that building contractors are going through. “By raising fees, we can extend services. When things turn around, our hope is to be able to return to the lower fee structure,” Dunham said. The department’s fund bal ance has declined by about $800,000 this year, he said. “We started 2009 with $2.33 million in our operating fund,” Dunham wrote in a memo to the City Council. “With pro jected revenue of $600,000 in
2009, our fund will diminish to $1.53 million at the end of the year. We are budgeting that our level of construction will be consistent from 2009 to 2010.” If construction activity rem ains flat next year, and the fee increases are approved, the building department expects to receive $900,000 in revenues against a personnel and opera tions budget of $1.265 million. The deficit would eat further See Council, page 13

reading Wallace Stegner’s “Beyond the Hundredth Meridian — John Wesley Powell and the Second Opening of the West.” In some ways, I wish I had read the book before taking my own trip down the Grand Canyon two years ago. But having survived that float, my own experience enriched my reading of Stegner’s monumental work. And I’m confident that if you are passionate about the West, its mighty rivers and deep canyons, you’ll value the insights to be gleaned from this account of Powell’s improbable first-ever exploration of the Green and Colorado rivers in heavy wooden boats.

emotional well-being and our physical well-being are not separable.” Along with the holistic view, Henneberry also engaged in pragmatic discussions of health care issues Monday. About 500,000 people in Colorado receive Medicaid assistance, she said. The passage of the state’s Health Care Affordability Act this year, she said, will add about 100,000 uninsured citizens to that tally. Within the next year, she said, her department plans to provide an online application process for Medicaid benefit and children’s health insurance plans, so those eligible for Medicaid can receive care faster. “Our goal as a state is to get from what is a 45- to 60-day process down to two weeks or less,” she said. She also cited development of the Colorado Regional Health Information Organization, online at www.corhio.org, a health information exchange project to provide doctors with faster, more accurate access to a patient’s medical history. “There are still way too many times where providers have to rely on patients to remember what happened to them,” Henneberry said, citing the challenges of a patient remembering multiple medications or procedures undertaken years ago. Henneberry also cited a need for greater transparency regarding insurance rates for services and cost inconsistencies — the rates for the same service can differ at various hospitals, she said. State legislation that would create a database to compare rates across the state is planned for 2010, she said. Henneberry said her office is closely monitoring national health care reform legisla-
tion and “scoring” proposed components for their potential affects on Colorado. The U.S. House of Representatives passed a health care reform bill Nov. 7, shifting focus to the U.S. Senate, which is awaiting a health care proposal for debate on the Senate floor. Local health officials said Monday that they appreciated attention from the state level. “It’s nice to know that there are ears,” said Dace Kramer, of the VNA.

Gov. Bill Ritter’s senior health policy adviser touted the importance of wellness initiatives and preventive care Monday in Steamboat Springs. Joan Henneberry is executive director of the state’s Department of Health Care Policy & Financing. As Congress continues to debate national health care reform, Henneberry came to Steamboat to discuss state and national issues and their local impacts. Her visit included a morning tour of the Rollingstone Respite House and a wide-ranging afternoon discussion with local health officials. The Respite House opened in August at 1500 Pine Grove Road to provide a hospice facility and adult day services for the elderly, and a meeting place for groups such as Reaching Everyone Preventing Suicide. Sue Birch, chief executive officer of the Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association, said the VNA is exploring multiple uses for the Respite House to make the facility sustainable. VNA board member Mary Brown added that the board could pursue creation of a new state licensing category for rural, mixed-use health facilities. Henneberry said that kind of creative, tailored approach is “very conducive with Gov. (Bill) Ritter’s agenda” for state health policy, noting that small, rural communities often have to “cobble together what makes sense for them.” Henneberry did not make that statement in a negative light. Rather, throughout the day Monday she stressed that “collective caring” health systems found in rural communities — where resources are often shared and tailored to local needs and demographics — can be models for a changing national health care system that should be promoting a “culture of health” rather than “just paying the bills.” “I think it’s going to take a fundamental shift in thinking by communities about health and wellness,” she said. “Our

out there beyond the stars of Sculptor? For starters, we see another beautiful “milky way” spinning in space, a galaxy known as NGC 253. Nicknamed the Silver Coin Galaxy, it probably looks much the same to us as our Milky Way must look to any curious eyes gazing our way from 10 million light years out. It is an easy target for binoculars or a small telescope on clear, dark November nights. Nearby, and in the same binocular field of view with the Silver Coin Galaxy, is a galactic interloper that circles our own galaxy, a colossal cluster of stars named NGC 288. A mere 29,000 light years away, NGC 288 contains some of the oldest stars in our galaxy, red giants that have been shining for as much as 12 billion years. To locate Sculptor, look due south and close to the horizon at about 9 p.m. in mid-November, just east (left) of the bright star Fomalhaut and south of the bright star Deneb Kaitos.

Affordable housing, urban chickens on tap tonight STEAMBOAT SPRINGS
With election season in its rearview mirror, the new Steamboat Springs City Council is about to stomp on the gas pedal. The group will get right to work tonight at Centennial Hall, where it is slated to address hot-button issues including affordable housing regulations, Comcast fees, temporary use of Ski Time Square, the Routt County Regional Building Department and even urban chickens. The meeting begins at 4:30 p.m. with interviews of prospective new members for the Urban Redevelopment Authority Advisory Committee, which recommends policy decisions regarding the base of Steamboat Ski Area. For Jim Engelken, who served on City Council from 1995 to 2001 and was re-elected Nov. 3, tonight’s meeting represents a return to discussion of affordable housing, an issue he advocated for in his prior service and campaigned on this time around. There are two housing-related ordinances on the table. One ordinance up for second and the potentially final reading tonight would establish a process to advertise funds generated by fee-in-lieu payments, which developers pay the city in lieu of providing affordable housing units. The ordinance also would create a grant application for those funds and establish criteria for their use. The second ordinance is stickier. That proposal, also up

for second reading, would allow developers an option of paying 50 percent of a required fee-in-lieu — as opposed to 100 percent — if that payment is accompanied by a voluntary real estate transfer fee on every transfer of every unit in the development. Homebuyers would pay the transfer fee. Tom Leeson, director of the city’s Department of Planning and Community Development, said the fee-in-lieu paid to the city would not change, but its source would. “It does change the amount the developer pays, by half,” Leeson said. The ordinance also would

change when the city receives feein-lieu revenue. Developers would pay either 100 or 50 percent of the fee-in-lieu up front, but the city would receive the transfer fees — at 0.2 percent of each unit’s gross sales price — over time, as units are transferred. Leeson and City Manager Jon Roberts said the voluntary transfer fee option has the potential to generate more revenue for the city than a 100 percent, up front fee-in-lieu payment, because the transfer fees would continue to be assessed after the fee-in-lieu amount has been reached. Engelken said he wants to hear more about whether a transfer fee would violate the state’s Taxpayers Bill of Rights, or TABOR, which prohibits transfer taxes. “A voluntary real estate transfer fee sure looks like a transfer tax — I don’t doubt that at some point in time this is going to be challenged,” Engelken said. “The answer from attorneys seems to vary.” Leeson said city staff members have discussed the issue with city attorney Tony Lettunich See City Council, page 13

