Steamboat Springs city worker Levi Wisecup uses a powerful saw to cut the sidewalk near Third Street and Lincoln Avenue on Monday. The city is considering cuts to its capital improvement budget that could limit projects this summer.

Without the issuance of new debt this year, projections show the city’s URA running out of design and construction money by June. A $16 million bond measure would allow the construction of a promenade around the immediate ski base and other large projects to be completed in time for the start of the 2011-12 ski season.

and property tax increments within its base-area boundaries, but its debt also is backed by the city to achieve lower interest rates. A bond measure as large as $16 million also could require the city to commit reserves to back a portion of the offering. City Council President Loui Antonucci said Monday that a $16 million bond measure is “scary.” “I don’t ever want to put the city in the position of not being able to pay its debt,” he said.

However, Antonucci said he could be supportive of an $11.2 million financing option. A bond measure that size still would allow for the construction of the promenade and a rerouting of Burgess Creek through the ski base. Perks such as the snowmelt system, a major fountain at Gondola Square and a boulder play area in the creek would have to be eliminated. However, each could be constructed at a later date if new

Celebrating indie record stores

Rinn Chiropractic Center

Hey Jude, you’ve got to hide your vinyl record away

The right way to get well

andy Staggs stopped into All That Jazz on Saturday and dropped off a big box stuffed with vinyl record albums. Just about then, Trevor Potter strummed G, C and D chords in succession on his acoustic guitar and broke into a mellow version of “You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away” by the Beatles. I experienced an immediate flashback to 1965. By coincidence, my little collections of Beatles 45 rpm vinyl records, still in their original sleeves, is on display in our dining room this month. I originally purchased them at Victor Music in the Hilldale Shopping Center in Madison, Wis. I’m pretty sure I paid 69 cents for each two-sided record. And because my weekly allowance was $1, I could afford to buy singles like “Hang on Sloopy,” by the McCoys, “Turn, Turn, Turn,” by the Byrds, and “Keep on Dancin’,” by the Gentry’s. It was Independent Record Store Day all across the U.S. and Europe on Saturday. Joe Kboudi, who has been sell-

His store at 601 Lincoln Ave. hosted a series of seven live performances by local musicians Matt Hires, Potter, Paul Gephart and Bob Schaeffer, Lianne Mosser and Neil Marchman, Sam Ayer, Todd Musselman and Missed the Boat. It’s no secret that independent record stores are fighting for survival here and abroad. Some media reports suggest the number of stores has been halved to 1,000 since 2004. Kboudi is a savvy retailer who was able to expand his store last year because he has done such a good job of diversifying his merchandise to include clothing and gifts.

artists, including Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. His store is an experience you want to return to. As a youngster, Kboudi purchased most of his records from Silvey Music, just a few blocks away from his parents’ home in San Antonio, Texas. “We used to go into a little listening room and listen to vinyl records for hours,” Kboudi recalled. You don’t have to hide the fact from Joe that you frequently download music to an iPod. In fact, many independent record stores were offering their customers free downloads from their Web pages during the weekend. The Coalition of Independent Music Stores even is preparing to launch its own Web-based download site, thinkindie.com. Independent stores will link to thinkindie.com from their own Web pages and receive a revenue stream when their own customers go there to purchase music. Times were good in 1965.

Millions of dollars in stimulus money is coming to Routt County’s forests, but local loggers don’t know if they’ll see any of it. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act gave $2.2 million to the Routt National Forest to remove beetle-killed trees in Routt, Jackson and Grand counties, according to a news release. The money represents the first 10 percent of stimulus-funded projects. The tree-removal contracts went to companies in California and Florida, upsetting some local loggers. The U.S. Forest Service had only seven days to award the contracts, said Diann Ritschard, spokeswoman for the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests & Thunder Basin National Grassland.

