Extra roles to fill

CMC in talks for Inn City, college may reach deal to use Iron Horse as dorm Zach Fridell

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The Iron Horse Inn may find new life as student housing for Colorado Mountain College’s Alpine Campus. College leaders are in negotiations with city planning officials to use one of the two buildings in the city-owned hotel for student housing during the next school year.

Although no contract has been agreed upon, CMC Assistant Campus Dean of Student Services Brian Hoza said he hopes to negotiate a deal that will allow the price for housing at Iron Horse to remain about the same as regular student rates on campus. Students pay between $400 and $450 a month on campus. “We’re continuing conversations. ... We think it’s highly likely that we’re going to be

able to use the facility,” he said. “We have a number of things to work through, in terms of details, to make sure we’re thinking ahead of the kinds of things to have in place.” Hoza said the college would not be able to charge enough in rent to cover the cost of renovations and staffing at the dorm. CMC would cover the remainder of the costs, he said.

Welcoming the babies Cold, wet calving season picks up at Routt County ranches

ary Kay Monger backed up the fourwheeler, preparing to gain speed to splash through deep tractor grooves full of springtime slop. She’d gotten the vehicle STORY BY stuck in BLYTHE TERRELL the mud a couple of days before and wasn’t interested in trying to heave it out again. Mary Kay accelerated. The machine ground through the gate, but the weight of an extra person left the tires spinning in the pasture’s muck. Her husband, Larry, jammed the all-terrain vehicle out of its quagmire. It’s calving season across Routt County, and Larry and Mary Kay are enjoying the work at High Tide Ranch. “You tell the people in town when they talk about mud season, they ain’t seen nothing yet,” Larry said. It’s true: The black mud, manure and hay mix is thick as wet concrete at their ranch on Routt County Road 44 west of Steamboat Springs. The couple had 33 new calves hobbling around as of Thursday morning. Changing weather has thrown a few curves, however, and they’ve lost three

calves so far. Frosty weather April 4 claimed one of the tiny victims. “It was cold and windy, and it chilled (the calf) so fast, it couldn’t get dry,” Larry said.

“It didn’t make it.” The Mongers have had to take a few calves into the house to warm them up. “It starts in the kitchen and goes to the porch and then here,” Mary Kay said, gestur-

ing around the barn. The weather has been tough all around, said CJ Mucklow, Routt County extension agent. The first calf at his ranch was born Thursday. “We calf in April typi-

cally because we’re under the assumption, which is wrong half the time, that weather’s better in April than it is in February,” Mucklow said. See Calving, page 8A

Obama moves fast to occupy positions in administration Nancy Benac

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

President Barack Obama doesn’t have time for a victory lap now that his Cabinet finally is largely in place. One level down, he faces gaping holes in the ranks he needs to fill if there is to be any hope of turning his ambitious agenda into action on health care, the environment and much more. Obama After a spurt of recent activity that followed a problem-plagued start, Obama is outpacing George W. Bush and Bill Clinton on appointments. But Obama, like his two immediate predecessors, is bogged down in a system that has grown increasingly cumbersome during the years. And he’s added tougher-than-ever background checks and ethics rules. “Obama will be faster than Clinton and Bush when all is said and done, but it’s still a slow process,” said New York University professor Paul Light, an expert on the federal government. “A turtle is a turtle is a turtle. The Obama administration is a pretty fast turtle, but it’s no hare.” What’s at stake is much more than bragging rights for how quickly Obama can fill in an organizational chart with names for undersecretary of this and deputy assistant secretary of that. These are the people Obama needs to carry out all sorts of promised initiatives and policy shifts, and to assure that the nation stays safe along the way. At a recent congressional See Jobs, page 9A

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

A Shout of Surprise To Sally’s immense surprise, Elizabeth, as she hugged her, gave a little squeal. But of course, it was not Elizabeth at all, but Shadow, who had curled up in Sally’s lap and gone to sleep. “Oh, Shadow,” said Sally, scratching his ear where he most loved to have it scratched. “I’m sorry. I was dreaming again. But how funny! Both my dreams have been about things that the other Sally wrote about in her diary.” She looked back into the mirror, but saw only Shadow and herself reflected there now. “But do you know something, Shadow? They don’t seem exactly like dreams. It almost seems as if they’re really happening. And look,” she said, remembering something and reaching into her pocket, “this must be a piece of one of the shells from the garden. The shells in the cupboard used to be out there.” She stared in awe at the bit of shell in her hand. “But I still haven’t found Elizabeth,” she said unhappily. “I wonder if I ever will!” As she was walking down the hall stairs, followed by Shadow, Sally noticed that the rain had stopped and the sun had come out. “Well,” said her aunt when she walked into the kitchen, “have you found Elizabeth yet?” “Not yet,” said Sally. “How would you like to ask your new friend to help us make gingerbread cookies?” asked Aunt Sarah. “My friend? Do you mean Emily?” “The little girl who was with you in the sleigh.” “Oh,” said Sally. “I don’t know if her mother will let her.” “There’s only one way to find out,” said Aunt Sarah briskly. “Ask her. That is, if you’d like her to come. You might have lunch together, too, if you like.” “Oh, I would like it!” cried Sally. “But —” “Run along then, and ask her.” Sally hesitated for just a moment, then hurried out into the garden. She looked

stared in awe at the grandfather clock, and hopped from flower to flower on the rug. Then Sally proudly led her to see the picture in her room. “Is that the other Sally and Elizabeth?” Emily asked. Sally nodded. “You know, she does look just like you. And Elizabeth is — she’s wonderful! Oh, Sally, you just have to find her! Wouldn’t it be fun to play with her?” Sally took Emily up to the attic and showed her the other Sally’s trunk and all the things inside. She let her read the diary, and she put on the other Sally’s clothes for her. She told Emily all about her dreams, and how it had seemed that she could see the other Sally in the mirror. The two of them stood side by side looking into the mirror. “Yes, that really does look like the other Sally in there,” Emily said. “I wish I could have a dream like that.” But this time, nothing happened. They looked and looked for some clue to Elizabeth’s whereabouts. “What’s Shadow doing?” Emily finally asked. Sally looked up from the paper lace valentine she had found in a box. “Oh, he’s pushing something into that space between the wall and the roof. See where it comes down there? He’s always doing that.” “Cats are funny,” said Emily. Then she disappeared behind a chest of drawers. Sally looked up when she heard a gasp of surprise. “Sally!” Emily yelled. “Come here!” Her face appeared briefly from behind the chest, and then vanished again. To be continued.

The Story So Far: Sally seems to have just traveled once again into the past, where she and Elizabeth attended a tea party in the garden. Or was it a dream?

up at Emily’s window. The shade was drawn again. Maybe they’re not home, she told herself. “Emily!” she called. “EMILY!” With a brisk snap, the shade flew up and Emily’s face appeared. “Hi, Sally!” she said. “I was just hoping you’d come out today.” “You were? But I thought — I mean, yesterday, you were gone when I came back.” “I had to go. My mother called me.” “Oh,” breathed Sally. She smiled her happy relief up at her friend. “Sally,” Emily asked in an anxious voice, “are you going home? Is your mother coming for you?” Sally shook her head. “No,” she said, “I told her I wanted to stay.” “That’s great!” said Emily. “Did you find Elizabeth yet?” Sally shook her head. “Not

yet,” she said. “But Emily, Aunt Sarah told me to ask you if you could come over for lunch. We’ll make gingerbread cookies, too. Could you?” “I’ll ask my mother,” said Emily eagerly. “Wait a minute.” Sally chewed on the end of a blade of grass while she waited. “Oh, I hope,” she whispered, “I hope she can.” She crossed her fingers. Emily’s face showed again at the window. She was smiling. “My mother says I can come,” she announced. When the cookies were baked, they ate them for dessert after their lunch of peanut butter sandwiches, carrot sticks, and potato chips. Aunt Sarah left them alone for the most part, and when she was with them she did not seem frightening in the least. For Sally, leading Emily around the house after lunch was like living again through the wonder of seeing it the first time her-

self, only without the fear. “There’s the melodeon!” exclaimed Emily as they went into the parlor. They amused themselves for a time by walking back and forth, just to hear it tinkle. Of course, Emily had to look at the shells, and hear about how they had once lined the garden paths, and finger with wonder the bit of shell from Sally’s pocket. She seemed quite enchanted with the frail little cups and saucers, and her eyes were like saucers themselves as she listened to Sally’s story of how the handle on one of the cups had come to be broken. “I wonder if it really did happen that way,” said Emily. “That’s what it says in the diary,” said Sally. “Could I see the diary?” asked Emily. Sally nodded and led the way through the bead curtains. In the upstairs hall, Emily

Jim Somerville said he sees “no caps” on My Wireless’ ability to grow across the West. Somerville said he thought the Steamboat Springs-based Verizon Wireless retailer could open as many as 10 stores a year. Somerville took over April 1 as president of the company. His predecessor, company founder Andy Brown, will remain as

chairman and CEO. Somerville hasn’t worked in the cell phone industry before but has decades of experience in retail. “The principles of retail management which I intend to apply here are the same no matter what product you’re offering: Have a good product, offer it at a good value and the customers will follow,” he said. Somerville has been in Steamboat since about 1990. According to a news release,

Somerville has been president and CEO of PDC, an information technology and distribution firm; chairman, CEO and president of Factory 2U Stores, a retail chain of more than 300 stores; and executive vice president of BET Plc., a nearly $3 billion services conglomerate headquartered in London.

