City Council insists Steamboat 700 developers assume all risk Tom Ross

Risk aversion was on everyone’s mind Tuesday night as City Council and Steamboat 700 developers resumed their slow dance toward annexation. At the end of the evening, council members left little doubt about who could be left holding the bag. If a fiscal stew of property taxes, real estate transfer fees, interest rates and

Steamboat 700 representatives debuted a financial plan they say would generate sufficient revenue to raise $48 million for public improvements in the next 35 years. Financial consultant Jean Townsend told council that $48 million is the share her clients think they should contribute to $70.8 million in infrastructure needs, ranging from sidewalks to fire trucks, in neighborhoods where they hope to build as many as 2,000 homes. The site is north of U.S.

Highway 40 and just west of the existing city limits. The balance of the money could come from state and federal highway funds, other developments being considered for annexation — such as 360 Village — and the city. Elements of Steamboat 700’s financing proposal for capital costs are so new, city staff has not had time to analyze them and report to council. Accordingly, See Steamboat 700, page 16

Crawdads and ice cream T

worries can wait until I have my perfect moment on the boat dock. “Do I have to be productive yet?” I murmur into the towel. We are in North Routt at Pearl Lake — our paradise. If a perfect winter day means 15 inches of Champagne Powder, a perfect summer day, for us, means Pearl Lake. It’s the place we talk about all winter long because most of our favorite memories are from time spent there: ■ The night we camped in the yurt and a hungry mouse kept us awake. ■ The day we watched a pair of corgis in their little doggy life jackets get lowered into the water for a swim. ■ The day a water snake sent me hydroplaning out of the water. ■ The time a big truck backed up to the water’s edge and released hundreds of wiggling fingerling trout. ■ The moment we raced each other into the cold water, losing a shoe in the process. ■ The day we couldn’t wait

any longer for Pearl Lake to open so we hiked in with our picnic. My pre-teen son argues with me about everything — from washing his face to his untied shoelaces — but we don’t argue about Pearl Lake. We’ve been catching crawdads together there for almost 10 years, and it seems to be the last activity we can agree to do together. When he was little, crawdad fishing offered immediate gratification and less tangled lines. Now that he’s older, it offers uninterrupted time together in a spot with no cell phone service. We never admit to ourselves that the real reason we are going to Pearl Lake is so we can stop for ice cream at the Clark Store. We never talk about the ice cream until we are almost there, and then I’ll ask him whether he wants an ice cream cone, which is a dumb question because he always wants an ice cream cone, and he’ll ask me whether I want an ice cream cone, which is a dumb question because I always want an ice cream cone, and so we stop. For some reason, an ice cream cone at the Clark Store tastes better than an ice cream cone anywhere else. We don’t have a lot of traditions in our family, so I hope fishing — crawdads or otherwise — is a tradition we will continue, with or without the ice cream. And hopefully, at Pearl Lake.

he heat from the boat dock warms my beach towel as slowly, one by one, I feel the muscles of my body begin to let go. I make a little nest out of my other towel, to burrow my head into, and with a big “whoosh” let go of all the air, all of the to-dos and all of the stress. I melt into my towel. I listen to the hollow sound of my son’s bare feet on the dock as he scampers back and forth until there is the satisfying plop of a crawdad into the bucket. “Got another one,” he exclaims. All of the gear my busy-bee mind hummed at me to bring is abandoned helter-skelter on the shoreline. Canvas bags spill over with rain gear, bathing suits, a change of clothes, extra shoes, books, magazines, bug spray, sun block and water bottles. Eventually, I’ll do something with all the stuff. But first, I need a minute. Maybe five. I lift my head long enough to mumble, “What’s the count?” “Ten,” my son replies excitedly. “Perfect,” I say with a thud as I collapse onto my makeshift bed.

If you sit long enough by the edge of the Yampa River, you can see the season changing. Not by the colors of the leaves or the temperature of the air, but by the occasional tube intermixed with the kayaks and rafts that can seen floating down the high water. It’s almost officially tubing season, and as the water nears the perfect level for leisurely floating, community and government groups again are reminding tubers of the regulations and urging them to be considerate of other river users.

‘Stimulus’ fund to help 4-H Supporters raise money to divide at livestock auction

��

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Fear not, Routt County 4H members: “Stimulus” money might be headed your way. Several 4-H supporters, worried that the recession could depress prices at the Junior Livestock Sale, are starting a fund to help out. They’re jokingly calling it a livestock stimulus fund, 4-H Agent Jay Whaley said. People and businesses can donate money to help increase overall prices for livestock sold at auction. “If we have a set amount of money in there, we can divide it up by the number of animals,” Whaley said, thereby raising the floor so every youth gets at least some money. Mountain Valley Bank will handle the fund. Dean Vogelaar, president of the bank’s Steamboat Springs branch, is among the organizers. They’re trying to avoid losing ground in animal prices, Vogelaar said. Youths make about $900 net for beef, sheep, swine and goat projects, according to a survey conducted in 2008. About 80 per-

cent of youths put the money toward college, after they reimburse their parents for costs. About 15 percent put it toward the next year’s livestock project. Participant numbers increased this year across livestock categories, Whaley said. “Knowing that the economy is a little bit soft right now and that we have an increase in animals to be sold at the auction, we thought we should start getting out in front of it a little bit and seeing what we could do to fortify, to support, to hold up the sale,” Vogelaar said. His team sent letters to businesses that have supported the sale and 4-H. Ideally, people and companies would just keep buying animals, Vogelaar said. “We continue to encourage all the buyers to be there and buy as they have in the past,” he said. “We’re just trying to create another opportunity to drive some funds to supplement what happens at the sale.” Other organizers include Mike Bell, Medora Fralick, John Kerst, Dennis Kuntz and Bernard Petersen. Kerst, director of business development at Yampa Valley Bank, said he hopes to help

the youths make money, learn the business and preserve the agriculture of the valley. “4-H, FFA is what this community has been about for longer than it’s been a resort community,” Kerst said. “And we treasure this Western heritage that we have, and a lot of these kids are part of it.” Kuntz said he’d been a 4-H supporter since he was a member. “It’s probably the best program any kid can be involved in, in this community or area,” he said. Organizers will look at the sale and the size of the fund to determine how to divide the money, Vogelaar said. They “thought this would be an equitable source that would create opportunities for buyers and create a level playing field in terms of being able to supplement the sale,” he said. People and businesses can donate at Mountain Valley Bank branches in Steamboat, Hayden, Meeker and Walden. Whaley said he was grateful for the group’s help. “It’s pretty amazing to me that we have these people in the community,” he said.

