Organizers of the Steamboat Springs Free Summer Concert Series are looking for some fan love. The outdoor summer music event has brought national acts such as Susan Tedeschi, Béla Fleck, Michael Franti, Little Feat, The Wailers, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Los Lobos and Sam Bush to the base areas of Steamboat’s two ski mountains. After rounding out its 19th year with a high-powered Aug. 20 concert by The Avett Brothers at the base of Steamboat Ski Area, organizers are introducing a fundraising campaign to maintain a schedule of five quality acts each summer, series co-founders Joe Kboudi and John Waldman said this week. Kboudi is the series president, and Waldman is the series promoter. “What we’re trying to keep (is) the quality of the series — both talent and the overall event for locals and visitors — at the level that we’ve sort of gotten it to over the last 19 years,” Waldman said. “It’s been a constant build for us to maintain that. We’re finding that beyond the corporate sponsorship … we also need further help from our fans, I guess is the best way to put it — the people who are attending,” he said. Series board members started a fundraising effort this spring, See Concerts, page 14

Secret ingredient is buttermilk

Co-workers share memories at party

oday’s the day I reveal the secret ingredient. It’s the special elixir that sets apart the double chocolate cake I sometimes bake to celebrate the birthdays of my colleagues. It’s buttermilk. A judicious amount of buttermilk makes the Denver sheet cake from the Colorado Cache Cookbook one of the most moist desserts you’ll ever wrap your taste buds around. I even added six tablespoons of buttermilk to the frosting. On Friday, everyone at the newspaper celebrated the 32nd birthday of City Editor Mike Lawrence, which is today, and the 54th birthday of Production Clerk Fran Reinier, which was Friday, with cakes and candles. Reinier bravely pointed out to the assemblage that her 54th birthday is actually the beginning of her 55th year. Think about it. Volunteering to bring treats for other newspaper

Laura Case, of Steamboat, said she was formerly a Republican but became disenchanted with the party. Reagan said that without a unifying factor in the party, some Republicans have allowed them-

selves to get too hung up on individual interests and issues and that the party needs to coalesce around the conservatism of his father.

Some cast a skeptical look at organizers’ billing of the Steamboat Institute’s inaugural Freedom Conference as a nonpartisan event. To the skeptics’ credit, the Institute’s principles and the conference’s speakers are closely associated with the Republican Party. But, to the event’s credit, the first day of the two-day conference included a healthy dose of criticism for Republicans in addition to sessions such as one that described the Obama administration’s budget policies as “the road to serfdom.” In Friday’s keynote address, Michael Reagan, former conservative talk radio show host and son of the late President Ronald Reagan, said the Republican Party has lost sight of its core principles and has found itself at a “life or death crossroads.” “We didn’t pay attention to our core values. We have to stay true to ourselves,” Reagan said. “It’s our job to grow the conservative movement. ... We have to make

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Hispanics’ influence in politics will only continue to grow in coming years, and politicians ignore that voting bloc at their peril, two Spanish-language media executives said Friday. A presentation by Mario Carrera and Marcelo Gaete of Entravision Communications Corp. rubbed some conservatives the wrong way. The two spoke on the first day of the Steamboat Institute’s inaugural Freedom Conference, which promotes conservative political principles and continues today at the Steamboat Grand Resort Hotel. Carrera and Gaete presented data on America’s Hispanic population and its voting trends. Carrera said Hispanics are a critical mass of voters vital to political success that are mostly young and eager to participate civically. He also said the Hispanic population is underrepresented and underserved by both parties, suggesting there are opportunities to capitalize politically. “In several states, the Latino registration is larger than the margin of victory (in political races),” Gaete said. “To ignore this growing electorate

Carrera and Gaete presented data showing there are 414 counties in the U.S. where Hispanics make up 15 percent or more of the population. Hispanics make up 13 percent of the electorate in Colorado. “This population will triple by the year 2050,” said Carrera, who noted that at a median age of 27, Hispanics are the youngest ethnic group in the country.

DeVincentis said he did not want to run for the position again. Human Resources Director Anne Muhme, who is the elections supervisor for the district, said there were no outstanding petitions, and the three petitions filed were complete when they were submitted. Kennedy is a former superintendent and longtime educator from New York. Kelly, who with his wife owns BTK Surveys, has been active on the Education Fund Board and other education-related endeavors in Steamboat.

