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

New vendors test market Farmers Market started Saturday with 36 booths

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

Web chat to feature small-business owner A Small Business Administration-sponsored Web chat Thursday will consist of insights from small-business owner Luis Yepéz Jr. Yepéz is co-owner of Mainstream Global in Lawrence, Mass.

The company, a distributor of integrated circuits and computer products, was housed on the banks of the Merrimack and sustained severe water, debris and sewage damage. After losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in inventory, the company received a disaster loan from the SBA, which helped Mainstream Global stay in business. Yepéz is scheduled to give a chat called “Disaster Preparedness for Business Owners — An Inside Perspective.” He’ll take questions and offer advice. The chat is from 11 a.m. to noon Thursday, and participants can join the live chat by clicking the “Online Business Chat” icon at www.sba.gov.

Hypnotherapist Steve Jensen guides his wife, Gabrielle Savage, during a session in his downtown Steamboat Springs studio. Jensen uses hypnosis to get to the root of his patients’ problems, and he says he can help with symptoms including insomnia, smoking and anxiety.

Healers evoke spirit

Steamboat hypnotherapist, naturopathist help clients address problems

everal Steamboat Springs residents are creating a guide to holistic health businesses, compiling information about those who serve the mind, body and spirit. “Steamboat Bodyworks” will be available next month, said Josh Nass, who owns Park Range Publications, which STORY BY publishes HomeLink BLYTHE TERRELL magazine. The 32page booklet will include services such as massage, acupuncture and yoga. Steamboat is home to plenty of holistic-minded people, including hypnotherapist Steve Jensen and naturopathist Cammi Montieth. Jensen started on the track toward hypnotherapy about seven years ago. He works out of a backyard cottage, pulling the curtains to guide clients who want to quit smoking, ditch insomnia or stop eating compulsively. Those are all symptoms of subconscious issues, Jensen said. “In order to deal with coping mechanisms, we get to the root of the problem and address the cause,” he said. People spend most of their days in subconscious behavior — 80 percent, he estimated. They spend less, about 15 percent, consciously performing behaviors. Jensen tries to open a window to people’s subconscious. “It’s really critical that somebody has an idea of what they’re getting into,” Jensen said.

Steamboat Springs residents are planning a holistic health guide called “Steamboat Bodyworks” to provide information about the mind and body. “Steamboat Bodyworks” will be available next month and will be mailed to everyone in Routt County.

He started his Steamboat practice six months ago. He also helps people with regression, which involves re-experiencing situations that led them to certain feelings or behaviors. Jensen then aims to re-form those experiences to create a different result.

More information The “Steamboat Bodyworks” guide will be available next month at www.steamboatbodyworks. com. It will be mailed to everyone in Routt County. Hypnotherapist Steve Jensen can be reached at 819-4249, and Elite Wellness can be reached at 879-7277.

With online education and virtual classrooms becoming more popular, an Englewoodbased company is helping to bridge the gap between homebased education and laboratory experience. Hands-On Labs, through a product line called LabPaqs, has adapted laboratory experiments to a smaller scale that fits in a cardboard box and can be mailed to students. The company recently relocated to a larger facility to accommodate its rapid growth and has struck a deal with a major publisher. LabPaq products range from micro-chemistry sets to kits that allow students to dissect fetal pigs in their kitchens. “When you do science, it’s the reaction, not the size of the reaction, that’s important,” said LabPaqs co-creator Linda Jeschofnig. “Here, you can only have poofs, not kabooms.” Hands-On Labs recently moved to a new 28,500-squarefoot facility in Englewood, quadruple the size of its old building. It expects to do $4 million in sales this year, compared with $8,500 when it launched in 1994. More than 80 course-specific LabPaqs are offered in subjects that include chemistry, anatomy and geology. Professors assign them the same as textbooks, and students buy them online. Jeschofnig said 20,000 LabPaqs will be shipped this year. “On many college campuses, labs are so crowded, and you only have a limited amount of time,” Jeschofnig said. “An off-campus environment usually gives you that space and flexibility.” Jeschofnig and her husband, Peter, came up with the idea for LabPaqs while both were teaching at Colorado Mountain College in Leadville. Together, they saw there was a demand for their creation and decided to go into business.

Sweet Pea plans produce stand near Ace Owners to begin operations in July on west end of town if they win city approval Blythe Terrell

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Sweet Pea Market plans to make a stand on the western end of town. Owners Jonathon Hieb and Katherine Zambrana want to sell produce in a grassy spot across the parking lot from TIC and Mountain Valley Bank, near Ace at the Curve. They plan to open the stand daily starting July 8, if they get Steamboat Springs City Council approval. “I’ve always wanted to do it,” Hieb said. “I think that, MATT STENSLAND/STAFF Sweet Pea Market employee Jules that end of town is very busy, Poma shucks fresh garlic Saturday at the and there’s a lot of people that Mainstreet Farmers Market. Sweet Pea own- live on that end of town that ers Jonathon Hieb and Katherine Zambrana don’t necessarily want to come want to open a stand near Ace at the Curve. downtown.”

Sweet Pea owners also are interested in seeing how the experiment works. Hieb raised the possibility of adding stands in the Front Range, too. He also wants to make life easier for people who live in western Steamboat. “We’re really big on listening to our customers, and we get a lot of customers who say, ‘I wish you had something down on that end of town; we hate driving into town,’” he said. Hieb also is taking into account the possibility for development. He said he’s kept an eye on the Steamboat 700 discussion. “I know the city at one point was requiring them to have a grocery store at that end of town,” Hieb said. “I

don’t know if the big guys like City Market and Safeway are interested in having two stores in town, but maybe we could fill that niche.” The Steamboat Springs Planning Commission is scheduled to review Sweet Pea’s application June 25, Senior Planner Jonathan Spence said. That panel will make a recommendation to the City Council. City staff members expect the commission to give the go-ahead, Spence said. Mountain Valley Bank controls the land, which Sweet Pea would rent, Hieb said. Ace Store Manager Scott Schlapkohl said he was excited about the prospect of having a produce stand nearby. “I think it will be great for the

west end of town,” Schlapkohl said. “I’m looking forward to having it as a draw for our business. Downtown, those guys do a nice job.” The proposal probably will end up on the City Council’s consent calendar at its July 7 meeting. If all goes well, Hieb plans to open July 8. He hasn’t figured out what the stand will be called or what its hours will be. The stand will accept cash, credit cards and checks, he said. “Our plan is to open every day, and I’m kind of thinking around 9 a.m. until 6 p.m.,” Hieb said. “But anything new like this you really just let things happen organically.”

This weekend brought the first Mainstreet Steamboat AT ISSUE Springs Farmers Market and the Recreation first Triple Crown event of the on the summer to Steamboat Springs Yampa River — two signs of the season heating up that also mean residents and visitors are eager to enjoy the with weather valley’s most valuable resource. Kayakers, boaters and anglers OUR VIEW have been on the river for weeks, Respect taking advantage of strong runthe Yampa off fueled by recent rains. But all that runoff means campaign the water still is churning fast deserves and cold — the Yampa is first praise for and foremost a wild river, and encouraging the fast-flowing water should all to use the remind all to use the proper river safely, safety equipment, such as life jackets and helmets, on the responsibly. water. As of Saturday afternoon, the Yampa was flowing at more than 1,600 cubic feet per second past the Fifth Street Bridge in downtown Steamboat Springs. Although that’s below the historical June 13 average of about 2,000 cfs, it’s still well above the 700 cfs that is often used as a guideline for the beginning of local tubing season. As more recreational users take to the water, there are common sense steps — such as not littering — we all can take as stewards of our local river and waterways. “Litter, to me, is the overwhelming detriment to the river, and the things that encourage litter are alcohol use, and people going down the river, and they don’t really know any better,” Peter Van De Carr, owner of Backdoor Sports and member of the Respect the Yampa campaign, said last week. “They don’t know you can’t take litter on the river because chances are very good you’re going to get upset, and you’re going to get dumped over” and spill trash. Members of the Respect the Yampa campaign are distributing fliers to sellers of tubes in an attempt to urge tubers to follow river regulations. We understand that Colorado law allows public floating of rivers, provided there is no trespassing to access the water and users don’t touch the bottom, and that as a result the free use of rivers is a controversial issue. But we appreciate Respect the Yampa’s efforts to encourage stewardship of the river and urge all river users to familiarize themselves with regulations outlined by the Steamboat Springs Parks, Open Space and Recreational Services Department and by the 2004 Yampa River Management Plan. The 2004 plan calls for no tubing access upstream of Fetcher Park and no access at River Creek Park or Rotary Park. Tubers may park vehicles in the limited spaces at Fetcher Park to put in downstream or at Howelsen Hill. For pickup, tubers are encouraged to park at the Stock Bridge Transit Center. It is up to all of us to protect and preserve our river, which is an incredible draw and resource for locals and visitors. Common sense steps such as eliminating your trash on the river and respecting everyone’s right to the water can go a long way toward making the Yampa River an enjoyable resource for all.

COMMENTARY

The waterboarding of Old Town Kevin Bennett

SPECIAL TO THE PILOT & TODAY

To my fellow Old Town water users, meaning everyone west of Fish Creek: So you got your new water bill? How do you like it so far? Wait until the rain stops. You now pay, on average, about three times as much for the same water and sewer as your neighbors to the east of Fish Bennett Creek, in the Mount Werner Water and Sanitation District. As it currently stands, this is only the beginning. Old Town residents and businesses will be the only group responsible for providing water to the proposed new massive annexation known as Steamboat 700. Remember, when it comes

to water, only Old Town is annexing. The mountain area water rates, tap and monthly, will never be affected. How did we get to be a town so divided when it comes to paying for water? The simple answer: aging infrastructure, years of subsidies from Old Town to Mount Werner and the “empty condo subsidy.” The latter is the most important reason — the subsidy comes from Mount Werner billing empty condos at base rates. With one of two condos empty all the time, this results in a considerable subsidy to the Mount Werner system. To date, this unique situation has been the exclusive asset of Mount Werner Water and is the foundation for their record low water and sewer rates. To its credit, however, the new Mount Werner board has taken significant conservation

changes and shows signs of being less predatory than the past boards. That explains the past. But why the 50 percent rate increase on Old Town this year? When developers pay tap fees on new construction, the money typically goes into a reserve for future expansion of the water system. With all of the new construction in Old Town, the current reserve should contain millions of dollars, but Steamboat Springs City Council allowed the reserve to be drawn down to almost nothing, about $15,000. The practice of draining reserves for maintenance is a poor way to run a water district. That the current council was unaware they were draining the fund until the fund was dry really concerns me. The council’s only remedy so See Bennett, page 5A

