    Shoppers spend early Rocky Mountain News:
    At REI in Denver, Ed and Diane Gomez of Fort Lupton were buying each other snowshoes. But the couple doesn't plan to buy much more than that. 'We're going to be very conservative,' said Diane, 46.

    Ed, 43, works as a union organizer for local carpenters, a lot of whom have been out of work. 'I'm not going to buy very much this year,' he said.

    Council committee gives OK to beer-store limits By Anthony S. Twyman
    Jerry Coughlin, business agent for Local 1856 of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, which would get many of the construction jobs the new store would create, also supported the proposal.

    'We have hundreds and hundreds of carpenters out of work,' Coughlin said. 'Quite frankly, we need those jobs, and we need them now.'
