‘A change’: City sales tax revenue up By Rachel Carter Longmont Times-Call

LONGMONT — The last time the city’s sales tax revenue went up was in August. Of 2008. At least, that was until March’s numbers came in. Sales tax revenue for March increased 4.1 per-

cent over the same month last year. “That’s surprising,” city finance director Jim Golden said. “It’s definitely a change from what we’ve been seeing.” A change from what the city has been seeing for nearly two years: falling or flat sales tax revenue.

Use tax revenue also rose 8.2 percent over March 2009; that follows a slight increase in use tax revenue in February. “It was the second strong month for use tax; that’s one thing that stands out,” Golden said. All told, March’s tax revenue rose 4.1 percent from the same month last year. The city collect-

ed about $150,000 more in sales and use tax revenue in March than last year: $3.72 million, up from $3.57 million in March 2009. “We’re hoping that this is an indication that we’ve plateaued,” Golden said. However, year to date, revenue is still slightly down from the first quarter of last year (which al-

ready had dropped drastically from 2008). Total sales and use tax through March decreased 0.5 percent from the first quarter of 2009. “(But) our overall outcome after three months is pretty close to being on target for what we budgeted for revenue,” Golden said. Please see TAX on A9

COLORADO NATIONAL MONUMENT — The exhilaration of racing downhill amid red rocks is drawing a burst of bicyclists to Colorado National Monument, but officials say the landmark’s roads weren’t designed for the traffic that comes with the thrill-seekers. Bicyclists to the western Colorado landmark were up 31 percent from 2008 to 2009, when there were 13,347 bicycle visits. This year could see more than 16,000 visits, beginning with next month, when some 2,000 participants of Ride the Rockies will head up and over the monument, starting at its east side.

RMNP to hold Grand Ditch hearings in June By By Pamela Dickman Loveland Reporter-Herald

Seven years ago, water raged over the banks of the Grand Ditch, destroying habitat, taking out trees and flooding LuLu Creek. The damage altered habitat, spawned a lawsuit and now, two years after the court case settled, is in the first step to recovery. Officials at Rocky Mountain National Park are figuring out the best way to help restore the damaged area. The breach in the ditch sent about 100 cubic yards of water per second downhill, causing a mud, tree and rock slide into LuLu Creek and the headwaters of the Colorado River, officials report. Damage — 20,000 destroyed

The Associated Press NORWOOD — A downed power line was being blamed Sunday for an intense fire ripping through San Miguel Canyon. About 180 firefighters were battling the fire dubbed the Beaver Fire, a day after a power line fell over and sparked a roaring fire through steep canyons covered in oak brush and pines. Fire investigators weren’t sure what toppled the line, but wind gusts in the area reached 45 mph Saturday. No homes were threatened as the fire reached some 3,000 acres Sunday. However, Erin Curtis of the Montrose Interagency Fire Management Unit said area campsites were evacuated Saturday and “a few” campers were asked to leave. Curtis also said Fire activity intensified Sunday afternoon as wind gusts picked up. The most intense activity has been to the north and east, in MacKenzie Canyon. Neighbors were being asked to remove brush and flammable items from their yards as a precaution. Some residents were moving their animals, Curtis said. The fire was most intense in MacKenzie Canyon, at the northeast end of the fire.

tions. • Stabilizing steep slope. • Removing sediment and dead timber and possibly using it in other areas of the restoration project. • Planting native species. • Regarding and re-contouring areas to restore the natural water flow. The possibilities, which could be combined into the final plan, may require using chainsaws, helicopters and even fences. The anticipated effects of all of those possibilities will be weighed against the effects of the damage and restoration to decide what is best in the long run for the land, the wildlife, the visitors and the historic areas.

Vail Valley science school aims to be greenest By Sarah Mausolf Vail Daily VAIL — Gore Range Natural Science School’s new campus in the Vail Valley could become the greenest school in Colorado. From solar panels to grass-covered roofs to recycled newspapers as insulation, the design for the campus the school plans to build in Avon is packed with environmentally friendly features. In fact, school officials are shooting for the highest rating the U.S. Green Building Council offers for eco-friendly construction. That would be platinum certification under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design system, better known as L.E.E.D. “That’s a lofty goal for them to go for,” said Deb Kleinman, executive director of the U.S. Green Building Council’s Colorado chapter. “That’s exciting.” If school officials meet their goal, Gore Range Natural Science School would be the first school to get platinum status, Kleinman said. Located on 5 acres nestled in the mountains, the new school will stand near a pond, wetlands and hiking trails, school executive director Markian Feduschak said. That’s a fitting setting for a school that encourages children to explore nature. For local children, the school offers field trips into Eagle County’s outdoors and three- to five- day summer camps focusing on science, Feduschak said. The school also provides natureoriented programs for visitors to the Vail area, he said. The school occupies an administrative office above Loaded Joe’s in Avon while classes take place at various locations throughout Eagle County, Feduschak said. However, Gore Range Natural Science School officials say they

have long envisioned a centralized campus where they could hold indoor as well as outdoor programs for more students. They also want to cultivate a place where visitors can study mountain ecology, Feduschak said. On the heels of three years of fundraising, work on the $10 million campus is set to begin in July, he said. To match the school’s mission, the design tries to work with, not against, the environment. Brian Sipes, a principal with Zehren & Associates in Avon, the architecture firm designing the campus, described the project as “the best kind of challenge.” “We’ve talked from the very beginning of this project about integrated design,” he said. “The environmental features weave themselves throughout the entire build-

Creek Road. Plans include a 6,000square-foot mountain discovery center complete with a visitors’ center and educational displays. Administrative offices will occupy the second floor. Next to the discovery center, a community hall will house large gatherings like lectures. The 2,200-square-foot building also divides into two classrooms. Moving closer to the pond, a smaller 1,100-square-foot classroom could serve as a headquarters for aquatic field research and other programs. Finally, a pair of two-story structures will house teachers. The school plans to hire four more educators, bringing the total to eight. Officials hope to start work on the mountain discovery center and community hall in July, with plans to open in 2011 school.

ing. They’re part of the basic decision-making process on everything we’ve done.” School officials did not have estimates available for how much extra money it cost to build the school to platinum standards. In general, Kleinman said building a platinum-rated building can add 0 to 3 percent of the total project cost to the price tag. However, green building can reduce energy costs by 24 to 50 percent, she said. Perhaps more important to school officials than the money is the message the building sends to students about environmental stewardship. “We are building a campus where the building themselves will teach,” Feduschak said. When finished, the campus will include four buildings along Buck

Colorado Christian starts new nursing program By Shelley Widhalm Loveland Reporter-Herald

The sky’s the limit, or in the case of a new nursing program at Colorado Christian University, the boundaries of the state are for the applicants who want to start this fall. So whether you live in Loveland or Sterling, Grand Junction or Colorado Springs, Colorado Christian University is offering a new type of nursing program that combines online courses with classroom studies. The program is geared toward working adults who want to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. “We’re offering a unique program,” said Diann DeWitt, nursing professor and program director at

the college. “We want it to be for working adults who want to maintain a job and obtain the B.S.N. degree.”

Students — the program will accept 48 annually — will study nursing through a mix of online study, satellite classrooms and health facilities across the state. The courses initially will be offered at the college’s satellite centers in Northglenn and Grand Junction, DeWitt said, adding that as the program grows, courses will be offered at other centers. Along with the main campus in Lakewood, those centers include Denver, Colorado Springs, Sterling and Loveland, which relocated in March to 3553 Clydesdale Parkway. The course offerings will include

genetics, bioethics, global health care, cultural humility and genomics.

