Mecklenburg’s speech closed out the 14th annual Economic Summit. The Steamboat Springs Economic Development Council, a subcommittee of the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association, put on the event. This year’s summit was called “Thriving in Tough Economic Times.” About 195 people attended, organizer Grant Fenton said. Mecklenburg, who played defense for the Broncos for 12 years, received a standing ova-

tion after offering his “Six Keys to Success” — as well as plenty of tales from the gridiron. He told just one story about quarterback John Elway. They sat side by side during a flight back from San Francisco, where Mecklenburg had just played his last away game before retirement. Elway had an ice pack on his back and one on his knee. “He knew I was retiring,” See Summit, back page

y defending the rights of the citizens of Steamboat Springs to be informed about what members of a previous Steamboat Springs School Board were illegally discussing in secret in January 2007, the Steamboat Pilot & Today upheld the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution in the manner envisioned by the founders of our country. Because that statement may sound self-serving to those who mistakenly believe I work for the Pilot & Today, let me set the record straight. When the Pilot & Today offered me the opportunity to author a weekly opinion piece, it was with the understanding that I would do so as an independent columnist with complete autonomy to decide the subject matter and content of my columns. The paper’s management went one step further and specifically requested that I criticize their work when I felt the need. As regular readers know and management at the paper is painfully aware, I have not been shy in taking the paper to task in my columns publicly and privately behind closed

doors when I feel the paper has missed the mark. I will continue to do so as warranted, but today I applaud the efforts of the paper in fulfilling its role as government watchdog. As reported this week, the School Board voted, 4-1, on Monday to accept the Pilot & Today’s settlement offer relating to “a March ruling by the Colorado Court of Appeals that the previous School Board violated the state’s Open Meetings Law by not properly announcing the intention of its executive session at a Jan. 8, 2007, meeting.” The only School Board member who voted against the settlement was John DeVincentis. Contrary to the ill-informed beliefs of some — typified by the irrational bleating of DeVincentis when he stated the Pilot & Today just “wants to prove a point” and that the Pilot & Today’s decision to

enforce the law was “an inyour-face move by them to take $50,000 away from our students” — the role of the press is to ensure that the actions and deliberative processes of government remain open and visible to the governed. If DeVincentis doesn’t understand that truism, he should be sitting behind a school desk, not on a school board. Specifically, the constitutionally mandated role of the press is to act just as the most vigilant citizen would in observing and reporting to his neighbors the daily activities of government. That is what sets this country apart from many around the globe where members of the press are imprisoned and killed for daring to observe — much less question — the government. Sadly, in fulfilling the role of an unblinking citizen, a member of the Pilot & Today is often the only “citizen” in the room. In Routt County, it is common that Tom Ross, Brandon Gee, Zach Fridell or another reporter is the only person outside of government See Douglas, page 18

The Westchester County, N.Y., medical examiner reiterated Thursday his confidence that Slopeside Grill owner Chris Corna’s death was a suicide. Although Deputy Medical Examiner Alexander Milovanovic would not discuss the specific details that led him to his conclusion, he clarified that Corna Corna suffered only one knife cut across his neck. Port Chester police initially reported that Corna had suffered multiple knife wounds. Corna died early Monday in Port Chester, N.Y., after he crossed the centerline of U.S. Highway 1 in a rented car and crashed into the foundation of a railroad bridge. Milovanovic has said either the crash or the cut could have been the fatal injury. “I understand how much pain this tragedy brought to

all his friends, but we (made the determination) with reliable information, and everything is consistent with suicide,” Milovanovic said. “This very incident is plain, simple suicide.” Milovanovic said he reached his conclusion based on his examination of Corna and evidence provided by the Port Chester Police Department. “I would not place any death in a category without having evidence. I have to defend my decision,” he said. “In fact, for a suicide determination we need something that points that this was a deliberate act.” Port Chester police said Thursday that their investigation is not complete, and they declined to provide any additional details. Milovanovic said his work in the investigation is done, but he will continue to work with police as needed. The Steamboat Pilot & Today has submitted a request to the medical examiner’s office for the autopsy report, but because the toxicology report is included in the autopsy and could take sev-

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

Cheney grabs a third term Maureen Dowd

THE NEW YORK TIMES

Dick and Rummy are at Cafe Milano in Georgetown, holding court. The maitre d’ scrapes. Waiters hover. Tourists snap pics on their digital cameras. Cable chatterers stop by to ingratiate themselves. It isn’t so much that Dick and Rummy are back. It’s that they never left. They had no intention of turning America’s national security over to the Boy Wonder. The Dowd two best infighters in Washington history weren’t yielding turf to a bunch of peach-fuzz pinkos who side with terrorists. Let W. work out at the SMU gym, waiting for history to redeem him; Dick and Rummy are leaning forward into history, as they always do. Cheney is tawny with TV makeup; there’s no point taking

it off. The gigs are nonstop, and he has a big Obama-bashing speech Thursday at the American Enterprise Institute. “That was funny when you were on Fox and Neil Cavuto called you Obama’s ‘ball and Cheney,’” Rummy grins, taking a gulp of his brunello. Dick grunts, raising a fork of his Risotto Gucci with roasted free-range quail. “The punks thought they could roll over us,” Vice mutters. “Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” Eyeing the quail, Rummy shakes his head. “Can you believe the nerve of that dadburn whippersnapper at the press dinner, saying your memoir would be called ‘How to Shoot Friends and Interrogate People?’ Whatever happened to the great White House tradition of giving respect to your predecessors?” Dick is looking over at himself on the TV behind the bar, where Fox is doing a segment about how Republicans on the Sunday talk shows praised Dick for his

shock-and-awe campaign against Obama. “I can’t believe how easy it was to bring Obama into line,” Rummy says, gnawing on Gorgonzola. “We wouldn’t have needed waterboarding if everybody cracked like a peanut. It was even easier than getting the bit into Junior’s mouth. Way simpler than if we’d had to contend with McCain. In the end, the right guy won.” Dick is surprised, too, but who can tell? “You’re running national security now and everyone knows it,” Rummy says. “You got Obama to do an about-face on the torture photos. He’s using our old line about how it would endanger the troops. He’s keeping our military tribunals. His Justice Department invoked our state secrets privilege to try to get that lawsuit on torture and rendition dismissed. He’s trying to stop any sort of truth commission, thank goodness. He’s got his own surge going in Afghanistan. He’s withdrawing from Iraq more slowly. He’s See Dowd, page 9

