Residents flood stores
Downtown Craig businesses not as busy as large retailers during Black Friday By COLLIN SMITH Daily Press writer
Chris Pierce, 30, and Jess McQuay, 22, arrived at WalMart at about 2:30 a.m. Friday. Three hours and $800 later, the couple filled their truck bed with two shopping carts full of kitchenware, toys and electronics. Hundreds of frost-covered cars and trucks filled the parking lot at that early hour, when the storefront was lit brighter than the day by the towering white lights standing over the asphalt and the high beams of sleepy residents looking for a space close to the entrance. “We got a bunch of gifts and some stuff for us, too,” Pierce said. “There were very good
deals … and we had to get a Blu-ray player.” Among the handful of people who were the first to leave Wal-Mart with assorted bundles of goods, no one said they were worried about the national recession, or that they considered reining in their spending this holiday season. Harry Tripp, 32, went to Wal-Mart that morning with one thing on his mind. “My TV,” he said, patting a 40-inch Sony flat-screen television that was in a box so big it did not fit in his cart. The Kmart store down the street had a similar rush when it opened for its sale a little before 6 a.m.

Commission considers Moffat County’s green energy rebates Annual Events Washer, refrigerator purchases included in deal By COLLIN SMITH Daily Press writer
The Moffat County Comm ission has until Tuesday to decide whether it wants to partner with the Governor’s Energy Office to provide rebate incentives for new purchases that improve energy efficiency or use renewable resources. Kate Nowak, Yampa Valley Partners executive director, made a presentation about the project to the commission at its Nov. 24 meeting. If the county agrees to partner, then local residents would get an additional rebate for new purchases of energy efficient or renewable energy home and commercial materials. Included in the deal are energy efficient insulation, clothes washers, refrigerators and gascondensing furnaces, as well as any products that use solar, thermal or wind power. If the county does not agree to partner, then residents will get a $75 rebate from the state — paid for with federal dollars — for the same purchases. The program has $20 million in dedicated funds, which will be available until 2012, or until the money runs out. Residents may only get one efficiency and one renewable rebate for each property. Moffat County commissioners Audrey Danner and Tom Gray expressed some dismay
that the state needs a response within a week of making its offer. Nowak said she only had received the presentation details that morning on Nov. 24, but that officials want to start the program and begin paying out rebates as soon as possible. Neither commissioner seemed very interested, however. Danner said she is concerned the state is paying for staff hours to administer the program, and she wondered if it was the best use of limited resources. Gray’s objections seemed more philosophical. He asked Nowak why she thought people’s tax dollars should be used to give out rebates for private purchases. “Some people believe that it’s OK for the government to offer rebates,” Nowak responded. “It’s just a matter of if you want your county residents to be offered more (rebate) dollars or not.” Gray was not convinced the plan had much merit, however. “Are we going to be giving out rebates for other things?” he asked. “Where do we stop? Pretty quick we’re going to be saying we need to raise your taxes. We spent so much helping you out, we need to raise taxes to help you some more.” Collin Smith can be reached at 875-1794 or cesmith@craigdaily press.com.

Governor declares Monday Meth Awareness Day Daily Press Staff
Gov. Bill Ritter has proclaimed Monday as Colorado Meth Awareness Day, according to a proclamation signed earlier this month. In his proclamation, the governor cited several methrelated facts surrounding the drug’s use in Colorado. Those facts include: • From 2003 to 2006, Colorado ranked eighth in the county for the total quantity of 49,000 past-year meth users. • The state’s rate of methrelated crime is 56 percent higher than the national average and “is a significant economic and social cost burden on the state, espe-
cially because of increased foster-care placements for children.” • Colorado has taken “significant action” to counteract meth abuse through collaboration between law enforcement, treatment experts, lawmakers and prevention experts as part of the state’s Methamphetamine Task Force. • The U.S. Department of Justice considers meth a “primary drug threat to Colorado.” The proclamation also cites the RAND Corporation’s Drug Policy Research Center, which states methamphetamine costs the United States about $23.4 billion each year.

Book Bash a forum for readers Steamboat event Thursday offers picks from librarians, booksellers By MARGARET HAIR For the Daily Press
Steamboat Springs — In compiling an invitation list for the inaugural Book Club Bash, event organizer Jennie Lay found Yampa Valley book clubs for couples, book clubs for men, book clubs for women who drink wine and book clubs for spirituality. “There are so many different themes and formats and great reading lists out there among all these book clubs that we wanted to give book clubs an opportunity and a forum to share ideas and what they’re doing and glean ideas from other book clubs,” said Lay, adult programs coordinator for Bud Werner Memorial Library. At 7 p.m. Thursday, the Book Club Bash will offer local book clubs and interested readers a chance to share their ideas and get recommendations for the coming year. The free event is in Library Hall at Bud Werner Memorial
If you go What: Book Club Bash When: 7 p.m. Thursday Where: Library Hall at Bud Werner Memorial Library Cost: Free Call: Epilogue Book Co. at 879-2665; Jennie Lay at 367-4917; or the library at 879-0240
Library. There will be book and book-related giveaways, cake and free tea from The Deep Steep Tea Co. Epilogue Book Co. owner Erica Fogue said interested readers will gain “insider knowledge” along with recommendations from booksellers and librarians. “We all know what book clubs have read, what has been successful and what has not because we get feedback all the time,” Fogue said. Book club members will give presentations on what they’ve liked and disliked, reads that have sparked discussion and what
they’re reading next. Fogue and staff from Epilogue, along with “super librarian” Michelle Dover and library staff will be on hand to give recommendations for book club picks in 2010. Book clubs choose what they’ll read for the next year in December, so Book Bash organizers hope to get as many new ideas to readers as they can before the end of the year, Fogue and Lay said. “Hopefully, book clubs will come to this event and walk away with a bunch of great ideas for reading lists, discussion ideas and ways to grow and expand what they’re already doing and make the book club experience better for everybody,” Lay said. Lay also plans to announce the three authors signed on for the 2010 Literary Sojourn. Scheduled for Oct. 2, Literary Sojourn typically brings five internationally recognized authors and about 500 book lovers together to discuss literary topics.

