Northwest Colorado’s top prosecutor and Rep. Randy Baumgardner, R-Hot Sulphur Springs, oppose a repeal of Colorado’s death penalty that passed the state House of Representatives in a tight 33-32 vote. House Bill 1274 would devote the expected savings of eliminating Baumgardner death as a sentencing option to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation’s Cold Case Homicide Team. It is sponsored by House Majority Lea der Paul Weissmann, DOldham Louisville. After the House approval last week, the bill was introduced in the state Senate on Thursday and assigned to the State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee. State Sen. Al White, R-Hayden, did not return a phone call Friday seeking comment. In the House, only one Republican voted for H.B. 1274, and six Democrats voted against it. See Death penalty, back page

Myths about drinking and driving

STEAMBOAT TODAY

Here are just a few interesting statistics and popular myths about the behavior of drinking and driving, also called driving under the influence. It is true that, nationally, less than 1 percent of the driving population is ever arrested for DUI. Nationwide, one driver in 122 will get a DUI. In Steamboat Springs, the frequency of DUI arrest is just about the same, and has rarely exceeded 2 percent. Thus, it is a myth that “lots of people get one” and “you are not a local until you do.” It is true that the average blood alcohol content for a DUI arrest nationwide is .21 percent. A 160pound person, drinking for three hours, would need to consume 12 standard alcohol beverages to reach this level of intoxication. Not a few. Not six, or eight. A dozen. Thus, it is a myth that the average person arrested for DUI has just “had a few.” He or she has had a dozen, which, interestingly, is the number of standard alcohol beverages a responsible drinker drinks in one week. Not three hours; one week. “Yep, honey, I just stopped off

on the way home from work and had a dozen.” Sounds a little different when we talk about it that way, doesn’t it? Then add, “Oh, yeah, and I was 385 times more likely to kill someone than a sober driver,” and it really starts to sound interesting. It is true that if a 160-pound person had four standard alcoholic beverages in three hours, their blood alcohol content would measure just below .03 percent. It is true that intoxicated drivers kill more people every year than all other forms of violent crimes combined. The national DUI death toll has wavered between 16,000 and 17,000 each year for many years now. It also is true that frequently, the intoxicated driver who kills has been arrested, convicted and treated for DUI twice previously. Yes, many of our deadly DUI drivers have been arrested, convicted and treated twice previously for this crime. It also is true that more than 2 million drivers

have three or more prior DUI arrests and that 400,000 have five or more prior DUI arrests. We should regard these people as the most deadly group in our society. They are more likely to go on to kill us than any other identifiable subgroup of our population. During the 10 years of war in Vietnam, intoxicated drivers killed five times more Americans than were killed in combat. DUI drivers have killed 16 times more Americans than have been killed in the Iraq war. Yes, they are killing us five to 16 times faster than wars have. It is true that at a BAC of .15 percent, a person is 385 times more likely to cause a fatal automobile accident than is a sober driver. And, of all the people arrested for DUI each year, only 18 percent of them have a BAC under .15 percent. Thus, it is a myth that the averSee Monday Medical, back page

During its annual meeting Saturday night, the Community Alliance of the Yampa Valley discussed annexation and its impacts — a topic that could affect land to the west and south of Steamboat Springs, including portions of this parcel near Emerald Mountain, shown during summer 2008.

Planner discusses annexations Community Alliance gets advice on how to proceed with growth Brandon Gee

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

An annexation should preserve community character, mesh well with the existing municipality and be as detailed as possible when approved, John Hess said at the annual gathering of the Community Alliance of the Yampa Valley on Saturday. Hess is the director of planning and community development in Crested Butte and a former Routt County planner. In his presentation to the Community Alliance, Hess discussed four annexations he has overseen in the small Gunnison County town. As the city of Steamboat Springs grapples with two annexations proposals — Steamboat 700 and 360 Village — Community Alliance officials hoped Hess could help residents become more knowledgeable about the process. “Our mission is always to make sure people are making informed decisions,”Community Alliance organizer Steve Aigner said last week. A decision about whether to annex Steamboat 700 — a proposed 508-acre master-planned community just west of city limits — is expected later this year. Hess offered several tips for negotiating a good deal, but he acknowledged that Crested Butte’s annexations are nowhere near the size and complexity of Steamboat 700. Hess’ first piece of advice was to look at an annexation more like a legislative act than a typical development application. The decision to annex is a

So if your children wish to help you out in the garden, let them get dirty and enjoy the full benefits of an enjoyable activity while building up their immune system. Other observations of Alzheimer’s patients have shown major benefits of gardening, in addition to these increased serotonin levels. These benefits include the exercise of planting, weeding, watering and caring for plants; the mood elevating beauty and fragrance of a garden; the relaxing atmosphere of the natural setting, and a sense of accomplishment and purpose. So, if you’re feeling a little low, a little under the weather, or just plain ornery from being cooped up indoors, give yourself a lift by getting out into the garden and getting your hands dirty.

