The Steamboat Springs City Council won’t let Steamboat 700 developers off the hook when it comes to paying for all or part of a new $9 million police station. However, council members agreed in principle Tuesday night to cutting the developers some slack on U.S. Highway 40 improvements. Council met with the developers in a work session that went beyond five hours as both sides sought common ground on the best mechanism to manage $80 million of public infrastructure improvements associated with the proposed development and its bid to be annexed into the city. The site west of the city has long been identified as the area where someday Steamboat would grow in a measured way to provide housing for working families. The collegial tone of Tuesday night’s discussion didn’t reflect all of the urgency Steamboat 700 Project Manager Danny Mulcahy is feeling as summer wears on. “The growth area is gone if I don’t get annexed this year,” Mulcahy told the Steamboat Pilot & Today during an interview Tuesday morning. “I’ll cut my losses and go. I’m not going to go through this for another See Council, page 17

onsider the legume. This odd-sounding word resembles the noise you produce when you have a swollen sore throat and can barely swallow. Or the choked-up noise a clogged toilet makes when you try to flush it. Legume rhymes with baboon, doom and gloom. And according to many food articles I read, my diet is suppose to be chock full of legumes such as black beans, chick peas, black-eyed peas and lima beans. This is a hard thing to get excited about

LIFE IN THE ’BOAT

Joanne Palmer and not exactly a motivating force to spring out of bed in the morning. It doesn’t constitute a food reward, either, as in: “I am going to finish this column, go on a bike ride and top it off with a spoonful of succotash.” Yuck. And so, the question arises, to bean or not to bean? How hard could it be to add a little health to our lives? Feeling virtuous, I decided to make brown rice, lentils and caramelized onions for dinner. It was economical, quick and sweet Vidalia onions were in season. The mushy result in the pan produced the following responses: “Blech,” said my boyfriend. “Blech,” echoed my son. I choked down a few spoonfuls and said brightly, “Maybe it will be good compost.” Brown rice and lentils are not visually appealing. Maybe presentation had something, or

everything, to do with it. Maybe it needed a few sprigs of parsley to brighten it up. Cooking by color was an important consideration for my mother. We had to have a white thing, a green thing and a brown thing, which translated to meat, potato and a vegetable. Two white things such as potatoes and cauliflower could never appear on the same plate. Eating is supposed to be a joyful experience, and it’s hard to turn handstands over succotash, lima beans or chickpeas. Be honest now, on a hot summer afternoon do you crave a nice, cold ice cream cone or a glob of black beans? I thought so. Healthy eating is not easy. I know I am not alone in this struggle because as I walked through Art in the Park, I noticed a line for funnel cakes, a line for kettle corn and a line for the gyros, but no one, I repeat no one, was in line for the organic salads and healthy wraps. I lined up for my annual funnel cake and chased it down with 32 ounces of lemonade. Even though I split the greasy See Palmer, page 14

Wall salary request denied

Sheriff’s Office employees not exempt from countywide pay cut Jack Weinstein

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Routt County commissioners elected not to act on a request by Sheriff Gary Wall to restore some of his employees’ salaries. A 10 percent countywide pay cut was adopted April 1 to close a budget gap as a result of declining revenues in a down economy. Wall asked commissioners Tuesday to restore the pay of some Sheriff’s Office employees.

Wall told commissioners that according to state statutes, he was allowed to set the salaries of his undersheriff and deputies with approval of commissioners. Commissioners approved Wall’s 2009 budget last year. Wall said commissioners never consulted him before they cut his employees’ pay. “I understand revenue streams are slower, but it doesn’t change my statutory responsibility to provide law enforcement services for the county,” Wall said. “One size

doesn’t fit all. There is a difference in the services we provide. I don’t want to diminish those services.” Commissioners disagreed with Wall’s assertion that his employees couldn’t provide the same level of service unless their pay was restored. They said they didn’t have a choice but to cut pay countywide. “Because of the budget crisis, we asked for this acrossthe-board 10 percent pay cut

Copeland services planned Hayden resident was killed last week in 4-wheeler accident Blythe Terrell

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

��

Hayden will say goodbye to Ann Copeland with a memorial service and wake Sunday. Copeland was killed Thursday when her four-wheeler rolled on her ranch south of Hayden. Her husband, Kevin, is planning the service and has set up a scholarship fund in his wife’s memory. Copeland’s mother, Pat Copeland Holderness, predicted a large turnout at the service. “I expect it to entail a lot of friends from a large area and a lot of hugging and crying, and I hope flowers, because she loved flowers,” Holderness said. Family members already will be in town because they had planned a family reunion for the weekend, she said. Ann and Kevin Copeland’s sons, Seth and Tanner, also have returned, Holderness said. The scholarship fund in Ann

Services planned Ann Copeland’s memorial service is at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Hayden High School gym, with a wake at 6 p.m. at the HiWay Bar, 136 E. Jefferson Ave. First National Bank of the Rockies is accepting donations for a memorial scholarship at all locations.

Copeland’s name is in the care of First National Bank of the Rockies. People who want to donate can do so at any branch. “It’s something that kind of lives on and helps other people, too, and I think she would have liked that,” Holderness said. The service will be at Hayden High School, and a wake will follow. “I think it’s what Ann wanted,” Holderness said. “She didn’t want a funeral. We’re going to have a wake at the HiWay Bar — and she wasn’t even Irish.” Copeland was Hayden, through and through. She was the fourth generation of Yampa Valley residents on her mother’s and father’s sides. Copeland’s father is Wes Signs. Copeland worked at Yampa Valley Regional Airport for two decades. She led the Hayden

Marketplace, creating jewelry under the name Annie’s Antics, according to an e-mail from Hayden Chamber President Joyce Folley. She and Kevin ran the Pyramid Llama Ranch, and Ann Copeland served on the board of directors of the Hayden Chamber of Commerce. She also worked to promote cultural heritage tourism in the area. Bryan Rickman, chief of the West Routt Fire Protection District, was among those who responded to the call at the Copelands’ house late Thursday. Kevin Copeland went looking for Ann after she didn’t return from spraying weeds. The fourwheeler she was riding had rolled over her, Rickman said. “It was almost dark when he found her, and we actually had to search about two hours to find her. … We responded with about four people, and Search and Rescue responded also,” Rickman said. “And I think it was actually Search and Rescue who wound up finding her.” The Copelands’ Pyramid See Copeland, page 14