Worries subside

Ski Corp. relies less on visas to fill seasonal posts

ife has changed dramatically since ski area officials bemoaned visa rules last fall. At the time, Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. and other companies were concerned about how they’d fill STORY BY seasonal BLYTHE TERRELL posts. The federal government hadn’t extended a rule allowing workers on H2B visas to return. Ski Corp. planned to rely heavily on J-1 student visas and Q visas that allowed foreign workers to share their cultures. Instead, the troubled economy meant Ski Corp. needed fewer workers entirely, said Trish Sullivan, Ski Corp.’s vice president of human resources. “At the time we recruited and hired J-1s, it was before the economy went way south, and so as we started to see changes to the economy, we did rescind some job offers,” Sullivan said. “We still brought on a number of J-1s, but we did reduce those numbers.” In past years, Steamboat Springs’ ski area has had a ski season staff of about 1,700. This year, it was closer to 1,500, Sullivan said. Ski Corp. has about 240 year-round employees. Ski Corp. had about 100 workers on J-1 visas and about 16 on Q visas. This was Steamboat’s first year with the Q visa program, and Ski Corp. hired those workers through the American Hospitality Academy. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is reviewing that agency to make sure its Q visa program is valid, Sullivan said. “We did have probably about … 25 that did not get through the process,” she said. “They didn’t make it into the U.S. because it was

The Colorado-based utility that serves 1.4 million customers in four states has been criticized by environmentalists and some of its members for not producing more energy from FILE PHOTO Denver-based Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association serves electric renewable sources. But the utility said Friday cooperatives in four states, with facilities including the Craig power plant, and has that it’s re-evaluating its plans announced intentions to increase renewable energy production.

because of uncertainty around proposed coal plants. Tri-State had planned to buy power from two coal-fired plants proposed in Kansas, but state officials there have blocked construction because of concerns about potential carbon dioxide emissions and climate change. So, Tri-State said it will expand its energy-efficiency programs and invest more in renewable energy and natural gas. Tri-State gets 71 percent of its power from coal and only 1 percent from such renewSee Energy, page 9A

Hydrogen fuel cell technology has been touted as one of the best options to replace the internal combustion engine but, so far, cost has been a barrier. A Longmont company, sixyear-old Synkera Technologies, hopes to change that. The nanotechnology company is branching out from its roots as a maker of sensors that detect gases. It’s now developing anodic aluminum oxide membranes — AAOs — high-tech filters that hold promise in a variety of applications, including biomedical devices and renewable energy, particularly in hydrogen fuel cells. The technology is cost-prohibitive compared with standard gasoline engines, but Steve Williams, Synkera’s co-founder, president and chief technical officer, said he thinks his company can help bring the cost of fuel cell technology down from $10,000 to a few thousand dollars. “Ultimately, no one’s going to replace what’s there until it’s economically viable,” Williams said. Synkera’s AAO membranes are not like the filter in a home air conditioner. The AAOs, which can filter gases or liquids, have pores that are sometimes as small as 100 nanometers wide, or one one-thousandth the width of a human hair. “You’re down to the molecular level,” Williams said. The membranes the company makes for hydrogen fuel cells allow only hydrogen gas to pass through. “The key with the hydrogen separation membrane is to purify the hydrogen,” said Williams, who has a doctorate in analytical chemistry from the University of North Carolina. “And you need pure hydrogen to go into a fuel cell.” Synkera’s research into the membranes is continuing, but it has started selling them commercially to companies working on hydrogen fuel cell technology. Williams and chief financial officer Brian Sperry formed Synkera after they met while working at a local nanomaterials company. The two decided they could use their knowledge of materials and nanotechnology to make their own devices.

God bless America

OUR VIEW

Council should decide on 700

Mary K. Allen

SPECIAL TO THE PILOT & TODAY

God bless America, land that I love Like most of us who live here in the greatest country God has ever given to man, I love America. Recently, a friend of mine who traveled and lived in Europe for a time told me that she loves it, too, but not as much as me. Michelle Obama has said that America is a mean country and that she is only now proud of it since her husband declared his candidacy. And alas, it has now become apparent that her husband isn’t all that fond of it, either.

t no longer appears as if the Steamboat Springs City Council is considering putting the annexation of Steamboat 700 to a vote of the people, and that’s a good thing. We elect and expect our city councilors to make decisions on complex issues, including annexations, and we believe they’re uniquely qualified AT ISSUE to take on that significant responSteamboat sibility. City Council President Pro-tem 700 Cari Hermacinski raised the posannexation sibility of a public vote last week vote when she revealed her plans to discuss the issue with her fellow OUR VIEW council members. Hermacinski City councilors said she was concerned with the potential for a lengthy and costly are elected to make complex, legal battle if the annexation of Steamboat 700 was put on the important ballot through a referendum petidecisions tion. for their The state of Colorado allows constituents. voters to petition referendum questions onto the ballot, and the state constitution stipulates that only 10 percent of registered voters need sign the petition for it to appear at the polls. But the city of Steamboat Springs operates under a home-rule charter that states: “Referendum petitions must be signed by qualified electors of the city equal in number to at least 20 percent of the total number of electors registered to vote at the last regular municipal election.” The discrepancy in requirements between the state Constitution and the city’s charter alarmed Hermacinski. She surmised that voluntarily putting the annexation of Steamboat 700 onto the ballot could eliminate the likelihood of litigation. Fortunately, it looks as if Steamboat 700 has no interest in pursuing such litigation. At Tuesday’s City Council meeting, Steamboat 700 attorney Bob Weiss said his clients would not contest a referendum petition — even if it was the result of meeting the lesser petition requirements of the Constitution. The city should formalize that concession and return to the business of slugging through complex annexation negotiations, where we expect the council and city officials to take a tough negotiating stand with Steamboat 700 developers and continue to work solely with the best long-term interests of the community in mind. When staff and council have hammered out an annexation agreement they believe worthy of a City Council vote, our seven elected representatives should make that up or down decision. Indeed, it is the council members, not the vast majority of Steamboat Springs voters, who will have put in the time, study and effort to vote with the requisite insight on a complex annexation agreement. It’s a tremendous responsibility that we expect them to carry out. None of this is to say voters can’t or shouldn’t have the chance to vote on the annexation of Steamboat 700 themselves. There is a mechanism in place to accomplish that — the referendum petition — and if there really is sufficient interest for a public vote, then there should be no problem securing the required signatures. In the meantime, there remain plenty of opportunities for citizens to get involved in the process, from attending meetings to writing or calling their elected representatives. Interested citizens also should take the time to read the detailed West of Steamboat Springs Area Plan — which after years of work was adopted in 1999 and revised in 2006 — and the Steamboat Springs Area Community Plan. Together, they provide a roadmap for how and where our community wanted development like Steamboat 700 to occur.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Curb drinking The problem of underage drinking is pervasive within our country as well as our community. Routt County has the dubious distinction of leading Colorado in underage alcoholrelated infractions, with averages well above national norms, as well. Routt County had the most minor in possession (MIP) and juvenile driving under the influence (DUI) violations in the state in 2005 and 2007. Additionally, underage youths in Routt County report above-average responses related to lifetime alcohol use, binge drinking and ease of obtainment of alcohol. These figures are alarming and eye-opening. It is clear from our local and national statistics that underage drinking is a crucial problem within our society. Research has indicated that underage youths often procure alcohol at parties where parents and other adults have left them unsupervised. The Steamboat Springs Police Department recently published results from March 2009’s alcohol compliance checks: 0 of 13 establishments checked sold alcohol to underage youths, representing a 100 percent compliance rate, as opposed to a 67 percent baseline compliance rate in 2005. As evident from these recent alcohol compliance check figures, underage youths in Steamboat Springs are not obtaining alcohol from our local liquor stores and bars. Thus, if underage youths are not obtaining alcohol from liquor stores and bars, then how are they getting it? In a survey conducted among youths nationwide, youths reported that 53.4 percent of underage drinkers drank at someone else’s home, while another 30.3 percent drank in their own home. Research shows that house parties are the No. 1 setting for binge drinking and other serious crimes, such as sexual assaults and other violence. Often, underage drinking parties occur on private property, but the adults responsible for the property are not present and/or cannot be shown to have furnished the alcohol. The Social Host Ordinance as proposed by the Excellence Project, which is being considered by City Council on Tuesday, would help to combat underage drinking at house parties. The ordinance would provide a nec-

essary tool for law enforcement to quickly discern the source of the alcohol at house parties. It also will serve as another layer to our community’s current comprehensive program to combat and prevent underage drinking. Similar ordinances are being proposed and adopted in jurisdictions across the country. These laws help to address the enormous problem of underage drinking within the U.S. and are recommended nationwide by many reputable tasks forces. If City Council adopts the proposed ordinance, our community would join numerous others who already have embraced this “tool” as a means to achieving the goal of reducing/preventing underage drinking. Additionally, council would send a clear message to our community that underage drinking is not tolerated within our city, thereby changing existing social norms. To learn more about Social Host Ordinances, including the one being proposed to City Council, please visit our Web site, www.grandfutures.org, or contact me at 970-879-6188 or dervla@grandfutures.org.

ROUTT COUNTY DIRECTOR GRAND FUTURES PREVENTION COALITION

Public vote on 700 While the Steamboat 700 project (and the 360 project) likely would increase the city’s tax bases to help alleviate the city’s budget concerns, I think it would detract from the quality of life for most city, and especially county, residents for two primary reasons: significant traffic increases, which at times have been of concern to the city and all who must use Lincoln Avenue, and significant water usage increases, in the drought cycles that almost are a surety for this area. Increased water usage could cause depleted aquifers, further leading to the concerns of water-use rationing and the failure or drying up of wells. County residents depend on wells for household uses and ranch and animal uses — depleting the supply could lead residents to put in new wells, which is expensive and not always successful.

I realize the city actively is looking for increased funding for needs and projects. But if ranchers, hay farmers and longterm residents leave their places because of decreased quality of life and other livelihood concerns, the historical character and actuality of the community will be forever, irretrievably, lost. Are the interests, concerns and well-being of the families and individuals who built this community and regional areas ever taken seriously into consideration? I often wonder should these long-term residents be consulted, just how many of these “projects” and that which is purchased or supported by the gained tax base would be thought worthwhile by those who, along with their ancestors, established this community. Because other communities sometimes are cited as prerequisites as inducement for some project or activity to be approved for this community, it should be considered that this community is not the same, nor do the long-term residents with lifelong investment in this community/county necessarily want to be like Vail, Aspen or Minturn, or other sites. Do not the ads for tourism and its marketing imply that Steamboat Springs is a unique ranching community? Will the beauty and richness of valleys and meadows green with hay and grass turning ripe as the season progresses, and the warm pleasure of seeing this hay and grass be turned into bales to feed animals over the winter forever be lost? Will the free-flowing rivers and streams be impeded, dirty or sluggish for lack of clean, clear water? Will it all eventually be lost to one project, then another, and another? That would be to lose a treasure that cannot be bought by any amount of funding. An action with such impact on the community, both city and county, should be considered and voted on by all. A vote by all may not change anything already in the making, but it can show opinion and express concern about what is happening and what seems surely to affect our life and future.