Things are not always as they appear in the Middle East. Appearances also can deceive whenever an Israeli prime minister and a U.S. president get together in Washington. During their two-hour meeting at the White House on Monday, it appeared as though President Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu were bosom buddies. Netanyahu, especially, Thomas praised the new president and claimed agreement with Obama that, as a first priority, Iran must be stopped from possessing nuclear weapons. A “senior official traveling with the prime minister” (one of those euphemisms required to disguise who is really

MALLARD FILLMORE

speaking) told a small group of reporters and columnists following the White House meeting that, for the first time since the creation of Zionism, Jews and Arabs see eye-to-eye concerning the strategic threat a nuclear Iran would present. “This goal supersedes anything else,” said the official. In response to questions, the official acknowledged that Arab leaders say one thing to their friends and something quite different to their enemies. President Obama invoked an end-ofthe-year timeline for diplomacy with Iran to work. This would seem to give Iran a green light to pursue its nuclear bomb for the next seven months. At the end of December when we in the West learn that Iran has been stringing us along and using diplomacy as a delaying tactic, what then? Will it be Israel that bombs the nuclear sites, or will it be one or more of those Arab nations supposedly of one mind in opposition to a nuclear Iran? It’s a safe bet to put your money on

Israel doing the dirty work and suffering the usual condemnation — accompanied by more terrorist attacks from Hamas and Hezbollah — from the United States, the United Nations and the European Union, the latter two seeing nothing worth fighting to preserve. A more sobering assessment has come from RAND, a nonprofit research corporation. In a new report entitled “Dangerous But Not Omnipotent: Exploring the Reach and Limitations of Iranian Power in the Middle East,” prepared for the U.S. Air Force, RAND dismisses hopes that bilateral talks between the United States and Iran will alter Tehran’s behavior. It calls such hopes “unrealistic” and advocates a broad international effort that would leverage incentives and punishment based on Iran’s response. This has been tried before and mostly has proved ineffective because See Thomas, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

extended our secret incursions over the Afghan border into Pakistan.” Dick smiles on one side of his face. “Transparency bites,” he snarls. “By golly, yes,” Rummy says. “We controlled Junior by playing on his fear of looking like a wimp just as his dad did. And now we’re controlling Boy Wonder by playing on his eager-

ness to show that the Democrats are tough on defense. He’s a sucker for four-star generals, can’t resist anyone in uniform. Petraeus and Odierno speak and he jumps. If we want to roll him, we just send in the military brass flashing their medals.” The two old connivers clink glasses. “So,” Rummy muses, “what do we make our new White House boy toy do next?” “Well,” Dick says. “He’s got to keep Gitmo open. It’s rich that his own party won’t give

him the money to close it. He’s got to stop this pansy diplomacy with Muslim nations. He’s got to let Bibi take out those Iranian centrifuges. He’s got to stop his Kodak moments and Commie book club with Hugo Chavez. He’s got to release those CIA memos proving that we were right to rip up the Constitution. And, of course, he’s got to pardon Scooter.” “Can we get him to do all that, Dick?” Dick twinkles. “Yes, we can.”

there are countries that do not abide by economic boycotts. The senior Israeli official noted that while Israel has lived up to its obligations and commitments — especially when it has come to relinquishing land taken from enemies who launched attacks from that land, and who would do so again if they get it back — the Palestinian side has not. Does this not beg the question as to why any future promises should be believed when every previous promise has been broken? If there is to be a Palestinian

state, what kind of state will it be? Would it be allowed to have an army, or a “police force” that would effectively serve as an army? Surely Israel could not stand for another armed force in its neighborhood. Would a Palestinian state be permitted to have an airport and overland access to countries that might supply it with terrorists and weapons? In 1996, Netanyahu came to Washington for the first time as prime minister to meet with President Clinton. I recall him warning the Clinton administration that the greatest threat

facing Israel is the arming of Iran with nuclear weapons. He was a prophet then, and that prophecy is now on the verge of coming true. In a rebuke to the president’s commitment to diplomacy, Iran conducted a missile test within hours after Netanyahu left Washington for Israel. If Iran gets a nuclear bomb, everything will change in the Middle East. Whatever dim prospects for peace there may be will come unraveled. That’s why stopping Iran’s nuclear ambitions trumps a Palestinian state and everything else.

Most Routt National Forest campgrounds still closed Just one campground in the Routt National Forest will be available for Memorial Day weekend. Big Creek Lakes Campground, which is 35 miles northwest of Walden, will be open for campers but will not have water or trash available, according to a Tuesday news release from the U.S. Forest Service.

Most roads and campgrounds in the Routt National Forest still are closed, and many are covered in snow, according to the release. Those who want to visit the forest this weekend are advised to watch out for falling trees that might have been weakened by mountain pine beetles. Several campgrounds are open in the Laramie and Brush Creek ranger districts of the Medicine-Bow National Forest, about 2.5 hours north of Steamboat Springs.

River Festival starts today Event offers recreation and awareness on the Yampa STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

This is Peter Van De Carr’s 25th year running the Yampa River Festival. Aside from a love of the water and its uses, Van De Carr said his motivation to keep coming back is basic: “Well, it’s fun, that’s the only reason I do it. If it wasn’t fun, I wouldn’t do it,” he said. Now in its 29th year, the river festival has two purposes, Van De Carr said. The event shows locals and visitors all the recreational possibilities of the river; it also brings awareness to outside factors that can affect the water, Van De Carr said. “I just think that there are a lot of issues with the river — the pumpback project and the discussion of user conflicts. … And everybody who loves the river, this is a time to rally and show support and see what some of the issues are,” he said.

