No jail time for bear shooter Taxidermy costs still unresolved after plea agreement reached Brandon Gee

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Kent Nightwalker will not serve jail time for shooting a bear in downtown Steamboat Springs — and he wants to keep the bear’s remains if the Colorado Division of Wildlife insists on sticking him with a taxidermy bill. Nightwalker, who was sentenced Wednesday morning in Routt County Court, reached a

plea agreement stipulating that he pay $1,100 in fines plus surcharges, spend a year on unsupervised probation and perform 56 hours of community service. The plea agreement stipulated that a six-month jail sentence would be suspended. Nightwalker shot a bear July 20 in the alley outside his Eighth Street home. He originally was charged with three misdemeanors: waste of wildlife, for not taking the bear into his possession, a charge

normally associated with hunting; reckless endangerment, for discharging a firearm in public; and disorderly conduct, which prohibits anyone but peace officers from discharging firearms in public unless they are lawfully engaging in target practice or are hunting. Nightwalker pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and hunting in a careless manner. At the end See Nightwalker, page 6

Therefore, Luker collected more money for each day she reported having those children. Luker shared ownership in the child center with her husband, Alvin Luker, a Craig Police officer. Alvin Luker was not charged in the case, and there are no plans to file charges, prosecutors said. If Andrea Luker violates the terms of her probation or is arrested during its tenure for anything greater than a fourpoint traffic violation, she potentially could be resentenced for the charges against her.

She was sentenced to a deferred judgment and four years supervised probation, and ordered to perform 200 hours of community service.

As part of Luker’s plea agreement, the 14th Judicial District Attorney’s Office dismissed six charges of forgery of government issued documents, but added the petty offense charge.

of the hearing, Routt County Judge James Garrecht acknowledged the statewide notoriety the case received. “You sure became a public figure overnight on this one,” he said. One issue related to the case remains unresolved. After the shooting, the DOW took the bear to B&L Quality Taxidermy in Steamboat to be skinned, prepped and tanned and to have its skull cleaned. The DOW sent Nightwalker the bill. “Our position is, if Mr. Nightwalker pays for it, he should be able to keep what he’s paying for,” Nightwalker’s attorney, Kris Hammond, said to Garrecht. “If the DOW wants it, they can pay for it.” Reached by phone after the hearing, B&L owner Bob Reinier

said the bill totaled about $600. DOW officer Danielle Domson said the agency did not intend to relent on the bill. “We’re definitely going to demand that he pay for the taxidermy costs,” Domson said after the hearing. “The bear would have gone to waste otherwise. … We feel strongly that he needs to pay to take care of that bear.” Domson also said that Nightwalker does not have the required license to take possession of the materials. Garrecht agreed to give the two sides 90 days to resolve the issue. Nightwalker didn’t make any statements at the hearing. Nightwalker admitted to shooting the bear in late July. He told the Steamboat Pilot & Today that he was loading his car in preparation to leave for a business trip when the bear star-

tled him in the alley and went after a trash can. Nightwalker said he slammed his car door, ran inside and called 911. The dispatcher reportedly told him to remain inside and wait until the bear left the area. Call logs show that the call was placed from Nightwalker’s phone at 9:59 p.m. on July 20. After police didn’t respond to his call, Nightwalker said he decided to try to scare the bear off himself. He fired a shot, which he said was aimed at the ground near the bear’s feet. A second 911 call from a neighbor, reporting the dead bear, came at 10:13 p.m. The DOW investigated the shooting in cooperation with the Steamboat Springs Police Department. — To reach Brandon Gee, call 367-7507 or e-mail bgee@steamboatpilot.com

COMMENTARY

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

Still not tired Thomas L. Friedman THE NEW YORK TIMES

He didn’t want to wear earplugs. Apparently, he wanted to enjoy the blast. That is what The Dallas Morning News reported about Hosam Maher Husein Smadi, the 19year-old Jordanian accused of trying to blow up a downtown Dallas skyscraper. He was caught by an FBI sting operation that culminated in his arrest nearly two weeks Friedman ago — after Smadi parked a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, supplied by the FBI, in the garage of a Dallas office tower. “Inside the SUV was a fake bomb, designed to appear similar to one used by Timothy McVeigh in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing,” The News wrote. “Authorities say Smadi thought

he could detonate it with a cell phone. After parking the vehicle, he got into another vehicle with one of the agents, and they drove several blocks away. An agent offered Smadi earplugs, but he declined, ‘indicating that he wanted to hear the blast,’ authorities said. He then dialed the phone, thinking it would trigger the bomb. ... Instead, the agents took him into custody.” If that doesn’t send a little shiver down your spine, how about this one? BBC.com reported that “it has emerged that an al-Qaida bomber who died last month while trying to blow up a Saudi prince in Jeddah had hidden the explosives inside his body.” He reportedly inserted the bomb and detonator in his rectum to elude metal detectors. My God. Or how about this? Two weeks ago in Denver, the FBI arrested Najibullah Zazi, a 24-year-old Afghan immigrant, and indicted him on charges of plan-

ning to set off a bomb made of the same home-brewed explosives used in the 2005 London transit bombings. He allegedly learned how to do so on a training visit to Pakistan. The New York Times reported that Zazi “had bought some bomb ingredients in beauty supply stores, the authorities said, after viewing instructions on his laptop on how to build such a bomb. When an employee of the Beauty Supply Warehouse asked about the volume of materials he was buying, he remembered Zazi answering, ‘I have a lot of girlfriends.’” These incidents are worth reflecting on. They tell us some important things. First, we may be tired of this “war on terrorism,” but the bad guys are not. They are getting even more “creative.” Second, in this war on terrorism, there is no “good war” or “bad war.” There is one war with many fronts, including Europe and our own backSee Friedman, page 9

