Area reacts to Clean Power Plan EPA fact sheet: In new program, state’s goals in 2 categories less stringent By PATRICK KELLY DAILY PRESS WRITER
CRAIG — On Monday, President Barrack Obama introduced the finalized Clean Power Plan at a White House event, labeling it the nation’s “biggest, most important step we’ve ever taken to combat climate change.” According to the White House, “The final Clean Power Plan sets flexible and achievable standards to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 32 percent from 2005 levels by 2030, 9 percent more ambitious than the proposal.” States will be responsible for creating their own plans to meet the requirements and have the option of working with other states by trading in an emissioncredit market. The Clean Power Plan sets two options for how states evaluate emissions — rate-based and mass-based. A rate-based plan looks at pounds of carbon dioxide produced per megawatt hour while mass-based considers overall CO2 emissions. In 2012, Colorado produced 1,973 pounds of CO2 for every megawatt hour generated, meaning it will have to achieve

a 40 percent reduction to meet the 2030 goal of 1,174 pounds per megawatt hour. For a mass-based plan, Colorado would seek to reduce total emissions by 28 percent,
reducing to 29.9 million short tons of CO2 in 2030 from 2012’s 41.7 million short tons. Colorado’s goals under both categories are less stringent in the new plan, according to an
EPA fact sheet. According to the EPA document, “The 2012 baseline for Colorado was adjusted to be more representative, based on information that came in during
the comment period.” The final plan also moves away from the idea of using natural gas, which emits half as much carbon dioxide as coal, as a transition fuel. Electric utility companies are now expected to produce 28 percent of the nation’s capacity from renewable sources by 2030, as opposed to the originally proposed 22 percent. As demonstrated by a federal court ruling poised to stop work at Colowyo Coal Mine, residents of Northwest Colorado take threats to the coal industry seriously. “Why are we hamstringing our national economy and our Moffat County economy?” Moffat County Commissioner John Kinkaid said. According to Yampa Valley Data Partners, a nonprofit research organization, the top 10 taxpayers in Moffat County are energy related. Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, which operates Craig Station, the second largest coal-fired power plant in Colorado, is the number one tax contributor in Moffat County. In 2014, TriState paid $5,762,011 in taxes See REACTIONS on page 2A
Dog show brings furry 4-H fun to fair By DEREK MAIOLO DAILY PRESS WRITER

FROM LEFT, BRAYDEN ANDERSON and her dog, Tilly; Brianna Burkett and her dog, Jake; Bryson Davis and his dog, Levi; and Kyann Kainz and her dog, Oakley; stand with their dogs during the sit-and-stay portion of the obedience competition.
CRAIG — The Moffat County Fair dog show kicked off Tuesday morning and half the building was filled with excitement and preperformance jitters as groomed dogs and their young owners busied themselves in preparation for their upcoming events. Jenna Timmer, 13, and her border collie, Skeeter, stood outside the ring waiting to perform. She’s been a member of 4-H for five years, but this is the first year she’s competed in the dog show.

“I’m excited for the obedience event,” she said. The show was divided into three events: showmanship, obedience and rally. Owners receive awards in each event based on varying criteria. Any breed and age of dog can compete, and the roster of canines reflected the diversity the rules allow. Brianna Burkett, 14, had to shout her dog’s name, Jake, multiple times in the ring before he finally responded to her commands. She said that Jake is going deaf due to his age, which Brianna guesses is between 11 and 13. She’s

not sure, because she rescued him when Jake was young. At the time, he showed obvious signs of abuse, both physical and mental. She enrolled in the dog program three years ago in order to help rehabilitate him. Training and competing, she said, has helped him immensely. “He’s a different dog,” she said. “Our relationship is a lot better.” It was Jake’s third and final year in the dog show, but Brianna said she will continue to compete using her younger See DOG SHOW on page 2A Comics . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20A Entertainment . . . . . . . . . 19A Lottery . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5A Opinion . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6A Sports . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 17A Weather . . . . . . . . . . . . . 14A

KATIE HASKINS AND HER HORSE, JAGER, await their turn in the arena during Saturday’s open horse show at Moffat County Fairgrounds. Haskins competed in the Western division of the discipline and said she has been riding horses ever since she was old enough to sit atop one by herself.
REACTIONS: Shares plummeted since 2011 FROM PAGE 1A
— accounting for almost one out of five dollars collected by the county. Tri-State is an electric power supplier owned by 44 electric cooperatives. It generates and transmits electricity to its member systems throughout a 200,000 square-mile service territory across Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico and Wyoming. Lee Boughey, Tri-State’s senior manager of corporate communications and public affairs, said Tri-State has concerns about the plan but will work to minimize the impact on rural consumers and its employees. Tri-State has added nearly 250 megawatts of renewable energy since 2008 and has plans to add another 226 by 2017, Boughey said. In 2014, Tri-State generated 1,866 megawatts from coal,
897 megawatts from natural gas and 863 from renewable energy resources. Northwest Colorado is also home to another coal fired power plant. Hayden Station is located 23 miles east of Craig in Routt County and operated by Xcel Energy. Recently, Xcel initiated a $160 million project to improve emission controls at the plant. Mark Stutz, Xcel spokesman, wrote in an email, “Xcel Energy currently is at a 26 percent reduction from 2005 carbon dioxide levels in Colorado, and we are on track to achieve a 35 percent reduction from 2005 levels by 2020.” Peabody Energy Corp., the largest private-sector coal company in the world, has a presence in Northwest Colorado with Twentymile Mine. The mine, about 40 miles southeast of Craig in Routt County, employs
about 340 people and sold 7.1 million tons of coal in 2014. In a statement Peabody said the rule will “punish American families and businesses with higher energy costs and damage electric reliability, while having no notable benefit even under climate theory.” Shares for Peabody hit a high of $72.71 in 2011 and have since plummeted 98.6 percent to $1.02 as of Tuesday afternoon. Professor Mark Squillace, director of the Natural Resources Law Center at the University of Colorado-Boulder, said coal is unlikely to be a part of the nation’s energy portfolio in the long-term with or without the new Clean Power Plan.

dog. She loves 4-H and encourages anyone interested to get involved. “It doesn’t matter what activities you’re in; anyone can do it,” she said. Diane Calin, a 4-H leader, echoed the same message. She’s led 4-H groups for 15 years, and is now the leader of the K-9ers, 11 of whom competed Monday. She pointed out the hard work and dedication the
competition requires. “These kids have been practicing for nine months,” Calin said. In this time, dogs and their owners grow very close to one another. “Their dogs become their brothers and sisters,” Calin explained. Mitchell Davidson, 17, was one of the greatest examples of a dedicated competitor. He’s competed in the dog show for nine years. He showed two dogs in this year’s competition and
said he enjoys the challenge of training for shows. “It’s been really fun,” he said. The dog show wrapped up with the rally event, which most of the competitors seemed the most excited about. It was the only event without a judge. Instead, dogs and their owners maneuver a pre-determined course, completing tasks at various points along the way. “You don’t feel as tense,” competitor Bryson Davis, 14, said of the rally. “I’m psyched.”

