t was great to get wind last week of a former longtime colleague, Neil Cantwell. A loveable curmudgeon if ever there was one, Cantwell wrote a weekly fishing and hunting column for the Steamboat Pilot for more than 20 years. He wrote Tom Ross Outdoors PILOT & TODAY under the pen name Carl Creel, although his picture ran with every column. The column published every week without fail from 1971 until about 1993. Cantwell learned to fly fish on the blue ribbon trout streams of southwest Montana, but he somehow managed to get himself exiled to Denver. After sampling the trout fishing in Northwest Colorado, he snagged a job with the Steamboat Springs Police Department. He was the guy who would open your car when you locked the keys inside one day and then heartlessly give you a parking ticket the next week. He saved all his charm for his wife, Delphine, and for sweet-talking ranchers along the Elk and Yampa rivers to gain permission to fish. Cantwell also achieved some measure of immortality in 1981 when he published a collection

You can find it up there on the second floor with the fancier fly fishing books. I lost track of Cantwell at least 15 years ago after he bailed out of Steamboat to live in Grand Junction. Out of the blue this week, a new column from Carl Creel arrived in my e-mail inbox. His daughter, Candice, explained to me that this column was a labor of love for the valley he left behind; Delphine died last October. Neil’s hearing is quite poor, and he has lost much of his vision. So, Neil Cantwell, one of the best and most persistent anglers

Here is some of what Neil wrote this month: “Truth be told, my move to the mountains from smoggy crowded Denver wasn’t that difficult. During the mid- to late 1960s I had spent some time fishing in and around the Steamboat Springs area. “Finding the lovely Elk River to my liking, I knocked on rancher John Fetcher’s door.

Sunpies building purchased Bucking Rainbow buys river frontage; Bistro lands new lease Tom Ross

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

John and Jaret Duty, of Bucking Rainbow Outfitters, got the ideal tubing location they’ve long coveted, and Mike and Colleen Miller got the new lease they needed for Sunpies Bistro. The Dutys, through the new business entity Bucking Rainbow LLC, recently closed on the purchase of the building at 735 Yampa St. that houses Sunpies. They purchased the building for $1.2 million from James Reichert. John Duty confirmed Monday that Sunpies has a new fiveyear lease and is in the longterm plans for the property. “That’s the idea,” Duty said. “As long as Mike and Colleen want to be there.” The building was tentatively slated for demolition to make room for a new development two years ago. The Millers had an option to take a new space in the redeveloped site. Now, the economy has soured, the development is off, and Sunpies has the opportunity to stay put. Sunpies is closed Mondays,

and the Millers could not be reached for comment. Duty said his company, with a retail store at 730 Lincoln Ave., has city permits that allow it to rent about 100 tubes to floaters on week days and 150 on weekends. However, the business has been limited without a permanent river-front location. “We’ve been trying for a good while to get our foot in the door

on Yampa Street,” Duty said. “We first tried to buy this same building when it was a computer store.” Duty said his tubing operation will occupy the space formerly occupied by Sweet Pea Market before its owners purchased the building next door, also from Reichert.

In the 19 years since Joe Kboudi and John Waldman started the Steamboat Springs Free Summer Concert Series with two shows on the Routt County Courthouse lawn, the concerts have grown into a fivepart collection of shows with an average attendance of 4,000 people. Multi-styled jam band Rusted Root starts the 2009 lineup at 7 p.m. Saturday, with Knock on Wood — a band of Steamboat Springs High School students — opening the set at 6 p.m. at Howelsen Hill. Gates open at 5 p.m. with ski jumpers starting off the hill at 5:30 p.m. With a summer schedule that features funk from The Greyboy Allstars, pop rock from The Freddy Jones Band, blues from Susan Tedeschi and roots rock from The Avett Brothers, the 2009 series “is diverse with something for almost everyone,” said Kboudi, series president and owner of All That Jazz music store.