Does Obama get it? Bob Herbert

THE NEW YORK TIMES

The big question on the domestic front right now is whether President Barack Obama understands the gravity of the employment crisis facing the country. Does he get it? The signals coming out of the White House have not been encouraging. The Beltway crowd and the Einsteins of high finance who never saw this economic collapse coming now are telling Herbert us with their usual breezy arrogance that the Great Recession is probably over. Their focus, of course, is on data, abstractions such as the gross domestic product, not the continued suffering of living, breathing human beings struggling with the nightmare of joblessness.

MALLARD FILLMORE

Even Obama, in an interview with The New York Times, gave short shrift to the idea of an additional economic stimulus package, telling John Harwood a few weeks ago that the economy had likely turned a corner. “As you know,” the president said, “jobs tend to be a lagging indicator; they come last.” The view of most American families is somewhat less blasé. Faced with the relentless monthly costs of housing, transportation, food, clothing, education and so forth, they have precious little time to wait for this lagging indicator to come creeping across the finish line. Americans need jobs now, and if the economy on its own is incapable of putting people back to work — which appears to be the case — then the government needs to step in with aggressive job-creation efforts. Nearly one in four American families has suffered a job loss during the past year, according to a survey released by

the Economic Policy Institute. Nearly 1 in 10 Americans is officially unemployed, and the real-world jobless rate is worse. We’re running on a treadmill that is carrying us backward. Something approaching 10 million new jobs would have to be created just to get back to where we were when the recession began in December 2007. There is nothing currently in the works to jump-start job creation on that scale. A massive long-term campaign to rebuild the nation’s infrastructure — which would put large numbers of people to work establishing the essential industrial platform for a truly 21st century American economy — has not seriously been considered. Large-scale public-works programs that would reach deep into the inner cities and out to hard-pressed suburban and rural areas See Herbert, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

VIEWPOINTS

Thursday, October 8, 2009

War on terrorism has multiple fronts Friedman continued from 8 yard, requiring many different tactics. It is a war within Islam, between an often too-silent Muslim mainstream and a violent, motivated, often nihilistic jihadist minority. Theirs is a war about how and whether Islam should embrace modernity. It is a war fueled by humiliation — humiliation particularly among young Muslim males who sense that their faith community has fallen behind others, in terms of economic opportunity and military clout. This humiliation has spawned various jihadists cults, including al-Qaida, which believes it has the God-given right to kill infidels, its own secular leaders and less pious Muslims to purify Islam and Islamic lands and thereby restore Muslim grandeur. Third, the newest and maybe most active front in this war is not Afghanistan, but the “virtual Afghanistan” — the loose network of thousands of jihadist Web sites, mosques

and prayer groups that recruit, inspire and train young Muslims to kill without any formal orders from al-Qaida. The young man in Dallas came to FBI attention after espousing war on the U.S. on jihadist Web sites. Fourth, in the short run, winning this war requires effective police/intelligence action to kill or capture the jihadists. I call that “the war on terrorists.” In the long run, though, winning requires partnering with Arab and Muslim societies to help them build thriving countries, integrated with the world economy, where young people don’t grow up in a soil poisoned by religious extremists and choked by petro-dictators so they can never realize their aspirations. I call this “the war on terrorism.” It takes a long time. Our operation in Afghanistan after 9/11 was, for me, only about “the war on terrorists.” It was about getting bin Laden. Iraq was “the war on terrorism” — trying to build a decent, pluralistic, consensual

government in the heart of the Arab-Muslim world. Despite all we’ve paid, the outcome in Iraq remains uncertain. But it was at least encouraging to see last week’s decision by Prime Minister Nouri Kamal al-Maliki to run in the next election with a nonsectarian, multireligious coalition — a rare thing in the Arab world. So, what President Barack Obama actually is considering in Afghanistan is shifting from a “war on terrorists” there to a “war on terrorism,” including nation-building. I still have serious doubts that we have a real Afghan government partner for that. But if Obama decides to send more troops, the most important thing is not the number. It is his commitment to see it through. If he seems ambivalent, no one there will stand with us, and we’ll have no chance. If he seems committed, maybe — maybe — we’ll find enough allies. Remember, the bad guys are totally committed — and they are not tired.

Time to treat joblessness with urgency Herbert continued from 8 have been dismissed as the residue of an ancient, unsophisticated era. We seem to be waiting for some mythical rebound to come rolling in, magically equipped with robust jobs creation, a long-term bull market and paradise regained for consumers. It ain’t happening. Although the data mavens were talking about green shoots in September, employers in the real world were letting another 263,000 of their workers go, bringing the jobless rate to 9.8 percent, the highest in more than a quarter of a century. It would have been higher still, but 571,000 people dropped out of the labor market. They’re jobless but not counted as unemployed. The number of people officially unemployed — 15.1 million — is, as The Wall Street Journal noted, greater than the population of 46 of the 50 states.

