Correction The National FFA Organization was incorrectly identified by its former name in a photo caption on page 1 and in the story “FFA sponsor honored” on page 3 of Friday’s Steamboat Today. The story “Swine flu ‘likely’ in Colorado” on page 4 of Thursday’s Steamboat Today incorrectly identified the current outbreak of swine flu as a pandemic. The World Health Organization classifies the current outbreak as a “pandemic alert Phase 5,” but a pandemic is not officially declared until the spread reaches Phase 6, the highest.

Routt County is on the brink of runoff season, when rivers and creeks rise as the aboveaverage snowfall finds its way down from the mountains and into the Yampa River, said county Emergency Management Director Bob Struble. As warmer weather systems

Kayaker Kyle Hornor plays in the fast-moving waters of the Yampa River on Wednesday evening. The spring melt has brought the river levels up in the past few weeks and also increased the possibility of flooding.

and spring storms begin to roll into the valley, the threat of flooding remains average for the season — which also means it can surge at any time. “I’d say right now we’re looking at normal runoff. But that can change with a severe weather event,” Struble said. “If you got a thunderstorm that rolled in and stayed over a drainage for a long time or put down a lot of water over a half-hour time,

Struble’s office released a preparedness guide for Routt County residents, including the proper way to build a sandbag levee and an action plan for the county in case of a flood. The guide is

What: Hayden Home Rule Charter Commission meeting When: 7 p.m. Monday Where: Hayden Town Hall, 178 W. Jefferson Ave. Agenda includes municipal borrowing/taxation, transition, improvement districts, ethics and an overall charter review. Time is set aside for public comment.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Hayden could have the base of its town charter inked by early next week. The Hayden Home Rule Charter Commission meets Monday evening to address the last of the elements of the charter. If the nine-member panel agrees on what the document should contain, the draft could go to a public hearing late this month and to the Town Board of Trustees in June. On Monday’s schedule are municipal borrowing/taxation, transition, improvement districts and ethics. The group also will address topics it set aside for further discussion, Town Manager Russ Martin said. “It won’t take long to go through those couple of sections because they’re pretty standard sections,” Martin said. “I don’t think that will take that long and then they’ll try to finalize those decisions … which could be interesting and could be lengthy.” The meeting is open to the

public. Commission Secretary James Folley encouraged Hayden residents to attend. “There seems to be a lot of people in town that have misconceptions as far as home rule and what it’s designed for, but they’re more than welcome to come to the meetings,” Folley said. Hayden residents elected the Charter Commission in March to pursue a switch to home rule. Hayden is a statutory town, which means it is governed by Colorado statutes. A home-rule town is allowed more taxing flexibility, for example. Hayden School District Superintendent Greg Rockhold is the chairman, and Bill Irvine is vice chairman. Other members

are Gordon Dowling, Trustee Richard “Festus” Hagins, Mayor Lorraine Johnson, James Lewis, Bryan Strickland and Hayden High School Principal Troy Zabel. Folley said he was pleased with the progress. “So far, they’re going real smooth,” he said about the talks. “There’re some things we need to discuss and haggle over, but once we go through it, we need to go through it with a fine-tooth comb again.” If the commission comes to a consensus Monday, the draft will go to attorneys for approval and then be made public. Residents could review it and comment at public hearings in late May, Martin said. He expects the charter to be about 30 pages long. The Charter Commission will have time to make changes based on the public discussion, but public input has been limited. “I’m hoping people will take an interest when we have a draft to go through,” Martin said. See Charter, page 11

CSAP results prove strong 3rd-grade reading scores go well for Steamboat, dip in Hayden STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Third-grade teachers at Soda Creek Elementary School were called into a noon meeting Friday for the first feedback of the year from the state assessment program, a cornerstone of accountability for schools. The results of the third-grade reading test in the Colorado Student Assessment Program are the first to be released from the Colorado Department of Education. With several weeks left in the school year, teacher Holly Barclay said the data could be helpful in shaping the final weeks of classes. “We still have a couple months of school, and now we’ll know what specific skills to work on,” she said. Eighty-five percent of Soda Creek third-grade students scored in the proficient and advanced reading categories, a score con-