Pixilated over pixels Maureen Dowd

THE NEW YORK TIMES

WASHINGTON

Women are faking it in bedrooms all over America. “When my husband says, ‘Can you believe how much better this is?’ I say, ‘Yes, honey, it’s amazing,”’ one woman told me. “I really don’t see that much difference, but he’s so happy, I just pretend to.” As an explosion of pixels hits our Dowd TV screens this weekend, with the digital and high-def revolution, my unscientific survey shows women are less excited about high-def than men. I prefer life and TV to be a little gauzy. I don’t want to see every blemish in a harsh light. Joel Brinkley, the author of “Defining Vision,” says HDTV technology was developed totally by men. Alfred Poor, author of the HDTV Almanac, says men drove its success, too. “Men are all about the bigger, better, more,” he said. “And sports are infinitely better in high definition.” The advent of sleek flat screens began to shrink the gen-

der gap. “Women went, ‘Ah, now it’s not just high-def, it’s a stylish piece of furniture,’” said Phillip Swann, founder of the Web site TVPredictions.com, which features lists of HDTV “horribles” (Cameron) and “honeys” (Angelina). Everywhere I look, products are being pitched for a world in keener focus. At my eye exam last week, Dr. Jay Klessman used “Wavefront” technology, which he said could “make sort of like high-def glasses, with sharper, crisper vision.” (It was originally used to fix blurry images from the Hubble Space Telescope in 1993 and also has led to more precise Lasik.) At the Georgetown Sephora, a big sign in the window hawks high-def makeup to use with the Sephora High Definition Air Brush. The point, said a Sephora “product expert,” Jei Spatola, is to look “like you literally have nothing on.” In a high-def culture, we have to wear more makeup to look like we have on no makeup. Armani offers “Lasting Silk” foundation, “a new high-definition cosmetic textile.” “Obviously, if you are on HDTV, that’s great,” said Mara Stimac of Armani. “But we’re

of the mind that there’s no more true HD than real life.” Yet concealing cannot keep up with revealing. “The red carpet looks different,” said Jeffrey Cole, the director of the Annenberg School’s Center for the Digital Future at USC. “Actresses in particular have come to hate HDTV.” Don Malot, a top L.A. makeup artist who works with television and movie stars, says high-def is turning Tinseltown topsy-turvy. “People who thought they looked younger on camera than in real life see themselves in highdef and say, ‘Oh my God!”’ he said. “We can’t use the heavy makeup that used to cover flaws like a drinker’s broken capillaries any more.” He said television actresses in their 40s and older are starting to insist that their contracts say they have to be shot slightly out of focus. “It’s getting rarer to see tight shots of a woman’s face,” he said. “Now the camera guys shoot from the waist up.” He said that “sadly” women are going to their doctors for more cosmetic fixes and gallons See Dowd, page 5A

President Barack Obama claims to “have no interest” in running General Motors. But his actions, as well as his words, betray him. The significance of the bankruptcy and restructuring of General Motors isn’t that it happened but the way it happened. His protestations notwithstanding, this is Obama’s General Motors. Just read from his statement earlier this month: ■ “Two months ago … I laid out what needed to be done to save two of America’s most storied automakers.” ■ “I made it clear that I would not put any more tax dollars on the line if it meant perpetuating the bad business decisions that had led these companies to seek help in the first place.” ■ “I decided, then, that if GM and Chrysler and their stakeholders were willing to sacrifice … then the United States government would stand behind them.” Which is more absurd — his implication that he is the embodiment of the U.S. government or that a former community organizer, part-time lawyer, part-time lecturer, part-time author and full-time politician knows beans about running the nation’s largest automaker? Then again, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid scolded the auto execs in the fall for flying — instead of crawling — to D.C. to ask for a government bailout and then arrogantly demanded that they come back when they have a “viable plan.” Not that it’s ridiculous to demand a viable plan. What’s ridiculous is the assumption that the speaker, the majority leader and most other Beltway politicians could recognize a viable plan for a 25-cent lemonade stand — much less a multi-billiondollar auto company. Remember, the reason government is funded by taxes is because it produces almost nothing that people will pay for willingly. It wasn’t necessary for President Obama to interject himself into these proceedings. As Commentary magazine columnist Jennifer Rubin points out, GM and Chrysler have had bankruptcy attorneys working on those plans for months. “Why make this all about the president throwing his weight around and personally firing the head of a major corporation?” she asks. The simplest explanation is that Obama wants these details signed, sealed and delivered to prevent their scrutiny in a court of law where, for example, the United Auto Workers Union would not get preference over holders of secured corporate bonds. As Hans Bader points out on OpenMarkets.org, “the UAW will receive at least 10 times as much value as the bondholders even though the bondholders are owed more ($27 billion vs. $20 billion). This is neither legal nor fair.” Which brings us to President See Hillman, page 5A

Too much building Does not take an intelligent person to see that Steamboat is building itself into disaster. OK. We get these 2,000-plus homes built, sold and then occupied. Where are the people going to work? With no jobs in our valley, how are they going to support their homes and families? Do we want industry in our county? — justice4all

700 and taxes No matter how much we squeeze the 700 project, the end result will be passed on and it will end up as a tax on the community. This allows the leaders to stand up and demand from 700, concessions that they can hold up as trophies, when in reality they are imposing more taxes. No free ride! — Fred Duckels

City can’t take risk Council has it so right — the city cannot take on the potential future funding shortfalls. (Steamboat) 700 is talking 35 years of financing?

This week: If it were put to a public

vote today, would you support annexing the proposed Steamboat 700 development into city limits? I do sympathize with the investors behind 700. The land use plans on paper are really good. But we now have a large inventory of residential units for sale, and absorption rates are going to be low for a while. The math looks bad. My concern is that the short-term profit of their investment is becoming more and more reliant on the infrastructure and service costs (mill-levy taxes) they will hand off to future 700 residents. — Steve Lewis

Cyclists need to obey laws I, too, am a cyclist and am mortified when I see riders blatantly disobey traffic laws. I’d single out the riders on “cruisers” also. Although the bike lane striping on Oak Street is a help, I believe that stop and lane lines on our highly traveled roads are more essential. More people drive cars than ride bicycles. I own two auto-

Global warming thoughts Oxygen consumption at ground level has nothing to do with the ozone layer. Protecting the ozone layer is all about stopping certain gases such as CFCs from reaching the ozone layer where they break down the ozone layer. And the CO2 and other greenhouse gases have major effects on the climate at concentrations far below atmospheric oxygen. The suggestion that we have burned off oxygen that will take billions of years for photosynthesis to replace is simply wrong. We are not going to run out of oxygen. The idea that we face extinction in 60 years is not widely held. Surface temp

and climate may be a few degrees warmer, which would have major climate and ecological effects, but it does not threaten us with extinction. It might make us a lot poorer as agricultural regions become less productive and so on. — Scott Wedel

of Botox, but that high-def acts almost like an X-ray to show the slightly bluish tinge of some fillers or the lumpy bumps and ripples from fillers and surgery. MSNBC’s luminous Norah O’Donnell went to New York to do a promo in high-def, in advance of unveiling new sets designed, colored and angled with HD in mind. “I was wearing a nice dress,”

she recalled, “and standing there saying, ‘MSNBC is the place for politics’ when the production had to be stopped because there was a spot on my dress that was invisible to the naked eye or the wardrobe guy with the lint brush or the director who didn’t have an HDTV set. “The promotion folks saw it looking through the HD camera at the HD screen,” she said. “It’s impossible to achieve that level of perfection. But

people like authenticity. And if it means they see more of my wrinkles and freckles, and where I tried to wipe clean where my kid spit up on my shoulder, so be it.” David Shuster, another MSNBC anchor, says the growing prevalence of high definition is disorienting for men, too. When he started shooting his HD promo, he was asked to take his pants off so they could steam the creases. And they

dulled his shiny shoes, which were picking up green tones from the green screen. Now he’s dreading high-def five o’clock shadow. As the CBS White House reporter Bill Plante said, “You go in knowing every mole and random facial hair will be visible to somebody watching closely.” I didn’t get the high-def glasses. I don’t want more acuity. I’m keeping it fuzzy.

GM hinges on politicians Council creating problems Hillman continued from 4A Obama’s oft-repeated claim that his decisions are guided by the way they “affect the daily realities of people’s lives.” Well, the ordinary folks whose retirement or savings were ravaged by automakers’ plummeting stock prices are suffering doubly from Obama’s devastating policy to force them to take pennies on the dollar if their portfolio also included GM bonds, which were once considered relatively safe. By contrast, the very labor unions whose bloated benefits and anachronistic job protection schemes put GM at a competitive disadvantage are now rewarded with nearly $10 billion and 17.5 percent ownership in the company. While Obama says UAW

will be required to make “painful sacrifices,” the union boasts that its members will see no reduction in ‘base hourly pay, no reduction in … health care, and no reduction in benefits.” Might the $13 million that UAW spent on last year’s election have tipped the scales in its favor? Heavens, no! So, GM hinges its recovery on the marketing genius of politicians who gave us Medicare, Social Security, Amtrak, a 3.4-million-word tax code and $11.3 trillion in debt. Mark Hillman served as Colorado Senate majority leader and state treasurer. He is an honorary member of the Conservative Leadership Council of Northwest Colorado. To read more or comment, go to www.

Bennett continued from 4A far has been to raise rates on Old Town. But even this won’t be enough. Old Town water users face more rate increases to rebuild dollar reserves in an aging infrastructure and to replenish the reserves that result from years of ridiculously low tap fees. But that’s not all. Factored into the city of Steamboat Springs’ new rate study are the needs for 2,044 new houses the council may annex. So hold onto your wallet, my fellow Old Towners, you now have the privilege of subsidizing an entire new town. Not just when you pay tap fees, but every month. The entire off-site infrastructure for Steamboat 700 will be part of these increases now and over the years. Remember, only Old Town pays.

The first principle of running a water district is: Do no harm. But giving more than 900 acre-feet of our pristine city water to this new development, while not requiring any contribution of “wet water rights” from the developer, violates that principle. There are many alternatives to raising rates continuously on the same people. This council has not explored or even discussed other options. It appears this council has no time to focus on current problems because it is too busy creating future ones. Kevin Bennett is a longtime Steamboat Springs resident and former president of Steamboat Springs City Council, during which time he developed expertise about the city’s water supply and its treatment and delivery system.