ice President Joe Biden was on “The Daily Show” recently, being grilled, ever so lightly, by host Jon Stewart on why unemployment was so high and the Obama administration’s $787 billion stimulus package seems to be producing so few jobs. “As I sit here,” Stewart asked, “I can’t figure how to tell if you guys are Jedi masters who are making 10 chess moves ahead, or if this whole thing is kicking your asses.” Biden chuckled, “I think we’re in between.” He went on to say that job growth traditionally lags behind growth in GDP by 12 to 18 months. By the first quarter of next year, he predicted, the stimulus program will begin producing jobs and “and not just make-work jobs. We’re trying to build a new platform for the 21st century.” President Barack Obama has scheduled a “jobs summit” next month to sell this concept and perhaps take some of the heat off House Democrats who face re-election next year. Republicans are shamelessly exploiting the crisis that began on their watch, but that’s the nature of the political game. The problem is that this is not a game. What may be occurring is a seismic shift in the American economy, one
that could leave as many as one in four Americans permanently unemployed or so drastically underemployed that he or she can’t make ends meet. That’s the situation today. The greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression has resulted in the greatest social dislocation since the Great Depression. • Since December 2007, 8.2 million Americans have lost their jobs. Unemployment reached 10.2 percent in October, the highest since April 1982. Many economists forecast the jobless rate will stay above 10 percent well into the second quarter of 2010. And that counts only those who are actively seeking jobs; by some estimates, the real unemployment rate may be as high as 22 percent. On Thursday, the Mortgage Bankers Association reported that 14 percent of American homeowners — a record high — were having trouble paying their home loans in the third quarter of the year: 9.6 percent were delinquent and an additional 4.5 percent already were in foreclosure. A year ago, only 9.7 percent of mortgages were in trouble. Between August 2007 and August 2009, 1.8 million families lost their homes to foreclosure, and foreclosure proceedings had begun on another 5.6 million homes. • On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that 49 million
Americans — including almost one of every four children — lived with hunger last year. With unemployment growing, it’s safe to assume the problem is even worse this year. • The Federal Reserve reported this month that consumer borrowing fell $14.8 billion in September, a record eight straight months of decline. This is not necessarily a bad thing; for years economists bemoaned the nation’s spendthrift ways. But the economic good times Americans enjoyed in the 1990s and early 2000s were built on credit; a thriftier America will leave a lot of people out of work. All of this comes on top of decades of jobs lost to mechanization, computerization and globalization, all of which led to a drastic decline in the American manufacturing base and declining union membership in the private sector. The service and retail sectors boomed, but those jobs usually don’t come with the wages and benefits of manufacturing jobs. The tech sector has blossomed, but you can’t get in there with a lousy education. The health care sector has grown to become 16 percent of the economy, creating a lot of jobs but also — as you may have heard — a cost explosion. For decades, kids have been warned to prepare themselves for college if they wanted a See JObless on page 7
The Hindu dairymen, represented by the Hare Krishna in the United States, have much in common with dairymen from California, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The HK dairy is in West Virginia and is called New Vrinaban. They refer to themselves as a cow sanctuary. The big distincBaxter Black tion is they never cull a cow. Granted, this sounds familiar to many a ranch wife who has often heard her husband shout over the noise of the preg checkin’ chute, “I know she’s open and got no teeth, but let’s run her one more year!” When you hear that the HK cowmen sometimes name their cows, that’s not remarkable. I can recall Nicole, Two Dot and Dallas from my own bunch! The HK comment that “… cows are very dear to us, we take care of them like our own family.” How many hundreds of times have you “normal” cattlemen missed dinner, stayed up all night, nursed calves in the bathtub, ridden into a blinding blizzard, fired up the generator to keep milking, gone into debt and put your human family second behind a cow in distress? The HK dairy cows eat grain while they are being milked twice a day. They preach the “power” of cows to provide everything from milk for their children to manure for their farm. They make butter, yogurt and sweets. DITTO for traditional dairymen. But the paths of these two dairymen diverge in a profound way when the HK states, “slaughtering an animal is not natural for human beings.” Have they not seen the paintings on the cave walls? Where do they get these ideas? Why did they invent the sharp knife and BBQ sauce? For cole slaw? So how do these HK dairymen earn the approximately $100,000 a year they say is required to pay for the hay, the barn, the workers and property taxes on an 80 head operation where cows are never culled and less than 10 percent are in the milking string? They fundraise. That’s right. Just like PETA, the Sierra Club, HSUS, the Farm Sanctuary and other ANTI groups who rattle their bells and beg on the fringes of American’s abundantly productive agricultural symphony. “Adopt a cow!” is their plea. I suspect they think their See Black on page 7

Jobless: We must end disparities in health care job, but high school dropout rates still are increasing, and only 37 percent of the U.S. work force has at least a bachelor’s degree. Their median income in 2007 was almost $47,000, according to the Census Bureau. Meanwhile, the median for someone who had attended college but failed to get a four-year degree was nearly $33,000, and the median for a high-school graduate was nearly $27,000. Today, as college-educated workers get laid off, they often replace less-educated workers at theirs, as long as the bettereducated worker is willing to work for less. Younger workers find it hard to move up because their older colleagues are putting off retirement. Even the competition for low-wage jobs is fierce, as immigrants — both legal and illegal — compete with undereducated native-born Americans for work. What emerges is a Darwinian landscape where the well-born
and well-entrenched thrive; the fortunate and the well-prepared get by and everyone else competes desperately to make it. Poverty, as the conservative Heritage Foundation reminds us, is a relative thing. “While real material hardship certainly does occur, it is limited in scope and severity,” the foundation reported. “Most of America’s ‘poor’ live in material conditions that would be judged as comfortable or well-off just a few generations ago.” True enough. In the 1950s and 1960s, few homes had air conditioners or color TVs and got only three or four channels on television, clothes were hung on clotheslines to dry, and most phones were black and came with cords. Meals were eaten at home, not at fast-food places. A blue-collar worker could support a family while mom stayed home with the kids. It worked because there was hope of better. It worked because most folks remembered worse and never had known any better. It worked because people didn’t
have a sense they were being kicked around by forces beyond their control. That’s no longer the case. Government regulation and spending only eased the economic dislocation caused by the Great Depression; as late as 1940, unemployment still was at 14.6 percent. It took World War II to end it. It will take a similar, if not so bloody, shared sacrifice to end the current economic dislocation. The stimulus bill and Mr. Obama’s “jobs summit” won’t do it by itself. Growth without jobs is not recovery. We must end disparities in medical care and get costs under control. We must get the financial plunderers under control and get credit moving for small businesses. We must keep Americans in their homes under responsible terms. We must hold more parents and schools responsible for their children’s education and make college affordable. And we must do all of this without exploding the deficit.

are trying to make a dollar. The HK say they worship cows. Yet they still keep them in confinement, breed them, milk them and profit from their sacrifice. I sense a twinge of hypocrisy in their righteousness. I’ve kept old horses long

Store manager Corey Cockrum, 37, said he opened the doors slightly ahead of schedule to let people in, out of the cold. As he stood near the entrance watching people come in and out, he predicted a good day. “We had a great Thanksgiving, and we’re looking forward to having a great Black Friday, as

The ad will appear Saturday in the Casper Star-Tribune. Salazar is opting for smallerscale oil-shale leases that he says are environmentally sensitive.