City needs finance leader

ith the city’s 2010 budget process quickly approaching, it’s an appropriate time for Steamboat Springs to fill its vacant finance director position. City Manager Jon Roberts confirmed AT ISSUE Friday that the city has City finance narrowed its candidate director field to three finalists. position Interviews have been conducted, reference checks are under way, OUR VIEW and a hiring could be It’s announced as soon as appropriate the next week. city is moving We’re relieved to know the city’s Finance forward with Department won’t be filling this without a director as critical the 2010 budget promanagement cess begins in earnest. position. To be sure, Assistant Finance Director Bob Litzau, who has served as interim finance director since Lisa Rolan’s departure in December, once again has done a com-

mendable job. Litzau also served as interim finance director in the period between former finance director Don Taylor’s firing in July 2007 and Rolan’s hiring in March 2008. But while now might be the right time for city government to be understaffed in certain areas, the Finance Department isn’t one of them. An innovative, creative leader with municipal experience can help lead the city through this difficult economic time, ideally minimizing the impact of decreasing sales tax revenues and the resulting effect on city services. “I really would like to find a way for Steamboat Springs to maintain the high level of amenities it provides,” Roberts said Tuesday while discussing the finance director hiring process. Rolan proposed a budget prioritization process before her departure that held promise but was never fully executed. Perhaps the next finance director can pick up the pieces — or bring forward a better process for setting a realistic and appropriate budget.

Do you have something to say about a story we’ve written?

In addition to having a strong financial mind, we hope Rolan’s successor — whether hired internally or from elsewhere — has the ability to interface with the public and the City Council, an area in which Rolan struggled. We also hope the new hire sticks around; the turnover in city management positions the past couple of years is troubling, not to mention counter-productive. Finally, it’s notable that the city has conducted the finance director search without help from an outside firm. The city has contracted with executive search firm Peckham & McKenney for several of its most recent managementlevel hirings. However, some in the city expressed frustration with the performance of the search firm, and Roberts moved forward accordingly with an inhouse process. He says doing so allows him to “be as close to the process as possible.” It also saves the city money. If the result is a strong, capable and committed finance director, then it’s a process we all should embrace.

The opinion of Steamboat Today is expressed only in the space above.

The way we live now David Brooks

THE NEW YORK TIMES

The senators at the Sonia Sotomayor confirmation hearings Monday told the story that public officials are expected to tell on these occasions. It is the civil rights story — about a young minority woman from humble circumstances who overcomes obstacles, fights discrimination and achieves the American dream. It’s a true and inspiring story that people like telling and hearing. Brooks And yet the profiles of Sotomayor’s life tell a different and more complicated story. It’s the upward mobility story — about a person who worked hard and contributes profoundly to society, but who also sacrificed

things along the way. As you read the profiles, you can almost draw a map of her relationships during each stage in her life. In some areas, her relationships are thick and fulfilling, but in others, there are blank spaces. Her father died when she was 9, leaving one such gap. (It is amazing how many people who suffer parental loss between ages 9 and 13 go on to become astounding high achievers.) But as a child, Sotomayor clearly benefited from an extended family that drove her to succeed. After her father’s death, her paternal aunts and grandmother convened an emergency meeting with her mother. They had noticed that Sotomayor was devoted to Archie, Casper and Richie Rich comic books, and they were afraid these comics were distracting her from her studies.

When she arrived at Princeton, Sotomayor once said, she felt like a “visitor landing in an alien country.” As a young woman, she earned a reputation as a fanatically driven worker, who lived on caffeine and cigarettes. Yet she also had an amazing ability to attract and impress mentors. Her ascent wasn’t a maverick charge against the establishment. Instead, at each phase her talents were noticed by a wellplaced member of that establishment — a famous law professor, a revered district attorney, a partner at an elite firm. She was elevated and guided. The profiles describe her as an adult as upbeat and social, leading walks to Brooklyn, hosting poker parties, serving as godmother to many children. Yet throughout the years, she has been See Brooks, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

response, as the news of the past few years indicates). It’s the story of people in a meritocracy that gets more purified and competitive by the year, with the time demands growing more and more insistent. My impression is that judges feel the strain between their social roles and their social lives more acutely than anybody. They are often outgoing people who, because of their jobs, cannot freely socialize with lawyers and others who share their deepest interests. But Sotomayor’s life also overlaps with a broader class of high achievers. You don’t succeed at that level without developing a single-minded focus and struggling against its consequences.

remarkably honest about the costs of her workaholism. Her marriage broke up after two years. She was quoted as saying, “I cannot attribute that divorce to work, but certainly the fact that I was leaving my home at 7 and getting back at 10 o’clock was not of assistance in recognizing the problems developing in my marriage.” Later, during a swearing-in ceremony in 1998, she referred to her then-fiance, “The professional success I had achieved before Peter did nothing to bring me genuine personal happiness.” She addressed him, saying that he had filled “voids of emptiness that existed before

you. ... You have altered my life so profoundly that many of my closest friends forget just how emotionally withdrawn I was before I met you.” That relationship ended after eight years, and her biographers paint a picture of a life now that is frantically busy, fulfilling and often aloof. “You make play dates with her months and months in advance because of her schedule,” a friend told The New York Times. This isn’t the old story of a career woman trying to balance work and family. This is the story of pressures that affect men as well as women (men are just more likely to make fools of themselves in

