But local officials said Wednesday that they won’t completely avoid sharing in the pain, especially as state revenue forecasts continue to show shortfalls. On Monday, the nonpartisan Colorado Legislative Council released its September revenue forecast, which showed a $560.7 million shortfall in the state’s 2009-10 budget. The shortfall

is $240.7 million higher than a $320 million shortfall previously forecast and addressed by Gov. Bill Ritter. The state is facing a combined $1.3 billion shortage this fiscal year and next. It is not clear how the state will attend to the additional deficits announced Monday, but local agencies are bracing for hits. The city of Steamboat Springs and Routt County may abandon plans for a firearms training facility if scheduled grant awards continue to be canceled.

“If there is no grant round, then that project is really not going to go anywhere,” city grant writer Winnie DelliQuadri said.

Kindergartners Courtney Vargas, front, and Asad Khabibullaev play on the new climbing wall Wednesday afternoon at Soda Creek Elementary School.

After about two years of work that included almost $1 million in fundraising and help from more than 500 volunteers, the universal playgrounds at Strawberry Park and Soda Creek elementary schools are complete. Representatives from the Parent-Teacher Information Committees at both schools, Steamboat Springs Rotary Club and Let’s All Play — the group that organized and fundraised for the projects — will dedicate the playgrounds at 5:30 p.m. today at Strawberry Park. “We wanted to be able to thank all the volunteers who came out, dedicate the playgrounds and give them to the kids and say ‘This is a gift for you,’” said Shelly St. Pierre, cochairwoman of Let’s All Play.

St. Pierre added that the groups will be thanking those who helped build “playgrounds of this caliber in a community this small.” The process began in late 2007, St. Pierre said. She and Julie Taulman, the other cochairwoman for Let’s All Play, identified a need for playgrounds that were accessible for all children, including those with disabilities. St. Pierre added that a plan didn’t exist for a playground at the new Soda Creek school, and the more than 20year-old wooden playground at Strawberry Park was deteriorating and being dismantled piece by piece. After approval by the Steamboat Springs School District in early 2008, Let’s All Play began fundraising for the playgrounds. The group raised about $950,000 through contributions from the Education

First Impressions forum addresses early childhood education Jack Weinstein

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Candidates for local positions discussed their thoughts Wednesday about government’s role in early childhood care and education. All seven candidates for seats on the Steamboat Springs City Council, all three for the Steamboat Springs School Board and one candidate for the Hayden School Board appeared at an afternoon forum at the Routt County Courthouse, hosted by the child advocacy group First Impressions of Routt County. Each candidate answered the same question: Colorado ranks toward the bottom of the list for state funding of early childhood care and education programs. What should the role of local government be when it comes to these programs? The candidates’ answers were very supportive of early childhood care and education, First Impressions and local government’s role in assisting those programs. Many cited their experience with local programs, having sent their children to Steamboat day-care facilities. Some offered examples of past support as members of local government entities or boards. Former City Council President Kevin Bennett, who’s opposing atlarge council member Cari Hermacinski for the District 1 seat, said he supported First Impressions as a council member in 1998, and would continue if re-elected. “I can think of nothing that is more important to this community than the First Impressions program,” he said. Hermacinski said she would

draw on her experience as a council member for the past two years and as a member of the city’s Human Resource Coalition, which dedicates city funding to human services organizations in Routt County. “I’d like to see all children participate in (early childhood programs), no matter what their family’s financial situation may be,” Hermacinski said, citing the developmental importance of a child’s first years. Walter Magill, who is running unopposed as an incumbent in City Council District 3, said recognition of early childhood development is growing. “In 1970, 17 percent of children ages 3 to 5 went to full-day kindergarten. In 2005, it was 65 percent of children,” he said. “That’s because of working, single-parent families or both parents working, but also because people realize how much education takes place in those programs.”

At-large council seat City Council candidate Kyle

Pietras, who is running against former City Council member Jim Engelken, said research indicates that children who start behind, stay behind. “Quality early education programs give them the social, language and a number of skills that they need,” Pietras said. “Early education prepares children, especially at-risk children for school. … Children who get a better start are less likely to need expensive special ed. They’re more likely to graduate, go to college, get jobs and repeat this process with their own families.” Engelken said he would listen to First Impressions if elected — and then turned the topic to another contentious campaign issue. “I would look to you folks to tell us what should be done in addition to what is being done. I’d be happy to hear about that,” he said to early childhood professionals at the forum. “What I can tell you is I would be far See Forum, page 13

Mixed media artist Lelija Roy expects most anyone driving from Denver to Steamboat Springs this time of year to be wowed by the changing aspen trees. But she doesn’t expect anyone to stop and feel the texture of the bark. That’s where her collection of paintings and mixed media pieces depicting aspens comes in. “Aspen Spaces” is one of several series of pieces made from acrylic paint and found materials that show the texture aspen bark takes on from being nibbled by elk, for example. A show featuring “Aspen Spaces” goes on display Friday at K. Saari Gallery; an opening reception for the show is from 5 to 8 p.m. Oct. 2, during First Friday Artwalk. Roy uses rice paper, fabrics, glass beads, marble dust and anything else that appeals to her eye to add texture to the works. “Everything is fair game if I pick up something and I like

Lelija Roy stands next to one of her pieces, “Aspen Sonnet,” which will be on display at the K. Saari Gallery in downtown Steamboat Springs.

going to the aspen grove about every two months,” Roy said. Each time she went back, she saw a different color palette. “What kept coming back to me was this is a different music at every time of year,” she said. See Exhibit, page 12

