Routt County’s first mailonly election is forcing elections and Postal Service officials to take a closer look at election law and oversight. On Thursday, county election officials fielded several calls from residents concerned about whether candidates are permitted to campaign on U.S. Postal Service property. Alex Turner, a Postal Service consumer affairs manager based in Denver, said federal regulations prohibit candidates for elected office from campaigning on post office property. Specifically, Section 124.54 of the Post Office Manual states: “Soliciting alms and contributions, campaigning for election to any public office, collecting private debts, commercial and nonprofit soliciting and vending
Election 2009 ■ Ballots have been mailed to all active Routt County registered voters. If you’re an active voter and your voter registration information is current, you don’t need to request a ballot. The U.S. Postal Service will not forward ballots. If you haven’t received your ballot by Wednesday, call the Routt County Elections Office at 970-870-5558. ■ Oct. 27 is the last day to request that a ballot be mailed to you. ■ If returning your ballot via mail, only normal, 44-cent postage is required. ■ There are five drop-off locations in Routt County for voters to submit their

completed ballots: Routt County Clerk and Recorder’s Office, Yampa Town Hall, Oak Creek Town Hall, Hayden Town Hall and the Clark Store. ■ All ballots must be received by 7 p.m. Nov. 3. Voters should not mail their ballots after Oct. 29. ■ Voters will receive ballots specific to where they live.

Turner also said local postmasters were responsible for overseeing the activities at their post office branches. Steamboat Springs Postmaster Tim O’Brien could not be reached for comment Thursday. Routt County Clerk and Recorder Kay Weinland said See Vote, page 14

Snow covers Storm Peak at an elevation of 10,372 feet Thursday at Steamboat Ski Area. Despite this modest coverage, one local expert estimates the snow on Buffalo Pass to be as deep as 30 inches.
El Niño a winter wild card
Pacific phenomenon a prime factor in season’s climate forecast STEAMBOAT SPRINGS
The wild card in Steamboat Springs’ long-range winter climate outlook is El Niño. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a winter forecast Thursday that rates the chances of average, below average and above average precipitation in the Inter-Mountain West through February as a toss-up. Mike Halpert, deputy director of NOAA’s Climate Pre diction Center, said the warm water phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean known as El Niño will be a driving factor in winter weather December through February in the United States. “We expect El Niño to strengthen and persist through the winter months, providing clues as to what the weather will be like during the period,” Halpert said. “Warmer ocean water in the equatorial Pacific
shifts the patterns of tropical rainfall that in turn change the strength and position of the jet stream and storms over the Pacific Ocean and the U.S.” Steamboat powderhounds know Mount Werner is prone to getting day after day of snow when the jet stream settles over the Yampa Valley on a northwest flow. One might not guess it to look at the modest snow cover on Storm Peak, but the snow depth is building just north on Buffalo Pass to as deep as 30 inches, in the estimation of one local expert. Chris Diamond, Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. president, observed during a public speaking engagement this fall that the last El Niño year resulted in more than 400 inches of snow. That year, 2005-06, weather patterns dumped 432 inches of snow at the midway point on Mount Werner. El Niño could mean rain at the bottom of the mountain in
November, Diamond said at the talk. Steamboat is on the southern edge of a large bulge in the map that calls for increased chances of warmer-than-average winter weather. Steamboat experienced backto-back mild Novembers in 2007 and 2008, only to see record and near-record snowfalls as both winter seasons evolved. Just the same, ski area managers will hope for overnight temperatures that dip into the teens during the next six weeks to provide optimal snowmaking conditions. An NOAA climate map released Thursday included Northwest Colorado as part of a wide swath of the country where there are equal chances for average, below and above average precipitation this winter. The same map indicates elevated chances of a drier-than-average winter in Washington state and Montana with increased chances of wetterSee El Niño, page 16

HAYDEN
Not a single community member attended Thursday night’s Hayden Town Council meeting to speak during a public hearing about a possible water rate increase. Council members also didn’t discuss the rate increase before approving the second reading of the water and sewer plant investment fees, water meter regulations and water base rate ordinance. Monthly residential rates will increase by $3.05 to $19. Monthly senior rates will increase by $1.83 to $11.40. The ordinance was approved, 5-0. Council members Bill Hayden and Jim Haskins did not attend the meeting. Town Manager Russ Martin said the increase would generate an additional $25,000 to $30,000 to help close the gap in a fund that doesn’t make enough money to cover costs. The ordinance also increased tap fees to $4,800 from $3,800 for water, and to $2,400 from
$1,900 for sewer. The ordinance will go into effect 15 days after being published. Martin said the rate and tap fee increases would help eliminate a $75,000 annual deficit in the town’s water fund. Council member Tom Rogalski said a water rate increase, for a similar purpose, brought a large crowd to a meeting three or four years ago. He said once the need for the increase was explained, a loud group quickly fell silent. He said he wasn’t surprised that no one showed up Thursday night but did admit that it was a bit odd, because some residents have been upset by past water rate increases. Martin said he hoped the lack of attendance was a reflection of the educating Hayden had done to inform residents about the rate increase and why it was necessary. He said that it’s one step the town is taking to mitigate the water fund shortfall and that he hopes it’s the only one. But Martin said he hopes Hayden residents will understand if the town has to raise
its rates again. The ordinance also required that residents fix a broken water meter 60 days after receiving written notice. The town could shut off their water if that repair wasn’t made in 120 days. In other action, the Town Council: ■ Approved the winter parking and street obstructions and encroachments ordinance. It doesn’t allow parking on streets from midnight to 7 a.m. from November to April. It also prohibits residents from shoveling snow or putting mud, dirt, debris, rubbish or filth into streets, unless allowed by law, the Town Council or town. ■ Approved Phillip Davis as the new manager of Creekview Grill and its corporation as EPIC’s Inc. The manager and corporation had to be approved before the council members could approve the restaurant’s new liquor license.

COMMENTARY
Do you have something to say about a story we’ve written?
Natural-born losers Ann Coulter
Jimmy Carter presided over “regime change” in Iran in 1979. Both countries— and others — gave succor to terrorists The question of whether President who had attacked the United States Barack Obama should send more troops repeatedly, and would do so again. to Afghanistan misses the point. As liberals endlessly reminded us durWhat Obama really needs to do is: ing the three weeks of war in Afghanistan Invent a time machine, go back to the before the U.S. military swept into Kabul, 2008 presidential campaign Afghanistan has all the makings of a and not say, over and military disaster. It is mountainous, caveover and over again, that pocked and tribal, and has no resources Afghanistan was a “war of worth fighting for and a populace that necessity” while the war in makes Khalid Sheikh Mohammed look Iraq was a “war of choice.” like Alistair Cooke.

It’s always something with the The most important part of warfare Muslims. You either have mostly sane is picking your battlefield, and President people governed by a crazy dictator — George W. Bush picked Iraq for a reason. Iraq, Iran and Syria (also California and Neither Iraq nor Afghanistan attacked Michigan) — or a crazy people governed by relatively sane leaders — Pakistan and us on 9/11 — or the dozen other times Afghanistan, post-U.S. invasion (also American embassies, barracks and buildVermont and Minnesota). ings came under jihadist onslaught since UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE
Not only could regime change in Iraq work, but Iraq’s countryside was susceptible to America’s overwhelming air power. Also, Iraq has fabulous natural resources. Once the United States got control of Iraq’s oil fields, the Shia, Sunni and Kurds could decide to either prosper together or starve together. (And it’s not just oil: They’re basically sitting on top of most of the world’s proven reserves of cab drivers.) By contrast, there aren’t a lot of sticks that can be used in a wasteland like Afghanistan, where the people live in caves and scratch out a living in the dirt. The only “carrot” we might be able to offer them would be actual carrots. But Democrats couldn’t care less about military strategy — at least any “strategy” that doesn’t involve allowing soldiers to date one another. To the extent you can get liberals to focus on national security at all, you will find they are rooting against their own country. Liberals sneered at See Coulter, page 9
Daisy chain of Cheneys Maureen Dowd
THE NEW YORK TIMES
WASHINGTON
I imagine that if you called the new consulting firm of Cheney, Cheney & Cheney and got put on hold, you’d hear the “Ghostbusters” theme: “If there’s someone weak, if you’ve sprung a leak, if the world looks bleak, if you hide and seek, who ya gonna call? OBAMABUSTERS!” It’s hard to believe that the Bush dynasty, which limped away in disgrace after smashing our econDowd omy and the globe, has spawned another political dynasty. But Jason Horowitz reported in The Washington Post that Mary Cheney, the younger daughter of the former vice presi-
MALLARD FILLMORE
dent, is starting a consulting firm modeled on Kissinger Associates. Since it involves the Cheneys, it’s shrouded in unnecessary secrecy. But Mary’s friends say her plan is to make it Cheney cubed, bringing in her dad and big sister, Liz, when those two finish cleaning out the Augean stables of Dick Cheney’s legacy for his memoir. Horowitz wrote that Mary, who is expecting her second child with her partner, Heather Poe, next month, may be hanging the shingle for the “gruff clan who speak in dour unison when bashing the current president, second-guessing the previous commander in chief and chiding wayward GOP leaders.” The influence-peddling firm will be wildly successful, no doubt, because if anyone has shown a golden touch, it’s Dick Cheney. And there are bound to be oodles of clients who want coaching on how to make things look totally the opposite of what they are.
Saudis, right-wing dictators and Bernie Madoff calling for image makeovers? Rush Limbaugh calling to strategize about how to buy an NFL team with black players as he says offensive things about blacks? Regarding bipartisanship with the same contempt as multilateralism and multiculturalism, the Cheneys have led the charge against Obama, painting him as a wishy-washy loser who’s turning America to mush. On Fox News on Sunday, Liz Cheney — who still talks about having “liberated” Iraq — called Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize a “farce” and suggested that he “send the mother of a fallen American soldier to accept the prize on behalf of the U.S. military.” The blond, 43-year-old lawyer, a mother of five hailed by her fans as “a red state rock star,” teamed up this week with Bill Kristol to start a new group See Dowd, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

