Ken Constantine describes a petition available to be signed at his west Steamboat Springs business, Elk River Guns. Ken’s wife, Cindy Constantine, is part of a committee known as Let’s Vote, which is organizing the petition drive. In addition to canvassing the city with its petition, the committee also has made one available at Elk River Guns, 1320 Dream Island Plaza, during regular business hours.

It looks as if the Steamboat Springs City Council — regardless of the outcome of the Nov. 3 election — will put Steamboat 700 to a citywide vote rather than repeal the annexation if petitioners gather enough signatures to trigger the city’s ref-

Steamboat Springs residents Omar Campbell, Greg Rawlings, Terry Armstrong, Tim Rowse and Cindy Constantine have formed a committee known as Let’s Vote to lead a petition drive to send the Steamboat 700 annexation to a public vote. The committee filed an affidavit with the city at 9 a.m. Tuesday and began

collecting signatures afterward. Steamboat 700 is a 487acre annexation approved by the Steamboat Springs City Council last week in a 4-3 vote. It proposes about 2,000 homes and 380,000 square feet of commercial space just west of the current city limits. As of 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Steamboat 700 Principal and Project Manager Danny Mulcahy had
not returned a call seeking comment. Committee members were limited in their responses to questions Tuesday. Constantine, the group’s chairwoman, said the committee simply wants to ask residents, “Would you like the opportunity to vote on the recent decision made by City See Petition, back page

flea market or swap meet is a type of bazaar where inexpensive or secondhand goods are sold or bartered. … The origins of the term are disputed, but some have observed that buyers and sellers may be as active as fleas.” — Wikipedia The balance in my checkbook has barely recovered from the SmartWool sale and SSWSC Ski & Sport Swap when, much to my delight, I spied with my little eye one more — the Mountain Hardware Wholesale Inventory sale this Saturday. Whoa, Nelly! Does it get any better? One last opportunity to load up on gear, glorious gear, holiday gifts, or if you’re running for City Council, another chance to get out to shake hands and kiss a few babies. Best of all, hard-core garage salers have something to do Saturday morning besides drink too much coffee and spiral into the no-bargain-shop-
life in the ’Boat
Joanne Palmer ping depression that can occur at this time of year. With two sales down and one to go, I must offer a lighthearted look at human … OK … local behavior during these, um … shopping opportunities.
The Grabber/Gear-o-holics These people are on a mission. They bring their own bags. They have studied the vendor list. They are prepared. Before you have set foot inside the door, they have elbowed past you to grab everything and anything that might be of interest to them. Think of an overcaffeinated pit bull on roller skates. They are gear-o-holics determined to be prepared for
any and all weather conditions. No snowflake will ever touch their skin because they are ziplocked and shrink-wrapped inside the most high-tech gear. They need a 12-step program more than anything else, but instead will swap out last year’s gear for newer, trendier stuff. Once they have filled their bags to capacity, they sit in a corner and sort through their stash, like a pirate counting his treasure.
The Give upper This shopper starts out with good intentions and high hopes but is soon defeated by the overwhelming number of choices, the crowds and the chaos. This shopper quietly slinks away, never to be spotted at a sale again.

My favorite part about working and writing in Steamboat Springs is that, as a sports and outdoors reporter, i get to step away from my desk and get involved in what i’m writing about. With ski season just around the corner, i am eager to get back to days “working” covering events and people on the slopes of Mount Werner.

NAPA is not part of the industrial enterprise zone that has city sales and use tax exemptions, but several of the store’s customers are.

Businesses to lose tax benefit

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS
West-side businesses that have enjoyed city sales and use tax exemptions for as long as 20 years will soon lose the privilege. The Steamboat Springs City Council voted 6-1 on Tuesday to approve a resolution allowing the city’s industrial enter-
prise zone program to expire as scheduled at the end of this year. Councilwoman Cari Hermacinski voted against the resolution, preferring to allow the program to continue. Officially, the program was created to stimulate economic development in western Steamboat. Unofficially, City Council President Loui Antonucci said it was created
to appease opposition to the city’s annexation of the western Steamboat area in the 1980s. Michael Kortas and his son Jeff, who own masonry businesses in western Steamboat, said earlier Tuesday that the program would be missed. “It would be unfortunate,” Jeff Kortas said before the City See Council, page 20
Leif Hovelsen, Oslo, Norway Son of Carl Howelsen, author of ‘Flying Norseman’, And Grand Marshall of 96th Steamboat Springs Winter Carnival (Howelsen Hill ski area was established and named for his father, Carl, the founder of skiing in the US) “I value my friend Kevin Bennett, running for the City Council. He has shown that he sees the importance of the skiing area (Howelsen Hill) for the town, and thus had given his full support to it during his earlier time as city councilor. He is a man of much experience, down to earth, and shrewd in most practical issues that a City Council will have to deal with. I endorse him from a convinced heart and mind.” October 4, 2009 Elect a leader working for the best interest, not the special interests of our community

If petition succeeds, let the people vote
A
group of citizens took the first steps Tuesday toward enacting their constitutionally protected right to petition government. Kudos to them for taking an active role in our democracy. We now hope the next at issue Steamboat Springs Steamboat 700 City Council will referendum allow the referendum petition process to run its due course and not circumvent it by repealing our view last week’s ordinance Citizens have annexing the controconstitutional versial Steamboat 700 right to petition project. their governThe five-person ment; we hope petition committee that formed Tuesday the next City Council allows hopes to collect thousands of signatures the process to from registered city conclude on its of Steamboat Springs own. voters by Nov. 12, the deadline for filing a petition with the city. However, the group needs only 829 signatures, a number equal to 10 percent of the total number of registered voters in the city’s 2007 municipal election. Cindy Constantine, the petition committee’s chairwoman, said her group simply wants to ask residents, “Would
you like the opportunity to vote on the recent decision made by City Council to annex Steamboat 700?” If enough valid signatures are collected, the City Council can take one of two actions: repeal the Steamboat 700 annexation ordinance without taking it to a vote of the people, or submit the referendum to the voters to let them decide whether the ordinance should be repealed. If the process makes it that far, we think the City Council should allow it to run its due course and culminate in a public vote, likely to take place in January or February. Per the annexation agreement, Steamboat 700 will pay for the costs associated with having the election. What the next City Council shouldn’t do is vote to repeal the ordinance without allowing a vote of the people. We’d be surprised if the next council, whatever its makeup, would take that step. Three of the returning council members voted yes on last week’s annexation ordinance and would be unlikely to repeal the ordinance. One of the no votes, Meg Bentley, initially suggested a motion to put the annexation to a public vote. A second no vote, Cari Hermacinski, said Tuesday she would support putting the issue to a vote if the requisite number of signatures were
collected. And several other candidates running for City Council have voiced support for a public vote on Steamboat 700. This Editorial Board has gone on record in its support of the annexation of Steamboat 700, and we have said on more than one occasion that the current City Council — which has spent nearly two years working on the annexation proposal with the city’s staff and negotiating team — was the group best prepared to make an informed decision on a project of Steamboat 700’s complexity. We still believe that to be the case, but we also respect and defend the legal right of citizens to petition their government. If indeed there are enough registered voters in Steamboat Springs who want the Steamboat 700 annexation project to go to a public vote, and they demonstrate that commitment by signing petitions, then that process absolutely should be granted to them. Should the mail-only election take place sometime early next year, we urge all Steamboat voters to take the time to educate themselves on the Steamboat 700 project and vote with the best future interests of the community in mind. Our hope is that an informed electorate and a citizeninitiated vote of the people will bring about a conclusion we all can accept.

