Routt County’s unemployment rate increased from 6 percent in March to 7.6 percent in April. “That’s quite a jump,” said Brian Bradbury, an employment specialist at the Colorado Workforce Center. It could reflect an adjustment from ski season to mud season in the area, he acknowledged. The figure is not adjusted for typical seasonal employment changes. Leisure and hospitality cut 4,600 positions statewide in April, according to a news release from the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for Colorado decreased one-tenth of a percentage point to 7.4 percent in April, Donald Mares, executive director of the department, said in the release. “While this marks the first time since October 2007 that the unemployment rate has fallen, continued job losses likely will push Colorado’s unemployment rate still higher in the upcoming months,” Mares said. Colorado’s rate was 4.7 percent a year ago. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the nation’s See Unemployment, page 13

Carol Till unwraps a print for RARE Imperiled Plants of Colorado, a traveling exhibition of Colorado Rare Pants. The exhibit debuted at the Denver Botanic gardens and ran from March 7 to May 17. The exhibit is now open at the Steamboat Art Museum and will run until Sept. 30.

The beauty of botany STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Carol Till has been involved with the American Society of Botanical Artists for years, but it wasn’t until she started working on a new art exhibit — “RARE: Imperiled Plants of Colorado” — that she realized the educational impact the group could have. “RARE” includes 40 illustrations in traditional botanical style by 29 artists. The show is open now at Steamboat Art Museum this week, and it will be on display through Sept. 30. The exhibit is a project of the Rocky Mountain Society of Botanical Artists and the Colorado Rare Plant Initiative; the initiative is working to develop a statewide conservation strategy for Colorado’s native plants, according to its Web site. “RARE” spent time in Denver before coming to the mountains and will tour Durango and Manitou Springs in 2010. “I didn’t even know there were rare plants in Colorado before I started this project,” Till said. There are about 400 species of rare plants in Colorado, and about 120 of those are listed as critically impaired, she said. “The whole point of having it tour the state and having it tie into all of these projects was to make people aware of these plants.” Steamboat Art Museum is partnering with a number of

local nonprofit groups to raise awareness around the exhibit’s subject. Educational displays will offer information about techniques used in botanical illustration, said Shirley Stocks, who handles exhibitions and acquisitions for the museum. “RARE” is one of two plantcentric exhibits on display at the museum; “The Wild Bunch” includes mixed media depictions of Colorado wildflowers by Studio Botanica.

A rare reception The Steamboat Art Museum hosts a reception for its summer shows, “RARE: Imperiled Plants of Colorado” and “The Wild Bunch,” from 5 to 8 p.m. June 5. Regular museum hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. For more information, call 870-1755. The museum hosts a workshop on botanical art July 10 to 12 at the Yampa River Botanic Park.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of America, a 139-year-old institution, will open a branch in Steamboat Springs next month, giving local students an alternative for summer activities and an after-school club during the school year. After a year of planning, the club will take up residence in the George P. Sauer Human

Services Center on Eighth Street, leasing the space from the Steamboat Springs School District. The club will open for the summer June 8, unit director Heather Martyn said. “I think every community needs a place for kids to feel a part of something, a positive, safe environment that can keep them safe and active,” she said. Martyn, along with two fulltime staff members, will lead programs throughout the summer, including character, leadership, education and health programs. There also will be a field trip every day during the summer. The Steamboat site will be a branch of the Craig club to cut start-up time and cost. Mike Coffman, a Boys & Girls Club of America regional service director based in Richardson, Texas, said the group will bypass a number of obstacles by expanding the existing operation instead of starting a new club in Steamboat.

School budget drafted Board members pleased with lack of cuts that affect students Jack Weinstein

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Despite a dip in funding from the Education Fund Board and mapping the financial future of the Steamboat Springs School District in a tumultuous economic year, a budget was drafted for the 2009-10 school year without major program or staff cuts. Before her presentation of the more than $31 million budget, Superintendent Shalee Cunningham told board members that she was “really proud” of what she and Finance Director Dave Mellor would describe during a budget workshop Friday morning. Cunningham said she met with the principals of the four schools and program directors to work with them directly to trim their budgets “line by line.” She said that scrutiny of the budget allowed them to find “areas of the budget that could be easily eliminated that were far away from the classroom.” That will allow the district to provide step salary increases for teachers at a cost of $325,000, pending approval from the

