3 teens injured in blast out from hospital Matt Stensland Steamboat Today

Steamboat Springs

Two teenage boys injured in an explosion Thursday evening at a Steamboat Springs condo have been released from Yampa Valley Medical Center, according to a hospital spokeswoman. Police said a teenage girl who was inside the condo also was taken to the hospital and released soon after.

A more seriously injured 17-year-old boy was flown to a Denver-area hospital, according to emergency responders, but his condition was unavailable Friday evening.

The Steamboat Springs Police Department on Friday was continuing its investigation into what caused the explosion. Police think a marijuana concentrate called ear wax was being made inside the condo with butane, and the butane ignited. The force of the blast shook the building and shattered and knocked out windows.

“It’s amazing the building didn’t catch fire and those kids weren’t killed,” Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue Chief Mel Stewart said Friday.

Water from a sprinkler inside the condo caused damage to other units in the building.

Police are investigating whether to pursue criminal See Blast, page 2

when you get into that kind of stuff, it’s the big Western agricultural heritage here. It just helps showcase everything that goes on in the valley outside of skiing.”

hen 27 of us piled into a small fleet of yellow rafts at Deer Lodge Park on June 7 and set off down the Yampa River to seek adventure and enlightenment in the canyons and rapids of Dinosaur National Monument, Tom Ross we were steamboat today a loosely organized collection of scientists, photographers, note scribblers, experienced river rats and water policy wonks. Some of us were longtime acquaintances, but many of us were strangers.

By the time we emerged from the string of rapids that boil in Utah’s Split Mountain, we had bonded into a smoothly functioning band of river nomads.

We were a tribe.

During the air-conditioned ride back to Steamboat Springs, as I contemplated the way we had quickly transformed ourselves into a cohesive group whose members depended upon one another’s skills and good humor to complete our journey, I realized that I had never been on a multi-day river trip when I didn’t come away with a sense that this is how we were meant to live.

My first extended float on a wild Western river took place nearly two decades ago when I joined a psychiatrist from New Jersey and 13 of his patients on a float down Desolation Canyon on the Green River. I was there simply to document the float, but took part in the morning encounter groups, which made me an honorary member of the Jersey tribe. I’ll let you judge whether I was one of the patients.

Between that trip and last week’s, I had a similar experi-

tom ross/staff

A tribe of semi-nomadic river runners taking part in the Yampa River Awareness Project gathered on a heavily cobbled sand bar along the river in Dinosaur National Monument on June 10 to listen as Prof. Pat Tierney, of San Francisco State University, talk about migration patterns of the endangered Pikeminnow.

By the time we emerged from the string of rapids that boil in Utah’s Split Mountain, we had bonded into a smoothly functioning band of river nomads. We were a tribe. ence on a 19-day Grand Canyon float in 2007. I also took a trip down Lodore Canyon on the Green with local Boat People in August 2012. In all cases, I experienced some version of this tribal thing.

This most recent trip was hosted by the local organization Friends of the Yampa and the national conservation organization American Rivers as part of the Yampa River Awareness Project. We also enjoyed the hospitality of world-class river outfitter O.A.R.S., as well as the company of its founder, George Wendt. George has great stories to tell, and he was our tribal elder for sure.

On the latest trip, we quickly slipped into the routine of sharing chores, honored our leaders and our shaman and paid heed to our most-skilled rowers.

We could pack and move our homes and kitchen to a new

spot every day without squabbling or hesitation.

We had become a tribe, a little like the diverse bands of Fremont people who flourished on the Colorado Plateau from 600 to about 1,400 AD and left their pictographs in Yampa Canyon.

Like the Fremont, we took time out to explore and make art.

Unlike the Fremont, we did not have detailed knowledge of the changing night sky. But we did have a cool laser pointer to help us recognize some of the major constellations.

I won’t soon forget coming awake in my sleeping bag on the third night and watching the Big Dipper descend while the arc of its handle closely mimicked the lines of a bulging sandstone cliff that loomed above the river.

There’s much more to share about our trip down Yampa Canyon, and I promise to tell you about snakes, scorpions, tarantula, hawks, gnarly rapids, tremendous rockfalls and the Fremont people in an in-depth article in the July 28 edition of the Steamboat Pilot & Today.

April’s sales tax collections in the city of Steamboat Springs increased slightly in the final April report, released Thursday by the city.

The city collected $943,443 this April, a decrease of 0.84 percent from April 2012 collections and slightly higher than the 0.92 percent decrease represented in the preliminary report. Year-to-date sales tax revenues are $6.99 million through the first four months of the year, up 5.8 percent from the $6.61 million collected through April 2012.

When compared by categories, April collections decreased year over year in all subsets except for liquor stores (2.3 percent increase) and utilities (10.3 percent increase). There were sales tax receipts gains in each of the city’s geographic regions except for the U.S. Highway 40 corridor, which saw a decrease of 7.7 percent from April 2012.

April’s modest decline in overall sales tax revenues came in spite of this year’s early Easter holiday, which in turn had a significant impact on tourist numbers for the final two weeks of the 2012-13 ski season. The ski season ended April 14, and some resort lodging officials said April would be softer than in many recent years.

letter to the editor

Invest in the Yampa In a recent article on the growing sport of stand-up paddleboarding, Scott Ford compares Steamboat’s section of the Yampa River to an “amusement ride.” But if the river is Steamboat’s amusement ride, then it is one that is running with little adult supervision, rotating on its endless loops while the paint crumbles and the supporting beams rot away.

The Yampa River is the centerpiece of our town in the summertime. From Charlie’s Hole to the Yampa River Core Trail to the riverside decks on Yampa Street to the outstanding floating and fishing opportunities found throughout its length, the Yampa River is the source and backdrop for most of our summertime fun. Without the Yampa River, the old Steamboat adage wouldn’t be, “I came for the winters and stayed for the summers;” it’d be, “I came for the winters … and left in April.”

Although much recent attention has been paid to the future hopes of making this town a regional bicycling destination, the Yampa River is a feature that currently draws folks from across the country — to fish the world-class trout fishery, to tube with the family through town or on their way to raft the famous canyons in Dinosaur National Monument.

While the city of Steamboat Springs must be lauded for its considerable investments over the years in acquiring riverside open space, obtaining a recreational in-channel diversion water right at Charlie’s Hole and contributing to water purchases that protected life-sustaining flows during last year’s drought, it still seems that more can, and should, be done.

