Weather may not be the only thing slowing traffic along Lincoln Avenue starting this fall. The Colorado Department of Transportation is scheduled to begin a major resurfacing project in downtown Steamboat Springs later this week. The U.S. Highway 40 project will replace asphalt with concrete on the stretch of Lincoln Avenue from Third to 13th streets. The project also will include improvements to underground utilities, storm sewers and sidewalks.

town sidewalks. This fall’s work will mostly entail the associated underground utility work. The concrete repaving will be carried out in the spring. Although some businesspeople in the room weren’t thrilled with all aspects of the project, most accepted it as a necessary evil. “It sounds like it’s going to See Lincoln, page 14

A multifaceted overhaul of Lincoln Avenue from Third Street to 13th Street begins Wednesday. Concerns raised Monday ranged from the project’s phasing to its effects on parking and access points. Those involved with the project didn’t downplay its invasive nature. “This is a massive construction project,” project spokeswoman Jody Patten said. “It’s not going to be painless along the way, but in the end, everybody is telling me that they’re really excited about what this will do for Old Town.” According to an information sheet distributed at Monday’s meeting, U.S. Highway 40 through downtown Steamboat is “the most heavily traveled section of U.S. 40 in Northwest Colorado and it is several years

City, Triple Crown mull future

Down year brings focus to possible splitting of World Series

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Triple Crown Sports has successfully weathered grasshopper outbreaks and wildfires, President Dave King said, but the sports tourism company couldn’t beat a national recession. King said Monday that Triple Crown’s business this summer in Steamboat Springs — where the company hosts 10 weeks of softball and baseball tournaments each summer — was down about 20 percent. King thinks it’s the first time he has seen a year-to-year decline in business in the three decades Steamboat has hosted tournaments. King recently met with a group of city officials informally at Triple Crown’s Fort Collins headquarters. “Dave was probably as calm as I’ve ever seen him,” City Council President Loui Antonucci reported to his fellow council members at a meeting last week. Antonucci said the fact that Triple Crown’s business slowed ultimately could prove to be a good thing for Steamboat. “The upshot is I think (King) has seen the light on a number of levels.” A community debate has

Fund Board groups merge

1st meeting of Capital/Technology Commission is Wednesday Jack Weinstein

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

��

The Education Fund Board’s Technology and Capital commissions have been merged into one to better address long-term planning and the funding needs of area schools, Fund Board President Mark Andersen said. The combined commission’s first meeting is at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday in the George P. Sauer Human Services Center on Seventh Street. But the new commission won’t become official until the next regular Fund Board meeting Oct. 7, Andersen said. In the past, three commissions — Capital, Technology and Education Excellence — would make recommendations to the Fund Board about how to allocate the city’s half-cent sales tax revenue for education.

Often, those recommendations are based on requests received from schools and youth organizations. The sales tax revenue has reached $3 million in recent years. Past gifts have included $250,000 for the turf football field at Steamboat Springs High School, nearly $600,000 for the Steamboat Springs School District to purchase computers, and $800,000 to hire 16 teachers for the district to keep class sizes small. Andersen said combing Capital and Technology, the two commissions that often required long-term planning and multiyear funding for larger projects, streamlined their efforts. “It gives us the opportunity to make sure we’re doing things in the appropriate way,” he said. Roger Good, who has been nominated to lead the Capital/

Technology Commission, said combining the commissions did two things. First, it separated the commissions that handled longterm projects from Educational Excellence, which deals specifically with issues regarding the classroom. Second, in a down tax year, Good said it made sense to group the requests that require more planning and funding when economic issues are more challenging than they’ve been in past years.

COMMENTARY

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

The self-correcting presidency Ross Douthat

THE NEW YORK TIMES

Last week, the Census Bureau released a statistical report on the last year of George W. Bush’s presidency. The numbers were brutal. On every indicator, Americans lost ground during the Bush era. The median income slumped. The poverty rate increased. The percentage of Americans without health insurance increased. Adding insult to injury, the umpteenth insider look Douthat at Bush administration’s dysfunction was unveiled last week as well, courtesy of an obscure second-term speechwriter named Matt Latimer. (Next up: Bush’s White House chef tells all!) Latimer’s memoir, excerpted in GQ, offers grist for Bush-whackers of both parties. For liberals, there’s Dubya the incurious frat boy, flubbing

policy details and cracking wise about Hillary Clinton’s posterior. For conservatives eager to prove that the most unpopular president in 50 years was never really one of them, there’s Bush the crypto-liberal, who dismisses the conservative movement and boasts that he personally “redefined the Republican Party.” The census report is yet another nail in the coffin of Bush’s reputation; Latimer’s tell-all seems more like a thumbtack. Both are reminders that it’s hard to imagine his presidency being remembered as anything but a failure, by liberals and conservatives alike. But if Bush is destined to go down as a failed president, come what may, he looks increasingly like an unusual sort of failure. America has had its share of disastrous chief executives. But few have gone as far as Bush did in trying to repair their worst mistakes. Those mistakes were the Iraq war — the

decision to invade and the conduct of the occupation — and the irrational exuberance that stoked the housing bubble. The repairs were the surge, undertaken at a time when the political class was ready to abandon Iraq to the furies, and last fall’s unprecedented economic bailout. The fixes remain controversial. But for the moment, they look like the sort of disaster-averting interventions for which presidents get canonized. It’s just that in Bush’s case, the disasters he averted were created on his watch. This leaves him in an unusual position where the judgments of future generations are concerned. On foreign policy, Bush looks a lot like Lyndon Johnson — but only if Johnson, after years of unsuccessful escalation, had bequeathed Richard Nixon a new strategy that enabled U.S. troops to withdraw from Vietnam with their honor largely intact. See Douthat, page 9