HAYDEN

Hayden’s Home Rule Charter Commission took a stab at several key issues Monday, including shedding more light on the town’s budgeting of money, transferring money into and out of enterprise funds, and securing water rights. The discussions were the beginning of a process expected to lead to the drafting of a homerule charter that would govern the town if approved by trustees and the public. The nine-member commission met for about an hour Monday, although only five of its members attended. They were Vice Chairman Bill Irvine, Gordon Dowling, James Folley, James Lewis and Bryan Strickland. Town Trustee Tom Rogalski also listened in, and Town Manager Russ Martin led the discussion. One of Martin’s priorities for the meeting was figuring out how to shed more light on the budget process. As it stands, the town can move money between departments without the Board of Trustees’ OK, as long as the budget numbers come out even. Martin suggested requiring board approval of the transfer of money between

town departments. “This process would require that process to go before the people, just like the original budget, and make sure that transfer met the priorities of the public,” Martin said. That way, he said, the public could judge whether the town was budgeting according to residents’ priorities. Commission members agreed to that, also agreeing to keep the calendar year as their fiscal year. The commission also discussed moving money into and out of enterprise funds, which cover water and sewer services. For example, Craig restricts movement of money out of but not into its enterprise fund, Martin said. He suggested that the Town Board be given the option of moving money as members see fit. “I think that’d be one I’d like to come back to,” Strickland said. Other panel members agreed. The commission also agreed that franchise agreements, or deals to run services such as electricity and cable TV, should be reviewed every 10 years. Members decided those shouldn’t automatically be put See HRCC, back page

Mike Coffman, a Boys & Girls Clubs of America regional service director based in Richardson, Texas, said the group will bypass a number of obstacles by expanding the existing operation instead of starting a new club in Steamboat. A standalone club would need a board of directors and an executive director, 501(C)(3) status, 100 documented interested children and other requirements set by the national Boys & Girls Clubs of America. “It saves a lot of work because all of our clubs are stand-alone organizations,” Coffman said. The one remaining requirement would be a place for the club to meet. “I think the bottom line is they have to have a facility big enough,” he said. Each student pays an annual fee to become a member of the club. The number can range from $5 to $10 per year, but can be more based on community needs. Coffman said he does not know what the cost will be to Steamboat children. “It’s a rate where every boy and girl in the community who wants to come, can come,” he said. “What a lot of people don’t

The Boys & Girls Club of Craig is mustering volunteers and funds in preparation for a possible eastward expansion to Steamboat Springs. Dana Duran, the executive director of the Boys & Girls Club of Craig, said the group has been in discussion with Steamboat residents for some time in hopes of opening a Steamboat facility. “It’s always been something Steamboat’s been interested in, especially because Craig has had one,” she said. “It’s going to take a whole lot. It’s not just as easy as opening the door.” At an April 14 Steamboat Springs School Board meeting, Steamboat resident Heather Martyn told the board to expect a club to open in the near future, but Duran said there are no firm commitments or decisions in the process. “There are a lot of things behind the scenes that need to get taken care of,” she said. “We’re in discussions, and that’s as far as we are right now.”

understand is Boys & Girls Club of America doesn’t run these organizations.” The organizations are run locally. The club also would offer an alternative to the after-school and days-off programs run by the city of Steamboat Springs. That program, based in new offices at Soda Creek Elementary School this year, often serves more than 50 students, Steamboat Springs Youth Services Coordinator Jennifer Travis said. The city-run program costs $10 per day for after-school activities and $30 per day for all-day programs on days when there is no school. That cost will increase to $32 per day in the summer, Travis said. Students can choose between bicycle trips, science lessons, bowling, karate, tennis, enrichment clubs and other activities. Travis said that the wait lists for the program are much shorter than when the program was housed in the Igloo at Howelsen Hill, and on most days, the program can accommodate all interested students. The Boys & Girls Club offers some of the same options in Craig, including homework help, computer labs, arts and sports. The activities that will be offered in Steamboat still are under discussion. Duran said the Boys & Girls Club is looking for volunteers and donations to help propel the Steamboat initiative.

COMMENTARY

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

Erin go broke Thomas Friedman THE NEW YORK TIMES

“What,” asked my interlocutor, “is the worst-case outlook for the world economy?” It wasn’t until the next day that I came up with the right answer: America could turn Irish. What’s so bad about that? Well, the Irish government now predicts that this year GDP will decline more than 10 percent from its peak, crossing the line that sometimes is used to distinguish between a recesFriedman sion and a depression. But there’s more to it than that: To satisfy nervous lenders, Ireland is being forced to increase taxes and slash government spending in the face of an economic slump — policies that will further deepen the slump. And it’s that closing off of policy options that I’m afraid might happen to

