Corrections The Boys & Girls Club of Steamboat Springs is not licensed by the state of Colorado. It is a youth development organization. The story “Afterschool programs open,” on page 6 of Tuesday’s Steamboat Today, incorrectly characterized the program.

Steamboat 700 developers agreed Tuesday to raise an additional $50,000 a year in property taxes, avoiding what appeared to be a Steamboat Springs City Council headed for deadlock.

The concession came at the end of a hearing to discuss a model developed to forecast the development’s fiscal impact on the city’s operating budget at different stages and up to the point when the proposed development is complete.

The debate at Tuesday’s meeting split the council in two — those who thought the cost was unacceptable and that

a new revenue source should be generated, and those who felt the small deficit was outweighed by the benefits of the development, especially affordable housing. “This allows our children’s children a chance to actually live here,” resident Curtis See Council, page 16

Routt County will put $1 million in chips on the table for the chance to win a $20 million jackpot from the federal government. The money primarily will be used to acquire 44 acres from landowners along Routt County Road 14. Acquiring the rights

of way is a necessary precursor before the county can carry out its No. 1 road priority: a reconstruction of a five-mile section of C.R. 14 that begins at its northern intersection with Colorado Highway 131. That section has narrow lanes, blind corners, uneven pavement and no shoulders, said Routt County Road and Bridge Director Paul Draper, who said the county spends an

average of about $93,000 a year in short-term repairs on the road. The reconstruction project would widen shoulders to the South Routt County thoroughfare, which receives more traffic than any other county road. The project also would re-grade some of the hillier sections of the road and realign some of its sharpSee County, page 15

Pietras said he would run for the four-year, District 1 seat being vacated by term-limited Councilman Steve Ivancie or council’s two-year, at-large seat held by Councilwoman Cari Hermacinski. Hermacinski said last week that she would run to keep her at-large seat, but she has changed her mind and will run for the District 1 seat against her Old Town neighbor, former City Council President Kevin Bennett. Pietras said that

Tuesday that he is undecided but leaning toward running. Bennett and Engelken have leveled heavy criticisms against current council memPietras bers, who they think are too pro-development. Pietras, however, said he is a fan of the current council’s work. “They’ve had lots of decisions in front of them, and I think they’ve handled them well,” said Pietras, 39.

The 4H members rigged it up with a divider in the middle, readying the home for the three chickens they had between them. The girls will be freshmen at Soroco High School this fall and were preparing their animals for judging that is scheduled for Thursday at the Routt County Fair. Poultry and rabbit weigh-in started Tuesday afternoon and continues this morning at the Hayden fairgrounds. Cassandra also raises goats, and Natalie does pigs. The girls

agreed that chickens were easier. “Pigs, you can’t train them,” Natalie said. “They just kind of run around.” Chickens get used to being handled and then are easy to show, she and Cassandra said. Cassandra brought in one leghorn chicken, and Natalie had two Polish chickens. Leghorns are laying chickens, Cassandra said. Natalie’s Polish chickens, with their puffy spray of head feathers, are pure show birds, she said. “It’ll lay little, tiny eggs,” Natalie said. The toughest part of raising chickens is keeping them safe, Cassandra said. “Not getting them killed by dogs” is tough, she said. “It’s like their favorite snack. It’s horrible.” Hayden residents Ashleigh Muhme and Sammi Cless already had staked out their cages. Muhme plans to show eight rabbits, 12 turkeys, 11 chickens and two pigs. “I’m a little busy,” she said with a grin, spreading wood chips in trays below the rabbit cages. Cless is showing eight rabbits.

“I like ’em,” she said. “They’re easy, and they’re cute.” Judges will check the rabbits for wolf teeth, which are teeth that come out of the mouth and curve. Some will be judged for weight. Ideal characteristics vary from one breed to another, Muhme said. “There’s a standard of perfection, and it’s actually renewed each year,” she said. Judges look at color, condition and faults of the rabbits, Muhme said. Cassandra and Natalie’s chickens will go before judges’ discriminating eyes, too. They’ll examine the chickens to check the size of their breast and whether they have extra toes, split wings, speckled beaks or other undesirable traits. The girls sat back in the warm barn and observed their chickens, having bustled them into the metal cage to stay. Each bird has its own personality, the girls agreed. “They’re like teenagers,” Cassandra said. “Some are snotty, some are not.”

�

About 15 years ago, blues singer and guitarist Susan Tedeschi was just out of college and hadn’t done much singing or blues guitar playing. She started singing at a blues jam with some friends, and the powerful force she exerts on stage these days grew from there. “And then I started getting hooked on the whole idea of playing guitar and, once that happened, it was like I caught a bug, and it was really addictive,” Tedeschi said in a spring 2008 interview with the Steamboat Pilot & Today. Tedeschi headlines the fourth show of the 2009 Steamboat Springs Free Summer Concert Series on Thursday at the base of Steamboat Ski Area. Activities start at 5:30 p.m., an opening act starts at 6 p.m., and Tedeschi goes on at about 7 p.m. “She’s one of the best blues singers around, she plays great guitar and she has a terrific voice,” said Joe Kboudi, president and co-founder of the Free Summer Concert Series. “She’s just the sweetest little thing, and she just wails on the stage and plays great guitar licks.” Tedeschi grew up around the

County Fair teaches life lessons

he 95th annual Routt County Fair couldn’t come at a better time for our community. In the midst of a recession that has pulled the rug out from under our local housing market, job market and economy, AT ISSUE it’s refreshing and encouraging to see The 95th that the roots of life annual Routt in the Yampa Valley County Fair still are strong and vibrant. Residents and OUR VIEW visitors to the valley Event has deep should take the time to attend the fair this appeal and week, for any number meaning this of compelling reasons. summer, more Routt County youths so than ever. show maturity beyond their years in spending countless hours preparing their animals — training, exercising, feeding and grooming them — for show and sale at the fair. Routt County adults spend countless hours of their own canning fruits, growing vegetables, sewing quilts and pursuing hobbies that grow into passions, the results of which are on display at the fair starting this afternoon in the home arts competitions. Events culminate during the weekend at the Routt County Fairgrounds

in Hayden and include a barn dance, mutton bustin’, live music, an open horseshoe pitching contest, vendors, a “bounce house” and trampoline for children, a downtown parade, calf riding, freestyle reining and much more. The Junior Livestock Sale is at 5 p.m. Saturday in the fairgrounds’ Multipurpose Building. An annual highlight, the livestock sale has drawn concern this year from 4-H supporters, who fear the recession could drop sale prices at the auction. Local youths net about $900 for beef, sheep, swine and goat projects, according to a 2008 survey. Much of that money goes toward college funds or for next year’s livestock projects that further boost savings for youths. In June, 4-H Agent Jay Whaley said participant numbers have increased this year across livestock categories. That means more children will be selling animals — and learning the business side of raising animals for market — at a time when buyers could have less to spend. 4-H worked with Dean Vogelaar, president of the Steamboat Springs branch of Mountain Valley Bank, to set up a “stimulus fund” for children selling animals. But more help likely is needed.