A Utility Task Vehicle burst into flames at Elkhead reservoir Sunday.
3 fires ignite in 2 days across Moffat County By PATRICK KELLY Daily Press Writer
Craig — Craig Fire/Rescue responded to three fires in Moffat County on Sunday and another Monday morning. On Sunday, firefighters extinguished a utility task vehicle that caught on fire at Elkhead Reservoir. The fire spread across approximately a quarter acre of foliage, which was extinguished as well, said Cpt. Brian Slaight from Craig Fire/Rescue. Another fire was extinguished off U.S. Highway 40 and Moffat County Road 64. Slaight said the wildfire spread across two acres, and the cause is being investigated by Moffat County Sheriff ’s Office. Two Moffat County fire engines responded to the fire alongside four Craig Fire/Rescue fire trucks. The last of Sunday’s fires happened at Yampa Valley Golf
Course. Battalion Chief Steve Lingo said a smoldering ash pile ignited logs. All fires were put out without injury. On Monday morning, Craig Fire/Rescue responded to a fire at an oil processor on Moffat County Road 39, outside of Hamilton. Lingo said the incident was more serious because flammable oil and gas were factors. However, the fire, which was mostly smoldering insulation, was extinguished without incident. According to Craig Interagency Dispatch Center, fire danger in Moffat County is currently moderate. Reach Patrick Kelly at 970-875-1795 or pkelly@ CraigDailyPress.com.

Vic (pictured) and Amy Updike bought Masterworks Mechanical from Dave DeRose last month.
Masterworks Mechanical sold Vic, Amy Updike take over ownership of Craig business from Dave DeRose By DEREK MAIOLO For the Craig Daily Press
Craig — Dave DeRose sold Masterworks Mechanical last month to Vic and Amy Updike, who took ownership of the business July 1. The couple said since taking the reins, things have run smoothly. “Craig’s been good to us,” Vic Updike said. Longtime resident DeRose began Masterworks as a oneman project 26 years ago. In that time, he took on 14 employees and acquired the 6,900 square foot building on 461 Yampa
Ave. where the Updikes will continue to operate. Vic Updike began working for DeRose in 2009, but has been in the trade mechanics trade for 28 years. His wife joined the business a year ago after DeRose decided to sell. DeRose is confident the couple will continue to bring quality service to Northwest Colorado. “I feel like they can take over and embellish it,” DeRose said. Vic Updike already has some improvements in mind. He plans to put new plumbing fixtures and furnaces on display
in the shop’s showroom. “There will be a lot of new stuff in there by September,” he said. He added he wants to stay competitive, and in order to do so ensures his employees receive adequate training and certification. Seven employees are certified in carbon monoxide detection and four are certified in air balancing. Vic Updike said he and his staff are committed to helping the local area. “I want to have a business that helps the community grow,” he said.

Judy Blume’s new novel By DIANE PRATHER FOR THE CRAIG DAILY PRESS
Though this week’s novel for adults is a work of fiction, author Judy Blume has said the catastrophic events at the center of the plot really happened. Blume writes that she grew up in Eiizabeth, New Jersey where “In the Unlikely Event” was set. In the Diane Prather winter of 195152 she was a teenager. That’s when three airplane crashes occurred after takeoff from Newark Airport. This week’s book is Blume’s latest novel. “In the Unlikely Event” is published by Alfred A. Knopf Publishers, 2015. Blume is a well-known author of twenty-eight previous titles for all ages. She is perhaps best known for the “Fudge” books for younger readers and “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret” for middle-grade readers. She has written three adult novels. This week’s novel begins February 10, 1987, “Thirtyfive Years Later.” Miri Ammerman boards a plane, heading for Elizabeth to attend a commemoration ceremony. Following the two-page introduction, the novel shifts backwards in time to December 1951 when Miri is 15 years old. Miri lives with her mother, Rusty Ammerman, in a twofamily house on Sayre Street. Miri and her mother live upstairs, and Irene, Rusty’s
mother, lives downstairs with Rusty’s brother, Henry. He is a reporter for the Elizabeth Daily Post. Miri was born when Rusty was 18. Miri has never met her father, at least at the beginning of the novel. There are lots of characters in this novel. When I first started reading, I made a list so I could keep them straight. Each chapter is divided by character names so that the point of view shifts from one to another. For example, in Chapter 1, under Irene, the reader learns that, since Hanukkah and Christmas fall at the same time this year, she is hosting an open house where invited guests can buy everything from gemstones to Ronson lighters — and have them gift-wrapped, too. Just before the open house gets started, Estelle Sapphire calls. She can’t get there because she’s getting ready to fly to Florida the next morning. Would Irene set aside some compacts? Her husband Ben will pick them up. The reader learns about Ruby Granik, too. She’s a professional dancer who will be flying to Miami to dance at the Vagabond Club. So, the next morning is cold and windy. The Newark Airport records a new low of six degrees at 7 a.m. The flight to Miami is delayed two hours and then delayed again. While she waits, Ruby overhears Ben and Estelle talking. Estelle reminds Ben to pick up the compacts from Irene’s house. Finally, at 3 p.m., the pas-
sengers board the plane. Estelle is in a seat behind Ruby. Ruby has a window seat. Ruby’s seatmate has a seven-month-old baby. Ruby, who has flown a lot, knows something is wrong. The plane isn’t climbing. Then the wing falls off the plane, and they’re falling. Meanwhile, in Elizabeth, Henry and the managing editor’s nephew are just outside the Elks Club. They hear a roar. A plane is falling about one hundred feet above them. There are flames. Henry knows this is his front page story. Miri and Rusty are returning home from a movie. There are kids on the street. A ball of fire is heading toward them. They’re all knocked down. Henry reaches the Elizabeth River where the plane has landed belly down with a wing sticking straight up. 56 people are killed, including Ruby and Estelle. But that’s not all. Within eight weeks there are two more airplane crashes in Elizabeth. They affect all the people in one way or another. There’s a lot going on in this novel. The final chapter is back to February 10, 1987, when Miri attends the ceremony with childhood friends, and the reader finds out what has become of all the characters. You won’t be able to put this novel down. You can find it at the Craig branch of Moffat County Libraries or can purchase it, in hardcover, for $27.95.
Coal and the energy industry are taking some big hits this summer. Most of the body blows are courtesy of the federal arm of our government and their supporters. But the great thing about this fight is that we are only in the early rounds and the opposition’s corner may change in the coming months. If you remember Lance Scranton Muhammad Ali’s famous “rope-a-dope” fight, you know the battle is won in the late rounds if you can just hang on. It feels like we’re getting slammed in every direction, but unlike a Rocky Balboa battle, we’re a real community with some amazing people who are battling to ensure our success and sustainability. Success is easy when we band together, educate ourselves about the issues and support our local officials who are fighting to ensure our voice is heard. The latest reports indicate the president’s draconian power plant emission measures might help decrease temperatures by a miniscule amount, and as progressives are fond of saying, “Hey, this is real progress!” Sure it is, but so is taking guns away from law-abiding citizens or protecting illegal aliens from the very laws that we follow — it’s all a matter of perspective. The perspective of a federal politician is very different than that of our locally elected officials. Sally Jewell isn’t interested in visiting Northwest Colorado because she might encounter a human side to what is attempting to be enacted by the president. If she were to tour the power plant and the mine she might realize how clean and sustainable these crucial industries can be for our energy security. I imagine these office-dwelling, meeting-mania, rabid-regulator types looking at the wall and wondering why all energy can’t be as clean and wholesome as the type that is powering their devices as they make rules and regulations that have absolutely no effect on them. Sustainability is a great word to throw about these days, and people love to latch on to anything that makes them feel like they are saving the planet, which usually includes that cup of ethicallysourced, globally responsible coffee. It really makes you feel good, but the fact is you are still consuming, and your consumption doesn’t usually decrease your environmental footprint. Consumption of a product is much like the consumption of an idea — you don’t really know how it will affect you until it has run its course. So, keep absorbing the body blows, deflect as many punches as you can and remember we’re in this for the long haul. I wish Rocky could come and save us, but he isn’t real; Ali is too old, so we will have to count on each other to get through this battle together.

