STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

As Memorial Day weekend and the traditional start to summer approaches, many expect a busy year for local campgrounds — despite the economy — because of low gas prices and vacationers seeking cheaper alternatives. “It’s been our experience that our visitation will either stay the same or go up when the economy is down because of that whole ‘staycation’ idea,” said Brent Lounsbury, senior ranger at Steamboat Lake State Park. “For a $6 day pass, there’s a lot you can do in a state park.” Statewide, camping reservations are up 2 percent at Colorado State Parks, spokeswoman Deb Frazier said. Steamboat Lake will be open for Memorial Day weekend. Lounsbury noted that the park’s overall camper numbers likely will be down this year despite the increased demand, because several campsites will be closed while the park mitigates the impacts of the mountain pine beetle infestation. The same is true for U.S. Forest Service campgrounds. Lingering snow and hazardous

trees mean no Forest Service campgrounds in the Hahn’s Peak/Bears Ears Ranger District will be open Memorial Day weekend. District recreation specialist Kent Foster said the Forest Service is working hard to prepare campgrounds for what could be a busy summer. “I’ve talked to a lot of people who said they’re going to camp local this year,” Foster said. Private campground operators also are experiencing an increase in demand. Steamboat Campground Manager Heather May said reservations are down for Memorial Day weekend but that the campground and RV park is booked solid in July and August. “We’ve definitely had an increase. Usually we’re not fully booked by this time,” May said. “We’re seeing a lot more people locally … from Colorado … rather than taking that trip to California or Mexico.” See Camping, page 7A

In her ideal world, the center would be off the grid, environmentally friendly and beneficial to nonprofit groups across Northwest Colorado. “What I would hope is, we could assist in filling gaps or moving the youth environmental world to the next level,” Van De Carr said. The idea for a center grew out of a youth corps staff retreat about a year ago, but Van De

Carr has had it on a back burner for six or seven years. A youth and environment center would centralize her group’s operations, she said. The corps has offices at Colorado Mountain College’s Alpine Campus, keeps equipment in a warehouse off the premises and runs a science camp at PerryMansfield Performing Arts School and Camp. “There’s really no place in Northwest Colorado that you can house 100 people,” she said, “Perry-Mansfield excepted, but obviously they have their pro-

grams, and they’re pretty full.” Van De Carr expects to need 5 to 8 acres for the buildings and sleeping accommodations, as well as immediate access to 100 acres of natural environment. She’s looking at several options, including Emerald Mountain land that Lyman Orton owns. “There’s a lot of land in this area that would be perfect,” Van De Carr said. “It’s just a matter of finding the right partner.” See Youth center, page 7A

enforcement organizations to crack down on low seat belt use with a special enforcement mobilization effort, “Click It or Ticket,” through May 31. The effort is intended to increase seat belt use among drivers and passengers, and reduce fatalities. Colorado has a secondary enforcement law for adult drivers and front-seat passengers. Drivers can be ticketed for violating the seat belt law if they are stopped for another traffic violation. “Click It or Ticket” enforcement focuses on speeding and aggressive drivers. Drivers who are stopped for a traffic violation and aren’t using a seat belt will be ticketed. “Research shows us that if people would just take two seconds to buckle up, it could help save their life,” Steamboat police Sgt. Rich Brown said. “That’s why we’ll be out in force making sure that all passengers, in all vehicles, are buckled up.”

Colorado’s weed law allows the county to spray and bill landowners who don’t manage weeds on their property, but Routt County Commissioner Doug Monger said the county’s approach has been to focus on education and outreach rather than enforcement. “My objective is to educate landowners because a lot of them just don’t know,” Brown said.

Lawmakers meet with Greeley bank victims THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Members of Colorado’s congressional delegation are asking U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner for federal stimulus funds to bail out small banks after the failure of a Colorado agricultural bank left hundreds of farmers and ranchers struggling. Colorado Sens. Mark Udall and Michael Bennet and Rep. Betsy Markey said the bank failure created a need for about $700 million in agricultural loans that other lenders haven’t been able to provide.

his father, Dean Vogelaar. He worked first at Steamboat Resorts for his parents’ friend Steve Dawes. “I saw very quickly that he’s a hard worker, and he brought that Midwestern work ethic,” Dawes said. Roney said he learned a lot from the man he still calls “Mr. Dawes.” “He was a great person to have around for your first year,” he said.

Roney started as a part-timer at Market on the Mountain in 1994. He moved to full time in 1995, becoming manager in 1998 and general manager about five years ago. “He had a strong desire to learn the business, and he had a good rapport with the other employees,” Dawes said.

Yampa Street shuffle Several businesses moving, opening, planning amid economic downturn

ays of sunshine are filtering through the dark clouds of the recession, casting light on several Yampa Street businesses. Sunpies Bistro’s owners are trying to buy their lot. Sweet Pea Market has changed locations, and owners are considering a year-round operation. Crepe business Mountain Mama’s has set up shop on a Yampa Street lot for summer, and Steamboat Flyfisher plans to open in The Olympian on Yampa in June. Sunpies, at 735 Yampa St., has started its fifth summer, said Mike STORY BY Miller, who owns the BLYTHE TERRELL bistro with his wife, Colleen. A Denver man owns the property, and Colorado Group Realty and then Green Courte Partners were the landlords and property managers until April 30, Miller said. The bistro and bar’s initial lease was three years. The Millers then received a one-year extension. The plan always was to develop the space into something else, Mike Miller said. But the recession has changed the development landscape. Now, he and Colleen hope to make their business’s home permanent. “We’ve known all along that the lease was going to be up at the end of April,” he said. “So anytime you get a chance to buy it, you try. We’ve been talking to the owner since December.” The couple is renting month to month while they try to negotiate a deal, Miller said. He expects Sunpies to be open through summer even if a purchase doesn’t work out. Miller noted that business has been steady despite the recession. “Everybody’s been down, and we’ve been up,” he said. “So we appreciate all the people that keep coming in.” The Millers’ hopes partly prompted Sweet Pea’s move. The open-air produce market sat on property that’s part of the Sunpies parcel, co-owner Jonathon Hieb said. So he and Katherine Zambrana are moving their business one slot east, to what was once One Stop Ski Shop. Construction was in full swing last week. They’re using beetle-killed wood

in the building and plan to offer outdoor seating along the Yampa River, Hieb said. Sweet Pea is scheduled to open Saturday. “I think we’re going to make it,” he said. “It’s going to be tight.” The summertime market also moved because health officials want floors and walls for businesses that sell eggs and dairy, Hieb said. He and Zambrana have expanded their offerings throughout the years and might expand them further if they opt to stay open all year. They haven’t decided on that yet, Hieb said, but they’re preparing the building just in case. “It is definitely a consideration … right now,” Hieb said. “I would say that we’re leaning toward it. The biggest challenge for going year-round for us is how we’re going to be different from Bamboo (Market) and Healthy Solutions.” Sweet Pea is adding a kitchen, which

could allow it to offer bakery items or café products, Hieb said. The owners don’t want the spot to be just another grocery store. “The past two years, we’ve been really trying to increase our produce line of being local within Colorado, and we’re about 80 percent there now, which is really, really neat,” he said. Across the street and down a block, sisters Jill, Julie and Tara Wernig are setting up for summer business at Fifth Street and Yampa. The women started Mountain Mama’s this winter, selling crepes out of a caboose at Gondola Transit Center. They plan to open June 5, Jill Wernig said. The shop will operate 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday, and they’ll stay open a bit later Friday and Saturday, Wernig said. The menu is “going to be a little bit

pared down, but there’s going to be all of our favorites,” Wernig said. The winter season was decent for the business, though traffic slowed after Christmas, Wernig said. Mountain Mama’s will be open through September, depending on weather and whether they take the caboose to music festivals, she said. “We’re expecting a big summer,” Wernig said. “People are looking for something different to eat.” Nearby, at the new Olympian, Steamboat Flyfisher is preparing to open. Copartner Tim Kirkpatrick said the shop would be ready in early June, and a grand opening is planned for June 13. Things are moving quickly on Yampa, Hieb noted. “It’s kind of strange how much things can change in a year on that one street,” he said.

