Steamboat 700 Principal and Project Manager Danny Mulcahy takes notes while Bill Cousins speaks to Steamboat Springs City Council members during Tuesday night’s public comment period about the proposed development. Cousins, who just moved to Steamboat a week ago from California, said he wanted to comment because he is concerned and interested in the future of Steamboat.

for final consideration. “This is a major, major thing for the folks in town, and they should have a say in it,” resident Bill Moser said. Resident Ed MacArthur cautioned council against putting the decision to a vote and said the majority of city residents won’t do the research necessary to say whether the complex development is a good idea. MacArthur, who is president of the Yampa Valley Housing Authority, urged council to

support the project. “Nothing in life will ever be perfect, but this is a good plan,” MacArthur said. “We won’t be a community if we don’t have places to go in the future.” Final consideration of the annexation is Oct. 13. If council approves it, petitioners would have to gather enough signatures from city residents — 10 percent of registered voters — to force a referendum election. See Council, page 16

STEAMBOAT TODAY

The art of quirky behavior I love odd behavior. I love it so much I keep a running list of strange habits and quirky behavior in a notebook on my desk. On my list are things like, “Wearing a baseball cap to bed,” “Can’t kiss in the bathroom,” and “Sorting M&M candy by color.” Most of the time, I just make a note of something I observe, but occasionally, if it’s a bureaucratic bugaboo, I will challenge it, such as the time I called the intensive care unit of a hospital and the on-hold music played the 1968 Traffic song “Feelin’ Alright.” You know the one, popularly covered by Joe Cocker that goes: “You feelin’ all right? I’m not feelin’ too good myself. … Well, you feelin’ all right? I’m not feelin’ too good myself. ...” I had to respond. “Um, excuse me, but do you know what your on-hold music is?”

LIFE IN THE ’BOAT

Joanne Palmer The nurse sighed. “Yes, we get a lot of complaints about it,” she responded wearily. “Why don’t you change it? Some classical music might be better.” “Well, it’s been all the way up to the CEO of the hospital but nothing seems to happen.” My reservations about this hospital only intensified when, later in the day, I went to visit my friend and passed a sign that read, “On the cutting edge of surgical procedures.” Ouch. Naturally, I flipped open the geeky little notebook I carry with me and jotted it down. One of my many quirky habits

is that I can’t take notes in an expensive notebook. A pricey notebook with gilt edges and a leather cover intimidates me. It seems to command lofty, highly intellectual thoughts — of which I have very few — and so I always buy the cheapest notebook I can find. I love quirky behavior because predictable behavior is, well, too predictable and boring, like knowing the punch line to a joke. Quirky people think outside the box, color outside the lines and are guaranteed to make interesting dinner guests. Because I’ve elevated quirky behavior to an art form, I should be on the guest list to every party in town. Here are a few more oddball things I do: I have to rub my feet together before I go to sleep. See Palmer, page 19

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Candidates for Steamboat Springs City Council were split on whether major capital projects should go to a vote at a Tuesday forum hosted by the Steamboat Springs Rotary Club. The forum was sometimes reminiscent of two years ago, as Councilwoman Cari Hermacinski focused on some of the same issues from her successful campaign in 2007. Hermacinski currently holds council’s at-large seat and is running for a District 1 seat against former City Council President Kevin Bennett. In 2007, Hermacinski campaigned against the previous council’s purchase of the Iron Horse Inn for affordable housing. On Tuesday, she criticized the Bennett-led council’s use of the same financing mechanism — certificates of participation — to construct Centennial Hall and the Howelsen Ice Arena. Local governments in Colorado can issue general obligation bonds with voter approval, according to the Colorado

The use of certificates of participation is a more complex form of financing that does not require voter approval because it is subject to annual appropriations and does not constitute a multi-year financial obligation, according to the department.

School district officials said 151 of Steamboat Springs Middle School’s 497 students were called in sick or sent home Tuesday. With 30 percent of students absent, the Steamboat Springs School District reached a threshold it established to discuss closing the school. Superintendent Shalee Cunningham said district officials don’t think the absences at the middle school were a H1N1, or swine flu, outbreak. Like Monday, when 133 students were home sick from the middle school, students missed

classes because of a variety of illnesses Tuesday. Reported illnesses included flu, strep throat, fever, sinus and bronchial infections, and head and chest colds. Principal Tim Bishop said parents called in 85 students sick Tuesday morning. He said by the end of the day, 66 more were sent home. Bishop said the school is being more proactive about sending kids home if they complain of feeling ill or exhibit any symptoms. Cunningham said district officials will meet Friday with the countywide swine flu group that began meeting last fall. That group includes representatives of the Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association,

Road work worth the headaches

ommuting through downtown Steamboat Springs got a lot more stressful with this week’s commencement of a major Lincoln Avenue resurfacing project. But our short-term pain will net long-term gains for AT ISSUE the city, its residents Lincoln Avenue and its visitors. Work began improvements Monday on a project that, weather permitOUR VIEW ting, will continue U.S. 40 work through the fall, take a hiatus during the winpromises ter, and begin again in significant the spring. If all goes upgrades. according to plan, the work could be done by June 2010. If not, work will be halted at the end of June and continued again in September 2010, once the summer tourism season has come to a close. That might seem like an eternity to those who sat in bumper-to-bumper traffic Tuesday afternoon while heading west through downtown, but it’s a project that simply must be accomplished while the funding is available. The total estimated cost is a little more than $5.6 million, with about $1.6 million coming from the city. The Colorado Department of Transportation awarded the project contract to Scott Contracting out of Henderson.

