Ben Northcutt, of the Steamboat Springs Rotary Club, which helped organize last year’s community build of the playgrounds, and Scott Gorman, of Children’s Playstructures & Recreation, of Littleton, also gave short presentations during the dedication. As much as Thursday’s ceremony allowed those who presented to thank everyone who

assisted with the development of the playgrounds during the past two years — from the raising of nearly $1 million to the more than 500 volunteers who helped build the structures — it also allowed the children a chance to play. “It’s really, really, really fun,” said Lowen Epstein, 7, a second-grader at Strawberry See Playgrounds, page 14

The way to make the Steamboat Springs Rotary Club Community Barbecue and Barn Dance as successful in its second year as it was the first year, Rotarian Steve Hitchcock said, is to build on the successes. And add some hot dogs for the kids. The second annual barn dance, a fundraiser for Steamboat Community Cares Fund and the Rotary Club’s charities, will include 12 raffle prizes, live music, country dancing and catered food. Hitchcock said at last year’s event, there were “toddlers and grandparents and all in between having a good time.” The 2008 barbecue and dance raised $34,000 from the 400 attendees, Hitchcock said. Of that money, $5,000 went to

Last year’s Community Barbecue and Barn Dance brought a colorful crowd to the horse arena at Sidney Peak Ranch. This year’s event starts at 5 p.m. Saturday. The cost is $35 per person or $75 for a family.

Rotary charities, and the remainder went to Poogie’s Place, an initiative to offer a place for youths to go through the grieving process after the death of a loved one. This year, the first $5,000 rai-

sed will go toward Rotary charities, including scholarships and other programs. The next $1,000 will go to the PolioPlus initiative, a Rotary International program See Barn Dance, page 15

COMMENTARY

Liberal lies about health care – part 5 Ann Coulter

UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

(15) Democrats lost Congress in 1994 because President Bill Clinton failed to pass national health care. I’m not sure if this is another example of the left’s wishful-thinking method of analysis or if they’re seriously trying to trick the Blue Dog Democrats into believing it. But I gather liberals consider the 1994 argument an important point because it was on the front page of The New Coulter York Times a few weeks ago in place of a story about Van Jones or ACORN. According to a news story by Jackie Calmes: “In 1994, Democrats’ dysfunction over fulfilling a new president’s campaign promise contributed to the party’s loss of its 40-year dominance of Congress.”

That’s not the way I remember it. The way I remember it, Republicans swept Congress in 1994 not because Clinton failed to nationalize health care, but because he tried to nationalize health care. HillaryCare failed because most Americans didn’t want it. (For more on this, see “ObamaCare.”) Bill Clinton had run as an old-school, moderate Democrat and then, as soon as he got elected, immediately became Che Guevara. (What is it with all our black presidents and these bait-and-switch tactics?) Instead of pursuing “mend it, don’t end it” on welfare and no “middle-class tax hike” — as Clinton promised during the campaign — he raised taxes, signed ridiculous gun restrictions into law, enacted “midnight basketball” as the solution to urban crime, announced that he was putting gays in the military and let Hillary run riot over health care. But just to check my recollection, I

looked up the Times’ own coverage of the 1994 congressional races. Republicans won a landslide election in 1994 based largely on the “Contract With America,” which, according to the Times, promised “tax cuts, more military spending and a balanced-budget amendment.” Far from complaining about Clinton incompetently failing to pass health care, the Times reported that Republicans were “unabashedly claiming credit for tying Congress up in knots.” These claims were immediately followed by ... oh, what was that word again? Now I remember ... LANDSLIDE! It was almost as if the voters agreed with the Republicans in opposing Clinton’s risky health care scheme, then voted accordingly. The Times’ own polling showed that two-thirds of voters thought “government should be less involved in solving national See Coulter, page 9

Let’s talk about mid-career life changes. Or, what the heck, late-career life changes. We’re Americans. We don’t acknowledge deadlines. Tom DeLay, the former House majority leader, was ridiculed for doing the cha-cha on “Dancing With the Stars.” But you have to admit, DeLay’s decision to make a spectacle of himself on national television was a terrific game-changer.

manic grin on his face was thinking: “Gee, I wonder how that money-laundering indictment is working out for him?” And look at Sarah Palin. Everybody thought she was a desperately uninformed goofball whom the Republican Party might, nevertheless, someday nominate for president in an effort to cement its reputation as worst major American political organization since the Know-Nothings. Then this week she went off to Hong Kong and gave an 80minute, closed-door speech to financial fund managers, for which she was paid an undisclosed but indisputably vast sum of money. The early reviews from people exiting the ballroom ranged from “well prepared” to “boring.” Given that she started the day as a celebrity whose deepest recorded thought was how only dead fish go with the flow, this was quite a triumph. If Palin can arrange to make all her future speeches in Asia, with no reporters present and

tons of money falling out of the ceiling at every stop, I think she has a real shot at rehabilitation. For those in need of a life change without a six-figure speech in the offing, consider the advice given by the heroine of “The Good Wife,” the new TV series about the wife of a disgraced politician: Just keep trudging along. “It’s the superficial things that matter most right now,” said Alicia Florrick, the lead character, as she extolled the virtues of fixing your makeup and getting a good haircut. This worked great for Alicia. Her hair looked great even while she was visiting her husband in the clink. And by the end of the first episode she had managed to restart the legal career she abandoned in her youth, win her first case, free a second-grade teacher unjustly charged with murder and reconnect with a hunky former law school classmate. Just by taking See Collins, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

Life expectancy argument not relevant (And it would be even more without concealed-carry laws! See John Lott, “More Guns, Less Crime.”) According to a 1997 report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the homicide rate with firearms alone was 16 times higher in the U.S. than in 25 other industrialized countries combined. That will tend to reduce the United States’ “life expectancy” numbers, while telling us absolutely nothing about the country’s medical care. (I promise that if you make it to a hospital alive, you are more likely to survive a gunshot wound in the U.S. than any place else in the world.) It’s comparing apples and oranges to talk about life expectancy as if it tracks with a country’s health care system. What matters is the survival rate from the same starting line, to wit, the same medical condition. Not surprisingly, in the applesto-apples comparisons, the U.S. medical system crushes the welfare-state countries.

