After a fall season that has been nightmarish for some downtown businesses, talks are under way about how to better plan for effects of spring construction on Lincoln Avenue. The Colorado Department of Transportation and Scott Contracting are wrapping up fall’s portion of the major resurfacing and improvement project

that’s moving in stages between Third and 13th streets. Work on a box culvert at Seventh Street concluded Thursday morning, and the last day of work until spring likely is Nov. 13, a week away. That day can’t come fast enough for some downtown business owners, who said they were not prepared for the scope of the project’s impacts, including road closures for five consecutive blocks and a lack of downtown parking.

Jamie McQuade, owner of Winona’s Restaurant, 617 Lincoln Ave., said she lost $15,000 in the last two weeks of October. “I’m down 50 to 60 percent … and if it keeps going the way it is, honestly, I’ll be out of business in the spring,” McQuade said Thursday night in Centennial Hall, at a meeting with representatives from CDOT, Scott Contracting and HDR Engineering, which is providing design support for
the project. The meeting was held to discuss ways to mitigate effects of spring construction work, slated to start April 1, weather permitting, and continue through most, if not all, of June.

Cindy Mosciaro said her 20-month-old daughter, Ella, would choose a bowl of green beans instead of a bowl of candy if given the option. The Mosciaros call her EllaBeans. Ella was diagnosed Oct. 9 with focal cortical dysplasia. Mosciaro said Ella has a lesion on her brain, which causes seizures. To help pay for her care, including the cost to drive to treatment in Denver, a soup dinner is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. today at Hayden Congregational Church. Members of the congregation and friends are providing food, and the event is free, but donations will be accepted at the door, Betty Barnes said. Barnes, a friend of the Mosciaros’ and church member, is helping organize the soup dinner.

Barnes said the church saw a need and decided to try to help. “For so many of us who’ve had people in similar situations, regardless of having insurance, that still doesn’t cover some costs like driving back and forth to Denver,” Barnes said. Mosciaro said Ella began hav-

Assault investigation ongoing Police, deputies have identified suspects in 2 of 3 recent cases Zach Fridell PILOT & TODAY
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS
Police and deputies have identified suspects in two of the three recent reports of sexual assault or attempted assaults in the Steamboat Springs area. Local law enforcement officials maintain that there is no reason to believe the incidents are related. Steamboat Springs Police Department officers are investigating two reports of sexual assault that happened within a day of one another. One was a reported attempted assault in a River Road home, and the other was a reported rape at a downtown street corner. Capt. Joel Rae said that on Oct. 20, a woman called police at 7:33 p.m. to report that a man had knocked on the door of her River Road home offering to sell tortillas. The woman invited the man into the house and told officers that after she purchased the tortillas, the man approached her and shoved her to the ground. The woman said she kicked
the man in the groin, and he left the house. Officers said the woman didn’t suffer any injuries as a result of the incident. The woman told officers she had seen tortilla sellers in the neighborhood before but that she did not know whether the man was associated with that group. Police found the suspect described by the woman, a stocky Hispanic man in his early 30s, and questioned him and a witness in the days after the reported attack. “He has been thoroughly interviewed, along with another witness, and at this point we will probably not be moving forward with any criminal charges due to conflicting information between the victim and the suspect, and possible declination to prosecute from the DA’s Office,” Rae said Thursday. He said that the decision to not press charges was a mutual decision between the police department and the 14th Judicial District Attorney’s Office. Rae said the case was “going to be impossible to prove beyond a reasonable doubt.”
In the second case, a woman reported that she was raped at about 1 a.m. Oct. 21 at the corner of 11th and Oak streets. Police sent forensic evidence from that case to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation for analysis. Police said they don’t have any suspects, and the victim was unable to provide a description of her attacker. Police Detective Capt. Bob DelValle said police could not reveal what evidence was sent to CBI. Police are considering the possibility that the Oct. 20 and Oct. 21 cases are related, but DelValle said detectives have found nothing that links the two. “There is some consideration that there could be some connection between the two, but we don’t have any hard facts to confirm that, just the timing,” he said. A third incident, involving a juvenile, was reported in midSeptember to the Routt County Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman and evidence technician Mellisa Baumgartner said the suspect in the reported sexual assault is not a stranger to the vic-

COMMENTARY
Election 2009: Change I can believe in Ann Coulter
UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE
MSNBC, Aug. 31, 2009, Keith Olbermann on Robert F. McDonnell, Republican candidate for governor of Virginia: “In (McDonnell’s master’s thesis), he described women having jobs as detrimental to the family, called legalized use of contraception illogical, pushed to make divorce more difficult, and insisted government should favor marCoulter ried couples over, quote, ‘cohabitators, homosexuals or fornicators.’ Wow. When did he write this? 1875? No, 1989. Wow, 1989. “Goodbye, Mr. McDonnell.” MSNBC, Sept. 22, 2009, Rachel Maddow also on McDonnell: “And here’s where the conservative movement and the Republican estab-
lishment smash into each other like bumper cars without bumpers. Here’s where Republican electoral chances stop being separate from the wild-eyed excesses of the conservative movement. “Part of watching Republicans try to return to power is watching … the conservative movement eat the Republican Party, eat their electoral chances over and over and over again.” On election night, conservatives-eating-Republicans resulted in an 18-point landslide for McDonnell, who beat his Democratic opponent 59 percent to 41 percent — winning two-thirds of all independent voters and ending the Democrats’ eight-year reign in the Virginia governor’s office. Republicans swept all statewide offices for the first time in 12 years, winning the races for lieutenant governor and attorney general, as well as assembly seats, garbage inspector, dog catcher and anything else Virginians
could vote for. To paraphrase a pompous blowhard: Goodbye, Mr. Democrat. And that’s not the most exciting news from election night! Astoundingly, Jon Corzine, the incumbent governor of heavily Democratic New Jersey — a state that Barack Obama won by 16 points just a year ago — lost by 5 points. At 49 percent for Republican Chris Christie versus 44 percent for Corzine, the election wasn’t even close enough to be stolen by ACORN. (Although Corzine did extremely well among underaged Salvadoran prostitutes living in government housing.) The biggest winner election night was pollster Scott Rasmussen, who — once again — produced the most accurate poll results. New York Times poll: Corzine 40, Christie 37; Quinnipiac poll: Corzine 43, Christie See Coulter, page 9
Who are you calling a narcissist, Rush? Maureen Dowd
THE NEW YORK TIMES
WASHINGTON
I had a four-hour dinner once with Rush Limbaugh at the “21” Club in Manhattan, back in the days when I was still writing profiles as a “reporterette,” to use a Limbaugh coinage. He was charming, in a shy, awkward, lonely-guy way. Not a man of the people. He arrived in a chauffeured town car and ordered $70-an-ounce Beluga, Porterhouse and 1990 CortonDowd Charlemagne. But he was not a Neanderthal, though he did have a cold and blew his nose in his napkin. He talked about Chopin’s Polonaise No. 6, C.S. Lewis and how much he loved the end of the movie “Love Story.”
MALLARD FILLMORE
In those days, he called himself a “harmless little fuzzball.” He’s a lot less harmless now. I went on to columny, as my pal Bill Safire called it, and Rush went on to calumny. As he and Sarah Palin conduct their auto-da-fe of moderate Republicans — “Moderates by definition have no principles,” he told his radio audience Monday — Limbaugh is more than ever the face of his party, as Rahm Emanuel said. He’s also the mouth. Limbaugh is right that Democrats tend to dither too much. They’re always wondering if they’re doing the right thing, indulging in on-the-onehand, on-the-other paralysis by analysis, seeing, as James Carville put it, “six sides to the Pentagon.” President Barack Obama will have to step it up on jobs and fixing the deficit if he wants to block conservatives from stoking the anger of Americans
who only see a recovery on Wall Street, especially given Republicans’ inroads Tuesday night. But the tactics of Limbaugh, Palin, Cheney & Fille are more cynical: They spin certainty, ignoring their side’s screw-ups, and they exploit patriotism, labeling all critics as traitors. In an interview on “Fox News Sunday With Chris Wallace,” Limbaugh accused the president of trying to destroy the economy — yes, the same economy that W. came within a whisker of ruining. “I have to think that it may be on purpose,” Limbaugh said, “because this is just outrageous, what is happening — a denial of liberty, an attack on freedom.” Asked about Afghanistan, another W. cataclysm that has left Obama agonizing, Limbaugh stated, “I also don’t See Dowd, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

VIEWPOINTS Democrat after withdrawing from the race last weekend. Conservative opposition to Scozzafava hardly suggests they plan to impose litmus tests on every Republican candidate in the 2010 elections. Speaking of litmus tests, on MSNBC recently, liberal blogger Jane Hamsher said of the possibility that a blue dog Democrat would oppose national health care: “I dare Blanche Lincoln — I dare Blanche Lincoln to join a filibuster. She’ll draw primary opponents so fast it would make your head spin.” While I’m sure an out-oftouch liberal blogger from Hollywood knows more about Arkansas than an elected senator from that state, Hamsher’s threat sounds more like an intra-party civil war than conservatives opposing a George Soros-supported Republican candidate in a New York congressional race. Not only do conservatives not pick insane fights — such as staging a 2006 primary fight against a recent vice presidential candidate because he supported the war in Iraq — but conservatives are more popular than Republicans. By contrast, liberals are less popular than Democrats. When conservatives take control of the Republican Party, Republicans win. When liberals take control of the Democratic Party, Democrats end up out of power for eight to 12 years.
Thank you
to all the locals who supported my campaign and my positions. I appreciate each and every one of you. Sincerely,

Rush Limbaugh calls president immature Dowd continued from 8 think he cares much about it.” Again suggesting that the president is an unpatriotic fop, the radio ranter averred: “He wants to manage this rather than achieve victory.” He told Wallace that “throughout the Iraq war, it was Barack Obama and the Democrat Party which actively sought the defeat of the U.S. military.” Actually, rigorously examining the government’s conduct of a war started on false pretenses is the best sort of patriotism. Asked about fellow conservative George Will’s contention that the United States should get out of Afghanistan, Limbaugh said, “I don’t have the benefit of knowledge that George Will has, so I trust the experts, and to me they’re the people in the U.S. military.” Even a chickenhawk like Rush should remember how well that worked in Vietnam, or in the early years of Iraq. The founding fathers desig-
nated a civilian as commander in chief for a reason. Military brass have told the White House that this is the first time in eight years that they have gotten the attention and resources that they’ve needed in Afghanistan. If W. had gone to Dover in the middle of the night to salute the war dead, Limbaugh and Liz Cheney would have been gushing about his patriotism. But since it’s Obama who at last showed up there to see the brutal cost of war, they simply have to dismiss the moving moment as a publicity stunt. Years ago, when I dubbed Dubya “The Boy Emperor,” Limbaugh spewed a stream of personal invective about me that embarrassed even my mother, a Limbaugh fan. But now Limbaugh calls Obama the “man-child president.” The 48-year-old Obama is skinny and getting skinnier, but there’s nothing childish about him. He more or less
raised himself and came to terms with his Oedipal demons on his own, and he radiates a hard-won maturity. W., on the other hand, was like a kid who knew that Daddy’s friends would take care of him; he was always running off to the gym or going biking, leaving the governing to his regents, Cheney and Rummy, or incompetents like Brownie. At our long-ago dinner, Limbaugh credited his success with being “one-dimensional.” “I’m totally concerned with me,” he said. And that was way before he got a contract for $400 million, so we can only imagine how one-dimensional he is now. But on Sunday, he ripped the president for having “an out-of-this-world ego,” for being “very narcissistic,” “immature, inexperienced, in over his head.” (Isn’t immaturity scoring OxyContin from your maid?) It gives new meaning to pot, kettle and black.