Some local television surfers might have spied seven new channels — including four in high definition — added to their Comcast cable lineup this month. Four of the channels are high-definition versions of the major broadcast networks, and the others are weather, sports and Spanish-language channels. Comcast spokeswoman Cindy Parsons said Steamboat Springs was “one of the last areas we had to upgrade to get these additional channels.” One channel that may be of local interest is NBC Universal Sports, a channel that focuses on “Olympic and lifestyle sports programming,” according to its Web site. On Nov. 28 and 29, the channel will broadcast women’s slalom events from the FIS Alpine World Cup in Aspen. Parsons said the high-definition broadcast channels — KMGH’s ABC, KUSA’s NBC,
Franchise In a separate action, the Steamboat Springs City Council is scheduled to hear a first reading of a renewal of Comcast’s franchise agreement at tonight’s meeting. Comcast pays the city 3 percent under the current agreement to use public right-of-way for aboveground and underground cables. In 2008, that netted the city $133,957. In the agenda item from city staff, the City Council members are asked to decide whether the fee should increase from 3 percent to 4 or 5 percent. Five percent is the highest fee allowed by law. According to Comcast information, almost all other Colorado communities have
the fees set at 5 percent. For a basic cable subscriber paying $53 per month, the 3 percent fee equates to $19 per year. If the fee were increased to 5 percent, that would be $32 per year per subscriber. Raising the fee from 3 to 5 percent also would increase city income by nearly $90,000, based on 2008 revenue. City Manager Jon Roberts said the city budget is balanced with a 3 percent franchise fee and that the extra money is not required but that there are also no rules governing when the fee should be increased. “There’s not really any kind of empirical decision for what the franchise fee should be,” Roberts said. “It’s purely a judgment issue.” The council also will determine whether to add a 50 cent per customer Public, Education and Government fee, something Roberts said he does not see a reason for because it’s not clear what additional programming would be offered. City staff has worked on updating the franchise agreement, first signed with TCI in 1981 and most recently updated with Comcast in 1997, for about 14 months. — To reach Zach Fridell, call 871-4208 or e-mail zfridell@steamboatpilot.com

Commentary
Do you have something to say about a story we’ve written?
World out of balance Paul Krugman
The New York Times
International travel by world leaders is mainly about making symbolic gestures. Nobody expects President Barack Obama to come back from China with major new agreements, on economic policy or anything else. But let’s hope that when the cameras aren’t rolling, Obama and his hosts engage in some frank talk about currency policy. For the problem Krugman of international trade imbalances is about to get substantially worse. And there’s a potentially ugly confrontation looming unless China mends its ways. Some background: Most of the world’s major currencies “float” against one another. That is, their relative values move up or down depending on
market forces. That doesn’t necessarily mean that governments pursue pure hands-off policies: countries sometimes limit capital outflows when there’s a run on their currency (as Iceland did last year) or take steps to discourage hot-money inflows when they fear that speculators love their economies not wisely but too well (which is what Brazil is doing right now). But these days, most nations try to keep the value of their currency in line with long-term economic fundamentals. China is the great exception. Despite huge trade surpluses and the desire of many investors to buy into this fastgrowing economy — forces that should have strengthened the renminbi, China’s currency — Chinese authorities have kept that currency persistently weak. They’ve done this mainly by trading renminbi for dollars, which they have accumulated in vast quantities. And in recent months, China has
carried out what amounts to a beggarthy-neighbor devaluation, keeping the yuan-dollar exchange rate fixed even as the dollar has fallen sharply against other major currencies. This has given Chinese exporters a growing competitive advantage over their rivals, especially producers in other developing countries. What makes China’s currency policy especially problematic is the depressed state of the world economy. Cheap money and fiscal stimulus seem to have averted a second Great Depression. But policymakers haven’t been able to generate enough spending, public or private, to make progress against mass unemployment. And China’s weak-currency policy exacerbates the problem, in effect siphoning much-needed demand away from the rest of the world into the pockets of artificially competitive Chinese exporters. See Krugman, page 9
Trying terrorists in US is dangerous Cal Thomas
Tribune Media Services
The Obama administration has chosen the wrong New York venue to try five coconspirators in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. Instead of a Manhattan courtroom less than a mile from the site of where the World Trade Center stood, the government should have chosen the Bronx Zoo, because a zoo is what will be created when this terrorist trial is held. In announcing the Thomas decision to try in a civilian court these “enemy combatants,” as the Bush administration rightly described them, Attorney General Eric Holder said, “For over 200 years, our nation has relied on a faithful adherence to the rule of law to bring criminals to justice and provide accountability to
Mallard Fillmore
victims. Once again, we will ask our legal system to rise to that challenge, and I am confident it will answer the call with fairness and justice.” I’m not. The administration’s first mistake is to label these men “criminals,” as if a terrorist attack and the announced objective of forcibly “Islamisizing” America were the same as robbing a bank. The 9/11 terrorist attacks were an act of war, as much as if a nation-state had attacked us. Trials should not be held for war criminals until the war has been won. House Minority Leader John Boehner correctly called civilian trials a victory for liberal special-interest groups, which put those groups’ interests “before the safety and security of the American people.” Boehner added, “The possibility that Khalid Sheik Mohammed and his coconspirators could be found ‘not guilty’ due to some legal technicality just blocks from Ground Zero should give every
American pause.” The trial also could serve as a venue for trying the Bush administration and second-guessing decisions that kept America safe after 9/11. Secrets might be revealed that could be used by terrorists to harm us again. And if the terrorists must have a jury of their peers, does that mean fellow Muslims might be included? Could that end in a hung jury or a mistrial? Attorney General Holder assures us that conviction of the “criminals” is a virtual certainty. Anyone who follows our quirky court system knows that innocent people are in prison and murderers walk the streets. It is anything but a foregone conclusion that these men will be convicted, but it is likely that damage will be done to the United States, which is the primary objective of the terrorists. What do we hope to accomplish by trying these mass murderers on U.S. soil? See Thomas, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

