Vail celebrations attract thousands Vail America Days Independence Day parade salutes the USA

By John LaConte Special to the Daily

VAIL — It’s not uncommon to see large crowds in Vail, but it’s only once per year we get to see so many people concentrated into one area.

Thousands of people lined streets between Vail and Lionshead villages on Thursday for the Vail America Days parade, an annual Independence Day celebration featuring 80 or so floats, both comical and ceremonial.

Driving a original World War II Willys Jeep, Edwards resident Buddy Sims said he was honored to be able to pilot the vehicle in salute of Maj. William Bird Mounsey, who always attended the Vail parade, but died last year.

“He was one of the few guys in WWII who was given a star on his combat infantry badge, because he stayed in occupied Germany,” Sims said.

Sims, a veteran of the Vietnam War, was joined by fellow Vietnam veteran G.E. Scott and WWII vets Alan Aarons and Herb Rubenstein.

“I’m 92 years old, I walk fine, but it’s nice to be here in this Jeep with these guys,” Rubenstein said.

Not far behind Rubenstein and Sims was a relic from the post-WWII boom, a pristine red fire truck from 1953 that once belonged to Eagle County’s Gilman Fire Department. Being a motorized event, vehicles like the Gilman firetruck were often as much of a sight to behold as the floats they powered. A 1966 Chevy Corvette

driven by Vail local Bill Bain won the best motorized vehicle float.

“They gave us a really nice plaque,” said Bain. “I love it.”

50TH ANNIVERSARY THEMED Floats that recognized Vail’s 50th anniversary were popular this year, with the Aukamp family driving a “five decades of fun” float and Ski and Snowboard Club Vail winning best youth float with their “50 years of awesomeness” float honoring ski racers like Lindsey Vonn, Sarah Schleper and Mikaela Shiffrin, who were members of Ski and Snowboard Club Vail before turning pro.

Even the floats that were going for laughs — like Cordillera’s disco-themed, multi-person bicycle — were peppered with shout-outs to Vail’s 50th.

Ten-year old Finn Dippy said the Trinity Church float was his favorite.

“They take garbage and turn it into music,” he said.

And he meant it quite literally. Using old buckets, pails and piping, the Trinity Church group played a musical number, accompanied by dancers, to win the parade’s musical marching award.

Parade organizers tout the celebration as “one of Colorado’s largest Fourth of July parades,” a reference to both the parade itself and the crowds it attracts.

Getting to the parade usually means joining a procession of your own on I-70. By 10 a.m. the interstate was a parking lot, with people in cars backed up to West Vail awaiting their opportunity to join the celebration.

DECKED OUT IN RED, WHITE AND BLUE Most of the parade-goers were outfitted in red, white and blue or some sort of USA-themed garb.

Dressed in cut-off jean shorts, Vail Valley resident Robbie Prechtl said

Summer visits to Vail continue to grow

By Lauren Glendenning lglendenning@vaildaily.com

VAIL — As the town of Vail and Vail Mountain try to shape their future, the sight of thousands of people in town this weekend could foreshadow many summer days to come that don’t necessarily fall on holiday weekends.

The Fourth of July is the town of Vail’s busiest day of the year, and if the town of Vail and Vail Resorts get their way, summers in Vail could begin to rival winters here — almost.

With the passing last year of the Ski Area Recreational Opportunity Enhancement Act, Congress paved the way for American ski resorts to offer recreational activities beyond the typical skiing, snowboarding and hiking.

The legislation allows things like

ziplines, mountain bike terrain parks, ropes courses and disc golf courses, and specifically prohibits tennis courts, water slides and water parks, swimming pools, golf courses and amusement parks.

There’s a vagueness to the language in the legislation, though, which is why the U.S. Forest Service is still working on how it will implement the new policy. The process is taking longer than Vail Mountain officials anticipated, said Chief Operating Officer Chris Jarnot.

“They’re still working through that process. We’ve been communicating with them both locally and in Washington,” Jarnot said. “We expect at some point this winter they’ll conclude that process.”

U.S. Forest Service District Ranger Dave Neely, of the Eagle/ Holy Cross district, said the process the Forest Service is currently in is known as the “rule making” phase.

“It’s a challenging thing to try to put enough specificity to try to capture what’s appropriate,” Neely said.

The legislation mentions

specific activities that are allowed or are prohibited, but there are also different interpretations, Neely said.

“It says you can have zip lines, but you can’t have golf courses, but what about things like mountain coasters,” Neely said. “Then it uses language like you can’t have an amusement park — well, what defines an amusement park?”

EPIC DISCOVERY PROJECT These are questions Vail Mountain officials want answers to as the resort plans its Epic Discovery project, which would expand summer recreational activities on the mountain. The resort got approval for a first phase, which is currently under construction and includes two ropes challenge courses at Eagle’s Nest and a 1,200-foot zipline that goes from the top of the tubing lift to the bottom of the Little Eagle Lift at Adventure Ridge. Those projects should be completed and open for business by late July or early August, Jarnot said.

Future phases, however, include plans for an alpine coaster, which Vail Resorts is calling a Forest

BEAVER CREEK — The Steadman Philippon Research Institute will host their annual Rock the Research event today in Bachelor Gulch. The event will commemorate the silver anniversary celebration of the institute, as well as recognize the contributions of renowned orthopaedic knee surgeon and U.S. Ski Team physician Dr. J. Richard Steadman. Five world-class skiers and former members of the U.S. Ski Team will be in attendance to help honor the man who surgically repaired and rehabilitated their career-threatening injuries back in the ’70s and ’80s. In addition, alternative-rock singer and songwriter Edwin McCain will headline the fundraising concert scheduled to take place at the Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch.

Skiers Cindy Nelson, Phil Mahre, Christin Cooper-Tache, Steve Mahre and Mark Tache will be at the event to credit the doctor they say helped guide them from surgery through rehabilitation.

When the institute was still all but a dream to Steadman, these injured athletes (and others) could be found sitting on the living room floor or stretched out on the dining room table of Steadman’s home doing resistance exercises and range-of-motion moves days following their complex surgeries. It was Steadman himself who pushed the current medical standards of that era and worked side-by-side on the floor with these skiers guiding, resisting and pushing them beyond the edge of then current rehab techniques.

‘TREATED ME LIKE ONE OF THEIR OWN CHILDREN’ “We were not only working out at the Steadman home, we were living there. Dr. Steadman and his wife, Gay, took me into their home and treated me like one of their own children,” said Olympic gold medal winner Phil Mahre. “He would get up early to work with us, make rounds, perform operations, see patients in the clinic, attend meetings and then come back home late that night to work with us again.”

I know the guys in that crew picture showing up in newspapers and websites this week.

Well, not them exactly.

That was us three decades ago, my crew on which I spent the better part of five years. I recognize the same mix of pumping up a little for posterity and laughing at the sheer silliness of it, too, in a light moment.

Wildland firefighters lean more toward wire than brawn, endurance over a weightlifter’s burst of strength. The hotshots’ business mainly is a marathon, with only the occasional sprint ... while carrying 30-40 pounds of gear and beating paths down to mineral earth through grass or brush or forest where fire engines, bull dozers and such can’t reach.

When hotshots die on the job, the news crews call them elite and maybe even heroes. When they pull into fire camp or a fast-food place, they are as likely to be mistaken for cons.

