Under a couple of garagesale car coverings in an Elk River Estates driveway, a 40foot-long reptile is waiting to be unleashed. On Saturday, Charlie and Gail Holthausen’s iguana car will slither down Lincoln Avenue as part of Steamboat Springs’ Fourth of July Parade. At its core, the iguana car is

Holthausen said, standing on a mid-June morning in the couple’s driveway, which in the past two months has become iguana central. There are Internet photos of iguana heads, with key features circled and a model iguana car made out of a plastic Volkswagen Beetle. Extra paints and supplies litter tables in the garage, and the iguana’s tarp-covered house takes up much of the long driveway. For about six weeks, Charlie Holthausen devoted a couple of

hours a day to the car. He got the idea after attending a class on how to build dragons out of clay at The Potter’s Wheel — which Gail Holthausen owned until recently — a few years ago. A car mechanic by trade and former owner of Black Diamond Automotive, Charlie Holthausen often has projects — his most recent was converting a Steamboat Springs School District bus into a livable travel See Iguana car, page 17

What would founders think?

his Fourth of July, as Americans continue to surrender their freedom to the federal government with barely a whimper, I find myself wondering what the founding fathers would think of our stewardship of the nation they bestowed upon us by means of the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution. I believe they’d be appalled at how few Americans are conversant in the meaning of those pieces of parchment inscribed with the greatest framework ever crafted for a self-governing society. I believe they’d be appalled at how our government has twisted the Constitution beyond recognition to fit any outcome that increases the power of the government to control the governed without amending the Constitution as mandated. I believe they’d be appalled at how the govern-

ment has usurped our freedom — and our responsibility to be self-sufficient — to a point where the government has grown to a size the Declaration and Constitution were designed to escape and prevent. Whether you agree or disagree with my belief that the government has trampled the founding principles as set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, I invite you to read a thought-provoking book and reflect upon whether we truly are still a free country as we celebrate the 233rd anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The book is “Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto,” by Mark Levin.

The book sits atop The New York Times best-seller list, as it has for 13 of the 14 weeks since it was published. That Levin is the author may cause some to overlook the book. Levin is a talk show host whose conservative view is delivered with caustic shtick. His trademark, “Get off my phone, you dummy!” leveled at callers he disagrees with, seems harsh until you get to understand Levin’s act. Couple that unorthodox style with the fact Levin is the “F. Lee Levin” that Rush Limbaugh often references, and many will not open their minds to the message because of the messenger. That’s regrettable because behind his gruff radio persona, Levin is one of the nation’s brightest constitutional lawyers. He served in the Reagan administration as chief of staff to Attorney General Ed Meese. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Levin several times See Douglas, page 15

Wet holiday weekend likely River inches toward prime tubing levels Brandon Gee

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Steamboat Springs is flirting with a rainy holiday weekend, but a meteorologist said it’s hard to say how much precipitation monsoon winds might bring to the Yampa Valley. “Unfortunately, it looks like it’s going to be pretty wet — pretty wet indeed,” said meteorologist Tom Renwick, of the National Weather Service in Grand Junction. “We’ve got this monsoon moisture that’s really pumping up. … There will be times of heavy downpours and showers and then sun and then a heavy downpour — you know how it cycles like that.” The weather service is predicting 0.5 inches of rain in Steamboat by the end of the weekend, but Renwick noted there could be much more precipitation in some locations. He said it’s possible that 0.5 to 1 inches of rain will fall in spans of just 15 to 20 minutes See Weather, page 16

Unofficial park causes battle Riverside resident ticketed for mowing shrubs on city land Brandon Gee

A battle has sprung up between Steamboat Springs residents who voluntarily have maintained a piece of cityowned property in their neighborhood and government officials who think the parcel should be allowed to evolve more naturally. On June 9, David Epstein was ticketed by the Steamboat Springs Police Department for mowing down willow shrubs with a heavy duty bush mower in the Riverside neighborhood in western Steamboat. The shrubs were on a 4-acre piece of city-owned property along the Yampa River. For years, a portion of the property has been voluntarily mowed by residents and used as an impromptu community park, Riverside resident and Steamboat attorney Cheryl Hardy-Moore said. In addition to Epstein’s culling of shrubs, Hardy-Moore said the city now also is questioning whether it is legal for residents to mow grass on the parcel. Director of Parks, Open Space

JOHN F. RUSSELL/STAFF

City officials are sparring with Riverside residents who historically have maintained a small city-owned piece of open space inside the subdivision. Residents have been mowing the area since the 1980s and have used the space as a small community park.

and Recreational Services Chris Wilson said Epstein was ticketed under a provision of the city’s municipal code that states, “No person except the city manager shall spray, mulch, fertilize, or otherwise treat, remove, destroy, break, cut or trim any living plant or any part thereof growing on city property without first having obtained a written permit from the manager.” “All such plants belong to the

city,” Wilson said. Steamboat Springs Police Capt. Joel Rae said Epstein was ticketed after the city received a complaint about his removing of the shrubs. Rae said Epstein was witnessed throwing willows into the river. The city also is concerned about a bench on the property near the river, which they think was installed by Epstein.

COMMENTARY

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

Eternally grateful Cathy Patrick

SPECIAL TO THE PILOT & TODAY

I love patriotism; I always have. I was born an Army brat. It is in my blood. My great-grandfather rode motorcycles in WWI. My grandfather served in WWII. My father served in Vietnam, my uncle was a paratrooper in Vietnam, and, most recently, my nephew is serving in the United States Marine Corps and just returned from his first tour of duty in Iraq. When we came home from Germany, I was 5 years old, and I remember the Fourth of July. My mother explained to my sister and me what Independence Day was. How it was more than just the grand parades or the bright displays of fireworks. I remember her telling us how history had brought us to these “fun” celebrations. At the time, I thought it was boring, but as I grew older, I understood more the sacrifices that have been made for this wonderful country.

I would like to share what Independence Day means to me. Two years ago, I had the privilege of attending the graduation of my nephew from Kilo Company, USMC, in San Diego. There were more than 600 men of every color, religion and income. They were equals. None was better than any other. They were the picture of perfection in every step they took, every turn of their head, every thundering word said in perfect unison. They had pledged their lives for the safety and freedom of our country. It was awe-inspiring. I was again a member of a tight-knit family. Last year, I went to Fort Logan Cemetery to visit my father’s grave. It was a Saturday afternoon. Again, my sister and I were together. The cemetery is large, and, as always, I needed help finding my way. After getting our bearings, we noticed that a funeral was about to take place. The lady who assisted me told us that this was a full-blown fallen

soldier service, and that if we liked, we could attend. We told her thank you, but we would not want to intrude. She told us that all were welcome. There was a horsedrawn caisson, used only for soldiers killed in action. The number of vehicles following the procession was unbelievable. As we were walking along, a man in an Army uniform asked if we would like a ride, and again we declined, not wanting to intrude. A while later we caught up again, and when he said “There is still time for the ride,” we accepted. As it turned out, this particular soldier came all the way from Texas to be with this young fallen soldier. He would speak at his service, on behalf of our country. We were nearly in tears. The soldier had been killed in Afghanistan. To attend this funeral was an honor that I will never forget as long as I live. There was a line of flag bearers longer than I have ever seen, the flag in the See Patrick, page 9

Rules of the wronged Washington Maureen Dowd

THE NEW YORK TIMES

Stay focused, ladies. Here is the Practical Guide to Help Spurned Political Wives Survive Old Problems in the Era of New Technology. 1. Skip the news conference, especially when your husband is copping to call girls, gay pickups in airport bathrooms or “tragic” and “forbidden” telenovela-style love stories. Stoicism at the skunk’s side is overrated and, as Larry Craig’s wife learned, sunglasses don’t help. Dowd 2. When there’s an Associated Press bulletin quoting your husband saying that he has found his soul mate but he’s going to try to fall back in love with you, change the locks (at your second home, too). 3. If you can’t maintain a dignified

MALLARD FILLMORE

Silda Spitzer silence; if you can’t find a girlfriend, a shrink, a personal trainer, a hairdresser or a yoga instructor to confide in; if you must unburden yourself of your fury about your loser husband, go to Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton or even Deepak Chopra before crying to the AP. A news wire is not a spiritual adviser. 4. When your husband turns into a Harlequin romance, babbling to the AP — yes, even the AP thought it was TMI — about a magical encounter on an openair dance floor in Uruguay, “a soul that touches yours in a way that no one’s ever has,” and the “left brain and right brain” compartmentalization of “the world of ideas that impact this country and state” and “the pursuit of happiness, whatever that is,” just beat it. 5. If you think the worst is over, it’s probably only beginning. On Tuesday, after you thought Mark Sanford had already emoted and burbled more than any man in history, he volunteered to the

