The Steamboat Springs School District has the funding to provide administrators and directors with 1 percent raises this year, Superintendent Shalee Cunningham told the School
Board on Monday night. The School Board is expected to decide whether to approve those raises during its Nov. 16 meeting. Cunningham told board members the district has excess revenue of $18,000 in its 2009-10 general fund. The administrator raises would cost about $12,000, a figure that includes the associated benefits costs. The district initially held off on providing the raises when drafting the 2009-10 budget because it wasn’t sure whether the funds would be available, Cunningham said. Board members asked Cun ningham to provide them examples of administrator and direc-
tor salaries and benefits from similar school districts in the state. Last summer, the district’s Collaborative Bargaining Team approved an agreement with the district that would provide eligible staff members with salary step increases — at a cost of $325,000 of the district’s $22 million general fund — but not a cost-of-living adjustment during the 2009-10 school year. Earlier this month, Cun ningham said the staff members who were not eligible for step increases because they were already at the top of the salary schedule were provided 1 percent raises.

The Northwest Colorado Board of Cooperative Edu cational Services will present its board a revised 2009-10 budget and reduced assessments tonight in Steamboat Springs. District superintendents have requested a revised budget and reduced assessments since shortly after BOCES revealed in September that it had overspent its 2008-09 budget by nearly $317,000 and increased assess ments this year by more than $481,000. BOCES initially had asked its six districts to pick up the tab. BOCES Executive Director Jane Toothaker said the agency would propose using American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding to make up last year’s overspending. She said the fed eral stimulus funding combined with budget cuts would help reduce this year’s assessments. Also tonight, as part of the assessments presentation, BOCES will tell its board the amount of federal funding it owes each district. BOCES is a cooperative agen cy that provides state-mandated special education services to its member districts, East Grand, Hayden, North Park, South Routt, Steamboat and West

Grand. It also provides other edu cation-related services and pro vides some services to the Meek er, Moffat County and Rangely school districts. Toothaker reiterated Tuesday that last year’s overspending and this year’s increased assessments occurred because BOCES hadn’t properly assessed districts for services in past years. She said overspending and her receipt of incomplete financial informa tion from the previous BOCES finance director also were fac tors. BOCES recently hired a new finance director. “There wasn’t anything fraud ulent done,” Toothaker said. Toothaker said the BOCES board has asked that question, and she said it has received the same answer from her and the independent auditor reviewing BOCES’ financials. At Monday night’s Steamboat Springs School Board meeting, Superintendent Shalee Cun ningham told board members that BOCES also was in the midst of a Colorado Department of Education audit of federal fund ing. BOCES owes the districts $777,000 in federal funding for special education and other pro
grams from 2008-09. Department of Education officials met with Toothaker on Oct. 16 to review BOCES’ finan cial information from the past three years. She’s still awaiting a response from the department, but Toothaker said she expects it to include recommendations about what BOCES needs to improve upon. Toothaker said proposed BOCES budget amendments were: cutting staff health insur ance benefits (including vision coverage), reducing mileage reimbursement from 54 cents to 40 cents, not replacing a staff member who resigned, accepting requests for decreased time from staff members, eliminating pro fessional development, reducing the materials budget by 50 per cent, and reducing all contingen cies and reserves. Cunningham told the School Board on Monday that district superintendents have met and proposed initiatives to prevent these problems in the future. Those included superintendents’ reviewing BOCES’ monthly financial reports, which they haven’t done in the past. She said another measure would entail Steamboat’s provid ing many of the services it receives from BOCES. Cunningham said Steamboat would submit a list See BOCES, page 25

Do you have something to say about a story we’ve written?
A call to action
R
outt County voters have less than a week to cast their ballots and turn around what have thus far been decidedly disappointing voter turnout numbers. We urge each registered voter to help determine the future of his or her at issue community by learning about the candidates Voter turnout and turning in a completed mail-in ballot. our view As of Tuesday afterAll Routt noon, only 2,109 of the County 13,457 ballots mailed to Routt County registered registered voters had been comvoters need pleted, returned and to fill out and verified by election offireturn their cials. Almost as many ballots. ballots — 1,659 — have been returned to the county as undeliverable by the U.S. Postal Service. With two-thirds of the election cycle complete, voter turnout stands at a paltry 15.6 percent. Routt County Clerk and Recorder Kay Weinland hopes for 60 percent turnout, which would be high for an odd-year election. Voter turnout was 51 percent in 2003, 56 percent in 2005 and 57 percent in 2007. Those ballots — particularly the 2007 ballot — were buoyed by a number of state issues and local tax questions. That isn’t the case this year, but it shouldn’t deter voters from making the minimal effort of filling out and turning
in their ballots. In fact, one could make the very rational argument that few elections impact the everyday lives of residents like those involving local city councils and school boards. This fall, Steamboat Springs voters will elect four City Council and two School Board members. Hayden voters are deciding whether to approve two new taxes to raise money for town coffers, and Hayden School District voters will elect four School Board members — two from contested races and two from uncontested races. There are no elections in South Routt County this fall. Considering some of the major issues facing our communities — growth and the economy being the two biggest — it’s hard to imagine why registered voters wouldn’t want to make their voices heard. We hoped the county’s first mail-only ballot would make it more convenient than ever for voters to cast their ballots. Given the low turnout thus far, maybe the new process is too convenient. It’s easy to imagine thousands of ballots sitting unopened on kitchen counters and dining room tables across the county, mixed in with the stack of other mail and magazines that accumulate in our homes each week. Weinland says it’s just human nature for voters to wait until the last minute. We hope she’s right. Mother Nature and U.S. Highway 40 construction traffic in downtown
Steamboat aren’t exactly making it easy for folks to head to the Clerk and Recorder’s Office or post office to drop off their completed ballots. But again, they are no excuse for not practicing your democratic right to vote. In a final effort to urge you to fill out your ballot and send it in, we offer the following reminders: ■ If you haven’t received a ballot and think you should have, call the Routt County Elections Office at 970-870-5558. ■ Voters must sign the outside of their ballot return envelope in the allotted space. Returned ballots without a voter’s affirmation signature will not be counted. ■ Visit www.steamboatpilot.com/ election2009 for stories and videos about candidates and election issues. ■ There are five drop-off locations in Routt County for voters to submit their completed ballots: Routt County Clerk and Recorder’s Office, Yampa Town Hall, Oak Creek Town Hall, Hayden Town Hall and the Clark Store. ■ All ballots must be received by 7 p.m. Nov. 3. Voters should not mail their ballots after Thursday. ■ Voters who have any questions about the mail-in ballot process should call the Elections Office at 870-5558. ■ Electronic voting is available for disabled voters, or any voter who chooses to vote electronically, at the Elections Office on the third floor of the Routt County Courthouse.

Ben & Jerry’s closes Manager: Bad location, bad economy Mike Lawrence
PILOT & TODAY STAFF
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS
The local Ben & Jerry’s ice cream store has closed its doors in Wildhorse Marketplace. Manager Elizabeth Robinson said the store’s last day in business was Sunday. Kerry Shea, property manager for Wildhorse Marketplace, said the closure is pending completion of lease negotiations, which are under way. “We are in current discussions with the owner, with respect to the business,” Shea said Monday. “They’re currently under lease obligation.” But for all intents and purposes, the ice cream shop has scooped its last sundae. “Bad location, bad economy,” Robinson said about the closure, citing a lack of walkin traffic and slipping sales. She became manager about six months ago. “It’s sad for me because I really enjoyed this job. It was very hard to lay off all my kids.” Robinson said the local Ben & Jerry’s employed five high school students, — her “kids” — some of whom were working their first jobs. But the store
“didn’t get much support from the locals,” Robinson said, making it hard to survive year-round on summer tourism dollars. Shea said there are three other vacancies — out of 17 commercial units, at current build-out — at Wildhorse Marketplace. The plaza at Mount Werner Road and Central Park Drive also houses Wildhorse Stadium Cinemas. Wildhorse Marketplace focuses on food and beverage, entertainment and specialty or boutique retailers, Shea said. He said he was open to proposals for the Ben & Jerry’s location, should the closure be finalized. “We’re keeping our options open,” he said. “If things aren’t resolved, we need to make sure we keep the health and vitality of the center at the forefront.” Across the way from Ben & Jerry’s, local Quizno’s Sub owner Tim Cooper worked through a busy lunch hour Monday. Although he said his business has been “80 percent off” peak numbers for the past two months, he said he’s in no danger of closing his store and expects business to pick up after the shoulder season.

