Bald Eagle Lake is home to some of the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club’s most intense training, with X Games and Olympic hopefuls throwing themselves down a wooden ramp into the cool waters. It was unanimous Thursday, however: Even as ESPN-featured skiers flipped through the air, the most amazing lake performance came from a gray-haired woman without a right leg. Pat Williamson lost her right leg below the knee five years ago. She learned to ride an outrigger water ski three years ago, and she became more comfortable with it last year. This year, she ditched the outriggers all together and started holding on to the rope herself, swapping a comfortable ride behind a boat for a whole new level of skiing. “The coolest thing I’ve seen is Pat,” Adaptive Adventures cofounder Matt Feeney said. Two years ago, we had to talk her into going at all. This year, she got rid of the outriggers, which are like the training wheels.” Williamson may have earned her share of the spotlight, but there was no shortage of inspirational moments Wednesday and Thursday as the Behind the Boat water skiing and wakeboarding camp returned to Steamboat Springs for the fourth year. The camp is a collaboration between Steamboat’s Access Anything founders, Craig and Andrea Kennedy, and Adaptive Adventures, a larger organization. It relies heavily on local sponsors such as Ed MacArthur, of Native Excavating, who donated access See Camp, page 11

Nathan Meeker and the Northern Utes

��

ost residents of Northwest Colorado would tell you they know something about Nathan C. Meeker, the ill-suited Indian agent who played a pivotal role in the bloody conflict that sealed the fate of the Northern Ute tribe. But most of us don’t know as much as we think we do. State Historian William Convery told a Steamboat audience Friday that Meeker was a mysterious person in many ways, a “paradox wrapped in an enigma.” For example, Meeker, who came west to Colorado in 1870 from his position as the agriculture editor of Horace Greeley’s widely read New York Tribune, preached temperance when it came to alcohol. And yet, he confessed in his own diaries that he was tormented by his hopeless addiction to over-the-counter opiates. Convery was speaking to about 80 people gathered for the Tread of Pioneers Museum’s weekly brown bag

lunch. He took the occasion to praise the programs of the Tread and the White River Museum in Meeker. Nathan Meeker, who previously had experimented with utopian communes, Convery said, used the newspaper, with Greeley’s blessing, to recruit struggling farmers and workers from upstate New York and Pennsylvania to travel west by railroad, where they would create a new settlement: the Union colony on the South Platte River. Today, of course, the settlement is known as the city of Greeley. Meeker, a frustrated novelist, was an abject failure at business management and was fired by the colonists.

Water losses puzzle Hayden Nearly 30 percent seems to be going to waste; town could increase utility rates Blythe Terrell

HAYDEN

On paper, it appears Hayden is losing about 29 percent of the water it produces each year. According to numbers from 2005 through 2008, the town is producing more water than residents are paying for. Hayden Town Council members discussed the problem at their meeting Thursday, as well as issues related to money shortfalls in the town’s sewer and water fund. They couldn’t come up with clear answers. Town Manager Russ Martin said Friday that he expected the town to increase water rates to combat the cash shortfall. Scott Price, the town’s water/wastewater plant operator, provided graphs and figures relating to the possible water losses at the Thursday meeting. His research showed that there doesn’t appear to be a seasonal variation or a change in loss between high- and low-use periods. “There’s a lot of variables in there, and that’s kind of why we’ve got to look at the averages,” Price said.

Steamboat Motors sales consultant Luke Berlet talks about the features of a 2009 Jeep Liberty, which Berlet said qualifies for the Car Allowance Rebate System.

Friday afternoon. “Typically, whenever anybody rolls out any kind of program, it’s a few weeks when the program is in the marketplace before you see people coming in,” he said. As people get details, interest probably will pick up, Steinke said. “Obviously, we’re going to be out there with everybody,” he said. “There’s going to be so much information thrown out there over the next several months.” Congress put $1 billion into

the program. The Car Allowance Rebate System will run until Nov. 1 or until funds run dry, whichever comes first. The program is simple, Steinke said. People can enter the vehicle identification number of their car and the VIN of the one they’d like to buy and find out whether they qualify. Dealers give the discount and get reimbursed. Car sellers won’t accept rundown rust buckets, however. All See Cars, page 11

Car dealerships are ready to rev up the Car Allowance Rebate System, dubbed “Cash for Clunkers.” Congress approved the program in June, and President Barack Obama signed it June 24. Dealerships have been awaiting the official rules, however. Those came out Friday. Under the deal, some car owners can get $3,500 to $4,500 off the sticker price when they trade for a more efficient new ride. Their current car must be less than 25 years old, and most must get less than 18 miles per gallon of gas. Owners at Steamboat Motors and Cook Chevrolet, Jeep and Subaru said they’d heard from customers interested in the program.

City Market recalls beef Tainted meat sickens 2 with salmonella in Routt County Zach Fridell

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

King Soopers and City Market have recalled 466,236 pounds of ground beef linked to 14 cases of salmonella in Colorado, including two confirmed cases in Routt County. Kroger owns the companies. The stores sent an automated call Thursday to consumers who purchased the tainted meat and have a phone number on file with their shopper’s card. The message said shoppers should not consume the meat and may return the meat or a receipt to the store for a full refund or exchange. “Six people have been hospitalized; all are recovering. Individuals became ill between June 13 and June 28 and report purchasing their meat between June 1 and June 14,” according to the news release from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

From the state The Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment said this week that products being recalled were produced on various dates ranging from May 23 through June 13 and have the establishment number EST. 6250 on packages. The recalled products are: ■ 1-pound chubs of (93/7) ground beef, package case code 69558, use by/sell by dates between 05/31/09 and 06/21/09 ■ Tray packs have a use by/sell by date between 06/02/09 and 06/23/09 and include the following: ■ 1 to 1.25-lb. tray packs of (96/4) ground beef, package case code 67164 ■ 1 to 1.25-lb. tray packs of (96/4)

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced that there is no reason to think the contaminated products still are for sale, but it encourages consumers to check beef purchased during that time. Ilanit Kateb, director of public health for the Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association, said the VNA is aware of the two confirmed cases but

that “there’s really not much going on” because the case has not prompted a response from the public health agency. Kateb said anyone concerned about salmonella can call the VNA at 879-1632. King Soopers has set up a hot line at 1-800-632-6900 for consumers. Consumers are encouraged to cook meat to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

