At the beginning of Soda Creek Elementary School’s annual Veterans Day program Wednesday, each veteran stood up to introduce himself or herself. But it wasn’t an easy task for Ty Upson, a Marine who served tours in 2003 and 2006 in Iraq. “It’s not very Marine-like to show emotion, but I could

Upson said he was “blown away” by the students’ program. More than 50 local veterans from the Coast Guard, Air Force, Navy, Army and Marine Corps attended the program, in which Soda Creek’s 81 fifthgraders performed. Some veterans had family members who

They recited “thank you” messages to the vets. Fifth-graders Ellie Kavanaugh and Gillian Cook prepared a slide show including photographs of local vets. “I think it’s important we let the vets know they’re special,” Ellie said. “They need to be

Routt County United Way is heading toward hitting the halfway mark of a $525,000 fundraising goal for its fall cam paign. On its second “10K for Uni ted Way” one-day push Tuesday, the umbrella fundraising group for health and human services agencies in Routt County raised $10,009. That amount — just over the organization’s goal to raise $10,000 in donations and corpo rate contributions centered on a three-hour live radio remote by KBCR 96.9 FM Tuesday at Qdoba Mexican Grill — brings the 10K for United Way fund raising total to $39,671.

and a SCORE counselor, said lower real estate values mean businesses might need to try a different tactic when they approach lenders. “To approach the banks is more difficult than it was in the past, and we’re trying to set folks’ expectations and let them know things that will improve their odds when applying for loans,” he said. Adam Beaupre, of Vectra Bank, Greg Dixson, of First National Bank of the Rockies, and another banker will answer questions from the audience. Rudasics said finding a lending option still is possible. “Nobody’s shutting off lending; that would be an exaggeration to say they’ve shut off lending,” he said. “They’re just being much more cautious.”

layer of asphalt will be added to C.R. 27 in spring as part of the relocation project. In addition to the road alignment completion, Xcel spokesman Mark Stutz wrote in an e-mail that the bridge foundation and abutment construction were done with the exception of three sets of piers on U.S. Highway 40 and the surface of the bridge. Construction of the piers and bridge surface projects will begin in spring, Stutz said. Stutz said the electric utility relocation is about 75 percent done and is expected to be finished before construction stops for the winter in December. This week, a contractor began the irrigation improvements at the Carpenter Ranch, Stutz wrote. Any work that is not completed before the December cutoff will resume in April. The construction is about half a mile south of U.S. 40 on C.R. 27, also called Twentymile Road. The spur will leave the Union Pacific Railroad main line three to four times a week with 115 cars per train and travel through a portion of the Carpenter Ranch across U.S. 40 and C.R. 27 to carry coal to the power plant. In April when construction resumes, Stutz said the complete rail spur earthwork, including the retaining wall at the Carpenter Ranch, would begin. He said construction of the facility where the coal will be dumped from the train to a conveyer also would begin next spring. The spur is expected to be completed by Oct. 31, 2011.

Big box discussion returns Planning Commission set to consider large-format retail STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

City planners tonight will revive public discussion about regulations and locations for large-format retail stores in Steamboat Springs. The Steamboat Springs Plan ning Commission is slated to discuss proposed changes to the community development code regarding large-format retail in Steamboat. Tonight’s discussion is a public work session with city planning staff, and no action will be taken about the issue. The meeting is at 6 p.m. at Centennial Hall on 10th Street. John Eastman, city planning services manager, said largeformat regulations apply to any retail store larger than 12,000 square feet. No retail store larger than 20,000 square feet is permitted east of 13th Street — and

If you go What: Meeting of the Steamboat Springs Planning Commission, including a discussion of large-format retail stores When: 6 p.m. today. Large-format retail is the third agenda item after public comment about non-agenda items and a final development plan for an industrial and residential development in Copper Ridge Business Park. Where: Centennial Hall, 124 10th St. Contact: Call the city’s Department of Planning and Community Development at 871-8258 or visit http://steamboat springs.net/departments/planning_ department for more information.

that standard is not proposed to change, Eastman said, but it will be part of “an open-ended discussion” about where large-format retail is allowed in the city. He said tonight’s discussion also includes proposals by planning staff to “clean up” loopholes, redundancies and inconsistencies in community development

code regulations. Public debate about whether and where to allow such stores in Steamboat has arisen several times in recent years. In 2006, a proposed and ultimately unsuccessful development would have brought a Walgreens store to U.S. Highway 40 and Pine Grove Road. Eastman said large-format regulations were adopted “kind of in the heat of the moment” during review of that development. The regulations contain inconsistencies such as requiring less stringent landscaping for large-format stores than regular commercial zones, Eastman said. City planning staff will present revisions to the Planning Commission tonight. The city already has added a new size category, for retail between 12,000 and 40,000 square feet, eliminating the

The firefighters and forest managers of Routt County are requesting residents’ help to develop a wildfire protection plan for the Steamboat Springs area. Fire experts are seeking input about topics from road signs to defensible space as they begin creating a Community Wildfire Protection Plan. Lynn Barclay, spokeswoman for the Northwest Colorado Fire Management Unit, said this is part of an ongoing process that will be updated annually to address the area’s needs. As a part of the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003 and a Colorado Senate bill, all counties are required to have a plan in place by July 2011. Barclay said the first version of the plan likely will be created in less than eight months, with updates each year after that. Today’s meeting also is the first step in combining local plans for North Routt County, Stagecoach and the Sanctuary and Burgess Creek neighborhoods into one umbrella plan for the county. Steamboat Springs Fire Chief Ron Lindroth, who worked on creating a Community Wildfire Protection Plan in Larimer County, said the plan is a general structure for fire preven-

Depression is a physical problem, not a Weakness in Character Clinical depression is caused by brain chemistry changes in the brain that slow down thinking and the ability to problem solve life's difficulties. It can be more painful than a broken leg. In most cases it is very treatable and people do not have to live with this invisible pain. Because depression is often misunderstood as a personal weakness, people are ashamed to get help. As in any disease, depression can get worse if it goes untreated. Learn how to break the stigma about getting treated for depression as well as the physiology of depression and treatment options.