COMMENTARY

Emerald’s future is in our hands

e applaud last week’s action by Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar to preserve a 4,139-acre Emerald Mountain parcel from energy and mineral development for the next 20 years. Salazar’s signature AT ISSUE put a capstone on a Preservation conservation effort of Emerald that stretches back to Mountain from 1993, when city commineral, energy mittees began discussing the idea of public development recreation and trails on Emerald Mountain OUR VIEW to complement the adjacent Howelsen Laudable Hill. The effort culmiconservation nated in the February effort should 2007 completion of a spark renewed massive land swap, in partnership to which the Bureau of steward future Land Management of local gave the Colorado State Land Board treasure. more than 15,400 acres of federal land — on 123 isolated parcels scattered throughout Routt County — in exchange for the consolidated Emerald Mountain parcel. Although Salazar’s action might seem like a formality, the significance of preserving Emerald Mountain from mineral lease applications should not be overlooked. “That only happens with a secretary

order or an act of Congress,” said John Husband, field manager for the BLM’s Little Snake Field Office in Craig. “Short of that, public lands are available for mineral entry.” Hopefully, Salazar’s action will spur a renewed effort by local citizens to volunteer their time and energy toward future management of Emerald Mountain, which is an incredible public asset. But the BLM can only do so much. The Little Snake Field Office oversees a total of about 1.3 million acres of federal land in Moffat, Routt and Rio Blanco counties. Husband said that although the BLM has funding this year for Emerald Mountain projects including completion of the Ridge Trail, their resources are limited. “Certainly, BLM is going to be managing the (Emerald) area for public benefit and access, and we’re going to continue to work on the area for adequate signing and trails … our funding only goes so far,” he said Tuesday. “We only have so many employees.” The Steamboat community already has shown a strong willingness to step forward for Emerald Mountain. The Emerald Mountain Partnership, a group of concerned citizens and local government officials, spearheaded work that resulted in the land swap. And although that group has grown dormant since the deal was completed, its nonprofit status still is valid. Gina Robison, recreation plan-

ner at the BLM Little Snake office, credited the Routt County Riders biking club for helping with trail planning. Robison added that the Rocky Mountain Youth Corps is doing trail work on Emerald. Robison said if all those interested groups collaborated, the result would be an “astronomical” benefit for the BLM. “We’re definitely looking for groups to get together and manage (the Emerald Mountain parcel) for us, so to speak,” Robison said. “It is public land.” Husband and Robison said that a community partnership could hold fundraisers, for example, that could help pay for trail work and development on Emerald. “Anything that we do out there requires funding,” Robison said, noting that the federal government cannot hold such fundraisers. A renewed community partnership also would enable different users of Emerald Mountain and surrounding landowners to have an impact on the area’s management — “If you don’t raise your voice, you’re not going to get heard,” Robison noted. Those interested in helping shape Emerald’s future can contact Robison at 826-5083 or gina_robison@blm.gov. The hard work of preserving the land is completed. But much work remains to ensure and make the most of Emerald Mountain’s future.

Facing extinction When you see people riding bicycles instead of driving a hydrocarbon-burning, molecular oxygen-consuming vehicle, we should be grateful that someone is contributing to the future survival of humans on planet Earth. If everyone understood quantum physics and basis chemistry, we all would understand the process of global warming and the reduction of the surplus molecular oxygen that took 3.5 billion years to produce through photosynthesis. Then, we all would understand that it’s the molecular oxygen that absorbs the ultraviolet energy and becomes ozone. We also would understand that larger molecules such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, carbon dioxide and water vapor are great at absorbing the infrared (heat) portion of the energy spectrum. When we drive our vehicles, we are reversing the process of photosynthesis at a very fast rate. For photosynthesis to catch up, it will take another few billion years. A final thought: If everyone

on Earth stopped burning fuel, the climate of the Earth would stay the same (plus or minus 1 degree). If we continue to burn at the current rate, we will face extinction in the next 60 years. So, at least bike if you can.

Buying reinsurance Forty years ago, the President’s Commission on Income Maintenance Programs issued its final report. Its recommendation for a Guaranteed Annual Income or “Negative Income Tax” morphed six years later into the “Earned Income Credit.” But the Commission denied recommending approval for a second program, one to combat the increasing problem of catastrophic health care costs. Although not accepted by the panel, the concept found its way into the White House. President Richard Nixon had an early start in considering federal government involvement in financing health care. In 1947, he teamed up with Sen. Jacob Javits to provide a Republican alternative to President Truman’s single-payer plan. Neither went anywhere. In what would be his last State of the Union message (February 1974), Nixon presented his Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan. Other than its emphasis on Health Maintenance Organizations, it, too, went nowhere. The continuous conflict between the advocates of “single-payer” (Truman, Kennedy and Clinton) and the less efficient but more politically palatable extension of the current system (Nixon) has left the

American public with neither. If we are to have what seems to be the politically expedient program, one key element of the Nixon program — the one rejected by the PCIMP — must be included. The program must recognize “relative catastrophic costs,” and deal with them. Both the staff of the PCIMP and the Nixon CHIP considered medical costs exceeding $1,500 in any year as catastrophic for the average American with an adjustment relative to income for those families having less modest incomes. Today, the $1,500 figure probably would be in the order of $10,000, with a greater number of Americans qualifying for adjustment. To the extent that government has a role to play in the “expedient program,” it needs to be the insurer of last resort, a “re-insurer.” Private plans will continue to provide base coverage, but under this extension, they will be able to buy into the reinsurance and thus be able to avoid the problem of accepting persons who have existing conditions. The alternative suggested by President Barack Obama is a public option. Conservative Democrats and Republicans oppose such a plan as a “foot in the door” for a single-payer plan. They claim that a public option will, per force, be able to compete at a lower cost than private plans and drive those plans out of business. Allowing insurance companies to buy into reinsurance, or allowing the public to buy catastrophic insurance that is related to income, may be the only way to get the concept of national health coverage to realization.