sistent with the 85 percent last year and 84 percent in 2007. Strawberry Park Elementary School had 93 percent of thirdgraders in the top two tiers, with 89 percent in those categories last year and 95 percent in 2007. Hayden Valley Elementary School recorded 63 percent of third-graders in the top two reading categories, a decrease from last year’s 96 percent. In 2007, the school had 77 percent of third-graders in the proficient or advanced categories. In Yampa, South Routt Elementary School recorded 68 percent of third-graders as proficient or advanced readers, compared to 48 percent last year and 61 percent in 2007. Scores for smaller schools tend to jump or fall more dramatically because of the small number of students tested — 32 this year in Hayden and 34 in South Routt. Soda Creek teacher Chris Kramer said that while there’s always room for improvement,

��

he’s happy that the school maintained high scores. “The numbers show some kids performed well, they really rose to the challenge. It was hard for third-graders,” he said. The CSAP numbers also will be useful for tracking how specific programs in the school shaped student achievement, he said. “The jury’s still out if (the test) aligned well with our reading series,” he said. “I think it did, to a certain degree. The test results will speak for themselves.” The state is emphasizing the growth model, a way to track individual student progress from year to year, a tactic Barclay said will help gauge what works and what doesn’t. “I think it will hold us accountable that all kids are growing, no matter where they come in at,” she said. Parents should begin receiving their child’s individual results in the mail in the coming weeks and months.

Josh Bodden opened The Deep Steep Tea Co. in April, hoping his unique business will open the eyes of tea lovers from across the Western Slope. He has been selling loose tea, as well as cups of tea, from across the world, including India, Japan and China.

Tea shop up and steaming Store owner Josh Bodden offers customers a steep and a seat STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Josh Bodden has been drinking lots of tea. He’s sampled every one of the 77 teas and tisanes at his new shop, The Deep Steep Tea Co. Tisanes are products such as fruit or herbal blends that aren’t made from the tea plant, Camellia sinensis, Bodden explained. He’s spent a couple of years becoming an expert and opened the shop April 6 downstairs in Old Town Square.

If you go The Deep Steep Tea Co. is at 635 Lincoln Ave., downstairs in Old Town Square. It’s open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Bodden sells loose tea from all across the world, as well as tea accessories. “I’m a huge fan of tea,” Bodden said. “I don’t drink coffee at all, so that’s how it came about.” Bodden started drinking loose-leaf teas a couple of years ago. He’s lived in Steamboat Springs for seven

years, and he ran a day care with his wife, Stacey, before opening The Deep Steep. He had the idea to open a tea shop about a year ago. “My daughter is going to kindergarten, and I knew that I wanted to do something different,” Josh Bodden said. “It just seemed like the right time.” He signed the lease in March and opened April 6, leaving the shop’s structure much as it was when Awesome Shirtworks occupied the space. He remodeled a bit and painted, adding See Tea, page 11

Tom Cannon, the 68-yearold Routt County resident who shot and injured his neighbor’s golden retriever Wednesday, says the incident has been overblown and that the shooting was the result of repeated trespasses. Cannon was arrested Wednesday night after Routt County Sheriff’s Office deputies were called to his home on Valley View Lane near Yellow Jacket Pass. On Friday, Cannon admitted to shooting the dog but said it was an accident. “I was aiming at the ground in front of him, and I inadvertently hit his foot,” Cannon said. Cannon said the dog was back running around Thursday, one day after being shot. Cannon, who has lived on Valley View Lane for 25 years, said his neighbor’s dog often wanders onto his property and sometimes approaches the barn where Cannon’s cat lives. Cannon said the dog has never posed a threat to him, but he has feared for his cat. Greg Nelson, the dog’s owner, said his golden retriever had never before ventured onto Cannon’s property and

that trespassing complaints have never been made to the authorities. “That statement is ridiculous,” Nelson said about the trespassing allegations. Nelson said his family was having a paintball war Wednesday when the golden retriever and Nelson’s 13year-old son wandered onto Cannon’s 16-acre property. The boy was not walking the dog as initially was reported. Cannon said the boy was between 50 and 75 yards away from the dog when he pulled the trigger. Cannon also disputed his neighbors’ claim that he was wearing only his underwear. Cannon said he was fully clothed when he fired his rifle in an attempt to scare the dog. “It’s being blown out of proportion,” Cannon said about the incident. He was arrested on suspicion of prohibited use of a weapon, careless discharge of a firearm and cruelty to animals. Cannon was released later Wednesday night on $750 bail. Routt County Sheriff’s Office deputies have said alcohol may have been a factor in the incident. Cannon said he had only one beer with dinner before the shooting.