the rest of us. The slogan “Erin go bragh,” usually translated as “Ireland forever,” traditionally is used as a declaration of Irish identity. But it also could, I fear, be read as a prediction for the world economy. How did Ireland get into its current bind? By being just like us, only more so. Like Iceland, Ireland jumped with both feet into the brave new world of unsupervised global markets. Last year, the Heritage Foundation declared Ireland the third-freest economy in the world, behind only Hong Kong and Singapore. One part of the Irish economy that especially became free was the banking sector, which used its freedom to finance a monstrous housing bubble. Ireland became in effect a cool, snake-free version of coastal Florida. Then the bubble burst. The collapse of construction sent the economy into a tailspin, while plunging home prices left many people owing more than their houses were worth. The result, as in the United States, has been a rising tide of defaults

and heavy losses for the banks. And the troubles of the banks largely are responsible for putting the Irish government in a policy straitjacket. On the eve of the crisis, Ireland seemed to be in good shape, fiscally speaking, with a balanced budget and a low level of public debt. But the government’s revenue — which had become strongly dependent on the housing boom — collapsed along with the bubble. Even more important, the Irish government found itself having to take responsibility for the mistakes of private bankers. Last September, Ireland moved to shore up confidence in its banks by offering a government guarantee on their liabilities — thereby putting taxpayers on the hook for potential losses of more than twice the country’s GDP, equivalent to $30 trillion for the United States. The combination of deficits and exposure to bank losses raised doubts about See Friedman, page 9

As nearly everyone must know by now, Boyle is the Scottish singer who blew away the judges, the audience — and by the millions of YouTube hits — much of the world with her performance on the “Britain’s Got Talent” TV program. Susan Boyle’s performance is not the entire story, however. She’s had Thomas her magnificent voice since she was a young girl. We are the story because of our reaction to her.

48-year-old woman with graying hair, a dress that looks as if it might have been purchased at the British equivalent of Wal-Mart hugging a body that even she described as “like a garage.” Frumpy is the word that first comes to mind. As she walks on stage, the condescension is as thick as a London fog. The judges are Piers Morgan, a former tabloid newspaper editor, the irritating Simon Cowell, the show’s creator and also the co-host on America’s talent reality show “American Idol,” and Amanda Holden, a beautiful, blonde English actress. The message they send with their facial expressions and body language is reinforced by cutaway shots of the audience: What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be mopping the stage instead of singing on it? Cowell asks her to share her dream. Boyle says she wants to be like the English musical theater legend Elaine Paige. Cowell seems to struggle to hide

his disdain, as if to say, “Yes, and I’d like to be prime minister.” He asks her what she intends to sing and she announces, “I Dreamed a Dream” from “Les Miserables.” One of the judges is heard to mutter, “a difficult song.” The music begins and not 12 bars elapse before a stunned audience erupts in applause. All those hypocrites who thought nothing good could come from this dowdy woman because our narcissistic culture has taught us that the only thing that matters is beauty, not depth of character, suddenly want to embrace what seconds ago they had instinctively rejected. More music, more words and the audience is on its feet cheering. Slowly, the gorgeous Amanda Holden rises to applaud, and the contrast could not be starker.

VIEWPOINTS

Friedman continued from 8 Ireland’s long-run solvency, reflected in a rising risk premium on Irish debt and warnings about possible downgrades from ratings agencies. Hence the harsh new policies. Earlier this month, the Irish government simultaneously announced a plan to purchase many of the banks’ bad assets — putting taxpayers even further on the hook — while raising taxes and cutting spending, to reassure lenders. Is Ireland’s government doing the right thing? As I read the debate among Irish experts, there’s widespread criticism of the bank plan, with many of the country’s leading economists calling for temporary nationalization instead. (Ireland already has nationalized one major bank.) The arguments of

these Irish economists are very similar to those of a number of American economists, myself included, about how to deal with our own banking mess. But there isn’t much disagreement about the need for fiscal austerity. As far as responding to the recession goes, Ireland appears to be really, truly without options, other than to hope for an export-led recovery if and when the rest of the world bounces back. So what does all this say about those of us who aren’t Irish? For now, the United States isn’t confined by an Irish-type fiscal straitjacket: The financial markets still consider U.S. government debt safer than anything else. But we can’t assume that this always will be true. Unfortunately, we didn’t save for a rainy day: thanks to tax cuts

and the war in Iraq, America came out of the “Bush boom” with a higher ratio of government debt to GDP than it had going in. And if we push that ratio another 30 or 40 points higher — not out of the question if economic policy is mishandled during the next few years — we might start facing our own problems with the bond market. Not to put too fine a point on it, that’s one reason I’m so concerned about the Obama administration’s bank plan. If, as some of us fear, taxpayer funds end up providing windfalls to financial operators instead of fixing what needs to be fixed, we might not have the money to go back and do it right. The lesson of Ireland is that you really don’t want to put yourself in a position where you have to punish your economy in order to save your banks.

