Tax a campaign issue

Obama makes it personal President in state speaking about health care reform Liz Sidoti

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GRAND JUNCTION

President Barack Obama invoked his own anguish about the death of a loved one as he challenged the debunked notion that Democratic efforts to overhaul the nation’s health care would include “death panels.” “I just lost my grandmother last year. I know what it’s like to Obama watch somebody you love, who’s aging, deteriorate and have to struggle with that,” an impassioned Obama told a crowd as he spoke about Madelyn Payne Dunham. He took issue with “the notion that somehow I ran for public office or members of Congress are in this so they can go around pulling the plug on grandma.” “When you start making arguments like that, that’s simply dishonest — especially when I hear the arguments coming from members of Congress in the other party who, turns out, sponsored similar provisions,” Obama said. In a debate in which he often sounds professor-like, Obama spoke with a rare bit of emotion that seemed to counter that of vocal health care opponents as he referenced the beloved grandmother who helped raise him and who he called “Toot.” She died of cancer at age 86 on Nov. 2, two days before he won election to become the nation’s first African-American president. He talked about her death while answering a question about misinformation being spread about Democratic health care efforts during a town hall style gathering in a high school gymnasium. “Health care is really hard. This is not easy. I’m a reasonably dedicated student to this See Protests, page 7A

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

One of the thorniest political matters of 2008 is resurfacing as a campaign issue for the 2009 Steamboat Springs City Council election. Last fall, City Council conMATT STENSLAND/STAFF sidered an ordinance that would The One Steamboat Place project at the base of Steamboat Ski Area had a have prevented city accountants building-use tax deposit of $2.9 million that has not been reconciled. from collecting what they esti-

mated was $4.6 million owed to them by construction contractors. The ordinance concerned a city Finance Department plan to begin requiring reconciliations of building-use tax deposits collected in conjunction with construction permits. A 1991 ordinance gave the city the right to require such reconciliations, but the provision had never been enforced. On March 10, 2008, city offi-

cials sent their first letter to all holders of open building permits informing them that they would be required to reconcile their building-use tax payments beginning June 2, 2008. The reconciliations were to apply to all open building permits issued in the previous three years and all permits going forward. Construction contractors arSee Use tax, page 8A

Calf riders test grips at fair Theo Hansen, Kaiden Decker walk away with top times at event

yler Boyer bounded up after a brief calf ride Saturday, rushing out the arena gate and throwing his fists up in an elbows-bent superhero pose. The Hayden 9year-old competed in the STORY BY Routt County BLYTHE TERRELL Fair’s first youth calf riding event. Tyler participated in the 8- to 10-year-old division, the group that rode bucking steers. The 11- to 14-year-old group rode bucking bull calves. Seven children rode calves Saturday afternoon. “It was hard,” Tyler said after he was safely out of the arena. “I forgot to put my feet out in front of me.” But he said he’d do it again “any day,” and wound up getting a chance at a second goround Saturday. It was “a lot better this time,” Tyler said. “I actually put my knees out in front of me and squeezed hard.” Theo Hansen, of Steamboat Springs, won the younger division and has a chance to compete again today. He can forfeit his time and ride again or keep Saturday’s time of 2.8 seconds.

SUNDAY FOCUS

MATT STENSLAND/STAFF

Thirteen-year-old Kaiden Decker, of Hayden, rides a bull Saturday during the Routt County Fair calf riding competition. His ride lasted 3.89 seconds.

Theo, 9, said he’s gone to the Steamboat rodeo and always wanted to be a bull rider. Still, getting onto a bull was nerve-racking. “Right when I got in the chute, I was like, ‘I can’t believe

I’m doing this,’” Theo said. “I was freaked out.” Theo’s parents weren’t thrilled about his riding again today. Fair Manager Jill Delay also wasn’t thrilled about the calf

riding. But people had requested that the event be added to the fair schedule, so Delay said organizers decided to try it out. Rain delayed the mutton bustin’ event before the calf riding, so the riders were more than an

hour behind schedule. That might have numbed the enthusiasm for a few participants — several decided not to hop on the back of a See Fair, page 7A

NEWSPAPER

Springs resident, said that when he got a call informing him that his order was ready to pick up, from a chain home improvement store in California he had never visited, he jumped into action. That was in April. On Wednesday, after months of investigation by the Steamboat Springs Police Department and months of credit monitoring by Wening, a suspect in the case appeared in Routt County Court.

Lawrence Lee Chiles, 66, is accused of using Wening’s driver’s license number and his Social Security number to open store accounts and place orders in California. After hearing that an order in Wening’s name for several thousand dollars worth of goods was ready to be picked up, Wening immediately got on the phone and started the process of notifying all the credit card agencies he uses, the three credit bureaus

and local police. It took Wening 60 to 80 hours to file all the reports and put the credit locks on his accounts. “We’ve always been real careful about shredding data,” he said. “You don’t leave that information around, especially Social Security numbers.” As he notified each of the credit agencies and the com-

A wind-turbine maker lured by Colorado’s tax incentives will relocate its headquarters to Denver from Portland, Ore., Gov. Bill Ritter and Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper said Friday. REpower USA’s Denver office initially will employ 25 relocating or new workers. The staff is expected to double within the next year. The company is a subsidiary that sells turbines made by the German firm REpower Systems AG. It is the second firm to take advantage of a new state program that gives tax credits to relocating companies.

Andy Kurtz Horsemanship here this summer after moving back to the Steamboat Springs area last year. He trains horses and leads horsemanship clinics at the Kurtz Ranch off Routt County Road 129. Kurtz is training a colt for Shoemaker and teaching her to work cows. “It’s really fun,” she said. “It’s an adrenaline rush.” Kurtz, Shoemaker and Beth Trujillo, whose colt Kurtz is training, kicked up dust in the outdoor arena Friday morning. Kurtz’s body moved in concert with his roan stallion as he backed up Shoemaker and demonstrated the exercises. “Man, what a piece of junk,” Kurtz exclaimed in disgust as a cow bolted away from Shoemaker and back to the herd. “It’s really tough when you have cows like this that don’t help you, that just run you over.” But Kurtz, a lean cowboy with a Grand Canyon grin, loves showing horses. His ideal show is the National Reined Cow Horse Association’s Snaffle Bit Futurity, which includes cow events as well as sliding competitions for horses. “It kind of combines all the performance events, which is why I like it,” Kurtz said.

SUNDAY FOCUS

“I love seeing that look on people’s faces when they’re working at something Andy Kurtz and working Horsemanship at something, trainer and the light bulb turns on and it clicks.”

Building relationships Kurtz was born and raised in Steamboat and graduated from Steamboat Springs High School in 1998. After graduating from California Polytechnic State University in 2003, Kurtz rode saddle broncs at rodeos professionally for three years. He moved on in winter 2006, after a shoulder injury, and started training horses. Kurtz worked in Texas and Arizona before returning to Steamboat in October 2008. He’d like to narrow his business to clinics and showing his horses instead of training others, but Kurtz said he needed to become more established first. Sherry Reed attended a three-day women’s clinic Kurtz put on this summer. Reed, who lives near the Kurtzes, bought her 4-year-old horse, Rio, from the Kurtz Ranch a year ago. She’s taken a few clinics this year and said she was pleased with Kurtz’s style. “He took advantage of the fact that we were kind of aggressive ladies, I guess, or not really aggressive but not afraid and willing to be worked hard, willing to be criticized, willing to be told what you’re doing right and wrong,” Reed said. Female riders are different from male because they’re usually more intuitive, Kurtz said. They don’t need to be taught how to bond with the horse. “What we work on with the women is being effective when they’re working with their horse and getting what they need, how to do it in a manner that’s gentle and positive,” he said. Kurtz is planning more clinics for September, as well as a workshop with Regina Wendler that will combine English and Western styles. He hopes to rent an indoor arena to keep Andy Kurtz Horsemanship running through winter.

Congress approved the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 a year ago, lowering the acceptable amount of lead in children’s products. Further restrictions for lead content went into effect Friday. “CPSC’s laws and regulations apply to anyone who sells or distributes consumer products,” states a handbook for resale stores and product resellers. “This includes thrift stores, consignment stores, charities and individuals holding yard sales and flea markets.” As of Feb. 10, no children’s product could be sold if it contained more than 600 parts per million of lead. On Friday, that limit dropped to 300 parts per million. It’s set to fall to 100 parts per million Aug. 14, 2011, “if technologically feasible.” New products are to come with a label ensuring their safety, but resale shops sometimes are left guessing.

Kurtz cuts a cow off from the herd while training a colt Friday at the Kurtz Ranch.

Kurtz said he enjoyed watching people build relationships with their horses. “I love seeing that look on people’s faces when they’re working at something and working at something, and the light bulb turns on and it clicks,” he said. At the session Reed attended, Kurtz provided constructive criticism without making the riders feel bad, she said. “Andy seems to have a really good knack for communicating with the horse and also communicating with the rider,” Reed said. Kurtz wasn’t involved in Rio’s training on the ranch, she said. But Reed was confident in his abilities on the back of a horse. “Let me put it this way,” she said, “he’s got the disposition that I think you need to have to be a really successful horse trainer, and he’s got the skills to be a really good clinician, and those are different.” — To reach Blythe Terrell, call 871-4234 or e-mail bterrell@steamboatpilot.com

The mob is destroying democracy

OUR VIEW

Fiscal neutrality could be costly

uesday’s Steamboat Springs City Council discussion and ultimate acceptance of a fiscal impact model for Steamboat 700 illustrates a fundamental problem with the West of Steamboat Springs Area Plan and the goal of fiscal neutrality. In our effort to protect existing residents from bearing AT ISSUE Fiscal neutrality any financial burden related to west Steamboat development and Steamboat and annexation, we are in danger 700 of creating an adjacent, secondclass community where our work force is expected to find attainable OUR VIEW housing while being taxed at douStriking ble the rate for that opportunity. balance Further, the very affordability between of homes in Steamboat 700 is public affected by the increased tax rate benefit and that will be imposed on residents and businesses there. And if fiscal impact attainable housing is one of, if not is no easy the most, significant public bentask. efits and goals of west Steamboat development, perhaps the community needs to be willing to bear some of the costs of such growth. The City Council has demonstrated a commitment to making sure Steamboat 700 achieves fiscal neutrality. On Tuesday, during a discussion of the proposed master-planned community’s operational fiscal impact, Councilwoman Meg Bentley made a motion to reject the impact model on the grounds that it showed an annual operating deficit of about $50,000 at build-out. Councilman Steve Ivancie seconded the motion before Steamboat 700 attorney Bob Weiss jumped in with a proposal: an additional metro district tax for Steamboat 700 residents that would raise $50,000 a year once build-out was complete. The council unanimously approved the proposal. At face value, the additional tax burden for future Steamboat 700 residents seems appropriate, if not deserved. But taken in the context of the mounting taxes facing those residents, it raises serious questions about whether the goal of fiscal neutrality runs counter to one of the fundamental goals of west Steamboat growth — namely, the creation of attainable and affordable housing for our work force. As the demands placed on the developers increase, that goal becomes less and less achievable. When the West of Steamboat Springs Area Plan was updated in 2006, one of the primary goals was to ensure the plan was in fact achievable — particularly as it relates to the creation of affordable and attainable housing. But one of the plan’s other key goals sets up an inherent conflict: to “ensure that the fiscal impacts on the citizens of Steamboat Springs are minimized and the benefits to the community are commensurate with or greater than the costs to the community.” How, as a community, do we quantify the benefits of affordable and attainable housing? Most Steamboat Springs residents agree that the community’s character is one of its most appealing attributes. That character is grounded in our small-town feel and the fact many of our teachers, food servers, police officers and store clerks, for example, work and live within city limits. A common fear shared by residents here is that Steamboat will become the next Aspen or Vail, where exorbitant home prices and limited growth areas have pushed the working class down valley. The result is less vibrant towns and increased sprawl and traffic. We certainly don’t want to put the noose around the necks of existing city residents, but we, as a community, must consider the ultimate goal of smart, planned growth, and whether our reluctance to foot the bill for any of it jeopardizes exactly what we hope to preserve.

FOR THE PILOT & TODAY

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The water issue

What wasn’t reported

I believe the article concerning water in the Aug. 9 Pilot & Today (“Steamboat 700 water issues complicated”) missed the point. As a council member, I was not at all moved by 700’s argument that the water dedication issue was brought up too late in the process and that’s why dedication of water rights should not be required of Steamboat 700. The timing issue was a meaningless point to me. The City Council’s duty is to make sure the proverbial bases are covered — no matter how “late” in the process they are discussed — especially when it comes to water, which in my opinion is the most important long-term issue that will face all Western communities that are experiencing growth. The reason I believe the City Council voted unanimously to require the $960,000 payment by Steamboat 700 for firming of water rights is because Steamboat, unlike Minturn, has been planning for its future growth for decades. Steamboat has the extra water necessary to accommodate growth, and Minturn does not. Additionally, the growth that is anticipated in west Steamboat is attainable and affordable housing necessary for smart growth — not multimillion-dollar mansions and golf courses (like Minturn), and each cost that is unnecessarily added to annexation only works to drive the cost of housing higher, thus working against the goals of the West of Steamboat Springs Area Plan. Even without an annexation, Steamboat must work on its future water needs. While Steamboat does have plenty of “wet” water (step 1) to allow for future smart growth, it has not “perfected” (step 2) those wet water rights, so the water can actually be used. With or without annexation, we need to get started on the legal work necessary to perfect our wet water rights, both so we can accommodate internal growth and to put redundancy into our existing system. If there is a forest fire in the Fish Creek basin, the majority of our currently perfected (and delivered to our homes) water could be temporarily contaminated, and our Yampa River wells are not sufficient to serve the existing population during peak summer demand. With or without the $960,000 that Steamboat 700 will be required to pay if annexation is approved, we will need to find the money to pay for perfection of our community’s water rights.