Time to break up ‘firms too big to fail’ one — not the Obama administration, not the labor unions and most certainly no one in the Republican Party — has a clue about how to put them back to work. Meanwhile, Wall Street is living it up. I’m amazed at how passive the population has remained in the face of this sustained outrage. Even as tens of millions of working Americans are struggling to hang onto their jobs and keep a roof over their families’ heads, the wise guys of Wall Street are licking their fat-cat chops about yet another round of obscene multibillion-dollar bonuses — this time thanks to the bailout billions that were sent their way by Uncle Sam, with very little in the way of strings attached. Nevermind that the economy remains deeply troubled. As The Times pointed out on Saturday, much of Wall Street “is minting money.” Call it deja voodoo. I wrote a column that ran three days before Christmas in 2007 that focused on the deeply disturbing disconnect between Wall Streeters harvesting a record crop of bonuses — billions on top of billions — while working families were having a very hard time making ends meet. We would later learn that December 2007 was the very month that the Great Recession
began. I wrote in that column: “Even as the Wall Streeters are high-fiving and ordering up record shipments of Champagne and caviar, the American dream is on life support.” So we had an orgy of bonuses just as the recession was taking hold and now another orgy (with taxpayers as the enablers) that is nothing short of an arrogantly pointed finger in the eye of everyone who suffered, and continues to suffer, in this downturn. Whether P.T. Barnum actually said it or not, there is a sucker born every minute. American taxpayers might want to take a look in the mirror. We need to make some fundamental changes in the way we do things in this country. The gamblers and con artists of the financial sector, the very same clowns who did so much to bring the economy down in the first place, are howling self-righteously about the prospect of regulations aimed at curbing the worst aspects of their excessively risky behavior and preventing them from causing yet another economic meltdown. We should be going even further. We’ve institutionalized the idea that there are firms that are too big to fail and, therefore, “we, the people” are obliged to see that they don’t — even if that means bankrupting the national treasury and undermining the living standards of ordinary people. What sense
does that make? If some company is too big to fail, then it’s too big to exist. Break it up. Why should the general public have to constantly worry that a misstep by the high-wire artists at Goldman Sachs (to take the most obvious example) would put the entire economy in peril? These financial acrobats get the extraordinary benefits of their outlandish risk-taking — multimillion-dollar paychecks, homes the size of castles — but the public has to be there to absorb the worst of the pain when they take a terrible fall. Enough! Goldman Sachs is thriving while the combined rates of unemployment and underemployment are creeping toward a mind-boggling 20 percent. Two-thirds of all the income gains from the years 2002 to 2007 — two-thirds! — went to the top 1 percent of Americans. We cannot continue transferring the nation’s wealth to those at the apex of the economic pyramid — which is what we have been doing for the past three decades or so — while hoping that someday, maybe, the benefits of that transfer will trickle down in the form of steady employment and improved living standards for the many millions of families struggling to make it from day to day. That money is never going to trickle down. It’s a fairy tale. We’re crazy to continue believing it.

Slopeside Grill has sold, Jim Cook, of Colorado Group Realty, confirmed Tuesday. Steamboat Springs homeowner Bill Banks said Tuesday afternoon that he is the restaurant’s new owner. Banks was rushing out the door and could not immediately speak further. Cook said the sale is scheduled to close Nov. 3. The sale marks the end of a chapter for the Torian Plum Plaza restaurant, where staff and community members have been struggling with grief since for-
mer owner Chris Corna died in May. Corna’s parents received the restaurant as beneficiaries of his estate. Cook handled the sale and said it was a trying time for Barbara and Richard Corna. “It’s been kind of a gutwrenching thing for the family,” Cook said. Slopeside general manager Camille Flynn said the past five months have been hard for restaurant employees. Flynn said there has been minimal turnover at the restaurant, none of it related to the new ownership. “A very, very few of us who decided to leave left of our own accord,” she said. “It was just too sad to work here without Chris.”
Flynn said she has put in her notice at the restaurant, which soon will have a new general manager in addition to the new owner. Flynn had warm praise for Banks. “Everyone is on good terms, and the new owner is a really wonderful man,” she said. Corna, 45, died May 18 in Port Chester, N.Y. The Westchester County, N.Y., Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death a suicide. A memorial to Corna at the base area has been proposed. — To reach Mike Lawrence, call 871-4233 or e-mail mlawrence@steamboatpilot.com

El día jueves la Administración Nacional Atmosférica y del Océano emitió el pronóstico del clima para el invierno el cual se considera el promedio de las precipitaciones, bajo el promedio y sobre el promedio en la Oeste, que eventualmente se podría presentar entre las montañas hasta el mes de febrero. Mike Halpert, Sub-Director del Centro de Predicción del Clima NOAA dijo que el fenómeno del calentamiento de las aguas en el Océano Pacifico conocido como El Niño será un factor determinante en el clima desde el mes de diciembre hasta febrero en los Estados Unidos. “Esperamos que la corriente de ‘El Niño’ refuerce y persista a través de los meses de invierno, haciéndonos conocer los indicios de lo que será el clima durante ese periodo de tiempo” dijo Halpert. “El calentamiento de las aguas ecuatoriales del Pacífico cambia los patrones de las lluvias tropicales que a su turno cambian la fuerza y la posición de las corrientes de flujos y tormentas sobre el Océano Pacífico y los Estados Unidos”. Se sabe que de las primeras caídas de nieve en Steamboat, Mount Werner es propenso a tener más y más nieve cada día ya que las corrientes se depositan en el valle de Yampa por la corriente del noroeste. Uno no podría adivinar si el Storm Peak tendrá una cubierta moderada de nieve, sin embargo, la profundidad de la nieve se irá asentando solamente en el norte del Buffalo Pass hasta llegar a una profundidad de 30 pulgadas.

Candidates take on business climate
As the residents of Steamboat Springs and the seven 2009 City Council candidates prepare themselves for the Tuesday, Nov. 4 election, the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association invited all candidates to reflect on and answer the following business related question: “What are the top two things you would do to improve the business climate in Steamboat Springs?” What are the top two things you would do to improve the business climate in Steamboat Springs?

First, I will work to maximize all existing tourist-based relationships by preserving the funding for summer marketing, Mainstreet, special events, the Yampa Valley Regional Airport and Bob Adams Field. I will support new relationships with a focus on biking — an activity that fits the ethic and lifestyle of Steamboat residents. Second, I will work to suspend regulations and ordinances that impede businesses if they don’t impact the safety of residents.
Kevin Bennett District 1
First, increase the city’s contribution to summer and winter marketing for the community of Steamboat Springs. Second, re-establish the Industrial Enterprise Zone to provide incentives for private enterprise to expand and for new businesses to locate within the city and to provide more job opportunities for residents of the city.
Springs a great place to live, work, operate a business, raise a family and visit. Priorities need to be based on the longterm health of the community, both physically and socially. I will support efforts at preserving open space and maintaining our many wonderful amenities. I will support affordable housing policies designed to help the people who work in our city to live here.

We need to revitalize Ski Time Square now, before redevelopment occurs. Using a collaborative approach between the city, the developer and existing store-owners, we have to take the problem we are currently faced with and find solutions.

Tourism and construction are the largest economic engines in this community. In regard to tourism, I would support the Chamber efforts in marketing, especially targeting and expanding those potential visitors that generate higher end lodging and retail purchases. Past successes would be exemplified by the cutter horse events, auto shows and racers. Construction could be jump started by a more user-friendly permit process and educating potential lenders and home buyers about financing options.
We must constantly find outside business partners to come

On City Council, the number one thing to improve the business climate in Steamboat Springs is talk to existing businesses. The city manager and one or two Council members need to visit with businesses asking what the city can do to cultivate the business climate. The second thing is continue to work with Chamber on marketing, both destination travel and special events. Diversification of the summer events and supporting new events.

Considering the strengths of our business climate; a favorable tax structure, top fire and police departments, strong amenities, excellent educational facilities, airports, hotel and conference areas. The number one improvement is affordable housing for middle class families and workers here in town. Our community should work here and also spend here at our local businesses. This will strengthen and help sustain our local economy. Secondly, we must support existing businesses through marketing programs, employee training, market development and diversification.

In an effort to curb the spread of swine flu, Routt County employees can now take sick days above their allotted amount on credit. The Routt County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a motion Tuesday that designates the 2009-10 fall and winter flu seasons as a “pandemic condition” for Routt County offices. County Manager Tom Sullivan said the motion is a response to the classification of the H1N1 virus, known as swine flu, as a pandemic by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization.