“We’re going to be preparing students to provide compassionate, excellent care to people from a Christian worldview,” DeWitt said. Students can choose a speciality nursing experience, such as perioperative care, critical care and emergency nursing, and oncology and palliative care, DeWitt said. Their clinical experience will be conducted primarily on weekends at more than two dozen hospitals and wellness centers throughout the state, but the locations have not been finalized, DeWitt said. “There is a tremendous shortage of nurses today, not only in Colorado but nationwide,” said Bill

Louisville cancels fireworks, citing budget cuts

LOUISVILLE — There won’t be any Fourth of July fireworks in Louisville this year because of a reduced city budget.

The city in Denver’s northern suburbs canceled this year’s fireworks display, saying it couldn’t afford the $30,000 tab to put on the show. Louisville has also left two police officer jobs vacant and has capped benefits for current municipal employees. Other Louisville-sponsored events, including a summer street fair and a Labor Day celebration, will go on.

Lip tattoo leads to burglary arrest PUEBLO — Police say a suspect in a home invasion had the evidence written all over his face. A tattoo on the upper lip of 20-year-old Anthony Brandon Gonzales led to his arrest last week in the home invasion of an area Elvis impersonator. A witness told police that one of the invaders had “East Gonzales Side” tattooed on his upper lip. Gonzales also has a “13” tattooed on his chin in the shape of a goatee. According to an affidavit, the tattoos were visible even though Gonzales was wearing a mask. Gonzales was already in jail on a separate drug charge. Police have now charged him with the April burglary, too. Sgt. Eric Bravo said his distinctive tattoo led to the charge, saying, “it’s hard to miss him.” Times-Call wire reports

Wyo. drivers no longer get free pass on E-470 The Associated Press

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Wyoming drivers have been driving free on the E-470 highway around Denver because of a hitch between the two states. But now the glitch has been resolved, and Wyoming’s free ride is ending. The E-470 highway is frequently used by Wyoming drivers to reach Denver International Airport. But when Colorado officials last year stopped using toll booths and switched to using cameras to catch drivers’ license plates, Wyoming drivers weren’t charged. That’s because officials hadn’t been able to obtain vehicle ownership information with the Wyoming Department of Motor Vehicles. Now the logistics have been worked out. Wyoming drivers without a prepaid express tolling account will

get bills in the mail. Jo Snell of the E-470 Public Highway Authority told the Wyoming Tribune Eagle that the problem was not that Wyoming wouldn’t share driver information. But E-470’s cameras had a hard time capturing Wyoming plate numbers. “There’s a lot more characters involved than just the basic ABC-123,” Snell said. But the glitch has been worked out. Snell said the tolls go toward paying the highway’s $1.1 billion bond debt. E-470 isn’t part of the Colorado Department of Transportation and is not tax funded. Most cars are charged $2.50 for a trip on E-470, which runs 47 miles around Denver’s eastern edge. Express tolling account decals are now for sale at a King Soopers grocery store in Cheyenne.

LFCPA I object to the LFCPA comment printed in Thursday’s T-C Line. Tuesday’s council meeting was not really a “gang of four” episode. There were a number of mixed votes during the LFCPA discussion. Sean McCoy was even part of the majority on one four-to-three vote to raise contribution limits. The real problem Tuesday was Sarah Levison’s one-person filibuster to retain what is the real bloc of four’s ill-conceived LFCPA from 2009.

TO BUILD A BETTER WORLD, START IN YOUR OWN COMMUNITY

Conservation won’t meet water needs W

hen the House subcommittee on water and power met recently in Greeley, its members heard testimony from a variety of sources on the future of water in Northern Colorado and the state in general. That testimony is sure to raise concerns among some in the environmental community — that conservation methods alone will not provide long-term water solutions on the Front Range. Population estimates for the cities along the Interstate 25 corridor north of Colorado Springs continue to vault skyward, despite the current recession, and the need for water to slake residents’ thirst and power the industries that employ them will continue to climb, too. The solution, as Reps. Betsy Markey and John Salazar were told, has to come from more than just switching to lowflow toilets, reducing residential irrigation

and other conservation measures. The solution also cannot result in more agricultural land being taken out of irrigated production in the South Platte basin. To truly keep up with population growth, water supplies will have to be augmented by a variety of solutions, including conservation and the addition of storage — meaning dams. The conservation efforts needed will have to include dredging some current reservoirs to increase their capacity and lining ditches to reduce the amount of water lost before it reaches its intended destination. However, environmental groups and the state and federal governments will have to move beyond a prohibition on new storage to identify those areas where sensible projects can be built. At least two members of the state’s congressional delegation heard that message loud and clear.

A bit more silence may be golden

VIEWS FROM THE NATION’S PRESS Insurgents can win but must show they can govern, too Moments after he took down a 30-year U.S. senator backed by a Democratic White House, a state Democratic Party and a Democratic governor, Joe Sestak put a bow on it: “This is a win for the people over the establishment.” We’ll leave you to decide whether that’s good or bad. Sestak’s victory in a Pennsylvania primary over Democrat-turned-Republican-turned-Democrat Arlen Specter was only one topline contest on a night that became known as “mini-Super Tuesday.” In Kentucky, Rand Paul rode a wave of tea party support to a decisive GOP Senate primary win over Trey Grayson, anointed by no less than Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Dick Cheney. In Arkansas, a challenger backed by the MoveOn.org left, Lt. Gov. Bill Halter, forced Democratic Sen. Blanche Lincoln into a runoff. Rarely has voter unrest, on both sides of the aisle, been so apparent. Tea party passions are pressing hard on Republican races; the liberal wing is tugging at Democratic contests. Caught in between, and possibly expelled, are centrists like Lincoln and Specter. The unrest didn’t start Tuesday and might not stop there. Consider 17-year Sen. Bob Bennett, deemed not conservative enough for Utah Republicans. Or blue New Jersey and purple Virginia flipping from Democrats to Republicans for their governors. Or

YOUR LETTERS ARE WELCOME

recall hearing a colleague telling his administrative assistant one morning as he walked in, “You look so pretty today; I didn’t recognize you.” He seemed rather uncomfortable until her giggle reassured him she understood he was trying to compliment her on her new hairdo. We have all been there, having said something that we wish we could reel in again, thinking, “That didn’t come out the way I meant it.” Whether it is a compliment or a Leif sales pitch, imBilen precise wording Community can either get us Columnist into trouble or make us sound a bit silly. I heard the following at a corporate meeting, “This new report will fill a void we have never had before.” Somehow that statement didn’t convince many of us that we really needed the new fancy tracking report for parts sales. Also, I still have trouble with the logic of this statement by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, “We have to pass this bill so that you can find out what is in it.” This was after the issue had been discussed for about a year. Today’s society is not lacking for words. We have talk radio, talking heads on television and seemingly incessant talk in the political arena; and the noise level is increasing. From name calling and mischaracterizing opposing opinions to complete falsehoods, we have all heard it and some of us might even have experienced it personally. Standing up for strong convictions is not always met with understanding, even when it is done in a civilized way. Occasionally we hear sincere apologies on the air. Often though, the explanation is so careful and subtle that it is practically meaningless. The phrase “I was quoted out of context” is a common way of trying to explain something without really denying the accuracy of the quote. Yogi Berra, of course, tried it in his own inimitable way, “I didn’t say everything I said.” I am reminded here of a clever observation someone made, “The law of gravity makes it easier to open one’s mouth than to close it.” Our fondness for talk is not a new phenomenon. There are lots of examples in literature that address the subject. “Talkers are no good doers” from Richard III is not Shakespeare’s most famous quote, but it is worth considering. The Irish writer Oscar Wilde (1856-1900) observed that ‘The House of Commons has nothing to say and says it.” In all fairness, I have to admit he had a few things to say about journalism as well. This is not to suggest that we should stop communicating. Good communication, of course, includes listening, which seems to have become a lost art. It might seem odd, but if we could learn to be silent more, our public discourse might just improve.

Standing up for strong convictions is not always met with understanding, even when it is done in a civilized way.

