This year’s Mainstreet Farmers Market was a success, according to vendors who participated in the annual event held in downtown Steamboat Springs. “Summer was awesome — totally wonderful,” Cindy Ladue, of RedClay Handcrafted Designs, said Saturday.

customers in her second year at the event. “Even with the economy, I’ve done double what I did last year. But I have so much more variety.” Mainstreet Executive Director Tracy Barnett said the farmers market instituted some changes this year, which was the fifth for the market. This year’s event started a week earlier and ended a week later than last year’s, Barnett said. And she said the starting time was pushed back an hour to 9 a.m. for the event that

lasts until 2 p.m. Barnett said those changes helped contribute to the most successful year the farmers market has had to date. “There were a lot more vendors this year,” she said. “It’s grown every year. This year was the biggest.” She said the event averaged 55 vendors on Saturdays between June 13 and Sept. 12, up from about 50 last year. Barnett added that twice, on July 4 and Sept. 5 (Labor Day weekend), the Farmers Market

reached capacity with 63 vendors. That included more food vendors than ever before, which was a goal this year, she said. Juliann Poma, who manned the Sweet Pea organic produce stand Saturday, said the entire summer was a success for them and that the fact the weather cooperated each weekend didn’t hurt. She said it was Sweet Pea’s first year participating and that the stand would be back again next year. See Farmers market, page 13

Achooo! Fall allergy symptoms of a stuffy nose, watery eyes, itching and sneezing may have residents running to their local pharmacy for relief or begging for an early winter. These allergy symptoms, often called “hay fever,” are most commonly triggered from wind-borne pollen that is produced by weeds from late August through the first frost. The major offender for fall allergy sufferers is ragweed. However, anyone who feels surrounded by fields of sagebrush, sorrel and Russian thistle (to name a few other pesky plants) understands that there is no short supply of offending weeds in the Yampa Valley. When an allergic individual inhales this pollen, his or her immune system mistakenly identifies it as a foreign invader, such as a bacteria or virus. This causes a chain of inflammatory

��

events, ultimately resulting in a runny nose, itchy eyes and sneezing. Chronic throat pain, ear fullness, cough, eczema and asthma exacerbations also are common. How can you treat these miserable symptoms? The first step is to know what your allergy triggers are. An allergist can uncover these with specific testing and help you to understand how to minimize your exposure to these offending allergens. The second step in controlling your allergy symptoms is to mask them with the use of medicine. The two most common groups of medicine are antihistamines and nasal steroid sprays.

Antihistamines, which come in many forms, are designed to reduce the inflammation caused by the allergen. These medications frequently decrease the amount of sneezing and itching experienced. They can be used as needed during the allergy season. Intranasal steroid sprays, on the other hand, are best started one month before the onset of the allergy season and continued daily through the season. The steroid spray works locally in the nose to reduce congestion and post-nasal drip. If masking measures do not help, or you simply do not like the daily hassle of taking medicines, you may be a candidate for the third method of treatment — immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is the only option available that can reduce symptoms for the long-term. It does this by addressing the underlying cause of symptoms See Monday Medical, page 6

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Attorneys for the Steamboat Springs School Board and Steamboat 700 have reached an agreement to share the costs to build a new school needed as a result of the development west of city limits and to expand the district’s high school. School Board members will decide whether to approve the “covenant” agreement when they meet at 6 p.m. today in rooms 113 and 114 of Centennial Hall on 10th Street. The board approved an agreement with developers Aug. 24 after removing the word “tentative.” It stipulated Steamboat 700

would pay 47.2 percent of the $30 million cost, in today’s dollars, to construct a 600-student kindergarten to eighth-grade school and a 17,000-square-foot expansion of the high school. However, Superintendent Shalee Cunningham has said attorneys for the school district advised that board members shouldn’t have approved the agreement after removing the word “tentative” and had to vote again.

But Cunningham said the time between the last approval and today’s meeting allowed attorneys for both sides to draft the “covenant” agreement, the binding legal document between both parties. She said the “tentative” agreement highlighted the key points and that the terms in both agreements were the same. According to the proposed agreement, Steamboat 700 would pay for its portion of the project by dedicating a half percent real estate transfer fee to the district. That would be paid until the developer’s share of the cost is met, regardless of how long it takes. The agreement also stipulat-

The history of Routt County is embodied in its personalities — those who are living and those who have died. The annual occasion when they are added to the roster of people who have enriched life in the Yampa Valley is near. The deadline for submitting nominations for the Leckenby and Larson awards is 4 p.m. Sept. 23. Every year, the Leckenby and Larson Awards Committee of the Tread of Pioneers Museum presents two awards for people who have served the county’s public institution, preserved its history or contributed significantly to its heritage.

