Duckels Construction owner Fred Duckels arrived at the site after the accident and helped police with the investigation.

Duckels said Meier was trying to turn on a water valve inside a utility vault when a compres-

sion cap on another water line blew off and hit him. Duckels said the fitting recently had been tested.

“You can take care of the safety, but that was kind of a freak thing,” Duckels said.

Duckels said Meier had worked for him for about two years and recently had built a house in Hayden. His wife, Jenny, survives him.

Book reveals Steamboat Springs you never knew

N

orthwest Colorado is blessed with a wealth of serious books about local history. And there is a brand-new volume that will quickly earn a place in your personal library. It will help you see Steamboat Springs the way the pioneers did. Literally.

Arcadia Publishing released “Images of America Steamboat Springs,” by David H. Ellis and Catherine H. Ellis late this year as part of its ongoing Images of America series. The books in the series are intended to tell stories from the past that continue to shape lives in towns and cities across America today.

I already have a roster of Routt County history books to rely on, but even at first glance, the Ellises’ new book taught me things I did not previously understand about the Yampa Valley.

To my knowledge, there is no other compact publication of

Tom Ross PILOT & TODAY

important Routt County historical images that rivals this one.

Early in my newspaper career here, I had the profound pleasure of interviewing people who described their first trip to Steamboat on a stagecoach.

There are photographs showing the stage that arrived here from Wolcott, closely resembling the archetypal carriage from the 1939 John Ford classic film, “Stagecoach,” starring Claire Trevor, John Wayne and the great Andy Devine.

That version of the stagecoach is lodged in my brain.

LIFT-UP of Routt County Food Bank volunteer Patty Wirschem’s church, the Steamboat Christian Center, is trying to collect a ton of food this month for the food bank.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Steamboat Christian Center wants to collect a ton of food donations this month — literally.

In an effort to provide a boost to LIFT-UP of Routt County’s food bank during one of its busiest seasons, the church in southern Steamboat Springs has set a goal of collecting 2,000 pounds in food donations in Colorado.

Pam Graham, LIFT-UP food bank manager, said most local churches support the organization by picking months to do food drives. “(Pastor) Troy (Lewis) thought they should do something more than that,” Graham said.

“It would definitely be a huge help. Every can that’s donated, every bag that’s donated, is one we don’t have to buy. … Everyone’s still struggling from the economic downturn and really, really needs some help.”

Graham said Steamboat’s shoulder seasons are some of the food bank’s busiest because many service industry workers have

their hours cut or earn fewer tips.

“We’re always busy this time of year,” she said.

Lewis said Youth Minister Jon Gagnon, the church’s youth members and other church groups have taken the lead in the effort.

Lewis said residents shouldn’t be surprised to see them out in Steamboat knocking on doors, and the church has procured a 19-foot cargo truck with a banner on it that will be stationed across the community collecting donations.

“Going into winter, we knew there was some concern,” Lewis said. “We’re going to be out there.”

Lewis added that anyone who wants to donate to LIFT-UP could take food to the donation center at 2125 Curve Court.

“Don’t wait on us,” Lewis said.

Donations collected by Steam­ boat Christian Center are being weighed before they are taken to LIFT-UP so the church can track its progress toward the goal.

Lewis said in the first week of October they collected 400 to 500 pounds of food.

“My sense is it will start to

build, and we’ll have more than a ton,” Lewis said.

The big final push will be Halloween, when Steamboat Christian Center will station its truck downtown to accept food donations or cash to buy food.

So how much food is in a ton?

Neither Lewis nor Graham could quite say. Graham guessed most food drives bring in 50 to 75 bags of groceries weighing about 20 pounds each. That would total 1,000 to 1,500 pounds.

“I don’t know what a ton of food looks like, but it sounds like a lot,” Lewis said. “But the more I think about it, it may not be that much, and we may get several tons.”

Either way, Graham said the church’s efforts would help LIFT-UP bridge the gap between autumn and the holiday season when food drives and other charitable activities kick into full gear.

“It will be phenomenal when they bring it in. I just can’t even imagine unloading a whole truckload of food,” Graham said.

“We are eagerly anticipating their delivery.”

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The Navigator Awards, presented by the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association and the Steamboat Pilot & Today will be presented October 30, 2009. These awards are designed to recognize the accomplishments and contributions of outstanding Chamber members and are presented annually to one local business and an individual who stand out as leaders in the business community.

If you know a local business or businessperson who has demonstrated outstanding leadership in support of the business community, please contact Meagan Coates at the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association at 875-7003, or go to steamboatchamber.com to obtain a nomination form. Hurry, the nomination deadline is Wednesday, October 14, 2009.

The snow visible on Storm Peak combined with an overnight forecast that included a chance of snow showers could encourage Nordic skiers to scrape the summer wax off their skis this morning. However, anyone hoping to make the annual pilgrimage to Bruce’s Trail will be disappointed.

Birgitta Lindgren, of the Steamboat Ski Touring Center, said Friday that it’s not time yet.

Regardless of snow conditions, fallen trees must be removed before the 10 kilometers of trails on Bruce’s can be machine groomed. That won’t happen until after next week.

“We’re headed up there this afternoon to look at it,” Lindgren said Friday. “We still have a lot of trail work to do.”

Bruce’s Trail was built in cooperation with the Routt National Forest to provide early season cross-country skiing. The trail was designed and constructed with Forest Service expertise and volunteer labor

Annually Honoring Steamboat’s Outstanding Business and Business Leader

more than a dozen years ago as a memorial to Bruce Ablin. An avid skier, he died in a bicycle accident here in 1992.

The trails are groomed by the Touring Center and volunteers such as Dave Miller, of the Steamboat Springs Nordic Council, under a long-standing guiding permit held by the Touring Center.

Often, Bruce’s Trail offers good Nordic skate skiing in October. Other years, the first day of skiing on Bruce’s doesn’t arrive until early November.

On Oct. 24, 2006, the temperature in downtown Steamboat was 60 degrees, but members of the U.S. Nordic Combined Ski Team were training on Bruce’s thanks to twin storms that dumped 20 inches of snow on Rabbit Ears the week before.

There were 30 cars in the parking lot that weekend.