Scale of China problem has been masked Chinese trade surpluses with the suffering of unemployed American workers. If I were the Chinese government, I’d be really worried about that prospect. Unfortunately, the Chinese don’t seem to get it: Rather than face up to the need to change their currency policy, they’ve taken to lecturing the United States, telling us to raise interest rates and curb fiscal deficits — that is, to make our unemployment problem even worse. And I’m not sure the Obama administration gets it, either. The administration’s statements on Chinese currency policy seem pro forma, lacking any sense of urgency. That needs to change. I don’t begrudge Obama the banquets and the photo ops; they’re part of his job. But behind the scenes, he better be warning the Chinese that they’re playing a dangerous game.
20541153
But why do I say that this problem is about to get much worse? Because for the past year the true scale of the China problem has been masked by temporary factors. Looking forward, we can expect to see China’s trade surplus and America’s trade deficit surge. That, at any rate, is the argument made in a new paper by Richard Baldwin and Daria Taglioni, of the Graduate Institute, Geneva. As they note, trade imbalances, both China’s surplus and America’s deficit, recently have been much smaller than they were a few years ago. But, they argue, “these global imbalance improvements are mostly illusory — the transitory side effect of the greatest trade collapse the world has ever seen.” Indeed, the 2008-09 plunge in world trade was one for the
record books. What it mainly reflected was the fact that modern trade is dominated by sales of durable manufactured goods — and in the face of severe financial crisis and its attendant uncertainty, both consumers and corporations postponed purchases of anything that wasn’t needed immediately. How did this reduce the U.S. trade deficit? Imports of goods like automobiles collapsed; so did some U.S. exports; but because we came into the crisis importing much more than we exported, the net effect was a smaller trade gap. But with the financial crisis abating, this process is going into reverse. Last week’s U.S. trade report showed a sharp increase in the trade deficit between August and September. And there will be many more reports along those lines. So picture this: month after month of headlines juxtaposing soaring U.S. trade deficits and

Thomas continued from 8 Will it produce more troops from our NATO allies to finish the job in Afghanistan? Not likely. When the world sees how good and fair we are, will it love America more and will terrorists decide to kill us less? Only in the world of make believe inhabited by ACLU lawyers. This trial will be broadcast worldwide. It will show America’s enemies, not the “fairness” of our justice system, but a group of men who can stand up to “the great Satan” and shake their fists in our face. It will
also serve as a recruiting video for future terrorists because it will demonstrate what, to them, is weakness. A strong nation would have tried these men in the military tribunals Congress authorized for that purpose. A weak nation imputes rights to noncitizens who want to do away with the very rights we now are going to afford them. You don’t need an imagination to predict that crazies will show up at this trial, including Islamic terrorists in training who want to emulate the acts of the defendants. Some might be “inspired” to create another
event at or near the courthouse. Cable TV will carry it all. What if the terrorists are acquitted? Who will take the blame? It won’t be President Barack Obama. Because of numerous motions, the trial likely will be delayed for three to five years. Obama will either be out of office or into a second term by then. For those who believe this is a very bad decision with little upside for America, the best we might hope for is that the judge is a Jewish woman. That would be sweet revenge for these misogynist anti-Semites.

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.

Board approves salary increase Administrators and directors given half-percent raises Jack Weinstein
PILOT & TODAY STAFF
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS
The Steamboat Springs School Board approved a onehalf percent salary increase for administrators and directors in the 2009-10 budget Monday night. The administrators and directors — excluding Superintendent Shalee Cunn ingham — were the last group of district employees to receive raises this school year. They agreed to wait until after the Oct. 1 pupil count to see if there was enough funding in the bud-
get for the district to provide them with raises. During the summer, the district’s Collaborative Bargaining Team approved an agreement that would provide staff members with salary step increases, which cost the district $325,000 of its $22 million budget, but not increases to their base salaries. District employees who were off the salary schedule — meaning their experience and education levels left them with no possibility of a salary step increase — also didn’t initially receive raises. They did after the pupil count last month, at a cost to
the district of about $10,000. On Monday, board members approved by a 4-1 vote the nearly $6,100 in administrator and director salary increases, which will be given at Cunningham’s discretion based on evaluations. Board member Laura Anderson opposed the motion. Anderson said she would have liked to approve the salary increase, but given the current “fiscal crisis,” said the money should be “saved for a rainy day.” Passage of the half-percent See School Board, page 14

Amy Larson’s appreciation for the men and women who served in the armed forces began at an early age. While growing up in Hot Springs, S.D., the current Soda Creek Elementary School music teacher sang to veterans at the local VA hospital. She said that experience has stayed with her. “I saw them from that light as a young person,” Larson said. “I believe it started me on the path of honoring vets.” Larson, who’s been at Soda Creek for nine years, organizes the school’s annual Veterans Day program. During the program, fifth-graders sing and recite messages to thank local vets in attendance. That program is the reason Larson was recognized last

Powell led 1 era of westward exploration

skills,” she said. “That’s definitely a good life skill.” Larson also received a statewide award from the American Legion in 2006. Soda Creek Principal Judy Harris called Larson an “amazing music educator.” “She works hard on integrating music with our overall educational plan — working with others both in our school and with other music teachers in the district,” she said. “I just love her influence with kids, parents and certainly our staff.”
that would become known as The Gates of Lodore on May 24, 1869. His boats had arrived by train from Illinois two weeks earlier and just one day after the golden spike completing the transcontinental railroad was driven into the ground. When you think about it, Powell launched one era of westward exploration virtually at the same time another era was coming to a close. One year before Powell set off down the Green, he led a group of amateur naturalists from Illinois on a preliminary exploration of the headwaters of the Colorado River. They arrived in Denver in the spring of 1868 and set off with pack animals to hike across Berthoud Pass and into Middle Park, setting up camp along with Denver dignitaries near Hot Sulphur Springs. William N. Beyers, editor of The Rocky Mountain News, acted as a host of sorts. He had set up a summer camp
there and wrote glowing reports about the landscape. Stegner writes that, “In his letters to the paper he (Beyers) glowed about the fishing, the grass, the color and the pageantry of the Utes of Antero and Douglas, eighty lodges of them, camped along the river.” Imagine a time when Denver was a city in bloom but dudes from the city camped along the river amidst the lodges of the natives. It’s hard to imagine today, but there was such a time. From there, they crossed the Rabbit Ears Range, skirted the Yampa River and set off to follow the White River to its confluence with the Green. After wintering with the Utes near what is now Meeker, they explored the mouth of the White and noted the mild temperament of the Green at that location before trekking north overland to Green River, Wyo., where Powell would launch his boats the following spring. Any contemporary
Northwest Colorado river rat who has felt a sense of adventure upon setting out down Lodore or Yampa Canyon, Cataract Canyon or the Grand Canyon, can appreciate what Powell and his group of intrepid travelers must have felt before setting off into the unknown and the dangers that lay ahead. Stegner described the feeling as well as anyone ever has: “There is something ominous about a swift river, and something thrilling about a river of any kind. The nearest upstream bend is a gate out of mystery, the nearest downstream bend a door to further mystery … a mystery clothed in rumor, secret water trails where perhaps even Indians had not passed.” If you’re not familiar with the prose of Stegner, or more likely, if you know him far better than I, come look me up at Goodreads.com and make a recommendation. — To reach Tom Ross, call 871-4205 or e-mail tross@steamboatpilot.com

