Making ‘marvelous’ music MCHS students travel to Aspen for honor band By NICOLE INGLIS Daily Press writer
From a weekend in Aspen with 10 of his band mates, Moffat County High School student Tucker Trujillo will remember one thing above all else. The F scale. “It’s my favorite scale now,” he said. “Because I nailed it. I mean, it was so perfect.” His “perfect” audition landed the junior his first “first chair” assignment at the 2009 honor band in Aspen during the weekend, meaning he was the best trombonist of the group. John Bolton, Moffat County High School band director took 11 band students to Aspen on Friday to participate in the Colorado Music Educators Association honor band for Northwest Colorado. More than 75 students and band directors were involved in the event, which includes rehearsals and performances that challenge a chosen group of band students from across the region. “We get to get out of school,” Trujillo said. “And the bus rides are the best.” But for Trujillo, honor band is much more than a social event. It’s a chance to be challenged and compete at a higher level. For the past two years, Trujillo was placed at sixth chair, which wasn’t good enough for him. He told Bolton if he didn’t earn first chair this year, he could be found along Colorado Highway 82, hitchhiking his way back to Craig. “I knew I was better than that,” he said. “But I was really nervous when I got there.” He said opportunities like honor band and the February All-State conference in Denver were important recognition for the work that he and his fellow band mates put into their instruments. shawn mchugh/daily press “It lets people in Craig know Moffat County High School sophomore Amie Chadwick tunes her French horn Tuesday night during musical See band on page 11

MCHS grad loses battle with cancer Cory Pike succumbs to lymphoma at 20 By NICOLE INGLIS Daily press writer
With his parents and brother by his side, 20-year-old Cory Pike died Monday night of Burkitt’s lymphoma after fighting the cancer for six months. The Pike family released a statement Tuesday on Cory’s CaringBridge blog. “On November 16th at 6:50 p.m. our beloved son, Tyler’s brother and your friend, Cory Dustin Pike, lost his courageous battle with lymphoma,” the statement read. “He went peacefully and painlessly and was surrounded by friends and family.” Cory graduated from Moffat County High School in 2007, where he played football and threw shot put for the track team. He attended Colorado State University, where he was studying construction management. When Cory was home in June, he was diagnosed with Burkitt’s lymphoma. He had gone through several rounds of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Upon hearing of the diagnosis, the community came out in support of Cory by participating in several fundraisers, topped off by an auction in October that raised more than $21,000 for the Pike family. Despite the outpouring of support from his hometown, doctors on the Front Range were unable to find a bone marrow donor, and on Sept. 12 he was given a transplant of umbilical cord stem cells. After the surgery, biopsies See Pike on page 3 INSIDE

showed he was cancer-free. But, he was still feeling ill because his body was rejecting the foreign cells. According to the family’s updates on the blog, Cory’s kidney function was improving and he was working at his exercises with enthusiasm. The family was looking forward to having Cory home in Craig for Christmas. A biopsy of Cory’s bone marrow last week, however, revealed the lymphoma had returned. “As you probably know, his fight was long and hard and we are very proud of him,” the family said in the statement. “If anyone could will this horrible disease away it was Cory, but his lymphoma was too aggressive and it ultimately took his life.” Cory was unable to be moved home to Craig for his final days, however he did ask to be moved back to Fort Collins, where he had been attending CSU, so he could be near family and friends. In an update Sunday, Cory’s father, Dave Pike, said visits from friends during the weekend had Cory as happy as his family had seen him in months. “We want to thank each and everyone one of you that followed Cory’s progress here, joined in the fun during his fundraisers and made countless visits during his illness,” the family’s statement read. “The love and prayers you filled our family with will never be forgotten.” A memorial service has not been scheduled.

City and county sales taxes took what local officials called a “major drop” in September, darkening hopes that the holiday season will buoy revenue. According to city records, sales tax returns in September were about $42,500 less than budgeted for the month, or 10.1 percent down. September also was the fifth consecutive month where the city brought in less sales tax dollars than the same month in 2008 and was the worst drop this year. September 2009 was about 17.2 percent less than September 2008. August, the second highest drop from year to year, was about 14.1 percent less in 2009 than 2008. With the sales tax decline, the city still is $13,669 ahead of its budget for the year, or about 1 percent. September also showed the largest budget shortfall this year
for Moffat County, with sales tax revenue about $50,000 less than budgeted, or roughly 20 percent below. Year to date, county records show it is $93,660 below what was budgeted for sales tax collections, or about 4.9 percent. Although the county has not met its projections, Budget Analyst Tinneal Gerber said officials have not had to make spending cuts because other revenue streams — federal mineral lease and severance tax dollars on energy activity — came in higher than expected. The city of Craig depends on sales taxes to make up a significant portion of its general fund, while the county bases its budget on property taxes. However, both estimate what monthly sales tax returns will be throughout each year and depend on that revenue to continue certain services. Sales tax also is generally considered a leading economic See tax on page 8