Resort Ventures West, developer of the residential community Wildhorse Meadows, reports it has signed an agreement with Grand Junction’s Leitner-Poma of America, to build the development’s pulse gondola linking the Trailhead Lodge condominium building and the remainder of the 47-acre master-planned development with the base of Steamboat Ski Area. Construction is slated to begin this summer, with operation

anticipated for February 2010. “We’re extremely excited to have Leitner-Poma under contract to construct the gondola for the 2009-10 ski season,” RVW Chief Financial Officer Brent Pearson said. “It fulfills the vision that we’ve committed to our homeowners, creates and enhances the value in Wildhorse Meadows and completes it all two years earlier than expected.” The gondola will cover the 2,000-foot distance to the resort’s base in four minutes and will feature four groups of two, six-passenger cabins for

The Man of Steel is missing. A mannequin dressed as Superman — complete with blue tights, the familiar “S” logo on the chest and red cape — was reported missing Monday. Superman dutifully greeted customers in front of the My Wireless location at 675 S. Lincoln Ave. Superman was taken from a locked 1940s London-style red phone booth. It appeared someone had broken the lock with a rock, said Andy Brown, founder of the Steamboat Springs-based Verizon Wireless retailer. Brown said the Superman mannequin and phone booth were placed outside the store shortly after the company opened its second Steamboat location there, about 1 1/2 years ago. He said it reflects the way My Wireless operates. “We kind of have a lighthearted approach to everything,” he said. “We want everyone to smile.” An employee noticed that the 6-foot-tall, 40-pound Superman had been taken and reported it missing. Steamboat Springs Police Department Capt. Joel Rae said Tuesday that the incident is under investigation. Aside from some scratched paint to the exterior of the phone booth and a broken light bulb inside, there was no other damage. There was also no damage reported to the store. Because the store’s first location at 1755 Central Park Drive is open Sundays, the South Lincoln Avenue location is not. Brown said Superman could

Se expanden las reglas para pasear a perros sin correa Brandon Gee

PERSONAL DEL PILOT & TODAY

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

La ciudad ha expandido su programa que permite pasear a perros sin correa en dos parques, pero algunos proponen que las regulaciones acerca de los perros sean más informales en Steamboat Springs. La comisión de Parques y Recreaciones de Steamboat Spring votó unánimemente para permitir a los perros jugar sin cor-

rea en el Parque Rita Valentine y el Lago Lower Spring Creek desde el amanecer hasta el atardecer, siete días a la semana. La decisión sigue al programa a prueba que permitía a los perros pasear sin correa por los parques solo por ciertas horas a la semana en días designados. Supervisor de espacios abiertos Craig Robinson dijo que no ha habido incidentes o quejas acerca de los perros sin correa en el parque a través del programa a prueba. “Yo creo que es fantástico.

Tomo como dos años, pero conseguimos lo que buscábamos,” Frank Cefaratti, líder del Grupo de Dueños de Perros Responsables de Steamboat, dijo acerca de las oportunidades de expansión para pasear perros sin correa. “Es algo que ya debería haber pasado.” No ha habido ningún cambio en las leyes acerca de la correa en ningún otro lado de la ciudad. “En cualquier otro sitio en la ciudad, aparte de estas dos

áreas, la ley acerca de las correas sigue en efecto,” dijo Robinson. “Y en todo momento y en todas las áreas, los dueños de perros necesitan recoger y botar los desechos de sus perros.” RDOGS y otros ahora están esperando que la ciudad pueda liberalizar más las regulaciones para permitir que perros que se comportan bien caminen sin su correa aún más. “Steamboat merece ser un sitio que sea amigable para perros y personas,” dijo fotógrafo

local Joseph Cosby, quien dijo que él obtuvo más de 250 firmas en menos de cinco horas de dueños de perros quienes dijeron que estaban dispuestos a pagar $50 para una prueba para los perros que demostraría que sus perros son sociales y responden a órdenes a cambio de tener el derecho de tener a sus perros sin correas en más áreas. “Eso da a los dueños más espacio que solo dos parques. Si los perros pueden pasar la prueba, ¿Cuál es el problema?

Winter Air Service Critical to Yampa Valley The winter of 2009-10 represents the 24th year of the winter flight program, offering nonstop jet service into Steamboat and Hayden and convenient, easy access for winter guests. Final negotiations with each airline have been completed, and most flights have been loaded and available for sale since the end of May. The current schedule provides nonstop flights from nine major airports on four major airlines. Steamboat was successful in keeping all nonstop flights in place, so service will be very similar to last season. Direct flights include those to and from: ■ Dallas and Chicago on American Airlines ■ Houston and Newark on Continental Airlines ■ Atlanta, Salt Lake City and LaGuardia on Delta Air Lines ■ Minneapolis on Delta (Northwest Airlines merged with Delta) ■ Denver and Chicago (new) on United Airlines ■ Denver (multiple daily) on United Express This schedule provides convenient connections from more than 230 airports nationwide and worldwide. In response to reduced demand as a result of economic conditions, some aircraft have been downsized and some days of the week have been eliminated. Overall, these adjustments are not expected to negatively impact guests. The program is primarily supported by Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. and the Local Marketing District based on a contractual formula. The LMD’s income is derived from a lodging tax. Additionally, the

Chamber solicits local business contributions through the Fly Steamboat program.

Contracting for service The service agreements are based on Minimum Revenue Guarantees. Each flight needs to produce a minimum level of revenue, determined by the airline. If it does not make the guaranteed revenue level, the shortfall is owed to the airline. The difference between the guaranteed revenues and the actual revenues is the amount that is paid to the airline. Confirming the maximum risk and negotiating a “cap” with each airline is critical to budgeting for the MRGs. The negotiations are finalized between March and May for the upcoming winter including the size of the plane, the schedule, the days to be flown and the cost. The Local Marketing District board approves the budgeted amount, and Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. signs the contracts so the flights can be loaded and ready for winter.

Managing the program Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. manages the overall flight programs monitoring booking patterns, airfares, pacing and other trends. “We work closely with our airline partners to develop airinclusive products and marketing programs to maximize the performance of the Steamboat flights,” noted Janet Fischer, director of airline programs. “But the No. 1 goal is to provide convenient access to our out-of-state guests.” The LMD continues to budget conservatively for their portion of the overall costs and actual costs have traditionally been less than budgeted, though the amount varies from

year to year. The sophistication of the projections has increased with historical data, and performance surprises are minimal.