award for Colorado, which was awarded for the same time period. Weiss said Larson would have been recognized sooner, but Soda Creek didn’t have the Veterans Day program last year because the school still was using a temporary facility while the new building was being constructed. Weiss said the local VFW post each year nominates a teacher who goes above and beyond in showing patriotism and support to local veterans. He said Larson’s Veterans Day
program also may encourage students to join the military after high school, but more importantly, instills in them an appreciation for veterans. “It’s nice to not only see a very supportive teacher, but the school system backing her up,” Weiss said. “It would be nice to see more teachers and schools do this. We’d like to see more of it.” Larson said being recognized for honoring vets and trying to instill that appreciation in students was “pretty humbling.” “As a teacher, your job is to teach skills, but also to be a good role model and teach life

Department will carry a balance of $1M into new year
Urban chickens to be discussed City Council continued from 5 and noted that a developer can choose to assess the voluntary real estate transfer fees or to pay the full fee-in-lieu. “That gives us a little comfort with it from a legal standpoint,” Leeson said. Also tonight, Ski Time Square developers The Atira Group are scheduled to update City Council about options for interim uses of Ski Time Square, while development plans are processed and construction is planned. The City Council also will address the first reading of an ordinance that would allow as many as
seven chicken hens in some of the city’s residential districts and regulate such use. City planner Bob Keenan said in September that the ordinance was crafted in response to local requests and a local food movement across the country. Roberts declined to comment whether chickens should be allowed in the city, saying that is up to the public and City Council. “I haven’t lived in the community long enough to have an opinion,” Roberts said. — To reach Mike Lawrence, call 871-4233 or e-mail mlawrence@steamboatpilot.com
be getting held up by building department inspections,” Monger said. The fact that building permit and plan check fees are paid in advance would help the department rehire, but Commissioner Diane Mitsch Bush expects the timing of rehires to be tricky. “At first electrical inspection (for example) those subs are going to be tightly scheduled,” Mitsch Bush said. “If one inspection stalls, it gets backed up.” Dunham said the next round of layoffs would be painful because the next employees to go would each represent 27 years of experience and training. “We’re a construction company, one with a specialized skill set,” Dunham said. “It’s tough. We’ve had a good run.”

Stagecoach sewer vaults a hot topic The Routt County Board of Commissioners will conduct a public hearing at 5:30 p.m. today in the Routt County Courthouse to consider a bid by the Morrison Creek Water and Sanitation District Board to reduce from 600 to 30 the number of permits allowing sewage vaults for 1,500 platted lots in Stagecoach. The district maintains that its treatment plant could not cope with the abrupt increase in loads that resulted when the contents of the number of approved vaults were pumped and delivered to the treatment plant by truck. The implications are that subdivisions in Stagecoach would have to pursue other means of wastewater treatment, including forming local improvement districts to install the sewer lines needed to tie into the district’s wastewater treatment facilities.

failure of a motion to provide administrators and directors with a 1 percent salary increase. That would have cost the district $12,100. In addition to Anderson, board members Denise Connelly and Brian Kelly voted against the motion. Board President Robin Crossan and board member Lisa Brown supported the motion. Kelly, when providing an explanation about why he opposed the 1 percent raise, said the district’s administrators and directors are doing a great job but that the district must prepare now for Gov. Bill Ritter’s proposed cuts to K-12 education funding, which will cost the district more than $980,000. “I think we need to send a message to salvage the jobs out there and maintain the core of the district,” he said. Brown said the difficult years ahead were reason to reward the district’s leadership. “I feel like this is one of the last shots to say thank you, to honor their work,” she said. In his monthly financial report, Finance Director Dale Mellor said the district’s general fund is more than $18,000 higher than the revised budget he presented in September. At the meeting, the School Board also met in executive session to evaluate Cunningham’s performance, which is done quarterly. Cunningham won’t receive a raise to her $150,000 base salary (plus health benefits and a car allowance) in the 2009-10 budget. It was not written into her two-year contract, which expires June 30, 2010. The board took no action following executive session.

In other action: ■ Connelly and Kelly were sworn in as members of the board for the next four years. Connelly, who spent 28 years of her 29-year teaching career in the district, will serve her second term on the board after running unopposed. Kelly, who owns BTK Surveys, defeated challenger Bill Kennedy and will serve his first term as a board member. ■ Board members unanimously approved Crossan to another two-year term as board president. The board also unanimously approved Brown as vice president,
Anderson as secretary, and Connelly as treasurer. ■ Board members also approved committee appointments. They include: Connelly as the representative to the Colorado Association of School Boards; Kelly and Connelly to the Education Fund Board; Brown to the District Accountability Committee; Brown and Crossan to the Collaborative Bargaining Team; Crossan to the Security Task Force; Connelly to the district’s Finance/Budget Committee; and Crossan will lead the board’s Community Engagement efforts. Anderson also will remain the representative on the Northwest Colorado Board of Cooperative Educational Services board. Crossan asked Anderson to continue serving on the BOCES board as it works to address BOCES overspending nearly $317,000 last year and increasing assessments by more than $481,000 this year. “My concern is changing it up midstream before whatever happens, whatever plays out, plays out,” Crossan said. The BOCES board has approved spending federal stimulus funding to help make up for last year’s overspending. It also has approved a 2009-10 budget with assessments at or near what was first presented last May, when the districts were drafting their budgets. But the budget was approved with BOCES carrying a more than $34,000 deficit into 2009-10. Anderson said she was willing to continue serving as the School Board’s BOCES representative. — To reach Jack Weinstein, call 871-4203 or e-mail jweinstein@steamboatpilot.com