“4-H, FFA is what this community has been about for longer than it’s been a resort community,” sale organizer John Kerst said in June. “And we treasure this Western heritage that we have, and a lot of these kids are part of it.” North Routt resident Garret McCullar, 11, sent a letter to this newspaper — one of many letters sent to businesses by local youths — as a reminder about the auction. “This is my second year participating in the fair with my horses and my first showing and selling a market animal,” Garret wrote, showing an early affinity for salesmanship. “I have been working very hard getting my Berkshire pig, Bridges, ready for fair. I am very excited to show and participate in the livestock auction. My market swine will be available for purchase at the barbecue and auction.” The barbecue is at 3 p.m. Saturday, followed by the auction at 5 p.m. at the fairgrounds. A barn dance with music by Redline begins at 8:30 that night. The Routt County Fair, this year themed “Alive at 95,” provides a broad look at the agricultural lifestyle that is the foundation of our valley. It’s not to be missed. Here’s to this year’s fair and to 95 more.

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

The Routt County Fair has arrived, and many kids are finishing up their livestock projects. This year we have more kids than ever. There is an 18 percent increase on the amount of kids in the Routt County 4-H program. Four-H youths are more likely to succeed in school and are also involved as leaders in their school and community. Projects are designed to develop life skills like confidence, caring and compassion.

of school program. The 4-H vision is “A world which youth and adults learn, grow and work together as catalysts for positive change.” Four-H youths make a difference in their lives now and tomorrow. We feed, wash, walk and pamper our animals daily. This routine shows our dedication to the 4-H program and the animals we love. Our long hours of work from the last six months are splattered in blood, sweat and tears as we learn responsibility. Now more than ever we can use your support.

Americans do need health care reform sale and support our local kids. See you at the fair!

Belle Horn

HIGH VALLEY 4-H CLUB REPORTER

Health care reform On Friday, Rob Douglas wrote, “There is nothing wrong with health care in the United States today.” We also hear this when newscasters interview protesters at recent town hall meetings: “Our health care is the best in the world!” By whose standards, I ask? Let me share some statistics: ■ The World Health Organization ranks the U.S. 41st in the world in infant mortality, worse than the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Spain, Puerto Rico and even Bosnia/Herzegovina, among others. ■ In life expectancy, they rank us 45th in the world. ■ For diseases such as bacterial infections, treatable cancers, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and complications from common surgical procedures, in 2002 (the last year available) we had 109.7 deaths per 100,000. This was 50 percent higher than the rates in France, Japan, Spain, Italy, Canada and Australia. ■ Lastly, the Commonwealth Fund ranks the U.S. last in health care outcomes when compared to Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand and the United Kingdom — even though we spend twice as much on health care as these countries. Those who believe that we have the best health care in the world must live in their own little bubble, convinced that they will always be able to pay for insurance premiums that escalate every year. They must

believe that they will never lose their jobs — unlike the 250,000 who lost their jobs last month — and therefore probably lose their insurance. They must not be concerned that this “world’s best health care” is not affordable to a huge number of our citizens. But many are likely to discover that, no matter how wealthy they are, their insurance will suddenly become unavailable to them because of a pre-existing condition or a disabling illness. The Harvard Study, funded by the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation, found that in the U.S., “a quarter of insurance firms cancel coverage immediately when an employee suffers a disabling illness; another quarter cancel coverage within a year.” These cancellations frequently lead to bankruptcies and loss of homes. Health care reform, if done right, could put a stop to such rate hikes and cancellations. Otherwise, watch out Rob, your policy could be next. Those who worry about the expense of health care reform neglect to recognize that the health care expense we have now is unsustainable: It will double over the next decade. President Obama has made it clear that health care reform must not increase the deficit over the next decade and must reduce costs over time. By cutting wasteful and fraudulent spending, by streamlining medical records and by emphasizing preventive care, we can reduce much of the current medical costs. It bears mentioning that this is the first administration to plan and budget for the cost of health care. When Medicare Part D was passed, there was no cost planning — except to raise the cost by prohibiting volume pricing for drugs. With health care reform, we can negotiate lower prices for drugs and services.

There is �� no truth to this silliness, and the loud rudeness is unproductive. Fortunately, here in Routt County most of us welcome civil discourse about important �� issues. I look forward to joining our community in such discus�� sions. In summary, if you are posi�� tive that you will always have �� enough money to pay for your health insurance, no matter how high the premiums go and if you are certain that you will never be diagnosed with cancer or another disabling disease, perhaps the status quo is what you want. On the other hand, if you want our country to join the nations with the highest health ratings, if you want to lower the cost of everyone’s health care premiums, and if you want to guarantee that nobody’s insurance can be canceled because of disabling illness, ask your legislators to develop deficit-neutral comprehensive health care reform.

It’s been 61 years since Weldon Lamb has seen Betty Cary, the first girl he asked out on a date. He said a lot has changed since she turned him down at age 15, three years before they graduated from high school in 1948. Lamb went by Weldon in high school and now goes by Joe, his first name and what his Army buddies called him. And Cary changed her last name when she married Lewis Kemry. “I bet if I mentioned it to her, she wouldn’t remember,” Lamb said about the date. On the contrary. “We rode the bus together,” Betty (Cary) Kemry said. “I remember we held hands.” She did, however, forget turning Lamb down — but she said it was probably because she didn’t date in those days. Lamb and Kemry were just two of the many graduates of the Steamboat Springs High JOHN F.

corriendo en las praderas y valgan dinero, y la economía siga de esta manera y la gente se encuentre sin trabajo, mejor vigilen a su ganado,” él dijo. Nichols ha visto otros casos de robo de ganado, pero nada como este. “No tenemos muchos reportes de robo de ganado,” él dijo. “He investigado unos cuantos que solo eran una vaca perdida. Típicamente, esos casos, son realizados solo por una persona que lleva una para alimentar a su familia.” La magnitud del número de ganado perdido le sugiere, sin embargo, que los animales han sido llevados y vendidos

apoya esta teoría. Unas semanas atrás, Ocker y Nichols recibieron un reporte donde encontraron cinco cabezas de vacas botadas en un lado de la Carretera del Condado 9, en la misma área que el ranchero reportó la pérdida. Parecía que las cabezas habían sido dejadas por cierto tiempo y seguramente estuvieron ahí durante el invierno, dijo Nichols. Él también identificó algunas huellas de bala en sus cráneos. Cada una parecía que habían sido cortadas del resto del esqueleto con una sierra, y las orejas habían sido cortadas, probablemente para esconder las marcas del rancho al cual pertenecían, añadió Nichols. Parece que hubiera ladrones de ganado en el Condado de Moffat, se llevan el ganado y luego los despedazan en otro lugar y botan los residuos en un tercer lugar.