HAYDEN

About 20 band students from Hayden’s high school and middle school crowded closely around Indian musician Sandip Burman on Wednesday morning as he played the sitar. “You liking it?” he asked. “You enjoying it?” As if in a trance, the students nodded their heads forward as Burman continued to strum the 20-string instrument that looks like, and is played similar to, a guitar. Burman, a native of Durgapur, West Bengal, India, stopped in Hayden as part of a nationwide tour that includes performances and classes with students. Burman said his school stops allow him to share his Eastern classical music with students, teach them about his instruments and help pique their excitement to become better musicians. As he played the sitar, and later, a tabla — a percussion instrument for which Burman is best known — he taught the students a variation of the eightnote scale commonly found in Western music that the band students were familiar with. Intense at times, Burman also encouraged and joked with the students.

COMMENTARY

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

Irving Kristol’s clear thinking Jonah Goldberg TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

“I am so nostalgic.” That’s the phrase I most associate with Irving Kristol, who died last week at age 89. What piqued Irving’s nostalgia, at an American Enterprise Institute conference I worked on in 1992, was old-fashioned censorship. In the good old days, he explained, local communities were able to determine their own standards without inviting lawsuits from the ACLU and overGoldberg wrought invocations of “Fahrenheit 451.” In fact, hanging a “Banned in Boston” banner in a bookstore window, he explained, was the surest way to sell that book in New York. Local censorship, tethered to common sense and grounded in community norms, gave communities a say in how

they would live. It made the world a more diverse, sane place. I’m not doing the argument justice, but what captured my attention was the calm, reasoned and even folksy way — for a New York Jewish intellectual — Kristol managed to slice through layers of liberal cant. I am a National Review guy, and William F. Buckley would be the first face etched on my American-conservative Mount Rushmore, but, aside from my father, no single person had a bigger impact on my political thinking than Kristol, whose funeral was Tuesday. The obituaries have focused on Irving’s role as the “godfather of neoconservatism” and the founder of the Public Interest. That is as it should be. From that perch, Kristol led a massive counteroffensive on what he called the “new class — statist intellectuals, lawyers, social workers, educators et al.” “Though they continue to speak the

language of Progressive reform,” Kristol wrote, “in actuality they are acting upon a hidden agenda: to propel the nation ... toward an economic system so stringently regulated in detail as to fulfill many of the traditional anti-capitalist aspirations of the Left.” Kristol’s formulation wasn’t entirely new. He expanded an argument made by such figures as economist Joseph Schumpeter and James Burnham, another Trotskyist turned conservative (and a founding editor of National Review). But two things set Kristol apart. The first is that he understood the new class intimately; he spoke its language and was from the same cultural milieu. The second is that he did something about it. Buckley said that the neocons’ greatest contribution to conservatism was “sociology.” The early National Review conservatism was more Aristotelian, Buckley See Goldberg, page 9

The hard and bitter truth Bob Herbert

THE NEW YORK TIMES

President Barack Obama is in the uncomfortable position of staring reality in the face in Afghanistan. Reality is not blinking. The president’s handpicked point man in the war zone, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, wants more troops and a steppedup commitment by the United States that would lock us into the conflict indefinitely, with nothing like an exit strategy in sight, Herbert or even a conception of what victory might look like. Obama himself has banged the war drums loudly, having already increased the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan and declaring just last month that the war is absolutely essential to American secu-

MALLARD FILLMORE

rity, that it “is fundamental to the defense of our people.” Among the many problems for the president on this front is the sobering fact that most ordinary Americans do not seem to agree. A recent Washington PostABC News poll found that 51 percent of respondents thought the war has not been worth its costs, and only 26 percent favored sending more troops. That does not bode well for an expensive and debilitating conflict that is about to enter its ninth year and would go on for untold years to come if the president decides to double down on America’s military commitment. Sen. John McCain gave us a compelling insight into these matters in a foreword that he wrote about Vietnam for David Halberstam’s book, “The Best and the Brightest”: “War is far too horrible a thing to drag out unnecessarily,” he said. “It was a shameful thing to ask men to suffer and

die, to persevere through god-awful afflictions and heartache, to endure the dehumanizing experiences that are unavoidable in combat, for a cause that the country wouldn’t support over time and that our leaders so wrongly believed could be achieved at a smaller cost than our enemy was prepared to make us pay. “No other national endeavor requires as much unshakable resolve as war. If the nation and the government lack that resolve, it is criminal to expect men in the field to carry it alone.” The only thing that needs to be updated about McCain’s comments is that we now regularly send women as well as men off to war. In the case of Afghanistan, we’re sending them off to fight and possibly die in support of a government that is incompetent and riddled with corruption and narcotics traffickers. We’re putting them in See Herbert, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

