Iheprcposedfour-daywo*weekwould enablepeopletogotowo*in 10 hourshifB, instead of Shour,fivedapperweelgto helpcutbadongasspentfot commuting. Analyss say the danges would also help rcduce meryy use and o6on emissions.

Lawmakeru mull long weekendByTARAMOBERLYtmoberlyomscd.edu

Colleges, government agenciesand businesses across the nationarc taking Friday off, in an effort toslash energy bills and save money ongasoline.

Supporters of the compressedfour-day work week believe it will re-duce enerry costs, carbon emissionsand give corrunuters some relief fromhigh gas prices.

The new schedule has employeesworking ten hours, four days a week,instead of the traditional ffvedaveight-hour week.

Colorado state employees couldbe joining the list of those workingcompressed work weeks. RepublicanRep, Don Marostica announced plans

July 15 to inhoduce a measure nextsession to adopt the fourday week forstate employees.

Marostica said he decided to pushfor the fourday week after lookingat dillerent ways to cut energ/ costs.While the new plan will save the stat€energ/ costs, it will benefit emploleeseven more.

"The real savings is in the two tofour gallons of gas employees will savedriving to work," Marostica said.

Feedback from state employeeshas been positive, with some eventelling Marostica they are open toworking three 1 2-hour days,

The fourday week will be one of

the first bills he introduces when thelegislature reconvenes in January,Marostica said he is unconcernedwith how the bill gets passed, so longas it does.

"It's just good for the state of Col-orado." he said.

Colorado would follow Utah inadopting the shortened week.

Utah Gov. Jim Huntsman passedan order that will gire state employ-ees Fridays off. The "Work 4 Utah"initiative kicks off Aug. 4.

The initiative is part of Hunts-man's larger goal to reduce energyuse 16,7 prcent by 2015.

Shldies project the compressedworkwcek will save state employeesS3OO - $4OO on gas annually, ac-cording to Kimberb Hood, executivedirector of the Utah Departnent ofAdminishative Services. Huntsmanalso requested employees rxe altema-tlrc transportation at least one day aweek.

The plan will save the state $3rnillion a year in elergy costs.

The environment will also benefitby reducing the amount of carbondioxide in the ozone by 3,300 metrictons, which is equal to taking 612cars from the road each year.

"Working 4 Utah" will be re-viewed after a one lcar period,

For those who have had the short-ened workweek in place long enough0o se€ r€sults, unforeseen benefits

have accompanied the proiected sav-rngs.

"In a time of penny-pinching,the four{ay work week has providedmuch-needed relief for Brevard Com-munity College and its employees, Ithas proven to be cost effective. savingthe college more than $267,000 inelecficity exllenses in the past yearand reducir:g employ'ees' work-relat-ed fuel expenses by 2O percent," said

Jin Ross, vice president of BrevardCommunity College in Cocoa, Fla.

Brevard Community College testedthe shortened week for eight rareela dur-ing the 2OO7 summer. After emplo5aesand students voice their apprwal, theshortened week was then continued inthe fall and spring semesters.

"It has also boosted employeemorale, reduced employee turnoverand sick leave and attracted more jobapplicants to college," Ross said of theshortened week.

In the year following Brevard'sinitial test, employees used sick hours50 percent less, while annual stallturnover dmpped 44 percent.

Brevard's job applicant pool alsogrew 5l percent a.Iter the college ad-opted the shortened week.

Hood said he believes that Utah'scompressed work week will see thesame kind of benefits. A study con-ducted by Brigham Young Unftersityin Salt Lake City supports the ideathat a shortened work week has posF

tive effects on employee morale.Utah plans to higl ight the com-

pressed workweek in recruiting job

applicants,Metro spokeswoman Catherine

Lucas said the compressed schedulehas not been considered for the col-lege because 90 percent of studentswork full or part-time.

. "In fact, we're looking at ways toentice students to take classes Friday,Saturday and even Sunday In addi-tion to great classroom availability,there's better parking and less traf-fic,"Lucassaid..