School Board to look at gift policy Group will consider current procedures at meeting to guide funding acceptance STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

When and how the Steamboat Spring School Board accepts gifts from outside agencies, and particularly the Education Fund Board, is an increasingly contentious topic as school board members will discuss the official policy at a meeting tonight. The board almost always accepts monetary gifts from the Fund Board, but board member Lisa Brown will present a policy suggestion tonight that will guide board action. Even so, the policy is scheduled for discussion after the board is slated to accept the newest round of funding for $2.55 million from the Fund Board. The new policy would lead the School Board to accept “gifts or grants that provide a benefit rather than a detriment to the Steamboat Springs School District.” The policy, based around previous discussions by the board and a piecemeal policy compiled in previous years, would guide the board to answer a series of questions, including “was the gift or grant solicited?” and “what happens if the board does not accept the gift or grant?” The board has been faced with decisions in the past where funding from the Fund Board would require the school district to continue funding projects after the initial year, as with personnel and extensive projects. The new policy would require “a clear financial picture of the proposed use of the gift or grant …” and “a definite understanding with the regard to the use of the gift, including whether it is intended for the use of one particular school or for all schools in the district and a timeline for using the gift or grant.” The School Board also reserves the right to accept or decline any grant. That allows the School Board to control the funding provided by outside sources and predict the impact to the budget in future years. The issue became concrete this year when several school district employee positions, including English Language Learner and Gifted and Talented teachers, were not renewed by the Fund Board. The School Board must determine whether it wants to continue funding those positions by redirecting money from other areas or cutting the positions entirely.

Calendar The board also will consider a revised school calendar for the 2009-10 school year as proposed by Superintendent Shalee Cunningham at the last meeting. Although originally suggesting the school year begin Aug. 31 and extend until June 11, Cunningham responded to concerns from parents who spoke at the meeting that the school district would continue too long into June. The new calendar would shorten the traditionally weeklong Blues Break to become a four-day weekend. The proposal would instead

If you go What: Meeting of the Steamboat Springs School Board When: 7 p.m. tonight Where: Centennial Hall, 124 10th Street

start the school year Aug. 24 and extend until June 4. Teachers would report Aug. 17 and leave June 7, with a total of 12 staff workdays and 173 student days in the calendar. The board at the last meeting approved the start and end dates for the calendar but postponed the approval of the full calendar until this meeting. — To reach Zach Fridell, call 871-4208 or e-mail zfridell@steamboatpilot.com

COMMENTARY

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

Slouching toward oblivion Maureen Dowd

THE NEW YORK TIMES

LOS ANGELES

Maybe it’s because I’m staying at the Sunset Tower on Sunset Boulevard, but I keep thinking of newspapers as Norma Desmond. Papers still are big. It’s the screens that got small. Now that everybody can check their iPhones and laptops for news that personally interests them, now that they can Google, blog and tweet, as well as shop — and stalk — on Dowd Craigslist, old-school newspapers seem like aging silent film stars, stricken to find themselves outmoded by technology. As a disgusted Desmond asks from behind dark glasses: “And who have they got now? Some nobodies — a lot of pale little frogs croaking pish-posh.”

Eric Schmidt, the Google CEO, reassured me that newspapers would last 500 years but only for a boutique market: commuters taking trains, cabs and subways on the East Coast and in cities such as London and Paris. Journalists still are hot in Hollywood. Russell Crowe, playing a messy and morally ambiguous Washington investigative journalist, teaches the self-regarding blogger Rachel McAdams a thing or three, including why a pen is necessary. “The Soloist,” based on an inspiring story about a schizophrenic musician by the Los Angeles Times columnist Steve Lopez, was shot in the Times newsroom. But in real life, journalists are feeling the chill. Calling his purchase of The L.A. Times and The Chicago Tribune “a mistake,” Sam “The Sham” Zell said, “It’s very obvious that the newspaper model in its current form does not work, and the sooner we all acknowledge that, the better.” He said he probably would not try

for a merger because “that’s like asking someone in another business if they want to get vaccinated with a live virus.” Many L.A. Times journalists were outraged about a recent front-page NBC ad for the cop show “Southland” that was tarted up to look like a real news feature story (a tactic the paper repeated with an ad supplement for “The Soloist”). “It’s one thing being marched to the gallows by an uncaring and unappreciative public, sentenced by shifting technological and cultural habits and a few bonehead moves of your own,” Phil Bronstein, San Francisco Chronicle editor at large, said in a blog, summing up the attitude of the 100-plus journalists at The L.A. Times who signed a petition protesting the “Southland” ad. “But it’s quite another having to go to your death stripped naked as a jaybird.” When I met up with Bronstein in San Francisco — where The Chronicle was See Dowd, page 9

Giving back Cold War gains Jonah Goldberg

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

In 1993, Bill Clinton joked, “Gosh, I miss the Cold War.” And, he explained, somberly: “We had an intellectually coherent thing. The American people knew what the rules were.” Such Cold War nostalgia vexed many conservatives. It seemed to us that the Cold War consensus had broken down with the Vietnam War. Clinton himself didn’t much like that Cold War endeavor, which Goldberg is one reason he worked so assiduously to avoid serving in it. A young John Kerry did serve, but he also threw away his medals and denounced his fellow servicemen as war criminals. Jimmy Carter, meanwhile, had proclaimed that he had no “inordinate fear of Communism,” suggesting that

MALLARD FILLMORE

those who disagreed with him did. The “intellectual coherence” of the Cold War didn’t stop many liberals from opposing Ronald Reagan’s foreignpolicy efforts in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America, nor did it temper Hollywood’s ardor in portraying Reagan as a warmonger, a dunce or both. In the 1980s, the SANE/Freeze movement fired the minds of much of the Democratic Party. And when the Cold War ended without a shot fired, the left worked hard to give all the credit to Mikhail Gorbachev, since he seemed like a more reasonable fellow. All of that comes to mind as I watch President Barack Obama stroll across the globe apologizing for, or condemning, the sins of his predecessors and, by extension, his country. After former Soviet pawn and now Nicaraguan president Daniel Ortega berated the United States at a recent summit, President Obama joked, in reference

to the failed Bay of Pigs operation, “I’m grateful that President Ortega did not blame me for things that happened when I was 3 months old.” In Prague, Obama declared that “the most dangerous legacy of the Cold War” is the large stockpile of nuclear weapons left behind after the war, sounding as if he might have been one of those teenagers who translated SANE/Freeze brochures into high school term papers. The truth is that the Cold War’s most dangerous legacy remains the bundle of radioactive lies that poisoned so many lands and deformed so many minds. The Soviets fueled national-socialist movements around the globe, telling the poor that if they embraced violent revolution and systematically purged capitalism, tradition and religion from their societies, they would hasten their ascent to the sunny uplands of history.