The Obama administration seems hamstrung by the unemployment crisis. No big ideas have emerged. No dramatically creative initiatives. While devoting enormous amounts of energy to health care and trying now to decide what to do about Afghanistan, the president has not even conveyed the sense of urgency that the crisis in employment warrants. If that does not change, these staggering levels of joblessness have the potential to cripple not just the well-being of millions of American families, but any real prospects for sustained economic recovery and the political prospects of the president as well. An unemployed electorate is an unhappy electorate. The survey for the Economic Policy Institute was conducted in September by Hart Research Associates. Respondents said that they had more faith in Obama’s ability to handle the economy than congressional Republicans. The tally was 43 percent to 32 percent. But

when asked who had been helped most by government stimulus efforts, substantial majorities said “large banks” and “Wall Street investment companies.” When asked how “average working people” or “you and your family” had benefited, very small percentages, in a range of 10 percent to 13 percent, said they had fared well. The word now, in the wake of last week’s demoralizing jobless numbers, is that the administration is looking more closely at its job creation options. Whether anything dramatic emerges remains to be seen. The master in this area, of course, was Franklin Roosevelt. His first Inaugural Address was famous for the phrase: “The only thing we have to fear. …” But he also said in that speech: “Our greatest primary task is to put people to work.” And he said the country should treat that task “as we would treat the emergency of a war.” Now that’s the sense of urgency we need.

At Soda Creek Elementary School, 33 students, or 7 percent of the student body, were home sick. Steamboat Springs Middle School was down to 19 stu-

District officials have said the high absentee rates at some schools in the past couple of weeks are not a swine flu outbreak, but are a result of a variety of illnesses.

The mascot with the most spirit will have the chance to participate in the halftime show during the football game Friday. Kirstie Mcpherson, a student council member who heads the parade committee, said she’ll be glad when she wakes up Saturday morning and all the effort that has gone into planning the parade has paid off. “It’s a huge amount of work and coordination,” she said. “But it’ll be really cool to see all of the different student groups come out.”

Dover: Sojourn event has a kinetic feeling Vino owner Lisa Lesyshen also helped organize this year’s Literary Sojourn. She said authors are asked to speak about “whatever they want,” with no parameters, a tradition that through the years has lent spontaneity to the proceedings. “Some writers talk about how they write, some people talk about things they’re going to be writing … we’ve also had some people come and play their saxophone, so it really runs the whole gamut,” Lesyshen said. She noted that the saxophone player was author Chris Abani, in 2005. “He did a song, he brought his saxophone, he did all sorts of crazy stuff,” Lesyshen said. “What’s weird is that it still fit in with the whole Literary Sojourn experience. It’s quite odd because every year, for whatever reason, the authors somehow find a thread to talk about, even though they’ve never talked about it before … they somehow find that thread, and it makes the whole thing cohesive. It’s quite an extraordinary thing when the authors get together.” Michelle Dover, who works in circulation at Bud Werner Memorial Library, led a study of Literary Sojourn authors in the summer. She said Bausch’s “Hello to the Cannibals” stood out with local readers. The book alternates between stories of 19th-century West Africa and a

20th-century playwright in the American South. “Everybody really responded well to that one,” Dover said. “Both (stories) were really, really interesting.” Dover said the Literary Sojourn has a uniquely kinetic feeling. “There’s a great energy in the room. I don’t know what happens, but I always have a spectacular time when I’m there,” she said. “It’s inspiring. It’s not that you’re going to write or read more, but you’re talking about life while you’re there. It’s an inspirational place to be once a year.” For those unable to attend, authors, reading lists and details are online at www.literarysojourn.org.

County recorded 1st H1N1 case in June Vaccines continued from 1

Tips and symptoms for swine flu

eral guidelines for distribution of the vaccine as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control. The CDC recommends people in the following groups receive the 2009 H1N1 vaccine first: pregnant women; people who live with or care for infants younger than 6 months; health care and emergency medical personnel; anyone from 6 months to 24 years old; and anyone from 25 to 64 years old with certain chronic medical conditions or weakened immune systems. Younger people have been prioritized more than older adults and seniors because, unlike the seasonal flu, they have proven more susceptible to contracting this particular strain of influenza. The first shipments of the vaccine are in a nasal-spray form. Poirot said this further narrows the priority groups because the spray is not recommended for certain people including pregnant women and people younger than 2 or older than 49. Poirot said later shipments will include injections similar to the annual seasonal flu shot. Two million doses of H1N1

How to protect yourself: ■ Wash hands frequently ■ Use hand sanitizer ■ Avoid putting objects in your mouth or by your face ■ Cover your cough ■ Get vaccinated ■ Avoid large gatherings

and using your own bathroom. ■ Clean the bathroom and other surfaces daily. ■ If you are severely ill or at risk for complications, your physician may prescribe antiviral medications. ■ Take Tylenol or Ibuprofen for fevers (do not give Aspirin to children).

