Art fair veggie races a hit Children make bedazzled spuds at park; event continues today Blythe Terrell

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Kiddos turned taters into pieces of art and sent them down a ramp Saturday, pipe cleaners waving and googly eyes awhirl. Ten-year-old Sam Troller was among the participants in the “Veggie 500” race at Art in the Park. He jammed four wheels into the sides of his potato, jazzing it up with orange pipe clean-

ers looped back like wings and a yellow feather in front. He adjusted the wheels after the potato racer spun on its first ramp run. “I just wanted it to be small and fast,” Sam said about his strategy. “I wanted to make it look like a samurai.” He also gave it a personal touch. “I named it after me,” Sam said. Diane Davis, who owns the Steamboat Arts & Crafts

Gym, guided children into the KidSpot. There, they made potato cars, painted rocks and decorated tiaras. Suggested donations for each activity went to the Steamboat Springs Arts Council, which organizes the annual Art in the Park. It continues today, as does the annual Hot Air Balloon Rodeo. Davis said she came up with the vegetable race idea last year with Rachel Radetsky, the council’s events and facilities coordinator. They used corn and zuc-

chini last year and switched to potatoes this year. The feature seemed to be a hit. Children crowded the tent at West Lincoln Park. Nine-yearold Amber Elliott stuck two pipe cleaners of each color into her potato. She curled the tops of each of the 20 bright, pliable sticks. Her favorite part was “probMATT STENSLAND/STAFF ably making all the curlies,” Steamboat Springs teens, from left, Jackson Perry, Ben Wharton, Nick Sear and Karel Klos, of Florida, let go of their potato cars after Arts & Crafts Gym owner Diane Amber said.

Davis waved the starting flag. “My strategy was that I made the little kids make it for me,” Nick said.

that homeowners in the county have been using rainwater, she said, because enforcement of the rainwater usage ban has not been a priority for Light’s office. “It was illegal, and I use that term loosely,” she said. Staffing and time constraints have meant that the office has not been out searching for the units, unlike more water-strapped areas such as Durango, where engineers have to mind water usage more carefully.

Nomination petitions can’t be picked up for three more weeks, but make no mistake, the race for four open Steamboat Springs City Council seats has begun. Incumbents Cari Hermacinski and Walter Magill, as well as Steamboat businessman Kenny Reisman, said they will vie Hermacinski for seats this fall. Hermacinski and Magill joined the council in 2007 after a contentious election — centered on growth issues — saw four incumbents defeated and five new faces join Magill the City Council. Hermacinski holds the council’s two-year at-large seat. Magill holds a four-year District 3 seat. His win in 2007 allowed him to finish a term left open when Kevin Kaminski moved out of the southern Steamboat Springs district in September 2006. “I think the city’s moving in the right direction, and I’d like to keep working on the city’s budget in tough economic times,” said Magill, the owner of Four Points Surveying & Engineering. Magill said he wants to continue to bring a business perspective to the council and represent working-class residents. Hermacinski, an attorney and president of Telecomm Acquisition Group, previously said she would not run for City Council again. She said she changed her

Rain bill has little local impact Collection legal for homes not connected to municipal water Zach Fridell

Although new legislation made collecting rainwater legal at some Colorado homes and ranches as of July 1, local water experts say the Yampa Valley’s plentiful water supply gives the bill little local use. The valley has seen plenty of rainfall this year from storms like this one, shown building over Mount Werner in July 2008.

Race to fill City Council seats begins

Yampa Valley rain, in no short supply this year, can be harvested legally for personal use since July 1, after the Colorado Senate approved a measure to legalize collection units in rural areas. The bill allows homes with certain well permits — not connected to a municipal water supply — to use rainwater in homes, to irrigate as much as 1 acre of garden and to water some

Erin Light, Division 6 water engineer for the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, said that in her eight years of working with water in the Yampa Valley, she remembers only two people ever asking about rainwater collection, and she has not seen any collection units in operation.

When Michael Graves saw an opportunity to exchange the 106-degree heat of Dallas for Steamboat Springs’ mild climate, he jumped at it. But before he took the helm of Steamboat Powersports in Riverside Place, he partnered with the president of the Texas Motorcycle Dealers Association. Graves and Alan P. Lamb are the new owners of the dealership previously known as Planet Powersports. They acquired the business and the real estate from former owner Randall Reed. Graves has an extensive business background including retail design and real estate development. But when it comes to motorcycles and snowmobiles, he decided he needed to rely on the expertise of a longtime associate who just happens to own three stores, including Dallas Honda. “I would never have entered the business without Al’s involvement and his 32 years of experience,” Graves said. Graves, a longtime business associate of Reed, said Reed needed to focus his energies on his six Ford dealerships in Texas. Ironically, Graves originally agreed only to help Reed find the best location for his new motorcycle, ATV, side-byside and snowmobile business. Graves, who helped Reed develop a futuristic design theme for his auto dealerships, had to be talked into taking a minority stake in Planet Powersports in Steamboat, along with Planet Powersports in Craig (now Craig Powersports). “At first, I told Randall, ‘I’m not going to do it.’ But I finally agreed to take 10 percent of the deal,” Graves said.

Sotomayor vs. the tea parties

OUR VIEW

Postal Service lacking service

John Andrews

teamboat Springs city officials should be applauded for their attempts to dissuade the U.S. Postal Service from consolidating both of its branches to the downtown location, but we fear those efforts simply won’t be enough when dealing with an autonomous federal agency. To that end, we AT ISSUE encourage local officials and Steamboat residents to write and call their congressional representatives in Springs post office changes Washington, D.C., to see that the community’s best interests are served. OUR VIEW The bottom line is that movPostal Service ing the 2,584 P.O. boxes at the owes our Sundance at Fish Creek satellite branch to the main Postal community Service location at Third Street an honest explanation of and Lincoln Avenue in downtown Steamboat poses serious traffic its intentions. and safety concerns at an already troublesome intersection. The Postal Service has signed a contract with developer Brian Olson for a new consolidated postal facility at Olson’s proposed City South development at U.S. Highway 40 and Pine Grove Road. As part of that deal, Olson and his partners would acquire the Third and Lincoln parcel owned by the Postal Service in exchange for the new facility. Until that building is completed — and recent exchanges between Olson and the Postal Service have left some question as to the future of the deal — the post office has said it would move the Sundance boxes to the downtown branch. Last week, Postal Service spokesman Al DeSarro said consolidating Sundance into the main post office always has been a part of the federal plan and now appears even wiser given the agency’s budget constraints. “It’s a prudent business decision,” DeSarro said. “This was agreed to and discussed with the city. If we’ve got space in the main post office, especially now, with the economy the way it is, it makes sense to use the space we have for that smaller operation.” That’s certainly a different message from what Postal Service officials conveyed 16 months ago, when they told the city it would be difficult to remodel the downtown location for consolidation purposes, in part because of the building’s original design for a bank. The Postal Service now says the Sundance move became feasible when Coldwell Banker Silver Oak’s real estate firm left the space it had occupied at Third and Lincoln for 20 years. The truth, Silver Oak owner Mix Beauvais said, is that the Postal Service sent him a letter in mid-winter informing the realty company that it would have to vacate the premises by Aug. 1. Beauvais said he tried to negotiate to use some of the vacant upstairs space, but all attempts were rebuffed. “There was no way of working with them,” Beauvais said this week. Bob Larson, the manager of Sundance at Fish Creek shopping center, conveyed a similar message to City Council last week. Larson said he’s been trying to negotiate a new lease with the Postal Service for more than a year to no avail. There’s an obvious business incentive for the shopping center to retain a traffic-driving tenant such as the Postal Service, but there’s even more incentive for the community to keep the satellite branch open until the new facility is completed. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear as if the Postal Service shares any of that community concern. If money is the No. 1 factor, why would the Postal Service force out a rent-paying tenant in Coldwell Banker, turn away attempts by Coldwell Banker to rent the separate upstairs space and also spurn negotiations by a shopping center in need of a revenue-generating tenant such as a post office branch? The Postal Service’s federal standing gives the city little leverage. Nonetheless, city officials have sent letters to the Postal Service urging them to reconsider their plans, and they’ve also scheduled a July 29 meeting with Postal Service officials. We urge Steamboat residents and officials to contact Sens. Mark Udall and Michael Bennet, as well as U.S. Rep. John Salazar. Their contact information can be found at the bottom of this page. The Postal Service says it’s willing to work with the community to alleviate concerns about traffic and safety at one of Steamboat’s busiest intersections. We’ll believe it when we see it.

SPECIAL TO THE PILOT & TODAY

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Clinic not the answer There are two sides to every coin. Unfortunately, Planned Parenthood is notorious for showing only the one side of the coin and pretending that the other doesn’t exist. In Aimee Quadri’s letter to the editor in the July 8 issue of the Steamboat Today, we see just that. Frankly, I’m tired of the public being subjected to the unending stream of Planned Parenthood’s tempting promises of how it will save the masses through contraception and affordable reproductive health care. The fact is that Planned Parenthood is a front for abortion. The latest polls show that the majority of American citizens believe that abortion is murder. And the fact is that taxes from that majority are going to support this organization that feeds scared and hormonal pregnant women the lie that somehow abortion is a quick fix for their “problem.” The prevailing wisdom these days is to stop having children and all will be well. Because our government officially has bequeathed a hefty national debt to our children, perhaps we shouldn’t be eradicating our future generations before they get a chance to foot the bill for this financial crisis that Quadri cites as the reason to visit Planned Parenthood.

Why doesn’t Planned Parenthood tell their clients the facts? You never see the word “abortion” in their ads. It’s cleverly disguised under “and more” on their list of services. And there is no disclaimer in their ads about how abortion gravely affects the emotional state of every woman who has had one performed, how most every woman at some point in her life regrets choosing abortion (including Roe, of Roe v. Wade, who now is a pro-life spokesperson), or how statistically, married couples who use contraception have a much greater probability of ending in divorce than couples who practice natural family planning. Natural family planning has a 100 percent effectiveness rate if used properly. In this method, there is no need for women to add harmful hormones to their bodies through contraceptive pills, which list more horrifying side effects than one can count. Families can plan and coordinate their births through tracking the woman’s fertility signs. What woman couldn’t benefit from knowing more about how her body actually works? It was a real eye-opener for me. And why is it that so many women will buy hormone-free organic milks and chemical-free produce but then turn around and fill their bodies with contraceptive hormones that have far worse effects on their bodies and minds?

Crisis pregnancy centers across the country provide counseling for those who have chosen abortion, guidance on how to get maternity care, and how to apply for support from Medicare, Medicaid and S.C.H.I.P. Right here in Steamboat Springs, there is the Pregnancy Resource Center, which provides maternity and baby clothing, baby care supplies, counseling and ultrasounds for women considering abortion. All of these services are provided without the help of our tax dollars. I am in no way affiliated with the Pregnancy Resource Center, but I would like to see organizations like it succeed and grow through the much-needed support of the community. And, more than anything, I would like to see Planned Parenthood exposed for what it truly is.