Calling all square dancers

Green Ridge Mountaineers Friday-night Hayden dances to start STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Square dancers will kick up their heels again in Hayden starting this month. The Green Ridge Mountaineers will meet each Friday starting this week, and they’re inviting anyone and everyone to join them. Dancers travel from across the region to enjoy camaraderie and music at the American Legion hut in Hayden. Bill and Ann Root, of Steamboat Springs, have square danced for 50 years and with the Mountaineers for four or five years, Bill Root said. “Steamboat has a real history of square dancing,” he said. “Back in the early ’50s and late ’40s, there were four clubs in Steamboat with four different callers.” The city used to close off Lincoln Avenue for square dancers, and people would dance on horseback, Bill Root said. The square dancing motto in the United States is “fun and friendship set to music,” he said. The Green Ridge Mountaineers have been dancing together for about 13 years, said Winfield Pankey, who lives east of Craig. Caller Jim Kline comes down from Rawlins, Wyo., to guide the dancers through moves. “Jim is really an amazing caller,” Ann Root said. “He’s an outstanding teacher; that’s his profession. He can take people literally from the ground, knowing nothing, and just taking

them up in just a few minutes’ time to where they’re dancing and having a good time. It’s quite amazing to watch it happen.” About 25 people participate in the group, which dances during fall, winter and spring. People come from across Routt County as well as from Craig and Meeker, Pankey said. His

daughter got him into square dancing about 20 years ago. The activity “breaks the monotony,” he said. Bill Root said he loves to dance partly because it’s great exercise. It’s amazing how the caller keeps people moving for those 2 1/2 hours, he said. Square dancing also requires concentration because participants must keep their ears open and follow the caller. “My wife and I are almost 80, and we just like to get the exercise and the friendship and the mental stimulation,” Root said. First-time visitors dance for free, Pankey said, so anyone interested should check it out. “Get on down there,” he said. “It’s a lot of fun. Give it a try.”

he hardiness of our garden plants depends on nature and nurture. For instance, a blue spruce that grows in the mountains in Steamboat Springs is hardier than a blue spruce from the Cascade Mountains. Part of its hardiness is genetically controlled and part of it is a “learned” response to our much harsher environment. Plants native to our region usually survive the winters because they have evolved in response to the climate and weather patterns of the mountains. Many of the plants in local gardens, however, were introduced from other climates or are considered exotic. They may not respond as well to Steamboat’s environment. So what can a gardener do to protect outdoor plants and help non-native plants (or coddled natives, grown in greenhouses) develop survival defenses? Outdoor plants kept in aboveground containers could be susceptible to frozen roots during a Steamboat winter. To protect these plants, consider moving them to a protected environment such as a cool

��

GARDENING WITH

Deb Babcock garage or greenhouse, or plant them in the ground or under a thick layer of sawdust or ground bark for the winter. Because we experience such intense sun in the winter, the leaves of our evergreen trees often heat up to 50 or 60 degrees Fahrenheit during the day. This causes transpiration, or moisture to move to the surface of the needles. Because the ground is frozen, the roots are unable to replace water in the needles. Then when the sun goes down and the wind kicks up, frost and the ice crystals form and kill the needles. This sunscald often occurs on the south- and west-facing branches. Evergreens can be protected from sunscald with windbreaks, shading or commercial products designed to keep moisture in evergreen needles. Sun and wind scald also can happen to the bark of trees with smooth or thin bark, such as aspens. For the first winter or two after transplant, consider wrapping the trunk from the ground to the first set of branches. Bark splitting and frost canker are two other problems

caused by harsh winters. This often occurs when it gets cold at the surface of the soil and there is no protection for the plant by a covering of snow or mulch. Once it warms up, the dead bark splits from the tree, girdling it and preventing the plant from transporting water and nutrients from the soil to the leaves and branches. Eventually, the entire plant dies. Sometimes the dead bark sinks into the tree, forming a canker. Protect your trees by mulching around the base, but not right up against the tree base where small animals may nest for the winter and cause problems. For other garden plants, help ensure their survival by making sure they don’t go into winter with completely dry roots. Water one last time before the snow blankets the ground, and consider a layer of mulch to keep the moisture from evaporating in the sun and wind. The most tender bulbs and rooted plants should be carefully dug up and stored in a cool place such as the basement or garage until spring. If your trees and plants can make it through a few Steamboat winters, they just might develop hardiness comparable to our rugged natives.

Treatment involves getting small but increasing doses of the antigen to “sensitize” a person’s immune system to the antigen, so that less inflammation is produced with exposure.

