Breaking the law will cost more money in Steamboat Springs if City Council approves a surcharge on municipal violations. Council will consider the second and final reading of an ordinance instituting a $5 surcharge on parking violations and a $20 surcharge on all other violations at its meeting today.

offset the cost of law enforcement, but the city’s municipal court staff has raised concerns about the proposal. At the ordinance’s first reading, some council members were hesitant to approve the ordinance while residents already are struggling in the midst of a recession. The ordinance unanimously passed that reading, however, after council members scaled back the initial proposal for a $25 surcharge. Public Safety Director J.D.

the new charges with advertising and a grace period. Based on the number of tickets issued in 2008, Hays estimates the new surcharges would raise $42,540 a year. “A portion of it would go toward dog parks and a portion of it would go toward law enforcement, primarily for

training and equipment,” City Manager Jon Roberts said. Only surcharges on animal violations would go toward the development of city dog parks. See Council, page 15

A late-August hike to remember A journey in search of the mysterious origins of Mount Ethel

here’s a new mystery woman in my life. Her name is Ethel. We had a little rendezvous Sunday. Go ahead — you can tell my wife. I walked about 24 miles out of my way during the weekend to introduce the two of them. It wasn’t easy, but in the end, it was well worth it. If you haven’t met Mount Ethel, chances are you’ve admired her from a distance. She’s plainly visible gazing north from Storm Peak. However, you can get a better view of the 11,924-foot summit by driving to the top of Buffalo Pass and hiking about threequarters of a mile north on the Continental Divide Trail. What I want to know is, “How did Ethel get her name?” I’ve been wanting to take Judy up the Rainbow Lake Trail (1130) to climb Mount Ethel for a little more than a year. It was August 2008 when a couple of fishing buddies and I contemplated putting down our fly rods long enough to climb the landmark peak.

Tom Ross PILOT & TODAY

However, an unexpected latesummer snowstorm rendered the peak invisible, and we figured there was little reason to risk getting lost in a vain effort to stumble up to the socked-in summit. So, on Saturday morning Judy and I loaded our packs into the car and drove over Rabbit Ears Pass to make a two-day roundtrip to Ethel’s peak via Rainbow and Slide lakes. Although there were some strangely dark clouds midday Saturday, the trip was full of waterfalls, glacial erratic boulders perched on top of white granite capstone, alpine tarns ringed by permanent snow banks and late-summer wildflowers. In one marshy spot near timberline we found the seldom-seen hot pink blossoms of Perry’s primrose. The Mount Ethel escarpment is daunting from the northeast, but like other mountains I’ve walked up in the

We had a nice cool breeze for our walk to the summit Sunday, and although the hike was rigorous, there was nothing technical about it. Trail 1130 climbs to Upper Slide Lake before gaining serious elevation to a junction with the Continental Divide Trail, Wyoming Trail 1101. For hikers taking this route to Ethel, it’s a

A couple of small lightningcaused local blazes were put out during the weekend, but Routt County residents are still dealing with the effects of wildland fire. The smoky skies above Northwest Colorado are the result of numerous fires burning in California, and one in southwestern Utah, National Weather Service forecaster Joe Ramey said. “Chances are, this smoke’s going to stick around for a little while. It’ll probably be until this weekend before we finally clear this all out” of western Colorado, Ramey said. Eight fires in California continued to burn and grow Monday night, and the Mill Flat fire in southwestern Utah had consumed between 4,000 and 5,000 acres by Sunday. The Mill Flat fire has been burning for more than a month, according to Associated Press news reports, and it flared up during the weekend, leaving 12 square miles blackened. Ramey said the wind in Routt County likely will subside today after gusts from a weather system in Wyoming buffeted the region Monday. JOHN F.