The Aug. 5 Steamboat Today editorial (“Alliance response leaves more questions”) states that the Community Alliance of the Yampa Valley “has fallen short in its reply” to the Pilot & Today’s investigation of Dr. Steve Aigner’s presentation at Iowa State University. I agree. This situation started with the July 24 article about the Iowa presentation. Steve told the Community Alliance board that there was nothing in his presentation that should concern us. We believed him and assumed the matter would fade away. Now two weeks later, with the Pilot & Today’s prodding, the issue still boils. I now must clarify what Steve actually said and point out how the Pilot & Today has emphasized 70 seconds of comments while ignoring the remaining 60 minutes of content. I will restate what our president, Jack White, has already said: At no time has the Community Alliance supported an anti-growth position. We always arrive at our positions on development and strategy through consensus at our board and growth committee meetings. That leads me to believe that Steve overestimates the no-growth contingent among our members. Steve does say “the Community Alliance has always fought growth.” This statement is only partially true. The Community Alliance of the Yampa Valley has always fought growth ... which does not meet the intent of the community’s stated goals. These goals are codified in the Steamboat Springs Area Community Plan and created though extensive public participation. There also have been many growth projects that the Community Alliance did not protest because they met the intent of these plans. The Pilot & Today claims Steve “received inside information from a Routt County commissioner.” This is not true. In one sentence Steve does state that he “received information about what goes on inside the courthouse.” All county commissioner business is done in the courthouse, including public hearings. The Community Alliance does not have the resources to attend every meeting in our community. It is gracious of public officials to update us on those poorly reported sessions. Elsewhere, Steve does state that he received “inside information.” Nowhere does he say that information is from a county commissioner. That should address the main concerns raised by the Pilot & Today. What concerns me is what the

Cari Hermacinski

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Pilot & Today chose to not tell us about this presentation. They did not tell us about his statement that the Community Alliance’s main goal is “to make sure we do not grow so fast that we lose our community character.” That comment along with his quote of the Community Alliance’s actual mission statement goes a long way to describing the real agenda of our organization, not the one sentence the chose to emphasize. The Pilot & Today also failed to mention Steve’s discussion of Vision 2030, specifically that 36 percent of respondents said “preserving the character of community” was a top concern. These types of responses are the foundation of the Community Alliance’s efforts. Finally, the Pilot & Today felt it was unimportant that Steve mentioned his efforts “to get people to think more civilly about dialogue.” Anyone that has watched the full 62-minute presentation would agree that there was marginal public benefit to the newspaper’s sensationalism. But somehow this story merited placement on the cover of the Friday issue, the most-read issue of the week. Could it be that the Pilot & Today is not the balanced public institution it claims to be?

VICE PRESIDENT, COMMUNITY ALLIANCE OF THE YAMPA VALLEY

Giving thanks I wish to thank the City Council members for their considerable time, contemplation and decision-making abilities on our major issues. This can be a thankless, largely volunteer job with much consternation. I wish to thank the city and county staff, and the many committees and groups for their tireless efforts to keep making our community great. I want to thank our past and future council members, and the many others who provide forethought, expert analysis, experience and wisdom. I am particularly thankful for those individuals and organizations who put themselves out there — take the flack — and persevere on issues they are passionate about. Recently, Ken Brenner for recreational water rights — how cool is it to be able to kayak, tube and fish the Yampa River downtown? Thanks to Jack Taylor for pushing for tourism dollars — who helps pay for all of our great amenities? I am thankful for the second-home owners that have chosen to be a part of this community with their See Letters, page 5A

Last fall, I knocked on the doors of thousands of voters from across Colorado and had dozens upon dozens of conversations with these people about many issues. These dialogues were an opportunity for me to hear the ideas of those who disagreed with me and have a civil, genuine debate on the future of the country. I must have been incredibly naïve, because after the election, I assumed, based on my hundreds of debates at front doors and on the phone with voters, that we were capable in this country of having an active say in our government through civil discourse. Our congressmen and congresswomen are sent to Washington to represent and promote the views of their constituents. That is the very reason congressmen hold town hall meetings. These forums are as close to representative democracy that an average citizen can get. Our congressmen want to hear from their constituents. That is why no person and no opinion is barred from these meetings. In essence, they are the definition of democracy. However, what we have seen in the past few weeks regarding these events has been disgusting. Health care is a concern that has, and will continue to have, an effect on every single citizen of this country. On those merits, debate is essential. But this is not a debate. The mob-mentality to which thousands have resorted when attending these town halls is, in every way, un-democratic. We all know that yelling, disrupting and being completely rude in public is unproductive and not acceptable. We all learned that in kindergarten. I attended one of these events early this month in Denver at the state Capitol. As I ventured down from a pro-reform group to those on the other side of the debate, I witnessed a young man, maybe 17 years old, yelling at an older woman who disagreed with him. The kid, who proudly donned a T-shirt with a picture of President Barack Obama that read: “Hitler gave great speeches too,” was yelling “socialist” and “you are a brown coat” at this woman. Since when has that behavior become acceptable? Those against health insurance overhaul will claim that what I saw was an isolated incident and should not be taken as representation of the “anti-reform” movement. This, however, is just not true and to say otherwise shows ignorance toward the facts. Not only did I see more swastika signs comparing Obama to Hitler a day later at a rally outside of Rep. Betsy Markey’s office in Fort Collins, but even worse displays of fear-mongering have shown up across America. A congressman was hanged in effigy with the proSee Roberts, page 5A

Health care rebuttal Lynn, your statistics are way off base (Letter to the editor: “Health care reform,” Aug. 12, Steamboat Today). Cancer survival rates are way higher here in the U.S. compared to elsewhere. And I can’t believe your statement about bacterial infections, which run absolutely rampant in British public hospitals. And those standards that you allude to as to whether we have the best health care are based on health insurance coverage, not the actual health care.

and pay our doctors out of pocket as opposed to paying their own doctors out of pocket? And if you do not believe the government will ration health care, then why did Obama say awhile back that it might be better for someone to take pain medication than to have another operation or other procedure? I think our forefathers were right: Our health care is none of the government’s business. The government has interfered long enough in the health care market. The answer lies in getting them out, not giving them more power. The answer is in spurring more competition by allowing us to purchase health insurance across state lines. The public option is not competition as one entity can make all the rules and throw good money after bad endlessly regardless of how well-run the program is. The answer is to stop mandating benefits on insurance companies, which drives up the costs. The answer is to stop forcing hospitals to care for those without insurance, thus driving up costs. Yes, we do need reform. But the Obama plan is not about health care; it’s about power and control. Otherwise they would not be trying to stuff it down our throats. He also would stop blaming special interest groups for opposing his plan when his own special inter-

est group are not part of the solution.

tester smiling below, images of Obama with a “Hitler moustache” are carried proudly, and a swastika was spray-painted across a congressman’s local office sign. These acts are sadly destructive to all progress we have made in this country concerning free speech and racial division. The large organizations behind this mob-mentality approach to the town hall meeting should be ashamed. These well-organized groups are channeling angry citizens toward these town halls and arming them with false information and specifically guiding their members to scream, yell and disrupt the meetings at all costs. They are trading on fear; telling their followers outrageous lies such as “death panels,” that the reform includes money for abortions and insurance for illegal aliens, and that the government is somehow trying to “systematically dismantle this country.” None of the bills being debated are calling for any of this. These organizations should feel incredibly guilty that they are deceiving hundreds of thousands with purely fabricated fear. The issue of health care reform deserves an active public debate. There are thousands of people who come to these town halls with relevant and balanced questions from both sides, but when those concerned citizens are shouted down or their answers are drowned out by viral chants of “just say no,” democracy disappears. America needs a discussion on this topic and every other

topic that comes into public relevance. However, to deny this discourse from even happening is a distraction while 18,000 people go bankrupt every day from medical bills, and hundreds die because of

lack of care. It is destructive to our country, and those behind this un-American activity of smothering democracy should be ashamed. Roberts was Barack

Those socialist buddy clubs tend to pat each other on the back. Kind of like the socialist buddy club that hands out the Nobel Prize. As for employees, they are not being dropped in group plans of an employer after being sick. That is a problem for individual policyholders such as myself. And how many times have we heard that the government will just cut “waste fraud and abuse” to pay for something only to have it never materialized? Already, President Barack Obama has given up trying to find any savings in the current budget and beyond. And why are they not doing that now, especially considering our dim federal budget? What are they waiting for? You’re dreaming if you think this plan will not add to the deficit. When does the government control costs on anything? But they will try through rationing if they ever get full control of our health care. And if that happens, we all are in trouble. Please don’t say that insurance companies are rationing now. They are not. True rationing is when you limit the product itself, not a denied claim. The patient still has other choices to pay for a procedure, from cash out of pocket to charity and everything in between. But if the government rations the care itself, you can’t get it at any price.

KIMBLE LEE FRENTRESS 1958 – 2009

Kimble Lee Frentress, 51, of Craig, died Aug. 7, 2009, at Yampa Valley Medical Center in Steamboat Springs, where he was surrounded by family and friends. Kimble was born April 25, 1958, in Hayden, to Norman and Dollie Frentress, and he spent his childhood in the Yampa Valley. Kimble graduated from Hayden High School in 1976. He excelled in anything he took part in throughout life. Kimble married Robbie Jacobs in December 1976, at the Congregational Church in Hayden. Kimble and Robbie had three daughters: Tinneal, Dollie and Shawna. Kimble lived each day providing for his family in every way possible. Kimble loved to rope, ride horses and spend time with family and friends at 4-H, FFA and sporting events his children and grandchildren participated in. Kimble and his family left Colorado in the mid-1980s, following the mining industry and returned to Colorado in the early 1990s, where he ended his career at Trapper Mine. Kimble was diagnosed with a brain tumor July 14, 2008. Kimble then underwent surgery and multiple treatments throughout the next 11 months. During this time, Kimble and Robbie traveled between treatments, visiting family in Nevada and Arizona while visiting places such as the

Grand Canyon, Hearst Castle and the West Coast. Kimble had a recurrence in June 2009, followed by complications ultimately leading to Kimble’s final resting place with God.

issue. I’ve got a lot of really smart people around me who’ve been working on this for months now,” Obama said. “There is no perfect painless silver bullet out there that solves every problem, gives everybody health care for free. There isn’t. I wish there was.” But he said that because there’s no perfect solution to solving health care, opponents “start saying things like we want to set up death panels to pull the plug on grandma.” The president is seeking to put to rest claims that the health care overhaul he seeks would set up “death panels” to rule on life-

Although the prices didn’t seem as high as in previous years, there still was plenty of enthusiasm around the 2009 Routt County Junior Livestock Sale. More than 125 animals were up for sale, including market beef, lambs, swine goats and poultry. Last year, 122 animals were sold, grossing $250,422. An average steer sold for more than $3,500 last year. Lambs and hogs averaged more than $1,300. Official numbers from this year’s sale won’t be available until later today. “The best part is always the sale,” said Taylor Weisshaar, 18, who was selling a steer for the sixth straight year. “It sounds like it’s a lot less than previous years, so I’ll be happy with whatever I can get.” Weisshaar, who will be a freshman at Colorado State University, has had his steer since November. In addition to making sure the animal was fed properly, Weisshaar said he walked him behind a tractor almost daily. In addition to Weisshaar, 4-H members from across the region were hoping to cash in on their hard work. “The best part of my steer is his weight,” 13-year-old Ian Palyo said. “The auction is really fun.” Palyo, who also sold a steer last year, said his steer this year was much smaller than last year’s. Although he knew he probably wouldn’t fetch the price he did last year, he said he was excited to see what happens. “I don’t think I’ll make as much money,” he said. “But he is still pretty good.” — Luke Graham/Pilot & Today

The dangers of lead are real, said Dr. Sheila Fountain, who practices at Pediatrics of Steamboat. She said she wasn’t aware of problems with children’s toys, however. “All the lead cases we’ve had in the state have been from keys and soil and paint, and foreign travel,” Fountain said. She said she hasn’t seen a case of lead poisoning in her six years in Steamboat. Her partner at the practice, Dr. Ron Famiglietti, has seen one child with elevated lead levels. That child had traveled to India and encountered pottery coated in lead paint, Fountain said. Exposure to lead can cause decreased learning and memory, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and lowered IQ. As children are exposed to more lead, they can have symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, seizures, headaches and vomiting. Lead poisoning can progress to paralysis and encephalitis, Fountain said. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment monitors the location of lead poisoning cases in the state. Such incidents are remarkably low in Routt and Moffat counties, Fountain said. But parents should be wary, particularly if their home was built before 1978 and might be coated in lead paint. “Plumbers and pipe fitters” sometimes work with lead, Fountain said. “Usually it’s parents, where they work. They come in, and the kids get exposed.” If risks are present, Fountain’s practice screens children for lead when they’re about 9 months old. If a child has elevated levels of lead, they often go away when parents remove the source of lead. In severe cases, doctors use a process called chelation to remove lead from the blood. “It’s super rare that kids would need it,” Fountain said.