County reacts to swine flu spread active effort and that he has not seen widespread absences of county employees or drops in public service. “As an employer, Routt County has seen absences of employees due to flu and to stay home with sick children,” Sullivan wrote in a packet accompanying the motion. “Applying the Pandemic Sick Leave Policy is a preventive means to minimize sick leave absences and maintain continuity of government.” Sullivan said anecdotally, he knows of at least four county employees who have been absent with flu-like symptoms. “H1N1 is going to impact us throughout this flu season,” he said. “This allows department See County, page 19

There have been no reported illegal uses of the 1,351 Social Security numbers that were on a laptop stolen from the Steamboat Springs School District offices in February, police and district officials reported. But police have not made any arrests in the case and are urging former and current district employees to use the free year’s worth of credit monitoring the district provided. “Basically, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation was not able to find any identifying prints on what we submitted, which was from the vicinity of (Finance Director) Dale
Mellor’s office and … the proximity of where the laptop was,” Steamboat Springs police Capt. Joel Rae said Tuesday. On Feb. 25, district officials found that the district offices had been burglarized overnight and that a laptop containing personal information of employees for the past 10 years was stolen off of Mellor’s desk. Police found five internal doors damaged and the laptop and a blank ledger book stolen from the office of the Northwest Colorado Board of Cooperative Educational Services, housed in the same building on Seventh Street. Police said they suspect the burglars entered the building through an open door, and police See Laptop, page 19

This year’s Lowell Whiteman Primary School scholarship auction is especially important given the economic recession and resulting financial strains placed on area families, said Nancy Spillane, head of the school. The school will kick-start its 17th annual scholarship fundraising campaign with this year’s “LWPS Goes Ghostly” scholarship auction at 5 p.m. Sunday at the Ghost Ranch Saloon. “Every single penny goes to scholarships for Routt County kids to come to Lowell Whiteman Primary,” Spillane said. She said the school awarded more than $101,000 in scholarships to students this year, eclipsing last year’s total by about $15,000. Of the school’s 60 students, 29 percent receive some financial aid. Spillane said she expects more financial aid requests and scholarships to be awarded next year to pay the school’s $12,000 annual tuition. This year’s auction will have

Education leaders learned about a possible path to more funding Tuesday morning. Colorado Department of Education Commissioner Dwight D. Jones gave a presentation in Steamboat Springs about the state’s application to receive some of the $4.3 billion in “Race to the Top” federal stimulus funding. Jones said his Steamboat visit was part of a three-day statewide tour to explain Race to the Top, which provides states funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Officials from Routt County schools and nonprofit groups were on hand to hear about the funding, which if granted, would be split 50-50 by the state and school districts. He said the application, led by Gov. Bill Ritter and being prepared by the state, would be evaluated on four criteria: participation in national efforts to adopt common curriculum standards and assessments, implementation of statewide data systems to support instruction, differentiation of teachers and principals according to effectiveness, and turning around struggling schools. Jones said the funding would be dedicated toward improving student achievement and closing achievement gaps. He said the state has estimated that if it were approved, it would receive $200 million to $300 million. The funding is dedicated to school districts according to the federal Title 1 formula, which means most would go to lowincome districts and districts that

struggle academically. Because Steamboat is a highperforming district academically, Superintendent Shalee Cunningham said she didn’t think it would benefit from the funding, or would receive very little. “We have high achievement, and even our low-income and minority kids do well,” she said. “We’ll be at the bottom of this list, I think.” Nina Lopez, who is coordinating the state’s use of stimulus money, said if Colorado were approved for Race to the Top funding, the money wouldn’t be used to “backfill” the state’s budget cuts. Instead, the state’s portion would go toward implementing a new $60 million to $80 million standards and assessment system, Jones said. He said the state was creating a new standardized curriculum and working on a new assessment program and had recently rolled out the Colorado Growth Model, its new student and school evaluation tool. “We think it just moves forward our current agenda,” he said about the stimulus funding. By using stimulus funding to implement the new standards and assessment system, Jones added, the state would cut in half the $15 million to $17 million in administrative costs for providing those assessments. The state would request that local school districts enter a
partnership that would require them to implement all aspects of the state plan, participate in evaluation efforts, comply with reporting requirements and meet project implementation requirements. As of Tuesday morning, Jones said 85 of Colorado’s 178 school districts already had signed a partnership agreement, but he would like them all to sign on. Cunningham said she thought the state’s plans for using the funding were great. She said she plans to speak with the district’s principals this week and the School Board next week about the possibility of entering into a partnership. Hayden Superintendent Greg Rockhold and South Routt Superintendent Scott Mader said they would speak to their school boards about entering that partnership with the state. “We will investigate it, absolutely,” Mader said. “We will talk to the board and the district improvement team to see what the interest is. I think there’s a lot of potential to forward what we’re already doing.” Lopez said that interest from other states for Race to the Top funding was high and that the federal government said it wants to award fewer states, maybe six to 12, with larger pieces of the pie. Jones said applications would be due in two phases, after the first of the year and in spring. Funding for the first phase would be awarded in the spring, and funding for the second phase next fall. — To reach Jack Weinstein, call 871-4203 or e-mail jweinstein@steamboatpilot.com

The Hotchkiss man who died when he crossed the centerline while driving on Colorado Highway 131 was found with cocaine in his urine, but not in his blood, a Colorado State Trooper report reveals. Cpl. Brian Bagley said that result does not give a definite answer of whether 48-year-old driver Todd Moore was intoxicated at the time of the Sept. 28 crash. “The answer there is it doesn’t conclusively give you an answer,” he said. “The general thing would be if it’s in somebody’s urine it’s recent use, and if it’s found in their blood it’s active at that time … but it’s much, much more complicated than that.” Bagley said cocaine was found in the car, leading investigators and pathologists to look for the drug in Moore’s system. “Without a person that we can actually talk to and evaluate at the time, then the overall answer is inconclusive if he was impaired at the time or not,” Bagley said. Bagley said there is no question that Moore, driving a 2004 Honda Civic south on Colo. 131, crossed into the northbound lane and struck a Ford Aerostar driven by 66-year-old James Goggin, of Yampa. Bagley said there was no indication that excessive speed caused Moore to lose control of his car. Moore was declared dead at the scene, and Routt County Coroner Rob Ryg said at the time that it appeared he died from massive blunt force trauma. Medical crews took Goggin to Yampa Valley Medical Center in serious condition. He later was taken to a hospital in Denver, and Bagley said he heard that Goggin was recovering after several operations. Goggin was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash, but Moore was. A third car went off the road to avoid the crash, but nobody in that car was injured. According to an obituary run in the Delta County Independent and the Daily Camera in Boulder, Moore was originally from Ohio and moved to Colorado in his 20s. He is survived by his wife, Becci Williams; son, Chris Marquez; parents, William Moore and Suzanne Alexander, and four siblings.

Craig City Councilor Ray Beck told Police Chief Walt Vanatta he was “concerned and disappointed” in the way the Craig Police Department handled its investigation of former Detective Ken Johnson. The City Council had a special meeting Tuesday night to discuss issues surrounding Johnson’s arrest and ongoing felony prosecution in Moffat County Court. Johnson resigned from the Police Department on Sept. 8,

tion was deemed inconclusive, though Johnson was suspended for one week without pay. During the council meeting Tuesday, Beck said he could not understand how police officials did not discover Johnson’s alleged criminal actions or his relationship with local woman Tausha Merwin, and how they continued to employ Johnson six months after their investigation began. “Is it with all your combined years experience that you cannot tell me one of your employees is lying?” Beck asked.

He is charged with attempting to influence a public servant, a Class 4 felony; as well as accessory to crime and embezzlement of public property, both Class 5 felonies.

