Notes from Operation Pickup

The following report summarizes the surveillance operation conducted by P.I. Palmer on a typical afternoon as parents picked up their children after school. Palmer donned the regulation school surveillance outfit: Crocs, oversized hoodie, iPod and jeans belted around her knees to blend in with the crowd. The situation was perilous, uncertain and extreme — but, thanks to the crossing guards, far from hopeless. At 15:19, they assumed their positions wearing bright orange vests to direct the most competent and brilliantly led Operation Pickup the Steamboat Springs School District has ever seen. 14:59: Parent maneuvers began. Three SUVs pulled into the designated middle school lanes and assumed the “wait-foryour-kids” position. While waiting, they engaged in non-threatening behavior such as reading the newspaper, making phone calls, listening to NPR and dog petting. 15:05: More SUVs arrived. 15:07: Subarus arrived. 15:08: Big Yellow Twinkies (Code name for school buses)

LIFE IN THE ’BOAT

Joanne Palmer arrived. 15:09: Hybrids arrived, assumed their positions. 15:10: Lone politically correct parent arrived on bicycle to ride home with offspring. 15:11: Audis arrived. 15:13: Red alert. Beep, beep. Car abandoned in middle school lane. Photograph of license plate is taken and transmitted to district office. 15:14: Suburbans arrived. 15:15: Elementary school students released! Students race out the door as if fleeing a house on fire. The boys push and punch, and girls, well, the girls do not. 15:19: Crossing guards arrived, assumed position. 15:20: Middle school students, camouflaged in hoodies, exit the building. 15:22: Overheard conversation picked up on ‘listening device’ installed in secret location No. 22JJt5. Parent: “How about a haircut after school?” Child: “Did you know I can say, ‘no’ backwards? Onooooooo!” Did you know ‘no’ can be a 16-syllable word? 15:24: Long line of SUVs

observed on Amethyst Drive. Parent talking on cell phone rearended another car. Loud argument erupted. 15:26: Students loaded onto Big Yellow Twinkies for safe transport home. 15:27: Subaru breaks down in parking lot, requires jump start from Suburban. 15:30: Big Yellow Twinkies start up. 15:31: Remaining cars in parking lots disregard crossing guards and pull out in front of Twinkies. 15:40: Teenager Audio Test is activated, dispersing all but three remaining students. 15:41: P.I. Palmer convinces three remaining students to remove iPod headphones and encourages them to leave the premises. Findings: Sixty-one parents observed talking on cell phones. Five elementary school cars in the middle school lanes. Two drivers ignored “do not abandon vehicle” signs and abandoned vehicles. Three lost lacrosse sticks, one French horn, six hoodies, one sneaker with a fluorescent shoelace and 13 backpacks are transported to lost and found.

County appreciates DA’s cuts Zach Fridell

By the numbers

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Fourteenth Judicial District Attorney Elizabeth Oldham said her office may not be returning long-distance phone calls as often and may have to skimp on office supplies in the coming year, in the face of tough budget cuts. Oldham presented a list of $42,700 in cuts and savings from Oldham her office’s operational budget to a thankful Routt County Board of Commissioners during a meeting Tuesday. While the commissioners are not able to cut the personnel budget of the DA’s office without the agreement of the other two counties in the district — Moffat and Grand — Oldham presented a list of savings her office can make to help the county’s budget crunch. The list includes $10,000

Savings presented by 14th Judicial District Attorney Elizabeth Oldham ■ $1,000 accounting ■ $3,000 office supplies ■ $1,000 office equipment ■ $500 phones ■ $10,000 salary overage ■ $8,200 vacancy for victim/witness coordinator in Grand County ■ $19,000 reimbursement (estimate of expected returns after audit)

in salary overages that will be removed, $8,200 saved in Routt County by not filling a vacancy in Grand County and even $500 in potential savings in phone calls. “We may not be returning long-distance phone calls as much,” Oldham told the commissioners. Commissioners, who recently have had to implement furloughs and pay cuts for county staff, said the gesture was appreciated. “Thank you for doing this without us even asking you to,” Commissioner Nancy Stahoviak said. Oldham said that while the

budget cuts will cause difficulty in covering required job duties, overall she was pleased she was able to retain her staff and find cuts in other areas. “I think my employees are incredibly relieved,” she said. Commissioner Doug Monger also told Oldham that the cuts were appreciated and that countywide cuts likely would remain in effect until 2010, although they will be stopped as soon as necessary. “It’s not our hope to continue on with 10 percent pay cuts or furloughs. It’s our hope to end them by 2010. The pay cuts and furloughs are only temporary,” he said. Because the Grand and Moffat county commissioners did not agree to cut the DA’s personnel budget, no DA staff member will have a salary decrease in the coming years. Oldham said the $10,000 cut from salary overages originally was intended to be used for promotions in her staff.

Group to ask for funding Community Cultivation seeks Education Fund Board support

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

After being rejected by the Education Fund Board its first time around, Community Cultivation’s proposal will appear again tonight in front of the full board but with only half the amount of money requested. The group, a vocational skills course for disadvantaged youths in Routt County, originally requested $10,000 for tuition and services, but when the Fund Board voted to keep $1 million in reserves, members also voted to reject the proposal, along with two other community projects. The decision of what to fund with $50,000 in allocated monies was kicked back to the Educational Excellence Committee. That group originally put forward the Community Cultivation program and again forwarded the group’s request for this meeting. “We went and presented again

and just spoke on our program and asked them to reconsider and keep us in the running and they voted us (forward),” said Beth Davison, one of the creators of Community Cultivation. Davison said the group still is only halfway to its goal of $30,000 for the year and that funding has been hard to come by during the economic slump. “Unfortunately, there haven’t been any major funding developments” since the last time they appeared before the board, she said. The group received $1,000 from an Impact 100 grant from the Yampa Valley Community Foundation, but other sources of funding have fallen through even as the group is planning to expand program capacity. “Will it continue to go on if it continues like this? Maybe not. We may not be able to have as many people,” she said. The Fund Board also will consider second-reading requests for $50,000 in staff development in the Steamboat Springs

Hayden’s library leaders are trying to build a book-filled corner into a teen hangout spot. The Hayden Public Library and its board have considered adding a teen area for years, and it’s finally coming together, Library Director Ana Lash said. She plans to include books aimed at teens, a restaurantstyle booth, Tiger-themed decorations and furniture. She hopes to have the teen corner, tentatively called the Tigers’ Den, ready by summer. “We’re spending probably around $4,000, and that’s a lot for us,” Lash said. The corner once included computers on an L-shaped desk. The computers now are gone, and Lash took the teen books out of the children’s section and put them on the desk. That small move has brought in more young adult readers, she said.

OUR VIEW

A well-rounded approach to education

one-size-fits-all approach to public education is not the most effective way of meeting the diverse needs of students, and that’s why we’re encouraged by some of the steps our local school systems have taken to prepare kids for life after AT ISSUE high school. Vocational Vocational and and technical technical education education long have been frowned programs upon by those who think a four-year degree is the only, or OUR VIEW the most likely, path Local school to career success. The districts provide truth is, many skilledworthwhile labor jobs pay high alternatives wages while offering to college long-term stability. Providing that sort of prepatory vocational training also model of allows many of our secondary young people to stay in education. the Yampa Valley long after they collect their high school diplomas. Here in Routt County, our public school districts continue to offer a number of programs that provide valuable career training for those students more interested in entering the work force after high school than getting a post-secondary education. It’s worth acknowledging those programs and the success they

bring to our students and community. In South Routt, 29-year veteran teacher and FFA sponsor Byron Dean has seen hundreds of students pass through Soroco High School’s vocational agriculture program. The program offers two pathways: agriculture science and mechanics. The former includes course offerings about basic plant and animal science, ranch and farm skills and advanced coursework such as pre-veterinary medicine. The latter includes welding and vehicle/equipment maintenance. Each teaches invaluable skills, particularly for the many South Routt students who plan to continue their family ranching and farming operations or work in related fields. Soroco also offers courses in basic carpentry, vocational business and building trades. Before he retires, Dean plans to add a horticulture program to the curriculum, buoyed by a $10,000 grant the school received to build a greenhouse. “A lot of schools are cutting vocational programs, and we’re actually expanding them,” Dean said. Hayden’s technical education programs got a major boost this school year with the opening of the impressive Babson-Carpenter Career and Technical Education Center. The $1.6 million facility offers space for a variety of coursework and hands-on training, including auto mechanics, computer-aided drafting and mechanical drafting and welding. Students from other school districts are

encouraged to enroll in classes there, and several college-level courses also are offered. And then there was this week’s news that Steamboat Springs School District Superintendent Shalee Cunningham plans to double the enrollment capacity of the Yampa Valley School, an alternative high school based in Old Town Steamboat but available to students in all three Routt County public school districts. The school was created three years ago as part of an effort to consolidate the alternative high school programs offered by each district. Cunningham hopes to open up 28 slots for high schoolers who are struggling in the traditional high school setting or are in danger of dropping out. The Yampa Valley School allows for individualized, self-paced instruction for its students. Those who complete the program graduate with a high school diploma — and a statistically greater chance of succeeding in life. There certainly are other local programs that offer career and technical training for Routt County youths, and there are countless area businesses that provide internship and job-training opportunities for students. Each of these programs plays an important role not only for our community, but also in the lives of the individual students who are given different avenues for achieving success.