If state Sen. Josh Penry, RGrand Junction, conveyed one message to 14 local residents who gathered Friday to hear him speak, it was that he wants to bring the Republican Party back to its roots. “We don’t win by being Democrat-light,” he said about America’s political conservatives. “The truth is freedom is better, lower taxes are better and capitalism is better than socialism.” Penry, who at 33 is Senate minority leader in the Legislature, announced his candidacy for Colorado governor July 11 in Grand Junction and appeared for a brief campaign stop at the Holiday Inn of Craig before touring The Memorial Hospital construction site on the west side of town. Voters still have time to decide whether to support Penry, as the election is not until November 2010. The senator, who came to town alone without any aides or his campaign manager, addressed

a group of mostly self-described conservatives. Several questions addressed how Penry would govern differently than current political leaders, such as Gov. Bill Ritter. Al Cashion, who said he was a “recovering Republican” and now a Libertarian, wanted to know whether Penry would protect Colorado’s autonomy from the federal government or give in to more federal control to receive more recovery funds. “I look at all these things going on as whether they increase freedom,” Cashion said, referring to the federal recovery package, which gives extra funding to states but sometimes attaches requirements. “As you said, Republicans have lost their way. What would you do different?” Penry said he would work to turn back recovery funds if and when they came with restrictive strings attached. “The worst part of the stimulus bill is not the $1 trillion it puts on top of the $13 trillion of debt already there, it is the evisceration of the states’ ability to control their own budgets,” he

COMMENTARY

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

The Folly of Obamacare Jonah Goldberg

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

Let us for a moment adopt the proposition that health care is in fact a “right,” as pretty much every liberal politician has told us for at least a generation. Now let us consider how President Barack Obama’s proposed health care bill would work. Under his plan, an official body — staffed with government doctors, actuaries, economists and other Goldberg experts — will determine which health care treatments, procedures and remedies are cost-effective and which are not. Then it will decide which ones will get paid for, and which won’t. Would a 70-year-old woman be able to get a hip replacement, or would that not be considered a wise allocation

of resources? Would a 50-year-old man not be permitted an expensive test his doctor wants if the rules say the cheaper, less thorough one is sufficient? The Democrats call this “cost-controls.” But for the patient and the doctor, it’s plain old rationing. Now, imagine if the government had a body of experts charged with figuring out what your free-speech rights are, or right to assemble, or worship. Mr. Jones, you can say X and Y but not Z. Ms. Smith, you can freely assemble with Aleutians, Freemasons and carpenters, but you may not meet in public with anyone from Cleveland or of Albanian descent. Mrs. Wilson, you may pray to Vishnu and Crom, but never to Allah or Buddha, and when you do pray, you cannot do so for longer than 20 minutes at a time, unless it is one of several designated holidays. Please see Extended Prayer Form 10-22B. Of course, all of this would be ludi-

crous beyond words. Which is the whole point. Health care cannot be a right, because rights cannot come from government. At best, they can be protected by government. The founders understood this, which is why our Bill of Rights is really a list of restrictions on the government in Washington. “Congress shall make no law . . .” is how the First Amendment begins. Now, this isn’t to say the government can’t or shouldn’t provide health care to everyone. You have no right to a highway or sewer system, but there’s nothing wrong with government providing such things. Indeed, the Constitution says that government should promote the “general welfare.” And people of good will can argue whether or how much government-provided or subsidized health care fits under that mandate. See Goldberg, page 9

Terror creeps into the heartland Nicholas D. Kristof THE NEW YORK TIMES

KARACHI, PAKISTAN

It was the home of a Muslim religious teacher, but he was stockpiling more than copies of the Quran. His house blew up this month in a thunderous explosion that leveled much of his village and could be heard six miles away. Police reported that he was storing explosives, rockets, grenades and suicide vests. But perhaps what was most dispiriting was that this arsenal, apparently Kristof intended for terrorism attacks, was not in the tribal areas in the northwest of Pakistan where the Taliban and al-Qaida long have conducted operations. Rather this was in the southern part of Punjab, the Pakistani heartland.

MALLARD FILLMORE

The explosion was a reminder of what some call the “creeping Talibanization,” even of parts of Pakistan far from the formal fighting. Militants seem to be putting the entire country in play, and that’s one reason Pakistan should be President Barack Obama’s top foreign policy challenge. Think of it this way: It would be terrible if Afghanistan or Iraq collapsed, but it would be unthinkably catastrophic if Pakistan — with perhaps 80 to 100 nuclear weapons — were to fall into chaos. Even here in Karachi, the pragmatic commercial hub of the country, extremists have taken over some neighborhoods. A Pakistani police document marked “top secret,” given to me by a Pakistani concerned by the spreading tentacles of jihadis, states that Taliban agents sometimes set up armed checkpoints in one such neighborhood here.

These militants “generate funds through criminal activities such as kidnapping for ransom, bank robbery, street robbery and other heinous crimes,” the report says. The mayor of Karachi, Syed Mustafa Kamal, confirms that Pashtun tribesmen have barred outsiders from entering some neighborhoods. “I’m the mayor, and I have three vehicles with police traveling with me. And even I cannot enter these areas or they will blow me up,” Kamal said, adding, “Pakistan is in very critical condition.” Lala Hassan, of the Aurat Foundation, which works on social issues, said: “There’s no doubt militancy is increasing day by day, not only in Karachi but all over Pakistan.” On this trip, I also traveled in South Punjab and found it far more troubled than in my previous trips to the area.

60 percent think plan won’t help them Goldberg continued from 8 Historically, the American people are keen on any proposal that expands freedom and are skeptical about anything that constricts it. Generally, this means that advocates for every new program or policy — from welfare to gay marriage — try their darnedest to frame their case in terms of extending choice and freedom. Polling by the centrist think tank Third Way finds that the pivotal question for Americans is, “What’s in it for me?” And it seems President Obama hasn’t answered that to their satisfaction. Sixty percent of Americans think Obama’s health care plan will help someone other than them. Many liberals frequently confuse widespread support for “reform” with support for mas-

sive new government involvement in health care. But when concrete proposals come down the pike, the issue changes from hypothetical support for fixing the problem to, again, “What’s in it for me?” That’s why in his news conference Wednesday night, President Obama used very conservative, even free-market language to sell a program that actually still is premised on the leftwing nostrum that health care is a “right.” His plan will create “a marketplace that promotes choice and competition.” He’s in this to “control costs” and bring down the deficit. Now, Obama has come nowhere near meeting the burden of proof that the still inchoate and murky proposals in a still half-baked health care bill will do anything of the sort. Indeed, so far the more persua-

sive argument — backed up by the Congressional Budget Office and others — is that Obamacare will cost a lot of money. And the only way it can actually “save” money is by rationing care. But Obama understands that he cannot sell his health care reform in the language of the left. So, it’s a bait and switch. If anything, the overriding idea behind Obama’s approach seems to be to rush his “public plan” into law and expand its generosity over time. This is tribute a center-left president must pay to a center-right country. He’s in such a hurry because he senses Americans understand a bait and switch when they see one. On Monday he even proclaimed, “The time for talking is through.” In fact, it almost sounds like he actually does want to ration free speech, too.

