Holiday Wishes takes on new form United Way to create Holiday Exchange Market this winter Teresa Ristow STEAMBOAT TODAY

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Ongoing complaints about the format of Routt County United Way’s annual Holiday Wishes giving program has led organizers to revamp the event as a shopping marketplace.

Gifts will be collected for the new Holiday Exchange Market through Dec. 4, and the new event hopefully will offer participants more dignity and participating organizations less hassle, while still offering the public a chance to give to those in need, United Way Executive Director Kate Nowak said.

Nowak said the Holiday Wishes program had been tweaked throughout the years, and while she heard last year’s collaboration was one of the best, she still received numerous complaints from givers and recipients.

“There were lots of complaints about the process,” Nowak said.

Previously, participating human services agencies identified families in need, who requested types of holiday gifts they were most interested in — such as clothing, food and toys — and then sponsors were solicited to “adopt” families and purchase their selected gifts anonymously, working through the various agencies to distribute presents.

Nowak said she heard from See Giving, page 2

local agencies to also read the book.

She said the themes discussed in the book could apply locally, and agency representatives saw the Holiday Wishes program as a good place to enact change.

“There was an agreement in the room that we needed to change,” Nowak said. “We all agreed that a revamp of the Holiday Wishes program would be in order.”

Nowak said that while all of the participating agencies are on board with the Holiday Exchange Market, there has been some resistance to the new format.

“There is a little pushback from those that like the old program, and change is hard,” Nowak said.

The marketplace will exclusively offer gift cards for groceries, toys and winter clothing, and supporters will no longer be able to adopt a real, specific family, but they still can set out to purchase a family’s worth of gifts, Nowak said.

Food cards and the market format can offer participants the feeling of more dignity than having their items selected for them, Nowak said.

The new program leaves a gap of service for senior citizens who used to participate in the Holiday Wishes program, said Vickie Clark, director of Routt County Department of Human Services.

“They are one of the populations that the store won’t serve,” Clark said.

Elderly residents at Casey’s Pond Senior Living probably wouldn’t choose toys or outdoor clothing as their gifts, and

since they’re fed at the facility, food cards wouldn’t make sense either, she said. And senior citizens living at home who participated in Holiday Wishes before probably wouldn’t want to make the trip to the marketplace, Clark said.

To remedy this, the Department of Human Services reached out to county departments that have agreed to “adopt” the elderly, meaning county employees will use the prior Holiday Wishes format to buy gifts. Clark said people who contact the United Way specifically seeking a family to adopt might be referred to the county’s program, as well.

“We will follow the more traditional model,” Clark said.

As the coordinating agency for the Holiday Exchange Market, Routt County United Way is asking for donations of winter clothes for all ages, $25 gift cards to local grocery stores as well as toys. It’s partnered with Toys for Tots in toy collection and asks that toys and clothes be dropped off at one of 20 boxes set up across town. Gift cards will be collected by United Way. Participants for the marketplace will be coordinated through the participating agencies, and the marketplace will take place Dec. 12 to 15 at Colorado Mountain College.

More information about how to get involved with the Holiday Exchange Market is available on United Way’s website at www. routtcountyunitedway.org.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

A flashier generation of pedestrian crosswalk signals is coming to Steamboat Springs.

At six busy crossings, the city and the Colorado Department of Transportation are installing new crosswalk signals that use flashing lights to alert motorists that someone is crossing.

The new crossing signals are called Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons, or RRFBs. Pedestrians push a button

at an intersection and activate flashing lights similar to those found on emergency vehicles.

The lights make it more apparent that a pedestrian is crossing.

Vehicles must yield to pedestrians in all marked crosswalks regardless of whether an RRFB is in use.

When pedestrians push the buttons to activate the new lights, they still should wait for traffic to stop and not assume all cars are going to yield.

The city is installing the new crosswalk signals at Amethyst Drive and East Maple

Campaign spending lopsided Scott Franz

Steamboat Today

Steamboat Springs

The latest campaign finance reports filed by Routt County candidates reveal the biggest spenders heading into Election Day claimed victory in every race.

But in the case of the Routt County commissioner’s race, the vote gap was a lot closer than the spending gap.

The latest filings available show that through Oct. 26, Republican Cari Hermacinski, the apparent winner in the commissioner’s race, raised and spent nearly three times the amount of money her Democratic opponent, Steve Ivancie, did.

Hermacinski received 89

ELECTION2014 For more, visit SteamboatToday.com/election

more votes than Ivancie out of 10,125 cast.

The race’s outcome isn’t 100 percent certain because 121 votes — 107 of them with correctable signature issues — and 14 others held back to protect the identity of the other 107 were not counted Tuesday night and may not finally be tallied until Wednesday.

Hermacinski reported raising $37,970 and spending $39,429 while Ivancie raised $13,710 and spent $13,449 in the same time period.

Fundraising totals in the House District 26 race also were lopsided.

Campaign spending by the numbers County commissioner ■ Cari Hermacinski (apparent winner): $39,429 ■ Steve Ivancie: $13,449 House District 26 ■ Diane Mitsch Bush (winner): $41,596 ■ Chuck McConnell: $25,600 Treasurer ■ Brita Horn (winner): $9,144 ■ Nikki Knoebel: $8,717 Coroner ■ Rob Ryg (winner): $2,300 ■ Darrel Levingston: $0 Totals through late October.

Democratic state Rep. Diane Mitsch Bush, who cruised to re-election, raised $59,707 through Oct. 22 while Republican challenger Chuck McConnell raised $27,835 in the same time period.

Mitsch Bush spent $41,596 while McConnell spent $25,600.

In the race for county treasurer, Republican victor Brita Horn raised $13,120 and spent $9,144 through Oct. 26 while challenger Nikki Knoebel raised $9,090 and spent $8,717.

In the coroner’s race, incumbent winner Rob Ryg, a Republican, raised $2,300 and spent $1,899 while challenger Darrel Levingston reported no campaign fundraising or spending.

Final campaign finance reports that will include spending and fundraising totals through Election Day are expected early next month.

Get to know food producer Meyer continued from 3 online at the Community Ag Marketplace at www. communityagalliance.org.

This website, formerly the Yampa Valley Co-op, also features local food and products. There is a weekly order cycle with no minimum order required. You can shop anytime from Monday through noon Thursday. If you place an order, pick-up is every Friday between noon and 5 p.m. at Community Agriculture Alliance offices at Ninth and Oak streets in downtown Steamboat.

Now on to the why.

When you spend a dollar locally, it multiplies. Locally owned businesses tend to do business with other locally owned businesses. They bank locally, advertise in local newspapers and purchase local services such as accounting and printing. They hire local employees and pay local taxes. Each time a dollar is re-spent in the local economy, it’s like new income — creating a “multiplier effect” — rather than this money “leaking out” of our community.

Local producers/owners are local contributors. These are the businesses and products that give back to our local nonprofits not only financially but with in-kind donations and their volunteer time. They support our schools, sports teams and countless other organizations.

They serve as volunteers and attend our many community events.

Other reasons include: ■ Maintain uniqueness.

Our local businesses/products are an integral part of what makes the valley unique. It adds that special something extra and helps define who we are as a community, from Sailor Granola to Bear Fat Soap and grass-fed beef to beetle-kill furniture.

■ Know your producer/ farmer/business owner. Talk directly with the person making, baking, growing and creating the product you are purchasing. Ask them questions, develop a relationship and learn what makes their product special. If you have a problem or question, they will fix it and stand behind their products.

■ Reduced environmental impact. When products are made/grown here, transportation costs are reduced — a win-win for both economic and environmental impact.

■ A wide range of unique, affordable products. You’ll be surprised at the diversity of local products and dispel the myth that they cost more.

For more information, call Community Agriculture Alliance at 970-879-4370 or visit www.communityagalliance. org. If you are interested in learning more about CAA, join us at our annual meeting at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Routt County Courthouse BCC Room.

Jones: Perkinses decline to accept reward

Beacons still relatively new Crosswalks continued from 3 The enhanced crosswalks cost about $10,000 each, according to city staff engineer Matt Eggen.

The longer crossings that include an island and require more signage cost about $13,000.

Funding for the signals comes from a combination of accommodations tax money dedicated to trail enhancements and the city’s capital improvement budget.

Eggen said RRFBs are a relatively new technology.