AP (again!) that he had “crossed lines” with a few women on trips out of the country but only “crossed the ultimate line” with his enchanting Maria. And just when you thought John Edwards could not sink any lower, there is news of a sex tape, in which Rielle Hunter shows off her skills not only in videography but pornography. 6. No matter how revolting your husband’s behavior is, don’t be passiveaggressive in public. Refrain from making any remarks that have a veneer of dignity but derogatory subtexts such as: “We’re trying to reconcile but it’s going to be tough because he has irreparably damaged my children” or “He has no integrity and I want my kids to have integrity” and “Sure, I’d like to give him a chance if he weren’t such a sleazeball.” 7. Don’t bring the children into it. They suffer enough being the kids See Dowd, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

Patrick continued from 8 cemetery was at half-staff, the 21-gun salute chilled me to the bone, and the bagpipe rendition of “Taps” stays with me today. That experience stirred my patriotic blood more than any fireworks display, or any red, white and blue parade, ever has. This is how America received its freedom. From young men and women who gave their lives so that we may all have the freedoms we enjoy each and every day of ours. Just more than two weeks ago, I experienced another tremendous gift. After driving 1,800 miles to Camp Lejeune, N.C., to deliver my nephew (the Marine) his truck, my sister and I were again together in an airport in Dallas to catch our connecting flight home. As we were walking toward our gate, we were engulfed in a sea of military uniforms. We asked one soldier whether he was coming or going, and he told us they were leaving for Iraq. They were being deployed that very hour. As a young girl, I remember putting my dad on a bus to leave for

Vietnam, but it was nothing like this. There were men and women from the Army and the Navy. The only thing that made them different was their ranks. There were young men kissing babies, pictures being taken, and children crying because they wanted their daddy. It was as heart-wrenching as the funeral I attended. I watched for an hour as these brave men and women boarded this plane. I sobbed the entire time, thinking I will never take for granted my independence. If not for these few who give everything without thinking twice, I could not come and go on a plane as I please. I could not attend the church of my choice, I could not send my children to schools of my choice. I could not run my own business or earn my own money. I could not do 100 little things that I have the freedom to do every day. And I could not share this letter with you. So if you drive by my house and you see the American flag flying every day of the year, and you see the Marine flag flying every day of the year, you will

know a true patriot lives there. If you see me on Fridays, and I am wearing red to support my troops, feel free to ask me why I do it, and I will be happy to tell you. If you think I sometimes go too far to obtain goodies to send to Marines at Christmastime, I don’t care. These are the smallest of gestures that I can do to show my appreciation of my everyday independence. This Fourth of July, please remember the sometimes boring parts of history. Look into your family tree, and see who your family hero is. Talk with your neighbors, and ask them about their sons and daughters. They will proudly tell you anything you would like to know. Listen to the stories of a veteran who has given his or her all for us. It really isn’t so boring, and it isn’t all showy and sparkly. It is real, and it is important. My heroes are the men and women of all of our United States Armed Forces, and I thank them so much for my freedom. I am eternally grateful.

of politicians. In the era of Facebook, texting, Google and iPhones, calling him out as a bad father will just go viral in the kids’ circles. Don’t trot out the family on “Oprah,” as Elizabeth Edwards did, or weepily show the AP the report cards of your two oldest sons from their elite private school in Columbia, S.C., as Jenny Sanford did. 8. Even if you’re a clever, competent woman, you risk sounding like a stereotypical harridan if you use the kids as a bludgeon and tell the press, as Jenny did: “You would think that a father who didn’t have contact with his children, if he wanted those children, he would toe the line a little bit.” When

kids are involved, it’s best to chill when dishing out revenge. 9. Don’t slam his girlfriend for lying when you know she’s telling the truth. Don’t refer to the baby your rival had with your husband as “it.” Don’t trash a mistress, as Hillary and Elizabeth did, as a wacky stalker. No one — except the wife — blames the other woman as much as they blame the husband. Besides, you invite The Other Woman’s retaliation, as when Rielle decided after watching Elizabeth spill to Oprah that she might want that DNA test after all. 10. High-powered women such as Hillary, Elizabeth and Jenny who give up their careers to focus on their husbands feel doubly betrayed. But it’s not your husband’s fault if you sacrifice more for the relationship

than he does. Like an investor in a down market, you took a risk without a guarantee it would pay off. If you make your husband your career and you lose your husband, you lose your career too. 11. Cut your losses and keep going. Don’t let yourself get dragged into his drama or your reputation may follow his down the well. Hillary refused to let that happen. She salvaged her long investment in Bill Clinton and turned a profit when she became a senator. 12. As you stay out of the spotlight that singes your husband, listen to whatever messages he is sending you through the press. When your husband says “that” is a world-class love story, ask him what “this” is. Just don’t do it through the AP.

Whistle fundraiser starts

��

Mainstreet works to collect goal of $9,000 to $15,000 Blythe Terrell

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Folks who give a toot about bringing back the noon whistle are welcome to make their money sing. Mainstreet Steamboat Springs plans to offer whistles for a $5 suggested donation at stores and at holiday events this weekend. The group hopes to reinstate Steamboat’s iconic noon whistle, which was removed from downtown in October. The new sound would be a little softer, however. “What we found was it’s called a triple whistle,” architect Cyd Pougiales said. “It’s an actual replica of a steamboat off the Mississippi, and it’s a marine-grade whistle to last generations.” Pougiales is a member of Mainstreet’s design committee, which has spearheaded the push for the whistle. The group has put three whistle options online so the community can vote. The new whistle is expected to be placed at Howelsen Hill and probably will cost $9,000 to $15,000, all parts included, Pougiales said.

On the ’Net To hear and weigh in on proposed whistle sounds, click on “Noon Whistle Vote” at www.mainstreetsteamboatsprings.com.

Mainstreet has raised about $1,000. The old whistle stood in the 800 block of Oak Street. It was an emergency siren that had the historical purpose of summoning volunteer firefighters to blazes. It sounded a “test” alarm every day at noon until it was removed by the city of Steamboat Springs in October because of concerns that the wooden pole holding it up was unstable. Mainstreet Manager Tracy Barnett said interest in the whistle’s return has been high. “I still have people at least on a weekly basis — not an everyday basis at this point — asking me how we’re doing on the whistle. ‘I miss the whistle,’” she said. “It will just add that hometown country feel.” The new whistle wouldn’t be as shrill as the previous noon siren, Pougiales said. Her former office was near the whistle, See Whistle, page 17

Steamboat Springs Police Department officers on Wednesday arrested a 20-year-old Steamboat Springs man in connection with a June 19 thwarted burglary at Double Z Bar & BBQ. Officers arrested Cory Anthony Anderson on suspicion of second-degree burglary — a Class 4 felony — and Class 2 misdemeanor theft. The arrest warrant, prepared by Sgt. Gerard Geis, states that a cleaner caught a person in the act of burglarizing the Double Z at 4:40 a.m. that morning. The worker called police, and the suspect fled. Two cases of beer were on the ground outside the business, but nothing else apparently was stolen. Officers later contacted Anderson while on an unrelated call and saw that he matched the description given by the witness. The witness later picked Anderson out of a lineup, and police arrested Anderson, according to the warrant. Fred Matzdorf, one of Double Z’s owners, said the burglar entered the restaurant through a window and did not cause any damage. Anderson was released Wednesday on a $20,000 personal

recognizance bond, which means he did not have to put down money to be released. He is next scheduled to appear in court at 2 p.m. July 15.

