Octagon or octo-mom?

hate math. Which is why I sometimes have to have a little help from People magazine. This horrifying realization came to me the other night when my son quizzed me on his math homework. Trying to demonstrate what a whiz kid he is, he asked, “Do you even know how many sides an octagon has?” “Of course,” I snapped. “Eight. The octo-mom had eight babies, therefore, an octagon has eight sides. Like a stop sign.” My son rolled his eyes and returned to his math book. Clearly, I had racked up another point in the “My mom is a weirdo” column. But I was on a roll now. “‘Obtuse’ is a dummy — one french fry short of a Happy Meal — which is how Jon of ‘Jon and Kate’ is behaving,” I added. “He seems to be in the center

Joanne Palmer of a lot of love triangles lately, if you know what I mean.” More eye rolling. “Now an acute triangle is a hottie, better looking than all the other triangles, get it? Like Jennifer Aniston.” My son slammed his math book shut. I knew I had landed squarely in the “lock her up and throw away the key” column. “Celebrity math,” I cried as he walked away. “What a great way for right-brained people to learn math.” No response. Occasionally, I envy people, like my son, who are good at

math. It must be reassuring, comforting even, for math people to know there is always an answer. No matter what happens in life, two plus two is always going to equal four. Even if aliens take over the Earth and little green people run around bleeping at us to board the spaceship, two plus two still will be the correct answer. Math and I were never a good match. I came close to flunking geometry because, instead of memorizing the formulas, I scribbled short stories for the answers, instead. It was obvious two sides of the isosceles triangle were equal, so why go through all the trouble to prove it? I thought my teacher might like an original answer, something different to read. Perhaps a poem. He did not. Science was equally difficult. See Palmer, page 19

High school reverses course Staff, e-mails support classroom viewing of Obama speech

FOR THE STEAMBOAT TODAY

Steamboat Springs High School officials changed course Tuesday morning and aired President Barack Obama’s speech about education live in each classroom. The decision was in contrast to the school district’s initial plan of having students who were interested in hearing the presidential address go to the school’s media center. Instead, students who didn’t want to see Obama’s speech were allowed to go to the media center until it was done. Only about 25 students were in the media center when the speech began Tuesday. Principal Kevin Taulman said he received numerous e-mails from parents who were concerned the speech wouldn’t be shown at all. That response, as well as seeing the transcript of the speech in advance and getting feedback from school teachers and staff, led Taulman to alter the school’s initial plans. “The speech was worth taking time out of class,” he said. “It allowed students to see a speech specifically aimed at them from the president of the United

States. That doesn’t happen every day.” Taulman also said there’s a greater significance to having the school’s student body and faculty gather together as part of a larger assembly. “I still remember in fourth grade sitting down in class to watch whenever a space shuttle would take off. I feel like this gathering is important. As a nation, we have gotten away

from that, and it’s sad,” he said. When Obama’s speech concluded, some high school classes engaged in discussions about why it was given and why it was so controversial. Individual students also provided their perspectives on the effectiveness of the speech. Those students who chose not to listen cited one of two reasons See Obama, page 20

Hayden counselor hopes college experience helps in new role Jack Weinstein

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

HAYDEN

There’s one thing Nicole Dolence, the new counselor at Hayden High School, said she’s not worried about. “In a small high school like this, I won’t be mistaken for a student,” she said. “But it has happened in bigger schools where I did internships.” Dolence, 27, started her “first real counselor job” when Hayden began classes Tuesday for the 2009-10 school year. After working with at-risk youths last fall as a wilderness field counselor for Mountain Homes Youth Ranch in Vernal, Utah, Dolence, a native of Moorhead, Minn., said she wanted to get into schools and start her career. She was able to land a job with Moffat County High School through a grant program for at-risk and truant students for the second semester last school year. But when the year ended, so did her job. She wanted to stay in Northwest Colorado because she felt she didn’t get to spend enough time in the area. Fortunately, a job was available in Hayden. “Nicole was our strongest applicant without a doubt. She was the best fit,” said Principal Troy Zabel, who added that her background and training, including the time she spent in Moffat

County, made her a good addition to the high school. “I’m really excited to have her on board.” Dolence said she became interested in counseling after getting to know her high school counselor and thought it was a good job. Dolence said she always cared about people and wanted to get into a helping profession. But what really drives her, she said, is the energy in a school. “It’s fast-paced and always changing — no day is the same,” she said. “High school students have so much to offer the world. To be able to guide them in their next step in the world is a very fulfilling job.”

Pluses, minuses Dolence said there are advantages and disadvantages to being a young counselor advising high school seniors about college scholarships and applying to schools. She earned her graduate degree in school counseling from St. Cloud State University in May 2008. Dolence said recent experience with online processes frequently used in higher education, such as researching and applying to schools, helps in her new job.

EDITORIAL

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

A lost opportunity

t’s a sad day in America when the president of the United States can’t talk directly to schoolchildren about the value of education and the importance of them taking responsibility for their success in school and life. AT ISSUE The overblown President controversy surrounding President Barack Barack Obama’s 20-minute Obama’s speech broadcast live speech to schoolchildren Tuesday on C-SPAN and the White House’s Web site is, unfortuOUR VIEW nately, representative of where we are as a It’s nation — so politically disappointing that American polarized that even a straightforward talk politics have about education is met reached the with irrational resispoint where tance. The intensity of that polarization the president can’t speak to was felt even in Routt students about County, where the leaders of our three the importance public school districts education. were put in the unenviable position of deciding whether to appease the few parents who called to complain about the speech, the few who called to support it, or the vast majority who didn’t call at all. The late notice of the speech didn’t help, nor did the holiday weekend that prevented schools from having more time to prepare for it. Despite those challenges, our school districts should have shown the speech live to all students in their classrooms, where available. Students who didn’t want to hear the address from their president — or whose parents didn’t want them to hear it — certainly should have been given the chance to opt out, but the burden should have been on those students and families, not the other way around. In Steamboat, school officials made

