The Northwest Colorado Board of Cooperative Educational Services has a nearly $317,000 deficit in its 2008-09 budget and is asking its member districts to pick up the tab.

vided during the 2008-09 school year. It also told the districts that costs for services this year were going up by a total of more than $382,000. Hayden Superintendent Greg Rockhold said his first thought was, “Are you kidding me?” “I was very, very shocked,” he said. “I was very taken aback that all the planning for this year was thrown out the window with that news.” Northwest Colorado BOCES is a cooperative agency that pro-

vides state-mandated services for special education to six regional school districts. It also provides a number of additional shared services and resources for those districts. “It’s a pretty tough position as BOCES is dependent on the school districts for funding,” BOCES Executive Director Jane Toothaker said. “We don’t have any reserves left. Those are depleted.” With 2010 school district budgets already set and pend-

ing approval later this year, Rockhold, other superintendents and district finance staff said finding additional money may prove challenging or even impossible. Dale Mellor, finance director for the Steamboat Springs School District, said he wouldn’t even know where to look for that money in the district’s budget. He said it would be difficult to cut from a budget in which 86 See Funds, page 14

Children in lessons will be required to wear helmets this year STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Intrawest, the parent company of Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp., is tightening the rules and increasing awareness about helmet use at its resorts this year. Intrawest will recommend this ski season that all skiers and snowboarders wear helmets at its resorts, and it will require helmets for children and some teens in ski and snowboard school programs, according to a Thursday news release. All students participating in freestyle terrain parks will be required to wear a helmet. At Steamboat Ski Area, helmets already were required for

terrain park classes. Under the new Intrawest rules, the resort will require students ages 15 and younger to wear helmets, Ski Corp. spokeswoman Loryn Kasten said. “We’ve always kind of had helmets on the brain, no pun intended, as far as a safety message and a safety initiative,” she said. Instructors teaching classes with helmet requirements also must wear helmets, Kasten said. Intrawest is implementing that policy companywide for the 2010-11 season. Intrawest’s news release stated that the helmet would be included in the ski school packages, but Kasten said the resort hadn’t worked out those details. Ski area officials

��

are meeting this afternoon for more discussions, she said. “Obviously, it’s going to have an impact on a lot of facets of our organization, and we’re still trying to get those in line,” Kasten said. The company also will increase the focus on helmet use in its graphics and advertisements, according to the release. “Intrawest is working in conjunction with the ski industry to establish important best practices on behalf of our resort guests and employees,” said Bill Jensen, chief executive officer at Intrawest. Kasten said Ski Corp. would increase helmet publicity in line with Intrawest’s policies.

The co-principals at Strawberry Park Elementary School, and Steamboat Springs School District Superintendent Shalee Cunningham, will fill in at Soda Creek Elementary School during an extended absence for Principal Judy Harris. Harris sent an e-mail Tuesday to parents to inform them that she would be away from the school for treatment after her recent breast cancer diagnosis. “I am doing very well, have a great prognosis and am ready to begin a series of treatments with this first step,” she wrote. Harris couldn’t be reached for comment. Cunningham said Strawberry Park co-principals Celia Dunham and Michele Miller would mostly split principal duties at Soda Creek.

Harris won’t be checking her voicemail or email while she’s away, but Dunham and Miller will address those messages during her absence. Harris wrote that she hopes to be back during the week of Oct. 12. “We have a fun dance sponsored by our (Parent Information Committee) on Thursday, Oct. 15, and I plan to have my disco dancing shoes on by then!” she wrote.

Cunningham said she would serve as their backup and fill in if Dunham and Miller had conflicts or were needed at Strawberry Park. Dunham said she and Miller split time spending half days at Soda Creek this week but likely would spend full days at the school next week. Dunham said she and Miller met with Harris before she left to figure out what’s going on in the building but that they weren’t entirely unfamiliar. “The principals of the two elementary schools work closely together all the time,” she said. “We know about each other’s buildings.

COMMENTARY

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

On Safire Maureen Dowd

THE NEW YORK TIMES

WASHINGTON

During the Clinton impeachment circus, I walked by William Safire’s lair. He had an imposing office in “murderers’ row,” as he dubbed the hall where we worked, full of English antiques, Oriental rugs and a couple of old ties he kept for those rare moments when he needed one. He was sitting in an armchair reading that bodice-ripping best seller, The Starr Report. Dowd “There’s a word here I don’t know,” said The New York Times’ wordsmith. “What is a thong?” I flushed and stammered that it was a scanty panty with a string for the back. His hazel eyes glinted with curiosity.

Trying to elucidate, I blurted: “Maybe you’re thinking of thong sandals, where thong is an adjective. With Monica, it’s used as a noun.” He smiled. “It’s like a G-string,” he said. “That brings back memories of some clubs I went to as a young man in Union City, N.J.” Bill Safire was anything but a nattering nabob of negativity. He had none of the vile and vitriol of today’s howling pack of conservative pundits: Limbaugh, Beck, Coulter and Malkin. Even though we disagreed on the Iraq war, he chastised me only once about it, for writing that Cheney & Co. had shoehorned all their “meshugas” about Saddam’s WMD and al-Qaida links into Colin Powell’s U.N. speech. “Mishegoss,” he wrote in his language column, would have been a better spelling of the word. One of my proudest moments was when I proved to him that “jade” could

be a noun referring to a woman, citing Edith Wharton’s “The Gods Arrive.” He walked with a Walter Matthau shamble, and he always dressed down in tweeds, earth tones and Hush Puppies. But there was a natural elegance about the guy. Married to the gorgeous English rose Helene, he was a man who loved women; his novels, even the one about the founding fathers, were full of zesty sex scenes. He told me the story about how when Barbara Walters worked for him at the famous New York PR company of Tex McCrary, back in the “Mad Men” era, he wanted to loosen up Barbara, who was very serious. So one Christmas he gave her a sheer black shorty nightgown with matching panties. “Today, I would have had to take See Dowd, page 9

