Corrections A story in the real estate section of the Oct. 4 Steamboat Pilot & Today incorrectly reported that a home at 27570 Winchester Trail had sold. The address for the home that sold for $635,000 is 27588 Winchester Trail. Previous sales listed for that address were for an unimproved building lot and not a lot with a home on it. The story “District devises BOCES deal” on page 5 of Tuesday’s Steamboat Today incorrectly reported a Steamboat Springs School Board vote. The panel voted, 4-1, to approve $21,350 in matching funds for a $42,700 school bus surveillance system, the remainder of which was grant funded. Laura Anderson voted against the motion, expression a concern with spending additional district funds.

Most city workers will continue to work just four days a week — and receive 90 percent of their pay — through next year under a proposed 2010 budget reviewed by the Steamboat Springs City Council at a daylong meeting Tuesday. City Manager Jon Roberts said he had hoped to reverse the moves to reduce personnel costs, which also include hiring and pay freezes.

“But that is not the case. City boosts Unfortunately, nonprofit the projecfunding tion for 2010 See page 14 is going in the wrong direction,” said Roberts, referring to projections that city revenues will drop another 10 percent in 2010 after the 18 percent drop expected this year. “We scrubbed down every single program and every single dollar.” The $39.5 million budget includes an operating budget with $22.7 million in expendi-

Gadgets and gizmos? I prefer friends, follies

all and winter have collided. The result? A dazzling display of frosted trees, buttery aspen leaves and “snain” — that half snow, half rain thing that’s been falling from the sky. Now that I’ve reluctantly turned on the heat in my house, my thoughts have inched toward the upcoming ski season. I’ve leafed through a few ski magazines, checked out some Web sites and talked to a few people “in the know,” and for the first time, I feel conflicted, bordering on schizoid. I found some interesting new innovations (yeah … a heated jacket from Mountain Hardware) as well as gadgets and gizmos (Camelbak’s new vest with hydration system built into it) all designed to make skiing and riding more fun, but then I stumbled upon this rather alarming statistic.

Joanne Palmer According to the October issue of Ski Magazine, “Apple’s online store offers more than 60 skier-related apps, and the iPhone currently dominates the high-country app-o-sphere.” App-o-sphere. There’s a word that gives me pause. Sixty skier-related apps? Double pause. Huh? What? Apparently, skiers can use their phone for snow safety updates, weather forecasts, snow reports and even the iTrailmap — a smartphone application that means paper

It certainly appeared as if South Routt High School senior Bethany Leu dressed in the dark Tuesday. She wore a bright purple-andblack plaid jacket over a multicolored T-shirt. A black-and-white sock on her left foot was pulled over her jeans. And she was wearing two different colored shoes: one red and one white. It was intentional. Leu was participating in dress-in-the-dark day, Tuesday’s theme for Soroco’s 2009 homecoming week. Leu, along with the rest of the high school’s leadership class — which includes students from all grades, but mostly juniors and seniors — planned the dress-up themes and daily activities for the festivities that culminate in the homecoming dance at 8:30 p.m. Saturday. Leu, the head girl for the leadership class, has worked since last spring to plan for this week’s homecoming festivities. And her efforts were evident Tuesday. She was just one of many who participated in the theme days Monday and Tuesday. During Monday’s school colors day, 92 percent of the high school’s stuMATT STENSLAND/STAFF dents took part. Soroco High School seniors Annie Hagg, left, and Bethany Leu talk Tuesday “Something we’ve been focus- about homecoming activities they helped organize for this week.

Routt County commissioners laid off two county employees, shrank two positions and eliminated two vacant positions Tuesday, cutting about $280,000 from the county’s 2010 budget in the face of decreasing revenues. Commissioners voted unanimously to approve the recommendations of County Manager Tom Sullivan, who met with department administrators and created a plan to save the funds. The budget also

includes an end to furloughs and restoration of 5 percent of employees’ pay after the county cut it by 10 percent this year. The Routt County Planning Department will lose its assistant director, a position primarily dedicated to long-term planning. The Road and Bridge Department will lose an engineering technician, who Director Paul Draper said is the department’s traffic control supervisor. Commissioners reinstated a seasonal traffic flagging position into the 2010 budget, at a cost of about $17,000. Draper said the changes

would bring his department back to staffing levels of eight years ago — at a time when improvement projects are slated across the county. “Our programs are increasing, not decreasing,” Draper said, citing ongoing work on Routt County Road 14 in South Routt; C.R. 27, also known as Twentymile Road, in west Routt County; C.R. 76, known as the Cog; and at the Elkhead slide on C.R. 86. Commissioners stressed that the positions could be restored if the economy rebounds. See County, page 17

Only one more student was absent Tuesday from Strawberry Park Elementary School after Monday’s surge from last week, bringing the absentee number to 97. The number represents nearly 20 percent of the student body. It follows last week’s high absentee rate at Steamboat Springs Middle School, when more than 100 students missed school three

days in a row. The high came Sept. 29, when 151 students were out, representing 30 percent of the student body. District officials have said they don’t think the illnesses keeping students home sick is the beginning of a swine flu outbreak. Students have missed school with a variety of illnesses, they said. “We’re seeing not as much influenza-like symptoms as we’re seeing some of the others — strep throat, stomach bugs and just general head colds,”

said Dot Haberlan, of the Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association. “We’ll see where that leads us this week.” When asked whether she expected things to get worse, with the absentee numbers far lower at the middle school, Soda Creek Elementary School and Steamboat Springs High School, Haberlan, who oversees health services for the Routt County schools, said she thought the district was in a lull.

Council should approve Steamboat 700

he annexation of Steamboat 700 isn’t about today, tomorrow, next month, next year or even five years from now. It’s about the long-term future and growth of our community, and although that may be a difficult goal to AT ISSUE focus on amid an ecoSteamboat 700 nomic recession, it’s the proactive approach annexation our elected officials should take and are OUR VIEW taking. Council and After nearly two years of negotiating residents with Steamboat 700 should developers, city officials approve the are scheduled to take a annexation final vote next week on ordinance. an annexation agreement that we think offers substantial promise for the future of our community while also addressing some of the issues we have struggled with for years. Although the agreement may not be perfect — and no annexation agreement ever will be — it is worth a yes vote from our City Council members, and it is worth the support of the greater Steamboat community. To understand how Steamboat 700 meets the needs of our community, it’s essential to first understand the West of Steamboat Springs Area Plan and how that plan came to be. The numerous entities and residents that participated in the WSSAP creation correctly recognized that growth is inevitable in our beautiful valley. For the same reasons we came here to settle and build our lives, future residents will come here to settle and build their lives. But developable land within city limits — and even within close proximity of city limits — is limited, and so lands west of city limits were identified and marked as the most appropriate and logical for future residential growth. “If residential growth cannot occur within the Steamboat Springs urban area, it will likely be forced to outlying areas such as Oak Creek, Stagecoach, Hayden and Craig. This will result in