Kristof continued from 8 The Daily Times of Pakistan described the situation as “terror’s free run in South Punjab.” But the militants may have overreached. Their brutality, including the flogging of a teenage girl before a large crowd, has shocked and alienated many Pakistanis. It is just possible that the tide is turning as a result. Unfortunately, the United States has acted in ways that often have empowered the militants. We have lavished more than $11 billion on Pakistan since 9/11, mostly supporting the Pakistani army. Yet that sum has bought Pakistan no security and us no good will. A poll of Pakistanis

released this month by WorldPublicOpinion.org found that 59 percent of Pakistanis said they share many of alQaida’s attitudes toward the United States, and almost half of those said that they support Qaida attacks on Americans. One reason is that America hasn’t stood up for its own values in Pakistan. Instead of supporting democracy, we cold-shouldered the lawyers’ movement, which was the best hope for democracy and civil society. If we want to stabilize Pakistan, we should take two steps. First is to cut tariffs on manufactured imports from Pakistan. That would boost the country’s economy, raise employment and create good will. Cutting tariffs perhaps

is the most effective step we could take to stabilize this country and fight extremism. Second, we should redirect our aid from subsidies to the Pakistani military to support for a major education initiative. In rural Pakistan, you regularly see madrassas established by Islamic fundamentalists, usually offering free tuition, free meals and even scholarships to study abroad for the best students. It’s clear that the militant fundamentalists believe in the transformative power of education — and they have invested in schools, while we have invested in the Pakistani army. Why can’t we show the same faith in education as hard-line Muslim fundamentalists?

“This year’s group skis a lot faster, and we have a bigger group,” said Kennedy, who made progress of his own by knocking off his first deep-water start. Although some of the skills demonstrated at the camp and the goals that campers show up with have changed, the sensations that bring them back every year haven’t. “All these people, having the support of everyone else, it just makes you less fearful — much less fearful,” Williamson said. “You learn that everyone is fearful, that everyone has to overcome that fear and push themselves to do better.”

to the lake, a boat and gas for the day; Shively Construction; and even the local VFW post, which donated food and its downtown gathering place for a Thursday night pizza party. The camp combined two days of adaptive skiing with a day of rafting on the Colorado River. A lot has changed in its four years, organizers said. Williamson’s story serves as a good example. She wasn’t into water sports at all before the head-on collision on Colorado Highway 131 that led to the loss of her leg in 2004. She recovered from four broken limbs, a monthlong coma, a staph infection and a hip replace-

ment. She first attended the camp in its second year, in 2007, and steadily has become more comfortable and more confident. “It doesn’t seem like big steps, but everyone is so nice. They just walk you through it, and it seems like the next thing to do,” Williamson said about her progress. “It gets easier as you get more experience. It’s just like (snow) skiing. If you don’t have the nerve, you aren’t going to do it.” Many of the 16 campers were repeat attenders, so like Williamson, they were past learning how to ski and were moving toward other water-based goals. Craig Kennedy said that helped make this year’s camp the best yet.

cars traded in must be running, and an owner must have owned them for a continuous year. Cook Chevrolet owner Scott Cook said people had been holding off, waiting to see whether their cars qualify for the trade-in deal. “I think we’ll get busier. … People might find out, ‘My car doesn’t qualify anyway, so I’m going to go ahead and buy that car I wanted,’” he said. The dealers can’t resell the cars. Doing so would defeat part of the purpose of the program, which is to get fuel-inefficient cars off the road. “This is a car stimulus, sure, but it’s also green,” Cook said. “They’re trying to get people out of cars that pollute more and use more gas to cars that pollute less

and use less gas.” Steinke said he had seen limited interest in the program. He did have a customer in Friday morning who probably would be able to trade an older Jeep for a new Jeep Liberty under the program. Because of stricter Environmental Protection Agency mileage standards, most new cars are more fuel-efficient than older counterparts, he said. Steinke said he was seeing increased demand at the dealership, anyway. He expected interested in the Car Allowance Rebate System to pick up. “Funny thing is, we as taxpayers may as well use it because we’re paying for it anyway,” Steinke said.

Price: Some people may have broken meters

��

Water continued from 3

��

� ��

��

The typical municipality experiences 16 percent water loss, Price said, suggesting that Hayden shoot for 10 percent. Town Council members were concerned about losing money. They questioned whether people were using water and not paying. Some of the water loss, Price said, could come from people with broken meters. It’s a challenge for Hayden to contract with plumbers to fix difficult-to-reach meters, and it costs money. Price said he and other plant workers weren’t comfortable fixing or replacing meters and that households with broken meters pay the rate of an average water user in town. Price suggested requiring those users to replace their meters or face consequences. “I think we should issue a policy where we say if you do not make an appointment within the next week to fix your meter, we’re going to turn your water off,” Price said. Council Member Jim Haskins supported that, suggesting that the council could make door hangers saying as much. Customers often aren’t eager to get their meters fixed, Council Member Tim Redmond said. Redmond, a mechanical contractor who does plumbing

work, has contracted with the town and worked with Streets Superintendent Sam Barnes to get to customers. “There were a couple situations where Sam had to get a little forceful with people to get me access, which is frustrating,” Redmond said. Tightening the rules is an option, Town Manager Russ Martin said, but he thinks the solution to the water loss question is more complicated. The meter for water leaving the town’s plant could be inaccurate, Martin said. It’s measuring a lot of water moving quickly. The water loss could just appear on paper. “I think we’re at a loss as to which way to go,” he said. “We can spend a few thousand recalibrating some meters and maybe doing some leak detection.” The town would have to find that money somewhere, however. Hayden already has cut its budget, and the enterprise fund, which pays for the water and sewer systems, is expected to be short by half a million dollars. Tap fees are down because construction is down, and the rain this summer meant people were using — and paying for — less town water. Hayden already has had to use its reserves, which also are about half a million, to cover

��

costs in the enterprise fund, Martin said. “That’s about a six-month reserve, and any community would be pleased to have that much reserve on hand,” he said. “Our problem is that the water fund has taken that until a point where we cannot operate the general fund, or at least do it as well as we have in the past, from a cash flow standpoint.”

