Jade Stevens, 21, sits on the sidewalk near her wrecked Jeep on Thursday morning after being struck by a semitrailer on westbound Lincoln Avenue. Stevens was headed west in the right-hand lane when the truck attempted to turn right from the left-hand lane. The impact tipped the Jeep, which slid to a stop on its side. Stevens was ejected from her vehicle, and she apparently suffered minor injuries in the accident.

Police cited the driver of the truck, 33-year-old Wesley Williams, for careless driving causing bodily injury, Steamboat Springs Police Department Sgt. Dale Coyner said. The driver of the Jeep, 21year-old Jade Stevens, was knocked out of her vehicle as it rolled onto its side. She was not wearing a seat belt, Coyner said.

Stevens was not immediately transported to Yampa Valley Medical Center by medical crews. However, she later decided to seek medical treatment, Coyner said.

Partners in Routt County is in the unusual position of having won a grant that has increased its financial need. The mentoring organization that serves at-risk children ages 7 to 17 received a federal stimulus grant of $12,600, executive director Libby Foster said, but the award came with the condition that Partners add a seventh, full-time AmeriCorps mentor to its roster. Foster said the grant amount is less than half of the cost of the new mentor, who has been placed at the Steamboat Springs Middle School. Foster said proceeds from Partners’ annual Java & Jazz fundraiser will help support the addition. In its third year, Java & Jazz

The sensors cut the power to irrigation systems while it is raining and allow them to kick back on, if needed, after the rain passes. Zuschlag said a wireless model costs $125. Kathy Olsen, of Lotus Designs, said xeriscapes aren’t just rocks and cactuses, and can be quite beautiful. “It’s about trying to find a balance between what we want and what the environment is going to allow us to do. Xeriscape doesn’t mean you have to plant all droughttolerant, native plants,” said Olsen, who said she hopes the landscapes will become more popular. “The only way we can do it is by doing it. … We have this tendency to think that we have to have a lawn because

Employing sustainable landscapes and efficient irrigation practices aren’t just good for the environment; they can save homeowners a boatload of money and time. That was one of the messages conveyed at a sustainable landscapes workshop and garden tour Thursday at Yampa River Botanic Park. The Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association’s Sustainable Business Program presented the event in partnership with the Mount Werner Water and Sanitation District, the city and the Steamboat II Metropolitan District. Speakers focused on xeriscaping, the practice of water conservation through creative landscaping, emphasizing native plants and efficient irrigation practices. Chris Zuschlag, of IDesign, said the Yampa Ranger Station recently replaced a turf lawn with efficiently irrigated native landscaping. “They’re saving 70 percent of their water bill now. They’re not mowing it. They’re not doing anything to it,” Zuschlag said. “If you want a golf course … you’ve got to be married to your yard.” Zuschlag said no landscaping is 100 percent maintenance free, but he offered several tips to save time and money. His No. 1 recommendation was to

our neighbor has a lawn.” In addition to saving private individuals and businesses money, Mount Werner Water General Manager Jay Gallagher said conserving water saves public funds as well by delaying the need to construct new filtration bays. Unavoidably, the same water that is filtered for domestic use in Steamboat Springs also is used for lawn irrigation. “We’re trying to cut down the rate of water use growth here in the valley so we don’t have to invest in water infrastructure,” Gallagher said. “Irrigation plays a big piece in this, and landscaping plays a big piece in this. This can save community time and money in infrastructure.” — To reach Brandon Gee, call 367-7507 or e-mail bgee@steamboatpilot.com

Planning reviews Steamboat 700 Commissioners aim to make recommendation to council next week Brandon Gee

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Concerns continue to be addressed, but hesitancy continues to be expressed about the proposed Steamboat 700 annexation. The Steamboat Springs Planning Commission reviewed the project in its entirety Thursday. The hearing was restricted mostly to presentation and discussion. Commissioners aim to make a recommendation to City Council about the project next week. Steamboat 700 is a master-planned community of 487 acres that proposes about 2,000 homes and 380,000 square feet of commercial space just west of current city limits. “Tonight, we’re talking about the really, really big decision,” Planning Services Manager

Oak Creek Trustee and Police Commissioner Dave Ege on Thursday tendered his resignation from the Oak Creek Town Board, effective at the end of the meeting. In a statement he read to the Town Board, Ege used his resignation to call the remaining board members to take a strong stance with the Routt County Sheriff’s Office. After his resignation, fellow Police Commissioner and Town Board Member Chuck Elliott presented Ege with an “Oak Creek Police Commissioner” sheriff’sstyle badge, to a standing ovation of the board and attendees. “This, to me, is a hard announcement to make. Due to an unforeseen personal issue, I must resign effective immediately,” he read. Ege said he would like to be involved in the selection of his successor, if possible. “I also urge the Town Board to be very firm when dealing (with) the county. We are once again being thrown down the same path that has proven repeatedly to fail,” he said, referring to the law enforcement issues the town faces.

“We are not second-class citizens. We are county tax payers,” he read. The town has been embroiled in a dispute with the county about police coverage for the town. The Sheriff’s Office has said it would start charging for more than the basic response level. After Ege announced his resignation from the board, Elliott presented him with the badge and thanked Ege for service “with dedication, honor and dignity during a difficult and changing time.” “You have been strong, and now as a community we would like to stand strong for you as you face this next challenge. We love you and are ready to serve you and your family in any way we can,” Elliott read. Elliott was elected to the Town Board in 2008 and has lived in Oak Creek since about 2004. The board will find a replacement by posting a notice of the vacancy and selecting an applicant from the responses received, Oak Creek Town Clerk Karen Halterman said. The person selected to fill Ege’s seat on the board will remain only until the next general election, in April. — To reach Zach Fridell, call 871-4208 or e-mail zfridell@steamboatpilot.com

COMMENTARY

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

Remembering 9/11 Editor’s note: This column was submitted by Steamboat resident Harriet Freiberger about remembering Sept. 11. Harriet Freiberger

FOR THE STEAMBOAT TODAY

Should we remember or try to forget? Eight years have closed over much of the physical rubble that terrorists left behind. The salve of forgetting has soothed our scars, dried our tears, quieted our fears. Why restart the pain? And yet that concrete cavern in south Manhattan where two towers once stood, the grass-covered Pennsylvania meadow where brave men crashed their plane, those 184 smooth and silent benches in Virginia draw us like magnets, pull us backward in time to remember. That day’s wound went deep, not the clean cut of a surgeon’s scalpel, easily stitched and easily healed, but rather like the tearing of flesh by a rusted saw,

ragged, gaping and dirty. Those who have experienced the death of someone loved and cherished know about the importance of what is left behind. Even in the easiest of passings into whatever lies beyond, the one who remains suffers from the absence of what had been before, with a friend, a partner, a parent or a child. Death brought on by unexpected trauma can bring despair that far exceeds the worst of physical pain. Worse, however, than such anguish as that would be the emptiness that remains when memory no longer exists, that blank spot which erases a person’s presence, as when Alzheimer’s takes over the body. Living beings grow and develop together. One individual’s reaction touches the other, building as time passes into an encrusted seam between them. The older and more layered the connection, the greater the pain upon separation. The more abrupt the wrenching apart,

the stronger is the need for some kind of salve. Remembrance can bring solace but only when, and not until, the wound is cleansed of ugliness. Remember or forget? Reshaping memories into something that is clean and good becomes the task at hand. Holding onto what is left will honor the men, the women and the children who died on Sept. 11, 2001. For most of us, there was little or no personal relationship with the people who rode elevators to their offices that morning or with the firemen who answered their call to duty and climbed the steps to help evacuate the workers. We didn’t know the 3-year-old girl whose name is the first we come to as we step across a line etched into the stone of the Pentagon Memorial. Nor had we met the man who quietly spoke the words aboard a plan, “Let’s roll.” Nevertheless, to the terrorists who See Freiberger, page 9

