As a parent, imagine being able to see a report that details your child’s yearly progress throughout his or her education. Now imagine comparing that information to other students in your child’s school and to other students throughout Colorado. You don’t have to imagine anymore. With the Colorado Growth Model, a new evaluation tool the state Department of Education unveiled Aug. 7, parents can do just that. The growth model answers questions including: What is the growth rate of a student? What should the growth rate be for a student to reach a certain level of achievement in a certain period of time? And what are the highest sustained growth rates and under what conditions could they improve? Rich Wenning, associate commissioner of the Colorado Department of Education, said its purpose is to define students’ growth and whether that’s good enough. And it evaluates students, groups, schools, districts and the state, he said. The growth model was mandated by Senate Bill 163, which See CSAP, page 14

Quality. Value.

One of my favorite tasks as public relations director at Yampa Valley Medical Center is leading tours of our community hospital. A must-see stop on every tour is the family waiting room in the patient care unit, named in memory of an exceptional man, Dr. Frederick E. Willett. Near the door is a sculpture of the good doctor created by artist Susan Grant Raymond. Who was Doc Willett? And why do we esteem his memory? Just ask rancher and Steamboat Springs native Jim Stanko. He will tell you that Doc, his great-uncle, played a pivotal role in shaping our unique little town in the Rockies. “He put the community first,” Jim said. “He had a real love for this area and the people in it. There wasn’t anybody he didn’t know or who didn’t know him. Making this community a better place to live was more important to him than material wealth.” Doc Willett was not the town’s only physician, but he is best remembered by longtime residents and the pages of history. That is because of his character, his devoted service and the fact he owned and operated the town’s hospital from 1914 to 1950. And he made house calls. Not just house calls, but ranch calls. In summer, he navigated dirt roads in a snappy automobile. In mud season, he needed real horsepower hitched to a buggy or wagon. In winter, Doc donned a warm bearskin coat, burrowed into blankets and relied on his sleigh driver to traverse snowcovered roads and fields to modest homes. There, he would deliver babies, set broken bones, treat the sick and comfort the dying. It is no exaggeration to say Doc had more friends and admirers than any other resident

of northwest Colorado. He even was elected mayor of Steamboat Springs. In the 1920s, he directed vital civic improvements such as construction of a fire station, Long Lake dam and the Fish Creek water line. By 1946, Doc was approaching retirement age, and he in turn approached the town’s leaders. They embraced his idea of forming a nonprofit organization to build and run a new hospital, which opened in 1950. It is this same organization that built and now operates YVMC. And that is a connection I like to make on every tour. Admittedly, I am a history buff. I regret that I arrived here in Steamboat three years too late to meet Doc Willett. The next best thing was talking to people who knew and loved him. What a privilege it was to know Natalie Stanko — Doc’s niece and Jim Stanko’s mother. Natalie came to Colorado during the Great Depression to help out at her uncle’s hospital. She stayed to marry a rancher, raise a family and volunteer for more than 30 years at the hospital and nursing home. So much has changed since 1914, when Doc took over a failing hospital and poured his heart and most of his personal funds into saving it. Ninety-five years later, about 88 doctors representing 30 specialties serve on the medical staff of YVMC. “We take for granted the outstanding facilities which we find in our modern, fully equipped hospital on the hill.” That comment from Doc’s 1970 obitu-

ary, describing Routt Memorial Hospital, easily could apply to YVMC today. “But,” the obituary continues, “we should now, more than ever, remember that there was a man who had the courage to dream a dream for his fellow man and then make it come true.” Valuing the memory of Doc Willett while celebrating our shared health care heritage is the goal of a new event. On Sept. 12, our Healthcare Foundation for the Yampa Valley will honor two individuals who have advanced Doc’s legacy and improved our community.

Livestock auction gross sales down Gross sales from this year’s junior livestock auction were down from last year despite selling 32 more animals, said Routt County 4-H Extension Agent Jay Whaley. He said the total was $191,334, which was down from $250,422 a year ago. Whaley said this year was only the second in the past 11 in which gross sales didn’t exceed the previous year. “It’s pretty reflective of what’s going on right now (with the economy),” he said.

said after their first Pretty Baby Contest, they’ll likely return while her daughter is young enough to compete. “It was fun, very fun,” she said. “We’ll do it another year, for sure. We’ll be here another couple years.”

Despite the average price for livestock decreasing this year — steers were down to $2,218 from more than $3,500 last year, and pigs were down to $1,024 from more than $1,300 last year — producers, the 4-H members, still were making a reasonable profit. For instance, a steer is sold to a producer for between $800 and $1,100, Whaley said. He added that $2,834 from the sale would be put into the Pud Stetson Memorial Fund, a scholarship fund for 4-H members.

