HAYDEN

Yampa Valley Electric Association members voted to stick with their incumbent board of directors. Ballots were counted Saturday at the cooperative’s annual meeting in Hayden. Scott McGill defeated Susan Holland, 1,493 to 1,089, for the District 8 seat that represents McGill Steamboat Springs. Charles Perry defeated Megan Moore-Kemp, 1,404 to 1,162, for the District 9 seat that represents South Routt County. District 1 repPerry resentative Peggy Espy ran unopposed. Holland and Moore-Kemp campaigned together to focus on renewable energy and energy efficiency. Holland Perry said he saw his victory as a sign that YVEA members want reliable, inexpensive electricity that includes but doesn’t rely on renewable energy. Moore-Kemp Homeowners, not the co-op, should bear the cost of energy-efficient measures, Perry said. “I do not believe the association should get into the rebate business,” he said. McGill said the vote showed that members were pleased with the co-op’s policies.

The Kemry family, from left, Daryl, Jayden, Sabrina and Tayla (on Sabrina’s lap) lives in Milner and is among those who have been affected by the Steamboat Springs School District’s full kindergarten and first-grade classes. Six-year-old Jayden, who attended Soda Creek Elementary School last year, will attend Hayden Valley Elementary School this year.

Ian Andress wants to have the same first-grade teacher his big brother, Phillip, had last year at Soda Creek Elementary School. But he probably won’t get that chance. During the last week of school, in early June, Ian’s parents were called and told he wouldn’t be able to attend the school next year. Instead, he would need to attend Hayden Valley Elementary School. It didn’t matter that he was a kindergartner at Soda Creek last year or that his brother attends

the school. The kindergarten and first-grade classes are full, and Ian and his family live in Milner, outside the Steamboat Springs School District. Steamboat’s inter-district choice policy allows out-of-district students to attend a Steamboat school if there is available space, but they have to apply every year. If a grade is full, a student could be turned away to attend the school in his or her district. That’s the case with Ian next year. Ian’s father, Pete Andress, told the Steamboat Springs School Board on June 15 that he and

his wife both work in Steamboat Springs. He works at The Industrial Company, and she works at Doak Walker Care Center. Pete Andress said like many other families, his was “pushed around by the economy in Steamboat.” He said they didn’t want to move but that they were forced to move from their Steamboat home after their rent was raised significantly. So they moved to Milner. And they would like their children to continue attending Steamboat schools, rather than one child in Steamboat and another in Hayden. See Policy, page 7A

es and Jo Young’s car is rare, even by Rocky Mountain Mustang Roundup standards. The Denver couple has an automatic 1970 Mach 1 Twister Special Mustang with a 428 Super STORY BY Cobra Jet BLYTHE TERRELL engine. The vehicle was one of 24 of its kind made, and the Youngs said they know of only 18 still in existence. They found the car on eBay in 2006 after their other classic car, a 1969 Mustang, was stolen with its trailer from a hotel parking lot in Albuquerque, N.M. “I couldn’t sleep for quite some time,” Wes Young said. “But a lot of things happen for a reason. If we still had that car, we wouldn’t have this one.” The Youngs’ Twister was set up on Lincoln Avenue on Saturday, along with about 450 other cars. About 550 cars were registered in the event.

Boating and drinking laws strengthen Regulations now match those for driving under the influence of alcohol Zach Fridell

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Park rangers are warning that the strenuous activity and disorienting effects of water recreation, such as unsteady legs, can make a day of boating and drinking dangerous and potentially deadly. “Out in the sun all day, there’s wind, there’s exertion, and all those things are going to break you down, and (the alcohol) is going to have more of an effect PAGE DESIGNED BY AMANDA MAIN

on you than if you’re at home watching a ballgame,” said Mark Lehman, Stagecoach State Park ranger. Colorado’s boating under the influence laws became more strict in August, when the threshold for boating under the influence declined from .10 blood alcohol content to match the state’s driving under the influence laws at .08 BAC. Lehman said the new law gives rangers more leeway in determining whether a boater is intoxi-

cated. Rangers at local parks said boating under the influence has not been a major problem on the water, but the severity of the dangers means they will continue to check boaters as the season warms up. The ways of determining a potentially drunken boater are similar to tests used on roadside sobriety checks, but identifying drunken pilots is harder on water than on the roads, Lehman said. “As far as enforcement goes, it’s kind of a tough one because

Colorado miners hoping for silver trade revival ASSOCIATED PRESS

IDAHO SPRINGS

High silver prices have some Colorado miners hoping to revive the state’s silver trade. A few miners are working around the Poor Man silver mine in Idaho Springs. Silver prices are up, with futures in silver increasing 27 percent just last month. Silver is trading at about $15.60 an ounce. The silver boom is caused by economic uncertainty and the fact silver is used in solar panels. Some miners who lead tours of old Colorado gold mines say they’re also poking around abandoned silver mines looking for new veins of silver. The Denver Post reported Saturday that several people have filed applications with Colorado to explore or reactivate silver mines. The United States is the eighth-largest silver producer in the world. Most silver produced is used for industrial applications such as battery-making, photography or jewelry crafting with alternative-energy uses on the rise.

Skier visits show decline Steamboat’s 2008-09 trends consistent with reported decreases statewide

teamboat Ski Area’s 2008-09 skier numbers were consistent with a statewide decline, said Andy Wirth, Steamboat Ski & Resort Corp.’s senior vice president of marketing. Ski Corp. hasn’t STORY BY released BLYTHE TERRELL its numbers and might not do so, Wirth said. But Colorado Ski Country USA data shows a 6.9 percent decrease in skier visits from its 2007-08 figures. The trade organization represents 22 resorts, including Steamboat. Those resorts reported 6.79 million visits for the 2008-09 season. Wirth said he was optimistic about Steamboat’s future and noted possible changes in international trends. Skier visit numbers include state, national and international visits, as well as each time a person swipes a season pass, Wirth said. In addition to a decrease in numbers, visitors kept tighter hold of their wallets. “Our revenues were off more than the total skier visit indicates, and that was based on a decreased spend per visit,” Wirth said. Colorado Ski Country USA also noted that Front Range skier visits increased 2.5 percent. Ski Corp. and parent company Intrawest sought that customer last season, offering the Pow Pow Platter in December. The pass was $99 and included a day each in Steamboat Springs, Copper Mountain and Winter Park. Wirth said he wasn’t sure whether Intrawest would repeat that promotion next winter. The company did decrease prices this year on its passes that include all three resorts. Also on Ski Corp.’s radar is the international traveler. U.S. lawmakers have discussed encouraging tourism to the country through the Travel Promotion Act of 2009. U.S. Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., cosponsored the measure. In a prepared speech, Udall stressed the importance of tourism. “For every $1 million spent in Colorado by domestic and international travelers, 11 jobs are created,” Udall said. “Travel

and tourism generated about $13.7 billion in revenue in 2007 in Colorado alone. And almost 150,000 Coloradans owe their jobs to the industry.” According to a news release from Udall’s office, the measure would: ■ Establish the Corporation for Travel Promotion, an independent, nonprofit corporation governed by an 11-member board of directors appointed by the Secretary of Commerce ■ Create an Office of Travel Promotion in the Department of Commerce to develop programs to increase the number of international visitors to the United States ■ Set up a Travel Promotion Fund, financed by a public-private matching program. Much of the cost would be borne by international travelers, who would pay a $10 fee collected through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization According to the Congressional Budget Office, the measure would increase revenues by about $135 million from 2010 to 2019.

Businesses learn about going green to save green Sustainability luncheon addresses money-saving measures Blythe Terrell

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Businesses interested in stepping toward sustainability would do well to start with water conservation, Lyn Halliday told a group this month. Halliday encouraged responsible water use at a Sustainable Business Program lunch June 12. Doug Hurth provided details about how to save money and water. He co-owns Building for Health, a shop that sells green construction materials, furniture and décor items. Conserving water requires an initial investment, Hurth said. But switching to a tankless water heater, for example, can save as much as 40 percent in energy costs. In many cases, tax credits are available for green improvements. The U.S. government approved a credit for tankless water heaters in February, Hurth said. People can save 30 percent of as much as $1,500 of the cost of a heater starting Jan. 1, 2010. “Saving water is saving money

these days,” Halliday said. She hopes to get businesses, particularly lodging properties, on board with water conservation. Products such as low-flow shower heads and dual-flush toilets can save thousands of gallons of water over time, Hurth said. Changing from a shower head that sprays 2.5 gallons per minute to one that sprays 1.25

gallons per minute cuts water use by about 17 percent, he said. Dual-flush toilets also cut water usage, Hurth said. Such toilets have a low-flow setting for liquid waste and a higher flow for solid waste. A family of four could save 10,000 gallons a year by switchSee Green, page 8A

Alpine Bank has been working since 2005 to go very, very green. Jeremy Behling, a member of the Steamboat Springs branch’s green team steering committee, discussed Alpine’s efforts at a Sustainable Business Program lunch June 12. In addition to its efforts to cut paper, energy and water use, the bank encourages environmentally friendly practices among customers. It is developing a green lending program to help people fund improvements, Behling said. The bank has a “gold” rating in Steamboat’s Sustainable Business Program. David Miller, chairman of the Alpine Bank Green Team statewide, said all of the bank’s 37 branches are powered with electricity from wind, water or sun. What the bank can’t produce, it covers through carbon credits with the Colorado Carbon Fund, Miller said. The company’s new buildings are certified through the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program, known as LEED. Alpine uses recycled paper and recycles whatever it can across its branches. Miller offered tips for other businesses that might be a few steps behind on going green. “What I would consider to be lowhanging fruit, very obvious matters that improve efficiency and save money

include the following,” Miller said. “The first is getting an audit of your facilities, your physical facilities, an energy audit.” Alpine Bank did an audit and hired Colorado State University expert Curtis Swift to review its irrigation system. “He went to all of our banks bankwide and told us basically how to save half of our water, our irrigation water,” Miller said. He encouraged businesses to pursue rebates and tax credit at the state and federal level. Miller also suggested that people contact their utility to find out about rebates or benefits for using alternative energy such as solar power. An audit might help identify insulation leaks, Miller said. “Make sure your building envelope is tight,” he said. “That’s where a lot of the stimulus money is going in Colorado is to local contractors because it’s just very easy to lose a lot of our heat and air conditioning to the outdoors in many areas that are very easy to fix.” Alpine Bank also offers decreased interest on payments for hybrid vehicles and building modifications that improve eco-friendliness. “At the bank, we push the envelope quite a bit further,” Miller said. “There are times when we think it’s a good investment for our well-being to invest a little more up front because it’s going to pay for itself in the long run.” — Blythe Terrell