of the resale shop for LIFT-UP of Routt County, said she plans to follow the handbook. Yolanda Tait, who owns Twice as Nice, said she doesn’t sell children’s furniture because of space constraints. If a customer is in the market for a used crib, for example, Tait sometimes will hold on to one and offer it to the person. “I’m not taking certain items, and I still take kids’ clothes and toys,” she said. “And I have a list of names and call the people up and say, ‘I’ve got this size for your child.’” Rummagers owner Rose Atkins said she doesn’t take car seats and rarely takes cribs. “We get kids’ picnic tables and stuff like that we’ll use, and even some playpens, bouncy seats, strollers,” Atkins said. “We get really nice used strollers, and those things I do as long as they’re in mint condition.” The Consumer Product Safety Commission’s handbook provides guidelines for reselling children’s products. ■ It suggests testing some products for lead, such as inexpensive children’s metal jewelry and clothes with rhinestones, metal or vinyl/plastic snaps, zippers, grommets, closures or appliqués. ■ It provides safety guidelines for furniture. ■ Selling any recalled product is illegal. “CPSC’s response will vary depending upon the circumstances, including the nature of the product defect, the number of products, the severity of the risk of injury associated with the product and the type of violation,” the guide states. Improta said LIFT-UP had stopped accepting many children’s items with small plastic parts because of safety concerns. She said she expects donations of potentially dangerous items to slow as manufacturers stopped making them. “It’s definitely an ongoing process for us and our volunteers here,” Improta said. “We’ve got a good recall list of things, specific items that have been recalled.”

sustaining care for ailing seniors. It would not, and Obama has stressed that point repeatedly during the past week. Obama reiterated his contention that the Democratic health care legislation would not create “death panels” to deny care to frail seniors. Conservatives have called endof-life counseling in government health care programs such as Medicare a step toward euthanasia, and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has likened the idea to a “death panel” that would decide whether sick people get to live. Those claims have been widely discredited, but the issue remains a political weapon in the bitter health care debate.

bucking bull. But 8-year-old Shelby Archuleta went on full throttle. She bounced off her calf after a couple of good bucks. Shelby said it was “a little fun.” “I was trying to hold on and stay on, but I just lost my grip and just fell,” the Hayden girl said cheerfully, climbing over a fence near the arena. She might try again. “I don’t want to do it again today,” Shelby said. “Maybe next year.” The older youths took on the bigger bulls. A 3.89-second ride earned Kaiden Decker the top slot. The 13-year-old Hayden resident said he’s ridden bulls about six times, and he plans to ride again today. His strategy was to “look at their shoulders,” Kaiden said. “You have spurs, and you use your arm to balance, and you squeeze with your legs.” The youths all wore helmets and padding. Bullfighters including Wayne DeLuca stayed nearby to make sure all went well. DeLuca’s job is about “safety, safety,” he said. “In a junior show like this, the main thing is to make sure if a kid gets caught in a rope, someone’s there to make sure he gets out of it.” The calf riding is good training for young folks who want to try bull riding, DeLuca said. “This is a good thing for the kids,” he said. “We’ve needed it a long time.”

The only out-of-pocket expenses he ended up paying were several hundred dollars of postage, as he express-mailed documents back and forth with credit bureaus and other agencies. But the hit he could take from a dropping credit score is unclear. Wening said his score dropped by 30 points after he asked for restrictions blocking routine credit inquiries and that during the process of shoring up his credit he missed the opportunity to refinance his home at a lower rate, costing him about $200 a month. “It can beat you up financially,” Wening said. Linda Foley, co-founder of the Identity Theft Resource Center in San Diego, said it’s routine for credit scores to drop temporarily as a result of identity theft but that it should not be a long-term problem for Wening. “That’s the purpose of sending a police report to the credit card (companies),” she said. She said because of the cycles that credit card companies and credit bureaus use, it may take a couple of weeks for the information about an identity theft to clear and restore credit to normal. “In fact, if this is a smart credit company, they should see this is a smart consumer and value them more highly, because they don’t want fraud loss, either,” she said.

gued that while they had no problem with the change in practice going forward, it was unfair to start enforcing the policy retroactively. Although some council members were sympathetic to the argument, an ordinance that would have prevented reconciliations on building permits issued before March 10 — the date of the letter to con-

tractors — was defeated, 4-3, on a second and final reading. Although the ordinance failed, one declared candidate and one potential candidate — former councilman Kevin Bennett and Jim Engelken, respectively — have used the issue as ammunition in arguing that current council members kowtow to the development community. Of the two incumbent council members seeking

re-election this year — Cari Hermacinski and Walter Magill — only Hermacinski voted in favor of the ordinance. So far, reconciliations haven’t lived up to their billing. The city had collected just $225,000 of the estimated $4.6 million, as of Thursday. Revenue Supervisor Kim Weber said the original estimate probably was “a little too high,” but she also noted that there

��

still are hundreds of reconciliations that need to be performed. That includes some major development projects that have not yet received a certificate of occupancy. For example, the 465,000-squarefoot One Steamboat Place project at the base of Steamboat Ski Area had a building-use tax deposit of $2.9 million that has not yet been reconciled. Some projects also have been granted an extension to the reconciliation and allowed to receive a certificate of occupancy in the meantime, Weber said. “So far, we haven’t paid any additional taxes; we’ve got a refund,” said John Shively, of Shively Construction, and president of the Yampa Valley Construction Trades Association. “I doubt they’ve covered their expense. … It certainly has taken a lot of time to set up a system to handle all the taxes we pay.” Hermacinski also expressed frustration with the fact only $225,000 has been collected. She noted that there always was unanimous consent on council to perform reconciliations going forward and that the only question was how to fairly handle open building permits. She said the $4.6 million estimate overly hyped the issue. “I was thoroughly questioning that estimate the entire time,” Hermacinski said. “I thought it was wildly inflated.” Magill said he is disappointed that the estimate may have been wrong, but he said the amount collected doesn’t really affect the issue in question. “It wasn’t about trying to get $4.6 million for the city budget,” Magill said. “It was about collecting taxes owed to the city.” Bennett agreed. “It doesn’t change the issue,” he said. “These are taxes that are owed to the city.” Engelken, who still hasn’t made a final decision about whether he will run for council, said that approving the ordinance still would have been a “huge mistake” regardless of how much money is involved. He said he hopes the city’s finance staff becomes more aggressive about performing reconciliations and collecting the money it’s due. “I’m aware that the Finance Department is very shortstaffed,” he said. “But I would think hiring somebody to take care of this would be well worth the money.” — To reach Brandon Gee, call 871-4210 or e-mail bgee@steamboatpilot.com

Thomas Wood crafts log homes What goes up, must come down — and go up again

om Wood and his two-man crew have just completed the walls of a new log house and can’t wait to take it all apart Monday. “We’ll give each log a letter and a number, take it down, truck the logs to the owners’ property in Badger Meadows (near Steamboat Lake) and it will take us about three days to STORY BY reassemble it,” Wood TOM ROSS said. He is the longtime owner of Thomas Wood Handcrafted Log Homes and has built nearly 80 homes since establishing his business in 1986. The walls of the log structure that will be the new home of Jeffrey and Nancy Richards have been under construction since March on an industrial lot just off Shield Drive, within a nineiron shot of the Yampa River. The logs were all standing dead timber, about a third of them cut from the Richards’ own land. While the logs were being peeled of their bark, cut and scribed, subcontractors were busy digging a well, building a septic system and pouring the foundation of the new home. When a walkout basement is included, it will comprise 3,500 square feet. Wood has built a number of log homes on their building lots, but assembling the walls off-site offers several advantages. In addition to allowing simultaneous foundation and house construction, it’s much easier to sort and stage logs best suited to different purposes on a well-organized yard, where there aren’t stumps and rocks to stumble over. The process of peeling bark from the logs and cutting them to size with chain saws creates large piles of by-products that are more difficult to deal with on a wooded lot.

Wood is clearly proud of the green aspects of building homes from native logs. Not only is the creation of waste products far less than that generated by the milling of dimensional lumber, but the amount of fossil fuels consumed in moving the logs from the forest, to a mill, on to a lumber yard and ultimately to a job site is vastly reduced. “By the time you get a two-by-four to a job,” it’s traveled hundreds if not thousands of miles, Wood observed. “The furthest I’ve gone to get logs is Saratoga, Wyo.

New lending regulations delay closing dates, costs Tom Ross PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

A change in federal regulations is complicating the process of closing real estate sales and already has delayed one closing in Steamboat Springs. Ed Allbright, of Columbine Mortgage, said the first mortgage he has initiated — since the new truth-in-lending regulations went into effect Aug. 1 — was delayed by an innocent clerical error by the mortgage underwriters. The error led to a mandatory waiting period meant to protect consumers and delayed his clients’ closing date from Aug. 17 to 21. “This was a refi, but if it had been a purchase, it could have been really ugly,” Allbright said.

Even though the underwriters quickly recognized the clerical error that doubled Allbright’s estimated closing costs, under the new regulations their computers locked them out of correcting it, and a new truthin-lending waiting period was invoked.

Money on the line When a deal fails to close at the eleventh hour, hard-earned currency in the form of interest rates and earnest money is on the line. The increasing number of hurdles that must be cleared to obtain home loans — mortgage lenders are saying they must do twice the paperwork they formerly executed — is being posed by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2009, or

HERA, which was passed by Congress in 2008 and went into effect this month. Veteran mortgage lenders here say they expect problems to be exceptions. But they agree real estate purchasers could potentially risk their earnest money if the delay pushes them outside the time limits in their contracts. In other cases, borrowers could find that the mortgage rate they thought they had locked in had expired because the 30 days locking period had expired. In the case of Allbright’s client, the financial institution that did the underwriting and committed the error, made his client whole by extending the rate lock. Had the error been his, Allbright said, restoring that interest rate could have cost

$2,000 to $3,000. The new federal regulations were intended to protect borrowers from unscrupulous lending practice, but Allbright thinks it’s overkill. “It’s a problem that affects one out of 100 or 200 people, but (the new regulations) cost everyone more money and time,” Allbright said. “It’s unfortunate,” said David High, a mortgage broker with Alpine Bank in Steamboat Springs. “There’s already so much accountability among lenders. This is designed to eliminate the ability of disreputable lenders to take advantage of clients. There’s a chance it will do nothing but create more problems.” Still, High doesn’t expect the new regulations to create prob-

lems for the majority of borrowers. “It’s not a deal-killer,” he said.

Tracking changes

Federal regulations have long required that borrowers be provided a truth-in-lending disclosure detailing the terms of their mortgage. They must be given adequate time — seven days — to study the terms before closing. With the new regulations, Congress has taken action to ensure homebuyers get updated on changing loan conditions right up until the closing of the transaction. They are meant to protect them from unpleasant surprises at closing. Specifically, the HERA provisions say that if the annual See Lending, page 2B

percentage rate of a mortgage — or any loan for that matter — increases more than 0.125 percent, or by one eighth, the lender must reissue an updated truth-in-lending statement and give the customer an additional three days to study it. The APR is a combination of the mortgage rate and a variety of fees associated with the loan, including the origination fee.

Even in an era when mortgage rates — the current national average is 4.4 to 5.5 percent — can fluctuate by a quarter or even a half of a percentage point daily, mortgage lender Holly Rogers, of Yampa Valley Bank, said a change in mortgage rates isn’t likely to kick in an additional truth-in-lending wait and delay a closing date.

Lock in early That’s because more than ever, lenders are urging borrow-

ers to lock in their rate well in advance of the closing date. If anything, borrowers may find it impractical to satisfy that urge to wait and wait for interest rates to come down an eighth of a point before locking in. High is optimistic clerical mistakes, like the one by the underwriter involved in Allbright’s deal, will be the exception. “You have to be diligent about planning, but I don’t think it will be that big a hassle,” he said.