What is needed is not only a sustained investment in making the Yampa River throughout its length a national attraction, but investing in the dirty work of managing and enforcing the plans and policies we have in place to ensure that the Yampa River’s economic, social and ecological benefits are maximized. Whether it’s the still-unsolved Catch-22 of summertime tubing, the mothballed Yampa River Structures Plan or the haphazard project at Fournier open space, the river continues to get short shrift when compared to other natural features in our town.

One notable example is that not a single boat ramp or official boat access point exists along the river stretch in Steamboat Springs. If a fisherman with a drift boat or a family with a raft wants to float the stretch of river through town, they are forced to carry or drag their boats to and from access points at Walton Creek, the Transit Center or Chuck Lewis State Wildlife Area. This lack of

Readers weigh in access not only discourages river use, but encourages trespass onto private property and into sensitive riparian areas.

Besides a lack of public access in Steamboat itself, the amazingly beautiful stretches of river between Steamboat and Hayden are almost completely unused by anyone other than the well-connected outfitter because of a lack of access downstream.

Towns along the Roaring Fork, Colorado, Eagle and Arkansas rivers have all managed to find ways to provide quality access to their prominent rivers while balancing private property concerns, but we here in the Yampa Valley continue to provide only rare and semi-legal access to our river. We could alleviate this deficiency with creative planning and partnerships with private landowners, other municipalities and the county, but we just seem to sweep it under the rug and hope that nobody notices what they’re missing.

I have heard that the city has begun working with stakeholders to improve access, particularly at Fournier open space and Bear River Park. These efforts should be prioritized so that we can get ahead of the inevitable problems that this increased use could cause in the years ahead.

Commentary

Religion and inequality David Brooks

The New York Times

About a century ago, Walter Judd was a 17-year-old boy hoping to go to college at the University of Nebraska.

His father pulled him aside and told him that, although the family had happily paid for Judd’s two sisters to go to college, Judd himself would get no money for tuition or room and board.

His father explained that he thought his son might one day go on to Brooks become a fine doctor, but he also had seen loose tendencies. Some hard manual labor during college would straighten him out.

Judd took the train to the university, arrived at the station at 10:30 and by 12:15 had found a job washing dishes at the cafeteria of the YMCA. He did that job every day of his first year, rising at 6 each morning, not having his first college date until the last week of the school year.

Judd went on to become a doctor, a daring medical missionary and a prominent member of Congress between 1943 and 1963. The anecdote is small, but

it illustrates a few things. First, that, in those days, it was possible to work your way through college doing dishes. More important, that people then were more likely to assume that jobs at the bottom of the status ladder were ennobling and that jobs at the top were morally perilous. That is to say, the moral status system was likely to be the inverse of the worldly status system. The working classes were self-controlled, while the rich and the professionals could get away with things.

These mores, among other things, had biblical roots. In the Torah, God didn’t pick out the most powerful or notable or populous nation to be his chosen people. He chose a small, lowly band. The Torah is filled with characters who are exiles or from the lower reaches of society who are, nonetheless, chosen for pivotal moments: Moses, Joseph, Saul, David and Esther.

In the New Testament, Jesus blesses the poor, “for yours is the kingdom of God.” But “woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.”

In Corinthians, Jesus tells the crowds, “Not many of you were wise by worldly standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But

God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.”

Under this rubric, your place is not determined by worldly accomplishments but simply through an acceptance of God’s grace. As Paul Tillich put it in a passage recently quoted on Andrew Sullivan’s blog, “Do not seek for anything; do not perform anything; do not intend anything. Simply accept the fact that you are accepted.”

This inverse hierarchy took secular form. Proletarian novels and movies made the working class the moral bedrock of the nation. In Frank Capra movies like “Meet John Doe,” the common man is the salt of the earth, while the rich are suspect. It wasn’t as if Americans renounced worldly success (this is America!), but there were rival status hierarchies: the biblical hierarchy, the working man’s hierarchy, the artist’s hierarchy, the intellectual’s hierarchy, all of which questioned success and denounced those who climbed and sold out.

Throughout the years, religion has played a less dominant role in public culSee Brooks, page 9

Sympathy for the luddites What happens when good jobs disappear? It’s a question that’s been asked for centuries.

In 1786, the cloth workers of Leeds, a wool-industry center in northern England, issued a protest against the growing use of “scribbling” machines, which were taking over a task formerly performed Krugman by skilled labor.

“How are those men, thus thrown out of employ to provide for their families?” asked the petitioners. “And what are they to put their children apprentice to?”

Those weren’t foolish questions. Mechanization eventually — that is, after a couple of generations — led to a broad rise in British living standards.

But it’s far from clear whether typical workers reaped any benefits during the early stages of the Industrial Revolution; many workers were clearly hurt. And often the workers hurt most were those who had, with effort, acquired valuable skills — only to find those skills suddenly devalued.

So are we living in another such era? And, if we are, what are we going to do about it?

Until recently, the conventional wisdom about the effects of technology on workers was, in a way, comforting. Clearly, many workers weren’t sharing fully — or, in many cases, at all — in the benefits of rising productivity; instead, the bulk of the gains were going to a minority of the workforce. But this, the story went, was because modern technology was raising the demand for highly educated workers while reducing the demand for less educated workers. And the solution was more education.

Now, there always were

problems with this story. Notably, while it could account for a rising gap in wages between those with college degrees and those without, it couldn’t explain why a small group — the famous “one percent” — was experiencing much bigger gains than highly educated workers in general. Still, there may have been something to this story a decade ago.

Today, however, a much darker picture of the effects of technology on labor is emerging. In this picture, highly educated workers are as likely as less educated workers to find themselves displaced and devalued, and pushing for more education may create as many problems as it solves.

I’ve noted before that the nature of rising inequality in America changed around 2000. Until then, it was all about worker versus worker; the distribution of income between labor and capital — between wages and profits, if you like — had been stable for decades. Since then, however, labor’s share of the pie has fallen sharply. As it turns out, this is not a uniquely American phenomenon. A new report from the International Labour Organization points out that the same thing has been happening in many other countries, which is what you’d expect to see if global technological trends were turning against workers.

