Kade Green is visited by his grandfather after Kade, 8, was rescued from alongside Fish Creek under the upper falls Saturday afternoon. Rescuers still are searching for Kade’s mother, Rebecca Green, who fell in the water with Kade.
The search for 40-year-old Rebecca Green, of Steamboat Springs, resumes this morning after Green and her 8-year-old son, Kade, fell into Fish Creek below the upper falls Saturday. Kade suffered cuts on his head but was carried out by rescuers in stable condition Saturday afternoon. Green has been missing since going into the water at about 1 p.m. Saturday. Darrel Levingston, of Routt County Search and Rescue, said Green was hiking with her son, Kade, and daughter, Rachel, and
Rebecca Green’s father, who is visiting from Nebraska. “Kade had gotten out onto this rock (and) we just hollered at him to come back, and Rebecca went after him. And must have been he slipped and tumbled, and she tried to rescue him,” Green’s father said. “I saw her reaching for him, and that was it.” Hikers, friends of Green and rescue crews searched for Green up and down the upper part of Fish Creek on Saturday. She lives in Steamboat II with her children and husband, Rodney, a U.S. Merchant Marine who is in San Diego and expected to fly back today. Search and Rescue Incident Com-
mander Dawn Alperti said crews appreciated the help from the public during Saturday’s search but for safety reasons are not recruiting help today. Parts of the creek are not easily searchable by foot, so a swift water rescue team from Summit County is expected to arrive this morning to assist with the search. Routt County Search and Rescue crews were first paged at about 1:15 p.m. Saturday. Levingston said Kade did not remember going under the water but recalled going into the water at least once. Kade told Levingston

drian Egan is trying something new this year: awarding red, blue and orange tongues to eager youngsters at the Mainstreet Steamboat Springs Farmers Market. Egan’s Snocone stand is one of several firsttime features at the Saturday market on Sixth STORY BY Street. Like BLYTHE TERRELL other vendors, Egan is testing the waters and aiming to make a couple of bucks. He hopes to at least make back his startup costs. “It’s a couple grand, but you’ve got to take chances,” said Egan, who was laid off last winter. He tried to find a job this spring, but “this seemed like it was easier,” he said. Egan’s brother, who sells log furniture at the Farmers Market, encouraged him to set up shop. Those summer days get hot, he reasoned, and people dig Sno-cones. Egan plans to power his machine

setup allows writers a chance to hear their work for the first time. “It’s a very kind of intimate process, where a playwright gets to sit and listen to the performers, and the performers can, in many ways, inform you in ways that you can never quite imagine,” Leynse said. Rehearsals and readings of each play will be free and open to the public. Actors will deliver ticketed staged readings Friday through
By tonight, some of the brightest minds in the field of atmospheric science will have descended upon Steamboat Springs. More than 30 female scientists — from across the U.S. and as far as Denmark — will be in town until Wednesday for the Atmospheric Science Collaborations and Enriching NeTworks program. ASCENT was funded by a $300,000 National Science Foundation grant awarded to Gannet Hallar, director of Storm Peak Laboratory at the summit of Storm Peak. “One real goal for the program is to allow people to meet other women in the field, to network in a social setting,” she said. Bringing together women in atmospheric science was something Hallar said she started thinking about when she worked at NASA. There aren’t many women in atmospheric science, and at NASA, she said, she felt isolated because of that lack and the lack of younger scientists. There was no good place for her to turn for advice or to network, she said. Hallar said the program this week would provide those avenues for interaction to foster relationships for possible future collaboration. “Science is enhanced by diversity,” she said. “Atmospheric science and meteorology, for some