Stand beside her, and guide her I used to tell my children that when they were outside of our home and interacting with others, they were representing our family and should act accordingly. When Barack Obama is in Europe or any other place that isn’t his home, as a representative of all of us, we would expect him to do the same. Maybe he has forgotten that some 62 million of us did not vote for him in the last election. Maybe he still doesn’t realize that many of us are not impressed with his cool demeanor that covers for his narcissism and ineptness. Perhaps he hasn’t noticed the growing unrest, i.e. outrage, that is settling in amongst the good people of our land. You see, Barack Obama, we don’t want to lose our freedom and our liberty, the product of so much blood, sweat and tears and the sacrifices of the brave men and women who have fought for our country’s values for the past 220 years. We want to continue to live in this prosperous and generous nation under the principles of our framers and their wisdom in writing the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and other enduring documents. When you dare to apologize for American’s exceptionalism and make excuses to a European coalition that should be in our debt, all in the name of wanting to be liked, you betray your oath of office and you are an embarrassment. Through the night with the light from above Our great President, Ronald Reagan, once likened America to a “shining city on a hill.” We still are that shining city, but our God-given natural rights to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” currently are under siege by a radical, leftwing ideology that is being forced upon us by this president and a Democrat-dominated Congress that does not have our best interests at heart. From the mountains, to the valleys, to the oceans white with foam. It is up to us to stand up for our embattled country. Power to the people. Conservatism and the principles it represents are what will continue to give us the strength we need to recover. Whenever we are feeling threatened, we need only go back to our core principles: a strong national See Allen, page 5A

The growth of “commercial” tubing in the upper sections of the Yampa River was one of the key reasons the Yampa River Management Plan (YRMP) was developed in 2002-03 and adopted by City Council in 2004. The river was divided into five segments. Each segment clearly defined what type of use was most compatible for each of the segments. Commercial tubing was to occur below Fifth Street because that was a compatible use for that section of the river. The upper sections of the river were to remain more natural and provide opportunities for solitude to watch wildlife and fly fish… What is taking place now is that private tubing in the upper sections is anything but occasional. Private tubing on the upper section of the river has grown to and perhaps beyond what was occurring when commercial tubing was permitted. — Scott Ford

Thanks, patrollers On April 1, I volunteered to wear a Ski Corp. jacket to be a presence on the hill and help guests have a great day. At 3:10 p.m., I was notified that it was OK to go home, and I started for the base. While skiing on Right of Way near the ski patrol trailer, I was hit from behind by a child who appeared to be 10 or 12 years old, knocked out of both skis and my head hit the snow. Apparently, I don’t remember any of this, I put on my skis, skied to the gondola, took off my skis and went into the first floor of the gondola building where I was found by an Ambassador, Jim Ficke, in a dazed state. Jim persuaded me to go to the info center where ski patrol responded and called an ambulance. I have no memory of being

Sales tax, property tax I think if a property tax were to be approved that the approval process would also include a reduction in the local sales tax. I think the sales tax revenue has a certain “free money” aspect to it because so much of it is paid by tourists and it is hard to know how much anyone is paying. So why not spend money on whatever as long as the money is coming in?

I think a property tax would have a far greater “you are taking and spending my money” aspect to it, and far more of it would be paid by locals. Not only does each person know how much they are paying, there is a record of it. So I think if there were years of plenty of revenue, then there would be a far greater local push to refund and reduce property taxes. — Scott Wedel

are among the hardest hit segments of the economy as they are purely discretionary and can further be purchased in different increments of quality — you can still take a vacation, but it may not entail hopping on a plane and coming to SBS. SBS, because of the travel requirement, is very high on the continuum of discretionary spending and therefore is likely to see a proportionately greater impact. When travel can be stripped or dramatically reduced from vacation spending, it is the first casualty. Will it recover? Absolutely, beyond a shadow of a doubt. The only variable is how long it will take. — JLM

there, but I am told that I was belligerent, confused and uncooperative. Luckily, Mike Hirshman, an old friend from search and rescue, a ski patroller and ambulance professional, held my hand, spoke reassuringly and persuaded me to cooperate so that I could be taken to the hospital. A scan of my head showed nothing more serious than a concussion, and an X-ray revealed a Grade 2 plus shoulder separation. A very big thank you to Ambassador Jim Ficke, EMT Professional Mike Hirshman, and Ski Corp. ski patrol for their quick, controlled thinking and fast action. They had no way of knowing what they were dealing with as I was unable to provide any information at all. Their training and professionalism were key to gaining control of what for me was a very scary situation. I am very grateful.

And please, wear a helmet. I believe mine saved me from a much more severe injury.

To Gov. Ritter I am a retired military guy. Last night at our American Legion meeting, one of the other guys showed us an article from a newspaper in Denver discussing in-state tuition issues. From what I read, it looked like the same bunch of government officials who three weeks ago decided it made sense to give in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens and their children have decided not to give in-state tuition rates to military personnel stationed in Colorado, their spouses or their children. I hope I misunderstood and that you can clear this up.

I understand that college costs are increasing, that there are limited dollars available to assist those who want to go to college, and choices have to be made about who gets the benefits. But, are you serious? On one hand, you have military personnel, many of whom are just back from the war, and their children, who live in Colorado because the federal government ordered them to come here. On the other hand, you have illegal aliens, who snuck into our state, and by definition, have no right to be here, and their children. Please tell me that I am confused or that you have decided to think about this some more, or something that makes more sense than what the paper reported. I look forward to hearing from you.

1923-2009

Victor A. Luark of La Cygne, Kan., died March 16, 2009. He was 85. He was born May 18, 1923, in Portland, Ore., to Alvin Victor (Vic) Luark Luark and Cecilia Crook Luark. He was known as Vic Jr. to his friends and family in Routt County and Eagle County, where he spent much of his time during his younger years. Vic Jr., an accomplished professional musician, played the piano and organ and was well known in the early years by playing at Steamboat, Toponas and Burns rodeos. He also was a local favorite at the Harbor Hotel in Steamboat. Vic played at dances, weddings, family reunions, and various other night spots throughout Routt County and Denver. Wherever Vic sat down to play, everyone had a great time that is now locked in our memories. Vic Jr. served the Army during WWII and returned to playing in the Denver area until

the early 1950s. He then moved to Kansas City and played his music at many affluent clubs and entertainment venues, until his retirement. He was preceded in death by his parents, father Vic Luark Sr., and mother Cecilia Luark, of McCoy; sisters Wilma Macfarlane, of Yampa, and Delores Milius of Bremerton, Wash.; and his niece, Sandra (Macfarlane) Fischer, of Grand Junction. He is survived by his special friend of 52 years, Marvin Simons, of La Cygne; nephews Carl Macfarlane, of Yampa, Marcus Macfarlane, of Payson, Ariz., and Corky Milius, of Bremerton; nieces Marsha Macfarlane, of Missoula, Mont., and Linda Milius, of Bremerton; and a host of grandnieces and grandnephews. Vic Jr.’s request for cremation has been honored. A private interment will take place at Oak Lawn Cemetery near La Cygne, Kan. The family suggests contributions to the charity of one’s choice.

Ski Corp. earned highest satisfaction ratings in Intrawest Visas continued from 3A they had booths and taught children about their countries, Lightbody said. “I always used to ask them when I had them if they knew where England was,” she said. “A majority of the time, they didn’t. They thought it was in South America or something.” Lightbody learned to ski at Whistler Blackcomb in British Columbia and has skied in New Zealand. This winter was her first in Steamboat. “I loved working with the kids,” Lightbody said. “It was always a lot of fun and was good to see the progress they would make from the time that they were there. … Steamboat as a whole has been a lot of fun, being able to ski on the mountain and enjoy what it has to offer.” Lightbody said she would like to stay through the summer, but she isn’t sure whether she’ll be able to get a visa to do so. Sullivan wasn’t sure what sort of future the Q visa program would have in Steamboat. She said last fall that Ski Corp. planned to split the 15-month program throughout three seasons. But the review by the federal immigration agency could be an issue. A key benefit of that program, Sullivan said, is that it provides skiing and snowboarding instructors. “That’s one thing we will continue to look at because of our ability to get certified instructors, and that’s not something that’s going to be met by J-1s,” who typically are university students, Sullivan said. The future of the J-1 program also remains unclear. “We’ve pretty much put on hold any active J-1 recruitment,” Sullivan said. “I think we’re

going to hold off. … We’re obviously going to look much more closely at domestic recruitment.”

A shrinking issue Ski Corp.’s H-2B visa worries have grown less urgent. The U.S. government caps seasonal H-2B visas at 66,000 a year, or 33,000 in two halves. The timing of recruitment and job postings had all but shut out the ski area. An extension expired that had allowed people who previously worked in the country on H-2B visas to return. Ski Corp. had just a few H2B workers this season, Sullivan said. But the company isn’t ignoring the issue. “With high unemployment, we feel we can significantly reduce the need for H2B visas at least this year,” she said. “Hopefully, the economy is going to improve so we can revisit that again in future years.” Jennifer Rudolph, spokeswoman for Colorado Ski Country USA, said H-2Bs became almost a non-issue for members of the trade group. “It’s definitely not something we’ve packed up and put away,” Rudolph said. “The H-2B situation is still very important to our members, and we as the trade association for Colorado are paying close attention, and we are watching it. We’ve got two folks involved in public policy who are involved in it.” One benefit of those H-2B workers is that they typically fill high-turnover positions in areas such as housekeeping, lift operations, and food and beverage service, Sullivan said. But there was a silver lining. The recession allowed Ski Corp. to focus on hiring top-quality workers, and the resort earned

The 5-year-old company is about to open its 23rd store. “We have a pretty wide region we have capabilities of adding stores in, including most of the western states,” Somerville said. “If we plan well and execute well, I think we can probably open as many as 10 stores a year, and doing that would take us pretty close to 50 stores in the next three-year period.” Brown said he would remain involved in the business. “As the business grows, there’s more and more things

that need to be watched and implemented, and I simply just can’t handle it all,” Brown said. “I’m good at negotiations and expansion, and I feel that I’m qualified to help with the marketing and to oversee that.” Brown said he expected My Wireless to end the year with six or seven new stores or store relocations. He and Somerville noted that although the cell phone industry isn’t immune to the economic recession, it has fared better than some others. “We’ve been blessed in that we’re more recession resistant than a lot of small businesses in the U.S. … but we still have our challenges,” Brown said.

Rancher: It’s like opening Christmas presents Calving continued from 1A

He noted that the harsh weather early this month affected more than just the Mongers. “It’s not uncommon for it to snow in May,” Mucklow said Thursday. “Ranches are prepared for this stuff. Last week was really brutal because it was cold — not only wet, it was cold.” The weather was fine for calving Thursday. A light snow fell, but the air wasn’t cold. Mary Kay drove the four-wheeler, wearing a pink John Deere ball cap. Larry walked, wearing mud boots and a dusty cowboy hat. The Mongers lost one of their other calves because it was a twin and they didn’t know, so it died before they found it. They’ve had a couple of sets of twins already. “Different producers I’ve talked to, there seems to be quite a few this year,” Mary Kay said. “So, I don’t know what’s going on.” Another of the Mongers’ calves was rejected by its mother, who then killed it. They plan to get rid of the cow by summer. By the Mongers’ count, they’ll have about 160 calves by summer. Cows carry their calves for nine months. Once they’re born, the calves are at risk from the

cold, coyotes and — some ranchers say — bald eagles. Mary Kay doesn’t quite buy that, however. The cows typically protect their young from coyotes, but the Mongers also have to keep an eye out. Sometimes a pregnant cow claims a calf for its own and then won’t try to give birth, Mary Kay said. She and Larry watched as a couple of black cows tried to mother the same calf Thursday, licking the animal as it stood hesitantly between them. “I’ll have to separate them,” Mary Kay said. Larry led the calf toward the barn, and the real and wannabe mothers followed. “We’ll jail the mother and baby so the other cow will get on the business of having her own,” Mary Kay said. Larry penned the animals, and the couple rode the ATV back to the house across the street, making it through the sucking mud this time. Although calving can be a cold, wet, muddy process, both beamed while describing the season. Having all those new, young calves around makes it a special time, Larry said. “It’s the rewarding time for us is what it is,” Mary Kay MATT STENSLAND/STAFF Monger said. “It’s like opening Steamboat Springs rancher Larry Monger walks a calf through a pasture to a pen Thursday afternoon.