Immigrants conduct forum

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NORTHGLENN

A standing-room crowd of more than 600 people heard immigrant families, including those separated by deportation proceedings, discuss their challenges at an immigration forum Saturday. The event at Immaculate Heart of Mary church was part of a national Familias Unidas tour led by Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., to highlight stories of immigrant families. Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., asked Gutierrez to come to Colorado as part of the tour. Before the forum started, Polis said he supports comprehensive reform to give immigrant workers who stay out of trouble a legal way to work in the country.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The congressmen heard from Boulder High School teacher Michelle Carpenter, who said some of her undocumented students have had to put off college because they do not qualify for cheaper in-state tuition. Joshua Garcia, 12, sobbed as he talked about coming home from school one day to find out immigration officers had taken his father to a detention center. He and his 15-year-old brother, Stephen, are U.S. citizens, but their parents, who run their own businesses, have been in deportation proceedings. “My dad worked really hard to make his business. He worked hard to give us a better life than he had in El Salvador. He’s the kind of person we all want in this country,” Joshua said as the audience, many waving small American flags, cheered.

“I don’t understand a system that would take my dad away from me and my mom and the rest of our family,” Joshua said. Archbishop Charles Chaput, of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Denver; a Jewish rabbi; a Muslim imam and pastors spoke about the need to care for neighbors and those whom they said no one else defends. Chaput said he and Polis disagree about a number of issues but agree on the need for immigration reform. He said many illegal immigrants abide by the law, play a vital role in the economy with their labor and simply want a better life for their families but have few legal protections. “We can’t ignore people in need, and we won’t be quiet about laws that don’t work,” Chaput said.

They’re not so crazy about kinetic art contests in Boulder anymore. This year’s 30th annual festival Kineticists Challenge and Exhibition drew only about 100 people. Organizers say the contest drew thousands in years past. Kineticists make movable art, and in the Boulder festival they race their whimsical creations through an obstacle course. Some at this year’s challenge were dressed as pigs, T-bone steaks, sumo wrestlers and watermelons.

Authorities are investigating the discovery of a body in an apple orchard near Glenwood Springs but have released no information about the identity of the victim. Garfield County Sheriff Lou Vallario says authorities are treating the death as a homicide. He says a worker found the body Friday morning under some apple trees in an orchard about 5 miles west of Glenwood Springs. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation is helping with the investigation. Authorities have not released the gender or age of the victim. The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel and KREX-TV are reporting that the body was that of a young girl and that she was in a bag, but authorities have not confirmed their reports.

They get closer and more in tune with each other.” The artists can stay for a couple of days or several weeks, Colley said. In most studios, they would have to use a motel or hotel and come in each day to work, he said. “This building was dedicated to artists who really want to concentrate on their art and write and record music,” Colley said.

Rather than being located in an industrial zone where rent is cheap, Backbone Studio sits on 3 acres with a view of the Rocky Mountains. Named for the Devil’s Backbone rock formation that can be seen from the front door, the studio is an analog and digital production facility with video and monitoring capabilities. Musicians can record, mix, master and produce individual songs and albums in a traditional or live studio setting. They have access to a wide selection of vintage and contemporary gear,

including instruments, amplifiers and microphones. “We wanted that private, getaway destination type of facility,” said Greg Colley, studio owner and a recording engineer who plays guitar. “We’re trying to give the artist a place to concentrate.” Backbone has two studio rooms and a sky loft. Studio A, the main recording area, is a 1,200-square-foot, acoustically balanced studio with 20-plus-foot ceilings and moveable acoustic partitions. Studio B, which spans 1,600 square feet and has 14-foot ceilings, is used for live and full-band recordings. The sky loft, an apartment

Routt County Search and Rescue volunteer Glen Hammond checks Kade Green’s vitals.

MATT STENSLAND/STAFF

8-year-old Kade Green suffers lacerations to his head that after falling into the creek, he was able to grab a branch and pull himself out on the other side. “If that branch had broken, he wouldn’t have made it,” Levingston said. “Someone was looking out for him.” Two rescuers, emergency medical technicians Krista CheckHill and Jim Linville, broke trail and hiked along the far side of the raging creek for about half an hour to reach Kade at about 2:45 p.m. Kade was very cold, wet and alone, rescuers said. Onlookers could see Kade along the creek and were able to throw him some dry clothes before rescuers arrived. While the EMTs stabilized Kade, crews set up a highline rope system to bring him back

across the creek. As Search and Rescue President Russ Sanford put Kade in a harness, Kade and rescuer Krista Check-Hill gave a thumbs up before Kade’s ride across the creek. “I was just telling him about how much fun this was and how he’s going to be in the paper,” Sanford said. Kade was safely on the other side of the creek by 5:10 p.m. He had lacerations to his head but was alert and talkative as rescuers brought him down the trail. “All that practice paid off,” Sanford said about the rescue effort. “I’m very proud of the team.” The Fish Creek area will be closed during the search today.

Studies show that a diverse group working to solve a problem, it’s easier to solve than with people from the same backgrounds.” Participants will attend lectures by notable women in the field. The keynote speaker is Kimberly Sullivan, of Utah State University. Her interests include animal behavior, ornithology and women in science. Breakout sessions will address issues Hallar said some women may not want to address in front of men, such as what to look for in a job, how to apply, how to negotiate or transition-

ing to a different career. Social events also are scheduled. Hallar said the program also will pair a senior scientist with a junior scientist for mentoring. The scientists also have prepared posters to share their research with the others. And with more than 30 scientists from all across the country in Steamboat for three days, Hallar invited a Hayden High School student and Hayden Middle School teacher to attend Tuesday’s events. Because she wanted to keep it local, Hallar said participants will be taken to Storm Peak Laboratory, Fish Creek Falls, local hot springs and Catamount Ranch. “We’re taking the time to let

Hallar said that during the duration of the three-year grant, she’d like to create a media piece and information packet that could be distributed to chairpeople of university departments and directors of atmospheric science programs. The packet would be designed to help encourage women to enter atmospheric science and others to stay in the field. She said 50 percent of the women in the field leave by the time they’re 35.

New Works Festival has all female writers, composers New Works continued from 1A 20030561

June 21. The 12th annual festival’s lineup includes three plays: “The Bone Orchard,” by Elyzabeth Gregory Wilder, an up-and-coming playwright who has done commissions for the Denver Center; “Poor Behavior,” by Theresa Rebeck, who has been a writer and producer for several television shows and feature films; and “Bottom of the World,” by Lucy Thurber, whose play “Scarcity” opened the 2007-08 Atlantic Theater Co. season. With choreographer Brown added to the performance list, this is the first year the New Works Festival has featured all female writers and composers.

become involved and see what goes on and how things develop,” Steinberg said. At first, that meant one playwright would come to PerryMansfield with a work in hand, and the students and faculty would help prepare the piece. Now, the festival matches selected playwrights with institutions from across the country to bring full casts to the Strawberry Park campus at the beginning of each summer. “It’s a great opportunity for folks in Steamboat Springs to see … how theater is developed, but also to see things in their infancy before they go on to other things,” Steinberg said. New Works Festival plays have a strong track record of going into full production within a year or two of leaving PerryMansfield. “A lot of the things that we do get produced very shortly thereafter, which is a great testament to our artistic director and the artistic directors of our companies, because there are a lot of plays that never see the light of day,” Steinberg said.

Several booths away, Catherine Beattie peddled a different beverage that’s a tougher sell: boba tea. The milky, cold beverage contains small balls of tapioca. Beattie described it as “yummy and fun.” The stay-at-home mother of two and her husband have lived in Steamboat for about a year. Her 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. stint at the market was the longest she’d been away from her two sons, who are 2 years old and four months old. A photo of the pair sat on her table. Beattie loves boba tea, which she said isn’t available in Steamboat. People who like it were thrilled to see her booth, she said. Others took some convincing. “It’s definitely hard to get people to try something new,” Beattie said. She plans to run her booth next weekend and again at the end of summer. The market is a great opportunity to sell her wares without risk, Beattie said. “I don’t have to have a storefront or a place to have a business to do this,” she said. “I get a lot of people coming through here.”

Hospitals wary of Medicare cuts WASHINGTON

President Barack Obama said Saturday that he wants to help pay for his health care overhaul by slowing Medicare and Medicaid spending, but hospitals, medical technicians and others are resisting. The high-stakes struggle for medical care is heating up as Obama declares the status quo unacceptable. The president suggests trimming federal payments to hospitals by about $200 billion during the next 10 years, saying greater efficiencies and broader insurance coverage will justify the change. Hospitals, especially those with many poor patients,

say the proposed cuts are unfair and would harm the sick and elderly. Congress ultimately will shape the new laws. Obama is urging lawObama makers to be bold and to resist powerful lobbies trying to maintain their clout and profits. “Americans are being priced out of the care they need,” Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address. Obama said high health care costs hurt the entire economy and contribute to the nearly 50 million people who lack coverage. His address focused on payments to Medicare and Medicaid, which cover millions

of elderly and low-income people and involve thousands of doctors, hospitals, nursing homes and other institutions. He proposed cutting $313 billion from the programs during 10 years. That’s in addition to the $635 billion “down payment” in tax increases and spending cuts in the health care system that he announced earlier. Together, Obama’s plans would provide $948 billion throughout a decade in savings and/or tax increases to help insure practically everyone and to slow the rate of soaring health care costs. The president wants to cut $106 billion during 10 years from payments that help hospitals treat uninsured people. Spending on Medicare prescription drugs

would decline by $75 billion in a decade. And slowing projected increases in Medicare payments to hospitals and other providers — but not doctors — would save $110 billion during 10 years, the president said. Obama called them “commonsense changes,” though he acknowledged that many details must be resolved. Some powerful industry groups called the proposals unwise and unfair. “Payment cuts are not reform,” Rich Umbdenstock, president of the American Hospital Association, said even before Obama’s plan was announced. His group is urging hospitals with large proportions of low-income patients “to push back on proposed cuts.”