New York is running out of elected officials Collins continued from 8 it one day at a time. And not all that many days, at that. Sometimes, friends can show you the way. President Barack Obama has been trying to put his pal David Paterson on a more fulfilling path than Paterson’s current one, which involves being governor of New York and dragging down the entire Democratic slate in the 2010 elections. So far, the White House’s efforts have not gotten a particularly warm reception. But perhaps that was because until now, New York didn’t have a lieutenant governor. If Paterson had left Albany to be, say, chief of an exciting new think tank in a really excellent office in Manhattan, control of the state would have fallen to ... well, hard to say. Probably whichever state senator could do the best impression of a junior

high school delinquent shaking down the third-graders for their milk money. But this week, the state’s highest court ruled that Paterson’s desperate attempt to swear in Richard Ravitch as lieutenant governor while Ravitch was dining at a steakhouse in Brooklyn was actually legal. Who’d have thought? Despite his peculiar initiation, Ravitch is an eminently respectable guy who has held almost every appointive office in the state except Grand Marshal of the Columbus Day Parade. If Paterson decides he needs a life makeover, it’s clear sailing. Then there would be an opening for another new lieutenant governor! And I think I would be a really excellent candidate. I am totally up for an exciting new challenge, but preferably one that does not involve mouthing “Wild Thing” while attempt-

ing to ballroom dance. And it would have to be something that would not force me to quit my current job, which I really like. So lieutenant governor would be perfect. Nothing ever gets done in Albany, and I could just sit in my shiny leather chair and work on my laptop all day. New York has lost an uncommon number of elected officials during the past few years. So they’re probably starting to run out of people to plug up the holes. And I have good qualities that set me apart from many other possible contenders. For instance, I am not currently under indictment. And I have been very active in New York politics, in the sense that I have voted in all the elections, including that one for public advocate the other week in which only about 10 people took part. If this doesn’t work out, there’s still the haircut.

problems” — which doesn’t sound to me like voters being huffy with Clinton for failing to stage a government takeover of one-sixth of the economy. In a Hail Mary pass just before the election, President Clinton pulled Hillary off the health care beat. CNN’s repository of liberal cliches, Bill Schneider, reported that Clinton was trying to calm voters by “removing the most visible symbol of the liberal tilt of the last two years, which is the first lady.” And what a morale boost for the Democrats that must have been! Kind of like firing the manager of a losing baseball team in the last week of the season. Too late. Shouldn’t have tried to socialize health care. (16) America’s relatively low life expectancy compared to countries with socialist health care proves welfare-state health care is better.

The life expectancy argument is so stupid even The New York Times hasn’t made it — except in news stories quoting others or in the ramblings of the Times’ more gullible opinion columnists. You mostly hear the life expectancy argument from Hollywood actresses and profoundly dumb Democrats, such as Sen. Ben Cardin, of Maryland. Trying to evaluate the quality of a nation’s health care by looking at life expectancy is like trying to estimate the birthrate by counting the number of flowers bought on Valentine’s Day. (Or estimating future pregnancies of women with low self-esteem by adding up the total number of U.S. cities on a Bobby Brown tour and then multiplying by 2.) There are a lot of ways to get to a pregnancy besides flowers or a Bobby Brown tour, and a lot of ways to die without ever setting foot in a doctor’s office. For example, more Americans are murdered with guns than in any other industrialized country.

Chamber of Commerce and the Northwest Colorado Cultural Tourism Association, among other groups. “Whatever it is, Donna is right there, and she’s a shaker and mover for it,” Dunn said. At the museum, Dunn works closely with Leslie, a former schoolteacher who spends much of her free time researching. Leslie has built more than 25 compilations of information about Hayden’s history. She’s also compiled obituaries for people who lived in or were connected to Hayden, Dunn said. She and Leslie are finishing a pictorial history of the area. “I’m here day to day at the museum, and I see what people come looking for,” Dunn said.

“There is never a time, I can say that there’s never a time that a person comes in here to do research that I’m not reaching for something Jan has compiled. Not one time. You just can’t put a price on that.” Historic Routt County’s board selected the two women for the award, Delaney said. Past winners include Judy Green; Pat Holderness; the city of Steamboat Springs; Wanda Redmond; and Bain and Christine White. The women earned the honor partly because the board wanted to recognize a flurry of historic preservation activity and awareness in West Routt County. That See Honors, page 13

Hayden’s history advocates shone Thursday evening at Historic Routt County’s annual meeting. Donna Hellyer and Jan Leslie won the Historic Preservation Leadership Award from the organization. Hellyer has pushed for historic preservation across the county, and Leslie has created mounds of research behind the scenes, said Patrick Delaney, Historic Routt County board president. “Donna is a very public face of historic preservation, and she advocates for historic preservation all over the county … so that’s terrific,” Delaney said. Hellyer has helped lead projects such as getting historical plaques on Hayden buildings. Leslie has written books about the history of Routt County and has compiled information for the Hayden Heritage Center museum. Museum curator Mary Pat Dunn said she worked closely with both women. Hellyer was heavily involved in Hayden’s centennial celebration, for example. “She looks specifically at the hands-on kind of stuff,” Dunn said. “Jan is more the research end of it, making sure it’s backed up.” Hellyer puts herself out in the community to promote and catalog local history, she said. Hellyer also is a member of the Hayden Planning Commission, the Hayden

Finding the silver lining Ski Corp. president: Most market indicators positive Blythe Terrell

Chris Diamond kicked off Thursday morning’s Business Outlook Breakfast with a dose of optimism about the approaching ski season. “As distressing as some of the news is, it’s hard to find a metric this time of year that isn’t positive compared to last year,” the Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. Diamond president told a crowd at Rex’s American Grill & Bar. Some ski season flights are 60 percent to 80 percent cheaper than this time last year, Diamond said. Gas is more than a dollar a gallon cheaper, and consumer confidence is increasing from its all-time low in February. “We’re not headed back for boom times,” Diamond said. “If you look back two years ago, I don’t see any way we can get back to where we were in ’07’08. … (but) It’s going the right direction.” Diamond spoke as part of a panel of business leaders at the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association event.

Hayden resident Jan Leslie earned the Historic Preservation Leadership Award partly for her work behind the scenes.

Shively says Realtors expect shift in 2010 Ski business continued from 12 said. “We’ll probably see them (booking) a slightly shorter stay, we’ll see hands in pockets, real pressure continuing on high-end retail.” But if the upswing continues, Diamond said, things could turn around in March. Times still are challenging the real-estate and building arenas, Salzgeber and Shively said. In August, 72 properties sold for a combined $33 million, Salzgeber said. That was the

second highest-dollar month this year after July. But that dollar figure is 56 percent of what it was in August 2008, he said. Volume in August 2007 was $152 million. He said Realtors expect a turnaround in the second half of 2010. Shively said the construction industry was still seeing few new home starts. His business did about 75 percent remodels and 25 percent new homes when he started it in 1983.

Those percentages flipflopped during the housing boom in Steamboat and appear to be adjusting again, he said. “We see people who want to build that have the money not going forward because of the uncertainty in the marketplace,” Shively said. The Chamber is planning its next Business Outlook Breakfast for early December.

Playgrounds will feature snowmelt systems Playgrounds continued from 1 Park. “I love it. It’s way better than the old playground. I love the spider web and the tight rope. I like pretty much everything. It’s the coolest playground.” A similar sentiment was shared by a number of the kids taking full advantage of their new playground Thursday. Casey Buchanan, 7, also a second-grader at Strawberry Park, said the playground was really fun, but she also cited another benefit. “You don’t get splinters very often now,” she said, referring to the school’s old wooden playground structures. Even the parents didn’t seem to mind spending extra time on the playground after the sun started to set and the temperature dropped. “It’s amazing,” said Stephanie Orozco, whose 6-year-old son, Max, is a first-grader at Strawberry Park. “We were just discussing our grammar school playgrounds. There were monkey bars, concrete and some sand. This is neat.

to eradicate polio worldwide. The remainder of the money raised will go to the Community Cares Fund, a pool distributed by the Yampa Valley Community Foundation and Routt County United Way to local human service providers. Hitchcock said Wells Fargo, the primary sponsor of the event, already has donated $5,000. In their last round of funding at the end of August, the Community Cares board distributed $47,000 to six organizations. Yampa Valley Community Foundation Executive Director Betsey Jay said she was “thrilled” at the prospect of adding to the nearly $21,000 the group has in reserves for the next funding cycle.