New York professor estimates Obama has about 3,000 positions to fill overall Jobs continued from 1A hearing, for example, Rep. Sue Myrick, R-N.C., lamented that Dennis Blair, the national intelligence director, doesn’t have time to manage the extra responsibilities he’s been given for economics and climate change. “The ideal person for that is the principal deputy director of national intelligence,” suggested Edward Maguire, the agency’s outgoing inspector general. But that’s one of hundreds of seats still empty. There are similar stories all across government. NASA is awaiting a new administrator as the space agency approaches a big deadline about when to retire the space shuttle fleet. At the Health and Human Services Department, where Kathleen Sebelius will be the last member of Obama’s Cabinet to win confirmation by the Senate, 19 of the top 20 slots are being filled by acting career employees and the 20th is empty. This at a time when Obama is calling for sweeping changes in the way people get health care coverage. Four planned HHS nominations have been announced. At the Interior Department, Obama has yet to name a replacement to lead the Minerals Management Service, central in plans to expand renewable energy production off the nation’s coasts. Obama also has not picked someone to head the Pension

4 states use Tri-State Energy continued from 3A able energy sources as wind and solar. “As president of an electric co-op that’s part of Tri-State, it’s encouraging to see our power provider taking steps to boost efficiency and increase the use of renewables,” said Wes Perrin, president of the San Miguel Power Association board in Telluride. “My hope is that this short-term commitment to clean energy also becomes the foundation of Tri-State’s longterm resource plan.” It’s natural for Tri-State and other co-ops, founded to provide electricity to rural America, to boost the economy for rural areas by investing in renewable energy projects, said Mike Bowman, an eastern Colorado farmer and member of 25X25, a national renewable energy advocacy group. Tri-State, based in the Denver suburb of Westminster, supplies wholesale power to a total of 44 electric cooperatives in Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico and Wyoming. Environmentalists want the Colorado Public Utilities Commission to regulate Tri-State to ensure that it complies with a state law requiring co-ops to get 10 percent of their power from renewable sources by 2020. For now, Tri-State doesn’t need PUC approval to build power plants because it’s an interstate business and is overseen by several federal agencies. The company has said the effort to place it under state oversight “lacks legal merit.” John Nielsen, energy project director for the environmental group Western Resource Advocates, said his group continues to support the push to ensure that “Tri-State’s resource plan is in line with a unified Colorado energy policy.”

Benefit Guaranty, a quasi-government outfit that insures the pensions of 44 million workers and retirees — critical when bankruptcies are mounting. The corporation is being run by an acting director from the civil service. George Mason University professor James Pfiffner, an expert on presidential appointments, said that while capable civil servants can keep the government functioning, no one expects them to “go off in a new direction” to carry out a new president’s policies. Light describes it as a “neckless government,” representing the gap between the new

Cabinet secretaries and the career employees. “You really need the president’s people in there to put the push on for action,” he said. All told, Obama has about 500 appointments to make that are subject to Senate confirmation, and about 3,000 positions to fill overall, Light estimates. By the White House’s own count, Obama is outpacing his three predecessors at getting top-level appointees confirmed. But the numbers still are paltry, given all the vacancies to be filled. As of March 31, by an internal White House tally, Obama had 38 top-level

officials confirmed, compared with 27 for George W. Bush, 37 for Clinton, and 27 for George H.W. Bush. Considerably more names have been announced and are winding their way through the confirmation process. “It’s very clear that the Obama personnel operation has picked up speed,” Light said. “They’re now loading the pipeline quite efficiently.” That shifts the logjam down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Senate, which must confirm top-level appointees. Jim Manley, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said most of the doz-

ens of names awaiting confirmation didn’t arrive until mid-March, and that action now “hinges on Republicans agreeing to move these nominees.” And Congress’ two-week spring break will put action on hold temporarily until at least late April. Terry Sullivan, executive director of the White House Transition Project, said Obama appears to be on track to get 100 appointments confirmed in his first 100 days, a modern benchmark recommended by some. But he said that still means “the government is mostly empty desks for the first

year,” which makes it hard to push an ambitious agenda. Obama himself has bemoaned the “onerous” appointments process, taking note in particular of early trouble filling critical spots at the Treasury Department, where several potential nominees backed out after their names were announced. “A lot of people who we think are about to serve in the administration and Treasury suddenly say, ‘Well, you know what? I don’t want to go through some of the scrutiny, embarrassment, in addition to taking huge cuts in pay,”’ Obama told CBS’ “60 Minutes” late last month.

his support to a controversial budget-balancing plan being debated in Denver. The plan put forth by the Legislature’s Joint Budget Committee would take $500 million from a quasi-governmental workers’ compensation fund. Without the transfer, higher education could stand to lose $300 million next year. Noting that Pinnacol Assurance was created by the state and is tax-exempt, Buescher deplored some Republicans efforts to construe the plan “as

a raid on a private company.” Buescher said the statute that created Pinnacol clearly states it is “a political subdivision of the state of Colorado.” The controversial plan was the source of much wrangling in Denver last week. The Senate is scheduled to give final approval to the plan Monday, after which it would go to the state House. Democrats control both chambers. Sen. Al White, R-Hayden, a member of the Joint Budget Committee who also supports the plan, said last week that the

contentious battle wouldn’t end in the Legislature if it passes. Pinnacol is “hiring every lobbyist in four states to fight this,” White said last week. “They’re threatening to keep this tied up in court until my unborn grandchildren die of old age.” O’Brien discussed another touchy state fiscal issue, the Taxpayers Bill of Rights. The legislation that places revenue limits on state and local governments has created a “starving public sector,” O’Brien said. “We have to get out of this crazy fiscal restraint we’re in,”

she said. But O’Brien said efforts to eliminate or weaken TABOR need to start at a grassroots level because voters are more likely to trust their neighbors, friends and relatives than politicians when it comes to increasing government revenues. “They don’t trust us to use money carefully,” she said. “This conversation about changing TABOR starts at the dinner table.” — To reach Brandon Gee, call 871-4210 or e-mail bgee@steamboatpilot.com

When Johnson’s father started in the shearing business in the 1960s, all the shearers were Americans. Now, Johnson estimates there may be only 200 experienced shearers remaining in the country. “You can’t find Americans who want to do this anymore. Nobody wants to work that hard,” he said. “And it’s skilled labor. You can’t just grab someone off the street and teach them to do it in a week. It takes years.” As with other industries that rely on foreign workers, shearing bosses must go through a complicated process that begins months in advance. In November they apply for worker visas through the Department of Labor and the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service. They must advertise locally for employees and prove they can’t hire domestic workers before bringing in foreign workers.

Colorado wool growers haven’t resorted to raising breeds of sheep that don’t have to be shorn like some producers in Texas have. That’s not an option in Colorado’s cold. But wool that used to be part of sheeps’ value has turned into something of a nuisance. In the era of polyester, spandex and microfleece and a lack of tariffs on foreign wool, the price of wool has dropped to about 70 cents a pound. That’s 60 percent less than a year ago. “It’s a scary topic. It’s talked about at all wool-growers’ meetings,” said Matt Johnson, of Greybull, Wyo. Johnson travels Colorado, Wyoming and Utah from February through May with shearing crews that shave about 150,000 sheep. The shearers come mostly from New Zealand and Australia with a few from Ireland and England.

Thousands of baaing sheep shift in nervous eddies around a small, open trailer where the snicking sounds of hundreds of metal teeth signal it’s haircut time — at last. Shearing has marked a seasonal passage on Colorado’s farms and ranches as long as there have been sheep here. But it’s getting to be a bigger headache for the state’s 1,600 lamb and wool producers. Tightened immigration regulations and a lack of domestic interest in the work have cut the number of experienced shearers on the spring-clipping circuit. Farmers and ranchers now must jockey for slots on a very tight shearing schedule that also is weather-dependent. Hotchkiss sheep rancher

Ross Allen is a large producer who has been using the same shearing foreman for so long, he was sure the team would get to his ranch eventually. And given how busy shearers are, Allen bred his sheep later this year, hoping they’d be sheared before giving birth. It happened, but with just two days to spare. “Thank goodness it wasn’t too big a deal for me this year because it is for some others. We set our lambing date back because of a history of not being able to get shearers on time,” he said. If the producers can’t get their sheep shorn in a short window between winter’s sharpest cold and spring lambing season, the sheep tend to have more health problems. Parasites burrow into the wool. And it is more difficult for ewes to give birth and nurse their lambs when covered by thick pelts of wool.

February gross volume slumps to $12,071,300 The gross dollar volume of real estate transactions in Routt County in February slumped to $12,071,300, the lowest monthly dollar volume for any month of the year since February 2004. February’s total represented just 20 percent of February 2008, when the number of $59.8 million, according to statistics researched at the Routt County Courthouse by Bruce Carta, of Land Title Guarantee. Closings in the second month of the year likely were driven by contracts written during the holiday period. February 2009’s unit volume was 47 transactions compared to 109 in February 2008. During the preceding five years, Routt County had not seen any month with fewer than 100 transactions until March 2008.

Residential home sales add up to 16 in February The 16 residential sales that closed in February totaled $8.8 million. Of the total, $3.7 million, or 42 percent, was generated by three transactions in the price range from $1 million to $1.5 million. Three more homes priced between $700,000 and $800,000 produced an aggregate value of $2.175 million. In terms of unit volume, homes priced between $200,000 and $500,000 saw the most activity, with seven sales totaling $2.2 million.

Sheep ranch conserved Naturalists, artists assured access to Harrison Creek property

he second half of Helen and Henry Rehder’s legacy in the community was secured this month, as the Yampa Valley Land Trust and The Nature Conservancy formally accepted the gift of the couple’s historic 250-acre sheep ranch in Pleasant Valley. The secluded property on Harrison Creek will remain private, but STORY BY Land Trust TOM ROSS Executive Director Susan Dorsey said that in keeping with Helen Rehder’s will, the ranch will host a variety of events and visits beginning with a gathering of landscape painters in August and continuing to include naturalists studying trout, elk, deer and the ecosystem at the base of Mount Baldy. The gift of the land was accompanied by the gift of a fund to help underwrite the cost of maintaining the property. “The Land Trust is honored by this incredible gift of the Rehder Ranch as a nature preserve and is committed to fulfilling Helen’s wishes,” Dorsey said. She added that work already is scheduled to conserve the buildings, which are tucked out of sight on the east side of Lake Catamount. The Rehder’s home and turnof-the-20th-century agricultural buildings, including a barn, are scheduled for historic assessment this summer by Historic Routt County and the University of Colorado — Denver’s College of Architecture and Planning.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

A Steamboat real estate brokerage has changed hands, but most of the players already were in house. Veteran Realtor Ted Hoffman and investors Mark and Sharon Brooks, of Bermuda, have purchased High Mountain Sotheby’s International Realty from Tony Walton. Walton will remain with the firm. “I’ll be the managing partner. (Mark Brooks) is a financial partner, and he’ll have some fiscal oversight,”

Hoffman said. “I think we make a good team between our two skill sets.” Brooks is a CPA with Deloitte & Touche in Bermuda. Hoffman added that he’s pleased Walton will continue his real estate activities with High Mountain Sotheby’s, a decision that will give the firm the added depth and stability of having five brokers who own or have owned their own brokerage at one time or another. They include Tom and Marci Valicenti, who recently joined the firm, and Bill Dulan. “Tony did a great job

recruiting Tom and Marci on his watch,” Hoffman said. Walton said the change has been in the works for more than a year. “I’ve owned and operated real estate companies for close to 25 years. It takes time, effort and financial resources,” Walton said. “At this point in my life, there are real estate opportunities right in front of me I’d like to have the time,” to act on. The Brooks own property here and will begin spending more time in Steamboat Springs, See Sotheby’s, page 2B

TOM ROSS/STAFF

The late Henry and Helen Rehder always wished for their sheep ranch to become a nature preserve.

