County seeking control Jefferson officials want to ban bikers from certain roads THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GOLDEN

Jefferson County may consider lobbying legislators to allow counties to ban bicyclists from certain roads, something that most cities can do. The county commissioners started exploring the idea after denying a permit for a charity bicycle ride that was expected to draw as many as 1,500 cyclists in September. The commissioners denied the permit after hearing from residents on the event’s route through the mountains west of Denver from Conifer to Evergreen. Residents are worried about the growing number of conflicts between vehicles and cyclists on narrow mountain roads. “There is a growing, serious issue of safety between bicyclists and the motoring public,” Jeffco Commissioner Kevin McCasky said. “Certain roads appear not to be safe to mix the two.” Some drivers say a new law that takes effect Aug. 4 will aggravate problems. Cars will have to give bicycles 3 feet of space when passing, and bicyclists will be allowed to ride in the middle of lanes if the shoulders are unsafe. County Commissioner Kathy Hartman said she wouldn’t back changes without the support of cycling groups. “My primary concern is the level of animosity on both sides,” Hartman told the Daily Camera. “I certainly did not intend to throw gasoline on this one.” Meanwhile, Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle has appointed Scot Williams, a night watch commander, to ease tensions between motorists and bicycling groups. “When I hear about people riding four or five abreast, we can get ahold of them and say, ‘Hey, you’ve got to stop,”’ Williams said, adding that his work includes educating motorists of cyclists’ rights on the road.

US Forest Service urges campfire safety

Top 10 most-read online stories For the week of July 16 to 22

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

The U.S. Forest Service is reminding campers to be careful with campfires this summer. “Right now, the fire danger in the forest and grasslands is moderate with no fire restrictions in place,” Tony Tezak, forest fire management officer for the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests, said this week. “Despite a lack of fire restrictions, however, people still need to be aware of the dangers associated with campfires and be cautious with their use. We have already encountered numerous instances this summer where campfires have been left unattended. This is an accident waiting to happen.” Leaving a campfire unattended is a violation of Federal law (36 CFR 261.5) and is punishable by a fine of $225 to $5,000 and as many as six months in jail. Build campfires away from overhanging branches, steep slopes, rotten stumps, logs, dry grass and leaves. For additional information about campfire safety, visit the local USFS office on Weiss Drive.

The firm also tries to work closely with customers. “Part of it is our team process, I think, and the feel we have with our clients,” Vaughn said. “They feel like a real part of the process.” See Vertical Arts, page 10A

OUR VIEW

County correct with salary move

t was a tough move politically, but Routt County commissioners were correct last week to restore full hours and salaries for 11 airport employees and the building department’s electrical inspector. There are several solid justifications for Tuesday’s deciAT ISSUE sion, which came on the heels Commissioners’ of three July 7 layoffs — one each in the Human Resources restoration Department, Building and of salaries, Plant/Purchasing Department, hours for and Clerk and Recorder’s YVRA, building Office. employees We agreed with those layoffs, difficult and emotional as they were, and we agree with OUR VIEW last week’s decision, as well. Decision is in First and foremost, as the best interest Commissioners Diane Mitsch of the Yampa Bush and Nancy Stahoviak Valley. made clear, neither the Routt County Regional Building Department nor Yampa Valley Regional Airport receives contributions from the county’s general fund. “Neither one of them are tax-supported departments,” Stahoviak said. “They both generate all of their own revenues for the services they provide.” In both cases, operating revenues come from fees paid for services. Cutting hours and salaries for those two departments, Mitsch Bush said, “is not going to hurt or help, either way, the (county) deficit.” That distinction alone sets YVRA and the Building Department apart from county departments that are funded by tax dollars — and that do have an impact on the county’s $4.9 million debt this year. Furthermore, YVRA is subject to Federal Aviation Administration regulations, outlined in FAA rules 139 and 150, which require safety and maintenance standards at certified airports. Airport Manager Dave Ruppel told commissioners last week that the furlough program puts YVRA in danger of non-compliance with those FAA regulations. It’s worth noting that not only does YVRA operate in the black, Stahoviak and Ruppel said YVRA also declined about $240,000 the county had budgeted this year for airport capital projects, allowing the strapped county to use that money elsewhere. In addition, Ruppel said YVRA is paying the county about $414,000 this year for accounting, legal and personnel services. Ruppel said that in the busy winter season, overtime pay is an invaluable and necessary benefit he can offer his employees, who even when fully staffed often are needed for more than 40 hours per week to keep the airport running smoothly. Adequate staff also is needed in the slower summer season for maintenance work at the airport, he said. Stahoviak stressed YVRA’s unique situation. “No other departments have come to us and shown that they have had a problem meeting any regulatory and health and safety issues — that department is very different in that it has some specific requirements to fulfill,” she said about the airport. “Our other departments when employees are on the furlough, or don’t work as many hours a week, it’s not a matter of safety — it’s maybe a matter of inconvenience.” Stahoviak said Routt County Sheriff Gary Wall has not implemented furloughs for his staff, who are working regular hours but getting paid less. “The Sheriff ’s Office is not under the furlough plan, so (Wall) couldn’t really show us there was a safety issue, because his employees have been working their regular hours,” she said. Regarding the Building Department’s electrical inspector, commissioners simply returned that position to a full-time 40 hours a week, rather than a part-time 32 hours a week. Mitsch Bush said that, because the department is self-funded, a full-time electrical inspector makes sense for customer service in the valley. “It’s important for businesspeople and contractors to get inspections in a timely fashion,” Mitsch Bush said. “If the local construction scene is improving, we don’t want to stand in the way of that.” So far, in our view, the commissioners are ably walking the tightrope of balancing budget cuts while providing necessary services.

FOR THE PILOT & TODAY

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR We’ll miss you, Greg I was just informed that Greg Scott passed away a few days ago. Sadly, his passing leaves a void in the Yampa Valley that may never be filled. Greg was my friend for more than 30 years, through my tenure in Steamboat and after I moved to Maui. One of my happiest memories of Greg was during one of his visits to Maui. I arranged for a little golf outing on the Makena Course in south Maui. Our foursome included Willie Nelson, who has become a friend of ours here on Maui. Our kids grew up playing together and the Nelsons, when here, live very close by. If only you could have seen the smile on Greg’s face as we played that day. Greg was a good golfer and easily pocketed the money wagered on the round. Later that same day, we visited with Willie at his home where he was working on the lyrics to a new song. He and Greg actually jammed together for a spell. Once again, you should have seen the smile on Greg’s face. Greg was as much a part of the Yampa Valley as the More Barn, the Werners and Storm Peak. He wrote and sang about his love and passion for this beautiful place. He shared that passion with thousands of visitors and locals, and sadly, I don’t think he can ever be replaced. We’ll miss you, Greg.

Health care rebuttal Alas, we don’t need more opinions unsupported by facts. Health care reform is a difficult enough problem without fanning the flames with unsubstantiated comments as Mr. McConnell (July 12: The Suicide Option) did when he launched into typical G-No-P rhetoric. To wit: “The public health care option will be one more nail of freemarket capitalism.” Perhaps Mr. McConnell believes Medicare was such a nail? In fact, Medicare was a boon for free market capitalism. Look how many insurers jumped in with Medicare alternative plans and supplemental plans. I, for one, welcome a public option because the insurers have com-

pletely screwed America regarding health care. Have you noticed the only thing working in health care is the profits of the insurers and salaries of their CEOs? He goes on: “The political left believes companies should run without profits.” I ran a small business for years, and I sure appreciated what profits we had. So did all the other business people I knew. All the people I know with investments appreciate it when their holdings declare profits; some of them are Democrats. One more time: who exactly is it that doesn’t like profits? “The free market system that features competitive marketplaces and the profit motive is largely responsible for America’s very high standard of living.” Sounds good. Might even be accurate in a number of cases. However, free markets among medical insurers have been a substantial contributor to the health care problems we are trying to solve. Think about Medicare Part D, where competition is banned. Or think about insurers denying coverage for pre-existing conditions. Health care cannot be run solely for profit. Experience during the past 30 years has proven that doesn’t work. “… Far greater in magnitude are the billons of dollars of fraud and abuse now rampant in Medicare and Medicaid.” There is some merit to this comment. The only problem is, one needs to explore where the fraud and abuse comes from. Let’s see: We have criminals, scammers, dishonest doctors (no denigration intended to the many, many honest ones), insurers with 30 percent and higher administrative costs; CEOs with $150 million salaries; the list is long. What is not clear is how Mr. McConnell supposes a public health option automatically makes this worse. It seems to me a little competition might help the insurers to improve service. Then we read: “Private health care companies fight fraud and abuse while the government tolerates the waste.” Say again? Who files legal claims against those committing Medicare, Medicaid and welfare fraud? Can he cite examples that private companies are doing the fighting? The doctors I have talked to do not appreciate the private insurers challenging every decision they make. Nor have I heard of anyone denied coverage of a medical

procedure thanking the insurer for fighting fraud and abuse. Does he suppose people thank their insurer for denying coverage for a pre-existing condition? Perhaps Mr. McConnell meant there is insufficient prosecution of fraud and abuse; that we can all agree on. Finally he gets to: “equal universal health care is not an entitlement.” It is true that many Republicans would prefer to turn their back on those less fortunate, rather than to build a stronger support system. This, despite the fact all developed nations except ours do try to extend their medical safety net to all citizens. But then again, why can’t all those 47 million uninsured just keep going to emergency rooms for a flu shot? As if the public isn’t paying for that.