The chickens are up in the air in Oak Creek. Ann and Walt Trout, downtown Oak Creek residents, will request tonight that the Oak Creek Town Board make an exception to the ordinance that prohibits livestock within town limits. The Trouts hope to keep the three hens they have had for 18 months. Trustees were scheduled to discuss the issue last month, but the Trouts did not attend the Town Board meeting. At that time, the trustees decided that the issue may resolve itself as the holiday season — and holiday meals — approached, but Ann Trout said she keeps her chickens for a different reason. Ann Trout, an avid gardener, said chicken manure makes the best compost when mixed with other organic material. She said

What: Oak Creek Town Board meeting When: 7 p.m. today Where: Oak Creek Town Hall on Nancy Crawford Boulevard Agenda: Agenda items include a recommendation to hire a new police officer; an ordinance variance request to allow live chickens to be kept in town; a hearing regarding a $400,000 Colorado Community Development Block Grant Program for a town water tank; and an approval of a contract with Woodford Land Planning regarding the Allegheny Gypsum annexation process.

she mixes garden scraps, leaves and other compostable material with the chicken manure to create “black gold” — rich fertilizer she spreads in her garden. The Trouts now have three hens — and no roosters — that are kept in a portable roost in the garage at night. Trustee Gerry Greenwood said town law prohibits any livestock from being kept within Oak Creek limits, but after reading

articles about homegrown eggs, he said the concept caught his attention. “Especially during this economic downturn, if eating is of any interest, it might be interesting,” he said. Ann Trout said she and her husband are requesting an allowance of at least eight hens. She said they also raised turkeys last year — “they were delicious,” she said — but they have no plans to keep other fowl in the future. Also at tonight’s meeting, the Town Board will consider a recommendation to preliminarily approve hiring a police officer for Oak Creek. Town Trustee and Police Commissioner Chuck Wisecup said an interview group has selected a candidate who would, if hired, become the town’s police force. The candidate must first pass additional interviews, psychological screening, polygraph and other tests, Wisecup said. He would not identify the candidate.

Commentary

Do you have something to say about a story we’ve written?

The rush to therapy David Brooks

The New York Times

We’re all born late. We’re born into history that is well under way. We’re born into cultures, nations and languages that we didn’t choose. On top of that, we’re born with certain brain chemicals and genetic predispositions that we can’t control. We’re thrust into social conditions that we detest. Often, we react in ways we regret even while we’re doing them. But unlike other aniBrooks mals, people do have a drive to seek coherence and meaning. We have a need to tell ourselves stories that explain it all. We use these stories to supply the metaphysics, without which life seems pointless and empty. Among all the things we don’t control, we do have some control over our stories. We do have a conscious say in selecting

the narrative we will use to make sense of the world. Individual responsibility is contained in the act of selecting and constantly revising the master narrative we tell about ourselves. The stories we select help us, in turn, to interpret the world. They guide us to pay attention to certain things and ignore other things. They lead us to see certain things as sacred and other things as disgusting. They are the frameworks that shape our desires and goals. So while story selection may seem vague and intellectual, it’s actually very powerful. The most important power we have is the power to help select the lens through which we see reality. Most people select stories that lead toward cooperation and goodness. But during the past few decades, a malevolent narrative has emerged. That narrative has emerged on the fringes of the Muslim world. It is a narrative that sees human history as a

war between Islam on the one side and Christianity and Judaism on the other. This narrative causes its adherents to shrink their circle of concern. They don’t see others as fully human. They come to believe others can be blamelessly murdered and that, in fact, it is admirable to do so. This narrative is embraced by a small minority. But it has caused incredible amounts of suffering within the Muslim world, in Israel, in the U.S. and elsewhere. With their suicide bombings and terrorist acts, adherents to this narrative have made themselves central to global politics. They are the ones who go into crowded rooms, shout “Allah-u-Akbar,” or “God is great,” and then start murdering. When Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan did that in Fort Hood last week, many Americans had an understandable and in some ways admirable reaction. They didn’t want the horror to become a preSee Brooks, page 9

Trucks, trains and trees Thomas L. Friedman The New York Times

TAPAJOS NATIONAL FOREST, Brazil

No matter how many times you hear them, there are some statistics that just bowl you over. The one that always stuns me is this: Imagine if you took all the cars, trucks, planes, trains and ships in the world and added up their exhaust every year. The amount of carbon dioxide, or CO2, all those cars, trucks, planes, trains and ships collectively emit into the atmosphere actually is less than the carbon emisFriedman sions every year that result from the chopping down and clearing of tropical forests in places such as Brazil, Indonesia and the Congo. We now are losing a tropical forest the size of New York state every year, and the carbon that releases into the atmosphere

Mallard Fillmore

now accounts for roughly 17 percent of all global emissions contributing to climate change. It is going to be a long time before we transform the world’s transportation fleet so it is emission-free. But right now — like tomorrow — we could eliminate 17 percent of all global emissions if we could halt the cutting and burning of tropical forests. But to do that requires putting in place a whole new system of economic development — one that makes it more profitable for the poorer, forest-rich nations to preserve and manage their trees rather than to chop them down to make furniture or plant soybeans. Without a new system for economic development in the timber-rich tropics, you can kiss the rain forests goodbye. The old model of economic growth will devour them. The only Amazon your grandchildren will ever relate to is the one that ends in dot-com and sells books. To better understand this issue, I’m

visiting the Tapajos National Forest in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon on a trip organized by Conservation International and the Brazilian government. Flying in here by prop plane from Manaus, you can understand why the Amazon rainforest is considered one of the lungs of the world. Even from 20,000 feet, all you see in every direction is an unbroken expanse of rain forest treetops that, from the air, looks like a vast and endless carpet of broccoli. Once on the ground, we drove from Santarem into Tapajos where we met with the community cooperative that manages the eco-friendly businesses here that support the 8,000 local people living in this protected forest. What you learn when you visit with a tiny Brazilian community that actually lives in, and off of, the forest is a simple but crucial truth: To save an ecosystem of nature, you need an ecosystem of markets and governance.

Fort Hood reaction not morally serious Brooks continued from 8 text for anti-Muslim bigotry. So immediately the coverage took on a certain cast. The possibility of Islamic extremism was immediately played down. This was an isolated personal breakdown, not an ideological assault, many people emphasized. Hasan was portrayed as a disturbed individual who was under a lot of stress. We learned about pre-traumatic stress syndrome and secondary stress disorder, which one gets from hearing about other people’s stress. We heard the theory (unlikely in retrospect) that Hasan was so traumatized by the thought of going into a combat zone that he decided to take a gun and create one of his own. A shroud of political correctness settled over the conversation. Hasan was portrayed as a victim of society, a poor soul

who was pushed over the edge by prejudice and unhappiness. There was a national rush to therapy. Hasan was a loner, who had trouble finding a wife and socializing with his neighbors. This response was understandable. It’s important to tamp down vengeful hatreds in moments of passion. But it was also patronizing. Public commentators assumed the air of kindergarten teachers who had to protect their children from thinking certain impermissible and intolerant thoughts. If public commentary wasn’t carefully policed, the assumption seemed to be, then the great mass of unwashed yahoos in Middle America would go off on a racist rampage. Worse, it absolved Hasan — before the real evidence was in — of his responsibility. He didn’t have the choice to be lonely or unhappy. But he did

have a choice over what story to build out of those circumstances. And evidence is now mounting to suggest he chose the extremist War on Islam narrative that so often leads to murderous results. The conversation in the first few days after the massacre was well intentioned, but it suggested a willful flight from reality. It ignored the fact that the war narrative of the struggle against Islam is the central feature of American foreign policy. It ignored the fact that this narrative can be embraced by a self-radicalizing individual in the United States as much as by groups in Tehran, Gaza or Kandahar. It denied, before the evidence was in, the possibility of evil. It sought to reduce a heinous act to social maladjustment. It wasn’t the reaction of a morally or politically serious nation.