On Friday, Pres Askew was named Colorado’s Outstanding Volunteer of the Year at the 20th Annual National Philanthropy Day in Denver. Askew, who now lives on the Front Range, was a key contributor to the founding of the Boys & Girls Club of Craig, an important community asset that offers local youths healthy after-school outlets. Askew, along with his wife, Patti, were generous with their time, skills and talents in numerous ways while they lived in Craig. However, it’s the Boys & Girls Club that stands as

their lasting legacy. The Editorial Board is proud of the Askews, not only for Pres’ recent award, but also for the contributions they made to the community while living here. But, while Pres is certainly deserving of the award, he isn’t all that different from numerous Moffat County residents when it comes to generosity toward the community they live in. This town, our town, gives. It’s as simple as that. When a need arises, when a group or organization is in trouble and needs help, when a community resident is sick and could use support, this
community — more than all others, Editorial Board members are willing to bet — steps to the plate. No matter the obstacles, no matter the hurdles, the Craig and Moffat County community delivers to those who need it most. We’ve seen it each year in the annual Moffat County United Way fundraising drive. We’ve seen it with auctions and benefits and fundraisers on behalf of individual agencies. We’ve seen it with our less fortunate populations. We’ve seen it done by people like Pres and Patti Askew, and from those who are unheralded and who will never get an award for their efforts. This community responds, and each one of us is fortunate to live here. So, congratulations again to Pres for his achievement, and thanks one more time to the numerous and unsung people of Craig and Moffat County who weave the rich fabric upon which our community is built.
To the editor: This letter is in response to Moffat County’s Oct. 6 letter to the Bureau of Land Management regarding the BLM’s Resource Management Plan Revision for the Little Snake Field Office (Government Update for Oct. 6, Daily Press). As former Northwest Colorado Stewardship members, we can assure you that NWCOS never endorsed any plan to allow drilling in citizen-proposed wilderness areas such as Vermillion Basin, nor did NWCOS develop and endorse any plan that would threaten the health of the public lands that provide local citizens with so much. Statements in Moffat County’s letter implying otherwise are disingenuous and wrong. For many of us, the size and health of our surrounding public lands are what make Moffat County a special place to live and raise a family. With about 300,000 acres of proposed wilderness, some of the largest elk, mule deer and antelope herds in the state, and habitat for threatened species such as the greater-sage grouse, the health of our public lands in Moffat County should be a top priority. These lands provide us with clean air, fresh water and open spaces; they are the foundation that supports sustainable livestock, big game, and recreational economies that provide many of our livelihoods. The Moffat County Commission has a stated mission to “provide a natural and social environment suitable for a variety of commercial, recreational and personal pursuits in which people can live, work, play, grow up and grow old …” It is the view of many of us in this county that supporting a plan that would open up 93 percent of the resource area to oil and gas development while failing to protect wilderness quality lands and valuable habitat for big game and other species is contrary to this mission. Our commissioners should be working to protect the custom and culture of our great county, not turning it into a boomtown run for and by big oil. Friends of Northwest Colorado believes we can have responsible energy development while still protecting the unique natural resources that make this county special. Special places such as the proposed wilderness areas of Vermillion Basin and Cold Springs Mountain should be off-limits to oil and gas development, OHV use, and other degrading activities. Critical habitats for big game, greater-sage grouse, and cutthroat trout should be protected and enhanced, and cultural resources documented and preserved. In areas where drilling does occur, the county should be pushing for mandatory Best Management Practices, including phased/clustered development and directional drilling, to minimize the physical footprint of these operations. The commissioners’ letter points out that “although the public may See Letters on page 7
opinion
use the federal lands, it is the local citizens and their economy which are most directly affected by federal lands decisions.” We are local citizens. We have lived and worked in Moffat County for decades, and many of us came to this place because of the quiet beauty that it provides. It is unfortunate that our own county commissioners continually aim to sell it off to the highest bidder. Friends of Northwest Colorado Rick Hammel, Wes McStay, David Morris, Jo A. O’Brien, Allan Reishus, Monty Robertson, Jan Rogers, Jane S. Yazzie
Send troops, Obama To the editor: Thank you for allowing those concerned about our country to voice their opinions. I especially want to thank John Kinkaid for his recent “letter to the president.” He was the voice of so many of us. I, too, would like to tell the president my thoughts. Mr. President, like so many of us who dearly love this country and have roots that go back to our great grandparents and earlier, we want you to know we care about this great land. Having traveled to three other continents, I can tell you firsthand, there is no place in the world as wonderful as America. Personally, I am extremely proud to be an American. I believe in helping other countries in fighting terrorists when absolutely necessary. Yes, I called them terrorists because that is exactly what they are. I can again tell you firsthand, I am proud to have a son in the military, who is on his second tour in Afghanistan, even as I write this. His first tour was rough, but I understand things are so much more dangerous this time. Why are you dragging your feet to lead as commander in chief? You haven’t gone slowly about anything else you’ve done. You have taken much too long to decide to send the 40,000 troops General McChrystal has asked for. He knows what’s needed over there. After all, he is in the thick of things. Surely your “advisers” don’t know more that McChrystal. You were elected president, not them. Anyone on the left is totally out of touch with reality. The message you are sending is that you care more about the evil ones in the Middle East than you do our American troops. I have a question, Mr. President. What if one of your daughters was in the American military in
Afghanistan right now? Can you honestly tell me you would be dragging your feet? No, you would not. You would have made the decision to go along with General McChrystal’s request months ago. You owe it to all the American military in Afghanistan to give them the manpower they need and allow them to accomplish what they were sent there to do, or bring them home, before any more of them lose their lives. As president, you are responsible to be the commander in chief of the military. We, the American people, want you to do what you were elected to do. We, as a nation, do not need you to be part of the problem. Our service men and women deserve better. Judy Laib
Gas prices high To the editor: I am writing in response to a reader’s aggravation over the gas prices being too high in Craig. I am from Parachute/ Battlement and our gas prices are at $2.88 and $2.89, as of Nov. 13, for regular. I understand Louis J. Hahn’s frustration as I can travel to the Grand Junction area half an hour or so away, and prices can often be some 30 cents per gallon cheaper. I assume it’s a monopoly in a certain area for the higher prices. I’d like to point out that while Craig’s gas prices seem high, it could really be worse. The site that I have used in the past is www.gasbuddy.com to get local and abroad gas prices. Also, take pride in knowing that you have a lovely little town and our family enjoyed our meal at your local Subway. Amy Busby
CNCC betters Craig
an atmosphere that is attractive to other professionals and their families. This, in turn, brings businesses that want to tap the local economy and helps contribute to our local tax base. It all comes back, full circle, and CNCC provides a wonderful base for that circle. Personally, my wife I have two sons who were enrolled in dual credit classes through Moffat County High School. This kept both of their minds engaged in a higher level of learning and provided a great deal of savings taking those credits to their respective four-year universities. One entered as a secondsemester sophomore and the other was nearly a college junior. Whether you’re children are advanced, or if they (or their parents) appreciate a challenge that is beyond the normal high school curriculum, then I highly recommend CNCC for both the betterment of our youth and the financial savings. As long-time Craig residents, business owners, parents, and active members of the community, we are thrilled that we are going to have a new campus. It is a college with programs that will enrich our community and will benefit this town for years to come. Thank you, CNCC, for being a great partner to our town, and we look forward to the new campus.