Collective Bargaining Team. Should the CBT not approve the step increases, Cunningham said the district would have to revisit the budget. There were some staff cuts, including the elimination of two special education paraprofessionals each at Soda Creek and Strawberry Park elementary schools and the middle school. One and a half full-time equivalent para positions were cut from the high school. Cunningham said in the past, as students who required paraprofessional help graduated, those positions weren’t reduced, and the district became overstaffed. She said each student who needs a para will have one. Other staff cuts include a halftime physical education position at Strawberry Park, half-time custodial positions at both elementary schools and one custodian at the middle school. A Montessori aide also was cut. Overtime for all employees was eliminated. The district also realized cost savings when the cost of its employee health insurance was reduced, which will be passed along to employees. Deductibles were reduced

from $3,000 to $2,500, and the co-pays were reduced from $40 to $25. A key staff addition included the hiring of a new middle school teacher to accommodate more than 100 new sixth-graders to the district next year. Cunningham said adding the teacher would allow the middle school to remain at the district policy of 25 students to one teacher. And the district elected to foot the bill for Gifted and Talented and English Language Learner teachers, positions that previously were funded by gifts from the Fund Board. School board members seemed pleased with the budget. Board President Robin Crossan said Cunningham did what she promised when she was hired before last school year and reconstructed the budget from the ground up. “As time-consuming as it is, the results are fantastic,” Crossan told Cunningham. “I applaud you and your staff. Thank you very much.” Mellor said state statutes required the board to adopt the budget by June 30.

Transcript from illegal meeting released STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

As part of its settlement agreement with the Steamboat Pilot & Today, the Steamboat Springs School District on Thursday released the transcript from an illegal executive session held by a previous School Board in January 2007. A copy of the transcript is available for download at www. steamboatpilot.com. On March 26, the Colorado Court of Appeals ruled that a previous School Board violated Open Meetings Law when it met behind closed doors on Jan. 8, 2007. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the then-controversial staff surveys of district administrators. The Court of Appeals ruled that the board failed to state that the purpose of the executive session was to discuss the surveys; failed to note that the personnel matter involved thenSuperintendent Donna Howell; and failed to announce that the board would confer with its attorney during the executive session. Open Meetings Law requires that public bodies such as school boards and city councils be as specific as possible in detailing the topic of an executive session. Similarly, the law

makes clear the limited number of topics that can be discussed in secret. In addition to releasing the transcript from the meeting, the School Board agreed to pay $50,000 toward the newspaper’s legal fees. “Our hope is that the release of the meeting transcript brings a close to this unfortunate chapter,” Pilot & Today Publisher Suzanne Schlicht

said. “What’s in the transcript is incidental to the fact that public bodies cannot convene in executive session unless they meet the letter of the law, and the public should expect nothing less. “We’re pleased the current School Board has thus far shown a commitment to openness and transparency, and we expect all other local government bodies to do the same.”

7-legged calf born Thursday Animal also had 2 spines, veterinary hospital worker says Blythe Terrell

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

A seven-legged calf was born Thursday afternoon at Steamboat Veterinary Hospital. The Black Angus calf was delivered by Caesarean section. The owners of the calf, who wanted to remain anonymous, thought their cow was having twins, hospital receptionist Pam Lynn said. They brought the cow to the hospital Thursday morning because they couldn’t get the calf out, she said. Veterinarian Lee Meyring delivered the animal and called its condition a birth anomaly. “I’ve been in practice for 14 years, and I’ve only seen one other calf with a fifth leg,” Meyring said. “And so this one’s definitely the most bizarre I’ve seen. It’s just a twinning process that had an incomplete splitting of the embryo, then the fetus.” The mother seemed to be OK, Lynn said. The calf lived only 10 minutes, she said. One of the seven legs had two hooves. The calf had two spines but just one head. The veterinarians don’t plan to examine its organs. “We’re not going to open it up because it’s not really worth it, so we’re going to try to get it preserved,” Lynn said. “It’s the weirdest thing we’ve seen, ever ever.” The hospital is trying to reach Ripley’s Believe it or Not or Animal Planet to find out whether they were interested in the calf. It also will provide an interesting lesson for 4-H members, Lynn said. “We’ve had calls already from Fort Collins, Denver,” she said.