In 2005, a series of storms dropped 21.5 inches of white stuff on Steamboat Ski Area during the last week in October, but there wasn’t nearly as much snow in the valley. That situSee Trees, page 5

I have a new work motto now that I have started a blog to disseminate information about my efforts to assist Maasai girls in Kenya that have been rescued from female genital mutilation and forced childhood marriage: You can make some of the people happy all of the time (they are my favorite!), Walker you can make some of the people happy some of the time and hopefully the rest of the people are happy at some point during the rest of the time.

Two years ago, when I first traveled to the Tasaru Girls Rescue Centre in Narok, Kenya, I sent a short letter to my family and closest friends telling them that I was going there to volunteer for a month.

This letter generated a decent amount of interest, and even some donations to help the rescue center. When I returned home, I dutifully sent a letter to everyone again describing my experiences, I think with a photo or two included. At 40-cents-plus a pop, this got pretty expensive!

On subsequent trips to Kenya, I decided to use e-mail technology to make my communications more efficient and a whole lot cheaper. I still need to send snail mail letters to those whom I did not have an e-mail address for. But as a “woman of a certain age” (i.e. just old enough to have avoided getting my computer training in school), I have to admit that I began to find e-mail really great. And because there is Internet access at the rescue center when I am in Kenya, I could easily send out e-mails from there — wow! For a woman of a certain age, what a nifty piece of technology!

As my involvement in the rescue center has grown, specifically now that I administer a nonprofit fund to assist girls from Tasaru when they complete secondary school and must leave the center, so have my communication needs skyrocketed. Due in large part to the interest generated by articles of my experiences published in See Walker, page 11

Cardboard boats afloat Moffat County High School holds regatta featuring themed ships Nicole Inglis

CRAIG DAILY PRESS

CRAIG

Moffat County High School seniors Jimmy Howe and Alex McKey were ready to make cardboard boat racing history.

Dressed in a poncho and sombrero, McKey pointed out the finer construction points of their taco canoe.

“Well, we picked the taco theme,” he said. “We didn’t really use any physics, we just kind of built it.”

The two spent nine hours building the canoe out of corrugated cardboard, duct tape and spray paint for the 2009 Great Cardboard Boat Regatta, an event required for advanced science students at MCHS. “It will definitely float,” Howe said. “As long as we can keep it from tipping over, we can win.”

The regatta, which took place

Friday at Loudy-Simpson Park, after the Homecoming parade, featured MCHS principal Thom Schnellinger in his kayak as a referee, and about 19 homemade cardboard boats.

The boats could hold any number of students and were required to paddle out and around a set of buoys in the fishing pond.

Next week at school, awards will be given out for fastest boat, best team spirit and best eye appeal.

But there’s one highly revered award that doesn’t come with any points; just pride and mild hypothermia.

The Titanic award will go to the boat with the most spectacular sinking, and though the award has yet to be given out, the taco boat might be in the running.

As soon as McKey and Howe jumped into their canoe, the taco tipped over and dumped

them into the freezing water.

The cardboard tomatoes they used as stools floated as the two struggled to get up.

“That wasn’t fun,” Mckey said later, shivering in the fall air.

“No, it was definitely still fun,” Howe said.

“You didn’t fall in the water three separate times,” McKey replied.

But they weren’t the only ones to capsize.

Johnny Hicks, who was riding solo, deserted his sinking ship and swam back to shore from the furthest point in the racecourse.

Themes ranged from pirate ships to Cinderella mice, Vik­ings to reptiles, with unique shapes, sizes and paddling techniques.

As their classmates and friends cheered form the shore, some students ditched their paddles and used their hands to propel themselves.

Forest Service removing dead lodgepoles ation translated into good coverage on Bruce’s Trail on Nov. 1 and some of the only groomed cross-country skiing in the state.

Lodgepole pine trees have historically shaded the trails at Bruce’s, a factor that helps

conserve early snow when the weather returns to autumn.

Now, those trees are dying as a result of the pine beetle infestation.

Lindgren said the Forest Service has been removing standing dead trees along the trail to help minimize the danger they represent and reduce

the work needed annually to ready the trails.

Skiers can monitor the Web site at www.steamboatxcski.org/ grooming.php for any updates on changes in the status of Bruce’s Trail.

nothing to indicate foul play was involved. Ryg said it appeared that Meier’s death was an acci­ dent.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration investi­ gators were expected to arrive in Steamboat late Friday.

Brady and Jenny Meier loved to dance, and shared their love of swing dancing with the com­ munity. A Nov. 2, 2007, article in the Steamboat Today fea­ tured Meier and Jenny as they prepared to host Lindy Hop swing dancing workshops in Steamboat Springs. According to that article, the Meiers start­ ed dancing when they were students at the University of Wyoming. Brady Meier started a club called the Swing Pokes — a play on the university’s “Pokes” nickname — that per­ formed at basketball games and social functions.

After graduating, the cou­ ple moved to New York City and danced with a profession­ al group called Varsity Swing.

They moved back West and rec­ ognized a need to encourage swing dancing locally.

“You get to know swing dancing, and you just fall in love with it,” Brady Meier told the Steamboat Today.

A phone number for Jenny Meier could not be located Friday afternoon.

The couple hosted more Lindy Hop dance workshops as recently as August’s inaugu­ ral Steamboat All Arts Festi­ val.

Brady Meier also talked in late August about his and Jenny’s desire to build their lives in Steamboat Springs. Meier addressed the City Council dur­ ing an Aug. 25 meeting about Steamboat 700.

“Steamboat is what we par­

ticipate in. It’s where we want to participate in, yet we can’t afford to live here,” he told council members at the meet­ ing. “All we want is a reasonable house with a small yard for our dog that’s big enough for two kids when the time comes and a spare bedroom for grandma and grandpa to come visit. …

(Steamboat 700) needs to be annexed because we feel like this is our last chance to move back.”

On Friday evening, Fred Duckels called Brady Meier a

model employee with a bright future. Meier was a construction superintendent for the 53-yearold company, and he was over­ seeing the base area construction project, Duckels said.

“I see people passing, and everyone says they were the best,” Duckels said. “I don’t know about that, but I know Brady was.”