The signals have been adopted in other cities across the state.

According to two studies conducted in Florida, the use of the enhanced crossings signals greatly improved the number of motorists who correctly yielded to pedestrians at crosswalks.

Enhanced crosswalk tips from the city Bicyclists: Bicyclists are reminded that they are legally considered a vehicle, even if riding along the Yampa River Core Trail. Vehicles are required to stop and yield at intersections similar to the operation of motorists at a typical intersection. The presence of a crosswalk and the actuation of an Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon does not give bicyclists right of way over motorists unless the bicyclist has dismounted and legally become a pedestrian. As a vehicle, bicyclists are required by law to yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk.

Bicyclists approaching any striped crosswalk including actuated RRFB are required by law to stop for pedestrians.

Pedestrians: Continue to approach all crossings with caution and do not assume all vehicles are going to yield.

Try to make eye contact with the driver of a vehicle prior to stepping into the crosswalk. Parents, relay to your children the importance of “crossing defensively.”

Vehicles: The crosswalk modifications do not change the legal obligations of vehicles to stop for pedestrians at marked crosswalks. Vehicles must stop behind any yield bar markings at intersections when pedestrians are crossing.

could pick up Dolly’s tracks in the fresh snow.

They rode for four hours without any luck.

“We were so far in, we were about to give up,” Briana recalled. “I said, ‘Let’s try this one last thing.’ The horse Sean was on always has a lot to say when he’s by himself. I told Sean to go ahead, so he rode up the hill, and when he disappeared, Jazz whined. Then we heard another whining over the ridge.”

They had found Charlie’s horse. With Sean astride Jazz, Dolly was no longer skittish and her rescue was complete.

“I took that bit out of her mouth, and it was a little bit more comfortable for her,” Briana said.

Dolly freaked out a little bit when the Perkinses first attempted to load her into their horse trailer, but before long, it seemed that she understood that her salvation was at hand.

“You couldn’t make two people like Briana and I any happier,” Sean said.

Charlie tried to make Briana and Sean happier, but they declined a reward.

“They’re great people,” he said. “I tried to give them compensation, but they wouldn’t take it. They took us in and let us sleep in their bunkhouse and kept the horse for a week. Their generosity was way beyond what I could express my gratitude for.”

Charlie reports that Dolly is doing well now, but Sean said Jazz pines for Dolly.

“Jazz is quite the ladies’ man,” he said. “He always has a mare with him in the pasture. I know they’ll get right back together when Dolly returns next fall.”

and could not have known that his fortunes were about to take a painful turn. The typically mildmannered Dolly would uncharacteristically spook and unseat her rider.

“She jumped across the creek, and something spooked the horse, and she just went off,” Charlie Jones recalled. “I raised her from a baby, and she’d never done anything like that before.”

Robert broke several ribs in the tumble, necessitating a Flight for Life out of the backcountry.

Charlie’s first concern was for his brother. However, before he hurried back to the Front Range to look after Robert (he is recovering and in good shape at this writing), he contacted a new friend he had met when their trails crossed during their daily hunts to let him know about the missing horse. That friend is Sean Perkins, who also guides for Steamboat Lake Outfitters and was with clients who were bow hunting that week.

“Sean was really friendly, and we just kind of hit it off and became friends just like that,” Charlie said.

The Perkinses operate Saddle Mountain Ranch just west of Steamboat, and it had become apparent to Sean that Charlie had a way with horses and mules, too.

“He has mules that he packs with,” Sean said. “They aren’t tied up, they just follow him through the woods. When he whistles, they come like dogs do.”

The Perkinses launched one initial outing just to look for Dolly, but they couldn’t find anybody in the area who even

had glimpsed her. When the mare ran off, she was saddled with a rifle scabbard attached to the saddle and a bit in her mouth. To make matters worse, her lead rope was fastened tightly to the saddle and almost certainly would have restricted her ability to lower her neck to graze or get a drink of water.

“She probably had to stay in high grass or go down to her knees” to drink from a creek, Sean said.

Charlie returned to Routt County and searched for his horse for three long days without success. Still, he tried to remain optimistic that Dolly eventually would be found alive. A hunter from Wisconsin reported seeing her, and Charlie assumed she would turn up at a ranch on the Elk River Valley seeking the company of other horses. He distributed posters all across the valley and even at the Steamboat Springs public library.

“Charlie was super, super worried about her well-being,” Briana said.

Charlie admitted that doubt was creeping into his mind.

“I thought she could have fallen and a bear got her,” he said. “It kind of puts a chill into you to think something like that would happen.”

There had been a report of a hunter on foot spying Dolly during the last week of the second rifle hunting season, but when he tried to approach her, she ran off again. Finally, after a snowstorm blew through the Park Range in late October, the Perkinses decided to trailer their own mounts (Briana rode a female mule) and make another determined push to see if they

Commentary

Always look on the bright side Gail Collins

New York Times News Service

Our topic for today is: looking on the post-election bright side.

The polling places hadn’t even opened before the Senate’s right-wing firebrand, Ted Cruz, was demanding that the majority-leader in-waiting, Mitch McConnell, take a hard line against President Barack Obama or risk losing his new job. Cruz is from Texas, and he wants to re-create the Alamo, if Collins you can imagine Obamacare in disguise as the Mexican army.

Think of that as a plus. The one thing McConnell and his supporters dislike more than the Democratic agenda is Ted Cruz. It could be an important bonding opportunity.

Obama has never spent much time with the Republican leadership, but now you can sort of imagine them sitting around, sipping drinks and making fun of what Cruz said on Fox News.

Another potential downer: Republicans have fewer veteran women in the Senate, so when they take over, there will be fewer women running impor-

tant committees. But, on the plus side, the overall number of women in Congress will rise, albeit at a rate that would get us to equal representation sometime around 2078. Once all the votes are counted, said Debbie Walsh, the director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University, the percentage of women in the House and Senate, now 18.2 percent, will, at best, go up to “maybe 19.3” percent.

“We’re calling it Not a Landmark Year,” Walsh said.

This could be a useful exercise in living with lowered expectations.

Washington might actually want to embrace “Not a Landmark Year” as a slogan. If Cruz tries to get the House Republicans to run the country off a fiscal cliff, the moderates could start chanting: “NALY! NALY!” Let’s try one more positive interpretation of what the election has wrought: There’s a school of thought that think Tuesday was actually a great day for reproductive rights. Let me take you through it.

The front lines of the anti-abortion movement belong to the “personhood” people, who strive to give constitutional rights and protections to the “preborn” from the moment of

conception. When Americans are confronted with this idea, they quickly come to hate it. Personhood amendments have been defeated wherever they pop up, including Mississippi.

This year, one was rejected in Colorado for the third time, by about 65 percent to 35 percent. A personhood amendment lost in North Dakota, 64 percent to 36 percent. In addition, the state senator who was its major sponsor lost her re-election bid, as did one of the measure’s more outspoken House supporters.

We are only mentioning those last details because the number of state legislators who are defeated for reelection in this country is about as low as the number of state legislators who are endowed with the power of levitation.

This year, not only were the personhood proposals rejected, candidates who had previously supported the movement started madly backing away. The most famous example was in Colorado, where Rep. Cory Gardner, the Republican Senate candidate, suddenly realized a state personhood amendment was a “bad idea.”

In a move that left debate questioners See Collins, page 9

Tribune Content Agency

Having missed a July deadline for reaching an agreement with Iran about its nuclear program, the six world powers party to the talks — the United States, Russia, China, France, United Kingdom and Germany — have set November 24 as their new deadline. Iran says there will be no extension if a deal isn’t reached.

Given the Obama administration’s horriThomas ble record in the Middle East — treating Israel as an enemy and Islamic dictatorships as potential friends — things don’t look good for an agreement that will curtail or reverse Iran’s pursuit of a nuclear weapon.

An indication of what the Obama administration hopes to achieve in these talks came from Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes. In remarks to a liberal group last January obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, Rhodes said: “Bottom line is, this is the best opportunity we’ve had to resolve the Iranian issue diplomatically, certainly since President Obama came to office, and probably since the

beginning of the Iraq war. ... This is probably the biggest thing President Obama will do in his second term on foreign policy. This is health care for us, just to put it in context.”

