Cyclists compete in the Sept. 7 Steamboat Ski & Bike Kare Criterium event, which was the final event in the inaugural four-day Steamboat Springs Stage Race. Some say the Stage Race, along with new races and additional biking trails, could boost Steamboat’s image as a cycling destination.

A coordinated local effort is afoot to make Steamboat Springs a major cycling destination and promote a form of tourism that many locals might be more enthusiastic about, as well. Data and anecdotes from other mountain towns suggest the economic impact of such efforts could be substantial. This year saw the birth of the inaugural Steamboat Springs

Springs Winter Sports Club mountain biking program. Next year, Steamboat is likely to host a Lance Armstrong Foundation LIVESTRONG mountain biking event, and local cycling groups and Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. may build new trails for freeride mountain biking. Freeriding is a relatively new form of mountain biking that combines downhill riding with features such as jumps, drops, elevated wooden plank bridges, rock features, teeter-totters and more.
“What’s really exciting here is the ski area has been really excited about these ideas,” said Robin Craigen, president of the Routt County Riders cycling club. “We’re really hoping that the first (freeride) trail could begin construction in the spring when the snow is gone.” If that happens, the new trails could open when the gondola starts running for the 2010 summer season.

What: Celebration of the Lowell Whiteman School’s new boys dormitory When: 12:20 to 1:10 p.m. today Where: Lowell Whiteman School, 22605 Routt County Road 36
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS
The new boys dormitory at Lowell Whiteman School won’t be complete until May, but that didn’t stop school officials from planning an event to celebrate it. The ceremony, which isfrom 12:20 to 1:10 p.m. today, is a belated groundbreaking, said Walt Daub, director of the school. He said the students and faculty were away for summer break when the school broke ground on the 6,000-square-foot dorm in July. Daub said today’s event would allow the local and outof-town students and their families — it’s parents weekend at Whiteman — a chance to see the progress of the dorm’s construction. He said the school’s Board of Trustees also would be in town for a meeting Saturday. “It’s a celebration about the
building,” Daub said. “And thanks for very significant capital investments our supporters have made over the years.” The $1.5 million dorm is part of a $2.3 million investment as part of the school’s Building on the Experience campaign, its campus master plan. A majority of the additional investment, $500,000, was dedicated to adding infrastructure at the campus. The remainder went toward expenses related to the campus master plan. Daub said the master plan was a 10-year plan with a See Whiteman, page 14

sons, Weinland said. Steamboat Springs Post master Tim O’Brien is out of town for the week for a training session. Interim Postmaster Carol Lobello is filling his role. She confirmed Thursday that postal employees are returning undeliverable ballots to the county, but she declined to comment further. Weinland acknowledged that the mail-only election is revealing some addresses that have long been out of date. On Thursday, a man came into the Elections Office and discovered that his address had not been updated for five years, Weinland said. The man could have voted at physical polling locations in previous elections, Weinland said, without updating his address. That is not the case with mail-only ballots. “We’re getting our registration rolls cleaned up,” Weinland said. She said her office can mail ballots through Tuesday. Voters who need to update their addresses or request a replacement ballot can find those forms at www.SteamboatPilot. com/Election2009. Voters can fax completed forms to the Elections Office at 970-8705443, Weinland said, and her

Key dates and notes ■ 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 a ballot and think you should have, call the Routt County Elections Office at 970-870-5558. ■ Tuesday, Oct. 27, is the last day to request a ballot be mailed to you. ■ 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 Thursday, Oct. 29. ■ Voters will receive ballots specific to where they live. For example, South Routt residents won’t receive ballots because there are no contested school board races or city elections there. ■ Voters who have any questions about the mail-in ballot process should call the Elections Office at 870-5558. ■ Electronic voting is available for disabled voters or any voter who chooses to vote electronically, at the Elections Office on the third floor of the Routt County Courthouse.

A week after ballots began arriving in mailboxes, only about 5 percent of Routt County voters have returned a completed ballot for this year’s election. Routt County Clerk and Recorder Kay Weinland said that as of Wednesday afternoon, her office had received only 682 of the 13,440 ballots sent to voters in Routt County’s first mailonly election. Signatures on those ballots have been verified, and the ballots have been scanned into the voter registration system, Weinland said. “We’ve had a few signatures that didn’t match,” Weinland said. Elections supervisor Vicki Weber has said her staff is contacting voters with ballots that have unverified signatures. Weinland said local U.S. Postal Service branches returned 1,022 ballots to the county as “undeliverable.” Postal employees were not able to send those ballots to voters because of problems including out-of-date addresses or addresses that didn’t match the voter. The Postal Service cannot forward ballots because of security rea-

COMMENTARY
Do you have something to say about a story we’ve written?
The grating communicator Ann Coulter UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE
The Obama administration has attacked Fox News in order to prevent government corruption stories broken on Fox from bleeding into the other media, which are all-consumed with daily updates on Levi Johnston’s Playgirl spread and Carrie Prejean’s breast implants. That’s understandable. But I think the administration should have picked someone other than David Axelrod to deliver the claim Coulter that Fox News is “not really news,” inasmuch as Axelrod was behind the leak of scurrilous allegations in Jack Ryan’s sealed divorce papers when he was running for a Senate seat against Barack Obama. Talk about vicious personal gossip. Now that Fox has been branded an
untouchable, the teacher’s-pet media are jubilant. In Newsweek, Jacob Weisberg wrote a column saying liberals should refuse to appear on Fox News, pointedly concluding, “And no, I don’t want to come on ‘The O’Reilly Factor’ to discuss it.” Considering that Weisberg is a 107-pound weasel with a speech impediment, this is on the order of Weisberg’s announcing that he’s not interested in appearing in the next “Ocean’s Eleven” movie with George Clooney. The strangest thing about all the invective against Fox is that it is happening in a world that contains MSNBC. At least Fox News primetime hosts, and many of their guests, know something about politics. MSNBC’s primetime lineup presents an array of people who sound like earnest college kids who just walked up to a Common Cause table, and the sum-total of what they know about politics is what they read in the brochures.
In the past week, Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann have rolled out the Willie Horton ad, claiming that it marked the beginning of vicious personal attacks in politics, as opposed to what it was: The most devastatingly relevant campaign commercial in all of American history. You always can astonish college kids by telling them the true story of Willie Horton. Among the jaw-dropping facts are: ■ In the ’80s, the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that a prison furlough policy had to be extended to convicted murderers, who were ineligible for parole. ■ Even the Massachusetts Legislature, which contained about three Republicans, realized this was insane and quickly passed a bill excluding first-degree murderers from the weekend furlough program. But in a desperate bid for the ACLU’s Brain-Dead Liberal of the Year See Coulter, page 9
Desperate times call for desperate measures Maureen Dowd
THE NEW YORK TIMES
WASHINGTON
Can vice save journalism? It’s an intriguing idea, especially because the profession had such a cozy relationship with vice in the old days. Arthur Gelb, The Times’ famed former culture impresario and managing editor, begins his wonderful memoir, “City Room,” by describing the racier Times newsroom of the 1940s. He says it was a time of clandestine sex in closets, a movie-star Dowd mistress of the publisher sashaying about and two tough bookies at a desk taking bets as “wads of bills peeked from their pockets.” In his memoir, “Gaily, Gaily,” Ben Hecht describes his years as a cub reporter at The Chicago Daily Journal starting
MALLARD FILLMORE
in 1910. It was a time when reporters still were “exotic adults,” he writes, and journalism was considered by many as “a catch basin for hooligans, bar flies and minor swindlers.” The first thing Hecht did was get his girlfriend, who was “in harlot servitude” when they met, hired as the “first girl reporter” at the paper for $12 a week by pretending she was a Van Arsdale. When she got caught selling her services in the newsroom, Hecht’s cynical Irish editor advised him that reforming women was a time-waster. “The female, from birth onward, is a mist of lies,” the editor intoned. “And her white belly is a shrine for swindle and delusion.” The next thing Hecht did was plot with his colleague Charles MacArthur — they would later write “The Front Page” — to revive a hanged criminal with a shot of adrenaline and then charge newspaper editors around the country $50 each for the “exclusive” on the “Walking Corpse.”
In these times when big-city papers and magazines are disappearing and shrinking, we need life rafts. Publications once buoyed by splashy ads evoking drinking and sex are now conjuring ways to use drinking and sex to subsidize the news. The New York Times, USA Today and The Wall Street Journal have wine clubs.