Rate debate Hayden is trying to refinance its debt on the water plant it built in 2003-04. So far, Martin and his staff members haven’t negotiated a better deal on interest rates. If they can’t do so, the town might take out a line of credit to pay bills and improve cash flow. That would be a temporary solution, Martin said. “It’s actually not a bad situation; it’s just like any business trying to figure out how you get through a period of time,” he said. “Because the water fund is a business, and right now it’s not making enough money to cover its bills, and that’s not a good thing.” Hayden town officials are working with bankers to figure out the next step for the enterprise fund. Martin said Town Council members probably would consider rate increases in coming months. The town can specify whose rates increase, leaving out senior citizens, for example, he said. “With the economy generally suffering, I think it’s a tough time to do that,” Martin said. “The board’s sensitive to that, trying to do the right thing for the fund and knowing it’s going to turn around at some point.” — To reach Blythe Terrell, call 871-4234 or e-mail bterrell@steamboatpilot.com

State Historian William Convery describes the complex personality of Nathan Meeker and his ill-fated interaction with the Northern Ute Tribe in September 1879. Convery spoke Friday to 80 people attending the Tread of Pioneers brown bag luncheon.

blow account of the White River Incident, often referred to as the Meeker Massacre, at www.meekercolorado. com/HSociety.htm. Also, the Colorado Historical Society has just published a brief history of the Utes, Convery said. Perhaps the most bizarre aspect of the entire Nathan Meeker story is the plot of the single novel he published during his career as a writer, “The Adventures of Captain Jack Armstrong.” Although poorly written, Convery said, it is fascinating for the way it foreshadows Meeker’s disastrous course of action at the White River Agency. In the book, an idealistic sea captain sails to the South Pacific on a ship loaded with Bibles and farm implements. He encounters unspoiled native peoples living in an idyllic setting. The fictitious Captain Jack Armstrong endeavors to instill the values of hard work among the natives, but their entire civilization collapses under the weight of Western civilization. Realizing that he has made a tremendous error in judgment, the novel’s protagonist returns to his ship and leaves the island for good. Inexplicably, Meeker’s novel, written decades before he moved to Colorado, foretells the course of his tragic engagements with the Northern Utes — engagements that altered the course of history in the place you and I now call home. Tom Ross is a longtime Steamboat resident. His column is published Tuesdays and Saturdays in Steamboat Today.

descendants of Horace Greeley, Meeker cast about for steady employment and used his influence to land a job as the government agent at the White River Indian Agency, where his predecessor was despised by the native residents of Western Colorado. Meeker probably saw his assignment to the White River Agency as an opportunity to carry out among the Utes some of his deeply held convictions, about building agrarian communities united toward the common good. But that hope wasn’t out of concern for the Utes. During his time at the Union colony, he wrote articles that pointed out the intellectual inferiority of the Native Americans, Convery said. When he arrived on the White River, Meeker insisted that the Utes address him as “father.” They had been trading with Spanish colonialists for centuries and were not as unsophisticated as he imagined. Meeker knew only that it was his mission to persuade the Utes to abandon their nomadic hunting ways and depend solely on agriculture. The Utes weren’t about to give up hunting for deer, elk and bison. His general disregard for the culture of his neighbors came to a peak when Meeker directed his white employees at the agency to plow up the Ute’s horse pasture and race track in Powell Park. The Indian agent saw only unproductive use of potential cropland where the Utes engaged in gambling. “He never understood the centrality of (the) horse to the Ute culture and economy,” Convery said. Ever since they first traded with the Spaniards, the Utes understood that whoever had the fastest horse would be the best hunter. Destroying the horse track led to a heated exchange that caused Meeker to panic and send for the cavalry to come from Evanston, Wyo. The Utes, mindful of the Sand Creek Massacre, panicked in turn. The resulting bloodshed allowed Colorado Gov. Frederick Pitkin to act on his long-held belief that Ute land-use practices were inefficient and squandered opportunities presented by the Rocky Mountains’ rich natural resources. The resulting removal of the Utes from Northwest Colorado was nothing short of ethnic cleansing, Convery said. You can read a blow-by-

He lumped Colorado in with the problem. “The money included for transportation, I thought was a good investment,” Penry said. “The $800 million in bailouts (for Colorado), I don’t think future voters should be required to bailout bad budget decisions. I don’t think the federal government should bail out California for their mismanagement, and I don’t think Colorado is different.” At his appearance at the Holiday Inn, Penry said the federal government already controls too much of Colorado’s

budget and pointed to mandated Medicaid expenses as an example. “If you look at it, if you came from outer space and landed, you’d think government was trying to make it worse,” Penry said. “Why are we piling things on local government during a recession? Why are we piling things on energy?” Although Penry has opposed several parts of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission’s new drilling regulations, he said Friday that some portions of the rules are good, such as noise restrictions and other quality of life protections for communities located near development. However, he doesn’t think

the state as a whole has a balanced perspective on energy development across the state, such as in the Roan Plateau and Vermillion Basin areas. Part of that problem, Penry said, comes back to Harris Sherman, Colorado Department of Natural Resources executive director. “It wouldn’t take me too long to ask the head of the DNR to head for greener pastures and take a new job,” Penry said. “It’s going to be a busy first day if I’m elected.” He added that Northwest Colorado will be an important part of his campaign, and he will be back as it gets closer to the November 2010 general election.

A patient infected with hepatitis C has been found at a second Colorado hospital that employed a surgery technician accused of swapping her dirty syringes for ones filled with painkillers meant for patients. State health officials said Friday that a patient at Audubon Surgery Center in Colorado Springs may have contracted the blood-borne liver disease from 26-year-old Kristen Diane Parker. Prosecutors already have linked 19 hepatitis C cases found at Denver’s Rose Medical Center to Parker. She faces multiple charges of tampering and fraudulently obtaining a controlled substance. Parker also worked at hospitals in Mount Kisco, N.Y., and Houston, where health officials have launched investigations.

“We’re sorry to see any positive case come forward from Audubon,” said state health department spokesman Mark Salley. “We kind of hoped that the employee would have changed her ways.” Justin Graf, one of Parker’s attorneys, said they were working with the U.S. Attorney’s Office and couldn’t comment on the latest test results or a 42count federal grand jury indictment handed up Thursday. Parker faces up to life in prison if she is convicted of tampering and a person she infected dies, prosecutors said. More charges are possible. Parker is accused of stealing the syringes from operating room carts, then replaced them with dirty ones filled with saline. Parker’s work at four hospitals in three states is now under scrutiny. Officials say as many as 6,000

patients at the two Colorado hospitals may have been exposed to the disease. Thousands of former patients have been tested, with 1,818 negative results from Rose and 894 from Audubon, Colorado health officials said Friday. Parker worked at Rose from Oct. 21 to April 13 and at Audubon from May 4 until June 29. An additional 2,800 patients may have been exposed at Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco, N.Y., where Parker worked between October 2007 and February 2008. New York health officials sent letters to patients advising them to get tested. New York health department spokeswoman Claire Pospisil said Friday no cases linked to Parker have been found at Northern Westchester. Pospisil did not know how many people were tested. Hospital officials did not return messages.