Decreased sales tax revenue cuts hours by 10 percent in Hayden Blythe Terrell

STEAMBOAT TODAY

Reduced sales tax income will force the town of Hayden to implement a furlough plan for its employees, Town Manager Russ Martin said. The town expects to bring in $800,000 in sales tax revenue in 2009, compared with $1.1 million in 2008, Martin said. All hourly employees will be reduced to an average of 36 hours per week, he said. That amounts to a cut of eight hours, or 10 percent, for every two-week pay period. Employees’ wages won’t change, Martin said. Cuts will go into effect after June 20 so employees have a

month to make financial plans, he said. As part of the cuts, Hayden Town Hall will be closed Friday afternoons starting June 5, Martin said. He said he didn’t expect to lay off any staff members, but the furloughs could last. “We don’t anticipate getting out of this scenario at least through the 2010 budget and possibly beyond,” Martin said. The cuts will affect every department and all 17 full-time, benefited town employees, he said. “Unless we can cut our base down to a reasonable level in all departments, we’ll be unable to make this work,” he said. Part-time and seasonal work-

ers also will feel the effects, though Martin wasn’t sure to what extent. The town’s three salaried employees — Martin, Parks and Recreation Director Kathy Hockett and Finance Director Lisa Dowling — have agreed to take a 10 percent pay cut as well, Martin said. Everyone’s cuts and furloughs will start June 21. Sales tax figures are tracking almost exactly with the town’s 2005 numbers, Martin said. Hayden brought in $809,000 in sales tax that year. The town is cutting staff levels accordingly, though Martin said he didn’t expect levels of See Furlough, page 16

Senior overcomes challenges PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

When Clinton Koler walks across the Soroco High School gymnasium stage Saturday, he’ll accomplish something his mother was told wouldn’t be possible. Koler’s mom, Stephanie Bratton, said when her son was born 19 years ago with Down syndrome, the doctors told her he’d be severely limited socially and intellectually. Bratton wouldn’t mind sharing a few choice words with those doctors. Koler will join his 26 senior classmates at 11 a.m. for the Class of 2009 graduation ceremony. “I didn’t expect him to get to this point,” she said. “When he was born, we were told he’d be a happy baby, but he wouldn’t go very far. “There’s nothing Clinton can’t do. The things he wants to do, he can achieve.” And there are very few people in South Routt County who don’t know him, said Soroco High School paraprofessional Jane Miles, who’s worked with

Koler for the past seven years. Miles said wherever they go, people know Koler and are drawn to him. Maybe that’s because he swam and ran track in the Special Olympics and skied since the third grade. Or because he was active at Soroco last year as manager for the boys basketball team, a member of the recycling program “Green Team,” and a part of the honor court at the homecoming and prom dances. He’s also active in Routt County 4-H and the Routt County Fair, showing sheep and horses. “He does it all,” she said, adding that Koler also is an avid painter, cooks and loves to dance. “He really gets involved.” And it’s about much more than people just knowing Koler. Miles said they all love him. Everyone is his friend. “This whole community,

since the day he was born, has been right by my family’s side,” Bratton said. “The whole community just came together.” Miles said Koler has overcome some significant challenges through the years, including his communication, math and reading skills. Koler will continue working with Miles at the high school a couple of days a week next year. Miles said she hopes to continue the development of his life skills so, eventually, he’ll be able to work. “He just needs instruction,” she said. “Once he gets the system down, he’s really quite good at it.” But until then, Koler is just getting ready for this weekend. Some family members are visiting for the ceremony. And he’s having a party afterward, something Bratton said he’s really excited about. “It’s going to be a big weekend for us,” Koler said.

Core Trail could see growth Construction possible in July at River Creek Park Tom Ross

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

People who enjoy walking, cycling and inline skating on the Yampa River Core Trail could have more of the popular path to explore by late summer or early fall. City Open Space and Trails Supervisor Craig Robinson said Thursday that construction could begin by July on a 3,054foot extension of the trail. The work would begin just upstream from the parking lot at River Creek Park, near the stoplight at U.S. Highway 40 and Walton Creek Road, where an existing pedestrian bridge crosses Walton Creek. The new trail extension would be surfaced with concrete and introduce trail users to a new stretch of the Yampa River via an easement through land controlled by the Mount Werner Water and Sanitation District. Planning for this extension of the trail began in 2003. “It’s a project we’ve been working on for quite a few years so it’s good to see it moving,” Robinson said. Robinson said grants totaling

TOM ROSS/STAFF

The city of Steamboat Springs hopes to begin construction in July on a 3,054foot paved extension of the Yampa River Core Trail, beginning at this bridge over Walton Creek and continuing to the south.

$467,000, from Great Outdoors Colorado and a Colorado Department of Transportation fund dedicated to multi-modal transit, already are in place. A soft surface trail exists on the south side of the pedestrian bridge. It runs across an undeveloped commercial lot and then through open space in front of South Side Station convenience store and finally the U.S. Forest Service headquarters. The trail makes a 90-degree turn before it reaches the park-

ing lot of the Steamboat Hotel — formerly Super 8 — and leads west through a lightly used portion of the parking lot at Walton Pond Apartments before reaching the river. The existing trail turns right again and heads downstream, but Robinson said the new extension will make a left turn at that point and roughly parallel the river upstream behind the Bunkhouse Lodge, See Core Trail, page 17

Agriculture Alliance celebrates 10 years Medora Fralick

SPECIAL TO THE PILOT & TODAY

How can any of us put a price on agriculture? Is it simply producing food for the world we live in? Is it a stabilizing force in our economy in turbulent times? Is it a source of stewarding the land for the rest of us to enjoy? Agriculture in Routt County is all of the above and so much more. Whether we are talking about raising livestock or other crops, stewarding the land, producing clothing or providing habitat for wildlife, every one of us reaps the benefits of the farmers and ranchers among us. The Community Agriculture Alliance, or CAAI, is a nonprofit organization celebrating its 10-year anniversary this year. This organization has worked diligently for the past

10 years to support the agricultural industry in the Yampa Valley through education, advocacy and programs that help to sustain production agriculture in this valley. Although not always in the forefront, this organization successfully has completed the majority of its goals that were set into a development plan in the early years of the organization. The purpose of this article is to point out that the alliance has been responsible for advocating for agriculture at the local, state and national levels. The alliance works on the Northwest Colorado Bull Sale, puts on water forums, provides land stewardship classes and supports the Deep Roots local