Ravens blank Browns, 16-0 Tom Withers
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND
Even after Baltimore had punished Brady Quinn, Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis got in one more vicious hit on Cleveland’s quarterback. Angered about Quinn’s questionable chop block on Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs following an interception, Lewis accused Quinn of a dirty play. “Heck yeah it was a cheap shot,” Lewis snapped after Baltimore rocked Cleveland 16-0. “When you’re running down and you’re looking at the quarterback going at somebody’s knees who doesn’t even have the ball. I want to see if he gets the same fine I got or even higher. Now this man is out four or five weeks because of some baloney like that.” For 30 minutes, the Ravens were inefficient, unproductive and disorganized. In 17 seconds, they changed all that. Ray Rice scored on a 13-yard run on Baltimore’s first possession of the third quarter and safety Dawan Landry returned an interception of Quinn 48 yards for a touchdown on Cleveland’s next play as the Ravens overcame a horrendous start and routed the hapless Browns. The game also included two plays that could force the league to hand out fines, and it ended with Browns wide receiver Josh Cribbs being carried from the field on a stretcher following another nasty hit. He was taken to a hospital for tests. Cleveland coach Eric Mangini said Cribbs was transported as a precaution. “He’s got feeling and movement in all parts of his body,” Mangini said. The Ravens (5-4) didn’t score in the opening half, when they used up their three timeouts in the first 6:15, committed silly penalties, converted just one third down and actually made the Browns (1-8) look respectable.

Chris Simms dropping back to pass may become a familiar sight for Broncos fans. Starting quarterback Kyle Orton’s status is uncertain for Sunday’s game against the San Diego Chargers.
Orton’s status unknown Broncos’ quarterback injured left ankle during Sunday’s 1st half Lindsay H. Jones The Denver Post
Seems everyone, from Broncos coach Josh McDaniels, to Denver’s receivers and even to the oddsmakers in Las Vegas, is taking the “wait and see” approach when it comes to Kyle Orton.
Denver’s quarterback limped off the field with an injured left ankle on his final play of the first half of Sunday’s 27-17 loss at Washington and did not return. It is too soon to know if the ankle will keep Orton out of Sunday’s crucial game against AFC West rival San Diego at
Invesco Field at Mile High, though the team remains hopeful that Orton will be ready, McDaniels said. The Broncos won’t hold their first practice in preparation for San Diego until Wednesday, at which point Orton will get his first real chance to test the ankle.
“We’ll have to see if and when Kyle is ready to go, whether that’s Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, not at all, we’re going to see how that goes,” McDaniels said. “He’s definitely not out for the game. We’re certainly hopeful that we can get him ready to go. See Broncos, page 18
Rookie Lawson adjusts to NBA fast Arnie Stapleton
The Associated Press
DENVER
Everybody knew about Ty Lawson’s speed at North Carolina. Just as impressive is how quickly the Denver Nuggets’ new backup point guard is adjusting to the NBA. Fellow Tar Heels alum and Nuggets coach George Karl has
notoriously had little use for rookies, but he’s making an exception for this exceptional player, saying even he didn’t expect this smooth of a transition. “I can’t deny that. He’s pretty mature for a young kid,” Karl said. Lawson is averaging 10.3
points, 2 boards and 3.2 assists in 21.8 minutes through his first 10 NBA games. Yet, it’s more his hustle and pluck, matters that don’t necessarily show up on the stat sheet, that are wowing teammates, coaches, opponents and fans alike.
Take his pickpocketing of Kobe Bryant in the first half Friday night and his amazing dunk over 7-footer D.J. Mbenga in the second half that were the highlights of Denver’s 10579 demolition of the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers. These were the kinds of things that had the Nuggets practically salivating even a year ago, See Lawson, page 18

Darroll Powe, Scott Hartnell, and James van Riemsdyk scored goals as the Philadelphia Flyers edged New Jersey 3-2 to snap the Devils’ eight game winning streak Monday night. Zach Parise scored in a goal-mouth scramble with 0.6 seconds left in regulation and David Clarkson also had a goal for the Devils, who fell one win short of tying the NHL record of 10 road victories to start the season, set by the 2006-07 Buffalo Sabres.

Matt Moulson scored two goals and Dwayne Roloson stopped 28 shots to lead New York. John Tavares also scored to make it 3-1 — a goal that originally was credited as Moulson’s third of the game before being corrected on review — and Trent Hunter added an empty-netter with 49 seconds left.
Bill Guerin ended Pittsburgh’s eight-game streak without a power-play goal by scoring in the first period, Jordan Staal scored short-handed and the Penguins wrapped up Anaheim’s winless four-game road trip. Guerin, who turned 39 last week, missed by an assist of having the so-called Gordie Howe hat trick — a goal, an assist and a fight. He fought in the third period with Ryan Getzlaf, who is
14 years younger, trading several punches before Guerin put the Ducks’ alternate captain on his back to earn one of the night’s loudest ovations from the sellout crowd of 17,052.
Kings 4, Panthers 3, SO SUNRISE, Fla.
Defenseman Jack Johnson scored the only goal in the shootout, and Los Angeles rallied past Florida. Johnson and Jarrett Stoll scored power-play goals and Randy Jones scored short-handed for the Kings, came back from a 2-0 deficit and closed out a five-game road trip at 3-2.