Store trash indoors After reading about the bear shot in downtown Steamboat, I could only think of one thing. Why are some residents storing their trash outside? This tragedy could have been so easily avoided if folks would keep food sources such as trash, birdseed and pet food locked away indoors with trash going out the morning of pickup. This is standard procedure in the mountains and law in some towns. I hope you find your renegade bear-killer, but in the meantime, by simple common sense changes in our own behavior, we can keep the bears in the Colorado mountains wild ... and alive.

Bear killing awful Who in their right mind would kill an innocent bear looking for food in an alley in downtown Steamboat? I am so angry about this. I hope that the authorities find whoever did it and he is charged in court. Then he should be sentenced to the same jail time, fine and community service given to Michael Vick.

I was heartened to read John Salazar’s commentary concerning health care in last week’s Pilot & Today. If Mr. Salazar means what he says about the problems, we can solve them well short of the essential nationalization of the industry under the current House bill. First, let’s dispense with the rhetoric that “the system is broken.” By all objective measures, the American health care system, in terms of treatment, is the envy of the world. The problem is that we have not figured out how to pay for it. The economic truth is, if you are going to own a Mercedes, it is going to be expensive. The proposed legislation will address this issue in two ways: 1) ration care, and 2) make someone else pay for it. To illustrate rationing, there are four times as many MRI units in the U.S. per capita as there are in the government-run systems of Canada or Great Britain. And in Great Britain, you will not receive treatment for macular degeneration until you have gone blind in one eye. On the payment front, the House bill would impose an additional payroll tax (over and above the existing 15 percent payroll tax) of 8 percent on employers who do not provide health insurance coverage — not exactly a prescription to bring down the current high rate of unemployment. Over and above this, there will be a payroll tax of 2.5 percent on individuals that do not have health insurance. This is not the kind of hope or change that I am interested in. But Mr. Salazar’s main complaints concern pre-existing condition exclusions and the prospect of losing insurance when leaving a job. This, we can fix. The insurance industry has been regulated for many decades at the state level, so regulation is not new. However, like many regulatory agencies, these have fallen too much under the influence of the regulated industry. Here is where we can help right the ship. The essential elements are: ■ Uniform pricing for products: IBM, my law firm and individuals pay the same price for the same product from the same company, and the same products are available to all. Insurers compete on price. ■ Greater transparency: Be sure people understand what it is they are buying. ■ Modify pre-existing condition exclusions: These can’t really be eliminated or too many will not buy insurance until they are sick, but allow someone to buy coverage that is the same as what they have had during the prior six months. ■ Uniform financial reporting for insurance companies, like the SEC requires for mutual funds: If there is some untoward conduct, we will see it.

VIEWPOINTS

Mr. Lewis … you are correct in that the CAYV has never publicly stated that they are an advocate of no-growth. However, when the leader of the CAYV has the opportunity to speak freely outside the controlled confines of well-rehearsed and scripted speech that takes place within the Yampa Valley — the truth is finally told. … Please explain to us how on your Web site and in public forums your organization states, “The Community Alliance has a long history of working on growth issues.” … Yet, in the sixth sentence of his lecture in the friendly confines of Iowa State University only 3 months ago, (Steve) Aigner states, “The organization for which I now organize, the Community Alliance of the Yampa Valley, has fought growth forever.” I’m sorry, but I’m just presenting quotes here. Not opinions. — John Barrett

Years of work The complaining posters above prefer to take Steve Aigner’s statement bragging to the Iowa audience as fact, and to take the years of statements by dozens of Community Alliance members at local meetings in Steamboat as lies and deceit. Reality is what you choose it to be. — Steve Lewis

Cowboy Bob’s story It’s comforting knowing that Bob had a family somewhere. Sometimes people just don’t want to be found, and you shouldn’t condemn them for their choices. His memorial last night was nice, and it was great to see so many people there. I especially liked the sign that read “Happy Trails Cowboy Bob.” It’s nice to know his story, and I’m so

Take time with 700 I have not been a proponent

of the 700 annexation going to ballot. But neither am I a supporter of the Pilot viewpoint (last Sunday), that this City Council needs to push for an October vote because they are “uniquely prepared.” Yes, this council is familiarized and prepared on this annexation — but they can only decide when the big questions are resolved. It’s far more desirable to get the answers right, regardless of the time frame. In my opinion, the Pilot has its priorities reversed. — Steve Lewis

Community Alliance has been community watchdog Several years ago, I attended a forum on growth that the Community Alliance of the Yampa Valley sponsored. It was a two-night event, with a panel of experts from all across the state. I was so impressed, I joined CAYV that night. It wasn’t long after I found myself on the board of directors, and I am proud to represent the Community Alliance. Our mission is to help preserve the natural environment, enhance the quality of life,

great voice of the community. Vision 2030’s report is another document that represents our community and what we are hoping the future can be. The Community Alliance has been the watchdog for the whole community. We were there to fight for the preservation of the Urban Growth Boundaries, making sure the City Council did not let developers off the hook for an estimated $4.6 million in use tax they owed, preserving the semblance of an affordable housing policy, supporting a water dedication policy, pushing for smart growth and urging for a public vote on

annexations. We need at least one organization to ask, “What is going on?” Or, “What’s the rush?” We need an organization to take the risk and ask the powerful to answer questions. And we need someone standing in front of City Council just to represent our community. This work could not be done without an organizer. We are very fortunate to have Steve Aigner on board our ship.

We can address health care issues without extreme bill Akin continued from 4A ■ Eliminate governmentmandated coverage: Let the consumer pick what they want. You surely have seen the Progressive commercial saying “name your price for car insurance, and we will design a policy to fit.” Why not health insurance? ■ Encourage Health Savings Accounts: Let the free market work.

■ Tort Reform: Control costs. Finally, let’s tell the truth about the number of uninsured. Of the 45 million Salazar cites, few are chronically uninsured — the majority are just between jobs, 5 million to 12 million are illegal immigrants, 3.6 million to 9 million are on Medicaid, 3.5 million to 4.5 million already are eligible for government health programs but

not enrolled, and 20.4 million have, or live, in families with incomes greater than twice the federal poverty level. So, Mr. Salazar, we can address the issues you cite without the extreme and illadvised legislation that you appear to support. If you are serious about your concerns, I will be the first in line to help fix the problem. Call me. I am easy to find, and I will be sure to let the

COLORADO

DENVER

Solar panels used to power homes in Colorado are emissions-free and having access to traditional fossil-fuel generated backup electrical power also is free, for now. Xcel Energy is seeking to change that by proposing a rate increase for solar customers that the state’s largest power supplier said pays for providing electricity in case those homes need it. Xcel is proposing a 2.6 cents per kilowatt hour fee based on the generating capacity of a home’s solar panels. The pro-

posed fee would be along with actual electricity used and a $7 to $8 service fee now charged to cover meter reading and billing. Current solar customers would be exempt. The Public Utilities Commission will hold a hearing on Xcel’s proposed fee on Aug. 5. Members of the solar panel industry oppose the fee, saying homeowners installing solar panels allow Xcel to add carbonfree energy while using existing infrastructure, saving the company money on construction and transmission lines. They said installing panels also helps Xcel meet a state man-

date that the company generate 20 percent of its power from renewable sources by 2020. “It’s going to have a tremendously negative effect on the solar industry in Colorado if Xcel’s proposal is approved,” Blake Jones, president of Namaste Solar in Boulder told the Daily Camera. “Solar-system owners are actually providing a benefit to the utility, to the grid and to other rate payers.” Solar customers are netmetered, which means they receive credit for excess electricty produced by the solar panels that flows into Xcel’s power grid. Jones said Xcel could become

the first utility to charge netmetered solar customers a fee for having access to electricity in the grid. “This is something that’s not happening anywhere in the country,” Jones said. “This is not a good thing. This is not part of the vision we have for Colorado’s new energy economy.” Xcel spokesman Tom Henley defended the proposed hike. “We have to build the system so the customer can use as much energy as they want,” Xcel spokesman Tom Henley said. “Right now, solar customers have this backup to the grid for free.”

Bayer: Goal is to blend the expansion with existing church Holy Name continued from 1A

��

�� 20496304

��

Planning process Holy Name submitted a pre-application for the project last spring, said Bob Keenan, a Steamboat Springs senior planner. Public hearings before the Steamboat Springs Historic Preservation Commission, Planning Commission and City Council were held last summer and fall. Keenan said the church’s final development plan was submitted in December. Comments from the city’s Technical Advisory Committee’s review of the proposal were sent to Holy Name’s architect in May. Keenan said after the city receives a response from Greenwood Village-based Eidos Architects, public hearings for the proposal would be scheduled. He said they could occur as early as September or October. A part of the plan that could come up during the public hearings is the church’s desire to move three historic buildings, including the Good Shepherd House occupied by the Pregnancy Resource Center, located west of the existing church.

“Our community area plan encourages historic preservation,” Keenan said. “There are guidelines to historic preservation and incentives to do so, but no regulations that prohibit (removing historic buildings) at this time.” Bayer said Holy Name considered including the three buildings as part of the expansion but chose not to create an alternative design. “We’re putting up a church to accommodate our 100-yearold family,” he said about the church that started 102 years ago. “We feel the value of the parish family supercedes the value of any one building on the property.” Bayer said there has been some interest from individuals who would like to move the buildings to their property,

but he’s willing to listen to others. He said the preference would be for the buildings to be moved to different locations in Old Town. If that wasn’t possible, Bayer said, he would like the buildings to remain somewhere in Steamboat. Holy Name hopes to complete its fundraising effort by next spring so the expansion could break ground in June 2010, Bayer said. He said there is no time frame for the second and third phases of the project, which will cost a combined $5 million and add more offices; finish the basement as a community resource for weddings, meetings and other events; expand the preschool; and convert the current offices to a youth center for the church’s middle

school and high school ministries. Bayer said the church’s first priority is expansion. He said the rest is for the future, for growth down the road. Bayer said Holy Name has an idea where it’s going, but it’s not there yet. The FUNraiser kicks off at 2 p.m. Aug. 9. A short mass will be held at 4:30 p.m. with dinner, the silent and live auctions to follow, Bayer said. He said those who can’t attend but would like to submit a sealed bid for any of the auction items can do so by calling the church.