Zabel to replace Luppes Town won’t use reserves Gifts continued from 12 request process and to receive funds. “The gifts that were awarded are very significant to the improvement of services we can provide in the Hayden School District.” The Fund Board has distributed funding generated by Steamboat’s half-cent sales tax for the city’s schools since 1993. When the tax was put on last November’s ballot, it included language that would allow the tax proceeds to be shared with the Hayden and South Routt school districts. Voters overwhelmingly approved the measure with 72 percent support. “I think when (Referendums) 2A and 2B went to the voters in November, the Fund Board heard loud and clear from the community of Steamboat Springs that they wanted to share,” Fund Board member

Kristi Brown said Thursday. “I’m thrilled to carry out those wishes.” In other action, Hayden School Board members: ■ Approved the hire of Ty Zabel as activities director to replace Michael Luppes. Luppes, the former superintendent who retired after the 2007-08 school year, will remain as Hayden High School’s boys basketball coach. ■ Approved the 2009-10 proposed budget of more than $5 million. The board will adopt the budget in June before submitting the budget to the Colorado Department of Education by Dec. 31. ■ Approved salary schedules for 2009-10 that included a step increase for teachers and a 1 percent raise. ■ Approved capital expenditures in the amounts of nearly $13,000 for the new scoreboard and more than $12,100 to pay the district’s quarterly energy bill.

Furlough continued from 12 service to drop. The cuts include all Hayden Police Department employees. Police Chief Ray Birch will be charged with structuring his department accordingly, Martin said. “I couldn’t be more confident in their ability to find a way to cut back … (and) do their jobs at the highest level possible,” he said. The town won’t have to dip into its reserves yet, he said. The town could make additional cuts, and department heads will organize those. “This is not a surprise to anyone,” Martin said. The sales tax reduction is largely related to a slowdown in traffic at Yampa Valley Regional Airport in Hayden. YVRA accounts for half of Hayden’s sales tax, Martin said in October. YVRA saw fewer passengers this ski season, Airport

Manager Dave Ruppel said in April. December through March deplanements, or arriving passengers, decreased 14.7 percent compared with the same period in 2007-08. December through March enplanements, or departing passengers, decreased 12.5 percent. Martin said he was trying to take a measured approach to the cuts. He’ll present them to the Town Board of Trustees at its June 4 meeting. “I want to make sure we do this in a very clear and structured and nonpanicked way,” Martin said. He said that he was disappointed to have to cut back but that staff members were handling it well. “We’ve got a great staff,” Martin said. “I’m hoping that every single one of them stays with the town.” — To reach Blythe Terrell, call 871-4234 or e-mail bterrell@steamboatpilot.com

Potential for further trail expansion exists Core Trail continued from 14 Majestic Valley townhomes and River Place residential subdivision until it reaches Dougherty Road. Dougherty is a private road at that juncture and the trail dead-ends there. The most direct public access for people who park at River Creek Park is between the Forest Service office and Steamboat Hotel, Robinson said. The potential for a further trail extension exists if the city someday approves a proposed mixed residential/commercial development called The

Bridges. The developers are seeking annexation of a more than 40-acre property behind Steamboat Christian Center. Riley Polumbus, a spokeswoman for the developers of The Bridges, said in October 2008 that the project affords the opportunity to extend the river trail south toward the cityowned Hay Meadow Ranch (formerly known as Legacy Ranch) at Colorado Highway 131. That is the limit of the trail as described in the current master plan, Robinson said. — To reach Tom Ross, call 871-4205 or e-mail tross@steamboatpilot.com

Core Trail closures The Yampa River is peaking with high flows fed by snowmelt, and four underpasses along the Yampa River Core Trail are closed until spring runoff recedes. Other trail closures could be forthcoming. Current closures include: • 13th Street underpass • Railroad underpass upstream of Fetcher Pond • U.S. Highway 40 underpass at Walton Creek • Chinook Drive to the U.S. 40 underpass • Trafalgar Drive to Fetcher Pond, because of water on the trail at the Yampa River Botanic Park

Whether it’s the Routt County Board of Commissioners, the Steamboat Springs City Council, the Oak Creek, Hayden and Yampa town boards, or the multitude of school boards, planning commissions and advisory committees that meet each month, an employee of the Pilot & Today often is the only member of the public in attendance for significant portions of the proceedings. In fact, depending on the number of meetings to be covered on any given day, there are times when the paper can’t cover them all. Indeed, the paper is often criticized for not covering more government meetings and actions than it does.

ing malfeasance on the part of a local government agency or official. And although most allegations of impropriety and thousands of hours of sitting in government meetings happily results in demonstrating that the citizens of Routt County have government representatives they can be exceedingly proud of, there are times when the watchdog function of the press proves beneficial. Of recent vintage, the Pilot & Today has prevailed in two Open Meetings Law cases — the School Board matter settled this week and a suit against the Oak Creek Town Board that also was settled in favor of the paper. The newspaper played a significant role in the Steamboat Springs City Council’s decision to conduct public interviews of applicants for the recently filled position of city manager; uncovered a potentially illegal e-mail meeting by the Oak Creek Town Board that resulted in the board changing its e-mail procedures; won a motion to unseal records

in the Luz Cisneros murder case; uncovered inconsistencies in documents provided to the public by former Oak Creek Police Chief Russ Caterinicchio; and, more often than most of us know, picked up the phone to warn our public representatives to keep the public’s business public. Additionally, reporters and editors at the Pilot & Today spend countless hours reviewing thousands of pages of public documents and attending meetings each month so that they can — to the best of their ability — keep us informed about what our local governments are doing and, by their presence, remind officials that the public is watching their actions. So, no matter what DeVincentis and his ilk think about the role of a free press — or precisely because they don’t understand or value the role of a free press — the Pilot & Today must continue to remain vigilant.