Jamaica: Gunfire, fire bombs in barricaded slum By David McFadden The Associated Press

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Masked men defending a reputed drug lord sought by the United States torched a police station and traded gunfire with security forces in a patchwork of barricaded slums in Jamaica’s capital Sunday. The government declared a state of emergency as sporadic gunshots rang out in gritty West Kingston, stronghold of Christopher “Dudus” Coke, a Jamaican “don” charged in the U.S. with drug and arms trafficking. His de-

fiant supporters turned his Tivoli Gardens neighborhood and other areas into a virtual fortress with trashed cars and barbed wire. A police station in Dehnam Town came under heavy fire from gang- Coke sters roaming the streets with high-powered guns. In barricaded Hannah Town, close to Tivoli Gardens, black smoke spiraled into the sky from a police station set aflame by molotov cocktails. Officers fled the burning station in impoverished West Kingston,

where a 2001 standoff between gunmen and security forces killed 25 civilians as well as a soldier and a constable. Authorities said two security officers had been wounded by Sunday night. Police said the attacks were unprovoked. It called for all “decent and law-abiding citizens” in the troubled areas to immediately evacuate their homes and said security forces would ferry them out safely. Police Commissioner Owen Ellington said “scores of criminals” from gangs across the

Caribbean island had traveled to West Kingston to join the fight. “It is now clear that criminal elements are determined to launch coordinated attacks on the security forces,” he said. In a gritty section of the capital of an island known more for reggae and all-inclusive resorts, the violence erupted after nearly a week of rising tensions over the possible extradition of Coke to the United States. Prime Minister Bruce Golding had stalled the extradition request for nine months with claims the U.S. indictment relied on illegal wiretap evidence. After Golding

reversed himself amid growing public discontent over his opposition, Coke’s supporters began barricading streets and preparing for battle. Before Sunday’s shooting started, police urged the neighborhood boss to surrender, calling the heavy barricades encircling his slum stronghold a sign of “cowardice.” The U.S., Canada and Britain issued travel alerts Friday warning of possible violence and unrest in Jamaica. Most islanders have been avoiding downtown Kingston.

States. But their relatives expressed concern that the men were being mistakenly targeted because they are devout Muslims who pray five times a day and fast during the holy month of Ramadan — a contrast to some Pakistani elites who live a more Westernized lifestyle. “Saying prayer is his crime; fasting is his crime; being Muslim is his crime,” said Saima Shahid, whose 32-year-old husband Shahid

Hussain is alleged to have helped arrange money for the Times Square suspect. Both men studied at the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut, but Shahid did not know if they were at the school at the same time.

Lee: N. Korea must pay for torpedo attack on warship The Associated Press SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea’s president said today his nation will no longer tolerate North Korea’s “brutality” and said the regime would pay for a surprise torpedo attack that killed 46 South Korean sailors. President Lee Myung-bak vowed to take Pyongyang to the U.N. Security Council for punishment over the

March 26 sinking of the warship, suspend inter-Korean exchanges and ban North Korean ships from passing through its waters. In a solemn address from the War Memorial, Lee cited an “incessant” pattern of attacks by communist North Korea.

He is religious in the sense that he says his prayers and fasts,” Afzal Inayat said about Raza. “That doesn’t mean that he is an extremist.” Raza, who has an MBA from a private university in Islamabad, worked at an upscale catering company co-owned by the third suspect whose family spoke Sunday, Salman Ashraf.

WORLD IN BRIEF

Train derails in China; at least 19 dead

Financial loopholes could allow crisis

Why me?’ And I can only think that God wanted to give me a second life,” he said from his hospital bed in Mangalore. Investigators and aviation officials combed through the wreckage of the Boeing 737-800 strewn across a hillside to try to determine the cause of India’s worst air disaster in more than a decade. They recovered the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder, which they hope will give them important clues, the Press Trust of India news agency reported. A four-member U.S. forensic team also arrived in India to help in the investigation, said Harpreet Singh, an Air India spokeswoman. By Sunday evening, 146 of the 158 bodies had been identified.

BEIJING — A passenger train hit by landslides derailed Sunday in eastern China, killing at least 19 people and injuring more than 70 others, state media reported. The latest death toll jumped from initial reports of eight killed, as rescuers dug out more bodies from mangled and overturned train carriages, the official Xinhua News Agency said. The train, bound for the tourist destination of Guilin, derailed around 2 a.m. Sunday in a mountainous area near Fuzhou city in eastern Jiangxi province, China Central Television reported. Heavy rains caused a landslide that buried the railroad tracks, and the train derailed when it crashed into the huge mounds of dirt and debris, CCTV said. About 2,000 rescuers, including firefighters, police and soldiers, found 10 bodies and pulled out 53 people who were trapped inside the crushed carriages, Xinhua said. Rescuers removed another 280 people by 9 a.m. They also warned that landslides remain a threat.

biyah dagger tucked into his waistband, Anwar Al-Awlaki used the 45-minute video posted Sunday to justify civilian deaths — and encourage them — by accusing the United States of intentionally killing a million Muslim civilians in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. American civilians are to blame, he said, because “the American people, in general, are taking part in this and they elected this administration and they are financing the war.” “Those who might be killed in a plane are merely a drop of water in a sea,” he said in the video in response to a question about Muslim groups that disapproved of the airliner plot because it targeted civilians.

WASHINGTON — The most sweeping changes to financial rules since the Great Depression might not prevent another crisis. Experts say the financial regulatory bill approved by the Senate last week, and a similar bill that passed the House, include loopholes and gaps that weaken their impact. Many provisions depend on the effectiveness of regulatory agencies — the same agencies that failed to foresee the last crisis. A big reason for the bill’s limitations is that banks and industry groups lobbied against rules they felt would reduce their profitmaking ability. The financial sector’s influence in Washington reflects its enormous donations and lobbying. Over the past two decades, it’s given $2.3 billion to federal candidates. It’s outdone every other industry in lobbying since 1998, having spent $3.8 billion. Here’s how the bills, which must be reconciled and approved by the full Congress, might address some causes of the financial crisis, and some of the bill’s perceived weaknesses:

La. gov.: State to build barriers without OK

ON BARATARIA BAY, La. — Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal says the state is not waiting for federal approval to begin building sand barriers to protect the coastline from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

Republican wins Hawaii congressional vote HONOLULU — Republicans cited Rep.-elect Charles Djou’s victory for a seat long out of their reach as evidence of steadily increasing election-year strength, but Democrats said Sunday the winner’s 40-percent vote share portends a short stay in Congress for him and predicts nothing about the fall. “It is a significant win. It is the birthplace of the president of the United States,” Republican Chairman Michael Steele said a few hours after Djou sealed his victory over Democrats Colleen Hanabusa and Ed Case. The two drew 59 percent of the vote between them in the winner-take-all contest. But Rep. Chris Van Hollen, DMd., chairman of the Democratic campaign committee, said the result was “a clear case of local Democrats not being able to work

Djou became the first Republican in nearly 20 years to win a congressional seat from his state, and he seemed to recognize that his political future was anything but secure.

‘Uncle Boonmee’ wins top Cannes honor CANNES, France — The hypnotic Thai film “Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives” won the top honor at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday, while Academy Award winners Juliette Binoche and Javier Bardem earned acting honors. “Uncle Boonmee,” directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, traces the dreamlike final days of a man dying of kidney failure as the ghost of his dead wife returns to tend him and his long-lost son comes home in the form of a furry jungle spirit. “I would like to thank my mother and my father, who 30 years ago, they took me to a little cinema in our little town, and I was so young and didn’t know what it was on the screen,” said Weerasethakul, who previously won the third-place jury prize at Cannes with his 2004 film “Tropical Malady.” “I didn’t know the concept of cinema. With this award, I think I know a little more what cinema is, but it still remains a mystery. I think this mystery keeps us coming back here and to share our world.” Times-Call wire reports

U LTRASOUND T ESTS OF H EART & ARTERIES Gary Taninbaum “In March of 2008, I decided to have my heart tested when HealthFair was conducting tests near my home. The procedure was fun and painless, but the technician told me I had a problem. My Aorta was 5.7cm, not in the danger zone, but way above normal. I went to a cardiologist to confirm these results and yes indeed I needed surgery. Three months later and I am already back at work. While I am grateful to the surgical team, I owe a big thank you to HealthFair. My father suggested I go for the test, and I am glad I did. I felt fine and there were no symptoms, but yet one day in the near future I would have died. Funny thing is, I just had an annual checkup and was told I was fine. I suggest everyone reading this to get checked out with HealthFair. This test saved my LIFE! - Gary Taninbaum

Echocardiogram Ultrasound Test

Echocardiogram is a video ultrasound of the heart. It may detect enlargement of the heart, valve abnormalities, blood clots and tumors.