NATION President cites new White House study about health care Tom Raum

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

President Barack Obama, citing a new White House study suggesting that small businesses pay far more per employee for health insurance than big companies, said Saturday the disparity is “unsustainable — it’s unacceptable.” “And it’s going to change when I sign health insurance reform into law,” the president said in his weekly Internet and radio address. A new study by the White House Council of Economic Advisers said small businesses

pay as much as 18 percent more to provide health insurance for their employees. As a result, fewer of them do so and the number has been Obama shrinking further in these hard economic times. It was released Saturday as part of the administration’s aggressive campaign to build public and congressional support for Obama’s health care efforts Obama had called for Congress to vote on health legislation by the August recess, but when it became clear this week

lawmakers would miss that deadline, he said he expects a bill by year-end. Separately, congressional budget scorekeepers say one highly touted idea for saving money from Medicare to finance a health overhaul would only yield modest savings. In a setback for Obama, the Congressional Budget Office says that creating a powerful commission to recommend Medicare cuts would produce only about $2 billion in savings in 10 years. Cuts the commission agreed on would go into effect unless Congress overrides them.

Palin faces questions on exit Matthew Daly

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANCHORAGE, ALASKA

Gov. Sarah Palin gained fame — and to some infamy — since she embarked on a vice-presidential bid less than a year ago. Her surprising departure from Alaska’s top office is gaining her something else: questions about her motives and next big move. She leaves office Sunday with her political future clouded by ethics probes, mounting legal bills and dwindling popularity. A new

Washington PostABC poll puts her favorability rating at 40 percent, with 53 percent giving her an unfavorable rating. The Republican Palin governor faces an array of queries about why she is quitting more than year before her term ends and what she plans to do after she steps down. Palin has said little about any major moves but has hinted that she has a bigger role in mind. She

is scheduled to speak Aug. 8 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California and has said she plans to write a book, campaign for political candidates from coast to coast and build a right-of-center coalition. Palin plans to continue speaking her mind on Twitter. “Ain’t gonna shut my mouth / I know there’s got to be a few hundred million more like me / just trying to keep it free,” Palin said in a recent Tweet, quoting the song “Rollin’,” by the country duo Big & Rich.

Race a daunting challenge for Obama Charles Babington

NEWS ANALYSIS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

President Barack Obama’s summary of the furor about a black Harvard professor’s arrest was so understated, and perhaps obvious, that it barely rose above the cable-news driven din. “Race is still a troubling aspect of our society,” the nation’s first black president said Friday, as he tried to tamp down a controversy he had helped fuel two days earlier. Without doubt. What’s less clear, however, is whether Obama’s history-making election is triggering changes in the day-to-day racial inter-

actions of ordinary Americans. After all, if one of the country’s most prominent black scholars can be arrested in his home after a heated exchange with a white police officer, doesn’t that suggest Obama’s racial breakthroughs apply more to the political world than to the broader society? No, say a variety of people who welcomed his plunge into the controversy, even if it caused the president a little heartburn. He is uniquely positioned, they say, to pour light on one troubling issue — racial profiling by police — and to nudge the nation to talk more

openly about race in general, if only for a short while, as he did with a widely followed speech in March 2008. “Obama’s election gives us someone in a position of authority to speak personally to this experience,” said James Lai, director of the Ethnic Studies program at Santa Clara University in California. Questions about whether police officers disproportionately stop minorities for questioning and frisking “will get a much more thorough debate now,” he said. But Obama “has to walk a very fine line” when discussing race, Lai said. “He must be careful not to fall into the box of being the black candidate.”

A team captains’ meeting is Wednesday Relay continued from 1A nine children and many unfulfilled plans, including dreams of retirement with his wife. He died at the age of 50. “They had reached a point in their lives where almost all of us were grown, and they would have the opportunity to have time to spend together,” McIntosh said about her parents. “He could have retired in eight years, and they had all sorts of travel plans to visit the kids and stuff like that, and it was taken from them.” McIntosh said that in her volunteer work, she uses the values her parents instilled in her and her siblings. Her mother “walked the neighborhoods to collect for the cancer societies and the March

of Dimes,” McIntosh said. McIntosh again was close to cancer three years ago, when her friend’s sister, Bea Reyes, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Reyes died in March 2008. While she was fighting the cancer, McIntosh and her friend, Stella Peroulis, decided that joining Relay For Life was a way to show their support. That year, they joined a team, and each year McIntosh has increased her participation. Last year, she ran the store before co-chair Linda Jackson asked her to join the committee. “She’s such an amazing energy gal, and she has a lot of experience in organization,” Jackson said. Jackson, who has worked with Relay For Life for five years and also was last

year’s co-chair, said she will step down after this year, leaving McIntosh in charge. “We both come from that real strong Southern faith background, an “if you say you’ll do it, you’ll do it” background,” Jackson said. Jackson said fundraising is going well this year, but because Steamboat is a “last-minute town,” it’s hard to gauge the progress. Organizers will have an update on fundraising progress at a team captains’ meeting scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at Concordia Lutheran Church. In 2008, Steamboat was honored as the highest per-capita giving site in the country. — To reach Zach Fridell, call 871-4208 or e-mail zfridell@steamboatpilot.com

China economy growing again while US is limping THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

The United States, the world’s largest economy, remains mired in recession as do most of its fellow top industrial powers. China, poised to pass Japan as the world’s second-largest economy perhaps by late this year, recently announced its Gross Domestic Product grew by more than 7.1 percent in the first half of this year. That puts it alone among the top 10 world powers whose economy has expanded in recent months, making it the first major country to emerge from the worst global slump since the 1930s. Many analysts suggest that China could help to lead the rest of the world out of the doldrums. For China’s part, it hopes the U.S. and other Western countries also will recover and revive their now-depressed demand for Chinese goods, further buoying the Chinese economy. U.S. officials, however, suggest that, with recession-shocked American consumers spending less and saving more, those glory days for Chinese exporters will not return anytime soon.

Dale Neumann, 47, is a “fullGospel Christian,” who did not know his 11-year-old daughter had diabetes, his defense attorney said. There’s also not “a shred of evidence” Neumann knew his prayers would fail to help his daughter or cause her death, the lawyer said.

How the other half lives

Big boxes increasing in mountain towns Silverthorne has a Target, and Eagle County has a Home Depot. Now, both of the mountain communities within 100 miles of Steamboat Springs are on track to get the national retailer they are missing. Steamboat residents traveling to Denver for sports and cultural events already drive by a Target and a slew of factory outlet stores in Silverthorne. Caitlin Rowe of the Summit Daily News reports that the Silverthorne Town Council is considering a permit for a 100,000square-foot Home Depot south of Interstate 70 near the outlet stores at the base of Dillon Dam. Edward Stoner, of the Vail Daily, reports that government leaders and residents in the town of Eagle are weighing a proposal to make a Target store the anchor in the $346 million Eagle River Station being planned for a pasture east of town. Eagle River is proposing more than 550,000 square feet of retail, 581 homes and a hotel on 88 acres. The project would require a new highway interchange on I-70. Proponents say it would raise much-needed sales tax revenues; detractors of the plan say it would undermine the small-town character that residents value.

The Catamount home in the Parade of Homes was carefully planned by builder Mark Folkestad to incorporate the feel of a Western homestead house that has been added onto several times. The detail goes right down to different colors of window trim on the wings of the home.

Tread of Pioneers Museum Director Candice Lombardo said her organization used one of the grants to help it digitize and store interviews with historic figures from 300 audio cassette tapes made by local high school students working for Three Wire Winter magazine.

Mansfield and Wayne Light. In its first two years, the Parade of Homes typically did not feature homes listed for sale. That’s not the case this year, but the emphasis remains not on actively marketing the homes, but on opening the homes up to the public to serve local causes, See Tours, page 2B

Howelsen Place to reposition deed-restricted condos Tom Ross

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

A 5-2 vote by the Steamboat Springs City Council on Tuesday changed the rules for selling the affordable condominiums in Howelsen Place, but no one knows what the new rules are. Council voted in favor of allowing Howelsen Place developer Green Courte Partners to sell six remaining one-bedroom

condos formerly reserved for qualified buyers under incomebased deed restrictions to market-rate buyers. In exchange, Green Courte has agreed to make cash payments to the city’s affordable housing fund at the closing of each unit. A seventh unit sold under the previous deed restrictions is occupied by a longtime Steamboat resident. The big unknown is how much fee in lieu the city will receive.

City Planning Director Tom Leeson said Thursday that the new fee will be the prevailing fee at closing, presumably the amount council approves during a scheduled Aug. 4 vote on revisions to the city’s community housing ordinance. Green Courte’s Mark Scully told council this week that his organization would be happy to sell the units under affordability guidelines but no one is interested in them with those

terms attached. “You need to know that no one wants these units,” Scully said. “You wouldn’t advise a friend to buy them (under deed restrictions) with an annual appreciation cap of 3 percent. You can’t finance it, and you can’t sell it.” The affordable housing units represent an anomaly in Steamboat Springs’ overall community housing picture. They preceded the city’s inclusion-

ary zoning ordinance, which required developers to build affordable units. Instead, they were offered as a community benefit by the developers to win city approval for building height and parking variances. The variances allowed Howelsen Place to build a fourth floor and consequently additional marketrate units. Council members Meg BenSee Howelsen, page 2B

tley and Steve Ivancie voted against granting Green Courte permission to sell the units, which are 625 to 800 square feet, at market rates. “I will not be supporting this,” Bentley told her colleagues. “It will not be commensurate with the (previous) community benefit.” Scully said pending the amount of the fee in lieu, he anticipates selling the units for $300,000 to $400,000. “I’d submit there’s a public benefit to that,” Scully said. The six units in question vary from one another in layout and minor features — three have concrete patios, three do not; some have kitchen bars, others are laid out to accommodate small dining tables. All have a single bathroom situated off the bedroom. Stacked washers and dryers are in a closet next to the refrigerator. They have 9- and 10-foot ceilings.