COMMENTARY

Do you have something to say about a story we’ve written?

Genius: the modern view David Brooks

THE NEW YORK TIMES

Some people live in romantic ages. They tend to think that genius is the product of a divine spark. They think that there have been, throughout the ages, certain paragons of greatness — Dante, Mozart, Einstein — whose talents far exceeded normal comprehension, who had an other-worldly access to transcendent truth and who are best approached with reverential awe. Brooks We, of course, live in a scientific age, and modern research pierces hocus-pocus. In the view that now is dominant, even Mozart’s early abilities were not the product of some innate spiritual gift. His early compositions were nothing special. They were pastiches of other people’s work. Mozart was a good

musician at an early age, but he would not stand out among today’s top childperformers. What Mozart had, we now believe, was the same thing Tiger Woods had — the ability to focus for long periods of time and a father intent on improving his skills. Mozart played a lot of piano at a very young age, so he got his 10,000 hours of practice in early and then he built from there. The latest research suggests a more prosaic, democratic, even puritanical view of the world. The key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not a divine spark. It’s not IQ, a generally bad predictor of success, even in realms like chess. Instead, it’s deliberate practice. Top performers spend more hours (many more hours) rigorously practicing their craft. The recent research has been conducted by people like K. Anders Ericsson, the late Benjamin Bloom and others. It’s been summarized in

two enjoyable new books: “The Talent Code,” by Daniel Coyle; and “Talent Is Overrated,” by Geoff Colvin. If you wanted to picture how a typical genius might develop, you’d take a girl who possessed a slightly above average verbal ability. It wouldn’t have to be a big talent, just enough so that she might gain some sense of distinction. Then you would want her to meet, say, a novelist, who coincidentally shared some similar biographical traits. Maybe the writer was from the same town, had the same ethnic background, or, shared the same birthday — anything to create a sense of affinity. This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self. It would, Coyle emphasizes, give her a glimpse of an enchanted circle she someday might join. It also would help if one of her parents died when she was 12, infusing her with a profound sense of insecurity See Brooks, page 9

An affordable salvation Paul Krugman

THE NEW YORK TIMES

The 2008 election ended the reign of junk science in our nation’s capital, and the chances of meaningful action on climate change, probably through a cap-and-trade system on emissions, have increased sharply. But the opponents of action claim that limiting emissions would have devastating effects on the U.S. economy. So it’s important to understand that just as denials that Krugman climate change is happening are junk science, predictions of economic disaster if we try to do anything about climate change are junk economics. Yes, limiting emissions would have its costs. As a card-carrying economist, I cringe when “green economy” enthu-

MALLARD FILLMORE

siasts insist that protecting the environment would be all gain, no pain. But the best available estimates suggest that the costs of an emissions-limitation program would be modest, as long as it’s implemented gradually. And committing ourselves now actually might help the economy recover from its current slump. Let’s talk first about those costs. A cap-and-trade system would increase the price of anything that, directly or indirectly, leads to the burning of fossil fuels. Electricity, in particular, would become more expensive, because so much generation takes place in coal-fired plants. Electric utilities could reduce their need to purchase permits by limiting their emissions of carbon dioxide — and the whole point of cap-and-trade is, of course, to give them an incentive to do just that. But the steps they would take to limit emissions, such as shifting to other energy sources or capturing and sequestering much of the carbon dioxide they emit,

would without question raise their costs. If emission permits were auctioned off — as they should be — the revenue thus raised could be used to give consumers rebates or reduce other taxes, partially offsetting the higher prices. But the offset wouldn’t be complete. Consumers would end up poorer than they would have been without a climatechange policy. But how much poorer? Not much, say careful researchers, like those at the Environmental Protection Agency or the Emissions Prediction and Policy Analysis Group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Even with stringent limits, says the MIT group, Americans would consume only 2 percent less in 2050 than they would have in the absence of emission limits. That still would leave room for a large rise in the standard of living, shaving only oneSee Krugman, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

