ea Croteau is a professional sports car driver, and she wants to borrow your vehicle. And don’t be surprised if your set of wheels seems to have undergone an attitude adjustment when she returns it — Croteau knows how to accelerate out of the corners.

Croteau is a veteran instructor at the Bridgestone Winter Driving School in Steamboat Springs and has driven competitively at road tracks like Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wis., and Watkins Glen, N.Y. Despite her racing pedigree, Croteau isn’t the least bit picky about the cars she borrows.

One cannot afford to be choosy when one’s mission in life is to drive a different automobile every day of the year.

Nor can one afford to be shy when asking complete strangers to hand over their keys.

“I’ve been surprised how few people turn me down,” Croteau said. “Most people say, ‘Sure,

how long do you need it?’ It’s really restored my faith in people — their sense of trust.”

So, for how long does Croteau need your car?

Just long enough to get an impression of it, collect a few facts and photograph it.

Croteau is writing a daily blog (http://365drive.blogspot.com) about the many cars in her life.

After interrupting her automotive career a few years ago to obtain advanced education in industrial design, Croteau missed being around car people and started looking for a way to get reconnected with the industry.

The idea to write a blog based on her experiences driv-

ing a different car every day came to her spontaneously.

“It started as a bet with my friend Heather Vincent,” Croteau said. “We were looking at some old photo albums and I said, ‘Why aren’t I doing these great things as often anymore?’

“I said to Heather, ‘I bet I could drive a different car every week.’”

Croteau’s friend called her bluff and she resolved to launch a blog that would appeal to car enthusiasts. And she decided that instead of driving a different car once a week, she would impose on friends, acquaintances and strangers on a daily basis.

She jumped into it July 6, when she drove a Spec Miata, followed by a Jeep Grand Wagoneer on July 7, followed in succession by an Audi A3, BMW 528i and Porsche 911 RSR. Croteau came back to earth, See Ross, page 11

Lincoln work stops for winter Contractors finish in the nick of time, dodging snowstorm Tom Ross

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Construction on Lincoln Ave­ nue/U.S. Highway 40 wrapped up for the season Thursday, one day before winter arrived in Steamboat Springs.

“The timing could not have been better,” John Murnan said.

He is the project manager for Scott Contracting, of Henderson, which is handling the work.

Murnan said minor punch list

work was completed Thursday, and a walk-through was con­ ducted with city and Colorado Department of Transportation officials.

“You could say we’re de-mobing now,” Murnan said, tossing out slang for demobilizing.

This fall’s underground util­ ity work was a prelude to next spring, when the asphalt pave­ ment on Lincoln Avenue in downtown Steamboat will be replaced by concrete. As the con­ struction work moved from west to east during autumn, orange cones and flag personnel guided traffic around excavated holes in the road.

“We could have stayed lon­ ger, but we saw the forecast. We got our utilities underground before the winter weather came,”

Murnan said.

When the snow melts in the spring and Scott’s crews return to the job, they’ll begin by finish­ ing up some leftover work on storm sewer inlets and some deli­ cate work involving underground electrical lines for stoplights and existing fiber optic cable. Then they’ll dive into the repaving work.

The asphalt will be taken up in chunks by excavating equip­ ment — it won’t be roto-milled, Murnan said.

“Then we’ll put down base, and we’ll have our monster con­ crete paver up there,” he said.

Scott Contracting Site Super­ intendent Cody Patterson told the Steamboat Today this month that the bulk of next spring’s concrete paving will take place at night.

Craig woman gets 60 days in jail for attempted theft Zach Fridell

Pilot & Today staff

Steamboat Springs

Craig woman Lori Wagner on Friday pleaded guilty to attempt­ ed theft and criminal mischief after she was accused of steal­ ing more than $30,000 from a Steamboat Springs real estate com­ pany.

As part of the deal, Wagner paid $35,000 in restitu­ tion, and she will spend 60 days in the Routt County Wagner Jail. She also agreed to 100 hours of com­ munity service and four years of supervised probation. In exchange, the deal gave her a deferred judgment on the felony charge of attempted theft, so if she successfully completes her four-year probation, the charge will not go on her record. The criminal mischief misdemeanor will go on her record regardless.

Fourteenth Judicial District

Judge Shelley Hill rejected a first version of the plea agreement crafted by Routt County Deputy District Attorney Rusty Prindle, Wagner and her attorney, Sam Walter, saying it was too lenient.

Hill said at a previous hearing that she thought the plea agree­ ment was too lenient because it did not include any jail time. The first version of Friday’s agree­ ment had 30 days of jail time, and Hill said she approved but would like to see 90 days, with no work release. The final version Hill accepted had 60 days with no work release, to be started Jan. 7.

Wagner turned over a cashier’s check for the $35,000 in restitu­ tion at the end of the sentencing.

Hill also suggested adding a letter of apology to the victim, Evlyn Berge, owner of Axis West Realty, and Wagner agreed.

Wagner was accused in July of using Berge’s absence from the store to move money from account to account, stealing more than $30,000. Berge attended Friday’s hearing and agreed to the final plea deal.

those crashes, Hutton said.

The Routt County Sheriff’s Office also responded to six cars off the road by Friday afternoon.

Forecasters with the National Weather Service’s Grand Junc­tion office reported a measurement of 8 inches of snow at a location one mile southeast of Steamboat Springs.