Don Rogers The reality is hard, dirty work. Dancing with My View big flames is rarer than you might think. Far more often you are hacking fireline along a charcoaled perimeter, taking away a wildfire’s opportunity to spring back to life, ready to retreat into black, already-burned-over ground if it does flare up.

If you do this work, your enduring memory will be the view of your headlamp through a dark night, old age’s weariness imposed upon your 25ish soul, the tee shirt under your yellow, crusty fireshirt soaking wet and whiteringed with salt and shivering even on warm nights when you take a break.

The thuds, plinks and scraping sounds rise and fall with the chainsaws revving up and down just ahead, conversation doing the same as the hours stretch out.

When you sleep, you’ll flinch as if swinging a “P,” Macleod or maybe even a sharpened shovel. You’ll dream of brush, stumps, roots, rock, dirt. Your wrists will ache if like I did, you run a super-P, a customized version of the combo ax-mattock that with the shovel has endured as a primary fire tool for 100 years.

There is no app for … that.

I won’t remember their names. I never met them. I’ve been off the line for almost 30 years. And I know these guys as brothers.

Some things don’t change.

I know this from the picture. It’s just like a bunch I have of my crew before blowing out a knee and meeting the young woman I’d later marry.

I also know choking smoke, confusion rising while in the wrong place, crazy wind gusts, fire taking off on the other side of the fireline, dodging runs at us, the edginess that comes with being any distance at all from active flames, watching a canyon we’d been in blowing out from the relative comfort of our safety zone, generally in the black soot where the fire had already been and we’d hustled to in time.

It’s nostalgia for me. Lucky me. My time on the LP Hotshots, one of the original five of

these crews that now number over 100 — minus one whole one now — forged my later life, no question.

Guys from my crew went on to become captains, chiefs, lawyers, professors, engineers, at least one doctor, a journalist, along with a couple who went on to … jail. It was a diverse group. Just before my time, we had the first woman on any hotshot crew.

I’m thinking tonight as I write about near the end of my last season, when I had an assignment as acting superintendent of the 20-person crew on a big “control” burn, which pretty much is the same thing as backfiring on a regular wildfire.

I sent a couple guys up a little opening in a cliff side to a mesa above a creek we were firing from. Fire acts as a magnet, so you want to get flames going inside the perimeter to attract the fire you eventually ignite at the line so that it goes the right way.

I was in that hyper aware state one is when you are risking someone else’s safety, and waved them down quickly.

We set fire then at the line.

The tornadic flash of flame came suddenly before it rose and chased the fire running on the plateau. I still feel the heat and the surprise. A little more punch there and perhaps we’d have been declared “elite” and “heroes” for my miscalculation even as we executed properly. There was no time to react.

Mother Nature impressed upon me how this goes. I still recall the moment like it just happened.

I remember this when I think about the crew in Arizona whose moment brought death. She’s a harsh judge, fire.

Assuredly they strayed too far from their safety zone, didn’t read a thunder cell’s wind shifts and gusts in time, as they had done correctly so often before.

I know this, too, looking at that picture. We weren’t better or smarter. Just luckier.

FIVE DECADES OF VAIL VALLEY REAL ESTATE EXPERIENCE.

A10 | Friday, July 5, 2013 | The Vail Daily

SUMMER

From page A3

“Now we have gondola rides, hiking and biking and a few activities, but this really turns it into a destination where guests can spend a day or multiple days using much more of the mountain than just the top of the gondolas.”

ATTRACTING MORE VISITORS Vail Resorts remains conservative about its growth estimates for the beginning of Epic Discovery, but company CEO Rob Katz said at the announcement of the project last summer that it would totally reshape the resort’s summer business, adding that the new mountain activities could help draw in at least some of the 3 million annual road trippers visiting Rocky Mountain National Park, for example, among other destination visitors.

He also envisions the activities to stretch Vail’s peak summer season from the traditional Fourth of July through late August period to early June through September.

For now, Jarnot expects modest increases in the beginning, but that’s not the primary focus early on.

“Initially, we’re really focused on getting people to stay (in town) longer — sort of penetrating folks who are already here in Vail and giving them more to do on the mountain than attracting more visitors initially,” Jarnot said. “As we build it and refine it and make it more of a destination, sure it’ll attract more people to Vail.”

ME ET

SEBASTIAN AN D EXPECT TH E U N EXPECTE D.

SOMETHING TO ‘HANG OUR HATS ON’ The Vail Valley Partnership’s President and CEO Chris Romer thinks Epic Discovery could be a “game-changer.”

“Epic Discovery could provide for the summer what the Back Bowls do for the winter — essentially, give us something completely unique to ‘hang our hat on’ and be known for,” Romer said. “The ‘soft adventure’ aspect of Epic Discovery and the connection with the Nature Conservancy could allow us to draw new guests who might typically have an affinity toward a national park visit.”

Vail Resorts’ plans want to strike the right balance between increasing visitation while also maintaining an experience that connects people with nature — something some Vail Mountain users think could be hard to do.

TURNING INTO DISNEY WORLD?

Snowballs in summer? When you own at The Sebastian – Vail, we see to everything, including occasionally, the impossible. Enjoy the most colorful and vibrant spot in the heart of Vail Village – lively dining and nightlife, a lavish spa and pools, spacious mountain-view residences and a slopeside Base Camp for summer and winter adventures.

“Do we live in the mountains or Disney World?,” commented Matt Jones on the Vail Daily’s Facebook page.

Others worry the summer growth will just equate to more traffic.

“Hopefully the plan also includes a train and/or teleporter to avoid four hours of I-70 traffic,” wrote Eric Singer.

In the mean time, Vail Mountain waits for Forest Service direction so it can then formally apply for the next phase of construction. Jarnot wanted to get most of that construction finished in time to operate everything in the summer of 2014, but the Forest Service’s pace at the federal level has shifted everything back about a year.

As Jarnot walked around the village this week, he could only smile as he thought about what Vail’s summers have already become.

“What an amazing place to be right now in Vail,” Jarnot said. “Everything from the climate to people riding their bikes and playing golf and hanging out in the village. We’ll just be adding more to that and turning the mountain into more of an opportunity for our guests.”

VAIL AMERICA DAYS

From page A2

Parade regulars like Karen Conklin, who’s been to every Vail America Days celebration since ’96, said getting a seat picked out early is key.

“We usually leave Eagle at 8 a.m. or so,” she said. “We get here about 8:30 or 8:40 and try to set up a good seat near the front.”

But despite the fact the parade attracts many of the same faces every year, for those people the experience can vary considerably.

Eleven-year-old Tatum Huffman, of Edwards, said even though she attends the event every year, she was looking forward to something different in 2013.

“I’m usually in the parade with the BMHS dance team, so it’s nice to be able to watch it as a spectator this year instead of participating,” she said.

The Vail America Days celebration continues throughout the weekend with concerts, athletic events, festival activities and more. For a complete schedule, pick up a copy of the Vail Daily Weekly or visit vailamericadays.com.

ROCK THE RESEARCH

EVENT DETAILS

From page A4

and immobilized in hard casts following similar injuries, the Steadman patients were moving, walking, running and sometimes skiing through a protected range of motion as part of their recovery.

“We were really his guinea pigs in the best sense of the word,” said Cooper-Tache, a skier who had a career that included five World Cup wins, six national titles, three World Championship medals and an Olympic silver medal.