So much for civility Gail Collins

THE NEW YORK TIMES

Let me say that it is not a good plan to heckle the president of the United States when he’s making a speech about replacing acrimony with civility. Most of the Republicans listening to Barack Obama’s health care address Wednesday night followed the normal rule about sitting in stony silence while the president’s party leaps up and down in rapturous applause. But there were a few excepCollins tions, notably Joe Wilson, a member of Congress from South Carolina who loudly called the president a liar. This was when Obama said illegal immigrants would not be covered by health care reform. It seemed like a pretty tame remark for so much disrespect, given

all the recent uproar about the president’s alleged ability to brainwash elementary school students. You might have expected Wilson to hold his tongue and wait to see if Obama would yell “Marxism is a good thing!” and send the commerce committee racing off to give workers control of the means of production. I always wonder what the members of Congress are thinking while they listen to a presidential address. Maybe Sen. Max Baucus, the chairman of the Finance Committee, was thinking about the health care reform bill he has yet to pass, though it is equally possible that he was just daydreaming about that time he walked all the way across Montana, just because it was there and he was running for re-election. Baucus has become central to health care reform, through the classic dithering technique. Finance has been so slow off the dime that in his speech, Obama gave

it kudos for having announced “it will move forward next week.” The problem, according to Baucus, is that he wants a bipartisan bill that meets the cost-control demands of his favorite Republican colleagues. Sure, Obama talked the fiscally responsible talk. But he cannot hold a candle to Baucus and Chuck Grassley, the committee’s lead Republican. These guys are really, really, really concerned about balancing the budget. And that seems only fair since they were basically the ones who unbalanced it in the first place when they worked in splendid bipartisan concert in 2001 to pass George W. Bush’s first $1.6 trillion in tax cuts. We do not know exactly what Grassley was thinking while the president was talking. Perhaps he was mentally composing a twitter about the speech. All summer we have heard reports that See Collins, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

We must remember 9/11 for those who died Freiberger continued from 8 killed them, they represented all the rest of us, the Americans who love and enjoy freedom every day. We are what haters of that freedom sought to kill. We are part of what is left of them. We join their parents, childre, friends and the relations of relations, in an increasingly widening circle as reverberations of their absence

spread from family to family, state to state, country to country. They are ours. We keep them by sustaining the memory of who and what they were. We deflect the evil that caused their deaths by using it to bring about a renewal of the common bond that unites all Americans in something very, very good — the idea of a government that accepts majority rule while

respecting the right of every individual within its jurisdiction to be the person he or she chooses to be. The monument we can build is the continuance of that idea. We are the link to the future that would have been theirs. We owe them a future that will guarantee the freedom they enjoyed to descendants of the world they knew. Sept. 11, 2001. We must remember.

GOP may realize opposition is no good Collins continued from 8 a special bipartisan group of six senators, including Baucus and Grassley, were working on a health care reform deal. Having a conversation. Talking on the phone. Posting on one another’s Facebook wall. Still, no bill and the definition of “bipartisan” shrank from 70 votes in the Senate to “Olympia Snowe seems to like it.” It’s always possible that the Republicans will realize that their virulent opposition is not doing the country any good and at least be obstructionist in a more cheerful way. Although Wednesday night, when the

TV cameras caught the House minority leader, John Boehner, he looked as though he had just swallowed a cough drop. Boehner got the day off to a fine start by telling reporters he expected the president would “try to put lipstick on this pig and call it something else.” It was a stunning development, suggesting that a new page in American politics was turning, one in which members of both parties could once again come together and toss around that lipstick-pig metaphor without being accused of a sexist attack on Sarah Palin. The speech sounded fine to me, though I was hoping that the reform side would do some

groundwork before the big address and start floating stories about how universal health care would save the car industry or combat hair loss. I envisioned Robert Gibbs getting up at the next press conference and saying: “Look, I know it’s all over the Web that under health care reform every family will get a new wide-screen plasma TV. It’s just not so. That provision was merely proposed by the House Commerce Committee. “However, I can confirm that the public option has been renamed the Captain Sully Sullenberger Julia Child Oprah option.”

Lindroth was company officer with Poudre Fire Authority Brandon Gee

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The city of Steamboat Springs announced Thursday it has hired Ron Lindroth, company officer with the Poudre Fire Authority in Fort Collins, as its new fire chief. The hiring is part of a reorganization of city government splitting fire and police services into two separate departments. The two currently are combined under the Public Safety Department. City Manager Jon Roberts said that will continue until Lindroth starts working for the city Nov. 1. “At that point, we will implement the change,” Roberts said.

Lindroth then will lead the Fire Department, which includes emergency medical services, and Public Safety Director J.D. Hays will serve as the chief of police. City Manager Jon Roberts decided on the reorganization — approved by City Council — after former Assistant Fire Chief Bob Struble left the city to become the Routt County Emergency Management Director this spring. “I am very excited about the prospect of being fire chief for the city of Steamboat Springs,” Lindroth said in a news release. “My initial goal will be to meet with the firefighters and affiliated stakeholders to determine what Steamboat Springs Fire

Rescue is doing well, what areas we may need to improve, and what I as fire chief can do to support Fire Department members in their ability to provide prompt, skillful and compassionate services to citizens and guests of Steamboat.” Lindroth was chosen from a field of 55 applicants. An interview committee including Roberts, city Human Resources Manager John Thrasher, Hays and other county fire officials aided in the selection process. “I was very impressed with Ron, especially his knowledge of wildland fires and bark beetles,” Roberts said Thursday. “We’re very excited about the direction he will lead this department.”

Officials from Gov. Bill Ritter’s economic recovery team plan to host two public meetings on the federal recovery package Monday in Craig. The meetings will be from 2 to 4 p.m. at the First Congregational Church of Christ, 630 Green St., with one focusing on general issues Ritter and the other on how small businesses can access recovery funds. The team also plans to host a similar event from 10 a.m. to noon Tuesday in Steamboat Springs at Centennial Hall, 124 10th St. “We will explain how the recovery act works, how it will roll out in stages and how the money is being used in your area,” said Myung Kim, communications manager for the recovery team. She said the recovery act has come to Moffat County in several ways, such as funding K-12 public education and public colleges, increasing unemployment and food stamp payments and paying for emergency food aid. “There’s a lot of money that’s going to the counties to essentially help the safety net programs and go to infrastructure and also the tax breaks going to working families,” Kim said. The Colorado Economic Recovery Accountability Board also will host its monthly meeting from 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesday at Centennial Hall. The board is tasked with overseeing all recovery funds coming to the state and is appointed by the governor.

All four vehicles sustained damage. The semi lost its front wheels and was towed off the road at about 2 p.m. The white Dodge truck lost its rear axle and transmission, as well as the contents of its trailer. The Expedition lost its front left wheel, and there was some damage to the Honda. As tow trucks arrived at the crash scene, Kerker said all vehicles would be towed, with the possible exception of the Honda. At 5 p.m. tow trucks remained on scene as gasoline and oil were cleaned from the roadway before all cars could be removed.

Three cars and a semitrailer were damaged Thursday afternoon when a semitrailer veered into oncoming traffic on U.S. Highway 40 near the foot of Muddy Pass. There were no major injures in the crash, but the road was closed temporarily as emergency crews responded. Joseph Martinez, the driver of a flatbed semitrailer, told Colorado State Patrol Trooper David Kerker he fell asleep at about 1 p.m. Thursday while driving east toward Kremmling near mile marker 159 on U.S. 40, about a mile past the junction with Colorado Highway 14 in Grand County, Kerker said. The semi drifted into the westbound lane and hit the left side of a westbound Dodge truck pulling a trailer and the

front left of a westbound Ford Expedition, Kerker said. The driver of a Honda SUV tried to avoid the accident by pulling off the road, and it hit the back of the Expedition, Kerker said. State Patrol Sgt. Scott Elliott said Martinez, 55, will be cited for careless driving causing bodily injury, a Class 1 misdemeanor punishable by six to 18 months imprisonment, or a $500 to $5,000 fine, or both. Martinez, from Denver, was hauling for the U.S. Mix concrete company, but the truck was empty at the time, Elliott said. Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue emergency responders, Grand County EMS emergency responders, Colorado Department of Transportation workers and Colorado State Patrol responded to the crash. Traffic was halted temporar-

Coyner: Jeep most likely a loss, was towed Crash continued from 1 turn, the tractor portion of the tractor-trailer impacted the rear of the Jeep Wrangler and turned it sideways, and when the Jeep Wrangler slid sideways, it then rolled over onto its side,” Coyner said. The top of the Jeep also came off in the crash because it was not properly bolted on, he said. The truck cab sustained minor damage.

The Jeep was towed from the scene and is likely a loss, Coyner said. Careless driving causing bodily injury is a Class 1 misdemeanor and carries a penalty of six to 18 months imprisonment, or a $500 to $5,000 fine, or both. Coyner said Williams reported he thought the Jeep attempted to cut around him on the right side, partially in the parking lanes. Coyner said police based their decision to cite Williams

on the statements of both drivers, the physical evidence and statements from eyewitnesses at the scene. “Our determination was that before you make a right turn from an inside lane with an oversized load, you need to make sure the lane is clear of any vehicles or pedestrians or anything like that,” Coyner said.