COMMENTARY

Let Congress go without insurance Nicholas D. Kristof THE NEW YORK TIMES

Let me offer a modest proposal: If Congress fails to pass comprehensive health reform this year, its members should surrender health insurance in proportion with the American population that is uninsured.

It may be that the lulling effect of having very fine health insurance leaves members of Congress insensitive to the dysfunction of our existing insurance system. So Kristof what better way to attune our leaders to the needs of their constituents than to put them in the same position?

About 15 percent of Americans have no health insurance, according to the Census Bureau. Another 8 percent are underinsured, according to the Commonwealth Fund, a health policy

research group. So I propose that if health reform fails this year, 15 percent of members of Congress, along with their families, randomly lose all health insurance and another 8 percent receive inadequate coverage.

Congressional critics of President Barack Obama’s efforts to achieve health reform worry that universal coverage will be expensive, while their priority is to curb social spending. So here’s their chance to save government dollars in keeping with their own priorities.

Those same critics sometimes argue that universal coverage needn’t be a top priority because anybody can get coverage at the emergency room. Let them try that with their kids.

Some members also worry that a public option (an effective way to bring competition to the insurance market) would compete unfairly with private companies and amount to a step toward

socialism. If they object so passionately to “socialized health,” why don’t they block their 911 service to socialized police and fire services, disconnect themselves from socialized sewers and avoid socialized interstate highways?

I wouldn’t wish the trauma of losing health insurance on anyone, but our politicians’ failure to assure health care for all citizens is such a longstanding and grievous breach of their responsibility that they deserve it.

In January 1917, Progressive Magazine wrote: “At present the United States has the unenviable distinction of being the only great industrial nation without universal health insurance.”

More than 90 years later, we still have that distinction.

Theodore Roosevelt campaigned for national health insurance in 1912.

Richard Nixon tried for universal coverage in 1974. Yet, even now, nearly See Kristof, page 9

In defense of Glenn Beck Jonah Goldberg

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

For a self-described rodeo clown who frequently admits he isn’t that bright, Glenn Beck must be doing something right. A de facto leader of the populist backlash against President Barack Obama, he made the cover of Time magazine, with his tongue sticking out no less. His books are immediate best-sellers. His radio and TV shows have stratospheric ratings. His one-man comedy perforGoldberg mances draw packed audiences, and the proceeds from his numerous ventures have him making more than $20 million a year.

But perhaps his most impressive feat is his ability to unite a broad coalition of liberals, media scolds and conservatives under the single banner of Beck hatred.

MALLARD FILLMORE

Now, before I proceed, I should disclose the fact that I like Beck personally and that his support for my book “Liberal Fascism” was a huge boon, helping to push it to No. 1 on The New York Times best-seller list. As a Fox News contributor, I have appeared regularly on his show. Whether that gives me more, or less, credibility when I say I cannot defend some of the things he says is for others to decide.

Still, much of the anti-Beck backlash (He’s an extremist! He’s paranoid! He’s hate-filled!) from the left is hard to take seriously. First, this is a crowd that lets Michael Moore and Janeane Garofalo speak for them and that celebrated the election of unfunny man Al Franken to the Senate. If you think it’s racist to oppose Obama’s health care reform efforts, it goes without saying that you’ll think Beck is an extremist. This is what liberals always say about popular rightwingers, including Barry Goldwater,

Ronald Reagan and William F. Buckley.

For more than 20 years, liberals, including Presidents Bill Clinton and Obama, have insisted that Rush Limbaugh is everything from an unpatriotic hatemonger to an enabler of domestic terrorism. It makes sense that they’d give Beck the same business.

The darling of the left Or consider Jon Stewart, the legitimately funny host of “The Daily Show.”

Stewart is reminiscent of Will Rogers — a humorist who was nonetheless anointed by the National Press Club as the “ambassador at large of the United States.” The liberal establishment swoons over him. The Television Critics Association bequeathed its award for outstanding achievement in news and information to a show that isn’t even a news show.

VIEWPOINTS

Kristof continued from 8 half of Congress is vigorously opposed to such a plan.

Health care has often been debated as a technical or economic issue. That has been a mistake, I believe. At root, universal health care is not an economic or technical question but a moral one.

We accept that life is unfair, that some people will live in cramped apartments and others in sprawling mansions.

But our existing insurance system is not simply inequitable but also lethal: a very recent, peer-reviewed article in the American Journal of Public Health finds nearly 45,000 uninsured people die annually as a consequence of not having insurance. That’s one needless death every 12 minutes.

When nearly 3,000 people were killed on 9/11, we began wars and were willing to devote more than $1 trillion in additional expenses. Yet about the

same number of Americans die from our failed insurance system every three weeks.

The obstacle isn’t so much money as priorities. America made it a priority to provide tax breaks, largely to the wealthy, in the Bush years, at a 10-year cost including interest of $2.4 trillion. Allocating less than half that much to assure equal access to health care isn’t deemed an equal priority.

The plan emerging in the Senate is no panacea. America needs to promote exercise and discourage sugary drinks to hold down the rise in obesity, diabetes and medical bills. We need more competition among insurance companies. And conservatives are right to call for tort reform to reduce the costs of malpractice insurance and defensive medicine.

But those steps are not a substitute for guaranteed health coverage for all Americans. And if health reform fails this year, then

hopes for universal coverage will recede again. There was a lag of 19 years after the Nixon plan before another serious try, and a 16-year lag after the Clinton effort of 1993.

Another 16-year delay would be accompanied by more than 700,000 unnecessary deaths. That’s more Americans than died in World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam and Iraq combined.

The collapse of health reform would be a political and policy failure, but it also would be a profound moral failure. Periodically, there are political questions that are fundamentally moral, including slavery in the 19th century and civil rights battles in the 1950s and ’60s.

In the same way, allowing tens of thousands of Americans to die each year because they are uninsured is not simply unwise and unfortunate. It is also wrong — a moral blot on a great nation.

Beck adept at popularizing conservatism seems to have a man-crush on the Peabody comedian, while Bill Moyers of PBS insists that “you simply can’t understand American politics in the new millennium without ‘The Daily Show.’” The hosts of NPR’s in-house press watchdog show, “On the Media,” claim Stewart as their role model!