An alert manager stopped an attempted scam at a downtown restaurant last month, but the suspected culprit continues to call back in an attempt to steal nearly $1,000. When Mazzola’s Italian Restaurant manager Bryan Lansford received a catering order for 300 people — and an offer for an extra $1,000 payable to a courier service — he immediately suspected that the caller wasn’t on the level. The call came from a relay service, usually used by people who are hard of hearing, disabled or speak another language and cannot place the call on their own. A typical relay service will have an intermediary who takes input from the caller and talks to the person on the other end of the phone. The caller, claiming to be an elderly, hearing-impaired woman who was recently released from the hospital, asked how much it would cost to order spaghetti Bolognese with meatballs for 150, then 300 people for Mother’s Day. Lansford answered her questions, but after about 20 minutes of talking on a Friday night, the caller requested that a credit card be processed immediately. “They gave me the credit card number and wanted to know if I could charge it right away. I said no, I can’t run it right away, I have to talk to the owner,” Lansford said. He told the caller it was typical to run the card on the day the food was picked up. “They were trying so hard to get that credit card run immediately,” Lansford said. The caller then asked if Lansford could add an additional amount to the bill — nearly $1,000 — to pay the courier who was to pick up the food the following week. The caller wanted Lansford to transfer the money to the courier via Western Union. “One of the things that raised a red flag was that Bryan said

District tries to collect fees Parents owe more than $4,200 for full-day kindergarten Jack Weinstein

The first year of full-day kindergarten has presented a challenge for the Steamboat Springs School District. The district is owed $4,237.45, as of Monday morning, from 13 parents of children who attended the program last year. Superintendent Shalee Cunningham told School Board members last week that the district was actively calling parents in an effort to collect unpaid fees. At that time, the district was owed about $5,000. On Monday, she said they had some success reaching parents and would continue to make phone calls. Cunningham said she wasn’t sure what the next step would be if members struggled to collect all the outstanding fees. The full-day kindergarten program began last year, after district parents requested it. A 2008 survey of 412 parents indicated overwhelming support for the program, with 362 asking

for it. Because the Colorado Department of Education provides funding for only half-day kindergarten, parents would have to foot the bill for full-day kindergarten. In March 2008, the School Board approved tuition-based full-day kindergarten, which would begin for the 2008-09 school year. The district’s initial cost estimate was $5,720, but it ended up costing parents $2,572 for the year. The district elected to let parents pay a monthly fee, as opposed to paying a lump sum before the start of the school year. School Board President Robin Crossan said Monday that she thought the current unpaid fees could be a result of the economy. “But it doesn’t negate the fact that their students attended kindergarten last year,” she said. “I’m sure the district will work out a plan with the families.” In addition to phone calls, statements letting parents know

their accounts are past due will be sent this week, said Debbie Ginesta, assistant to the superintendent, in an e-mail Monday. “These accounts need to be paid before July 1,” she wrote. July 1 is the start of the next fiscal year. Last year, 80 students attended full-day kindergarten in four classes split between Soda Creek and Strawberry Park elementary schools. For 2009-10, 126 students have been enrolled. At Soda Creek, four classes will consist of 18 students each. And at Strawberry Park, there will be three classes, each with 18 students. Enrollment has been capped. Each school also offers one half-day kindergarten class. Next year’s tuition for fullday kindergarten is $2,250. A 10 percent down payment is due Aug. 1. Monthly payments of $225 begin Sept. 1 and continue through May 1, 2010. The cost is $322 less than last year. — To reach Jack Weinstein, call 871-4203 or e-mail jweinstein@steamboatpilot.com

COMMENTARY

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

The hard part Ross Douthat

THE NEW YORK TIMES

There was one small consolation for Republicans amid November’s shellacking. For at least four years, their opponents would enjoy the dubious pleasure of trying to govern the United States of America. Late on election night, while the confetti swirled in Blue America, more than a few veterans of the Bush years no doubt hoisted a toast to the exuberant liberals: Good Douthat luck with that. Oh, it seems easy at first. The press is kind; the Congress is pliant; the country loves you. You’re a breath of fresh air after the previous administration’s excesses. Your first attempts at big-ticket legislation shoulder their way into law. The opposition party looks easily divided, easily co-

opted and deeply out of touch. But eventually the hard part arrives. For Barack Obama, it may have started last week, courtesy of the abacus-wielding wonks at the Congressional Budget Office. First, the CBO slapped a $1 trillion price tag on Chris Dodd and Ted Kennedy’s version of health care reform — a figure, it noted, that would buy coverage for only a third of America’s uninsured. A day later, the CBO priced the Senate Finance Committee’s more self-consciously centrist draft of health care legislation. The good news: The bill would cover more than two-thirds of the uninsured. The bad news: It would cost $1.6 trillion in 10 years. These are scary numbers, for a country headed for a fiscal cliff — scary enough to send the Finance Committee scrambling to craft a cheaper version of its bill, and scary enough to give liberals flashbacks to

the collapse of Clintoncare. But they aren’t actually surprising numbers. The current U.S. health care system is, by general agreement, overpriced, bloated and hugely inefficient. And if you expand a bloated, inefficient system, it stands to reason that you’ll end up with billions or even trillions more in bloat and inefficiency. In a world without political constraints, it wouldn’t be hard to create a fiscally responsible alternative. Conservatives would encourage people to self-ration, by putting a certain number of health care dollars directly in their hands and leaving the rest to market forces. Liberals would ration more directly, by slow-walking Americans into a public health care system, whose cost-conscious, evidence-weighing bureaucracy would pay for procedure X but not procedure Y, surgery P but not prescription drug Q. See Douthat, page 9