COMMENTARY

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

The body count at home Nicholas D. Kristof THE NEW YORK TIMES

In the debate about health care, here’s an inequity to ponder: Nikki White would have been far better off if only she had been a convicted bank robber. Nikki was a slim and athletic college graduate who had health insurance, had worked in health care and knew the system. But she had systemic lupus erythematosus, a chronic inflammatory disease that was diagnosed when she was 21 and gradually left her Kristof too sick to work. And once she lost her job, she lost her health insurance. In any other rich country, Nikki probably would have been fine, notes T.R. Reid in his important and powerful new book, “The Healing of America.” About 80 percent of lupus patients

in the United States live a normal life span. Under a doctor’s care, lupus should be manageable. Indeed, if Nikki had been a felon, the problem could have been averted, because courts have ruled that prisoners are entitled to medical care. As Reid recounts, Nikki tried everything to get medical care, but no insurance company would accept someone with her pre-existing condition. She spent months painfully writing letters to anyone she thought might be able to help. She fought tenaciously for her life. Finally, Nikki collapsed at her home in Tennessee and was rushed to a hospital emergency room, which then was required to treat her without payment until her condition stabilized. Because money no longer was an issue, the hospital performed 25 emergency surgeries on Nikki, and she spent six months in critical care.

“When Nikki showed up at the emergency room, she received the best of care, and the hospital spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on her,” her stepfather, Tony Deal, told me. “But that’s not when she needed the care.” By then, it was too late. In 2006, Nikki White died at age 32. “Nikki didn’t die from lupus,” her doctor, Amylyn Crawford, told Reid. “Nikki died from complications of the failing American health care system.” “She fell through the cracks,” Nikki’s mother, Gail Deal, told me grimly. “When you bury a child, it’s the worst thing in the world. You never recover.” We now have a chance to reform this cruel and capricious system. If we let that chance slip away, there will be another Nikki dying every half-hour. That’s how often someone dies in America because of a lack of insurance, according to a study by a branch of the See Kristof, page 9

Talk out health care; don’t shout it out Clarence Page

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

I have nothing against passion in politics. But when defenders of Rep. Joe Wilson’s interruption of President Barack Obama’s health care speech claim “free speech” and “double standards,” they only reveal their own misguided manners and political tone-deafness. Wilson, a South Carolina Republican, made history by shouting, “You lie!” during Obama’s speech to a joint sesPage sion of Congress. That’s OK with a sadly sizeable number of onlookers. They even offer arguments that sound remarkably alike, as if they were coached by the same talk radio hosts and cable TV news shows. “Why is it regrettable to express a sentiment, thought, idea, feeling,

MALLARD FILLMORE

etc.?” said one fairly typical example in response to a blog posting. “I thought free speech was as American as apple pie and baseball.” “The Democrats booed during George Bush’s State of the Union speech in 2005 and no media commented,” said another blog reader. “You can’t have it both ways!” True. In fact, Republicans jeered President Bill Clinton so sharply during one of his addresses that he departed from his text to respond like a stand-up comedian facing hecklers on open-mike night. Good theater, one might argue, if it is kept within limits. The famously formal British Parliament raises raucous audience reactions to an art form, a virtual symphony of tut-tut booing and hear-hear cheering during their regular Prime Minister’s Questions. But we Yanks can be a more feisty bunch. Open the door to outbursts of

individual approval, disapproval and advice such as Wilson’s rude shout of “You lie!” during Obama’s speech, and we’ll have a hard time getting that beast back into the barn. This is our Congress, after all — not a caged wrestling match. I don’t care how many people have a hard time telling the difference. Calling the president a liar to his face during a formal address to Congress crosses lines I don’t think most Americans want to cross. For a member to interrupt the nation’s commanderin-chief during an address to Congress disrespects the office itself and the nation for which it stands. It’s also bad manners. We Americans believe in free speech, but not when that speech interrupts the free speech of others. Perhaps some folks are confused by an overexposure to noisy TV and radio talk shows. I confess to participating in See Page, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

National Academy of Sciences. In a year, that amounts to 18,000 American deaths. After al-Qaida killed nearly 3,000 Americans, eight years ago on Friday, we went to war and spent hundreds of billions of dollars ensuring this would not happen again. Yet every two months, that many people die because of our failure to provide universal insurance — and yet many members of Congress want us to do nothing? Reid’s book is a rich tour of health care across the world. Because he has a bum shoulder, he asked doctors in many countries to examine it and make recommendations. His American orthopedist recommended a titanium shoulder replacement that would cost tens of thousands of dollars and might or might not help. Specialists in other countries warned that a sore shoulder didn’t justify the risks of such

major surgery, although some said it would be available for free if Reid insisted. Instead, they offered physical therapy, acupuncture and other cheap and noninvasive alternatives, some of which worked pretty well. That’s a window into the flaws in our health care system: We offer titanium shoulder replacements for those who don’t really need them, but we let 32-year-old women die if they lose their health insurance. No wonder we spend so much on medical care and yet have some health care statistics that are worse than Slovenia’s. My suggestion for anyone in Nikki’s situation: Commit a crime and get locked up. In Washington state, a 20-yearold inmate named Melissa Matthews chose to turn down parole and stay in prison because that was the only way she could get treatment for her cervical cancer. “If I’m out, I’m going to die from this cancer,”

she told a TV station. Tony and Gail Deal said they are speaking out because Nikki wouldn’t want anyone to endure what she did. “Nikki was a college-educated, middleclass woman, and if it could happen to her, it can happen to anyone,” Tony Deal said. “This should not be happening in our country.” Struggling to get out the words, Gail Deal added: “The loss of a child is the greatest hurt anyone will ever suffer. Because of the circumstances she endured with the health care system, I lost my daughter.” Complex arguments are being batted around in this health care debate, but the central issue isn’t technical but moral. The first question is simply this: Do we wish to be the only rich nation in the world that lets a 32-year-old woman die because she can’t get health insurance? Is that really us?