Editor relives newspaper’s important roles Dowd continued from 8 bleeding nearly a million a week last year — he said he thought the L.A. Times reporters had overreacted, and that newspapers should not be so prudish. “The principle is a sound one — you don’t want to deceive your readers,” he said. “But I’m not all that convinced your readers are so deceivable. A lot of readers think we’re biased, and because we think we’re unbiased, we think they must be stupid. But they’re not. They’re just opinionated.” Bronstein prefers action to self-pity: “The death spiral stuff is all so self-referential, a lot of fake righteousness.” I asked him to take me on a justify-your-existence tour.

He started by driving me past an old journalism hangout. “That’s kind of a dead thing, a newspaper bar,” he said. Continuing with the obsolescence theme, he showed me the Linotype machine in the lobby of The Chronicle and his old conference room upstairs. We pass another conference room, where the San Francisco political consultant Clint Reilly tangled with Bronstein and left on a stretcher with a broken leg. We drove around the city for hours, looking at places where journalism had had an impact. At police headquarters, he told of The Chronicle’s coverage about police brutality that forced the department to create a database tracking misbehaving officers. He talked about

the paper’s AIDS coverage as we drove through the Castro and past San Francisco General Hospital, where the AIDS wards once overflowed. Parked outside the Giants’ ballpark, he praised the paper’s reporting on Barry Bonds and the steroids scandal, noting that “there are far fewer fly balls going out in the bay.” His tour ended with cold comfort, as he observed that longer life expectancies may keep us on life support. “For people who still love print, who like to hold it, feel it, rustle it, tear stuff out, do their I.F. Stone thing, it’s important to remember that people are living longer,” he said. “That’s the most hopeful thing you can say about print journalism, that old people are living longer.”

Obama is losing ground for all Americans The Soviets spread lies about the nature of democracy and destroyed indigenous democratic movements, lest they leech off the revolutionary ardor of groups more murderous and more loyal to the Kremlin. In the West, they employed useful idiots in academia and the press to foment self-hatred and eat away at civilizational self-confidence with idiotic arguments about the “moral equivalence” between West and East. They funded antiwar movements, peace congresses and supposedly crusading “independent” journalists.

For example, they spread the lie around the globe that America invented AIDS to kill blacks. Obama talks a lot about wanting to move beyond the “stale arguments” of the Cold War. In one sense that’s fine, since that twilight struggle is over. But in another sense, as we watch him apologize for America’s history, it is hard to shake the feeling that he only saw one side’s arguments as “stale.” That wouldn’t matter if the past were a page one could merely turn, as Obama frequently claims. But the Cold War’s lessons aren’t so irrelevant to the times we live in. The past is never

completely irrelevant. One small example: The Wall Street Journal’s Dan Henninger asked a former Eastern European dissident imprisoned by Communists: “If you were sitting in a cell in Cuba, Iran or Syria and saw this photo of a smiling American president shaking hands with a smiling Hugo Chavez, what would you think?” The former dissident responded: “I would think that I was losing ground.” When I see the president telling so many of America’s enemies and critics what they want to hear, I feel like we’re all losing ground — ground that was worth winning.

The senior blood draw, which was held Thursday, was so popular this year it might have taken away from the health fair, Lausin said. “They said there were 179 blood draws on Thursday,” Lausin said.

With a few minutes until the doors opened Saturday at Sunset Elementary School for the 30th annual 9News Health Fair, a line already was forming. The type of line that stretched from the school across the street. The school was full of people Saturday morning for the health fair, which was sponsored by the Craig Lions Club. Stan Fox was one of those people. “Just went through, had everything,” he said after coming out of the cafeteria, where blood screenings were performed. The best part of the health fair for Fox? “Standing right here,” he said pointing to the end of the line. “We stood in line for almost an

hour and a half. “But it wasn’t bad. I saw a lot of people, so it was an annual gathering, you might say.” While the crowd moved toward the cafeteria, volunteers Michael Lausin and Ray Talkington stood at the ready. Talkington and Lausin had been doing everything from fetching water bottles for anyone drawing blood to holding their place in line if they needed to step out for anything. Even with the long line, Lausin said he thought numbers were down this year, compared to other years. “I think it’s a bit lower this year,” said Lausin. “It’s starting to clear out, and normally, around 10:30 or 11 it starts filling back up again.” The two men were busy Saturday. “We’ve gone through 22 cases of bottled water since we opened