Man tries to haul away ATM in Boulder BOULDER — Police in Boulder say a man apparently tried to steal an ATM by hauling it away with a truck. The plan didn’t work.

Sheriff’s deputies say some people were arguing about their place in the line and a man bumped into the woman, knocking her to the ground. She was treated for minor injuries at the scene and wasn’t taken to the hospital. Retailers tried to manage the crush of people waiting to get in for early morning sales. Shoppers entering a J.C.

MOFFAT COUNTY NATIONAL FFA ORGANIZATION MEMBERS, FROM LEFT, president Taelor Stagner, Mandi Ellgen, Nate Moon and Jess Wiseman are teaming up with the Moffat County High School Student Council to raise food for the KRAI holiday drive.

‘It’s all about giving back’ MCHS and FFA to contribute to holiday food drive
By NICOLE INGLIS DAILY PRESS WRITER
Moffat County High School students will have only a week to reach their goal of filling a horse trailer full of canned food. It’s a lofty goal, student coun cil president Slade Gurr said,
but he thinks the school can collect more than 4,000 cans in the spirit of giving during the holiday season. Members of Moffat County National FFA Organization and the Moffat County High School Student Council are enlisting the help of students, faculty and staff throughout
the district to fill up the trailer with food donations to support KRAI’s holiday food drive. The food drive begins Mon day. Student council secretary Velvet Warne said FFA histori cally has done the food drive, but the student council stepped in last year to help the FFA
when they needed it. “They needed our support to help bringing food down there and organizing it,” Warne said. “They didn’t have enough members last year, so we stepped in to help.” To encourage participation, the food drive will be run as
a competition among second hour classes. The class with the most dona tions will receive breakfast cooked for them by the student council and FFA members Dec. 11. “We do it as a competition See DRIVE on page 13

because if high schools get a reward for something, they’re more likely to participate,” Warne said. And so far, the reinforcement is working and teachers are upping the stakes. Heather Sweet’s secondperiod class began a friendly rivalry with Terri Harjes, who is expecting a large turnout because she’s offering extra credit for donations. FFA sentinel and MCHS student Nate Moon said helping provide food to families in need was part of the agricultural organization’s mission. “FFA, that’s what’s it’s all about — feeding America,” Moon said. “It ties right in to what we’re all about. FFA helps the community in a lot of ways. Just to help everybody that’s in need. Try to help the community as much as we can. This is a big way we can help so we want to take advantage of it.” Gurr said no matter how the donations come in, it’s important for students to stay involved in their community

My kids are not going to forget that they went to a tiny one-room school in Brown’s Park. They made lots of memories Of course, THE VIEW there were no FROM MAYBELL school buses, so we parents drove the kids to school. For some, it was a 20- or 30-mile trip, and others were six to 10 miles. I remember one morning in particuKathy Bassett lar, we pulled into the schoolyard, but the kids couldn’t get into the school. The doors were locked. I walked around to the back door and could see some students and the teacher inside, so I knocked. The teacher opened the door with a huge sigh of relief and asked me to please call the sheriff because some wild man had been pounding on the door yelling something about a Toro. She was frightened.
during difficult economic times. “We’re all in the same boat here,” Gurr said. “We all have to help each other out. It’s the holidays. It’s not about gifts, it’s all about giving back and helping fellow community members.” Warne said the food drive was somewhat successful last year but that sometimes high school students don’t think about helping others during the holiday season. “I think a lot of kids don’t realize the importance of donating,” she said. “Without donating to help people in need, how can you expect people to help you when you’re in need?” Nicole Inglis can be reached at 875-1793, or ninglis@craigdailypress.com.
Well, we knew that Toro meant bull, so we sort of figured out who the “wild man” was and drove over to see what the problem was. He was very upset, excitedly pointing at the corrals. There laid a bull definitely looking sickly, so we called the ranch owner who told us what to do. We gave the bull a shot, which saved the bull and everyone lived happily ever after. Even the teacher was happy that it turned out OK. The “wild man” turned out to be somewhat lonesome, but very friendly, so he enjoyed it immensely when we’d visit. We couldn’t speak each other’s language, but we drew lots of pictures. One frosty winter morning, we were goose hunting and decided to also trap some muskrats. The “X” would take a board, attach a muskrat trap and nail an apple on the board. Then he would set it into the pond and it would float along. He caught lots of muskrats that way. The “wild man” was really watching us closely, and when the “X” let the last board loose into the water, the little guy
started jumping around laughing with glee, and all we could get out of him was that he thought we were going to trap “da goose,” which he thought was hilarious. Of course Brown’s Park used to have awesome Christmas parties, and that winter, I invited the “wild man” to go as our guest. He was sure tickled. I noted that throughout all the times we saw him that winter, he didn’t have a warm coat, mittens or anything, so I bought a bright red set of mittens, stocking hat and scarf. He had the happiest face watching everyone open their gifts, but when Santa handed him his gift, he was shocked. He carefully opened the package, and when he saw what it was, he laughed and clapped and was so happy. He put it on right there. I still think about him, remembering how he loved that warm hat, gloves and scarf. From that moment on, he never took them off, and I even saw him wearing them in the summer. Now we come down 30 years later to another tiny rural See BASSETT on page 16