Eduardo Capote Jr. case now delayed until Aug. 7 The arraignment of Eduardo Capote Jr., the Miami man who is charged with assault in connection with the January fight that led to the death of Sgt. 1st Class Richard Lopez, was delayed Thursday until Aug. 7. Capote is charged with felony second-degree assault and two counts of misdemeanor thirddegree assault. Capote’s brother, David Capote, also is charged with assault in connection with the fight, although he is not implicated in Lopez’s death. David Capote’s case was continued last week as lawyers review documents. Lopez died Jan. 5 at a Denver hospital from severe head and brain trauma. The Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office said an autopsy indicated Lopez suffered two hits to his face and then fell back and hit his head against the pavement. An arrest warrant accuses Eduardo Capote of punching Lopez in the face, causing

him to fall back and suffer the fatal head injury. According to Eduardo Capote’s arrest warrant, witnesses told police the Capotes instigated the fight and that neither Lopez nor his friends fought back. The altercation stemmed from the two groups’ earlier disagreement about song selection on a restaurant jukebox, according to police. After leaving the restaurant, the groups crossed paths at the intersection of Lincoln Avenue and Seventh Street, where witnesses said the men yelled back and forth at one another. Independent witnesses told police that Eduardo Capote then rushed at Lopez and hit him in the face, knocking him to the ground, according to the arrest warrant. Feldmann previously has said his clients were acting in self-defense and should not have been charged with any crime. David Capote faces as many as two years in prison if convicted on all charges. David Capote is next scheduled to appear in Routt County Court at 2 p.m. July 14. Eduardo Capote is scheduled to appear in District Court at 8:45 a.m. Aug. 7 for arraignment. See Police, page 15

No injuries in plane crash Small aircraft landed in gully near Steamboat Springs Airport Zach Fridell

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

A small, fixed-wing airplane crashed after an aborted landing Thursday morning at Steamboat Springs Airport, but neither the pilot nor the two passengers were injured. Anne Small, risk manager for the city of Steamboat Springs, confirmed the pilot was with two children on the plane. The pilot and children were checked by paramedics on scene but were not transported to Yampa Valley Medical Center, Small said. Steamboat Springs Police Department Capts. Bob DelValle and Joel Rae identified the pilot as Wayne Lemley, who has a Steamboat Springs address. Contacted

by phone Thursday, Lemley declined to talk about the crash. Responders initially were dispatched to the airport shortly after 11 a.m. Thursday. Airport Manager Mel Baker said the aircraft was coming in for a landing, but the pilot attempted to do a “go around” — whereby the landing is aborted so the pilot can circle around and try again. Baker said he wasn’t sure why the pilot attempted to abort the landing. The airplane then crashed into a small gully on the western side of the airport. Small said the airport was temporarily closed after the crash but reopened by 12:15 p.m. Thursday because the airplane was not blocking any runways. The plane, a Mooney M20M single-engine plane, has registra-

tion pending to an unnamed individual with a Steamboat Springs address, according to the Federal Aviation Administration’s Web site. Small confirmed that the airplane is based in Steamboat. The nose and tail of the small plane were damaged in the crash, but its cabin appeared to remain intact. Small said the plane likely was totaled in the crash. Small said Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue responders plugged several holes where the aircraft was leaking fuel. She said hazardous materials teams determined they did not need to respond, and there was no fire visible in the wreckage. The National Transportation Safety Board will conduct the crash investigation. Small said NTSB investigatos will arrive in Steamboat today.

partment announced it had sufficient reason to suspect a fire that swept through the high school auditorium was the result of arson. The department’s findings were based on its own investigation with assistance from Craig Fire/Rescue and the Moffat County Sheriff’s Office and on reports filed by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and PT&C Forensic Consulting Services. PT&C Forensic was hired by Moffat County School District’s insurance company, Colorado School Districts Self Insurance Pool, which has agreed to pay for all renovations and repairs. Mark Rydberg, school district finance director, said the damages are estimated at $500,000. Crews hired by PT&C have begun working on the facility and are scheduled to finish by Aug. 27. The fire scorched nearly all of the auditorium’s inside ceiling and left burn marks on about one-third of the outside roof. No other part of the high school was damaged, but the

auditorium was immediately closed. John Forgay, a sergeant with the Police Department, said there are several people of interest in the case. A class of students, as well as a cleaning crew and other people, were at the high school the night of the fire, so officers have a “long list” of people to look at. The Police Department is the only agency working on the case now, Forgay added. Local law enforcement also still is actively investigating a suspected Nov. 25, 2007, arson fire that destroyed the former Country Mall, 356 Ranney St. Police Department Detective Ken Johnson said he and an investigator hired by the property’s insurance company, Nebraska-based Continental Divide Insurance, are pursuing any new leads that come up. There are no suspects in the case, but the Police Department has people of interest that include anyone who had a financial stake in the Country Mall, such as property owners and businesses that leased space.

Use Levin’s book to challenge your view Douglas continued from 2 when our paths crossed in talk radio and found him to be a kind man, of deep intellect and quick wit. With “Liberty and Tyranny,” Levin challenges us all — conservatives, independents and liberals alike — to re-examine where we fit in the political spectrum while forcefully arguing that the new dominant political class in the United States is made up of “statists.” Statism is the concentration of economic and political control in a central government at the cost of individual liberty. Significantly, our founders crafted the Constitution with the goal of preventing statism. As Levin puts it, “The Founders understood that the

greatest threat to liberty is an all-powerful central government, where the few dictate to the many.” To underscore the point, Levin cites James Madison in “Federalist 51,” where Madison wrote, “In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.” Therein lies the rub. Since the 1930s, we have enabled the government to control us, but we have not obligated the government to restrain itself. We have a government that regulates every aspect of life in exchange for underfunded, unsustainable entitlements paid for by wealth redistribution and crippling debt. As a

result, the government now is nationalizing entire industries — financial, automotive, and health care — in a futile attempt to restructure the free market system that made us the economic leader of the world. In short, America no longer can look itself in the mirror and honestly say it is the country the founders envisioned. As you celebrate the Fourth, I hope you’ll take time to reflect on the meaning of our founding principles and ask yourself whether we, as a nation, remain faithful to those principles. In so doing, I invite you to use Levin’s book as a means to challenge your view of the American political system today.

Saturation patrols but no checkpoints this weekend The Steamboat Springs Police Department and Colorado State Patrol will be using “saturation patrols” to monitor for drunken drivers during the July 4 weekend, but neither agency plans to set up checkpoints to check drivers for driving under the influence.

Steamboat Springs Police Department Capt. Joel Rae said police officers also will be on extra patrol throughout the weekend.

in a particular location, while another location 10 miles away stays sunny and dry. “It’s going to be hit or miss,” Renwick said. Heavy rains are expected to enter Steamboat by 2 or 3 p.m. today. Renwick said they will die down by Saturday morning but return by Saturday afternoon. Daily high temperatures should be in the upper 70s and lower 80s throughout the weekend, Renwick said. Commercial tubing began in Steamboat on Wednesday, and the Yampa River at the Fifth Street Bridge was flowing at 626 cubic feet per second at about 5 p.m. Thursday. The depth of the river at the same location was about 2.8 feet. Although rains may cause spikes in flows and depths, Renwick said both will trend downward overall by the end of the weekend. By Monday, stream flow is expected to drop to 433 cfs, and depth is expected to drop to 2.2 feet. Backdoor Sports owner Peter Van De Carr said the river “looks awesome,” but is flowing too strong to allow young

children to tube the lower and faster town stretch of the Yampa River. He allowed only people 18 and older to rent tubes Wednesday and people 16 and older Thursday. Van De Carr said his age restrictions will continue to fall daily with the river. “Folks who are not real riversavvy are struggling a little bit,” he said. “We can’t really run with the little kids.” As tubing grows ever more popular in Steamboat, so has the practice among individual tubers of using the city’s free buses as a shuttle to launch points. Steamboat Springs Transit Operations Manager Jonathan Flint said tubers are allowed to use the buses as long as they and their tubes are clean and dry and they do not inhibit others’ ability to enter and exit buses and move down aisles. Flint also said that although passengers are allowed to bring tubes on the bus, other river conveyances such as kayaks, large rafts and inflatable mattresses are not allowed.

lift to the faux reptile’s nose, and spray foam insulation adds bumps to the tail. The arms are ventilation tubing, bolted to the van doors by up-turned plastic buckets. Metal piping holds up the tail, and papier-mâché makes the whole thing look like a lizard. The couple found almost everything they needed for the project secondhand, salvaging a garage sale trampoline to connect the lizard’s front and back sections, buying drastically pricereduced copper-colored paint for decoration and scoring a roll of

scale-patterned wall vinyl to add texture to the face. “I have less than $1,000 in the entire project,” Charlie Holthausen said. About 10 people came by the house consistently to help with papier-mâché and painting, he said. The iguana car will ride with the Steamboat Car Club during Saturday’s parade, which begins at 10 a.m. on Lincoln Avenue. The car will be on display at Howelsen Hill after the festivities. — To reach Margaret Hair, call 871-4204 or e-mail mhair@steamboatpilot.com.

Commission could schedule meeting “The city has design standards and management practices,” Wilson said. “If someone wants a memorial bench, there’s a process they have to go through. … If anybody was hurt on that bench, whose liability is that?” There also is a hockey net on the property at the end of the mowed field. At its meeting Wednesday, the Steamboat Springs Parks and Recreation Commission will decide whether to schedule a discussion about the controversy at a later meeting. City Manager Jon Roberts said Epstein’s ticket is being held in abeyance — and a Riverside resident has been given a permit to continue mowing the field — in the interim. Five Riverside residents deeded the piece of land in question to the city in 1989 under specific conditions. “There is this dedication that the lot is maintained in a natural, scenic condition,” Roberts

said. “Exactly what that means is open to interpretation.” Wilson said the city has been managing the parcel in an openspace context and has installed boulders and logs to keep vehicles off the property. But Hardy-Moore said she thinks that in ticketing Epstein and questioning the legality of mowing a field on the property, the city is overreaching. She said the willows sprung up in recent years — blocking residents’ views of the Yampa River — and removing them was consistent with “maintaining” the property. “It’s restoring what it used to be like,” said Hardy-Moore, who has lived in Riverside since 1991. “Our theory legally — and emotionally, but definitely legally — is that mowing the lawn is not constructing an improvement … and it is being maintained in an open, scenic and natural condition, more like it was before. … The intent was, we didn’t want a jungle gym.”