Teachers of the Year announced Steamboat Springs School District reveals each school’s winner Jack Weinstein

2008-09 Teachers of the Year

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

As the 2008-09 school year neared a close, each of the Steamboat Springs School District’s four schools named their Teachers of the Year. They were: Amy Bohmer, from Steamboat Springs Middle School; Maggie Glueck, from Steamboat Springs High School; Susie Gruben, from Strawberry Park Elementary School; and Laura LeBrun, from Soda Creek Elementary School. Each teacher was awarded a $1,000 scholarship for continuing education from the Lazof Family Foundation. Ron and Chenza Lazof, who split time residing in Steamboat and Newport Beach, Calif., established the foundation to “both reward and encourage excellence among the primary molders of our community’s most valuable resource, our children,” according to the school district. Last month, a committee made up of district administrators, parents, school staff and Steamboat Springs School Board members chose LeBrun as the district’s Teacher of the Year. Before the formation of the

Susie Gruben

■ Steamboat Springs Middle School ■ Eighth-grade English and science teacher ■ Ten years at the school “As a principal, Bohmer you really look for BILL STEWART/ staff members who COURTESY take pride in the work they do with students and understand it’s the most important work that can be done,” Steamboat Springs Middle School Principal Tim Bishop said. “She motivates kids who don’t necessarily want to be motivated. That’s hard to do.”

■ Strawberry Park Elementary School ■ English Language Learning teacher ■ Four years at the school “Her job is one Gruben that requires her to be hands on at all time,” Strawberry Park Co-Principal Celia Dunham said about the ELL program that’s been at the school only a few years. “She has been instrumental in developing that program and working with students and parents.”

Maggie Glueck

Laura LeBrun

■ Steamboat Springs High School ■ English teacher ■ Eight years at the school (18 years at Strawberry Park Elementary School Glueck before that) “She’s a very dedicated teacher. She’s always striving to provide the best education she can,” Steamboat Springs High School Principal Kevin Taulman said. “What makes Maggie very special is her dedication to students and staff.”

Tienda de pizza se muda a un lugar más grande Una restaurante de Hayden usará el edificio usado por el Restaurante Mexicano Quintero’s Blythe Terrell

PERSONAL DEL PILOT & TODAY

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Stacy Magee tiene grandes planes para convertir su pequeña pizzería en un restaurante familiar. Magee y su esposo, Trea, son dueños de Wolf Mountain Pizza en Hayden. Se están mudando al restaurante en la Avenida Jefferson donde el Restaurante Mexicano Quinteros dejó un espacio abierto. Quintero’s cerró la semana pasada. Wolf Mountain está lleno de cosas en su local actual en 175 W. Jefferson Ave. El edificio es de 1,300 por 1,700 pies por cuadrado, pero Magee solo usa un tercio del espa-

cio para colocar asientos. El antiguo lugar de Quinteros en 105 y 107 W. Jefferson Ave. es cerca de 3,300 pies cuadrados, ella dice. “Tendría que decir que definitivamente estamos multiplicando nuestros asientos 10 veces,” dijo Magee. “Definitivamente vamos a tener una gran cantidad de asientos.” Ella planea tener la gran inauguración el 1ro de Julio pero quiere abrir a mediados de Junio para los equipos del Triple Crown Sports. “Tenemos a los equipos del Triple Crown viniendo; tenemos feria, temporada de cacería,” dijo Magee. “Solo queremos hacerlo más grande o mejor para las diferentes familias que vienen a la misma vez.”

��

Ella va a mantener el área de comedor tan grande como está ahora. El cuarto al este, que solía ser la panadería de Quinteros, será un cuarto para juegos y fiestas. Magee planea añadir mesas, juegos de video y una televisión con una gran pantalla. El cuarto podría ser usado para fiestas o para eventos deportivos especiales, ella dijo. Magee planea ofrecer algunas cosas especiales para los equipos que vienen a visitar, también. Las recetas y comida de Wolf Mountain no cambiarían, ella prometió. Ella planea añadir unas cuantas cosas: helados, una barra de sopas y ensalada diaria. Wolf Mountain comenzará a servir pizza por porción individual todo el día, en vez

de solo 11 a.m. a 3 p.m. La familia Magee también espera conseguir una licencia de licor para poder servir cerveza. “Hay una persona en la comunidad que me dijo que tiene una mesa de billar que nos la dejaría usar,” Magge dijo. “Es algo que estoy tomando en consideración.” Wolf Mountain continuaría estando abierto sietes días a la semana. Terry Anderson es dueño del edificio por cuatro años. Él dijo que está muy complacido de dar la bienvenida a la familia Magee. “Ella siempre esta en tono,” dijo Anderson acerca de Stacy. “Ellos siempre hacen un bueno trabajo, y ella toma ventaja de todo lo que está pasando en esta

área, entonces ella va a traer a muchos clientes, que ayudarían a cualquier restaurante.” Joyce Folley, presidenta de la Cámara de Comercio de Hayden, dijo que estaba emocionada acerca de los planes de Magee para Wolf Mountain. “Que mejor lugar que el centro de la ciudad, finalmente,” ella dijo. “Teniendo cualquier cosa en la esquina de ese edificio es perfecto, y haciéndolo con la perspectiva familiar en mente y con buenos precios, todas las pizzas ella tiene que ofrecer, va a ser genial.” Folley dijo que Magee iba a proveer un servicio necesitado. “Ella tiene muchas actividades planeadas para familias y jóvenes, y no tenemos algo así en Hayden,” dijo Folley.