community first I have an Agenda.
Understandable Keith will make mistakes nent American economist and philosopher, Thomas Sowell. The bloggers and Keith bring different skill sets to the game. They provide the tendentious half-truths, phony opinion polls and spurious social science, while Keith provides his booming baritone, gigantic “Guys and Dolls” suits and gift for ridiculous, fustian grandiloquence. But here’s the fly in the ointment: Keith has once again been victimized by left-wing blogs into thinking that the 1988 Bush ad showed Willie Horton’s picture, when in fact, Horton’s race was deliberately scrubbed from the ad. Again, in fairness to Keith, he’s never been a “content guy.” He was a communications major. He lifts the material for his show from liberal blogs, overwrites it and throws in his trademark smirking and snorts. But that’s all he does because, again, he was a communications major.
Owner: Newspapers are critical for dialogue Dowd continued from 8 and the willingness on the part of the government to confront gambling and casino interests that have blocked this,” he said. “Newspaper owners have never gotten together to lobby for this because they have always been quite profitable. Those days are behind us.” I tracked down Zuckerman in Jerusalem on Tuesday. “Newspapers are so critical for public dialogue and holding public officials responsible,” he told me. “And who’s going to be able to afford original reporting in the next five years? Very, very few.” He said some British newspapers make millions on betting games like bingo. “People are
spending money on what is basically a social vice anyhow,” he said. “So why not use it to preserve the First Amendment? It’s not a perfect solution, but it is a solution.” Nick Pileggi, who wrote the books and screenplays for “Goodfellas” and “Casino,” sees no downside. “It would be a wonderful, huge blow against organized crime because the money would be taken out of what the mob gets,” he said. “And every state has a lottery so nobody from the state is going to stand up and say ‘We’re against gambling.’” He said that if newspapers would stop being so stuffy, they could set up ATM-style machines in lobbies and at news-
stands and “take over a business that the mob now does illegally worth $20 (billion) to $40 billion a year.” “Newspapers are not sacred papal offices,” he said. “It’s a Damon Runyon business.” Arthur Gelb may have written about the Runyon days fondly, but he disputes the virtue of vice. “How about you get some Vegas showgirls to come to the newsroom, do a little performance and charge admission?” he said, bristling. “Or you could have an escort service. Just take away the managing editor’s office and use it for assignations. Where do you stop this nonsense?” I don’t know. The Vegas part doesn’t sound so bad.

Award, Gov. Michael Dukakis vetoed the bill. ■ Horton, who was later released under this program, was in prison for carving up a teenager at a gas station and then stuffing his body into a garbage can. ■ Even after Horton used his Dukakis-granted furlough to rape and torture a Maryland couple in their home for 12 straight hours, the Greek homunculus issued a statement reaffirming his strong support for furloughing murderers. ■ The Bush campaign commercial about Dukakis’ furlough program never showed a picture of Horton. In fact, the actors playing “criminals” passing through a revolving door in the ad all were white. ■ Voters considered it relevant that a candidate for president was so beholden to the ACLU
that he backed an idiotic furlough program that released firstdegree murderers. Every informed student of the 1988 campaign knows that the Bush ad didn’t show Horton’s picture. And yet in Keith’s discussion of Bush’s allegedly vile, racist use of Willie Horton, he used a phony version of the ad, doctored to include a photo of Horton. I don’t blame Keith personally for this blatant distortion: He gets all his research material from Markos Moulitsas and other left-wing bloggers, so he can’t be held responsible for the content of his show. Remember that Keith, majored in “communications” in college, not a research-related field, such as political science. Given this background, it’s understandable that Keith will make errors. As viewers witnessed recently, he can’t even pronounce the name of promi-

The Oak Creek Town Board agreed to start the annexation process on a nearly 2-acre parcel as it approved a conceptual review for the Allegheny Gypsum project Thursday night. The plan for the land, owned by investors in Pennsylvania, is to build two triplexes on the lot. The acreage is at the top of Grandview Avenue. Erik Steinberg, the local representative for the project, told the Town Board that the project was slowed by the economic downturn but that because the project is small and designed to be attainable housing, it would still be viable. “We need to bring some new energy and new housing, we’re trying to bring young families in here … there is a market for that,” he said. After questioning from Mayor J. Elliott, Steinberg said he defined attainable housing as something that a couple could afford by setting aside 20 to 25 percent of their monthly income for housing. He said he did not want to place deed restrictions on the properties because of the inflexibility it creates for young families, who Steinberg said would be the ideal occupants. Steinberg said he was reluctant to estimate how much the two-story units will cost, but he said the ideal cost would be $179,000 for each of the twobedroom, two-bathroom units. The next step in the process is for the town attorney to draft a resolution to accept the conceptual plan and for the Allegheny Gypsum representatives to meet with the Planning Commission to work out the details of the annexation. Town Clerk Karen Halterman said she does not expect anything regarding the project to be on the agenda for the November meeting, but she said she would

HAYDEN
There’s an interesting wrinkle to this year’s Hayden School Board race: Four candidates are vying for two seats. The candidates, all longtime Hayden residents, can’t remember when there was this much interest in the School Board. Neither can board member Kurt Frentress, who’s served since 1995. Tim Frentress and Darren Zehner are vying for the District A seat being vacated by Patty Bruchez. Bruchez, who had spent the past eight years on the board, is not seeking re-election. And Laurie Hallenbeck is challenging incumbent Vance Fulton for the District B seat. Board President Brian Hoza, who represents District E, is seeking election for the third time. He and Kurt Frentress, who represents District C, are running unopposed. Kurt Frentress said he was surprised by the interest for the School Board, which he called a “pretty thankless job” that normally doesn’t generate much fanfare. Frentress said he suspected the races were contested because the community is concerned about how things are operating within the district. He said when times are good, people don’t show as much inter-

Safety key in burning brush FOR THE STEAMBOAT TODAY
The leaves are falling, and the days are getting cool. After a summer of cutting beetle trees, many landowners are getting anxious about getting their brush piles burned. This article covers some basic information that will help you burn your brush or slash safely. The term “brush” is often used interchangeably with “slash.” Slash can be defined as the branches, tops and other woody material left behind after logging and other forest treatments. There are two goals to keep in mind when burning your brush pile: burn the pile safely, and burn the pile as completely and efficiently as possible. Perhaps the most important safety tip is to wait to burn your pile until there is adequate snow cover (recommended minimum of 4 to 6 inches) and when the snow is likely to stay around. This will minimize the chance of the fire escaping. Locate your pile in an opening, away from trees and brush. Wear fire-
resistant clothing, and have a safety plan in case something goes wrong. The size and composition of your pile is important. You would like the pile to be as high as it is wide, if possible. It is important to keep nonvegetative materials out of the pile. Dirt, in particular, can really affect how a pile burns. Propane weed burners are an efficient and generally safe way to ignite piles. Never use gasoline. It is always a good idea to light a small portion of the pile as a test burn to see if the pile will burn well and the smoke will disperse. Try to light the pile on all sides, starting downwind and working your way upwind. Managing the smoke from your burn is an important and often overlooked concern. It is just good manners to make sure you don’t smoke out your neighbors or cause a safety concern on nearby roads. Check the weather before you burn to ensure good smoke
dispersal. Snowstorms provide good dispersal, for example. Midmorning is usually a good time to light piles because the morning inversion is starting to lift. Re-pile the unburned fuels when the fire has cooled enough to allow you to do so; this will help avoid lingering smoke and make for a cleaner burn. Contact your fire district to find out about permit requirements for your fire. In some cases, a fire permit and a smoke permit are required. Agricultural burns generally are considered exempt from these requirements, but you should always make a courtesy call to Routt County Dispatch at 879-1110 before you burn. It is also recommended to rehabilitate the burn area the season after your burn. The burn will typically sterilize an area of the soil, making it susceptible to weeds. The soil in and around the burn should be stirred to reinoculate the soil with helpful micro-flora and fauna. Complete the rehabilitation by seeding the area with a native grass seed mix.

25-year vision. The completion of the dorm will represent the conclusion of the master plan’s first phase, he said. The second phase, which Daub said he hoped would begin soon, will be an academic center including classrooms, a larger theater and social spaces. Other projects also have been mapped out as part of the master plan, Daub said. The new dorm, which will include space for 20 boys, will replace a 1940s-era bunkhouse. Ewers Architecture, of Golden, designed the building, and TCD, of Steamboat Springs, is the general contractor. According to a news release, the building’s interior will use local beetle-killed pine. Other environmentally sustainable
measures include LED lighting, low-flow water fixtures and onsite water collection and sewage treatment. Students will occupy the new dorm starting next fall. The bunkhouse will be torn down as part of the project. Because the school provides boarding for the Rocky Mountain Summer Conservatory, Daub said the bunkhouse wouldn’t come down next summer, but sometime in the next year. Today’s event will include a luncheon and remarks from Nick Rose, co-chairman of the Building on the Experience campaign, and Nancy Ventrudo, chairwoman of the Whiteman Board of Trustees. The ceremony also will include branding a handrail
from the existing bunkhouse, which will become part of the new dorm. Lowell Whiteman owned the “9” brand and used it on horses at his camp for boys before it transitioned to a coed school in 1957. Lane Malone, the school’s director of advancement, said moving the branded railing from the bunkhouse to the new dorm was a way to honor “the history of the building and importance it had for so many young men.” Daub also will speak at the ceremony. “This is an indication of our commitment to and our progress toward our vision for the campus both in the near future and long term,” Daub said. “It’s a step in providing our students residential learning, recreational and social spaces we want our students to have.”