The region was under a winter weather advisory through 6 a.m. this morning, but forecaster Tom Renwick said snow could contin-

ue into tonight with an additional 2 to 4 inches likely. Precipitation should remain snow, as opposed to rain.

“It’s not going to get any warmer; I can tell you that,” he said.

Today’s high is forecast at 38 degrees, with an overnight low of 24 degrees.

Mostly sunny skies are forecast through much of next week, with daytime highs in the mid-40s and overnight lows in the 20s.

The season’s first major snowfall was to blame for a slew of car crashes and slide-offs Friday, but police reported no serious injuries. Meanwhile, weather forecasters say at least a couple more inches of snow could fall today and tonight — and that’s on top of the 8 or so inches reported in Steamboat Springs by midafternoon Fri­day.

Colorado State Patrol Trooper Rick Kaspar said his agency responded to six one-car accidents

by Friday afternoon. One was on Rabbit Ears Pass, two on U.S. Highway 40 near Hayden, one on Routt County Road 36 and two more on Colorado Highway 131. Two of those six resulted in tickets being issued to the drivers, Kaspar said.

Steamboat Springs Police Department officers responded to a couple calls, including one crash between a snowplow and a car, Officer Stuart Hutton said. There also was a rollover crash on 13th Street near the James Brown Soul Center of the Universe Bridge.

Jorge Orduno-Acuna was prepared to go through a pre­ liminary hearing on drug charg­ es Friday, but the prosecutor’s mother reportedly suffered a sudden illness early that morn­ ing, and the case was postponed.

Routt County Deputy District Attorney Rusty Prindle told the court that District Attorney Amy Richards had prepared for the case but that her mother suf­ fered a medical incident and was in the hospital.

Routt County Public Defender

Sheryl Uhlmann, representing Or­­ duno-Acuna, said she wanted to go ahead with the pre­ liminary hearing because two inter­ Orduno-Acuna preters, one from Summit County and another from Boulder Coun­ ty, had made the trip to the courthouse for the proceedings.

Routt County Judge James Garrecht granted Prindle’s re­­ quest to continue the hearings and denied a motion by Uhlmann to allow Orduno-Acuna to be released on a personal recogni­ zance bond.

Commentary

When freedom was at high tide Paul Greenberg

Tribune Media Services

“As I looked out a moment ago from the Reichstag, that embodiment of German unity, I noticed words crudely spray-painted upon the wall, perhaps by a young Berliner: ‘This wall will fall. Beliefs become reality.’

Yes, across Europe, this wall will fall. For it cannot withstand faith; it cannot withstand truth. The wall cannot withstand freedom.”

— Ronald Reagan June 12, 1987 It would be hard, 20 Greenberg years later, to recapture the exhilaration of the day the Berlin Wall came tumbling down.

The amazement. The happiness. The first swing of the ax. The thousands, then tens of thousands, then hundreds of thousands pouring across like a great human tide. The joy. Above all, the peace of it.

The hated, feared, despised Stasi were

just standing by, uncertain and overwhelmed. The puppeteers in charge of a puppet state were confounded, uncertain, undone. The irresistible force of freedom was being loosed in Europe without a shot being fired. And more was to come.

How did it happen? Theories abound.

Everybody and his cousin has an explanation, usually about how it was all the result of some quirk, some accident of timing, some unintentional announcement on the part of the authorities. As if freedom were just a result of chance events, a domino effect without anything toppling that first domino. All such explanations confuse immediate and underlying cause, the occasion with the reason.

The great tide had been building for years, for decades. But it would take daring and determination to release it. Walls do not come tumbling down by themselves, however much it might seem that way looking back. There is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood,

leads on to freedom. High tide came Nov. 9, 1989, when the Wall came down, 20 years ago.

There was a time when it took daring for an American president to call tyranny by its right name. For there were always those who saw freedom not as what would end the Cold War and the nuclear arms race it had spawned, but as the spark that would destroy civilization itself.

Any American president who embraced freedom too openly, from a plain-spoken Missourian named Harry Truman to a B-movie actor named Ronald Reagan, was sure to be denounced as a warmonger, a threat to world peace, a dangerous simpleton.

Ronald Reagan did not mince his words. He dared call an evil empire an evil empire. “Tear down this wall!” he told Mikhail Gorbachev when he visited Berlin in 1987. Two years later, the wall was torn down.

A tale of 2 journalists Mary Sanchez

Tribune Media Services

Are journalistic standards holding up under the stresses the profession is facing?

Two recent events offer an opportunity for reflection.

Jayson Blair, the plagiarizing, fabricateas-you-go former New York Times reporter, was invited to speak with journalism students at Washington and Lee University on, of all things, ethics. Blair made for a somber lecturer, banished Sanchez as he is from the profession. To a crowd eager for the opportunities he once had, Blair spoke about how he squandered them.

In other news, firebrand Lou Dobbs resigned from CNN, to the delight of his many critics. For decades the sober, conservative face of CNN, in recent years

Mallard Fillmore

Dobbs has led a personal crusade against illegal immigration that has taken him down a path toward conspiracy mongering and just plain bad journalism. From his perch at “Lou Dobbs Tonight,” he frequently turned over the CNN platform to extremist voices, presenting them as expert commentators. As a result, a coalition of civil rights groups dismayed at his often racially inflammatory rhetoric against immigrants, particularly Latinos, pressured CNN to call Dobbs to heel.