Reform or bust Paul Krugman

THE NEW YORK TIMES

In the grim period that followed Lehman’s failure, it seemed inconceivable that bankers would, just a few months later, be going right back to the practices that brought the world’s financial system to the edge of collapse. At the very least, one might have thought, they would show some restraint for fear of creating a public backlash. But now that we’ve stepped back a few Krugman paces from the brink — thanks, let’s not forget, to immense, taxpayer-financed rescue packages — the financial sector rapidly is returning to business as usual. Even as the rest of the nation continues to suffer from rising unemployment and severe hardship, Wall Street paychecks are

heading back to pre-crisis levels. And the industry is deploying its political clout to block even the most minimal reforms. The good news is that senior officials in the Obama administration and at the Federal Reserve seem to be losing patience with the industry’s selfishness. The bad news is that it’s not clear whether President Barack Obama himself is ready, even now, to take on the bankers. Credit where credit is due: I was delighted when Lawrence Summers, the administration’s ranking economist, lashed out at the campaign the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, in cooperation with financial-industry lobbyists, is running against the proposed creation of an agency to protect consumers against financial abuses, such as loans whose terms they don’t understand. The chamber’s ads, declared Summers, are “the financial-regulatory equivalent of the death-panel ads that are being run with respect to health care.”

Yet protecting consumers from financial abuse should be only the beginning of reform. If we really want to stop Wall Street from creating another bubble, followed by another bust, we need to change the industry’s incentives — which means, in particular, changing the way bankers are paid. What’s wrong with financial-industry compensation? In a nutshell, bank executives are rewarded lavishly if they deliver big short-term profits — but aren’t correspondingly punished if they later suffer even bigger losses. This encourages excessive risk-taking: Some of the men most responsible for the current crisis walked away immensely rich from the bonuses they earned in the good years, even though the high-risk strategies that led to those bonuses eventually decimated their companies, taking down a large part of the financial system in the process.

You can be good even if you can’t be great

Populism is exactly what economy needs Krugman continued from 8 The Federal Reserve, awakened from its Greenspan-era slumber, understands this problem — and proposes doing something about it. According to recent reports, the Fed’s board is considering imposing new rules on financial-firm compensation, requiring that banks “claw back” bonuses in the face of losses and link pay to long-term rather than shortterm performance. The Fed argues that it has the authority to do this as part of its general mandate to oversee banks’ soundness. But the industry — supported by nearly all Republicans and some Democrats — will fight bitterly against these changes. And while the administration will support some kind of compensation reform, it’s not clear whether it will fully support the Fed’s efforts.

I was startled last week when Obama, in an interview with Bloomberg News, questioned the case for limiting financialsector pay: “Why is it,” he asked, “that we’re going to cap executive compensation for Wall Street bankers but not Silicon Valley entrepreneurs or NFL football players?” That’s an astonishing remark — and not just because the National Football League does, in fact, have pay caps. Tech firms don’t crash the whole world’s operating system when they go bankrupt; quarterbacks who make too many risky passes don’t have to be rescued with hundred-billion-dollar bailouts. Banking is a special case — and the president is surely smart enough to know that. All I can think is that this was another example of something we’ve seen before: Obama’s visceral reluctance to engage in anything that

resembles populist rhetoric. And that’s something he needs to get over. It’s not just that taking a populist stance on bankers’ pay is good politics — although it is: The administration has suffered more than it seems to realize from the perception that it’s giving taxpayers’ hard-earned money away to Wall Street, and it should welcome the chance to portray the GOP as the party of obscene bonuses. Equally important, in this case populism is good economics. Indeed, you can make the case that reforming bankers’ compensation is the single best thing we can do to prevent another financial crisis a few years down the road. It’s time for the president to realize that sometimes populism, especially populism that makes bankers angry, is exactly what the economy needs.

tiatives often lacked a constituency outside the White House: his AIDS-in-Africa program; his insistence, vindicated by subsequent scientific breakthroughs, on seeking alternatives to embryo-destroying research; his failed second-term proposals for Social Security and tax reform. And perhaps his best decisions, on the surge and the bailout, were made from the bunker of a seemingly ruined presidency — when his approval ratings had bottomed out, his credibility was exhausted and his allies had abandoned him. This is not a blueprint that future presidents will want to follow. But the next time an Oval Office occupant sees his popularity dissolve and his ambitions turn to dust, he can take comfort from Bush’s example. It suggests that it’s possible to become a good president even — or especially — when you can no longer hope to be a great one.