The Easy Peaces came together the way you might expect someone with 40 years in the music business and a long history in Steamboat Springs to form a band. A few years ago, local guitarist and singer Kip Strean saw the Yampa Valley Boys do a tribute to John Denver, was impressed, and thought he might try something similar that was closer to his tastes. He chose Neil Young as a subject, then recruited longtime musical collaborator Willie Samuelson to play bass and occasional sideman Dave Allen to play drums. Strean had seen vocalist Laura Lamun perform a cappella at a Geeks Garage open mic and asked her to be his Emmylou Harris. Keyboardist Ed Dingledine — who worked with the same agent on the same touring circuit as Strean for years but had never met

him — joined the team when he realized Strean lived next door to him. “We chose the name, obviously, because a couple of us are ex-hippies,” Strean said. The group played several shows at Steamboat Mountain Theater, starting with Neil Young tunes and moving into favorite songs from the 1960s and ’70s. When the multipurpose venue came down with most of Ski Time Square in spring 2008, Strean spent the next 1 1/2 years looking for a new place to play. At 9 p.m. Wednesday, The Easy Peaces will play a reunion show at Ghost Ranch Saloon. See The Easy Peaces, page 14

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Ripe serviceberries and chokecherries around Steamboat Springs are drawing black bears in from the wilderness, keeping Division of Wildlife officers and homeowners busy this summer deterring, and sometimes killing, nuisance bears. Area Wildlife Manager Jim Haskins said his office has moved two yearlings away from town and two cubs to a rehabilitation center in Rifle. Also this summer, authorized trappers have killed at least three nuisance bears in northern Routt County, and landowners have killed about four bears as they protected livestock in the northern part of the county. One homeowner killed a bear outside of Hayden. One bear was killed when a car hit it, and one bear was shot illegally in downtown Steamboat in July. “Essentially, it’s not as bad as two years ago, but much worse than last year,” Haskins said

He was reluctant to say where the bears were relocated because it could cause complaints from residents in those areas. One bear, he said, was moved about 60 miles away at the end of May,

but within two weeks, it was causing problems near Hayden. Homeowner Chuck Kistler, who lives on U.S. Highway 40 west of Hayden, said he never had seen a bear in the area in the 30 years he and his family have lived at the home. But during the first week in June, a bear See Bears, page 16

City officials, residents to discuss U.S. 40 west of Steamboat Brandon Gee

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

A state senator, a county commissioner and a Colorado Department of Transportation official will meet with concerned residents today to discuss a dangerous section of U.S. Highway 40 where a local woman died this summer. Lorna Lou Farrow, co-owner of Farrow Repair Service west of Steamboat Springs, died July 28 after she was struck by a dump truck while checking her mailbox on U.S. Highway 40. The accident occurred in front of the repair shop near mile marker 127 on U.S. 40. The highway makes an S-curve in the area, which also includes accesses to the Steamboat Golf Club, Riverbend Cabins and a number of residences.

Residents have described the road segment as a recipe for disaster and said they have fought for years to see changes made that would increase safety in the area. The stretch of highway is an acceleration zone where the speed limit increases from 55 mph to 65 mph in about a mile. “This has been an issue for many, many years,” Paula Stephenson, one of several residents requesting changes, wrote in an e-mail to Routt County Commissioner Diane Mitsch Bush. “It is also one that has been brought to the attention of the county commissioners and CDOT for many, many years.

COMMENTARY

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

A different kind of liberal Ross Douthat

THE NEW YORK TIMES

Only 13 days separated the passing of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the founder of the Special Olympics, from the death of her brother Ted last week. But amid the wall-to-wall coverage and the stream of retrospectives for the senior senator from Massachusetts, it was easy to forget that he wasn’t the only famous Kennedy sibling to enter eternity this month. Liberalism’s most Douthat important legislator probably merited a more extended send-off than his sister. But there’s a sense in which his life’s work and Eunice’s deserve to be remembered together — for what their legacies had in common, and for what ultimately separated them. What the siblings shared — in addi-