‘I was just doing my thing’ Guitarist continued from 6 plays at 10 p.m. at Old Town Pub. Charles broke into the U.S. blues scene with an invitation to play at Guy’s Chicago nightclub about 20 years ago. Already established in Australia, he’d been hoping to make it to this country, “to bring my music to the U.S. and see how it felt to people here and see how I could fit in musically,” he said. When Guy’s management invited him to come on a two-week tour, Charles jumped at the chance to play in the same area as one of his biggest influences, he said. After his two weeks stateside, Charles went back to Australia. He then decided to try things out here for a while. A few weeks turned into a few months, a few months turned into a few years, and Charles has stayed. The touring musician credits a diverse musical education for his taste in blues-tinted songs that are driven by guitar licks but supported by Charles’ lyrics. “My dad ... he was more into the country and bluegrass; he really liked that kind of music.

And also, I remember as a kid, he used to love listening to Roy Orbison records. So his taste in music obviously rubbed off on me, but I kind of took it in another direction,” Charles said. He also credits the music he listened to growing up. “I was playing blues without really knowing I was playing blues. As I got older, I would hear on the radio the Beatles when they first came out, and Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis and all those cats, and they’re all heavily blues-influenced musicians. So everything I liked was blues-influenced, and blues was just there, I was very into it,” he said. “It wasn’t until I really moved to the States when I realized how much of a blues player I was. I was just kind of doing my thing,” he said.

Also Tuesday Commissioners confirmed their support for a community celebration and send-off for 2010 Olympic athletes, planned for the evening of Feb. 5, 2010, on the Routt County Courthouse lawn on Lincoln Avenue.

Department of Transportation has adopted a new policy that emphasizes safety considerations for bicyclists and pedestrians in all state roadway projects. While the new policy does not change state standards for factors including shoulder width and intersection layouts, Mitsch Bush said the policy shows a heightened emphasis on protecting all road users. “What this is really saying is these (users) are really on the same plane … in terms of safety accommodations,” she said. “If you plan a new road that is unsafe for bikes and pedestrians, you really have to make a good argument as to why that was done.” The new policy was approved last week, Mitsch Bush said.
Employee credit monitoring cost $20K Laptop continued from 14 at the scene said it appeared that there were fingerprints. Rae said there have been no reports of identity theft as a result of the theft, and Superintendent Shalee Cunningham said she has not heard of any identity theft from employees. Cunningham said the district is keeping closer tabs on the way Social Security numbers are stored but that they are still required for payroll purposes.
The spreadsheet with Social Security numbers on Mellor’s computer was left over from a previous district audit. It was protected by at least one password. The district contacted everyone whose information was on the list and agreed to pay for a year’s worth of credit monitoring for each of them. The move cost the district $20,000. Rae said the monitoring could help police track the thief if the data is used.
“We’re encouraging all school district employees to closely monitor the three main credit bureaus and to report any activity to the Police Department, because that may be the information that cracks the case,” he said. Rae said police have not interviewed any suspects. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 870-6226. The information is anonymous, and the person also could be eligible for a cash reward.

Council meeting. “It was just a nice convenience and a bonus for being over there. It was always the less desirable part of town, so it … made it worth it.” The two men said the program was an enormous help and allowed them to save big by not having to pay city sales tax on major equipment purchases such as trucks and forklifts. And while the program does not affect residential areas, Michael Kortas said the industrial enterprise zone aided affordable housing efforts. “If you do a live-work unit, there’s still really a benefit to affordable housing if you leave (the program) in,” he said. Businesses with industrial enterprise zone licenses are exempt from paying city sales and use taxes on the purchase or sale of parts, equipment, machinery and tools.

where people live. This year, there are five ballots based on where in Routt County the voter lives, but they need only be printed once per voter. Weinland said the mail-in ballot system also saves money because there is no time spent training the nearly 100 volunteers, or setting up and taking down the nine polling places in 18 precincts. The final cost of this year’s election will not be known until mid-November. Weinland said the agencies in the election — the city of Steamboat Springs, the town of Hayden, Steamboat Springs School District, Hayden School District and Eagle County School District — will be billed proportionately to cover the cost of the election. Weinland said the proportions are based on how many items the agency has on the ballot and the number of voters affected. The mail-in ballots are to be returned in a special envelope
with a tab on the back. Clerks said voters must sign the envelope in the space provided on the back, but they are not supposed to pull off the tab. The clerks remove it to verify the signature after receiving the ballot. Ballots won’t be disqualified if the voter pulls off the strip covering the signature. Weinland said the election in 2007, the last odd-year election comparable to this year’s vote, had a turnout of 57 percent. The 2008 election had a turnout of 90.33 percent of active voters. Voters are considered active from the time they register until they miss a general election. Weinland said odd-year elections typically have a much lower turnout. Weinland has said that about 80 percent of active registered voters in Routt County have requested a permanent mail-in ballot. “There’s a variety of ways that a voter can request permanent mail-in status,” she said Tuesday night. “The main one is
when they apply for an absentee, which is now called a mail-in ballot … there’s a box that they can check. There’s also a box they can check when they register to vote, or they can notify us. It’s very simple, and it’s obviously proving to be a very popular alternative.” The main concern Weinland said she has heard from voters is that some have not received their ballot. “If they haven’t gotten their ballots yet, they really should be contacting us,” she said. Voters can visit the Clerk’s Office in the old courthouse in the 500 block of Lincoln Avenue to request a new ballot and to update their address. Forms to update addresses and to request new ballots also can be downloaded at the clerk’s Web site, accessible through www.co.routt.co.us, but those forms must be accompanied by a signature. — To reach Zach Fridell, call 871-4208 or e-mail zfridell@steamboatpilot.com

ACET commander filed a complaint Detective continued from 18 Vanatta answered almost immediately. “There’s times you get fooled,” he said. “We got fooled.” Beck also wanted to know whether Police Commander Jerry DeLong was qualified to handle internal investigations. Vanatta answered that he was, in his opinion, but he said there are no official certifications for internal affairs work. Finally, Beck asked how it came to be that the Police Department found no evidence of Johnson’s criminal actions. “I don’t think that’s a fair statement,” Vanatta said, and then he described how the Police Department’s and district attorney’s investigations differed.
Police investigation All charges against Johnson stem from an alleged sexual relationship. Prosecutors say Johnson had a relationship with Merwin while he was a police officer and member of the All Crimes Enforcement Team drug task force. Prosecutors allege Johnson lied to his superiors during their
internal investigation, helped Merwin violate probation for drug crimes, shared information about confidential law enforcement investigations, released names of confidential informants and gave her a laptop computer and other equipment owned by law enforcement. Before the night’s council meeting, Vanatta spoke at length Tuesday afternoon with local media about his department’s investigation. He said his department investigated an alleged relationship between Johnson and Merwin, and at the time, there was no indication he had done anything criminal. The department’s inquiry began after ACET Commander Garrett Wiggins filed a complaint about Johnson’s alleged relationship with Merwin, Vanatta said. According to Wiggins’ report, he thought the relationship was affecting Johnson’s work and had crossed the line of what is acceptable under the Police Department’s code of conduct. Merwin is a convicted felon and was on probation at the time for drug possession. Vanatta said his department interviewed Johnson and Merwin, as well as made
Johnson take a polygraph test administered by the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office. Although the polygraph report did not state Johnson lied, it did state he attempted to manipulate the test by controlling his physical reactions to the questions asked. When the polygraph report came back in April, Vanatta said he was ready to fire Johnson. But he had another piece of evidence to consider. Johnson’s doctor wrote a letter telling police officials that it was impossible for Johnson 1979 tosince be involved with Merwin because of a medical condition. The doctor reasserted the conclusion during an official interview with police. “That, in my mind, made it inconclusive,” Vanatta said about the investigation. During the council meeting Tuesday night, Moffat County Sheriff Tim Jantz defended his colleague’s handling of the case. “We’re human beings, too,” Jantz said. “We want to believe in the people we hired. Sometimes we get duped. So be it. I’ll take that risk to believe in the people.”