Burnishing a president’s legacy is not a sufficient reason to trade away American and Israeli security. That would leave a legacy of the type Neville Chamberlain left at Munich in 1938 after the “peace” he negotiated with Adolf Hitler.

Because of our secular diplomats’ refusal to believe the religious motivations of Iran’s leaders, the United States has placed itself at a disadvantage.

The latest, but by no means the only, example of this denial is found in the current issue of The Economist.

In a special report titled “The Revolution is Over,” the article says, “Iran has changed” and its “revolutionary fire has been extinguished.” In addition, “the traditional religious society that the mullahs dreamt of has receded” and “pragmatic centrists” are on the rise. Editor-in-Chief John Micklehwait, writing about the stalled Iran nuclear talks, adds, “...we believe the prospects of a deal — if not now, eventually — are improving.”

Come again?

This is part of the wishful thinking

that will allow Iran to produce and possibly use a nuclear weapon against Israel and threaten Europe and the United States.

The problem with the West’s attitude toward Iran is that it refuses to take seriously the messianic statements driving Iran’s foreign policy. One question Westerners cannot answer is this: Why would people who believe they have a direct command from their god to eradicate Israel and take down the West disobey that god and negotiate an agreement with “infidels” and especially a country they label “The Great Satan”? Did their god change his mind?

Some Muslim clerics claim the Koran gives them the right to lie to “infidels” in pursuit of their goals, so how do we know they are not lying when they claim their nuclear objectives are peaceful? If Iran’s intentions are truly peaceful, what’s to negotiate?

Time magazine has assembled some of the more incendiary comments by Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei. Time writes, “He calls America ‘the devil incarnate’ with plans for ‘evil domination of Iran.’ Negotiating with the United States, he said in 2009, would be ‘naive and perverted.’ He See Thomas, page 9

Ski & Sport Swap Anti-choice candidates forced to change

Negotiation is unrealistic Thomas continued from 8 warns that the west is plotting to ‘arouse sexual desires’ in Islamic Iran, because ‘if they spread unrestrained mixing of men and women ... there will no longer be any need for artillery and guns.’”

Last month, according to the Washington Free Beacon, “At least two former Irani-

an nuclear negotiators joined with Holocaust deniers, 9/11 truthers and anti-Semites from across the globe ... in Tehran for Iran’s second annual New Horizons conference, an anti-American hate fest that U.S. lawmakers say highlights the country’s dangerous duplicity.”

Tell me, how do you negotiate with that?

phone interview.

The question is what happens when people like Gardner get into office. McConnell promised that he’d bring up a bill in the Senate banning abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Would the repentant personhood backers go along? At the very least, they would appear to be obliged to add language vastly expanding women’s access to free birth control.

OK, it’s not an ideal compromise. But then it’s not a landmark year.

incredulous, Gardner insisted that a personhood bill he had co-sponsored in Congress would have no effect but was “simply a statement that I support life.”

Gardner also announced that he thought birth control pills should be available over the counter. He made a TV ad about it and sent out pink mailings.

Gardner’s turnaround was so swift and strange that the incumbent senator, Mark Udall, made it the center of his campaign. A Denver Post editorial claimed it was Udall’s “obnoxious” obsession. Now to me, obnoxious is a candidate who steals his opponent’s yard signs. Or who opposes abortions except for the one he pressured his mistress to get, like that guy

in Tennessee. But whatever.

Udall lost.

Planned Parenthood sent out a news release describing Colorado as an absolute triumph: “Voters have made clear that you can’t win statewide elections in Colorado by openly opposing women’s health and restricting access to safe and legal abortion.”

The theory here — and I am really going to go with it — is that the real story is not anti-choice Republicans weaseling around their political history, but voters of America forcing anti-choice candidates to change their positions.

“Cory Gardner ran aggressively as a supporter of women’s issues. It was sort of a miraculous conversion. We’ll be happy to hold him to it,” said Cecile Richards, the president of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, in a

n parts 1 and 2 of this series, I touched on the very early signs of the environmental impact on new puppies.

Temperament of the female during pregnancy and nurturing during the neonatal period can pre-empt the development of separation disorders. Lack of this care can compromise the behavioral development of the puppy.

Bringing that new puppy home transfers the responsibility to the new family. Structured, consistent routine and short confinement helps the pup to develop the coping skills needed to stay safely “home alone.”

The puppy is removed from his comfort zone when we

take him from mom and litter mates, and yes, this is a stressful time.

There is no way to prevent the stress and frustration the puppy feels. If he’s already been exposed to short periods of stress during that three- to eight-week period of development, then removing him from litter mates is easier on him if he has developed those coping skills.

Love, care and comfort will help the new puppy begin to bond with your family and start to feel safe. Seeing to his needs, supplying good-quality food and playtime and providing early, structured kennel crate time will help him to view his sleeping area as safe.

Introducing short periods of confinement (kennel crate time) while you are at home will help him to learn that time out doesn’t last forever. Using a kennel crate also lessens the amount of potty training mistakes in those first few months.

Start by leaving your puppy confined in his crate or “safe area” for several minutes. Be sure to leave him with something to chew, such as a sterile femur bone stuffed with canned dog food and placed in the freezer. This will keep your puppy busy for quite a while. Manage the amount of food-depending on his size and weight.

Be sure you take him outside to potty as soon as you come home. All toys and treats should be age-appropriate. Stuffed toys might get him in trouble if he starts unstuffing them while you are gone, so food dispensing toys and bones work much better and also help with teething.

It’s important to work up to long periods of confinement and alone time. How long depends on the age of the puppy, so planning ahead on how you will manage leaving your puppy at home is a must.

The fastest way to traumatize the puppy and set the stage for anxiety and separation distress is leaving him confined and alone for long periods of time. That will turn his kennel crate into a fearprovoking holding cell.

You can see the importance of how this new puppy starts his life and the care needed to successfully take him from his litter mates to his new home and how this can affect his early development. It will set the stage for either a confident, easy-going dog or a worried, traumatized basket case.

With the change of seasons in Steamboat Springs comes a change in trail conditions and the trails that users should be using. Many of the trails in town have become muddy due to recent snow, rain and the daily freeze thaw cycles that occur this time of year.

The city of Steamboat Springs Parks, Open Space and Recreational Services Department reminds all trail users of some basic trail etiquette: ■ Stay off of all wet and muddy trails to minimize damage. If mud is sticking to your shoes, tires or animals, then it is too muddy.

■ Use authorized trails only.

■ Stay on the existing singletrack of the trails. By walking on the sides of muddy trails, this creates trail widening, braiding and additional negative impacts.

Educate yourself and your friends. Friends don’t let friends use muddy trails.

The city has limited resources for trail maintenance, and by following basic trail etiquette, those resources can be stretched further because that funding does not have to be used to fix trails damaged by misuse.

Ferguson at 6:30 p.m. Monday in Library Hall. Ferguson is the author of the new book “The Carry Home: Lessons from the American Wilderness,” and his presentation is entitled “In Celebration of 50th Anniversary of the Wilderness Act: America’s Love Affair with Wild Nature.”

Rich with history, science and folklore, his talk will track the compelling, thoroughly surprising story of America’s relationship with wild places. Ferguson’s new book focuses on the role of wilderness in healing and what wilderness still offers today, illuminating everything from the scientific value of wilderness as a baseline in the face of climate change, to its effects on critical thinking and creative capacity, to the increasing recognition of wild landscapes for their surprising therapeutic value in treating addiction, depression and anger in at-risk teens.

Ferguson’s talk is part of Library Author Series event, and books will be available for sale and author signing. For more information about the free event, visit www.steamboatlibrary.org.

Grand County Judge Ben McClelland will be leaving office after Grand County voters ousted him, 3,222 to 2,841, during Tuesday’s election. This past summer, the 14th Judicial District Performance Commission recommended that the judge not be retained, and county voters followed their advice despite the fact that about two-thirds of judges recommended for nonretention are retained anyway.

A committee calling itself Grand County Deserves Better mounted a campaign against McClelland with billboards and ads calling for him to be voted out.

McClelland told the Sky-Hi Daily News in August that he was not permitted under the canon of professional ethics to campaign for himself.

The 14th Judicial District Nominating Commission will meet Dec. 19 at the Grand County Judicial Center to interview and select nominees for appointment by the governor to replace McClelland, according to the Colorado Judicial Department.