Survey Shows Businesses Have Felt Economy’s Impact Join the Chamber
The Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association’s 2009 Membership Survey Results conclusively tell two stories. It is evident that Chamber member businesses have felt an impact from the current economic climate and are turning to the Chamber more for networking, marketing and governmental advocacy. Also standing out from this year’s survey is that some of the important issues members are facing have changed. “The most important part about the membership survey is that the Chamber is able to receive honest, anonymous feedback about whether we are meeting member needs,” said Eric Friese, membership sales manager at the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association. “This survey is the best tool for us to understand our members’ desires, wishes and concerns. We look forward to using these comments as a compass in 2010 as we build partnerships and continue advocacy efforts.” This year’s Chamber Membership Survey had a nearly 20 percent response rate from members, up from 15 percent in 2008. Businesses “gave their two cents” about issues that affect local businesses, helped to identify issues that are most important and gave honest comments about what benefits are most valuable to more than 850 local member businesses. From the survey results, it is clear that 2009 was a difficult year for business. Sixty-four percent of businesses who responded said business declined. However, 36 percent said that business improved or remained the same.

“When I reviewed the survey results for 2009, the membership confirmed that, not surprisingly, it was a tough year for business,” said Bob Larson, manager at Sundance at Fishcreek and 2009-10 Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association Board president. “However, when it comes to the Chamber and what it does for our membership and the community at large, our members see a lot of value in the professionalism and knowledge of the staff and the opportunities they create for businesses in our community.” Here is a brief overview of what was compiled from this year’s survey.
Most important issues One of the most valuable and interactive questions in the 2009 Membership Survey is, “What are the most important issues that you feel the Chamber should address over the next five years?” There were changes in this top five list from the list generated in 2008, seeing a greater focus on tourism. ■ Top five most important issues for 2009 1. Winter air service — Continuing flights into YVRA 2. Summer events — Yearround tourism creating events 3. Summer marketing — Continued support of summer marketing programs 4. Transportation solutions — parking, U.S. Highway 40, regional transit, etc. 5. Triple Crown Sports/
tournament events — Bringing groups into Steamboat ■ Top five most important issues for 2008 1. Winter air service 2. Summer events 3. Health insurance 4. Affordable housing 5. Economic diversification What is notable from these lists is that community issues such as affordable housing, health insurance and economic diversification are not present in the top five issues for 2009. What has taken their place on this list are issues such as summer marketing, transportation and group sports tourism. What these results show is that businesses are looking more at their bottomline and economic influences.
Top member benefits “The membership survey is a critical tool that will help our membership department plan for 2010 programming,” said Meagan Coates, community development manager at the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association. “This survey gives us the opportunity to listen to our businesses and evaluate what we are doing.” An overwhelming portion of Chamber members feel that government advocacy is the top benefit they received from the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association. Seventy-six percent of businesses surveyed noted that this community advocacy was valuable. The Steamboat Chamber Web site, www.steamboatchamber.com, proved to be a valuable member benefit, too. Sixty-seven percent of respondents found that business listings on www.steamboatchamber.com were important to their business.

Educational forums (Business Outlook Breakfasts, etc.) 9. Chamber gift certificates 10. Event committees or sponsorships
Tourism and events What may come as no surprise is that Chamber members find value in summer tourism and summer events. Seventyone percent of respondents said that tourism is important or very important to their business. In fact, 79 percent of respondents selected summer events as one of the most
important issues the Chamber should address. Events such as Cowboys’ Roundup Days (Fourth of July, etc), Triple Crown Sports and Hot Air Balloon Rodeo drive tourism and are favorable for business. “The survey showed me that our members are very pleased with the quality of our new networking programs and the success of our summer and winter events,” Larson said. “What also came through loud and clear to me is the fact that our members want the Chamber to be a leader in facilitating a productive relationship with our local government so that we may work together on the important issues that face all of us; like summer marketing, air service and transportation solutions. Overall, the survey indicated to me that the Chamber is in a strong position going into 2010.” If you have any questions about the 2009 Membership Survey or about Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association membership, contact Eric Frieseeric@steamboatchamber.com or call 970-875-7004.

Poplar Street, closed since September for construction to widen it from two to three lanes and improve storm sewer drainage, was reopened Friday — a week ahead of schedule. Hayden Town Manager Russ Martin said he was pleased with the completion of the project and its early finish. The reconstruction, from U.S. Highway 40 to the bridge over Dry Creek, was originally scheduled for completion Sunday. He said few residents had complained since the project began in early September. Martin said the design also didn’t force the town to acquire any additional rightof-way. He added that the town didn’t need to use contingency funding for the project. “Honestly, it was one of the quickest and smoothest projects I’ve been involved with,” Martin said. Toby Keeton, construction
manger for Native Excavating, the Steamboat Springs contractor that won the $958,000 project bid, attributed Poplar’s early opening to favorable weather and the crew’s desire to beat poor weather. Martin said the project was identified because there was a storm water drainage issue near the entrance to the Routt County Fairgrounds. During storms, he said, water would pool “like a big lake” that sometimes forced drivers into the opposite lane to avoid it. “That will not happen now,” he said. Martin said new drains would flow into Dry Creek. A new culvert was installed as part of the project. Richard “Festus” Hagins, Hayden School District transportation director, said he was glad the street work was completed. He said Poplar’s closure affected the district’s new bus routes, some of which had to be adjusted during the construction. All vehicle traffic was diverted to Third Street during the project.

Hagins said it also affected buses getting to the district’s bus barn, accessible by Poplar and the alley that runs next to the parking lot of the district administration building on West Jefferson Avenue. He said the buses could maneuver into the alley, but it was dangerous, especially during busy mornings. And Hagins said the project made walking to Hayden Valley Elementary School from the east side of town difficult, with the most direct route unusable. Part of the project to widen Poplar included adding a six-foot sidewalk on the west side of the street that students could use to walk to the elementary school. The sidewalk is gravel and would be paved from U.S. 40 nearly to the school at the bridge over Dry Creek by summer, Martin said. He said the town would bid the project this year or early next year. With the exception of $50,000 for preliminary engineering fees, the Poplar project was paid for with grants.

Sitting in a brown leather chair off the Sheraton lobby Tuesday afternoon, Porter spoke easily about his decision to leave the Sheraton after 19 years at the helm. But he admitted going through withdrawal after a transitional period in which he assisted new General Manager John Curnow. “There’s a letting-go process,” he said. Part of that process was staying away from the place he spent as many as six days a week during ski season. Keeping his distance allowed him to move on and stay out of Curnow’s way, Porter said. Still, he said, it wasn’t easy. “Most of my professional career was at this base area,” he said. “I feel good about it. It was a chapter I look back on and I’m fond of. I was ready to move on to the next chapter. I am confident with the process and that decision.”

