Funds divide banks Lenders disagree about using economic recovery dollars Tom Ross

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

A couple of Steamboat Springs bankers are enthusiastic about their plans to put federal stimulus dollars to work locally. Others don’t want to touch the government funds. “We did not apply for it; we have no desire to participate

ever. We don’t want it, can’t use it,” Terry Jost said. “We just don’t need the government more involved in our bank than they already are.” Jost is chairman of the board and CEO for all four locations of Mountain Valley Bank. In contrast to Jost’s position, Adonna Allen, president of Alpine Bank in Steamboat Springs, is optimistic her com-

pany’s 37 locations can leverage $70 million in federal investments to reinvigorate the real estate and construction industries in the region. “Our economy is so dependent on some of these industries,” Allen said. “We think we can help start the whole cycle MATT STENSLAND/STAFF again.” Alpine Bank in Steamboat Springs President Adonna Allen and mortgage

lender David High plan to use federal Capital Purchase Program dollars to underwrite some of the bank’s mortgage lending business.

Colorado transportation officials Saturday reopened a lengthy section of Interstate 70 that was closed overnight, stranding hundreds of travelers, by a storm that dumped more than 3 feet of snow in the region west of Denver. A winter storm warning remained in effect for parts of the state, the National Weather Service said. More than 500 people had spent the night at three shelters in Idaho Springs and Georgetown after the closure of the 80-mile stretch of I-70 in the mountains, said Jim Rettew, an American Red Cross spokesman. The Colorado National Guard delivered two truckloads of cots, blankets and food to the stranded travelers. Colorado Department of Transportation spokesman Bob Wilson said Saturday morning that the highway was reopened but cautioned drivers to expect heavy traffic and sloppy road conditions throughout the day. “It’s not the I-70 you know in a June afternoon,” Wilson said. After the highway reopened, the shelters were shut down Saturday. About 90 people spent the night at an elementary school in Idaho Springs, including people traveling from Alaska, Utah and Washington, D.C., said shelter manager Linda Broom. “They were really most appreciative and in good spirits because it was pretty late, and they had been sitting in traffic. They slept well,” Broom said. “One slept extremely well, as we could all hear.” The heaviest snowfall was in the foothills west of Denver, with 43 inches at Pinecliffe and 36 at Black Hawk, said weather service meteorologist Scott Entrekin. He said April sometimes could be one of the state’s snowiest months.

32 animals leave ring unsold at 7th annual event Saturday

SUNDAYFOCUS STORY BY BLYTHE TERRELL Fairgrounds in Hayden. Folks shelled out $65,450 of the sweet stuff, buying 35 bulls for an average $1,870 each. But 27 bulls and 5 heifers left the ring unsold, which

was disappointing, said Marsha Daughenbaugh, executive director of the Community Agriculture Alliance. Consignors typically sell about 44 bulls at the show, she said. Last year, buyers picked up 47 bulls and 14 heifers for a total of $98,070. See Bull Sale, back page

The first officers on the scene had never trained for what they found at Columbine High School: No hostages. No demands. Just killing. In the hours that followed, the For more nation watched Columbine in horror as the anniversary standard police See page 7A procedure for dealing with shooting rampages in the U.S. proved tragically, heartbreakingly flawed April 20, 1999. Two officers exchanged fire with one of the teenage gunmen just outside the school door, then stopped — as they had been trained to do — to wait for a SWAT team. During the 45 minutes it took for the SWAT team to assemble and go in, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold shot 10 of the 13 people they killed that day. The killers committed suicide about the time the makeshift SWAT team finally entered. But the SWAT officers took several hours more to secure the place, moving methodically from room to room. One of the wounded, teacher Dave Sanders, slowly bled to death. “It was really frustrating,” said Marjorie Lindholm, a grief counselor and speaker at police training seminars. Lindholm was a 16-year-old student in a science classroom where two classmates used their T-shirts to try to stanch Sanders’ bleeding. “We were told ‘They’re on their way, they’re coming.”’ Ten years later, Columbine has transformed the way police in the U.S. deal with shooting rampages.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Emily’s Discovery Sally was on her feet immediately, hurrying over, hardly daring to hope, scarcely able to breathe. “Is it — Elizabeth?” she whispered. “No,” said Emily, looking up at her from where she was kneeling on the floor behind the chest. “It’s this!” And with a triumphant flourish, she held something up in one hand. Sally at first could not say a word. Then, “Emily,” she whispered, “it’s Elizabeth’s bonnet!” Emily nodded her head up and down several times, her grin widening all the while, till it stretched almost to her ears. Sally’s trembling fingers reached out to take the little yellow bonnet. “It really is!” she cried, looking up at Emily. “And you found it! But where?” “Right here,” she said proudly, pointing to a spot on the dusty floor near her knees. Sally stared at the spot as if she expected it to tell her something. “But I looked back here yesterday,” she said, “and I’m sure it wasn’t here then.” Emily was not smiling now. Her eyes were very dark and round with astonishment. The two girls stared at each other. They could hear the steady ticking of the grandfather clock, like the beating of the heart of the house. And indeed, at that moment, the house did seem to Sally to be alive, and more than that, to know something, about Elizabeth and the other Sally, about herself and Aunt Sarah. Houses must get to know something, she thought, with all the things that happen in them. Was it trying to tell her something? “But how did it get here, then?” Emily asked. Sally shook her head. “I don’t know, but do you realize what this means?” she said. “It means that Elizabeth is here somewhere. I was right!” Emily nodded. Sally got down on her hands and knees and peered beneath the chest of drawers.

indeed.” And she gave the bonnet back to Sally, handling it very gently. “Wouldn’t it be funny,” she said, as if she were talking to herself, “if you did find Elizabeth after all these years?” It was hard to say goodbye to Emily that day, for both of them wanted to go on and on talking about the bonnet and how it could have come to be there on the floor of the attic, and where else they could look for Elizabeth. Even Aunt Sarah was caught up in their enthusiasm. “You’re very sure,” she said, “that you looked everywhere?” They nodded. “Well,” said Aunt Sarah at last, “maybe after dinner and a good night’s sleep, you’ll think of something.” “May we look again tomorrow?” Sally asked her aunt as Emily was leaving. “Of course,” said Aunt Sarah. “And Emily’s invited to come again for lunch.” Emily gave a little crow of delight and leapt from the top porch step down to the path, her braids flying. “Thank you, Aunt Sarah,” said Sally when the gate had closed behind her friend. “You’re very welcome, Sally.” And to Sally’s immense surprise, Aunt Sarah bent down and kissed her on the cheek! Sally was too dumfounded to do anything but stand there, fingering the little bonnet in her pocket and feeling, for some reason, completely happy. She went to sleep that night, the bonnet on the night table next to her bed, feeling sure somehow that the next day she and Emily would find Elizabeth at last. But it was not to be. To be continued.

The Story So Far: Sally has taken Emily up into the attic and shown her the trunk and the other Sally’s old-fashioned clothes and her diary. Now Emily has discovered something behind a chest of drawers.

She sat up. “She’s not there,” she said. She looked down at the faded little bonnet in the palm of her hand. “Emily,” she said, looking up at her friend, “it almost seems as if Elizabeth is leaving clues for us, doesn’t it?” “Maybe she really is magic,” Emily said. “Maybe she wants us to find her,” said Sally. “Yes,” agreed Emily. “Do you think she’s playing a game with us?” Sally thought for a moment. “No,” she said at last, “I don’t think so. I think it’s just that she can’t do everything for us. We have to do something to find her.” It seemed to her as she spoke that she knew Elizabeth very well, knew that she would not play such a game with them, would never tease them. Or

was it the other Sally she knew so well? After all, it was the other Sally who had first imagined things with Elizabeth, just as Sally herself was doing. “But what can we do?” asked Emily. “We can start looking all over again,” said Sally. Determination strengthened her voice. She stood up and slipped the little hat into her pocket. Once more they made a careful search of the attic. “She isn’t here anywhere,” said Emily at last, turning her dust-streaked face to Sally. Sally nodded wearily. “There’s just nowhere else to look,” she agreed. But Elizabeth has to be somewhere, she reminded herself, touching the little bonnet in her pocket. They went downstairs

to show their find to Aunt Sarah, who could not seem to believe that she held the little bonnet in her fingers. She was looking at it as if it were a small ghost. “Elizabeth was wearing the bonnet when she got lost, wasn’t she?” asked Sally anxiously, for she had just realized that maybe the bonnet had never been lost at all. And that would mean that Elizabeth was as far away as ever! But Aunt Sarah nodded. “I’m certain that she was,” she answered firmly. “You say the bonnet wasn’t there yesterday?” she asked. Sally shook her head. “I know it wasn’t. I looked. I remember looking in that very place.” “It’s very strange,” said Aunt Sarah, “very strange

Competition for tourist dollars is expected to be fierce this summer. It’ll be so fierce, in fact, that the head of the Gunnison-Crested Butte Tourism Association wouldn’t breathe a word of her strategy. “I thought you were kidding when you asked me that question,” Director Jane Chaney said to a reporter Friday. Chaney’s group clearly has a plan. But so does the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association, which is preparing its summer marketing arsenal on a trimmed budget. The Chamber has cut some advertising but is planning two new events, Marketing Director Lynna Broyles said.

“Overall, our strategy has been shifted a little bit from previous years,” Broyles said. “We will certainly be targeting our drive market, our regional market as much as possible. We will maintain even with a reduced budget our presence in the Front Range.” The Chamber’s marketing budget is $564,200 this year, she said, about a 10 percent cut from last year. The city of Steamboat Springs has agreed to pay that $564,200 to the Chamber during 10 months. In winter, Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. handles marketing. As part of its tweaked budget,

the Chamber won’t do any television advertising this year, Broyles said. She’s reduced national advertising and has no money for research. The Chamber has ramped up its Web site and plans to hit hard on statewide advertising. Broyles also has set aside money to continue a popular promotion. The Chamber offered $50 gas gift cards to visitors last year, which were good for any Chamber member gas station or Chamber business. She plans to offer 60 of those again. “That’s something that was an added bonus,” Broyles said. “They could go buy a T-shirt or a sweatshirt or whatever they wanted or have a dinner on the gift certificate. … That was See Marketing, page 8A

Families are making tough decisions about their money and so too will their government, President Barack Obama said Saturday, promising that spending cuts are coming — and soon. At a Cabinet meeting Monday, the president will ask department and agency officials for specific proposals for trimming their Obama budgets. “If we’re going to rebuild our economy on a solid foundation, we need to change the way we do business in Washington. We need to restore the American people’s confidence in their government — that it is on their side, spending their money wisely, to meet their families’ needs,” Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address, released while he attended the Summit of the Americans in Trinidad. To help achieve his goal of an efficient government, Obama announced the appointment of Jeffrey Zients, a founder and managing partner of the investment firm Portfolio Logic, as chief performance officer.

Atmos Energy files to lower natural gas costs Atmos Energy Corporation last week filed with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission to receive a gas cost adjustment to decrease the cost of natural gas for its northwest/central Colorado customers. If approved by the COPUC, the decrease will take effect May 1. The adjustment would reduce the residential gas cost rate by 33 percent and the commercial rate by 34 percent. The residential rate would change from $1.03 per 100 cubic feet, or ccf, to $0.69 per ccf, and the commercial rate would change from $1.00 per ccf to $0.67 per ccf. Atmos Energy officials said in a news release that the changes result from a continuing decline in wholesale natural gas prices during recent months. “We are very pleased to propose this decrease as a result of lower natural gas prices,” said Gary Schlessman, president of Atmos Energy’s Colorado-Kansas Division. “Atmos Energy does not make a profit on the cost of natural gas. Our customers are charged, penny-for-penny, the same price for natural gas that we are charged by producers.” Schlessman said that Atmos Energy earns its income from fees for delivering natural gas to customers and for maintaining its utility distribution system.

K&K Wools owner Karyn Tussey has sold yarn through her online store for nearly four years. Her shop on Moffat Avenue in Yampa opens formally Monday.

On Monday, Karyn Tussey will open a yarn shop in Yampa. Tussey’s shop,

K&K Wools, won’t look exactly like the Fiber Exchange. But Tussey plans to buy some of Anderson’s stock and said she hopes her store fills a similar role. “We’ll be putting in a nice table and chairs so ladies can be here, have a cup of tea, hang out,” Tussey said.

Recycling prices decrease Economic recession affects demand for paper, plastics Pam Zubeck

The recession hasn’t only driven down retail sales and wiped out jobs; it’s taken a toll on rubbish. As demand declined for commodities such as paper, cardboard and plastics, so did prices at recycle mills where household and commercial waste is sold for reuse. Prices for metals such as copper and aluminum declined by

about 50 percent since last fall before recovering a little. “We’ve been in the recycling industry for 40 years, and the reality is that there are cycles in terms of highs and lows. That’s not unusual,” said Melissa Kolwaite, Waste Management’s

manager of communications in Denver. “What has made this a little unique is, not only is it coupled with a down economy, but the drop happened quite quickly,” she said. Newsprint decreased to $50 per ton as of April 1, from $170 per ton in September in the southwestern United States. But plunging prices have had no effect locally or nationally on recycling, according to industry experts and local trash haulers.