Gray: Paths of glory lead but to the grave define as beautiful, the other exuding a depth of beauty that Holden and the entire audience wishes it possessed. The faux beauty is paying tribute to the reality. People are crying, not from the external beauty represented by Holden, but because of the internal beauty projected by Susan Boyle. I have worked in TV most of my professional life. I see many women before they have their hair and makeup done. Most are good looking enough; some are just average. But when they emerge from their makeovers, they have been transformed into something they are not. Reality was before. They now are someone’s fantasy.

Even though we know where physical beauty ultimately leads — to wrinkles and sometimes to despair — we still worship it. The 18th-century English poet Thomas Gray got to the heart of it when he wrote: “The boast of heraldry, the pomp of pow’r, And all that beauty, all that wealth e’er gave. Awaits alike the inevitable hour:

The paths of glory lead but to the grave.” In an interview with a British newspaper, Susan Boyle said, “Modern society is too quick to judge people on their appearances. There is not much you can do about it; it is the way they think; it is the way they are. But maybe this could teach them a lesson, or set an example.” Let’s hope it does both.

Lawyer: Property could be cited for aesthetic reasons Space Station continued from 5 vent parking on the site surrounds the property. If the current negotiations also fall through, Brown said Monument Oil probably would reopen Space Station as an owner-managed store. “We’re as anxious as anybody to get that remodeled and reopened again,” Brown said. “We’re bleeding from the property tax and just the maintenance

up there. … We’re working diligently to get it operational and to get that fence down, obviously.” Deputy City Manager Wendy DuBord said Brown has been telling the city for months that a reopening of Space Station is imminent. “That’s what he keeps telling me,” DuBord said. “If it starts getting really trashy, we might have to talk to him. … That place is starting to look a little run-down, but we don’t want the

fence to go away because then it will turn into a parking lot again.” One option available to the city is to cite Monument Oil for public nuisance, but DuBord said the municipal code is not completely clear about what constitutes a public nuisance. “It’s a fine line,” she said. “We’ve actually talked about what’s a public nuisance.” City Attorney Dan Foote said a property couldn’t be cited

simply for being vacant. “There has to be some sort of threat to the public health, safety or welfare,” Foote said. Foote said a property could be cited for aesthetic reasons, for being unsafe or for attracting illegal activity. There was a small amount of litter on the site Monday, including broken glass, plastic liquor bottles, cigarette butts and beer cans in the bushes at the street corner.

No suspects arrested in school break-in case Investigations continued from 6 to the woman “serious bodily harm.” Because of medical privacy laws, officials did not disclose the woman’s status. Because of the hold placed by ICE, the man will not be offered bail until his citizenship status is determined.

Evidence from school break-in sent to state Detective Jerry Stabile, of the Steamboat Springs Police

Department, said the investigation into the laptop stolen from Steamboat Springs School District offices now is in the hands of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. The laptop, stolen from the office of District Finance Director Dale Mellor on the night of Feb. 24, contained the Social Security numbers of 1,300 past and present district employees. “We sent a bunch of stuff to CBI and have not gotten lab work back,” Stabile said. The time it will take for the

bureau to process the evidence depends on the backlog of cases from across the state and is difficult to predict, Stabile said. No suspects have been arrested in the case. Five doors were damaged in the break-in, and at the time, Officer JD Paul said investigators collected significant evidence at the scene. “We took some evidence from some of the doors. We got some good fingerprints from some of them,” he said.