OUR VIEW

Vision 2030 view broad

hen some of the folks representing Vision 2030 present their final report to elected officials Monday, they’ll be unveiling more than just another study about Routt County and what its future might — or should — look like. With input from more than 1,600 county residents, the Vision AT ISSUE 2030 report is perhaps as comVision 2030 prehensive and representative final report a report on our community’s future as we have ever seen. And although the report stops short OUR VIEW of making specific policy recomLocal mendations, it provides a very government clear picture of the desires and should concerns shared by many who consider values call Routt County home. For that reason, we hope policy makers and goals and elected officials take heed of reflected in the report and consider its recwide-ranging ommendations as they continue survey of our about the daily governance and community. direction-setting of our community. Vision 2030 is a continuation of Vision 2020, a citizen-driven initiative that began in 1994 and hosted community discussions about topics including education, transportation, economics, city planning and government. Those discussions, as widereaching as they may have been, yielded some very tangible results. Vision 2020 led to the creation of First Impressions of Routt County, which supports early childhood education; the Purchase of Development Rights program, which helps landowners use conservation easements to protect against future development; the Routt County Open Lands Plan, which furthers open space needs addressed in Vision 2020 discussions; and Yampa Valley Recycles. Community organizations such as the Community Agriculture Alliance, Yampa Valley Partners and Yampa Valley Land Trust all have at least partial origins in the Vision 2020 process. Such grass-roots, volunteer-driven efforts to gather community input and provide recommendations for our future certainly are worthy of consideration as local governing bodies and others continue to shape the future of Routt County and the Yampa Valley. Vision 2030 volunteers say the intent of the project is to “define the community’s vision, not to assign actions or methods, or to determine funding mechanisms.” No one should be surprised about the values and goals set forth by Vision 2030 participants, but it nonetheless provides an important reminder to all of us about what our community is now, what we want it to be in the future, and how all of our actions in the interim could affect those ideals. The issues Vision 2030 respondents said are most important to them include: sustainable economy, community character, sense of community, family friendliness, managing growth, transportation, housing patterns and heritage. Folks remain concerned about the availability of affordable housing and increasing traffic congestion, and they place high value on a clean environment, open space, low crime rate and good education, among other things. The responses to Vision 2030 surveys weren’t much different from the responses 15 years ago to Vision 2020 surveys. It’s good to be reminded of our community values, and it’s even more important to determine whether we are taking the appropriate actions to achieve our desired outcomes. Vision 2030 doesn’t answer that question, but instead pushes each of us to question whether we are headed in the right direction. The final report also asks community members to step forward and assemble a Citizens’ Stewardship Committee to embrace the Vision 2030 final report, track progress and help hold the community accountable for achieving our desired outcomes. We urge interested residents to take on that role and maintain the momentum gained by the hard-working volunteers who made Vision 2030 a reality.

COMMENTARY

Bullets and barrels Thomas L. Friedman THE NEW YORK TIMES

The popular uprising unfolding in Iran right now really is remarkable. It is the rarest of rare things — more rare than snow in Saudi Arabia, more unlikely than finding a ham sandwich at the Wailing Wall, more unusual than water-skiing in the Sahara. It is a popular uprising in a Middle Eastern oil state. Friedman Why is this so unusual? Because in most Middle East states, power grows out of the barrel of a gun and out of a barrel of oil — and that combination is very hard to overthrow. Oil is a key reason that democracy has had such a hard time emerging in the Middle East, except in one of the few states with no oil: Lebanon. Because once kings and dictators seize power, they can entrench themselves, not only by imprisoning their foes and killing their enemies but by buying off their people and using oil wealth to

build huge internal security apparatuses. There is only one precedent for an oil-funded autocrat in the Middle East being toppled by a people’s revolution, not by a military coup, and that was in ... Iran. Recall that in 1979, when the Iranian people rose up against the Shah of Iran in an Islamic Revolution spearheaded by Ayatollah Khomeini, the shah controlled the army, the SAVAK secret police and a vast network of oil-funded patronage. But at some point, enough people taking to the streets and defying his authority, and taking bullets as well, broke the shah’s spell. All the shah’s horses and all the shah’s men couldn’t put his regime back together again. The Islamic Revolution has learned from the shah. It has used its oil wealth — Iran is the world’s fifth-largest oil producer, exporting about 2.1 million barrels a day at about $70 a barrel — to buy off huge swaths of the population with cheap housing, government jobs and subsidized food and gasoline. It’s also used its crude to erect a

vast military force — namely the Revolutionary Guard and the Basij militia — to keep itself in power. Therefore, the big question in Iran today is: Can the green revolution led by Mir Hussein Moussavi, and backed by masses of street protesters, do to the Islamic regime what Khomeini and the Iranian people did to the shah’s regime — break its spell so all its barrels and bullets become meaningless? Iran’s ruling mullahs always were ruthless. But they disguised it a bit with faux elections. I say faux elections because although the regime may have counted the votes accurately, it tightly controlled who could run. The choices were dark black and light black. What happened this time is that the anger at the regime had reached such a level — because of near-20 percent unemployment and a rising youth population tired of seeing their life’s options limited by theocrats — that given a choice between a dark black regime candidate and See Friedman, page 5A

An apology, at last, with an escape clause Clarence Page

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

What if Congress apologized for slavery and nobody cared? The Senate on Thursday followed the House in voting to apologize for slavery and the Jim Crow segregation that followed it. In other words, it only took almost 150 years and the election of an African American who is not descendPage ed from slavery to move Congress to apologize for slavery. Thanks, senators, but you’re a little late. As “senior black correspondent” Larry Wilmore quipped on “The Daily Show”: “I thought Obama’s election was our apology.” He was joking, but not by much. After all, part of the appeal of Obama’s victory was its symbolic message of post-

racial optimism: We were ready as a diverse nation to stand together as Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed, put our ugly racial past behind us and look to a better future. By contrast, the slavery apology issue erupts at a convenient time for Congress but an inconvenient distraction for Obama. Talk of slavery apologies leads to the more volatile dollars-andsense issue of monetary reparations, which counters Obama’s come-together optimism with a taint of old-school “Where’s mine?” political spoils. To ease its passage, the Senate resolution contains a significant escape clause: It is not to serve as a basis for any lawsuit against the United States. That means the measure did not have to address the racially divisive issue of whether we, the descendants of American slavery, are owed any financial reparations. Minus that thorny issue, the resolution passed so quickly that

it almost made papers fly around the room. With no political or monetary cost attached, opposition to slavery is so easy even a bipartisan coalition of senators can do it, especially by a voice vote. Yet, after a year of work on the resolution, sponsors Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) found reason to celebrate. The House passed a similar measure last July. The Senate passed an apology for Native Americans in February 2008. Again, it was better late than never, I suppose, but not by much. The House apology did not contain a no-reparations clause like the Senate version. That’s led to a talk of a reconsideration of the measure in the House next week to conform the resolution to the Senate version. Members of the Congressional Black Caucus oppose See Page, page 5A

As a reader and person concerned with the health of the planet, I want to highlight the recent release of the ground-breaking government science report entitled “Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States,” which presents a clear picture of global warming’s threats to Colorado. Among other concerns, decreasing snowpack and water availability are highlighted as major climate-related impacts to our region. Yet, despite the report’s dire predictions for a warming world, I believe this is a much-needed wakeup call and an important opportunity for all of us to take action with timely solutions for our planet and economy. Already, the negative repercussions of climate change can be seen in our beloved Colorado Rockies where changing precipitation patterns have reduced snowmelt and runoff. As snowpack decreases, Colorado’s water supply will face increasing shortages, placing agricultural, community and recreational needs in competition with one another, particularly in late summer. In view of these impacts on our economy and beautiful landscape, I encourage our representatives to act now. Congress soon will vote on a historic bill, the American Clean Energy and Security Act (also known as the Waxman-Markey Bill) that will help protect our communities and natural resources from the effects of global warming. That is why we need U.S. Rep. John Salazar, D-Colo., to support this effort to protect Colorado for future generations by reducing carbon pollution, creating new green jobs and preserving our state’s natural beauty and the benefits they provide. Our future depends on it.

Think of community To the anti-development bloggers: Your cowardice is clear from your usernames, and your ignorance is exposed in your comments. I have lived full time in Steamboat Springs for more than 11 years. I was married here, have three children here and have started and maintain multiple businesses in town that serve the community and provide for my family. In the past 11 years, our companies have provided employment and livelihood for hundreds of different people in Steamboat, including singles, families, men, women, businessmen and businesswomen, ski bums and various other types of locals. Today, our companies provide a paycheck for more than 80 families with more than 100 children in Steamboat. All these people are the ones you see eating at restaurants, at the parades, shopping, dropping their children at school, working out at Old Town Hot Springs, on the Yampa River Core Trail, in the grocery store and at all the other activities that make them a local. We have built numerous affordable houses for local families and have built just as many “unaffordable” second homes for part-time residents. We work with See Letters, page 5A

Iranians cannot back down All promises must be kept Friedman continued from 4A a light black regime candidate, millions of Iranians turned out for light black: Moussavi. The Iranian people turned the regime man into their own candidate, and he seems to have been transformed by them. That is why the regime panicked and stole the election. The playwright Tom Stoppard once observed that democracy is not the voting, “it’s the counting.” Iran’s mullahs always were ready to allow voting, as long as the counting didn’t matter, because a regime man always was going to win. But what happened this time was that in the little crack of space that the regime had to allow for even a faux election, some kind of counter-revolution was born. Yes, its leader, Moussavi, surely is less liberal than most of his followers. But just his lighter shade of black attracted and unleashed so much pentup frustration and hope for change among many Iranians that he became an independent candidate and, thus, his votes simply could not be counted — because they were not just a vote for him but were a referendum against the entire regime. But now, having voted with

their ballots, Iranians who want a change will have to vote again with their bodies. A regime like Iran’s can only be brought down or changed if enough Iranians vote as they did in 1979 — in the street. That is what the regime fears most, because then it either has to shoot its own people or cede power. That is why it was no accident that the “supreme leader,” Ayatollah Khamenei, warned protesters in his Friday speech that “street challenge is not acceptable.” That’s a man who knows how he got his job. And so the gauntlet now is thrown down. If the reformers want change, they are going to have to form a leadership, lay out their vision for Iran and keep voting in the streets — over and over and over. Only if they keep showing up with their bodies, and by so doing saying to their regime, “We cannot be bought, and we will not be cowed,” will their ballots be made to count. I am rooting for them and fearing for them. Any real moderation of Iran’s leadership would have a hugely positive effect on the Middle East. But we and the reformers must have no illusions about the bullets and barrels they are up against.

Page continued from 4A the change. That could lead to an awkward situation of black members of Congress opposing a slavery apology. That’s what you get, ladies and gentlemen, for trying to score good feelings on the cheap. Since the resolution does not require the president’s signature, each house of Congress probably would be best off passing its own version. The senators and congressmen can pose for pictures, smile and quietly forget about their resolutions as they move on to issues that are effecting people’s lives today — like jobs, the financial markets, health care, global warming and, oh, yes, two overseas wars. The reparations issue is becoming more trouble than it is worth, partly because most of my fellow descendants of slavery don’t have much agreement on what our reparations ought to be. Harvard law Prof. Charles Ogletree, a consultant for the Senate resolution, has helped waged successful lawsuits aimed at insurance companies, universities and others who profited from slav-

ery. The courts are a better recourse than Congress when you have specific offenders and the paperwork to back up your case. But most of slavery’s legacy is not so conveniently documented. This long after the offense, it is not easy to assess damages. The original victims of slavery are long dead. With each passing year, it is more difficult to trace whose descendants might be owed what. “Forty acres and a mule,” the suggestion offered orally but never legally at the end of the Civil War, doesn’t mean what it used to. Reparations for segregation are no less problematic. Some of us are old enough to remember legal segregation of schools, jobs, housing, hotels, public restrooms and drinking fountains. But how do you put a price on that? Obama’s got the right idea. The damage of slavery and segregation can best be undone by all of us Americans’ keeping our promises to the next generations. We need to help every child to have access to decent schools, housing and nutrition — regardless of race, creed or ancestral conditions of servitude.

