me. I’m just in trouble.’” He then told the two law enforcement officers that he spent the next 12 hours cutting up her body in the bathtub with a butcher knife. “No, I just butchered her like a deer,” Terry said on the recording. “And I guess the only reason I did it is because I didn’t think anybody would believe the self-defense deal.” The recording also included statements from Kenney and DeAngelo before Terry’s confession, which mostly focused on them consoling Terry and telling him they knew he killed Cynthia in self-defense. “I think you gave a lot to that relationship,” Kenney said. “I think you gave a lot financially, emotionally.” “We genuinely believe you’re a good man,” DeAngelo said. “You got caught up with a bad woman. … We know it was a self-defense issue, Terry. We know that.”

After the first week of Terry Hankins’ murder trial, the case seems to have boiled down to discerning what happened in the brief amount of time before Cynthia Hankins’ death. Terry Hankins is charged with first-degree murder, a Class 1 felony, and abuse of a corpse, a Class 2 misdemeanor, in connection with Cynthia’s death, which occurred June 3, 2007, when she was 34. In opening statements, public defender Scott Troxell said his client killed Cynthia and dismembered her body afterward. However, he killed her in selfdefense after Cynthia attacked him with a fan, Troxell said. Jeremy Snow, deputy district attorney for the 14th Judicial District, said Terry did not act in self-defense but instead killed her in a fit of rage after Cynthia refused to have sex with him.

Others, such as Bennett, say City Council is rushing the annexation, not requiring enough of the developer and “creating new problems” while not addressing those that already exist.

use, not so much a project,” Magill said. “It’s important to realize because people get the idea it’s going to grow instantly. … This is a chance to plan from a blank slate.” Magill disagreed that the Steamboat 700 issue would dominate the campaign. “I don’t think the majority of the electorate are interested in only one issue,” he said. As part of countywide budget cuts, the Routt County Board of Commissioners approved an all-mail ballot for this year’s election. Routt County Clerk and Recorder Kay Weinland has said such an election — as opposed to one that also offers early voting and voting on Election Day proper — is much easier for her office

to carry out and could save the county about $40,000 this year. Mail ballots have surged in popularity in recent years. Forty-six percent of county voters chose absentee and mail voting options in 2008. Requests for mail ballots increased by 4,754 in 2008 compared with the previous presidential election in 2004. The last day to register to vote in Routt County is Oct. 5. Voters who already are registered also should make sure the Routt County Clerk and Recorder’s Office has their correct mailing addresses on file so that they will receive a ballot. — To reach Brandon Gee, call 871-4210 or e-mail bgee@steamboatpilot.com

Winder speaks in support of Burton, horses Horses continued from 6 Some of the petitioners addressed the council, too, after they decided writing their name wasn’t enough. “It makes all the kids happy,” said Cammy Winder, a neighbor of Burton’s who started the petition that was submitted to the city. “He walks all his horses on leashes and lets them play with them, and he talks to them.” Removing the animals would take away what Winder and others said was something of a neighborhood institution, something that made their part of Craig special, even if it is old world. “That’s what Craig is,” Winder said. “We’re not big city stuff. We’re the dump and animals. If we can keep the simple things for as long as possible — I know it’s not going to last forever — that would be nice.” Although the council initially told Burton they had no choice

but to have him remove his animals, members decided to stay any fines until they could have more time to ponder the issue, with a decision possibly by their next meeting Aug. 26. Councilor Gene Bilodeau first compared the horse issue to the city’s recently resolved “Francisco fiasco” — referring to multiple court cases involving former council candidate Francisco Reina, who was cited for spending more of his own money on his campaign than allowed by the city charter. The city eventually dropped its citation and conceded that its charter violated a 1976 Supreme Court Decision. He then told other city officials that maybe, in this case, the rules don’t have to be the end of the discussion. “It just seems to me that sometimes in the country and the world, we get bogged down in what the rules are and forget to use common sense,” Bilodeau said.

Burton has no intention of being difficult if the council decides the horses aren’t appropriate for city life, however. A fight against the law is a losing battle. “No, I’ll just move them away,” he said. “That’s all you can do. No use in fighting them about it.” It will change things, though. He no longer will have the manure to fertilize his lawn and garden, which has a wide swath of vegetables from radishes to strawberries. Most of all, though, he won’t have his horses, Little Buck and Abu, to come along on another walk through the neighborhood. “It’s changing mighty fast, the world is,” Burton said. “The people that come here today, they know nothing but what they might read in a book. What did this country grow from? Sheep, cattle, ranches. I’ve never not had a horse. I don’t want to give them up.”