Air Force board accepts 1st gay member Kristen Wyatt

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLORADO SPRINGS

A Colorado Democrat who last year became the first openly gay non-incumbent elected to Congress took his place Friday on the U.S. Air Force Academy’s supervisory board. Rep. Jared Polis was appointed earlier this month to the Academy’s Board of Visitors, which met today and Saturday in Colorado Springs. He is thought to be the first openly gay member serving on an oversight board at any service academy. The boards report to Congress and the Pentagon on how the academies are doing, including recommendations

for change. Polis opposes the military’s ban on gay and lesbian servicemembers and twice has proposed, then withdrawn, amendments to undo “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policies. Polis’ appointment, made by Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has veterans on both sides of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” debate wondering whether it’s a signal change is coming. “We’re all reading the tea leaves here,” said Tricia Heller, a Class of ’87 Air Force Academy graduate who flew C-9 jets for the Air Force before the leaving the service four years ago and coming out. “I’m not saying ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ is going away. We

can’t say that. But this is a good sign,” said Heller, now an attorney in Windsor. She’s one of about 70 members of the Blue Alliance, an alumni group of gay and lesbian Air Force Academy graduates, plus some straight alums who want to end the ban on gays in the military. Polis says he doesn’t plan to push for change through the Board of Visitors but did repeat his opposition to the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” ban on gay, lesbian and transgendered servicemembers. Asked about the policy, Polis said he expects Congress will start debating as soon as this fall a repeal of the 1993 ban on gay servicemembers.

A new study by University of Colorado researchers shows that too much noise can drive away many birds, decreasing the diversity of species in an area and potentially affecting the ecosystem. The three-year study also showed that while noise negatively affected the variety of birds, at least a few species fared better with noise because there were fewer predators raiding their nests.

The study published online Thursday in Current Biology compared nesting birds in piñonjuniper woodlands near natural gas fields with birds in adjacent, quieter areas. The study area was south of Durango, just over the New Mexico border. “This is the first study to show that noise pollution causes changes in species interactions within bird communities,” said Clinton Francis, a doctoral candidate and the study’s lead author. “Since noise pollution can be a major cause of declining bird diversity in and around

The study was funded in part by the university and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.

Lt. Gov. Barbara O’Brien said Colorado is off to a good start in trying to get federal stimulus funds for education. O’Brien said Friday that officials think Colorado can qualify for as much as $500 million next spring because of the progress the state has made to improve struggling schools. O’Brien Education Secretary Arne Duncan issued guidelines Friday about how states can win the money in the federal government’s “Race to the Top” competition. O’Brien said Colorado is ahead of many other states in

other states. However, he said the plan needs more work. “We know that a strong condition of being successful in the ‘Race to the Top’ application has to do with connecting teachers directly to students and their academic achievements. We have been very optimistic based on the unified approach and communication that’s been going on in this state that we’ll have strong teacher buy-in,” Jones said. Jeanne Beyer, spokeswoman for the CEA, said the union is still reviewing Obama’s plan to determine the impact on teachers. The Obama administration said it will not award money to states that bar student performance data from being linked to teacher evaluations. Several states, including California, New York and Wisconsin, have that prohibition.

The first committees will meet Aug. 12. “Colorado is ready to go to work on the proposal. We are pleased to have connected our partners at the Department of Education with so many highlevel, thoughtful people to help us craft an innovative proposal to move Colorado’s education system forward,” O’Brien said.

Swine flu could hit 40 percent in US �� CDC just released its estimates �� ATLANTA

In a disturbing new projection, health officials say as many as 40 percent of Americans could get swine flu this year and next and several hundred thousand could die without a successful vaccine campaign and other measures. The estimates by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are about twice the number of those who catch flu in a normal season and add greater weight to hurried efforts to get a new vaccine ready for the fall flu season. Swine flu already has hit the United States harder than any other nation, but it has struck something of a glancing blow that’s more surprising than devastating. The virus has killed about 300 Americans, and experts think it has sickened more than 1 million, comparable to a seasonal flu with the weird ability to keep spreading in the summer. Health officials say flu cases may explode in the fall, when schools open and become germ factories, and the new

estimates dramatize the need to have vaccines and other measures in place. A world health official said the first vaccines are expected in September and October. The United States expects to begin testing on some volunteers in August, with 160 million doses ready in October. The CDC came up with the new projections for the virus’ spread last month, but it first was disclosed in an interview this week. The estimates are based on a flu pandemic from 1957, which killed nearly 70,000 in the United States but was not as severe as the infamous Spanish flu pandemic of 191819. The number of deaths and illnesses from the new swine flu virus would decline if the pandemic peters out or if efforts to slow its spread are successful, said CDC spokesman Tom Skinner. “Hopefully, mitigation efforts will have a big impact on future cases,” he said. Besides pushing flu shots, health officials might urge measures such as avoiding crowded places, handwashing, cough covering and timely use of medicines such as Tamiflu.

House Dems clear 1 health obstacle; others still loom David Espo

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

House Democrats announced agreement Friday on far-reaching steps designed to rein in the relentless growth of Medicare, part of a concerted effort to counter the impression that President Barack Obama’s health care legislation is in deep trouble. Speaker Nancy Pelosi hailed the agreement as a Pelosi “giant step forward” for the bill that Obama has made a test of his leadership. Advocates said it eventually would turn Medicare toward a program that rewards quality, rather than volume, as well as alter a system that pays doctors and other providers more in some regions of the country than others. Yet the leadership all but abandoned a pledge to approve legislation before a monthlong vacation scheduled to begin at the end of next week. Maryland

Rep. Steny Hoyer, the majority leader, left open the possibility that lawmakers would be held in session a day or more longer than scheduled to allow time for a vote. If not, “We have every intention of passing it by the fall,” he said. Separately, talks between the leadership and rebellious conservative and moderate Democrats demanding changes in the bill collapsed in acrimony during the day, then were revived with a handshake a few hours later. In a further attempt to blunt criticism, Democrats circulated a breakdown claiming to show the benefits of the legislation in each of the nation’s 435 congressional districts. The maneuvering in Congress came as Obama met at the White House with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., the chairman of the Finance Committee, who has been trying for months to produce a bipartisan agreement. “I said to (Obama) what I say to everybody. We are ready when we are ready,” Baucus later said.

