Cell phone law to be signed in Fort Collins By Pamela Dickman

Reporter-Herald Staff Writer

After a Fort Collins child was killed by a driver who was talking on her cell phone, legislators pushed to make talking and driving without a hands-free device illegal. Tonight, Gov. Bill Ritter will visit Fort Collins to sign a new law that does just that. House Bill 1094 — sparked by the Thanksgiving death of

9-year-old Erica Forney — requires adult drivers to use hands-free devices when talking on cell phones. Those 18 or younger as well as taxi and bus drivers will prohibited from talking on cell phones altogether. Ritter will sign the law during an evening town meeting with Reps.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — First there was surgery, then chemotherapy and radiation. Now, doctors have overcome 30 years of false starts and found success with a fourth way to fight cancer: using the body’s natural defender, the immune system. The approach is called a cancer vaccine, although it treats the disease rather than prevents it. At a cancer conference Sunday, researchers said one such vaccine kept a

WICHITA, Kan. — Dr. George Tiller, one of the nation’s few providers of lateterm abortions despite decades of protests and attacks, was shot and killed Sunday in a church where he was serving as an usher. The gunman fled, but a 51-year-old suspect was detained some 170 miles away in suburban Kansas City three hours after the shooting, Wichita Deputy Police Chief Tom Stolz said. Although Stolz refused to release the man’s name, Johnson County sheriff’s spokesman Tom Erickson identified the detained man as Scott Roeder. He has not been charged in the slaying and was expected to be taken to Wichita for questioning. — The Associated Press

Police arrest Loveland man after robbery near CSU FORT COLLINS — Fort Collins police have arrested a man suspected of breaking into a home south of Colorado State University, threatening one of the men inside with a knife and stealing several items. Police said Sunday that 22-year-old Jovon Justin Roberts of Loveland was arrested on suspicion of first-degree burglary, aggravated robbery and first-degree kidnapping. Police say the suspect entered the home of three 20-year-old men around 5:35 a.m. Saturday and took electronics, cash and one victim’s wallet before leaving in a 2005 silver Dodge Durango. All of the stolen items have been recovered. A phone number for Roberts could not be found. — The Associated Press

Feathered identity thief: Parrot takes off with passport WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Polly wants a passport — and isn’t above stealing one. A brazen parrot, which spotted a Scottish man’s passport in a colored bag in the luggage compartment under a tour bus, nabbed the document and made off into dense bush with it, a New Zealand newspaper reported Friday. The bird — a parrot of the Kea variety — made its move while the bus was stopped along the highway to Milford Sound on South Island, and the driver was looking through the compartment. Milford Sound is part of Fiordland National Park, a world heritage site and major travel destination. Police told the newspaper the passport is unlikely to be located in the vast Fiordland rain forest. — The Associated Press

Vaccines against several cancers have had positive results

From Page A1 common form of lymphoma from worsening for more than a year. That’s huge in this field, where progress is glacial and success with a new treatment is often measured in weeks or even days. Experimental vaccines against three other cancers — prostate, the deadly skin disease melanoma and an often fatal childhood tumor called neuroblastoma — also gave positive results in late-stage testing in recent weeks, after decades of struggles in the lab. “I don’t know what we did differently to make the breakthrough,” said Dr. Len Lichtenfeld of the American Cancer Society. Instead of a single “A-Ha!” moment, there have been many “ah, so” discoveries about the immune system that now seem to be paying off, said Dr. John Niederhuber, director of the National Cancer Institute. It’s way too soon to declare victory. No one knows how long the benefits will last, whether people will need “boosters” to keep their disease in check, or whether vaccines will ever be a cure. Many vaccines must be custom-made for each patient. How practical will that be, and what will it cost?

LAW:

4 others will be signed in Greeley From Page A1 Bill 1164, creating an economic opportunity poverty tax force; House Bil 1282, creating an electronic device recycling task force; and House Bill 1349, giving more information to those who wish continue health care insurance after they lose employment. Earlier Monday, Ritter also will sign four other bills into law after speaking at a Greeley Chamber of Commerce luncheon. Those are: House Bill 1035, regarding tax breaks for makers of clean technology medical devices; House Bill 1173, creating a fund to enforce laws against contraband cigarettes and tobacco products; Senate Bill 26, regulating athletic trainers; and Senate Bill 290, concerning notifications of capital construction by the state’s colleges and universities.

Those are all good questions — but there are no answers yet, said Dr. Richard Schilsky, a University of Chicago cancer specialist who is president of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Several vaccine studies were reported over the weekend at the oncology group’s annual meeting in Florida. A big problem has been getting the immune system to “see” cancer as a threat, said Dr. Patrick Hwu, melanoma chief at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Viruses like the flu or polio are easily spotted by the immune system because they look different from human cells. “But cancer comes from our own cells. And so it’s more like guerrilla warfare — the immune system has trouble distinguishing the normal cells from the cancer cells,” he said. To help it do that, many cancer vaccines take a substance from a cancer cell’s surface and attach it to something the immune system already recognizes as foreign — in the lymphoma vaccine’s case, a shellfish protein. “It’s a mimic to what you’re trying to kill, a training device to train the immune system to kill something,” Hwu explained.