Positive signs showing for Iron Horse Inn

he city’s potential lease of Iron Horse Inn motel rooms to Colorado Mountain College could be a sensible short-term solution to an increasingly embarrassing expenditure of taxpayer money. Better yet is the city’s long-term plan to redevelop the site, buoyed by last week’s City AT ISSUE Council adoption of a motion Iron Horse Inn to put out a request for proposals for the 52-room motel. Anything seems better than OUR VIEW the present situation. Of the CMC deal, Iron Horse Inn’s 52 rooms, redevelopment only five currently are occuproposals pied. And of those occupants, only three are city employees. signal step in right direction. Keep in mind that the intent of the $5.3 million Iron Horse Inn purchase in October 2007 was to provide affordable housing to city employees. Although it’s true that a few seasonal city bus drivers occupied Iron Horse Inn rooms until recently, it’s safe to say the motel purchase has fallen far short of expectations. The pending lease agreement with Colorado Mountain College’s Alpine Campus provides some hope of a turnaround. City and college officials are putting the final touches on what could be a two-year agreement to rent 26 rooms to CMC students. The deal would provide the college with much-needed student housing and the city with stable rental income. City officials say only minor work is needed to ready the rooms for students, and new mattresses have been ordered for the rooms. The deal would need to be signed off on by Resort Group, which has the contract to manage the Iron Horse Inn on behalf of the city. While Resort Group continues to manage the property, it removed all of its employees who were renting rooms in the motel in early February because of a bedbug infestation. Those rooms — 36 in all — remain unoccupied, and no rent is being collected from them. The city and Resort Group plan to meet soon in hopes of ironing out a compromise. Long term, the city is looking at redeveloping the Iron Horse site and has narrowed down a list of potential development firms to five. On Tuesday, the City Council approved a request for proposals process for the potential redevelopment project. The five firms chosen by the city have experience developing affordable housing projects. It appears the city remains open to allowing the developers to be creative in their proposals, and that’s an approach we fully support. We hope they bring forward proposals that make long-term housing and economic sense for the city. Better yet, the city hopes to capitalize on federal stimulus dollars and Community Development Block Grant funds to help with any potential redevelopment of the site. That’s the best news we’ve heard in months about the Iron Horse. Who knows, maybe there’s long-term hope for this boondoggle after all.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Stop Pinnacol raids Sen. Al White, I implore you to drop the proposed raids on Pinnacol Assurance in the forms of Senate bills 273 and 281. The money you are planning to steal from this agency does not belong to the State of Colorado in general. These funds belong to Colorado businesses like mine that have paid dutifully into this agency as required by law and have had zero claims for workers compensation, in my case throughout the entire 20 years of doing business in our fine state. To date, I have received a total of $689 dividend for this good behavior. To take this money now amounts to an unlawful tax on the small businesses that provide most of the new jobs our state and nation need so greatly at this time. Small operations such as my own have no choice other than Pinnacol Assurance for the required protection of our employees. The rates I pay are sure to go up if you insist on gutting these funds that I and some 40,000 other businesspeople have invested in our workforce. Sooner or later, these attacks on small businesses will cause some of us to fold. The straw that breaks the camel’s back is coming to us from those we have elected to act on our behalf. I will not be hoodwinked by the proposal for a one-time rebate to small outfits such as mine. You want to throw me a fish while you dry up the lake! Yes, Al, I voted for you in the last election. Your previous record showed reasonable actions on your part. You were the only Republican I voted for in 2008 — a coveted swing vote in your favor. Now, I feel like a fool. I don’t like to feel like a fool, and I promise that if you continue on your quest to tax me in this way, I will never vote for you again and will actively seek your removal from office by whatever means necessary.

Last Sunday’s guest commentary from Mary K. Allen (“God bless America”) needs a reply. Yes, Obama does represent America when he is abroad and should do so in a good manner. He should not, let’s say, invade a country that did nothing to us, nor should he lie to the American people about weapons of mass destruction and then be responsible for the deaths of a hundred thousand Iraqis. Obama’s “cool demeanor” and “narcissism and ineptness” would not even register on the radar screen of the previous president. Reagan’s “shining city on a hill”

now has the electric bill overdue, and we can’t pay it. How you can blame the problems on the Democrats when 12 of the past 14 years were with a Republican Congress and 20 of the past 28 years found a GOP president? A “prosperous and generous nation” no longer is possible for millions of Americans because of, in part, the greed and deregulation of Reaganomics. Allen speaks about “less, rather than more, government,” when Reagan and George W. Bush created our history’s largest. “Individual responsibility” shrinks in the fact that the last administration took no responsibility for any of its mistakes. Our framers did write incredible documents that have been used by many countries forming their own new democracies. Bush chose to shred them. And Obama can speak well without a teleprompter. George has an eight-volume set of “Bushisms.” And for Allen to suggest that Obama, with his multi-racial, middle-class, earn-iton-your-own background, loves America any less than the fratboy, partying son of George H.W. Bush — well, that is a great leap of faith. So if Ms. Allen wants America to return to the idyllic, conservative, competent, fiscally responsible, small government that she says we had, one might suggest that she gets back on board the spaceship and return to whichever planet she has been on for the past eight years because it wasn’t America and it wasn’t planet Earth. God, please bless America.

Wasted time Any improvements to this government by the Obama administration or any administration will be short-lived if the underlying issue of campaign finance reform is not addressed. The vast majority of our government’s and nation’s problems directly are linked to this issue. Pick almost any issue we are facing today — the economic meltdown, the state of our health care system (the richest nation in the history of the world rated 37th), our dependence on oil (funding terrorism and wreaking havoc on the planet’s environment) — and it can be traced back to the fact that our politicians are not as much elected as they are purchased through unlimited donations. Almost every campaign comes down to which candidate raised the most money. The solution is easy, and now is the time to get it done: 1. Allow only individuals to donate to political campaigns with a set limit, such as $100 a candidate per voter; 2. Permit individuals to donate only to those candidates for

whom they have the right to vote; 3. Prohibit corporations and special interest groups from making campaign contributions. These three simple changes would free candidates from special interests and allow them to vote for what’s best for their constituents. Under the status quo, candidates are tied to special interests in order to be elected and simply cannot act in the best interest of the American people. All the improvements and changes being presented and pushed forth by this new administration will not be permitted to develop if corporations and special interest groups continue to be allowed to make donations and donations are not limited.

Thanks, Ski Corp. Although another great ski season has drawn to a close, you may not know that the Steamboat Ski & Resort Corp.’s investments in our valley continue to make a difference throughout the year. Steamboat Ski & Resort Corp. helps support our community’s nonprofits and local initiatives through their funds with the Yampa Valley Community Foundation: the Charitable Fund, Recreation Fund, the Employee Environmental Fund and the Scholarship Fund benefiting local students. In 2008, Ski Corp. granted $274,352 through these funds at the Yampa Valley Community Foundation to keep our community a special place. In addition, for 11 years, the Steamboat Ski & Resort Corp. has partnered with the Yampa Valley Community Foundation by contributing ski passes and medallions allowing us to sponsor the Passport Club. Members of the Passport Club pay $5,500 a year to enjoy great skiing, a locker room on the mountain, parking privileges, invitations to our special events, plus a partial charitable deduction. Sixty percent of these proceeds help support the work of the Community Foundation, and 40 percent ends up back in the community via grants from Ski Corp.’s four funds. On behalf of the Yampa Valley Community Foundation and many of the worthy nonprofits that have received support, thank you Steamboat Ski & Resort Corp.

Public vote needed For the third time since the Steamboat 700 growth gorilla See Letters, page 5A

On this Earth Day, coming up Wednesday, please stop for a moment and ask yourself, “Of all the people I know, who are the happiest?” Personally, I believe the happiest people are the most appreciative people. They appreciate you, themselves, their health, the beauties of nature, and, most important, they appreciate their world as it is right now. People who aren’t caught up in the frenzy of “Get More” are able to live in the moment, enjoy their blessings, help those who are less fortunate and thus live a life that is satisfying and fulfilled. This seemingly simple concept has wide application to our present state of affairs. Greedy people in the financial world took more than was reasonable and threw all of the rest of our lives upside down. Even though these folks had more money and possessions than the rest of us put together, it still wasn’t enough to make them content. So in their lack of appreciation for what they had and in their huge rush for more, the whole world’s economy has been shattered. But what about the rest of us? We also share responsibility. In our search for instant gratification, we charge the price of unnecessary material things to our credit cards, rush to earn more so we can pay those charges and then rush even more to take care of all that “stuff” that we didn’t need in the first place. Our culture has played on our insecurities to make us think that getting more will make us feel worthwhile. This quest for more has had awful impacts on the Earth; our rivers, soil and air are polluted by the drive to get more and get there faster. We spew carbon dioxide and other pollutants onto the Earth so that we can have more and cheaper products made in faraway lands that are then shipped here by fossil fuels. Our economy has fallen apart because so little manufacturing actually is done in the United States, and we weaken other countries’ economies by exporting subsidized food that’s too cheap to compete against. In short, we’ve made quite a mess of things by putting quantity and cheapness above quality and sustainability. In his commentary published in the Steamboat Pilot & Today on April 14, Thomas Friedman describes a picture of a sustainable Earth and all her inhabitants that would look quite different. He wrote these difficult times actually give us the chance to re-evaluate the destructive and unsustainable economy and society we’ve created. Some of the answers to this dilemma we know: valuing people and relationships above material things, respecting and appreciating the Earth, and taking responsibility for our lives in all ways. He stated we also can learn from other countries. Costa Rica, a tiny nation, supplies 95 percent of its energy from renewables such as hydroelectric, wind and geothermal. When Costa Rica discovered oil, they decided not to drill because their environment was more important to their economy. Costa Rica has a single Ministry of Energy and Environment with the philosophy that “you have to pay for using nature” so that the real cost of growth is evaluated. This policy has benefited indigenous people and steered the country See Lewis, page 5A

Are we too greedy? I have no idea what today’s child has to be depressed about. They have access to a good education if they want one. There is opportunity out there if you so desire; iPods aplenty. My parents grew up as young adults during the Depression. They were both from large families. They never talked about those times as the end of the world. The families hung together and made the best of it. We now are all paying for gorging ourselves on materialism. You know at some point, a local used to own all that expensive land that is Steamboat and at some time, a local cashed it in. A community is only a sum total of its members, rich and poor.

We need to preserve what few amenities we have left not bet the family farm either way. Danny Mulcahy says a Steamboat 700 vote would win “hands down,” and that 700 has no objection to a vote. Either way, a public vote would be a plebiscite on quality of life versus wholesale growth. Approval would be another step toward Anytown, USA.

Respect workers I have been reading the articles written in the Steamboat Pilot & Today this week and the comments posted online along with them with regards to the county pay cuts and furloughs. One in particular caught my eye. One person who wrote an online comment stated that he thought the county should lay off all the snowplow drivers until November. I thought to myself, “This man is brilliant.” The county should snap him up and hire him. Not only would the county save money by not paying these drivers while they aren’t plowing snow, they also don’t have to pay them to haul gravel, clean ditches, fix bridges or maintain roads. Of course, when this same man’s car is swallowed whole by a pothole, it will be OK because I don’t think anyone will really miss him, least of all a county employee. I, on the other hand, have friends and family who travel these roads and wish only for their safety. And now that I think about it, there seems to be one or two problems with this man’s plan. First, when the time comes for these snowplow drivers to

go back to work in November, are they supposed to quit their new jobs that they had to go out and find? And that’s only if they actually could find new jobs, which leads to a whole new host of problems, such as feeding their families, paying their mortgages and possibly ending up on welfare. I am sure that this man doesn’t mind how all that affects his taxes and mine. The second major problem that I see with his plan is what happens if the county can’t hire these experienced drivers back. Who is going to fix all the things that the new and inexperienced drivers tear up while learning to plow snow? This includes signs, guardrails, fence posts, your car and the roads. And please, can we just talk about the equipment? Who is going to pay to fix that? Let’s have a little respect for the men who take calls at 3:30 a.m. to make sure the rest of the county can get to work. While we’re at it, what about the rest of the county employees? What about their jobs? Some of these people have spent 30 years or more at their jobs. If that isn’t loyalty, what is? Don’t they deserve a little respect, too? People across the country are losing their jobs. And although big business doesn’t care, we as a community should. Am I saying that there isn’t fat that can be cut? No, of course not. Anytime that you have more than one employee, there always will be ways to improve. So, let’s trim the fat and be on about the business at hand. Let’s keep valued employees and the strength that a solid community provides.

came over the horizon from Las Vegas in March of 2007, the semi-anonymous Editorial Board has posited it on “Our View,” the most recent being “Council should decide on 700” (Steamboat Pilot & Today, April 12). That is his, her or their right, of course. And it is my right of free speech to use the bully pulpit of the press to respond and disagree publicly. The anonymous author(s) uses the curious argument that the planners of the flawed West of Steamboat Springs Area Plan and the Steamboat Springs Area Community Plan worked hard and long on the plans, and that justifies the City Council to take an “up or down” vote to annex the 508-acre, high-density project. It seems to me that I read in Civics 101 that “We the people” are the government. We elect representatives to do the routines of governance — not to determine our futures for us, particularly on quality of life and growth. Growth, as an economic goal, was stated concisely by a past president of the Chamber Resort Association in the late 1990s: “Grow or die. Perish.” Ridiculous, of course, since we already had, and still have, a sustainable economy. There is no need to keep running on the treadmill of more people, more development, more problems, more infrastructure, ad infinitum. Speaking of problems, it seems that the annexation and growth advocates demurely ignore the inevitable and intolerable traffic that would be generated through Old Town and its approaches, and the possible shortage of water some day.