Kristol unleashed key social scientists Goldberg continued from 8 observed, while the neos brought the language of social science to the debate. National Review might first ask whether a government initiative was warranted under the Constitution or whether it violated some immutable moral law. The neocons were less abstract. “The legitimate question to ask about any program,” according to Kristol, “is, ‘Will it work?’” Starting at the height of LBJ’s Great Society, Kristol unleashed a cadre of America’s finest social scientists — James Q. Wilson, Seymour Martin Lipset, Charles Murray, Thomas Sowell, Stephan and Abigail Thernstrom to name a few — to ask that question, and the answers usually confirmed that the Aristotelians were right all along. (No wonder the “law of unintended conse-

quences” became the neocons’ motto.) Kristol argued that there were two basic orientations on the right: those who are anti-left and those who are anti-state. An antistatist would say the government shouldn’t be running the schools. The Kristolian would say public schools are fine; it’s what they teach that’s the problem. If anything, today’s conservatism is an imperfect fusion of these perspectives. Kristol himself became far more of a traditionalist, noting toward the end of his public life that the work of neoconservatism was largely done. There is a tendency among liberals to believe that the only good conservative is a dead conservative. They don’t wish violence on their opponents. Rather, once a prominent conservative dies — Goldwater, Reagan, Buckley and now Kristol — lib-

erals use their memory to bash living conservatives. “Why can’t you be more like those civil, high-brow types?” goes the refrain. That’s already begun with Irving. Liberal intellectuals sorrowfully ask what he would make of Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin and the tea partyers. My hunch is that the man who defended Joe McCarthy’s anti-communism (while detesting the man) and saw the evangelical Promise Keepers movement as a healthy sign of America’s moral restoration would offer qualified praise. After all, the singular neoconservative duty, Kristol wrote, was “to explain to the American people why they are right and to the intellectuals why they are wrong.” That’s the Irving Kristol I will always be nostalgic for.

Condition of the military is worn-down Herbert continued from 8 the field with Afghan forces that are ill trained, ill equipped and in all-too-many instances unwilling to fight with the courage and tenacity of the American forces. And we’re sending them off to engage in a mishmash of a mission that alternates incoherently between aggressively fighting insurgents and the admirable but unachievable task of nationbuilding in a society in which most Americans are clueless about the history, culture, politics and mores. In a confidential assessment of the war prepared for Obama, McChrystal wrote: “The weakness of state institutions, malign actions of power brokers, widespread corruption and abuse

of power by various officials and (the American-led NATO force’s) own errors have given Afghans little reason to support their government.” A friend of mine who lives in South Carolina sent me an e-mail about a young serviceman in civilian clothes whom she and her husband noticed as he talked on a public telephone in the Atlanta airport last week. He was 19 or 20 years old and thin. His clothes and his shoes were worn, my friend said, but the thing she noticed most “was the sadness in his eyes.” My friend recalled him saying, “We’re about to board for Oklahoma for the training before we move out. I didn’t want to bother Amber at work, so please tell her I called if you don’t think

it will upset her too much. ... I miss you all so much and love you, and I just don’t know how I’ll get through this.” At the end of the call, the serviceman had tears in his eyes and my friend said she did, too. As Obama tries to decide what to do about Afghanistan, reality is insisting that he take into account the worn-down condition of our military after so many years of fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq and the soaring budget deficits and skyhigh unemployment numbers here at home in a country that is hurting badly and could use its own dose of nation-building. Obama is said to be rethinking his plans to ratchet up American involvement in Afghanistan. One can only hope.

One of the challenges of coaching is that you don’t tell the client what to do, Caddell said. You help the person determine what the obstacle is and help the person decide what to do about it. “I don’t pretend to know more about your life than you do,” he said. He also takes a spiritual approach to life coaching. Caddell said he thinks people have natural tendencies in life. Obstacles can come up if they don’t follow those natural tendencies. For example, a very active person might struggle in a desk job. That person could be coached to consider alternative fields. One of Caddell’s goals is to help people realize those tendencies. He prefers the term dharma, sometimes defined as one’s life purpose. “Part of what I try to do is find that person’s dharma,” he said, “find that gift they can bring to the world.”

DANSKO

“As a coach, I wouldn’t tell a client what to do,” Caddell said. “I would ask the client what they think they should do.” Joe Bullock attended Wednesday’s workshop and said he’s received a coaching session from Caddell. “It’s almost like awakening a coach in yourself,” Bullock said. About 10 people participated in the session at Bud Werner Memorial Library. Caddell offered a sample of his services and handed out a worksheet to help people identify obstacles. Many roadblocks come from a person’s own perceptions rather than reality, Caddell said. He demonstrated the coaching process by working through an obstacle with Bruce Gibson. At the end of the conversation, Gibson set “action steps” to take before his next meeting with Caddell. “It was an environment where you kind of have to think about things,” Gibson said. “Where if you’re just doing it on your own, you could blow it off. It removes the option of blowing it off.”

David Caddell found his calling in life coaching after years in other fields. Like many life coaches, he said, he always felt pulled to help others. Caddell worked in media, music and customer service before discovering his passion. He trained at the Baraka Institute in Caddell Portland, Ore., and started working as a life coach in Steamboat Springs two months ago. Caddell held a free session Wednesday evening called “A Life Not Yet Lived” to teach others about life coaching and his practice. Coaching is different from therapy, he said, because the client guides the experience. A life coach’s role is to help clients overcome obstacles, he said. “As a coach, I would be asking my client what they’d like to achieve and how they see themselves progressing toward those goals,” Caddell said. Coaching can be viewed as a ladder, he said. The goal is at the top, and the life coach is the person holding the ladder steady as the client takes steps to reach the goal.

58-year-old man disoriented after dark near Buffalo Pass Zach Fridell

A local hunter who became disoriented after dark Tuesday night walked out of the wilderness near Buffalo Pass unharmed Wednesday morning. Routt County Search and Rescue spokesman Darrel Levingston said the 58-year-old local hunter, who did not want to be identified because he was embarrassed, was hunting birds Tuesday evening near the Dry Lake campground. “He went out at about 5 p.m. (Tuesday) and just stayed out a little too long,” Levingston said. “It got dark before he could make it back to his vehicle and he got turned around, walked past his vehicle and kept walking.”