MALLARD FILLMORE

increased commuting time, road and infrastructure costs, traffic impacts, split family life and other social costs, and higher costs of recruiting a work force for Steamboat Springs businesses,” the plan reads. Not all growth is good, and it can be particularly bad when it’s not part of a larger growth strategy. The West of Steamboat Springs Area Plan establishes goals for our growth, including the creation of affordable housing, commercial centers to provide self-sufficiency for the newly developed area, schools and the New Victory Highway. But after its adoption in 1999, there was little progress in providing affordable housing in the identified growth area. So the City Council and Routt County Board of Commissioners got together in 2005 to begin an update to the plan. The update had three goals, No. 1 being to ensure that the West of Steamboat Springs Area Plan is achievable. In March 2007, Steamboat 700 LLC purchased 540 acres of land within the WSSAP for $24.6 million. The same group purchased an adjoining 160 acres, and the 700 total acres represent about 80 percent of the land in the WSSAP. Since the purchase, Steamboat 700, led by Danny Mulcahy, has worked with city staff and officials to negotiate the annexation agreement the council will decide on Tuesday. The negotiations haven’t been easy, nor should they, as city officials and their attorneys, including an annexation expert, have worked to ensure that the deal is in the best interest of the community. We believe it is. Steamboat 700 represents our opportunity as a community to see the WSSAP come to fruition, and in so doing, to create a master-planned community that helps provide needed infrastructure improvements. Those include U.S. Highway 40 work that will be needed regardless of whether Steamboat 700 is developed; land and money for deed-restricted, affordable housing; a future stock of housing units that will help prevent the insane run-up in home values experienced just a couple of

years ago, thus keeping Steamboat more affordable for its work force; a west Steamboat commercial center and grocery store; parks and open space; money for a new K-8 school and improvements to the existing high school; and funds to help expand the city’s municipal water supply. There is much more to the deal than can be printed here, but it is all available online at www.steamboatpilot.com/ news/steamboat700. The magnitude of the proposal, and its impact on Steamboat, understandably is causing a great deal of fear among some in our community. As such, there are myths about Steamboat 700 that need to be debunked. ■ There’s no market for a new development offering 2,000 residences. Steamboat 700 won’t be developed overnight, or even in a decade. Rather, the development would not achieve build-out for as many as 30 years. The first homes likely wouldn’t be built until 2012, at the earliest. In 2007, our real estate market reached record levels. In 2009, it shrank to record levels. Who knows what it will be in 2012, 2017, 2020 or 2025? But we do know that the free market will dictate the pace of development and sales. If they can’t be sold, they won’t be built. ■ There are no jobs for all the new Steamboat 700 residents. Do jobs exist today for thousands of new residents? No. Steamboat Springs and Routt County will continue to grow, that much is inevitable. Growth itself can create jobs in industries such as construction and retail, but we also must remember the large numbers of location-neutral businesses and workers who continue to make Steamboat home. People won’t move here if there aren’t jobs to support their move. And if people don’t move here, the homes won’t be built. ■ There’s not enough water to support Steamboat 700. The city has sufficient water supSee Our View, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

What is gained?

Last winter my husband and I were visiting Steamboat Springs for a month of skiing when our dog became very sick with a twisted intestine. Dr. Craig Stanton and vet tech Carole at Pet Kare Clinic sacrificed their Super Bowl Sunday to save our Laci’s life. Laci was a very lucky girl to have such a talented and caring team taking care of her in this life-threatening situation. The team at Pet Kare Clinic’s obvious concern not only for Laci, but also for my husband and my own distress, was comforting and reassuring. Laci is now celebrating her ninth month of survival since that scary day when we met “Dr. Craig” and his team. We celebrate the talented and caring team at Pet Kare Clinic.

I saw a bumper sticker on a car in my neighborhood that read, “I Support Steamboat 700.” Prior to the City Council meeting Sept. 29, big, blue sticker buttons with the same message were being passed out. There is a great temptation to frame the current annexation proposal in “political campaign” terms, i.e., “I win and you lose.” This rancorous approach does little to serve the process and only fosters unnecessary community divisiveness. What is gained? I hope we can tone down the campaign-like rhetoric so the focus of our collective energy can be on evaluating the proposed annexation agreement solely on its merits. Simply put, does the annexa-

Judi Clayton CARMEL, CALIF.

tion agreement meet the goals of the West of Steamboat Springs Area Plan? What tradeoffs have been made in exchange for tangible long-term public benefit? Is this the best agreement we can hope for? Right now, as elected community representatives using their very best judgment, City Council needs to answer these questions. We are depending on them to do the necessary due diligence and fiduciary oversight critical in evaluating this agreement. A time may come for campaign stickers and slogans — but now is not that time. With a decision of this magnitude, nobody wins if we do not get it right at this stage in the process.

700 represents fear of unknown to some Our View continued from 8 ply to meet the demands of a development the size of Steamboat 700. A city water study came to that conclusion. What the city needs is money to help it “firm up” its existing water rights — in other words, process that water and make it ready for municipal use. Part of the annexation agreement includes funding from Steamboat 700 to firm up existing city water rights. ■ The development will exacerbate existing traffic problems. Let’s first pretend that Steamboat Springs has a traffic problem. Provided we accept that Routt County will continue to grow, so will the traffic problem. The Colorado Department of Local Affairs estimates that Routt County’s population will swell from 22,980 in 2008 to 44,708 in 2035 — about the same time that Steamboat 700 build-out would be complete. Would we prefer that increasing traffic be generated by new development in Milner, Hayden,

South Routt and Craig, or that new traffic be generated by a close-in development that will provide millions of dollars for U.S. 40 improvements? Those improvements will be necessary no matter what. In Steamboat 700, we have a developer who is agreeing to help pay for the work. That won’t happen with other developments. It’s also notable that entities including the Routt County Board of Commissioners, Steamboat Springs School District, Yampa Valley Housing Authority and Steamboat Springs Planning Commission have voiced their support for the annexation of Steamboat 700. Finally, consider this: What happens if Steamboat 700 isn’t approved? What if the developers don’t come back to the table, where they ostensibly would be asked to provide even more? Would we, as a community, be satisfied with 35-acre parcels and 20 or so mansions on the land we’ve designated as our future residential growth area? Would county-approved land preservation subdivisions

be preferable to a well-planned community of diverse dwelling units, including apartment complexes and condominiums? For many, Steamboat 700 represents the fear of the unknown, and that’s why we have a sound annexation agreement in place to protect the residents of Steamboat Springs. To that end, annexation approval is not a blanket approval for the development. All aspects of the development still must go through the city’s development review and approval process. For many others, Steamboat 700 represents change, which is always difficult to embrace. But rest assured that Steamboat Springs and Routt County will change, and it will grow, whether or not Steamboat 700 is approved. The difference is that we likely won’t ever again have this much say in how we grow and how we change. We could be the next Roaring Fork Valley. Or we could be different, and we could maintain the community character we hold in such high regard.