Finally a fix for No Child Left Behind BY MICHAEL BENNET FOR THE CRAIG DAILY PRESS
It’s probably a safe bet that at one time or another, all of us have been on the receiving end of well-intentioned but misguided policies coming out of Washington. Unfortunately, our public education system is no different. Whether you’re a parent, student, teacher, school adminMichael Bennet istrator or none of the above, you have likely heard of the problems with No Child Left Behind. This law was a 2002 update of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, which is the chief federal law addressing K-12 education. There were some good and important changes in No Child Left Behind, but it was riddled with serious issues that we saw firsthand as parents and I experienced in my role as superintendent of Denver Public Schools. Fortunately, last month, 81 senators came together to pass a long overdue fix to the law. The Every Child Achieves Act reforms many of the failed policies from No Child Left Behind, while still maintaining several of the measures that have proven successful. On the Senate HELP Committee, our office had the opportunity to help write the bill and secure several amendments. We took the lessons we learned from Denver Public Schools and the countless stories we heard from families, principals, teachers, and kids across Colorado and incorporated them into the new bill. We fought to include measures
to better recruit, train and retain teachers and principals, reduce federal overreach, encourage innovation, and ensure we are supporting our rural schools. We know teachers are the single most important in-school factor affecting the quality of a child’s education. To that end, we included support for teachers to grow in their profession, including allowing them to take on leadership roles in school, such as mentoring other teachers and providing academic coaching. We also worked to include access to higher quality teacher development that has been proven to help teachers grow. And we incorporated support for teacher and school leader residency programs, modeled off of the Denver Teacher Residency Program, which we developed right here in Colorado. One of the chief complaints about No Child Left Behind was its prescriptive, top-down approach to help failing schools. In this new bill, we reduced federal overreach and promoted statedriven accountability systems, while still helping to provide kids from all walks of life with a great education. The bill still maintains annual assessments and data to identify and track achievement gaps for different subgroups of students, but we returned the power to states to decide how best to implement plans to fix their lowest performing schools. The bill also empowers states to set a limit on the amount of time students will spend taking annual assessments, helping to reduce the impact of testing in our classrooms After hearing from rural communities throughout Colorado, we included a bipartisan package of provisions to help better

for our summer Walk-a-thon. The printer cartridge recycling program is a greater success than we could have imagined. Businesses, organizations and individuals are participating, and we are ready to send off our third box of cartridges for recycling. The community also donates clothes, formula, food and even high dollar items like Port-aCribs, strollers and high chairs. People almost always say something like, “I wanted this to get to someone who could use it”. Your generosity keeps our Practical Needs Store Room full and our volunteers busy. I do have one other thing I’d like to ask you all to do … please help us get the word out. The Pregnancy Center isn’t “just” for pregnant teens and women — we have resources for anyone raising or caring for infants and toddlers: single parents, couples, grandpar-
ents and foster parents. Almost everyone knows someone in one of those categories. Everything we have in our Practical Needs program is free, either given outright or loaned for 6 months. Anyone can take Earn While You Learn classes and earn “baby bucks” toward baby or toddler items we do not have at the Pregnancy Center but will get for them. I’ve been in Craig about 3 1/2 years, and I can truthfully say this is the best town I’ve ever lived in. I am so blessed and proud to be part of this community and am grateful beyond words to all of you who support our mission and ministry at Yampa Valley Pregnancy Center.

support our rural schools. These include measures to provide technical assistance to rural school districts when applying for federal grants, clarify that rural districts or Boards of Cooperative Educational Services can join together to submit funding applications and require that the state and the Department of Education study policymaking processes and ensure they are taking steps to increase the consideration and participation of rural schools.
This bill still isn’t perfect. As we enter into negotiations to reconcile the House and Senate versions of the bill we will work to add accountability measures to make certain all kids have access to a quality education regardless of their zip code. We need to ensure we are identifying the lowest performing schools so states can put their plans in place. This bill is shaped by Colorado voices and designed to re-empower those closest to our kids. It
helps ensure decisions about educating our children are being made by those who know them best. It includes many necessary tools to help our states, school districts, principals and teachers ensure the success of the next generation. Our kids and grandkids are counting on us to help create an education system that prepares them for success in the 21st century. Passing this bill — while a long time coming — is certainly a step in the right direction.

he annual Perseid meteor shower is cranking up and is expected to peak about 2 a.m. Aug. 13. The timing this year is perfect for meteor watchers in western North America, plus, the moon will be in its new phase, leaving the sky nice and dark for meteor watching. The Perseid meteor shower is the “old faithful” of meteor showers because, under good sky conditions, it dependably produces between 60 and 100 “shooting stars” per hour, at its peak. But don’t wait for the peak — you can expect to see about 15 to 30 meteors per hour before dawn each morning for a week on either side of the peak, as the shower rises to and falls from its maximum activity. Perseid meteors also are called “St. Lawrence’s Tears” and have been observed every August since at least 258 A.D. That’s when the Romans martyred a Christian deacon named Laurentius on a hot gridiron. As Laurnetius’ family carried away his body, they saw a number of bright streaks shooting across the sky. They believed the streaks were the fiery tears of Laurentius falling from heaven, and they marveled at the miracle. Centuries later, sky watchers all across the world continue to marvel at the sight of “St.

Jimmy Westlake Lawrence’s Tears” in midAugust every year. In 1862, American astronomers Lewis Swift and Horace Tuttle co-discovered a comet that now bears their names: Comet Swift-Tuttle. Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli pointed out that the Perseid meteor particles orbit the sun in the same path as Comet Swift-Tuttle. That was the first indication that comets could be the source of our annual meteor showers. We now know that the Perseid meteors are produced when the Earth crosses the orbit of Comet Swift-Tuttle in mid-August every year. Tiny bits of dust left in the wake of the comet smash into the Earth’s atmosphere at 130,000 mph and burn up as fiery meteors about 60 miles high. What we witness as a “shooting star” is not the dust particle itself, but the hot, incandescent column of superheated air that surrounds it. Particularly large Perseid meteors can leave glowing smoke trails that persist for many seconds or minutes after

City hires search firm to help recruit police chief FOR THE CRAIG DAILY PRESS
August 7th
The city of Steamboat Springs has launched a nationwide search for its next chief of police. City Manager Deb Hinsvark selected KRW Associations, an executive search firm based in Colorado Springs, to head up the search. Community members will also serve on the selection committee. When four to five finalists are selected, they will be invited to Steamboat for interviews and to meet with members of the community. Hinsvark said the search pro-
cess should take about 90 days. The process the city is using now to find a new police chief is a departure from the last time a new chief was named. After J.D. Hays announced his retirement in 2012, then City Manager Jon Roberts quickly promoted Joel Rae from patrol captain to chief. Rae resigned last month shortly before some of the findings of an internal police investigation were released to the public. Rae had been with the police department since 1996.

the meteor’s death plunge. If you are very lucky, you might even witness what I call a “shadow caster,” a meteor so bright that it casts flickering shadows across the ground. Perseid meteors can be seen in all parts of the sky, but their trails will all point back toward the constellation of Perseus, rising in our northeastern sky after midnight. You will always see the most meteors between midnight and dawn because that’s when the spinning Earth has you facing the direction from which the meteors are streaming, like looking out of the front windshield of a moving car as snowflakes stream past. Perseid meteor watching makes a great family activity. Take the kids and find a nice, dark location, roll out the sleeping bags and watch for “St. Lawrence’s Tears.”