Levine talks about turning trends into action

Trends continued from 15

“What we need to do is know what the trends are and then answer the trends, answer the demand in a creative and innovative way that will get people to say, ‘Hey, I want that,’” Levine said. In his talk Thursday, Levine used Sept. 15, 2008, as a benchmark for when consumers started changing their ways. That was the day Lehman Brothers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. “People talk about that as being the beginning of the recession … there’s been a huge shift in how people think and feel and relate to their money since then,” Levine said.

The right way to get well

Levine pointed to four trends that make up the new meaningful experiences economy: personal growth experiences, creative experiences, community experiences and green experiences. He used examples such as a Toronto hotel with an apiary on top, a Web site that provides a guide to the best graffiti in Berlin and New Zealand’s ad campaign that tells people “if you go to New Zealand for nine days, you’ll get your life back.” He encouraged businesses to create meaningful experiences and to remind Steamboat visitors that they help the community. Businesses should say, “‘Hey, come to Steamboat Springs and you will be helping this many people, you will be helping the economy generate this much money.’ … I think that would be a very powerful message,” Levine said.

businesses can use the trends to build their customer base. “How do we turn these trends into action?” Levine said. “Well, first, incorporate unexpected elements into your experience. Surprise and delight.

Mayors want to delay FasTracks vote THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AROUND COLORADO DENVER

Colorado mayors want to delay a proposal to ask voters for a sales-tax increase to make up for a funding shortfall in the FasTracks project. The Metro Mayors Caucus agreed Wednesday to wait another year to go to vot-

ers because of the impending retirement of Regional Transportation District General Manager Cal Marsella and research showing low voter-turnout during odd-year elections. The group of about 40 mayors considered going to voters

in November because of a $2.2 billion shortfall in FasTracks funding. The project is expected to cost $6.9 billion, but declining sales-tax collections have hurt funding. FasTracks is expected to add six new train lines and extend three existing light-rail lines.

Wyoming tribe selling beef LAKEWOOD

��

The Northern Arapaho Tribe has agreed to sell beef raised on its 595,000 certified organic acres in Wyoming to Whole Foods Market, its first major retail customer. Panorama Meats is partnering with the tribe to offer Angus beef from the tribe’s Arapaho Ranch on the Wind River Reservation to Whole Foods stores in Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas and Utah. The agreement offers the

tribe $1,400 per head for grassfed cattle that haven’t been in feedlots, or about a 25 percent premium to conventional beef, Panorama CEO Mack Graves said Thursday. Northern Arapaho Business Council Chairman Harvey Spoonhunter said the tribe is looking to supply about 2,500 head a year. “It really means a lot, especially in a time of economic downturn,” Spoonhunter said. Thirty to 40 people work on the ranch in summer, and about 20 work there in the winter, he said.

Most are tribal members. The tribe previously sold meat in conventional markets at auction and to smaller, local markets, but Business Council members said working with Panorama and Whole Foods offers longerterm stability and better prices. The deal means Austin, Texasbased Whole Foods gets cattle from a ranch within a seven-hour drive, which it considers to be local. The ranch protects other wildlife including bears and coyotes that roam the same land as the cattle.

Ritter signs education bills Colorado is making it easier for schools to offer teens a chance to earn an associate’s degree while still in high school, a move backers say could help lower the dropout rate and help the state win millions in extra federal stimulus money. Gov. Bill Ritter signed House Bill 1319 into law Ritter along with eight other education bills Thursday at a high school called the Middle College of Denver. It’s one of a half dozen high schools across the state where students take career classes and earn college credit at nearby community colleges.

The program allowing students to take college courses, called concurrent enrollment, will make it easier for students at traditional high schools to earn an associate’s degree before they graduate, mainly by clarifying who pays what. Some school districts already make such programs available, but others have been reluctant because of confusion about whether school districts can pay for college tuition and what happens when a student needs to remain in high school for a fifth year to complete an associate’s degree. Under the new law, students in grades nine through 12 can take an unlimited number of college courses a community college with school districts picking up the tab. Parents and guardians must agree to reimburse the district if the student doesn’t complete a class.

Law requires DNA tests in felony arrests P. Solomon Banda and Steven K. Paulson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

A woman whose daughter was raped and murdered in New Mexico says a new Colorado law requiring anyone arrested for a felony to submit a DNA sample will solve some crimes and prevent others. “This is a happy day, this is a wonderful day,” said Jayann Sepich, who has campaigned across the nation for similar laws. “The true blessing is we will not know the names of the victims who will be saved. We will not know who they are.” Gov. Bill Ritter signed the law Thursday. It’s called Katie’s Law after 22-year-old Katie

Sepich, who was raped and murdered in 2003. Her killer was captured using DNA. Since her death, 21 states have laws requiring DNA samples from some suspects. Ritter, a former Denver district attorney, said hundreds suspects have been arrested and more than 200 wrongfully imprisoned inmates have been set free because of DNA evidence in states that have passed similar laws. Addressing critics who called the bill an invasion of privacy, Attorney General John Suthers said people who have been arrested have been forced to provide their fingerprints for decades. He said convicted felons have been required to provide DNA for years, and

those records have been used only for law-enforcement purposes. Current Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey said his office found that three slayings and 18 sexual assaults, along with a host of other violent felonies, could have been prevented in Denver since 1989 if such testing was allowed. Under Colorado’s new law, DNA will be taken from those arrested for felonies through a cheek swab, by reasonable force if necessary, and then sent to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation for testing and entrance to the state database. Those not charged within 90 days can ask for their DNA records to be removed for the database.

Ritter urged the students, packed into the school cafeteria along with lawmakers and education officials, to tell their siblings and friends about the program, which he said would help keep more students in school. State education officials think it’s the first statewide program of its kind in the nation. “None of this is really about us. This is about you,” Ritter said before sitting down to sign the bills. The other bills aimed at winning an estimated $400 million in stimulus money for school reform include one to set up a statewide system to track the performance of teachers and principals to help close the socalled “teacher gap,” where less experienced teachers tend to work in low-income schools. Another provides more options for overhauling low-performing schools.