700,000 callers phone digital TV hot line Ryan Nakashima

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES

Nearly 700,000 calls were received by a federal hot line this week from people confused about the nationwide move Friday to drop analog TV signals and broadcast only in digital. The Federal Communications Commission said about 317,450 calls went into the help line, 1-888-CALL-FCC, on Friday alone, the day analog signals were cut off. That’s far less than the 600,000 to 3 million callers that the FCC expected in early March would call on transition day. The move to all-digital was delayed from Feb. 17, and

ramped up efforts at spreading the word is credited with roughly halving the number of unprepared households since then. Nielsen Co. put the number of unready homes at 2.8 million, or 2.5 percent of the total TV market, as of June 7. FCC Acting Chairman Michael Copps said Saturday that if it were baseball, the digital transition now is closer to home plate. “We’re safe on third right now,” he said. He added that thousands of FCC staff would continue to answer phones and help people whose TVs no longer work properly, at least through June. “We all need a bit of patience and perseverance,” he said. “This is a momentous change, and it’ll

take time to get it right.” Dozens of mostly Hispanic TV watchers visited and called the Mercy Center, a community center in the Bronx, N.Y., to get more help. A staff of three has been on hand seven days a week for the past month. “Up to now, it’s been people wanting the equipment,” said Judith Criado, the director of education at the center. “Today, everyone who has called has the equipment, but they just don’t know how to actually see the channels.” About a third of Friday’s calls to the FCC still were about federal coupons to pay for digital converter boxes, an indication that at least 100,000 people still didn’t have the right

equipment to receive digital signals. Another third of the calls were handled by live agents, and 30 percent of those were about how to operate the converter boxes. The FCC said most of the converter box questions were resolved when callers were told to re-scan the airwaves for digital frequencies. More than 20 percent of the live calls were about reception issues. Antennas can be fickle, because digital signals travel differently than analog ones. A weakly received analog channel might be viewable through some static, but channels broadcast in the digital language of ones and zeros generally are all or nothing.

Jensen: People needing help often deal with self-esteem issues Often, people who need help are dealing with self-esteem issues, he said. “What most of us deal with is forgiveness of ourselves,” Jensen said. “Inevitably, I find most people have low self-esteem.” His wife, Gabrielle Savage, said hypnotherapy helped her overcome insomnia. Anxiety made it difficult for her to sleep. Savage’s hypnotherapist almost gave her permission to sleep, she said. The therapy didn’t eliminate stress in her life, she said. “I can still have a ton on my mind and go to sleep at 10. … It’s helped me tremendously,” Savage said.

That’s kind of the idea, Jensen said. “Hypnotherapy doesn’t cure anything,” he said. “It simply helps people cope with their issues.” Montieth also helps people deal with problems and concerns. She runs Elite Wellness on Lincoln Avenue near Trafalgar Drive. Her practice includes nutritional counseling, reflexology and massage. Montieth also uses a BioMeridian machine, which she said measures people’s wellness so she can determine which supplements they need. The machine evaluates the body’s electrical circuits to check for issues with allergies, hormones

and digestion, for example, she said. “The great thing about it is that it’s very specific for each person,” Montieth said. Mary Beth Norris said she has gone to Elite Wellness for about two years and that she’s pleased with the outcome. Montieth has helped her stay on track and healthy, Norris said. “She’s great, very comfortable to be with, a very knowledgeable, very bright woman and really believes in what she’s doing,” she said. Norris said she believed in the power of holistic health. “I’ve had acupuncture and massage therapy,” she said.

“There’s some great healers in our community.” Nass said he wanted the “Steamboat Bodyworks” guide to connect the community with holistic health businesses and practitioners to each other. “It’s going to be an easy spot to find everybody,” he said.

He’s scheduled to go before the Steamboat Springs Planning Commission on June 25 seeking a development permit that would allow him to operate a produce stand on a piece of undeveloped ground in the Curve Plaza commercial center close to Ace at the Curve on the city’s west side. Hieb said he is interested in testing the market in West

However, she says, it’s nothing like a flip. “I won’t make any money off it at that price,” Kim Kreissig said. “I’ve never been emotionally attached to a real estate project before, but this one really tugs at me.” Rollingstone Village would be built in a stand of trees along Fish Creek that is almost immediately behind the Safeway grocery store at U.S. Highway

40 and Pine Grove Road. Although the property is close to three large commercial centers between downtown and the ski mountain, it feels relatively secluded to visitors on foot. The project as approved is planned for 61 condominiums and seven commercial spaces comprising more than 100,000 square feet. It also includes 33,000 square feet of open space. The Kreissigs, who have successfully developed several condominium projects, as well as large homes, paid previous owner Jim Selbe $5.75 million for the property in 2007. They also have broken ground this spring on the first two buildings in a townhome project, Rocky Peak Village. Kim Kreissig is a

Realtor with Prudential Steamboat Realty. Peter’s K&K Builders constructed the eight-unit Willowbrook and 16-unit Willows townhomes in the Chinook Lane neighborhood. Both sold out before completion between 2001 and 2004. The Kreissigs moved on to the Stonewood townhomes project in 2004. Peter Kreissig said that given the state of the economy and the lag time before units at Rollingstone would be absorbed by the market, they no longer want to carry the debt. Instead, they hope to sell the entitled project to a developer who can afford to be patient. “We have carried Rollingstone since 2007,” Peter Kreissig

said. “Given market conditions, we have no immediate plan to commence building. We can technically continue to carry the land, but with the market rebounding slowly, it just doesn’t make good business sense for us to wait it out.”

Along with the purchase of the land, the Kreissigs had invested heavily in the conceptual plans and the process of obtaining a development permit. See Rollingstone, page 2B

Neighbors force their own into foreclosure Paul J. Weber

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

IRVING, TEXAS

Thousands of Americans who have generally kept up with their mortgages still are in danger of losing their homes because they made a fateful trade-off in this shaky economy — they let their homeowner association dues slide. Many homeowners are learning to their surprise that condo and neighborhood associations that oversee security patrols, mow lawns, plant flowers and clean the community swimming pool may have the right to foreclose when dues aren’t paid. That right is often written into the purchase agreement signed by the homeowner. Among those who have been threatened with foreclosure is Lacey Pilat, who lost her job catering lavish corporate parties and nearly lost her two-story house in Irving. “Basically, our landscaper was foreclosing on the house,” said Steve Pilat, her husband. “That’s the way we looked at it.” These foreclosure actions do not necessarily pit neighbor against neighbor. Many homeowner associations have turned the job of collecting member dues over to outside management companies. And to them, it’s strictly business, not personal. Homeowner association

boards and their management companies defend the practice, saying maintaining the neighborhood preserves everyone’s property values. “We have compassion for those folks. At the same time, we feel for the rest of the homeowners who are paying their dues,” said Andrew Schlegel, executive vice president for Merit Property Management, which manages more than 140,000 California homes in community associations. In California, associations can foreclose only after 12 months of missed fees or $1,800 in back dues. “No one wants to do this,” Schlegel said. “It’s only coming up when people are completely obstinate about it.” In fact, most people end up saving their homes. Homeowner association boards — particularly those that have lost many of their dues-paying members to the housing collapse and the slumping economy — often work with down-on-their-luck neighbors to come up with some sort of compromise. That’s what happened with the Pilats. Gauging the number of foreclosures nationwide by homeowner association is difficult. But in Texas, foreclosure attempts initiated by homeowner associations in 19 counties are up 30 percent from two years ago, according to See Foreclosure, page 16B

Kim and Peter Kreissig as K&K Builders have broken ground on new townhomes at Rocky Peak Village.

Kreissigs didn’t have partner Rollingstone continued from 1B “We had every intention of building something wonderful for us and for the city of Steamboat Springs,” Kim said. “We bought the parcel when the market was booming, and it was a big leap for us. The purchase itself, as well as our vision for the project, was larger than anything we’d ever undertaken.” In hindsight, Kim said, it might have been wise to leverage their risk by taking on an equity partner. “The times were good, and we’d never teamed up with a partner before, so our thinking was, ‘Why start now?’” she said. The plan at Rollingstone would have preserved a historically significant home and detached garage.

Historical connection Selbe’s parents, Keith and Anne Selbe, moved to Steamboat Springs from Kansas in 1942. Keith’s parents and grandparents had been ranchers in Kansas and preceded Keith, moving to Steamboat in the 1930s to escape the Dust Bowl. Keith and Anne Selbe ran a dairy farm at Casey’s Pond where Jim and his sister, Anita, grew up. Keith Selbe was a familiar figure, clad in denim jacket and cowboy hat, in Steamboat until his death in August 1994. He was an avid horseman who trained sorrel quarter horses and drove around town in a Jeep CJ. — To reach Tom Ross, call 871-4205 or e-mail tross@steamboatpilot.com

Chase in talks to rent space Commercial continued from 1B Listing broker Cindy Ptach, of Colorado Group Realty, said the former site of the U.S. post office (up until the 1980s) was listed a couple of years ago at the height of the market for $3.8 million. “Now, the market for commercial property is so slow we decided on our pricing based more on what hasn’t sold than on what has sold,” Ptach said. “We put it on the market to see what happens.” Ptach’s husband, Tom, runs Pilot Office Supply. She said that although he is phasing out the residential furniture in RoCo Enteriors, the space will be repurposed to display more office furniture, a growing segment of the business. David Chase, of David Chase Rugs and Furniture, had put his prominent building at 335 Lincoln Ave. on the market for $4.9 million in late winter but now plans to take it off the market. Chase said this week that he is in talks with a prospective tenant who would take a portion of the space now occupied by his furniture store. Longtime locals will recall that the building originally housed City Market grocery store.

In support of its Application, Twentymile states as follows. 1. Name, Address and Telephone Number of Applicant: Twentymile Coal Company 29515 Routt County Road #27 Oak Creek, Colorado 80467 Attention: Jerry Nettleton Telephone: (970) 870-2712 2. Name of Structure: Twenty Mile Reservoir. 3. From Previous Decree: a. Date of Original Decree: November 15, 1962 Case No. 3081, Routt County District Court. b. Location: Initial point of survey at a point whence the Southwest Corner, Section 19, Township 5 North, Range 86 West, 6th P.M. bears South 31°46’ West, 3362 feet. c. Source: Fish Creek. d. Appropriation Date: July 22, 1961 Amount: 15,302.15 acre feet e. Use: Irrigation, domestic, stock watering,