Profits up in US, but revenue lacking Stevenson Jacobs THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK

Corporate America is turning a profit again, but only by spending less, not making more. Although recent bullish profit reports have fueled the stock market, a true economic revival will depend on consumers opening their wallets. So far, there’s little evidence of that. Big names such as Caterpillar, IBM, Whirlpool, Pfizer, 3M and Lowe’s boosted profit forecasts for 2009 after a slew of second-quarter earning reports that blew past lackluster expectations. Yet the gains aren’t coming from sales. Rather, companies are slashing everything from jobs to officer perks to boost the bottom line and please investors who have responded by pushing the major stock indexes to their highest levels in months. None of this is surprising coming out of a recession. But the increase in the major stock indexes is raising questions about whether investors are getting ahead of themselves. Companies can only cut costs so much, and the profits and the stock surge aren’t likely to last without a sustained economic recovery that puts people in the mood to spend again. “Cost-saving is not going to be the source of future earnings,” said Fred Fraenkel, vice chairman of the Beacon Trust Company, an investment management firm. “The source is going to be revenue, and that can’t happen until the economy starts growing.” Many companies are taking steps that could lead to even better year-over-year earnings growth in the third and fourth quarters. Last year, companies were unprepared for the plunge in consumer spending that followed the credit crisis and stock market collapse in September and October. Revenue declined sharply, but there wasn’t enough time to cut costs, so profits tumbled. The Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index has increased 44 percent since early March, while the Dow Jones industrials increased to above 9,000 Thursday for the first time since early January.

Geithner defends financial oversight reform Anne Flaherty

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

��

20496146

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Friday that a new agency focused on protecting consumers is needed because the mission is too scattered among various regulators. This results in “finger-pointing in place of action,” he told the House Financial Services Committee. The adminisGeithner tration’s plan to create a Consumer Financial Protection Agency has bumped up against opposition from Republicans, industry and federal regulators. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has argued that the Fed is best suited for the role. Monitoring risk and protecting consumers are “closely related, and thus entail both informational advantages and resource savings,” Bernanke said in prepared testimony. Geithner chalked up the pushback to federal regulators wanting to protect their turf. “With great respect to the chairman and other supervisors who are reluctant to do this, they are doing what they should, which is defend the traditional prerogatives of their agencies,” Geithner said. “I think, frankly, all arguments should be viewed through that prism.” Rep. Ron Paul, of Texas, and other Republicans on the panel said it was foolish to give “unelected bureaucrats” the authority to determine what financial products are fair. “They will be empowered to decide which credit cards we can receive, which home mortgages we are permitted to possess, and even whether we can access an ATM machine,” Paul said. Rep. Barney Frank, the panel’s Democratic chairman from Massachusetts, said Republicans aren’t being practical. Frank supports the creation of the agency but has delayed a vote on it until after the August recess to give critics a chance to weigh in. “Ideology shouldn’t be driving this,” he said. Bernanke’s push back comes as he’s nearing the end of his term.

California officials make plan Lawmakers OK cuts to help fix budget Judy Lin

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO, CALIF.

Lawmakers on Friday approved a complex package of spending cuts, accounting maneuvers and raids on local government coffers to fill California’s gigantic budget deficit, providing hope that the state might begin a slow climb out of a deep financial hole. The action came after a grueling month for the Legislature as the state dealt with a historic financial crisis that has become more dire by the day, driven by a dramatic decline in income tax revenue amid the recession. The cash crisis has become so acute that California has been forced to send IOUs instead of payments to thousands of state contractors and was facing the prospect of being unable to fund pension contributions or pay employees by September. The cuts imposed by the Legislature are extraordinary. The deal will mean teachers are laid off, college students

will pay more, parks will be closed, and office buildings will be sold off. Lawmakers agreed the scope of the cuts was distasteful, but most said they had little choice. “The only way to do it is to spread the sacrifice. That is why this budget is an acceptable budget to me — it saves our state from financial ruin and from drowning into the fiscal abyss,” Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger

said, adding he was pleased that they avoided passing tax increases. “We have endured the darkest of storms and the harshest of winds. ... We have emerged battered and bruised, but we are intact and we are still standing.” The package of about 30 bills first passed the Senate after an all-night session Friday then was approved by the Assembly in the afternoon.

Panda birth excites scientists �� Tini Tran

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING

For the first time, a giant panda cub has been born in China after being conceived using frozen sperm, officials announced Friday — an innovation scientists hope will help the endangered species avoid extinction. The new cub’s birth Thursday

means breeders no longer will be forced to rely on semen from China’s few virile males and may even be able to bring in sperm from zoos in San Diego, Mexico City or elsewhere. That’s key to promoting a healthy panda population because too much inbreeding can lead to birth defects that would further threaten the survival of the species.

The new cub, born to You You, a female panda at the Wolong Giant Panda Research Center in southwestern Sichuan, is the tenth born at the breeding facility this year. Just after dawn, the pinkish, hairless cub emerged, and its mother was shown licking the tiny wiggling creature to clean it on footage broadcast by the state television channel CCTV.

Zelaya steps into homeland Ousted Honduras president vows to reclaim his position Morgan Lee

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

EL PARAISO, HONDURAS

Ousted President Manuel Zelaya stepped across the border into his homeland Friday, vowing to reclaim his post a month after soldiers flew him into exile. Zelaya’s supporters clashed with soldiers and police after the government ordered everyone off the streets along the Zelaya 600-mile border with Nicaragua in a noon-to-dawn curfew. Wearing his trademark white cowboy hat, Zelaya walked up to a sign reading “Welcome to Honduras” and smiled to cheering supporters at the remote mountain pass surrounded by banana trees. He stopped a few steps into

��

Honduran territory, however, saying he was negotiating with military officials to let him be reunited with his family in Honduras. “I’ve spoken to the colonel and he told me I could not cross the border,” Zelaya said. “I told him I could cross.” Zelaya said he was trying to get in touch with more senior military commanders. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called Zelaya’s trip “reckless.” International leaders have urged Zelaya not to return to Honduras out of fear it would lead to bloodshed, but Zelaya said he had no choice after U.S.-backed talks with the coup-installed government failed to reinstate him. That government has insisted it will arrest Zelaya once he returns, ignoring threats of sanctions from nations worldwide if he is not reinstated. Soldiers formed a human

chain near the border crossing but made no immediate move to approach Zelaya as he stood speaking on a mobile phone. In a statement, interim government officials said they still believed in negotiations. Its deputy foreign minister, Marta Alvarado, accused Zelaya of seeking “subversion and a bloodbath.” Zelaya said his reinstatement is necessary to preserve democracy and prevent coups, not only in Honduras but across a region that has seen many in its turbulent political history. “The people of Latin America and the world have been losing their rights,” Zelaya said before crossing. He appealed to soldiers to lower their weapons when they see him and asked the interim government of Roberto Micheletti to allow him back. “Let me return in peace. Let calm return to Honduras,” he said.