These cases and thousands of others have been tirelessly documented in the institute’s unparalleled orthopedic research database, credited for being one of the largest in the world. Since those early days, Steadman and his colleagues have trained hundreds of physicians, shared the results of their research with thousands and impacted the lives of active people around the globe.

This year’s Rock the Research will support the vision. Proceeds from the fundraising concert will fund new areas of focused research into treatments for the institute.

Concert organizers are anticipating another sellout crowd for this summer with McCain’s debut appearance. McCain is a well-known alternative rocker. His band, the Edwin McCain Band, has released numerous albums with multiple top hits. Long-time touring friends with Hootie and the Blowfish, McCain will headline the event following several successful appearances by Darius Rucker, lead singer of Hootie. Registration begins at 4:30 p.m., the concert is at 6 p.m. and dinner and presentations begin at 7:15 p.m..

For more information on tickets, call Lynda Sampson at 970-479-1563 or visit rocktheresearch.com. You can follow The Steadman Philippon Research Institute on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ steadmanphilippon.

BUSINESS Mid-year check-in on the Vail Valley Partnership’s goals Based on my Facebook feed, it seems that many people are shocked that it’s already July; whether or not you choose to embrace it, our calendars tell us that it’s true — we are halfway through the year.

That provides a perfect time for a mid-year check in from the team at the Vail Valley Partnership and our various efforts to help achieve our mission: To take the leadership role to create and manage collaborative programs that encourage economic development and result in increased destination tourism in Eagle County.

Our mission leans heavily toward Chris Romer collaboration and the “greater good.”

Vail Valley It’s important for the Vail Valley PartPartnership nership — as a membership based chamber of commerce, destination marketing organization and economic development organization — to have strong return on investment to our stakeholders to ensure their engagement in our efforts. It is equally important — and much harder to measure — to provide a voice to our community and our business interests at a regional and statewide level to ensure that Eagle County isn’t forgotten about.

But I digress; we’ve been working hard at providing both tangible benefits and a larger voice to our community and I want to take a moment to share some key successes at the mid-year point.

LOCALLY: 1. We hosted dozens of groups, meetings and special events throughout the valley as a result of our group sales efforts, resulting in over 35,000 room nights through June and forecast to result in many more by the end of the year.

2. The Vail Valley Partnership has led the efforts to create the Economic Development Leadership Council, a working group of community members who are helping to redevelop Eagle County’s economic development plan and to help define future economic development efforts.

3. We have hosted numerous networking events, ranging from business after-hours mixers to breakfast scramblers.

We’ve partnered with other chamber and business groups when applicable, increasing our collaboration with the Gypsum and Eagle chambers, Minturn/Red Cliff Business Association, etc.

4. We have hosted a variety of educational programs and member orientations to ensure the business community is aware of various opportunities — stay tuned for our upcoming program with the Colorado Tourism Office, our annual Labor Law seminar with Sherman & Howard and our annual Business Forum with keynote speaker Ken Lund from the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (Save the date: July 30).

5. Increased engagement of the business community in our cost savings and marketing programs, designed to save operational costs and increase exposure to destination guests as well as the local community. These programs are all free to members — including our opt-in list of destination visitors (sent monthly to participating businesses).

6. We’ve enhanced our website listings and email confirmation letters to further promote our members.

7. We’ve been actively involved with the EGE Air Alliance, resulting in the new summer flight service to and from Houston.

REGIONALLY: 1. We increased our collaboration with the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments and their newly designated economic development district, ensuring Eagle County’s business community interests have a “seat at the table” in regional efforts.

2. Northwest Colorado Council of Governments is also embarking on a project to develop a Regional Strategic Plan for Broadband for an eight county area, which consists of Eagle, Garfield, Grand, Jackson, Moffat, Pitkin, Rio

VAIL VALLEY PARTNERSHIP, A15

The Vail Daily

VAIL VALLEY PARTNERSHIP

From page A14

Blanco, Routt, and Summit counties and the city of Glenwood Springs and town of Carbondale. The Partnership is actively engaged in this project.

3. The Vail Valley Partnership is also increasing our involvement with and engagement in the Colorado Rural Workforce Consortium, which helps set the workforce support tools available to the business community and those employees seeking work.

STATEWIDE: 1. The Vail Valley Partnership has been an active participant in the state-wide economic development planning, sitting on the key industry network for tourism and outdoor recreation.

2. Similarly, we have been participating in the Colorado Brand Council — a key component of the new statewide branding effort (details at makingcolorado.gov).

3. The Partnership has a strong relationship with the Colorado Tourism Office and

serves on various committees of industry partners, helping define CTO tactical efforts and working with their agencies to promote tourism to Colorado.

Is it important for our businesses, towns, special districts and others to be engaged at each of these levels?

Of course — but it’s not always realistic to expect each individual entity to do so (and even if it were, it would certainly result in quite a bit of duplication of time and services taking place).

The Vail Valley Partnership is working hard to provide both tangible benefits to our members as well as a voice to our business community at a regional and state level.

These efforts are all aimed to help achieve our mission to encourage economic development and increased destination tourism.

It’s a job we take seriously and it’s something, often intangible and not easily measured, that your membership helps support.

In the most dramatic step, authorities arrested the group’s revered leader from a seaside villa and flew him by helicopter to detention in the capital.

With a top judge newly sworn in as interim president to replace Morsi, the crackdown poses an immediate test to the new army-backed leadership’s promises to guide Egypt to democracy

Obama climate change push panned Obama climate change plan faces political, practical challenges amid coal industry criticism

By Steve Peoples Associated Press

BOW, N.H. — President Barack Obama’s push to fight global warming has triggered condemnation from the coal industry across the industrial Midwest, where state and local economies depend on the health of an energy sector facing strict new pollution limits.

But such concerns stretch even to New England, an environmentally focused region that long has felt the effects of drifting emissions from Rust Belt states.

Just ask Gary Long, the president of the Public Service Co. of New Hampshire, the state’s largest electric company.

Long says the president’s plan to impose limits on carbon dioxide emissions suddenly raises questions about the fate of the state’s two coal-fired power plants, electricity rates for millions of customers and the ability to find new energy sources.

And he also notes that New England has already invested billions of dollars in cleaner energy, agreed to cap its own carbon pollution and crafted plans to import Canadian hydroelectric power.

“New Hampshire’s always been ahead of the curve,” he says. “Does no good deed go unpunished?”

Long raised those concerns in the days after Obama launched a major secondterm drive to combat climate change, bypassing Congress by putting limits for the first time on carbon pollution from new and existing power plants. At the core of his plan are controls on power plants that emit carbon dioxide — heat-trapping

gases blamed for global warming.

Obama said the changes would reduce domestic carbon dioxide emissions by 17 percent between 2005 and 2020 and “put an end to the limitless dumping of carbon pollution.” The program also is to boost renewable energy production on federal lands, increase efficiency standards and prepare communities to deal with higher temperatures.

While the specific impact of Obama’s plans varies from region to region, energy industry officials across the nation warn of likely plant closures and electricity rate spikes, illustrating the practical and political challenges Obama faces while balancing the nation’s tepid economic recovery with an issue he says has dire implications for the planet’s future. Republican leaders, many still skeptical of the existence of man-made climate change, have seized on the potential short-term economic impact of what some call the president’s “war on coal” to criticize him and fellow Democrats.

The coal industry has been the most vocal opponent of the plan aside from Republican leaders and coal-state Democrats. Sen. Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, described the president’s policies last week as a “war on America.”