We construct ourselves through behavior Brooks continued from 8 and fueling a desperate need for success. Armed with this ambition, she would read novels and literary biographies without end. This would give her a core knowledge of her field. She’d be able to chunk Victorian novelists into one group, Magical Realists in another group and Renaissance poets into another. This ability to place information into patterns, or chunks, vastly improves memory skills. She’d be able to see new writing in deeper ways and quickly perceive its inner workings. Then she would practice writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and error-focused. According to Colvin, Ben Franklin would take essays from The Spectator magazine and translate them into verse. Then he’d translate his verse back into prose and examine, sentence by sentence, where his essay was

inferior to The Spectator’s original. Coyle describes a tennis academy in Russia where they enact rallies without a ball. The aim is to focus meticulously on technique. (Try to slow down your golf swing so it takes 90 seconds to finish. See how many errors you detect.) By practicing in this way, performers delay the automatizing process. The mind wants to turn deliberate, newly learned skills into unconscious, automatically performed skills. But the mind is sloppy and will settle for good enough. By practicing slowly, by breaking skills down into tiny parts and repeating, the strenuous student forces the brain to internalize a better pattern of performance. Then our young writer would find a mentor who would provide a constant stream of feedback, viewing her performance from the outside, correcting the smallest errors, pushing her to

take on tougher challenges. By now, she is redoing problems — how do I get characters into a room — dozens and dozens of times. She is ingraining habits of thought she can call upon in order to understand or solve future problems. The primary trait she possesses is not some mysterious genius. It’s the ability to develop a deliberate, strenuous and boring practice routine. Coyle and Colvin describe dozens of experiments fleshing out this process. This research takes some of the magic out of great achievement. But it underlines a fact that often is neglected. Public discussion is smitten by genetics and what we’re “hard-wired” to do. And it’s true that genes place a leash on our capacities. But the brain also is phenomenally plastic. We construct ourselves through behavior. As Coyle observes, it’s not who you are, it’s what you do.

Now would be good to start saving planet twentieth of a percentage point off the average annual growth rate. To be sure, there are many who insist that the costs would be much higher. Strange to say, however, such assertions nearly always come from people who claim to believe that free-market economies are wonderfully flexible and innovative, that they easily can transcend any constraints imposed by the world’s limited resources of crude oil, arable land or fresh water. So why don’t they think the economy can cope with limits on greenhouse gas emissions? Under cap-and-trade, emission rights would just be another scarce resource, no different in economic terms from the supply of arable land. People like Newt Gingrich, who says that cap-and-trade would “punish the American

people,” aren’t thinking that way. They’re just thinking “capitalism good, government bad.” But if you really believe in the magic of the marketplace, you also should believe that the economy can handle emission limits just fine. So we can afford a strong climate change policy. And committing ourselves to such a policy actually might help us in our current economic predicament. Right now, the biggest problem facing our economy is plunging business investment. Businesses see no reason to invest, since they’re awash in excess capacity, thanks to the housing bust and weak consumer demand. But suppose that Congress were to mandate gradually tightening emission limits, starting two or three years from now. This would have no immediate effect on prices. It would, however, create major

incentives for new investment — investment in low-emission power plants, in energy-efficient factories and more. To put it another way, a commitment to greenhouse gas reduction would, in the shortto-medium run, have the same economic effects as a major technological innovation: It would give businesses a reason to invest in new equipment and facilities even in the face of excess capacity. And given the current state of the economy, that’s just what the doctor ordered. This short-run economic boost isn’t the main reason to move on climate-change policy. The important thing is that the planet is in danger, and the longer we wait the worse it gets. But it is an extra reason to move quickly. So can we afford to save the planet? Yes, we can. And now would be a very good time to get started.