Spurs on Service

Enroll by July 15 to be featured in the 2009-10 Visitors’ Guide Molly Killien

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS CHAMBER RESORT ASSOCIATION

We all know the drill. Smiling, opening doors and introducing yourself to visitors seems like second nature to many Steamboat Springs business owners and employees. In tough economic times, fundamental service values are what set businesses apart. Understanding and meeting the needs of customers is a key component for successful business, but demonstrating true hospitality principles like going the extra mile and anticipating guests’ needs are what make local businesses thrive. With the summer season gearing up, local Steamboat Springs businesses may be looking for opportunities to enhance their company’s image. Whether they fine-tune their customer service skills or look for opportunities to recognize their hardworking employees on a job well done, businesses are looking for ways to gain recognition as companies that hold service and customers’ needs in the highest regard. Do you think your company is doing all it can to reach its hospitality potential? This summer, push your business to the limit: enroll your business in the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association’s Spurs on Service hospitality program. Spurs on Service is about reconnecting with the values that set this valley apart from other communities in Colorado. It is a multipronged program with rewards for employees and employers. In Steamboat Springs, we pride ourselves on demonstrating a unique form of genuine Western friendliness and hospitality. How do you show it in your business? How do you reward your employees for a job well done?

The Old Town Hot Springs is a recent enrollee in the Chamber’s Spurs on Service program. The Old Town Hot Springs has decided to take the next step to elevate their customer service and to reenergize their staff. “We decided to enroll in the Spurs on Service program to show our customer base that we are committed to creating an enjoyable and memorable experience for our members and visitors,” notes Diane Hagihara, front desk manager at the Old Town Hot Springs. “Last November, four members of our management team attended a Spurs on Service general training session at Centennial Hall. We were all so impressed with the program’s message, the interaction among the attendees and how much fun the presentation was to participate in. Spurs on Service got our ‘wheels turning,’ and we knew we had to bring this program back to our staff.” Local businesses can enroll for a fee to earn as many as four spurs signifying the quality of service of their business. This service qualification will be printed in the Steamboat Springs Visitors’ Guide in the free listings for guests to see, and each business will receive a P.O.S. plaque, use of logo for advertising and recognition in Chamber publications and on its Web site. All businesses enrolling in the program will receive one free copy of the training DVD for in-house use. Cost of the program is $150 and includes two secret shopping services. “When you evaluate all the components of the Spurs on Service program, it is easy to see the value and exposure your business is getting. This program is a great way for Chamber members to show community support and dedication to customer service,”

��

If you go Free Spurs on Service Hospitality Training: Tuesday, June 16 11 a.m. to noon at Centennial Hall Give your staff an opportunity to brush up on their Steamboat IQ before the summer season officially starts. This free training covers the essential components for high service standards and will motivate your staff to be Steamboat friendly for our guests. RSVP: Call Alli at 875-7000 or email alli@steamboatchamber.com Download an enrollment form at www.steamboatchamber.com

said Amy Minotto, membership director at the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association. “Many businesses spend thousands of dollars on secret shopping services; this program is an affordable way for managers to get honest feedback on how their business is performing.” Businesses who are interested in being featured in the 2009-10 Steamboat Springs Visitors’ Guide with a Spurs on Service rating have until July 15 to enroll. Businesses’ ratings and the fact that they have gone through the program will be on display for all local consumers and visitors to Steamboat Springs. Best of all, the Spurs on Service certification process is fun. “The information presented through the Spurs on Service program was timely and informative. The content really resonated with our diverse staff — from individuals who have lived in Steamboat Springs for less than a year to longtime locals,” Hagihara said. “The presentation gave our staff the opportunity to reflect on their jobs, why they live in Steamboat Springs, how visitors impact our town and how lucky we are to call this valley home. Having an outside party come in and present the information in a genuinely

Members of the Old Town Hot Springs staff learn more about service and hospitality through the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association’s Spurs on Service program last week at a training session. Because the Old Town Hot Springs has enrolled in the program before the July 15 deadline, their Spurs on Service designation will be featured in the Winter 2009-10 Steamboat Magazine and Visitors’ Guide.

enthusiastic way made it a fun refresher and allowed all our staff to be engaged in the program.” If you are wondering what current enrollees are saying about the program, check out a testimonial from Katy Martin, sales and marketing director at ResortQuest Steamboat. ResortQuest will be listed in the 2009-10 Steamboat Springs Visitors’ Guide, having earned a prestigious 4-spur rating. “For 25 years, excellent service has been critical to the success of ResortQuest Steamboat. Throughout Steamboat, every front desk agent, concierge, housekeeper, activity vendor, server, ski instructor, etc., has the opportunity to make a positive impression on Steamboat visitors, and therefore, every member of this community is incremental in the success of all our local businesses. Now, more than ever, we believe this community-wide training and recognition program is invaluable for instilling pride in our town and all that we stand for. We are committed to ensuring the

success of the program.” The Steamboat-style friendliness is something we all hang our hats on. It’s what sets this community apart from our competition and is what keeps people coming back. It’s more than just great service and hospitality; it’s genuine caring and treating our visitors as our guests. The connection that we make with our customers is very special and valuable in today’s hectic-paced society that often creates isolation and fear. Coming to Steamboat Springs can be a step back in time to a safer, more comfortable place, where your needs are recognized and satisfied, where what you have to say is more important than what you are wearing, where customers matter. It’s a place where visitors are greeted, welcomed and feel at home. Hurry, and remember, the final deadline to enroll is July 15 to be featured in Steamboat Magazine and the Visitors’ Guide winter issue!