Vincent Lecavalier had two goals and an assist and Mike Smith made 30 saves to lead Tampa Bay. Alex Tanguay had a goal and two assists and Martin St. Louis also scored for the Lightning, who have recorded points in six straight games — four wins and two overtime losses.
Teammates hopeful for quick recovery Broncos continued from 17 If he can’t practice, then it will be Chris (Simms), for sure.” Don’t expect McDaniels to issue any definitive declarations on Orton’s status — or Simms’, for that matter — until later in the week. And until McDaniels does, or at the very least until the Broncos issue their first injury report after Wednesday’s practice, the oddsmakers at the Las Vegas sports books have pulled Sunday’s game off the betting board. Before the Broncos lost to Washington and the Chargers beat Philadelphia on Sunday, Denver was a 2.5-point favorite in the AFC West match-up this Sunday. That line is likely to flip
in favor the Chargers, by as many as 3 or 3.5 points, if Simms is the expected starter, or 2-2.5 points if it appears likely Orton will play. Simms will receive plenty more work with the first-team offense in practice this week than he has in months, since Orton was named the starter in June. Like most teams, once the team has a definitive starter, that player receives most, if not all, of the meaningful work in practice. McDaniels and offensive coordinator Mike McCoy admitted Simms struggled during the second half Sunday when he replaced Orton, but both said the blame for the offense’s failure in those two quarters isn’t only because of Simms’ play. Simms
completed only three of 13 passes for 13 yards, with one interception. His final passer rating was 7.5, while Orton — who went 11-of-18 for 193 yards and two touchdowns in the first half — had a rating of 134.7 in the first half. “(Simms) missed a couple of plays that he wants to have back, but so does everyone else in the game,” McCoy said. “You’re not always going to be perfect, and it’s something he can learn from.” Neither Orton nor Simms was available for comment Monday and neither was in the locker room during the 45 minutes it was open to the media. But teammates said they were hopeful that Orton would make a quick recovery.
Billups: Lawson, pro system a perfect fit Lawson continued from 17 before Lawson decided to return to Chapel Hill, where he helped lead the Tar Heels to the NCAA championship as a junior. “Well, when Roy Williams whispers to you that he’s the best point guard he’s ever coached — I mean, he’s had a few good point guards,” Karl said. Lawson’s guru in Denver, Chauncey Billups, said the energetic rookie has made a seamless transition to the pros because he and the system are a perfect fit. “He’s in a great situation
because he’s in a fastbreak offense, just run up and down and play. He’s not in a structured offense,” Billups said. “So, it’s easy for him and he’s done a great job of coming in and using what he does best and that’s his speed. And that’s something that we need.” While best known for his baseline-to-baseline velocity, Lawson became an all-around threat last season by shooting 53 percent from the field and 47 percent from 3-point range. His speed and hustle remain his forte. Karl said he’s never seen a
player so deft at coming up with loose balls as Lawson. He always seems to be fast-fowarding while the other nine players on the court are moving at regular speed. Like Friday night, when Bryant thought he had picked up the loose ball only to watch helplessly as Lawson swooped around from behind and tipped it upcourt for the breakaway basket. Thanks to Lawson, Karl insists this version of the Nuggets can be better than the one that took the Lakers to six games in the Western Conference finals last summer.

Now that Indianapolis has won its annual November showdown with New England, players can embark on their next traditional quest. Chasing perfection. For the third time in five years, the Colts are 9-0 and need to pull out those rehearsed lines. “It is a huge win,” three-time MVP Peyton Manning said after rallying the Colts for a 35-34 victory Sunday night. “The main reason is it’s an AFC team. Teams in our division are winning. That’s what we are trying to do, stay ahead of those teams.” Clearly, the veterans want to downplay the distractions that typically follow wins like this one. Sports talk shows, analysts and bloggers will break down every Colts flaw and question how good the Colts really are. They’ll again debate Indy’s strength of schedule and may contend the Colts still wouldn’t be perfect if Bill Belichick hadn’t decided to go for it on fourth-and-2 from his own 28 with 2:08 left Sunday.
Others will argue about which unbeaten team is better, New Orleans or Indy. And each ensuing victory will bring more reporters, more questions and more hype to the Colts’ locker room. More than half of the players on this year’s roster weren’t around when Indy last opened the season with nine straight wins, in 2006, so coach Jim Caldwell and the veterans will try to prepare the youngsters for the challenges ahead — on and off the field. “For the older guys, they’ve been through this before,” said Caldwell, who still has not lost a game as head coach. “But our young guys are catching on pretty quickly. I think they’ve learned their lesson.” If the young players learned anything Sunday night, it was this: Never give up with Manning on the field. For the second time this year, he orchestrated an improbable fourth-quarter comeback against an AFC East foe. He did it despite several drops by new receivers Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie, despite tight

After another loss, Jets’ Ryan says, ‘It’s on me’ FLORHAM PARK, N.J.
New York Jets coach Rex Ryan says he needs to figure out the reasons his team has had trouble closing out games. Taking responsibility for the Jets’ 1-5 slide following a 3-0 start, Ryan acknowledged Monday that “it’s on me to find that answer.” Penalties, timeout mismanagement and mistakes on the field have plagued the Jets in the last several games. New York’s defense, failed to live up to its lofty status in the first half against Jacksonville on Sunday. The Jets tightened up in the second half, but allowed the Jaguars to march down the field for the winning field goal as time expired. The Jets are disappointed, but sit two games behind AFC East-leading New England — their next opponent.
Goodell fines Titans owner $250,000 for gesture NASHVILLE, Tenn.
The NFL has fined Titans owner Bud Adams $250,000 for
making an obscene gesture at Buffalo fans while celebrating Titan’s victory against the Bills. Commissioner Roger Goodell notified Adams of the fine Monday, and league spokesman Greg Aiello said it is for conduct detrimental to the NFL. Adams was seen making the gesture while in his luxury suite and again on the field after Sunday’s 41-17 victory. The 86-year-old Adams issued an apology a couple of hours later, saying he got caught up in the excitement of the moment.

For Saints offensive tackle Jon Stinchcomb, it’s all about perspective. Since he was drafted by New Orleans in 2003, he’s been part of only two winning teams. The second of those is this year’s edition, which reached the franchise’s first-ever 9-0 record at St. Louis on Sunday despite one of its least impressive performances. “I enjoy being able to talk about how we’re winning, because I’ve been around the Saints long enough to appreciate the line of questioning being that we’re not winning by the huge margins that we could be,” Stinchcomb said. “It’s not easy to win in this league.” New Orleans needed to break up a pass in the end zone as time expired to survive their closest game of the season, a 28-23 triumph against a Rams team that has won only once all year. Yet coach Sean Payton said there were reasons to be proud of his team’s performance, despite a couple of troubling trends that have made New Orleans look a little more vulnerable in recent weeks. Only two of the Saints’ nine victories have come by fewer than double digits, the other being a 35-27 win against

end Dallas Clark being held to four catches for 65 yards, despite Tom Brady’s proficiency at exploiting holes in a Colts’ secondary that started two rookie quarterbacks and despite trailing by 17 points early in the fourth quarter against a team with three Super Bowl titles this decade. Now the focus shifts back to Indy’s road to perfection. The Colts go to their former hometown, Baltimore, this weekend. Indy has won six straight in the series including three in a row on the road. Then comes the trip to Houston, which is 1-14 all-time against Indy. After that, the Colts host Tennessee and Denver before finishing at Jacksonville, home against the New York Jets and at Buffalo. Only one of those teams, Denver (6-3), has a better record than 5-4 and the Broncos have lost three straight. Indy is now three wins away from extending its own league record for consecutive 12-win seasons to seven and three wins from matching New England’s mark for the longest winning streak in league history (21).