Still, he did not provide the level of detail about his plans that lawmakers, including Democrats, demanded in a 90-6 Senate vote denying money for the shutdown Wednesday. Cheney, in his own speech, denounced some of Obama’s actions since taking office as “unwise in the extreme” and “recklessness cloaked in righteousness,” repeating his contention from a series of headlinegrabbing appearances recently that the new president is endangering the country by turning aside Bush-era policies. The former vice president, a primary architect of the Bush approach, accused Obama of looking for “a political strategy, not a national security strategy.”

UAW reaches deal with GM, government

828 Lincoln Ave

President Barack Obama fought Thursday to retake command of the emotional debate regarding closing Guantanamo, denouncing “fear-mongering” by political opponents and insisting that maximum-security prisons in the U.S. can safely house dangerous terrorism suspects transferred from Cuba. In a unique bit of Washington theater, Obama made his case moments before former Vice President Dick Cheney delivered his own address defending the Bush administration’s creation of the prison camp as vigorously as the new president denounced it. Obama, appearing at the

National Archives with its immensely symbolic backdrop of the nation’s founding documents, said shutting down Guantanamo would Obama “enlist our values” to make America safer. Speaking a day after an overwhelming congressional rebuke to his pledge to close the prison, he forcefully declared the camp a hindrance — not a help — to preventing future terrorist attacks. He contends that the prison, which has held hundreds of detainees for years without charges or trials, motivates U.S. enemies overseas. The president promised to work with lawmakers to develop “an appropriate legal regime”

The United Auto Workers union has agreed on a tentative deal with the government and General Motors that would cut labor costs, close factories and change the way a union-run trust for retiree health care is funded. The move is a key step toward efforts to restructure outside of bankruptcy court, but GM still needs bondholders who hold $27 billion in unsecured debt to accept

equity in the company in place of the $27 billion they’re owed. Analysts have said it is nearly impossible that the required 90 percent of bondholders will agree to the offer. GM, which has received $15.4 billion in federal loans, faces a June 1 government-imposed deadline to restructure or be forced into bankruptcy protection. The union announced its deal in a short statement Thursday, but the details were withheld pending meetings with members to explain the terms. Union members still

��

have to vote on their deal, and plant-level union officials have been summoned to Detroit on Tuesday to hear details. The UAW statement made no mention of factory closures or production of vehicles outside the U.S., items that the union has protested in Detroit and Washington as the deadline approaches. But a person briefed on the deal said Thursday that it includes an agreement on the factories. The person requested anonymity because union members have not been told details.

French wary of Internet law

��

Users fight proposal to cut connection for music, film pirates

� � � ��

A thousand French Internet users a day could be taken offline after approval of President Nicolas Sarkozy’s pet project — an unprecedented law to cut the Internet connections of people who repeatedly pirate music and movies. As the husband of supermodelturned-pop star Carla Bruni and Sarkozy friend to some of France’s most powerful media figures, Sarkozy long has basked in his cozy ties with the entertainment industry, which has embraced the measure. But many in Europe have denounced it, saying government controls needed to enforce the law could open the way for inva-

ware that would enable authorities to track down and identify those suspected of illegal downloads, but some experts say such programs do not yet exist. And because it denies accused pirates the chance to defend themselves before their Web connections are severed, legal experts say it will not stand up in court. The measure’s first shortterm test came Tuesday, when the opposition Socialists took their objections before the Constitutional Council, which has a month to issue a ruling. If the council decides the law does not violate the constitution, it could take effect by summer. It calls for graduated reprisals against alleged offenders. If a suspected pirate fails to heed e-mail warnings and a certified letter, Internet access would be cut for two months to a year — with the subscriber required to keep paying for the service under the contract’s terms.

Predictably, music, film and other industry groups have welcomed the measure. John Kennedy, chairman and CEO of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, said Wednesday that it represents a “sea change.” Critics, however, worry about civil liberties. “We should be careful about interfering with the freedom of exchange of information,” said Wolfgang Zankl, professor at the University of Vienna and president of the European Center for E-Commerce. “This is a constitutional right which no one should be barred from.” Some Internet experts say the law will be technically impossible to apply.

Stocks pounded by worries about jobs, UK debt NEW YORK

Another bad signal from the job market and concern about a possible downgrade of British government debt sent stocks sharply lower Thursday. Major stock indicators slid more than 1.5 percent, cutting nearly 130 points off the Dow Jones industrial average, after continuing claims for unemployment benefits set their 16th straight weekly record.

The report added to recent anxiety that the market may have moved too high too quickly on early signs of recovery in the economy. Despite a pullback this week, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index still is up more than 30 percent from its 12-year lows in early March. Investors also were worrying about how well governments can keep up with public spending to stimulate their economies after Standard & Poor’s said Britain may have its rating cut because of increasing debt levels. That

would raise the cost of borrowing for the British government, which is taking a big role in bailing out that country’s stricken banking system. Even with governments pumping huge amounts of money into economies throughout the world there still are questions about how soon a rebound might take hold. In the U.S., home prices still are sliding, and unemployment remains at a 25-year high. “It raises questions about our own situation in terms of our deficits and our national debt,”

said Alan Skrainka, chief market strategist at Edward Jones, of the S&P report. “There are limits to how high you can take these numbers longer term.” The report weighed on bond prices. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note jumped to 3.36 percent from 3.19 percent late Wednesday. The market did pull off its earlier lows in late afternoon trading, boosted in part by a huge spike in General Motors shares, which jumped more than 15 percent in the last hour

of trading. GM rose after it agreed with the United Auto Workers to a tentative deal on concessions. The move is a key step toward GM’s efforts to restructure outside of bankruptcy court. According to preliminary calculations, the Dow declined 129.91, or 1.5 percent, to 8,292.13, after earlier declining as much as 201 points. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index declined 15.14, or 1.7 percent, to 888.33, and the Nasdaq composite index declined 32.59, or 1.9 percent, to 1,695.25.