One likely downside of the tighter restrictions on truth-inlending statements, High said, is that borrowers will lose the flexibility they once enjoyed to change the terms of their loan on the day of closing. For example, they won’t be able to choose to pay higher points at the last minute, in order to get a lower interest rate, or vice versa. Allbright said mortgage brokers may find they have to build an additional 15 days into the loan process. And the cost to the consumer of a 45-day lockin period vs. a 30-day lock could be on the magnitude of $750. The ultimate inconvenience of a delayed closing because of a measure intended to protect consumers, Rogers said, would be the loss of earnest money because the buyers have failed to close under the terms of the contract. For that reason, High is suggesting that selling Realtors investigate the possibility of building an automatic extension into contracts that kicks in when clerical errors occur. In the long run, Rogers thinks problems created by HERA will be rare. Even though an eighth of a point, or 0.125 percent, sounds like a tiny margin for error, it’s bigger than people might think. “It’s a big swing in terms of fees,” Rogers said. “You’d have to have a pretty big discrepancy for that to happen.” Most of the fees that contribute to the APR, she explained, are tiny — $200 and $150, for example, relative to the purchase of a $300,000 or $500,000 home. The exception would be the origination or discount fees, sometimes amounting to 1 percent. But those are the fees that conscientious local lenders have the most direct control over. If anything, Rogers said, the new truth-in-lending requirements may level the playing field between local lenders and Internet lenders. — To reach Tom Ross, call 871-4205 or e-mail tross@steamboatpilot.com

counsel and engineering services to analyze the water resources available to the Whetstone Reservoir, First Enlargement, and has incurred substantial expenses in reviewing the status of its water rights and the engineering and modifications to the existing structure necessary to utilize the water rights for augmentation of its other decreed rights, including those decreed in Cases No. 99CW73 and 99CW74. B. In 2008 and 2009, the Applicant negotiated with the owner of the original right for Whetstone Reservoir and purchased that right, as well as the Creek Ranch Spring No. 1 decreed in Case No. 99CW73, in 2009 for $10,000, in order to secure the Applicant’s right to use the structure to store the conditional rights decreed to Whetstone Reservoir, First Enlargement, if necessary, prior to completion of any planned enlargement of the structure. The Applicant incurred legal costs during the course of these negotiations and the purchase. The Applicant has engaged legal and engineering services to determine how the existing structure for Whetstone Reservoir can be used to exercise the Whetstone Reservoir, First Enlargement water rights. C. The Applicant has monitored the Water Division No. 6 resume and filed statements of opposition in cases, including 06CW65, and in applications with Routt County Board of County Commissioners for creation of additional subdivisions, to ensure that its water rights, including Whetstone Reservoir, First Enlargement, are protected from injury by new appropriations from Trout Creek. The Applicant has incurred legal and engineering costs to participate in these matters. D. The Applicant has had meetings and conferences with representatives from the Office of the Division Engineer in Water Division No. 6 regarding operation of the Whetstone Reservoir, First Enlargement water right and plans for augmentation of its other junior water rights using this water right. E. The Applicant has spent more than $500,000 in building the struc-

tures necessary to exercise its other water rights, including those decreed in Case No. 99CW74, and spends on average $11,204 per year maintaining the ponds, the feeder ditches, and the diversion structures. The Whetstone Reservoir, First Enlargement is intended as the augmentation source for any out-of-priority depletions from these junior water rights, and will be identified as such in a future application for approval of a plan for augmentation currently in the planning stages. F. The Applicant has entered into an agreement with Deerwood Service Company, which operates the domestic water supply infrastructure for the Creek Ranch subdivision, as well as the Deerwood Ranches subdivision and the Wilkerson subdivision on neighboring properties, to allow Deerwood Service Company to use the Whetstone Reservoir, First Enlargement as an augmentation source for the Deerwood Service Company’s wells. G. In 2008, the Applicant became the majority owner of the Deerwood Service Company, LLC, and has appointed representatives to the Company’s Board of Managers. In cooperation with Deerwood Service Company and subsequently through its representatives on the Board of Managers, the Applicant has engaged legal and engineering services to prepare and file the application in Case No. 2005CW23 for an augmentation plan to provide augmentation of out-of-priority depletions attributable to the Deerwood Water System, which serves the lots within the Creek Ranch subdivision. The Whetstone Reservoir, First Enlargement is one source of augmentation water for out of priority depletions caused by water provided from Deerwood Service Company’s wells for the Creek Ranch Subdivision lots. The Applicant, by its participation on the Board of Managers for Deerwood Service Company, has continued to participate in the legal and engineering analysis in order to adjudicate the change of water rights and augmentation plan.

Applicant has leased the land for ranching and

hay production purposes, with the anticipation that the water rights decreed to Creek Ranch Headgate No. 1 and Creek Ranch Headgate No. 2 will be used to meet the lessee’s irrigation requirements when necessary. The land is currently irrigated using water leased from a neighboring water rights holder by agreement. The water currently used is subject to a change application and may no longer be available for Applicant’s use, at which time Applicant will begin diverting water decreed to Creek Ranch Headgate No. 1 and Creek Ranch Headgate No. 2 for irrigation of these lands. B. During the diligence period, Applicant has installed pipelines and diversion structures from Trout Creek into Baker Lake, Thames Lake, and the Duck Pond in order to exercise its rights under the Baker Lake Feeder Ditch. In addition, Applicant has installed a diversion structure into Headquarters Lake in order to exercise its rights under the Headquarters Lake Feeder Ditch. C. During the diligence period, Applicant has spent an average of $11,204 per year maintaining the ponds, the feeder ditches, and the diversion structures. These expenses include stocking and feeding fish, monitoring and cleaning out the feeder ditches and their controls, trapping “trash fish” from the lakes and excluding them from the feeder ditch intakes, and consultant fees. In addition, Applicant has spent more than $4000 in 2007 and 2008 to replace the inlet screen and repair the discharge system for the Headquarters Lake. D. During the diligence period, Applicant performed legal and engineering work preparing for and filing the application in this matter, and in reviewing the Water Division No. 6 resume to ensure that its water rights are adequately protected. During the diligence period, Applicant has performed numerous maintenance activities on the Headquarters Well No. 1, including replacing the pump and motor in early 2008, at an expense greater than $4000. Landowner: A. The land on which the structures subject to the application are located is owned by the Creek Ranch Owners Association. WHEREFORE, Applicant requests that the Court enter an order to make the Headquarters Well No. 1 absolute in full, at a rate of 15 g.p.m., and to make a finding of reasonable diligence in the development of any portion of the conditional water rights that are the subject of this application that are not decreed absolute, including the water rights decreed to Creek Ranch Headgate No. 1, Creek Ranch Headgate No. 2., Baker Lake Feeder Ditch, and Headquarters Lake Feeder Ditch. Further, Applicant requests the court to allow it to seek a decree in this case to make these conditional rights absolute to the extent they are applied to beneficial use between the date this Application is filed and the date a final decree is entered in this matter. You are hereby notified that you will have until the last day of SEPTEMBER, 2009 to file with the Water Court a verified statement of Opposition, setting forth facts as to why a certain Application should not be granted or why it should be granted only in part or on certain conditions. A copy of such Statement of Opposition must be served on the Applicant or the Applicant’s Attorney, with an affidavit or certificate of such service being filed with the Water Court, as prescribed by Rule 5, C.R.C.P. The filing fee for the Statement of Opposition is $158.00, and should be sent to the Clerk of the Water Court, DIV. 6, P. O. Box 773117, Steamboat Springs, CO 80477.

Location: Location as Originally Decreed: On the left bank of the Yampa River approximately ½ mile downstream from the outlet of the Bear Reservoir at a point whence the Northwest Corner of Section 9, Township 4 North, Range 84 West, 6th P.M. bears North 2°41’ West at a distance of 19,285 feet. Previous Change of Point of Diversion: The decree entered May 14, 1980, in Case No. 79CW111 established the following additional and alternate points of diversion for the Wessels Canal. The headgate of the Givens Ditch, the decreed location of which is at a point on the South bank of the Yampa River and lying approximately 290 feet northwesterly from the point where the centerline of U.S. Highway No. 40 crosses the South bank of the river in Sec. 9, Township 6 North, Range 87 West., 6th P.M., in Routt County, Colorado.

Appropriation Date and Amount: Appropriation Date: September 30, 1961. Amount: 120 c.f.s. The decree entered April 21, 1982, in Case No. 80CW44 decreed 45.7 cfs of the Wessels Canal conditional right absolute for domestic and industrial uses, including power generation. The remaining 74.3 cfs of the Wessels Canal water right remained conditional for domestic and industrial uses, including power generation. The 120 cfs water right remained conditional as to the irrigation, stockwater, municipal, piscatorial and recreational uses. Uses: Irrigation, stockwater, domestic, municipal, industrial, piscatorial and recreational. Outline of Work Toward Completion of Appropriation. PSCo has established an integrated water resource system on the Yampa River to achieve maximum flexibility in planning and to better utilize existing water resources; the Wessels Canal is a part of that system. The following outlines work performed by PSCo during the diligence period in the development of the subject water right within its integrated water resource system: PSCo, by itself and through legal counsel and other retained representatives, has expended substantial resources in monitoring, evaluating, and contributing to the formulation of the Yampa River Programmatic Biological Opinion as necessary to protect its water rights, including the Wessels Canal water right. As part owner of the Craig Station, PSCo participated substantially in the decision to enlarge the Elkhead Reservoir to provide water to address issues relating to endangered species inhabiting the Colorado River. This action was necessary for PSCo to protect its Yampa River water rights, including the Wessels Canal water right. PSCo, by itself and through legal counsel and other retained representatives, has met with representatives of other water users in Water Division No. 6 in efforts to collaborate in the management and use of water resources within the division. PSCo, by itself and through legal counsel and other retained representatives, negotiated and finalized the sale of land within Water Division No. 6, reserving for itself for future use the water rights associated with that land. PSCo has appeared in numerous water cases to firm up its water supply for the Hayden Station and to protect its water rights that form a part of its integrated water resource system against other projects that compete for the same source of supply. The cost of the foregoing activities, exclusive of PSCo staff time, exceeded $40,000 during the diligence period. PSCo paid substantial property taxes during the diligence period for the Properties and water rights that are the subject of this Application. WHEREFORE, PSCo requests that the Court enter a decree finding that reasonable diligence was performed during the diligence period in the development of the conditional water right which is the subject of this application. You are hereby notified that you will have until the last day of SEPTEMBER, 2009 to file with the Water Court a verified statement of Opposition, setting forth facts as to why a certain Application should not be granted or why it should be granted only in part or on certain conditions. A copy of such Statement of Opposition must be served on the Applicant or the Applicant’s Attorney, with an affidavit or certificate of such service being filed with the Water Court, as prescribed by Rule 5, C.R.C.P. The filing fee for the Statement of Opposition is $158.00, and should be sent to the Clerk of the Water Court, DIV. 6, P. O. Box 773117, Steamboat Springs, CO 80477.

Map of locations in court file. A detailed description of the structures and development of the springs was included in our application to the USFS to transport water on Forest Service land. To date we have developed the Shay Spring #1 and the Judith Spring #2, according to the original forest service application. In addition to spring development a storage tank was installed at a point just below the three springs to collect the water and guarantee a continuous flow. The Forest Service has inspected and approved all work. The water line has been installed from the Springs to the storage tank and from the storage tank to the edge of the forest service land. From there it continues across private land, and then to Colorado State Park land. See below for names of specific land owners. The water line is complete to the site where the distribution/metering system will be installed. The water currently flows freely through an existing drainage. All reclamation and re-vegetation has been complete and approved by each entity. A bond was required for work on the State Park land and it has been returned. Our plan is to complete the distribution/metering system in the summer of 2009. From that point each water right owner will be responsible for transporting the water to their individual residences.

Rule 2 also provides that applicants and opposers without counsel shall file a single copy of the application and all subsequent documents in original paper format, and the water clerk shall scan and upload such paper-filed documents to the approved judicial branch e-filing system. On and after August 5, 2009, the Water Clerk for Water Division No. 6 shall accept for filing and publication all White River Drainage Basin applications, and subsequent documents in the case, filed in Water Division No. 6. On and after August 5, 2009, the Water Clerk for Water Division No. 5 shall not accept for filing and publication any White River Drainage Basin applications attempted to be filed in Water Division No. 5. The Water Clerk for Water Division No. 5 shall issue pre-cancellation notices pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-305(7) for all White River Drainage Basin applications filed prior to August 5, 2009 that are subject to future findings of reasonable diligence.

Tax credit gives nudge to 1st-time homebuyers Jack Hagel

MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS

RALEIGH, N.C.

Shannon and Jeremy Wallace were ready for a change. The Raleigh couple was tired of living in a one-bedroom, onebathroom apartment in North Raleigh. His commute was long, their space was cramped, and their dog, Cody, needed a little more terrain. “We’re throwing away $700 a month on our apartment,” said Shannon Wallace, 27, a social worker. “There was really no point for us to be giving them money when we could be paying most of our mortgage with that amount.” Slack demand, declining prices and the chance of a low mortgage prompted them to hunt for a home of their own. But it was the promise of as much as $8,000 in tax savings from Uncle Sam that convinced them to put a home under contract. The couple found a threebedroom, two-bathroom ranch house in Knightdale, N.C., on which they expect to close this month. The first-time homebuyer’s tax credit, which expires Nov. 30, is the second such effort designed to help reduce a glut of inventory left over from the boom. As the deadline for receiving the credit approaches, local real estate agents say it’s doing just that. And although some in Congress are pushing for an extension, nothing is firm. “In the last few weeks, man, we have definitely been more active. And a lot of it is from first-time buyers,” said Ross Rhudy, general manager of Ammons Pittman GMAC Real Estate in Raleigh. About one-third of his business today comes from first-time buyers, compared to about one-fifth a few years ago. “That deadline is looming, and the ones that are aware of it ... are starting to think, ‘I’d better get off the fence.’” In one of its many efforts to revive the economy, the federal government thought it would be a good idea to put money in the pockets of prospective buyers, to help repair the industry that is largely blamed for the downturn. “It won’t move everybody off the fence,” said Stacey P. Anfindsen, of Birch Appraisal Group, who analyzes housing data for area brokers. “But it’ll move enough people off the fence to get things churning.” And that could be good for buyers up the line. As starter homes are sold, sellers can move up or move on, leading to sales elsewhere and helping to loosen a jammed industry. The region, which avoided the early brunt of the bust, saw sales slow to a decade-low in the first half of this year. A seven-month supply of unsold homes still lingers on the market, up from the three-month supply that was typical during the boom, according to Triangle Multiple Listing Services. The Internal Revenue Service reports that at least 1.1 million buyers have applied for tax credits through amended returns. More are expected when income taxes are due in April. The agency could not provide a breakdown by state, but local data suggest the credit already is having an effect on regional sales. ■ During the second quarter, 41 percent of all homes sold in the Triangle were less than $200,000, according to Metrostudy data. That’s the biggest share for that segment since 2005. Area brokers say that first-time buyers typically buy homes priced at less than $200,000. ■ Through the first half of the year, sales of existing singlefamily homes less than $120,000 are up 43 percent compared to the same period last year, according to Market Opportunity Research Enterprises, a Rocky Mount, N.C., group that tracks Triangle housing trends. That’s the first increase in that category in at least three years. ■ In June, about half of the region’s top-selling communities had average prices of below $200,000, down from one-quarter last year, according to Triangle Multiple Listing Services data. Although the tax credit is

a deal maker for some, others such as Bert Davis were lured by declining prices. The credit will be gravy. Davis is a chemist who works in Wilson, N.C. After renting in Cary, N.C., for years, he started looking for a home to buy closer to work. He was buoyed by low mortgage rates and declining prices. “The housing market has hurt a lot of people,” Davis said. “But it’s helped me out.” He found a new home in Knightdale’s Churchill neighborhood. It offers easy access to Wilson. It was listed at $175,000. He put it under contract for $163,000. He closes later this month. “I got more house than I could have afforded a couple years ago, and more house than I could afford a few years from now,” he said. “I just kind of lucked out.” Part of his tax credit will go to a new fence. The rest will go into a rainy day fund. With that in order, Davis, 27, can focus on other pursuits. “I’m single, working, own a house,” he said. “Ladies?”

