so a helicopter could be used to stop up the gas-ex avalanche mitigation system sitting above the seven sisters avalanche chutes. >> we're doing stop routine maintenance to get it into shape so that we can use it this winter. >> reporter: the gas-ex system was constructed on loveland pass last year using a combination of oxygen and propane. it forces a reaction that causes avalanches. >> push out snow in certain controlled avalanche situation. >> reporter: the system replaces artillery fired into the mountain and was used a lot last winter for controlled avalanche mitigation. >> a lot of benefit in terms of increased safety for those that were operating the equipment and in terms of how quickly we could respond to possible avalanche situations. >> reporter: so this year the tanks are being taken off the hill where they can be filled up. >> later in september we'll

them. >> reporter: and put back before winter. >> here they come slowly. >> reporter: which certainly delayed tom's loveland pass trip today. >> about 2:00 we'll led up to loveland pass. >> reporter: but -- head up to loveland pass. >> reporter: but also gave him something different in the mountains to take some pictures of. >> i originally almost went to pikes peak. you wouldn't have seen this on pikes pass. this is a pretty cool show. >> reporter: matt renoux, 9news mountain newsroom. >> good to have berthoud pass where the second gasex system is located, delays along highway 40 from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. the month the springs pool in ouray will be closed until may while the city completes renovations. the 89-year-old pool will close september 6th for the first part of a $10.6 million renovation. the first phase of the project is scheduled to keep the pool closed until memorial day next

there, hopefully nothing too serious. >> we see people on bikes right now around there and we tend to forget sometimes when we're hustling and bustling and school is back in session. a lot of kids are taking a bike. we don't know if this involves a young person and just beautiful weather saying hey, let me hit the bike instead of get in the car. it looks like officers are talktofolks and gathering information. we'll continue to follow it. volunteers from the community association's institute of colorado are joining they're answering your questions about hoas. everybody has a question about this. most of us don't read the whole hoa and all the rules and regulations and sometimes we don't understand what they're saying. so let's learn a little bit about code enforcement, regulations, general questions. you can call them right now 303- 698-0999. the lines are open until 5:30 tonight. it is not easy reading if you're staying up unless you have insomnia or something to get through all the codes.

the dow fell 48 points, s&p lost 4, nasdaq took a hit as well losing 9. tech stocks took a big hit because of news about apple. speaking of apple is looking at a bill for 14.5 billion, yes, billion with a b, in back taxes to ireland. today a european union court ruled that apple worked out a deal that involved getting illegal tax cuts from creating jobs. apple ceo tim cook said the any special treatment. the u.s. treasury department says it's disappointed and troubled by the ruling. last week the treasury department accused the eu of using a different set of criteria to judge cases involving american companies. cook says apple will appeal the decision. >> we're being joined now with scott yates and i think it's difficult to envision how much money that actually is, not only for a big company like

>> the entire state of colorado budget is 30 billion. so this would fund the entire state government for about six months. i added it up. if everybody in mile high stadium had to pay the tax, it woulding about $189,000 per person. it's a lot of money. >> this is -- it would be about $189,000 per person. it's a lot of money. >> this is an exploding issue. it sounds like apple creates a company on paper to bring jobs to the region and ireland put most of your money here. pay us this much and we'll be good. >> this deal goes back to 1991. in those days apple was not the big player. they were a footnote compared to microsoft or ibm and those guys, but they've said this is the environment we want to work in. ireland said we want you to work in this environment. there are about 5,000 people that work for apple now in ireland. those guys are paying income

>> for those of us here saying why does this even matter, it's about innovation, right? >> nothing will happen right away. there's a new iphone coming out in a couple weeks. it won't get jacked up. apple has the money to pay it because they're so profitable now, but it's kind of the principle of the thing. they said this is the environment we've come up in and a lot of other companies have followed suit, face, google, amazon. about 700 companies have a presence sort of similar to apple's in ireland. the question to me is what are the companies we're talking about 20 years from now that we don't even know their names yet, but those guys are trying to find a stable kind of environment like this and yesterday they had one and today it's a big question mark. >> why is it now the eu is kind of cracking down? we've seen google and facebook. people have kind of exposethe

apple has so much money it e th we can solve some of our other problems, but ireland who would get the problems said we don't want it. we wouldn't take it if you collected it because we like this kind of business environment. we want to foster that. >> apple will fight this and it's roughly 6% of their total cash and investments, but a drop in the bucket for that must be nice. >> does that mean at the store we're going to stand in line a little longer? they're so busy all the time. it's easily profitable. >> but that environment came out of having that deal that they struck all those years ago. >> that little creation that they needed. >> would we have the apple store, the ipod, iphone, itunes? all of that has come out of this. >> they'll argue with that