Two races emerged for Hayden School Board positions this week as petitions for all candidates came due. Incumbent Vance Fulton, of District B, will face challenger and parent Laurie Hallenbeck. Hallenbeck said she has not held an elected position before, but she wanted to become more involved in the district as her son gets older. In District A, school board member Patty Bruchez did not return a petition as of Friday afternoon, leaving newcomers Tim Frentress and Darren Zehner to face each other for the seat. Frentress is a former member of the Hayden Town Board — now the Hayden Town Council — and Zehner is a former transportation director for the Hayden School District. School Board President Brian Hoza, from District E, and board member Kurt Frentress,

from District C, will run unopposed. Candidates were required to gather 25 signatures to be eligible for the race. State law requires that any interested candidate must be a resident of the district he or she will vie to represent for 12 consecutive months before the election. A candidate must have a nomination petition signed by at least 25 registered voters living within the boundaries of the school district, and only one person is allowed to circulate a petition. South Routt School District will have no contests for the four seats up at this November’s election. Incumbents John McCollum, Gena Hange, Willie Smith and Joel Harris will run unopposed. In Steamboat Springs, Denise Connelly, the only running incumbent, will be unopposed in District 3. In District 1, Brian Kelly and Bill Kennedy both returned petitions with the req-

Hayden to consider water rate increase Base water rates

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Hayden residents could see higher water bills this fall, Town Manager Russ Martin said. Town staff members plan to present a base rate increase of about $3 a month to the Hayden Town Council at its Sept. 17 meeting. The possible hike results from a shortage in the town’s enterprise fund, which includes revenue from water and sewer systems, Martin said. Part of the problem is a decrease in tap fees, which builders pay to tap into the water system. New construction has

slowed, which means that money isn’t coming in. “We generally have identified an operating deficit annually, without tap fees, of about $90,000,” Martin said. Part of the cost is payment on the debt for the water system, which costs $115,000 per year. The town started paying on a 20-year loan eight years ago. The plant was finished in about 2003, Martin said.

“Without that debt payment, we’re generally operating in the black,” he said. “But with that debt payment, we’ve got to come up with that.” The enterprise fund was running a $450,000 deficit last year, Martin said. The town expects that to increase by $150,000 to $200,000 this year, putting the total deficit at about $600,000. Hayden can cover that through its reserves but needs to find another way to pay. “The general fund over the last couple years has been operating in the black like we want it to, but this isn’t and has caused us See Hayden, page 13

A barbecue dinner with live music and family-friendly activities to benefit a local mental health organization is from 3 to 7 p.m. today in Olympian Hall at Howelsen Hill Lodge.

Admission is free to the event, which benefits Reaching Everyone Preventing Suicide. A $10 dinner ticket includes half a chicken, beans, corn on the cob, choice of coleslaw or pasta salad, bread, dessert and a drink; all the food has been donated, said Ronna Autrey, suicide prevention coordinator at Steamboat Mental Health, who facilitates REPS. “I came from southcentral Pennsylvania where this was really big in the summers,” Autrey said. “We tried to make it an affordable event, and we felt like this was something families could come to and have a good time.” The event is also a chance to raise awareness and talk about suicide prevention, Autrey said. REPS is “a largely volunteer coalition of community members invested in stopping suicide in the Yampa Valley and support those who have lost a loved one through education and awareness,” according to the group’s Web site. REPS member and volunteer Traci Cameron said today’s barbecue will happen rain or shine, and will feature live music by Jesse Christensen, games, face painting, balloons and discounted tickets to The Howler Alpine Slide. Dinners will be served at the event and also are available in to-go containers for pickup. About 25 items will be up for silent auction. A “balloon prize

Proceeds from today’s barbecue benefit REPS programs, including support groups, a loss assistance team and occasional free Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training sessions. Bryce Mackie, a college student and documentary filmmaker who has experience with depression and suicide, will speak with local high school and college students this fall, Autrey said. “He goes around the country speaking to college and high school kids about depression, getting help, getting treatment, that this is a disease and nothing to be ashamed of,” Autrey said.