Porter’s new chapter began shortly after he left the Sheraton. He began working for one of the six partners who split ownership of the Sheraton before it was acquired by Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide. Porter wouldn’t say much about his new role except that he works on personal projects. But Porter said he’s keeping busy. Part of his time still is spent working with groups to ensure the future success of Steamboat Ski Area. Porter still serves as treasurer of the Local Marketing District, which helps negotiate contracts that provide minimum revenue to secure air service to Yampa Valley Regional Airport. Chris Diamond, president of Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp., said Porter played a “huge role”

in the creation of the marketing district, which has been vital to the Yampa Valley. “That has saved our collective butts the last few years,” he said. “We’ve been able to maintain consistent air service to the valley, and nothing is more important to our longterm success.” Diamond remembers meeting Porter on his first day at Ski Corp. 11 years ago. He said in addition to the marketing district, Porter was instrumental in helping create the Base Area Reinvestment Coalition, the precursor to the Urban Renewal Authority. Porter also has served on the Urban Redevelopment Area Advisory Committee. Diamond said he worked closely with Porter on efforts to improve the base area. “It’s probably the most significant relationship I’ve had in terms of business, but it’s also been the most productive,” Diamond said. “We describe it as being wedded at the hip right here at the base of the ski mountain. We’ve worked through a number of challenges, but all successfully.”

working at a resort in Florida. With all his possessions in the trunk of his Volkswagen Scirocco and “maybe” $500 in his pocket, Porter set out to return west. Landing in Steamboat, he initially couldn’t find a resort job but was able to snag one in the hospitality industry. He worked the night desk at the Iron Horse Inn, checking guests in and out, in exchange for a room. That changed when he became the Sheraton’s banquet manager in July 1980. Porter became front office manager in 1982. He served in a couple of roles with Thunderhead Lodge and Ski Time Square from 1984 until being named the general manager of the Sheraton in 1989. Sandy Evans Hall, the Cham ber’s executive vice president, met Porter in 1981 when she was the restaurant manager at Thunderhead. They have worked together since, she said. Evans Hall said Porter’s tenure at the Sheraton brought consistency to the base area after previous general managers were gone after a year or two. She said Porter brought a “very strong voice at a major property.” “With any critical industry or leader in the community, when you have someone that’s invested for a long period of time, they tend to take a longer-range view of the issue,” Evans Hall said. “Strategic changes over time, I think that’s been one of the successes in the longevity of ski area management.”
Recognition Porter said he was “extremely humbled, honored and appreciative” to receive the Business Leader of the Year Award. Porter said he was surprised by the honor because there are so many people in the community who have contributed. “I feel that I’ve been in a support role,” he said. “I’ve had this operation and this asset that was my responsibility. … I never made a decision or advanced anything for personal recognition. “I did it for the hotel, the operation, the bigger group,” he added, referring to the community. Evans Hall said Porter deserved recognition for his work with the Urban Renewal Authority and marketing district. “These two things will probably have the greatest impact on our community long term,” she said. Diamond said, given Porter’s leadership roles with the Chamber and other groups that have worked to benefit the ski and base area, “I’m hard-pressed to think of anyone else in Steamboat who has impacted as much in meaningful ways.” — To reach Jack Weinstein, call 871-4203 or e-mail jweinstein@steamboatpilot.com

Medium can connect with dead relatives Carol’s Cosmetic Corner her work over the phone and strives to add credibility to her profession. She is a member of the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association and offers her services without charge to people with terminal illnesses, to police and sheriff’s departments nationwide on missing person cases, and to local people whose pets are missing. Her beautiful smile, sense of humor and knowledge about what she does put people at ease. She is very clear about what she does and is quick to point out the difference between a psychic and a medium. Explains Herz, “A psychic is a person who reads your energy, past, present and future. For example: Janet is coming to me because she is down, depressed, feeling like she needs a change. I ‘see’ her past as a Wall Streeter and her present as a waitress in Steamboat Springs. The future is where the work comes in. Janet has a beautiful voice, and she should use it in the local opera. Having Janet embrace the parts of her ‘higher self,’ the part of her that a medium can read, will give her a path, hope and get rid of
her funk!” A medium is a person who can connect with the dead. “Most people do not understand that your deceased relative can hear you,” Herz said. “So they come to me. I let them know that their relative is in the room with us by sharing a trait or traits the person had, like she loved to needlepoint and sing ‘Ave Maria’ in the shower. Most people who want to hear from a dead relative really need closure on some part of their death, especially if it’s a suicide or murder. People come away with a great sense of closure. It’s as
if they had a final conversation with the person, and it puts them at peace. People ask me the following: What are they doing? Where is the will? Does my dead mom still hate my husband? Is my loved one with anyone, preferably friends or other family members?” Herz believes everyone has intuition and will be help people develop theirs during an “Awakening Your Intuition” workshop at 5 p.m. Jan. 10 at Epilogue Book Co. She will answer questions about the workshop at Epilogue at 6 p.m. Nov. 19.

Next door to Ben & Jerry’s, Bombay Grill manager Monty Bath said business at the Indian restaurant also has been “a bit slow” during the shoulder season. The restaurant is starting its first happy hour Friday in an effort to boost shoulderseason business, Bath said. Friday’s event, from 4 to 6 p.m., will include a free appetizer for guests and drink specials. Subsequent happy hours will offer half-price appetizers, Bath said. He said business at the restaurant has been “what we expected” since it opened last spring. Like Cooper, Bath said he is hoping a change in season brings a change in business. “We’re just waiting for winter,” he said. A large portion of Wildhorse Marketplace is blocked off for construction at the future site of Millennium Bank.

for the past 60 years. “Dynasty” shows in Steam boat at 7:30 p.m. Thursday and 6:30 and 9:30 p.m. Friday at the Steamboat Grand Resort Hotel. Tickets are $17 and are available in advance at Ski Haus. Including segments from California, British Columbia, Washington, Norway and China, “Dynasty” offers a mix of interesting places and people who share the happiness that goes along with skiing, said Max Bervy, the film’s director and producer. “I think each year for the last five years we’ve just kind of developed that more and more as we rely less on narration and rely more on the athletes to tell the story,” Bervy said. “Dynasty” is narrated by Jonny Moseley and balances a variety of stories, locations, ath letes and related footage from the 60-years-strong Warren Miller archive. “Dynasty” covers destina
tions and groundbreaking feats in skiing and snowboarding. It also tells stories about a 10-yearold snowboarder, a family of skiers in Idaho, homemade ski jumps in Michigan and a 3,000-year-old skiing tradition in Northwestern China. Felix Snow is featured in Warren Miller’s first coverage of Mono Skier X, the Winter X Games’ relatively new competi tion for mono skiers. Snow, who is based in Telluride, has some of the longest jumps in the seg ment, he said. “It’s cool that both ESPN has the X Games and that they have this event, and it’s even cooler still that Warren Miller decided they wanted to shoot it,” Snow said. Bervy said he hopes “Dynasty” inspires audiences to get their seasons started, the way Warren Miller’s stuff inspired him when he was grow ing up. “I saw it in Vermont, and I had no idea that a lot of the stuff was possible. … You know what you’re exposed to and

“We just have the best crew,” Gamber said. “We don’t really go through employees — the ones who start here, stay.” BAP employs 25 people locally, Gamber said, plus 30 to 35 independent sales representatives on the road. The company has its headquarters at the 3,300-square-foot building on Oak Street and also operates out of Big Agnes and Honey Stinger’s shared warehouse on Copper Ridge Circle. Honey Stinger is an energy and organic food brand that Hager said has grown every year since starting in 2003. “I think all of them have the same mojo,” Gamber said about the trio of outdoor brands. “It’s really great to have three companies really cranking — and all in different categories.” Gamber said he started BAP about 20 years ago while in college in Pennsylvania. He brought the company — and a mission of “bringing comfort to the backcountry,” Hager said — to Colorado when he and Hager moved west for an outdoor lifestyle. They bought the Oak Street building in 1995, in time for an epic snow season when they skied all winter, Gamber said. Hard work mixed with the skiing and recreating, and years later, honors and recognitions are piling up for BAP. Hager said the company has won five Editor’s Choice Awards from Backpacker Magazine and Gear of the Year awards from Outside magazine and Men’s Journal for Big Agnes products including the Emerald Mountain tent. BAP has products selling in 250 independent stores and 200 brand-name, specialty stores such as REI and Eastern Mountain Sports. Hager said BAP is expanding sales into Canada and slowly moving into Europe, Japan and China. In May, the Edward Lowe Foundation named BAP one