Burrow stays with GOAL Academy Teacher had considered return to Moffat County High School By LAUREN BLAIR DAILY PRESS WRITER
CRAIG — Despite a new director and some changes in its staff lineup for the coming school year, GOAL Academy students will be greeted with mostly familiar faces, including that of Annette Burrow (formerly Annette McCurdy). Burrow initially resigned from GOAL, accepting a position with Moffat County School District, only to change her mind and go back to GOAL under a different role. She was the GOAL education zone director for three years, but then left GOAL earlier this summer to return to Moffat County School District as an alternative school and Advanced Placement study hall teacher for the 2015-16 school year. When Burrow resigned, Nick Cocozzella, who came to Craig as a life coach for GOAL last year, took over as the education zone director. Burrow’s planned return to the school district was cause for excitement for MCSD administrators, who hoped she would bring students back to the district. “That’s who we look to hire is kid-magnets and people with good personalities that can make good relationships with students,” said Moffat County High School Principal Kelly McCormick. “That’s one of the reasons I wanted to get her back up here working with Moffat County High School.” Burrow started the Craig chapter of GOAL Academy, an online public high school, three years ago when she was offered an academic coaching position. She left her previous position as para-educator and teacher for the MCHS alternative program when administrators offered the lead teaching position to someone else. When she left, 76 students from the high school followed her to GOAL, Burrow said. “If I hadn’t started it, I still don’t think GOAL Academy would be in Craig,” she said. “I love GOAL Academy, it was hard to think about leaving it. But I also love MCHS — I graduated from there.” When Burrow discovered that a statewide math teacher position was available with GOAL after she had submitted her resignation this summer, she applied for the position and decided it was a better fit personally and professionally than the MCHS position. “I was just wanting out of the administrative role and back into the teacher’s role because I missed working with the stu-

dents,” Burrow said. “I had really limited time to help the kids and that’s where my passion is.” As math competency specialist, Burrow will be teaching about 1,200 students in three math courses statewide, though she will remain based in the Craig office. Relations between GOAL and the school district remain good, she said. “It’s not whether they go up there or down here, it’s what’s best for the kids,” Burrow said. “Kelly (McCormick) and Brent (Curtice) are about what’s best for the kids, so we’re all on the same page.” Burrow works with Curtice and McCormick through Moffat County Global, a collaborative organization formed last year that brings together representatives from local education organizations including the school district, GOAL Academy and the Northwest Colorado Homeschool Association. GOAL students are able to enroll in up to two classes per year at the high school in subjects not offered through GOAL, such AP classes, band or other extracurriculars, and are also able to participate in sports. It’s all about meeting students where they’re at, Cocozzella said, who’s excited for the year ahead. “I have some really big shoes to fill because Annette was exceptional at her job,” Cocozzella said. “I have more of a technological background, so I will utilize the technology we have to make things easier on students and on staff.” Cocozzella also has a background in music — he was a nationally touring musician before entering the education field — and has put his recording gear and musical talents to use by creating a well-received
music program for GOAL students. With the first day of school for GOAL students less than two weeks away, Cocozzella is busy getting students enrolled, recently completed his own music video for GOAL. “For me, I just have so much love for these kids,” he said.

1st annual garden walk, luncheon set for Saturday Craig chapter of Philanthropic Educational Organization to raise money for scholarship fund BY DEREK MAIOLO
Garden Tour homes
DAILY PRESS WRITER
CRAIG — The Craig chapter of the Philanthropic Educational Organization, PEO, will host its first garden walk and luncheon Saturday in order to raise money for its local scholarship fund. The self-guided tour will take participants through five local residents’ yards and gardens as well as through the arboretum. Kathy Shirley, chapter president, is excited for the event that she said is the first of its kind for the PEO. “The gardens on our list are awesome,” she said.
Like us on Facebook for more news Participants can tour the gardens from 10 a.m. until noon. The luncheon begins at 11:30 a.m. at the Center of Craig and will include food made by PEO members. “It’s going to be great fun,” Kathy said. She hopes the money raised by the event — as well as the money raised during the annual Holiday Home Tour in the winter — will allow the orga-

nization to give two college scholarships to young women in Moffat County. PEO gave out its first scholarship this spring to Hannah Beckett who will be attending Colorado Mesa University in
the fall. Kathy hopes the $500 scholarship will give Hannah the ability to pursue the education and career of her choosing. Hannah also received various college essentials and gifts at a dorm party thrown by PEO members July 21. PEO has been around for nearly 100 years — it will celebrate its centennial next June. Since its establishment has brought women together to advance women’s rights and education. Nikki McLeslie, a local member, said that women helping women is an important concept. “It’s a way to build relationships and give back to the community,” she said.
PEO chapters span across the United States and Canada and include a wide variety of women each wanting to give back to their communities. Craig now has more than 40 members, and Kathy said that new members are always invited to join. Membership is not required to participate in the garden walk and luncheon. Tickets are for sale for $15 at the Craig Daily Press, Elk Run Inn or the Kitchen Shop. Tickets can also be purchased from Nikki at 970-629- 8817. Tickets must be purchased in advanced.

commercial growing operations. It would also limit the number of plants that can be privately grown to 12 per property.
On Thursday, the council will hold a public hearing for the ordinance during its regular meeting, which begins at 7:30 p.m. After the public hearing, the council could choose to take a final vote on the ordinance. Councilmember Dallas Robin-son is strongly opposed to the ordinance and was the

only council member to vote against it. “I live here, and I value the principals that are here,” Robinson said during the July 16 meeting. “I see kids that have moved back here to raise their kids because they knew it was safe near their parents, near their roots.” Other council members wanted to move the ordinance forward with the hopes of hearing more comments from the public during the public hearing. Mayor Jim Haskins on Tuesday said he did not know which way the vote would go. “It’s really hard for me to tell,” Haskins said.
Haskins said residents he has spoken to favor of the ordinance, but he has not decided how he will vote. “I want to hear what transpires Thursday,” Haskins said. “I don’t expect to hear anything that I haven’t heard before, but I still want to hear.” Hayden resident Rodney McGowen has proposed opening a grow operation in the Valley View Industrial Park in a building he owns, which has been underutilized. McGowen would then sell the marijuana to retail shops. The proposed ordinance does not allow for marijuana to be sold in retail shops.

CRAIG — Moffat County will conduct mosquito larva control daily through October. Due to the unusually high amount of rain this year, standing water is everywhere. This additional mosquito habitat makes it impractical to aerial spray before the end of June. Aerial spraying for broad area adult mosquitoes took place June 30 through July 3 in the city of Craig and surrounding county areas. Spraying times will be on a weather-permitting basis, early morning or early evening. County crews treat the golf
course from 9 p.m. to midnight Monday through Friday. Loudy-Simpson Park is treated at the conclusion of each treatment schedule. Adult and larva work is conducted at Shadow Mountain and Maybell on an as-needed basis. While the department tries to treat Loudy-Simpson Park and the golf course during times when people aren’t present, if you do notice the department spraying in the area, avoid coming into contact with the spray. Special events and circumstances occasionally alter schedules.