From one point of view, it would be unfair to compare Blair’s gross journalistic misconduct with the peccadilloes Dobbs has committed in pursuit of his obsession.

Blair, you may recall, often did not bother even to go to the cities where he claimed to have conducted face-to-face interviews, including those of injured soldiers returned from Iraq and their anguished families. He preferred to help himself to the work of other reporters, stealing their quotes and descriptions, or simply to con-

coct story details himself. He botched the facts of the Washington, D.C., sniper so badly that law enforcement officials complained.

Dobbs has neither plagiarized nor fabricated stories from thin air. Yet he has consistently stretched and twisted tidbits of truth into grand conspiracy narratives that have little resemblance to reality. In a typical diatribe, Dobbs claimed that one-third of the nation’s prison inmates are illegal immigrants. (In fact, less than 7 percent of inmates are noncitizens, whether here illegally or not.) Dobbs later retracted the claim.

Factoids of this nature are Dobbs’ stock in trade. Sometimes they’re selective accentuations. Sometimes they’re exaggerations. Sometimes it’s hard to believe they’re anything but flat-out lies. But what they add up to is misinformation — exactly what journalism should not be.

Walls do not come down by themselves Who would’ve thought it could happen? It was as inconceivable as a world without a Soviet Union. To this day, sophisticates speak as if the fall of the Wall was some kind of happy accident that just happened to occur on Ronald Reagan’s watch.

My, what a coincidence.

Even now, the received history of the Cold War in liberal versions is that the saintly Mikhail Gorbachev ended it. Wasn’t he Time magazine’s Man of the Year as 1988 dawned? Just as Barack Obama was this year’s winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

It takes a rare liberal (excuse me, progressive) historian, like Princeton’s Sean Wilentz, to let it slip that Ronald Reagan’s “success in helping finally to end the Cold War is one of the greatest achievements by any president of the United States — and argu-

ably the greatest single presidential achievement since 1945.”

Freedom has had its low tides, too. One of Ronald Reagan’s more ineffectual predecessors, Gerald Ford, was reduced to scurrying through the White House at Henry Kissinger’s wily direction lest he be caught publicly shaking hands with Alexander Solzhenitsyn. He might have offended the tyrants in the Kremlin by being seen with the prophet of the age.

The pattern continues. The current occupant of the Oval Office finds excuses not to meet with the Dalai Lama yet, lest people remember that Tibet is still in thrall. Why embarrass our creditors in Beijing? Better to hold our mouths just right in the presence of the world’s tyrants.

We wouldn’t want to offend them.

Yet freedom still calls even when it isn’t heard. The tyran-

nized around the world grow restive, while an American president extends his open hand to their oppressors. On the 30th anniversary of the seizure of the American embassy in Teheran, an uncowed group of protesters gathered to stage their own unofficial, unapproved and unafraid counter-demonstration. Their purpose: to denounce Iran’s stolen election and shout slogans against the dictatorship. One of the chants heard: “Obama, Obama — either you’re with them or with us.” It’s not clear, but the suspicion grows that he’s with them. Mainly, he dithers.

Many of us seem to have forgotten that walls do not come down of themselves. Freedom is not something just to be commemorated. It requires courage, candor, vision, will. A willingness to take risks. Like the risk of speaking out. As in: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”

Journalism is nothing without its ethics It’s worth asking which kind of journalistic malpractice is worse, writing riveting articles about soldiers you’ve never met based on interviews that never happened, or letting loose nightly with inflammatory distortions of an issue that has serious consequences for tens of millions of people?

The journalism profession has bright ethical lines for plagiarism and the kind of fabulation Blair engaged in. You do that kind of thing and get caught, and you’ll never work in journalism again.

Two top Times editors resigned in the wake of Blair’s fall, and its management and newsroom underwent a months-long internal probe into how Blair’s deceptions were allowed to continue.

One of the many fine things about print journalism — or reputable print journalism, anyway — is that there is a system of peer review in place, starting with your newspaper’s copy desk and ending with readers (including watchdog groups and journalists at other papers and magazines) who can call you to account if you are not accurate.

Obviously, it doesn’t always work swiftly or smoothly. Nearly a year before Blair resigned, a metro editor sent a memo up the Times chain of command warning, “stop Jayson from writing for the Times.”

Similar checks and balances exist up to a point in television as well — ask Dan Rather — but it’s hard to conclude that cable networks are seriously interested in upholding standards of accu-

racy and fairness. Cable news is a personality-driven medium, and if a network’s programming chief were to put one of its fire-breathing ratings darlings in the corner with a dunce cap on for offenses against the truth, in short order he’d be watching that star on another network.

In his remarks to the students, Blair admitted, “Somewhere along the way, on my way of climbing upwards, I lost sight of the very reason I entered journalism.”

In a way, that’s a fitting coda to a scandal that shook the nation’s premier newspaper to its very foundations. Journalism is nothing without its ethics. And those ethics endure.

We’ll likely have to wait a long time for such a mea culpa from Dobbs.

“They get a really good sense of socialization and companionship because it’s not just open to Horizons clients, it’s open to anyone who meets the Special Olympics qualifications,” Dwire said. That opens the bowling program up to school-age athletes, though none are participating this year, he said. Athletes also get a sense of competition and accomplishment from the event, he said.