The man was not prepared to spend a night outside, Levingston said. He had a whistle and was accompanied by two dogs, but he had no camping gear. When the man realized he was lost, he stopped and camped for the night. “He did some very good things that helped him survive,” Levingston said, including building a makeshift shelter and using the dogs for warmth. He also told his wife where he was hunting before he left. “By the time he had stopped, he had gotten pretty wet, and it was pretty cold up there (Tuesday) night,” Levingston said. The man’s wife reported him missing at about 9 p.m. Tuesday. Eleven Search and Rescue volunteers began searching for the man at about 6 a.m. Wednesday.

After sunrise, the man figured out where he was and hiked to the Spring Creek Trail, where he met two hunters from California at about 8 or 8:30 a.m. The hunters took the man back to the trailhead, and finally, to his car. The man did not require any medical help, but one of the two dogs had a minor eye injury. The man did not have a cell phone with him, but the hunters he met Wednesday morning had partial service. Routt County Sheriff’s Office investigators also assisted in the search and were able to track the cell phone of the two California hunters to meet the group at the trailhead. —To reach Zach Fridell, call 871-4208 or e-mail zfridell@steamboatpilot.com

That change is expressed in “Aspen Spaces,” a series of 4by-6-inch pieces that show the progression of an aspen stand through the year. A UV varnish on the finished works adds to their serious durability — before Roy settles on a newfound material to use in her art, she lets it sit on her front porch through a few months of Denver weather. Gallery owner Kimberly Saari said she’s had gallery patrons ask whether she has anything featuring aspens. Normally, she has to say no — nothing really struck her until she saw the concept and contemporary Western style of Roy’s work, Saari said.

ture of the bark changes … from one part of the year to the next,” Roy said. Since she started working with aspens, Roy has depicted the trees in more than 100 paintings. She explores each new idea in a series of six to 20 works, she said. “What I try to do when I get a different concept is I’m trying to explain that, and that’s not going to happen with one painting. So, typically, when I do a series I’ll do up to 10 of each thing,” she said. Roy’s mixed media work will be on display at K. Saari Gallery through the end of October.

depending on the quality of their day care and their first early years. I feel it’s important for local government to partner with other entities, both public and private, to accurately fund programs such as First Impressions so all our community’s children have equal access to early childhood care.”

District 2 council seat

Kenny Reisman is opposing Ken Solomon for the District 2 City Council seat. An educator for 14 years, he said local government needs to do everything possible to keep early childhood care and education programs appropriately funded because of the lack of state and federal resources. “The Human Resources Coalition has been successful, and we must continue to fund this entity so dollars are used wisely, so organizations like your own and the programs they create can flourish,” he said. “We have to collaborate with local facilities that are not licensed, emphasizing the importance of licensing, and assist them through the licensing process, all to ensure our children’s safety.” Ken Solomon — whose wife, Susan, runs a home day care service — said he’s seen firsthand the growth and developmental skills achieved when a child is given a safe, clean and nurturing environment to make emotional connections with others. “I believe Steamboat’s children are one of our greatest assets,” he said. “They will impact our community and our county, either positively or negatively, largely

Brian Kelly, who’s running against Bill Kennedy for the District 1 Steamboat Springs School Board seat, said a school funding crisis is imminent — as it was in 1993, when he served on a committee for the city’s half-cent sales tax for education. “We as advocates of education, whether it’s K-12 or 3 to 5 years old, it’s up to us to be advocates for this now, support for the HRC tax and make sure it’s successful,” he said. Bill Kennedy worked for 39 years in education in New York, including time spent as chairman of the early childhood education committee for the New York state curriculum committee. “Early childhood education, early literacy is the most important thing that we can be dealing with, the most important thing we can talk about funding for,” he said. “The community’s responsibility to fund these programs, I believe is huge.” Denise Connelly, who is running unopposed as the incumbent District 3 representative on the School Board, mentioned collaboration. “What I think we need to do is have partnerships with the schools, share our facilities, share

our resources,” she said. “We also have in the half-cent sales tax, a grant writer. If we can have grants that coordinate with both the kindergarten and preschool programs, that would be great.” Vance Fulton, incumbent District B representative on the Hayden School Board, said he would like more information. “I’m just interested in learning more about First Impressions and looking to hear ideas on help, not just financially, but hearing ideas about how to improve on early childhood education,” he said. “It’s a huge issue, especially given the economic climate we’re in right now.” — To reach Jack Weinstein, call 871-4203 or e-mail jweinstein@steamboatpilot.com

The students were at the high school at 7:30 a.m., well before the first bell rang at 8 a.m., to see Burman. Some said they came to hear his music or see his instruments. Others said they wanted to experience something that wasn’t common in Hayden. “I think it’s pretty awesome for him to come to our small town and perform in front of what he’s not used to — a small group,” said Neylan Wheat, an eighthgrader who plays the clarinet. “That’s pretty awesome.”

“If I can do it, you can do it,” Burman told the students who played the guitar as he strummed the sitar. “Just a little practice, a day or two.” Nodding their heads side to side, some students weren’t so sure. “If you don’t make mistakes, you won’t know what to learn,” Burman said. “I don’t know anything.” It took Hayden High School senior Jon Lee, who plays trombone and bass guitar, a moment to describe how he felt about

Burman’s performance. “It was awesome,” he said. “It was indescribable. He (plays) so well.” High school band teacher Derek Hurshman, who coordinated Burman’s visit, said he saw some of his students’ eyes light up as they watched Burman play. Hurshman said his students sitting with a professional musician, creating music and singing scales, was something he had never participated in, even in college. “In my 14 years of music, I’ve never had an experience like this before,” he said. “It’s pretty rare and very unique.”