Hardy-Moore said two of the five residents who deeded the land to the city still live in the neighborhood and are thrilled with the way the property has evolved. She also thinks the recently installed boulders were intended to block the riding lawnmower a resident uses to mow the field. “I can appreciate that they’re trying to protect city property,” she said, “but I think they’re going totally overboard in how they’re trying to interpret the deed.” Wilson, however, said all city residents deserve to have a say in how the property is managed. “Because it’s city-owned property managed by the city, it makes sense to open … up (the discussion),” Wilson said. “As a public property, it needs to go through the public process.” Wilson said he is hopeful the city and Riverside residents can work together to reach a common ground regarding the parcel.

On Thursday afternoon, Telluride Mountainfilm tour presenter Drew Ludwig was on a bike, en route from Carbondale to Steamboat Springs as part of a tour that will take him to Wyoming and Utah later in the summer. Since June, Ludwig has been carrying environmental, cultural and adventure films screened in May at Telluride Mountainfilm festival to Vail, Boulder, Salida, Crested Butte and other towns. By the time the tour ends in Grand Junction on July 29, Ludwig will have biked 2,000 unsupported miles. At 7 p.m. today, the Zero

Emissions Tour makes a stop at Ghost Ranch Saloon. Ludwig will screen five to 10 films, with one feature accompanied by several shorts, said Justin Clifton, director of Mountainfilm on Tour. Admission is free, and Ghost Ranch will host a ticketed show by blues-rock musician Chris Watson after the films wrap up. The goal of Zero Emissions is to make a broad point about environmental impact and encourage people to bike or walk anytime they can, Clifton said. “We’re dong that with a much larger expression by getting on our bikes to go out and do the tour, which typically is planes, trains and automobiles,” he said.

the small changes people can make in their day-to-day lives to make a smaller impact,” he said.

opening reception for their show is from 5 to 8 p.m. today; the event is part of First Friday Artwalk. Jinah China is a collaborative effort — Bell handles most of the mold-making and sanding, and Skurky-Thomas contributes compilations of images from his sketchbooks. For their display at K. Saari, the pair made 99 cups, 19 coffee mug sets and 10 platters, SkurkyThomas said. “Our processes really, really complement each other,” he said. “Her meticulousness counterbalances my ADD, basically, and vice versa because she’ll spend four hours

sanding a piece, if I don’t stop her.” Skurky-Thomas and Bell met as students at The Art Institute of Chicago. Bell is from Atlanta, and SkurkyThomas grew up in Steamboat. His mother, local mixed-media artist Diane Cionni, also shows work at K. Saari Gallery. The artists were featured at the venue in 2007. Since then, gallery owner Kimberly Saari said the maturation shown in the new collection is noticeable, with each piece telling its own story. It’s hard to nail down one narrative, Skurky-Thomas said, because each piece has its own history. Among the themes tackled in the collection are lethargy in

nature, the transition from winter to spring and imagery built off fractal patterns — showing that at a basic level, everyone is made out of the same building blocks. “We get so used to these cookie-cutter bodies and shapes … and I think it’s important to spend time really looking at ourselves. That’s a really important part of the work, is to be intimate with these oddities that make us interesting as people,” Skurky-Thomas said. Once the art leaves the gallery, it’s meant to be lived with, he said. The collection will be on display through July 26. — To reach Margaret Hair, call 871-4204 or e-mail mhair@steamboatpilot.com

Denver’s airport could get $1B lift DIA manager says passenger train station, moving security checkpoints part of plan THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

Denver’s airport could get a $1 billion makeover that would include moving security checkpoints out of the main terminal’s vast Great Hall and adding a passenger train station. Airport manager Kim Day briefed City Council members Wednesday on preliminary plans for the city-owned airport. Day says security screening could be moved to the areas just outside the Great Hall, where ticket counters and luggage carousels now are located. That would allow passengers waiting to change planes to come into the main terminal without going through security. The train station would serve a rail line planned to link the airport to downtown Denver. The makeover also includes plans for a new hotel next to the terminal. Improvements would be paid for out of airport revenues. Airport officials say that of the 50 million or so travelers who use the airport annually, about 44 percent make connections, but they may be shun-

ning shops and restaurants in the main terminal because of the need for rescreening. The concourses also have shops and restaurants. Drawing visitors to the main terminal could help the airport boost non-aviation revenue, Day said. Food, beverage and retail revenues can help airports keep costs down for space they rent to airlines. Lower airline costs can translate into cheaper tickets. The airport has chosen Parsons Transportation Group as project manager for the redevelopment. Parsons will oversee and monitor $700 million to $950 million in terminal reconstruction and commuter-rail bridge work, DIA officials said. A contract calls for Parsons to receive up to $160 million over seven years to oversee design and construction of the Great Hall makeover, additions to accommodate the rail line to the airport, train bridges over roads to the airport, and the hotel. However the airport estimates it would only need to pay Parsons $80 million to $90 million. Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava is part of the project team Parsons assembled.

Body in Arizona could be woman with Colorado ties THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Authorities say a body found in an Arizona state park may be the remains of a 19-year-old mother of two who disappeared in Colorado in 2002. Rio Grande County Sheriff Brian Norton said last week the body is thought to be that of Danice Day. Day, who lived in Monte Vista, was last seen in January 2002. She also had lived in Laramie, Wyo. Norton says the remains were found in Arizona’s Lyman Lake State Park, about 170 miles northeast of Phoenix. He says DNA tests are planned to confirm whether the body is Day’s. He declined to say what led investigators to the site. No arrests have been made. Day’s mother, Jonene Day, of Laramie, Wyo., told the Laramie Daily Boomerang newspaper that the remains were found in a barrel in a body of water described to investigators by a suspect.

“The suspect described the barrel to a tee,” Jonene Day said. Undersheriff Chuck Chick Thursday said he could not comment on Jonene Day’s description of how the remains were found or whether there are any suspects, citing a court gag order. Family members immediately suspected foul play when Danice Day disappeared, leaving behind her personal belongings and her children, a 3-yearold boy and 6-month-old girl. She was last seen leaving her job at a restaurant. Jonene Day said the possible discovery of remains reopens feelings she felt when her daughter was first reported missing. “This is really hard, because we have to sort of start over and really grieve,” she said. “This is it.” Added Danice Day’s sister, Jacqui Flint, of New York: “It’s like, we didn’t really know for sure she was dead. And now, I feel like we’re grieving over actual death.

Planners OK uranium mill MONTROSE

Montrose County planners voted unanimously to recommend a special-use permit for a proposed uranium and vanadium mill in southwest Colorado. The vote was late Wednesday. County commissioners have the final say on the permit, and it’s not clear when they’ll vote. State health officials also would have to approve the mill. Toronto-based Energy Fuels Inc. wants to build the mill 12 miles west of Naturita (NA’chur-EE’-tuh) and about 225 miles southwest of Denver. Supporters say the mill will create jobs. Opponents say uranium ore could threaten residents’ health. Among those speaking against the mill was actress Darryl Hannah, who grew up in the area and maintains a home in adjacent San Miguel County.

The money also will be used to replace Tasers and safety vests and for a system to monitor jail visitors. Nearly half of Colorado Springs police department’s $1.3 million will go toward a records management system. Police spokesman Lt.

Report: Relationship pact had cop beat girlfriend OLATHE

A western Colorado police officer faces a domestic violence charge after a woman claimed he beat her regularly as part of a relationship contract that called for corporal punishment. Olathe Officer Michael Percival was arrested June 26 on suspicion of misdemeanor assault. Town Attorney David Masters says Percival has been suspended pending a hearing. There was no answer Thursday at a number listed for Percival. A deputy booking the

woman into jail on unrelated charges discovered marks that the woman said came from beatings from a belt. Investigators say the woman showed them two contracts allegedly written by Percival that concerned her hygiene, sexual behavior and clothing and spelled out punishments, including beatings with a belt.

Colorado Springs police: Drug ring used restaurant COLORADO SPRINGS

Colorado Springs police say they broke up a drug ring that was being run out of a chicken restaurant. Officers say they arrested two men June 15 and seized $33,000 worth of powder crack cocaine and $21,000 in cash. Investigators say two men supplied the drugs to a third man, who sold them to people who pretended to be customers of the chicken restaurant. The two suspected drug suppliers were arrested. There’s no immediate word on whether the third man faces charges. Police say an informant gave them cell phone numbers of drug suppliers and other information that led to the arrests after a three-month investigation. The FBI participated in the investigation with Colorado Springs police.