And some of those turns may well be sudden. The McKinsey Global Institute recently released a report on a dozen major new technologies that it considers likely to be “disruptive,” upsetting existing market and social arrangements. Even a quick scan of the report’s list suggests that some of the victims of disruption will be workers who are currently considered highly skilled, and who invested a lot of time and money in acquiring those skills. For exam-

ple, the report suggests that we’re going to be seeing a lot of “automation of knowledge work,” with software doing things that used to require college graduates. Advanced robotics could further diminish employment in manufacturing, but it also could replace some medical professionals.

So should workers simply be prepared to acquire new skills? The woolworkers of 18th-century Leeds addressed this issue back in 1786: “Who will maintain our families, whilst we undertake the arduous task” of learning a new trade? Also, they asked, what will happen if the new trade, in turn, gets devalued by further technological advance?

And the modern counterparts of those woolworkers might well ask further, what will happen to us if, like so many students, we go deep into debt to acquire the skills we’re told we need, only to learn that the economy no longer wants those skills?

Education, then, is no longer the answer to rising inequality, if it ever was (which I doubt).

So what is the answer? If the picture I’ve drawn is at all right, the only way we could have anything resembling a middleclass society — a society in which ordinary citizens have a reasonable assurance of maintaining a decent life as long as they work hard and play by the rules — would be by having a strong social safety net, one that guarantees not just health care but a minimum income, too. And with an ever-rising share of income going to capital rather than labor, that safety net would have to be paid for to an important extent via taxes on profits and/or investment income.

I can already hear conservatives shouting about the evils of “redistribution.” But what, exactly, would they propose instead?

Most of us engage in matter-of-fact boasting Brooks continued from 8 ture. Meanwhile, the rival status hierarchies have fallen away. The meritocratic hierarchy of professional success is pretty much the only one left standing.

As a result, people are less ambivalent about commerce.

We use economic categories, like “human capital” and “opportunity costs,” in a wide range of spheres. People are less worried about what William James called the “moral flabbiness” of the “bitch-goddess success,” and are more likely to use professional standing as a measure of

life performance.

Words like character, which once suggested traits like renunciation that held back success, now denote traits like self-discipline, which enhance it.

Many rich people once felt compelled to try to square their happiness at being successful with their embarrassment about it. They adopted what Charles Murray calls a code of seemliness (no fancy clothes or cars).

Not long ago, many people covered their affluence with a bohemian patina, but that patina has grown increasingly thin.

Now most of us engage in

more matter-of-fact boasting: the car stickers that describe the driver’s summers on Martha’s Vineyard, the college window stickers, the mass embrace of luxury brands, even the currency of “likes” on Facebook and Reddit as people unabashedly seek popularity.

The culture probably was more dynamic when there were competing status hierarchies.

When there is one hegemonic hierarchy, as there is today, the successful are less haunted by their own status and the less successful have nowhere to hide.

The West Routt Fire Protection District wants voters to reconsider chipping in more money each year to help fund emergency services, and the issue appears destined to be placed on November’s ballot.

The fire district last asked voters the tax-increase question in November 2011, when it wanted property owners to about double their annual contributions. If the tax increase had passed, property owners with a house having $200,000 of assessed value would have paid about $100 each year.

Prior to the 2011 ballot question, the fire district had not asked voters for additional tax dollars in 31 years. District officials said the increase was necessary to address staffing and

equipment needs and to make the district’s funding comparable to other rural fire protection districts.

If voters approved the increase in 2011, the district’s revenues would have doubled to about $1 million annually.

The first priority for the district would have been to expand the fire station so it could house a ladder truck. The district’s next priority would have been to purchase a $1 million ladder truck.

Sixty percent of residents within the 200-square-mile district cast ballots against the tax increase proposed by Referendum 5A. The district includes Hayden, the Hayden Station power plant and Yampa Valley Regional Airport.

Ross Fralick, president of the fire district’s board, said they are taking a different approach this time when it comes to asking property

owners to pay more.

“We learned a lot last time,” said Fralick, who added that he thinks the vote failed for numerous reasons.

Earlier this week, a meeting was held to recruit members of the public to sit on an advisory board. Fralick said about 20 people came to the meeting, which he considered a good turnout. About a dozen people offered to sit on the advisory board.

“I’m thrilled with the response and thrilled with people saying they want to help,” Fralick said.

He said the advisory board would meet three to five times to discuss fire district needs and advise the fire board about what the district should ask voters.

“They may change our minds quite differently,” Fralick said.

Unmasking the trail fairies

Two fires currently are burning at Dinosaur National Monument.

3 wildfires burning in Moffat County Nate Waggenspack Craig Daily Press

craig

Three fires continued to burn in western Moffat County on Friday, but no structures or people are expected to be threatened after a busy 24 hours of battling fires in Northwest Colorado that began Thursday afternoon.

The Wild Fire and Hacking Fire ignited Thursday on Wild Mountain in the western part of the Dinosaur National Monument and have burned an estimated 362 and 10 acres, respectively, as of late Friday, according to a news release from monument officials.

The Wild Fire had burned about 120 acres as of Friday morning, but is in a remote area and being managed by the agency for the “benefits fire provides to the monument’s natural resources,” according to the release.

Dan Johnson, the monument’s chief of interpretation, said because it was a natural fire resulting from a lightning strike, the fire is being allowed to burn under a close eye.

“This is a natural part of the ecosystem. Because of where it’s located, because of all the different prescriptions around this fire and because it occurred naturally, we are allowing it to burn,” Johnson said. “It’s not one of those fires that’s going to suddenly explode and jump from one ridge to another. It’s going to kind of smolder and burn up the smaller bushes and grass in the area and allow for nutrients to get back into the soil and help revitalize.”

A third fire, in the Limestone Ridge area of the monument, was identified and would be suppressed, the release said. The fire did not have a name as of Friday.

Three other fires occurred after lightning strikes on the monument, part of 13 relatively small fires that ignited in Northwest Colorado on Thursday.

Six of the fires were in western Moffat County on Bureau of Land Management land. Five more, including the two that have not been contained, started in Dinosaur National Monument.

One fire was on private land in

western Moffat County, and the other broke out in Routt National Forest on the Mad Creek Trail, according to a news release from the BLM Little Snake Field Office.

All but one of the fires were caused by lightning and most were less than 1 acre in size, said Lynn Barclay, public information officer for the Northwest Colorado Fire Management Unit. The Mad Creek fire in Routt County’s cause still was under investigation Friday.