Illegal immigrants should be able to buy Page continued from 8 some of them, after warning my own son, “Do not try this at home.” Wilson apologized after prodding from Republican leaders, he says. Some Democrats called for his censure, too, but I think he’s already getting enough punishment back home. Rob Miller, a Marine captain and Iraq war veteran who is Wilson’s Democratic opponent for reelection, was reported to have raised a half-million dollars in the first 24 hours after Wilson’s outburst. He should send Wilson a thank you card. And what about the issue Wilson raised? Did Obama lie when he said Democratic health-care legislation would not extend coverage to illegal immigrants? By the letter of the proposed law as written,

Obama is right. The House bill specifically bans illegal immigrants from receiving federal subsidies to purchase insurance. Still, conservative critics argue that there are not enough safeguards to prevent some illegal immigrants from slipping through. A Congressional Research Service report, for example, found that some illegal immigrants would not be prohibited from purchasing insurance on their own through the health insurance exchanges that would be established by the bill. However, some conservative commentators have confused the public by ignoring that the bill would require immigrants to use their own money to purchase insurance, just as they can now. Bottom line, the report says, health reform “leaves in place the status quo” and “certainly

does not provide any new benefits particularly for illegal immigrants.” Let’s ask ourselves: Do we want to discourage illegal workers from buying their own medical insurance? Or would we prefer to add their numbers to those for whom taxpayers already are providing health care through hospital emergency rooms? That’s a subject worth debating, and the debate goes on. House Democrats oppose making the rules so strict that people who should be eligible are denied coverage. Opponents are concerned that some undocumented immigrants might slip through a loophole such as being the parents of children who are citizens because they were born here. Either way, these are technical details. They need to be talked out, not shouted out.

From today through Friday and from Sept. 21 to 25, Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. will close some summer trails while it tests an experimental method to dispose of slash piles left behind by logging operations. The ski area removed trees killed by the mountain pine beetle this summer. The parking lot at the top of Burgess Creek Road near the Thunderhead Express ski lift, the disc golf course, and sections of the Zig Zag bike trail and Thunderhead hiking trails will be closed. Access to the

��

mountain will remain open via the Yoo Hoo and Valley View trails, as well as Creekside to the upper portion of Zig Zag. The ski area is working with the Colorado State Forest Service and the U.S. Forest Service to test a new method for disposing of slash known as mastication. As its name suggests, the process involves grinding up slash. Unlike wood chipping, however, the process leaves the forest floor in a condition that promotes regrowth. It also provides an alternative to burning in smoke-sensitive areas. As the Rocky Mountain West deals with an unprecedented mountain pine beetle

epidemic, slash disposal is a major challenge. The trail closures are necessary because mastication is a dangerous that can send debris as far as 300 feet.

STEAMBOAT TODAY

Tackling the ‘mountain,’ feeling better in the process Tamera Manzanares

FOR THE STEAMBOAT TODAY

Willpower, motivation, positive thinking, planning — these challenges can trip up anyone trying to make better health choices. What may be small hurdles for some can turn into seemingly insurmountable mountains for individuals coping with chronic conditions and daily symptoms such as pain, fatigue and depression. As overwhelming as this can be, there are tools to help people overcome defeating thoughts and anxiety to make positive choices that, ultimately, will give them back the self-confidence they need to control the quality of their lives. Healthier Living Colorado is a program based on a model of chronic disease self-management developed by Stanford University. The Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association is helping administer the program throughout the Western Slope, including communities close to home. The free six-week workshop has been held periodically throughout Routt and Moffat counties. The next workshop will be in Craig beginning Sept. 23. Healthier Living has been shown to reduce hospital and outpatient visits among participants and improve their exercise levels, among other benefits. What speaks more powerfully, however, is the experience of individuals such as Kathy Shea, who found the class so inspiring and helpful that she decided to be trained as an instructor. “It really opened my eyes to the possibility of change and really taking charge and making things better for me,” said Shea, who will be leading the upcoming class in Craig. Chronic conditions include