County considers proposed 2010 budget On the ’Net
Daily Press writer
Declining revenues are, and will continue to be, a major issue for Moffat County officials for the foreseeable future, Budget Analyst Tinneal Gerber said. Thankfully, the county’s budget is based primarily on property tax, she added, which means the county will have time to prepare. Gerber presented the Moffat County Commission with a proposed budget at its meeting

For a complete PDF version of the proposed 2010 budget the Moffat County Commission discussed Tuesday, see this story on www.craigdailypress.com.
Tuesday, one that the commissioners and her have been discussing since this summer. Figuring out how and where to cut expenses to balance falling revenue has been a long, difficult process, the commissioners said. “This year’s budget has been different than last year’s budget because we’ve had to dig into what we’re going to do in 2012 and beyond,” Commissioner Tom Mathers said. “If we can make some cuts now, it’s like we can ease the pain as we go.” Moffat County does not want to be faced with the fiscal crisis that Routt County went through the past two years, Commissioner Tom Gray said. Routt County ordered acrossthe-board spending cuts to all
departments, a wage freeze and furlough days for its employees when revenues from sales taxes and local permits dropped. Property taxes, which make up most of Moffat County’s revenue, are paid two years after the property was valued, unlike sales tax and permit fees, which vary monthly. Since the county can project a large portion of its revenue out two years, officials know county revenue will drop about 10 to 15 percent from 2010 to 2011, and likely drop further in 2012. At the same time property values are dropping, the county also has to contend with decreasing mineral lease and severance tax revenue, and the state Legislature cutting millions from spending to balance its own budget. “I always try to remain optimistic, but it’s getting harder and harder,” Mathers said about the notion that the economy may soon turn around. “I don’t think we’re hitting the bottom, yet.” However, for 2010, the commissioners said they do not plan to cut any services or ask the voters for a tax increase. They have asked all department managers to submit flat budgets — that is budgets that
do not call for spending more money in 2010 than in 2009. The commissioners also will not give employees a cost-of-living wage increase — which they said was because the Consumer Price Index showed the national cost of living went down — and plan to look at how the county can consolidate services in the future. Gerber said the county probably will have to make bigger spending cuts in years ahead and that the budget may change during 2010, even after the commission approves it as revenues change. Gray said Moffat County is better prepared to weather some lean years because of its reserves, which stand at about 42 percent of operating expenses, but he did not want to give the impression that the county is impervious to bigger problems down the road. “You can only do so much preparation, and you do the best you can,” he said. “That’s not to say there’s some things you can’t anticipate. I don’t want to put it out there that we’re bulletproof or infallible.” Collin Smith can be reached at 875-1794 or cesmith@craigdailypress.com.

indicator because it is a direct account of whether people are spending money. With the shortfall, neither Gerber nor city Finance Director Bruce Nelson were very optimistic about the local economy’s immediate future. Late fall and the holidays generally are the biggest sales tax months for the city and county because of hunting season and people buying gifts or food. September is traditionally the beginning of that up tick, Gerber said, but came in this

year as a significant decline. “I’ve heard, too, that most people haven’t seen that many hunters in the last few weeks, either,” Gerber said. “I think we’ll continue to see that (decline) through the end of the year.” Gerber and Nelson said they plan to be cautious with next year’s budgets, too, and likely will recommend to the county and city, respectively, that officials plan for more declining revenue in 2010.