Western Union aids African businesses THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STEAMBOAT TODAY

A U.S. aid agency and Western Union are teaming up to offer a cash boost to subSaharan Africans who live in the U.S. but have business plans back home. The African Diaspora Marketplace program offers matching grants of $50,000 to $100,000 for small- to medium-sized business proposals that can boost the economy in applicants’ home countries. Applications are due July 21. The U.S. Agency for International Development, Colorado-based Western Union and other partners have set aside $1.5 million for the program, but the pot could grow through donations. The program comes as the recession threatens to undo years of work fighting poverty in sub-Saharan Africa, where remittances can outstrip official development aid. “The program is really great

to encourage those of us who are outside the country to go back and invest,” said Eliab Tarkghen, a software engineer in Alexandria, Va., whose family moved from Ethiopia in 1986 to escape communism. Tarkghen, 37, declined to give details but said he is exploring applying for the program, possibly to open an assembly plant in Ethiopia. “The way I look at it, the program is the final push if you have ideas, want to go back, but are afraid of the risk. But if someone will give you a grant and help you out, you are willing to take the risk,” Tarkghen said. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents from one of 19 countries in subSaharan Africa where USAID has a presence and potential technical assistance programs. They also must have a partner in the country where they plan to go.

Paychecks drop some weight As unemployment increases, those who have jobs make less Jeannine Aversa

STEAMBOAT TODAY

Americans lucky enough to still have a job are noticing something unpleasant in their paychecks: They’re making less money. Employers cut 467,000 jobs in June, far more than expected, and the jobless rate hit a 26-year high of 9.5 percent. Just as worrisome, wages shrank to their lowest in nearly a year. The bleak news Thursday from the Labor Department underscored one of the big threats to an economic turnaround: Rising joblessness and falling wages for those still working could send Americans back into spending hibernation and short-circuit any recovery. President Barack Obama acknowledged concern. “What we’re still seeing is too many jobs lost, too many families who are worried about whether they’re going to be next in terms of job loss, or whether they can find another,” he said. The falling wages come from furloughs, pay freezes and pay cuts imposed by employers across the country. Many

also have cut hours: The average work week in June fell to 33 hours, the lowest on records dating to 1964. Nathan Bieber, 26, who works at Einstein Bros. Bagels in Phoenix, works 28 to 30 hours a week now, down from his previous 37 — a loss of as much as $100 weekly. He’s canceled his Internet service and deferred payments on student loans six times. His wife, who is legally blind and works at another Einstein Bros. location, has had her hours slashed from 30 to 15. They rely on her disability pay for rent and the electric bill. “If it weren’t for that,” he said, “we’d be homeless.” The bleak jobs news sent stocks sinking. All the major stock indexes finished down more than 2.5 percent, including a 223-point decline for the Dow Jones industrials, its worst performance in more than two months. Job losses had decreased every month since January, but they increased in June. The 467,000 job losses were up from 322,000 in May and far worse than the 363,000 economists were expecting.

By comparison, the increase in the unemployment rate for June was small, up just a tenth of a percentage point to 9.5 percent. Many economists predict it will hit 10 percent this year and keep rising into next year before falling back.

Like many unemployed older workers, 64-year old Allan Kellum fears his age has made it harder to find a new job. At a recent job fair, Kellum expressed interest in a supervisory role coordinating an international health assistance program. A recruiter set him straight: “The people applying for that are young.” So now Kellum, who lives in McLean, Va., takes no chances. He’s deleted his college graduation date from his résumé and reduced the number of years it covers. He’s hoping that will help move his résumé past any screen-

ers who would be put off by his age. Kellum, who’s been out of work since January, may be right to be concerned. Despite their years of experience, outof-work older people are finding it harder than other adults to find new jobs. And attempts to appear younger on résumés and in person — some are even taking Botox injections — may be no match for the squeeze this recession is putting on employers. Older workers always have found it harder than others to land a new job after a layoff. In part, that’s because many employers assume they’re more expensive or won’t stay long in

jobs that pay less than they’ve earned previously. But this job market has been especially frustrating for them. The Labor Department said Thursday that as of June, unemployed workers 55 or older were jobless an average of nearly 30 weeks, compared with about 21 weeks for those younger than 55. That gap has widened during the recession: In 2006, it averaged only six weeks. And the jobless rate for those 55 and older increased to 7 percent in June, the highest for that age group on records dating to 1948. “This recession seems to be a little bit different” because of the “unusually large increase” in unemployment among older workers, said Richard Johnson, a senior fellow at the Urban Institute and expert on retirement issues.

GM waits for judge’s ruling Car company to sell off good assets if plan is approved NEW YORK

The judge in the General Motors bankruptcy case adjourned a three-day hearing without indicating when he will rule on the company’s plan to sell its good assets to a new company. U.S. Judge Robert Gerber asked GM’s attorneys to submit a proposed order that would be entered if the sale were to be approved. They said they would do so by tonight or Saturday. Gerber is expected to rule some time after that. A lawyer for GM warned the court that the only alternative to GM’s plan would be a liquidation of the company’s assets that would have “horrific” consequences for everyone involved. Attorney Harvey Miller said the government is committed to cutting off funding to GM

of the sale is not approved by July 10. That followed testimony Wednesday from a member of President Barack Obama’s automotive task force who indicated the government has no plans to continue funding GM past next Friday if the sale is not approved by then. GM’s government-backed plan for a quick exit from Chapter 11 protection hinges on the sale of most of its assets to a new entity, allowing the automaker to leave behind many of the costs and liabilities that have made it unprofitable. The Detroit car maker’s June 1 filing for bankruptcy protection was the fourth-largest in U.S. history. Some parties objecting to the sale argued in court that the Obama Administration won’t allow GM to fail. “Essentially the objectors are asking you to play Russian roulette,” Miller told Gerber, adding

that ignoring the deadline puts the futures of GM’s employees, retirees, and creditors all at risk. Harry Wilson, the task force member that testified on Wednesday, said a quick sale is needed because the government cannot keep sinking billions in tax dollars into the company for an open-ended period of time with no guarantee of success. On Thursday, Michael Richman, an attorney for a trio of bondholders opposed to GM’s plan told Gerber to “call the government’s bluff” and require GM to restructure itself under Chapter 11 instead of approving the quick sale of its assets. This would allow the bondholders to negotiate for more in exchange for the debt they hold, he said. Richman said that although the company may be powerless to fight the government’s demands, the court can “push back” to protect the interests of all the company’s stakeholders.

Q: News out this morning: unemployment rate up to 9.5 percent, and it’s of course expected to go higher, as you’ve said that it probably would. What do you tell Americans who are worried that this really will be a jobless recovery, that they may not be able to find jobs, even if the economy gets better? Obama: Well, obviously we are deeply concerned about the employment rate. It’s one of the things that I am most focused on when I think about longterm economic policy. We have successfully stabilized the financial markets, and that’s important, because that was a huge drag that helped precipitate the crisis. We’ve started to see some stabilization on housing. But what we’re still seeing is too many jobs lost, too many families who are worried about whether they’re going to be next in terms of job loss ...

on our overall economy, and why clean energy is so important, because if we’re weatherizing every building and home in America, if we are creating windmills and solar panels and biofuel facilities, that is a huge promising area, not only for jobs here in the United States but also for export growth, and we’ve got to lift up our exports. So the last piece of this puzzle also is going to be education. We’ve got to produce more engineers, more scientists. We have to have more innovation. And although it’s been more quiet than some of the other reforms we’ve been talking about on energy and health care, our secretary of education is really emphasizing how do we lift up performance for all our children so they’ll be prepared for the jobs of the 21st Century. Q: Going to Russia this weekend. Why are you meeting with Putin? Obama: Well, I have developed a very good relationship with President Medvedev, and I think that we’re going to be able to get some important business done setting up a framework for a post-START treaty that will bring down the levels of nuclear warheads on both the Russian and the U.S. sides. But Prime Minister Putin still has a lot of sway in Russia, and I think that it’s important that even as we move forward with President Medvedev, that Putin understands that the old Cold War approaches to U.S.Russian relations is outdated, that it’s time to move forward in a different direction. I think Medvedev understands that. I think Putin has one foot in the old ways of doing business and one foot in the new. And to the extent that we can provide him and the Russian people a clear sense that the U.S. is