More liberal lies about national health care Ann Coulter

UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

America’s low ranking on international comparisons of infant mortality proves other countries’ socialist health care systems are better than ours. America has had a comparatively high infant mortality rate since we’ve been measuring these things, going back to at least the ’20s. This was the case long before European countries adopted their cradle-tograve welfare schemes, Coulter all while the U.S. was the wealthiest country. One factor contributing to the U.S.’s infant mortality rate is that blacks have intractably high infant mortality rates — irrespective of age, education, socioeconomic status and so on. No one knows why.

MALLARD FILLMORE

Neither medical care nor discrimination can explain it: Hispanics in the U.S. have lower infant mortality rates than either blacks or whites. Give Switzerland or Japan our ethnically diverse population and see how they stack up on infant mortality rates. Even with a higher-risk population, the alleged differences in infant mortality are negligible. We’re talking about seven infant deaths per 1,000 live births in the U.S. compared to five deaths per 1,000 for Britain and Canada. This is a rounding error — perhaps literally when you consider that the U.S. tabulates every birth, even in poor, small and remote areas, while other countries are not always so meticulous. But the international comparisons in “infant mortality” rates aren’t comparing the same thing, anyway. We also count every baby who shows any sign of life, irrespective of size or weight at birth.

By contrast, in much of Europe, babies born before 26 weeks’ gestation are not considered “live births.” Switzerland only counts babies who are at least 30 centimeters long (11.8 inches) as being born alive. In Canada, Austria and Germany, only babies weighing at least a pound are considered live births. And of course, in Milan, it’s not considered living if the baby isn’t born within driving distance of the Côte d’Azur. By excluding the little guys, these countries have simply redefined about one-third of what we call “infant deaths” in America as “miscarriages.” Moreover, many industrialized nations, such as France, Hong Kong and Japan — the infant mortality champion — don’t count infant deaths that occur within 24 hours after birth. Almost half of infant deaths in the U.S. See Coulter, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

him to Human Resources,” she recalled dryly. “But then, I loved it.” When he learned that my mom shared his love of weird head meats, he would buy tongue sandwiches from Loeb’s Deli to send home to her. He had a rough time with his transition from the Nixon White House to The Times. He told me that many of the liberal reporters stiffed him for the first couple of years until he dove into a pool to save a drowning child at an office party. When I became his “colleague in columny,” as he called me, we shared a bathroom, and I teased him for being the one who kept hair spray there. He always had interesting advice. “Put a phone in your office that doesn’t go through the switchboard,” he told me. If White House officials

wouldn’t call you back, leave them a single-word message about what you wanted to talk about: “Malfeasance.” I saw him having lunch once in the ’80s with Bert Lance, the former Carter official. I asked him afterward why he was hanging out with the Georgian he had eviscerated; his columns on Lance’s irregular banking practices had won him a Pulitzer Prize in 1978 and lost Lance his job. “Only hit people when they’re up,” he told me. The only time I ever saw a shred of doubt was after the famous dust-up when he wrote that Hillary Clinton, then the first lady, was “a congenital liar.” A congenital pot-stirrer, he acted delighted with Bill Clinton’s subsequent threat to punch him in the nose. But, as a famous expert on etymology, he must have known he had used the wrong word. Congenital usually connotes a condition existing at birth. Was

that really what he intended? Shortly after that happened, I went into his office to talk to him. He wasn’t there, but I noticed a piece of paper on a table on which he’d written two words: “chronic” and “habitual.” A rare case of Safire second thoughts. He would have appreciated the fact that his obits ran on Yom Kippur. He had a famous dinner every year at his home in Chevy Chase, Md., to break the fast that gathered many of the city’s most influential players. Curious, I pestered him for years for an invite. He patiently explained it was just for Jews or people who were, or had been, married to Jews. After years of pleading that I had Jewish boyfriends and that I would one day find a Jewish husband, he broke down and let me come. He was a mensch. And that’s no mishegoss.

Congress uses numbers to mislead public Coulter continued from 8 occur in the first day. But members of Congress, such as Reps. Dennis Kucinich, Jim Moran and John Olver, have all cited the U.S.’s relatively poor ranking in infant mortality among developed nations as proof that our medical care sucks. This is despite the fact in many countries a baby born the size of Dennis Kucinich would not be considered a live birth. Apart from the fact that we count — and try to save — all our babies, infant mortality is among the worst measures of a nation’s medical care because so much of it is tied to lifestyle choices, such as the choice to have children out of wedlock, as teenagers or while addicted to crack. The main causes of infant mortality — aside from major birth defects — are prematurity and low birth-weight. And the main causes of low birth-weight are: smoking,

illegitimacy and teenage births. Americans lead most of the developed world in all three. Although we have a lot more low birth-weight and premature babies for demographic and lifestyle reasons, at-risk newborns are more likely to survive in America than anywhere else in the world. Japan, Norway and the othser countries with better infant mortality rates would see them go through the roof if they had to deal with the same pregnancies that American doctors do. As Nicholas Eberstadt demonstrates in his book “The Tyranny of Numbers: Mismeasurement and Misrule,” American hospitals do so well with low birth-weight babies that if Japan had our medical care with their low birth-weight babies, another third of their babies would survive. But I think it’s terrific that liberals are finally willing to start looking at outcomes to judge a