AmeriGas cook-off event crashes. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration crowns local champs The inaugural AmeriGas Barbecue Cook-Off featured two Northwest Colorado teams cooking up a storm Saturday at the Moffat County Fairgrounds. Smokin’ J’s BBQ were the Overall Grand Champions, taking home a $450 payout, as well as Judge’s Choice trophies in chicken, ribs and pork. The Steamboat Springs-based team also received Reserve Overall People’s Choice and People’s Choice for chicken. Craig’s Ly, Steel-N-Smoke won the People’s Choice Overall Grand Champion, as well as People’s Choice in ribs, brisket, and pork. They were also the Judge’s Choice winners in brisket. The group donated its $225 winnings as Reserve Overall Grand Champion back to organizers for next year’s competition, for which AmeriGas representative Vickie Runnion said she is grateful. “We would also like to thank all those who helped keep everything running and the Judges who did such a great job,” she said. “Also, thank you to everyone who stopped by and voted for the People’s Choice. We look forward to seeing all of you next year.”
CDOT urges awareness of motorcycle season According to preliminary data from the Colorado Department of Transportation, 40 motorcyclists lost their lives during the first half of 2015 and 90 motorcyclists were killed in 2014; 97 percent were males. Nationally, per vehicle mile traveled, motorcyclist fatalities occurred 26 times more frequently than passenger car occupants in a traffic crash. “The riding season is still going strong, so we ask everyone to be careful, including the motorcycle riders themselves,” Sam Cole, a public relations official for CDOT, said in a statement. “We’ve already seen 40 deaths this year, that’s 40 deaths too many.” Motorcyclists make up just three percent of vehicles on the road but account for 18 percent of overall fatalities. These fatalities tend to peak during the summer months when more motorcycles are on the road. CDOT’s campaign raises awareness, urging drivers to use extra caution. “Looking twice helps ensure drivers see motorcyclists,” Cole said. Head injury is the leading cause of death in motorcycle
estimates that 1,630 lives were saved in 2013 because of proper helmet usage, and another 715 lives could have been saved if helmets had been worn. Colorado does not require motorcyclists to wear helmets. CDOT offers the following tips to drivers on how to prevent a fatal crash with a motorcycle. ■ Always allow more follow distance — three to four seconds — when behind a motorcycle. This gives them more time to maneuver or stop in an emergency. ■ Though a motorcycle is a small vehicle, its operator still has all the rights of the road as any other motorist. Allow the motorcycle the full width of a lane at all times. ■ Check all mirrors and blind spots for motorcycles before changing lanes or merging with traffic, especially at intersections. ■ Never drive distracted or impaired.

Instructors will demonstrate gutting and gutless methods of field processing, deboning, quartering, the best cuts for table fare and suggestions for transporting the meat out of the field. Additional topics will include techniques for skinning with taxidermy in mind. “If you are planning to mount your harvest, knowing how to skin the animal properly is critical, so that the taxidermist can have a properly prepared hide to work with,” Severin said. The seminar is offered through the agency’s Hunter Outreach Program. Colorado hunting regulations require that all big game animals be prepared for human consumption as soon as possible after being killed.

Victim’s dad tells Holmes jury of devastating loss By SADIE GURMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CENTENNIAL — Jurors struggled to hold back tears Tuesday as a grieving father described how he returns now and then to the Colorado theater where his son was murdered. Tom Sullivan’s voice wavered as he described how his family looks for the very spot where his son Alex was killed while celebrating his 27th birthday and first wedding anniversary. “We go up and we sit in Alex’s row, and we’re sitting in row 12,
and we leave seat 12 open for Alex,” Sullivan said. “We sit next to him.” District Attorney George Brauchler said such testimony reinforces that death is “the only appropriate sentence” for murdering 12 people and trying to kill 70 others at the premiere of a Batman movie three years ago. Defense attorney Rebekka Higgs’ voice cracked as she insisted the crimes were caused by the psychotic breakdown of a mentally ill young man. She said life without parole is the morally appropriate response,

and warned the jurors that “each of you will have to live with your decision for the rest of your lives.” “We will ask that you not answer death with death,” Higgs said. Tom Sullivan had shared his grief in public before, three years ago, when he begged a group of reporters for help as he frantically tried to find his son in the aftermath of the attack. A news photo captured his trauma, becoming one of the searing images many remember from that day. “I said, I can’t find him, I said, I don’t know where he is, I said, can you please help me ... It’s his birthday, for God’s sakes,” Sullivan recalled on the witness stand. One juror dabbed her eyes and another squinted hard, fighting back tears. Other survivors included Amanda Medek, who testified that she still can’t enter a movie theater. She recalled frantically searching hospitals before officers appeared at her parent’s home with a picture of her little sister, Micayla. “All I remember is my knees buckling and slamming into the concrete floor,” she said. Micayla was “filled with
love,” she said. “Kind, sweet, innocent. She was a kid. She was just about to be a college kid. She was young. She was never in love. She never got to have a family.” Mary Theresa Hoover glared briefly at Holmes as she took the stand, and then recalled how her 18-year-old son, A.J. Boik, had planned to start art school. A.J.’s brother is grieving quietly, she said. “I am now a single mother of one child,” she said. “I have lost half of what I was put on this Earth to do.” Hoover, her surviving son and A.J.’s girlfriend later hugged Brauchler and thanked him for letting her tell their story. The defense declined to question any of these survivors, and Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr., told jurors not to be swayed by the emotional nature of their highly charged testimony. “Your decision must reflect your individual reasoned moral judgment,” he repeated. The same jurors who will decide whether Holmes gets life without parole or a lethal injection already rejected his insanity plea. Brauchler said their final deliberations may begin as early

as today. Even one juror’s objection to capital punishment will mean life without parole, the judge said, but any mercy or sympathy for Holmes must be based on the evidence. On the other hand, “no juror may make a decision for the death penalty unless the juror is convinced without a reasonable doubt that death is the appropriate sentence,” the judge said. Holmes had been a promising scholar in a demanding neuroscience Ph.D. program at the University of Colorado until his life went awry amid the pressures of laboratory work. He broke up with his first and only girlfriend and dropped out of school while amassing an arsenal of weapons and describing his plans for mass murder in a secret journal. He self-diagnosed a litany of mental problems, and wrote that he tried to fix his brain, but failed. Then, he stood before a capacity crowd of more than 400 people and opened fire.