fish propagation, recreation, industrial, and municipal. 4. Detailed Outline of What has Been Done Toward Completion of the Appropriation and Application of the Water to Beneficial Use as Originally Decreed: a. In Case No. 02CW58, by decree dated May 7, 2003, this Court granted the prior application for a finding of reasonable diligence and continued the conditional water right that is the subject of this application in full force and effect. The decree in that case required that an application for a finding of reasonable diligence be filed on or before the last day of May, 2009. b. Twenty Mile Reservoir is an integral part of Applicant’s augmentation plan. See Decree entered in Case No. 90CW99, Water Division 6 (amending augmentation plan originally decreed in Case No. W-1502-78 to include Twenty Mile Reservoir). The decree for the augmentation plan provides in part as follows: “All of the water rights and all of the structures described herein, including those to be constructed at any alternate points of diversion or places of storage, are part of one water system, so that for purposes of showings of reasonable diligence with respect to the conditional water rights included herein, work performed and expenses incurred by [Applicant] in connection with any of the water rights, structures and alternate points of diversion or places of storage shall be considered to be in furtherance of the application of each of the conditional water rights to beneficial use.” c. Applicant conducted an evaluation and valuation of the Twenty Mile Reservoir conditional water right and engaged in negotiations resulting in the purchase of the Twenty Mile Reservoir conditional water right from Twentymile Reservoir Company, as follows: i. Performed research and evaluation of the priority value and yield of the Twentymile Reservoir water right. ii. Performed valuation of the Twenty Mile Reservoir water right, based on priority, yield, and Yampa River flow and call regime. iii. Completed the purchase of the Twenty Mile Reservoir water right and associated lands. d. Applicant submitted requests for proposals to consulting firms for the performance of geotechnical investigational work and surveying work directly related to the development of the Twenty Mile Reservoir water right. e. Applicant incurred expenses in connection with development of the augmentation plan of which Twenty Mile Reservoir is a component, including legal expenses. Without limitation, Applicant has successfully prosecuted a diligence application and obtained a decree in Case No. 05CW12, has filed a diligence application in Case No. 08CW77, and has monitored the monthly water resume and filed statements of opposition where necessary to protect its water rights. f. Applicant maintains and operates, in cooperation with the United States Geological Survey and other federal and state agencies, a monitoring program for the collection of data from gauging stations on Fish Creek, Foidel Creek, and Trout Creek; these stations are at or near the proposed location of the Twenty Mile Reservoir. These activities have been conducted solely by and at the expense of Twentymile Coal Company, or a related entity, or have been jointly funded with the U.S.G.S. Data collected from these gauging stations will be used to further define creek and alluvium properties, for determinations of water available for storage in the reservoir, and for the spillway design. The data have also been used for an evaluation of environmental impacts for the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety, and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Water Quality Control Division. Twentymile Coal Company performs a program of water quality sampling and flow rate measurement on surface waters, alluvium wells and bedrock wells, and administers all records relating thereto. Twentymile Coal Company enters the data collected in the above described

��

monitoring program into a computer data base system. The data has been and will continue to be reviewed periodically for accuracy and completeness. g. Applicant collects data from the additional monitoring stations that were previously installed on Fish Creek to further define alluvium and creek hydraulic properties. These stations were located to determine subsidence impacts to Fish Creek resulting from longwall mining beneath a portion of the creek. h. Total expenditure in time and money for all of the above work in the past six years is difficult to estimate, but is conservatively estimated to be at $345,000. i. Applicant reserves the right to offer additional evidence of diligence if such becomes necessary or appropriate. 5. Name and Address of Owners or Reputed Owners of Land Upon Which Any New Diversion or Storage Structure or Modification to Existing Diversion or Storage Structure is or Will be Constructed or Upon Which Water Will be Stored: Twentymile Coal Company 29515 RCR27 Oak Creek, Colorado 80467 Cross-Mountain LLC 420 E. Carrillo St. Santa Barbara, California 93101 6. Applicant’s continued work toward development of its integrated water supply system, as described herein, constitutes reasonable diligence toward the completion of the appropriation of the Twenty Mile Reservoir conditional water right. WHEREFORE, Ap-

plicant respectfully requests that the Twenty Mile Reservoir conditional water right be continued in full force and effect in accordance with the original decree. You are hereby notified that you will have until the last day of JULY, 2009 to file with the Water Court a verified statement of Opposition, setting forth facts as to why a certain Application should not be granted or why it should be granted only in part or on certain conditions. A copy of such Statement of Opposition must be served on the Applicant or the Applicant’s Attorney, with an affidavit or certificate of such service being filed with the Water Court, as prescribed by Rule 5, C.R.C.P. The filing fee for the Statement of Opposition is $158.00, and should be sent to the Clerk of the Water Court, DIV. 6, P. O. Box 773117, Steamboat Springs, CO 80477.

Backyard goes from fishbowl to fabulous Jean Patteson

THE ORLANDO SENTINEL

ORLANDO, FLA.

When the Barnes family moved into their $1.3 million Monterey Mediterranean home in Orlando, Fla., two years ago, they were thrilled with everything except the backyard. Nothing more than a blank square of lawn with a fringe of low shrubs, it faced an alley lined with garages and garbage cans to the rear, and was overlooked by neighboring twostory houses on two sides. “It was like living in a fishbowl,” says Bill Barnes, an attorney. “It needed a lot of work,” says Suzanne Barnes, an architect. She took charge of contacting landscapers, pool builders and suppliers of decking, paving and outdoor fireplaces. She also contacted the producers of the HGTV “Ground Breakers” series, who decided to feature the transformation of the Barnes’ backyard in the program’s 2009 lineup. The couple had four goals for the $100,000 transformation: ■ Establish privacy from adjacent homes. ■ Hide open garages and garbage cans in the back alley. ■ Provide a safe play area for their two children and small dogs. ■ Create three distinctive

areas for year-round outdoor entertaining. The first three goals were quickly achieved after consulting landscape architects from Redmon Design Co. in Maitland, Fla. Improvements included installation of a tall, white-lattice fence from Preferred Fence in Sanford, Fla., and lush boundary plantings of palms and low-maintenance shrubs by Alfresco Living in Maitland. Designing and building the three entertainment areas took several months, thanks in part to delays caused by Tropical Storm Fay’s lingering deluge in August. Opening off the home’s family room is the first of the three entertainment zones — a covered patio that can be enclosed with automated ClearView screens from Gulf Coast Retractable Screens for extra privacy or when bugs are bothersome. On the west side of the yard is a vine-covered pergola, assembled from a kit by Average Joe’s Pergola Depot. It provides a shady, al fresco dining and lounging area. At the far end of the pergola is an outdoor fireplace faced with electric fire. The pool runs parallel to the pergola on the east side of the yard. Designed by All Pro Pools of Central Florida, it is colored a custom shade of

At the far end is a privacy wall and fountain; at the near end, a raised spa. “We love real materials — wood, granite, travertine, stone, steel,” Suzanne says. “But we also investigated materials like fiberglass, concrete, resin and

fake stone and wood, which are usually less expensive.” Suppliers included Tropic Decor, Pre-Cast Designs and Coral-Light Stone Products. Finishing touches include wrought-iron and wicker patio furniture, bright linens and flower-filled planters. During the final taping of the show, “Ground Breakers”

Dallas-based Foreclosure Listing Services. In the San Antonio area, foreclosure actions by homeowner associations jumped to 170 in April from 21 in April 2008, according to RexReport.com. In Florida, attorney Bob Tankel, who represents hundreds of homeowner and condo associations, said he has increased his staff from three to 16 in the past 18 months to handle a mounting caseload of 3,500 open collections. About one-fifth of those cases have reached foreclosure, he said. In California, Schlegel said more than 6 percent of the homes that his company manages are in some stage of delinquency with regard to membership dues, up from about 1 percent in previous years. More than 59 million people live in more than 300,000 association-governed communities nationwide, according to the Community Associations Institute, the nation’s largest group for homeowners and condo boards. In many of these foreclosure cases, the homeowner’s name is on the mortgage, and the mortgage is held by a bank or other lender. But the purchase agreement says the homeowner association can haul the homeowner into court and begin foreclosure proceedings for nonpayment of dues. If the house is foreclosed on, it is sold off, and the homeowner association takes what it is owed from the proceeds. Proceeds also go to the bank to pay off the mortgage. About four months after Pilat lost her job, the management company for the Beacon Hill homeowner association sent her a foreclosure notice in April after several attempts to collect her $450 annual dues, which paid for the mowing of front lawns. The amount she owed snowballed to $1,800 after penalties and fees. The management company eventually agreed to let the couple pay the debt over time. The Pilats cut a check for $600 in April that drained their checking account but saved the house. They are slowly paying off the $1,200 debt. Pilat had fallen a little behind on the mortgage, too, but the bank was working with her to keep her house. The Pilats said their neighbors on the homeowner association board never got involved in the dispute over dues; it was handled entirely by the management company. Neither the company nor the homeowner association returned calls for comment. The foreclosure actions have renewed long-standing complaints that homeowner associations are often made up of power-drunk residents who enjoy lording it over their neighbors and zealously enforce the rules regarding such things as the height of the grass, the color of the house, the flying of flags and the way the porch is furnished. “You have a number of them being run like little totalitarian regimes,” said Texas state Rep. Burt Solomons, who has unsuccessfully tried passing association reforms for years in the Legislature. “Their argument is that if you don’t like it, move.” Near Sacramento, Calif., unemployed state employee Pam Spanier was served with a foreclosure notice after falling more than seven months behind on her $115 monthly dues, which pay for Internet access and a golf-cart security patrol. She owes a total of $2,100, including attorney fees and fines. She is still in her home. “I’m going to continue to look for a job and hope for a miracle,” she said. “If it forecloses, it forecloses.”

Rugby squad tackled

Great game, good times for NHL

Late Glenwood surge too much for Steamboat in opener Joel Reichenberger

Tim Dahlberg

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Muhammad Ali was at Joe Louis Arena, perhaps waiting for a fight to break out. One did in Game 7 of the NHL championships but not in the traditional hockey sense. The two heavyweights Friday night were the Pittsburgh Penguins and Dahlberg Detroit Red Wings, and they played a Game 7 for the ages, one that still was in doubt into the final frenetic seconds. Ali was upstairs wearing a Red Wings jersey, but the knockout punch was scored by a Pittsburgh team led by a star so young he lives with the owner. Bad mouth hockey no more. The fastest sport on ice is back. Sure, the NBA playoffs may beat it in the ratings, but there was a lot to like about a Stanley Cup rematch that featured not only some of hockey’s brightest young stars but two teams that staked a claim to a great rivalry that could last years. If the Penguins and Red Wings indeed are the game’s future as they appear to be, the future is bright. Hockey, with a little assist from high-definition TV, has an opportunity to prosper and grow, something that would have been unimaginable a few years ago. Ratings for Game 7 won’t be available for a few days, but without competition from the NBA playoffs, NBC figures to come up with its best numbers in years. If not, they should hang up the skates because the game was as exciting and suspenseful as any final in any sport. The Penguins, even with star Sidney Crosby on the bench after taking a hard hit in the second period, held on for a 2-1 win that was all the more surprising considering they were blanked 5-0 in the same arena just two games earlier. They not only won the first Stanley Cup for Pittsburgh since Mario Lemieux led the team to the title in 1992, but also avenged their finals defeat from a year earlier. Lemieux now owns the team, and the 21-year-old Crosby rents a room at his house. Hard to imagine that happening in any other sport, but hockey people have always been a little bit different. What other sport not only engraves the names of players and coaches on its trophy, but allows them to take it home and show it off to the next door neighbor? In what other sport would so many players grow playoff beards because superstition and tradition dictate it? What was different from years past was there were no big wrestling matches, no lingering bear hugs and only one hooking penalty. The rule changes implemented after the missed season are working, and two highly skilled teams skating aggressively the whole night showed how much better the game is because of them. Hockey remains a niche sport, but that’s OK, too. Not everyone grew up on ice, and it’s hard for outsiders to feel the same kind of passion toward the sport that people in Canada and the U.S. do. If this keeps up, though, a lot of new fans might tune in to see what the fun is all about.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

JOEL REICHENBERGER/STAFF

Steamboat’s Darian Heldreth tries to advance the ball up the field after ripping it from a Glenwood Springs player Saturday. The turnover eventually led to Steamboat points, but it wasn’t enough, and the home side lost the match, 22-12.