the live broadcast available in school media centers as opposed to classrooms. Students who wanted to see it could leave their classes to do so. The district also planned to record the speech and make it available to teachers who want to use it at a later date. By Tuesday afternoon, the district’s Web site featured a link to the speech video so parents and their children could watch it together. Middle school Principal Tim Bishop said the district simply wanted to reach a compromise that worked for everyone. Steamboat Springs High School’s plan was adjusted at the last minute when Principal Kevin Taulman allowed the broadcast to be shown in individual classrooms. Students who didn’t want to watch it could go to the media center. “The speech was worth taking time out of class,” Taulman said. “It allowed students to see a speech specifically aimed at them from the president of the United States. That doesn’t happen every day.” We couldn’t agree more. And although we don’t doubt that every move made by the president and every other national political figure is calculated at some level, the text of Obama’s speech revealed nothing more than an inspiring message from the leader of our nation. If Obama’s speech motivated just one child in every classroom across America, the time taken away from regular curriculum was worth it. Students in Hayden didn’t get the chance Tuesday, because Superintendent Greg Rockhold said they’d be too busy on the first day of classes for the 200910 school year to listen to a presidential address about their education. We can’t think of a better time to stress the importance of education to students than on their first day of a new school year. Finally, South Routt Superintendent Scott Mader left it up to individual

teachers to decide whether to show the speech to their students. Mader told the Steamboat Today that he thought Obama’s message would be an important one for students to hear. We wish he would have taken that stand for his district and not put his teachers in the uncomfortable position of making that choice while in the midst of trying to build positive relationships with the parents of their students. Much of the controversy stemming from it centered on the inclusion of suggested lesson plans to accompany the speech. Part of the lesson plans encouraged students to “write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president.” Conservative pundits immediately criticized Obama for attempting to use a captive audience of children to push his political agenda. Nevermind that then President George H.W. Bush encouraged students to write a similar letter during a speech to them in 1991. It was a speech that reportedly led Democrats to demand an investigation into the taxpayer money spent by Bush on the address. The Obama White House called the current controversy “silly” but nonetheless changed the wording of the lesson plan activity to instead suggest that students “write letters to themselves about how they can achieve their short- and long-term education goals.” Democrats aren’t off the hook. Both parties seem to spend as much time assailing each other as they do working together to enact meaningful legislation for the betterment of our country. Regardless, when the sitting president of the United States wants to take less than half an hour to talk to kids about personal responsibility and their educations, we should listen. More important, our students should listen. We think an opportunity was lost Tuesday for many of Routt County’s schoolchildren.

THE NEW YORK TIMES

Maybe the economic stress has been too much. Looking back at the past few months, it’s fair to wonder whether the country isn’t going through a nervous breakdown. The political debate has been poisoned by birthers, deathers and wackos who smile proudly while carrying Herbert signs comparing the president to the Nazis. People who don’t even know that Medicare is a government program have been trying to instruct us about the best ways to reform health care. The administration’s most popular anti-recession initiative was a startlingly creative economic breakthrough known as the Cash for Clunkers program. During the weekend (presumably while the president was sleeping, because this occurred in the wee hours of the morning), White House officials whispered the official announcement that Van Jones would no longer be working in the administration. The White House wishes it had never heard of Jones, who was hired to be its point person on green jobs. It turns out that Jones had used a nasty anatomical slur to refer to Republicans and once signed a petition suggesting that President George W. Bush had advance knowledge of the Sept. 11 attacks. There is no end to the craziness. The entire Republican Party has decided that it is in favor of absolutely nothing. The president’s stimulus package? No way. Health care reform? Forget about it. There is not a thing you can come up with that the GOP is for. Sunshine in the morning? Harry Reid couldn’t persuade a

single Senate Republican to vote yes. Incredibly, the party’s poll numbers are going up. We need therapy. President Barack Obama addressed the nation’s public school students Tuesday, urging them to work hard and stay in school. The folks who bray at the moon were outraged. Some of the caterwauling on the right has likened Obama to Chairman Mao (and, yes, Hitler), and a fair number of parents have bought into the imbecilic notion that this is an effort at socialist or Communist indoctrination. As one father from Texas, put it: “I don’t want our schools turned over to some socialist movement.” The wackiness is increasing, not diminishing, and it has a great potential for destruction. There is a real need for people who know better to speak out in a concerted effort to curb the appeal of the apostles of the absurd. But there is another type of disturbing behavior, coming from our political leaders and the public at large, that is also symptomatic of a society at loose ends. We seem unable to face up to many of the hard truths confronting the U.S. as we approach the end of the first decade of the 21st century. The Obama administration’s biggest domestic priority is health care reform. But the biggest issue confronting ordinary Americans right now — the biggest by far — is the devastatingly weak employment environment. Politicians talk about it, but aggressive job-creation efforts are not part of the policy mix. Nearly 15 million Americans are unemployed, according to official statistics. The real numbers are far worse. The unemployment rate for black Americans is a back-breaking

15.1 percent. Five million people have been unemployed for more than six months, and the consensus is that even when the recession ends, the employment landscape will remain dismal. A full recovery in employment will take years. With jobless recoveries becoming the norm, there is a real question as to whether the U.S. economy is capable of providing sufficient employment for all who want and need to work. This is an overwhelming crisis that is not being met with anything like the urgency required. We’ve also been unable or unwilling to face the hard truths about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the terrible toll they are taking on our young fighting men and women. Most of us don’t want to know. Moreover, we’ve put the costs of these wars on a credit card, without so much as a second thought about what that does to our long-term budget deficits or how it undermines much-needed initiatives here at home. There are many other issues that we remain in deep denial about. It’s not just the bad economy that has thrown state and local budgets into turmoil from coast to coast. It’s our refusal to provide the tax revenues needed to pay for essential public services. Exhibit A is California, which is now a basket case. The serious wackos, the obsessive-compulsive absurdists, may be beyond therapy. But the rest of us could use some serious adult counseling. We’ve forgotten many of the fundamentals: how to live within our means, the benefits of shared sacrifice, the responsibilities that go with citizenship, the importance of a well-rounded education, and tolerance. The first step, of course, is to recognize that we have a problem.