Utah, plus various state documents from Colorado State Parks, Wyoming and Utah. Brown submitted a 21-page packet to city officials, and spoke fluently about what she wants. “You’ve done a ton of homework,” Craig Mayor Don Jones said. He asked City Attorney Kenney Wohl to work on drafting an ordinance the council could

essary traffic equipment such as headlamps, tail lamps, reflectors, a horn, muffler and windshield. Brown’s proposed ordinance also would prevent any ATV or OHV from traveling on Yampa Avenue or Victory Way except to cross, and prevent any such vehicles from traveling above 45 miles per hour. When asked why the issue was important to her, Brown said she had been to other communities where it was legal and it made

traveling short distances easier and less expensive without causing anyone or anything harm. “With today’s economy, who wouldn’t welcome a chance to go to the store with a more fuelefficient ATV instead of firing up their more gas-guzzling four-byfour?” Brown said. She added that ATVs already are legal inside Craig in certain instances, such as Wyoming residents who drive theirs to town and have Wyoming plates.

Gamma is brightest unnamed star in northern hemisphere Westlake continued from 12 One of the first star patterns to catch your eye in the late summer and early fall is a distinctive group of five bright stars forming the shape of a letter “W” in the northeastern sky. This familiar pattern represents Cassiopeia, the

��

consider in the future. From the beginning of her presentation, Brown made it clear she and others she worked with didn’t want to allow any ATVs on just any street. To do so would be irresponsible and dangerous, she said. Her proposal is for residents interested in using ATVs or OHVs to commute around the city to first register their vehicle with the city, insure it for street travel and make sure it had nec-

queen. The five stars of the W-pattern form the outline of the queen’s chair, hanging upside down in the sky. Why upside down? Greek mythology explains that Cassiopeia is being punished for her boastful ways. She had a bad habit of doting on her beautiful daughter, Andromeda, and once went so far as to claim that Andromeda was more beautiful than the sea nymphs, who were the pride and joy of Poseidon, the mythological god of the sea. Poseidon punished Cassiopeia by placing her in the sky close to the pole star so that, as she rotates around the pole, she would spend half of the year upside down, clinging to her throne for dear life. Let this be a lesson to all the vain and boastful people out there. The star Caph, at the top of the W, is the nearest of Cassiopeia’s five main stars at a distance of 54 light years from Earth, while the star marking the middle of the

W is the most distant at 613 light years. This star, simply referred to as Gamma, is the brightest unnamed star in the northern hemisphere. Perhaps it was much fainter centuries ago when the Greeks and Arabs were naming the stars. Gamma is known today to be an unpredictable variable star that occasionally increases dramatically in brightness. Most recently, in 1937, Gamma briefly brightened to rival the brightest stars in the sky, then faded to a very unimpressive third magnitude star before returning to its present second magnitude status. From Northwest Colorado, Cassiopeia is a circumpolar constellation, which means that it never actually dips below the northern horizon. It just barely skims above the mountaintops to the north before rising high again. Cassiopeia’s chair is diametrically opposite the North Star, Polaris, from the Big Dipper, so, one or the other star pat-

tern is visible at all times. The Big Dipper dominates the spring sky, and Cassiopeia rules the autumn nights. Just follow the hazy band of the Milky Way northward to find that familiar W-shaped pattern of Cassiopeia. And, while in the vicinity of Cassiopeia, check out that fuzzy patch of light just east of the star Segin at the left tip of the “W.” It’s the famous “Double Star Cluster,” and it is beautiful as seen through binoculars.

determined that and provided a recipe for how that growth should occur. “Your job is to determine whether all the different cooks in the kitchen followed the recipe well,” Eastman said. City staff’s answer to that question is “yes.” The staff report found that Steamboat 700 provides advantages to the city in the realms of land use, affordable housing, fire services, parks, open space and trails. The report states that Steamboat 700 will have a neutral effect fiscally and on schools, water, U.S. Highway 40 improvements and sustainability. “We’re here to implement these plans and what the community has decided they want to do,” Steamboat 700 consultant Peter Patten said. Included in the revised annexation agreement were new backstops to protect the city against recently expressed concerns. As part of its affordable housing plan, Steamboat 700 plans to donate 12.5 acres to the city and institute a 0.5 percent real estate transfer tax within the development. Despite near guarantees from the city’s annexation attorney, Jerry Dahl, that such a funding mechanism is legal if negotiated as part of an annexation, several concerns have been expressed about its legality. The revised annexation agreement presented Tuesday

includes a provision that requires Steamboat 700 to dedicate additional land if the transfer tax is ruled illegal. In an additional effort to protect affordability, City Council recently requested that some sort of anti-flipping measure be incorporated into the agreement to prevent speculation. Steamboat 700 attorney Bob Weiss presented one proposal Thursday that would require property owners who buy and sell a home in the development within three years to pay a percentage of their net gain to a fund being used to pay for Steamboat 700’s required capital improvements. The city just received the proposal Thursday and had not had a chance to review it. Despite these steps and city staff’s comfort with the project, concerns and hesitancy continued to be expressed Thursday. Resident Steve Lewis, chairman of the Community Alliance of the Yampa Valley’s growth committee, presented a letter with questions and concerns about topics including density, water and affordable housing. “The amount Steamboat 700 has been required to pay from its own pockets is too small,” Lewis’ letter states. “This leaves the city and/or homeowners with a large financial burden, with uncertain benefit to the community as a whole.” Lewis also requested that, in addition to the units that will

be created through Steamboat 700’s affordable housing plan, the developer deed restrict additional free market units for sale to residents and employees of Routt County only. Steamboat 700 is being required to pay for improvements to U.S. Highway 40 from 13th Street to their project, but resident Bill Jameson said it was irresponsible to approve the project without first formulating a plan to fix the 13th Street “bottleneck,” where traffic constricts as it heads through downtown and south of Steamboat. Commissioners expressed their own concerns about issues such as affordable housing and the pace of the development. In their questions and comments, commissioners Sarah Fox and Cedar Beauregard suggested they would like to see additional measures that would restrict the rate of growth in the development through means such as requiring that the project be annexed in smaller phases. “I don’t know if it’s our purview to say where the build-out should be for the next 50 to 75 years,” Fox said. Patten said that splitting Steamboat 700 up would undermine the benefits of a masterplanned project and lead to less cohesive development. The Planning Commission ended its hearing at 10 p.m. and will pick up where it left off next week.

Pitkin leash law nets few violators Carolyn Sackariason THE ASPEN TIMES

20512433

ASPEN

��

The majority of local dog owners appear to be keeping their canines on a short leash when hiking, judging from the low number of tickets issued this summer. John Armstrong, a ranger for Pitkin County Open Space and Trails, said between six and eight tickets have been issued to people who ignore leash laws on heavily used trails. “The summer has been very encouraging,” he said. “We measure our success on how many tickets we don’t write.” Three rangers have been patrolling this summer on high-volume trails such as the Rio Grande and Hunter Creek, where having a dog off leash can land a person a $100 fine. Armstrong noted that the number of tickets issued this year is down considerably from the previous two years. Offenders typically get a warning, either written or verbal, before they are issued a ticket.

This year, open space and trails provided free leashes that are hung on posts at the beginning of the Hunter Creek and the Lani White trails, as well as on the trail leading to the Hunter Creek Valley. Armstrong said the department has gone through 250 leashes, which cost less that $1 each. The point of the leash law is to allow all users their space and to give respect to everyone using the trails. “Some people are terrified of dogs or don’t want to be jumped on or brushed with a wet nose,” Armstrong said. Rangers are sometimes considered heavy-handed, but Armstrong said their mission is to inform and educate. “Any image that we are militant is from people who don’t want regulation,” he said.”We try to keep the contact as friendly as we can.” Areas in town where having dogs off leash is allowable include Rio Grande Park, Wagner Park, Smuggler and the Marolt Open Space.