It takes money to preserve rain forests Friedman continued from 8 Right now people protecting the rain forest are paid a pittance, even though we now know that the rain forest provides everything from keeping CO2 out of the atmosphere to maintaining the flow of fresh water into rivers. The good news is that Brazil has put in place all the elements of a system to compensate its forest-dwellers for maintaining the forests. Brazil already has set aside 43 percent of the Amazon rain forest for conservation and for indigenous peoples. Another 19 percent of the Amazon, though, already has been deforested by farmers and ranchers. So the big question is what will happen to the other 38 percent. The more we get the Brazilian system to work, the

more of that 38 percent will be preserved and the less carbon reductions the whole world would have to make. The residents of the Tapajos reserve already are organized into cooperatives that sell ecotourism on rainforest trails, furniture and other wood products made from sustainable selective logging and a very attractive line of purses made from “ecological leather,” aka rain forest rubber. They also get subsidies. Sergio Pimentel, 48, explained to me that he used to farm about five acres of land for subsistence, but now is using only about one acre to support his family of six. The rest of the income comes through the co-op’s forest businesses. “We were born inside the forest,” he added. “So we know the importance of it being preserved, but we need better access

to global markets for the products we make here.” There are community co-ops like this all across the protected areas of the Amazon rain forest. But this system needs money — money to expand into more markets, money to maintain police monitoring and enforcement and money to improve the productivity of farming on already degraded lands so people won’t eat up more rain forest. That is why we need to make sure that whatever energy-climate bill comes out of the U.S. Congress, and whatever framework comes out of the Copenhagen conference next month, they include provisions for financing rainforest conservation systems like those in Brazil. The last 38 percent of the Amazon is still up for grabs. It is there for us to save. Your grandchildren will thank you.

The 10K for United Way effort brings the total to $220,717 for this year’s cam paign; that’s 42 percent of the group’s $525,000 goal. United Way passes the money it raises on to more than 40 health and human services agencies in Routt County dur ing its annual allocation pro cess. Need from those agencies — which include Advocates Building Peaceful Communi ties, LIFT-UP of Routt County, First Impressions, Yampa Valley Autism Program and Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association — has increased, Stanford said. United Way rounds up the main push of its campaign Sunday, though donations are accepted year-round. United Way is ahead of its collection pace from 2008 — the 42 per cent of its goal shown on a fundraising thermometer on the Routt County Courthouse lawn is well above the 19.5 per cent, or $117,000, of a $600,000 goal represented at this time last year. Individual donations and workplace giving are the main two components of the cam paign drive. Stanford said she expects to see an increase in the total when some larger local offices hold their annual work place giving events in the com ing weeks. Several organizations and businesses offered matching donations in the 10K for United Way drives: The Rotary Club of Steamboat Springs matched $5,000 donated Oct. 6, and the Kiwanis Club of Steamboat Springs, the Law Office of Cheryl Hardy-Moore and James J. Moylan and Associates matched $1,500 in Tuesday’s drive.

Oversize ski bags still checked at curb pletely backed up.” The federal Transportation Safety Administration is paying for the new equipment, Ruppel said. The only expense to the county-owned airport is attributable to adjusting its conveyor belts to accommodate the new baggage scanners. The manufacturer’s literature says the new machines have the latest upgrades in image resolution and the capacity to detect possible explosives in luggage. The CT80 DR scanners allow operators to quickly evaluate and “resolve a greater percentage of alarm bags,” according to Reveal Imaging Technologies, which makes the machines. The new mainline scanners (which aren’t able to handle ski bags) will double the capacity to 250 bags an hour, Ruppel said, and at times, TSA personnel will be able to put two bags through the machine side by side to increase the speed with which they can screen luggage. As they have in the past, departing passengers who have oversize ski bags will be asked to check their bags at the curb. Departing passengers who are not aware of the curbside

requirement won’t be sent back outside to get in line again, Ruppel said. Ticket agents will check their ski bags. Airport staff will communicate with airline personnel and ground transportation companies about the airport’s new luggage scanning equipment, he added. Ski bags will go through an existing scanner that has received a software upgrade that will increase its capacity, as well. Ruppel said he expects TSA personnel also will be able to pull more typical bags off the oversize-bag scanner and put them through the new scanners to take pressure off the former. The net result should be shorter check-in lines, allowing outbound passengers to get to their gates and relax in the waiting area sooner. “The first year (the winter of 2007-08), we had software problems, and there were knowledge and training issues. It was an overwhelming problem at times,” Ruppel said. At times, Ruppel and Assistant Airport Manager Dean Smith dove into the string of backed up luggage and began expediting suitcases and duffels themselves. With higher capacity scan-

ners, four TSA personnel on each scanner and two more supervisors roaming, Ruppel is looking forward to less stressful Saturdays this ski season. — To reach Tom Ross, call 871-4205 or e-mail tross@steamboatpilot.com

Consultations

State Rep. Scott Tipton is getting into the race in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District and turning it into a referendum on President Barack Obama’s policies. Tipton said Wednesday he will be filing paperwork with the Federal Elections Commission later this week to challenge Democrat John Salazar for the Western Slope district. Republicans Martin Beeson and Bob McConnell also are running for the seat. Tipton challenged Salazar three years ago but lost, 146,488 to 86,930. Tipton said that in nine months, the national deficit has tripled, the stimulus bills have grown government and Washington is forcing health care on voters. Tipton says Salazar’s support for some of those initiatives are out of step with people in his district. He said the race is about Salazar’s voting record

and Obama’s agenda. “John Salazar in supporting these actions is standing up for big government, but not the people of the Third Congressional District of Colorado,” Tipton said. Salazar’s spokesman, Eric Wortman, said Salazar was observing Veterans Day in Aspen and had no comment. “He doesn’t want to play politics today. This is an important day to him,” Wortman said. Salazar is considered one of the “blue dog” Democrats who are more conservative than most of the members of their caucus. He voted for the health care bill even though conservatives warned blue dogs to “prepare to color your district red next year” if they supported it. Political consultant Floyd

Ciruli said Tipton is trying to turn the race into another referendum on Obama after Republicans achieved success in this year’s gubernatorial elections in New Jersey and Virginia by attacking Democrats who supported Obama’s agenda. “That’s called nationalizing a local election. The difficulty is, when you have a candidate like Salazar on the conservative end of the spectrum, it’s hard to turn him into a tool of the administration. Salazar can argue that there are a lot of things Obama wanted that he didn’t vote for,” Ciruli said. Tipton, who lives in Cortez, has a bachelor’s degree in political science from Fort Lewis College. He is founder and owner of Mesa Verde Pottery near the entrance to Mesa Verde National Park. Salazar, the brother of Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Colo., has represented western and southern Colorado in Congress since 2004. The potato farmer and rancher from Manassa in the San Luis Valley won re-election to a third term in 2008.