Kevin Kaminski, grand knight for Knights of Columbus Post No. 4462, said his group members sell Tootsie Roll can-

dies to raise money for the annual bowling program. This year, the effort brought in just more than $1,400, he said. Club members also help Special Olympics athletes with bowling, a practice effort Kaminski described as “a crazy good time.”

“They range anywhere from ramp bowlers to pretty darn good bowlers, guys that could beat me any day,” Kaminski said.

Horizons clients have the opportunity to participate in Special Olympics events throughout the year. There’s a track and field competition in the spring, a softball tournament in the summer, and ski racing in the winter.

Each fall, the Horizons team looks forward to the bowling

She muscled up July 13 behind the wheel of a Dodge Magnum.

Five weeks later, on Aug. 21, she belted into a Mazda RX7 Drift with a Corvette engine in it and gave it some exercise on the track at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma Valley, Calif.

Oct. 22 was a special day, when she got behind the wheel of a Porsche RS America right here in Steamboat.

“I kind of let the cars come to me,” Croteau said.

“Sometimes, I have to put myself in a position to meet people, but I don’t start panicking until about 5 p.m.”

Although Croteau often travels to tracks all across the country to get the chance to drive an exotic car, any heap will do on most days; it doesn’t have to be an Audi or the new-

est Lexus. Ordinary commuters are fine, but well-traveled cars that embody a good story are especially sought after.

On Nov. 10, it was a 1982 Volvo GLT turbo wagon named Old Blue, which she borrowed from a friend in Steamboat.

The car has just 184,303 miles on it (long may you run).

Croteau was pleased to see it had a manual transmission and she kept the revs up while she drove it out through ranch country on Twentymile Road.

“The brake failure light is on, but I think we have brakes,” Croteau said reassuringly.

Pausing for a photo shoot, she took pictures of the exterior from all angles, a shot under the hood and another from the back seat. She noted details like the rear-facing third row of seats right on down to the improvised piece of blue twine needed to pull on the hood release.

“This wagon was built like a tank,” she wrote in her blog.

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.

His attorney, Larry Combs, of Steamboat Springs, said that since the 14th Judicial District

Attorney’s Office has not offered to reduce Johnson’s charges to misdemeanors, he would be all right with continuing the case in district court.

Johnson’s charges stem from reported misconduct during his time as a police officer and member of ACET.

BOCES are mandated by the School District Budget Law in the Colorado Revised Statutes to not have “expenditures, interfund transfers or reserves in excess of available revenues and beginning fund balances.”

Vody Herrmann, the public school financing assistant commissioner for the Colorado Department of Education, said Friday that the department would evaluate BOCES’ deficit at a later time. She said the Education Department had not seen the draft audit.

The deficit was revealed during a presentation of the 200809 draft audit during Thursday night’s BOCES board meeting in Hayden. BOCES auditor Timothy Mayberry, of Johnson, Holscher & Co. PC, of Centennial, presented the audit based on the most recent figures he was provided by BOCES. The board took no action on the audit.

Mayberry called the audit a “moving target.” He said it would change after BOCES received the federal stimulus funding and Day Treatment assessments. Mayberry said he hoped to have the final audit completed by the Dec. 9 BOCES superintendents meeting.

In September, BOCES re­­ vealed that it had overspent last year’s budget and needed to increase assessments for services in 2009-10 by more than $481,000 in addition to what was presented in May, when the districts were drafting their budgets.

BOCES is a cooperative agency that provides state-mandated special education services to more than 600 students in six districts in Northwest Colorado, including Steamboat, Hayden and South Routt. It also provides other services, such as the Yampa Valley School, the

“I think there are good questions that haven’t been answered,” she said, but Anderson added that she supported the board’s action.

The board also discussed the Colorado Department of Education’s decision to strip BOCES of its responsibility to distribute federal title funding. That funding usually flows through BOCES to the districts, but instead the districts will receive that funding directly.

“When I first saw the letter, I thought it was a vote of ‘no confidence’ in our BOCES by CDE,” Anderson said.

BOCES just distributed the districts’ checks for 2008-09 title funding, which came to more than $777,000.

After the meeting, Hoza said the districts and superintendents finally were getting clarity to make better decisions, but new information still was being revealed.

Hoza said he thought the board was nearing a resolution to the financial situation. But he admitted that the challenge would be trying to find a way, with declining revenue and tight budgets in each district, to provide the same level of service in future years.

He said the board hadn’t settled its personnel questions.

That will come up when the board meets for a special session, tentatively set for 6 p.m. Nov. 23 in Steamboat. At the meeting, which will be held entirely in executive session, the board plans to discuss the BOCES administration team. That will include discussion about how the BOCES management structure — the executive director, director of special education and finance director — works and related personnel issues.

Routt County districts’ alternative school.

Board members seemed surprised when told that BOCES would still be in the red after applying the stimulus funding and Day Treatment assessments to what they thought was only a $317,000 deficit.

BOCES Finance Director Chloe Flam said the audit revealed that BOCES was short more than it thought, but she and Toothaker wanted to move forward with this year’s budget.

The alternative was waiting for a different solution or requesting additional stimulus funding.

South Routt Superintendent Scott Mader said the BOCES superintendents supported moving on and not picking everything apart.

Flam said she wanted to evaluate this year’s BOCES spending, which has been unclear because of BOCES’ accounting methods in previous years.