��

many ailments and diseases that cannot be cured or never completely go away. Participants in past classes have ranged in age from 40 to 89 and grappled with issues such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis, heart problems, cancer, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, arthritis and back pain. At least 80 percent of older Americans live with at least one chronic condition, and about half have at least two chronic conditions, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In a recent public health report, Acting Surgeon General Steven Galson highlights the importance of community-based self-management programs in providing individuals the knowledge and confidence to take an active role in managing their chronic conditions. “Many of the nation’s leading health care experts are recommending a combination of clinical and community-based interventions to address the growing prevalence of chronic conditions,” notes the report, “Self-Management Programs: One Way to Promote Healthy Aging.” Healthier Living Colorado, which includes a workbook for reference, is driven by group discussion and participation. Within this setting, participants learn about self-management practices such as exercise, relaxation, healthy eating and effective communication and how to implement the tools into their lives. Shea, who copes with rheumatoid arthritis, has found peer support in the class particularly helpful. “It’s cathartic to be in a group of people with similar circumstances,” she said. “The empathy that comes out after everyone is settled and comfort-

Free workshop Healthier Living Colorado, a free workshop aimed at helping individuals better cope with chronic conditions, will be from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Wednesdays, Sept. 23 through Oct. 28 at the Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association in Craig. The workshop is open to anyone with chronic conditions as well as those who support and care for them. To register for the Craig workshop or learn about scheduled workshops in Routt and Moffat counties, call 8717676.

able is pretty significant.” A key component of the program is setting goals and following through with those goals with an action plan. Participants revisit their plans sharing successes and challenges with others in the class. Each person also has a “buddy” who checks in with them between classes to see how they are progressing. Problem solving encourages participants to understand why they weren’t able to follow through with a plan, such as recognizing things that trigger them to do unhealthy things, rather than dwell in failure. “Part of the class is working with your good days and bad days and understanding you can be more informed, and you can participate in the world around you,” Shea said. “You can always learn to make your space and outlook better.” The class helps participants take down the mental mountains that make healthy choices seem

hard or unattainable. Exercise, for example, does not have to be rigorous or painful. It can be gentle, soothing and even enjoyable. The program helps open participants’ eyes to community resources such as the VNA’s Aging Well program, which provides Tai Chi, balance, water fitness and other classes geared toward a wide variety of fitness levels and goals. Other programs, such as Wellness Wednesdays in Craig and Wellness Days in Hayden — full days of healthy aging activities each week — provide important health and social outlets for older adults and individuals with chronic conditions who

may be prone to isolation and depression. “You can focus on being mopey or stuck, or you can go out there and be engaged and go for it … and not be stuck in a cycle that is not good for you,” Shea said. Tamera Manzanares writes for the Aging Well program and can be reached at tmanzanares@nwcovna.org or 871-7606. Aging Well, a division of Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association, is a community-based program of healthy aging for adults 50 and older.

Market seller: It’s such a good atmosphere Farmers market continued from 1 “It’s such a good atmosphere — the mix between locals and out-of-towners,” said Poma, who added that the stand sold a lot of produce this year. Some area businesspeople also said they benefited from the farmers market. Paula Salky, of All That Jazz, said she thought it was a positive thing for the community and had become a destination event on Saturdays. Because of the benefits it brought to the business, Salky said she wished it went on longer and started sooner. “Anytime an activity brings people downtown, it brings

people into our stores and restaurants,” she said. “If we didn’t have the Farmers Market, I don’t think we’d have that traffic on Saturdays.” But not all nearby businesses were able to generate sales from Farmers Market patrons. Traci Dobbins, a bartender and manager at Old Town Pub, which is adjacent to the event site on Sixth Street, said the restaurant began offering a Saturday brunch to attract some of the Farmers Market visitors. But she said it didn’t work. “We didn’t get any spillover business,” Dobbins said. “We expected to, but because of the food out there, it wasn’t what we

Snow closes road Trail Ridge Road in national park closes overnight Saturday THE DENVER POST

A light snowfall with gusting winds closed Trail Ridge Road for the first time this snow season Saturday night, but the scenic pass through Rocky Mountain National Park reopened Sunday morning, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation. U.S. Highway 34, as the route also is known, closed in both directions from Rainbow Curve to Milner Pass from 10:41 p.m. Saturday to 9:30 a.m. Sunday because of poor visibility, a CDOT spokesman said today. The National Weather Service forecast a 30 percent chance of scattered showers or thunderstorms and a low of 38 degrees for the park tonight followed by highs in the low to mid 50s all week. Trail Ridge Road typically closes for the season in October, with periodic closings for snow in September. The 48-mile road from Estes Park to Grand Lake is the spine of Rocky Mountain National Park, which saw an uptick to more than 2.43 million visitors this year, The Associated Press reported Sunday. National Park Service records showed 120,000 more visitors through the end of August than during the same period a year ago. Labor Day weekend visits were 9 percent higher than during the same weekend in 2008. Trail Ridge Road is the highest “through” road in the United States, rising from 10,758 feet in elevation to 12,185 at the Continental Divide. Meanwhile in Clear Creek County, the top four miles of the highest paved road in the nation to the summit of Mount Evans Road closed for the season on Sept. 3. Mount Evans Byway from Colorado Highway 103 to Summit Lake remains open open until weather requires closure, according to CDOT. Independence Pass from Twin Lakes to Aspen, which rises to 12,095 feet, also remains open. Saturday’s snowfall above treeline wasn’t the first of the year, however. Colorado’s highest elevations are capable of snowfall yearround, where night temperatures routinely dip below freezing above treeline, according to the National Weather Service.