38; Rasmussen poll: Christie 46, Corzine 43. The biggest loser was President Barack Obama, who campaigned tirelessly for Corzine, even giving up golf on several occasions and skipping a quarter-million-dollar “date night” with Michelle to stump for the Democrat. Just two days before the election, Obama was at a rally in New Jersey assuring voters that Corzine was “one of the best partners I have in the White House. We work together. … Jon Corzine helped get this done.” Except the problem is that voting for Obama a year ago was a fashion statement, much like it was once a fad to buy Beanie Babies, pet rocks and Cabbage Patch Kids. But instead of ending up with a ridiculous dust-collector at the bottom of your closet, the Obama fad leaves you with higher taxes, a reduced retirement fund, no job and a oneyear wait for an MRI. That is why Corzine’s defeat sounded the death knell for national health care. The good news: Next time Corzine is in a major car accident after speeding on the New Jersey Turnpike, he’ll be able to see a doctor right away. The media will try to rescue health care by talking about nothing but the 23rd District of New York, where
the Democrat won Tuesday night. Congratulations, Democrats — you won a congressional seat in New York! Next up: A Catholic elected pope! Far from an upset, the Democrats’ winning the 23rd District was a long-term plan of the Obama White House. That’s why Obama made John McHugh, the moderate Republican congressman representing the 23rd District, his secretary of the Army earlier this year. The Democrats thought McHugh’s seat would be easy pickings. Only in the last week has everyone acted as if a Democratic victory in the 23rd District would be a shocking surprise — an upset victory caused by puritanical Republicans staging inquisitions against “mainstream” Republican candidates like Dede Scozzafava, the designated “Republican” candidate in the special election. This is preposterous — there was absolutely nothing Republican about Scozzafava. As a supporter of partial-birth abortion, card-check union schemes and massive government spending programs, she was less Republican than John McCain. Even Markos Moulitsas of Daily Kos called Scozzafava the most liberal candidate in the race — which may explain why she was the choice of George Soros’ Working Families Party and why she promptly endorsed the

Cog Road project delayed Contractor waiting for steel; new completion date is Dec. 31 HAYDEN
The Cog Road slide repair project near Hayden has been delayed until mid-November. Heather McLaughlin, senior engineer for the Routt County Road and Bridge Department, said the contractor, American Civil Constructors, was waiting for steel from the manufacturer to begin the project. The steel will be used to build the wall to prevent the continual slide of Routt County Road 76, know as the Cog Road. McLaughlin said the steel was the first component needed to build the wall. “It’s all pending on steel,” she said. “Unfortunately, we can’t hold anyone to it. It’s not the contractor’s fault. It’s the steel guys’ fault.” Because the project initially was expected to be finished Nov. 25, McLaughlin said the contract with American Civil
Constructors, of Lakewood, had to be amended. She said the new expected completion date is Dec. 31. Lynda Vaillancourt, a resident who lives off the Cog Road, had wondered whether the county had abandoned the project. She said workers began marking the road about a month ago but that she hasn’t seen anyone since. “It’s a big concern to us because if that road is inaccessible, we’ll have to drive almost to Craig to get back to Hayden,” she said, referring to a route around Elkhead Reservoir. “It would really leave us stranded, but we understand the constraints. It’s good to know they’re not backing out of it and it’s just a logistics problem.” Vaillancourt said she was concerned because it took so long to get the county out to the Cog Road last year with engineers for a study about what repairs it required. She also expressed concern with school buses and emergency service vehi-
cles’ use of the road. During construction, McLau ghlin said there would be no road closures. She said school buses would not be delayed, but motorists could experience minor delays, if any. The Routt County Board of Commissioners in September approved a $1.2 million contract with American Civil Construc tors, the lowest of four bidders for the project. The county received a $582,000 Department of Local Affairs energy impact grant. The county is paying for the rest. The Cog Road slide has been getting worse for years, McLaughlin said. She said the major part of the slide occurred two years ago. When the project to repair it is complete, a wall that will include a guardrail will anchor the road. McLaughlin said work along C.R. 86 at the Elkhead slide in the western part of the county nearly is finished. That project includes widening the road to two lanes.
Police don’t think incidents are related Assault continued from 3 tim. She said deputies are investigating the case but do not think it is related to the attacks reported to the police department. Baumgartner said deputies have been in contact with the suspect. Because the case involves a juvenile and because deputies have not made any arrests, they declined to provide any additional information about the incident. The case was reported through the Routt County Department of Human Services, and it is unknown where in Routt County the reported assault took place. According to police, those
three incidents are the only reported cases of sexual assault in the past two months.
Stranger assaults rare DelValle said it’s unusual for Steamboat Springs police to have two cases of sexual assaults by strangers. “When you have a stranger situation, that’s not typical of what we experience,” he said. “Most of the situations we experience are non-stranger.” A non-stranger case is when “somebody went home with somebody … and things didn’t go according to at least one of the person’s plans,” DelValle said.
Happy Birthday!
Acknowledging the rumors, blog posts and text messages that are making their way through town, Rae said basic precautions are the best way to stay safe. “We don’t have any reason to believe that women are in danger of a serial rapist at large in Steamboat. They are two isolated incidents,” he said. “We’re taking it seriously, and that’s not to discount what women should do to protect themselves.” Rae said men and women should travel with friends when walking at night, be aware of their surroundings and be prepared to defend themselves in the event of an incident.

A trio of triangles
estled between the constellations of Andromeda, Perseus and Pisces is a curious little trio of stellar triangles, visible on crisp November evenings. Each triangle has an interesting history all its own. The upper triangle is the only constellation in the sky that looks exactly like what it is supposed to be. No imagination is required here to pick out the constellation of Triangulum, the Triangle. Ancient Greek astronomers invented Triangulum, perhaps to honor the brilliant work of the great Greek mathematician Pythagoras. Every high school student who has suffered through a geometry class has studied the Pythagorean theorem: in any right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs equals the square of the length of the hypotenuse. One needs to look no further than the stars of Triangulum to be reminded of this important theorem. Of the 88 constellations, only 10 are smaller than Triangulum. Like its much larger neighbor, Andromeda, Triangulum boasts a large spiral galaxy within its borders, M33, or the Pinwheel Galaxy. I’ve glimpsed M33 with the naked eye on exceptionally clear, dark nights, but using

It is smaller and more distant than Andromeda’s famed galaxy, M31, but at 3 million light years away, M33 is still a member of our local group of galaxies. Just below the southern tip of Triangulum is another distinctive triangle of stars. This one marks the head and horns of Aries the Ram, the first constellation of the zodiac. The brightest star in this triangle is named Hamal, meaning “the head of the sheep.” Our constellation of Aries also dates back to the early Greeks, who imagined these stars to be the ram that wore the Golden Fleece, the treasure sought by Jason and the Argonauts in their epic journey. Just below the northern end of Triangulum is a third little triangle of stars. Although this tiny asterism officially lies within the boundaries of Aries, the Ram, it has been identified throughout the ages with a number of now defunct constel-

lations. It first appeared as an asterism separate from Aries in 1612 on a star chart published by Petrus Plancius as Apes the Bee. In 1624, it appeared on a star chart published by Jacob Bartsch as Vespa the Wasp. Then, in 1674, Frenchman Ignace-Gaston Pardies resurrected the little triangle as Lilium the Lilly. It appeared one more time as Musca the Fly, on the famous star atlas published in 1690 by Johannes Hevelius. After that, this little trio of stars was reabsorbed into the constellation of Aries, and it appears as though that will be its permanent home.

Student reworks climbing wall

STEAMBOAT TODAY
Rob Byrnes’ first time climbing was the most memorable. He was 12 years old and staring up at a wall of floor tiles that were stacked horizontally with spaces in between. The only instruction he was given was how to tie the knots on his rock climbing harness. “They just said, ‘Here’s the wall, now go,’” he said. “That was it for me.” Five years later, Byrnes is living in Craig with his family while he finishes up high school as a home-schooled student. Still an avid rock climber and inspired by the lack of opportunities around Moffat County, Byrnes is revamping the climbing wall at Trapper Fitness Center, 261 Commerce St., and hopes to start offering rock climbing classes in the near future. A few months ago, the climbing wall was cluttered and hardly used. It was made up of a few 20–foot tall panels lining a portion of the wall outside the
racquetball courts. Interest had waned to the point that officials planned to send the wall to Rangely when Byrnes discovered it. “Most people I talk to don’t even know there’s a climbing wall in Craig,” he said. Trapper Fitness helped him purchase new, safer ropes for the wall, and harnesses and screws to build new climbing routes with a box full of oddly shaped handholds. The wall is closed to rope climbing until the renovations are finished, but customers can climb without a harness, known as bouldering, as long as their feet don’t go more than 6 feet off the ground. When Byrnes started working on the wall a few hours a week, he met Trapper Fitness employee Ben Hough, 32, of Craig, who shares Byrnes’ passion for climbing in and outdoors. On Thursday afternoon, the two opened a box of new ropes and attached them to the clips at the top. Byrnes wanted to try out a
dyno move, which involves pushing off of one’s feet and jumping to reach for the next hold. Hough stood at the bottom to anchor the rope harness, known to climbers as belaying. Byrnes pressed his feet into the footholds and eyed a large, handle-shaped hold about six feet away from him. He pushed and jumped. The hold was slightly loose and swung around as he grabbed on. His hand slipped and he fell a few feet before Hough caught his weight and slowly lowered him to the ground. “I told him he had to put dynos in,” he said. “But anyone can climb this wall. You can find your own way up.” Hough said the exercise gained from climbing is reason enough to try the sport. “It works your core more than anything else,” Hough said. “And you’re always pulling your own weight so it’s safe that way.” Although Hough thinks there should be more technical moves on the wall, Byrnes said it would be accessible to newcomers.