There was no structure damage and no injuries reported from any fire.

A helicopter was assisting crews Friday on the Wild Fire.

Crews also returned to the contained fires in an effort to prevent holdover fires, which are reignited fires that can happen after days of smoldering.

The Bureau of Land Management, Moffat County Sheriff’s Office, Dinosaur National Monument, Browns Park Wildlife Refuge and the Maybell Volunteer Fire Department responded to the fires. The one fire that did not originate from lightning, on the Mad Creek Trail in Routt County, is under investigation Friday.

Ever wonder where those sweet singletrack trails come from and who maintains them? Despite local folklore, it’s not the “trail fairies,” but Routt County Riders volunteers and the RCR Trails Committee who work with local land managers to help make Matheny great singletrack happen.

Many trails in the county are on public land managed by the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. Both agencies devote as many resources as they can to maintaining trails, but staffing and funding just can’t cover all of the needed maintenance. RCR helps fill the maintenance gap. Maintaining existing trails is one of the club’s priorities, and trail work crews are out practically every week this summer. Locations for trail work range from Emerald Mountain and Steamboat Ski Area to Mad Creek and Red Dirt in more rural parts of the county.

Before any trail work happens, a lot of administrative and organizational stuff must be done. The land management agency and RCR sign agreements that describe each party’s liabilities, responsibilities and expectations. Specific projects are agreed upon, dates are set and volunteers are solicited. When the day arrives, volunteers meet at the designated location and

the RCR trail crew leader brings tools (owned by RCR) and food for breakfast and lunch (typically donated by local businesses and restaurants).

Each trail session begins with a safety meeting to discuss safe use of the tools and avoiding any potential hazards specific to the project. Then we grab the tools and head up the trail to the work site, where the goal for the day might be to stabilize a creek crossing, repair erosion damage, level and stabilize the tread surface or trim vegetation to improve visibility along the trail corridor.

Crews use a variety of tools including shovels, pruners, saws, pulaksis and McLeods to move rocks and soil, chop roots and rake the tread surface so that it is durable, sustainable, safe and fun for all trail users. All of the work is done in a very thoughtful way in harmony with the existing trail and surroundings. Depending on the day, crew size can vary from five to 20 people but typically is on the smaller side. Everyone on the crew works at his or her own pace, and all of the

work is appreciated.

During a recent morning work session, eight mountain bikers, two groups of hikers and a lady on horseback traveled through the work area and expressed gratitude for the improvements that were being made. Of the six folks on the crew that day, each of us knew a couple of the others, but we also made some new friends.

One was not a RCR member, just a trail user wanting to give back to the trails he uses. Another volunteer said, “There’s nothing more satisfying than riding a trail you helped create or maintain. I figure if I ride all summer, giving a day to the trails just feels right.”

At the end of the day, everyone had a good time and departed with a welldeserved sense of accomplishment. Upcoming work sessions can be found at www.routtcountyriders.org, and volunteers always are welcome.

Paul Matheny serves on Routt County Riders’ board of directors.

Crews battling the most destructive wildfire in Colorado history say they were better prepared to take on the flames because of lessons learned fighting last year’s Waldo Canyon Fire, a similarly devastating blaze that devoured hundreds of homes and killed two people only a few miles away.

When the thickly wooded rural region north of Colorado Springs known as the Black Forest began to burn this week, authorities swiftly evacuated tens of thousands of people from a swath of land larger than the Denver metropolitan area. They

immediately began hand-counting destroyed houses to get information out to nervous homeowners. And they rushed federal troops and aircraft into action, cutting the red tape that had grounded those resources a year ago as smoke clouds billowed over Colorado.

Within an hour, El Paso County had its emergency operations center up and running and summoned aircraft from nearby Peterson Air Force base. Rep. Doug Lamborn called the federal center in Idaho that coordinates western firefighting to speed up the process of clearing the planes. Gov. John Hickenlooper mobilized the Colorado National Guard, and troops began to help secure the rapidly growing evacuation zone.

“We’ve done it all before and so there was no question,” said Nicola Sapp, El Paso County budget officer. “Everybody jumped right in.”

The cause of the blaze is under investigation.

Before the fire got out of hand, authorities evacuated people miles away, sending deputies door-to-door to ensure everyone left. They remembered the speed

at which last year’s fire spread.

“That’s one thing I’ll never forget — how fast that Waldo Canyon Fire moved,” said El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa, who was bowled over by how rapidly help arrived this week.

The latest blaze raced through the rural reaches of the metro area, doubling in size overnight and charring at least 389 buildings. The bodies of two people were found inside their garage Thursday, their car doors open as if they had been about to flee.

Some Waldo Canyon evacuees endured days without knowing whether their houses survived. So Maketa sent deputies in at night to survey neighborhoods. It was a painstaking, risky process as ashes smoldered around them while they strained to determine the addresses of charred properties. About 24 hours later, the department began releasing the addresses of houses that were lost.

It might take two weeks to get a perfect count, but the sheriff decided to err on the side of rapidly releasing information.

Encana shuts 32 gas wells due to wildfires GLENWOOD SPRINGS

Encana Corp. has shut down 32 natural gas wells in central Colorado because of a nearby wildfire.

Company spokesman Doug Hock said Friday that the shutdowns are just a precaution. Garfield County officials said two wells owned by WPX Energy also have been shut down.

Maria Pina, of Colorado River Fire Rescue, said the fire is located about a quarter mile from some of the wells, but no structures are currently threatened. She said the fire is expected to be under control soon.

Garfield County sheriff’s spokesman Walt Stowe said several wildfires broke out Thursday because of lightning strikes.

The largest fire, in the Beaver Creek and Porcupine Creek areas near the wells, covered 6 acres and was quickly knocked down.

By Friday, firefighters reported some progress. The blaze was only 5 percent contained, and could take another devastating turn at any moment. But authorities considered lifting a few of the evacuation orders as soon as the weekend.

A parolee suspected of killing Colorado’s prisons chief had a list with him when he died that included the names and addresses of other Colorado officials, the El Paso County sheriff said Friday.

Sheriff Terry Maketa said the document was found with Evan Ebel after Ebel was fatally wounded in a shootout with Texas authorities in March.

Ebel is suspected of killing Colorado Department of Corrections chief Tom Clements at his home in El Paso County as well as a Denver-area pizza delivery driver, Nathan Leon, before he died in Texas. Maketa’s department is leading the investigation into Clements’ death.