What we do need is to preserve what few amenities we have left, as Buck Buckland so ably described in his recent letter to the editor. The 700 LLC prospectus candidly admits that the plan is to get annexation approved, then to flip, or sell, the doing job to another high roller. Profit expected is 20 percent, and then it’s “We’re outta here!” So much for ties to, or concern for, the community. Because the 700 proposal affects the future of everyone in Routt County, the City Council and County Commissioners need to voluntarily and cooperatively put the issue to all registered city and county voters in November. The editorial did not mention the difference between initiative and referendum. The former is to petition for a public vote before an elected body acts; the latter is to petition for a vote after an elected body has acted — a protest vote, so to speak. The editorial says that we all should study the WSSAP and the SSACP. Well and good — they are on the Internet. Then the public might become aware that the real intent of these plans is to cleverly assure future growth and sprawl rather than just to “direct growth to a suitable location.” Affordable housing, per se, is all right as long as it is not dangled as a carrot in front of elected officials by developers to help get annexation approvals. Affordable housing is a growth promoter of itself, and again a treadmill situation. The affordable housing issue, important as it is, should not dictate our future. Would a public vote be for or against annexation? I would

1923-2009

Pamela Katherine Finney McPherson, also known as Mrs. Mac and simply as Granny, died in Carbondale on March 17, 2009, McPherson as the result of a tragic car accident. Pam was born to Dr. Theodora and Dr. William Finney on Dec. 7, 1923, in Rochester, Minn., as the fourth of six children. She grew up in Winnetka, Ill., and Lake Geneva, Wis., and attended the North Shore Country Day School in Winnetka. She then attended Scripps College in Pasadena, Calif., for a year before moving to the East Coast, where she attended nursing school with the thought of becoming a nurse for the war effort. In 1947, Pam returned to Lake Geneva, where she worked and developed a passion for puzzle-making, skiing and the West. During this period, Pam built her own home, started making puzzles and gardened. She was active in her church, as well as a Girl Scout leader and a member of the National Ski Patrol at Majestic Hills in Lake Geneva. Pam developed ovarian cancer in 1962 and even after treatment, she was told she would have five years to live. She decided to follow her daughter to Colorado and spend these last years skiing in the West. She initially moved to Aspen in 1962 and then spent a while in Glenwood Springs running the Eat-a-Bite Café, before moving back to Aspen in 1963. In Aspen, she purchased and ran the Snow Chase Lodge on top of Mill Street for 15 years. The lodge catered to ski bums and usually was full of skiers that would stay for at least one, if not several, seasons. Pam often said it was the best spot in town because people could ski down to the lifts in the morning and right to the back door in the afternoon. In 1978, Pam retired to Carbondale, where she spent the summers gardening and the winters making puzzles. She

delighted in sharing her puzzles and her garden produce with family and friends. She loved to travel throughout the desert West and especially was fond of taking river trips on the Green and Colorado rivers. She was a strident lover of wildlife and traveled to Alaska, Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands and the Antarctic to see the incredible wildlife in these areas. Pam doted on her daughter, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and very large extended family and welcomed travelers and visitors from all across the world to her kitchen table where she served scrumptious meals from her garden and would regale guests with entertaining stories. She often hosted ski racers from Steamboat Springs and other areas and was thrilled when old friends would drop by for a visit. Pam is survived by her daughter, Esther DelliQuadri; grandchildren Terry DelliQuadri and wife Urte, Winnie DelliQuadri, and Tracy DelliQuadri; and six great-grandchildren, all of Steamboat Springs. Other survivors include a brother, Sam Finney, of Necedah, Wis.; and numerous nephews, nieces, grand-nephews and grand-nieces across the country. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that memorials be made to the following organizations in her name: The Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club, P.O. Box 774487 Steamboat Springs, CO 80477; The Nature Conservancy, 4245 North Fairfax Drive, Suite 100, Arlington, VA 2203-1606; and The Colorado Special Olympics, 410 17th St., Suite 200, Denver, CO 80202. A celebration of life is at 1 p.m. June 27, 2009, at her former home, 12665 Highway 82 in Carbondale. Shuttle services will be provided from a Carbondale location. Details will be posted closer to the date of the event at www.flickr.com/groups/granny. Information also is available by e-mail at estherdq@earthlink.net or by calling 970-879-1346.

A tragedy in memories 10 years later, Columbine’s hold remains strong

DENVER

Gov. Bill Ritter has ordered U.S. and Colorado flags to fly at half-staff at state and federal buildings Monday, the 10th anniversary of the Columbine High School shootings. In a statement released Friday, Ritter said, “We cannot allow the lessons of this tragedy to fade with the passage of time.”

DA appeals ruling that halted ID theft probe GREELEY

Weld County’s district attorney is appealing a judge’s ruling that prevents him from filing any more identity theft charges against suspected illegal immigrants who had been filing taxes. District Attorney Ken Buck had filed charges against at least 60 people using the tax returns his office seized from a Greeley business. More cases were possible, as Buck alleged that as many as 1,300 people were breaking the law by filing tax returns with stolen or false Social Security numbers. But the American Civil Liberties Union sued, saying tax returns are confidential. District Judge James Hiatt agreed with the ACLU this week and said Buck’s investigation was over-broad. He ordered Buck not to file any more cases on the tax records he seized and that those documents should be destroyed or returned to Amalia’s Translation and Tax Services, the business that had been searched.

400 Colorado guardsmen deploy to Iraq on Friday DENVER

To the sounds of bagpipes, a military marching band and a cheering crowd at Denver’s Pepsi Center, more than 400 members of the Colorado National Guard got a rousing sendoff to Iraq on Friday in what is the largest Colorado Guard deployment since World War II. Troops with the Colorado Springs-based 3rd Battalion, 157th Field Artillery marched and rushed onto a lacrosse pitch inside the center one day before their deployment. They bade farewell to family and loved ones and received a salute from Gov. Bill Ritter. Most of the yearlong tour will be infantry-based, said unit commander Lt. Col. Al Morris of Centennial, who is serving his second tour in Iraq. Troops will conduct mounted and foot patrols and guard important visitors, Morris said.

LITTLETON

Teenage gunmen spilled the blood of children before Columbine — in Alaska, Arkansas, Mississippi and Oregon. After Columbine, more blood was shed in Minnesota and California, in Germany and Finland. But none of those tragedies cast a shadow as long or dark as the rampage at Columbine High School, where 13 people were gunned down 10 years ago Monday. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, seniors at the suburban Denver school, detonated homemade bombs and opened fire with shotguns, a rifle and a semiautomatic handgun April 20, 1999. They killed a teacher and 12 students and wounded 23 others before committing suicide. The massacre shocked the country like no other. It was the worst school assault in American history at that time, and it came in the wake of a half-dozen others. It played out on live TV, watched by millions. And it represented the violent destruction of a cherished American idea: that schools in the suburbs and the countryside were havens of peace and safety. “It’s the iconic shooting,” said Katherine S. Newman, a professor of sociology and public affairs at Princeton University. “It defined the social category of a

LITTLETON

Columbine High School principal Frank DeAngelis speaks easily, almost matter-of-factly, about the personal price he paid after the massacre at his school: His marriage of 17 years collapsed, he suffered anxiety attacks and he still carries survivor’s guilt. But 10 years after students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 13 people and wounded 23 others, DeAngelis still is at his desk. “People ask, ‘Why are you still here?’” he said. “I can’t imagine being anywhere else, especially after the tragedy.” Now 54, DeAngelis is a diminutive, energetic man who speaks quietly but emphatically. He’s known around the school as “Mr. D,” a name he embraces. DeAngelis was in his office the morning of April 20, 1999, when his secretary told him someone was shooting. He ran to the hallway and gunshots whizzed by, shattering glass behind him. He shepherded a group of about 20 students to safety that day, and he sur-

rampage school shooting.” Compounding the horror was the shock that the shootings happened in a fairly typical American suburb. “We couldn’t understand how this could happen in any place other than urban schools,” said J. William Spencer, an associate professor who teaches sociology at Purdue University. The illusion of safety had begun to weaken with the Bethel, Alaska school attack in early 1997. At Columbine, it collapsed. “It was no longer possible to

vived with no physical injuries. But he recites a list of other, invisible wounds: Anxiety attacks so severe they felt like heart attacks; guilt that he survived but that his good friend, teacher Dave Sanders, died; the end of his marriage. DeAngelis blames his divorce on the difficulty he had communicating with his wife after the shootings. His health suffered, too. He stopped working out and gained 40 pounds, and his cholesterol and blood pressure soared. DeAngelis got counseling and goes back for what he calls maintenance. He followed his doctor’s advice and changed his lifestyle. After the shootings, DeAngelis pledged to that year’s freshman class that he would stay. “I felt that if I was going to ask them to come back into this building and continue to be students at Columbine High School and graduate from Columbine High School, I could not allow them to do it alone,” he said. “I made them that promise. ‘I will be here with you.’” — The Associated Press

disassociate — ‘Oh, that’s something that happened at some faraway town in some other state,”’ Muschert said. “People started to have the perception that ‘it could happen here.”’ Americans were on edge about school violence before then. During the previous two years, at least 16 students and teachers had died in school shootings in small American cities and towns: Bethel, Alaska; Pearl, Miss.; West Paducah, Ky.; Jonesboro, Ark.; Edinboro, Pa.; Fayetteville, Tenn.; and Springfield, Ore.

Police: New strategy has saved many lives Columbine continued from 1A After the tragedy, police across the country developed “active-shooter” training. It calls for responding officers to rush toward gunfire and step over bodies and bleeding victims, if necessary, to stop the gunman — the active shooter — first. Sgt. A.J. DeAndrea, a patrol officer in the Denver suburb of Arvada, and now-retired sheriff’s Sgt. Grant Whitus, two of the SWAT team members who searched Columbine High that day, now train police with the idea that a gunman, in a mass shooting, kills a person every 15 seconds. “Based on what we had been through, we had decided that day that we would prepare, and that the lives lost at Columbine were not going to be in vain,” said DeAndrea, team leader of the Jefferson County Regional SWAT. Across the country, police say the strategy has saved lives time and again. In North Carolina, activeshooter training became part of the state’s law enforcement academy curriculum in 2001. Last month, a rampage at a Carthage, N.C., nursing home that killed a nurse and seven helpless patients was cut short when 25-year-old

Officer Justin Garner entered the place alone and wounded the gunman with a single shot. Garner had undergone activeshooter training. “Fifteen years ago, if I heard about what that officer in North Carolina did, I would have said ‘What a fool, he violated every procedure that we knew about,’” said Steve Mitchell, program manager with the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies in Fairfax, Va. “It’s been a complete turnaround.” For three decades before Columbine, law enforcement had followed a contain-and-wait strategy calculated to prevent officers and bystanders from getting killed: The first ordinary cops at the scene would set up a perimeter to contain the situation, and then wait for the experts — SWAT team members trained in military tactics and equipped with special protective gear and assault weapons — to go in and bring down the gunman. That strategy and the creation of SWAT teams were prompted by the 1966 sniper attack at the University of Texas at Austin, in which Charles Whitman climbed a clock tower and opened fire with a high-powered rifle, killing 14 people. Columbine prompted the

Anderson plans to sell knitting kits, offer weaving classes in fall Yarn continued from 3A Now, Anderson plans to work in her Copper Ridge Business Park studio. She’ll weave and put together knitting kits to sell. She plans to offer classes in the fall. “I will be weaving, and I have a number of looms there,” Anderson said. “I’ll be teaching weaving. I’ll be making rag rugs with my old wardrobe, and I’m moving into more of a therapeutic fiber arts business.” She realized about a year ago that the Fiber Exchange wouldn’t survive. Anderson said she held off as long as possible, aiming to make it through the ski season

and hopes to teach classes. Some of Anderson’s supplies and yarns could find their way to Yampa, though Tussey plans to focus on her main brand: Brown Sheep Co. That wool comes from sheep in Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming. “The majority of the wool that’s grown here goes to Brown Sheep Co., so we’re bringing it back,” Tussey said. Tussey also was excited to promote Yampa. She’s every bit the Town Board member pushing for economic development. “I want people to come and enjoy Yampa and the history of Yampa,” Tussey said, suggesting that women could pop by K&K and then head to Leisure Mountain Studio for coffee or the Royal Hotel & Bar for dinner. Mostly, though, she wants people to swing by K&K. Her room is painted in comfortable blues and blue-purples. A kitchen barely contains a leafy monster of a houseplant, which Tussey called

A bar lines a slice of the room, where women can sit on stools, drink tea and crunch Peanut M&Ms. Tussey plans to start with afternoon hours Monday through Wednesday but invited people to offer suggestions. Customers are welcome to call and stop in if she or Doug is home, she said. K&K, like the Fiber Exchange, is a place full of soft things. Tussey encouraged people to dig in. “The bottom line is use your imagination, and that’s what yarn’s about,” she said. “It’s like playing — playing with Crayons.”

Maybe it’s something about knitters, but Tussey’s personality falls along the same spectrum

as Anderson’s. The women move with a warm, welcoming air, and they adore the creativity and art of working with textiles. Tussey has lived in Yampa for nearly seven years with her husband, Doug, in a 126-year-old house on Moffat Avenue. K&K Wools is tucked into the back of that house. The company is named for Karyn and her daughter-in-law, Katy Tussey, who also works with yarns. The women have run the company solely online for nearly four years. Karyn Tussey was hooked at age 5, when her great-grandmother taught her to embroider. “She told me it was never a good thing for a woman to sit with idle hands,” Tussey said. Tussey’s shop shows that her hands have been busy. Her paintings, many done in Taos, N.M., add color to the walls.