Future funding concerns Airfares for this winter are considerably lower than they were a year ago, as much as 60 percent less, depending on the market and dates of travel and though this is a good thing for travelers, it increases the likelihood that program costs will approach or hit the caps. The combination of increased program costs, cheap fares and declining lodging tax revenues because of the economy, suggests that funding may not be adequate beyond 2011. A reserve of $1 million has been created with the LMD and scenarios now show that could be depleted by 2011.

Timeshares The recent conversion to using

��

the online Rentals By Owner program by many nightly rental property owners is something that is concerning to the LMD. Many of these are not listing taxes on their Web sites and may not be remitting the state and local taxes required. Resort communities across the state are looking hard at putting more effort into auditing and collecting these taxes. Timeshare or interval ownership properties also are not contributing to the tax pool, and yet their guests and owners are benefiting from the subsidized air program. As more and more developments are being approved for this type of ownership, it is necessary to identify ways that they can contribute equitably to providing air service.

Funding opportunities The Chamber, Ski Corp. and the LMD are looking at additional opportunities to aug-

ment the funding for the air service program and meet the increased demand in the future. The Transportation Solutions group is looking at a Regional Transportation Authority that could assess a tax to address a multitude of transportation issues. The importance of the air program into this valley is evident in a recent survey of visitors at the YVRA. In the survey, 82 percent of respondents rated the direct service as being “extremely” or “very important” to their decision to come to Steamboat Springs. During the winter season, 70 percent of our out-of-state guests arrive through Yampa Valley Regional Airport. Whether it’s winter tourism, location-neutral businesses, second homeowners or the energy industry, the community needs to work together to maintain convenient access to this valley.

The Hayden School Board will discuss the district’s bus routes when it meets at 6 p.m. today. Hayden School District Superintendent Greg Rockhold said Tuesday that the discussion would include whether to rearrange some bus stops to make picking up students more effective. Last month, Rockhold told the Steamboat Pilot & Today that he asked Transportation Director Festus Hagins to begin

exploring the financial impact of not offering bus services to students who live in town. At the time, he said the plan was “not a done deal” nor had he heard opposition from parents who circulated a petition opposing the idea. The petition cited some of the dangers facing students should the district move forward with the plan. They included walking during winter,

Last week, I also tried making a smoothie with flax seed, kale and fruit. My son took one look at it and pronounced it “the nastiest thing on the face of the earth.” I don’t even think a sprig of parsley could have rescued the seed smoothie. And so I have decided the only reasonable course of action is to take lots of daily vitamins and line my multigrain hamburger bun with as many leafy greens as it can embrace. Bon appetit.

On Tuesday, Rockhold said the district still was gathering information but that, as of now, in-town students still would be picked up. The district runs five 35- to 53-passenger buses and a small vehicle on five routes to pick up and return its students. Members of the public will have an opportunity to address the board after the meeting begins.

He plans to speak Thursday about the court’s role and his reporting on it. “I want to talk a little bit about what it’s like to cover this interesting and somewhat inaccessible institution called the Supreme Court,” Liptak said. “So part of it will be to talk about the odd journalistic task of covering an institution that in one way is quite secretive and in another way has some really significant public aspects like arguments and decisions.” Liptak said he expected the Senate to confirm Sotomayor as a justice. He said she probably wouldn’t turn the tide in the court. “She leans in the liberal direction, and the person she’s going to replace is David Souter, so for the most part it’s a one-to-one replacement that won’t fundamentally change the makeup of the court,” Liptak said.

Mulcahy urges council to read 2030 report

��

� � � ��

“The need to widen the highway there will come from other developments,” she predicted, and waiting could postpone the need to spend more than $13 million, significantly narrowing the gap between revenues and costs. Mulcahy urged council members to read the recent Vision 2030 report, which he suggested indirectly endorses Steamboat 700. Two women who played significant roles in drafting Vision 2030 responded during public comment. Vision 2030’s Diane Brower said the prospect for work force housing at Steamboat 700 is limited. “It’s a misconception this development will meet the community’s affordable housing needs. It absolutely will not,” she said. She cited a report that concluded that developments like 700 typically create a built-in need for 15 percent affordable housing. The West of Steamboat Springs Area Plan calls for 20 percent affordable housing, meaning that the development would only yield a net of 5 percent affordable housing, she concluded. Kathy Stokes agreed with Mulcahy. “We asked for phased growth, and we asked for paced growth,” Stokes said. “We’ve got to grow. The question is whether we’ll have places for people to live when we do grow. This plan addresses transportation, schools and shopping. It’s a real community, not affordable housing mixed in with tourism units.”

��

two or three years.” However, Mulcahy also expressed strong optimism that should council approval of his project be put to a public vote, he would prevail by a significant margin. And he strongly hinted that if council rejects his petition, he might seek a public vote himself. “If the city turns down my annexation, then I go get my own signatures,” Mulcahy said. Steamboat 700 came to the meeting prepared to ask the city to eliminate some of the line items it is asking the developer to fund, including a new police headquarters, and defer others into the future to ease the financing burden. “The thorniest project has to do with the new public safety building,” Steamboat 700 financial consultant Jean Townsend said. “We can’t find numbers to show that Steamboat 700 would create more than 22 percent of the demand even at build-out. There just aren’t enough revenues to fund a $9 million project by 2016.” Mulcahy has said he doesn’t think it’s reasonable to ask the developer to fund a city facility that was needed before the project was proposed. However, City Council responded that the intent of city staff was to land on one significant public project to require of the developers rather than

attempting to assign a percentage of Steamboat 700 impacts to every project on its capital improvement plan. Council members pointed out that the new residents of Steamboat 700 would have a substantial impact on existing community facilities. “(The public safety building) is one bit of public benefit that is coming out of this,” Councilman Scott Myller said. “The community is already providing an ice rink and all kinds of stuff.” His colleagues agreed. Council has been concerned all spring and summer about a looming gap between the revenues Steamboat 700 will generate from property taxes within its metro districts and a real estate transfer tax, and the cost of building roads and other infrastructure decades into the future. Townsend advanced a new economic model that showed how cutting some improvements and deferring others could close that gap, not just at the end of the plan, but throughout its development. She scored some points with council members when she argued that several phases of U.S. 40 improvements could be set aside as contingency items — to be built only when traffic volume warranted the work. Specifically, she asked that highway improvements beyond Steamboat West Boulevard, the entrance to Steamboat 700, and stretching all the way to Steamboat II and Heritage Park, be delayed until demand warrants.