COMMENTARY

Clean, sexy water Nicholas D. Kristof THE NEW YORK TIMES

People always ask: What can I do to make a difference? So many people in poor countries desperately need assistance. So many people in rich countries would like to help but fear their donations would line the pocket of a corrupt official or be lost in an aid bureaucracy. The result is a short circuit, leaving both sides unfulfilled. Kristof That’s where Scott Harrison comes in. Five years ago, Harrison was a nightclub promoter in Manhattan who spent his nights surrounded by friends in a blur of alcohol, cocaine and marijuana. He lived in a luxurious apartment and drove a BMW — but then on a vacation in South America, he underwent a spiritual crisis. “I realized I was the most selfish, sycophantic and miserable human being,” he recalled. “I was the worst person I knew.” Harrison, now 33, found an aid organization that would accept him as a volunteer photographer

— if he paid $500 a month to cover expenses. And so he did. The organization was Mercy Ships, a Christian aid group that performs surgeries in poor countries with volunteer doctors. “The first person I photographed was a 14-year-old boy named Alfred, choking on a 4pound benign tumor in his mouth, filling up his whole mouth,” Harrison recalled. “He was suffocating on his own face. I just went into the corner and sobbed.” A few weeks later, Harrison took Alfred — with the tumor now removed — back to his village in the West African country of Benin. “I saw everybody celebrating, because a few doctors had given up their vacation time,” he said. Mercy Ships transformed Harrison as much as it did Alfred. Harrison returned to New York two years later with a plan: He would form a charity to provide clean water to save lives in poor countries. But by then, he was broke and sleeping on a friend’s couch. Armed with nothing but a natural gift for promotion, and for wheedling donations from people,

Harrison started his group, called charity: water — and it has been stunningly successful. In three years, he says, his group has raised $10 million (most of that last year alone) from 50,000 individual donors, providing clean water to nearly 1 million people in Africa and Asia. The organization now has 11 full-time employees, almost twice as many unpaid interns, and more than half a million followers on Twitter (the United Nations has 3,000). New York City buses were plastered with free banners promoting his message, and Saks Fifth Avenue gave up its store windows to spread Harrison’s gospel about the need for clean water in Africa. American schools are signing up to raise money to build wells for schools in poor countries. “Scott is an important marketing machine, lifting one of the most critical issues of our time in a way that is sexy and incredibly compelling — that’s his gift,” said Jacqueline Novogratz, head of the Acumen Fund, which invests in poor countries to overcome poverty. Harrison doesn’t actually do See Kristof, page 5A

“It is a small state, and yet there are those who love it.” Sen. Daniel Webster, arguing the Dartmouth case before the Supreme Court, actually said “college,” not “state.” But my paraphrase is apropos for Coloradans in a summer when the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor has everyone talking about senators and justices. We do love this smallish state of ours, and jealousy for Colorado’s prerogatives of self-government is in order as we debate replacing David Souter. “Don’t tread on me,” the defiant flag of the founding era, has made a comeback at this year’s tea parties. Does Sotomayor get that? Not that I can tell, which means she’s wrong for the court. Of the three federal branches, claimed Alexander Hamilton in the Federalist, “the judiciary will always be the least dangerous to the Constitution,” as it has neither “the sword or the purse.” Decades of judicial imperialism have left that prediction as devalued as Hamilton’s $10 bill. More accurate was his rival Robert Yates, who wrote in the Anti-Federalist that history had never seen “a court of justice invested with such immense powers, and yet placed in a situation so little responsible.” He worried that the Supreme Court would “be able to extend the limits of the general government gradually” and at last “to melt down the states into one entire government for every purpose.” Did Yates exaggerate? Not much. From FDR’s time to President Barack Obama’s, regardless of which party appointed them, the robed priesthood of the bench has overseen more and more of American governance gravitating from state capitals to Washington and from the elected branches to themselves. Is there blame to go around? Yes. Every part of our body politic has helped weaken liberty. We’re now getting the government we deserve. Does history hinge on Sotomayor’s confirmation or defeat? No. “Wise Latina woman” or not, she’s just one judge. We the people must initiate the needed constitutional rebirth. It’s dismaying, though, how oblivious most politicians are to the high court’s part in turning free citizens into docile “sheeple” (Pravda’s mocking word). Seeking some comprehension of the crisis, I asked Colorado’s senators, Michael Bennet and Mark Udall, what our smaller state with its commitment to participative self-government should constitutionally expect from the Supreme Court. The answers came back bland as sand. “Coloradans want judges who are fair, impartial and faithfully apply the law,” said Bennet, adding that he hopes for sensitivity to “our special concerns in the West” about water rights, public lands and the role of government.

however, to their contribution to economic suicide and ultimate bankruptcy of America. Health insurance companies are far from perfect, but a government-run health care “company” is a pernicious option. The political left believes companies should be run without profits and that shareholders have no value. They regularly exaggerate the impact of profits on increasing health care costs. They even argue that there is too much bureaucracy in public corporations. The free-market system that features competitive marketplaces and the profit motive is largely responsible for America’s very high standard of living. Corporations are not just

managers and boards of directors but largely are made up of employees earning hourly wages or salaries. Corporations hate bureaucracy while the federal government is strangled by it. The left denigrates private health insurance companies by dragging out stories of members whose claims are denied. To be sure, some of these horror stories are true. But just as true and far greater in magnitude are the billions of dollars of fraud and abuse now rampant in Medicare and Medicaid. Government acquiesce to fraud along with political pressure to pay all claims has hopelessly bankrupt the public health system. Right now, many states have no money to pay Medicaid claims. California is the poster

child with their credit rating now hovering just two grades above junk. The only way the feds can pay Medicare and prescription drug claims is to borrow money from China with one hand and print increasingly lower-valued money with the other. Private insurance companies fight fraud and abuse, while government tolerates the waste. At the end of the day, adding 47 million people to the public health dole will exacerbate the bleeding of money from federal coffers rapidly hastening financial failure. Equal universal health care is not an entitlement. Public health care was not guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution. Proponents of universal public health care — a concept not even envisioned until the middle of the past cen-

tury — largely are motivated by populist egalitarianism or their own personal gain and not by a reasoned assessment of what the public can afford. America needs political leadership with the courage and intelligence to put a stop to waste and fraud in the current public health care system, to stand up to the trial lawyer lobby with mandated dollar caps on malpractice claims, and to make partners in cost containment of public and private users of health care by taxing benefits. Sadly, our current federal administration and Congress are racing headlong in the other direction.

Court needs more justices with real-world experiences Andrews continued from 4A Udall told me the qualities he’s looking for include “moderation, an ability to listen and bridge ideological divides, and above all, a deep understanding of the constitution.” Unlike Bennet, who came out for Sotomayor after a brief meeting, Udall is uncommitted, though leaning favorably. The danger of senators rubber-stamping a president’s judicial nominees, predicted by

Oliver Ellsworth at the 1787 convention, seems borne out by these two in relation to fellow Democrat Obama. They need remediation from CU law professor Robert Nagel, author of “Unrestrained: Judicial Excess and the Mind of the American Lawyer.” Nagel says legal groupthink has made the whole country politically timid and “slavish in believing we need to be saved by the Supreme Court” from the messiness of democracy.

Former Colorado Supreme Court Justice Jean Dubofsky, another Democrat and the first woman on that bench, supports Sotomayor but said she, too, wishes for a high court with more “out-in-the-world experience” and fewer Ivy-trained Easterners with appellate résumés such as this nominee. Very true, and by that yardstick I’d prefer Dubofsky herself, or Bennet, or Udall, or Bill Ritter, or even Pat Schroeder (heaven help us), to Judge Sonia.

In effect, he’s a fundraiser and marketer — but that’s often the most difficult piece of the aid puzzle. So what’s his secret? Harrison’s success seems to depend on three precepts: First, ensure that every penny from new donors will go to projects in the field. He accomplishes this by cajoling his 500 most

committed donors to cover all administrative costs. Second, show donors the specific impact of their contributions. Harrison grants naming rights to wells. He posts photos and GPS coordinates so donors can look up their wells on Google Earth. And in September, Harrison is going to roll out a new Web site that will match even the smallest donation to a particular project that can be tracked online.

Bill Hill, beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend, passed away peacefully June 25, 2009, in Grand Junction, at his retirement home since 1998. He was 75. Bill was born April 20, 1934, in Hebron, Neb., to William (Bud) and Ruth (Willmore) Hill. In 1952, he graduated from Hebron High School where he participated in football, tennis, drama and other school activities. He graduated from Nebraska Wesleyan University in 1956 and did graduate work at the universities of Nebraska and Oklahoma. In college, he was a conference tennis champion, president of his fraternity, Phi Kappa Tau, and was named to “Who’s Who in American Colleges.” He married Barbara Clark on March 16, 1956, in Lincoln, Neb. After graduation, he was named executive director of the Alumni Association at Nebraska Wesleyan and began 25 years of

development work in various colleges and medical centers, including the University of Oklahoma; Snyder Memorial Research Hill Foundation in Winfield, Kan.; Wesley Medical Center in Wichita, Kan.; Bemidji State University in Minnesota and Swedish Medical Center in Denver. In 1978, the family moved to Steamboat Springs where he became executive director of the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association, started the Yampa Valley Foundation and directed the founding of Colorado Mountain College’s Alpine campus in 1981. He then helped establish the ski business programs at that campus; started Leadership Steamboat, a training program for young community leaders; and was active in the United Methodist

Church and Rotary Club where he served as president in 199293. He twice was honored as Grand Marshall of the Fourth of July Parade in Steamboat. He taught business courses at Colorado Mountain College for 16 years, was Teacher of the Year in 1987 and continued to serve as voluntary executive director of the Yampa Valley Foundation until he retired in 1997. In Grand Junction, he founded MACHO, Men Against Cancer Helping Others, a cancer support group for men at St. Mary’s Hosital; served on the convention and tourism and Habitat for Humanity boards; and was active in the Small Business Development Center, Meals on Wheels and the Presbyterian Church. He was an excellent tennis player, an avid golfer and enjoyed traveling. He built Cow Chip Country Club, a pasture golf course at his summer cabin at Steamboat Lake, and

Technician causes major scare Officials to determine whether hepatitis C cases are linked to worker P. Solomon Banda THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

Kimberly Spencer’s 9-yearold son went to Audubon Ambulatory Surgery Center last month for what was supposed to be a routine surgery. The rambunctious child stuck a BB in his ear and doctors had to operate to remove it. What happened next shocked the family. They were notified that their son is one of 6,000 patients who may have been exposed to hepatitis C by a painkilleraddicted technician who had the disease and allegedly passed on dirty syringes to patients. The technician has been jailed, thousands of rattled patients have been getting hepatitis C tests, and two medical facilities where she worked have been bombarded with questions about how they let it happen. Ten cases of hepatitis C have been linked to Rose Medical Center where Kristen Diane Parker worked until April. “It was originally a humorous child story we could write about in his baby book, and now it’s just

gone south a little bit,” Spencer said Friday as she awaited results of her son’s blood test. “We’re very optimistic; we think it’s going to be just fine. It’s still unnerving.” During a police interview videotaped June 30 that was played in court Thursday, the 26-year-old Parker told a detective that she kept dirty salinefilled syringes in her pocket and watched for opportunities when doctors and nurses left the room. She then allegedly stole syringes filled with Fentanyl from operating carts and replaced them with the used syringes. “I didn’t want to make it obvious to everyone that I was using,” the 26-year-old Parker told the detective in the interview, saying she stole between 15 and 20 syringes of Fentanyl. “I knew my limit.” Health officials are conducting tests to determine whether the 10 hepatitis C cases are definitively linked to Parker. Many people with hepatitis C don’t know they are infected because they don’t develop symptoms until years later. Parker said she used between 100 to 250 micrograms of the

drug each time, roughly enough medication for a 500-pound person, according to medical malpractice attorney Dr. Eric Steiner, a former cardiac anesthesiologist. Thousands of former surgery patients have contacted Denver’s Rose Medical Center and Audubon Ambulatory Surgery Center in Colorado Springs for free blood tests being offered by both facilities. More than 1,900 former Rose patients have been tested, said hospital spokeswoman Leslie Teegarden. An Audubon spokesman did not return messages Friday, but state health officials said those at that facility, including Spencer’s son, will be tested again in about seven weeks because it takes that long for the disease to show up in the bloodstream. Hepatitis C is a treatable but incurable blood-borne disease that can cause serious liver problems. Parker’s case could end up being the first in Colorado where a patient got an infection from a health care worker who was tampering with drugs, said Dr. Ned Calonge, chief medical officer for the state health department.