But Obama’s move was considered long overdue by environmentalists, a vocal segment of the Democratic Party base frustrated by Obama’s lack of progress on climate change.

“In New Hampshire, we’ve been waiting for this,” said Catherine Corkery, chapter director for the New Hampshire Sierra Club.

She described the industry concerns over plant closures and rates increases as “shortsighted,” predicting that thousands of new jobs focused on green energy development would replace those lost if fossil fuel plants are forced to close.

One of New Hampshire’s two coal-fired power plants churns out energy on Thursday in Bow, N.H. Since Obama announced strict rules on carbon dioxide emissions, it has raised questions about the fate of the coal-fired power plants.

“Gary Long and those other industry types — and the coal types — might not be psyched about this carbon standard, but everybody else is excited,” Corkery said.

Despite Corkery’s enthusiasm, and beyond the political posturing for 2014 congressional campaigns, there is real concern in small towns from New Hampshire

to West Virginia that depend on fossil-fuel production for their economic well-being.

Indeed, 650 miles from New Hampshire’s largest coal plant, employees at the Longview Power Plant in Maidsville, W.Va., fear the president is simply trying to shut down their operation.

“Our jobs are really on the line,” said Joseph Douglass, the environmental manager at the plant. It employs 95 people and has strong ties to local mines, quarries and trucking industries that employ as many as 500 more.

The facility is one of the nation’s newest and cleanest coal-fired power plants, with more than $500 million of its $2 billion price tag dedicated to environmental and air-quality controls.

Douglass said it does appear the administration is waging the “war on coal” that the industry has complained about for several years.

“Everybody wants to live in a clean and healthy environment. Everybody wants industry to do their best,” Douglass said. “We share, I think, more than we disagree about the need for a clean environment. But, you know, we have questions about some of the conclusions that have been reached and the direction that those conclusions are leading us in. Is this really the right thing to do?

We’re not sure.”

While West Virginia has more than 20 coal-fired plants, New Hampshire has just two.

With roughly 100 employees, New Hampshire’s biggest coal-fired plant, Merrimack Station, is “in a rough place,” according to Tim Sink, president of the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce.

“It’s just seems like they’re being forced

into a place where they may close the plant,” he said.

Asked whether his company may close Merrimack Station, Long said, “That’s an open question.”

“We don’t know the detail yet,” Long continued, wondering aloud whether the state’s natural gas and oil facilities would be affected. “We know that it’s going to lead to a lot of litigation and uncertainty.”

Energy officials may be the most vocal critics of the president’s push to crack down on global warming, but strong majorities of Americans polled say global warming is a problem.

An AP-GfK poll conducted last November found that 78 percent of Americans — including 70 percent of Republicans — believe the world’s temperature has been rising over the last 100 years.

If nothing is done to reduce global warming in the future, it will become a serious problem for the United States, said 80 percent of Americans — and 61 percent of Republicans.

About 97 percent of climate scientists around the world who study and publish on the issue agree the world is warming, it is caused by the burning of fossil fuels, and it is a major environmental problem.

But there is substantial disagreement among Americans over whether government should take action to combat global warming.

Just 33 percent of Republicans said the government should do quite a bit or a great deal about global warming, compared with 58 percent of independents and 75 percent of Democrats. And 41 percent of Republicans say that if the U.S. took action to reduce global warming, it would hurt the economy, compared with 29 percent of independents and 12 percent of Democrats.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama and his national security team tread delicately Thursday in the aftermath of the ouster of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, urging the restive nation to quickly return authority to a democratically elected civilian government and avoid violence. The administration still declined to take sides in the volatile developments as Egypt’s military installed an interim government leader.

Ahead of Washington’s Fourth of July fireworks, Obama met with his national security team in the White House situation room for briefings on their calls to Egyptian leaders and other partners in the region, National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said in a statement.

The carefully worded messages from the U.S. officials conveyed “the importance of a quick and responsible return of full authority to a democratically elected civilian government as soon as possible,” Meehan said.

The series of calls by Secretary of State

SAL E

Opponents of Egypt’s Islamist leader Mohammed Morsi celebrate outside the presidential palace in Cairo on Wednesday.

The Egyptian military ousted Morsi, who was Egypt’s first freely elected leader.

John Kerry, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and national security adviser Susan Rice went to officials from Egypt, Israel, Qatar, Turkey and Norway.

The U.S. officials also urged a transparent political process in Egypt and the avoidance of “any arbitrary arrests of President Morsi and his supporters,” Meehan said.

The delicate diplomacy highlights difficult policy choices for the administration: Denounce the oust of Morsi outright, and the U.S. could be accused of propping up a ruler who’s lost public’s support. It’s a prospect with eerie echoes of autocrat Hosni Mubarak, whom the U.S. supported for decades before the 2011 revolution that cleared the path for Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood.

EGYPT

From page A26 Or look the other way, and the U.S. could be accused of fomenting dissent or lose credibility on its commitment to the democratic process.

The administration is acting as if it accepts what happened in Egypt — and actually believes it could turn out for the best. At the same time, officials are attempting to keep their distance, laying down markers for what they want to see in the long term while leaving it up to the military to make sure that happens.

But the White House may also be concerned that in the short term, the situation could spiral out of hand, with the military using the clamoring in the streets as an excuse to confront the Muslim Brotherhood with excessive force.

In bringing up U.S. aid in conversations with Egyptians without cutting it off, the U.S. leaves itself room to escalate the situation if need be, but also to work with Egypt’s new government if it moves in the right direction.

After Morsi was forcibly removed from office, Obama said the U.S. would “not support particular individuals or political parties,” acknowledging the “legitimate grievances of the Egyptian people” while also observing that Morsi, an Islamist, won his office in a legitimate election.

“We believe that ultimately the future of Egypt can only be determined by the Egyptian people,” Obama said in a statement late Wednesday. “Nevertheless, we are deeply concerned by the decision of the Egyptian armed forces to remove President Morsi and suspend the Egyptian constitution.”

He notably stopped short of labeling Morsi’s ouster a coup, leaving himself some wiggle room to navigate a U.S. law that says the government must suspend foreign aid to any nation whose elected leader is ousted in a coup d’etat.

But Obama did say he was ordering the government to assess what the developments portended for aid to Cairo.

The U.S. considers the $1.5 billion a year it sends Egypt to be a critical U.S. national security priority.

“I now call on the Egyptian military to move quickly and responsibly to return full authority back to a democratically elected civilian government as soon as possible through an inclusive and transparent process, and to avoid any arbitrary arrests of President Morsi and his supporters,” Obama said.

Syria’s Assad boasts rival states failed to oust him Syrian President Bashar Assad says opponents cannot oust him, Syria has not been subject to revolution

By Albert Aji and Barbara Surk Associated Press

DAMASCUS, Syria — Syrian President Bashar Assad said in an interview published Thursday that his government had fended off everything his enemies had thrown at him and that the only remaining threat to his rule was a far-off — and improbable — foreign intervention.

In comments to the state-run Al-Thawra newspaper, Assad rejected the idea that what has transpired in Syria for more than two years is a revolution. Instead, he reiterated his past claims that it is a conspiracy

by Western and some Arab states to destabilize his country.

He also praised this week’s massive protests by Egyptians against their Islamist leader and said the overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi meant the end of “political Islam.”

In Syria, more than 93,000 people have been killed since the conflict erupted in March 2011. The crisis began with peaceful protests against Assad’s rule, then morphed into civil war after some opposition supporters took up arms to fight a brutal government crackdown on dissent.