system. I say we start right away with the public schools. In international comparisons, American 12th-graders rank in the 14th percentile in math and the 29th percentile in science. The U.S. outperformed only Cyprus and South Africa in general math and science knowledge. Worse, Asian countries didn’t participate in the last 12th-grade assessment tests. Imagine how much worse our public schools would look if we allowed other countries to exclude one-half of their worst performers. That’s exactly what liberals are doing when they tout America’s rotten infant mortality rate compared to other countries. They look for any category that makes our medical care look worse than the rest of the world — and then neglect to tell us that the rest of the world counts our premature and low birth-weight babies as “miscarriages.”

Plea deal has judge unhappy Woman accused of embezzling would receive no jail time

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The Craig woman accused of embezzling more than $30,000 from a Steamboat Springs realty company reached an agreement to keep her out of jail, but District Judge Shelly Hill said she’s not happy with the arrangement. Lori Wagner, 27, was arrested July 23 and charged with theft of more Wagner than $30,000 from her employer, Axis West Realty. On Thursday, she pleaded guilty to a charge of attempted theft, a Class 4 felony. During the arraignment hearing in district court, 14th Judicial District Deputy Attorney Rusty Prindle said the plea agreement would include two years of supervised probation, a deferred judgment after two years, 48 hours of community service and full restitution to be paid at the time of sentencing. Prindle said the restitution would total $35,000. There was no fine as part of the agreement. “I’m not terribly crazy about this plea agreement, folks,” Judge Hill said. “I’ve had several embezzlements before me of late, and I’m not terribly crazy about the no jail sentence agreement.” Hill said she would allow the agreement to go forward, pending a pre-sentencing report, but she may reject it later. “If, in fact, I reject the plea agreement, I will certainly allow Ms. Wagner to revoke her plea,” Hill said. If Wagner did revoke her guilty plea, she would be allowed to enter a plea of not guilty and proceed to trial on the original charges of theft. Prindle defended the agreement, saying that after speaking with the alleged victim in the case, he decided that an immediate restitution would be more helpful for the victim. “Our main goal, since there’s a huge amount of alleged loss by the victim in the case, was to get as much of that as we could back to the victim,” he said. Hill said she appreciated the reasoning but questioned the lack of jail time or fine. See Court, page 17

Steamboat Springs Middle School got an attendance boost Thursday. Only 94 students were absent Thursday, a significant decrease from the absence rates earlier in the week. Although that number represents 19 percent of the student body, there were far fewer absences Thursday than the 131 students who missed school Wednesday and the 151 who were out sick Tuesday. On Monday, 133 students were home sick. But it wasn’t all good news. Principal Tim Bishop was out sick Thursday. He was the only middle school faculty member to be absent. Dot Haberlan, of the Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association, said students continue to miss school with a variety of illnesses, including flu, strep throat, stomach viruses, sinus infections and head and chest colds. She said 7 percent of students at Soda Creek and Strawberry Park elementary schools were

home sick Thursday and that about 3 percent of students at Steamboat Springs High School were absent. Only one staff member at Soda Creek and two at Strawberry Park were out sick Thursday, and two staff members at the high school stayed home with sick children. Superintendent Shalee Cunningham confirmed that she and Haberlan would meet this morning with Jim Johnsen, the VNA’s emergency preparedness and response coordinator, to discuss this week’s middle school absences. Cunningham said the district still is focusing on prevention. That includes encouraging students and staff to wash their hands frequently and use hand sanitizer. The middle school also has taken measures to prevent the spread of germs, such as frequently disinfecting doorknobs and hand railings. Health officials urge parents to keep sick children home at least 24 hours after their fever is gone.

Town Council OKs 1st reading of fee Hayden draws line between rates, water loss Blythe Terrell

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

HAYDEN

Hayden’s leaders moved ahead Thursday on a water rate increase for residents. The Hayden Town Council approved the first reading of an ordinance that would raise base rates 19 percent, to $19 per month for most customers and $11.40 per month for seniors. Usage rates would not change. Town Manager Russ Martin and some council members drew a distinction between the rate increase and water system losses. Resident Gordon Dowling said he was frustrated the town would raise rates when it could be losing as much as 30 percent of its water a year, according to analyses. “This 30 percent kills me,” he said.

But Martin said the town’s water fund was in debt about $90,000 a year without tap fees. Even if 100 percent of the town’s water was accounted for, that debt still would exist, he said. Martin laid it out this way: The town produces about 100 million gallons of water a year. The production cost — without staff costs, which would be stable regardless of production — is $52,000 a year. A 30 percent water loss would cost the town $15,000 a year, Martin said. The fund still would be $75,000 in debt. Much of that comes from the $115,000-a-year loan the town is paying on the plant. As written, the rate increase would produce only $25,000 to $30,000, so the town still would have to cover the rest of gap out of its general fund. The sewer See Water fee, page 18

percent of the general fund covers staff salaries and benefits. “It’s not that we don’t want to help the BOCES out,” Mellor said. “Times are tough. For the district to come up with that money, for all the districts to come up with that money, it’s going to be difficult.” Toothaker said several factors contributed to the under-assessments. She said there were delays in reimbursements from the state and assessments below actual costs. And Toothaker said she was not getting correct information to make financial decisions. “I wasn’t getting good financial information internally,” she said. “Now I have a new finance director and feel like I’m getting good information. We’ve worked very hard over the last six months to figure out our problems with cash flow and come up with solutions for the board and superintendents. Now we can figure out what solution best fits everyone.” Toothaker declined to elaborate about BOCES’ previous finance director, citing personnel issues. When the BOCES board of directors, which includes a representative from each district’s