The vacancy will occur Jan. 13.

Director of CDOT to resign Monte Whaley THE DENVER POST

DENVER

Don Hunt, executive director of the Colorado Department of Transportation, is leaving his post as part of an agreement he made with newly re-elected Gov. John Hickenlooper.

Hunt, who was appointed by Hickenlooper to head CDOT in January 2011, said Thursday will stay on as head of the agency at least through the end of the year.

“I told the governor in late 2011 that there was no way I will be around for a second term, just so you know, “ Hunt said.

“I’ve probably told hundreds of people in the agency and in Colorado that I’m not a secondtermer.”

Hunt said he won’t walk out the door at CDOT until his successor is found. “I don’t plan to leave until we find the right person for Colorado,” Hunt said.

Hunt was appointed by Hickenlooper on Jan. 11, 2011. Hickenlooper was re-elected Tuesday for a second term.

Hickenlooper said Thursday that Hunt’s time in office was

highlighted by CDOT’s flood recovery efforts and innovations in transportation funding that speeded up road construction and maintenance.

“Don has set up CDOT for success and his successor has big shoes to fill,” Hickenlooper said.

“His leadership directed CDOT through one of the most challenging times in its history during the last year’s floods, and we as a state owe our gratitude to his extraordinary leadership and vision for this organization.”

Hunt, 63, oversees 3,300 employees statewide and a $1.2 billion budget. CDOT maintains, repairs and plows over 23,000 total lane miles of highway as well as 3,437 bridges.

CDOT crews also keep more than 35 mountain passes open year-round.

Under Hunt, CDOT reopened 27 roads in Colorado battered by historic September 2013 flooding weeks before a Dec. 1 deadline set by Hickenlooper.

Hunt also initiated new efforts to take on big road projects while under tight budgetary constraints.

The Responsible Acceleration of Maintenance and Part-

nership — or RAMP — calls for CDOT to fund multi-year projects based on year-of-expenditure, rather than saving for the full amount for a project before construction begins.

The RAMP program makes full use of public-private partnerships, which allow private firms to bid for building, maintaining and tolling new roads.

A prime example is the expansion of Interstate 25, which would allow a company to charge tolls in one from Colorado Highway 7 to Colorado 66, funding the addition of a third lane in both directions of I-25 between Fort Collins and Longmont.

Hunt’s tenure has been controversial.

He is proposing a $1.8 billion makeover of I-70 in northeast Denver that critics said is reckless. The plan calls for removing a decaying, 50-year-old viaduct between Brighton Boulevard and Colorado Boulevard and lowering the highway below grade.

CDOT also will add toll lanes between I-25 and Tower Road and place a 4-acre, landscaped cover over the highway

Students interrupt school board meeting Colleen Slevin

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GOLDEN

Jefferson County students upset about a possible plan to review their curriculum, including Advanced Placement U.S. history, again are using civil disobedience to make their point.

Security guards escorted about a dozen students out of the school board’s Thursday night meeting in suburban Denver after a number of maneuvers, including standing up and reading from their history textbooks aloud during the proceedings.

Some students who went to the podium to speak in place of other students whose names were called during public com-

ment period were removed, as was a woman who yelled from the audience in support. Another student was able to read a passage about Malcolm X, but after his allotted time at the podium was up, the microphone was turned off and he was removed.

After someone blew a whistle, about a dozen students stood and recited the Pledge of Allegiance. They then gathered in the hallway outside the meeting and chanted “We are the future, let us know our past” before squeezing into an elevator and leaving.

Tim Palese, a senior at Green Mountain High School who read the Malcolm X passage, said students wanted to show the importance of civil disobedience in the nation's history.

“We wanted to prove that they don’t listen,” he said about the school board.

Among their demands, the students want the repeal of a curriculum review committee approved by the board last month that could study AP U.S. history. The board expanded public involvement on the committee in the face of criticism over a proposal from board member Julie Williams to encourage patriotism and downplay civil disorder in the teaching of U.S. history.

That proposal led hundreds of students to walk out of class in the state’s second-largest school district.

Williams has said she wants to make sure the class is balanced.

Many get aid at Homeless Veterans Stand Down event Kieran Nicholson THE DENVER POST

DENVER

About 400 homeless veterans Thursday streamed into the Colorado National Guard Armory where they received a free meal, haircuts, clothes and access to an array of services.

Rick Caviness, 57, an Army veteran who served from 1974 to 1983, was flooded out of his Longmont apartment in September 2013.

He was among those who attended the 24th annual Homeless Veterans Stand Down, an annual event that takes place on the Thursday before Veterans Day. “This is a great event,” said Caviness, who currently is enrolled in a two-year Coalition for the Homeless program,.

He and three friends tapped the Stand Down program as a way to check out a variety of services and referrals offered, including medical, dental, employment, education, legal and housing.

Stacy Lowry and her husband, Troy, were evicted from their Aurora apartment last week.

Both 47, they’ve temporarily been staying with friends.

They’ve been working, but it’s spotty, through day labor pools.

Troy Lowry, who served in the Air Force, was hooking up with housing specialists inside the Armory as Stacy Lowry waited outside.

“It’s been a really rough week,” she said. “This (program) has been a big help for us today.”

Inside the Armory, rows of tables were set up where people sat down for a fried chicken lunch. Veterans Administration staffers, along with staff and volunteers from other organizations, huddled with individuals at additional tables.

As a barber ran an electric trimmer through a man’s hair Thursday, a stylist clipped a woman’s hair in a nearby chair.

About 10 percent of homeless veterans are women, said Rebecca Sawyer Smith, a Veterans Affairs spokeswoman.

According to a recent report, there are about 750 homeless veterans statewide in Colorado on any given night, with about 325 of those in Denver, Sawyer Smith said.

On Thursday, some veterans saw a dentist, some received flu shots, others were screened for illness. Clothing including winter gear and boots was given away.

“They get a little bit at a time,” Sawyer Smith said.

“We’ve done some good things.”

Warm Springs Rapid is infamous and loved by many.

Located in the deep canyons of Dinosaur National Monument on the Yampa River, Warm Springs Rapid is feared and loved, said Ben Saheb, chief multimedia specialist for Rig to Flip.

Rig to Flip has produced “Warm Springs,” a documentary about the Warm Springs Rapid, and it will show at 7:30 p.m. today at Schmiggity’s. The event is free, with proceeds from donations or contributions going to Friends of the Yampa, a major contributor to the film.

“The spirit of Warm Springs Rapid is here in our mountains,” Saheb said. “I can’t think about Warm Springs Rapid without thinking about powder days in Steamboat because they are one in the same.”

“That’s everything you skied on,” added Cody Perry, an outdoor educator at Colora-

do Mountain College and the film’s project director. “That’s every snowflake that hit your jacket throughout the winter.”

In June 1965, a massive landslide and debris flow washed through the river canyon and created the rapid. And 2 1/2 years ago, Perry and Saheb started working on the film to capture the essence of Warm Springs Rapid, an area that is a section of one of the last wild rivers in the West. The focus for the film solidified after part of a cliff caved into the rapid.

Ultimately, the two filmmakers wanted to investigate the rockfall but found with it a profound story that also uncovered themes of where the river conservation movement began.

“Warm Springs” explores the culture and story behind one of the West’s most infamous rapids. It weaves together historic river footage from the archives at the University of Utah and interviews from people who were there when the rapid first formed, people like George Wendt, president and founder of O.A.R.S., a nationally acclaimed rafting company.

Working with Friends of the Yampa, American Whitewater, American Rivers, University of Utah and O.A.R.S., Perry and Saheb found what they were looking for and then some.

“Not only did we discover stories from people who witnessed its formation, but we had the other story, too, about how the Yampa River had a place in defining the American experience of the outdoors,” Perry said. “We used the rapid as a lens.”

The rapid’s unique wildness attracts raft enthusiasts from all across the country.

“It’s not beholden to some flow regime that can be managed in some way,” Perry said.

“People come to raft it because the river is wild and some years it can be huge and unprecedented. They want to experience a river being a river, behaving the way it naturally does.”

The filmmakers hope this film helps future generations grasp the history, life lessons and experiences made possible by taking a trip on this particular stretch of river.