‘The Box’ a disappointing story By Andy Bockelman Special to the Daily Press
Rating: 2 out of 4 stars Running time: 116 minutes Starring: Cameron Diaz, James Marsden and Frank Langella
ing as kind-hearted Norma, whose aspirations for a perfect life are admirably simple before the box comes into the picture. Marsden is a tad harder to take as Arthur, a scientist and would-be astronaut, whose contributions to the 1970s Viking space probes of Mars play into the story just a little too much. Langella is the one to watch, whether it’s because of his disturbing monotone or the fact that Steward is missing a fraction of his face. It’s just too bad that the actor doesn’t have better dialogue to recite. The screenplay is the weak point of writer/director Richard Kelly’s third feature. Reworking the structure of Richard Matheson’s short story “Button, Button” — also made into an episode of the 1980s redo of “The Twilight Zone” — Kelly expands it with an unfortunate outcome. Many short stories can work as longer narratives, but this isn’t one of them, as the power of Matheson’s tale gets stretched out like a piece of Silly Putty. It’s not just the length of the movie, which is grossly padded out, but the kind of content and poorly defined characters with which Kelly fills it. He takes the focus in a generic direction with science fiction leanings rather than sticking to the meat of the story, which is a query into the inner goodness, greed and guilt of humanity. An inclusion of the literary works of Jean-Paul Sartre and Arthur C. Clarke — favorites of Norma and Arthur, respectively — shows that Kelly does comprehend the larger picture here,

Given the choice to take a life at random for profit, would you do it? Sure, you may vehemently say “no” now, but let’s see how you answer when “The Box” is right in front of you. Norma and Arthur Lewis (Cameron Diaz, James Marsden) are barely eking Andy Bockelman out a living in 1976 Richmond, Va. Although they live a comfortable, upper-middle class life with their son, Walter (Sam Oz Stone), their finances don’t quite cover everything. When Walter’s private school tuition rate escalates and NASA worker Arthur gets turned down for a promotion, the situation becomes much more serious. But, an opportunity for betterment may have just presented itself within a small parcel left on their doorstep. Containing a small apparatus with a shiny red button, the mystery of the box is revealed with a visit from the equally cryptic Arlington Steward (Frank Langella). He extends a choice for Norma and Arthur: If they push the button, they will receive $1 million, no questions asked, and someone they don’t know will die as a result. With 24 hours to decide, they weigh the pros and cons of pushing it — What if it kills a newborn baby? What if it kills a death row inmate? — and make their decision. But, as with any choice, the results are far-reaching, and Norma and Arthur may not be able to handle the consequences. Diaz is extraordinarily touch-
‘The Box’
but it seems like he just can’t help himself in crafting a story that, like his debut “Donnie Darko,” poses questions he can’t answer and simply doesn’t make logical sense in its entirety. The self-delusional “no loose ends” conclusion of “The Box” isn’t really what kills the film, though. The promising introduction and stirring ending box in a dull second act that nullifies any and all suspense or poignancy. If only Kelly hadn’t pushed so many buttons so haphazardly.

Intrawest sells Copper Mountain to Powdr Corp. Steamboat Ski Area official: Pass holders won’t lose their season privileges By Blythe Terrell for the daily press
970.629.1388
Steamboat Springs — Copper Mountain will be sold to Powdr Corp., according to a news release Intrawest issued Tuesday. Vancouver, B.C.-based Intra west, the parent company of Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp., currently owns the resort on Interstate 70 west of Silverthorne.