��

On economic matters, he resembles Herbert Hoover — but only if Hoover, after presiding over the stock market crash of 1929, had engineered an economic response that nipped the Great Depression in the bud. It’s true that Bush didn’t personally formulate the surge or craft the bailout. But he was, well, the decider, and if he takes the blame — rightly — for what Donald Rumsfeld wrought, then he should get credit for Gen. David Petraeus’ successes in Iraq and for blessing the sweeping decisions that Hank Paulson and Ben Bernanke made in last September’s desperate weeks. And if we give Bush credit on these fronts, it’s worth reassessing one of the major critiques of his presidency — that it was fatally insulated, by ideology and personality, from the wisdom of the Washington elite and the desires of the

broader public. In reality, many of the Bushera ventures that look worst in hindsight were either popular with the public at the time or blessed by the elite consensus. Voters liked the budget-busting tax cuts and entitlement expansions. The Iraq war’s cheering section included prominent Democrats and scores of liberal pundits. And save for a few prescient souls, everybody — right and left, on Wall Street and Main Street — was happy to board the real-estate express and ride it off an economic cliff. Bush-era bipartisanship did produce some defensible legislation (No Child Left Behind, for instance). But more often, it produced travesties such as the failed attempt at “comprehensive” immigration reform, lobbyist feeding frenzies such as the 2005 energy bill and boondoggles like the Department of Homeland Security. By contrast, Bush’s best ini-

STEAMBOAT TODAY

News in brief Man injured in downtown fight early Sunday morning A man who was reportedly knocked unconscious in a fight in downtown Steamboat Springs early Sunday morning decided not to press charges in the incident, police said. Steamboat Springs Police Department Capt. Joel Rae said a 30-year-old Eagle man was knocked out during an altercation in an alley in the 600 block of Lincoln Avenue. The unnamed man and a friend became separated during the course of the evening. After the fight, the man called his friend, who loaded him into a car to take him to the hospital. Police pulled over the car at Ninth and Oak streets. Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue medical crews then took the man to Yampa Valley Medical Center. The man was conscious when medical crews arrived.

Rae said the man suffered a cut to his forehead and a bruise under his right eye. The man was interviewed at the hospital and reportedly said he did not remember what had happened and that he did not want to press charges. The man was taken to detox after he was released from the hospital, Rae said.

Arts Council firming up details for new theater, music, film events ARTS BRIEFS

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The Steamboat Springs Arts Council is starting to fill in a variety of performances on its calendar with a CD release party by local band Trouble or Nothing last week and a fall film series beginning Friday. Working with the Arts Council’s board of directors — which also supports a visual arts committee responsible for gallery shows and art programming — the group’s performing arts committee is in the process of scheduling music, theater, film and more, Arts Council

President Kelly Anzalone said. “Local Color,” a movie based on the life of plein air painter Nicoli Seroff, is the first screening of a threepart, art-themed fall film series. The screening is at 7 p.m. Friday at the Depot Art Center. Admission is free for Arts Council members and $5 for nonmembers. A screening of “Frida” is Oct. 16, and a screening of “Basquiat” is Nov. 13. Michael Brumbaugh and Steamboat Players present a production of “Kimberly

Akimbo,” a dark comedy about a 16-year-old girl trapped in a 65-year-old body Oct. 23 to 25 at the Depot.

CELESTIAL NEWS

Jimmy Westlake Equinox is a word that means “equal night” and is used to describe these two special days of the year when every location on Earth experiences exactly 12 hours of sunshine and 12 hours of darkness, and the sun rises exactly in the east and sets exactly in the west. The equinoxes have been revered by many cultures throughout the course of history. The ancient Druids went to great lengths to align the gigantic stones at Stonehenge

to point out the position of the rising sun on the dates of the equinoxes and solstices. The Great Sphinx of Egypt also faces the direction of the rising sun on the date of the equinox. A coincidence? Probably not. You might have noticed recently that the sun is rising later in the morning and setting earlier in the evening than it did in mid-summer, and if you are very observant, you might have also noticed that it is rising and setting much farther to the south than it was in mid-summer. Here in the northern hemisphere, we have just enjoyed six months of long, sun-filled days. Now it’s the southern hemisphere’s turn. With each passing day, the noontime sun will sink lower and lower in our sky from now until the winter solstice Dec. 21. Then, it will begin moving northward

again and cross the equator on the vernal equinox, March 21, bringing spring with it. Oh, and one more thing — that business about balancing an egg on its end on the day of the equinox? It’s only a myth. You can just as easily balance that egg on any day of the year. But don’t take my word for it. Give it a try and see for yourself. Happy equinox. Jimmy Westlake teaches astronomy and physics at Colorado Mountain College’s Alpine Campus. He is an avid astronomer whose photographs and articles have been published all around the world. His “Celestial News” column appears weekly in the Steamboat Pilot & Today newspaper. Check out Jimmy’s Web site at www. jwestlake.com.

Organizers hope to offer $500 scholarship Tour de Forks continued from 11 in advance at the Steamboat Springs Visitor Center and All That Jazz. Event organizers hope to raise enough money from wristband sales to offer a $500 scholarship to a high school senior who is planning to continue his or her education, Coates said. Young Professionals Network — a community development program open to all ages and targeted to Routt County residents ages 21 to 40 — got started in late April and holds monthly speaker events and networking opportunities. The group’s philanthropic committee organized Tour de Forks.