1940s, where she met and married Henry. It was the second marriage for both of them. Nobody knew the couple better in their later years than Mary Echtermeyer, who with her husband, Andy, moved to the ranch in 1997. The couple moved into an apartment upstairs in the barn, and Mary took care of Henry after he suffered a stroke. Helen regaled Echtermeyer with endless stories, and she learned about the early days on the ranch, when they grazed sheep all the way to the top of Baldy in the early summer. Henry had raised the money to buy the property by trapping coyotes, foxes and pine martens and selling their pelts. He also worked on a shrimp boat off the gulf coast of Texas. Helen was a graduate of a secretarial school, Echtermeyer said, and was a skilled bookkeeper who was savvy with the

family finances. Helen painted and kept detailed diaries about life on the ranch. The couple seemed to enjoy their solitude. “They kept to themselves up there,” Echtermeyer said. As they grew older and coping with the deep winter snows became too much for them, the Rehders sold their flock in the fall and moved into their apartment above the bank building for the winter. Still later, they spent winters on property in Cambria, Calif. Echtermeyer, about to begin her 13th summer on the ranch, said the new arrangement with The Nature Conservancy and the Yampa Valley Land Trust would have pleased the Rehders. “They wanted this place to never be developed and left open for biologists,” she said. – To reach Tom Ross, call 871-4205 or e-mail tross@steamboatpilot.com

Management focus on high-end, single-family homes Sotheby’s continued from 1B Hoffman said. High Mountain Sotheby’s moved this winter from an office suite at the intersection of U.S. Highway 40 and

Walton Creek Road to its present location at 708 Lincoln Ave. — a building already under long-term lease to Walton. It previously was a sales center for Wildhorse Meadows. Hoffman said the move

significantly has reduced the overhead of the brokerage. Hoffman, 40, previously worked as a real estate broker with Big Country Realty, the Steamboat Grand Resort Hotel and Coldwell Banker

Silver Oak. He has been with High Mountain Sotheby’s for eight years. Hoffman said he intends to balance out High Mountain Sotheby’s annual revenue stream by establishing an in-house, boutique property management company with a focus on servicing the needs of their own highend real estate clients. Hoffman has managed a few properties while selling real estate, and High Mountain Sotheby’s broker Kristi Heckler is a former co-owner of a small property management company. She will devote some of her energy to the new operation at High Mountain Sotheby’s. Hoffman said the over-arching Sotheby’s corporation has embraced high-end property management within its real estate offices. For his firm, it will add revenue stream in winter, when real estate transactions historically have slowed down. It also will allow him to keep support staff more fully employed. “It’s an important piece of my business model. We’d like to have 10 contracts by the end of the year and work up to 20 select properties,” Hoffman said. The property management focus will be on high-end, single-family homes. High Mountain Sotheby’s has nine Realtors on its roster, seven of them in the office. “I’m fortunate to have a good team in place,” Hoffman said. “As a goal, we’d like to get to 15 brokers (combining for) $100 million in sales a year.” — To reach Tom Ross, call 871-4205 or e-mail tross@steamboatpilot.com

Graham volunteers as shot put, discus coach for SSHS

Reiter story is a page turner

ometimes life is like a book. It can be filled with unexpected plot twists, a revolving cast of characters and the kind of details that keep us interested enough to flip to the next page. For the past three months, Steamboat Springs snowboarder Justin Reiter has flipped through plenty of pages and, in the process, written a chapter in his career that should keep us all sitting on the edge of our seat. “I’ve read 10 or 12 books in the past few months,” Reiter said. “But I’m not what you would call a reader.” No, Justin is a snowboarder and a good one at that. But after electing to undergo knee surgery early last winter, the 28-year-old Olympic hopeful has been forced to find new ways to fill all the time he used to spend training and competing on snow. Shortly after undergoing surgery to reconstruct his patella tendon, which connects the quadriceps thigh muscle to the tibia below the knee, Reiter found himself with a lot of extra time. For eight weeks after the surgery, he was hooked to a continuous passive motion, or CPM, machine for eight to nine hours a day. “I think I rented every movie at Blockbuster,” Reiter said. But he soon discovered that there is more to life than sitting in front of the television and watching movies. Eventually, he turned to books to escape the boredom, and began thinking about how he will find the words and experiences that will define this chapter of his life. Just a few months ago, Reiter was hoping his life story would describe a journey to his ultimate goal — the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, B.C. Some might view this injury as a setback, but Reiter thinks he will come away from the experience with the traits he needs to be successful next season and return to the top of his sport. He says he already is fueled by a new passion, and if things go as planned, he expects to return stronger, faster and more mentally prepared for the tests that will confront him the next few months. He now understands that making it back is about a lot more than gold, silver and bronze. “I love this lifestyle,” Reiter said. “It’s about the experience; it’s about the friends I’ve made here, and around the world. I want to get back to that place, and I want to keep snowboarding.” Justin’s story is already full of interesting plot lines, and as the 2010 games approach, I can only imagine that those plots will thicken. Nobody is sure where Justin’s story will end, but you can bet that I’m going to flip to the next page. — To reach John F. Russell call 871-4209 or e-mail jrussell@steamboatpilot.com

While earlier in his life the weight bothered him, Graham, the owner of Tropical Rockies, said he found a sport where even MATT STENSLAND/STAFF Steamboat Springs resident Gavin Graham is a volunteer throwing coach for the a fat guy can be competitive. Graham found the track and Steamboat Springs High School track and field team. Graham had a successful throwing career at the University of Colorado. field world of shot put and dis-

cus, sports that helped him not only discover a great deal about himself, but also get a college education. Now, Graham is helping to bring the sport he loves to Steamboat Springs youths. He’s in his first year as a volunteer throwing coach for the Steamboat Springs High School track and field team. “I’ve always been the fat kid,” Graham said while laughing before practice Thursday. “Based

on that, I was uncomfortable, insecure and inwardly turned on myself. It was something great for a fat guy to find a sport. But here it’s different for me. All we got in the ’Boat is skinny kids. Not a single one of the throwers has a gut. But it shows not only (that you) don’t have to be huge, you can be a big person and be a thin, athletic person and do it with technique.” See Graham, page 3C

Routt County teams compete in rough weather at Glenwood meet

he doesn’t come with a small tag that says “Gore-Tex,” but Hayden High School senior Holli Salazar proved herself to be weatherproof Saturday. As persistent rain showers slowed most athletes at the Demon Invitational high school track meet in Glenwood Springs and flat-out stopped others — two schools packed up and went home at noon — Salazar continued to lay down astonishing performances. Competing for the first time this season, the reigning Class 2A state shot put champion continued the unbelievable

SUNDAYFOCUS STORY BY JOEL REICHENBERGER run she started last season. She again won the shot put, this time with a throw of 42 feet, 2.5 inches. With that throw, she blasted an enormous shot across the bow of anyone hoping to dethrone her in her senior season. And, throwing on a rainy day with just two weeks of practice this spring, she improved her personal best for the fourth consecutive meet, a record dating

back to the middle of last spring. “It was my first track meet, so I was a little nervous and knew I had a target on my back,” Salazar said, as if she actually was worried about losing. “So, I just went out there and threw it. I thought I’d throw about the same but not farther.” Her early season form was good enough to win Saturday’s competition by a cool 8 feet, 3 inches. It again set the school record and reset a 13-year-old meet record, as well. See Track, page 3C

Kenny Perry hits his approach shot on the second hole during the third round of The Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga., on Saturday.

Angel Cabrera and Kenny Perry have proven they can handle the pressure on golf’s biggest stage. Next up is today at Augusta National, a test unlike any other they have faced. Cabrera, who won the U.S. Open two years ago at Oakmont, made three birdies on the back nine and scratched out an important par on the final hole Saturday at the Masters for a 3-under 69. Perry, who thrived under the spotlight of a Ryder Cup in his native Kentucky last September, overcame two mistakes with his putter around Amen Corner and finished

with five straight pars for a 70 to join the Argentine in the lead. It will be the first time they’ve played in the final group at a major. And not just any major. They were at 11-under 205, the lowest 54-hole score at the Masters since the course was supersized seven years ago. The back nine at Augusta National is among the most intense in golf, and officials are expected to set up the course to allow for birdies and eagles. “I’m lucky enough to be in a very good position,” Cabrera said. “I haven’t been in this position before, so I’ll try to make the most of it.” Perry lost in a playoff at the See Masters, page 4C

Playing on a natural grass surface for the first time this year, the Steamboat Springs High School boys lacrosse team continued its torrid roll Saturday, easily beating Glenwood Springs, 13-1. The Sailors, now 9-0 overall and in first place SATURDAY’S in the Mountain GAME: Conference, got Sailors 13 three goals from Demons 1 Brian Bertrand and two goals apiece from Andrew White and Tyler Samlowski. Also scoring for Steamboat were Chase Grippa, Garret Ehrick, Drew Ruff, Jack Spady, Ian Anderson and Stephen Shenfield. “I didn’t think we played particularly well,” Steamboat coach Bob Hiester said. “But we got a good balance of scoring and the defense played well only allowing the one goal.” Despite blustery conditions, Hiester said Steamboat maintained possession for most of the day. After Glenwood made an initial run early in the game, Steamboat took control of the contest. With the natural grass surface that was relatively muddy after recent rains, Hiester said picking up ground balls became somewhat of a problem. Now, Steamboat prepares for its busiest week of the season so far. Starting Monday, Steamboat plays four games in four days. The week will determine if Steamboat is crowned as inaugural Mountain Conference champions. Steamboat plays at Battle Mountain on Monday, home against Battle Mountain on Tuesday, home against Grand Valley on Wednesday and at Eagle Valley on Thursday. The team was supposed to also play Durango next week, but the Demons have forfeited that game. Hiester said despite the team’s hot start, it’s important that the team does not get ahead of itself with the playoffs on the horizon. “It’s one game at a time,” Hiester said. “We try to stress rest and recuperation. We either get better or stay worse. You don’t stay the same. We can always get better.”