He’s hoping to ease some of those concerns in a Western swing blending town hall appearances and visits to national parks beginning Friday.

owners, civil libertarians, private property advocates — who seem to be turning away from the president across the country because of deep-seated concerns about expanding government and soaring budget deficits. They are people who bristle at big business bailouts and decry government’s reach into their own lives. They don’t see Obama’s stimulus plan jumpstarting the economy or boosting employment. They fret about the enormous price tags of his sweeping proposals to overhaul health care and revamp energy policy. “People are ready to see him move beyond the rhetoric. People want to see jobs come back. We want to see the economy recover. So we’re still, I think, waiting to see that,” says Chris Lawson, 30, who voted for Obama last fall and says he doesn’t regret it. The Littleton resident expressed worries about health care in particular, saying: “We are clearly moving toward more government in more people’s lives. ... That’s

For three decades, doctors in a small Colorado town have agreed to share the expense of treating the poor, lowering costs for everyone and recently gaining praise from Democrats as a model of what health care overhaul should look like. But as President Barack Obama prepares to visit Grand Junction for a town hall meeting today, opponents of the overhaul point to the town of 50,000, too, saying it proves doctors can improve patient care and reduce costs without

government meddling. Both sides in the bitter debate say the city’s unusual health system backs up their argument. Physicians in the mining town near the Colorado-Utah border agreed in 1974 to treat patients with any insurance, public or private. For patients with no insurance at all, Grand Junction doctors set up a free clinic. “Some doctors pick patients and say they only want patients with good insurance,” said Janet Grant, a certified nurse midwife whose practice delivers 450 babies a year. “Not here. Here, everyone agrees to

take a little less money from the HMO, but we know we get paid. It works out.” Today, Mesa County boasts the most cost-efficient Medicare delivery in the nation, according to a 2006 study by Dartmouth Medical School and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Among the highlights: Medicare spending in the county over a two-year period was less than $21,000 per person, compared with $60,000 in other areas of the country. The average number of hospital days for Medicare recipients during a six-month period was 6.5 days.

Advocates fight budget cuts Dozens ask Ritter to spare slashing mental health THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

Shouting “stop those cuts,” dozens of advocates for people with mental illnesses called on Gov. Bill Ritter on Friday to spare them from upcoming budget cuts. Lacey Berumen, executive director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness in Colorado, said the state’s doctors and hospitals are having a difficult time keeping up with patient demand. She said that when people who need treatment are turned away, they often end up in jail, charged with crimes. “We appreciate the difficult task facing the governor as he looks for ways to bring state spending into line with lower revenues. Study after study have confirmed that cutting treatment and medications for persons with mental illness will cost the state more money than will be saved,” Berumen said. Ritter’s spokesman, Evan Dreyer, said the governor “respects and appreciates their passion and advocacy,” but he made no promises. “Mental-health issues are important to the governor and

Frontier aims to emerge from bankruptcy DENVER

The wild animals on the tails of Frontier Airlines planes aren’t going away, and for now, neither are most of their employees. Republic won an auction to buy Frontier out of bankruptcy Thursday as the underdog with a $108.8 million bid that had been sweetened to offer creditors other than Republic about 18 cents on the dollar. And Republic Chairman, President and CEO Bryan Bedford said Friday that Frontier’s managers, including CEO Sean Menke, will run Frontier and Milwaukeebased Midwest Airlines, which Republic recently purchased. Both will be run as standalone carriers. Frontier CEO Sean Menke said Friday that Southwest Airlines Co. withdrew its bid of more than $170 million after it became clear that pilot unions for both airlines wouldn’t be able to agree about how their ranks would be integrated. That could have affected Southwest’s ability to close any deal. “We saw that as a very big risk,” Menke said. Southwest had enough cash

on hand to write a check for Frontier. “We had no doubt that they could put more value on buying the business than we could, and therefore spend more on it than we could,” Republic’s Bedford said. “We sort of thought that if they really wanted it, they were going to get it.” Bedford said the negotiations in New York reached a stalemate Thursday. “Somebody had to move,” he said, so he decided to sweeten the offer. Republic would waive its $150 million bankruptcy

claim, for which it would have received about 12 cents on the dollar under Southwest’s bid. That left more money for everyone else Frontier owed. “That was going to force them to either react or withdraw,” Bedford said. Frontier, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on April 10, 2008, could emerge as early as Sept. 17, Menke said. Bedford said Republic expects to cut $50 million a year in overlapping costs between the two new acquisitions and Republic.