Interview highlights ■ Affirmative action The nation’s first African American president said a recent Supreme Court ruling in favor of white firefighters in New Haven, Conn., doesn’t close the door on thoughtful efforts at affirmative action aimed at maintaining diversity in the workplace or in college admissions. He cautioned that affirmative action “hasn’t been as potent a force for racial progress as advocates would claim, and it hasn’t been as bad on white students seeking admissions or seeking a job as its critics have said.” ■ Guantanamo detainees Obama said he’s open to the idea of detaining certain Guantanamo Bay terror suspects someplace else for prolonged periods, but it may turn out that he won’t be comfortable with any proposals to do that. Obama said some detainees aren’t a good fit for prosecution in the United States or under international law. “How we deal with those situations is going to be one of the biggest challenges of my administration.” ■ Economy As the nation struggles with escalating unemployment, Obama said, health care reform and an increased focus on clean energy are two critical areas that can be exploited to boost the economy. “If we’re weatherizing every building and home in America, if we are creating windmills and solar panels and biofuel facilities, that is a huge promising area not only for jobs here in the United States, but also for export growth.” ■ Afghanistan The president said he will reassess the possible need for additional U.S. troops in Afghanistan after the Afghan national elections in August. The narrow national security goal, he said, is to ensure terrorist organizations are not acting with impunity. To that end, the U.S. must help build the Afghan army and encourage Pakistan to shore up its borders, he said. “I think those goals can be achieved without us increasing our troop levels.” — The Associated Press

South Carolina first lady Jenny Sanford says she may be able to forgive her husband’s much-publicized affair with an Argentine woman, but true reconciliation will take more time. In a statement e-mailed to reporters Thursday, Jenny Sanford called her husband’s behavior inexcusable but said she may be able to give him another chance. It was her first public remark since Gov. Mark Sanford said Maria Belen Cha-

pur is his soul mate but he is trying to fall back in love with his wife. “Forgiveness opens the door for Mark to begin to work privately, humbly and respectfully toward reconciliation with me,” she said. “However, to achieve true reconciliation will take time, involve repentance, and will not be easy.” Mark Sanford’s spokesman, Joel Sawyer, said the governor will travel Friday to be with his family in Florida, where his inlaws live. The embattled Republican brushed aside calls for his resignation as state law enforce-

ment officials announced that an investigation found he had used no taxpayer money on trips to New York and Argentina where he saw Chapur. Jenny Sanford found out about the affair in January, but it didn’t become public until Mark Sanford announced it at an emotional news conference last week following a secret trip to Buenos Aires. His wife said he repeatedly had asked permission to go to Argentina to visit his mistress, but she said no. He went anyway, telling his staff he was planning to hike the Appalachian Trail.

Web retailers and states tussle about tax rules NEW YORK

In a big break for online shoppers, Web retailers generally don’t have to charge sales taxes in states where they lack a store or some other physical presence. Increasingly, states aching under the weight of the recession are seeking a way around that rule. Because companies such as Amazon.com get help drumming up sales from online affiliates — people who link to products on their blogs, promote Web shopping deals and offer coupons — several states say the Internet retailers should charge sales taxes in states where those affiliates are based. The financial benefits may not be quite what the states anticipate, though. Rather than gearing up to collect taxes, Amazon and other Web retailers simply are shutting down their affiliate marketing programs. As the small businesses that participate in these programs get cut off, a state could lose tax revenue rather than add to it.

A look at what the affiliates do helps explain why. They’re just one of several methods that e-commerce companies have for driving visitors to their Web sites, so nixing them is not necessarily a big loss for the companies.

Police seeking record US aid to avoid layoffs WASHINGTON

The nation’s police departments are clamoring for an unprecedented amount of federal aid to forestall big local tax hikes or the possible layoff of nearly 40,000 police officers — enough to staff the entire New York City Police Department. When President Barack Obama signed the huge economic stimulus bill earlier this year, $1 billion was set aside to help local and state police avoid layoffs or keep their police academy classes intact. The response has been staggering: Departments applied for more than $8.3 billion in aid, meaning only a fraction of the demand can actually be met. July will be a nervous month for mayors and police com-

manders as they await official word on how much aid they will get from the grant program known as COPS. The first award announcements are expected this month. “You’ve got to cross your fingers and remain optimistic,” said Mayor Ron Dellums, of Oakland, Calif. Dellums said without federal aid, his city could lose 140 police positions, and California law gives few options for raising taxes to keep those officers. Even before a single COPS grant check has been mailed, Dellums said the huge demand for help shows that without more aid, Oakland and other cities “are going to be confronted with the stark reality that we have to cut back.” In Pontiac, Mich., Police Chief Valard Gross has seen plenty of spending cuts in recent years and is worried that the red ink spilling across local budgets everywhere else means his city will now get less.

Americans who refuse to buy affordable medical coverage could be hit with fines of more than $1,000 under a health care overhaul bill unveiled Thursday by key Senate Democrats looking to fulfill President Barack Obama’s top domestic priority. The Congressional Budget Office estimated the fines will raise around $36 billion in 10 years. Senate aides said the penalties would be modeled on the approach taken by Massachusetts, which now imposes a fine of about $1,000 a year on individuals who refuse to get coverage. Under the federal legislation, families would pay higher penalties than individuals. In a revamped health care system envisioned by lawmakers, people would be required to carry health insurance just like motorists must get auto coverage now. The government would provide subsidies for the poor and many middle-class families, but those who still refuse to sign up would face penalties. Called “shared responsibility payments,” the fines would

be set at least half the cost of basic medical coverage, according to the legislation. In 2008, employer-provided coverage averaged $12,680 a year for a family plan, and $4,704 for individual coverage, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation’s annual survey. Senate aides, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly, said the cost of the federal plan would be lower but declined to provide specifics. The legislation would exempt certain hardship cases from fines. The fines would be collected through the income tax system. The new proposals were released as Congress neared the end of a weeklong July 4 break, with lawmakers expected to quickly take up health care legislation when they return to Washington. With deepening divisions along partisan and ideological lines, the complex legislation faces an uncertain future. Obama wants a bill this year that would provide coverage to the nearly 50 million Americans who lack it and reduce medical costs.

Problematic speed sensors on the Airbus A330-200 jet that have been the focus of intense speculation since the crash may have misled the plane’s pilots but were not a direct cause, Bouillard said, while admitting that investigators are still a long way from knowing what precipitated the disaster. “The investigation is a big puzzle,” said Bouillard, who is leading the probe for the French accident agency BEA. “Today we only have a few pieces of the puzzle, which prevents us from even distinguishing the photo of the puzzle.” The plane was flying from Rio de Janeiro to Paris when it went down in a remote area of the Atlantic, 930 miles (1,500 kilometers) off Brazil’s mainland and far from radar coverage.

OAS chief says sanctions are likely in Honduras TEGUCIGALPA, HONDURAS

A top diplomat said Thursday that he is heading to Honduras to demand the return of the president toppled at gunpoint — a mission he said is likely to meet rejection, bringing diplomatic and economic punishment for the impoverished Central American nation. The director of the Organization of American States, Jose Miguel Insulza, said he plans to travel to Honduras today to insist on the restoration of President Manuel Zelaya, who was ousted in a coup Sunday.

Iran on Thursday announced more arrests in the postelection turmoil, detaining seven alleged provocateurs of violence it says were linked to Iranian exiles. The move underlines authorities’ drive to portray protests as the work of outsiders rather than a reflection of widespread popular dismay. The arrests continue a heavy crackdown that has squashed the mass protests that erupted over the disputed June 12 presidential vote. Iran’s top police chief has said 20 people were killed in violence during the protests and that 1,032 people were detained.

WHO officials gather to battle swine flu challenges CANCUN, MEXICO

Swine flu is running wild in the Southern Hemisphere and is spreading rapidly through Europe, with Britain projected to reach 100,000 daily cases by the end of August. The virus is even showing signs of rebounding in Mexico. World Health Organization Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan and health ministers from around the globe huddled Thursday in Cancun for a twoday summit to design strategies for battling the pandemic. Nations attending include the United States, Canada, China, Britain and Brazil.