Other offices in the county, with the exception of communications, normally are open five days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. While their services are important, they are not in the same classification as essential and critical. It also is relatively easy to alter their hours or close for a day to reduce costs. My office is responsible for providing public safety and law enforcement for all the citizens of Routt County. This is a responsibility that exists 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. I also am responsible for the safe, secure operation of the jail for the prisoners, which number from 20 to as many as 70 per day, and for the safety of the deputies who run the jail. The posts that need to be staffed do not change with the number of prisoners we are housing. This is radically different from other services provided by the various offices in the county. The detention deputies also provide Justice Center security, courtroom security, bookings of arrestees and transportation of prisoners to court hearings. We are required to transport prisoners for medical issues and to other housing facilities in Colorado. We also house individuals for mental health and for detoxification. When staffing needs arise for situations such as transports, medical issues, employee sick time or vacation time, deputies are required to work additional hours, which results in overtime or compensatory time, then makes them unavailable for scheduled shifts. To comply with the decision not allowing payment for overtime passed by the Board of County Commissioners, I will not be

able to staff my jail to provide security for the prisoners and assure the safety for my jail deputies. This is why one size does not fit all. Last year, we submitted to the Board of County Commissioners an analysis of our staffing in the jail and justice center using a formula provided by the U.S. Department of Justice, National Institute of Corrections, as it relates to security and safety. Because we knew that we are operating without the appropriate number of deputies, we encouraged them to hire an independent professional to analyze our department. A request for proposal for an independent analysis was sent out, and we received bids from two companies. Interviews were arranged to select one of these companies. Two days before the interviews, the Board of County Commissioners canceled the meetings. Did they cancel the meetings because they didn’t want to see the results? I still support the need for an independent expert to analyze security and the safety needs of the justice center and the jail and the staffing needs of my patrol division. The same issues relate to the staffing of patrol deputies. It is essential that we have at least two deputies on patrol at any given time. This is for the safety of the deputies and to provide a minimum level of public safety and law enforcement to the citizens of Routt County. Routt County is more than 2,200 square miles and has approximately 950 miles of public roads. Currently, I am not allowed to pay overtime for deputy court appearances, special investigative cases and unforeseen public safety issues, which

means I have to give compensatory time off to the deputies, resulting in dramatically reduced hours — or no hours at times — for public safety presence in the county. It is well-known that there is an increase in the need for law enforcement and that public safety issues increase during economic hard times like we are experiencing now. In times like these, public safety needs to be fortified not diminished. The city of Steamboat Springs granted an exemption to the Steamboat Springs Police Department, fire department and transit department as it relates to the furlough program they instituted, to protect the man hours of the public safety departments. For the same reasons, this exemption should apply to the Routt County Sheriff’s Office. Public safety should not be compromised. I hope in the near future that I will meet with the Board of County Commissioners to work out a solution, so I can continue to provide an adequate level of public safety to the citizens of Routt County and to provide an adequate level of backup and safety for my jail deputies and the patrol deputies who are providing the public with safety. There are other things I should be doing or need to be doing in the office in which I was entrusted, but nothing is more important than dealing with the safety of the public and the safety of my employees. I want to hear from the citizens of Routt County. I welcome your questions and comments. Call me at my office 970-879-1090, or better yet, my cell phone at 970-846-1100.

News in brief School district officials welcome CDC flu notice

County officials seek jail, justice center assessment

Routt County office hours change because of furlough

A Steamboat Springs school official responded Tuesday to a notice from the Centers for Disease Control that alleviated its recommendation to close schools if a confirmed case of H1N1, or swine flu, should occur. “School closure is not advised for a suspected or confirmed case of novel influenza A (H1N1) and, in general, is not advised unless there is a magnitude of faculty or student absenteeism that interferes with the school’s ability to function,” the CDC notice reads. Steamboat Springs School District Superintendent Shalee Cunningham sent a letter to parents of local school children stating it now is the school district’s policy to review confirmed cases of swine flu, should any occur, on an individual basis. Cunningham advised parents to plan for a school closure but said such an event is only a possibility. Local health and emergency officials said Tuesday afternoon that no cases of swine flu have been confirmed, or suspected, in Routt County.

County officials said Monday that they plan to conduct an independent assessment of the Routt County Jail and Justice Center. The study originally was planned for last year but was canceled because of its cost. The county has budgeted $10,000 for an assessment of staffing needs in the two facilities, said Tim Winter, the county’s purchasing agent. A request for proposals has been issued. Last year, the county sought a consultant to issue “a report that lists safety and security concerns and a risk assessment of the Detention Facility and Justice Center,” including “anticipated staffing levels and mitigation recommendations for safe and secure facilities.” Routt County Sheriff Gary Wall and the Routt County Board of Commissioners are feuding about the Sheriff’s Office’s budget. Wall is opposing cuts made by the commissioners to confront a multi-million-dollar budget deficit this year. Wall said Monday he would like to see the assessment expanded to include an evaluation of the Sheriff’s Office’s patrol division.

Routt County government’s office hours have changed because of an employee furlough plan adopted by the Board of Commissioners last week. The offices of the assessor, building and plant, clerk and recorder, Colorado State University extension, environmental health, planning, purchasing, road and bridge and treasurer are open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays. The offices of accounting, county attorney, county commissioners, emergency management, human services, information systems, GIS and the Routt County Regional Building Department are open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. The Human Resources Department are open from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. The bacteriological water lab in the Environmental Health Department is open 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Wednesdays. For more information, visit www.co.routt.co.us or call 879-0108.

Rites of passage important to many cultures Editor’s note: Routt County resident Mary Walker works at the Tasaru Girls Rescue Centre in Narok, Kenya. The center provides a safehouse for Maasai girls who have escaped or been rescued from female genital mutilation and forced childhood marriage. Walker’s updates from Kenya appear periodically in the Steamboat Today. Mary Walker SPECIAL TO THE PILOT & TODAY

NAROK, KENYA

I am leaving the Rescue Centre a week earlier than usual. The girls have become accustomed to me sending them off to their boarding schools at the end of each holiday. I know that it is not a good idea, in the big picture of these girls’ lives, for them to get too accustomed to anything, even

my promises that I have every intention of keeping. So this holiday, I prepared them that I was to leave early to meet my husband in New Walker York to attend the bar mitzvah of the son of dear friends. After all, it’s been on the calendar for 13 years. The girls at Tasaru were not pleased that, this time around, it was they who were to send me off from the Rescue Centre. But somehow, across a deep, wide cultural divide, the girls did understand when I told them that I was leaving early in order to attend the “coming of age ceremony,” a “rite of passage,” for the son of friends. This is language that these Maasai girls from the bush in Kenya, many of whom have

undergone a most severe coming of age rite themselves in the form of female genital mutilation, can relate to. They gave me permission to go. I love bar and bat mitzvahs. They are joyous, celebratory moments of extreme pride for the family and friends of the young boy or girl. As I listened to the rabbi, the cantor and the congregation recite passages from the Torah, praise god, sing and pray, I could not avoid comparing this ritual to the practices of the Maasai people. Most Maasais, and most Kenyans, in fact, are deeply devoted Christians. The African Inland Church is the largest of many Christian denominations that are active in Kenya. The praising of god, the desire for peace, justice and the wellbeing of humanity are sentiments shared by Judaism