Hayden planned to use BidBridge, an online reverse auction company, to contract for Poplar Street improvements. But several contractors spoke against the system during Thursday’s Town Board of Trustees meeting. Louisville, Ky.-based BidBridge arranges for sellers to bid online for projects. The contrac-

tors have a 30-minute window to enter a bid. Bidders can’t see who else is bidding or what the other bids are, but they can see where their bids rank, from highest to lowest. Native Excavating owner Ed MacArthur said he didn’t trust the method. See Contractors, page 17

Tom Barron has written books about a teenage girl’s adventures, the trials of a young Merlin and Rocky Mountain National Park. Through the picture books, adventure novels, nature guides and epic fantasies, the author — who goes by the penname T.A. Barron — keeps a constant theme: the hero in every child. “It’s a big theme in my books. The fiction ones that most people know me for — the books about young Merlin or a heroic teenage girl named Kate — all those books have that hero’s journey idea at the center of the story,” Barron said. The author, based in Boulder, will tell some of his favorite stories about young heroes in a presentation and a book signing at 7 p.m. Thursday at Bud

Werner Memorial Library. Epilogue Book Co. will sell books from his diverse catalog. Barron’s focus on high-achieving children comes Barron more from being a father of five than it does from being a writer, he said. “I have realized that kids need much more sense of their own potential to make a difference in the world,” he said. “As a society, we are massively confused between what is a hero and what is a celebrity, and we give our kids a very mixed message about what is important. What I’m trying to do is, in my own small way, I’m going to try to counter that trend.” The kid-focused theme of his Steamboat talk comes from a local connection.

City Open Space Supervisor Craig Robinson said many of the regulations are not yet laws, after the Colorado Division of Wildlife’s proposal to implement increased legal regulation was rebuffed earlier this year in favor of the 2004 Yampa River Management Plan. “No alcohol is actually a law, but other things are respecting other users, which should be common sense, but we’re hearing from other users that we’re not at that level yet. That’s the level we’re reaching for,” he said. The 2004 plan calls for no

Developers ask council for concessions Steamboat 700 continued from 1 council members were hesitant to discuss their merits. Townsend said her clients are willing to provide more than $8 million in cash for priority projects soon after Steamboat 700 wins an annexation agreement. That amount includes $5.5 million for U.S. 40 improvements they say would include rebuilding the intersection at Elk River Road. The money would become available, Townsend said, as soon as the initial final plat for the development is filed. Also within 60 days of annexation, they would contribute $100,000 for the city’s water rights enhancement fund. And when the city and Steamboat Springs Rural Fire Protection District are ready to finance a new fire station in west Steamboat, Steamboat 700 would come through with almost $2.7 million for that project. But the developers also are asking for some concessions. They want to be excused from contributing $3 million to $14.5 million to help solve the 13th Street bottleneck, a problem they say pre-dated their development proposal. Nor do they want to be compelled to put up $8.9 million for a new public safety building, a need they say was formally documented by a city study in 2001. They also want to be credited for between $20 million and $28.8 million in use and excise tax revenues they say construction of the new neighborhood will contribute to city coffers.

of three mixed-use “village centers” would be replaced with a 348,000-square-foot retail center with space for two large-format retailers and a grocery store. ** Number includes a mix of for-sale and rental housing options for households earning between 70 percent and 160 percent of the area median income. *** Initial sales and community housing units excluded. The transfer fee would be dedicated to community enhancements and housing affordability, and a specified amount would be earmarked to provide a permanent funding source for the Yampa Valley Housing Authority. Source: Steamboat 700

Townsend said it would take 35 years for those revenues streams to cover the big number. Councilman Jon Quinn said there is no way for city government to know with certainty whether all of the financial variables that affect those revenue generators will actually cover the figure. “The proposal has a great many assumptions in it — absorption rates, interest rates, inflation — if we accept a financial model, the city accepts the risks. What happens if the revenues run short?” Quinn asked. Townsend hesitated to say Steamboat 700 would cover any and all shortfalls and Councilwoman Cari Hermacinski countered. “This is a collaborative partnership. But how can the city turn around and accept that risk?” Hermacinski asked. “The fact remains that you guys are the entrepreneurs. If there’s a shortfall, it’s going to have to be absorbed by Steamboat 700.”

“Require a rec center,” Jameson urged. “If you don’t, I want to know what you expect the people to do. You’ve got a real problem.” ■ Former City Council President Ken Brenner: “I can’t find a wastewater treatment facility (in the list of capital improvements). Rifle has experienced growth from energy and had to expand its sewage plant. The cost was $23 million. That’s an enormous cost I don’t see addressed in here.” ■ Bill Moser asked, “Have you ever considered putting this before the residents in the form of a referendum? Because this is a major change of lifestyle of everyone in own and affects everyone — where you work, where you play.” Antonucci replied that City Council decided not to take an annexation question to voters because the West of Steamboat Springs Area Plan was the subject of many public hearings. ■ Steve Lewis asked, “If we start a petition drive to put it on the ballot, will the developer then have a chance to make changes to the plan?” City Attorney Tony Lettunich said the answer to that is “no.” The annexation would be ratified by an ordinance. Any ballot question would be worded to simply uphold or overturn the ordinance. Hermacinski reminded Lewis that the developers have voluntarily agreed that they would live with the state’s petition threshold of signatures equivalent to 10 percent of the electorate rather than the city’s 20 percent requirement.

Public speaks out Previous public hearings concerning the proposed annexation of Steamboat 700 have been lightly attended. However, 45 people, two former City Council presidents among them, came prepared to speak Tuesday night. ■ Bill Jameson argued that residents of 2,000 new homes someday could swamp existing city recreational facilities such as swimming pools and Howelsen Ice Arena.

MacArthur said he expected the town to reconsider using an online bidding system. “I think our point was made, and I think the town did a little more research and came to a different conclusion,” he said. But Haskins said that wasn’t yet decided. BidBridge saves municipalities an average of 10 percent on construction projects, Sisloff said. Haskins said Hayden officials would like to award the contract locally but have taxpayers’ priorities in mind. “Our job is not to have local contractors getting the job as it is to get the best deal for the town and have it done right,” Haskins said.