school board, meets Thursday, it will again discuss how to address its budget deficit from last year and the increased fees for this year. The numbers will be lower than what was presented last month because those figures included dollars to provide BOCES with reserves. School districts pay BOCES twice annually, on Oct. 15 and May 1. Rockhold said he doesn’t know how the district can afford to pay what BOCES is asking. “To pay back the BOCES for their accounting errors would create an incredible hardship for the Hayden schools,” Rockhold said. Steamboat, Hayden and South Routt all said they would consider eliminating some services they receive from BOCES, with the exception of state-mandated special education and implementing their own programs. But South

Routt Superintendent Scott Mader said the services provided by BOCES to the district are essential, such as its operation of the South Routt Early Learning Center in Yampa. He said paying for BOCES’ under-assessment of services 2008-09 and increased fees for this year would be a “difficult blow to the district’s finances,” but district officials may not have a choice. “We have to provide those services to students, and they have to be paid for,” he said. “If we have to, we have to.” Toothaker said BOCES’ focus was to get through this tough time to be financially healthy again. “We’ll continue to have a discussion about how to work out this issue,” Toothaker said. This is a cooperative educational agency, and we need to come up with a cooperative solution.”

We would like to thank each of you who provided your support and condolences to Gary Farrow and the family during this extremely difficult time in our lives. Losing Lorna has been difficult to all who knew her and loved her. Her sense of organization and her ability to solve problems will be missed by those associations which she worked so closely with, such as the Rifle Club, Women on Target, and the officers and women that she helped to train in shooting skills and gun safety. Bust of Steamboat will miss her creative ideas for fund raising and her enthusiasm for organization. Special thanks goes to Mike Curzon who did so much to make Lorna’s Celebration go so well. Maureen Hogue and Tyke Pierce who added music and song. The Shack and it’s members who supplied us with coffee and equipment. Thank you to the whole ranching and farming community that has been loyal to Farrow Repair Service since 1955 and brought such great dishes to share and visit over. All of the people who made that day run smoothly so that the family could deal with their grief and shock were so very much appreciated. A continuing ‘thank you’ to Jim and Melanie Dailey for their wonderful understanding and support of Gary as he goes through his shock each day. If we don’t know your names, please forgive us, but know that you are very much appreciated. THANK YOU. We are well aware of the tragedy of this summer in our town, losing many close friends as well as family way too soon. We must be encouraged to live each day to it’s fullest with love and understanding for our neighbors, friends, and ourselves during these times. We hope that we are all sensitive to where each person is in this process of loss. Memorial contributions may be made to Yampa Valley Breast Cancer Awareness Project, P.O.

and water systems operate in a separate fund, the enterprise fund. The ordinance also would increase the cost of tapping into the systems. Plant investment fees, or tap fees, would increase from $3,800 to $4,800 for water and from $1,900 to $2,400 for sewer. The proposed ordinance also punishes people who refuse to get new meters installed when theirs breaks. Hayden charges those customers the average rate no matter how much water they use. New rules would give people 60 days to arrange to have the meter replaced, or they’d be charged double the average rate. Council Member Jim Has-

kins suggested the town get tough and shut off the water after 120 days. “They’re stealing from the town,” he said. “To me, it’s no different than them coming and taking something off the shelf.” Martin said his staff would add that to the ordinance, which will be up for a public hearing and vote Oct. 15.

Aspen decides to end visa program The Aspen Skiing Co.’s decision not to use H2B visas to hire foreign ski and snowboard instructors has put several longtime employees in a bind, according to one of the pros affected. The instructor said the decision was made so late by Skico that it will be almost impossible for 57 pros affected by the decision to find other teaching jobs. He also questioned whether Skico was using new government regulations as a convenient excuse to end the program. Skico spokesman Jeff Hanle said the timing was “unfortunate” but not controlled by Skico. “Our hands are tied. We’re not trying to screw anybody,” Hanle said. The instructor didn’t want his name or any other identifying information used because he hopes to get a different kind of visa and return to Aspen or another resort to teach. He said he wanted to offer his perspective

after reading newspaper accounts last week about Skico’s decision on the H2B visa program. “When Skico told us that the H2B visa program was canceled, that meant that there will be no winter for all those pros,” the instructor said. “It’s almost impossible to get a job anywhere in Europe right now for us, and (it) will be a great loss, economically and personally for us.” The timing, he said, adds insult to injury. “Skico knew that you apply for a job overseas in June, not in October,” he said. Skico announced last week that the recession and a reinterpretation of immigration regulations by the U.S. Department of Labor forced its decision not to use H2B visas to import ski instructors this winter. Skico decided early in the year to reduce the number of instructors hired through the H2B visa program from 109 last season to 57 this season. However, the Labor Department announced Aug. 21 that employers using the H2B visa program must pay the transportation costs of workers.

Frontier Airlines emerges from bankruptcy

Frontier Airlines emerged from bankruptcy protection Thursday, under new ownership but still facing a tough competitive situation at its Denver base. Frontier is now a subsidiary

of Republic Airways Holdings, which beat out a bid from Southwest Airlines. Republic has said it will keep the Frontier name for its new subsidiary, and there’s no change to its frequent-flier program, so passengers are unlikely to see any difference

in the airline now that it’s out of Chapter 11 protection. Republic is looking for ways to make the operation more efficient, though, possibly including moving Frontier’s maintenance operation out of Denver.