tion to the grace, rare among Kennedys, of a ripe old age and a peaceful death — was a passionate liberalism and an abiding Roman Catholic faith. These two commitments were intertwined: Ted Kennedy’s tireless efforts on issues such as health care, education and immigration were rooted explicitly in Catholic social teaching, and so was his sister’s lifelong labor on behalf of the physically and mentally impaired. What separated them was abortion. Along with her husband, Sargent Shriver, Eunice belonged to America’s dwindling population of outspoken prolife liberals. Like her church, she saw a continuity, rather than a contradiction, between championing the poor, the marginalized and the oppressed and protecting unborn human life. Her brother took a different path. Not at first: In 1971, in a letter to a voter that abortion opponents would have many opportunities to quote, he

declared that “wanted or unwanted, I believe that human life, even at its earliest stages, has certain rights which must be recognized — the right to be born, the right to love, the right to grow old.” But like many other Catholic liberals, from Joseph Biden to Dennis Kucinich, he moved leftward with his party, becoming a down-the-line supporter of abortion rights, with a voting record that brooked no compromise on the issue. For abortion opponents, cruel ironies abounded in this sibling disagreement. Because of Eunice Shriver’s work with the developmentally disabled, a group of Americans who had once been marginalized and hidden away — or lobotomized, like her sister Rosemary — were ushered closer to full participation in ordinary human life. But because of laws that her brother unstintingly supported, that same group was ushSee Douthat, page 9

Until medical bills do us part Nicholas Kristof

THE NEW YORK TIMES

Critics fret that health care reform would undermine American family values, not least by convening somber death panels to wheel away Grandma as if she were Old Yeller. But peel away the emotions and fearmongering, and in fact it is the existing system that unnecessarily takes lives and breaks apart families. My friend M. — you’ll understand in a moment Kristof why she’s terrified of my using her name — had to make a searing decision a year ago. She was married to a sweet, gentle man whom she loved, but who had become increasingly absent-minded. Finally, he was diagnosed with early-onset dementia.

MALLARD FILLMORE

The disease is degenerative, and he will become steadily less able to care for himself. At some point, as his medical needs multiply, he will probably need to be institutionalized. The hospital arranged a conference call with a social worker, who outlined how the dementia and its financial toll on the family would progress, and then added, out of the blue: “Maybe you should divorce.” “I was blown away,” M. told me. But, she said, the hospital staff members explained that they had seen it all before, many times. If M.’s husband required long-term care, the costs would be catastrophic even for a middle-class family with savings. Eventually, after the expenses whittled away their combined assets, her husband could go on Medicaid — but by then, their children’s nest egg would be gone, along with her 401(k) plan. She would face a bleak retirement with nei-

ther her husband nor her savings. A complicating factor was that this was a second marriage. M.’s first husband had died, leaving an inheritance that he had intended for their children. She and her second husband had a prenuptial agreement, but that would not protect her assets from his medical expenses. The hospital told M. not to waste time in dissolving the marriage. For five years after any divorce, her assets could be seized — precisely because the government knows that people sometimes divorce husbands or wives to escape their medical bills. “How could I divorce him? I loved him,” she told me. “I explored a lot of options with an attorney here in town,” she added. “The attorney said, ‘I don’t see any other options for you.’ It took about a year See Kristof, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

Eunice had nothing to apologize for Douthat continued from 8 ered out again: the abortion rate for fetuses diagnosed with Down syndrome, for instance, is estimated to be as high as 90 percent. In 1992, Eunice participated in the last significant effort to push the Democratic Party away from abortion on demand, petitioning her party’s convention to consider “a new understanding” of the issue, “one that does not pit mother against child,” but instead seeks “policies that responsibly protect and advance the interest of mothers and their children, both before and after birth.” That same summer, in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the Supreme Court upheld a nearabsolute right to terminate a pregnancy — a decision made possible by her brother’s demagogic assault on Robert Bork

five years earlier, which helped doom Bork’s nomination to the court. At times, Ted Kennedy’s fervor on abortion felt like an extended apology to his party’s feminists for the way the men of his dynasty behaved in private. Eunice, by contrast, had nothing to apologize for. She knew what patriarchy meant: She was born into a household out of “Mad Men,” where the father paraded his mistress around his family, the sons were groomed for high office, and the daughters were expected to marry well, rear children and suffer silently. And she transcended that stifling milieu, doing more than most men to change the world, and earning the right to disagree with her fellow liberals about what true feminism required. It’s worth pondering how