Vail plans to extend its winter Vail All the Love campaign into summer, according to the Web site for the Vail Valley Partnership’s Chamber and Tourism Bureau. The Vail Local Marketing District Advisory Council and the town of Vail are putting $700,000 into the program, which launches the week of May 18 and targets Front Range and destination visitors. In addition to advertising, the Steamboat Chamber is putting $75,000 into new event development this year. The Chamber has planned a Steamboat All

Arts Festival for Aug. 20 to 23 and an Oktoberfest event with a Steamboat twist, called OktoberWest, for Sept. 18 to 20. The art festival will include a range of activities, Broyles said. “That is a culmination of all different types of art, performing arts, music arts, culinary arts, film, photography, everything,” she said. “So we’ve kind of just rallied with the local art community to get this together, and it will be a fun-filled, a packed schedule.” The OktoberWest event is in the early planning stages, Broyles

said. It could include a cooking contest and events for children, she said. The festival will be geared toward families and Oktoberfest-lovers, Broyles said. “We want it to be an allAmerican type Oktoberfest, because that’s who we are,” she said. The goal is to inspire people to aim their cars toward Steamboat this summer, Broyles said. “You have to give people reasons to travel right now, and I think with our regional campaign, that’s going to be our approach,” she said.

for her seasonal regulars. Locals also have supported the store, Anderson said. However, she said, “I’m not sure we have enough local knitters to support a store with the variety and the quality of yarn that I have.” Steamboat resident Liza Weihman works at the Fiber Exchange — on a volunteer basis, to avoid complicating her friendship with Anderson. The loss of the store will be tragic, Weihman said. “It really was a wonderful community-building place, and I don’t know what’s going to replace it,” she said. Anderson was melancholy about closing but hopeful about her plans. “True passion never ends,” she said. “It evolves.”

Budget, will work to streamline processes and cut costs. On that front, Obama gave notice he wants to act quickly. “In the coming weeks, I will

be announcing the elimination of dozens of government programs shown to be wasteful or ineffective,” he said. “In this effort, there will be no sacred cows and no pet projects. All across America, families are making hard choices, and it’s time their government did the same.”

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is ending consulting contracts to create new seals and logos that, Obama said, have cost the department $3 million since 2003. Obama also cited Defense Secretary Robert Gates’ plan to overhaul contracting procedures and eliminate billions in wasteful

spending and cost overruns. The president praised Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Carl Levin, D-Mich., who are leading the effort in Congress. Republicans have kept up a steady stream of criticism of Obama’s spending, both of his $787 billion stimulus plan and his $3.6 trillion budget proposal.

A passenger from a Toyota Corolla is handcuffed after the Colorado State Patrol stopped the car Saturday morning on U.S. Highway 40. A caller reported that a passenger in the Toyota was waving a handgun as the car traveled east near Steamboat II.The weapon turned out to be an air-powered pellet gun, State Patrol Sgt. Scott Elliott said. Jesse McAndrew, 19, of Hayden, was shooting out a window at signs and ditches, Elliott said. McAndrew was cited for disorderly conduct. The situation wasn’t as serious as authorities thought it was, Elliott said. “Obviously, we ask that people not do that,” Elliott said. “It was suggested that if they want to shoot that they go to the range.” The driver, a 15-year-old girl, was cited for driving without a valid license and not having proof of insurance, Elliott said. Both were released after the citations, he said. Steamboat Springs police and Routt County Sheriff’s officials also responded to the call, which came at about 11 a.m.

The program she is excited about is the federal Capital Purchase Program. It’s an outgrowth of TARP, the federal Troubled Assets Relief Program. But instead of aiming federal stimulus dollars at toxic assets, CPP is meant to increase the capitalization of healthy banks all across the country, giving them the means to lend more freely. It’s clear that only a minority of bankers see the value of the program. Only about 400 of 8,400 financial institutions have signed up. Pete Waller is CEO of First National Bank of the Rockies and a member of the Board of Directors of the American Bankers Association. He said his banks, including one in Steamboat, signed up for the CPP before the December 2008 deadline. He now feels it is unlikely they will accept the federal investment. “We didn’t know, at the time, how bad this economic situation was going to get,” he said. “The credit markets were all frozen up. We have a lot better idea now that we aren’t facing financial Armageddon. While the (the economy) is not good, it’s not as bad as it might have been. I don’t believe we’ll take the money.” Jost said his bank already is well-capitalized and able to make loans. “We aren’t carrying any subprime loans, and we don’t have any toxic assets on our books,” he said. Allen said her company sees

��

an opportunity to use the CPP money to do some creative lending that it thinks will meet specific needs in its communities. “We’ll hopefully start to unroll some student loans,” Allen said. “It’s not something we’ve done in the past.”

Boosting mortgages Alpine also wants to use a portion of its CPP capital to make loans to help small businesses. It also may hold back some of the lending capacity in case the federal government asks it to acquire some struggling institutions. However, a prime focus is on jump starting the real estate, construction and home buying sectors of its business. Notably, Alpine Bank intends to begin underwriting some of its own mortgage lending business. But the cycle begins, Allen said, with some of Alpine’s existing clients around the Western Slope who have developed building lots that aren’t selling. The developers have done a great job, she said, but in some cases, interested buyers are unable to acquire the lots and build a house because loans aren’t available. Through an incentive-laden lot-buyer program, Alpine Bank intends to offer terms, conditions and interest rates that start the ball rolling. In theory, lot sales will lead to construction loans, and construction loans will lead to mortgage lending, whether they’re generated by completed spec homes or custom homes. Jill Leary, president of Wells Fargo Bank in Steamboat, said her company’s involvement in federal recovery programs really hasn’t made any difference in dayto-day lending in the Steamboat bank. “It’s not like Wells Fargo says, ‘OK, Steamboat gets $10 million.’ That’s not how it works,” Leary said. “We make loans as we see people being qualified. We still are being responsible lenders, verifying income, and doing the things we’ve always done.” Wells Fargo in Steamboat has its own mortgage lending department, which can turn to Wells Fargo underwriters to back the

Banking stimulus 101 Steamboat banks in the federal Capital Purchase Program, or CPP: Alpine Banks of Colorado $70 million Millennium Bancorp, Inc. $7.26 million Wells Fargo Bank $25 billion ■ What’s the CPP? The CPP is a voluntary program that banks applied to by December 2008. Under the program, the U.S. Treasury Department purchases senior preferred shares in the lending institutions. The investment is essentially a loan from the treasury. By investing in the banks, the government, in theory, gives them the room to leverage the investment against their assets and increase their comfort with lending more money. “This becomes capital to the bank,” said Paul Clavadetscher, president of Millennium Bank in Steamboat Springs. “It’s one piece of how much you can lend. The whole idea is to invest in healthy banks so they have the ability to meet the needs of the community.” Clavadetscher is emphatic that CPP is not a bailout. The banks agree to pay a 5 percent dividend in the first five years. The rate provides a margin intended to allow them to profit from the loans. After five years, the annual dividend jumps to 9 percent. It’s a strong incentive to make the loans promptly, and repay the original investment.

mortgages it initiates. In many cases, Wells Fargo —nationally — underwrites mortgages for smaller banks. Since Wells Fargo took on $25 billion in TARP money in October 2008, the company has loaned $225 billion nationally, according to a corporate spokeswoman.

Capital not enough Paul Clavadetscher, president of Millennium Bank in Steamboat Springs, said his company’s willingness to take on a little more than $7 million in CPP investment was a calculated decision based on confidence that its banks in six communities can leverage the capital to make good loans. With five years, before the dividend rate goes up to an unattractive 9 percent, the pressure is on the bank to make loans that will allow it to pay the dividend and repay the federal investment while still realizing a profit,

■ Does CPP relate to TARP? Three Steamboat Springs banks are participating in the U.S. Treasury department’s Capital Purchase Program, intended to stimulate loan availability nationwide by increasing the capital base of healthy financial institutions. Nationally and locally, bankers have distinctly diverging outlooks on the program. They even disagree on whether the CPP money represents dollars from TARP — or the federal Troubled Assets Relief Program — or is something else entirely. Pete Waller, CEO of First National Bank of the Rockies and a member of the Board of Directors of the American Bankers Association, participated in a conference call on the subject with former Secretary of the Treasury Hank Paulson. Of the original $250 million in TARP money, Waller said, the first $125 million essentially was forced on nine institutional banks in a determined effort to stabilize the national banking system. Wells Fargo was among them. “They were told, ‘You will take it,’” Waller said. The remaining $125 million was set aside for the CPP program, to help healthy banks feel more confident about lending on the local level.

On the ’Net For a federal take on economic recovery efforts, visit www.financialstability.gov.

Clavadetscher acknowledged. Otherwise, it will have been a bad decision to accept the CPP investment. “This can be a very significant opportunity for the community,” he said. In the end, Waller predicted, the mere injection of capital into community banks isn’t enough by itself to stimulate the economy. “Capital, in and of itself, won’t create loan demand,” Waller said. “That’s been the weakness (of CPP) from my point of view. You have to have credible borrowers with good business plans that have a good use for the money. And they have to have a legitimate means to make a profit and repay the bank.” Allen said Steamboat is blessed to have as many healthy banks as it does and that the diversity among those banks is an added strength. — To reach Tom Ross, call 871-4205 or e-mail tross@steamboatpilot.com

“Recently, we have had all kinds of people coming in looking for health insurance who may �� have recently found themselves �� unemployed,” Miller said. �� The VNA has seen a jump of about 50 percent in applications recently, said Evette Simmons, �� VNA eligibility and outreach �� coordinator. “It’s ramping up. It’s not a �� steady flow right now,” she said. �� “In the last five to six weeks, I’ve had more than 50 applications.” �� Those applications are for �� entire families and include far �� more than 50 children, she said. “I expect that’s going to get busier,” she said. �� One of the biggest challenges Simmons and other enroll-

ment workers face is changing public perception of Medicaid and other low-cost health insurance, which can carry a stigma of being only for the extremely needy or poverty-stricken. She said health reform officials have made big strides in changing the views, but the negative perceptions remain — families enrolling at Thursday’s fair, for example, did not wish to be interviewed. Simmons said she has been canvassing the community to encourage families to apply for the insurance and to receive “presumptive eligibility” temporary insurance before the final insurance plan is approved. Her efforts have included sending fliers home with every student in the Steamboat Springs School

District and advertising in local media and stores. According to figures released in late 2008 by the Colorado Health Institute and collected by the U.S. Census Bureau, there were 422 uninsured children younger than 19 in Routt County as of 2005. The center also estimates there are 323 children who are eligible but not enrolled for either of the two programs. By the middle of Thursday’s four-hour enrollment fair, four new families had stopped in and six made calls. Simmons said families still are welcome to call her at 871-7616 to enroll in the programs. — To contact Zach Fridell, call 871-4208 or e-mail zfridell@steamboatpilot.com

Homebuyers’ tax credit helps with down payment The Colorado Housing and Finance Authority and U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter have found a way to transform the $8,000 federal first-time homebuyers’ tax credit into down payment assistance. Last week, they unveiled CHFA JumpStart, a new home mortgage program to help Coloradans take advantage of the first-time homebuyer federal tax credit in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. “Through the CHFA JumpStart program, we are bringing the benefits of the economic stimulus plan to Colorado,” Perlmutter said in a news release from CHFA. “First-time homebuyers will be able to leverage the future benefit of the federal tax credit by working with CHFA to access the dollars needed to buy a home today.” CHFA JumpStart offers first-time homebuyers a 30year, competitive, fixed-interest-rate first mortgage and a second mortgage in the amount of $6,000 or 3.5 percent of the home, whichever is less, to be used for down payment and closing costs. The second mortgage will be offered with a zero percent interest rate and no payments due through June 30, 2010. This structure allows the borrower to use the first-time homebuyer credit to pay off the second mortgage before the June 30, 2010, deadline. CHFA Director of Home Finance Karen Harkin said the program will help buyers wanting to take advantage of today’s affordable home prices.