Intrawest said in the release that it expects the transaction to close in December. The deal is subject to regulatory approvals including a permit from the U.S. Forest Service. Intrawest and Powdr, based in Park City, Utah, are privately held companies, so the price of the sale was not disclosed, Intrawest spokesman Ian Galbraith said in an e-mail. He said he could not say how long the deal had been in the works or whether other entities had expressed interest in buying Copper. Galbraith and the news release stressed that nothing would change for Intrawest resorts this winter. “This winter season it is business as usual at Copper Mountain,” the release stated. Powdr and Intrawest “have committed to work together” to make sure that all season passes, vacation reservations and joint marketing initiatives will be honored for the 2009-10 season. That means skiers and snowboarders with any product in the Rocky Mountain Super Pass suite will keep their Copper Mountain privileges. The Rocky Mountain Super Pass allows unlimited skiing at Copper and Winter Park, and the Super Pass Plus includes six days at Steamboat. Similar passes also are available for military members and college students.
Steamboat residents are eligible to buy the Rocky Mountain Ultimate Pass, which consists of unlimited skiing at Steamboat, Copper and Winter Park. Intrawest operates Winter Park, which is scheduled to open today for its 70th season. Andy Wirth, Ski Corp. senior vice president of sales and marketing, said Tuesday that he could speak about the sale of Copper only in terms of those pass products. “The near term is that the work that’s been done so far is exhaustive to ensure that this announcement today, with the assumption that the deal closes, is absolutely seamless to the customer, to the guest,” he said. That includes Front Range and Steamboat Springs pass holders, Wirth said. It also means that nothing will change for people who haven’t bought a pass this season but choose to buy one that includes Copper. Wirth said he couldn’t speculate about how those two- and three-mountain passes would change for the 2010-11 season. “Based on the information we have right now, we aren’t necessarily suggesting that Copper would be removed,” he said. Steamboat’s Ultimate Pass holders visit Copper Mountain and Winter Park about equally, Wirth said. “Copper Mountain and Winter
Park are immensely popular resorts down on the Front Range of Colorado, so Steamboat has most certainly benefited from being associated with Winter Park and Copper,” he said. Demand for those super pass products outpaced expectations, Wirth said. He also noted that Steamboat is on pace to have half the rooms booked for the ski season by the end of this week. That means Steamboat will have half the number of total rooms booked in the 2008-09 season accounted for this week, Wirth said. Last year, half the season’s rooms were booked by midDecember, he said. “It’d be fair to say we’re a full month ahead of this time last year,” Wirth said. Vacation packages, passes and lift tickets for Steamboat, Copper and Winter Park will continue to be available at www.skicolorado. com. According to the news release, Powdr Corp. owns and operates seven resorts: Park City Mountain Resort in Park City; Killington Resort and Pico Resort in Killington, Vt.; Mt. Bachelor in Bend, Ore.; Boreal Resort and Soda Springs Resort, both in Donner Summit, Calif.; and Las Vegas Ski and Snowboard Resort outside of Las Vegas. Powdr Corp also operates Gorgoza Park, a liftserved tubing park, in Park City.
Board to review Hagins firing Former Hayden School District transportation director alleges school board took illegal action By Jack Weinstein for the daily press
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — The Hayden School Board will decide tonight whether to accept the termination of former Trans portation Director Richard “Festus” Hagins. Hagins was told he was fired via an Oct. 26 letter from Superintendent Greg Rockhold. Hagins has alleged that the School Board acted illegally by voting to terminate his contract in executive session during its Oct. 21 meeting. School district officials have declined to say who made the decision to fire Hagins or when that decision was made. Hagins also says the School Board failed to notify him that he was the subject of the closeddoor meeting. Colorado’s Open Meetings Law states that the subject of an executive session must be notified to request that any discussion be made public. The law also states that “no adoption of any proposed policy,
position, resolution, rule, regulation, or formal action,” except the review, approval and amendment of an executive session’s minutes, “shall occur at any executive session that is not open to the public.” It further states that particular matter being discussed must be disclosed “in as much detail as possible” before an executive session is held. According to the unofficial minutes of the Oct. 21 meeting, the executive session included a “discussion of individual students where a public disclosure would adversely affect that person or persons involved.” The board met for two and a half hours before coming out of executive session and taking no formal action. The board will vote whether to approve the minutes at tonight’s meeting, at which point they will become official. Rockhold and School Board President Brian Hoza have declined to provide additional detail about the subject of the executive session.

band: Director pleasantly surprised by his section’s performance

For over 3 decades... The One you turn to
“It’s kind of like an escape. It’s a challenge. It’s nice getting to see my friends from other schools and hang out with them. I was just glad to be there.” Amie Chadwick Moffat County High School sophomore about her trip to Aspen to play for high school honor band
has made his high school years enjoyable and that he owes a lot of that to Bolton’s leadership. “He’s a lot more than a director,” he said. “Sometimes we jokingly call him Dad. But this really is my second family. I love band; it’s my life.” While he does like to poke fun at his students, like telling Trujillo he’d never speak to him again if he didn’t make first
chair, Bolton knows when to stop joking and tell his students he’s proud of each and every one of them. “The concert Saturday night was just so well-executed,” he said. “Our clarinetist, Kyra (McClellan), had a solo and she just played beautifully.” He said the director-run weekend was a testament to the strength of the high school band community throughout the state. When the band program is allowed the time and funds to expand their horizons beyond Craig, he said amazing learning opportunities present themselves. “It is just evidence that when we’re left to our own devices, we can do marvelous things,” he said.

there is something more than just football going on,” he said. “There’s more than sports.” Sophomore Amie Chadwick has been involved with honor band for two years, and said it’s always an “awesome” experience. “It’s kind of like an escape,” she said. “It’s a challenge. It’s nice getting to see my friends from other schools and hang out with them. I was just glad to be there.” But at the end of the day, it was the chance to play unique and challenging music that will keep Chadwick applying for honor band for years to come. “You get to play a whole lot,” she said. “You get to miss school and play music, and that’s what I love.” The students arrived early Friday morning to cold mountain weather and a long day of auditions. They tried out for their individual sections, which were directed by band directors from across the region. Bolton directed the clarinet section and said he was pleasantly surprised by his section’s performance by Saturday morning. “They just came in and really congealed,” he said. “Everything was right.” While the musicians were either eating or sleeping in their hotel when they weren’t playing, Trujillo said there was plenty of time to make lasting memories. “I have so many memories of it,” he said. “I’ll always remember being a freshmen and going with all of the seniors. It’s a way to get to know them and learn all the tricks of the trade. This year, I’ll remember getting first chair.” He said the close-knit atmosphere of the band community

