Meandering moose

hat lazy days of summer? I think I might be able to take advantage of one or two before the snow flies, but first I have to “summer-ize” myself, the yard, the dog and my bike. I need to buy more sunscreen, find my swim goggles, fix my summer sandals and do something about the brown spots in the yard. My to-do list is long, and my days are a flurry of hurryscurry activities. My back hurts and my neck is locked up from hauling flowerpots, hoses and lawn furniture out of a small, can’tstand-up-in-it crawl space. Once the lawn furniture is out, it has to be hosed and wiped down before I can finally flop down in it. Let the scrubbing begin! Closets must be changed over from winter to summer. This requires more hauling and the stacking and reorganizing of plastic totes. Even though I weigh the same, shorts that fit last year seem to have shrunk. My body parts appear to be spreading in new directions, most notably down and out. Let the exercise begin! Yard work. I have a love/ hate relationship with dandelions, aka the Rocky Mountain State flower. They are sort of pretty and the occasional bright spot of yellow breaks up the monotony of green

LIFE IN THE ’BOAT

Joanne Palmer grass, but left unchecked, dandelions can keep spreading and growing until they take over the yard. Let the dandelion-digging begin! The dog. Stinky, yucky, gross matters are on the ground, and the dog must roll in every single one of them before she enters the house. Sometimes it’s hard to recognize her because of all the leaves and twigs sticking to her fur — she often looks more like a plant than a dog. Let the dog baths begin! Bike tune-up. Is it wrong to accessorize my bike just for a pie? I found myself contemplating this question while discussing a tune-up for my ancient mountain bike. I want to use my bike more and my car less. To do that I had to eliminate my two excuses for not riding my bike: bike shorts and bike discomfort. I will not shrink-wrap my body in shorts that cut off my circulation, but I found a baggy pair that balloon nicely over key body parts. Now all I needed were new handlebars, a spongy gel seat and a rack to carry things on.

“This is the Sweet Pea basket,” the nice bike shop man said. “It’s perfect for picking up your weekly produce.” “It looks like just the right size for a pie, too,” I responded with a smile. Who cares if the zucchini falls out? Transporting and protecting the pie is all that matters, and if I ride my bike to and from Sweet Pea, all pie calories will vanish. Let stimulating the local economy begin! Entertaining. During summer, entertaining moves outside, which means the deck and patio have to be hosed off, a solution found for the ants who have invaded the patio, the patio table must be set up and the propane must be refilled for the barbecue grill. Let scrubbing the grill begin! Bird feeders. Who gave all the birds in Routt County the GPS coordinates to my backyard? It looks like a scene from an Alfred Hitchcock movie out there, and I’m going broke buying birdseed and hummingbird nectar. I have to confess, I tried to cheap out and dilute the nectar a tiny bit, but the little flirting fairies stopped coming immediately. Let filling the bird feeders begin! No wonder summer naps are so popular. Let finding the hammock begin!

Urban renewal authority projects will go to bid next year Brandon Gee

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

A zoning change request for the proposed Steamboat Highlands project on Burgess Creek Road proved divisive again, but this time developers were on the right side of a 4-3 vote. The Steamboat Springs City Council overturned on Tuesday the city Planning Commission’s denial last month of the requested zoning map amendment, which will change a 1.4-acre parcel’s zoning from

RE-1, a low-density residential designation that allows only one unit per lot, to G-1, the city’s second-highest-density resort area designation. A successful zoning map amendment is a necessary precursor for development plans that call for a 328,610-squarefoot project 108 feet tall on the subject parcel and a neighboring lot already zoned G-1. The zoning change still must be adopted by an ordinance to take effect. Supporters and opponents of the zoning change packed Centennial Hall for the lengthy hearing and spoke during the

public comment period. Many were residents of the Burgess Creek Road neighborhood who said the zoning change would exacerbate dangers that already exist on the steep, winding and narrow road. “Your primary issue, your primary concern, should be the health and safety of this community,” said attorney Ron Smith, representing the Bronze Tree Condominiums. “And you’re ignoring that if you approve this.” Although no council mem-

The basement at the Artists’ Gallery of Steamboat has been mostly stripped of its remnants from the building’s days as a newspaper office, but mixed media artist Maggie Smith still manages to find things she can use. In her most recent work, Smith used old advertising plates and architectural plans to make collographs, monotypes and monoprints. The collection

opens with a reception from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday at Artists’ Gallery. Paintings by Susan Corser and fabric art by Wendy Kowynia also are featured in the show, titled “Light Translations.” For one series of prints, Smith used 1970s architectural blueprints as a base for idyllic scenes, creating a contrast with undeveloped landscapes. Most of Smith’s plates go through multiple printing runs as a way to use extra ink and create variations of similar scenes, she said. Lifting up the printing press after each run often carries an element of surprise, she said. “Each one takes on a life of its own in terms of what its needs are and where you’re going to go with it,” she said.

Kowynia thought about the mystery of nature. She looked to “Red Gold,” a documentary about threatened salmon habitats, to create a through-the-water visual effect that blurs patches of red with green and copper colors. Kowynia turned to a favorite Cormac McCarthy quote from “The Road” — “all things were older than man and they Wendy Kowynia When she was imagining the hummed of mystery” — for the five-panel centerpiece of her rest. “I think a lot of us who live part of “Light Translations,” fabric artist and weaver Wendy See Artists, page 19

“It will be the first time since I’ve worked here that I’ll have a green field out my window,” Superintendent Shalee Cunningham said about the restoration. “So I’m very much looking forward to it.” Denney said the district won’t charge the public for nonorganized events, but groups can reserve the field for a rental fee. And the schools could use the fields, as well, he said. An effort to fund and build a new school began in fall 2005, under then-Superintendent Donna Howell.

Rick Denney, facilities director for the Steamboat Springs School District, said crews could sod the field next to the school district office as soon as June 10, weather permitting. “If we get some big gulley washers, it could really slow us down,” he said. After the district is able to put grass on the field, it will be roped off for two weeks to allow the sod to take hold, Denney said. After that, he said, the promise made to the public to restore the field to a multi-use park will be fulfilled. The site served for more than one year as home to the temporary school dubbed Camp Soda Creek.