COMMENTARY

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

Cheney lost to Bush David Brooks

THE NEW YORK TIMES

President Barack Obama and former Vice President Dick Cheney conspired Thursday to propagate a myth. The myth is that we lived through an eight-year period of Bush-Cheney anti-terror policy, and now we have entered a very different period called the Obama-Biden anti-terror policy. As Obama and Cheney understand, this is a completely bogus distortion of history. The reality is that after Brooks Sept. 11, we entered a twoor three-year period of what you might call Bush-Cheney policy. America was blindsided. Intelligence officials knew next to nothing about the threats arrayed against them. The Bush administration tried just about everything to discover and prevent threats. The Bush people believed they

were operating within the law, but they did things most of us now find morally offensive and counterproductive. The Bush-Cheney period lasted maybe three years. For Dick Cheney, those might be the golden years. For Democrats, it surely is the period they want to forever hang around the necks of the Republican Party. But that period ended long ago. By 2005, what you might call the Bush-Rice-Hadley era had begun. Gradually, in fits and starts, a series of Bush administration officials — including Condoleezza Rice, Stephen Hadley, Jack Goldsmith and John Bellinger — tried to rein in the excesses of the Bush-Cheney period. They didn’t win every fight, and they were prodded by court decisions and public outrage, but the gradual evolution of policy was clear. From 2003 onward, people like Bellinger and Goldsmith were fighting against legal judgments that allowed enhanced interrogation techniques. By 2006, Rice and Hadley brought Khalid

Shaikh Mohammed in from a secret foreign prison to regularize detainee procedures. In 2007, Rice refused to support an executive order reviving the interrogation program. Throughout the second Bush term, officials were trying to close Guantanamo, pleading with foreign governments to take some prisoners, begging senators to allow the transfer of prisoners onto American soil. (It didn’t occur to them that they could announce the closure of Gitmo first, then figure out what to do with prisoners.) Cheney and Obama might pretend otherwise, but it wasn’t the Obama administration that halted the practice of waterboarding. It was a succession of CIA directors starting in March 2003, even before a devastating report by the CIA inspector-general in 2004. When Cheney lambastes the change in security policy, he’s not really attacking the Obama administration. He’s attacking See Brooks, page 9

Blue double cross Paul Krugman

THE NEW YORK TIMES

That didn’t take long. Less than two weeks have passed since much of the medical-industrial complex made a big show of working with President Barack Obama on health care reform — and the double-crossing already is well under way. Indeed, it’s now clear that even as they met with the president, pretending to be cooperative, insurers were gearing up to play the same destructive role they did Krugman the last time health reform was on the agenda. So here’s the question: Will Obama gloss over the reality of what’s happening, and try to preserve the appearance of cooperation? Or will he honor his own pledge, made back during the campaign, to go on the offensive against

MALLARD FILLMORE

special interests if they stand in the way of reform? The story so far: On May 11, the White House called a news conference to announce that major players in health care, including the American Hospital Association and the lobbying group America’s Health Insurance Plans, had come together to support a national effort to control health care costs. The fact sheet on the meeting, one has to say, was classic Obama in its message of post-partisanship and, um, hope. “For too long, politics and point-scoring have prevented our country from tackling this growing crisis,” it said, adding, “The American people are eager to put the old Washington ways behind them.” But just three days later the hospital association insisted that it had not, in fact, promised what the president said it had promised — that it had made no commitment to the administration’s goal of reducing the rate at which health care

costs are rising by 1.5 percentage points a year. And the head of the insurance lobby said that the idea merely was to “ramp up” savings, whatever that means. Meanwhile, the insurance industry is busily lobbying Congress to block one crucial element of health care reform, the public option — that is, offering Americans the right to buy insurance directly from the government as well as from private insurance companies. And at least some insurers are gearing up for a major smear campaign. On Monday, just a week after the White House photo-op, The Washington Post reported that Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina was preparing to run a series of ads attacking the public option. The planning for this ad campaign must have begun quite some time ago. The Post has the storyboards for the ads, and they read just like the infamous See Krugman, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

Obama reforms compromises intelligently

Insurers’ goal is to deny Americans choices Harry and Louise ads that helped kill health care reform in 1993. Troubled Americans are shown being denied their choice of doctor, or forced to wait months for appointments, by faceless government bureaucrats. It’s a scary image that might make some sense if private health insurance — which these days comes primarily via HMOs — offered all of us free choice of doctors, with no wait for medical procedures. But my health plan isn’t like that. Is yours? Why deny Americans the chance to reject government insurance if it’s really that bad? For none of the reform proposals currently on the table would force people into a government-run insurance plan. At most, they would offer Americans the choice of buying