“When you go rafting, nothing else matters in the world other than your floating village, and that tells you a lot about the community aspect of it and a sense of place that comes with the experience,” Saheb said. “You have this internal drive to do better and support those around you. Kids and adults learn invaluable lessons when rafting that can’t be taught anywhere else.”

Although the film premiered in Moab, Utah, and Flagstaff, Arizona, on Saturday, the showing in Steamboat will include historic footage and interviews not seen at the other events.

Students and faculty at Colorado Mountain College’s Alpine Campus in Steamboat Springs were tasked with a challenge to look at life in Routt County through a new perspective.

With a limited 6-inch-by-6-inch format, they had to find meaning and expression within confined spaces using a variety of media to depict a place that resonated with each individual.

“Sometimes limitations can really expose creativity,” said Cynthia Zyzda, associate professor of art and humanities at CMC. “The featured pieces have this quiet quality to them that allow you to see all those small things. It sucks you in because you have to study and look closely at each piece.”

This month’s exhibit at the Depot Art Center features the CMC students’ and faculty’s artwork, which focuses on their connection to various places throughout Routt County.

“The featured work really captured the sense of place that we as students focused on,” said Chris Lightner, a student at CMC who will have work in an art exhibit for the first time.

For the First Friday Artwalk, the pieces will be on display from 5 to 8 p.m. today with light refreshments served. There also will be an additional educational art talk at 5 p.m. Tuesday at the Depot.

Faculty wanted students to become more connected to Routt County, so they hosted trips to Echo Park, Spring Creek and Elk Stone Farm. The creators of this exhibit were to choose one place in the area for their piece.

Initially, the drawings were any size the student wanted, but eventually they were scaled down to the 6-inch-by-6-inch format.

“This project got many of the students looking at things in a different way,” Zyzda said. “It changed their perception of what their initial intent or idea for the drawing was.

They had to modify and adjust.”

Zyzda said the cohesive exhibit offers a new

Afroman invited to Steamboat Springs

CMC freshman reaches out to rapper Audrey Dwyer

Explore Steamboat

Steamboat Springs

Colorado Mountain College freshman and Minneapolis native Samuel Keller’s determination to see Afroman live will finally come to fruition Monday.

Listening to Afroman’s music since middle school, Keller decided to look up the booking manager on Afroman’s website.

Primarily, musicians are invited to perform at shows through professionals who contact the booking manager, but Keller managed to get the musician here merely on his

own accord.

“Our motive was to get someone like Afroman here and not have to drive anywhere to go see a show like Afroman his,” Keller said.

Keller has been living in Steamboat Springs for three months, and for this show, he reached out to Pat Waters and Kim Haggarty, who own Schmiggity’s, and they were willing to have the show at their local venue. Now they are trying to get the word out.

Wildhorse Stadium Cinemas

Disney’s animated story about a teenager befriending a health-care robot is a big, gorgeous adventure with wonderful voice performances, some dark undertones that give the story more depth, an uplifting message and more than a few laugh-out-loud moments.

Co-directed by Don Hall and Chris Williams, “Big Hero 6” is a fusion of traditional Disney animation, 3-D that’s about as good as 3-D gets (which means it’s still not really necessary) and just a touch of Japanese anime, as seen in the films of such masters as Hayao Miyazaki.

Some of the themes are too intense for the youngest of children, but for schoolage kids and for the parents and guardians who will be taking the children, “Big Hero 6” is a terrific adventure, a heartwarming tale of friendship and, yes, it sets the table quite nicely for more chapters to come. Hiro and his friends are the stuff of franchises.

What a beautiful and epic film is “Interstellar,” filled with great performances, tingling our senses with masterful special effects, daring to be openly sentimental, asking gigantic questions about the meaning of life and leaving us drained and grateful for the experience.

Christopher Nolan’s most ambitious work yet — and we’re talking about the architect of the “Dark Knight” trilogy — is clearly influenced by “2001: A Space Odyssey,” and it contains some of the most memorable, most breathtaking outer space scenes since Kubrick’s masterpiece, but there’s as much spirituality as science at play here.

Here is a Hollywood blockbuster about wormholes and the theory of relativity and black holes and extra dimensions, but its theme song could well be “All You Need Is Love.”

This is one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen — in terms of its visuals, and its overriding message about the powerful forces of the one thing we all know but can’t measure in scientific terms.

Love.

However, if you’re thinking that image always The Bock’s Office tells the whole Andy Bockelman story, the guy from “Nightcrawler” will have you thinking twice.

Lou Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a hard worker determined to do what it takes to make a living in Los Angeles. All he needs is an inkling of what kind of job he wants to pursue and for someone to give him a shot.

He finds what may be the perfect line of work for him in freelance video journalism, getting his foot in the door by picking up a camcorder and capturing footage of police at crime scenes and the victims there. His persistence in recording these investigations following violent crimes and accidents gets him in the good graces of a local television news director (Rene Russo) who encourages him to keep the material coming.

As he hires an assistant heartbeat away from Bill Pax(Riz Ahmed) and upgrades ton as his main competition, his technology, Lou becomes an old hand at being where a true player in the business, the action is to film the worst though he’s not the only one things you can imagine. to make a buck this To say Lou way, and only by I f y o u g o crosses the line of outdoing the compe- “Nightcrawler,” rated R what’s acceptable tition will he be able Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, journalistic behavto get to the top and Rene Russo, Riz Ahmed ior would be inacstay there. curate because and Bill Paxton No matter what it Rating: 4 out of 4 stars first he would have Running time: 117 mintakes. to recognize that It hasn’t been since utes there is a line, with “Donnie Darko” that no training or Now playing at Wildhorse we’ve seen Gyllenguidance to sugStadium Cinemas. haal go this far into gest otherwise or his shady side, gaunt and dead- tell him some of his tactics eyed as a Travis Bickle-type won’t fly.

Legislative races still undecided With final results of many Colorado legislative races up in the air Thursday, Republicans and Democrats anxiously were waiting to see which party would control the Senate and House.

Democrats have had the majority in both chambers the past two years, allowing them easily to pass many items on their wish-list, including civil unions and lower college tuition for children who grew up in Colorado but are in the country illegally. They’ve also been able to approve more controversial legislation, such as new gun restrictions and an overhaul of the state’s voting laws.

Democrats are optimis-

years, Democrats have controlled both chambers of the Legislature.

Democratic Senate President Morgan Carroll said Thursday that based on race tallies so far, the parties are tied, 17-17, in the chamber. She said power of the Senate could come down to the race in Thornton between Democrat Judy Solano and Republican Beth Humenik. Solano trailed Humenik by about 1,000 votes, but ballots still were being counted.

Carroll said races in Jefferson County were close enough to trigger mandatory recounts.

She said with provisional and overseas votes still to be counted, it’s possible that outcomes for some races won’t be known until Nov. 20, the deadline for election results to be certified.

Man arrested in wife’s death at park around colorado DENVER

A Colorado man was arrested Thursday on a first-degree murder charge two years after the death of his second wife in a fall that occurred as they celebrated their anniversary with a hike at Rocky Mountain National Park, authorities said.

Suspect Harold Henthorn was the only witness to the 2012 death of Toni Henthorn as she fell at least 40 feet on the north side of Deer Mountain, authorities said.

The coroner’s office ruled she either fell or was pushed down a cliff.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said it still was investigating the death of Henthorn’s first wife, 37-year-old Sandra Henthorn, who was crushed to death in 1995 when a car slipped off a jack while she and Harold Henthorn were changing a flat tire, The Denver Post reported.

If convicted, he could face a mandatory term of life in federal prison without the possibility of parole, as well as a fine of as much as $250,000.

Owners’ vote to keep a small mountain community a town GLENWOOD SPRINGS

Owners of a tiny collection of cabins high in the western Colorado mountains voted to keep the community an incorporated town, and some want to revive the area.

Carbonate occupies about 1 square mile in the Flat Tops mountain range at 11,000 feet above sea level. It was once a booming mining town and was the original Garfield County seat. The town, surrounded by the White River National Forest, can be reached only by snowmobile during winter months.

Most of the property own-

ers live in the nearby Glenwood Springs area and have cabins in Carbonate. A dozen of them petitioned a court for the election to see whether the other owners wanted to remain incorporated.

Don Sullivan, a Glenwood Springs real estate agent who is one of the Carbonate owners, wants to see the town revived.