>> really good jobs and those guys are eating out, buying new cars, houses. it all helps. >> i'm glad scott understands it because for most of us it's like way over our heads. >> i think people will be kind of relieved to know it's not going to make your iphone more expensive or anything like that. >> plenty of people are waiting for the new one already. >> september 7th. >> thank you. daylight is it again? not that you're counting, but there we go. >> thank you. if you have a dog at home, they could be hanging onto your every single word. >> next why researchers think dogs can understand us. they can. they've been trying to tell us

more than 5 million americans are living with alzheimer's, the sixth leading cause of death in the united

of the most impacted. the alzheimer's association says researchers have found people in the hispanic community are about 1.5 times more likely to develop the disease than caucasian people which considering the size of the hispanic community in colorado will have a big impact here. >> we know that we'll 600% increase of aging latinos by 2050 and here in denver, colorado, latinos will be the majority ethnic group. for this reason the alzheimer's association latinos living with alzheimer's disease. >> the alzheimer's association of colorado led a panel today answering questions about caregivers and treating the disease as well as promoting the upcoming walk end alzheimer's which has events in several cities across colorado. alzheimer's typically begins with memory problems, forgetfulness, motor skills and

body's functions. as we close out the month of august, some of the back to school jitters are turning into full on stress for students of all ages. tomorrow morning children's of colorado will be holding a summit on how to talk to your students about stress and how to help them cope. anyone is welcome at the 10:00 discussion at the atrium at children's colora tweet in your questions using the #stressaskus. makes perfect sense, there's a lots going on, a lot more than when many of us were children i think. >> you know when you lock your eyes with your dog and it just stares at you, it kind of knows when you're saying. apparently it does. >> i think they look into your hearts. now there is specific research that pooches can actually understand the meaning

>> reporter: dogs have many ways of telling us how they're feeling from happy to not so happy, maybe even a little embarrassed sometimes. now there's evidence dogs can understand humans, too. researchers in hungary trained dogs to sit very still in a functional mri scanner. trainers then spoke words both familiar and unfamiliar to the dogs in various ways. in a sing song good boy voice, then in a neutral tone good boy. brain scans showed the dogs processed those words correctly regardless of the tone and how they sounded meaning they understood the meaning of the words. how? the dog starts to understand the words good boy are a good thing when they're said in a positive tone. so even if our furry friends sometimes have selective hearing -- >> sit down. hey, sit. >> reporter: eventually they

>> reporter: erica edwards, nbc news. >> researchers say while dogs process words in much the same way humans do, we're unique in our ability to use them. kind of cool. if you're walking your dog tonight, might need a rain jacket. >> for both you and the pooch or an umbrella. unless you love the smell of wet dog. it's okay. he'll dry out. we won't get much of a cooldown.

estimate so we're really, really -- so we're really, really salad right now and you -- sad right now and you can't see why. apparently a burr was in front of a camera -- a bird was in front of a camera and just took off. >> the bird wanted to make sure

if you aren't feeling like your feathers are looking their best, you aren't hanging out on the camera for a while. >> the bird kind of a diva unlike meteorologist belen deleon. >> our producer in my ear right before we go on goes there's a bird, so i start going like this. she didn't say where the bird was. okay. it's not in the backyard and it's not in that screen obviously. it doesn't want to come out and say hi. i've got some other great live cameras to share with you now. gods live camera. you can see all the clouds and the snow on top of pikes peak. here's another webcam from sterling where you can see those tall cumulus clouds that have been causing stop rain in that area of colorado. here in the metro area we have that mix of clouds and sun and we could see a small chance for showers in our forecast through this afternoon and early this evening. our high for today got to 82 degrees out at dia.