Seniors hold identity theft talk

The Aging Well Program’s Wellness Wednesdays took on a more serious tone this week. John Zamora, an agent for the Colorado Bureau of Investigation’s Identity Theft Fraud Unit for the Western Slope, based in Grand junction,

talked about identity theft to a group of more than 50 seniors at the American Legion Post 62. Zamora talked about how pervasive identity theft has become in recent years. “But I think with some of the seniors, a lot of the scams they get victimized by are the phone calls, people pretending to be a grandchild,” Zamora said.

“Because back in the day, a hand shake and a polite voice in your words meant a lot. Nowadays, it just doesn’t mean a lot. “Anyone can be a victim.” On average, it takes $600 and 1,400 hours to repair the credit of an individual whose identity was stolen, Zamora said.

that we could see additional furlough days,” said Weldon Allen, Region 3 transportation director for CDOT. Tom Gangel, of Colorado West Regional Mental Health, a 10-county organization that includes Steamboat Mental Health, said state funding constitutes about 45 percent of the organization’s total budget. “We are anticipating in our 10 counties another $250,000 in cuts,” Gangel said. “It’s a hell of a lot to us. We’ve already absorbed $500,000 in cuts.” Gangel said Colorado West already has laid off some employees and instituted a hiring freeze and furlough days. There have been no layoffs to date in Steamboat, but Gangel said that may be necessary in the future. “There’s always vulnerability,” he said. “If you lose that money, it’s hard to keep people.” Gangel said Medicaid reimbursements are a likely place the state will look for cuts, which would impede Steamboat Mental Health’s ability to provide therapy and psychiatric services to low-income patients. Capt. Rich Munroe, of the Colorado State Patrol’s Craig Troop Office, said the state has committed to maintaining essential services and public safety. He said patrols have not been reduced and that he does not expect them to be, but some civilian employees and uniformed administrators have taken part in furlough days. Similarly, Allen said CDOT’s strategy has been to cut projects rather than maintenance. “We need to maintain and take care of what we own,” he said. “What it will affect is new construction.”

Grants on hold DOW spokesman Randy Hampton said that while the division was not exempt from furloughs, it is funded primarily by hunting and fishing licenses and,

therefore, immune to the state’s general fund shortfalls. Hampton acknowledged that fewer hunting and fishing licenses are being sold, but he said the effects of that won’t be felt until the next fiscal year, which begins July 1, 2010. John Twitchell, a Steamboatbased forester with the Colorado State Forest Service, said his agency also is in a unique situation. As part of the Colorado State University system, budget maneuvers are not identical to those being carried out in other branches of state government. As such, state foresters are not taking furlough days, Twitchell said, but salaries have been frozen. Proposed cuts to higher education, however, could ultimately mean big impacts on the state forest service and other components of the CSU system. As one of the six largest sectors of state spending, higher education has a big target on its back as the state looks for savings. State Sen. Al White, RHayden, said that, so far, the state has backfilled cuts to higher education with federal economic stimulus money. White said Ritter will ask for a waiver that would allow the state to further reduce its contribution to higher education without jeopardizing the stimulus funds. The problem with that, White said, is that when the stimulus money runs out, the state would have to pour about $250 million back into higher education, or state colleges and universities will see shattering decreases. “That’s a problem that’s looming for higher education,” White said. White, a member of the state Legislature’s Joint Budget Committee, said he couldn’t speculate on future cuts until he sees what Ritter proposes. Ritter’s August budget cuts of $320 million included about 100 items, such as the elimination of 270 full-time employees, a $25 million cut to the state prison system and cash transfers from

They will reopen with a free, public reception from 5 to 8 p.m. Dec. 18 for a show by Ken Carlson, who “is considered to be the best living wildlife painter,” Stocks said.

programs that provide grants for projects in regions including Northwest Colorado. The grants are funded by federal mineral lease and severance tax payments, and awarded to local governments impacted by energy development. Local governments also receive direct distributions from these revenues. While direct distributions increased in many areas in 2009, Associated Governments of Northwest Colorado Executive Director Aron Diaz said both sources of revenue for Western Slope areas including Routt County are threatened. For example, the Department of Local Affairs canceled the planned grant awards in August. One project vying for money was a $200,000 collaboration between the city of Steamboat Springs, Routt County and other regional governments to study energy use and identify possible savings. Temporary suspensions to the state’s sales tax rebates to businesses and property tax exemptions for seniors likely will continue for at least another year. The state normally compensates businesses for the bookkeeping involved in sales tax payments with a 3.3 percent rebate. The homestead property tax exemption, when in place, reduces seniors’ property tax bills by 50 percent up to the first $200,000 of assessed valuation.