Technology, commodity shares gain; Dow ends flat NEW YORK

Investors are finding more than one way to bet on an improving economy. Stocks ended a quiet day mostly higher Tuesday as traders bought commodities and technology stocks. The increase in commodities reflects hopes that economic

activity will improve and boost the appetite for basic materials. A falling dollar also helped push commodity prices higher, and oil settled above $70 a barrel for the first time this year. Technology stocks increased as an improved profit forecast from chip maker Texas Instruments raised hopes that demand could also increase for electronics. Intel and Cisco Systems also have issued opti-

mistic comments recently, bolstering the case for technology shares. Analysts said the third consecutive day of modest moves in the market was a welcome sign after a 39.3 percent surge in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index from 12-year lows three months ago. Even if those gains continue to hold up, many market watchers doubt that the market will

continue to march ahead with anything like the conviction it showed this spring. “The next three months are just going to be a long, hot flat summer. I don’t see a catalyst,” said Scott Armiger, portfolio manager at Christiana Bank & Trust in Greenville, Del. The Dow Jones industrial average declined 1.43, or less than 0.1 percent, to 8,763.06. The broader S&P 500 index

increased 3.29, or 0.4 percent, to 942.43, and the technologyheavy Nasdaq composite index increased 17.73, or 1 percent, to 1,860.13. Robust demand at a government auction of three-year notes reassured investors who have worried in recent weeks that increasing interest rates would choke off a recovery by making it more expensive for consumers to get loans.

When Ken Prescott’s wife was struggling with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, he was stricken with many terrifying thoughts. One of the most difficult scenarios was how he could raise their two kids on his own. His worst fears never materialized, but he became aware that he was not the only one whose life has been affected by the pain of cancer. “In America, eight out of 10 families will be touched by cancer,” said Prescott, whose now ex-wife and kids live in Craig. “That makes it very personal for everyone.” This year, Prescott, a Hayden resident, will serve as the committee chair for Craig’s Third Annual Relay For Life,

Currently, there are 18 teams signed up; 40 teams participated last year.

But Craig has never not rallied around the Relay For Life.” Last year, Craig was ranked third in the nation for money raised in towns of a similar size. “Craig is a very giving, very close-knit community,” Prescott said. “And that is one of the beautiful things about this area.” The Craig event raised $103,000 last year, which went directly to the American Cancer Society to fund research, education, advocacy and patient services.

U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet says Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor is a “bright and downto-earth person” and that he’ll support her confirmation. Bennet, a Colorado Democrat, met with Sotomayor in Washington for about 25 minutes Tuesday. Sotomayor has been meeting with senators since last week and is keeping a busy pace despite breaking her ankle

eral bench in 1992, and President Bill Clinton elevated her to the appeals court in 1997. “She has more federal judicial experience than any other nominee in the last 100 years, but she’s very down-to-earth,” Bennet said in a telephone interview. The White House is pressing for her quick confirmation. Sotomayor would replace retiring Justice David Souter. Bennet initially had expressed support for Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to replace Souter before President Barack Obama chose Sotomayor.

We’re constantly fighting it.” Prescott has been involved with Relay For Life in some capacity since 1998. He has been a disc jockey at a total of 44 events across the Western Slope and is sitting as the committee chair for his first year. “A lot of cancer out there is preventable,” he said. “With education and awareness, we can find ways to prevent it by making healthier choices or detect it earlier while it’s more treatable.” Prescott set his goal for this year’s Relay at $50,000 and said he was confident it could be reached.

Tourism up with spending economy began to slump, the last year figures were available.

Audit: State pay better than private in Colorado DENVER

An audit says Colorado state employees make an average of 6 percent more than private-sector workers, but the review didn’t take into account the lower benefits the state offers. The audit by Fox Lawson and Associates, of St. Paul, Minn., was released Monday. The report didn’t measure state workers’ total compensation package, which includes insurance and other benefits. State personnel officials say that if the state’s less-generous benefits are factored in, Colorado employees make an average of 2 percent more than others. The audit criticized the way the state determines pay, noting the Department of Personnel and Administration measures how much of an increase various jobs get in the broader market, rather than what the actual pay was for those non-state workers.

State officials say Colorado tourism is up sharply after the state increased its marketing efforts — but state auditors question the figures. Lawmakers voted to increase state tourism spending from $5.4 million in 2004 to $25 million in 2008. Kim McNulty, director of the Colorado Tourism Office, said Tuesday the number of overnight trips to Colorado increased from 27 million in 2006 to 28 million in 2007. Overnight spending in the state increased from $8.9 billion in 2006 to $9.5 billion in 2007. State auditors said Tuesday it’s difficult to determine the impact of increased marketing because people visit Colorado for a variety of personal and business reasons. They also criticized the tourism office for not setting more measurable goals. “In many of these cases, it is difficult to determine whether the incentive to visit Colorado was prompted by the tourism office’s marketing efforts, such as an advertisement in a magazine, or by other factors, such as a family reunion, increased snowfall, lower airfare costs or the opening of a new state park,” auditors said. Auditors said the state received $13 for every dollar spent on marketing in 2003, which jumped to $18 the following year. However, it dropped back to $13 in 2007 when the

There were 13,859 new foodstamp applications in May, down from 16,578 in April, but total caseloads are still at an all-time high amid the recession. Several Front Range counties have fallen behind in getting people food stamps within 30 days, as required by federal law. There were 144,655 Colorado households receiving some sort of food assistance in May, up from 141,583 households in April.

10 banks to pay back $68B Large institutions approved to repay government bailout funds Daniel Wagner

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

Ten of the nation’s largest banks were given the green light Tuesday to repay $68 billion in government bailout money, freeing them from restrictions on executive compensation that they say are making it hard to keep their top-performing executives. The Treasury Department said the banks had been approved to repay the money they received from the Troubled Asset Relief Program created by Congress in October at the height of the financial crisis. Experts say allowing 10 banks

to return $68 billion in bailout money shows some stability has returned to the system but caution that the crisis isn’t over. And some fear the repayments could widen the gap between healthy and weak banks. All eight banks that took TARP money and last month passed government “stress tests” confirmed they received permission to repay the bailout funds. They are: JPMorgan Chase & Co., American Express, Goldman Sachs Group, U.S. Bancorp, Capital One Financial, Bank of New York Mellon, State Street and BB&T. Morgan Stanley did not pass the government test, but

Tuesday it said it had raised enough capital quickly and was approved to repay its TARP money. Northern Trust was not among the 19 banks subjected to stress tests, but the company said it also had received permission to repay the bailout funds. Speaking at the White House, President Barack Obama welcomed the news but said “this is not a sign that our troubles are over — far from it.” Stocks zigzagged after the Treasury’s widely expected announcement. In afternoon trading, the Dow Jones gained about 20 points. Broader stock averages also edged up.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ORLANDO, FLA.