Convictions to be reviewed using DNA technology

��

DENVER

��

DNA technology will be used in reviewing as many as 5,000 rape, murder and manslaughter cases to see whether any convictions ought to be overturned, Colorado officials announced Thursday. The 18-month Colorado Justice Review Project will be funded through a $1.2 million federal grant from the Department of Justice. In June, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that defendants convicted of crimes have no consti-

tutional right to DNA evidence that could prove their innocence. Despite that, Attorney General John Suthers, Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey, and Colorado Bureau of Investigation Director Ron Sloan said Thursday that prosecutors have an ethical duty to seek the truth and assure justice in every case. Suthers says other organizations, including the Colorado public defender office and the University of Denver law school, will be asked to help select cases for review. Cases not eligible for review are those where a person has admitted guilt or claims of innocence are based on factors determined by a jury at trial such as consent in rape cases, or selfdefense in homicides.

Palisade Principal Matt Diers has said Johnson was enrolled in a program for students who may not do well in a traditional school. He says officials learned of the alleged plan “from a couple different sources.” Johnson faces charges of criminal solicitation and interfering with an educational institution. He’s being held under $100,000 bail. Johnson’s attorney, Matthew Sandler, did not immediately return a call Thursday.

What’s playing ‘Zombieland’ Comedy, horror, R, 81 minutes

Unexpectedly funny. Jesse Eisenberg, named after his hometown of Columbus, Ohio, is making his way back home across a zombie-infested America. He encounters another non-zombie survivor, Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson). The two team up, not without many disagreements, and eventually find two healthy women: the sexy Wichita (Emma Stone) and her little sister, Little Rock (Abigail Breslin). It comes down to a road movie threatened by the undead, as countless zombies are shot, mashed, sledgehammered and otherwise inconvenienced, not without wit. Rating: ★★★

‘Surrogates’ Sci-fi, action, PG-13, 88 minutes

In the future, the human population reclines at home without moving while living vicariously through robot avatars controlled by their minds. They present themselves to the world as younger and more attractive than they really are. Bruce Willis stars as an FBI agent investigating the murder of the son of the inventor of surrogates. An intriguing premise, but it descends too quickly

Romance, drama, PG, 119 minutes

Jane Campion’s beautiful and wistful film shows John Keats and Fanny Brawne submerged blissfully in a love that exists almost entirely of their idealism.

Abbie Cornish is entrancing as a determined seamstress who supports herself, which is more than Keats can do. Rating: ★★★★

‘All About Steve’ Comedy, PG-13, 98 minutes

Michigan jam band Ultraviolet Hippopotamus plays at 10 p.m. today and Saturday at The Tugboat Grill & Pub.

UV Hippo burns up Colorado Michigan-based jam band plays at least 2 music styles at a time Margaret Hair

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The guys in Ultraviolet Hippopotamus rely on solid instrumental skills to give their long-running jam sessions a little structure. Scheduled for free shows today and Saturday at The Tugboat Grill & Pub, the sixman jam band from Grand Rapids, Mich., has been playing shows with a rotating lineup for about four years. Bassist and band founder Brian Samuels said he started Ultraviolet Hippopotamus with an idea to combine music styles that don’t traditionally share the same sheet music. “It’s definitely a wide variety of music. We do everything — rock and funk and jazz and some reggae and some electronica stuff. We try to make sure that we hit every end of the spectrum that we find entertaining, at least,” Samuels said. The mix — which has a heavy funk lean — comes from each band member’s varied influences, Samuels said. It works because UV Hippo makes sure it does, he said. “Really, it’s just been a lot of practice, I guess. We try to make sure in every song we do more than one genre,” Samuels said, adding that the band mostly is aiming to get bodies on the dance floor. “We kind of started with

that goal in mind, and then we had different members join the band, and everyone brought their own style to the table,” he said. This weekend’s shows are part of the group’s second trip through Colorado and its first visit to Steamboat Springs. The band has Samuels on bass, vocals, guitar and mandolin; Sam Guidry on guitar, vocals and bass; Joe Phillion on drums; Dave Sanders on keyboards and vocals; Casey Jones on percussion and vocals; and Russell James on guitar and vocals. UV Hippo has shared a stage with big-name acts such as George Clinton and Karl Denson. Band members list Phish, Yes and Frank Zappa among their biggest

“Love Happens” is a comedy in mourning, a romance so sad that even Jennifer Aniston at her most engaging can’t save it. Aaron Eckhart is Burke Ryan, the prototypical lonely man in need of love. He’s a motivational speaker, a guy getting rich running self-help, getover-grief seminars. His hook, the one he cashed in on with his best-seller, “A-Okay,” is simple — “My wife died.” Aniston, as Eliose, is the quirky girl who can make him love again. Whatever thin potential “Love Happens” had is utterly botched by co-writer/director Brandon Camp. Camp bogs down in the Dr. Phil side of the story — Burke’s efforts to “help” people and come to terms with his own grief. Eckhart plays “broken” for the whole movie and Aniston plays herself — as a florist. Rating: ★★ — Roger Moore, MCT

it takes steps to slow the skyrocketing growth in health care costs nationwide. Supporters said the overhaul’s cost was in the range that Obama has set, about $900 billion in a decade, and would not raise federal deficits. Gradually, health care has grown to dwarf all overs in Congress, and is causing supporters and opponents to spend more than $1 million a day on television advertising to sway the outcome.