Consumer inflation tumbles

Martin Crutsinger

Consumer prices have fallen more in the past year than in any 12-month period in nearly six decades — a huge break for shoppers but also a reminder that prices are being restrained by weak spending that’s likely to slow an economic recovery. The recession and lower energy costs kept a lid on prices for July, causing consumer inflation to fall to zero. Most economists think prices now are in a sweet spot: ultra-low inflation

without a serious risk of deflation — a destabilizing spiral of falling prices and wages. “Right now, there is no inflation out there,” said David Wyss, chief economist at Standard & Poor’s in New York. “The big issue is still a lack of economic growth.” Wall Street remained nervous Friday that recession-battered consumers could short-circuit any economic rebound after the Reuters/University of Michigan index of consumer sentiment posted a significant drop for the first part of August. It was a much weaker showing than expected. The Dow Jones industrial average lost about 76 points, and broader stock indexes fell, too. In Friday’s report on consumer inflation, the Labor Department reported prices were flat in July and have fallen 2.1 percent during the past 12 months — the steepest drop since a similar decline for the period ending in January 1950. Core inflation, which ex-

Consumer inflation a no-show in July What happened?: Consumer prices were unchanged in July, and during the past 12 months they have fallen by 2.1 percent — the sharpest annual decline since a similar drop in the period ending in January 1950. What does it mean?: The recession and decreasing energy prices made inflation nonexistent — welcome news for consumers struggling with high unemployment, diminished savings and decreasing home values. Still, prices are being restrained by weak spending that’s likely to slow an economic recovery. What’s next?: Most economists say inflation will remain in check, allowing the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates low to prop up the weak economy. But because inflation essentially won’t exist, economists expect the country’s 50 million Social Security recipients to get no annual cost-of-living boost in their benefit checks in January. — The Associated Press

cludes volatile energy and food prices, showed a small 0.1 percent rise in July and over the past 12 months has risen 1.5 percent — right in the Federal Reserve’s comfort zone.

FDIC chief says parts of regulatory plan won’t fly Daniel Wagner

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

The director of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. is arguing against key pillars of the Obama administration’s plan to overhaul the financial system, saying they would not survive in Congress and that she has better ideas. FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair said Congress would not go along with expanding the Federal Reserve’s authority to regulate large financial companies or with giving a new consumer protection agency enforcement powers over banks. Power to enforce rules for banks now belongs to Bair’s agency and other bank regulators. “There’s a lot of resistance from a lot of different quarters to a lot of the things the administration has submitted,” Bair said Thursday. “That is a reality

the administration needs to deal with.” Bank industry groups say the Obama plan, introduced in June, would burden companies and ultimately increase costs for borrowers. Congress has objected to giving the Fed more power, and critics say it failed to properly use the authority it had before the financial crisis erupted. Other regulators, including Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, have objected to parts of the plan. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner angrily demanded regulators get in line, even though the Treasury has no power over agencies such as the Fed and FDIC. Treasury has suggested some regulators are simply guarding their territory. In a separate interview, Deputy Treasury Secretary Neal Wolin said it’s not surprising “that in understandable Washington style, (regulators) defend their own institutions.”