COMMENTARY

Oak Creek needs its own police force

o better serve and protect its residents, the Oak Creek Town Board should heed the advice of its community focus group and re-establish the town’s police department. It appears the town is heading in that direction, if slowly. Oak Creek town offiAT ISSUE cials and their counOak Creek terparts in Yampa are police issues discussing a shared code enforcement officer position. The code OUR VIEW Town needs to enforcement officer would be available to fund its own respond to many of police the typical calls for department for service in South Routt, the safety and from dogs off leash to other routine code vioprotection of lations. Although such its residents. a position would help fill some of the gaps in the law enforcement coverage being provided to Oak Creek by the Routt County Sheriff’s Office, it doesn’t go far enough. The Sheriff’s Office has provided the only law enforcement coverage in Oak Creek since Chief Russ Caterinicchio,

Sgt. Erik Foster and code enforcement officer Tony VanDeventer resigned in September amid tension and controversy within the community. Recently, Sheriff Gary Wall told the town his office would provide more substantial law enforcement coverage in Oak Creek, but at a cost of $300,000 a year. The town has only $120,000 budgeted for a police department. Provided Wall’s cost estimates were reasonable, we can’t blame his stance. Oak Creek has struggled with providing its own consistent police force for at least the past decade, so why would Wall want more of his deputies spending time responding to calls in an incorporated town that can’t seem to figure out what it wants from a policing standpoint? Since 17-year Chief Reggie Mayes left the Oak Creek Police Department in 1999, the town has cycled through six full-time chiefs, a couple of interim chiefs and more than a half-dozen officers. Town residents often express conflicting views on how they want to see the law enforced in Oak Creek, and the result is constant turnover in the police department.

The absence of a stable police force hurts the town and its residents, who should expect that their health and safety is a top priority of town government. For too long it hasn’t been, but there are signs that town officials could be headed on the right track. Some current Town Board members and a community police focus group have acknowledged that a hometown police force is preferable for Oak Creek, and we agree. Now it’s up to the Town Board to make it happen. Oak Creek also has applied for a federal law enforcement grant that would give funding for three law enforcement positions for three years, provided the town could pay for a fourth year of salaries on its own. The outcome of the grant should not influence the Town Board’s commitment to aggressively rebuilding Oak Creek’s police force, which the town funded in previous years through its general operating fund. It’s high time those elected representatives come up with a successful plan for staffing and maintaining a police department that will protect and serve the residents of Oak Creek.

The opinion of Steamboat Today is expressed only in the space above.

Unfortunately, I can’t please all the people all the time. However, I think in order to provide some context for your criticism, you should acknowledge some of my many accomplishments.

fest significant benefits for my constituents, although you might not perceive them in the same light. For instance, because you are an attorney, you probably don’t care that I was able to save $15 million for tourism marketing. We know every tax dollar we spend returns $200 to the private sector. This translates into jobs and food on the table for the hard-working families of my district. Because you’re not a senior citizen, you probably don’t see it as a positive that I was able to save $2 million that was scheduled to be cut from important seniors’ programs such as meals on

Repugnant report Dear Congressman Salazar, On Memorial Day, a special combined meeting of American Legion Post 44 and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4264 was held in Steamboat Springs. A motion was made, seconded and passed unanimously that we ask you to seek the resignation, removal or impeachment of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. The Steamboat Springs posts seek this action in response to the Department of Homeland Security report released April 7, 2009.

Vaccinate infants National Infant Immunization Week (April 25 to May 2) was a great success and

a reminder that you can shield your children from vaccine-preventable diseases. About 1 million kids in the U.S. are not fully immunized by age 2. Our goal is that every child will be immunized “on time, every time” by age 2. Don’t wait until a child goes to school to catch up on vaccinations — you would be shocked to know how vulnerable your infant or baby is without the recommended immunizations. Older brothers and sisters, relatives or even a trip to the grocery store can expose an infant to disease. By boosting babies’ immune systems through vaccination, they are protected from what used to be common childhood diseases. Family physicians play a prominent role in disease prevention, and we urge you to continue immunizing your child. There are 14 diseases you can protect your child against by immunizing them on time before they turn 2. We have seen a great reduction in many diseases, and we want to continue that trend.

I believe in all of the things you cited in your article — smaller government, less taxes and personal responsibility. But obviously we differ on our interpretation of the details. I know you would prefer someone in my seat who is more like you; someone who would cast all their votes the way you would. But I’m not you. For nine years I have watched the unsuccessful efforts of intractable ideologues on both sides of the aisle. I prefer to be an effective legislator. My constituents deserve no less.

and Recruitment.” The members of the posts find it most upsetting that the report focuses on unsubstantiated statements that veterans and returning veterans have the potential to emerge as terrorist groups. Between our organization, we have 192 members or former members of the armed forces of the United States. More than 1,700 veterans live in Routt County. Many of us have sons, daughters, brothers, sisters and close friends who are serving or have served. We are proud of our service and the service of those we know. We are appalled that the secretary of Homeland Security sees veterans as citizens not to be honored for their service, but to be treated as threats. Many of us are old enough to remember how this country treated war fighters returning from Vietnam. We will never forget. Now, one of our highest public officials, a person presumably in direct line of succession to the office of president, has given voice to a mean-spirited and unfounded negative view of the men and women who are now serving or who have served in the armed forces. It is repugnant to us that she is responsible for the security of the homeland all of us have sworn to — and many of us have fought — to defend.

Leaders discuss Hayden concerns Commissioners address residents’ questions about fairgrounds, cuts, gravel Blythe Terrell

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

HAYDEN

Routt County commissioners spent much of their time Tuesday evening dispelling rumors about the fairgrounds, budget cuts and gravel pits. About 10 people attended the Board of Commissioners chat Tuesday night at Hayden Town Hall. Several folks sprinkled commissioners Diane Mitsch Bush, Doug Monger and Nancy Stahoviak with concerns about events at the Routt County Fairgrounds. The county requires insurance for fairground events, and insurance costs money. Resident Tammie Delaney asked whether fair and county officials could ask other counties how they insure events such as horseback riding clinics. “There is tremendous potential in whatever can be done to really foster and encourage and enable these events to occur,” Delaney said. Fair Manager Jill Delay noted that one company specifically insures equestrian events at a lower rate. For events such as reunions or weddings, a person often can get event coverage through his or her homeowners’ insurance. That typically costs as much as $25, Delay said. She explained that insurance was necessary, and Stahoviak said the county’s attorney recommended that the county require it. “What the county’s trying to do and trying to communicate, they’re trying to limit their risk and their liability,” Delay said. Commissioners also made it clear that they weren’t planning to slash the Cooperative Extension Office. Monger explained that the county hasn’t done layoffs but has cut pay and created a furlough program. That rumor might have come from a discussion of cuts at Colorado State University, which runs the office, Mitsch Bush said.