What: Second annual Rotary Club of Steamboat Springs Community Barbecue and Barn Dance When: 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday Where: Sidney Peak Ranch Price: Tickets are $35 for singles, or $75 for families up to five members. Each additional child younger than 16 is $10. Benefit: The event will raise funds for the Steamboat Community Cares Fund and the Rotary Club’s local charities Tickets: Available at Central Park Liquor, All That Jazz and at the door of the dance

She said Steamboat Mental Health may lose some of its state funding and will be a top contender in the next round of funding. “That is one group we wanted to make sure had funds available for people who may reach a point

they can’t (afford) critical medication they need or critical sessions they may need,” she said. David Freseman, executive director of LIFT-UP of Routt County, said the need for organizations such as his are crucial as funding dips and need increases. LIFT-UP provides food, clothing, housing and utility payment assistance to clients in need. The group received $20,000 in the first Community Cares funding cycle. That was the largest donation to a single group. “The requests are coming in higher numbers than in the history of the organization and the history of the community,” he said. Since 2007, requests for housing and utility assistance have tripled, he said.

LIFT-UP

The Rotary’s Barbecue and Barn Dance also will include 12 raffles, with prizes totaling $15,000, Hitchcock said. Among the raffle prizes are a dinner at one of six participating restaurants in town, a 10-day ski pass, advertising packages from local media organizations and two $1,000 packages from Hitchcock’s business, Zirkel Trading. “Mostly we’re trying to repeat a winning combination,” Hitchcock said. Tickets cost $35 for individuals, or $75 for families up to five people. Admission for additional children younger than 16 is $10 each.

Litzau said U.S. Bank has agreed to supply a letter of credit. However, the bank also provided the city an alternative to the bond by offering to make the city a loan for the same $21.6 million sum. That number includes the new debt approved by council earlier this year and enough money to pay off the URA’s existing bonds. The URA uses bond revenues to construct public improvements at the base area. Within its boundaries, the authority receives property and sales tax increments to repay the debt. URAAC is an advisory body to the Steamboat Springs City Council for decisions regarding the renewal authority. Under the bond scenario, the interest rate would vary but be capped at 4 percent. U.S. Bank is offering a fixed-rate loan of 3.59 percent. The bank loan also wouldn’t carry a fee for the interest-rate cap and other costs associated with a bond. The city’s bond consultant did a comparison showing that the two scenarios would cost exactly the same in five years — $6.6 million — if the interest rate on the bond averaged 1.35 percent. Both financing options would be re-evaluated after five years. While the bank loan appears a better deal at first glance, Litzau said the difficulty in evaluating the proposals is that bond rates are currently very low. Litzau said they were at 0.3 percent Thursday. Litzau had sought direction on which way to go Thursday, but URAAC members including Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. President

Chris Diamond said the proposals deserve more analysis. “The sooner we make this decision, the sooner we get the money,” Litzau said. The URA is operating on a $2.6 million loan from the city’s general fund until the debt is issued. URAAC member Jon Wade noted that the difference between the two proposals is probably minimal and that in a worst-case scenario, the city would issue bonds that are capped at a 4 percent interest rate. “This isn’t a gamble by any means,” Wade said. “We can’t really get hurt.” URAAC will aim to make a recommendation on the proposals Oct. 10.

Promenade planning Redevelopment Coordinator Joe Kracum provided an update on this year’s project: the construction of a Burgess Creek diversion structure and public plaza on the north side of the base area near Slopeside Grill. Burgess Creek disappears beneath the lowest trails of the ski area there, and this summer’s work is a precursor to plans to ultimately bring the creek back above ground, where it will flow beside a planned promenade along the immediate ski base. Kracum said the project is within budget but five days off schedule because of unanticipated work added this summer. The diversion structure is 90 percent complete, an iconic rock feature is in place and a fire pit is taking form. Also Thursday, Kracum told URAAC members that it is not feasible to power a snowmelt

system for the promenade with ground-source heat pumps. URAAC members and other city officials had hoped that would be possible, to reduce the carbon footprint of such a large snowmelt system. City Council already has directed that the tubing and other features of a snowmelt system be included in the construction of the promenade. URAAC members also directed Kracum to research the cost of putting in a gas-fired boiler system to power the system. URAAC members also received design updates on the overall creek project and promenade. Designer Nicole Horst, of Wenk Associates, said Burgess Creek ultimately will flow through the base area in a variety of ways during the summer. It will vary in width from 3 to 20 feet and include boulder drops, pools and shallow, riffled sections that will shimmer in the sunlight. “I like the variety of this,” URAAC member Peter Patten said. “It’s great.” Work on the promenade and creek begins in earnest next year. Kracum said he will need unimpeded access to the base area seven days a week in the spring and fall of 2010 and 2011 to pull the massive project off in time. He requested that no special events be scheduled at the base area except between July and Labor Day, when the construction schedule will be scaled back to five days a week. “Next year there is no float in that schedule,” Kracum said. “It’s as tight as it can be.” — To reach Brandon Gee, call 367-7507 or e-mail bgee@steamboatpilot.com

In its first year, the tournament was a single-elimination, single-day event limited to eight teams. When the staff members at KFMU 104.1/105.5 FM decided to expand the event to two days and 16 teams, community participation and athletic rivalry exploded, Smith said. “About half the teams are there just to play kickball and have fun — it’s a kids’ game,” she said. “And the other half are really there to win it.” Kickoff for the first game is at 5:30 p.m. today at the ball fields at Howelsen Hill, and

Comedy, PG-13, 98 minutes

Sandra Bullock plays Mary Horowitz, a crossword puzzle constructor who, on a blind date, falls insanely in love with Steve, a TV news cameraman (Bradley Cooper, from “The Hangover”). The operative word is “insanely.” The movie is billed as a comedy but more resembles a perplexing public display of irrational behavior. Seeing her run around as a basket case makes you appreciate Lucille Ball, who could play a dizzy dame and make you like her. Rating: ★★

‘The Informant’ Comedy/thriller, R, 108 minutes

Matt Damon stars as the highest-ranking executive in U.S. history to blow the whistle in a case of corporate fraud. He exposed global price-fixing by Archer Daniels Midland, the Decatur, Ill., agribusiness conglomerate, after wearing an FBI wire for 30 months. Along the way, incidentally, he was embezzling $9 million for his own use, a detail he neglected to share with the FBI. Steven Soderbergh’s top-flight thriller, based on facts and shot on the original central Illinois locations, subtly becomes a human comedy. Rating: ★★★★

‘Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs’ Animated comedy, PG, 90 minutes

A 3-D animated comedy about a kid who invents a machine that will turn water into food. It goes wild, floods his island with food and attacks it with a spaghetti and meatballs tornado. Haven’t seen that before. Rating: ★★★

‘My One and Only’ Comedy, PG-13, 107 minutes

Appealing road comedy, set in the 1950s and inspired by a summer that set the course of George Hamilton’s life. The film belongs to Renee Zellweger, who ditches a womanizing husband (Kevin Bacon) and hits the road with her sons (Logan Lerman and Mark Rendall), hoping to find a new husband to support them. Basically upbeat, but Zellweger lets sadness and love show through her display of pluck, and the strong supporting actors include David Koechner, who gives young George some rather unexpected advice about women. Rating: ★★★★