Philanthropic committee members knew they wanted to do a scholarship project, but they wanted to offer an event that hadn’t been done before, said Marion Ayer, human resources and finance director for the Chamber. “It’s something that you can do and be social, but it doesn’t cost a ton of money for you to go do,” Ayer said. “You can buy a wristband for $10 and get great deals with the support of our restaurant community.” YPN also has a “fresh air” committee for arts, recreation and culture; a group for events and networking; and a group focused on professional development. Registration for YPN is

$35 for the rest of the year and is always open, said Molly Killien, media and public relations manager for the Chamber. “I think what’s really important to point out is that they’re from all sectors of the community,” Killien said about the YPN membership. “It’s a very diverse group; it’s a very fun group, and we couldn’t be happier with how it’s been accepted by the community.” The next YPN event is a panel discussion with former members of the Steamboat Springs City Council. The talk is from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Artists’ Gallery of Steamboat. Admission is free for YPN members and $10 for guests.

he season of autumn officially arrives for the northern hemisphere at 3:22 p.m. today. How do astronomers determine the precise moment the season begins? Fall begins the instant the sun crosses the equator on its way south. Thanks to the 23.5-degree tilt of the Earth’s axis of rotation, the sun spends half of the year shining directly onto the northern hemisphere and the other half of the year shining directly onto the southern hemisphere. It reaches its highest point in our sky June 21 — the summer solstice — and its lowest point Dec. 21 — the winter solstice. Separating these two extremes are two days during the year called the equinoxes — six months apart — when the sun shines directly down on the Earth’s equator.

Schlapkohl: This time, I have no fears Shane Gilbert. In a Steamboat Pilot & Today article published in March 2007, Gilbert said her goal was to go beyond building an orphanage outside Kampala, Uganda. She also sought to implement sustainable economic initiatives that would support families and generate a revenue stream for aid efforts. Schlapkohl, now a hairstylist in Steamboat, met Gilbert when Gilbert was the leader of a Young Life class while Schlapkohl was still in high school. She came to regard Gilbert as a mentor. “She’s the kind of person who acts on her dreams,” Schlapkohl said. Schlapkohl, who graduated from Steamboat Springs High School in 2005, made her first three-week trip to Uganda with Sara Bradt and Robin Crossan. “The first time I went, I was terrified at first. I’d seen movies like ‘Blood Diamond’ and ‘The Last King of Scotland.’” She quickly learned that “three weeks was just not long enough” to make a difference in the little village of Nansana. “This time, I have no fears,” Schlapkohl said. She’ll be accompanied on the long airplane flight Sept. 30, first to London’s Heathrow Airport, and then directly on to Kampala, by Steamboat teen Cassie Shelver, 17. “We’re gong to spend a lot of time brainstorming ways to establish a medical budget for the orphanage,” Schlapkohl said.

The performing arts committee is Anzalone, fellow board members Katy Kriz and Holly Nelson, and a rotating group of local performers. Some future events at the Depot Art Center will be on a modular stage Anzalone is constructing. The stage will be

stored when it’s not in use, and it is designed to fit in any part of the Depot’s baggage room, Anzalone said. In addition to pairing the art on display in the Depot with events there, the performing arts committee also hopes to give direction and fundraising to an effort to build a permanent presence for the performing arts in Steamboat Springs, Anzalone said. A portion of the proceeds from each performing arts committee event will go toward a fund for a new, community-oriented venue, he said.

Moffat County receives $20.6M in recovery funds Collin Smith

CRAIG DAILY PRESS

CRAIG

Moffat County groups and organizations have received more than $20.6 million in federal recovery funds since the program began in February. State officials from Gov. Bill Ritter’s recovery team hosted their first of two meetings in Northwest Colorado on Monday afternoon at the First Congregational United Church of Christ in Craig. Recovery team director Mark Cavanaugh spent about 30 min-

utes detailing recovery spending at the state and regional levels before taking questions from an audience of four people, two of whom were Kate Nowak, Yampa Valley Partners executive director, and Jay Fetcher, who works for Colorado Sen. Mark Udall. All together, Moffat County had roughly one-third of all recovery spending in a six-county Northwest Colorado region that also encompassed Routt, Rio Blanco, Grand, Jackson and Garfield counties. The vast majority of recovery spending in Moffat County went to Department of Interior spending on national parks, including $1.2 million

to the Browns Park National Wildlife Refuge, $150,000 to repair boat ramps and buildings in Dinosaur National Monument, and $13.1 million to build a new Monument visitor center. The second biggest spending allocation in Moffat County was $3.8 million from the Department of Energy to fund a carbon sequestration research study in the mountains north of Hamilton. Moffat County School District received $774,375 in recovery funds, some of which went to programs for disabled and preschool students, as well as some funding for school lunches.

About $408,000 went toward extending unemployment insurance coverage for out-of-work residents and adding a $25 a week bonus to individual unemployment payments in Moffat County. The Craig Police Department also received $20,311, which it used for new equipment, and the Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association received $298,195 to remodel its clinic space and build more exam rooms. In addition to money directly spent in Moffat County, the VNA received $130,378 to fund a new medical practitioner, a new medical assistant and extra hours for Spanish interpret-

ers, which the organization can spread across the different communities it serves. Officials also have allocated $356,014 for weatherization projects for low-income residents, who can apply for a free custom energy audit of their home to determine whether new insulation or appliances, or a number of other options, would improve the home’s energy efficiency. Residents qualify for the program if they are enrolled in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families programs, Old Age Pension, Supplemental Security Income, Medicaid or the Low Income Energy Assistance Program.