Among the project’s components: ■ Removing the asphalt road surface from Third to 13th streets and replacing it with concrete, which should last longer and be easier to maintain. ■ Replacing underground utility lines ■ Upgrading the drainage system, including culverts, inlets, gutters and concrete curbs ■ Installing a box culvert at Lincoln Avenue and Seventh Street ■ Adding bulb-outs at signaled intersections. The bulb-outs will reduce the distance pedestrians must walk to cross Lincoln Avenue. ■ Installing Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant ramps ■ Installing colored concrete crosswalks ■ Adding a traffic signal at 11th Street ■ Adding a left-turn arrow for westbound Lincoln Avenue traffic turning onto Fifth Street ■ Adding a left-turn arrow for eastbound Lincoln Avenue traffic turning onto Third Street ■ Installing fiber-optic lines to coordinate downtown traffic signals During construction, traffic often will be reduced to one lane in each direction, as we’ve already experienced this week. The speed limit is reduced to 20 mph through the work zone, and delays of as long as 10 minutes are expected. That wasn’t the case Tuesday, when it

took some folks 40 minutes to make it from downtown to west Steamboat. Construction officials say those delays won’t be the norm. We hope they’re right. “Whenever you start a new project, you’re going to run into unforeseen conflicts, especially when you’re coordinating with different agencies,” project spokeswoman Jody Patten said. “We’re working around the clock so we can come up with a solution so we don’t have unacceptable delays.” We urge Scott Contracting and the Colorado Department of Transportation to get the kinks worked out this week. Multiple days of 40-plusminute delays are not acceptable. Finally, it’s important to remember that not only will the construction test our collective patience — after all, living in Northwest Colorado makes it easy to forget what traffic really is — it has the potential to negatively affect many downtown businesses. We urge residents to keep in mind that those businesses will remain open despite the work going on outside their front doors. And although Lincoln Avenue parking will be limited, that shouldn’t stop us from using side-street parking and continuing to frequent our favorite downtown businesses. We’d hate for an important but inconvenient highway construction project to significantly impact the health of our downtown economy.

We, the residents of West Acres Park, would like to thank the members of the City Council for their personal interest in our concerns about the New Victory Highway. Four of the council members — Loui Antonucci, Cari Hermacinski, Scott Quinn and Walter Magill — took the time to come out to West Acres, seeing for themselves exactly where the road is to be built.

Peering into the future CHARLOTTE, N.C.

A whoop went up in the classroom, and the teenagers became giddy when they realized that the man and woman being escorted to the front of the room were Bill and Melinda Gates. “Ohmigod!” shrieked one girl, her eyes and mouth wide with astonishment. “Are you the Herbert real Bill Gates?” asked another. The Gateses were in the Algebra 1 class at West Charlotte High School (a venerable, mostly black institution that through the decades has reached academic highs and touched ignominious lows) to learn, not teach. They have been traveling the country trying to see for themselves what really works and what has gone haywire in public education in the United States. Visiting classrooms is like peering into the nation’s future. Right now, the view is some-

what frightening. American kids drop out of high school at an average of one every 26 seconds. Only about a third of those who graduate are prepared to move on to a fouryear college. And in the savage economic downturn that has gripped the United States for the better part of the past two years, retrenchment in public schools and colleges is widespread. For a country that once led the world in educating its citizens, we are now moving decidedly in the wrong direction. As Bill Gates points out: “Our performance at every level — primary and secondary school achievement, high school graduation, college entry, college completion — is dropping against the rest of the world.” This has consequences. As Melinda Gates notes: “America’s long history of upward mobility is in danger.” The Gateses are co-chairs of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the world’s largest philanthropic organization. They are investing billions of dollars and much of their considerable energy in an effort to spark not

just change but a transformation in the way American youngsters are educated. It’s an overwhelming challenge, and not all of their early efforts have borne fruit. Educating children in the U.S. means engaging issues such as poverty and homelessness, racial and ethnic transformations and entrenched, outdated ways of doing things. But the Gateses seem determined to master this issue and do what they can to help reverse the current dismal trends. As they met during two days with students, teachers, administrators and community college executives in Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham, the intensity of their focus and concentration was striking. “You can read about all of this stuff,” Bill Gates told me, “but it’s important to come out and see it, to spend time talking with the people involved, and to visit the bad schools as well as the good schools if you really want to understand and make a difference.” The Gateses are committed, but they need so many more to follow their lead.

Good Samaritan deserves a warm ‘thank you’ none of the development projects are approved, it would be inappropriate to begin building a road with city funds. They realized that sandwiching a road between 20 homes and two hills will greatly impact the quality of life for the residents — not to mention that it will take away two greenbelts. Again, we thank you for listening to our concerns and standing up for those who have “no legal standing.”

Tom Williams, on behalf of West Acres Park residents

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

A kind act Good Samaritans are alive and well. The other day, my daughter crashed her bike on her way to school. It was a pretty bad crash, and her helmet was broken in three places. She is fine — not even a concussion — thanks to the helmet. Shortly after the crash, a woman (I’m sorry I forget your name) called from her deck to see if everything was all right. I asked this voice through the trees to call my wife and have her meet us down the trail with the car to bring my daughter home. This stranger couldn’t reach my wife but took it upon herself, without asking, to come

down with her car and give us a ride home. It was such a simple act and one that most of us would do, but it was a great reminder to me of all the good things that happen every day that go unaccounted for. In a world where bad news sells and the media seem to continually highlight the latest bombing or other violent act, I tend to forget the millions of good and simple acts like this one that truly shape our world. A huge thank you to this Good Samaritan who helped us in a time of need. I hope we can all mirror her example.