Life-changing products help ease loss of vision, hearing Tamera Manzanares

SPECIAL TO THE PILOT & TODAY

Losing vision separates a person from the world; losing hearing separates them from humanity. Deb Dunaway has heard this sentiment more than a few times from clients experiencing these challenges. Thankfully, products are available to re-engage individuals in social interaction and also help them with daily tasks hindered by deafness, blindness, arthritis and other problems prevalent among older adults. It’s Dunaway’s job to connect individuals with this savvy and often inexpensive technology. “They are absolutely shocked these things are available,” said Dunaway, who coordinates the Older Individuals with Blindness Program at the Independent Life Center in Craig. Hayden residents will have a chance to check out some of these products first hand during Dunaway’s presentation Wednesday at Wellness Days at The Haven Community Center. The most popular products are the personal FM systems, which help individuals tune in to conversations. Unlike many hearing aids, which do not filter out external noise, gadgets such as the Pocket Talker are geared toward voices, making it easier for the user to participate in discussions. Personal FM systems typically cost about $160, compared with hearing aids, which range anywhere from $3,000 to $7,000. “Nearly everyone says they

are life changing,” Dunaway said. Even the simplest and cheapest of products can make a big difference. Individuals losing their sight may benefit from cards with raised adhesive dots that can be placed on a microwave, washing machine or other appliances with hard-to-see buttons. The cards cost about $1. Another product popular with people experiencing vision problems are NoIR glasses, which come in many different shades to improve eye sight for people with night blindness, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and other problems. One client purchased a pair just so she could comfortably sit in her bright kitchen. Dunaway, who travels within a five-county region assisting clients, bought a pair that improves contrast and clarity during winter driving conditions. Because many people have vision trouble in various situations, such as in front of a computer, the glasses are popular among all ages. The NoIR company even makes specialty glasses for children. Overall prices range from about $9 to $35. “Those are another cheap fix that are life-altering,”

Deb Dunaway of the Independent Life Center will demonstrate products available to people experiencing vision or hearing loss, arthritis and other problems, at noon Wednesday during Hayden Wellness Days at The Haven Community Center. Lunch is available for $2.50. All are welcome. For more information or to suggest future guest speakers or topics for Wellness Days, call 871-7676. Dunaway provides free information about research, treatments and adaptive equipment for disabled individuals during VizAbilities meetings held monthly in several locations.

Upcoming meetings: ■ 1:30 p.m. today at Sunset Meadows I in Craig. ■ 12:30 p.m. May 12 at the Steamboat Springs Community Center. ■ 12:30 p.m. May 14 at the American Legion in Hayden. ■ 12:30 p.m. May 20 at the Oak Creek Community Center.

Her presentation will be a good opportunity for adult children or caregivers to learn about products that can help family members contending with various physical challenges. “Being exposed to this information gives you that many tools to draw from,” Dunaway said. The nature of disabilities such as sight and hearing loss makes it difficult for individuals to stay informed about new products, treatments and research related to their conditions. Dunaway works to bridge this gap through VizAbilities, which involves regular monthly meetings aimed at sharing information relevant to vision and hearing loss as well as other topics important to older adults. The meetings also provide a comfortable setting for participants to share their experiences and challenges. For information about VizAbilities or other services available to individuals with disabilities, call 826-0833. — Tamera Manzanares writes for the Aging Well program and can be reached at tammarie74@yahoo.com.

Kyle Mickelson survived the deadly shootings at Columbine High School as a freshman and is now trying to teach his students that school violence can happen to them, if they aren’t tolerant. Mickelson teaches social studies at Rifle Middle School and spent April 20 — the 10year anniversary of the thenworst school shootings in U.S. history — explaining what happened and what he did. “If just one kid changes their attitude, it’s totally worth it,” he said after one of four Powerpoint presentations on the tragedy that he showed to his students. Mickelson said he has come to terms with what happened at Columbine, where a dozen students and one teacher were killed by two other students, who then shot themselves. Mickelson ended up in a science room during the shootings with injured teacher Dave Sanders, who was shot early in the incident but survived until just after most

��

students were rescued. “I remember everything about that day,” Mickelson said as he began to recount April 20, 1999, when he was a 15-yearold freshman among some 2,000 classmates. The first indication that something might happen came during the school’s announcements via closed-circuit TV. Each day’s announcements ended with a quote, Mickelson said, and that day the quote was “You shouldn’t be here today.” “It turns out the gunmen had put that quote in there,” he said. “They had actually given plenty of warning, telling their dates at the prom that something was going to happen and how much better things will be when everyone was dead. But no one took them seriously. We all felt completely safe and never thought that what happened would happen at our school.” Sanders told Mickelson and several hundred students in Columbine’s cafeteria to first get under the tables and then to run as the gunmen started walking down the halls and shooting. He was shot, but was helped by some students who knew first aid, Mickelson said. “We had a dry erase board and one kid wrote ‘1 bleeding to death’ and put it in the window for the cops to see,”

��

�� 20458550

��

he added. “For the next three hours, we just sat on the floor and waited.” Another teacher helped keep the students in the room calm, even as one of the gunmen walked by the room but didn’t open the door, Mickelson said. Sanders, despite his wounds, “never worried about himself,” Mickelson said. “All he said was ‘Get these kids out of here’ and ‘Tell my girls I love them,’” Mickelson said. Sanders died about five minutes after Mickelson and all the other students in the room escaped with the help of SWAT officers. As Mickelson ran to where police said was a safety zone, he saw one dead body, a fellow student. “I still kept running, but I didn’t know I was running,” he said. “It didn’t feel like it.” When summer began, Mickelson said he was sure he wouldn’t go back to Columbine in the fall but changed his mind. On the first day, parents and others formed two long human chains by holding hands as Columbine students walked down the middle. “That was one of the greatest days of my life, and I think it really sent a message that the gunmen didn’t win,” Mickelson said.

State prepares for swine flu DENVER

Gov. Bill Ritter has asked the federal government to send antiviral drugs and masks to Colorado so the state will be ready for a possible outbreak of swine flu. As of Sunday, For more the state had no Swine flu fears confirmed cases close schools of the illness See page 21 that appears to have killed dozens of people in Mexico and has turned up in five states in the U.S., Ritter said. Still, he and state health officials suggested that anyone with flu symptoms stay home to avoid spreading illness at the office, school or day care.