Two men who filed lawsuits alleging they were sexually abused by a former priest have reached settlements with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pueblo, a newspaper reported Sunday. Monsignor Mark Plewka of the diocese confirmed the settlements with a man and his nephew, The Pueblo Chieftain reported. The man alleged Andrew �� Burke abused him from 197078. The lawsuits accuse Burke � �� of establishing a similar relationship with the man’s nephew. �� Burke left the priesthood in 1973. He committed suicide in

September 2005 at age 62, after reporters asked questions about the allegations. The man had sought $1.8 million from the diocese and the release of Burke’s personnel file. Terms of the settlements weren’t disclosed, but Burke’s file was not released. Another man who alleges Burke abused him previously won the right to look at Burke’s personnel file, which may show how early the diocese was aware of allegations of abuse. The Colorado Supreme Court recently affirmed a decision by a Pueblo District judge compelling the diocese to release Burke’s file to the John Doe accuser.

Plewka and lawyer Adam Horowitz, who represents the accuser, said last week the diocese provided Burke’s file to the plaintiff’s lawyers. The diocese immediately followed its compliance with a request to the court seeking to keep Burke’s file sealed from public viewing. Horowitz said he intends to challenge the request. Last year, the diocese and the Marianist religious order agreed to pay about $4 million to 23 men who said they were sexually abused when they attended Roncalli High School in Pueblo. The school, which closed in 1971, was owned by the diocese.

The Garfield County coroner will be working without pay for a while after being cited with not keeping up with his required training. In a letter dated Aug. 13, the Colorado Coroners Standards and Training Board cited Trey Holt with failure to attend 16 hours of in-service training for 2008.

SAN DIEGO

Despite dropping two of three games to San Diego, the Colorado Rockies like their position in the National League playoff chase. Tony Gwynn drove in the goahead run with a sacrifice fly in a three-run sixth inning and the SUNDAY’S Padres beat the GAME: wild card-leadPADRES 7 ing Rockies, 7-3, Rockies 3 Sunday. The Rockies open a three-game series in San Francisco on Monday against the Giants, who pulled to 4 1/2 games back in the wild-card race after beating the Dodgers. “I think that where we are going, it’s probably the best thing in the world for us,” Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. “To get into that environment and realize that we’re staring at the people that have a chance to track you down and go get them.” The Rockies remained three games behind the Dodgers in the West with 18 games left to play. “We get an opportunity to do some really good things over the course of the next few days,” Tracy said. “I think you look at it as a positive.” Colorado carried a 3-2 lead into the bottom of the sixth when the Padres scored three runs. Jason Marquis (15-11) walked four batters in the inning, including one with the bases loaded. “I didn’t get an out when I needed to,” Marquis said. “I’m disappointed I couldn’t keep the game in check.” The Rockies are the latest division contender to be surprised by San Diego (64-79). In three consecutive series, the Padres have taken two of three games from the Dodgers, San Francisco and Colorado. “These are teams that are fighting to get in the playoffs,” San Diego’s Chase Headley said. “That’s where we want to be. For us to get to that level, we have to beat those teams and get to that level.”

Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall hangs onto the ball despite a punishing hit from Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Rey Maualuga after a 4-yard reception in the third quarter Sunday in Cincinnati. The Broncos won, 12-7.

Broncos win, 12-7

Wacky TD brings Denver victory for its opening game Joe Kay

CINCINNATI

Brandon Stokley caught the deflected pass, turned and looked upfield. Nobody stood between him and the end zone. Unbelievable! In the time it takes to sprint the length of the field, Stokley ran Denver out of a crushing loss and into franchise lore. His 87-yard touchdown with 11 seconds left on Sunday provided a 12-7 victory against the Cincinnati Bengals, who are going to need a long time to recover from this one. “I’ve never seen anything like that,” Bengals quarter-

back Carson Palmer said. “I’ve played football since I was 7 or 8, and I’ve not seen that.” No one had. It was the longest game-winning play from scrimmage in the final minute of the fourth quarter in NFL history, according to the league. A half hour after it ended, a Bengals fan in an orange Rey Maualuga jersey sat alone in the otherwise empty expanse of green seats behind the end zone, staring at the field, trying to comprehend what had just happened. One weird bounce had changed everything. “You know you need a miracle, and that’s basically what we got,” Stokley said. “When I

scored, I just remember it being quiet, and that was a good feeling.” The Broncos felt sick after Cedric Benson’s 1-yard run put the Bengals up 7-6 with 38 seconds left. No one felt worse than quarterback Kyle Orton, whose poor judgment had given the Bengals their chance to pull ahead. Down to desperation, Orton threw a sideline pass that was nearly intercepted. The next play was a throw to the other sideline for Brandon Marshall, who was blanketed. Cornerback Leon Hall cut in front, went up for the ball and tipped it into the air.