Animation, PG-13, 79 minutes

A humanoid little rag doll comes to life and ventures fearfully into the devastation of a bombed-out cityscape. This figure, named 9, meets his similar predecessors, No. 1 through No. 8, and they find themselves in battle against a Transformerlike red-eyed monster called the Beast. This provides a pretext for an apocalyptic battle that is visually more interesting than, but as relentless as, similar allaction-all-the-time movies. This is a disappointment. Rating: ★★★

‘Ponyo’ Animated, G, 101 minutes

The word is “magical.” This poetic, breathtaking work by the greatest of all animators has such deep charm that adults and children will be touched. A goldfish becomes human and makes friends with a little boy, upsetting the balance between land and sea. With the voices of Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, Liam Neeson, Tina Fey and Frankie Jonas. Directed by the great Hayao Miyazaki. Rating: ★★★★

TONIGHT! TONIGHT! me & ed's music machine

��

‘Inglourious Basterds’ War drama, R, 152 minutes

A big, bold, audacious war movie that will annoy some, startle others and demonstrate once again that Quentin Tarantino is the real thing, a director of quixotic delights. Brad Pitt, Melanie Laurent and Christoph Waltz star as a hero, a girl and a Nazi in a virtuoso combination of action, droll satire, movie references, rewritten history and delight in filmmaking itself. Leave it to Tarantino to provide World War II with a much-needed alternative ending. For once the bastards get what’s coming to them. Rating: ★★★★

‘Julie & Julia’ Comedy, PG-13, 123 minutes

A frustrated Queens wife vows to write a blog about cooking her way through Julia Child’s “Mastering the Art of French Cooking,” 524 recipes in 365 days. The film shows the effect of culinary dedication on both women’s lives and marriages. Amy Adams and Meryl Streep are engaging, but really, is the price of total obsession worth paying for the cost of a perfect boeuf bourguignon? Rating: ★★★

Shakedown Street to play to the crowd on 2-night Steamboat run STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Shakedown Street drummer Jake Wolf jokes that he got into the Grateful Dead after being “sucker-punched in my stomach” by concerned family members. “I started seeing the Grateful Dead when I was 13, and I was dragged kicking and screaming by my cousin who listened to my mother when she said, ‘Look, we think he’s listening to crappy music, and you should take him to a Dead show,’” Wolf said, shuffling through his old Grateful Dead

concert stubs during a phone interview. The music didn’t catch on with Wolf at that first concert, but he kept going back. “The third time I went, I was in, I was hooked,” he said. Wolf plays with his band, the Grateful Dead tribute Shakedown Street, today and Saturday at Ghost Ranch Saloon, and he promises zero song repeats between the two nights. The shows start at 9 p.m.; admission is $10 at the door. This weekend’s lineup includes Wolf on drums, a new band member called “Stork” on bass, Joe Weisiger on keyboards, original band member

Band feeds off crowd Shakedown continued from 21 EXPLORE STEAMBOAT: How would you describe what Shakedown Street does? JAKE WOLF: It’s definitely a Grateful Dead tribute act, but in the sense that we’ve been validated over the years by members of the Grateful Dead playing with us. EXPLORE: What’s the band’s approach to covering Grateful Dead songs? JW: We definitely do it our own way. It’s funny, when we played with one of the guys from the Dark Star Orchestra … he said the fans we have gathered over the years are almost an anomaly in the Grateful Dead world, because typically Grateful Dead fans are incredibly picky about the way the songs go. But for Shakedown Street, people don’t come to our shows and expect note-for-note depictions. EXPLORE: What’s a typical night like? JW: We never have set lists — we always play to a feel and

go off what the crowd is feeling that night and kind of cater to them. We’re a band of the people, and I think that makes us stand out because people that go to see these other Dead acts, there’s not that camaraderie between the band and the fans that I’ve seen with Shakedown Street. EXPLORE: You’ve been playing drums for Shakedown Street for 12 years. After you got hooked on the Grateful Dead after seeing the band for the third time, how did you go from liking the band to playing its music? JW: I became — I had to get all the shows, (I was) taping shows, going to see as many shows as I could. … From that point, I had already been playing drums since I was a kid, and I started emulating these people who I’d grown up loving so much. … After college I came out to Colorado, and someone said, ‘Hey, you know Shakedown Street is looking for a drummer.’ … I was destined to get punched in the stomach, I guess.

Film reviews Reviews continued from 19 bachelor party in Las Vegas. Rating: ★★★★ — Roger Ebert

‘Fame’ Musical, PG, 104 minutes

“Fame,” the original “high school musical,” earns a sometimes toe-tapping remake that borrows scenes, situations and character “types” from its 1980 original. This “Fame” is a film without the guts to show Idolized America that, as Debbie Allen so memorably said way back when, “Fame costs, and right here’s where you start paying.” Rating: ★★

‘Sorority Row’ Thriller, R, 99 minutes

A darkly humorous morality tale about sorority sisters who play a prank, see it go horribly wrong and then cover up the

crime out of misguided “sisterhood” and “loyalty,” “Sorority Row” gets by on snarky sorority girls, sassy talk and shivering dread — the sound of a tire iron, the murder weapon in the crime, dragging down cinder block walls and across concrete floors. Rating: ★★

‘Whiteout’ Thriller, R, 97 minutes

What “whiteout” refers to, in this indifferent thriller (starring Kate Beckinsale) based on a grittier comic book, is that dark, wind-whipped blizzard that can blind you in the world’s snowiest places. For all its frozen blood, assaults with ice axes and killer weather, “Whiteout” turns out to be only a pale imitation of the thriller it might have been. Rating: ★★ — Roger Moore, MCT

He bought For more substances not Suspect charged unusual to a Thursday in NYC store like the See page 31 Beauty Supply Wa r e h o u s e , where clairoxide is sold to color hair and acetone to remove nail polish. Now, investigators into a New York terrorism plot say the man

employees say they saw — 24year-old Najibullah Zazi — and others bought large quantities of the chemicals in July and August with plans to detonate homemade bombs on New York City commuter trains. The allegation that Zazi was trying to stock up on bomb materials at beauty stores in this suburban city has rattled residents, who are surprised the products could have formed the basis for a bomb to attack the United States. Michael Abeyta, 41, lives in an apartment complex near the Beauty Supply Warehouse, which is housed in an old skating rink several miles east of downtown Denver. “That’s 50 feet from my

home,” he said. “It’s just scary that they can buy that stuff here. Hydrogen peroxide can be used for a few things. I didn’t think bombs was one of them.” Zazi, an immigrant from Afghanistan and permanent U.S. resident, appeared in a Denver courtroom on a count of lying to terrorism investigators. A hearing was set for today on the terrorism charge, which was brought in New York, where federal officials want to move his case. FBI agents have said Zazi told them he received explosives and weapons training from al-Qaida during a trip to Pakistan last year. Zazi, who was arrested Saturday in Denver, has denied any links to terrorism.

The wind power business will grow at a slower pace, buffeted by stiff competition from Europe and China, unless Congress approves climate change legislation, global industry leaders said Thursday.