Stewart’s M.O. is to launch lightning attacks as a left-wing pundit and then quickly retreat to his haven across the border in Comedystan, but Beck must be pelted from the public stage for blurring the line between theater and punditry? Really?

Over at MSNBC, which until recently floated no end of paranoid theories about neoconservative plots, Beck is boogeyman for his sometimes bombastic rhetoric about fascism and whatnot. Some complaints have merit, but this is the same network whose favorite conservative pundit is the populist Pat Buchanan, not even a Republican, who has written a book explaining why World War II was a mistake and how Hitler craved peace.

Meanwhile, Keith Olber­ mann’s shtick is far more dishonest: He pretends he’s

Edward R. Murrow reincarnated when he’s really Franken with more important hair.

The conservative criticism has more bite. Many conservatives believe Beck is undermining conservatism with his often goofy style and his sometimes outlandish and paranoiatinged diatribes. In an ode to conservatives such as Buckley, my friend Charles Murray writes, “Don’t tell me that we have to put up with the Glenn Becks of the world to be successful. Within living memory, the right was successful. The right changed the country for the better — through good arguments made by fine men.”

Murray is nostalgic for conservative leaders who were, like Murray himself, soft-spoken intellectuals.

There are problems with such nostalgia. First, there has always been a populist front on the right, even during the “glory days” when Buckley was saying he’d rather be governed by the first 2,000 names in the Boston phonebook than the faculty at Harvard.

Moreover, whatever Beck or Limbaugh’s faults, they are more cheerful — and more responsible — warriors than the populist right-wingers of

yesteryear. The Tea Partiers may be rowdy and ideologically diffuse, but their goals — like Beck’s — are indisputably libertarian.

And from a conservative perspective, popular libertarian uprisings should be preferable to the sort of statist populism so often celebrated on the left.

An accessible movement Most important, popularity is what the intellectuals were fighting for: to create a conservative culture (Americans describe themselves as conservative instead of liberal 2-1).

By definition, making conservatism popular means making it less stuffy and intellectual and more accessible. Not only is Beck good at that, he actually gets people to read serious books in ways Buckley never could. Why defenestrate him from the house of conservatism merely to preserve the rarefied air?

Besides, why should conservatives support an unfair double standard?

Liberals never see the antics of their more flamboyant celebrities as an indictment of liberalism itself. Perhaps it’s time conservatives adopted a more liberal standard.

And instead of letters every few months to friends, family and a handful of financial donors, I now have more than 150 regular and repeat donors to the nonprofit fund, sponsors of specific girls from Tasaru, a growing number of friends, and my family to keep up to speed with how their donations are being used to support girls from the rescue center. And for every friend, donor or family member who wants to know how things are going for the girls in Kenya, there are usually a handful more, through word of mouth, who want in on the effort to improve these wonderful girls’ lives.

Communication is now a daily priority.

But mention the word “blog” as a personal means of communication to a woman of a certain age (unless it’s Arianna Huffington or Tina Brown) or lots of other people, and you will probably get a lukewarm response.

whom I will need to please at another time). I know the pitfalls: People think I will expect them to dutifully check my blog for information about the weather in Kenya, what I had for supper (the same thing I had for supper last night: ugali and cabbage) and how many girls have malaria. People will think I’ve just unloaded a major responsibility — that of composing personable, interesting e-mails and letters — in exchange for long-winded impersonal blog entries.

But in my defense, I must strive forward with my blog because it will mean incredibly more efficient communication that will benefit the girls at Tasaru so much more. I ask only that people give it a chance, take the time to look at all of the information about female genital mutilation and the statistics about girls and education, check out all of the photos that I am able to include, and then pass it along to a friend or share it with a book club or church group.

It is wonderful to be stopped in the grocery store by someone I don’t know, and many I do, who want information about Tasaru, the girls there or how they can help. Wonderful! And I’m learning just how important it is to never let these opportunities pass because each such encounter could mean that one more girl from Tasaru has a fighting chance.

Now, thanks to the Ellises, I’ve quickly come to grasp that, historically, stagecoaches here came in many shapes and sizes.

During the first half of the 20th century, any cart or wagon that could ferry freight and passengers over rutted, muddy, snowy roads was pressed into service as a stagecoach.

In the winter of 1939-40, in the snowbound hamlet of Columbine, Cyrus Hartzell’s horse-drawn hay sled, with a partial Conestoga-style canvas cover for the passengers, made a serviceable stagecoach. Even Burkie Byer’s two-wheeled horse cart with scarcely any room for passengers would do in a pinch.

Of course, if the Images of America series is meant to inform readers of how their town’s history shapes modern life, then the Ellises’ book has to chronicle the history of skiing here. Although the opening chapter is devoted to Ski Town

USA, the overall book is more about the rise of western civilization in the Yampa Valley.

There are images of schoolteachers, miners, logging flumes, railroad trestles, Ute Indians, a 1920s horse packing trip to Upper Island Lake in the Flat Tops, pugilists, cowhands and World War II-era cheerleaders.

What will this fall’s City Council candidates think when they read that back in the day, the town council issued an edict banning horse racing on public streets on Sunday mornings?

The book is deliberately light on text, but it isn’t lacking in that regard. There are detailed introductions to each chapter, and photo captions are rich with historical details — in particular, the names of the people pictured.

Judging from the prose in the book’s introduction, which rises to the level of poetry, either the Ellises disciplined themselves to keep the text

DENVER

The father of an Afghan immigrant who is accused of plotting a terrorism attack in New York City pleaded not guilty Friday to a charge of

lying to investigators.

Wearing a black pinstriped suit, Mohammed Zazi, 53, lis­ tened to court proceedings through a Pashto interpreter from Staten Island, N.Y. Federal public defender Ed­w­ ard Harris entered the plea on

Zazi’s behalf.

Zazi was indicted Thursday for allegedly making a false statement in a matter involving terrorism.

He was arrested last month on that charge pending a grand jury indictment and is free under electronic monitoring on $50,000 bail.