��

into such a plan. And the goal of the insurers is to deny Americans that choice. They fear that many people would prefer a government plan to dealing with private insurance companies that, in the real world as opposed to the world of their ads, are more bureaucratic than any government agency, routinely deny clients their choice of doctor, and often refuse to pay for care. Which brings us back to Obama. Back during the Democratic primary campaign, Obama argued that the Clintons had failed in their 1993 attempt to reform health care because they had been insufficiently inclusive. He promised instead to gather all the stakeholders, including the insurance companies, around a “big table.” And that May 11 event was, of course, intended

precisely to show this big-table strategy in action. But what if interest groups showed up at the big table, then blocked reform? Back then, Obama assured voters that he would get tough: “If those insurance companies and drug companies start trying to run ads with Harry and Louise, I’ll run my own ads as president. I’ll get on television and say ‘Harry and Louise are lying.’” The question now is whether he really meant it. The medical-industrial complex has called the president’s bluff. It polished its image by showing up at the big table and promising cooperation, then promptly went back to doing all it can to block real change. The insurers and the drug companies are, in effect, betting that Obama will be afraid to call them out on their duplicity.

to the detriment of the legitimacy and efficacy of its policies, by indifference to process and presentation. The Obama administration, by contrast, is intensely focused on these issues.” Obama has taken many of the same policies that Bush ended up with, and he has made them credible to the country and the world. In his speech, Obama explained his decisions in a subtle and coherent way. He admitted that some problems are tough and allow no easy solution. He treated Americans as adults, and will have won their respect. The bottom line is that Obama has taken a series of moderate and time-tested policy compromises. He has preserved and reformed them intelligently. He has fit them into a persuasive framework. By doing that, he has made us more secure.

the Bush administration. In his speech Thursday, he repeated in public a lot of the same arguments he had been making within the Bush White House as the policy decisions went more and more the other way. The inauguration of Barack Obama simply has not marked a dramatic shift in the substance of American anti-terror policy. It has marked a shift in the public credibility of that policy. In the first place, it is absurd to say that this administration doesn’t take terrorism seriously. Obama has embraced the Afghan surge, a strategy that was brewing at the end of the Bush years. He has stepped up drone activity in Pakistan. He has promoted aggressive counterinsurgency fighters and racked up domestic

anti-terror accomplishments. As for the treatment of terror suspects, Jack Goldsmith has a definitive piece called “The Cheney Fallacy” online at The New Republic. He goes down a broad range of policies — Guantanamo, habeas corpus, military commissions, rendition, interrogation and so on. He shows how, in most cases, the Obama policy represents a continuation of or a gradual evolution from the final Bush policy. What Obama gets, and what President George W. Bush never got, is that other peoples’ opinions matter. Goldsmith puts it well: “The main difference between the Obama and Bush administrations concerns not the substance of terrorism policy, but rather its packaging. The Bush administration shot itself in the foot time and time again,

A 20-year-old worker with the Rocky Mountain Youth Corps was struck by a falling tree at Storm Mountain Ranch while a work crew was clearing beetle-killed trees Thursday morning. Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue emergency responders took him to Yampa Valley Medical Center, and he later was airlifted to St. Anthony Central Hospital in Denver. The man was transported from the scene “code red,” said Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue Emergency Medical Service Battalion Chief Mel Stewart, but RMYC Executive Director Gretchen Van De Carr said he was moved out of intensive care by noon Friday. “What we do know is he’s

in stable condition, and our program director is down there with him, and his parents with him, and at this point, it’s optimistic,” she said. Van De Carr said she did not want to give out the man’s name because she was waiting for his parents’ permission. She said he did not grow up in Steamboat Springs.

Colorado college trustee Benita Bristol steps down The Colorado Mountain College Board of Trustees reluctantly accepted the resignation of Benita Bristol on May 18. Bristol, who for the past two years worked at the college as a greeter and switchboard operator, was sworn in as a trustee in December of 2007. She resigned from the board citing

health reasons. An active supporter of education, Bristol and her husband, Everett, were at the first meeting when plans for Steamboat Springs’ Yampa Valley College were set in motion. When the college considered joining the CMC system, the Bristols traveled throughout Northwest Colorado to garner taxpayer support. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Benita and her family at this time,” Dr. Stan Jensen, president of the eight-campus community college, said in a press release. “Benita Bristol has given extraordinary service and support to Colorado Mountain College over many decades, and we are indebted to her for much of our success in serving students in Routt County.”