Prindle: Mowatt not likely to be federally prosecuted Mowatt continued from 6

District Judge Shelly Hill accepted the plea agreement arranged by Goldstein, Mowatt and Deputy District Attorney Rusty Prindle, noting that Mowatt expressed regret during the process. During the sentencing, Mowatt said, “I’d like to apologize for what I did. I’d still like to work with the law, and I’m thankful for what the court did for me.” Prindle said Mowatt is not likely to be prosecuted at the

federal level because of his relatively minor involvement and his willingness to cooperate with authorities. Mowatt also had no criminal history before this arrest, Goldstein said. Only one of the cards Mowatt was accused of stealing was used illegally, Goldstein said, and that attempted theft was thwarted by an online retailer. Mowatt spent 81 days in jail after being arrested on Mackinac Island, Mich., in early July. As a Jamaican citizen in the United States on a worker visa, Mowatt may now be deported by federal

Terrorism warning issued

Counterterrorism officials: Mass transit systems at risk P. Solomon Banda and Steven K. Paulson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

Counterterrorism officials are warning mass transit systems around the nation to step up patrols because of fears an Afghanistan-born immigrant under arrest in Colorado may have been plotting with others to detonate backpack bombs aboard New York City trains. Investigators say Najibullah Zazi, a 24-year-old shuttle van driver at the Denver airport, played a direct role in a terror plot that unraveled during a trip to New York City around the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. He made his first court appearance Monday and remained behind bars. Zazi and two other defendants have not been charged with any terrorism counts, only the relatively minor offense of lying to the government. But the

case could grow to include more serious charges as the investigation proceeds. Zazi has publicly denied being involved in a terror plot, and defense lawyer Arthur Folsom dismissed as “rumor” any notion that his client played a crucial role. Publicly, law enforcement officials repeatedly have said they are unaware of a specific time or target for any attacks. Privately, officials speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case said investigators have worried most about the possible use of backpack bombs on New York City trains, similar to attacks carried out in London and Madrid. The investigation into Zazi’s role and how many others may be involved was ongoing. Two law enforcement officials speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss details of the investigation told The

Associated Press late Monday that more than a half-dozen individuals were being scrutinized in the alleged plot. The FBI said in a statement that “several individuals in the United States, Pakistan and elsewhere” were being investigated. Backpacks and cell phones were seized last week from apartments in Queens where Zazi visited. In a bulletin issued Friday, the FBI and Homeland Security Department warned that improvised explosive devices are the most common tactic to blow up railroads and other mass transit systems overseas. And they noted incidents in which bombs were made with peroxide. In the bulletin, obtained by The Associated Press, officials recommended that transit systems conduct random sweeps at terminals and stations and that law enforcement make random patrols and board some trains and buses.

Lawmakers get more bad budget news Gov. Bill Ritter promises more cuts as revenues continue to fall THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter promised Monday to move quickly to make more cuts to the state budget after analysts said revenues have fallen more than expected. Ritter said he will ask state agencies to recommend even deeper cuts than the $318 million he previously ordered. Ritter Analysts said the state will have to cut another $240 million from the budget for the current fiscal year that ends June 30. The state already has cut $1.8 billion and reduced spending by

10.4 percent, Ritter said, promising to try to be thoughtful and compassionate with the new round of cutbacks. “But we need to be realistic. Every cut we make will cause some pain. Every cut we make will hurt,” he said. Colorado lawmakers warned that state government might have to raise fees and taxes and eliminate some tax breaks unless revenues improve dramatically. They also said the $99 million homestead exemption for seniors probably will be suspended again, higher education will face more cuts, and state workers will be forced to take more furlough days. The state already is closing hospitals and offering early parole to inmates as part of

the previous cuts ordered by Ritter. “We are in a place where every cut is a bad one,” said Sen. Moe Keller, D-Wheat Ridge, who chairs the Joint Budget Committee that sets state spending priorities. Analysts said general fund revenue is expected to increase 6.4 percent in the next fiscal year beginning July 1, as the wobbly economy slowly recovers. But without a permanent fix, they warned lawmakers may have to cut another $1.3 billion from next year’s budget. Consumers are spending less, commercial real estate values are down, and more people are out of work because of the recession, budget analysts told the Legislature’s Joint Budget Committee.

1st Chase race sets stage for exciting title hunt

Colts on fire when it counts

Jenna Fryer

Indianapolis tops Miami, 27-23

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARLOTTE, N.C.