Zazi’s son, Najibullah Zazi, is being held without bond in New York. He has pleaded not guilty to a charge of conspiring to det­ onate explosives in the United States. Outside of court, Harris said the indictment, announced by prosecutors this week, came as no surprise.

“It takes a very minimal quantum of evidence to get an indictment,” Harris said.

Harris indicated that among the issues of whether Mohammed Zazi lied to inves­ tigators is how language played a role, but he declined to com­ ment on specifics.

“We have not seen a shred of evidence to date,” Harris said.

Harris also declined to answer questions about Mohammed Zazi’s living arrangements or whether he is able find work.

U.S. attorney spokesman Jeff Dorschner said Zazi was released on the same condi­ tions previously set by U.S. Magistrate Judge Craig Shaffer.

The indictment alleges Moha­mmed Zazi lied to the FBI when asked whether he had spoken to anyone on the phone about whether his son was in any trouble with authorities.

In an affidavit filed last month, investigators say Mohammed Zazi placed a 20-minute call to a New York imam while his son was in the city on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

He also spoke by phone with his son and told him he should hire an attorney, according to the document.

“What has happened? What have you guys done?” Moha­ mmed Zazi asked his son, according to the affidavit filed as part of a criminal complaint.

If convicted of lying to authorities, Mohammed Zazi faces a maximum of eight years in prison.

Federal authorities accuse the younger Zazi of trying to make homemade explosives using ingredients from beauty supply stores in the Denver area.

Authorities say the 24-yearold, who allegedly received terror training at an al-Qaida camp in Pakistan, was plotting an attack in New York City on Sept. 11.

The interpreter was brought in from New York because there is no one locally certified in Pashto.

Arapahoe Basin now open THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AROUND COLORADO KEYSTONE

Two Colorado ski resorts are now open for the season.

Arapahoe Basin Ski Area opened Friday morning, two days after Loveland Ski Area.

It’s the earliest opening day for the ski area, beating the previous record from 2007 by one day.

A-Basin reported that 1,200 skiers and snowboarders turned out within the first two hours.

The resort has one run open with an 18-inch base. Some parts of its terrain park also are open.

Defense bill to include $381M for Fort Carson DENVER

A defense bill nearing passage in Congress includes $381 million for construction at Fort Carson and $92.5 million for a project to destroy mustard agent at the Pueblo Chemical Weapons Depot.

The bill also includes nearly $78 million for construction or land purchases at Colorado’s Peterson, Schriever and Buckley Air Force bases, the Air Force Academy and a Colorado Springs Army Reserve center.

Colorado state workers take 2nd furlough day DENVER

Many state offices were closed again Friday for another furlough day to help save money.

It was the second of four furlough days ordered by Gov. Bill Ritter earlier this year to save $13.6 million in the face of a budget shortfall. Legislators cut the budget and gave him the option of cutting salaries or calling for unpaid days off.

Gubernatorial candidate McInnis avoiding debates DENVER

Colorado gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis is avoiding debates with Josh Penry, his rival in the Republican primary.

McInnis’ campaign manager, Mike Hesse, says the focus needs to be on beating Democratic Gov. Bill Ritter next year instead of on debates that could lead to intraparty squabbles.

Hesse says the last thing McInnis wants is a primary similar to those that have plagued the party in recent years.

Ritter visits San Luis Valley, first stop is health center ALAMOSA

Health care and jobs are on the agenda for Gov. Bill Ritter

as he starts two days of visits in the San Luis Valley.

The governor stops first at a health clinic in Alamosa on Friday to announce a $42 million federal grant for the center.

After that Ritter holds a town hall meeting at Adams State College.

The governor then plans town hall and public meetings in Costilla, Conejos, Saguache and Rio Grande counties. The trip wraps up Saturday afternoon.

Few impressed by NASA Public finds little spectacle in moon crash mission Seth Borenstein

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

NASA’s great lunar fireworks finale fizzled.

After gearing up for the space agency’s much-hyped mission to hurl two spacecraft into the moon, the public turned away from the sky Friday anything but dazzled. Photos and video of the impact showed little more than a fuzzy white flash.

In social media and live television coverage, many people were disappointed at the lack of spectacle. One person even joked that someone hit the pause button in mission control.

Yet scientists involved in the project were downright gleeful.

Sure, there were no immediate pictures of spewing plumes of lunar dust that could contain water, but, they say, there was something more important: chemical signatures in light waves.

That’s the real bonanza, not pictures of geyser-like eruptions of debris, the scientists said.

The mission was executed for “a scientific purpose, not to put on a fireworks display for the public,” said space consultant Alan Stern, a former NASA associate administrator for science.

But experts faulted NASA for overhyping the mission and not being honest with the public about the images being a longshot.

‘Read the bill’ not as easy as it seems Wording makes health care legislation difficult to decipher for general public Erica Werner

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

Read the bill!

It was a rallying cry at angry health care town halls this summer and has evolved into something of a political movement. Many Americans are demanding that lawmakers actually read the comprehensive legislation they’ve written — or at least make it publicly available — before voting on it.

The push for transparency has become a running side debate in Congress, with lawmakers — often minority Republicans, but some Democrats too — pressing leaders to post measures online for 72 hours before a vote.

“I don’t think the American people can be left in the dark,” House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said this week.

It might sound like a nobrainer. President Barack Obama has made transparency a watchword of his administration, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pledged upon

taking office to “create the most open and honest government in history.”

So what’s the problem?

Well, have you ever tried reading a bill?

They can be virtually unintelligible. Written in legalese and peppered with cross references to other laws or statutes that are never explained, they defy understanding by anyone without a law degree or years of legislative experience.

Even lawmakers don’t usually read the bills; that’s what staff members are for.

“The minutiae of legal drafting is not necessarily related to understanding the concepts in the bill,” said Rep. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D. The impenetrability of legislative language is not in itself an argument against posting bills online and letting voters try to figure them out.

That happened during the summer with the House’s 1,017page health care bill, with mixed results. Some sections of the bill were taken out of context or misunderstood, often to feed critics’ political agendas.

CDC: 76 children dead in swine flu epidemic Mike Stobbe

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA

Health officials said Friday that 76 U.S. children have died of swine flu, including 19 new reports in the past week — more evidence the new virus is unusually dangerous for the young.