Maketa said Friday that he did not recall if Clements’ name was on the list, and that even if it was, he would not discuss it publically. The sheriff added that the list also included the names and addresses of some of Ebel’s friends. Authorities said Ebel was a member of a white supremacist prison gang.

In remarks published Friday, former Colorado parole director Tim Hand told The Denver Post that his and Clements’ names were on the list and that he

received police protection because he feared retribution from gang members who were in state prison.

Hand said police installed an alarm system in his Fort Collins home and assigned officers to guard his residence after his name came up as part of an investigation into Clements’ March 19 death, the Post reported.

“You take out the top leadership of corrections like Tom Clements and Tim Hand and you are talking about putting some stripes on people’s shoulders,” Hand told the newspaper.

Maketa said he did not know if Hand’s name was on the list. He declined to comment on any of the other claims made by Hand.

The Corrections Department announced Thursday that Hand had been dismissed, but it did not release the reason.

Hand did not return a telephone message left by The Associated Press seeking comment.

Corrections spokeswoman Alison Morgan declined to comment on the Post report Friday.

The Clements killing exposed flaws in Colorado’s criminal justice system. Ebel was released from prison four years early because of a clerical error at the court where he was sentenced.

Reaction cool to US arms plan $638 billion defense bill the Associated Press

WASHINGTON

The Obama administration hopes its decision to give lethal aid to Syrian rebels will prompt other nations to beef up assistance, now that the U.S. has cited evidence that the Syrian government used chemical weapons against its people. But the international reaction Friday ranged from flat-out disbelief of the U.S. intelligence assessments to calls for negotiation before more weapons pour into the vicious civil war.

The administration now said it has “high confidence” that President Bashar Assad’s forces have killed as many as 150 people with sarin gas. Although that’s a tiny percentage of the approximately 93,000 killed in the civil war so far, the use of a chemical weapon crosses President Barack Obama’s “red line” for escalating U.S. involvement in the conflict and prompted

THIS WEEK AT

the decision to send arms and ammunition, not just humanitarian aid and defensive nonlethal help like armored vests and night goggles.

The administration’s plan heading into the G8 meeting of industrialized nations beginning Monday is to use the chemical weapons announcement and Obama’s decision on arms to persuade Russia to increase pressure on Assad to send a credible negotiating team to Geneva for talks with the opposition.

In addition, Obama is expected to use the G8 meeting and discussions on the sidelines to further coordinate with the British, French and potentially others an increase of assistance — lethal, non-lethal and humanitarian — to the rebels, the political opposition and refugees.

In a letter to U.N. Secretary General Ban-Ki Moon, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice said the United States has determined that sarin was used in a

March 19 attack on the Aleppo suburb of Khan al-Assal and in an April 13 attack on the neighborhood of Shaykh Maqsud. She said unspecified chemicals, possibly including chemical warfare agents, were used May 14 in an attack on Qasr Abu Samrah and in a May 23 attack on Adra.

U.S. officials have not disclosed any details about the weapons they intend to send to Syria or when and how they will be delivered. According to officials, the U.S. is most likely to provide the rebel fighters with small arms, ammunition, assault rifles and a variety of anti-tank weaponry such as shoulder-fired rocket-propelled grenades and other missiles.

As of Friday, however, no final decisions had been made on the details or when it would reach the rebels, according to the officials, who insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss internal administration discussions with reporters.

The House overwhelmingly passed a sweeping, $638 billion defense bill Friday that imposes new punishments on members of the armed services found guilty of rape or sexual assault as outrage about the crisis in the military has galvanized Congress.

Ignoring a White House veto threat, the Republican-controlled House voted for the legislation, 315-108, which would block President Barack Obama from closing the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and limit his efforts to reduce nuclear weapons.

The House bill containing the provisions on sex-related crimes that the Obama administration supports as well as the detention policies that it vigorously opposes must be reconciled with a Senate version before heading to the president’s desk. The Senate measure, expected to be considered this fall, costs $13 billion less than the House bill — a budgetary difference that also will have to be resolved.

The defense policy bill authorizes money for aircraft, weapons, ships, personnel and the

war in Afghanistan in the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1 while blocking the Pentagon from closing domestic bases.

Shocking statistics that as many as 26,000 military members may have been sexually assaulted last year and highprofile incidences at the service academies and in the ranks pushed lawmakers to tackle the growing problem of sexual assault. A single case of a commander overturning a conviction — a decision that even Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel couldn’t change — drove Congress to act swiftly.

Both the House and Senate were determined to shake up the military’s culture in ways that would ensure victims that if they reported crimes, their allegations wouldn’t be discounted or their careers jeopardized.

“This is a self-inflicted wound that has no place in the military,” Rep. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., who lost both legs and partial use of an arm in a rocket-propelled grenade attack in Iraq, told her colleagues in the final moments of debate Friday.

The House bill would require a mandatory minimum sentence of two years in prison for a member of the armed services convicted of rape or sexual assault in a military court.

Newtown marks anniversary the Associated Press

NEWTOWN, Conn.

The town where 20 children and six educators were massacred in December went silent for a moment Friday, six months later, at a remembrance event that doubled as a call to action on weapons control, with the reading of names of thousands of victims of gun violence.

The mood of the six-month marker was decidedly more political than private, with a group called Mayors Against Illegal Guns holding events in 10 states calling for lawmakers to expand background checks and urging senators who opposed the bill to reconsider.

Two sisters of slain teacher Victoria Soto addressed a crowd gathered at Edmond Town Hall in Newtown for a 26-second moment of silence, honoring the 20 children and six adults gunned

down at the school Dec. 14.

“This pain is excruciating and unbearable, but thanks to people like you, that come out and support us, we are able to get through this,” said Carlee Soto, who hugged and held hands with her sister Jillian before taking the stage.

The event then transitioned to the reading of the names of more than 5,000 Americans killed with guns since the tragedy in Newtown. The reading of names was expected to take 12 hours.

Mayors Against Illegal Guns, which organized the event in Newtown, also launched a bus tour that will travel to 25 states during 100 days to build support for legislation to expand background checks for gun buyers.

Such legislation failed in the Senate in April, and there are no indications it has gained traction because of concerns about protecting gun rights.