Steve Segin, of the Rocky Mountain Coordination Center, says officials hope to have the fire contained by today. Meanwhile, fire officials still were managing but not actively fighting a lightning-caused fire on 937 acres northwest of Grand Junction. No structures were threatened.

Grand Junction airport sets monthly traffic record GRAND JUNCTION

Passenger traffic at Grand Junction Regional Airport is on pace to set a record for the year. Airport manager Rex Tippetts says the 22,125 people who passed through the airport in June represent the best month ever for traffic at the airport. The number was up more than 14 percent from the 19,343 people who flew in and out of the airport in June 2008, based on data released Thursday. For the first six months of the year, passenger traffic totaled 110,021. That is up from 95,887 in the same period last year. A record 211,917 passengers traveled through the airport in 2008.

Oxygen bars — where patrons sniff oxygen recreationally through a plastic hose inserted in their nostrils — originated in Japan and were introduced in the United States in the late 1990s. According to a 2002 Food and Drug Administration article, “Oxygen fans tout the benefits of oxygen as reducing stress, increasing energy and alertness, lessening the effects of hangovers, headaches and sinus problems and generally relaxing the body.” The American Lung Association says inhaling oxygen at oxygen bars probably does not have any positive physiological effect but also has not shown to be dangerous for people with normal health. Inhaling concentrated oxygen can be dangerous for people with certain medical conditions, according to the FDA, which also is concerned about scented oxygen. Singleton said oxygen bars are great for people who are tired, jet-lagged or bothered by the altitude. “I know they’re really popular in Breckenridge and Aspen,” Mainstreet Steamboat Springs manager Tracy Barnett said. “They’re supposed to make your brain clearer. I’m going to try it first thing.” Singleton said Steamboat

Barnett said Barnes and Singleton’s businesses are just two of many that recently have sprung up or expanded downtown. “That whole Old Town Square is full, and it had a bunch of holes in it before. The more

spaces we have filled, the better downtown looks,” said Barnett, who noted there still is about 30,000 square feet of vacant commercial space downtown. “We don’t feel depressed downtown, but we still have quite a bit to go.” The mother-son duo hopes to open Steamboat Lake Lodge at Hahn’s Peak in August as a bed and breakfast and contemporary bar, as well as a

has saved many jobs. Obama criticized Republicans for opposing the stimulus but offering few alternatives to the worst recession since the Great Depression. And he rejected talk of a second stimulus, an idea that has been discussed by Democrats and even famed investor Warren Buffett. “We must let it work the way it’s supposed to, with the understanding that in any recession, unemployment tends to recover more slowly than other measures of economic activity,” Obama, who is visiting Ghana

on Saturday, said in his recorded message. The stimulus included $288 billion in tax cuts, dramatic increases in Medicaid spending, about $48 billion in highway and bridge construction and billions more to boost energy efficiency, shore up state budgets and improve schools. The plan “was not designed to work in four months,” Obama said. “It was designed to work over two years.” Since Obama signed the stimulus into law, the economy has lost more than 2 million jobs, and the unemployment rate has climbed higher than the White House pre-

dicted it would have ever reached without the stimulus. Some companies say stimulus money helped avoid layoffs. Independent government auditors found that stimulus aid to states helped keep teachers off unemployment lines. But overall job numbers continue to suffer. Republicans have seized on this opportunity to criticize the president, but they have struggled to find their collective voice. At a news conference Friday, Republican lawmakers criticized the White House for spending so much, while simultaneously saying the administration wasn’t spending it fast enough.

With the Obama administration now pushing for a costly overhaul of the nation’s health care system, Republicans are casting Democrats as liberals on a shopping spree. In the GOP’s weekly address Saturday, Virginia Rep. Eric Cantor, the House Republican whip, accused the Democratic-controlled Congress of reckless spending and careless borrowing. Although the Republican stimulus proposal this January had its own deficit-pushing price tag of $478 billion, Cantor and Republicans are trying to make their case against Obama as one of fiscal restraint.

Liquidation sales make it easier to locate a new machine at reduced prices for customers on a budget. “If a guy really wants a new sled, we can make it happen,” Graves said. Graves faces critical decisions during two weeks at the end of July and beginning of August,

when he must decide how many 2010 snow machines to order. But his confidence is buoyed by the news that Craig Powersports had its best month in June, selling 66 units. He also expects leasing agent Jim C. Hansen to be able to announce as soon as this week that he’s inked a lease with a

national retailer, already operating elsewhere in Steamboat, to move to Riverside Place. When that happens, Graves predicted, two or three more businesses likely could sign leases in his commercial center. — To reach Tom Ross, call 871-4205 or e-mail tross@steamboatpilot.com

Collection more popular in areas where rivers are over-appropriated

��

Rainwater continued from 1A Light said there are thousands of well permits across the county. Rainwater collection units can be added to those wells for free after the homeowner submits a notice and fills out a form. New well permits are $100, while permits to install only rainwater collection systems cost $60. The rainwater collected is limited by the type of well permit the homeowner holds. Well permits issued after 2006 on the Upper Yampa basin, for example, have restrictions on how the water can be

rainwater collection system,” he said. “We haven’t had anybody I’ve known of propose to construct and use one.” Sharp said the areas that likely will benefit the most from the new legislation are water-poor regions, either from drought or because water is hard to find in elevated areas. “I would suspect it would be first promoted in the areas where the streams and rivers are highly over-appropriated,” he said, including northern Summit County and in some areas of the Front Range. “I don’t think it’s particularly

useful or necessary to rural residences in Routt County because of the general availability of exempt well permits. It’s more reliable to have a water well, or you can pump the water, than worrying if there’s enough rain coming from the sky,” he said.

Mixed results Rainwater collection units have had mixed results in the past, said Shirley Andrew, part owner of Raindrop Water, a water tank installation and excavation business based on Routt County Road 35. Andrew said there was a fam-

ily that installed a collection unit to catch water from their iodized roof, but the experiment was short-lived. “Their roof was blue, and all that dye went into their tanks. It turned all their clothes that color, and it was a family with blonde women, and it turned their hair blue,” she said. Andrew’s company was called out to clean the tanks, and the family gave up on the experiment. Andrew said the family since has moved out of the valley, and she hasn’t heard about any rainwater collection since then.

used and limits on the speed of water pumped out. The law, Senate Bill 80, was sponsored by Senator Al White, R-Hayden, among others, and was passed at the end of March. The bill prohibits adding rainwater collection systems to homes that have municipal water supply available.

mind after consulting with her family and “after the horror of the last campaign wore off.” “I think it’s a great way to serve the community, and it’s been a good challenge for me,” said Hermacinski, who said her priorities are fiscal responsibility and transparent government. The two other seats up for reelection are those of City Council President Loui Antonucci, representing the mountain area in District 2; and Steve Ivancie, representing West Steamboat and much of Old Town in District 1. Reisman said he will run for Antonucci’s seat. “Times are tough, and decisions are tough,” said Reisman, owner of a real estate investment company and property management firm. “I suppose my goals

and priorities are to try to keep the city moving forward as best we can in terms of a place that everybody feels is a community.” Reisman said he has a master’s degree in political science and is passionate about the community. He said he generally supports the current City Council. He said he doesn’t know how closely he and Antonucci align politically but that he would strive to emulate the City Council president’s sincerity and care for the community. City Clerk Julie Franklin said nomination petitions can’t be released to potential candidates until Aug. 4. The last day to file petitions is Aug. 24. In the meantime, it is unclear who else will vie for the council seats. Steve Aigner, organizer for the Community Alliance of the

Yampa Valley, said he knows about people who intend to run but still are “bargaining with their husbands and wives.” Aigner said he could not reveal their names. Former Steamboat Springs Planning Commissioner Steve Lewis has been rumored to be running, but he said Friday that he is not.

Issues abound Candidates said growth issues will be a major issue again this year. The potential annexation of Steamboat 700 was a big issue in 2007. The city is still in the process of negotiating the annexation, with a decision planned for this fall. Reisman said growth is inevitable and that he doesn’t see it as a bad thing, but he did not provide an opinion about Steamboat 700, specifically, because he said

he doesn’t know enough about the proposed master-planned community west of city limits. Hermacinski and Magill said if the City Council approves the annexation this fall, it is likely that signatures will be collected and that the annexation will be put to a referendum election. Aigner agreed. “I do think that that is better than a 50-50 chance,” he said. “I think something like that is going to happen.” Steamboat 700 Principal and Project Manager Danny Mulcahy, however, said he doesn’t think there is much movement behind efforts to put Steamboat 700 to a vote. He said he has had a political consultant on his team from the beginning but has not hired anyone specifically to prepare for an election. If referendum efforts are successful, it

probably would not be in time to put a question on the 2009 ballot, and the city would have to schedule a special election. Declining city revenues and budgetary concerns also are likely to be an issue this campaign season. Magill said potential cuts to public safety and the Parks, Open Space and Recreational Services Department could prove contentious. The city made massive budget cuts this year that included a furlough program that has seen city employees’ pay and hours cut 10 percent. Also, Assistant Finance Director Bob Litzau said last month that the city is looking to cut an additional 10 percent, or about $2 million, from its 2010 general fund budget; that’s on top of a revised 2009 general fund budget that already has been cut about 13 percent from 2008.

kids, and I’m the only one in my family who has cancer, so I think it’s important to figure out why some people get cancer and others don’t, even when they’re exposed to the same environmental factors.” From 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. Aug. 7, during the third annual Steamboat Springs Relay For Life, Kerrigan will team up with local co-organizer Jodi Bringuel to enroll participants in CPS-3, a new long-term study by the American Cancer Society that during the next 20 to 30 years will track people between ages 30 to 65 who have no personal cancer history. Participating in the study is one effort to find answers to what contributes to or causes cancer, whether it’s diet, elevation, exercise or other behavior and lifestyle factors. To Kerrigan, the study is an easy way for the community at large to become involved and help “get rid of the cancer demon,” she said.

The fourth annual Steamboat Springs Relay For Life starts at 6 p.m. Aug. 7 at Steamboat Springs High School. Participating teams will walk through the night to show their support of the battle against cancer. Registration for the event is open, and donations can be made directly to team members or online at www.steamboatrelayforlife.com. As of Friday afternoon, 44 teams and 357 participants had raised $56,467.95 for the Steamboat Relay, according to the event Web site.

consent form, complete a written survey, get their waist measured and give a small blood sample. A more detailed survey focused on lifestyle, behavioral and other environmental factors will be sent through the mail, with shorter follow-up surveys coming every two years. With a goal of enrolling 500,000 people of diverse demographics, ACS gave Steamboat organizers an estimate of 224 enrollees; Bringuel said she’d like to see about 200 people sign up. The age range of the study is meant to capture people who will be easier to track during the 20- to 30-year time period. Steamboat is one of three Colorado communities participating in enrollment this year; study organizers generally look

for Relays that have at least 1,000 people registered, according to the ACS Web site. In 2008, the Steamboat Relay brought in more than 600 participants. “It’s an honor that our Relay gets to do the study. … Because we’ve been so successful in just the three years of Relay here in Steamboat, we were chosen,” Kerrigan said. “It means the American Cancer Society has a lot of faith in our community to come out and support this part of it.”