Stock market ends mixed even as commodities gain ers and industrial production. A rebound in the dollar after three down days kept investors’ appetite for stocks in check. An eight-month weakening of the dollar has been lifting commodities prices and shares of U.S. exporters, which benefit from stronger foreign demand for their goods when the dollar falls. Record-low U.S. interest rates also have driven investors to seek higher returns in stocks and com-
modities, lifting share prices. Trading volume remained light, signaling a lack of strong conviction behind the market’s moves. Investors focused on retailers’ earnings reports for insight into one of the market’s biggest worries: how much consumers are spending. Home Depot, Saks and Target reported better-than-expected third-quarter results but also said they remain cautious ahead of the holiday
shopping season. “Despite the dramatic rally in the stock market, we still see the consumer operating at recessionary levels,” said Uri Landesman, chief equity strategist and senior portfolio manager at ING Investment Management in New York. Stocks have surged in the past eight months as investors anticipate a recovery in the economy. Stocks jumped Monday on a government report that retail

sales rebounded in October. Investors are looking for signs that consumer spending, one of the biggest drivers of the U.S. economy, will recover during the holidays. A report on industrial production weighed on the market. The Fed said output at the nation’s factories, mines and utilities rose 0.1 percent in October, less than the 0.4 percent predicted by economists polled by Thomson Reuters.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks finished an erratic session mixed Tuesday as higher commodity prices lifted energy and materials shares. Major stock indexes had their third straight advance, reaching new 13-month highs, but there were more declining shares than advancers on the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Kelsie Pomeroy plays wing for the Moffat County Bulldog Club Hockey Team. She is the only girl on the team. She said she expects to score several goals this season because defenders may overlook her.
1 of the guys Pomeroy doesn’t care what gender her teammates are — so long as they pass the puck By BEN BULKELEY Daily Press writer
Kelsie Pomeroy doesn’t skip drills because she’s a girl. She doesn’t ask for special treatment because a ponytail sticks out underneath her helmet. All she asks is that her teammates give her the puck when she’s poised to score. Pomeroy, 15, is the sole girl on the Moffat County Bulldog Club Hockey team. This year represents several firsts for the freshman as she switches from defense to wing and skates without any other girls on the ice. “It’s different — being the only girl isn’t the greatest, but it’s not bad, either,” she said. “There’s no one to talk to in the locker room, but it’s good because I get more attention and the coaches seem to help me more.” As she advanced from squirts to peewees and from bantams to the high school level,
Pomeroy has watched the number of other girl hockey players drop. “We had more girls when I started, because we were real young,” she said, adding her love of hockey has kept her lacing her skates year after year. “Because I have a lot fun with it, it’s something I’ve always wanted to stay with.” Pomeroy said she would keep playing as long as she can. “I’ve always thought it would be really cool to go on to play in college,” she said. “If I make it that far, I hope to get a scholarship to play.” Pomeroy chose hockey over other sports after her brother, Joel, laced up his skates. “My brother wanted to play hockey and after he started playing I wanted to be like him,” she said. “So I started playing.” That first year, a love between Pomeroy and the ice began. “I just always had fun with it,” she said. “Starting with my first year to now. I also play
volleyball and soccer, but hockey is probably the most important to me because that’s where I put in my time and money.” Pomeroy said she comes from a hockey family. “My dad plays hockey, and he tries to get me to go out and stick-handle as much as I can,” she said. “My mom wants me to have fun and take it as seriously as I want to.” Pomeroy is finding herself lined up against serious competition this year. “They’re a lot faster than I am, which is something I need to work on,” she said. “I want to score at least once, and never quit or complain.” Walker Criswell, Moffat County Bulldog coach, said Pomeroy came into the season ready to get out on the ice. “First impression, Kelsie came in eager to play hockey,” he said. “She was ready to go, and I know she has played a lot of hockey and is ready to give it another go this season.” Criswell said Pomeroy isn’t
the first girl to try out for the team, but there aren’t a lot who do. “Common? No — but it’s not totally uncommon, either,” he said. This year, Pomeroy is expected to get some playing time to get familiar with the midget (high school) level game. “We have a large team, a lot of experienced players coming back,” Criswell said. “Kelsie is a first-year midget, so we would like to see her come out of this season with a good understanding of the systems we run.” If she can do that, next year she will be one of the top players on the team, Criswell said. “We’re hoping she has fun and has a good season,” he said. “We hope she improves her skills so next year she can step up and be one of the people to carry the load for us.” At the end of this season, Pomeroy hopes her teammates See pomeroy on page 14
DENVER (AP) — Carmelo Anthony scored 32 points and reserve J.R. Smith had 29, leading the Denver Nuggets past the Toronto Raptors, 130-112, on Tuesday night. Anthony is the only player in the NBA to score at least 20 points in all of his team’s games so far. He’s topped 30 points seven times and 40 points twice. He sat out the final quarter of this one after putting in 30 efficient minutes. After withstanding Smith’s seven-game suspension and a six-game trip consisting of three back-to-backs, the Nuggets weathered a very determined Raptors team that was without forward Hedo Turkoglu but didn’t trail until midway through the third quarter. Chris Bosh led Toronto with 13 points and 14 rebounds and DeMar DeRozan scored 17. Nene had 20 points and 10 boards for Denver, which shot 62 percent. Turkoglu missed the game with a sore left hip and was replaced in the starting lineup by Antoine Wright, who’s dealing with a sore left ankle and finished with five points in 17 minutes. All the other starters reached double figures, as did reserves Marco Belinelli (16) and Sonny Weems (12). Denver didn’t grab its first lead until Anthony fed Kenyon Martin for a dunk that made it 70-68 early in the third. Jose Calderon sank a 3-pointer at the other end and it was back and forth until Denver took control with a quick 7-0 spurt that made it 81-74. Nene hit two free throws, and Chauncey Billups sank a technical foul shot before ’Melo swished a fadeaway followed by a turnaround jumper. Denver went on a 16-4 run to start the fourth, building a 20-point lead. The Nuggets have won 14 straight regular-season games at home, their longest streak since 1989, when they won 19 straight home games.