Donations collected at Hayden First National Bank of the Rockies Soup dinner continued from 2 Ella has had a couple of seizures in the past week, the only time that has happened, but Mosciaro is hopeful they’ll subside as Ella adjusts to the medication. The medication makes Ella drowsy, but Mosciaro said she’s still the same girl she’s always been. “She runs and plays and fights with her brother (Sam) and other kids,” Mosciaro said. “We just have to be careful with
her like any person or child who suffers from seizures.” Mosciaro described Ella a “statistic of one.” “Just because she has this diagnosis and it’s really scary, she won’t necessarily have the symptoms other children have had,” Mosciaro said. Some of those symptoms include developmental delays, which Mosciaro said they haven’t yet seen in Ella. But focal cortical dysplasia also can lead to seizures that can no lon-
ger be controlled by medication and can erase learned tasks. A treatment for that is removing a part of the brain where the seizures originate. Mosciaro said her family was nowhere near considering that option but would continue to monitor Ella to make sure she continues to learn and develop. Mosciaro said she’s grateful for the support Ella has received from the Newborn Network and Horizons Specialized Services in Steamboat Springs and the
Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association. She said the support her family has received, including their church soup dinner, is “phenomenal.” “Not only is this our church family, this is our community,” she said. “I was totally blown away at how this community rallies around each other and lifts everyone up — pays it forward. … We hope to be in a better position and will be able to pay it forward to someone else.”
Barnes said friends and members of the church would bring their favorite soups. And because it’s Ella, Mosciaro said there likely would be green beans at the soup dinner. Those who can’t attend the dinner but would still like to help can donate to an account in Ella Mosciaro’s name at First National Bank of the Rockies in Hayden. — To reach Jack Weinstein, call 871-4203 or e-mail jweinstein@steamboatpilot.com
USO has offered services to veterans since before World War II Dance continued from 6

country music from the 1950s, ’60s, ’70s and ’80s. Event organizers decided they wanted to have a dance and then started talking about the time local veterans spent at United Service Organizations shows and functions, said Valerie Tuthill, president of the Ladies Auxiliary for the Steamboat Veterans of Foreign Wars post. “At one time or another with all our veterans, the USO has touched their lives in one way or another. So they just decided it would be a great opportunity to give back to the USO,” Tuthill said. Proceeds from the dance will go to Colorado branches of the USO, a private, nonprofit organization that has offered services such as family support, community centers and celebrity entertainment tours to the U.S. military since before World War II, according to the USO Web site. Lewis Kemry, a World War II veteran and the Steamboat American Legion Post’s oldest continuous member, said he plans to attend Saturday’s celebration. Kemry remembers occasional USO functions during his service in Europe for the Second World War, which included about a year of occu-
pational service in Austria after fighting ended. “It was something to look forward to, if it was going to be a group from home,” Kemry said. “One time we had a contingent of WACs (members of the Women’s Army Corps) come through, and, well, they just went out of the way to socialize with us guys, and we had to appreci-
ate things like that because we didn’t get much of it.” Saturday’s dance replaces the VFW’s catered Veterans Day dinner. The VFW post and Ladies Auxiliary members will host their usual Veterans Day breakfast at the VFW on Wednesday morning before heading up to the Doak Walker Care Center to honor the holi-
day with residents there. Space for the dance is limited, and an RSVP is recommended by 5 p.m. today for anyone who wants to attend. Tickets are available from Tuthill or Jim Stanko, at the VFW or at the event. — To reach Margaret Hair, call 871-4204 or e-mail mhair@steamboatpilot.com

Council split about charter Craig, ACLU reflect on campaign spending issue after election Collin Smith
CRAIG DAILY PRESS
CRAIG
The Craig City Council was an even split on a ballot question in Tuesday’s election that asked voters whether they wanted to delete a city charter provision on campaign spending. The rule stated that municipal candidates could not spend more than $500 of their own money on their campaigns. Mayor Don Jones and councilors Jennifer Riley and Joe Herod voted to keep the provision, while councilors Ray Beck, Gene Bilodeau and Terry
Carwile voted to delete it. Councilor Byron Willems said he did not vote. “The whole election was a waste of everybody’s money,” Willems said. Craig officials already voided the spending limit this summer after resident Francisco Reina filed a civil suit against the city for charging him with spending more than was allowed in his April campaign for council. The city dismissed its citation against Reina and settled with his attorneys — who were led by the American Civil Liberties Union — to never again enforce the spending cap, unless the U.S.
Supreme Court reverses a 1976 ruling that states such limits violate the right to free speech. However, the city cannot change its charter without a popular vote, one city officials said cost about $8,000. In effect, Willems said, the city paid for an election that doesn’t matter. The majority of council members said they received no calls or comments from residents in the run-up to the election, with the exception of Carwile’s sister, who he said wanted to make sure she understood what the ballot question meant.

Debbie Anderson, of Awesome Shirtworks, all said the lengthy construction project — during a recession — is hurting their sales. “That’s our sandbox,” Hitch cock joked Wednesday, looking out the front window of his Seventh Street store at ground torn up for the box culvert. “The day before yesterday, we had one customer all day, and it was a return — so sales were negative $64.” In talking with construction representatives and city public works staff, business owners have expressed ideas including more advance notice and detail with construction schedules, variances to city sign codes to allow open businesses to promote themselves, more pedestrian access to downtown streets and an increased effort to provide downtown parking where possible. “My big concern is the spring,” Dorris said. “We need to understand, first off, what their exact plan is for ripping the road up and road closures. … And the main thing we need to figure out is how to get locals to these businesses that depend on them.” CDOT spokeswoman Jody Patten said advance notice of spring plans would be provided. The annual meeting of Mainstreet Steamboat Springs on Jan. 15, for example, will include significant discussion about spring construction. “We are hoping to have a phasing and work schedule by January,” said Glenn Violette, of HDR Engineering, which is based in Denver. Patten said she would provide additional updates to business owners and is planning a public meeting in March.
Contact CDOT For information about the reconstruction work on U.S. Highway 40 from 13th to Third street, by the Colorado Department of Transportation through Scott Contracting, call project information manager Jody Patten at 970819-7008, e-mail jody@pattencom. com or visit www.coloradodot.info/ projects/us40Steamboat.
Looking ahead Contractors are hoping the spring’s work goes much smoother than this fall’s. Cody Patterson, site superintendent with Scott Contracting, said his crews ran into unexpected problems — such as unknown utilities — “everywhere” they dug a hole this fall, causing delays in the work. Work in the spring predominantly will be above ground, consisting of tearing up asphalt along Lincoln Avenue and pouring concrete. Patterson said the bulk of that paving would happen at night. Contractors have obtained a noise variance from the city, Violette said, to allow saw-cutting and other heavy work — but no jackhammers — at night in downtown Steamboat in the spring. Watching the weather will be crucial for crews as they tear up asphalt and pour concrete. “There are huge weather risks once we start tearing asphalt,” said CDOT resident engineer Dave Schneider, who is based in Craig. But if everything goes as planned, the repaving will proceed through the spring at Third and 13th streets in Phase 1 and from Fourth to 12th streets in Phase 2 — one side of the street at a time — in a tobe-determined schedule. Scott Contracting has an $80,000 incentive to finish by July 1, Schneider said. Kboudi, who said he is
doing “about half” of expected sales lately, asked contractors Thursday whether some of the spring work could be moved into fall 2010. “You’re talking about three summer tourist weekends,” he said, referring to late June. “I can’t believe that you’re thinking about taking the work into June.” City public works engineer Ben Beall said the project’s schedule already is “very aggressive” and noted the risk of pushing such weather-sensitive work into the fall. The frustration of business owners was apparent at Thursday night’s meeting, which also included ominous anecdotes of falling local sales. “The city of Steamboat Springs has no idea what it’s in for if it’s like this in the spring,” McQuade said, referring to potential losses of sales tax revenues. Anderson said the Lincoln Avenue project was hard to swallow on the heels of new developments including Howelsen Place and Alpen Glow. “You’ve got to understand, we’re coming off two years of downtown construction,” Anderson said. “The frustration level is pent up.” Patterson said his crews are doing all they can to get the job done safely and efficiently — and get off a completed Lincoln Avenue. “We all have the same common goal,” he said. Business owners can call CDOT project information manager Jody Patten at 8197008, e-mail jody@pattencom. com or visit CDOT’s project information Web site at www. coloradodot.info/projects/ us40Steamboat. — To reach Mike Lawrence, call 871-4233 or e-mail mlawrence@steamboatpilot.com

Frontier announced this week it will boost its number of week end flights between Aspen and Denver for the winter. United Express will add weekend flights direct from Chicago for the win ter, said Bill Tomcich, president of Stay Aspen Snowmass, a cen tral bookings business. Tomcich is the local business community’s liaison to the airlines. Frontier has offered four daily flights through its Lynx subsidiary since starting service to Aspen in April 2008.

United Express has increased direct service from Chicago throughout the week. The num ber of flights was increased from two to three from Monday through Friday, from three to five Saturdays, and from three to four Sundays, according to information received Tuesday by Tomcich. As of this week, it appeared United’s remaining schedule is similar to last year. That includes its bread-and-but ter service between Aspen and Denver, as well as direct flights to Aspen from Los Angeles and San Francisco. The increased service by the

The fish in the park include the rare greenback cutthroat trout and other trout species. The next step is to study how changes in algae populations are affecting the rest of the ecosystem, Elser said. “This is filling in some of what we didn’t know before,” said Jill Baron, a scientist with the U.S. Geological Survey and adjunct professor at the Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. Baron has studied air pollution levels in Rocky Mountain National Park since 1981. Her research prompted Vaughn Baker, the park’s superintendent, to push for efforts to cut the pollution. Along with changes to the algae, park biologists blame nitrogen for an increase in sedges, compared to other grasses and flowering plants known as forbs. “One of the main reasons this park was established was for the protection of tundra and alpine areas,” park biologist Jim Cheatham said.