Passion for finding a cure Bringuel has no personal cancer history, but her experience with the disease runs deep. “I lost my father to cancer when he was 45, and I’ve lost quite a few other relatives to cancer. So it’s something that hits home for me; I’ve had a lot of experience dealing with it,” she said. Bringuel plans to enroll in the study and feels strongly that environmental factors can affect the occurrence of cancer. She and Kerrigan have been involved with Relay For Life committees since the national fundraiser came to Steamboat Springs for the first time in 2006. Participants in the event will walk around the

Steamboat Springs High School track starting at 6 p.m. Aug. 7, through the night into the morning on Aug. 8. Participants in CPS-3 must sign up in person; the only opportunity to do that in Steamboat will be from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. at the Relay. “If people didn’t have the time commitment to participate in the whole 24 hour commitment of Relay For Life, it’s a good way to still support the cause by showing up and giving 30 minutes of their time,” Kerrigan said. Bringuel and Kerrigan are looking for a couple of volunteers to help with the enrollment. Volunteers need to be finalized by the end of the week and must be available from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. Aug. 7 for the sign-up. The study is not directly tied to Relay; rather, it falls under the same purpose-driven umbrella. “It’s something that is kind of separate from the Relay, but we do it at the Relay because we know that’s where to find people who are passionate about finding the cure,” Bringuel said. — To reach Margaret Hair, call 871-4204 or e-mail mhair@steamboatpilot.com

Bonsai tent proves popular Art continued from 1A Davis waved the checkered flag to launch each race. “You can go ahead and do it again, as many times as you want,” she told a group of competitors. “Gravity is free,” joked a dad on the sidelines. Hundreds of tourists and locals crowded the 35th annual Art in the Park. The free event includes more than 150 vendors this year, as well as music and theater performances. Saturday was plenty warm and sunny, and shade was at a premium. People crowded toward the trees with fried potato twists, gyros, funnel cakes and frosty lemonades. “Are you guys charging for shade?” one man joked. “What is it, 10 bucks? Got change for a 50?” Paul Peng’s tree-filled booth was busy, but it didn’t have anything to do with the shade. You’d have to do some high-level yoga to squeeze under one of his bonsais. Peng brings the tiny trees to Art in the Park from his Los Angeles home each year. He’s come here since 1995 representing Lily’s Bonsai, which is named after his wife. Peng said he has repeat local customers who enjoy cultivat-

If you go ■ Art in the Park continues from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. today at West Lincoln Park, 13th Street and Lincoln Avenue. Admission is free; donations to the Steamboat Springs Arts Council will be accepted at the gate. Live entertainment and interactive arts offerings will take place throughout the festival. ■ The 29th annual Hot Air Balloon Rodeo also is today at Bald Eagle Lake. The launch field opens at 6 a.m., with balloons inflating at 6:30 a.m. and taking off at about 7 a.m. They leave from Bald Eagle Lake, off U.S. Highway 40 south of Steamboat Springs; free parking is available at the Meadows Lot at Pine Grove and Mount Werner roads. No parking is available at Bald Eagle Lake.

ing bonsais. He provides instructions to customers about how to care for their bonsais. They need to be watered every two days, they need fertilizer every three months and must be trimmed only once a year. They do grow a bit, Peng said, and need to be repotted every few years. The Chinese art is 1,700 years old, he said, and it’s relaxing. “It’s so peaceful — very calmed down,” Peng said. And make no mistake about his role at the fair: The trees are a work of art, he said. “Bonsais are a personal art, a living art,” Peng said.

Funds offered to Routt County nonprofit groups The housing authority, Horizons, LIFT-UP and seniors countywide benefited in 2008 from grants provided by the Colorado Association of Realtors through the Steamboat Springs Board of Realtors. The opportunity is back in 2009. The Steamboat Board of Realtors announced it has funds available for qualified Steamboat Springs nonprofits that provide affordable housing to Colorado residents. Grant applications will be accepted through July 24. “The Steamboat Springs Board of Realtors has over $4,500 available for local housing projects,” Tim McCarthy said. “In 2008, Colorado Association of Realtors Housing Opportunity Foundation donated the most ever in a single year — $714,000 to more than 100 nonprofit and public housing organizations in Colorado.” Recipients in 2008 were Horizons Specialized Services, receiving $2,000; LIFT-UP of Routt County, receiving $5,000; Yampa Valley Housing Authority, receiving $3,000; and Routt County Foundation for Senior Citizens, receiving $15,000.

Developers move earth, heaven 1970s duplex gives way to 8,000 square feet of mountain contemporary space

he Boulder developers of a set of duplex townhomes in the mixed aspen and conifer forest at 2330 Val d’ Isere Circle moved earth and heaven to realize their latest project. “We hauled 12,000 yards of dirt out of here and poured 370 STORY BY of conTOM ROSS yards crete,” Jonathan Nassar said. “Really, the site dictated the architecture.” Nassar, whose New Design Logic recently built the Arista live-work lofts near the Broomfield Events Center, teamed with Jay Czarkowski, of Construction Deign Group, on the project. It includes 4,000 square feet on each half. The three levels of the homes are terraced into a lot bordering a seasonal creek. The stream still was running with musical snowmelt during the first week of July. Czarkowski’s company just broke ground on the amenity building for Barn Village at Steamboat. The two men collaborate on duplexes in Steamboat and have built several on the winding mountain roads south of the ski area. Before they could begin construction on their latest project, they had to raze a much smaller duplex dating to the 1970s and tame the steep driveway. They paid $726,000 for the property and considered it to be a very attractive price even though they intended to scrape the older home. The northern unit is priced at $1.75 million,

Construction of the new duplex at 2330 Val d’ Isere Circle required the removal of 12,000 yards of dirt.

and the south side is priced at $1.65 million. The developers have split the listings between two different real estate brokerages. Susan Ross and Robert Yazbeck, of Coldwell Banker Silver Oak, have listed the

north side, closest to the creek. Chris Wittemyer, of Prudential Steamboat Realty, has the listing on the south side of the duplex. The two homes share many similarities, but it doesn’t take long to realize they also were

carefully planned to be distinctly different. “They were designed to accommodate two to three families,” Nassar said, “with the kids on the third floor, separate from the adults.” Each side has master and

junior master suites. The master on the north side functions much like a selfcontained, high-end hotel suite with a wet bar that suggests the owners wouldn’t have to leave See Earth, page 2B

First-half building permits off 80 percent from 2008 Tom Ross

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The dollar value of permitted construction projects that came through the Routt County Regional Building Department in the first six months of 2009 is just 20 percent of what it was on the same date in 2008. However, the figures for the month of June offered a glimmer of hope. Valuation thus far in 2009 is $43.53 million, compared to $208 million through June 2008. “You have to remember that last year was our busiest year ever,” Building Department Official Carl Dunham said. “So you’re taking the worst year in a long time and comparing it to a record.”

The valuation that was permitted by his department in May 2008 totaled $139 million, Dunham said. That number was influenced heavily by the permit for vertical construction at the One Steamboat Place condominium project comprising nearly 500,000 square feet at the base of the ski area. This year’s numbers are disappointing, Dunham said, but not too far out of line with historical trends. “We’re in an average year — maybe a little below average,” Dunham said. June saw activity that was closer to June 2008 than the preceding five months of 2009. Countywide, there were 29 permits issued in June compared with 31 for the same month last year.

In Steamboat, those permits included two single-family homes with a combined value of $1.08 million, two duplexes totaling $825,000, and two commercial buildings with a combined value of $913,000. Valuations for building permit purposes do no reflect the full retail value of the building. Dunham took more encouragement from the number of requests for plan reviews in June. Year-to-date numbers look bleak compared to June 2008, he said. “In an average year, we would have done 319 plan reviews,” he said. “This year, we’ve done 161. I think that’s a telltale. They could be a deck or a high rise, but that’s the number of jobs.” See Permits, page 2B

Casey O’Donnell, owner of Steamboat Springs Excavating, works on a water line at the site of the new amenity building at Steamboat Barn Village. O’Donnell said the foundation has been dug and that he anticipates Performance Concrete Construction, of Steamboat, will begin placing forms this week.

without the usual bang. The north side has a hibachistyle cooking island for cooks who like to interact with their guests. The kitchens have dual ovens and dishwashers. Bathrooms feature travertine tile and Hansgrohe stainless fixtures. Both homes have fireplaces on three levels and an unusual number of decks and covered porches to take advantage of the wooded setting. Coincidentally, Nassar and Czarkowski independently own duplex lots at Barn Village. Nassar said with stringent financing that requires 20 percent down, he will wait for the economy to rebound before building there. Czarkowski and his investors have adapted their business plan and will move forward with at least one duplex building at Barn Village, he said. “I got everybody together and said, ‘This is the world we live in now guys.’ We’re approaching it now as a nightly rental, expecting to reduce our holding cost,” Czarkowski said. “It won’t be complete until the fall of 2010, and if the market still stinks in 2011, we’re all in trouble anyway.” — To reach Tom Ross, call 871-4205 or e-mail tross@steamboatpilot.com

June saw 67 plan reviews Permits continued from 1B After April produced just 29 requests for plan reviews compared with the average of 62 — and May followed up with 31 requests versus the typical 82 — June bounced back with 67 plan reviews. The average number of plan reviews for June is 80. “At least we’re getting some business,” Dunham said. His office recently laid off a plan examiner because of a lack of work. Dunham said the first-half valuation of $25.3 million in the city of Steamboat Springs was the lowest since 2002 or 2003, and Routt County’s figure of $18.2 million is lower than any year since 2000. The Routt County numbers are skewed modestly by the fact Hayden has established its own building department this year and its figures are not included in those compiled by Dunham’s staff.

D.C. commercial properties resist downturn Alex Veiga

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

It’s often said that Washington, D.C., functions as a world of its own, out of step with the rest of the country. Fortunately for owners of office, retail and apartment space, the maxim also applies to the commercial property market. Even as the recession continues to squeeze commercial real estate owners across the United States, the impact on the nation’s capital has been significantly less severe. Washington’s edge? Uncle Sam. “Who needs something like a dot-com boom when you have the U.S. government?” said Hessam Nadji, managing director at Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services. Office and retail space vacancies in the D.C. metro area, which includes suburbs such as Alexandria, Va., and Bethesda, Md., are up, but at a pace well below national averages. Apartment vacancies, meanwhile, are running at just short of the national rate. And D.C.’s fortunes could brighten as the federal stimulus spigot widens. “What we’re waiting for is the rest of the stimulus to work its way through,” said Audrey Cramer, vice chairman of commercial real estate brokerage Cushman & Wakefield in Washington, D.C. “There’s still an awful lot of people who need to be in Washington and influence where that stimulus goes and how it gets spent.” The impact on the commercial property market in D.C. from government spending related to the $787 billion economic stimulus package enacted in February has been minor,