In the midst of a recession, the South Routt School Board on Thursday approved step increases for eligible employees. That and the addition of Education Fund Board dollars, which haven’t been available to Soroco in the more than 15 years of Steamboat Springs’ half-cent sales tax for education, highlighted the second draft of the proposed 200910 budget presented to board members by Superintendent Scott Mader. Dina Murray, Soroco’s business manager, said the $7.3 million budget didn’t include a base salary increase for employees, something that hasn’t happened for about a decade. The district will provide step increases.

ment project and the new South Routt Early Learning Center. Murray said the board would amend the budget in November when the final student count is determined. The budget will be adopted formally before it’s submitted to the state Jan. 31, 2010. In other action: ■ Board members were presented a $10,000 grant by Routt County United Way. Murray said the grant is provided once a year. The school was given the award to expand its agriculture program to include horticulture. She said the district was working to solicit a match or additional funding from the local business community. ■ Mader presented board members with the district’s 2009-10 school year goals. They included improving student

The budget also includes $90,000 in Fund Board contributions that will allow the district to hire a curriculum consultant and implement various technology upgrades next school year. For the first time, the Hayden and Soroco school districts were able to apply this year for Fund Board dollars after Steamboat voters overwhelmingly renewed the tax last November. The vote garnered 72 percent support from Steamboat residents to share the tax revenue with the other county school districts. Unfortunately, Murray said, the new consultant and technology upgrades also will add about $90,000 in district expenses. Next year’s budget is about $2 million less than the budget for 2008-09, which included funding to complete the district’s heat and energy improve-

during the past year, said a number of surveys distributed to Steamboat students and parents indicated there was a need for more programs in the city. “We did a survey in the schools, and the survey responses were overwhelmingly supportive,” she said. “The Boys & Girls Club is not a daycare. It is, in fact, a club, similar to YMCA. It’s just an opportunity for kids to have a productive place to be instead of being at loose ends and instead of being unsupervised at home.” The club model also means that while students need to register beforehand, they do not need to sign up for each day they want to attend. “It’s for kids to come to one

There is enough need in the community that the program is unlikely to overlap with other offerings, Martyn said. “We don’t want to duplicate any of the programs that are currently going on.

ROUTT COUNTY

A search of a home just east of Hayden along U.S. Highway 40 netted six marijuana plants, an undisclosed amount of cured marijuana and some suspicious chemicals and liquids Friday, Routt County Sheriff’s Office investigators said. No one was at the home when the search warrant was served at about 8:30 p.m. Thursday, and no arrests have been made, Sheriff ’s Office Investigator Mike Curzon said. Curzon said the marijuana found in the home was not packaged in a way that would indicate it was prepared for distribution, and investigators are trying to figure out if the suspect has a medical marijuana license. Curzon would not speculate

��

as to whether he thought the liquids were used for methamphetamine production, but he confirmed that nothing thought to be processed meth was found. The home is on a 5-acre property in the 14000 block of West U.S. Highway 40. Curzon said deputies think the suspect, whose name he would not release, is on a rafting trip. Curzon also said information from a separate case led them to obtaining the search warrant for the Hayden-area property. After discovering the suspicious liquids Thursday, investigators called in a hazardous materials crew from the Colorado State Patrol to assist. Officers from the All Crimes Enforcement Team and Drug Enforcement Agency, and West Routt Fire Protection District firefighters also were involved in the investigation.

Propane suppliers quietly reduce size of refills DENVER

Backyard grillers may get a little steamed this holiday weekend when buying refilled propane tanks: They will be getting less fuel for their money than last Memorial Day. When oil prices soared in 2008, propane suppliers quietly reduced by two pounds the amount of gas pumped into each 20-pound tank, saying they wanted to avoid raising prices. Since then, propane prices have been cut in half as the price of oil has dropped. But smaller refills still are being sold nationwide by many dealers, and most buyers are unaware because the tank is the same size. “It’s a price increase,” retired lawyer Stuart Barr said Friday as he swapped a tank at a Home Depot store in Denver. “I’m a great believer in full disclosure. Give me the information.” The problem, consumers say,