Watching over the water tanks SPECIAL TO THE DAILY PRESS
Moffat Family Clinic
We Can Help!
Page 14
During the winter and spring months, when we’re feeding cows at the house, I have to keep two large water tanks filled. It’s not such a bad job, just monotonous. So, I’ve tried starting the hose and going off to do something else while the tank fills. The problem is, all too often, I get so engrossed in the “something else” that I forget to go back and shut the water off. The results range from mud holes to ice skating rinks. You’d think I’d learn, especially when I get snuggled down in a nice warm bed at night and then remember the water tank. Did I turn the faucet off ? I do so many things automatically that it’s hard to remember. My husband never even asks what I’m doing anymore as I put a coat over my nightclothes, pull on boots, and grab a flashlight. He knows I’m off to check the water tank. Usually the water has been turned off and the hose is coiled around the fence post. Usually. However, there was one occasion that made an impact. It happened in the daylight hours, too. I remember that spring afternoon when I came home from work. The cows, which usually pay no attention to my comings and goings (unless it’s feed time), started for the back part of the pasture. Something was up. When I went out to do the chores, they were all standing near the corral. Then I saw it. The faucet was still on, and
water was spilling over the tank. Already a large pond had formed, and blackbirds were walking around in it. The cows looked at the water. They looked at me. I got the message: There had never been a pond in the back part of the pasture before. After that, I started sitting near the water tanks while they fill. It’s even become pretty much routine (though I have my moments), and I actually enjoy the “down time.” Sometimes I read or write as I wait, but more often, I soak up the sun while I watch the cows and think. And that’s where this story is going. Lately, with the holidays and all, my thoughts have turned to the many things for which I’m grateful, especially for 2009, which is drawing to a close. For example, I’m grateful for the following (and a lot more): • Water to fill the livestock tanks. • The lush and plentiful grass on summer pasture. • A stack full of hay. • Sunny days, like those I enjoy while filling the livestock tanks. • Being able to chuckle at the small things, like kittens playing as they run up and down the trees, or a skunk making a run at the cats to chase them away from the cat food. • A hot cup of coffee in the morning. • Warm socks, mittens, a hat and boots without holes. • Each day that I don’t trip over a frozen manure pile and fall flat in the middle of a bunch of cows fighting over their hay. • Garden produce that we

enjoy summer and winter and a freezer full of homegrown beef. • Friends and family who help me doctor sick calves and gather, sort and haul calves. • Getting to watch a mama cow clean up her newborn calf. • The luscious aroma of spring lilac and chokecherry blossoms. • The robins’ songs on a spring morning. • A warm house on a January day. • The newspaper with a cup of coffee each weekday morning and the lady who graciously delivers it right to our door. • Cold November temperatures (even though they’re not my favorite thing) that might help cut down the populations of insects that destroy crops and trees. • Sharing memories with my 92-year-old father. • Watching our grandchildren grow up and getting the chance to participate in their activities. • That I still have enough energy to shovel drifted snow away from corral gates. • For all the people who put up with my quirks and do things that make my life easier. • Having a wonderful family. • That there’s another year to do all of the things that I didn’t get done this past year. • That there’s another day to watch over the water tank.

S
school in Maybell. Maybell might not have the glamour and glitz of big cities and towns, but it has lots of awesome history and residents. How many schools do you walk into only to be greeted by two really nice antelope mounts hanging on the wall? And Maybell has 17 super kids. They are making memories also. This past week, they, along with big people help, of course, hosted a complete Thanksgiving dinner for Maybell residents, and I want you to know that it was a fabulous feast. When we walked in, they
were getting our drinks for us and fixing the coffee just right. They waited on us at the tables. They cut the pies, which they made, and passed them around. It was awesome. I just hope the boys and girls know how much they are appreciated, and I would like to tell them thanks. It was a wonderful thing to do. In closing, I would like to point out another wonderful thing — not just for Maybell, but all Moffat County. Seniors are invited to fill out an application telling Santa what they would like for a gift. The gift wishes will be placed on tags and hung on
“Giving Trees” at Kmart and Murdochs. They will be listed only as male and female, and all information is totally confidential. Residents will then go pick out a tag, buy that gift and return it to the store, placing it in a collection box next to the tree. A KRAI Media Drive will be held Dec. 9 and 10 to help buy gifts. You should submit your form before Dec 10. The forms are available at Maybell Store, Sunset Meadows I and II, Social Services and United Way, which is located at the First National Bank of the Rockies. Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving and gobbled til ya wobbled.

Money Matters Why Should I Use a Financial Adviser???
o summer has come to an end, and we are all getting ready to buckle down for what they say is going to be a very brutal winter. There is no better time than when you are stuck in your house with no place to go because the roads are too bad to travel on, to think about your retirement. To get you started organizing your activities and to better prepare you for the big day we have put together a retirement check list. 1) Determine if you are on track for your retirement goals As you begin to think about retiring in the upcoming years, it’s a good idea to check that you are still on track with your retirement plans, including the year in which you plan to retire and if you have enough assets to live the lifestyle you have planned. You should think about what you envision your retirement lifestyle to be. Do you plan to travel? Will you stay in your current home or move elsewhere? Evaluate your projected retirement expenses, including your essential expenses (things you must have) along with your discretionary expenses (those things you can do without). You’ll want to review all your future sources of predictable income, including Social Security and pensions. This can help give you an idea of the guaranteed income you can plan on in retirement. Does it align with what you have planned for your essential & discretionary expenses? To see if you are still on track to retire when you planned we recommend talking to a professional retirement planner/ financial advisor. 2) Consider Ways to Boost your Savings Contributing as much as you can to your 401k or IRA in the years leading up to retirement is a great way to boost your savings. Additionally, if you work for a company that matches your 401k contributions, you have an opportunity for even more retirement savings. Also, if you are 50 or older you can take advantage of additional IRA catch up contributions of an additional $1,000 each year. As you approach
retirement, if you determine you don’t have enough saved or simply want to save more, there are other ways to boost your savings including: 1) Consider working longer or working parttime in your early retirement years 2) Evaluate if delaying your Social Security payments may be beneficial 3) Re-evaluate your anticipated retirement lifestyle and make some adjustments to reduce potential expenses 3) Understand Key social security factors You’ll need to apply for Social Security three months prior to the month of your 65th birthday or three months before you want to start collecting benefits. At the earliest, you may apply at 61 years and 9 months of age, although benefit reductions apply depending on your full retirement age (determined by year of birth) and personal situation. If your spouse is deceased, you can begin collecting his/her retirement benefits at age 60, or at age 50 if you are disabled. Note: You will not get the entire benefit to which your spouse was entitled. Because the rules and options can be rather complex, you may want to speak with a Social Security representative in the year before you plan to retire. 4) Evaluate your portfolio & create a plan You should consider what your retirement risk tolerance is: conservative or aggressive? As you enter into retirement, your investment style may change and therefore the needs of your portfolio. It is also important to create an income plan for retirement so that you don’t outlive your assets. Tracking your expenses will give you a clear understanding of your likely retirement expenses - both essential and discretionary. Additionally, deciding what to do with your retirement plan assets when you retire, which can have significant and long lasting financial implications, is another important consideration. Know what the best options are for your situation and understand that some of these decisions may be final.
5) Research healthcare options Your insurance needs may change in retirement just as your financial priorities and responsibilities change. Make sure to periodically review your life, health, homeowners’, and auto insurance policies so that you have the coverage to protect your family and your retirement savings in case of a home catastrophe, acute or chronic illness, or death. Keep in mind that prescription medications or other medical expenses may no longer be covered by your employer or insurance, so investigate how your health coverage and needs may be impacted after you retire. • Make sure you have enough insurance. • Learn more about long-term care insurance. 6) Protect your retirement plans Start your retirement with little to no debt, pay off home loans and vehicle loans and try to
refrain from using credit cards. Additionally, everyone should have a will, but a will by itself may not be enough to protect your assets and help reduce estate taxes and other costs, so you may want to look into setting up a trust. Also, be aware that a “Power of Attorney” and a “Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care” are not the same; the former deals solely with control of assets while the latter only provides for health care decisions. Have your lawyer and/or financial planner review annually your will, trust, powers of attorney, beneficiary designations, and investment plans to make sure that you and your beneficiaries are appropriately protected.