Experts: Terror suspect could have killed scores NEW YORK

The Afghan immigrant accused of buying large quantities of hair dye and nail polish remover to make explosives had the goods to kill scores of people in New York — a devastating attack on a scale with the transit bombings in London and Madrid, according to documents and interviews with former FBI experts. Prosecutors have not said exactly what kind or number of bombs Najibullah Zazi planned to build, but court documents hint at the possibilities. It is likely he wanted to borrow a tactic used overseas by making bombs out of flour and hydrogen peroxide and putting them

Fearing a backlash, Democrats worked to smooth the impact of sweeping health care legislation on workingclass families Thursday as they pushed President Barack Obama’s top domestic priority toward a crucial Senate advance. The most far-reaching overhaul in decades aims to protect millions who have unreliable coverage or none at all and to curb insurance company abuses. Republicans attacked the bill as riddled with tax increases that violated Obama’s campaign promises but failed to remove any of them. After marathon public debate, agreement by the Senate Finance Committee is all but certain for the legislation, though no final vote was expected until next week. That formality — Democrats hold a 13-10 committee majority — will clear the way for the full Senate to begin debating the measure at mid-month. The measure, like a companion bill under construction in the House, would bar insurance companies from denying coverage or charging higher premiums on the basis of preexisting medical conditions. It also includes federal subsidies to make insurance available to millions who lack it, and

in backpacks, perhaps in the city’s transit system, experts say. The case has been described as perhaps the most serious terrorist plot uncovered in the U.S. since 9/11. However, experts said Zazi, who is being held without bail in New York, had the means to kill scores of people — not hundreds or thousands. “These explosives are meant to be concealed easily and deployed easily and kill and maim and cause havoc in small areas,” said Denny Kline, a retired FBI explosives expert. For a really big bomb, “you’re going to need a truck.” How far along Zazi managed to get is unclear. Investigators have not said whether he successfully built or tested any bombs.

Jackson autopsy shows he was mostly a healthy man LOS ANGELES

Michael Jackson’s outward appearance was marred when he died with puncture marks to his arms, surgical scars around his body and cosmetic tattoos on his lips and scalp. But internally, the pop star was in mostly fine physical shape for a 50-year-old man, according to his autopsy report obtained by The Associated Press. The Los Angeles County coroner’s report shows Jackson’s weight of 136 pounds was in the acceptable range for a 5foot-9-inch man. His heart was strong with no sign of plaque buildup.

Most serious was the condition of his lungs, which the autopsy report said were chronically inflamed and had reduced capacity that might have left him short of breath.

Suppliers face winter flu vaccine delays, cutbacks Waiting for the swine flu vaccine? Well, you might have to wait a bit longer for a seasonal flu shot, too. The biggest makers of seasonal flu vaccines in the U.S. are running into delays or cutting back shipments — partly because of the crunch to produce millions of doses of the new swine flu vaccine. Drugmaker Sanofi Pasteur said it has shipped more than half of the 50.5 million doses of seasonal flu vaccine ordered and it could be November before some U.S. customers get the rest of their shipments.

When Palisade High School football coach John Arledge looks at last season, the importance of one regular season game jumps out. Glenwood Springs and Palisade played a game that had a profound affect on the rest of the 2008 season. On that October day in Grand Junction, No. 2 Glenwood upended No. 1 Palisade, 29-22. The Demons went on to earn the No. 1 overall playoff seed and a state championship. That loss, Palisade’s only of the regular season, gave the Bulldogs a No. 6 seed in the playoffs, where they lost on a last-second field goal to D’Evelyn in the first round. The scenario is eerily similar to a 7 p.m. showdown today between Palisade and Steamboat Springs at Gardner Field. Both teams are considered an echelon above the rest of

There’s nothing like coming home — or at least that’s the hope the Hayden High School football team carries into tonight’s homecoming game against Paonia. The Tigers and the Eagles face off at 7 p.m. today in Hayden. Both teams will be eager to snap losing streaks. Hayden is coming off its

PREP FOOTBALL second loss of the season, a 12-7 game it dropped a week ago against Dolores. Paonia, meanwhile, lost its fourth game in a row last week, falling, 15-12, to Hotchkiss. “Our practices have been a little more upbeat and a little more intense,” Hayden Coach Shawn Baumgartner said. “Hopefully we can go out and take care of business.”

Hayden’s defense has lived up to its preseason potential. The Tigers have given up 12.5 points per game, the vast majority of that coming in a Week 3 loss at Grand Valley. The key tonight will be executing on offense late in drives. The team led last week’s contest 7-6 late into the fourth quarter but whiffed when presented sev-

eral opportunities to extend that thin lead and secure the game. Hayden couldn’t convert on the fourth down while deep in Dolores territory late in the game, and the Bears responded by marching for the game-winning touchdown. “We just have to learn to sustain those drives and stick the ball in the end zone,” Baumgartner said. “We could get the ball deep in the red zone, (but) we couldn’t put it in, and we have to find a way.” That Dolores game-winSee Tigers, page 33

Colorado still can catch the Dodgers for the NL West title if the Rockies sweep a weekend series in Los Angeles. “We’re in,” Tulowitzki said. “Anything can happen once you’re in.” The Dodgers, who have lost four straight, were off Thursday and watched their division lead against the Rockies get sliced to two games with three left.