Comforts strong in recession Groups struggle to Hershey, Kraft report double-digit growth amid down economy Deb Riechmann THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

It’s not all doom and gloom in the U.S. economy. Some products are bucking the recession and flying off store shelves. Sales of chocolate and running shoes are up. Wine drinkers haven’t stopped sipping; they just seem to be choosing cheaper vintages. Gold coins are selling like hot cakes. So are gardening seeds. Tanning products are piling up in shopping carts; maybe more people are finding color in a bottle than from sun-worshipping on a faraway beach. Strong sales of Spam, Dinty Moore stew and chili helped

Hormel Foods post a 6 percent increase in first quarter sales in its grocery products unit. Consumers have trimmed household budgets and postponed buying cars, major appliances and other big-ticket items. Yet they still are willing to shell out for small indulgences and goods that make life more comfortable at home, where they are spending more time. “The focus on the family hearth is something that has happened in nearly every recession. It’s, ‘How can I have more fun at home?”’ said Paco Underhill, whose company, Envirosell, monitors the behavior of shoppers and sellers across the U.S. and in other countries. “People are much more

focused on their homes and their immediate happiness, and they’re buying things that they can use themselves — seeds, fishing equipment. Lipstick and chocolate are small rewards that make you feel better.” Profits in the first three months of 2009 at Hershey, the nation’s second-largest candy maker, surged 20 percent and beat Wall Street’s expectations. Kraft Foods reported doubledigit growth in macaroni and cheese dinners — the consummate comfort food. Recessions, it seems, are good for love. During the final three months of 2008, condom sales increased 5 percent, and Match. com reported its strongest performance in seven years.

help poor families THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

Lack of funding is forcing a group that helps thousands of low-income families living in motels and apartments along Colfax Avenue to consider suspending summer operations. The Colfax Community Network says it is struggling with funding for its operating costs, which go to pay the organization’s rent, employee salaries, utilities and phone bills, and that a large foundation grant fell through just as demand for the group’s services continues to increase. The group is on pace to serve more than 10,000 people

this year, more than double the number last year. “We have families hungry and losing their homes right now,” said Brooke Davidson, the group’s executive director. “We need help with these operating dollars. Once we meet our needs, we are in a better position to serve others.” The group provides food, clothing, bus passes and other assistance to low-income families. The group’s board will vote Tuesday whether they should stop operations for June, July and August. The group’s food and clothing bank still would be operational, but only three days a week.

OUR VIEW

Housing policy changes offer promise

Rick Akin

SPECIAL TO THE PILOT & TODAY

he success of the city’s affordable housing policy should be measured by its ability to produce desirable units for qualified buyers, a feat that has proved difficult since the adoption of the inclusionary zoning ordinance two years ago. Constructing the wrong units for the wrong buyers isn’t a model AT ISSUE for success, but we fear that’s what Proposed the ordinance, as currently writaffordable ten, does. With First Tracks at housing policy Wildhorse Meadows as the most changes concrete example, the city needs more flexibility in its approach to affordable housing policy. That’s OUR VIEW why we’re encouraged by the Council’s Steamboat Springs City Council’s proposals proposed changes to the incluoffer increased sionary zoning ordinance. flexibility and As outlined by the council last week, the revised ordinance would renewed offer developers a variety of ways hope that ordinance can to help the city meet its goal of providing affordable housing for accomplish our work force, from fee-in-lieu its goal. payments to voluntary real estate transfer taxes to the dedication of land. Although the existing ordinance allows for some flexibility through its “alternative compliance methods,” we think a less rigid approach will get the city what it wants more quickly. Fee-in-lieu payments and voluntary real estate transfer taxes are attractive because they provide a pot of money the city can use in a variety of ways for affordable housing. In terms of First Tracks, the City Council has signed off on a deal with the developers that includes the city providing down payment assistance to the 12 buyers who are qualified to purchase affordable units in the Wildhorse Meadows project but who may be prevented from closing on them because of strict lending requirements. The details of the down payment assistance haven’t been worked out. Even more attractive is the ability for the city to use money from developers to purchase land for the development of affordable housing. Some fear revising the ordinance to allow developers to institute a “voluntary” real estate transfer tax is a legal challenge waiting to happen. Real estate transfer taxes — which are imposed on the first and subsequent sales of units within an affected project — are illegal in Colorado unless they were in existence before the tax was outlawed or are negotiated as part of an annexation. City Council attorney Tony Lettunich told council members last week that the issue of a voluntary real estate transfer tax hasn’t been tested in Colorado courts, and he questioned whether a court would rule the tax voluntary if it was an option given to developers within the context of a mandatory affordable housing ordinance. A successful legal challenge could set the city and affordable housing progress back if a court ruled that the revenues already collected from a transfer tax had to be remitted. It’s also difficult to gauge how much money for affordable housing a real estate transfer tax would create, if for no other reason than because it’s impossible to know how often a unit will be sold and purchased in future years and decades. Fees in lieu and land dedication — like the 4acre donation recently offered by developers of the proposed Steamboat Highlands — are a surer thing, providing a level of assurance lacking with real estate transfer taxes. Cities across the country have struggled with affordable housing policy, and Steamboat has proven no different. But we think the council, in listening to the development community and considering a revised ordinance with more flexibility, is nearing a solution far better than what’s in place now.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Bus safety priority This is in response to a letter written by one of your readers (“School bus safety,” Krista Andress) in the Wednesday Steamboat Today. Our school bus drivers are trained professionals who are very good at performing the difficult task of monitoring student behavior while driving a large, complex vehicle in rural and urban conditions. The School District Transportation Department has a process for managing student misbehavior that begins with the bus driver speaking with the student. If the inappropriate behavior continues, the school is notified, and the principal addresses the issue with the student and, if necessary, contacts the student’s parents. The letter writer referenced a letter that I had sent to the parents of students on one particular bus. My letter to the parents included a list of bus rules and expectations. I asked the parents to review the bus rules with their children and remind them about the importance of riding safely. The request for parent volunteers to ride the bus came from individual meetings with several parents of students who ride that bus. Yes, we do have some cases

of taunting and bullying on our buses, but it is addressed as it would be anywhere else in our school system. When behavior appears to be getting out of hand, we work with the bus driver to monitor and report conditions on the bus so that, with the help of school administrators and parents, we can ensure a safe bus ride. Studies by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration consistently show that the school bus is far and away the safest form of transportation anywhere, and I believe that our Transportation Department confirms those studies.

Make walking safer The sadness of the loss of Bob Bear will be felt by all of us for a long time — his family, friends and students. Bob was tragically hit last week when crossing U.S. Highway 40 at Pine Grove Road. As George Tolles states in his letter to the editor May 13, that crosswalk is terribly dangerous, and for future safety, it needs to be remedied. But any crosswalk

is only as safe as the awareness of the drivers going through it. The driver who hit Bob was turning right on a red light, and I’m sure he greatly regrets that he did not consciously look long enough to his right to see Bob. Senior citizens and children need extra time and our conscious attention to safely cross the streets. My 93-year-old mother-in-law loves to walk, and making it across crosswalks is a challenge. When the walk light comes on and the seconds start to tick away, she quickly gets started, watching the pavement to stay steady and going as fast as she can to make it across in 22 seconds. In our daily rushing around, how many times have we all pulled up to a stoplight to turn right, stopped, looked left to see if any cars are coming, and then turned right? We all need to take a few more seconds, looking left and right before we turn into a crosswalk. Steamboat is a wonderful place to walk with great walking paths, marked crosswalks and beautiful scenery. We drivers need to take the time to keep it safe for all of us to walk.