Venus to appear behind moon at 7:16 a.m. Westlake continued from 6 familiar “W” shaped pattern of Cassiopeia in the Northeast sky. But, the main event Wednesday morning is the rare close conjunction and occultation of the dazzling planet Venus by the slender waxing crescent moon. When the pair breaks the eastern horizon about 4:50 a.m. MT, it will resemble a celestial diamond ring with Venus just off of the moon’s bright cusp. Keep watching, though, because as the sky brightens with the rising sun,

the moon actually will occult, or eclipse, Venus starting about 6:20 a.m. With binoculars, you should be able to spot Venus as it reappears during daylight from behind the moon’s dark edge at about 7:16 a.m. Strong binoculars or a small telescope also should show the crescent phase of the planet Venus as the moon gobbles it up. Just be sure that you have a clear, unobstructed view of the eastern sky to watch the occultation. On Monday, the weather forecast for Wednesday morning looked great. If the sky is

clear, you won’t regret rising a little early to catch this celestial triple-header. Professor Jimmy Westlake teaches astronomy and physics at Colorado Mountain College’s Alpine Campus.

Antonucci supports capital projects budget Sweat aware of concerns Council continued from 1 money became available. The third scenario is a $5.3 million bond measure that would fund the design of the larger projects and also pay for the construction of some of the smaller ones. Antonucci said such a small issuance “doesn’t make any sense” because the cost of issuing the debt would be too high relative to the proceeds. Antonucci said he is supportive of preventing the URA from going dormant this summer because its work could help stimulate and build confidence in the local economy and put the base area in a good position to capture new property and sales taxes when the economy turns around. City Manager Jon Roberts noted the city also would be able to take advantage of lower construction costs.

Capital cuts Also today, City Council will be asked to weigh in on a plan that would reduce the city’s 2009 expenditures on capital projects from $13.1 million to $11.7 million. The plan includes $3.9 million in cut projects and $2.5 million in new projects or those carried over from 2008.

��

�� ......................... ��

��

“It’s because we’re now projecting a decline in revenues, particularly building use tax and excise tax,” said Roberts, adding that the projects won’t be totally eliminated but deferred to later years. In total, the city expects the one-time revenues that go toward capital projects — most of which ebb and flow with private construction activity — to decline $2.4 million this year. Projects being delayed include $400,000 from the city’s general pavement maintenance program, $1.5 million that was going to be used to acquire land for a new public safety building, $440,000 from open space acquisition and $75,000 for an update of the Steamboat Springs Area Community Plan. Preserved projects include $1.2 million for two new buses, $2.2 million for improvements to Lincoln Avenue downtown, $500,000 for new accounting software and $355,000 for a new skateboard park. Many of the preserved projects are leveraged heavily with outside funding or must be constructed this year. The Lincoln Avenue improvements, for example, must be completed in conjunction with overhaul of the road by the Colorado Department of Transportation scheduled for later this year. Antonucci said he is supportive of the revised capital projects budget.

near Walden, according to the Forest Service. Ritschard said the local ranger districts were making a list of local companies they could call for smaller projects that don’t require bids. Dan Shaffer, a logger from Clark, said he was frustrated that no local companies even had a chance to bid on the tree removal. “We’ve got loggers sitting around here on our hands,” Shaffer said. He said it was unnecessary to hire out-of-state contractors even if they subcontract to locals. The Forest Service could have cut out the middleman by contracting locally from the get-go, Shaffer said. The big profits will wind up in Florida and California, he said. Frank Gerken owns Routt County Logging and heard about the contracts from Shaffer. He said he was booked this summer and didn’t plan to bid on the work. Still, he’s afraid this could become a trend. “We’re going to have out-ofstate contractors again coming in and doing at least the oversight work that could have been done locally,” Gerken said. “So what you’ve done is added another layer of cost and another layer of manage-

ment to the project. … Why not just bid it out to start with and save money for the U.S. Treasury?” Some regional companies hope to benefit from the projects. Dennis Hutson, co-owner of Forest Products Inc. in Walden, said he could use the work. “We’re unemployed loggers right now,” Hutson said. “We went from a crew of nine people to my partner and myself. We’re trying to survive.” He said he contacted the Forest Service to get the skinny on the way it awarded the contracts. Hutson said he was told that using the 8(a) contractors allowed the agency to push through the deal fast enough to get the stimulus money. “I’m not happy about it, but it was explained to me, and I guess I can understand their end of it,” he said. Sweat, the Florida logger, said his company was open to hearing from locals. He plans to start on the work here as soon as it’s dry enough. Sweat said he was aware of the concerns coming from Northwest Colorado loggers. “Really, with the economy the way it is, I totally understand,” Sweat said. “I mean, I’m a working guy.” — To reach Blythe Terrell, call 871-4234 or e-mail bterrell@steamboatpilot.com