Clinton’s topics of campaign stop in Denver includes women’s health

DENVER — Hillary Clinton on Tuesday repeatedly slammed Jeb Bush and the rest of the
Republican presidential field about immigration and women’s health during a campaign stop in Denver. Bush is more dovish than the rest of the Republican presidential field and supports legal status for millions of people in the country illegally. But Clinton contended that Bush, the former Florida governor, backed policies that would break up families and put them at risk for deportation, and noted that he, like almost all of the rest of the GOP field, refuses to back citizenship for immigrants in the country illegally. “I will fight for comprehensive immigration reform with a path to full and equal citizenship,” Clinton said. “There is no place in the United States for second-class citizenship.” Clinton also criticized Bush for questioning the amount the federal government spends on women’s health during a forum earlier Tuesday. His campaign later said he was actually arguing the federal government should use the money it gives to Planned Parenthood elsewhere. Clinton, running for the Democratic presidential nomination, said that was just as

bad — and noted that the entire GOP field agrees with Bush. “When you attack Planned Parenthood, you attack women’s health, and when you attack women’s health, you attack America’s health,” Clinton said to cheers from hundreds of Democrats crowded into a small Denver nightclub. Sounding hoarse but feisty, Clinton ripped into the GOP, comparing herself to fictional Los Angeles police Sgt. Joe Friday from the TV show “Dragnet” and promising to give “just the facts.” She called the Monday night New Hampshire forum where 14 of the Republican presidential candidates spoke “a recitation of out-of-date, out-of-touch policies.” Clinton’s appearance was sandwiched between three fundraisers in Aspen, Denver and its suburbs.

VA officials: Benefit waiting lists significantly shorter
Newmont closes $820M purchase of gold mine COLORADO SPRINGS — Colorado-based Newmont Mining Corp. has completed its $820 million purchase of the state’s largest gold mine. The Gazette in Colorado Springs reported Newmont announced Monday that it had closed the deal with South Africa’s AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. Newmont is based in the Denver suburb of Greenwood Village and is one of the world’s largest gold producers. The agreement includes a 2.5 percent royalty on gold production from underground mining. Newmont will keep the mine’s current employees and management, and officials said they will continue a $585 million expansion of the mine that is already under way. Newmont financed the purchase through a major stock sale. This is the company’s first Colorado gold mine since it closed the Idarado mine near Telluride in 1978.
Durango city council: We’re not sanctuary city DURANGO — The Durango City Council is hoping to clarify that Durango is not a sanctuary city and it never has been, despite its listing on a

website as a municipality that shelters undocumented immigrants. The Durango Herald reported the council would consider a resolution Tuesday to take an exact position on the issue. Durango’s stance on immigration law has recently been questioned after the town was listed by the website, sanctuary cities.info, as a safe haven for those who are in the country without proper documentation. City Manager Ron LeBlanc has asked for Durango to be taken off the website, but a site manager refused. The City Council addressed the issue before in a 2004 resolution, and LeBlanc said the “misunderstanding” needs to be made clear.
Racer killed in Mount Crested Butte crash VAIL — The mountain biking community is mourning the loss of a Colorado cyclist who died after crashing during a race in Mount Crested Butte. The Vail Daily reported 40-year-old Will Olson, of Edwards, died Saturday during the Colorado stop of the Enduro World Series, causing race organizers to suspend Sunday’s events. Instead, racers took a ride in honor of Olson. Police said two racers found Olson lying face down near the finish line and performed CPR. A paramedic arrived by helicopter and pronounced Olson dead. He apparently died of blunt force trauma to the chest. Olson is originally from Scappoose, Oregon. He planned to miss the rest of the World Series because he was moving to Burlington, Vermont to be with his fiancee.

Shindler was pronounced dead by a coroner’s office official.
Anheuser-Busch sheds distributorships LOUISVILLE, KY. — The world’s largest brewer has shed its two distributorships in Kentucky after the state legislature passed a law banning them from owning one. Anheuser-Busch said it purchased American Eagle Distributing in Loveland and has transferred its distributorships in Louisville and Owensboro to the Texas-based Standard Sales Company. In return, Standard Sales transferred three distributorships to American Eagle Distributing. Anheuser-Busch Vice President Bob Tallett said the transfer was the best path forward for its 200 employees in Kentucky. Standard Sales President and CEO Lanny Layman said he is eager to meet the Kentucky employees and grow his business there.
Anheuser-Busch has owned its Louisville distributorship since 1978. Last year, it alarmed independent brewers when it purchased a second distributor in Owensboro. The state legislature responded by banning brewers from owning distributors.

GOLDEN — Department of Veterans Affairs officials said they have significantly reduced the number of veterans still waiting for benefit decisions. The Denver Post reported officials at a Monday news conference in Golden announced that the number of pending disability claims for Colorado veterans is less than 7,500. At its peak, there were more than 13,000 pending claims in November 2012. Officials said the number of veterans with claims pending longer than one year has been cut by 85 percent in two years. Denver regional director of the Veterans Benefits Administration Renaye Murphy said regional VA offices are still working to complete veterans’ appeals in a timely manner. Officials said nationally the backlog of veterans waiting for benefits decisions number about 110,000, down from 611,000 in March 2013.

Wildfire wreaks havoc on vacation spot By JANIE HAR and KRISTIN J. BENDER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIDDLETOWN, CALIF. — A predictable but painful summertime ritual played out in half a dozen resort communities near California’s largest freshwater lake Tuesday as an erratic, weekold wildfire that has wiped out dozens of buildings continued to threaten nearly 7,000 more. As firefighters and equipment from outside the state poured in to battle the blaze burning 10 miles from Clear Lake, more than 13,000 people were required or urged to leave their homes, vacation cabins and campsites in the latest fireprone region to find itself under siege. “This never gets easier,” said Gina Powers, who with her husband and cats Sunday night fled the Spring Valley home she has evacuated before in the more than two decades she has lived there. “This time it was scarier.” State and federal fire officials said the stubborn fire had consumed more than 101 square miles by Tuesday morning after flames jumped a highway
in several places. It remained 12 percent contained and was not expected to be corralled until at least Monday. The fire, by far the largest of 11 burning in Northern California today, started on July 29 in drought-withered brush that has not burned in years in the Lower Lake area, about 100 miles north of San Francisco. A cause has not been determined. The National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho, has the wildfire listed as the nation’s highest priority for crews and equipment even as potentially destructive blazes burned in Oregon and Washington, spokesman Mike Ferris said. Ferris called the fire “one big monster.” “In Northern California alone, all their resources are committed, and they are having to go outside the geographic area to get resources, whether it’s aircraft or firefighters,” Ferris said. With more than 3,000 firefighters battling the smoky blaze and evacuees seeking shelter, motels were booked up for days within miles.

GOP presidential debate field set By STEVE PEOPLES THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND — Billionaire businessman Donald Trump has scored the top spot for Thursday night’s leadoff debate of the 2016 presidential race, joined by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and seven other Republican contenders who made the campaign’s first cut. Seven others will be excluded, including former technology executive Carly Fiorina and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, relegated to a pre-debate forum and second-tier status in the party’s crowded field. Fox News announced the 10 GOP White House hopefuls who will take part in the primetime debate in the crucial swing state of Ohio. Beyond Trump, those selected among the top 10 — based on recent national polls — include Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
Those who didn’t make the field for the first debate include Fiorina, the GOP’s only female presidential candidate, Perry, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, former New York Gov. George Pataki and former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore. The announcement concludes an anxiety-filled process for a Republican Party that worked aggressively to improve its debates ahead of the election season. Yet with the largest field of contenders in modern memory, organizers said something had to give to ensure the debate in Cleveland didn’t turn into a nationally televised circus. “We never ever envisioned we’d have 17 major candidates,” said Steve Duprey, New Hampshire’s representative to the Republican National Committee who helped craft the debate plan. “There’s no perfect solution.” Republican officials worked closely with TV executives, although the networks have the final say about which candidates will be allowed on stage for their televised events. Fox News is the host of Thursday’s event, the first of six party-sanctioned debates