Buried under a meter or so of lunar dust, large deposits of ice might form in these cold pockets and survive for billions of years. Mining lunar ice would be far more economical than transporting Earth water to the moon. But how can we determine whether the polar craters are hiding these mother lodes of water without sending prospectors there to find out? One way is to bomb a suspect crater and see if a plume of steam rises from the darkness. That’s exactly what NASA’s LCROSS spacecraft will do Friday morning. LCROSS (the Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite) will execute a suicide plunge into the shadowfilled (and hopefully ice-filled) crater named Cabeus, near the lunar south pole. Earth-based and space-based instruments will examine the resulting plume of debris for telltale signs of water vapor, a sure indication of buried ice. If the results come back positive, then sit back and watch the lunar ice rush begin. By the way, if you or a friend owns a 10-inch or larger telescope, NASA thinks you might be able to catch a glimpse of the LCROSS debris plume rising from Cabeus crater at about 5:30 a.m. Friday. Give it a try. You might just witness history in the making. Visit the LCROSS Web page at http:// lcross.arc.nasa.gov/ for the latest updates and details.

ater on the moon? Sounds ridiculous. How can an airless world that bakes in the hot sun at temperatures above the normal boiling point of water be expected to hold on to any of the vital substance? If scientists are correct, prospectors on the moon might one day mine the precious stuff from the deep, dark craters near the moon’s polar regions — places where the sun has never shone. Water is essential for life as we know it. It is so plentiful on our planet that we naturally take it for granted, but water is not so common on other worlds. As we begin to take baby steps into space and eventually establish colonies on nearby worlds, water will become a very valuable commodity. Consider that the cost of carrying 1 pound of water from the Earth to the moon is about $10,000. Clearly, the cost of transporting large quantities of water to the moon is cost-prohibitive. If a source of water could be found on the moon itself, the prospects of establishing a large lunar colony suddenly begin to look much better. Last month, giddy scientists announced water had indeed been discovered on the moon, but not in the form of oceans, lakes or even puddles. The interaction of solar wind particles (mostly hydrogen nuclei) and oxygen atoms in the lunar soil and rocks has synthesized water molecules that permeate the lunar dust. We’re not talking about enough water to make lunar mud, but maybe enough scattered across an area the size of a football field to fill a small glass. The trick will be extracting this water, one molecule at a time. Wouldn’t it be nice if there were some natural process that collected and concentrated these water molecules into large lunar ice fields for us to use? Such a process just might exist. Several spacecraft have detected indirect evidence of water, in the form of ice, buried in the floors of some deep craters near the moon’s north and south poles. Near the poles, the sun’s glancing rays are not able

Ya que el “promedio” total podría salir normal también la Hemoglobina A1C podría mostrarse normal. Los profesionales de salud están discutiendo este tema y trabajando en las decisiones relacionadas al uso de Hemoglobina A1C como una herramienta de diagnóstico. Mientras tanto, la gente con pre-diabetes (glucosa en la sangre en ayunas entre 100 y 125 mg/dL) podrían hacerse un examen de Hemoglobina A1C para tener una visión general de lo que está sucediendo.

Para alguien que no tiene diabetes, un examen de nivel de Hemoglobina A1C podría resultar entre 4% y 6% La recomendación para gente con diabetes es tratar de que su hemoglobina A1C permanezca menos del 7%. Los resultados de un amplio estudio de investigación, publicados en 1993, mostraron que la gente que mantiene su hemoglobina A1C en un nivel cercano al 7% había reducido el riesgo de complicaciones de diabetes a largo plazo. Cuando el nivel de Hemoglobina A1C está por debajo del 7% es momento de considerar realizar algunos ajustes del plan de control de la diabetes. Las recomendaciones son diferentes para los niños. La sangre puede ser tomada desde la vena o de un dedo, dependiendo del tipo de equipo que el laboratorio tenga para realizar la prueba de hemoglobina A1C . Este examen de sangre no requiere de ayuno ya que el examen no es afectado por las actividades o comidas ingeridas el día de la prueba. Hasta hoy, Hemoglobina A1C no ha sido utilizado para diagnosticar diabetes Si el resultado es elevado sobre el rango normal, sabemos que algo está mal, sin embargo, si el resultado es normal podría suceder que hay niveles de glucosa elevados a ciertas horas del día.

International Speaker, Trainer Shari Harley to Speak Young Professionals Network hosts workshop on ‘Managing Your Professional Reputation’ On Oct. 17, international speaker, trainer and consultant Shari Harley will speak from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Steamboat Springs Community Center about a workplace issue that holds relevance, especially in a small resort community. As a guest of the Young Professionals Network of Steamboat Springs, Harley is helping to expand programming and offer quality events for everyone in town. The title and the seriousness of Harley’s workshop speaks for itself, “Managing Your Professional Reputation: What They Say When You’re Not There.” Steamboat Ski & Resort Corp., along with Peabody Energy and the professional development committee of YPN, is hosting Denver-based speaker, Harley in Steamboat Springs. As president of Candor Matters, Harley is internationally known for helping people manage their reputations and accelerate their careers. Her accolades include serving as an adjunct faculty member at the University of Denver; working with clients such as IBM, OppenheimerFunds, Experian, The American Institute of Architects, The Project Management Institute and The Colorado Human Resource Association; and writing “Where Did My Customers Go? Manage Reputations and Build Relationships That Last a Lifetime.” “Information is power; power gives you control. I want people to have more power and control over their work relationships,” said Harley. “I see the things

that people do to screw up their careers, but no one will tell them. My motto is ask more and assume less.” At times, the gray areas between professional and personal relationships can be blurred in a close-knit town like Steamboat Springs. What can be easy to forget is that a person’s reputation is one of the most precious things any individual possesses. At Harley’s workshop, attendees will walk away with tools and techniques to transform any relationship. In addition, Harley’s style is funny, direct and engaging. This career building workshop is sure to take the mystery out of working with others. “I was fortunate to hear Shari speak at a recent conference, and I am using the tools she provided to improve my business relationships,” said Tara Nagel, national sales manager at the Steamboat Grand Resort Hotel. “Her ideas are straight forward, easy to understand, and I was able to absorb her message that I am in control of the results from my personal and professional experiences. “Part of Shari’s message is that everyone is 100 percent accountable for their relationships, their career and for their business outcomes. Shari is not only extremely funny and very personable, but her positive, uplifting and motivating message is to simply take stock of your own self,” Nagel said. In terms of professional or

work-related actions, when looking to advance their career or improve their image, people tend to spend extravagant amounts of money on expensive résumé paper, nice interview suits and accessories such as leather binders and fancy pens, which will get you only so far in the professional world. Attending a workshop like Harley’s — at a cost of $50 — about managing professional reputations might be the best money spent all year. Think of it this way, the career advising knowledge gained through a workshop like this will outlast any paper, business suit or binder you can buy. “Everyone can benefit from this workshop,” said Marion Ayer, Finance and Human Resource director at the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association and YPN Chamber liaison. “It’s not just for YPN members; it is open to everyone in the community interested in learning more about professional reputations and career-enhancing advice. This is a relevant topic, and Shari is offering expert advice

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The local nonprofit sector received a big and unexpected boost in funding Tuesday from the Steamboat Springs City Council. At its all-day meeting to discuss the 2010 budget, council members reversed course on a community support budget initially slated to be slashed 10 percent. Instead, the council creatively restored funding for most organizations to 2009 levels or higher. The city’s community support spending is a relatively small but

emotional portion of the city budget that goes toward dozens of organizations dedicated to areas such as the arts, human services, the environment and promoting the local economy. As part of citywide budget cuts in response to the recession and plummeting sales tax revenues, community support spending was cut from $1.8 million in 2008 to $1.3 million this year. Tuesday’s direction from the council — which still must be formally approved by an ordinance adopting a budget for next year — didn’t restore funding to 2008 levels but did stem the bleeding. “This is so heartwarming,” said Nancy Kramer, director of

the volunteer Arts and Culture Coalition. Most organizations receiving community support money are divided into three categories: arts and culture, environmental and human resource. A volunteer coalition for each category helps divide up a lump sum allocation from the City Council to member organizations. The Arts and Culture Coalition, for example, includes organizations such as Strings in the Mountains, Steamboat Springs Free Summer Concert Series and Steamboat Springs Arts Council. See Nonprofits, page 16