Recognize the opportunity we have for improvement local charities in raising funds for nonprofits, and we donate hours of work to the same. We are involved with housing committees, development committees, growth committees and education committees — all that work to protect Steamboat and provide for its people and future. To assume that developers are from out of town and are just here to “make a few million and then leave” shows enormous ignorance and selfcenteredness. To assert that you know better than the thousands of community members that participated in the Steamboat Springs Area Community Plan and the Mountain Town Sub Area Plan localizing density

and growth at the base area is ridiculous and shows that you do not really have the community’s interest in mind but, instead, your own selfserving agenda. To threaten elected officials shows again the sub-level character from which you operate and the lack of maturity you possess in dealing with contention. And, above all, your comments reveal the fact that you are not truly part of the core of the Steamboat community. What City Council has kept in mind and continues to keep in mind is the large majority of people that make up our community. The ones who actually live and work in our community and are not just spectators; the ones who actually participate organically in making

Steamboat Springs a living, breathing, operating community of people. People who need jobs, need the opportunity for homes, need parks and trails, need schools and libraries, need streets and public spaces and, above all, need a governing body that is planning for their futures. These people need a mature, determined council, such as we have, that will guide the growth of our community, not obstruct it, and in turn provide for them the opportunity to make a living. I strongly suggest that every person and family that is living and making a living in this town consider the impacts, short term and long term, of our primary economic engine — the base area — lying in ruins and, worse yet, under-

developed. Every working-class community member, from waiters, carpenters, fishing guides, ski instructors, coaches and teachers, investors, Realtors, entrepreneurs, main street business owners and base area business owners, along with their futures, will be detrimentally affected by a short-sighted redevelopment of the base area. May we all realize the opportunity that is at our fingertips and the legacy of provision we can leave for our families — the next generation of locals.

LARRY TOD LUCAS

FLORENCE LORENE WORKMAN

1947-2009

Larry Tod Lucas died June 13, 2009, after battling cancer. He was 61. Larry was born Oct. 25, 1947, in Los Alamos, Lucas N.M., the first child of Duane Lemar Lucas and Ann Arntson Lucas. Larry’s family lived in various locations, eventually settling in Bow Mar, Colo. He was raised with two loving sisters, Karen and Debra. Larry attended Bear Creek High School, graduating as valedictorian in 1965. He went on to the University of Colorado in Boulder, where he majored in economics. While at CU, Larry met his future wife, Penny Susan Walker. They were married April 18, 1970, and celebrated their 39th wedding anniversary in 2009. Larry enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1969. Upon finishing his military service, Larry completed his master’s degree in economics at CU. The couple then moved to Arizona where Larry taught at Cochise College and earned his MBA at Northern Arizona University. Matthew Tod Lucas was born May 6, 1977. The family soon moved to San Diego and welcomed daughter Erin Kathleen Lucas on June 27, 1979. The Lucases moved back

1921-2009

to Colorado in 1980, and for the next several years, Larry taught part-time, worked in the aerospace field and cherished time with his family. In 1990, Larry became assistant campus dean of instruction and part-time instructor at Colorado Mountain College’s Alpine Campus in Steamboat Springs. In 2003, the Lucases moved to Fort Collins, and Larry worked as a program director and business instructor at Front Range Community College through the spring 2009 semester.

Florence Lorene Workman, age 88, passed away at the Yampa Valley Medical Center on June 8, 2009. The cause was Workman cancer. She had been living in her apartment at Mountain Manor in Steamboat Springs. Born Jan. 28, 1921, in rural Routt County, she was the daughter of Edward and Rosie Miles and the eldest of five children. She attended country schools in her younger years and graduated from Oak Creek High School in 1940. She was certified by Colorado State University in nutrition, health and food programs as an industrial food service professional. Lorene married Lloyd R. Workman on Dec. 15, 1941. Two children were born to the marriage, Phyllis, while in Kansas, and Leland, in Steamboat. She lived in Routt County all of her life, with the exception of two years she spent in Fort Riley, Kan., where her husband was stationed with the military. Lorene served as lunchroom supervisor in the Steamboat school system from 1953 until 1973. She took pride in making sure every child had a hot and nutritious meal every day. Of the many items she created and added to the menu, nothing was more popular than her famous “Pizza Pie” that she included in her lunches at a time when most had never heard of pizza. It and other favorites still are talked about today by former students. She also supervised the kitchens at Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School and Camp and The Lowell Whiteman School for many years. She loved to bake and has made wedding, birthday and special occasion cakes for generations of Steamboat families. Throughout the years, Lorene was a member of many clubs and organizations. She always was involved with her church, a 4-H leader, LRC’s and volunteer work from

Donald James Seitz, 56, of Hamlin, Ky., passed away suddenly May 18, 2009. He was born Feb. 17, 1953. Donnie first came to the Yampa Valley area in the early ’80s on a visit to do some hiking. He then lived in Denver, working for DC Corp., of Littleton. He spent five years in Florida working construction and concrete. He received an award for helping in the design and construction of the concrete door at the X-ray facility at Cape Canaveral, Fla. In 1992, he moved to Hayden with his stepchildren Kenneth and Alicia, and their mother, Barbara. He worked for Dick Jezo, Fox Construction, Steve Peterson and Wolf Mountain Ranch. In 1997, he began work at the Hayden Power Station for Black & Veatch Co. where he became a construction manager. His travels with work took him all across the world to Ghana, South Africa, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Venezuela, Japan, Trinidad and Tobago. Donnie loved to hunt and

would fish in all the waters that he came across, using his “beloved bobbers” everywhere he went. He loved to hunt gators in the Florida waters. But he most loved riding horseback high in the country near the West Lost Lakes area, as well as the Flat Tops and Pyramid. He was preceded in death by his mother, Dolores (Schegel) Askew; stepfather, Roger Askew; and sister Belinda Rivas. He is survived by his son, Donald J. Seitz Jr., of Wilmington, Del.; stepson, Kenneth L. Henry, of Tampa Bay, Fla.; stepdaughter Alisha M. Henry, of Milner; father, Ronald Seitz, of Lyndonville, N.Y.; aunts Dorothy Emmanuale and Mary Lu Delinger, both of Medina, N.Y.; two nieces, one nephew, three great-nieces and one greatnephew. Donnie loved his family, friends, new adventures and living life to the fullest. His dream was to see as much of the world as possible. A memorial service was held in Murray, Ky., on May 28.

Roundup is in its 21st year and its 13th in Steamboat wife added. The two rarely drive the Twister, which Wes called “a trailer queen.” But he took it on the mountain tour Thursday and has driven on a racetrack in Indianapolis — not the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, home of the Indianapolis 500. For Wes Young, the classic car is a treat. “I never had anything like that growing up as a kid,” he said. “I know some people who have had the car since they first bought it. … I never had that luxury growing up, so I’m definitely reliving my youth; I can tell you that.”

DeVincentis: I don’t need a policy to know what’s fair Policy continued from 1A “You don’t split up a family,” Pete Andress said.

Similar situation Parents of six other soon-tobe kindergarten and first-graders also were called earlier this month. Including Ian, five firstgraders and two kindergartners were told they would have to attend elementary school in the district where they live. Sabrina and Daryl Kemry, of Milner, face such a situation with their 6-year-old son, Jayden. “When I had to tell him he couldn’t go back to Steamboat, it got him emotional,” Sabrina

Kemry told board members, fighting off tears. Preferential treatment is not given to students who’ve already attended the school or to students with siblings in the district, according to the interdistrict choice policy that was adopted in 1999 and revised in 2004. Class size also is part of the issue. The district’s policy at the elementary level dictates that no more than 19 students be assigned to one teacher. And it states there must be at least 10 students enrolled for another class to be created. That policy was adopted in 1983 and last amended in 2001. Next year, there isn’t room for

five first-graders and two kindergartners. Between the district’s two elementary schools, Soda Creek and Strawberry Park, there are seven first-grade classes and seven full-day kindergarten classes. Superintendent Shalee Cunningham said last week that the district was out of classroom space. Board member John DeVincentis said he’s always been a proponent of keeping classes small, but in this case, with only seven children affected by the policy, he was concerned about splitting up families. “I don’t need a policy to know what’s fair to a 7-year-old,” he said.

Possible outcomes Because the inter-district choice policy is administrative, Cunningham would be the one who could change it, she said Wednesday. She’s gathering information to evaluate the policy. School Board President Robin Crossan said Wednesday that board members could discuss the issue at their Aug. 12 and 13 workshop, though that usually is reserved to outline the board’s goals for the upcoming school year. The board’s next regular meeting is Aug. 24. Cunningham said the issue isn’t final until the fall, when the district knows exactly how many children will be attending its schools.

People interested in commenting can visit www.yvea.com “They want to continue in the same direction, which is progressive but reliable forms of power,” McGill said. Holland and Moore-Kemp said they were disappointed about the defeat. Holland ran and lost twice previously. They said they would continue promoting environmentally friendly energy. “Energy efficiency is proven to be a winning investment for utilities on many levels — economic and environmental,” MooreKemp stated in an e-mail. “I will continue to be an active member of my electric co-op by attending board meetings and contacting the board members who work on

our behalf.” About 80 people attended Saturday morning’s meeting, where YVEA officials addressed annual business and took questions from co-op members. Dignitaries present included state Sen. Al White, R-Hayden, former state Sen. Jack Taylor, of Steamboat Springs, and Craig City Councilor Ray Beck. Also present was Steamboat resident Margaret Monger, who has attended each of YVEA’s 69 annual meetings. Officials addressed concerns, conservation and good news. Chairman James Simos acknowledged problems with animal-caused outages last year. “If a raccoon gets into a sub-

station, he never does it again,” Simos joked. YVEA has traps at three of its 19 substations to catch and release critters, General Manager Larry Covillo said. Covillo noted that YVEA has the lowest rates of any state cooperative and said he hopes to keep it that way. The cooperative did a survey last year and found that customers were largely satisfied with YVEA’s service. Covillo encouraged people to conserve energy and use compact fluorescent light bulbs. Each household gets one free a year. Co-op members also can participate in the Yampa Valley Electric Green Power Program to buy energy from wind and other

renewable sources. Covillo asked that people contact their legislators to protest carbon emissions caps. YVEA leaders think the proposed program is unfair because some states would get more credits than they need while others would have to buy them. Colorado would require 35 percent more than its allotment, Covillo said. People interested in commenting can go to www.yvea.com and click on “Our Energy, Our Future.” Covillo reiterated that YVEA is not opposed to saving energy. “We do continue to encourage conservation as a first measure. … Reduction in carbon starts at home,” he said.

Rangers have the authority to arrest intoxicated boaters BUI continued from 1A jumping a wake of another boat, or too close to people on shore, … we’ll stop them and do a safety inspection,” he said. Lehman said the tests usually include a 20-minute wait on shore to remove the possibility that a person is only off-balance because of being on the water, then a series of sobriety tests. Rangers can contact boaters either on the water or at the marina. If rangers determine there is probable cause that the pilot is intoxicated, they have the authority to arrest the person and take them to the Routt County Jail for a breath test.

Sentences for first-time offenders range from five days to six months in jail, and a fine of $100 to $1,000, as many as two years probation and a mandatory three-month ban on boating in state waters.

All vessels included One of the biggest changes to the boating regulations that passed last year was a change in terminology about the kind of craft that applies to BUI regulations. The new language expands “sailboats and motorboats” to any “vessels” on the water, including inflatable craft. “Now, any person operating or in physical control of any ves-

sel can be arrested. That includes watercraft operated by motor, wind, paddle and oar; such as jet skis, sailboats, motorboats, kayaks, canoes and rafts,” the Colorado State Parks Web site states. Even with the increase in watercrafts to police, the rangers said they did not anticipate problems on the lakes this year. There have been no BUI arrests in the past two years at Steamboat Lake, Schuler said. Lehman said there was one arrest at Stagecoach Reservoir at the end of last boating season, but no others in the past two years that he was aware of. “Fortunately at our lake, no, it

is not a major problem,” Schuler said. “We have a pretty safe lake; we don’t have a lot of reckless boaters.” Lehman said he thinks there are more intoxicated boaters than the rangers are able to catch but again said there have not been major problems. Staff at both lakes will start a public education campaign in the coming weeks to inform boaters about the new regulations. Rangers will be on the lakes throughout the holiday weekends this summer.