If the first round of the Chase for the championship is any indication, NASCAR is in for a doozy of a title race. That practice of riding around for a few hundred miles in cruise control before turning it up at the end of the race? There’s clearly no time for that now. The contenders went allout from the drop of the green flag Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, where they were racing three-wide early and gambling on pit strategy to pick up every possible position. The result was an entertaining race that saw Chase drivers take the top four spots and 10 of the top 15. “I think everyone panics,” said second-place finisher Denny Hamlin. “When you see at the beginning of the race the top 10, and they’re all Chase guys, you’re like, ‘Man, I’ve got to fight for every position I can.’ Every hole that you see on the race track, you immediately go for. “Everyone is just jumping at every opportunity that they can, and that’s why you see the three wide. Everyone is just trying to make up all the spots they can, and a lot of it has to do with the excitement of the start of the Chase.” It made for a great opening race, which was won by sentimental favorite Mark Martin in a three-lap sprint to the finish. He used pit strategy to take the lead, then schooled Juan Pablo Montoya with a veteran move that took the former Formula One driver by surprise. Martin and Montoya share a tremendous amount of respect for each other, and Montoya has consulted Martin numerous times during his transition to stock cars on NASCAR etiquette and how to race different tracks. Despite the many tips Martin has given him, Montoya never expected Martin to pull in See NASCAR, page 21

Denver Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil sacks Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn for the fourth time during second-half action at Invesco Field on Sunday in Denver.

Inheriting a Denver Broncos defense in complete disarray, Josh McDaniels decided to junk it soon after taking over as head coach. No patches, salvage jobs or quick fixes, just throw the scheme out and start over. “We just said, ‘All right, we’re going in that direction regardless,”’ McDaniels explained Monday. Now, the Broncos defense is back on the road to respect-

ability. The unit is among the league leaders in points allowed (6.5) and yards per game (253.5). “We’ve done some good things, but we’ve also made some mistakes we need to fix,” McDaniels said. “There’s a learning curve, certainly.” But it’s already a far cry from years past. The defense under Mike Shanahan had become a detriment, ultimately costing him his job. When McDaniels came in, the first thing he did was give that side of the ball a complete makeover. He hired Mike

Nolan as defensive coordinator and — after studying the players he had on the roster — implemented a new 3-4 formation. Then they brought in the pieces that could make the scheme work, players like linebacker Andra Davis and stout defensive linemen such as Ronald Fields, Le Kevin Smith and the recently signed Vonnie Holliday. Davis has been an instant fit, keeping things under control in the middle. He leads the See Broncos, page 21

Peyton Manning spent most of the night on the sideline and just enough time reaching the end zone. The Indianapolis Colts had the ball for less than 15 minutes, but Manning made the most of his chances, helping his team come from behind four times to beat the Manning Miami Dolphins, 27-23, on Monday night. Manning threw touchdown passes of 80 yards to Dallas Clark and 48 yards to Pierre Garcon. The first score came on the first play from scrimmage, the latter with 3:18 left for the game’s final points. “It was about being efficient when it counted, in the fourth quarter,” Manning said. “That’s really what the game’s about.” While the Miami Dolphins’ celebrities were making a Hollywood-style grand entrance, Manning slipped in a side door and stole the show. The Dolphins rolled out an orange carpet for the pregame arrival of new owner Stephen Ross’ celebrity partners. The crowd included Serena and Venus Williams, Gloria and Emilio Estefan, Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez, Jimmy Buffett and Colts rooter Tiger Woods. But Manning was the big star. He finished 14 for 23 for 303 yards, and the Colts improved to 2-0. The Dolphins fell to 0-2 even though they had 239 yards rushing, including 107 with the wildcat. The Colts had the ball for only 14:53, the lowest time of possession for a winning team in the NFL since 1977. They ran 35 plays to 84 for the Dolphins.

Veterans playing big role in resurgent D team with 19 tackles, including 10 in a win against his former team, the Cleveland Browns, on Sunday. “He studies as much or more than anybody else on our team,” McDaniels said. “He does a great job of showing our younger players how to practice, how to prepare.” Elvis Dumervil certainly is taking note. He’s also starting to adapt to his new responsibilities. And to think he wasn’t sure if he would. A defensive lineman all his life, Dumervil initially balked at becoming an outside linebacker

in this system. Something clicked Sunday as Dumervil tied a team record with four sacks. “I still have a lot to learn,” Dumervil said. “But I feel like I am going in the right direction.” With his leverage and long arms, Dumervil presents problems for offensive linemen. He blitzed right by the Browns, pressuring Brady Quinn all afternoon. He also stripped the ball from Joshua Cribbs on a short pass. “He’s just a relentless pass rusher,” Champ Bailey said. “He’s one of the best I’ve seen, and I’ve played with some great

ones. He never stops; his motor is always going. Boy, if they held the ball for one second too long, he was there.” The Broncos’ revamped secondary certainly gave the defensive line plenty of time to pursue Quinn, keeping close tabs on Cleveland’s receivers. In Nolan’s opinion, that experienced secondary is a big reason the Broncos are off to a 2-0 start. But that’s why the Broncos brought in the group of grizzled veterans. The thirtysomethings include Brian Dawkins, 35, Andre’ Goodman, 31, and Renaldo Hill, 30, who join Bailey to form quite a defensive backfield.