that. the record is 98 set in 1990, no record breaking temperatures today. out here in the backyard it is just a pleasant afternoon, our temperatures 80 degrees currently in our 9news backyard. out in the elements, now you'll be out there at coors field and our rockies take on the dodgers. they're in town. there is a small chance for some showers in the early evenings with temperatures in the 70s. then later later innings we'll have those clouds just kind of sticking around, but the chance for rain is expected to decrease by the end of the game. the temperatures are expected to be in the 60s. you might want a light jacket. 79 at dia and the humidity out there is at 31%. so that might have something to do with the reason why our storms, once they try and make their way into the city, they really don't hold well together. the storms are kind of going around the metro area right now. the temperatures in northern

goes on the plains, 50s and 60s in the mountains and the western slope currently has 87 degrees. so through this afternoon we'll hang onto the clouds. temperatures will be in the 70s. there's a small chance for showers closer to 7 or 8 p.m. tonight temperatures will drop to 53 degrees. we'll have a chance for light evening showers, then mostly cloudy skies and some areas of fog developing especially out on the eastern plains. here's what's happening. we do have this area of high pressure, this uppe developed over the western half of the u.s. this is why our temperatures continue to be a little on the warm side, but still all that subtropical moisture continues to work its way into the central part of the country. this is why we continue to see the chance for storms especially in the afternoon hours. doppler 9 shows that rain right now and where it sits is in the foothills also to the south and on the eastern plains and in northeast colorado. the very weak disturbance that was yesterday over parts of the

way onto the front range. now we're seeing this counterclockwise flow that is spinning the storms around the metro area in the foothills and the eastern plains. that flash flood warning that we had in effect earlier for cheyenne county has expired, but we continue to see lots of rain out there with lightning. the lightning count in the state in the past half hour, about 80 strikes in colorado. you'll notice most of the storms right now are pretty much focused on the front range and not in the eastern plains. of the afternoon. watch what happens as we continue to see a few showers in the mountains through 7 p.m. about the storms out on the eastern plains and south of the metro area. we'll have clouds in the city and some of those storms closer to the foothills through 10 p.m. overnight we hang onto those clouds and through tomorrow morning some light rain possible for our friends on the eastern plains and also a possibility of low visibility along i-70 and i-76 where i think we have a good chance of

drop to the 50s in some spots cooler because of the clear skies. the temperatures along i-25 mainly mid- to upper 50s and closer to the foothills 40s, 30s in some of our mountain valleys for the overnight lows. it's just that time of year. 79 will be our high for tomorrow. we're hovering in the upper 70s, low 80s tomorrow with partly cloudy skies and a chance for again some storms in currently under continue to shift east through the rest of the week. that will allow for our temperatures to warm even more heading into the holiday weekend. so we know it is summer, but the temperatures have been a little on the cool side in the low 80s. we're going to jump into the mid- to upper 80s by the end of the week. tomorrow we'll have a small chance for some storms, partly cloudy skies, a high of 79 degrees. thursday the chance for a storm stays mainly in the foothills and mountains, 84.

isolated storm or two, saturday 87 and on sunday the high of 88 degrees as we start off that holiday weekend. the rocky mountain showdown is happening this friday. we're gearing up for it. around 6:00 there is a chance for a storm or two. around 8:00 we're hoping that the storms start to clear up temperatures at that time 704 and by 10 p.m. temperatures -- 74 and by 10 p.m. temperatures at 69. we're keeping a very close eye on that forecast. let me take extended out more. we want to show you monday because that's labor day. we're expecting our temperatures to drop a tad more, highs in the 80s. as of now it's looking like a dry day, but 80s on labor day. that's looking really nice. again so much happening this weekend. we have the taste of colorado. we have the rocky mountain showdown and, of course, labor day, which is on monday. so we hope everybody enjoys it. >> the health and wellness expo, too. >> of course.

my goodness. the list goes on and on. >> it's a great weekend. >> we're all focusing on the weekend already. >> hey, it's tuesday. we're practically to wednesday. once we're on wednesday. >> we can see the weekend already. >> we only have half the normal mental capacity focused on anything going on during the week. it's just the way it is. >> i love your way of seeing things, kim. a program at michigan state university is turning storm debris into designs. >> this is through parts of michigan. 21 large mature trees were taken down on the campus. some were over 200 years old. instead of just mulching the trees, students and teachers came up with a program called msu shadows. dreams lost on campus either from disease or disaster were repurposed to make one of a kind furniture pieces or other useful items, all of them works of art. >> when we lose a tree, it's very significant and they mean a lot to a lot of people.