that budget. Only $3.9 million is budgeted for capital projects next year. Most of the money is coming from grants or other sources besides the city, or is being spent on projects the city is contractually required to pay for. The capital list includes $1.7 million for U.S. Highway 40 improvements that Steamboat 700 will pay for if it is annexed, $90,000 for baseball field improvements required by the city’s contract with Triple Crown Sports and $700,000 for the city’s pavement maintenance program. Some council members remain skeptical that those budget reductions will be enough to balance the budget. Councilwoman Cari Hermacinski said projections that the city will collect $500,000 and $400,000 in building-use tax and excise tax, respectively, may be too optimistic and could require

further subsidies of the capital budget from the general fund. “I have no confidence at all that the building industry is coming back,” she said. Councilwoman Meg Bentley said she fears that the reconstruction of Lincoln Avenue in downtown Steamboat Springs this fall and spring will have a big negative impact on sales tax collections. Other notes from Tuesday’s budget retreat include: ■ Financial reserves that fell dangerously low in the city’s water and wastewater funds are projected to increase by the end of 2010. The water fund’s reserve, for example, is expected to increase from about $15,000 to about $390,000. ■ Since 2008, the Planning and Community Development Department has taken the biggest percentage of budget hits, at 40 percent. The Public Safety Department has been affected least, by percentage, at about 8 percent.

■ By dollar amount, the Parks, Open Space and Recreational Services Department has absorbed the most budget cuts in the same time period, at about $850,000. The city’s legal department and Municipal Court have been cut least, at about $125,000. ■ Ken Solomon was the only non-incumbent candidate in this year’s City Council election to attend the meeting in Centennial Hall. Solomon will face Kenny Reisman in the District 2 race. ■ Unlike the situation during the last City Council election year, the current council will not try to pass the budget before the new council is seated. The second reading of the budget ordinance is scheduled after Nov. 3. ■ New surcharges approved by the city this year on municipal violations are expected to raise about $20,000 in 2010 and will offset cuts to the Steamboat Springs Police Department’s training budget.

Three ongoing cases against Craig resident Jerry David Flannery were continued Tuesday in Moffat County District Court. Flannery, 46, is charged in two cases involving methamphetamine distribution and one case of violating his probation by using counterfeit money.

Flannery was arrested in February at the Holiday Inn of Craig where Craig police officers allegedly found him in a room along with $4,840 in cash, as well as meth crystals and various other drug paraphernalia. In that case, he is charged with distribution of a Schedule 2 controlled substance, possession of a Schedule 2 controlled substance with intent to dis-

tribute, both Class 2 felonies, and tampering with physical evidence, a Class 6 felony. A warrantless arrest affidavit filed with the court states police officers first knocked on Flannery’s hotel room door and then found evidence he had tried to flush meth and drug paraphernalia down the toilet and the sink after the police were let See Flannery, page 18

Broncos use Honey Stinger’s products Big Agnes continued from 4 the recession at all — actually, we’ve done very well.” Warehouse manager Diego Girard, originally from Argentina, said Big Agnes ships more than 150 boxes a day to locations across the country and the globe. Geppert said Big Agnes recently has begun shipping products to outdoor clothing and gear retail giants Cabela’s and L.L. Bean. Honey Stinger, which shares a co-owner and employees with Big Agnes, also is adding contracts for its energy gel packets. Geppert said the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks buy Honey Stinger packets for their National Football League athletes. On the collegiate level, University of Utah, Utah State University, University of Missouri and University of Tennessee buy Honey Stinger, he said.

Girard said he heard anecdotally that former Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler found Honey Stinger packets at a Whole Foods grocery store and encouraged the Broncos to pick up the product. The Cutler story didn’t sit well with Geppert. “Ah, he’s in Chicago, you don’t want to talk about him,” Geppert said, referring to an off-season trade that sent Cutler to the Chicago Bears. He also joked that the Broncos’ 4-0 start could be attributed to Honey Stinger. An informal, fun atmosphere pervades the Big Agnes warehouse, where 25-year-old Denton Turner worked Tuesday in a flannel shirt, Carhartt hat and hiking shoes. “I’m outdoors all the time,” Turner said. “The company is great for us because they allow us to demo the products.” Geppert said although summer is the busiest season for Big Agnes, there is little slowdown

We have a great crew both at our store and our warehouse.” Moore said Big Agnes is an example of successful entrepreneurship. “They’re one of the representatives of what we call microcompanies,” Moore said. “They just add so much to the economic mix and economic health of the community.”

Combined, the coalitions’ members received $527,000 in 2008 and $279,000 in 2009. They requested $449,000 for 2010, but City Manager Jon Roberts and interim Finance Director Bob Litzau recommended further cuts to about $250,000. In a memo to the council, the organizations justified their request by arguing that they provide an economic benefit to the city by promoting tourism, preserving the community’s cultural and environmental character, and providing safety-net services that otherwise would fall on government. “We do not believe this is a charitable donation,” said Environmental Coalition director Mark Andersen, who noted that nonprofit groups are facing the same budget difficulties as the city. “We want you to look at this as a partnership.” Through a series of budget moves, the council directed an increase in their contribution

to the coalitions to $330,000. The move was primarily made possible by an idea suggested by Councilwoman Cari Hermacinski to fund the city’s $80,000 contribution to the Yampa Valley Housing Authority with money from the city’s “community housing fund” rather than its general fund. The community housing fund is home to the fees the city collects through its affordable housing ordinance. Council members unanimously agreed that it was appropriate to use a portion of those fees to help fund YVHA. That — combined with smaller budget moves such as council members’ decision to cut their own pay 10 percent — freed up additional general fund dollars to devote to the community support budget. YVHA is one of a few organizations that receive community support money but aren’t classified under a coalition. These organizations also were slated to be cut 10 percent, but

trail maps could become passé, or at the very least, optional. I like the idea of using less paper and saving trees. Not trying to refold a trail map is a huge plus. However, my vision is deteriorating, so I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be able to read a trail map or decipher what is on my phone. My phone might need to feature a magnifying glass or a voice application that tells me where to go. Although I like the concept of the iTrailmap, 60 skier-related applications seems a bit excessive to me. How much information is too much? Isn’t a ski day sup-

posed to be more about making a connection to Mother Nature and less about connecting with the “app-o-sphere”? If, thanks to your phone, and all of its whiz-bang applications, you don’t get caught in a blizzard, ride the wrong chairlift or miss your lunch rendezvous, what are you going to have to talk about at the end of the day? Yes, I’m a fan of technology, but I think I’m an even bigger fan of good stories. I need to sit around with my friends at the end of a ski day and talk about the people I met on the chair lift, the view from the top of Storm Peak, which still takes my breath away, and yes, the face plant I took. If my ski day

is going to be spent talking on my phone, taking pictures with my phone, texting on my phone and looking at my phone for the latest weather conditions, how much time will be left to ski? I do want my phone with me in case of an emergency, but unless disaster strikes, it will be turned off. I want my primary relationships to be in real time with real people. If I need to know if it’s going to snow, I will tilt my head back and look at the sky above me. And if I’m cold, I’m going to wish I could zip myself into that new heated ski jacket (with three on-demand heat settings) from Mountain Hardware. iSchizoid.