Race gave NASCAR the buzz that it needs NASCAR continued from 20 front of him on the second of the last three laps and slow his momentum all the way to what Montoya considered a stop. “He always runs very clean, so I was kind of surprised when he did that,” Montoya said. “I think you’ve got to do it to somebody that you trust is not going to knock you out because I think if I would have done — if the second place guy wasn’t me — I think somebody else would have been a little bit more aggressive. But you learn from it. “It’s one of those deals that

you’ve got to do what it takes, and he did.” Martin, who has repeatedly declared himself one of the world’s biggest Montoya fans, said he knew the Colombian would race clean at the end and any contact would be a mistake made by Montoya. “I know that he’s racing for his first oval track win, but I knew he wouldn’t slip on purpose,” Martin said. “I gave him the respect from Day 1 on the race track. I thought that he would do the right thing, and if it didn’t turn out to be the right thing, I think it would have been

a mistake, not something that he was going to do to try to knock me out of the way or something to get the win. And he could count on the same from me.” It was clean, intense racing and it gave NASCAR the buzz it needs in a season of sponsor struggles and ratings challenges. A grueling 36-race schedule makes it difficult for the sport to sustain any momentum for long stretches of the season, and it counts on its Chase to liven things up when NASCAR goes head-to-head each weekend with the NFL and college football.

Joe Saunders pitched into the ninth inning and Los Angeles prevented New York from wrapping up a playoff spot with a 5-2 victory Monday night in a matchup of division leaders. Vladimir Guerrero and Torii Hunter hit consecutive RBI doubles off Yankees starter Andy Pettitte, and Kendry Morales added a pinch-hit homer. The Angels reduced their magic number to six for clinching their third consecutive American League West title. The Yankees, who have dropped six of 10, could have secured a postseason spot with a win or a Texas loss at Oakland. The

Rangers beat the Athletics, 10-3. Los Angeles has won four of five and remained a season-best 7 1/2 games ahead of Texas.

Rangers 10, Athletics 3 OAKLAND, CALIF.

David Murphy had three hits and drove in two runs to help Texas hang on to its slim playoff hopes. Julio Borbon and Chris Davis both drove in two runs as the Rangers won for the second time in eight games, moving within seven games of the Boston Red Sox, who lost, 12-9, to Kansas City, in the AL wild card. Kevin Millwood (11-10) did not allow an earned run in

seven innings. He gave up a run and three hits, walking one and striking out two.

Twins 7, White Sox 0 CHICAGO

Nick Blackburn pitched seven innings and Orlando Cabrera had two RBIs and scored three runs to lead Minnesota.

Royals 12, Red Sox 9 KANSAS CITY, MO.

Mike Jacobs hit a three-run homer and Alberto Callaspo’s

two-run double keyed Kansas City’s biggest inning in almost a year. After falling behind 6-0 in the third and 8-2 in the fifth, the Royals took an 11-9 lead with six runs in the sixth, the most they have scored in one inning since Sept. 24, 2008.

Blue Jays 9, Orioles 2 TORONTO

Lyle Overbay and John McDonald homered, and David Purcey won for the first time in more than a year as Toronto handed Baltimore its fifth straight loss. Adam Lind, Edwin Encarnacion and Travis Snider each hit a two-run single for the Blue Jays, who batted around in the third and eighth.

US clout fading among G-20 Census: Recession Obama to push for economic changes for member countries has sweeping affect THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

With trillion-dollar deficits and a weakening dollar, the United States doesn’t have the clout it once had at economic summits. Now Germany, France and all the new kids at the table — countries like China and Brazil — are pushing their own issues. As the global crisis eases and nations are no longer gripped by fear, President Barack Obama faces major problems in shaping an outcome that will convince U.S. voters that they will see benefits from discussions Thursday

and Friday in Pittsburgh. Obama is pushing the Group of 20 leading industrial nations to make sweeping changes in how they run Obama their economies in the years ahead. The goal is to combat the dangerous imbalances that many think sowed the seeds of the recent financial crisis and severe global downturn. The initiative would require chronic trade deficit nations like the United States to boost their savings rates to consume fewer imports and for trade surplus countries like China to get their

consumers to spend more and rely less on export-led growth. “We can’t go back to an era where the Chinese or the Germans or other countries just are selling everything to us, we’re taking out a bunch of credit card debt or home equity loans, but we’re not selling them anything,” Obama said during a CNN interview broadcast Sunday. Americans’ personal savings rate has been rising during the current hard times as households cut back on spending, but the problem is that the U.S. budget deficit has been soaring, raising alarm bells in countries such as China, the largest foreign holder of U.S. government debt.

Hope Yen

WASHINGTON

The recession is profoundly disrupting American life: More people are delaying marriage and home-buying, turning to carpools yet getting stuck in ever-worse traffic, staying put rather than moving to new cities. A broad array of U.S. census data, for release today, also shows a dip in the foreign-born population last year, to less than 38 million after it reached an alltime high in 2007. This was due to declines in low-skilled workers from Mexico searching for jobs in Arizona, Florida and California. Health coverage swung widely by region, based partly on levels of unemployment. Massachusetts, with its universal coverage law, had fewer than one in 20 uninsured residents — the lowest in the nation. Texas had the highest share, at one in four, largely because of illegal Hispanic immigrants excluded from government-sponsored and employerprovided plans. Demographers said the latest figures were striking confirmation of the social impact of the economic decline as it hit home in 2008. Findings come from the

1 swine flu shot enough for older children Lauran Neergaard THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

Studies of the new swine flu vaccine show children 10 and older will need just one shot for protection — but younger kids almost certainly will need two. Protection kicks in for older children within eight to 10 days of the shot, just like it does for adults, the National Institutes of Health announced Monday.