Oak Creek board deems dog law unenforceable Zach Fridell

OAK CREEK

The Oak Creek Town Board decided Thursday night that enforcement of an ordinance to keep dogs out of the park during Labor Day festivities was not possible, leading to the emergency ordinance failing on a tie vote. Oak Creek Labor Day Committee members had requested the town keep all dogs, on- or off-leash, out of Decker Park during the kids’ fun day Sept. 5. Committee members are still requesting that dogs not come into the park during that time, but they will have no legal recourse. Mayor J. Elliott said Town Board members did not think the one-day enforcement of an ordinance was reasonable. “They thought it would be too difficult for code enforcement and (police consultant Eileen Rossi) to stop something for a day that’s been going on for a long time,” he said. Also during Thursday’s meeting, the Town Board heard about a possible annexation of 1.97 acres

at the top of Grandview Avenue by a Pennsylvania company. Allegheny Gypsum Ltd. presented plans to create two triplex townhomes on an undeveloped plot of land. Sean Colgan, president of the company, wrote in a letter to Oak Creek Town Clerk Karen Halterman that the units will not be built immediately, but they are seeking annexation for a later date. “Allegheny Gypsum cannot commence construction until the market improves. However, we will need all the approvals in place so that we can begin construction immediately when the market recovers,” he wrote on July 27. Colgan described the units as “more attainable” housing alternatives. Town trustees voted to table the motion until two conflicting surveys of the site can be reconciled.

COMMENTARY

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

Until death does its part Paul Krugman

THE NEW YORK TIMES

So new budget projections show a cumulative deficit of $9 trillion within the next decade. According to many commentators, that’s a terrifying number, requiring drastic action — in particular, of course, canceling efforts to boost the economy and calling off health care reform. The truth is more complicated and less frightening. Right now deficits are actually helping the econKrugman omy. In fact, deficits here and in other major economies saved the world from a much deeper slump. The longer-term outlook is worrying, but it’s not catastrophic. The only real reason for concern is political. The United States can deal with its debts if politicians of both parties are, in the end, willing to show at

least a bit of maturity. Need I say more? Let’s start with the effects of this year’s deficit. There are two main reasons for the surge in red ink. First, the recession has led to a sharp drop in tax receipts and to increased spending on unemployment insurance and other safety-net programs. Second, there have been large outlays on financial rescues. These are counted as part of the deficit, although the government is acquiring assets in the process and will eventually get at least part of its money back. What this tells us is that right now it’s good to run a deficit. Consider what would have happened if the U.S. government and its counterparts around the world had tried to balance their budgets as they did in the early 1930s. It’s a scary thought. If governments had raised taxes or slashed spending in the face of the slump, if they had refused to rescue distressed financial institutions,

we could all too easily have seen a full replay of the Great Depression. As I said, deficits saved the world. But what about all that debt we’re incurring? That’s a bad thing, but it’s important to have some perspective. Economists typically assess the sustainability of debt by looking at the ratio of debt to gross domestic product. And while $9 trillion is a huge sum, we also have a huge economy, which means that things aren’t as scary as you might think. Here’s one way to look at it: We’re looking at a rise in the debt/GDP ratio of about 40 percentage points. The real interest on that additional debt (you want to subtract off inflation) will probably be about 1 percent of GDP, or 5 percent of federal revenue. That doesn’t sound like an overwhelming burden. Now, this assumes that the U.S. See Krugman, page 9

The great gradual list David Brooks

THE NEW YORK TIMES

In the days since Ted Kennedy’s death, the news programs have shown and re-shown the unforgettable ending of his 1980 Democratic convention speech — the passage from Tennyson and the beautiful final lines: “The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die.” But if you go back earlier into the heart of that speech, you see how bold Brooks Kennedy’s agenda really was. His central argument was for a policy of full employment. Government should provide a job for every ablebodied American. His next big goal was what he called “reindustrialization.” The computer revolution was just getting under way, but Kennedy called on gov-

MALLARD FILLMORE

ernment to restore the industrial might of America’s cities. The third big goal was national health insurance. “Let us insist on real control over what doctors and hospitals can charge,” Kennedy cried. There were other proposals. He vowed to use “the full power of government to master increasing prices.” Kennedy was proposing to fundamentally transform America’s political economy. He knew he had lost the nomination by this time, and his liberalism was unbound. The speech was radical, and he could have gone back to the Senate, content to luxuriate in his own boldness. He could have excoriated his opponents for their villainy and given speeches about dreams that would never come true. But Kennedy became something else. He became a compromiser. He became an incrementalist. Those words have negative conno-

tations. But they shouldn’t. Kennedy never abandoned his ambitious ideals, but his ability to forge compromises and champion gradual, incremental change created the legacy everybody is celebrating today: community health centers, the National Cancer Institute, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Meals on Wheels program, the renewal of the Voting Rights Act and the No Child Left Behind Act. The latter law, by the way, has narrowed the blackwhite achievement gap more than any other recent piece of legislation. Kennedy’s life yields several important lessons. One is about the nature of political leadership. We have been taught since, well, since the days of Camelot to admire a particular sort of politician: the epic, charismatic Mount Rushmore candidate who sits atop his charger leading transformaSee Brooks, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