“CSU is looking to restructure the Extension (office), and part of that is what they’re calling regionalization,” she said. That could result in some counties sharing extension agents. Resident Don Hayes asked commissioners about a sometimes hot-button issue. “What’s you guys’ official stance on gravel pits, current or prospective?” he asked. Any pits would go through the county’s special-use permit process, Mitsch Bush said. If the builder of a pit meets requirements and mitigates potential impacts, commissioners said, they would approve it. That wasn’t what Hayes had heard. “As far as the rumors, you guys have stated no more pits in Routt County,” Hayes said. The commissioners assured him that wasn’t the case. But companies that want to add or expand pits must take their neighbors’ issues into consideration. “We can put conditions on those permits that mitigate those concerns,” Stahoviak said. “And in the 16 years I’ve been a commissioner, we’ve only denied one gravel pit,” which was in Hayden. Monger provided a final reminder about the county’s reaction to residents’ concerns. At last year’s chat, the room was loaded with residents concerned about the slide on Routt County Road 76, the Cog Road. The county has put out requests for proposals on fixes for C.R. 76 and the Elkhead slide on Routt County Road 86. The state Department of Local Affairs gave the county $582,000 for the projects, and the county will pay for the rest, Monger said. Commissioners signed the contract with DOLA on Tuesday, Monger said. The county expects work to start in August. “Those projects are continuing to move forward despite our budget shortfalls,” Monger said.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

La Comisión de Planeamiento de Steamboat Springs dio una enérgica bendición el jueves por la noche a un paquete de enmiendas que allanarán el camino al desarrollo de una base del área de esquiar de Steamboat para ser más alta y densa. Los comisionados votaron, 6-1, para aprobar los estándares dimensionales que incrementarán a la altura más alta permi-

tida en el área de la base de 67 pies a 105 pies. En práctica, las construcciones de esa altura ya han sido construidas o aprobadas en la base del área a través del proceso de desarrollo de la unidad de planeamiento de la ciudad (PUD por sus siglas en inglés). A través del proceso PUD, la ciudad negocia los beneficios públicos como viviendas de bajo costo y prácticas de construcción más ecologistas en cambio por el incremento de la altura y otras peticiones de cambio en el código.

Hubo algo de preocupación dentro del público y los profesionales de diseño acerca del método de cómo la altura sería medida, pero no lo necesario

para prevalecer los votos. El comisionado Rich Levy votó en contra de los cambios porque él “no estaba convencido que 105 pies es lo que la comunidad quiere ver.” Los comisionados también aprobaron la zona de construcción en 12 parcelas del área de la base en un voto de 6-1. Diez de las parcelas están localizadas entre Ski Time Square Drive y Burgess Creek Road.

Buy Local. Be Green.

| 13

Keep purchases local to reduce your carbon footprint What do the Steamboat Springs post office, your car and a U.S. dollar bill have in common? Besides the fact that many Steamboat Springs residents use these items daily, all three symbolize reasons that buying products locally helps the environment and the Steamboat Springs community. The concept of “Buy Local. Be Green.” can be complex when it comes to purchasing materials. A simple example to determine “Which product is greener?” would be to compare products such as recycled barn wood from the East Coast that is shipped to Colorado with wood that is sold here in town. While both are good “green” options, buying a product locally minimizes the cost, waste and time it takes to ship products into the valley. In cases such as this, it can be tricky but it’s greener to buy locally. Here’s how buying locally reduces a customer’s carbon footprint: • By choosing to purchase from a local store rather than shopping from a Web site or catalog, customers save on postage, decrease the amount of wasteful packing materials used during shipment and save valuable time. • Shopping locally rather than going out of town saves gasoline, car maintenance is reduced and casual spending (on food, etc.) is limited, not to mention avoiding traffic. • Buying local saves you money and helps the environment! The economic benefits of

buying local are simple: it cuts out the middleman, puts more money into the local economy and reduces transportation costs and environment-destroying, energy-wasting long hauls. Steamboat is home to a local company that is as green as its name implies. The Steve Green Co., in the Copper Ridge Business Park, is a triple threat when it comes to being sustainable and green. Not only is “green” in the company’s name and green products are what it sells, the company is making an effort to reduce the carbon footprint of its business — one customer at a time. Known regionally for the professional, commercial-grade, industrialstrength cleaning supplies at bulk prices and the best, most durable cleaning equipment available in today’s marketplace, the Steve Green Co. lives by the notion, “greener is better.” “One of our company’s biggest advertising tools is driving the recognizable fleet of Steve Green Co. delivery trucks around town,” says Michael David, employee of the Steve Green Co.. “With our Steve Green Co. delivery truck fleet, we are able to keep 100 cars from having to come visit us, which helps us provide a service to our clients and is better for the environment.” “Being green and having green products has been what our business has been about since Day 1,” notes Jim Barker, owner of the Steve Green Co.. “Over the years there have not been many changes to our company and our daily operations. The biggest changes that have occurred have been the green products available on the market and how we can

provide them to our customers.” Barker also notes that providing products that are environmentally sensitive as well as having a wide variety to choose from is important to the philosophy of the Steve Green Co.. “We are not quite the Costco of Routt County but we are really close,” David notes. “We sell recycled paper products, recycled trash can liners, Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day products and our own line of green chemicals that are sold by the gallon. These products are green, high-quality, and our pricing is competitive.” Rob Robbins, owner of local company A.N.R. Cleaning Services has been a fan of the Steve Green Co. for years. “I have done business with the Steve Green Co. for over four years now,” Robbins said. “I am in here weekly because of the customer service and the

��

product lines they offer. I can always count on service with a smile when I do business with the Steve Green Co.” Doing a little local research goes a long way when shopping in Steamboat Springs. Our business community works hard to carry a variety of items, some you know about and some you may not be familiar with. Some local companies might be willing to stock specialty items upon request, make the effort to be green by keeping your dollars locally. Although each person may have his or her own reason to purchase here in town, being green and thinking sustainably is just one more reason to “Buy Local.” Whether it is the relationship you are building, the carbon footprint you leave or the tax dollars that help support strong community amenities; buying locally is the smartest way to go.