Jonny Copp, an avid mountaineer and founder of the Adventure Film Festival in Boulder, hoped to document an unprecedented ascent with two buddies up the east face of southwest China’s formidable Mount Edgar this spring. But Copp, climbing partner Micah Dash and videographer Wade Johnson encountered rock falls at lower elevations and decided it was too risky.

of feet above them, friends said. They were last heard from May 20 and perished despite the best efforts of Chinese and U.S. rescue teams. On Friday, the Adventure Film Festival will honor the climbers with “First Ascent: Point of No Return,” a 30-minute film compiled from hundreds of hours of footage shot by Johnson before the slide on the 21,712-foot mountain. Festival director Mark Reiner, a childhood friend of Copp’s who learned to rock climb with him, said “First Ascent” is tough for him to watch. “It’s just hard to see your buddy alive and well when you know it’s not the case,” Reiner said. Far from being a memorial event, the fifth annual Adventure Film Festival runs Thursday through Saturday with more than 30 films about extreme sports, the environment and humanitarian issues. Copp, 35, was passionate about the environment, photography, film and the outdoors — and the festival reflects that.

“Our films aren’t just about people chucking themselves off a cliff,” Reiner said. “We inspire people to get out there, see the world and maybe make change.” The footage of Copp, Dash, 32, also of Boulder, and Johnson, 24, of Arden Hills, Minn., originally was intended for “First Ascent,” a mountaineering series Boulder-based Sender Films was making for National Geographic Channels International. Sender Films’ Nick Rosen and Peter Mortimer, part of the tightknit climbing community, decided to go ahead with the China episode after talking to the climbers’ loved ones. “It’s been the most stressful thing,” said Mortimer, who edited the film. “The pressure has been unbearable. We’ve all kind of lost it over the last month, but I feel really good about the piece we’re showing. It really captured their spirit and love for the mountains.” Johnson’s mother, Susan Johnson, of Arden Hills, said seeing the film was a way to connect with what he experienced in the weeks before his death. “When you love someone and their experiences are captured on film, it’s a treasure,” she said. Johnson, Copp and Dash loved life and the outdoors but weren’t careless or foolish about it, Susan Johnson said.

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environ ment said Wednesday that 38 people had died from the flu this season. The department says people aged 25 to 49 account for 17 of the deaths, or nearly 45 percent. Officials say virtually all the flu cases they have seen this season are swine flu or H1N1.

Market sees new gold rush

Why Google when you can ...

Price of precious metal soars to a record high Wednesday Dave Carpenter

The Associated Press

20455726

CHICAGO

The Online Guide to Steamboat Springs

The new gold rush is on. The price of the precious metal is soaring, hitting a record $1,119 an ounce on Wednesday — confounding market analysts who thought there was no way gold would remain so expensive when it first cracked the unheardof $1,000 mark last year. The remarkable run has implications far beyond savvy investors. In New York’s diamond district, more people started showing up late last year to sell their gold, and the crush hasn’t let up, said Anthony Iannelli, owner of Iannelli Diamonds. “They’re bringing in jewelry from the ’70s and ’80s they don’t wear anymore,” he said. “They’re following the news and

see prices are high. They realize they have a little cache, and want to take it out of the vault.” Typically, gold is a safe place for investors to park their money, not something they buy to make money. It doesn’t earn any interest, and because it’s always sought-after, its value tends to be fairly stable. For example, when gold first reached $1,000, it was in March 2008, shortly after the collapse of investment bank Bear Stearns. Investors bought it up then because they feared for the stability of the financial system. This time is different. Investors — think of them as the ’09ers — are buying gold to protect themselves against the falling dollar. Currencies are weak investments around the world because

of record-low interest rates. Foreign banks that hold substantial amounts of U.S. debt, such as China’s, want to diversify their holdings. News earlier this month that India’s central bank bought nearly $7 billion worth of gold from the International Monetary Fund triggered a frenzy of gold buying. The surge has been remarkable. Gold is up 7 percent just this month, and 26 percent for the year. Some forecasters see it going to $1,200, $1,500 or beyond — unless the buying frenzy comes to a halt. “You just don’t see increases like this over the short term” that last, says Steve Condon, director of investor advisory services for Truepoint Capital in Cincinnati. “This isn’t materially different from gambling.”

In Arizona, the budget has grown so gloomy that lawmakers are considering mortgaging Capitol buildings. In Michigan, state officials dealing with the nation’s highest unemployment rate are slashing spending on schools and health care. Drastic financial remedies are no longer limited to California, where a historic budget crisis earlier this year grew so bad that state agencies issued IOUs to pay bills. A study released Wednesday warned that at least nine other big states also are barreling toward economic disaster, raising the likelihood of higher

$500

taxes, more government layoffs and deep cuts in services. The report by the Pew Center on the States found that Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island and Wisconsin are also at grave risk. Double-digit budget gaps, rising unemployment, high foreclosure rates and built-in budget constraints are the key reasons. “While California often takes the spotlight, other states are facing hardships just as daunting,” said Susan Urahn, managing director of the Washington, D.C.-based center. “Decisions these states make as they try to navigate the recession will play a role in how quickly the entire nation recovers.” The analysis, “Beyond Calif

ornia: States in Fiscal Peril,” urged lawmakers and governors in those states to take quick action to head off a wider catastrophe. The 10 states account for more than one-third of the nation’s population and economic output, according to the report. Historically, states have their worst tax revenue year soon after a national recession ends. At the same time, higher joblessness and underemployment mean more people need government-sponsored health care and social safety-net programs, further taxing state services. California leads the most vulnerable states identified by the report, which describes it as having poor money-management practices.

Pilot arrest raises questions Drinking allegation in London is latest in series of incidents David Koenig

The Associated Press

DALLAS

The arrest of a United Airlines pilot this week for allegedly drinking too much before entering the cockpit is the latest in a series of incidents involving airline pilots and alcohol. The United pilot, Erwin Vermont Washington, was about to take off from London’s Heathrow Airport for Chicago with 124 passengers on board.

Instead, he was removed from the aircraft, suspended by his airline and now faces as many as two years in a U.K. prison if convicted on criminal charges. He is the third U.S. pilot arrested in 13 months on alcohol-related charges. Monday’s arrest raises more questions about what goes on in airplane cockpits. It follows the distracted flying incident in the U.S. last month, where Northwest Airlines pilots overshot Minneapolis by more than

Another United pilot was arrested on the same charge in October 2008. And a Southwest Airlines pilot was suspended in January after allegedly showing up for his flight in Ohio, reeking of alcohol. He’s back on duty.