The fatigue of four days of play finally caught up to the Steamboat Springs High School boys tennis team, but not before the squad recorded a respectable weekend, coach John Aragon said. The Sailors wrapped up their play in the Western Slope Open in Grand Junction on Saturday and notched several top finishes. The No. 3 doubles team of Callum Richman and Luke Farny led the squad. The pair finished third in the tournament. “They did play well,” Aragon said. “For a young team, they came through in a big tournament.” Jamey Swiggart finished fourth in the No. 1 singles bracket. Aragon said that like a lot of the team, he was close to finishing much higher. “With Jamey, a few balls made the difference between making the finals and not making the finals,” Aragon said. “We started to look at how close all the matches were, and we were really proud of our young men.” No. 2 singles player Keegan Burger was fifth, along with the No. 1 doubles squad of Jack Burger and Jeff Lambart. The No. 2 doubles team went on to place sixth, but that came without regular player Vladan Chase. Chase sat the weekend out with food poisoning. Lev Tsypen filled in, playing alongside Max Roder and getting his first chance this season at the varsity squad. The pair couldn’t overcome the difficult field, however. “They could definitely have been one of the finalists if everyone had been healthy,” Aragon said. “Looking at the level of play at the No. 2 doubles, they would have been in the hunt.” Steamboat left without an entry making the finals, but Aragon said there still was plenty gained from the trip. “We had a lot of matches in a row, and our legs were just tired, but this level of competition was just awesome,” Aragon said. “I feel we were a better team when we finished, and our kids did very well.

The Steamboat Golden Girls tennis team traveled to Denver on Sept. 5, where the team finished second in the 3.5 division of the Super Senior District Championship. The team led by Jo Ann Lathrop was hoping to advance to the sectional tournament later this year but needed to win the tournament to get an invitation. Bobbie Beall, Roberta Gill, Jan McGinnis, Marlyn Meyer, Marcia Pomietlasz, Karel Snell and Jeannie Wolf played on the team. The Super Senior team is made up of players at least 60 years old. The Steamboat team has played in the district tournament for the past three years. The team members played twice each day during the twoday tournament. More than 280 men and women played in the 3.5 and 4.0 divisions at the tournament, and only the winners advanced to the sectional tournament.

Steamboat’s Kathi Skytta also played with a 4.0 super senior team from Vail that finished second overall.

Local gymnasts take center stage at competition Sixty-one athletes from Steamboat Springs, Northglenn and Boulder competed in the first Junior Olympic Girls Gymnastics competition held at Excel Gymnastics on Sept. 5. The meet consisted of girls compulsory events on vault, beam, floor and uneven bars for athletes in levels 4, 5 and 6. Teams from the Colorado Athletic Training School and Gymnastics Unlimited competed in the first session, which consisted of 25 Level 6 athletes. The girls competed in all four events, with points being tallied for the all-around and team titles. Caitlyn Kendro, of Gymnastics Unlimited, won the individual title in the event with a score of

34.7. Gymnastics Unlimited also won the team title for the first session. Steamboat’s Excel Gymnastics had five athletes competing at Level 5, and seven competing at Level 4 in the second session. It was the first meet for five of the seven athletes competing at Level 4. Maggie McElhiney finished first for the Level 5 division, and teammate Julia Gibbs was second in the all-around. McElhiney finished with a 9.0 score in all four events and finished with a combined score of 37.1. McEhiney, Gibbs, Taylor Rogers, Emily Groves and Patricia Davie combined to bring home the first-place trophy in the team event, as well. Alyssa Groves placed fifth in the Level 4 group with a score of 34.9, and Taylor Wiese was sixth at 33.9. The two Steamboat girls were the only ones with previous experience. Emma and Amie Cooke, Sophia Grewal, Caelan Daly and Sydney Shelton also competed in the level four events.

A strong defensive showing helped deliver the Hayden football team something it hasn’t tasted in nearly 20 months — a road win. The Tigers were shut out away from home last year, but they knocked off the Roaring Fork Rams, 20-3, on Friday night to improve to 2-0 on the season. “It’s been quite a while. It definitely feels nice,” Hayden coach Shawn Baumgartner said. Hayden only surrendered a third-quarter field goal in the game. That wasn’t nearly enough to counteract a solid night by the Tigers offense. Ben Fulton scored the game’s first touchdown in the second quarter on a 5-yard reception from quarterback Graig Medvesk. After a Rene Valdez extra point, it was 7-0, and Hayden had all the points it would need.