Afghanistan operation begins Marines suffer casualties on 1st full day of military campaign Jason Straziuso

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NAWA, AFGHANISTAN

U.S. Marines suffered their first casualties of a massive new military campaign Thursday as they engaged in sporadic gunbattles along 55 miles of Talibancontrolled heartland in southern Afghanistan. One Marine was killed and several others were injured or wounded on the first full day of the assault, the largest military operation in Afghanistan since the fall of Taliban government in 2001. The offensive will test the Obama administration’s new strategy of holding territory and letting the Afghan government

sink roots in Helmand province. The insurgency has proven particularly resilient in this area, where foreign troops have never before operated in such large numbers. President Barack Obama said Thursday that he has a “very narrow definition of success when it comes to our national security interests” in the region. “And that is that al-Qaida and its affiliates cannot set up safe havens from which to attack Americans.” “I think we can measure it by whether or not they’ve got training camps where people are coming in and getting trained in explosives, being sent out and directed in carrying out terrorist activity,” Obama said in Washington. An immediate goal, the

military says, is to clear away insurgents before the nation’s Aug. 20 presidential election. Southern Afghanistan is a Taliban stronghold but also a region where Afghan President Hamid Karzai is seeking votes from fellow Pashtun tribesmen. Without such a large Marine assault, the Afghan government likely would not be able to set up voting booths to which citizens could safely travel. The Pentagon is deploying 21,000 additional troops to Afghanistan in time for the elections and expects the total number of U.S. forces there to reach 68,000 by year’s end. That is double the number of troops in Afghanistan in 2008 but still half as many as are now in Iraq.

North Korea fires short-range missiles Jae-soon Chang

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA

North Korea fired a barrage of short-range missiles off its east coast Thursday, a possible prelude to the launch of a longrange missile toward Hawaii during the July Fourth holiday. Firing a ballistic missile on Independence Day would be a challenge to Washington, which has been rallying international support for enforcement of U.N. sanctions imposed

against Pyongyang after a May 25 nuclear test. North Korea is banned from testing ballistic missiles under U.N. resolutions. Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Takeo Kawamura said Thursday that a long-range missile launch this weekend was possible. “We cannot rule out the possibility,” he said, citing Pyongyang’s past behavior. In 2006, North Korea launched its most advanced Taepodong 2 missile while the U.S. celebrated Independence

Day, though the rocket fizzled shortly after takeoff and fell into the ocean. Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said the United States remains concerned about North Korea’s missile and nuclear programs but called Thursday’s launches “not unexpected.” Several U.S. Defense Department officials said there is nothing to indicate that North Korea is ready to launch a longrange ballistic missile and that there appears to be no immediate threat to the United States.

Jobless data sends stocks reeling; Dow loses 223 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK

The stock market found little to celebrate heading into the long holiday weekend. Major stock indexes fell more than 2.6 percent Thursday, pushing the Dow Jones industrials to their lowest level in six weeks, after the government reported the unemployment rate hit a 26year high and that employers cut

far more jobs than expected. The data was especially disappointing because it broke a trend of four straight months of improvement in job losses. The report — one of the most closely watched gauges of the economy’s health — delivered the latest blow to the market’s already waning confidence. Investor optimism has been shaken in recent weeks amid a barrage of mixed economic reports, making for an erratic market.

This past week was no exception. Stocks increased Monday, then erased nearly all their gains the next day after a report showing an unexpected drop in consumer confidence. On Wednesday the market bounced back after getting some reassuring data on manufacturing and housing, only to tumble again Thursday on the disappointing jobs report. “There’s not a lot of conviction on either side,” said Jill Evans, coportfolio manager of the Alpine

Dynamic Dividend Fund. The Dow Jones industrials lost 223.32, or 2.6 percent, to 8,280.74, the lowest close since May 22. It was the average’s worst day since April 20. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 26.91, or 2.9 percent, to 896.42 and the Nasdaq composite index fell 49.20, or 2.7 percent, to 1,796.52.

impacted by system irregularities, an NYSE spokeswoman said. The stock market rallied furiously this spring off of 12-year lows beginning in early March on hopes for a recovery, but the upward momentum has stalled since mid-June as doubts grow about whether the economy had really found a bottom. Since hitting multi-month highs June 12, the Dow has fallen a total of 5.9 percent, while the S&P 500 index has lost 5.3 percent.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Organizers of the Steamboat Springs Running Series hope to get a running start this weekend at attracting more young competitors with a SaturdaySunday Running Series doubleheader. Saturday’s Steamboat Sprint is open to all ages and, in the past, regularly has launched runners as young as 5 years old. Sunday’s Mountain Madness event, meanwhile, will include a 1-kilometer race for young children. “We just wanted to get all these kids that do the mountain bike series to come out and try running,” Mountain Madness race director Scott Blair said. Both the 10-kilometer and half marathon races launch at 8 a.m. Sunday from the Howelsen Ice Arena. Once the long distance crew has cleared out, the children will get a chance to make one loop of the arena, a course that will be about 2/3 of a mile. Hula hoops with a special patriotic design will await the fastest boy and fastest girl. “If they play soccer or do some of the other outdoors sports, running is already a part of what they do,” Blair said. “This one is a little different, but it’s a sport kids can enjoy, as well.” Whether children opt to run the 1k or the 10k — about six miles — they’ll get a big break from the regular $20 registration price for series events. They only have to pay their age, so a 7-year old can register for $7. There will be no shortage of chances for adults to stretch their legs this weekend, either. The Steamboat Sprint, set for 9:40 a.m. on Lincoln Ave., not only gives racers the opportunity to dash 400 meters down Steamboat’s main street, but the See Running, page 48

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The rodeo is patriotic without even trying — but Steamboat Springs Pro Rodeo announcer John Shipley said he usually tries. It’s a habit he picked up from his own days in the rodeo, when

he heard legendary announcer Clem McSpadden. “He used to do a big deal at the beginning of a rodeo, had it memorized, and he’d talk about God, apple pie, Chevrolet and rodeo,” Shipley said. “It gave me goose bumps on goose bumps, and that was a part of the influence for me to be a rodeo announcer.”

Now, Shipley always starts the Steamboat rodeo off with a tribute to the flag and a call to remember those who have served and are serving in the military. Even he admitted that routine will come a little short of what the rodeo has planned for See Rodeo, page 49

Bob Mullen likes to joke that his golf career started in a cemetery behind his house when he was 9 years old and will eventually end in a cemetery. But in between, the 20-year Steamboat Springs resident thinks he’s found some groundbreaking knowledge about the golf swing. Mullen is a certified master training professional with the United States Golf Teachers Federation and is ranked among the top 25 teachers out of 13,000 federation members. He has put his knowledge into a book, the recently published “Golf From the Ground Up.” Mullen, who used to own All Seasons Golf in Steamboat, said in his two years there he was able to dissect the golf swing in life-size proportion. During that time, he started to study the way the brain worked and reacted to new knowledge. He found that after a person turns 20, the brain can accept changing only one motor skill at a time. For instance, Mullen said if he was to change a person’s grip, he’d have them work on it nearly every day for three weeks to allow the brain to change that motor skill. His book is based on what he calls the platform. He goes over grip, stance, footwork, rotation, ball position, alignment and pre-shot routine. “You learn the stance, grip, footwork, rotation and everything you need to go out and hit a golf ball,” he said. “You learn the most important things from the brain.” Mullen said there is something for every golfer of every skill level in his book. He said that too often, people want to improve their golf game by using gimmicks they see on television or short blurbs they read in a golf magazine. “If you see something that says it will fix your swing in 20 minutes, it’s a lie,” he said.

Nordic combined events today PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The Rocky Mountain Jumping Extravaganza begins at 9 a.m. today at Howelsen Hill. The event begins with three jumps today, a roller ski race at 9:30 a.m. Saturday and a target jump competition starting at 11 a.m. Saturday. The top U.S. Nordic combined athletes in the nation are expected to compete, including world champions Todd Lodwick, Bill Demong and Johnny Spillane. Today’s second jump will be paired with Saturday’s roller ski race as part of a Nordic combined competition. The roller ski race takes place on Lincoln Avenue just before the Fourth of July Parade. For those who have never seen ski jumping, it’s quite the sight. All the jumping will take place on the HS-75 jump at Howelsen. Competitors in the jumping portion will reach

SPORTS BRIEFS speeds upwards of 60 mph before flying off the jump. The target jump begins at 11 a.m. Saturday with a qualification round. From there, event officials cut the field to 24, 12 and six before a winner is determined. The target jump is unique in that the whole field has a good shot at it, because a predetermined distance is set. The closest to that distance wins.

Team Lightning shows well in Grand Junction Despite having a smaller than usual team, the Steamboat Springs Team Lightning summer swim team placed eighth in the Grand Junction Invitational Swim Meet. Although the team usually takes about 70 swimmers, during the weekend event the team took only 15. Still, the finish sheet was filled with top finishes. Finishing strong were Frank

Ruppel with three firsts, a second and three thirds; Kane Park with two seconds; Harry Wilson with a third; and Samantha Terranova with a first. The girls relay team of Piper Rillos, Taylor Kortas, Sarah Kite and Terranova finished third in the 200 medley and 200 free. The boys relay team of Harry Wilson, Park, Ruppel and Tyler Terranova finished third in the 200 medley. “It’s unlike any other one we go to,” said Paul Rose, who coaches the 11- and 12-yearolds. “You have preliminaries in the morning, and then in the afternoon, you go onto finals.” The Grand Junction pool was a 50-meter pool, something the team rarely trains in. Rose said he especially was pleased with most of the swimmers recording faster times in the finals than their preliminary races. Team Lightning next races July 10 to 12 in Craig. The team is expected to take more than 100 swimmers to the event.