The recession has hit hard in some Roaring Fork Valley preschools as parents scramble to find ways to cut their household budgets after losing hours or even jobs. Preschools that had lengthy wait lists for students to enroll as recently as one year ago now have openings. The unused capacity is costing preschools thousands of dollars per month in revenue and forcing them to cut the hours of teachers. “It’s been unheard of that we had any open spots,” said Melissa Goodman, assistant director of the nonprofit Blue Lake Preschool in El Jebel. Statistics tracked by Kids First, an organization that works on children’s issues in the Roaring Fork Valley, showed Blue Lake Preschool had a waiting list with 116 toddlers and 46 infants in September 2008. The school has 58 available spots daily, infant through pre-kindergar-

ten. Of the hundreds of openings during the course of the week, 69 were unfilled the first week of September, Goodman said. That translates into about $17,000 in lost revenue for the facility, Goodman said. Blue Lake isn’t the only preschool facing challenges. “The economy has definitely affected child-care programs up and down the valley,” said Shirley Ritter, director of Kids First. “They’re not in dire straits, but they don’t have 30 to 40 people on the wait list like they used to.” In some cases, some very successful programs have consolidated classrooms. Others are being flexible by reducing the number of required days or even offering half-days to try to hold onto students. A few child-care facilities have reduced rates. A big concern is that small, home-based centers that handle only six kids or so will lose a student or two, won’t find replacements and will be forced to close because of the hit to their budget.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Kerry Lofy has been filming his exploits on snow for about 10 years. For the past four years, those tricks and backcountry adventures have been on public display as part of the Steamboat Mountain Film Festival. In 2008, Lofy’s “Chronicles of Gnar” took third place in the festival’s Best Overall competition and placed in the top three of a People’s Choice race. Lofy has worked on two films for the 2009 event, which kicks off Oct. 2. Tickets go on sale at Ski Haus on Sept. 18 for $15, and submissions for the festival are due Sept. 25. Tickets are sold by the day and include admission to all screenings for that day. “I don’t know if it’s just the fun, or to show the different

areas or the different experiences,” Lofy said about his motivation to continue submitting films. “Each year the film gets way better.” Michael Martin — who directs the ski and snowboard business program at Colorado Mountain College’s Alpine Campus and founded the festival in 2003 as a way to show his own ski films — said the seventh annual Mountain Film Festival sticks to the formula he’s developed in the past few

years. Festival screenings include locally produced ski films and premieres from professional companies including Teton Gravity Research and Matchstick Productions. Most submissions are related to action sports and are divided into categories that also include adventure-themed films. A panel of industry judges will be on hand to rate some submissions, while others up for the People’s Choice award are decided by online voting. “We look for quality of production, quality in storytelling and screenwriting, quality in editing — essentially kind of the three tiers on film making,” Martin said. “We look for films that have a unique flair to them, a unique story to tell.” About 35 submissions have come in for this year’s event, which starts with a screening of Teton Gravity Research’s newSee Film, page 22

A humanoid little rag doll comes to life and ventures fearfully into the devastation of a bombed-out cityscape. This figure, named 9, meets his similar predecessors, No. 1 through No. 8, and they find themselves in battle against a Transformerlike red-eyed monster called the Beast. This provides a pretext for an apocalyptic battle that is visually more interesting than, but as relentless as, similar allaction-all-the-time movies. This is a disappointment. By Shane Acker, Oscar-nominated for his 2006 short that inspired it. Rating: ★★★

‘Extract’ Comedy, R, 91 minutes

Comedy by Mike Judge (“Beavis and Butthead”) about the owner of a bottling plant (Jason Bateman), who is plagued with an uninterested wife (Kristen Wiig), a factory con woman (Mila Kunis), a litigious worker (Clifton Collins Jr.) and, in the movie’s best performance, a relentless neighbor (David Koechner), who seemingly lurks in the shrubbery to burst forth with undesired friendliness. Ben Affleck is the friendly bartender who suggests Bateman recruit a gigolo to seduce his wife, so he will therefore be free to cheat. Rating: ★★★

‘Taking Woodstock’ Comedy, R, 120 minutes

Ang Lee’s entertaining film about the kid who made it all possible — in Woodstock, anyway — Elliot Teichberg (Demetri Martin), who leaves a New York City job to return to upstate New York and help his parents bail out their failing and shabby motel. Rating: ★★★

‘Ponyo’ Animated, G, 101 minutes

The word is “magical.” This poetic, breathtaking work by the greatest of all animators has such deep charm that adults and children will be touched. Rating: ★★★★

‘Inglourious Basterds’ War drama, R, 152 minutes

A big, bold, audacious war movie that will annoy some, startle others and demonstrate once again that Quentin Tarantino is the real thing, a director of quixotic delights. Rating: ★★★★

‘The Time Traveler’s Wife Romance, PG-13, 107 minutes

Clare (Rachel McAdams)

is in love with a man who frequently disappears into thin air, leaving behind his clothing in a pile on the floor. Henry (Eric Bana) is a time traveler whose trips are beyond his control. Somehow the warmth of the actors makes it a bittersweet love story. Rating: ★★★

‘District 9’ Science fiction, R, 111 minutes

An alien spaceship hovers over Johannesburg, its occupants stranded and starving. They’re placed in a fenced-in district, where the locals fear and resent them. Looking like a cross between lobsters and grasshoppers, they’re sort of loathsome, but one human and one alien work together, in a mockumentary with apartheid parallels. Rating: ★★★

‘Julie & Julia’ Comedy, PG-13, 123 minutes

A frustrated Queens wife vows to write a blog about cooking her way through Julia Child’s “Mastering the Art of French Cooking,” 524 recipes in 365 days. The film shows the effect of culinary dedication on both women’s lives and marriages. Amy Adams and Meryl Streep are engaging, and Streep’s impersonation of Child is uncanny, but really, is the price of total obsession worth paying for the cost of a perfect boeuf bourguignon? Rating: ★★★.

‘The Hangover’ Comedy, R, 100 minutes

A very funny, very raunchy comedy about a disastrous bachelor party in Las Vegas. Rating: ★★★★ — Roger Ebert

‘Gamer’ Action, R, 90 minutes

“Gamer,” a movie abandoned on Labor Day weekend, has Gerald Butler playing a convict trapped in a “real life” video game in which the players shoot their way through levels until they’re killed. Butler puts his game face on for “Gamer,” where he is the heroic “first person shooter” named Kable. Rating: ★

‘Whiteout’ Thriller, R, 97 mintues

What “whiteout” refers to, in this indifferent thriller based on a grittier comic book, is that dark, wind-whipped blizzard that can blind you in the world’s snowiest places. For all its frozen blood, assaults with ice axes and killer weather, “Whiteout” turns out to be only a pale imitation of the thriller it might have been. Rating: ★★ — Roger Moore, MCT

Neon Brown guitarist and Steamboat Springs-bred musician Dan Koebnick knows bluegrass, punk rock, funk and electronic music don’t always come together in one band. “Somehow we seem to be able to meld them together,” Koebnick said. “We don’t necessarily meld them together in the same songs … we’ll throw out a couple of random genres

just to throw you off a little.” Neon Brown — which features members of the Bill Smith Band and Lotus, and includes former Steamboat local Ean Smith — plays its first Steamboat show at 10 p.m. Saturday at Old Town Pub. The group is Koebnick on guitar and lead vocals; Ean Smith on bass; Lotus band members Chuck Morris and Mike Rempel on percussion and guitar; and Bill Smith Band drummer Bob Elchert on drums. “Basically our drummer from Bill Smith grew up with a couple of the guys from Lotus, so we got to talking,” Koebnick said. “And Bill Smith is on a hiatus right now, so we have a lot of free time.” Koebnick and Ean Smith grew up in Steamboat but didn’t know one another well until after they graduated from high school, Koebnick said. The two have appeared in local bands including Bill Smith, Hard Poor Corn, Earthtone, Perfectly Frank and Bodacious Ta-tas, Smith wrote in an email message.

Koebnick and Smith moved to Chicago in fall 2006 to play with the Bill Smith Band, a formerly local jam and funk group. The two musicians hope to make Neon Brown a lasting project for Bill Smith Band breaks, Ean Smith wrote. Saturday’s concert includes a light show, plenty of genre shifting and jamming, and a celebration for Ean Smith’s 30th birthday. The group plans to play songs by Lotus and the Bill Smith Band, Koebnick said. — To reach Margaret Hair, call 871-4204 or e-mail mhair@steamboatpilot.com

NEW YORK

New York stores were jammed Thursday night for Fashion’s Night Out, where shoppers rubbed elbows with celebrities — sometimes quite literally. Amateur photographers jockeyed with paparazzi to get pictures of Victoria Beckham and stood on banquettes to get a glimpse of “Top Chef” host Padma Lakshmi. The hope was that the stargazing event, a brainchild of Vogue Editor Anna Wintour, would help at the cash register. “It’s a nice night. We’re tired of waiting until the recession ends,” Stuart Weitzman said.

At Bendel’s, women lined up to have red lips drawn on by Gucci Westman, Revlon’s global artistic director. Eric Damon, costume designer for “Gossip Girl,” helped shoppers choose accessories and posed for photos with them. “I’m helping girls mix and match, over-accessorize and overindulge,” he said. It was difficult to judge the impact of the event — held at stores across the city. Justin Timberlake was making an appearance at Saks, Charlize Theron at Dior, Kate Hudson at Stella McCartney.