Town Board to take up issue at May 14 meeting Oak Creek continued from 3 has to take care of,” said Oak Creek Trustee Dave Ege, one of the town’s two police commissioners. “We pay county taxes, but we don’t get as much law enforcement in Oak Creek as somebody would on the furthest reaches of Twentymile Road.” Wall said that because the town is an incorporated municipality, deputies are not required to respond to all calls if the town does not pay for it. As a part of ongoing discussions between the town, the sheriff ’s office and the Routt County Board of Commissioners, Wall’s office developed an estimate of the cost of compete coverage if the town and county were to enter a contract. In a report compiled by Sgt. Miles De Young, the cost of complete coverage of Oak Creek by deputies would be $306,428.11 per year. They reached that figure by adding the estimated $54,958.75 spent by the office in 2008, plus the $251,469.36 it would have cost for deputies to respond to all calls received by the Oak

$300,000 is “a starting point. It depends on the level of service that they want.”

Creek Police Department in the same year. “That’s a starting point,” Wall said about the figure. “It depends on the level of service that they want.” The commissioners would be in charge of coming to an agreement with the town, Wall said, and his office would honor any agreement made. “Once we get a level of service that they want, I think the financial issues are between the town of Oak Creek and the county commissioners,” he said. Oak Creek Mayor J. Elliott said the town doesn’t have the $300,000 that would be required for full service. “We probably have $120,000 in our budget, so we’re going to have to sit down and discuss,”

Elliott said. “What we’d like to do is trim back, where we’d have a code enforcement and dogcatcher type situation that we pay for, and then pay them for additional coverage. Obviously $300,000, that’s considerably over our budget. That is our budget, basically.” Trustee Chuck Wisecup, the second police commissioner, also submitted a grant request to the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services for about $769,000, he said. If the grant is approved, the town could pay for three police officers for three years. If not — the decision should be announced by Sept. 1 — Wisecup said the town wouldn’t be able to pay for full coverage but might be able to rebuild a local police department. “Basically we budgeted money, hopefully, to hire at least one officer,” he said. Wisecup said a community focus group indicated that a separate police force would be preferred, if possible. The Oak Creek Town Board will take up the issue at its next meeting May 14.

and the Maasai people. The importance of ritualizing the coming of age of its young people also is shared by these two cultures. Even the words and prayers are remarkably similar. Sadaka is the name in Hebrew and in Swahili for the offering, the sacrifice, that the faithful give to assist their fellow worshipers. In traditional Maasai culture, a boy is circumcised when he turns 13. Usually this is done in a hospital. Maasai girls are “circumcised” — a disregarding euphemism — any time that fathers decide that a daughter is to be “married” and sold for five cows. Many girls die in the bush from blood loss, shock and infection in the aftermath of being cut; because the cutting is illegal, no one

would dare take their daughter to a hospital. So instead of a joyous occasion, the coming of age of a Maasai girl is marked by secrecy that can prove lifethreatening, unbearable pain, even humiliation. It is considered an insult to her father if a Maasai girl cries out in pain during the cutting. Fortunately, Alternative Rites of Passage are becoming increasingly popular among Maasai people who wish to celebrate the coming of age of their daughters without the cutting of their genitalia. It will be a fine day when all Maasai girls can enjoy the pride of their families, celebrate adulthood, and receive the blessings of their community with their bodies and their spirits intact.

Tener contactos le ayudaría encontrar trabajo Clases acerca curriculums ayudará a los desempleados Nicole Inglis

PARA EL STEAMBOAT TODAY

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Mike “Woody” Bieron lleva consigo su curriculum y carta de presentación en una memoria USB alrededor de su cuello. Si él necesita, él puede parar en el Colorado Workforce Center (Centro de Trabajo de Colorado) en Steamboat Springs e imprimir copias mientras él continúa con su frustrante trabajo de buscar empleo durante esta recesión económica. El 29 de Abril, en la parte de atrás de la librería Epilogue Book Co., Bieron fué a una clase de curriculums hecho a través de Karen Goedert de Resort Recruiters. Bieron ha estado desempleado por tres semanas. “Estoy buscando por algo que sea mejor para mí y que necesite la comunidad,” dijo Bieron. La clase de curriculum, son

de 1:30 a 3:00 pm los miércoles, y se enfocan en como escribir un curriculum y crear una promoción de ventas para el difícil mercado de trabajo hoy en día. “Es muy bueno porque ha habido mucho establecimiento de contactos,” dijo Goedert. “La manera como buscamos trabajo y la manera contratan a gente en esta ciudad es muy diferente, y está cambiando todos los días.” Desde Facebook y Twitter a encontrar nuevos recursos en el Internet y en la comunidad, Goedert enfatizó la importancia de diversificar el enfoque de búsqueda de trabajo. Gente que está buscando trabajo necesitan crear publicidad para sí mismos, siendo creativos, ella dijo, ya sea una tarjeta de presentación memorable o con una buena reseña biográfica en Facebook. Goedert también dijo que a pesar que tener los contactos

��

necesarios siempre ha sido una buena táctica cuando se busca trabajo, construir relaciones y tener contactos es ahora más necesario que nunca. “Los trabajadores no están poniendo anuncios en el periódico porque solo van ha ser bombardeados con curriculums,” dijo Goedert. “Empleadores están llamando a reclutadores y dicen ‘Tenemos está posición abierta, sabes de alguien que podría ser bueno en ella,’ y la gente está consiguiendo trabajos por lo que alguien les comenta.” Chris Painter, director de la biblioteca Bud Werner Memorial, puede atestiguar acerca de las frustraciones de ser un empleador en un mercado de trabajo sobre-saturado con personas que buscan trabajos. La biblioteca tuvo un puesto abierto para catalogar libros de tiempo parcial. Después de poner el anuncio en el periódico, Painter recibió más de 100 aplicaciones y tuvo que detener el proceso para que los oficiales de la biblioteca pudieran ver el montón de currículos. “Típicamente, es muy difícil poder llenar estas posiciones,” dijo Painter. “Entrevistamos a ocho personas para este puesto

y pudimos haber contratado a cualquiera de ellos. En esta ocasión, simplemente habían demasiados candidatos cualificados.” Painter accedió que la mayoría de las posiciones profesionales de la biblioteca sean llenadas a través de recomendaciones y contactos. Como un empleador, Painter aconsejó a los que estén buscando un trabajo encontrar algo que les guste sea lo que escojan. “Creo que es una ventaja mirar porque estas aplicando a ciertos trabajo,” ella dijo. “Algunos de los candidatos que aplicaban al trabajo nos preguntábamos porque querían aplicar a este trabajo. Talvez necesitan trabajar en el supermercado aún así tengas un posgrado, pero si eres dedicado al servicio al consumidor, realmente ayuda a tener un mundo mejor.” En las clases de cómo escribir un curriculum, Goedert dijo que ella no piensa que la economía se va a mejorar. Pero urgió a los que buscan trabajos mantener su mente abierta. “Todavía hay trabajos,” dijo Goedert. “El Banco Millenium abrirá pronto, hay algunos proyectos de construcción todavía. Las cosas aún se siguen

Consejos de trabajo ■ Adapte su carta de presentación al trabajo que está aplicando. ■ Enfóquese en como usted puede ser la respuesta a sus problemas. ■ La carta de presentación es parte de su publicidad personal — si les gusta su carta de presentación, ellos van ha leer su curriculum. ■ Gaste por lo menos tres horas por trabajo al que aplica para revisar su curriculum y adaptarlo a cada posición. ■ Use herramientas para establecer contactos como Facebook y LinkedIn, pero tenga cuidado con la información personal que comparta, así como las fotos o cosas que no quisiera que su abuela supiera. ■ Manténgase positivo reafirmando sus metas.

moviendo, solamente que no a la velocidad de antes.” Aún así, las personas que buscan trabajo y van a estas clases en Epilogue siguen optimistas. Bieron dijo que esta esperanzado, y piensa que todo sucede por una razón. “Talvez el trabajo que tuve no era para mí,” él dijo. “El trabajo que debo tener es el próximo. Tengo mucha fe a lo que se me viene en el horizonte.”