The shadow inventory First-time buyers aren’t the only ones snapping up homes. Sales in lower price ranges also have been boosted by investors who are snapping up bargain-priced foreclosures, which have contributed to a 7 percent decline in average home prices compared with last year. Those foreclosures could

pose a dilemma for some of those potential first-time buyers. As more foreclosed homes run through the market, average home prices could continue to decrease. So do you rush to get the tax credit? Or gamble on prices dropping further?

Analysts don’t advise timing the market. If you’re ready to buy, then buy, they say. But they added that good things could come to some of those who wait. “I do not think we are at the bottom,” said Bernard Helm, president of Market

Opportunity Research Enterprises. “People are still losing jobs. There are banks that are holding onto resale homes and not putting them on the market, in order to keep the price of re-sale homes up. There are individuals who would like to

sell their house but won’t until prices recover. “This is a huge shadow inventory that is sitting out there that has not hit the market,” he continued. “We have a long ways to go before we have price stability.”

Falling for a risky idea

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

’ve met more than a few radical people in my life. Guys who drove hundreds of miles to jump on the back of a bull, people who have scaled the face of Everest and a few who have thrown themselves out of perfectly good airplanes. But lately, I’ve started to wonder what it will take for the next generation of “extreme” athletes to gain our attention. Sure, today’s daredevils grab our attention for a few moments, thanks to YouTube and media coverage. But once someone’s spotlight fades, you can bet there will be another athlete right behind him or her, ready to do something even crazier for a camera. The ideas demonstrated by today’s extreme athletes continue to push the limits of sanity. The problem is, the extreme curve constantly is being pushed, and in most cases, it ends with a shocking headline on a story nobody really wants to read. Take the exploits of kayaker Tyler Bradt, which were documented in the June/July edition of National Geographic’s Adventure magazine. Bradt was written up after he attempted, and I’m glad to say survived, a 186-foot descent over the cascading water of the Palouse Falls in Washington in April. The 22-year-old set a new record in breaking the previous mark of 127 feet, which had been set in Brazil a few weeks before Bradt’s attempt. Anyway, I guess breaking the 180-foot mark is some kind of monumental feat in the world of kayaking. Kind of like Lindbergh flying solo over the Atlantic Ocean — stop the presses. Bradt was the first, but my guess is there will be plenty of paddlers willing to follow his historic feat for 15 seconds of fame. In his defense, Bradt apparently thought about his fall before pushing off the shore into the water. He visited Palouse State Park and scouted his planned descent. He practiced by paddling over a number of 70- to 80-foot falls before taking the plunge. Let’s hope the next guy goes to the same trouble. My guess is that Bradt will become a legend among paddlers. He’ll be the type of guy who will inspire young athletes who enjoy playing in the whitewater and paddling in some of this country’s most breathtaking rivers. It’s hard not to be impressed with what Bradt did in a boat, and given the opportunity, I might have packed my camera bag and photographed the event. But I have to stop and wonder: Would I be as impressed if this young paddler had not been successful? Would I have the same feelings if Bradt had been seriously injured? In today’s world, there seems to be a new generation of adventure-seekers willing to push the limits in all kinds of extreme sports. Success brings fame and attention from a world hungry for adventure. Failure, on the other hand, brings questions and makes us wonder why anyone would risk their lives for 15 seconds in the headlines. —To reach John F.

Jon Baskin, right, signs his letter of intent to play basketball at San Diego State University with coach Kelly Meek in 1986. Baskin recently was named to the All-Time Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference basketball team.

Jon Baskin rarely changed his routine if something was working. He’d put his socks on in a certain order and then his shoes in the same order. He’d go into the locker room at the same time before games and each time would listen to the same music. And when he did play, his routine didn’t change much, either. There was nothing flashy or overbearing, but next to the penciled-in “Baskin” in the scorebook, the stats usually read at

BASKETBALL least 25 points and 10 rebounds. Baskin — a 1986 Steamboat Springs High School graduate — recently was named to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference’s All-Century Basketball Team, for his play at Mesa State College in Grand Junction. During three seasons with the Mavericks, Baskin averaged 24.5 points and 10.1 rebounds per game while shooting an unheardof 74 percent from the field. He was a three-time AllConference selection, was named an All-American and entered the

RMAC Hall of Fame in 2007. He is Mesa State’s all-time leading scorer, and only one time in his three years did he not score in double figures. “I was never a good athlete,” Baskin said. “I say I’m not a good athlete. If you lined me up against Joe Schmoe, … I’m probably better than him. In terms of college athletes, I’m not. But I got as much out of my body as I could.” Baskin — who stands 6foot-8 and played at about 240 pounds — originally signed his letter of intent to play at Division See Baskin, page 3C

He was always willing to take on seniors in tackling drills.” Miles’ mother, Jane, said she’s seen her son’s unique competitiveness since he was a child and is reminded of it almost every time she sees him step onto the field of competition. “The coaches all just know he’s like a workhorse,” she said. “Even his middle school track coach, he’d enter him in all kinds of different running events, then just say, ‘He’s like a machine. You just turn him on, tell him what he needs to do, and he does it.’”

It’s a competitiveness and drive — a passion — that separates him on a football field so distinctly that, sometimes, it’s like he’s wearing a different-colored jersey. And it’s a drive that might just lift Miles to his dream of college football.

Ready for more Cody Miles will start his third season as quarterback of the Rams football team Monday when fall practices begin. Last season was a great one for the Rams. In the team’s first year in the 8-man classification, it turned a miserable 2007 cam-

paign into a 4-4 2008 record. Miles was one of the leaders of that turnaround, and entering his senior season, Miles is confident his school’s second year of 8-man football will be even better. “We’ve already got the jitterbugs out. Now we’re used to it,” he said. “Now it’s time to assert ourselves as a dominant team.” The only problem is, almost no matter what Miles does to lead that resurgence, it won’t have much of an effect on his college plans.

Former coach returns to lead cross country Luke Graham

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Former longtime Steamboat Springs High School coach Andy Reust said he has missed a lot about coaching. There was the camaraderie of teams and coaching itself. But mostly, he missed the athletes. So after a two-year absence, Reust is taking the helm for the Sailors this fall. He’s the new head coach of the cross-country team and co-head coach of the track and field team with Luke DeWolfe. “It’s great,” Reust said about coaching. “To me, there is nothing else.” Reust spent years on the sidelines as an assistant football coach for former Steamboat coach Mark Drake. He also was an assistant and head track coach for several years. When the cross-country job opened up, Reust expressed interest for several reasons. In addition to wanting to get back into coaching, Reust saw a need for transparency between the cross-country program and the track program. “I decided to come back when the cross-country job opened up,” he said. “I love track and field. I’m a track and field guy. We haven’t been getting the relationship between the two.” When Reust worked with former cross-country coach John Smith, Reust said the two programs worked closely together, getting as many as 90 percent of the athletes to do both sports. “His philosophy was, to be great at cross country, you have to run track, and to be a great track runner you have to run cross country,” Reust said. Reust’s familiarity with the school and program made him an easy choice for the job. First-year Athletic Director Ken Webbe said when Reust approached him about the open position, Webbe was excited for the possibilities. “I guess the key points for me was the trust with our kids,” Webbe said. “He’s been a coach at Steamboat for many, many years. At this point in his life he’s retired and has the time to focus on kids and cares about kids. He’s very interested in doing what’s best for kids.”

Tiger claws out a 2-shot lead Doug Ferguson

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHASKA, MINN.

The coronation of Tiger Woods turned into a contest Saturday at the PGA Championship. What had looked so inevitable — Woods with a four-shot lead on the weekend at a major — suddenly became filled with possibilities as his margin vanished along the back nine at Hazeltine. Only a late birdie by Woods and a lone bogey from Padraig Harrington gave the final major a familiar look. Woods, playing it safe to

PGA CHAMPIONSHIP avoid throwing away shots, wound up with a 1-under 71 and had a two-shot lead against Harrington and Y.E. Yang. That left Woods one round from capturing his 15th major, with more company than anyone expected. “The narrower the gap, the better,” Harrington said. But it’s still a gap. The advantage still belongs to Woods. He has never lost a major when he was leading going into the final round. Only once in his career — nine years ago — had he lost any tournament when leading

by two shots or more. His conservative play allowed his lead to be cut in half. Woods found little wrong with that. “I didn’t give myself a lot of looks at putts,” he said. “I was lag putting a lot. Given the conditions and my position in the tournament, I didn’t mind it.” The only fist pump Woods delivered on a blustery afternoon came on the short par-4 14th. He hit a 3-wood to the back of the green, chipped so poorly that it ran through the green and against the collar, then used the blade of his sand wedge to knock in a 15ANTHONY SOUFFLE/MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE foot birdie putt that allowed him Tiger Woods chips onto the eighth green during the third round of the 91st PGA to regain the lead. Championship at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minn., on Saturday.

Broncos to stick with Kyle Orton

Miles dedicated to Soroco Soroco continued from 1C the conditions of its classification change last year. That means there will be no dramatic playoff run and no exposure in front of big crowds that gather for such late-season games. There won’t be much real chance for largeuniversity recruiters to check out Miles and Soroco. That’s why when the decision came down, when Miles still was a sophomore, that Soroco was destined for 8-man football and a two-year stint on the playoff sidelines, transferring seemed like such an easy solution.

when, as a freshman, Miles offered to play any position he could to get on the field. He served as the team’s tight end before taking over at quarterback as a sophomore. He was even more impressed when his young talent turned down the apple that was a larger school. “It says a lot about him and his character,” Bruner said. “He told me he wants to start a tradition of winning here at Soroco. That says a lot about him just as a person. “Was it the right decision? You bet.”

A big decision

Making it

It came down to Hayden and Steamboat Springs. “We were thinking about probably going to Steamboat,” Jane Miles said. “We had a house where we could definitely get residence there. We thought about it, made plans and were doing what we had to do.” Playing elsewhere would have meant some major changes for Miles. He’s a two-way star in Soroco. In 2008, he led his team in offense — he was the top rusher with 719 yards and added 1,419 through the air — and in defense, where he racked up 132 tackles from his linebacker position. At a larger school, playing both ways would have been much less likely and could have pigeonholed Miles into a position in the eyes of collegiate recruiters. But the chance for the increased exposure of playing for a larger school was difficult to ignore. In the end, it was a sense of loyalty combined with that trademark competitiveness that decided the issue. “I love the guys here too much,” he said. “I wouldn’t trade them for anything. These guys are my friends, on and off the field. I feel like it’s my team, and I wouldn’t feel right leaving.” Bruner said he was impressed

Miles is not embarking on his quest to play college football alone. In addition to a team of friends backing him up, Bruner has taken it on himself to find the right fit in a college. Miles attended two camps this summer, one at Mesa State College in Grand Junction and another at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley. He also traveled with Bruner for a visit at the University of Wyoming, a Division 1 football program. “I didn’t think I had much of a shot until Bruner started helping me out,” Miles observed. “He’s talking to people and getting my name out there. “He’s amazing. I don’t think I could ever say enough about him.” Just how successful the whole operation is won’t be obvious for months, until after Miles and his friends are finished trying to lay the foundation of a winning Soroco football program, until after he’s thrown his last pass in the maroon and white and until after he’s brought the home crowd to its feet for the last time. “He just has something special inside him,” Bruner said. “He’s got the work ethic to make it. He wants to compete after high school, and he’s of a high enough caliber that he will.”

Jon Baskin, left, and his wife, Louise, are shown in 2007. Jon recently was named to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference’s All-Century team for basketball. Baskin still is Mesa State College’s all-time leading scorer.

Meek: He was combative Baskin continued from 1C I San Diego State University. But as a freshman in Southern California, Baskin felt out of place and felt he was losing sight of who he was. A coaching change at the end of his freshman year made him look at other options. Mesa State, which had been recruiting Baskin since he was a sophomore in high school, instantly became a good landing spot. After sitting out for a semester, Baskin earned a starting spot he would never give up. “He was extremely combative,” said Kelly Meek, who coached Baskin in high school. “Once he got you pinned down low, you couldn’t stop him. I knew things were going to go well for him. I knew how good he was going to be. I never taught a player that knew how to use his body better than him.” Baskin found his niche at Mesa State. Along with former Steamboat Springs graduate Ron Chamberlain and Basalt graduate Paul Cain, Baskin helped the Mavericks become one of the most exciting teams in the RMAC. The team rarely averaged below 90 points per game. “Jon, he was a force inside,” said Cain, who left Mesa as the school’s all-time leading scorer before Baskin eclipsed his record the next year. “He was up and down the floor. He was

very hard to stop inside. The position he was able to get got him easy baskets. I think it was a combination of him using his body, and he has a knack to score. Sometimes it seems like kids have that or they don’t.” After his career at Mesa State, Baskin attended a camp with the Denver Nuggets. After getting cut, he went to play in Brazil for a year and then spent a year with the Global Basketball Association. By then, Baskin was ready to move on. “It was time,” he said. “I wasn’t enjoying playing that much. I was working out regularly, but not to the level I needed to stay in competitive basketball. I’m glad I stopped playing when I did.” He spent a year in Steamboat Springs before attending graduate school at the University of Nebraska. Baskin now teaches social studies at Standley Lake High School in Westminster, where he previously was a basketball coach. Although the many awards and plaques he’s received are piled up in his basement — and probably will stay there for years to come — Baskin said his time on the court will always make him smile. “If I was to be remembered, it would be a player who you would classify as using the potential they had,” he said. “Someone who got as much out of himself as he could.”