Health officials were considering distributing fliers at Denver International Airport to travelers returning from Mexico to warn them of symptoms, similar to previous efforts in response to SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome, said Dr. Ned Calonge, chief medical officer for the state health department. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment opened its emergency operations center, and a phone line was set up to answer people’s questions, beginning Monday. Calonge said it might be prudent to postpone travel plans to Mexico, but no travel advisories have been issued. “This is a matter of being prepared but not overwrought,” Ritter said. The U.S. declared a public

health emergency so it could ship about 12 million doses of flu-fighting medications from a federal stockpile to states in case they need them, but each of the 20 confirmed cases in the U.S., in California, Kansas, New York, Ohio and Texas, appeared mild. Symptoms are similar to those of regular human season flu, such as a high fever, lack of appetite, lethargy and coughing. Calonge said the situation was evolving, and he wouldn’t be surprised if the illness eventually spreads to Colorado. Still, the season for regular flu has been winding down, and hospital officials have not reported any uptick in activity that would make them suspect A/H1N1 swine flu, Calonge said.

Lawyers’ group backs Nacchio’s appeal Review of ex-Qwest CEO’s conviction supported by law council DENVER

Two groups have filed a friend-of-the-court brief asking the Supreme Court to review former Qwest CEO Joseph Nacchio’s insider trading conviction. The National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the New York Council of Defense Lawyers filed the brief last week.

Nacchio has begun serving a six-year sentence on 19 counts of insider trading based on allegations that he sold $52 million worth of stock in 2001 based on nonpublic information that Qwest Communications International faced financial risk. Nacchio has argued that his trial judge improperly barred testimony from an expert who could have explained Nacchio’s trading patterns and whether

the alleged insider information he held was significant. The full 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in February that the judge was within his discretion in barring the testimony because of unanswered questions about the expert’s methodology.

UAW, Chrysler, Fiat reach deal

DETROIT

Chrysler cleared another major obstacle to its survival Sunday when it reached a tentative deal on concessions with the United Auto Workers union, helping it move closer to inking a vital alliance with Italy’s Fiat Group SpA. The troubled automaker is just days away from a Thursday U.S. government deadline to gain concessions from its unions and debtholders and link up

with Fiat or face almost certain liquidation. White House economic adviser Larry Summers said Sunday the Obama administration is holding out hope that Chrysler can avoid bankruptcy court. The UAW late Sunday called the concessions painful but said the deal takes advantage of the Obama administration giving Chrysler and its workers a second chance. The administration in February rejected Chrysler’s restructuring plan and gave the Auburn Hills, Mich., automaker until Thursday to make further cuts and arrange to take on Fiat as a partner. The UAW agreement is seen as a key piece of pulling Chrysler’s plan together, and it’s noteworthy that the UAW said Fiat was involved in the deal. “The provisional agreement provides the framework needed to ensure manufacturing competitiveness and helps to meet the guidelines set forth by the U.S. Treasury Department,” Chrysler Vice President of Labor Relations Al Iacobelli said in a statement. “As a result, Chrysler LLC can continue to pursue a partnership with Fiat SpA.” Separately, Canadian Auto Workers members Sunday ratified a concessionary deal which CAW President Ken Lewenza said makes labor costs competi-

tive with non-unionized Toyota in Canada. The two labor agreements now leave concessions from the holders of $6.9 billion in Chrysler secured debt and the alliance with Fiat as the remaining hurdles to Chrysler qualifying for additional government aid. But debtholders, the company and the Treasury Department remain far apart on terms to swap equity in the company for much of the debt. A counteroffer to the debtholders from the Treasury is expected as early as Monday. UAW Vice President General Holliefield said in a statement that UAW members and retirees are being asked to make extraordinary sacrifices to help Chrysler become viable. “In order for the company to have a sustainable future, all stakeholders will have to show the same willingness to contribute to the common good that has been demonstrated repeatedly by our membership,” he said. Chrysler has been living on $4 billion in U.S. government loans and is expected to get another $500 million. Without government help, it would have gone out of business around the first of the year. The government has said it would be willing to loan Chrysler up to another $6 billion if it is able to complete its restructuring and ink the deal with Fiat.

�� edgy passengers heading south of the border. “I’m worried,” said Sergio Ruiz, 42, who checked in for a flight home to Mexico City after a business trip to Los Angeles. The technology manager said he planned to stay home when he gets back. “I’m going to stay there and not do anything,” he said. Ruiz said his daughter told him by phone that her classes were canceled until at least May 6. Officials said numerous U.S. schools, including St. Francis, would be closed for days. In California, St. Mel’s Catholic School in Fair Oaks, near Sacramento, was closed until at least Thursday while health officials determine if a seventh-grader has a flu linked to the outbreak. Near San Antonio, all 14 schools in the Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City Independent School District were closed for at least the next week after two students at a Cibolo high school caught the virus. The mayor of Cibolo closed city parks and asked churches to postpone activities. The mayor of Schertz, meanwhile, asked residents to refrain from public gatherings, if possible. A judge in Bexar County, which includes San Antonio, asked county employees who live in Guadalupe County and feel ill with flu-like systems to not report to work. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Sunday that many New York victims are recovering, but that some family members of students also had flu symptoms, “suggesting it is spread-

ing person to person.” Gov. David Paterson said 1,500 treatment courses of the antiviral Tamiflu had been sent to New York City; it wasn’t immediately clear if hospitals were using the doses. Infectiousdisease specialists, epidemiologists and disaster preparedness workers have been dispatched to New York to monitor and respond to possible flu cases.