�� Sailors tennis nets 3 weekend wins �� Lezin at No. 2 singles and Claire Parsons at No. 3 singles. After easily breezing through Golden on Saturday morning, Steamboat played what coach John Aragon called its most complete tournament of the year. Playing Class 5A Columbine, Steamboat picked up wins from Lezin and Parsons, as well as its Nos. 1, 2 and 3 doubles teams. The Sailors had to default at No. 1 singles when Lorin Paley

was moved down to the No. 1 doubles team after normal player Kylee Swiggart fell ill. “The strongest team performance was (Saturday),” Aragon said. “We were playing a really good team in adverse conditions. Our kids just battled, stayed focused and were not letting anything get to them. I thought today was a big turnaround for our players.” Steamboat now prepares for its stretch run. The team plays at 3:30 p.m. Thursday at Poudre before going to the heavily contested Mullen Tournament on

Friday and Saturday in Denver. At the Mullen Tournament — which draws top 4A and 5A teams — Aragon said Steamboat is likely to have a full and healthy team for the first time all season. “We’ll find out a lot about ourselves at that tournament,” Aragon said. “Coach (Don) Toy and myself are really looking forward to the Mullen tournament. The girls really need that. They need to get out there in tournament form and play with our whole team that we haven’t had the whole season.”

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The Steamboat Springs High School baseball team pulled away with a split Saturday in Rifle, dropping the first game, 8-4, before winning the second one, 13-7. In the first game, the Sailors found it tough to find hits. Lars Johnson, Alan Capistron and Carson Becker pitched, keeping the Bears at bay, but the Steamboat lineup just couldn’t get hits at the opportune time. “The bottom line is it was raining hard when we got over

BOYS BASEBALL there,” Steamboat manager Dave Roy said. “In my humble estimation, we just weren’t ready to play. We started out OK, then couldn’t put the bat on the ball.” But Steamboat roared back in Game 2 behind the bat of sophomore Alan Capistron. After falling behind, 2-0, in the first inning, Capistron was instrumental in the Steamboat comeback, his biggest blow a three-run home run in the bottom of the fifth. “He was the offensive star for sure,” Roy said about Capis-

tron, who had seven RBI’s in the game. Steamboat got 6 1/3 innings of work from freshman Tommy Lyon — who had a two-run double in the second game — before fellow sophomore Charles Wood got out of a bases-loaded jam in the seventh inning to pick up the save. “We were hitting, and it’s just a matter of time before it starts flying around the ball park,” Roy said. “In the first game, they didn’t have their game hats on, and we had an interesting between-game discussion, and the ball started flying around the park. That’s what these guys

are capable of. I still feel we have an excellent chance of making the playoffs this year.” Steamboat, at 5-9 overall and 4-5 in the Western Slope League, plays five games this week, the first of which is Tuesday at Eagle Valley. The team then plays a doubleheader Thursday at Palisade and a doubleheader Saturday against Battle Mountain. Roy said, with a newfound confidence, Steamboat is now certainly eyeing the playoffs. “If we can win three of those five,” he said, “we have an excellent chance of making the playoffs.”

Graham hopes to coach summer camp for athletes getting a limited amount of time outside. Still, with his newfound passion, Graham has talked about running a summer camp or summer workouts with interested athletes. Either way, he knows this is something he wants to do for years. He wants to campaign for the sport that gave him so much. “It has revitalized my passion for the sport,” he said about coaching. “I think I’ve been able to help them, and I think they’re having fun. Hopefully it brings kids out of their shells and gives other kids something to take a step toward.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

Soroco girls 1,600-meter relay team finishes 2nd at meet Track continued from 1C It was 6 3/4 inches longer than her state championship winning throw, which itself was 17 inches longer than the toss that won her last year’s regional championship. In all, Salazar has added 8 feet to her shot put in the past year. “I thought maybe she’d get to 40 feet with one throw,” Hayden coach Barbara Manzanares said. “Maybe. Turns out, she didn’t have a single throw less than 40 feet.” Salazar wasn’t the only Tiger to soak up a top finish on the otherwise miserable day. Junior high jumper Murphy Smartt won the boys high jump. He was the only jumper to clear 6 feet. He found his match when he took an opportunity to set the bar at whatever height he wanted for his final jumps. He immediately opted for 6 feet, 3 1/2 inches. It would have been a school record, but he missed on his three attempts. “Today was not a good day to try for it,” Smartt said. “It was too slick, and I couldn’t get any speed. I can get it, though. If I get my form right, I can get to 6-5.” Elsewhere, Hayden got points from a sixth-place finish by Krista Tomke in the 800-meter run and a seventh-place leap from Treyben Letlow in the boys triple jump. Jake Walker was fourth in the 100 and seventh in the long jump.

Soroco rolls in relays The rain might not have bothered Salazar, but eight hours of running and jumping in the muck left the members of Soroco’s girls 1,600-meter relay

team frustrated. “I know I didn’t run very well earlier, so the (1,600 relay) was our chance to make us feel better about the day,” Traci Schlegel said. They got their revenge. Consistent splits by Lauryn Bruggink, Schlegel and Ceanna Rossi, and a furious final lap by senior Sarajane Rossi, catapulted the team to a secondplace finish. Sarajane Rossi caught West Grand’s final runner with about 120 meters remaining to bump the team up from third. “We have a little competitive rivalry with West Grand, so that was nice,” she said. “It was neck-and-neck almost the whole way.” Soroco’s boys 1,600 relay team also was successful. Alex Estes, David Strait, Cody Miles and Ryan Tibbetts combined to finish fourth. Matt Watwood earned two top finishes. He was third with a discus throw of 138 feet, 8 1/2 inches and fifth in the shot put with a toss of 43 feet, 3 inches. Estes was sixth in the long jump and seventh in the high jump. The boys 800 relay team of Estes, Tibbetts, Miles and Jonathan Bell was seventh, and the girls team of Sarajane Rossi, Bruggink, Lindsay Miles and Schlegel was fifth. “Considering the conditions, the kids really fought through,” Soroco coach David Bruner said. “Mentally, it was really hard to get going because it was cold. There weren’t a ton of great times because of that.”

Cutter leads Steamboat Steamboat Springs senior John Cutter was second in the 1,600 and sixth in the 800, but,

like so many other racers, he mostly was just frustrated after it was all over. “Good result. Really bad time,” he said, summing up his best race in a few words. He finished the 1,600 in 4 minutes, 57.21 seconds, less than a second behind first-place Conner Roper, of Basalt. “I got a workout in. That’s really what this meet was for,” Cutter said. “Those really weren’t the times I was looking for.” Steamboat also scored with a seventh-place finish from Kimberly Heald in the 100 and a sixth-place showing by Morgan Bessette in the girls long jump.

The team’s relays also fared well. Cutter joined Peter Daley, Jacob Brenner and Gus Allen for a fifth-place finish in the 3,200 relay. Brenner, Kaelen Gunderson, Lucas Stover and Dylan Pivarnik were second in the 800 relay. The girls medley relay team with Anna Poirot, Jorid Halsnes, Corinne Landry and Brittany Long was seventh, while the 800 relay squad of Claire Tegl, Bessette, Emily Rabbitt and Heald finished fourth. — To reach Joel Reichenberger, call 871-4253 or e-mail jreichenberger@steamboatpilot.com

He sees throwing events as a special niche that could lead some athletes to a college scholarship. He said his time with the high school team has revitalized his interest in the sport. He’s already made a portable throwing ring that he built and bought for the team. Although he has been pleased with the progression of his throwers, the reality of spring sports in Steamboat has been a challenge. Graham said it’s been tough to teach all he can while only

Graham’s track and field career began in California, when he was in seventh grade. He threw and played football until his junior year of high school when he fractured his lower lumbar. “Then I went track all the way,” he said. He started having success and garnered five scholarship offers but instead decided to go to the University of Colorado where he felt he’d get the best coaching. He threw for the Buffs for four years and graduated in the summer of 1999. After that, Graham had aspirations of competing in the 2004 Athens

Olympic games. He said he knew it would have taken him four years to have a shot. He was training six days a week, doing two hours of lifting and three hours of throwing each day. But a left knee injury and the financial pinch of heavy training ended his run. Graham pretty much has been out of the sport the past few years, but when he got the opportunity to help at the high school, he jumped at the chance. “He has a higher level and great level of expertise and experience that you don’t see outside of big programs or big cities,” Steamboat head track coach Luke DeWolfe said. “I

Star forward Hedo Turkoglu hurt his left ankle with 6:51 left in the game and he had to be helped to the locker room. There was no immediate word on his condition. Keyon Dooling added 12 points and 10 assists for the Nets, who played without All-Star guard Devin Harris (shoulder). Rookie Brook Lopez added 13 points and 11 rebounds for the Nets, who were eliminated from playoff contention earlier this week.

Two games after Phoenix was eliminated from playoff contention, Grant Hill scored

19 points in 23 minutes to lead the Suns past Minnesota. Hill was 7-for-8 from the floor and played as if this game actually mattered, even though the Suns will miss the postseason for the first time in five years. Jared Dudley scored 16 points and Shaquille O’Neal had 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Suns, who gave heavy minutes to youngsters Robin Lopez, Goran Dragic and Louis Amundson.

Richard Jefferson tied a season high with 35 points and Milwaukee snapped a fourgame losing streak by beating Oklahoma City. Luke Ridnour scored 18 points and Charlie Villanueva added 14 for the Bucks, who long have been eliminated from the postseason race but will finish with a winning record at home (21-19) with one final game at the Bradley Center on Monday against Orlando.

C.J. Watson scored a careerhigh 38 points, Robert Kurz also had a career best, and Golden State used only seven players while beating Utah. Watson made all 16 foul shots and had nine assists and seven rebounds. Kurz finished with 21 points for Golden State, which led by as much as 17 and never let the playoff-

bound Jazz get closer than five despite being at a disadvantage with only seven healthy players.

Bulls 113, Bobcats 106 CHICAGO

Ben Gordon scored 39 points, John Salmons finished with 19 after a slow start and Chicago hit the .500 mark for the first time since mid-November with its fourth straight win and 11th in 14 games. Derrick Rose added 22 as the seventh-place Bulls (40-40) moved a game ahead of the Pistons with two to play heading into Monday’s meeting at Detroit. The Bulls also pulled within a half-game of sixthplace Philadelphia with their 14th win in 15 home games. Raymond Felton (26 points) and Boris Diaw (24 points) kept the Bobcats in it for 3 1/2 quarters, but the Bulls pulled away behind a late surge by Gordon and Salmons.

LaMarcus Aldridge scored 21 points, Joel Przybilla added 10 points and 14 rebounds, and the Portland Trail Blazers beat the Los Angeles Clippers, 87-72, on Saturday night to tie for third place in the Western Conference.