More than 12,000 students tookclass Monday through Thursday dur-ing the previous two semesters. En-mllment drop@ to less than 3,OOOon Fridays. Sahuday enrollnentdropped to less than 2,OOO for boths€mesters.

On Sundays, fewer than IOO Met-ro studenb wer€ienrolled in classes atAuraria.

Post -911\ Gl Bill benefits veteransNew billwillgiveadditional tuitionmoney to [email protected]

Veteran Metro students will re-ceive college tuition and living ex-pense help from the,Post-9/11 GIBill, signed on June 3O but not effec-tive until the fall 2009.

The requiremenis to qualify forthe benefits of the bill are set ftomthe length of time served to how theservice member was discharged-

Soldiers enlisted in the armedforces after Sept. 10, 2001. will beable to seek higher education for cer-tain periods of time across the coun-try.

Monthly rat€s for service mem-bers of Chapter 30 and 1607, whichhave an honorable discharge, willhave an increase whereas those of1606. the Select Reserve, will beeligible until they separate from theservice.

Reservists who are not deployedand stay stateside will receive theirregular salary.

The GI Bill will pay tuition at thehighest public institution rate in thestate with a $1,000 per year bookstipend.

The amount of living money willbe based upon the ffi code of theschool.

All schools in the Denver metroarea will receive $1,285 monthly forliving expenses.

Thougb this amount is less thanthey get now for living expenses,they won't have to put any towardtuition.

' Metro has more than 500 veter-

ans irtilizing the GI Bill from Chapters 30, 1606 and 1607.

Though changes come annuallyto GI Bills, the Post-9/l1 GI Bill is thefust maior change to the Chapter 30benefits.

Commulity colleges nationwidefear a significant <lrop in their atten-dance because of the bill, but JanetMaestas, of Veteran Services at Au-raria, predicts a dilTerent outcome.

"Some of our veterans need tostart at community college to getthe skills thar they need to go on to afour-year college," Maestas said.

Maestas. who lobbies for vet€r-

ans' education in Washitrgton, D.C.,is always questioned about where theexpenses will be taken from.

"There is a price tag attached toeverything, and I'm surprised thispassed actually," Maestas said.

Leroy Chavez, proiect director ofthe Veterans Upward Bound Depart-ment at Meho, is pleased to see the GIbill go througb.

Chavez is not worried wherethe money to support the bill comesfrom.

The Post-9/11 Veterans Educa-tional Assistance Act of 2008 is partol H.B. 2642, the Supplemental Ap-propriations Act - the war supple-mental, Chavez said.

The $63 billion over the next de-cade will come through appropria-tions and war funding from the Sen-ate's approval before the president

signed the bill into action.Chavez and Maestas want to

specify the bill rvill not be active untilAugust of next year.

VolwttoercforAn eriu,ByANDRIW [email protected]

The truth is, I went to Costa Rica to visita friend and relax on the beach.

It was July, the beginning of the rainy sea-son - when water only pours down from thesky in the aftemoons and not all day - a timewhen the beachb were said to be near emptyof toudsts and the flights were more allord-able. I had chosen the timing for pwely selfishreasons: I wanted a beach all to myself,

And there were few tourists ... at least.the typical kind.

Traveling by bus from San Iose dor .n tothe south-western coast I saw only one ortwo other gringos. In Dominical, known as abustling zurfer paradise during the high sea-son, I was happy to find the dirt roads nearlydeserted with more dogs and chickens run-ning around than people.

As I walked out onto the empty beachand threw my towel dowrr not far fromthe crashing waves, I reveled in the idea ofspending the next week doing next to noth-ing.

The small Central-American counFymight be famous for its rain forests, cloud-

shrouded active volcanoes, fl.ora and fauna,but I was more interest€d in the sun, surfand rum-based beverages.