Krugman continued from 8 government’s credit will remain good so that it’s able to borrow at relatively low interest rates. So far, that’s still true. Despite the prospect of big deficits, the government is able to borrow money long-term at an interest rate of less than 3.5 percent, which is low by historical standards. People making bets with real money don’t seem to be worried about U.S. solvency. The numbers tell you why. According to the White House projections, by 2019, net federal debt will be around 70 percent of GDP. That’s not good, but

it’s within a range that has historically proved manageable for advanced countries, even those with relatively weak governments. In the early 1990s, Belgium — which is deeply divided along linguistic lines — had a net debt of 118 percent of GDP, while Italy - which is, well, Italy — had a net debt of 114 percent of GDP. Neither faced a financial crisis. So is there anything to worry about? Yes, but the dangers are political, not economic. As I’ve said, those 10-year projections aren’t as bad as you may have heard. Over the really long term, however, the

U.S. government will have big problems unless it makes some major changes. It has to rein in the growth of Medicare and Medicaid spending. That shouldn’t be hard in the context of overall health care reform. After all, America spends far more on health care than other advanced countries, without better results, so we should be able to make our system more cost-efficient. So don’t fret about this year’s deficit. If we face a potential problem, it’s not because the economy can’t handle the extra debt. Instead, it’s the politics, stupid.

Kennedy’s life yields important lessons Brooks continued from 8 tional change. But the founders of this country designed the Constitution to frustrate that kind of leader. The Constitution diffuses power, requires compromise and encourages incrementalism. The founders created a government that was cautious so that society might be dynamic. Ted Kennedy was raised to prize one set of leadership skills and matured to find that he possessed another. He possessed the skills of the legislator, and if you ask 99 senators who was the best craftsman among them, they all will say Kennedy. He knew how to cut deals. He understood coalitions, and other people’s motives and needs. I once ran into John McCain after a negotiating session with

Kennedy about an immigration bill they had co-sponsored. McCain was exhausted by the arduous and patient way his friend negotiated. In my last interview with Kennedy, I asked about big ideas, and his answers were nothing special. Then I asked about a minor provision in an ancient piece of legislation, and his command of the provision and how it got there was jaw-droppingly impressive. There is a craft to governance, which depends less on academic intelligence than on a contextual awareness of how to bring people together. Kennedy possessed that awareness. A second lesson involves the nature of change in America. We in this country have a distinct sort of society. We Americans work longer hours than any other people on earth. We switch jobs much more frequently than Western

Europeans or the Japanese. We have high marriage rates and high divorce rates. We move more, volunteer more and murder one another more. Out of this dynamic but sometimes merciless culture, a distinct style of American capitalism has emerged. The American economy is flexible and productive. America’s GDP per capita is nearly 50 percent higher than France’s. But the American system is also unforgiving. It produces its share of insecurity and misery. This culture, this spirit, this system is not perfect, but it is our own. In 1980, Kennedy proposed an agenda that jarred with the traditions of American governance. In the decades since, a constrained Kennedy and a string of Republican co-sponsors produced reforms in keeping with it. The benefits are there for all to see.

Open School Board seats still are uncontested CRAIG

A November election for three open seats on the Moffat County School Board is one step closer to being canceled after Thursday’s board meeting. Only three candidates came forward to put their names on the ballot, two of which are running for re-election. On Thursday, the School Board approved, 7-0, an intergovernmental election agreement, which included informa-

tion about costs of voter polls and newspaper ads. The next minute, however, the board passed a resolution, also 7-0, to cancel the election in the event that no other candidates appear before Tuesday’s write-in deadline. District administrative assistant Vicki Duncan said she didn’t anticipate any other candidates running in the election. “That’s never really happened,” she said. “So this just gives me the power to cancel the election myself so we don’t have to wait until the next board meeting to do it.”