Health care showdown Paul Krugman

THE NEW YORK TIMES

America’s political scene has changed immensely since the last time a Democratic president tried to reform health care. So has the health care picture: With costs soaring and insurance dwindling, nobody can now say with a straight face that the U.S. health care system is OK. And if surveys like the New York Times/CBS News poll released last weekend are any indication, voters are ready for major change. Krugman The question now is whether we will nonetheless fail to get that change, because a few Democratic senators still are determined to party like it’s 1993. And yes, I mean Democratic senators. The Republicans, with a few pos-

MALLARD FILLMORE

sible exceptions, have decided to do all they can to make the Obama administration a failure. Their role in the health care debate is purely that of spoilers who keep shouting the old slogans — Government-run health care! Socialism! Europe! — hoping that someone still cares. The polls suggest that hardly anyone does. Voters, it seems, strongly favor a universal guarantee of coverage, and they mostly accept the idea that higher taxes may be needed to achieve that guarantee. What’s more, they overwhelmingly favor precisely the feature of Democratic plans that Republicans denounce most fiercely as “socialized medicine” — the creation of a public health insurance option that competes with private insurers. Or to put it another way, in effect voters support the health care plan jointly released by three House committees last week, which relies on a

combination of subsidies and regulation to achieve universal coverage, and introduces a public plan to compete with insurers and hold down costs. Yet it remains all too possible that health care reform will fail, as it has so many times before. I’m not that worried about the issue of costs. Yes, the Congressional Budget Office’s preliminary cost estimates for Senate plans were higher than expected and caused considerable consternation last week. But the fundamental fact is that we can afford universal health insurance — even those high estimates were less than the $1.8 trillion cost of the Bush tax cuts. Furthermore, Democratic leaders know they have to pass a health care bill for the sake of their own survival. One way or another, the numbers will be brought in line. The real risk is that health care See Krugman, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

VIEWPOINTS

Obama tries to tackle hard stuff in 1st term Douthat continued from 8 But, of course, Americans want their health care system to bankroll the entire alphabet — and they definitely don’t want to think about “market forces” when they’re going to the doctor. They might be willing to pay slightly higher taxes to bankroll a reform, but their ideas about what “reform” should mean are far more expensive than what health care experts have in mind. Indeed, as William Galston noted recently, the best way to satisfy the public’s health care preferences would be to start with whatever the experts — right and left — say is required to keep the system solvent and do exactly the opposite. This dynamic is particularly pronounced in health care, but it holds true across almost every domestic policy debate. Voters demand low taxes and

generous services, and neither party has found a way to say no and stay politically viable while saying it. Eventually, it’s assumed, either a liberal or a conservative majority will find a way to square this circle. But you just have to look west to California — polarized, bankrupt and essentially ungovernable — to see that there are darker possibilities. In recent years, liberalism has profited from the impasse. Liberals torpedoed the Bush administration’s attempt to trim Social Security benefits. They demagogued John McCain in 2008, when he proposed a market-based health care plan and hinted at means-testing Medicare. But now it’s their turn to actually run the country. And just as Bush-era conservatives couldn’t really make tax cuts pay for themselves, Obama-era Democrats aren’t really going

to be able to finance universal health care without substantial middle-class tax increases, or substantial spending cuts. They’re looking for both, and maybe they can pull it off. The Bush administration saved its hard choices — on health care, entitlements and taxes — for the second term, and then ran out of political capital. The Obama administration is trying to tackle the hard stuff early, while it still has that first-term glow, and the power that comes with it. But it’s just as likely that the Democrats will be forced into a choice like the one the CBO presented them with last week — a fiscally reckless health care bill that falls far short of universal coverage, or no health care bill at all. To govern is to choose. But with choices like these, liberals may find themselves pining for the days when somebody else was the decider.