Seahawks running back Julius Jones is likely to miss at least Sunday’s game at Minnesota because of a bruised lung. Coach Jim Mora said Monday that what was thought to be a cracked rib sustained in the first quarter of Seattle’s loss at Arizona on Sunday is a bruised lung — “and potentially, possibly a cracked rib.” Jones had only two carries before getting hurt, apparently while pass blocking against Arizona’s blitzing Karlos Dansby. Justin Forsett replaced him and ran for 123 yards on just 17 carries.

Dirk Nowitzki hit a fallaway 18-footer as time expired in overtime to give the Dallas Mavericks a 115-113 victory against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night. With 3.1 seconds left, Nowitzki caught a pass from Jason Kidd, who finished a point short of a triple-double, and threw it up over Luc Richard Mbah a Moute. The ball rattled off the rim and backboard, dropping softly through the hoop as the backboard lights came on. Nowitzki, who finished with 32 points and 11 rebounds, untucked his jersey and celebrated with his teammates near the bench after the shot went in. The play was upheld on review.

GOLF — LPGA
From a hotel suite in Honolulu overlooking the golf course where Michelle Wie first showed her awesome potential, she looked at newspaper photos from various stages of her youth and realized those days were behind her. She was 15 and had just turned pro. Within a year, her income approached $20 million, more than any other female golfer. “I know I have to win. That’s my priority now,” Wie said that day. “They all expect me to do better and work harder.” That was four years ago, spanning 42 starts on the LPGA Tour. Those expectations took a long time to fulfill. Her face was flush with celebration and relief Sunday when Wie blasted out of a bunker to tap-in range for a two-shot victory in Mexico. She thrust her arms in the air, covered her mouth and before long, she finally tasted that LPGA tradition for first-time winners by getting
showered with beer. It was clear an enormous burden had been lifted. Wie created those expectations by shooting 68 on the PGA Tour at age 14, by having at least a share of the lead on the back nine of three major championships when she was 16, by coming within nine holes of qualifying for the U.S. Open and by developing shots that few other women were capable of hitting. “For sure, it’s definitely off my back,” said Wie, now 20 and in her third year at Stanford. “I think that hopefully, life will be a lot better. But I still have a lot of work to do. I still have a lot to improve. It just feels so great right now.” But as one burden is lifted, another is soon to arrive. The timing could not have been better for the LPGA Tour, which is starved for attention and struggling to climb out of an economic morass that likely will lead to the fewest tournaments it has
had in years. The tour finally got rid of its commissioner, Carolyn Bivens, and replaced her with Michael Whan, who is to be introduced in Houston on Wednesday and takes over at the start of 2010. The LPGA needs star power, and no other player can move the needle like Wie. She was attracting the largest crowds even when Annika Sorenstam was still playing and winning majors. Wie has the kind of appeal not seen since Nancy Lopez — but only if she keeps winning. Clearly, her impact on women’s golf would have been far greater had Wie won much earlier. She attracted attention because of her power and her youth, and she only has one of those left. Even now, Wie has only one victory. Ochoa remains the No. 1 player, while Jiyai Shin has shown to be the best this year, on the verge of becoming the first player since Lopez in 1978 to win player of the year and rookie of the year in the same season.

Overboard ® Chip Dunham
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Isaac Hanson, 29; Daisy Fuentes, 43; RuPaul, 49; Danny DeVito, 65 Happy Birthday: Once you realize what it is you really need in your life, it will be easy for you to make the changes required to meet your goals. You need to look beyond your regular parameters. Don't be afraid to change your mind or your plans mid-stream if the end result will be better for you. It's up to you to take care of business. Your numbers are 2, 11, 13, 22, 25, 36, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Considering how you are making money should encourage you to look for something more challenging. Making a move or surrounding yourself with a different environment or group of associates will be beneficial. A partnership is in the stars. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may be confused by the signals you are receiving from partners or people you are dealing with right now. Listen carefully to be aware of what's true and what isn't. Don't allow yourself to fall into someone's trap. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You'll be living in the moment. A love connection can lead to an exciting time with interesting new developments if you are receptive to what's being offered. A change in your professional direction shows potential. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Stop going down that long pathway that leads to doom and gloom. Consider what makes you happy and incorporate more of it into your life. It's you who sets your goals, so stop playing the role of the victim. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You will learn a valuable lesson if you take careful note of the behavior of people who interest you most. Be independent and protect your rights instead of giving in to someone who wants to control what you do and what you can accomplish. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep your friends close but do not lose sight of your enemies. Someone you work with will be trying to get ahead at your expense. Emotional blackmail is apparent and you must not give in to a sob story. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Mix
the old with the new and bring your past and your future together. A romantic getaway will do wonders for you. Single or not, adding spice to your life will enhance your current relationship or bring new lovers into your life. ★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An impulsive decision regarding your home or personal life will cause a rift between you and someone you are close to. Confusion and uncertainty are apparent, so discuss your intentions with anyone whom your plans will affect. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Finish what you start. Take stock of where you are and where you want to be. Procrastination will lead to depression and a lowered self-esteem. Secret matters will turn out to be less than what you had hoped. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Focus on work, making money and finding new outlets for your talent. Do not let your emotions get in the way or let someone who disappointed you occupy your time and hold you back. An older relative or one of your beliefs will cause you confusion. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Trust in yourself. You have to do things your way and finish what you start. A relationship is questionable. You probably can accomplish more on your own. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don't stop when you are only halfway to the finish line. A financial gain is apparent. Collect old debts or start up a venture that can lead to personal profits. ★★