Concesionarios de vehículos locales han suspendido sus ventas de “Dinero por Vehículos Viejos” hasta que estén seguros que el gobierno ha separado suficiente dinero para reembolsarles. El programa federal permite a los compradores ahorrarse hasta $4,500 cuando cambian sus vehículos viejos por vehículos nuevos de mayor rendimiento de consumo de combustible. Legisladores comenzaron el programa, oficialmente llamado Sistema de Descuento de Prestación por Vehículos, con un fondo de $1 billón. El dinero fue gastado más rápido de lo esperado. El congreso está considerando añadir otros $2 billones. “Sobretodo, yo creo que hemos excedido las expectaciones de todos, incluyendo de

Brad Ocker obtuvo la primera llamada en Octubre 2008, cuando rancheros de ganado cruzaban el Condado de Moffat para traer sus manadas para pastear durante el verano y comenzaron a contar su ganado. A tres rancheros cerca del Río Little Snake al noroeste del Great Divide les estaba faltando ganado, tanto como 50 cabezas de vacas “Black Angus”. Los sospechosos: ladrones de ganado. Este año, Ocker, inspector de ganado de Colorado para el Condado de Moffat, y Gary Nichols, Sheriff del Condado de Moffat, se están preparando para seguir a cualquier ladrón antes que roben otra vez. Conocido como robo de ganado, esta vida del Viejo Oeste todavía existe en lugares remotos del país, dijo Ocker. “Mientras haya ganado

Algunos vehículos no juntan los requisitos de este programa, y otros juntan los requisitos para un descuento menor de $3,500. La concesionaria de Steinke ha suspendido el programa, así como Cook Chevrolet, Jeep y Subaru. Scott Cook y Cook Chevrolet dijeron que han vendido tres o cuatro vehículos a través del programa “Dinero por Vehículos Viejos” y han tomado depósitos en unos cuantos más. Steamboat Motors también está tomando depósitos. El programa comenzó el 1ro de Julio, pero el gobierno no hizo pública las reglas hasta el 24 de Julio. Las concesionarias entraron en acción para registrarse para el programa y obtener la aprobación, y Cook dijo que uno de sus empleados no pudo localizar a nadie que lo ayudara con las preguntas. “Eso, en el mundo real, es un gran problema, cuando comienzas algo antes que salgan las reglas,” él dijo. Si el hubiese estado administrando el programa, Cook dijo que él hubiera dado las reglas el 1ro de Julio, permitir que las concesionarias opten por el programa y oficialmente haber comenzado el 1ro de Agosto. Steinke también dijo que hubiera dado las reglas antes de comenzar el programa. “La idea detrás de esto es una buena idea,” dijo Cook. “Vamos a tratar de ser Ecológicos, vamos a tratar de deshacernos de algunos de los vehículos con poca eficiencia de combustible y que causan polución por otros vehículos más eficientes en el kilometraje…. Simplemente no tenían la estructura para poder llevarlo a cabo.” De acuerdo a una historia de la Prensa Asociada, el Líder Mayor del Senado Harry Reid señaló el martes que el Senado votó para extender el programa antes que los senadores se vayan a casa el viernes. La Casa Blanca advirtió que el programa podría terminar el viernes si el Senado no añade $2 billones a él. “Las concesionarias disponen de los vehículos, y eso significa dejar inútil el motor y enviar los vehículos a la compañías de salvamento en las zonas bajas de la montaña,” dijo Steinke. Cook dijo que ha suspendido el programa en parte por que la Asociación Nacional de Concesionarios de Vehículos (NADA, por sus siglas en inglés) ha hecho eso.

New addition for Summer 2009: Steamboat All Arts Festival As a year-round resort destination, the Steamboat Springs community works extremely hard to deliver memorable guest experiences and to create a wonderful place for locals to call home. Winter, spring, summer or fall, Steamboat Springs is an unbelievable place to live, work and play. As the driving force behind Steamboat in the Summertime, the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association is the community organization responsible for summer advertising campaigns (broadcast media and outdoor), promotional materials including brochures and vacation planners, online marketing and Web site efforts (www.steamboatsummer. com), community public relations campaigns (news releases, press kits, interviews, hosting media) and serves as the community contact for TV and film productions. Along with these various marketing efforts, the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association is also the producer of Steamboat in the Summertime Signature Events. The Steamboat Marathon, Cowboys’ Roundup Days Fourth of July Parade and Cattle Drive, Hot Air Balloon Rodeo and the Wild West Air Fest Labor Day Celebration are organized by the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association. New to the Steamboat in the Summertime program for 2009 is the highly anticipated Steamboat All Arts Festival. As the newest and most collaborative event in Steamboat Springs, this four-day event will highlight the amazing arts and culture of the Yampa Valley while featuring nationally-renowned artists from a variety of mediums. The festival will incorporate

all aspects of the arts into one cohesive event including musical, visual, vocal, dance, literary and culinary arts. “Steamboat Springs is known for its outdoor adventure and incredible winter seasons, but there is a hidden gem of an arts community that continues to garner national attention,” said Sandy Evans Hall, executive vice president of the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association. “The Steamboat All Arts Festival is an opportunity for us to showcase the up and coming arts community in our valley, as well as share diverse art forms from across the nation.” The Chamber understands that arts, especially the fine arts, are motivators for potential visitors. By packaging a stunning location such as Steamboat Springs with a diverse collection of artists and mediums, the Steamboat All Arts Festival will appeal to all niches. “We recognize there are many generations of art lovers that span the ages,” Evans Hall says. “We created the Steamboat All Arts Festival to reach out to young professionals through retirees to introduce and educate them on new art forms as well as highlight the classics. We are thrilled with this first All Arts Festival, and we look forward to growing this event in years to come.” Summer 2009 has been and continues to be an exciting and challenging undertaking for the Chamber’s Special Events department. In addition to the six previously established Signature Events, two new events are being added to the schedule: the Steamboat All Arts Festival (Aug. 20 to 23) and the Steamboat OktoberWest (Sept. 18 to 20). The experiential aspects of the Steamboat All Arts Festival