“We have to be fiscally responsible to our citizens, and the only way to do that is to find ways to cut our budget,” Commissioner Nancy Stahoviak said. “Eliminating positions is not fortunate, and it’s not fun, and it’s not comfortable, but unfortunately, it is something we have to do right now.” The county’s budget also changes employees’ pay reduction from 10 percent in 2009 to 5 percent in 2010 and ends the county furlough program, restoring the workweek to 40 hours. Sullivan wrote in his report to commissioners that the city of Steamboat Springs’ decision to delay an update of the Steamboat Springs Community Area Plan, at least through 2010, spurred his recommendation to cut the Planning Department’s assistant director position. That person’s workload also includes the Stagecoach Community Area Plan.

Sixty students stayed home from Soda Creek on Monday, and that number fell Tuesday to 36, or nearly 8 percent. The high school again had 17 students, or nearly 3 percent, absent Tuesday. Haberlan has said typical absentee rates for each building for this time of year are between 5 and 10 percent. Only four of the district’s more than 300 faculty members

It’s been the best year so far, academically, with sports and school spirit.” Even Principal Dennis Alt said he dressed in the dark Tuesday to display his school spirit. He said it was important for teachers to be excited about what the students were doing. “And to connect with students in a different way more as people than teachers and administrators,” he said. Alt added that homecoming week also provides students an opportunity to participate in something bigger than themselves. So far this week, Alt said the activities have gone well with

high student participation and positive behavior. He said the school has been given an “infusion of energy.” Others noticed, too. Annie Hagg, the secretary/ treasurer for the leadership class, said when school spirit is up, everyone has more fun. She said there’s higher attendance at games.

Competition lowers Aspen airport fares Scott Condon THE ASPEN TIMES

ASPEN

Strong competition between airlines has lowered fares at the Aspen-Pitkin County Airport and lured more Roaring Fork Valley residents to use the facility, Director of Aviation Jim Elwood said Monday. The airport logged its first significant increase in passenger boardings in a year during August, according to statistics tracked by the airport. Boardings were up 3 percent for the month year to year. In contrast, the U.S. airline industry’s passenger boardings were down 6 percent in August even though carriers slashed fares to fill seats. Airfares were down by an average of 17 percent for the month. For the summer months, Aspen-Pitkin County’s boardings were essentially flat from 2008. “We’re down about 5 percent so far for this year, which is way less than most airports,” Elwood said. The airport logged modest increases in April and December compared to the same months the previous year, but the August numbers were the first healthy gain. The Aspen airport might have received a boost this summer from the Eagle County Airport’s closure to commercial

traffic from the end of last ski season until Sept. 1 while its runway was rebuilt and lengthened. That might have spurred residents of the lower Roaring Fork Valley to check the Pitkin County airport as an option. Elwood said he thinks Roaring Fork Valley residents were starting to use the Pitkin County airport more often even before the Eagle County Airport’s closure. “I’m not a believer that it has much to do with Eagle’s closure, as some others do,” Elwood said. “I really think the midvalley folks gave us another look because of Frontier’s arrival and what has happened to airfares.” Frontier started its Lynx service to Aspen in April 2008. The competition drove down fares charged by United Express, the dominant carrier in the market. Pitkin County Manager Hilary Fletcher said there were “screaming deals” to be had this summer, and they are continuing into fall and winter. She said she is flying to Phoenix this fall for $200 round-trip — a fare low enough that it wouldn’t make sense to drive to Denver in search of a lower rate. “I think a lot of people in the past wouldn’t even bother to check the Aspen airfares and now they’re at least checking,” Fletcher said.

Loveland trail crews were able to begin snowmaking operations Sept. 21. “We took advantage of the cold temperatures and got an early start making snow this year,” said Eric Johnstone, snowmaking and trail maintenance manager. “Now we can move some equipment to other trails and try to open more terrain as quickly as possible.” As usual on opening day,

President says he’ll rigorously examine the war in Afghanistan Anne Gearan

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

President Barack Obama told lawmakers from both parties Tuesday that he will be rigorous and deliberate in his review of his Afghanistan strategy but that he understands the urgency of righting the flagging war. Obama also told lawmakers that he wants a discussion about the United States’ next moves in Afghanistan to be an honest debate not focused on false choices between doubling down on troop deployments or leaving the war-weary country, accord-

ing an administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the president’s private deliberations with 18 lawmakers who visited with him in the White House. The official said Obama used the hour-long meeting to brief leaders from both parties on progress in targeting al-Qaida and working with the Pakistani government to dismantle terrorists’ safe havens there. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Democrats and Republicans told the president, basically, “whatever decision you make, we’ll support it.”

But Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell put it differently: “I think Republicans will be able to make the decisions for themselves.” He predicted that a significant number of Republicans would back Obama’s next move if U.S. military commanders from the region are truly on board. The White House said prior to the meeting that Obama considers it “tremendously important” to listen to Congress about the war but won’t base his decisions on the mood on Capitol Hill or eroding public support for the war.

3 in US win Nobel Prize in physics Malcolm Ritter

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK

The next time you snap a digital photo and post it to Facebook, you can probably thank the three men who won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday. They helped develop fiberoptic cable and invented the “eye” in digital cameras — technology that has given rise to film-free photography and high-speed Internet service, revolutionized communications and science, and utterly transformed the way we live, work and amuse ourselves.

Half of the $1.4 million prize will go to Charles K. Kao, 75, for discovering how to transmit light signals long distance through hair-thin glass fibers. That led to fiber-optic communication networks that zip voice, video and high-speed Internet data worldwide in a split-second. The other half will go to Willard S. Boyle, 85, and George E. Smith, 79, for opening the door to digital cameras by inventing a sensor that turns light into electrical signals. These three Americans, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences declared, are “the

masters of light” whose work “helped to shape the foundations of today’s networked societies.” “What the wheel did for transport, the optical fiber did for telecommunications,” said Richard Epworth, who worked with Kao at Standard Telecommunications Laboratories in Harlow, England, in the 1960s. Here’s one measure of the impact of Kao’s work: The academy said that if all the glass fiber that now carries phone calls and data were wrapped around the world, it would span the globe more than 25,000 times.

Keeping warm may cost less

��

Lower fuel prices, milder winter should cut costs by 8 percent

��

H. Josef Hebert

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

Staying warm won’t be quite as expensive this winter. People who heat with natural gas should do especially well, seeing their lowest bills in five years. But no matter what fuel is used, heating costs are expected to take less of a bite out of household budgets in the coming months — from $20 to as much as $280 lower than last winter depending on what fuel is

used, the government says. An expected milder winter, along with lower fuel costs, should cut average residential heating expenditures by 8 percent from last year, the Energy Information Administration said in its annual winter outlook Tuesday. The nearly 58 million households that use natural gas stand to save about $105 compared with last year, and propane users will get an even bigger break — as much as $280. More modest reductions, $20 to $60,

are expected for people who use electricity or fuel oil to heat their homes. The federal agency, which keeps track of energy statistics and trends, cautioned that its projections are overall averages based on broadly expected weather conditions and fuel supply and cost trends. How much a family actually spends also will depend on local weather, the size and energy efficiency of their home and the efficiency of furnaces and other heating equipment.