Charter provision on ballot Craig rule limits personal financial contributions to campaigns Collin Smith

CRAIG DAILY PRESS

20444538

CRAIG

��

At its meeting Tuesday, the Craig City Council took the final step needed to allow voters to keep or repeal a city charter provision that limits a person’s personal financial contributions to their own political campaign. The council voted unanimously, 5-0, for the second reading of an ordinance to place a ballot question on the November general election ballot, which will ask voters whether they want to repeal the city charter provision titled

“Statement of Expenses.” Councilors Ray Beck and Byron Willems were absent. The provision has been labeled unconstitutional by some, including the American Civil Liberties Union, which said it violates a 1976 Supreme Court decision, Buckley v. Valeo. In that case, the court determined someone’s personal contributions to their own campaign could not be restricted without violating his or her right to free speech. The charter provision first came under scrutiny in May, when the council voted to prosecute resident Francisco Reina, a council candidate in the April 2009 election, for violating the provision’s spending limit. As it reads, the provision limits a person’s personal contribution to his or her campaign to $500, whereas Reina submitted documents to the city clerk that declared he spent $1,512.78, more than three times the limit. City Attorney Kenny Wohl raised the question about the

provision’s constitutionality during that meeting, and councilors said it was not their role to determine a law’s worth. The charter was approved by local voters, and only the courts should decide whether it is allowed under the U.S. Constitution. Reina was cited with a Class A municipal violation, and faced possible penalties of as much as a $1,000 fine and as many as 180 days in jail, until Wohl dropped the case at Reina’s court appearance June 17. Two days before the charge was dismissed, however, Reina’s legal team — led by the American Civil Liberties Union — filed a civil suit against the city in Moffat County District Court. According to the complaint filed on Reina’s behalf, the ACLU team is seeking a permanent injunction barring the city from prosecuting anyone for violating the local spending limit and monetary damages equal to attorneys’ fees and any other amount the court deems warranted.

Majority of tax appeals denied ��

But thousands of Eagle property owners have values adjusted

The first round of appeals is over, and thousands of county property owners had their property values adjusted. But more didn’t. Eagle County Assessor Mark Chapin on Tuesday gave a required report to the Eagle County Commissioners about the first round in property value appeals for this year. “If it wasn’t a record, it was close,” Chapin said about the number of appeals his office received this year. Chapin’s office is held by law to a formula that calculates property values based on market information gathered last year. Of course, values have dropped since then, leading many property owners to protest their values — and, by extension, their property tax bills. Besides land and home owners, several residents protested the value of their personal property, a tax levied

on business equipment. While the county’s real estate values dropped, Chapin said personal property appeals actually ended up increasing the value. Those appeals have kept the assessor’s office staff and five hearing officers busy for nearly a month, and a few weeks of work remain. People whose initial appeals were denied can appeal once more at the county level, to the County Board of Equalization. That’s where the hearing officers are doing their work. While property values can be a touchy subject, lead hearing officer Deanna Tuley said she’s heard good things from most of the people she’s talked to. “What I’ve heard most is they appreciate the work the assessor’s office did,” Tuley said. “We started two weeks earlier than in the past thanks to their work and the work of the attorney’s office. People are courteous — they just want to get their information on the table.”

The seller is a firm managed by Daryl N. Snadon, a Dallasarea businessman with a wide range of interests. He is the owner of Beltway Development Co. and Beltway Commercial Real Estate, according to the company’s Web site. The firm develops and leases office, retail and industrial properties, primarily in the Dallas area. Snadon is also director of a company that makes paintball gun barrels and accessories. He is a co-founder of Chamberlain’s Prime Chop House. Snadon’s Cheek Subdivision LLC acquired a lot in the Cheek subdivision on Willoughby Way in 2003 for $7 million, then acquired transferable development rights to build a house larger than allowed by right by Pitkin County land-use regulations.

Aspen’s anemic real estate industry got a boost Friday from the $43 million sale of a Red Mountain mansion. Cheek Subdivision LLC, of Addison, Texas, sold the home in a deal that closed Friday and was recorded with the Pitkin County Clerk’s office Monday. “It was a straight, cash deal,” said Newton Bartley, a real estate agent with Joshua & Co. who represented the buyer. Joshua Saslove, president and founder of the firm, represented the seller. The big transaction reinforces the claim of many real estate

agents that Aspen is the type of market that will continue to attract wealthy buyers capable of pulling off expensive cash deals despite the recession. The house at 421 Willoughby Way has 21,477 square feet of total heated area, including nine bedrooms and 13 bathrooms, according to records at the Pitkin County Assessor’s office. The assessor’s appraisal for 2009 placed the actual value of the property at $50.31 million. The house wasn’t listed for sale. The buyer became interested in the property toward the end of last ski season and eventually was able to negotiate a purchase with the owner, Bartley said. He wasn’t authorized to

Commission: Gas wells not causing flaming water Steven K. Paulson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GLENWOOD SPRINGS