Local praise Along with co-owner Len Zanni, who is based in Carbondale, Gamber and Hager have earned respect from members of the local business community. “I have nothing but good things to say about them,” said Pete Van De Carr, owner of Backdoor Sports. “I just think that a business that can grow itself from the bottom up to the level that they’ve done is worthy of unbelievable praise. Especially in a world where it seems like every large manufacturer has huge pockets behind it. … To have them right here in Steam boat Springs is very cool.” Ed Mumm is the founder and owner of Dig This, which enables people and corporate groups to operate bulldozers and excavators on a site west of Steamboat Springs. Mumm said when he was floating the idea for Dig This, he received a lot of “conventional wisdom” with cautions about starting an unusual business — but not from Gamber. “His approach has always been if you like your idea and
you feel good about it, go for it,” Mumm said. “I know Bill really well, and I’ve always just liked his approach to business. … Plus his sheer gutsiness as far as taking a business where there’s been a lot of competition and accomplishing what he has.” The Chamber and the Steam boat Pilot & Today sponsor the Navigator Awards, which will be presented at a lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Friday at Ghost Ranch Saloon on Seventh Street. The event includes guest speaker Michael Berry, of the National Association of Ski Areas, who will discuss the future of skiing in Colorado. Admission to the nearly sold-out event is $25, or $235 for a corporate table. BAP also is nominated for a Sustainable Steamboat Business award, along with PostNet and Black Tie Ski Rentals. The winner will be announced at Friday’s event. Chamber staff members said today was the last day to RSVP by calling 875-7000 or visiting www.steamboatchamber. com. BAP’s environmental stewardship ethic is evident, in part, in the amount of time spent outdoors by employees and owners. Gamber said he and Hager are “both sort of washed-up triathletes,” and Hager said his best ideas come from being outside, trying out the products BAP produces. “They’re still athletes — they’re still out there using the stuff themselves, and that’s something that I think is lost in the outdoor industry, (which) is all about the glitter,” Van De Carr said. “When I got into the business, it was about guys building stuff in the back of their van and in the garage. It was athletes creating equipment that made their time in the backcountry easier, and because of that dedication they’ve excelled in their business — that’s how I see Big Agnes.” — To reach Mike Lawrence, call 871-4233 or e-mail mlawrence@steamboatpilot.com

Some artwork on display at local banks In 2008, the project donated $15,000 toward the purchase of digital mammography equipment at Yampa Valley Medical Center. The hospital auxiliary group holds an open house for that equipment from 3 to 6 p.m. Thursday at YVMC. The Bustsellers’ “Back to Basics or Bust” is an antique breadbox stocked with donated titles from Off the Beaten Path Bookstore. A clothesline of bras is painted on a ceramic canister on top of the breadbox, said Denise Gardner, book club member and breast cancer survivor. Gardner was diagnosed with breast cancer
in 2005 and finished treatment in spring 2006. Her book club’s nine members got involved in the Bust of Steamboat in 2007 after talking about their appreciation for the event’s help with “the day-to-day process of getting through breast cancer,” Gardner said. “It takes a tremendous amount of resources of people and time and money to get through a breast cancer treatment,” she said. Curd founded the volunteerrun Yampa Valley Breast Cancer Awareness Project in 2000. Bust of Steamboat came along in 2001. “I lost a close friend to breast cancer after a six-year battle,”
Curd said. “I could see how much she spent and how difficult it was and decided to take some of that emotion and apply it and use it toward something constructive.” The art auction’s one rule leaves room for creativity. Through the years, Curd has seen busts in paintings, photos, jewelry, metal, chocolate and clothing from local business, as well as artists sponsored by businesses. “It just keeps morphing. We just have that one rule, and it kind of takes on its own life,” Curd said. Several of this year’s pieces are on display at local banks; “Back to Basics or Bust” is at Vectra Bank on Resort Drive.

Despite BOCES’ recent problems, Toothaker said she hadn’t considering resigning. “I feel that if you leave a position in the middle of a crisis, it shows a lack of integrity on your part,” she said. “You should follow through and complete that work and get things on firm footing.

Sunlight Mountain Resort is going it alone to organize a replacement 12-hour endurance ski race this winter, after breaking ties with the organizer of the popular 24 Hours of Sunlight in a dispute about nonpayment of a use fee for last February’s event. Meanwhile, the 24-hour endurance race has been officially canceled for this winter because of

the lack of a host venue and the economy, race founder and director Mary Kenyon said. “The bottom line is they hadn’t paid us yet,” Sunlight General Manager Tom Jankovsky said Monday, adding that the resort decided about a month ago to organize its own event for this ski season. “We did hear from the local community that people wanted to see an event continued, so we went with a 12-hour race,” Jankovsky said. The event in which most participants skin up and ski down a set course on the mountain multiple times, either solo or as part of a relay team, will take place Feb. 28 beginning at 8 a.m. and continuing until 8 that night. Jankovsky said Sunlight charges a $4,000 vendor fee for outside events to use the ski mountain, located 10 miles southwest of Glenwood Springs. “We have been sending bills (to the 24 Hours organizer) since the day of the race; we typically expect payment within 30 days,” he said. But Kenyon, the owner of Aspen-based Real Time Marketing who, along with sponsor Granny Gear, founded the unique event four years ago, said she was operating on the belief that payment would be made upon receipt of preregistration money for February’s event. “They have sent their typical nasty e-mails, knowing that we have always paid with the early registration monies from the next year’s race because they fall within the same fiscal year,” she said. Kenyon said she had the same arrangement with Granny Gear, which set up the electronic timing system and compiled results for the race. “This year wouldn’t have been

any different,” she said. “So, now we are scrambling to raise that money elsewhere.” Furthermore, Kenyon said Sunlight is “too difficult to work with” and “not good hosts for this event.” She said she was even verbally “assaulted” by a Sunlight employee near the conclusion of last winter’s event about something that had been part of the plan all along and which the employee should have known about. “We had been working on the race all year, meeting with mountain personnel for months and this staff member — who I have never seen before — comes out and started attacking me in front of the racers,” she said. Jankovsky said the dispute was about the serving of free beer to the participants, which can cause conflicts with Sunlight’s liquor license. Kenyon said Sunlight e-mailed her a month ago indicating they were hosting their own event on the date reserved for 24 Hours. That was the first she’d heard that Sunlight would not be hosting her event this year. She said she made the final decision late last week to cancel her event for this winter. About 250 racers participated in last year’s 24 Hours race from throughout the region and North America. The event also garnered international press, she noted. “I feel sorry for the racers that have looked forward to doing this every year,” Kenyon said. “Many of them have contacted me and understand the situation with Sunlight.” As for future 24 Hours races on the Western Slope, she said there is interest in it. “We will just have to wait and see.” Some supporters of the event have suggested moving it onto public lands, which may be an option, Kenyon said. “Some of the sponsors have also suggested other ski resorts where this would be embraced,” she said. “We do hope to keep it on the Western Slope because that’s where a lot of our participants come from. It’s a great tourism event.” “We would have liked to work it out,” she added. “But we were constantly swimming upstream with Sunlight, and there was no way to pull it off for this year.” Jankovsky said Sunlight’s replacement event was scaled back to 12 hours because of a lack of available overnight lodging on the weekend of the full moon in February, which is a key aspect of the race to allow for safer nighttime skiing. Participants still will be able to ski in the moonlight hours during the final couple of hours of the race, he said.

Worker furloughs extended
your first step... to a beautiful room
Ritter orders state employees to take 4 more unpaid days Steven K. Paulson The Associated Press
DENVER
Gov. Bill Ritter ordered state employees to take four more unpaid furlough days in an effort to save money as he prepared to tell lawmakers Wednesday how he plans to cut an additional $280 million by next June. The new furlough days were in addition to the four that workers already are taking. Ritter said Tuesday that the eight closure days will save about $27.2 million in the 200910 fiscal year, which started July 1 and ends June 30. Sen. Moe Keller, D-Wheat Ridge, who heads the Joint Budget Committee, said she’s expecting more bad news when
the governor’s office briefs the committee on the new cuts that are in store. “I know that Medicaid rolls are up, and instead of cutting the $240 million we expected in September, it will be closer to $280 million. I’m guessing we’re going to cut higher education some more, and now the governor has announced four more furlough days. That hurts,” she said. Keller said even if the recession ends, it will be at least another year before state revenues rebound. Donald Gustin, a state transportation worker and state employees union member, wasn’t happy about being told to take more unpaid furlough days. “These furloughs are pro-
gram cuts by another name. We were hoping instead that state agencies would follow the governor’s call to find additional savings in places like consulting contracts without having to curtail important front line services that Coloradans rely on. I think this underscores how little room there is to solve the budget crisis by slashing services,” he said. Ritter said the global economic downturn is continuing to affect state government. During the past year, the recession has forced state government to close a $1.8 billion budget shortfall. “Businesses and families all across Colorado are tightening their belts and making tough decisions. So is state government,” Ritter said.