Court: Pumping liquid from gas drilling must be regulated THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

Energy companies drilling natural gas from underground coal seams must obtain water well permits or replace the water they use if other water supplies are affected, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled Monday. Groundwater pumped out during coal-bed methane drilling is not just a waste product, the court said, ruling on a lawsuit by landowners who say their water supplies are threatened by companies using groundwater to free natural gas in coal seams. The decision means companies must defer to water users with older water rights and replace the water they use when it belongs to others. The ruling affects tributary water, which is connected to rivers and streams. Pumping groundwater relieves pressure that traps methane gas in coal seams. Other gas drilling might produce water, but not in the volumes that coal-bed methane extraction does. Millions of gallons of water might be pumped

during the life of one well. “The confusion brought about There are about 38,000 active by this decision will just add oil and gas wells statewide, and more fuel to the fire of uncerroughly 5,000 of those are coal- tainty affecting the oil and gas business in Colorado,” the assobed methane. ciation said.

Wall Street tumbles as investors dump financials NEW YORK

Investors are back to worrying about banks. Long-present unease about soured loans bubbled over Monday after Bank of America said it set aside $13.4 billion to cover lending losses, even as it posted a profit for the first quarter, and as anxiety grew about the results of the government’s “stress tests” to determine if banks will

need more government bailout money. Although Bank of America and other big banks such as Citigroup have fared better so far this year than many believed they would, nervousness is growing about the massive losses from defaulting loans that are yet to come. On Sunday, White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel said some banks will need help. Financial stocks suffered some of the day’s worst declines: Bank of America plunged 24.3 percent

and Citigroup declined 19 percent. Those two components of the Dow Jones industrial average contributed to a daily loss in the index of 290 points, or 3.6 percent. That was the biggest Dow drop since early March, before the market’s big rally from nearly 12-year lows. Joe Saluzzi, co-head of equity trading at Themis Trading LLC, said traders are skeptical about bank earnings and think the better-than-expected profit reports may be disguis-

ing problems. “They’re looking at bank numbers and are saying they are not that great,” Saluzzi said. Traders have been looking for some pullback ever since the Dow jumped 24 percent from its early March lows. But that pullback could end up being more significant than a mere correction if the market cannot shake its concerns about banks. With the stress test results expected in early May, the market likely is to see more volatility.

��

Worries about banks’ debt problems were aggravated by news reports that their lending remains tight and that the government may swap its debt in banks for ownership stakes as its $700 billion bailout fund runs down. Because of the central role lending plays in keeping businesses of all kinds going, investors have been hunting for signs of a recovery in banks before they get more optimistic about the broader economy.

D-backs strike at Rockies Andrew Bagnato

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHOENIX

Mark Reynolds homered and doubled, Miguel Montero added a three-run homer and the Arizona Diamondbacks defeated Colorado, 6-3, on Monday night. Reynolds hit a solo homer — his third — in the second inning and added an MONDAY’S RBI double in the GAME: fourth off Jason Rockies 3 Marquis (2-1), D-backs 6 who is 0-4 lifetime at Chase Field. Ian Stewart hit his third homer for the Rockies, who have dropped seven of eight to fall into a lastplace tie with San Francisco in the National League West. Jon Garland (2-1) went 6 2-3 innings, allowing one earned run and six hits. He walked two and struck out five. Chad Qualls worked a perfect ninth for his third save in four chances. The Diamondbacks entered 5 1/2 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West — their biggest deficit since Oct. 1, 2006, when they finished 12 games out of first. Arizona’s biggest problem has been at the plate. The Diamondbacks entered with a .215 team batting average, 15th in the NL, and they had more strikeouts (88) than base hits (83). But the Diamondbacks’ hitters awoke against Marquis, who had allowed three earned runs in his first two starts. Arizona took a 1-0 lead in the second, when Reynolds hit a 2-0 delivery from Marquis into the left field bleachers. The Rockies tied it at 1-all on Dexter Fowler’s RBI single in the third. Back-to-back doubles by Chad Tracy and Reynolds in the fourth put Arizona ahead 2-1, and the Diamondbacks blew the game open with four runs in the fifth, the last three coming on Montero’s first-pitch homer into the pool area beyond the rightcenter field wall.