is that no one tells them they’re getting less propane. Companies have adopted similar practices in the packaging of coffee, sugar and laundry detergent. “I’m not surprised,” said Tammi Dorsey, of Denver. Carrying a tank of propane from a store Friday, initially unaware that she got less this time. For the past year, tank exchanges at retail stores have generally cost $20 to $25. For a few bucks less, consumers can take their tanks to some stores to get them refilled instead of exchanging them. Those refills usually contain the full amount of fuel allowed by law. Until last year, Blue Rhino and Amerigas, two major suppliers, put 17 to 18 pounds of propane in each 20-pound tank. Tanks should not be filled completely for safety reasons. About a year ago, that amount was cut to 15 pounds to save consumers a price hike, Blue Rhino spokesman Chris Hartley said. “There are a number of com-

panies in different industries across the country addressing product packaging, just because of the soaring costs,” he said. Last year, all energy costs increased sharply, as did the price of steel used in tanks. Crude prices soared past $100 per barrel at the start of 2008 and climbed toward $150 by July. Propane futures hit $1.95 per gallon in the same month. Those prices all have fallen this year, which would suggest bigger profits for propane distributors. Hartley would not say if there were plans to return propane refills to the same levels as before the 2008 price spikes, but he did say that energy markets remain volatile. In the last year, propane futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange have dropped from about $1.73 a gallon to just above 71 cents. They have climbed 11 cents since January. Retailers who offer propane

say they have not increased the volume of fuel in each tank because propane companies have not reduced prices. Home Depot, which offers propane tank exchanges, said cutting the amount of propane in 20-pound tanks was an industrywide measure. There have been no customer

complaints, spokeswoman Jean Niemi said. But Jose Rivera, of Denver, did the math in his head and concluded that the extra money spent on propane could have helped pay for other cookout supplies. “That’s some steaks,” he said.

Daniel Gudino was being held without bond. Prosecutors Friday asked for more time to consult with the Gudino family before deciding on the charges. Gudino was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder and attempted murder Monday following an attack that killed

his brother, Ulysses, and injured their 38-year-old mother, Marina. A 7-year-old sister wasn’t hurt. Gudino’s father and a 12year-old brother weren’t home at the time. Both of the boy’s parents were in court Friday but left without commenting.

Group backs wolves in south Rockies �� Judith Kohler

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

Tired of waiting for federal action, a group that advocates restoring wolves to the Southern Rockies is trying to build interest among elected officials and others in the region. WildEarth Guardians is releasing a report promoting Rocky Mountain National Park and the western part of Colorado and north-central New Mexico as the next best places to restore wolves. Wolves from Canada were released in Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho in the mid-1990s to rebuild the population. Earlier this month, wolves were removed from the federal endangered species list in the Great Lakes region and parts of the Northern Rockies. Rob Edward, author of the WildEarth Guardians’ new report, said Friday that the Southern Rockies have the space, prey base and public support to expand the wolf’s territory. “We have vast wild areas in western Colorado,” Edward said. Scientific studies have shown that the Southern Rockies could support more than 1,000 wolves, Edward added. The region has plenty of prey

Stocks lose grip on early gains, Dow off 15 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK

Wall Street’s confidence took some heavy blows this week. Despite a strong rally Monday, stocks drifted lower for much of the week on a darkening economic outlook. In a now-familiar pattern, early gains were erased in the last hour of trading Friday as the market lost its will to move

higher. Major indexes ended down about 0.2 percent. Trading has been choppy during the past two weeks as investors began to doubt that a massive two-month rally this spring could be sustained. More bad indicators came this week when the Fed said unemployment could go as high as 9.6 percent, worse than its previous forecast, and Standard & Poor’s said the British government might lose is AAA credit rating.

Stocks traded most of the day higher Friday after better-than-expected results from several retailers including Sears Holdings, Gap and Aeropostale. But losses in financial and industrial shares wound up dragging the market down, marking the third time this week that stocks erased early gains to end lower. With few economic reports coming out this week, the market was left with little fuel to

continue a two and a half-month surge that has lifted stocks up more than 30 percent from 12year lows in early March. Next week’s economic calendar is much more heavily loaded, with key reports coming on home sales, orders for manufactured goods and consumer confidence. Whether those data please or disappoint the market could be the key to determining what becomes of the spring rally.

“Everything is overpriced,” said Harry Rady, chief executive and portfolio manager of Rady Asset Management. “A very long, protracted recession is still very much alive.” The Dow Jones industrial average declined 14.81, or 0.2 percent, to 8,277.32. The S&P 500 index slipped 1.33, or 0.2 percent, to 887.00, and the Nasdaq composite index lost 3.24, or 0.2 percent, to 1,692.01.