1/5 of state stimulus dollars spent Kristen Wyatt The Associated Press
DENVER
Colorado has spent about a fifth of its federal stimulus money. State officials announced Tuesday that the state has already spent about $345 million in stimulus funds on wideranging projects from boosting food stamp payments to paying the salaries of public employees who might otherwise have been fired because of falling tax receipts. The state expects to receive about $1.6 billion from the stimulus law. Authorities say that figure will balloon to about $5.7 billion considering payments that won’t come through the state, plus tax cuts.
Colorado’s stimulus oversight agency released stimulus data ahead of a larger federal report on the status of the stimulus Friday. The report by the Governor’s Economy Recovery Team wasn’t an accounting of how all stimulus money is being spent but rather a series of snapshots showing how stimulus dollars have gone out the door. Myung Oak Kim, a spokeswoman for the agency, told reporters the state is struggling to keep track of how stimulus dollars are being spent because the state only directly controls some of the money. Other grants go straight from the federal government to a local government or are not passed through state accounting, so the state must cobble together an idea of full
stimulus spending. Kim struggled to explain how many jobs the stimulus spending has created or saved in Colorado. The jobs numbers are perhaps one of the most vexing components of the stimulus law because state officials must follow elaborate rules about how to count jobs, even parttime jobs. That makes it hard to say how many jobs can be attributed to stimulus spending. Economists have said it will take years to get a good idea about how many jobs were created by the stimulus. The state’s accounting released Tuesday showed 5,291 jobs created or retained — but Kim said the number of people who hold those jobs is much higher.

Colorado is about to get its first real taste of winter. The National Weather Service said a major winter storm was expected in western Colorado Tuesday evening and would spread across the state. The snow is forecast to continue falling through Thursday. Parts of the central mountains, including Summit County, could get as much as 18 inches. The Weather Service said snow likely would fall after midnight along the Front Range and that the Denver area could get 8 to 14 inches before the storm moves out. The Front Range foothills could get as much as 2 feet because of easterly winds that are expected to push moisture up against those slopes.

Mayumi Heene, Larimer County district attorney’s spokeswoman Linda Jensen said. She would not say what kind of information prosecutors are waiting for or when a decision might be reached. Sheriff Jim Alderden has said the Heenes were lying when they reported their 6-year-old son Falcon was in a homemade helium balloon that lifted off from their back yard in Fort Collins on Oct. 15, drifted across two counties and landed in a farm field. Alderden said the whole thing was a hoax to generate publicity for the couple, who have appeared on the ABC reality show “Wife Swap” and were trying to arrange another show. Richard Heene’s attorney, David Lane, claims Alderden broke privacy laws by publicly saying social services were looking into the welfare of Falcon and the Heenes’ two other sons, ages 8 and 10. Lane wrote a letter to the district attorney Monday asking for an investigation and prosecution of Alderden.
Planned uranium mill near Naturita gets local OK NUCLA
A company that wants to build one of the first new U.S. uranium mills since the Cold War has won local approval and now needs the state’s OK. The Montrose County commissioners last month issued a permit to Toronto-based Energy Fuels for its proposed Piñon Ridge mill 12 miles west of Naturita and about 340 miles southwest of Denver. The company is preparing to submit a 12-volume application to state health regulators, triggering a technical review. Many area residents welcome the possible return of high-paying mining jobs. Several uranium mills operated in western Colorado until the uranium market crashed in 1981 after the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island. Energy Fuels officials said the mill would employ about 85 people. They estimate at least 200 mining jobs would be created in the area with salaries ranging from $45,000 to $90,000 a year. “Once you have a mill, you can develop mines. There were over 200 uranium mines in western Colorado at the peak,” Energy Fuels chief operations officer Steve Antony said. Some advocates see more reliance on nuclear power as one way to cut emissions caus-
ing climate change. But environmental groups and the Colorado Division of Wildlife have raised concerns about the mill. The county commissioners “have approved yet another toxic threat that will result in a 7.3 million-ton radioactive waste dump site, a tragic legacy for future generations in Colorado,” said Joan Seeman, of the Sierra Club’s Rocky Mountain chapter. Jon Holst, of the Division of Wildlife, said the mill will have direct impact on big game and would sit between two areas occupied by Gunnison sage grouse, which is being considered for placement on the federal endangered species list.
Man pleads guilty to crash that killed mom and baby GRAND JUNCTION
A 20-year-old Parachute man has pleaded guilty to driving drunk and causing a crash that killed a mother and her baby. Prosecutors say they have not decided what sentence to ask for Derrick Maxfield, who entered his pleas Monday. He pleaded guilty to charges including vehicular homicide charges and child abuse resulting in death. The deal calls for Maxfield to serve 16 to 30 years in prison. Prosecutors say Maxfield had a blood-alcohol level three times the legal limit when he crashed into a pickup in February and killed 21-yearold Shandi Boetel and her 6-month-old daughter. He is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 4.
Denver police crush car belonging to sex offender DENVER
Denver police have crushed a car belonging to a man who pleaded guilty to attempting to sexually assault a child. Police destroyed the vehicle of 37-year-old Balazs Toth on Tuesday, saying it’s a public nuisance. The former Roman Catholic school teacher also received a 90-day jail sentence in the case, in which he was accused of going online to try to lure a child to a McDonald’s parking lot for sex in December. Police say a vehicle can be considered a public nuisance in Denver if it is used to attempt a sexual assault. Toth was sentenced in June, also receiving five years of sex offender probation. His phone number isn’t listed, and he couldn’t be reached for comment.

Consumer confidence falls Index lower than expected; shoppers report plans to cut back CHICAGO
The housing market and stocks may be looking up, but Americans just can’t shake their job worries. In a sign that talk of an economic recovery has yet to soothe a recession-battered nation, consumer confidence fell in October and came in well below what analysts were expecting. For stores, the reading is reason to worry that holiday sales might be even worse than feared. In a separate reading, the Conference Board reported shoppers’ sentiments about the state of the economy are the gloomiest in nearly three decades. Americans reported

they plan to cut back on spending, in large part because they don’t trust the job market. The unemployment rate is just less than 10 percent, and economists say it could hit 10.5 percent next year. “It’s hard to get a job, and the ones that are out there don’t pay enough,” said Mitch Hicks, a 33-year-old from Hillsboro, Ore., who lost his job at a cabinet company a year ago and is still struggling to find work. The board’s index of consumer confidence fell to 47.7 in October from 53.4 in September. Economists were expecting only a small decline, to 53.1. It takes a reading of 90 to indicate an economy on solid footing, 100 or more to indicate growth. Nearly half of the 5,000

about the bill’s costs. Energy Secretary Steven Chu told a Senate panel that the U.S. has stumbled in the clean energy race and that to catch up Congress must enact comprehensive energy legislation that puts the first-ever limits on the gases blamed for global warming. While the legislation is likely to clear the environment panel, more than a dozen Democrats have voice serious concerns
about the potential economic fallout from shifting away from fossil fuels to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions. On Tuesday, Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., chairman of the Finance Committee, told the hearing that he had “serious reservations” with the aggressive effort to cut emissions throughout the next decade.