Districts 2, 4 and 6 are open for election. Board chairman Rod Durham, of District 6, is term limited. Sandie Johns, of District 4, and Karen Stillion, of District 2, have served for four years and are seeking re-election. A third candidate, Christine Balderston, has turned in a petition for the District 6 seat. And if no one steps forward in the next few days as a writein candidate, the next School Board will be set Tuesday. See Moffat, page 13

Throughout this spring and summer, I have received several reports of different wildlife species experiencing hair loss in Steamboat Springs. Two in particular grabbed my attention: the increasing number of hairless fox sightings in town and deer that also appeared to be losing clumps of hair on the outskirts of the city. These reports prompted me to put together some information for the readers of this column about what could be causing the hair loss witnessed in our local foxes and deer.

The hairless foxes are not newcomers to the Steamboat Springs area. In fact, in 2004 and 2005, there appeared to be an increase in the number of hairless fox sightings. One of these hairless foxes was killed in 2005 and necropsied by the Colorado Division of Wildlife’s health lab in Fort Collins. That particular fox was found to have resolving mange but was otherwise in good body condition. The term “mange” is given to a group of skin diseases in mammals that are caused by microscopic mites. The most serious of these diseases are from burrowing mites that cause sarcoptic mange. As mites burrow under the skin and lay their eggs, they can cause a variety of skin conditions that include itchiness, hair loss, crusty scabs and thick and wrinkly skin. Symptoms of mange include blindness, impaired hearing and difficulty eating because of the skin changes. Mange is transferred from one animal to another through direct contact or from bedding and den sites. Species of mites that cause sarcoptic mange do not appear to be host-specific and can infect a variety of wild-

life and domestic animal species. Some of the more common wildlife species documented with sarcoptic mange include the red fox, coyote, gray wolf, porcupine, black bear, cottontail rabbit and raccoon. The drug Ivermectin has been found to be effective at treating mange in domestic pets, but it is extremely difficult to apply and use on wild animals. Good news is that the hairless foxes we are seeing today in Steamboat Springs do not exhibit the main symptoms of mange. Based on the behavior of the foxes, they do not appear to be itchy or to be having problems eating, seeing or hearing. These symptoms seem isolated to red foxes. Other possible causes for hair loss in foxes include fungal diseases, thyroid problems or a genetic disease referred to as “Sampson hair loss.”

Hair loss in deer Unlike foxes, deer and other ungulates including elk, moose and pronghorn rarely develop mange. Hair loss in these species is usually attributed to an infestation of lice or ticks. Lice, or small wingless insects, can come in two varieties: biting or sucking. The endemic North American biting varieties can cause small scale (not extensive) hair loss that does not cause major health problems. Recently, two exotic lice species, Damalinia and Bovicola tibialis, have started showing up in several western states including Oregon, Washington, Wyoming and South Dakota. These exotic lice species cause a condition called “hair loss syndrome” that causes not only extensive hair loss, but also bloody and severe

skin irritations. So far, HLS seems to affect black-tailed deer and mule deer and has not been documented in Colorado. In the winter, the likely culprit for hair loss in deer, elk and moose are ticks. Hair loss from ticks is typically limited to the head and neck regions where the animals are unable to groom and remove the ticks themselves. Throughout the winter the ticks become engorged from feeding and fall off in early spring. It is also important to note that seasonal hair loss or molting is normal in all ungulate species. Ungulates will go through two molting cycles, shedding their winter coat in the spring and their summer coat before fall. While molting, hair loss is patchy, not uniform, and the coat beneath the hair appears healthy. While some mystery remains to exactly what is causing hair loss in our local foxes, the hairloss quandary for deer seems to be solved. The hair loss seen in some of the resident deer appears to be from normal/native lice and/or a combination of annual molting. The Colorado Division of Wildlife urges people that witness wild animals appearing to be sick or injured to call one of our offices immediately. The number for the Steamboat Springs Office is 970-871-2855. Taking photographs also helps wildlife managers, biologists and vets determine and document what types of diseases are occurring around the state and how to best treat those populations if needed. Remember, diseases are a part of life and are one way that wildlife populations are naturally controlled. Not all of them can or should be eliminated.

If election in canceled, Balderston would attend workshops Moffat continued from 11 “It’s not necessarily a good thing,” Johns said about the resolution to cancel the election. “It would be nice to have more interest and to have people step forth who would like to volunteer time to help the district.” However, she said she is

excited to continue to support the district, even though another four years might seem like a big commitment. “Four years is a long time,” she said. “But it really takes four years to understand things like the budget. Only now have I really gotten a grasp on the complicated things.”