OPEN:

To make the attack as strong as possible, doctors add a substance to put the immune system on high alert. Dr. Stephen Schuster of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine led a study testing BiovaxID, an experimental vaccine against follicular lymphoma developed by the National Cancer Institute. Rights to it are now held by Biovest International Inc. of Worcester, Mass., and some of his co-researchers have financial ties to the company. To be in the study, patients had to have achieved a remission for at least six months with standard chemo. This often occurs with this type of lymphoma, but the disease usually comes back. Researchers gave 41 patients the protein and an immune booster; 76 other patients were given those plus the vaccine. After nearly five years of followup, the average time until the cancer worsened was 44 months in the vaccine group and 30 months in the others. Big gains also were seen with a neuroblastoma vaccine developed by the cancer institute. In a study of 226 patients, 86 percent of vaccine recipients were still alive after two years versus 75 percent of others not given the vaccine.

Soapstone Prairie has quarter-mile paved trail

From Page A1 farmed and ranched and is not open to the public. But a portion of it, the 15,000-acre Red Mountain Open Space and the 20,000-acre Soapstone Prairie, will open this weekend. Residents will be able to explore the trails and enjoy the rolling meadows, arroyos, vistas and a canyon dubbed “The Big Hole.” They also can celebrate the history of human interaction on the property, dating back 12,000 years and including American Indian cultures and settlers. Soapstone Prairie includes the renowned Lindenmeier archaeological site, excavated in the 1930s, as well as stone rings and other examples of history. A quarter-mile paved trail, which is handicapped-accessible, leads to an overlook of the site. Both open spaces are

Good to know • Dogs are not allowed on either Red Mountain or Soapstone Prairie open spaces because of the sensitive habitats and wildlife populations. • For the same reasons, the open spaces will close for three months every winter, December to February. • The rest of the year, Red Mountain and Soapstone Prairie will be rich with history. If modern-day explorers should see physical signs of the past (tools, Folsom points or other artifacts), they should leave them be, according to K-Lynn Cameron, Larimer County’s open lands director.

And with road work and last-minute details being completed this week — and all the rain of recent weeks — Cameron expects some bright greens for the grand openings. “It’s beautiful in any color,” she said. “But it’s not often you get to see it like this.”

Residents will pay $15 to $100 more for septic permit fees, starting today. The increase in costs, approved by the Larimer County Board of Health in May, means fees will now cover about 75 percent of actual costs. That reduces the amount covered by taxes. “Our goal would have been to get as

With summer vacation officially here, parents might be wondering how they will keep their children entertained until August. The Loveland Museum/Gallery offers one solution: a variety of classes through the summer centered on art and different cultures. The first class, “Dazzling Thiebaud Desserts,” focuses on renowned painter Wayne Thiebaud’s lifetime of artwork, which is being exhibited in the Museum/Gallery, said youth activities coordinator Jenny Dobson. In the two-day workshop, students will explore his stilllife paintings, many of which depict fruits and bakery cases. The students, fourththrough sixth-graders, will then get to make their own dessert artwork from clay. The class will run June 9 and 11. Registration is due Tuesday. “We try as much as we can to center some of the classes we have around the exhibits we have coming in,” Dobson said.

Registration for all classes is required at least one week in advance so that cancellations can be made with adequate notice. No refunds are given after the registration deadline. Supplies are included with fees unless noted. To register, call 962-2410 or stop in at the Loveland Museum/ Gallery, 503 N. Lincoln Ave. Two other classes center on the exhibit as well — “Impasto!” and “Wayne Thiebaud Food Art for Tots!” In the Impasto class, students will learn how to paint in the same style as Thiebaud, who used thick acrylic paints. Art for Tots will feature fruits such as watermelon. The children will get to eat watermelon during the class and then use the seeds in their artwork, Dobson said. “Everything else is stuff that we’ve either had in the past or has been popular or that we know could spark some interest,” she said. Some of the other classes include tie-dye, rainmakers and sand art.

Government micromanaging won’t work

Reporter-Herald Editorial

US shouldn’t address nuclear test on its own T

he regime in North Korea has seemed to move beyond mere provocation. News in recent days shows a number of disturbing developments. First, the communist dictatorship conducted a successful test of a nuclear weapon, one big enough to set off seismographs around the world. Second, the North Koreans staged several tests of its short-range missiles. Such missiles would be able to take a nuclear weapon across its borders to targets in democratic South Korea, an American ally, and perhaps points in China and Japan. Perhaps most menacingly, North Korean leaders have also said the terms of the 1953 armistice that halted hostilities in the Korean War are no longer in effect. The question for Western analysts now is whether the regime in North Korea is run by those who want their neighbors to knuckle under to their demands or just plain knuckleheads. The regime’s actions might cost the country its sole helping hand, China. It was one thing for the Chinese to coddle its communist brethren — while at the same time ensuring stability in a neighbor that, if it collapsed, would send hordes of refugees its direction. It is far different for the Chinese to have an unpredictable nuclear power on its doorstep. While relations might be OK between the Chinese and Koreans right now, they should know the unpredictability of the North Koreans could have them in the crosshairs at some point, too. Where should the United States go from here? The administration must continue to remind the North Koreans that all options are on the table, including military ones, if necessary. But the United States cannot act alone. Much as it did in the first Gulf War, diplomats should be allowed to build the necessary coalition with the players in the region — especially the Chinese, to make sure solutions are delivered in a concerted manner. There is a likelihood that North Korea will demand to be a country that possesses nuclear weapons. However, it must not be allowed to transfer either the technology or the weapons themselves to any other group or country. And the threat of force should be used to seal the deal.