Electrocardiogram (EKG) Test

EKG may detect ischemia, silent heart attack and atrial ﬁbrillation. EKG provides a picture of the electrical activity of the heart.

Hardening of the Arteries

Hardened arteries cause the heart to work harder, which leads to vascular disease. ASI test shows the degree of hardening of the arteries.

I am 66 years old and went to a HealthFair screening in Plano, TX late in 2008. Your ultrasound tech discovered that my right carotid artery was 75%+ blocked. I was advised to contact my family doctor immediately. I did, and I was referred to a vascular surgeon. I was told that I needed to have surgery on my carotid artery or I would not be around for much longer. So I am now recovering from carotid artery surgery and the right side is clear. I am on medication to help reduce the plaque on my left side. I will get checked yearly now…. All of this would NOT have been detected if it weren’t for your screenings. I am not a regular at the doctor’s ofﬁce. “I’m not sick, I don’t need a check-up!” has been my mantra for the past 20 years.

WASHINGTON — Sarah Palin, the former Republican vice presidential candidate who helped popularize “drill, baby, drill” as a slogan, suggested Sunday that President Barack Obama’s campaign ties to the oil industry were impeding cleanup of the BP spill in the Gulf of Mexico. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs responded that Palin should better inform herself about oil politics and policy. Speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” the former Alaska governor said she remained a “big supporter” of oil drilling but believed “these oil companies have got to be held accountable.” Pointing to what she termed the

White House’s relationship with “the oil companies who have so supported President Obama in his campaign and are supportive of him now,” Palin wondered aloud “if there’s any connection there to President Obama taking so doggone long to get in there, to dive in there, and grasp the complexity and the potential tragedy that we are seeing here in the Gulf of Mexico.” Gibbs, on CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” suggested Palin do some homework. “I’m almost sure that the oil companies don’t consider the Obama administration a huge ally,” Gibbs said. “We proposed a windfall profits tax when they jacked their oil prices up to charge more for gasoline.”

Gibbs said, “My suggestion to Sarah Palin would be to get slightly more informed as to what’s going on in and around oil drilling in this country.” The oil and gas industry donated $2.4 million to Palin’s running mate, Republican John McCain, in the 2008 election cycle, and nearly $900,000 to Obama, according to the Center for Responsive Politics’ opensecrets.org website. One month after the BP rig exploded and sank in the Gulf, thousands of barrels of oil a day continue spilling as experts struggle to devise a way to cap the break and contain the crude. A live webcam shows the oil spewing underwater in graphic detail. Criticism has been mounting over the inability of the White

Esmeralda Martinez, 16, looks on as J.P. Henry, 15, learns how to provide customer service and network management at RidgeviewTel in Longmont as part of their training in the new FTSBTS program for Skyline High School on May 17.

gram that turns tech-savvy students into teachers. RidgeviewTel, the Longmont company that runs the citywide Wi-Fi and WiMax systems, is training Skyline students — most of whom are in the school’s science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and visual/performing arts academies — in customer service and network management. Students then will use that knowledge to help other students access the Internet and troubleshoot problems. “It seems like a good idea,” Coniway said. “Having the ability to cross the digital divide is something you have to do. It’ll definitely help students connect more.” The program is an extension of the city’s Digital Divide program, which provides free Internet access for residents in low-income or subsidized housing who have children in Longmont schools. The ultimate goal of FTSBTS is to provide Internet access and laptops for all St. Vrain Valley School District students, RidgeviewTel CEO Vince Jordan said. FTSBTS is seeking corporate sponsors to fund laptops for low-income Skyline students and plans to distribute them in late summer or early fall. More than 47 percent of Skyline students last year qualified for free and reduced-price lunch, a common poverty indicator. That’s the highest percentage among the seven high schools in the district. RidgeviewTel’s contract with the city already calls for 260 free Internet connections for low-income Longmont households. About 100 families currently benefit from the program, and the city is working to add more, said Jim Wall, Longmont’s chief information officer. The city provides families with computer-premises equipment — devices

CHICAGO — The nation’s largest pediatricians group is relaxing its stance against swimming lessons for children younger than 4.

A few small studies suggest toddlers may be less likely to drown if they’ve had swim

that amplify and route Internet signals — and formerly city-owned desktop computers that have been outfitted with open-source software. “We’re extending the program now to say, ‘Let’s go after every child and every student who cannot get Internet connection,’” Jordan said. Since FTSBTS launched in February, students have designed a website and worked on marketing and promotions. On May 17, students participated in the first round of training at RidgeviewTel’s network operations center. They learned how to log issues and manually input data. “Really, today is our first day setting up accounts,” Skyline junior Meng Koh said. But Koh, 16, said he’s anxious to dive more into the tech side of the project. He’ll get a chance to do that when Skyline pilots an online Mandarin class this summer. A Taiwanese teacher will instruct student via webcam, Skyline instructional technology specialist Myra Giersdorf said. Students who enroll in the class will borrow laptops from school, and the FTSBTS tech team will help set up the connection and troubleshoot any problems that arise. Skyline computer science teacher Richard Guenther said FTSBTS is blazing the trail for the future of education. He said about half of Skyline students don’t have reliable Internet access at home. And that’s a major problem as education becomes more web-based and teachers rely on sites like Virtual Campus and Infinite Campus to disseminate information. “This is going to make Skyline be one of the leading schools in how education is changing,” Guenther said.

days into this effort and deadline after deadline has been missed.” The federal government could resort to taking over tasks now controlled by BP, Salazar suggested. “If we find they’re not doing what they’re supposed to be doing, we’ll push them out of the way appropriately,” he said. U.S. Coast Guard Rear Adm. Mary Landry later accused BP of not responding efficiently enough to oil bearing down on Louisiana communities west of the Mississippi River. Unlike previous news conferences, in which federal officials referred to the oil giant as “our partner,” Landry referred Sunday to BP as “the responsible party.” “I did have to apply pressure to BP over the last few days,” she said in an afternoon news conference in Louisiana. “There was a lot of equipment there that wasn’t being deployed appropriately or quickly enough for my satisfaction. So we put our foot down with that.” Those comments stood in contrast to morning news show remarks from Landry’s superior, U.S. Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Thad Allen, who said he trusted Tony Hayward, BP’s chief executive, and said the company was responsive. “When I give them direction or the federal on-scene coordinator gives them a direction, we get a response,” he told host Candy Crowley on CNN’s “State of the Union” show. “I’ve got (BP Chief Executive) Tony Hayward’s personal cell phone number. If I have a problem, I call him.” Asked if BP was “in charge” of the effort to stop the leak, Allen said, “I don’t think it’s an issue of control.” But he acknowledged that “access to the discharge site is controlled by the technology that was used for the drilling, which is owned by the private sector. They have the eyes and ears that are down there. They are necessarily the

lessons. The doctors aren’t recommending lessons for every young child. Some parents may feel their little ones aren’t ready, and that’s OK. Parents should choose classes that emphasize water safety and require a parent or other adult to be in the water with the child, said Connie Harvey who heads aquatics development for the American Red Cross and wasn’t involved in the doctors’ policy update. Classes should have at least one instructor for every 10 students, she said.