Despite rhetoric, border security less urgent in 2015 By SETH ROBBINS ALICIA CALDWELL
and
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN ANTONIO — In the weeks leading up to Thursday’s first debate of the 2016 presidential race, Republican candidates have sought to distinguish themselves from each other — and President Barack Obama — with ever-tougher positions on border security and illegal immigration, claiming current measures are failing. And yet by many standards, the situation is not nearly as urgent as it was during last summer’s crisis and has improved steadily and markedly in some respects throughout the past decade or so — partly because of actions taken by the U.S. government, but also because of factors beyond Washington’s control. Last year’s alarming surge of unaccompanied children and families arriving from Central America via Mexico has been cut by about half, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, a drop-off attributed in part to a crackdown by
Mexico and better enforcement along the U.S. border. Also, illegal immigration from Mexico has plunged dramatically since 2000, when Border Patrol agents arrested roughly 1.6 million Mexicans. Last year, agents stopped about 230,000. In addition, since 2007, about 1 million Mexicans living illegally in this country have left, according to Marc Rosenblum, deputy director of the U.S. immigration policy program at the Migration Policy Institute in Washington. Those trends have been attributed to a variety of factors, including the overall sluggish economy in the U.S., the decline in this country’s construction industry, and better opportunities in Mexico, according to a report by Rogelio Saenz, dean of the College of Public Policy at the University of Texas at San Antonio. “The urgency is gone on the U.S.-Mexico border,” said Adam Isacson, border security analyst for the Washington Office on Latin America, a think tank.

Tesla Motors reports its second-quarter financial results today. The electric car maker said last month that its deliveries surged 52 percent during the quarter to more than 11,000 vehicles. Tesla makes only one car, the Model S sedan. Investors will be listening for an update on when the company will begin delivering its Model X SUV. Tesla began taking reservations for the Model X earlier this year.
Economists anticipate that the nation’s trade deficit widened in June to $42.8 billion. That would represent the second monthly increase in a row. The trade gap increased slightly in May, reflecting declines in sales of American-made aircraft and machinery as exports continued to suffer from a strong dollar. The Commerce Department reports its latest tally of the nation’s trade gap today.

Almost 80 percent of the companies in the S&P 500 have now reported their second-quarter earnings, and average earnings for companies in the index are set to fall 0.2 percent. If earnings do end lower the quarter lower, once all companies have reported, it would be the first quarter in almost six years that corporations have failed to grow their profits.

BASKING SEA SHARKS
By CHRIS GINGRICH FOR THE CRAIG DAILY PRESS
Last week I hit you with a few players who in their second years are poised for a breakout season. This week I’m coming at you with more players I think could have breakout seasons. Now, they might not be just secondyear players, just players who could have Chris Gingrich tremendous seasons on hand due to their big opportunities. Joseph Randle, running back, Dallas Cowboys — Dallas had the second best run blocking offense in the league last year. Randle will have ample room to run wild with this offensive line they’re packing this season. Darren McFadden is always an injury away from the disabled list, so Randle also has that going for him. It’s an ideal situation for Randle, who was behind Demarco Murray last year and now with Murray gone to Philadelphia, it has opened up room for Randle who just has to beat out the oft-injured Darren McFadden. Deandre Hopkins, wide receiver, Houston Texans — The departure of Andre Johnson only helps Hopkins’ case to break out. Hopkins will take over in Johnson’s place, which means plenty of targets and likely a high amount of receptions. He could be on target for finishing in the top 10 of his position this year. He is being picked No. 16 overall at wide receiver so far this drafting season. Latavius Murray, running back, Oakland Raiders — Murray is still a somewhat unproven commodity except for the two-touchdown game last year against Kansas City. The Raiders added Roy Helu, Jr. and Trent Richardson in the off-season, but it’s Murray who has his foothold in the top spot on the depth chart. See GINGRICH on page 18A

Mariners beat Rockies, 10-4 Pitcher John Gray’s major league debut fizzles with defeat By MICHAEL KELLY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Nelson Cruz homered for the fifth consecutive game, and the Seattle Mariners spoiled Jon Gray’s major league debut with a 10-4 victory against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday. It is the second time this sea-
son Cruz has gone deep in five straight games. He also singled to extend his hitting streak to 15 games. Gray, the third overall pick in the 2013 draft, had a rough beginning to his big league career. Seattle touched him for two runs during a 33-pitch first inning.
He allowed an unearned run in the fourth on two singles and an error that gave the Mariners a 3-1 lead. Gray’s teammates rallied to keep him out of the loss column. Charlie Blackmon’s homer in the first, the 10th leadoff blast of his career, made it 2-1, and Nick Hundley
hit a two-run shot to tie it at 3 in the fourth. Gray allowed three runs — two earned — and five hits, striking out four in four innings. Seattle went ahead for good on Franklin Gutierrez’s tworun, pinch-hit single in the sixth See ROCKIES on page 18A

ENGLEWOOD — Emmanuel Sanders is so wired to win that he considers his competitive streak both a blessing and a burden. Sure, it helped him make the Pro Bowl for the first time in 2014, but the Denver Broncos’ speedy wide receiver said he usually can’t dial it down enough to enjoy a friendly video game or a round of poker. “Sometimes I hate that I’m so competitive,” he said. “But it ended up paying off when it comes to playing a sport.” Sanders was so eager to impress his new team and build a rapport with Peyton Manning last year that he overdid it, strained a quad and missed much of training camp. Then he went out and had a career year with 101 receptions for 1,404 yards and nine TDs. Asked about teammate and fellow Pro Bowler Demaryius Thomas’s stated goal of breaking Calvin Johnson’s receiving record of 1,964 yards this season, Sanders smiled and pushed in all his chips. “I want to be the best wide receiver in the National Football League this year,” Sanders declared. “That’s my goal.”
It’s clear that Sanders wasn’t in John Elway’s crosshairs when Denver’s general manager, in parting ways with coach John Fox last winter, lamented the Broncos’ failure to go down “kicking and screaming” in the playoffs. “I think that that’s my mindset, regardless,” Sanders said. “So it’s not one of those things where I have to turn my engine on just to hear that. That’s me. Every play, I want to give it my all, whether it’s blocking, whether it’s catching a pass, whether it’s doing whatever I got to do, I love doing it. I’m competitive as all outdoors.” Sanders capitalized on Wes Welker’s departure and Thomas’s absence from the offseason program in a contract stalemate to build a better rapport with his quarterback and become more of a locker room leader, tutoring young receivers such as Cody Latimer and Isaiah Burse. “First off, you wish Demaryius (had been) out there,” coach Gary Kubiak said. “But yeah, he’s got a lot of guys looking at him and he’s a hard worker. He pushes himself, makes a great play at the end of practice, made a great play on the fourth-and-4 drill that we had going. But I’m very impressed with him. He loves
“I want to be the best wide receiver in the National Football League this year. That’s my goal.” Emmanuel Sanders Broncos player
to play, has a lot of fun out here. He’s got a lot of confidence, which good players do.” And a competitive streak to match.
Kicking it The Broncos had to carry kickoff specialist Brandon McManus last year when they made the switch to Connor Barth for field goals. They’re hoping to keep just one punter (Britton Colquitt or Karl Schmitz) and one kicker this season, with either of them also handling kickoffs. Barth, who made 15 of 16 field goals last year but was 0 for 8 on touchbacks before the Broncos brought back McManus to handle kickoffs, said he spent his offseason working with kicking coach Dan Orner in Charlotte, North Carolina, to get more oomph on his kickoffs. “He’s working at it,” special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis said. “He’s going to have to.” Barth is just 11 of 164 on touchbacks in his career.