Captive Egyptians beat pirates THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Using machetes and guns, the men fought a desperate battle to take control of two boats off the Somali coast. But this time, it wasn’t pirates who launched the attack — it was Egyptian fishermen who had been held hostage for four

he escaped during the fight Thursday, described the struggle in a telephone interview. “They attacked us with machetes and other tools, seized some of our guns and then fought us,” said the pirate who identified himself only by his nom de guerre, Miraa. “I could see two dead bodies of my colleagues lying on the ship. I do not know the fate of the nine others.” The fishermen on both vessels coordinated their attack and some of the pirates even cooperated with them, making it easier for the other gunmen to be overpowered, said Mohamed Alnahdi, the executive manager of Mashrq Marine Product, which had hired the fishing boats. “The crew on both boats started their operations at one time. They were coordinating among themselves,” he said by telephone from Bossaso, a Somali town where he spent more than a month trying to negotiate the fishermen’s’ release. Alnahdi, whose company is based in Yemen, said the ransom talks deadlocked Thursday, with him offering $200,000 but the pirates demanding $1.5 million.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Tom Thurston said traveling with his dogs down the wide and windswept Yukon River into 50 mph winds during March’s Iditarod dog sled race was an awful, bitter experience made magical by the machine-like performance of his team of dogs. Both musher and mushee will have a chance to tackle the daunting Alaskan course again. Thurston said he made up his mind in June, and early last week he made it official by signing on the dotted line. He’s going back to the Iditarod. “My family really wanted me to go,” Thurston said. “Another part of it, my main sponsor, General Physics, said they’d help me again, as well as a few other local sponsors I’ve talked to. If I’m able to raise the money and my family wants me to go, I probably should.” Thurston said the decision didn’t come easy, even after the ecstasy he felt after finishing the race for the first time in March. He was on the fence in the months afterward. “I had just come off a winter where I worked with the dogs since August. I was pretty beat up and tired, and it’s tough to make good decisions under those conditions,” Thurston said. “I needed a couple of months to get back in the groove.” He’s there now, though. He started training dogs again Aug. 1 and said he’s intent on improving on his 2009 finish. He finished the 1,130-mile trek in 14 days, 3 hours, 36 minutes and 22 seconds, good for 44th out of the 52 teams that finished the race. He signed up for the 2010 event, which begins March 6, while traveling through Alaska trying to pick up some tips about how to improve his performance. He visited with eight top mushers, including Lance Mackey, who won the event for the third time this year.

The Steamboat Springs Bonesaws will look to continue the team’s strong play as it heads into a lacrosse tournament today in Aspen. The Bonesaws, fresh off winning the consolation bracket at the 2009 Quickstick Lax Tournament in Breckenridge two weeks ago, enter the tournament as one of the favorites. In addition to Steamboat, two teams from Aspen and teams from Boulder and Vail are expected to play. Steamboat opens play at 11 a.m. today against Aspen. The team then plays Boulder. How teams fare today determines seeding for play Sunday. “I think we have the potential to win it,” Steamboat captain Todd Wichelhaus said. Helping Steamboat’s cause will be the competition it has seen this year. In addition to the Breckenridge tournament, where Steamboat went an impressive 4-1 against toplevel club teams from across the Front Range, the Bonesaws enter the tournament having played multiple other games against Vail. Wichelhaus said that experience coupled with the team they have has the Bonesaws optimistic heading into today. “Basically it’s playing smart with the players we have,” he said. “We have enough guys that have played together long enough that if we play to our strengths, we should be fine.” Although the defense has been Steamboat’s strong point this year, especially the play in net by Joseph Lauber and Jake Flax, Wichelhaus said the key for Steamboat will be turning its offensive opportunities into goals. The team will be without one of its top offensive threats in Sam Lane, who is attending to family business. Still, Wichelhaus said the team will feature Conor Barrett and former high school standouts Andy Flax and Kevin Bertrand as offensive threats.

I checked out all the results from last year and realized it was realistic.” His 94 points put him well ahead of second-place Darrell Bruder, with 73, and thirdplace Allen Belshaw, with 71. The only reasonable way Niedl will get caught is if he misses a race. He has no intention of doing that. Instead, he plans to add another top finish at this weekend’s event, which starts at 8 a.m. at the Fish Creek Falls parking area at the top of Fish See Running, page 25

Johnson’s gem helps Marlins Steven Wine

MLB

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI

The third and final standing ovation for Josh Johnson was the loudest. After allowing only one hit in 7 1-3 innings, Johnson left the game to a big roar from the small crowd. He helped the Florida Marlins tighten the National League wild-card race Friday night by beating the Colorado Rockies, 6-5. Johnson (12-2) didn’t give up

a hit until Garrett Atkins homered with two outs in the seventh. That was the only run FRIDAY’S GAME: off the Marlins’ Marlins 6 r i g h t - h a n d e r, Rockies 5 who allowed three walks and finished with a career-high 11 strikeouts. “The fastball was kind of exploding,” Johnson said. “When you have those days, you

just want to keep throwing and keep throwing.” The Marlins won for the seventh time in eight games and climbed within two games of the Rockies, who lead the wildcard race. “It’s good to set the tone for the series,” Johnson said. “That’s what we needed.” Chris Iannetta hit a three-run homer in the ninth before Leo Nunez completed a four-hitter by retiring pinch-hitter Todd Helton for his 13th save in 17 chances.