If you get sick:

Flu symptoms: ■ Sore throat ■ Runny or congested nose ■ Dry cough ■ Body aches, headaches ■ Fatigue ■ Fever ■ Diarrhea and vomiting

■ Stay home at least 24 hours without fever, except to go to the doctor. ■ If you still have a cough or runny nose upon returning to school or work, cover your cough/sneeze and wash frequently. Studies have shown you still are spreading the virus. ■ Limit your exposure to others in your home. Consider staying in your room

nasal-spray vaccine were distributed nationally this week, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, and Colorado received 53,000 doses. A second shipment of 4 million doses is expected to be distributed nationally beginning Friday, according to the state health department. “We don’t have any definites yet,” VNA spokeswoman Suzi Mariano said, “but it’s on its way.” Routt County had its first case of H1N1 in June, and numbers have been on the rise since school started this fall. There were no H1N1-associated hospitalizations in Routt County between Aug. 30 and Oct. 3, according to the state health department. There were 256 such hospitalizations statewide in that period. Seasonal flu viruses change from year to year but are closely related to one another. A new

and additional vaccination is required for H1N1 because it is a new flu virus very different from others, according to the CDC, and most people have little to no immunity to it. The CDC recommends everyone receive both vaccines as soon as possible this flu season. Although most will have to wait to receive the H1N1 vaccine, the regular seasonal flu vaccine is more widely available. However, Mariano said a person’s ability to receive the seasonal flu vaccine will vary case by case. “It looks like there is a delay in shipment of the seasonal flu vaccine,” Mariano said. “We’re going to shift our focus to only high-risk adults.” Mariano said there are plenty of doses available for children, and some health care providers may have more seasonal flu vaccines on hand than others.

Ex-patrolman had been accused of sexual assault AROUND COLORADO

LAKEWOOD

Authorities say a former Grand Junction police officer accused of sexual assault in Mesa County has been found dead in a hotel room in Jefferson County, more than 200 miles away. Jefferson County sheriff’s officials said Wednesday that 35-year-old Glenn Coyne had an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. The hotel’s housekeeping staff found Coyne’s body Tuesday. Coyne had recently posted bond in Mesa County after being arrested last week on charges of first-degree sexual assault and first-degree burglary. He was fired after two years as a Grand Junction officer. Authorities say Coyne was accused of assaulting a woman who called him for follow-up help after Coyne and other officers went to her house on a family matter.

Police in the Weld County city of Eaton say the incident happened Monday when teams from the Boys & Girls Clubs and the city of Eaton met for a scrimmage. Coach Shawn Mills told police that he had warned Nate Hernandez before that his team wouldn’t participate if the girl played. At the scrimmage, Mills says Hernandez came up to him with the girl and told Mills to explain to her why she couldn’t play. Mills says Hernandez got in his face, pushed him and then punched him in the left side of his face. Hernandez says he should have just walked away and feels badly about what happened.

Voorhis shared records of the investigation as he pursues his employment claim.

As the first wave of swine flu vaccine crosses the country, more than a third of parents don’t want their kids vaccinated, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll. Some parents say they are concerned about side effects from the new vaccine — even though nothing serious has turned up in tests so far — while others say swine flu doesn’t amount to any greater health threat than seasonal flu. Jackie Shea, of Newtown, Conn., the mother of a 5-year-old boy named Emmett, says the vaccine is too new and too untested. “I will not be first in line in October to get him vaccinated,” she said in an interview last month. “We’re talking about putting an unknown into him. I can’t do that.” The AP poll found that 38 percent of parents said they were unlikely to give permission for their kids to be vaccinated at school. The belief that the new vaccine could be risky is one federal health officials have been fighting from the start, and they plan an unprecedented system of monitoring for side effects. They note that swine flu vaccine is made the same way as seasonal flu vaccines that have been used for years. And no scary side effects have turned up in tests on volunteers, including children. On Wednesday, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius appealed for widespread inoculation against swine flu, vouching unconditionally for the vaccine: “We know it’s safe and secure.” The AP poll, conducted Oct. 1 to 5, found 72 percent of those surveyed are worried about side effects, although more than half say that wouldn’t stop them from getting the vaccine to protect their kids from the new flu.

Fired up? Ready to go? You might not know it from the way President Barack Obama’s grass-roots supporters have been largely drowned out in the raucous debate over his health care plan. Yes, they’re behind him, officials say — volunteering in their communities and contacting lawmakers in Congress. But some Obama organizers are calling their forces a “silent majority,” embracing Republican terminology of long ago. And if the final legislation doesn’t include a government run plan to compete with private insurers, they may be invisible, too. Although opponents of the health care revamp have largely controlled the image war with rowdy town halls and a huge march on Washington last month, Obama supporters have been mobilizing across the country, as well, tapping into the unprecedented network his presidential campaign built last year. “We’re building a longterm organization with leaders in the community who are trained.