Airborne nitrogen pollution from vehicle exhaust and farm fertilizer is turning algae in the alpine lakes of Rocky Mountain National Park into junk food for fish, a study says. A similar phenomenon is occurring in Sweden and Norway, according to the study of about 90 high-elevation lakes set to be published in the journal Science today. Arizona State University professor James Elser, the study’s lead author, said the effect of airborne nitrogen on once-pristine lakes is greater than previously thought. The nitrogen’s sources include vehicle exhaust, fertilizer used on farms and livestock feed lots and power plant emissions. More nitrogen can reduce long-term lake biodiversity because algae become poor food for other microscopic organisms and, ultimately, fish. The algae are high in nitrogen but low in phosphorous and less nutritious. Previous studies have documented rising nitrogen levels in Rocky Mountain National Park, 70 miles northwest of Denver. Elser likened the algae to junk food. “It’s like eating marshmallows all day and expecting to grow. You can’t do it,” he said Thursday.
■ Science: www.sciencemag.org ■ Rocky Mountain National Park Nitrogen Deposition Reduction Plan: www.cdphe.state.co.us/ap/rmnp/ NDRPAugust07.pdf ■ Rocky Mountain Park: www.nps.gov/romo/index.htm
Park has 60 peaks higher than 12,000 feet. It is home to elk, deer, moose, bighorn sheep, mountain lions, bears and eagles. This year, the National Park Service reported increases in nitrogen-rich ammonium that could change ecosystems in 16 parks across the country. A 2007 plan signed by state and federal officials and Rocky Mountain National Park aims to reduce airborne nitrogen levels throughout 25 years. Researchers said then that nitrogen levels were 20 times more than normal. “We’re admitting that we could never reach the natural levels” because of development elsewhere, Cheatham said. The plan aims to cut nitrogen levels in half, said Mike Silverstein, manager of planning and policy for the Colorado air pollution control division. The nitrogen comes from nitrogen oxide, whose sources include vehicle and power plant emissions, and ammonium, whose sources include livestock feed lots, farms and water treatment plants. Studies show the pollution is coming from the Denver area and northeast Colorado, one of the country’s largest agricultural areas, as well as other states, Silverstein said. Officials hope to cut nitrogen to 1.5 kilograms per hectare, or 2.47 acres. The current average is 3.1 kilograms.
A massive raid on a Colorado tax business catering to immigrants was necessary to uncover the crime of identity theft and authorities needed the thousands of confidential documents they seized to build their case, Weld County attorneys said Thursday. The attorneys are asking the Colorado Supreme Court to overturn a lower court ruling that stopped an identity theft investigation that prosecutors said could lead to as many as 1,300 suspected illegal immigrants being charged. Prosecutors alleged the tax documents proved that those immigrants were working with false or stolen names and Social Security numbers. But an attorney for the ACLU, which successfully sued Weld County this year to prevent the district attorney
from filing more cases, argued authorities violated people’s privacy when they inspected as many as 5,000 confidential tax documents without having the names of specific suspects. A judge had agreed with the ACLU, ruling that the search warrant to inspect the tax documents lacked probable cause and violated people’s privacy. Three other district judges issued similar rulings in cases that also stemmed from the probe. “Look, there is no nice way to characterize this search. This is a classic fishing expedition,” said Liz Harris, an ACLU attorney. Whether authorities broke the law with their investigative methods is at the heart of the case. It also illustrates the difficulty of prosecuting identify theft cases, particularly through the use of tax records, which are confidential under federal law. No one disputes that some of the immigrants were breaking
the law by using false identities to work. Michael J. Rourke, an attorney representing Weld County, said it was impossible for investigators to be more specific in their search warrant request. “In large part because of the nature of identity theft itself, the investigators didn’t know what individuals were falsely using names and Social Security numbers,” he said. Weld County seized the returns last year from a tax preparation firm that catered to Latinos in Greeley, where Hispanics make up about a third of the population. More charges were expected, and prosecutors in other states expressed interest in Weld County’s use of tax documents to go after illegal immigrants. Immigrant advocacy groups have said the county is the only jurisdiction to use tax records — which are confidential under federal law — to prosecute illegal immigrants.
COLORADO
AROUND COLORADO DILLON
Medical marijuana dispensa ries have been banned, for now, in one Summit County town. The Dillon city council has voted down regulations that would have allowed dispen saries. The town is just a few miles east of Breckenridge, where voters this week made marijuana in small amounts legal for adults. Tuesday’s vote in Dillon extends a pot shop moratorium until Feb. 13. Already two dis pensaries are open elsewhere in Summit County, with more expected soon in Breckenridge after that town approved dis pensary rules. Towns across Colorado are struggling to figure out how to regulate medical marijuana shops. The growth of pot shops has led some to call on the state legislature to lay down a state wide law regulating dispensaries.
Nurse accused of stealing medicine tests negative BOULDER
A Boulder hospital says a former nurse accused of using needles intended for patients to steal pain medication has again tested negative for HIV and hepatitis. Boulder Community Hospi tal reported Thursday that the latest test results mean there is no evidence patients were exposed to the diseases because of Ashton Daigle’s actions. The 27-year-old Fort Collins man was accused of stealing pain medication meant for as many as 290 patients at the hos pital. He reached a deal with prosecutors in June, pleading guilty to five criminal counts. Prosecutors dropped 173 other charges. Hospital officials said Daigle was tested three times, the last more than a year after he left the hospital. They said signs of HIV or hepatitis are identifiable within six months of exposure.
Focus on the Family helps Maine fight gay marriage COLORADO SPRINGS
Conservative Christian group Focus on the Family donated just more than $115,000 to the fight against gay marriage in Maine. On Tuesday, voters in the state backed repealing a law allowing same-sex marriage that had passed the Legislature and been signed by the governor. Focus on the Family also was involved in the fight in Washington State over a law expanding rights for gay cou ples through civil unions. The Colorado Springs-based group gave $91,000 to the campaign
opposing that measure, which voters approved. Tom Minnery, senior vice president of Focus Action, the group’s political arm, said it would have donated more were it not for Washington’s cam paign finance limits. In Maine, Focus’ total dona tion was $115,266.
Homeless veterans can get help at Stand Down event DENVER
Homeless veterans can get a hot meal, clothing, a flu shot and other help at the annual Homeless Veterans Stand Down at the Denver National Guard Armory. Help available Thursday includes dental screenings, hair cuts, sleeping bags, boots and repairs for hearing aids and glasses. More than 460 homeless vets got help last year. “Stand down” is a military term for a temporary halt in an offensive. The federal Department of Veterans Affairs, Social Security and other agencies will be on hand to help with benefits, hous ing referrals and legal services. Similar events have taken place or are in the works in about 60 cities nationwide. The VA estimates that nation wide, about 131,000 veterans are homeless on any given night.

Dad of slain Denver girl sentenced on drug charge DENVER
A man whose 10-year-old daughter was killed during an armed robbery at his home has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for possession of mari juana with intent to distribute. During a sentencing hearing Thursday in Denver, 31-yearold Leo “Mickey” Cisneros said he was sorry for the decisions he made. His daughter, Auralia, died in a gun battle after three robbers broke into Cisneros’ apartment Nov. 26, 2007. Prosecutors argued that Cisneros put his daughter in
danger by dealing marijuana out of his apartment, making it the target of robbers. Jurors acquitted Cisneros of reckless child abuse resulting in death but convicted him on the drug charge.

CSU ending partnership with wind farm developer FORT COLLINS
Colorado State University is ending its partnership with a company that has been helping to build a wind farm to power its campus. CSU says it still intends to build the $500 million project on its Maxwell Ranch near the Wyoming border. However, the decision to part ways with Wind Holding LLC means much of the planning and preliminary work will have to be redone. The project was announced in March 2007 and CSU had expected the farm to be operat ing in 2010. CSU’s Bill Farland says Wind Holding lost its major financial backer and had trouble paying subcontractors and consultants. He told the Coloradoan that other devel opers remain interested in the project.

baaaaack... Chriss is seeing patients again! Monday/ Wednesday/Friday Beginning at 7:00 am
A military mental health doctor facing deployment overseas opened fire at the Fort Hood Army post Thursday, setting off on a rampage that killed 12 people and left 31 wounded, Army officials said. Authorities said immediately after the shootings that they had killed the suspected shooter, but later in the evening they recanted and said that he was alive and in stable condition at a hospital, watched by a guard. The shooting began at about 1:30 p.m., when shots were fired at the base’s Soldier Readiness Center, where soldiers who are about to be deployed or who are returning undergo medical screening, said Lt. Gen. Bob Cone at Fort Hood. “It’s a terrible tragedy. It’s stunning,” Cone said. A law enforcement official identified the shooting suspect as Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case publicly. Two other soldiers taken into custody following the deadly rampage have been released, Fort Hood spokesman Christopher Haug said. “They’re not believed to be involved in the incident,” Haug said. He said a third person was in custody, however. It was unclear what the
12
motive was. U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison said the Army major was about to deploy overseas, though it was unclear if he was headed to Iraq or Afghanistan and when he was scheduled to leave. Hutchison said she was told about the upcoming deployment by generals based at Fort Hood. Military officials say Hasan, 39, was a psychiatrist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center for six years before being transferred to the Texas base in July. The officials, who had access to Hasan’s military record, said he received a poor performance evaluation while at Walter Reed. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because military
records are confidential. The Virginia-born soldier was single with no children. He graduated from Virginia Tech, where he was a member of the ROTC and earned a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry in 1997. He received his medical degree from the military’s Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md., in 2001. At Walter Reed, he did his internship, residency and a fellowship. Officials were investigating whether Hasan was his birth name or if he may have changed his name, possibly as part of a conversion to Islam. However, they were not certain of his religion.
Productivity gains bad news for jobless

Employers find ways to do more with less amid poor economy Martin Crutsinger and Stephen Manning 20521147
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON
Companies across the nation are finding ways to do more with fewer workers, dimming hopes that hiring will take off anytime soon. Employers became leaner and more efficient in the third quarter. Wages, meantime, remain flat or falling. The result is that productivity — output per hour of work — jumped at the fastest pace in six years. The good news for companies, though, may be bad news for the jobless. As long as companies can get their workers to produce more, they have little reason to hire — at least until consumer spending picks up. And the squeeze on incomes could depress consumer spending, putting the economic recovery at risk. Still, some economists were encouraged by the productivity
report. They say that eventually, employers won’t be able to squeeze more from their staffs. They will then have to ramp up hiring — something that could happen next year, even though the jobless rate is expected to hit double digits. Productivity rose at an annual rate of 9.5 percent in the JulySeptember quarter, the Labor Department said Thursday. That was much better than the 6.4 percent gain economists had expected. Unit labor costs fell at a 5.2 percent rate. While companies aren’t doing much hiring, they’re not cutting as many workers, either. The number of newly laid-off workers filing claims for unemployment benefits last week decreased to the lowest level in 10 months. On Wall Street, the betterthan-expected jobless claims report and an upbeat forecast from Cisco Systems buoyed investors. The Dow Jones industrial average added nearly 204
points to 10,005.96, and broader indexes also gained. The 9.5 percent productivity rise followed a 6.9 percent surge in the second quarter and was the fastest since a 9.7 percent increase in the third quarter of 2003.