New bank building planned Millennium officials expect to break ground at Wildhorse in July

illennium Bank expects to break ground by mid-July on a $2.5 million dedicated bank building in Wildhorse Marketplace, just off Mount Werner Road. “We’re pretty excited. It’s sooner than we had planned. The bank is doing STORY BY well enough to do this, TOM ROSS and I fundamentally think it’s the right thing to do just to get people working and get the dollars back into the community,” bank President Paul Clavadetscher said. The Steamboat Springs bank is one of six operated by Edwards-based Millennium Bankcorp. Other locations are in Breckenridge, Vail, Winterpark/Frasier and Englewood. Millennium opened in July 2006 in a storefront in Wildhorse Marketplace with six employees. That number has increased to 10. Clavadetscher said the new building will afford space for safe deposit boxes and, for the first time, a drive-through window. “It will also provide a greater level of confidentiality,” Clavadetscher said. “With 10 employees now, our desks are just a little too close together.” One thing that won’t change is that teller customers will continue to have the option to sit down at a desk with bank staffers, even if they’re only depositing a check. The 10,654-square-foot

Millennium Bank officials hope to break ground on a new building in Wildhorse Marketplace by mid-July. The bank now has its headquarters in a storefront in Wildhorse.

building will be devoted exclusively to the bank’s use. It will be built on a 1-acre, triangular lot west of the movie theater. The general contractor is Holmquist-Lorenz Construction. “Choosing a contractor was the hardest decision I’ve made in 34 years,” Clavadetscher said. The difficulty wasn’t in finding a well-qualified contractor, he said, but in choosing among longtime customers who are well-qualified. Principal Travis Holmquist understood. “He’s very customer-oriented, and all of his customers are

important to him,” Holmquist said. “Any opportunity is important to us, but especially this year. We work really hard at chasing jobs that fit us in terms of scheduling and manpower availability. This is one we really wanted.” When subcontractors are included, more than 100 people are apt to work on the Millennium Bank building, Holmquist said. That probably doesn’t include specialized contractors needed for a bank building — a business that installs pneumatic tubes for a drive-through, for example. The site for the new bank

was contemplated as a freestanding restaurant when Wildhorse Marketplace first won city approval in 2003. The bank represents a use by right in the zone district, according to documents on file with the city of Steamboat Springs. However, Senior City Planner Bob Keenan said the vested approval for the commercial center required that any new building on the undeveloped lot still must comply with mass and scale regulations and with the architectural theme of the existing buildings. The bank building will fea-

ture a variety of roof styles and a tall element evoking a historic granary. Its exterior materials will include the same stucco and stone veneer as the existing buildings. It will feature extensive corrugated steel; however, it will be in a deep burgundy color instead of the corroded steel used on existing buildings. Planning Commissioner Dick Curtis praised the architecture when the building was approved in March. “I’m very happy to see that it’s a unique design,” Curtis said. “I feel that it will fit in very well.”

Summer construction planned at Barn Village Tom Ross

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Undeterred by the difficulty of selling high-end building lots in a recession, the developers of Barn Village at Steamboat say two significant construction projects will go forward this summer. Residential subdivision developer Bob Comes said last week that the owners’ amenity building, complete with an all-season swimming pool and exercise room, will be built this summer. Jay Czarkowski, of Construction Design Group, is the general contractor. He said he also will break ground on a 10,000square-foot duplex building at

the same time his crews begin the amenity building. To date, Barn Village has closed on 11 of 54 lots in the subdivision, Comes said. The sales process got off to a fast start during Labor Day weekend in 2007 when 53 lots were reserved with refundable deposits. However, as the time to make the contracts approached in late 2007, it became clear to the developers and their representatives that many of the buyers had been speculating and didn’t intend to follow through. Still, Realtor Chris Wittemyer, of Prudential Steamboat Realty, was pleased with 17 reservations thought to be solid, representing a 30 percent conversion rate. Ultimately, the 17

turned to 11 sales, and Czarkowski accounted for two of the duplex lot sales. Comes said he thinks his development group has the financial ability to ride out the recession. “We have strong continued interest and with the improvements and the amenity building, we are optimistic the strong success we experienced in the past will continue,” Comes said. “And we’re fortunate — I’ve done well, and my partner, Eric MacAfee, has funded 11 public companies. We’re going to have the financial capacity to do what we need to do.” CONSTRUCTION DESIGN GROUP/ARTIST’S RENDERING Czarkowski said his favorite Jay Czarkowski, of Construction Design Group, is the general contractor on part of the new amenity buildSee Barn Village, page 2B

Built-ins are not only beautiful and functional, they personalize a home. Constructed to fit the odd nooks and crannies of a residence, they provide customized storage for the owners’ interests. The modern farmhouse of Franz and Annelies Leuthardt outside of Smithville, Mo., is a prime example. Various sizes of navy, cobalt and azure rectangles take up an entire wall of the top floor. Together, the blue cabinets and drawers resemble the abstract work of Piet Mondrian. “The cabinets are a work of art,” said Annelies Leuthardt, who with her husband worked with Gastinger Walker Harden Architects of Kansas City, Mo., to build their dream house almost a dozen years ago. She has never grown tired of the boldness of the built-ins; they make her smile. “Blue is my favorite color,” she said. It’s difficult to tell the blocks of color are built-ins because the hardware is so discreet. If you closely examine them, you can kind of see tiny pulls. But inside, the artful cabinets hold the normal stuff of life: extra pillows, bed linens and fitness equipment. Built-ins are a good idea for any home, experts say. For starters, they’re a strategic defense against clutter, said architect Sarah Susanka, author of the best-selling “The Not So Big House” books. She believes in the mantra of William Morris, one of the founders of the Arts and Crafts movement: “Do not keep any-

A house of built-ins ■ Seating: A window seat in a guest bedroom not only provides seating, it creates extra storage for pillows and bedding. ■ Pantry: A set of built-in drawers helps keep napkin rings and table linens organized. ■ Laundry: Dividers and cubbies keep detergent and other laundry supplies in reach but out of sight. Built-in pocket doors close the laundry off from the hallway. ■ Files: Maximizing unused attic space, these file cabinets reach back 3, 4 and 5 feet. ■ Printers: Adjustable sliders pull printers forward. Drawers keep paper and other supplies. ■ Toiletries: Medicine and cosmetics are concealed in a cabinet behind a long wall of mirrors in the master bathroom. ■ Accessories: Making the most of space behind a bedroom door — 4 inches, to be precise — this built-in unit holds costume jewelry and belts. The slat wall allows hooks to be placed at different heights.

thing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” Therefore, utilitarian things can be kept behind closed built-in cabinetry doors, and pretty things can be showcased in built-in display shelves. Built-ins definitely saw their heyday in Arts and Crafts homes, many of them tiny bungalows. They made the most of every inch. Demand for builtin cabinetry has increased with the proliferation of lofts, which typically don’t come with much storage space. And because of the new standard of flat-panel televisions, more homeowners are requesting built-in cabinetry to integrate the electronic components into the room. “Built-ins eliminate the need for having lots of furniture

in a house, which can make a room feel cramped,” said Paul Gross, owner of Wildwood Construction in Blue Springs, Mo. “Everyone is trying to simplify and streamline their lives, and homes and built-ins help do that.” Gross and his son-in-law, Jason Patterson, have designed and constructed many built-ins,

including the usual bookcases and drawers for DVDs. But they’ve worked on many special projects, including extra-long file cabinets that take advantage of unused attic space as well as special jewelry pullouts and drawers — the typical jewelry box just doesn’t cut it for fashionable chunky, beaded necklaces.

Barn Village developer and contractor purchased lots Barn Village continued from 1B ing at Barn Village is the exercise room. “It has a wall of windows looking out over the ski area,” he said. Czarkowski, based in Boulder, has built large spec homes on Val d’Isere Circle and Après Ski Way on the hillsides just south of Steamboat Ski Area. His crews also are drying-in a

large townhome/duplex project on Steamboat Boulevard. Like Comes, Czarkowski said he capitalizes each project for the long haul. “We bring in several partners on each project,” he said. “There’s enough horsepower behind each project to carry it indefinitely. We’ve converted the house on Après Ski Way to high-end rentals.” Barn Village is a residen-

tial subdivision bordering Fish Creek and Pine Grove Road, between the Central Park Plaza commercial center and Yampa Valley Medical Center. It is notable for the historic More Barn, which stands at the Pine Grove Road entrance to the neighborhood. The barn and 4 acres surrounding it were given to the city for use as a public park. The subdivision approval

allows primarily three types of housing. There are 12 duplex lots, 34 small lots for single-family homes in a neo-traditional neighborhood with back-loaded garages, and larger lots for larger single-family homes. The neo-traditional lots, measuring between 0.14 and 0.21 acres, sold for $451,000 to $575,000, according to Wittemyer. He has the remaining 43 lots co-listed with colleagues Pam Vanatta and Cam Boyd. The duplex lots like the two that Czarkowski bought were the most expensive in the subdivision, beginning with one lot priced at $995,000 and continuing in small increments as much as $1.15 million. Czarkowski said that during the peak of the construction boom in Steamboat, he was unable to build relationships with subcontractors here because they were so busy, so he used companies with which he had a relationship in the Boulder area. Now, he said, he hopes to work with a number of Steamboat subcontractors on the Barn Village amenity building and the new duplex, including electrical and plumbing work. We want to use predominantly local subs and suppliers,” Czarkowski said. The Construction Design Group duplex on Steamboat Boulevard is dried in but has not been listed for sale. Czarkowski said he doesn’t like to list a spec home for sale until it is complete, staged with furnishings and ready to show. Czarkowski and Comes each have purchased lots from the development entity, with the intent of building family homes for themselves. They said those projects may be next on the calendar at Barn Village. — To reach Tom Ross, call 871-4205 or e-mail tross@steamboatpilot.com

10,086-1 NOTICE OF RATE INCREASE The Board of Directors of the Tree Haus Metropolitan District is proposing an increase in water and sewer charges of the District assessed against residential lots in Tree Haus, Filing No.1. The District presently imposes a water and sewer charge in the amount of $141.00 per quarter per single family unit and this rate has not changed in the past fifteen years.

The increase in such charges will be considered at the next regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the District to be held at Vectra Bank, 2155 Resort Drive, Suite 250, (2nd level of the bank building) Steamboat Springs, CO, at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 29, 2009, at which time and place you may appear if you so choose.

Sailors sweep Huskies

John F. Russell

n the end, it wasn’t a doctor, coach or the U.S. Ski Team that convinced Caroline Lalive it was time to give up competitive ski racing. During her 13 seasons with the team, Lalive seemed more like a superhero than a ski racer. Nineteen times, she recovered from various injuries that required surgery — including 12 knee injuries. Although the Steamboat Springs sensation suffered her share of setbacks, her success on the slopes defines her career. Her passion and dedication to the sport of ski racing always will be remembered. Highlights include a seventh-place finish in the Alpine combined — downhill and slalom — at the 1998 Winter Olympic Games in Nagano, Japan. There also was her gold-medal showing at the Junior World Championships in 1999 and her 15 top-10 finishes on the World Cup circuit. The finishes include a second in a downhill in Austria in 2002, a third in a super-G at Alberta’s Lake Louise and second in combined events in 2000 and 2001. But in the end, it was Caroline’s own body that convinced her it was time to walk away and that she should do it while she still is able to walk. Lalive was attempting to make her bid to get back on the U.S. Ski Team for another Olympic run, but during a race last February, she injured her knee again. The good news is, Lalive will not have to go under the knife this time, but the realization that the time had come to retire was clear. “I’m glad that I came back and tried to make another run,” Lalive said. “If I had not came back, I would have always wondered, ‘What if?’” But she realized her body just couldn’t do it anymore. “I love skiing, but I also want to be able to walk when I’m 50. I want to enjoy this sport for the rest of my life, and I want to be able to go out and ski with my children someday.” So with that, Caroline Lalive’s bid for one last Olympics, one last shot at the medal she so desperately wanted, was gone. She has survived broken fingers and ribs and shredded knees. She raced with her heart and faced her critics with a smile. Through it all, she proved that she could bounce back against all odds. It would be easy to define her career in terms of injuries, but that would not explain what made her so special. Lalive could have retired several years ago, but she is telling the truth when she says the thought never crossed her mind. She is one of the rare athletes who competed for love, not results. She understands that her sport has its ups and downs. She always has been willing to endure whatever has been handed to her. “Despite all the injuries, I’ve always had a great time,” Lalive said Friday when news about her retirement leaked. “I love skiing, and I love this sport.” She says she will miss the travel, the friendships and the experiences her career has brought her. The sport of skiing will miss the love and passion she brought every time she stepped into the starting gate.

The Steamboat Springs High School baseball team beat on Saturday in a doubleheader Battle Mountain twice, edging out a 7-6 extra-inning victory and then an 11-0 in Rifle. The Sailors won both games run-rule rout.

— which were moved to Rifle from Craig because of bad weather — beating the Huskies, 7-6 and 11-0. “We knew we needed these games,” said Ryan Tibbetts, a Soroco senior playing for Steamboat. “Now, we have a chance to go to the playoffs.” The second game was a rout ended via run-rule in the fifth inning. It was hard to match the

late-inning excitement of the first game. Tibbetts knocked an RBI single into left field to send Steamboat’s Ryan Hall around from second base to break an extra-inning tie and score the winning run. That came after another Soroco senior, Matt Watwood, pitched six strong innings and knocked in two runs of his own. See Baseball, page 3C

JOHN F. RUSSELL/STAFF

Ken Webbe, the new athletic director at Steamboat Springs High School, was busy Thursday morning answering the phone and questions in his office after a winter storm wreaked havoc with the day’s sports schedule. Despite the storm and the challenges that came with it, Webbe — who was a science teacher and coach at Palisade before taking the job in Steamboat — says he’s happy to be here and looking forward to working with coaches, students and the community.