Get ideas from the library Design inspiration can cost nothing Judy Hevrdejs CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Every designer has his influences — and many of today’s tastemakers take their cues from decorating stars of the past. Classic books by legendary interior decorators are a treasure-trove of great design, but how to find them? Look no further than the nearest card catalog or your local library’s online search. Visit (or even call or e-mail) your favorite librarian (ask for the research department), and ask for help finding your wish list of design classics. Hint: If they’re not on the shelves, they can be requested from other libraries. And many are circulating copies, meaning you can check them out. Chances are you’ll soon be savoring the glossy chocolate brown walls in the New York apartment of the “dean of decorators” Billy Baldwin, who once said: “When you want to transform a room into an entirely different animal, change the color.” Or spotting the bright colors marrying multiple patterns in interiors fashioned by ParishHadley, famed decorators of the Kennedy White House. You can tackle your “collections” with help from David Hicks, whose penchant for assembling assorted objects into a visually appealing whole helped make him famous and continues to inform today’s style mavens, including his daughter, author and TV host India Hicks. Though the dust jackets might be a little, well, dusty, you’ll be amazed at how much au courant style you’ll find inside. Try these: ■ “Mark Hampton on Decorating” ■ “Parish-Hadley: Sixty Years of American Design” ■ “David Hicks on Home Decoration” ■ “Billy Baldwin Decorates”

experts say. “It’s taken them a while to get geared up,” Cramer said about the government. However, with private businesses cutting back on the amount of office real estate they use, the government represents the likeliest source of future demand for new office space. For example, the government has leased 80,000 square feet of office space on L Street for use in connection with the U.S. bank bailout initiative, Cramer said. Despite the federal government’s deep pockets, the nation’s capital hasn’t been immune to the fallout from the recession and the credit market troubles that have forced many businesses to cut spending and jobs. The unemployment rate climbed to 6.2 percent in May, nearly twice what it was a year earlier, but far below the nation’s 9.5 percent in June. Although employers like law firms have slashed payrolls, cuts tend to be smaller in Washington, Cramer said. The private sector is continuing to fuel leasing activity, if at a much slower pace than last year. Earlier this year, the American Chemistry Council inked a deal to lease for 87,000 square feet in NoMa, a development on the north end of the city that’s slat-

This year, Marcus & Millichap. By comparison, the Millichap projects it will hit 7.3

percent, less than its national forecast of 11 percent. Retail rents have softened by as much as 20 percent since the spring of last year, estimates Edward Goldmeier, vice president of Grubb & Ellis Co.’s retail group in Baltimore. “Over (last) summer things started to go flat and got progressively softer,” he said. Yet developers are forging ahead with new retail projects like The Yards, which will add 400,000 square feet for shops and restaurants. The 42-acre project is being built by Forest City Washington Inc. in the Capitol Riverfront district and also will feature some 1.8 million square feet of office space and 2,800 residences. Sales activity, meanwhile, is being hampered by the tight credit markets and a disconnect between buyers and sellers. “There continues to be a stress between what people are willing to pay versus what people are willing to sell for,” Goldmeier said. D.C.’s apartment market, meanwhile, is showing signs of wear. Landlords are seeing competition from empty condos, many built during the housing boom or renovated from existing apartment complexes. The vacancy rate was about 5 percent two years ago, but will

creep up to just below 7 percent this year, according to Marcus & Millichap. That’s still better than the rest of the country, where apartment vacancies are expected to climb to more than 8 percent this year. Still, the D.C. market remains one of the best in the country for apartment building owners, particularly those with property in the core of the city, said Keith Oden, president of Camden Property Trust. The Houston-based company owns 17 properties in and around Washington D.C. Camden’s buildings in the D.C. suburbs have seen net income slip about 2 percent, he said, citing more competition. But the three buildings Camden owns in the heart of the district are thriving. They average 96 percent occupancy and rents have actually gone up. “D.C. proper is the only market where we still have pricing power,” Oden said.

Dingle’s inspiring dream

yan Dingle understands what it means to have a dream. He also understands what it means to wait. Dingle has been dreaming about stepping on the ice with a National Hockey League team since the day he laced up his first pair of hockey skates. It’s a dream that carried him through the junior levels, through high school and even into college where he played hockey for one of the top programs in the country and was part of a national championship team. But it hasn’t always been easy for the talented skater who attended The Lowell Whiteman School in the late 1990s. As a junior in high school, Dingle left his friends and family in Steamboat to attend high school in Vail and then Iowa. The moves were an opportunity to bolster his career and get noticed by college and NHL scouts. Today, Dingle finds himself at the top level of the NHL’s minor league system — once again waiting for his chance to shine. He’s spent the past two years rising through the Anaheim Ducks’ farm system. He spent his first year bouncing between a team in Portland, Maine, and another in Augusta, Ga. But last year, he found a home with the Iowa Chops back in Des Moines. He scored 11 goals and had seven assists but never reached his goal of making the NHL. This summer has been busy for the former Steamboat Springs standout. He was part of a trade just a couple of weeks ago that sent former Anaheim Duck Chris Pronger to the Philadelphia Flyers. It’s a blockbuster deal the Flyers are hoping will make the team a Stanley Cup contender. But Dingle will have to wait to find out what the deal means for him. He’s now in the Flyers’ conditioning camp, and in September, he will attend the Flyers’ main camp. Dingle is the type of player every member of the Steamboat Springs Youth Hockey Association and every kid with a dream of playing a professional sport, going to the Olympics or just succeeding in life should look up to. He has pursued a dream his entire life, and he knew the odds of reaching that goal were just slightly better than winning the lottery. The left-winger, who at 5 feet 10 inches is small by NHL standards, probably has heard it all. He might as well have ‘Hey, kid, you’re talented, but you’re too small,’ tattooed on his forehead. But Dingle hasn’t let the comments stop him. Through it all, he continues to pursue his dream and despite the odds, it is within reach. Dingle doesn’t have to make the roster of an NHL team to prove his success — he’s already done that. He did it by excelling as a junior, and by playing for a national championship team at the University of Denver. He did it by earning an invitation from the Ducks, and by earning a shot with the Flyers. Dingle already has proven he understands what it means to have a dream, and inspired us all simply by chasing it.

Athletes hit the sand Volleyball tournament continues today at Howelsen Joel Reichenberger PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

A gathering storm east of town didn’t shift the course of the debate at all. Was it the volleyball that brought such a large crowd or the party atmosphere unmistakably drifting through the air? “I’d say it’s about 50-50 for us,” Montrose resident Jaime Clark said, relaxing in a lawn chair. Nearly 400 competitors showed up for this year’s Steamboat

Doubles Volleyball Tournament. Action raged on the two sand volleyball courts at the base of Howelsen Hill, but it stretched far beyond, filling dozens of makeshift courts fashioned out of the outfield of the area’s softball fields. Endless hard spikes sent volleyballs rolling everywhere, and the cries of a ball well struck and groans of a block just missed nearly drowned out even a coalloaded train that rumbled past on nearby tracks. “This is a loaded tournament,”

Jamey Martin said, catching his breath after he and his playing partner, Myk Zerebeckyj, dispached their first opponents, 2117, 21-15. He should know. Martin and Zerebeckyj are veterans, not just of Steamboat’s long running tournament — Martin has been 10 times and Zerebeckykj, eight — but of sand volleyball tournaments throughout the state. Martin’s been on the winning men’s open team three times JOEL REICHENBERGER/STAFF already, capturing the title most Chip Hollis, left, swings to get a spike past Derran Cannon on Saturday at the See Volleyball, page 3C Steamboat Doubles Volleyball Tournament at Howelsen Hill.

Rain, wind, wet field, sloppy ball and two teams in Steamboat and Wyoming that have a checkered past and Pappas’ stage was set.

Lance Armstrong is trying not to let his rivalry with Alberto Contador distract him and the rest of the Astana team at the Tour de France. On Saturday, the status quo between Contador and Armstrong prevailed as Luis Leon Sanchez, of Spain, won the eighth stage in the Armstrong Pyrenees, while Italy’s Rinaldo Nocentini retained the yellow jersey. Contador eclipsed the seventime Tour champion Armstrong a day earlier in the first Pyrenean ride and trails the Italian, who is not seen as an overall title threat, by six seconds. Armstrong is eight seconds back. The Astana team, facing new questions about whether teamwork still trumps its brewing two-man rivalry, on Friday had a powwow on the team bus about the breakaway by Contador a day earlier. “What’s said in the bus, stays in the bus,” said team sporting director Johan Bruyneel, confirming the breakaway was discussed but refusing to offer details to reporters. Before the ride Saturday, when Versus’ Frankie Andreu asked whether Astana was more divided now, after Contador’s breakaway, Armstrong dodged the issue. “I’m going to refuse to comment on that,” Armstrong said. “At the end of the day, we’re all professionals — and even if there were some hurt feelings, we’re going to do our job.” Armstrong didn’t speak to reporters after Saturday’s stage, a 110-mile trek along three big climbs from the Pyrenean principality of Andorra to SaintGirons, France. Armstrong posted on Twitter: “St8 done. Tough but not 2 challenging. Had anti-doping control AGAIN.” Cycling’s governing body UCI and France’s anti-doping agency have stepped up urine and blood tests this year in an effort to root out cheats.

The climbs were great, the terrain was great and the trails were different,” he said. “If you’re someone not used to running trails, it keeps you on your toes. “I love it. It’s great to be around people who enjoy a race. They’re all doing it because they love to be outside.”

He took second at a tournament in Vail, losing to Zerebeckykj’s team earlier this summer, but he teamed up with his opponent to win a tournament last year in Breckenridge. “Volleyball is cyclical,” Martin explained. “Occasionally, there will be a down year, but this year, this tournament is stacked. There are a lot more men’s teams here this year and a lot of grass teams, too. It just keeps getting bigger.” As compelling as the action on the court was, it was hard to miss everything happening off it. Competitors threw up tents everywhere there were courts, but

Even on a warm day, no one was sweating any frustration over games lost. “It’s great. It’s not far from home, and you get away for the weekend to hang with a bunch of people you know,” Martin said. “We sit, drink and have a good time. Everyone is pretty supportive of everyone else. It’s all fun among good friends.” The tournament will continue today with the final wrapping up at about 6 p.m.

Music filled the air as bikinis filled every man’s eye. Clark and her playing partner, Amber Gardner, fell from the women’s grass B bracket after finishing third, going 3-2 in their six-team pool. Only the top two teams advanced. With the action over early in the day, the pair lounged under a canopy, slipping out only occasionally to soak up some sun. “We’re having a lot of fun,” Clark said. “The best thing is, we got it done in the morning, and we have the rest of the day

Player: We knew we were going to win Rugby continued from 1C After each had breezed through pool play, the storms started to roll in. But the rain and slop only added to the drama. Playing 20-minute halves, the two sides each had opportunities to take leads in regulation. But the rain evened the playing field, and the 40 minutes just weren’t enough. Steamboat had the best chances early in extra time. The first came when Steamboat captain and coach Michael Hurley kicked a ball deep and went to retrieve his own ball. With an open field in front of him, the wet ball slipped out of his grasp. The second came just minutes later when Robbie Shine appeared to score the game-winner for Steamboat, but a questionable knock-on erased the try.

— Glenwood especially. They came out real hard against us.” But in each of the pool play games, it was no more than an afterthought whether Steamboat was going to win. The green and orange took advantage early in each contest and thwarted numerous opportunities from the opposition. And by the time Steamboat reached the final, it was tough to imagine that it would be denied its third straight Cow Pie Classic title. “We’ve got a lot of pride and passion,” Hurley said. “We have guys that the jersey means something to. It wasn’t an easy road. Once we got used to winning, it kind of snowballed from there. I couldn’t be prouder of the guys. This was a defining moment for the club.”