Bush removed the Taliban from power, captured or killed the lunatics and, for the next seven years, about the only news we heard out of Afghanistan were occasional announcements of parliamentary elections, new schools, water and electricity plants. The difficult choice Obama faces in Afghanistan is entirely of his own making, not his generals’ and certainly not Bush’s. It was Obama’s meaningless blather about Afghanistan being a “war of necessity” during the campaign that has moved the central front in the war on terrorism from Iraq — a good battleground for the United States — to Afghanistan — a lousy battlefront for the United States. A Democrat is president and, once again, America finds itself in an “unwinnable war.” I know Democrats will never learn, but I wish the voters would.
Terrifying chance of seeing Palin-Cheney ticket Dowd continued from 8 called “Keep America Safe.” Kristol, of course, was the chief proponent of the wacky notion that Dan Quayle, and later Sarah Palin, could Keep America Safe, which somewhat undermines the urgency and gravity of the group’s moniker. And Liz’s dear old dad was the one who made America less safe by straining our military to the breaking point while carrying out his knuckleheaded theory of pre-emptive war. Still, Liz hopes her new enterprise will energize opponents of President Barack Obama’s “radical” foreign policy, as she has tried to do so volubly on cable shows, and raise money by presenting the president as a callow, wobbly, golf-playing appeaser whose foreign policy will “make us weaker.” The Web site features a daily
Willie Hortonish detainee feature, profiling one of the scary swarthy prisoners at Gitmo. And it also will have all kinds of fun reading, like memos by Bush lawyers on enhanced interrogation. (Or, as it’s more commonly known outside the gargoyled gates of Cheneyville, torture.) The “Keep America Safe” mission statement says that “the current administration too often seems uncertain, wishful, irresolute, and unwilling to stand up for America, our allies and our interests.” It’s evocative of an earlier effort by conservatives to prod a Democratic president to man-up, hectoring him about his “inadequate” foreign policy and his course of “weakness and drift.” That was a 1998 letter to President Bill Clinton from the Project for the New American Century, with signers such as
Kristol, Paul Wolfowitz, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle and John Bolton, urging a strategy that “should aim, above all, at the removal of Saddam Hussein’s regime from power.” (Dick Cheney and Scooter Libby signed the project’s statement of principles.) Kristol joked to Politico’s Ben Smith that the venture might serve as a launching pad for Liz to run for office. (A Senate bid from Virginia, where she lives, or Wyoming, which she still calls home?) That raises the terrifying specter that some day we could see a Palin-Cheney ticket. Sarah would bring her content-free crackle and gut instincts; Liz would bring facts and figures distorted by ideology. Pretty soon, we’re pre-emptively invading Iran and the good times are rolling all over again.

Bush’s description of Iraq as the “central front of the war on terror” and a step toward the “democratization of the Middle East” — as Mark Danner did in the Sept. 11, 2005, New York Times — because sneering was all they could do. By design, Iraq was the central front in the war on terrorism. Any fanatic who hated the Great Satan, owned an overnight bag and was not already working for The New York Times was lured across the border into Iraq ... to be met by the awesome force of the U.S. military. Bush chose the battlefield that made the best flytrap for Islamic crazies and also that was most amenable to regime change. Now, nearly all denizens of the Middle East want the United States to invade them, so they can live in democracy, too. As
Thomas Friedman inadvertently admitted, Lebanese voters credit their recent free election, in which the voters threw out Hezbollah, to President Bush. (American liberals, naturally, gave the credit to Obama, who they also think is responsible for the sun rising every morning.) Brave Iranian students who protested the tyrant Ahmadinejad did so because of Iraq — and then they stopped because of Obama’s indifference. Sadly for them, America’s foreign policy now will be based on a calculus of political correctness, not national security. Afghanistan is a brutal battlefield, largely invulnerable to modern warfare — something the British and Russians learned. But as our military under Bush showed the world in 21 days, scimitar-wielding savages are no match for the voluntary civilian troops of a free people.

Auction to benefit Craig family Funds to aid Moffat County graduate with Burkitt’s lymphoma Nicole Inglis
CRAIG DAILY PRESS
CRAIG
Becky Otis was moved when she heard the good news. Cory Pike’s mother and Otis’ close friend, J.J. Pike, called her Wednesday to tell her a recent bone marrow test showed no cancer in Cory’s tissue. Cory received a stem cell transplant Sept. 12 and has undergone chemotherapy and radiation therapy to treat his Burkitt’s lymphoma. While it’s nowhere near the end of the road for the 2007 Moffat County High School graduate — the cancer could return at any time — the test results were encouraging news to the family after Cory quickly fell ill and was diagnosed in June. “I was so excited I cried,” Otis said. “Yesterday was glorious. (The Pikes) are just so happy.” Otis organized an auction that will take place at 1 p.m. Saturday at the OP Bar & Grill, 534 E. Victory Way, to benefit the Pike family during their time of need. Local businesses helped by donating everything from a flat
screen TV to a live pig to be auctioned off. “We have everything,” Otis said. “There is a gold necklace, a rifle and even some loads of gravel. One guy donated two antique watches because it was all he had, but he wanted to help.” There will be a raffle during the event as well as free chili and corn dogs. Otis said the proceeds will help Cory and his family pay for the unexpected expenses that appeared when Cory was diagnosed. “They have a lot of financial needs that aren’t covered by insurance,” she said. “This is for Cory and his parents — to help them.” She said Cory’s father, Dave Pike, Craig Parks and Recreation director, drives to Denver weekly, switching places with his wife to be with Cory during his treatments. Aside from the gas expenses, the family has to rent an apartment in Denver so they can be close to the hospital at all times. But, Otis hopes some of the funds can be used to get Cory back on his feet once he fights

off the cancer. “Cory was going into his junior year of college,” Otis said. “When he gets better — because I know he’ll get better — I want him to have the money to continue on with school.” But, she said, he still has a long way to go despite the recent test results. “He’s still very sick,” she said. “But he’s fighting. Even though the tests came back clean, that’s not to say in 30 days the cancer won’t come back.” Still, she and the rest of the friends remain optimistic, and they hope the auction Saturday will help the Pikes financially and emotionally. “I think that it’s a small town, and everyone cares about each other,” she said. “The Pike boys went to school here their whole lives, and everybody knows them. Everyone just wants to help.”

Kennedy says experience is advantage
The ‘bug’ In 1997, Kennedy said, some locals encouraged him to apply
Educator or parent Perhaps the biggest differ ence between Kennedy and Kelly is what makes each candidate qualified for the School Board. Although Kelly has been actively involved in education issues for years, Kennedy boasts a long educa tion career. Kennedy said some people think it’s beneficial for parents to serve on school boards, and oth ers think the posts are important for former administrators. “I bring both,” Kennedy said. “Just because I was an admin istrator didn’t mean I stopped being a parent.” During his 18 years as a high school principal, Kennedy said, all four of his children were in his building. He said he made few decisions without consid
ering his roles as parent and administrator. Kennedy hired Kathryn Knapp, the coordinator for cur riculum instruction and technol ogy at the Vestal Central School District in Vestal, N.Y., as middle school principal when he was superintendent of the Norwich City School District. Knapp said that as a superin tendent, Kennedy always made decisions in the best interests of the children. She said he gave administrators and teachers the guidance and tools to do their jobs and didn’t meddle in the day-to-day operation of the schools. “I was saddened to see him leave because he was so good at what he did,” Knapp said. “He is so passionate about education, the kids and his role in that. I would see how he would not have lost that. It was part of his core. … He’d want to be involved in the school district because he lived and breathed it.” Kennedy has said he doesn’t have an agenda in running for the School Board, but he acknowl edged that his expertise could come in handy in confronting several issues facing the School Board. One of those, he said, was funding, considering the eco nomic situation the state is facing. He said it’s important that school boards debate and get perspectives not only from mem bers of the community, but also teachers. Kennedy said there are a lot of ways for school districts to save money, such as by tap ping into the resources available in the community. But ultimately, he said, deci sions should be made in the interest of students. “Kids, after all, are our greatest resource,” Kennedy said. “The money spent there is absolutely critical to our future. That’s how important I think it is.”

time spent as a physical edu cation teacher, track and field, basketball coach (which included a state championship two years after a winless sea son), high school principal and superintendent. He also spent time on the New York state curriculum committee. Kennedy interacted with boards of education during his two stints as superintendent of two New York school districts — the six years that concluded his career. He said he’s aware of the politics and how a school board functions but knows how to compromise to get things done. Kennedy said that experience has prepared him for a seat on the School Board. “There probably aren’t too many things that would happen that I haven’t had experience with,” he said. “I think experi ence is life’s greatest teacher. You learn from mistakes as well as successes. … I think that’s a distinct advantage for me.” Kennedy moved to Steam boat in 2005 shortly after his retirement. He was familiar with Steamboat, having visited for the previous 15 years to see his son, Craig, and ski. Craig is the president of CK Consulting and co-founder of Access Anything, an organization that promotes adaptive sports and adventure travel for people with disabili ties. Kennedy also has three adult daughters, Erin, who lives in California; and Allison and Laura, who live in Washington, D.C. Shortly after moving to town, Kennedy met and married former longtime Soda Creek Elementary School teacher Barb Keenan.
for the district’s interim superin tendent position after the School Board bought out the remaining two years of Donna Howell’s contract. Resident Mike Forney, a fel low member of the Rotary Club of Steamboat Springs, said he urged Kennedy to apply for the job. “It was clear Bill had a lot of experience,” Forney said. “Through his wife, Barbara, he got to know the issues, and he has a really down-to-earth approach to education. I thought he’d be an excellent superintendent.” Sandra Smyser was given the position, but Kennedy said he’s never lost the “bug” for educa tion. When it became an option to run for the District 1 seat, Kennedy seized an opportunity to get involved. Kennedy acknowledges that he hasn’t been in Steamboat as long as Kelly, but that doesn’t bother him. He said he wants to give back to the community that has given so much to his family through the years.