Steamboat Springs’ Erik Wernig grabbed the ball from the ground, muscled through a pair of Glenwood Springs defenders and leapt over the goal line, tagging much-needed points onto the scoreboard in the waning minutes of Saturday’s seasonopening rugby match. Thanks to a pair of long runs from Glenwood, however, Wernig’s late dive wouldn’t be

enough. Steamboat dropped its first game of the season Saturday, falling at home to Glenwood, 22-12. “We’ll do better when we can come together as a team,” Wernig said. Inexperienced and rookie players dotted the field for Steamboat on Saturday. Against a tough Glenwood squad, that proved too much of a hurdle. Glenwood’s surge came after a tight first half. Robbie Shine, Steamboat’s captain, dove in for his team’s first try after his side

won a scrum. Steamboat trailed, 8-5, at halftime. “We had a couple phases going toward our goal line,” Shine said. “They knocked the ball down, so we had a scrum at the 5-meter line. I saw an opportunity to go weak side, so I called it and passed it back to the scrum half. I got it back and just dove for the line.” In the second, though, Glenwood broke off two long runs.

Runners flock to Cog Run 31st annual Hayden race triples its number of participants

hanks to a mischievous boy from Missouri and a tireless girl from Wiggins, a curious family from the Front Range and a bunch of fun-loving firefighters from Craig, a few dieSTORY BY hards from JOEL Routt REICHENBERGER County and a donkey from Slater, the Hayden Cog Run realized new levels of success Saturday. The race’s field, which had dwindled to just 33 runners a year ago, was bursting at the seams and attracted nearly three times that number. Nicholas Cady traveled with his family from Louisville to lead the hodgepodge collection of 92 competitors, winning the 8.6-mile Cog Run in 50 minutes, 36 seconds. Tara Richardson captured the women’s Cog. Chris Zirkle and Hannah Williams won their divisions of the 10-kilometer race, and Chris Cunbar and Lisa Adams won the 5k races. “It was awesome,” Cady said after winning the grueling Cog Run. That race sent runners up Routt County Road 76, which gains about 1,000 feet of elevation in three miles. It then cast them hurtling back down toward the start and finish lines at Hayden City Park. It ground even some of the most experienced runners to a slow trot or even a walk. Cady powered through. “It was steep, but it was runnable, and it was a heck of a view up there,” he said. While Cady made the dash

She opted into the steep and challenging race after traveling to Steamboat Springs to watch a cousin play in a Triple Crown softball tournament. See Cog Run, page 5C

Lakers reaching for top again Kobe Bryant, Phil Jackson try for title in Game 5 today Tom Withers

ORLANDO, FLA.

GARY W. GREEN/ORLANDO SENTINEL

Los Angeles Lakers center Pau Gasol goes up for a shot against the Orlando Magic during Game 4 on Thursday. Today, the Lakers will attempt to put away the Magic and earn their 15th championship title.

Like any couple, they’ve had their fair share of ups and downs. They’ve feuded publicly and fought privately. They separated for a year and reunited with an understanding that it was best for both of their careers. They’ve grown older together. Kobe Bryant and Phil Jackson have endured. Bonded by basketball, the superstar and his contemplative coach are on the cusp of

another NBA title. For Bryant, No. 4. For Jackson, No. 10 — and one for the record books. Today, the Los Angeles Lakers, seeking their 15th championship and first since 2002, will try to put away the Orlando Magic in Game 5 of a finals in which every game but the opener has been decided by one or two key plays in the closing seconds. After a day to decompress following LA’s 99-91 overtime win in Game 4, both teams practiced Saturday at Amway Arena, which because of the 2-

3-2 format, will be hosting its final game of the season. The Magic, who have been written off several times in these playoffs, have faith that they can become the first team in finals history to overcome a 3-1 deficit. The first 29 failed. “We know what’s ahead of us,” said Orlando center Dwight Howard, whose frightful free-throw shooting (6-of14) in Game 4 hurt the Magic. “We know what’s been said and the situation that we’re in.

Red Sox beat Phillies, 11-6, in interleague matchup THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MLB ROUNDUP

PHILADELPHIA

Jason Bay and Jacoby Ellsbury homered, Julio Lugo had four hits, and Boston overcame another shaky outing by Daisuke Matsuzaka. The Red Sox have won the first two games in an interleague matchup between division leaders. They’ll go for the sweep today with ace Josh Beckett on the mound. Raul Ibanez hit his 22nd homer, and Pedro Feliz and Jayson Werth also connected for the Phillies, who’ve lost two straight since returning from a 7-3 road trip.

Rockies 5, Mariners 3 DENVER

Chris Iannetta broke a tie with a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning, and Colorado Rockies ran its winning streak to 10 — one off the franchise record. Clint Barmes also drove in a run with a fly ball in a two-run ninth inning off Mark Lowe (0-4). Todd Helton and Brad Hawpe also had RBI for the Rockies. Jason Marquis limited the Mariners to a run and seven hits in seven innings but was denied the decision. Manuel Corpas (1-3) got the win after giving up Jose Lopez’s tying two-run homer in the eighth. Huston Street pitched the ninth for his 13th save.

Angels 9, Padres 1 ANAHEIM, CALIF.

Torii Hunter hit three consecutive solo homers, Kendry Morales and Jeff Mathis also went deep, and the Los Angeles Angels routed the San Diego Padres, 9-1, on Saturday night. It was Hunter’s first threehomer game in the majors. He was left on deck when Bobby Abreu struck out to end the bottom of the eighth inning, costing him a chance at tying the big league record for home runs in a game. Hunter became the 12th player in Angels history to homer three times in a game, and the first to do it since Garret Anderson in 2003 against the Montreal Expos at Puerto Rico.

Astros 6, Diamondbacks 4 PHOENIX

Lance Berkman hit his 300th homer moments after Miguel Tejada singled home a run with his 2,000th hit, and the Houston Astros defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Roy Oswalt (3-3) pitched seven innings and improved to 8-1 lifetime against the Diamondbacks. LaTroy Hawkins closed for his ninth save in 12 chances. Tejada singled in the sixth. One out later, Berkman homered off Jon Garland (4-7).

Cardinals 3, Indians 1 CLEVELAND

Albert Pujols hit two home runs to lead the St. Louis Cardinals against the Cleveland Indians. Pujols’ 27th multihomer game and fourth this season helped Brad Thompson (1-2) get his first win since St. Louis’ final game in 2008. Pujols’ first homer of the game was his 1,600th hit in 1,301 career games. The 396foot line drive over the wall in left-center put St. Louis ahead, 1-0, in the fourth inning against Tomo Ohka (0-1).

Mets 6, Yankees 2 NEW YORK

Injury fill-in Fernando Nieve earned his first major league victory in three years, Omir Santos drove in three runs, and the New York Mets bounced back from a discouraging loss. Gary Sheffield homered for the second straight day against his former team and Santos hit a two-run shot off Andy Pettitte (6-3). The Mets lost the Subway Series opener, 9-8, on Friday night at Yankee Stadium when second baseman Luis Castillo dropped Alex Rodriguez’s twoout popup in the ninth, allowing two runs to score. Castillo came back with two hits and was flawless in the field.

Rays 8, Nationals 3 ST. PETERSBURG, FLA.

Ben Zobrist and Gabe Gross homered during a seven-run sixth inning for Tampa Bay. Carlos Pena hit his 20th home run for Tampa Bay. The defending American League champion Rays moved two games over .500 for the first time this season. Andy Sonnanstine (5-6), who retired 15 batters in a row at one point, gave up three runs and six hits over 7 1/3 innings.

Pirates 9, Tigers 3 PITTSBURGH

Freddy Sanchez hit a grand slam, and Adam LaRoche

added a solo home run. Zach Duke (7-4) won for the fourth time in his past five decisions. He gave up three runs in eight innings and overcame solo homers by Marcus Thames and Ryan Raburn. Sanchez hit his second career slam in the fourth inning to give the Pirates an 8-2 lead. LaRoche homered in the second when the Pirates scored four times off Armando Galarraga (3-7).

White Sox 7, Brewers 1 MILWAUKEE

Jose Contreras allowed two hits during eight scoreless innings, and the White Sox battered struggling starter Manny Parra with a six-run outburst. Contreras (2-5) struck out eight and walked two, using his array of arm angles and breaking pitches to frustrate the freeswinging Brewers. Since returning from a monthlong demotion to the minors, Contreras has given up just three hits in 16 scoreless innings. He earned his first road win since May 14, 2008. The White Sox improved to 5-9 in June after hammering Parra (3-8).

Twins 2, Cubs 0 CHICAGO

Rookie Anthony Swarzak scattered four hits during seven innings, Jason Kubel homered, and the Twins hung on. Minnesota got its runs in the early going against the returning Rich Harden (4-3) after a 32-minute rain delay at the start. Kubel led off the second with his 11th homer, and Joe Maurer singled in a run, delighting the Twins fans. The two-time defending National League Central champions simply couldn’t get anything going against Swarzak (2-2), who earned his first win since beating Milwaukee in his debut last month. The 23-yearold right-hander was sent down to the minors after the game.

Marlins 6, Blue Jays 5 TORONTO

Cody Ross homered and doubled twice to help rookie Sean West get his second major league win. Jeremy Hermida also homered as the Marlins won their seventh straight game at Toronto. Florida is 16-4 alltime against the Blue Jays. West (2-1) allowed four runs in 5 2/3 innings. In his previous

start, he pitched eight shutout innings to beat San Francisco for his first big league victory. Matt Lindstrom, the fourth Florida reliever, worked around a leadoff single in the ninth to earn his 12 save in 14 chances. He struck out Vernon Wells to strand a runner at second to end it.

Orioles 8, Braves 4 BALTIMORE

Brian Roberts had four hits, including a double that highlighted a six-run rally in a messy seventh inning. The Orioles, who had lost 10 of their previous 12, scored their most runs in the past 16 games. A wild pitch, an error and two walks helped the Orioles’ comeback.