Poinsettias bring grandeur home for holidays (MCT) — When I go to the annual California Pack Trials, it is rare that a poinsettia makes me take the lens cover off my camera. Visions of Grandeur is one that did. It absolutely mesmerized me with its shades of rose pink, cream and yellow. The phrase “visions of grandeur� usually brings a snicker similar to the one brought on by “delusions of grandeur.� We typically consider grandeur unachievable ... until now. This relatively new poinsettia may have achieved that lofty aspiration. To me, Visions of Grandeur is the prettiest poinsettia ever developed. Unless you think red is the only color for poinsettias, you may feel the same way. It is elegant, fit for royalty and will make you want to do whatever it takes to get one. It’s the one you would want to place on a grand piano for everyone to see. Poinsettias are beautiful Christmas plants, so use them boldly in all areas of your home. Last season, I saw two more poinsettias I really like: Tapestry and Ice Punch. Tapestry has the red bracts that are so popular, but the leaves cause the real
commotion. They are variegated but not like other variegated poinsettias. The leaves are green and set off with margins of yellow to cream. This is one striking poinsettia. Ice Punch is different. When you see it, you will be forever hooked. The leaves are dark green, but the cranberry-red bracts with white variegation make this a real showstopper. You may think this poinsettia’s variegated red and white bracts are similar to Jingle Bells’ bracts, but they are not. The margins and veins of Ice Punch are cranberry red, and each bract looks like it was boldly hand painted with white. I’ve seen nothing else like it in the market. And speaking of the market, you may find it to be challenging. One well-known supplier lists close to 100 varieties available to growers, so you can see that the chance of your finding one of the three I mentioned is slim. One way to look at this dilemma is to realize that there are 97 other great selections I did not write about. Why not shop this weekend so you can enjoy poinsettias for the whole season? Look for strong, stiff stems, good leaf and
bract retention, and no signs of wilting, breaking or drooping. Carefully inspect packaged poinsettias before purchasing them. Poinsettias left in sleeves for an extended period of time may become unhealthy. Transport poinsettias carefully. Strong winds or shortterm exposure to temperatures below 40 degrees can permanently damage the plants. Use plant sleeves or large shopping bags for added protection in cold weather. When possible, place the plant in the sunniest exposure in your home. A window that faces south, east or west is better than one facing north. Don’t let the bracts touch the cold windowpanes because freezing outdoor temperatures can damage them. The two problems most often encountered with poinsettias involve watering. Forgetting to water can be disastrous for a poinsettia. Examine the soil daily. When the surface is dry to the touch, water until it runs freely out the drainage hole in the container. The second major problem results from decorative wraps that can trap water and suffocate the roots. Be sure to pour out any excess water.

THE LEAVES OF ICE PUNCH are deep, dark green, but the cranberry-red bracts with white variegation make this a real showstopper. The margins and veins are cranberry red, and each bract looks like it was boldly hand painted with white.

9-by-13-inch cake pan. Cream together the sugar and eggs. Then add the flour, soda, salt, and fruit cocktail. Mix well. Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, until the cake tests done. While the cake bakes, mix up the icing. The ingredients for the icing are: 1/2 cup sugar, 3/4 stick oleo (or butter), 3/4 cup canned milk, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 1 cup coconut, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Put the sugar, canned milk, and oleo or margarine in a saucepan. Mix and then bring to a boil. Cook 10 minutes after it comes to a boil. Remove from heat and add the vanilla. Then add the coconut and pecans. (I chop the pecans.) Spread the icing on the warm cake. (The icing will probably be thin.) This cake is very moist. I refrigerate the leftovers.

And he has some real competition, with Lautner excelling as lycanthropic lothario Jacob, trimming his tresses and bulking up considerably from his last appearance. How fortunate for the girls in the audience he spends most of his time running around in shorts and high tops while on screen, but at least he comes off as realistic in addition to being hunky. Much of the supporting cast founders with uninspired roles, although among the standouts: Ashley Greene as Edward’s sprightly, clairvoyant sister Alice; Michael Sheen — reversing his werewolf affiliation from the other big vampire/werewolf civil war series “Underworld: Rise of the Lycans” — as Aro, leader of the vampire aristocracy, the Volturi; and as his malicious guard Jane, Dakota Fanning,

‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’
Wickes Ave
Who could forget their senior year of high school? With the friendships, the prospect of the future, the love triangle with two different creatures of the night … Or was that last example just in “New Moon?” Teenager Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is findAndy Bockelman ing that dating a vampire can be quite an ordeal. Aside from being 90 years younger than her lover, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), there’s always the inherent danger of spending time with his family, certain members of which aren’t as warm to her as her sweetie is. But as long as Edward is around, she feels perfectly safe — which makes it all the more difficult when he breaks up with her, claiming that they won’t work as a couple because of their different lives. Wallowing in anguish for months after Edward’s departure from the town of Forks,
Bella’s malaise finally begins to lift as she spends more time with good friend Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), who has serious feelings of his own for her. While the pain from her break-up prevents her from being close with him, she still can’t help but feel love for him. But Jacob has a secret of his own: His Native American tribe, the Quileute, is comprised of a group of shape-shifting warriors who protect the area from malevolent vampires. And although he is sworn not to harm Edward or his family, Jacob’s protectiveness of Bella may just get a little hairy. It’s hard to tell if it’s Bella’s characterization or Stewart’s portrayal that makes her so offputting, but it’s a bit too much to swallow that this is supposed to be a girl who becomes the ultimate object of desire of both a vampire and a werewolf. It’s not so much the dense lines that she has to utter, it’s the fact that a young actress as talented as Stewart can’t make it work in spite of these faults. The same goes for Pattinson, though he’s clearly there — in a notably smaller capacity than in “Twilight” — just to look pretty and shiny.