Fantasy can’t be allowed to stand in way Krugman continued from 8 reform will be undermined by “centrist” Democratic senators who either prevent the passage of a bill or insist on watering down key elements of reform. I use scare quotes around “centrist,” by the way, because if the center means the position held by most Americans, the selfproclaimed centrists are in fact way out in right field. What the balking Democrats seem most determined to do is to kill the public option, either by eliminating it or by carrying out a bait-and-switch, replacing a true public option with something meaningless. For the record, neither regional health cooperatives nor state-level public plans, both of which have been proposed as alternatives, would have the financial stability and bargaining power needed to bring down health care costs. Whatever may be motivat-

ing these Democrats, they don’t seem able to explain their reasons in public. Thus Sen. Ben Nelson, of Nebraska, initially declared that the public option — which, remember, has overwhelming popular support — was a “deal-breaker.” Why? Because he didn’t think private insurers could compete: “At the end of the day, the public plan wins the day.” Um, isn’t the purpose of health care reform to protect American citizens, not insurance companies? Nelson softened his stand after reform advocates began a public campaign targeting him for his position on the public option. And Sen. Kent Conrad, of North Dakota, offers a perfectly circular argument: We can’t have the public option, because if we do, health care reform won’t get the votes of senators like him. “In a 60-vote environment,” he says (implic-

itly rejecting the idea, embraced by President Barack Obama, of bypassing the filibuster if necessary), “you’ve got to attract some Republicans as well as holding virtually all the Democrats together, and that, I don’t believe, is possible with a pure public option.” Honestly, I don’t know what these Democrats are trying to achieve. Yes, some of the balking senators receive large campaign contributions from the medical-industrial complex — but who in politics doesn’t? If I had to guess, I’d say that what’s really going on is that relatively conservative Democrats still cling to the old dream of becoming kingmakers, of recreating the bipartisan center that used to run America. But this fantasy can’t be allowed to stand in the way of giving America the health care reform it needs. This time, the alleged center must not hold.

Search for Brian Stothart paused due to high water

��

STEAMBOAT TODAY

The search for Steamboat Springs resident Brian Stothart likely will be suspended until water levels recede, Carbon County Sheriff Jerry Colson said Monday. Stothart disappeared during a kayaking trip on the Encampment River in Wyoming on June 13. The water is “still running fast and hard,” Colson said. “It may be three weeks before it starts going down.” Emergency responders will continue to monitor the water level in the coming weeks, Colson said. Colson said he has gathered statements from the people who were with Stothart on the river and that he does not expect the investigation to continue.

He said it appears that it was a “tragic accident.”

extent of damage to the train was available from deputies or Yampa Fire on Monday night.

Union Pacific train locomotive burned about 100 square feet of brush near Yampa at about 5:30 p.m. Monday. The fire was first spotted on the moving train by a motorist, according to information relayed over radio by Routt County Communications. Yampa Fire Protection District emergency responders and Routt County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the fire when the train stopped. Firefighters were able to contain the blaze within 20 minutes. Initial reports indicated the fire was caused by a mechanical malfunction on the train but no confirmation of the cause or the

South Routt School Board members unanimously approved the preliminary 2009-10 budget June 18. The $7.3 million budget will be amended in November after the district determines its final student enrollment for the 2009-10 school year. Colorado public school districts are funded on a per-pupil basis, so exact revenues can’t be determined until after the Oct. 1 pupil count. So far, 440 students have enrolled for school next year, but that number could fluctuate by fall. The School Board will formally approve a final budget to be submitted to the state by Jan. 31, 2010.

Going into this year’s series, a 37.5 percent cut in city funding and slower-than-usual sponsorship dollars put the future of the series on shaky financial footing. Organizers expected sponsorship levels to be down about 10 to 15 percent for the summer, King said. But support for the concerts has been steadfast, he said, allowing the group to book what King and Kboudi described as three headliners in a five-part series. “Given the recession and the economy, we were lucky the community has supported us the way they did, in order to book these bands,” King said. With a newly granted 501c(3) charitable organization status, the series can now receive taxdeductible individual gifts. A PayPal account on the new series Web site allows supporters to give donations in any amount they choose. About one-third of the cost for any concert is spent on artist fees, King said. The

He estimates that during the 1970s, he would typically net 20 fish a day (not counting whitefish). One of my favorite chapters in “Your Fly is Down!” is a reminiscence about a solitary day of fishing Cantwell experienced on his 55th birthday. He took a snooze under a cottonwood on the banks of the Elk at mid-afternoon and awoke to find a surly badger sniffing around not 8 feet away. It was a golden autumn afternoon and the beauty of the river combined with the profound wildlife experience seemed to propel him a little closer to heaven.