Protecting our water Doug Monger and Christy Belton SPECIAL TO THE PILOT & TODAY

“Here is a land where life is written in water.” — Thomas Hornsby Ferril Ferril, Colorado’s one-time poet laureate, could have had the Yampa Valley in mind when writing that line. Whether we’re ranchers or retailers, miners or mountaineers, engineers or environmentalists, drillers or developers, precious water from our streams, rivers and wells is the most basic ingredient of life. Here in Northwest Colorado, where some of the last unallocated water in Colorado remains, we’ve had several recent wakeup calls. Shell Oil’s filing for additional water rights on the Yampa River for possible use in future oil shale production was one. The plan to pump water from Flaming Gorge Reservoir through Wyoming to Colorado’s sprawling Front Range is another. Reaction came quickly and

forcefully as water users and providers, anxious to protect existing allocations and leave room for future growth, joined local governments in the region to seek legal standing in the Shell filing. Others wonder why no public meetings have been scheduled in Northwest Colorado about the project to divert some of Colorado’s share of water stored at Flaming Gorge to eastern Colorado. There’s ample reason for concern along the Yampa and the White rivers. Beyond the specifics of water law, which may allow room for both proposals, there’s concern about what either of the new diversions and additional contributing factors could mean to those of us who slake our thirst, irrigate our fields, and propel our economic lives with the waters of those rivers. “The waters that surround us cannot simply be divided up, used and thrown away like commodities from a store shelf,” former Interior Secretary Bruce

Babbitt wrote in his 2005 book “Cities in the Wilderness.” “Everyone lives downstream from someone else, and how we use water in one place has repercussions throughout that watershed, for wildlife, for the land and for our own well being.” “Downstream” could mean many things if all that’s planned for Northwest Colorado comes to fruition. It could mean dramatically increased water demands from additional development of natural resources. Several recent studies, relying on estimates of energy and water demands of full-scale oil shale industry contained in the Bureau of Land Management’s Programmatic Environmental Impact Study, suggest that. Although the industry has challenged those estimates, it has yet to tell us exactly what production level to expect. But attempts to secure additional rights seem to conSee Water, page 5A

On Dec. 16, 1773, a meeting was organized by the Sons of Liberty and chaired by Samuel Adams at Boston’s Old South Meeting House. The meeting was one of a series that had been organized to address the considerable objections of the colonists to the Tea Act. After Adams announced that, “This meeting can do nothing further to save the country,” a band of between 30 and 130 men, some thinly disguised as American Indians, left the meeting bound for Boston Harbor. The men then boarded the Dartmouth, the Eleanor and the Beaver, and they dumped 342 chests of tea into the water to protest the tax and the manner in which it had been imposed. This was the Boston Tea Party. Its participants are our philosophical forebearers — common people standing up against the intrusion of government and the unfair imposition of taxes. About 236 years later on April 15, 2009, Denver’s 9News reported, “A large protest was held outside the Routt County Courthouse in Steamboat Springs.” This was, of course, the locally organized Tea Party, held on the same date as hundreds of others across the country, and inspired by the spirit of 1773. As one of the organizers of this Tea Party, I spoke with dozens of enthusiastic participants, all of whom were asking, “What do we do next?” The crowd’s enthusiasm and the desire to take a stand has resulted in the formation of the 1773 Club — commemorating the efforts of the brave people of Boston who stood up against government oppression in that year. I am pleased to note that, despite mud season, about 50 people assembled Tuesday at the inaugural meeting of Steamboat’s 1773 Club. In addition, and largely through connections with the Leadership Program of the Rockies, other 1773 Clubs are springing up across the state. I have been asked to make the purpose of the 1773 Club clear. Here is my view of our mission: The 1773 Club is a nonpartisan organization existing to promote the principles of the Constitution of the United States: liberty, limited government, lower taxes, fiscal responsibility, free-market capitalism, a strong national defense and individual rights and responsibilities. We are firm believers in the notion that the United States is great because of its people and their freedom — not because of its government. We would hold with Gen. George Washington in his observation that, “Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.” And with Thomas Jefferson, who observed, See Akin, page 5A

No argument that sales tax collections are down. … Just as the good times do not last forever, neither do the bad times. The challenge is to keep things in perspective. There are some excellent signs that consumer spending is recovering. Will it return to 2007 spending level any time soon? Doubtful. A return to consumer spending levels of 2004-05 is likely more realistic. — Scott Ford

Resource development a vital part of our economy Water continued from 4A firm increased pressure on local water supplies from commercial operations. Add in expectations for increased population contained in the recent impacts study done for the Associated Governments of Northwest Colorado. That growth, whether from energy development or other drivers, brings increased demand for water for new residents. If existing rights for municipal and industrial uses can’t meet the demand, water that now sustains our agricultural economy will be in the crosshairs. Then, there are fears about whether supposedly unal-

located water really will be there when needed. Estimates of water still available in the Colorado River and its associated basins such as the Yampa and White vary widely. Respected water leaders such as Eric Kuhn, general manager of the Colorado River Water Conservation District, worry that in a dry year the river already may be over-allocated. That, too, may be a worst-case scenario but doesn’t prudent planning demand that it be considered? The list of other potential impacts includes water necessary to maintain endangered species, the necessity to provide agreedupon deliveries to Arizona, Nevada and California, and

the need to maintain the quality of the waters in these rivers if they’re to continue to sustain healthy populations, economies and lifestyles. Growth is preferable to stagnation, and resource development is a vital part of our economy. But we’ll be well served by heeding the warning signs contained in studies done from perspectives as varied as the Yampa/White and Colorado River Roundtables, Western Resource Advocates, Associated Governments of Northwest Colorado, the Rand Corporation, the BLM and other government agencies.

“The class is very academic. Of the 32 kiddos graduating, the top five kiddos all have 4.0 (GPA) or higher, and No. 6 is 3.9,” Henderson said. “The top 13 kiddos have 3.5 or higher. I would say that to have a 3.5 or higher for almost half the class, that’s probably somewhat unusual.” Class president Caitlin Mahanna said the class also was competitive in sports.

Private campground on Yampa preparing for visitors Camping continued from 1A May said the private campground on the Yampa River in western Steamboat is doing a lot to prepare for the visitors, from purchasing new washers and dryers to stocking up on merchandise for its gift store. “Definitely loaded our store up for the first time in a long time,” May said. Improvements at Steamboat Campground are part of a national trend, according to the National Association of

RV Parks & Campgrounds, a Larkspur-based organization that represents more than 8,000 private parks nationwide. “The recession is temporary, and most campground and RV resort operators believe that it behooves them to move forward with their improvement plans if they want to remain competitive with other travel and tourism options,” President and CEO Linda Profaizer said. “Reservations are running ahead of last year. People still want to vacation. Camping is

affordable. It’s an affordable way to vacation.” The average price in Colorado for a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline was $2.61 Saturday, down from an average of $3.91 during Memorial Day weekend 2008, according to AAA Colorado. “We’re going to have the lowest gas prices we’ve seen in years,” said AAA Colorado spokeswoman Wave Dreher, who said she expects a lot of pent-up demand to be released by people who have skipped

vacations in recent years. “People don’t want to miss out on vacation two years in a row.” According to AAA projections, 37 percent of Memorial Day travelers in the West plan to hike or bike, 29 percent are visiting a national or state park and 14 percent are visiting beaches or other water bodies. “It obviously is suggesting that those of us in the West want to take advantage of these outdoor activities,” Dreher said.

Van De Carr: Diversity is what really strengthens people Youth center continued from 1A

Making preparations Van De Carr hopes to push the dream forward with the help of training she’ll receive through a fellowship. She was one of five Coloradans to receive the 2009 Livingston Fellowship from the BonfilsStanton Foundation. The $25,000 fellowship will go toward professional development. It isn’t easy for nonprofit group leaders to use that money on themselves, she said. “It’s been made very clear that this money is going to support my development,” she said. Van De Carr plans to spend some of the money on services from an executive coach. She wants help achieving a healthy blend of time for work, family and herself. “As busy executive moms know, trying to balance those three things is tricky and frustrating,” she said. Van De Carr also hopes to gain the skills necessary to build her organization to a point where

she doesn’t have to run day-today operations. That could leave her time to build a coalition among nonprofit groups and to focus on the proposed youth development and environmental center. “The end result of the fellowship, it may involve laying the groundwork for this center,” Van De Carr said. She wants the center to serve youths across the region and across age groups. She also would like to help different types of youth, such as those who are at risk, those with special needs and those who are headed for college. “That’s what really strengthens people is that diversity,” Van De Carr said. Her goal is lofty, she acknowledged. “Our initial plan was by 2013,” Van De Carr said. “Given the economic recession … it’d be great to break ground by then, it’d be even better to have it up and running by then.” She’d like to build the center with little long-term debt so

other agencies and nonprofit groups could use it at low or no cost. Van De Carr also would like college students interested in green building to help with the design. She imagines the center as a pure, healthy place. “I not only see this as being built with green technology but promoting a healthy lifestyle by being alcohol-, tobacco- and other drug-free,” Van De Carr said.