A line-item budget wasn’t prepared for the board’s review before Flam was hired in June.

The board approved the 2009-10 budget because it wanted to move forward. Toothaker presented the board with assessments at or near what was originally presented to districts in May. The budget also included cuts and eliminated all but $15,000 in contingencies, which Flam said could be used to help offset the remaining deficit. She said BOCES would evaluate how to make up the rest of the $34,000 through 2009-10.

Board members approved the 2009-10 budget by a 4-1 vote. The board member representing the East Grand School District didn’t attend the meeting. Steamboat representative Laura Anderson voted against the motion, expressing concern with using stimulus funds to make up for last year’s overspending.

Aspen workers jump at starter condos Studios, 1-bedrooms drawing most interest in affordable housing lotteries the aspen times

ASPEN

Workers looking to gain a foothold in Aspen are helping keep one piece of the local real estate market booming — affordable housing.

With fewer than two months left in 2009, the Aspen-Pitkin County Housing Authority has nearly doubled last year’s sales mark with 81 units sold for a total of $18.3 million. In 2008, the authority recorded 43 sales worth a total of $9.3 million.

“It’s mind-boggling to me, how many sales we’ve had this year,” said Cindy Christensen, housing operations manager.

While units sized for families — particularly those in the threeor four-bedroom range — aren’t drawing the interest that they used to, studios and one-bedrooms continue to attract dozens of prospective buyers, the authority’s sales data shows.

“On everything but onebedrooms, it has slowed down,” Christensen said. “The need for the studios and one-bedrooms hasn’t waned at all.”

All of the units that come up for sale, regardless of size, attract bidders, but the pool of buyers looking at the larger units is smaller. Put another way — someone bidding on a larger unit has a better chance of winning a housing lottery than a single person entering a lottery for a onebedroom condo. That has long been the case, but the gap may be even greater these days.

The most recent lottery, held

Among larger units, only a three-bedroom, two-bath Juan Street unit, priced at $256,804, drew comparable interest — 39 bidders.

Prospective buyers include individuals who own free-market housing downvalley but are employed in Pitkin County and looking to move to Aspen, according to Christensen. The hurdle for them is selling their free-market home in a depressed market — they have six months after they close on their worker unit to do so.

son standard. A couple also could bid on a two-bedroom unit, but a group of three — two adults and one dependent, for example — would get priority for a threebedroom unit.

Price and location continue to be considerations that determine which units see the most interest, according to Christensen.

The only listings that are not immediately snapped up in a lottery are priced at more than $500,000 — single-family homes and townhomes in the top tier of worker housing. Ten units have sold for more than $500,000 this year, including two priced at more than $1 million in the North 40 subdivision, where the original lot buyers built their own homes, spending as much as they wished and setting the baseline price in the process. North 40 owners must live and work full-time in Pitkin County — a requirement for virtually all deed-restricted worker housing.

Colorado parents plead guilty in balloon boy saga FORT COLLINS

A Colorado couple who reported their son was aboard a runaway balloon could land in jail after pleading guilty Friday to charges that they made up the story to generate publicity for a possible reality TV show.

Richard Heene appeared before a Larimer County District Court judge first, pleading guilty to a felony count of falsely influencing the sheriff who led the rescue effort during the 50-mile balloon chase that captivated a global TV audience Oct. 15.

Mayumi Heene pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of knowingly filing a false report with emergency services.

Prosecutors said she had a lower level of culpability and cooperated with authorities, telling investigators the balloon launch was a publicity stunt two weeks in the making.

The Heenes are amateur storm chasers and had twice appeared on ABC’s “Wife Swap.” Richard Heene’s business associates said he was trying to pitch a TV series based on science, and the couple had a tentative deal in the works

with RDF USA, which produces “Wife Swap.”

RDF has said it scrapped the plans after the balloon hoax.

New York City trial of 9/11 suspects poses legal risks WASHINGTON

Hauling the professed 9/11 mastermind and four alleged henchmen to a New York courthouse is a risky proposition for President Barack Obama. The move will bar evidence obtained under duress and complicate a case where anything short of slamdunk convictions will empower the president’s critics.

Attorney General Eric Holder announced the decision Friday to bring Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to trial at a lower Manhattan courthouse near the site of the World Trade Center, whose twin towers they will be charged with destroying.

The case is likely to force the civilian federal court to confront a host of difficult issues, including rough treatment of detainees, sensitive intelligence gathering and the potential spectacle of defiant terrorists

Around the nation disrupting proceedings. U.S. civilian courts prohibit evidence obtained through coercion, and a number of detainees were questioned using harsh methods some call torture.

Holder insisted the court system and the untainted evidence against the five men are strong enough to deliver a guilty verdict and the penalty he expects to seek: a death sentence for the deaths of nearly 3,000 people who were killed when four hijacked jetliners slammed into the towers, the Pentagon, and a field in western Pennsylvania.

New Yorkers worry about trial for 9/11 mastermind NEW YORK

The move to put the selfproclaimed Sept. 11 mastermind on trial just blocks from ground zero raises a host of legal, political and security questions, chief among them: Can a fair-minded jury be found in a city still nursing deep wounds from the attack on the World Trade Center?

Some also worry that the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will make New

York an even bigger terrorist target and that he will use the proceedings to incite more violence against Americans.

The loudest protests Friday came from relatives of the victims, many of whom oppose any civilian trial for terror suspects — especially at the federal courthouse 1,000 yards from the spot where nearly 3,000 people died.