In New York, health officials are allowing businesses with onsite medical staff to apply for the vaccine. Doctors for large companies can ask for the vaccine along with other doctors but must agree to vaccinate only highrisk employees such as pregnant women and those with chronic illnesses, said Jessica Scaperotti, a spokeswoman for New York City’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Ohio woman says she escaped terror Doss: I got away from suspect in Cleveland serial killing case CLEVELAND
20468082
Suspected serial killer An thony Sowell seemed like a “civi lized person” on the April eve ning that Tanja Doss went up to his third-floor bedroom for a beer — until, she said, he leapt up and began choking her and threatening to kill her. The 43-year-old woman told The Associated Press on Thursday that she survived a
night of terror through a com bination of calm and cajoling, prayer and trickery. But when she escaped the next morning, she didn’t tell police. Her past conviction on a drug charge, she said, made it unlikely they’d take her seriously. “Now, I feel bad about it,” she said, “because my best friend might be one of the bodies.” Police and a cadaver dog re-entered the home Thursday where Sowell apparently lived among the reeking, rotting corpses of 10 women and the paper-wrapped skull of anoth er in a basement bucket. The ex-Marine, who served 15 years in prison for attempted rape, is being held without bail on five aggravated murder charges. Just days after her own escape, Doss was helping search for her friend Nancy Cobbs. Now Cobbs is among about two dozen miss ing women whose friends and family fear fell victim to Sowell. Only two victims have been identified so far — Tonia Carmichael, 52, of Warrensville Heights, and Telacia Fortson, 31, of Cleveland. Doss believes she only nar rowly escaped the fate of those dug up from Sowell’s yard. She had met Sowell in 2005, after his prison release, but didn’t know the real reason for his sen tence. She found him to be “a
civilized person, sitting outside drinking beer, a nice person.” So she didn’t hesitate to join him for a drink. “And then he just clicked. I’m sitting on the corner of the bed, and he just leaped up and came over and started choking me,” she said. Shocked, Doss said she lay back and tried not to strug gle. “He said, ‘If you want to live, knock three times on the floor.’ And I knocked on the floor.” Still holding her throat, he told her using several profanities that she could be “dead in the street” and no one would care. Sowell made her strip and lay on the bed, she said, but did not attempt to rape her. Doss said she curled up in a ball and tried to talk him down, saying things like, “Why you gotta act like that?” Then she prayed to herself, and eventually, both fell asleep. She awoke in the morning with Sowell acting as if nothing had happened, she said, asking whether she wanted something from the store. She picked up her cell phone and pretended to call her daugh ter, then claimed her grand daughter had the flu. When Sowell left for the store, she went in the other direction, she said. She didn’t report the confron tation because “my background ain’t squeaky clean,” she said.

House Democratic leaders push for vote of health care measure Erica Werner and Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON
President Barack Obama trumpeted two major endorse ments for his health overhaul push Thursday as House Democratic leaders pushed toward a vote Saturday on the far-reaching legislation remak ing the U.S. health care system. “I am extraordinarily pleased and grateful to learn that the AARP and the American Medical Association are both supporting the health insurance reform bill that will soon come up to vote in the House of Representatives,” Obama said in an unannounced visit to the White House briefing room. AARP is “no small endorse ment,” Obama said about the 40-million strong seniors’ lobby. “We are closer to passing this reform than ever before,” Obama said. “Now that the doctors and medical profes sionals of America are standing with us, now that the organiza tions charged with looking out
for the interests of seniors are standing with us, we are even closer.” Obama spoke as House Democratic leaders sought to resolve final disputes before bringing their 10-year, $1.2 trillion health bill to the floor Saturday. Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said lead ers expect to have the 218 votes needed to pass the sweeping bill, which would extend coverage to tens of millions of unin sured people and ban insurance companies from turning people away. Hoyer acknowledged the vote could be tight, though, and timing of action in the Senate remains uncertain. “I wouldn’t refer to it as a squeaker, but I think it’s going to be close,” Hoyer said in an interview with wire service reporters. “This is a huge under taking.” The Maryland Democrat said language on abortion and illegal immigrants still was being worked out but predicted those issues could be solved by Saturday.

Success at Copenhagen “depends very much on President Obama himself, on ... whether he can put numbers on the table or not,” Runge-Metzger said. Legislation working its way through Congress would reduce U.S. emissions by about 4 percent below 1990 levels. The Europeans and developing countries have complained, however, about the Washington’s “low ambitions.” Former Vice President Al Gore, who won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize along with the U.N.

With the U.S. Congress still struggling to agree on sharp cuts in greenhouse gases or how to fund them, European officials said Thursday they were now striving for a political agreement instead of a new treaty to allow the U.S. and other rich nations to make commitments that are not legally binding. The revised thinking was an implicit admission of defeat: the two-year timetable for crafting a landmark treaty will miss its deadline, and that failure threatens to deepen the distrust between rich countries and poor nations reeling from drought and failing crops caused by persistently warmer weather. The treaty had been due to be completed in December at a 192-nation conference in Copenhagen, Denmark. European and U.N. officials are now suggesting a political deal, rather than a legal accord, that would rely on commitments from both wealthy and developing countries. Industrial countries would commit to firm targets for reducing emissions of heat-trapping carbon dioxide and allocating funds for poor countries, while developing countries would specify their plans for low-carbon growth. Such a deal would not be legally binding, but would carry the authority of world leaders who would come to Copenhagen to sign off on it. Nations would
agree to stick to their promises while they continue negotiating the details of a treaty, taking as long as another year. The delay is significant. The only instrument for controlling carbon emissions, the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, expires in 2012. Unless a new treaty is in place by then, no regulations will exist, threatening chaos among industries relying on predictable rules for their business development. “People are more and more talking about a framework ... that you clarify further in the following months,” said Artur Runge-Metzger, chief delegate from the European Union Commission. Despite the troubled passage of U.S. legislation, delegates at the U.N. talks in Spain had not given up hope the Obama

A weirdly funny comedy that seriously claims to be based on an actual U.S. Army interest in using paranormal soldiers as weapons. Ewan McGregor plays a reporter who encounters George Clooney, a “Jedi Warrior” graduate of this secret program; flashbacks show Jeff Bridges as an officer who seems very much like the Big Lebowski.

An exhilarating visual experience that proves for the third time that Robert Zemeckis is one of the few directors who know what they’re doing with 3-D. The story that Charles Dickens wrote in 1838 remains timeless, and if it’s supercharged here with Scrooge swooping the London streets as freely as Superman, well, once you let ghosts into a movie, there’s room for anything. In motion-capture animation, Jim Carrey does the movements and voice of Ebenezer Scrooge. Rating: ★★★★ 20537867

‘Michael Jackson’s This Is It’ Music documentary, PG, 112 minutes
“This is it,” Michael Jackson told his fans in London, announcing his forthcoming concert tour. “This is the final curtain call.” The curtain fell sooner than expected. What is left is this extraordinary documentary, nothing at all like what I was expecting to see. Here is not a sick and drugged man forcing himself through grueling rehearsals, but a spirit embodied by music. 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. Rating: ★★★★
‘Where the Wild Things Are’ Children’s Fantasy, PG, 110 minutes
Maurice Sendak’s muchloved 1963 children’s book becomes a big-budget fantasy, with particularly good realizations of his Wild Things, creatures on an island visited in the imagination of a small boy (Max Records). But the plot is simple stuff, spread fairly thin by director Spike Jonze and writer Dave Eggers. Rating: ★★★

‘Couples Retreat’
Chief Plaza Theater
Comedy, PG-13, 107 minutes
Four troubled couples make a week’s retreat to an island paradise where they hope to be healed, which indeed happens, according to ages-old sitcom formulas. The jolly ending is agonizing in its step-by-step obligatory plotting. Starring Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman, Faizon Love, Jon Favreau, Malin Akerman, Kristen Bell, Kristin Davis and Kali Hawk. Rating: ★★
‘The Informant!’ Comedy/thriller, R, 108 minutes
Matt Damon stars as the highest-ranking executive in U.S. history to blow the whistle in a case of corporate fraud. He exposed global price-fixing by Archer Daniels Midland, the Decatur, Ill., agribusiness conglomerate, after wearing an FBI wire for 30 months. Along the way, incidentally, he was embezzling $9 million for his own use, a detail he neglected to share with the FBI. Rating: ★★★★ — Roger Ebert
‘Law Abiding Citizen’ Thriller, R, 107 minutes
“Law Abiding Citizen” is a glib, brutal and preposterous revenge fantasy, a take-thelaw-in-your-own-hands rabble rouser that taps into a lot of fears and genuine gripes about the American legal system. 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. Rating: ★★
‘Saw VI’ Horror, R, 93 minutes
It’s still torture porn, more excruciating than scary. It’s still all about the elaborate and gory “games” the victims must win in order to survive Jigsaw’s test of character, redemption and humanity. Body parts are lost, guts spill and sharp objects pierce to the sound of screams in the night. But this script, by Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, has a more satiric bite, than any of the other “Saw” sequels. Rating: ★★ — Roger Moore