The Washington Capitals’ Alexander Semin attempts to score past the New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist, but Rangers’ Dan Girardi cleared the puck out of the goal crease during first period action in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference playoffs at Madison Square Garden in New York on Monday. The Capitals defeated the Rangers, 4-0.

Capitals take Game 3 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK

While Alex Ovechkin tried to figure out Henrik Lundqvist, the Washington Capitals found a way to beat the New York Rangers. Ovechkin went a third game without a goal but earned two assists for the second-seeded Capitals, who methodically posted a 4-0 victory against the No. 7 Rangers and got back

NHL PLAYOFF ROUNDUP into the Eastern Conference first-round playoff series Monday night. Behind 33 saves from 20year-old Simeon Varlamov, the Capitals cut the series deficit to 2-1 — after a pair of home losses — and moved into position to tie the best-of-seven matchup Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.

Despite playing only six career NHL games, Varlamov made a surprise start in Game 2 after Jose Theodore was ineffective in the opener. Ovechkin cut down on his shooting after recording 19 shots in the first two games and having another 17 attempts blocked, and showed off his passing skills. He earned assists on Alexander Semin’s two goals in the first period and was on the ice

when Brooks Laich added a power-play tally in the second. Former Rangers defenseman Tom Poti also scored a power-play goal with 1:25 left.

SAN ANTONIO

Tony Parker had 38 points and eight assists to help the San Antonio Spurs beat the Dallas Mavericks, 105-84, on Monday night in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series. Dallas was trying to send the Spurs to consecutive home playoff losses for the first time since 2002 but couldn’t contain San Antonio’s speedy point

NBA PLAYOFF ROUNDUP guard. Parker had 27 points in the first half. Jason Terry finished with 16 points for Dallas, which suffered one of the worst losses in the playoff rivalry. Game 3 is Thursday in Dallas. The Mavericks beat the Spurs, 105-97, on Saturday night for their first road playoff victory in three years. But

it hardly was rare territory for San Antonio: The Spurs have come back to win four series after losing Game 1 since 2002.

Bulls 118, Celtics 115 BOSTON

Ray Allen landed the final blow in a memorable duel with Ben Gordon on Monday night, shooting the Boston Celtics back into their firstround series. Allen made a tiebreaking

3-pointer with 2 seconds left and finished with 30 points, leading the Celtics a 118115 win against the Chicago Bulls. Gordon nearly carried Chicago to a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. He scored with 12.3 seconds left to tie it, the final hoop of his playoff career-high 42 points. Then Boston set up a play for Allen, who took a pass from Rajon Rondo and connected from the right side.

Winless RCR needs to step up Jenna Fryer

NASCAR

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARLOTTE, N.C.

Statistics make it difficult to find much wrong with Richard Childress Racing, which has three drivers in the top 16 of the Sprint Cup Series standings. But a poor showing at Phoenix International Raceway, where their cars typically are strong, proved RCR has a ways to go before it realistically can win a championship. The biggest concern is with Kevin Harvick, a two-time Phoenix winner who finished 30th on Saturday night. It was his worst showing on the desert track in six seasons, and extended his winless streak to 79 points races dating back to the 2007 Daytona 500. He was off all weekend at Phoenix and lapped early in the race, leading him to grumble to his crew about the No. 29 team’s poor effort. “At least we can’t blame it on traffic, because we can’t stay close enough to even race,” he

radioed as the leaders passed. It was Harvick’s second consecutive poor outing, and gives him four finishes of 28th or worse on the season. In two weeks, he’s now dropped six spots in the standings to 16th, albeit only 77 points out of the final qualifying spot for the Chase for the championship. But Clint Bowyer, whose fast success in RCR’s brand new fourth entry has been one of NASCAR’s biggest surprises of the season, also struggled in Phoenix. His 26th-place finish was his worst of the year — following a 22nd the race before at Texas — and cost him two more spots in the standings. After rising to second in the points, he’s now down to sixth. “We came here with an experimental setup and with the lack of testing, you have to try different things in order to gain ground,” he said after the race. “We ran well here last year, but felt we needed to improve on