Syrian President Bashar Assad, center, speaks during an interview published with the state-run Al-Thawra newspaper, in Damascus, Syria, Thursda. Assad said that countries conspiring against Syria have “used up all their tools” in their campaign to overthrow his regime. their homes.

Throughout the crisis, Assad has insisted that his government is not facing a popular rebellion, but rather a Western-backed conspiracy against Syria, accusing the rebels fighting to topple his regime of being terrorists, Islamic extremists and mercenaries of the oil-rich Arab Gulf states that are allies of the United States.

“The countries that conspire against Syria have used up all their tools — moral, material and psychological — and they have nothing left except direct (military) intervention and this is too big for them to attain,” Assad said in the interview.

ASSAD

From page A28 He did not elaborate, but the Obama administration is reluctant to mire the U.S. military in another unpredictable conflict and its allies are unwilling to engage military in Syria alone.

The Assad regime says Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Turkey, in addition to the U.S. and its European allies, are on the list of countries conspiring against Syria. These states have been chief supporters of the opposition fighting to overthrow Assad.

The Syrian president’s comments coincided with a crushing military offensive on the central city of Homs and a meeting of the Western-backed Syrian National Coalition in Istanbul.

It was the second attempt in as many months by Assad’s opponents to unify their ranks.

The Western-backed opposition bloc is primarily composed of exiled politicians with little support from Syrians trying to survive the third summer of conflict in a country that has been devastated by the fighting.

Homs, Syria’s third-largest city, has been hard hit by fighting over the past two years.

The government controls much of the city, while several neighborhoods in the center of town remain opposition strongholds. A military offensive in the area that is part of the country’s heartland is now in its fifth day.

Khaled Saleh, a SNC spokesman, said the situation in Homs has “deteriorated tremendously” and warned that the fall of the city will jeopardize any political solution for the country. Speaking to reporters in Istanbul, he said the Syrian regime “has its mind set on taking Homs even if that means killing tens of thousands of people.”

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has urged both sides to avoid harming some 2,500 civilians he said remain in the besieged, rebel-held parts of the Homs.

The Syrian government asked the International Committee of the Red Cross Thursday to send relief aid to those trapped by the “terrorist groups” in Homs and evacuate them through safe passages to be provided by the government, according to a Foreign Ministry statement published by the state news agency.

Sarah Karkour, a spokeswoman for the SNC, said that acting leader George Sabra and senior opposition figures Louay Safi and Mustafa Sabbagh are topping the list of candidates for the new leadership, including an interim government.

In late May, the opposition leaders met for more than a week in Istanbul, but failed to elected new leaders or devise a strategy for possible peace talks that the U.S. and Russia have been trying to convene in Geneva.

Assad has repeatedly dismissed his political opponents as foreign-directed exiles who don’t represent the people of Syria. He has also shrugged off calls to step down, saying he will serve the rest of his term and could consider running for another one in next year’s presidential elections.

In recent weeks, the Syrian army has been waging an offensive to regain control of territory it lost to the opposition, particularly in Homs but also around the capital Damascus and in the country’s north.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported heavy clashes between government troops and rebels on Thursday in the Khaldiyeh and Bab Houd districts of Homs, and said regime warplanes repeatedly hit targets there throughout the day.

Rebels have held those districts for the past year.

Afghans fighting alone for hotly contested border area

By Kristin M. Hall Associated Press

NARI DISTRICT, Afghanistan — This former American military base in northeastern Afghanistan was a critical launching pad during the troop surge to fight Taliban militants, but the pace of fighting in this key border area remains high even after the Afghan military has taken over.

The base in the Nari district of Kunar province was once called Forward Operating Base Bostick and sits at the bottom of a picturesque river valley flanked by terraced farms and high mountain ridges. It is now controlled by the Afghan National Army, who is solely responsible for maintaining security in northern Kunar and Nuristan along the Pakistan border.

These provinces remain a strategically important, but contested, front in the ongoing war. Added to that is the rising tension between Afghanistan and Pakistan over recent cross border attacks. The Afghan security forces are facing their first summer fighting without American ground or air support, and the insurgents struck a deadly first blow by overrunning an outpost near the main base in Nari district earlier this spring, killing 13 Afghan soldiers.

Two years after the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division launched multiple operations in Kunar to clear out entrenched Taliban safe havens, the brigade returned with a small contingent of advisers to guide the Afghans as they fight in one of the country’s most difficult

regions.

U.S. Army adviser Capt. Blake Richter, a 31-year-old from Savannah, Ga., knows the Kunar River valleys and the danger that they contain. His unit, 1st Battalion, 32nd Cavalry Regiment, was based at Bostick during the troop surge in 2010.

During the surge, coalition forces targeted key Taliban leaders and opened up valleys where the Afghan government had no presence before, but the insurgency still remains highly active in these areas on the border.

WASHINGTON — In noisy, energetic New York City, the pilots of a spindly plane that looks more toy than jet hope to grab attention in a surprising way: By being silent and consuming little energy.

This revolutionary solar-powered plane is about to end a slow and symbolic journey across America by quietly buzzing the Statue of Liberty and landing in a city whose buildings often obscure the powergiving sun.

The plane’s top speed of 45 mph is so pokey, it would earn honks on the New Jersey Turnpike.

The plane is called Solar Impulse. And it leaves from Washington on a commuterlike hop planned for Saturday, depending on the weather. It will take hours for the journey and offers none of the most basic comforts of flying.

But that’s OK. The aircraft’s creators say its purpose really has little to do with flying.

They view themselves as green pioneers — promoting lighter materials, solar-powered batteries, and conservation as sexy and adventurous. Theirs is the high-flying equivalent of the Tesla electric sports car.

They want people to feel a thrill while saving the planet. Think Charles Lindbergh meets Rachel Carson.

And if there’s one person who knows about adventure and what it means to Earth, it’s Bertrand Piccard.

He’s one of the two pilots who take turns

The Solar Impulse, piloted by Andre Borschberg, takes flight at dawn from Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix.

The spindly no-fuel plane started its crosscountry journey May 3 from San Francisco. flying Solar Impulse. His grandfather was the first man to see the curve of the Earth as a pioneering high-altitude balloon flier more than 80 years ago.

His father more than half a century ago first took a submarine to the deepest and most inaccessible ocean trench on Earth.

And now in the 21st Century outside the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum annex not too far from a retired space shuttle, Piccard says there’s no truly new place on Earth for explorers to pioneer. At 55, he’s tried.

He already was the first person to fly around the world non-stop in a balloon, but that wasn’t really enough. So Piccard found a way to explore by looking inward and acting globally.

GOP has tough choices to make on Voting Rights Act

By Bill Barrow Associated Press

ATLANTA — When the U.S. Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights act last week, it handed Republicans tough questions with no easy answers over how, and where, to attract voters even GOP leaders say the party needs to stay nationally competitive.

The decision caught Republicans between newfound state autonomy that conservatives covet and the law’s popularity among minority, young and poor voters who tend to align with Democrats. It’s those voters that Republicans are eyeing to expand and invigorate the GOP’s core of older, white Americans.

National GOP Chairman Reince Priebus began that effort well before the court’s decision by promising, among other initiatives, to hire non-white party activists to engage directly with black and Latino voters. Yet state and national Republicans reacted to the Voting Rights Act decision with a flurry of activity and comments that may not fit neatly into the national party’s vision.