��

are the daily workshops taught and presented by professionals within their respective areas. The experiential workshops are aimed to get festival spectators engaged and involved with the event and to create lasting memories. This component encourages participants to not just look and watch, but also to explore and be a part of the festival. A complete workshop schedule can be found at www.steamboatallartsfestival. com. Along with the Avett Brothers concert, Design District Downtown Stroll, George Winston Concert, special performance by the Steamboat Springs Orchestra, Film & Feast with Dori Weiss and nightly Sips & Sweets at participating restaurants, festival-goers can look forward to the Yampa River Art Stroll, which has been dubbed “the heart of the Steamboat All Arts Festival.” The quality of artists who are taking part in the Yampa River Art Stroll prove to be a true testament to the excellence that will be on display. Steamboat Springs artist and sculptor Sandy Graves is one of many local artists that will exhibit her work at the festival. “I decided to participate in the inaugural Steamboat All Arts Festival because I believe it is a very tasteful event that blends many mediums that are culturally accessible in Steamboat Springs but not always available at one time,” Graves said. “My instinct is that with how diverse the event’s fine arts lineup is (culinary, dance, vocal, etc.) that the Steamboat All Arts Festival will quickly become one of the premiere outdoor summer art events in the state, if not the country.” The Steamboat All Arts Festival encourages all to go beyond the canvas and explore the opportunities.

On Thursday, board members will discuss goals for the 200910 school year, which begins Aug. 24. Both days of the workshop take place in the boardroom of the George P. Sauer Human Services Center on Seventh Street. At 5 p.m., board members will hear 20-minute reports from Dennis Freeman, Routt County’s School Safety and Security Task Force manager; Anne Muhme, the district’s human resources director; Dale Mellor, finance director; Tim Miles, technology

Consent agenda items include votes to approve a renewal of the Intergovermental Agreement with Routt County for the November election, and setting a date to become compliant with the National Incident Management System, which is required by state law. The day’s session is scheduled to adjourn at 8 p.m. Board members will reconvene with Superintendent Shalee Cunningham from 9 a.m. to

Developers previously said they’d be willing to split the $25 million estimated cost of a new 600-student capacity kindergarten through eighthgrade school in west Steamboat to meet the demand of a projected 400 new students and $5 million expansion to the high school. Cunningham said she has continued to work with the developers, including a meeting Tuesday morning. “We’re really working well together and close to an agreement,” she said. “We have a negotiating session (today) which I think will be our last.” Cunningham added that board members could vote to approve an agreement with the developers at an Aug. 24 School Board meeting.

County will learn about grant next year est turns. Draper said the work would improve conditions for motorists, cyclists, ranchers and even county snowplows. “That five miles pretty much beats our equipment to death,” he said. The Routt County Board of Commissioners hopes to use a $20 million grant available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to pay for the remainder of the project. Ideally, the grant would have paid for the entire project, but a provision in the $787 billion federal economic stimulus bill requires money to be spent within three years of its enactment, or by Feb. 17, 2012. Although that leaves enough time to complete the two-summer construction project, county staff said the deadline is impossible to meet unless rights of way are secured in advance. So the commissioners were faced with the difficult decision of whether to spend the $1

million before the county finds out next year whether it has won the grant. While purchasing the rights of way prepares the county to eventually carry out the project in any case, a federal process required by the grant for acquiring the rights of way costs $200,000 to $300,000 more than the county’s usual process. The commissioners voted, 21, on Tuesday to take a risk. “I think it is time for Routt County to commit to this project,” Commissioner Nancy Stahoviak said. “The way to show that commitment is to spend some money.” Mike Ratliff, representing the Stagecoach Property Owners Association, said residents in the growing bedroom community off C.R. 14 would be willing to take long detours if needed to see the project completed. “We’d be willing to work with the county,” he said, “especially if we could get that road fixed.” Commissioner Doug Monger

voted against spending the money. He said he didn’t have much confidence that the project would win the grant because selection criteria for it would favor metropolitan areas that could more easily prove outcomes such as “contributing to the economic competitiveness of the United States.” “I think there’s a snowball’s chance in hell of us getting this grant,” Monger said. “As far as I’m concerned, this is decorating a pig. … I don’t think we have a lot of fluff here to compete nationally.” Commissioner Diane Mitsch Bush agreed the grant would be very competitive, but she disagreed with Monger’s belief that the C.R. 14 project doesn’t measure up well against the selection criteria. She also said it is an advantageous time to be purchasing property and that if the county ever wants to use federal money to help fix the road, it needs to acquire the rights of way using the more expensive federal process.

A City Council vote on whether to annex Steamboat 700 is scheduled for fall. “I don’t think it’s a bad idea,” Pietras said. “Steamboat is going to grow, and I think (Steamboat 700 is) going to be the future of Steamboat.” Pietras is originally from Massachusetts and moved to Steamboat in 1995. He said his

main motivation for running is to help make decisions that will keep Steamboat a working class town he can continue to live in and that his children can some day live and work in. “I’m a Steamboat guy, and I just want to make sure Steamboat stays Steamboat,” he said. Four out of seven City Council seats are up for election this year. Other candidates who have confirmed their candidacy include incumbent Councilman Walter

Operas, cowboys and steer wrestling don’t normally go hand in hand. But tonight, the heart of the Old West will shine through with a famous Italian opera, performed by the Emerald City Opera Artist Institute for Emerging Singers, of Steamboat Springs.

Mary Karen Solomon, CNCC chairwoman of arts and sciences, said she hopes the performance will act as an introduction to operatic arts in Craig. “I’ve always loved opera, and we need more of an introduction to it here,” she said. “Sometimes it’s kind of expensive, and people might not be able to afford to go.

We want it to be accessible.” To make the show easily received by the Craig and Steamboat Springs audiences, the traditional Italian story — usually set in a small village in the 1700s — was planted in a typical Old West town in the late 1800s. “It has a saloon, ranchers and cowboys,” said Keri Rusthoi, Emerald City Opera artistic director. “There’s lassos and steer wrestling involved. It’s a great comedy.” Rusthoi said the romantic farce is a story of unrequited love and a magic love potion.