Officials to continue discussions Tuesday District continued from 11 and the board will then consider whatever reassessments BOCES decides. “I can tell you this is complicated on a level beyond almost anything else I’ve encountered in my life,” School Board President Tim Corrigan said. Mader said that during a conference of superintendents in Walden on Wednesday, the group agreed with a BOCES proposal to use federal stimulus money to partially cover the deficit, but he said no resolution was reached.
forward, we may take some of those services back into our district,” Mader said. BOCES, based in the same building that houses the Steamboat Springs School District offices on Seventh Street, provides its seven member districts with special education and other services. The Yampa Valley School, an alternative school also based on Seventh Street, is run by BOCES for the three Routt County school districts.
Superintendents and BOCES representatives will meet again Tuesday to continue discussions. At the Oct. 12 meeting in Granby, BOCES Executive Director Jane Toothaker said BOCES might be able to use $273,000 in federal stimulus funds to help cover the budget. “So there’s still some hope that we may not end up needing to backfill BOCES’ budget,” Corrigan said. “The news is substantially better than what you were reporting to us a few weeks ago.” “On the other hand, moving

The National Weather Service was calling for a 30 percent chance of rain showers in Steamboat from Wednesday night into Thursday, and the city received one of its wettest storms since spring. Steamboat weather observer Art Judson said the city received as much as six-tenths of an inch of rain overnight. He measured

Assuming that it snowed above 10,000 feet on Buffalo Pass while it rained in the valley, and also assuming average moisture density of snow per inch, Judson surmised that another 9 inches of snow had fallen at his high-elevation weather station.

Pastine got a taste for the kind of music The Informants play — a blend of rockabilly, dance blues and sauced-up swing — from her father, a big-band guitarist who got his musical footing in the 1930s and ’40s. “I just got it. I liked anything that was big band, anything that was swing, jump blues, that whole juke joint boogie sound — I just loved it,” Pastine said. It wasn’t long after Informants bassist Mac McMurray saw Pastine singing with a Denver rockabilly band for the first time that he established The Informants. “Mac would stop by and check us out, and I think he just decided, ‘If they ever break up, I’m going to get that See Informants, page 21

When the members of Denver jump blues band The Informants decided to put together a set of originals and covers inspired by their favorite music from the 1940s, ’50s, ’60s and ’70s, they didn’t intend to “create a ‘show,’” lead singer Kerry Pastine said. But put a seven-piece band that happens to like raunchy blues and raunchier jokes on the same stage, and a show is going to happen. “We just have this really fun show that comes out of it, so there’s a lot of animation and a lot of choreography and a lot of impromptu naughtiness that comes through the microphone, and it really reminds me of some of those ’40s- and ’50s-style shows they used to do,” Pastine said in a phone interview Thursday.

‘Where the Wild Things Are’ Children’s Fantasy, PG, 110 minutes
Maurice Sendak’s muchloved 1963 children’s book becomes a big-budget fantasy, with particularly good realizations of his Wild Things, creatures on an island visited in the imagination of a small boy (Max Records). But the plot is simple stuff, spread fairly thin by director Spike Jonze and writer Dave Eggers. Rating: ★★★
‘The Invention of Lying’ Comedy, PG-13, 99 minutes
In its amiable, quiet way, this is a remarkably radical comedy about a world where everyone always tells the truth. When Ricky Gervais discovers he can lie, this gives him incredible power. Jennifer Garner plays the great beauty who informs him truthfully that he’s short and fat and not an ideal genetic match. He agrees. Then he discovers by accident a suggestion that inspires joy and gratitude from the entire world. Its implications are radical, but the movie is so well-mannered and laid-back that it gets away with it. Rating: ★★★★
‘Couples Retreat’ Comedy, PG-13, 107 minutes
Four troubled couples make a week’s retreat to an island paradise where they hope to be healed, which indeed happens, according to age-old sitcom formulas. The jolly ending is agonizing in its step-by-step obligatory plotting. Starring Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman, Faizon Love, Jon Favreau, Malin Akerman, Kristen Bell, Kristin Davis and Kali Hawk. Rating: ★★
‘Zombieland’ Comedy horror, R, 81 minutes
Unexpectedly funny. Jesse Eisenberg, named after his hometown of Columbus, Ohio, is making his way back home across a zombie-infested America. He encounters another non-zombie survivor, Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson). The two team up, not without many disagreements, and eventually find two healthy women: the sexy Wichita (Emma Stone) and her little sister, Little Rock (Abigail Breslin). It comes down to a road movie threatened by the undead, as countless zombies are shot, mashed, sledgehammered and otherwise inconvenienced, not without wit. Rating: ★★★
‘The Informant!’ Comedy/thriller, R, 108 minutes
Matt Damon stars as the highest-ranking executive in U.S. history to blow the whistle in a case of corporate fraud. He exposed global price-fixing by Archer Daniels Midland, the Decatur, Ill., agribusiness conglomerate, after wearing an FBI wire for 30 months. Along the way, incidentally, he was embezzling $9 million for his own use, a detail he neglected to share with the FBI. Steven Soderbergh’s top-flight thriller, based on facts and shot on the original central Illinois locations, subtly becomes a human comedy. Rating: ★★★★
‘Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs’ Animated comedy, PG, 90 minutes
A 3-D animated comedy about a kid who invents a machine that will turn water into food. It goes wild, floods his island with food, and attacks it with a spaghetti and meatballs tornado. Haven’t seen that before. Rating: ★★★
‘9’ Animation, PG-13, 79 minutes
A humanoid little rag doll comes to life and ventures fearfully into the devastation of a bombed-out cityscape. This figure, named 9, meets his similar predecessors, No. 1 through No. 8, and they find themselves in battle against a Transformer-like red-eyed monster called the Beast. This provides a pretext for an apocalyptic battle that is visually more interesting than, but as relentless as, similar all-actionall-the-time movies. This is a disappointment. By Shane Acker, Oscar-nominated for his 2006 short that inspired it. Rating: ★★★
TONIGHT!
LAST WORRIED MEN SHOW OF THE YEAR!! ½ price appetizers • $4 SHOTS 9-11pm
‘Inglourious Basterds’ War drama, R, 152 minutes
A big, bold, audacious war movie that will annoy some, startle others and demonstrate once again that Quentin Tarantino is the real thing, a director of quixotic delights. Brad Pitt, Melanie Laurent and Christoph Waltz star as a hero, a girl and a Nazi in a virtuoso combination of action, droll satire, movie references, rewritten history and delight in filmmaking itself. Leave it to Tarantino to provide World War II with a much-needed alternative ending. For once, the bastards get what’s coming to them. Rating: ★★★★ — Roger Ebert See Film, page 23

About three years ago, the CBS Evening News did a segment about John Shors. The Boulder-based novelist had, in paperback editions of his first book, “Beneath a Marble Sky,” made an offer to his readers. Including his personal e-mail address, Shors wrote a note at the back of those John Shors editions inviting any book club with 10 or more members to set up a time to talk with the author about “Beneath a Marble Sky” on speakerphone. The day after the segment went on air, Shors was a much more popular man. “One night, the CBS Evening News did a feature on the book club program, and the next day I had something like 800 e-mails,” Shors said in a phone interview Thursday. He’s spoken to about 2,000 book clubs in the past three years and thinks the involvement has built a local readership, he said. The novelist will read part of his third and most recent book, “Dragon House,” at 4 p.m. Saturday at Bud Werner Memorial Library. He’ll talk about the novel’s subject and the writing process, answer questions and sign copies, he said. Epilogue Book Co. and the library are sponsoring the event. “Dragon House” tells the story of two Americans who travel to Vietnam to establish a center for homeless children. The book’s setting is based on Shors’ own extensive travels through Vietnam and Asia, often includ-

ing periods in the area’s largest cities. “During these experiences, I’ve spoken at length with homeless children, and I was so inspired by these children and their tenacity and entrepreneurship and optimism that I wanted to create a novel based upon my experiences with these children,” he said. Part of the sales proceeds from “Dragon House” will go to the Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation — the organization has goals for education and support of homeless children in Vietnam similar to the ones expressed by the main characters in “Dragon House,” Shors said. Shors traveled in Asia in the early 1990s, finding inspiration for his work as a novelist and satisfying a historical interest. “I was fascinated with Vietnam initially because of the connection with American history,” he said. “And obviously there is a real American legacy in Vietnam. It’s not necessarily a good legacy, but it’s there, and as an American I was really interested in traveling to Vietnam and experiencing that.” After spending several years as a reporter for the Des Moines Business Record, Shors moved to Boulder in 1999 to help

girl, I’m going to get her in a band,’” Pastine said. McMurray credits his parents for a rich musical background full of jazz and blues, he said in a phone interview before The Informants’ show last spring at Ghost Ranch Saloon. “A big percentage of it is, all of our parents were very much into music,” McMurray said in May. “I thank my mom and dad for having the LPs playing in the house all the time when I was a kid. My dad was a big jazz fan, and my mom played classical around the house. … I think that you kind of go back to what you knew as a kid and what you loved and may not have appreciated as fully at that point. We were exposed as a group to so many sounds early on.” The Informants are Pastine on lead vocals, McMurray on bass, Mark Richardson on piano, Nate Nicholson on drums, Kenny Plum and Jonny Love on horns, and Paul Shellooe on guitar. Richardson also writes all the band’s original music and has 10 songs ready for a third album, Pastine said.