‘Cleantech’ could be next big thing Investors: Alternative energy could power economic recovery Jordan Robertson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO

Our economy sure could use the Next Big Thing. Something on the scale of railroads, automobiles or the Internet — the kind of breakthrough that emerges every so often and builds industries, generates jobs and mints fortunes. Silicon Valley investors are pointing to something called cleantech — alternative energy, more efficient power distribution and new ways to store electricity, all with minimal impact

to the environment — as a candidate for the next boom. And while no two booms are exactly alike, some hallmarks already are showing up. Despite last fall’s financial meltdown, public and private investments are pouring in, fueling startups and reinvigorating established companies. The political and social climates are favorable. If it takes off, cleantech could seep into every part of the economy and our lives. Some of the biggest booms first blossomed during recessions. The telephone and pho-

nograph were developed during the depression of the 1870s. The integrated circuit, a milestone in electronics, was invented in the recessionary year of 1958. Personal computers went mainstream, spawning a huge industry, in the slumping early 1980s. A year into the Great Recession, innovation isn’t slowing. This time, it’s better batteries, more efficient solar cells, smarter appliances and electric cars, not to mention all the infrastructure needed to support the new ways energy will be generated and the new ways we’ll be using it.

Medicare fraud turns violent

Mafia, other criminals drawn to lower-risk scams for profit Kelli Kennedy

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI

Lured by easier money and shorter prison sentences, Mafia figures and other violent criminals are increasingly moving into Medicare fraud and spilling blood over what was once a white-collar crime. Around the nation, federal investigators have been threatened, an informant’s body was found riddled with bullets and a woman was discovered dead in a pharmacy under investigation, her throat slit with a piece of broken toilet seat. For criminals, Medicare

schemes offer a greater payoff and carry much shorter prison sentences than offenses such as drug trafficking or robbery. “We’ve seen more people that used to be involved in (dealing) drugs are switching over to health care fraud because it’s not as dangerous,” Miami FBI spokeswoman Judy Orihuela said. Medicare scammers typically make their money by billing Medicare for medical equipment and drugs that patients never receive — and never needed. Some pay homeless people on Los Angeles’ Skid Row for Medicare or Social Security numbers to use in fake billing invoices. Others intimi-

date elderly victims to use their Medicare numbers, federal authorities said. Most Medicare schemes are based in cities such as Miami, Los Angeles, Detroit and Houston. And rather than building an elaborate hierarchy like the Mafia or other gangs, many Medicare con artists use common street criminals to recruit patients and doctors, authorities said. A Medicare scammer could easily net at least $25,000 a day while risking a relatively modest 10 years in prison if convicted on a single count. A cocaine dealer could take weeks to make that amount while risking up to life in prison.

Island-hopping teen eludes police Gene Johnson

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

EASTSOUND, WASH.

In the darkness of this sleepy island town, the beam of a deputy’s flashlight caught the back of a teenager wanted in a notorious 18-month burglary spree. The teen glanced over his shoulder — and vanished into the woods. “He virtually vaporized in front of me,” deputy Jeff Patterson recalled. Such encounters have become all too common on the bucolic islands north of Seattle as police

hunt for an elusive thief whose crime spree is quickly becoming a local legend. Colton HarrisMoore is suspected in about 50 burglary cases since he slipped away from a halfway house in April 2008. Now, authorities say, he may have moved on to a more dangerous hobby: stealing airplanes. The saga is beginning to feel like something out of the movie “Catch Me If You Can,” as Harris-Moore keeps finding new ways to embarrass police by slipping through their grasp. The 18-year-old typically

breaks into businesses or unoccupied vacation homes, lies down on the couch and then dashes into the woods if confronted. He earned himself the nickname of “the barefoot burglar” by committing some of his crimes without wearing shoes. But authorities say the case has taken on a dangerous new dimension now that HarrisMoore is apparently joyriding in small aircraft. He is suspected of taking three planes from rural airports and crash-landing them.

Rwanda genocide suspect caught Godfrey Olukya and Rukmini Callimachi THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KAMPALA, UGANDA

��

A top suspect wanted for orchestrating the killings of thousands of people in Rwanda’s 1994 genocide — including children, hospital patients, priests and even an elderly and revered African queen — has been captured, police said Tuesday. Until last week, Nizeyimana was thought to have hidden in the jungles of eastern Congo, where he belonged to a militia called the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda that continues to commit atrocities. The Rwandan militia, made up of Hutus, is accused of having killed at least 1,000 civilians this year, including rampaging through a village and throwing children into a fire, human

A chilling, 23-page indictment from the Rwanda war crimes court alleges Nizeyimana was de facto head of Rwanda’s Senior Military Training College during the 1994 genocide, ordering entire Tutsi families to be slaughtered and giving grenades and transport to militiamen. He ordered roadblocks set up in Rwanda’s province of Butare, where Tutsis and Hutus had lived amicably together and where the genocide started later than in the rest of the country, the indictment said. At the roadblocks, Tutsis were identified by their ID cards and killed. Tribunal spokesman Ronald Amoussouga said the arrest of the former army captain and member of the president’s inner circle “is quite a significant development not only for the tribunal, but also for the quest for justice as a whole.”

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon welcomed Nizeyimana’s arrest and called on all countries to continue to cooperate fully with the Rwanda tribunal, U.N. spokeswoman Michele Montas said. Gregory Alex, who heads a U.N. team tasked with demobilizing rebels in Congo and repatriating them to Rwanda, said the capture was a major coup. “He’s important not only for his continuing role in the FDLR in the Congo, but also for his role during the genocide in Rwanda,” Alex said. “He is known for having spoken openly of the ‘work’ he conducted during the genocide. He is someone who has actually admitted that he is a genocide organizer and executor.”

U.S. and Iraqi officials said economic growth remains one of the keys to long-term stability in Iraq, but also acknowledge that the walls and other security measure remain a significant obstacle. Many say Samarra city has been forever changed by the war — and then by the effort to keep the peace: from the damaged and destroyed buildings that dot the cityscape to towering concrete walls that block roads, businesses and homes.

The U.S. military Tuesday handed over the last of its bases outside Samarra, a city billed as a reconciliation success story. Worries linger though that wartime remedies such as barriers and checkpoints will encourage divisions and undermine hardwon security gains. Nowhere is the split more apparent than in the half-mile passageway of blast walls leading to Samarra’s famed Shiite Askariya shrine, once a flash point for sectarian slaughter. On one side of the walls are struggling Sunni shopkeepers. On the other are their traditional customers, Shiite pil-

grims who for decades provided a steady stream of income for local merchants. The shrine — ravaged in a February 2006 blast blamed on Sunni insurgents — represents the quandary facing military and civic authorities across Iraq: How much can the lockdown tactics be lifted to restore some sense of normalcy. At the Samarra shrine, the issue pits security against economic viability. In Baghdad and other cities where some of the 15-foot blast walls have been pulled down, the neighborhoods that sat behind them have been deeply reordered by years of bloodshed between Sunnis who had power under Saddam Hussein and the major-

Pitching could decide Phils vs. Rockies Rob Maaddi

PHILADELPHIA

All those big boppers and two hitter-friendly ballparks sure make the Phillies-Rockies series look like a slugfest. Not so fast. When Colorado swept Philadelphia in the 2007 National League division series, the teams combined for only 24 runs in three games. Now, Jimenez each club boasts even stronger pitching. The Phillies have two former Cy Young Award winners and last year’s World Series and NLCS MVP on their staff. The Rockies were the only team in the majors to have all five starters reach double-digit wins. “I look at our starting pitching as very good,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. “I think it’s as good as any team in the National League, and I think that our starting pitching will play up big in this series.” The defending World Series champions are sending reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Cliff Lee (1413, 3.22 ERA with Indians and Phillies) to the mound for Game 1 today. Ubaldo Jimenez (15-12, 3.47) gets the start for Colorado. Both pitchers are quite aware the ball travels well at Citizens Bank Park, and they’re facing plenty of hitters who can drive them out. Neither Lee nor Jimenez will be intimidated. “I think it’s pretty well noted that it’s a hitter’s ballpark,” Lee said. “It still doesn’t mean you can’t throw right-handers in and you can’t come in on See Rockies, page 30