SUMMIT DAILY NEWS

SUMMIT COUNTY

The death of a 13-year-old Breckenridge boy Wednesday may have been connected with swine flu infection. Bryan Pineda, 13, was found unconscious at his home Wednesday and later died at Breckenridge Medical Center. On Friday, he tested positive for Type A flu, and “currently 99 percent of positive Type A flu tests are thought to be 2009 H1N1 (swine) influenza,” according to a joint statement from Summit County Public Health and Coroner Joanne Richardson. To date, nobody in Summit County had tested positive for swine flu. But because seasonal flu doesn’t tend to hit until November or December — and H1N1 tests are prohibitively expensive ($298 a person) — health officials are assuming positive flu tests to be swine flu. Only people who are hospitalized are tested for H1N1. An autopsy is to be performed today, though immediate results are unlikely to suggest cause of death. “The district is devastated

at this loss, and our hearts go out to the family of this young man,” Summit School District Superintendent Millie Hamner said. Public health officials this week reported 11.5 percent of local students missing class because of illness. About 6 percent reported flu symptoms, and 5 percent reported symptoms involving sore throat and gastrointestinal problems — both of which have been reportedly connected with swine flu. Summit High School principal Drew Adkins said 105 students missed school Tuesday because of illness, with 46 reporting flu symptoms. That’s nearly 13 percent of the student body. Summit High Schiik Athletic Director Amy Raymond said in an e-mail that a gymnastics competition Wednesday was canceled because six of seven team members were at home with the flu. Statewide, two deaths and 170 hospitalizations this month have been attributed to swine flu. Both people who died had other health conditions that may have contributed to the deaths, according to a report in the Denver Post.

Tough times call for tough decisions — that’s one reason a group of Vail business people is proposing the town of Vail consider a lodging tax increase. The group, Vail Citizens for Action, wants to stir up conversation within the town — specifically among the candidates running for open council seats in November — about how the town can stay afloat during tough economic times. “We’re in a new normal, and it’s critical that we continue the good things about the guest services in Vail,” said Beth Slifer, a Vail Citizens for Action member. “(The town needs to) recognize we are no longer in a boom economy, and we have to do things a little bit differently.” The town’s lodging tax is currently 1.4 percent — the group proposes the town more than triple it, to 4.4 percent. Town Manager Stan Zemler said the group’s idea is something that’s “been floating around the last month.” Any tax increase would have to go to the voters, but the Vail Citizens for Action group thinks a tax that voters wouldn’t have to pay is more attractive during a slower economy.

The Vail Local Marketing District is the entity that collects the lodging tax that pays for things like town marketing efforts and special events. The increase in the lodging tax would double the district’s budget and the Commission on Special Events’ budget, freeing up money within the general fund that helps pay for these programs, proponents of the idea say. “I don’t think anybody is terribly in favor of a tax increase — we need a discussion about the challenges we do face,” said Kent Logan, a Vail Citizens for Action member and former town councilman. “We need to reposition the Vail brand in a new world.” Real estate development has been the main generator of Vail’s growth, but now the economic engine is going to change to tourism, Logan said. The redevelopment boom has created a more desirable Vail, Slifer said, and now it’s time to up the ante in attracting people to fill the hotel and condominium beds. “A 4.5 percent tax would be a great boom to what I believe the community needs: more marketing and world-class special events,” Slifer said. “We need to be doing everything we can to bring people in to take advantage of the new assets we’ve built in the last five years.”

President advocates ‘new era of engagement’ to world leaders THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

UNITED NATIONS

President Barack Obama challenged world leaders Wednesday to shoulder more of the globe’s critical burdens, promising a newly cooperative partner in America but sternly warning they can no longer castigate the U.S. as a go-it-alone bully while still demanding it cure all ills. “Those who used to chastise America for acting alone in the world cannot now stand by and wait for America to solve the world’s problems alone,” Obama said in put-up-or-shutup comments before a packed U.N. General Assembly hall. “Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges.” In his first appearance before the group, Obama promised the U.S. would reach out in “a new era of engagement based on mutual interest and mutual respect,” but he also wagged a rhetorical finger at leaders who spend time at international gatherings excoriating the U.S. He said “an almost reflexive anti-Americanism” that swept the globe under the administration of his predecessor, George W. Bush, is not “an excuse for collective inaction.”

Russian leader holds out prospect of Iran sanctions NEW YORK

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev opened the door Wednesday to tough new international sanctions if Iran refuses to restrain its nuclear

AROUND THE NATION ambitions, giving ground on an issue of major importance to the Obama administration. Medvedev’s pivot toward possibly accepting tough new sanctions came a week after President Barack Obama scaled back a Bush-era missile shield in Eastern Europe, a move the U.S. hoped would pave the way for the Russians to consider additional Iranian sanctions. U.S. and Russian officials said Wednesday that there was no quid pro quo, though Obama has said he expected the missile decision would lead to Russian good will.

Fed slows housing market plan; loan rates to stay low WASHINGTON

Signaling confidence in a recovery, the Federal Reserve decided Wednesday to stretch out the pace of a program intended to decrease mortgage rates and prop up the housing market. Even so, rates on home loans are expected to remain low. To foster the recovery, the Fed also decided to hold the target range for its key bank lending rate at a record low of between zero and 0.25 percent. Stocks fell as a brief rally followed the Fed’s statement and then faded. The Dow Jones industrial average came within 82 points of crossing 10,000 for the first time since October but ended with a loss of 81. Stocks often trade erratically on days when the Fed issues

policy decisions as investors pore over the statement. Some analysts said the Fed’s statement was anticipated and didn’t give the market enough reason to go higher — especially with stock indicators up more than 50 percent from their March lows. “The market got exactly what it was expecting,” said Thomas Wilson, a managing director at Brinker Capital in Berwyn, Pa.