Hip-hop the Hard Way
Denver band one of many similar acts coming to Ghost Ranch Margaret Hair
PILOT & TODAY STAFF
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS
In its positively themed, sample-based music, Denver hiphop trio 3 the Hard Way sticks to the “three paths, three roads, one mission” motto preached by leadman David Romero. Romero, who raps as A.V.I.U.S., takes the stage with the rest of 3 the Hard Way — producer Es Nine and DJ Cysko Rokwel — tonight at Ghost Ranch Saloon. The show starts at 9 p.m. with Salt Lake City-based hip-hop group MindState opening. Tickets are $5 at the door. A.V.I.U.S. and his band have been performing for about two years. In that time, 3 the Hard Way has toured with Dilated Peoples and Sweatshop Union and has won major accolades for its debut album “Set in Stone,” which came out in February. The three members of 3 the Hard Way come from varied backgrounds, but the music that ties them together is the same, Romero said in a phone interview Thursday. “We all grew up on early ’90s hip-hop, like A Tribe Called Quest, DJ Premier, things like that — classic boom-bap hiphop is what we consider it. … And we all have wanted to basically push our musical abilities to the limits and make people understand where it is we come

from and how we live our life and how we use our music to openly express ourselves,” Romero said. Today’s show is one of several hip-hop sets coming to the Ghost Ranch Saloon in November. The schedule falls in with new venue promoter and hip-hop advocate Andrew Lindsley’s plan to bring at least one full-force hip-hop show to the Ghost Ranch each month. Lindsley, who cooks in the Ghost Ranch kitchen, approached venue co-owner Amy Garris about promoting hip-hop shows for the business. Garris asked if he’d like to do the same for all the venue’s acts, and Lindsley jumped at the chance, he said. “I absolutely love the opportunity that I have in front of me. … I’ve been waiting for this day for a while,” Lindsley said. For the past few years, Lindsley slowly has been build-
ing a reputation as the guy who will hand you a show flier any time you see him. He’s worked to bring in outside hip-hop acts and encourage local hip-hop talent at Steamboat venues including Wired Lounge, The Tap House Sports Grill, Old Town Pub, Amante Coffee, Ghost Ranch Saloon and Mahogany Ridge Brewery and Grill. Lindsley hopes the experience he’s built as a promoter and as a musician — he raps under the name Ocelot — will help him come up with frequent hip-hop show suggestions for Ghost Ranch booking agent David Arthur. “I really think we can’t go any longer than four weeks without doing a hip-hop show if we’re trying to make this a venue that becomes a circulation on everyone’s tour route,” Lindsley said. In the next several weeks, Ghost Ranch has nights booked with 3 the Hard Way, CunninLynguists and Grieves on Nov. 29, MTHDS on Dec. 4, and Ugly Duckling on Dec. 18. Lindsley hopes to keep those acts consistent in their stops at Ghost Ranch and use local or regional emcees and DJs to fill out the night. Local act DJ Also Starring is set to play a couple of nights a week through the winter, he said. — To reach Margaret Hair, call 871-4204 or e-mail mhair@steamboatpilot.com

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS
Forget the lions, tigers and bears. Paris’ Pompidou Center plans to fill a colorful circus big top with Picassos, Matisses and Calders instead, creating a roving museum to take its masterpieces of modern art to France’s culturally deprived rural regions and rough suburbs. The so-called “Pompidou Mobile” aims to be just as avant-garde in its design as the original Pompidou Center — the audacious, tube-covered structure that houses the city’s
premier contemporary art museum and caused a furor when it opened in 1977. Only part of the necessary funding has been raised, and no itinerary has been drawn up. Visiting the roving Pompidou will be free, and the project’s priorities are rural regions and the poor, crime-ridden suburbs that ring France’s cities but are often largely cut off from the cultural offerings there. “It’s about bringing art to the people to awaken their desire to go toward the art,” the Pompidou’s president, Alain Seban, said in a statement. “It’s a sign of our openness.”
Architect Patrick Bouchain, whose firm specializes in circus tents and other collapsable structures, showed sketches of his design for the new Pompidou structure at a presentation Thursday: several triangle-shaped modules that can be fitted together to create different structures fitted to the different environments in which the museum will pitch its tent. Inside the high-tech canvas structure, solid glass and plastic encasements will protect the artwork from vandalism and theft and keep the temperature and humidity constant, Bouchain said.

Berlin loves Beyonce. The R&B superstar scooped up three wins Thursday at the 16th annual MTV Europe Music Awards, including trophies for best female, best song for “Halo” and best video for her No. 1 smash, “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It.)” When she won the best video award, she thanked Jay-Z — who just happens to be her husband — for “putting a ring on it.” Jay-Z also was honored, winning MTV Europe’s best urban act — though he said he looked
forward to the day when “all those awards come down” that it’s just music, plain and simple, adding “Danke schoen” (thank you in German) before leaving the stage. Other winners included Green Day, the established trio whose punk-influenced tunes have garnered it a fan legion worldwide. The trio won the award for best rock act while U2, which earlier Thursday performed a six-song mini-set in front of the German capital’s iconic Brandenburg Gate, won best live act. U2 frontman Bono paid tribute to Berlin, which marks the 20th anniversary of the collapse of the Berlin Wall on
Monday, for its grit and determination. The band recorded its LP “Achtung Baby” in the city and drew inspiration from reunification to write its oftplayed single “One.” German pop quartet Tokio Hotel, which has toured steadfastly and built up a fan base outside of Germany, won best group and played a set that saw its amps and equipment light up in organized pyrotechnics. Lady Gaga took best new act though she was not in person, having had to stay in New York, and Eminem took best male, beating out Kanye West, Mika, Robbie Williams and Jay-Z for award. Turkey’s maNga took home the best European act,
giving Turkey the award for the second consecutive year — last year the country’s Emre Aydin scored a trophy. Katy Perry, who hosted the show for the second consecutive year, lauded Berlin and Germany, citing its history of division by the wall, and sported a bevy of toned-down yet sultry costumes that hearkened back to Berlin’s Weimar-era of hedonism and decadence. The telecast also featured performances by Foo Fighters, Leona Lewis and Shakira. Berlin is the only city to host the awards show twice, a decision MTV said it made to mark the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Wall’s collapse.

Have you found that continual work on that chronic sore place has not been successful? Working on symptoms alone may not be effective, because it does not take into account your whole body. To affect the symptom the whole pattern may need to be reorganized.
No Doubt has sued video game maker Activision for putting words in band members’ mouths. The band on Wednesday sued Activision Publishing about a feature in the new “Band Hero” game that allows players to control virtual band members and have them sing other artists’ songs. The lawsuit claims a feature allows players to have lead singer Gwen Stefani perform suggestive lyrics from the Rolling Stones’ hit “Honky Tonk Women.” The suit also notes a virtual version of bassist Tony Kanal can be made to sing his band’s hit “Just a Girl,” but with Stefani’s voice. The game, an offshoot of
Activision’s popular “Guitar Hero” series, went on sale Tuesday. The company, which is based in Santa Monica, Calif., said in a statement that it engaged in extensive negotiations with No Doubt’s management and have a valid written agreement for their participation in “Band Hero.” “As a result, Activision believes it is within its legal rights with respect to the use and portrayal of the band members in the game and that this lawsuit is without merit,” the statement said. “Activision is exploring its own legal options with respect to No Doubt’s obligations under the agreement.” No Doubt’s lawsuit states the band objected to the “Character Manipulation Feature” in “Band Hero” that allows play-
ers to use No Doubt’s likeness to perform other bands’ songs, but Activision refused to change the game. The feature turns the band “into a virtual karaoke circus act,” the lawsuit claims. The band is seeking unspecified damages and an order barring Activision from using band members’ likeness to perform other artists’ songs. In September, the widow and former bandmates of the late Kurt Cobain said they were dismayed that the likeness of the Nirvana frontman could be used to play songs by other artists in “Guitar Hero 5.” Activision said they secured the necessary rights from the Cobain estate in a written agreement to use the singer’s likeness as a fully playable character.

Rihanna said Thursday that she regrets going back to exboyfriend Chris Brown after he left her bruised and battered during a February assault, warning other women facing domestic violence to not let themselves become blinded by love. “It’s completely normal to go back. You start lying to yourself,” the 21-year-old singer said on “Good Morning America” in her first TV interview following the beating. “I’ll say that to any young girl who is going through domestic violence: ‘Don’t react off of love.”’ Brown, 20, was arrested Feb. 8, hours after he was accused of beating Rihanna after the
couple attended a pre-Grammy Awards party. He later pleaded guilty to felony assault and a judge ordered Brown and Rihanna to stay away from each other. In the interview, Rihanna, who is no longer with Brown, said she was ashamed to go back to him after the attack. “That’s embarrassing — that’s the type of person I fell in love with. So far in love, so unconditional, that I went back,” she said. “That’s not what I want to teach people.” The attack occurred in Los Angeles’ Hancock Park neighborhood as Brown drove a rented sports car. A Los Angeles police detective described a brutal attack in a search warrant affidavit filed in the case, stating Brown hit,
choked and bit Rihanna and tried at one point to push her from the car. A photo of her bruised face was circulated on the Internet. In an interview with Glamour magazine, posted online Tuesday, she said about the leaked photo, “I felt like people were making it into a fun topic on the Internet, and it’s my life.” In her interview with “Good Morning America,” Rihanna said she soon realized that, as a role model to young women, her returning to Brown sent the wrong message. “When I realized that my selfish decision for love could result in some young girl getting killed, I could not be easy with that part. I couldn’t be held responsible for telling them, ‘Go back,”’ she said.