SAN FRANCISCO

Marijuana advocates are gathering signatures to get at least three pot-legalization measures on the ballot in 2010 in California, setting up what could be a groundbreaking clash with the federal government about U.S. drug policy. At least one poll shows voters would support lifting the pot prohibition, which would make the state of 40 million the first in the nation to legalize marijuana. Such action would also send the state into a headlong conflict with the U.S. government while raising questions about how federal law enforcement could enforce its drug laws in the face of a massive government-sanctioned pot industry. The state already has a thriving marijuana trade, thanks to a first-of-its-kind 1996 ballot measure that allowed people to smoke pot for medical purposes.

But full legalization could turn medical marijuana dispensaries into all-purpose pot stores, and the open sale of joints could become commonplace on momand-pop liquor store counters in liberal locales such as Oakland and Santa Cruz. Under federal law, marijuana is illegal, period. After overseeing a series of raids that destroyed more than 300,000 marijuana plants in California’s Sierra Nevada foothills this summer, federal drug czar Gil Kerlikowske proclaimed, “Legalization is not in the president’s vocabulary, and it’s not in mine.” The U.S. Supreme Court also has ruled that federal law enforcement agents have the right to crack down even on marijuana users and distributors who are in compliance with California’s medical marijuana law. But some legal scholars and policy analysts say the government will not be able to require California to help in enforcing the federal marijuana ban if the state legalizes the drug.

Without assistance from the state’s legions of narcotics officers, they say, federal agents could do little to curb marijuana in California. “Even though that federal ban is still in place and the federal government can enforce it, it doesn’t mean the states have to follow suit,” said Robert Mikos, a Vanderbilt University law professor who recently published a paper about the issue. Nothing can stop federal anti-drug agents from making marijuana arrests, even if Californians legalize pot, he said. However, the U.S. government cannot pass a law requiring local and state police, sheriff’s departments or state narcotics enforcers to help. That is significant, because nearly all arrests for marijuana crimes are made at the state level. Of more than 847,000 marijuana-related arrests in 2008, for example, just more than 6,300 suspects were booked by federal law enforcement, or fewer than 1 percent.

Steamboat Steamboat, Springs High at 10-2 overSchool all and 7-1 in league play, has won three straight matches all in just three games, the last a 25-14, 25-10 and 25-17 win Tuesday in Rifle. “Going into someone else’s gym, you want to make sure you’re up for everybody,” Steamboat coach Wendy Hall said about the win at Rifle. “You want to be prepared to go out and play your best. It’s too far to travel to go down and perform anything less than our best. But we have to get ready for Glenwood and continue our good play.” Steamboat and Glenwood have played twice this season. The Demons took the first matchup in a season-opening tournament. The Sailors won the last one, a five-game thriller. Hall said Steamboat wasn’t as sharp as it could be against Rifle and that the team knows it will have to play better today if it wants to continue to keep pace with league-leader Eagle Valley. “I expect them coming in with a little bit of vengeance on their mind,” Hall said about Glenwood. “We stole a match from them in their own gym. A couple mistakes the other way and the outcome sways the other way. I’m sure that’s what they’re thinking. We need to be ready for them.” See Sailors, page 21

dependent on the day. You can’t be overconfident. You have to go in and play your game.” Steamboat enters the tournament as the favorite. The team finished the year 9-2 in head-to-head matches, the lone losses coming to perennial powers Kent Denver

The Middle Park High School softball team got the big hits, picking up strong doubles throughout Wednesday’s doubleheader against homestanding Steamboat, as well as three home runs in the second game alone. But it wasn’t necessarily those whacks that spelled doom for the Sailors. A flurry of walks delivered by Steamboat pitchers kept Panthers constantly on the bases, and the Sailors’ own strikeouts kept them from responding with any big innings. It all added up to two more lopsided defeats as Steamboat lost, 25-0 and 22-0, at Howelsen Hill. That puts the team at 0-8 on the season. “Our pitchers are struggling right now,” Steamboat coach Dan Swanson said. “We don’t have the velocity we need, and we’re struggling to hit our spots. “I know we can play better than that.” Steamboat issued 12 walks in the three-inning second game, and Middle Park frequently took advantage. The Sailors said the process was only more frustrating because at times they were close to getting out of innings that would prove so damaging. In the first inning of the second game, for instance, Middle Park built a fat lead, scoring 13 runs. Almost all of those came after a suddenly stout Steamboat defense picked up two quick outs. The third proved elusive and eventually costly. “We’ve had a hard time getting that third out all season,” Swanson said. Not all innings were that

It’s never any secret what the goal of the Steamboat Springs High School tennis team is when it takes the court at the regional tournament. In fact, that goal hasn’t changed — or gone unreached — in the past 11 seasons.