Summit County Rescue Group faced an all-night evacuation after a hunter from Wisconsin slipped, fell and injured himself Saturday afternoon. He was located on the west side of Elliot Ridge in the Eagles Nest Wilderness between State Bridge and Heeney. Although the hunter was trapped in Eagle County, Summit County rescue coordinators helped Vail Mountain Rescue because the area was harder to reach from the Eagle side. “This is a very remote area in the northern Gore Range, and in fact, he happened to be very close to the same spot where
three snowmobilers were found two years ago after a lengthy and highly publicized search,” said Anna DeBattiste, the public information officer for Summit County Rescue Group. One of the snowmobilers involved in that incident died. According to DeBattiste, 22 rescuers from Summit County Rescue Group responded at about 4:30 p.m. — they took ATVs to the wilderness border and then dropped down into a very steep gully on foot. Next, they descended about 1,200 feet through treacherous terrain, including snow fields, scree fields and loose rock. Rescuers reached the hunter at 9 p.m., but by then they thought it was too hard to bring the hunter back the way they came.
“It was very cold, and we did not think going back up the steep scree field was safe even if we didn’t have a patient to transport,” DeBattiste said. They looked for other ways out, but after searching the area for hours, rescuers couldn’t find a usable route. But they did find a good landing zone. So incident commander Joe Ben Slivka called the National Guard High Altitude Training Center in Eagle County at 1 a.m. and asked for a helicopter. Sixteen rescuers carried the hunter down to the landing zone — an operation that required moving half a mile through steep scree fields and marshy areas. They reached the site at about 3 a.m., built a fire and spent the night waiting.
manager, oversee the operation. Colorado Ski and Golf, which is the parent company for Aspen Sports, also known as Specialty Sports, had run the golf pro shop for the past 30 years. But when the lease came up earlier this year, the company decided not to bid for the business again. And because the city wasn’t able to attract a suitable and qualified operator, the municipal golf department was forced
to take the pro shop operations in-house. The golf department will borrow $200,000 from the city’s parks fund to cover the start-up costs, and the loan will be paid back throughout 10 years. The money will be used to buy operational equipment and retail inventory, as well as to pay a head golf professional to set up operations on a contract basis.

Aspen employee benefits fall Reduced compensation takes toll on individuals’ bottom line Carolyn Sackariason The Aspen Times
Aspen
City of Aspen employees will individually lose thousands of dollars in compensation between 2008 and 2010, as a result of higher costs and the economic downturn that is hitting the local tourism economy harder than predicted. City financiers Monday explained to the Aspen City Council how employees’ loss in benefits translate into a decrease in dollars as part of their total compensation packages. Employees who have an average tenure of two years will lose $1,429; those employed for the past 10 years will lose $1,579, and those who have worked in City Hall for 25 years will lose $3,831, said Ashley Ernemann, the city’s assistant finance director. “That’s a pretty big hit,” said
COLUMBINE GRANITE
Councilman Dwayne Romero. Those reductions account for the elimination of specific employee bonus programs, a reduction in the wellness and fitness benefit and higher health insurance premiums. Councilman Derek Johnson suggested the city find ways to lessen the pain to employees by offering them free passes and access to city-owned facilities such as the Aspen Recreation Center, the golf course and the Wheeler Opera House. The council appeared agreeable and directed department leaders in charge of those facilities to come back with a proposal that includes giving city employees access during off-peak times. The 263 full-time employees who will be employed in 2010 will receive $300 for their fitnessand-wellness benefit. Last year, it was $990, said Alissa Farrell, the city’s human resources director. Another benefit that has been
eliminated is the “Over the Top Award,” which was designed for exceptional employees to receive a monetary reward of $50 to $150, dependent on their meritorious performance. City employees’ salaries also will be frozen in 2010, as they were in 2009. In previous years, city employees enjoyed between 6 and 7 percent pay increases. City officials in February froze all employee salaries and eliminated or reduced some benefits and bonuses. Those personnel and benefit cuts amounted to about $1.4 million in savings. More than $2.4 million in total cuts were made to the city’s 2009 general fund, which included eliminating or freezing 20 positions, with nine employee layoffs. Last month, the Aspen city government laid off 12 more employees and eliminated four other positions, shaving $1.36 million off its operating budget.

An investigation into possible criminal charges for a Colorado couple who told authorities their son floated off in a balloon shaped like a flying saucer has spread to those who worked with them. Robert Thomas told sheriff’s investigators about what he observed between amateur storm chasers Richard and Mayumi Heene when he helped record the husband’s ideas earlier this year, said Thomas’ attorney, Linda Lee. Thomas earlier sold his story to the Web site Gawker.com. Lee said Richard Heene was “obsessed” with trying to land a TV show and become famous.
Thomas told the “Today” show on NBC on Tuesday that he had nothing to do with the hoax and didn’t know about the balloon being launched until he saw it on television. Asked whether he should be profiting by selling his story, Thomas, who described himself as an entrepreneur and a college student, said he was told that people sell their stories to the media and that he was paid “way less than most people think.” Larimer County investigators have been poring over e-mails, phone records and financial documents from the Heene home as they ponder charges against the Heenes. The Federal Aviation Administration has opened its own investigation into the balloon flight, spokesman Mike
Fergus said Tuesday. He said the inquiry began either Friday or Monday, but he didn’t know how long it would take. Fergus said the FAA investigates only civil allegations, rather than criminal ones. He declined to provide details. The balloon landed near Denver International Airport, and some flights had to be changed to a different runway for 20 minutes. The sheriff’s office said its findings will be forwarded to prosecutors next week to decide if the Heenes should be charged with falsely reporting that their 6-year-old son, Falcon, had drifted away in a large homebuilt helium balloon to drum up publicity for a reality TV show. The investigation could reach beyond the Heenes.
Lawmakers mull measures to cut poverty Steven K. Paulson The Associated Press
DENVER
Colorado lawmakers have given initial approval to a package of bills aimed at reducing the number of people in poverty. Proposed measures adopted Tuesday by the Economic Opportunity Poverty Reduction Task Force include allowing people who claim the earned income tax credit to collect their refunds first. Others would make it easier for convicted criminals to get jobs and for officials to waive
fees for identity documents needed by job seekers. Committee members say the budget crisis has limited the state’s ability to fund povertyreduction programs. But they maintain there are other ways to help people struggling to make ends meet, including easing regulatory burdens. “There is no money, but we need the semblance of a safety net. We have to focus on economic development that serves people instead of the other way around,” said committee chairman Rep. John Kefalas, D-Fort Collins.
The committee struggled with a bill that would strengthen state rent control laws after Republicans argued it would give local governments too much influence with developers. “I see this as extortion,” said Sen. Al White, a Republican from Hayden. Democrats insisted the agreements were voluntary. The bills from the interim committee still must be approved by legislative leaders before they are introduced to the full Legislature in January. Lawmakers can also submit them on their own.

A Frontier Airlines pilot who was fired after he took an alcohol test whose results came back positive is trying to get his job back. A complaint filed Monday by the pilots union in U.S. District Court in Denver says Capt. Gilbert Ponder was fired Oct. 1, 2008, six days after taking the test. The Frontier Airline Pilots Association says a board that acts like an arbitrator between employees and the airline concluded the termination was justified. However, the union says the board also found that

Officials at the Audubon Surgery Center in Colorado Springs say there is no evidence any of their patients contracted hepatitis C from a surgery technician who used syringes filled with painkillers meant for patients. Hospital officials had feared that as many as 1,220 patients had been exposed to the disease by 26-year-old Kristen Diane Parker. Parker was indicted and pleaded guilty last month to some of the charges against her under an agreement that includes a 20-year prison term. Prosecutors say Parker infected 16 hospital patients at Rose Medical Center. Audubon officials told The Gazette of Colorado Springs that tests have shown none of their patients got the disease from Parker. Parker had worked at both hospitals.