Kyle Orton only needs to worry about correcting his mistakes, not looking over his shoulder. New Broncos coach Josh McDaniels is standing behind his struggling quarterback, whom Denver acquired this spring in a trade with Chicago. That deal sent Pro Bowl passer Jay Cutler to the Bears after his relationship with McDaniels soured. Orton threw three interceptions on three straight first-half series in Denver’s 1716 exhibition loss to the San Francisco 49ers, while his backup, Chris Simms, threw two touchdown passes. McDaniels said it’s too early to think about pulling the plug on Orton, who was booed for his poor play and two interceptions in a free scrimmage at Invesco Field last week, dampening what was supposed to be a night of fun. “I feel very confident where we’re at,” McDaniels said after the game. “He made a few mistakes, but we’re not going to go into this thing after the first preseason game and start tailspinning and doing this and that and making knee-jerk reactions.” The bigger issue facing the Broncos could be the health of top draft pick Knowshon Moreno, who went to the locker room in the second quarter with a leg injury. He was scheduled for an MRI exam Saturday. McDaniels didn’t hesitate

Orton

to play Moreno against the 49ers even though he had practiced just five times after ending an eightday holdout by signing a fiveyear, $23 million

contract. The Broncos return to the field today, and wide receiver Brandon Marshall, fresh off his acquittal in a misdemeanor battery trial in Atlanta, could return for the first time since pulling up lame on a deep route Aug. 2. As for his quarterback, McDaniels named Orton his starter in June. Coaches say he’s come a long way in learning the intricate Patriots’ style offense that requires the quarterback to make plenty of decisions at the line of scrimmage. But he’s struggled to put together any consistency, throwing several interceptions in one practice and then looking picture perfect the next. “I’m not pressing at all,” Orton said. “I’m trying to get comfortable with the offense and get ready for the first game.” And he fully expects to be the starter when the Broncos open their season at Cincinnati on Sept. 13. “I’m not worried about it,” Orton said when asked about the possibility of losing the starting job. “I’ve got a lot of confidence in me, and my team has a lot of confidence in me.”

Lance Armstrong can’t remember the last time he raced 65 miles by himself. “I don’t know, maybe when I was a young, young kid,” he said. “You would never do that on the Tour, so none of the Tours I won. “Quite literally in those Tours, excluding time trials, I probably rode alone for 20 miles. ... It’s been a long time since I was time trialing for that long.” So strong was Armstrong on Saturday that he left the rest

of the field in the mud just 35 miles into the lung-searing Leadville 100 mountain bike race, winning the nation’s highestaltitude endurance Armstrong test in record time. Despite racing through freezing rain at the start, which made it difficult to shift gears on the foreboding descents on a flat back tire for the final 10 miles, Armstrong shaved nearly 17 minutes off the record, winning in 6 hours, 28 minutes, 50 seconds. He dethroned six-time defending champion Dave Wiens, who came in second in 6:57:01 a year after holding off the seven-time Tour de France champion by about two minutes. “He’s Lance Armstrong. And he’s just off of the Tour,” Wiens said. “Last year he was just off of the couch. That made it a pretty fair fight for he and I. I rode fantastic today. I’m happy. “He killed it. He got away from Ben Sonntag and time trialed it for 65 miles.” Last year, Wiens won in a record time of 6:45:45, but that was before Armstrong began training in earnest for his return to the Tour this year. The race featured 1,400 mostly amateur cyclists and began with snow-crested peaks as a backdrop. Armstrong and Wiens

��

were in a pack of pro racers that broke away early, but they fell back one by one, including Tinker Juarez because of a broken seat clamp 30 miles into the race. “Of all things, a seat clamp,” Juarez said. “I was just beginning to get my confidence up. I couldn’t believe what happened. How could something that simple take me out? “I was ready for this. I felt I was ready to hang it all out with these guys.” Nobody could keep up with Armstrong, who found himself all alone well before he even climbed to the Columbine Mine turnaround that sits atop a peak halfway through the 50-mile outand-back course that winds its way through the Rockies and features lung-burning climbs and technical descents. On his way back down, he saw Wiens struggling in second place. Armstrong, who said he was somehow more nervous for this race than he ever was for the Tour, would rather have had company on his way back to the tiny mining town of Leadville that sits at 10,152 feet. “I sort of had to decide what to do, if you wait for the other guys or if you just try to go the rest of the race by yourself,” Armstrong said. “And it’s a little risky to do that. At the end you’re wasted. But I rolled the dice a little bit. Plus, I was freezing. I wanted to start riding hard because I was about to freeze.” Armstrong was so spent at the end that he wolfed down as many candy bars and sodas that his handlers could round up. “I felt better than last year. Obviously, I’m more prepared than I was last year, but that cold start was brutal,” Armstrong said. “The dirt was nice and tacky, so that helped. You could ride Powerline (where the rest of the field always walk their bikes up the gravel trail) pretty easily. So, no complaints.”

Michael Vick flicked his wrist and fired tight spirals deep downfield. A two-year layoff sure didn’t hurt Vick’s arm strength. He showed off his skills Saturday in his first NFL practice with the Philadelphia Eagles since completing his prison sentence. “He throws Vick the ball as hard as anybody I’ve ever seen,” said wide receiver Danny Amendola, a second-year pro who spent last season on the Dallas Cowboys’ practice squad. Wearing a No. 7 red quarterback’s jersey, Vick took part in limited drills with the offense. He worked in one-on-ones, seven-on-sevens and red zone offense. Vick mostly observed Donovan McNabb during the two-hour session. When he got a chance on the field, the 29-year-old quarterback made the most of it. He had plenty of zip behind his throws and completed a few deep balls, including one to rookie wideout Jeremy Maclin down the sideline. Vick put in extra time after practice, working on footwork and mechanics with offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg. He was the last player to leave the field, jogging off with his helmet still on. When asked how he felt, Vick replied: “Great.” Vick didn’t speak to the reporters around his mostly empty locker. As he finished

taking off his ankle braces, Vick drew a chuckle when he said: “This is weird.” Vick was the fourth quarterback to line up under center in the early portion of the practice. Vick took only one snap and completed his first pass over the middle against no defense. He playfully pumped his fist before McNabb, who lobbied the Eagles to sign Vick, and gave him a hug. In the morning walkthrough, Vick worked with the scout team offense. “We have to get him in football shape,” Eagles coach Andy Reid said. Reid said Vick was fit enough to handle an NFL practice and that the team would bring him along accordingly. Vick practiced only at quarterback in the morning session, Reid said. “That’s what Michael is,” he said. “Michael’s a quarterback.” A three-time Pro Bowl pick during six seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, Vick served 18 months in federal prison for running a dogfighting ring and was reinstated last month by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell after being out of action since 2006. He signed a one-year deal with the Eagles on Thursday for $1.6 million with a team option for a second year at $5.2 million. With McNabb entrenched as the starter and Kevin Kolb backing him up, Vick may be used more as a gimmick player than a traditional quarterback. He’s got the athletic skills to run the Wildcat formation. “There’s always the possibility you can do something,” Reid said.

Brian Vickers didn’t see it coming. Brad Keselowski sure did. With Vickers and Kyle Busch fighting it out on the final lap, Keselowski swooped in to grab the lead in the final turn and hold on to the Nationwide Series race Saturday at Michigan International Speedway. “I knew they’d do what they did and that’s why I was sitting there lurking,” said Keselowski, a Michigan native. “The two of them together are a recipe for what you saw — that’s just putting it the way it is.” Vickers finished second and Busch third, and they exchanged some heated words on pit road afterward. Busch said in a television interview that Vickers’ tactics were “just stupid,” and Vickers responded by saying that Busch came over to his car on pit road “crying like a little baby” but ran off when Vickers offered to get out and “talk about it like men.” It also was a rough afternoon for Carl Edwards, whose hopes of a championship in NASCAR’s second-tier series took a hit when he crashed early. “Man, just early in the

AUTO RACING — NASCAR race,” he said, “and I probably should have been more cautious.” After trading the lead for much of the race, Busch and Vickers pitted with most of the lead-lap cars after a caution with 20 laps to go. They lined up in the second row for the restart behind Justin Allgaier, who didn’t pit, and Keselowski, who took only two tires, for a 12-lap dash to the finish. Busch immediately took the lead when Vickers got hung up behind Allgaier, but Vickers came back to challenge and the two were side-by-side when another caution came out with 10 laps left. Vickers chose the outside lane on the final restart with seven laps to go and was poised to run away with the race. Busch caught back up and the two appeared ready to fight it out on the final lap when Keselowski came seemingly out of nowhere and passed them both. Busch apparently bumped Vickers’ car pulling onto pit road and the two exchanged words, but the confrontation didn’t escalate. Then came a delightfully awkward news conference where they sat together and talked about one another while staring straight ahead.

A gaggle of pretenders had come and gone by the time Tiger Woods stood on the 18th green muttering at yet another putt that had somehow escaped the hole. A tournament that seemed wide open only a few holes before remained firmly in his grasp, and his biggest concern was getting home to get something to eat. Dahlberg Y.E. Yang had more pressing issues. He had to figure out how to get some sleep with thoughts of playing with Woods in the final group on the final day of the PGA Championship racing through his head. “I’ve thought about playing with Tiger recently,” Yang said. “Surprised it became true so fast.” Golf can be full of surprises. That’s part of what makes the sport so intriguing at times to watch and so frustrating most of the time to play. Surprise, though, wouldn’t be the word that comes to mind if Yang manages to do what no one has ever done — come from behind on a Sunday to beat Woods in a major championship. Shock wouldn’t even properly describe it. The great one is, after all, also the greatest front-runner golf has ever seen. So maybe it was wise of Yang not to get his hopes too terribly high. “It will be my first time playing with him, so I’ll try not to go over par,” the South Korean said, smiling as his words were interpreted. A modest goal, sure. Realistic, too, even after Woods’ four-shot second round lead was cut in half. Yang, tied for second with defending champion Padraig Harrington, doesn’t need a translator to figure this one out. Woods is a remarkable 36-1 with a lead going into the final round with the lead in a tournament, and 14-0 in major championships in which he has led or had a share of the lead after 54 holes. In other words, he’s ripe to be beaten. Give it some thought before you start laughing. Yes, Woods has pretty much had his way around Hazeltine National all week long and, while his 1-under 71 was nothing special on a day when the course was playing relatively easy, he was playing conservatively. Add in the fact Yang will see things he has never seen in golf when he plays in the circus that is a final round pairing with Woods and that the guy tied with him was blitzed by Woods in the final round last week and the thing looks like a slam dunk. But stranger things have happened. And, let’s face it, it has to happen sometime. Streaks don’t go on forever. Even Joe DiMaggio had his halted at 56 games. So why not today? If not Yang, why not Harrington, who has a pretty good résumé in major championships of his own? Why not, indeed. “Obviously to get a win you’ve got to beat him by three tomorrow; that’s a tall order,” Harrington said. “Everybody in the situation who is behind is going to think, well, you know, we have nothing to lose. I need to have that attitude tomorrow. I’ve got to stand there on every shot and think to myself, well, so what if I hit a bad shot.” Remember that those are words spoken from a guy who gave up a three-shot lead to Woods in the final round last week and struggled against him in the second round here. But maybe it takes a thrashing or two to get the idea that perhaps this isn’t such an impossible task after all.

Rangers have 8 stolen bases vs. Red Sox Brewers 6, Astros 2

Julio Borbon had four hits and four of Texas’ eight stolen bases, Derek Holland pitched into the seventh, and the Rangers cut Boston’s American League wild-card lead to a halfgame with a 7-2 victory against the Red Sox on Saturday night. The eight stolen bases matched the most in the majors this season. Boston also allowed eight against Tampa Bay on May 3. Elvis Andrus swiped three bags and Ian Kinsler added another to break the team record. The Rangers also stole six bases against the Red Sox on July 22. Holland (6-7), who threw a three-hit shutout Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels, allowed two runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings to win for the third time in four starts. Neftali Feliz threw two innings for his first career save.

MILWAUKEE

Craig Counsell drove in three runs and Mike Burns pitched seven solid innings for the Brewers. Milwaukee has won three straight for the first time since sweeping Cleveland from June 15-17. Houston has lost five of six. Burns (3-4) gave up two runs and four hits, struck out seven and walked three in his seventh big league start. Hunter Pence hit a tworun homer in the seventh for Houston. Brian Moehler (7-9) pitched five innings, giving up three runs and 10 hits. Counsell had a pair of singles and a triple, and is 9 for 19 against Houston this year.