GINGRICH: Look for Matthews FROM PAGE 17A
Murray’s speed and size are perfect for a three down running back, so look for him to have some more opportunity to showcase that talent this season. He is currently being drafted 41st overall among all players being drafted. Jordan Matthews, wide
receiver, Philadelphia Eagles — He was not consistent as a rookie, although he did put up 872 yards and eight touchdowns in a Chip Kelly offense. Jeremy Maclin is now gone which opens up a door for Matthews to improve on last year’s numbers. Look for him to become a solid No. 2 wide receiver this year.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Letting someone else make financial decisions for you will backfire. You owe it to yourself to stay in control of your personal monetary matters. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Your heightened emotional state will lead to an impulsive response. Consider the possible repercussions before you say something hurtful. Wait until you feel less stressed to respond. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Be cautious around people who are acting unreasonable. This is a great day to work on a solitary project or find an enjoyable activity away from divisive situations.

Child uncomfortable entertaining Dear Annie: Whenever I’m at my parents’ house and they have guests, they expect me to “perform.” I don’t mean playing the piano or tap dancing. I mean ANNIE’S they insist I MAILBOX “tell them that story you told me.” Any story they select. I feel I’m being treated as some kind of circus freak. This makes me very uncomfortable, and they know it because I’ve told them. Kathy and Marcy They always promise not to do it again, but then they always do. They can be incredibly selfish. My mother doesn’t want me to speak at family dinners, and lets my siblings bulldoze over everyone. I hated this when I was a kid and still do. Now, whenever she tells people, “Tell them what you told me,” I will say, “I think that story isn’t appropriate for now, if you know what I mean.” Am I being unreasonable? Did I also mention my parents interrogate me about my job and then tell me I’m doing it all wrong? We have fights about what I wear to work. The last time, they told me to
wear a shirt and tie to a job where I get my hands dirty. And they did it in front of my extended family. What do I do? — New Jersey Son Dear New Jersey: You learn to accept your parents as they are, and then set boundaries that will allow you to be less upset. Your folks apparently think you are a terrific storyteller, but you do not have to oblige. When they ask you to relate something, it’s fine to say, “Not right now,” and then change the subject. A useful skill is to do so while being polite, even smiling. Never lose your temper. Repeat as often as necessary and take your leave if they won’t let up. Save your conversation for friends who appreciate it instead of siblings who talk over everyone. Some parents are notorious for criticizing their children’s choices in everything. Most children figure out how to evaluate what has merit and then ignore the rest, nodding politely instead of arguing. We suggest you practice. Dear Annie: I would like to respond to “At a Loss in Ohio,” whose brother died and she received no condolences from anyone in her boyfriend’s family, including his children, nor any of his friends. Why would you give people who behave poorly a pass by saying she should forgive them?
She wasn’t asking them to mourn her brother, so whether they knew him is irrelevant. She was looking for emotional support to help soften the sharp edges of the pain. Isn’t that what family and friends do for each other? Their indifference to her pain is inexcusable and she owes them nothing more. She has every right to feel angry and resentful. — Call a Spade a Spade Dear Call: We agree these people behaved terribly and said so. But finding forgiveness is for her, not them. She needs to let these people know how disappointed she was in their lack of condolences, but she also needs to find a way to let it go or it will poison her relationship with her boyfriend. We should not be so focused on holding onto hurt and anger that we lose track of the other things that matter.

Debate illustrates power of Fox News Search on for shooter outside concert By DAVID BAUDER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Iowa and New Hampshire are still on the horizon — but first there’s the Fox primary, and the buildup to this week’s first Republican presidential debate shows the influence of Fox News Channel on the GOP selection process is stronger than ever. The musical chairs-like rules for participation in Thursday’s televised debate require candidates to reach a certain threshold in opinion polls, making national exposure to an interested audience vital at a stage in the campaign when candidates are usually shaking hands in early primary states. And where better to find that audience than on Fox News Channel? The 17 candidates made a total of 273 separate appearances on Fox News in May, June and July, according to a count by liberal-leaning group Media Matters for America. Six hopefuls — Donald Trump, Rand Paul, Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal, Carly Fiorina and Rick Perry — have appeared 20 times or more each on Fox or Fox Business Channel, the network said. Besides interviews, candidates have joined
the panel of talk shows like “Outnumbered” or “The Five.” “It is the most important forum for a Republican running for president,” said Matthew Dowd, chief strategist for President George W. Bush’s 2004 campaign and now an ABC News analyst. Fox was to determine after 3 p.m. MDT on Tuesday which 10 of the 17 declared Republican candidates will be on stage for Thursday’s primetime debate in Cleveland. The remaining candidates will be included in a secondary forum that starts four hours earlier. Trump, who is leading in the polls, leads in time spent on Fox (just under five hours, Media Matters said). Sean Hannity’s prime-time show, which hosted Trump, Ted Cruz and Chris Christie one night last week, has offered the candidates twice as much airtime as any other individual show, Media Matters said. Part of the draw for candidates is the size of Fox’s audience: second only to sharkobsessed Discovery among cable networks in July and typically larger than that of CNN and MSNBC combined in prime time. And there’s the guaran-
tee of finding like-minded voters; 47 percent of voters who described themselves as “consistently conservative” said Fox was their main source of news about government and politics, according to a 2014 survey by the Pew Research Center. Of the people who watch Hannity’s show, 78 percent described themselves as conservative, according a 2012 Pew study. Sixty-five percent identified as Republican and 6 percent as Democrats. “With the number of candidates we have, the gatekeeper becomes more powerful,” Dowd said. “If there were only three or four candidates running, the power would be less.” That’s evident in the amount of attention paid to the rules for Thursday’s debate. With the largest field of contenders in modern memory, Fox argues setting a cap on the size of the prime-time debate is necessary for a coherent event, yet some experts think a failure to be included in the first tier could itself deal a death blow to a candidacy. Republican pollster Frank Luntz told the AP last month that “if you’re not on that stage, you’re irrelevant, you don’t matter.”
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOLMDEL, N.J. — State police on Tuesday were looking for a suspect and witnesses to a shooting that wounded two men outside a Big Sean and J. Cole concert. The shooting happened late Monday in the PNC Bank Arts Center parking lot, causing panic among the crowd attending the hip-hop show. State troopers using K-9 units and a helicopter scoured a wooded area near the Holmdel amphitheater, but no arrests had been made as of early Tuesday night. A $5,000 reward was being offered for information leading to the shooter’s arrest. State police said the victims, identified only as 23and 24-year-old residents of Neptune, were both shot multiple times. They were hospitalized in critical but stable condition, but further details on their injuries were not disclosed.
Eighteen-year-old Omayma Bougdour told the Daily News that gunfire began after an argument. She said “everyone started sprinting and stampeding.” One of the men was “not responsive,” and the other was breathing heavily and begging for a drink of water, she said. Another witness, Mike Lefanto, told the newspaper he was walking to his car with his 13-year-old daughter when he saw the two victims speaking to a woman in the parking lot, “talking about her body.” He said a man soon approached the victims and fired about seven shots. “He took those two dudes out right away,” Lefanto said. “It looked like he knew what he was doing.” Big Sean and J. Cole were performing at Madison Square Garden in New York on Tuesday.