Altos niveles de radón en Routt

Las pruebas de los niveles de radón en las casas del Condado de Routt son más elevadas de lo que se pensaba y la Oficina Local espera que la clase del día jueves ayude a los residentes a protegerse de este peligro. Radón es un gas radioactivo, sin color y sin olor, que se piensa que es la segunda causa principal de cáncer de pulmón después del cigarrillo. Es un sub producto del uranio que se filtra en el aire desde el suelo y puede llegar a concentrarse en niveles muy peligrosos dentro de las casas. De acuerdo a datos de la Universidad Estatal de Colorado, “se estima que el radón podría estar asociado con alrededor de 21,000 muertes por cáncer del pulmón por año en los Estados Unidos.” Karen Massey, Agente de Extensión de Ciencia del Consumidor del Condado de Routt, dijo que la clase del

jueves se llevará a cabo de 7 a 9 pm, en el Salón de la Corte del Condado de Routt en el centro de Steamboat Springs, esto será posible gracias a un subsidio del Departamento de Salud Pública y de Medio Ambiente de Colorado y proveerá información muy valiosa en forma gratuita. No podría haber una mejor fecha para realizar estas clases. El martes, la Organización Mundial de la Salud invitará a realizar acciones más efectivas en contra del radón en el interior de los domicilios. “Queremos que la gente conozca que eliminar el radón es relativamente fácil y de bajo costo si se hace de manera correcta” dijo Massey el lunes. Doug Kladder, autor de “Protegiendo tu casa de Radón” trasmitirá un programa desde su oficina en el Centro de Investigación y Tecnología de medioambiente de Colorado Springs.

En su nota de prensa del martes, la Organización Mundial de

elación de hogares y el costo de las mismas fluctúa entre $10 y $40. El costo de reducción de niveles de radón en un hogar ya establecido puede variar entre $800 y $2500. Instalar estos sistemas durante la construcción de una nueva casa es muy barato, entre $350 y $500. Un sistema efectivo y popular para reducir los niveles de radón es llamado “descompresión de losas.” Esto involucra colocar debajo de una capa permeable cañerías debajo de una estructura, a través de ella y saliendo por el techo, lo cual hace que el gas radón salga de la casa por una chimenea. Tales sistemas son un componente del Programa del Departamento de Construcción Regional del Condado de Routt llamado Programa de Edificación Verde. Este programa es voluntario en el primer año y podría llegar a ser obligatorio. “Las Edificaciones verdes están designadas para proveer de casas sanas y medio ambientes sanos en los hogares,” dijo Carln Dunham Funcionario de Edificaciones. “Todas las casas deberían tener un sistema de mitigación de radón de una u otra forma.”

Incremento del riesgo

la salud recomendó a Estados Unidos disminuir la reacción en los umbrales a 2.7 pCi/L, que duplica el número estimado de hogares en los Estados Unidos que necesitan sistemas de control de radón de 8 millones a 15 millones Con excepción del Condado Eagle, el Condado de Routt está rodeado de ciudades que han sido nombradas del EPA por tener altos niveles de radón y Massey piensa que el Condado de Routt podría tener mayor riesgo que el ya estimado. Ella basa su queja en los resultados de exámenes acumulados que se hicieron desde que la oficina anexa comenzó a proveer en forma gratuita kits para hacerse estas pruebas a los residentes del condado. “Durante los últimos años hemos realizado muchos exámenes y hemos encontrado que hay mas radón que lo que se esperaba,” dijo Massey, quien también informó que habían aún más kits de pruebas disponibles en la Oficina auxiliar en el anexo de la Corte del Condado de Routt. “Uno nunca sabe hasta que comienza a realizar los exámenes.” Los kits para estos exámenes también están disponibles en las ferreterías y tiendas de remod-

El último nivel informado es solamente un inicio por lo cual el EPA recomienda tomar acciones. De acuerdo al EPA, con la exposición de radón a 4 pCI/L durante toda una vida, el riesgo de un no fumador de contraer cáncer al pulmón por exposición de radón es casi lo mismo que morir en un accidente automovilístico. El riesgo se intensifica con los fumadores y para los ex-fumadores cuando están expuestos a altos niveles de radón.

El final del Mercado de Agricultores Por Shawn McHugh

ESCRITOR DEL DAILY PRESS

Por última vez en el año y dos días después de la primera helada de otoño, los agricultores y artesanos locales expusieron sus productos el jueves por la tarde, hubo vegetales, pasteles, joyas entre otros en el parque Alice Pleasant. La tercera temporada del Mercado de Agricultores de la Asociación de Negocios del Centro de la Ciudad está ahora cerrada. Los proveedores dijeron que hubo un crecimiento en las ventas de esta temporada y un alto flujo de consumidores en comparación con años anteriores. “Este año ha habido mucha mas participación de artesanos y también de la gente de la comunidad,” dijo Marilyn Henderson, proveedor por segundo año de joyería, de 30 años de edad y residente del Valle de Yampa.

“Fue mucho mejor que el año pasado” Otros proveedores compartieron iguales comentarios, sin embargo ya estaban listos para cambiar a otras ocupaciones y hobbies propios de la temporada. Lois Yoder, junto con su esposo, Vernon, y su hijo de 10 años ofrecieron en su stand una variedad de panes, pepinillos, granos, mermeladas, galletas, granola y numerosos sabores de pasteles. “Realmente me divertí mucho este verano en el mercado”, dijo ella. “Fue verdaderamente exitoso, sin embargo ya estoy lista para terminar y cambiar el horneado por otro hobbies” Ella espera pasar más tiempo cosiendo y realizando libros de memorias durante los meses de invierno. Otras, como Joanne Petre de la Granja Sunny Breeze, están buscando otras locaciones para vender los productos de

las ovejas de la granja y el suero para alimentar a los puercos ahora que el Mercado de Craig está cerrado por esta época del año. Indico también que la granja envía queso de cabra y jabón de leche de cabra a los restaurantes y tiendas de todo el estado. Aunque esta variedad satisface a los Granjeros del Mercado de Craig con una selección de productos artesanales, comestibles y con personalidad, siempre hay una constante Como Bob Grubb lo indica “hasta que el calentamiento global realmente llegue, a fines de setiembre es una buena época para ser calificada como el final de la temporada de Mercado”.