Ellen DeGeneres is known for being nice. But the new “American Idol” judge said she’s ready to be honest with the show’s contestants, good or bad. “I think it’s going to be hard, but as my career has grown. ... I’ve learned how to be tougher and learned how to say no,” DeGeneres said Thursday, a day after her addition to the show was announced. “I think I can do it, and I think I can do it in a respectful way.” Any bluntness will be

reserved for fellow judge Simon Cowell, known for his barbed remarks to contestants and colleagues. “When Simon is rude and mean, I will tell him he’s rude and mean, just like I tell him when he’s on my show that he’s rude and mean,” DeGeneres said, referring to “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” She’ll continue with her daytime talkfest as she takes on “Idol” judging duties for the show’s ninth season, starting in January. DeGeneres, who signed a five-year deal with the toprated Fox singing contest, said

she was shocked and excited when the opportunity came her way. The fourth seat opened up when Paula Abdul resigned by way of Twitter in the midst of a contract dispute this summer. Abdul said in a statement Thursday she thinks DeGeneres “is wildly funny and talented in her own right” and wished her and the show “only the best of luck.” In online postings, some “Idol” fans have applauded the comedian’s selection for the humor she’ll bring to the show. Others, however, have questioned her credentials.

Jay Leno has shed more than a dozen pounds and the weighty traditions of the “Tonight Show” that would tie his prime-time future to his late-night past. The desk that’s central to any talk show will go mostly unused. There also will be fewer stars hawking their latest movies, TV shows and albums, and instead more comedy when NBC’s “The Jay Leno Show” debuts at 9 p.m. MDT Monday. But can the newly trim, 59year-old Leno bring major change to American television with a one-hour show five nights a week? “I do think this is the kind of bold move that the networks need to make if they’re going to hold onto any part of their primacy in the TV world,” says Tim Brooks, author of “The Complete Directory to Primetime Network and Cable TV Shows.” A prime-time show airing each weeknight is unique in U.S. television and has the potential to be copied if it’s a success. “When something new comes along on TV, it proliferates all over the schedule,” Brooks said. Leno, at least publicly, won’t play along. He dismissed as “hilarious” the notion that he can single-handedly reverse the

Missing girl trial interrupted Evidence could delay case for weeks if forensic tests happen P. Solomon Banda THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

��

Arapahoe County prosecutors say they have found a car that a witness testified was used to transport the body of a girl up to two years before she was reported missing. Prosecutors revealed the discovery Thursday and gave defense attorneys 100 pages of documents as both sides prepared for the end of Aaron Thompson’s five-week trial. Thompson is charged with fatal child abuse and other crimes against his daughter Aarone. She was reported missing in 2005, when she would have been 6. Investigators think she died two years earlier. State court spokesman Rob McCallum says it’s unclear why prosecutors waited until Thursday to reveal they had found the Ford Mustang on Aug. 31, while Thompson’s trial was under way. The revelation could delay the trial for weeks

if defense attorneys decide they want to conduct forensic tests. Closings arguments were scheduled for today but have been delayed so the defense can review the new evidence. District Judge Valeria Spencer ordered prosecutors and defense attorneys to her court this morning to discuss the case. Prosecutors and defense attorneys, who are under a gag order, did not return messages. Prosecutors accuse Thompson of beating seven other children who lived with him and Shely Lowe, and of child abuse resulting in death, abuse of a corpse and other charges in the death of Aarone. Prosecutors say the girl died during punishment for bed wetting and Thompson told the other children to lie to police about the girl’s whereabouts. Defense attorneys say the children in the home, six of whom aren’t related to Thompson, created stories of abuse to cover up for Lowe, who Thompson’s attorneys say killed Aarone. Lowe died of heart failure in

May 2006. Thompson lived in the home with five of Lowe’s children, a child brother of Lowe’s, and Thompson’s two children, including Aarone, from a previous relationship. Lowe gave birth to the couple’s only child, a girl, days after Aarone was reported missing in November 2005. When she was reported missing, Aarone would have been the youngest of the children who ranged in age from 6 to 15. During the trial, prosecutors played videotape of interviews of the children where they described beatings with a baseball bat, belts and cords from Thompson, who they called “Big A.” They also described how Aarone would be locked in a closet for hours and beaten as punishment for bed wetting. Thompson had reported that his daughter ran away after an argument which sparked a massive search of Aurora. Investigators became suspicious when the family couldn’t provide recent photos of the girl.

Army offers to better monitor chemicals Kristen Wyatt

Attention Artisans

The Army is offering to improve monitoring of deadly mustard agent stored at the Pueblo Chemical Depot as it negotiates with Colorado health officials suing over leaks. State and Army officials met in Denver Thursday to discuss safety. The Depot about 100 miles south of Denver contains mustard agent from artillery shells stored in 94 igloo-like structures. Colorado sued the Army last month, asking a judge to order

better monitoring in the wake of two leaks in four months at the depot. The state wants the Army to test more often for dangerous exposure leaking from the artillery shells, some of them more than 50 years old. The commander of the Depot says the Army is prepared to boost checks at the site, but that talks are ongoing. The lawsuit is still pending, with no court date set. “We’ve been doing this safely for 60 years,” Lt. Col. Rob Wittig said of the storage of the artillery shells. “We’re all safe.” Colorado health officials, though, say the Army needs to do a better job preventing contamination. The artillery shells can leak mustard agent in gas form, a dangerous carcinogen, said Jeannine Natterman, a spokeswoman with the state department of health.

At least two low-level releases of mustard agent inside the igloos were reported by Depot officials this year. Natterman said the gas dissipates quickly once it leaks from the shells but can pose a serious health threat to people working close to the igloos. Niether Natterman nor Wittig would comment on the lawsuit. However, Wittig said talks are ongoing in an attempt to broker an acceptable monitoring agreement. The U.S. Department of Defense owns the munitions, but states have had authority since 1990s over hazardous waste in their states. A new factory is under construction at the Depot to destroy the mustard agent, required under treaties signed by the federal government. All the mustard agent in Pueblo is to be destroyed by 2017.

Body may be missing pilot

��

Human remains found on southwest Colorado mountain TELLURIDE

Human remains found on a southwest Colorado mountain this week may be those of a Dallas pilot whose plane crashed three years ago, authorities say. San Miguel County Sheriff Bill Masters said he thinks the body is that of 27-year-old Mark Cochran, who was missing and presumed dead after the Sept. 15, 2006, crash on Wilson Peak. The bodies of all three passengers were found within three days of the crash. Deputies in a helicopter spotted the fourth body Tuesday while searching for Cochran. The body was taken to the San

Miguel County coroner to confirm the identity. “I’m 99.9 percent sure it’s him, but until I get the dental records, I can’t say,” Coroner Bob Dempsey said Wednesday. Cochran and his passengers were aboard a 1965 Beech Debonair when it crashed about 30 feet below the summit of the 14,017-foot mountain. The National Transportation Safety Board concluded in 2007 that the plane went out of control in turbulence and high wind. The passengers were identified as Brendan Culbert, 25, of Bellaire, Texas; James Flanagin, 25, of Houston; and Kristin Kirkley, 26, of Dallas. Deputies think Cochran’s body was buried by an avalanche

triggered by the crash. Deputies have been monitoring the area since the accident. They said a relatively light winter snow and quick summer melt may have exposed the body. The team that retrieved the body also found additional bones, personal items and a door of the plane. Authorities said the four were headed from Addison, Texas, to Telluride for a festival and had refueled in Taos, N.M. Masters said his department has spent more than $10,000 on the three-year search. An insurance policy on the plane covered some of the cost, but the sheriff’s department paid for most of it. “You can’t just leave people up there,” Masters said.

Romanoff plans to challenge Bennet Kristen Wyatt

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

Former state lawmaker Andrew Romanoff, of Denver, is going ahead with plans to challenge U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet in the Democratic primary next year. Ro m a n o f f ’ s decision complicates the re-election prospects for Bennet, who was appointed to the seat earlier this Romanoff year when former Sen. Ken Salazar became interior secretary. Bennet already faces a crowded pack of wouldbe challengers from the GOP, and in Romanoff the senator also must defeat a popular former Colorado house speaker many Democrats favored for the appointment. Romanoff filed federal candi-

��

dacy papers with the U.S. Senate on Thursday. A Romanoff aide says he will announce his bid next week. Romanoff was speaker of the Colorado House from 2001 to 2009, leaving because of term limits. When Salazar’s seat came open early this year, many Democrats pushed for Gov. Bill Ritter to name Romanoff to fill the two years remaining on Salazar’s term. But instead Ritter picked Bennet, who was superintendent of Denver Public Schools and a former lawyer and businessman. The Bennet appointment didn’t sit well with Democrats who preferred Romanoff. Leftleaning bloggers questioned the pick, and an Associated Press review of written recommendations to Ritter revealed dozens of suggestions for Romanoff, but none for Bennet. Bennet’s campaign manager did not comment Thursday

on the Romanoff candidacy. Bennet was in Washington Thursday. A spokeswoman for Romanoff, who has been teaching public policy at the University of Colorado in Denver, said Romanoff was encouraged to run. Spokeswoman Joelle Martinez said the encouraging calls picked up after a report in The Denver Post last week said a Romanoff candidacy was imminent. Martinez said the decision to challenge Bennet was a tough one. Bennet has raised more than $2.6 million for his re-election bid, and the same day Romanoff filed his candidacy, President Barack Obama praised Bennet in an e-mail to Democratic supporters. But Romanoff is ready for the challenge, Martinez said. “He’s a thoughtful guy who’s thought long and hard about this,” Martinez said.