Benefits to others Chris Wilson, the city’s director of Parks, Open Space and Recreational Services, didn’t have an official comment but said his agency might be interested in using such a center. “Certainly as a companion organization that runs the Community Youth Corps, we would be interested in and believe there might be some crossover activities,” Wilson said. Julie Dalke, media coordinator for Northwest Colorado Board of Cooperative Educational Services said she

planned to talk with Van De Carr about the possibilities a center would offer. “Play space and environmental education is something BOCES would like to promote as a best practice for our schools,” Dalke said. Yampatika Executive Director Sonja Macys is thrilled about the idea. Nonprofit groups in the valley that are focused on youth education and the environment already are working together, Macys said. “We’re working very closely together, but that collaboration could be increased and improved with just proximity to a site and having a site where youths could come and learn,” she said. Her group is on board. “Down the road, the vision of creating something that is more adequate for not only today’s activities but the growth of organizations is very exciting,” Macys said. — To reach Blythe Terrell, call 871-4234 or e-mail bterrell@steamboatpilot.com

New market owner plans few changes to business Market continued from 3A and Gifts. She hired her son when she and Dean worked for the Kansas City Royals baseball club. He was 16 when he started there. Gary “ran the press boxes and worked for all the media relations,” Vogelaar said. The Stuarts “kind of stole him” from Dawes, she said with a chuckle. “He’s been with them ever since, and it’s been a very positive, wonderful, wonderful story,” Vogelaar said. Market on the Mountain sits at Village Drive and Après Ski Way, smack in the middle of condominium central. It’s open

year-round and offers staple food items, snacks and deli products, as well as a liquor store. Roney said he looked forward to his new role but enjoyed working for the Stuarts. The couple couldn’t be reached for comment last week. “They’re outstanding,” he said. “That’s why I stuck with the job for 16 years. They’ve been a great part of this community, great bosses.” The Stuarts and Roney have talked about the ownership switch for 10 years, Roney said. “It was always in the plans,” he said. Both parties decided the time was right. The Stuarts

have retired, Roney said, adding that he expects the couple to stay involved in Steamboat’s community. Bill Stuart has been active in the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association, for example, Roney said. He wanted to take the helm mostly because he sees the market as a viable business that fills a need. “I feel this is a successful business,” he said. “We get great support from management companies around Steamboat and great support from locals.” Roney plans to make few changes at the market — so few that he was reluctant even to discuss them. He switched the music from classical to jazz.

He’s adding a few recipes. He also plans to be involved in the community. “I still plan on being part of the Chamber, still plan on being part of the airline program and making sure we’re working with the management companies around here,” Roney said. He’s pleased with the staff he has in place and isn’t overly worried about the economic recession. “I think you have to be nervous even if it wasn’t this economy,” Roney said. “It’s something when you’re a new business owner, and you spend money, and you spend time. … I am nervous, but I’m looking forward to it.”

“Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.” — Douglas MacArthur Col. Robert Bruce Osborn’s life was marked with determination, courage, optimism and enthusiasm for everything he touched.

His many decorations included the Legion of Merit twice, three Bronze Stars with V for valor, and a Purple Heart. Upon retirement he moved to Austin, Texas, and obtained a doctorate in history at the University of Texas and ended his career working side by side with his wife, Althea, and Gary Keller at the founding of Keller Williams Realty. Bob is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Althea Evelyn Osborn. Althea fought by his side during his three-year battle with cancer, providing unwavering strength, support and love. He is also survived by his three children, Ann, Richard, and David; his brother Jerry; and his seven grandchildren, Cheris, Cheaven, Rachel, Andrew, Camilla, Nadia and Isabella.

The previous owners established several bird feeders. It’s so nice to sit out on the deck and watch the birds,” McNamara said. Horizons is a private, nonprofit agency supporting people with developmental disabilities in five counties in Northwest Colorado. Horizons director Susan Mizen said the new adult group home replaces a Horizons residence that was a rental property. “Last fall our lease came up for renewal, and we decided to look for a house to purchase,” Mizen said. The lease actually ends in May, but her agency plans well ahead any time it contemplates moving its clients to minimize disruptions in their routines. In this case, Horizons was

with at least three bedrooms. Single-story homes are relatively rare in Steamboat, but Horizons had some allies in the search. Board member Dennis Kuntz is a Realtor with Exceptional Properties, as is Marylou Wisdom, of Country Living Realty in Craig. Realtor Pam Lindahl, of MacArthur

rented. The agency could not have contemplated replacing one of the two rentals with a wholly owned home without the revenue from its one mill of property tax, Mizen said. The property tax generated a little more than $1 million in 2008. See Horizons, page 2B

“The entire board is grateful for this opportunity afforded by the property tax,” Mizen said. Horizons put down $250,000 on the purchase and borrowed the balance in part to conserve cash reserves in a time of uncertainty about state funding for its programs, she added. Horizons made an offer on the Bockelman home last fall, but it was rejected and the agency continued its search into late winter. With the options dwindling this spring, the Bockelmans contacted Lindahl and countered the offer, leading to the sale. “When that happened, we were pretty excited,” Mizen said. “We just feel so glad that we got them into a home that is a little safer for them.” When Horizons owns a home, it’s easier to install new safety features such as grab bars in a bathtub, Mizen said. McNamara and other staffers took care to minimize disruptions during the move, to maintain the clients’ routines and reduce any anxiety about the move, McNamara said. The older adults in the home all work nearby, on the cleaning crew at Ace at the Curve hardware store. Steamboat II does not have mass transit service, but Horizons took the opportunity to place the older residents, who are already dependent on

Horizons Specialized Services recently purchased this home in Steamboat II, which will act as a group home for the organization. The three clients and a counselor recently moved into the home.

the agency for transportation, in the new home. Because they came from more than one preexisting home, opportunities opened up to shuffle other residents to achieve a higher level of compatibility. At the new home, three resident staffers will rotate through each day to be on hand for the residents’ needs. Mizen was pleased to be able to report that one of the neighbors had already sent a welcoming message to the new household in Steamboat II. “It has worked out so well,” Mizen said. “All of the staff is happy about it.” — To reach Tom Ross, call 871-4205 or e-mail tross@steamboatpilot.com

Homeowner says historic designation was a benefit Historic continued from 1B

houses and a red light district. Only one structure from that era remains in Brooklyn. The Savage House was built decades after statewide prohibition in 1916 brought an abrupt halt to illicit commerce in the little community across the river from Steamboat Springs proper. However, the Renchs’ home is the best remaining example of a wood frame home of its type in Brooklyn, historic preservation planner Alexis Casale said. The historic registration process began when Kate and Craig Rench applied for a building permit and consequently were con-

tacted by members of the city’s Historic Preservation Program about opportunities for tax credits that come with voluntary historic designation. The city passed a new historic preservation ordinance in February and hired a consultant to inventory eligible properties in the city. Friends warned the Renchs that if they accepted historic designation, they would be limited in what they could do with their property. However, Kate Rench said through the historic process, they were able to obtain a variance allowing them to build a second gable on the home instead of the single gable that they might have

settled for. “We decided it was to our benefit,” she said. “The committee members asked us why we were building a dormer on only one side of the house.” Bottom line: They were able to add a walk-in closet and master bath to the upstairs bedroom. “Right now, we don’t have any closets in this house,” Rench said. The new dormers, when complete, will add five feet to each side of the upper floor of the 1,200-plus square-foot house. Casale said the process was aided by the fact that the dormers, which opened up the second story ceiling of the home, are consistent

with the vernacular style that is prevalent in Steamboat’s oldest neighborhoods. Also among the first three additions to Steamboat’s new historic register are Howelsen Hill and Lithia Spring. Historic Preservation staff assistant Ginger Scott said several more city-owned properties are on the agenda for consideration by the preservation committee at its next meeting. They include the Rehder/First National Bank building, Carver Power Plant and Carver House. Participation in the city’s historic register is voluntary for residential property owners. Scott said postcards would be mailed to owners of homes found to be eligible by the consultant, inviting them to an informational meeting from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. May 27 at Centennial Hall on 10th Street.