The Sailors will look for their 12th consecutive regional title today in Delta on the first day of the regional tournament. The tournament continues through Friday. “Win it. We’re going to win it,” Steamboat senior Vladan Chase said. “We’re the best team there; it’s just about playing our game. But it’s all

and Boulder. But that means, as it has for the better part of the decade, that no players in the region have a bigger bull’s-eye on them than the Sailors. “There is definitely a target on our backs,” Steamboat senior Jeff Lambart said. “Every team there is gunning for Steamboat because that would be a huge win for their program.” Steamboat’s biggest competition probably will come from Aspen and Montrose. Although Steamboat has seen little of Montrose this season, the team is more than familiar with Aspen. The Sailors beat the Skiers in Aspen, 6-1, on Sept. 19. Steamboat’s lone loss came at No. 3 doubles where Callum Richman and Luke Farny won the first set, 6-2, before dropping the next two, 6-4, 6-0. Coach John Aragon said that loss wouldn’t hinder the Sailors. What might, however, is the health of the team. Steamboat No. 1 singles player Jamey Swiggart and No. 2 singles player Keegan Burger have been battling a strain of the flu virus. Each is at the tail end of it, and both confirmed Wednesday that they’d be up for playing today. It will be instrumental for Steamboat to get through the regional tournament if the team hopes to reach its lofty goals at the state tournament Oct. 15, 16 and 17 in Pueblo. There, Aragon said, he thinks he has a team that can get into

the top five and potentially the top three. But to do that, the Sailors must get all 11 players through the regional tournament. Perhaps the best thing that could have happened to Steamboat was last week’s 0-6 loss to Kent Denver. The team had been rolling and saw firsthand what it takes to play at such a high level. “It was a big wake-up call,” Aragon said. “For every match and opponent, whether it’s the state’s best or the weakest team you play, you have to mentally prepare yourself and use your level of play to dictate what happens in that match.” For Steamboat, that means getting through today with opportunities for all 11 players to get to the state tournament. “This is a team that could win it if we field 11 at state and play our game,” Chase said. “It’s all about playing the best tennis we can. If you do that, you walk off the court with your head high. That’s what it’s all about.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

Kirsten Delaney reaches to record an out Wednesday as the Steamboat Springs High School softball team played Middle Park at Howelsen Hill.

Coach: Team hitting well at practice ugly, but the first inning of both games were the worst, drowning any Steamboat momentum before it could get started. After scoring 14 in the first inning of the first game, Middle Park tallied five runs in the second inning and six in the third. Swanson said those big deficits often proved detrimental to Steamboat’s offense. “It’s hard to play the game when you’re giving up 20-plus runs every game,” he said. “I can’t bunt with people or play small ball in those situations.”

Steamboat threatened to answer on several occasions, getting a handful of runners on base throughout the two games. A pair of Sailors reached base after being hit by pitches in the second inning of the second game, but the team couldn’t find a big hit to drive them home. “I don’t know why they weren’t hitting today,” Swanson said. “We’d been hitting well in practice, and we’ve been hitting faster pitchers, so it’s disappointing.” Steamboat continued to try to get something started, even late into the second game. Shantel

Payne reached after Middle Park overthrew first base and then scampered to second as the Panthers tried to find the ball. She made it to third on a wild pitch but never got a chance to score. Eight of the nine Sailor outs in both the first and second game came via strikeout. “We try and be positive,” first baseman Kirsten Delaney said. “We need a lot of practice and work. In years, we’ll eventually get there, smiling.” — To reach Joel Reichenberger, call 871-4253 or e-mail jreichenberger@steamboatpilot.com

Allen, Lynch earn top finishes for Sailors Sailors continued from 19 Hall said again the key will be for Steamboat to play solid defense and equate that into an attacking offensive approach. “Confidence is a powerful thing,” she said. “There is no reason we shouldn’t be confident. But we know it’s going to be a battle.”

Cross-country team fares well in Battle Mountain Despite a late change in the course, the Steamboat Springs High School cross-country team fared well in Battle Mountain on Saturday. On the boys side, Gus Allen paced the Sailors with a thirdplace finish. Asher Rohde was fourth, Scott Powers was fifth and Hunter Thompson was 19th. Katherine Lynch led the girls with a fourth-place finish. Erika Walters came in ninth, and Madi McKinstry was 16th. The course was changed after competitors in earlier

races encountered beehives along the way. In turn, the change to the course made it tougher, as it climbed more vertical feet. Steamboat coach Andy Reust said the course and the climbing would have been better to race on earlier in the year. Regardless, Reust said he was pleased with the way the Sailors ran. “We’ve got four really strong runners,” Reust said about the boys team. “We’re looking for that fifth. We’ll see what happens. Scott Powers really has come on strong lately. We’ve got four pretty good kids out there running at this point.” With the regional meet two weeks away, Reust said runners would begin to taper off with workouts. The team travels Saturday to Aspen before completing the regular season Oct. 15 in Rifle. Reust said that with the team starting to run well, he’s anticipating more solid results the next couple of weeks.

“As we get closer to regionals and state, all the courses are almost flat,” he said. “Everyone starting next week will be tapering down. They’ll start getting their legs underneath them.”

Colorado Academy can’t field enough players because the flu bug has hit the school. More than 60 percent of Colorado Academy’s players have come down with the illness.

Lee shackles Colorado; Phillies strike 1st in NLDS with 5-1 win THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Today’s games

PHILADELPHIA

Cliff Lee pitched like an ace instead of a postseason rookie. Lee dominated the Colorado Rockies, tossing a six-hitter, and the Philadelphia Phillies began their World Series title defense with a 5-1 victory in their National League playoff opener Wednesday. Raul Ibanez had two hits and two RBIs, and Ryan Howard and Jayson Werth drove in runs with key extrabase hits off 15-game winner Ubaldo Jimenez. On a day when swirling winds made flyballs an adventure, Lee, the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner, struck out five and had no walks in his first career playoff start. He retired 16 straight batters at one point until Garrett Atkins hit a windblown double in the seventh. Lee lost his shutout when Troy Tulowitzki doubled in a run with two outs in the ninth. The hard-throwing Jimenez was equally impressive against the league’s No. 1-scoring offense for four innings but ran out of gas in the fifth. He got chased with no outs in the sixth after allowing nine hits and five runs in five-plus innings.