Letterman ‘threatened’ by blackmail NORWALK, CONN.
David Letterman felt “threatened, alarmed and concerned” about the impact to his family life and career after a newsman tried to blackmail him by disclosing his sexual affairs, according to court documents released Thursday. CBS News producer Robert J. “Joe” Halderman told Letterman in a package of materials he sent that he had “a lot more” documents to back up his threat and needed to “make a large chunk of money,” according to search warrant affidavits. The additional evidence, Halderman said, included letters, e-mails and photos, authorities said. Halderman pleaded not guilty to trying to extort $2 million from Letterman to keep some of the come-
dian’s sexual affairs quiet. A message left Thursday with Halderman’s attorney was not immediately returned. According to the court documents, the package Halderman sent included a demand letter, a treatment for a screenplay, photos, personal correspondence and portions of a diary. Letterman “feels threatened, alarmed and concerned about the impact of the disclosure of his personal information on his family life and career,” the court records state. Letterman is not named specifically in the court documents, but they refer to “Client No. 1” as a public figure who faced the threat of “a ruined reputation” and damage to his career and family life. The documents referred to Letterman’s “great professional success” and said Letterman’s “world is about to collapse around him,”
authorities said. Authorities also seized computer equipment, a camera memory card, banking information, photos, a magazine featuring Letterman and other items from Halderman’s home. Halderman, 51, a producer for CBS’ “48 Hours Mystery,” allegedly used diary entries by his former girlfriend — outlining her affair with Letterman — to extort money from the talk show star Letterman divulged details of the alleged extortion caper during his show, including the admission that he had had affairs with women who worked for him on “Late Show.” Halderman left an envelope in Letterman’s car early Sept. 9, authorities said. Letterman acknowledged that the letter contained proof that he had sexual relationships with members of his staff.
What’s playing Film continued from 19
‘Law Abiding Citizen’ Thriller, R, 107 minutes
“Law Abiding Citizen” is a glib, brutal and preposterous revenge fantasy, a take-thelaw-in-your-own-hands rabble rouser that taps into a lot of fears and genuine gripes about the American legal system. Gerard Butler has the title role, Clyde Shelton, a “tinkerer” who is stabbed during a home invasion. Jamie Foxx is the polit-
ically ambitious Philadelphia prosecutor (Nick Rice) who lets one of the killers get off easy so the other will be executed. The film is a “Who dies next?” slasher film masquerading as a revenge thriller. Rating: ★★
original. But in filtering that gritty, edgy drama about the true costs of pursuing a life in the performing arts through a Disney-fied “HSM” lens, MGM has rubbed the edges off and scrubbed away all the grit. This “Fame” is a film without the guts to show Idolized America that, as Debbie Allen so memorably said way back when, “Fame costs, and right here’s where you start paying.” Rating: ★★ — Roger Moore, MCT
‘Fame’ Musical, PG, 104 minutes
“Fame,” the original “high school musical,” earns a sometimes toe-tapping remake that borrows scenes, situations and character “types” from its 1980

State wildlife officials are offering a reward leading to the prosecution of the person or people who illegally shot and killed a mule deer buck on Aspen Mountain in recent days. The animal was found on the ski area by Aspen Skiing Co. personnel, who notified the Colorado Division of Wildlife, said Kevin Wright, the division’s district wildlife manager for the Aspen area. “We don’t know for sure when it was shot. I think it’s fairly recent — probably last weekend,” Wright said Wednesday.

The antlers were removed from the mature buck, but they have been recovered by the DOW, Wright said. He declined to offer additional information, as the incident is under investigation. The meat from the animal was not taken. “They just shot it and left it,” Wright said. Anyone who provides information that leads to the prosecution of the individual or individuals responsible for killing the buck is eligible for a cash reward of as much as $500 from Operation Game Thief, Wright said. A report can be made anonymously by calling Operation
Game Thief at 1-877-265-6648 or, from a Verizon cell phone, by calling #OGT. The person responsible for the shooting could face a slew of charges and penalties, as the deer was shot out of season and was simply left, Wright said. The elk rifle season began last weekend in Colorado, but the combined deer/elk rifle season does not start until this weekend. Willful destruction of wildlife is a class 5 felony that carries potential penalties of a $1,000 to $10,000 fine and/or six months to six years imprisonment, plus the suspension of one’s hunting and fishing privileges for one year to life, according to Wright.
Frisco’s budget ‘flat’ but includes upgrades Alex Miller
Now offering Seamless Gutters at a Great Price!
It’s not easy to budget on the tail end of a recession, but town of Frisco officials think “flat” is the way to go as they prepare for the coming year. In general, the town is planning for 2010 revenues about the same as what’s anticipated for 2009 — or about 13.5 percent less than 2008. And even that’s down from banner year 2007, town manager Michael Penny said. “It’s a conservative budget, not a lot of bells and whistles,” Penny said. Even so, he said town council is still planning about $5.2 million in 2010 to build the first phase of planned improvements at the Peninsula Recreation Area. Those will include basic infrastructure work next summer — such as parking, water, sewer and electric — as well as installation of a new lodge building, tubing

6-year-old was feared to be floating in homemade balloon
It’s ok to talk about sex and pregnancy,
Fort Collins boy found safe P. Solomon Banda and Ivan Moreno THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT COLLINS
A 6-year-old boy was found hiding in a cardboard box in his family’s garage attic Thursday after being feared to be aboard a homemade helium balloon that hurtled 50 miles through the sky on live television. Sheriff Jim Alderden turned to reporters during a news conference and gave a thumbs up and said, “He’s at the house.” “Apparently he’s been there the whole time,” Alderden said. Investigators had searched the house twice and interviewed one of Falcon Heene’s older brothers several times, he said. He said the brother who reported the boy floated off in the balloon was “very adamant,” and the parents “were besides themselves with worry.” The discovery marked a bizarre end to a saga that started when the giant silvery balloon floated away from the family’s yard Thursday morning, sparking a frantic rescue operation that involved military helicopters and briefly shut down Denver International Airport. The flying saucer-like craft tipped precariously at times before gliding to the ground in a field, the culmination of a twohour, 50-mile journey through two counties. With the child nowhere in sight, investigators searched the balloon’s path. Several people reported seeing something fall from the craft while it was in the

Officials: Sex offender freed Republicans call for suspension of early-release program Steven K. Paulson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER
Colorado authorities said they inadvertently released a sex offender from prison under a moneysaving early release initiative, prompting Republican lawmakers on Thursday to urge the state’s Democratic governor to suspend the program. Gov. Bill Ritter, a former Denver district attorney, has said that no sex offenders, kidnappers or killers would be released under the program, which officials hope will save $19 million as the state deals with a $318 million budget shortfall this year. But the first round of prisoners released Sept. 22 to 23 included a man convicted in a child sex-assault case. The parole board said it was unaware of the

both of whom hope to challenge Ritter next year as the GOP’s gubernatorial nominee — said the program needs to be shut down. The odds are high that one or more of the first 10 prisoners released will reoffend, said McInnis, a former police officer. That would wipe out any savings, forcing taxpayers to prosecute them again and send them back to jail, he said. “This policy is madness and it should be stopped immediately,” Penry said. Ritter spokesman Evan Dreyer said the governor has no plans to suspend the program. He said the fact that fewer inmates than expected are qualifying for release shows that officials are being careful. “It’s a good program,” Dreyer said. “It’s good policy.”
Frazier running for US Congress Aurora City Council member drops bid for seat in US Senate THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AROUND COLORADO DENVER
Republican Ryan Frazier says he will drop his U.S. Senate bid and instead run for the 7th Congressional District seat held by Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter. The Aurora City Council member made the announcement at a news conference Thursday in Adams County. Frazier says he wants a government that is limited and fiscally responsible and that the Democrat-controlled Congress has tread a “dangerous course.” Frazier was one of at least six Republicans looking to challenge Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet next year but he trailed in fundraising. Perlmutter is serving his second term after being elected in 2006 to represent the 7th District in Denver’s western suburbs.
Bennet leads Senate Dems in health care speeches WASHINGTON
Sen. Michael Bennet says he’s “enormously optimistic” Congress will approve a health care reform bill this year in part because the status quo cannot continue. The Colorado Democrat led a group of freshmen in a series of floor speeches Thursday as the Senate gears up for a debate later this month. The senators addressed what they called “myths” created by opponents of the Democratic health care plan. They said the failure to enact reforms is the main factor driving rising federal deficits, that the U.S. health system isn’t the best in the world for every American, and people want more health plans choices, including a public plan.

conviction before the release. The mistake shows that the program isn’t working, House Minority Leader Mike May said Thursday. Ritter should find other ways to save money that wouldn’t put the public at risk, May said. Of the 10 offenders released, seven have been convicted of violent crimes, including three convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence or assault and four convicted of felony violent crimes from robbery to vehicular assault, The Denver Post reported.