Democratic moderates who control the balance of power on health care legislation balked Tuesday at a government-run insurance option for millions of Americans, underscoring the enormity of the challenge confronting Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid one day after he unveiled the plan as a consensus product. Republican opposition stiffened, and party leaders announced they would attempt
to strangle the bill before formal debate begins. Despite the obvious obstacles, senior Democrats cast Reid’s draft legislation as a turning point in the yearlong campaign to enact President Barack Obama’s top domestic priority. Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said there is now a “sense of inevitability, the sense that, yes, we’re going to pass health care reform, and it’s going to lower costs, provide better health insurance coverage and cover ... and reform the health insurance market.”
The proposed government insurance option long ago emerged as the biggest flashpoint in the House and Senate as Democrats struggle to pass legislation that extends coverage to millions who lack it, bans insurance industry practices such as denying coverage on the basis of pre-existing medical conditions and slows the growth of health care spending nationally. But before that issue can be joined on the Senate floor, Reid’s first challenge is to gain 60 votes just to bring the bill up, a maneuver so routine that a vote is rarely required.
Senate to consider jobless benefits
Legislation would offer 14 weeks in extra aid for unemployed Jim Abrams
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON
After weeks of political haggling, the Senate agreed Tuesday to take up legislation that would give people running out of unemployment insurance benefits up to 20 more weeks of federal aid. Senate Democrats, saying that 7,000 people a day are exhausting their benefits, called on their colleagues to move quickly to a final vote. Republicans insisted they get
a chance to offer amendments on the benefit bill and other issues. Also in play was the possibility the bill would be used as a vehicle to extend another policy that has been central to the Obama administration’s efforts to revive the economy: an $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers. The vote was 87-13 to bring the bill to the floor. Sixty votes were needed to pass that procedural hurdle. The legislation would provide 14 weeks in extra financial aid
for everyone exhausting their benefits by the end of the year and another six weeks for those living in 27 states where the unemployment rate is at least 8.5 percent. The White House issued a statement in support of extending benefits. The House passed a less generous benefit extension more than a month ago, but Senate Republicans, at odds with Democrats about what amendments they can offer to the bill, have blocked Senate consideration.

The gang rape and beating of a 15-year-old girl on school grounds after her homecoming dance was horrific enough. But more shocking, police say, was that as many as 20 people watched and did nothing to stop it. The attack during the weekend rattled this crime-ridden city of 120,000 in the San Francisco Bay area, where one police official called it one of the most heinous crimes he has ever seen. Some students have already left the school district in response to the attack. “It’s not safe there at all,” said 16-year-old Jennie Steinberg,
whose mother let her transfer out of the district Tuesday. “I’m not going back.” The victim, a sophomore, had left the dance and was drinking in a school courtyard with a group of students when she was attacked, police said. Two suspects were in custody Monday, but police said as many as five others ranging in age from 15 to mid-20s attacked the girl for more than two hours at a dimly lit area near benches Saturday night. More than a dozen people saw the rape without notifying police. The girl was found naked from the waist down near a picnic table. She remains hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
“This was a barbaric act. I still cannot get my head around the fact that numerous people either watched, walked away or participated in her assault,” Lt. Mark Gagan said Tuesday. “It’s one of the most disturbing crimes in my 15 years as a police officer.” Gagan would not comment on rumors that observers took video of the attack on cell phones and may have posted it online. Manuel Ortega, a 19-yearold former student, was arrested after trying to flee the scene. He is being held on $800,000 bail for investigation of rape and robbery. A 15-year-old student also was booked late Monday on one count of sexual assault, Gagan said.

MILWAUKEE
How low can beer makers go? Having conquered the beerbelly set, some of the nation’s biggest brewers are trying to win over the six-pack-ab crowd with ultra-low-calorie suds. The question is: Are drinkers willing to sacrifice flavor and a bit of the buzz? And how long before beer gets turned back into water? Most regular American beers, such as Budweiser, have about 150 calories and 5 percent alcohol, while most light beers contain about 100 calories and 4 percent alcohol. The new brews, MillerCoors’ Miller Genuine Draft 64 and Anheuser-Busch InBev’s Select 55, are well below that. Their calorie counts are in their names, and they both contain less than 3 percent alcohol. Guzzling a whole MGD 64 or Select 55 is like taking a few swigs of a Bud. Drinkers speak to an unavoidable tradeoff: To cut calories, beer companies reduce the amount of malted barley and other grains that are fermented during the brewing process. That, in turn, reduces the amount of alcohol in the brew. The result is a beer more like its main ingredient, water. Light beers account for about half of the $99 billiona-year beer market in the U.S., according to the Beverage Information Group, a market research firm. But the market for super-low-calorie is probably small, says Eric Schmidt, manager of information services. MillerCoors says MGD 64 (slogan: “As light as it gets”) has sold twice as much in its first year as Miller Genuine Draft Light, which it replaced a year ago. It would not release specific figures. After a few weeks of testing Select 55 in 15 markets, Anheuser-Busch decided to expand into a dozen more starting this month. The company isn’t sure whether demand for the beer is big enough for it to go national. MGD 64 is 2.8 percent alcohol. Select 55 is 2.4 percent.
FDA to ban raw oysters sold from Gulf of Mexico NEW ORLEANS
Federal officials plan to ban sales of raw oysters harvested from the Gulf of Mexico unless the shellfish are treated to destroy potentially deadly bacteria — a requirement that opponents say could deprive diners of a delicacy cherished
around the nation for generations. The plan also has raised concern among oystermen that they could be pushed out of business. The Gulf region supplies about two-thirds of U.S. oysters, and some people in the $500 million industry argue that the anti-bacterial procedures are too costly. They insist adequate measures are already being taken to battle germs, including increased refrigeration on oyster boats and warnings posted in restaurants. About 15 people die each year in the United States from raw oysters infected with Vibrio vulnificus, which typically is found in warm coastal waters between April and October. Most of the deaths occur among people with weak immune systems caused by health problems like liver or kidney disease, cancer, diabetes or AIDS.
Man charged with killing UConn football player STORRS, Conn.
Police charged a 21-yearold man with murder Tuesday in the stabbing death of a University of Connecticut football player outside a schoolsanctioned dance, where the suspect’s lawyer says he was just trying to break up a fight. John William Lomax III, 21, is scheduled to appear in court today on charges of murder and conspiracy to commit assault in the Oct. 18 death of Jasper Howard, police said. His bond was set at $2 million. Police also arrested two other people in connection with the fight that led to Howard’s death. Hakim Muhammad, 20, was charged with conspiracy to commit assault, and Jamal Todd, 21, faces a felony charge of falsely reporting an incident and a misdemeanor charge of reckless endangerment for pulling a fire alarm that emptied the dance early that Sunday morning. None of those arrested is a UConn student. Lomax and Muhammad live in Bloomfield, about 30 miles from campus. Todd lives in Hartford. Police have said that Howard was stabbed once in the abdomen during an altercation that erupted after the dance was evacuated. Several other football players were with him, but none has been charged and coach Randy Edsall said he hasn’t heard that any football player was involved in anything other than “verbal jostling.”

Study finds weight gain in kids on psychiatric drugs
$2 DRAFTS or try India’s Bottled Beers: • Taj Mahal • Maharaja • King Fisher
CHICAGO
Children on widely used psychiatric drugs quickly can gain an alarming amount of weight; many pack on nearly 20 pounds and become obese within just 11 weeks, a study found. “Sometimes this stuff just happens like an explosion. You can actually see them grow between appointments,” said Dr. Christopher Varley, a psychiatrist with Seattle Children’s Hospital who called the study “sobering.” Weight gain is a known possible side effect of the antipsychotic drugs which are prescribed for bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, but also increasingly for autism, attention deficit disorders and other behavior problems. The new study in mostly older children and teens suggests they may be more vulnerable to weight gain than adults. The study also linked some of these drugs with worrisome increases in blood fats including cholesterol, also seen in adults. Researchers tie these changes to weight gain and worry that both may make children more prone to heart problems in adulthood.