TAX: Revenue up 4% in March From A1

The increase in sales tax collections rose primarily in the automotive and “general” categories — which includes department stores and discount stores, as well as some other types of retail — both indicators that people are spending money again. The “professional” category — which includes a few primary employers, as well as finance, banking, laundry, printing and beauty supply businesses — also was up 49 percent, Golden said, although the category itself is “not a big-dollar generator.” City officials have the first-quarter revenue under their belts, but Golden said the finance department likely will wait to get one more month of numbers be-

fore putting together revenue projections, which will shape the 2011 proposed budget. City financial officials don’t look at the whole of sales and use tax figures, Golden said: “We take it apart and look at each piece and decide what each piece is going to do.” In the meantime, city directors are putting together requests for each department’s budget, which they should have to Golden by the end of the month. He said the finance department will go through those budget requests in June and meet with city manager Gordon Pedrow in July. Per the city charter, Pedrow must present a proposed budget to the Longmont City Council on or before Sept. 1.

modality by which this is going to get solved. Our responsibility is to conduct proper oversight to make sure they do that.” BP Managing Director Bob Dudley, on the same program, said that criticism from elsewhere in Washington, particularly an assertion from’ Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., that BP could not be trusted, “hurt a little bit.” “All of us at BP are trying to solve the problem,” he said. The mixed tone from federal officials came amid growing frustration over failed efforts to contain the month-old leak, which has spewed an estimated 7 million gallons of oil into the Gulf, and possibly much more. BP plans to try to plug the leak as early as Tuesday by jamming it with mud, an operation they call a “top kill.” If the top kill and subsequent short-term plans on deck fail, the oil could continue leaking until August, when the company hopes to complete a relief well. From the left this week, Democratic operative James Carville, a Louisianan, said the administration was “naive” to trust BP to do the right thing. From the right, Rand Paul, the Kentucky Republican Senate candidate, called out the administration’s aggressive anti-BP language, particularly Salazar’s “boot heel” comments. “I think that sounds really un-American in his criticism of business,” Paul said. Since the April 20 blowout and explosion that killed 11 workers and eventually sank the Deepwater Horizon rig, BP and the government had mostly presented a public image of cooperation and comity, holding joint news conferences and billing their effort as a “Unified Command.” The good vibes appeared to fray last week as oil washed ashore, and as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ordered BP to stop using the dispersant it was spraying to break up the oil, an order BP refused.

House and BP to stem the flow that is threatening the economic livelihood of Gulf Coast communities and wreaking environmental destruction. Gibbs said the government “is doing everything humanly and technologically possible to plug the hole.” “Every bit of government has been activated,” Gibbs said. “The president has told the team to spare nothing in trying to cap this well.” Asked whether there would be a criminal investigation of the spill, Gibbs said Justice Department lawyers have been to the Gulf “to gather information on this.” Republicans popularized “drill, baby, drill” as a campaign slogan in 2008 as gasoline prices were on the rise.

But Monument superintendent Joan Anzelmo said it’s “beyond belief” that there hasn’t yet been a bicycle-car fatality on the monument’s Rim Rock Road, which wasn’t designed for the uptick in recreational car trips. The road, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, has hairpin turns and steep cliffs that make even basic maintenance tricky. It also can’t be widened because of the sheer cliffs. “We are living on borrowed time,” Anzelmo told the Daily Sentinel newspaper in Grand Junction. “We have reached a point where it’s responsible to look at the growth rate. Rim Rock Drive was not created

for the weight and traffic we are seeing on the east hill,” she said. A six-month transportation study last year showed the monument’s motorist recreational travel could double in the next two decades, reaching an annual 750,000 vehicles. Anzelmo said park officials may consider restrictions requiring cyclists to travel only one way during certain hours. Rangers are planning to crack down on safety rules, such a requirement that road cyclers travel single-file and use headlights in tunnels. Cyclists insist that they’re good for the monument — and the economy. The Ride the Rockies event is projected to draw $500,000 to Grand Junction as cyclists bed down for two nights. “It has that kind of appeal,” Smith said of the monument. “It’s gorgeous, and the road is in good condition.”

Dear Tee-Cee: Why wouldn’t drinking glasses be OK to recycle with regular glass bottles and jars? Signed, Confused Recycler. Dear Confused:

Drinking glasses — as well as window glass, windshields, ceramics, dishes, mirrors, light bulbs and Pyrex — aren’t recyclable because their melting points and chemical compositions are different from those of regular glass bottles and jars. In the remanufacturing process, that difference creates abnormalities and weak spots in new glass bottles. So if a buyer sees just one of these items in a load of glass, the entire load could be rejected. Learn more about what’s important to keep out of your curbside recycling cart at www.ecocycle.org.

ODD NEWS Race for sheriff’s office decided by playing cards

A deck of cards and a bit of luck helped decide who will likely be the next sheriff of Morrill County, Neb. The nine of hearts Milo Cardenas drew Monday beat Travis Petersen’s six of spades, giving Cardenas the Republican nomination for sheriff. Since no Democrats ran for sheriff, Cardenas, the police chief in Bridgeport, is likely to win in November’s election. The two men agreed to cut a deck of cards after a re-count confirmed that both finished at the top of a four-man race with 379 votes after balloting ended last Tuesday. State law requires tied elections to be settled by a game of chance.

Chicken costumes banned at Nevada polling places

RENO, Nev. — Voters dressed in chicken costumes won’t be allowed inside Nevada polling places this year. State election officials on Friday added chicken suits to the list of banned items after weeks of ridicule directed at Republican Senate candidate Sue Lowden. The millionaire casino executive and former beauty queen recently suggested that people barter with doctors for medical care, like when “our grandparents would bring a chicken to the doctor.” Democrats responded by setting up a website, “Chickens for Checkups,” and by sending volunteers in chicken suits to her campaign events. Lowden is in a 12-way primary race to decide Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s Republican opponent. She had been the front-runner in the race, but was in a virtual tie for the lead in a recent poll. Under the new rule, chicken costumes will be banned along with political buttons, shirts, hats and signs within 100 feet of polling places. Washoe County Registrar of Voters Dan Burk said such a costume would be an “inappropriate and obvious” advocacy message against Lowden. Times-Call wire reports

Mail carrier’s uniforms depend on their routes

JSV Johnnie St. Vrain

DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION?

Write Johnnie St. Vrain in care of the Times-Call, P.O. Box 299, Longmont 80502 or e-mail johnnie @times-call.com.

Dear Johnnie: I have noticed that sometimes the mail carriers deliver mail in regular clothes — no postal uniform. Sometimes they even drive a regular, unidentified vehicle. Why? Is it casual day? It seems unofficial without them wearing a uniform and driving a mail car. Thanks! — Wondering Dear Wondering: The difference in uniforms and in ve-

hicles is the difference between city and rural routes. I had suspected that was the reason, and Longmont Postmaster Bobby Martin confirmed it for me. Rural carriers have no uniform allowance, Martin said, but they do carry Postal Service badges. Further, they have a “drive out” agreement for use of their own automobiles. The line between city and rural routes does not cleanly

follow city limits. It’s a little fuzzy, Martin said. So it’s possible that you saw these “casual” postal carriers within the city limits. I realize that by “casual,” you might be speaking of city postal carriers and the variety of uniforms you see on them, such as shorts. These carriers receive a uniform allowance and may select different options. While I had Martin on the

phone, I asked him about carriers who walk and bike their routes, as I sometimes think how I would like to have such a job in summer months. He said the Longmont post office has one or two bike routes and that postal carriers on these routes must prove themselves to be qualified. The Postal Service provides their equipment. By the way, Martin has been postmaster here since March 26.