Organizer: Quality of runners pretty good

Thurston hopes for top 30 Thurston continued from 23 “I saw a lot of mushers on my race, but I didn’t see any of the front-runners, so I didn’t get to pick up on what they were doing. So I decided to go meet them during the summer when they weren’t so busy,” Thurston said. “I talked to them about feeding and training and the trail itself.” He also bought three new

Iditarod-experienced dogs and plans to return to Alaska to train with his team before the race. All that, combined with the now-veteran team that pulled Thurston across Alaska this year, should make for an entirely different race, he said. “I’m hoping to get into the top 30,” he said.

As daunting as all that sounds, it hasn’t done much to stymie a flood of entries. The race had exceeded last year’s numbers by Thursday afternoon, continuing a trend of record attendance that the Running Series has enjoyed all summer long. “Some of the names I’ve seen register are pretty great,” series director Cara Marrs said. “We will have a couple elite runners, some adventure athletes and pro mountain bikers coming from out of town to do this race. “There will be some real stiff competition.” — To reach Joel Reichenberger, call 871-4253 or e-mail jreichenberger@steamboatpilot.com

Creek Falls Road. “These are my favorite races,” he said about the often steep, always challenging course. “I’m definitely excited. At the beginning of the summer I said if I could win one race, it’d be this one, so I really want to finish high.” Despite a summer of success to back him up, that part might be easier said than done. First, the race promises to be one of the most challenging of the entire series. “It’s tough for sure,” said event organizer Greg Danziger, whose store, Ski Haus, has been the lead sponsor of the event

since it started 11 years ago. “This is not a race where you can just take it on to decide whether or not you like trail runs. Over the 11 years we’ve thinned the herd, and the quality of runner we have showing up at this point is pretty good.” The trail cuts up from the top of Fish Creek Falls road past the first and second falls and eventually to Long Lake. That entire section is challenging, uphill trail running. From there it cuts back and comes up and over the top of the Steamboat Ski Area, through Morningside Park and down to the finish line at the top of the gondola on Thunderhead Peak.

Hill completed two crisp passes to tight end Vernon Davis for 41 yards while leading the Niners on a 58-yard scoring drive to start the game, capped by Alex Romero’s 38yard field goal. It was Orton’s backup, Chris Simms, who nearly led Denver to victory with a big second half. After Miller’s second TD of the night on a 40-yard reception from Damon Huard put the 49ers up 17-10, Simms hit Kenny McKinley on a 52-yard TD pass with 2:01 left, but the Broncos failed on the 2-point

conversion. New Broncos coach Josh McDaniels is stressing accuracy this training camp, and Orton was way off all night against the Niners’ first- and second-team defenses. Even with ample time in the pocket, he misfired. Orton got the No. 1 job in June but has done little to impress after the Broncos traded away Pro Bowl passer Jay Cutler to the Chicago Bears in the NFL’s biggest swap of the spring. Orton was even booed by fans during a scrimmage at Invesco Field when he threw two interceptions and several other poor passes.

Love is where Vick will make his comeback attempt. “I think everybody deserves a second chance,” a somber Vick said Friday, a day after signing with the Philadelphia Eagles. “We all have issues, we all deal with certain things and we all have our own set of inequities. I think as long as you are willing to come back and do it the right way and do the right things and that you’re committed, then I think you deserve it.

But you only get one shot at a second chance, and I am conscious of that.” A three-time Pro Bowl pick during six seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, Vick served 18 months in federal prison for running a dogfighting ring and was reinstated just last month by the NFL after being out of action since 2006. The superstar said he wanted to play for a team with strong ownership, a solid coaching staff and an established starting quarterback. He signed a oneyear deal for $1.6 million.