Monger: 25 mph limit won’t serve needs 700’s obligation Councilman Walter Magill agreed with Monger and made the case that the road should not run through the heart of Steamboat 700’s residential neighborhoods at all. He advocated a realignment of C.R. 42 that would allow the road to bypass Steamboat 700. “It’s a rural connector,” Magill said. “It should go through rural land.” However, Steamboat Springs Planning Services Manager John Eastman said difficult terrain on the most likely routes bypassing the new development would make the road prohibitively expensive. City staff placed the question of the Slate Creek Connector on the meeting agenda to get direction about how to proceed in annexation discussions with Steamboat 700 Project Manager Danny Mulcahy. Mulcahy reminded council and the commissioners that he and his partners had always acknowledged the need to build the portion of Slate Creek internal to their devel-

opment. He added that it’s his position that the road, as well as other facets of his development, would increase the value of surrounding developable land. He strongly suggested those landowners should have to pay a full pro-rate share of the cost of completing the road, should they come forward with plans to develop. Mulcahy said his development team was proposing to pay 18 percent of the cost of the road outside their boundaries in the event that local governments decide they couldn’t wait to complete the road and undertook it themselves. “I think we’ve got a great offer on the table, and that’s what we should move forward with,” Quinn said. Quinn moved to affirm plans to keep the Slate Creek Connector in play during Steamboat 700 annexation discussions. Further, he moved that the developers not be required to pay for more than the road within their boundaries, unless local government advances the timetable. City Council agreed.

of neighboring property propose their own developments. Final alignments of the full length of the road have not been drawn. But for motorists on U.S. 40 it would begin at a point on the north side of the highway roughly opposite Sleepy Bear mobile home park. It would continue north through Steamboat 700 and exit the development at a point near the Walter Scott property west of the airport runway, possibly continuing through one or two other parcels of private property until reaching its other terminus on C.R. 129. Councilwoman Meg Bentley lent her support to a slower, gentler Slate Creek Connector. “It can work at 25 miles per hour,” Bentley said. “I think we’ll all get used to it not being a superhighway.” Although they did not cast votes on the issue, all three county commissioners were active participants in the discussion. Commission Chairman Doug Monger said he lost enthusiasm for the road when he read a traffic study suggesting Slate Creek would likely have a 25 mph speed limit. At that rate of travel, he said, it won’t serve the needs of people seeking to avoid the congestion at the stoplight at U.S. 40 and C.R. 129 where traffic bogs down on its way into the city. “My people from the county aren’t going to drive through there,” Monger said. “It doesn’t serve us at all. Pretty soon we’ve taken all the functionality out

of the road for the county’s interest.”

Stocks tumble on bleak world economy outlook NEW YORK

A surprisingly bleak forecast for the world economy pushed stocks to their biggest loss in two months. Major stock indexes tumbled by more than 2 percent Monday, sending the Dow Jones industrial average down 201 points, after the World Bank estimated the global economy will shrink 2.9 percent in 2009. It previously predicted a 1.7

percent contraction. The grim assessment was the latest unwelcome surprise for the market since last month and further eroded hopes that the economy was starting to emerge from recession. Investors began driving stocks sharply higher in early March, encouraged by modest improvements in housing, manufacturing and even unemployment. The dampened economic outlook from the World Bank, a global lender based in Washington, also weighed on

the prices of oil, metals and other commodities. Those price drops in turn sent energy and metal producers’ shares falling. Hugh Johnson, chief investment officer of Johnson Illington Advisors, said the downbeat economic prediction confirmed fears that have been building in the market for two weeks. “The forecast by the World Bank just dramatized that the market may have overstated what’s coming for the economy,” he said. The stock market is coming

off its first weekly loss in more than a month after mixed economic readings last week. Investors have gone from enjoying a string of better-thanexpected economic data to trying to manage a list of worries about the economy. Stocks have lost ground several times in the last month on fears that rising interest rates and inflation would upend an economic recovery. Many analysts also say the relief that erupted in early March about the economy then led to outsize expectations for

��

how quickly a recovery could occur. Other economic news has hit stocks since May. A disappointing government report last month on retail sales suggested the economy remained fragile, and the Federal Reserve reined in its expectations for how the economy will fare this year. There were no major economic reports Monday, but traders will get data this week about new and existing home sales, durable goods orders, gross domestic product and personal incomes and spending.

Rockies continue streak

GOLF — US OPEN

Glover holds on for win at Open

Colorado easily beats Los Angeles THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANAHEIM, CALIF.