Much-anticipated repairs on the Cog Road slide north of Hayden could start in about two weeks, county officials said. The Routt County Board of Commissioners approved a $1.2 million contract Tuesday for American Civil Constructors to do the work on Routt County Road 76, known as the Cog. The repairs could start in 15 days, said Paul Draper, Routt County Road and Bridge director. Work along Routt County Road 86 at the Elkhead slide is expected to be finished in about three weeks, Draper said. The county received a Department of Local Affairs energy impact grant to fund about $582,000 of the cost of repairing the two slides. That’s about $340,000 less than the county requested. Routt officials budgeted money for the slides but probably will need to pay more. “I think we just need to acknowledge that supplemental budgeting is going to be requested,” Commissioner Nancy Stahoviak said.

Steamboat OktoberWest Fall harvest celebration has new name

In late September, Colorado’s Rocky Mountains transform from an emerald green oasis of recreation to an astonishingly rich canvas of colors and adventure. To highlight the vivid change in seasons and to celebrate this time of year, Steamboat Springs has hosted various fall foliage festivals for the past 30 years. Showcasing this special time of year, the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association is introducing the inaugural Steamboat OktoberWest on Sept. 18 and 19. Harkening back to Steamboat’s Western roots, Steamboat OktoberWest will highlight our valley’s heritage and delicious local products in a fall harvest celebration. With the magnificent Yampa Valley as a backdrop, this familyfriendly event offers an abundant assortment of food, beer, activities and entertainment. The event is taking the best of the German Oktoberfest traditions and stamping them with Steamboat’s Western brand. No German beer here, just good ol’ Rocky Mountain beer, food and festivities. “OktoberWest is a solid addition to the Steamboat in the Summertime event lineup,” notes Kara Givnish, special events and sponsorship director at the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association. “Our goal is to create a lasting family event that celebrates the fall season and highlights Steamboat’s legacy as a Western town.” Steamboat OktoberWest was added to the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort

Association schedule of events last winter in response to a void of a fall foliage celebration. The goal of the event is to be as collaborative as possible and truly demonstrate the variety of local activities and products in our beautiful fall season. “Our long-term vision for this event is that it will expand the length of the promenade and include more partners,” said Sandy Evans Hall, executive vice president at the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association. “We look forward to Steamboat OktoberWest becoming a significant signature event for the base area so that it becomes something that is lasting in our community.”

What to expect As the last official hurrah in Steamboat Springs before the snow starts to fly, OktoberWest attendees can anticipate a celebration in the form of tasty food, diverse beers, great music and countless activities. Steamboat OktoberWest events will kick off Sept. 18 with a cruiser bike parade in Steamboat’s historic downtown, leading patrons to their favorite restaurants for beer tastings and food specials. The Pedaling Posse Parade will begin at 5 p.m. at Howelsen Hill and will lead participants to Little Toots Park at 12th and Yampa streets. Starting at 6 p.m. be sure to check out Suds & Grub, beer tastings and food specials at participating restaurants. Beer Tasting Tokens will cost $5 for 6 tokens. Early beer stein sales for Saturday’s events will be available Friday evening from 5 to 7 p.m. at Little Toots Park for $8. With Steamboat Ski Area

From one “golden birthday” to the next, some things haven’t changed in Joe Kelly’s life. On 9-9-1999, Kelly turned 9 and was featured in the South Routt NOW weekly newspaper with his dog, Amos. Amos is still by his side today as Kelly turns 19 on 9-9-2009. In that article and photo by Geri Bruggink, who ran the newspaper out of an office in Oak Creek, Kelly said he planned on celebrating his birthday by taking double-stuff Oreo cookies to share with his third-grade class. Bruggink asked him how he was going to spend his birthday with his family, and Kelly said he was going to “Eat cake all day!” Bruggink, contacted Tuesday, said she still remembers the interview. “When you’re 9, cake is probably everything,” she said. The photo was taken outside of Bonfiglio Drug & Liquor, next to the newspaper office. Kelly said the newspaper article earned him some local notoriety and questions from classmates. He graduated from Soroco High School in May and began working at Lakota Stucco. This winter, Kelly will work as a snowboard instructor at

those tests are conducted by a state lab. Crawford said she didn’t know whether the influenza A cases would be sent for further testing. She reiterated that the college continues to remind students to wash their hands frequently, cough into their elbows and stay home if they’re sick. Students also are asked to contact their student life coordinator or counselor if they become ill, but Crawford said it’s up to them whether to see a doctor. She said a part-time physicians’ assistant is available for students at the Alpine Campus.

Three students at Colorado Mountain College’s Alpine Campus have tested positive for influenza A, Debbie Crawford, a spokeswoman for the college system, said Tuesday. The college announced Friday that four Alpine Campus students were being treated for suspected cases of the flu. Suzi Mariano, the Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association’s public information coordinator, said positive tests for influenza A have to be sent for further sub-typing to determine whether they contain the H1N1 virus, known as swine flu.

“Because it tests (positive) for influenza A, it could be multiple strains of flu,” she said. “It doesn’t mean it’s H1N1. It’s sort of the first step in processing for that flu.” Crawford added that three additional Alpine Campus students were experiencing flu-like symptoms, and three others were ill, which may or may not be the flu. She said the first four cases reported last week were included in the nine she mentioned Tuesday. Crawford added that no students had been hospitalized. Mariano said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention only recommends testing for the H1N1 virus if someone is severely ill or hospitalized because

Craig assault case continued CRAIG

The case of a Craig man charged with assaulting an elderly couple was continued Tuesday until 2 p.m. Sept. 22 in Moffat County Court. James Lee, 31, is charged with first-degree assault, a Class 2 felony, as well as two counts of second-degree assault, first-degree burglary and second-degree burglary, all Class 3 felonies. Craig Police Department officers arrested Lee at about 2 a.m. Aug. 30 at the home of Howard

and Sharon Salman in the 400 block of West Sixth Street. According to a warrantless arrest affidavit filed by the police department, the officers responded to a 911 call Sharon made to law enforcement officials, and they found Lee standing in the Salman’s yard as Sharon yelled to officers that he was the man who assaulted her husband. Sharon told police Lee came to their home and demanded to be let in because he said it was his home. When her husband, Howard, went to a front window to see what was going on, Sharon

said Lee punched her husband through a screen. Sharon said Lee then tore out the screen and continued beating her husband while trying to drag him outside. She said she picked up a walking stick to defend her husband but that Lee took it from her and used it to further beat Howard. The affidavit states Lee told police he was at the home because a local real estate agent invited him to a party there and that he then pointed to a “for sale” sign with the agent’s picture on it in the Salmans’ yard.