AUBENAS, FRANCE

After three weeks and thousands of miles of riding, it all comes down to this: a soaring bald mountain in Provence where the Tour de France can be won or lost. The fabled and dreaded Mont Ventoux today provides a dramatic climax to Lance Armstrong’s comeback Tour — and teammate Alberto Contador Armstrong is expected to keep the yellow jersey. The main question in the 103.8-mile Stage 20 from Montelimar to the ascent that Armstrong calls the toughest in France is whether he’ll be on the podium with the Spaniard when the race finishes Sunday on the Champs-Elysees in Paris. Friday’s relatively flat stage from Bourgoin-Jallieu to Aubenas did little to change the race standings, though an everopportunistic Armstrong shaved off four seconds to his deficit to Andy Schleck in second — making up for what he lacks in physical strength with guile. Britain’s Mark Cavendish won the stage in a sprint, collecting his fifth stage victory at this race — the most by a rider in a single Tour since ... Armstrong in 2004. Contador, like the Armstrong of yesteryear, has been positively dominant at the Tour this year, winning a mountain stage and a time trial — phases of the race that count so much toward overall victory. Armstrong, returning to cycling’s main event at age 37 and as one of the oldest men in the peloton, has far more than held his own this year: he trails the Spaniard by 5 minutes, 21 seconds. Schleck, of Luxembourg, is 4:11 off the leader’s pace.

Two Steamboat Springs Little League all-star teams head to Denver for state tournaments this weekend with different levels of experience. Each, however, have the same goal. The 9- and 10-year-old team will be playing at the state level for the first time, and the 11and 12-year-old team will be making the trip for the fourth consecutive year.

Regardless, each team enters today’s opening games confident Steamboat can play with the best teams in the state. “The expectations are to go down, play some serious baseball but have some serious fun,” said Craig Pasternak, the 9- and 10-year-old coach. “They’re 9 and 10 years old. It’s focusing on the game but it’s also enjoying the experience. This is as far as they can go at this age. This is the World Series for them.” The younger group opens

play at 12:30 p.m. today in Denver against Cherry Creek. The older team plays at 9 a.m. today in Denver against Grand Junction. The 9- and 10-year-old team cruised through its district tournament, winning any way possible. After getting solid pitching in the first two games, Steamboat pounded the ball in the championship game to make state. Pasternak said the state tournament is a relative unknown. Steamboat will See Little League, page 29

Matt Cain became the major league’s second 12-game winner, scattering three hits in seven innings, and the San Francisco Giants beat Colorado, 3-1, on Friday night to pull even with the Rockies in the National League wildcard race. Fred Lewis finished a home run shy of the cycle and Nate Schierholtz hit a solo shot in the fourth, snapping the Giants’ seven-game homerless streak. Cain (12-2) gave up one run and struck out five as he moved to 37-6 all-time when the Giants score three or more runs for him. Jeremy Affeldt pitched a perfect eighth — his 27th straight scoreless inning — and Brian Wilson got Troy Tulowitzki to hit into a game-ending double play in the ninth for his 25th save. Although Cain struggled with his command at times, issuing four walks, he didn’t allow his first hit until the fifth when Ian Stewart lined a two-out hopper through the right side of the infield. Cain joins Colorado’s Jason Marquis as the only 12-game winners this season. Marquis was scheduled to pitch Friday but was bumped because of a bothersome blister on his right middle finger. Jason Hammel (5-5) filled in, giving up three runs and seven hits in six innings. The Rockies had a two-out rally going in the sixth after Ryan Spilborghs doubled and Todd Helton walked. Garrett Atkins laced an RBI double to left, but Cain struck out Brad Hawpe to limit the damage to one run.

Twenty members of the Steamboat Springs High School cheerleading team returned from a camp at Regis University on Thursday with plenty of good news. “We go to a camp every summer, but normally the bigger Denver schools dominate the competitions,” coach Shannon Uris said. “I’m really proud of our girls and the way they represented their school and Steamboat Springs.” Steamboat’s varsity team, which includes 16 cheerleaders, took first place in cheer and second place in dance. The smaller junior varsity squad earned first place in dance. Uris said there were 12 schools at the camp, including many larger schools such as Montebello, George Washington, Columbine and Pomona high schools. “I think our attitude was the difference this time around,” senior cheerleader Genna Bradley said. “I think everybody on the team thought we had a shot, and our coach made us believe it was possible.” The Steamboat team was immersed in cheerleading for about eight hours a day during the four-day camp. Sessions went from 9 a.m. to noon, from 1 to 4 p.m and from 6 to 8 p.m after dinner. But Bradley said the experience expanded past the sessions. “Cheerleading is all you think about and all we talked about the entire time,” Bradley said. The Steamboat team also

received an award for showing the most school tradition after the third day of the camp. Uris credits her athletes’ dedication to supporting high school sports each year for that honor. Bradley and fellow senior Brittany Salazar also were given All-American honors at the camp. Bradley earned the honor of “best jumps” and was asked to coach next year at a camp put on by the Universal Cheerleading Association. “I’ve wanted ‘best jumps’ since I was a freshman,” Bradley said. Bradley, who also is one of the state’s best high school divers, said her jumps have improved a lot in technique and height since she was a freshman. She credits those changes to her success at this year’s camp. She is hoping the top finishes will give the Steamboat squad a

boost as they move toward the start of a new season. “You learn so much at the camps,” Bradley said. “But it’s also a great place to make a connection with teammates. You can become better friends with teammates that you might not have known before the camp.” The Steamboat Springs High School cheerleading team will return to action when the high school’s fall season officially begins Aug. 17. Uris said the competitive season begins in November and that the team usually competes in two regional events and the state meet each year. The state meet is held in December. The coach said Steamboat Springs High School usually has a full varsity team of 16 members and a full junior varsity team of the same size.

The one-page decision by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals stands until NASCAR’s Mayfield full appeal can be heard. NASCAR appealed to the Richmond, Va., court after a federal judge on July 1 lifted

AUTO RACING — NASCAR Mayfield’s suspension based on the argument that the drug testing system was flawed. U.S. District Court Judge Graham Mullen still has NASCAR’s request before him to overturn his earlier decision based on its claim that Mayfield tested positive for methamphetamine a second time July 6. Mayfield was suspended May 9 for failing a random test done eight days earlier, and NASCAR has said he tested positive for methamphetamine. Mayfield has denied ever using the illegal drug. He is not entered in Sunday’s race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and has indicated he has no intention of returning to

racing as he fights NASCAR. The last remaining employee at Mayfield Motorsports resigned last week, and Mayfield has not entered any events since Mullen’s ruling. “We are pleased with the 4th Circuit Court’s ruling to reinstate NASCAR’s suspension of Jeremy Mayfield,” NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said in a statement. “This is an important decision for NASCAR to make fair and equitable regulations for the safety of competitors and spectators at the track. We will continue to respectfully make our case for as long as the litigation continues.” John Buric, an attorney for Mayfield, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Goodyear satisfied with practice results �� INDIANAPOLIS

Goodyear’s Greg Stucker arrived Friday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway with a nervous stomach. He left the historic track with a sense of relief. Dale Earnhardt Jr. ran 27 laps on one set of tires and four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon offered another emphatic endorsement that Sunday’s race at The Brickyard won’t look anything like last year’s

AUTO RACING — INDY

debacle at Indy. Stucker couldn’t have scripted it any better. “It makes you feel pretty good,” Goodyear’s race tire sales director said after two practice sessions. “I’ve still got a few butterflies. We thought we had asked all the questions, gotten all the answers and were pretty thorough. We felt we were pretty good, but you’re always a little anxious when you get here.”