GRAND JUNCTION

Lots of babies will be able to celebrate being born on a date full of nines, but Alexander Robert Orient has a little extra distinction. He was delivered by Caesarean section at St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Junction at 9:09 a.m. on Sept. 9, 2009. Deana Orient says she went into labor at 4:45 a.m. Wednesday and didn’t realize the date until she saw it on her hospital bracelet. Minutes after Alexander was born 2 1/2 weeks premature, hospital workers told Deana and her husband, Patrick, the exact time of birth.

Jefferson County has paid $600,000 to settle sex- and agediscrimination lawsuits filed by two former employees against the county’s top executive. The Denver Post reported Thursday the county also spent nearly $167,000 on inhouse and outside legal help to defend the claims against County Administrator Jim Moore. Sixty-year-old Judy Goebel and 56-year-old Jerelyn Bower filed federal lawsuits alleging that Moore fired them in 2007 because of their age and gender and that he created a hostile work environment. The settlement bars Moore, the county commissioners and the two former employees from discussing the cases. Moore and county officials have denied the charges, saying the women were fired because of budget issues.

The driver of an asphalt truck has died after his tanker overturned near Idaho Springs, spilling diesel and asphalt into Clear Creek. The crash happened on Interstate 70 Thursday morning. Colorado State Patrol officials said the truck driver was killed, but his name hasn’t been released. Cleanup crews were surveying the damage Thursday. It was the third major asphalt spill in recent weeks in Colorado. Last month, two asphalt trucks overturned and spilled asphalt into the Poudre River. Authorities didn’t immediately know how much asphalt spilled into clear Creek in Thursday’s accident.

charged with regularly beating a woman under a relationship contract used his position to intimidate her out of calling authorities. Olathe Officer Michael Percival is charged with misdemeanor assault. He has pleaded not guilty. In late August, prosecutors asked a judge to allow them to introduce evidence that Percival used his job on at least three occasions to intimidate the woman out of calling police. The defense hasn’t responded to the request. Investigators say the woman showed them two contracts allegedly written by Percival that concerned her hygiene, sexual behavior and clothing, and spelled out punishments, including beatings. Percival’s trial has been postponed until January.

Parker entered a not guilty plea during a one-minute appearance in court Thursday. Her second plea of not guilty comes after prosecutors last month obtained an indictment that replaced the first indictment handed up in July. Prosecutors have asked a judge to delay Parker’s trial, scheduled to begin Sept. 28, saying detailed testing on the strain of hepatitis C involved can take months. Parker’s defense attorneys haven’t responded to the request. Thousands of patients at two Colorado hospitals have been tested, with prosecutors linking 35 hepatitis C infections to Parker. She thinks she was infected by sharing needles while injecting heroin. Investigations also have been launched at hospitals in upstate New York and in Houston where Parker previously worked.

Dems: Bill to pass this year Leaders claiming new momentum for health care legislation David Espo

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

Democratic congressional leaders predicted passage of health care legislation within a few months despite undimmed Republican opposition, claiming momentum Thursday from President Barack Obama’s speech and renewed commitment from lawmakers fresh from a month of meetings with constituents. Increasingly, events in the Senate Finance Committee appeared pivotal, a precursor to likely votes in the House and the Senate by early October. “I’m confident the president will sign a bill this year,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, of California. While effusively praising Obama’s speech from the night before, Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid signaled separately the president may not prevail in call for legislation that allows the federal government to sell insurance in competition with private industry. Reid said although he favors a strong “public option,” he could be satisfied with establishment of nonprofit cooperatives, along the lines expected to be included in the bill taking shape in the Finance Committee. Pelosi, who has long favored a measure that allows the government to sell insurance, passed up a chance to say it was a nonnegotiable demand. As long as legislation makes quality health care more accessible and affordable, “we will go forward with that bill,” she said. Democrats are divided over the public option in both houses, liberals strongly in favor and many moderates against it. Critically, though, it appears that any chance for Republican support would evaporate if legislation permits immediate, direct competition between the government and insurance industry. On the morning after his speech, Obama renewed his campaign for passage of his top domestic priority. Declaring that too many individuals are being denied coverage, he said, “It is heartbreaking and it is wrong and nobody should be treated that way in the United States of America. Nobody!” He also cited new Census statistics showing that the number of uninsured has risen to 46.3 million from 45.7 million in 2007. In general, the legislation would provide new protections to Americans with insurance, help the uninsured afford coverage, require most individuals to carry coverage and aim to slow the growth of medical costs overall. The measure would be paid for through reductions in

planned Medicare spending and tax increases. Obama has said his approach will not result in higher deficits, but Congressional Budget Office estimates dispute him. Most Republicans made clear during the day that Obama’s speech had done nothing to lessen their opposition.

After months of missed deadlines caused by internal division and GOP opposition earlier, neither Pelosi nor Reid was willing to outline anything more than a broad timetable for action on the legislation. But increasingly, it appeared that events in the Finance Committee would determine the pace.

Analyst: Health plan may increase insurers’ costs by 15 percent Tom Murphy and Linda A. Johnson

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

If President Barack Obama gets what he wants in his health care plan — covering all Americans and barring insurers from denying coverage — some analysts say individuals could wind up paying higher premiums. The Obama plan would impose new costs on insurance companies, which would then raise the prices customers pay for coverage. Employers also would likely pass on some of their higher costs to employees. An individual in a typical plan might have to pay as much as $780 more for the same coverage in the first year of Obama’s plan, estimates Erik Gordon, a health care analyst and assistant professor at the University

Rep. Joe Wilson is known as a mild-mannered congressman fond of making short speeches. His shortest got the most attention. “You lie!” Wilson blurted out during President Barack Obama’s health care address to a joint session Wednesday night, an outburst that made some supporters shudder even as others thought it could give Wilson a political boost in his conservative hometown. “He’s the only one who has guts in that whole place. He’ll get re-elected in a landslide,” said John Roper, an insurance agent, as he sat among patrons at a diner near Columbia. Still, Southern sensibilities reign in the district Wilson has

represented for the past eight years. Added Roper, “He probably shouldn’t have said it in that context.” Wilson apologized to the White House soon after the speech and again Thursday, but he did not back away from the issue that prompted his outburst. “People who have come to our country and violated laws, we should not be providing full health care services,” he said. His heckle came after Obama said extending health care to all Americans who seek it would not mean insuring illegal immigrants. The House version of the health care bill explicitly prohibits spending any federal money to help illegal immigrants get health care. Illegal immigrants could buy private health insurance, as many do now, but wouldn’t get tax subsidies to help them. Still, Republicans say there aren’t sufficient citizenship verification requirements to ensure illegal immigrants are excluded. In Wilson’s district, many voters said the heckle wouldn’t affect their support for him. Some said

they wished more politicians would speak their minds — but most said they wished it hadn’t happened. “Joe was very immature. He’s always been pretty under control. I’m a little embarrassed,” said Roy Smith, a business manager who spoke as he ate breakfast in Cayce. “I voted for Joe and probably still will.” Wilson, who served as a military attorney, retired as a colonel in the South Carolina National Guard in 2003 after 31 years. His four sons also have served in the military, something mentioned repeatedly at Wilson’s public appearances in this military-friendly state. For some, that background makes the outburst against the nation’s commander in chief even more striking. “I thought it was disgraceful,” said the Rev. Kevin Roberts, who said he doesn’t support Wilson. “I don’t begrudge him his feeling. But I think there’s a way to communicate that and a way not to, and I think it’s shameful. I expect more decorum and respect for the office.”

chronic diseases later also would save money, the administration has argued. In his speech to Congress on Wednesday night, Obama said he wants to bar insurers from denying coverage to anyone because of a pre-existing health problem, canceling policies for sick people or refusing to cover preventive care. He also suggested limits on Americans’ co-payments and deductibles. “We will place a limit on how much you can be charged for out-of-pocket expenses, because in the United States of America, no one should go broke because they get sick,” the president said. Obama also would charge insurers a fee for their most expensive policies as a way of encouraging insurers to keep costs low and rates low.

of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. Gordon said employees now typically pay 20 to 40 percent of the premium for a health care package costing about $13,000 a year for a family of four, with employers picking up the rest. Obama’s plan would increase insurers’ costs by 10 to 15 percent if reform doesn’t provide other savings, Gordon estimated. He thinks employers would stick employees with perhaps 40 percent of the higher premium, or $520 to $780 more — though they also might receive better coverage because of mandatory preventive care and screenings. The president told Congress most of health care reform can be paid for by eliminating waste and abuse in the existing system. Better screenings that prevent

Supersized cars out

Buying habits may have changed forever since financial crisis ANN ARBOR, MICH.