Official: More questioned in NYC terrorism probe NEW YORK

Hundreds of federal agents and police officers widened their investigation of a potential terrorism plot involving an alleged al-Qaida associate Wednesday as questions lingered about whether early missteps might have made the chore harder. Investigators have fanned out in a New York City neighborhood to re-interview “people previously encountered” during previous raids there, and to locate others who know them, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the probe. The effort also includes a review of phone and other records that could link potential suspects to one another or identify new ones. “Many of the people we’ve spoken to have been cooperative,” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing. The official said business owners also are on the list of possible witnesses in a potential homemade-bomb plot.

Avs win against Kings THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KARL GEHRING/THE DENVER POST

Padres infielder David Eckstein tags Dexter Fowler as he attempts to steal second base in the third inning. The Colorado Rockies hosted the San Diego Padres at Coors Field on Wednesday night. The Padres beat the Rockies, 6-3, and ended the team’s eight-game winning streak at home.

DENVER

Will Venable homered and tied a career high by driving in four runs in the San Diego Padres’ 6-3 win against Colorado on Wednesday night that snapped the Rockies’ eightgame home winning streak. The Rockies’ lead in the National League wild-card race

was whittled to four games over Atlanta, which beat the New York Mets 5-2 on Wednesday night. The San Francisco Giants, who played at Arizona, also began the night five games behind Colorado. Venable hit a solo homer in the second, his 12th, and added a three-run double in the fifth off right-hander Jason Marquis (15-

12), who failed for the third time to win his career-best 16th game. Reliever Ryan Webb (1-0) got the win with one inning of scoreless relief, and Heath Bell pitched the ninth for his 40th save in 46 tries. With one man on and two outs, Troy Tulowitzki was rung up by home plate umpire Rob Drake on a full-count off-speed pitch that the shortstop thought

was high and tight for ball four. Marquis was tagged for six runs, five of them earned, on five hits and five walks in just 4 2/3 innings. Matt Herges replaced him with two men on his error covering first when Tony Gwynn’s chopper allowed Venable to score and make it 6-0. Right-hander Tim Stauffer took a no-hitter into the fifth See Rockies, page 22

Paul Stastny and Milan Hejduk scored second-period goals and Craig Anderson stopped MarcAndre Cliche’s penalty shot in the Colorado Avalanche’s 3-2 exhibition victory against the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday night. Anderson, signed as a free WEDNESDAY’S agent after playGAME: ing three seasons Avs 3 for Florida, finKings 2 ished with 30 saves. T.J. Hensick also scored for Colorado (3-1). Peter Harrold and Trevor Lewis scored, and Erik Ersberg had 21 saves for the Kings (3-2-1). Harrold opened the scoring for the Kings midway through the first period. Dustin Brown nearly made it 2-0 with a shot that rang off the post, then Stastny split two Kings’ defenders and beat Ersberg to tie it. Six minutes later, Hejduk one-timed a pass from Wojtek Wolski to make it 2-1. With 1:10 left in the period, Cliche was awarded a penalty shot after Colorado defenseman Kyle Cumiskey slashed him on a short-handed breakaway. Cliche tried to beat Anderson low, but the goalie got a right pad on the shot to preserve the lead.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

A third of the way through the Western Slope League soccer schedule, the Steamboat Springs High School boys soccer team encounters its first must-win game of the year. At 5:45 p.m. today, Steamboat welcomes Glenwood Springs to Gardner Field for a game that has as much impact on the league race as any. The two teams played to a 0-

0 tie earlier this month. Considering the top four teams in the league — Steamboat, Glenwood Springs, Battle Mountain and Eagle Valley — seemingly have all been playing to draws early in the season, Sailors coach Rob Bohlmann admitted Wednesday

that today’s game carries added importance. “If you look at home-andhome with each opponent, we got a point at Glenwood for a draw,” Bohlmann said. “Three points (for a win) puts us ahead of Glenwood if it comes down to any tiebreaker. There is a lot of the league to play out, but really right now indications are it’s going to be a tight race. We look at it as a must-win.” In the first match-up between the Sailors (2-1-2 overall, 2-0-2

in league) and Demons (4-1-2, 2-1-1), both teams were without key players, but each had an opportunity to win the game. Glenwood Springs, however, is fresh off of a 1-0 loss at Battle Mountain on Tuesday, when the goal occurred in the final three minutes of regulation. That loss, coupled with playing on the road, makes today’s game a must-win for the Demons, as well. Being at home gives the Sailors an edge. Steamboat

traditionally struggles at Glenwood’s small, narrow field. Gardner Field, though, should allow Steamboat to try to find scorers and open up its attack, something Bohlmann said must happen for the Sailors to win. “It’s really two things,” Bohlmann said. “Can we get back on track after Saturday with composure of play and maintaining more possession? We feel obviously in the first See Sailors, page 21

Volleyball preps for rivalry Even as things appear to be rolling for the Steamboat Springs High School volleyball team, coach Wendy Hall urges caution about expectations. Sure, the team is 5-1 overall and 2-0 in the Western Slope League, but it’s far too early to believe anything has been determined. Although the coach has liked what she has seen early, she said the success has to continue at 6:30 p.m. today at Moffat County. “We’re far from being able to

determine who the front-runner is in this league,” Hall said. “We have to be up and prepared to play our best against every opponent. If we do that, maybe we give ourselves a shot. We’ve got a lot of volleyball in front of us.” There might not be a better rivalry in the league than the Bulldogs and Sailors. Each team has had its share of wins

the past couple of years. Hall said playing on the road presents its challenges, especially in a hostile environment such as Moffat County’s home gymnasium. But with setter and outside hitter Colleen King looking healthy, the Sailors should have every chance to get off to a 3-0 start in the league and present themselves as one of the teams to beat. Steamboat next plays at 11 a.m. Saturday at Battle Mountain and at 5 p.m. Saturday against Eagle Valley. Both games are at Battle Mountain. “But we can’t really start talking about Battle Mountain and Eagle Valley,” Hall said, “until we get over to Moffat County (today) and take care of business.”