Cleaning crews spent the day scrubbing down every desk, chair and classroom at a New York City high school. Infected students wore surgical masks as they recovered in their beds. Anxious parents woke their children at night to check their temperature. The same strain of swine flu that was suspected in the deaths of 103 people in Mexico has infected at least eight students at a large Roman Catholic high school in Queens, and possibly more than 100. About a dozen students from St. Francis Preparatory school apparently brought back the virus after spending a week in Cancun for spring break. All of the cases were mild. Swine flu has been confirmed in at least 20 people in the U.S., also in Kansas, California, Texas and Ohio. Many of the victims had recently visited Mexico. The federal government declared a public health emergency Sunday to respond to the outbreak. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said roughly 12 million doses of the drug Tamiflu will be moved from a federal stockpile to places where states can quickly get their share. Several governors requested medication and masks. Meanwhile, health officials nationwide were monitoring the outbreak, with many saying it was not a question of whether their state would be affected but when cases would surface. Health officials along the U.S.-Mexico border were asking health care providers to take respiratory samples from patients who appear to have the flu. Travelers were being asked if they visited flu-stricken areas. In San Diego, signs posted at border crossings, airports and other transportation hubs advised people to “cover your cough.” At Los Angeles International Airport, Alba Velez, 43, and her husband Enrique, 46, were wearing blue face masks Sunday when they emerged from the arrival gate after a trip to Mexico. The Los Angeles couple hadn’t seen anyone sick while in Guadalajara but were nervous because of the stream of information about new cases. “Most of the cases were in Mexico City,” Enrique Velez said, adding that the couple were wearing the masks because they’re “just cautious.” It was a different story for

The United States is “relatively close” to making decisions on what to do with an initial group of Guantanamo Bay detainees, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said Sunday. Holder spoke during a flight to London, the first of several stops where he will visit with European Holder leaders to discuss terrorism, drugs and cyber-crime. The attorney general did not say how much longer he thought it would take to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility in Cuba. Before officials can meet President Barack Obama’s January deadline, the U.S. must first decide which detainees to put on trial and which to release to the U.S. or other countries.

torture, execution and palace intrigue. The Obama administration is edging toward taking some Guantanamo prisoners to the U.S., most likely to Virginia. They are Chinese Muslims known as Uighurs, and their supporters say they never should have been at Guantanamo in the first place. Republicans in Congress say Guantanamo should remain in operation and are mobilizing to fight the release of detainees into the United States. Against that backdrop, Holder hoped to reassure skeptical Europeans without generating too much public opposition back home. After meetings in London and Prague, the attorney general is to give a speech Wednesday night in Berlin about Guantanamo. Austria’s interior minister, Maria Fekter, has insisted her country would not take any prisoners. “If the detainees are no longer dangerous, why don’t they stay in the U.S.?” she asked.

Clinton: US won’t ‘sell out’ Lebanon

Holder said the first step is to decide how many total detainees will be set free. “We’re doing these all on a rolling basis,” he said. “I think we’re probably relatively close to making some calls.” The attorney general has called the Guantanamo work the toughest part of his job. After eight years in which the previous Bush administration alienated European nations on issues such as the Iraq war and Guantanamo Bay, the Obama administration is trying to strengthen those ties. “I don’t think they’re looking for as much of American leadership as a partnership,” Holder said. After arriving in London on Sunday night, the attorney general and his staffers took a tour of the Tower of London — home of The Bloody Tower, a historic torture site. The tower visit is standard fare for tourists, but one loaded with extra meaning for Holder, who listened quietly to tales of

The June 7 vote could boost the Iranian-backed Hezbollah and its allies, possibly paving the way for renewed Syrian influence Clinton of Lebanon. “The people of Lebanon must be able to choose their own representatives in open and fair elections without the specter of violence or intimidation and free of outside interference,” Clinton told a news conference after meeting with President Michel Suleiman. “Beyond the elections, we will continue to support the voices of moderation in Lebanon and the responsible institutions of the Lebanese state they are working hard to build. Our ongoing support for the Lebanese armed forces remains a pillar of our bilateral cooperation,” she added. Syria dominated Lebanon for nearly three decades before it was forced to withdraw its tens of thousands of troops four years ago in the wake of the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. There have been concerns among anti-Syrian factions in the pro-U.S. parliamentary majority that the Obama administration’s talks with Syria could weaken American support for Lebanon. In a possible sign of a new diplomatic openness between

the U.S. and Syria, American officials noted that Clinton’s Air Force plane flew to Lebanon from Kuwait directly through Syrian airspace, instead of bypassing it as such flights usually do. Clinton returned to Washington on Sunday night. Clinton said she delivered a letter from Obama to Suleiman expressing strong support for a free, sovereign and independent Lebanon. She said U.S. attempts to engage Syria and Iran are not being done at the expense of that support. “There is nothing that we would do in any way that would undermine Lebanon’s sovereignty,” Clinton said. “I want to assure any Lebanese citizen that the United States will never make any deal with Syria that sells out Lebanon and the Lebanese people. You have been through too much, and it is only right that you are given a chance to make your own decisions,” Clinton said. “It’s a complicated neighborhood you live in, and you have the right to your own future,” she added. Hezbollah spokesman Ibrahim Mussawi said Clinton’s visit could have a negative impact on the pro-U.S. factions in the country. Speaking on the group’s Al-Manar TV after Clinton arrived, Mussawi said it was too early to tell whether the Obama administration has reassessed its policy.