Church said during public comment. “Every time this development is asked to do something financially, attainable housing becomes less and less likely.” Some council members agreed, but others said it was irresponsible to accept the fiscal impact model as it was presented Tuesday. “I just don’t want to risk the $53,000 in perpetuity on the back of the people who already

live here,” Councilwoman Meg Bentley said. Bob Weiss, an attorney representing Steamboat 700, cut the debate short with an offer to voluntarily levy an additional property tax in the future Steamboat 700 metro district that would raise $50,000 a year at build-out. Council members unanimously approved the proposal. Council did not require a plan to raise additional funds in earlier years of the development, when the fiscal impact model predicts it may cost the city’s operating budget as much as $200,000 in some years. The fiscal impact model has a margin of error of about $50,000

to $60,000, interim Finance Director Bob Litzau said. With Tuesday’s action, City Council now can take the fiscal impact model off its plate and turn its attention to other components of the annexation. The city and Steamboat 700 still need to finish a similar fiscal impact model for capital costs, and at a meeting later this month, council members will get their first look at a draft of the annexation agreement that would govern the development. Council has scheduled a vote on a final draft of the agreement in the fall. — To reach Brandon Gee call 871-4210 or e-mail bgee@steamboatpilot.com

Climbing area causes worry Pitkin County mulls liability of owning area used by climbers Janet Urquhart THE ASPEN TIMES

ASPEN

��

The liability associated with owning a rock-climbing venue continued to trouble Pitkin County commissioners as they gazed up at rock faces near Aspen on Monday. A landowner has offered the county about 13 acres, including two rocky outcroppings known collectively as Gold Hill, as part of a proposal to amend a prior land-use approval in order to move the location of three unbuilt lots. The lots, part of Red Butte Ranch, are above the terrain between the Rio Grande Trail and McLain Flats, where the Gold Hill rock faces are located. The deal also would turn over to the county a popular ice-climbing spot where a waterfall exists farther down the trail. The county already owns two ice-climbing spots near Redstone — the Drool and Redstone Pillars, according to Dale Will, county director of Open Space and Trails, as well as a popular bouldering area near Redstone. All are on county open space, he said. “There are chalk marks all

The two missing men, whose names have not been released, were last seen at 3:30 p.m. Monday at about 13,500 feet. The summit is 14,005 feet in elevation, and Holy Cross is Eagle County’s highest peak and only 14er. Smith said the men are not residents of the area. The search began shortly before 8 a.m. Tuesday when the hikers did not return to their campsite at Cross Creek at the base of the mountain. Another hiker who was waiting at the campsite called authorities. Vail Mountain Rescue sent two teams into the field on foot with a search and rescue dog. The Eagle County Sheriff’s Office and Vail Mountain Rescue assisted with the rescue operations.

Spread of deadly cattle Pioneer plates don’t require proof STD slowing in state Steven K. Paulson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

The spread of a venereal disease that can cause cows to lose their calves appears to be slowing in Colorado, and state agriculture officials plan to strengthen policies to keep it that way. Trichomoniasis, or “trich,” is of particular concern in the West, where grazing associations and permits for grazing on public land allow cattle to co-mingle. Dozens of Colorado producers were hit with trich last year. Some 43 cattle facilities in 18 counties were quarantined so infected bulls wouldn’t spread the sexually transmitted disease. This year, 13 facilities in eight counties have been quarantined, according to the Colorado Department of Agriculture. Four counties had quarantines as of July 30.

“We are doing better,” said state veterinarian Keith Roehr, citing the quarantines, better education about trich among producers and more testing this year. “There’s a lot of awareness on the part of producers that, in the end, will be beneficial to the cattle industry in Colorado.” Colorado ranked fifth among U.S. cattle-producing states with $3.1 billion in sales of cattle and calves in 2007, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. No vaccines are available to prevent the disease, but using artificial insemination and virgin bulls helps control its spread. Bulls are the main carriers of trichomoniasis and, once infected, remain infected for life, although they show no signs of disease. The disease isn’t harmful to humans who eat infected cattle. But for cattle ranchers who depend on their cows for calves, the disease can be devastating.

DENVER

Want one of those spiffy Colorado pioneer license plates, but you don’t have any pioneers in your family tree? Not to worry, just fork over $50 and you too can be a pioneer. Colorado’s Department of Revenue says it stopped requiring proof from pioneer descendants two years ago after they learned they didn’t have the legal right to demand it. “The department discontinued the background verification process for the pioneer plates in December 2007 after it was brought to staff ’s attention that the state didn’t have the legal authority to require special qualifications for that plate,” department spokesman Mark Couch said. Couch said other plates authorized under the same law included the 10th Mountain Division, Columbine, Adopt a Greyhound, Breast Cancer, Italian American, Air Force

Jurors watched a video of a man on trial in the death of his daughter as he lied to police about her whereabouts hours after he reported her missing. Aaron Thompson reported Aarone Thompson missing in November 2005, two weeks shy of her 7th birthday. Prosecutors say Aarone died in 2003. Thompson told police about how she watched cartoons and ate cereal and cookies the day she went missing. Investigators became suspicious when he couldn’t provide recent pictures of Aarone. Defense attorneys said last week during opening statements that Thompson was trying to cover up Aarone’s death at the hands of his live-in girlfriend, Shely Lowe, who died of heart failure in 2006. Thompson is charged with fatal child abuse.

Sheriff: 16 rounds fired at suspect who was killed LONGMONT

Authorities say police and deputies fired 16 rounds at a Longmont man who was shot and killed after a 20-minute car chase early Monday. Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle said 35-year-old Brian Christopher Naranjo was holding a weapon and had raised his arm and turned toward the police and deputies when they fired. Pelle said the officers fired almost simultaneously. It wasn’t yet known how many times Naranjo was hit. Authorities say Naranjo had been pulled over for a routine stop but sped away when a deputy saw he had a gun. Naranjo’s car came to a stop after a pursuing Longmont officer rammed it. Records show Naranjo has arrests dating to 1992 on charges including child abuse and drug and weapons violations.

Colorado Springs businessman Ron Johnson had filed the complaint after a construction contract for the USOC building was awarded to a company whose chairman was a former client of Rivera’s at UBS Financial Services, where Rivera is a vice president. Rivera called the complaint unfounded. Johnson says he has no regrets about filing the complaint. He says Rivera should have recused himself from the process.

Obama assails health foes President goes on offensive in support of care reform plan

Braced for a fight he never got, President Barack Obama went on the offensive in support of his health care plan Tuesday, urging a town hall audience not to listen to those who seek to “scare and mislead the American people.” “For all the scare tactics out there, what is truly scary is if we do nothing,” Obama told a friendly crowd of about 1,800 in a high school auditorium and a nationwide audience watching on cable television. The White House had been ready for an unruly reception from opponents of overhauling health care. There was no sign of that, perhaps because of the makeup of the day’s crowd or out of traditional deference for the president. Obama’s push came amid a string of disruptive health care town halls nationwide that have overshadowed his message and threatened to derail support in Congress. Indeed, Republicanturned-Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter faced hostile questions,

Some lawmakers, holding forums during Congress’ August recess, have gone so far as to replace public forums with teleconferences or step up security to keep protesters at bay. But the Democratic president faced no outbursts. The encounter was so friendly, in fact, that by the end, Obama was even asking for skeptical questioners to come forward — to no avail. He told his audience reassuringly, “For all the chatter and the yelling and the shouting and the noise, what you need to know is this ... if you do have health

insurance, we will make sure that no insurance company or government bureaucrat gets between you and the care you need.” Retooling his message amid sliding support, he addressed some of his remarks to a vital and skeptical audience: the tens of millions of people who already have health insurance and are generally satisfied with the care they get. He said the overhaul is essential to them, too, contending it is the way to keep control in their hands. Obama said although government bureaucrats should not meddle with people’s care, bureaucrats at insurance companies should not, either. The president accused critics of creating “boogeymen.” “Spread the facts. Let’s get this done,” Obama implored the crowd. The tone was set as soon as Obama arrived. He came in to applause and told one person who shouted support, “I love you back.” One man identified himself as a Republican and said, “I don’t know what I’m doing here.” The Democratic president said he was happy to have him in attendance.