Flames trail 2-1 in series

what we had. Unfortunately, what we tried didn’t work for us.” Jeff Burton led the RCR effort at Phoenix with a 15thplace finish, but he lost four positions during the final few laps and said afterward his car needed to be better. Casey Mears was 20th, and had a late-race skirmish with Dale Earnhardt Jr. that spilled over to the cooldown lap. Earnhardt intentionally spun Mears after the race, and Mears answered by bumping him on pit road. It capped a long night that exposed weaknesses in the RCR program, which widely is considered among the top four in NASCAR. But while the other top teams knock down wins at a rapid pace, RCR drivers have made their mark through consistency. Bowyer, Burton and Harvick have combined for only 12 wins during the past three seasons, but they’ve totaled 155 top-10 finishes. All three have made the Chase the past two seasons.

against the Montreal Canadiens and a commanding lead in their first-round playoff series. Phil Kessel, Shawn Thornton, Chuck Kobasew also scored for Boston, which increased its lead in the Eastern Conference quarterfinal to 3-0 despite the absence of left wing Milan Lucic, who sat out a one-game league suspension. Ryder, a healthy scratch for all but four of Montreal’s 12 playoffs games last season, put Boston ahead 17:21 into the second period. The former Canadiens left wing jumped on a rebound of Dennis Wideman’s shot from the right point and beat Carey Price with a shot into an open left side. CALGARY, ALBERTA

David Moss scored twice, and Rene Bourque and Eric Nystrom also scored for the Flames, who trail, 2-1, in the best-of-seven Western Conference quarterfinal series. Game 4 is Wednesday night in Calgary. Curtis Glencross had a pair of assists for Calgary, which won for the first time in seven meetings with Chicago — four in the regular season and three in the playoffs. The Flames have never won a playoff series they’ve opened 0-2.

Why buy a record and not listen to it? �� 20458105

Ross continued from 2 “You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away” was featured on the Beatles movie “Help,” and I celebrated my 12th birthday by taking a handful of friends to see it at the Orpheum Theater on State Street. To the best of my knowledge, “Hide Your Love Away” never came out on 45, but I’ve got “Yesterday/Act Naturally” from ’65, “Nowhere Man/What Goes On,” “Yellow Submarine/ Eleanor Rigby” and “Paperback Writer/Rain,” all from 1966. “Hey Jude” is hiding somewhere in the house, but I’m pretty cer-

tain it’s no longer in the original sleeve. By the early 1970s, I had long since moved on from 45s to build a collection of 33 and 1/3 vinyl albums. Unfortunately, I haven’t preserved my collection the way Staggs has. “I have over 4,000 LPs,” he told me. Many of them were purchased at Sound Warehouse in Albuquerque, N.M. “I used to spend a lot of time in there,” Staggs said. In the box he dropped off at All that Jazz on Saturday were a number of vinyl discs that had

never been played — the cellophane on the albums still was intact. Why would anyone buy a record and never listen to it? Staggs was such an avid collector that he often purchased two or even three copies of a new release so that at least one would remain in pristine, collectible condition. As much as he treasures old vinyl, Staggs purchased an unconventional turntable awhile back. It is designed to connect to a computer’s USB port. He’s already transferred all of the vinyl that he really treasures to digital.

Panel will take break next week, meet May 4 HRCC continued from 3 to a public vote. The final issue the panel addressed was water rights related to franchise agreements. Martin suggested adding a statement to the charter clarifying that Hayden wouldn’t relinquish its water rights as part of a franchise contract. “This restricts the board or any town board in the future from giving the water rights away

as any part of a deal,” Martin said. Commission members strongly agreed that retaining water rights was crucial. “It’s as important of a statement as maybe anything that’s done in here,” Martin said. The Home Rule Charter Commission doesn’t have the final say on the town charter. The panel will create a draft, which will go to a public hearing. The Town Board will vote on the

charter, and it likely is to go to voters this summer if the board approves it. Dowling expressed frustration that the commission was short four board members Monday. Mayor Lorraine Johnson, Trustee Richard “Festus” Hagins, schools Superintendent Greg Rockhold and Hayden High School Principal Troy Zabel were absent. All were excused, Martin said. The panel will take a break next week and will meet May 4.