Building was listed at $2.3M On the Market continued from 1B Properties, LLC. Mitch Clementson, a principal in Steamboat Real Estate, said he is in negotiations for a long-term lease to remain in the building. “My No. 1 goal is to keep Steamboat Real Estate operating and healthy,” Clementson said. Clementson and Realtor Tom Valicenti were the sellers of the building. Valicenti moved his real estate practice to High Mountain Sotheby’s International Realty earlier this spring. Michelle Avery, of Coldwell Banker Silver Oak Ltd. real estate, brought the buyer to the sale. She said her out-of-town client owns other property here and was looking for a less expensive residential property in downtown for investment purposes. “He sees value in the market right now,” Avery said. She said she presented 635 Yampa to him, even though it’s zoned commercially, because she thought it could be a good value. The building, which includes Yampa River frontage, was listed for $2.3 million.

For tax year 2009, the county assessor is required by law to reappraise all real property to a June 30, 2008 level of value. Notices of Valuation reflecting the 2009 values will be sent to owners of real property by May 1. The information used by the assessor to value your property is available for your review. From May 4 through June 1, owners of real property may protest the value or the classification established by the assessor. This protest period provides an opportunity for taxpayers to inform the assessor of errors in classification, property description, or other discrepancies that may result in a reduction in value or change in classification. Objections must be filed with the assessor’s office by mail or in person by June 1. Upon review of your protest, the assessor may need to physically inspect your property to confirm that the property characteristics are accurate.

REAL PROPERTY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY PROTEST DEADLINES Colorado law requires the county assessor to hear objections to real property classification and valuation beginning no later than May 4, 2009. Objections to the valuation or classification of real property must be postmarked, delivered, or presented in person to the county assessor’s office no later than June 1, 2009.

Thus, on and after August 5, 2009, the proper filing venue for all White River Drainage Basin applications and subsequent documents is Water Division No. 6. Under the prior statutory provision, venue for White River Drainage Basin applications has been in Water Division No. 5. Revised Water Court Rule 2 of the Uniform Local Rules for All Water Court Divisions, with an effective date of July 1, 2009, requires counsel for applicants and opposers to file and serve applications and all subsequent documents through the approved judicial branch e-filing service provider. Rule 2 also provides that applicants and opposers without counsel shall file a single copy of the application and all subsequent documents in original paper format, and the water clerk shall scan and upload such paper-filed documents to the approved judicial branch e-filing system.

On and after August 5, 2009, the Water Clerk for Water Division No. 6 shall accept for filing and publication all White River Drainage Basin applications, and subsequent documents in the case, filed in Water Division No. 6. On and after August 5, 2009, the Water Clerk for Water Division No. 5 shall not accept for filing and publication any White River Drainage Basin applications attempted to be filed in Water Division No. 5. The Water Clerk for Water Division No. 5 shall issue pre-cancellation notices pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-305(7) for all White River Drainage Basin applications filed prior to August 5, 2009 that are subject to future findings of reasonable diligence. The pre-cancellation notices shall direct applicants to file applications for findings of reasonable diligence in Water Division No. 6. The Water Clerk for Water Division No. 5 shall make available to the Water Court for Water Division No. 6 all prior cases that pertain to the diligence applications upon the issuance of the pre-cancellation notice. To help alert White River Drainage Basin applicants and their attorneys regarding these statutory and rule revisions, the water clerks for Water Divisions No. 5 and No. 6 shall publish this order in the May through August 2009 full resumes of applications for both divisions.

SPORTS COMMENTARY

John F. Russell

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

Unnoticed, but still appreciated

t is one of the most important training facilities in the Yampa Valley, yet drivers rarely notice it as they fly along U.S. Highway 40 on their way to Denver or the turn for Oak Creek. Truth is, unless they happen to be looking, most drivers miss the water ramp on the backside of Bald Eagle Lake, which sits just off the roadway between downtown Steamboat Springs and the base of Rabbit Ears Pass. There might even be a few drivers in town who pass it every day and still couldn’t tell you where it is, if asked. It’s not flashy like Howelsen Hill’s plastic-covered ski jumps or intimidating like Howelsen’s slopes, both of which grab plenty of attention from visitors walking through downtown — even in the summer. But although the water ramps at Bald Eagle Lake go unnoticed by some, they have earned a reputation. The U.S. Ski Team has taken notice and scheduled camps in Steamboat, along with many other ski clubs based in Colorado and the region. The ramp also has been noticed by many aspiring skiers and snowboarders. Some of them have moved to our area to train with top-level coaches and get their feet, legs and arms wet in the chilly waters of Bald Eagle. “It’s drawn many top skiers to Steamboat Springs since it opened,” said Rick DeVos, executive director of the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club. “Having a water ramp makes the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club an automatic for a lot of elite-level athletes looking for a place to come train.” This summer marks the sixth year since the club opened the ramp, with the help of Native Excavating owner Ed MacArthur. He’s not only supported the ramps, but continues to make sure the facility stays and looks up to date. Sure, there still are a few people who have no idea where the ramp is, but that doesn’t bother DeVos, the people who train at the facility or the staff who make sure the ramp remains vital. Those people don’t care about being in the spotlight, because they understand that jumping into the water keeps them on the cutting edge of their sport and gives them a leg up long before the snow starts to fly each winter. “These days, you have to train 12 months a year,” DeVos said. “Athletes need these jumps to stay competitive.” This summer, Routt County planners will review the ramp and then consider supporting another special use permit. The last one expired last fall. There are a lot of coaches, athletes and staff members who are hoping that the ramp will be approved once again. They all understand that facilities, even the ones that are hard to see from the highway, are what make this Ski Town USA.

Worsley swims to top Steamboat senior takes state title in 50-meter freestyle Luke Graham

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

LOVELAND

It’s not often a state champion is disappointed. But it’s not often a swimmer such as Steamboat Springs High School senior Cole Worsley — who swims for Moffat County — graces the high school ranks. So even after Worsley didn’t reach his goal of winning two individual state titles at

the Class 4A State Swimming Championships in Loveland on Saturday, the normally stoic Worsley took time to finally smile a little bit at his accomplishments. With a title in the 50-yard freestyle and a second-place finish in the 100 butterfly Saturday, Worsley wrapped up one of the most decorated swimming careers in Moffat County High School history. “I’d say I’m pretty disappointed in not winning (the 100),”

Worsley said. “But I did get first in the 50, I guess.” With the win in the 50, Worsley now has two state titles and two runner-up finishes. He won the 100 butterfly last year and finished second in the 50 freestyle. The day started out well for Worsley. Seeded first in the 50, Worsley did what most thought he would. He went wire-to-wire LUKE GRAHAM/STAFF in the event, finishing in 21.22 Cole Worsley swims the 100-yard butterfly during the finals of Saturday’s Class 4A See Swimming, page 3C

Murphy Smartt soars over the bar during Saturday’s high jump competition at the state track meet in Lakewood. Smartt, a Hayden High School junior, placed second in the event.

Smartt leads Hayden Tigers add more points during state meet’s final day

aturday had disaster written all over it for the Hayden High School track and field team. Entering the final day of the state meet, the team’s top medal hope, high jumper Murphy Smartt, was hobbling on a twisted ankle. The team’s super sprinter, Jake Walker, was battling a chronically injured knee and Holli Salazar, perhaps the school’s most dominating athlete, was fresh off a crushing upset in Friday’s shot put finals that denied her back-to-back championships in the event. It wasn’t even noon before it was obvious that, like the first two days of the state championship track meet in Lakewood’s JeffCo Stadium, the Tigers had licked their wounds and fought through the obstacles. Hayden picked up a second-place performance from Smartt in the high jump, a surprising third-place finish from Salazar in the discus, a fourth-place finish from

SUNDAYFOCUS STORY BY JOEL REICHENBERGER the boys 400-meter relay and a fifth-place showing from Walker in the 100 finals. Smartt rolled his ankle before the track meet even started. Hayden stopped off in Golden on its way to Lakewood for a day of training. Smartt jumped off a safety mat and said he never felt the same. Still, it didn’t seem to slow him in the high jump. The junior finished just 1 inch short of the personal best he recorded last week. He tied with Kent Herman, of HiPlains, in clearing 6 feet, 5 inches, but was dropped to second place after having accumulated more misses at the lower heights. “It was all right,” Smartt said. “I was always conscious of my ankle, but I still left it all out there. “I’m a little mad at myself. My second

attempt at 6-6, I just tucked a little otherwise I would have had it. I would have won the championship.” Smartt entered the meet with the second-best mark, so his finish wasn’t a great surprise. Salazar, though, performed well above her previous best to place third in the discus. Her throw of 116-1 was 2 feet better than her nearest competitor and earned her a third-place medal for the second day in a row. This one, though, tasted a little better than the shot put medal from the day before, an event she had hoped to win going away. “Third right now is feeling pretty good,” Salazar said. “I was ranked eighth and got third. I’m really excited about that.” Like Smartt, both Walker and the 400 relay team of which he is a part came away with a hint of disappointment. See Track, page 3C