BOCKELMAN: Story flow is very lackadaisical FROM PAGE 24
Queen Baby....
Introducing
Craig Daily Press
who looks at least a decade older with crimson contact lenses. Maybe you have to be Fanning’s age to truly appreciate the “Twilight” movies and the Stephenie Meyer books upon which they’re based, but there are admittedly some improvements to be seen in this sequel. Besides Lautner’s move into the spotlight and a much more biting sense of humor all around, there is a much clearer use of imagery at hand, such as the dreamscape of the Washington forests representing Bella’s recurring insomnia
and the confusion and uncertainty about her life. The whole tone of the movie feels more dream-like, but even the best dream can turn into a nightmare. And this isn’t the best dream, by far. Forgetting — not forgiving — the lackadaisical story flow, there’s something very upsetting about Bella and Edward’s drastically desperate “I don’t want to live without you” outlook, a perverse twist on “Romeo & Juliet” that misses the point of everlasting love entirely. It manifests itself even worse with her as she loses her whole sense of self and becomes borderline suicidal.
It wouldn’t be as much of a concern if the “Twilight” franchise hadn’t already become such an entity unto itself. The “Team Edward” and “Team Jacob” T-shirts and buttons alone make it seem like a religion with numerous denominations. Of course, the topper of “New Moon” is a smug, James Bond-esque, post-credits reminder that the forthcoming “Eclipse” will be released in 2010. As if the legions of fans and 24-hour media coverage would let us forget. Now playing at the West Theater.

Husband puts wife Horoscope low on priority list Dear Annie: I have been married more than 10 years. “Chet” is a great father to our kids but not such a terrific husband. For the past five years, I have been emotionally ANNIE’S neglected and MAILBOX put at the bottom of his priority list. When I beg him to pay more attention to me, things will change for a couple of weeks and then I’m back to being neglected again. I have spent these years tryKathy and Marcy ing not to hurt anyone. I have sheltered my kids from my pain so they wouldn’t worry. After years of pleasing everyone else, I finally have decided I deserve to be happy. I asked Chet to move out. He acted surprised, as if I’ve never mentioned our problems before. I gave him all my reasons again. He says he wants to change and I should give him another chance. But he’s had dozens of chances. How many more do I have to give him, knowing it never lasts? How many years do I have to be
miserable before it’s my turn to enjoy life? Chet refuses to leave the house and says he has nowhere to go. I won’t leave without my kids, and they need the stability of staying in their home. We have grown so far apart that I no longer have the energy to work on this. I went for counseling, but stopped when Chet said he was “too busy” to try the counselor’s suggestions. My family is acting like I’m out of my mind, but then, I don’t tell my family everything. How do I convince them this is the right thing? How do I make my children understand that Mom and Dad can still be friends even if they are not married? — Finally Getting Happy Dear Finally: When young children are involved, splitting apart the family is often traumatic, and it will take time for them to adjust. We recommend counseling for your family, preferably with Chet, to help you better prepare the children. As for the rest of the relatives, simply ask that they not be overly involved in your decisions. If you are truly making the right choice, they will eventually see it. Dear Annie: You’ve suggested deflecting unwanted hugging by offering to shake hands. What should I do if it’s the handshake that’s the problem? In the past several years, my arthritis has gotten worse. I can still work, and my job requires me to meet many people every day. Naturally, a handshake is mandatory. Many people have bone-crushing grips that would probably be painful even without arthritis, and they can be excruciating for me. There’s no way to avoid a handshake when customers offer a hand, but is there anything I can do or say so they know not to squeeze so hard? — Feeling the Pain in Ohio Dear Ohio: Try grabbing their arm or wrist instead of their hand, and explain that your arthritis makes shaking hands terribly difficult and you hope they understand. Readers? Any other suggestions? Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — There are few other signs that enjoy games as much as Sagittarians, and activities that contain elements of chance could be lucky for you. This does not include taking a foolish gamble, though. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Put on your thinking cap, and let it start working in ways that could add to your resources and holdings. Financial conditions look especially bright right now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Adopting a positive attitude could be far more valuable than usual, because what you envision has an excellent chance of becoming reality. Amaze yourself, your family and friends with your good luck. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Much to your delight, a negative situation could suddenly shift toward something that provides a unique advantage for you and anyone else tagging along. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You’re inclined to favor a group situation rather than hanging out with just one friend. Not that you wouldn’t have a good time; it’s just that you would rather be part of a gathering. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Delegate as much time as possible to engaging in something that’s significant to you. Lady Luck favors meaningful projects or events. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Owing to your expansive perspective on life, anything of a mental nature could turn out to be rewarding for you. Broaden your world, so you can expand your views. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Traditional activities may hold less of a punch than would a brand-new involvement. If you have an opportunity to try your hand at a fresh pursuit, do so. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Because everyone will be enthusiastic about partaking in a joint endeavor, it should turn out to be not only exciting and dynamic but a great success. Don’t hesitate to be part of it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — What you may have thought was a liability could turn around and transform itself into something quite beneficial. Keep all your options open. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Someone you haven’t seen for a while might make a happy appearance. Although this person may not hang around as long as you would like, you’ll get to spend some quality time together. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Get out and go shopping if you can because that unique but useful and hard-to-find item is out there just waiting for you to stumble across. It can happen.