Buy Local. Get Value.

| 13

Steamboat Springs businesses deliver quality and customer satisfaction Community, trust and quality. These three simple words have an important purpose — value! When purchasing anything these days, one of the most important factors to consider is the value you get. Who you buy a product from, more than ever, can make a big difference in a customer’s experience; not only at the time of sale but months and even years down the road. Local business owners understand that when they do business within our community, their reputations are on the line. What Steamboat Springs’ local retailers can deliver is a true sense of community, trust and quality that may not be found when doing business with stores far from home. Based on accessibility and quality of products, Steamboat businesses have the upper hand.

Value, Value, Value One Steamboat Springs business that is tackling the misconceptions of local business having less selection and higher prices is Affordable Flooring Warehouse. Affordable Flooring Warehouse opened in the Copper Ridge Business Park in March 2006, with more than 25 years of experience in the flooring business. “The entire concept of Affordable Flooring Warehouse is to be able to provide the Yampa Valley with a “big box” or “city” flooring selection and prices, but with small town, local friendly service,” says Affordable Flooring Warehouse owner Bill Stein. “We offer everything that flooring stores in bigger markets do — full lines of carpet, tile, wood, laminate, fiber floor, area rugs and supplies all

At a glance • Your local businesses are there to service the products you buy. • You can find unique gifts and services that don’t exist anywhere else. • You can find comparable pricing on many products and save money that would be spent on travel elsewhere. • The people you buy from are your friends and neighbors — people you can trust. • There are more products and services here than you think — it makes sense to check before you shop elsewhere.

from major manufacturers.” With a huge inventory, years of experience and a personal commitment to fostering a prosperous business community, Stein asks whether it is worth it to buy goods outside our region. “Why add more trouble to the process by driving out of town, paying for gas and hassling with people you don’t know, when you could get the same product here, for an equivalent price and with a business that supports you and the community we live in?” Stein asks. “We hope people realize that whenever they can, to please keep their dollars here in our community. Without local support, businesses like ours in this valley cannot survive.” While remodeling their home, Steamboat Springs’ residents Craig and Andy Kennedy found the value they were looking for while staying within their budget by purchasing materials at Affordable Flooring Warehouse. “Honestly, we looked all over for floor materials, and the best prices we found were right here in town,” Craig Kennedy said. “We always prefer to buy local, so when we found this great deal, it was an easy decision.”

MOLLY KILLIEN/STEAMBOAT SPRINGS CHAMBER RESORT ASSOCIATION

Bill Stein, owner of Affordable Flooring Warehouse, offers competitive pricing and variety.The business is a great example of Buy Local. Get Value.

More than the sale The “Buy Local” concept is more than a slogan to Steamboat Motors owner Jeff Steinke; it is a way of life. He and his staff work hard to provide exceptional value and unprecedented quality. “When making a purchase, a lot of people are looking for immediate gratification instead of thinking about the big picture,” Steinke notes. “When people recognize that their dollars affect their neighbors, they will help businesses become more viable and choose to buy locally.” Customers’ dollars are directly tied to their loyalty. If a customer has a good experience and feels

��

that he or she got a good value, he or she will tell friends and return to the business. On the flip side, a negative experience can hinder the reputation of a business. Steinke says that only 10 percent of a consumer’s experience is buying the product. The other 90 percent takes place after the sale with maintenance, service and the overall experience. “The biggest value for our customers isn’t necessarily the sale of the automobile. The true value within our company comes in the support and assistance after the sale,” Steinke notes. “Our company will be here for the long haul. Our customers know they will get

value from us because we are their neighbors and their friends. We are invested in our customers; we wouldn’t have it any other way.” Community, trust and quality are the cornerstones to good business practices. Find the value you are looking for by shopping in the Yampa Valley. The Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association urges you to look locally first before making any purchases. You may be surprised not only at the selection in town, but you can rest assured that when you do business here, you will receive the highest quality and value; local businesses depend on it.

Thunderhead’s gross square footage includes 100 residential units totaling about 230,000 square feet and about 13,000 square feet of commercial space in two buildings more than 100 feet tall. It could bring a new luxury standard to the base of Steamboat Ski Area because Atira has said it plans to build Thunderhead to a five-star standard and the The Ritz-Carlton has signed a letter of intent to operate the finished project. The project will seek a silver Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification from the U.S. Green Building Council and will donate an 11,000-square-foot space to Yampa Valley Medical Center to relocate its injured skier transport center to a permanent location. Atira Vice President of Development Mark Mathews said these and other public benefits make up for the project’s requested variances, including the height of the buildings, which are about 30 feet higher than code. Ivancie said he thinks the project is one story too high. “I have not been convinced it’s needed,” he said. Others, however, noted that city plans encourage dense projects in the area and that the city’s planning staff is in the process of revising its base area design standards with an increased height limit. “This is what you do to create that vibrancy,” Hermacinski said about Thunderhead’s height, “and it can be quite beautiful.” Attorney Paul Sachs, representing homeowners in the neighboring Kutuk Condominiums, said Atira’s additional affordable housing contribution was a “completely inadequate response” to concerns about height, commercial space and Atira’s plans to build a private turnaround in the public right of way.

The promenade and daylighting of Burgess Creek through the base area are projects of the Steamboat Urban renewal authority, which collects tax increments within its base area boundaries to fund public improvement projects in the area. The URA is on track to run out of money this year, but council voted, 7-0, on Tuesday to support a recommendation by the URA’s advisory committee to issue a $12.5 million bond this year and keep the momentum of projects alive. In the face of a sour economy, the city has erred on the side of caution in its recent financial decisions. But investment at the base of Steamboat Ski Area has been deemed so important to the community’s long-term economic vitality that council members unanimously were willing to issue the debt that interim Finance Director Bob

��

Litzau said he would recommend delaying for a year “if I looked at it only on a strictly fiscal basis.” The bond measure will at last bring the promenade, the URA’s flagship project, to fruition. The project has been sidelined in favor of smaller ones since the URA was created in 2005, as numerous designs and lengths of the promenade were debated among Urban Redevelopment Area Advisory Committee, city officials and adjacent property owners. A key vote by Torian Plum home and business owners earlier this year produced at long last an agreed-upon alignment and grade for the broad walkway that will connect One Steamboat Place and Gondola Square with the north side of the ski base that includes Torian and, eventually, Thunderhead. The only thing missing was money. If the bond is successfully issued this year, Redevelopment Coordinator Joe Kracum said the promenade, with a snowmelt system, will be built in advance of the 2011-12 ski season. Burgess Creek will be flowing above ground through the area by the spring of 2012, Kracum said. Realization of Thunderhead will probably come later. Developers The Atira Group requested a two-year extension of the city’s three-year vesting period for development approvals. “We want to be ready with an approved project when the economy turns around,” Mathews said. Council did not grant Atira’s request to be allowed five years before it has to pull a building permit for Thunderhead, but it did give the city’s planning director the authority to administratively approve a maximum of two, two-year extensions of the vesting period.

“Instead of addressing your concerns, they’ve given you $235,000 to proceed in exactly the same manner,” Sachs said. Attorney Ron Smith, representing the homeowners in the Bronze Tree Condominiums, said the contribution was a pittance compared to the project’s total sales value, which he estimated at $290 million. Although he voted in favor of the project, Magill said he remains disappointed in the low level of commercial space in Thunderhead. Hermacinski said she hopes to see some form of nightlife in Ski Time Square, Atira’s other planned base-area redevelopment project. Mathews said the level of commercial space proposed was based on retail studies of the area. “Our goal is to have busy shops and restaurants … rather than having vacant storefronts and empty retail space,” he said.