The gunman in Newtown killed his mother and the 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School with a semiautomatic rifle, then committed suicide as police arrived. The shooting led some relatives of victims to campaign for tougher gun laws, including some who were in Washington this week lobbying lawmakers for action.

Jillian and Carlee Soto met with President Barack Obama as they campaigned for gun control.

“He just told us to have faith,” said Jillian Soto, 24. “It isn’t something that happens overnight. It’s something that you have to continue to fight for. Within good time we will have this passed and we will have change.”

Carlee Soto, 20, said they got back from Washington at 2 a.m.

She said that the president and vice president spoke of waging a long battle and that she plans to continue her efforts, as well.

AP: Commander of Nazi unit lives in Minnesota BERLIN

A top commander of a Nazi SS-led unit accused of burning villages filled with women and children lied to American immigration officials to get into the United States and has been living in Minnesota since shortly after World War II, according to evidence uncovered by The Associated Press.

Michael Karkoc, 94, told American authorities in 1949 that he had performed no military service during World War II, concealing his work as an officer and founding member of the SS-led Ukrainian Self Defense Legion and later as an officer in the SS Galician Division, according to records obtained by the AP through a Freedom of Information Act request. The Galician Division and a Ukraini-

Hezbollah leader says they will keep fighting in Syria BEIRUT

Hezbollah’s leader vowed Friday that his militants would keep fighting in Syria “wherever needed” after the U.S. agreed to arm the rebels in the civil war, setting up a proxy fight between Iran and the West that threatens to engulf more of the Middle East.

President Barack Obama has deepened U.S. involvement in the conflict, authorizing lethal aid to the rebels for the first time after Washington said it had conclusive evidence the Syrian regime had used chemical weapons.

Syria accused Obama of lying about the evidence, saying he was resorting to fabrications to justify his decision to arm the rebels.

Reform-minded Iranians who have faced years of crackdowns looked Friday to claw back a bit of ground in a presidential election that gave them an unexpected hero and a chance to upend a vote that once appeared solidly in the hands of Tehran’s ruling clerics.

While Iran’s presidential elections offer a window into the political pecking orders and security grip inside the country — particularly since the chaos from a disputed outcome in 2009 — they lack the drama of truly high stakes as the country’s ruling clerics and their military guardians remain the ultimate powers.

Election officials began the ballot count after voters waited in line for hours in wilting heat at some polling stations in downtown Tehran and other cities, while others cast ballots across the vast country from desert outposts to Gulf seaports and nomad pastures. Voting was extended by five hours to meet demand, but also as possible political stagecraft to showcase the participation.

an nationalist organization he served in were both on a secret American government blacklist of organizations whose members were forbidden from entering the United States at the time.

Though records do not show that Karkoc had a direct hand in war crimes, statements from men in his unit and other documentation confirm the Ukrainian company he commanded massacred civilians, and suggest that Karkoc was at the scene of these atrocities as the company leader. Nazi SS files say he and his unit were also involved in the 1944 Warsaw Uprising, in which the Nazis brutally suppressed a Polish rebellion against German occupation.

Polish prosecutors announced Friday after the release of the AP investigation that they will investigate Karkoc and provide “every possible assistance” to the U.S. Department of Justice, which has used lies in immigration papers to deport dozens of suspected Nazi war criminals. The AP evidence of Karkoc’s wartime activities also has prompted German authorities to express interest in exploring whether there is enough to prosecute.

TEHRAN, Iran

ing heavy fighting Friday in Syria’s largest city of Aleppo, appealed for the weapons to be sent to them as soon as possible to swing the momentum to their side.

The 2-year-old conflict, which the U.N. estimates has killed more than 90,000 people and displaced millions, is increasingly being fought along sectarian lines, pitting Sunni against Shiite Muslims, and is threatening the stability of Syria’s neighbors.

Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, chief of the Shiite Hezbollah group in Lebanon, appeared unwavering in his support for the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

He signaled for the first time the Iranian-backed militant group will stay involved in the civil war after helping Assad’s army recapture the key town of Qusair in central Homs province from rebels.

ANKARA, Turkey

Turkey’s prime minister on Friday urged a small delegation of protesters to persuade hundreds of others occupying an Istanbul park to withdraw.

Turkish activists leading a sitin were considering a promise

by Recep Tayyip Erdogan to let the courts and a potential referendum decide the fate of the much-despised Gezi Park redevelopment project — a plan that has sparked Turkey’s biggest protests in decades. The pledge was made during last-ditch negotiations after Erdogan had issued what he called a “final warning” to protesters.

The two-week standoff has damaged Erdogan’s international reputation and led to repeated interventions by riot police. After initially inflaming tensions by dubbing the protesters “terrorists,” the prime minister has moderated his stance in closed-door talks in the last few days.

But Erdogan told party members Friday that the protesters in the park had “stayed long enough.”

Phillies Bucking broncs rally to overtake Rockies Dennis Georgatos the Associated Press

DENVER

Freddy Galvis hit two 2-run triples and scored the go-ahead run on Humberto Quintero’s single, and the Philadelphia Phillies rallied from a five-run deficit to beat the Colorado Rockies, 8-7, on Friday night.

The Phillies overcame home runs by Carlos Gonzalez and Josh Rutledge, who was recalled from Triple A Colorado Springs earlier in the day to fill the roster spot left vacant by the loss of slugging shortstop Troy Tulowitzki to a broken rib.

Tulowitzki, who could miss up to six weeks, was placed on the disabled list Friday, a day after he was hurt diving for ball during a 5-4 loss to Washington.

Trailing 7-2 going into the sixth, the Phillies chased Rockies starter Juan Nicasio and pulled to within 7-5 on the first of Galvis’ 2-run triples and a run-scoring groundout by Quintero.

They went ahead with a three-run seventh. Domonic Brown singled off reliever Josh Outman to start the inning and after Ryan Howard struck out, Wilton Lopez relieved Outman.

Lopez (1-3) got Kevin Frandsen to fly out, but John Mayberry walked and Galvis shot a hard grounder down the first base line for his second triple of the night, scoring Brown and Mayberry to even the score at 7-all.

Quintero singled Galvis home to give the Phillies their first lead.