Officials: State dinner Military divorces edge up in 8th year of war crashers met Obama WASHINGTON (AP) — The Virginia couple who crashed a presidential dinner met President Barack Obama in the receiving line, the White House said Friday, as a “deeply concerned and embarrassed” Secret Service acknowledged its officers failed to check whether the couple was on the guest list. The White House released a photo showing the Salahis in the receiving line in the Blue Room with Obama and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, in whose honor the dinner was held. Obama and Michaele Salahi are smiling as she grasps his right hand with both of hers as her husband, Tareq, looks on. Singh is standing to the left of Obama. The Secret Service earlier this week had said the president was not in danger because the couple — like others at the dinner — had gone through magnetometers. But in light of their close proximity to the president, no such claim was made Friday. The Salahis were not on the guest list and should have been prohibited from entering last Tuesday’s dinner on the White House South Lawn for the prime minister of India, said Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan. On Friday, Sullivan was apol-
ogetic in a written statement, saying the agency that protects the president is “deeply concerned and embarrassed” that procedures were not followed. “As our investigation continues, appropriate measures have been taken to ensure this is not repeated,” Sullivan said. Secret Service spokesman Jim Mackin said officers at the checkpoint had a clipboard with names of the invited guests. Even though the Salahis names weren’t on it, they were allowed to proceed. The officers should have called either someone on the White House staff or Secret Service personnel before allowing them past the checkpoint, Mackin said. Earlier, Mackin said the Secret Service may pursue a criminal investigation of the Salahis. Sullivan said, “The preliminary findings of our internal investigation have determined established protocols were not followed at an initial checkpoint, verifying that two individuals were on the guest list. “Although these individuals went through magnetometers and other levels of screening, they should have been prohibited from entering the event entirely. That failing is ours,” he said.
Body of trapped spelunker won’t be recovered in Utah SPANISH FORK, Utah (AP) — The popular Utah cave where a 26-year-old medical student died earlier in the week will be closed permanently and his body will not be removed, state and county officials said Friday. Any effort to recover John Jones’ body from the cramped underground chute where he became stuck with his head at an angle below his feet Tuesday night would simply be too dangerous, they said. “If we put other people in that same location, they could get stuck or get hurt,” said Lt. John Valentine with Utah County search and rescue. Jones, of Stansbury Park, died just before midnight Wednesday — about 28 hours after getting wedged into a tight, unmapped passage of Nutty Putty Cave. Workers had tried feverishly to free him from the underground chute about 100 feet below the surface and about 400 feet from the cave’s entrance. Jones was trapped headfirst in a vertical shaft about 18 inches wide and 10 inches high. The 1,500-foot Nutty Putty cave is south of Salt Lake City.
Utah County Sheriff Jim Tracy said Jones’ exact cause of death will probably never be known but contributing factors likely included his inverted position for a prolonged period of time and the cave’s cold temperatures. Those who met Friday morning — state officials from the agency that owns the land, the cave’s operators, Jones’ family and law enforcement officials — said they decided unanimously to close the cave as quickly as possible. “We’ve suffered a tragedy in this cave that we hope to prevent from happening again,” said Sgt. Tom Hodgson, coordinator for Utah County’s search and rescue operations. A “Herculean effort” to free him was limited by the cramped space, leaving one rescuer chipping away rock with a ballpeen hammer just six inches to swing, said Sgt. Tom Hodgson, coordinator for Utah County’s search and rescue operations. “We feel like it would be John’s will to protect the safety of future cavers,” his younger brother, Josh, said at a news conference Friday.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The toll for a nation long at war is evident in military homes: The divorce rate in the armed forces edged up again in the past year despite many programs to help struggling couples, and the rate now is a full percentage point higher than around the time of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. There were an estimated 27,312 divorces among roughly 765,000 married members of the active-duty Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps in the budget year that ended Sept. 30, the Pentagon said Friday.
That’s a divorce rate of about 3.6 percent for fiscal year 2009, compared with 3.4 percent a year earlier, according to figures from the Defense Manpower Data Center. Marriages among reservists failed at a rate of 2.8 percent compared to 2.7 the previous year. Air Force Maj. April Cunn ingham, a Defense Department spokeswoman, said the changes from 2008 to 2009 were relatively small because of a myriad of programs offered by the services. “All military services have a variety of programs focused on
strengthening and/or enriching family bonds among couples,” she said. “We believe these programs are instrumental in mitigating the stresses deployment places on marriages.” Still, the figures show a slow but steady upward trend in recent years as American forces fought the two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Friday’s reported 3.6 percent rate is a full percentage point above the 2.6 percent reported in late 2001, when the U.S. began sending troops to Afghanistan in response to the September terrorist attacks.

LIKE A GOOD NEIGHBOR, STATE FARM IS THERE.® 20334837
STATE FARM BANK • HOME OFFICE: BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS • statefarm.com®
NEW YORK (AP) — This was the sideswipe investors had feared. The stock market is in the middle of one of the great rallies of a generation, but for weeks there has been a nagging fear that bad news was never far off. The news came from Dubai, a wealthy Middle Eastern city-state that many Americans probably couldn’t find on a map. Concerns that a government-backed investment company risked defaulting on $60 billion in debt ripped through world markets and
served as a reminder of how fragile the financial system remains a year after it nearly collapsed. The Dow Jones industrial average slumped 155 points Friday before trading ended three hours early because of the Thanksgiving holiday. The Dow fell as much as 233 points. The broad retreat from riskier assets pushed Treasury prices higher. The dollar gained against most other major currencies and commodities tumbled. Now the question that will dog
investors during the weekend is whether the markets will shrug off a financial crisis in the Middle East or seek protection in more conservative investments. That could end a rally that has seen the Dow surge 57.5 percent since March 9. Stocks ended well off their lows but analysts cautioned that the shortened day and scarcity of traders meant the real test for the markets will come next week as traders return from long weekends.

Kobasew gets hat trick as Wild beat Avs, 5-3
shawn mchugh/daily press
Moffat County High School post players, from left, juniors Lauren Roberts and Britteny Ivers, and seniors Lindsey Yoast and Jessi Moser will have to hold their ground for the MCHS girls varsity basketball team this season. The post players voted Roberts as the team’s best rebounder.
The fleet-footed frontcourt
Small and fast is the plan of attack for MCHS girls basketball team By BEN BULKELEY Daily Press writer
There isn’t one player more than six-feet tall among Moffat County High School girls varsity basketball forwards. There isn’t a starter left from last year’s team. And, most importantly, there isn’t a problem with that. The team knows it won’t tower over its opponents. Instead, they plan on running around them. Senior Lindsey Yoast said this year’s post players are a collection of athletic forwards with a skill set unlike other teams in the Western Slope League. “We are definitely a lot faster this year,” she said. “We take care of the ball — everyone can handle the ball on this team.” Without last year’s starting five — the 4A academic state champions — the team will be forced to find offense from

County has its front- and backcourts for the next two years. With Lauren Roberts and Yoast, the Bulldogs still will command a presence in the paint. Roberts was an almost unanimous choice among her teammates as the Bulldogs best rebounder, while Yoast is a hard-working forward capable of giving Moffat County quality minutes. Yoast also was voted as the best offensive post player in a vote among the other forwards. Yoast said the challenges
this year will come from two familiar opponents. “Steamboat and Glenwood are both going to be good,” she said. “They have the height advantage, and we are faster.” But with Steamboat Springs in the hunt, the Bulldogs know who lurks in the paint. “For me, Steamboat will be tough because of Colleen,” Roberts said of Colleen King, a 6-foot-1-inch forward, anchors the paint for the Sailors.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota is happy to have Chuck Kobasew back.