Does Colorado need tighter rules on medical marijuana? Even the state’s booming pot industry isn’t sure. On Monday, after the U.S. Department of Justice loosened guidelines on federally prosecuting medical marijuana, state Attorney General John Suthers said regulations are needed to deal with the “rapid proliferation” of state marijuana dispensaries, now thought to number about 100. “This legal vacuum also has left Colorado’s towns and cities to grapple with the state’s burgeoning marijuana trade,” Suthers wrote. But the industry itself is unsure it needs regulation. Some say state rules would make clear that cities may not ban dispensaries and would make it easier for growers to open shops. Others want the legislature to butt out, fearing officials will try to restrict marijuana use already approved by voters in a 2000 referendum. Marijuana advocates who favor a state law say it would prevent a hodgepodge of local rules. “It would be nice if we could get a definition of what a dispensary is and how it should work,” said Laura Kriho, spokeswoman for the Colorado-based Cannabis Therapy Institute. “The way it’s going now, we’re going to have a patchwork of ordinances.” Several towns have ordered zoning moratoriums on dispensaries while they try to figure out how to regulate them. State law is silent on how far cities can go to limit medical marijuana, and the state department of health last summer declined
to clamp down on how many patients a dispensary can serve. The result has been a confusing free-for-all as dispensaries try to navigate local zoning laws. Timothy Tipton, owner of four dispensaries with the name Rocky Mountain Caregivers Cooperative, worries that state officials simply want to restrict access for patients in need. “These are people in the worst of the worst health. And they’re being continuously prodded by law enforcement,” said Tipton, whose dispensaries serve 750 people. Law enforcement says the lack of state regulation leaves officers confused on how to tell the difference between legal medical marijuana operations and illegal drug dealers. As a result, officers “find it almost impossible” to shut down illegal growers, said Donald Christensen, executive director of the Littleton-based County Sheriffs of Colorado.

lesser-known Democrats. Dollars aren’t materializing as much as expected — even with a record-shattering fundraiser like Obama at the party’s helm and working furiously to bring in cash. And, two weeks before off-year elections, Democrats are facing the prospect of losing hard-fought gubernatorial races in Virginia and perhaps New Jersey, contests that depend on the Democratic base and that to a certain degree are shaping up as a test of Obama’s political strength. All that’s a wake-up call for a party that controls the White House and Congress and for a president elected in an electoral landslide less than a year ago. So, as the Democratic standard-bearer, Obama is putting his time on the line and his prestige to the test with a blitz of fundraisers and campaign appearances. Obama stands to raise as much as $3 million in New York City for the Democratic National Committee on Tuesday as well as an unspecified sum for Bill Owens, the Democrat in a special congressional election in upstate New York. The president paired an
official White House event — a visit to a joint terrorism task force center — with the fundraising trip, meaning a reduced cost of presidential travel for the campaigns while taxpayers pick up the rest of the tab. In the coming days, the president also will campaign for Democrats in New Jersey, Virginia, Massachusetts, Conne cticut and Florida, a notable cashing-in of Obama’s time as he fights to pass health care reform and tries to find a winning Afghanistan strategy. It’s not just this year’s races that are at issue but also the broader state of the Democratic Party — from cash-flow to enthusiasm — heading into next year. In the 2010 elections, Democrats will try to defend their majorities in Congress and seek to pick up governor’s seats. The party in power typically loses congressional seats in the first election of a president’s term. Obama certainly wants to avoid the fate of Bill Clinton, who similarly swept into office with youthful energy only to see his party lose control of Congress two years later.

President Barack Obama’s willingness to consider alternatives to medical malpractice lawsuits is providing a boost for taking such cases out of the courtroom and letting experts, not juries, decide their merits. The idea of appointing neutral experts to sift malpractice facts from allegations appeals to conservatives in both political parties. They want to address medical liability as part of health care legislation that’s now largely silent on the issue. Trial lawyers remain steadfastly opposed to curbs. Nonetheless, the American Hospital Association has been shopping a new plan to lawmakers, hoping it will be considered during Senate floor debate on health care in the coming weeks. Separately, at a Health and Human Services hearing next week, proponents of the idea will urge the administration to provide funds for a pilot program. Obama has set aside $25 million to test a range of alternatives to malpractice litigation, and the hearing is the first step
in deciding how to distribute it. “There is a progressive opportunity here to leapfrog what has been a stereotypically polarized debate in Washington,” said Will Marshall, president of the Progressive Policy Institute, a centrist Democratic think tank. “This serves both progressive and conservative goals. You wouldn’t have to have a terrible injury and attract an enterprising malpractice lawyer to have access to court. And it would reduce malpractice premiums.” Doctors have maintained for years that fear of being sued leads them to order unneeded tests that raise costs for everyone. In Obama, they’ve found a Democratic president who accepts that premise. Validation also has come from the Congressional Budget Office. In a turnaround, it recently concluded that malpractice curbs would lower the federal deficit by $54 billion in 10 years, mainly because Medicare and Medicaid wouldn’t have to pay as much for defensive medicine. What Obama doesn’t accept is the idea of slapping hard limits on jury awards in malpractice cases, the remedy long advocated by doctors’ groups.

Report: Exporters rebound quicker Companies shipping to foreign markets fare better in recession Emily Fredrix
The Associated Press
Companies that ship coal, chemicals, soft drinks and purses to emerging markets such as India and China appear to be snapping out of the recession faster than those that are closely tied to the U.S. and Europe. Earnings reports out Tuesday show that sales in emerging
markets are providing a glimmer of hope for the companies and their investors. In more developed parts of the world, companies still have to rely on cost-cutting to muddle through. Caterpillar, which makes heavy equipment, raised its earnings forecast for the year because of performance in Asia, its bestperforming region. Deliveries of its products in China were
higher than they had ever been for the third quarter. Other companies, including drugmaker Pfizer and handbag maker Coach, say sales are picking up in Asia. Asian economies are stronger now because they adopted fiscal stimulus plans right away when their economies started to weaken, said Jay Bryson, global economist at Wells Fargo Securities.

With the economy struggling, parents and students dared to hope this year might offer a break from rising college costs. Instead, they got another sharp increase. Average tuition at fouryear public colleges in the U.S. climbed 6.5 percent, or $429, to $7,020 this fall as schools apologetically passed on much of their own financial problems, according to an annual report from the College Board, released Tuesday. At private colleges, tuition rose 4.4 percent, or $1,096, to $26,273. “Every sector of the American economy is under stress and higher education is no excep-
tion,” said Terry Hartle, senior vice president of the American Council on Education. The price increases came despite painful cost-cutting by colleges on everything from faculty to cafeterias and sports travel. And as usual, the rise in tuition outstripped the overall inflation rate. In fact, during the period covered by the report, consumer prices declined 2.1 percent. So the latest tuition increase at public colleges was closer to 9 percent in real terms. “It’s only natural for parents to question why colleges are raising their prices yet again, while the rest of our economy is inflation-free,” said James Boyle, president of the group College Parents of America.

Monday/ Wednesday/Friday Beginning at 7:00 am
Facing Taliban threats and approaching winter snows, Afghan election officials must now scramble to organize a runoff presidential election Nov. 7 after a grim President Hamid Karzai bowed to intense U.S. pressure and acknowledged Tuesday that he fell short of a majority. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said it will be a “huge challenge” to pull off new balloting without repeating the widespread fraud that caused U.N.-backed investigators to strip Karzai of nearly a third of his votes from the Aug. 20 firstround election. Although Karzai’s capitulation was a relief to American officials and averted a constitutional crisis, new balloting carries with it the risk of low turnout or another round of wholesale

ballot-stuffing and voter intimidation. Another failed election would bring the Obama administration no closer to its goal of a credible, legitimate Afghan government necessary to win public support in the U.S. for the war and reverse the Taliban rise. If the election goes relatively well, it’s unclear that a secondround win by Karzai, widely considered the favorite over former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah, would erase the stain brought on his leadership by widespread fraud in the first balloting Aug. 20. Karzai, standing alongside Sen. John Kerry and U.N. mission chief Kai Eide, said he welcomed the runoff. He called the decision to hold a second round “legitimate, legal and according to the constitution of Afghanistan.” “We believe it will strengthen the process of democratization in Afghanistan,” he said. “It’s going to be a historic period.”