Coffman files ethics complaint State representative accuses attorney of violating standards DENVER

Colorado Rep. Mike Coffman has filed a complaint against an attorney representing an ethics watchdog group, saying she misrepresented the findings of an ethics commission. In a letter to the state Supreme Court, Coffman accused attorney Chantell Taylor of wrongly claiming a state commission found that he “technically violated state law” when he was secretary of state. “I think there are ethical standards lawyers have to follow and Ms. Taylor clearly violated those standards,” Coffman said Thursday. A court official did not return a call to confirm he had received the complaint, which was mailed Wednesday. Taylor said the quotes from the commission’s findings were accurate, and she said Coffman’s complaint could have a chilling effect on anyone who thinks they have grounds for a complaint.

Suspicious package leads to bus station evacuation DENVER

A bus station across the street from the federal courthouse where a Colorado terrorism suspect appeared Thursday was evacuated because of a suspicious package. An employee in the Greyhound station’s mailroom found the package at about 8 a.m., said Michael Timlin, district manager for Greyhound. Police cleared the station by 8:30 and closed four city blocks to traffic. About three dozen passengers were waiting outside a Ritz Carlton hotel for a new bus.

G-20 may be near agreement Geithner: Partners have reached basic deal on bankers’ pay Tom Raum

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PITTSBURGH

Struggling with a contentious issue, world leaders have reached basic agreement on limiting the bonuses of bankers whose risky behavior contributed to the global financial meltdown, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Thursday at a summit of the world’s largest economies. In the streets outside, protesters tussled with police on the opening day. At a news conference, Geithner also expressed optimism that summit partners would endorse the broad outlines of a U.S. proposal to deal with huge imbalances in the global economy such as large trade surpluses in China and record budget deficits in the United States. He also said the U.S. supports China’s efforts to gain greater voting rights in the International Monetary Fund over the reservations of European nations, who would lose influence. Given the rise of China’s economic powers, “it’s the right thing,” and Europe recognizes that, Geithner said. World leaders descended on

the comeback city of Pittsburgh to debate how to nurture a recovering but still-wobbly global economy. Nerves are still on edge, but this sumGeithner mit of the world’s 20 leading economies seems free of the crisis atmosphere that hung over the past two — despite the clashes between protesters and police. The treasury secretary said the G-20 countries had reached a consensus on the “basic outline” of a proposal to limit bankers’ compensation by the end of this year. He said it would involve setting separate standards in each of the countries and would be overseen by the Financial Stability Board, an international group of central bankers and regulators. Until now, European countries had pressed harder than the U.S. for limits. “We want to have very strong standards to limit the risks that compensation practices” encourage, Geithner said. The issue of compensation has been one of the more difficult ones facing the summit.

Summit’s a big deal, but may not help Pittsburgh Ted Anthony

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PITTSBURGH

The images seem contradictory, somehow: A town with a vibrant, textured story to tell welcomes the world — and the once-in-a-generation opportunity to raise its profile — by turning itself into a phantom-zone fortress of boarded-up storefronts, roadblocks and big men with big guns. Pittsburgh strode into the global spotlight this week like many of its brethren in the age of the multinational event — economic summits, political conventions, Olympics — with confidence that, after the leaders quit town and the barricades come down, the good effects will stick around and keep making a difference. The modern global event blows into town like a cyclone, upending everything in its path in the name of 12, 24, maybe 36 hours of Very Important Stuff. Local leaders welcome the economic infusion and prestige. Entire communities become scenery for a calibrated performance. But after the world moves on, does something like a G-20 summit do a place any good in the long run? Sometimes. In Dayton, Ohio, good things happened for years after the Bosnian peace accords

came to town. But Malta, after the horrible weather of the 1989 Bush-Gorbachev summit billed as the meeting that ended the Cold War? Not so much. And Olympic towns that put tens of millions into construction so they can host two weeks of global competition have struggled after the athletes and media go home. “It’s a challenge for any community. ... It’s whatever people see in it,” said R. Bruce Hitchner, founder and director of a nongovernmental organization called the Dayton Project. It was organized to promote peace after the 1995 Bosnian peace negotiations were held in the western Ohio city. The question of impact is not insignificant. From Turin, Italy, to Nagano, Japan, from Los Cabos, Mexico, to Reykjavik, Iceland, communities spend millions to be ready when the big-time visitors come and to leverage them after they leave. No figures exist as to how exactly big events cost or benefit cities, but the economic stakes couldn’t be higher. That’s also why the specter of violent protesters makes cities so jittery. No one wants the name of their town to become synonymous with a negative event — the stigma of “Chicago 1968,” for example, echoes into the 21st century.

Europeans in particular pressed for strict limits on salaries and bonuses for executives of financial institutions to keep them from being rewarded for the risky practices that contributed to the financial crisis. “Europeans are horrified by banks, some reliant on taxpayers’ money, once again paying exorbitant bonuses,” said European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso. Insisting “this is not a witch-hunt against bankers.”

For the first time, an experimental vaccine has prevented infection with the AIDS virus, a watershed event in the deadly epidemic and a surprising result. Recent failures led many scientists to think such a vaccine might never be possible. The World Health Organization and the U.N. agency UNAIDS said the results “instilled new hope” in the field of HIV vaccine research, though researchers say it likely is many years before a vaccine might be available. The vaccine — a combination of two previously unsuccessful vaccines — cut the risk of becoming infected with HIV by more than 31 percent in the world’s largest AIDS vaccine trial of more than 16,000 volunteers in Thailand, researchers announced Thursday in Bangkok. Even though the benefit is

modest, “it’s the first evidence that we could have a safe and effective preventive vaccine,” Col. Jerome Kim said. He helped lead the study for the U.S. Army, which sponsored it with the National Institute of

Terrorism suspect charged THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK

An Afghan immigrant plotted for more than a year to detonate homemade bombs in the United States, had recently bought bomb-making supplies from beauty supply stores and was looking for “urgent” help in the past two weeks to make explosives, an indictment charged Thursday. Najibullah Zazi — a 24-yearold airport shuttle driver who authorities said received explosives and weapons training from al-Qaida during a trip to Pakistan last year — was charged in New York with conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction. His arrest in Denver a week ago on charges that he lied to terrorism investigators sparked home and business searches in New York and Denver, as well as a flurry of national warnings of

possible bomb attacks on transit, sports and entertainment complexes. Authorities hadn’t determined a time and place of a possible attack, and Attorney General Eric Holder said in Washington, “We believe any imminent threat arising from this case has been disrupted.” Counterterrorism agents have said they feared Zazi and others might have been planning to detonate homemade bombs on New York City commuter trains. The two-page indictment of Zazi — who appeared in a Denver court Thursday — offers few details, but a separate document — a government motion seeking to deny bail — lays out evidence gathered by investigators. The airport shuttle driver began plotting to “use one or more weapons of mass destruction” between Aug. 1, 2008, and September 2009 against the United States, the papers say.