Estrategias para apelación de Hankins Por Collin Smith

ESCRITOR DEL DAILY PRESS

La Oficina de la Defensoría Pública del Estado de Colorado dio el primer paso para la apelación sobre el caso de Terry Hankins en la condena por el delito del 26 de agosto. Hankins fue condenado de asesinato en primer grado, el delito más grave, y por alevosía como Hankins delito menor, en conexión con la muerte de su esposa Cynthia, en junio del 2007. Fue sentenciado a cadena perpetua sin libertad condicional. El Defensor Público de Steamboat Springs, que manejó el caso de Hankins en la Corte de la ciudad del Condado de Moffat, dijo que esta oficina apelaría casi todas

las condenas. Aun no se ha remitido el documento oficial de apelación en la Corte de Apelación de Colorado a favor de Hankins. Sin embargo, el Juez Michael O’ Hará, quien escuchó el caso en agosto, firmó una moción permitiendo a la Oficina de Defensoría Pública fundamentar la apelación de Hankins. La moción también indica que Hankins cree que hay “fundamentos merecedores” para una reconsideración de la pena impuesta, sin embargo, no ha expuesto aún las razones. Hankins no tendrá representación en la apelación por parte de los abogados de la oficina de Steamboat Springs. El Defensor Público de la División de Apelaciones tendrá esta responsabilidad.

Luego la descuartizó y la enterró en los terrenos mineros de su propiedad al norte de la ciudad. En algunas confesiones, de acuerdo a declaraciones oficiales de ley, Hankins manifestó que Cynthia era abusiva y que antes que él la atacara ella lo golpeó con un ventilador eléctrico. Durante el juicio en la corte de la ciudad, sus abogados argumentaron defensa propia, haciendo conocer los reportes policiales habidos en el Departamento de Policía de Craig donde Hankins denunció varios abusos de Cynthia en el transcurso de su matrimonio.

Mountain bike rider Dave Dietrich wasn’t sure how he should feel Monday evening after coming across a full-grown mountain lion on Emerald Mountain. “It was one of the neatest encounters of my life — it was also the most interesting and the most frightening,” Dietrich said. Dietrich, who works in sales for Moots Cycles, said he was riding on the new Quarry Mountain Trail when he came across the big cat walking along

the trail, which bypasses the Lane of Pain to the top of the ridge. “I got off my bike, picked it up and held it above my head to look bigger,” Dietrich said. “I started yelling, and I slammed my bike down hoping that the cat would run away, but it was unfazed.” Dietrich even tried throwing a rock, but with no success. The biker and the big cat stood less than 50 yards apart, looking at one another, for two or three minutes. Finally Dietrich, who didn’t want to turn his back on the mountain lion, said he began to

back down the trail while keeping his bike in front of him. He lost sight of the mountain lion, and when he felt he was a safe distance away, Dietrich said, he jumped on his bike and rode back down the trail. “I think he was as surprised to see me as I was to see him,” Dietrich said. “On my way down, I warned other riders that he was up there.” Jim Haskins, area wildlife manager for the Colorado Division of Wildlife, said it’s very unusual to have a face-to-face encounter with a mountain lion.

wrote in the initial report that Moore, driving a 2004 Honda Civic south on Colorado Highway 131, crossed into the northbound lane. There he hit a 1995 Ford Aerostar van, driven by a 66-year-old Yampa man, James Goggin. Goggin apparently was not wearing a seatbelt, and medical crews transported him to Yampa Valley Medical Center with serious injuries. Goggin later was transported to a hospital in Denver with serious, but not life-threatening injuries,

Bagley said. Moore was declared dead at the scene. The driver of a 2008 Toyota Cruiser following the van drove off the road to avoid the accident, and nobody in that car was injured, Bagley reported. There were no passengers in either of the cars involved in the crash. Bagley said the crash was 1 to 2 miles north of Toponas near mile marker 36. Moore was wearing a seatbelt and was not ejected from the car, Ryg said.

No new policy for 131 plowing �� Service on South Routt road to remain same as past 25 years Zach Fridell

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

The Colorado Department of Transportation will continue to plow Colorado Highway 131 at the same levels as the past 25 years, officials said Tuesday. The only change is a set of new signs announcing the policy. CDOT’s Region 3 Transpor tation Director Weldon Allen said crews will continue to clear Colo. 131 north of Yampa as they have in years past. “Nothing has changed,” he said. “It’s the same policy we’ve had. We’re not reducing service.” Allen said the policy was “clarified” in December to include signs at major intersections announcing the policy. That policy calls for 24-hour snow removal on all highways

Stocks: We’re starting small, hoping it grows Auction continued from 11 “All of the bigger art towns have an art auction, and we just thought it was time for Steamboat. … Since it’s a slow time, we thought we’d just have an auction,” Stocks said. Wild Horse Gallery co-owner Richard Galusha said he and Stocks have considered organizing an auction before. “We’ve been thinking about it for a couple of years, and thought, you know, this is the opportune time to do it, when we’re in the down season. That way we’re not competing against our other seasons,” Galusha said.