Congressional leaders must decide whether to try to rewrite the provision the court struck, but it’s not clear how such an effort would fare in the Democratic-led Senate and the GOP-controlled House.

And at the state level, elected Republicans are enacting tighter voting restrictions that Democrats blast as harmful to their traditional base of supporters and groups the

Chief Justice John Roberts speaks in Farmington, Pa. about the Voting Rights act last week.

Republicans say they want to attract.

States like North Carolina and Virginia provide apt examples of the potential fallout. An influx of non-whites have turned those Republican strongholds into battlegrounds in the last two presidential elections, and minority voters helped President Barack Obama win both states in 2008 and Virginia again in 2012. Nationally, Republican Mitt Romney lost among AfricanAmericans by about 85 percentage points and Latinos by about 44 percentage points, margins that virtually ensure a Democratic victory.

Yet presidential math doesn’t necessarily motivate Republicans who control statehouses and congressional districts in states most affected by the Voting Rights Act.

VOTING RIGHTS

From page A33

Core GOP supporters in the region react favorably to voter identification laws and broad-based critiques of federal authority.

Against that backdrop, Southern Republicans celebrated Chief Justice John Roberts’ opinion that effectively frees all or parts of 15 states with a history of racial discrimination from having to get advanced federal approval for any election procedure.

The so-called “preclearance” provision anchored the law that Congress renewed four times since its 1965 passage as the crowning achievement of the civil rights movement for black Americans. The law contains an “opt-out” provision that allowed a jurisdiction to ask a federal court for release from preclearance if it has established a record of non-discrimination.

Roberts said that process — never used successfully by an entire state — wasn’t enough.

“The court recognized that states can fairly design our own (district) maps and run our own elections without the federal government,” Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said in a statement.

Citizens can still sue to overturn state laws, but they’ll likely have to prove discrimination after the fact, rather than

local authorities having to convince federal officials in advance that a law wouldn’t discriminate.

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, a Republican running for governor, said: “I do not believe we have the institutional bigotry like we had before.”

GOP officials in Texas and Mississippi promised within hours of the decision to enforce new laws requiring voters to show identification at polls. The U.S. Justice Department’s civil rights lawyers had frozen the Mississippi law while they considered effects on minority voters, while a panel of federal judges in Washington blocked the Texas law because of its potential to harm low-income and minority voters. North Carolina Republicans said they’d enact their own voter identification law. Texas Gov. Rick Perry signed new congressional district maps — tilted to Republican advantage — that federal authorities would have had to review.

But in Washington, Republicans like House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia embraced the nuances of Roberts’ ruling. The court didn’t actually strike down preclearance, instead tossing rules that determined which jurisdictions got oversight. Congress is free to rewrite those parameters and revive advance review, Roberts wrote.

Statue of Liberty reopens

URBAN NAILS 2 HAS MOVED TO AVON NEXT TO AGAVE

By Colleen Long Associated Press

NEW YORK — The Statue of Liberty reopened on the Fourth of July, eight months after Superstorm Sandy shuttered the national symbol of freedom, as Americans around the country celebrated with fireworks and parades and President Obama urged citizens to live up to the words of the Declaration of Independence.

Hundreds lined up Thursday to be among the first to board boats destined for Lady Liberty, including New Yorker Heather Leykam and her family.

“This, to us, Liberty Island, is really about a rebirth,” said Leykam, whose mother’s home was destroyed during the storm. “It is a sense of renewal for the city and the country. We wouldn’t have missed it for the world.”

Nationwide, Boston prepared to host its first large gathering since the marathon bombing that killed three and injured hundreds, and Philadelphia, Washington and New Orleans geared up for large holiday concerts. A Civil War reenactment commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg drew as many as 40,000 people to Pennsylvania. In Arizona, sober tributes were planned for 19 firefighters who died this week battling a blaze near Yarnell.

Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, speaking at the reopening of the Statue of Liberty, choked up as she told the crowd she was wearing a purple ribbon in memory of the fallen firefighters.

“Nineteen firefighters lost their lives in the line of duty, and we as a nation stand together,” she said through tears.

The island was decorated with star-spangled bunting, but portions remain blocked off with large construction equipment, and the main ferry dock was boarded up.

Repairs to brick walkways and docks were ongoing. But much of the work has been completed since Sandy swamped the 12acre island in New York Harbor, and visitors were impressed.

“It’s stunning, it’s beautiful,” said Elizabeth Bertero, 46, of California’s Sonoma County. “They did a great job rebuilding. You don’t really notice that anything happened.”

The statue itself was unharmed, but the land took a beating. Railings broke, docks and paving stones were torn up and buildings were flooded.

COLORADO Denver police arrest two at rally protesting NSA spying The rally part of a national protest against government spying; Large group marched from near capitol to 16th Street Mall.

By Lynn Bartels

THE INCCIDENT WITH POLICE

The Denver Post

Denver police arrested two people Thursday after clashes with protesters upset over spying by the U.S. government.

Some protestors carried signs railing against the National Security Agency, while others swore at police in riot gear patrolling near the state Capitol.

“Tell me, what does a police state look like?” one woman continually yelled.

“This is what a police state looks like!” another hollered back.

downtown in a small crowd and then joined with others there.

Police Lt. Adam Hernandez said officers were instructed to don riot gear when the crowd got bigger and “we needed a little bit of assistance.”

“They got everybody back on the sidewalks,” Hernandez said. “Everybody was compliant.”

The rally — part of a protest nationally against government spying — appeared to be loosely organized, but grew larger as protesters marched from near the capitol to the 16th Street Mall.

Some in the crowd said they found out about the event on various Facebook pages or other internet sites. They arrived

He said he didn’t know the names of the two who were arrested or the charges they face, but one protester said the arrests followed an incident with a police officer on a motorcycle.

The protests are part of a national movement called “Restore the Fourth.” The Fourth Amendmentguards against unreasonable searches and seizures.

One notice about Denver says: “Ok. Here’s the deal guys. July 4th, we’re going to have a protest at the Capitol Building.

Starting at 10 AM. Be sure to bring as many as you can, and let’s make a racket!

We’ll be sure to let Washington know that Colorado won’t keep quiet. Can I count on seeing you there?”

Another person pointed out that permits are needed, and the process takes approximately a month, prompting someone to write “this is going to be a peaceful protest.”

West Fork Fire grows, evacuations remain Associated Press

PAGOSA SPRINGS, Colo. — The West Fork Fire complex burning in southern Colorado grew to more than 160 square miles Thursday.

Firefighters say the complex intensified, spreading across an additional 17 square miles, and remained about 16 percent contained. The West Fork complex is made of three wildfires — the Papoose, West Fork and Windy Pass fires. The fires are burning between the cities of Creede, South Fork and Pagosa Springs. They’re being fueled by beetle-killed spruce.

The fires have burned through a sulfur pit mine, setting up the potential for dangerous fumes, The Denver Post reported Thursday.

But Bobby Kitchens, the spokesman for the Type 1 Incident Management Team, said no one was injured.

“We didn’t have anybody there so that’s not really a problem for us,” he said.

Firefighters were able to defend some structures flanking the flareup, Kitchens said, which is a main

objective in fighting the blaze in such steep, rugged terrain.

“We always report percent containment and that’s always a thing that everybody hangs their hat on, but in this case this is not our goal,” he said. “Our goal is to protect life and property, and we’ve been pretty successful in that.”