Social Service demand up in Moffat from 498 the month before, 413 in January and 345 in August 2008. August 2008 was the last month food stamp enrollment declined. It fell by five cases from July 2008. Peer said Colorado Works, the state’s welfare program, also has been hit during the national recession. The June mark of 23 participating residents was the highest of any month in 2009 and 2008, and up from 22 the month before.

June marked the 10th consecutive month Moffat County Social Services registered an increase in its food stamp caseload. Social Services Director Marie Peer presented a caseload report to the Moffat County Commission at its meeting Tuesday. The number of residents who receive food stamps in June crossed the 500-person mark for

the first time Peer could remember. Food stamps generally are seen as the first indicator social services has that an area’s economy may be faltering, Peer has said, which means requests for other services generally increase along with food stamps. The food stamp program caseload increased by 172 cases since August 2008, about a 50-percent increase. A total of 517 residents collected food stamps in June, up

In the din of shrill yelps, rattling cages and throaty barks, Scooby’s voice stands out. The tawny-colored pit bull mix springs up with excitement when Humane Society treasurer Carol Scott approaches with a few bacon-flavored treats. When overly excited, Scooby’s bark sounds almost like his namesake, Scooby-Doo. For Scott, Scooby and his wagging tail are an easy target of affection.

“I took him home yesterday for a few hours, because he and Mollie get along so well,” she said, about her own dog. “I’d keep him if I could.” Mollie also used to live in the Craig Animal Shelter but has found a temporary home at Scott’s house. Scooby is one of 13 dogs still looking for a home. But Scott is hoping this will be his last week sleeping on his rubber cot at the shelter.

I accept unconventionality Palmer continued from 2 I struggled to accept the fact that an amoeba was just a cell. Surely anything that could divide had to have a brain? And what about its emotional life? Splitting up must be so hard. Didn’t it miss the other half of its body? For writers, there are no answers, only possibilities. There is no right way to begin a story but rather hundreds of ways to start. To begin this column, I could just as easily have written: “People magazine helps me with my son’s math homework.” Or, “Everything I know about seventh-grade math I learned from reading People magazine.” Maybe alliteration would be better: “Popular, puffy People magazine is my go-to resource

for seventh-grade math homework.” All of these possibilities can make you crazy. After years of agonizing about word choices — is it best to write “a cow jumped over the moon,” or did the cow leap, catapult, hop or skip? — many writers go crazy and spend their golden years shuffling around in their bedroom slippers staring at the lawn gnomes they’ve stuck into their front yard. Or staring at a blank wall. Or just shuffling. I accept the fact that I’m slightly loopy and unconventional. I don’t much care what other people think, which is why I’m sitting at my desk in a bathrobe held together with a dog leash. And, as long as my subscription to People magazine doesn’t expire, I should be able to hold my own, at least for the first trimester of seventh-grade math.

Work on Cog will start soon Slides continued from 11 stabilize those beams with horizontal anchor cables driven into the side of the hill and cemented to the bedrock, Draper said. Work should start in about 15 days and will last about two months. Draper said he expected it to be finished by Dec. 1. “The school bus will run without delays, otherwise people should expect delays,” he said. The problem on the Cog was that mud and moisture slid from a hillside above the road, pushing part of the pavement down another hill. The Cog was cut to one lane after the 2007-08 winter, and residents were concerned about safety. The new road will be stable and will include a guardrail, Draper said.

GeoStabilization is repairing the Elkhead slide in far western Routt County. The company is using “soil nails,” Draper said. Those consist of rebar, or reinforcing steel bar, surrounded by sand or gravel and driven far into the ground. GeoStabilization will then build a steel and concrete wall away from the road and will fill that in, widening C.R. 86 to two full lanes of traffic, Draper said. The road has slid in that spot for years, he said. Part of the challenge of dealing with the slide is that a creek runs below it and carries the slide dirt away. The slide has accelerated. “In the last two years, something has changed,” Draper said. The repairs should be done in about three weeks, he said.

in the park until late Monday night. “I couldn’t get the kids off it,” she laughed. President Judy Deming said the event raised more than $4,700 through a silent auction, band and comedian, hot dog sales, shirt sales, a horseshoe tournament and other activities. The auction alone raised $1,000, she said. Although not all the bills have been tallied, Deming said she expects the nonprofit group to clear about $2,500. That money will be used for next year’s event, she said. “We had a bigger turnout in the park than we’ve had in years,” she said. “Everything just went

really well.” Oak Creek Police Department officer Eileen Rossi said the Labor Day festivities went off without any major problems, and it was one of the most relaxed events she has experienced. “I’ve done 10 of them now, and it seemed less stressful and everything went very smoothly,” she said. As Deming, Wisecup and the committee tried to return to a more traditional Labor Day this year, two of the biggest changes were the removal of the beer tent from Decker Park and asking people to not bring their dogs into the park. Although the Oak Creek Town Board declined to pass an ordinance forbidding dogs in the park, Deming said most

people respected the request to keep dogs out of the park. Rossi agreed and said the dogs she saw were on leashes and did not cause problems. “We were in the park all weekend, and everybody had dogs on a leash, and it seemed like everything was peaceful,” she said. The lack of beer caused a few complaints, Deming said, but there were also many families enjoying the park during that time. Deming said she likely will continue to work on the Labor Day program next year. “We did have a lot of changes this year, and I think it went so good this year, I don’t think we’ll change a lot,” she said. “If we change anything, it might be beer in the park.”

Kelsey Butler is a senior at Steamboat Springs High School and an intern for the Steamboat Pilot & Today.