The director of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission says the mystery of the flammable water from a Fort Lupton-area well has been partially solved. Director David Neslin told the commission Tuesday that nearby gas wells were replugged and tests showed methane gas was not to blame. “I don’t know that we solved the mystery, but we evaluated all the wells in a half-mile radius and determined that the wells are operating properly. The wells were not the source of the gas,” Neslin said. “We don’t believe there is a current leak or problem that endangers public safety.” Neslin said he will meet with residents and deliver a full report to the commission next month. Neslin said the owner of the wells installed a water treatment system on the water wells, and that should clear up problems that attracted national attention when tap water in nearby homes caught fire. Anadarko Petroleum Corp. and Noble Energy Inc., which own the wells near Amee Ellsworth’s Fort Lupton-area home, also tested the wells and haven’t found where the gas is coming from. The Ellsworths first noticed problems with the water in the fall. They went public with their plight with videos of their tap water catching fire when a lighter was held nearby. State health officials have said the levels of methane gas in the water aren’t high enough to cause health problems. Neslin said there is a history of naturally occurring methane in groundwater in Weld County, but further studies may be needed to determine the source. Another of the hot topics on the agenda for the two-day hearings that began Tuesday is proposed drilling close to an underground nuclear blast site. Commissioner Tresi Houpt said Garfield County is “ground zero” for drilling issues and environmental issues and that the natural gas industry is still showing interest in developing resources, despite a decline in drilling activity. A full hearing from public health officials, county officials

��

and opponents of Rulison drilling is scheduled for today. Garfield County commissioners sent a letter this spring to Colorado’s congres-

sional delegation and the U.S. Department of Energy seeking field tests so companies drilling for natural gas near the site in Rulison don’t end up releasing

radioactive contamination. The DOE has reported that models show chances of contamination releases are slim. The department has released a

draft management plan for the site recommending that energy companies can drill closer to the area if done in a conservative, staged approach.

Hickenlooper warns of cuts Denver mayor considers trash fees and fewer road repairs Colleen Slevin

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

To close a $120 million budget shortfall, Denver is considering charging a new $10 fee for trash collection, cutting back on pothole repairs and keeping non-violent offenders out of jail. During his annual “State of the City” speech, Mayor John Hickenlooper warned Tuesday that all residents would feel the effect of the cuts — fueled by a 12.7 percent drop in sales tax revenue. The city has been surveying residents about which reductions they would prefer, and

Hickenlooper will present his plans to the city council next month. Officials say watering parks less frequently and Hickenlooper planting perennials instead of annuals are on the table. Despite the recession, Hickenlooper said the city should push ahead with plans to renovate its historic train station as well as expand light rail service, a project which likely would require a sales tax increase. He compared those projects to the building of a new airport during the 1990s despite economic problems.

“It’s that ability of our community to see beyond the problems of today and look toward the hope and promise of tomorrow that makes our city and our region different,” he said at Civic Center Park. Originally the city had been looking to cut $70 million, but last week Hickenlooper announced that $120 million in cuts would be needed after eight straight months of declining sales tax revenue. Sales tax accounts for about half of the city’s income. City workers are being furloughed for four days this year. Crews have been brought in to clean main city offices during the day, allowing the building’s lights to be turned off earlier and saving on security costs. Homeowners would have to pay for trash collection for the first time under the cuts being considered by the city. Property owners could be charged $50 for false fire alarms, and recreation fees could be raised. Another option on the list is sentencing non-violent offenders to home detention and probation rather than putting them in jail.

Retail sales increase in June Martin Crutsinger and Jeannine Aversa THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

Higher energy prices rippled through the economy in June, helping drive bigger-thanexpected gains in retail sales and inflation at the producer level. The higher prices at the gas

pump and for other energy products were seen as temporary, but economists worry that consumer spending will remain lackluster as unemployment rises, slowing a broader recovery. The Commerce Department reported Tuesday that retail sales increased 0.6 percent in June, the biggest gain in five

months. But without the gains from gasoline station sales and a rebound in autos, retail sales actually dipped 0.2 percent. “Severe drags to consumer spending remain in place, but the economic gears are starting to turn market mechanics away from the vicious down-cycle,” said Stuart Hoffman, chief economist at PNC. Meanwhile, the 1.8 percent rise in wholesale prices — double what economists had expected — was the biggest gain since November 2007. It fanned investors’ fears about inflation even though economists said the energy spike was not the beginning of a dangerous bout of inflation. During the past 12 months, wholesale prices actually have fallen 4.6 percent. “A rogue surge in gasoline prices was behind the spike,” said Brian Bethune, economist at IHS Global Insight. He predicted the Labor Department’s July report on wholesale prices would show prices moderating.

Sotomayor pushes back hard High court nominee denies racial bias charges during hearing THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

Sonia Sotomayor pushed back vigorously Tuesday against Republican charges that she would bring bias and a liberal agenda to her seat as the first Hispanic woman on the Supreme Court, insisting repeatedly she would be impartial as GOP senators tried to undercut her with her own words from past speeches. For all the pointed questioning in a grueling, daylong hearing, there was little doubt that President Barack Obama’s first high court choice — with solid backing from the Democrats and their lopsided Senate majority — would be confirmed. Sen. Patrick Leahy, Democratic chairman

of the Judiciary Committee, said as much — and predicted she would receive at least some Republican backing. Sotomayor, 55, Sotomayor kept her composure — judge-like, supporters said — during the intense day of questions and answer, listening intently and scribbling notes as senators peppered her with queries, then leaning into her microphone and gesturing for emphasis as she responded. She returns for another full day of questioning today. “My record shows that at no point or time have I ever permitted my personal views or sympathies to influence the outcome of a case,” the appeals court judge

declared during a tense exchange with Sen. Jeff Sessions, of Alabama, the top Republican on the committee that is conducting this week’s confirmation hearings. He repeatedly questioned her ability to be objective as a Supreme Court justice, citing her own comments. Sotomayor backed away from perhaps the most damaging words that had been brought up — a 2001 comment suggesting that a “wise Latina” judge would usually reach better conclusions than a white man. She called the remark “a rhetorical flourish that fell flat.” “It was bad because it left an impression that I believed that life experiences commanded a result in a case, but that’s clearly not what I do as a judge,” Sotomayor said.