Kitchens said some communities around the fire, such as Spar City on the east end of the Papoose Fire and some areas around Humphrey’s Lake near the West Fork Fire, remain evacuated. People from the town of South Fork were able to return to their homes Friday after being evacuated.

Kitchens said even once the flames die down and folks return home, smoke will be visible and the threat will continue.

“It’s not over,” he said.

AURORA

Fireworks blamed for brush fire at Great Plains Park Aurora firefighters say fireworks are to blame for igniting a small brush fire at

Great Plains Park on the Fourth of July.

KMGH-TV reports that two brothers will be fined for allegedly setting off a model rocket that started the 3-acre fire Thursday.

After an investigation, it was determined a model rocket was to blame for starting the 3-acre fire.

The Aurora Fire Department said a model rocket is not considered fireworks, but is still illegal. No one was injured in the brush fire.

PUEBLO

Souther Colorado Tea party fine upheld by appeals court The Colorado Court of Appeals has upheld a $10,000 campaign finance fine against the Southern Colorado Tea Party.

Wednesday’s court order means the group will have to pay the fine for failing to file campaign finance reports about political contributions in 2010.

The group unsuccessfully claimed that it was not a political committee and didn’t need to file the finance reports.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland — A day after Madrid wowed the IOC with its presentation, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said concerns over Spain’s economy “don’t exist anymore” and he will go to Argentina in September for the vote on the host city for the 2020 Olympics.

Rajoy met with IOC President Jacques Rogge on Thursday to show his government’s support for the Madrid bid, which picked up vital momentum a day earlier with its campaign pitch to the IOC general assembly.

Tokyo and Istanbul also made strong presentations, but it was Madrid that made the most impact with a show-stealing speech

by Crown Prince Felipe, a former Olympic sailor and Spain’s flag-bearer at the opening ceremony of the 1992 Barcelona Games.

Once viewed as a long shot because of Spain’s severe economic crisis, Madrid is considered firmly in contention going into the final phase of the race before the Sept. 7 vote in Buenos Aires. The Spanish capital is bidding for a third consecutive time.

“We have very high hopes indeed,” Rajoy said. “This time around, Spain is in a really good position.”

Madrid finished third in the voting for the 2012 Olympics and second for 2016. Rajoy attended those votes in Singapore and Copenhagen, Denmark, when he was leader of the opposition.

Rajoy will travel to Argentina straight

“I am making the effort to go to Buenos Aires because that is the last push,” he said.

“I am delighted to go because I want us to win.”

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan or President Abdullah Gul is expected to be in Buenos Aires for the Istanbul bid, with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe representing Tokyo.

The state of Spain’s economy had been seen as a major weakness for Madrid’s bid, with the country facing recession for most of the past four years and an unemployment rate of 27 percent. But Madrid says it already has 80 percent of its Olympic venues in place and would spend only $1.9 billion on construction for the games.

Gainey, Wagner start tourney off hot at Greenbrier Classic

DINNER MENU

Gainey finished the round at 8-under-par-62

$39

By John Raby Associated Press

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — The mustache is gone, and for one round at least, Johnson Wagner also didn’t have to deal with playing bad golf.

Wagner and Tommy Gainey each shot an 8-under 62 on Thursday to share a two-stroke lead after the first round of the Greenbrier Classic.

Webb Simpson and Jin Park were close behind after 64s. Daniel Summerhays, Tag Ridings, Steven Bowditch and 50-year-old Neal Lancaster were another shot back.

Players were able to lift, clean and place their balls Thursday after rain fell prior to the start of play.

Gainey and Wagner had bogey-free rounds in the morning. Wagner was 8 under after 12 holes but finished with six straight pars. Both could use a good week — Gainey is 125th in season tour winnings, while Wagner ranks 148th.

Wagner doesn’t have a top-10 finish this year and the three-time tour champion hasn’t won since the 2012 Sony Open. In his last seven tournaments, he’s missed six cuts and withdrew from the Memorial.

“The last couple of months have been really hard,” Wagner said. “I just haven’t been much fun to be around. It’s just been tough.

Nobody likes to be bad at what they do, especially golfers.”

A product of Virginia Tech — which is less than two hours from the Old White TPC course — Wagner chipped in for eagle on the par-5 12th, then finished with six straight pars.

“I’ve been disappointed with 76s and 79s the last month, so I’m very happy to be disappointed with a 62 today,” said Wagner, who shaved his well-talked-about mustache in a nod to his wife for their seventh wedding anniversary on Monday.

“I didn’t get her a gift. So I thought

The mustache will return at some point.

“I love irritating my wife too much to let it go for too long,” he said.

Gainey’s first PGA Tour victory came last fall at the McGladrey Classic, but like Wagner he has missed more cuts than he’s made this year.

Nicknamed “Two Gloves” for wearing gloves on both hands, Gainey had a serious talk with his wife, two other family members and his agent in the past month to try to figure out how to turn around his bad fortunes. Gainey said he had stopped having fun on the course.

“I had gotten away from that and I’m trying to get back into that now,” he said.

“I felt like I knew what was going on. I was putting too much pressure on myself.”

Not Thursday, when he missed just one fairway with a new driver in his bag.

“Hitting out of the rough is no fun,” Gainey said. “Trust me, I’ve been doing it

Maple Leafs waive Grabovski; New Jersey re-signing Elias

By John Wawrow Associated Press

Patrik Elias is staying in New Jersey, while five players, including Toronto’s Mikhail Grabovski, are on the move after their teams placed them on unconditional waivers Thursday.

The Devils re-signed Elias to a threeyear, $16.5 million contract, locking up the franchise’s career goals and points leader a day before he was eligible to become an unrestricted free agent. New Jersey also resigned veteran forward Dainius Zubrus to a three-year, $9.3 million contract.

Elias’ agent, Allan Walsh, announced the terms of the deal on Twitter.

A person familiar with Zubrus’ contract revealed the terms to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the Devils didn’t disclose those numbers.

The Maple Leafs announced their intention to part ways with Grabovski by placing him on waivers with the intention of buying out the final four years of his contract.

“It was not an easy decision to make as Mikhail made numerous contributions to

our hockey club,” Toronto general manager Dave Nonis said. “This is a roster move that will give us salary cap flexibility moving forward.”

The Maple Leafs’ decision to waive Grabovski came after they signed him to a five-year, $27.5 million contract in March.

A person familiar with the moves told the AP that New Jersey goalie Johan Hedberg, Colorado defenseman Greg Zanon, Nashville defenseman Hal Gill and Edmonton center Eric Belanger were also placed on unconditional waivers and are eligible to have their contracts bought out.

The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the NHL doesn’t announce the moves. Players who have contracts bought out on compliance buyouts don’t count against the salary cap. They do receive two-thirds of their remaining salary spread out over double the years left on the deals.

Grabovski is a three-time 20-goal scorer, but he is coming off an inconsistent season in which he had nine goals and seven assists in 48 games. His best season came with Toronto in 2010-11 when he had 29 goals and 29 assists in 81 games.

Greipel wins sixth stage, SAfrica’s Impey leads Tour

SUMMER 2013

Daryl Impey becomes first South African ever to wear the famed yellow jersey

By John Leicester Associated Press

TUESday, JUly 23

Grammy award Winning

MONTPELLIER, France — Stage 6 of the 100th Tour de France was a textbook demonstration of teamwork.