The game was delayed by rain for 1 hour, 47 minutes in the bottom of the second inning. Clint Barmes hit his fourth home run, and Ryan Spilborghs had a two-run double for the Rockies, who have lost three of four. Sean Burnett (1-1) earned the win with three effective innings of relief, and beleaguered closer Matt Capps pitched the ninth for his seventh save. The Rockies took the early lead when Todd Helton and Brad Hawpe scored on Spilborghs’ first-inning double. Barmes made it, 3-0, with one out in the second when he took an 01 pitch from Ian Snell into the left-field seats. Pittsburgh scored four times on four hits and a walk before the rain came in the bottom of the second. The highlight was a tworun single by Young that scored LaRoche and Jason Jaramillo.

this year.” It’s the main reason the Denver Nuggets have reached the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 1985. While waiting to see whether they’ll be playing the Lakers or Rockets in the next round, the Nuggets spent Saturday working more on defensive drills, precisely

what got them this far. The switch occurred during a tumultuous offseason that started with their fifth straight first-round playoff exit and continued with the departures of defensive stalwarts Marcus Camby and Eduardo Najera and assistant coaches Doug Moe and Mike Dunlap. Before Camby and Najera were out the door, Karl’s righthand man, Tim Grgurich, convinced him that he had to return to his roots and preach defense.

LOS ANGELES

The Western Conference semifinals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets appears to come down to a simple question. Which Lakers team will show up for the decisive Game 7? The one that blew out the undermanned Rockets by 40 points in Game 5 to set up what most everyone thought would be the clinching game? Or the one that quickly fell behind by double digits two nights later and lost by 15?

The Lakers, it seems, will be the ones who determine whether today’s matinee at Staples Center is a feel-good story or a horror show. Bryant The winner of this physical, sometimes-testy series will advance to the conference finals to face the Denver Nuggets, who’ve been resting since eliminating Dallas on Wednesday night. Kobe Bryant admits it’s a mystery why the Lakers have been so wildly inconsistent against a team few expected would reach

the second round, let alone push the top seed in the West to a Game 7. “Yeah, that’s the million-dollar question,” Bryant said Saturday. “There’s a bunch of other teams in the past that went through the same thing for whatever reason. It’s just the emotions of an NBA season, I guess.” Bryant expects to see “the team that won all those games this year. We’re continuing to evolve, too. “I think the second half of that game in Houston, we picked up our defensive intensity and saw kind of what we’re capable of by playing as hard as we did

on the defensive end,” Bryant said. “Hopefully, we’ll get off to a hot start.” After being outmuscled by the now-sidelined Yao Ming in the opener at home, the Lakers dominated Games 2, 3 and 5. Los Angeles twice was embarrassed in Texas by a Rockets team that’s been without Tracy McGrady since February, backup center Dikembe Mutombo since the first round and Yao since he broke a bone in his left foot in Game 3 of this series. Chuck Hayes, a 6-foot-6 forward who’s now the Rockets’ starting center, is a full foot shorter than Yao.

Combined meet a success

good place to stand was hard to come by near the discus competition area Thursday morning at the state track meet at Lakewood’s JeffCo Stadium. It was hard even to see the competitor spinning in the ring during the Class 3A boys event. That’s saying something. Mason Finely is a big boy — so big, he can’t even go out for wrestling because he weighs in at more than the 275-pound upper weight limit. He throws the discus like no one has before, though, and fans flocked to watch him in his last Colorado state track meet. He won the event, of course, and set a new meet record, surpassing the standard he put in place last year. He didn’t manage to set the state record and didn’t close in on the national high school record, either. He already set both of those marks earlier this season. Still, the crowd seemed plenty happy to watch one of the most dominating high school athletes Colorado has produced. And that’s why this year’s state meet was such a success. For the first time, all four of Colorado’s track and field classifications competed at the same meet. It made for some problems. There weren’t enough parking spaces. The meet was expanded from two days to three. The schedule wasn’t always perfect, and some field events dragged on long after all the running events had been completed. It was great for the state’s athletes, though. Athletes from across the state not only got to lock horns with the best in their class but also got to witness the best in the state and some of the best of all time. The expanded crowd also provided a stage like the athletes had never before seen and probably wouldn’t often even see at the college level. It was great for the crowd, too. There always was something worth focusing on — a close race here, a state championship leap there or a oncein-a-lifetime athlete performing out in the discus ring. The whole experiment made for three fantastic days of high school sports. The Colorado High School Activities Association doesn’t get everything right. The statequalification process for Class 4A and 5A is a joke. Rather than allow athletes to race against one another at regionals for the right to go to state, only athletes with one of the top 18 times or distances from across the state for the whole season are admitted. When compared to the Class 2A and 3A system, which allows the top three from each regional meet into state, in addition to all athletes who surpass a certain time or distance, the 4A and 5A system looks even worse. But in bringing together all the different classes to one meet, CHSAA got it right. Oddly, it works for the same reason the 4A and 5A qualification system doesn’t. It brings everyone together and gives everyone a shot — one chance in front of all of Colorado to make a statement and soak in the glory.

Steamboat Ski and Bike Kare Sales Manager Bill Kipper demonstrates a hybrid bicycle, which uses a lithium ion battery to assist riders with pumping the pedals.

Bike boasts a boost

Hybrid ride offers an easy way to get around town

t almost feels as if someone’s pushing, whether the terrain is Lincoln Avenue or a steeper road elsewhere in the city. That’s what the crew at Steamboat Ski and Bike Kare call the “wow” effect, and they say nearly every rider who’s climbed aboard the Giantbuilt Twist STORY BY Freedom hybrid bicycle JOEL had the REICHENBERGER has same reaction. “The first word out of their mouth is ‘wow’,” said Ski and Bike Kare’s Bill Kipper, who pushed to have the bike included in the store’s inventory. The trick — the wow power — to the Twist Freedom is in a lithium ion battery that makes every push of the pedal just a little easier. The shop started carrying the Twist Freedom this spring and so far, the bike has played to rave reviews. “Everyone that comes in, even hardcore bikers, loves it,” Kipper said. In many ways, it looks like just another in the horde of commuter bikes that are all the rage. Ease of use and comfort have been sought-after characteristics among the bikes. They appeal not to someone who wants to crash down Lupine’s on Emerald Mountain, but to someone who wants an easy way to get around town — a way that leaves the car in the garage. “I started looking into it when gas prices were still at $4.50 a gallon,” Kipper said. “At first, they weren’t even available in the U.S.” The bike comes with three settings and seven speeds. The “sport” setting offers the most assistance and quickly turns even a long ride up a hill into a manageable, sweat-free trip. “Normal” falls in the middle, and the “economy” setting offers the least resistance and

the longest battery life. It takes about 5 hours to charge the battery. Kipper said to this point, much of the interest has come from older riders, disabled riders or those hoping to try to get into shape. While it doesn’t require nearly the level of exertion a regular bike does, it’s still far from riding a motorcycle. “A conventional bike puts you at your optimal heart rate 48 percent of the time. A power assist bike keeps you there 93 percent of the time,” Kipper said, citing a 2003 Australian study. “Conventional bikes also put you over your optimal heart rate 48 percent of the time. “It will definitely still get you some exercise.” The lack of a throttle and the fact that the motor helps only when the bike is being pedaled keep it from being a motorcycle and also help separate it from previous models of electric bikes. The Twist Freedom comes in two sizes each in men’s and women’s styles and retails for $1,850. It also has two sister bikes. The Twist Freedom DX ($2,250) features two batteries, doubling the average distance between charges from about 40 miles to nearly 80. The Twist Express ($1,625), meanwhile, more resembles a mountain bike than a traditional commuter and gives riders a little more aggressive stance in the saddle. “There have been electric bikes for a long time, but they usually used lead-acid batteries. There are some real tanks out there. One of the advantages of this is that it weighs less than most electric bikes in the same size range,” Kipper said. It’s not for everyone. Even if it’s lighter than similar products, it still weights in at a hefty 55 pounds. “The top speed is 15 miles per hour,” Kipper said. “That’s when the motor stops helping

The bike has three modes, and a monitor mounted on the handle bars displays the battery life.

and you aren’t pedaling it over 15 unless you’re just an animal. People that will be riding this aren’t animals.” For some, though, it might be just right. “There are people out there who would love to ride, but they really can’t because they have a disability or don’t have the strength to ride,” Kipper said. “If they can get on something like this, they can get back out on the road and get back to exercising. That’s an important part of what this is all about.”