Our View

Diplomats should be allowed to build the necessary coalition with the players in the region to make sure solutions are delivered in a concerted manner.

Other Views The Courier-Journal, Louisville, Ky., on President Barack Obama and Afghanistan: President Obama, as commander in chief, was fully within his rights to fire Gen. David McKiernan as the top American commander in Afghanistan, as he and Defense Secretary Robert Gates did recently. Nevertheless, removal of a military chief at that level in wartime is rare and momentous. It is the first such dismissal in the American military since President Harry Truman relieved Gen. Douglas MacArthur of his command in 1951 during the Korean War. But the American public should not conclude that this was a step taken because of personal relationships. It reflects the belief of the president and the Pentagon leadership that the war in Afghanistan is going badly and that the course of recent events must be reversed to avoid a calamitous restoration of the Taliban and its allies to power in much of the country. Gen. McKiernan has a conventional Army background. His replacement, Lt. Gen. Stanley McChrystal, is a former commander of the Joint Special Operations Command, and he led forces that captured Saddam Hussein and killed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, head of al-Qaida terrorists in Iraq. ... Gen. McChrystal’s appointment is an important step, but it is only one piece of a puzzle — one that is complex but that must be solved.

WASHINGTON — Epiphanies are a dime a dozen among congressional Democrats as they discover new reasons to commandeer other people’s money. For example, freshman Rep. Alan Grayson, a Florida Democrat whose district includes Disney Washington Post World, was recently Writers Group there and was inspired. The world, he realized, would be a sweeter place if Congress mandated that all companies with 100 or more employees provide a week of paid vacation to those who work at least 25 hours a week. After three years, they would be entitled to two weeks, and companies with more than 50 employees would have to start providing a paid vacation week. Members of the Congressional Black Caucus want the Treasury Department to subsidize minority owners of broadcasting properties. The broadcasters are not “too big to fail” and so do not pose a “systemic risk,” but, the representatives say, failures of minority broadcasters would diminish diversity. Such government micromanagement of the economy is everywhere. The Washington Post recently reported that Richard Wagoner, the former CEO of General Motors who was removed by the government, remains on GM’s payroll “because senior Treasury officials have yet to decide whether he should get the $20 million severance package that the company had promised him.” His 2009 compensation — $1 — is payable on Dec. 31. The $20 million promised to him includes contractual awards, deferred compensation and pension benefits accrued over 32 years with the company. Promise-keeping, including honoring contracts, is the default position of a lawful society. But suddenly, many citizens’ legal claims are merely starting points for negotiations with an overbearing government. State governments, too, are expected to accept Washington’s whims, but plucky Indiana is being obdurate. Gov. Mitch Daniels is supporting state Treasurer Richard Mourdock’s objection to the administration’s treatment of Chrysler’s creditors, which include the pension funds for Indiana’s retired teachers and state policemen, and a state construction fund. Together they own $42.5 million of Chrysler’s $6.9 billion secured debt. Compliant, because dependent, banks bowed to the administration’s demand that they accept less than settled bankruptcy law would have given them as secured creditors. Next, the president denounced as “speculators” remaining secured creditors, who then folded and accepted less on the dollar than an unsecured creditor — the United Auto Workers union — is getting. This raw taking of property from secured investors penalized those “speculators” — retired Indiana teachers and state police officers whom Mourdock says are being “ripped off by the federal government.” He is asking a court to declare that the Obama administration’s actions have violated “more than 100 years of established law by redefining ‘secured creditors’ to mean something less,” and that the actions violate the Fifth Amendment protection against the seizure of private property. Furthermore, he says the government is guilty of “misuse” of the Troubled Assets Relief Program, which gives the Treasury authority only to aid financial institutions, not industrial companies. The Wall Street Journal’s Joseph B. White reports that proposals percolating in Congress would further subsidize Detroit by bribing people to turn in old cars and trucks and buy vehicles that get better gas mileage. In one plan, if the new truck gets one mile per gallon more than the old truck, the buyer would get $3,500; a two mpg improvement would be worth $4,500. Such a policy would counteract the president’s environmentally harmful policy of forcing Detroit to quickly produce cars that are much more fuel efficient — meaning light, cramped and dangerous. Such products will be powerful incentives for Americans to continue driving their old, more polluting and less fuel-efficient cars. This will deprive Detroit of some customers, but surely the government has thought this through. George Will can be reached at georgewill @washpost.com.