Like playing pass the parcel, an Australian deliberately handed over the race lead to help a South African teammate and friend become the first rider from that country to wear the famed yellow jersey.

And Andre Greipel, who won the stage with a fierce finishing sprint, owed a debt of gratitude to teammates who plied him with drinks all afternoon, ferrying bottles back and forth from cars at the back of the race, so he didn’t melt in the scorching sun.

“Room service,” the big German said light-heartedly.

As the new leader of cycling’s showcase race, Daryl Impey can look forward to some first-class treatment, too. Being the first South African to wear the yellow jersey “will definitely change my life,” he said.

Rugby, cricket and, for the majority black population, football, are the big sports for South Africans. Impey can shop in the malls of Johannesburg, where he trains and lives, without being

But that was before his buddy on the Orica GreenEdge team, Simon Gerrans, passed him the race lead at the Tour.

“Wearing the yellow jersey now is definitely going to change things for cycling, put it on the map in South Africa,” said Impey. “Hopefully people will start recognizing me, maybe.”

Gerrans knows the feeling. To wear canary yellow at the Tour is to be king for a day — or more depending on how long the rider keeps the lead.

Gerrans had it for two unforgettable days. Fans clapped and cheered when they saw him. Reporters chased him. A particularly boisterous crowd of Aussie fans played air guitar for him.

America’s Cup champ Coutts defends sailing rules changes New Zeland, Italy protest new safety measures

By Bernie Wilson Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Not long after helping to sail one of the new America’s Cup catamarans around ghostly San Francisco Bay, four-time winner Russell Coutts scoffed at accusations by two foreign challengers that defending champion Oracle Team USA is benefiting from safety changes.

Coutts, the CEO of Oracle Team USA, also defended regatta director Iain Murray, who said Wednesday that he was frustrated that Emirates Team New Zealand and Italy’s Luna Rossa have protested his ability to recommend safety changes following the death of Andrew “Bart” Simpson in the capsize of Artemis Racing’s 72-foot catamaran on May 9.

The Kiwis and Italians are

unhappy with Murray’s requirement that the high-performance boats have deeper rudders with larger winglets to give them additional stability.

Team New Zealand’s protest is set to be heard Monday, a day after the Kiwis face Luna Rossa in the opening race of the Louis Vuitton Cup for challengers.

If the jury sides with the two teams, Murray said he has “no choice but to go back to the Coast Guard and inform them that the safety plan hasn’t been met and a discussion will have to be had whether the permit to race stands or doesn’t stand. Without a permit to race on San Francisco Bay, there will be no racing.”

Team New Zealand and Luna Rossa have suggested that the changes to the rudders will aid Oracle, which doesn’t have to race until the opener of the 34th America’s Cup on Sept. 7. The changes to the rudders were among 37 safety suggestions

“They’re making these accusations as if we’re having to do

things because we’re not confident about winning,” Coutts told The Associated Press at Oracle’s headquarters in a massive old shipping warehouse on Pier 80.

“I’m confident in our team. I think we’ve got the best sailing

team out there and I think we’ve proven that over the last two years. Frankly, I think we have the best technology. But even if we had even technology, I’d be betting on us because I think our team has proven we’re better than them.”

Coutts is the most dominant skipper in America’s Cup history.

He sailed undefeated through three straight America’s Cup matches, the first two with his native New Zealand and the third with Alinghi of Switzerland. His fourth victory came in 2010 while serving as BMW Oracle Racing’s CEO, although he didn’t sail on the boat in either race.

Oracle Team USA is loaded with former America’s Cup winners and Olympic gold medalists.

Ben Ainslie, the most successful sailor in Olympic history with four straight gold medals and a silver, is helmsman of Oracle’s backup boat while Jimmy Spithill steers the syndicate’s newest boat.

for the past three years.”

Wagner admitted he had thoughts of shooting 59. Gainey knows what it’s like to flirt with the magic number, which only five players have attained in official PGA Tour events.

At the inaugural Greenbrier Classic in 2010, Stuart Appleby shot 59 in the final round to win at 22 under. With favorable scoring conditions this week, there’s already talk about surpassing that. On Thursday, the top eight scores produced just nine total bogeys.

“I believe you can get to at least 20 (under) this week,” Gainey said. “It depends on how much rain we get and how much softer this course gets.”

Lancaster’s lone PGA Tour win came at the 1994 Byron Nelson Classic. He’s won $83,000 in five Champions Tour events this year. With an early second-round tee time, he knew where he was heading after Thursday’s round.

“To bed. Fifty-year-old guys don’t want to play golf at 7:20 in the morning,” he said.

Among those at 2 under were Bill Haas, coming off a win at Congressional last week, and Ryan Palmer, whose caddie is New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton.

DATELINE July 5 1947 — Larry Doby becomes the first black to play in the American League. He strikes out as a pinch-hitter for the Cleveland Indians in a 6-5 loss to the Chicago White Sox. 1952 — Maureen Connolly wins her first of three straight women’s singles title at Wimbledon, defeating Louise Brough 6-4, 6-3.

1968 — Australia’s Rod Laver wins the first open Wimbledon tennis championship, defeating countryman Tony Roche 6-3, 6-4, 6-2. Laver becomes the first player since Fred Perry (193436) to win the men’s title three straight times.

1980 — Bjorn Borg of Sweden wins his fifth men’s title at Wimbledon, defeating John McEnroe 1-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-7, 8-6.

1992 — Andre Agassi beats Goran Ivanisevic 6-7 (8-10), 6-4, 6-4, 1-6, 6-4 in the Wimbledon men’s final to win his first Grand Slam title.

1993 — Rickey Henderson of the Oakland Athletics opens both games of a doubleheader with a homer to become the first player to accomplish the feat in 60 years.

1996 — Frankie Fredericks edges Michael Johnson to win the men’s 200 meters at the Bislett Games in Norway, snapping the American world champion’s winning streak of 21 races.

Gagne comes in with a 5-3 lead at the start of the ninth but allows pinch-hitter Luis Gonzalez’s RBI double and Chad Tracy’s run-scoring single on an 0-2 pitch.

2009 — Roger Federer wins his record 15th Grand Slam title when he outlasts Andy Roddick for his sixth Wimbledon championship in a marathon match that went to 16-14 in the fifth set.

Federer serves 50 aces and overcomes the resilient Roddick 5-7, 7-6 (6), 7-6 (5), 3-6, 16-14 to break the record of major titles he shared with Pete Sampras.

Not my taco Associated Press

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — That was no burrito.

Three people who ordered food at a Taco Bell drive-thru in western Michigan got something more valuable: $3,600 in cash.

A Taco Bell employee mistakenly passed the cash to the trio instead of their food Saturday. The money was returned a short time later.

Kennidi Rue told WZZM-TV and MLive.com that she and two friends thought about keeping the money but decided they would feel guilty if they didn’t return it.

Grand Rapids police Capt. Jeff Hertel confirmed the incident, saying an officer was called to assist.

“I thought it was joke,” said Rue, 18, of Holland, Mich. “I thought we were on camera. ... The store manager literally just burst out in tears. She was so happy we brought it back.”

The money was in a store bag for deposit at a bank. A message seeking comment was left with Taco Bell.

Rue, boyfriend Grant Kruse, 20, and another friend, Luke Postma, 25, got their meal when they returned the money.

Kruse and Postma are National Guard members who were in Grand Rapids for training.