The regular flu kills between 46 and 88 children a year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That suggests deaths from the new H1N1 virus could dramatically outpace children’s deaths from seasonal flu, if swine flu continues to spread as it has.

CDC officials say 10 more states, a total of 37, now have widespread swine flu. A week ago, reports suggested that cases might be leveling off and even falling in some areas of the country, but that did not turn out to be an enduring national trend.

“We are seeing more illness, more hospitalizations, and more deaths,” the CDC’s Dr. Anne Schuchat said at a news

conference Friday.

The new virus, first identified in April, is a global epidemic. The CDC doesn’t have an exact count of all swine flu deaths and hospitalizations, but existing reports suggest more than 600 have died and more than 9,000 have been hospitalized. Health officials think millions of Americans have caught the virus.

The virus is hitting young people harder. Experts think older people are suffering from it less, perhaps because they have a bit of immunity from exposure throughout the years to somewhat similar viruses.

Most healthy children recover and often suffer only mild symptoms. But some have died from it, often from a second infection that moves in while the body is weakened from the flu.

Kids with asthma or chronic heart or respiratory conditions also are at greater risk for serious complications.

Experts say it’s important for parents to watch their children’s symptoms carefully.

Sailors tennis regional champs Title is boys team’s 12th consecutive Luke Graham

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The last thing Vladan Chase and Jeff Lambart wanted during their senior season was to see the Steamboat Springs High School tennis team relinquish its stranglehold on the region.

Chase and Lambart can breathe a sigh of relief after Steamboat won its 12th consecutive regional title in dominating fashion.

The Sailors, odds on favorites at nearly every position, breezed through the finals Friday at the second day of the regional tournament in Delta, picking up regional champions at every spot.

The wins also qualify the entire Steamboat team for the state tennis tournament next weekend in Pueblo.

“It’s definitely a big weight off your shoulders,” Chase said.

“Steamboat’s known for its great tennis. You don’t want to be the one that loses that regional run.”

There weren’t really any questions Friday.

After cruising through Thursday’s opening round not losing a set, Steamboat did the same thing Friday.

Singles players Jamey Swiggart, Keegan Burger and Mirko Erspamer all won in straight sets, as did the No. 1 doubles team of Jeff Lambart and Jack Burger, No. 2 doubles team of Vladan Chase and Max Roder, No. 3 doubles team of Luke Farny and Callum Richman and the No. 4 doubles team of Gabri Erspamer and Kyle Rogers.

“I really did not expect for it to come out as well and easy as it did,” Steamboat coach John Aragon said. “We were sick, and Aspen had some really good players. I think these guys played See Tennis, page 21

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

With the watchful eyes of members of the 1979 Steamboat Springs High School football team in attendance — the last time Steamboat won a football title — the current Steamboat team made its case Friday as the team to beat for this year’s crown.

Although Steamboat wasn’t as crisp as it has been this year, Steamboat and senior all-everything playmaker Joe Dover did all they could to cement themselves as the top team in Class 3A with a 34-0 win against Rifle on Friday.

“They were at the game?

That’s pretty sweet,” Dover said about the 1979 players. “We didn’t know that, but that was a good game for them to watch.

We’d like to replicate what they did in 1979. We want to bring the golden ball back. We have the team to do it, but we have to get better.”

One player who seems to be doing better is Dover. The senior, after battling offseason back surgery and a pulled hamstring, declared himself 100 percent Friday night.

And boy, did he ever show it.

Dover scored four touch-

downs and showed the playmaking ability that makes this Steamboat team so dangerous.

After Steamboat (6-0 overall, 5-0 in the Western Slope League) had taken a 7-0 lead early in the second quarter on a 7-yard pass from Austin Hinder to Jack Spady, Dover took over.

He caught a 23-yard touchdown pass from Hinder and See Sailors, page 21

OAK CREEK

After a 28-15 win against previously unbeaten Dove Creek on Friday night, the members of the Soroco Rams football team walked off the field feeling like they had learned more than how to win a football game.

They felt like they had learned what it takes to be champions.

“Coach (David) Bruner told us this is what champions are made of, and we had to make a stop right there,” Soroco linebacker David Strait said. “So we pulled it together, and we knew we had to get it done.”

Dove Creek needed less than a yard to keep its hopes for a late game run alive with less than two minutes left to play. The team had built some momentum behind its power running back, Justin Guynes.

Guynes sparked a sustained drive with runs of 10 yards and nine yards. But a couple of solid defense plays by Strait

and teammate Gage Achtner had forced a fourth-and-one.

“Basically, the coaches told us to give it all we had,” Achtner said. “This is a team that beat us easily last year. It was a very good team, and we didn’t want to give them any hope.”

As expected, the Bulldogs See Rams, page 20

What started with a big Texan believing he could kick a 30-yard field goal has now turned into a don’t-miss competition.

Starting at 1 p.m. Sunday, the seventh annual Hammy Pull punt, pass and kick competition will be open to the masses. The event takes place at Gardner Field.

Registration starts at 12:30 p.m. The $30 entry fee benefits the Steamboat Springs High School Booster Club, specifically in helping to buy new mats for the wrestling team.

If you go What: 7th annual Hammy Pull punt, pass and kick competition When: 1 p.m. Sunday, registration starts at 12:30 p.m.

Where: Gardner Field Cost: $30 benefits the Steamboat Springs High School Booster Club

The event started in 2002 when organizer Jim Miller and his friends were watching a high school football game.

Steamboat was lining up for a 30-yard field goal when one of Miller’s friends said, “I could do that.”

The next day, Miller and his friends went to the fields to see what exactly they could do.

“We have so much fun doing

it, we figured why not let everyone else have fun?” Miller said.

“We figured we’d help the community, and who better to benefit than Steamboat Springs youth sports?”

Prizes include a round of golf for four at Catamount Ranch & Club, a putter, day ski passes and gift certificates to local restaurants, among others.

But the real prize, Miller said, is getting the winner’s name on the trophy and getting to keep it for a full year.