Outside magazine features 4 locals Lodwick among chosen models Joel Reichenberger PILOT & TODAY STAFF
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS
Olympian Todd Lodwick, rancher Jerad Iacovetto, Honey Stinger sales manager Adam Spector and golf pro Luke Brosterhous would seem to share little in common other than a 970 area code. But another similarity emerged in the spring when each got the unexpected opportunity to be fashion models for Outside maga zine. The popular magazine for out door enthusiasts usually uses its ink to print Jon Krakauer stories and highlight the newest gear. The November issue, however, fea tures Lodwick, Iacovetto, Spector and Brosterhous as models in the magazine’s monthly Style section. Lodwick was featured on the cover of the edition mailed to subscribers. The newsstand edi tion of the issue does not feature Lodwick on the cover. “It was pretty cool,” Lodwick said Thursday. “You know the economy is going to pot when a Nordic guy is on the cover.” The photo shoot took place in April, and the Steamboat four some was in awe at the lengths Outside went to make them spar kle. “They had a whole hotel room full of boxes of clothes for us to wear,” said Brosterhous, who has worked as a golf pro and Alpine ski coach in Steamboat for nine years. “I really wasn’t expecting to see that kind of production.” He said a New York photog rapher with two assistants, as well as two Los Angeles stylists, helped bring out everyone’s best side. The group spent a day and a half shooting at Steamboat Ski Area just days after the resort closed for the season. It was, above all else, a unique experience, Iacovetto said. He is photographed modeling a $160 pair of Polo Ralph Lauren jeans. “I’ve never owned a pair that cost more than $60,” he said. See Outside, page 33

A one-week delay wasn’t what most Steamboat Springs High School cross-country team members were hoping for before the state meet, but the Sailors hope to take advantage of the change of schedule at the competition now set for 9:30 a.m. Saturday at Fossil Ridge High School in Fort Collins.

planned, it would have been a snowy disaster. Even before the storm, however, the Sailors expected to have to slog through a muddy mess. Now they’re hopeful a week of warm weather will result in a hardened track. “They get that one last chance to run fast times, and they are excited about that,” Reust said. The team essentially repeated its workout from the week prior, one designed to ease the team into the most pressure-packed meet of the season. Reust said it was a little wor-
risome that two weeks of easy practices will lead up to the meet instead of the carefully designed schedule that had athletes designed to peak last week. Still, he said he and the team were confident heading in to state. “We did gear everything toward being ready last week, but everyone is in the same boat,” he said. “What it will come down to Saturday is which kids are mentally tough enough to fight through it and get the job done.” — To reach Joel Reichenberger, call 871-4253 or e-mail jreichenberger@steamboatpilot.com

all season. If Glenwood can neutralize a dangerous Steamboat offense, the game could turn into a low-scoring slugfest. “They’re big, fast and athletic,” Finch said. Giving quarterback Austin Hinder “time will be a challenge. Finding space to run is going to be a challenge.” But if Steamboat needs any extra motivation, the team just has to look at last year’s regularseason-ending loss to Glenwood. There, the Demons outplayed the Sailors in every part of the game, reaching an easy 47-0 win. “I hope they never forget a game like that where we embarrassed ourselves and let a good team embarrass us,” Finch said. “The reality is you don’t forget. They came up here and stuck it to us. They did a good job of it. Some of that feeling we have is to let them know we’re a little better than last year.”

offs. The loss relegated Palisade to a sixth seed and a first-round loss. Add in that Glenwood’s potential playoff life is at stake. A loss would drop Glenwood into a three-way tie for second place with Palisade and Delta. With only three guaranteed spots in the playoffs from the league, Glenwood could potentially have to bank on Wild Card points to earn a spot. A win, however, would guarantee a playoff spot. “I’m not sure how the tiebreaker works,” Whitworth said. “I leave that up to the athletic director. Honestly, I’m not sure how it will work. We’re just looking at (today) as the only thing that matters.” Steamboat has secured a playoff spot. When it comes to play on the field, Glenwood has become more of a running team than it was the past couple of seasons. But this might be a matchup that comes down to defenses. Glenwood probably has the best defensive line and core of linebackers Steamboat has seen
ing on scheduling anyway. He’s been very integral in getting that done. He knows what schedules need to be done and what needs to be completed.” DeWolfe was approached about filling the position and took some time with his family to decide what to do. After thinking about it, DeWolfe said it was an opportunity he wanted to explore. “I know I have a lot to learn,” he said. “It will be a challenge, but hopefully I can help the district, the kids and the coaches.” DeWolfe enters the job with more than 10 years of experience as a coach. He coached football, track and basketball at Highland
High School before coming to Steamboat. He’ll continue to coach basketball at Steamboat, but he said he was unsure whether he would coach track. He was scheduled to be a co-head coach with Steam boat cross-country coach Andy Reust. A full-time substitute will take over DeWolfe’s role as a physical education teacher. Taulman said earlier that the school district would wait until March or April to advertise for a full-time athletic director. DeWolfe said he wanted to see how the job goes before thinking about the long-term possibilities. — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

Hurdle hired as Rangers hitting coach manager, takes over the job that Jaramillo held for 15 years before turning down a one-year deal at the end of the season. Jaramillo then got a three-year contract to become hitting coach for the Chicago Cubs. While talking about a Rangers lineup that includes Michael Young, Ian Kinsler and Josh Hamilton and has what Hurdle called a “unique combination of speed and power,” he talked about wanting to be consistent in manufacturing runs. “The team-oriented approach really resonated with us,” said general manager Jon Daniels, who was previously in the Rockies organization. “It is more than mechanics and swinging the bat, but kind of an overall approach to what we wanted to accomplish.” Texas hit .260 last season, 11th in the American League, but were
second with 224 homers. Even with rookies Derek Holland and Tommy Hunter becoming mainstays in the starting rotation, Texas pitchers had a 4.38 ERA, the lowest since 1993, and 0.99 lower than last season, the best improvement in the majors. “I felt like we needed some presence. I felt like we needed some experience and we needed immediate impact. Clint brings that,” Rangers manager Ron Washington said. “He has always made everyone accountable.” Hurdle was the Rockies manager for seven-plus seasons before being fired in May. He had a 534-625 record and led Colorado to the 2007 World Series as an National League wild card team. Before becoming manager, Hurdle was the team’s hitting coach for five-plus seasons, a span during which the Rockies batted better than .290 twice, the NL’s top two averages in 70 years. Hurdle was a manager in the
Mets minor league system for six seasons. When he was the manager at Triple-A Tidewater in 1992, Washington was on his staff and got his first managerial experience. Washington said Hurdle let him manage the last two games that season to get some experience before taking over a Class A team the next year. “I thought that was cool, something I’ve never forgotten,” Washington said. Colorado had offered Hurdle, 52, a position in the front office, but he felt he could make a bigger impact to a team still in uniform. “I have an itch still needing to be scratched,” Hurdle said. “I feel this is where I can make the greatest contribution.” Texas chose Hurdle from four finalists interviewed Monday. The others were former Rangers player Rusty Greer; former Oakland hitting coach Thad Bosley; and Gerald Perry, who has been a hitting coach for Seattle, Pittsburgh, Oakland and the Cubs.
Broncos try to kick trend of slow starts Pat Graham

The Denver Broncos’ 6-1 start puts them among the league’s elite. Their inability to score on their opening drive, however, places them among some dubious company. The Broncos have been outscored, 39-24, in the first quarter, and they’ve trailed at halftime four straight weeks. They learned Sunday at Baltimore that they can’t keep counting on their second-half surges to carry them. Denver joins Oakland, Kansas City and Houston as the only teams not to score on their opening offensive possession yet this season, according to STATS LLC. So, why has the Broncos
offense sputtered out of the starting blocks? Mistakes, poor play calls, bad protection — the list is long. The Broncos know they can’t afford to start slowly against Pittsburgh on Monday night because the Steelers (5-2) are one of the league’s fastest starters, and playing from behind isn’t the forte of Josh McDaniels’ low-risk offense. “(There is) kind of just a lack of execution to start the game,” quarterback Kyle Orton said. “It is going to be a critical point in this game ... We certainly can’t expect to win if we are down 10-0 or 14-0 to start off the game. We are going to have to figure it out and get it going by Monday.” McDaniels has never been a
coach to rely on a scripted set of plays, preferring to keep an open mind. That’s contrary to some coaches in the league, who painstakingly plan out the first 15 or so offensive snaps. “I mean, I have some things that I want to do early in the game,” McDaniels said. “But no, I’ve never been a big fan of just scripting because the ball could be anywhere on the field and certain situations dictate that you don’t want to call that there or what have you ... It’s never been something I’ve done.” Orton, on the other hand, is used to a more scripted offense dating back to his days in Chicago. But he doesn’t think that’s a reason for Denver’s lukewarm starts.
Photo shoot arranged through Chamber Outside continued from 31 That’s still the case. The models weren’t allowed to keep their clothes. Spector, meanwhile, marveled at the post-production work. The national sales manager at Honey Stinger said midway through a day of shooting, a dog bit through the jacket that had been supplied for him and the down stuffing erupted through the hole. There’s no evidence of as much in the photos, though. “They made us all look a lot better than we do,” he said. All said the experience —
arranged through the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association — was novel and fun. Calls from forgotten friends have become regular, as has relentless razzing around the office and town. Iacovetto, unsure how his oneday stint as a fashion model will go over among the other ranch hands at Saddleback Ranch, is determined to keep the photos under wraps. “They’re probably never going to see it,” he said, laughing. “I’m at least going to try to keep it away from them, anyhow.”

Clint Hurdle plans to have a simple philosophy as hitting coach of the Texas Rangers, emphasizing a team-oriented approach and doing whatever it takes to score one more run than the opponent. Texas views Rudy Jaramillo’s replacement as more of an offensive philosophy coach than a hitting coach. With improved pitching and defense, the Rangers don’t feel they have to be sluggers. “We want to ingrain in them a team-first responsibility and your responsibility at any point in the game. Your at-bat is the team at-bat. ... It’s just maybe helping them rechannel and redirect some thoughts,” Hurdle said Thursday after being introduced by the Rangers. “The significance of a run has taken on a new value, a new meaning, in Texas.” Hurdle, the former Rockies

Prize recruit gets season-ending knee injury during practice COLLEGE BASKETBALL
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOULDER
Jeff Bzdelik can’t seem to catch a break — or maybe he’s just gathering too many of the bad variety. The Colorado basketball coach lost his prized recruit, athletic freshman guard Shannon Sharpe, to a season-ending knee injury during preseason workouts. Sharpe, a tenacious defender who was expected to split point guard duties with Nate Tomlinson, injured his left knee last month, requiring a microfracture procedure that will sideline him for the entire season and maybe longer.
The 6-foot-1-inch guard from Corona, Calif., averaged 17.9 points, 7.9 boards, 7.7 assists and 3.2 steals in his senior season at Centennial High School in 2007-08 before spending last season at a prep school in North Carolina, where he didn’t play ball. “Shannon’s injury has been difficult for all of us to deal with because our strong feelings for him as a terrific young man and for what he would have meant to our effectiveness as a team for this season,” Bzdelik said. “However, he will come back even stronger for next sea-
son and that bodes well for our future. It is now up to others to contribute more, and I strongly believe in my players to rise to the occasion.” It seems the Buffs are always talking about next year. Bzdelik is entering his third season with the Buffs, who open Nov. 13 against ArkansasPine Buff and are again expected to be the cellar dweller in a stacked Big 12. The team has only one senior, guard Dwight Thorne III. Bzdelik is 21-42 at Colorado, including 4-28 in conference play, since supplanting Ricardo Patton after a successful stint at Air Force.