WASHINGTON

House Democrats on Tuesday rolled out a far-reaching $1.5 trillion plan that for the first time would make health care a right and a responsibility for all Americans, with Medical providers, employers and the wealthiest picking up most of the tab. The federal government would be responsible for ensuring that every person, regardless of income or the state of their health, has access to an affordable insurance plan. Individuals and employers would have new obligations to get coverage, or face hefty penalties. Health care overhaul is President Barack Obama’s top domestic priority, and his goal is to slow rising costs and provide coverage to nearly 50 million uninsured Americans. The plan would slow Medicare and Medicaid payments to medical providers. From big hospitals to solo physician practices, providers also would be held accountable for quality care, not just ordering up tests and procedures. Insurance companies would be prohibited from denying coverage to the sick. The industry also would face stiff competition from a new government plan designed along the lines of Medicare.

HOW’S YOUR GOLF GAME SO FAR?

It has been dubbed the “Ike Dike” — a 55-mile barrier, 17 feet high, that would be built along the Texas Gulf Coast to fend off the sort of devastating flooding inflicted by last year’s Hurricane Ike. The grand idea for what would probably be the biggest seawall in the nation faces some major hurdles itself, chief among them a price tag of as much as $4 billion. “Every time you knock me down, I will get back up and rebuild my city,” said William Merrell, the Texas A&M professor in Galveston who dreamed up the idea. After Ike, “I thought, ‘How can we keep from doing it again?”’ Merrell’s solution is to extend Galveston’s existing 10mile seawall — first built after the Great Storm of 1900 killed 6,000 people — with a series of

AROUND THE NATION walls and retractable floodgates that would extend from one end of Galveston Bay to the other. The gates could be closed to block the entrance to the bay when a storm approaches.

Financial company profits after Wall Street meltdown NEW YORK

Goldman Sachs is emerging as the king of post-meltdown Wall Street. Already the nation’s most powerful financial company before the credit crisis, the bank profited handsomely from Wall Street’s rally and the recovering credit markets during the second quarter and distanced itself from the few competitors still standing. The result was a stunning profit of $2.7 billion — even as the bank repaid $10 billion in federal bailout money. The

total blew past what Wall Street analysts were expecting. Goldman pulled off a remarkably speedy recovery from last fall, when it lost $3.3 billion in four months during the worst of the financial crisis.

All-Star streak extends for AL

Tour de Steamboat back for 5th installment

ST. LOUIS

Carl Crawford’s glove and a dominant bullpen helped save the American League’s streak. Crawford pulled back a home run with a leaping grab an inning before Curtis Granderson tripled and scored the tiebreaking run in the eighth, giving the American League a 4-3 victory Tuesday night at the new Busch Stadium. The AL has won seven straight games since 2002’s 7-7, 11-inning tie at Milwaukee and is 12-0-1 since its 1996 defeat at Philadelphia — the longest unbeaten streak in All-Star history. The AL has won all seven times the All-Star game has been used to determine home-field advantage for the World Series. Not even President Barack Obama’s ceremonial first pitch helped the National League, which had been 4-0 previously when sitting presidents threw out the first offering. The NL scored all its runs in the second inning, and 22 of its last 24 batters made out. Starting with Hanley Ramirez’s groundout off starter Roy Halladay that ended the second, AL pitchers retired 18 consecutive batters before Adrian Gonzalez’s two-out walk in the eighth against Joe Nathan. Orlando Hudson singled and, with pinch-hitter Ryan Howard at the plate, stole second before Howard struck out. Mariano Rivera pitched a 12-3 ninth for his record fourth All-Star save, breaking a tie with Dennis Eckersley and giving him eight All-Star innings over eight appearances with no earned runs. Adam Jones drove in Granderson with a sacrifice fly off loser Heath Bell, helping the AL narrow its deficit against the senior circuit to 40-38-2. With four straight one-run victories, the AL matched the All-Star record for consecutive one-run games, set when the NL won from 1965 to 1968. For the AL, pitching and defense was the key in the first All-Star game without a home run since 1999 at Boston’s Fenway Park.

There weren’t any séances or rituals, but just 24 hours after looking baffled at the plate against Summit, the Steamboat Springs 11- and 12-year-old all-stars came back and hit like a team playing for its postseason life Tuesday, downing Summit 14-4 to advance to the Little League state tournament for the fourth straight year. “We practiced (Tuesday) morning and did some hitting,” coach Tim Bishop said. “The whole thing was nothing was going to be handed to us. These guys were trying to take it away from us. I was very impressed with Summit. They’re a good team.” After scoring just two runs Monday against Summit, Steamboat belted 15 hits and took control of the game in the first two innings. Camden Lawhead got the scoring going in the first inning with a solo home run to deep center for a 1-0 lead. In the second, however, was when Steamboat did most of its damage.

Steamboat’s 9- and 10-year-old all-star team advanced to the Little League state tournament Tuesday after beating Summit County, 15-11, in Frisco. “Our goal was to go down there and be 3-0, and that’s what we did,” coach Craig Pasternak said. “One game at a time. These guys went out and played like champs.” Steamboat came out on top of the

The team sent 11 hitters to the plate and scored seven runs thanks in part to two-run singles by Jesse Pugh and Drew Williamson and a two-run double by Danny Lapointe. It was 8-0 by the end of the inning. “There was more pressure than (Monday),” said LaPointe, who led the team with 4 RBIs, including the game-winning single to make it a 10-run rule game in the top half of the fifth. “We knew we had to win this game to get to state. We just hit the ball. We practiced (Tuesday) morning hard. And we had more focus.” Summit tried to make it a game in the top half of the third inning. The team scored four runs, two of which were unearned, to scratch

back-and-forth battle thanks to strong hitting and solid pitching. Pitchers Channing Conner, Robi Powers and Tucker Lindberg each contributed two innings in the winning effort. Steamboat’s hitters were led by Sean Patten, who hit a clutch home run, Jack McNamara, Zach Cooke and Andrew McCawley. The team heads to the state tournament July 25 and 26 in Denver.

back to 8-4. In the fourth, LaPointe had another RBI single, and Jesse Laughlin had a two-run double to put Steamboat up 11-4. Koby Bishop was impressive on the mound, throwing a complete game while scattering seven hits and striking out six. The team now prepares for the state tournament July 25 and 26 in Denver. “We know what to expect,” Tim Bishop said. “We know there are good teams. There are four left in the state. It’s going to come down to hitting and playing with an attitude that we’ll be successful. Eight of these kids have been there four years in a row, so they know what to expect.”