Missing for two games, Orlando found its Magic touch. Making easy shots and tough ones from everywhere, the Magic won their first game in two visits to the NBA finals as Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis scored 21

points apiece in a 108-104 victory against the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 3 on Tuesday night to pull within 2-1. Orlando shot a finals record 63 percent — including another finals record 75 percent in the first half — to snap a six-game finals losing streak and avoid falling into an 0-3 hole that no team in postseason history has been able to escape.

Kobe Bryant, seeking a fourth title and his first since 2002, scored 31 points for the Lakers but the superstar had just 10 points in the second half and went only 4 of 15 from the field after the first quarter. He also missed five free throws, points that could have given the Lakers that 3-0 lead. See NBA Finals, page 28

No clincher by the Detroit Red Wings in Pittsburgh, not this time in Game 6. Marc-Andre Fleury wouldn’t let it happen as a wildly unpredictable Stanley Cup finals is now going the distance. Third-line teammates Jordan Staal and Tyler Kennedy gave the Penguins a two-goal lead, and MarcAndre Fleury held off the defending champion Red Wings repeatedly during a frantic third period as Pittsburgh beat Detroit, 2-1, on Tuesday night to tie the finals at three games. Game 7 is Friday night in Joe Louis Arena, where Detroit is 3-0 in the series but, as the oldest of NHL playoff adages goes, anything can happen when a single game determines who raises a silver trophy. Fleury, yanked during Detroit’s 50 blowout in Game 5, regrouped to make 25 saves and hold off the Red Wings, who are trying for their fifth Stanley Cup since 1997 but, if they win it, will do so without winning in Pittsburgh. The Red Wings won the Cup by taking Game 6 in Pittsburgh, 3-2, last year but were denied a second successive Cup clincher there, and on the 25th anniversary of one of the biggest days in Penguins’ history: the drafting of Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux in 1984. The Red Wings pushed around and punished Pittsburgh while winning, 5-0, in Game 5, a loss that not only embarrassed the Penguins but put them on the brink of elimination. But there’s been no place like home in these finals, the first since New Jersey beat Anaheim in 2002 in which the home team has won every game. The Penguins took advantage of the two-day break to regroup and, perhaps, to remember the frustration they felt in watching Detroit carry the Stanley Cup around Mellon Arena last June — the first team to do so since Pittsburgh gained an expansion franchise in 1967. Staal broke a scoreless tie that followed a Pittsburgh-dominated first See Stanley Cup, page 28

the power play twice. Penguins captain Sidney Crosby taped an NHL commercial last summer in which he watched the Red Wings celebrate wildly, then vows that it won’t happen again. In nearly identical circumstances, it didn’t as the Penguins forced the first Stanley Cup finals Game 7 in their 42year history. The Penguins were helped

along by a standing room crowd of 17,132 — the 118th consecutive sellout in the NHL’s oldest building — that chanted Fleury’s name at the start in an effort to support him after he was yanked in the second period Saturday. Staal’s goal was the key, just as his short-handed goal in Game 4 that started the Penguins on a three-goal flurry in less than six minutes and a 4-2 victory.

Although Sehler doesn’t anticipate the race being delayed or canceled by rain, she said she would wait as long as possible to make a final decision. “Just ’cause it’s raining in town,” she said, “doesn’t mean it’s raining out there.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

Game 4 is Thursday night, and Game 5 — now necessary — will be at Amway Arena on Sunday. With their season 48 minutes from all but disappearing,

the Magic, hosting their first finals game since 1995, had five players score at least 18 points. Rafer Alston, who was just 3 of 17 from the field in the first two games, had 20 and Hedo Turkoglu and Mickael Pietrus had 18 each.

“We’ve got to play like this,” Howard said about the balanced scoring. “When guys are attacking we’re tough to guard. “We moved the ball a lot tonight,” he said. “We got some good shots. We didn’t rush anything.” Pau Gasol scored 23 points but had just three rebounds, and the Lakers were only 16 of 26 from the line. For a while, it appeared the Magic, who shot just 36 percent while dropping Games 1 and 2 at Staples Center, couldn’t or wouldn’t miss. From 20 feet, swish. From 10 feet, nothing but net. Layups, runners, banks, pull-ups, didn’t matter. You name it, if it went up, more times than not it went in. “Well, it was going in the basket. That always works,” Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. “That formula’s always tried and true.”

Colorado tops Milwaukee, 3-2, to take sixth straight victory Chris Jenkins

MLB

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MILWAUKEE

Carlos Gonzalez had a pair of doubles, and the Colorado Rockies rallied for three runs in the seventh inning to continue their recent road resurgence, beating the Milwaukee Brewers, 3-2, on Tuesday night. The Rockies have won six straight on the road under recently named manager Jim Tracy — including their fourgame sweep of the Cardinals. Rockies starter Jason Hammel (3-3) gave up only two runs and five hits in six innings, but Colorado’s offense had a tough time scoring off of

Brewers starter Braden Looper. Trailing, 2-0, the Rockies finally broke through in the seventh, as back-to-back doubles by Troy Tulowitzki and Gonzalez cut the Brewers’ lead to 2-1. Looper left the game, and Gonzalez stole third base off of reliever Mark DiFelice. DiFelice got Chris Iannetta to pop out and was replaced by Todd Coffey, who walked pinch hitter Seth Smith. Coffey (1-1), who had been considered a solid addition to Milwaukee’s bullpen going into Tuesday’s game, then surrendered the lead when Clint

Barmes’ sacrifice fly to center scored Smith and put Colorado ahead 3-2. Mitch Stetter then came in to strike out Todd Helton and end the inning. Milwaukee couldn’t muster a baserunner after the fourth. Hammel left after six, Matt Daley and Manuel Corpas shut the Brewers down in the seventh and eighth, and Huston Street pitched the ninth for his 10th save. Looper gave up only two hits through the first four innings, then pitched out of jams in the fifth and sixth before the Rockies finally got to him in the seventh.