But younger children aren’t having nearly as robust an immune reaction to the swine flu vaccine, and it appears they’ll need two shots 21 days apart, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease. That’s not a surprise, since the very young often need two doses of vaccine against regular winter flu the very first time they’re immunized against that version of influenza, too, Fauci stressed.

|||||

“This is acting strikingly similar to seasonal flu” vaccine, Fauci said. “Overall, this is very good news for the vaccination program.” It means that most people in the U.S. will have to line up for influenza vaccinations twice this year instead of three times — once for the regular winter flu shot and a second time to be inoculated against swine flu, what doctors call the 2009 H1N1 strain.

annual American Community Survey, a sweeping look at life built on information from 3 million households. Preliminary data earlier this year found that many Americans were not moving, staying put in big cities rather than migrating to the Sunbelt because of frozen lines of credit. Mobility is at a 60-year low, upending population trends ahead of the 2010 census that will be used to apportion House seats. “The recession has affected everybody in one way or another as families use lots of different strategies to cope with a new economic reality,” said Mark Mather, associate vice president of the nonprofit Population Reference Bureau. “Job loss — or the potential for job loss — also leads to feelings of economic insecurity and can create social tension.” “It’s just the tip of the iceberg,” he said, noting that unemployment still is rising. The percentage of people who drove alone to work dropped last year to 75.5 percent, the lowest in a decade, as commuters grew weary of paying close to $4 a gallon for gasoline and opted to carpool or take public transportation.

The White House is considering expanding counterterror operations in Pakistan to refocus on eliminating al-Qaida instead of mounting a major military escalation in Afghanistan. Two senior administration officials said Monday that the renewed fight against the terrorist organization could lead to more missile attacks on Pakistan terrorist havens by unmanned U.S. spy planes. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because no decisions have been made. Top aides to President Barack

Obama said he still has questions and wants more time to decide. The officials said the administration would push ahead with the ground mission in Afghanistan for the near future, still leaving the door open for sending more U.S. troops. But Obama’s top advisers, including Vice President Joe Biden, have indicated they are reluctant to send many more troops — if any at all — in the immediate future. In weekend interviews, Obama emphasized that disrupting alQaida is his “core goal” and worried aloud about “mission creep” that moved away from that direction. “If it starts drifting away from that goal, then we may have a problem,” he said. The proposed shift would bolster U.S. action on Obama’s long-stated goal of dismantling terrorist havens, but it could also complicate American relations with Pakistan, long wary of the growing use of aerial drones to target militants along the porous border with Afghanistan. The prospect of a White House alternative to a deepening involvement in the stalemated war in Afghanistan comes as

administration officials debate whether to send more troops — as urged in a blunt assessment of the deteriorating conflict by the top U.S. commander there, Gen. Stanley McChrystal. The two senior administration officials said Monday that one option would be to step up the use of missile-armed unmanned spy drones over Pakistan that have killed scores of militants during the past year. The armed drones could contain al-Qaida in a smaller, if more remote area, and keep its leaders from retreating back into Afghanistan, one of the officials said. Most U.S. military officials have preferred a classic counterinsurgency mission to keep alQaida out of Afghanistan by defeating the Taliban and securing the local population. However, one senior White House official said it’s not clear that the Taliban would welcome al-Qaida back into Afghanistan. The official noted that it was only after the 9/11 attacks that the United States invaded Afghanistan and deposed the Taliban in pursuit of al-Qaida.

Deposed President Manuel Zelaya made a dramatic return to Honduras’ capital Monday, taking shelter from arrest at Brazil’s embassy and calling for negotiations with the leaders who forced him from the country at gunpoint. The interim government initially ordered a 15-hour curfew but then extended it to a 26hour shutdown of the capital, but thousands of Zelaya supporters ignored the decree and remained outside the embassy, dancing and cheering. Others in the capital rushed home, lining up at bus stands and frantically looking for taxis. Electricity was cut off for hours at a time on the block housing the embassy and in areas of Tegucigalpa where news media offices are located — something that happened the day of the coup that ousted the leftist leader. Security Vice Minister Mario Perdomo said checkpoints were being set up on highways leading to the capital to keep out Zelaya’s supporters from other regions, to “stop those people coming to start trouble.” Later, Defense Minister Lionel Sevilla said all flights to Tegucigalpa

had been suspended indefinitely. Without giving any specifics, Zelaya said he snuck into the country by traveling for 15 hours over land in a series of vehicles — pulling off a homecoming that created a sharp new challenge for the interim government that had threatened repeatedly to throw him in jail if he returned. Chants of “Yes we could! Yes we could!” bellowed from the crowd outside the Brazilian Embassy. Zelaya told The Associated Press that he was trying to establish contact with the interim government to start negotiations on a solution to the standoff that started when soldiers flew him out of the country June 28. “As of now, we are beginning to seek dialogue,” he said by telephone, though he gave few details. Talks moderated by Costa Rican President Oscar Arias have been stalled for weeks because of the interim government’s refusal to accept Zelaya’s reinstatement. He also summoned his countrymen to come to the capital for peaceful protests and urged the army to avoid attacking his supporters. “It is the moment of reconciliation,” he said.