Reasons to shop local Your carbon footprint is reduced when you shop locally. ● It’s less harmful to our environment to ship in quantity to a local store than to ship individually to you through the Internet or catalog shopping. ● Eco-friendly and organic items are becoming more readily available locally ●

Buy Local products including a tote bag, stamp, stainless steel water bottle, bumper sticker and notepads are now available through the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association. Call Amy Minotto for more details at 875-7004.

No Boys and Girls Club for Oak Creek Zach Fridell

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

OAK CREEK

The town of Oak Creek raised $2,200 toward the creation of a new Boys and Girls Club branch in town, under the guidance of former Police Chief Russ Caterinicchio. That amount, however, didn’t come close to the $40,000 required to start a club, and the town is now in the process of repaying the money to all 13 donors. The process to create a club is long and often difficult, said Dana Duran, executive director of the Boys and Girls Club of Craig. The club in Oak Creek was to be an extension of the Craig club, much like the club opening in Steamboat Springs this weekend. The club in Steamboat has no relation to the aborted club in Oak Creek and was created independently of the Oak

Creek process. Duran said she hadn’t heard any news from Caterinicchio, about fundraising efforts or progress toward an Oak Creek branch, for about a year. “We have talked to a number of communities over the years. Some people get really excited about it and take the initiative right away, and some people put it away in their bag,” she said. Caterinicchio and Sgt. Erik Foster resigned from the Oak Creek Police Department in September 2008, along with the town’s community service officer. Officer Eileen Rossi worked her last shift a month later. The Boys and Girls Club of America suggests that clubs have a year’s worth of operating expense in the bank before the club starts, Duran said.

based on the small number of individual donations. “These little personal donations we received weren’t anywhere near the money it would take for the Boys and Girls Club to take us seriously and put a club here,” she said. Town Treasurer Sandy Jacobs will be returning all the donations, she wrote in an e-mail. The Town Board had said that any donations that could not be returned to the donors would be remitted to the state, but Halterman said none of the donations were anonymous and that the town has a record of the contributions, so the town should be able to return the money.

State Sen. Al White, RHayden, may not have voted for House Bill 1094, but he pledged to do his best to obey it. “I promise I’m going to give up that text messaging now that it’s illegal,” joked White, not an avid text-messager, during a legislative update he provided to the Steamboat Springs Rotary Club on Tuesday. White gave his opinions about several high-profile bills from this year’s legislative session and gave an ominous outlook for next year, when he said budget cuts could be even tougher as the state continues to deal with declining revenues.

He was encouraged by local Rotarian Paula Cooper Black to reconsider his position if a repeal surfaces again. “I think we’ll see it again,” White said. “I don’t know what the ultimate outcome will be. These things tend to go round and round until they pass, so be on the lookout for it again.” White also defended his vote on the FASTER legislation that increased vehicle registration fees to raise $250 million annually for transportation projects statewide. White was the only Republican in either chamber of the state Legislature to vote for FASTER. White said transportation revenues were in crisis and that at the end of the day, FASTER was the only solution left on the table.

The law bans all drivers from sending text messages, and drivers 18 years old and younger will not be allowed to talk on their cell phones, White either. “Driving requires our full attention,” Ritter said in a statement. “Drivers should not be texting while behind the wheel. And drivers younger than 18 ought to be focusing on the road, not their cell phone.” White opposed the bill, believing the use of cell phones while driving should be “an issue of personal responsibility rather than legislative mandate.” The cell phone law was just one of many White discussed with Rotarians. He also discussed a repeal of the death penalty that narrowly failed in the final hours of this year’s legislative session. The proposed legislation would

A cabin at the Elk River Guest Ranch, built in the early 1900s, burned down Tuesday morning. The cabin was unoccupied, and nobody was injured. Ranch owner Bill Hinder said he noticed the cabin full of smoke early Tuesday morning. “The building was full of smoke, and I attempted to go in, but it was just a wall of smoke,” he said. The Elk River Guest Ranch is in North Routt County, at 29840 Routt County Road 64, also known as Seedhouse Road. North Routt Fire Protection District and Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue responded to the call and contained the fire after

about three hours, North Routt Fire Protection Chief Bob Reilley said. Routt County Sheriff’s Office deputies also responded, and Routt County Emergency Management provided an air compressor to refill the firefighter’s air tanks, Reilley said. Ten responders from North Routt and five responders from Steamboat Springs responded to the call. Crews took about 5 1/2 hours to completely extinguish the fire. Reilley said the fire was especially difficult to put out because renovations had created places where the fire could not be easily reached. “It was a very stubborn fire because of the building construction more than anything else. We had the interior walls

inside of a wall cabin, creating hidden spaces that were holding fire on us,” he said. Reilley said he does not know the cause of the fire but that he will be working with Steamboat Springs fire marshals and the insurance company to determine the source. Hinder said the cabin likely was built between 1902 and 1912 but was renovated in the 1940s. The kitchen area of the stove contained an electric stove and other electrical equipment, but Hinder said he did not know what caused the fire. Hinder complimented the fire responders and said they did an “excellent job.” The fire did not spread to any other areas of the ranch, and no other buildings were threatened.

equity in the property. Friends helped him add a second story to the building. He converted one garage to a family room he dubbed “The Turtle Lounge,” and built a new garage on the other end of the house. He also added a large deck along the river where he installed his hot tub. There were no hot tub retailers in Steamboat in 1973, Bergman said, so he improvised. He got his hands on a round section of concrete sewer pipe, installed it in a hole in the deck and lined the rim with attractive ceramic tiles. Bergman was visibly sad to see the demolition of the home in which he had lived for three decades. “If people knew how much I spent on this. If people knew how much of me I put into this place,” he said.