DA gives information about ex-detective Collin Smith
CRAIG DAILY PRESS
CRAIG
For the 14th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, the time digging through old case files since former Craig Police Detective Ken Johnson’s arrest has been incalculable, officials said. “I wouldn’t even know how to
give a number,” District Attorney Elizabeth Oldham said. “It’s been an arduous process, but we’re trying to provide all the information to anyone who may need it.” Johnson was arrested in late September and then charged Oct. 2 with three felonies: attempting to influence a public servant, a Class 4 felony; accessory to crime, a Class 5 felony; and embezzle-
ment of public property, also a Class 5 felony. Before his arrest, however, Johnson worked closely with the District Attorney’s Office on several felony cases as an officer. Since charges were filed against the former detective, Oldham has directed her staff to provide accounts of the evidence against Johnson to every defendant
Johnson filed a report against or assisted in investigating since October 2007. “We’re taking cases from Oc tober 2007 on because that is when it seems possible (Johnson’s) criminal behavior began,” Deputy District Attorney Jeremy Snow said, referring to when Johnson is accused of being involved with Tausha Merwin’s kidnapping.
Official: Counting scanned votes could begin Monday Ballots continued from 6 completed, original forms with their mailed ballot, Weinland said. Voters also can stop by the Elections Office on the third floor of the Routt County Courthouse, between Fifth and Sixth streets on Lincoln Avenue in downtown Steamboat Springs. That office is closed Friday but is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday to Thursday, through the Nov. 3 election.
Weinland said the office also will be open during those hours Oct. 30. Voters can get a replacement ballot and vote at the Elections Office until 7 p.m. on Election Day. The office can be reached by phone at 970-870-5558. Weinland said the 682 returned ballots do not include ballots placed in drop-boxes in Hayden, Oak Creek or Yampa. The figure includes ballots dropped off at her office and at the Clark Store in North
Routt County. “We will pick them up first thing Monday morning from Hayden,” she said. Her staff might wait a few more days to check the two South Routt County boxes, Weinland said, because South Routt voters have nothing to vote on this year and are not receiving ballots. Weinland said elections staff have not begun to count votes scanned into the system. That process could start Monday, she
said, depending on the number of votes received. She encouraged voters to not procrastinate and to send in their ballots as soon as possible to help the Elections Office avoid a last-minute rush. Weinland said she expects the number of completed ballots to pick up soon. “We got a good stack in the mail today,” Weinland said Thursday. “I expect that we’ll get a large volume back next week.”

Contributions continued from 3 Adams, son of Bob Adams — the namesake of the airfield and Bob Adams Drive at Colorado Mountain College — contributed $1,000 to Bennett’s campaign. “I think (Bennett) is somebody that is passionate about the wellbeing of our community, and I think that has been proven by his past performance as a council member,” Adams said this month. In the race for City Council’s District 2 seat, Solomon received $30, or 1 percent of contributions, from outside the county. His opponent, Kenny Reisman, received $1,475 — 68 percent of his contributions — from outside Routt. “My base support is young families who are trying to figure out every day where they’re going to make the next (bill) payment,” Reisman said, adding that although he has the “emotional support” of his base, “it’s really difficult for me to ask those people for their financial support, as well.” Reisman said many of his nonlocal contributions are from family members. Solomon said he has garnered small donations in tough economic times. “If you look at my numbers, you see that most of my contributions have been small and from local people,” he said. In the race for the at-large seat,

Engelken received $300, or 15 percent of his contributions, from outside county lines. His opponent, Kyle Pietras, received $250 from outside Routt out of the $559 contributed, or 45 percent. Pietras gave his campaign about $1,250. Engelken gave his campaign $200. Incumbent Walter Magill is running uncontested for the District 3 seat and received no contributions. Neither Brian Kelly nor Bill Kennedy received out-of-county dollars in their race for a Steamboat Springs School Board seat.
Business bucks Hermacinski acknowledged Thursday that she has been labeled as a candidate largely funded by the development community. The finance reports show
that she received at least $3,025 from contributors in local development, construction, real estate or related industries. Those contributions include a total of $850 from Scott and Tim Borden, of Borden Companies and Yampa Valley Bank; $250 from Mark Scully, of Green Courte Partners; a total of $400 from Tom and Sarah Fox, of Fox Construction; $100 from contractor Mark Halvorson; $75 from Realtor Ulrich Salzgeber; and more. Bennett received at least $550 from people in similar industries. Hermacinski said her contributions were in line with employment demographics of the community and come from longtime locals who build homes and create jobs. The next filing deadline is Oct. 30, for the Oct. 9 to 25 period.

Metro City orbits above an Earth buried in garbage. Its citizens are waited on hand and foot by robots, and things will get even better now that Toby’s dad (Nicolas Cage) has invented the unlimited Blue energy. But the warmonger president (Donald Sutherland) snatches the dangerous Red energy, Toby dies in an accident, his memories are transferred by his dad into the little robot Astro Boy, and so on. Bright and peppy, with a nice moral and, best of all, no 3-D. Rating: ★★★
‘Capitalism: A Love Story’ Documentary, R, 117 minutes’
Michael Moore’s latest doesn’t suggest a solution for our economy, and it’s a little disorganized, but it contains chilling explanations of “peasant insurance” and the Wall Street gambling known as “derivatives.” There also is awesome, long-forgotten footage of Franklin Roosevelt calling for a Second Bill of Rights. And first-person testimony from victims of the meltdown. Rating: ★★★★
‘Paranormal Activity’ Horror Thriller, R, 96 minutes
An ingenious little horror film, so well made it’s truly scary, that arrives claiming it’s the real thing. A young couple is bothered by a paranormal presence in their home, so the husband decides to leave a camera running while they sleep. A film that illustrates how silence and waiting can be more entertaining than frantic fast-cutting and berserk effects. Rating: ★★★★

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: ★★★

Along the way, incidentally, he was embezzling $9 million for his own use, a detail he neglected to share with the FBI.

Playing tracks from the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s by bluegrass pioneers such as Bill Monroe, the radio show was Lack’s intro duction to bluegrass music. It got him listening, endeared him to Monroe’s gravelly style, and started him playing the banjo. “I was not playing anything. I didn’t play anything until I was about 18, and in a monument to redneck-ness everywhere, the banjo was my first instrument,” Lack said in a phone interview. Recently, “Grassroots” has

What’s playing Film continued from 19 law-in-your-own-hands rabble rouser that taps into a lot of fears and genuine gripes about the American legal system. It’s the sort of movie Mel Gibson or Clint Eastwood might have made back in the day — a man survives the slaughter of his family by thugs and sets out to get even, and then some. Gerard Butler has the title role, Clyde Shelton, a “tinkerer” who is stabbed during a home invasion. Jamie Foxx is the politically ambitious Philadelphia prosecutor (Nick Rice) who lets one of the killers get off easy so the other will be executed. Nick is listening to his boss (Bruce McGill). “In this job, your best asset is a short memory.” But that’s not Clyde. Ten years later, when one of the killers finally is executed, his elaborate revenge begins. You would like to hope film-
makers, outside of the horror genre anyway, don’t start from a place of utter cynicism. But we know exactly what we’re dealing with in “Law Abiding Citizen.” It’s a “Who dies next?” slasher film masquerading as a revenge thriller. Rating: ★★
Bluegrass continued from 20 and vocals; and Kevin Larkin on mandolin, harmonica, accordion and vocals. Ferd Moyse, of the Charlottesville, Va., folk band The Hackensaw Boys, joins Mayhem on fiddle. In their four years playing as a group, the musicians of Mayhem String Band have tightened their playing, but they don’t have any interest in smoothing out the result to sound like Alison Krauss or other popular bluegrass artists. “That aspect of it is inherent in us. In the four or five guys who happen to be in this band, nobody wants to sound any different, we all kind of agree on that. It’s just how we all sound,” Lack said about keeping Mayhem’s rough edge. The band released its first
record, “Rapscallions and Ne’erdowells” in 2007 and put out its second album, “Land Pirates,” in March. Jimbo Mathus, of Delta Recording Services and the 1990s swing band Squirrel Nut Zippers, produced “Land Pirates.” For the Saturday show, Lack said to expect “a lot of mandolin and banjo picking and some pretty hot fiddling” in a set of original tunes that can tend get raucous by the end of the night. “Even if you don’t know that you like bluegrass music or you’re not really sure about it or you don’t know what it is, if you have a soul or a heart it’s going to have you tapping your foot just a little bit, at least,” he said. — To reach Margaret Hair, call 871-4204 or e-mail mhair@steamboatpilot.com

‘The Stepfather’ The best you can say about the remake of “The Stepfather,” that serial-killerin-mommy’s-bed tingler of 1987, is that it efficiently goes about its business. The suspense is there, but because there’s no mystery to this thriller, it’s all about how soon the teen (Penn Badgley) will figure out who that creep Mom wants to marry really is, who will believe him and who will have to die because they won’t listen to the kid.