Parents on the Steamboat Springs High School AfterProm Party committee still are accepting donations in preparation for tonight’s event. Organizers are looking for monetary donations, prize donations and workers to help with Sunday morning clean-up efforts. The event is expected to cost about $13,000. “I think we’ve done well, but we can always do a little bit better,” parent Bethanne Dressel said. The event will include a mechanical bull, line dancing, two bands, dodge ball, carnival games, a hypnotist, a storyteller, food, drinks and movies all night long at the high school to provide an activity for students after the dance.

“The old-timers will tell you to look at the ski mountain and look at Storm Peak, and when you start to see the dirt, that’s when the peak (runoff) is. For 15 years, I’ve basically been watching that, and it’s pretty true,” she said. Hoj said there are two brown spots that appear before the others on Storm Peak, and when the two patches of bare earth combine into one large patch, that’s the time to be aware of the dangers of the highest water.

‘Snow-eating rain’

Snowfall this year has been above normal, and 53 inches of snow remain on Rabbit Ears Pass with a water equivalent of 28.4 inches, according to Snotel monitors. Even so, Hoj said the erratic weather of the early spring may help prevent a massive runoff event. “I think it’s been a fairly slow melt-off. It gets cold, it gets hot, it gets cold. That’s good,” she said. Nevertheless, a news release from the emergency management office warns: “Routt County could realize the effects of the melt from midApril through June. However, no one can predict the spring weath-

er, including warm temperatures and precipitation that will determine the rate of flow in the tributaries, creeks and rivers in Routt County. Local and state officials have been monitoring the flows in the Yampa and Elk River drainages and are prepared to respond to the possibilities of high water situations.” In May of 2008, heavy runoff filled the Elk River to record levels that caused flooding in North Routt County’s Seedhouse Road area and at the Elk’s confluence with the Yampa River, near Routt County Road 44 east of Milner. County officials and emergency crews distributed more than 7,000 sandbags to hold back the rising waters. Hoj, one of the owners of the Steamboat Yacht Club restaurant, said she remembers a flood in 1996 that had water up to the windows of the restaurant and flowing under the deck outside. Instances like that are caused by “snow-eating rain,” she said, which happens when spring rains hit snowpack. Should a high-water situation occur, sandbags are available for purchase at Elk River Farm and Feed, Yampa Valley Feeds and MJK Sales and Feed. The county generally does not provide sandbag services. “It’ll come up pretty quick-

ASPEN

While health and school officials in Aspen and Pitkin County are bracing for a local outbreak of the swine flu, area residents are weighing the risk of traveling to Mexico — a popular offseason destination where the virus was suspected of killing 159 people and sickening nearly 2,500 as of midday Wednesday. U.S. health officials had confirmed 91 cases in 10 states, including the first swine flu fatality — a Mexico City toddler who traveled to Texas with family to visit relatives died Monday night in Houston — but no confirmed cases had yet been reported in Colorado, local officials noted during a televised press conference Wednesday in the Pitkin County Courthouse Annex. At the county level, an incident management team has been meeting for three years to plan for the possibility of a flu epidemic or pandemic. Of late, the team has been meeting daily, said Liz Stark, director of Community Health Services, with which the county contracts to provide public health services. Stark said she also participates daily in a conference call with state health officials and representatives of most counties in Colorado.

Snowmass Village group sues WestPac Goodfellows files lawsuit against development company Wyatt Haupt Jr. THE ASPEN TIMES

SNOWMASS VILLAGE

A Snowmass Village company is suing Related WestPac LLC, claiming the development company reneged on a $400,000 deal to buy assets and assume a lease. Goodfellows filed the lawsuit Thursday in Pitkin County District Court. The company operates Goodfellow’s Pizzeria and Deli at the Silvertree Hotel in Snowmass Village. The lawsuit states Goodfellows and WestPac entered into an agreement of sale in March 2008, in which WestPac “agreed to purchase all of the assets utilized in connection with Goodfellows’s business and assume its lease” with Silvertree Hotel. A sum of $100,000 was deposited with an escrow agent as earnest money and partial payment, court papers say.