Psychiatrist: Breaking down stigma can save Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association, said about 90 percent of suicides are by people who are clinically depressed, and diagnosed either before or after their suicide. That depression is caused by chemical imbalances in the brain, she said. By recognizing that it’s a medical problem, and not something to be ashamed of, more people may seek help, she said. “It’s important to look at it that way. It’s a physical problem, not a mental weakness,” she said. Psychiatrist Kimberly Nordstrom said breaking down the stigma can save lives. “Unfortunately there is such

a stigma that oftentimes people don’t get to me. They get worse and worse, they don’t tell you about it, and sometimes that leads to death,” she said. “It’s my responsibility to create an environment where people can talk about it.” Survivors — people whose loved ones or friends committed suicide — are also at risk for depression. To get out of the cycle of depression, Gordon advised that there are five important things that help: getting eight hours of sleep each night, getting sunlight, exercise, eating right and limiting substances — mostly alcohol and drugs. Those chemicals numb the grief, and thus slow the griev-

ing process, social worker Katy Thiel said. But moving beyond a death of a loved one takes a lot more time and effort than just those steps, survivors added. Freeman, whose wife died by suicide in December 2006, said the basic steps for recovering from a loss are understandable, but not easy. “It’s not that complex, it’s just very hard to do,” he said. REPS holds a depression and suicide prevention group meeting on the first and third Wednesday of every month, including at 6:30 p.m. today in Yampa Valley Medical Center’s Conference Room 2.

Council decided to stick with same firms Zoning continued from 3 bers disagreed about unsafe conditions on Burgess Creek Road, some didn’t think those conditions should factor into a zoning decision. And others noted that disadvantages of the rezone are outweighed by advantages such as the possibility of nightly rentals and pedestrian improvements on the site. “Density equals vitality,” Councilman Scott Myller said. In its 4-3 vote last month, Planning Commission found

that the requested zoning change was not compatible with surrounding development and had disadvantages that outweighed its advantages. On Tuesday, council members Myller, Cari Hermacinski, Walter Magill and President Loui Antonucci voted in favor of the zoning map amendment. Council members Meg Bentley, Steve Ivancie and Jon Quinn voted against it. Also Tuesday, council members directed that projects in the city’s urban renewal author-

ity at the base of Steamboat Ski Area be put out to bid beginning next year. Design firm Wenk Associates and general contractors Duckels Construction have been with the URA since its first projects in 2007. Council members decided to stick with the firms for this year’s projects because Redevelopment Coordinator Joe Kracum and Deputy City Manager Wendy DuBord said conducting a bid process would delay this summer’s projects.

Stocks extend gains to 4th day; banks slide NEW YORK

Investors slowed their move into the market from a sprint to a walk. Stocks tacked on modest gains Tuesday to extend a rally

to a fourth day after a strong increase in pending home sales, the latest encouraging signal for the troubled housing market. The Dow Jones industrial average briefly pushed into the black for 2009 but ended 35.5 points below the break-even

mark. In March, the blue chips were down more than 2,200 points, or 25.4 percent, for the year. A report showing April recorded the biggest jump in pending home sales in nearly eight years gave the market fresh fuel to push higher. But a

slump in financial shares kept overall buying in check as several big banks said they would sell more stock to repay federal bailout money. The modest moves followed huge gains Monday, when indicators jumped more than 2 percent on positive signs for

manufacturing and other good economic signals. William Rutherford, president of Rutherford Investment Management LLC in Portland, Ore., worries that even with promising economic data the three-month rally in stocks might be overdone.

Majority of presentation on budget trouble White continued from 15 The majority of White’s presentation, however, was focused on the state’s budgetary troubles and the painful cuts declining revenues required during this legislative session. White, a member of the Legislature’s Joint Budget

Committee, joked that if he had failed to anger anyone during the legislative session, then they weren’t paying attention. White also joked that if he didn’t upset anyone this year, he was sure to next year. White thinks state revenues will not have rebounded enough to

prevent additional “ugly, bad cuts or transfers.” He compared the state’s fiscal crisis to a Shakespearean drama building toward a tragic end. “In the third act, Hamlet takes it in the gizzard,” White said. “I’m afraid that’s what we’re faced with.”

When most people think of law enforcement “reeling them in,” something other than flies and poles comes to mind. But with the annual Kids and Cops Fishing Day on Thursday, members of the Moffat County Sheriff’s Office, Colorado State Patrol and Craig Police Department will be after a different kind of catch. Moffat County Sheriff Tim

Jantz, who founded the annual fishing day, said the day of fishing offers cops a chance to connect with area kids in a positive way. “We try to get the kids into other activities to get them away from drugs or getting into trouble,” Jantz said. “I know that, years ago, someone turned me on to fishing, so I want to pass that on to kids. I want to give them that opportunity.” Jantz has been involved with the fishing day since its humble beginnings. “I started this when we moved

YVEA election process Nine people constitute the Yampa Valley Electric Association Board of Directors, with three seats up for election each year at the utility’s annual meeting. This year’s annual meeting is June 20 in Hayden. Mail-in ballots are being sent to association members this week, so it is not necessary to attend the meeting to vote. Ballots must be signed and returned by the association member named on the account, or they will be invalidated. Ballots are due by 5 p.m. June 19 at the YVEA office on 10th Street in Steamboat Springs. The seats up for election this year are in District 1, which covers the area served in Wyoming and parts of northern Moffat and Routt counties, District 8 in Steamboat Springs and District 9 in South Routt.

power our town ourselves,” Holland said last month. McGill has questioned the feasibility of such ambitions and noted that YVEA already exceeds a state mandate for the amount of electricity it must purchase from renewable sources. “YVEA is a leader in renewable energy,” he wrote, “not a laggard.”

nity involvement.” Carson said that’s something that has been lacking in YVEA board elections, which historically have very low turnout among association members. Megan Moore-Kemp is challenging incumbent Charles Perry for the District 9 seat representing South Routt County. Moore-Kemp’s focus is energy efficiency. Perry has suggested that embracing Moore-Kemp’s vision would require abandoning economic stability. “To our increasing numbers of consumers affected by fixed incomes and disappearing 401(k)s, YVEA has provided stable rates for family budgets and business forecasts,” Perry wrote. The results of a YVEA customer survey released in April showed that more than 90 percent of YVEA customers do not support paying higher rates to benefit a rebate program for energy efficiency or renewable energy projects. The survey also revealed high levels of customer satisfaction.