To decide whether to allow Lowell Whiteman Primary School students to watch President Barack Obama’s address to the nation’s schoolchildren Tuesday, Nancy Spillane, leader of the school, decided to do her homework. After reading a transcript of the speech and determining it was consistent with the school’s message, Spillane e-mailed parents before school Tuesday to let them know the students would be watching it in their classes. In her e-mail, Spillane also included links to previous speeches to the nation’s schoolchildren delivered by Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. Students did not watch the president’s address live at The Lowell Whiteman School, said Walt Daub, leader of the school. Instead, students will view it Sept. 20 during a prearranged all-school meeting, he said. After it’s aired, Daub said students will be separated into

groups with a teacher to discuss educational — not political — issues about an “essential question” that hasn’t been determined. “We don’t want the kids to sit passively,” he said. “We want them to process it and think about what it means to their education.” Daub said the viewing would have happened this Friday, but students at the private high school are leaving for scheduled outdoor trips. At Christian Heritage School, administrator Dave Entwistle said Obama’s speech was not aired live in any classroom because the school doesn’t have cable TV. He said a high school history class read the text version and discussed it, and a second-grade class attempted to watch the address but had trouble with the streaming video on the Internet. Entwistle said that class might try again today. — Jack Weinstein

for doing so: they didn’t think the speech was important, or they wanted to use that time to get other work done. “It really doesn’t have that much educational value,” student Sean Seams said. “If it focused on what we were learning in class, then maybe I would watch it.” None of the students in the school’s media center cited a dislike of Obama or his policies as the reason for leaving their classrooms during the live address.

Disabled advocates oppose budget cuts ��

��

DENVER

Furloughed state workers, as well as advocates for the disabled, are urging lawmakers to rethink the latest round of budget cuts brought on by the recession. About 200 people turned up at a rally against the cuts Tuesday at the Capitol. The cuts include closing units to treat children, teens and senior citizens at the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Fort Logan and moving them to community facilities instead. Disabled people waiting to receive Social Security benefits would no longer get $200 monthly payments from the state to help them in the meantime. Some cut opponents want lawmakers to come back for a special session this fall and consider raising more money by eliminating tax credits and exemptions to help reverse the cuts.

CSU-Pueblo campus branch sees increase in enrollment PUEBLO

There’s a new dorm and a new football team at CSUPueblo — but the changes go much deeper than that. School officials say the Colorado State University branch that once catered only to local students is now looking far beyond southern Colorado. Between the fall semesters of 2007 and 2009, the number of entering freshmen increased to 1,068 from 626, and the total head count reached 5,094, up from 4,142. Dorms were so crowded last year that even after doubling occupancy in some rooms, the school had to rent two nearby hotels to handle the overflow. The university also saw a remarkable jump — 63

��

percent — in the number of students coming from outside Colorado. School president Joe Garcia says the campus is coming into its own. “In the past, we didn’t look beyond Pueblo County, but there are a lot of people looking for a small university where they can get a good education,” Garcia told The Denver Post.

Aspen police have responded to about 200 bear sightings and run-ins with people in the town in August, up from 16 last August, chief Richard Pryor said. Wildlife officials say plentiful rainfall this year has damaged some of the bears’ main natural food source — berries — sending them scavenging for food in this wealthy ski town. But bears also are finding that they don’t need to go foraging in the woods because they are becoming so adept at simply opening locked trash bins or prying open windows and raiding the fridge.

Afghan recount ordered because of fraud charges THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AROUND THE WORLD KABUL

A U.N.-backed commission found “convincing evidence” of fraud Tuesday in Afghanistan’s presidential election and ordered a recount of suspect ballots in at least three provinces, a process that could take months. At the same time, Afghan officials released new returns that give President Hamid Karzai 54 percent of the vote with nearly all ballots tallied, enough to avoid a run-off unless large numbers of tainted ballots are ultimately thrown out. The separate announcements from the complaints commission, which is dominated by U.N.-appointed Westerners, and the election commission, which is filled with Karzai appointees, could set the stage for a showdown. The image of a crooked Afghan president rigging the vote threatens to discredit the entire U.S.-led mission at a time when NATO casualties are mounting and American, European and Canadian voters are fatigued and disenchanted

with the war. “The perception of fraud will shorten the length of time that one can expect foreign support,” said Ronald E. Neumann, a former U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan. “People will just get disgusted. They’ll say, ‘Why do I sacrifice my son for a leadership that cannot rally the country fairly?”’

Fines proposed for going without health insurance WASHINGTON

Americans would be fined as much as $3,800 for failing to buy health insurance under a plan that circulated in Congress on Tuesday as divisions among Democrats undercut President Barack Obama’s effort to regain traction on his health care overhaul. As Obama talked strategy with Democratic leaders at the White House, the one idea that most appeals to his party’s liberal base lost ground in Congress. Prospects for a government-run plan to compete with private insurers sank as

a leading moderate Democrat said he could no longer support the idea. The fast-moving developments put Obama in a box. As a candidate, he opposed fines to force individuals to buy health insurance, and he supported setting up a public insurance plan. On Tuesday, fellow Democrats publicly begged to differ on both ideas. Democratic congressional leaders put on a bold front as they left the White House after their meeting with the president. “We’re re-energized; we’re ready to do health care reform,”

said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, of Nevada. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., insisted the public plan still is politically viable. “I believe that a public option will be essential to our passing a bill in the House of Representatives,” she said.

Health workers are under pressure to get flu shots ALBANY, N.Y.

Tens of thousands of health care workers who typically avoid flu shots are under more pressure than ever to get vac-

cinated as hospitals and clinics prepare for a spike in swine flu cases this fall and winter. Roughly half of health workers skip the immunizations, raising two concerns: If doctors and nurses get sick, who will treat what could be millions of Americans reeling from seasonal or swine flu? And could infected health workers make things worse by spreading flu to patients? New York, the first state to be hard-hit by swine flu, is requiring all health workers to get immunized against both types of flu.