Should she earn a seat, Balderston won’t go into her first board meeting cold. If the election is canceled, she will be invited to events such as the Colorado State Board of Education meeting in Steamboat Springs next month and attend workshops designed for new board members.

Also, Superintendent Joe Petrone will sit down with Balderston to go over meeting procedures. “We have an excellent board right now,” Johns said. “This is the board that hired the new superintendent, and we’re all excited to keep working with him.”

Senior citizens probably will see a smaller increase, Martin said. Usage rates, or the cost residents pay based on how much water they consume, wouldn’t change. If tap fees don’t pick up, town staff members might have to add another $3 to that increase next

year, for a total of $6, Martin said. The town also will tackle water costs by repairing broken meters and possibly increasing water tap fees 25 percent, he said. Town Council Member Chuck Grobe said he was interested in evaluating the proposed increase after reviewing the numbers. “I know we’ve been basing a lot of enterprise fund on tap fees and growth, and growth kind of stymied, so I need to see what those figures are,” Grobe

The Freedom Conference is intended to promote the Steamboat Institute’s “five principles”: limited government, lower taxes, free markets, strong national defense and individual rights and responsibilities. Today’s speakers include Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., and Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform.

The most contentious assertion of the presentation, among those in the audience who fear a bilingual nation, was Carrera and Gaete’s assertion that politicians need to communicate with Hispanics in Spanish to be successful. The discussion drew some critical comments and audible grumblings from some members of the audience. Carrera said commercials in Spanish are 61 percent more effective at increasing awareness levels in Hispanics than commercials in English, and 52 percent of Hispanics say ads or programs on Spanish-language television encourage them to get involved politically and vote. “It is our assertion … that you do it in the language they most prefer,” said Carrera, who said that while Hispanics embrace and learn English, they don’t abandon Spanish. “Spanish is here to stay.

Tunnel deaths lead to charges Xcel Energy, RPI Coating and 2 RPI executives indicted THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

Two companies and two executives accused in the deaths of five workers in a 2007 fire inside a tunnel at a Colorado hydroelectric plant have been indicted on federal charges. Xcel Energy, RPI Coating and two RPI executives face criminal charges in the deaths in a federal indictment that alleges they knew about the danger and did nothing about it. The 17-page indictment, made public Friday, accuses RPI of trying to cover up shortfalls by altering, destroying or concealing the cameras, journals and cell phones of two of the dead workers. Four people survived the fire

at the Xcel Cabin Creek hydroelectric plant in Georgetown about 35 miles west of Denver. All five of the workers killed worked for Santa Fe Springs, Calif.-based RPI. In a statement, Xcel officials said it was a tragic accident. “We reject any attempt to characterize the Cabin Creek events in any other way,” Xcel said. Calls to RPI were referred to Denver attorney Larry Pozner, who echoed Xcel’s statement and said the five men weren’t simply employees, but “friends” who were highly trained industrial painters. On Oct. 2, workers bringing a solvent into the tunnel to clean a sprayer noticed the solvent had vaporized into the air, “causing employees to suffer irritation and complain to their

��

managers.” Later, vapor from the solvent ignited. Workers deep inside the tunnel survived the initial fire and were in radio contact with rescuers as crews tried lowering air tanks to them. The workers were overcome by smoke and fumes and died from asphyxiation. Killed were Donald Dejaynes, 43, Dupree Holt, 37, James St. Peters, 52, Gary Foster, 48, and Anthony Aguirre, 18, all of California. Previous events, including multiple evacuations because of high levels of carbon monoxide and damage to electrical equipment, made the companies and RPI executives aware that employees faced serious health and safety hazards working in the tunnel, according to the indictment.

A federal warning to beware of campers in national forests who eat tortillas, drink Tecate beer and play Spanish music because they could be armed marijuana growers is racial profiling, an advocate for Hispanic rights said Friday.

Forum. The U.S. Forest Service quickly retracted the warning. “It is inexcusable and we regret that this insensitivity distracted attention from the real problem of illegal marijuana cultivation on federal land and the threats to human safety and environmental degradation it poses,” said Hank Kashdan, associate chief of the U.S. Forest Service.