Nuggets drain Lakers, 106-103 Beth Harris

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES

The Lakers’ 24-year playoff dominance of the Denver Nuggets dissipated during the final 29 seconds of the fourth quarter. That’s when Kenyon Martin hit a layup in traffic, and Chauncey Billups made 3 of 4 free throws to give Denver a 106-103 victory in Game 2 on Thursday night to even the Western Conference finals. It was Denver’s first playoff win against Los Angeles, which owned an 11-0 record dating to 1985, the second-longest postseason winning streak against one team in NBA history. Carmelo Anthony had 34 points and 14 rebounds, Billups had 27 points and 16 rebounds, and Linas Kleiza added 16 points for the Nuggets. Nene finished with six points, nine rebounds and six assists. Kobe Bryant had 32 points, including making all 10 of his free throws, Trevor Ariza scored a career playoff-high 20 points and Pau Gasol had 17 points and 17 rebounds for the Lakers, who dropped to 7-2 at Staples Center in the playoffs this season. “To get one on the road is always tough. We came in and got it,” Anthony said. “We’re mentally tough, and we showed that in this game coming off the loss that we gave away in Game 1.” Game 3 is Saturday in Denver. “I think this is going to be a long series,” Denver coach George Karl said. The Nuggets recovered from poor free throw shooting in a two-point loss in Game 1 to make 17 consecutive foul shots until Billups missed one with 4 seconds remaining. He hit the second to seal the victory. Derek Fisher launched a 3pointer from the right corner that missed as time expired. Tied at 101, Martin made the layup off Nene’s assist that gave the Nuggets the lead for good.

Austin Hinder names top 3 schools Nationally touted quarterback plans to make decision in next month Luke Graham

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The recruiting circus that has surrounded Steamboat Springs High School junior quarterback Austin Hinder could be coming to a close. After months of a who’swho of college football coaches showing up at the high school,

trying to convince Hinder to play for them, the quarterback rated No. 2 overall on www. rivals.com said he plans on making his decision in the next month. Hinder confirmed Thursday he has a top three of the University of CaliforniaBerkeley, UCLA and the University of Notre Dame, with the Berkeley program being the

early favorite. “I’m pretty hefty on Cal,” Hinder said after working out with teammates. “I’m loving Cal. They have everything I could ask for in a program.

The Steamboat Springs Youth Soccer Association kicked off its club season during the weekend with the Grand Mesa Invitational Tournament in Grand Junction. Steamboat took 12 teams in age groups ranging from 9- to 14-years-old. The U-14 and U-11 girls teams won, as did the U-12 boys team.

“That tournament is really basically the start to the majority of our club teams’ seasons,” said Rob Bohlmann, director of coaching and player development for the SSYSA. “Just with the weather, a lot of teams don’t play in a spring league. The Grand Mesa kicks off some competitive events for our teams.” Although most of the teams have the next couple of weekends off, Bohlmann said they all will be playing at various

Seniors Hanna Berglund and Mandi DeVos and junior Emi Birch were named to the first team. Courtney Garth, Shelby Struble and Joanie Bier were named honorable mention. “For sure, we felt good that we saw the numbers that we did,” said Bohlmann, who also coaches the girls high school team. “In our situation, we’d fight for more, but there is only a certain amount of spots that go around. We were in a fortunate situation that we had a lot of depth and a lot of those good playing personalities.”

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

For most of the year, the trails inside the Marabou Ranch preservation subdivision near Steamboat Springs are off limits to local mountain bikers. But through June 9, Marabou is inviting local bikers to come explore the subdivision’s 23-mile rolling trail system. Marabou spokesperson John Hillenbrand is hoping the offer will give local cyclists a place to ride while the valley continues to dry out. “We really wanted to offer local riders more opportunities while the snow is still melting,” Hillenbrand said. “We’ve got a lot of trails out here, and they are ready to go.” The trail system winds through the subdivision and consists of mostly single-track trails. “It makes for a pretty good cross-country course,” Hillenbrand said. “It’s filled with lots of rolling hills and great views. It is a great place to ride while some of the more challenging trails in

SPORTS BRIEFS the area are still too wet to ride.” Hillenbrand said mountain bikers should call 879-0507 in advance of their visit, and they will need to stop by the Outfitter’s Cabin to fill out the proper waiver forms before riding the trails. “We just need to know when people are out here and that they have filled out the proper paperwork,” Hillenbrand said. This is the second year that the homeowners association at Marabou has allowed the public to use the trail system. Hillenbrand said the decision is made year to year but that he hopes that it is something that will continue into the future. Marabou also is scheduled to host a Town Challenge Mountain Bike race June 10.

Swimmer wraps up career at Northeastern University Former Steamboat Springs High School swimmer

Heather Whiting recently wrapped up her senior season with the Northeastern University team in Boston. Whiting, who was team captain, finished sixth in the 100-meter and 15th in the 200-meter breaststroke events and was a member of the 400-meter medley relay team. Northeastern finished the season 7-6 and placed eighth at the Colonial Athletic Association Championships. Whiting currently holds two school records as part of Northeastern University relay teams. She was part of the 200-meter relay team that also included Alexandra Doty, Kathrine Fugge and Kara Lane, which set the mark at 1 minute, 44.52 seconds. The same team also holds the school record in the 400-meter relay. Before she arrived at Northeastern, Whiting lettered in the breaststroke at Steamboat Springs High School.

Schools fit criteria Hinder requires Hinder continued from 33 American Combine’s No. 1 quarterback, holds 14 scholarship offers, is ranked the No. 84 overall prospect by rivals.com and is listed at No. 34 by MaxPreps and recruiting guru Tom Lemming. During the weekend, he attended an Elite 11 camp at Cal, and Stanford University’s junior day. Just in the past few weeks, coaches from the University of Alabama, University of Nebraska, Colorado State University, University of Colorado, Cal, UCLA, University of Southern California, Louisiana State University, Notre Dame, Un-

iversity of Kansas and Kansas State University have all trekked to Steamboat to see him. Hinder said he was close to comHinder mitting to Cal during the weekend but wanted to take a few more weeks to make sure he is making the right decision. He said his top three schools all fit the criteria he’s looking for at the next level. “It came down to the three things I wanted to pick in a school — education, coaching staff and location,” he said. “All

those have places I’d like to live, amazing coaches and great academics.” Hinder previously said he was going to ride out the recruiting process, even waiting until the end of his senior year to make a choice. But he admitted the process has been grueling at times, and now he has a better judgment of where he’d like to play. With his recruitment being on the front burner for so long, Hinder said narrowing down his college choices has allowed him to now look at his main goal. “I’m focused on winning a state championship,” he said. “That, right now, is my main focus.”