Protections may help Fort Hood suspect Mark Sherman

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON

Though the suspect in the shooting rampage at Fort Hood could face the death penalty, he will be prosecuted in a military justice system where no one has been executed in nearly a halfcentury. Maj. Nidal Hasan, the Army psychiatrist alleged to have killed 13 people at the massive Army installation in Texas last week, might also benefit from protections the military provides defendants that are greater than those offered in civilian federal courts. “Our military justice system is not bloodthirsty. That’s clear,” said Eugene R. Fidell, who teaches military law at Yale. Much about Hasan’s case will

be decided by a senior Army officer — perhaps Lt. Gen. Robert Cone, Fort Hood’s commander — including whether to seek the death penalty and, in the event Hasan is convicted of capital murder, whether to commute a possible death sentence to life in prison. Before a military execution can be carried out, the president must personally approve. George W. Bush signed an execution order last year for a former Army cook who was convicted of multiple rapes and murders in the 1980s, but a federal judge has stayed that order to allow for a new round of appeals in federal court. There hasn’t been a military execution since 1961, though five men sit on the military’s death row at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.

Foreclosures dip 3 percent in October from September J.W. Elphinstone

The Associated Press

NEW YORK

The number of homeowners on the brink of losing their homes dipped in October, the third straight monthly decline, as foreclosure prevention programs helped more borrowers. But foreclosure filings are still up 19 percent from a year ago, RealtyTrac said Thursday, and rising job losses continue to threaten the stabilizing trend. More than 332,000 households, or one in every 385 homes, received a foreclosurerelated notice in October, such as a notice of default or trustee’s sale. That’s down 3 percent from September. Banks repossessed more than 77,000 homes last month, down

from nearly 88,000 homes in September. New state programs, like one launched in Nevada in July, that require mediation before banks can seize a property have helped stem foreclosure activity, said Rick Sharga, senior vice president at RealtyTrac. Also, anecdotally, lenders are delaying foreclosure as they evaluate which borrowers might qualify for the federal loan modification program, he said. “That’s the reason there’s been a buildup of homes that are seriously delinquent but not foreclosed,” he said. Despite Nevada’s legislative efforts to slow foreclosures, the state still clocked in the nation’s highest foreclosure rate for the 34th month in a row.

On a cold, rain-soaked Veterans Day, President Barack Obama walked slowly through the white, stone markers at the section of Arlington National Cemetery reserved for troops killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, the two wars he oversees as commander in chief. Obama led the nation Wednesday in observing Veterans Day with a traditional wreathlaying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington before an unannounced visit to the section reserved for those who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. “We gather here mindful that the generation serving today already deserves a place alongside previous generations for the courage they have shown and the sacrifices that they have made,” Obama said in a brief speech following the wreath-laying. Obama pledged he would do right by all veterans and families, saying: “America will not let you down.” The president spoke one day after honoring the victims of a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas. He said he was struck by the determination of the soldiers there, a quality that unites generations of American servicemen. “To all of them — to our veterans, to the fallen and to their families — there is no tribute, no commemoration, no praise that can truly match the magnitude of your service and your sacrifice,” he said.

around the nation US risks following Japan’s example of stagnancy WASHINGTON

Heavy government stimulus spending and near-zero interest rates did little to end a “lost decade” of stagnation and mushrooming debt in Japan. Some economists and lawmakers say the U.S. may wind up following the same trajectory. Despite early signs of recovery and a strong U.S. stock market rally, fears persist that the failure to generate new jobs or ignite more consumer spending could drag the economy back into recession or result in a protracted Japan-like period of poor economic and stockmarket performance. Japan is President Barack Obama’s first stop on a tour of Asia beginning Friday — and the gloomy world economy will be high on the agenda. Japan, beginning in the 1990s, and the U.S., in the most recent economic crisis, had credit and housing bubbles and engaged in huge amounts of overborrowing leading up to sharp economic downturns. And both used historically low interest rates and government stimulus spending to try to lift their economies out of the ditch — with questionable results in Japan.

Officials: Brown pelicans no longer are endangered WASHINGTON

Much like its death-defying dives for fish, the brown pelican has resurfaced after plummeting to the brink of extinction. Interior Department officials on Wednesday announced they were taking the bird off the endangered species list, after a nearly four-decade struggle to keep the brown pelican population afloat. The bird now prevalent across Florida, the Gulf and Pacific coasts and the Caribbean was declared an endangered species in 1970, after its population — much like those of the bald eagle and peregrine falcon — was decimated by the use of the pesticide DDT. The chemical, consumed when the pelican ate tainted fish, caused it to lay eggs with shells so thin they broke during incubation. The pelican’s recovery is largely because of a 1972 ban on DDT, coupled with efforts by states and conservation groups to protect its nesting sites and monitor its population, Interior Department officials said.

Catholic bishops help shape health care bill WASHINGTON

The call came in from Rome, just as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her top lieutenants were scrambling to round up scarce votes to pass their sweeping health overhaul. Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick, the former archbishop of Washington, was on the line for Pelosi, calling to discuss adding strict abortion restrictions to the House bill. It was just one element of an intensive lobbying effort orchestrated by the nation’s Catholic bishops, who have emerged as a formidable force in the health care negotiations. They used their clout with millions of Catholics and worked behind the scenes in Congress to make sure the abortion curbs were included in the legislation — and are now pressing to keep them there. They don’t spend a dime on what is legally defined as lobbying, but lawmakers and insiders recognize that the bishops’ voices matter — and they move votes. Representatives for the bishops were in Pelosi’s Capitol suite negotiating with top officials for three hours Friday evening as they reached final terms of the agreement.

Setback in Bear Stearns case may force legal shift WASHINGTON

The swift acquittal of two Bear Stearns executives in the government’s criminal case tied to the financial meltdown likely will force prosecutors to rethink the evidence they planned to present in a raft of cases that have yet to go to trial, legal experts say. Criminal cases may be percolating against executives at fallen mortgage lender Countrywide Financial and bailed-out insurance giant American International Group, among others. The Bear Stearns acquittals show how tough it can be to prove that bank executives committed fraud by lying to investors. The government must show that executives actually were committing fraud and not simply doing their best to manage the worst financial crisis in decades, said Michael Levy, a white-collar defense attorney at Bingham McCutchen in Washington. Jurors were not swayed by e-mails the government presented in the Bear Stearns case.