Supermax needs more room

��

Florence prison requires additional space for Gitmo inmates THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

The “Supermax” prison in Florence has been mentioned as a possible site to hold suspected terrorists now at Guantanamo Bay, but housing them there could be a logistical headache. The Denver Post reports that moving the Guantanamo prisoners to the maximum-security prison would mean transferring current prisoners elsewhere, expanding capacity and hiring additional staffers because the prison is already nearly full. Supermax houses some of the most dangerous prisoners in the world, including

Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski and Sept. 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui. Obama has called for the closure of Guantanamo by January. Sens. Mark Udall and Michael Bennet, D-Colo., said Wednesday they oppose using Supermax to house Guantanamo inmates. Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., said he would support using Supermax for the terrorist suspects if it is “the best facility for the purpose of the country.” Other sites mentioned by military officials as possible holding locations for Guantanamo inmates include Fort Leavenworth, Kan., the

Naval Consolidated Brig near Charleston, S.C., and Camp Pendleton, Calif. Supermax has about 480 concrete cells, and there was only one empty bed Thursday, said U.S. Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman Traci Billingsley. State Rep. Buffie McFadyen, a Democrat whose constituents include Florence residents, told The Denver Post there would need to be additional construction, such as a hardened perimeter, to make the prison more secure. McFadyen also said officials would have to build a separate facility. “It would have a different mission,” she said.

Credit card law a benefit

Officials claim proposal may bring some pitfalls to consumers Dave Carpenter

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

��20472019

��

The new credit card law is receiving widespread kudos as a victory for cardholders against the lenders that impose “gotcha” fees and penalties with scant justification and little notice. Indeed, an industry that has been virtually unregulated now will be reined in, in many ways, to customers’ benefit. Interest rates no longer will be allowed to be raised retroactively if you pay your bills. Terms will be clearer, over-the-limit fees curtailed and rates fairer. Still, there are pitfalls to the legislation passed by both houses of Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama on Friday, and some are likely to hurt consumers. “People can start to feel a lot more comfortable about the rules of the game,” said Adam Levin, chairman and founder of Credit. com, a San Francisco-based

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has said he expects the economy to begin growing again later this year, but the recovery is expected to be slow, with companies in no rush to hire. The Fed projects unemployment will stay high well into 2011. After California, Texas cut the second-most jobs of any state, with 39,500. Michigan lost 38,400 and Ohio 25,200.

Issuers still will have the ability to raise rates at any time for any reason, although that won’t apply to existing balances unless a customer is 60 days overdue with a payment. The banking industry itself hints at the possibility of acrossthe-board rate hikes. “The business model has changed,” said spokesman Peter Garuccio, of the American Bankers Association. “With that there will be ramifications, some not so good for the consumer.” ■ Annual fees: The free ride is likely to end for many who use their credit cards as a convenience and pay off their balances in full every month.

Not only are introductory rates likely to rise, APRs on existing accounts may well go up, too — especially if you do anything to show that you are a greater credit risk. If you are late on a payment, exceed your credit limit or even use too much of your limit, you could see an immediate increase in your rate, according to Bill Hardekopf, CEO of LowCards. com, which tracks credit card offers.

Almost everything went Detroit’s way as it extended its longest winning streak of the season. Brandon Inge homered, Josh Anderson made a critical defensive play, rookie Rick Porcello won his fourth straight FRIDAY’S GAME: start, and the Tigers topped the Rockies 3 Colorado Rockies, Tigers 4 4-3, on Friday night for their seventh victory in a row. “This is how we should be playing,” catcher Gerald Laird said about the streak, which began after a three-game sweep at Minnesota. “The key is how we bounced back and came out to play.” Porcello (5-3) gave up six hits and the lone Rockies run in the first six innings. A pair of defensive plays helped him leave the game with the lead. The right-hander, who won’t turn 21 until December, matched Dave Rozema’s 1977 team record for consecutive wins by a pitcher 20 years and younger, and he was quick to credit the rest of the lineup. “I still think there’s a lot of things I can improve on,” Porcello said. “The guys have been making plays all year, and they made them tonight. “It’s nice to have that kind of defense behind you.” Detroit got its first two runs off Ubaldo Jimenez (3-5) in the second when Gerald Laird came home on a wild pitch and on Placido Polanco’s RBI single. Inge hit his 12th homer of the season an inning later and drove in the club’s final run in the eighth. Jeff Larish’s hard slide into second broke up the double play that would’ve ended the eighth and allowed Clete Thomas to score. “It’s good baseball,” Leyland said about the combination of little things that added up to the win. “That’s the way it’s supposed to be played.