Into the fire

New athletic director faces flood of schedule changes

itting in his office early Thursday morning, new Steamboat Springs High School Athletic Director Ken Webbe looked right at home. The former Palisade High School science teacher and coach fielded a myriad of calls, as just outside his window, snow blanketed Steamboat. There were calls to coaches, calls to officials and calls to bus drivers. It’s been a hectic three weeks for Webbe, who took over for Richard Lee on April 1. Since then, Webbe’s certainly found there is a little more to an athletic director job in Steamboat Springs. “It was a shock just because the first

SUNDAYFOCUS STORY BY LUKE GRAHAM weekend I had to reschedule all the games,” Webbe said. “Every AD across the state did because virtually all the games were canceled. I had to learn fast. You’re not just ordering baseballs and basketballs. It’s communication and coordination. That’s the job. The learning curve was so steep. That day it was, ‘Here it is and get it done.’” But by all accounts, Webbe seems to have fit in about as well as anyone could expect. All those games were

rescheduled with this week’s spring break in mind. Although Webbe admits he’s still learning on the job, he’s about as excited as it gets in his new position. Webbe’s always loved the area. He fell in love with Steamboat Springs during his senior year of high school after a fishing trip to Steamboat Lake. He purchased a cabin in North Routt County and continued to frequent the area. Webbe coached track for 22 years and was part of the coaching staff at Palisade under former Steamboat Springs graduate Joe Ramunno. See Webbe, page 3C

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

As far as Senior Days go, it would be tough to top the one Mandi DeVos, Elise Anderson and Hanna Berglund had Saturday. Each girl scored a goal — DeVos and Anderson each had a pair — in helping Steamboat cruise past Eagle Valley, 9-0. The win helped Steamboat improve to 9-3 overall and 8-0 in the Western Slope East Division. After a week off for spring break, Steamboat returns to play April 28

PREP SOCCER against Battle Mountain. A win there, and Steamboat would all but lock up the league title, something the three Steamboat seniors have been working toward since they stepped on the field. The previous two years, Battle Mountain reigned supreme in the league. But with a few more wins, the tide and league title will turn back to Steamboat. “We were just talking about how we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect

Senior Day,” Anderson said. “We all got opportunities to score and put it away when we did. We knew (Battle Mountain) had taken league title every year, and we know it was our turn to get it done.” There wasn’t much drama Saturday as the Sailors made quick work of the Devils. DeVos and Anderson scored the first two goals for Steamboat in the first 10 minutes. Emi Birch, MATT STENSLAND/STAFF Leah Berdine and another DeVos goal made it 5-0 at Steamboat Springs High School sophomore Hayley Brookshire, left, battles Eagle Valley halftime. See Soccer, page 3C

To capitalize On TV: on their homeComcast court edge, the channel 55 TNT Nuggets need to handle Paul, who beat out Chauncey Billups for the backup point guard spot on the U.S. Olympic team last summer, and West, who essentially took Carmelo Anthony’s spot on the All-Star team. Kenyon Martin said that will be easier to do at the Pepsi Center, where the series starts Sunday night. “It’s huge. If you win all your games at home, nobody can beat you,” Martin said. Paul was runner-up in the MVP voting last year and had an even better encore, averaging 22.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and an NBA-best 11 assists this season. And many of those numbers came right off the pick-and-roll, the Hornets’ bread and butter. “Chris Paul is the key to it,” West said Saturday. “He creates things off the pick-and-roll for himself and the rest of us. He is good at it. He makes the right decisions almost every single time.” Containing Paul is Denver’s top priority, followed closely by limiting West’s touches. “Chris Paul has the ball in his hands 85, 90 percent of the time,” Martin said. “If we can make it difficult on him, we can make it difficult on the other guys.”

Steamboat Pilot & Today • Sunday, April 19, 2009

Baseball continued from 1C After giving up two in the top of the second inning, Steamboat kept the bases clear. Catcher Brandon Clark picked a runner off stealing second in the third, then Tibbetts tagged a runner out to help Watwood out of a two on, no out jam. Tibbetts, playing shortstop, kept the ball after a meeting at the mound, then, as his prey took a few steps off second base, tagged out Battle Mountain’s lead runner. The move was so sly, Tibbetts had to yell and wave the ball to get the umpire’s attention to get him to actually signal the runner out. “We call him ‘Magic Matt’ because he is always doing magic (tricks),” Tibbetts said about Watwood. “So, he was able to sneak the ball into my glove with some slight of hand.

Athletic director has been eyeing position for 8 years Webbe continued from 1C “Joe would say, ‘This is our home, this is our house and these are our kids,’” Webbe said. “That was a feeling that ran through the program. We get to coach. That’s an honor. I get to be the athletic director. It’s my passion because I dreamed about it all my life.” Webbe attended the University of Northern Colorado where he studied anthropology. After he graduated, he spent a year managing restaurants before realizing he wanted to

get into teaching. “The thing I thought stood out — and like what I told some of the coaches that called — is the one thing Ken excelled at is his passion of just wanting to be at Steamboat Springs High School,” Palisade Athletic Director Mike Krueger said. “He has the connections there and at the high school. It had to have been unequaled by any other candidate.” That’s the thing for Webbe. He considers this his dream job. He’s been eyeing the post at Steamboat for eight years.

While it has been a whirlwind first three weeks — spring break comes at a perfect time, he said — Webbe said the best thing during his first few weeks on the job has been how people around the school are more than happy to help him. He said the helpfulness includes administrators, office staff and coaches from all the programs. So even as Webbe had to make decisions about whether to postpone games again on Thursday, he did so with a smile. “It’s always been, for me, the

AD job at Steamboat Springs High School,” he said. “I haven’t missed a Steamboat SpringsPalisade football game in 14 years. It was hard because part of me was rooting for Steamboat, but I had to be loyal to Palisade. Now I’m at Steamboat (and) I can be 100 percent loyal. I just want to do what’s best for kids. That’s what I’m about. I’m here to make sure parents, coaches and community focus on what’s best for kids.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

It was the 54th multihomer game of Ramirez’s career, tying him with Hall of Famer Frank Robinson for ninth all-time. In the first inning, he belted Cook’s 3-2 fastball into the left-field bleachers, giving the Dodgers a 1-0 lead. In the second, he turned on Cook’s 1-0 pitch, driving the ball down the left-field line, putting the Dodgers in front, 2-0. With 1,732 career RBIs, Ramirez is tied with the legendary Honus Wagner for 19th place all-time. Cook, a 16-game winner and all-star last season, remained winless in three starts. His ragged outing was reminiscent of open-

MLB

ing day vs. Arizona, when he left the ball up and paid a heavy price. Saturday, Cook was gone after four innings, his ledger smeared by five runs on eight hits, including three homers. Although Ramirez’s two homers set the tone, it was Andre Ethier’s three-run shot to right in the fourth that gave the Dodgers a 5-0 lead and hastened Cook’s departure. Ethier tacked on a solo homer off reliever Allen Embree in the seventh, giving Ethier four RBIs. In 12 games, he already has four home runs and 13 RBIs. Brad Hawpe’s two-run triple briefly put the Rockies back into the game in the sixth. Seth Smith drew a walk off Dodgers starter Chad Billingsley and Todd Helton followed up with a single. Hawpe sliced an oppositefield line drive to left where Ramirez made a comical dive at the ball as two runs came home. Hawpe scored on Ian Stewart’s sacrifice fly to right. Stewart also hit a solo homer to right in the eighth, his second this season. Ramirez’s other fielding misadventure came in the second. He was charged with an error when he camped under Hawpe’s fly to left only to have the ball pop out of his mitt.

Coach: This is the best team we’ve had since starting

Steamboat plays April 28 against Battle Mountain Soccer continued from 1C Even with the lopsided score, Devils coach Francois Nanin was proud of his team’s effort, especially considering his team’s 8-0 loss to Steamboat in Eagle Valley earlier this year. “I’m proud of the girls to do the long ride knowing Steamboat is the best team in the league this year,” he said. “This time it was great. They still wanted to play. They knew it would be a tough game and

they played hard. Steamboat had to work hard to score. They still have the fire to play hard and have fun.” In the second half, Steamboat got a nice header from Kiersten Henry to go up 6-0. Courtney Garth added a goal, before Berglund — normally the goalkeeper — scored her first career high school goal. Coach “Rob (Bohlmann) put me up front (Saturday) and was like, ‘it’s your turn,’” Berglund said. “There was the ball, and

I knew I should get something on it. That was scary. I got more scared playing up there than ever, playing with my back to the goal.” Anderson capped off the scoring late to give Steamboat the win. With spring break this week, Steamboat will return to action April 28 against Battle Mountain. The team then plays April 30 at Moffat County before concluding the regular season with

a non-league game May 1 at Glenwood Springs. Although the Sailors are happy to be where they’re at, winning those final three games could mean a home playoff game. Winning all three will “just make our chances better,” Anderson said. “It’s like our top priority. Overall that’s our first goal as a team.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

Bulls pass Celtics, 105-103, in overtime of Game 1 Jimmy Golen

NBA PLAYOFFS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON

Derrick Rose had a playoff debut like few others and led the Chicago Bulls to a victory against the Boston Celtics in the playoffs. Not even Michael Jordan did that. Rose matched Kareem AbdulJabbar’s record with 36 points in his playoff debut, adding 11 assists to lead the Bulls to a 105103 overtime victory against the defending NBA champions in Game 1 of their best-of-seven first-round series. Playoff experience? “He doesn’t need it,” Bulls guard Ben Gordon said. “He’s poised beyond his years. He already carries himself like a veteran out there. He had a phenomenal game tonight, to say the least.” Game 2 is Monday, the anniversary of the 1986 playoff game when Jordan scored 63 points against Boston — in a Bulls loss. In fact, Chicago had not beaten the Celtics in 10 postseason games since the Chicago Stags beat Boston in the 1948 Basketball Association of America quarterfinals. “I hope this is a wake-up call,” said Paul Pierce, who scored 23 points. “I hope we realize that the Bulls, they’re not just a team that’s happy to be in the playoffs. So hopefully the guys will wake up and realize this is reality. We’ve better come to play.” Tyrus Thomas scored 16 points — making six of Chicago’s eight

points in overtime, including the game-winning jumper with 51 seconds left in overtime. Joakim Noah, who also was making his postseason debut, scored 11 with 17 rebounds for the Bulls as they wrested the home-court advantage from Boston. “As the games go on, the moments get bigger,” Chicago coach Vinny Del Negro said. “I feel like the guys have taken a big step forward, and we know we have a huge challenge in front of us. We’ll enjoy this one for a minute and then get back to work.” Rajon Rondo scored 29 points with nine rebounds and seven assists for Boston, which was without Kevin Garnett and didn’t get what it needed from the rest of the Big Three, either. Paul Pierce scored 23 points on 8-of-21 shooting but missed the potential game-winning free throw at the end of regulation and had a potential game-tying basket blocked by John Salmons with 3.7 seconds left in overtime. Ray Allen, who scored four points on 1-for-12 shooting, had a chance to send it into a second overtime, but his jumper from the right side bounced off the back of the rim. “It just looked like everybody decided that they were going to be ‘the guy’ tonight. They were going to, you know, replace Kevin for whatever reason,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. “And then all of a sudden we got into a fight. And SCOTT STRAZZANTE/CHICAGO TRIBUNE one thing I’d say about our guys, they join in. But, at home, you’re The Chicago Bulls’ Derrick Rose and the Boston Celtics’ Rajon Rondo battle for the ball in the fourth quarter of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals at Northbank Garden in Boston on Saturday.

James helps Cavaliers to big Game 1 win THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND

LeBron James crossed midcourt and launched the ball toward the basket more than 40 feet away as the horn sounded. As Cleveland’s star, the Detroit Pistons, 20,000 fans and a TV audience watched the shot’s arching flight, James never stopped running. James “I was going to chase it until it went in the hoop,” he said. Off the backboard, through the rim, then the net. It was halftime. It was over. James banked in a stunning 3-pointer at the end of the first half and finished with 38 points, eight rebounds and seven assists as the Cavaliers embarked on their quest for a first NBA championship with a 102-84 win against the Pistons in Game 1 on Saturday. James’ 41-footer demoralized the Pistons and gave the Cavs the league’s most dominant team — home or away

NBA PLAYOFF ROUNDUP — during the regular season, momentum and a 12-point halftime lead. Cleveland held off one second-half surge by Detroit while James was on the bench and closed out the Pistons, who will try to even the bestof-seven series in Game 2 on Tuesday night. To do that, Detroit will have to devise something to slow the brilliant James, who had his way for 41 minutes. The likely MVP went 13-of-20 from the field, 11-of-14 from the line and didn’t commit a turnover. Cleveland had only five miscues, a postseason franchise record. “It’s tough when he is going like that,” Pistons forward Antonio McDyess said. “No matter what you do; trap, he’s going to make that play; contest shots, he’s making shots. He’s going to the bucket and being fouled. It’s just tough.” Asked about his range afterward, James paused. “Uh,” he said. “Pretty much unlimited.” So, it seems, is everything else about him.

Mavericks 105, Spurs 97 SAN ANTONIO

Relax now, Dallas Mavericks: The playoff road drought is over. Josh Howard led the Mavericks to their first postseason road victory since their NBA finals run in 2006, scoring 25 points in a 105-97 win against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night. The sixth-seeded Mavericks, who had lost nine consecutive playoff road games, took a big Game 1 win against their Texas rivals in typically tough San Antonio. It was just the Spurs’ fourth home playoff loss since 2007. Tim Duncan scored 27 points, and Tony Parker had 24 for the Spurs. Game 2 is Monday night in San Antonio. “We haven’t played well on the road all season long,” Mavs forward Dirk Nowitzki said. “We’ve had ups and downs, but we finished the season strong and I think that gives us confidence.” Dallas hasn’t won a playoff series since 2006, when it beat the Spurs in a thrilling seven-

game West semifinals series before losing to Miami in the finals. This one had the look of that memorable, neck-and-neck series before Dallas pulled away in the fourth, when unlikely star Jose Barea scored seven of his 13 points.

Rockets 108, Trail Blazers 81 PORTLAND, ORE.