In mass trial, academic is sentenced for role in election unrest The Associated Press
around the world
TEHRAN, Iran
Iran ignored appeals by Hillary Rodham Clinton and even rock star Sting and sentenced an Iranian-American academic to 12 years in prison Tuesday for his alleged role in anti-government protests after the country’s disputed presidential election. The sentence for Kian Tajbakhsh was the longest prison term yet in a mass trial of more than 100 opposition figures, activists and journalists in the postelection turmoil. At the same time, Iran allowed another defendant to leave the country — CanadianIranian Maziar Bahari, a Newsweek journalist arrested in the same crackdown who had been freed on bail during the weekend. Bahari joined his British wife, who is in the last days of her pregnancy, in London, Newsweek reported on its Web site Tuesday. It was the first word that Bahari had left Iran. The circumstances of his return to London were not immediately known, but it is unlikely he could have left without the consent of Iranian authorities. Newsweek refused further comment, and Iranian officials could not be reached for explanation.
Vatican seeks to lure disaffected Anglicans VATICAN CITY
The Vatican announced Tuesday that it was making it easier for Anglicans to convert to Roman Catholicism — a surprise move designed to entice traditionalists opposed to female priests, openly gay clergy and the blessing of samesex unions. The decision, reached in secret by a small cadre of Vatican officials, was sure to add to the problems of the 77-million-strong Anglican Communion as it seeks to deal with deep doctrinal divisions that threaten a permanent schism among its faithful. The change means conservative Anglicans from around the world will be able to join the
Catholic Church while retaining aspects of their Anglican liturgy and identity, including married priests. Until now, disaffected Anglicans had joined the church primarily on a caseby-case basis. The spiritual leader of the global Anglican church, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, was not consulted about the change and was informed only hours before the announcement. He nevertheless tried to downplay the significance and said it wasn’t a Vatican commentary on Anglican problems.
Pakistani university blasts kill 4, wound 18 Tuesday ISLAMABAD, Pakistan
Suicide bombers attacked an Islamic university popular with foreigners in Pakistan’s capital Tuesday, killing four students in apparent retaliation for an escalating army offensive on a Taliban and al-Qaida stronghold near the Afghan border. An Associated Press reporter close to the battle zone in South Waziristan met a group of Taliban fighters who challenged army claims of progress in the four-day assault, saying they had pushed soldiers back from the strategic town of Kotkai. Intelligence officials also said the army had been repelled from the town after being close to taking it. They asked that their names not be used for operational reasons. The suicide bombers hit a faculty building and a women’s cafeteria at the International Islamic University, where nearly half the students are women and hundreds are foreigners.
US report details lapses in deadly Iraq shooting BAGHDAD
The soldier at the center of the military’s worst soldier-onsoldier violence in six years had gone to four counseling sessions. His rifle had been disabled out of fear for his safety. He’d even asked military police
to take him into custody, saying “I’m done.” Despite these warnings, a military investigation found he still managed to steal an automatic weapon and kill five people at a base counseling center. A report from the investigation concluded that while the soldier had received assistance, there were key lapses in how the military monitored him and how authorities responded once the shooting began at Camp Liberty, a sprawling base on the edge of Baghdad. Sgt. John M. Russell, 44, who was taken into custody and faces five murder counts, is the only person charged in the shootings. The incident has highlighted the issue of combat stress as troops increasingly serve multiple combat tours because the nation’s volunteer army is stretched thin by two long-running wars.

Swiss court detains Polanski, rejects bail GENEVA
Roman Polanski’s three decades as a fugitive are coming back to haunt him. Noting his previous escape from U.S. authorities, Switzerland’s top criminal court on Tuesday rejected Polanski’s appeal to be released from prison because of the “high” risk that the 76-year-old director would try to flee again. Polanski’s offers of bail, house arrest and electronic monitoring failed to sway the tribunal. Even a Swiss chalet in the luxury resort of Gstaad was brushed aside as insufficient collateral to guard against Polanski fleeing the country, as the United States seeks to have him extradited for having sex with a 13-yearold girl in 1977. “The appellant has already once in 1978 eluded American criminal proceedings by traveling to Europe,” the Federal Criminal Court said in its 17-page verdict, adding that Polanski’s transfer to the U.S. could also cause family trauma and cost investors millions of dollars in losses. “As a result, the motivation to flee is high,” it said.

Nuggets topple T-wolves The Associated Press
DENVER
Carmelo Anthony had 24 points, and Arron Afflalo added 20 to lead the Denver Nuggets to a 129-100 preseason win against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night. Kenyon Martin had 11 points Tuesday’s game: and seven Nuggets 129 rebounds for Timberwolves the Nuggets, 100 who had seven players score in double figures. Corey Brewer led the Timberwolves with 23 points, Ryan Gomes had 16 and rookie Jonny Flynn scored 13. Anthony, who played only 23 minutes against Minnesota, is averaging a point per minute in the preseason. The Nuggets (3-3) used a big second quarter to pull away in their first preseason home game against an NBA team. Afflalo and Renaldo Balkman came off the bench in the period to score 10 points each, sparking Denver’s 38-19 run that produced a 69-47 halftime lead. Denver stretched its advantage to 97-74 heading into the fourth when rookie point guard Ty Lawson hit a running 45-foot bank shot at the buzzer. The Timberwolves (1-5) played without center Al Jeff erson, who is bothered by a sore Achilles’ tendon. He sat out the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game against Milwaukee. Minnesota also was without big man Kevin Love, who will be sidelined six to eight weeks with a broken left hand. The Nuggets trailed by nine midway through the first quarter before rallying to take a 28-26 on Anthony’s three-point play. After Ryan Hollins tied it with a putback, J.R. Smith hit a 3-pointer with 0.3 seconds left in the quarter to give Denver the lead for good. Denver’s only other home preseason game was a 102-70 win against Partizan Belgrade on Oct. 3.

Yankees on the brink
Rodriguez-led victory leaves team 1 game from World Series Greg Beacham The Associated Press
ANAHEIM, Calif.
We each have over 20 years experience offering the most advanced and comprehensive manual care available.
Alex Rodriguez has done something remarkable in every game of his charmed October. CC Sabathia is settling for every time he takes the mound. Together, they’ve got the New York Yankees within one game of a return to the World Series. Rodriguez homered in the third straight game of his outstanding postseason, Sabathia pitched eight resilient innings of five-hit ball on short rest, and the Yankees beat the Los Angeles Angels, 10-1, on Tuesday night to take a 3-1 lead in the American League championship series. Rodriguez had three hits and scored three runs, while Melky Cabrera drove in four runs for the Yankees, who have built a commanding cushion in this wild series with power and pitching. One day after the Angels handed New York its first playoff loss in an extra-inning thriller, the Yankees calmly asserted control with two early rallies before piling on five runs late. Johnny Damon added a late two-run homer for the Yankees, who could sew up their first trip to the World Series in six years with a win in Game 5 on Thursday night at Angel Stadium. New York’s A.J. Burnett faces Angels ace John Lackey.

Most years, the Denver Broncos couldn’t scramble out of the doors fast enough for a little rest and relaxation on their bye week. That’s hardly the case this season. The NFL’s most surprising team at 6-0, the Broncos are hesitant to put football on the back burner for a weekend, lest they lose their edge. They’d prefer to keep their foot on the gas after a convincing 34-23 win against San Diego on Monday night. Why would they want to get away from this? The bye almost comes at an inconvenient time for the Broncos, who are quite mindful of keeping their momentum after building a 3 1/2-game lead against the Chargers in the AFC West. “We’re going to stay on our P’s and Q’s and the time that we have off, we are going to use it correctly and come back ready to play,” linebacker D.J.