Moore-Kemp, however, thinks increasing energy efficiency programs would be financially beneficial to YVEA and its customers. “Let’s take a moment to think about what energy efficiency achieves on the most basic level: a lower energy bill,” MooreKemp wrote. “Why wouldn’t we want to save our membership money on their bills?” Susan Holland is challenging Scott McGill in the race for the District 8 seat representing Steamboat Springs. Among her ideas, Holland said, she would like to see YVEA provide rebates for solar installation projects and purchase more electricity from small, local renewable energy projects that she thinks are feasible in the Yampa Valley. With assurances that YVEA would buy their electricity, Holland said private individuals could develop local power projects such as micro-hydro generation on streams, a methane gas project at the Milner Landfill or biomass electric systems powered by beetle-killed trees. “I see a day when … we could

Ritter signs package of bills

Governer confronted by angry union members DENVER

Ignoring catcalls from angry union members, Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter signed a package of bills he said will help struggling families and workers during the recession. Members of a union representing grocery store workers yelled at the governor, calling him a liar and telling him he misled them when he vetoed a bill that would have given unemployment benefits to workers locked out by employers during a labor dispute. Ritter told the union workers the bills he signed Tuesday will help all workers, including union members. “That is a lie,” shouted Kim Pleasant, a member of United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 7, which is negotiating a new labor contract with Safeway, King Soopers and Albertsons. Their contracts expired last month but workers have continued working while negotiations continue. Ritter told union members he vetoed the bill because he thought it was wrong to use the legislative process as a lever to settle a labor dispute that is ongoing. “It is my great hope you can work this out. I made my case,” he said and abruptly walked away from the podium when

the catcalls continued. “I called him a liar because he promised us he would sign that bill,” Pleasant said after Ritter Ritter left the room. Andrew Carillo, who represents the union, said Ritter told him he would sign the bill and said the governor is losing the support of organized labor. “He hasn’t been very friendly to workers. We campaigned for him. He can’t count on my support anymore,” Carillo said. The bills signed Tuesday that the governor said would help struggling families include legislation that will help homeowners avoid foreclosure, give additional unemployment benefits to workers who’ve lost their jobs, and provide funding for employment and training technology. The governor still isn’t saying what he will do with one of the remaining union bills, a measure that would give firefighters the right to unionize without getting local approval. The confrontation capped a hectic day of bill signings that included bills to protect water resources, health care, veterans, the military and provide funding for federal stimulus projects.

Government has 2 roles

��

Public policy, corporate responsibility could blur in GM control

Jim Kuhnhenn

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

��

As majority stakeholder in General Motors, the government is straddling two responsibilities that could be awkwardly at odds: corporate ownership and public policy making. With a $50 billion investment in the once dominant automaker, the administration’s objective is to return the company to

� ��

��

profitability and recoup as much of the bailout as possible. But President Barack Obama also has a broad policy agenda that includes creating jobs and a greener economy, goals that may conflict with the corporate bottom line. What if scaling back production of a fuel-efficient car at a time of low gas prices would save GM money? What if it were cheaper to close a plant and send certain manufacturing jobs overseas? Administration officials say they intend to maintain a virtual firewall between its policy initiatives and Obama’s task force that has been working with GM and Chrysler to restructure. “It was made very clear to us that an exercise in which we try to accomplish multiple policy objectives simultaneously was

fraught with peril and would very substantially reduce the chance of success,” said Steven Rattner, one of the top advisers on the auto task force. The administration already has walked that high wire. Two months ago, in rejecting Chrysler’s and GM’s initial restructuring plans, it said GM’s underperforming dealers were a drag on the company and that its plug-in Chevrolet Volt was too expensive. GM itself weighed its corporate needs against public policy needs after the United Autoworkers and members of Congress urged it to abandon plans to build a small, fuel efficient car in China. GM now says it will build the car in a U.S. plant that was going to be idled.

An airplane seat, a fuel slick and pieces of white debris scattered over three miles of open ocean marked the site in the mid-Atlantic on Tuesday where Brazilian officials said Air France Flight 447 crashed. Brazilian military pilots spotted the wreckage, sad reminders bobbing on waves, in the ocean 400 miles northeast of these islands off Brazil’s coast. The plane carrying 228 people from Rio de Janeiro to Paris went down in water up to three miles deep Sunday night. “I can confirm that the five kilometers of debris are those of the Air France plane,” Defense Minister Nelson Jobim told reporters at a hushed news conference in Rio. He said no bodies had been found and there was no sign of life. The effort to recover the debris and locate the all-important black box recorders, which emit signals for only 30 days, is expected to be exceedingly challenging. “We are in a race against the clock in extremely difficult weather conditions and in a zone where depths reach up to 7,000 meters (22,966 feet),” French Prime Minister Francois Fillon told lawmakers in parliament Tuesday. Brazilian military pilots first spotted the floating debris early Tuesday in two areas about 35 miles (60 kilometers) apart, Air Force spokesman Jorge Amaral

said. The area is not far off the flight path of Flight 447. The cause of the crash will not be known until the black boxes are recovered — which could take days or weeks. But weather and aviation experts are focusing on the possibility of a collision with a brutal storm that sent winds of 100 mph straight into the airliner’s path. “The airplane was flying at 500 mph northeast, and the air is coming at them at 100 mph,” said AccuWeather.com expert senior meteorologist Henry Margusity. “That probably started the process that ended up in some catastrophic failure of the airplane.” Towering Atlantic storms are common this time of year near the equator — an area known as the intertropical convergence zone. “That’s where the northeast trade winds meet the southeast trade winds — its the meeting place of the southern hemisphere and the northern hemisphere’s weather,” Margusity said. But several veteran pilots of big airliners said it was extremely unlikely Flight 447’s crew intended to punch through a killer storm. “Nobody in their right mind would ever go through a thunderstorm,” said Tim Meldahl, a captain for a major U.S. airline who has flown internationally for 26 years, including more than 3,000 hours on the same A330 jetliner. Pilots often work their way through bands of storms, watching for lightning flashing through clouds ahead and maneuvering around them, he said.