An auction gives artists an outlet and potential buyers for their work, and collectors a chance to move pieces or pick up new ones, Galusha said. Stocks sent auction information e-mails to past clients — many of them out-of-town residents — and to every contact she had, she said. Stocks and Galusha plan to see how the first auction goes and said they would consider growing the event to include a larger silent auction with more works by artists around the country and pieces from private collections that are being sold on consignment. “We’re starting small and

hoping it grows into something bigger,” Stocks said. Wild Horse Gallery’s former location at Sheraton Steamboat Resort, near Steamboat Ski Area, closed in April. Much of the inventory from that space is now at the downtown location, which opened at 802 Lincoln Ave. in summer 2008. The gallery’s lease on the base area location was up, and Stocks and Galusha didn’t think it made financial sense to continue operating two locations, Stocks said. — To reach Margaret Hair, call 871-4204 or e-mail mhair@steamboatpilot.com.

have the opportunity to live in Steamboat.” Commissioner Diane Mitsch Bush, who represents the Steamboat Springs area, voted against sending the letter. She said she felt the letter was drafted too hastily and that there are some things that still need to be addressed in the annexation agreement. A small group of residents who attended the commissioners’ hearing Tuesday felt the same. Jack White, president of the Community Alliance of the Yampa Valley, said the organization “definitely supports Steamboat 700,” but also submitted a letter with a list of concerns. The letter suggests revisions to the annexation agreement and further study of issues including affordable housing, water, transportation and traffic issues, revenue neutrality and sustainability.

“This is our time now to make this work for the whole community,” White said. “This is going to benefit the community; this whole project is. But this is not the time to be supporting the annexation agreement because there’s too much missing in it. It’s going to affect us all for a very long time.” Many of the concerns expressed by residents and Mitsch Bush related to Steamboat 700’s community housing plan. To satisfy the WSSAP’s requirement that 20 percent of housing be made affordable to residents earning an average of 80 percent of the area median income, Steamboat 700 is being asked to donate 12.5 acres to the city and institute a real estate transfer tax of 0.5 percent. A city analysis predicts that, in one scenario, the transfer tax would generate $8 million throughout 25 years and, when combined with the land dedication, create 409 units housing

1,649 people, with an average AMI of 78 percent. That would satisfy the WSSAP requirement. Resident Catherine Carson, however, said she has concerns with the assumptions underlying the projections and asked that Steamboat 700 increase its land dedication to a minimum of 14 acres. Steamboat 700 Principal and Project Manager Danny Mulcahy said 12.5 acres was an amount negotiated with the city, and he noted the flexibility of the affordable housing plan to meet changing needs throug the years.

Oak Creek resident John Dahlin, 30, reportedly was hiking with his wife and one other person about 5 miles up the trail on Pyramid Peak when he fell, Rio Blanco dispatcher and spokesman Mike Cook said. Pyramid Peak is about 14 miles west of Yampa in Rio Blanco County, near the Routt County line, in the Routt National Forest. Search and Rescue teams from Rio Blanco and Routt counties were notified of the

accident, but before they could arrive on scene, a helicopter and paramedic team from Global Geophysical Services, which was in the area doing survey work, rescued Dahlin. The Global Geophysical team transferred Dahlin to a smaller medical helicopter at a lower elevation. The initial reports said Dahlin hurt his leg and was going in and out of consciousness, but Cook said Dahlin was reported in stable condition Tuesday.

“From what I hear, the cyclist did just about everything right,” Haskins said. “You don’t want to run away because a mountain lion will see you as prey.” Dietrich, who has a degree in wildlife management and is an avid bow hunter, said he has seen signs of mountain lions on Emerald Mountain in the past, including tracks on the backside of a mountain lion kill. But this was his first encounter with the real deal. Haskins said it would not be

uncommon to see a mountain lion anywhere in the county and that most mountain bike trails and hiking trails lead into areas populated by mountain lions and bears. Haskins said anyone who ventures out on local trails might encounter wildlife. Haskins said bear encounters are more common, because bears come closer to human populations when scavenging for food in trash cans. Mountain lions tend to avoid human contact, he said. Haskins recommends making a little noise when riding

and hiking in the backcountry. People who encounter a mountain lion or bear, Haskins said, should try to look big. If wearing a coat, open it up and stand tall. He said to avoid looking into a mountain lion’s eyes, because the big cat might mistake the look as an act of aggression. Haskins also said people should never turn their back on the animal or try to run. “The cat was beautiful, and I got to see it up close and personal,” Dietrich said. “I just tried not to freak out, and I tried to keep my composure.”

Only 2 teachers absent Absences continued from 6 “I worry every day, but I don’t think closing schools is the solution for us,” she said, adding that such a measure had little success nationwide last year when the spread of swine flu made news across the country. In his 11 years at the middle school, Bishop said, Tuesday was the highest number of students absent at one time. “I don’t know what it means because the normal flu we get each year, we’ve not even begun to enter that season yet,” he said. “So I’m definitely curious and wary of the winter months to see how this works out.” Bishop added that the school is being more vigilant in its efforts to curb the spread of illness. Staff members are encouraging students to wash their hands and use hand sanitizer frequently, are sanitizing doorknobs and railings and have begun looking at the ventilation system, he said. And with only 11 of the 39

seventh-grade football players at school Tuesday, and the coach home sick, the after school game was canceled, Bishop said. He said the eighth-grade team played with only 12 players. Bishop said the school has been fortunate with only two teachers absent Tuesday. He expects to see the same number today. Cunningham said that while the countywide group initially set the 30 percent threshold for entire districts, not individual schools, members will apply the threshold specifically to Steamboat Springs Middle School given the number of absent students. Until Monday, Cunningham said the middle school’s absentee average was between 4 and 5 percent, typical for this time of year. She said the absentee rate at Soda Creek and Strawberry Park elementary schools and Steamboat Springs High School was slightly elevated, at about 8 percent.