Roadside bombs — the biggest killer of U.S. soldiers — claimed eight more American lives Tuesday, driving the U.S. death toll to a record level for the third time in four months as President Barack Obama nears a decision on a new strategy for the troubled war. The homemade bombs, also called improvised explosive devices, are responsible for between 70 and 80 percent of the casualties among U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan and have become a weapon of “strategic influence,” said Lt. Gen. Thomas Metz in Washington. The attacks Tuesday followed one of the deadliest days for the U.S. military operation in Afghanistan — grim milestones likely to fuel the debate in the United States about whether the conflict is worth the sacrifice. Obama nearly has finished gathering information about whether to send tens of thousands more American forces to quell the deepening insurgency, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said. A meeting Friday with the Joint Chiefs of Staff will be among the last events in the decision-making process, Gibbs said. Both attacks Tuesday took place in the southern province of Kandahar, said Capt. Adam Weece, a spokesman for American forces in the south. The region bordering the Pakistan frontier has long been an insurgent stronghold and was the birthplace of the Taliban in the 1990s.
Iran accepted the general framework of a U.N.-draft nuclear deal Tuesday but said it would seek “important chang-
INSTALLATION
around the world es” that could test the willingness of world powers to make concessions in exchange for a pact to rein in Tehran’s ability to make atomic warheads. It was unclear how far Iran would push for those changes. Already, Iran has raised a potential roadblock: It wants a step-by-step approach to send low-enriched uranium stockpile out of the country rather than the big single shipment called for under U.N. provisions. Western powers say it’s critical for Iran to send out at least 70 percent of its uranium store in one load to eliminate — at least temporarily — its options to make a nuclear weapon. A significantly lower amount or gradual shipments by Iran could jeopardize a key part of the proposal, which was reached after talks last week that included the United States. For the moment, Iran has signaled that it agrees to the plan’s basic premise: sending its low-enriched uranium to Russia for further processing. The announcement on state media marked a major step for Iran, which has been reluctant to give up full control of the nuclear enrichment cycle.
Baghdad attacks stir fears of Sunni violence in Iraq BAGHDAD
Iraq’s Sunnis, long dissatisfied with the Shiite-led government, seek more power, respect and a bigger share of oil wealth in upcoming elections. But disunity among their political leaders and the sheer force of Shiite numbers threaten to derail those hopes. The result, some analysts and Iraqis fear, could be increased violence as some embittered Sunnis try to destabilize the government and gain power. Sunday’s bombings that killed 155 people in Baghdad

sent a chill across the country, with an al-Qaida-linked group claiming responsibility.

French court convicts Church of Scientology PARIS
A Paris court convicted the Church of Scientology of fraud and fined it more than 600,000 euro Tuesday but stopped short of banning the group’s activities. The group’s French branch said it would appeal the verdict. The court convicted the Church of Scientology’s French office, its library and six of its leaders of organized fraud. Investigators said the group pressured members into paying large sums of money for questionable financial gain and used “commercial harassment” against recruits. The group was fined 400,000 euro and the library 200,000 euro. Four of the leaders were given suspended sentences of 10 months to two years. The other two were given fines of 1,000 euro and 2,000 euro.
Group: Massacre, rapes in Guinea were premeditated DAKAR, Senegal
The massacre of at least 150 people and rapes of dozens of women by troops in Guinea last month were premeditated and aimed at terrorizing opponents to military rule, a U.S.-based rights group said Tuesday, adding that the rapes persisted for days. Human Rights Watch said dozens of women were seized from the stadium where the Sept. 28 massacre took place and from clinics in Guinea’s capital, Conakry, where they were seeking medical treatment. They were driven in military vehicles to villas, where they were gang-raped by uniformed men throughout several days, the group said. The leader of Guinea’s military junta has said “uncontrolled” elements of the army carried out the rapes and killings. But top aides of military leader Capt. Moussa Dadis Camara were at the stadium and did nothing to stop the mass killings and rapes, the report said, implicating the junta in the massacre.

Hinder receives honor Steamboat Springs quarterback to get San Antonio invite Luke Graham

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS
Austin Hinder would rather deflect the attention from himself. But the quarterback many have touted as the top in the state and among the country’s elite will be recognized again at 3 p.m. today at the Kelly Meek Gymnasium in Steamboat Springs High School. There, representatives from the U.S. Army AllAmerican Bowl will present Hinder a jersey and an invitation to play in the Jan. 9 game at the Alamodome in San Antonio. The game features the top high school players in the nation and is broadcast live on NBC. Previous representatives in the game have included Reggie Bush, Vince Young, Adrian Peterson and Tim Tebow. Hinder will be joined in the game by fellow Colorado prepster, Grandview High School linebacker and University of Notre Dame commit Chris Martin. The event is open to the public. “It means a lot,” Hinder said. “It was one of the goals I was working toward. To do it was awesome. It was amazing to get invited. It all comes down to hard work and preparing for the next week.” Hinder, who burst onto the national scene after his sophomore year and performing well at national camps, has helped the Sailors to an 8-0 record. The senior has accumulated 1,761 yards rushing and passing to go along with 23 touchdowns, despite spending a good portion of second halves on the bench because of big Steamboat leads. “It’s such a unique experience,” Steamboat coach Aaron See Hinder, page 35

Steamboat mostly had the run of play, opportunities abounded and the conditions even featured Steamboat’s Champagne Powder. But the one thing that’s plagued the Steamboat Springs
High School boys soccer team for most of the year again reared its ugly head: finding the back of the net. D’Evelyn scored a fluky goal early in the second half, and Steamboat couldn’t find the back of the net Tuesday during the first round of the Class 4A soccer playoffs, as the No. 22 Jaguars took down the No. 12
Sailors, 1-0. “This didn’t portray Steamboat soccer,” Sailors goalkeeper Connor Birch said. “That’s what I love about our team is we play through the final whistle. That keeper came up with some great saves. He earned that one.” Jaguars keeper Joe Kuzmin sky certainly did. The soph-
omore turned away Sailors opportunity after opportunity in the final 20 minutes to keep D’Evelyn in the game. Kuzminsky made three magnificent saves in the final 15 minutes. “It was scary,” D’Evelyn coach Brian Lux said. See Soccer, page 34

Senior Rachael Koehler hopes the members of the Hayden High School volleyball team pick up a new nickname this week when they travel to Meeker for the district volleyball tournament.
“We want to be the comeback kids,” Koehler said. “We’ve been working really hard, and we feel like we can upset some teams at the district tournament.” The Tigers took the first steps to earning that nick-
name Tuesday night by beating Plateau Valley in three games. They needed the win to get into the district tournament. In the first game, the Tigers erased a nine-point deficit en route to a momentum-changing 28-26 victory. A big spike at the end of the match by Koehler seemed
to give the Tigers a newfound confidence as they took control of the match in the next two games. “I thought the turning point of the match was when we made the comeback,” Koehler said. “Our attitude got better, and we just started playing See Tigers, page 34

“Especially giving up four or five corners in a row. Our keeper came up big. We gave them a ton of chances.” Lux said when his team arrived in Steamboat, the snow seemed to have the opposite effect than might be expected. He said it relaxed his team and allowed members to just go out and play. “It snows like this in Denver,” he said, “and we don’t play.” The Jaguars got their opportunity in the 41st minute. D’Evelyn played the ball forward where Matt Carrera got a pair of touches on the ball and was between two Steamboat defenders. Carrera’s second touch bounced a little more than he wanted, and it looked like it would find Birch’s waiting arms. But the ball deflected off a Steamboat defender’s foot and past Birch. “It accidentally got poked,
and all my momentum was going forward,” Birch said. “In these conditions, I couldn’t stop it.” Birch kept the Sailors in the game early in the second half. He made three sprawling saves in the 52nd, 53rd and 61st minutes before Steamboat came alive. Enrique Lopez ripped two shots in the 64th minute that Kuzminsky punched just over the cross bar. But Steamboat’s real and best chances came in the final 14 minutes of play. The first was when Kai Rogers’ header off of a corner kick sailed just outside the left post. In the 68th minute, Colton Harding hit a shot through the box and traffic that deflected off Kuzminsky and right to Brandon Marr’s feet. Marr hit a shot that graced the cross bar and moved just out. Then in the 77th minute, Sam Glaisher found the ball
at his feet on the left side. His shot looked like it was in, but Kuzminsky reached behind him and make another spectacular save. “We did a nice job of keeping some poise,” Steamboat coach Rob Bohlmann said. “They did a nice job, but it was those issues that we struggle with — to find a way to ultimately beat the keeper and put it in the net.” The loss concludes the season for Steamboat and the careers of Andrew White, Johnathon Ricker, Harding, Tony Rende, Birch, Grant Murray and Glaisher. The team wraps up the season having won the Western Slope League for the first time since 2001, but Bohlmann said its impact on the program is much deeper than that. “I really think it’s their hard work, their dedication to soccer and to this program,” he said. “It’s all those strong characteristics that define a great group of players.”