On an episode of ABC’s “Wife Swap,” Mayumi Heene pounds her fists and shouts in frustration because she thinks her co-star isn’t paying enough attention to one of his sons. Off-camera, the mother of Colorado “balloon boy” Falcon Heene is a stoic, hardworking woman who is loyal to her fam ily and sometimes subservient to her husband, those who know her say. She now could face charges along with her husband in last week’s runaway balloon spec tacle, the latest twist in a 12-year marriage that has never been short on drama. Mayumi has been at her
husband’s side as they chased down tornadoes and hurricanes, looked for UFOs, launched rockets and pursued his dream of becoming a TV star. Friends say she emigrated from her native Japan — it’s not clear when — and met Richard at an acting school in Hollywood. Public records show they married in October 1997 in Clark County, Nev., which includes Las Vegas. They soon started having children, with three boys now age 10, 8 and 6. The couple ran a film-editing business in Los Angeles for a while, renting a house in 2006 and 2007 from Carrie Cavalier, a Burbank-based photographer who takes publicity headshots. “When they had their editing business, she was doing all the
work. She was in the back guest house doing editing and work ing on the footage all the time,” Cavalier said. They moved to Fort Collins two years ago, making the city north of Denver their base for a wide range of bizarre experiments that culminated with the balloon saga. Six-year-old Falcon Heene was reported to be trapped in the saucer-shaped balloon as it float ed across the Colorado plains but was later found alive and well at the family home. Authorities say Falcon was a pawn in a hoax hatched by his parents to get publicity for a real ity TV show. They say the parents could face criminal charges and be asked to pay restitution for the cost of the massive searchand-rescue operation.

Presidents convene to brainstorm at state Capitol on Thursday Steven K. Paulson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER
Racing to come up with pro posals to save higher education from a financial cliff, college presidents held a brainstorming summit Thursday at the state Capitol to come up with new ideas that all of them could support. Senate Majority Leader John Morse, a Democrat from Colorado Springs, said the economic crisis has given law makers and college leaders “a unique opportunity” to make sweeping changes. Morse said the propos als will be submitted to the Legislature’s Longterm Fiscal Stability Commission, with a Nov. 2 deadline for any legisla
tion it recommends. Suggestions for an omnibus higher education rescue bill included allowing colleges and universities flexibility in setting tuition, exemption from state personnel rules limiting the use of temporary employees, exemptions from the state pen sion program to keep educators from seeking early retirement, allowing colleges to enroll more international students and limits on financial reporting. Morse called it a “big, hairy audacious goal” that has a chance of success because it’s so bold. University of Colorado Pres ident Bruce Benson was more sub dued after the meeting, saying the ad hoc group came up with some suggestions but no new ways to create more revenue. He said the tougher issues, such as eliminat
ing duplicate programs and giv ing the Colorado Commission on Higher Education more control over funding, will take more time. “It’s efficiencies, there’s no real money there. It’s a start, and you have to start some where,” Benson said. The proposals immediately ran into a conflict when Rico Munn, the governor’s new direc tor of the Colorado Department of Higher Education, told col lege leaders Gov. Bill Ritter would veto any bill that provides tuition flexibility. Ritter is being forced by state law to cut $560 million from this fiscal year’s budget, which ends June 30. Over this fiscal year and the next, lawmakers will see the state General Fund budget slashed from $7.5 billion to $6.2 billion.

Apparent dog dispute deadly
Relentless defenders of those accused of a crime
Fort Lupton teen arrested in connection with shooting death FORT LUPTON
Weld County authorities have arrested a 16-year-old boy in a fatal shooting apparently sparked by a fight about the victim’s dogs. Investigators Thursday were still looking for a second suspect, 51-year-old Jose Rodriquez. Forty-three-year-old Hugo Botello-Gonzalez died after he was shot outside his home near Fort Lupton on Wednesday. His wife was also wounded but is expected to recover. Weld County sheriff’s spokeswoman Maggie Martinez said the shooting appeared to be a continuation of an ongoing fight between the victim and his neighbor about BotelloGonzalez’s dogs, both pit bulls.
State lawmaker works on medical marijuana rules DENVER
A state lawmaker says he’s working on legislation to regulate the booming medical marijuana industry. Sen. Chris Romer said Thursday that he plans to meet with medical marijuana
patients, dispensary owners and law enforcement officials as he develops the bill. He stressed that he supports the constitutional amendment voters passed in 2000 allowing the use of marijuana for medical purposes. However, he says he wants to make sure the marijuana truly is being used for medical reasons and is being grown locally. This week the Obama administration announced it will not seek to arrest medical marijuana users and suppliers as long as they conform to state laws. Romer says Colorado’s law isn’t clear and needs clarification to protect patients and dispensaries from prosecution.
Loveland man arrested in wife’s shooting death LOVELAND
A 33-year-old man is facing charges for the shooting death of his wife at their Loveland home earlier this month. Police say Branden Burgess was arrested Wednesday and
FELDMANN, NAGEL & ASSOCIATES
jailed on suspicion of reckless manslaughter, possession of a weapon by a previous offender and prohibited use of a weapon. He was advised of the charges Thursday. His wife, Kelly Burgess, died from a gunshot wound Oct. 6 but police have not disclosed the circumstances of the shooting. The Loveland ReporterHerald reports that a witness who found Kelly Burgess’ body says her husband was screaming that it was an accident.

OKLAHOMA CITY
In the largest single strike at Mexican drug operations in the U.S., authorities arrested more than 300 people in a sting that demonstrates a young cartel’s vast reach north of the border. The tentacles of “La Familia” extend coast to coast and deep into America’s heartland, with arrests announced Thursday in 38 cities from Boston to Seattle and from St. Paul, Minn., to Raleigh, N.C. Drug deals went down in Oklahoma parking lots, suppliers were advised to weld drugs into tire rims for transport, and in the Dallas and Seattle areas, dozens of children were removed from houses where authorities found drugs, guns or cash derived from drug sales.

Air “sterilizers.” A photon machine. Supplement pills to boost the immune system. Protective shampoos and face masks. Even fake Tamiflu. These and other products making bogus claims to prevent or treat swine flu are flooding the Internet as scam artists prey on the public’s fears while the vaccine is delayed and real Tamiflu is rationed.
Every problem, it would seem, is a sales opportunity. Some of the products appear to have been pitched for other emergencies, such as one called “Quake Kare” and masks and purifiers sold during the SARS scare. Federal officials have sent warning letters to promoters of more than 140 swine flu-related products, including well-known alternative medicine advocate Dr. Andrew Weil for his “Immune Support Formula.”
Consumer Reports also has warned subscribers to be wary. “It’s harmful, disappointing, frustrating to see folks take advantage of the public like this,” said Dr. John Santa, who evaluates health claims for Consumer Reports. Fraudulent products emerged shortly after swine flu did in the spring — about 10 a day, said Alyson Saben, director of a swine flu consumer fraud team formed by the Food and Drug Administration.

WASHINGTON
The House Financial Services Committee voted Thursday to create a federal agency devoted to protecting consumers from predatory lending, abusive overdraft fees and unfair rate hikes. Democrats are hailing the 39-29 vote as a win for the average American. It is a major step forward in enacting President Barack Obama’s plan to tighten the rules governing Wall Street, though the measure still faces scrutiny by the full House and Senate.
The legislation has been the target of an aggressive multimillion-dollar lobbying campaign by the financial industry, which contends that the agency would have dangerously broad reach. Thursday’s vote indicates that Democrats were willing to shrug off those concerns and are likely to pass the bill on the floor by the end of the year. Obama said the vote “sends an important signal to the American people that we will not stand by and allow big financial firms and their lobbyists to mobilize against change.” Also on Thursday, the com-
mittee was set to approve legislation that would impose new rules for credit cards on Dec. 1. A similar bill already passed Congress but won’t take effect until mid-February. Democrats have said the proposed Consumer Financial Protection Agency would help to reach across various businesses to stop fraud and abusive practices. That regulators didn’t monitor nonbank institutions like mortgage brokers was considered a major factor in subprime lending abuses that led to the housing market crash.

The Treasury Department on Thursday ordered seven companies that received billions of dollars in government bailouts to halve total compensation for their top executives. But the big reductions will not apply to pay earned before November. Kenneth Feinberg, the Treasury official leading the pay review, told reporters that average salaries for the top 25 executives are being cut 90 percent starting next month. The action will apply to the top executives at Bank of America Corp., American International
The government did not want to make executives return compensation already received this year, but the reduced pay levels will be the base for making decisions on salary in 2010, Feinberg said. The executives still will be subject to compensation limits as long as their companies are receiving support from the government’s $700 billion bailout fund. Their total compensation was being cut in half, on average. Cash salaries will be limited to $500,000 for more than 90 percent of affected employees. Personal expenses for such perks as company autos and corporate jets will be capped at $25,000.

Group, Citigroup, General Motors, GMAC, Chrysler and Chrysler Financial. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve unveiled a proposal Thursday that for the first time would police banks’ pay policies to ensure they don’t encourage employees to take reckless gambles like those that contributed to the financial crisis. Unlike the Treasury plan, the Fed proposal would cover thousands of banks, including many that never received a bailout. But the central bank would not actually set compensation. Instead, the Fed would review pay policies that could cause too much risk-taking by executives, traders or loan officers.