Water supply abundant in northern Colorado reservoirs GREELEY

Northern Colorado cities, farmers and industries have plenty of water stored up this fall.

The Greeley Tribune reported Thursday that the ColoradoBig Thompson Project has the highest storage levels on record.

Colorado-Big Thompson supplies water to Boulder, Broomfield, Fort Collins, Greeley, Loveland, Lafayette, Longmont and Louisville. It also supplies northeastern Colorado farmers and smaller communities.

The project has 12 reservoirs including Granby, Carter and Horsetooth.

Officials of Northern Water, which manages the ColoradoBig Thompson project, said the abundance came from a wet spring and summer and from the 2013 flood.

Ex-deputy pleads not guilty to sexual assault charge VAIL

A former Eagle County sheriff’s deputy has pleaded not guilty to charges of sexually assaulting a Gypsum woman.

The Vail Daily reported that 42-year-old Timothy Joseph Hay entered his plea Wednesday.

His trial is scheduled for March 23. If convicted, he could be sentenced to four years to life in prison.

A woman told investigators she was driving Hay home after they had drinks at a bar Sept.

18 when he asked her to stop at a warehouse. Hay is accused of slamming her head to the ground and sexually assaulting her.

Hay joined the sheriff’s department in 2003. He was on the force but off duty at the time of the alleged assault.

Graffiti spray-painted on Colorado State Capitol DENVER

Ten people have been arrested after the Colorado State Capitol was spray-painted with graffiti, some of it referring to the Internet activist group Anonymous.

The vandalism occurred Wednesday during a demonstration at the Capitol in downtown Denver.

Police said most of the arrests were on charges of destruction of property. One person was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer, but no details were released.

tic they’ll have at least a oneseat majority in the House, but they’re relying on winning races that could come down to less than a couple of hundred votes.

“As we sit here today, we are very much poised to be able to hold the majority in the state House,” said Democratic House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, who is term-limited and won’t be returning in January.

Before Tuesday’s elections, Democrats had a 37-28 majority in that chamber.

Meanwhile, thousands of votes still uncounted Thursday in Adams County could determine control of the Senate.

Democrats currently have an 18-17 advantage there, and they’ve controlled the chamber for a decade. For eight of the past 10

State gun laws gain momentum Boehner warns Obama Rachel La Corte

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OLYMPIA, WASH.

Washington voters decisively backed expanded background checks for guns, a victory for advocates of stricter gun laws who said they will use the momentum from this win to pursue similar measures in other states.

With the passage of Initiative 594, Washington joins six other states and the District of Columbia with laws that require universal background checks for all sales and transfers of firearms, though it is the first to pass such a law through a citizen-driven initiative on the ballot.

Other states have varying laws on expansion beyond what federal law requires, including Oregon, which requires a background check for purchases at gun shows. An anti-expansion measure on Tuesday’s ballot failed in Washington state.

“If legislative bodies won’t act, the people will,” said Zach Silk, the campaign manager for Washington’s expansion measure. “We proved that. I think

that should give a lot of inspiration to these other states where they’ve tried legislative efforts and have run into reluctant officials.”

The Washington state measure received significant support from Everytown for Gun Safety, a group funded by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg that is already looking to replicate the initiative’s success.

John Feinblatt, the president of Everytown, said Wednesday that Washington state “is going to be a model for other states.”

Feinblatt said that Everytown is part of a coalition that is gathering signatures due next week for a measure, which, like with Washington’s “Initiative to the Legislature,” will start with Nevada’s Legislature and head to the 2016 ballot if lawmakers don’t act.

Arizona and Maine are among the states the group is eyeing for similar campaigns.

“We’ll continue to take these issues straight to the people where we can because we know they will side on public safety,” he said.

Andrew Arulanandam, a

spokesman for the National Rifle Association, said that his organization will fight these efforts.

The NRA and other opponents took the most issue with Washington state’s expansion language that requires checks for many gifts and loans that they said goes too far. The measure has exceptions for emergency gun transfers concerning personal safety, gifts between family members, antiques and loans for hunting.

“What they perceive as a victory today will end up being a liability to them,” Arulanandam said of the expansion initiative.

“People will realize that it does not make them safer. What they will find out is that innocent people are being prosecuted and punished for simple and legal acts. When voters in other states see what’s happening in Washington state, that’s going to spur them to oppose those measures.”

Local opponents of the measure said they are looking into a possible legal challenge and an online petition to overturn it has more than 15,000 signatures.

The NRA is also considering its options, Arulanandam said.

WASHINGTON

In a blunt post-election warning, House Speaker John Boehner cautioned President Barack Obama on Thursday against taking sweeping action on immigration without congressional approval, saying “when you play with matches you take the risk of burning yourself.”

“And he’s going to burn himself if he continues to go down this path,” the Ohio Republican said at his first news conference after elections in which Republicans captured control of the Senate that meets in January and emerged with their largest majority in the House in at least 70 years.

Obama has said he intends to reduce deportations of immigrants who are working yet living illegally in the United States.

Boehner made his comments one day before he and the other congressional leaders head to the White House for a lunch meeting with Obama. Even before the new Congress convenes, the outgoing one is scheduled to meet next week to wrap up business left over from the past two years.

Sketching an early agenda for 2015, Boehner said the Congress that convenes in January hopes to pass legislation approving construction of the longstalled Keystone XL pipeline planned to carry Canadian oil to the United States.

At the White House, spokesman Josh Ernest was equivocal about whether the president might sign a bill along those lines. “We’ll consider any sort of proposals that are passed by Congress, including a rider like this, that ... does seem to pretty directly contradict the posi-

tion that’s been adopted by this administration,” he said.

Boehner also mentioned bills to help create jobs and a measure to encourage businesses to hire veterans and several to attack the health care law piecemeal.

Boehner, just shy of his 65th birthday, won a 13th term from the voters in western Ohio on Tuesday. Despite widely publicized difficulties managing his fractious rank and file in the past four years, he is assured of a new term as speaker when Congress convenes in January.

This time, unlike the others, the man in charge of the Senate’s agenda will be a Republican. Sen. Mitch McConnell, the incoming majority leader, is from Kentucky, a state that neighbors Ohio.

Even before confronting Democrats and the White House, the two are likely to face a steady stream of management challenges from within as they pursue a GOP agenda.

Among them are a strong presence of tea party-backed lawmakers in both houses, softer-edged, conservative swingstate senators who will be on the ballot in 2016, and a group of presidential hopefuls that includes Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, Marco Rubio of Florida and Rand Paul from McConnell’s own state of Kentucky.

Boehner defended most of the newcomers to the ranks of House Republicans after he was asked about one who has said Hillary Rodham Clinton is the “antichrist” and another who said family members of victims of the Sandy Hook elementary shootings should get over the experience.

“When you look at the vast majority of the new members that are coming in here, they’re really solid members,” he said.

Extradition for man in killing, online photo case Steven Dubois And Phuong Le the Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore.

A man accused of killing his live-in girlfriend and posting photos of her lifeless body online will be returned to Washington state after he surrendered to an officer in neighboring Oregon and waived extradition.

David Kalac, 33, was arrested Wednesday night nearly 200 miles from the crime scene after a daylong manhunt.

He was being held on $2 million bail in Portland on a second-degree murder charge. He waived extradition Thursday and will be returned to Port Orchard, Washington, west of Seattle, sometime later Thursday or today, said Lt. Steve Alexander,

of the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office in Portland.

Kalac is accused of killing Amber Lynn Coplin, 30, after an argument in their Port Orchard apartment.

He then posted photographs of her bloody, bruised body and commented about the killing online, said Scott Wilson, a sheriff’s deputy in Kitsap Coun-

ty, Washington. The images appeared on 4chan, an online bulletin board where hundreds of private pictures of nude celebrities appeared earlier this year.

Kalac wrote about strangling the woman and his plan to be fatally shot by police. He posted the comments and photos anonymously, but authorities confirmed they were from him, Wilson said.

The Kitsap County prosecutor’s office didn’t know yet if Kalac has an attorney.

An autopsy was being conducted Thursday.

Kalac evaded police in Coplin’s stolen car until he emerged from a wooded area near Wilsonville, about 20 miles south of Portland, and turned himself in to a passing officer, authorities said.