GM: New Volt could get 230 mpg in city THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WARREN, MICH.

General Motors reported Tuesday that its Chevrolet Volt electric car could get 230 mpg in city driving, making it the first American vehicle to achieve triple-digit fuel economy if that figure is confirmed by federal regulators. But when the four-door family sedan hits showrooms late next year, its efficiency will come with a steep sticker price: $40,000. Still, the Volt’s fuel efficiency in the city would be four times more than the popular Toyota Prius hybrid, the most efficient

car now sold in the U.S. Most automakers are working on similar designs, but GM would offer the first mainstream plug-in with the Volt, which seats four and was introduced at the 2007 Detroit auto show. The Volt will join a growing fleet of cars and trucks powered by systems other than internal combustion engines. Unlike the Prius and other traditional hybrids, the Volt is powered by an electric motor and a battery pack with a 40-mile range. After that, a small internal combustion engine kicks in to generate electricity for a total range of 300 miles. The battery pack can be recharged from a

standard home outlet. Hybrids use a small internal combustion engine combined with a high-powered battery to boost fuel efficiency. Toyota’s Prius — which starts at about $22,000 — gets 51 mpg in the city and 48 mpg on the highway. The number of all-electric vehicles available to U.S. consumers remains limited. The Tesla Roadster, a high-end sports car with a range of 224 miles, is perhaps the best known. But its $100,000-plus price tag keeps it out of reach of all but the wealthiest drivers. The company is working on an electric family sedan that will be priced considerably less.

Employers who cut jobs during the past year are in no hurry to start hiring again just because the recession is tapering off. From a North Carolina machine maker to an Oregon heating-and-cooling company, smallbusiness owners say they need to see several months of increasing sales before they start adding staff. Because labor is the biggest expense for most companies, that kind of caution is typical at the end of recessions. After the last one, in 2001, unemployment kept increasing and didn’t peak until June 2003 — 19 months into the economic recovery. This time around, some economists say unemployment may not return to healthy levels until 2013. Companies have been slashing workers’ hours, squeezing more work out of the employees who are left and relying on cheaper temporary staffers to fill the gaps. In North Carolina, a company called Power Curbers, which makes barriers and curbs for subdivisions, is finally breaking even after shedding 35 percent of its staff. The owner, Dyke Messinger, plans no more cuts.

AROUND THE WORLD

Myanmar’s generals again have succeeded in isolating democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, but her fleeting emergence during a grueling trial showed that her steely resolve and charisma remain intact. A Myanmar court on Tuesday convicted the 64-yearold Nobel Peace laureate of violating her house arrest by allowing an uninvited American to stay at her home. Her sentence of three years in prison with hard labor was quickly commuted to 18 months house arrest after an order from the leader of the military-ruled country, Senior Gen. Than Shwe. Suu Kyi has been in detention for 14 of the past 20 years, and the extension will remove her from the political scene next year when the junta holds its first election since 1990. Her party won in the polls then but was never allowed to take power. Her conviction and continued detention were condemned by world leaders and sparked demonstrations in cities from London to Japan. The European Union began preparing new sanctions against the country’s military regime and a group of 14 Nobel Laureates, including the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, called on the U.N. Security Council to take strong action against the country. President Barack Obama termed Suu Kyi’s conviction a violation of “the universal principle of human rights” and said she should be released immediately.

Clinton demands end to sexual violence in Congo GOMA, CONGO

��

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton toured an African refugee camp Tuesday crowded with victims of violence and malnutrition, pledging $17 million in American aid to help stem the tide of rampant sexual abuse that has staggered war-ravaged eastern Congo. Clinton’s voice cracked with emotion as she described an epidemic of rapes that has convulsed the Congo during 10 years of internecine conflict. “We say to the world that those who attack civilian populations using systematic rape are guilty of crimes against humanity,” she said. Clinton toured Magunga Camp, a dust-choked warren of tents and tin-lined huts in eastern Congo that is home to

18,000 men, women and children. Most were uprooted from their villages by the on-again, off-again conflict between Democratic Republic of Congo troops and rebel forces that killed more than 5 million people since 1998. “We believe there should be no impunity for the sexual and gender-based violence committed by so many — that there must be arrests and prosecutions and punishment,” she said during a news conference with Congolese Foreign Minister Alexis Thambwe Mwamba in the eastern city of Goma. At least $10 million of the $17 million pledged by Clinton will be used to train doctors to treat victims of brutal sexual attacks. Some of the funds will also be aimed at preventing abuse.

Pakistan government tries to prove Taliban death ISLAMABAD

Finding and killing Pakistan’s most-wanted militant was a difficult task. Proving his death may be even harder. Most indicators point to Baitullah Mehsud’s death in a CIA missile strike last week, and the U.S. government says it’s “90 percent” sure of it. But the Pakistani and U.S. governments will have a tough time confirming the death because the Taliban control the South Waziristan region, a remote, mountainous tribal area where the drone-fired missile reportedly destroyed the home of Mehsud’s father-inlaw. Although officials initially talked about sending a team to collect DNA from the site, that possibility now looks increasingly dim. “At the moment, it is inaccessible,” military spokesman Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas said Tuesday, adding that a planned ground operation in South Waziristan is still pending while aerial assaults soften up the area by bombing militant targets. In the absence of a body, the Taliban and the Pakistani government have been waging competing propaganda campaigns over the state of the militants’ leadership. Pakistani officials and a rival militant commander at one point suggested that not only was Mehsud dead, but so were his two top deputies — supposedly slain in a shootout over succession. Both deputies later telephoned reporters. Mehsud’s followers insist he’s alive and well.