The document says that on Sept. 6 and 7, Zazi tried to communicate with another individual “seeking to correct mixtures of ingredients to make explosives.” “Each communication,” the papers say, was “more urgent than the last.” On those days, Zazi rented a suite at a hotel in his hometown of Aurora, authorities charge. The room had a kitchen, and subsequent FBI testing for explosives and residue in the suite found the presence of residue in the vent above the stove. In July and August, Zazi bought unusually large amounts of hydrogen peroxide and acetone — a solvent commonly found in nail polish remover — from beauty supply stores in the Denver metropolitan area, the document says. He searched the Internet for home improvement stores in Queens before driving a rental car for a two-day trip to the city, the document says.

Feds probe Census worker hanging Jeffrey Mcmurray and Devlin Barrett THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MANCHESTER, KY.

When Bill Sparkman told retired trooper Gilbert Acciardo that he was going door-to-door collecting census data in rural Kentucky, the former police officer drew on years of experience for a warning: “Be careful.” The 51-year-old Sparkman was found this month hanged from a tree near a cemetery with the word “fed” scrawled on his chest, a law enforcement official said Wednesday, and the FBI is investigating whether he was a victim of anti-government sentiment.

The law enforcement official, who was not authorized to discuss the case and requested anonymity, did not say what type of instrument was used to write the word on the chest of Sparkman, who was supplementing his income doing Census field work. He was found Sept. 12 in a remote patch of Daniel Boone National Forest. State police said Thursday that the cause of death was asphyxiation. State police said in a statement that he was found with a rope around his neck that was tied to a tree, but that he was “in contact with the ground.” Capt. Lisa Rudzinski, commander of the Kentucky State Police post in

London, said authorities have not been able to determine whether it was an accidental death, suicide or homicide. “Even though he was with the Census Bureau, sometimes people can view someone with any government agency as ‘the government.’ I just was afraid that he might meet the wrong character along the way up there,” said Acciardo, who directs an after-school program at an elementary school where Sparkman was a frequent substitute teacher. The Census Bureau has suspended door-to-door interviews in rural Clay County, where the body was found, until the investigation is complete, an official said.

UN council OKs broad nuclear agenda Obama-led resolution seeks to drastically limit, then eliminate atomic weapons Charles J. Hanley THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

UNITED NATIONS

��

With President Barack Obama presiding, the U.N. Security Council on Thursday unanimously endorsed a sweeping strategy aimed at halting the spread of nuclear weapons and ultimately eliminating them, to usher in a world with “undiminished security for all.” “That can be our destiny,” Obama said after the 15-nation body adopted the historic, U.S.-initiated resolution at an

unprecedented summit session. “We will leave this meeting with a renewed determination to achieve this shared goal.” The lengthy document was aimed, in part, at the widely denounced nuclear programs of Iran and North Korea, although they were not named. It also reflected Obama’s ambitious agenda to embrace treaties and other agreements leading toward a nuclear weapon-free world, some of which is expected to encounter political opposition once he’s back

in Washington. On both counts, Thursday’s 15-0 vote delivered a global consensus — countries ranging from Britain to China to Burkina Faso — that may add political impetus to dealing with nuclear violators, advancing arms control in international forums and winning support in the U.S. Congress. “This is a historic moment, a moment offering a fresh start toward a new future,” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said, saluting the first such

Security Council gathering of presidents and premiers to deal with nuclear nonproliferation. The 2,300-word document did not authorize any concrete actions, but it urged action on a long list of proposals before the international community. It called for negotiation of a treaty banning production of fissile material for nuclear bombs and establishment of internationally supervised nuclear fuel banks, to keep potential bomb material out of more hands — both items on Obama’s agenda.

include kidnapping and murder, and some were awaiting sentencing, the officer said. At least one — a 19-year-old inmate — was recaptured early Thursday, and the others remained at large. A full-scale curfew was imposed on the city of 250,000 after the escape and eased before sundown on Thursday. Soldiers, however, expanded checkpoints and displayed wanted posters with photos of the fugitives. Military units also sharpened their watch on Iraq’s borders — particularly the western frontier with Syria — as the dragnet widened across sparsely populated

regions outside Tikrit. Iraq’s prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, recently has boosted his claims that Syria continues to harbor Iraqi insurgents. On Thursday, al-Maliki said chances were “nearly hopeless” to resolve disputes with Syria about claims it’s providing refuge for Saddam loyalists blamed for bombings in August that killed about 100 people in Baghdad. Iraqi Interior Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Abdul-Karim Khalaf would not comment on the inmates’ possible links to alQaida, saying only that some of the escaped convicts are considered “dangerous.”

Iraq prison break triggers extensive manhunt Brian Murphy

U.S. aircraft and Iraqi patrols combined in a massive manhunt Thursday after the escape of 16 prisoners — including five al-Qaida-linked inmates awaiting execution — who apparently crawled through a bathroom window in a makeshift jail on a former compound of Saddam Hussein. The jailbreak in Saddam’s hometown Tikrit highlighted the struggles for Iraqi authorities to maintain control of an overcrowded prison system and

absorb thousands of detainees turned over by U.S. forces as part of a broad security pact. At least two senior officials were fired after the late Wednesday escape. Few details on the fugitives were provided by Iraqi security chiefs. But five were Iraqis who were sentenced to death for terrorism-related crimes and links to al-Qaida in Iraq, a Tikrit police officer said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the operation with media.

Pakistan unlikely to help US Afghanistan’s neighbor has wavered about targeting militants ISLAMABAD

Pakistan’s doubts about U.S. commitment to the Afghan war make it less likely to cooperate in targeting Taliban commanders said to be directing the insurgency across the border. Pakistan has been ambivalent about the militants, sometimes trying to enlist them as potential allies in case they take control again in neighboring Afghanistan — a prospect many here think is getting closer. This country’s role in the war is in sharp focus as President Barack Obama publicly questions the strategy he pushed last winter of building up U.S. forces in Afghanistan to fight a revitalized Taliban. The top U.S commander recently warned that NATO could lose the war. Searching for alternatives to sending still more troops, the

White House is now considering a strategy championed by Vice President Joe Biden that focuses on stepped-up missile attacks by unmanned U.S. drones against al-Qaida and Taliban targets on the Pakistani side of the border. To be effective, such attacks require Pakistani intelligence. The Pakistanis are thought to have withheld intelligence for years about key suspects in the Afghan Taliban, but the U.S. has been making progress in recent months securing their cooperation against certain targets. Although many of these militants were primarily trying to overthrow the Pakistani government, some also had close ties with fighters in Afghanistan. More than 70 such attacks have killed scores of ranking militant commanders since last year, including Baitullah

Mehsud, the leader of the Pakistani Taliban. On Thursday, a missile strike near the town of Mir Ali in North Waziristan killed four people, Pakistani officials said. The Pakistani government routinely issues statements of protest, even though these strikes widely are thought to take place with its support. U.S. and NATO officials have long believed that much of the direction, manpower, money and weapons fueling the Afghan insurgency comes from across the border in Pakistan — particularly Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar, who is thought to be based close to the city of Quetta in Baluchistan province, and the network commanded by Siraj Haqqani in the Waziristan tribal areas. American officials and many analysts allege that Pakistan’s powerful spy agency is either protecting, tolerating or supporting those groups because they do not pose a direct threat to the Pakistani state.