harder.” Solid passing and good defense helped the Tigers roll to a 25-16 win in game two, and then Hayden put the match away with a 25-13 win in the third game. “We played really nervous and tight to begin with, and I think that hurt us,” coach Greg Johnson said. “We got a few big hits, and once we relaxed a little bit, I knew that we would do some good things on the court and that we had a very good chance of winning.” Koehler’s 17 kills, along with six from teammate Ashlee Doolin, had the Cowboys on the defensive for most of the night. Johnson said the powerful offensive push was the result of good passing and defense from Calla Manzanares, Jarah Woodley and Brittany Turner. Junior Delanie VeDepo also sparked the team with three aces in the match. “We just hustled and worked hard,” Woodley said. “Everything worked for us — our passes were there, our sets were there and we got our kills. That’s what won us the game.” Woodley said the team has been playing at a different level, and she thinks that will make an impact when the team advances to the next round of the playoffs Friday in Meeker. “It is all on the line for us,” Woodley said. “We wanted to go to districts, we want to win at districts, and we want to compete.”

its first shot. Shawn Horcoff turned over the puck in front of the Oilers’ net, and it was hammered home by Hejduk for his fifth of the season. The Oilers committed several turnovers, none more glaring than by defenseman Tom Gilbert with 5 minutes left in the first period. However, Khabibulin bailed out his teammate with a save on a point-blank shot. Colorado came close to making it a two-goal game with 8 minutes left in the middle period as Scott Hannan fired a shot from the point that rang off the post. That led to a great chance for Edmonton as Gilbert Brule took the puck up ice and cut in on Anderson, but his backhand shot was stopped. Colorado came close to scoring again 6 minutes into the third as a shot was lying on the goal-line before Khabibulin covered it up in the nick of time.

Overboard ® Chip Dunham
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Joaquin Phoenix, 35; Julia Roberts, 42; Bill Gates, 54; Bruce Jenner, 60 Happy Birthday: You can delve into areas personally and professionally that you haven't been able to break into in the past. The time has come to share your ideas, interests and intentions. Emotional matters can be resolved and a trust issue that may have been bothering you can be cleared up, allowing you to move forward. Your numbers are 1, 8, 12, 24, 33, 40, 43 ARIES (March 21-April 19): There is plenty going on behind closed doors that you may want to look into. If anyone around you is being secretive, you should question why. Being left out of something that may influence your life personally or professionally is apparent.
★★★
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You'll be in the limelight if you aren't careful. Choose your battles and refrain from talking about something you know little about. You will receive poor information and may be blamed for meddling if you pass along what you hear.
★★★★
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Use your insight and charm to weather any storm brewing at work or with your peers. Be careful not to offer too much to someone looking for a handout. This person may also want to take credit for something you contributed. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don't hold back when you have so much to gain by sharing and pushing your ideas. An emotional encounter will help you clarify where you stand and what your options are. Be forward-thinking and take action. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don't take anything or anyone for granted. The time to lay your cards on the table honestly and openly is now. Alterations at home can bring financial gain. Look into changes that will save you emotionally and financially. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You'll be attracted to someone who may be off-limits. Keep things simple and avoid letting anyone know how you feel. Mixing business with pleasure may be enticing but it's certainly not practical. ★★★
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your past performance may be brought out into the open now by someone looking for attention. Offer friendship, help and courtesy and you will avoid a situation that will make you nervous. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Use your wit to come out on top when dealing with personal situations that can alter the way things are done at home. You can't let anyone persuade you to do things that don't suit your needs. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Avoid any serious pursuits. You need to recharge and to put things in perspective. Have some fun with someone you enjoy spending time with and you will find it much easier to face the responsibilities that you have taken on. ★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Reviving treasured memories will help you realize what you have given up and what you should try to incorporate back into your life. Go after jobs that allow you to put your skills, talents and things you enjoy to the test. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don't let someone's anger stop you from doing what you feel is best for you. There is money to be made or saved. Someone from your past will be able to shed some light on a situation that makes no sense to you.
Cathy ® Cathy Guisewite
Monty ® Jim Meddick
★★★
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your emotions will be difficult to control but, if you follow your heart, you can sort out differences regarding money, contracts or other negotiations. Don't let your own uncertainty ruin a good partnership.
★★★
Birthday Baby: You are sensitive, caring and affectionate. You love a challenge and you show your strength and courage when faced with adversity. You are strongwilled. 2009 UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

historic Elkhead School boarded with the Harrison family. The Harrison cabin’s remains still are visible near the Howes’ home. The PDR program is funded by a 1.5-mill property tax approved in 2006, nine years after the program first was approved for a 10-year period. The 2006 renewal is good for 20 years. When landowners donate a conservation easement, they are permanently protecting the land from development. This reduces the value of the restricted land, but landowners’ compensation isn’t just the knowledge that the land never will be developed. There are significant tax breaks associated with the move, sometimes worth millions depending on the details of the easement. Also, some entities — includ-

ing the PDR program — will compensate landowners for the land-value loss to encourage more people to enter into conservation easements. The Howes are contributing about two-thirds of the easement’s value, which means they are not being reimbursed for about two-thirds of the $770,000 in property value lost by stripping the land of its development rights. “We’re just glad you guys are helping us out,” Cal Howe said at Tuesday’s hearing. “We feel it’s one of the few places left in Routt County that hasn’t been trashed, basically. It’s still like it was 100 years ago. … Other people are investigating other possibilities there. It would be great if the entire valley was preserved, and it appears we may be heading in that direction.” Some have criticized the pro-
gram for spending taxpayer money on remote lands that will remain under private ownership. PDR Board Chairman Ron Roundtree rejected those criticisms in August and also noted that projects in the Elkhead Valley and others are highly visible from public roads and public lands. Visibility is one criterion the PDR board uses to evaluate a project, but not the only one, Roundtree said. “If the Elkhead Valley isn’t protected, there’s no reason to believe it won’t get chopped up,” Roundtree said in August after the approval of a neighboring conservation easement. To date, the PDR program has completed 24 projects protecting 14,670 acres at a cost of more than $6 million. Six more projects totaling 3,219 acres are under negotiation.
FDA recommends trash for most drugs Drugs continued from 4
DOWNTOWN • 5TH & LINCOLN • 879-3773

At the REPS booth, Autrey said about 15 people dropped off medication, including several people who brought in stockpiles of unwanted meds. “We didn’t count them because people brought bags of them,” Autrey said. The prescriptions were not examined, she said, but she said she noticed pain prescriptions and antidepressants among those dropped off. YVMC disposed of the drugs for the drop-off but does not accept medication on a regular basis. Autrey said REPS might host drop-off points at future events where the security of the medications can be monitored. In the meantime, those with excess medication are encouraged to dispose of the drugs themselves. Jennifer Campbell, pharmacist at Lyon’s Corner Drug, said pharmacists would assist people who are uncomfortable throwing out medication, but in general she advises customers to throw the drugs away.
At a glance Medicine should be disposed of when it is no longer needed or is expired. According to guidelines from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, most prescription drugs may be thrown in the trash, out of the original container, mixed with an undesirable substance such as kitty litter or coffee grounds and sealed in a container with a lid or in a plastic bag. More dangerous medications, including morphine, oxycodone and methadone, should be flushed down the toilet to prevent danger to people and pets. For a full list of medications that should be flushed, visit www.fda.gov.
Autrey and Campbell said that they do not recommend flushing the drugs down the toilet because recent studies, including a groundwater survey by the U.S. Geological Survey, indicate that trace amounts of prescription drugs were found in groundwater. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommendations largely follow that advice. For most prescription drugs, the FDA suggests dumping the prescription out of its original container — easy to spot in a trash can — and mixing the pills with
an undesirable material such as cat litter or coffee grounds and placing them in a sealed container or a plastic bag before disposal. The Office of National Drug Control Policy also suggests removing or obscuring the labels on prescription drug bottles before throwing them in the trash. But for certain more potentially dangerous medicines, the FDA still recommends flushing. “We are aware of recent reports that have noted trace amounts of medicines in the water system,” guidelines on the FDA Web site state. “The majority of medicines found in the water system are a result of the body’s natural routes of drug elimination (in urine or feces). Scientists, to date, have found no evidence of harmful effects to human health from medicines in the environment.” Generally only the most potentially dangerous drugs, including morphine, oxycodone and methadone, should be flushed down the toilet to prevent danger to people and pets. For a list of medications that should be flushed, visit www.fda. gov.