Diamondbacks 4, Dodgers 3, 10 innings PHOENIX

Indians 7, Twins 3 MINNEAPOLIS

Shin-Soo Choo and Grady Sizemore hit early homers to lead Cleveland to the victory. About 17 hours after Scott Baker pitched a two-hitter in an 11-0 win, the Twins watched rookie Anthony Swarzak (3-6) get roughed up for the third straight start. Choo started the second with a drive that ended Cleveland’s homerless streak at 38 innings. Sizemore did the same in the third, and the Indians just kept on hitting. The Twins dropped to 4-10 in their past 14 games. Half of those losses have come to the Indians and Royals, teams already looking ahead to next season.

White Sox 8, Athletics 1 OAKLAND, CALIF.

Jayson Nix homered and drove in three runs, Gavin Floyd pitched seven strong innings and the White Sox handed the A’s their third loss in four games. Jim Thome hit his 563rd homer while Gordon Beckham added a two-run single in the sixth, when Chicago scored three runs to break the game open. Floyd (10-7) gave the White Sox bullpen a rest after it pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings on Friday. Scott Linebrink and Randy Williams worked an inning apiece to finish up.

PAUL MOSELEY/FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM

The Texas Rangers’ Ian Kinsler hits a home run against the Boston Red Sox during the second inning at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, Texas, on Saturday. The Rangers beat the Red Sox, 7-2.

The right-hander yielded seven hits and struck out six.

Rays 8, Blue Jays 3 ST. PETERSBURG, FLA.

Carl Crawford hit a two-run double during a four-run third, and Scott Kazmir pitched well enough to help the Rays end a five-game skid. Jason Bartlett hit an RBI single, Crawford drove in two with his double and Evan Longoria had a run-scoring double off Brian Tallet (5-7) as Tampa Bay took a 4-2 lead in the third. Kazmir (7-7) gave up three runs and five hits with seven strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings. The left-hander was coming off a start last Sunday in which he gave up seven runs and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings of an 11-2 loss at Seattle.

Tigers 10, Royals 3 DETROIT

Angels 5, Orioles 1 BALTMORE

John Lackey allowed one run in seven innings, and the Angels spoiled the Camden Yards debut of rookie lefthander Brian Matusz. Chone Figgins had three hits, a walk and a stolen base for the Angels, who are 208 since the All-Star break. They improved to 6-2 against Baltimore and clinched the season series. The Angels scored all their runs in the third inning against Matusz, using three hits, three walks and an error. It proved to be enough support for Lackey (8-5), who is 5-1 with a 1.89 ERA in his past seven starts.

Carlos Guillen homered and drove in four runs, and Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run shot and finished with four hits to lead the Tigers to their third straight win. Ramon Santiago and Alex Avila also homered for Detroit, which finished with 16 hits. Edwin Jackson (9-5) allowed three runs and nine hits in six innings.

Yankees 5, Mariners 2 Nick Swisher hit a two-run homer in New York’s four-run second inning, and the surging Yankees beat the sloppy Seattle Mariners, 5-2, on Saturday for their 12th win in 13 games. Derek Jeter drove in two

runs for New York during a sharp 2-for-4 night, going deep in the ninth inning to tie Omar Vizquel for second on the career list with 2,672 hits as a shortstop. The Yankees captain is one behind Luis Aparicio for the top spot.

Giants 5, Mets 4 NEW YORK

A masterful pitching duel turned ugly after Mets slugger David Wright was hit in the helmet by a pitch from Matt Cain, and Bengie Molina homered in the 10th inning to give the San Francisco Giants a 5-4 victory against New York on Saturday. Cain and fellow All-Star Johan Santana were locked in a scoreless matchup at Citi Field until the fourth inning, when Cain nailed Wright with a 94 mph fastball. Seemingly rattled, Cain gave up a run before settling down and pitching into the eighth, when the Mets tied it at 4.

Braves 4, Phillies 3 ATLANTA

Omar Infante’s bases-loaded single off Brad Lidge capped a ninth-inning rally and lifted the Braves to the victory. Lidge (0-5) picked up his eighth blown save, aiding Atlanta’s two-run ninth with two errors on the same play following Garret Anderson’s leadoff single. Lidge bobbled a sacrifice by Matt Diaz before making a wild throw to first that bounced into foul territory in right field, allowing Anderson to score the tying run as Diaz advanced to third.

Gerardo Parra’s basesloaded single lifted Arizona to a victory against the Dodgers, whose pitcher, Hiroki Kuroda, was taken to a hospital after being hit by a liner in the head. The Diamondbacks tied it on back-to-back homers by Mark Reynolds and Miguel Montero off Jonathan Broxton in the ninth. Kuroda had a shutout going when pinch-hitter Rusty Ryal led off the sixth with a shot off the right-hander’s head. The 34-year-old was carted off on a stretcher and taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital for tests.

Nationals 10, Reds 6 CINCINNATI

Adam Dunn hit his first homer against his former team, leading Washington to the victory. Alberto Gonzalez and Elijah Dukes each had two hits and three RBIs for the Nationals, who led 10-1 after four innings. Dunn led off the second with his 31st homer, walked twice and scored two runs. J.D. Martin (2-2) cruised to his second consecutive win in his sixth career start, allowing an unearned run and six hits over six innings. The rookie right-hander was 0-2 with a 7.16 ERA before he pitched five solid innings against Arizona on Aug 9.

Rain postpones Rockies vs. Marlins game to today Florida Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez has been successful in doubleheaders, which doesn’t mean he likes them. “It’s a lot of aspirin, a lot of headaches,” Gonzalez said. “Call it a double headache.” The Marlins will play a doubleheader today against the Colorado Rockies after Saturday night’s game was postponed because of rain. The game never started and was called after a wait of 90 minutes, with more rain in the forecast. “The thing is, you don’t want to stop and start, stop and start, and both teams blow out their bullpen,” said Gonzalez, who has led the Marlins to one doubleheader sweep and two splits in his three seasons as manager. The starting pitchers, Rick VandenHurk for Florida and Aaron Cook for Colorado, never began warming up. They were bumped to today. Cook will face Chris Volstad in Game 1 at 11:35 a.m. MDT. VandenHurk will face Jorge De La Rosa in Game 2. The forecast calls for a 30 percent chance of rain. “We’ll just take it one day at a time,” Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. “It’s August in South Florida, and I lived here 13 years, so I know what it’s about.” Both teams have Monday off, giving their pitching staffs a day to recover from the doubleheader. — The Associated Press

Cardinals 7, Padres 4 ST. LOUIS

Matt Holliday hit a two-run homer for St. Louis, and Joel Pineiro extended his winning streak to five. The home run was the only hit in five at-bats for Holliday, who had three hits in each of his previous three games. Holliday is batting .475 with five homers and 22 RBIs in 20 games since he joined the Cardinals in a trade with Oakland. St. Louis has won seven of eight and is a season-high 14 games over .500. Pineiro (11-9) pitched 6 2-3 innings, allowing three runs and seven hits. Ryan Franklin worked a scoreless ninth for his 29th save in 31 opportunities.

Growing athletic success

hat’s the secret to being a successful Routt County

athlete? I thought it was just hard work and big dreams. That’s a formula that proves true everywhere and in probably everything. But it seemed clear to me this week that there’s something else at play. A stroll through the Routt County Fair in Hayden was like a who’s who of Oak Creek and Hayden sports. They all were there. Recently graduated Soroco and Hayden standouts Sarajane Rossi and Holli Salazar were fixtures. Lauryn Bruggink, the Soroco wrestler who last year became the first girl to score a point at the Colorado state wrestling tournament, showed a pig. Iditarod finisher Tom Thurston and his family were there, too. Thurston’s daughter Greta participated in the swine showmanship competition. I know a thing or two about county fairs. I was a 4H kid growing up and spent plenty of time at the fair near my hometown. I did all my work on the exhibition side of the 4-H ledger, though. I grew up farming, but not on a farm, and thankfully never had to wake up at 5 a.m. to take care of a cow or spend a valuable summer afternoon walking a pig. Turns out, though, the hours I spent working on my rocketry, geology, leathercraft and woodworking exhibits might not have done much to prepare me to be a local sports superstar. I guess that’s why I always was at the back of the pack come cross-country season. As miserable as raising livestock always seemed to me, thinking about it a little further makes the benefits become obvious. Wake up early. Work really hard. Stick with something for months, maybe years at a time. Learn discipline and responsibility. Even simply getting outside every day, hauling feed and supplies around a barn or a pen every day, is sure to have a positive effect. Obviously there are other ways to the top. Steamboat Springs has produced plenty of quality athletes, both in terms of small-scale prep sports and larger scale Olympic sports. Steamboat, though, doesn’t have the same agriculture connection as other towns in the county, no matter what the ski area’s advertising campaign might lead prospective skiers to believe. Hard work and big dreams are definitely still the key, and successful athletes learn to apply those traits toward everything they do, be it pigs or snowboards. But surely, farm work helps. It certainly seems to pay off for the athletes of rural Routt County, and the trials they go through would surely do any athlete anywhere good. Plus, rural training obviously served Rocky Balboa pretty well against Ivan Drago.

Shooting stars Routt County is ideal for astrophotography J immy Westlake spoke softly, almost as if he was taking the metaphor he was about to use a little too literally. “Taking meteor photos is like fishing,” he explained, his trained eyes trained on the brilliant, sparkling canvas spread overhead. The stars are brighter in Steamboat Springs than they are in most of the country’s cities, and they’re STORY BY twice again as bright near Westlake’s Routt County JOEL home, built near REICHENBERGER country the lapping shores of PHOTOS BY Stagecoach Reservoir. A professor of astronomy JIMMY WESTLAKE and physics at Colorado Mountain College’s Alpine Campus in Steamboat Springs, Westlake also is an avid astro-photographer. Lights from houses shimmered from across the rippled lake and the stars screamed from above. “You just have to wait and watch,” he said, still almost whispering as if a loud noise might scare away the prey. “You have to wait until you see your bobber move. Just like fishing.” Trying to photograph meteor showers, like the Perseid shower that reached its peak Tuesday night, can be a crapshoot. I knew that as I mounted my Nikon D70s atop Westlake’s 11-inch motorized telescope. But the moon was coming from behind the horizon in one direction and a light haze was beginning to drift in from another, the sky slowly but noticeably becoming washed out and obscured. I lined up my shot, hoping to capture the peak of a small rise near Westlake’s home, the heart of the stunning Milky Way galaxy and — I could only hope — a meteor. I clamped down on the shutter release and crossed my fingers. It wasn’t 30 seconds before Westlake himself almost made me let go, booming a shout into the sky as one, then two fiery meteors — little more than specks of space dust slamming into the atmosphere — burned right through the section of sky I had trained my camera on. “Wow!” he bellowed. “Two on your first try. That’s lucky!” Definitely so, but with a few tips and the right equipment, the beauty of Routt County’s star-lit summer night can be photographic fodder for anyone, lucky or not.

SUNDAY FOCUS

Easy, but spectacular

Westlake’s telescope came equipped with a motor that negated the effect, but the rotation of the Earth can quickly spoil a shot of the stars. Even in a short, 60-second exposure, the Earth might spin enough to turn the sharp points of light into disappointing blurs. While streaking stars can ruin some exposures, photographers without access to a sky-tracking telescope still can produce awesome shots, incorporating the effects of the rotation of the earth into the photo. One easy way to come away with a cool photo is to center a shot on Polaris, the North Star.

Finding Polaris As the world turns, Polaris remains almost motionless in the sky, all the other stars circling around the bright star located at the end of the Little Dipper. The easiest way to find the star is to first find the Big Dipper. If you can’t find the Big Dipper, shooting stars isn’t for you. Find the last two stars on the dipper’s cup, the end of the spoon, and draw a line through them, out the top of the cup. The first bright star that line will intersect is Polaris.

Setting up the shot Set the camera up on a tripod, and compose the photo around Polaris. The star doesn’t have to be in the center of the frame. A mountain or another landmark can be tucked into the bottom or side of the shot, but the effect is best if there is a healthy amount of room around Polaris. For a good shot that captures the streaking of the stars, it’s best to have a long exposure of at least two minutes. The longer the exposure, the more exaggerated the effect will be. Leave the camera open for 15 or 20 minutes, and the whole sky can be overtaken by star trails, which will form giant concentric circles around Polaris, which for the most part won’t move at all.

Tips for night photography ■ Set the f-stop, or aperture, low. An expensive, low-light nice lens could go to f-2.8 or lower, but whatever the lens capability, set it as low as possible. ■ Set the ISO as low as possible, as well. A setting of 400 will produce a significantly less grainy shot than a setting of 800 or 1,600. ■ Manually focus the camera on infinity. ■ Set the shutter speed to the “bulb” setting. At that setting, the camera’s shutter will remain open, collecting light,

Learn more Professor Jimmy Westlake’s “Celestial News” column appears weekly in the Steamboat Pilot & Today, and his “Cosmic Moment” radio spots can be heard on local radio station KFMU. Also, check out Jimmy’s astrophotography Web site at

www.jwestlake.com. Westlake will put his skills and equipment on display at 9 p.m. Aug. 29 at the Stagecoach Star Party at the Keystone Picnic Area at Stagecoach State Park. Westlake encourages everyone to bring their own telescopes, cameras and tripods to the event.

Equipment as long as the shooting button is held down. The longer the exposure, the more light will be collected and the more details of the universe revealed. Depending on where the ISO and f-stop setting are, a 30-second exposure won’t likely soak up much of the universe’s details. Extend the time to two minutes, four minutes or even longer, and beauty begins to stand out.