As Steamboat Springs High School senior Scott Ptach walked down the 15th fairway at Highlands Ranch Golf Club during the second day of the Class 4A state championships Tuesday, the full spectrum of his day — and career — crept

into his mind. Ptach, making his third appearance at the state tournament, was by his accounts having a horrible day.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

When cyclist Jon Cariveau headed to Nevada last month for the Interbike International Bike Show, he wasn’t planning to share the stage with a singing Elvis — but then, anything can happen in Las Vegas. Cariveau edged James Coats,

and 125 other racers, in the 2009 Wheelers and Dealers cyclocross race Sept. 23, and that’s exactly where he ended up — sharing the stage with Elvis during the race’s awards ceremony. “I guess that anything can happen in bike racing,” Cariveau said. Cariveau has raced in the professional class of the Las

Vegas cyclocross event the past couple of years. That class includes elite international cycling stars. But this year, the Steamboat Springs racer dropped a class into the Wheelers and Dealers race. He said the field in that class, which included several former national champions, is very competitive. However, it doesn’t reach the same level as

the professional class he has raced in the past couple of years. “The pro race has a much harder tempo and a much larger pool of talent,” Cariveau said. “It draws racers from around the world — including some of the top riders from Europe — and it’s one of the biggest races See Cyclocross, page 28

his third appearance at state, could never really get anything going Tuesday, shooting an 80 for a two-day total of 155. Capistron putted better than Monday’s opening round, but a tough late stretch had the junior shoot an 83 for a two-day total of 164. “I think they saw some really low scores come in Monday, and they put some extra pressure on themselves,” Steamboat coach Steve Dodson said. “That can backfire. Some putts weren’t going in, and that can snowball into a long day.” Tuesday’s round concluded the careers of Ptach and Gunderson. The two seniors had hopes of finishing in the top 10 after finishing tied for 11th at last year’s state championships. But unexpectedly low scores Monday and struggles Tuesday had the two on the outside looking in. Ptach started slow, doublebogeying four holes before he hit No. 15. Gunderson struggled with his putter all day but looked like he had turned it around after birdies at the par

5 Nos. 9 and 11. But he struggled on his last seven holes and clearly was disappointed in his round. “There’s not really much to say about it,” Gunderson said. “I don’t even know what I was doing. I felt good about the season, but this, it kind of sucks.” Capistron, fresh off hitting 13 greens Monday, struggled with his swing. Still, he was only 4-over-par through 13 holes, before he played his next three at 5-overpar. The junior, who was making his first appearance at state, said despite shooting two rounds higher than he expected, for a first time it was a good experience. “I wasn’t nervous on the first tee” Tuesday, Capistron said. “I’m going to take a break from golf for a bit, but I’m looking forward to it next year.” Despite the disappointment for Steamboat’s trio, the year wasn’t all bad. Steamboat won several tournaments as a team, and Gunderson had several individual low medalist honors. The year even has Ptach thinking long term.

Ptach said after he made the state tournament as a sophomore, he thought about not playing his junior or senior years. Now he’s not ruling out trying to play in college. “Playing the last couple of tournaments, I’ve thought about how much I love the sport,” he said. “I love how competitive it is. I love how it messes with your mind. I have been thinking more and more that I want to keep playing.” Valor Christian’s Wyndham Clark won the tournament, coming from three shots back after the first day to shoot a two-day total of 136. Clark shot a 67 on Tuesday to chase down Day 1 leader Drew Trujillo, of Montrose. Trujillo shot a 72 on Tuesday for a two-day total of 138. Valor Christian won the tournament with a 429. Rock Canyon was second with a 435.

said the atmosphere was electric, and the event was as exciting as the more elite level pro division. Cariveau broke away from the pack along with a group of about 10 other riders early in the race. In cyclocross, riders must navigate an off-road style course and must dismount and carry their bikes through certain sections of the course. Most races consist of multiple laps. “It’s like the steeple chase of bike racing,” Cariveau said about cyclocross. In the end, the race came down to a duel between Cariveau and Coats, of Campbell, Calif., who was riding for Specialized. Cariveau finished with a time of 28 minutes and 2 seconds. Coats was right behind him at 28:04, and Brendan O’Brien, of Morgan Hill, Calif., was third at 28:15. O’Brien also was riding for Specialized. Cariveau is hoping the top finish is just the beginning for his cyclocross season. Last weekend, the Steamboat Springs rider placed second at the Fourth Annual Frisco Cross, which was part of the 2009 Colorado cyclocross schedule. He leaves later this week for Providence, R.I., where he will attend Interbike’s Outdoor Demo East and compete in the Providence Cyclocross Festival. — To reach John F.

Twins take tiebreaker, 6-5 MLB

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINNEAPOLIS

The Metrodome erupted in a jet-like roar as Carlos Gomez zoomed home with the winning run to finish off an American League Central race — and a thrilling tiebreaker — that didn’t want to end. Minnesota wouldn’t quit, while the Detroit Tigers finished their historic fade. And there was little time for the Twins to celebrate, because the New York Yankees were waiting. Alexi Casilla singled home the winning run with one out in the 12th inning and the Twins rallied for a 6-5 victory Tuesday night, completing a colossal collapse for the Tigers. “This is the most unbelievable game I’ve ever played or seen,” Twins shortstop Orlando Cabrera said. How was that for bonus baseball? As Gomez scored from second — well ahead of a late throw from right field — Homer Hankies spiraled. The Twins celebrated and scrambled: They had 21 hours to get ready for Game 1 of the AL playoffs at Yankee Stadium against New York ace CC Sabathia. He’ll face rookie Brian Duensing. The Tigers will head home instead. They became the first team in history to blow a three-

game lead with four games left. “I guess it’s fitting to say there was a loser in this game because we lost the game, but it’s hard for me to believe there was a loser in this game,” Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. “Both teams played their hearts out. You can’t ask for anything more than that.” The Twins overcame a sevengame gap in the final month, went 17-4 to pull even on the final weekend and won their fifth division title in eight years. “We just feel like we have nothing to lose, man,” outfielder Denard Span said. Both teams had chance after chance to end it earlier, and each club scored in the 10th. Casilla was thrown out at the plate to end that inning by left fielder Ryan Raburn after tagging up. The Tigers thought they’d taken the lead in the 12th. But with the bases loaded, plate umpire Randy Marsh ruled that Brandon Inge was not hit by a pitch by Bobby Keppel. The replay appeared to show the pitch grazing Inge’s billowing uniform. “I did not have the ball hitting him. We looked at replays, too, and the replays we’ve looked at, to be honest with you, were inconclusive,” said Marsh, the crew chief.