GM drives toward

bankruptcy

DETROIT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; General Motors Corp. was making final preparations Sunday for its bankruptcy protection announcement after bondholders accepted a sweetened deal, smoothing the way for the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reorganization. A statement Sunday from a group of large, institutional bondholders said 54 percent of GM bondholders agreed to exchange their unsecured bonds for a 10 percent stake in a newly restructured company, plus warrants to purchase a greater share later. Their acceptance is seen as critical in moving the company through bankruptcy quickly. GM and the Treasury Department, which has been guiding the Detroit automaker toward a rescue plan that will give taxpayers more than a 70 percent stake in the company, were quiet on the bondholdersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; decision. Although GM has not confirmed it will seek bankruptcy protection, Chief Executive Officer Fritz Henderson has scheduled a news conference this morning in New York. President Barack Obama is also expected to give a speech addressing the Detroit automakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fate. The Treasury Department must

In a previous bond exchange offer, the Treasury demanded participation of 90 percent of bondholders, representing a debt exchange of $24 billion. In Germany, the government agreed Sunday to loan GMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Opel unit $2.1 billion, a move necessary for Magna International Inc. to acquire the company.

In March, there were 281,691 homes in foreclosure in Florida and coastal counties in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia. Lee County, where Manikchand lives, is among the hardest-hit counties in the country.

The Rev. Alberto Cutie (pronounced KOOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;-tee-ay) gave the sermon at the Episcopal Church of The Resurrection in Miami. Episcopalian priests can marry, unlike their Catholic counterparts. It will take him at least a year to become a priest in his new church. The cozy church was overflowing with supporters, most having to stand along the aisles or lean against the walls. Many in the crowd said they were not members but came to support Cutie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This little church has been neglected, and membership is not great,â&#x20AC;? said Jackie Fernandez, who attends another Episcopal church in the Miami area. She said within the year that will all change thanks to Cutie.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cuba has agreed to resume talks with the Obama administration on legal immigration of Cubans to the United States and direct mail service between the two countries, a State Department official said Sunday. The communist government notified the U.S. on Saturday that it had accepted an administration overture made May 22 to restart the immigration talks, suspended by President George W. Bush after the last meeting in 2003. Cuba also expressed a willingness to cooperate with the U.S. on fighting terrorism and drug trafficking, and on hurricane disaster preparedness. The official, who spoke to reporters just before Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton left on a trip to El Salvador and Honduras, said the Cuban response was a positive development and â&#x20AC;&#x153;clear signalâ&#x20AC;? that the administration and the Havana government are willing to engage.

Johnson pushed Stewart over the final few laps on the concrete and finally caught him with an outside pass. Johnson won his second race of the season and got his fourth career Cup victory at Dover. “We just couldn’t hold off Jimmie,” Stewart said. “He was like a freight train coming.” Johnson dominated most of the race and led 298 total laps after leading only 12 laps combined in the last six races. The three-time defending Cup champion had a slow pit stop with 36 laps left that dropped him from the lead.

PARIS — For 31 matches, Rafael Nadal ruled the red clay of Roland Garros, boasting an unbeaten record and an unbreakable will. For 31 matches, this was his surface, his tournament, his time. For 31 matches, dating to his debut on May 23, 2005, Nadal never truly was challenged, much less defeated, at the French Open, allowing him to win four consecutive titles and close in on becoming the first player in history with five in a row. Until Sunday. Until the fourth round of the 2009 French Open. Until Robin Soderling, a 24-year-old from Sweden with a bit of an attitude and 6-foot-3 worth of power, transformed Nadal’s career mark at Roland Garros from a bestever 31-0 to 31-1 with 31/2 hours of assertive, and sometimes spectacular, play. “Well, that’s the end of the road, and I have to accept it,” Nadal said. “I have to accept my defeat as I accepted my victories: with calm.” Simply put, Soderling’s 6-2, 6-7 (2), 6-4, 7-6 (2) victory over the No. 1-seeded Nadal rates as one of the biggest upsets in tennis history. Not sure? Set aside all of Nadal’s bona fides for a moment — the dominance on clay; the six Grand Slam titles, including at Wimbledon and Australian Open — and focus on this: The 23rd-seeded Soderling never had won so much as a third-round match at any major tournament before this one. “I kept telling myself, ‘This is just another match,’ ” Soderling said. Nadal won all three of their previous meetings, including a contentious match at Wimbledon in 2007, and a 6-1, 6-0 rout on clay at Rome in April. But this time, Nadal was a half-step slower than usual — he tumbled to the ground in the third

ROCKIES:

Take 2 of 3 from visiting Padres From Page A6 Heath Bell recorded his 15th save in 16 chances for the Padres, who salvaged the final game of the three-game series. Gonzalez and Hairston backed up a strong pitching performance from their starter. Gaudin (2-3) struck out eight through four innings before running into trouble in the fifth. He allowed consecutive one-out singles to Troy Tulowitzki and Torrealba, but pinch-hitter Seth Smith looked at strike three and Tulowitzki was caught stealing at third to end the inning. Black and Gaudin agreed that was a turning point in the game. “At that time it’s 4-0,” Black said. “In this park, 4-0 is like 1-0.” Gaudin allowed two runs on seven hits and didn’t walk a batter in 62/3 innings. “I was locating my fastball and getting ahead of hitters,” said Gaudin, whose career high in strikeouts is 11. “When you do that it allows you to expand the zone and get guys to chase.” Gaudin didn’t walk a batter for the first time in seven starts this year. “You could tell right from the first two batters the fastball had some life to it,” Black said. “A lot of times when you have life you might not have the command, but he had the command and the life.” Colorado starter Jorge De La Rosa (0-6) gave up four runs on six hits in five innings. He struck out five and walked three. “We haven’t swept a series this year and that would have been nice to do,” Rockies first baseman Todd Helton said. “Their pitcher threw the ball really well today.”