Salazar relishing role as favorite

ayden High School senior Holli Salazar likes to play coy when the mention of back-to-back state shot put titles come up. Initially, she won’t admit she’s the favorite in Class 2A. She’ll talk about how everybody else has improved and works just as hard as she does. She’ll say she doesn’t want to be cocky about throwing the shot much farther than anyone else. She won’t let the fact that she’s already going to Colorado State University-Pueblo to throw the shot and possibly the hammer make her say she’s the favorite. But press her, and Salazar admits anything less than a state championship “would be a huge disappointment.” Her personal best throw of 42 feet, 2 inches isn’t even close to enough for her. She’s already seen a girl in Class 4A throwing in the 43foot range. Salazar, who had the longest throw in the state last year, wants to not just be the best in Class 2A, but in the entire state. She’s not just eyeing a second state title, but the Class 2A state record of 43-3. And that’s the thing about Salazar. That’s what makes her one of the best athletes in the state. Anyone who saw her during the volleyball and basketball seasons knows how competitive she is. Not winning is a huge letdown for her. It was just two years ago at the Clint Wells Invitational track meet in Craig, where Salazar easily won Friday, where the disenchantment of losing set in. Salazar didn’t hit the prequalifying state mark despite her best efforts that day. The look on her face told the story of just how competitive See Graham, page 24

The Detroit Pistons’ Richard Hamilton, right, guards the Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James during Game 4 of the Eastern Conference playoffs at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Auburn Hills, Mich., on Sunday. Cleveland defeated Detroit, 99-78, and eliminated the Pistons from the playoffs with a 4-0 first-round sweep.

Cavs sweep Pistons THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUBURN HILLS, MICH.

LeBron James had 36 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists to lead Cleveland to a 99-78 win and first-round sweep of Detroit. The top-seeded Cavs might be off for more than a week, waiting for Atlanta or Miami to advance.

NBA PLAYOFF ROUNDUP Detroit, meanwhile, will have its longest offseason since 2001 and about $20 million in salary-cap space to rebuild a once-proud team. Mo Williams scored a career playoff-high 24 for the Cavs. Detroit’s Antonio McDyess had 26 points.

Bulls 121, Celtics 118 CHICAGO

Ben Gordon scored 22 points, hitting the tying 3pointer in the first overtime, and the Chicago Bulls beat the Boston Celtics, 121-118, in double overtime Sunday to tie their first-round series at two games apiece. Derrick Rose added 23

points, 11 rebounds and nine assists. John Salmons scored 20 points after a slow start, hitting four free throws in the final 26 seconds of the game and blocking Paul Pierce’s tying 3-pointer. Boston’s Ray Allen buried a 3-pointer with 9.8 seconds left in regulation to tie it at 96, See Playoffs, page 24

McDaniels’ 1st draft does little for needs Arnie Stapleton

With one notable exception, Josh McDaniels came out of his first draft with the same big question mark he had coming in: his defensive front seven. “Yeah, it still is,” McDaniels said Sunday. “The defensive line and linebacking corps haven’t played together. It’s

NFL DRAFT always going to be that way. When you change a scheme, bring in new players and then practice a whole bunch of times and never hit anybody, I don’t know how much information you’re going to gather about them.” As McDaniels noted before the draft, the hardest position

to evaluate is linemen who are running around in shorts in April without anybody to hit. He knows what he has in his stout offensive line that allowed just 12 sacks last year. But his defensive front seven is a mystery. He’s switching from the old four-man front to a 3-4 alignment, and nobody knows who those seven starters will be come August. About all any-

body knows is the Broncos will be beefier in the front seven than they were last year. “And again, you can’t always address everything you want to” in the draft, McDaniels said. “It’s the way the draft is. Where’s the depth?” Certainly not at defensive end/outside linebacker, in McDaniels’ view. See Broncos, page 24

Pierce led Boston with 29 points, although he was just 9-for-24. Ray Allen added 28, and Rajon Rondo again hounded the Bulls, finishing with 25 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists.

Salazar really is. She walked from the throwing pit across to hill below the parking lot. She wouldn’t talk to anyone. She wouldn’t smile, and the last thing she wanted to talk about was not making the mark and failing. But from that point on, it was evident Salazar was intent on not losing again. She

went through her junior year, showed up to the state meet and blew everyone out of the ring. Now, there is an aura around Salazar when she throws. People and coaches from other schools stop and watch. So even when the competition isn’t up to her level, much like Friday’s meet in Craig, Salazar still threw like it was the state championship.

The Houston Rockets are one win away from finally escaping the first round, after Yao Ming had 21 points and 12 rebounds and the Rockets took a 3-1 lead. Luis Scola scored 17 points and Shane Battier added 14 points and six assists for the Rockets, who snapped a sixgame losing streak in Game 4s, coinciding with their 0-6 record in first-round series since 1998. Game 5 is Tuesday night in Portland.

McDaniels uses 6 draft picks on offense

“I don’t think this was a very deep draft in terms of players who would have fit our system in those areas,” McDaniels suggested. “If it’s not there, you’re not going to just go chasing it and draft a bunch of guys that say DT or tight end or wide receiver by their name. It doesn’t mean they’re a good player.” So, instead of addressing his biggest needs in his first draft, McDaniels used six of his 10 selections on offense. He traded up four times, three of them to take an offensive player. That doesn’t mean he’s standing pat with the front seven he’s got. He’ll scour college and veteran free agents to possibly add to the mix. McDaniels did land three potential starters with his first three picks, Georgia running back Knowshon Moreno and pass-rusher Robert Ayers, of Tennessee, in the first round and Wake Forest shutdown cornerback Alphonso Smith in the second. But at what cost? The Broncos moved up to grab Smith by trading their No. 1 pick in next year’s draft to Seattle. Given the Broncos’ brutal schedule and suspect front seven, that could end up being a top-10 selection that landed in the Seahawks’ lap. “It speaks volumes that