Youngs said. Wes and Jo have been interested in classic cars for years, and they bought their first one at the 2005 Roundup in Steamboat. That was a 1967 coupe, which they still have. They restored the Twister from a rusty red heap to the shining orange and black vehicle they showed Saturday, complete with factory specifications. Wes Young said the project was costly but worth it. “I made a lot more investing in this car than I did in my 401(k),” he said. “And it’s a lot more fun,” his

His club is one of the six that organize the event with the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association. The Roundup is in its 21st year, its 13th in Steamboat. The other organizing clubs are the Front Range Mustang Club, the Denver Mustang Club, the Rocky Mountain Mustangers, the Shelby Auto-

mobile Club of Colorado and the High Country Mustang Club. Cars competed in an autocross event Friday, and volunteer judges picked winners in 45 classes Saturday. Those will be announced today at a breakfast for participants. At the Youngs’ Twister, Wes and Jo ate lunch next to their car, which is painted with Ford’s signature Grabber Orange.

Skiers continued from 3A Colorado to ski.” Colorado might see a significant shift in international tourism for the 2009-10 season, Wirth said. The United Kingdom typically represents 58 to 65 percent of the state’s international skiers. But the economy has tanked severely, and Australia might move up, he said. “A lot of consumer research indicates not only is their economy recovering more quickly, but our travel research indicates the Australian traveler is returning to travel a lot more quickly,” Wirth said. Australians have made up

the second-largest group of international skiers, representing 20 to 25 percent of the group, he said. But it could overtake the U.K., which would be a significant shift, Wirth said. The decrease at Colorado Ski Country USA resorts amounts to 500,000 fewer visits than in 2007-08. But the numbers don’t include Vail Resorts properties, which left the trade group in May 2008. According to Ski Country, total Colorado visits were about 11.85 million, a 5.5 percent decrease from 2007-08. Nationally, skier visits are down 5.5 percent, and the Rocky Mountain region saw a

7.2 percent decrease, according to Ski Country. Although he acknowledged a decline, Wirth sounded his typical note of optimism about the future. Airfares are down, and Steamboat’s customers gave positive feedback about the service they received last season, he said. Wirth acknowledged that it requires effort. “Every skier coming to this town is something we’re going to have to work to get,” Wirth said. Still, he said, he’s confident. “Even in this tough economy, we have one of the strongest, if not the strongest brand in the ski industry,” Wirth said. “I like our chances going into next year.”

ing, he said. “It goes a long ways,” Hurth said. “It’ll help save water, and it’ll pay for itself.” He suggested that people consider replacing their shower heads and toilets with products bearing a WaterSense label. For appliances, Energy Star labels indicate efficiency. Businesses and residences also can get tax credits for switching to geothermal heating and cooling. Major Heating & A/C, which has offices in Steamboat, offers those systems. Geothermal uses the theory of refrigeration to heat and cool air, Micah McKinnies, marketing and development spokesman, said in an interview. “We’re using the constant temperature of the earth to heat your house,” he said. “We’re either taking heat from the earth to heat your house or in the summer would be taking heat from your house and putting it in the earth.” The systems are efficient and offer consistent temperatures, McKinnies said. “If you take a standard furnace, a high-efficiency furnace, it’s 94 percent,” he said. “For every dollar you put into heating and cooling, 94 percent is turned into heating and cooling. For geothermal, you’re getting

300 to 600 percent.” For example, a 3,500-squarefoot house in Denver saw an annual utility bill of $350 for heating, cooling and hot water, McKinnies said. At the June 12 lunch, Steve Hoots, project/energy manager for Steamboat Springs, encouraged business owners to discuss green improvements with their landlords. “It’s something your landlord should take some ownership in because there is some benefit to their property,” Hoots said.

Tree planting planned The Sustainable Business Program, run by the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association, now has 64 members.

Businesses also can contribute to Cents for Steamboat, formerly called One Percent for Steamboat. That program allows businesses’ customers to contribute to conservation projects in town. Black Tie Ski Rentals and Life Essentials Wellness Spa have joined. One of the sustainability program’s first grass-roots projects is a tree planting planned for Friday at Steamboat Lake State

Foreclosures in Routt County at 72 in 2009 Routt County Treasurer Jeanne Whiddon confirms that as of this week, her office has been asked to initiate 72 foreclosure proceedings in 2009. That compares with 31 as of this date in 2008. Total foreclosures initiated for 2008 was 55. Not all foreclosure proceedings culminate in the lending institution that holds the deed taking possession of the property in question. That has happened 23 times since 2007, according to the treasurer’s records.

Contract in Basalt with Whole Foods falls through Basalt was all set to get a Whole Foods store this year, but The Aspen Times reporter Scott Condon reported this week that the Willits Town Center developer, Chicagobased Joseph Freed & Associates, failed to deliver on a contract with Whole Foods on June 1. Condon reported the developer lost the financing for a 44,000-square-foot building shell. Whole Foods remains interested in Basalt but under different terms.

Fairplay housing project aims for $250K homes Single-family homes for less than $250,000? Reporter Alex Miller, of the Summit Daily News, writes that that’s the goal of a development consortium planning a new housing project in Fairplay, on the opposite side of Hoosier Pass from Breckenridge. Preservation Village is a joint venture between Denver’s Preservation Development Group, Breckenridge architect Baker + Houx and Biltmore Realty, Miller reports. The plan is to build as many as 40 townhomes, cottages and single-family homes during the next five years.

New rules wreck deals Recently enacted appraisal regulations frustrate market

ocal lenders, real estate agents and appraisers are bemoaning recently enacted appraisal regulations that have frustrated an already difficult market and spoiled potential sales, refinancings and efforts to access homeSTORY BY lines of BRANDON GEE equity credit. The Home Valuation Code of Conduct was implemented May 1 and prohibits communication between appraisers and real estate agents, loan officers or mortgage brokers. Instead, appraisals must be ordered through appraisal-management companies, new middlemen in the process that cycle through a roster of appraisers and take a cut of their fees. Whether they think it was a problem, many involved in mortgage deals locally and nationwide say they are supportive of efforts to reduce collusion and shield appraisers from being pressured to inflate home values. They say the HVCC, however, is a solution that has proven far worse than the problem by creating delays, removing flexibility, decreasing appraisal quality and substantially increasing costs. The National Association of Mortgage Brokers, which is working to see the regulations repealed, estimates the HVCC is costing consumers more than $2.8 billion a year in extra fees. “I think the intention was good, but the result is really going to make things difficult,” said John Truslow, of Castle Appraisals in Steamboat Springs. “To have a lack of communication throughout the entire process really hurts everybody. … I think it’s a disaster in the making, and I see nothing

SUNDAY FOCUS

good coming out of it. “The last thing you need to be doing right now is killing real estate deals because of the HVCC … and that’s what’s happening.” Truslow said he has lost business because of the rules because anybody with a Colorado appraiser’s license has an equal chance of receiving an assignment from an AMC regardless of his or her experience, skill or familiarity with a local market. Truslow also said AMCs take a cut of the appraisal fee and seek the lowest rate possible. He said he used to receive an average fee of about $400 for an appraisal, and now that number has dropped to $250 to $300. “The impetus to do a good job is exactly where?” said Kathy Arce, of Phoenix Resources Mortgage in Steamboat. “The idea of it is fine. It’s to take all fraud out of the appraisals. It’s not a bad idea, but it doesn’t work. And the customer is suffering as a result. … The appraisals are not as carefully done. … We, as brokers, can no longer work with appraisers that we have good working relationships with.” Cam Boyd, managing broker and co-owner of Prudential Steamboat Realty, said he has begun receiving calls from out-of-town appraisers asking him questions about properties he’s been involved with in the past. He takes that as a sign that the appraisers don’t have a good understanding of the Steamboat market. Arce, Boyd and Ed Allbright, of Columbine Mortgage in Steamboat, said they have seen deals fall through because of appraisal stumbling blocks since the HVCC was implemented. See Regulations, page 2B

The single-family homes were among 33 properties listed Wednesday, bringing the total number of properties on the market in Routt County to more than 2,098.

development’s 86 units. About 60 more units are under contract, and Pearson said they are scheduled to close beginning in July and continuing through August. Trailhead Lodge is a $71 million condominium project that broke ground in summer 2007. The five-story building comprises 184,000 square feet. In early April, Pearson said he expected contracts to begin closing soon, and he acknowledged

Wednesday that the process is a couple of weeks behind. “It’s mostly just people arranging their financing,” Pearson said. “The financial world has become a very different place, and they require much more information from people and much more detailed underwriting documents. It takes much more time than everybody is used to.” Nonetheless, Pearson remains See Trailhead, page 2B

Resorts president: Demand is more than expected

confident that the units under contract will close, which he said is a bright sign for Steamboat in the midst of dark economic times. “We are very encouraged by what we’re seeing,” Pearson said. “We’re encouraged by the confidence in Steamboat Springs.” Steamboat Resorts President Bob Milne said he also is encouraged by the project. Steamboat Resorts took over management of the property May 1, is marketing the property for nightly rentals and has seen a handful of guests. “The demand we’re seeing initially is more than we expected,” Milne said. “We really didn’t push a lot for summer. We’ve been marketing it for winter, and there’s a lot of interest for winter. “I think some people are looking for some new options in lodging, and that’s a good one,” Milne

continued. “Our reservation agents are getting a lot of questions, which is a good sign.” Ultimately, Milne expects 80 to 90 percent of units at Trailhead Lodge to enter the rental program. And, although only three units have closed, Milne said he is working with Resort Ventures West on a program that would allow units to enter the rental pool if they are scheduled to close, even if they haven’t yet. Although interest in Trailhead Lodge has exceeded expectations, Milne was hesitant to make any predictions about the property’s ultimate success or the strength of the upcoming winter season overall. Milne noted that most winter reservations aren’t made until after the Fourth of July. “I don’t have a good feel yet on … next winter,” Milne said. “It will take some time. They’re going to be subject to the same market conditions as everybody else and maybe even a bit more challenges

because it’s a new property.” Pearson was similarly cautiously optimistic about his expectations for the remainder of the Trailhead Lodge units that are not under contract. He acknowledged there is little absorption in the market right now but said he is hopeful lending will loosen up later this summer and fall. “We’re not finding that the product is the issue but that lending is holding people up,” Pearson said. Elsewhere in Wildhorse Meadows, Pearson said Resort Ventures West is moving quickly to receive city approval for a $3 million pulse gondola that would carry skiers from the development near the Meadows parking lot to the public plaza at One Steamboat Place near Gondola Square. Pearson said he hopes to see construction of the gondola begin in August. “We are still on schedule to have that running by January,”

he said. Pearson said Resort Ventures West also continues to work with the city of Steamboat Springs to arrange financing for contract holders at First Tracks. The city plans to use collected affordablehousing fees to loan down-payment assistance to 10 remaining contract holders. The remainder of units in First Tracks will be marketed for sale without deed restrictions later this summer, Pearson said. The arrangement is part of an approved request from Resort Ventures West to amend its community housing plan for Wildhorse Meadows, replacing deed-restricted units with a payment in lieu for some units, combined with a voluntary 0.5 percent real estate transfer tax on initial sales. There also will be a 0.5 percent real estate transfer tax on each resale transaction for the remainder of Wildhorse Meadows.