But at the 27th minute of extra time, Pappas found his opening. “No, I think we pretty much knew we were going to win,” said Erik Wernig, who Hurley named Man of the Tournament afterward. “It was a must-win situation. We weren’t leaving our pitch losers.” As epic as the championship game went, Steamboat was dominant in pool play. Steamboat decidedly beat Fort Collins, Glenwood Springs and Boulder by a combined score of 70-0 in the first three games. Led by the strong play of Bjorn Utu, Pappas, Chris Baumann and Mark Monger, Steamboat cruised through the first three games. “Two years running, we came in as the team to beat,” Pappas said. “Everybody came out wanting to give us a beating

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

It was almost expected that when playing the first game of the district Little League tournament, the Steamboat Springs 11- and 12-year-old team would come out with some nerves. But it also was certain the three-time defending district champions would respond in a big way. So, after a rough first inning Saturday, Steamboat responded resoundingly, putting away Summit, 12-2, in a game shortened to five innings. “I think first-inning jitters really hit us (Saturday),” Steamboat coach Tim Bishop said. “(Pitcher) Koby (Bishop) struggled throwing strikes. I was happy limiting them to two runs.” Regarded as the two best teams in the bracket, Summit and Steamboat looked destined for a back-and-forth game. Summit loaded the bases with no outs in the first inning and managed to push two runs across. Steamboat responded with two runs of its own in the bottom half of the inning to tie the score at 2. Heading into the bottom of the third inning, Steamboat finally got the bats going. With two on and two out, Danny LaPointe hit a line drive, two-run double down the right field line to put Steamboat up, 4-2. Then in the fourth, Camden Lawhead came back with a two-out, two run single of his own to put Steamboat up, 7-2. Steamboat added five runs in the bottom of the fifth — in large part to a bases-clearing double by Jesse Pugh — to put the game away. “We’re a good hitting team,” Tim said. “I think we were way too complacent. We were fighting through that and started driving the ball.” It also helped that Koby settled down on the mound. Limited to 85 pitches in a game because of

Little League rules, Koby looked like he might not make the whole game. He threw 28 pitches in the first inning, gave up the two runs and two hits. But from there, he was nearly untouchable. He retired 12 of the last 14 batters, threw just 77 pitches and finished the day with a complete game, three-hitter. He also struck out seven. “I don’t know, I think we were all just a little nervous,” Koby said about the slow start. “We beat them, but I think it’s the nerves of the first game. I was missing spots. But I just got my focus down and shut them down.”

��

Steamboat now has a day off before playing in the championship game at 5:30 p.m. Monday at Emerald Green. There’s a chance the team will see Summit again. Still, Tim said that at this point, it’s not who the opponent is — it’s how Steamboat plays. “If we make (state), we have to score a lot of runs,” he said. “That’s our only chance. We’re happy with just giving up two in the first and then shutting them down.” In other district baseball action, the Steamboat 9- and 10year-old team beat Summit, 18-7, in Summit.

another successful year. “I did it last year, too,” Denver resident Virginia Singer said. “All of my friends play in the volleyball tournament, so I started running in this race. It’s always a fun weekend.” In addition to the namesake 8-mile race, the event also featured a 4-mile race, which Singer competed in. “When you got up there, you could see all the balloons taking off,” she said. “The trail was awesome.” Matt Hill, a former Steamboat Springs High School runner who competes for Western State College in Gunnison, won the men’s 8-Miler in 58 minutes, 44 seconds, ahead of Josh Smullin’s 58:55. Garrett Taylor was third in 59:14. Erik Ramstad won the men’s 4-Miler in 30:55. Darrell Bruder was second in 36:36, and Rick Guthre was third in 38:00. Missy Krause won the women’s 4-Miler in 35:16. Rachel Humes was second in 36:38, and Ann Flynn was third in 37:09. Amanda Nilsen was the wo-

men’s 8-Miler champ, finishing in 1:04:48. Jenna Gruben was second in 1:08:23, and Eve Stephenson was third in 1:13:58. Nilsen, like Singer, traveled from Denver for the chance to run. She made the trip with a few friends, who also tackled the 8-mile race. “We camp and make a weekend out of it,” she said. “It’s a great excuse to get out of Denver, and it’s a pretty good training run for other races I’m planning on running.” The day wasn’t about times and places for everyone, though. Cheryl and Tim Krumrie live in a Kansas City suburb and are in the middle of a five-week vacation at their Stagecoacharea home. Cheryl Krumrie ran the 4mile course and said it offered the right amount of challenge. “We’re avid runners, but this is the first time we’ve ever run a trail race,” she said. “It wasn’t as hard as I expected. You had some inclines, but you had flats you could really recover on.” Tim Krumrie, who tackled the 8-Miler, started 166 games for the Cincinnati Bengals,

Kosuke Kimura scored in the 79th minute to lead the Colorado Rapids past FC Dallas. Kimura’s second goal of the year helped end a threegame winless streak for Colorado (6-4-6). He took a pass from Mehdi Ballouchy just outside the crease and sent the ball over goalkeeper Ray Burse’s left shoulder.

Matt Reis made a careerhigh 11 saves en route to his fourth shutout of the season, and the New England Revolution earned a 0-0 tie with the Kansas City Wizards on Saturday. The Revolution (4-5-5) nearly scored in the first minute when Kenny Mansally took Kheli Dube’s pass and fired it on goal, but Kevin Hartman made a diving save. The Wizards are 5-6-5.

Crew 0, Fire 0, tie BRIDGEVIEW, ILL.

William Hesmer made a career-high 11 saves to help the Columbus Crew to a scoreless draw with the Chicago Fire. The goalkeeper’s performance for the Crew (5-3-9) came one week after he had 10 saves in a 1-all tie against D.C. United.

Edson Buddle scored a firsthalf goal to lead the Los Angeles Galaxy to a 1-0 win against Chivas USA on Saturday night. Galaxy midfielder David Beckham watched from a suite alongside former France star Zinedine Zidane.

Cristie Kerr is feeling a sense of calm only a former U.S. Women’s Open champion could understand. Armed with the knowledge of what it takes to win the championship, the 2007 winner is set to make a push for another title. Kerr scrambled for a 1-over 72 Saturday and pulled away from struggling playing partner Paula Creamer and built a two-shot lead against Eun Hee Ji, of South Korea, after three rounds of the Women’s Open. Kerr was the only player with a sub-par score — 2-under 211 — after three rounds on the narrow fairways and speedy, undulating greens of Saucon Valley Country Club. Now, Kerr, who won at Pine Needles in ’07, is in a position to claim her second title in three years. She’s looking forward to the fourth-round challenge and playing in the lead. “There really isn’t a better place for me,” the 12-time LPGA Tour winner said after two birdies and three bogeys. “I love this golf course. “I feel good. I’m sure there’s going to be some nerves in the morning. But I’ve been there. I know I can handle it.” Futures Tour player Jean Reynolds is an unlikely challenger for the title despite two wins in the developmental tour this year.

ROB KANDEL/ALLENTOWN MORNING CALL

Players and caddies walk over a bridge on the 15th hole during Day 2 of the women’s U.S. Open at Saucon Valley Country Club in Bethlehem, Pa., on Friday. On Saturday, Cristie Kerr took a 2-stroke lead.

GOLF — WOMEN’S US OPEN down the stretch. She closed with a bogey at the 15th and back-toback bogeys at 17 and 18 on the way to a 3-over 74. She’s tied for third at 2-over 215 with Teresa Lu, of Taiwan, who had a 1under 70. Reynolds is anxious to make a run at the title in just her second Open. “I love being in the hunt on Sunday,” the Futures Tour leading money winner this season said. “I just enjoy having the chance to win ... and if I stumble, I try not to let it get to me.” South Korea’s In-Kyung Kim

Brittany Lincicome had a 2-over 73, Suzann Pettersen had a 1-over 72, and Kyeong Bae, of South Korea, had a 2-under 69 and are tied for eighth at 4-over 217. The wind was blowing at the Old Course in the Lehigh Valley, drying out the putting surfaces and adding speed to the testy, undulating greens. A few players took advantage of the USGA’s move to shorten the distance of a number of holes to raise the risk-reward factor. The 23-year-old Ji took advantage. She offset three bogeys with

four birdies for a 1-under 70 and even-par 213 total to earn a spot in the final group with Kerr on Sunday in just her second Open. Ji got excited every time she saw her score posted. “Every time I looked up at the leaderboard and see my name up there, it kind of gives me the excitement,” Ji said through an interpreter. Others weren’t so lucky, namely Paula Creamer. Creamer paired with secondround leader Kerr on Saturday, but she fell from contention quickly. She had three bogeys on the front nine, a triple-bogey at 10 and a bogey at 11. She’s at 6-over 219 after an 8-over 79.

Teammates, fans mourn McNair at funeral Saturday Former QB was murdered by girlfriend Teresa M. Walker and Chris Talbott THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HATTIESBURG, MISS.

��

Titans quarterback Vince Young didn’t expect to speak Saturday during his mentor’s funeral. He wound up summing up the emotional day with just a few words. “Steve was like a hero to me, and heroes are not supposed to die,” Young said before stopping to rub his eyes as he talked McNair about the man he knew from football camps as a teenager and called “Pops” — Steve McNair, his predecessor with the Titans. McNair was shot and killed on the Fourth of July by his girlfriend, 20-year-old Sahel Kazemi, who then shot herself in the head. Nearly 5,000 turned out to say goodbye to the 36-year-old during one of the biggest funerals in the recent history of Mississippi, McNair’s home state. Fans and old friends filed into the Reed Green Coliseum on the campus of the University of Southern Mississippi, and McNair’s family rented buses to haul in people from his hometown of Mount Olive. Not far away sat men who competed against McNair or coached him on the field. The high school football team McNair’s son plays on wore their jerseys in honor of the man they often saw smiling from the sidelines. “Mississippi has lost a tremendous legend,” said Cardell Jones, McNair’s college coach at Alcorn State. The hearse carrying McNair’s silvery-gray casket was escorted 30 miles down Highway 49 by nine police officers on motorcycles and several vehicles carried family members. After the two-hour service, the procession headed back down the road for a private burial at Griffith Cemetery, about 20 miles from Mount Olive. Police escorted McNair’s wife, Mechelle, and his mother, Lucille, into the stadium beforehand. Near the end, a handful

of people surrounded his mother and his sons, waving them with fans and programs and giving hugs. Brett Favre, who had a home near McNair’s here in Hattiesburg, sat a few rows behind the McNair family but did not speak. Titans coach Jeff Fisher, Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis and Chicago quarterback Jay Cutler attended. Doug Williams, the first black quarterback to win the Super Bowl, also was on hand. Young was added to the service late, and the quarterback drafted by Tennessee in 2006 to replace McNair remembered him as a father and mentor. Young said he felt selfish at times taking McNair away from his four sons to help him through his own life. He then pointed at the Oak Grove High football team sitting in the stands and told them not to give up if they have someone who inspires them. “Pay attention to that guy because every day you know I had to hear that guy’s voice,” Young said. Lewis played against McNair and was his teammate the final two years of his NFL career. Lewis said he learned studying film and proper technique wouldn’t help him beat a quarterback fueled by will, heart and sacrifice. “I find myself in awe when I speak about a man like Steve McNair,” Lewis said. Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was among those who sent flowers. Titans owner Bud Adams attended a memorial service Thursday night in Nashville where thousands more attended. Fisher was called up to speak from the audience, and he pulled Young over to the podium and led the audience in the Lord’s Prayer just as he did during 11 seasons with McNair before every kickoff. Bobby Hamilton, who played at Southern Miss and in the NFL with New England and Oakland, used to sleep on the floor of McNair’s oldest brother, Fred, when he played at Alcorn State. He also cheered on McNair during his career and recalled how McNair rallied Alcorn State once by scoring two touchdowns with less than a minute left.

CHICAGO

Ted Lilly allowed four hits and a run in eight strong innings to earn his 100th career win, and Chicago beat St. Louis. Lilly (9-6), the Cubs’ lone selection to the All-Star game, walked one and struck out four in a 103-pitch outing and left with a 5-1 lead. The veteran left-hander was staked to an early 3-0 lead with Jeff Baker hitting a two-run, bases-loaded single off Brad Thompson (2-6) in the first. St. Louis got a run in the ninth off reliever Carlos Marmol and had the tying run at the plate before closer Kevin Gregg struck out pinch-hitter Skip Schumaker for his 16th save in 19 chances.