Yao Ming scored 24 points, all in the first half, and the Houston Rockets spoiled Portland’s back-in-the playoffs euphoria with a 108-81 victory against the Trail Blazers in the opener of their first-round series Saturday night. The Rockets led by as many as 31 points in the second half, and there was simply no way the young Blazers could catch up. Yao, who also had nine rebounds, hit all nine of his attempts from the field and all six of his free throws. Portland centers Joel Przybilla and Greg Oden had no answer for the seven-time All-Star from China. Yao did not attempt a shot in the second half and sat for all of the fourth quarter.

MLB BASEBALL COMMENTARY

Yankees shouldn’t enforce patriotism Tim Dahlberg

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Bradford Campeau-Laurion may or may not be telling the whole story about what happened to him during the seventh inning stretch one August night last year at Yankee Stadium. A judge or a jury eventually will decide that, as often is the American way with these kind of things. Dahlberg Certainly, the timing of his lawsuit against the Yankees and the city of New York is a bit suspicious, coming just as the Yankees open their new monument to excess in the Bronx. Then again, Campeau-Laurion and his pals at the New York Civil Liberties Union can’t be faulted for wanting to stir up a little publicity for their side. But if Campeau-Laurion was tossed from Yankee Stadium for, as police claim, having a few beers and using inappropriate language, a case could be made for kicking out half the fans at any ballpark in America. Just doesn’t happen. Especially in New York. So, I tend to think Campeau-Laurion’s basic contention — that he was removed forcibly from Yankee Stadium because he dared to try and go to the restroom while “God Bless America” was being played between innings. That’s right, kicked out because he picked the wrong time to take a potty break. Now, I’m as patriotic as the next guy, but I’ve got a problem with that. You should, too, even if you, like a lot of your fellow countrymen, are never able to afford a seat in the new stadium. Paying good money to see a ballgame is one thing. Being forced to engage in an act of faux patriotism when you really have to go is quite another. Besides, if the Yankees are going to sell beer and not let anyone get up for the seventhinning stretch, they should at least sell boxes of Depends to go along with it. I jest, of course, if only because it is kind of silly. The Yankees and CampeauLaurion should have settled this long before it reached the federal courthouse, but they didn’t. That’s probably because both believe they are answering to a higher cause. For the Steinbrenner family, that means rallying around the flag not just once during a baseball game, but twice. Apparently standing for the national anthem before a game isn’t enough anymore, so “God Bless America” is sung during what now is an extended seventh-inning stretch. Just to make sure everyone is on board, no fans are allowed to leave their seats while it is being played. If you go, make sure you take your hat off and put your hand over your heart, lest the guy next to you think you’re some kind of Red Sox loving commie. The origin of it all, of course, was the 911 attacks, and, believe me, just watching the Yankees on TV at the time made me teary. The nation had been violated, we wanted more than anything to heal, and the performances were a tribute to the heroes and victims of that terrible day. Maybe we should just scrap “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” and recite the Pledge of Allegiance instead. Just because it was once America’s pastime, though, doesn’t mean it can decide what is patriotic and what is not.

Greinke helps Royals defeat Rangers, 2-0 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ARLINGTON, TEXAS

Zack Greinke did not allow a run for his third straight start, pitching a seven-hitter for his first career shutout. Greinke (3-0) prevailed in a matchup of aces who started the day with the two lowest ERAs in the American League — Greinke at 0.00 and Texas’ Kevin Millwood at 0.64. Greinke has thrown 34 consecutive scoreless innings. He struck out a season-high 10 and didn’t issue a walk in his fourth career complete game in 106 starts. Billy Butler had an RBI double in the sixth, and Miguel Olivo hit a solo homer in the seventh for the Royals. Millwood (1-1) allowed two runs and five hits in nine innings for his 18th career complete game.

Indians 22, Yankees 4 NEW YORK

The Cleveland Indians set the bar for Yankee Stadium’s new record book Saturday, scoring 14 runs in the second inning of a 22-4 victory. Asdrubal Cabrera hit a grand slam and an RBI single in the second as the Indians chased struggling starter Chien-Ming Wang (0-3) and set several marks that could stand for a while at New York’s swanky new home. Mark DeRosa and Shin SooChoo each hit a three-run homer, Travis Hafner, Grady Sizemore and Victor Martinez had solo shots, and manager Eric Wedge earned his 500th victory. It was the most runs for the Indians since they beat New York, 22-0, on Aug. 31, 2004, at the old Yankee Stadium. The 22 runs also tied the Yankees’ record for most allowed in a home game. Fausto Carmona (1-2) was the beneficiary of the Indians’ big day at the plate, working six innings in his first victory of the season. He allowed four runs and six hits.

Lidge (0-1) was a perfect 48-for-48, including the playoffs, in save chances last year in his first season with the Phillies. He hadn’t blown a save opportunity since Sept. 23, 2007, when he was with the Astros. Lidge entered in the ninth to protect a one-run. But Jody Gerut led off with a double and scored to tie it on Brian Giles’ grounder to first base. With two outs, Lidge walked Adrian Gonzalez and Chase Headley before Kouzmanoff took one out to left field. Heath Bell earned his league-leading seventh save for the surprising Padres, off to a 9-3 start. Cla Meredith (3-0) got the last two outs in the eighth for the victory. Chase Utley, Ryan Howard and Raul Ibanez homered for the Phillies.

Johan Santana looked perfectly at home in a ballpark built with him in mind. The two-time Cy Young Award winner breezed through seven innings in his first start at Citi Field, and the New York Mets took

advantage of a key error to scratch out the only run they needed in a 1-0 victory against the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday. A hard-luck loser so often his first season-plus in New York, Santana (2-1) allowed five hits and struck out seven without issuing a walk. He never allowed a Brewers baserunner past first. Yovani Gallardo was just as good for Milwaukee, cruising through six scoreless innings before giving way to reliever Carlos Villanueva (1-2), who gave up an RBI fielder’s choice to Jose Reyes. Turning it over to their suddenly stout bullpen, J.J. Putz set the Brewers down in order in the eighth, and new closer Francisco Rodriguez worked around a leadoff single to Ryan Braun for his third save of the season.

Ivan Rodriguez came out of an extended slump with only his second multi-hit game. His two doubles gave him three for the year and his two RBIs doubled his total for the season. In the seventh, Wandy Rodriguez (1-1) gave up his first two walks, but struck out Laynce Nix, filling in for the injured Jay Bruce, to end the threat.

Gearing up for the season

Farney Steamboat Springs bicycle shops stocked with fresh toys truly gritty N

he details are fuzzy, even to 15-year-old Luke Farney, the only one who was there. “I was longboarding,” he said, trying to remember the accident that threw his dreams into jeopardy. “I hit a rock or gravel or … something. I don’t really remember much.” Farney never will know what exactly sent him tumbling as he rode his skateboard down a Steamboat Springs’ street to a friend’s house in November 2007. He doesn’t remember much about the emergency medical flight to Denver and, of course, he doesn’t remember anything about the induced coma doctors placed him in to curtail swelling in his brain that resulted from the massive head injury. The one thing that he never forgot, though, is how much he loves to ski. Farney recovered not just from that injury but also from a broken collarbone he sustained almost a year later, and he became a key member of the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club’s freestyle skiing program. “It was like he hadn’t skipped a beat,” Winter Sports Club freestyle coach Nate Bird said. But that’s only part of the reason Farney won the “True Grit” award Tuesday night at the Winter Sports Club’s season-ending awards ceremony. Farney moved with his family to Steamboat Springs three years ago and didn’t hesitate a minute in making friends. “Right away, he seemed to become a part of the team and was good friends with everyone,” Bird said. Farney was new to the freestyle scene. He had competed for one year before transferring to Steamboat and focusing his attention on moguls. Still, the skateboarding accident kept him from gaining any real traction. While he was out of the hospital and looking fine just several weeks later, the season was lost. His dreams of freestyle success, however, were not. Farney was able to kayak through a doctor-restricted sixmonth period after his injury, then picked up with mountain biking and the Winter Sports Club’s off-season program as soon as possible. He returned to freestyle skiing only to suffer another setback early this ski season, when he caught an edge on a run at Steamboat Ski Area. He broke a collarbone and again was stuck on the sidelines. But, thanks to strong showings in the past few weeks of the season, he squeaked into the Junior Olympics and skied well. “He was throwing huge back flips in just a couple of weeks,” Bird said. “That’s really hard in our sport, to come back like that.” Now, Farney is back and ready for a summer of sports. He hopes to train as much as possible at the Winter Sports Club’s water ramp this summer. And, when winter rolls back around, he plans to take advantage of his first full season on the snow. “The award wasn’t just about him coming back from an injury,” Bird said. “He was able to come back, but always embodied the spirit of that award. It was perfect for him.”

ewer, more comfortable, stronger and lighter all work. But the easiest way to describe the new wave of products showing up in local bicycle shops this spring is just to say they’re better. The new Rocky Mountain Altitude bike, available starting at $3,499 at Ski Haus in Steamboat Springs, is an example of the continued progress of the mountain bike industry. “It has a deep seat angle, so you sit more forward and cenSTORY BY tered on the JOEL bike,” James REICHENBERGER Koch, of Ski Haus, explained. “With a traditional mountain bike, your position sags when you sit on it, and the pedals get to be more in front of you. With this one, they sag into a sweet spot, so you can continue to push down on the pedals instead of out. It gives you a lot more pedal power and traction, especially for steeper climbs.” Outside of the facts that both have handlebars, two wheels and snazzy paint jobs, the Altitude bears little in common with its predecessor, also available at Ski Haus for $2,274. A swept-back frame has replaced the more traditional design. “This is a complete new design,” Koch said. “It’s definitely going to climb better for a longer travel bike. Instead of having super-short travel crosscountry bikes, you can have a comfortable, longer travel bike that climbs just as well. The suspension and geometry are much more efficient.”

SUNDAY FOCUS

Better, cheaper Elsewhere, older technologies have started to filter down to lower-priced bikes. The Dixon, by Swobo, has the rough, gray metal look of a Detroit factory. As premium mountain bikes go, it’s a very reasonable $1,099, too. But tucked into the tame-appearing frame is years of innovation. The bike features sealed disc brakes and an internal shifting system. “Internal shifting is going to become much more mainstream, as it’s become more reliable and lighter weight,” Orange Peel’s Essam Welch said. “You don’t have a derailer to kick around and mess up the settings on. It takes less maintenance. It’s safe from the elements.” A $2,100 carbon fiber framed bike, also at Orange Peel, is another example of formerly out-of-reach technologies filtering down to become reasonable for the casual rider. “That’s the lowest price we’ve ever had a carbon fiber model at,” Welch said. “It’s not new at all. It’s been around in bikes for years, but a highly tuned, nice carbon fiber bike is now within the general public’s price point. “It’s unmatched as far as performance goes by any bike in the last 10 years made of other materials.”

JOEL REICHENBERGER/STAFF

The lineup of Rocky Mountain bikes at Ski Haus speaks to the wide range of bikes available for mountain bikers of every type. The Element 70, bottom, ($2,550) is perfect for cross-country trail riding. The Altitude, second from the bottom ($3,999) is new this year. It and the Slayer, second from the top ($4,100), are bikes that combine the comfort of a cross-country bike and the aggressive style of a downhill bike, while the Flatline 3, top, ($3,449) is meant to handle the most extreme of downhill trails with its sturdy construction and large shocks.

New gear Development hasn’t been left just to the bikes themselves. The Lazar Urbanize N’Light bike helmet, available for $100 at Orange Peel, incorporates a set of lights into the helmet. A small, bright LED light looks out the front while a larger red light is in the back. It won’t replace a lighting system meant to show the way, but the system could make a late-evening ride along a road safer. It doesn’t have the sleek, aerodynamic design of a $180 racing helmet. Instead, it might be ideal for the around-town commuter.

The internal shifting ability of the Swobo’s Dixon bike, available for $1,099 at Orange Peel, is one of several components that make it a perfect bike to ride around town in summer and winter.

The Kinetic trainer, available for $349 at Steamboat Ski and Bike Kare in downtown Steamboat Springs, was new to the market last spring. Still, Ski and Bike Kare’s Bill Kipper said they have proven to be hot items again this year. The idea is to allow bikers to get a good, long ride in, no matter the weather. The device picks up the back of the bike frame and offers resistance to

the back wheel, adding a little workout to a winter living room ride. Plus, the model is built so as not to leak oil or grease onto an owner’s carpet, a problem that has hampered similar devices. “It’s a self-contained unit, so you have no chance of oil ever escaping out,” Kipper said. “A lot of people use trainers over the winter or when they can’t get out on the trails here.”

JOEL REICHENBERGER/STAFF

The Kinetic Trainer, available at Steamboat Ski and Bike Kare for $349, offers bikers the chance to train no matter the season or weather. The trainer differs from others in that the apparatus that provides resistance to the back tire contains all of the necessary lubricant fluid in a sealed compartment and is guaranteed not to leak.

Literacy lets loose South Routt carnival gives out books and fun Zach Fridell

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

YAMPA

The giggles kept coming as student after student took a turn as a human bowling ball at the South Routt Elementary School Literacy Carnival on April 14. As the students from the elementary school made their way around the booths set up in the gym at the elementary school

in Yampa, they earned their reading material for the next several months. Each student who completed the arduous task of playing seven games was rewarded with seven new books from the school cafeteria. More than 1,000 books were purchased through grants and community donations for the event, ranging from preschool readers to chapter books for the older students.