Team splits doubleheaders Luke Graham

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The Steamboat Springs American Legion baseball team had a legitimate chance to win four games during the weekend and qualify for postseason play. Unfortunately, after sweeping a doubleheader with Grand Junction Central on Saturday, Steamboat let early leads get away Sunday, dropping a pair of games against eventual Western Slope League champion Palisade. “We were in control of both games and just couldn’t finish,” Steamboat manager Dave Roy said about the Palisade games. “I think the boys were tired. With two games on Saturday, I think they ran out of gas.” In the first game against Palisade, Steamboat was in control until the team gave up three unearned runs in the bottom of the fourth inning en route to an 11-4 loss. In the second game, Tommy Lyon’s two-run home run gave Steamboat a 5-4 lead in the bottom of the sixth. After picking up two outs in the top of the seventh, Steamboat gave up five unearned runs to fall, 9-5. Still, to even get to that position Sunday, Steamboat picked up a pair of impressive wins Saturday. The team beat Central 9-8 in the first game and 13-3 in the second game.

SPORTS BRIEFS In the first game, Carson Becker laid down a suicide squeeze in the bottom of the seventh to help Steamboat to the win. Brandon Clark and Colton Mahanna combined to go 7 for 8 with 6 RBIs. In the second game, Lyon threw a complete game, threehitter. Alan Capistron and Ryan Tibbetts went 7 for 8 with 7 RBIs. Steamboat finished the season 11-14 overall and 11-11 in league. “It was very successful. There was a lot of improvement,” Roy said. “I saw a lot of growth in our players — a lot of maturity. ... It’s a lot of commitment from the players. I’m pleased and happy with the results.”

Charles Wood, wing Jack Spady had a great summer and looks primed for a huge season. “He’s shaping up to be our guy as a good leader on and off the court,” DeWolfe said. “He’s learning both of those as he goes. In the 16 games we played, he became that leader off the court as much as things he’s doing on the court.” At Wyoming, Steamboat played in the large-school bracket, meaning the team faced the biggest schools in Wyoming and Colorado. “It’s making sure we get into the gym and stay sharp with our skill sets,” DeWolfe said. “We want to make sure the open-gym mentality is a mentality doesn’t turn into street ball. It’s a mentality that it’s like we’re playing during the season.”

High school team wraps up Austin Hinder named summer basketball camps Elite 11 quarterback

The Steamboat Springs High School boys basketball team wrapped up its summer basketball circuit, having started to answer some lingering questions. Although the team finished .500 at the Western State College camp and won only a couple of games at the University of Wyoming camp, coach Luke DeWolfe said he came away from the two camps with a better understanding of what type of team he’ll have next winter. He said in addition to returning guards Isiah Forsyth and

Steamboat Springs High School rising senior Austin Hinder was named to the illustrious Elite 11 quarterback roster. To qualify for the Elite 11, quarterbacks had to attend an Elite 11 regional camp or a Nike Football Training Camp. From there, they were chosen on their performance. Hinder, who is committed to the University of CaliforniaBerkley, was named to the team after strong camps during the spring and summer.

The tournament drew a record field of 224 golfers. “We sold out,” the alwayssmiling Danter said Tuesday. “I can’t believe it, but this community never fails to amaze me.” At one point earlier this year, Danter considered not holding the Rally because of the tough economic climate in the Yampa Valley.

Dahntay Jones smiled and shook his head when asked about the flagrant fouls he picked up for Denver during the playoffs this past season, including one for tripping Kobe Bryant during the Western Conference finals. The defensive stopper won’t hesitate to commit a few more with the Indiana Pacers if necessary. “It comes as a part of the ter-

ritory in this game of basketball and with taking the betterment of my team personally and trying to win basketball games and doing my job,” Dahntay said Tuesday. That job will be with the Pacers for the next four years at $11 million, his agent, Aaron Mintz, said. Jones’ solid work against Bryant and New Orleans guard Chris Paul were among the reasons Pacers president Larry Bird

made signing him his first free agent priority. Jones will join a team that has been among the league leaders in points scored and points allowed in two seasons under coach Jim O’Brien. “We’ve been talking about defense for a while here,” Bird said. “When you watch all these guys play at a high level, you see what they’re really made out of. He showed us a lot. It was somebody who we targeted right after the playoffs, and we went after him, and fortunately, we got him.”

The tension is clear between teammates Alberto Contador and Lance Armstrong. That’s nothing, however, compared to the anger many riders feel toward Tour de France organizers. On a day when Contador and Armstrong held their second and third spots in the overall standings and Britain’s Mark Cavendish won the 10th stage, the Tour took a giant technological leap backward Tuesday. Riders were stripped of their customary earpieces, left to fend

for themselves and denied contact with their teams during the 121-mile route. The decision to ban rider radios and TV sets in cars was made last month. The Tour wanted to inject drama into the race by eliminating earpieces for the 10th and 13th stages. Many riders — Armstrong, Contador and overall leader Rinaldo Nocentini of Italy among them — were far from pleased with the experiment. “The fact is for us it’s dangerous not to have them,” Nocentini said. “There are dangers on

the road.” Instead of drama, the Tour got a day of agonizingly slow riding. The only excitement came with Cavendish’s dash a few hundred yards from the finish for his third stage victory in this race. “The reason to have no radios was to have more attractive racing, and that’s obviously not what happened,” Astana team director Johan Bruyneel said. “I think if that’s what they wanted to accomplish, it’s been a failure. I just think it’s a bad idea to go back 20 years and do something like this, stupidly, in the biggest race of the year.”