the politics of abortion might have been different had Ted shared even some of his sister’s qualms about the practice. One could imagine a world in which America’s leading liberal Catholic had found a way to make liberalism less absolutist on the issue, and a world where a man who became famous for reaching across the aisle had reached across, even occasionally, in search of compromise on the country’s most divisive issue. That was not to be. And it’s entirely fitting, given his record, that Kennedy’s immediate legacy is a draft of health-care legislation that pursues an eminently Catholic goal — expanding access to medical care — through a system that seems likely, in its present design, to subsidize abortion. But his sister would have written it a different way.

Existing system breaks families, costs lives Kristof continued from 8 for me to do the divorce, it was so hard.” So M. divorced the man she loves. I asked him what he thought of this. He still can speak, albeit not always coherently, and he paused a long, long time. All he could manage was: “It’s hard to say.” Long-term care constitutes a difficult and expensive challenge in any health system. But the American patchwork, full of cracks through which people fall, has a special problem with medical expenses of all kinds bankrupting couples. A study reported in The American Journal of Medicine this month found that 62 percent of American bankruptcies are linked to medical bills. These medical bankruptcies had increased nearly 50 percent in just six years. Astonishingly, 78 percent of these people actu-

ally had health insurance, but the gaps and inadequacies left them unprotected when they were hit by devastating bills. M. still helps her husband and, quietly, continues to live with him and care for him. But she worries that the authorities will come after her if they realize that they divorced not because of irreconcilable differences but because of irreconcilable medical bills. There were awkward questions from friends who saw the divorce announcement in the newspaper. “It’s just crazy,” she said. “It twists people like pretzels.” The existing system doesn’t just break up families, it also costs lives. A 2004 study by the Institute of Medicine, a branch of the National Academy of Sciences, found that lack of health insurance causes 18,000 unnecessary deaths a year. That’s one person slipping

through the cracks and dying every half an hour. In short, it’s a good bet that our existing dysfunctional health system knocks off far more people than an army of “death panels” could — even if they existed, worked 24/7 and got around in a fleet of black helicopters. So, for those of you inclined to believe the worst about President Barack Obama, think it through. Suppose he is indeed a secret, foreign-born Muslim agent who is scheming to undermine American family values while killing off as many grandmothers as possible. If all that were true, why on earth would he be trying so hard to reform our health care system? We already know how to prod families into divorce and take a life unnecessarily every 30 minutes — all we need to do is reject reform and stick with exactly what we have.

Plans change for jail staffing

��

Sheriff will hire deputies, not civilians to man posts STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

A plan to hire civilians to work in the Routt County Jail control tower has been nixed in favor of hiring new, fully trained jail deputies. Sheriff Gary Wall reversed his initial proposal and now says that hiring trained law enforcement officers will allow greater staffing flexibility. Wall In May, Wall presented the Routt County Board of Commissioners with a job description and pay scale for civilians to operate the control tower of the jail in lieu of more expensive deputies. At the time, Routt County Human Resources Director Chris Hensen estimated the move would save $6,656 a year. Since that time, Wall has received a jail study from Lafayette-based firm Voorhis Associates and a blanket exemption from the county’s hiring freeze that will allow him to hire jail deputies. Results from the $10,000 study, which was commissioned to analyze staffing levels at the jail, have not been made public. “We want to have more flexibility, and having a civiliantype person who’s not trained in dealing with inmates doesn’t give us that,” Wall said. The initial proposal to hire civilian staff for the jail stipulated that the civilians would never come in contact with the inmates but would oversee inmates from the glass-enclosed control tower in the center of the jail. Control tower operators are charged with opening and closing doors throughout the jail and coordinating communication with deputies. By hiring and training deputies, the jail employees will be able to move to different parts of the jail and respond to incidents as needed. Commissioner Doug Monger said Wall discussed his decision with the commissioners. Monger said the money potentially saved by hiring civilians instead of trained deputies was a secondary concern. The money is “not an issue if it’s a safety issue,” he said. “That’s the second thought.” Commissioner Diane Mitsch Bush agreed that the monetary savings may not be worth the expense in safety and stress. Wall said the money to hire the two deputies already was