New process prevents transferring lender appraisals Regulations continued from 1B “We had a couple of transactions fall through because of appraisals that probably were not done correctly,” Boyd said. “The new rules are making it a lot harder for us.”

Multitude of problems Lower quality appraisals, however, is just one of many downsides to the process, opponents say. Arce said she used to be

able to call an appraiser and ask whether a home value being sought was realistic before paying for an appraisal. “We used to be able to figure out if a deal was doable before doing the whole thing,” Arce said. “Now, we can’t even inquire as to whether it’s in the ballpark. … We did not influence the appraiser to say we need this value, but we could ask their honest opinion.” Allbright said he used to be able to have technical errors in an

appraisal corrected the same day by calling the appraiser. Now disputes, even small technical ones, must be handled through the AMC and can take longer than a week to resolve. That alone can be enough to kill time-sensitive real estate deals. “It’s god-awful,” Allbright said. “Timing is critical here. … You end up banging your head against the table.” Customers also no longer can transfer an appraisal between

lenders. If they find a better deal or otherwise decide to switch lenders, they must repeat the entire HVCC appraisal process. “If the borrower wants to explore another option, they can, but they have to pay another $400 for a new appraisal,” said Arce, who said she knows customers who have had to buy as many as three appraisals. “That’s unacceptable in my mind.”

Sledgehammer for a fly The HVCC is the result of a deal struck between New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the federal government-backed mortgage companies. Although inflated appraisals may have been a legitimate problem in New York and other parts of the country, Truslow, Arce, Boyd and Allbright said there was not a problem in Steamboat. “They’re using a great big sledgehammer to kill a fly,” Allbright said. Local appraiser Jim Yannaccone, of ASI Appraisal Services, disagreed and said he absolutely has felt pressure from lenders to inflate home values. “There was definitely a need for more impartiality,” Yannaccone said. “There were some lenders who had appraisers they knew they could call to look the other way. … That’s the good part (about the HVCC), is we can give an honest opinion of value.” Even so, Yannaccone said he is not a fan of the HVCC overall. He complained about his inability to ask simple questions of lenders or brokers and noted that the HVCC system is not conducive to a unique resort market such as Steamboat’s. “I send my appraisal to somebody who is sitting in a high-rise in Chicago. They don’t understand the market,” Yannaccone said. “It’s costing the consumers a lot of money and the lenders a lot of time. What we used to be able to do in two to three weeks is taking six to eight weeks.”

King earns scholarship Sailors star makes verbal commitment to University of Denver

No need for riot police

he sting lasted for a few days, but the hangover from the Denver Nuggets, 4-2, series loss to the Los Angeles Lakers could have haunted me for the rest of the summer. Thankfully, a well-timed vacation to Las Vegas and a few highlights from the Lakers’ celebration party were all it took to bring a smile back to my face. It’s not that I’m a poor sport. The Lakers beat the Nuggets and rolled past the Orlando Magic in the NBA Finals. The team deserves to celebrate the championship. But is it really worthy of a parade? In my closed mind, I feel like parades should be reserved for things like the Fourth of July and New Year’s Day, when most people are too hungover to tune in for TV. I’m a huge Broncos fan, I love the Avalanche, and my love for the Nuggets dates back to David Thompson and Dan Issel — before he was a coach. If, by some fluke of nature, the Nuggets had upset the heavily favored Los Angeles team and won the title, we would have endured sevenday-a-week coverage, and we would have a new state color, powder blue, and a new state bird, Chris Andersen. The good news is that Colorado sports fans didn’t have to endure the crowds, traffic and frustration that would have come from a downtown parade or the mass assembly at Civic Center Park. The Avalanche hosted huge celebrations after the 1995-96 season and again after the 2000-01 season. And after the Broncos Super Bowl success in 1998 and 1999, I wondered whether Colorado would ever have regular TV again. I love the titles — I simply hate all the hype that follows the big game. After the Lakers won, Los Angeles hosted a huge celebration. The final cost was in the neighborhood of $2 million. What a waste in a state in which education and other government agencies are envious of General Motors’ current financial position. Isn’t this the same state in which American action icon Arnold Schwarzenegger can’t find the script to save the day? To be fair, all of the money for the Lakers celebration came from outside sources, but if the Lakers wanted to earn my respect, they would have encouraged donors to give the money to schools or some other public program that’s been hit with cuts in the wake of Los Angeles’ half-billion-dollar debt. But based on the number of people who came out to the Lakers’ post-championship celebration, I guess I’m in the minority. It seems the post-championship celebration has become the norm for professional sports, and those of us who don’t view it as important will be left behind. I will continue to cheer for the Denver Nuggets to win an NBA title, but don’t expect me to get too excited about a parade. Personally, I hope to be on vacation at the time.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Colleen and Tara King’s record for passing a volleyball back and forth in the family’s living room sits somewhere around 500. Of course, that was more than seven years ago. Tara, a 2006 Steamboat Springs High School graduate, channeled those sibling games into a volleyball scholarship at Mesa State College in Grand Junction.

VOLLEYBALL Now Colleen, a rising senior at Steamboat Springs High School, has turned those games into a scholarship of her own. Colleen verbally committed to play volleyball at the University of Denver after her junior year, spurning offers from the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, Colorado State University, Western State College in Gunnison, University of Idaho and Utah’s Weber State, among others. “DU,” Colleen said, “just

felt right.” It also felt like the closest thing to a family, something Colleen said remains the closest thing to her in her life. From playing living room volleyball with Tara and fellow sister Shannon, to trying to keep up with younger brothers Brody, 12, and McKenyon, 10 — who Colleen admits will be the best athletes in the family — she said when it came time to decide, DU was a place she could see herself the next four or five years. It started last summer,

when Colleen showed up late to a camp at DU. “I got there and they were really welcoming,” she said. “That’s what got my mom. They were really nurturing and caring. They got me right in the program and didn’t make me feel awkward.” As the camp began, the DU players were getting ready to scrimmage for the campers. Down a setter, Colleen was asked to play. She admitJOHN F. RUSSELL/STAFF ted she was scared inside but Steamboat Springs’ Colleen King has verbally See King, page 5C

committed to play volleyball for the University of Denver after she graduates.

A two-timin’ clown

Winklepleck unique, even for a rodeo entertainer

hey’re all different, but when you get down to the basics, every rodeo clown costume is very much the same. There are the too-big shorts, usually with painfully colorful underwear STORY BY hanging out JOEL and always REICHENBERGER with a goofy pair of suspenders holding them up. There’s always a bright shirt, always paint slopped across the clown’s face and always a wild wig tucked under an unpractical hat. J.W. Winklepleck, though, performed at Friday’s Steamboat Springs Pro Rodeo Series event — the first roping and riding event of the summer — with a little something extra. He wore a large and shiny belt buckle, unique for clowns — but not at all unique to rodeos — and perfectly appropriate in Steamboat Springs. “I won it in 2000,” he said. “I won the season bareback competition here in Steamboat Springs.” That’s what separates Winklepleck from the masses of rodeo clowns. He’s been a rodeo man every day of his life, and he said thanks to clowning, he will be one every day for a long time, too. It’s all a part of the appeal that has Winklepleck performing for five of the 10 rodeo weekends this summer in Steamboat. “We talk a lot of rodeo around our house,” he said, chuckling as he cast a glance at his wife, Brenda, who traveled with him to Steamboat for the weekend. “I couldn’t imagine it without it.” See Rodeo, page 5C

Barnes hits record score at US Open Doug Ferguson

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FARMINGDALE, N.Y.

Another day at the U.S. Open ended with a familiar drill. Players dodged puddles in the parking lot as they headed to their cars, a round left incomplete for the third straight day. The maintenance crew grabbed squeegees and pumps as they headed out to Bethpage Black to wage a losing battle against the rain. Not so familiar were some of the numbers on the leaderboard — and the names next to them. Ricky Barnes, who took six years to reach the big leagues, now is in the record book with

the lowest 36-hole score in the 109 years of the U.S. Open. He knocked in a 45-foot birdie putt on his 17th hole Saturday, completed a bogey-free 65 in his second round and reached the tournament’s halfway point at 8-under 132. He is among eight players yet to hit a single shot in the rain. One shot behind was Lucas Glover, whose lone PGA Tour victory came at Disney four years ago. He faced a 20-foot birdie putt for a chance to shoot 63, the lowest round ever in a major, but settled for a 64. At least he tied the course KATHY KMONICEK/NEWSDAY record, set one day earlier by Ricky Barnes plays on the eighth hole at the U.S. Open at Bethpage Black See U.S. Open, page 4C

in Farmingdale, N.Y., on Saturday. Barnes hit the lowest 36-hole score in the 109year history of the U.S. Open.

Rugby match a draw Steamboat, Blue Goose play to 18-all Bryce Evans

SUMMIT DAILY NEWS

BRECKENRIDGE

After 79 minutes of play on a sloppy pitch at Breckenridge’s Kingdom Park, the entire match came down to one kick or, rather, a non-kick. The score was knotted at 18 as the Gentlemen of the Blue Goose Rugby Club held possession in a ruck — a contested scramble for the ball — near Steamboat Springs’ end line. Then Steamboat was called for a penalty, allowing the Goose a choice between a free kick — which would have been relatively short and straight-on — or taking possession. In a rash decision, the Goose took the ball, not the kick, and eventually missed a much more difficult kick in the final seconds. “I think it was a rush of blood to someone’s head,” Goose head coach Peter Clark said about why his team made the quick decision. “We should have taken the game at the end. That last (kick) was actually harder than the first one we would have had.” So, in their first home match of the season, the Goose couldn’t overcome their opponent or the weather, ending with an 18-18 draw. “Steamboat’s been the best team in the league the last couple of years, so 18-all isn’t bad at all,” Clark added. Steamboat player and coach Michael Hurley was impressed with the performance of his team, especially with it being early in the summer. “I was really impressed with the effort from the guys. We had a lot of new players, a lot of guys who haven’t played rugby before,” Hurley said. “Overall, no one likes to get a draw, but for a first time out, I was really impressed.” As far as the weather goes, Hurley didn’t have too high of expectations heading into Saturday’s match. “Every time you come to Breckenridge in the summer, you expect it to either hail, rain or snow,” he said. “That’s just Breckenridge for ya.” Well, by those standards, the driving rains, wind gusts and frigid temperatures at Kingdom Park on Saturday could be considered average, though it’s doubtful any of the parka-clad See Rugby, page 5C

A LOOK AT WIMBLEDON: Surface: Grass courts. Site: The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Schedule: Play begins Monday. The women’s singles final is July 4, the men’s singles final is July 5. 2008 Men’s Singles Champion: Rafael Nadal of Spain, who withdrew from this year’s tournament Friday, citing injured knees. He is only the second reigning men’s champion in the past 35 years to not defend the Wimbledon title. 2008 Women’s Singles Champion: Venus Williams of the United States. Last Year: Nadal beat Roger Federer 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-7 (8), 9-7 in 4 hours, 48 minutes, the longest singles final in Wimbledon history. It gave Nadal his first Wimbledon title and ended Federer’s streak of five consecutive championships at the All England Club. Williams won her fifth Wimbledon title by beating younger sister Serena 7-5, 6-4 in the final. New This Year: Centre Court now has a retractable roof, which will allow for matches to be played while it’s raining. Key Statistic: 14 — Number of Grand Slam singles titles won by both Federer and Pete Sampras, the most by a man. Federer tied Sampras’ record by winning the French Open this month and can break it by winning Wimbledon. Prize Money: Total is 12,550,000 pounds (about $20.5 million), with 850,000 pounds (about $1.4 million) each to the men’s and women’s singles champions.