Avs 3 Owen Nolan Wild 5 also scored and Niklas Backstrom stopped 31 shots for Minnesota in the opener of a home-and-home series. Mikko Koivu had three assists. “It’s nice to contribute. You want to be a part of it, especially offensively,” said Kobasew, who scored an empty-net goal with 17.9 seconds left to complete his second career hat trick. His first was Jan. 24, 2006, at Colorado. It was his second game back after missing the previous four with an upper-body injury. Known as a grinder with a scoring touch, Kobasew was acquired in a trade with the Bruins Oct. 18. He had 21 and 22 goals the past two seasons with Boston. “He had a couple of other opportunities almost from the same area of the ice, in the middle. He just wasn’t able to get the shots off. Tonight he was rewarded with two really nice goals,” said coach Todd Richards. Antti Miettinen has missed two straight games with an illness, allowing Kobasew to play on a line with Koivu and Brunette. They probably aren’t about to be split apart anytime soon. “I’m just trying to pick up on their tendencies and get them the puck,” Kobasew said. “Those guys are the skill guys, and I let them make their plays and just try to find a spot where I can be open and be an option for them.” “He’s done a real good job trying to talk to us, try and feel us out, try to get into those positions where we can take advantage of his shot,” Brunette said. “If he can get himself into those positions he’s going to get a lot of chances.”

players, Moffat County will rely on 3-guards capable of crashing the boards inside and draining outside shots. Ivers and Moser will both see time at forward, giving Moffat County the potential to outrun its opponents. Moser is an athletic forward who brings experience to the frontcourt. Knowing teams such as Glenwood Springs, Rifle and Steamboat Springs could tower over the Bulldogs doesn’t phase the senior. “We’re little,” Moser said. “But we have enough power that it doesn’t really matter.” Ivers has the height of a small forward with the shooting touch of a two-guard. The track and field athlete said Moffat County can overcome its height disadvantage with hard work. “This is a team full of sprinters,” Ivers said. “Everyone on this team is fast.” Ben Bulkeley can be reached at 875-1795 or bbulkeley@ craigdailypress.com.

Broncos’ have red zone struggles apologized Thursday night and on Friday, the network did so again. “We are sorry for the mistake last night,” NFL Network spokesman Dennis Johnson said. “NFL Network will conduct a thorough review to ensure it never happens again.” Broncos linemen would be wise to ensure they avoid similar meltdowns themselves. Against the Giants, it didn’t cost them as they rolled to a 20-point win, but during their monthlong losing streak, the Broncos’ proclivity for penalties cost them yardage, opportunities and composure. As for McDaniels’ reaction to being caught on camera cursing at his bumbling team, the coach offered no apologies for his obscenities. “That’s their business,” McDaniels said of the league network’s gaffe. “And the fact is, we went over there and tried to have a little bit of an eye to eye.”
Cornhuskers get sloppy win against CU BOULDER (AP) — This is why Bo Pelini didn’t want his team even thinking about Texas until next week. With the Big 12 North title already wrapped up, he forbade the Nebraska Cornhuskers from so much as mentioning Saturday’s the Longhorns, game: whom they’ll face Buffaloes 20 in the conference Huskers 28 championship next Saturday. Sure enough, the Colorado Buffaloes gave Nebraska all it could handle before the Huskers left Folsom Field with a sloppy 28-20 win Friday. Nebraska had just as tough of a tuneup for the Big 12 champi-
onship game as the third-ranked Longhorns did one day earlier when they beat Texas A&M, 49-39, to keep their national championship hopes alive. “I thought we took a step back today,” Pelini said after the Cornhuskers (9-3, 6-2) struggled on offense and only pulled this one out because of touchdowns on a punt return and an interception. “It was a very average effort,” agreed Nebraska nose tackle Ndamukong Suh. “I think we were playing hard but there were aspects of the game where we definitely made a lot of mistakes. We shouldn’t allow that. It was just a collective game of small plays where we were right there to make the play and we didn’t do it.”
The Buffaloes (3-9, 2-6) put up a good fight one day after learning their embattled coach would return next season. Dan Hawkins is 16-33 with four losing seasons, a 2-20 road record and a 10-22 mark in conference play since bolting Boise State in 2006 to clean up a program tarnished by scandal under Gary Barnett’s watch. Although he’s succeeded in that regard, Hawkins has lost games and fans by the bunches. Many alumni and fans figured the failure to come anywhere close to the double-digit wins and a bowl berth that Hawkins set as his goal this season would cost the coach his job. But athletic director Mike Bohn decided to give him another year rather than a pink slip and a $3.1 million buyout.

tight end Daniel Graham, left tackle Ryan Clady and center Casey Wiegmann. “It was frustrating to get down for the second time and to have some mishaps,” quarterback Kyle Orton said after Denver recovered for a 26-6 win that snapped a fourgame losing streak. “We had some pretty much dumb penalties. That’s been our Achilles’ heel, penalties and the red zone offense.” “It’s great to have a coach like that, you know, emotional,” Orton said. “We’ve got a lot of emotion on our offense. I think our guys appreciate it and thrive off of it.” Coming back from a commercial, however, the network showed a clip of McDaniels yelling at his offense and uttering two profanities that should have been bleeped out.

ENGLEWOOD (AP) — The Denver Broncos’ red zone struggles led to some red faces at the NFL Network. Even though his players heeded his admonition to channel their emotions in a more positive direction after losing their composure in a loss to the San Diego Chargers four nights earlier, Broncos coach Josh McDaniels’ expletivefilled harangue was accidentally aired for a national Thanksgiving audience of earwitnesses. After blowing their second first-and-goal opportunity of the night with three false starts by three different players that resulted in a short field goal, McDaniels was livid, as just about any coach would be. After all, this was a home game, so crowd noise couldn’t be blamed for the false starts by