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Ryan Wilson scored his first NHL goal and added an assist, Milan Hejduk got the game-winner and the Colorado Avalanche beat the Calgary Flames, 3-2, on Tuesday night. Cody McLeod also scored and Paul Stastny had two assists to help the Avalanche (13-5-3) move three points ahead of the Flames (12-5-2) for the top spot in the Northwest Division. Jarome Iginla had his 12th goal of the season — and eighth in his past seven games — and Rene Bourque also scored for the Flames, who had earned points in each of their previous six games. Avalanche goaltender Craig
Anderson made 34 saves, including a pad stop on a point-blank shot by Olli Jokinen with 3 minutes left in the third period. Calgary goalie Miikka Kiprusoff made 21 saves as he lost in regulation for the first time in November. McLeod converted a feed from Stastny past Kiprusoff to tie the game at 2-2 with 2 minutes left in the second period. Wilson had an assist on the play to double his total to four points on the season. Just 66 seconds later, Hejduk attempted to hit Darcy Tucker with a cross-crease pass while the Avs were on a power play.
The puck deflected off Jay Bo uwmeester’s skate instead and behind Kiprusoff to give Hejduk his eighth goal of the season. Aided by an early power play, the Flames had the first six shots of the game but couldn’t get one past Anderson. The Avalanche then bounced back to send seven straight shots at Kiprus off, scoring on one. After Kip rusoff made two straight pad saves on shots by Wojtek Wolski, Wilson crept in off the point and picked up a loose puck in the slot before backhanding a shot into the Calgary net 8 minutes into the game.

look back fondly. “I hope that they’re glad I’m on the team and that I contributed and helped,” she said. Not to be left out, Pomeroy participates in every drill in practice. “The boys hit harder,” she said. “They don’t hit me as hard as they can. It’s kind of cool that they look after me, but I think if they hit me their hardest it would hurt really, really bad, so I’m thankful they don’t.” Being a girl could have its advantages, though. “This year, they probably won’t pay much attention to me,” she said. “So hopefully I can get some unexpected goals.” Despite having to learn a new system and playing against bigger defenders, Pomeroy said she is happy to be skating with the boys. “They push me a lot, and I try to keep up with them,” she said. “I’m not just trying to stay with one girl.” If she had to choose between a team full of girls or a team

full of boys, the answer would be the same each time. “I would probably stay with the guys,” she said. “I had a friend who moved last year and now plays on an all-girls team. She said there is a lot more drama.”

My son’s teacher belittles her students Horoscope Dear Annie: I have two children who attend public school in California. We were relatively happy with our children’s education until our oldest started fifth grade. We had heard rumors Annie’s for many years Mailbox that one particular fifthgrade teacher was absolutely awful, and of course, our son got her. This woman is mean and degrading and belittles the children on a daily basis. What’s worse, Kathy and Marcy she seems to get pleasure from her horrible treatment of these poor kids. We have talked to the principal. We’re not the first ones who have done so. We have been told on numerous occasions that we need to talk to the teacher to try
to fix this problem, and short of this, there is nothing that can be done. Our son is on a waiting list to be moved out of the class, but that doesn’t solve the problem. It is very apparent that the teacher is protected against any ramifications of her terrible behavior. But who looks out for the kids? I have searched for some type of advocacy group that would help support the children who are tormented each day and have come up empty. How do we take a stand against the public school system and the unions that protect the teachers? — Frustrated Dear Frustrated: Did you take the principal’s advice and speak to the teacher? You’d be surprised how many times these issues can be defused by respectfully asking the teacher how you can help your child do better in her class. It’s wonderful that you are a forceful advocate for your child. Every parent should be. However, until your son can
be transferred, we urge you to use this opportunity to explain that he will encounter difficult people in life, including teachers, and it will help to learn the coping skills necessary to deal with them. Dear Annie: After 20 years of marriage, my wife and I separated, with the plan that I would undergo therapy to discover why I had become disconnected from her over the past few years. We agreed that after eight months or so, we would attend joint counseling sessions to see what had changed. After six months, I discovered she had sex with a man and then later with a woman. She stated, “We’re separated, so I feel free to date and do not regret it.” I consider this adultery. What do you think? — Husband of a Bisexual Dear Husband: A married person who has sex outside the marriage has committed adultery. However, a legal separation, as opposed to an informal parting,
often gives spouses tacit permission to date others. We assume this was not the case here. But you have a bigger problem. If your wife is bisexual, your marriage may not be reconcilable. If she isn’t already in counseling, you should make it a condition of your continued efforts to save the relationship. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Bad Roomies,” who offered to let a jobless couple move in with them and, after three months, the situation became untenable. Your answer to kick them out could subject the homeowners to a lawsuit. In Illinois, even if there is no formal rental agreement, the owners cannot toss the couple into the street. They need to go to court and get an order of eviction. — Illinois Lawyer Dear Lawyer: Thank you for clarifying this. In most cases, getting this annoying couple out of their home requires a court order.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — You have wonderful possibilities for material acquisition. The problem is that you also have great possibilities for the misuse of funds. Enjoy yourself, but know when to stop spending. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — That optimistic attitude will serve you well, but only as long as you hold onto it. If negativity brings doubts, you’ll end up a loser. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Don’t hesitate to follow your intuitive hunches when they signal that things are running in your favor. If you wait for visual verification, time will run out on you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Enjoy yourself when with friends, but make sure that you keep everything purely fun and games. When serious matters become the objective, things will turn uncomfortably heavy. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Don’t be jealous over the attention being lavished on a friend you introduced to your group. You’ll be rewarded in more ways than you can count as time moves forward. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You could be your worst enemy by putting the kibosh on a good suggestion just because it comes from someone you dislike. Rise above your shortcomings. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — A bad, long-neglected situation will continually fester until you take ownership. When it again vies for attention, step to the fore and get it done once and for all. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — If your mate wants to do something that isn’t exactly your favorite thing, be supportive. Your encouragement will make this a wonderful day. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Being confronted once again with a situation that didn’t previously work out shouldn’t shake you up. This time, you’ll know exactly how to handle things with great aplomb. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You can turn a wonderful day into one of disappointment if you reward the undeserving and barely acknowledge someone of substance. Don’t ruin things for everyone else. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you make an important concession or agreement, do so quietly and without fanfare. To do otherwise could make everyone feel uncomfortable and ruin your good deed. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — You’re quite a creative thinker, but don’t wait to use this rewarding asset until you’re pushed into a corner. If you want to win the game of life, you have to take part in the festivities.