Peter said. “This event was started with the sole purpose of allowing the public to get a chance to see very special homes, which they would no usually be able to see while raising money for the

charity,” she said. Dave Hartley, a broker/owner at Colorado Group, said the only visible evidence of marketing materials at the home at 32545 McKinnis Creek Road will be the “for sale” sign out front. The owner of the home may

not be present Aug. 1, but he may be keeping an eye on the tour anyway. Hartley said the property was designed as a second home and includes a Total Control Access system by Control 4 that includes discreetly placed video cameras. They allow the owner, in Chicago,

for example, to order grocery deliveries and then watch on a computer screen as the delivery person shows up. When he or she arrives in the driveway, the homeowner can remotely open the garage door, watch the delivery person put things away in the pantry and the close the garage door. Colorado Group broker/ owner Kris McGee, who lives in the home at 39745 Deerfoot Ave. perched above downtown Steamboat, will give Parade of Homes visitors a view of the valley they’ve never seen before. “The view is over the Charles Atwood Ranch and across Perry Mansfield to Buffalo Pass,” McGee said. “You can’t see it unless you come up here.” — To reach Tom Ross, call 871-4205 or e-mail tross@steamboatpilot.com

For some, tiny houses are just the right size Steve Campbell

MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS

FORT WORTH, TEXAS

They had the land and the plan ready for a 3,000-squarefoot retirement home. But sticker shock and a sour economy spurred Lee and Donna McCollough to downsize their dream into a 336square-foot “country cabin.” “It was mostly an economic move. But it’s serving our lifestyle very well,” said Lee McCollough about their home near Schulenburg in South Texas. Built from vintage salvage materials by Tiny Texas Houses of Luling, McCollough said the “turnkey package” cost $70,000. “It’s great,” said the 62-yearold retired electrical technician. “People are impressed with the construction and coziness of it. It’s built like an Igloo ice chest.” Tiny home proponents call it “super downsizing,” but that’s just the extreme edge of a growing movement away from suburban castles and into “rightsized” homes that require less energy, upkeep and money, experts say. “The era of the ‘McMansion’ could well be over as home sizes have been trending downward recently, with a significantly higher number of architects reporting demand for smaller homes this year,” Kermit Baker, chief economist for the American Institute of Architects, said in a news release. In a June survey by the National Association of Home Builders, 59 percent of respondents said they are building smaller homes, said Stephen Melman, the group’s director of economic services. As the economy sank in 2008, new homes started shrinking, Melman said. Census data showed the average new home declined from 2,600 square feet in the second quarter of 2008 to 2,373 square feet in the third quarter, he said. “This isn’t the worst thing in the world,” Melman said. “People are buying the home they need. ... Energy costs are up and people are interested in cutting costs.” Brad Kittel of Tiny Texas Houses is addressing those needs. In 2006, he started the company to use materials from his salvage business. Using wood from old homes and barns, he built a 160-square-foot cottage to make a point. “I wanted people to understand that salvage antiques aren’t just for decoration. Once I built the first one, everybody liked it. It got a better response than I thought it would,” said Kittel, 53. “I figured a 12-by-20-foot would be the biggest when I started, and now we are all the way up to a 12-by-33,” he said. “That might be too big.” One couple is considering a frontier-style “dog trot” cabin that combines two small boxes with an open breezeway under a shared roof, he said. Kittel’s homes, which are built in Luling and trucked to home sites, drew initial interest as artists studios and weekend retreats. Now, the economy has people viewing them as full-time dwellings. Kittel has built about 30 of the petite abodes, and six more are in the works. They range in price from $38,000 to $90,000. Kay Love was the first to call one home. Love, 62, who owns a cattle company, has a 1,300-squarefoot home in Austwell, Texas, but she wanted a second place near her family in Stockdale. Now she lives half the time in a 300-square-foot “Victorianish” home. “I planned to build a big house and then decided I didn’t need a big house,” she said. “I am real happy with it. I’m not environmentally correct, it just works for me. I had lived on a boat, so small things don’t really bother me. The house is comfortable; it sits in a pasture on the top of a hill with a nice view. It just fits.” Kittel’s not the only builder squeezing into this tiny niche. Jay Shafer, who has lived in

a 100-square-foot home since 1999, has become a Pied Piper of the micro movement. Four years ago, the 44-yearold former art teacher and health food store clerk started Tumbleweed Tiny House Co. in Graton, Calif., which sells plans for small homes and builds tiny portable ones on wheels. He’s written The Small House Book and teaches courses on building small. Interest in his homes is driven in equal measure by the economy and the environment, Shafer said. His home plans start at $995, and the houses on wheels run from $35,000 to $60,000. For such Spartan spaces, those prices sound steep but Shafer says building small is akin to “tailoring a suit.” Kittel says it’s like “boat building considering the time and effort it takes.” The small houses take four to six months to build, he said. “It’s more labor-intensive because you are not using a 4-by-8-foot sheet of Sheetrock to cover the wall. Our cabinets are built into the house the old-fashioned way.” And it’s not just small operators tapping into downsizing. Lowe’s, the big-box home improvement retailer, sells kits and plans for Katrina Cottages, first designed as alternatives to the Federal Emergency

Management Administration’s trailers. “The program continues to draw interest from a variety of customers across the United States,” spokeswoman Maureen Rich wrote in an e-mail. Minuscule homes aren’t for the material minded. “A guy came in and was talking about downsizing and he said what I’m doing is super downsizing,” Kittel said. “And admittedly, for most people it is that. If you are coming out of a conventional lifestyle with a 2,000-square-foot house and two people and you are moving into one of my houses, you are super downsizing.” Shafer says getting rid of possessions takes an adjustment. “You look at what makes you happy and get rid of everything else,” he said. Besides, all that stuff is just an encumbrance, he says. “Living in a small house, I’m a lot more free to do what I want to do,” Shafer said. “Some people live in a very large debtor’s prison.” Melman, of the home builders association, thinks downsizing is here to stay. “There’s a huge baby boom bulge coming out, and most of them are going to be empty nesters. They don’t need five bedrooms, they need two bedrooms,” he said. The economy, energy prices

and demographics are changing conceptions about housing, he said. “It’s becoming more of what you need. People are seriously considering a better fit.” That’s what Cheri and Scott Carpenter, of Fort Worth, are doing. They have one child and live in a 2,700-square-foot home but think that a house one-third

smaller would simplify their life. “We talked about it and decided we had too much house. We like to take vacations and we would like to have less maintenance,” said Cheri, 40, a literacy coach for the Fort Worth school district. For now, they’re just hunting.

“I’m picky,” she said. The McColloughs have moved in, but they still own a home in Dickinson so there’s some “super downsizing” to come. They do have a built-in fudge factor — a barn that serves as Lee’s shop and “man cave.” He admits that consolidating will be challenging.

Race reaches record 145 competitors flock to Spring Creek Memorial

Bill Meyers leads race against time

ill Meyers is fast, and he isn’t about to let his age slow him down. Just ask the other riders in the 70 to 74 age division at the U.S. Masters National Road Championship, which was held in Louisville, Ky., on June 28 to July 4. Meyers won the time trial with a time of 28 minutes, 59.40 seconds. He beat national and world champion Franz Hammer, of Seattle, to the finish line and collected the national title. Meyers also was second in the circuit and third in the road race against a field of other top riders ages 70 to 74. But Bill Meyers is more than fast. The Oak Creek resident also is setting an example for a new generation of seniors. Seniors who have cast aside the expectations of past generations, seniors who prove they still can pursue a lifelong love of sports — whether that’s on a bike, playing tennis or running. At 72 years old, the youthful Meyers has spent most of his “golden years” on the back of a bike, proving to us all that age doesn’t really matter in the world of competitive cycling or in our ability to stay active. Sure, he never will beat Lance Armstrong to the top of a mountain pass in France, but I think he’s probably OK with that. He’s found a place where he still can race against his peers and a place where he still can spin his competitive wheels. His age defines which class he will race in, but it doesn’t define his ability or what he can accomplish. He’s a regular at the national road championships and already is planning to attend the Huntsman World Senior Games in October in Utah — an event he has been going to for years. On the weekends, he can be found riding back roads and thoroughfares all across Colorado in regional races. He’s entered eight this summer, and he’s won his age class in all of them. He jokes that the number of riders in his age bracket keeps getting smaller, but he’s in better shape than most folks half his age. Meyers rides his bike six days a week, two hours each day. When he’s not racing, he’s a regular in local group rides over Rabbit Ears Pass or rides in the Yampa Valley where he took part in last weekend’s Tour de Steamboat. In the winter, he likes to ski — Nordic and Alpine — and he’s no stranger to a pair of snowshoes. Bill doesn’t like to spend time in gyms, he doesn’t like to ride a stationary bike to stay in shape, and you will not find him lifting weights in the winter. He says he prefers to get outside. There are some days when he would rather not jump on the back of his bike and go for a long ride. But he says he usually does, and he always feels better when he gets done. It’s true that Bill Meyers will have to slow down someday and that age eventually will catch up with him. But until then, you can expect to find him on his bike making a race out of growing old.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The Steamboat Springs Running Series welcomed a record number of competitors to a race for the third time this summer, with 145 competitors swamping Saturday morning’s Spring Creek Memorial run. They came from Steamboat and Denver, Boulder, Kremmling and Philadelphia, and they all agreed on one thing:

that was one tough trail, particularly an off-road section that had racers scampering up a steep, forested slope. “I walked probably half of that part,” women’s 9-mile champion Sarah Pizzo said. “It was almost faster to walk there than run.” The bane of those who ran the 9-mile course, the longer of the two available races, was a stretch of trail through private land. While 5-kilometer racers went out and back on

the well-traveled Spring Creek trail, 9-milers cut away from the course and up through a pine and aspen forest. The section of trail, possibly one of the original stagecoach routes into Steamboat Springs, was cleared only a few days before the race, and logs, branches and weeds had yet to fully relinquish the terrain. The trail cut up, rising steeply toward the Buffalo Pass road.