New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez beats the tag from Los Angeles Angels catcher Mike Napoli in the fourth inning during Game 4 of their ALCS game at Angels Stadium in Anaheim, Calif., on Tuesday. The Yankees beat the Angels, 10-1.
With a two-run homer over the left-field fence that silenced an excited Anaheim crowd in the fifth, Rodriguez drove in a run in his eighth straight postseason game, tying the major league record. It was his fifth homer in New York’s seven postseason games, matching Reggie Jackson’s iconic 1977
nfl Williams said. Not all that long ago, the Broncos were viewed as nothing more than an entertaining soap opera as new coach Josh McDaniels kicked off his tenure by quarreling with his Pro Bowl quarterback Jay Cutler, leading to a trade that sent Cutler to Chicago. That was followed by a suspension of talented receiver Brandon Marshall for insubordination in training camp. But all those episodes are now a fading memory as the Broncos move to 6-0 for the fifth time in franchise history. They have a highly efficient quarterback in Kyle Orton, a top-ranked defense fueled by veteran Brian Dawkins and the emergence of a special teams threat in Eddie Royal, who returned a punt and kickoff for touchdowns at San Diego. This team is clicking. As for complacency creeping in with
effort for the second-most homers in a single playoff year for the Yankees. Bernie Williams holds the New York record with six homers in 1996, but that mark seems ripe to be toppled by A-Rod in the first phenomenal postseason for a superstar who mostly sputtered in October until now.
a week off, the Broncos don’t think that will be the case. “We understand that we have a long way to go,” Orton said. “We’ve got to continue to work hard.” Those retro uniforms with the funky socks the Broncos have been donning in recent weeks are becoming apropos. Under McDaniels, this is almost like a throwback team, one willing to roll up their sleeves and get to work. It’s a concept McDaniels ingrained in the heat of training camp when he put the players through practices in full pads a majority of the time. The approach set the groundwork for physical play, something the defense has definitely adopted. With defensive coordinator Mike Nolan leading the resurgence, the Broncos have transformed into a top-notch defensive squad, allowing a leaguelow 11 points a game. That after so many seasons in such disarray, blowing through one defensive coordinator after another.

New rules, approach for Ligety down in slalom. Since the American is a slalom and GS specialist, the new format doesn’t favor him as much. “I wouldn’t say my main focus in the Olympics is trying to defend that,” Ligety said in a recent interview. “Giant slalom and slalom, especially the giant slalom, is definitely my best chance at a medal, so that’s going to be my main focus.” Since his combined gold in Turin, Ligety’s best results
Sailors now focusing on Moffat County Soccer continued from 33 attack. It paid off in the seventh minute. Tony Rende, after spending most of the season trying to recover from mononucleosis, found the ball on his foot and slipped it inside the post for a 1-0 Steamboat lead. “It was huge,” Rende said. “Especially for me. Three times the ball came to me, and my touch was horrible. It allowed us to play our own game instead of theirs.” The early lead helped Steamboat relax without letting up. The Sailors continued their attack through much of the first half, getting chances in the 17th minute on an Enrique Lopez run up the right side and in the 39th minute when Eagle Valley goalkeeper Mario Gonzalez turned away a Grant Murray opportunity on a corner kick. Meanwhile, Eagle Valley — and more specifically, its play-
maker Marco Escobar — found little room inside the attacking box. With minimal space to work, the Devils had to settle for long distance shots, which made a relatively easy day for Sailors keeper Connor Birch. The Devils had to sub multiple times as the game went on. The swine flu recently hit the school, and a majority of Eagle Valley’s team was feeling the effects. “We didn’t have that snap to get to the ball,” Devils coach Jason Rittmiller said. “Things were a little more difficult. I would rather get the first goal. But we responded and were coming back and looking better. But as the game wore on, our guys were wore out.” Eagle Valley’s Gonzalo Gom ez almost got the equalizer in the 41st minute, but his shot to the right post was batted away by a diving Birch. That would be Eagle Valley’s last good chance at a goal. Steamboat, however, didn’t sit
back. Playing as well as they have all season, the Sailors put the game away in the 69th minute. On a perfect set play, Sam Glaisher sent a ball from just inside midfield into the box. Lopez headed it back to a trailing Andrew White, who put it inside the post for a 2-0 Steamboat lead. Although Steamboat will root for Eagle Valley on Thursday, the team knows the focus has to remain on a young but dangerous Moffat County team. In the final game last season, Steamboat went to Moffat and lost in an upset. “Moffat’s a good team,” Bohlmann said. “They’re young but good. They have a lot of confidence remembering last year. They have a lot of confidence from that standpoint. We have to play hard, play simple and get the job done.”

Ted Ligety isn’t preoccupied with defending his Olympic combined title in Vancouver in February. That’s understandable, since the traditional combined event doesn’t exist anymore, having been replaced with the supercombi. Instead of an event combining one downhill run with two slalom legs, the super-combi consists of one downhill or super-G run with just one trip

He has four race victories on the World Cup circuit — each in giant slalom. Ligety will be among the favorites when the World Cup season opens with a GS in Soelden, Austria, this weekend.

Overboard ® Chip Dunham
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Jeremy Miller, 33; Carrie Fisher, 53; Benjamin Netanyahu, 60; Judge Judy Sheindlin, 67 Happy Birthday: Love, life and happiness will be your goal this year. Take what you have and to make it work better for you. It's a time to get your priorities straight. You've procrastinated enough. It's time to take action. You can turn any negative in your life into a positive by being strong and making it happen. Your numbers are 8, 12, 14, 23, 25, 31, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): A partnership will develop. Communicate openly and honestly and you will get the same in return. A strong bond will lead to a major change in your life or your present location. Make your choices enthusiastically and without hesitation.
★★★★★
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You have too much on the line to wait for things and people to come to you. Take charge in order to establish your plans for the future. Someone you used to know will help you out professionally now. Don't hesitate to make the first move. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don't bring emotions into the mix. It only stands to reason that if you do something you love, you will do well. Focus on your ability to communicate and put things together for maximum results. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Before you make a move, be sure the people you care about most are in agreement. A job that entails your traveling a distance is heading your way. Look closely before you turn something down that offers a bright future and greater stability. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Socializing, pleasure trips or doing something different with the person you love most will all lead to better companionship and interesting ideas for moneymaking opportunities. Take the initiative. You will attract a lot of attention and develop personal and professional partnerships.
★★★★★
thing that needs fixing. Use your imagination. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don't give in to someone pressing you to change your ideals or your beliefs. Stand your ground. A creative idea will turn into a trendy venture leading to more money and a lot of fun. Steer clear of negative people.
★★★★
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Procrastination has to stop. Thinking about something or reworking something over and over again will lead nowhere. Action is required. The suggestions offered are probably not in your best interest. Believe in yourself. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You'll be prone to making sudden, unorthodox changes that will confuse the people trying to decipher what you need and want. Stick to your plans or at least let the people affected by your decisions know what you are doing. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You'll have trouble finishing what you start. Expect to face opposition and challenges. Avoid travel when you can communicate just as easily using modern technology. A new slant to an old goal will be lucrative and satisfying. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The important things in life must be taken care of if you want to find peace of mind and a direction that suits you. Personal papers, your health or legal matters should be dealt with immediately. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A very private but stimulating partnership is apparent. Socializing with people who share your interests can lead to a new position. Before you travel, make sure you can afford the trip. ★★ Birthday Baby: You are intellectual and entertaining, a peacemaker and a passionate, endearing individual. You are receptive to new ideas.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have to be cautious when dealing with emotional matters. Someone isn't likely to share his or her true feelings. Uncertainty isn't a bad thing if it draws attention to some-

Council to annex Steamboat 700?” Some say Steamboat 700 would give the city a smart place to grow, provide affordable housing and help pay for needed city improvements; others say the annexation is too large, is happening too fast and does not adequately address impacts to the city’s water supplies, traffic and more. Petitioners must collect at least 829 signatures to trigger the referendum process, but Rawlings said he expects to gather thousands. The committee has until Nov. 12 to turn in the necessary number of signatures and also will be afforded a “cure period” to fix any problems with its petition. If the petitioners succeed, the City Council will first have the opportunity to repeal the annexation. If it doesn’t repeal it, the question will go to voters in a special election likely to be held in January or February. It would be an all-mail election, like the Nov. 3 vote. As required by the annexation agreement, Steamboat 700 would pay for the election.