Astros defeat Rockies Tejada has homer in 11th inning Chris Duncan

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOUSTON

Miguel Tejada hit a game-winning homer off Josh Fogg in the 11th inning to cap a three-RBI night and lift the Houston Astros to a 3-2 win against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night. Tejada, the National League’s leading hitter coming in with a .353 average, tied the game in the ninth with an RBI single off Huston Street. He also had an RBI single in the fifth against Rockies starter Ubaldo Jimenez. Tejada has 27 RBIs in his past 25 games. Fogg (0-1) got Michael Bourn on a groundout leading off the 11th before Tejada drove a 2-2 pitch into the left-field porch, his sixth homer of the season. It was the fifth time the Astros have won a game in their last at-bat, and the second time Tejada has driven in the winning run. Colorado had a chance to score in the top of the 11th. Omar Quintanilla led off with a single off Russ Ortiz (3-2) and advanced on Paul Phillips’ bunt. Ortiz struck out Ian Stewart, and backup second baseman Matt Kata made a diving stop to rob Dexter Fowler of a hit. The Rockies took a 2-1 lead to the bottom of the ninth before Street blew a save for the first time in nine chances this season. Ivan Rodriguez led off with a single and Bourn reached on a bunt after Street threw wildly to first for an error. Tejada drove in Rodriguez with a bloop single to right. The Astros’ rally ruined an effective start by the Rockies’ Ubaldo Jimenez, who allowed seven hits and four walks in six innings. Felipe Paulino was dominant early, striking out five of the first 10 batters he faced. But the Rockies took a 2-0 lead in the fourth on back-to-back doubles by Todd Helton and Brad Hawpe and an RBI single by Seth Smith.

Sergei Gonchar said it once, then repeated it again a few seconds later as he tried pumping some confidence into some discouraged teammates: It’s not over. Thanks to Gonchar’s powerplay goal midway through the third period that revived the

Penguins after Detroit pressed for the lead and Marc-Andre Fleury’s strong work in goal, the Stanley Cup finals are far from over for Pittsburgh after a 4-2 victory in Game 3 on Tuesday night. Game 4, which could have been an elimination game for Pittsburgh, will be Thursday night. Either the defending champion Red Wings can take a stranglehold 3-1 advantage

or the Penguins can make the finals a best-of-three after losing the first two in Detroit. “This series is where it should be,” Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. Gonchar’s slap shot from center point off Evgeni Malkin’s pass sailed past Chris Osgood as Bill Guerin and Sidney Crosby screened the goalie, Pittsburgh’s ninth consecutive shot to start the third

after being outshot 26-11 in the first two. The Penguins were 2 for 3 with the man advantage, with defenseman Kris Letang also scoring in the first. “The (Gonchar) power play was an unbelievable job by a handful of guys out there, keeping the play alive and giving Gonch a chance,” Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said.

The Steamboat Youth Lacrosse sixth-grade red team made the finals of the Warrior-Brine Rocky Mountain Lacrosse Jamboree during the weekend. The team lost, 3-2, in double overtime. “It was a great game,” SYL Director Neill Redfern said. Steamboat brought six teams, with fifth- through eighth-graders, to the Friday, Saturday and Sunday tournament. The tournament brings in more than 320 teams, making it one of the largest in the country. Steamboat had two eighthgrade teams, a seventh-grade team, two sixth-grade teams and a fifth-grade team. The eighth-grade red team — playing in a very competitive division — went 2-2. The eighth-grade white team came close to making the finals, finishing 3-2. The sixth-grade white team went 1-2, and the seventh- and fifth-grade teams each went 0-2. The tournament con-

The summer season starts Monday for the Little Laxers and June 15 for grades eight through 12. “We had a great year,” Redfern said. “I think it was successful all and all. Most kids had fun. The tournament down in Denver is a big spectacle, so everyone leaves on a positive note.”

Biking trails at Steamboat Ski Area remain closed Steamboat Ski & Resort Corp. spokeswoman Loryn Kasten said Tuesday that mountain biking trails at Steamboat Ski Area are still closed. She said that with the recent rain and continued logging, all trails are closed. “We want to make the trails as safe as possible,” she said. Kasten said the ski area hopes to have trails open to Thunderhead by June 12. She said that even when the trails are open, riders should use

caution because the trails will have people on them doing work. She said the latest the trails would open is June 19, when the gondola opens and the summer season begins. Routt County Riders Trail Coordinator Gretchen Sehler also reminded riders that several trails on Emerald Mountain are still closed. Stairway to Heaven, Abby’s and the right side of the Forest Loop are closed. Sehler also wanted to let local riders know the Town Challenge Mountain Bike Series kicks off June 10. Sehler said the series needs multiple volunteers for the opening race at Marabou Ranch. She said she needs volunteers to help with timing, parking vehicles and helping riders in certain areas of the course. Volunteers would be asked to show up at 4:30 p.m. June 10. Those interested should call Sehler at 819-1564. — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

Broncos’ Marshall cleared ENGLEWOOD

Brandon Marshall is free to play the entire 2009 season, providing his surgically repaired hip allows it. Marshall learned Tuesday that he won’t face disciplinary action from the NFL because of his latest arrest in a domestic dispute. League spokesman Greg Aiello told The Associated Press that the Denver Broncos’ Pro Bowl receiver has been notified that no punishment is forthcoming as the result of his arrest in Atlanta on March 1 that stemmed from a fight with his new fiancee. Charges were dropped the next day when Marshall and his fiancee, Michi Leshase NogamiCampbell, refused to testify against each other. “Brandon is thrilled,” Marshall’s lawyer, Harvey Steinberg, said. “I’ve always

maintained that the NFL would treat us fairly. We felt if they took the time to do a thorough investigation, which they did, there would be no basis for discipline. That was the finding. We’re thrilled.” Steinberg said Marshall received a letter from commissioner Roger Goodell clearing him but also cautioning him to steer clear of trouble. “The letter in summary says: We’ve done a full and complete investigation of the situation, and because it’s not clear what took place we don’t feel there’s a basis for discipline,” Steinberg said. “He (Goodell) expected Brandon to toe the line, and Brandon will toe the line.” “We are humbled, enthused and excited by this decision by the commissioner’s office,” said Marshall’s agent, Kennard McGuire. “We also understand that Brandon has to continue to grow, be accountable and responsible. We have no doubt

he’ll do all the above and more.” The Broncos, who had no immediate comment Tuesday, were worried that Marshall’s latest arrest could lead to another suspension for repeated violations of the league’s personal conduct code. He missed last year’s opener for a series of police-related incidents with his former girlfriend. Repeat offenders of the league’s conduct policy, such as Tank Johnson and Chris Henry, have received eightgame suspensions. Adam “Pacman” Jones was suspended for the 2007 season after repeated run-ins with the law. Marshall, 25, was suspended for three games last season but he and Steinberg, successfully had the punishment whittled to one game plus two paychecks totaling $52,352 when Marshall pledged to stay out of trouble and off the police blotter.