Jonathan Papelbon gave up a one-out single in the ninth to Gonzalez, who went 4 for 4, but he came back to strike out Michael Cuddyer and retire Todd Helton on a groundout for his 13th save in as many chances. Michael Stutes (2-0) pitched a scoreless inning in relief for the win Gonzalez, who bruised his left foot Thursday when he was struck by a foul liner while waiting in the on-deck circle, gave the Rockies the lead when he connected off Kyle Kendrick in the first for his 19th home run.

Gonzalez’s solo shot was the first of seven runs Kendrick gave up, matching his career high.

The right move Steamboat girls basketball coach headed to ThunderRidge Luke Graham

Steamboat Today

Steamboat Springs

John Ameen took over a Steamboat Springs High School girls basketball team with little success and only a few wins.

His last game as coach, a second-round loss in the state tournament this past season, marked the furthest the Sailors had advanced in the playoffs in more than 15 years.

After seven years as the head coach, Ameen resigned earlier this week to take a teaching and coaching position at ThunderRidge High School.

“It’s something I’ve wanted to do the last couple years,” Ameen said. “With the job market improving I was able to hop on this opportunity. It’s not one thing. It’s a whole bunch of things.”

Ameen will teach AP psychology and history at the high school.

He said he had been looking to get back to a bigger city for a while and that he wanted to go somewhere where he could teach and coach.

Ameen said the move was for an advancement in his career, but that the coaching opportunities factored into it.

“There are nine high schools in the district,” he said. “That means there are 18 different head coaching positions I could take over the next few years. It’s a different culture where athletics is taken very, very seriously. It’s a whole different level.”

ThunderRidge has been a top basketball program in Colorado. The Douglas County school annually contends for state championships in both boys and girls basketball.

The girls basketball team has won three state championships and produced multiple AllAmericans.

The boys and girls team each

won a state championship in 2003.

“I think John’s done a great job building that program,” Steamboat Athletics Director Luke DeWolfe said. “He’s one of those coaches that has put a lot of time, energy and effort into it. It’s become a program I think people can be proud of in terms what he was able to do and able to achieve this year.”

After pursuing other opportunities and coaching positions, Ameen said the Douglas County School District and its athletic programs fit into what he wants to do. He has opportunities to be an assistant on either the boys or girls team at ThunderRidge.

He hasn’t made a decision yet, but said after talking to each coach he’ll see where he best fits.

“I didn’t need to leave,” he said. “I had a great thing going in the classroom and a good thing going with the program. It really

needed to be the right fit.”

Other positions still open Steamboat Springs High School still is looking for more coaches. The school lists head positions available for baseball, boys lacrosse and girls basketball. It also has openings for an assistant boys soccer coach, a freshmen boys basketball coach and a speech coach.

DeWolfe said he has had applicants for several of the positions but is looking for a larger pool of candidates.

The boys lacrosse program should be especially enticing because the team made the Final Four this past season.

“I think finding a qualified person who can live in Steamboat is always a challenge, especially if there isn’t a teaching position,” DeWolfe said.

DeWolfe said he hoped to have all the positions filled by the beginning of August.

A pro in the making

Enter drawing to win a $50 Mambo certificate

Steamboat Springs’ Colleen King builds on junior season Steamboat Springs

Colleen King is volleyball’s paradox.

Perhaps the nicest girl in the game specializes in a statistic known as kills.

The most courteous young woman off the court steps onto the hardwood and transforms her arms from hug givers to messengers of loss and humiliation.

She will smile and wish her opponents the best with a handshake only moments before issuing them a spiked ball that will either sting emotionally as it echoes off the floor, or sting physically as it leaves an imprint on their bodies.

“She had a personality that was wonderfully gentle while at the same time extremely competitive,” said Wendy Hall, King’s former coach at Steamboat Springs High School.

As King enters her senior season at the University of Denver, another paradox is apparent. She faces her third conference change in three years this year. Her team first went from the Sunbelt Conference to the Western Athletic Conference last season, and now is transferring to the Summit League this year. But King has anything but a bitter attitude toward the adversity.

“I’ve been to almost every single state with being in the Sunbelt, the WAC and now the Summit League. I think it will

be a great opportunity. It’s a conference we can do well in,” King said.

The University of Denver volleyball team should find success in the Summit League if King continues putting up solid numbers.

She finished last season with 342 kills, a .273 hitting percentage and ranked among the top 250 Division I volleyball players in blocks per set and points per set with 0.96 and 3.6, respectively. She put up career match highs with a .700 hitting percentage against the University of Virginia and 22 kills against Utah State University.

Horschel takes clubhouse lead

HOME OF THE BEST MARGARITAS IN TOWN!

Billy Horschel hit all 18 greens in regulation. Hard to think of a better way to climb to the top of the leaderboard at the U.S. Open.

He shot 3-under 67, sufficiently managing the nasty rough and hard-to-read greens to become the clubhouse leader late in the second round Friday at the Merion Golf Club.

Horschel was 1 under with a 139 total, posting one of the few red numbers on a trying day for much of the field. He missed the cut in his only previous U.S. Open, in 2006, but won recently for the first time on the PGA Tour at the Zurich Classic.

“I’ve acquired some patience, not as much as I wish I had,” said the 26-year-old from Jacksonville Beach, Fla. “But I just think that the older I get, the more mature I get on the golf course, the more understanding that if I do have a bad stretch of holes, it’s not that I don’t hit the

panic button, I just don’t press right away.”

Phil Mickelson held the solo lead for much of the afternoon, but he missed birdie chances during a streak of 10 consecutive pars. He then 3-putted No. 12 for a bogey and dropped another stroke when he put his tee shot in the sand on the short par-3 13th, the easiest hole on the course.

Seconds later, Steve Stricker, playing in Mickelson’s group, sank a birdie putt from about 15 feet to move into a tie with Horschel for the lead. Justin Rose also was at 1 under on the back nine.

Hoping to build on his own 67 from Thursday, Mickelson put his first shot in a bunker and 3-putted the first hole for a bogey. He was in rough and sand at No. 2, but he recovered to start the run of pars, avoiding even the distraction of a groundhog — a relative of Punxsutawney Phil? — who made a mad

dash across the fairway at No. 6. Mickelson lipped out a 4-foot birdie putt at No. 8.

A five-time runner-up seeking his first U.S. Open title, Mickelson had the luxury of a late tee time, much needed after he showed up with just a few hours to spare for the opening round so he could attend his daughter’s eighthgrade graduation in California.