Coach McDaniels and the Broncos staff thought I was a first-round talent so they gave up a first-round pick for me,” Smith said. “Hopefully it won’t be so controversial after this season.” The Broncos still own the Bears’ first-rounder, which they received in the Jay Cutler trade. Fans and critics are blasting the Broncos for not sending Seattle the lesser of their two picks in 2010. “There was a little discussion about that,” McDaniels said. “But we agreed that it could be ours after talking it through with the other team. We felt like, that’s OK, we’ll roll the dice.” McDaniels also sent his two third-rounders to Pittsburgh in order to move up and select blocking tight end Richard Quinn with the last pick of Day 1. The surprises continued Sunday with the additions of Notre Dame safety David Bruton and Iowa offensive guard Seth Olsen in the fourth round, wide receiver Kenny McKinley of South Carolina in the fifth and TCU center Blake Schlueter in the seventh. The Broncos also moved up in the sixth round to draft Fresno State quarterback Tom Brandstater, a deal that cost them one of their two seventhrounders and a fifth-round pick next year.

Brandstater (6-foot-5, 222 pounds) is expected to learn the ropes for at least a year while either Kyle Orton or Chris Simms starts next season. “Any time you’re dealing with a rookie player, there’s no guarantee he’s going to compete immediately to play, and I don’t know that I’ve ever been around any rookie quarterback who’s done that,” McDaniels said. Brandstater said he’s eager to learn from McDaniels, who tutored Tom Brady and Matt Cassel as New England’s offensive coordinator. Although he’ll also get some looks at linebacker, Ayers will start out at defensive end and the five-technique position, where he would line up over the guard’s outside shoulder in a 3-4 alignment, something he never did in college. McDaniels “looked at me as a guy that could do multiple things, can rush from multiple positions,” Ayers said. McDaniels, 33, has added 26 players since taking over from Mike Shanahan in January. “From the get-go, we targeted a certain type of player, tough, smart, competitive, versatile, good person that loves football and wants to win,” McDaniels said. “We think we brought in those types of free agents. We think we drafted 10 players that fit that mold also. The college free agents, hopefully will be the exact same.”

Action would boost cold-case unit’s budget �� 20458105

��

Death penalty continued from 1

��

“I do not support repealing the death penalty,” 14th Judicial District Attorney Elizabeth Oldham, a Republican, said Friday. “Philosophically, I do agree with the death penalty, but I have not encountered a case where I thought it was appropriate. … I think it should only be used in the rarest of circumstances.” Oldham cited cases involving mutilation, torture and multiple victims as those that might warrant the death penalty. Colorado’s Republican Attorney General John Suthers also opposes the proposed law and has said death is the appropriate punishment for crimes such as terrorism, mass violence and killing witnesses. Gov. Bill Ritter, a Democrat and former prosecutor, has not yet taken a stance on the bill that could land on his desk before the end of the legislative session. Colorado has executed only one person in about 40 years,

but Baumgardner said that is not a good argument for repealing capital punishment. “The death penalty was more of a deterrent than the actual use of it,” he said Friday. “If there’s not that consequence … maybe (criminals) will commit that crime they normally wouldn’t have committed because of the deterrent.” Oldham agreed that there is a deterrence element to the death penalty, but she said she would never leverage it for bargaining purposes. “I do think there is a deterrence effect to it,” Oldham said, but “I personally would not use the threat of a death penalty to bring about some sort of a plea agreement.” Families of Homicide Victims and Missing Persons supports the bill because of the enormous allocation it would mean for CBI’s cold-case unit. There are about 1,500 unsolved murders statewide. “This is a very heartening development, not only for the families of these victims whose killers have never been prosecuted, but also for all the Coloradans who live in the communities that have been terrorized by the realization that we have killers walking among us and murderers living in our neighborhoods,” Howard Morton, executive director of the organization, said in a state-

ment. “This vote by the House sends the strong message that we will no longer take a passive approach to old, unsolved murders. Colorado now intends to be proactive in going after these killers.” According to a fiscal analysis of H.B. 1274, repealing the death penalty would save the state more than $1 million each of the next two fiscal years. The cold-case unit’s budget would increase from $68,000 and one full-time employee to $833,376 and 8 full-time employees. Baumgardner said he is skeptical that the windfall would do much good. “Either you solve them or you don’t,” he said. Baumgardner said he is more supportive of another piece of controversial legislation that would allow for the taking of DNA evidence from people arrested on a felony charge. That would change existing law that allows the state to take DNA evidence only after a person has been convicted. “I think we would be able to catch criminals faster if we used that money for DNA testing,” Baumgardner said. Senate Bill 241, also known as Katie’s Law, has received preliminary approval in the Senate. It must receive final approval there before being sent to the House. The Colorado General Assembly is scheduled to adjourn May 6. — To reach Brandon Gee, call 871-4210 or e-mail bgee@steamboatpilot.com

We can stop this behavior Monday Medical continued from 2 age DUI is a social drinker who is “just a victim of a cop’s quota.” In reality, intoxicated drivers are likely to be repeat offenders who are deadly to us all. By the way, about that “quota” that is commonly talked about: DUI is one of the most underenforced crimes known. It is estimated that for every DUI arrest, there are 1,200 non-apprehended deadly drunk drivers who won’t get stopped. Most importantly, it is a complete myth that we can’t stop this deadly, immature, crimi-

nal behavior in our society. We can. We simply have to demand that the DUI laws be vigorously enforced. And we must take the attitude that drinking and driving is socially intolerable. It is past time that we don’t put up with it anymore. DUI offenders should hear this from everyone they encounter. Repeatedly. What they should never hear is, “Now you’re a local, and you are a victim of a quota.” Tom Traynor, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist and has taught DUI classes in Steamboat Springs for 32 years.