Rodriguez-less Yankees fall to Marlins, 2-1 MIAMI

Josh Johnson pitched seven innings of three-hit ball, Dan Uggla homered, and the Marlins took advantage of a Yankees lineup without Alex Rodriguez. Johnson (7-1) struck out five and walked two, outpitching former Marlins teammate A.J. Burnett (5-4).

Cardinals 7, Royals 1 KANSAS CITY, MO.

Khalil Greene hit a late three-run homer, Albert Pujols hit a two-run shot, and Chris Carpenter outpitched Brian Bannister to give the St. Louis Cardinals a 7-1 win against the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. Pujols was a key factor in Friday night’s win, had even bigger role in this one, hitting his 24th homer off Bannister (5-4) to put the Cardinals up, 3-0, in the sixth inning. Greene sealed it in the ninth, lifting a shot just over the wall in left field.

Cubs 6, Indians 5, 13 innings CHICAGO

Andres Blanco hit a tying single and then scored the winning run on Kerry Wood’s wild pitch in the 13th inning to lift the Cubs. Luis Valbuena hit his second homer of the game, a solo shot in the top of the 13th, to give the Indians a 5-4 lead. But after blowing the save Friday night by giving up a ninth-inning homer to Derrek Lee, Wood (2-3) gave up a leadoff single Saturday to Kosuke Fukudome. Fukudome made it to third on a steal and error. With the infield playing in, Blanco slapped a grounder past Valbuena to tie the game, and after Aaron Miles dropped a single into shallow left, Wood’s wild pitch brought home the winning run.

Red Sox 3, Braves 0

MLB ROUNDUP terymate Derek Lowe (7-5), who spent 7 1/2 seasons with the Red Sox and helped them end their 86-year World Series drought.

Tigers 9, Brewers 5 DETROIT

Miguel Cabrera and Placido Polanco homered, and Alfredo Figaro, called up to replace Dontrelle Willis, won his major-league debut for the Tigers. Ryan Braun homered and had four hits for the Brewers, but it wasn’t enough to help Dave Bush (3-4) lose for the fourth time in his past six starts.

Rays 3, Mets 1 NEW YORK

Carlos Pena hit a tiebreaking homer off Johan Santana in the seventh inning, sending James Shields and the Rays to a rainy win. Shields (6-5) allowed three hits in seven innings and retired his final 14 batters. He outpitched Santana, who was back in fine form after the worst start of his career. Both starters were lifted after a 73-minute rain delay in the top of the eighth. Dan Wheeler worked a perfect inning and J.P. Howell got three outs for his fourth save.

Astros 6, Twins 5 MINNEAPOLIS

Lance Berkman and Michael Bourn homered, and the Astros scored four times in the seventh to rally for a victory. Brian Moehler (4-4) evened his record despite giving up three home runs. Joe Mauer hit his career-high 14th homer and Brendan Harris and Delmon Young also connected for Minnesota.

Orioles 6, Phillies 5 PHILADELPHIA

BOSTON

Josh Beckett allowed just five singles for his first shutout since joining the Red Sox, and Jason Varitek doubled twice and scored twice to lead Boston.

Varitek helped Boston spoil the homecoming of ex-bat-

Brian Roberts hit a two-run homer with two outs in the ninth off fill-in closer Ryan Madson to lift the Orioles. Pinch-hitter Ryan Howard gave the Phillies a 5-3 lead with a three-run homer in the seventh, hours after being hospitalized for flu symptoms. But Baltimore rallied against Madson (2-3), who has two blown saves and two losses this week in place of injured closer Brad Lidge.

DAVID SANTIAGO/EL NUEVO HERALD

The New York Yankees’ Johnny Damon steals second base as the Florida Marlins’ Hanley Ramirez is late with the tag during the first inning at LandShark Stadium in Miami on Saturday. The Marlins defeated the Yankees, 2-1.

Dodgers 6, Angels 4 ANAHEIM, CALIF.

Jeff Weaver outpitched little brother Jered in a duel that was mostly a dud, as neither starter made it through the sixth inning. Jeff Weaver (4-1) pitched five-plus innings and gave up two runs and six hits, while Jered Weaver (7-3) had a rougher time. He went 5 1/3 innings and was tagged for six runs and 10 hits, including a home run by Russell Martin.

White Sox 10, Reds 8 CINCINNATI

Alexei Ramirez hit the last of four White Sox homers, and Chicago won the first Civil Rights Game played as part of the regular season. Chicago overcame a five-run deficit by scoring its first eight runs off homers. Ramirez’s three-run shot off Nick Masset broke a 5-all tie in the sixth. Daniel Ray Herrera (1-3) set up Chicago’s go-ahead rally by giving up a double and a walk in the sixth. D.J. Carrasco (2-0) got the victory with two innings in relief of Clayton Richard.

Athletics 6, Padres 3 SAN DIEGO

Adam Kennedy tied his career high with four hits, including a

home run, and scored three runs to lead the Athletics. Kennedy and Jack Cust hit back-to-back shots with two outs in the eighth off Greg Burke.

Nationals 5, Blue Jays 3, 12 innings WASHINGTON

Willie Harris hit a two-run homer in the 12th inning to help the Nationals stretch their winning streak to a season-high four games. Alberto Gonzalez led off the 12th with a single to left-center off Scott Richmond (5-4), and Harris ripped a 3-2 pitch into the Nationals’ right-field bullpen. The Nationals’ winning streak is their longest since taking seven straight from Aug. 26 to Sept. 1, 2008. Julian Tavarez (3-4) got the victory with 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief.

retired 17 straight batters at one point to lead the Mariners. Mike Sweeney broke a 2-2 tie with a bases loaded sacrifice fly in the seventh, and Franklin Gutierrez added an RBI single as Seattle won for the fourth time in five games. Vargas (3-2), a piece of the three-team, 12-player trade general manager Jack Zduriencik pulled off during last year’s Winter Meetings, looked sharp again for the Mariners.

Todd Helton hit a tworun homer with one out in the ninth inning, and the Colorado Rockies won their fourth straight game, beating the Pittsburgh Pirates, 9-7, on Saturday night. The Rockies have won 15 of the past 16. “That’s an incredible win right there, and incredible win,” manager Jim Tracy said. “We obviously had to do some very special things to win.” “There is a belief in this clubhouse we show up every day expecting to win,” he said. The Rockies improved to 17-5 since Tracy took over for Clint Hurdle on May 29.

“We’re doing some great things,” Helton said. “We’re playing well, pitching deep into the game and getting hits.” Colorado’s Chris Iannetta tied it at 7 with three-run homer in the eighth. Ian Stewart came within a single of hitting for the cycle and drove in three runs for the Rockies. Huston Street (2-1) pitched a scoreless ninth for the victory.

Pittsburgh went ahead, 2-1, in the third on Freddy Sanchez’s RBI double into the gap in right after Stewart’s RBI double. He added a triple in the next inning, scoring on an RBI single by Carlos Gonzalez. “I think that you look at significant situations that allowed the heroics of Chris and Todd,” Tracy said. “It comes down to this is a game that’s won by the Colorado Rockies baseball team.”

Phil Mickelson hits hybrid to remember Woods COMMENTARY

John Nicholson

GOLF — US OPEN

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FARMINGDALE, N.Y.

Phil Mickelson gave his adoring fans a shot to remember Saturday in the U.S. Open — a remarkable hybrid that none of the Bethpage Black regulars would even think to try, let alone have the club to play it. From 164 yards in rough left of the 15th fairway, he opened the face of the hybrid as if playing a wedge and launched a high shot — the crowd cheering as the ball took flight, trying to help it to the elevated green — that stopped 25 feet from the hole. “This is a special club I actually made, taking the back part of the hybrid out so that I can open it way up and get through that thick rough,” Mickelson said. He was 1 under — seven strokes behind leader Ricky Barnes — after rounds of 69 and 70 and a nifty par save on the first hole in third round before rain stopped play. Unsure whether he would even play the event after learnDAVID POKRESS/NEWSDAY ing wife Amy has breast cancer, Phil Mickelson lines up a putt on the 15th green at the U.S. Open at Bethpage Lefty missed the birdie putt on Black in Farmingdale, N.Y., on Friday. On Saturday, Mickelson was 1 under in the third 15, walking away with his second round before rain stopped play. par on the 459-yard par 4 — the

hole where Tiger Woods made a 6 Friday and bogeyed from the fairway Saturday. “The way the left side kind of cuts in, it’s just awkward to my eye,” Mickelson said. “I have a tendency to miss it left there. The lie wasn’t great. It was in the thick rough, but it wasn’t horrible. Short, it’s terrible there. And with those pins just on that top section, it’s very difficult to get up and down. “I thought I could get a 5iron out of that rough up by the green. And I was concerned that it might come out a little dead and be short. I took the hybrid and dug in after it and was able to get it there. I actually was trying to play over the green and get it past, but it came out dead and turned out perfect.” Mickelson returned to the soggy course early Saturday to complete the final eight holes of his second round. He was even par in rain-free conditions, dropping a stroke on the par-5 13th for the second straight day and getting back to red numbers with his second birdie on the par-3 17th. On No. 1 in the third round,

he drove in the deep left rough, hacked out to the fairway, pitched 25 feet past the hole and made the par putt. He drove in the left rough No. 2 before hard rain washed out play for the rest of the day. “I like the position I’m in,” Mickelson said after the second round. “I think that if I can get hot with the putter, I like my chances in the next two rounds.” And there will be two more rounds, no matter the weather, however long it takes. “It’s nice knowing from a player’s standpoint, because it allows you to play a certain way,” said Mickelson, never worse than fourth in four previous U.S. Opens in New York. “I wasn’t out there pressing today forcing birdies, thinking this might be 54 holes. Knowing that it’s 72 is helpful.” Although the rain has made the greens receptive, Mickelson figured the Bethpage layout has lost only a little of its bite. “I wouldn’t say it hasn’t shown its teeth,” Mickelson said. “This is a very difficult golf course. It’s long. The rough is very difficult, and just a very few yards off the fairways in spots is literally lose your ball or unplayable lie.”

Federer aims to claim 15th major

��

Howard Fendrich

WIMBLEDON, ENGLAND

��

Roger Federer is building something of a reputation as an on-court crier, and he remembers well the first time he wept after winning a match. It was July 2, 2001, at Wimbledon, the tournament that means more to him than any other. Federer was 19, up-andcoming and making his Centre Court debut in the fourth round when he stunned Pete Sampras, who was 29, seeded No. 1 and seeking an eighth Wimbledon title. “I used to cry almost after every single match I lost as a junior. It’s not at all a feeling like it’s the end of the world — of course not, because tennis is not everything — but some people can control it, some people can’t,” Federer said. “Crying

after a victory is something that started when I beat Pete.” Back then, Federer had yet to reach the semifinals, let alone win a title, at any Grand Slam event. Eight years later, as Wimbledon begins Monday with a roof over Centre Court for the first time, Federer arrives at the All England Club bidding to break Sampras’ career record of 14 major championships. And the complexion of Federer’s pursuit of a sixth Wimbledon title changed significantly Friday: He doesn’t have to worry about dealing with his nemesis, defending champion Rafael Nadal, who withdrew from the tournament because of bad knees. Nadal’s exit was the talk of the grounds Saturday, and Federer called it “very disappointing for the tournament, and also for myself.” “It’s unfortunate. I’m sad

for him, because it must have been a very difficult decision to make,” Federer said. “I’d love to play him. He’s my main rival. We’ve had some wonderful matches over the years, and especially the one here last year was the one that obviously stands out.” Ah, yes, last year, when Nadal reduced Federer to tears by winning the longest singles final in tournament history, a 4-hour, 48-minute test of skill and will that ended, 9-7, in the fifth set as darkness descended. That 2008 setback ended Federer’s streaks of 40 consecutive wins at Wimbledon and 65 in a row on grass, and he is ready to start anew. “The focus is on the first round — and the first point,” Federer said. “Trying to regain my Wimbledon crown, I guess, stands over trying to beat Pete’s record right now.”