Roosevelt splits home doubleheader

JOHNSTOWN — Two pitchers both sharing firsts found different results for Roosevelt Legion Post 70 in a doubleheader split against Windsor on Sunday, but head coach Alan Gibson could only talk about the good side of Cole Wadsworth and Colton Gibson. Colton Gibson went the distance in the second game to help the RoughRiders snap a five-game losing streak with a 7-2 win, and Wadsworth cruised through most of his pitching debut before running into trouble in a 4-3 loss. It was an all-or-nothing seventh inning for Wadsworth in the opener, as he struck out the side but allowed the eventual winning run to score on four walks. “To see that he struck out the side meant that he was still bringing it after five innings, and that was good to see,” said the elder Gibson, whose team moved to 4-5 overall. The younger Gibson, meanwhile, was hitting the plate all day — he finished his first-ever start without issuing a free pass — and the RoughRiders exploded for six runs in the second inning to win for the first time since the summer’s opening week. Several small plays led up to the big frame. “We had a couple slap hits, a sacrifice bunt, and a couple base hits sprinkled in there, and that’s all it took,” Alan Gibson said. “Colton made them swing the bat and he used his defense, too.” Dylan Wadsworth had a pair of RBI to help the team get back on track. — RH Sports Staff

Peavy will start Tuesday DENVER (AP) — San Diego right-hander Jake Peavy will make his scheduled start Tuesday despite being bothered by right ankle tendinitis. Padres manager Bud Black said Sunday Peavy’s ankle problem has improved and he’ll start against Philadelphia. Peavy is 5-5 with a 3.57 ERA. He turned the ankle running the bases against the Cubs on May 22, pitching six innings in that 4-0 win. He then allowed four runs on eight hits in 61/3 innings in beating Arizona, 8-5, on Wednesday. He has won his last three starts.

He missed one game and returned to the lineup Saturday. “Just a couple years ago, it took people a month to recover,” the 25-year-old Ericsson said. “It took me three days.” Valtteri Filppula added the go-ahead tally 6 minutes, 8 seconds later, and Justin Abdelkader scored his second of the series in the third.

Red Wings left the ice in front of their cheering, towel-waving fans and headed for Pittsburgh with another commanding lead. Game 3 is Tuesday night, and the odds favor the Red Wings’ quest to become the NHL’s first repeat champion since they did it in 1997 and ’98. Teams that win Games 1 and 2 at home have captured the Cup 31 of 32 times. Frustration boiled over for Pittsburgh with 18.2 seconds left, when Max Talbot stuck his stick in goalie Chris Osgood’s midsection after he made his 31st save. That led to a fight between Evgeni Malkin and Red Wings forward Henrik Zetterberg that left both players’ jerseys torn on the

ice. Malkin could be subject to a one-game suspension if his instigator penalty is upheld. The Penguins, who dropped the opener 3-1 on Saturday night, played better in this two-game set compared to a year ago when the finals were new to them. “In each of the first two games we have been able to play in the offensive zone for periods of time,” Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. “We’ve been able to get shots, been able to outshoot a good Detroit team, but they’ve been able to get the timely goals. “As a result they’ve got two wins.”

Orlando back in NBA Finals for first time since getting swept by Houston in 1995

From Page A6 tremendously happy enough yet,” forward Rashard Lewis said. “We like winning that silver basketball, but I think the gold basketball will be a little better than that silver one.” The franchise has been here before. Orlando’s only other finals appearance ended swiftly, getting swept by the Houston Rockets. After Shaquille O’Neal bolted for Los Angeles in the summer of ’96, the franchise collapsed. The Magic hit bottom in the 200304 season, with coach Doc Rivers getting fired and star Tracy McGrady demanding a trade. They were 21-61 that season. The No. 1 pick brought them another Superman. Howard has talked about winning a title since he was drafted out of high school. The 23-year-old has quickly honed his skills, and his rare

combination of size and speed has helped the Magic rise again. “I think we started to bring back some magic in Orlando,” Howard said. “I felt that we were a laughingstock around the league. Everybody played the Magic, they thought about Disney World. So I just wanted to change that.” Consider it done. Howard had 40 points and 14 rebounds in a dominating Game 6 win Saturday night to power the Magic to a 4-2 series win over Cleveland. Things aren’t getting any easier. “Our reward is, especially mine and my coaching staff’s, is you get to go from preparing for LeBron to preparing for Kobe,” Van Gundy said sarcastically. “That will be a lot of fun.” Any test the Magic face they will likely be ready for — they’ve passed everything already. Nelson went down in early February, and only a trade-deadline deal to get Rafer Alston from Houston