budgeted. Wall said his office is close to filling both of the jail positions, but training will take an additional three months. The Sheriff ’s Office also will hire a replacement for outgoing jail Sgt. Mike Baumann, who retired last week after

don’t get past basic services,” MacArthur said. “Money has to flow.” Councilman Steve Ivancie raised concerns with that idea. He said the city has a responsibility to make sure the fees it collects are used appropriately, and he questioned how that would be ensured if affordable housing fees were simply passed through to the Housing Authority. Most council members, however, voiced support for the idea. Nancy Engelken, the city’s community housing coordinator, said she is working on devel-

oping a process to allow money to be made available quickly to the Housing Authority while also making sure the city is leveraging its fees to the greatest extent possible. Also critical to the Housing Authority’s success is the successful development of its Elk River Village project. The Housing Authority borrowed $2 million to purchase a parcel on Elk River Road. In May 2008, the City Council approved a development plan for 48 rental units and 13 single-family home lots. Page-Allen said the holding costs on the property are “killing us.” MacArthur said the Housing

Authority is working with partners to buy a portion of the property and help develop the project using tax-credit financing. MacArthur said he is hopeful the plan will work, and Page-Allen said the Housing Authority will ask the city for help paying for pre-development costs. If development of the project doesn’t begin, the Housing Authority will be subject to a $202,845 curtailment of its loan in 2010. “If we’re not able to put something together with the partners we’re working with, we’re going to be in trouble,” MacArthur said.

Pluton. Pluton, it turns out, is a term used to describe a geological area dominated by igneous rock created from the consolidation of magma. What’s that got to do with my mystery woman? A trio of professors from the University of Iowa — M.F. Barinek, C.T. Foster and P.P. Chaplinsky — wrote a decade ago that the Mount Ethel pluton “is an elliptical body of granodiorite to quartz monzonite surrounded by Lower Proterozoic rocks in the Park Range, northeast of Steamboat Springs.” Mystery solved?

LaChance said it’s important to establish that trust between students early in the year. Those relationships could come into play when the outdoor programming begins. “It’s creating that team atmosphere,” he said. “It creates confidence, expectations and accountability — a lot of words we’re starting to discuss and introduce to the middle school kids.”

The first- and second-graders at the school ended their first day by drawing pictures of the favorite things they learned and did Monday. First-grader Emmitt Meyring wrote that he learned how to count to 100, and he drew a picture of himself playing on the playground with his friends. Emmitt said his first day at school was a good one. “I got to meet all my teachers and my friends, and all that stuff,” he said. “I’m looking forward to learning a lot of stuff” this school year.

Al White, RHayden, and Melissa Nelson of CDOT are expected to attend Tuesday’s meeting in addition to Mitsch Bush and the concerned residents. According to Colorado State Patrol Sgt. Scott Elliott, a dump truck was traveling west on U.S. 40 on July 28 and struck Farrow, 58, when it swerved to the right to avoid hitting a Jeep that slowed to turn left into the Riverbend Cabins. Monday, Elliott said he is still working on an accident report. No tickets have been issued, and no arrests have been made in conjunction with the fatal accident.

ly a bear killed two reindeer calves at a farm just outside of Steamboat. Three other nuisance bears were killed by authorized trappers in northern Routt County, with two of the kills taking place last weekend. The two cubs seen going through garbage behind the Old West Steakhouse were trapped and moved to a rehabilitation center. Haskins said the mother of those two probably still is in the area.