PHILADELPHIA

Ryan Howard hit a tying three-run homer in the ninth inning before Paul Bako’s single gave the Philadelphia Phillies an 8-7 victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday night. The Phillies, who have won eight of nine, trailed, 7-3, before pinch-hitter Matt Stairs led off the ninth with a homer off Matt Capps (1-5). Jimmy Rollins walked and stole second, his third steal of the game, and Chase Utley followed with a one-out single to left.

Mets 4, Reds 0 NEW YORK

Jeff Francoeur had a tworun single in his Mets debut, and Johan Santana pitched seven sharp innings, leading New York against Cincinnati. Omir Santos had three hits for New York, which scored all its runs in the first two innings. Leadoff hitter Angel Pagan scored twice and swiped two bases in his second game back after being sidelined with a strained groin. Santana (10-7) allowed five hits, struck out five and walked one, taking advantage of some rare run support. New York had scored seven runs in the left-hander’s previous four starts.

Brewers 6, Dodgers 3 MILWAUKEE

J.J. Hardy hit a two-out, two-run double in the eighth, and Trevor Hoffman, and the Milwaukee bullpen held on this time to beat Los Angeles. Mike Burns (2-2) struck out a career-high seven and drove in a run to win for the second time in his career, and Frank Catalanotto homered for the Brewers.

Nationals 13, Astros 2 HOUSTON

Nick Johnson, Josh Willingham and Adam Dunn homered in consecutive at-bats and Washington set season highs for hits and runs. Washington’s 21 hits were the team’s most since the franchise relocated from Montreal in 2005. The Nationals last scored 13 runs against the Chicago Cubs on Aug. 22, 2008. Rookie Craig Stammen (2-4) gave up nine hits in Washington’s fourth complete game of the season. Willingham added a two-run homer and an RBI double and

MLB ROUNDUP Alberto Gonzalez had a pair of RBI singles for the Nationals. Houston starter Mike Hampton (5-6) gave up nine hits in 3 2/3 innings, his shortest outing of the season.

Giants 2, Padres 1 SAN FRANCISCO

Pablo Sandoval homered for the second straight day, and Justin Miller (2-1) pitched solidly after an injury forced starter Matt Cain out. A day after Jonathan Sanchez pitched a no-hitter, the Giants beat the Padres for a third straight game behind Sandoval. Sandoval hit his 15th homer of the season in the fourth, a two-run shot off San Diego starter Tim Stauffer (0-1) who was making his first major league appearance in nearly two years.

Pavano (8-7) was aided by three double plays in the first four innings, including a strikeout-caught stealing version to end the fourth. He allowed seven hits with six strikeouts and no walks. Armando Galarraga (5-8) took the loss, his first since June 13. He gave up four runs and nine hits in six-plus innings.

Red Sox 15, Royals 9 BOSTON

All-Star Justin Upton matched a career high with four hits, Jon Garland allowed one run in eight innings. Upton had three singles, a triple and an RBI, and Miguel Montero added a two-run double for the Diamondbacks, who won for the seventh time in eight games. With one day to go until the All-Star break, the secondplace Marlins fell four games behind Philadelphia in the National League East.

John Smoltz got his first win for Boston, and Kevin Youkilis hit two home runs to lift the Red Sox. Smoltz (1-2) struck out seven during five innings, allowing one run on four hits. He struck out four batters in a row during the second and third inning capped off by called third strikes that painted the corner on Miguel Olivo and Tony Pena. Coming off shoulder surgery that cut his 2008 season to six appearances, the 42-year-old Smoltz didn’t make his first start until June 25 against Washington. He struggled with an 0-2 record and 6.60 ERA in three previous appearances. Gil Meche (4-9) left with two outs in the fourth inning with back spasms after he had allowed seven runs — five earned.

ST. PETERSBURG, FLA.

Mike Napoli hit a go-ahead two-run double off David Robertson during a seven-run fifth inning and added a solo homer in the seventh, leading the Los Angeles Angels to their second straight comefrom-behind victory against the New York Yankees, 14-8, on Saturday. Alex Rodriguez homered twice for the Yankees, increasing his career total to 570 and putting him in 10th place on the all-time list.

Rajai Davis and Adam Kennedy each hit two-run homers in the seventh inning, and Dallas Braden gave up two runs during six innings. Davis hit his two-run homer off Matt Garza (6-7) before Kennedy added another tworun shot on the only pitch Randy Choate threw to put Oakland ahead, 4-2. Braden (7-7), reinstated from the bereavement list before the game to pitch for the first time since July 1, allowed five hits, two walks and struck out six. The left-hander is just 3-2 despite allowing two earned runs or less in each of his past eight starts. Garza allowed three runs and seven hits in 6 1/3 innings as Tampa Bay’s nine-game home winning streak ended.

White Sox 8, Twins 7 MINNEAPOLIS

Jim Thome drove in four runs for Chicago, countering two home runs by ex-teammate Joe Crede. Bobby Jenks picked up his 20th save but nearly blew it when Jose Morales hit a tworun single with one out in the ninth after Crede’s sharp grounder shot through Gordon Beckham’s legs for an error to put runners at second and third. Denard Span grounded into a double play to end the game.

Indians 5, Tigers 4 DETROIT

Carl Pavano allowed two runs in eight innings, and Travis Hafner had two RBIs. Pavano left with a three-run lead, but Kerry Wood allowed a two-run homer to Miguel

for Baltimore to extend his hitting streak to a career-high 11 games. Mark Hendrickson (5-4) worked the 12th for the Orioles, who improved to 6-0 after being shut out.

Rangers 6, Mariners 4 SEATTLE

Scott Feldman allowed two runs in the first inning but worked into the seventh, and the Rangers hit three home runs in the 6-4 victory. Michael Young had the biggest homer, a three-run shot in the third inning that gave the Rangers a 4-2 lead. Hank Blalock hit his 18th homer, a solo shot in the second, and Nelson Cruz added a two-run shot in the eighth, his 21st.

Weighing the costs

debate has raged in my mind since the day I first arrived in the Yampa Valley and saw expensive mountain bikes strapped to the top of every Subaru. Does it really make sense to spend between $1,000 and $4,000 on a mountain bike, or is the $100 clunker from WalMart going to get me just as far? Am I really getting, on the low end, $900 worth of more bike? About two years before moving to Steamboat, I picked up a Huffy 21-speed for $100 from a Kmart that was going out of business near my Kansas Cityarea apartment complex. Mostly, it just rusted on the porch, but I didn’t realize how truly insufficient it was until I foolishly paid movers to haul it over the mountains to my new home in Routt County. It took only a few months (seeing what real mountain bikes looked like) and a few rides (realizing about halfway down a large hill that I had zilch for brakes) to come to terms with the fact I needed a new set of wheels. So, I forked over for a lowend but luxurious-to-me Gary Fisher from Steamboat Ski and Bike Kare. Sadly, having now tried both the ends of the price spectrum, I am no closer to closing the debate. In the one year I’ve owned it, my new bike has suffered a pair of catastrophic breakdowns. I noticed a 1-inch crack in the frame after wheeling it out for the first time this spring. How my decidedly tame riding led to that crack, I’ll never know, but the good guys at Ski and Bike Kare didn’t hesitate to send it off to be replaced via warranty. A problem apparently arose when Gary Fisher initially denied the claim. It took them two months to come around and ship me a new bike. It was hardly time to cruise, though. A few weeks later, having knocked out little more than a few rides around downtown, the pedals simply stopped turning. The derailer was irrecoverably wrecked and the chain hopelessly twisted. “I was wondering what happened,” the bike tech said after polishing off $80 in repairs. “It looks like you hit something hard. Really hard. Do you have an angry ex-girlfriend in town or something?” I’m afraid the explanation isn’t that simple. The only idea I have is that maybe something got bent when I loaded the bike into the back of my Ford Escape. It doesn’t make much sense — the thing looked like it had been hit by a hammer — but it’s all the explanation I’ve got. Sadly, it doesn’t do much for the debate. On one hand, outside the two-month wait after the cracked fame, the service I received at Ski and Bike Kare was excellent. Rolling a damaged ninemonth-old bicycle up the counter at Kmart likely would have sent the staff into hysterical laughter. On the other hand, had I only invested $100 into the whole bike, I wouldn’t feel nearly as guilty about my desire to cut the thing to pieces, melt it into a ball and throw it into the bottom of a lake.

Peter Shunny, left, and Bruce Guettich practice footbag net Friday afternoon, a week before they plan to fly to Germany to compete in the International Footbag Players Association World Footbag Championships. Shunny and Guettich have been involved in the sport nearly since its inception. Each has attended the world championships at least 25 of the 30 times the event has been in existence.

It’s all in the foot

Locals to travel to Berlin for international footbag competition

eter Shunny bristles when it’s suggested that he’s become an elder statesman in the sport of footbag. “Hey,” he said with a smile, nodding to his longtime playing partner, Bruce Guettich. “He’s older STORY BY than I am.” JOEL Maybe so, REICHENBERGER but there’s no denying the role the Steamboat Springs pair plays to the small-but-growing sport. They will travel Friday to Berlin for the 30th annual International Footbag Players Association World Footbag Championships. For Guettich, it will be his 28th time in the brightest spotlight his sport can offer. Shunny has competed in the event 25 times. “I just feel blessed,” Guettich said. “Really, when we got out to practice, I get as excited today as I did the first day I kicked a footbag.”

SUNDAY FOCUS

Clearing the net The pair has run the gamut of the sport of footbag, competing in the freestyle and footbag net competitions. Freestyle challenges competitors to do tricks with the bag, flipping it up and around their body before catching it with the other foot. Footbag net is almost the synthesis of soccer and badminton. Competitors flip the bag back and forth over a 5foot-tall net, serving, receiving and even spiking the bag with their feet. In their younger days, Guettich and Shunny were among the world’s foremost freestyle competitors. Watching them pass one of their bags — produced by their Steamboat-based company, World Footbag Association — it’s obvious those skills haven’t deteriorated. Rarely did the footbag find the grass as they warmed up for one of their final preBerlin practices Friday morn-

ing in downtown Steamboat. They kept it alive by launching it off their carefully chosen shoes (the flatter the sidewalls, the better), by doinking it off their forehead and by knocking it high off their heel. They spun to whip the bag back and collapsed to all fours in the wet grass to reach extra far and catch a bag with a toe. But, faced with hard-tomatch creativity and skill from an ever-growing younger generation, freestyle’s no longer the game they travel to participate in. Now, it’s footbag net. The two will compete individually and in the pairs division, in the open and masters classes. The idea of facing mostly younger competitors doesn’t faze the veterans. “As long as we stay in shape and play smart and place the bag where the other person is not, the aggressive part of the game can follow,” Guettich said. “As long as we’re accurate with our shots and we maintain that kind of skill, we don’t have to be real acrobatic or powerful over the net.”

JOEL REICHENBERGER/STAFF

A footbag net championship takes the right equipment, longtime Steamboat footbaggers Bruce Guettich and Peter Shunny said. The bags can vary greatly in filling and composition, a different one making for an entirely different game. Competitors, meanwhile, buy shoes meant for other sports that have flat sides to allow for more clean hits on the ball.