DENVER (AP) — Colorado is gearing up to officially tax and regulate medical marijuana dispensaries, a move lawmakers say amounts to legal recognition of a growing industry. The state Attorney General John Suthers concluded in an opinion issued Monday that medical marijuana is considered personal property that can be taxed and shouldn’t be treated like prescription drugs, which are tax exempt. The move would make Colorado the latest provincial government to tax marijuana for medical use, after voters in California adopted a similar program when the use was legalized in 1996. Cities such as Denver and Oakland, Calif., also plan to levy municipal taxes on local cannabis dispensaries. Colorado Sen. Chris Romer, D-Denver, said he plans to introduce legislation in January that would require dispensaries to buy licenses, as well as pay the state’s 2.9 percent sales tax. He estimates the state could collect

new product,” Couch said. Denver plans to notify dispensaries that it will start collecting municipal sales tax starting in December. Romer said licensing and collecting taxes are signs that the industry is going mainstream and it’s time for regulation. Colorado voters approved medical marijuana in 2000 but rejected a measure to legalize recreational marijuana in 2006. “This will make medical marijuana a mainstream business. Not recreational marijuana, medical marijuana,” he said. Marijuana support groups welcomed Colorado’s decision limited to medical marijuana and called it a validation of their legal rights. Sean McAllister, chairman of the board of Sensible Colorado, a group that promotes medical marijuana use, said dispensaries were expecting Suthers’ opinion. “This is not a black-market industry; it’s a legitimate industry, so it should be taxed like everything else,” he said.

as much as $15 million a year on the sales, and communities could collect an additional $45 million a year through city and county taxes. Revenue department spokesman Mark Couch said the state has no official estimate but added that California collected $11.4 million on sales of $142 million in 2006. A bill to tax and regulate all marijuana use in California like alcohol would generate nearly $1.4 billion in revenue, according to an analysis released in July by tax officials. Couch said the revenue agency recently surveyed about 60 dispensaries and found half of them already had sales tax licenses and were paying taxes because they sold other products, but that not all of those were paying taxes on marijuana sales. With the backing of Suthers’ opinion, he said the department will begin collecting taxes on all medical marijuana sales immediately. “This is not a new tax, it’s just an existing tax being applied to a
figure by erecting what it believes will be the largest “net-zero” energy building in the world — one that produces as much power onsite as it uses. The Department of Energy, which runs the Golden-based lab nestled in the foothills west of Denver, and its contractors hope the $64 million structure will provide a national blueprint for making buildings greener and cutting energy use. “Our hope is that it really starts to change the direction of society and the way we think of buildings,” said Byron Haselden, president of Haselden Construction, the general contractor. Achieving a zero-energy, “green” building is driving the 220,000-square-foot complex’s design and construction. “What typically happens is when a building gets designed, the architects design something and the engineers figure out how to build it, how to heat it and how to cool it,” said Eric Telesmanich, project manager of NREL’s infrastructure and development office. In this case, engineers steered the design. Stantec Consulting started by studying what materials to use and how to orient the building. What emerged is a big “H” shaped structure with the two prongs on the west end closer to each other than on the east end. That configuration provides the best daylight and cuts the amount of electricity needed for lighting.

The connecting structure is the lobby, which will feature paneling made from pine trees killed by the bark beetle infestation in Colorado’s central mountains. The wood also is used to fuel a heating plant on the campus. Other features include natural ventilation, large windows to let in light and evaporative cooling. For comfort, no employee will be farther than 30 feet from windows, which are 6 feet wide and 7 to 9 feet long. The windows have a combination of glass and coatings to let in light while keeping unwanted heat out. Transpired solar collectors — metal sheets with strategically cut holes designed by NREL — will pull air heated by the sun into the building on cold days. In the basement, a labyrinth of concrete walls will capture the day’s heat or the night’s cool air to be slowly released upstairs. Engineers wrote a computer program to determine the labyrinth’s size and shape and calculate air flow. Exterior walls feature an insulated precast concrete panel system. Water will flow through piping in the floors to warm or cool the air. Recycled materials include reclaimed natural gas pipes as the columns to support the floors and walls.