Berry crop Haskins said there are between three and six family groups of bears in the Steamboat area, totaling between six and 10 bears, but that number increases dramatically as bears prepare for winter. Haskins said the bears are coming closer to town to find berries as the low-lying areas and city warmth has spurred more growth near town than in the wilderness. Karen Vail, naturalist with Yampatika, said that during her nature hikes she has noticed many more berries close to town. “I found the berries in town are doing absolutely phenomenal,” she said, while the berries farther away are “absolute-

About black bears Today, bears are sharing space with a growing human population. Curious, intelligent and very resourceful, black bears will explore all possible food sources. If they find food near homes, campgrounds, vehicles or communities, they’ll come back for more.

ly bleak. There’s nothing out there.” Bears in the Yampa Valley tend to base their diets on the abundant serviceberries and chokecherries; they also eat a variety of other wild berries and acorns. Vail said a frost that swept through the area earlier this year may have killed many of the wild berries, while the warmth of the city and roads protected crops closer to civilization. “Right now (the bears) are going big time after small insects, grubs, moths. You’ll see a lot of logs down — old logs with inside sections of them turned over where they’re trying to get at the grubs,” she said. Yampatika Executive Director Sonja Macys said the berries likely will remain on the trees well into the start of cold weather, and bears could continue to come close to town to find them. — To reach Zach Fridell, call 871-4208 or e-mail zfridell@steamboatpilot.com

Giants riding high after sweep Janie McCauley

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO

A pair of grand slams provided bookends to a crazy week in a crazy season for the San Francisco Giants. All seemed lost following a heartbreaking, 14-inning defeat to the Rockies in Denver on Aug. 24, when Ryan Spilborghs’ game-ending slam lifted Colorado to a 6-4 victory after the Giants scored three runs in the top of the inning. A mere six days later, San Francisco rode the high of Edgar Renteria’s go-ahead grand slam that carried the Giants to a home sweep of the Rockies and into a tie for the National League wildcard lead with Colorado. Boom, just like that, the Giants are right back in it. “It’s a huge boost for us,” reliever Jeremy Affeldt said. “Big wins come in September. Any time right now, they’re going to rank up there. They all count, but these wins are big for momentum.” Speaking of September, it’s been five years since San Francisco played for something in the season’s final month. Now, the Giants are in the heart of a pennant race, the contender general manager Brian Sabean and skipper Bruce Bochy thought they could be from the start. This is a club that desperately wants to be remembered for much more than Randy Johnson’s 300th win in June or Jonathan Sanchez’s no-hitter in July. That’s because what people recall from recent seasons around here are the tremendous individual accomplishments: Barry Bonds’ home run record in 2007 and a Cy Young Award season by Tim Lincecum last year.

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Coach Andy Reust would like nothing more than for the runners on this year’s Steamboat Springs cross-country team to end the season in the same place where they start it. “I thought it was important for us to travel to the Fossil Ridge meet in Fort Collins,” Reust said, referring

to Saturday’s season-opening meet. “It’s where the state meet will be in October, and it’s important for our runners to see the course.” Between those two meets, the coach hopes to teach the runners on the team, all 10 of them, the things that will help them make it to state. “It should be a lot of fun this year. We have some good runners on this team,” veteran runner Jack Burger said. “It’s a

little smaller than last year, but that just means we will have to work a little harder.” Burger said he’s been running since he was a freshman and is used to the small size of the Steamboat teams. He would love to see more students participate, but he won’t complain about what he has. “Only five guys can run at state,” Burger said. “So it will be us.” With just five boys and five

girls, one of Reust’s main focuses will be on getting all of the runners at the same meet in order to qualify as a team. “That’s one of the things I’m really working toward,” Reust said. “We want to earn team points this year, so we are going to need everyone to show up and everyone to stay healthy.” Gus Allen, Scott Powers, Asher Rohde and freshman See Cross country, page 22

Welcome back, Kim: Clijsters wins at US Open Howard Fendrich

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK

Excited to be seeing an old pal for the first time in a while, the U.S. Open spectators dotting the mostly empty stands in Arthur Ashe Stadium called out to Kim Clijsters as she stepped on the court that means so much to her. “Come on, Kim!” yelled one fan. And then another. And yet another. “Hey, Kim!” someone