Stucker wasn’t just spouting the company line. One driver after another put their stamp of approval on the new tires. Longtime veteran Jeff Burton said he had full fuel runs, 33 to 35 laps, on the tires in testing without a hint of a problem. Joey Logano, the youngest race winner in Cup history, described the tires as “great” and Gordon said it was time to forget last year’s indelible race image — caution flags because of excessive tire wear.

Coach: Key is to get early leads in games

Little League continued from 27 see teams as good as they’ve played all year, and he hopes Steamboat can rise to the occasion. “You just got to work through the games,” player Colton Pasternak said. “It’s one game at a time. With a little luck and some good playing we might go all the way.”

New outlook for older team For the 11- and 12-year-old team, the state tournament hasn’t been too kind. Each of the past three years, Steamboat has been ousted early. Save for a win against Boulder two years ago, Steamboat hasn’t had much luck. But with most of the team having been there before and after playing more than 80 games since September, coach Tim Bishop said the outlook is a little different this year. “These are really good teams that we’re facing,” Bishop said. “They’re the best the state has to offer. But we’ve seen the big city lights. I want them to feel

like this is what we do. We’ve been there and done this.” Bishop said the key for his team will be to get early leads and build on them. He said he’s reiterated the point all week to be aggressive at the plate and in the field. In essence, Bishop wants to make the other team beat Steamboat. “I think we’re taking a more

confident group than years’ past,” he said. “But at this age that can change on a dime. My goal is for us to jump up early on these guys. I think that confidence will build from there. A lot of these guys have played in so many games across the state. They know they can do it. They’ve played against these kids.”

Funk leads by 3 shots

American golfer’s 5-under 65 puts him ahead Friday GOLF — SENIOR BRITISH OPEN through the weekend.

Fred Funk shot a 5-under 65 for a three-shot lead at the Senior British Open on Friday. He is a tournament-record 11 under through two rounds and leads Tom Watson by seven shots. Funk has gone 36 holes without a bogey and his round, capped by a 174-yard 8-iron at the last hole for an eagle 2, gave him an 11-under 129, a 36-hole record total for the event. He has a three-stroke lead past Sam Torrance, who also shot 65 and 2006 winner Loren Roberts another two shots back at 134. Watson, trying to follow up his British Open runner-up finish on Sunday with a fourth Senior British Open title, shot

69 to share sixth place. “I turned a good round into a mediocre round ... with poor putting,” Watson said. “I had a lot of opportunities to make birdies today and didn’t make them. “If I had putted average it would have been 67, maybe 66. If I had putted well, maybe 64. Tee to green was good.” He knows he has work to do. “I’m a lot of shots off the lead the way Freddie’s playing. We’ll have to cut off his knee, or something,” Watson joked. “He’s a straight driver of the ball, and if you do that, you’re going to hit a lot of greens.” Watson made a grip adjustment on his putter late in his round, which he hopes will help

“I’m just going to try and weaken my grip a little bit so I can feel both hands together a little bit more, to make myself release it better,” he said. “We always have to try something.” Senior PGA champion Michael Allen shot a 65 and was tied for fourth with Tom Kite (68). Watson was tied at 4 under with Greg Norman (69), Mark McNulty (67), Don Pooley (66), Denis Watson (68) and Gordon J. Brand (68). Funk finished his round half an hour before Watson and Norman were going to start, but they were delayed for two hours by a thunderstorm. It meant that 18 players did not complete their rounds. They will do so early today.

SUMMER SALE SPECTACULAR

Scott Sonner

NFL RENO, NEV.

The woman accusing Ben Roethlisberger of raping her last summer will have a difficult time convincing a judge and jury she was assaulted in the star quarterback’s penthouse hotel room partly because she never reported it to police and waited a year to file a civil lawsuit.

��

Several lawyers and legal scholars say the 31-yearold employee of Harrah’s Lake Tahoe hotel has the added chore of taking on a casino in Nevada, where the gambling industry wields considerable clout.

Roethlisberger

��

But she may have a chance of winning an out-of-court settlement from the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback known as “Big Ben” because millions of dollars in endorsements are at stake for the two-time Super Bowl winner, legal observers say. “The question they are going to be asked right out of the chute is, why did she not file a complaint with the police?” said Dick Gammick, the district attorney for Washoe County in Reno who is not involved in the case. Cal Dunlap, the woman’s lawyer, who is the former Washoe County district attorney, has refused to comment. “The entire matter will be tried in court and

not in the media,” he said Friday. The woman, an executive VIP casino host at Harrah’s at the time, said in the lawsuit that Roethlisberger lured her to his room under false pretenses and raped her during a celebrity golf tournament last summer. She’s seeking a minimum of $490,000 plus punitive damages. The suit filed in Reno last week also accuses Harrah’s officials of covering up the alleged assault and going to great lengths to silence her after she says she reported it the next day to the hotel’s security chief. Roethlisberger, 27, said Thursday that the allegations are “reckless and false.” “I would never, ever force myself on a woman,” he said, vowing to fight the claim in the courts.

Ai Miyazato, of Japan, shot a 6-under 66 on Friday to share the second-round lead at the Evian Masters, and Michelle Wie was eight shots back after a 70. Miyazato shares the lead at 9under 135 with joint first-round leader Na Yeon Choi, of South Korea (68), and Becky Brewerton, of Wales, who bogeyed the 16th and 17th to shoot 68. “Obviously there’s a touch of disappointment because I got to go 11-under. This is

LPGA — EVIAN MASTERS a really tough course to not have any bogeys,” Brewerton said. “It would have been quite an achievement not to. Disappointed I did it at the end, but I would have taken 68 at the start of the day.” In-Kyung Kim, of South Korea, the other first-round co-leader, was a shot back in fourth. “This is my fifth time in Evian, but I haven’t been playing good the last four years, so I am happy with that,” Miyazato said. “I made my first birdie on 3 today, that was a pretty long

putt, like 6 meters. After that, I (managed to) keep it going.” Despite a double bogey on the fourth, Wie hit five birdies in her round to retain a chance of gaining points for a place on the U.S. Solheim Cup team for next month’s matchup against Europe. After finishing Thursday’s opening round at 3 over, top-ranked Lorena Ochoa began her second round with bogeys on the first two holes. But the Mexican made a string of birdies to shoot a 69 to be at even par. Brewerton is vying for a place on Europe’s team after her rookie appearance two years ago.