Warlords back in power Situation complicates Afghanistan’s anti-corruption promises around the world

Bad weather is blamed in blackout for 60M in Brazil RIO DE JANEIRO

Heavy rain, lightning and strong winds caused blackouts that left nearly a third of Brazilians — 60 million people — in the dark, officials said Wednesday as they scrambled to restore confidence in the country’s infrastructure before soccer’s 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics. The weather made transformers on a vital high-voltage transmission line short-circuit, Brazil’s energy minister said. Two other transmission lines also went down as part of an automatic safety mechanism. “The problem was exclusively with the transmission lines,” Energy Minister Edison Lobao said. The blackout cut electricity to 18 of Brazil’s 26 states and left them without power for as many as four hours Tuesday night. The federal district that includes the national capital of Brasilia was spared. About 7 million people also lost water service in Sao Paulo. All of Paraguay briefly lost power.

Palestinian hopes dim 5 years after Arafat death RAMALLAH, West Bank

The tens of thousands of Palestinians who thronged Yasser Arafat’s grave Wednesday to mark the fifth anniversary of his death had a lot more to mourn than just their late leader. Arafat’s dream of an independent state seems as distant as ever with the Palestinian government in deep crisis and the rival Hamas cementing its hold on Gaza. Arafat’s successor, President Mahmoud Abbas, appears to have hit a dead end, and the Palestinians are at a loss for how to find a way out of the morass. Abbas took office with great promise after Arafat’s death five years ago. But he is so fed up with the lack of progress that he has vowed to step down, something that could bring the collapse of the Palestinian government. He says he cannot restart peace talks with Israel until the Jewish state stops building settlements in areas where the Palestinians hope to establish their future state.

Businesses fear Europe recovery will remain timid

A newly discovered dinosaur species that roamed the Earth about 200 million years ago may help explain how the creatures evolved into the largest animals on land, scientists in South Africa said Wednesday. The Aardonyx celestae was a 23-foot-long small-headed herbivore with a huge barrel of a chest. It walked on its hind legs but also could drop to all fours, and scientists told reporters that could prove to be a missing evolutionary link. This is a species “that no one has seen before and one that has a very significant position in the family tree of dinosaurs,” said paleontologist Adam Yates. Yates, who is based at the University of the Witwatersrand’s Bernard Price Institute for Paleontological Research, led the research with a number of other local and international scientists. Their findings were published Wednesday in the Proceedings of The Royal Society B, a London-based peer-reviewed journal.

KABUL

Warlords helped drive the Russians from Afghanistan, then shelled Kabul into ruins in a bloody civil war after the Soviets left. Now they are back in positions of power, in part because the U.S. relied on them in 2001 to help oust the Taliban after the Sept. 11 attacks. President Hamid Karzai later reached out to them to shore up his own power base as America turned its attention to Iraq after the Taliban’s rout. With the Taliban resurging, the entrenched power of the warlords is complicating Karzai’s promises to rid his new government of corruption and cronies, steps seen as critical to building support among Afghans against the insurgents. “You can’t build a new political system with old politicians accused of war crimes,” said lawmaker Ramazan Bashardost, who finished third in the country’s fraud-marred August election. “You can’t have peace with warlords in control.” Two of Karzai’s vice presidents — Mohammed Qasim Fahim and Karim Khalili — are ex-warlords. His outgoing military adviser, Abdul Rashid Dostum, has been accused of overseeing the suffocation deaths of as many as 2,000 Taliban prisoners during the 2001 U.S.-led invasion.

Frantz’ outlook sums up the uneasy state of affairs for businesses and workers across the continent. Europe’s emergence from the worst downturn since World War II remains fragile and uncertain, marked as much by anxiety as by relief. Most observers suspect that after five consecutive quarters of shrinking, the economies of the 16 countries that use the euro likely left recession in the third quarter of 2009. Official figures will be published Friday by the European Union statistics agency Eurostat. Britain, which isn’t in the eurozone, already has reported it remained stuck in recession with a drop of 0.4 percent in output.

Avs fall, 3-2, to Hawks in SO the associated press

CHICAGO

Even though more than 15 minutes remained in regulation when Chicago’s Cam Barker scored the tying goal, there was little doubt where the game was headed. When play ing each other this season, the Blackhawks and Colorado Avala Wednesday’s nche have taken game: no Blackhawks 3 absolutely shortcuts. Avs 2 “Right when we tied it up,” Chicago’s Patrick Sharp said, “I think everybody had a hunch it was going into overtime and a shootout.” The teams have played three times this season and all have ended in shootouts. The Blackhawks won, 3-2, on Wednesday night when Sharp beat Craig Anderson in the third round. “We finished them off a little earlier compared to the other games,” Chicago captain Jonathan Toews said, referring to the nine- and eight-round mara thons between the teams earlier this season. “We prefer it like this, just keep it to three shooters.” Anderson, a Chicago-area native who played three seasons for the Blackhawks, made 37 saves in regulation and over time and turned aside Patrick Kane’s shootout attempt. But he was beaten by Toews in the first shootout round and then couldn’t stop Sharp’s backhand er over his glove. Sharp had been 4 for 17 in shootouts during his career and was scoreless in both attempts against Anderson in the first two meetings between the teams. “Sometimes they go in, some times they don’t,” Sharp said. “I thought I had better puck control this time. The other times, I was focusing more on the shot and not hanging onto that puck.” The game wouldn’t have See Avs, page 23

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Steamboat Springs High School senior Colleen King signed her letter of intent Wednesday to continue her vol leyball career at the University of Denver. King, who orally committed to the Division I Pioneers after visiting in January, leaves as one

of the Sailors’ most decorated volleyball players. In addition to leading her team with 157 kills and 262 assists this season, King was named the Western Slope League’s Player of the Year for the second consecutive season. The last player to do that was Steamboat’s Katie Carter in the 2001 and 2002 seasons. “I think DU is getting an absolute diamond,” Steamboat

coach Wendy Hall said. “I think they understand what kind of player and athlete she is. But until you have her in your program on a daily basis, you don’t get the type of team mate she’s going to be, the type of leader she’s going to be for them. Those are gifts they don’t realize they have yet.” King also had offers from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and Colorado State Uni

versity, but she said Denver provided the family atmosphere she was looking for. “It feels really good,” King said. “Last year was really stressful trying to figure out what I was going to do for the next four years of my life. Traveling back and forth for club volleyball and everything. This is like it all pays off.” See King, page 23

2010 Rally Colorado status still undecided Joel Reichenberger PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Rally Colorado event direc tor Jim Gill said at this point, the race committee has decided not to decide. The Steamboat Springsbased event wrapped up its ninth running in September but learned last month that it had been dropped from Rally America’s national circuit.

auto racing The local race’s committee met last week to try to decide how or whether to continue with the event, but with a few options on the table and uncer tainty throughout the sport, the group opted to wait. “The decision to make no deci sion is the decision,” Gill said. The latest wild card to mix up the “what to do next” debate

is uncertainty at the top levels of the Rally America organiza tion. Gill said the circuit could lose several of its most wellknown stars to the World Rally Championship. Ken Block has expressed an interest in racing at that level, and a story in Autosport magazine links him to a Ford-sponsored World Rally Championship team that could race in the 2010 season. Block won at Rally Colorado in 2007 and finished

second in the series’ season-long standings in 2006 and 2008. He is among the sport’s most marketed drivers. That’s just one more wrench in what Gill said has been a dif ficult process. “We haven’t made a decision to continue on, to end it or to just take a year off,” he said. “We don’t want to make a kneejerk reaction, so we decided to wait a few weeks and see if something changes.”