Beckett, Ortiz lift Red Sox past Yankees Jimmy Golen

MLB

BOSTON

Josh Beckett allowed only an infield hit in six innings, and David Ortiz hit his third homer of the year to lead the Boston Red Sox to a 7-0 victory against the New York Yankees on Tuesday night. The Red Sox improved to 6-0 against the Yankees franchise for the first time since 1912, when they beat the Highlanders in 14 straight — including the first-ever game in

Fenway Park. Beckett (7-2) struck out eight and walked two before leaving with a 6-0 lead after six innings, having thrown 93 pitches. The only hit he allowed was Robinson Cano’s fourth-inning grounder to the left of second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who dove to come up with the ball but couldn’t make the throw that had little chance of getting the batter anyway.

It was ruled a base hit by official scorer Mike Shalin. Beckett struck out Jorge Posada to end the inning, then retired the last six batters he faced, fanning three of them, for his third consecutive victory. In all, only three batters hit the ball out of the infield against him. A.J. Burnett (4-3) allowed three earned runs on five walks and five hits before leaving with two outs in the third and taking out his frustrations on a dugout watercooler.

Nationals select Strasburg Washington may struggle to sign talented prospect Mike Fitzpatrick

Drafting pitcher Stephen Strasburg was the easy part for the Washington Nationals. Signing him could be much more difficult. Strasburg was selected by the woeful Nationals with the first pick in baseball’s amateur draft Tuesday night, a move that was long expected. Considered one of the most talented prospects in the event’s 45-year history, the right-hander features a blazing fastball that’s been clocked at 102 mph — and some nasty breaking stuff, too. He went 13-1 with a 1.32 ERA this season for San Diego State, leading the Aztecs to their first postseason berth since 1991. “He’s a tremendous pitching package,” Nationals acting general manager Mike Rizzo said. “We weren’t going to pass on the best player in the draft.” But signing him might be a major challenge, because agent Scott Boras is sure to seek a record contract that easily exceeds the $10.5 million Mark Prior received after he was

MLB DRAFT drafted in 2001. Teams have until Aug. 15 to sign draft choices; otherwise, they lose their rights. Strasburg leads Division I pitchers with 195 strikeouts in 109 innings this year and was the only amateur on the U.S. Olympic team who won a bronze medal in Beijing last summer. He struck out 23 in a game against Utah last season and threw a no-hitter with 17 Ks against Air Force this year. Strasburg went undrafted out of high school, but some think he has the ability to go straight from college to the big leagues. “It’s tough to say right now,” Strasburg said in a phone interview on MLB Network. “We’ll see what happens.” One person who thinks it’s realistic is Strasburg’s coach at San Diego State, Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn. “I think he’s a lot closer than people think,” Gwynn said. “He’s got the kind of stuff, the kind of baseball savvy, he could be successful.” Rizzo, however, sounded con-

tent to let Strasburg develop at a steady pace. “There’s no shortcut process in this. It’s a process that we can’t rush,” Rizzo said. “As far as I’m concerned, there’s no pitcher or player that’s major league ready coming out of the draft. They’ve never experienced the wear and tear of a professional season.” With the second pick, the Seattle Mariners chose North Carolina slugger Dustin Ackley, who has batted at least .400 for three consecutive seasons. Also represented by Boras, Ackley has 22 home runs and 70 RBIs this year, helping North Carolina earn its fourth straight trip to the College World Series, which begins this weekend. Ackley played mostly first base for the Tar Heels as he recovered from elbow ligament replacement surgery this season. But his impressive speed makes him a candidate to switch to center field as a pro. “This is a guy we thought could be here in a short period of time,” Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik said. “We think this kid’s got a really nice future.”

Smith adjusting to life with Broncos Rookie cornerback learns from veterans in transitioning to NFL

Rookie cornerback Alphonso Smith’s college statistics are impressive: Seven interceptions for Wake Forest his senior year, tied for the most in Division I, plus 38 tackles. His junior year saw eight interceptions, three of them returned for touchdowns, one shy of the Division I record. Smith isn’t touting those stats at the Denver Broncos’ minicamp. The second-round pick is too busy trying to adapt, learning the playbook

and defensive schemes. “I’m still trying to adjust and compete on this level,” Smith said after Tuesday’s voluntary practice. “Hopefully, I’ll get there by the time training camp starts.” With Pro Bowlers like Brian Dawkins and Champ Bailey in the secondary, Smith doesn’t have to look far for role models. “Once you see guys like Champ and Andre (Goodman) and Brian do things, how they carry themselves on the field, how they carry themselves in the

film room and how they carry themselves around the facility, as a young guy you just need to watch and absorb what they’re doing,” he said. “Keep watching them, because there’s something you can learn every day.” Bailey, for instance, has shown him the rewards of patience. “As a corner, you have guys running at your toes, and as a rookie I kind of panicked a little bit because I never had someone running up on me so fast,” Smith said. “Just see Champ, how he never panics. He’s just so calm and so composed every time. I learned that from him. I try to take that from his game, try to add it to mine and just try to be a smaller Champ.” Smith wants to be fully versed in the Broncos’ defensive playbook before training camp starts next month. “My goal coming in was to try to catch up to speed with the veterans,” he said about the optional organized team activities, or offseason practices, teams are allowed in May and June. “I’m using OTAs to catch up and be able to compete with the veteran guys once training camp comes around.”