kept them as contenders. Then came the playoffs, which has provided the ultimate heartbreak and satisfaction. Andre Iguodala and Thaddeus Young each hit shots in the final moments to give Philadelphia wins in the first round series against the Magic. But they survived. They lost on a Glen Davis’ shot as time expired in Game 4 of their second round series against Boston. And after the Magic blew a fourthquarter lead in a devastating Game 5 meltdown, Howard publicly challenged Van Gundy for not getting him the ball enough. But they survived. Then came the league MVP. James averaged more than 38 points, eight rebounds and eight assists in the conference finals, including a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to win Game 2 and a triple-double to steal Game 5. But again the Magic survived. “I don’t think very many people

thought we could win with all the stuff we’ve been through,” Van Gundy said. Now comes the best-in-the-west Lakers. The Magic are 2-0 this season against Los Angeles and pose similar matchup problems as they did against Cleveland, with four shooters around Howard who can be potent from outside. But the wins against the Lakers this season were helped in large part by Nelson, who was their leading scorer in both. While rumblings of Nelson suiting up for the finals are already heating up again — as they have at the start of every round — that is still unlikely. Magic general manager Otis Smith has repeatedly said Nelson will not play this season and would not be ready until training camp because the risk of injury is too much. A Magic spokesman said Sunday that Nelson’s rehabilitation is ahead of schedule but that his status remains uncertain.

Your government at work City Council to consider electronic sign rules Who: Loveland City Council When: 6:30 p.m. Tuesday Where: Council Chamber, 500 E. Third St. TV/Internet: Comcast Channel 16 At Issue: After a few months of work with city planning officials and the Loveland Planning Commission, the City Council will take a look at potential new rules to govern electronic signs. When the measure came before the Planning Commission, the rules passed on a 3-2 vote, with the only disagreement among commissioners having to do with the length of time a message would be required to stay on an electronic sign. The majority favored requiring a 10-second duration, while the other two members thought the current regulation, five seconds, was an appropriate limit.

Commissioners to discuss renaming road through LaPorte Who: Larimer County Board of County Commissioners When: 9 a.m. Tues-

day Where: Commissioners Conference Room, 200 W. Oak St., Fort Collins TV/Internet: www.larimer.org/bcc/broadcast.cfm At Issue: The county commissioners will be asked to discuss renaming County Road 54G through LaPorte to “LaPorte Main Street.” The road originally was the route of U.S. 287 through Northern Colorado north of Fort Collins, but a bypass completed in the late 1980s allowed the road to revert to county jurisdiction. When residents along the road were polled earlier this year, they were opposed to the change by a 2-1 margin, but a request from the LaPorte Area Advisory Committee asks that the commissioners take a look.

Fort Collins Council looks at eminent domain issue Who: Fort Collins City Council When: 6 p.m. Tuesday Where: Fort Collins City Hall, Council Chamber, 300 Laporte Ave., Fort Collins. TV/Internet: Fort Collins Comcast Channel 14 At Issue: Fort Collins city officials are looking to begin proceedings to buy pieces of five properties at Harmony Road and College Avenue as part of the city’s transportation improvements in the corridor. Five properties would have portions sliced off to create wider roadways, mostly on Harmony Road. The five include the current location of Ultimate Electronics, McDonalds, the business park on the southeast corner of College and Harmony, and two properties a half-block west of the College-Harmony intersection. Because the city of Fort Collins wants to begin construction on the project in February 2010, officials have started the process as though it could be an eminent domain acquisition, even though a memo to the city council says such action may not be necessary. The entire project is estimated to cost the city $5.7 million.

Transportation group examines transit plan Who: Loveland Transportation Advisory Commission When: 4 p.m. today Where: Loveland City Council Chamber, 500 E. Third St. TV/Internet: None At Issue: Transportation Advisory Commission members will look at the transit master plan recommendations that have been the subject of public open houses over the past several months. In a presentation to members of the Fort Collins and Loveland city councils last month, transit officials outlined a plan for bus service in the future that looks at potential increases in services in future years, including a possible service to Longmont. In addition to the transit discussion, commissioners will hear status reports on the construction projects at two Interstate 25 interchanges and the discussion about potential requirements for vehicle inspection and maintenance.

PATTY PACKRAT Shredded paper is recyclable, but take it out of the bag Question: I’ve got shredded paper I want to recycle. How do I package it? Answer: It’s always a good idea to shred those documents with account numbers, passwords and other personal information in order to safeguard that information. Disposing of shredded paper can be done Garbage in several ways. It can Garage be used for small animal bedding, mulching flower beds (cover with dirt to keep it from blowing away), composting it in your yard waste bin, and recycling it. Shredded paper can be taken to the Loveland Recycling Center or the Larimer County Landfill recycling area and placed in the office paper bin at either of those facilities. Please don’t put it in plastic bags or other bags for those containers. Just put the loose shredded paper in the containers. In Loveland, it can be put with your curbside recycling. If you have a recycling cart, just put it in loose. If using a recycling bin, put it in a paper bag or cardboard carton so it doesn’t blow away. Don’t put it in a plastic or nonrecyclable bag or container. You also can put it in your yard waste cart, and it will be composted along with your other yard waste. If you’ve got a question you’d like to see answered here, contact me at rwatson@ larimer.org. See you next week.