Homebuyer credit troubles Congress finds fraud issues with first-time buyer program Jim Abrams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON
The rush to implement a tax credit for first-time homebuyers opened the program up to potential fraud by people who hadn’t bought a home or already owned one, Congress was told Thursday. J. Russell George, Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, questioned the eligibility of some 100,000 claims out of the 1.5 million who have sought to take advantage of the $8,000 tax credit incorporated in the economic stimulus package enacted last February. He said claimants include those who could possibly be illegal immigrants and that 580 people seeking $4 million from the first-time homebuyer credit were younger than 18. The youngest taxpayers receiving

agency “will vigorously pursue those who filed fraudulent claims.” Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., chairman of the oversight subcommittee, said he had introduced legislation to improve the IRS’ administration of the program, including giving it the authority to look at prior returns to determine eligibility and requiring that taxpayers provide documented proof of a home purchase. Currently, applicants must fill out a separate IRS form but do not have to supply documentation. The tax credit is “a vital part of our economic recovery efforts. We must ensure that we are administering the credit accurately,” Lewis said. George said more than 19,000 people filed 2008 tax returns or amended returns claiming the credit for homes they had not yet purchased. Those claims amounted to $139 million and it was not clear that the IRS planned to go back to verify that those purchases actually took place, he said.
Poll says US belief in global warming cools Dina Cappiello
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON
Americans seem to be cooling toward global warming. Just 57 percent think there is solid evidence the world is getting warmer, down 20 points in just three years, a new poll says. And the share of people who think pollution caused by humans is causing temperatures to rise also has taken a dip, even as the U.S. and world forums gear up for possible action against climate change. In a poll of 1,500 adults by
the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, released Thursday, the number of people saying there is strong scientific evidence that the Earth has gotten warmer throughout the past few decades is down from 71 percent in April of last year and from 77 percent when Pew started asking the question in 2006. The number of people who see the situation as a serious problem also has declined. The steepest drop has occurred during the past year, as Congress and the Obama administration have taken steps to control heattrapping emissions.

George and an Internal Revenue Service official testifying before a House Ways and Means Committee subcommittee stressed that many of the questioned claims eventually may be found to be legitimate after further examination. But the hearing raised a yellow flag as Congress considers whether to extend, or even expand, the popular program that is set to expire at the end of November. The top Republican on the panel, Rep. Charles Boustany, Jr., of Louisiana, said while the issue of extending the credit was not the purpose of the hearing, “every time Congress creates a new refundable credit ... the incentive for fraud is magnified.” Linda Stiff, IRS’ deputy commissioner for services and enforcement, agreed that “any time that there is an opportunity to receive cash back, it tends to attract people that might have an intent to defraud the government.” She said the

Florida 7-year-old is found in landfill after vanishing Monday Brent Kallestad
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ORANGE PARK, FLA.
A body found under trash in a landfill is that of 7-yearold Somer Thompson, a north Florida girl who vanished on her walk home from school, authorities said Thursday. Clay County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Mary Justino also said the girl’s death was a homicide, though she did not elaborate. Justino confirmed the identification hours after Sheriff Rick Breseler said clothing and a birthmark led authorities to believe they had found the missing girl. An autopsy was being performed Thursday by the
Georgia Bureau of Investigation in Savannah after the body was found near the Florida state line. Detectives spotted the legs first and found the body partially covered by garbage Wednesday in a Georgia landfill, after investigators followed garbage trucks leaving the neighborhood where the child disappeared Monday. Somer’s father and other family members were “torn up” after hearing the news, aunt Laura Holt said. She hopes authorities will find her niece’s killer. “I don’t think they deserve to live,” Holt said. “I don’t think there’s anything worse that a person can do — to kill a child and dump her in the dump like
a piece of trash?” Justino said dozens of investigators would continue to sift through trash from the landfill during the next several days. Detectives had followed nine trucks into the landfill, she said, without specifying what evidence they recovered. Authorities have not said whether investigators believe the crime was committed by one or more people. Police have questioned more than 70 registered sex offenders in the area, and that process was continuing. Florida Department of Law Enforcement records show 161 offenders live in a 5-mile radius of Somer’s home.

The move to modify ambulances is just the latest effort to accommodate plus-sized patients. Some hospitals already offer specially designed beds, wheelchairs, walkers and even commodes. Ambulance companies say it’s time for insurance provid-
ers, Medicaid and Medicare, or patients to pay added costs. Now, ambulance companies are adding charges similar to those already imposed on intensive-care patients, people requiring multiple medications and patients on ventilators.

The memory still bothers Ken Keller: A panicked ambulance crew had a critically ill patient, but the man weighed more than 1,000 pounds and could not fit inside the vehicle. And the stretcher wasn’t sturdy enough to hold him. The crew offered an idea to Keller, who was then an investigator with the Kansas Board of Emergency Medical Services. Could they use a forklift to load the man — bed and all — onto a flatbed truck? Keller agreed: There was no other choice. As the nation battles the obesity crisis, ambulance crews are trying to improve how they transport extremely heavy patients, who become significantly more difficult to move as they surpass 350 pounds. And caring for such patients is expensive, requiring costly equipment and extra workers, so some ambulance companies have started charging higher fees for especially overweight people.

Norway and has a wealth of $90,000. Many media outlets use the tax records to produce their own searchable online databases. In the database of national broadcaster NRK, you can type a subject’s name, hit search and within moments get information on what that person made last year, what was paid in taxes and total wealth. It also compares those figures with Norway’s national averages for men and women, and that person’s city of residence. Critics say the list actually is a threat to society. “What each Norwegian earns and what you have in wealth is a private matter between the taxpayer and the government,” said Jon Stordrange, director of the Norwegian Taxpayer’s Association.

It’s the moment nosy Norwegian neighbors have been waiting for — the release of official records showing the annual income and overall wealth of nearly every taxpayer in the Scandinavian country. In a move that would be unthinkable elsewhere, tax authorities in Norway have issued the “skatteliste,” or “tax list,” for 2008 to the media under a law designed to uphold the country’s tradition of transparency. It’s Norwegians’ way of keeping up with the Johansens — from fishermen on the western fjords and Sami reindeer herders in the north to members of the committee that awarded President Barack
Obama the Nobel Peace Prize. To non-Scandinavians, it would seem to be a gross violation of privacy. The tax list stirs up a media frenzy, with splashy headlines revealing Norway’s wealthiest man, woman and celebrity couple. The data shows that former cross-country skiing great Bjoern Daehlie, who has eight Olympic gold medals, also has plenty of cash — $5.4 million. Actress and director Liv Ullmann, for instance, earned $17,300 in Norway, and has a wealth of $2.5 million. Income earned or kept abroad, or otherwise in some sort of tax shelter, is not included. Pioneering women’s long-distance runner Grete Waitz, a ninetime New York City Marathon champion, earned $13,500 in
digging in for a fight and travel the roads freely. Tired and dusty refugees arriving in this northwestern town Thursday from different parts of South Waziristan reported intense army bombing by jets and helicopters but said they had seen no ground troops. The accounts by a dozen refugees to Associated Press reporters are a sign of just how much fighting remains before the military can even hope to clear the area, which in recent years has become a major global hub for al-Qaida and other extremist groups who carry out attacks against U.S. troops in Afghanistan. The militants were believed to control roughly 1,275 square miles of territory before the offensive began. That portion covers about half of South Waziristan, which itself is slightly larger than Delaware. The military say its troops are progressing steadily and retaking land on three fronts. But officers have made it clear that the campaign will be long and bloody and acknowledged resistance is tough.
As the army presses into their heartland, the militants are trying to bring the war to the rest of Pakistan. During the past 20 days, they have killed more than 170 people in a series of suicide bombings and raids on Western, civilian and security-force targets across the country. In the latest attack, suspected insurgents on a motorbike shot and killed a senior army officer and a soldier Thursday in a residential part of the capital, Islamabad. The slain officer, Ahmed Moinuddin, was on leave from his job as deputy commander of the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Sudan.

Ex-guerrilla is front-runner
Personal Local Service
Jose ‘Pepe’ Mujica, former socialist, is leading Uruguay elections promising to foster relations in places “with a turban or without, in English, in Mandarin or in whatever language.” Many Uruguayans wonder how the 74-year-old self-described “hot head” with an ungovernable mop of silver-gray hair, a droopy mustache and a habitual twinkle in his eye can possibly follow the protocols of a head of state. He has been challenging authority all his life, usually from the outside, and has played on his loose-lipped reputation by repeating “I tell you one thing, I tell you another,” as a disarming and ironic catch phrase that takes aim at political hypocrisy. Now that the path to power seems to up the middle, Mujica has cleaned up his image, speaking from prepared texts and promising to govern inclusively and continue the policies of outgoing President Tabare Vazquez, who has Uruguay in relatively good shape with an economy swinging up and general agreement on the country’s path.
China’s 3Q growth at 8.9 percent Elaine Kurtenbach THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SHANGHAI
Lavish government spending and bank lending helped China’s growth rate accelerate to an 8.9 percent pace in the third quarter, far outstripping expansions elsewhere around the globe and raising questions about whether the rapid rebound can be sustained. China also announced Thursday that industrial production and investment spending are growing at a faster pace. That seemingly good news unsettled local stock investors, however, with fears Beijing may

need to rein in its stimulus policies to avoid asset bubbles and inflation. Companies, central bankers and political leaders across the world are increasingly counting on growing demand from Chinese producers and consumers to offset sluggish home markets. Corporations from Coke to Caterpillar are seeing their strongest sales in Asia, particularly China. So far, the growth is coming mostly from government-backed spending on construction and other projects, but demand from China’s traditionally frugal, still relatively poor consumers also is rising. The world’s third-largest
economy began to falter in late 2008 as exports plunged and thousands of factories shut down, throwing millions out of jobs. China fought back with a 4 trillion yuan ($586 billion) stimulus plan involving massive spending and bank lending for construction of infrastructure such as railways and roads to pump up the domestic economy. Growth fell to a low of 6.1 percent in the first quarter, but rebounded to 7.9 percent in the second quarter, hitting 8.9 percent in the third quarter compared with a year earlier. That puts the economy on track to at least meet the official target of an 8 percent expansion for 2009.

MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY
Jose “Pepe” Mujica, Uruguay’s most popular politician going into Sunday’s presidential election, is no ordinary front-runner. A former guerrilla and committed socialist who twice escaped from prison during the country’s 12-year dictatorship and was convicted of killing a policeman in 1971, Mujica is now a grandfatherly figure who captures imaginations with his blunt, salty language and his commitment to changing the system, this time from within. “In Uruguay, the congenital illness of the left — a lack of unity — can be overcome,” Mujica declared as he closed his campaign before a crowd that jammed the capital’s main street Wednesday night. Mujica won the primary of the ruling Broad Front coalition and is expected to get the most votes Sunday, but not quite the
majority needed for a first-round victory. He’ll likely face a Nov. 25 runoff against former president Luis Alberto Lacalle, of the centerright National Party. Trailing far back in third is the rightwing Colorado Party’s Pedro Bordaberry, son of former dictator Juan M. Bordaberry, who is under house arrest for crimes during the regime he installed with a 1973 coup. If Mujica wins the presidency, it will be seen as another rejection of unfettered capitalism in a region where many now see government efforts to follow Washington’s economic and political prescriptions as social failures. He promises to lead Uruguay’s 3.5 million people into the “first world,” transforming an economy based on agricultural exports and social spending to one that produces value-added goods and high technology, like Finland. “The country must be open to the rest of the world,” he said,

Amid fierce accusations of favoritism, President Nicolas Sarkozy’s son renounced his candidacy Thursday for the leadership of the organization that runs France’s most important business district on the western edge of Paris. Jean Sarkozy said he would run to join the council that oversees La Defense in a vote today, but that accusations of favoritism had led him to reconsider his decision ultimately to seek its presidency when that vote is held Dec. 4. The younger Sarkozy’s candidacy had drawn mounting criticism from both the left and among the ruling conservatives on grounds the 23-year-old, who has not completed his law studies, was not qualified for the high-profile job.

tants slammed into Somalia’s airport as the president was boarding a plane Thursday, sparking battles that killed at least 24 people when return fire hit residential areas and a market, officials said. A militant leader vowed to avenge the civilian deaths and threatened retaliatory attacks in two African countries that supply troops to the African Union peacekeeping mission stationed in Mogadishu. The president was unhurt, and his plane took off safely, police said, but the deaths of civilians is fueling a growing anger toward African Union peacekeeping forces that are stationed in Mogadishu to help protect the U.N.-backed government.
Anti-fascist protesters breach security at BBC LONDON
Anti-fascist protesters broke into the BBC’s west London headquarters Thursday before a
far-right party leader’s appearance on a leading political debate show. Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the BBC Television Center in a rowdy rally against British National Party chief Nick Griffin, who appeared on the broadcaster’s “Question Time” program. At one point, about 25 people breached a police cordon and ran into the center’s lobby. BBC footage showed some being pulled across the floor by their arms and legs by security. The broadcaster said the protesters were “escorted promptly” from the building. “Shame on the BBC!” one female protester yelled as she was being dragged out. Scotland Yard said three officers were injured in the protests, and six people were arrested. Griffin said afterward that he was relatively pleased with the program, and had taken a lot of flack but had “been able to land a few punches of my own.”

Rivalry aside, Moffat County coach Kip Hafey understands the unusual situation his football team is in. On the heels of playing topranked Steamboat Springs at 7 p.m. today at Gardner Field, Hafey knows the Bulldogs might need to win to make the Class 3A playoffs. But that still might not be enough. “Realistically we could be 8-2 and be in fourth place in

our league,” Hafey said. “You don’t hear that often, but that’s a reality.” That reality is a tough Western Slope League.
Steamboat, at 7-0 overall and 5-0 in league play, is tied with Glenwood Springs for the league lead. Delta, Palisade and Moffat sit with two league losses, and Delta and Palisade hold the tiebreaker advantage over Moffat. But considering that Wild Card points could allow more than three teams from the Western Slope League to make the playoffs, nothing would look better on the Bulldogs’ résumé than a win against the Sailors. “That’s our chance,” Hafey said. “We have to win as many as we can down the stretch.”
For Steamboat, however, the formula is simple. Win today and the Sailors clinch a berth into the playoffs. That, Steamboat coach Aaron Finch said, is the first thing the team wants to check off its list of lofty preseason goals. “It’s our opportunity,” Finch said. “It’s the first goal we talk about is to make playoffs. Then you have the opportunity to finish the season on a fourgame win streak.” The two teams couldn’t be See Football, page 36
Olympic flame for Vancouver lit in Ancient Olympia Nicholas Paphitis THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ANCIENT OLYMPIA, GREECE
The flame for the Vancouver Olympics was lit by the sun’s rays in an ancient ceremony Thursday, heralding the start of the torch relay for the 2010 Winter Games. The sun shone just enough
over the fallen temples at the birthplace of the ancient Olympics for a Greek actress in a pagan priestess’ white gown and sandals to focus its rays on a silver torch using a concave mirror. The flame will burn at the Feb. 12 to 28 Vancouver Games, following a torch relay across Canada and a shorter run in
Greece. “More than just a sporting event, the games offer us a unique moment to serve the cause of humanity and celebrate the human spirit,” Vancouver Organizing Committee CEO John Furlong said. Bad weather disrupted the meticulously choreographed cer-
emony for the past three Winter Olympics — Turin, Salt Lake City and Nagano — and officials had to use backup flames kindled at rehearsals. In addition to good weather, Thursday’s ceremony also had a lack of protesters. Vancouver relay officials had worried that activists would

offense to exploit defenses built to stop the run. Senior quarterback Cody Miles has led the way and last week alone accounted for more than 300 yards of offense and four touchdowns. He’s turned to receivers Alex Estes, Jacob Hange, Michael Rossi, Pie Lombardi and A.J. Anderson all season and should rely on that group again. “We’re going to spread them out just like we’ve done to everyone,” Bruner said. “People keep asking me how it’s possible, but we will probably throw it more than we have all year.” Norwood, meanwhile, will try to test one of the few areas in which Soroco hasn’t always proven dominant. The Mavericks will rely on their hard-nosed offensive line to open up a physical run game. The Rams proved susceptible to such attacks earlier in the season, giving up nearly 700 yards on the ground in one two-week span. “It’s nothing fancy,” Nor wood coach Tom LaFramboise said about his team’s offense. “The line has been our strong

point, and we will be counting on them to open up some big holes for our running backs.” LaFramboise said as important as stopping Soroco’s offense — for which he has installed several new defensive looks — will be, and as key as it will be to find cracks in Soroco’s defense, the most important aspect of the game for his team might be the first 15 minutes. The emotions likely to be in play tonight for Soroco, suiting up for its final game of the season, are no secret. “It can go two ways,” LaFramboise said. “They will come in with a huge motivation and be riding a wave because it’s their last game. What we have to do is try to control their initial surge and pop that bubble so they decide they’re finished.” The Rams, meanwhile, plan to ride the same momentum that’s carried them to one of their best-ever seasons for one final exclamation point victory. “They’re excited,” Bruner
said about his team. “They talked about going undefeated all year, and they finally have that opportunity. “We want to finish the year out right. We started something, and we want to finish it.”
Hayden faces another tough opponent today The path doesn’t get any easier for the Hayden football team. One week after struggling against undefeated Hotchkiss in a 35-0 loss, the Tigers will try to handle a nearly equally dominant Meeker (6-1) squad at 7 p.m. today in Hayden. The Cowboys have lost just one in 2009, falling in the season’s second week to now 7-0 Olathe. More recently they’ve walloped the competition, blowing out opponents two of the past three weeks. If Hayden (3-4) is to rebound after last week’s loss and even its record at .500, it will need to find some offensive momentum. The Tigers have scored just one touchdown in the past three weeks and two in the past month. During that stretch, the team is 1-3.

more different, though. Steamboat’s offense always is a threat to score. Last week at Battle Mountain, the team had four first downs and 61 points. Running back Joe Dover had nine carries — two of which he jumped on to recover fumbles — 234 yards and four touchdowns. It’s that big play threat that has Hafey concerned. “They’re a tremendously talented team,” he said. “They have some great athletes and a lot of team speed. They have so many weapons with (quarterback Austin) Hinder and Dover, and the list keeps going.” The best defense for the Bulldogs might be its offense. Moffat runs a variation of the Wing T offense predicated on misdirection. For the Bulldogs to be successful, they have to grind out drives. But Hafey said it’s not necessarily just winning the time of possession battle. He said the
offense does have to grind drives out, but more important, it has to finish those drives. Moffat has two capable backs in all-league selections Pablo Salcido and Jasen Kettle. The problem for the Bulldogs has been that the two haven’t been healthy on the same field since Week 1. Hafey said a decision would be made late Thursday about whether Salcido and Kettle could go. Regardless, Steamboat’s key might be its defense getting the Moffat offense off the field. Force Moffat into long third downs, limit its plays and get the ball back to the offense, and Steamboat has to like its chances. “We need to shut them down on their first offensive series,” Steamboat linebacker Michael Savory said. “We need to do that and get our offense on the field.”