Drill permits down in Moffat CRAIG

What is known: Applications for permits to drill in Moffat County are down this year. What is unknown: what that decline means for Moffat County. In Moffat County, energy companies filed 136 applications in 2006, 74 in 2007, 57 in 2008 and six this year, as of Tuesday. “It kind of seems like they took a dive, doesn’t it?” said Jeff Comstock, Moffat County Natural Resources Department director. In prior years, Comstock said that declining trend would be simple to analyze. Not so much anymore. “Three years ago, I’d have sat here and told you it meant less revenue in the future,” he said. “Now, I don’t know. It’d be easy to look at these numbers and say, ‘Well, they’re down, that’s bad for the county.’ “There’s so many more factors, that’s hard to say.” The natural gas market is among the most volatile in the country, Comstock said. Because the county’s tax revenue depends on the selling price of gas, it rides the same up and down waves. What the decline does suggest is that companies aren’t willing to spend extra money on exploratory projects, which account for the vast majority of drilling operations in the county, Comstock said. With the economy down, cash hard to come by and companies having to sell for low prices in the Rocky Mountain region, there isn’t much incentive for industry to go anywhere but where there

are large, proven quantities of resources, Comstock said. “It doesn’t help any that Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Texas have opened up with these huge gas shale areas,” he added. “People go where the money is easy.” A possible exception to Moffat County’s reputation as an exploratory region is the Hiawatha area northwest of Craig. Companies have been drilling there since the 1940s, Comstock said. Perhaps not coincidentally, Wexpro, which holds several leases in Hiawatha, accounts for more than 20 of the 27 pending drilling permits in the county, he added. Drilling applications, however, only predict the future of drilling. The economy is to the point where the future isn’t Commissioner Tom Gray’s biggest concern. He worries whether the present state of the industry will hold. The natural resource industry — such as oil and gas companies, but not including the Tri-State Generation & Transmission power plant — accounted for 33 percent of the county’s total property taxes in 2008, and Gray expects them to continue to be a key part of the local economy. But he has reason to be uneasy about the immediate future. “We know that the selling price is way less, and we’ve had input from some companies that they’ve shut down a lot of their production,” Gray said. Less gas being sold for lower prices would be a double whammy on the county’s tax base, he said, but it probably wouldn’t be felt until 2010 or 2011. Companies pay taxes on

natural gas two years after the product is sold. The county should know June 5 what kind of hole 2010 sits in. That is when the Moffat County Assessor’s Office plans to finish compiling tax data submitted by natural gas companies last month. The reduction in drilling permits still is an important issue the county will watch, Gray said, but the focus now is for the county to keep what it has. “When we were in a growth mode two years ago, we were looking at that as future revenue and future growth,” he said. “That issue isn’t any less important. The reason you hear us focusing more on production now is because we’re in a mode where we have to watch our revenue streams.”

Some speed-limit signs in local neighborhoods could start to disappear, as county officials move to reduce the overall number of signs. “What we’re proposing to do is eliminate 150 speed-limit signs and replace them with 50 others that say, “unless otherwise posted,” county engineer Rick Pocius said at a county commissioner work session last week. The change would apply only to unincorporated areas of the county, not the towns. Under state statute, the speed limit in residential areas is 30 mph, unless otherwise posted. Alternate speeds must be supported by an engineering study, Pocius explained. “We’ve got speed-limit signs from 10 to 30 mph scattered all over,” Pocius said. “As an example, in Summit Cove, there are 34 speed-limit signs.” They could be replaced with three or four signs, resulting in a longterm cost savings for the county, Pocius said.

The move partly is driven by a state law that requires updated signs to meet visibility standards. The new signs are expensive. Maintaining the existing signs also requires manpower and money. Overall, the county could save about $5,000, Pocius said. Commissioners anticipated some criticism, or at least questions, from residents. “Can we legally prohibit maternal comment,” commissioner Bob French joked, expecting to get an earful from concerned moms. “It seems to me there are a lot of residential areas where people have said they don’t want cars coming through at 30 mph.” That may be true, but Pocius explained again that posting speed limits less than the statemandated 30 mph must be supported by evidence showing why the lower limit is needed. “We will get calls,” said commissioner Thomas Davidson. “Way back when, speed-limit signs were handed out as favors to people who called and said: “Do something, Mr. County Commissioner. With all due respect, that’s not the way to put

up speed-limit signs,” Davidson said. Pocius said that, although there is a perception of widespread speeding in neighborhoods such as Summit Cove, traffic studies show otherwise. The small percentage of speeders aren’t deterred by speed limit signs, he said. Sheriff John Minor said he disagrees with the commissioners. “I don’t think we should reduce the number of signs,” Minor said. “I can only imagine the uproar. Some of the neighborhood streets in question are narrow, with lots of kids playing outside,” said Minor, who happens to live in Summit Cove. Even if there haven’t been specific engineering studies, residents have said in the past that the lower speed limits on their streets are a common sense approach to keeping their kids safe. The plan for now is to remove the older signs as they get old and faded. Some of them simply won’t be replaced, while other signs will be updated with the “unless otherwise posted” message, county officials said.

Death penalty fight still on State lawmakers plan to meet today to decide about bill The fight concerning a proposal to abolish the death penalty in Colorado is going down to the wire. State lawmakers plan to meet this morning, the final day of the legislative session, to decide whether to revive a bill that originally would have ended the death penalty and used the savings to fund a statewide cold case unit. That bill unraveled this week in the Senate where lawmakers voted to scrap the death penalty ban and instead impose a series of new fees to fund investigations of unsolved cases. The original bill is sponsored by Rep. Paul Weissmann, D-Boulder, and Sen. Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, both strong opponents of the death penalty. They expect the conference committee appointed by House and

said Morton, whose eldest son was killed at age 18 more than 30 years ago. The teen’s killer has not been found. Any version of the bill backed by the conference committee still would have to go back to the House and Senate for a vote. Carroll acknowledged that could mean another cliffhanger vote. The original bill passed the House by just one vote last month. Ed Vigil, D-Fort Garland, agonized for nearly a minute as the rest of the chamber watched before he pushed his green button to vote yes. In the Senate, Democratic Sen. John Morse, a former police chief, offered a surprise amendment after two hours of debate. It imposed new fees on traffic tickets, criminal convictions and park and wildlife citations which he said would be used to give grants to local law enforcement agencies to solve cold cases.

Sheriff’s deputies arrested 52-year-old Roy Ragas late Monday on suspicion of felony menacing. Cmdr. Rick Brough said the cyclist motioned for Ragas to move over after Ragas drove within three to four feet of the bike. Brough said that

after Ragas passed the bicycle, he turned around a drove next to it. Brough says an argument broke out and Ragas brandished a handgun and threatened the bike rider. Ragas told authorities the cyclist spat at him.

Senate leaders to work out the differences between the chambers will recommend putting the death penalty ban back in the bill. They think the fines to fund cold cases mainly on the local level could also be included. “The debate isn’t over; this bill isn’t over,” Carroll said. That strategy is a gamble because tying cold case funding to the death penalty ban means a broad coalition of supporters could end up with neither. The bill has been backed by families of murder victims whose cases remain unsolved, as well as defense attorneys, civil rights groups and religious groups. Howard Morton, executive director of Families of Homicide Victims & Missing Persons, said he backed the plan and thought a death penalty ban could still pass before lawmakers adjourned for the year. “I believe there’s always hope,”

Calonge said the virus could be affecting a disproportionate amount of young people because “many of us who are a little bit older may have been exposed to circulating H1N1 — there was swine flu in the 1970s.” Two of the 10 people in Colorado with swine flu are baggage handlers at the Denver airport, and Denver Public heath officials are investigating possible links.

Bernanke more optimistic

��

Federal Reserve chairman predicts economic growth in 2009 Jeannine Aversa

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke gave his most optimistic prediction yet Tuesday about the end of the recession, saying he expects the economy to start growing again this year — although the comeback could be weak and more jobs will disappear even after a recovery takes hold. The Fed chief told Congress’ Joint Economic Committee that he saw hopeful signs, including firmer home sales, a revival in consumer spending and some improvement in lending conditions for banks, businesses and individual borrowers. “We continue to expect economic activity to bottom out, then to turn up later this year,” Bernanke said.