Player won’t face discipline from NFL in domestic dispute

Gonchar saw positives in games 1 and 2 NHL continued from 27 The decisive power play was created by an interference call on Jonathan Ericsson, with Babcock saying, “At that point, they took over. They got the power play in the third, and we didn’t.” Fourth-line center Max Talbot scored twice, including an empty-netter, as the Penguins prevented the Red Wings from moving to within one victory of their fifth Stanley Cup since 1997. “It’s great to be back in this series,” said Fleury, who shook off two unsteady games in Detroit. It’s also a repeat of last year, when the Penguins won 3-2 in Game 3 after losing the first two on the road. Detroit went on to win in six. The way they played for

much of Game 3, with Henrik Zetterberg and John Franzen scoring in the first to give them a 2-1 lead, it looked as if the Red Wings was trying to win this one in three. “I don’t want to say this was a must-win game, but everybody knows we needed to win this game,” Talbot said. Malkin assisted on the first three Penguins goals, giving him 33 points in 20 games, the most in the playoffs since Joe Sakic’s 34 in 22 games for Stanley Cup champion Colorado in 1996. The Red Wings were so dominating at times the Penguins once had six men on the ice for nearly a half minute without it being detected. There were five-minute stretches of continuous up-and-down play, many scoring chances at both ends — and, the way the Red

Wings kept pressuring, plenty of tentativeness by towel-waving Penguins fans nervous they might see the Penguins’ season effectively end. “We talked after the second, we didn’t have a very good second period. We needed to calm down and get back to our game,” Bylsma said. They did, and Gonchar turned out to be right. One of the few Penguins players at the rink on a day off Monday, Gonchar constantly repeated that the Penguins did enough right during their twin 3-1 losses in Detroit to encourage them. He and Guerin also downplayed the fact 31 of the previous 32 teams to win the first two games at home went on to win the series.

who had right shoulder surgery in October and had played four three-set matches at Roland Garros in her first major tournament in nearly a year. “Everything fell a little short today. The pace wasn’t there on my strokes, and, you know, I was five steps slower.” Her absence from the tour dropped her ranking outside the top 100. Still, as a former No. 1 and a three-time major champion, Sharapova was expected to beat Cibulkova, a 20-yearold Slovak who was making her Grand Slam quarterfinal debut and whose chief financial backer is not a shoe company or a racket manufacturer but, instead, a friend of her coach from back home in Bratislava. Now the 5-foot-3 Cibulkova — 11 inches shorter than Sharapova — faces the current No. 1, Dinara Safina, who overcame a shaky start to defeat No. 9 Victoria Azarenka of Belarus 1-6, 6-4, 6-2. “I’m not really happy with my game today,” Safina said.

The morning calm at Muirfield Village was shattered by a sound that was sure to be sweet music to players. It came from the engine of a lawn mower. Mowers were thought to be a myth last year at the Memorial. The rough was supposed to be 4 inches, yet it doubled in length by the end of the week and was particularly punishing around the greens. It felt as though the U.S. Open had arrived two weeks early. Geoff Ogilvy feared some players would stop coming. Phil Mickelson showed his displeasure by praising the course of every tournament he had played that year except for the Memorial. Even before his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, Lefty did not have Muirfield

GOLF Village on his schedule this year. “We were over the top last year,” said Slugger White, the PGA Tour official in charge of setting up the course. The fault fell to Jack Nicklaus — at least that’s the perception of most players. After all, this is the course Jack built for a tournament he has hosted since 1976. Nicklaus built his career around the majors, and he wants the Memorial to be the next best thing. But even Nicklaus was troubled by the high grass, not to mention the complaints. “The one thing I never liked as a golfer was hack-out rough,” Nicklaus said Tuesday. “I’ve always felt that if you put the ball in the rough, there should be some chance of playing a shot to reach the green, but not be able to control the ball like you would

the opposite about her own performance, but neither she nor her coach, Vladimir Platenik, thought she played perfectly. “Regular,” was the word Platenik used when they huddled in the hallway outside the locker room at Court Suzanne Lenglen. “I told you!” Platenik said. “I told you if you played regular, you could do it!” Indeed, stranger things have happened at this tournament, not least was Robin Soderling’s fourthround upset of four-time defending champion Rafael Nadal. No one, save perhaps Soderling, thought he would stop Nadal’s 31-match winning streak in Paris, and given that accomplishment, there should be no doubting how far the Swede can go. The 23rd-seeded Soderling stretched his career-best winning streak to eight matches by easily handling two-time French Open semifinalist Nikolay Davydenko 6-1, 6-3, 6-1. Never before a Grand Slam semifinalist — or quarterfinalist or even fourth-round participant — Soderling will be a French Open finalist if he can beat No. 12 Fernando Gonzalez of Chile.

The final score of Maria Sharapova’s stunning loss in the French Open quarterfinals Tuesday did not look quite as embarrassing as it nearly did: Her opponent led 6-0, 5-0. That Sharapova saved a match point in the 12th game and wound up delaying her defeat for 15 minSharapova utes was of no consolation, of course. All that mattered was that her bid to complete a career Grand Slam this year ended when she was beaten 6-0, 6-2 by 20thseeded Dominika Cibulkova. “I don’t really care about numbers. It’s either a ‘W’ or an ‘L,”’ Sharapova said, “and I prefer ‘W.”’ All of that time on court at the French Open, and all of that time away before it, finally caught up to her, resulting in her most lopsided loss at a major tournament. “You can only ask your body to do so much,” said Sharapova,

normally. I think recovery is a beautiful part of the game.” Muirfield Village is spectacular as ever, but not the same this year. The rough is not as dense, not as high. The wooden rakes that created furrows in the bunkers the past three years have been replaced by standard rakes that leave the sand smooth. This came not from concession, rather discussion. Nicklaus met with PGA Tour officials, as always, after Kenny Perry won last year with the highest winning score (280) in 23 years. “I don’t think Mr. Nicklaus or the tour liked what came out of last year,” said Steve Rintoul, the tour official who oversaw the course setup this year. “The rules committee, in conjunction with Jack, thought it better to have shorter rough.” Ultimately, the tour has the final word in how the course plays. But if Nicklaus is the one taking the heat whenever someone complains — a chief hobby for most players on this tour — then why not just take full authority of his golf tournament? Nicklaus chuckled at the suggestion. “We are part of the tour,” he said. “What I want to do is cooperate the best I can, have middle round on what I want to do and what the players like.”