Royals 7, Reds 4 KANSAS CITY, MO.

Willie Bloomquist had three hits and three RBIs, and Billy Butler had three hits and drove

in two runs. The Royals won back-toback games for the first time since May 17 to 19. By winning the first two games against the Reds, the Royals have won a series for the first time since May 5 and 6, going 0-9-1 in their previous 10 series. Kyle Davies (3-6), who was 0-5 with two no-decisions in his previous seven starts, picked up his first victory since April 30. Davies gave up two hits but walked five and hit a batter in allowing three runs in five-plus innings.

Dodgers 3, Rangers 1 ARLINGTON, TEXAS

Los Angeles scored immediately after a 1-hour, 41-minute delay because of a light failure, and Matt Kemp later hit a tworun homer. Juan Pierre singled off reliever Eddie Guardado to start the sixth inning when play resumed. The Dodgers’ lead-

off hitter went to third on a stolen base and throwing error and scored on Rafael Furcal’s grounder to end Texas’ scoreless streak at 24 innings. Los Angeles improved the best record in the major to 41-22.

Giants 5, Athletics 2

SAN FRANCISCO

Randy Johnson limited Oakland to four hits during seven strong innings to earn his 301st victory, and Juan Uribe drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning in the San Francisco Giants’ 5-2 win Saturday night. With two straight wins in the season’s first Bay Bridge Series, the surging Giants moved five games above .500 for the first time since 2004. In his first home start since getting his 300th win, Johnson (6-5) narrowly outpitched A’s rookie left-hander Josh Outman, who retired 14 straight batters before Bengie Molina’s leadoff double in the seventh.

Colin Braun took advantage of an unintentional block by a lapped truck to pass Kyle Busch and race to his first NASCAR truck win Saturday at Michigan International Speedway. The 20-year-old Braun gave team owner Jack Roush his 50th truck victory and third in a row at the track closest to his headquarters in Livonia. This race looked as if it belonged to Busch, the talented 24-year-old who regularly wins races in Sprint Cup, Nationwide and the Camping World trucks series. He led 62 laps and appeared in total control before suddenly coming upon the slowmoving Norm Benning, two laps off the pace.

Busch slowed and ducked low on the banked 2-mile oval on lap 77, driving nearly into the infield grass to get past Benning, while Braun went high around Benning and Busch to grab the lead. “In the closing laps there, luckily, Kyle got stuck there in traffic, and my spotter got me cleanly through traffic,” said Braun, whose first victory came in his 35th truck start. Busch, who left after the race to fly to Kentucky, where he was scheduled to drive in Saturday night’s Nationwide race, said: “It was unfortunate, I had a lapped truck that couldn’t hold his line.

HAVRE DE GRACE, MD.

As a rookie playing in the third round of the LPGA Championship, Anna Nordqvist probably figured the only problem she might encounter was a little bit of nervousness. That wasn’t an issue Saturday. Neither was a lengthy rain delay or fading daylight. Nothing, it seems, is too much for this cool Swede to handle. Nordqvist took a one-shot lead over Lindsey Wright by making a 20-foot birdie putt on No. 15 after the horn halted play because of darkness. The players were allowed to finish the hole, and the 22-year-old Nordqvist took advantage by moving to 10 under. “Obviously finishing with the birdie brings me some good momentum for (Sunday),” Nordqvist said. Wright — one of eight players who failed to finish — also played 15 holes. Instead of returning to the Bulle Rock course today at her leisure, Wright must finish her round at 7:30 a.m.

“Obviously there’s a disadvantage not finishing today. I mean, I would love to be sleeping in,” she said. “But it’s going to be a big day, regardless.” For Nordqvist, too. “I’ll go home and eat some dinner and go to bed and be up early and play those holes,” she said. “Then I’ll relax before I tee it up again.” Instead of pacing during the rain delay, Nordqvist chatted with her buddies. “I went to the clubhouse and sat there with a few of my friends,” she said. Na Yeon Choi was about to hit her tee shot on 18 when play was suspended. She threw her ball away in disgust and stormed off the course at 8 under (3 under for the round). Jin Young Pak completed her 69 after the horn to come in at 7 under. Hours earlier, rain stopped play for 2 hours, 19 minutes with 22 players left on the course. Nordqvist finished nine holes at 10 under, and Wright completed 10 holes and 9 under. “I just sat there and talked to random people, not really doing anything,” Wright said.

“It went kind of quick.” Wright returned to birdie No. 11, and the Australian gained the lead when Nordqvist bogeyed the same hole. But a bogey on 13 dropped Wright into a tie. No matter. “It comes down to Sunday every week,” she said. Down by two shots at the

start of the round, Wright parred the first five holes before sinking three straight birdies to go 9 under. A bogey on No. 9 stalled her momentum only momentarily, because she began the back nine with successive birdies. The round began with Nordqvist holding a one-shot lead over Nicole Castrale.

Broncos coach: Orton in starting QB post THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ENGLEWOOD

Denver Broncos coach Josh McDaniels decided to end the suspense early, naming Kyle Orton as the team’s starting quarterback Saturday heading into next month’s training camp. Orton had been competing this offseason on even terms with Chris Simms for the starting spot left open by the blockbuster McDaniels deal that sent Jay Cutler to the Chicago Bears on April 3. But McDaniels apparently liked what he saw in Orton’s assimilation to the offense during the past several months to give the three-year veteran the edge for now, stressing there was still time for Simms to wrest away the job. He informed Orton of the news Friday night, and the former Chicago Bears quarterback took all the snaps behind the first-team offensive line during Saturday’s practice. “There’s a lot of difficult aspects about what we ask our quarterback to do in our offense and Kyle has really grasped some of them more quickly than Chris did,” McDaniels said in explaining the move after the second day of a three-day mini-camp at the team’s Dove Valley headquarters. “I just think it puts them in a little bit of a pressure situation where now one of them has it and has to keep it and the other one has to get it,” McDaniels added. “They’re still going to compete with each other, and I expect the competition to be the same that it’s been. They both have great attitudes and know that nothing’s determined in June.” Orton completed 272 of 465 passes for 2,812 yards with Chicago last season, throwing 18 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He’s appeared in 33 games during his three-year pro career after starting at Purdue University. Like Simms, he’s had to adjust to a new team and offense on the fly. But he’s also demonstrated less rust than Simms, who hasn’t played since Week 3 of the 2006 because of complications from a ruptured spleen while playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

She said the incline was tough, but it wasn’t enough to stop Richardson. A secondplace finisher in the 3,200-meter run at last month’s Class 2A state track meet, she flew across Saturday’s course and finished in 59:36. “We were just in the hotel looking through a magazine, saw this race and decided to come over,” said Richardson, who will run cross country and track next year at Western State College. “That uphill was horrible, but coming down felt really good. “Out where I’m from, it’s totally flat, so I wasn’t used to these hills.” Talaya Thomas, a former Division I college sprinter, also found the steep road a tough obstacle. “I’m not a distance runner at all,” she said, still catching her breath minutes after she had finished. “I figured why not? It was just an hour of my day, and it felt great when I was done. I’m a sprinter, so the downhill was great for me. It was worth running up — or trying to run up — so I could run down.” The bulk of the race, meanwhile, seemed to be made up of a rowdy collection of firefighters from Craig.

One year after losing in the finals to Boston, Bryant and his teammates want to finish the job. This is the chance Bryant has longed for, the opportunity to silence those who feel he needs a fourth title to validate his legacy. He and the Lakers have not won it all since Shaquille O’Neal left in 2004, shortly after The Big Diesel chugged off in a trade to Miami. Bryant swears the he-can’twin-one-without-Shaq argument hasn’t bothered him. That’s hard to believe. The three straight championships from 2000-02 came so easy.

Riders again tackling Tour Divide

hey’re coming again. They left from Banff, Alberta, at noon Friday, which means in about a week or 10 days, they’ll be passing through Steamboat Springs. Don’t worry. You will notice them. When the riders from last year’s Tour Divide mountain bike “race” passed through town, they were hard to miss. The Tour Divide isn’t the granddaddy of all mountain bike races. In fact, this is only the third running of the race. But there are few other races in the world that can dish up the kind of challenges the Tour Divide riders will face. The competition casts riders on a 2,711-mile journey from the small city of Banff in the heart of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, south through the United States to the Mexican border. Along the way they fly over mountain passes that often are still clogged with snow, zoom past every sort of wildlife one could hope to see in the mountains and fight through long, hot stretches of desert near the finish line. The Tour Divide race was born out of a fundamental disagreement. The Great Divide race started in 2004, sending racers from the U.S.Canada border at Roosville, Mont., to Antelope Wells. After several years racing that 2,490-mile stretch, racers began to add the extra mileage in Canada. The Great Divide race is set to start at noon Friday in Montana. Steamboat Springs falls roughly at the halfway mark of the monumental trek and is one of the most significant towns the trail goes through. The town’s bike shops, hotels and restaurants will prove a welcome sight to riders streaming down Routt County Road 129 after entering the state from Wyoming. The race is a big enough challenge that it draws international interest. The Tour Divide started with 42 racers, a massive bump up from the 16 that started a year ago. The field this year includes five racers from the United Kingdom, two from Canada and one each from Italy, Austria and Germany. United States racers hail from 17 states. Tucked into that group is Matthew Lee, of Chapel Hill, N.C., who has recorded four of the 10 fastest times on the U.S. portion of the trail. Also racing this year are Erik Lobeck and Leighton White, both of Steamboat Springs. White is tackling the Tour Divide for the second time in as many years. He finished in a four-way tie for third last year after partnering with riders from as far as the United Kingdom and Germany. Looking back at his comments after that race, it’s not hard to figure out why he thought another three-week, nearly 3,000-mile trip was a good way to spend his time. “Maybe we’re the normal ones,” he said after stopping for the night last year in Steamboat. “This is what we’re supposed to be doing. We’re supposed to be out seeing things and enjoying life.”

Mark Obmascik stands atop North Maroon Peak. Obmascik was an out-of-shape suburban father, but he grew to have a new appreciation for Colorado’s mountains, his life and his family after climbing all of the state’s 14,000-foot peaks. Obmascik will be in Steamboat Springs at 6:30 p.m. Friday at Epilogue Book Co. to speak about and sign the book he wrote about his experience, “Halfway to Heaven.”