At least one inmate has agreed to plead guilty to assault after a deadly race riot at a federal prison in Colorado 18 months ago. Documents filed in federal court this week say inmate Jody Stamp will plead guilty to assault and aiding and abetting assault for beating another prisoner after the April 20, 2008, riot at the prison in Florence. Prosecutors will recommend a two-year sentence. Stamp agreed to pay nearly $8,700 restitution for the cost of the victim’s medical care.
Officials: Swine flu vaccine slow getting to Colorado DENVER
Colorado health officials say the 50,000 doses of swine flu the state received this week is below the 183,300 doses expected. They advised local health departments and hospitals to continue providing available vaccine to high-risk groups including health care workers with direct contact with patients, preschool children ages 6 months to 4 years, school-age students ages 5 to 18 with chronic health conditions, pregnant women, and parents or caretakers of babies younger than 6 months. The state’s chief medical officer, Ned Calonge, said federal health officials maintain that Colorado will receive vaccine for residents who need them.

The big banks are showing they can still make money, even as Main Street struggles — though not from lending, refinancing homes or other breadand-butter business. Instead, they’re doing what Wall Street does best — betting big on stocks, bonds, commodities and other assets. Citigroup, the shakiest of the major banks during the financial crisis, reported Thursday it eked out a quarterly profit from trading, despite suffering more losses on consumer loans. Trading also drove big profits at Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase. That some banks are making money now is a sign of remarkable recovery from the crisis a year ago. But the lopsided business model raises questions about what happens if trading profits

adjustments are pegged to inflation, which is negative this year because of lower energy costs. The White House said the stimulus payments would cost $13 billion, though a congressional estimate put the cost at $14 billion. Obama didn’t say how the payments should be financed, leaving that up to Congress. The president is open to borrowing the money, increasing the deficit.
Government analysts have been forecasting for months that there would be no increase next year in monthly Social Security payments because of falling consumer prices. In anticipation of Thursday’s announcement, Obama said Wednesday that he supported $250 payments to about 57 million senior citizens, veterans, retired railroad workers and people with disabilities.
fall off and banks are left to rely on more traditional operations. After all, the economy is still struggling to recover, unemployment is approaching 10 percent and Americans are saving money and trying to pay down debt, not taking on more. “The good news is that banks are in better shape. The bad news is that they’re not making loans to consumers and businesses,” market analyst Edward Yardeni said. “That could come back to bite them because these trading gains will only last so long.” Mindful of the problems banks still face, investors reacted cautiously a day after the Dow Jones industrials powered back above 10,000 for the first time in a year. Stocks zigzagged for most of Thursday before ending modestly higher. For now, trading is pretty much the only way banks can make money. And it’s more lucrative because there are fewer
competitors, interest rates are near zero and government subsidies have allowed banks to borrow cheaply and invest in assets that offer the highest returns. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. has benefited more than most. Famed for its trading prowess, the New York investment bank said Thursday that third-quarter earnings swelled to $3.03 billion, more than triple what it made a year ago. As in past quarters, Goldman leaned heavily on its trading operation — buying and selling stocks, bonds, foreign currencies and commodities like oil and gold — to make money. Goldman’s strong showing came a day after JPMorgan Chase & Co. reported its own big profits — $3.59 billion for the quarter. That was even more impressive because, unlike Goldman, JPMorgan has suffered heavy losses on consumer loans.

Social Security recipients won’t get a cost-of-living increase next year for the first time in more than a third of a century, and that could boost President Barack Obama’s plan to send seniors another round of $250 payments before the congressional elections. Democratic leaders in Congress have signed onto the plan, greatly improving its chances, even as some budget hawks say the payments are unwarranted and could add to the federal budget deficit. Republican leaders said they, too, favor the payments but don’t want to increase the deficit to pay for them. More than 50 million Social Security recipients will see no increase in their monthly payments next year, the government announced Thursday, the first year without an increase since automatic adjustments were adopted in 1975.

New jobless claims dropped to the lowest level since January and the prices of many household goods stayed low last month, positive signs of stability for the fledgling economic recovery. The decline in jobless claims shows companies are cutting fewer workers, though the drop isn’t yet steep enough to signal new hiring, economists said. And the low level of inflation is holding down prices as Americans slowly regain their appetite to shop despite rising unemployment and tight credit conditions. Thursday’s reports “all point
to an economy that is starting to grow again,” said Bernard Baumohl, chief global economist at the Economic Outlook Group. Low inflation is consistent with the early stages of an economic recovery, Baumohl said. Even as business activity picks up, unemployment is still high and factories have enough spare capacity to increase output without sending prices higher. The Labor Department reported first-time claims for jobless benefits dropped to a seasonally-adjusted 514,000 from an upwardly revised 524,000 the previous week. The fifth decline in six weeks defied economists’ forecasts of a slight gain. The four-week average, which
smooths fluctuations, fell for the sixth straight time to 531,500. That’s the lowest since January and about 125,000 below the April peak. Economists closely watch initial claims, which are considered a measure of layoffs and the willingness of companies to add jobs. The recovery is widely expected to be weak, particularly when it comes to employment. Most economists think weekly jobless claims need to fall to 425,000 or below before the nation will start adding jobs. The tally of people continuing to claim benefits dropped by 75,000 to 5.99 million, its first time below 6 million since the week of March 28.

The number of households caught up in the foreclosure crisis rose more than 5 percent from summer to fall as a federal effort to assist struggling borrowers was overwhelmed by a flood of defaults among people who lost their jobs. The foreclosure crisis affected nearly 938,000 properties in the July-September quarter, compared with about 890,000 in the prior three months, according to a report released Thursday by RealtyTrac Inc. That puts foreclosure-related filings on a pace to hit about 3.5 million this year, up from more than 2.3 million last year.

Unemployment is the main reason homeowners are falling into trouble. While the economy is likely out of recession, the unemployment rate — now at a 26-year high of 9.8 percent — isn’t expected to peak until the middle of next year. Mortgage companies sometimes allow unemployed homeowners to defer three to six months of payments while they are looking for a job. But there’s little else they can do. Last week, the Obama administration hailed a milestone in its mortgage relief effort, reporting that 500,000 homeowners have received help since the program was launched in March. But new defaults are still exceeding the number of borrowers getting help.
Data: Stimulus helped save, generate jobs Matt Apuzzo and Brett J. Blackledge THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Businesses reported creating or saving more than 30,000 jobs in the first months of President Barack Obama’s stimulus program, according to initial data released Thursday by a government oversight board.
Military construction led the way, and states in the South and Southwest saw the biggest boost. The new job numbers — in line with expectations for such an early accounting — offer the first hard data on effects of the $787 billion stimulus program. The figures are based on jobs linked to less than $16 billion in federal contracts and represent

just a sliver of the total stimulus package. But they also represent a milestone of sorts for an administration that promised unprecedented real-time data on whether the program was working. Until now, the White House has relied on economic models to argue that the program created jobs and eased the recession. The numbers help shift the discussion from whether the program is creating jobs to whether it is creating enough to justify its enormous price tag. The White House said the new numbers were validation that the administration was on track to hit Obama’s goal of creating or saving 3.5 million jobs by the end of next year. “The early indications are quite positive,” said White House economic adviser Jared Bernstein, who said the report “exceeds our projections.”

Obama deflects critics in New Orleans Eileen Sullivan
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Insisting he’s “just getting started,” President Barack Obama defended his administration Thursday against complaints from some residents of the hurricane-ravaged Gulf Coast that federal help in recovering from the 2005 disasters hasn’t improved much since he took office. “We’ve got a long way to go, but we’ve made progress,” Obama told a town hall at the University of New Orleans. “We’re working as hard as we can and as quickly as we can.” As a candidate, Obama criticized former President George W. Bush’s response to Katrina, when the government showed up late and unprepared and the Federal Emergency Management Agency became the object of widespread scorn. The storm killed 1,600 people in Louisiana and Mississippi — and damage has been estimated at roughly $40 billion. The damage is still starkly visible in New Orleans — in blighted neighborhoods of creaky houses, boarded-up businesses, structure after structure awaiting demolition and critical recovery work not yet started. Obama wanted to use his first visit as president to the Gulf Coast to listen to residents’ concerns about the recovery effort. And although most questions were on unrelated subjects, one man gave him an earful. “I expected as much from the Bush administration, but why are we still being nickeled and dimed in our recovery?” asked Gabriel Bordenave, 29, of New Orleans. “I wish I could write a blank check,” Obama replied, promoting Bordenave to shout back, “Why not?” Obama claimed progress since he entered the White House. He cited reconstruction projects that have moved forward after having been stalled by disagreements about whether the state or federal government would foot the bill. FEMA is working “around the clock to clear up red tape and to eliminate bureaucracy on backlogs that go back years,” he said.

Policies have reduced risk of heart attacks in non-smokers, a new study finds Lauran Neergaard THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON
A major report confirms what health officials long have thought: Bans on smoking in restaurants, bars and other gathering spots reduce the risk of heart attacks among nonsmokers. “If you have heart disease, you really need to stay away from secondhand smoke. It’s an immediate threat to your life,” declared Dr. Neal Benowitz, of the University of California, San Francisco, who co-wrote Thursday’s report from the prestigious Institute of Medicine.

stances can start constricting blood vessels and increasing blood’s propensity to clot — key heart attack factors. Yet many people don’t know they have heart disease until their first heart attack, making it important for everyone to avoid secondhand smoke, Benowitz said. “Even if you think you’re perfectly healthy, secondhand smoke could be a potential threat to you,” he said. Many of the IOM committee members initially were skeptical they’d find much benefit from the bans, said statistician Stephen Feinberg, of Carnegie Mellon University.

Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which requested the study. “Smokefree laws don’t hurt business ... but they prevent heart attacks in nonsmokers.” Among the report’s conclusions: While heavier exposure to secondhand smoke is worse, there’s no safe level. It also cited “compelling” if circumstantial evidence that even less than an hour’s exposure might be enough to push someone already at risk of a heart attack over the edge. That’s because within minutes, the smoke’s pollution-like small particles and other sub-

More than 126 million nonsmoking people in the U.S. are regularly exposed to someone else’s tobacco smoke. The surgeon general in 2006 cited “overwhelming scientific evidence” that tens of thousands die each year as a result, from heart disease, lung cancer and a list of other illnesses. Yet smoking bans have rem ained a hard sell, as lawmakers and business owners debate whether such prohibitions are worth the anger of smoking customers or employees.

It was six months ago that scientists discovered an ominous new flu virus, touching off fears of a catastrophic global outbreak that could cause people to drop dead in the streets. Doomsday, of course, never came to pass. Now that the initial scare about the swine flu has subsided, health officials warn we are not out of danger yet. “We’ve got many, many months ahead of us where we don’t know what will happen and we need to take the best steps we can to protect ourselves,” Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said last week. “Our biggest concern is that the virus could change, mutate to become more deadly.” With winter approaching, another fear is a one-two punch in which a resurgent swine flu batters young people before the vaccine is widely available, while the ordinary flu strikes the elderly. Also, emergency doctors are worried about the strain on ERs and hospitals. To date, swine flu has hospitalized hundreds of thousands of people around the world and killed at least 4,500, including at least 600 in the United States.
At least 81 U.S. children have died, including many who had no underlying health problems The CDC was the first to identify the new flu. It was on April 15 and 17 that the agency determined that nasal samples from two children in Southern California contained a swine flu virus that had never been seen before. It was found to contain bits of bird and human flu. At first, the cases represented more of a scientific puzzle than a public health threat. The two children recovered, but investigators were perplexed by how they got it, since the two kids had not been in contact with each other or with pigs. But within a week, the situation became more dramatic, when testing linked the two children and a handful of subsequent U.S. cases to hundreds of illnesses in Mexico City. Mexican authorities closed schools, museums, libraries and theaters to stop the spread of the disease as initial reports suggested it was killing as many as one in 15 of those infected — a horrifying death rate more than three times higher than the terrible flu pandemic of 1918-19. A series of bad and good news followed. First, the bad: It quickly became clear that the virus was spreading not only in Mexico and border regions of

the United States, but around the world. As health officials had long surmised, international air travel provided a rapid path to world contagion. What’s more, studies indicated the millions of seasonal flu shots administered the previous winter offered no protection against the unusual new virus. But then came some good news: ■ Although the flu vaccine was no help, the antiviral medication Tamiflu reduced the severity of illness if taken right after symptoms appeared. ■ People 55 and older, who suffer and die the most from seasonal flu each year, seemed mostly to be spared by the new virus. Scientists credited some immunity that they had perhaps picked up from exposure decades ago to a similar-enough virus or vaccine. ■ Additional investigation in Mexico suggested that many people had suffered only mild illness. Those cases were not counted in initial reports, meaning the death rate was much, much lower than originally estimated. The disease kept spreading, and eventually the World Health Organization declared it the first global flu pandemic in 40 years. But even before then, U.S. health officials had downgraded some of their prevention advice.

Assaults escalate in Pakistan Militants attack police compounds across country Islamist militants launched coordinated assaults on three police compounds in Pakistan’s second largest city Thursday, the latest in a wave of attacks by insurgents bringing the war to the country’s heartland ahead of an expected offensive against their Afghan border sanctuary. The dramatic escalation in violence appears to be an attempt by the Taliban- and al-Qaida-led insurgency to seize the initiative from the army and deliver a warning to the U.S.-backed civilian government: Attack us in South Waziristan and we will fight back in your cities. It also discredits Pakistani claims that the Taliban were on the ropes after this year’s
with nine heavily armed attackers. Gunmen in all three attacks carried dried fruit and apparently were preparing to dig in for a long siege, said Rana Sanaullah, the provincial law minister. “We are here to lay down our lives for Islam. Jihad will continue,” two attackers shouted before blowing themselves up, according to one police officer. Most of the militants detonated suicide belts after they were injured or cornered to avoid capture, witnesses said. One of the targets in Lahore was a training center for an elite police unit tasked with fighting militants. Many of the trainers there had received instruction from U.S. law enforcement officials under a little-publicized State Department program, officials said.

Honduras sinks further after coup TEGUCIGALPA, HONDURAS
A woman caring for six grandchildren can no longer afford milk. A bricklayer who used to work six days a week now is lucky to get two. A shop manager has seen his earnings evaporate. Nearly four months after the military ousted President Manuel Zelaya, Hondurans are feeling the sting of a political crisis that has eroded an already fragile economy and increased hunger in one of the Western
Hemisphere’s poorest countries. “Everything has gone up since the coup,” said 50-year-old Leticia Medina as she walked along an unpaved road in the ramshackle Honduran capital. “It was hard before, but now you can buy even less.” Honduras wasn’t in great shape economically before the June 28 coup — the global recession had cut demand for exports and slowed the remittances many families depend on. But the political chaos, with its protests, curfews, blockaded streets and international isolation, made things worse.
Tourists have stayed away from the country’s beaches, Mayan ruins and rainforests — a decline driven in part by a U.S. State Department alert recommending people avoid nonessential travel to the country. In Roatan, a world-class diving destination far from the troubles in the capital, tourism dropped 85 percent after the coup, said Mario Pi, president of the island’s Tourist Information Center. “For the hotels, it’s been a disaster,” said Pi, who predicted the resort would finish the year down 50 percent.

The United States wants Pakistan’s army to launch the operation in South Waziristan to root out militants who use the remote mountainous region as a base for attacks in Afghanistan, where the American war effort is faltering amid spiraling violence eight years after the invasion. Thursday’s assaults in Lahore added to a sense of crisis in this nuclear-armed country, now shaken by five major attacks by the Islamic extremists in the past 10 days that have killed more than 150 people — including a 22-hour siege of army headquarters during the weekend. At least 19 people were killed in the Lahore attacks, most of them security officers, along

Little-known Egyptian is key al-Qaida figure Robert H. Reid THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KABUL
He’s a heavyweight in alQaida but little known outside jihadi and intelligence circles even though he runs the terrorist movement’s operations in a key front — Afghanistan — and may be linked to a plot in New York. Mustafa al-Yazid makes no secret of his contempt for the United States, once calling it “the evil empire leading crusades against the Muslims.” “We have reached the
point where we see no difference between the state and the American people,” al-Yazid told Pakistan’s Geo TV in a June 2008 interview. “The United States is a non-Muslim state bent on the destruction of Muslims.” Al-Yazid also may have links to Afghan immigrant Najibullah Zazi, whom U.S. authorities have arrested in an alleged plot to use homemade backpack bombs, perhaps on New York City’s mass transit system. Two U.S. intelligence officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because the case remains

under investigation, said the bespectacled, Egyptian-born al-Yazid used a middleman to contact Zazi, indicating that the al-Qaida leadership took a keen interest in what U.S. officials call one of the most serious terrorism threats crafted on U.S. soil since the 9/11 attacks. Despite his relative obscurity in the West, the shadowy, 55-year-old al-Yazid, who barely stands 5-foot-5 inches tall, has been involved with Islamic extremist movements for nearly 30 years since he joined radical student groups led by fellow