BULL RIDING

Two rounds of bull riding weren’t enough at the 2009 Professional Bull Riders Rocky Mountain Bull Bash on Sunday afternoon at Brent Romick Rodeo Arena. When the dust cleared after the final round, judges were forced to used a coin to determine whether Shane Proctor or Jordan Hupp would get a shot to climb on top of Brass Knuckles for an additional $5,000 bonus ride. “It was crazy,” Bull Bash promoter Annie Mortensen said. “It’s very, very rare to have a tie in bull riding, and these guys were tied all the way through.” Proctor won the coin toss and earned a shot at the bonus bull. Proctor was on board the last time Brass Knuckles had been ridden two years ago. But this time around, the bull won the contest, and Proctor and Hupp each took home $3,808 dollars for the day. Bull rider J.C. Navarro won the long go with an 89-point ride but failed to make eight seconds in the final round. In the short go, a pair of Glen Southwick bulls provided the top scores for their riders. Proctor scored 87.5 points on Orange Whip, and Hupp matched the score on Southwick’s Red Eye. The two had both scored 87 points in the long go, the first part of the Bull Bash that thinned the crowd of riders for the final stage, the short go. Rankin Lindsey finished third, Bryan Richardson was fourth, and Josh Koschel and Matt Werries shared fifth place. Navarro held on for seventh and local favorite Jake Booco, of Hayden, who was fourth after

GLENWOOD SPRINGS

Eighty minutes weren’t enough to settle matters. An additional 10 minutes of overtime didn’t do the trick, either. Even with both teams producing a number of scoring chances, Tuesday’s high school boys soccer showdown between Glenwood Springs and Steamboat Springs went down as a scoreless draw. It was all too fitting an end result, given the teams’ history of dramatic play at Glenwood’s Stubler Memorial Field. And it was an ending Steamboat’s Tony Rende

gladly took. In recent years, his Sailors have left Glenwood reeling from devastating defeats. TUESDAY’S GAME: “Last year, Sailors 0 we lost here Demons 0 with two minutes left,” the senior said. “The year before, we lost in overtime. I thought we fought hard. I thought everyone on the team was working their hardest. We gave a pretty good effort.” The Demons, playing without a pair of scoring threats in forwards Travis Whitman and Sydney Van Horn, walked off the field feeling like they, too,

dodged a bullet. “It was a good test tonight,” Glenwood coach John Mount said. “With the holes we have on the team from injuries, I thought our younger guys did well coming up. We moved some guys around tonight. Our defense was stellar.” Whitman is sidelined with what appears to be a posterior cruciate ligament injury. He’s also battling a strained calf. Mount’s not sure when he’ll be back. Van Horn’s saddled with an ankle injury and could return as early as next week. Steamboat, too, had to deal See Soccer, page 29

The Colorado Rockies had their two best power hitters out of the lineup with stiff backs. So Eric Young Jr. took it upon himself to provide a little pop, hitting his first career homer in a 3-1 victory against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night. TUESDAY’S With Troy TulGAME: owitzki and Ian Rockies 3 Stewart out with Reds 1 back ailments, the Rockies went with a makeshift infield. Part of that included Young stepping in at second base. He certainly stepped up at the plate, not only hitting a solo homer, but also scoring after a leadoff double in the first. “That’s why they put me at the top of the lineup, to get something going and hopefully ignite the rest of the lineup,” Young said. “After the double, the team was excited, and after the home run, everyone was excited for me. It made it even more special for me.” The win was the fifth straight by the Rockies and moved them 19 games above .500 (79-60) for the first time in franchise history. It also ensured the National League wild-card leaders of remaining ahead of San Francisco, which lost to San Diego later Tuesday. Mixing up his sinker and slider, Jason Marquis (15-10) kept the Reds off-balance all night. He allowed one run and four hits in 7 1/3 innings. Marquis struck out a season-high seven — mostly with his slider — and got 12 groundball outs with his trademark sinker. “This was quite a step-up performance by Jason tonight,” Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. “He had a terrific slider.”

For the first time in the sixyear history of the Steamboat Women’s Interclub Golf League, the traveling trophy for the winning team has a new home. The summer-long league came to an end last week, and at the post-season celebration, members of the Rollingstone Ranch Golf Club’s team learned they had earned the title. “We won it five years straight,” said Ruth McClelland, of the Steamboat Golf Club. “There’s a lot of pride that goes along with the title. The four clubs are all very close, so if you happen to have a bad week, it’s hard to get it back.” This year, the women at the Rollingstone Ranch Golf Club knocked off the perennial Steamboat Golf Club powerhouse to claim the title and take home the trophy for low net score. For the second year in a row, the women at Haymaker Golf Course earned the trophy for the low gross score. “We all want to win,” said Barb Simms, of the Haymaker team. “But the important thing is that we get out and play in this league and meet the women from other courses. It’s a great group of ladies.” The Steamboat women’s league includes teams from

all four Steamboat Springs courses: Steamboat Golf Club, Rollingstone Ranch Golf Club, Haymaker Golf Course and Catamount Ranch and Club. This year, each of the four courses hosted the ladies once. “When we started this, the idea was to get all the women golfers in town together during the course of the summer,” McClelland said. “It’s been very successful. The league allows us to play with women from other clubs that we might not see otherwise.” The league has been fairly competitive through the years, with teams striving to earn the traveling trophy that goes with the low net score and the lowgross trophy after it was introduced a couple of years ago. In the past, the league featured match play, with players going head-to-head throughout the summer. The teams also met at each of the courses several times during the course of the summer. But this year, league teams only played each of the courses once, and the format was shifted to stroke play. Because of the changes, the scores were tallied when the league came to an end Aug. 31 at the Steamboat Golf Club, and a winner was crowned at that time. “This is the first time we’ve won it, so everybody on our team was pretty excited,” said Mary Effinger, of the Rollingstone Ranch team. “The shift in for-

mat made a difference. This year, it was a little more individual, but it’s always fun to play as part of a team.”