Woods to play at 7:30 a.m. ��

U.S. Open continued from 1C Mike Weir, of Canada. And this scoring assault is likely to continue. Right when this water-logged U.S. Open began to gain traction, a burst of showers halted the third round Saturday, submerging the already saturated greens. The 60 players who made the cut, including defending champion Tiger Woods a whopping 11 shots out of the lead, are to return at 7:30 a.m. today. Sixteen players have not teed off and could face 36 holes on Sunday — weather permitting, of course. The U.S. Open hasn’t dealt with weather like this in 25 years. Woods was the only player to finish under par when the U.S. Open was held at Bethpage Black in 2002. Not many could have imagined the U.S. Open’s 36-hole scoring record being set

on this beast of a course. “Obviously, at the beginning of the week, you didn’t think that score was out there,” Barnes said. It sure wasn’t for Woods, whose bid to get back into contention was stalled by too many bogeys. He had to settle for a 69 and now must match the largest 36-hole comeback in U.S. Open history if he wants a recordtying fourth title. The previous 36-hole record was set by Jim Furyk and Vijay Singh in 2003 at Olympia Fields, another course soaked by rain. With no chance the course can get firm and fast, no record is safe. Birdies were dropping from all corners of the course — first in the morning by players completing their second rounds, and even some in the afternoon when the players on the wrong end of the draw tried hopelessly to catch up.

needs a miracle Tim Dahlberg

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FARMINGDALE, N.Y.

There are things that even the great Tiger Woods can’t control. Rain, for one, but he’s not alone. Had the USGA known what a mess the heavens would make of this U.S. Open, it would have taken the millions it put into Bethpage Black and used it to Dahlberg build a course somewhere in the desert. Then again, had the USGA known that putting Woods in the opening pairings Thursday morning would have caused such havoc on the leaderboard, it surely would have moved him to the afternoon where he would have the proper conditions to defend his title. As great as he may be, even Woods isn’t nearly that interesting when he’s 11 shots out of the lead. That doesn’t mean NBC won’t find a way to show him every five minutes Sunday as the Open marathon hopefully draws to a close. Who knows, Woods may even get more airtime than Al Roker, who made his way up to Bethpage on Saturday to drone on incessantly about weather but who mysteriously was missing by the time rain finally came. What it does mean is that Woods won’t be jetting home with any new hardware from this Open. He’s too far back, there are too many people in front of him, and, as great as he is, he’s never come from behind Sunday to win a major championship. This, of course, was supposed to be the week Woods made a triumphant return to the site of his 2002 Open win and edged closer to Jack Nicklaus with his 15th major championship. With his knee finally healed and his drives finally finding the fairways, there seemed little the other players could do but watch. Nicklaus himself predicted it would happen after Woods made birdies on the final two holes two weeks ago to win the Memorial. “If he drives the ball this way and plays this way, I’m sure it will,” Nicklaus said. “And if not, it will surprise me greatly.” Nicklaus isn’t the only one surprised. Woods arrived Monday in full swagger, confident in his swing and eager to add to a collection of major trophies second only to the 18 won by Nicklaus. Oddsmakers made him a prohibitive favorite. His fellow players fell all over themselves deferring to his greatness. Then the rain came, and Woods was out of this U.S. Open almost before he had a chance to get in. Blame the pairings and the weather for some of that. There hasn’t been a major championship in recent memory where one group of players got such an advantage over another. “Yesterday was the day that did it,” Woods said after finishing 36 holes at 3-over, then making one final par to start his third round before play was finally called because of rain Saturday. Barring some miracle, he’ll leave New York still stuck at 14 major titles and be without a major in his possession for the first time in four years. He’s still relatively young at 33, but each year that goes by without winning one of the big four will make it more difficult for him to accomplish the ultimate goal of his remarkable career, which is to win more majors than Nicklaus.

Clown has grown to love entertaining Colleen was Player of the Year as junior Rodeo continued from 1C

King continued from 1C

Born to ride Winklepleck grew up in a rodeo family near Strasburg on the eastern plains of Colorado. His father raised bucking horses and bulls, so it was natural for Winklepleck to learn to ride them. He grew into an accomplished cowboy. He earned a full ride rodeo scholarship to the University of Wyoming. He won the bareback title in Steamboat and made the regional finals every year for nearly a decade. He hasn’t lost that touch, either. He nearly took home a second buckle from Steamboat in 2007. He even finished a successful ride Friday, forcing the wig to wait as he pulled on a cowboy hat and — fully decked out in makeup — rode in the bareback competition. That same history led Winklepleck to a career as a clown. When he wasn’t riding in his family’s bucking stock shows, he was pressed into service as a barrel man.

didn’t show it at all. From there, she kept in contact with DU coach Beth Kuwata. She took her time in deciding on DU, visiting several other colleges and even turning away an early Pioneers scholarship offer. But earlier this month, and with another scholarship offer on the table, Colleen knew DU was the place she wanted to be. Colleen is being recruited as a hitter and a setter. She said, depending on how the rest of the recruiting class finishes up, she could be used as both. She said she’d like to play in a 6-2, where she’d hit in the front and set in the back. “I like hitting,” she said. “But I love setting because you have control and play

mind games with other side. It’s the best of both worlds if I could hit and set.” DU finished last season 257 overall and entered the Sun Belt Conference as the No. 3 seed. Colleen said with the Pioneers being an up-and-coming program just on the outside of the top 25, she likes the opportunities they present. And DU obviously likes what it’s getting in Colleen. As a junior, Colleen was the Player of the Year in the Western Slope League. Then, throughout the end of winter and beginning of spring, Colleen competed on a highly competitive club team in Fort Collins that boasts several Division I signees. “She’s the whole package,” Steamboat coach Wendy Hall said. “She’s got the size, she’s gifted with athleticism and

happens to be left-handed. ... But there are a lot of talented kids. The other variable, and the thing that’s most important, is her character and work ethic are off the charts. They’re second to none. That’s what makes her a special player.” Colleen now will focus on her senior season and said she’d like to contend for a league title and a coveted spot in the state tournament. And with her college decision out of the way, Colleen said to expect a more happy and funloving person on the court. “It’s more just for fun and the love of game,” she said. “I mean, I’ll still be in the weight room every day and working hard, but now I can just go out and enjoy it and have fun.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

Steamboat team plays Aspen on Saturday Rugby continued from 1C spectators would agree. As players not in the game huddled in sweatshirts and rain coats underneath the park’s gazebo, one home player even looked to a sip from a flask for some added warmth. Clark, understandably, wasn’t exactly thrilled about the conditions or how it affected his undersized team. “Your hands are freezing cold, and the ball is bouncing off everybody,” he said. “The game gets slowed down, and there’s going to be lots of knock-ons. So, you have lots of scrummages and lots of line outs. That goes against what we want to do.” Regardless, the Goose controlled much of the game, and took an early lead off a try

from Brian Jones. But a failed conversion kick left the score at 5-0. Steamboat answered quickly with a pair of penalty kicks to take a 6-5 advantage. Then a mistake by the Steamboat defense allowed the Goose’s John Waddick to take in an easy try. Breck failed for the second time in the match to complete the conversion, and the score was 10-6. Steamboat’s Roudy Manic then gave the visitors the lead with a powerful try amidst a pile up at the Goose’s end line, and Steamboat took a onepoint lead at the half. “We had a lot of problems in the set piece, but the guys came back well in the second half,” Clark said about his team. The Goose and Steamboat traded tries early in the half,

with Breck’s Drew White and Steamboat’s Charlie Modle taking it in for their respective teams. But the home team once again missed its conversion, and Steamboat had an 18-15 lead. Then, after the Goose tied the game on a penalty kick, the two rivals settled for a draw, which neither coach was overly pleased with. “The times they scored, we just had some silly errors,” Hurley said. “Credit to Breckenridge. They’ve got a great squad, an awesome coach and a lot of young, hard players. ... I’m glad to see them back as a force in mountain rugby again.” Steamboat next plays on Saturday at home against Aspen.

Rodeo starts big

riday night’s seasonopener was the rodeo that wouldn’t end. The Steamboat Springs Pro Rodeo series came galloping back into town this weekend, and it looked as strong as ever. The competitors in Friday’s events were experienced and plentiful. Many of the seasonlong champions crowned last August returned to Steamboat for another crack at the title. Events repeatedly kept fans on the edge of their seats with the last rider walking away with the best score on two different occasions. And the fans knew it. Rodeo announcer John Shipley often goes out of his way to explain the general rules of rodeo to the crowd, outlining the dos and don’ts and pointing out the basic rules and tools. That’s a great service at a rodeo that’s often filled with first-timers and young children. Fans often didn’t wait for his narration Friday, however. The drama was evident. The crowd was well shy of a sell-out, but the metal grandstands were full, and the concrete stands had a healthy contingent, as well. Although organizers admitted sales of the $35 season pass weren’t overwhelming, locals were picking them up as they filed into the stadium. The most promising aspect of Friday’s action, though, wasn’t in the stands. It was in the massive number of competitors who didn’t even get a chance to ride in the audience-attended portion of the rodeo. There were so many entries in the barrel racing, steer wrestling and roping events that nearly 100 couldn’t be fit into the rodeo’s preferred twohour window. Competition on Friday went deep into the night, surely frustrating and taxing the rodeo’s staff, but serving to build fat jackpots and represent a strong day for the rodeo. Friday night’s performance wasn’t without its problems. As tough as the riders were, the bulls in the bull-riding competition were even better. The beasts spun their riders around. A few were slammed into the chute, a few launched head over heels and all dismounted in short order. Not a single rider lasted the necessary eight seconds. The season pass price helps keep the rodeo’s ticket prices reasonable, but the concession prices still are ridiculous. It’s a little hard to fathom that you can’t land a hot dog and a drink for less than $10. The rodeo committee took a gamble this summer that keeping a 10-week, 20performance schedule intact would pay off, even in the face of a harsh economy. It’s not realistic to say that Friday night’s rodeo was evidence that all will be well throughout the summer. There always are more competitors early in the year, so it’s about as fair to point to Friday’s large group of competitors as proof Steamboat will be flush with riders all season as it is to point to a July 4 rodeo and say the event always will sell out. But as the event heads into a summer of uncertainty, Friday’s rodeo was fantastic, fun and very welcome.

Jack Vanderbeek hops over a rock with his mountain bike Tuesday on the Spring Creek trail in Steamboat Springs. Vanderbeek joined the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club’s newest mountain biking program, the Gravity Team. He said the trails can be tough but that he likes the challenges a lot more than the cross-country program he rode with in the past.