PGA Championship at Valhalla in 1996, when he was criticized for being in the broadcast booth instead of keeping loose on the practice range. He never would have imagined that all these years later, he would have a chance to become golf’s oldest major champion at 48. “The first two days felt like I was on vacation,” Perry said. “Today felt like a job.” They had a two-shot lead against Chad Campbell, who led briefly on the back nine until a blunder on the 16th hole when he took two shots to get out of the bunker, made double bogey and wound up with a 72.

Jim Furyk, another former U.S. Open champion, shot 68 and was three shots behind at 8-under 208. The Masters began with the anticipation of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson going headto-head in the final round, and that’s what happened. Trouble is, both were seven shots behind and still trying to convince themselves that they still had a chance. Woods began his Saturday charge by hooking his tee shot into the trees and making double bogey. His tee shot on the par3 sixth hit the base of the pin and tumbled off the green. He rallied with three birdies during the last six holes for a 70.

Mickelson’s rally was slowed by three poor chips, and he escaped with a 71 only after hitting a big slice from the trees on the 18th hole that started down the 10th fairway and wound up on the green. They were at 4-under 212. “A lot of things happen on Sunday at Augusta, and I would never put it past happening again,” Mickelson said. “I think that at this golf course, funny things can happen, and if you get momentum on your side and you’re making some birdies, you can make a lot of them.” And then he offered another scenario that he and Woods desperately need.

Alfonso Soriano made up for another poor performance by the Cubs’ bullpen, smacking a go-ahead two-run homer in the ninth inning. The Cubs entered the ninth trailing by a run, and Carlos Villanueva (1-1) — who is serving as the Brewers’ closer while Trevor Hoffman recovers from a strained oblique muscle — opened the inning by getting Koyie Hill to fly out. But pinch-hitter Reed Johnson singled to bring up Soriano, who clubbed Villanueva’s next pitch into the second deck in left field.

Paul Maholm allowed only three hits in seven innings and Ryan Doumit hit his first career grand slam — one of three Pittsburgh homers against Cincinnati. Maholm (1-0) got his first road win since July 22, a stretch of futility that was more a reflection of Pittsburgh’s offense than his pitching.

Making the best of canceled plans

ric Meyer has been through a lot in the past year, so he may have a more stringent litmus test than most when it comes to what qualifies as “bad news” and what does not. Whatever the Steamboat Springs-based climber called it, a phone call last month that said the funding from his latest Himalayan endeavor had been withdrawn wasn’t what he had been hoping to hear. The trip to Mount Everest, to be Meyer’s second after he summited the world’s tallest mountain in 2004, was put on ice after two major European sponsors withdrew their funding in the tight economy. “They didn’t think it’d look very good to be sponsoring an Everest expedition when they’re having to lay people off,” Meyer said. The news came just six weeks before Meyer and his team planned to head for Nepal. Meyer, a Steamboat Springs doctor, already had planned to take a few months off work. Faced with a completely blank schedule, he didn’t hesitate to make the most of it. Now on the itinerary is a lengthy summer climbing trip to peaks in Montana and Canada. He plans to head to Europe for a ski mountaineering trek and has his eyes on a “pretty ambitious” canyoneering trip to Utah’s Zion National Park. “I’m just trying to make the best of it,” Meyer said. Europe, Montana and Utah may be what most of us consider more than consolation prizes, but Meyer said the trip to Everest still is his main focus. The trip to Everest originally included many of the same climbers who traveled last summer to Pakistan with Meyer in an attempt to summit K2, the world’s second-tallest mountain. Although one of Meyer’s team did accomplish that goal, the trip ended in disaster when 11 climbers were killed after a series of falls and avalanches ravaged the upper reaches of the mountain. None from Meyer’s climbing team were among the killed or injured, but they spent the next several days helping survivors reach safety. Meyer said he’s banking on the fact the year’s Everest disappointment will be just that — one year’s disappointment. The team’s plans have been pushed back one year. Meyer and his climbing partners will be venturing to the upper reaches of Mount Everest in hopes of solving an 85-year-old mystery. Sir Edmund Hillary is widely recognized as the first person to conquer Everest, reaching the top in 1953. British climber George Mallory and his climbing partner Andrew Irvine died on Everest’s upper slopes in 1924, however. They were seen within a few hundred meters of the summit, but no one knows whether they actually made it there or not. Mallory’s body wasn’t found until 1999, but it didn’t end the mystery. Working with new research, Meyer and his team hope to find evidence to finally answer that question. Now, that sounds like an adventure worth waiting for.

Hucking Hell’s Wall a rare feat for ski jumpers

ike so much about it, the exact height of Hell’s Wall is up for debate. “Between 80 and 100 feet,” 22-year-old Steamboat Springs extreme skier Kerry Lofy said. “Probably 90.” Gabe Nicholas, STORY BY who lived in JOEL Steamboat REICHENBERGER for more than a decade, guessed a hair higher. “I figured it’s at least 100 feet,” he said, trying to remember the massive rock wall that awaits skiers brave — and foolhardy — enough to venture through the out-of-bounds gates at Steamboat Ski Area. Lofy thought again. “It’s 120 feet without any snow,” he said. He certainly got a good look. Lofy spent 30 minutes last week standing on the edge of the cliff, eagerly peering over as his friends and, on this day, documenters, skied, climbed and crawled into position to photograph and videotape what was about to happen. And then, as the sun ducked between the clouds on the front edge of a spring storm, he jumped.

SUNDAY FOCUS

‘My true passion’ The son of two ski patrollers, Wisconsin-born Kerry Lofy has been skiing longer than he can remember. “It’s the only thing I’m really good at,” he said Thursday, “Well, not the only thing. I’m good at other things, but skiing is my true passion.” His skiing dreams were strong enough that he moved to Steamboat Springs four years ago and consistent enough that he has worked to master nearly every element of the sport. He has competed as a freestyle skier, then joined the Colorado Mountain College Alpine skiing team after moving to Steamboat. He competed a year ago on the skier cross circuit but still coaches in the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club Alpine Program. None of it has been enough to hold his attention, however. “I just get bored easily,” he said, shaking his unkempt hair with a laugh. “I’ve done it all. Extreme skiing is the one discipline that incorporates everything together.” He spent this winter on an extreme skiing circuit across the region. Competitions led him to heli-skiing adventures in Telluride and over a series of large cliffs near Aspen. He never forgot the cliff that looms over out-of-bounds skiers at Steamboat, however. “If you go out of bounds and into Fish Creek Canyon, there are only so many runs, and you can see the wall from half of them,” he said. “I just looked at it and — wow. Sick.”

‘A beautiful cliff’ Among the lingering questions about Hell’s Wall — all 80, 90 or 120 feet of it — is how many people actually have jumped it. The harrowing jump is highly treacherous and not at all recommended for skiers, snowboarders or daredevils. It should, at the very least, only be attempted by those with vast jumping experience and skill.

The number of jumpers may be as low as four. There are rumors of someone in the 1980s making the leap, though at this point, that’s little more than a story. Gabe Nicholas certainly jumped it. “I did it in January of 2003,” he said, speaking over the phone from his home in Lexington, Ky. His feat was featured almost a year later in the December 2003 edition of Skiing magazine. “It really is a beautiful cliff,” the extreme skier turned civil engineer said. “We called it the crown jewel of Steamboat.” Nicholas and Lofy each spent about two weeks before the jump thoroughly scouting the takeoff and landing points. Aware of the danger, Lofy brought along two friends with EMT training and slipped word to other friends on ski patrol and search and rescue. Just getting to the top of the wall can be difficult. “The approach is really steep,” Nicholas explained. He made the jump by pushing away from a tree line about 50 yards above the cliff, then making a few turns before going over. “You have to follow this spine. It’s narrow. Off to the left, it goes down into a meat grinder and to the right, it’s death, too,” he said. “It was like skiing on top of a church. “I made about four turns. It happens fast.” Nicholas said he flew off and stuck the landing. He lost a ski on impact but still coasted away through a cloud of snow. Lofy, who perched atop the edge of the cliff and jumped instead of skiing down from the trees, also lost a ski. He said it’s a far more complex operation than simply hurling oneself over a cliff in hopes of a safe landing, and he only tried the Wall after having spent a lifetime managing smaller jumps and a winter knocking out more treacherous ones on the freestyle skiing tour. Seven feet of fresh snow last week convinced him the conditions were good enough. He used more than half of that cushion when he landed. “I was four feet deep in the snow,” he said. “Then I got out, yelled and did a front flip.”

‘It opened a lot of doors’ Nicholas’ feature photo in Skiing a year later was only the start of his Hell’s Wall huck’s side effects. “It opened a lot of doors for me,” he said. “I started shooting with more photogs, which led to more publications. I was in Powder magazine twice, Skiing three times.” He even landed a few equipment sponsorships out of the deal. Lofy has similar ambitions. He had six friends along to help record the experience, three with cameras and three with video cameras and hopes to land one of the photos in a magazine. Lofy graduated from CMC and plans to return to school and pursue a career in the medical field. But his season of big mountain skiing, capped by the Hell’s Wall jump, could mark the beginning of something entirely different. “It’s not about the money,” he explained, contemplating some sort of daredevil skiing

Lofy jumped the roughly 100-foot-tall cliff after having spent the year competing on an extreme skiing tour. The 22-year-old Wisconsin native loaded up on extra back braces and extra cushioning but credited his experience for managing the feat without injury. Kerry Lofy, who hucked Hell’s Wall last week, managed to make the 100-foot drop without injury. The 22-year-old Steamboat Springs skier has competed in several skiing disciplines and coaches Alpine skiers with the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club but said he loves extreme skiing most as it incorporates his favorite attributes from all of them.

career. “I just always have to push the envelope.” In fact, he might not even be finished with one of Routt County’s most treacherous leaps. “In competition, you might hit three or four big cliffs,” he said. “I usually will do a front flip or a trick. I was debating that for Hell’s Wall. “I think I might go back and do it.” He paused for a moment, waiting to add some certainty to a foggy section of Steamboat lore. “Yeah,” he said. “I will.” — To reach Joel Reichenberger, call 871-4253 or e-mail jreichenberger@steamboatpilot.com

Actors Ellen Woglom, left, and Kelly Blatz perform in a scene from the upcoming movie “April Showers.” Woglom was a freshman at Steamboat Springs High School on April 20, 1999, when two students walked into Columbine High School and killed 13 people before taking their own lives. The film addresses the effects of the shootings on its teenaged survivors. The film goes into limited release April 24.

Film about Columbine shootings stars former SSHS student

n April 19, 1999, Andrew Robinson was simply a student at Columbine High School. On April 20, and in the weeks that followed, he and his classmates became an exhibit. “We were treated at arms length by people because they didn’t want to upset us STORY BY but they MARGARET HAIR … wanted to come and see us,” Robinson said, describing the mass of television cameras, newspaper reporters and media outlets that descended on the Littleton high school after two students killed 12 classmates and one teacher in one of the bloodiest school shootings in United States history. That day has been chronicled in countless news clips, TV shows and films, including Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.” Most show the build-up, taking the killers’ point of view in an attempt to understand what happened. For Robinson, those depictions miss a big piece of the Columbine story.