Aaron Cook kept throwing sinkers, and his infielders kept making plays. Cook pitched a four-hitter, and Todd Helton’s grand slam ended Colorado’s power slump as the Rockies beat the Atlanta Braves, 9-0, on Thursday night. Cook (3-1) retired the final 16 batters for his second career shutout. He had 20 groundouts and did not allow a baserunner to advance past second for his first win in eight career starts against Atlanta. “I didn’t need to show up today,” said Rockies catcher Chris Iannetta about his easy task of calling pitches for Cook. “The choice was between a sinker and a sinker. ... It was the best sinker I’ve seen this year.” Jeff Francoeur singled with two outs in the fourth and then Cook retired everyone else. The only other hits that Cook gave up were a single to Chipper Jones in the first and back-toback singles by Francoeur and Jordan Schafer in the second. “When he’s got that sinker with

that late movement, it’s every bit as good as it gets in this game,” said Braves catcher Brian McCann. “He baited us and made us swing at tough pitches.” Colorado second baseman Clint Barmes had 10 assists. “I was cheering for the guys making the plays,” said Cook about his infielders. “I was throwing strikes, keeping the ball down. ... I always take a lot of pride in our defense.” The Rockies had gone four games — and 46 innings — without a homer before Helton’s shot in the fourth inning. Before that mini-drought, the Rockies had not had as many as two straight games without a homer this season. The Rockies posted only their second shutout of the season. The only other one was a 3-0 victory against Arizona in the second game of the season. Helton had three hits and drove in five runs as the Rockies spoiled Kris Medlen’s major league debut. Medlen (0-1) gave up five runs

Kayak continued from 33 Competitors first will race on Fish Creek, starting at 10 a.m. The action at Charlie’s Hole will start at 1 p.m. Each paddler will get a crack at laying out tricks in Steamboat’s signature boating feature. This year’s competition will feature a new scoring system. Last year, a panel of judges awarded one point for a trick and allocated other points based on quality and variety. This year, the judges will follow a more widely accepted standard, wherein different amounts of points are awarded for different tricks. “It’s a better way and more accurately gives points based

on what they do out there,” freestyle supervisor Dan Piano said. Organizers hope Monday’s event fits in with what is a wild few weeks in Colorado for the kayaking world. It comes just after a big event at Buena Vista and before major competitions in Glenwood Springs and Vail. Some regulars, however, say it’s more than just the event’s conveniences that make it a must-attend every spring. “With the creek racing in the morning and the freestyle in the afternoon, it’s just an action-packed day,” said Ruth Gordon, who has been a staple on the women’s podium. “It’s an awesome test of athletic ability. It really covers the

in three innings. He left after facing four batters in the fourth. The Rockies recovered after losing games Tuesday and Wednesday by the combined score of 20-5. “We definitely needed this one, no doubt about that, especially after the way we got beat last night,” Helton said about the Braves’ 12-4 win Wednesday night. Helton, who opened the series with his 2000th career hit Tuesday night, helped give the Rockies a split of the four games with another memorable game. He enjoyed his 10th career game with five RBIs while hitting his fifth career grand slam, his first since Sept. 10, 2006 against Washington. The 23-year-old Medlen earned his promotion by posting a 5-0 record with a 1.19 in eight games with Triple-A Gwinnett near Atlanta. His major league debut included two wild pitches, a hit batter, a balk and five walks — all while recording only nine outs.

gauntlet as far as kayaking is concerned.”

Offering to help out Gordon’s stay in Steamboat won’t end with Monday’s competition. She will hit the river again Tuesday, this time trying to pass out tips rather than one-up her opponents. Gordon started the Paddle Pink program this spring to help raise money for breast cancer research. Gordon’s grandmother survived a bout with breast cancer and inspired her to try to raise awareness. “Basically, it’s a great way for me to get to meet paddling communities and a great way for me to collect donations for breast cancer funding,” the 32-year-old Canadian pro said. The event will start at 5 p.m. Tuesday at Backdoor Sports in downtown Steamboat Springs. With a donation, boaters with at least some experience can get into the water with Gordon and soak up two hours worth of her advice. “My specialty is freestyle kayaking, so if I can impart my knowledge or answer questions, that’s great,” she said. “It’s kind of a grass-roots idea at this point, but it’s something I can already see getting much bigger quickly.” — To reach Joel Reichenberger, call 871-4253 or e-mail jreichenberger@steamboatpilot.com

Mecklenburg said. “He turned to me and said, ‘Karl, I’m jealous,’ then he followed that up in not five seconds by saying ‘I can’t quit. I’ve gotta win a Super Bowl.’” Elway was a true leader for whom the team was the most important thing, Mecklenburg said. Mecklenburg had lost three Super Bowls alongside Elway. But three seasons later, the Broncos won the Super Bowl. The next year, they won again. “It happened because John had that passion,” Mecklenburg said. The athlete explained to the audience that they must dream big and follow their passions to succeed. Hard work is important, but having passion is crucial, Mecklenburg said. His six keys to success are teamwork, courage, dedication, desire, goal setting, and honesty and forgiveness.

Daniel Levine offered his insights in the morning, and David Monahan, a co-founder of Sprig Toys, spoke during lunch. Monahan sprinkled his speech with advice, cautionary tales and dry humor that had the audience laughing with surprise. Sprig makes toys that are battery-free, environmentally friendly and powered by the children who use them. The company manufactures all its toys in North America. It hit $2 million in sales last year and expects to hit $6 million this year, Monahan said. Monahan originally wasn’t supposed to talk. The scheduled speaker, Craig Storey, couldn’t make it to the summit. “Craig and I always argue about who’s more boring,” Monahan said. “He’s an accountant, and I have a Ph.D. in engineering, so you know.” Sprig’s challenges have included a supplier that went out of business and retailers cutting back on inventory.