“That’s the true glory,” he said. “It’s like the Stanley Cup where the winner keeps the trophy for a year.”

put the game in the hands of their top runner, but Guynes was stopped short of the mark, and Bruner said that was the turning point of the game.

“Our kids played great, and they’ve worked really hard to get to where they are,” Bruner said after the game. “We played kind of conservatively on offense in the second half, but our defense came through when it was on the line.”

The victory boosted the Rams to 6-0 this season and dropped Dove Creek to 5-1.

The game started with a scoreless first quarter, but in the second, both teams came to life, scoring 29 points, including 19

in the first couple of minutes.

The first of two Rams touchdowns came on the opening play of the second quarter when Cody Miles hit A.J. Anderson with a six-yard pass for a touchdown. The two-point conversion failed, but the Rams had a 6-0 lead. The Rams completed a successful onside kick on the ensuing kickoff and were rewarded with good field position. The home team took advantage as Alex Estes scored on a 43-yard touchdown run.

The conversion failed, but the Rams took a 12-0 lead.

Dove Creek got on the board on the next possession when Levi Randolph broke a 50-yard run up the middle for the Bulldogs’ first touchdown. The scoring

parade continued as Miles hit Pie Lombardi with a 45-yard touchdown pass. Miles connected with Jacob Hange to bring the Rams’ total to 20 in the second quarter.

Dove Creek got a safety later in the quarter when Miles tried to unload a pass from his own end zone. The pass was ruled intentional grounding, making the score 20-9 at the break.

In the second half, Hange pulled in a pass for a 60-yard touchdown. Lombardi pulled in Miles’ pass to complete the two-point conversion to extend the Rams lead to 28-9. Guyner rushed for another touchdown to make the final score 28-15.

Sailors face Battle Mountain on Friday Sailors continued from 19 then returned an interception 83 yards to close out the half, giving the Sailors a 21-0 lead.

In the second half, Dover reeled off runs of 57 and 52 yards to give Steamboat the final advantage.

“He does OK,” Steamboat coach Aaron Finch jokingly said about Dover, who had 12 carries for 165 yards. “He gets after it.”

For Rifle, however, it was missed opportunity after missed opportunity.

The Bears (2-4, 1-3) came out with the perfect game plan to slow down the Sailors.

Playing a ball-controlled type of offense and a blitzing defense, Rifle won the first half on paper but not the scoreboard.

In the first half, Rifle ran 33 plays to Steamboat’s 18 and outgained the Sailors 121 to 119. Steamboat’s potent offense had only three offensive possessions in the first half but scored on two of those, including the 23-yard touchdown pass to Dover on 4th-and-goal.

“We just had too many critical mistakes,” said Rifle coach Ryan Sulkowski, whose team had eight penalties for 74 yards in the first half and 12 penalties for 114 yards in the game.

Organizer says competition is wide open Hammy Pull continued from 20 Costumes are encouraged, and those who compete in them get a mulligan on their field goal kick.

In last year’s Hammy Pull, PJ Wharton kicked a 45-yard field goal in a suit and hiking boots.

To encourage more entrants, Miller said, they designed the competition around Sunday’s

sports slate.

Miller pointed to the fact that Sunday’s early NFL games may be the worst, as the teams have a combined 3-27 record. Add in that last year’s champ, Rob Trask, who kicked a 50-yard field goal, threw a 60-yard pass and hit a 45-yard punt, won’t be there, and Miller said the competition would be wide open.

“Come kick, throw and run,

COMICS & MORE Daily Horoscope by Eugenia Last

Overboard ® Chip Dunham

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Mya, 30; Jodi Lyn O’Keefe, 31; Brett Favre, 40; David Lee Roth, 55 Happy Birthday: There are plenty of things to consider before you can possibly more on from the past. Unless you resolve, rethink or redo, nothing can be accomplished.

Pick up the pieces. You can make so many gains professionally, personally and financially if you just do what’s required of yourself quickly and efficiently. Your numbers are 4, 11, 15, 26, 32, 47, 49 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Difficulties at home will leave you questioning if you have made the right choices lately. Before you are too hard on yourself, consider that other people have contributed to the goings on and you are probably better off taking a wait-and-see attitude, even if it doesn’t suit your Aries personality. ★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Get on track and do something spectacular that will surprise your friends and encourage your family to pitch in and help. An onlooker may be jealous and try to cause problems, so stick to your plans and surround yourself with the people you know and love. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t feel pressured to make a decision if you aren’t ready. Focus on what you can do for others and get involved in a cause that will bring you in contact with creative people of common interests. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you don’t like something, keep it to yourself until you are in a better frame of mind. You are likely to be out of sorts regarding a financial obligation or deal you have made.

Take time to think matters through.

★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A change of plans may upset you at first but, if you move forward without a fuss, things will fall into place. A short trip will be exhilarating and bring you in contact with someone you find fascinating. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Follow your own path and don’t give in to anyone trying to manipulate what you do or where you go.

Take control and you will gain ground financially, personally and emotionally. You will gain respect if you take the initiative. ★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take a break. Trying to work or do things the way others want you to do them will be futile. Instead, give yourself some space so you can recognize why things aren’t going according to plan. Perhaps you need to redirect your efforts. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You should be moving about experiencing new things and taking advantage of the freedom you have to explore new avenues. Travel will enable you to meet someone who can contribute to a work in progress.

Love will take you on a strange journey. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may not be seeing the broader picture when it comes to your work or your personal life. Let things unfold naturally and you will avoid some of the pitfalls of making a decision based on partial facts.

Cathy ® Cathy Guisewite

★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Show everyone the side of you that is fun-loving, free-spirited and playful. Concentrate on making the most of the relationships you cherish and sorting through any of the emotional troubles your loved ones have been experiencing. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll view things differently if you put yourself in someone else’s shoes.

Compassion, understanding and fair play will get you a whole lot further ahead when dealing with emotional issues, settlements or agreements.

Monty ® Jim Meddick

★★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A relationship that is important to you can be brought out into the open. Then you can clarify what you want, what you expect and what your plans for the future might be.

★★★★★

Birthday Baby: You are emotional and sensitive. You are imaginative, innovative and interested in doing something that will make a difference.