Blake Worsley finished 12th in the 200-meter freestyle Wednesday at the Fina World Cup in Stockholm, failing to make the finals. Worsley, a 2005 Steamboat Springs High School graduate, made Tuesday’s finals in the 400 freestyle, finishing eighth. Wednesday’s time of 1 minute, 45.40 seconds was less than a second away from a finals qualifying spot. Worsley said he recently changed coaches and clubs and used the meet to see where he was with his endurance and fitness. “I am working on reshaping my freestyle and have made

sports briefs many small adjustments that need some fine tuning,” he wrote in an e-mail. “I think I am adapting very well to the technique changes, and I am looking forward to some solid improvements at the end of the season. I am glad that I have the opportunity to represent Canada in the World Cup and look forward to my next stop in Berlin later this week.” After qualifying for the Canadian Nation Team in July, Worsley has been swimming at international events. Worsley graduated from the University of Denver in May and hopes to make the Olympic Games in 2012.

Kylee Swiggart not a High School Heisman winner Kylee Swiggart, a senior at Steamboat Springs High School, missed out on being the state winner of the 2009 Wendy’s High School Heisman Award. Swiggart was named one of the 20 finalists for the award that looked at excellence in academics, athletics and community and school leadership. There were more than 50,000 senior applicants, and 10,848 were selected as finalists. Eaglecrest High School’s Aubrey Mable and Wiggins High School’s Kyle Pollock were selected as Colorado winners.

Pioneers leading the Western Division King continued from 22 In addition to playing for Steamboat, King traveled to Fort Collins during the summer to play for the NORCO 18s Black club, one of the elite club teams in the state. King was primed for a huge senior season before coming down with mononucleosis prior to the season. It slowed her down in the beginning of the season before she recovered to help the Sailors to a secondplace finish in the league. Considering that King wasn’t completely healthy, Hall said her best playing days could and

should be ahead of her. “Once she gets strength back, she’ll make a huge jump,” Hall said. “Then you surround her with really good hitters, and that’s going to be a wonderful thing. I think she’ll be an amazing player.” King was recruited to Denver as a setter but said there is a chance that she’ll also play as a hitter. She will play basketball this winter before training until July, when she leaves for Denver. The Pioneers are nearing their conference tournament and are 16-14 overall and 11-5 in the Sun Belt Conference,

Avalanche now are 2-3-1 Avs continued from 22 reached a shootout if not for Anderson’s stellar work, as the Avs were outshot 19-3 during the third period and overtime. “They were down by a goal and came out flying in the third,” he said. “We did what we could to hold it off and managed to get a point. It’s always good to come back and play in front of your family sitting in the crowd.” Marek Svatos scored in the shootout for the Avalanche, but Wojtek Wolski hit the post on his attempt and Darcy Tucker was stopped by Cristobal Huet. Wolski entered the game as the NHL shootout king, converting 17 of 29 (58.6 percent), but he is 0 for 3 in the three games against Chicago. “There’s nothing I can do about that,” Wolski said. “I made the same move that I’ve done before in the past and it works. This time I hit the post. He got lucky this time.”

Avs activate Tucker DENVER

The Colorado Avalanche have activated forward Darcy Tucker from the injured reserve list. He was activated in time for the game Wednesday night against the Chicago Blackhawks. Tucker missed eight games after suffering a concussion Oct. 23, when he was checked into the boards against Carolina. He has four goals and two assists in 10 games for Colorado this season. The Avalanche also said Wednesday that defenseman John-Michael Liles was placed on the injured reserve list, retroactive to Friday, because of a shoulder injury. — The Associated Press

Huet made 25 saves for the Blackhawks, who have won five consecutive home games. Since starting the season 10-1-2, the Avalanche are 2-3-1. Each club is in first place in its division and each is determined to finish high in the Western Conference standings.

currently leading the Western Division. “I think they can be top 30 in the next couple of years,” King said. “I think that’s exciting. It’s one thing going into a program that’s already built up, but building a program up — I like that.” King hasn’t decided on a major but said she’d like to go to graduate school and study architecture.

Tiger Woods lived up to eight months of anticipation in Australia on Thursday by running off three straight birdies late in his round of a 6-under 66 that put him atop the leaderboard in the Australian Masters. Playing for the first time Down Under in 11 years, before an enorWoods mous gallery only seen at major championships, Woods putted for birdie on every hole until the last one. He pulled his drive into a tea tree, chopped out into the rough and took two putts from 40 feet for his lone bogey. Among early starters, Woods was tied with James Nitties, of Australia, coming off his rook-

ie season on the PGA Tour, and Branden Grace, of South Africa. Woods missed only two fairways in a round that was relatively free of stress. He hit driver off the tee five times and except for the final hole, kept it in play and away from the trouble. Woods chose to lay back from the bunkers on several of the short par 4s at Kingston Heath, and a couple of times hit poor shots or played purposely away from the flags. “You play for what it’s giving you,” Woods said. “I didn’t have to change my game plan on any hole.” He made his move toward the end of the round, hitting 3-wood to the 294-yard sixth hole that held its line to the left of the bunkers and came up just short of the green, leaving an

easy chip to a foot. After a poor tee shot left him a bad angle to the green on the seventh, Woods hit 8-iron over the corner of trees to 20 feet for another birdie, then hit 8-iron to 7 feet on No. 8 to set up his third straight birdie. Far more impressive than the golf, however, was the gallery. Traffic was backed up along Kingston Road outside the club for miles in the hour before Woods teed off. “I know,” he said. “I was stuck in it, too.” The tournament has been a sellout for months, and it remains peculiar to see a ticket window at an Australian golf tournament with a sign that says “Sold out.” The cap was at 100,000 tickets for the week, and while it was impossible for 25,000 fans to stay on one hole, whoever couldn’t fit in moved ahead to the next couple of holes.