Brad Hawpe celebrated his 30th birthday with a three-run homer, Seth Smith also went deep and the Colorado Rockies beat the Los Angeles Angels, 11-1, on Monday night for their 17th victory in 18 games and club-record ninth straight on the road. The Angels tied a club record with MONDAY’S six wild pitches GAME: — all with Jeff Rockies 11 Napoli behind Angels 1 the plate. One was by Rafael Rodriguez in the seventh inning that allowed Troy Tulowitzki to score, and one was by Jason Bulger in the ninth that enabled Ian Stewart to come home. The Halos also had six wild pitches April 13, 1991, at Minnesota. Aaron Cook (7-3) allowed a run and three hits in seven innings and struck out four, helping send 30-year-old rookie Matt Palmer to his first loss of the season. The Rockies’ right-hander became the franchise’s all-time leader in victories with his 59th, surpassing Jason Jennings, and also broke Pedro Astacio’s team record for road wins with his 30th. Cook had only 12 big league wins to his credit when his career — and his life — were threatened because of blood clots that forced him out of a game he started at Coors Field on Aug. 7, 2004, and traveled from his pitching shoulder to both lungs. The right-hander made it all the way back from surgery four months into the 2005 campaign, and emerged as the Rockies’ opening day starter in 2007 after Jennings was traded to Houston in the offseason. The Angels have lost three straight following a season-best seven-game winning streak. Palmer (6-1) threw 93 pitches in 4 2/3 innings, giving up six runs and seven hits. The righthander was trying to join Jered Weaver as the only pitchers in Angels history to win their first seven decisions with the club.

strokes off the tricky mountain fairways and protected greens at the Rollingstone Ranch Golf Club. Kent was 5 under through the first 15 holes, and despite a couple of scares down the stretch, he was able to finish out the round at 69.

Lucas Glover steadied his hands for a 3-foot par putt on the 18th hole, an anticlimatic finish to five dreary days at a U.S. Open filled with more delays than drama. The unlikely champion turned to soak up a beautiful sight beneath gathering clouds Monday at Bethpage Black. “I just looked at Glover the scoreboard to make sure this was really happening,” Glover said. Some 24,000 fans, speckled with mud from a long walk, could surely relate. Glover never lost the lead in the final 12 holes, even though the attention was always on someone else. He closed with a 3-over 73 for a two-shot victory in a U.S. Open that might be remembered more for the week than the winner. The stage belonged to Phil Mickelson, as it usually does in New York. Lefty charged into a share of the lead with a startling bid to finally win the Open, his final event before a summer of uncertainty as his wife battles breast cancer. A fairy-tale finish turned all too familiar, however, when Mickelson missed two par putts in the last four holes and wound up setting the wrong kind of record by finishing second for the fifth time in the American national championship. “Certainly, I’m disappointed,” Mickelson said. “But now that it’s over, I’ve got more important things going on.

Castle Rock’s Cody Kent was nearly perfect Monday in the opening round of the Colorado Junior Golf Association’s Haywhacker junior championships. But after his round, the young

golfer kept things in perspective. “It was a nice round, but it doesn’t mean anything,” the Douglas County High School senior said. “We still have half a tournament to play, and I know anything can happen.” On Monday, Kent took advantage of accurate drives and a strong short game to trim

“I spun the ball off the green on 16, and ended up taking a double (bogey),” Kent said. “I also ended with a sloppy par on 18.” Clark Shafer, who is also from Castle Rock, and Connor Klein, of Lone Tree, pursued Kent through the first 18 holes of the tournament. Shafer finished at 71, one under par for the course, and Klein finished with an even-par round of 72. “I was able to keep in on the fairways, and this was my best putting performance of the year,” Shafer said. “I think I’m second right now, which is OK. I really like Haymaker (Golf Course), and I’m looking forward to playing there.” The championships flight will head to the Haymaker Golf Course for the final round today. Kent and Shafer have played in this tournament before and know how things can change on the final day. “I’m just going to take it easy tonight,” Kent said. “I might stop by Haymaker and try to get a feel for the greens, but I didn’t think about winning today, and I’m not gong to be thinking about that tomorrow.” Steamboat’s Scott Ptach was the only local golfer in the championship bracket of the tournament. He is tied for 21st place, after shooting a 79 at the Rollingstone course. But Kent isn’t the only golfer looking to hang on for a title in the Haywhacker this year. Five other golfers also took the

Urman, of Greenwood Village, topped the girls 14 to 18 division with a first round score of 77. Payton DeVencenty, of Aurora, shot 74 to take the lead in the boys 11 to 13 division, and Nicholas Reisch, of Thornton, finished with a 73 to earn the top spot in the boys 14 to 15 division. Austin Lucero, of Superior, finished at 79 and is tied with Highlands Ranch’s Kyle Tobin for the lead in the 16 to 18 division. Steamboat’s Alan Capistron shot an 86 and is tied for 13th in that age division. This is the first time the Haywhacker golf tournament has been split between two courses. The tournament was started as a local event in the 1990s but was taken over by the Colorado Junior Golf Association a few years ago. The event has grown into one of Steamboat’s biggest junior events and draws golfers from across the state who want to play. “This is one of our most popular events of the summer,” CJGA spokesman Dustin Jensen said. “We are excited about the move to split it between the two Steamboat Springs courses. You couldn’t ask for two courses with different challenges.”