with the msu shadows collection with producing something that people could actually hold and take home with them. >> that's awesome. the program is still very new, but organizers say they hope future generations will carry it on, beautiful work. >> you can say that was the tree i sat under when i was a young child. we lost it. it's important. fans around the world are still reacting to the death of actor and comedian gene wilder. >> next one of his most well

? there is no life i know to compare with pure imagination ? ? oh, he was one of the most legendary talents of our time. it was announced yesterday that actor and comedian gene wilder died from complications of alzheimer's disease. he was 83 years old. he was known as young frankenstein and the role out of blazing saddles, but, of course, it was that iconic role

and the chocolate factory that most of us will think of. >> i am one of those people. denise nickerson joins us now. you played the famous violet beauregard. >> cool it, mother. >> hi, cornelia. >> i bet you chewed a lot of gum back in those days. >> i sure did. >> how tough have these past few days been for you? ill. he didn't look well in the last photo i had seen of him and there's a part of me that says, you know, you really don't want someone to be here just to be here for your own selfishness. if they aren't comfortable and he was very comfortable. his wife was with him of 25 years and his nephew had said

kindheartedness, that tender heart that he had. >> yeah. >> perhaps some memories weren't all clear, but that that tender heart always showed through. >> wow. >> well, you were kind enough to share some of the things that gene gave you. >> that is one of my most prized possessions. >> that he signed this and wrote this to you. >> he signed for dear denise, love gene. that is signed for me. >> for is another one that all of us signed, all of the old -- we're not kids anymore. so whatever and gene, of course, is up at the top. i don't have a lot of pictures of me and gene together because we didn't really have a lot of scenes close together. >> sure. >> however, he was so patient with us as maniacs.

>> and having this responsibility of creating this character from pieces of paper. i mean he created willy wonka. >> yeah. >> i don't know. i can't see. i love johnny depp. i think he's fantastic, but unfortunately willy wonka to me is always going to be gene wilder. >> i think most people would agree. >> all the little nuances, the way he he did things, it was just all of that was him. yes, it was just amazing. >> i think people -- and me in particular, i watch this movie and we think it's a beautiful movie yet so odd and so different. that's what makes it so memorable. what was it like? you said you spent six weeks on the set. >> six weeks on the set. a lot of us kids took over, you

had been converted into a hotel, so that was fun because we'd go downstairs in our pajamas. we only had three tv stations there all in german. so we just kind of hung out together at night and i brought the phonograph it was called in those days and so we played the paul mccartney and david cassady i think i love you. everybody usually hung out in my room at night because i at least had music, but to be thing created, there is a picture that got posted last night of mine of gene eating at julie's 13th birthday party which was a huge deal. all the crew showed up. gene, all the cast, all the crew and her mother came in from london which in those days

that's how close it was. it was just like hanging out with the good part of the family. >> and magical, though. >> yeah. >> it has transcended generations. >> that is what we have so much fun with. >> because we're looking at your earrings. >> everlasting gobstopp you have to show those off. that is so cool. >> the works 3 and the 4 -- the 2, 3 come up to us at a convention and recite lines from the film and then you get the 70-year- olds and they say i remember bringing my daughter to see this movie and that's what mel stewart was very instrumental in creating. he was the director. we lost him about two years ago. he wanted everything to be generic so that you couldn't tell where it was filmed.

so gorgeous because he wanted them to just be timeless and they were, thank god. they buried my pilgrim shoes someplace. i don't know where. >> unfortunately we do have to wrap here in a second, but i you was it hard to be in that blueberrylike costume? >> absolutely horrible because everyone went to lunch and i couldn't get out of it, took an hour and a half for me to get in. so me named hands who didn't speak a -- hans who didn't speak a word of english, only german, to roll me every five minutes, so i would hang like this and drink a milkshake and then hang like this. the best part i come back from there, last scene i did i was sitting in school. everybody is laughing and my best friend looks at me and she goes you're blue. they had put food dye in the makeup, so my neck, my ears, my

were turning blue. >> oh, my gosh. >> lasting impact of chewing that gum that they told you not to chew. >> you know what i learned from it? never do what you're told not to do. >> perfect lesson. >> perfect motto to the movie. good things happen to good people. bad things happen to bad people. >> we have to go to break do. you want to say good-bye to