he hard part wasn’t putting a smile on C.J. Burger’s face. No, the hard part came early Saturday morning at the Steamboat Tennis Association Championships when C.J. finished his match, walked into the Tennis Center at Steamboat Springs and had to pick which family member to watch. Not an easy proposition when including C.J. and his wife, Darby, all eight members of the Burger family were playing in the tournament. “It’s great to not have to run people around, but it’s also great to have all your kids playing a sport you love,” C.J. said. “It’s amazing. Darby and I were talking about it (Friday) and you look at

Six of your kids enjoy the sport you enjoy so much.’” All ages and abilities were on display with the Burger family, including 19year-old Brian, 16-year-olds Jack and Keegan, 9-year-olds Tatum and Shae and 8-year-old Teague. At one point Saturday, Darby, Jack, Keegan and Tatum were playing simultaneously on courts next to or near one another. “It’s the first tournament we’ve

done with everybody playing,” Jack said. “Now that my younger siblings are old enough to play. It’s a lot of fun.” But it’s nothing new for the Burger family. About as active as a family can get, other group activities include skiing, water skiing and wake boarding. “We just added a new one,” Darby said about tennis. “It’s nice because everybody can do it.” Although each child couldn’t remember exactly how they got into the game, they all could recall that it’s been a part of the family since they can remember.

Rockies move ahead in wild-card race Tulowitzki drives in 5 against Giants Arnie Stapleton

San Francisco Giants second baseman Matt Downs tags out Colorado Rockies center fielder Dexter Fowler at Coors Field in Denver on Friday. The Rockies won Saturday’s game, 8-2, to move ahead of the Giants in the National League wild-card race.

Troy Tulowitzki homered and drove in a careerhigh five runs, and Jorge De La Rosa won his career-best sixth straight start, leading the Colorado Rockies’ 8-2 rout of the San Francisco Giants on Saturday night. The Rockies also moved a game ahead of the Giants in the National League wild-card race. De La Rosa (8-7) allowed one run on seven hits in 7 1/3 innings

with no walks and seven strikeouts. He retired the first 11 batters he faced, six by strikeout, before Pablo Sandoval stroked a double into right field with two outs in the fourth. Jonathan Sanchez (3-9) matched De La Rosa inning for hitless inning until Todd Helton led off the fourth with a line-drive single to right for Colorado’s first hit. One night earlier, Matt Cain had held the Rockies without a hit until Ian Stewart’s single with two outs in the fifth. See Rockies, page 3C

Alberto Contador is basking in double satisfaction: the Tour de France victory is an easy ride away, and he’s pulled it off in spite of his own team — and Lance Armstrong. The 26-year-old Spaniard all but secured a second victory in cycling’s main event Saturday, by fending off challengers in the race climax on Contador one of France’s toughest climbs: Mont Ventoux. Armstrong, the seven-time champion, will be on podium for an eighth time, but he’s third — not on the step Armstrong he had aimed for. When he sees Contador in the yellow jersey on the ChampsElysees, Armstrong — after notso-subtle verbal jabs against the Spaniard during the three-week race — could very well be green. In the heat of the race, Contador had sought to play down the differences in their Kazakh Astana team, dodging or downplaying questions about “tension” that Armstrong evoked. With victory nearly certain, the Spaniard opened up a bit. “My conscience is very clear because in the end, I have run two races — one on the bike and one at the team hotel,” he said on Spanish broadcaster TVE after Saturday’s ride. Contador knew his task at the Tour would be tricky when the Texan announced last year he was coming back from retirement to join his old mentor, Johan Bruyneel, at the Astana team. The Belgian strategist had been training Contador as his new cycling star. Once the Tour was on, and Armstrong’s barbs flew, Contador counted the days and tried to focus on his racing — not on the Texan and tensions at the team dinner table. “Every day, I told myself: ‘One day less,’” he said at a news conference after Saturday’s stage. “Now, it’s all settled. Everything is better, and the situation is back to normal.”

The loose footing and challenging grade of the section defined the trail, racers said, but it didn’t define the race. Smullin, a cross-country skiing coach for the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club, led the large field through that challenging section and maintained his advantage as he reached the course’s summit, at the top of the Spring Creek trail near the Buff Pass road. Paquito Lopez — hot on his heels on the climb — and Luke Crespin blew past him on the descent, however. “I need to work on my downhill running. The same thing happened at the Howelsen race, too,” Smullin said. “There’s some finesse to downhill running, which I guess I don’t have.” Lopez went on to win the race, finishing in 1 hour, 5 minutes and 40 seconds. Crespin was second at 1:05:47 and Smullin third at 1:06:55. “It’s beautiful, was a great course,” said Lopez, who raced in the Running Series for the first time this season after finishing second in his only race, the Howelsen Hill 8-Miler, last year. “I’m from Denver, so it’s nice to get to know a new area of Steamboat. It was a great trail.” Pizzo, the first woman through the forested section,

Judging by pre-game warmups, Steamboat Springs 9- and 10-year-old Little League AllStar coach Craig Pasternak figured it could be a long day. But playing Cherry Creek in the opening game of the state tournament, any initial jitters turned around pretty quickly. On the strength of Channing Conner’s arm and some timely hitting, Steamboat outlasted Cherry Creek, 4-1, on Saturday in Denver. “It was just an all-out effort,” Pasternak said. “The first warmup session was good. But the infield one at the beginning of the game didn’t look very good.” Steamboat didn’t let the poor infield session do anything to stop them. The team got the scoring going in the top of the third inning. Davis Petersen had an RBI triple, and Jack McNamara and Robi Powers each added run-scoring singles to put

Steamboat up, 3-0, early. After Cherry Creek got one back in the bottom of the third to cut the lead to 3-1, Powers added an RBI single in the fifth to push Steamboat’s lead to 4-1. From there, Conner did the rest. He pitched five innings of five-hit ball and got an error-free game from the rest of his teammates. Tucker Limberg pitched a perfect sixth inning for Steamboat, to pick up the save. “There was a big crowd, and everybody was a little nervous (at the) beginning,” Pasternak said. “But I knew we could hit. That’s our strength all year, and we proved it again. The kids played awesome.”

the team’s opening game of the state tournament. Playing Grand Mesa — a team that has won state the past couple of years — Steamboat got three-hit in a 10-0 loss. “Probably the biggest thing we did was, we never got that big hit,” Steamboat coach Tim Bishop said. Bishop said Steamboat had runners on second and third in multiple innings but never could get a hit to scratch out a couple of runs. “I’m a big believer in runs,” Bishop said. “In other words, something that can happen in a game can change the whole flow. We didn’t get those runs punched in, and it seemed like we never got over the hump to start to feel like we could beat these guys.” Ryan Jeep started the game for Steamboat and pitched 3 1/3 innings. Bishop said part of the problem was that Steamboat played tentatively for most of the game. He said they never put pressure on Grand Mesa to make plays.

Rockies continued from 1C Right after Helton’s single, rain sent the fans scurrying for shelter or umbrellas. Garrett Atkins drew a walk and one out later, Tulowitzki sent Sanchez’s first offering into a downpour and over the wall in right-center for his 18th homer and a 3-0 lead. The Giants pulled to 3-1 on Sandoval’s RBI double in the sixth, which scored Andres

Torres from first base. Tulowitzki’s run-scoring double in the bottom half of the sixth restored Colorado’s threerun cushion and chased Sanchez, who gave up five earned runs on five hits over five-plus innings. Chris Iannetta sent a pitch from right-handed reliever Justin Miller to the track in center for a sacrifice fly and a 5-1 lead against the Giants, who fell to 36 on their 10-game trip that concludes Sunday at Coors Field.

Randy Winn’s one-out triple in the eighth ended De La Rosa’s night and brought in Rafael Betancourt. Pinch-hitter Fred Lewis grounded out to short, scoring Winn to make it 5-2.

Earnhardt qualifies in 3rd Norman snags Racer battles stomach virus to place in practice lap 3rd-round lead NASCAR — INDIANAPOLIS

INDIANAPOLIS

Dale Earnhardt Jr. battled back from a brutal stomach virus to qualify third at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Saturday — his best effort since Lance McGrew took over as crew chief seven races ago. Earnhardt was plagued with a high fever and vomiting when he arrived in

I n d i a n a p o l i s, and he wanted Brad Keselowski on standby in case he needs a relief driver today. But rain delayed qualifyEarnhardt ing Saturday, and Keselowski ran out of time to get a required practice lap in Earnhardt’s car before he

had to be at nearby O’Reilly Raceway Park to prepare for the Nationwide Series race. “He’s not going to be able to come out here, so we’re going to have to man up and not have a backup plan. That’s all right,” Earnhardt said. “We’ll see how it goes. It was a 24hour stomach bug. I guess I lost a bunch of fluids during that whole deal. I feel fine now. I just got to get fluids back in me.”