Egyptian Ayman al-Zawahri, now the No. 2 figure in al-Qaida after Osama bin Laden. In the early 1980s, al-Yazid served three years in an Egyptian prison for purported links to the group responsible for the 1981 assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. After his release, al-Yazid, also known as Sheik Said and Abu Saeed al-Masri, turned up in Afghanistan, where, according to al-Qaida’s propaganda wing Al-Sabah, he became a founding member of the terrorist group. He later followed bin
Laden to Sudan and back to Afghanistan, where he served as al-Qaida’s chief financial officer, managing secret bank accounts in the Persian Gulf that were used to help finance the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in New York and Washington. After the U.S. and its allies invaded in 2001, al-Yazid went into hiding for years. He surfaced in May 2007 during a 45-minute interview posted on the Web by Al-Sabah, in which he was introduced as the “official in charge” of the terrorist movement’s operations in Afghanistan.
Protests evoke images of apartheid in South Africa Celean Jacobson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
STANDERTON, SOUTH AFRICA
Protesters barricaded a major highway with rocks and burning tires Thursday, clashing with police who fired on them with rubber bullets. Youths retaliated with slingshots and threw rocks. The protest evoked images from decades earlier, when township residents took to the streets to fight apartheid. Now the issue is the government’s failure to improve the lives of poor South Africans since democracy replaced legal racial separation. More than 150 people have been arrested this week in protests that have spread from Standerton, about 90 miles southeast of Johannesburg, to at least four other towns in eastern South Africa. On Thursday, a police vehicle was set alight by protesters near a stadium that will be used for next year’s World Cup in the provincial capital of Nelspruit, police spokeswoman Sibongile Nkosi said. And miles away in Diepsloot, a poor settlement north of Johannesburg, 19 people were injured when police fired rubber bullets at protesters. Some people think violent protests should be jettisoned in a developing democracy. Take Ellen Mgaga, an 18-year-old who should be preparing for high school final exams that start next week, but her school is closed because of protests in her town. “It’s been bad what they have been doing. How am I supposed to get an education?” Mgaga said as she stood in front of the blackened remains of the library in Sakhile township on the edge of Standerton. The protests have left residents too scared to leave their homes to go to work and nearby businesses have suffered. Government clinics have been
closed for fear of staff being targeted, forcing mothers with sick children or ailing old men to walk miles. The residents of Sakhile accuse the mayor and her council of corruption and demand they resign. Most residents have water and electricity but point to the neglected sports field, dirt roads and shacks as signs of how little development there has been. Lebogang Ganye, 23, one of the many unemployed youths who have been involved in battles with police in Sakhile, said he voted for the African National Congress in April out of loyalty to the party that ended apartheid. “They promised us jobs, opportunities, a better life. But according to us it’s a worse life,” he said. “We have to vandalize things to get them to act.” A decade and a half after the end of apartheid, many South Africans feel that they have not benefited from economic growth that has made many government and ANC officials rich. Jacob Zuma, a popular figure among the poor who won the presidency in the April vote, promised to speed up delivery of houses, clinics, schools, running water and electricity as well as create jobs. But he also has acknowledged the difficulties amid South Africa’s first recession in nearly two decades. “Without a shadow of a doubt the protests have got worse since the elections,” said Udesh Pillay, director of the Center for Service Delivery at the Human Sciences Research Council. “This will escalate and it will escalate fast.” Zuma, who paid a surprise visit in August to a town that saw earlier protests, has been responsive to concerns and is still held in high regard, but people have grown increasingly “suspicious and less enthused” about other party representatives, Pillay said.

Marshall bounces back from discontent Arnie Stapleton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ENGLEWOOD
Josh McDaniels’ tough love apparently has done the trick. Denver Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall, whose temper tantrum at training camp drew a nine-day suspension, is back to being his Pro Bowl self. In the past two weeks, Marshall, showing his head is clear and his hip is healed, has caught two big touchdown passes to help the unbeaten Broncos defeat Dallas and New England, respectively. After his 51-yard TD against the Cowboys, in which Marshall avoided a half-dozen tacklers while zigzagging to the end zone, he broke down in tears and hugged McDaniels on the sideline and then again at the post-game podium. “I don’t know when it clicked, but I’m happy it’s clicking, and I think he is, too,” McDaniels said Thursday. “And our team’s all the better for it.” On Sunday, Marshall made another outstanding play when he faked a fade into the end zone, spun at the 5-yard line and caught a pass from quarterback Kyle Orton, then twisted away from a Patriots defender and dived into the end zone with the tying touchdown in Denver’s 20-17 overtime win.

Also picking up a firstplace finish on the boys side was Brooks Birkinbine in the 50 back. “Our kids practiced all fall in our outdoor pool in sometimes rain and fall snow,” coach Sara Barry said in an e-mail. “They were ready to compete, and all the kids took time off their events. I was so proud of them and not to mention how fun it was to compete against year round swimmers. It was an amazing weekend.”
Rams can’t play in postseason Football continued from 35 With Medvesk back, Baum gartner said he hopes the Tigers offense can finally get on track this week. This season Hayden hasn’t had a ton of trouble moving the ball until the team gets it inside the red zone. From there, though, Hayden’s struggles have been amplified. “Offensively, we have to sustain those drives and be a ball control team,” Baumgartner said. The red zone “has been a focus. We’ve practiced getting in the end zone. Once we get there, we have to believe we can score.” Hayden’s defense has given up only 12 points a game this year, but it has been plagued by the big play. Although a majority of those plays have come in the passing game, Baumgartner said the defense must make Hotchkiss work for its points. “For us, I really think it’s playing our assignments,” Baumgartner said. “Defensively, we’ve been good the full year. We have to maintain that consistency on defense. If we have a chance in the fourth quarter, I’m liking our odds.”

Soroco (6-0) will bring its high-powered offense into the 7 p.m. game against a team it beat, 72-18, last season. The Patriots, however, appear to be a much different team this season. Silver State, at 3-3, has a dynamite rushing attack led by Spencer Fagen and Adam Van Eaton. Fagen has combined for more than 1,200 yards rushing and receiving, and Van Eaton has chipped in 422 yards on the ground. Soroco will again turn to its offense, led by seniors Cody Miles (1,398 yards passing, 806 yards rushing and 28 total offensive touchdowns), Gage Achtner, Alex Estes and Matt Watwood. Watwood, though, will be out with an injury. A win, and Soroco sets itself up for a monumental showdown at 7 p.m. Oct. 23 at home against Norwood. Norwood, which probably will enter the game as a top five team in 8-man, could be the only thing standing in the way of a perfect Soroco season. Because of Colorado High School Activities Association rules, the Rams aren’t postseason eligible this season.
Marshall talked about team Marshall continued from 35 Marshall wasn’t much in the mood to talk about his own resurgence this week, only the Broncos’. Asked if he finally felt like the receiver who had 100-plus receptions the past two seasons, Marshall suggested it was simply a matter of his number
being called. “Every year, you all can ask that question, if I put up good numbers last year or the year before that,” he said. “It’s just a matter of time before you get your opportunities, if you come out and you’re not making plays, it’s just not because you’re not as good. It’s just you’ve got to play your role.”

We just need to get on a little bit of a roll,” she said. “I think they are a deadly team. We set big goals for ourselves. We’ve just beaten ourselves down. It’s figuring out how to get out of that hole.” Steamboat, however, has a potential league title and a little revenge on its mind. The team hosts Battle Mountain at 11 a.m. and league-leading Eagle Valley at 4 p.m. Eagle Valley was the last — and lone league opponent — to beat Steamboat this season. The last time the two squads played, the Sailors were battling multiple illnesses and an identity crisis, trying to figure out what type of team they’d be. Hall said this time there won’t be either. “Last time we were shaky at best,” Hall said. “The kids, the look in their eye right now is pretty special. I feel really good about Saturday.”

Caroline Bohlmann, special events director for the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club, can’t tell you exactly what will be available at the annual Ski & Sport Swap, but she knows there’s bound to be more than a few good deals. “This is a great community event,” Bohlmann said. “For some people, it will be a great opportunity to clean out the closet, for others it will be a chance to save some money.” Nobody at the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club could say exactly when the Ski & Sport Swap started, but
Bohlmann said the event has been a part of Steamboat’s fall season for more than 20 years. The initial purpose of the event was to provide affordable skiing equipment for young skiers in the club. It was also a chance for growing skiers to pass their slightly used gear on to the next wave of skiers. But through time, the event has become one of the best places for the public to acquire slightly used and new gear before the snow starts falling. But these days the items available are not limited to skiing. Bohlmann said the Ski & Sport Swap is also a great place to find hockey, baseball, cycling and other sporting equipment. “There’s a little bit of every-
thing at the sale,” Bohlmann said. “It’s not just about skiing.” With 16 vendors at the sale, Bohlmann said it would also be a great place to ask questions of trained professionals and get answers about merchandise. Shoppers can pay $5 and have the first shot at this year’s sale today during the Early Bird Sale. The doors will open at 7:30 p.m., and shoppers 18 and younger will be admitted free. The sale continues from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Residents who drop off consignment items can pick them up from 3 to 4 p.m. Proceeds from the sale benefit the Winter Sports Club and its athletes. The club retains 30 percent commission on all sold consignment items.

With Moffat ahead, 5-4, in the second game, Steamboat went on an 8-0 run to take control and a 12-5 lead. From there, there wasn’t much Moffat County could do. “I told the girls this is the best team I’ve ever been on,” Steamboat setter Colleen King said. “We like to break other teams down mentally. We like to get in their heads. The momentum off this should be helpful Saturday.” Wilkinson led the Sailors with 11 kills and three blocks. King chipped in nine kills, and Lindsey Yost had two blocks. Natasha Romney paced the Bulldogs with five kills, and Melissa Camilletti had nine assists. Both teams play two games Saturday with different hopes. For Moffat County and Montgomery-Braun, the focus will be on picking up some

Playing chief rival Moffat County on Thursday in Steamboat Springs, the Sailors got a little early momentum, continued the pressure and easily cruised passed the Bulldogs in three games, winning 25-16, 25-14 and 25-13.

I don’t think they’d ever look past Moffat County.” From the get-go, the Sailors showed they were the team to beat. After the teams traded early points, Steamboat jumped up 12-8 in the first game, forcing Moffat to call a timeout. It didn’t seem to work for the Bulldogs, as the Sailors ripped off 13 of the next 21 points, keyed by six first-game kills from senior Devin Wilkinson. “I don’t think my girls showed up and played with any intensity” Thursday, Moffat coach Brianna Montgomery-Braun said. “I just felt like even in warm-ups they were struggling to find it.