Officials: No word Michelle Obama visits Denver on taking detainees First lady comes to area to promote mentor program P. Solomon Banda The Associated Press
DENVER
Colorado officials have not been contacted by the federal government about housing Guantanamo Bay detainees at federal prisons in the state, despite public comments that a facility in Florence is under consideration. Federal officials were visiting an empty state prison Monday in the northwestern Illinois community of Thomson that Illinois is considering selling to the federal government. In advance of that visit, Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn said a federal prison in Florence, Colo., and another facility in Montana also were under consideration. Colorado officials said they haven’t been contacted by the federal government regarding housing Guantanamo prisoners in the state. Days after President Barack Obama’s announced the closure of the Cuba-based U.S. Naval Detention Center, the high-security Supermax was mentioned as a possible site to house Guantanamo detainees. At that time, Colorado’s Democratic governor, Bill
Ritter, called Supermax “wellsuited” to house terror suspects from Guantanamo. “It has the worst of the worst already there,” Ritter spokesman Evan Dreyer said Monday. “But from our perspective, it’s a non-issue. Illinois appears to be the leading candidate.” Inmates already at Supermax include Zacarias Moussaoui; Richard Reid, who tried to blow up a trans-Atlantic jetliner with a shoe bomb, and Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols. Justice Department spokesman Dean Boyd said a task force studying the issue hasn’t made a final decision. State Rep. Buffie McFadyen, D-Pueblo West, whose district includes Supermax along with three other federal prisons and nine state prisons, said Quinn’s comments make it appear the “conversation is long from over” on where to house Guantanamo detainees. “My biggest concern is that (Supermax) in Florence has no room,” McFadyen said Monday in a phone interview. “You just can’t move that kind of detainee around the country. We’re limited on space.”

First Lady Michelle Obama headed to Denver to highlight her mentoring program for girls. The First Lady had lunch with female leaders at the Governor’s Mansion Monday. Then she’s headed to South High in Denver to meet with girls. It will be the First Lady’s first visit to Colorado since she stopped by a peach festival in Palisade during the summer while President Barack Obama was talking about health care changes at a town-hall meeting in Grand Junction. The other women who will join the First Lady at the luncheon include actress Susan Sarandon and several female politicians from Colorado. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius also will be on hand.

Two troopers investigating a crash on an icy stretch of Interstate 225 were injured after another vehicle hit their patrol car, the Colorado State Patrol said. The accident happened Sunday evening near Parker Road in Arapahoe County. A 1998 Ford Explorer lost control and struck the troopers’ car, pushing it into the concrete median and the two troopers, who were standing on the shoulder, the State Patrol said.
Medical marijuana continues to spark debate in towns across Colorado. This week, several cities will consider moratoriums on new marijuana dispensaries. Grand Junction officials planned to debate a moratorium Monday night. Similar proposals are up for debate this week in Fort Collins, Pueblo and Loveland. And in Denver, city officials are planning a review of the status of marijuana dispensaries.

The Explorer also hit the 2001 Nissan Pathfinder that was involved in the original crash the troopers were investigating. Troopers say the driver of the Explorer, 30-year-old Edilberto Garcia-Castro, of Aurora, was driving too fast for the icy, wet conditions. He faces charges of careless driving causing injury, exceeding the safe speed for conditions and driving without a valid license. Trooper Ron Greasley suffered serious injuries, and Trooper Jason Burger had moderate injuries, the patrol said. Both were expected to survive.

What’s it going to cost me? Americans are worried about the fine print in the health care overhaul, an Associated Press poll reported, and those concerns are creating new challenges for President Barack Obama as he tries to overcome doubts in Congress. Despite a widely shared conviction that major health care changes are needed, Democratic bills that aim to extend coverage to the uninsured and hold down medical costs get no better than a lukewarm reception in the results. The poll found that 43 percent of Americans oppose the health care plans being discussed in Congress, while 41 percent are in support. An additional 15 percent remain neutral or undecided. There has been little change in

that broad public sentiment about the overhaul plan from a 40-40 split in an AP poll last month, but not everyone’s opinion is at the same intensity. Opponents have stronger feelings on the issue than do supporters. Seniors remain more skeptical than younger generations. The latest survey was conducted by Stanford University with the nonprofit Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. When poll questions were framed broadly, the answers seemed to indicate ample support for Obama’s goals. When required trade-offs were brought into the equation, opinions shifted. In one particularly striking finding, the poll indicated that public support for banning insurance practices that discriminate against those in poor health may not be as solid as it seems. A ban on denial of coverage because of pre-existing medical problems has long been one of

the most popular consumer protections in the health care debate. Some 82 percent said they favored the ban, according to a Pew Research Center poll in October. In the AP poll, when told that such a ban probably would cause most people to pay more for their health insurance, 43 percent said they still would support doing away with pre-existing condition denials but 31 percent said they would oppose it. Costs for those with coverage could go up because people in poor health who’d been shut out of the insurance pool would now be included, and they would get medical care they could not access before. “I’m thinking we’d probably pay more because we would probably be paying for those that are not paying. So they got to get the money from somewhere. Basically, I see our taxes going up,” said Antoinette Gates, 57, of Atlanta.
Hot sauce and a comb were all an al-Qaida suspect in New York needed to nearly kill one of his guards nine years ago. The bloody episode suggests that security worries in bringing Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other 9/11 suspects to trial here could be just as big inside the courthouse as outside. Already, the U.S. marshals are promising the highest security possible — an acknowledgement of how dangerous terrorism suspects have been in the past. Attorney General Eric Holder announced Friday that Mohammed, the professed mastermind of the 2001 attacks, and four accused henchmen would be brought from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to New York to face a civilian federal trial. The prosecution is planned for a court complex just blocks from where the World Trade Center towers were destroyed in the attack blamed on these men. The courthouse is among the most secure in the nation, ringed by closed-off streets, 24-hour guard posts, anti-truck-bomb barricades and street video cameras so powerful that they can read the print off a passerby’s newspaper. The Sept. 11 case would be the most spectacular of a half dozen major terrorism trials in New York that have already sent away the men blamed for the less
devastating 1993 bombing of the trade center, a plot to blow up five landmarks in New York City, a scheme to blow up a dozen U.S. airliners over the Far East and the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa. Holder’s decision to try the Sept. 11 suspects sparked debate about the security risks posed to densely-populated lower Manhattan, but far less has been said about attempted violence by the defendants themselves. At the same federal lockup where Mohammed and the others are to be held, federal prison guard Louis Pepe was attacked in late 2000 by Mamdouh Mahmud Salim, a former top aide to Osama bin Laden who was awaiting trial in the embassies case. Salim surprised Pepe by using a squeezable plastic honey bear container filled with hot sauce as a kind of homemade pepper spray that temporarily blinded the guard. The inmate then took a plastic comb ground into the shape of a dagger and plunged it into Pepe’s left eye. The point pierced deep into his brain, causing severe permanent injury to his sight, speech and movement. After the attack, prosecutors say papers found in the cell showed Salim’s plan had been to take hostages inside the prison and free his co-defendants. While such a “breakout” plot may sound far-fetched given the security of the federal buildings, in Salim’s case the very attempt nearly killed someone.