Volleyball hits critical stretch Steamboat Springs hosts Delta, Palisade on back-to-back days STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

There is no denying what the Steamboat Springs High School volleyball team has to do in the next couple of days. Steamboat, at 7-2 overall and 4-1 in the Western Slope League, welcomes Delta and Palisade for a pair of home games. Steamboat plays Delta at 6:30 p.m. today and Palisade at 1 p.m. Saturday. Both games are at Steamboat Springs High School. The two games will wrap up the Sailors’ first look at every team in the league. So far, Steamboat’s lone loss came in a three-set sweep against Eagle Valley. The Devils currently lead the league, and if the Sailors want to be part of that conversation come season’s end, it starts today.

“Obviously, you want to win every match at home,” Steamboat coach Wendy Hall said. “Being the end of our league rotation here, it’s critical, I think, to get them both. But it’s a little bit of the unknown. Palisade has been playing well, and Delta gives us fits.” Unlike football, where coaches generally exchange film, volleyball is more of a feeling-out process. Hall said the key, then, is to not focus so much on what the other teams do as much as what her team can do. That starts, Hall said, with becoming mentally tougher. Although Steamboat was able to pick up wins against Moffat County and Battle Mountain last week, Hall said Steamboat almost let mistakes cancel out those wins. Palisade always has been a team that relies on its defense

and ball control, and Delta is a good blocking team. Hall said although she has some familiarity with the two teams, a big part of potential Steamboat success during the two games will be making ingame adjustments. Part of that relates back to the mental game and getting the Sailors not only winning, but also playing like they can. “It’s not just coming out with a victory, but feeling like we’re on top of our game again,” Hall said.

Avs oust Sharks, 5-2 DENVER

Wojtek Wolski scored two goals and Craig Anderson stopped 38 shots, lifting Colorado to a season-opening 5-2 win against the San Jose Sharks on Thursday night after the Avalanche retired Joe Sakic’s No. 19. Darcy Tucker, Cody McLeod and John-Michael Liles also scored, making a winner out of new Avalanche coach Joe Sacco. Patrick Marleau had two goals for San Jose, which dropped to 0-5-2 in season openers on the road. Evgeni Nabokov allowed all five goals on 20 shots. He remains one victory shy of becoming the 38th goalie in NHL history to win 250 games. The Avalanche are starting their 14th season in Denver, and first without their longtime captain Sakic. His sweater was raised to the Pepsi Center rafters in a ceremony before the game. — The Associated Press

“It comes down to speed, and more so this game, just general toughness,” Sailors lineman Carl Steele said. “We’ve been soft against Palisade for some reason. This year that’s got to change.” A common thread in Steamboat losses to Palisade has been Steamboat’s inability to run the ball — and slow starts. Sailors coach Aaron Finch said those are important but maybe not as important as which team takes better care of the ball. In Palisade’s opening two losses, the team turned the ball over five times in its first game and had a turnover for a touchdown in the second game. In its two losses last year, Palisade turned the ball over eight times. Steamboat has had seven turnovers against Palisade the past two seasons, but it’s starting offense has been careful with the ball this season, having committed just three turnovers. Still, the biggest factor — and where things likely will be decided tonight — might be which style of football can prevail. “We’ve been blessed this season with big plays early,” Finch said. “I think the issue for us is to be patient. We’re used to getting up early. This game isn’t going to be over at halftime. Against good teams like Palisade, that’s not going to happen.” “It’s going to be won in the fourth quarter by one of us,” Arledge said. “Whoever is in better shape, performs better in key situations. It’s not going to come down to one single play. It’s a great test for our kids on the road to play a team that really wants it.”

Hayden coach: Team has found its focus Tigers continued from 29 ning drive proved crippling to the Tigers and, according to Baumgartner, marked their first step back this season. “We felt we’d improved each week, then, last week, we didn’t improve,” he said. Still, in a hectic homecoming week for student-athletes, he said his players have managed to find a focus that had been lacking. They’ll need it. Paonia is just 1-4, but it picked up that win by thumping Dolores, 46-14, to open the season. All of the other losses came in tight games, too, with the four defeats coming on a total of 13 points.

“It’s taken somewhat of a toll, but we knew every game we played good enough to be in position to win,” Paonia coach Craig Cerise said about the four straight losses. “Now, we’re tired of saying, ‘Man, we could have won that.’” The squad is led by quarterback Casey Gillenwater, who’s thrown for eight touchdowns and rushed for three more. Running back Cody Clawson leads the team on the ground, with 230 yards on 54 carries. The team is in its first year running the spread offense and at times has had struggles similar to Hayden’s, by stalling out after long drives.

“Our strength has been our defense. Both our offense and defense are new this year, but our defense is definitely more settled in,” Cerise said. There still has been plenty enough offense to impress the Tigers and keep them working hard all week long in preparation for the game. “They’re a real tough team,” Baumgartner said. “That quarterback is a real good thrower, and he reads the field well. They do a lot of one-step drops, and we have to try really hard to get pressure on him. We’ll try to do some things up front to at least get in there so he doesn’t just stand back there and pick us apart.”