Former All-Star Lima dies at 37

LOS ANGELES — Jose Lima lived over the top on and off the baseball field. The freespirited pitcher could deliver a song as well as a fastball, leaving a trail of fun and laughter known as “Lima Time” wherever he went. The All-Star right-hander who spent 13 years in the major leagues died Sunday, according to the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was 37. Lima, who pitched the Dodgers to their first playoff win in 16 years in 2004, died of an apparent heart attack in Los Angeles. Lima posted his best season with the Houston Astros in 1999 when he was selected to the All-Star game. He went 21-10 with a 3.58 ERA in 35 starts for the NL Central champions.

Goodell pushes concussion law

NEW YORK — NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has sent a letter to 44 governors urging them to pass a law similar to one in Washington state that protects young athletes from concussions. The NFL said in an e-mail Sunday that Goodell’s letter will be part of Dr. Richard Ellenbogen’s testimony at Rep. John Conyers’ forum on concussions in New York City today. Ellenbogen treated Zackery Lystedt, the Washington youth who suffered a brain injury in 2006 after returning to a middle school football game following a concussion. His story prompted Washington to pass Lystedt’s Law, which keeps young athletes from returning to play too soon.

NASCAR Hall of Fame welcomes its first inductees

The Associated Press

HARLOTTE, N.C. — The inaugural five members of NASCAR’s new Hall of Fame were inducted Sunday in a ceremony that both honored auto racing’s pioneers and celebrated the entire industry. NASCAR founder Bill France was lauded for his vision of turning unregulated beach racing into America’s premiere motorsports series. His son, Bill France Jr., was remembered as a tough taskmaster who poured his soul into NASCAR. Richard Petty, the seven-time champion, was credited as the sport’s first superstar, while Junior Johnson was celebrated as the symbol of the sport’s roots. And then there was Dale Earnhardt, the “champion’s champion” who epitomized the blue collar spirit at the heart of NASCAR. The final inductee in Sunday’s ceremony, Earnhardt was represented on stage by his widow, Teresa, and four children, who each took a moment to share their memories of “The Intimidator.” It

Stoudemire’s 42 lead Phoenix past Lakers The Associated Press

PHOENIX — Amare Stoudemire had been criticized for just about everything: his defense, his rebounding, even his desire. The Phoenix forward listened calmly all week, then responded with a monster game. Stoudemire attacked the Los Angeles Lakers relentlessly, matching his career playoff high with 42 points and grabbing 11 rebounds to power the Suns to a 118-109 victory Sunday

night. The win sliced the Lakers’ lead in the Western Conference finals to 2-1. All that talk about a Lakers-

▼ NBAPLAYOFFS Boston final has been put on hold. The Suns can pull even in the series with a victory at home in Game 4 on Tuesday night. Stoudemire, with a bandage over a cut he received when his goggles slammed into his forehead on a drive to the basket, said

he has worked through serious knee and eye injuries and kept his career at an All-Star level. “You can never question my determination,” he said, “my focus, my dedication. That’s one of the reasons I’ve persevered through injuries and continue to try to improve every summer. My dedication to the game is at an all-time high.” Phoenix, dominated inside in the first two games, won with its big men, and a big advantage at the free throw line.

Robin Lopez, whose 7-foot presence gave the Suns some muchneeded toughness inside, scored 20 on 8-of-10 shooting in 31 minutes, by far his most playing time since returning from a back injury at the start of the series. Phoenix made 37-of-42 free throws, 14 of 18 by Stoudemire. The Lakers were 16 of 20 at the line. Kobe Bryant had 36 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds. Pau Gasol scored 23 points, but the Lakers didn’t get as much help

Rockies center fielder Dexter Fowler (24) climbs over the outfield wall after retrieving his glove during the seventh inning Sunday in Kansas City, Mo. Teammate Seth Smith (7) watches the effort. Fowler lost his glove trying to catch a fly ball off the bat of the Royals’ Jose Guillen, who ended up with a triple on the play.

That was a nice boost at the end of a road trip. Giambi homered and drove in four runs, Ian Stewart had three RBIs, and the Colorado Rockies roughed up Greinke in an 11-7 win over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. “To beat a guy like that is a huge confidence booster,” said Giambi, who has 799 career extrabase hits. “A lot of guys asked about him in this room, and I said this guy’s electric; when he’s got it going, he’s got great stuff. Lucky for us, we caught him right before he gets going.” Giambi got it started against Kansas City’s ace with a three-run homer in the third inning and capped a five-run fourth off him with an RBI single.

period he was going to be the guy to go get it. True to his word, he got it.” Chicago will play either Montreal or Philadelphia and be in search of its first NHL title since 1961, more than two decades before many of the current players were born. “It’s an honor to be going to the Stanley Cup. We beat a very good team over there. It wasn’t easy,” Byfuglien said. The 257-pound Byfuglien was parked in front of the net with 7 seconds left on the power play. He took a nice pass from Patrick Kane and knocked the puck past Evgeni Nabokov to give the Blackhawks a 3-2

his shortest outing in nearly two years. The pitching wasn’t so great. Aaron Cook labored with command and couldn’t end a lengthy road losing streak despite being spotted a 9-0 lead. Esmil Rogers (1-2) pitched two innings in relief to get his first career win, but he wasn’t exactly sharp, allowing two runs and five of Kansas City’s season-high 18 hits in two innings. The Rockies made up for it by tying a team record with five double plays and banging out 15 hits. “It was really good to see us swing the bats in the manner in which we did,” Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. “We didn’t necessarily pitch the game as well as I liked to see it pitched, especially when we got out to a 9-0 lead.” NOTES: A moment of silence was held before the game in memory of

lead at 14:05 of the final period. “I got my stick open in front of the net, and Kaner game me a nice little feed,” Byfuglien said. Moving Byfuglien to the top line with Kane and captain Jonathan Toews was one of coach Joel Quenneville’s best adjustments. Kris Versteeg added an empty-net goal with 42 seconds left, and the redclad fans at the United Center erupted, littering the ice with souvenir towels. Byfuglien also had the game-winner Friday night in overtime as Chicago captured Game 3, 3-2. He also put the Blackhawks ahead to stay with a goal in their 2-1 victory in the opener and scored a goal in all four of the Blackhawks’ victories over the Sharks. He

has eight goals in this postseason. “When you’re playing with those two kids, the pucks are going to find you when you’re not expecting it,” Byfuglien said of being matched with Kane and Toews. It was another disappointing ending for the Sharks, who won the conference in the regular season by a point over the Blackhawks. They outshot Chicago in three of the four games but couldn’t break through, scoring only seven goals in the series. “There’s a level of frustration about the way we approached this whole series,” San Joe defenseman Rob Blake said. “We put ourselves in a position to be successful throughout the season and we didn’t accomplish what we needed to.”

PARIS — Venus Williams beat Patty Schnyder for the second time this month on clay, opening Sunday at the French Open with a 6- 3, 6-3 win, as holder Svetlana Kuznetsova pulled her clay game together to advance. Williams, newly promoted back to second in the world, followed up her defeat of the veteran Swiss early this month in Rome. The American player overcame 21 unforced errors, breaking six times to make the difference. Kuznetsova steadied after losing the first three games to emerge with a face-saving first-round win, defeating Romanian Sorana Cirstea 6-3, 6-1. The Russian sixth seed came to the court with just one clay victory this season from a sparse four matches. The seed advanced on her second match point against No. 34 Cirstea, a quarter-finalist a year ago. She will next play German Andrea Petkovic, a winner over Russian Elena Vesnina 4-6, 6-1, 6-4. “Definitely, I was a little bit nervous in the start, and it was rough start for me, but I’m very happy about it,” said the relieved Russian. “I managed to come back and fight for every single game. It didn’t matter if I was down 0-40 or 15-40, whatever was it. I was just playing as many balls back as I could. The first two matches are very important, so the second match is gonna be very hard mentally.” Argentina Gisela Dulko scored the first upset of the fortnight, upsetting out-ofsorts 10th seed Victoria Azarenka 6-1, 6-2. The Belarus player had had mixed results on clay, following up a quarter-final in April in Spain with sluggish showings and never