The warnings were issued Wednesday by the U.S. Forest Service, which is investigating how much marijuana is being illegally cultivated in Colorado’s national forests after the recent discovery of more than 14,000 plants in Pike National Forest. “That’s discriminatory, and it puts Hispanic campers in danger,” said Polly Baca, co-chairwoman of the Colorado Latino

In death as in life, Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy on Friday brought together political rivals — this time to celebrate his life and half-century of service to his country. A who’s who of politics gathered at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston for the private service featuring music, laughter and plenty of anecdotes about Edward Kennedy’s ferocious

AROUND THE NATION sense of humor and kindnesses shown to strangers who soon became friends. The event, billed as “a celebration of life,” contrasted with the solemnity of the motorcade that carried Kennedy’s body from Cape Cod to Boston a day earlier and the sobriety of the public viewing, where an estimated 50,000 people filed past the senator’s flag-draped coffin at the presidential library named for one of his slain brothers. The event honors Kennedy’s love of family and friends and his commitment to public service. Scheduled speakers included Vice President Joe Biden; Sens. John McCain, Orrin Hatch, John Kerry and Christopher Dodd; and niece Caroline Kennedy, daughter of President John F. Kennedy. A five-person military honor guard stood at attention around the casket in a high-ceilinged room with a spectacular view of Boston Harbor. Large photos greeted mourners on their way into the room, including one of Kennedy as a boy with his father, Joseph P. Kennedy, and a 1960s-era shot of Kennedy with his slain brothers, John and Robert. A funeral Mass is scheduled for The Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, better known as the Mission Church, in Boston today. Cellist YoYo Ma and tenor Placido Domingo will perform, and President Barack Obama is delivering the eulogy.

Flat incomes raise doubts about economic recovery WASHINGTON

Household income in the United States is essentially stagnant, increasing doubts about whether consumers already hurt by job losses can sustain an economic recovery. The now-ended Cash for Clunkers program helped lift consumer spending last month and is expected to deliver a bigger boost in August. But any economic rebound likely would falter if shoppers lack the income to spend more in the long run. Especially in the U.S., consumer spending is essential: It drives about 70 percent of economic activity — more than for most European nations and well above the rates in developing countries such as China. U.S. retailers already are paying the price for flat income growth and weak consumer spending. A survey of big retail chains showed that shoppers remained tightfisted in July. That increased fears not just

about back-to-school sales but also about the make-or-break holiday shopping season. “Consumers just don’t have the financial firepower to go out and spend more,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Economy.com. “Unless businesses curtail their job cuts, the recovery could very well peter out.” Americans’ purchasing power has been battered by the 6.7 million jobs that have vanished since the recession began in December 2007. Companies also have cut costs by forcing workers to take unpaid days off or to work only part time. And some consumers have pared their spending because their pay hasn’t kept pace with their expenses or because they’re using more money to save or reduce debt. Personal incomes were unchanged in July, the Commerce Department reported Friday. It was the eighth month out of the past 10 in which incomes have fallen or failed to grow. Consumer spending edged up 0.2 percent in July, matching economists’ expectations. But the flat reading on incomes was weaker than the small rise economists had expected.

Coroner: Jackson’s death was caused by sleep aids LOS ANGELES

Michael Jackson’s death was a homicide caused primarily by the powerful anesthetic propofol and another sedative, the coroner announced Friday in a highly anticipated ruling increasing the likelihood of criminal charges against the pop star’s doctor. The Los Angeles County coroner’s office determined the cause of death was “acute propofol intoxication.” Lorazepam, another sedative sold under the brand name Ativan, contributed to the death. Additional drugs detected in Jackson’s system were the sedatives midazolam and diazepam, the painkiller lidocaine and the stimulant ephedrine. The coroner did not release Jackson’s full autopsy report, citing a security hold requested by Los Angeles authorities investigating the case, and declined to comment beyond a short statement announcing the manner and cause of death. The 50-year-old Jackson died June 25 at his rented Los Angeles mansion. Dr. Conrad Murray, the Las Vegas cardiologist who was Jackson’s personal physician, has not been charged with any crime, but is the target of what police term a manslaughter investigation.