Superintendent Shalee Cunningham said it appears the schools are on track to fill the new spaces. “They are full right now, and we’re looking at turning one of the half-day classrooms into a full-day,” she said. Soda Creek and Strawberry Park elementary schools in Steamboat Springs each have

one half-day and three full-day classrooms available for next school year, with 130 students registered so far. That’s 20 fewer students than last year’s count, but Cunningham said she expects more students to enroll during the final weeks of the year and during summer.

Jones attended Hayden High School, where he wrestled and played football. He graduated in 1997 and has been coaching nearly that long.

A fresh ‘Taste’ Volunteers bring energy to annual South Routt event Margaret Hair

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Toward the end of March, Stagecoach resident Julie Hoff went to a meeting of the South Routt Economic Development Council to talk about the Taste of South Routt. Hoff had planned to express her support for continuing the event and offer a partnership with Colorado Northwestern Community College where she works as the South Routt Center coordinator. She left as the new event cochair for a reinvigorated Taste of South Routt, an event she had attended for years but never had volunteered with. The event’s future came into question at a February meeting of the EDC; Bonfiglio Drug owner David Bonfiglio and the few people who had organized the tasting for years were worn out, and Taste of South Routt needed some new blood to continue. “Someone needed to do it, and David has done a really great job for a lot of years. It’s a really fun thing, and I didn’t want it go away,” Hoff said. Bonfiglio is working with Hoff in an advisory role as an event co-chair this year and said he plans to stay involved in future Tastes. The June 27 festival will have the same setup as in years past: South Routt businesses and organizations are invited to bring food, merchandise or information to share with and sell to the public. Live music, a beer garden and a silent auction complement the vendors. It’s a chance for local businesses to showcase what they do, whether that’s providing a product as a restaurant or a community service as a nonprofit group, Hoff said. See South Routt, page 3D

Vegetable soups

or my father, a meal was never a meal without soup. It didn’t matter if my mother started our lunch or dinner with a wonderful salad or maybe some thin slices of delicious sausage or ham. If there wasn’t also soup on the table, he didn’t feel he had really dined. By this time of year, there would be plenty of fresh produce ready for her soup pot, including yellow and green beans, leeks and the first thinskinned summer squashes. Whatever she picked, she’d combine them with other staples to produce simple yet extraordinary soups. Her strategy is easy for you to follow. She would begin with good olive oil, in which she gently cooked onions, leeks, garlic and sometimes some fennel bulb to start the soup off with a good flavor base. To this, she added pureed tomatoes or tomato juice and water, taking care not to add so much water that it would dilute the vegetables’ natural flavors. (You could use canned chicken vegetable broth instead.) Once the liquid was simmering, she added most of the vegetables, cut to uniformly so they would cook evenly. The soup was done when the vegetables were tender but still had some bite, what the Italians call al dente. If she had any extradelicate vegetables, such as fresh baby peas or pencil-thin asparagus, they went into the pot just a minute or two before the end — along with small pasta tubes that also had been cooked al dente, to give the soup more body. At serving time, my mother added two other important touches — a drizzle of fragrant extra-virgin olive oil and some fresh basil leaves — which made each bowlful explode with fragrant flavor. (She also sometimes added a little grated Parmesan.) Ah! Just thinking about that soup, I can still smell it and taste it right now. For me, it will always capture the essence of spring.

COOKING WITH

Wolfgang Puck

Spring vegetable minestrone soup Serves 6 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling 1 cup chopped yellow onion 1/2 cup fennel bulb, cut into 1/2-inch dice 1/2 cup leeks, white and pale green parts only, halved lengthwise, thoroughly rinsed, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1 tablespoon minced garlic Salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 quarts good quality canned chicken broth or vegetable broth (optional) or water 2 cups tomato juice 1 large sprig fresh basil, plus extra basil leaves for garnish 1 large sprig fresh parsley 1/2 cup yellow summer squash, cut into 1/2-inch dice 1/2 cup zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch dice 1/2 cup celery, cut into 1/2-inch dice 1/2 cup green beans, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1/2 cup yellow wax beans, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1/2 cup) red bell pepper, cut into 1/2inch dice 1/2 cup quartered mushrooms 2/3 cup uncooked ditalini pasta or other small dried pasta tubes Heat the 3 tablespoons olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Add the onion, fennel, leeks and garlic and saute, stirring frequently, until they begin to soften but not yet color, about 5 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Stir in the broth, tomato juice, and parsley and basil sprigs. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Meanwhile, in another pot, bring salted water to a boil over high heat. Stir into the broth-and-juice mixture the squash, zucchini, celery, green beans, wax beans, bell pepper and mushrooms. Simmer until the vegetables are al dente, tender but still slightly firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, add the pasta to the pot of boiling salted water. Cook until al dente following the manufacturer’s suggested cooking time. Drain well and set aside. When the soup vegetables are done, remove the parsley and basil sprigs and stir in the cooked pasta.

Kindergarten is free for South Routt County students Kindergarten continued from 1D This year, the tuition for fullday kindergarten was $250 per month. Cunningham said the price for next year is not yet set. The price will be determined closer to the beginning of school, based on the final number of enrolled students and the number of free and reduced-price students. Soda Creek Elementary School Principal Judy Harris said the three full-day classes at her school have about 18 students each, and the half-day class has 12, but she expects that number to continue to increase. She has spent time during the last week meeting with parents of kindergartners and explaining pick-up and drop-off procedures. The number of kindergarten students at Hayden Valley Elementary School also is looking strong, said Principal Rhonda Sweetser. With 30 students pre-enrolled, Sweetser said next year’s class is almost guaranteed to be bigger than this year’s group of 28. “I’m hoping for good numbers next year,” she said. “To tell you the truth, I would be ecstatic if we had 40 kindergartners. That would be fabulous.” Hayden charges $7 per day for the kindergarten class, a price that Sweetser noted is much lower than even the cost of daycare for children of that age. “It’s a pretty incredible rate,” she said. “And there is an option to apply for free and reduced rate if there is a need.”

Soda Creek Elementary School kindergarten teacher Sharon Clementson passes out books to her students.

The students are divided into two full-day classrooms, and parents also can choose to send the students for a half-day session. The school will hold a visitation day for parents and children May 21, the last day of classes. Parents are urged to register before that day, but everyone is welcome, Sweetser said. About 40 students have registered for kindergarten at South Routt Elementary School, Principal Michael Young said. He added that, 30 of those students are girls, with only 10 boys registered so far, he said. Kindergarten is free for

South Routt County students, and Young said the pre-enrollment figures typically hold up well during summer, with only a few changes as students move in and out of the district. “Typically when we do this pre-enrollment, we don’t add to it over the summer,” he said. The figure also is stable from last year’s class, he said. Parents who want to enroll students in South Routt school should call the elementary school at 638-4558, visit the school in Yampa or call the South Routt School District administrative office in Oak Creek, behind Soroco High School, at 736-2313.

Area to have parking lot, Core Trail access Skatepark continued from 1D Wilson said. “The later parts will be done as phases as funds are raised and needs have grown.” If all the right pieces fall into place, Wilson said, construction can begin in August and would be done before the snow flies. The city’s public works department already is

engaged in a reclamation of the former sewer lagoon. The new skatepark would complement a smaller modular-ramp skatepark at Howelsen Hill. Casson said that 5,000-square-foot park is inadequate because it is too small and does not comfortably fit all skill levels. “You’ve really got to be aggressive to get in there and

have a run,” he said. “We’re a growing community that has a ton of use. Skateboarding is another sport that kids are into.” Access to the park would be accommodated by the Core Trail and a nearby bus stop. Casson also said that Lagoon Lane would be graded and a small dirt and gravel parking lot would be added at the site.