New look for Centre Court �� Federer pleased with retractable roof on Wimbledon’s main stage �� WIMBLEDON, ENGLAND

Roger Federer thought Centre Court looked smashing, what with its new retractable roof at the ready, all white fabric and steel trusses. The fans at Wimbledon thought Federer looked smashing, too, what with his new collar-up, military-style jacket and formfitting tuxedo vest, all white with gold trim. As for Federer’s play Monday at the All England Club? Well, for a few minutes, that did not look quite so good. But only for a few minutes. After trailing by a break in the first set

TENNIS — WIMBLEDON

of his first match since winning the French Open to complete a career Grand Slam, Federer righted himself and beat Yenhsun Lu of Taiwan, 7-5, 6-3, 6-2, to take the first step toward a record-breaking 15th major championship overall. “Solid performance,” Federer said. “It’s funny: I actually didn’t even think about it — I didn’t have a grass-court match yet this year. It’s something I completely forgot about.” Day 1 at Wimbledon featured only one upset of any significance: 17th-seeded James Blake of the United States lost in straight sets to 50th-ranked

Andreas Seppi of Italy. And even that wasn’t all that shocking, considering that Blake now has lost three Grand Slam matches in a row. Otherwise, No. 21 Feliciano Lopez was beaten by Karol Beck, 10-8, in the fifth set, while two seeded women lost, No. 21 Patty Schnyder and No. 23 Aleksandra Wozniak. Past Wimbledon champions Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova reached the second round, as did No. 4 Novak Djokovic, No. 7 Fernando Verdasco, No. 9 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and No. 13 Robin Soderling, the runner-up to Federer at Roland Garros this month.

Kahne win masks serious issues at RPM Jenna Fryer

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SONOMA, CALIF.

It took eight winless seasons for Richard Petty to realize he was no longer NASCAR’s best driver. He spent the last decade once again ignoring the obvious, refusing to accept that his race team wasn’t any good. No matter how bad things got at Petty Enterprises, The King always believed he had another trip to Victory Lane in his near future. “I’m a hard-head. That’s the reason I keep coming back,” he said. “I drove and I won in ’84, and then didn’t win anymore. It finally dawned on me ‘You’re not good enough doing your job to win anymore race, so you’d better get out.’ “ He did, after the 1992 season, transitioning into management at Petty Enterprises. There were three wins in the

RACING COMMENTARY first nine seasons, but none since John Andretti drove the famed No. 43 to an April, 1999 victory at Martinsville Speedway. In the long, lean decade that followed that last win, Petty refused to believe it was his last victory celebration. “I’m a very optimistic person,” he said. “Just because we didn’t do it yesterday doesn’t mean we can’t do it today.” Petty did on Sunday, when Kasey Kahne took him to Victory Lane for the first time in 364 races by winning on the road course at Infineon Raceway. It was a breakthrough victory for Richard Petty Motorsports, the team born in January from the merger between Gillett-Evernham Motorsports and Petty Enterprises. The four-car orga-

nization is a whole lot more Gillett than Petty, but The King is still the star of the show. Clad in his cowboy hat and dark sunglasses, the fans surrounding Victory Lane cheered him as if Elvis himself had just crashed the party. Petty sipped some celebratory red wine and soaked up the moment he always believed was right around the corner. “If we hadn’t have won the race (Sunday), we would have went to New Hampshire, and in my mind, we would have won New Hampshire,” he said. Only the reality is, unless Kahne gets on some sort of hot streak, it may be some time before Petty gets another win. Kahne’s win proved that the No. 9 team is still a legitimate contender, he’s still a great race car driver and RPM’s employees are still working doubletime to produce a competitive product.