Rockies set franchise mark with 91 wins Rockies continued from 29 clubhouse, manager Jim Tracy was getting soaked by players serenading him with “Boom Boom Pow” by the Black Eyed Peas. “I’ve never had a better feeling than this in 33 years in professional baseball,” Tracy said. He’s not planning on resting any regulars in Los Angeles. “Until we get beat a game, we’re going to try to win the division,” Tracy said. A bundled-up crowd of more than 38,000 sat through blustery winds on a 50-degree day to watch the record-setting win. At 91-58, the Rockies set a franchise mark for wins in a season and moved 23 games over .500 for the first time in their 17-year history. Unlike two years ago, when they got hot at the right time, winning 21 of 22 on their way to their only World Series appearance, these Rockies simply got good. Very good. After trading slugger Matt Holliday last fall for closer Huston Street and outfielder Carlos Gonzalez, the Rockies got off to a stumbling start. They were 18-28 on May 29 when Tracy took over after

general manager Dan O’Dowd fired longtime manager Clint Hurdle. When O’Dowd offered Tracy the job, he told him, “I just want to see them play better.” Tracy asked for 60 minutes to mull the offer. O’Dowd said he’d gladly give him an hour’s time to think about it but not a minute more because he needed a manager in the dugout that night. Tracy talked it over with his wife and told O’Dowd he thought the Rockies could indeed play better under his tutelage.

Have they ever. Under Tracy, the Rockies are 73-40, and they took over sole possession of the lead in the wild-card race, which Colorado trailed by 9 1/2 games Sept. 1. The Rockies, who were 12 games under .500 on June 3, turned their season around and rejoined the pennant race with sensational starting pitching (they’re the only team with five starters with double-digit wins), a brilliant bullpen, a mixture of clutch situational and power hitting and deft managerial and front office moves.

Noel Devine ran for a careerhigh 220 yards and a touchdown, leading West Virginia to a 35-24 victory against Colorado on Thursday night. Jarrett Brown threw two touchdown passes, and redshirt freshman fullback Ryan Clarke ran for two fourth-quarter scores for West Virginia (3-1). Both offenses played sloppily despite having an extra week to prepare. West Virginia lost four fumbles and intercepted three of Cody Hawkins’ passes. Hawkins threw two touchdown passes, but Colorado (13) managed three total points on four other drives that went inside the 30. Colorado now faces the impossible task of meeting coach Dan Hawkins’ offseason

COLLEGE FOOTBALL directive of “10 wins, no excuses.” The Buffaloes would have to win the remainder of their games, including a bowl, starting next week at No. 2 Texas. Colorado was outgained 405392 after shutting out Wyoming, 24-0, on Sept. 19. The Buffaloes kept Brown mostly in check, but they couldn’t match Devine’s speed. Devine went 77 yards for a score on West Virginia’s second play from scrimmage and ran 56 yards late in the second quarter that set up Brown’s 6-yard scoring pass to Jock Sanders. Devine ran nine times during a 14-play drive midway through the fourth quarter that ended in Clarke’s 1yard TD run for a 28-17 lead. After Colorado turned the ball over on downs deep in its own territory, Clarke tacked on an 8-yard scoring run to put the

game out of reach. Brown, sixth in the nation in total offense at 335 yards per game, twice overthrew wide-open receivers far downfield and finished 12 of 19 for just 148 yards. He was sacked three times. Colorado’s Rodney Stewart had another solid game against the Mountaineers. Last year he rushed for 166 yards, the most ever by a Colorado freshman. On Thursday, Stewart had a 36yard TD run in the first quarter and finished with 105 yards on 21 carries. Cody Hawkins kept his cool at times, avoiding the blitz to hit Scotty McKnight with a 29-yard scoring toss on fourthand-7 early in the third that cut Colorado’s deficit to four at 2117. But Colorado didn’t score again until the final seconds. Hawkins went 27 of 52 for 292 yards. Riar Geer caught eight passes for 113 yards.

Iran and six world powers put nuclear talks back on track Thursday at a landmark session that included the highest-level bilateral contact with the U.S. in years and a pledge to meet again this month. President Barack Obama then challenged Tehran to make good on its promises quickly. Iran also agreed to allow U.N. inspectors into its covertly built enrichment plant during the talks, held at a villa outside Geneva. The discussions appeared to defuse tensions that had been building for weeks. Speaking in Washington, Obama called the talks “a constructive beginning” and said Iran must match its words with action. Tehran “must grant unfettered access” to international inspectors within two weeks, he said, warning that if Iran fails to follow through, “then the United States will not continue to negotiate indefinitely, and we are prepared to move towards

increased pressure.” “Our patience is not unlimited,” Obama said. “Going forward, we expect to see swift action.” The tone of Thursday’s meeting was considerably more positive than just a week ago, when the U.S. and its allies were threatening Iran with tough new sanctions if it refused to freeze its nuclear activities, which they suspect are aimed at creating an atomic weapon. Perhaps the most significant development of the day was a 45-minute one-on-one meeting between U.S. Under Secretary of State William Burns and Iran’s senior nuclear negotiator, Saaed Jalili. It was the first direct U.S. negotiations with Iran since Washington severed relations in 1980. The encounter appeared to add to the positive atmosphere that led to agreement by all the parties — Iran, the U.S., Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany — for a follow-up meeting this month. It also appeared to be concrete proof of Obama’s commitment to directly engage Iran

on nuclear and other issues — a sharp break from policy during the Bush administration. However, statements made by the two sides reflected the continuing divide between them. U.S. Deputy State Department spokesman Robert Wood said Burns used the meeting with Jalili “to reiterate the international community’s concerns about Iran’s nuclear program.” “He addressed the need for Iran to take concrete and practical steps that ... will build international confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of its program,” he said. Wood said both sides also “had a frank exchange on other issues, including human rights.” Officials in Washington said Burns urged Tehran to resolve the cases of three Americans detained in Iran since July. Javier Solana, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, told reporters Iran agreed to “cooperate fully” with the International Atomic Energy Agency and to open its newly disclosed nuclear facility to inspectors, probably within “a couple of weeks.”