The Colorado Rockies agreed Thursday to an $850,000, oneyear contract with right-hander Matt Belisle and a $650,000, oneyear deal with left-hander Randy Flores. Belisle was 3-1 with a 5.52 ERA in 24 appearances with the Rockies last season.

In addition, he can earn $200,000 for games finished: $25,000 each for 40 and 45, and $50,000 each for 50, 55 and 60. Flores went 0-1 with a 5.25 ERA in 27 games. He can earn $100,000 in performance bonuses based on games pitched: $25,000 each for 60 and each additional five through 75.

Colorado State University coach Steve Fairchild has shaken up his coaching staff, reassigning offensive coordinator Greg Peterson to concentrate full-time on recruiting. Fairchild made the coaching change in the midst of a six-game skid that dropped the Rams to 3-6. Peterson’s duties of coaching the wide receivers also were stripped. Fairchild and graduate assistant Darrell Ballard, in addition to the other four fulltime members of the offensive coaching staff, will coach the wide receivers for the remainder of the season.
BOULDER
It’s been years since the Colorado football team wore sky blue instead of black and gold. When they did, they won just 10 out of 44 games from 1981 to 1984. Now University of Colorado senior Taylor Rhode wants to bring the color back Saturday, when Colorado hosts Texas A&M, as a sign of fans’ frustration with the Buffaloes’ 2-6 record. Rhode is recruiting people through Facebook to wear powder blue to the game to show university officials that they think the current regime stands with the “worst of the worst.”

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Ethan Hawke, 39; Maria Shriver, 54; Glenn Frey, 61; Sally Field, 63 Happy Birthday: Travel and communication will be a problem if you overreact or take on too much. This can be a money year but only if you stick close to home and work diligently. Alterations at home will bring a unique twist to the way you run your life, the tasks you take on and the pleasures you seek. A creative change will result in greater inspiration and the chance to show off your talents. Your numbers are 9, 14, 23, 27, 31, 33, 42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don't take things so seriously. Enjoy the moment and have fun with friends and family for a change. Put everything aside and you will enhance your relationships and feel good about your future. ★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Nurture a relationship to enhance your feelings for one another. A trip may cost more than you want to spend but it will be well worth the money. Don't hold back when you have so much to offer. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Sort through the things that are bothering you about your professional life and what you've done in the past. It's time to put a plan together that will help you reach the goals you've set. Do your best to avoid mixing business with pleasure. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): You'll be emotional, sensitive and compassionate toward others. Connect with people who can offer you the same understanding and solutions in return. A change in your appearance will give you added confidence. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Stick to the truth and don't let anyone talk you into getting involved in something that isn't going to benefit you. Focus on home and family. Make your residence better equipped to handle everyone's personal needs and you'll be a hero in your own home. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Listen, observe and learn from the people taking action in your area. Once you see the ins and outs of a situation, you can handle a neighborhood or community problem,
giving you greater authority in the future. ★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A power struggle can be expected. Don't get involved in a situation that could be potentially dangerous. Avoid altercations with authority figures. Lay low and avoid anyone who is trying to pick a fight or limit your freedom. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Think about your future. It's about time you put an idea you have into practice. Fear of failure must not be allowed to hold you back. Success is often built by the mistakes made. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A secret you've been keeping will give you the upper hand now but don't exaggerate or you may be caught in the act and blamed for not being forthcoming. Put pressure on anyone owing you money, favors or possessions. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You will stand out for your knowledge, expertise and ability to take action. Your ties to your past will enrich your decisions and help you turn a working relationship into something special. Show everyone who you are and what you can do.
Cathy ® Cathy Guisewite
★★★
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Short trips, attending a lecture or trade show or just getting together with people who interest you will all be enlightening and will contribute to a decision about a partnership or contract you are contemplating.
Monty ® Jim Meddick
★★★
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Invite friends over or have a family get-together. You will connect with someone who has an interest in what you are doing and will offer good suggestions. There is money heading your way and deals to be made.
★★★★★
Birthday Baby: You are affectionate and sensitive. You are open to change and are always looking for ways to improve personally and economically. 2009 UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

South Korean passes driver’s exam on 950th try THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA
A woman in South Korea who tried to pass the written exam for a driver’s license with near-daily attempts since April 2005 has finally succeeded on her 950th time. The aspiring driver spent more than 5 million won ($4,200) in application fees, but until now had failed to score the minimum 60 out of a possible 100 points needed to get behind the wheel for a driving test. Cha Sa-soon, 68, finally passed the written exam with a score of 60 on Wednesday, said Choi Young-chul, a police official at the drivers’ license agency in Jeonju, 130 miles (210 kilometers) south of Seoul. Police said Cha took the test hundreds of times, but had no specific total. Local media said she took the test 950 times. Now she must pass a driving test before getting her license, Choi said. Repeated calls to Cha seeking comment went unanswered. She told the Korea Times newspaper she needed the license for her vegetableselling business.
ODD NEWS Man appears alive at own funeral in Brazil RIO DE JANEIRO
A Brazilian bricklayer reportedly killed in a car crash shocked his mourning family by showing up alive at his funeral. Relatives of Ademir Jorge Goncalves, 59, had identified him as the victim of a Sunday night car crash in Parana state in southern Brazil, police said. As is customary in Brazil, the funeral was held the following day, which happened to be the holiday of Finados, when Brazilians visit cemeteries to honor the dead. What family members didn’t know was that Goncalves had spent the night at a truck stop talking with friends over drinks of a sugarcane liquor known as cachaca, his niece Rosa Sampaio told the O Globo newspaper. He did not get word about his own funeral until it was already happening Monday morning. A police spokesman in the town of Santo Antonio da Platina said Goncalves rushed

SUV nearly slams into elephant in Oklahoma OKLAHOMA CITY
It’s not unusual to see a deer or a cow crossing Oklahoma’s rural highways. But an elephant? A couple driving home from church nearly slammed into a giant pachyderm that had escaped from a nearby circus late Wednesday.
Matthew Brenner, a sophomore, kicked a 45-yard field goal during UM’s “Kick for Cash” contest Saturday. But he didn’t meet the qualifications to be a contestant because he hadn’t been away from football for five years. Brenner kicked a 27-yard field goal to lift his high school team, the Sidney Eagles, to a 2007 homecoming victory. Brenner says he wasn’t asked about his athletic background and didn’t really read the contest contract before he signed it.
“Didn’t have time to hit the brakes. The elephant blended in with the road,” driver Bill Carpenter said Thursday. “At the very last second I said ‘elephant!”’ Carpenter, 68, said he swerved his SUV at the last second and ended up sideswiping the 29-year-old female elephant on U.S. 81 in Enid, about 80 miles north of Oklahoma City. “So help me Hanna, had I hit that elephant, not swerved, it would have knocked it off its legs, and it would have landed right on top of us,” he said. “We’d have been history.” The couple, who own a wheat farm, weren’t injured. But the 8-foot, 4,500-pound elephant was being examined Thursday for a broken tusk and a leg wound. A local veterinarian said it appeared to have escaped major injury.
Man in Breathalyzer outfit accused of DUI in Ohio
OXFORD, OHIO
An Ohio man dressed as a Breathalyzer test for Halloween found himself blowing into one after police stopped him for allegedly driving the wrong way without headlights on a oneway street. Oxford police say they stopped 20-year-old James P. Miller on Halloween night and found beer in his front seat and in the trunk. Police say Miller blew 0.158 percent on a Breathalyzer test. The legal limit for driving is a blood-alcohol level of 0.08.

to the funeral to let family members know he was not dead. “The corpse was badly disfigured, but dressed in similar clothing,” said the police spokesman, who talked on condition of anonymity as he wasn’t authorized to discuss the case. “People are afraid to look for very long when they identify bodies, and I think that is what happened in this case.” Sampaio told O Globo that some family members were not sure the body was Goncalves. “My two uncles and I had doubts about the identification,” she told O Globo. “But an aunt and four of his friends identified the body, so what were we to do? We went ahead with the funeral.”

Hurricane hits Nicaragua, loses steam Filadelfo Aleman

MANAGUA, NICARAGUA
CLOSEOUT

Hurricane Ida swept onto Nicaragua’s Atlantic coast Thursday, destroying homes, damaging schools and downing bridges before losing steam and becoming a tropical depression as it moved inland. Ida’s winds swirled at 75 mph when the storm struck land around sunrise in Tasbapauni, about 60 miles northeast of Bluefields, said meteorologist Dennis Feltgen, of the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami. The battering wrecked all but
20 of the 100 or so flimsy, wooden shacks in nearby Karawala, a fishing village near the mouth of the Rio Grande de Matagalpa, Nicaragua’s National Civil Defense director, Mario Perez, said. “There was major damage in the region’s infrastructure, such as fallen bridges, damaged schools and government buildings, and electrical transmission towers and telephone service were knocked out,” Perez said. No deaths or injuries had been reported, but Perez said officials still were trying to get information from the sparsly populated, jungle-covered region. The fast-developing storm
grew into a tropical depression and then a hurricane within little more than a day, then lost power as it stalled over eastern Nicaragua. It weakened back into a depressiion by late Thursday, with winds slowing to 35 mph. Ida could dump as much as 20 inches of rain on the swampy mainland, with the risk of floods and mudslides, according to the Miami-based hurricane center. More than 3,000 people were evacuated before the storm hit — 800 of those from homes on Corn Island and nearby Little Corn Island, where strong winds damaged about 45 homes, smashed boats, toppled trees and
knocked out power. Residents were taken to the port authority building and concrete hotels. About 2,500 people live on the two islands, which are popular tourist destinations. Rowena Kandler, owner of the Sunrise Hotel on Corn Island, said many fruit trees on the hotel’s 13-acre ranch were damaged. “We don’t have electricity or water,” she said. “Everything is on the ground now. Thank God we’re alive.” The hotel had two guests who rode out the storm Wednesday night, but Kandler said they left for the airport Thursday morning.