An 11-inch telescope similar to Westlake’s can run in the thousands of dollars. But that’s not required to get good photos. Some other equipment is. ■ A tripod is a necessity. It’s impossible to hand-hold a camera still enough to get a quality astronomy photograph. The more expensive the tripod, the more stable it is likely to be, but there are plenty of cheap options for under $50 that will do. ■ A wide-angle lens really helps. A wider lens — less than 30mm and even lower

than 20mm if possible — helps capture the vastness of the sky. It also allows for slightly longer exposures before star trails become noticeable. An appropriate lens can be had for either of the two main brands — Nikon and Canon — for $200 or less. ■ A cable release can be a big help. Even on a tripod, the human hand isn’t stable enough to hold down the shutter release without shaking the camera. A cable release allows a photographer to press a button on a remote attached to the cam-

era via a cord to open the shutter, doing away with the need to put shaky hands on the camera at all. Cable releases are available for less than $30. ■ A camera with the option to set the photo parameters — shutter speed and f-stop — is a requirement. That doesn’t mean it has to be a digital SLR, but all DSLRs would qualify. A Nikon D40x camera kit with an 18-55mm lens can be had for $479.95 on Amazon.com. The Canon Rebel XS, a similar camera with a similar lens, is $499.

Q. When did you move to Routt County, and what brought you here? A. Like so many people, I came for the winter and stayed for the summer. My husband and I first came to Steamboat in 1979 and bought a condo in 1981. In 1994, we bought a house and now spend seven weeks in the winter and 10 in the summer — about a third of the year. The rest of the time, we’re in Washington, D.C. Q. What’s the biggest risk you’ve taken recently? A. Facing rotator cuff surgery for the second time. The left shoulder was a running injury, the right was from skiing this winter. Rehab is going well, thanks to Scott Blair and the gang at Sports Med. Q. Describe your morning routine. A. I run or walk for about an hour, have breakfast and read two newspapers — in print, not on the Internet or Kindle. Q. What did you want to be when you grew up? A. When I was a child, I wanted to be a librarian so I could read books all the time. When I grew up, I wrote books instead. Q. If you could invite any four people to dinner, who would they be and what would you talk about? A. I’d invite some of the people who have been speakers at the Seminars at Steamboat so we could continue the discussion. Q. In the Meatloaf song, “I’d do anything for love, but I won’t do that,” what is that? A. I cook meatloaf; I’ve never listened to them.

It was fun. I used all my tiny scraps.” Larson’s quilt was one of many entered in one of the seemingly endless categories for home arts competitions at the 95th Routt County Fair in Hayden.

You just never know. “There’s a place for everybody here,” she added. “This is all about the pride of creating something special and showing it off.” This year’s fair is the 39th for Exhibition Hall Superintendent Linda Long. She said the great thing about home arts competitions is that they show off the talent of entrants from throughout the county. “It’s a great family get-together for the community, to see people you haven’t seen in a while,” she said. “It’s one of the only places where people can show their

Affairs “I thank the veterans who sponsored this, that they haven’t forgot us,” Medvesk said. He went to boot camp at the Naval Training Station in Farragut, Idaho, before moving on to San Francisco. From there, Medvesk traveled back and forth across the Pacific Ocean, ferrying supplies and troops to the South Pacific. “It took us 30 days and 30 nights to get across,” Medvesk said. “You didn’t see no land for 30 days straight.” He said he was one of the lucky ones who didn’t see combat. “A (Japanese) submarine followed us for I don’t know how many days, but we kept zigzagging,” Medvesk said. “I was in storms that was so violent, like a tornado.” He and crewmates stood watch in shifts, keeping a lookout for four hours on and four hours off. Medvesk was a seaman first class throughout his service. He chose to go into the Navy rather than another branch — and said he was glad he did. “On board ship, you always had a clean bed and sheets on it, and good food,” Medvesk said.

When Max Halterman was just 6, he visited a palm reader with his mother and older brother at a house in Oak Creek. His brother refused to have his palm read, but Max and his mom, Karen, both asked the palmist what she saw.

Now running a successful import, retail and wholesale business in Santa Cruz, Calif., built with the help of a cadre of Oak Creek friends along the way, Max Halterman is living up to

the potential his mom saw that day when he was 6. “Max has accomplished everything he has ever started out to accomplish, so I had no doubt that Max would take it all the way because that’s what he has done with everything,” she said.

CSU extension agent: Fair pulls diverse group of people

Fair continued from 1D David and Terry Denton, of Steamboat, entered snow peas and turnips Wednesday evening, in addition to a pen-and-ink drawing and black and white photography earlier in the day. In the past five years, they’ve entered beaded jewelry, jellies and produce. “We keep trying different categories,” Terry Denton said. Steamboat resident Sureva Towler, a 40-year fair veteran, brought her granddaughter, Rachel Keller, who’s visiting from Lawrence, Kan. “She had never been to a county fair, and I said, ‘That’s terrible. That’s a terrible thing,’” Towler said. Towler entered a quilt, and she said the two entered some baked goods, including a burnt pineapple upside down cake. About her first fair experience, Keller, 19, said it was cool that everyone could show off their hobbies. “I’ve never seen some of this stuff before,” she said. Home arts competitions attracted entrants of all ages. Two-year-old Kyra Wilson, with help from her mother, Robin, entered several art projects this year. “I made a skier girl,” said Kyra, beaming as she displayed the girl made from a toilet paper roll, a face drawn with purple magic marker, and Popsicle sticks for legs.

Nancy Mucklow helps Tell Belton, 10, decide whether his brown farm eggs should be entered in the “large” or “medium/small” classification for the Routt County Fair.

Robin Wilson, putting her photographs on display, said she has entered items for more than seven years. She appreciated feedback from the judges, who she said helped her photography improve each year. But with her daughter, it was an entirely different experience. “With Kyra, it’s fun,” Wilson said. “We can make things together at home and show them and see what other people have done. It’s our favorite time.” Massey said there is a lot of declining involvement in county fairs across the country, but Routt County has continued to maintain its annual event.

Steamboat resident Larry Guss enters a photo of the cloister at Abbey of Fontenay in the commune of Marmagne in France, into the Routt County Fair on Wednesday.

“In this declining economy, there have been questions about how much the county can support the fair,” she said. “People will come down and see how much value this has for the community. I can’t think of any other event that pulls such a diverse group of people from all over the county.”

Max was born in a house in Oak Creek, to Karen Halterman and father Dan Ellertson. He graduated from Soroco High School in 1995 as a state champion wrestler and active student, then traveled to Greeley, where he studied education and history and got a coaching minor. “Then I went to India for student teaching as part of getting a teaching certificate,” Max Halterman said. When his stint was finished there, he traveled across Southeast Asia, eventually visiting Vietnam. He was traveling with his friend and fellow Oak Creek native Nick Rodeman, when the pair came across a chance to have fine-tailored silk clothes for a cheap price. “We had been traveling for a year in Asia with a backpack,” Max Halterman said. “We were pretty excited about getting some tailored stuff.” The stuff they found was good enough to bring back to the United States, Max Halterman thought, and before he knew it, he was in over his head, with a storage space filled with textiles and clothing. He began creating relationships with the families in Vietnam who produced the materials and arranged to ship cartons of the goods to the U.S.

“Through that, it was a lot of educating going on,” he said. “We were getting educated ourselves on how and what we’re doing.” Max Halterman has also worked with other Oak Creek natives, including Christopher Hoffman and others. In the first year, 2002, the business made $19,000 in sales. The second year it made $135,000, and the third year $245,000. Last year, the company brought in $1 million. Max Halterman said it has been tough, with some down years, but overall the project has proven successful. And that older woman predicted to help him in his life just may have been his mother. When Max Halterman was overseas making initial contacts that would become his business, Karen Halterman stockpiled credit card offers that Max Halterman used to start the business. “My mom has helped me more than anyone to get me where I am today both in life and with my business. She worked many a show with me, always there when I needed her, lent me money she didn’t have and always supported me and believed in me,” Max Halterman wrote in an e-mail. — To reach Zach Fridell, call 871-4208 or e-mail zfridell@steamboatpilot.com

Stir-frying: Quick indoor cooking for summer

uick! Step into your kitchen and cook a delicious dinner for your family on a hot summer’s evening. That’s much more easily said than done. At this time of year, the kitchen is the last place most people want to be for long stretches. Who wants to stand over a hot stove when the pavement outside feels hot enough to cook on? But I’ve got the perfect solution for summertime cooking, and it’s one that doesn’t involve the usual step of heating up the backyard grill. It’s stir-frying, that classic Asian technique for cooking little pieces of food in

Stir-fried pork with bell pepper, onion and carrot Serves 4 to 6 1/2 pound boneless center-cut organic pork chops 2 organic green bell peppers 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 tablespoon toasted Asian-style sesame oil 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 tablespoon light brown sugar 2 teaspoons minced garlic 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes Splash white wine vinegar 1 medium-sized yellow onion, chopped 1 medium-sized organic carrot, cut into 1/4-inch dice Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. With a sharp knife, trim excess fat or connective tissue from the pork chops and cut them crosswise into slices about 1/2 inch thick. Halve, stem, seed and devein the bell peppers. Cut half of 1 pepper into small dice. Cut the remaining pepper halves into 2 wedges each for a total of 6 wedges. In a 10-to-12-inch ovenproof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over

a large, curved pan using a constant stirring motion. Why do I suggest stir-frying as an ideal summer cooking method? The answer is simple: It all happens so quickly that you wind up spending very little time in the kitchen at all. Which leaves you all the more time to enjoy dinner with family and friends. high heat. Add the 6 pepper wedges skin side down and season lightly with salt and pepper. Continue cooking, turning occasionally with tongs, until they have lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Turn all the wedges skin side up, transfer the pan to the oven, and cook until tender, about 7 to 10 minutes longer. While the pepper wedges cook in the oven, put the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, sugar, garlic, pepper flakes and vinegar in a mediumsized mixing bowl and stir until the cornstarch has dissolved completely. Add the pork slices and toss until the pork is thoroughly coated. Set aside. When the pepper wedges are done, transfer them skin side down to a serving platter. Set aside. Return the pan to high heat and add the remaining olive oil. When the oil is hot enough to swirl freely, add the pork mixture and stir-fry until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the chopped bell pepper, onion and carrot, season to taste with salt and pepper, and continue stir-frying until the pork is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly softened, about 3 to 5 minutes more. Spoon the stir-fry over the pepper wedges and serve immediately.

Oiling crew arrives and begins work 75 YEARS AGO From the Friday, Aug. 17, 1934, edition of The Steamboat Pilot: The big program of highway oiling, designed to take Colorado out of the dust, is under way, and this section of the country receives first benefit. Eleven big pieces of machinery arrived at the first of the week and began preparing the road from the foot of Rabbit Ears Pass to Fish Creek to receive oil. The first shipment of oil left Greybull, Wyo., on Tuesday and probably will arrive today.

Canning projects start in Routt County next week Federal canning projects will be carried on in Routt County within the next week, starting with equipment at Oak Creek, Mt. Harris and later in Steamboat. Mrs. C. Johnson, state supervisor of the canning projects, is in Craig this week. The canning projects are not limited to persons on relief; anyone can take advantage of the instruction and the equipment who desire to do the work. Jars or cans must be provided, along with the material to go in them. Containers and products will be provided for those who are unable to bring their own, with the stipulation that one-third of the canned goods will be returned to the government for relief purposes. The object of the projects is to make use of the surplus garden products and fruits, which are cheap at this season. Persons who have an oversupply of garden stuffs they will not use may help in the relief work by letting the county relief office know about it. The surplus will be taken and canned for use in relief work this winter.

Town board increases the hours allowed for watering Water may be used for sprinkling the yards and gardens from 7 to 9 a.m. and from 5 to 7 p.m. according to the announcement recently made by the town board. The recent rains have filled the reservoirs so that the increase in sprinkling hours is permitted. It is probable that no further restrictions will be necessary. With the two hours in the morning, the yards will receive ample watering. The board will be obliged, however, to turn off the water from any residence where water is used for sprinkling in excess of four hours each day.

Meeting in Yampa to discuss highway project At the request of Gov. Johnson, a meeting has been called for next Friday evening in Yampa to discuss the proposed new highway project from Oak Creek to Yampa. The purpose of the meeting is to get the true sentiment of the community about this road, to adjust any difference of opinion and viewpoint that may now be held by various citizens of the community, and to transmit to the governor and the state highway commission a recommendation of the united sentiment thus arrived at. Certain funds now are available to start the work almost at once, and other funds will be forthcoming in the very near future to continue the work.

‘T’?” Forrest thinks for just a second and says “Two. Today and tomorrow.” St. Peter laughs and says, “Well, I’ll have to give you credit for that — it’s a creative answer although not what I expected. OK, then the second question is: How many seconds are in a year?” Forrest thinks a bit longer about this one and says, “Twelve.” St. Peter is a bit taken aback and he says, “Forrest, there are only 12 seconds in a year?” Forest says, “Yes. January second, February second, March second.” St. Peter has another big laugh and says, “OK, Forrest, here’s a tough one. What’s the first name of God?” Well Forrest takes a long time to mull this question over and eventually starts humming to himself. He says, “OK, St. Peter. I’ve got it. God’s name is Andy.” “Andy?” St. Peter says, incredulous. “I’ve heard a lot of answers, but how did you come up with Andy?” Forrest starts singing, “Andy walks with me, Andy talks with me, Andy tells me I am his own.”

The Grand Slammers bridge club met at the home of Susi Crowner and enjoyed a bit of Christmas in July.

Raylene Olinger will be hostess Aug. 27.

Sincere condolences to the family and friends of Kimble Frentress.