Previously, Bernanke has suggested the recession could end this year if the government managed to stabilize the financial markets. This Bernanke time, he said not only that he expects an end to the recession this year end, but also a return to growth. For that to happen, he said, the banking system must continue to stabilize. “A relapse in financial conditions would be a significant drag on economic activity and could cause the incipient recovery to stall,” Bernanke said. Barring such a setback, Bernanke suggested the worst of the recession — for lost economic activity — has passed. Economists say the recession started in December 2007 then

hit with force in the fall of last year when the financial crisis intensified. He suggested that even in a recovery, economic activity would probably still be below normal, which some economists say is around a 2.5 percent growth and “only gradually gain momentum.” More than 5 million jobs have vanished in the recession, and the Fed chief predicted “further sizable job losses” in the coming months. The unemployment rate stood at 8.5 percent in March, a quarter-century high. By year’s end, some economists think the jobless rate could hit 10 percent, but the Fed stops short of that figure. Bernanke said the unemployment rate would probably climb somewhere in the 9 percent range.

Insurers offer to reduce rates for women

Companies try to make changes to fend off government plan

Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

Health insurance companies officials, facing the threat of a government health plan, offered on Tuesday to reduce rates for millions of women and accept close federal regulation of their industry. The higher premiums now affect 5.7 million women, many of them self-employed people who must buy their own coverage. The industry is trying to head off creation of a government health plan that would compete with them to enroll middleclass workers and their families. President Barack Obama and many Democrats favor such a

series of consumer protections they contend would add up to a fairer marketplace and cut into the ranks of the 50 million uninsured. “We are comfortable with that,” Ignagni told the Senate Finance Committee at a session on how to cover the uninsured. She was part of a large panel including representatives from business, labor unions, insurers, consumer groups and public policy centers. Finance Committee leaders want to bring a bill to the Senate floor this summer. The broad outlines will follow Obama’s campaign proposal, which builds on the current system of shared responsibility among employers, government and individuals.

Mild virus could turn deadly Scientists watch swine flu evolution closely, look for mutations Seth Borenstein

Spring is in the air! ��

� ��

A flu virus is a powerhouse of evolution, mutating at the maximum speed nature allows. A mild virus can morph into a killer and vice versa. One change already made this year’s swine flu more of a problem, helping it spread more easily among people. The big question is: What mutations are next? That’s why scientists are watching it so closely. “There are no rules to flu viruses; they are just so mutable,” said Dr. Paul Glezen, a flu epidemiologist at the Baylor College

of Medicine in Houston. “The fact that it changes all the time really confounds our efforts to control it.” Think of flu’s evolution like a family tree: In the current flu’s distant ancestry are last century’s three pandemics. But its more immediate relatives are swine flu strains that were no big deal to humans. The good news right now is that this flu has lost some of the most dangerous genetic traits of past pandemics. The bad news is that it’s gained something its parents didn’t have: the ability to spread from human to human. Flu reproduces about every eight hours, said Dr. Raul

Rabadan, professor of computational biology at Columbia University. That means this morning’s flu is a parent by the afternoon, a grandparent by the evening, and a great-grandparent by the next day. Instead of complex doublehelix DNA — nature’s basic biological instruction book — flu has a simpler, single strand of genetic code. Normal DNA has a spellcheck-like system that reduces mistakes in replicating the code; the flu virus does not. So mutations come more often. If the mutations are good for the virus, they multiply, and voila, you have a new and sometimes nastier flu.

Officials: Schools can reopen despite flu Jocelyn Noveck

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Joan Tishkevich’s joy was unequivocal. “Yes!” the mother of two shouted into the phone Tuesday after hearing that federal health officials no longer were advising schools to close for swine flu. It meant her 8-year-old son, Jack, would soon go back to his second-grade classroom. It meant he could return to his beloved Little League. Most of all, it meant Tishkevich would be able to stop bringing the boy to her office, leaving him to

read books while she held meetings at the real estate development company where she works in Kennebunk, Maine. Last week, the government advised schools to shut down for about two weeks if there were suspected cases of swine flu. Some 700 schools around the country followed that guidance, affecting more than 300,000 kids. Hundreds of thousands of parents scrambled to meet an unexpected logistical challenge: What to do with the kids? But on Tuesday, Health and Human Services Secretary

Kathleen Sebelius said the swine flu virus had turned out to be milder than initially feared, and thus the change in advice: No need to close schools, but do keep sick children with flulike symptoms at home for at least seven days. It seemed school districts were acting immediately. Some said they would reopen Wednesday. Most others said they would wait until Thursday. A few planned to wait until Monday. In changing their advice, health officials said they had considered the problems the closings created for parents.

CLEVELAND

Five years ago, a shotgun blast left a ghastly hole where the middle of her face had been. Five months ago, she received a new face from a dead woman. Connie Culp stepped forward Tuesday to show off the results of the nation’s first face transplant, and her new look was a far cry from the puckered, noseless sight that made children run away in horror. Culp’s expressions are still a bit wooden, but she can talk, smile, smell and taste her food again. Her speech is at times a little tough to understand. Her face is bloated and squarish, and her skin droops in big folds that doctors plan to pare away as her circulation improves and her nerves grow, animating her new muscles. But Culp had nothing but praise for those who made her new face possible. “I guess I’m the one you came to see today,” the 46-year-old Ohio woman said at a news conference at the Cleveland Clinic, where the groundbreaking operation was performed. But “I think it’s more important that you focus on the donor family that made it so I could have this person’s face.” Up until Tuesday, Culp’s iden-

tity and how she came to be disfigured were a secret. Culp’s husband, Thomas, shot her in 2004, then turned the gun on himself. He went to prison for seven years. His wife was left clinging to life. The blast shattered her nose, cheeks, the roof of her mouth and an eye. Hundreds of fragments of shotgun pellet and bone splinters were embedded in her face. She needed a tube in her windpipe to breathe. Only her upper eyelids, forehead, lower lip and chin were left. A plastic surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Risal Djohan, got a look at her injuries two months later. “He told me he didn’t think, he wasn’t sure, if he could fix me, but he’d try,” Culp recalled. She endured 30 operations to try to fix her face. Doctors took parts of her ribs to make cheekbones and fashioned an upper jaw from one of her leg bones. She had countless skin grafts from her thighs. Still, she was left unable to eat solid food, breathe on her own or smell. Then, on Dec. 10, in a 22-hour operation, Dr. Maria Siemionow led a team of doctors who replaced 80 percent of Culp’s face with bone, muscles, nerves, skin and blood vessels from another woman who had just died. It was the fourth face transplant in the world, though the others were not as extensive.

The Obama administration hopes to build a strong and lasting regional alliance, linking success in Afghanistan with security in Pakistan. Toward that end, the administration is encouraging Pakistan to confront — not make peace with — the Taliban and other militants.

“We need to put the most heavy possible pressure on our friends in Pakistan to join us in the fight against the Taliban and its allies,” Richard Holbrooke, the U.S. special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, told a congressional committee Tuesday. “We cannot succeed in Afghanistan without Pakistan’s support and involvement.”

Black-turbaned Taliban militants seized government buildings, laid mines and fought security forces Tuesday in the Swat Valley, as fear of a major operation led thousands to pack their belongings on their heads and backs, cram aboard buses and flee the northwestern region. The collapse of a 3-monthold truce with the Taliban means Pakistan will now have to fight to regain control of the Swat Valley, testing the ability of its stretched military and the resolve of civilian leaders who until recently were insisting the insurgents could be partners in peace. The government feared the refugee exodus could reach 500,000. The developments brought Islamabad’s faltering campaign against militancy into sharp focus as President Asif Ali Zardari was preparing for talks Wednesday in Washington with President Barack Obama and Afghan President Hamid Karzai about how best to counter an increasingly overlapping spectrum of extrem-

Bombing runs called in by U.S. forces killed dozens of civilians taking shelter from fighting between Taliban militants and Afghan and international troops, Afghan officials said Tuesday. The U.S. promised a joint investigation. A provincial councilman said he saw about 30 bodies, many of them women and children, after villages bought them to a provincial capital. Overall death toll estimates varied widely. Villagers estimated from 70 to more than 100 civilians may have died, according to local and regional officials. But no government official could confirm such a toll. Civilian deaths have caused increasing friction between the Afghan and U.S. governments, and President Hamid Karzai has long pleaded with American officials to reduce the number of civilian casualties in their operations. Karzai meets with President Barack Obama in Washington on Wednesday. In remarks at a Washington think tank Tuesday, Karzai alluded to the problem of civilian casualties without mentioning the bombing deaths. He said the success of the new U.S. war strategy depends on

“making sure absolutely that Afghans don’t suffer — that Afghan civilians are protected.” “This war against terrorism will succeed only if we fight it from a higher platform of morality,” he added in a speech at the Brookings Institution. Asked later what he meant by that remark, Karzai said, “We must be conducting this war as better human beings,” and recognize that “force won’t buy you obedience.”