Broncos’ Cool Pool depth at linebacker is tested yet again Arnie Stapleton

The Associated Press

ENGLEWOOD

Brandon Marshall and Steven Johnson were roommates at the East-West Shrine Game in 2011 before going their separate ways as unheralded linebackers trying to make it in the NFL. Johnson was reflecting this week on how he helped Marshall learn Denver’s defense on the scout team last year when Chris Harris Jr. walked past saying, “Next man up! Next man up!”

Johnson is expected to start Sunday at Oakland in place of Nate Irving (knee) in the Broncos’ base defense alongside Marshall, who’s been subbing for Danny Trevathan (leg).

“Shoot, I’ve been here three years now. I know the system and I’ve been champing at the bit for a long time,” said Johnson, who went undrafted out of Kansas, just like Harris. “If it’s time for me to go in there, I’m ready to take full advantage of it.”

Rookies Corey Nelson, who plays the nickel alongside Marshall, and Lamin Barrow also figure to get plenty of snaps after Irving tore his right MCL at New England last weekend and will be sidelined until next month.

Johnson has the most experience in Jack Del Rio’s defense and the most familiarity with Marshall, who makes the defensive calls.

“Me and B-Marsh last year were on scout team together, running the whole thing. So I already know how B-Marsh plays,” Johnson said.

Marshall joined the Broncos’ practice squad a year ago after the Jaguars released him. He peppered the versatile Johnson, who plays all three linebacker positions, with questions and by season’s end, Marshall had joined his old friend on Denver’s 53-man roster.

“He helped me learn the defense, he did,” Marshall said. “I do give him credit for that and I thank him for that. So, I’m a little more comfortable being around Steve, playing with Steve. Steve’s a good guy, he’ll get it done.”

Deals aplenty at Ski Swap Joel Reichenberger Steamboat Today

Steamboat Springs

The best advice for the annual Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club Ski Swap: Get there early.

That’s what you need to do to score the best possible deal for the swap, which returns to Steamboat Springs today ahead of another winter.

The event gives skiers and snowboarders a chance to sell their old gear, and it gives other winter warriors a chance to purchase that gear at a deep discount compared to buying new from a shop.

“There’s plenty of stuff for everyone,” said Eric Friese, the Winter Sports Club’s director of operations, “but the best selection is Friday night at the pre-sale.”

The event begins for shoppers tonight with that pre-sale, an early bird opportunity from 7

to 10 p.m. at Steamboat Springs Middle School. That costs $5.

The sale kicks into high gear starting at 8 a.m. Saturday, running until 2 p.m. Admission on Saturday is free.

Consignment can be checked in at the middle school from noon to 6:30 p.m. today. The Winter Sports Club mostly makes money on the $5 Friday night entry fee, plus a 35 percent cut it takes from sold items.

Friese said it’s not much of a funding model for the club, but making money isn’t so much the point.

“It’s not necessarily about fundraising. It’s more a community event thing for us,” he said. “We want to give our athletes and the members of the community the chance to have access to affordable equipment.”

Shoppers can expect all manner of winter sports gear, from racing skis to snowshoes, snowboards to jackets and accessories.

If you go What: Winter Sports Club’s Ski and Sport Swap When: 7 to 10 p.m. today for presale; 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday Where: Steamboat Springs Middle School, 5100 Amethyst Drive Cost: $5 for Friday pre-sale, free on Saturday

Experts said there are great deals to be had but that astute buyers should keep aware of several things. For one, it can be tough to buy ski boots used.

New ski boots mold to a user’s feet, and they may never fit someone else quite as well.

Ski technology advances significantly year to year, so that’s something to consider when buying something several seasons old.

Finally, scuffs on the top of skis or snowboards are no big deal, but check the bottoms for more serious gouges and scan the edges for evidence of any

“It’s not necessarily about fundraising. It’s more a community event thing for us. We want to give our athletes and the members of the community the chance to have access to affordable equipment.”

previous run-ins with rocks.

All that considered, there still should be deals to be had.

“I had a friend who was here buying tags, and he’s putting in a great pair of big mountain skis,” Friese said. “He skied them five times and has another pair, so he’s selling them. Now someone else will get to pick them up and love them. They were just sitting in the closet, so it’s great they’ll get to find a new home.”

This is remarkable living!

As trying as the first half of Derek Carr’s first NFL season has been with no wins, rookie mistakes and the challenge of adjusting to the pro game, he can take some comfort when he looks across the field Sunday.

Because as rough as these first eight games have been for Carr, Peyton Manning had it almost as bad when he made his debut 16 years ago.

Instead of being discouraged by a 3-13 season and 28 interceptions, Manning learned from it and became the Super Bowl winning and record-setting quarterback that he is today.

“Experience was my best teacher,” Manning said. “There’s no question that I learned a lot of things that I would not have learned if I wasn’t in there playing. Learn from the good things and of course you’ve got to learn from the mistakes as well. But, I do think that being in there facing the live action is really the only way to learn how to play quarterback in this league.”

Carr will get another chance at it Sunday when he looks for

his first win when the Raiders (0-8) host Manning and the Denver Broncos (6-2).

Carr’s first eight games have slightly better than the start to Manning’s career despite the lack of team success. He completed a higher rate of passes (60.7 percent to 55.1), threw the same number of TD passes (11), has less than half of Manning’s interceptions (7 vs. 16) and has a superior passer rating (79.8 to 64.5).

The edge for Manning is that he won one of his first eight starts instead of going winless.

But Carr feels he has made progress and it’s only time until the wins come.

“A lot of people learn in different ways, but for me I need to be out there and I need to see it,” Carr said. “For me, it’s been great. I’m looking forward to getting some wins going on, going into the last half of the season.”

Carr, obviously, has a long way to go to reach Manning’s level. Manning has won a record five MVP awards, played in three Super Bowls, won one title and has a record 515 TD passes.

“I’m glad that I don’t play defense, because I don’t think I’d help us much if I did,” Carr said.

“But, it’s cool. It’s one of those things that early in the week, you’re like, ‘Wow, that’s pretty cool.’ But at this point, I’m trying to beat him.”

Class of ’98 This game features two of the three remaining players from the 1998 draft in Manning and Raiders safety Charles Woodson.

Manning was taken first overall

by Indianapolis that year, while Woodson went fourth to Oakland after beating out Manning for the Heisman Trophy. Sixteen years later, the two are still near the top of their games.

“He looks the same as when he got out of college,” Manning said.

One week after losing a showdown at New England, the Broncos could be forgiven if they let their guard down a bit against the winless Raiders.

“I don’t look at the record, I look at the film,” Manning said.

“I look at how we’re playing.

Your job each week is to study the opponent and also be sure you’re studying yourselves and seeing what you need to be doing to improve.”

Alex Tanguay scored in regulation and had the decisive goal in the shootout, lifting the Colorado Avalanche to a 4-3 victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night.

Matt Duchene also scored in regulation and the shootout for the Avalanche, which ended a three-game skid.

Colorado lost a late lead but made up for it in the shootout.

and Richard Panik also scored for the Maple Leafs, who got a scare when teammate Daniel Winnik hit his head on the ice 45 seconds into the game.

Winnik collided with Avalanche defenseman Jan Hejda near the Colorado blue line. He fell awkwardly on the right side of his head and flipped onto his front. He lay motionless while trainers from both teams secured him on a backboard and took him off the ice.

The team reported on Twitter that Winnik was “alert and moving all of his extremities” while being examined by the team doctor. The team said Winnik was not transported to the hospital

but he did not return.

Duchene gave Colorado a 3-2 lead with a wraparound goal at 11:45 of the third.

Toronto pulled goalie Jonathan Bernier with 1:29 left and Panik scored 16 seconds later to send it to overtime.

Bernier finished with 31 saves.

Winnik’s injury came immediately after Holden scored 31 seconds into the game to give the Avalanche an early lead for the second straight game.

Kessel tied it with his seventh of the season when he batted a puck out of the air and past Berra with 3:40 left in the period.

Bozak gave Toronto the lead when he scored a power-play goal at 4:43 of the second. Colorado had killed off 29 consecutive penalties before Bozak’s tally.

Vonn’s knee on mend; Miller’s back still aches THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Her right knee finally free of pain, Lindsey Vonn is actually considering moving up her return to racing.

In pain because of a bulging disk in his back, Bode Miller is simply trying to ski through it.