“If we have to bring them to the United States, New York City is not the place to have it, let alone in a courthouse that is in the shadows of the twin towers,” said Lee Ielpi, whose firefighter son died in the 9/11 attacks. The city’s wounds, he said, are simply still too raw.

Wealthy buying again, but middle class still hurting American shoppers are splitting again: The affluent are finally starting to buy, picking up designer clothes at places like Nordstrom, while those on the lower economic rungs still are scrimping by, heading to Walmart for the basics.

Recent earnings reports from major retailers suggest the wealthy, who pulled back their spending the hardest during

the financial meltdown last fall, once again are being enticed to open their wallets and go back to higher-end outlets.

Weak dollar no quick fix for narrowing trade gap WASHINGTON

A weaker dollar may boost the nation’s economy by increasing exports and narrowing the trade gap — but that won’t happen anytime soon.

Instead, the nation’s trade deficit increased in September by the largest percentage in a decade as U.S. exports grew for the fifth straight month, but imports rose faster, a government report showed Friday.

That trend is likely to continue until the middle of next year, economists said.

Rising oil prices and higher purchases of foreign goods by U.S. companies drove imports higher. So did more purchases of foreign parts by U.S. manufacturers, which are ramping up production in the fledgling economic recovery.

Higher exports, spurred by a lower dollar, probably won’t reduce the trade gap and boost the U.S. economy until 2011, economists said.

Separating the good and bad Steamboat takes advantage with big plays vs. Berthoud

S

teamboat got what it needed Friday night at Gardner Field — a 24-13 opening-round playoff victory against Berthoud — but it wasn’t always pretty. In a lot of ways, the Sailors struggled.

Much of their troubles were the result of Berthoud being a tough team with big kids who, at times, muscled around the smaller Sailors. And the Spartans weren’t without skilled players of their own. The team’s no-huddle offense moved the ball effectively early in the game.

At times, Steamboat appeared to be on its heels, but two Berthoud miscues made all the difference. The Spartans fumbled on their first two drives, then stalled out on their fourth drive when they failed to convert on an ill-advised fourthand-6 from Steamboat’s 7-yard line.

The mistakes were often and egregious enough that despite Berthoud’s obvious strengths, Steamboat had opportunities to deliver a knockout punch in the first half after going up 14-0.

Steamboat couldn’t, though.

Quarterback Austin Hinder was sacked four times in the first half alone. Several of those, along with another play in which he was hit just as he threw the ball, were of the skull-rattling variety.

Steamboat struggled to run the ball for much of the game.

The Sailors gained just 73 yards in the first half on 18 attempts, a misleading stat considering one of those runs was a 66-yarder.

But those struggles aren’t what should be taken away from the football game.

Instead, what emerged was See Reichenberger, page 18

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

If Friday’s 24-13 openinground playoff win against Berthoud proved anything, it’s that this Steamboat Springs High School football team is so much more than the glitz and glamour of stats in a box score.

On a night when the offense gained a season-low 250 yards and much ballyhooed quarterback Austin Hinder matched his interception total for the season with two, the Sailors simply won with their defense and special teams.

Steamboat limited Berthoud to 266 yards on offense, created three turnovers — including two inside the red zone — and got two monumental returns on matt stensland/staff Steamboat Springs High School senior Austin Hinder avoids a tackle during kicks from Joe Dover.

“It took them a couple Friday night’s game against Berthoud High School.

series,” Steamboat coach Aaron Finch said about his defense.

Berth­­oud “executes the option really, really well. Our guys got it in a couple series. We had guys flying around hitting. You got to play defense when it’s like this. You got to be able to play defense.”

Steamboat certainly did.

The Sailors held a strong Berthoud running attack to just 106 yards on 43 carries, picked up five sacks, caused five 3-andouts and held on a fourth-down play inside their own 10.

“I’m a little out of it right now,” Steamboat linebacker Mitch Lekarczyk said after the win on a chilly night at Gardner Field. “Every person was playing hard. The great thing was, every time I would screw up, someone else would get a sack or something.”

In a classic defensive battle, with weather that would make Green Bay blush, it was just what Steamboat needed to win.

And when the Sailors saw opportunities, they took advantage. The first came midway through the first quarter after Berthoud had its second fumble in as many drives.

The Sailors got the ball at the Spartans 36-yard line and used seven plays before Dover took it in from three yards out to put Steamboat up, 7-0.

“We were just trying for extra yards, and stuff happens,” said Berthoud running back Kent Flynn, who had 48 yards rushing and 116 receiving. “You mishandle the ball or get hit hard. That’s a physical defense right there. I give them all the props in the world. They came out and stopped us and didn’t let us score.”

Then in the second quarter, on the biggest offensive play from either team, Hinder — who despite his struggles throwing ran for 111 yards on 14 carries — turned a broken play into a 66-yard touchdown scamper up the right sideline for a 14-0 lead.

With it still a game, Dover took the opening kick of the second half 84 yards to set up a 26-yard Pete Schuette field goal, giving the Sailors a 17-0 lead.

After holding Berthoud to a 3-and-out, Dover went to work again.

This time, he fielded a punt at his own 30-yard line and took it 70 yards for a 24-0 lead with 8 minutes, 20 seconds left in the third quarter.