Santa Fe Opera OK’s drilling Buddies Damon, Affleck also are distant relatives

Residents fume about sale of donated land to oil company Deborah Baker

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA FE, N.M.

Residents of pastoral Mora County have been watching records in the county clerk’s office ever since the oil and gas industry began eyeing a big swath of land in the area.

What they found on file recently was a stunner: The Santa Fe Opera had given permission to drill on nearly 27,000 acres in Mora and neighboring San Miguel counties.

Turns out the opera company had been given the mineral rights in 2002 as part of a bequest from a longtime donor.

She specified that it be used to support an apprentice program for young singers.

Drilling foes worry that oil and gas wells will pollute water and air, harm wildlife and ruin the quality of life in the area.

They are outraged that an internationally recognized institution like the Santa Fe Opera could potentially profit from oil and gas drilling.

“I was shocked to see that the Santa Fe Opera’s name was on this lease,” said Kathleen Dudley, an artist and musician who has a small farm near the community of Ocate and co-chairs the watchdog group

Drilling Mora County.

“To see an art company sell out the environment, that was a very egregious act as far as I was concerned,” Dudley said.

When the opera lease, signed in April, came to light a few weeks ago, general director Charles MacKay said the opera was simply making a financially responsible decision. The opera received an upfront payment of $150,000 and stands to get a cut of future proceeds from the lease.

But the ensuing outcry has the opera changing its tune, with officials saying they will try to find a resolution that addresses people’s concerns.

close to Blagojevich’s team who was briefed on the plan. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because it hadn’t been officially announced, said Blagojevich would be paid but the amount was undisclosed.

It was unclear whether Blagojevich would compete or just make an appearance on the show.

“NBC doesn’t comment on casting until there’s an official announcement to be made,”

NBC spokeswoman Amanda Ruisi said Friday.

Blagojevich spokesman Glenn Selig could not immediately be reached for comment Friday.

Blagojevich faces federal corruption charges for allegedly scheming to sell or trade President Barack Obama’s former U.S. Senate seat for campaign money or a high-paying job for his wife or himself. He has pleaded not guilty and said he has done nothing wrong.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

It seems Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are more than childhood pals and Hollywood collaborators.

According to the New England Genealogical Society, they’re also cousins. Tenth cousins, once removed, that is.

Society researchers dug up evidence that Damon and Affleck are descended from William Knowlton Jr. He was a bricklayer who came to the U.S. from England in the 1630s and settled in Ipswich.

The society said Friday that Affleck has lots of other famous relatives, including 16 U.S. presidents — Barack Obama among them — and the late Princess Diana.

Nick Nolte’s son, Brawley, arrested on DUI charge SANTA MONICA, CALIF.

Santa Monica police said actor Nick Nolte’s son has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of a controlled substance.

Sgt. Jay Trisler says 23-yearold Brawley Nolte was driving north on Pacific Coast Highway

Tuesday afternoon when he made a lane change and struck a vehicle in front of him.

Officers called to the scene believed Nolte had been driving while impaired. Trisler says Nolte was arrested following a series of sobriety tests. He was freed after posting $5,000 bail.

Clinton settles O’Brien’s ‘feud’ with Newark mayor

NEWARK, N.J.

The nation’s top diplomat has defused the facetious feud between Conan O’Brien and the mayor of Newark.

Hillary Rodham Clinton sent a video message chiding O’Brien that was featured on Thursday’s episode of “The Tonight Show.”

The quote-unquote “feud” between the TV host and Mayor Cory Booker began last month when O’Brien joked that Booker’s new health care program consisted of a bus ticket out of gritty Newark. Booker replied, tongue in cheek, by banning O’Brien from the busy Newark airport.

Bomb kills 49 in Pakistan Country vows offensive against militant strongholds on border Riaz Khan

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PESHAWAR, PAKISTAN

Pakistan vowed to launch a new offensive against militant strongholds along the Afghan border after a suicide bomber blew up a car near a crowded outdoor market Friday, killing 49 people in the bloodiest attack to hit the country in six months.

The United States has been pushing Pakistan to take strong action against insurgents who are using its soil as a base for attacks in neighboring Afghanistan. A push into the rugged mountains of South Waziristan could be risky for the army, which was beaten back on three previous offensives into the Taliban heartland there and forced to sign peace deals.

Malik said the militants had left the government “no other option” but to hit back. “We will have to proceed,” he told a local television station. “All roads are leading to South Waziristan.”

The massive blast tore through a busy road in the heart of Peshawar, a city of more than 3 million people.

the move was part of a new strategy outlined months ago by the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, to shut down remote difficult-to-defend outposts and redirect forces toward larger population areas to protect more civilians.

The strategy has an inadvertent consequence, however: Every inch of ground the U.S. cedes, emboldened Taliban militants are likely to take and trumpet as a victory over another superpower.

The Afghan war entered its ninth year this week with President Barack Obama’s

administration pondering how to counter an insurgency growing more powerful by the day.

Obama, who won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, is considering a request from McChrystal for up to 40,000 more troops to boost the 65,000 who are already in the country. Other NATO countries have another 40,000 troops here.

Obama also is debating whether to shift the focus to more missile strikes and special operations raids against alQaida in Pakistan, a nucleararmed country where the terrorist movement’s leadership is believed to be hiding.

But the army may have been emboldened by a reasonably successful military campaign in the Swat Valley and adjoining Buner district and by the killing in a U.S. missile strike of Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud. The military also appears committed to destroying Mehsud’s group, as opposed to its often ambivalent position toward other insurgents in the past.

Islamic militants have been carrying out nearly weekly attacks in Pakistan, but the sheer scale of Friday’s bombing — which killed nine children — pushed the government to declare it would take the fight to South Waziristan, part of the lawless tribal belt where alQaida leader Osama bin Laden may be hiding.

Taliban fighters claimed Friday their flag was flying victoriously over an eastern Afghan village U.S. forces abandoned after suffering casualties in one of the war’s deadliest battles for American troops.

The withdrawal this week from mountainous Kamdesh, an isolated hamlet near the Pakistan border, was planned well before the intense Oct. 3 attack left a pair of outposts in ruins and eight American troops dead.