Federer loses in 2nd round in Paris Samuel Petrequin

PARIS

Top-ranked Roger Federer lost to Julien Benneteau, of France, 3-6, 7-6 (4), 6-4, in the second round of the Paris Masters on Wednesday, continuing his miserable run at the indoor event. The 15-time Grand Slam champion never has been further than the quarterfinals in seven Federer appearances. “He played incredible at the end. Julien went out and got the victory,” said Federer, who refused to give excuses. “I definitely had chances. I missed them. I feel fine physically, and mentally I was fresh to do really well here.” Federer’s exit capped a dra-

matic day at the Bercy arena, where Rafael Nadal saved five match points to beat Spanish compatriot Nicolas Almagro, and former three-time champion Marat Safin bid farewell to the tennis circuit. Federer took the first set when Benneteau’s backhand return hit the net, but the Frenchman found his range in the second set and dominated the tiebreaker, tying the match with a low return that landed just inside the baseline. “I didn’t have my rhythm from the baseline. Every time I had a chance he was winning the point,” Federer said. Boosted by the first set he’d taken off Federer in three matches, Benneteau forced mistakes on Federer’s backhand as the Swiss star rushed his shots. Benneteau broke early and then

held to lead, 3-1. Federer missed his chance in the fifth game when Benneteau saved two break points and then held for 4-2. Benneteau smacked a twohanded crosscourt winner past a startled Federer to set up two match points, acing the first one and falling to the floor in tears. Federer contested the call but was already at the net and ready to shake hands when the call was upheld. “It’s magic. It’s fabulous. Everything you can imagine. The memories will stay with me forever,” Benneteau said. “Hearing the crowd when they are all behind you, the noise is enormous. I didn’t believe it was possible to experience something like this.” The early loss, however, does give Federer more time to prepare for the ATP World Tour Finals in London this month.

Freestyle skier Jeremy Bloom has abandoned his comeback try, ending a bid to make the 2010 Olympic team so he can spend more time on his charity work. The 2002 and 2006 U.S. Olympian said Wednesday that he was retiring because “the passion that I once had for sports has naturally transitioned into my new ventures.” He had announced about a year ago that he would try for his third Olympics. Bloom plans to focus on the foundation he started, Wish of

a Lifetime, and also hopes to do color commentary on college football games. He had a brief NFL career after playing at Colorado. He finishes with 11 World Cup wins and two World Cup titles. He finished sixth in moguls at the 2006 Olympics and ninth in 2002.

Female ski jumpers head back to court VANCOUVER, British Columbia

Female ski jumpers are heading back to court Thursday in

another attempt to compete in the Vancouver Olympics. Fourteen jumpers are appealing a lower court’s decision that the Vancouver Olympic organizing committee doesn’t control whether they can compete. The jumpers argue that organizers are subject to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and their failure to include women’s ski jumping is discrimination. A British Columbia Supreme Court judge ruled in July that the power to add sports rests solely with the International Olympic Committee.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Omarion, 25; Ryan Gosling, 29; Radha Mitchell, 36; Sammy Sosa, 41 Happy Birthday: You have to follow your own path. Change is good, so take every opportunity to experience new activities and events, especially if it will add to your wisdom, skills and goals. A hidden matter regarding someone you like will be revealed and can lead to an alteration in your lifestyle. Your numbers are 5, 11, 20, 26, 37, 40, 43 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Just because you are known for your ability to get things done doesn't mean you should let anyone take advantage of you. Do the things that will benefit you most. You have the upper hand this time, so act accordingly. It will set the stage for things to come. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You cannot put up with anyone trying to derail your position or your plans. Someone you have worked with in the past will stand up for you and your ability to do what's right. Don't let your emotions hold you back. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Any challenge should be met with open arms. Refuse to let someone negative ruin your train of thought. Someone who shows an interest in you will also inspire you to do well. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): A bad mood can ruin your plans and set you on a downward spiral. Social activity must be part of your day or you will miss meeting people and making new friends. Don't stick around anyone who is taking you for granted. ★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Find out what's really going on. Someone is not telling you the whole story. Without knowing the facts you cannot assess the situation. You will see things differently once you have distanced yourself from the source of the problem.

★★★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take everyone by surprise by doing something that they least expect. You will end up in a power position that can help you out professionally or personally. You don't need backup to be successful. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Consider what's important and what's not and you will have a much better

view of your situation and what you must do to be successful. Things may be moving a little fast for you but that's no reason to stop in your tracks or shy away. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your reputation counts for something and you may need to pull strings to ensure that everyone knows what you have to offer. Speak from the heart and you will stop any misconceptions. Avoid any form of overindulgence. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may want to take a break and let things ride for now. If you are too vocal about what you want to do or have others do, you will make enemies. Before you make a decision, rethink your strategy. ★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There is plenty to gain by trying something new or diving into a venture that has potential. Your ability to respond with something valuable to those offering you a proposition will lead to greater negotiating power and more cash. ★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Impulse purchases and people wanting to borrow will lead to stress. Talk to people who are money-wise and you will get a better understanding of how to make your money work for you. Quit bad habits. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may want to pick a fight or blame someone for something that probably is just as much your fault. Look at the big picture and you will realize what you have to lose by being difficult. Now is not the time to take an emotional risk. ★★★

The Craig City Council has hired an independent investigator to examine the Craig Police Department’s internal investigation in March of a former detective now charged with three felonies in Moffat County District Court. On Tuesday, the council approved, 7-0, retaining Timothy Leary, of Denver, to review the internal investigation of Ken Johnson, who resigned from the Police Department on Sept. 8, as well as the department’s general policies, procedures and code of conduct. Leary, who is a former captain and commander of the Denver Police Metro/SWAT Bureau, will be paid $90 an hour for his services in addition to other fees. City Manager Jim Ferree said there is no hard cap or estimate for how much the city will spend on the investigation but that Leary will make continuous reports to city officials so they can keep a close eye on the probe. “People are beginning to won-

der what we have going on here, and the best way to show them we’re not sweeping anything under the rug or trying to hide anything is to do this,” Craig Mayor Don Jones said. Craig Police Chief Walt Vanatta said he has sent Leary copies of the internal report and the department’s conduct policies. Leary plans to do some preliminary work in Denver and travel to Craig at a future date. Vanatta added that he welcomed Leary’s assistance. “We welcome a review,” he said. “I have no problem with this at all. … Everybody recognizes we can always do something different and something better.” The Police Department’s investigation of its former detective was the focus of a special City Council meeting Oct. 20 when a few council members expressed disappointment that the department did not find enough evidence to fire Johnson or arrest him. The police investigation was deemed inconclusive, though Johnson was suspended for a week without pay. Johnson was arrested and

charged after a later investigation by the 14th Judicial District Attorney’s Office. Johnson is charged with attempting to influence a public servant, a Class 4 felony; as well as accessory to crime and embezzlement of public property, both Class 5 felonies. He is scheduled to appear at 11 a.m. Friday in district court. All of Johnson’s charges stem from alleged misconduct during his time as a police officer and as a member of the All Crimes Enforcement Team task force and an alleged sexual relationship he had with Craig resident Tausha Merwin. Johnson is suspected of lying to police during the internal investigation about the relationship, aiding Merwin in violating her probation, providing her with information about ongoing law enforcement investigations and giving her a laptop computer and other equipment used by ACET. Vanatta told the council Tuesday that he stands by his department’s investigation, though the benefit of hindsight shows him that ultimately the wrong decision was made.