The Steamboat SpringsMoffat County soccer game ended at 7 p.m., but the real drama took place one county over and two hours later. The Steamboat boys soccer team had done its part for the Western Slope League championship, a quick 3-0 win against Moffat County on Thursday at Gardner Field. But for the Sailors to be crowned league champs for the first time since winning backto-back championships in 2000 and 2001, Steamboat had to wait for the Eagle Valley and Battle Mountain result, a game
that started 90 minutes after Steamboat’s did. Sailors coach Rob Bohlmann got the good news via a phone call from Battle Mountain coach Dave Cope directly after the Battle Mountain and Eagle Valley game had ended. The Huskies and Devils played to a scoreless tie, giving the Sailors their first league title in eight years. “As a group we did what we could do and feel good about what we’ve done,” Bohlmann said. “Yes, it’s a great feeling now that we know. In reality, as tight as the league has been, we did everything we could. Sometimes luck goes on our side, and sometimes you earn your luck. It just happened to
work our way this time.” Before Steamboat could celebrate, the team had to take care of business against a young Moffat squad. Brandon Marr got it going for Steamboat in the 18th minute. Sam Glaisher hit a perfect through ball from the right side to the back right post, where Marr headed it in for a 1-0 Sailors lead. Moffat had two prime chances in the first half. The first came when Lupe Rodriguez and Sailors keeper Connor Birch battled for the ball in the box, and Birch got there first. The second, and probably best, came in the 18th minute See Soccer, page 39

The good news is the Steamboat Springs High School volleyball team still controls its own destiny. So even with a 25-20, 25-16, 23-25 and 25-22 loss at Palisade on Thursday, Steamboat still has the opportunity to finish in second place in the Western Slope League with a win today at Delta. The two teams play at 5:30 p.m. The Sailors hold the tiebreaker against the Bulldogs because they swept Palisade in three games earlier this season. “Palisade just outplayed us, and
PREP VOLLEYBALL it’s that darn simple,” Steamboat coach Wendy Hall said. “They just played better than us” Thursday. The Bulldogs jumped out to a 2-0 lead and looked like they’d make the tiebreaker even more interesting by jumping out to a 21-17 lead in the third game. But Steamboat battled and picked up a win in game three. “That third game was very, very critical,” Hall said. Colleen King led the Sailors with 12 kills. Jayde Mattox added eight kills, and Devin Wilkinson had six blocks. Steamboat, now 14-4 overall
and 10-3 in league play, could face a tough Delta team. Hall said that the Panthers have been improving and that a win today is not guaranteed. Despite Steamboat’s winning in three games against Delta earlier this season, Hall said the Sailors must play better than they did Thursday. “We have our work cut out for us” today, Hall said. “We saw signs of it (Thursday). They were too good of a team to come back on. Palisade played tough, but I think we’ll bounce back.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

Lakers rout Nuggets, 106-89 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ANAHEIM, CALIF.
Playing without their inj ured inside duo of 7-foot ers Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum, the Los Angeles Lakers routed the Denver Nuggets, 106-89, in an exhibi tion game Thursday night. Kobe Bryant had 23 points for the Lakers (6-1), while Lamar Odom had 17 points and nine rebounds. Carmelo Anthony scored 28 points for the Nuggets (3-4), and Chauncey Billups added 19. Bynum, out with a strained
right rotator cuff, is dayto-day and could play in Thursday’s the Lakers’ game: final exhibition Nuggets 89 game against Lakers 106 Denver in San Diego today. But Bynum said he will “defi nitely” be back for the season opener Tuesday against the Clippers. Gasol, an all-star last sea son, will not play in the pre season finale and it wasn’t known whether he would be ready Tuesday. “Whether he makes it or
not, I’m not worried,” Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. Josh Powell had 15 points and six rebounds for the Lakers and Shannon Brown added 10 points. The player who gave the Lakers the most unexpect ed lift had to be 7-foot DJ Mbenga, the No. 3 center, who started and had eight points on 3-of-5 shooting and seven blocked shots in 26 min utes. Denver center Nene fin ished with three points and six rebounds. The Nuggets fell behind, 52-46, after the Lakers went on an 8-0 run at the end of the first half. The crowd of 15,206 in the Honda Center was able to see the dramatic end of the Angels’ 7-6 win against the New York Yankees in Game 5 of the ALCS in neighboring Angel Stadium when it was broadcast live at halftime.

The Los Angeles Angels’ Maicer Izturis makes a diving grab Thursday to get the New York Yankees’ Hideki Matsui out in the fourth inning of Game 5 of the ALCS at Anaheim Stadium in Anaheim, Calif.
Angels answer Yankees’ rally; extend AL series Greg Beacham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ANAHEIM, CALIF.
Just when all looked lost, the Los Angeles Angels took a cue from an old friend. With their Rally Monkey doing his best work in years, the Angels sent the American League championship series back to New York. Kendry Morales drove in the go-ahead run with a two-out sin gle in the seventh inning, and the Angels responded to the Yankees’ six-run comeback moments ear lier for a 7-6 win Thursday night that trimmed New York’s lead in the ALCS to 3-2. Vladimir Guerrero’s single tied it in the seventh for the Angels, who somehow didn’t sur render after blowing a 4-0 lead. New York struck immediately after manager Mike Scioscia removed ace John Lackey, with Robinson Cano capping the rally with a two-run triple. The Game 5 theatrics con tinued right up to the final pitch, when Angels closer Brian Fuentes retired Nick Swisher on a full-count popup with the bases loaded. “My hair is falling out,” said shaved-headed Angels outfielder Torii Hunter, who had a two-run single in Los Angeles’ four-run first inning. “We’re having a little fun, man. Everybody thought we were down.” Game 6 is Saturday night at Yankee Stadium, with Andy Pettitte facing Los Angeles’ Joe Saunders. Also in the forecast: a huge rainstorm. When Cano put New York up 6-4, everything in somber Angel Stadium pointed to a clinching victory and a 40th AL pennant for the Yankees. Instead, the Angels showed off the knack for late-game comebacks they’ve possessed ever since their run to their only championship in 2002, when the beloved Rally Monkey began appearing in the late innings on their scoreboard and in plush
form in the stands. “It’s a missed opportunity, but we still have another game,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “We’ve bounced back from tough losses all year long. We’ve had it happen to us before and been able to get off the carpet.” Although two games in the Bronx — and shutdown starter CC Sabathia — still stand in the Angels’ way, the collapse raised the slightest echoes of what hap pened to the Yankees’ last big lead in an ALCS. The Red Sox famously rallied from an 0-3 def icit in 2004, making a late rally to win Game 4 before finishing off the biggest comeback in baseball history in seven games. Only six teams have rallied from a 3-1 deficit to win a league championship series — most recently in 2007, when Boston came back against Sabathia and Cleveland on the way to a title. Including the World Series, 11 of 70 teams that fell into a 3-1 hole have made the comeback. Lackey cruised through the first six innings after Los Angeles scored four in the first, and the ace reacted with audible disappoint ment when Scioscia pulled him. Darren Oliver yielded a three-run double to Mark Teixeira on his first pitch, and Hideki Matsui added a tying single. But the Angels added another comeback. Jeff Mathis and Erick Aybar reached base to chase A.J. Burnett, the big-money free agent who’s still winless in three postseason starts. After Mathis scored on Bobby Abreu’s RBI groundout, Guerrero’s drib bling single against reliever Phil Hughes eluded a diving Derek Jeter to tie it — and Morales put the Angels ahead with the latest clutch hit of his breakout season. “That’s not a forgiving team over there,” Scioscia said. “They hit pretty quick in that inning with six runs, and we bounced back and answered with three. In the dugout between innings, guys See ALCS, page 39

Sailors team prepares for its playoff fate Soccer continued from 37 when a corner ball rumbled around the box. A point-blank shot deflected off a Steamboat defender and out of the box. “We were still coming out pretty confident, but at the same time thinking about last year where we had trouble with them,” Steamboat senior Colton Harding said. “We knew it wouldn’t be easy, but we thought we could get it done. As soon as we got the ball, possessed and got the first goal, we could relax a little.” Steamboat got some breathing room in the 56th minute. After just missing on multiple chances, Enrique Lopez got a ball outside the box with space and hit a low shot just inside the
post for a 2-0 lead. Glaisher put the game away five minutes later when a rifle of a shot made its way through a crowded box and inside the left post for a 3-0 Steamboat lead. Moffat coach Rusty Cox wasn’t upset with the effort. Considering that the Bulldogs have only four seniors and at times played as many as six freshmen, Cox said the program is on the upswing. “I mean, we’re building,” he said. “This year we’ve doubled what we did the year before. We’re building. They never worry. They just go. This team is great. They go out there and have fun. They step and just go. So what it’s the last game of the year? There’s always next year, there’s always indoor soc-
Cowboy
cer. There’s always something.” Steamboat now prepares to find out its playoff fate Sunday when the Colorado High School Activities Association will dole out the playoff seeds. Bohlmann couldn’t guess where his team would be seeded. But judging from past seasons, a home playoff game and top12 seed should be expected. “You can always go back and kind of say a few what-ifs in some of the games throughout the season. But all in all that’s few and far between,” Bohlmann said. “We feel pretty good about what we’ve done in league play. It’s been tight and competitive. You love to see that.”