Governor targets water policy Steven K. Paulson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter says western states must work together on water issues if the region is to continue to grow. Ritter told the Western States Water Council, the Colorado Department of Natural Resources and the Western Governor’s Association that western states need to work with local communities to ensure water is available before new development projects are approved. Ritter said 19 states and 30 million people rely on water from Colorado and that states need to work together or face serious water shortages during the next few decades. “You have to engage towns, cities and communities to consider how they grow. Water use planning and land use planning

have got to go together,” Ritter told the conference Tuesday. The council is an organization of representatives appointed by the governors of 18 western states. The purposes are to promote cooperation, development and management of water resources. The theme of the meeting is “Water and Land Use Planning for a Sustainable Future.” Roderick Walston, a water attorney from California, said previous water planning focused on quantity and quality, but California has now integrated those plans with land use planning and development. He said the issue is how to enforce it and how much power gets left to local government. “This will be the future of the West,” he told the conference. “Should the courts make the ultimate call, or is it better to do it at the administrative level?” He also said lawmakers have

to decide whether to allow the government to reject projects that don’t comply with water plans. Sandy Fabritz-Whitney, assistant director of water management for the Arizona Department of Water Resources, said the question is whether to regulate water policies from the top down or leave it to local governments. She said western states need to track their water use and determine how much they really need. “We don’t know how much water we’re using,” she said. Brian Walsh, of the Washington state Department of Ecology, said his state has a long history of water planning and regulation, but some areas of the state still balk at water planning.

As a suspected al-Qaida operative pleaded not guilty Tuesday to plotting a bomb attack in New York, the city’s police commissioner pronounced the threat neutralized and said there is nothing to fear from the defendant’s three alleged accomplices. The terrorism scheme “has been broken up,” Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said. “I see no danger emanating ... from the people involved in this investigation.” He would not elaborate, and police and federal investigators repeatedly have refused to discuss the whereabouts of the three people who are suspected of helping Afghan immigrant Najibullah Zazi buy beauty supplies for use in brewing up explosives. But former federal prosecutor Harry Sandick said the investigators’ silence might mean the accomplices have left the country or are secretly cooperating. Zazi, 24, is the only suspect publicly identified in what Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Knox called a conspiracy that was “international in scope.” Prosecutors said Zazi received al-Qaida explosives training in Pakistan last year and may have intended to carry out his attack on the anniversary of 9/11. Zazi, heavily bearded and wearing a blue jail smock, never spoke and showed no emotion as his lawyer entered a not guilty plea to conspiracy in a Brooklyn courtroom guarded by a team of deputy marshals. He was ordered held without bail.

Senate committee rejects federal health insurance WASHINGTON

In a long-anticipated showdown, liberal Democrats

AROUND THE NATION twice failed Tuesday to inject a government-run insurance option into sweeping health care legislation taking shape in the Senate, despite bipartisan agreement that private insurers must change their ways. The two votes marked a victory for Montana Democrat Max Baucus, the Senate Finance Committee chairman, who is hoping to push his middle-of-the-road measure through the panel by week’s end. It also kept alive the possibility that at least one Republican may yet swing behind the overhaul, a key goal of Baucus and the White House. The developments occurred as Democrats in the House sought savings to reduce their companion legislation to roughly $900 billion in a decade, the price tag President Barack Obama has suggested.

Hospitals use drive-thrus to treat swine flu patients Fast-food places have them. Banks and pharmacies do, too. Now hospitals are opening drive-thrus and drive-up tent clinics to screen and treat a swelling tide of H1N1 flu patients. The idea behind these efforts is to keep coughing, feverish people out of regular emergency rooms, where they can infect heart attack victims and other very sick patients. The need has soared in recent weeks as flu has spread among schoolchildren before the vaccine is available. In Austin, Texas, Dell Children’s Medical Center had nearly 400 ER visits Sunday alone, mostly kids with swine flu. Dozens were diverted to two tents outside, and there are plans to add a third.

Senate’s climate bill is tougher than House bill WASHINGTON

Senate Democrats are pushing for a 20 percent cut in greenhouse gases by 2020 — deeper than what the House has passed and what President Barack Obama wants — according to a long-awaited bill that will test how serious the U.S. is about slowing global warming. The Democratic bill is to be released today by the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee with a vote by the panel likely in late October. House Democrats could win passage of only a 17 percent emission cut by 2020 and Obama originally had sought only a 14 percent cut. However, aides who worked on the Senate version said it includes measures that will make the Senate’s target easier to achieve and cheaper for consumers. The bill remains subject to change. But the overall carbon reduction requirements are expected to stand. Although there would be an overall emission cap, polluters would be able to purchase emission allowances to limit reductions.

Consumer confidence falls in September, survey finds NEW YORK

Concerns that consumers won’t help drive a speedy and strong economic recovery only escalated Tuesday after an influential barometer of confidence fell unexpectedly in September. The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence survey showed worries about job security seem to be offsetting any enthusiasm about rising home values and stocks. “Last year, consumers were shellshocked as they worried about what might happen to the economy,” said Mark Vitner, senior economist at Wells Fargo. “Today, shoppers ... don’t have the means to step up spending.” The Conference Board, a private research group, said its confidence index dipped to 53.1 in September, down from a revised 54.5 in August. Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected a reading of 57.