Gravitational pull

SSWSC offers daredevils a summer outlet T hey just couldn’t resist. Spring Creek Trail above Steamboat Springs is tame by the standards of the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club Gravity Team, STORY BY but as the JOEL half-dozen riders REICHENBERGER team assaulted the mild pitch and smooth dirt and gravel course Tuesday, they made the most of it. Every rock became a hurdle to be jumped, every small rise a ramp to be ridden and every gentle turn a line to be aggressively and relentlessly cut. “You get scared your first few times,” 13-year-old Jim Vanderbeek explained. “But then you get used to it.” He donned a full coverage helmet and all the appropriate safety equipment Tuesday, and he flew down the trail. It’s a different kind of mentality, a different way to ride a bike and one that has found a home under the umbrella of the Winter Sports Club’s summer mountain biking program for the first time this summer.

SUNDAY FOCUS

Prager-powered The Gravity Team didn’t become Steamboat’s fastest gang on two wheels without a little help. Cory Prager, the team’s coach, provided a whole lot of that assistance. Prager, a 24-year-old bike tech at Ski Haus, moved to Steamboat Springs six years ago from Florida. “Our team is focused on the racing disciplines of gravity,” he said. “We’re doing mountain cross and downhill racing. Basically, you can go as fast as you can from point A to point B, down the hill.”

Prager said his interest in downhill mountain biking was piqued by a trip to Whistler in British Columbia. He’s been an avid downhill rider since. He started with the Winter Sports Club as a freestyle coach, then worked with the biking program last year, helping with the cross-country mountain bike team. He said the biking program was great for helping athletes develop, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that there was an audience of children being left unaddressed. “Cory was super in the downhill event. He and I got to talking about how we could incorporate some of that into the program,” Winter Sports Club biking director Ben Clark said. “Cory spearheaded it. I just helped him out in whatever way I could to try and make it a successful venture.” So far, that’s been a worthy effort. The program was a natural choice for many young Steamboat riders and already has 22 athletes in its various competitive stages. “I coached most of the kids during the winter in freestyle skiing,” Prager said. “It’s a great transition between the two sports. These kids are such great athletes; they were able to pick up the downhill bike skills quickly.”

Safety first In addition to the downhill and mountain cross events, the Gravity Team’s riders also are training up for a dual slalom race. The crew hopes to travel for at least one competition this summer on the Mountain States Cup tour. Still, Prager said racing is only a part of the goals he has established within the team. First, the club is focused on teaching its athletes to ride such an aggressive style

as safely as possible. While Prager rode with the team down Spring Creek on Tuesday, another coach went to the bottom of the trail to keep an eye out for any hikers or uphill bikers unaware of the avalanche that would soon be coming down. “The program is really good for the town, too,” Clark said. “Cory preaches how to share the trail and ride safely. That’s a big concern — here and everywhere — that people who ride downhill will trash the trail and not ride with respect. We’re trying to dispel that notion.” The club also hopes to add yet another voice to the mountain biking choir in Steamboat Springs. Athletes loaded up Saturday to travel to Sol Vista to train on downhillexclusive trails. Prager said he hopes the awareness his program raises eventually will lead to more trails and,

in particular, a few downhillspecific trails.

No fear Until the program grows and a few directional trails are built into the Steamboat-area trail system, the crew will continue to train on the existing terrain. So far, that’s been plenty to keep Vanderbeek and his 11year-old brother, Jack, entertained. “It’s a lot more technical,” said Jim, who spent three previous years biking with the Winter Sports Club’s crosscountry program. Before the Gravity Team, he said he tackled some of the steep trails on Mount Werner with a friend. Since, he said

he’s learned the right way to fly down a slope. “I’ve gotten a lot better,” he said. “I’ve learned to keep looking up and to absorb more with my elbows and knees.” Many of the more difficult trails wind through tight boulder fields and twisty, narrow tracks lined with trees. That hasn’t intimidated Jack. “It’s definitely (scary) sometimes,” Jack said. “It’s hard when you slip and think, ‘Oh, I’m going to fall!’ But when you recover, it just feels like, ‘Whew.’ “It’s great. I have more fun in downhill.” — To reach Joel Reichenberger, call 871-4253 or e-mail jreichenberger@steamboatpilot.com PAGE DESIGNED BY STEVEN RECKINGER

It’s the great American habit. We love our cars. And our goal is to put the idea in people’s head that biking is another option.” That doesn’t mean that riders have to start riding to work

every day, but a gradual transition may help them realize the benefits of the ride, he said. They may feel that “it was really different riding to work, and they felt good when they got there, and they felt a new level of energy,” Craigen said.

Exhibit follows schools throughout the decades

t its most sprawling, Routt County was home to 96 school districts — most of them one-room, one-teacher affairs that needed a minimum of 10 students to operate, and sometimes covered only a couple of ranch families. The system was so broad, it would be impossible to recount STORY BY the stories MARGARET HAIR from all of its parts, said Katie Peck, curator for the Tread of Pioneers Museum. In an exhibit that opened to the public Friday, Peck said she tried to capture the spirit of education throughout Routt County’s history, rather than give every detail. “It’s really hard to try and cover every schoolhouse and every district and every story, so this is really a broad generalization of school in Routt County,” Peck said. The exhibit, titled “When the School Bell Rings: A Story of Education in Routt County,” will be on display during regular museum hours through May 2010. A Steamboat Springs High School ski band uniform from 1956, a high school pennant from 1912, a desk from the Steamboat Springs school with artifacts inside, an example of a day’s schedule from the 1940s and a teacher’s contract for the Mount Harris School from 1927 are among the historical items on display.

will allow the group to offer programming on-site, something that wasn’t possible at the organization’s home in the U.S. Forest Service building on Weiss Drive, said Executive Director Sonja Macys.

“We have great recreational areas here, so it’s never been a problem. But we’ve never had a place where children could connect,” she said. The old ranch house, built in 1917, will serve as the classroom and program area.

At an opening reception for museum members Thursday night, several said walking into the exhibit was like walking back into the classroom, said Candice Lombardo, executive director of Tread of Pioneers. The school perspective is at the heart of Routt County’s history and culture, organizers said. To help share that perspective, the exhibit includes a DVD display about skiing in the school curriculum and a couple of interactive elements for children and adults. Tread of Pioneers started open house programs at the Mesa Schoolhouse — which is owned by the city of Steamboat Springs and Historic Routt County, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007 — last summer and will host a program from 2 to 4 p.m. Thursday at the structure.

There will be two similar programs in July and two in

said the Environmental Learning Center is a “place for placebased education to connect children and adults to the place where they live.” “Having the kids experience experimental learning, it’s hands-on, it’s right in front of them,” she said. “It’s unforgettable. Those experiences last a lifetime.” Visocky said having a dedicated site — instead of leading daily field trips by bus from the Forest Service building to locations such as downtown, Emerald Mountain or Fish Creek Falls — would make her job easier. “One of the unique things about this project,” Macys said, “there’s never been an environmental learning center in Steamboat. There’s been a lot of community interest and support for this concept.”

A long time coming Yampatika has long sought a location it could call its own, Macys said. Legacy Ranch is a 132-acre parcel on the former Yampa Valley Land and Cattle Co. site that was sold off as part of a nearly 4,000-acre transaction in 1999, said Linda Dorsey, executive director of Yampa Valley Land Trust, a nonprofit land conservation organization in Northwest Colorado.

From the Friday, June 22, 1934, edition of The Steamboat Pilot The Steamboat Pilot does not fear the Big Bad Wolf. About to enter its 50th consecutive year of publication, it can look back at times when the Wolf was more threatening, but he was always vanquished — the Pilot went forward to greater things. It is today the oldest business institution in Northwest Colorado. As it goes into the last lap of a half-century in existence, confident and on a solid foundation, it is going to throw a three-fold challenge at the aforementioned Wolf: We have signed a contract for and have on the way one of the most modern newspaper presses and folders. The press is a Mehlie, noted throughout the publication world for its performance and production. It will be installed in the middle of July. We can find no fault with the quality of the production of our present press. It has served to win this office first prize and two

merit awards in the past three years in competitions with all the weekly newspapers of the state for typographical appearance. But it prints only two pages at a time, requiring four press operations a week — very wasteful and expensive, for in addition the sheets have to be assembled and fed into a folder. The new press, weighing nearly 13 tons, prints four pages at a time and in the last operation feeds automatically into a folder, which brings out the completed Pilot ready for mailing. Better service, quicker time and more economical operation: That is in line with the modern trend. The big modern press and folder are only part of the new equipment being installed. One is a “casting box” whereby we are able to produce half-page casts from mats. The expense of this equipment and its installation runs

Caleb Ray Dilldine, son of Chelsea and Curtis Dilldine, of Craig, was born at 8:40 a.m. June 6, 2009. He weighed 7 pounds, 10 ounces and was 20 inches long. His grandparents are Rob and Jeanne Dilldine, of Craig; Katie Davis, of Craig; and Mike Davis, of Telluride. He has a sister, Valarie.

coverage of Routt County: We want to pay for it. Under the present management, there have been five subscription contests, all satisfactory. Foreign salesman have put them over, collected their commission and undoubtedly earned it. But this one is different. It is conducted by our own people, as Paul Zerbe, of the Pilot force, will be in charge. He will be more interested in playing the game square and making friends for the Pilot than in seeing how much money he can get. These are the things the Pilot is going to put across to show its confidence in returning prosperity, in The New Deal, and to celebrate that the Pilot is 50 years young. The Pilot’s prize collection included a choice of two cars, a trip worth $250 and varying levels of commission receipts. Contest rules required entrants to sell newspaper subscriptions, which were allotted a certain number of points depending on when they were sold. Sale of a 1-year subscription, valued at $2, could win a contestant as many as 3,000 points.

Visit participating businesses to collect Poker Ride cards Bike continued from 1D year. During the day Friday, riders can visit each of the five participating businesses — Ski Haus, Orange Peel Bicycle Service, Steamboat Ski and Bike Kare, Howelsen Place Discovery Center and Sunpie’s Bistro — to gather a playing card from each location. At 6 p.m., Ski Haus will host a barbecue and skidding competition. The rider with the best poker hand will win a prize, said Todd Givnish, of Ski Haus. Givnish said organizers chose to swap out a traditional cruiser rally in favor of the open-ended poker ride “to switch it up and go for the poker ride to give people more flexibility and a way to wind up Bike to Work Week.”

Impediments Craigen said it’s clear that Steamboat Springs is a “bikeobsessed town,” but there are challenges to getting commuters to use their bicycles every day — mostly the weather. Essam Welch, of Orange Peel, said he sees an increasing number of riders coming in to get their bikes ready for the daily grind. “It’s weatherproofing them with fenders, accessorizing with lights and racks and perhaps bags or baskets to carry belongings,” he said. Welch said he sees the increase in number of riders on the Yampa River Core Trail. He said he used to be able to recognize each rider on the trail, but now “it’s gotten to the point there are multiple riders every

trails … to mountain trails to busy roads or highways,” he said. — To reach Zach Fridell, call 871-4208 or e-mail zfridell@steamboatpilot.com

pretty high in dollars, but it’s our challenge to the so-called Big Bad Wolf. He’s largely a bluffer, and he rules only through fear. He retreats when challenged. The second challenge is a golden anniversary edition of the Pilot, which we will issue in July, printed on the new press, celebrating the beginning of the 50th year of publication. We will review the Pilot’s beginnings, the romantic story of the growth and development of Routt County and its towns. It will be illustrated with old-time pictures, and while it will give due reverence to the past, it will not forget the present and the future. It will consist of at least 24 pages and will be of 3,000 copies, covering not only the local field but being distributed throughout the country. It will be something you will want to read, send to your friends, for it will be the saga of Northwestern Colorado. And now for the third challenge, read the double-page spread in the center of this paper. We are going to give away more than $1,000 in prizes in a subscription contest, starting at once.