It doesn’t really matter to Hinder who people listen to, because he and the rest of the Steamboat Springs High School football team open the 2009 campaign at 2 p.m. today at Gardner Field against Holy Family. Hinder said the past year and a half has been full of elite camps, college recruiters and fans questioning his ability. Finally, though, Hinder gets to be where he’s the most comfortable: on the field. “Once the game starts, you get to block all of that out,” Hinder said. “You don’t think about any of that stuff. You go out and play and do what you do.” The game offers one of the more intriguing matchups of Zero Week. Holy Family — who went 6-5 last season in Class 2A and lost in the first round of the playoffs — is known as a traditional powerhouse. The team has won multiple state championships in the past 10 years, including one in 2005. The team doesn’t return much as far as specialists go, but both sides of the line return intact. “I think our kids have taken it on themselves (in) looking at it as a regular season game,” Holy Family coach Mike Gabriel said. “They want to win and make a

This year, I’ve been training for it a lot more, and hopefully I’ll finish even higher.” The triathlon was the subject of some drama through the past seven months as the race director from the previous five versions, Barry Sisk, who managed the Front Range sports event company 5430 Sports, backed out in February.

A signature of the Steamboat Springs High School tennis team this season appears to be its depth. Judging by Friday’s seasonopening 6-1 win against Evergreen, the hardest part for coach John VIDEO Aragon might ONLINE be deciding www.steamboatpilot.com which players he wants in each position. Despite having several freshmen and first-time varsity players dotting the roster, Steamboat cruised through Friday’s match with little effort. “The opener, there is always nerves that go on,” Aragon said. “They’ve been battling and challenging each other the whole time, so it’s nice to play someone different.” Jamey Swiggart and Mirko Erspamer won at singles, and all four of Steamboat’s doubles teams won, highlighted by several first-time varsity players. Callum Richman and Luke Farny, playing at No. 3 doubles, and Gabri Erspamer, playing at No. 4 doubles, all got their first experiences on the varsity team. “I was a little bit nervous,” said Erspamer, who played with varsity letterman Kyle Rogers. “I think I handled my nerves fairly well. I talked to myself and knew it wasn’t too big of a deal. I thought it played out fairly well.” Richman and Farny played the best match of the day. Although the two had played together only twice previously, by the time the third set hit, they looked like seasoned veterans. The team won the first set, 62, before dropping the second set, 6-2.

This time it was a number of challenges for Barkley Robinson. Essam Welch led the way up Mount Werner during the final Town Challenge mountain bike event, the Valley View Cross Country race. A tightly packed group of Steamboat’s best riders turned almost together at the top of Thunderhead Peak, the race’s pinnacle. When the group emerged at the bottom of the course, however, screaming toward the finish line, Robinson was in the lead with Peter Kalmes hanging tight, just a few yards back. Robinson tore down the final stretch, hung a sharp left turn and crossed the finish line, winning the race and announcing that though the pack is closer and sometimes a few of the racers are even faster, Robinson is still the top dog. “It feels really good to win it again,” said Robinson, who wrapped up his sixth con-

After a spring and summer of uncertainty, the group managed to line up a powerful collection of local sponsors. The event doesn’t seem to have lost much of its luster with competitors, either. It again will feature a core of locals, but rely heavily on Front Range racers. Registration for the event topped out Thursday at 575, but on-the-fence athletes still can sign up. Late registration will be available for $125 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today at the packet pickup at Ski Haus. The race will be capped at 650. “Everyone’s blown away by that number,” Rasmussen said of

the 575. “We’re just really pleased that through this recession, which has really had an impact on people’s lives, they still really are doing what they need to do to maintain a healthy attitude and lifestyle.” Management may have changed, but if all goes well, competitors shouldn’t notice much. The course still is based under the towering line of mountains east of Steamboat, on the shores of Lake Catamount. It still hurls racers three-quarters of a mile through the lake, 20 miles on a bike to and from the base of Howelsen Hill in Steamboat Springs and four miles near the lake on Routt County Road 18. And to many, the whole thing still seems a daunting proposition. “I’d like to not drown,” Amy

Brown said with a laugh, outlining her goals while drying herself off after completing the entire swimming portion of the race. She trained for the event with friend Celeste Calkins. The pair has been working all summer toward the triathlon, and Thursday’s swim marked their fifth consecutive week of practices at the race venue. Both are accomplished local athletes, and Calkins is a regular marathoner. She just finished a marathon in Fort Collins and is preparing for the Chicago Marathon in October. “This has a lot more outfit changes,” Calkins said. “Really, we want to finish without feeling like it’s torture.”

Race director Gretchen Sehler had to be whisked away for stitches in her leg after she leaped to grab a child who had pedaled across the path of a charging race filled with older children.