The season flew past coach Scott Lewer faster than the finals of the 100-meter dash, but not before the 50 members of the Steamboat Springs Middle School track team made an impression. “This was a great bunch of kids,” Lewer said about his team.

“They came out and worked hard, and I’m just so proud of what they accomplished in a very short season.” The middle school’s track team is made up of seventhand eighth-grade boys and girls. Lewer said the young student athletes opened the season inside the school’s hallways and gym, but finished by hosting nine other schools at the Steamboat Springs High School

track the first week of May. Lewer said it was the highlight of his team’s six-week, three-meet season. The team was scheduled to go to four meets, but nasty weather resulted in a cancellation of the East Grand meet. In addition to the finale in Steamboat, the middle school athletes also traveled to meets in Rangely and Craig. “We did OK,” Lewer said. “The Rangely meet was the first

time our seventh-graders had ever been on a track.” Lewer said his entire team was dedicated, energetic and optimistic during the season, with several young athletes rising to the top. Michael Yost, Colton Lewer and Dylan Wilkinson led the eighth-grade boys team, while Nikki Fry led the girls in the See Track, page 30

There still is plenty of opportunity for those hoping to throw their name in for the Steamboat Marathon. Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association special events director Kara Givnish said registration for the June 7 race is in tune with last year’s numbers. About 400 racers already have forked over the $75 entry fee. The event is capped at 500, though organizers are not expecting it to reach capacity. “We see it as a trend,” Givnish said. “We are right on par with last year’s numbers, but the years prior had more full marathon runners. No one is running as far these days. Still, we’re really happy with where we’re at.” The half-marathon, meanwhile, has been booked solid for weeks. That 13-mile trek topped out at 1,200 runners. “It’s a challenge, but one that’s still attainable for many people that maybe aren’t super athletic,” Givnish said about the interest in the race. The 10-kilometer race only has 200 competitors signed up. That’s not unusual, either. There is no cap on the number of people that can sign up for the $30 race, and many wait until the last minute before committing. The courses remain the same — with marathon and half-marathon runners streaming down toward Steamboat Springs from the north and the 10K racers winding through town. Still, regular racers will encounter a few changes. Packet pick-up for the race has been moved from its usual spot at Christy Sports to Olympian Hall at the base of

The Tennis Center at Steamboat Springs will be swarming with children this weekend. The center will play host to the U.S. Tennis Association’s Intermountain Section 12and-Under Memorial Day Tennis Championships. The event starts at 8 a.m. today and runs through Monday afternoon. “We started with this tournament in 1993, and it has been a terrific way for us to start our season,” tennis center director Jim Swiggart said. The event attracts the top 12-year-olds from a six-state area, and this year, it will have the largest field in its 26 years. There will be 32 boys battling it out on the courts, and 28 girls. The event is free to spectators. Swiggart also said two courts will remain open for the public.

There’s no banner over the front door advertising as much, but the Steamboat Triathlon’s under new management. That hasn’t done much to affect the interest in the latesummer Steamboat staple. Race organizer Joy Rasmussen said with three months remaining before the Aug. 30 race, registration is on track. The race currently is about 1/3 of the way to its 650-racer capacity. “We are really pleased with the results so far,” Rasmussen said. “We have a different management group this year, and so we’re hoping the race takes on a different flavor. So far, that’s been pretty cool.” Management of the fifth annual event falls this year to locals, after Barry Siff’s 5430 Sports company from Boulder opted not to continue with the Steamboat event. Rasmussen said that change will help bring a much more Steamboat-centric atmosphere to the event. She said the economy hasn’t slowed local sponsors, though organizers still are looking for a few more. Registering for the race costs $80 until June 15, when it bumps up to $90.

Pearl City plays Las Vegas Rugby continued from 27 against Los Angeles. Now, the team turns its attention to the May 30 and 31 Final Four in Glendale, just southeast of Denver, where the team will open against the Atlanta Renegades. In the other semifinal, Pearl City, Iowa, plays Las Vegas. Hurley said Pearl City is probably the favorite after making the Final Four last year.

He said he doesn’t know much about the Atlanta team, but with the way Aspen is playing, Hurley thinks the team will have every opportunity to advance to the finals. “Our goal is to get through the game on Saturday and making (the) final Sunday,” he said. “Our real goal is to win the championship.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com