Aces abound The golf season may be winding down in the Yampa Valley, but for several area golfers the first week of September was the perfect time to hit the perfect shot. On Aug. 31, Mary Weiss aced the No. 3 hole at the Steamboat Golf Club. Then on Sept. 2, Luke Brosterhous and Connie Loken scored back-toback hole-in-ones on No. 12 at Haymaker. Craig Seitz capped off the week with an ace on No. 7 at Haymaker. “It never gets old,” Brosterhous said about the third hole-in-one of his career — the second on that hole. But Brosterhous wasn’t the only golfer celebrating on No.12. A few minutes later, Loken teed off with a 5-iron and watched her ball bounce on the green and then roll into the hole. Seitz scored his ace Friday afternoon, to the delight of the four other guys he was playing with. “They didn’t congratulate me, there were no high-fives,” Seitz said. “They just headed straight to the beverage cart, which just happened to be right there.” See Golf, page 29

The U.S. Nordic combined team left for Norway two weeks ago hoping to train a few days with the always-strong Norwegians and see how well the team’s summer training program has worked. On Tuesday, U.S. Nordic combined coach Dave Jarrett said he feels good with where the team stands Demong heading into the winter. “We were encouraged by the competitions,” Jarrett said. “They were kind of like scrimmages. If we had not been competitive, we would have known we still had a lot of work to do. As it is, we can still work to improve, but I feel confident with where we are at right now.” Veteran and four-time Olympian Todd Lodwick looked strong last weekend and won

the Lillehammer SuperSprint Title on Saturday. The next day, American Bill Demong finished second in a 10-kilometer individual Gundersen event after getting edged at the finish line by Norway’s Mikko Kokslien. The finish came down to a four-way sprint between Kokslien, Demong, Magnus Moan and Jan Schmid. Moan was third and Schmid placed fourth. Jarrett said Lodwick finished sixth in the event despite a disappointing day on the jump hill. Brett Camerota was 10th, Carl Van Loan was 12th and Bryan Fletcher placed 14th in the senior field. The Americans also had a strong showing in the junior division, with Taylor Fletcher placing third in a field filled with some of the world’s most promising juniors. Junior World Champion OleChristian Wendel, of Norway, topped the junior field and was followed by teammate Truls Johansen. Taylor Fletcher was ninth

after the jumping but posted the fastest cross-country time to come within six seconds of second place. Other top American finishes included Nick Hendrickson in sixth, Brett Denney in eighth and Michael Ward in 12th. Adam Loomis was 13th, and Cliff Field was 14th. “This was a good camp for us,” Jarrett said. “All of our athletes got a chance to see where they stand and got an idea of what they need to do to improve.” Jarrett said the team will return to Park City, Utah, for a few weeks before heading to Lake Placid, N.Y., for this year’s U.S. National Championships in October. “We are planning to make a few more jumps this week and then head for home,” Jarrett said. “This camp has been great for Todd and Bill, but I also liked what I saw from some of the younger guys.” — To reach John F.

Bohlmann: Glenwood a tough place for us with key absences. “We’ve got a couple of sick players, an injury and a couple of other issues where players weren’t able to suit up today,” Steamboat coach Rob Bohlmann said. Those who did suit up traded jabs — in a purely figurative sense — all night long. Scoring chances came in flurries. In the first half, Ryan Buchanan nearly had Glenwood up 1-0. Taking a long forward pass from teammate Kevin Hartmann with room to sprint up the left flat, Buchanan separated enough from a pursuing defender to get off a toughangled shot from near the end line. The 27th-minute strike rolled just wide of the far post, though. The Demons again got a good look at goal just before

halftime, when Garrett Brown directed a forward pass to Casey Montoya, who had a short shot scooped up by charging Steamboat goalkeeper Connor Birch. Steamboat’s best first-half opportunity came in the 34th minute, when a ball settled in front of Christopher Holmquist, who chipped a short-range shot high. There were chances in the second half, too. In the 64th minute, Glenwood’s Clay Hawkins followed a Steamboat-struck ball across the end line and quickly set up the resulting corner kick, booting a pass to teammate Garrett Brown, whose mid-range liner flew just high over the crossbar. The Demons’ Kellin Casey took a pass from Buchanan less than two minutes later, quickly bringing the ball up the right flat ahead of the defense. But his shot missed the mark.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Denver Broncos might have solved one of their many mysteries Tuesday after watching Kyle Orton take snaps, hand off cleanly and complete passes at practice for the first time since slicing open his right index finger nine days earlier. “It was obvious today that he could do it all,” offensive Orton coordinator Mike McCoy said. Orton wore a glove on his throwing hand and thin gauze and tape on his injured finger to protect the dislocated knuckSimms le that poked through the skin in the Broncos’ third preseason game. “Obviously, there’s a little bit of restriction for a quarterback when you’ve got something on your hand. But for the most part, everything was clean,” coach Josh McDaniels said. “Hopefully everybody that was out there today will be ready to go on Sunday.”

McDaniels said the determining factor on Orton’s status will be “a combination of the healing process and then how effective he can be. If he’s able to be the most effective guy we’ve got, then certainly he’ll play.” If Orton has a setback, Chris Simms, who returned Sunday from a high ankle sprain, would get the nod. During the 20 minutes the media were allowed to watch the workout, Orton threw accurate short passes in warm-up drills and also handed off with his right hand without any apparent problems. The media was escorted out of the practice facility before the Broncos began the team portion of their workout and weren’t allowed access to players once practice was over. Orton declined to comment before practice. He’s scheduled to speak with the media today, another sign the Broncos expect him to start. Simms said the smart money certainly was on Orton. “Yeah, I expect Kyle to be ready,” he said. “He’s a competitor; he’s a tough guy.” Still, Orton’s injury could force some changes in the play-

calling in McDaniels’ head coaching debut. “Yeah, a finger’s tough,” Simms said. “I know I’ve dislocated my finger a few times, and it’s your moneymaker. You need your hands to throw that ball. So if you’re not feeling right there, it takes a little getting used to, but I think he’ll be OK.” The other big question surrounding the Broncos is whether Brandon Marshall will continue to be a headache or resume his role as the team’s top receiver. Marshall was reinstated Sunday after being suspended Aug. 28 for detrimental conduct stemming from insubordinate actions during practice, and McDaniels has said he’ll entertain an escalating scale of discipline for Marshall if his misbehavior continues. However, McDaniels said Marshall has had a great attitude and work ethic since returning to the team. Marshall, who has clashed with the organization since the team rebuffed his overtures for a new contract and did not act on his request for a trade, participated in just a few offseason practices. Despite that, McDaniels suggested Marshall could make a significant contribution against the Bengals.