TENNIS — US OPEN else shouted. Monday morning’s setting was a familiar one for Clijsters, whose lone Grand Slam championship came at Flushing Meadows on Sept. 10, 2005. That was the last time she played at the U.S. Open, and while the site was the same, the circumstances and the stakes were oh-so-different. Clijsters’ 6-1, 6-1 victory

against 79th-ranked Viktoriya Kutuzova, of Ukraine, on Monday came in the first round, the 26-year-old Belgian’s first Grand Slam match since January 2007. In the intervening two-plus years, Clijsters retired, got married and, in May 2008, gave birth to a daughter. Once No. 1, she came to the U.S. Open unranked and needed a wild-card invitation from the U.S. Tennis Association. “Little more nervous than usual. It’s a very special court

to me, but I really enjoyed it,” Clijsters said. “I felt really good out there.” She came back this month at two hard-court tuneup tournaments, going 5-2. Clijsters made that 6-2 on a day of many happy returns at the U.S. Open. Defending champions Roger Federer and Serena Williams won, too, and Andre Agassi came back to the site of the final match of his career in See US Open, page 22

Broncos banged up as season nears NFL

ENGLEWOOD

The battered Broncos are running out of time and players alike. With just a short week left in their preseason, the Broncos are scrambling to fix a turnoverprone, mistake-filled and injuryriddled offense that’s nowhere near ready for the regular season. “Time is running out,” quarterback Kyle Orton said. “We have got to get some things fixed.” And some players healthy. The list of Denver’s sidelined players include: quarterbacks Orton (finger) and Chris Simms (ankle); wide receivers Jabar Gaffney (thumb) and Brandon Marshall (suspension); running backs Knowshon Moreno

(knee) and LaMont Jordan (leg); and right guard Chris Kuper (ankle). Jordan is the only one of the bunch who might be able to play Thursday night against Arizona, when the Broncos try to avoid their first winless preseason since 1960 with rookie Tom Brandstater or journeyman Ingle Martin under center. “Look, we’ll play with who we can play with,” coach Josh McDaniels said. “Life goes on sometimes in this league, and you play with who you have.” Orton gashed his right index finger on a follow-through in Denver’s 27-17 loss to Chicago on Sunday night, cutting short his middling performance against the team that traded him to the Broncos for Jay Cutler.

In 6 1/2 quarters, the Broncos’ starting offense has managed just one touchdown and four Orton interceptions, including one of them left-handed in the end zone. Orton led Denver to one field goal in six possessions Sunday night, not the kind of final tuneup the Broncos expected out of their new quarterback. “We only had three points and really were pretty much ineffective the entire night. That is an obvious sign of playing sloppy football,” Orton said. Orton, though, didn’t have his preferred supporting cast. Moreno, the team’s top draft pick, hurt a knee in the preseason opener two weeks ago, and the coaching staff didn’t recognize his injury and called

his number for another carry on the very next play before he limped to the sideline and into the locker room. Marshall’s insubordination resulted in a suspension last week for the remainder of the preseason, and there’s no telling when he might make significant contributions because he’s basically blown off training camp, admitting he hasn’t bothered to learn the playbook while rehabbing from a pulled hamstring. And Gaffney, the Broncos’ security blanket because he knows McDaniels’ style from their time together in New England, broke a thumb at practice Friday while reaching back for a pass thrown behind him.

Patriots’ Bruschi calls it a career THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NFL ROUNDUP BOSTON

Tedy Bruschi began the first day of his post-football life by taking out the trash. “I’m real life,” he said, “I’m just regular.” Hardly. Bruschi is that unique player who won three Super Bowls, spent a long career with just one team and got Bill Belichick to drop his stoic persona Monday and, in a voice shaking with emotion, call Bruschi “a perfect player.” And one more thing: “The thought of playing professional football after experiencing a stroke. I mean, is that a statement you hear everyday?” Bruschi said. “It’s not.” After all that, and more, the inside linebacker and father of three whose sons stayed home Monday because they “would rather play with their Transformers than come and sit in the front row” next to his wife, announced his retirement after 13 seasons with the New England Patriots. Smiling and never expressing regrets or shedding a tear, the longtime leader of the Patriots defense had a simple explanation for retiring now. Bruschi, who had missed much of training camp and one exhibition game with an undisclosed injury, said he was simply too old and found his “body doesn’t heal as quickly.” He also had accomplished all his goals except “winning a fourth championship,” he said. “Knowing I have three previous ones, I think I’ll let that one go. “I feel great about myself right now.” Just 4 1/2 years ago,