“The contract provided that ... upon expirations of the due diligence period, the deposit would become nonrefundable for all purposes,” and go to Goodfellows. “That amount was turned over to Goodfellows, leaving a balance due” of $300,000. The contract called for the transaction to close April 15, with the remaining balance to be paid to Goodfellows, the lawsuit states. However, on April 2, B. Joseph Krabacher, attorney for WestPac, forwarded a letter to Goodfellows advising the restaurateur it was “not going to be closing on the purchase” of Goodfellows assets. That prompted a response April 9 from Goodfellows “demanding that WestPac honor” the contract and close the transaction as scheduled. “WestPac failed and neglected to honor its contractual obligations by failing to close the transaction on April 15 ... and its default has continued to the date

of this complaint,” the lawsuit states. Related WestPac spokesman Steve Alldredge declined comment. Goodfellows alleges a breach of contract and claims it is entitled to receive damages, including the loss of benefit of their bargains, and reimbursement of any rent which they will have to pay as a result of WestPac’s failure to honor the deal. The lawsuit is the latest in a number of financial issues for WestPac, including foreclosure proceedings recently started against several Snowmass Village properties owned wholly or in part by the company. A few weeks ago, the company also halted construction on part of the Residences at The Little Nell at Base Village, citing an inability to secure financing. And last fall, WestPac suspended work on three buildings for the same reason.

Wall Street rally extends into a third month NEW YORK

Wall Street extended its rally into a third month, shrugging off more reminders of the recession and placing cautious bets on an economic recovery. Stocks ended higher Friday after a day of quiet back-andforth trading as investors determined that they could add to the gains of March and April despite mixed economic data

and earnings reports. The advance left the stock market’s major gauges with gains of about 1.5 percent for the week. Wall Street has been growing more optimistic about the economy stabilizing, but the reports Friday confirmed that business conditions remain difficult and that any recovery likely is to be gradual. A private group’s measure of the manufacturing industry showed a slower contraction in

April than March. However a separate government report said orders to U.S. factories declined more than expected in March. Companies also reported mixed results. MasterCard’s first-quarter revenue decreased short of expectations and two major insurance companies posted losses for the quarter. Reports from manufacturer Manitowoc and computer security software maker McAfee beat forecasts. Earnings reports have been a

major driver of the stock market during the past few weeks. The S&P 500 index, a broad measure of the market, increased 9.4 percent in April, the biggest monthly jump since March 2000. “After the big run-up everyone is just trying to step back and trying to put their game plan together for the next month,” said Sean Simko, leader of fixed income management at SEI Investments in Philadelphia.

For the week, the Dow increased 1.7 percent, the S&P 500 index added 1.3 percent and the Nasdaq increased 1.5 percent. For the Dow and the S&P 500, it was the seventh gain in eight weeks. The Nasdaq has risen for eight straight weeks.

Sailors, Demons end in a draw Jeff Caspersen

GLENWOOD SPRINGS POST INDEPENDENT

GLENWOOD SPRINGS

Hope Whitman’s long-range shot sailed over the soccer crossbar and off the football crossbar positioned just above the soccer goal at Glenwood Springs High School. The home crowd at Stubler Memorial Field erupted when Glenwood’s Michaela Mansfield headed the resulting ricochet past Steamboat Springs goalkeeper Hanna Berglund. A packed house thought its Demons had netted the golden goal that put the 4A Western Slope League champion Sailors away. Not so, as the football crossbar is technically out of bounds. Moments later, the whistle blew on the second half of overtime and Friday’s matchup of Western Slope girls soccer heavyweights officially went down as a scoreless draw. But that late sequence served as a fitting end to a day littered with near-misses, stifling defense and stingy goalkeeping. For two teams heading to the 4A playoffs next week and accustomed to beating up on the rest of the league, a heated draw was a welcome sight. “I couldn’t ask for anything better,” Glenwood Springs coach Bryan Stoltzfus said. “I’m sure their coach and I agree this is what you want before the playoffs. It’s a tie, so nobody’s bummed, but it keeps you grounded.” Steamboat Springs coach Rob Bohlmann did, in fact, share Stoltzfus’ perspective. “Both teams gave a great, blue-collar effort,” he said. “The result was pretty fair. Both teams had opportunities throughout the game, you know? I think it was a pretty fair result. ... The pressures of a tight game like that is good preparation for both teams as we head into the playoffs.” Glenwood (12-1-1 overall, 91-0 WSL) had perhaps the two best looks at goal.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Steamboat Springs High School’s boys lacrosse program soon won’t forget its 2009 season. It was the year the Sailors won the inaugural Mountain Conference championship and