With cars lined up and down the street in front of the school and the gym packed with eager parents and children, principal Michael Young said it looked like nearly each of the 210 students at the school attended the evening-long event, with a good number of the 48 students invited from the South Routt Early Learning Center taking their turns at events, too.

Leash laws in a bind

Dog owners group, City Council member push for 24/7 unrestricted pet parks

he city will put its reconsideration of leash laws on the fast track at the urging of a Steamboat Springs City Council member. Given the city’s declining revenues and budget cuts, Councilman STORY BY Jon Quinn BRANDON GEE said at Tuesday’s council meeting that he thinks it is ridiculous for the community service officers to spend their time “harassing pet owners.” Quinn said he was offended by an officer who recently told him he could “swim his dog” as long as he had it in on a leash. “It’s completely out of touch. It’s unrealistic,” Quinn said. “There is no reasonable opportunity to exercise your dog” under current city regulations. Director of Parks, Open Space and Recreational Services Chris Wilson said the city’s current ordinance requires pets to be on an individual’s property, in a vehicle or on a 6-foot leash. Wilson said the ordinance is comparable to leash laws across the country in urbanized areas and is necessary to protect pets and the public. “The city continues to enforce dog-at-large and warn and inform people who have dogs off-leash,” Wilson said. Wilson reminded Quinn and City Council that the city is testing trial off-leash areas at at least two city parks during two- to three-hour designated time slots throughout the week. “It’s working out really, really good,” said Frank Cefarratti, of the Responsible Dog Ownership Group of Steamboat, or RDOGS. “People want 24 hours, though, and that’s what I’m pushing for.” Wilson said he will look

to put a reconsideration of leash laws on a May agenda for the Parks and Recreation Commission. “They will move this up on the to-do list,” he said. The end product could take a number of forms, from establishing the type of dedicated, 24/7 dog park Cefarratti hopes for to sticking with the current ordinance. “It could be anything based

on public comment,” Wilson said. “Typically, what we see the community supporting is leash laws in the more developed parks.” Wilson said there is openness to relaxing the ordinance in the more natural, open space parks such as Spring Creek Park and Rita Valentine Park. Cefarratti said he agrees with Quinn that the current ordinance is too restrictive.

“I do feel it’s restrictive, but there does have to be parameters and guidelines to follow because of liabilities,” he said. “I’m optimistic about it because we are a little behind the times. … I’m just trying to get them current.” To take advantage of the city’s trial off-leash hours, dog owners must watch a video and receive a voice control certification from the city.

Biomass boilers run hot

Soroco pleased with new heating system performance Brandon Gee

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

South Routt School District’s first winter with new biomass and geothermal heating systems included some headaches but no regrets. “There were definitely some adjustments that had to be made like any big project,” said Superintendent Scott Mader, who said tweaks had to be made

to make sure school buildings were being heated uniformly. “During those cold days, we’d really find out where those problems were. … But we’re just so glad to have it other than coal. We’re so happy with it.” The Soroco middle and high schools were heated with 30year-old coal boilers until the end of last school year, when state grants and voters’ approval of a $1.57 million bond issue allowed the district to replace the

antiquated, dirty and dangerous system with a combination of biomass boilers that burn wood pellets, geothermal regulation and propane heaters. Because of the growing pains, Mader said it is too soon to say whether the system has resulted in any measurable energy cost savings for the district. “We really won’t know what that looks like until we See Boilers, page 2D

South Routt School District Superintendent Scott Mader says burning wood pellets has been a big improvement from the coal that was used in past years.

Easy breakfast treat for Mom �� W ��

��

20453081

��

hatever your age, you know you want to make Mom happy on Mother’s Day. That’s why I like to share recipes for this special holiday that anyone can cook easily for breakfast or brunch. Something freshly baked is a good start. Buttermilk biscuits are among the quickest, easiest treats anyone possibly could make. It takes just minutes to prepare the dough in a food processor (a grown-up should supervise children). Then, you need just a few minutes more to knead the dough lightly, roll it out and cut it. Before baking, the biscuits should chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour, which lets the dough relax a bit for more tender results. On the topic of tenderness, let me also suggest using about half cake flour — though, in a pinch, you could make the biscuits completely with allpurpose (plain) flour. That’s it. Nothing could be simpler. But the very simplicity of buttermilk biscuits gives you the opportunity to get as fancy as you want. Any biscuits that you don’t eat in the morning should be kept in an airtight container at room temperature after they’ve cooled. Later in the day or the next morning, freshen them up by splitting them and toasting under the broiler; then, let a pat of butter melt into each warm half and serve with strawberry jam, orange marmalade or another favorite preserve. Speaking of later in the day, I also want to share with you two other uses for the biscuits. Quickly baked after dinner, they make wonderful substitutes for shortcake

topped with lightly sweetened sliced fresh strawberries and some whipped cream. Or roll out the dough more thinly and use it in a single piece or as cutouts to top a chicken potpie. Whatever you choose to do with these biscuits, I know one thing for certain: Mom will be proud of you.

Buttermilk biscuits Makes 20 to 22 biscuits 1-1/2 cups all-purpose (plain) flour 1-1/4 cups cake flour 1-1/2 tablespoons sugar 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder 2 teaspoons salt 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 10 tablespoons (5 ounces) chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 1 cup organic buttermilk 1 to 2 tablespoons milk or cream In a food processor fitted with the stainless steel blade, combine the allpurpose (plain) flour, the cake flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Scatter in the chilled butter pieces. Secure the lid and pulse the machine on and off several times. Then, process just until the mixture resembles fine meal. With the machine running, pour the buttermilk through the feed tube. Continue processing just until the dough comes together, stopping immediately to avoid overprocessing. Taking care to avoid the sharp edges of the stainless-steel blade, turn out the dough onto a wellfloured work surface. With clean hands, gently knead the dough a few times until smooth, pushing it away

with the heel of your hand, then folding it back and giving it a quarter turn. Gather the dough into a round ball. With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1 inch. With a 2-inch cookie cutter, cut out as many biscuits as you can, gathering up the scraps, rerolling them, and cutting again until you have used all the dough to make 20 to 22 biscuits. As you cut them, arrange the biscuits on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or for as long as 24 hours. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly brush the top of each biscuit with milk or cream. Bake until the biscuits are a light golden brown, 25 to 35 minutes. Serve warm.

Buttermilk biscuits with onion and Parmesan Makes 20 to 22 biscuits Buttermilk Biscuits (see previous recipe) 1/4 cup minced onion 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried thyme 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese Prepare the Buttermilk Biscuits as described in the previous recipe, adding the onion and thyme to the food processor at the same time as the butter. After brushing each cutout biscuit with the milk or cream, sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese before baking as directed.

go through another year of it,” Mader said. “Next year will be our base year for that. … I anticipate very few problems next year.” School Board President Tim Corrigan said energy costs savings were never the main goal of the project. “I don’t think we ever anticipated we were going to have any energy savings from the installation of that system,” said Corrigan, who noted the low price of coal. “Our energy costs were always very low.” Although it may take some time to gauge the economic success of the new heating system, Corrigan and Mader said quality of life in the school buildings already has improved immensely.

“We had a constant cloud of dust, especially in classrooms and other areas that were adjacent to the coal boilers,” Corrigan said. “It was bad. We always had a layer of coal dust on everything.” Mader only became superintendent in June, but he said that even he is starting to notice the disappearance of some lingering coal residue. “I wasn’t here, but people say it’s an unbelievable difference,” Mader said. “It’s much, much better.” Corrigan said another benefit of the new heating system is that — now that the bugs are MATT STENSLAND/STAFF worked out — it requires much less attention from the district’s South Routt School District Superintendent Scott Mader talks about the new maintenance staff, who now wood-pellet boiler being used to heat the middle school. can attend to other needs. “In the past, we had to have heat the old gym on its second“We think that if we had that people constantly monitoring ary schools campus with the opportunity to heat it with the the coal boilers to keep them biomass boilers.

Mining and oil will bring new property 75 YEARS AGO From the Friday, April 20, 1934, edition of The Steamboat Pilot: There is a sound reason for the optimism that prevails through Routt County with the coming of spring. An early season with crop planting well under way is part of it. The new national measures promise to be of great benefit to the cattle and dairy industries, wool remains at a high price, and now sheep and their products are an important factor in Routt County. Then, there are other things in the way of development of natural resources. There is increased interest in metal mining, with the promise that important development will soon be under way. Oil enters the game after a long wait in which major companies did not care to develop new fields.

Conservation camp on Yampa River ready May 15 Plans are under way for the establishment of the CCC camp on the Yampa River

Looking Back Articles from our archives

above Yampa, probably the only camp to be established in Routt County. Organizers met last week at the Yampa River site to make an inspection for the location of the camp. The place decided upon is near the ranger station on the upper Yampa River. It is expected the camp will be in full operation about May 15 with a quota of 200 men. Barracks will be erected immediately, and the Lions Clubs of Oak Creek and Steamboat are urging the use of local lumber. The work will consist of repairing the telephone line, road and trails, and the building of new roads and trails. The camp is on the trail from Yampa to Trapper’s Lake, and it is expected that much improvement will be made at this entrance. The camp is in the neighborhood of Stillwaters, a favorite camping place for residents.

The camp on Elk River last year succeeded in making a wonderful improvement in that section, and it is gratifying that upper Yampa River so that it may undergo like improvement. The third enrollment in the Civilian Conservation Corps is being held in the various counties of the state, the quotas of which have not been determined but all men who are between ages 18 and 24 who are not known to be on relief organizations will be eligible. Included in the eligibility lists will be those men now enrolled who desire to re-enlist, provided their enlistment has been satisfactory.

Every family should have home garden for summer Miss Esther Elliott is urging every family to have a home garden this summer. She will tell of the importance of a garden in her talk over the radio Monday, April 23, at 12:30 p.m. Harry L. Hopkins, federal relief administration, says a home garden is possible to almost every family either liv-

ing in the country or in towns of 5,000 or less population. Without reference to other selfsustenance measures, which may be put into effect later, it should be the policy of the state emergency relief organizations to refuse to extend relief to any family failing to plant and properly care for an adequate garden when the facilities therefore are available, he said. Miss Elliott will assist each family in planting for a garden. Application should be made at once for seed and for information about care of the garden. When seeds are provided, the family agrees to plant, cultivate and harvest the products of the garden to the best of their ability. They must agree to conserve a sufficient quantity for the use of the family during the coming winter, by canning, drying or storing the surplus. If there is more than the family can use the surplus is to be donated to the FERA to assist those who are unable to operate a garden. They also are required to cooperate with the garden supervisor and the relief administrator to make the garden program a success.

A joke from Lila A woman recently went to the eye doctor and got new glasses. When she tried them on at home and looked in a mirror, she noticed some wrinkles and sagging skin and started to feel a little sad. She said to her husband: “Honey, tell me something nice so I can feel good about myself.” Her husband said: “Well, you have good eyesight!”

UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

Sunday, April 19, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Hayden Christensen, 28; Kate Hudson, 30; Luis Miguel, 39; Ashley Judd, 41 Happy Birthday: Your time to move ahead and follow your own needs and desires is now. Standing tall and being proud of who you are and what you have accomplished will lead the way to your success. Act swiftly this year to reach personal, professional and philosophical goals. Your numbers are 3, 15, 24, 27, 29, 34, 39 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take on a task or a fight that no one else is up to and you will build a loyal following. Your ability to come up with reforms and efficient, new methods will be praised by people who have been at a loss. Do the work without making a fuss and you will be successful. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t count on promises being kept. Keep secrets to yourself in order to avoid rumors and gossip. Meddling in someone else’s affairs will result in troubles you can do without. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t let someone’s jealousy or disruptive manner pose a problem for you. Family matters can be addressed and plans set to attend events or participate in an activity together. A responsibility can be shared to lighten your load. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t feel obliged to take part in things that don’t interest you. However, be supportive of friends and family who wish to engage in such activities. You will receive loyalty, respect and friendship. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t get sucked into a risky financial deal. You won’t be given all the details needed to make a practical decision. Emotional mind games may end up costing you financially, physically and mentally if you don’t protect yourself. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Think of what you would like to learn or places you’d like to visit and plan your journey. Talking to someone with experience can open your eyes to unusual means to make cash. A passionate encounter will be costly but well worth it. ★★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ve got clear passage to whatever you want to do if you are willing to put in the effort. Don’t believe everything you hear or the promises being made. Do your own research and work. This is not the time to cut corners. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Problems at home or with partners will ruin your day if you stick around waiting to be pounced on. Jealous, overreacting and indulgent individuals must be avoided. A love relationship will develop. ★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be looking for adventure and excitement and perhaps a battle to get your energy popping. Instead of looking for a ﬁght, challenge yourself to a physical game to ease your stress and give you a sense of accomplishment. ★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can write your own ticket and make alterations that will please you and the people about whom you care most. A money deal or real estate purchase is looking good. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): An argument with a sibling or someone you care for will leave you upset and confused about life, love and your future. Don’t fret; instead, expand your circle of friends and your interests. You will ﬁnd peace in the experience and knowledge you obtain. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Someone is talking about you behind your back. Don’t give anyone information that could be used against you. Be diplomatic and let situations play out naturally. You may not be able to salvage everything but you can minimize the damage. ★★★ Birthday Baby: You are powerful and courageous, a leader and a Good Samaritan. You are unique, charismatic, popular and imaginative in all that you do.