To my embarrassment, when I finallygot up off my beach towel and ventured intothe lush hills inland, I found that some peo..ple spend their vacations doing somethingmore than swaying in hammocks. I founda jungJe tearning with more than just mon-keys and exotic birds, Elerywhere I wentthere were groups of working gringos.

When spring comes and the droves ofsunbumed surfers and other beach dwellersmigrate back to their homes in the northernclimes, a rare breed of tourist begins to appear in Costa Rica.

The educational tourist, the strange indi-vidual who enjoys spending vacations learn-inglocal languages, working on sustainableorganic farms, studying the jungle's endlessbiodiversity. anives often in late spring orearly summer in time for harvest season be-fore the heavy rains begin. Most spend twoto three weeks, many only several days andsome stay as long as six months. In returnfor uzually four, six to eight hour workdays,the eco-volunteer gets cheap rent (often $ 1O

to $20 a night) and all the knowledge aboutthe lungle they can absorb.

"Sustainability at Pura Suerte meansworking in concert with our environment toprovide for all of our needs," said DrenclenFlahive. owner of Pu::a Suerte. a l5O acrefarm in Ia Florita near Dominical. Studentslearn hands-on about reforestation, organicperrraculture, fruit orchards and haditionalhopical agriculture. Flahive said in the lastcouple years the interest in such volunteer,prograrns has grown a lot, "Every decisionwe make, from our approach to organic gar-dening and reforestation, _to our buildingsand resource mdnagement, aims to have abeneficial elTect on our local ecology, andpeople everywhere are starting to realizehow important these ideas are."

Max Mohtrose, a student at Regis Uni-versiry in Denver who volunteered at thePura Suerte farm. said snakes have fascinat-ed him since he was a child and he came toCosta Rica because it has some 130 species.

"The whole ecolory shrff and sustain-able farming is interesting," Max Mohtrosesaid. "But I came for the snakes ... I've al-ready seen tlree on my list. "

Iong-time Denver activist Glenn .Spagnuolo co-founded R68 andspearheads the grouy's efforts. Span-guolo has most recently been involvedwith disrupting recent Denver Colum-bus Day parades. This information isavailable online as nrell as where theR68 group meeb- Thursday eveningsat the Gypsy House Caft.

I wdlked into the basement of thecoffte house and saw about 2 0 peoplesitting around on chairs and couchesin a circle talking to one another inhushed tones. I sat next to a youngcouple who engaged me in con€r-sation even after identifying myselfas a rcporter. But when we began togo around the circle and say who weuTsre things got ugly

There was anotler reporter therefrom the Wesfiiord, who immediatelyapologized for his story that had runin the "Stateman' criticizing thegroup and associating their effortswith drug use. Some of the peoplehad no idea what he was talkingabout but others did and there was

ROEERT [email protected]

a brief discussion as to whether thisreporter should stay, He was allowedto stay. Then it was my turn.

I identiffed myself as Rob andpaused, taken back by the warm re-ception the other reporter had beengiven I was unsure if I wanted toidentify myself as a reporter. And asthe lady next to rne took it as a cueto continue, ethics took over and Istood up addressing the group as astudent reporter and a lournalismstudent at Meao.

I was irnmediateb asked il I wouldbe quoting anything. Not uoless Icould interview someone I said. WasI tapins arything or was I wired? Noand no. I hied my best to smooth out

wrists ina.group of sharks.the room and assure them I was cml.But announcing myself as a r€p,ortertothis group felt like I hadslit my wristsin a group of sharts, All of a zudden,they could smell me and fhe two peo-ple I had been easily coruersing withnow arzoided Ele contact with me andshifted uncorrlortably in their seatsoeating as much distance as possible.I sat down srareating despite the manyoscillating fans and AC.

The night's agenda was writtenon a dry erase board. flalf a dozenpeople tallad about concerts and se-cret camps being held over the nextfew weeks and handed out flJiers.

then it was Spagnuolo's turn.He sat in the big blue velvet couchagainst the r,vall and had been whis-pering with the people around himjotting things down in a notebook.He stopped and adilressed the group

with his eyes ffrst. He was pissed.