Big cars and trucks are out. Smaller ones that offer more for your dollar are in. And many drivers will hang onto the new cars they buy longer. We’ve seen some of this before — in the 1970s. But there’s reason to believe that this time, American car-buying habits have changed forever. Scarred by the worst financial crisis since the 1930s and still leery of high gas prices, people are walking into showrooms intent on spending less. The trend is strongest among baby boomers, who are 44 to 63 years old and make up a quarter of the population, dealers and industry analysts say. A generation ago, boomers drove the economy out of the second-worst recession since World War II. After the downturn ended in 1982, they went on a buying spree throughout the ’80s; for many, free-spending became a way of life that didn’t end until last year. But their investments and home values

US Muslims: Fear builds each year Eight years after 9/11, some still struggling through anniversary Rachel Zoll

��

There is the dread of leaving the house that morning. People might stare, or worse, yell insults. Prayers are more intense, visits with family are longer. Mosques become a refuge. Eight years after 9/11, many U.S. Muslims still struggle through the anniversary of the attacks. Yes, the sting has lessened. For the younger generation of Muslims, the tragedy can even seem like a distant memory.

“Time marches on,” said Souha Azmeh Al-Samkari, a 22-yearold student at the University of Dayton in Ohio. Yet, many American Muslims say Sept. 11 will never be routine, no matter how many anniversaries have passed. “I get a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach every year,” said Nancy Rokayak, of Charlotte, N.C., who covers her hair in public. “I feel on 9/11 others look at me and blame me for the events that took place.” Rokayak, a U.S.-born convert, has four children with her hus-

band, who is from Egypt, and works as an ultrasound technologist. She makes sure she is wearing a red, white and blue flag pin every Sept. 11 and feels safer staying close to home. The anniversary brings a mix of emotions: sorrow of the huge loss of life, anguish about the wars that followed, but also resentment about how the hijackings so completely transformed the place of Muslims in the U.S. and beyond. A poll released this week by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life found that 38 per-

cent of Americans believe Islam is more likely than other faiths to encourage violence. That is down from 45 percent two years earlier. It is now common in U.S. mosques for Muslims to preface public remarks by saying they know the government is eavesdropping but Muslims have nothing to hide. “It put a lot of Muslim Americans in the position of, ‘We don’t blend in as much as we thought we did,”’ said Ibrahim Abdul-Matin, a native New Yorker whose college friend was killed in the World Trade Center.

This 9/11, Obama has bullhorn on terrorism Nancy Benac

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

On Sept. 11, 2001, Barack Obama was driving to a state legislative hearing in Chicago when he heard the first sketchy reports of a plane hitting the World Trade Center on his car radio. The 40-year-old state senator spent the afternoon in his law office watching “nightmare images” of destruction and grief unfold on TV. Within days, he’d issued a statement about what the nation should do next. Beyond the immediate needs

to improve security and dismantle “organizations of destruction,” Obama wrote, lay the more difficult job of “understanding the sources of such madness.” He wrote of “a fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers,” of “embittered children” around the world, of the seeds of discontent sown in poverty, ignorance and despair. The nuanced musings of an obscure state senator, Obama’s statement never even made the big Chicago dailies. Americans were listening instead to President George W. Bush, shouting into a bullhorn at Ground Zero. To weary rescue

��

workers and a sorrowing nation, Bush declared: “The world hears you, and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.” Eight years later, Obama has the bullhorn. And the way forward in the fight against terrorism is anything but clear. Obama approaches his first 9/11 anniversary as president saddled with two wars that followed the 2001 terrorist attacks, and confronted at every turn by difficult leftovers from Bush’s response to them. Public sentiment toward U.S. involvement in Afghanistan is souring as combat deaths grow

and questions persist about flawed Afghan elections. The drawdown of U.S. troops in Iraq is moving forward, but at a slower pace than envisioned by candidate Obama. Defense Secretary Robert Gates speaks of “a certain war-weariness on the part of the American people.” The phrase “war on terror” has fallen out of favor: Obama avoids using it, he says, to keep from offending Muslims. Keeping Americans safe, the president says, is “the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning; it’s the last thing that I think about when I go to sleep at night.”

Group voids Afghan ballots UN-backed fraud group orders recounts in election THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KABUL

A U.N.-backed fraud commission threw out votes Thursday from 83 polling stations and ordered recounts at hundreds of others in three provinces that form Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s political base, reducing his chances of avoiding a runoff. It was the first time the commission has flexed its muscles in the aftermath of an Aug. 20 presidential election marred by allegations of ballot stuffing, phantom polling stations and turnout at some polls that exceeded 100 percent of registered voters. In an interview with The Associated Press, Karzai’s chief challenger, former foreign minister Abdullah Abdullah, charged that the massive scale of what he called “state-engineered” fraud has become clear only as the numbers have trickled out during the past three weeks. With results in from 92 percent of the country’s polling stations, Karzai has 54 percent of the vote, according to the latest official count. That’s enough to avoid a runoff election with Abdullah, who has 28 percent. But if the U.N.-backed Electoral Complaints Commission invalidates enough votes, Karzai’s margin could drop below 50 percent, forcing him to face Abdullah one-onone in a second round of voting.

Greenland’s melt mystery unfolds at glacial pace HELHEIM GLACIER, GREENLAND

Suddenly and without warning, the gigantic river of ice sped up, causing it to spit icebergs even faster into the ocean off southeastern Greenland. Helheim Glacier nearly doubled its speed in just a few years, flowing through a rift in the barren coastal mountains at a stunning 100 feet per day. Alarm bells rang as the pattern was repeated by glaciers across Greenland: Was the island’s vast ice sheet, a frozen water reservoir that could raise the sea level 20 feet if disgorged, in danger of collapse? Half a decade later, there’s a little bit of good news — and a lot of uncertainty. “It does seem that the very rapid speeds were only sustained for a short period of time although none of these glaciers have returned to the ‘normal’ flow speeds yet,” says Gordon Hamilton, a glaci-

France’s President Sarkozy urges carbon dioxide tax PARIS

French President Nicolas Sarkozy on Thursday called for taxing carbon dioxide emissions by households and businesses — a measure aimed at helping France slash its output of greenhouse gases, but viewed with skepticism by many. In a highly anticipated speech, Sarkozy argued that a carbon tax was essential in the face of threats to the climate and the need to reduce France’s dependence on oil. It’s part of Sarkozy’s push for a more prominent role in the global fight against climate change. “It is time for France to profoundly adapt its taxation system and create real ecological taxation,” Sarkozy said. The idea would be to tax energy derived from fossil fuels like gasoline, diesel fuel, coal and natural gas in order to discourage their use. If Sarkozy succeeds, France would be the largest economy to impose a carbon tax, though other European countries including Sweden Denmark, Finland and Slovenia already tax household carbon dioxide emissions. Among the French, however, surveys show around two-thirds of people oppose the measure. Businesses also expressed concern that the tax could hurt their competitiveness on the international market.

Netanyahu mystery trip sets off flap in Israel JERUSALEM

Benjamin Netanyahu dropped out of sight for most of a day this week, a mysterious absence that has set off feverish speculation about what the Israeli leader was up to — and accusations he lied to cover up a clandestine trip to Moscow. After initially issuing a vague statement about visiting a top-secret Mossad installation inside Israel, Netanyahu kept silent Thursday as reports emerged that he flew to Moscow aboard a private jet for urgent talks on Iran. According to various accounts, the Israeli prime

minister was either pushing the Russians to halt arms sales to Iran, or warning of an impending strike against Iranian nuclear facilities or discussing the recent disappearance of a Russian-crewed freighter. A shifting story line from Netanyahu’s office and then silence have enraged the local media, which branded the prime minister a liar and painted his office as a chaotic scene of rivalries and disarray.