US team to wear Polo again DENVER

The U.S. Olympic team will stay with the Polo look for the opening and closing ceremonies in Vancouver and London. The U.S. Olympic Committee announced Thursday it was renewing its apparel deal with Ralph Lauren. The 2010 uniforms will be unveiled later this year. The federation said the uni-

forms will “celebrate the rich history of the Olympic Games with a nod to the Lake Placid Games of 1932,” with a classic uniform of red, white and blue. This is not a cash deal for the USOC, which is trying hard to keep sponsors signed up through the 2012 Games and beyond. But the federation will get royalties from any retail sales of the items, and there is a bigger push at the USOC to sell parts of the uniform to the general public.

The hope is that Ralph Lauren will produce some piece of clothing that catches fire, much like the Roots berets did at the Salt Lake City Games in 2002. “If you hit, you hit it really big,” said Peter Zeytoonjian, the USOC’s new managing director of consumer products. “We’re hoping some of the stuff that’s coming out from Ralph will actually resonate well with the customers.”

The Chicago Cubs have acquired infielder Jeff Baker from the Colorado Rockies for minor league right-handed pitcher Al Alburquerque and designated infielder Ryan Freel for assignment. Baker was activated off the Rockies’ 60-day disabled list and was to join the Cubs for their Thursday night game at Wrigley Field against the

Milwaukee Brewers. Baker batted .268 with 12 home runs and 48 RBI in 104 games last year for the Rockies and can play several infield positions and the outfield. He’s played only 12 games this season because of a sprained left hand that sent him to the disabled list

April 29. Baker is a career .257 hitter in five major league seasons with 22 homers and 88 RBIs. Alburquerque was 1-0 with a 2.08 ERA in 24 relief appearances for Single-A Daytona this season. Freel, acquired by the Cubs from Baltimore for Joey Gathright on May 8, batted .143 in 14 games with Chicago.

You can’t transform the neurons in your brain in one day.” Mullen said his book takes golfers through every element of the swing and helps them learn the game the right way. It doesn’t offer any quick fixes, but rather helps people relearn the motor skills that will lead to more enjoyable golf. “If you want to learn to play golf, you have to work at it,” he said.

The race comes in the minutes leading up to the city’s annual Fourth of July Parade. “It’s always a lot of fun,” series organizer Cara Marrs said. “We get all sorts of people for that race, from 5 years old to 70 years old. It’s really popular.” The Mountain Madness, meanwhile, offers a relatively flat course for the 10k. Racers will head out on River Road, dip into the Dakota Ridge development for half a mile, then come back along the road toward the ice arena to finish. A greater challenge awaits in the 13.1-mile half marathon. Racers will continue on and up through the Dakota

Ridge development, exit and roll a little further down River Road before turning around and returning to the start/finish line. “We have a pretty good climb going through Dakota Ridge,” Blair said. “Other than that, we have a pretty fast course. River Road is fast, and it’s scenic, running right by the river. Still, Dakota Ridge is a worthy climb, and it will make for some pretty tired legs. It will be tough trying to generate any leg speed after that.” Marrs said registration for Sunday’s race has been strong with more than 70 racers taking advantage of the new online registration available at www. runningseries.com. “We are really excited, but looking at those that have preregistered, it looks like we are attracting a lot of runners

Ramirez returns tonight SAN DIEGO

Manny Ramirez will be back in big leagues tonight after a 50-game suspension for violating baseball’s drug policy. His return should be nothing short of a spectacle. It’ll be the start of the Fourth of July weekend, and thou-

sands of blue-clad Los Angeles Dodgers fans are expected to be at sold-out Petco Park to support the dreadlocked slugger in the opener of a three-game series against the San Diego Padres. Harry the Heckler will be there, too.

“Oh, it’s going to be a lot of fun,” said Harry Maker, who for years has been ragging on opponents from his seat in left field. “I was hoping that we could have at least one slugger in the game that wasn’t tainted. Now Manny has just disappointed me, and he’s going to have to pay for it. I am not going to let up all weekend long.”

Shipley to announce Fourth of July rodeo Rodeo continued from 45 the largest rodeos of the year, however. To celebrate the July 4 weekend rodeos, which run today and Saturday at 7 p.m., six of the top junior bull riders in the area will compete in the first-of-its-kind Ridn4Warriors event. The competition will open the rodeo both nights and will offer a massive spotlight to the top teenage riders and the armed force branches that each will represent. “There will be one rider each for the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Air Force and Veteran’s Affairs,” said local rodeo board member Rob Powers, who masterminded the event. “These kids are incredibly proud, not just to be riding for a much larger audience, but to be riding for the armed forces. “It fits perfectly in for July 4. It’s the troops and the future of the sport coming together for a perfect weekend.” The July 4 weekend rodeos are usually the most popular, and organizers don’t expect anything to change this year. In fact, tonight’s rodeo even offers a new twist. Saturday’s rodeo will precede Steamboat’s massive fireworks display.

Tonight’s show will be capped by a fireworks performance, as well. That won’t be the only thing different this year at the Steamboat rodeo,. Shipley has been the regular voice for the Steamboat rodeo but for the first time in 15 years, he’ll call the largest two events of the season. He has been a fixture at the massive Greeley Stampede during that time. This year, when given the opportunity to seek out the announcer’s microphone at other large rodeos in the region, he opted instead to stay at home. “Consider the independence that created this country. There are so many parallels — clichés to those with a more jaded view. Compare that to independence of a cowboy playing his own way, deciding where he’s going to compete,” Shipley said. “Rodeo is a truly American sport. It was developed here. They participate in other countries but not nearly as well. “If there’s another day that is more of a perfect setting for pro rodeo than July 4, I can’t think what it is.” — To reach Joel Reichenberger, call 871-4253 or e-mail jreichenberger@steamboatpilot.com

Richard Williams refuses to watch his daughters Venus and Serena play each other. He says he simply can’t bear to see it, no matter the setting, no matter the stage. So once again, the patriarch of the greatest sister act in tennis history is heading home to the United States before the Wimbledon final. That’s because the women’s singles championship at the All England Club is Venus Williams vs. Serena Williams for the second year in a row and fourth time overall. The way the sisters won in

Thursday’s semifinals could hardly have been more different. “Serena nearly gave me a heart attack,” Dad said. “Venus played as if she had some place to go, and she was in a major league hurry to get a great dinner.” Serena went on Centre Court first and came within a point of losing to Beijing Olympics

gold medalist Elena Dementieva before grunting and grinding her way to a 6-7 (4), 7-5, 8-6 victory that lasted 2 hours, 49 minutes — longer than any Wimbledon women’s semifinal or final on record. “Definitely one of my more dramatic victories,” said Serena, who walloped a tournament-high 20 aces. “I felt like I was down pretty much the whole match.” Venus followed and dominated the No. 1-ranked woman, Dinara Safina, in an astonishingly easy 6-1, 6-0 win that took merely 51 minutes and equaled the most lopsided semifinal result here in the past 74 years. “The score just showed my level of play,” the third-seeded Venus said. “I was just dictating on every point.” In Saturday’s final, Venus will be trying to win her sixth Wimbledon and eighth Grand Slam title. Serena will be trying to win her third Wimbledon and 11th Grand Slam title. It’s the eighth all-Williams major final (Serena leads 5-2) and their 21st meeting on tour (they’re tied 10-all). “The more we play, the better it gets. When we play our match on Saturday, it’s for everything. This is what we dreamed of when we were growing up in Compton, 20-something years ago,” Serena said. “This is what we worked for, and this is what we want. Like, I wanted her to win today, and she wanted me to win today.” Venus has won 20 consecutive matches at Wimbledon; if she makes that 21, she will become the first woman since Steffi Graf in 1991-93 to win the tournament three straight years. On Friday, the day before they face off for the singles title, the sisters will wake up at the house they’re sharing during the tournament and head to the All England Club to play as a pair in the doubles semifinals, an event they won last year. Richard Williams said Serena persuaded him to stick around for that doubles match. But he’ll get on a plane Saturday, making sure to remind the pilots not to tell him who wins the singles final. How will he find out which daughter is this year’s Wimbledon champion? Not from TV. Or the Internet. Or by checking their Twitter feeds. No, he’ll find out the way he does every time one of his kids claims a Grand Slam championship: He’ll read the sign that his neighbors in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., always post on the gate of their house — “Congratulations, Venus!” or “Congratulations, Serena!” “All I know,” Dad said, “is a Williams is going to win.”