Yankees 7, Twins 2 NEW YORK

Derek Jeter homered, CC Sabathia was the ace the Yankees signed him to be and New York romped against the Minnesota Twins in the opener

of their AL playoff series. After Jeter’s third-inning homer off losing pitcher Brian Duensing made it 2-all, Nick Swisher hit a go-ahead double in the fourth. Alex Rodriguez had gone 0 for 29 in the postseason with runners on base dating to Game 4 of the 2004 AL Championship Series before chasing Duensing with an RBI single that made it 4-2 in the fifth. Rodriguez hit an RBI single off the right-field wall in the seventh.

Dodgers 5, Cardinals 3 LOS ANGELES

Albert Pujols spent his biggest moments of the St. Louis Cardinals’ playoff opener with his bat sitting idly on his shoulder, thanks to some canny managing by Joe Torre. And though St. Louis ace Chris Carpenter was off his game, the rest of the Cardinals wasted a staggering number of chances to help him out. St. Louis stranded 14 runners in Los Angeles’ 5-3 victory Wednesday night, repeatedly failing to come through against the Dodgers’ six pitchers. Although both teams missed numerous opportunities in a game that set the division series record for total runners left on base by the sixth inning, St. Louis’ failures were more untimely and more thoroughly distributed throughout the lineup.

Musical cast goes to the dogs Newseum re-creates

Tim Russert’s office

Shelter puppies turn to show business in ‘101 Dalmations’ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK

There are no divas among the cast of “The 101 Dalmatians Musical,” but plenty of stars. Take Rascal, the puppy with a broken leg who was rescued from the side of a road. A late addition to the cast of more than a dozen dogs — most from shelters — Rascal has become “the charmer of the bunch,” said animal trainer Joel Slaven. “I thought, ‘Just what I need — a 4-month-old puppy with a broken leg.’ But he was my guy,” Slaven said. “He goes out with the big dogs and he watches them. He’s learning from them and he’s like, ‘I can do this. This is what I was meant to be.”’ The shelter-dog stars of “The 101 Dalmatians Musical” got a second chance with a new home on a Florida ranch, a rock star-style tour bus, topbilled roles in a stage show, and, in all likelihood, a place in the audience’s heart. It’s hard not to fall in love with these dogs — any dogs, actually — on stage, said lead producer Lee Marshall, whose track record includes shows

Slaven explains. That meant a flooding of shelters a few years later, and canine rescuers weren’t eager for that to happen again, he said. “The toughest thing I’ve ever done is finding the dogs,” he said. “When the movies came out, they were overbred and that made the breed, which already has some health problems, even worse. People got the dogs, couldn’t afford vet bills, found the dogs untrainable, or didn’t get along with kids. Shelters, Humane Societies and rescue groups don’t want anyone to use these dogs for entertainment, and they don’t want to help someone who’s going to do this again.” But Slaven said he persuaded some that he would use the dogs’ celebrity as a teaching tool. “I knew we’d have to do it differently than the movie. We have to explain about the stars that, just because they’re cute, doesn’t mean you should get one for the kids tomorrow.” The traits Slaven, who often trains animals for theme-park shows, was looking for in the dogs included stage presence and the ability to live in a pack, not things usually at the top of the list for families, he said.

with David Copperfield, Janet Jackson and Britney Spears, and Broadway’s “Jekyll & Hyde.” But dogs are almost universally accompanied by humans and taking cues from them, which he said can take away a little magic. For this show, which embarks on a national tour this month starting in Minneapolis, the three-minute finale is all dogs — performing what is essentially a song-and-dance act to a tune by composer Dennis DeYoung, of Styx fame. “It’s just jawdropping,” Marshall said. “This is a choreographed number they do all by themselves.” (It should be noted that in the bulk of the show, though, the Dalmatians are actually portrayed by actors, a la “Cats.”) Slaven started looking for Dalmatians back in January using a network of shelters and rescue groups, who were, he said, hesitant at first to be his partners. After the live-action Disney “101 Dalmatians” came out in 1996 and its sequel in 2000, there was a rush on the blackand-white spotted dogs as family pets — a role this breed is not necessarily suited for,