Palau creates first shark sanctuary John Heilprin

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

UNITED NATIONS

The tiny Pacific nation of Palau is creating the world’s first shark sanctuary, a biological hotspot to protect Great Hammerheads, Leopard Sharks, Oceanic Whitetip Sharks and more than 130 other species fighting extinction in the Pacific Ocean. But with only one boat to patrol 240,000 square miles of Palau’s newly protected waters — including its exclusive economic zone, or EEZ, that extends 200 miles from its coastline — enforcement of the new measure could be almost like swimming against the tide. Palau’s president, who is to announce the news to the United Nations General Assembly today, acknowledges the difficulty of patrolling ocean waters nearly the size of Texas or France with a single boat. But he hopes others will respect Palauan territorial waters — and that the shark haven inspires

more such conservation efforts globally. “Palau will declare its territorial waters and extended economic zone to be the first officially recognized sanctuary for sharks,” Palauan President Johnson Toribiong said Thursday. Shark fishing has grown rapidly since the mid-1980s, driven by a rising demand — mainly in China — for shark fin soup, a highly prized symbol of wealth. Because of their long life spans and low fertility rates, sharks are vulnerable to overfishing. Within its EEZ, a nation may regulate fisheries and scientific research and develop other economic efforts. The U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization estimates more than half of highly migratory sharks are overexploited or depleted. Toribiong said a recent flyover by Australian aircraft showed more than 70 vessels fishing Palau’s waters, many of them illegally. “We’ll do the very best we

can, given our resources,” he said. “The purpose of this is to call attention to the world to the killing of sharks for commercial purposes, including to get the fins to make shark fin soups, and then they throw the bodies in the water.” Tourists go to Palau for its spectacular diving in the tropical waters, dramatic coral and rich marine life. The remote Pacific nation recently made global headlines when it agreed to President Barack Obama’s request to take a group of Uighurs — Turkic Muslims from China’s far western Xinjiang region — as part of plans to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center. Palau is one of the world’s smallest countries, with some 20,000 people scattered across 190-square-mile archipelago. Its shark sanctuary will shelter more than 135 Western Pacific species of sharks and rays considered endangered or vulnerable, or for which there is not enough data to determine how the species is faring.

It might seem logical to go ahead and pencil in a 4-0 record next to the Soroco football team. Yes, the Rams haven’t even made the six-hour trek to the small southwest Colorado town for tonight’s game. But Soroco’s win last season was so decisive — 57-20 in Oak Creek — that it seems like a few points might even carry over. Not so fast, Rams coach David Bruner said Thursday. He said Soroco has improved a great deal in the past 12 months, but the team it will take on tonight has nothing but the color of the uniforms in common with the squad that limped away from Oak Creek in 2008. “They’re a totally different team,” Bruner said. “Coaches I’ve talked to say they don’t even look like the same program. They’re about 100 times better.” The numbers bear it out. Winners of one game all of last season, Nucla is already 3-0. The drastic change in com-

Veterans forge bonds in Broncos secondary THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ENGLEWOOD

Josh McDaniels’ decision to blow up the Denver Broncos’ porous secondary and rebuild it through an influx of free agents has benefited the team through tighter coverage and a tightening bond among its defensive backs. The first-year Broncos coach brought in safeties Brian Dawkins and Renaldo Hill, along with cornerback Andre

NFL Goodman, leaving eight-time Pro Bowl cornerback Champ Bailey, who was injured much of last season, as the lone holdover. The foursome has a combined 42 years of NFL experience playing for 11 teams but the group has come together to be at the center of Denver’s defensive turnaround in the

opening weeks of the season. Going into Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders, the Broncos, who allowed 448 points last season and ranked at or near the bottom of virtually every major defensive category, lead the league in scoring defense (6.5 points per game). They also have the AFC’s best turnover ratio, generating five takeaways (three interceptions and

two fumbles) to one giveaway (fumbled kickoff). Dawkins, who became one of the league’s premier safeties during his first 13 seasons, all in Philadelphia, said the communication among the secondary, from practice to adjustments made in the heat of a game have been central to the unit’s budding chemistry and solidified play. “The communication back there is some of the best that I have been a part of,” Dawkins

said. “The way that we talk in the back end makes the game that much easier. Each one of us, we each study film and we may pick up different things throughout the course of a week. If one of us sees something, we let everybody else know and correct things on the sideline. “That is one of the things that people don’t realize.

games with Eagle Valley, and there is certainly some intrigue with today’s game. Four years ago, Steamboat’s lone loss in the regular season came against a playoffless Eagle Valley team, at Steamboat’s Gardner Field. Two years ago, Steamboat needed a long touchdown pass as time ran out to sneak out of Eagle Valley with a win, and last season, the two teams went to the final quarter in a tight battle before Steamboat got the win. The Devils’ four losses have come against some of the top teams in the state. Eagle Valley lost to the Class 2A reigning state champion in Olathe, and the Class 3A reigning state champion, Glenwood Springs.

cates.” Maybe the Delta game two weeks ago was the best thing that happened to Steamboat. There, the team got up early before Delta stormed back and competed until the very end. “Delta was our biggest lesson when it comes to overlooking a team,” quarterback Austin Hinder said. “We came into Delta thinking we were going to kill this team. We came in with that attitude and we almost got beat.” As usual, today’s game will be a physical contest. Eagle Valley likes to run out of the double-wing formation,

with everyone packed within four yards of the line of scrimmage. Finch said preparing for that and controlling the line of scrimmage would be key for Steamboat to remain undefeated. “Eagle Valley is well coached, always has good athletes, they play hard and are always ready to play,” Finch said. “We remind ourselves of all those other things, but we’ve got to remain at the task at hand, and that’s Eagle Valley.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

Three minutes later, Sidney Van Horn beat a couple of Steamboat defenders and had a one-on-one situation with Birch, but the senior Steamboat keeper turned him away. The second 40 minutes, however, belonged to Steamboat. The Sailors had the run of play for most of the half but could never capitalize. The two best chances came from senior forward Grand Murray. In the 48th and 54th minutes, Murray found himself along the

right side with just the keeper to beat. The first time his shot sailed just above the crossbar, and the second time, Demons goalkeeper Carson Wilde deflected the short-side shot. Steamboat sophomore Enrique Lopez had an opportunity in the 65th that just trickled wide, before Sailors senior Sam Glaisher had two free kicks deflected away by Wilde in the 69th and 74th minutes.