Brad Lidge and the Philadelphia Phillies picked up where they left off a year ago against the Dodgers in the National League championship series. Carlos Ruiz and Raul Ibanez hit three-run homers, reliever Ryan Madson got a key out and Lidge finished the Phillies’ 8-6 victory against Los Angeles in Game 1 on Thursday night. Manny Ramirez homered, but grounded out weakly with two runners on against a struggling Madson to end the Dodgers’ two-run rally in the
MLB POSTSEASON eighth. They stranded 10 runners in the game. “It’s like a prize fight, we just came up a little short,” Dodgers manager Joe Torre said. Lidge then worked around a single and a walk in the ninth, helped by a double play that made him for 3 for 3 in save chances this postseason — he posted three saves against the Dodgers in last year’s NLCS. Lidge was perfect in save tries last season when the Phillies won the World Series, but led the majors with 11 blown opportunities this year. “The Dodgers are a great
team. They come from behind a lot so you take everyone seriously,” he said. “Honestly, for some reason I’ve really been locked in this postseason. I felt really good mechanically. I feel like myself. I feel pretty comfortable right now.” Home runs dominated on both sides in a game that lasted 4 hours, 2 minutes. Ruiz highlighted a five-run burst in the fifth, and Ibanez homered in the eighth for an 8-4 lead. James Loney also connected for the Dodgers. Ramirez, baseball’s all-time postseason home run leader with 29, hit a two-run shot. Los Angeles will start Vicente Padilla against Philadelphia’s Pedro Martinez today in Game 2.

it going against a strong Kent Denver. No. 1 singles player Jamey Swiggart, a sophomore, lost to Lewis-Palmer’s Aiden Reid, 6-2, 6-4, in the first round, but he’s hoping to earn a playback bid today. The No. 2 doubles team of sophomore Max Roder and senior Vladan Chase, mean while, fell from the quarterfinals in two sets, 6-4, 6-3. “I went to the tent after that and just thought about it,” Chase said. “It sucks. This whole year, coach was telling us this was the year. ‘You may not win state, but individually it could be a great year.’ “I thought it could happen, but this was just one of those days.”

beat them advance to the finals, allowing a playback opportuni ty into the consolation bracket. “We had a lot of momen tum coming in and a lot of great, positive energy, and the other teams just stepped up and played well,” Steamboat coach John Aragon said. “We missed some opportunities to close out matches, but overall, it wasn’t our lack of play, but the other teams stepping it up.” Third sets destroyed Steam boat all afternoon, and Erspamer and Rogers said they avoided a similar fate by putting their quarterfinal match away in two. The pair survived a threeset scare in the first round and got in trouble again early in their quarterfinal match. They dropped the first four games of the first set to Colorado Academy’s Jono Bentley and Ian Peterson. But everything changed as Steamboat began to build confi dence and put away points. “We stepped it up. We turned up the intensity,” Erspamer said. “We started moving more, and we realized they weren’t really hitting the ball hard and there wasn’t much to be scared of.” The pair strung together six consecutive games to take the first set and then took the final four games of the second set to close out the match. They will need to call on that same kind of determina tion today if they’re to carry on to the state finals. The pair will face off against David Karpas and Alec Lee, of Kent Denver, a team that squashed Erspamer and Rogers, 6-1, 6-0, just two weeks ago. Still smiling wide after their Thursday victories, the Steamboat team wasn’t afraid. “They’re a good team, but I think we can definitely beat them this time,” Rogers said. “We just have to play like we did today.” Nearly everywhere else, “close” continually proved sim ply frustrating. No. 2 doubles player junior Keegan Burger rolled over his first-round opponent and looked in charge as he took the first set from highly regarded Cheyenne Mountain freshman Steven

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Kellie Martin, 34; Flea, 47; Tim Robbins, 51; Suzanne Somers, 63 Happy Birthday: You have a strong sense of what will and what won't work, so act on your instincts and have confidence in who you are and what you can do. Big talkers may make you feel inadequate but in the end you have way more to offer and less to lose if you just go for it. This is a year of progress so be willing to put yourself on the line. Your numbers are 7, 9, 14, 23, 26, 32, 48 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take precautions. Don't put yourself in a vulnerable position. Greater involvement in activities that challenge you will help to eliminate the stress that others are causing in your life. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If you let someone interfere in your life, you will have regrets. A proposal you make must be foolproof before you offer it to anyone of importance. Don't neglect your health. If you are feeling tired, take time to relax.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don't get confused because of what everyone else is doing or telling you to do. You have to make up your own mind. Deception is likely to throw you off-course. Someone is likely to take advantage of you if you allow it. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don't make a decision because things are moving so fast that you feel pressured. Time is on your side even if you are being told otherwise. Take more of an interest in people who can use your expertise and help.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You have so much to gain by focusing on what's really important and letting everything else sit for the time being. Someone younger will have a positive influence on you. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don't worry if things aren't running smoothly at home. Sit back until you see an opportunity to take charge and do what needs to be done. You will find a way to turn negatives into positives. ★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don't waste time when there is so much to be accomplished. A partnership that will bring more value to a project you are working on can be developed and the guidelines set so you both contribute equal amounts. Financial gains can be expected.
★★
★★★
★★★
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may want to be an adventurer or a crusader or just challenge yourself but, before jumping in with both feet, consider what you are really up against. Size down or take on less to make your task more feasible. ★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your authoritative manner will not bode well with the people you are trying to get to help you. Don't push too hard; implementing a little fun into the mix will ensure your success. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your goals will be met and your demands honored. Have some fun by socializing with friends or attending an event that will bring you in touch with new acquaintances. Someone's unique lifestyle will capture your imagination. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A change of plans may unnerve you but, if you show your distress, you will put yourself at a disadvantage. You can take on a burden but only if you strike a deal to be reimbursed.
Cathy ® Cathy Guisewite
Monty ® Jim Meddick
★★★
Birthday Baby: You are incredibly creative and innovative. You are willing to experiment in order to learn. You are loving and entertaining.
★★★★
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Think about your plans -- past, present and future -- and you'll have a better idea what direction will benefit you the most. Rely on knowledge and skills to bring you lucrative returns. ★★★

In 1993, Kelly was a member of the original half-cent sales tax committee. Kelly served twice on the Education Fund Board. He helped the school district broker a deal for a 35-acre site west of Steamboat, where a school could be built with assistance from the planned Steamboat 700 development. And Kelly was twice named a district Friend of Education, in 1993 and 1995. If you know Kelly, or have heard him speak at candidate forums, you’ve probably heard him use the phrase, “All roads lead back to Steamboat.” The Philadelphia native’s love for the outdoors was bred at a young age. His family first visited Colorado in 1965, and he first visited Steamboat a few years later. After graduating from high school in 1972, he headed west with his brother, and the two began building a house on Laurel Lane. Kelly said he was never far from Steamboat during his time at the University of Colorado at Boulder. He hitchhiked here on the weekends to teach youth skiing in winter and lived in the house he helped build in summer. He graduated from CU in 1976 with a degree in geography and two years later began attending the Oregon Institute of Technology to get a surveying degree. That’s where he first got involved with education issues. “I was just interested in the impact you could have organizing people and moving them in a direction toward a common goal,” he said.
Getting involved In the mid-1980s, Kelly worked as a surveyor across the West and in Steamboat, if there was work. At that time, he said, you “could take a nap in the middle of Highway 40.”
He returned full time in 1989 and opened BTK Surveying, the business he operates today. Kelly said Steamboat, unlike some other Colorado mountain towns, was a community that happened to have a ski resort, the opposite of other places he’d lived. As a member of the city’s Planning Commission in 1993, Kennedy learned about the problem with the K-12 “funding crisis.” He said funding was dropping and class sizes were ballooning, so he shifted his focus. With encouragement from his wife, Judy, and help from other community members, Kelly helped create the half-cent sales tax committee. “It was just like, ‘We’ve got to do something,’” he said. “We needed to develop a source of funding outside state revenue.” Kelly worked with the School Board to identify its needs and the City Council to get the sales tax on a ballot. After voters approved it, he helped write the bylaws for the Education Fund Board, the group that recommends how the district spends revenue from the tax. It has generated $31 million for the district. Bob Harris, who at the time was principal of Steamboat Springs Middle School, let the half-cent sales tax committee use the gymnasium for one of its first meetings. He said Kelly’s hard work helped pass the tax, which then helped the district buy computers. In his more than 10 years on the School Board, Bud Romberg said he was most proud of the passage of the half-cent sales tax, which he called a “godsend” for the district. He said it took many people and a lot of energy to get it passed, but Kelly was “instrumental” and one of the leaders who got it done. “He’s had a longtime rela-
tionship with the school district, which has been very positive over the years,” Romberg said. “He has had a longtime interest promoting excellence in the school district.” Kelly had two stints on the Fund Board. After a 1995 bond issue to buy a site for a school failed, he worked with the district to buy land west of Steamboat for a future K-8 school. It is slated to receive funding as part of a deal with the developers of Steamboat 700.
Never an educator Unlike his opponent, Bill Kennedy, who has 39 years of experience in education, Kelly has never been an educator. With his experience as a civic volunteer in Steamboat, Kelly doesn’t see that as a problem. “If you’ve been in education your whole life, you just have that view,” he said. “You may not have that broader view of the entire community. I’ve raised two kids in this district (stepdaughter Samantha, a 2003 Steamboat graduate, and Blake, a sophomore). … I have a clear understanding of this school district and this community — what it’s all about.” Kelly said the biggest issue facing the district is funding, with the state’s financial struggles and the likelihood that K-12 money will be cut. He said the biggest challenge for the district would be setting priorities, based on feedback from the community and teachers about what’s most important to preserve. Kelly said his familiarity with the community would be an asset. “It’s not going to be fun, don’t get me wrong,” he said about dealing with tight budgets. “This isn’t a fun thing. Like anything else, there’s going to be some things you have to live without.”