Brazil police suspect TV host of murder for ratings SAO PAULO, BRAZIL

In one murder after another, the “Canal Livre” TV show had an uncanny knack for being first on the scene, gathering graphic footage of the victim. Too uncanny, say police, who are investigating the show’s host, state legislator and accused drug trafficker Wallace Souza, on suspicion of commissioning at least five of the murders to boost his ratings and prove his claim that Brazil’s Amazon region is awash in violent crime. “The order to execute always came from the legislator and his son, who then alerted the TV crews to get to the scene before the police,” state police intelligence chief Thomaz Vasconcelos charged in an interview. The killings of competing drug traffickers, he said, “appear to have been committed to get rid of his rivals and increase the audience of the TV show.” Souza’s lawyer, Francisco Balieiro, said his client vehemently denies the accusations. Balieiro said political opponents were trying to smear Souza with false accusations, and that the only witness is a disgraced police officer hoping for leniency in nine murders he is charged with.

Typhoon leaves hundreds missing, 70 dead in Taiwan CISHAN, TAIWAN

Military helicopters ferried stricken villagers to safety Tuesday from remote Taiwanese communities hit by Typhoon Morakot that left at least 70 dead, but hundreds were still feared trapped by a torrent of mud and rock that buried their homes. Choppers hovered over affected villages looking for signs of life. While rains were still falling, floodwaters receded Tuesday, and many of the aircraft were landing to send out squads of soldiers to look for survivors, photos released by the military showed. Special forces found more than 900 people who had fled three villages in the south, according to the military. One helicopter crashed into a mountain as it flew on a mission to rescue villagers from the island’s heavily wooded south, which was worst hit by the storm. Disaster official Chen Chung-hsien said it was unclear whether the two pilots and one technician had survived the crash.

Former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue isn’t sure whether he’ll ever live to see a sports world free of performanceenhancing drugs, but he is sure the necessary steps are in place to move toward that goal. Tagliabue — who was the lead NFL man from 1989 to 2006 — is in Steamboat Springs this week as part of the Seminars at Steamboat series. Tagliabue will speak at 5 p.m. Thursday at the Strings Music Pavilion. His talk will look at the history of performance-enhancing drugs, as well as what the future might hold. “In five to 10 years, the problems are still going to be focused on steroids and steroids put into compounds that aren’t labeled,” Tagliabue said Tuesday. But Tagliabue thinks the NFL — along with other major sports entities — is on the right track when it comes to curbing the use of performance-enhancing drugs. When Tagliabue took over for former commissioner Pete Rozelle in 1989, one of the first things he did was make testing random. He also made a first offense a four-game suspension. “When I came in, the education had to start (reaching) players across the full spectrum of sports,” Tagliabue said. “They knew the health effects. It was not just a recreational drug for a guy living in the gym with weights. It could affect performance and extend a career. That was the turning point. ... What we did helped the causes and hopefully trickles down.” The trickle-down effect, Tagliabue said, will in turn hit the high school level. Because testing for performance-enhancing drugs is so expensive and nearly impossible for a school district to do, Tagliabue said stopping See Seminar, page 29

Dodson’s program has dominated the Western Slope for the past five seasons. Steamboat has become one of the premier high school teams in Class 4A, sending teams and individuals to the state tournament every year. “We’ve had a pretty strong program the last five years,” Dodson said. “We’ve accomplished a lot, and we have a winning tradition. This year, we want to enter tournaments,

execute proper shots and turn in good scores.” Steamboat started practice Monday and goes to its first tournament of the year Thursday, at Battlement Mesa.

Todd Helton tripled and singled to extend his hitting streak to 16 games. Ohlendorf (10-8) gave up three runs on six hits, walked two and struck out three in sixplus innings. Jhoulys Chacin, making the first major league start, struggled with his command. Chacin (0-1) gave up one hit but allowed five runs and walked six in 2 2/3 innings. Chacin’s control issues and sloppy fielding by Colorado allowed the Pirates to take the early lead. In the second inning, Ryan Doumit doubled, moved to third on a groundout and scored on a wild pitch that rolled only a few feet from home plate. After Tulowitzki’s 22nd homer tied the game 1-all in the bottom of the second, the Pirates pulled away in the third. McCutchen and Garrett Jones walked, and McCutchen scored on catcher Chris Iannetta’s throwing error on a double steal. After Steve Pearce walked to put runners on the corners, Josh Fogg relieved Chacin and gave up a two-run triple to Delwyn Young. Young scored on Ronny Cedeno’s single to center to make it 5-1.

Tennis coach Don Toy is happy that members of the Steamboat Springs High School tennis teams came out in force for a social tournament during the weekend, but he still isn’t sure about the name of the event. The first Don Toy Mixed Troubles Tennis Tournament featured 15 players from Steamboat Springs High School and 26 adult members of the community, in friendly matches Saturday at the Tennis Center at Steamboat Springs. “The only tennis rules in this tournament had to do with keeping the ball in the rectangle,” Toy said. “I just want to be clear that this was not a memorial tournament — it was more like a nonmemorial tournament.” The event was a collaboration between Kathi Skytta and Toy. The focus was to get the high school players on the court with Steamboat community members. “I think we came up with the idea for the tournament together,” Skytta said. “But the name, well we were just having some fun with Don.” Skytta said nobody really kept an official score in the tournament and that teams swapped courts and opponents each set. In most cases, the high school players were teamed up with community members, but in a few cases, high school players went head to head with community members. “It was a good time,” said Vladen Chase, who will be a senior with the Steamboat

Sure enough, a flashy receiver named Brandon with a knack for making tough catches and evading tacklers is turning heads at the Denver Broncos’ training camp. But the man making new quarterback Kyle Orton feel right at home is Brandon Stokley, not Pro Bowler Brandon Marshall. While Marshall makes all his news off the field — he’s asked for a raise and a trade and skipped offseason workouts in protest of his contract and medical treatment — Stokley has established himself as Orton’s top target. Day after day they hook up for big plays, Stokley hauling in tough passes over the middle one minute and touch passes in the end zone the next. “We really worked hard this offseason to get on the same page, and when we came out to

training camp, we were kind of a step ahead of everybody else,” Stokley said. “And I think it’s showing that we put in a lot of work in this offseason.” Stokley acted unlike Marshall, who worked out on his own in Florida after recovering from hip surgery rather than participate in the team’s offseason training program and mandatory minicamp. Marshall made it clear when he reported to training camp that he was only doing so to avoid the $15,888 daily fines he otherwise would have faced. But is Marshall, who will make $2.2 million this season, an “unofficial holdout”? He’s missed every practice since pulling up lame while running a deep route Aug. 2.

New coach Josh McDaniels doesn’t talk about injuries and won’t allow his hurt players to attend practice, two policies that have helped fuel speculation about Marshall’s status. McDaniels tried to dampen the notion that Marshall was either seriously injured or dogging it this week when he said he was confident his recalcitrant receiver will be ready for the regular season. “Mentally, he’s in all the meetings, he sees all the film sessions, sees all the corrections, so I’m not concerned with that, we still have over a month left for that to come into the fold,” McDaniels said. Stokley was listed as a starter on the team’s first depth chart Monday, along with receivers Eddie Royal and Jabar Gaffney on the outside, and Marshall was listed as a second-stringer.