NORDIC COMBINED

Lodwick, Demong cycling in offseason John Meyer

THE DENVER POST

Nordic combined athletes always have been experts at cross-training, given that opportunities to go ski jumping and cross-country skiing are limited most of the year. But an increasing emphasis on road cycling has helped make the U.S. team the best in the world. I’m not suggesting that’s the primary reason Todd Lodwick and Bill Demong are world champions heading into an Olympic year. Both are determined, experienced athletes at the peak of their careers. But like many of us, these two strong Olympic medal contenders have discovered cycling pays tremendous dividends for endurance athletes no matter what their primary sport. They have spent much of their recent summers on road bikes and enjoyed it so much that coach Dave Jarrett scheduled a July training camp in France. There, his skiers got to watch the Tour de France and do some mountain climbs of their own while riding 90 to 110 miles a day. Demong has raced in domestic stage races, such as the Tour of Gila in New Mexico and the Tour of Utah, so he was especially fascinated by what he saw of the tour. “It’s probably the most addicting sport in the world,” Demong said. “You get dropped, you have good days and bad days, and you keep coming back for more. You could do the equivalent of a marathon and much more, and still wake up and do it again the next day. With running marathons, I push myself to the limit, and the next month, I barely walk.” Like Demong, Lodwick calls cycling “addicting.” The Steamboat Springs native See Cycling, page 29

Pinch-hitter Chris Iannetta hit a two-run homer off David Weathers in the 11th inning to give the Colorado Rockies a 7-5 victory against the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night. Iannetta sent a 3-2 fastball into the Rockies’ bullpen in right-center for his 16th homer and first career game-ending drive. The Rockies widened their

National League wild-card lead to three games against Atlanta with five games remaining. The crowd of 39,087, pretty big for a Tuesday night in downtown Denver, let loose a loud cheer when the Braves’ 5-4 loss to the Marlins was announced on the scoreboard in the middle of the sixth. And there was a collective groan when light-hitting Jason Kendall hit a three-run homer off closer Huston Street with one out in the ninth to tie it at 5.

Matt Belisle (3-1), the seventh Rockies pitcher, picked up the win with a 1-2-3 11th. Weathers (4-6) walked Brad Hawpe and got pinch-hitter Jason Giambi to pop out before Iannetta connected. Jason Marquis gave up two earned runs and six hits in six innings, and was in line for his career-high 16th win before Street absorbed his second blown save of the season. Kendall, who entered with one homer on the year, drove

a 0-1 slider from Street into the tunnel in left. Street had been perfect in 15 save chances at Coors Field this season. Marquis again struggled to throw his sinker for strikes early in the count, but he got three double plays, twice with the bases loaded. The bullpen got seven straight outs after he left. Matt Daley pitched a perfect seventh, Rafael Betancourt struck out the side in the eighth and Street struck out his first See Rockies, page 29

clinch the American League wild-card berth with their next win or the next Texas loss. The Rangers played at the Los Angeles Angels later Tuesday night. The Red Sox scored five times with two outs in the eighth inning to cut a six-run deficit to 8-7, but Jason Frasor got the

last four outs for his 11th save. Jose Bautista hit the first pitch of the game high over the Green Monster, Aaron Hill singled on the second pitch he saw and then Lind hit a 1-2 pitch from Clay Buchholz to center for another homer. Lyle Overbay walked and scored on Travis Snider’s single to give the Blue Jays a 4-0 lead after onehalf inning for the second night in a row.

The Blue Jays led 8-2 when Kevin Youkilis hit an RBI double, David Ortiz hit the wall of the Red Sox bullpen for another run-scoring double and J.D.

By then, Phil Mickelson blew past everyone and won by three shots. “I was a little surprised at Tiger,” Palmer said Tuesday at his Bay Hill Club. “If you just watch him like I do — and I’ve watched him since he was a little guy — just the way he walks, the way he holds himself, it amazed me he didn’t win. That was my reaction.” And then came a bigger surprise. Did he ever imagine seeing

COMMENTARY — GOLF two fierce rivals posing on the 18th green while holding their own trophy? Palmer threw his head back and laughed. “No, but that’s good,” he said. “I did think about that. I just didn’t put it that context.” Sunday at East Lake presented a bizarre scene when Mickelson rallied to win the Tour Championship and Woods did enough on the back nine to capture the FedEx Cup. The PGA Tour could not have asked for a better finish to its FedEx Cup. Golf is at its most interesting when Woods and Mickelson are on top of their games. The question is how long this will last. The next time Woods and Mickelson play against each other — assuming they aren’t partners in the Presidents Cup

— is scheduled to be the HSBC Championship in Shanghai the first week of November. The better barometer will be in 2010. The way he won and the player he beat must have made Mickelson wish that next year started next week. He had been hitting the ball well enough to contend just about every week. His driving — higher launch, less spin, straighter than ever — was superb at East Lake. The problem was his putting, which was so bad that Mickelson asked his caddie for suggestions. Jim “Bones” MacKay jumped at the chance. “Bones came up with the idea,” Mickelson said. “I said, ‘Bones, for two years I’ve been kind of floundering here, not having the right direction. I want you to think about it.’ He came back the next day and he said, ’I think you should call Dave Stockton.”’

�� Vikings prepare for ‘Packer week’ ��

ABC was considering postponing the popular “Dancing with the Stars” show Monday to avoid losing too many viewers to partner network ESPN. “Everyone will be watching the Monday night game,” Winfield said. This is NFL-style hype at its highest form. “It will be ridiculous. I love it,” guard Anthony Herrera said, adding: “It’s personal for Brett. It’s personal for us. They’re going to come after him.” Coach Brad Childress often acknowledges his players aren’t living “in a vacuum” when he’s asked about the importance of maintaining focus in the face of adversity or distraction. He’s right: They live — at least during the season — in Minnesota, where during a crowded weekend of notable sporting events there’s no question what game is on every fan’s mind. With Favre’s 16 prolific years throwing passes for the Packers and departure on bad terms last summer, the intrigue has ratch-

eted up. It stretches well beyond the Upper Midwest, too. “It’s a Monday game and obviously people are going to be excited for that,” linebacker Chad Greenway said. “Obviously Brett playing Green Bay is going to be the biggest headline. We’re aware of all those things that go on. We hear about it every day. We’ve just got to maintain a level of consistency as far as the way we practice and prepare. We have a pretty veteran locker room here, and I think that’s going to help us out this week.” Leber was asked whether he anticipated a pep talk from Childress about the importance of maintaining focus. “I don’t really think he needs to,” Leber said. “I think everybody knows what’s at stake, and more importantly we’re on a roll right now. I know that we want to go out and fight for Brett and get a win for him, but at the same time we want to be 4-0. It’s been a huge motivation for us to be 4-0 and just keep this streak going. That’s our main concern.”