“It was redemption. I wanted to go faster and pick my legs up, but the cold got to me on that first one,” Dover said. “That second one, once I got out of the pile, I just had to beat one

Berthoud didn’t give up. The Spartans went 83 yards on 13 plays, capping the drive with a 5-yard touchdown run from Chase Fraser to cut the lead to 24-7.

The defense again held Steamboat to a 3-and-out and used only 47 seconds before Flynn’s 7-yard touchdown scamper cut the lead to 24-13 with 3:05 left in the game.

Steamboat recovered the ensuing onside kick, picked up two first downs and was able to run out the clock.

“We’re inside the red zone three times, and we come up empty,” Berthoud coach Dan McGinn said. “They get two good returns by their kid and that’s the difference in the game.

They didn’t do anything we didn’t think they would do. We just need to learn inside the 15 and the 10 we’ve got to finish.

That was it.”

Steamboat must limit its own mistakes Reichenberger continued from 15 an intelligent and talented Steamboat team. Despite their struggles, the Sailors mostly avoided the glut of mistakes that Berthoud stumbled into — no easy feat on a bonechillingly cold night. Equally important, Steamboat capitalized on nearly every break it got.

The Sailors weren’t dominant on offense. They gave up two sacks on their first offensive possession and went three-and-out on two of their next three opportunities. But they pieced together a crucial seven-play, 36-yard drive on the other possession in that string, turning Berthoud’s sec-

ond fumble into a two-yard Joe Dover touchdown dive and a 7-0 lead.

They followed that drive up with two poor possessions, but when Hinder found a seam rushing the ball in the second quarter, he flew down the field 66 yards for a touchdown and a 14-0 lead.

Steamboat continued to capitalize on big plays into the second half. A long Joe Dover kickoff return set up a field goal. Then Dover returned an interception 70 yards for another score.

Glance at any one series of plays from Friday’s game, and it might not be apparent that Steamboat is one of the state’s top seeds, or even that the team

was en route to a big victory against a lower-seeded foe.

Play for play, Berthoud matched up well and played a tough game.

Steamboat dominated with big plays, however, and the Spartans couldn’t even come close to matching the Sailors in that regard.

The Sailors took advantage of big-play opportunities throughout the night. The game wasn’t always beautiful, but it was a very promising sign. Keep mistakes few and far between and punish opponents for their own: That’s how teams win championships.

’Melo gets better of Artest as Nuggets whip Lakers DENVER

Carmelo Anthony got the better of Ron Artest, scoring 25 points in 29 minutes and leading the Denver Nuggets past the Los Angeles Lakers, 105-79, Friday night.

The Lakers’ six-game winning streak was snapped. They scored just eight points in the third quarter as the Nuggets turned a two-point halftime lead into an 87-64 cushion.

Held to seven points in less than 12 first-half minutes because of foul trouble, Anthony scored 10 quick points in the third quarter to give the Nuggets (7-3) a double-digit lead and turn this one into a laugher. ’Melo’s run was highlighted by his steal from Lamar Odom and a breakaway basket. After that, the Lakers (7-2) looked like a team coming off a late game in Los Angeles the night before.

Mavericks 89, Timberwolves 77

Nowitzki scored 15 of his 20 points in a tense third quarter and had 11 rebounds to lead the Dallas Mavericks to a 89-77 victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night.

Nowitzki only had a quiet five points and five rebounds in the first half before jawing with Timberwolves rookie Jonny Flynn five minutes into the third.

Magic 88, Nets 72 ORLANDO, Fla.

Dwight Howard had 26 points and 12 rebounds, Matt Barnes added 13 points and 13 rebounds, and Orlando put away winless New Jersey.

New Jersey got a tripledouble from point guard Rafer Alston, the first triple-double of his career, but the Nets fell to 0-9. They are the NBA’s only winless team.

A little confrontation woke Dirk Nowitzki right up.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You'll get greater understanding from someone who finally gets what you are trying to do. A past connection will come to mind and can work into your plans in the future. Put together a team of people you feel confident can contribute to your goals. ★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A

chance to make a positive change is apparent if you get in touch with someone from your past who is working in a field you are pursuing.

Get your resume up to date and prepare to make some phone calls or send e-mails that will contribute to your future success. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don't start a fight with someone over something that doesn't really matter. Observe what's going on and store up information to use as ammunition at a later date. Choose your battles wisely. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Being straight with others will be what counts if you want to make progress. Don't jump into something that's offered too quickly. Don't put your money into other people's ventures when it's your own you should be investing in. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Network, socialize and have fun. If you show your playful side, you'll attract interesting attention.

You will come across someone with plans similar to yours. Collaborate and you will save time and find a way to work alongside one another.

Cathy ® Cathy Guisewite

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The people around you may be confusing or misleading. Talk honestly about the way you feel and what you want to do and someone will help you reach your goals. Don't become a follower when you should be a leader. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Good fortune is apparent. Consider what's being offered and prepare to take advantage. You can reconnect with someone from your past if you make the first move. Find a way to make personal improvements that will lead to more confidence and greater self-esteem. ★★★★★ Birthday Baby: You are intuitive and emotional. You have an original way of seeing things and dealing with situations. You are unique and creative.

Obama hails expanded US engagement in Asia Jennifer Loven

the associated press

TOKYO

President Barack Obama declared Saturday that an era of American disengagement in the globe’s fastest-growing region is over and warned that the U.S. and its Asian partners “will not be cowed”

by North Korea’s continued defiance about its nuclear weapons and other provocations.