getting past a second round. Her loss to Dulko was her third in a row. Italian 14th seed Flavia Pennetta handed Britain a loss as she beat Anne Keothavong 6-2, 6-2; France’s Aravane Rezai didn’t pause for breath after last weekend’s surprise Madrid title over Venus Williams, hammering Canadian qualifier Heidi elTabakh 6-1, 6-1. Men’s 2009 finalist Robin Soderling won the first nine games in a rout of local player Laurent Recouderc 6-0, 6-2, 6-3. A year after stunning Rafael Nadal in the fourth round as the Spaniard lost on the Paris clay for the first time after four successive titles, Soderling came good in his first match at Roland Garros since losing the final to Roger Federer. The fifth seed snapped up the first set in 20 minutes against the number 178, finishing with 46 winners and nine aces. “It’s always nice to have a quick match in the early rounds,” said the Swede. “I got to hit a few balls. We had a few rallies, so it was a good match. I’m feeling pretty good, and now I feel healthy. I’m really ready to play many matches here.” Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the eighth seed, kept home hopes buoyant on opening day as he fought past German Daniel Brands 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-7 (2-7), 7-5. Croatian 10th seed Marin Cilic was tested by Brazilian Ricardo Mello before posting a 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-1 win, while Russian 11th seed Mikhail Youzhny crushed Pole Michal Przysiezny 6-1, 6-0, 6-4. Latvian Ernests Gulbis, who beat Roger Federer in Rome, fell victim to a hamstring injury and had to quit against Julien Benneteau to hand over a 6-4, 6-2, 1-0 win.

sons, scoring at least 81 points in each campaign. In 2009-10, he tied a career high with 89 points, including a league-high and personal best 44 goals. Overall, he stands fourth all-time on the Eagles’ scoring list with 136 goals, 211 assists and 347 points. McGrane had been exploring the possibility of playing in Europe the last few years, but everything finally seemed to come together in what he’s seen from the Swedish club. “It was kind of the same feel I got from Colorado,” said McGrane, who also said he heard from teams in Italy and Germany. “Who knows what will happen. Maybe I’ll come back eventually, but I want to go and experience what Europe has to offer. “I know a few guys that have played over there, especially where I’m going, and they’ve all said good things about it.” McGrane was one of Colorado’s four players who started the 2009-10 season as a veteran.

GOLF: State

From B1

But the next two days will revolve around the Falcons. Jennings built the championship tradition at Skyline. She took over the program 11 years ago, and immediately demanded preparation, confidence and smarts on the golf course. But Jennings won’t be around for long. She has accepted an assistant coaching position at Colorado State University, which she’ll begin this fall. “I’m trying not to think ahead,” Jennings said. “It’s emotional.” The Falcons will hit the course early today. Junior Gina Larson is in the opening threesome, teeing off at 8:30 a.m. Callie Hodgkinson follows nine minutes later, and Mikayla Tatman begins her day

at 8:48 a.m. All three golfers paved the way to last year’s state crown. “Our experience will help,” Jennings said. “We can be right in the thick of it.” Jennings said if the Falcons can remain poised, another state title could be in the future. She expects Arapahoe, Cherry Creek and Heritage to be their top competitors. “We need to keep our mental edge,” Jennings said. “I hope it’s an advantage. We need our kids to stay level. That will help in the long run. “It’s worked so far.” But Jennings understands her team will be competing with heavy hearts. Jennings said the Falcons want to send her out on top. That can only add to the pressure they’ll face over the coming days. “We’ll see how much pressure there is,” Jennings said. “It’s

been a challenge. They say they’re good, but it’s been a challenge all year (keeping them focused). That’s been the hardest part.” Skyline placed second at the Northern Regional tournament 12 days ago, but only qualified three of its four golfers for state, with its runner-up finish. Fort Collins won the regional. Jennings said the forecast for today and Tuesday calls for plenty of wind. That could have an impact on the scoreboard. “We just have to move onto the next hole,” Jennings said. “That’s when we play our best golf. It doesn’t matter if you get a bogey or a birdie, you have to move on.” Win or lose, though, Jennings is going out on top. “I’m still proud of them — even in defeat,” Jennings said.

NBA

● If LeBron James isn’t sure he can win in Cleveland, President Barack Obama thinks there’s an opportunity with his hometown Chicago Bulls. “You know, like I said, I don’t want to meddle,” Obama told TNT. “I will say this: (Derrick) Rose, Joakim Noah, it’s a pretty good core. You know, you could see LeBron fitting in pretty well there.” Obama was interviewed about a number of basketball subjects by broadcaster Marv Albert on the White House basketball court. The interview will be shown Tuesday night at 6 p.m.

d’Italia, launching a solo attack on the grueling climb up Monte Zoncolan to move into contention behind overall leader David Arroyo Duran. Arroyo Duran kept his lead despite finishing 3 minutes, 50 seconds behind Basso on Sunday. Richie Porte remained second overall, 2:35 off the pace, and Basso was 3:33 back in third after starting the day in 11th. World champion Cadel Evans was second in the stage, 1:19 behind Basso.

INDIANAPOLIS — Tony Kanaan overcame a second crash to qualify for this year’s Indianapolis 500 on Sunday. The former IndyCar Series champion made it onto the starting grid, posting a four-lap average of 224.072 mph with 30 minutes left in qualifying. That was good enough to bump rookie Sebastian Saavedra out of the 33-car starting field. Kanaan will start 32nd. It’s the first time the Brazilian will start outside the first two rows in eight Indy starts. Brazil’s Bruno Junqueira, the 2002 Indy pole winner, earned one of the nine open spots Sunday with the fastest qualifying average of the day — 225.662. Sarah Fisher’s four-lap average of 224.434 put a record fourth woman in the starting field and was the quickest of the four. But in a stunning twist at the end, Paul Tracy, who lost the Indy 500 title in the disputed finish of 2002, withdrew his speed and failed to requalify. ●

Day wins Byron Nelson Teen Spieth ties for 16th The Associated Press IRVING, Texas — Jason Day nearly dropped out of the Byron Nelson Championship before it began.

Still, the 2010 Nelson will go down for the remarkable Tour debut by Spieth, a 16-year-old junior at a local high school. Spieth was within three shots of the lead on the final nine holes, but dropped back into a tie for 16th. He shot a 2-over 72 in the final round, his highest score of the tournament. His 4-under 276 was six strokes behind Day. Blake Adams, a 34-yearold PGA Tour rookie, shot a 72 to tie for second with Brian Gay, who shot a 63, followed by Jeff Overton (71).

GLADSTONE, N.J. — Sun Young Yoo won the Sybase Match Play Championship for her first LPGA Tour victory, beating Angela Stanford 3 and 1 at Hamilton Farm. Yoo, the 23-year-old South Korean player in her fifth LPGA Tour season, won the 13th and 14th holes with pars and took a 2-up lead with a 15-foot putt for her first birdie of the match on the par-3 16th. The match ended when Stanford missed her birdie putt and conceded Yoo’s birdie. Yoo’s victory was the eighth straight by a foreign player and the 25th in the last 26 events. In the morning semifinals, the 28th-seeded Yoo beat top-ranked Jiyai Shin 2 and 1, and the 10th-seeded Stanford advanced with a 19-hole victory over

friends who shared stories that drew laughter and an occasional tear. France Sr. was accepted into the Hall by his son, Jim, who said the promoterturned-NASCAR founder would have been thrilled to see the racing series had far exceeded his visions of creating a national sport. “If Dad were here today ... he would be proud mostly for NASCAR,” Jim France said. “The NASCAR Hall of Fame in many ways is the ultimate tribute to my father, the hopes and dreams that he had for our sport.” France Jr., who took the reigns from his father and guided NASCAR through a 30-year period of extreme growth, was represented by his children, Brian and Lesa. “He loved this sport. He was passionate about it. He built it literally from the ground up,” France Kennedy said. “When I say ‘the ground up,’ I’m talking about a backhoe at Daytona International Speedway.’ Petty was inducted by his son, Kyle, who called NASCAR’s all-time wins leader “the biggest fan of the sport that ever lived.” “I think that’s what made him a great racecar driver,” Kyle Petty said. “He loves the sport. He carries a passion for this sport. He loves to drive. He loves to work on it. He loves the guys he raced against. He loved the fans. He loved everything about the sport.” The King, clad in his trademark cowboy hat and dark sunglasses, deflected attention to his accomplishments in his speech, preferring to praise his parents, his family, the Frances, his team, media and fans. “I never did anything by myself,” said Petty, NASCAR’s all-time winningest driver with 200 victories, who closed with “I guess I’m going to be like