Stocks slip as traders take profits after surge NEW YORK

Sometimes a down day on Wall Street can be a good thing — especially when it shows that investors are carefully weighing their next steps. Traders collected a few profits Tuesday, leaving the major indexes with fairly modest losses, as the market waited for key reports on the government’s assessment

of banks’ health and the latest numbers on jobs. But stocks held on to most of their gains from Monday, which saw the Standard & Poor’s 500 index recoup the last of its losses since the beginning of the year. That advance came on hopeful signs in the housing market and extended a two-month rally that brought stocks up from 12-year lows. “Today’s action, just drifting around, is not that surpris-

ing given Monday’s rally,” said Darin Newsom, a senior analyst at DTN in Omaha, Neb. Many analysts think it’s actually good for the market to pause after a big advance, particularly when Wall Street has had its best two-month performance in nearly 35 years. Tuesday’s showing proved that investors aren’t buying with abandon and are considering whether they want to put more money into stocks given the challenges the market

faces later this week. On Thursday, the government will release results of its stress tests on banks, and Friday, the Labor Department issues some of the most closely watched data on Wall Street, its monthly tally of job losses and unemployment. The Dow declined 16.09, or 0.2 percent, to 8,410.65. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index declined 3.44, or 0.4 percent, to 903.80. The modest pullback left the index essentially flat

for the year to date. The S&P 500 is widely used as a benchmark for mutual funds and other investments. The Nasdaq composite index lost 9.44, or 0.5 percent, to 1,754.12, and the Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 4.27, or 0.8 percent, to 502.55. About eight stocks declined for every seven that increased on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 6.6 billion shares compared with 6.9 billion shares Monday.

John Kirk finished the 200meter free in third place with a time of 2:24.56. Senior Brandon Corey also finished Friday with his best times in two events — 35:84 in the 50-meter free and 1:24.49 in the 100-meter free. The relay team, composed of swimmers Kirk, Peterson, Griffiths and Cole Worsley, also showed well Friday.

The wait is over for Steamboat Springs Nordic combined skier Taylor Fletcher. “This is something that I’ve been worked for, and been waiting to happen for a while,” Fletcher said Tuesday. “It’s awesome. I did not know that it was going to happen.” The U.S. Ski Team rewarded Fletcher, as well as his Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club teammates Brett Denney and Nick Hendrickson, for their hard work and determination by nominating them to the U.S. Ski Team’s Nordic combined squad. They are among six local skiers who earned a spot on the 2009-10 U.S. Nordic Combined Ski Team, which national ski officials announced Tuesday. However, the team will not officially be named until later this spring, once the athletes have accepted the responsibilities of being a part of the U.S. Team. As expected, Todd Lodwick and Johnny Spillane were named to the “A” team, and will join Billy Demong, of Vermontville, N.Y., on the U.S. Ski Team’s top tier. The “B” team includes Steamboat’s Bryan Fletcher and Alex Miller, who were on the team last season. Steamboat’s Taylor Fletcher and Denney were also named to the “B” team. Hendrickson, of Park City, Utah, also was named to the team along with veterans Brett and Eric Camerota. Hendrickson spent last winter in Steamboat Springs training with the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club. “It was a surprise to us,” Todd

Wide-eyes and playoff nerves shouldn’t be a problem for the Thompson Valley High School girls soccer team today. Even as Thompson Valley enters a 6 p.m. game today at Gardner Field as the underdog — the Eagles are seeded 22nd while the host Sailors are 11th — the team’s schedule

and league have prepared it for just about anything. So while the Eagles finished just 8-6-1 overall, they played in the Northern League, often regarded as one of the best leagues in Class 4A. For perspective, six other Northern League teams made the playoffs, including five teams landing in the top 15 seeds. “We spend so much time in our 15 game playoff season just to get to the playoffs,”

Thompson Valley coach Nate Hancock said, referencing the difficulty of his team’s schedule. “We’ve been focusing on getting through our conference.” The Eagles almost didn’t make the playoffs. In accordance with its tough schedule, a season-opening tie with Berthoud almost cost Thompson Valley. Luckily, Thompson Valley won tiebreakers with Longmont and Skyline to make the playoffs.

If you go What: No. 11 Steamboat Springs vs. No. 22 Thompson Valley When: 6 p.m. today Where: Gardner Field

Hancock said he didn’t know a lot about Steamboat, but he’s relatively familiar with some of the Sailors after coming to Steamboat with club teams in the summer. He said judging by Steamboat’s record and See Soccer, page 28

Back-to-back home meets proved to be successful outings in the pool Friday and Saturday for the Moffat County High School boys swimming team. Swimming at home, the team turned out winning individual and relay team efforts. “The boys all swam really well,” coach Patti Worsley said.

“They all dropped their times. I was really proud of them.” On Friday, the five-man Bulldogs squad competed against 20 swimmers from Grand Junction. Outnumbered, the Bulldogs didn’t fare well as a team, Worsley said, but they were able to turn in some good individual performances. “We had five kids,” Worsley said, “and they had 20. That makes a big difference.”

Cole Worsley, a senior from Steamboat Springs, broke a 24year-old school record in the 200-meter individual medley. He finished in 2:20.96, besting Tim Osborne’s 1985 record of 2:23.03. Worsley also qualified Friday for state in the 100-meter fly. Chance Peterson took second place in the 50-meter free, finishing in 28:58, and teammate Charlie Griffiths finished third in the same event, in 29:86.

The reality of the new state qualifying format for Class 4A is about to set in on the Steamboat Springs High School track and field team. Whereas in previous years a top-three finish at regionals or a pre-qualifying mark would put an athlete into the state competition, this year, the top 18 times in all events qualify. So although Steamboat came away from Friday and Saturday’s Tiger Invitational in Grand Junction posting many personal bests, most of the Steamboat athletes still are on the outside looking in. A trio of athletes led the way for Steamboat on Friday and Saturday. Brittany Long placed eighth in the girls 3,200-meter run with a time of 12 minutes, 29.24 seconds. Morgan Bessette was third in the long jump, jumping 16 feet, 1.5 inches, and John Cutter ran a season’s best in the boys 3,200, finishing with a time of 10:09.35. Still, none of those times or distances were good enough to land any of Steamboat’s athletes in the top 18. Cutter is 23rd in the 3,200,

six seconds away from the 18th position, while Bessette is just three inches short of the No. 18 spot. Steamboat’s lone qualifier as of Tuesday is pole vaulter Jaime Winter, whose mark of 8-6 is good enough for 16th place. Still, Steamboat athletes have one more chance to qualify: the Class 4A Showcase meet Thursday, Friday and Saturday in Grand Junction. “We hope so,” Steamboat coach Luke DeWolfe said about Sailors qualifying for state. “We talked about it all year long that hopefully our kids realize that the goal is to have their best meet be this meet. We’ve trained toward that and talked toward that so hopefully, our kids perform.” DeWolfe said the boys 800meter relay team of Kaelen Gunderson, Jeff Sperry, Jacob Brenner and Dylan Pivarnik, as well as the boys 1,600-meter relay team of Sperry, Brenner, Lucas Stover and Pivarnik, have a shot at qualifying. The 800-meter relay team finished 13th at the Tiger Invitational with a time of 1:36.96. The 1,600 relay team didn’t register a time. “If they run perfect races and run what they’re capable of, they can get in there,” DeWolfe said.