Phelps in spotlight with suits at worlds Paul Newberry

ROME

Michael Phelps will have to share the spotlight at these world championships. Those sleek-butsoon-to-be-obsolete bodysuits are having their last hurrah. Now that FINA has decided to ban high-tech suits that cover most of the body beginning in 2010, the Foro Italico will likely be remembered as the spot where one last great assault on the record book took place. All times will be under fire as

swimmers wearing rubberized suits that increase buoyancy and improve stamina take aim with added urgency, knowing that whatever Phelps comes out of the Eternal City figures to be rather enduring once the guys go back to jammers (suits that only go from the waist to the top of the knee) and the women can’t wears

suits beyond the shoulders or below the knees. “That’s a little extreme,” American sprint specialist Cullen Jones said. “Wow, it’s really down to the swimmer now.” Not yet. The new rules governing suits — which will also require they be made from textile fabrics — still must be sorted out and won’t go into effect until next year. And this is the biggest meet outside the Olympics, with everyone setting up their training to peak over the next eight days.

SUNNINGDALE, ENGLAND

Greg Norman shot a bogeyfree 6-under 64 on Saturday to grab the lead by a stroke heading into the last round of the Senior British Open. Norman was at 10-under 200, a stroke ahead of overnight leader Fred Funk (72) and Loren Roberts (67). Tom Watson’s hopes of improving on his runner-up spot in the British Open last week took a hit after a 70 that left him six shots behind Norman. Watson’s putter remained cold, despite an overnight grip change following similar problems Friday. “I had five three-putts. I wasted a good ball-striking day,” he said. “I hit it very well and made absolutely nothing on the greens, although I did make a 60-footer (on the 13th hole) and a 30-footer (on the 5th). “Otherwise, I was missing everything. Everything was right, everything pushed.

SENIOR BRITISH OPEN Maybe I ought to aim left. “I don’t have very good speed control on these greens.” Norman found the right speed in a solid round. “I put the ball in play and putted decently,” he said. “I got on the tee and could see the shots I wanted to play and just went and played them. I really wasn’t worried about anything else.” The Shark loves the Sunningdale course, where he played often and won during his years on the European Tour. “I feel comfortable around this golf course. I always have for some reason. I like the way it feels to me off the tee. You can be aggressive or conservative, depending on how you want to play. Today, I had a mixture of both.” Funk dropped his first shot of the week at the tough second hole, then doublebogeyed the 12th and bogeyed 14.

COMMENTARY

Swimming takes stand against suit technology Tim Dahlberg

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The news out of Rome was startling, at least to swimming fans and those who salivate at the thought of seeing Michael Phelps in a Speedo brief again. Records be damned, swimming is going retro. Out with those sleek body suits. In with something, shall we say, a bit more comfortable? If your thing Dahlberg is watching swimmers go faster than ever, tune in Sunday when the world championships begin in Rome. It’s probably going to be the last chance anyone has of setting a world record in the water for a long, long time. That’s almost heresy in a sport where records are, indeed, made to be broken. Phelps smashed seven of them himself as he swam his way to eight gold medals in Beijing last year, and that was just part of more than 100 world records that fell in 2008. Another 30 or so were broken this year, and even more are expected to be erased at the world championships. No use to print new record books because by the time they come out, they’re already out of date. But now swimming officials are taking a stand. They’re rolling back the clock beginning next year, stripping swimmers of the high-tech body suits that made them go so fast through water you swear little propellers had to be hidden inside. It’s a bold move by swimming’s governing body, FINA, and it goes against the seemingly relentless quest for technological advancement in sports everywhere. It also carries a risk that it will alienate fans who are interested in swimming only when there’s a world record at stake. Bottom line, though, is that it’s the right thing to do because the new suits introduced last year were making a mockery of the sport. World records were dropping so fast they were in danger of becoming as meaningless as Barry Bonds’ home run marks Unlike baseball, though, swimming didn’t pretend it had no performance issues. Unlike baseball, it reacted before the numbers became too much of a joke. And maybe it’s time for some other sports to, uh, follow suit. Not baseball, necessarily, because its problems were mostly chemically induced. Football, too, because the ball and the field remain the same even while everyone naturally wonders how 300-pounders manage to run and react so fast. Basketball? Well, that experiment with the 11-foot rim a few years back didn’t exactly raise the game, and neither did the NBA’s ill-fated synthetic ball. But technology has changed some sports dramatically. If swimming officials needed any examples, all they had to do was look at tennis and golf, both of which did nothing while better equipment altered the very fundamentals of the game. This year’s Wimbledon final between Roger Federer and Andy Roddick was billed as an epic affair that went long into overtime before Federer finally prevailed. But the only reason it lasted so long was the evolution of racket technology to a point where serves are so fast they rarely can be returned. As an exhibition of serving, it was fine. But the greatest player of his time couldn’t break serve until the 77th and final game, a good example of how much tennis has become dominated by the serve, at least in the upper levels of the men’s game.

Gallardo outduels Hanson in Brewers win up the middle that barely eluded shortstop Alexi Ramirez.

MILWAUKEE

Yovani Gallardo scattered four hits in 7 1/3 scoreless innings and drove in the only run Milwaukee needed off previously unbeaten Tommy Hanson to lead the Brewers past the Atlanta Braves, 4-0. The RBI single by Gallardo (9-7) broke open a scoreless game in the fifth and gave the struggling Brewers a boost of confidence after a miserable start to July. Milwaukee had lost 13 of 19 to fall from first to fourth in the National League Central.

Angels 11, Twins 5 ANAHEIM, CALIF.

Chone Figgins and Maicer Izturis, normally the table-setters in the Los Angeles Angels’ lineup, both homered during a nine-run fourth inning and the American League West leaders extended their winning streak to a season-high eight games Saturday with an 11-5 victory against the Minnesota Twins. Matt Palmer (8-1) allowed two runs and four hits in five innings. The Angels have averaged 7.33 runs in the 30-year-old rookie’s 12 starts.

Nationals 13, Padres 1 WASHINGTON

Adam Dunn’s grand slam capped a five-run second inning after a rain delay of more than three hours, and the Washington Nationals beat the San Diego Padres, 13-1, Saturday night for their most lopsided victory of the season. Dunn finished with five RBIs, Ryan Zimmerman homered and drove in three runs and Nyjer Morgan equaled a career high with four hits for Washington, which snapped a two-game losing streak.

Rays 10, Blue Jays 9, 12 innings TORONTO

Jason Bartlett hit an RBI

double in the 12th inning, capping the biggest comeback in Tampa Bay history, and the Rays erased an eight-run deficit to beat Toronto. Down 8-0 after four, Tampa Bay cut it to 9-7 heading into the ninth against closer Scott Downs. The AL champions tied it on solo homers by Carlos Pena and Willy Aybar, handing Downs his third blown save.

Athletics 6, Yankees 4 NEW YORK

Gio Gonzalez worked out of trouble when Andy Pettitte could not, and Oakland snapped New York’s eight-game winning streak. Landon Powell and Orlando Cabrera each drove in a pair during a six-run seventh for the A’s, who also ended an eight-game losing streak to the Yankees that dated to last season.

Red Sox 7, Orioles 2 BOSTON

David Ortiz jump-started Boston’s sluggish offense with a three-run homer, Adam LaRoche added a two-run shot in his Red Sox debut and Jon Lester pitched into the eighth inning against struggling Baltimore. Jacoby Ellsbury added two RBI doubles for the Red Sox, who won their second straight after a season-high five-game losing streak and moved within 1 1/2 games of the AL East-leading Yankees.

Tigers 4, White Sox 3, 10 innings DETROIT

Carlos Guillen’s RBI single in the 10th gave Detroit a victory against Chicago. After the Tigers sent the game into extra innings with a ninthinning rally, Clete Thomas led off the 10th with a single off D.J. Carrasco (3-1) and went to second on Miguel Cabrera’s base hit. Guillen then chopped a ball

Royals 6, Rangers 3 KANSAS CITY, MO.

Luke Hochevar struck out a career-high 13 in seven innings and closer Joakim Soria earned a rare six-out save, helping Kansas City beat Texas to end a 10-game losing streak. Hochevar (6-3) had the second-most strikeouts in team history and was particularly effective against Texas’ big three, striking out Josh Hamilton, Andruw Jones and Hank Blalock a combined nine times. RICK WOOD/MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL

Indians 10, Mariners 3 SEATTLE

Asdrubal Cabrera homered, drove in two runs and scored three times to back a strong start by Jeremy Sowers in Cleveland’s testy victory against Seattle. Sowers (3-7), recalled from Triple-A before the game, held the Mariners scoreless in seven innings, allowing four hits in his best outing this season.

Phillies 14, Cardinals 6 PHILADELPHIA

Jimmy Rollins hit a go-ahead grand slam and had a careerhigh five RBIs, Shane Victorino went 4 for 4 with a homer and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the St. Louis Cardinals 14-6 on Saturday in a matchup of division leaders. Rodrigo Lopez (3-0) allowed four runs — three earned — and 10 hits in six innings. The veteran right-hander likely would be the odd man out when recently signed Pedro Martinez is ready to join the Phillies’ rotation.