Medvesk had his fingers involved in another touchdown in the third quarter, running in from 1 yard out. Jake Walker then put the game on ice in the fourth, scoring from 1 yard. Medvesk finished the night 1427 for 208 yards. “We moved the ball fairly well,” Baumgartner said. “Graig completed a couple long passes that opened some things up for us, and then it was just pick and choose from some running plays to see how their defense was adjusting. “We were able to run the ball up the middle. They gave us some creases there, and we took advantage.” Defensively, Baumgartner pointed to his defensive line. He said Kolton Miller and Koleman Williams ransacked the Roaring Fork backfield and proved a constant menace to the quarterback.

��

“They got a lot of pressure back there, especially in the fourth quarter,” Baumgartner said. “Roaring Fork had a really hard time blocking those guys and trying to throw the ball.” Hayden returns to the road Friday for a game at Grand Valley. “That will be a tough game,” Baumgartner said. “We have had battles with them for three or four years now, and nothing has changed. We will have our hands full.”

WASHINGTON

President Barack Obama said he is confident Congress will pass “a good health care bill,” as months of rancor over reforming the nation’s health care system seemed to be easing Sunday, with the White House playing down an immediate role for a government insurance option. At the same time, Obama was critiObama cal of Republican opponents who he said were trying to block an overhaul of the nation’s heath care system for political gain. “I believe that we will have enough votes to pass not just any health care bill, but a good health care bill that helps the American people, reduces costs, actually

��

BOSTON

When Dr. Robert Flaherty launched a private practice in 2001, he soon found himself cramming in as many patients as possible to make ends meet, leaving little time to discuss with them the steps they could take to prevent future health troubles. “I constantly felt that conflict of going faster than I should,” said Flaherty, 40, of Mashpee, who gave up his practice after four years for a hospital post. “Everyone knows if you want to make a decent living, become a specialist; if you want to be banging your head, go into primary care.” Among the many hurdles facing

over the long-term controls our deficit. I’m confident that we’ve got that,” Obama said in an interview broadcast Sunday on CBS’ “60 Minutes. “There are those in the Republican party who think the best thing to do is just to kill reform. That, that will be good politics.” Obama has retaken the offensive on his key domestic policy issue, most notably with a speech last week to both houses of Congress. And sought to turn down the heat over a government-run health insurance plan. “The public option is only a means to that end and we should

President Barack Obama’s plan to revamp the nation’s health care system is a shortage of primary care physicians — those legions of overworked doctors who provide the front line of medical care for both the sick and those hoping to stay healthy. As Massachusetts’ experience shows, extending health care to 50 million uninsured Americans will only further stress the system and could force many of those newly insured back into costly emergency rooms for routine care if they can’t find a primary care doctor, health care observers said. — The Associated Press

remain open to other ideas that accomplish our ultimate goal,” he said. Obama is trying to push opposing lawmakers away from positions — both left and right — that were threatening stalemate. That’s what happened when Bill Clinton, the last Democratic president, tried to push through an overhaul in the 1990s. Obama’s spokesman, Robert Gibbs, drove home that point again Sunday. The president “prefers the public option,” Gibbs said. “However, he said what’s most important is choice and competition.”

Bad news for news media: More think they’re biased David Bauder

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK

��

More bad news for journalists: The percentage of people who think their work is inaccurate and biased continues to grow. Nearly two-thirds — 63 percent — of Americans surveyed by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press think that news stories are often inaccurate. That’s a flip from when Pew first asked that question in 1985, when 34 percent of respondents thought stories frequently were inaccurate. Pew also found that 74 percent of respondents think stories tend to favor one side of an issue over another, up from 66 percent two years ago. Those trends tend to go hand in hand, said Andrew Kohut, the Pew center’s director. “If people believe that news reports are often biased, they will say they’re inaccurate,” he said. The findings indicate U.S. newspapers and broadcasters could be alienating the audiences they are struggling to keep as they try to sur-

vive financial turmoil. Pew Research’s questionnaire didn’t attempt to gauge how shrinking newspapers and other cutbacks at news organizations are affecting people’s perceptions, though the reductions probably haven’t helped, said Michael Dimock, an associate director for the center. The financial problems mainly stem from a steep decline in the ad sales that generate most of the media’s revenue. Newspapers’ print editions have been losing readers to the Internet, and broadcasters’ audiences are fragmenting in an age of cable TV and satellite radio. The budget squeeze “means facts don’t get checked as carefully as they should,” according to Bill Keller, executive editor of The New York Times. But he still thinks many media outlets still go to great lengths to get the facts right and own up to their mistakes when the information is wrong. “The great flood that goes under the heading ‘news media’ has been poisoned by junk blogs, gossip sheets, shout radio and cable-TV partisans that don’t deserve to be trusted,” Keller stated in an e-mail.