how the team cruised through the Western Slope League that he knows his team will have to play well. Steamboat finished the season 11-3-1, with two of its losses coming to Class 5A playoff teams. “Our focus has been in big

games and competitive games of having the proper mentality to go to goal,” Steamboat coach Rob Bohlmann said. “When we look back at all our tight games and defensively, we’ve been solid. But it’s the goal production that has to be big (today). “Those goal-scoring personalities are there. The buildup in

our attack, delivering the ball and getting it into the attacking third is all there. It’s just a matter of can we actually produce in the 80 minutes of the game.” For Thompson Valley, the key might be finding the right balance on offense and defense. The Eagles had a trio of girls — Courtney Pitt, Emma Howard and Sydney Paulsen — combine to score 40 goals this year and were near the top of the Northern League in offensive statistics. However, Thompson Valley also gave up 2.4 goals a game this year, a stat that left the team at the bottom of the conference. “We’ve got to just avoid unforced errors so to speak,” Hancock said. “We’ve given up some of those iffy goals and put ourselves into holes. I’d just like to secure the defense and be strong with that and let our offense do what they do.” The winner of today’s game plays the winner of sixth-seed Valor Christian and No. 27 Woodland Park on Saturday. The higher seed will host the game. — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

Showing why he was voted the league’s best player in a landslide, James added 10 rebounds, three assists and four steals as the top-seeded Cavs won their fifth straight lopsided game in a postseason that so far has mirrored the best regular season in franchise history. Mo Williams added 21 points for Cleveland, which has won

With the Cavs up by 21, James was pulled with 4:29 left — extra down time before Game 2 on Thursday night at Quicken Loans Arena, where the Cavaliers are 42-2.

Carmelo Anthony led another fourth-quarter blitz by the Nuggets, who overcame Dirk Nowitzki’s 35 points and more hustle and muscle from the Mavericks for a 117-105 victory. The Nuggets are up, 2-0, in their best-of-seven series. Anthony scored 15 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, Nene scored 25, J.R.

SAN DIEGO

Slumping Brian Giles doubled in the winning run in the 10th inning, and the San Diego Padres snapped a six-game losing streak with a 2-1 victory against the Rockies on Tuesday night. Giles’ one-out double off Matt Daley (0-1) scored pinch-hitter Edgar Gonzalez from first base to give the Padres their third win in the past 15 games. Gonzalez reached on a oneout walk, and Giles hit a ball off the right center-field wall that allowed Gonzalez to score the winning run without a throw. Giles, who came into the game hitting .153 and was on a 3-for-27

MLB skid, batted in the leadoff spot and went 2 for 3 with two walks. Heath Bell (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out four strikeouts for the win. For the second straight night, the Padres set a record for their lowest attendance at Petco Park with an announced crowd of 13,646. On Monday, the same teams drew an announced crowd of 14,717 to the downtown park that opened in 2004. Padres rookie Josh Geer and Colorado’s Aaron Cook matched each other through eight innings. Geer pitched seven shutout innings before Chris Iannetta

homered into the second deck in left leading off the eighth to tie it 1-all. Iannetta hit a go-ahead grand slam off Cla Meredith on Monday night in the seventh inning of the Rockies’ 9-6 win. Six of Iannetta’s 12 hits are home runs. Geer allowed one run and five hits in eight innings and left with his third no-decision in as many starts. Geer, who made one relief appearance, has an ERA of 2.57 in his starts. Geer struck out three and walked two, including a secondinning pass to Troy Tulowitzki to snap his string of 18 innings to open the season without a walk, the longest this year in the majors.

I’m not retiring at 23. I have four more years to my career. I still have things I want to accomplish.” Phelps called longtime coach Bob Bowman on March 1 — Bowman remembers the day vividly — and said simply, “I’m doing it.” “I was not really concerned whether he would quit or not,” Bowman said. “I was concerned that if he did quit, that he did it for the right reasons.

Mexico to invest $2 billion in economy hit by flu Julie Watson

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MEXICO CITY

The swine flu outbreak has cost Mexico at least $2.2 billion in the past 10 days, the finance secretary announced Tuesday, as damage to tourism and agriculture threatens to push Latin America’s second-largest economy into a deep recession. The Mexican government said Tuesday it will give $2 billion in credits and loans to offset business and tourism losses, sending the peso to 13.2 — its best price against the dollar since the epidemic hit. But economists say the worst is yet to come, despite an end Wednesday to a five-day nation-

wide shutdown of all but essential services that was ordered to help contain the virus. Lingering stigma from a new strain of flu that sickened hundreds and killed 28 worldwide could continue to hurt Mexican agriculture and cut tourism by as much as 50 percent through the end of the year. “Nobody wants to go to a place that was contaminated, and nobody wants to go to a place where risk of the disease still exists,” said Jose Alfredo Coutino, senior economist for Latin America at Moody’s Economy.com. He said Mexico’s tourism industry alone could lose as much as $7 billion this year. Finance Secretary Agustin

Mexican pigs or pork. Mexico plans to dispute the agricultural bans before the World Trade Organization, noting that swine flu is not spread by eating pork. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Tuesday he will ask governments to reverse restrictions on trade and travel unless there is clear scientific evidence that they are necessary. But much of the damage already is done. Mexico’s hotel occupancy is half its normal rate, and U.S. airlines have cut flights in half as worried travelers cancel trips. Tourism accounts for 8 percent of Mexico’s GDP and is the third-largest source of legal foreign income, after oil and

money sent home by migrants. Experts point to the battering of Asian economies after the 2003 outbreak of severe acute respiratory disease, or SARS, as an indication that Mexico faces a rough road. Even before the outbreak, Mexico was heading into a recession as global financial downturn hurt export markets. The country sends 80 percent of its exports to the United States, which has been hard hit. Coutino now predicts Mexico’s economy will contract by more than 5 percent this year. The central bank estimates 4.8 percent; the federal government says 4 percent. Businesses at all levels are feeling the pain.

Swiss bank reports 1st quarter loss

Carstens estimated the epidemic will reduce Mexico’s $825 billion GDP by between 0.3 and 0.5 percent. The credits and loans he announced Tuesday include a 20 percent break for small businesses on government insurance payments for May and June, and a 50-percent tax break for airlines and cruise ships through June. Carstens also announced an initial 200 million pesos ($15 million) to help boost tourism, all to “induce a rapid recovery in the most affected sectors.” The biggest challenges will be in tourism and agriculture: At least four countries have banned flights to Mexico, and eight nations have banned imports of

ZURICH

UBS AG, the Swiss bank hit hard by the financial crisis and a U.S. legal probe into its American clients’ offshore accounts, reported Tuesday a first-quarter net loss of 1.98 billion Swiss francs ($1.73 billion) and said it expects loan losses to keep increasing. UBS, which replaced its CEO, chairman and several other senior officials after record losses of about 21 billion francs last year, also said customer withdrawals continued in the first quarter. The quarterly loss compared with a 11.62 billion francs shortfall a year earlier and was cautiously welcomed by investors and analysts as a sign that the new management is taking necessary steps to turn the business around. UBS shares increased 2.3 percent to close at 16.40 francs ($14.48) on the Zurich exchange. The Swiss bank said its investment banking unit recorded a pretax loss of 3.16 billion francs.

Scientists unveil chocolate-fueled race car Meera Selva

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON

Scientists unveiled Tuesday what they hope will be one of the world’s fastest biofuel vehicles, powered by waste from chocolate factories and made partly from plant fibers. Its makers hope the racer will go 145 mph and give manufacturers ideas about how to build more ecologically friendly vehicles. The car runs on vegetable oils and chocolate waste that has been turned into biofuel.

The steering wheel is made out of plant-based fibers derived from carrots and other root vegetables, and the seat is built of flax fibre and soybean oil foam. The body also is made of plant fibers. Scientists at the University of Warwick say their car is the fastest to run on biofuels and also be made from biodegradable materials. It has been built to Formula 3 specifications about the car’s size, weight and performance. Their claims cannot be independently verified. They hope it can reach speeds

of more than 145 mph when it is tested on a racetrack in a few weeks time. They have driven it at about 60 mph and now are making final adjustments to the engine before driving it at top speed. Warwick’s project manager James Meredith said their model shows that it is possible to build a fast, efficient, environmentally friendly car. The car, named the “WorldFirst Formula 3 racing car,” will go on display at several races including the European Grand Prix and Britain’s Goodwood Festival of Speed.