With his long arms and low center of gravity, Elvis Dumervil was just the hybrid player the Denver Broncos were coveting for their conversion to a 3-4 scheme. Convincing him, though, took some work. Initially, Dumervil balked at being moved to outside linebacker in defensive coordinator Mike Nolan’s new formation. He liked his defensive end spot and had perfected some pretty good rush moves from there. Any reservations Dumervil may have had went out the window Sunday, when he sacked Cleveland’s Brady Quinn four times to tie a franchise mark. Maybe this system does suit his style? “I still have a lot to learn,” Dumervil said. “But I feel like I am going the right direction.” Dumervil is giving opposing offensive linemen fits trying to figure him out. He’s 5-foot-11 with a massive wing span and lots of speed. Push him to the outside? He’ll use his quickness to get to the quarterback. Try to knock him to the turf ?

He’s already so low, he simply bounces right back up. Bottle him up? He’ll use his leverage advantage to gain separation. “I’ve always had tremendous respect for him,” Oakland coach Tom Cable said. “He’s always a handful. He’s a competitor and he brings it every snap ... To me, this was not really a breakout game. I think this guy has been a good player for a while.” He’s been trying to convince everyone of that for years. Dumervil had 78 sacks at Jackson High School in Miami, but he wasn’t highly recruited. His size scared some schools away. So he wound up at the University of Louisville, where he had 20 sacks his senior year and captured the Bronko Nagurski Award, given to the nation’s best defender. Again, he wasn’t highly sought after, slipping into the fourth round of the 2006 draft, where the Broncos selected him to bolster their lackluster pass rush. He repaid the faith with 8 1-2 sacks in his rookie season. Now four years in, he has 30

career sacks. “He plays with a chip on his shoulder,” linebacker Andra Davis said. “He goes out there each and every week and proves he can get the job done. I watched him at Louisville — 20 sacks in one season? You don’t just stumble across those type of numbers.” Kenny Peterson towers over Dumervil and weighs nearly 50 pounds more. Peterson, not Dumervil, looks more like the prototypical defensive lineman. Still, Peterson can’t help but be a little envious of Dumervil, whose frame is perfectly streamlined to get to the quarterback in a hurry. “After every game, we sit and talk. I’m always like, ‘How do you do it?”’ Peterson said. “It’s something he can’t really explain.” What it boils down to is leverage. Dumervil gets so low that he creeps underneath a bigger player’s pads. From there he simply pushes them aside and pursues the quarterback. “He’s short, so he play from a leverage standpoint often,” Nolan said. “He’s also a good competitor. He accepts the challenge very well.”

Golfer donates $40,000 to charities Doug Ferguson

Heath Slocum was in danger of losing his PGA Tour card a month ago. Now he has a chance to win $10 million from the FedEx Cup if he were to win the Tour Championship. His fortunes have changed. But not his priorities. Slocum donated $40,000 on Wednesday to three charities associated with the Tour Championship. The East Lake Foundation will receive $20,000, and the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and the Chron’s and Colitis Foundation each get $10,000.

“We’re in a good position to help out,” Slocum said. “This is something that we’ve been talking about for a while, and I’m glad that we could do that this week. There are so many great organizations that help so many people. Like I said, I’m just glad that we could even be a small part of it.” Part of the charity is personal. Slocum has suffered from ulcerative colitis for the past 10 years. Since moving to the Atlanta area from the Florida Panhandle, he has been working with the Georgia chapter of the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation to find a cure. The tour has been promoting its players’ individual

charity work since launching a campaign in May called, “Together, Anything’s Possible.” Commissioner Tim Finchem said Slocum’s donation was another example. “Here we have a player who found incredible success this year on tour and is using that success as a platform to positively impact the community in which he lives,” Finchem said. Slocum had earned $639,815 going into the playoffs, which left him about $200,000 short of keeping his card for next year. Then he won The Barclays and picked up $1.35 million, making him the No. 5 seed at the Tour Championship.

Helton’s sacrifice fly gives Rockies 3 runs Rockies continued from 20 inning but left after allowing two runs on three hits, denying him the victory because he only went 4 2/3 innings. Clint Barmes led off the inning with a double and scored on Seth Smith’s single. Tulowitzki chased Stauffer with an RBI single that made it 6-2. Webb walked Brad Hawpe,

loading the bases, but got Yorvit Torrealba to ground out to second to end the inning. The Rockies pulled to 6-3 on Todd Helton’s sacrifice fly off Joe Thatcher in the seventh. Notes: Game time temperature was 48 degrees. ... The Rockies will soon have reliever Alan Embree pitch in the Arizona instructional league. He’s been out with a broken right leg since

he was struck by a line drive off the bat of Atlanta’s Martin Prado on July 10. ... The Rockies kept LF Carlos Gonzalez out of the lineup because his left hamstring grabbed on him Tuesday night. ... Colorado reliever Manny Corpas (elbow spurs) will pitch in the Arizona instructional league soon and Tracy wouldn’t rule out his return this month or next.