Tagliabue: You want to educate everybody Seminar continued from 27 steroids at the high school level and below means educating students, coaches and administrators. “You want to educate everybody, not just pro athletes,” he said. “Some studies show 30 percent of high school students who use steroids are not athletes.

Tiger Woods used to say it was only a great year if he won a major. He has one shot left at the PGA Championship, yet he already has rendered his verdict. “It’s been a great year either way,” Woods said Tuesday. He already has five victories on the PGA Tour, pushing his career total Woods to 70 last week at Firestone.

Nicklaus and Walter Hagen with five victories in the PGA Championship. For the first time, Woods is ending a threeweek stretch of competition at a major. What makes him a heavy favorite, besides his obvious skill, is winning the past two times he has played. He played a final practice round Tuesday morning, and found the full measure of Hazeltine at 7,674 yards and a par 72. Walking along the fairways, he couldn’t help notice pitch marks in the grass, evidence of the soft conditions from weekend rain. The 12th hole is now 518 yards, matching the longest par 4 in PGA Championship history. Woods belted a driver down the fairway, and still needed every bit of a 3-iron to get to the green.

SEC, Gators try to keep title in house ��

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

The road to the national title game has run through the Southeastern Conference recently. So while perfection would be nice for Tim Tebow and Florida, it’s not necessarily necessary. And the Gators know it. “Our goal is to win the SEC championship,” Tebow said. “That’s our ultimate goal. We feel like if we’re the champions of the best conference in college football, then we should have the opportunity to play for it all.” Tebow and the Gators have won national championships

two of the past three seasons after losing a game and are the team to beat again in 2009. Two years ago, SEC rival LSU won the BCS title with not one but two defeats. Even with Tebow back for his senior season — along with the entire starting defense — winding up at the top of the treacherous SEC won’t likely be any easier this go around. While the Gators are the prohibitive favorites to win the national championship, Alabama, LSU and Mississippi — the last team to beat Florida — and Georgia will all start the season highly ranked.

Alabama coach Nick Saban won a share of the national title with LSU in 2003 with a 13-1 record. He said it takes “great competitive character” to win the league. Tebow certainly has that as anyone knows who has seen sideline shots on TV of him firing up his teammates. Then there’s consistency. There’s seldom a good time for a bad game. “You cannot be up and down, or you’re not gonna sustain it in our league,” Saban said. The Gators have Tebow with the usual array of dangerous weapons on offense. Middle linebacker Brandon Spikes, also back for his senior year, leads the defense.

Gunderson and Scott Ptach, the key to the season will be finding a player to fill in that final spot on the varsity roster. “Right now we have a bunch of people fighting for the final spots,” said Skyler Martin, who along with Patrick Weston and Rylan Laszewski are three of the top guys battling for that final position. “I just want to stay calm and not worry about it too much and focus on my game.” Although a final roster probably won’t be decided on until the weeks leading up to the regional tournament Sept. 22, Dodson said he always welcomes the competition. He said although he has three returning varsity players, their spots aren’t assured. While he mentioned Martin, Weston and Laszewski as three potential varsity players, he said there are still guys that could chal-

lenge them. “I don’t want these guys to get comfortable with their place on the team,” Dodson said. “I like competition. I want them to be battling to keep their position on the team, and I want the others to be battling to take those spots away from them.” Montrose and Cortez are expected to be Steamboat’s toughest competition this year. The Sailors probably won’t know where they stand until next week when the team travels to Grand Junction, for a tournament with many top teams.

Still, Steamboat should have several advantages. The Sept. 22 regional tournament will be held at Haymaker Golf Course, giving the Sailors home course advantage. The team also hosts its invitational Sept. 9 at Haymaker. “We’d like to be peaking for regionals,” Dodson said. ‘We’ve got an advantage that hopefully we can take advantage of with it here at Haymaker.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

blues, with Lightnin’ Hopkins and other country blues artists pouring out of her father’s record player. After she’d picked up the guitar and started playing the blues, Tedeschi discovered the electric Chicago style, and she’s been moving toward those kinds of powerful, guitarlick-driven songs ever since. “They were so melodic, and they were singing just so incredible, they were singing to me something like Aretha (Franklin) or Otis Redding would sing,” Tedeschi said in AMBER MEAIRS/COURTESY 2008. “And then I went out on tour with B.B.

Make ski area trail maps with large print Palmer continued from 2 In the past 24 hours, we have received 12 inches of Vegemite … oops, I mean 12 inches of Champagne Powder. G’on now, get up out of bed mate, and get on over to the gondola.” ■ Press 3 to hear the ski report in Texan: “Morning, y’all. Y’all, I can see some of this white stuff falling, and it’s colder than a blue norther. I suggest y’all have a breakfast burrito, go shopping and then if it stops snowing, y’all can come on out to ski. But wait until they groom the 12 inches of snow that fell.” ■ Press 4 to hear the ski report in Local: “Dude … I’m already up here. I’ve tracked up the trees, man. Bummer for you. I’m not telling you where my secret powder stash is, but if you get up here you can find 12 inches of fresh pow on your own. C-ya.” 3. Put Port-A-Potties by the

gondola entrance. 4. Lift operators double as Match.com agents. They need to wear buttons that read, “Make a love connection today.” 5. The Four Points Hut needs to be renamed “The Social Networking Zone.” Here skiers can send mobile uploads to their Facebook and MySpace pages while tweeting their friends back home. 6. Divert the water intended for Steamboat 700 to Ski Time Square. Flood the empty area and create an outdoor skating rink, serve hot cocoa and roasted chestnuts. Or change the site of Steamboat 700 to Ski Time Square. No more worry about water; no more worry about annexation. Or transform Ski Time Square into Red Rocks II, a beautiful outdoor amphitheater with stunning views of Mount Werner. 7. Get rid of the singles line and make it a locals line. To prove you are a local, bring cop-

ies of W-2s showing you held down six jobs during the last ski season and still managed to ski 99 days. 8. Make hat-hair stations at the base filled with state-of-theart hair products to volumize your hair so you can après ski without helmet hair. 9. Install Mapquest stations at every lift so visitors can get directions to Wally World downloaded to their PDA and stop annoying lift operators and ski patrollers with direction requests. 10. Rename the yurt “The Cell Phone Zone,” where skiers can charge their phones, demo a different type of phone, or make a call without running the risk of dropping their phone off the chair lift or stopping in the middle of a run to answer a phone call. 11. AARP-sponsored stations strategically located around the base area provide trail maps for the over-50 crowd, with LARGE PRINT.