Sailors rush past the Bulldogs In the first match-up of the season between longtime rivals, the Steamboat Springs High School varsity volleyball team was able to top Moffat County High School, 3-1, in Craig. The two teams were evenly matched Thursday night, but the visiting Sailors were able to defeat the Bulldogs in the first, third and fourth sets. Steamboat coach Wendy Hall said she was happy with the result. “Obviously, if we can get out of here with a win, it’s huge,” she said. “We’ve had a lot of battles with Moffat the last few years, so I’m happy with the win.” Getting there, however, was a bit rough. “I feel like we were a little sloppy tonight,” Hall said. “Moffat County was able to take advantage.” Making sure her team controls the ball before playing this weekend will be crucial for her team’s success. “We’ll be working on cleaning things up at practice,” she

said. “But, they were able to get it done and hang in there.” After the Sailors struggled Thursday, they were able to come back together. “They turned it around as a team,” Hall said. “That’s one of their strengths. They can carry each other, like they did tonight.” For the Bulldogs, several younger players got to experience the rivalry firsthand. Sophomore Annie Sadvar played in a few games as a freshman, but she said the Thursday

night game against the Sailors didn’t compare. “It was really exciting, especially at the end,” she said. “I was hoping we could pull through, but we did good.” Unlike the Saturday match against Glenwood Springs High School, Moffat County kept Steamboat close, and neither side was able to pull away. For sophomore Melissa Camilletti, the rivalry was everySee Volleyball, page 38

That was fitting. In a season that has seen draw after draw among top teams across the Western Slope League soccer-scape, Thursday’s Steamboat Springs and Glenwood Springs game again ended as a scoreless draw. The two high school teams have played each other twice this season and neither team has been able to breach the goal line in 180 minutes of soccer, including overtime. “Goodness,” Glenwood coach John Mount said. “We’ve got to make the goals bigger or something in this league to get a win. It’s just so even. These lowscoring games, with this league, everyone is so tight.” As with the first meeting, Sept. 8 in Glenwood, opportunities abounded on both sides. Each team had prime chances in the first 40 minutes to put the pressure on the other team. Steamboat’s best came in the first 10 minutes, when Brandon Marr couldn’t finish two headers right inside the Glenwood box. The Demons got a chance in the 16th minute, when Travis Whitman found Sailors keeper Connor Birch out of net. But Whitman’s shot sailed just wide.

Coach: Running game is key for Soroco against Nucla Soroco continued from 35

If you go

petitiveness came about because of a drastic change in coaches. Jeff Palmer took over the program and changed everything from the team’s practice routine to the positions played by long-established starters. The most troubling shift for the Rams will be Nucla’s transition of Eric Galarza to quarterback. A 220-pound junior, Galarza proved a capable tight end in 2008 who also occasionally got his hands on the ball as running back. Now that he’s a senior who touches the ball on every offensive down, he’s morphed into a sleep-depriving,

yard-gaining monster. “It’s natural for him,” Palmer said. “We gave him a little coaching and it was a natural fit.” He has averaged nearly 300 yards a game passing and running, and his presence behind center forced the Rams into a week of focus on their defense. Run defense has proven one of the team’s Achilles heels — Nucla has given up more than 550 yards rushing the past

two weeks. “It will be key that we stop the running game this week,” Bruner said. “We have been working on our defensive alignment. Hopefully they can’t get out of the gates and get running and we can shut them down.” Nucla, meanwhile, has quarterback worries of its own. Palmer said he hasn’t seen Soroco’s senior signal caller Cody Miles play — the team’s didn’t exchange tapes prior to the game — but he was in awe as he checked out his statistics. Miles accounted for 461 yards of offense last week alone and, for the second time this season, racked up seven touchdowns.

“Instead of just having a safety spy him, we’re going to have our fastest kid spy,” Palmer said. “Hopefully he can catch him because if not, there is going to be a lot of running room out there.” It all has the makings of an offensive slugfest. Soroco has averaged 44 points a game through its first three contests. Nucla has scored 41.3. “I don’t know if there’s going to be a whole lot of defense played, but sometimes those are the real fun games,” Palmer said. — To reach Joel Reichenberger, call 871-4253 or e-mail jreichenberger@steamboatpilot.com

Coach: 4 teams locked up King psyches out Bulldogs Soccer continued from 37 “At the end of the day, we feel good about the effort,” Steamboat coach Rob Bohlmann said. “We played some good soccer but just came up on the short end of the stick. “Their keeper came up big. It’s sometimes easier said than done scoring goals against a good team.” The tie did little to clear up the league picture. Steamboat went to 2-1-3 overall and 2-0-3 in league play, and Glenwood goes to 4-1-3 and 2-1-2. Battle Mountain is atop

thing she expected it to be. “It was a lot more competitive,” she said. “We had to work harder. But, it was fun because we had to play to our full potential.” Potential is how the setter would best describe her team. “I think we have the potential to be good, especially when we push ourselves,” she said. “What we sometimes do is psyche ourselves out when other teams come in.” One of the big reasons Moffat County was psyched out was senior Colleen King, Steamboat’s top player.

the league, having picked off Glenwood, 1-0, on Tuesday. Steamboat played Battle Mountain to a scoreless tie earlier in the season. Neither Steamboat nor Glenwood has played Eagle Valley, the other team in the league expected to battle for the top spot. “Seems to be the four teams locked up,” Mount said. “It happened last year, too. It’s good to see because I think it helps our league improve as a whole. We had some opportunities and so did they. It was good soccer.”

A state prosecutor criticized for failing to solve dozens of rapes and murders of women in his northern border state was confirmed Thursday as Mexico’s attorney general and leader of the nation’s war on vicious drug cartels. The Senate confirmed Arturo Chavez while a few dozen women protested outside. The demonstrators said Chavez didn’t do enough to catch those responsible for attacks on women when he was the top federal prosecutor and attorney general in the northern state of Chihuahua, one of Mexico’s bloodiest drug gang battlegrounds. The state, across the border from Texas, is home to Mexico’s deadliest city: Ciudad Juarez, which has had more than 1,600 homicides this year. Underscoring that bleak distinction, authorities said that after receiving a phone tip Thursday, police found three human heads along a highway near Ciudad Juarez and still were searching for the bodies. The state Attorney General’s Office said the heads were put in three coolers beside a roadside monument known as “The Seven Little Heads,” in memory of seven children killed in a traffic accident at that spot. The killers

Giant baby draws many to Indonesian hospital KISARAN, INDONESIA

Spectators flocked to an Indonesian hospital Friday for a glimpse of the country’s largest ever recorded baby — a 19.2-pound boy born by cesarean section to a diabetic mother. The delivery of Akbar Risuddin, or Risuddin the Great in Arabic, took 40 minutes and the operation was complicated because of his unusual weight and size. The mother and child were in good condition, Dr. Binsar Sitanggang said. Crowds hoping to get a peek of the extraordinary Indonesian boy, who measured nearly 24 inches when he was born Monday, gathered at the Abdul Manan hospital in the town of Kisaran, in the strictly Islamic province of North Sumatra. Risuddin’s extreme weight was the result of excessive glucose from his mother during pregnancy, the doctor said. Risuddin is the third child of father Muhammad Hasanuddin, 50, and mother Ani, 41, who like many Indonesian goes by

a single name. His two younger brothers weighed 11.6 pounds and 9.9 pounds at birth. The former Indonesian record holder was a 14.7-pound baby boy born on the outskirts of the capital, Jakarta, in 2007. Guinness World Records cites the heaviest baby as being born in the U.S. in 1879, weighing 23.75 pounds. However, it died 11 hours after birth. The book also cites 22.5-pound babies born in Italy in 1955 and in South Africa in 1982.

Venezuela to fine networks that air ‘Family Guy’ series CARACAS, VENEZUELA

Venezuelan authorities plan to impose fines on cable television companies that refuse to stop airing the animated television series “Family Guy.” Justice Minister Tareck El Aissami says the program should be pulled from the airwaves because it promotes the use of marijuana. El Aissami was outraged by a recent episode in which the show’s characters started a campaign to legalize marijuana. He said Thursday that cable networks that broadcast “Family Guy” would be fined by Venezuela’s telecommunications regulator if they refuse to dump the program.