Hugh Mathews candidate for representative 75 YEARS AGO From the Friday, May 18, 1934, edition of The Steamboat Pilot: Hugh L. Mathews, son of Joseph Mathews, of Oak Creek, and prominent in the United Mine Workers and other union labor activities, has announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for representative for Routt and Moffat counties in a letter to Chairman Chester Homer of the Republican country central committee. The letter follows: “My dear Mr. Homer: I wish to announce through you my candidacy for the office of representative for Moffat and

Routt counties, subject to the will of the Republican legislative assembly. “This is not an announcement of ‘having been urged by my friends,’ but rather one of seeking the office in order to serve and help the district, which by long residence, means so much to me. “I believe in Northwest Colorado and if elected to the state Legislature shall do all in my power for the good of my district, as well as my

state. Further, I believe in state rights and the upholding of the constitution of the state. “With kind and personal regards, I remain, faithfully yours, Hugh L. Mathews.”

Steamboat Springs High School senior sneak day There was mystery in the air Tuesday. Every time you saw a group of seniors talking, there were curious and suspicious glances cast toward the lowly underclassmen. When Wednesday arrived, low and behold, the seniors had disappeared, much to the satisfaction of the juniors. The seniors left Wednesday at 7 a.m. They arrived just below the seed house about an

hour later. The first thing to attract attention was a large porcupine near the selected campsite, but with true hunter spirit, Ray Smith ended the poor creature’s mortal days with a few well-placed arrows.

Home demonstration club achievement day Aug. 17 Representatives of the home demonstration clubs in Routt County met with Miss Esther Elliott at the courthouse May 11 for the purpose of discussing plans for the club work during the coming months and to make arrangements for the annual achievement day. There also was a discussion about having a camp this summer.

Parks and rec director calls Jones ‘invaluable’ to Hayden Jones continued from 1D He attributes his drive to help children succeed to the coaches who helped him succeed. “When I first started doing sports, I wasn’t very good,” Jones said. “My freshman year, I was defeated. I was 0 and 22. And my senior year, I won state. People spent time with me. … So I guess I’m giving back.” He remembers getting help from Monty Fredrickson’s family in Craig, among many others. He’s worked with Chris Carson, Roger Muhme, Mike Williams, and Ty and Todd Camilletti. And Jones said he learned a lot from coaching alongside his

father, Mike Jones. What’s striking, Parks and Recreation Director Kathy Hockett said, is that Jones has donated time largely for other people’s children. Amy Williams agreed. “You start with your kids,” Williams said. “You track through, and when they leave, you leave. Chad started — since he started coaching not only has he gotten married and had a couple kids — he started when he got out of high school.” Jones said coaching takes some evenings and Saturdays from his children. He and Amanda Dowling have 5-year-old Piperjo and 2-year-old Saben.

“It’s actually harder for me now that I have kids,” Jones said. “Not that it’s hard, but you want to spend time with them.” His daughter wrestled for the first time this past season. The recent preschool graduate said she liked it. And, she said, she defeated a boy. “He was screaming,” Piperjo said. How did it make her feel? “Happy!” she hollered with a hop. Saben said he wants to wrestle and play football when he’s old enough. For now, he’s content to play with a fishing rod in the front yard. Jones and his fellow coaches have seen some success, too.

Football teams he and Mike Williams coached were undefeated in the Craig league three years running, Jones said. He proves that success and fun aren’t mutually exclusive, Amy Williams said. The children respond to Jones, she said, calling him “a gem.” “He is passionate about it,” Williams said. “It does make it meaningful. And, no, it’s not the Super Bowl, but it’s important.” Hockett said she was grateful for the contributions of Jones and other volunteers. “He’s one of many that’s just invaluable to our community,” she said. “We appreciate them. They need to know that.”

Taste of South Routt proceeds help fund future events South Routt continued from 1D

Renewed energy Taste of South Routt started 12 years ago by the then-owners of The Colorado Bar & Grill and Chelsea’s as a forum to highlight local restaurants. When those owners sold their businesses, Bonfiglio, who was EDC president at the time, took charge of festival planning, he said. “It was either we took it on or it died, and we thought it was worth it to keep it going,” he said. Since then, the Taste of South Routt has grown into a sort of community cookout, attracting non-restaurant businesses and local organizations. Throughout the years, the months of logistical planning

If you go The Taste of South Routt is scheduled for noon to 6 p.m. June 27 at Decker Park in Oak Creek. Vendor applications are due May 31 and are available at Bonfiglio Drug in Oak Creek and Montgomery’s General Merchandise in Yampa. Event organizers are looking for volunteers to help with setting up, taking tickets and other jobs on the day of the event. For more information or to volunteer, call event co-chair Julie Hoff at 736-2323.

needed to organize the event started to weigh on Bonfiglio and the four or so people on his team, including EDC secretary Karen Tussey. “It is exhausting,” Tussey said about helping plan the event for four years. “It’s a great day and full of fun and people and

everything, but, oh my gosh, it’s exhausting when it’s just a few of us.” Hoff said she has a group of about 10 people who have “stepped up and volunteered to do the nitty-gritty dirt part.” The entertainment is scheduled, and applications are ready for interested vendors. Those fresh faces could keep the festival on track for the next 10 years, Bonfiglio said. “The new energy of the new volunteers who are taking a piece of the puzzle on their own and kind of running with it is going to allow it to be more vibrant and add energy that was hard for the old guard to maintain,” he said.

around food, music and friends; it serves two main purposes, Bonfiglio said. “One, it’s a great venue for exposure for local businesses to the public. But I would say equally important, it is a giveback by the businesses to the community as a thank you from year-round businesses for keeping us in business,” he said. Admission for Taste of South Routt is $1 at the gate and is free for children younger than 12. Gate proceeds go to the EDC to fund a South Routt business directory and a scholarship for a graduating Soroco High School senior. Beer proceeds help fund future events. — To reach Margaret Hair, call 871-4204 or e-mail mhair@steamboatpilot.com.

Sunday, May 17, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Andrea Corr, 35; Jordan Knight, 39; Trent Reznor, 44; Enya, 48 Happy Birthday: Troubles can be resolved if you work as a team member. Your suggestions will be well received and the chance to initiate reforms will help you turn things around in your life. You will instinctively know what’s required to bring order out of bedlam. A chance to secure your assets and help them grow will be the result of an opportunity offered. Your numbers are 5, 12, 15, 27, 30, 38, 43 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’ll be put in a bartering position. Do not sell yourself or your services short. A secret about your past may be disclosed. A desire to follow your heart and a dream will be difﬁcult to deny. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t ask for or grant favors. You will do much better taking care of our own projects and needs rather than sharing duties with someone who isn’t as likely to put in an equal effort. Refrain from overspending or donating to something you know little about. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you’ve done the work, take the credit. Holding back the way you feel may allow you to avoid turmoil but it won’t eliminate the added stress you feel. Best to get things out in the open and let the facts speak in your favor. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Participate in something that will allow you to delve into different cultures or activities. You need to open up to what’s available so you can pick and choose. Don’t give in to someone asking for a handout. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Love is in the air and, with a little planning, you can have an eventful day that helps you boost your personal life. Don’t be fooled into thinking that a product being offered can transform you into something you are not. ★★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Get out and socialize. You will gain information that will help you make some decisions about your lifestyle and your future. Do a little work around home. Comfort, entertainment and efﬁciency should all be addressed.★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Partner with someone who has something to offer. Don’t let an expense or debt cause you to miss out on something good. An affectionate gesture will be repaid. A commitment from the heart will make you feel more secure. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Think fast if you intend to ﬁx a mounting personal problem. Observe what’s really wrong and show your intent to do what you can to change things. With change will come greater understanding and freedom. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be backed up against a wall if you promise something unreasonable. Big talk may get you what you want initially but, in the end, someone will have to pay the price and it’s likely to be you. ★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Plan a relaxing time with someone you enjoy being with. Put your differences aside and refuse to discuss sensitive issues. You don’t have to overspend to keep up with the neighbors or to impress someone you meet. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may have issues with a neighbor, friend or relative if you speak out or push your opinions on others. Instead, take a back seat and see where everyone else stands. Being stubborn isn’t worth the trouble it will bring. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Compromise if you want to get the help you require to get an idea off the ground. You can make some interesting assessments based on past experience that will help you make the right choice now. ★★★ Birthday Baby: You are imaginative and original. You are adaptable, smart and articulate and know how to position yourself for success.