Armstrong confident in revival of Colorado race Steven K. Paulson

DENVER

Lance Armstrong said he’s confident he can help bring bicycle racing back to Colorado after meeting Tuesday with Gov. Bill Ritter. Ar mstrong, who has a home in Aspen and has trained in the area, said that by 2011 he would like to revive the Coors Classic, a stage Armstrong race that began in the 1970s. Colorado is a natural race venue, with many professional riders and good terrain, Armstrong said. “There is no reason the Coors Classic doesn’t come back. I think U.S. cycling needs it,” Armstrong said. Armstrong said he envisions a race that resembled the Coors Classic “with new leadership and a new structure.” Ritter said the state is faced with a serious budget crisis, but there may be a way for the state

to help Armstrong revive the race by 2011 if Armstrong can find supporters. Ritter said he is trying to find a way to form a cycling commission that would raise money from sponsors. “I think Lance Armstrong is committed to some kind of race in Colorado. This is a big deal for us,” Ritter said with Armstrong by his side in the governor’s office. Colorado had a stage race in the 1970s and 1980s known first as the Red Zinger Classic and later as the Coors Classic, which grew to include two weeks of racing in California, Nevada and Colorado — with stages some years in Hawaii and Wyoming. It was considered one of the biggest stage races in the world. It last ran in 1988 because of a lack of sponsors. Coors is now part of Molson Coors Brewing Co. A spokeswoman for the company didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment.

lefties because you’re scared they’re going to hit a home run. Obviously, you get in certain situations where you might not want to come in on a guy. But for the most part, I’m going to pitch the way I pitch, regardless.” Pitching at Coors Field prepares Jimenez for just about anything, so he shouldn’t have trouble blocking it out of his mind. “The first thing is, I’m not going to be thinking about the park because it’s a hitter’s park, anybody can hit them out,” Jimenez said. “The only thing I can do is try to look at my fastball and try to throw everything down so they can hit groundballs.” Lee has faced the Rockies only once in his career, beating them, 3-1, on Aug. 6. He allowed one run and six hits, striking out nine in seven innings. Jimenez held the Phillies to one run in 6 1/3 innings in the

��

clincher of the ’07 series, but he is 0-1 with an 8.10 ERA in two regular-season starts against them. “Anybody in that lineup can hurt you,” Jimenez said. “It’s a tough lineup, a really tough lineup. It’s a big challenge. But there’s nothing you can do. The only thing, I’m going to go out there and just pitch my game, try to win.” Cole Hamels, who was dominant during Philadelphia’s postseason run last October, faces Aaron Cook in Game 2. Jason Hammel got the nod over AllStar Jason Marquis to pitch Game 3 for Colorado while the Phillies haven’t decided. They can use three-time Cy Young Award winner Pedro Martinez, Joe Blanton or J.A. Happ. The Rockies have the bullpen edge because closer Huston Street was 35 for 37 in save chances. Brad Lidge had 11 blown saves for the Phillies after going 48 for 48 last year. Manuel hasn’t committed to using Lidge or Ryan Madson or even Blanton or Happ in the closer’s role. “I’ll answer that when we get there,” he said. “Whoever you

see walking out there.” While they certainly have quality pitchers who are capable of shutting good lineups down, both teams are mostly known for their hitting. And they can hit anywhere in any size parks. The Phillies led the National League with 820 runs and 224 homers. The Rockies were second in both categories with 804 runs and 190 homers. By the way, both teams had middle-of-thepack staff ERAs. Philadelphia was sixth at 4.16 and Colorado was eighth at 4.22. All-Stars Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Jayson Werth, Raul Ibanez and Shane Victorino lead the Phillies’ lineup, which also includes 2007 NL MVP Jimmy Rollins. Troy Tulowitzki, Todd Helton, Brad Hawpe and Clint Barmes anchor a balanced Colorado attack. “Every team that’s in the playoffs right now, every lineup is full of unbelievable hitters,” Lee said. “There’s not much room for error with these types of lineups, and you’ve got to work ahead and you’ve got to stay out of the heart of the plate.”

‘Kind of Blue’ turns 50 Charles J. Gans

NEW YORK

Jimmy Cobb could hardly imagine he would be making history when he arrived at Columbia Records’ 30th Street Studio 50 years ago for the first of two recording sessions with Miles Davis. “I was always enthusiastic about making records with Miles,” said Cobb, who got to the studio before the other musicians to set up his drum kit. “I wasn’t told anything about what the music was going to be.” Cobb ended up being part of the all-star sextet, plus one, that recorded “Kind of Blue,” an album Quincy Jones (and many others) consider to be “one of the greatest records ever made.” Since its August 1959 release, “Kind of Blue” has ranked as one of the most influential and popular jazz albums with more than 4 million copies sold in the U.S., according to the Recording Industry Association of America — and recently has been reissued in deluxe box sets to mark its 50th anniversary.

But in 1959, Cobb — the last surviving musician in a group that included saxophonists John Coltrane and Julian “Cannonball” Adderley, pianists Bill Evans and Wynton Kelly, and bassist Paul Chambers — regarded it “as just another Miles Davis record date.” “It was relaxed and the guys always had fun around each other,” said Cobb. “It had to be the talent, the music, the studio ... I don’t know how that magic happens, but it happened those two days.” Jones, who as a young trumpeter in the ’50s was heavily influenced by his close friend Davis, considers “Kind of Blue” a culmination of a golden era in jazz that began in the late ’40s with the bebop revolution launched by Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. At the same time, the album foretold the new sounds that would emerge in the ’60s. “It’s a record that sounds like it was made yesterday. It’s

as hip as anything on the planet,” said Jones. “It’s the accumulation of everything that ... modern jazz is about. “I have given away hundreds of copies to kids all over the world and said, ‘I want you to treat this like orange juice, listening to it every morning.”’ The original album (only 37 minutes) has had a huge impact that extended beyond jazz to other genres — from rock musicians such as the Allman Brothers and Carlos Santana to minimalist composers like Steve Reich and Philip Glass. “Miles’ genius was that he was able to keep the quality of the creativity very high and at the same time make a work of art that communicated broadly,” said pianist Chick Corea. Cobb says the musicians struck a groove on the first track they recorded, “Freddie Freeloader,” a jaunty blues number that was the only tune to feature the more upbeat pianist Kelly.

Regina Lasko in March and said that he is intent upon repairing their marriage. “Let me tell you folks, I got my work cut out for me,” he said. CBS News producer Robert J. “Joe” Halderman has pleaded not guilty to charges of trying to extort $2 million from Letterman. Although Letterman has acknowledged having more than one sexual relationship with staff members, Halderman referred to only one woman by name — Stephanie Birkitt — in his alleged extortion attempt, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the continuing investigation. Birkitt, Letterman’s assistant, is Halderman’s former live-in girlfriend. The 5.7 million viewers who tuned in to Letterman on Monday more than doubled the audience for NBC’s “Tonight” show with Conan O’Brien, according to Nielsen ratings. It was slightly less than the 5.9 million who watched Thursday when Letterman broke the news of the alleged extortion attempt.

NEW YORK

Although David Letterman would undoubtedly do without the personal turmoil, his blackmail scandal is great for business. The late-night talk show host’s apologies to his wife and staff made for gripping television, and more viewers tuned in to his CBS program than watched anything on NBC in prime-time Monday. That includes Letterman’s old rival, Jay Leno. Letterman used most of his monologue for jokes at his own expense. In revealing last week that he was the victim of an alleged blackmail scheme, Letterman also admitted to having sexual relationships with women who worked on his “Late Show.” When the laughs quieted down, Letterman apologized to his staff for “putting up with something stupid I’ve gotten myself involved in.” Many had been humiliated by questions from reporters. Letterman said the relationships were in the past. He married longtime flame