Landeros adjusts his dreams

his year’s Behind the Boat skiing and wakeboard camp at Bald Eagle Lake featured plenty of new faces. Nikko Landeros, though, is an old hand by now. Landeros was back at the Access Anything and Adaptive Adventures camp for the third time since he lost his legs in a crash 2 1/2 years ago. Landeros and his friend Tyler Carron, who didn’t make the trip this summer, each lost both their legs after they were pinned against their Isuzu Trooper while trying to change a flat tire along a road near their hometown of Berthoud. Both were high-profile high school wrestlers at the time of the accident. Carron’s and Landeros’ regular attendance at the annual Steamboat Springs camp was proof that they weren’t about to give up on their athletic ambitions. Their continued commitment to athletics goes far beyond the shores of Bald Eagle Lake, however. They each recently earned spots on U.S. national sled hockey teams. “I played hockey before my accident. Someone told me about sled hockey, (I) went for my first time and did pretty well,” Landeros said. That first taste of the sport turned into a spot on the national team in just seven months. He said sled hockey is more difficult than regular hockey. Skaters balance on two thin blades and power their way around the rink with their arms. “It’s real hard. You carry two sticks, and you still have to keep control of the puck. It’s hard to shoot, too. You’re on the ground and you have to get the puck up,” he said. “Wakeboarding actually helped a lot. It’s all the same kind of movements in how you turn.” He said his speed and size — he’s a big guy with big arms to propel him — helped him make the cut. The new sport also has led to new dreams. “The Olympics are coming up in March,” he said. “The USA, we’re the first seed right now.” Landeros’ role in the Behind the Boat camp has changed since he first came three summers ago, just six months after the accident that overturned his life. “I’m a volunteer helper this year,” he joked, pausing for a few minutes to offer fishing advice to a young camper along the shore. He said his commitment to the national team has limited what he can do in other sports and even limited what he was allowed to do on his annual lake trip. He also said he had no plans to miss the Steamboat camp any time soon — meaning Steamboat, which has no shortage of Olympians, soon could have yet another regular Olympic visitor. “Steamboat’s beautiful,” Landeros said. “I’ve known these guys for a while now, and I just like to come out and have some fun with them.”

Tom Williams jogs with his donkey, Justine, near his home in northern Moffat County on Thursday. Williams had hoped to compete with Justine in one of the large burro races in Colorado but had to put his plans on hold after breaking a few ribs in a fall from a horse earlier this month. He said he still plans to compete in the events next year and hopes to compete in Steamboat Springs Running Series races this summer.

Jogging with Justine Slater rancher pursues burro racing

ometimes Justine can just be, well, a jackass. Midway through a Thursday evening workout, Tom Williams’ burro stopped in the middle of the road. He yanked once, then twice on the harness STORY BY he held, but seemingly JOEL dead-set on REICHENBERGER upholding a stereotype, the stubborn Justine planted her hooves and didn’t budge. “After I got her, it was three solid weeks before I could get her out of a dead walk,” Williams said, recalling the early May process of breaking the animal in. “Finally, I had to use a butt rope and horse treats. “She really likes horse treats.” Thursday’s frustration wasn’t nearly on that level, and it didn’t take horse treats to resolve. On the third tug, the 3year-old burro fell back in line beside Williams, jogging down a dusty road in the far northern reaches of Moffat County. “She’s really a lot of fun to run with,” Williams said. “She can carry all your water and your pack. I don’t run by myself anymore. She’s too much fun to run with.”

SUNDAY FOCUS

Change in plans Had everything gone to plan, Thursday’s workout would have been an important one, and Justine’s hesitation, even as slight as it was, might have been a worry. Everything hasn’t gone to plan, though, and instead of a final tune-up for Williams’ original goal — Saturday’s Burro Days race and celebration in Fairplay — Thursday’s jog saw Williams easing back into the sport.

“That felt all right,” Williams said afterward, looking surprised. “I haven’t run for more than a week.” An early July riding accident ended Williams’ hopes of competing not just in the Fairplay race, but also in the other two spires of the triple crown of Colorado burro racing: the Gold Rush Days race in Buena Vista and the Boom Days race in Leadville. Williams fell from his horse and broke his ribs while checking the fence on a friend’s ranch. “The dog got after the horse and (it) bucked me off,” Williams said, looking at the floor and shuffling his feet. “It doesn’t really buck, but I lost a stirrup and fell.”

Adopting and adapting Williams, a native of the Baggs, Wyo., area, has long been a regular runner. He’s completed in half a dozen marathons, logging finishes everywhere from Jacksonville, Fla., to Taos, N.M. He ran the Steamboat Marathon in 2006 and has been a regular in the Steamboat Springs Running Series throughout the years. “I still get between two and 10 miles a day,” said Williams, now 62 years old. It wasn’t until Justine came into his life that he contemplated burro racing. He got the animal from a friend and got the idea to race it from a flier for the Fairplay event. The flier still is pinned on a bulletin board in the octagonal log cabin Williams shares with his wife of 20 years, Rose, and their 19-year-old son, Kevin. It hangs alongside everything else important to Williams’ newest pursuit, from newspaper clippings to race rules and event schedules. “I’ll go next year,” he said, determination flashing behind a pair of eyeglasses that sit low

on his nose. Things had been going well. Once Justine decided to run, she grew to be as enthusiastic as Williams. “I got her into running finally, and I had to get her bulletproof,” he said. “Sometimes we’d come to a bridge and she’d balk. She wouldn’t cross water, wouldn’t do this, wouldn’t do that and would just set her feet. But if you give her treats all the time, that helps.” After spending three weeks getting Justine to run, it took two more to convince her to load into a horse trailer. Eventually, though, her temperament calmed and the running pair began to hit the road.

Out and about Justine made her racing debut in May in the 7-mile Little Snake River Race for the Cure. They continued to rack up miles around Williams’ home, and they ran to church

in Dixon one Sunday morning early in the summer. “I parked the donkey outside and went in,” he said. “Afterward all the parishioners came out and petted her.” Williams even hauled Justine to Hayden to run in last month’s Cog Run. They weren’t exactly fast, narrowly avoiding finishing last, but it was all a sign of progress. “They usually don’t encourage dogs to run, but this isn’t a dog. She doesn’t do anything,” he observed wryly. “She didn’t have the best day. She had to stop and visit with two or three horses along the way.” While his plans of running in the massive burro races are on hiatus, his plans of racing with the donkey are not. Williams walked over to the bulletin board where his plans and mementos hung and pulled the Steamboat Springs Running Series schedule from behind a handful of papers.

“Yeah, there it is,” he said, pointing a thin finger at an Aug. 16 event. “The Continental Trail Divide — 16 miles. We’ll do that one.” —To reach Joel Reichenberger, call 871-4253 or e-mail jreichenberger@steamboatpilot.com

Q. When did you move to Routt County, and what brought you here? A. Full time in 2005, as often as possible before then. When Wendy was pregnant with Neve, we decided that Steamboat would be the best possible place for our kids to grow up because of the good people here, so we’d better move now instead of waiting. We worked really hard and found a way to make our dream a reality; couldn’t be happier that we did. Q. What’s the biggest risk you’ve taken recently? A. Moving to Steamboat or maybe trying to keep up with all of my friends here. Q. Describe your morning routine. A.

What was it and why? A. I’ve read many great books, but it is the advice my grandfather gave me as a 5-year-old on his farm that still stays with me every day: “Take good care of others, and you won’t have to worry about yourself.” Q. What three things would you want people to know about you? A. Hopefully that I am a good dad, husband and friend that tries to think of others first.

Hay doesn’t necessarily pay Fuel costs, recession offer challenges for hay growers in Colorado, local expert says

he abundant hay crop being harvested this week in the Elk and Yampa river valleys doesn’t necessarily assure an economic boon for area farmers and ranchers. Yields are up more than 100 percent in some parts of Routt County. The countywide Mucklow average yield is 2 tons per acre, and dry-land hay usually hits 1 ton per acre. Ironically, this year’s high yields could actually depress prices on the local market. “Most of this summer’s hay crop is phenomenal, especially in the Elk River Valley and between Steamboat and

SUNDAYFOCUS STORY BY TOM ROSS Hayden,” Colorado State University Extension Agent CJ Mucklow said. Mucklow’s own field of dryland, or not irrigated, alfalfa is producing 2 tons per acre this year, compared to three-quarters of a ton in 2008. The real challenge for hay growers in Northwest Colorado may be traced to distant states. The cost of petroleum in 2008, coupled with the impact the recession is having on Holstein cows and thoroughbred horses, is making it tougher to make a profit on Routt County hay, one local expert said.

“The big picture in this industry is that the cost of fuel and (consequently) fertilizer soured things,” said Doug Decosta, of Colorado Hay Company in Yampa. “We got stuck behind high fuel prices.” Decosta’s company has been brokering hay from five states to buyers across the nation, and even to international markets, since 1985. Northwest Colorado’s hay industry always will have a solid base, he said, because some longtime customers prize the high mountain grass hay. However, the twin forces of record fuel prices in 2008 and the recession that followed have made an already complex market more difficult than ever.