Lackey shut out Yankees with 6-hit ball ALCS continued from 38 were still pumped up. Just some real good hitting.” Jered Weaver, who started Game 3 for the Angels, pitched a hitless eighth before Fuentes barely escaped the ninth. After two quick outs, he intentionally walked Alex Rodriguez with
nobody on base before walking Matsui and hitting Cano with a pitch to load the bases for the slumping Swisher, who battled Fuentes for seven pitches before popping out. Hunter and Guerrero drove home runs in the first inning, and Lackey shut out the Yankees into the seventh with masterful
six-hit ball — but Scioscia pulled him with the bases loaded and two outs in the seventh after 104 pitches. Teixeira, 3 for 21 in the ALCS at that point, cleared the bases. Matsui tied it before Cano drove home Rodriguez and Matsui with a triple on his 27th birthday off reliever Kevin Jepsen.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Sophie Oda, 18; Masiela Lusha, 24; Al Leiter, 44; Weird Al Yankovic, 50 Happy Birthday: Anger and resentment are a waste of time. Instead, concentrate on what you can do to get ahead or complete some of the projects you've started. There is more on the line than you realize and your undivided attention must be given if you want to prosper this year. Your numbers are 10, 18, 20, 24, 36, 38, 44 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don't let big jobs daunt you. Work at your own speed and do what you can. Romance should play into your plans late in the day. An old friendship can be revitalized if you make the first move. ★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can't go wrong if you follow your own path and not someone else's. Take your time and do things right. Your experience and knowledge will put a professional slant on everything you do. An old love interest will play a role in a decision you make. ★★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Someone you have worked with or for in the past will recognize your talents and the chance of getting greater opportunities through this channel will develop. Eliminate any minor health issues you are experiencing. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Delve into the secrets that baffle you about someone you are interested in getting to know better. Offer help and suggestions. You will be emotional and able to speak openly. Don't be afraid to make personal or professional changes. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Stick to your budget, no matter how tempted you are to spend more. You can make some great alterations to your living quarters. A problem with truth and promises being honored can be expected. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It's time to shake things up a bit at home and where your personal desires are concerned. Question anyone who can influence what you do for a living. You may want to pick up some additional skills or broaden your outlook. ★★★★★
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You'll face obstacles if you try to use emotional tactics to get your way. Rely on past experience to help you win favors. A change of plans, going in a new direction or making adjustments to a relationship that isn't working should be considered. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You will thrive on change, trying new things and meeting new people. An old friend or lover can alter your life by offering you false hope that can easily lead you astray. Proceed with caution. ★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Remove yourself from the line of fire. A conference, tradeshow or talking to someone with experience will pay off but don't initiate change until you are satisfied that you will get the results you need to move forward. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It's OK to be emotional and get things out in the open. In fact, it will do you good and help show your sensitive side. Once you prove your point, you will get all the help you need. A passionate approach will bring results. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don't be fooled into thinking you are being told the truth just because someone says so. Take a closer look before getting involved. Don't let anyone make you feel guilty because you want to back out of something you aren't sure you want to pursue.
Cathy ® Cathy Guisewite
Monty ® Jim Meddick
★★★
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Use emotional tactics, if necessary, to get to the bottom of what's really going on in your personal life. Children, friends and even lovers may not be completely honest with you. Dig deep and you'll discover the truth.
★★★★
Birthday Baby: You are emotional and sensitive. You have an interesting way of expressing your views and are innovative and trendy. You seek high positions aggressively. 2009 UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

Frentress, Zehner say experience would be an asset to School Board Hayden continued from 12 Zehner said his experience as a manager and pilot would be an asset to the School Board. “I have a number of ideas, with my background, to help guide (the district) for a better future in terms of education for our kids,” he said. For instance, Zehner said much of his career has involved computer training and using computer programs. Zehner said he would emphasize the importance of computer-based learning because computers only will be a
bigger part of education in the future. His opponent, Tim Frentress, has said his previous experience as a Town Board member would be an asset to the School Board. Frentress couldn’t be reached for comment for this story. He previously said his familiarity with budgets, especially with tight budgets expected for the next several years, would assist the district.
District B Hallenbeck, who’s never held public office, said she decided to run because she thought it
was her time to get more directly involved in the school district. She said she’s attended meetings for years, and instead of voicing her opinion to the board, she wants to be a part of it. Hallenbeck said she didn’t run in the past because until recently, she was happy with the way the School Board made decisions. But with the recession, she said she’s seen spending on things that didn’t make sense to her. Hallenbeck said the district spent money on signs at schools and paint to redo parking lot lines while cut-
ting teachers’ budgets. “We need to put our money where it needs to be to help the kids,” she said. “I think people are unhappy with the superintendent (Greg Rockhold). That’s what I’m hearing. I’m not happy. It’s not just parents and teachers, but the whole community.” Fulton, who was appointed to the board in 2007, said he thought part of the increased interest in this year’s race related to Rockhold, but he’s not pointing a finger at the superintendent. “He’s trying to make budget
decisions and decisions that have to be made that aren’t popular,” Fulton said. “Cuts have been made, and cuts had to be made, and it’s probably going to negatively affect someone.” Fulton said he doesn’t have an agenda but after learning the ropes for the past two years would like to continue on the board. He said it’s important for school boards to function as teams, and during his tenure, the board has developed that. That’s important with tough decisions for the district in the years ahead, Fulton said.
Ski Corp. has submitted a new trails master plan to Forest Service Cycling continued from 1 city of Steamboat Springs and U.S. Forest Service officials are involved in discussions about freeriding. In addition to new trails within ski resort boundaries, Craigen said the Forest Service also is open to creating an integrated network of freeriding trails
in other areas of the national forest around Steamboat, including Buffalo Pass. “They are interested in a partnership with us to build them in a responsible, sustainable manner,” Craigen said. Ski Corp. has submitted a new trails master plan to the Forest Service that includes
three freeride zones and nine trails. Craigen said the trails are mapped and ready to be built, but he stressed that the plans still are subject to the Forest Service’s permitting process. “We don’t want to get ahead of ourselves,” he said, “but this is something everyone is looking at with a great deal of interest.”

Tourism boost According to the International Mountain Bicycling Association, Colorado has six freeriding locations — Breckenridge, Keystone, Fruita, Silverton, Winter Park and Colorado Springs. British Columbia is considered the mecca of the discipline, with venues including Whistler Mountain Bike Park. Ski Corp.’s parent company, Intrawest, is familiar with freeriding. Summer mountain bike parks exist at Intrawest’s Winter Park and Whistler Blackcomb ski resorts, and company officials said they have been very successful. “It’s really turned that resort into a four-season destination,” Intrawest spokesman Ian Galbraith said about Whistler. A study by the Western Canada Mountain Bike Tourism Association found that the economic impact of mountain biking in southern British Columbia is substantial. The study found that visitors to Whistler Mountain Bike Park spent nearly $16.5 million in summer 2006 and supported an estimated 384 jobs paying $12.8 million in wages and salaries. “For local residents, the trails provide a venue to participate in an active, healthy lifestyle, and increase the desirability of living in the area,” the study states. “Moreover, the trails are an attraction for residents in both (neighboring) and out-of-town areas to visit the host communities, thereby providing support for local businesses and increasing the economic activity for the region.” Like the Steamboat Ski Area, Winter Park has long provided lift access to mountain bikers. Only in the past few years, however, has it put emphasis on a “gravity-fed experience,” said Bob Holme, general manager of Winter Park’s Trestle Bike Park. Holme said the park’s features — such as wooden bridges over sensitive root systems — are specifically designed to protect resources in the national forest.
“It has been an area of growth for our resort. Specific (visitor numbers), I can’t really get into,” said Holme, who said the resort is working with the Forest Service on plans for substantial expansions to the park. Craigen and others hope for similar results in Steamboat. Craigen said the economic benefit of cycling events could match or exceed the influence of Triple Crown Sports’ summer baseball and softball tournaments in Steamboat, with a fraction of the negative impacts and controversy. “It’s something that could add a real boost to our economy,” he said. Councilwoman Cari Herma cinski has been involved in the discussions about freeriding, and she said she is excited about the concept because she thinks it fits Steamboat’s personality better than other summer events geared toward tourists. She also said it will be important to develop new events because Triple Crown intends to downsize its presence in Steamboat by splitting its World Series event between here and another community as early as 2011. “It just seems like it gets better every year,” Craigen said about the local cycling scene. “We’re trying to fill restaurants and beds. The kind of terrain we have is just perfect for this.” With freeride development, new trail construction, the scheduled return of the stage race and the anticipated LIVESTRONG ride, Craigen said there is “a synergy we haven’t seen before.” The LIVESTRONG ride is scheduled for the first weekend of August next year and has been conditionally approved by the Forest Service. Craigen said the event is not a race and described it as “an epic ride along the Divide Trail from Dumont Lake to the ski area.” Gov. Bill Ritter and Lance Armstrong’s mother, Linda, are expected to attend. Proceeds from the ride would benefit the Lance Armstrong Foundation and Yampa Valley Medical Center.