Andy Murray’s US Open ends early Clijsters aims to eliminate 2nd Williams sister from tourney

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Disappointed. That was the word Andy Murray used over and over to describe how he felt about his exit from the U.S. Open. After all, Murray arrived at Flushing Meadows ranked No. 2, owner of a tour-leading 37 wins on hard courts this season — and quite sure he was prepared to win his first Grand Slam title a year after reaching the U.S. Open final. Instead, he heads home after the fourth round, a 7-5, 6-2, 6-2 loser to No. 16 Marin Cilic, of Croatia, on Tuesday. “I just struggled today. I played poorly,” Murray said. “I could have been better in pretty much every part of the game, whether it was mental or serve, forehand, backhand, returns.” And now Murray will slide back to No. 3 or No. 4 in the rankings, behind Rafael Nadal, who will move up by virtue of beating No. 13 Gael Monfils, 6-7 (3), 6-3, 6-1, 6-3, in Tuesday night’s last match to get to the quarterfinals. Nadal-Monfils featured two

men often cited as the best athletes on tour, and it was a spirited contest early, filled with long points, terrific retrieving, powerful hitting — and animated celebrations by both. Monfils eventually began to show signs of fatigue, leaning over to gasp for air between points, and Nadal took control. Nadal, trying to complete a career Grand Slam by winning the U.S. Open, will meet No. 11 Fernando Gonzalez, of Chile. Gonzalez eliminated No. 7 JoWilfried Tsonga, of France, 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (3), 6-4. “First thing that I have to try is play my tennis,” Gonzalez said. “If I don’t play my tennis, I mean, I have no chance.” Murray definitely had his chances. Ahead 5-4, he wasted two set points. By the second set, Murray was grimacing while flexing his left wrist, which he acknowledged afterward had been bothering him for about a week. By the third, Murray was moping about the court. “Regardless of my wrist, I lost the match,” Murray said.

“I returned poorly. He served well — and that was really the difference.” Murray’s loss, at least for one evening, turned into the talk of a tournament that had been generating very little buzz about the men’s field. Instead, the focus has been on the women’s event, thanks to the surprising emergence of 17-year-old American Melanie Oudin and the quick comeback of former No. 1 Kim Clijsters. Oudin plays in the first major quarterfinal of her nascent career today — she obliged autographseekers after practicing Tuesday — and Clijsters already is into the semifinals, where she will face a Williams for the second time this tournament. Clijsters beat Venus Williams in the fourth round; now she will take on defending champion Serena Williams, who improved to 23-1 in Grand Slam singles matches this season by beating No. 10 Flavia Pennetta, of Italy, 6-4, 6-3, on Tuesday night. Looking ahead to facing Clijsters, the younger Williams said: “She’s such a great person and I, like, only wish the best for her. But not in the next match.”

STEAMBOAT TODAY

Hermacinski: Feedback mostly negative Council continued from 1 mercial space on 487 acres just west of current city limits. The plan reviewed Tuesday calls for various improvements at different stages of the development and identifies Steamboat 700’s share of costs. Public improvements called out in the plan include major upgrades to and a widening of U.S. Highway 40 from 13th Street to the project, other road improvements, construction of a new community center, transit stops, new buses, parks, trails and a new public safety building.

��

At a potential cost of more than $100 million, Hermacinski said improvements to U.S. 40 alone are so expensive that they threaten the viability of the project and undermine the No. 1 goal of the WSSAP: affordable housing. She said the WSSAP was written under the assumption that the state and federal government would help pay for the improvements, a prospect that is now unlikely — at least in the near future — given budget constraints. “One of the major assumptions on which this was based has shifted. We lost all that state and federal funding, but we’ve still said to the developer, ‘Wrap it in gold,’” Hermacinski said, referring to development plans that demand affordable housing and amenities such as heated bus stops and 8-foot-wide sidewalks. Steamboat 700 attorney Bob Weiss sought to reassure council. He said that cost estimates are overly conservative, grant money from the state and feds may return and that, in any event, the annexation agreement is structured in such a way that the city bears no risk. “This is the defining moment for this City Council and this community. Do we abandon 15 years of planning because there’s uncertainty in the future?” said Weiss, who noted the substantial investments made in the project by the developers. “Imagine somebody doing that again under this kind of uncertainty.” Weiss argued, as have other Steamboat 700 officials, that growth is coming to the Yampa Valley no matter what and that Steamboat 700 is a partner to help pay for several sorely need improvements. That partner won’t exist if growth goes to outlying areas of the county, Weiss said. “Then you’re going to have hell to pay,” he said.

If you go What: Steamboat 700 open house and town hall meeting When: 4:30 p.m. today Where: Steamboat Springs Community Center, 1605 Lincoln Ave. Call: City Planning and Community Development Department at 871-8258 for more information

Agenda 4:30 p.m. Topics including affordable housing, transportation, parks and open space, fiscal impact and water rights covered at individual tables. 6 p.m. Group question-and-answer session

Councilman Jon Quinn agreed. He said that while it is easy to say “no” to such a large and complex project at a time of economic uncertainty and as a City Council election nears, such a move would be foolish. “We’re losing sight of the ball here,” he said. “We have created a framework here that obligates this development to pay for itself. … Anybody who believes we can stop growth is out of their mind. This opportunity, I think, is not going to come again.” Hermacinski, the only incumbent running in a contested race for re-election this year, said Monday that feedback has been mostly negative since she started soliciting residents’ opinions of Steamboat 700 in advertisements and while knocking on doors. “There are very few people who say they think it should happen,” Hermacinski said. “There’s far more opposition to it than support.” An open house and town hall meeting to discuss Steamboat 700 is at 4:30 p.m. today at the Steamboat Springs Community Center.