For the Minnesota Vikings, a Monday night matchup against the Green Bay Packers is about as big as a regular season game gets. “All you’ve got to do around here is say Packer week, and everybody gets excited,” cornerback Antoine Winfield said. When they’re playing for first place in the NFC North at the quarter mark on the schedule, well, the intensity will only increase. When Brett Favre happens to be the Vikings’ new quarterback, the public interest in this rivalry is on the verge of explosion. “I have no idea what you’re talking about. It’s just a regular game to me,” linebacker Ben Leber said. He kept his straight face for, oh, a few seconds. “This is probably the most anticipated game I think, for a regular season game, that I’ve ever been a part of,” Leber said. Winfield claimed he heard

Helton’s RBI double chases Narveson hitter and looked well on his way to his 35th save in 36 chances. But after getting ahead of Mike Cameron 0-2, he threw four straight balls, then served up a single to J.J. Hardy before Kendall’s homer. Milwaukee left-hander Chris Narveson (2-1) baffled all of the Rockies except Todd Helton, who hit a run-scoring single in the first inning and chased him with an RBI double in the sixth that tied it at 2. Helton’s double into the right-field alley followed Ryan Spilborghs’ double down the

left-field line and prompted Milwaukee manager Ken Macha to lift his rookie, who was charged with three runs and five hits in five-plus innings. Todd Coffey gave up a single to Troy Tulowitzki and a walk to pinch-hitter Ian Stewart before Yorvit Torrealba’s sacrifice fly to center put the Rockies ahead 3-2. Brad Hawpe hit a routine ground ball to second baseman Felipe Lopez, but Stewart avoided the tag, allowing another run to score, and slid safety into second when Lopez overthrew shortstop J.J. Hardy for an error that sent Stewart to third.

Helton also hit into a double play that scored another run to make it 5-2 in the seventh. Marquis struggled with his sinker during his previous seven starts, and with batters laying off his signature pitch, he had to come at them with sliders and fastballs, and they teed off. That’s what happened for three innings against Milwaukee. In the first, Lopez singled and Ryan Braun doubled off the right-field wall. After intentionally walking Prince Fielder, Marquis got Casey McGehee to ground into an inning-ending double play.

Jays’ Lind has 1st career 3-homer game hit three at Fenway Park since Thomas did it for the Chicago White Sox in 1996. In his fifth plate appearance, Lind was hit on the right elbow by Jonathan Papelbon. Notes: It was the first threehomer game allowed by the Red Sox since 2004. ... Millar had been 3 for 31 heading into the game. ... Red Sox 3B Mike Lowell, who received a shot for his ailing hip Monday, will take batting practice today and return to the lineup Thursday if all goes well. ... Lind also had two homers Saturday against Seattle. ... Toronto leads the majors with 42 homers in September.

Lodwick: Cycling offers ‘great training’ considers it a great component in summer training because it allows skiers to keep a consistently high heart rate for long periods without the trauma long runs inflict on the legs. And it’s fun. “I can travel 55 miles around Steamboat, make a loop and see a ton of stuff,” said Lodwick, 32. “It’s done before you know it, and I’ve logged three and a half hours of great training. It builds unbelievable leg strength. We started doing intervals on the bike, being able to build the lactate to a point where it’s painful, but that’s a good thing.” Demong, 29, thinks bike racing in the offseason can extend the longevity of his ski career. “It gives me an outlet to train hard in the offseason,” Demong said, “without having to go for a run just to go for a run.” In France the team rode the Cormet de Roselend, the Col de la Madeleine, the Col du Petit San Bernard, the Col de Les Saises and the famed Alpe d’Huez. Most of their rides

followed ski jump sessions at Courchevel. Cycling fans who watched tour telecasts may recall seeing a crazy man in an orange John Elway jersey running and cheering alongside Norwegian rider Thor Hushovd near Les Saises. That was Jarrett. Plenty of folks watching back home recognized him. “Next thing you know, phones were ringing, ‘Dude, was that you?’” Lodwick

recalled. “It was pretty funny.” What wasn’t so funny was the crash Lodwick had later that day while riding back to Albertville. When a car slammed on its brakes in front of him, Lodwick swerved and collided head-on with an oncoming car. “I bruised my hip pretty good, but all in all, I don’t know how I came out of that (otherwise) unscathed,” Lodwick said.

two runs on seven hits and a walk, striking out three in five innings to beat Boston for the first time in five tries this season. He had been 0-3 with an 8.83 ERA against the Red Sox this year. Buchholz (7-4) allowed seven runs on eight hits — five of them homers — while walking one and striking out four in five innings. He had been 6-0 2.44 ERA in his previous eight starts and had given up just one homer in his previous six starts. Dustin Pedroia snapped a 1for-16 skid with two singles and a double. He hit a line drive to

the center field warning track with one out and one on in the ninth, then Victor Martinez walked before — with policemen lining up in the aisles in case of a celebration — Youkilis was called out on a 3-2 pitch to end the game. Kevin Millar, the clubhouse jester of Boston’s 2004 World Series title, had a homer, double and single for Toronto, and Aaron Hill hit his 36th of the season. Lind also homered in the fifth and seventh innings for the first three-homer game of his career. He is the first Blue Jay to hit three homers in a game since Frank Thomas in 2007, and the first Red Sox opponent to