Bruschi walked unsteadily out of Massachusetts General Hospital with his wife Heidi. He had been admitted two days earlier, on Feb. 16, 2005, three days after playing in his only Pro Bowl and 10 days after his final championship.

Report: Favre thinks he may have cracked rib HOUSTON

Vikings quarterback Brett Favre says he might have a cracked rib, though it didn’t prevent him from starting against the Texans. Favre told ESPN before Monday night’s game at Houston that he hasn’t received an official diagnosis but that taking a deep breath caused him some discomfort. He also doesn’t plan to wear any kind of special padding, saying “the damage is done.” Favre didn’t appear to be in any pain when he handed off to Adrian Peterson on the first play of the game, and Peterson scored on a 75-yard run. Favre was expected to play the entire first half against the Texans. He wasn’t listed on the injury report, and none of his teammates mentioned the injury before the game. The three-time MVP signed a $25 million deal with the Vikings on Aug. 18.

Chiefs refuse to say how badly Cassel is injured KANSAS CITY, MO.

Brodie Croyle kept getting hurt and Tyler Thigpen seemed ill-suited for an NFL offense, so

the Kansas City Chiefs traded for Matt Cassel and gave him a guaranteed $28 million contract before the first snap. Now Cassel is hurt, Croyle is healthy and Thigpen is probably still ill-suited. But either he or Croyle could start against the tough defense of the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 13 in the season opener.

By beating 18-year-old NCAA champion Devin Britton of Jackson, Miss., 6-1, 6-3, 7-5, Federer ran his winning streak to 35 matches at the tournament and became the first tennis player to surpass $50 million in career prize money. Williams also beat an American teenager in straight sets, eliminating Alexa Glatch, of Newport

Beach, Calif., 6-4, 6-1. “Tricky match for me, playing a guy who’s got absolutely nothing to lose,” said Federer, seeking a sixth consecutive U.S. Open title. No one has done that since Bill Tilden won the American Grand Slam tournament every year from 1920-25. “That’s what I’m here for, trying to equal Bill Tilden’s record. But I’ve never met Bill Tilden. Never saw him play. So it’s hard to kind of relate to him in any way, except through records,” Federer said. “It’s fantastic to be sort of compared to someone who played such a long time ago, I guess.” Other winners included John Isner, the 6-foot-9 American who knocked off No. 28-seeded Victor Hanescu, of Romania, in straight sets, including a 16-14 tiebreaker in the second; No. 21 James Blake; and French Open runner-up Robin Soderling. Two-time major champion Amelie Mauresmo won easily, as did No. 7 Vera Zvonareva, No. 8 Victoria Azarenka, No. 10 Flavia Pennetta, No. 12 Agnieszka Radwanska and No. 14 Marion Bartoli, whose next opponent is Clijsters. Bartoli, the 2007 Wimbledon runner-up, also just so happens to have been the first woman Clijsters played in her comeback. Clijsters beat her. “I just have to go on court and think I’m still the player with the better ranking, so I’m supposed to win,” Bartoli said Monday. “This time I know what to do. I have a plan, so it’s going to be different.” That was only one of several impressive wins for Clijsters already, including against Azarenka and French Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova. “Where I was the most sur-

There also were some mistakes and some rust, including four double-faults. But Clijsters knew that would be part of the deal as she decided to embark on a second tennis career. She started thinking about ending her retirement seriously early this year, after being invited to play in exhibition matches to test Wimbledon’s new Centre Court roof. As Clijsters began to get in shape for that, she knew a return to the tour was what she wanted. Maybe even needed.