DEAR BUCK City eliminates prairie dogs near Mariana Butte golf course Dear Buck: I walk past Mariana Butte Golf Course, and to the left of No. 10 they always have had prairie dogs. The last week or two, I have not seen any, and it looks like all the holes were filled in. I am worried that someone killed them all. Am I barking up the wrong tree? Signed: Worried Dear Worried: Yes, the city put out a contract on the prairie dogs. The city has an agreement with the owner of the property adjacent to the 10th hole to take care of problems that arise with prairie dogs. Recently the critters became problematic, so the city hired a company to eliminate them and fill in the holes, said Steve Southard, golf course superintendent. Large numbers of the critters were burrowing holes in the bunker, the middle of the fairway and in the rough, causing safety issues, he said. “Whenever it gets really bad, it’s a safety issue on our part because of the holes,” he said. Buck Thompson finds answers to questions regarding life in Loveland. Send your questions to 201 E. Fifth St.; Loveland, CO 80537; or to news@reporterherald.com.

10 years ago this week: • “The mountain pine beetle has reached epidemic proportions in northern Larimer County,” warned a forester with the Fort Collins district of the Colorado State Forest Service. Beetles had killed more than 3,000 trees in 1998, she said, leaving behind eggs that were expected to hatch into more beetles that could kill another 9,000 trees.

25 years ago this week: • The city of Loveland commissioned a group of Denver consultants to do a study on the needs of downtown. The consultants were to identify the appropriate direction for downtown redevelopment to take.

50 years ago this week: • Emma Gatewood, a 71-year-old woman who was hiking from Missouri to Oregon, arrived in Loveland. She was greeted at the Loveland Chamber of Commerce and stayed with a local family for the night. Gatewood walked about 10 to 15 miles per day.

Boss, assistant don’t agree on thank-yous didn’t want to lose me. She says that even though we’re not married, every relationship has its ups and downs, and a piece of paper should not define commitment. Some of my friends say I should never see her again as she is manipulative. Others say continuing the relationship depends on how I feel about Dear her. While I can forgive her, I Abby am having a problem with the issue of trust. Abby, given the circumstances, do you feel this is someone I can trust? My gut tells me buyer beware. — ON THE FENCE IN NEVADA DEAR ON THE FENCE: Has Mary made any effort to seek help for her gambling problem? If the answer is no — and I suspect it is — then listen to your gut. Listen to your head. And if you have any doubt that they’re leading you in the right direction, listen to what your lawyer and accountant have to say about the risk of pursuing this relationship further. DEAR ABBY: Many friends approach me for advice. I want to help them. It’s in my nature to be helpful. However, there are times when I’m out of advice and just want to close the door. How can I continue to help, but also close the door without putting someone off? — ADVISER IN INDIANA DEAR ADVISER: Recognize that a fountain of advice must occasionally shut down for servicing and preventive maintenance. In your case, what you’re trying to prevent is burnout. A friend will understand if you say, “I’d love to help, but I’m fresh out of ideas today — let’s talk about something else.” Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

DEAR ABBY: I work as an administrative assistant for a company in Louisville. Each year we invite several “high-level” customers to attend the Kentucky Derby. We spare no expense on this event, paying for hotels, track tickets, food, drinks, limos, etc. for three full days. Last year, my boss told me he was “disappointed” that I had not thought of sending thank-you notes to our guests after the event. He felt we should thank them for taking time away from their personal lives to visit us. I say that after three days of running myself silly behind the scenes, the thank-you notes should come from them. Your opinion, please. — WHO THANKS WHO IN KENTUCKY DEAR WHO THANKS WHO: I understand your frustration because no one wants to be taken for granted, but you are confusing business etiquette with social etiquette. Your boss isn’t entertaining those people because he likes them. He is doing it so they will return the favor by doing business with his company. So please do what he says and start writing. A form letter, individually prepared for each client, should do the trick. Each one should be a signed original expressing the sentiments your boss would like to have conveyed. DEAR ABBY: I have been dating “Mary” for 18 months, and I was really starting to fall for her. Things were going well until three weeks ago, when she informed me that she has a serious gambling problem. She has maxed out her credit cards and has no money left in her savings. Until this point, Mary had given me the impression that she was someone I could trust and that she was in control of her life. I am in total shock and very upset about the fact that she has misrepresented herself to me. She said she