Armstrong returned to Texas, and tweeted that he was back on his bike Saturday. He angrily denied Landis’ accusations. Asked if he had anything to say to Landis, Leipheimer said, “I’ve thought about it, but I don’t. I can’t begin to understand what’s going through his mind, but it doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t think it’s worth trying to reason with him.” Landis, who won the inaugural Tour of California in 2006, wasn’t invited to compete this year. Rogers addressed the issue of doping in cycling, saying, “I’m getting a little bit sick of all this stuff.” He urged the sport “to get away from negativity” while at the same time admitting that “doping is killing our sport.” Leipheimer disagreed, saying, “I really believe cycling is much, much cleaner than in the past. It’s fair

and it’s clean.” Zabriskie’s teammate, Ryder Hesjedal of Canada, won the eighth and final stage, outsprinting a small group that included Americans George Hincapie of BMC and Chris Horner of RadioShack. Hincapie called Landis’ allegations against Armstrong and others “definitely very disappointing.” “Whoever wants to talk about something eight years old can waste their time,” he said.

pelled all challenges during the 831/2-mile final stage on a hilly circuit in Ventura County while riding for the U.S.-based team of HTCColumbia. He crossed the finish line giving a one-armed salute. “They made me sweat until the end,” Rogers said. “I really didn’t expect this stage to be so hard.” American David Zabriskie of Boulder-based Garmin-Transitions, who led Stages 3 and 4, finished second overall, his third runner-up finish in the 5year-old race. “We were trying to get him to start covering attacks, but he was exceptionally strong,” he said about Rogers. Three-time champion Levi Leipheimer of the United States began the day third overall and ended up there for RadioShack. He overcame a flat rear tire near the base of one of the climbs. “We gave it a good try,” he said. “Unfortunately, it didn’t happen. Am I disappointed? Not at all. I was the main animator of the race and I have to take pride in that.” The U.S.-based RadioShack team lost Armstrong after he crashed Thursday outside Visalia. “That weakened our team,” Leipheimer said. That same day, Armstrong was accused of doping and helping others cheat by former teammate Landis, who showed up at Saturday’s time trial in Los Angeles,

From left: Kerry Earnhardt, Kelley Earnhardt Elledge, Taylor Earnhardt, Teresa Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt Jr. pose Sunday with Dale Earnhardt’s spire during the NASCAR Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Charlotte, N.C. Gomer Pyle. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.” Johnson, the one-time moonshine runner turned champion driver and car owner, was inducted by his 16-year-old son, Robert, who nervously called his father to the stage. “Although my father may be going into the NASCAR Hall of Fame today, he’s always been a Hall of Fame dad in my heart,” he said. “Please join me in welcoming our next inductee, my father, Junior Johnson. I love you, Dad.” Earnhardt’s induction was the most anticipated — proven when a No. 3-clad fan in the back of the room cheered and raised three fingers in salute. Unlike the other inductees, whose choices for introduction and acceptance speeches were well-known, Earnhardt’s representatives had more fluid and the crowd was not certain who would speak. Teresa Earnhardt, uncomfortable with public speaking, has been somewhat reclusive in the nine

years since her husband’s death. Her relationship with stepson Dale Earnhardt Jr. is strained, at best, and it’s rare to see all four children in public together. But the family attended Thursday night’s gala together, and the occasion of Earnhardt’s induction had marked a somewhat coming-out party for his youngest daughter, Taylor. Once frequently spotted alongside her father at the race track, she’d been largely out of the public eye since her father’s death. The 21-year-old represented the family at several events this weekend, and was poised on stage during the ceremony. “Everyone always tells us that we all look a little bit like Dad,” she said. “I think we all act like him, too. We’re determined, driven, stubborn as a fence post. “But Dad gave all four of us something. He gave all his fans something. I think that’s what makes him a true champion in everybody’s eyes.”

Tabloid: Duchess offered access for money By Jill Lawless The Associated Press

LONDON — Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson said she was “very sorry” for her lapse of judgment after she was recorded apparently offering to sell access to her exhusband Prince Andrew in return for 500,000 pounds ($724,000). The duchess said in a statement released Sunday that she had financial problems, but “that is no excuse for a serious lapse in judgment and I am very sorry that this has happened.” “I very deeply regret the situation and the embarrassment caused,” she said. The tabloid News of the World posted video on its website that appears to show Ferguson discussing payment terms. She is heard to say “500,000 pounds when you can, to me, open doors.” Asked if she was referring to the prince, she said: “Yeah.” The newspaper said Ferguson, 50, spoke

to an undercover reporter posing as a businessman. Andrew is an international British trade ambassador. Both the newspaper and the duchess said he had no knowledge of the meeting. The report is embarrassing, but there is no suggestion Ferguson did anything illegal. Ferguson married Andrew, who is fourth in line to the throne, in 1986. They had two children, princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, before divorcing in 1996. Since then, Ferguson has written children’s books, made television documentaries and acted as a spokeswoman for Weight Watchers. She also has struggled financially and has complained that her divorce settlement was stingy. Recently the company set up to manage her U.S. career in publishing, public speaking and media work, Hartmoor LLC, collapsed with debts of about $1 million.

Cash-strapped districts cutting summer school By Heather Hollingsworth The Associated Press

Her daughters were among about 2,500 of the Raymore-Peculiar district’s 6,000 students who enrolled for free last summer in a program that combined traditional subjects with enrichment classes like music. But with state funding uncertain, the district decided to focus this year on about 800 students who either need to make up credits to graduate or are struggling to keep up with classmates. Across the country, districts are cutting summer school because it’s just too expensive to keep. The cuts started when the recession began and have worsened, affecting more children and more essential programs that help struggling students. And in districts like Raymore-Peculiar, al-

though lawmakers ultimately decided to maintain summer school funding, they made the decision so late in the session that many administrators already had eliminated or scaled back the programs. The cuts come even as President Barack Obama and Education Secretary Arne Duncan call for longer school days and shorter summer breaks. But in many states districts cutting summer school outnumber those using stimulus money to expand their offerings. “At a time when we need to work harder to close achievement gaps and prepare every child for college and career, cutting summer school is the wrong way to go,” Duncan said in a written statement. “These kids need more time, not less.” An American Association of School Administrators survey found that 34 percent of respondents are considering eliminating summer school for the 2010-11 school year. That’s a rate that has roughly doubled each year, from 8 percent in 2008-09 to 14 percent in 2009-10. Noelle Ellerson, a public policy analyst for the group

who managed the study, said the cuts illustrate how strapped school districts are. Experts say studies show summer break tends to widen the achievement gap between poor students and their more affluent peers whose parents can more easily afford things like educational vacations, camps and sports teams. On average, low-income children fall between two and three months behind in reading skills over the summer while their middle-income peers stagnate or make very slight gains, said Ron Fairchild, chief executive officer of the Baltimore-based National Summer Learning Association. “Most people generally think summer is a great time for kids to be kids, a time for something different, a time for all kinds of exploration and enrichment,” Fairchild said. “Our mythology about summer learning really runs counter to the reality of what this really is like for kids in low-income communities and for their families when this faucet of public support shuts off.”