Apparen$ last week's media hain-ing had been a disaster with only acouple of people showing up, Andthat evening's message was clear- do

not talk to the media unless you havereceived the proper haining, thusfurther crippling any chance I hadfor an interview. But I had so manyquQttions I wanted to ask like, howis it possible to organize people whoare encouraged to have their ownagenda? And did they eryect people

coming in hom out of state to help?But a more pressing question at thatmoment was why were the two re-porters being asked to leave the meet-ing? Although, I was told they wouldlet me know when I could come backdown. As we walked up the stairs theother reporler told me they were dis-cussing sfrategy and rve may leak it .out, so not to hold my breath. He haddone this before. I waited for an hourand then left.

n€create 68 wants to use the power

of the people and from all the media at-tention gh/en to the group,I was o<pect-ing a packed house of tg&ed up radi-cals €r(cit€d to go out and change thesyst€m. But $'hat I found was a gr,oup

Fewfans of this Saturday Night live legend may beaware that Hartman - who was shot to death by his wifein 1998 - co-wrote the script for the classic movie "Pee-weet Big Adventure"(1985), which was directed byTimBurton. The other writer was Paul Reubens, a.k.a. Pee-weeHerman, who went on to become perhaps best known forhis unfortunate indiscretions at an adult movie theater.

DIDY0U f,ll0l{ I

Meho head coach fennifer Fishercouldn't hdve chosen a better squadto represent the school's first softballteam.'

The Roadrunners completed asuccessful season with a list of ac-claimed accomplishments. The teamfinished with a 32- 18 record, good forsecond place in the Roclry MountainAtbletic Conference. The team took. fourth place in the RMAC Tourna-ment, an impressive feat for a teamwith no postseason experience. Thestat category shined for Metro as theyled the nation in home runs (79) anddoubles (103), while putting up bignumbers in per game numbers with1.58 home runs per game and 2,06doubles per contest.

While the team played well to-gether in their 6rst season, a few in-dividuals stood out among the rest.Desigriated hitter Ashley fohnson ledthe team with 16 home runs, whilesecond baseman Sarah Rusch had 18doubles.

Nobody believed in this new,

]'oung team. I, for one, was one ofthose people. They were picked by11 RMAC coaches to finish fourthin the East Division. I'll be honestand tell you as I sat down at the veryfirst game I attended in Westminsteragainst the University of Mary, thefirst thing I did r,r'as take a peek at theroster. I saw what every other softballcoach in the conference saw in Met-ro's team, a squad full of freshmenwith one senior leader. The 17-manroster consisted of only three upperclassmen. I smiled and kept to myself.

But I learned a great deal fromthis team. As I interviewed playersand coaches, I saw the passion theyhad for the game. I saw determina-tion and energy in every match theyengaged in. Most importantly, I real-ized age is only a number.

This women's team was different.I was used to watching sports teamswith crazy coaches who only caredabout winning. From the beginning.I could tell this team's focus was notsolely on that philosophy. [n manyquot€s I got from the team, theirwords were more about teamworkand chemisty and not how manyW's they could put in the win col-uinn.

Meho went from tying series at2-2 in the earb part of the seasonto sweeping series ftom oppgnentsin the crucial months of conferenceplay. They went ftom hitting home

runs with no runners on base tocdpitalizing on those league-Ieadingdoubles by slamming two- arrd three-run home runs,

Despite all the ctiticism ftomcorches and writers, including my-self, Fisher did a great job. this coachknows lrtrat she's doing as she brought

this team together through a verycompetitive conference and tauglrther team that the game is morc aboutwinning - it's about tearning.

It was a privilege to report andwrite about Meho's first softball sea-son. I admired the faith they had inthemselves and how they tumed it

into victories.The 'Runners actually won that

game against Mary, and I went onto see 31 more of them tbroughoutthe season- It was without a doubta learning ryerience, and I hope tosee an even brigher softball season in2009.