Steamboat Springs High School traveled to Craig on Thursday for a tournament hosted by Moffat County High School. The Sailors were able to take the tournament with a For score of 227. results Tom Taylor, Visit www. Steamboat Springs steamboat assistant coach, pilot.com said the Sailors were getting good shots in all day. “I’ve been able to watch some of the guys today, and they look pretty good,” he said. “I usually try to follow the JV team more, but both have been playing really well.” After Wednesday’s tournament at Haymaker Golf Course in Steamboat Springs, the team has had two light travel days. “We’ve hardly had to drive, which is a nice break,” Taylor said. “It’s always a nice little road trip here.” The hosting team also performed well Thursday, proving it can dominate at home. The Bulldogs hosted 22 teams during their lone home tournament of the season, and they finished third, with a season-best score of 232. Coach Ken Harjes said playing at Yampa Valley Golf Course boosted his team’s confidence. “Of course,” he said, “they all came back in and said they could’ve done better, but they played well all day.” Moffat County was able to perform on its home turf, falling behind only Steamboat Springs and Battle Mountain High School, which came in with a score of 229. Individually, Moffat County was paced by Mark Dockstader and Parker King, who had scores of 77. Notes: Klayton Castanzo, of Rifle High School, won the tournament after a onehole playoff with Montrose High School’s Drew Trujillo and Montezuma-Cortez High School’s Brian Grubbs … Rifle’s Danny Bertels nailed a hole-in-one on hole 16.

Steamboat Springs Running Series co-coordinator Cara Marrs emphasized that Saturday’s season-ending race on Emerald Mountain is a trail run. That means, like all trail runs, the actual distance is up for debate, and anyone figuring on stopping at the advertised length of seven miles will be needing to find a way down from the mountain. “It might be closer to 7.5 miles,” Marrs said. “Trail races are rarely the distance you think they’re going to be.” The never-more-popular summer running series brings its season-long points race to an end with a new race.

Delta beat Gunnison, 34-14, last week. “It’s always very important. The first week of league play is really important,” Steamboat coach Aaron Finch said. “If you win, you have half the league chasing you. But we have to come out ready to play.” In Delta, Steamboat finds a team with a new coach again. The Panthers welcome first year coach Ben Johnson, who previously coached the defensive side of the ball for 2008 Class 2A state champion Olathe. There is always a mystery with first year coaches, but Finch said he has a decent idea of what Delta brings. The Panthers have been a middle of the pack team in the league the past several seasons, missing out on the playoffs each year by just a couple of games. That, combined with the new coaching staff, has Finch excited and a little leery about today. “They can really scare you and can make some plays,” Finch said. “They’re taking a new direction See Football, page 43

Soroco prepares for ground attack Joel Reichenberger PILOT & TODAY STAFF

A year ago, the Soroco football team just didn’t measure up against Longmont Christian. The team ran across the field and eventually to a 28-24 victory, racking up a mind numbing 323 yards rushing. The basics should again be the same, Rams coach David Bruner said. The Warriors return both of the backs that tormented his team in 2008. Only this time, he said he’s

confident his team can hang with the Front Range runners. “It will be a great football game, and the kids are looking forward to it,” Bruner said. “We expect all the same things. They’re still a power running football team, and we’ll have to find a way to stop them.” Longmont brothers Wes and

Austin Bennett each gained more than 100 yards in last year’s game, and each averaged better than 8 yards per carry. Defense has been the focus all week in practice, Bruner said. “Our linebackers and our defensive linemen will have to play really well so we can stop them,” he said. “They also ran a kickoff back on us, so we’ve been working a lot on special teams.” Bruner said that offensively, the Rams will look to leap over the quagmire at the line of

scrimmage. Quarterback Cody Miles threw for nearly 200 yards and for four touchdowns a week ago and could be ready for another big showing. The team will need all the points it can get. Longmont opened its season with a 43-0 win against Maranatha Christian. “We are a lot more confident on offense right now than we ever were last year,” Bruner said. “Our kids believe we can move the ball down the field, and that makes a big difference.”

Give Hayden football coach Shawn Baumgartner some credit. The two behemoths — 6foot-3-inch, 220-pound senior Jake Hawkins and the 6-foot3-inch, 195-pound Jake StrackLoertscher — who dominate the center of Roaring Fork’s offensive and defensive lines are, obviously, standing above their teammates and most anyone else they come across. And Baumgartner doesn’t miss the obvious. “They’re really big up front on both sides of the ball,” the Hayden football coach said

Thursday afternoon, preparing his 1-0 Tigers for their first road game of the season. “We have our work cut out for us.” If Hayden’s to improve to 20, it’s going to have to find a way around the heart of Roaring Fork’s line. Both Baumgartner and his Roaring Fork counterpart, Greg Holley, agreed that task may fall on the shoulders of the not-nearly 6-foot-3-inch or 220-pound Graig

Medvesk, Hayden’s junior quarterback. Medvesk managed to lift Hayden to a 13-7 win against Coal Ridge a week ago. He scored once running and once passing and accounted for all but 20 of his team’s 195 offensive yards. His ability to elude the monsters in the middle of the pack, both running and while dropping back to pass, could decide tonight’s game. “We’ve seen him on film, and he’s good,” Holley said. “We’ll have to contain him. We’ll put outside-inside pressure with our defensive ends and we have to contain him at the line of scrim-

mage.” Roaring Fork will be hoping for a better performance than it found in its first time out. Like Hayden, it returns a team short of experience. Unlike the Tigers, though, that spelled defeat in the season opener. The Rams lost to Hotchkiss, 46-6. “It’s never good to lose like that, but we knew we were young,” Holley said. Hayden hopes to sew a few holes in its game and right a wrong that proved costly last year. The Tigers won all their home games in 2008 but went winless on the road. That ugly streak cost them a chance at the playoffs.

It was just what the Steamboat Springs High School tennis team needed. On the eve of one of the biggest tournaments of the year — the Western Slope Open today and Saturday in Grand Junction — Steamboat got just the tune-

up it needed Thursday, downing Fruita-Monument, 7-0. All three singles players — Jamey Swiggart, Keegan Burger and Mirko Erspamer — won. The No. 1 doubles team of Jeff Lambart and Jack Burger; the No. 2 doubles team of Max Roder and Vladan Chase; the No. 3 doubles team of Callum Richman and Luke Farny; and

the No. 4 doubles team of Gabri Erspamer and Kyle Rogers all won in straight sets. Save for Mirko Erspamer, the Steamboat players won in straight sets. Mirko, who seems to have a flair for the dramatics, lost his first set before winning the next two in convincing fashion. See Tennis, page 42

Steamboat could be without top playmakers with a new coaching staff. But they’re one of those teams I’m really glad we’re playing early on because they are only going to get better and better as they go on.” Steamboat shouldn’t have to worry much about its passing game, as senior quarterback Austin Hinder threw for 326 yards and five touchdowns — two each to Jack Spady and Dylan Pivarnik — in the opener. One area of concern is the Sailors running game that produced only 75 yards on 13 carries. Take away a Hinder 57-yard gallop, and that equates to just 1.5 yards a carry. “We put in a lot more plays,” Pivarnik said. “I think we should have a better chance to mix it up.

We got to get a running game because we can’t just pass every down. I think that our running game has improved a lot. We worked throughout the bye week to put in a lot more.” Steamboat could again be without two of its top playmakers. Sophomore Garrett Pugh will miss today’s game with the lingering effects of a concussion suffered in preseason camp. Senior Joe Dover (hamstring) will be a game-time decision. Regardless, Finch said he’s just excited to get the real season under way. “Boy it’s good to get the league schedule started,” he said. “We treated our bye week as an extension of camp. Now it’s nice to get a rhythm of football week after week.”

Japan’s century club swells to 40K people

Mari Yamaguchi

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TOKYO

The number of Japanese centenarians has doubled in the past six years to a record high of more than 40,000, with women dominating the list of those whose lives have spanned more than a century, the government said Friday. Japan will have 40,399 people aged 100 or older this month, surpassing the previous record of 36,276 last year, the Health and Welfare Ministry said in an annual report marking a Sept. 21 national holiday honoring the elderly. More than 86 percent are women. The number of centenarians in Japan has risen at an accelerating pace for nearly 50 years. The centenarian population surpassed 10,000 just 10 years ago, reached 30,000 in 2007 and grew another 10,000 in the past two years, the ministry said. By 2050, Japan’s centenarian population is expected to reach nearly 1 million, according to the U.N. projections.

“The data clearly show that Japan is aging rapidly and steadily, mainly because of progress in medical care and the high living standard since the end of World War II,” ministry official Hiroyuki Ishii said. Each new centenarian will receive a letter from the prime minister and a silver cup. Although centenarians are healthier and more active than before, the rapidly graying population has fueled concerns about Japan’s overburdened public pension and medical care system. Officials have stepped up programs that encourage older citizens to stay active and continue working. The government gradually is extending the retirement age to 65 from 60, and some advocate pushing it further to 70. Japan has one of the world’s longest life expectancies — 86 years for women and 79 years for men. A 114-year-old woman from the southern island of Okinawa, whose name was not disclosed, holds the title of Japan’s oldest citizen.