WASHINGTON

Longtime “Meet the Press” moderator Tim Russert’s office, complete with Buffalo Bills pennants and a journalist’s clutter, will go on display next month at the Newseum. The office will be reassembled to look as it did June 13, 2008, the day Russert died of a heart attack at age 58 while recording voiceovers for his next show at NBC’s Washington bureau. The exhibit at the journalism museum opens Nov. 20 and will remain through 2010. “After Tim’s death, it became very clear to us that Tim really hit a nerve with a wider swath of people than you would ordinarily think for a journalist,” Charles Overby, the Newseum’s chief executive, said Wednesday. He noted Edward R. Murrow is the only other journalist who gets such prominent treatment. “That shows the plateau on which we think Tim sits,” he said. Russert, who served on the Newseum’s board of directors, was bureau chief for NBC News in Washington and began hosting “Meet the Press” in 1991. His office was “very homey,

very much reflects his wide array of interests,” including politics, religion, family, music and his beloved Buffalo Bills, said Newseum exhibits director Cathy Trost. About 300 books filled Russert’s bookshelves, next to Uncle Sam figures and autographed baseballs. Newspapers, magazines and research binders cluttered his desk. A drawing done by his son, Luke, at age 7 was close by. NBC News President Steve Capus said the exhibit will be a snapshot of everyday life for a guy who became an important figure in news and politics. “When I saw the mock-up of what it was going to look like, it literally gave me chills,” he said. “You know, I felt like we were right back in those wonderful days when Tim was still with us.” A wooden sign at the front of Russert’s desk carried a special message for his staff: “Thou Shalt Not Whine.” “It ranges from the professional to the very personal,” Trost said of the items to be displayed. NBC is donating the office furniture to the Newseum, and Russert’s family is loaning the museum many of his belongings.

Iran has a nuclear mystery

��

Disappearance of scientist raises questions in Tehran Ali Akbar Dareini and Lee Keath

��

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

��

TEHRAN, IRAN

��

The disappearance of an Iranian nuclear scientist on a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia in June is raising questions about whether he defected and gave the West information on Iran’s nuclear program. Iran’s foreign minister on Wednesday accused the United States of involvement in the disappearance of Shahram Amiri, who reportedly worked at a university linked to the elite Revolutionary Guard military corps. In a sign of the sensitivities surrounding Amiri, Iranian officials have not even publicly identified Amiri as a nuclear scientist, referring to him only as an Iranian citizen. Amiri’s wife has said he was researching medical uses of nuclear technology at a university and was not involved in the broader nuclear program.

� ��

Iran’s foreign minister took the unusual step of complaining to the head of the United Nations last week about the disappearance, at the same time raising the case of a former defense minister who vanished in Turkey in 2007, also believed by many to have defected. Amiri vanished months before the revelation of a uranium enrichment facility near the city of Qom, which the United States and its allies accuse Iran of building secretly. The timing has led experts to question whether Amiri may have given the West information on it or other parts of Iran’s nuclear program. The discovery of that facility was a coup for Western intelligence. Iran denied trying to hide the site, insisting it was not yet required to declare it to the U.N. nuclear watchdog. Still, it was put on the defensive as it entered landmark nuclear negotiations with the U.S. and other world

powers last week, talks that have somewhat eased rising tensions between the two sides. U.S. officials said multiple streams of intelligence — particularly spy satellites — were used to reveal the Qom site and its function, but they have not specified whether the sources included Iranians on the ground. The United States and its allies accuse Iran of secretly seeking to develop nuclear weapons, a claim Iran denies, saying its program is intended only to produce electricity. Little is known about Amiri, and his fate remains a mystery after more than four months. Iran has asked Saudi Arabia for information on his whereabouts but has received no reply, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hasan Qashqavi said earlier this week. Amiri’s relatives have demonstrated several times outside the Saudi Embassy in Tehran demanding information.

In five turbulent years in office, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas never has faced as much outrage as he has about his decision to suspend efforts to get Israeli officials put on trial for war crimes in Gaza. On Wednesday, Gaza professors threw shoes at his defaced image, and West Bank commentators called for his resignation, the latest signs Abbas may have miscalculated in bowing to what Palestinian officials say was intense U.S. pressure. Abbas is unlikely to be forced out of office because he enjoys strong Western support and has ruled the West Bank without challenge since his Islamic militant Hamas rivals drove him out of Gaza in 2007. However, the scandal could cause lasting harm to the 74year-old Palestinian leader’s standing with voters and his ability to negotiate with Israel. In the short term, the U.S. is pushing for a quick resumption of Mideast peace talks, but gaps remain wide on what it takes to get back to the table. A weakened Abbas may not be in a position to make concessions when President Barack Obama’s special Mideast envoy, George Mitchell, returns to the region this week. “This is the worst position that Abbas has found himself in since he was elected president,”

said Hani al-Masri, a West Bank commentator. At the center of the uproar is a 575-page U.N. report about Israel’s three-week war in Gaza last winter, which alleges that both Israel and Hamas committed war crimes, something both sides deny. Last week, Abbas withdrew Palestinian support for a vote in the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva to have the report sent to the U.N. General Assembly for possible action — the first of many steps toward possibly establishing war crimes tribunals. With the Palestinians out of the picture, the council set the report aside for six months. Abbas made the decision under heavy U.S. pressure, Palestinian and Israeli officials have said. U.S. officials told Palestinian leaders that a war crimes debate would complicate efforts to restart Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, according to participants in the meetings. The anger over Abbas’ decision was intense because many Palestinians felt he chose not to pursue a rare opportunity to win justice for Gaza’s war victims, said Mustafa Barghouti, an independent Palestinian legislator. “Finally, there was a moment, in front of the international community, to hold Israel accountable,” Barghouti said. “What (Abbas) did, or his government did, it’s now perceived that they gave Israel the leeway to escape from that.”