Still, he STORY BY didn’t even JOEL have to comREICHENBERGER plete his assault on the state’s towering peaks before he realized the ultimate lesson of his one crazy summer. He said the climbs helped him realize that at 47 years old, he still had a lot of living left to do. They helped him find a new appreciation for his home state, and they helped him draw closer than he could have ever imagined to his quickly growing son and his Denver-area family. “I was 44, and I had started to view myself in decline,” Obmascik said. “I wasn’t as fast, wasn’t as quick. I just kept asking myself, is this going to be the rest of my life? Decline?” The quest to conquer Colorado’s mountains, though, reversed that. Obmascik said that’s the main theme in his most recent book, “Halfway to Heaven: My White-knuckled — and Knuckleheaded — Quest for the Rocky Mountain High.” Obmascik will speak about his adventures and sign copies of the book at 6:30 p.m. Friday at Epilogue Book Co. in downtown Steamboat Springs.

SUNDAY FOCUS

Reconnecting Obmascik said he was overweight and overworked before he started climbing again. That wasn’t always the case. He had been an avid hiker and outdoorsman in his youth. “I used to hike,” he said. “But I had put on about 50 pounds since college, had gotten married and had kids. I was swallowed up by work, and you want to spend all the time you can with your kids. “It just slips away.” It was his children, though, who helped re-ignite Obmascik’s love for the outdoors. His oldest son, Cass, was 12 when he was injured while hiking Pikes Peak. On his way to have a gash stapled shut, he called his father. “He was telling me to calm down and saying ‘I made it to the top and watched the sun rise from Pike’s Peak! Dad, I summited it!’” Obmascik said. “That was wild to me. Here was a 12-year-old boy excited about something that didn’t involve consumer electronics.” The incident was enough to compel father and son to attempt at 14,000-foot peak together. They failed, running out of energy near the top of a Front Range 14er. That still wasn’t enough to slow Obmascik down. By the time he was wrapping up his summer of climbing, his once-gassed son was scampering up mountains at a rate of 1,500 feet an hour. “Talk about a moving experience,” Obmascik said. “I just watched him turn into a man. The first time we hiked, we couldn’t get up a peak. Next thing I know, he’s going at a

Opening up The climbing didn’t just give Obmascik an avenue to grow closer to his family. It also allowed him a chance to meet people and do things he never could have imagined. His wife, Merrill Schwerin, required that he always climb with a partner.

and slept with them.” That part of the experience turned out to be as valuable as any other, he said. “That was the thing I complained about the most at first, but I met some really wonderful, fun and eye-opening people. I never met a bad egg,” he said. “When you say climbing partner, that implies more than a friend. You’re entrusting your personal safety to someone and they to you.” At the end, though, he said the whole experience was worth more than just a few new cell phone contacts, and even more than the precious moment spent in the backcountry with his wife and three sons. “I can drive around the state, look up and say ‘Wow. I’ve been up there,’” he said. “It changes your attitude. Instead of thinking you can’t do something, you think, ‘Well, maybe I can.’ “I don’t look at myself the same way any more.

Miniature horses a South Routt fixture

huck Sweetland looks like a giant, from the right angle. Towering above a stable of horses, the longtime Oak Creek resident has pictures of himself picking up his horses and carrying them in his arms like children. Not everybody can do that — but not everybody has miniature horses. Chuck and Betty Sweetland have lived in Oak Creek since 1952. Since 1963, they’ve lived on the Sweetland Ranch, where they raised quarter horses for years. The Sweetland’s STORY BY daughter and son-in-law ZACH FRIDELL gave them their first miniature horse in 1999. Just 10 days after they received that horse, the mare gave birth, and the Sweetlands haven’t stopped breeding them since. Ranging from about 33 to 37 inches tall at the Sweetland ranch, the miniature horses are the same breed as regular horses, just selectively bred for their small stature. Miniature horses used to be popular for coal miners to take into the mines with them, Betty Sweetland said, and if they grow larger than 38 inches, they are considered Shetland ponies. On the outskirts of Oak Creek, just over the town boundary, the Sweetland Ranch has had as many as 14 miniature horses at a time, and is now home to eight. The horses are a regular fixture at the Taste of South Routt festival. This year, the Sweetlands’ miniature horses will appear at the Taste of South Routt on June 27, and the Sweetlands will let older children lead the horses. Taste of South Routt organizer David Moran said the horses are always a big hit with the crowd. The Sweetlands also take the horses to the Doak Walker Care Center in Steamboat Springs. Betty Sweetland said it is a way to spark memories and often leads to long discussions about the role of horses in the Doak residents’ lives. “To keep them so gentle, you need to work with them from the time they’re born,” Betty Sweetland said. She said that the couple often puts a harness on a horse about three days after it’s born to begin its training. She said they haven’t rigged up the tiny harnesses to a wagon for several years because they don’t have two horses that match up well in size, but the wagon remains in the barn, See Horses, page 2D

Chain mail jewelry requires patience, creativity Margaret Hair

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Until about 12 years ago, Jascha Bowen-Kreiner had never heard of a Renaissance festival or people who wear chain mail or people who make it. Then a friend spotted an advertisement at a Maryland rock climbing gym, looking for experienced climbers to teach belaying at the Maryland Renaissance Festival. BowenKreiner and his friend saw it as a chance to make money doing something they loved, so they

signed on. While he worked at the Renaissance festival, BowenKreiner made friends with a couple of metalsmiths and learned how to create jewelry and clothing out of chain mail. Until fall 2008, he let that skill sit. But as mud season dried up the money he could earn working in local restaurants, BowenKreiner saw an opportunity to drum up some extra cash with a skill he already had. “I thought, ‘Well, I’ve got this thing that I do anyway, so I’m going to actually make jewelry out of it,’” he said.

Bowen-Kreiner makes chain mail jewelry by spinning stainless steel wire on a nail that’s attached to an electric drill — the bigger the nail, the wider the diameter of the wire coil. Then he cuts small rings out of each coil and pieces them together in intricate patterns he finds on the Internet. The end result can be anything from a pair of earrings to a full-armor chain mail shirt. “I find the pattern online and figure out how to put it together,” he said. “When I don’t get it, I go back and try to figure it out some more.” Once Bowen-Kreiner had

devised a routine for making jewelry in the few hours he has each day between restaurant jobs at Sharon’s at Pisa’s and The Boathouse Pub, he brought a couple of pieces to All That Jazz music store and asked whether they’d be interested in selling them. Floor Manager Brady Worster bought two pairs of earrings on the spot. “It’s different, and it appeals to our customers, and we’ve done well with it,” All That Jazz owner Joe Kboudi said.

Students learn about solar, wind, hydro power energies Camp continued from 1D Colorado Springs. The grant was split among the Alpine Campus, CMC’s Rifle campus, Colorado Northwestern Community College and Mesa State College, each of which offered similar camps. Camp coordinator Laurie Marano, CMC’s director for student support services, said the purpose of the camp was to encourage interest in the STEM — science, technology, engineering and math — sciences. She said the students had to apply for the camp, which included writing an essay about what they like about science and what they want to learn. “The whole experience is a good one for them,” Marano said. “To encourage them to go to college and major in the STEM sciences.” The camp included handson activities and instruction in energies including solar, wind and hydro power, said Robin Bush, a math and science teacher at Hayden Middle School, one of two teachers at the camp. On Tuesday, the campers took a field trip to the Western Colorado Math and Science Center in Grand Junction, where they learned about electricity. They camped overnight at Highline State Park before returning Wednesday. Bush said the camp exposed children to a higher understanding of energy. With fewer students than during her regular classes, it was possible for her to go more in-depth. “What’s fun for me, what’s been fun this week, the kids are working hard and learning about science,” she said. “I kind of feel like this gives a

different group of kids … the idea that math and science are cool.” The camp’s other instructor, Kerry Kerrigan, is a reading teacher at Steamboat Springs Middle School who previously taught math and science for 10 years. Kerrigan said the goal of the camp was to make science fun for the students and to encourage their curiosity. Many of the campers said their interest already was piqued. “I like hands-on science stuff,” said Tanner Guire, who attends Hayden Middle School. “I like to build and create different things.” Steamboat Springs Middle School student Lily Petersen said she attended a science camp last year. “I really enjoyed that, learning about science and energy and stuff,” she said. “I thought this would be a good opportunity to learn more.” Some, however, wanted to experience college life. “I thought when I got this offer, I can finally see what it’s

I feel like a college student.” In the camp’s first year, Kerrigan and Bush said the greatest advantage was bringing students from all across Routt County together. “The highlight of this camp

is we have kids from the entire valley, Steamboat, Hayden and Soroco, which is good,” Kerrigan said. Bush added, “There’s no division between Hayden, Steamboat and Soroco. It’s just kids having fun. I’d like to get more of that going.” — To reach Jack Weinstein, call 871-4203 or e-mail jweinstein@steamboatpilot.com

Improvements at Perry-Mansfield camp in progress 75 YEARS AGO From the Friday, June 15, 1934, edition of The Steamboat Pilot: Miss Portia Mansfield arrived from New York City on Monday, and Miss Charlotte Perry arrived Wednesday to make preparations for the opening of the Perry-Mansfield camp July 1. There will be some new buildings erected, and considerable repairing will be done before the campers arrive. The work men already have started with the projects. The Perry-Mansfield camp is more than a summer recreational institution. It is a high-class professional and normal school where intensive work is done in dancing, dramatics, stage design and voice. Certificates and diplomas are awarded in dancing and the allied arts. There is also a complete

Grasshopper plague causes problems in Routt County The grasshopper plague is reaching certain parts of Routt County. The insects in the Sidney district and in the Copperspur section have done considerable damage. Farmers who are having a great deal of trouble with the hoppers should get in contact with County Agent Floyd Moon, who will give them complete instructions about poisoning methods. He advises the following method of fighting the hop-

pers with poison: Thoroughly mix 5 pounds of white arsenic or paris green in 100 pounds of red brand (without shorts). Then add 7 to 9 gallons of water, in which has been stirred 2 gallons of cheap molasses and 3 ounces of amyl acetate. The mixture should then be crumbly but just as wet as it can be and still be broadcast without lumping. Scatter where the hoppers are feeding, between 7 and 10 a.m. on a clear, warm day. Do not spread when the temperature is below 65 degrees.

In addition, Colorado may receive considerable money for improvement of national park highways, but there is no way of estimating how much because park officials are governed by no regulations in deciding where their money shall be spent.

Getting upward of 50 pieces of jewelry made for that showing tested Bowen-Kreiner’s patience for putting tiny metal rings together with pliers. “I like to say a lot of my sweat and curses go into my jewelry,” he said. But making things with his hands comes naturally for

Bowen-Kreiner, and the frustration pays off. “It’s about creating something, about making something, about making what would be idle time productive. There’s always a hope that I’m going to make a fortune off of it … but it’s something I do — I use my hands,” he said, adding that he will continue to make the jewelry no matter how it sells. “When I’m not working for a paycheck, I’m either making something or thinking about making something.”