SUNDAY FOCUS

For more “April Showers” follows six survivors of the 1999 Columbine High School shooting in their weeks of grieving after the event. The film is written and directed by Columbine alumnus Andrew Robinson, who was a senior at the school at the time of the shooting. The cast includes Tom Arnold (“True Lies”), Illeana Douglas (“Ghost World”), Kelly Blatz (“Prom Night”) and former Steamboat Springs High School student Ellen Woglom (“Law and Order: SVU”). The film does not have any scheduled screenings in Steamboat Springs. To watch a trailer for the movie, go to www.aprilshowersmovie.com.

“Having gone through Columbine and having been a part of that experience in varying degrees and surviving it, I know that there had been a number of films that were geared toward similartype subject matter, but none of them ever really looked at what it does and what it means to survive through something like that as a teenager, through something that public,” Robinson said. “April Showers,” a movie written and directed by Robinson that goes into limited release April 24, follows

six Columbine survivors in the weeks after the shooting.

Taking the lead Actress Ellen Woglom remembers sitting in her freshman Spanish class at Steamboat Springs High School on April 20, 1999. As the Columbine trauma unfolded on a television screen, Woglom watched with her classmates, feeling the effects of a shooting that was happening three hours away. “I can remember where I was when it happened, being three hours away. … I can remember

being in school with the TVs on and the cause and effect that it triggered and how we had to have metal detectors and police at school,” Woglom said. That experience brought Woglom to “April Showers” — she plays April Lauren, the female lead. Woglom’s family moved to Steamboat Springs when she was in fourth grade. She attended Steamboat Springs Middle School, and spent her first year of high school here before moving to a New England boarding school, where See Film, page 2D

Routt County school districts still are looking for good teachers, but with fewer positions to fill and an influx of applications, the odds of finding a teaching position in the county are slimmer than ever. The Steamboat Springs School District, for example, is sending representaMuhme tives to three job fairs across the state. But those efforts often are as much about marketing themselves for the future as they are about filling immediate needs. “The number of applicants in the teaching pool is … extremely high. A lot are looking at alternative licensing,” Steamboat Springs Middle School Assistant Principal Jerry Buelter said. He and middle school Principal Tim Bishop attended a job fair in Greeley on March 26, but because of a snowstorm, the fair was canceled midday. Even during the first part of the day, Buelter said it was clear the supply outpaced the demand. “There are a lot of people looking for work and, unfortunately, not a lot of districts looking for staff. We didn’t have a lot of staff openings this year, but we decided to go in the hopes of getting our name out there,” he said. “If we see candidates who have potential, we encourage them to apply so at least they’ll be a part of the application pool.” District Human Resources Director Anne Muhme said the number of open positions in the district won’t be clear until closer to the beginning of the 2009-10 school year because, per contract, teachers must give only 30 days notice if they don’t plan to return. “A lot of paraprofessional folks decide on a different job over the summer. We won’t know until August,” she said. That has not discouraged applicants either, Muhme said. “At the (job fair) I went to, we had quite a bit of interest. We had applicants for positions we didn’t think we even have open.” Muhme said the district typically fills 70 positions each year, See Positions, page 3D

Revitalizing the soul of Hayden DOLA officials to guide discussion with community Tuesday Blythe Terrell

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

HAYDEN

In Tammie Delaney’s opinion, the town of Hayden could go in two directions: It could preserve its heritage, or it could lose its soul. Delaney is a member of the Hayden Economic Development Commission and will participate in a two-day discussion of the town’s future. Department of Local Affairs representatives, residents, busi-

ness owners and experts will sit down at the table Monday and Tuesday. Her assessment, Delaney admits, is blunt. “I think so many communities have gone the way of chain stores, big stores, big boxes … and I think that loses the whole character of the community,” she said. Hayden still has its character, Delaney said. That puts the town in a strong position to revitalize its downtown without selling out.

“Once they’ve lost that authenticity of historic areas and historic districts, you can never rebuild it,” she said. Delaney’s concerns and desires will be only part of the discussion. The town welcomes every resident and business owner to weigh in, Town Manager Russ Martin said.

MILESTONES BIRTHS

Ground moist but snow below average 75 YEARS AGO

Tanyon Alan Anderson, son of Katie and Nate Anderson, of Steamboat Springs, was born at 6:18 p.m. on March 27, 2009. He weighed 8 pounds, 5 ounces and was 19.5 inches long. His grandparents are Dee and Al Luce, and Tom and Kay Anderson, all of Steamboat. He has one sibling, Adilana Anderson. Mikaylla Sophie Moreira Lopes, daughter of Iva Lopes and Tharles Silva, of Steamboat Springs, was born at 12:21 a.m. on March 30, 2009. She weighed 8 pounds, 5 ounces and was 21 inches long. Her grandparents are Mario Moreira da Silva, Ana Luca da Mata Moreira, Gelso Lopes and Lurdes Lopez, all of Brazil.

Looking Back

From the Friday, April 13, 1934 edition of The Steamboat Pilot:

Articles from our archives

Forest Ranger M.K. Klemme says he thinks the ground has an average level of moisture this spring but most of the snow has gone into the ground instead of running off, as has been the case in years past. The Yampa and Snake rivers are at lower levels this spring than at any time in the history of the inhabitants. Last fall, the season was started with the ground fairly well-saturated with moisture because of several early snows. This condition existed in Western Routt and Moffat counties particularly. Mr. Klemme said the conditions for dry farming and the range appear better than at this time last year. Conditions are not so good, however, for the irrigated lands, because of the absence of the large snow drifts held back up in the heavy timber. It is the gradual melting of these huge drifts during the summer months which furnishes most of the water supply for irrigation purposes.

Carsen Brooke Kortas, daughter of Andrea and Jefferson Kortas, of Steamboat Springs, was born at 12:45 a.m. March 14, 2009. She weighed 7 pounds, 4 ounces and was 19.5 inches long. Her grandparents are Mike Kortas and Nina Darlington, Kathy Kortas, Paula Loveland, Butch Loveland, and Don and Patti Thorne. She has two older sisters, Taylor and Parker.

PWA receives applications from farmers for loans Applications for production loans to farmers in Routt, Moffat, Rio Blanco, Mesa, Garfield, Eagle, Pitkin and Lake counties now are being received by Robert Macintosh, secretary-treasurer of the Rifle Production Credit Association at Rifle. According to Mr. Macintosh, all loans will be made on a business basis in line with the security furnished by the applicant. “The loans that will be made in this county and in the other seven counties served by the Rifle association must be good loans and loans that are collectable if the association is to continue as a permanent service to farmers in this and other communities, as intended,” Mr. Macintosh said. “Fortunately, not all farmers in this county need credit,” he continued, “but for those who do, the association stands as a business organization — not as a charity institution.”

Lamansky: It’s the economy but “it will probably be lower this year,” she said. Steamboat Springs High School Assistant Principal Marty Lamansky plans to attend another job fair Wednesday at Colorado State University. “Right now, we’re just getting a pool of general applications because we don’t know what we have to fill,” he said. Hayden School District Superintendent Greg Rockhold said he has sent representatives

to job fairs across the state, but he expects to fill just four teaching positions for the next school year. He said one position at Hayden Middle School will not be filled because of budget cuts. Lamansky said few members of his staff have shown any intention of leaving after this school year ends in June, and he expects there to be few spots to fill. “It’s the economy,” he said. — To reach Zach Fridell, call 871-4208 or e-mail zfridell@steamboatpilot.com

A joke from Lila

Irene Meyers visited Doak last week.

School district seeking 2009-10 calendar input The Steamboat Springs School District is asking for community input before the 2009-10 calendar goes before the Steamboat Springs School Board at its meeting Monday. The calendar, prepared by Superintendent Shalee Cunningham and the administrative team, calls for classes to start in August. Cunningham said the proposed 2009-10 academic calendar was shifted to accommodate parents’ requests that the school year begin closer to Labor Day. The proposed calendar also increases the number of staff workdays from 12 in the current year to 15 for the next two years. A committee of school staff and community members created the draft calendar, which

was first presented at a March meeting of the School Board. The draft calls for students to begin class Aug. 31 and continue until June 11. The calendar retains two weeks for student holiday vacation at the end of December, a weeklong “Blues Break” in February and a week without class after Steamboat Ski Area closes in April.

UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

Sunday, April 12, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Claire Danes, 30; Riley Smith, 31; Nicholas Brendon, 38; David Letterman, 62 Happy Birthday: It may be time to let go of some people in your life and to improve your relationship with others. Choose wisely and you will build a strong team around you, capable of encouraging and supporting you. Taking on many responsibilities may seem like a good idea but it will take away from achieving your most important goals. Your numbers are 5, 9, 15, 22, 26, 39, 49 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You deserve a bit of a break to recoup and regroup. Times are changing and you need to ready yourself for both good and bad situations. A gift or money will come to you from an unusual source. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Get to the bottom of personal matters that are bothering you. Basing your reactions on assumptions and hearsay will only lead to emotional upset and more trouble. Someone may be trying to do you more harm than good. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t give in to anyone trying to outmaneuver you. Stay on top of your game. Anger will not help but, if you apply your energy to passionate encounters or to wholeheartedly engaging in a cause or project you love, you will make gains. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Favorable change, that will beneﬁt you on many different levels, is in the stars. Colleagues and friends will bend to help you in whatever way they can. Out of everything that occurs, you will realize your true potential. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t react too fast. There is still work to be done and alterations to be made. Traveling and treating yourself to some little extras is a nice thought but may end up leaving you cash poor later. Don’t be fooled into thinking you have more than you do. ★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Chat someone up about a plan you have and you will get support and helpful input. There appear to be some changes in your personal life and with partnerships. If you are ﬂexible, you can talk your way through any hurdle. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This is a great day to experience something different and make some new contacts at the same time. Self-expression will open doors and help you develop something creative. Selfimprovement and pampering should be on your to-do list. ★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You should be out mingling and having fun. Love and romance should be scheduled in and promises to someone special can be made. Speak forcefully and with passion and you will get everything you want. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Tread very carefully. You can count on someone not liking what you are up to and causing you grief. Now is not the time to make alterations, renovations or domestic changes. Ultimatums will not ﬂy. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Get to the bottom of things in your personal life and you will feel much better. Your ability to express yourself openly and honestly will help you determine what you are up against. Trust in your ability to adapt and you will win. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Stick to what you know and don’t try to change other people. You will not win if you are forceful, emotional or make demands. Impatience and lack of discipline will be your downfall. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You need to rejuvenate and what better way than a change of scenery. It is a time of growth, development, love and romance, so don’t waste precious time when you can make great strides in your personal life. ★★★★★ Birthday Baby: You are unique, creative and determined to follow your dream. You are inclined to take on too much. You are giving and caring.