True Swat victory won’t be military

By Nahal Toosi

The Associated Press

SLAMABAD — Pakistan says it is close to beating the Taliban in the Swat Valley, but battlefield success alone does not equal victory: Militant commanders are still at large, local governments and police forces have been decimated and millions of residents are displaced from their homes. Even if Pakistan succeeds in eliminating insurgents in one of its most intense operations yet, the northwestern valley is just one of several militant strongholds in the U.S.-allied country — and not even the most important. Already, fighting is flaring in the semiautonomous tribal areas bordering Afghanistan, where al-Qaida and the Taliban are more entrenched than they were in Swat. The U.S. sees Swat as a test of nuclear-armed Pakistan’s ability and willingness to tackle insurgents in the northwest blamed for attacks on American and NATO forces in Afghanistan. Over the weekend, the Pakistani army said it had reclaimed Mingora, Swat’s main town. The defense secretary said Sunday the whole valley could be back in control within two or three days, though other officials have given longer timeframes. In announcing Mingora’s capture, army spokesman Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas acknowledged the escape of an unknown number of militants. So far, no top commanders, including Swat Taliban chief Maulana Fazlullah, are known to have been killed or captured. Some parts of the valley remain under militant control. After a violent, two-year Taliban campaign, the valley’s local administrative authorities have been severely damaged, with top lawmakers, government officials and business leaders fleeing months ago. Militants in Swat frequently targeted police, while desertions further thinned their ranks. In December, officials said about 300 policemen had fled the force, figures sure to have

Analysis

risen in the months since. Re-establishing local government — most importantly bringing back police patrols — is critical to holding Swat once the army offensive ends. To do that well could take months, possibly years. For now, it appears the army and paramilitary forces will have to act as the police, as they were already trying to do in many parts of Swat before the offensive. The military insists it has tried to minimize civilian casualties and property damage in Swat’s towns, knowing public support could wane otherwise. Still, video footage and reporters’ accounts from various parts of the valley and nearby districts indicate significant destruction. For many of the 3 million refugees, a return could mean finding a crushed home or damaged businesses, fueling popular anger and hampering efforts to jumpstart the local economy in a region that was once a jewel of Pakistani tourism. Pakistan has announced $100 million in federal aid to help the Swat refugees while the U.N. is pleading with donors to come up with $543 million to ease what is one of the largest internal displacements in a country in many years. Ordinary Pakistanis also have launched drives to help the refugees, most of whom are staying with relatives or friends but some 200,000 of whom are in camps. There also are plans to beef up the police force in Swat, in part by using retired military officers. But timeframes are unclear, and the country’s track record on post-conflict work is not inspiring. Before the latest offensive in Swat, Pakistan waged a six-month fight against insurgents in Bajur, a tribal region considered a sanctuary for alQaida and the Taliban on the Afghan border. Of up to 500,000 people displaced from Bajur, some 230,000 have returned since the army declared victory there in February, only to find as many as 6,000 homes and shops destroyed or damaged, said a top administrative official in the region, Shafir Ullah Jan.

In Brief Geithner voices desire for closer economic ties with China BEIJING — After years of acrimonious economic relations with China, the U.S. insists it wants to turn the page and develop closer ties with the world’s third largest economy. U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who arrived Sunday in Beijing for two days of talks with Chinese leaders, said he wanted to foster the same kind of working relationship with China that the United States has enjoyed for decades with European economic powers. On his first visit to China as treasury secretary, Geithner said the Obama administration was committed to forging a new relationship with China after trade disputes with the U.S. over the past decade. Those fights have reflected record U.S. trade

deficits with China. “We would like to build with China the kind of relationship we built with the G-7 over the last several decades,” Geithner told reporters traveling with him.

West Bank fighting claims lives of 6 QALQILIYA, West Bank — Forces loyal to the moderate Palestinian president stormed a Hamas hideout in the West Bank and set off a fierce gunbattle that left six dead Sunday, the worst violence since the factions fought a pitched battle over Gaza in 2007. Militants lobbed grenades and fired automatic weapons to push back the raid in a twostory building in Qalqiliya, a West Bank town known for its strong Hamas presence.

US journalists’ trial set to begin in N. Korea SEOUL, South Korea

— As global powers debate how to punish North Korea for its nuclear defiance, two American journalists seized nearly three months ago face a trial this week in Pyongyang on charges that could land them in one of the country’s notorious labor camps. North Korean guards detained Laura Ling and Euna Lee, reporters for former U.S. Vice President Al Gore’s Current TV media venture, at the northeastern border with China on March 17. Activists who helped organize their trip say they had been reporting on North Korean women and children who fled to China for an uncertain life as refugees. Pyongyang accused the Americans of engaging in “hostile acts” and crossing into communist North Korea illegally. — The Associated Press

The Washington Post WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Manufacturers of canned beverages and foods and some of their biggest customers, including CocaCola, are trying to devise a public relations and lobbying strategy to block government bans of a controversial chemical used in the linings of metal cans and lids. According to internal notes of a private meeting, obtained by The Washington Post, frustrated industry executives huddled for hours Thursday trying to figure out how to tamp down public concerns over the chemical bisphenol A, or BPA. The notes said the executives are particularly concerned about the views of young mothers, who often make purchasing decisions for households and who are most likely to be focused on health concerns. Industry representatives weighed a range of ideas, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;using fear tactics (e.g. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you want to have access to baby food anymore?â&#x20AC;? as well as giving control back to consumers (e.g. you have a choice between the more expensive product that is frozen or fresh or foods packaged in cans) as ways to dissuade people from choosing BPA-free packaging,â&#x20AC;? the notes said.