It turned out to be a gift. While Mickelson was able to rest Friday morning, much of the field endured the ordeal of finishing a delayed first round followed by a second round with little break in between.

By the time Mickelson teed off, only he and Belgium’s Nicolas Colsaerts were under par.

Colsaerts shot a 69 in the first round, but he fell off the pace Friday with three bogeys on the front nine.

As for the weather, the sun stayed around for most of the afternoon after play began in a cool drizzle that was far gentler than the storms that interrupted play twice Thursday.

Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews got another victory Friday. The trophy he wants the most still is up for grabs.

Toews won the Frank J. Selke award, given to the NHL’s best defensive forward. He emerged from a trio of finalists that included fellow centers Patrice Bergeron, of the Boston Bruins, and Pavel Datsyuk, of the Detroit Red Wings.

Toews helped the Blackhawks advance past Datsyuk and the Red Wings in the second round of the playoffs. He

currently is competing against Bergeron and the Bruins in the Stanley Cup finals.

The Blackhawks lead the series, 1-0, with Game 2 scheduled for tonight in Chicago.

“To be able to go head to head with guys like that in the playoffs and to know them from the past, you understand how much they mean to their teams and how much they contribute offensively and defensively,” Toews said. “To be talked about in the same sentence and compared to those guys is absolutely amazing. So it’s a special award to win.”

The 25-year-old Toews was third in the NHL with a plus-28 rating in 47 games in the regular season, helping Chicago post the most points in the NHL. He also was a finalist for the Selke after the 2010-11 season.

Bergeron, who won the Selke Trophy last year, earned a different honor this season. He was awarded the King Clancy Memorial Trophy for leadership and humanitarian contributions to the community.

Also Friday, Paul MacLean, of the Ottawa Senators, won the Jack Adams Award, given to the NHL’s coach of the year.

The top executive honor went to Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Ray Shero. The Lady Byng trophy for the NHL’s most sportsmanlike player was given to Tampa Bay Lightning forward Martin St. Louis for the third time in four seasons.

“I don’t think you start the season thinking you’re going to win the Lady Byng, but all in all, you just try to push the envelope without getting caught, I guess,” St. Louis said.

“You play hard and stay out of the box, but at the same time by no means you’re going through the season trying to accomplish that.”

MacLean, a finalist for the second straight year, led Ottawa to the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference while overcoming the prolonged absences of several key players. Chicago’s Joel Quenneville and Bruce Boudreau, of the Anaheim Ducks, also were up for the award.

Bosh is coming up big for Heat THe AssociATed Press

SAN ANTONIO

LeBron James and Dwyane Wade lingered at the edge of the court for a few extra moments after Game 4 of the NBA Finals, waiting to tend to one last piece of business.

They wanted to shake Chris Bosh’s hand.

By now, it’s not a surprise when the biggest man in Miami’s trio of stars gets overshadowed, which surely seemed to be the case once again in the game that essentially saved any hope the Heat have at winning their second straight NBA title. James scored 33 points in his best game of the finals and Wade played his best game in about three months with 32 points, but Bosh’s 20-point, 13-rebound effort in Miami’s 109-93 win over San Antonio was not lost on the Heat.

“He got into the battle. He got into the fight,” Wade said.

“He played big for us. Thirteen rebounds, that’s what we need from him and obviously 20 points. He played the way that we love to see Chris Bosh play.”

Put another way, if Bosh keeps playing like this, there could be another parade down Biscayne Boulevard in a few days.

Maligned throughout much of the playoffs for relying almost too much on the long jumper and 3-point shot — he’s exceptional from the outside for a big man, but went 0 for 4 from 3-point range in Miami’s loss in Game 1 of the finals — Bosh quietly changed his approach.

In the next three games of the finals, he’s taken one 3-pointer, and that was a meaningless misfire with the Heat down by 26 points midway through the fourth quarter of San Antonio’s romp in Game 3. He’s had three straight double-doubles, just the second time that’s happened all season.

He’s stayed in more comfortable offensive locales inside the arc, and has totaled 44 points and 33 rebounds in the most recent three games of the series — three more points and three more rebounds than the Spurs’ Tim Duncan has collected in that span.

Yes, the NBA found him guilty of flopping in Game 4, fining him $5,000 for his armsflailing fall after a nudge by Duncan.

Overall, though, Bosh was anything but a flop in a game that kept Miami from going into what would have been a dreaded 3-1 hole.

NBA FINALS Manu’s misfires worrying Spurs in the NBA Finals SAN ANTONIO

What’s the matter with Manu?

Manu Ginobili isn’t scoring. His game is now careless instead of famously creative. In these NBA Finals, where LeBron James and Dwyane Wade just delivered a forceful reminder in Game 4 about stars deciding this series, the San Antonio Spurs are still waiting on one of their biggest.

The impatience is starting to show.

“He’s having a tough playoffs, and hasn’t really found a rhythm or found his game yet,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said Friday. “I think that he’s obviously not as confident as usual, and he knows full well he hasn’t performed the way he would like and the way he’s used to. But it’s simplistic to say, ‘What are we going to do to get him going?”’

Simplistic, maybe. But their prospects of winning a fifth title may hinge on just that.

Ginobili scored five points in 26 minutes in a 109-93 loss Thursday, knotting the series heading into San Antonio’s final home game Sunday. He’s shooting just 34 percent against the Heat and is averaging 7.5 points, down from his 11.8 scoring average during the season.

Overall, Ginobili has shot 38 percent in the playoffs, a career worst. Only one of his last 11 tries from behind the 3-point line has connected. It got so bad in Game 4 that even the Baseline Bums, a boisterous section of Spurs die-hards in the AT&T Center where the wily Ginobili is most beloved, yelled for the Argentine to quit jacking up shots.

Ginobili seems to be getting fed up, too. He looked bothered by questions about his persistent struggles after shooting 1 for 5 on Thursday and tying his third-lowest scoring game in 21 career Finals appearances.

The other time he managed just five points in the Finals?

Game 2 in this same series.

“It’s not that I’ve scored 30 a game this year,” Ginobili said.

“I’m surprised. I wish I could score more. But it’s not happening. I got to try to do other stuff. I’ve got to move the ball.

If the shot is not falling, I’ve got to be sharp feeding the bigs and finding the shooters. I don’t have to force the issue. That’s not what I do. That’s not what I’m asked to do.”