went, 13-0, in the regular season. It also was the year the program made its first trip to the state playoffs. Perhaps most important, it’s the year the Sailors legitimized themselves as an upper-tier lacrosse program. The team’s season ended Friday afternoon with an opening-round 16-11 defeat

at the hands of Lewis-Palmer at Gardner Field. The mood in the locker room afterward was somber, particularly for the team’s seniors. “It’s hard,” senior Jasper Gantick said. “There are a lot of emotions going through my head. We played with those guys. Those guys are one of the top teams in the state. We were abso-

lutely with them from the get-go. “The best thing I saw was, yeah, we got down four or five goals there, but we showed heart and came back. That’s what I like about this team. There’s a lot of heart in Steamboat.” There was a lot of heart on both sides Friday. See Lacrosse, page 20

On Friday, Drew Roberts was thinking more about his classes at the University of Colorado than the happenings at the NCAA Skiing Championships, which took place in March. But today, Drew and the rest of Steamboat Springs can relive the 2009 NCAA Skiing Championships as part of special presentation of CBS Sports Spectacular.

show also might include several interviews outside of the races. Roberts said the idea of a brother and sister skiing at the national level, on different teams, seems to have thrust his family into the spotlight. He has not seen the finished product, however, and still isn’t sure what to expect from the show. According to the CBS Sports Television Web site, the Championships of the NCAA Winter Highlight Show airs at noon today on Channel 4.

Two of Steamboat’s — and the nation’s — best young snowboarders will be featured on Fuel TV’s hit show “New Pollution.” The show, which features the three extreme sports stars 16and-younger, will have segments on local snowboard prodigies Taylor Gold and Maddy Schaffrick. Gold’s episode airs at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, while Schaffrick’s airs at 6:30 p.m. May 10. Fuel TV is on Comcast channel 409, and DirectTV channel 618. Film crews from Fuel TV spent multiple days at the Steamboat Ski Area filming both riders. Show host and professional surfer Matt Beacham also interviewed Gold and Schaffrick to get an inside look at their lives. “We pretty much focused on the different features one by one,” Schaffrick said. “I’d hike the pipe a little bit and then go

EXTREME SPORTS ride a rail for a little bit. It was all around the pipes and rails, but it was a lot of fun.” Past seasons of the show — which highlights snowboarding, wakeboarding, surfing and BMX riding — have featured skateboarder Chaz Ortiz, BMX rider Dennis Enarson, surfer Alana Blanchard and snowboarder Ellery Hollingsworth, among others. For Gold, the experience was exciting and nerve-wracking. Having a crew follow him snowboarding all throughout Steamboat was something completely different. “You have to think about what you need to do get the shot,” he said. “But overall it was fun. Having the crew around made me ride better.” Gold’s segment was filmed in early January. He said he spent part of the shoot just doing some free riding around the area before going to the pipe and rails. He also shot a day at

Copper Mountain. “It was pretty fun,” he said. “They were fun to work with and I think the show was really fun to watch.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

go, but we were hoping Shelby Reed would be one of them,” Steamboat coach John Aragon said about Reed, who missed most of the year with a balky back. “It didn’t happen for her, but she really is a class act. It hurt, but she gave (her) best effort and really supported her teammates. She just had a great attitude.” Except for Valicenti, Diehl and Siegel, all of the other Steamboat players have been to the state tournament before. The tournament begins on Thursday and runs through Saturday in Pueblo. Even with a little less experience at some positions, Steamboat should be in a good position to do well.