“It should be Obama clear where that path leads,” Obama said. “We will continue to send a clear message through our actions and not just our words: North Korea’s refusal to meet its international obligations will lead only to less security, not more.”

Calling for greater U.S. engagement in Asia, Obama said Americans should not fear a robust China, but he cautioned that all nations must respect human rights, including religious freedoms.

“We welcome China’s efforts to play a greater role on the world stage, a role in which their growing economy is joined by growing

responsibility,” Obama said.

Obama offered an incentive for North Korea to abandon the nuclear weapons it is believed to already have and the production program it continues in defiance of U.N. Security Council resolutions.

He outlined a possible future of economic opportunity and greater global greater security and respect.

“This respect cannot be earned through belligerence,” he said.

More broadly, the president’s speech to 1,500 prominent Japanese in a soaring downtown Tokyo concert hall was intended to showcase a United States that, under Obama’s leadership, seeks deeper and more equal engagement in Asia. It was the fifth major foreign address of Obama’s 10-month presidency, this one geared toward setting a new tone for the sometimes-rocky U.S. relationship with the region.

Acknowledging Asia’s growing power and perception of America’s parallel decline here, Obama aides and the president himself had said the chief aim for his eight-day trip through Asia wasn’t so much to bring home specific “deliverables” but to convincingly press the point that the U.S. very much is in the Asian game.

A government lawyer argued before the Supreme Court Friday that courts do not have the right to order authorities to seek Khadr’s repatriation.

around the world MOSCOW

Huge explosions and flames ripped through a Russian military arsenal for hours Friday, killing two firefighters and sending personnel fleeing to a bomb shelter to wait out the worst of the firestorm, officials said.

The dozens who took refuge in the shelter were at first feared trapped in the conflagration, but later emerged safe — dispelling initial worries of a high death toll. But a subsequent report said 11 others were unaccounted for.

Russian TV broadcast footage of orange flames and thick smoke clouds rising from the naval munitions facility in Ulyanovsk, a city 430 miles east of Moscow.

Frequent explosions set off firebursts high in the night sky. The blasts broke apartment windows near the facility and set off car alarms miles away, residents told Russian media.

The blasts and blaze erupted while ammunition was being destroyed at the facility, according to the Federal Security Service branch in the province. Artillery shells and other munitions were stored at the

site, state-run Channel One reported.

Two firefighters were killed, and seven military personnel were injured, Defense Ministry spokesman Alexei Kuznetsov said.

North Korea vows to defend itself after clash

SEOUL, South Korea

Canada Supreme Court hears Guantanamo case

North Korea warned it will aggressively defend itself in disputed waters where a bloody naval clash with rival South Korea took place last week, though tempered its rhetoric by indicating it wants better relations with Seoul and Washington.

The exchange of fire off the western coast was the first in seven years and came before a trip to Seoul by President Barack Obama. A senior South Korean military officer said one North Korean officer died and three others were wounded. South Korea suffered no casualties.

North Korea’s warning Friday — issued by a highranking military officer — follows vows to punish South Korea carried in North Korean state newspapers Thursday.

The military also repeated its demand that South Korea apologize for Tuesday’s skirmish.

OTTAWA

Canada’s federal government is urging the country’s top court to overturn a judicial order that obligates the government to seek the repatriation of the youngest detainee held by the U.S. at Guantanamo Bay. Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper steadfastly has refused to request the return of Omar Khadr, the last Western detainee held at the prison at the U.S. Navy base in Cuba.

Harper has said the U.S. legal process must be allowed to play itself out.

Khadr, who was born in Toronto, is now 23 years old but was only 15 when he was captured after allegedly killing an American soldier with a grenade during a 2002 battle in Afghanistan. Authorities say his family has close links

VNA program offers rewards Smoking continued from 6 ticipants get a monthly carbon dioxide screening, Cook said. If that screen is negative — meaning the woman isn’t smoking — the participant gets a $25 voucher to buy diapers at Walmart. Any woman who makes it through a full year of negative monthly screenings graduates from the program and gets a free family pass to Old Town Hot Springs.

“Most of these women come in here motivated that they want to quit smoking and that they want this to be the time that they quit forever,” Cook said.

To attract program participants, Cook leaves fliers at area obstetrician offices and explains the program to doctors there.

Many participants learn about “Baby and Me” when they come to VNA to file for insurance assistance during their pregnancy, Cook said.

“Baby and Me” started in New York in 2002, spread to Colorado a few years ago, and came to Routt and Moffat counties in 2008. So far, 25 women have enrolled in Steamboat Springs, and 36 have enrolled in Craig, Cook said.

Cook uses various methods to encourage women to stay away from smoking, from handing them educational material about the health effects of smoking to encouraging them to chew sunflower seeds or straws — anything to calm the craving, Cook said.

Chotvacs said regular visits and support from Cook were as helpful as any smoking cessation technique. And the $25 monthly diaper voucher came close to covering that expense completely for a year, she said.

Cook said she offers as many encouraging words as possible to program participants.

“I just encourage them, jump up and down, and say, ‘Wow, you’re doing such a great thing for yourself and your child,’” Cook said. “And I think they get that. Once they start on the path of not smoking and enter that world of nonsmokers, they think it’s a nice place to be.”