Two different tales to start the season for two of the biggest names in U.S. skiing.

Miller missed the season open-

ALPINE SKIING er in Soelden, Austria, last month because of his balky back, which he said has bothered him since tumbling at the World Cup Finals last season. Vonn hasn’t raced in nearly a year due to a torn ACL that’s required two surgeries and sidelined her for the Olympics.

“I feel really good,” Vonn told The Associated Press on Thursday after a training session at Copper Mountain. “I was expecting to

have some bumps along the way.

But I haven’t had any problems, no setbacks. It hasn’t gotten swollen.

Haven’t even felt it, no pain. I’m pretty excited where things are at.”

The four-time overall World Cup champion planned her return around the races in Lake Louise, Alberta, during the first week of December. After some solid training days, Vonn is actually considering coming back for the events in Aspen during Thanksgiving weekend.

Browns dominate Bengals by 21, move into 1st place CINCINNATI

Cornerback Joe Haden led a line of Browns players jumping to slap hands with joyous fans in the first row. The stadium was filled with the sound of woofing.

Felt like times from way, way back when.

And with a dominating performance, the Browns suggested they’ve finally made it all the way back.

The team that has been the AFC North’s bottom dweller for years climbed back into the top spot Thursday night. The Browns were all over Andy Dalton all night long, turning a first-place showdown into a shockingly onesided 24-3 victory.

With every interception and every sack, the Browns showed they’re for real.

“This is a little different Browns team than the rest of the league is used to seeing,” said Haden, who shadowed A.J. Green all over the field and shut him down again.

Cleveland (6-3) improved on its best start in 20 years and moved into a first-place tie with Pittsburgh. The Browns also snapped their streak of 17 straight losses to division opponents on the road.

The last win? Also in Cincinnati, a 20-12 victory Sept. 28, 2008.

“A huge boost for our guys,”

nfl coach Mike Pettine said. “Just look at the streaks we ended. Not many people gave us a chance.”

Just like the Browns, the Bengals (5-3-1) were trying to break away from some bad franchise history. They’ve played some of their worst games in prime time and wanted to show they were finally ready to hold up under the national attention.

Instead, they crumbled along with their quarterback. They also got drubbed, 43-17, during a Sunday night game in New England this season.

Cincinnati fell to 18-41 in prime time.

“It does confound me,” coach Marvin Lewis said. “For whatever reason, the two times (in prime time) this year, we didn’t play well.

Because we were at home, there was an energy and excitement instead of being steely-eyed and focusing on what we have to do.”

Oregon, ASU face big tests The Associated Press

The Pac-12’s division leaders, Oregon and Arizona State, can pad their playoff resumes with big wins this week in what figures to be the toughest test left for both teams.

Game of the week No. 8 Notre Dame at No. 11 Arizona State. So what if it’s a non-conference game? It’s one of the biggest in Arizona State’s history. The Sun Devils climbed to No. 9 in the College Football Playoff rankings and can make another major move up if they knock off Notre Dame, whose only loss came at undefeated Florida State. The Fighting Irish outlasted Arizona State, 37-34, last year in Arlington, Texas.

The Sun Devils are playing the best they have defensively under third-year coach Todd Graham, and they’ll need to be in top form to slow down quarterback Everett Golson, who did not play in last season’s game.

college football Best matchup No. 5 Oregon at No. 20 Utah.

The Ducks solved their Stanford problem last week, crushing the two-time defending Pac12 champion Cardinal, 45-16, in Eugene. Oregon, which moved into the fourth spot in the playoff standings, can clinch the North Division and claim a spot in the conference championship game with a win at raucous Rice-Eccles Stadium. The Ducks found success against physical defenses like Michigan State and Stanford, and the Utes present a similar challenge. Utah’s offense has been no slouch, either, averaging 33.4 points while alternating between Travis Wilson and Kendal Thompson at quarterback.

Inside the numbers Oregon State’s Sean Mannion (12,454) eclipsed Southern California’s Matt Bark-

ley (12,327) for the most yards passing in Pac-12 history last week. The next mark in Mannion’s sights is Barkley’s conference record for total offense.

Barkley ended his career with 12,214 yards, while Mannion is at 11,755 yards. ... Utah’s Travis Wilson is the only quarterback in the Football Bowl Subdivision to attempt at least 150 passes without an interception this season. He’s completed 93 of 165 passes for 1,084 yards and 9 TDs.

Impact player

Washington’s two-way star Shaq Thompson rushed for 174 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries in a win at Colorado. The converted linebacker, who has scored four defensive touchdowns this season, is also a defensive player of the year candidate. The Huskies host UCLA this week. The Bruins feature another two-way talent in linebacker and running back Myles Jack.

El Salvador’s gangs Germany after Berlin Wall target women, girls Kirsten Grieshaber The Associated Press

Alberto Arce

The Associated Press

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador

In a country terrorized by gangsters, it is left to the dead to break the silence on sexual violence.

Rather, to the bodies of dead women and girls pulled from clandestine graves. Raped, battered and sometimes cut to pieces, they attest to the sadistic abuse committed by members of street gangs.

Those who gather statistics say there are no reliable numbers on sexual violence in El Salvador. Threats prevent many from reporting attacks. Others who have grown up amid abuse may not recognize rape as a crime. Still others flee the country rather than seek justice from a system that more often delivers impunity.

U.S. immigration attorneys say there has been a dramatic increase in the number of women and girls from Central America seeking asylum in the

United States after having been kidnapped and raped.

“We are seeing an exponential increase,” said Lindsay Toczylowski, a lawyer with Catholic Charities in Los Angeles. “It’s the evolution of gang warfare. ...

It’s what we see in other war situations around the world where rape is used as a weapon.”

El Salvador’s 6 million residents suffer the second highest per capita homicide rate in the world after neighboring Honduras. In a land of lakes and volcanos, clandestine graves appear like wild mushrooms after a rainstorm. In the evening, the cacophony of San Salvador traffic gives way to the squeals of wild parrots and, sometimes, to wails of grief.

Most of the violence is the handiwork of the Mara Salvatrucha and 18th Street gangs, which were formed by immigrants in the United States, then returned home and grew into warring forces of tens of thousands of gangsters.

DRESDEN, Germany

In the German city of Dresden, trumpet player Ludwig Guettler takes pride in the soaring spires of the Baroque Frauenkirche church, rebuilt from the ruins of World War II, and sees them as a symbol of his city’s vibrant economic and cultural life.

Some 275 miles away in Dortmund, Ilse-Margarete Bonke tries to save her decaying city from a drug scourge by picking up heroin needles from the streets, but finds her work impeded by kids who sneak up on her, pulling off her curly wig and spitting in her face.

The two cities have met contrasting fates since the crumbling of the Berlin Wall 25 years ago — with Dresden becoming a magnet for hightech firms and a cultural center, and Dortmund sinking into deep economic depression. What may be surprising about this picture is that Dres-

den is in the former communist east and Dortmund was once a symbol of the economic might of the capitalist west.

Overall, the west still remains more prosperous than the east: Unemployment is higher in the east, disposable incomes are lower and populations are older as the young move west for better opportunities. But the east has been catching up, and in some key cases there has been a reversal of fortunes. That is largely due to the still-mandatory “solidarity fees” instituted after reunification to help raise the former East Germany’s living standards — payments that are becoming increasingly controversial as swaths of western Germany fall into decline.

In Dresden, one of former East Germany’s biggest cities with about 530,000 inhabitants, the economy is humming and universities are attracting students, who often stay on after graduation to work in Dresden’s myriad research institutions and computer chip

producers. Unemployment is at 8 percent, compared to an average of 9 percent throughout all of the former East Germany; the city has been out of debt since 2006.

“Dresden is a prime example of a structural transformation done well,” Deputy Mayor Dirk Hilbert told The Associated Press.

Some 75,000 jobs, about a third of the city’s workforce, were eliminated after the communist system collapsed in 1989. But the city managed to persuade new employers like Volkswagen and international chip manufacturers to open plants in Dresden.

Since reunification, some 1.5 to 2 trillion euros were funneled into the former communist east to turn ailing collective farms and state-run factories into competitive capitalist businesses. The lion’s share of the money came from western Germany’s citizens, towns and states.

The millions in subsidies were important to the city’s revival, Hilbert said, but they weren’t everything.