Duval’s hopes for win ended on 17th hole “And,” he added, pausing, “oh, well.” Next came David Duval, out of nowhere. Winless in eight years, he ran off three straight birdies on the back nine to tie for the lead as the No. 882 player in the world tried to show why he was No. 1 a decade ago. His hopes ended with a fivefoot par putt on the 17th that spun 180 degrees out of the cup, and his silver medal was no consolation. “I stand before you certainly happy with how I played, but extremely disappointed in the outcome,” Duval said. “I had no question in my mind I was

going to win the golf tournament today.” Ricky Barnes was the long shot who didn’t last very long with the 54-hole lead. He shot 40 on the front nine to turn control over to Glover and wound up shooting a 76 to join Mickelson and Duval in a tie for second. Glover didn’t have a compelling storyline, just the kind of golf that wins a U.S. Open in any conditions. He made only one birdie in the rain-delayed final round, and it could not have been timed any better. Tied for the lead with three holes to play, he split the middle of the fairway and had 173 yards left to the hole at No. 16.

It was a smooth 8-iron, like thousands he has hit on the driving range. It landed six feet from the cup. “The putt was all you could ever ask for under pressure,” Glover said. His caddie, Don Cooper, helped him with the read and told him, “There’s no way we’re missing this.” “It would have went in a thimble,” Cooper said. Glover arrived at the 17th tee in time to see that Duval had made bogey and that Mickelson earlier had dropped a shot there, too. Suddenly, he was two shots ahead, and he made sure the U.S. Open didn’t have a surprise ending.

State faces budget shortfall of $384M Steven K. Paulson and Colleen Slevin THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

Colorado lawmakers learned Monday they face another round of budget cuts because tax revenues are expected to be down another $384 million for the budget year that starts next week. The total shortfall could grow as high as $838 million next year — depending on how soon and how deep lawmakers make cuts — because of job losses and reduced consumer spending. Just as they did earlier this year, lawmakers and Gov. Bill Ritter could decide to raise certain fees or come up with onetime money in addition to cutting state services for the fiscal year that starts July 1. Any permanent cuts would reduce that $838 million cumulative shortfall the following year. Ritter, a Democrat, said state agencies would hold the line on spending, hiring and travel, but that more “tough choices” would have to be made in the budget lawmakers passed for the new fiscal year. He declined to give specifics, saying he wanted to talk to state lawmakers who oversee the budget first. “We’ve done it before, and we’ll do it again,” Ritter said about balancing the budget. The chairwoman of the Joint Budget Committee, Sen. Moe Keller, said college tuition hikes, higher fees at state parks and cutting funding for kindergar-

ten through 12th grade schools could be some of the options on the table. In previous downturns, lawmakers have cut funding to state colleges and universities, but that’s not likely now because of strings attached to higher education aid in the federal stimulus package. She said the committee can ask Ritter to take steps to cut spending now but some changes could require the approval of lawmakers. She didn’t think they would have to be called back before the regular session begins in January, but House Majority Leader Paul Weissmann, DBoulder, said he thought a special session was possible if lawmakers aren’t happy with Ritter’s proposals. He would like to roll back tax breaks to balance the budget, including one aimed at luring corporate headquarters to the state that was touted by Ritter and fellow Democrats as a way to help the state out of the recession. “You can’t give away money that’s not even in your hands yet,” Weissmann said. Legislative economists forecast that from the onset of the recession until the end of this fiscal year next week, state revenues will have fallen by a total of about $1 billion, a drop of nearly 14 percent. They say the state is on track to spend about $249 million more than it took in during the current budget year because of a drop in tax returns and sales tax revenue because of the recession.

You know the economy’s bad when teens can’t get summer jobs at fast-food restaurants or movie theaters. So thousands are picking up shovels, brooms and trash in part-time jobs paid for with federal stimulus money, which includes $1.2 billion for youth employment. “I was looking for jobs everywhere, and no one was calling back,” said 17-year-old Ryan Stewart, of Littleton, who applied at McDonald’s, Wendy’s and other restaurants but heard nothing back. Now he’s spending the summer pulling weeds for $7.50 an hour at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge just outside Denver. Stewart is one of 25 extra sea-

sonal youths hired with stimulus funds by the Mile High Youth Corps, an AmeriCorps affiliate. This day’s task: uprooting invasive hound’s tongue plants from a meadow. To qualify, workers have to be 14 to 24 years old. They’re the part-timers who are often the first chucked from jobs when recession hits. Last month, the national unemployment rate was 9.4 percent. For teenagers, the rate was more than twice that, 22.7 percent. “It’s very, very difficult out there right now for younger workers,” said Jeanne Mullgrav, commissioner of New York City’s Department of Youth and Community Development. City officials estimate that $18.5 million in stimulus money will support more than 13,300 summer jobs in museums, parks and camps.