High-quality hay brought bullish prices last year — $165 a ton was not uncommon. However, Decosta said about $20 to $30 per ton of hay could be attributed to expensive diesel fuel. “The farmer didn’t get rich on those prices,” Decosta said. “He was just paying the fuel bill.” Then came the double whammy. The high cost of fuel and hay depressed the livestock industries. For example, dairy farmers in Arizona are being discouraged by their bankers from paying high prices for hay. Instead, older milk cows and young heifers are being shipped for hamburger rather than sus-

taining the size of dairy herds. There isn’t much incentive to increase herd sizes and feed expensive hay to dairy cattle when prices for dairy products are lower than the cost of production, Decosta said. The price for hay in Arizona this summer is more like $120 a ton, Decosta said. The decreased demand for dairy hay is pushing the product to horse farms, where owners typically have been willing to pay a premium for high-nutrient hay. But similar economic forces are working on the thoroughbred industry. “In Florida and Kentucky, they survive on the sale of thoroughbred colts,” Decosta See Hay, page 2D

Jaconetta makes burritos his way Zach Fridell

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

OAK CREEK

A burrito is more than just a burrito if put in the right hands. To Lawrence Jaconetta, the burritos at Lupita’s Cantina are a work of art. With ingredients he selects and toppings he chooses, the burritos are tortilla-wrapped acts of expression for the Oak Creek artist. “I’m not out to make a buck and dish out the lowest schwag to get more of a profit. I’m an artist. I have passion for it,” he said. “You’ve got to have fun PAULA JO JACONETTA/COURTESY Lupita’s Cantina, a seasonal lunch spot in Oak Creek, has burittos just the way owner with what you do.” Lawrence Jaconetta likes them. Customers get a creation of Jaconetta’s for about $6. Because of that, the burritos

and tacos at Lupita’s are just the way Jaconetta likes them. Cool salsa, spicy sour cream, black beans and a choice of pork, fish or chicken. It’s not a “pick your own stuff” type place, Jaconetta said. He uses black beans and basmati rice — a type that isn’t as sticky as most types of rice and is used typically in Indian food — because he likes them. And no cheese on the tacos, because “I don’t like cheese with tacos,” he said. What customers get, instead of options, is a creation of Jaconetta’s for about $6. “For $6? Come on.” he said. “With the economy, it’s a good opportunity” to open a low-cost

lunch spot, he said. Lupita’s, named after Jaconetta’s 7-month-old daughter, is one of several businesses Jaconetta runs in Routt County. He also owns O.C. Ink Drilling Co. and Local Flavor catering in Steamboat Springs. Jaconetta opened Lupita’s in a tiny building across from the Sinclair in downtown Oak Creek on June 1, and the seasonal eatery probably will remain open through September. The shop is open “from like 11 until we run out of food,” Jaconetta said. That’s usually around 3 p.m. with the steady stream of traffic the restaurant has seen.

o restaurant main course may be more widely beloved and widely ridiculed at the same time than “surf and turf.” That rhyming combination of boiled or grilled lobster and grilled steak certainly solves the dilemma some people face when dining at an old-fashioned fancy steak and seafood restaurant and want something extra-special but can’t decide. And, to tell you the truth, I understand the appeal of alternating bites of sweet, succulent lobster dipped in drawn butter and a meaty, juicy, well-seasoned steak. But you can also imagine how easy it is for some overambitious restaurants or home cooks to split their attention between the featured ingredients and wind up getting neither right. And I’m sure you can understand why some serious foodies and chefs might consider serving steak and lobster together a bit “over the top.” That’s why I aim for something subtler when preparing my own marriage between seafood

and steak. Here in California, we get great fresh salmon from the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, and I find the richly flavored fish a perfect companion to good steak. Substituting salmon for lobster in my Californiastyle surf and turf also has the advantage of making the cooking easier, since the steak cooks first and then rests in a warm place to let its hot juices settle back into the meat’s fibers while the salmon takes its place on the grill and quickly cooks to perfection. Speaking of perfection, many outdoor cooking enthusiasts ask me if, to get the best results, they have to grill over an oak wood fire like we do at our Cut steakhouses in Beverly Hills and Las

Vegas. And while a good wood fire will provide high searing heat and fragrant smoke, you can also get excellent results with any fuel if you follow another of my favorite tricks: seasoning the meat or fish well before cooking. I like to use rubs on my grilled foods. A good rub combines salt, sugar, spices, dried herbs and other seasonings to achieve a blend so balanced that it highlights the ingredient you apply it to without calling attention to any one element. Over a hot fire, it also mingles with the food’s juices to form a crust that heightens every bite. Rubs also are incredibly convenient when cooking quickgrilling, tender ingredients. You can mix the spices well ahead and store them in an airtight container if you like. But don’t apply them to the food too far in advance, or the salt and sugar will draw out too much moisture. There you have it: secrets for a great new approach to surf and turf, one that’s so easy and delicious.

California-style surfand-turf barbecue Serves 4 SPICE RUB: 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar 2 tablespoons garlic powder 2 tablespoons onion powder 2 tablespoons dried oregano 2 tablespoons dried thyme 1 tablespoon mild paprika 1 tablespoon hot paprika 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon kosher salt 2 teaspoons dried coriander 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper 2 teaspoons ground white pepper SURF AND TURF: 2 pounds whole New York or rib-eye steak 1-1/2 pounds fresh salmon fillet, preferably wild-caught from Alaska, cut into 4 equal pieces 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil First, make the rub. In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, garlic and onion powders, oregano, thyme, mild and hot paprika, cayenne, salt, coriander, and black and white peppers. Stir well. (Alternatively, combine all the rub ingredients in a heavy-duty seal-

able plastic food-storage bag. Seal the bag and shake to mix the ingredients.) Preheat an outdoor grill. Meanwhile, put the steak on a large tray or platter and drizzle on both sides with a little of the olive oil. With clean hands, rub it generously with some of the spice rub mixture. Wash your hands thoroughly. Put the salmon fillet pieces on another tray or platter and drizzle them with a little more oil. Rub them on both sides with more of the spice mixture. Set aside at room temperature. When the grill is ready, drizzle both sides of the steak with a little more oil. Put it on the grill and cook, turning once, until done to your liking, testing with an instant-read grill thermometer (130 to 140 degrees F for mediumrare). Transfer to a platter and cover with foil to rest for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, drizzle both sides of the salmon fillets with a little more oil and cook until they are done medium, still moist at the center, about 7 minutes per 1 inch of thickness, turning once. Transfer to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Transfer the steak to a cutting board. Steadying it with a carving fork, cut it with a sharp carving knife across the grain into slices about 1/2 inch thick. Transfer a salmon fillet to each serving plate and drape slices of steak alongside. Serve immediately.

Hay farmers also are singing the blues on Colorado’s eastern plains, where abundant rainfall isn’t always a blessing. Not only did unusually heavy precipitation in early June ruin the first cutting of alfalfa, Don Leonard, of Don’s Hay Service in Brush, said, but the moisture that forced farmers to put up moldy hay improved grass pastures. That’s allowing livestock growers to feed their cattle on their own grass and put off buying hay. “The hay is piled out there, but the quality is terrible,” Leonard said.

MILESTONES BIRTHS

50th Year: An editorial From the Friday, July 27, 1934, edition of The Steamboat Pilot (Golden Anniversary Edition; the Pilot ran several letters to the editor from Colorado newspapermen and some from local residents, celebrating 50 years in operation): Today the Pilot begins its 50th year of continuous publication. This in itself is a credible record, but the Pilot hopes it has more than its age to recommend it. During that time, almost half a century, the Pilot has stood to the best of its ability for all that was the best interests of Routt County and Northwest Colorado. It has labored faithfully for the building of the community in which it is published and we state, without any intention of being egotistical, that this paper has been an important factor in bringing about the development of Steamboat Springs and Routt County. For the Pilot is, to a greater degree than any other, a county paper, loyal to its hometown first but willing and anxious at any time to advance the interests of any part of this great county, of which we are so proud. We have had broad enough vision to understand that what helps one part of the county helps every other part, and there is plenty of room and opportunity in this favored county for many towns and many communities, with wealth and opportunity for all.

When the first issue of the Pilot was given to the world, there were less than a dozen residents in Steamboat Springs. It was an embryo town in the wilderness. There were five or six cabins, and mail came 150 miles from Georgetown once a week. Today we have a modern city, a few hours ride from Denver, with every modern convenience, a town that is recognized as one of the liveliest and best in the state. As the years have progressed, the Pilot has endeavored to keep a little in advance of the progress and to be a leader of the best aspirations of the town in a moral and material way. It has tried to be an advocate that all the citizens could point to with pride and send to their friends as a representative of the best in a community abundantly blessed with material riches. The Pilot has grown even during the trying times of what is called the world’s greatest depression, and this could only be done by the loyal support of the people of the town and the county, for which we are deeply grateful.

It’s a way for me to give back to the community that gave back to me in the past.” The program was supported last year by a $4,400 grant from Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. that allowed it to pay for bicycle parts and repair costs. Levy said a $500 grant from SmartWool would continue to support the program this year. And Giving Bikes Back was assisted by a number of volunteers, who showed up to two fix-up days held last year and in May, Johns said. Stacy Weinberg, salvage yard manager for Home ReSource, said more than 80 bikes have

They include the Boys & Girls Club of Craig, Community Cultivation, North Routt Preschool, Routt County Department of Human Services, Holy Name Catholic Church, Horizons Specialized Services, Perry Mansfield, LIFT-UP of Routt County and the United Way of Routt County. Alejandra and Lluvia expressed interest in receiving bikes from the program after reading about it in a Partners of Routt County newsletter, case manager Erin Murphy said. Alejandra, who lives in Hayden, said she wanted a bike to be able to ride with her aunt. Lluvia, who lives in Steamboat Springs, said she wanted a bike to ride downtown in the summer and maybe even to school.

A big-picture food strategy saves households money Heather McPherson THE ORLANDO SENTINEL

You might think that keeping a grocery budget in check in a small household would be easy. Fewer mouths to feed equals less money flowing from the account, right? That may not always be the case — especially when it’s difficult to take

advantage of volume buying. Here are some cost-saving strategies: Look for large bags of frozen vegetables and chicken breasts on sale. Divide contents into single-serving sizes and refreeze at home in freezer-quality sealable bags. Check the small print on coupons or in-store promotions to avoid buying more than you need to qualify for a discount. You may not need to buy 10 cans of beans to qualify for the same discount on just one. When in doubt, ask for a clarification at the customerservice counter. If you don’t have the storage space to take advantage of buy-in-bulk offers or warehouse-club savings, share the bargains with friends. You are bound to find other thrifty shoppers through church groups and book clubs.