Living legends Despite plenty of trips to the championships, Guettich and Shunny haven’t come away with any open titles. It still looms as a goal, however. “There’s a lifelong dream,” Guettich said. “What it would do for my ego is off the charts. It would be like John McEnroe coming back to beat Roger Federer.” Maybe, but Guettich might be selling his chances short, too. He’s finished third twice, in 1983 and 2003, and he was fourth in 2006. He and Shunny have captured the masters (35 and over) doubles title, and Shunny won the masters singles title. “Anyone can win it,” Shunny said. “It’s about having that determination and putting the time in to learn some great shots and having luck on your side.” It’s not just their continued

JOEL REICHENBERGER/STAFF

The Steamboat-based footbag company World Footbag Association designs footbags and tries to raise awareness for the sport. Its office in west Steamboat features some of the first footbags ever stitched together. Often times, they were produced with little more than sand and some fabric from the back of a couch. Today, the company builds footbags with more than 100 panels and packs them with everything from plastic pellets to steel ball bearings.

competitiveness that has set Shunny and Guettich onto a different level. That much is obvious with a trip to their Steamboat-based footbag company. Their vast variety of footbag products — everything from cheap crocheted bags filled with plastic pellets to expensive leather pouches packed with metal ball bear-

ings — line a row of glass cases. The cases are filled with the relics of the sport, including photos of the founders of the well-known Hacky Sack brand and a few of their original bags. It’s a museum for the sport that has allowed them to travel the world for shows and competitions. “There is prize money

on the line in Germany, but that’s not why we’re going,” Guettich said. “We’ll do it for the same reason anyone who has a tennis racket might just go play under the lights at Howelsen for two hours. It’s just a fun thing to do, and you get exercise along the way.” — To reach Joel Reichenberger, call 871-4253 or e-mail jreichenberger@steamboatpilot.com

For some, the Tour de Wyoming is a challenging sixday ride though the mountains of Wyoming and northern Colorado. But for Pam Duckworth and Steve Kelton, of Steamboat Springs, the annual ride is more of a chance to get out on the road with family and friends. This year’s Tour de Wyoming began Saturday in Lara-

mie, Wyo., with registration. It carries riders over four mountain passes — about 173 miles of the 366-mile trip are uphill. The ride ends Friday in Laramie. “This is our second year for the ride,” Duckworth said. She discovered the ride after friends James Boucher and Julie “Marty” Uhlmann, who live part time in Laramie and part time in Steamboat Springs, encouraged them to take part. This year, Duckworth and Kelton will join those friends,

along with their children and grandchildren, for the ride. “This ride is very low-key, which was a draw for me,” Duckworth said. “There is time to stop and smell the roses, which was very appealing for me.” Race director Amber Travsky said the low-key feel of the ride is what the volunteer organizers are shooting for — but this year’s event won’t be without JOHN F.

Routt County school districts are receiving unexpected money that County Commissioner Doug Monger described as Christmas in July, but don’t expect school officials to splurge on any presents. Routt County is distributing about $300,000 to the school districts that it received from the federal Monger government’s Payments in Lieu of Taxes program. The program compensates local governments to help offset the property tax revenue that can’t be collected Ken Salazar on federal lands such as those managed by the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. Routt County’s PILT payment increased this year because of federal economic legislation. “Each year, counties with federal lands rely on the PILT program to help offset lost tax revenues and to pay for essential services such as firefighters, first responders, schools, water systems and roads,” Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, a former Colorado senator, said in a news release. “This year in particular, with economic pain felt across the country, the PILT program will help local communities weather the storm.” Because of the complex PILT payment formula, Monger said it makes sense for the county to give $300,000 to the school districts. “Whatever we keep gets subtracted off next year’s PILT payment,” Monger said. “This way, the county is being held harmless, but the community is much better off.” The money is being split between the districts on a perpupil basis. The Steamboat Springs, Hayden and South Routt school districts will receive about $214,000, $43,000 and $40,000, respectively. Although it’s not the most exciting option, officials with all three districts said they plan to tuck the money away. “We’re going to hang on to it. We had to use $135,000 of district funds to pay off the vocational building,” said Hayden

Restoring a history Wheeler family paints Hahn’s Peak Schoolhouse to its original color

unique family reunion is giving the century-old Hahn’s Peak Schoolhouse a fresh coat of paint — and settling a sore spot for the Wheelers. Members and friends of the Wheeler family traveled to North Routt County this weekend to paint the historic schoolhouse its original white. The group of volunteers totaled more than 30 and filled eight campsites at Steamboat Lake State Park, traveling from seven states to brighten the schoolhouse that was built in about 1910. They hope to finish the new paint job today. The schoolhouse has been an increasingly faded shade of green since it was refurbished in the 1990s before its placement on the National Register of Historic Places. That color didn’t sit well with the Wheelers, who have a long family history with the oneroom building on Main Street in Hahn’s Peak Village. “The schoolhouse had always been white,” said Darlene (Wheeler) Kemery, who traveled from Olympia, Wash., for the weekend. “We went through picture after picture and couldn’t find one where it was green.” So jokes began about Wheelers sneaking to the schoolhouse

But when one family member found a photo from about 1910 that showed a white schoolhouse, it sealed the deal — the Wheelers contacted Marge Eardley, president of the Hahn’s Peak Area Historical Society, and asked whether they could come and restore the schoolhouse to its original shade. Eardley said she more than welcomed the volunteer work. “It’s a huge contribution and donation to us,” Eardley said about the fresh paint job.

Colorful history Kemery and her four sisters have been hearing schoolhouse lore since they were children. “Dinner time was always story-time,” Kemery said Thursday, as Wheelers young and old scraped old paint off the schoolhouse in warm sunshine. “I don’t know how many times I’ve heard the one about the school teacher throwing that coal bucket at Mrs. McFadden.” Apparently, said Kemery and her sister Laurie (Wheeler)

it at Mrs. McFadden. A gouge in the doorframe still is clearly visible from the incident. The stories start in 1921, when James and Rose Wheeler traveled from Sterling to North Routt to homestead. Laurie said her father, also named James, was in Rose Wheeler’s arms as the family made its way up North Routt’s steep hills in a Model T Ford. The Wheelers had to move the truck a few feet at a time, Timothy said, placing blocks behind the back tires and engaging the manual transmission over and over. The family joke goes that Rose accidentally used little James Wheeler to stop the tires, instead of a block, more than once. “Oh yeah, that one. That’s a good story,” Kemery said. “That’s why he was always so mean, grandma said.” For the Wheelers, the weekend was more than a chance to spin yarns and spread paint. The unusual reunion provided a rare chance to catch up. All five sisters hadn’t been together in 11 years, Timothy said. Kemery said she hadn’t seen the schoolhouse since 1992. Many family members on Thursday sported matching white T-shirts that Kemery had made to commemorate the event. The Wheelers also helped out at Steamboat Lake, the former site of their family’s ranch. Timothy said park officials gave them five nights of free camp-

And members of a younger generation got a look at the schoolhouse of their ancestors — and heard the stories anew. “Yeah, all kinds of stories,” said Laurie Timothy’s son Mitchell, 15. “Especially from Uncle Ted.

Many of the family members were wearing shirts they had made for the project.

Race director: This is our most challenging route yet Tour continued from 1D “The route changes every year,” Travsky said. “This is our most challenging route yet.” This is the 13th year for the ride, the first time the tour will leave Wyoming and the first time it will stop in Steamboat Springs. Travsky said she’s heard a few complaints because the Tour de Wyoming will spend two days in Northwest Colorado, but she said the route was the most scenic way to get to Baggs, Wyo., and the only way to include Wyoming’s Sierra Madre Mountains along the way. The ride began Saturday with a 69-mile trip from Laramie to Walden. Today, the trip takes riders 60 miles, from Walden to Steamboat Springs — the biggest town on this year’s tour, outside of Laramie.

The riders will spend Monday night camping at Steamboat Springs High School or sleeping in local hotels before riding east to Craig or onto Baggs on Day 3. Days 5 and 6 take the riders from Baggs to Saratoga, Wyo., and then from Saratoga to the University of Wyoming’s recreation camp near Centennial, Wyo. The final day is the shortest of the trip, covering 30 miles from Centennial back to the University of Wyoming campus in Laramie. “This isn’t a huge ride compared to events like Ride the Rockies, but it’s a very popular ride in Wyoming,” Travsky said. This year, more than 350 riders registered for the race in just nine minutes. Travsky thought interest in the ride might drop off because of the economy, but that wasn’t the case.

The cost to ride in the tour is $200 and includes luggage transport, continental breakfasts, food and drink at rest stops, mechanical support and pick-up support. Next year, Travsky said, organizers might have to consider using a lottery system in order to keep the field at a manageable number. “This is different than other tours because of its size,” Kelton said. “You know a lot of people, and it has a different look and feel.” Kelton has ridden in larger tours including the Ride the Rockies and the Bicycle Tour of Colorado. He just returned from Europe, where he and Duckworth took part in a bike tour through the Pyrenees. “It was drop-dead beautiful, but it wasn’t more beautiful than the mountains around here,” Kelton said. “In fact, a lot

of the ride was very similar to what you find around here.” Kelton said he is looking forward to this year’s Tour de Wyoming. For him, the best way to take in the scenery is on the back of a bike, and bicycle tours offer a unique experience that’s hard to match. “It’s like being in a bubble,” Kelton said. “You eat, sleep and bike. You look past everything else and put it on autopilot for the week.” Kelton and Duckworth are happy to be stopping in Steamboat partway through the trip. They said it should give them a chance to sleep in their own bed, eat some homecooked food and recharge the batteries before moving on to the second part of the tour. —To reach John F. Russell call 871-4209 or e-mail jrussell@steamboatpilot.com

Superintendent: Money to sit in the bank Funds continued from 1D School District Superintendent Greg Rockhold, referring to the Babson-Carpenter Career and Technical Education Center. “This will go back into our meager coffers. … There’s a lot of uncertainty, and the stimulus isn’t going to hit us, so you just hang on to your pennies.” South Routt School Board President Tim Corrigan agreed with that line of thinking and also noted the state’s budget crisis and uncertainty about how

that might affect school funding. “We have felt for some time that our … reserves are not as high as they should be,” Corrigan said. “Right now, that’s our thinking, but it’s not set in stone. We’re certainly not going to take any unexpected income and run out and spend it. We’re going to be very conservative with it.” Steamboat Springs School District Superintendent Shalee Cunningham said it would be inappropriate to make any plans

��

for the money outside of the district’s budget process. The money could be used for any number of purposes next year, but for now, the money will sit in the bank, Cunningham said. “It was a surprise to us. We didn’t expect it or include it,” she said. “We have a balanced budget, so I don’t want to jump to any conclusions. It might be a different story if we had deficits.” — To reach Brandon Gee, call 871-4210 or e-mail bgee@steamboatpilot.com

From the Friday, July 13, 1934, edition of The Steamboat Pilot: Harold Drinkwater, of Denver, who is in charge of the social welfare survey of Routt County, is getting his committee together with the purpose of proceeding with the intensive study of conditions in this section. Prominent people from the various towns are being selected for the work, which will include committees on education, publicity, legislation, homes, institutions and health. The findings so far secured by Mr. Drinkwater indicate that Routt County is in a much better condition than many other communities. The average percentage of persons on relief in the state is 17.7 percent, and Routt County has less than 8 percent on relief rolls at the present time.

Looking Back Articles from our archives

Routt County has 81 persons on the old age pension list who are receiving an average of $13.27 per month. There are 452 persons in the county who are older than 65, or 4.8 percent of the population. About 5 percent of the general population of the United States is older than 65. The social survey in Colorado as far as it has progressed shows that larger proportions of children younger than 16 years were found on relief rolls than were people of any other group. Of the total number of families receiving relief in October 1933, 84.2 percent were white, 11 perSee Looking Back, page 4D