“I think our team can surprise a lot of people and do very well,” assistant coach Don Toy said. “They do work very hard. I’m expecting a good strong showing at state.” Steamboat will practice Monday and Tuesday before leaving for Pueblo on Wednesday. Aragon said he sees several girls with the potential to medal at state. It all depends, he said, on how hard the team is willing to work. “I do thinks some kids can medal down there,” Aragon said. “We’re looking forward to be down there. I’m going to tell them ‘there are not a lot of players that get here, you’re some of the lucky few so, make it count.’ They have to play hard and leave the best effort on the court.”

Roberts said he isn’t sure how big a role he will play in the taped presentation, which highlights this year’s championships, but said TV crews spent a good part of the week filming him and his sister Tina, who skis for rival Dartmouth University, during the championships. “I think they focused on us because we are siblings skiing on two opposing teams,” Roberts said Friday. He thinks the show will focus on the actual races but said the

Steamboat coach: This shows we can compete at this upper level Lacrosse continued from 18 The Rangers took an early 5-1 lead thanks to Brian Cole, the state’s leading scorer. Cole, who scored seven goals Friday to give him 201 for his career and push his consecutive scoring streak to 51 games, netted two early scores and dished out assists on two others. “That was huge,”Lewis-Palmer coach Sean Denmeade said. “I mean, it’s always nice to get out to a lead and establish yourselves in a game. Part of the game plan was to get a jump. They’re a good team. They played well and kept us sweating the whole time.”

Steamboat bounced back with goals by Tyler Samlowski, Brian Bertrand and Gus Worden, all in a two-minute span at the end of the first to cut the lead to 5-4. But the game turned LewisPalmer’s way in the second quarter. Cole and fellow attackman Jesse Briley each added two more goals, and Erik Johnson chipped in one to help the Rangers to a 10-4 lead. Steamboat’s Jack Spady and Worden added late first-half goals to cut the lead to 10-6 at halftime. “I told the kids back here they could have bellied up when they jumped up and have the momentum,” Steamboat coach

Bob Hiester said. “But the kids battled. The group has character, they have courage. They didn’t get down on each other. That’s been the trademark of this group.” That attitude led to a Steamboat rally. The Sailors cut the deficit to 11-9 at the end of three quarters thanks to two Spady goals and one by Garret Ehrick. Seemingly with momentum, the Sailors’ Ian Anderson cut the lead to 11-10 with 11 minutes, 9 seconds left in the fourth quarter. After the teams traded possessions, Steamboat got two quality shots — one of which hit the post — at the 8:30 mark but couldn’t

get the equalizer. That’s when the Rangers turned to Cole. The senior, who will play Division III lacrosse at St. John Fisher College in upstate New York next year, split a double team and scored with 7:41 left in the game to take the air out of the Sailors. “I’m thinking that our team needs to step it up,” Cole said. “I know we’ve played good teams and we’ve beaten good teams and we’re better than we were playing. We had a timeout and told the team to step up and play like we can. It’s happened all season. It’s not a big surprise

anymore. I like it. I like the challenge.” Steamboat wouldn’t get any closer. Samlowski made it 1311 with 4:57 remaining before Lewis-Palmer tossed in three more tallies as the final minutes dwindled away. “If they would have beaten us 16-4 it would have been a whole different thing,” Hiester said. “We played them. They had to play hard. I think this showed we can compete at this upper level. We had opportunities and couldn’t connect, but we never let up. They hustled to the very end. That shows character. That’s what I’m most proud of.”

Swine flu affects tourism Epidemic starting to reshape travel industry in Mexico Natalia Parra

Acapulco’s mayor is telling tourists from Mexico City to go home, and residents are stoning their cars. Cancun’s hotels are pleading for visitors to fill their empty rooms. The swine flu outbreak is remaking tourism in strange ways in a country heavily dependent on it. Tourism to Mexico has plummeted since the swine flu outbreak was declared a week ago, causing the tourism secretary to say Friday that he’s shelving funds earmarked for a publicity campaign until after the epidemic subsides. Rodolfo Elizondo acknowledged it isn’t the best time to promote Mexico as a vacation spot. Treasury Secretary Agustin Carstens said the flu will be a heavy blow to tourism, Mexico’s third-largest legal source of foreign currency. Mexico’s resorts, however, are experiencing the crisis in very different ways. The top destination, Cancun, caters largely to foreigners, who