Tough duty for judges The Pretty Baby Contest immediately was followed by the brownie and cookie contest, judged by county commissioners and mayors from county towns. Judges included Routt County commissioners Nancy Stahoviak, Doug Monger and Diane Mitsch Bush, in addition to Hayden Mayor Lorraine Johnson, Oak Creek Town Board member Dave Fisher and Yampa Mayor Bruce Pitts. They were forced to taste four different brownies and seven varieties of cookies, a job most joked was the toughest at the fair. But in the end, cherry walnut brownies baked by Charlie Epp, who runs C’s Catering in Hayden, were named grand champion. “I make these brownies all the time,” said Epp, who won for the first time in his fourth year entering them in a home arts competition at the fair. “I get a lot of requests for them.” Dave Fisher represented See Fair, page 13

��

Being a judge in Sunday’s Pretty Baby Contest at the 95th Routt County Fair isn’t an enviable position for most people. In fact, contest superintendent Tena Frentress joked that doing the job made its judges the least popular people in the county, noting the possibility of upsetting some parents. “I was kind of nervous,” admitted judge Lanette Laman, 16, of Oak Creek. “It’s hard because all the babies are cute. It was a lot of fun, but some of the decisions were really hard.” Laman was one of three judges asked to participate from the South Routt chapters of the National FFA Organization and 4-H to fill in for the fair’s royalty, which was unable to attend the contest. Despite the perceived cutthroat nature of the Pretty Baby Contest, parents seemed to take a light-hearted approach to it, but there was one undeniable fact: They all wanted to show off their children Sunday morning at the fairground’s Exhibition Hall in Hayden. Winners in each division were awarded savings bonds, which were donated by Wells Fargo and Mountain Valley Bank. And each baby, as old as age 3, was awarded a ribbon for participation. Divisions included most photogenic, best hair, brightest eyes, best waddle, cutest dimples, chubbiest feet, best hat, best laugh, best cowboy and cowgirl, future rodeo royalty and even best temper tantrum. Lane Iacovetto, of Steamboat Springs, said her husband, Jarad, was competing in the Ranch Rodeo in the afternoon so they decided to bring their daughters, Kiley, 1, and Makayla, 3, to the Pretty Baby Contest. She said it was their first time competing. “It’s fun,” Lane Iacovetto said. “I think it’s great they give away savings bonds. And it’s something the kids will always have fun doing.” Cindy Mosciaro, of Hayden, brought her 17-month-old daughter, Ella and 3-yearold son, Sam, to compete. Mosciaro said it was their second year. Like Iacovetta, Mosciaro also cited the importance of the savings bonds and said they would be put toward her children’s college funds. Hayden resident Alena Velasquez’s 13-month-old daughter, Grace, was awarded for having the chubbiest feet. Velasquez

Know your berries before sampling

�

��

iking along the North Fork of the Elk River each fall, I can’t help but sample the ripe raspberries lining the river side of the trail. Yum. Now that some shrubs and perennials are done blooming, many plants are producing gorgeous berries in hues of white, orange, red, purple, blue and black. The beautiful berries on the shrubs we see on hiking trails, in gardens and in parks across the Steamboat area, are some of the most delicious you’ll ever taste, but beware: some also are the most deadly if eaten. The toxicity of berries on plants in the mountains of Routt County span the full spectrum from berries that are safe and healthful, to those that

GARDENING WITH

Deb Babcock will make you sick, to some that can be fatal if eaten. Among the edible berries that grow well in our zone 3-4 garden environment are raspberries, currants, gooseberries, elderberries and serviceberries. Also edible are thimbleberries, chokecherries, Oregon grape berries, kinnikinnic berries and huckleberries. Of course, eating too many or eating them while not quite ripe can cause a stomachache similar to eating too many green apples or other immature fruit.

Serviceberry (Amelanchier sp) is a common shrub found throughout the Steamboat area. It goes by many names in the West; here, most people call it ‘sarvisberry.’ The berries, which ripen in mid-summer, are round like blueberries, red when young and purple-black when mature. These are great for jams, jellies, sauces and beverages. The birds also adore serviceberries and spend many hours in the dense foliage. Chokecherry (Purnus virginiana) shrubs enjoyed a fabulous bloom this year, thanks to all the early moisture from heavy winter snows. Grape-like clusters of blooms morph into round, dark-purple berries that are very astringent when fresh. See Babcock, page 11

Controversy growing about Columbine Interest groups spar about snowmobile access routes in North Routt County STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Routt County residents and others have one more week to have their voices heard on the Columbine Access Project, which will dictate how snowmobiles access U.S. Forest Service lands in North Routt County. The issue is about the only thing that comes close to political controversy in the vast and remote region that stretches from the Elk River Valley to the Wyoming border. In the latest iteration of the debate, snowmobiling and non-motorized interest groups are rallying their troops and submitting competing proposals in an effort to access or protect their favorite areas of the backcountry. The goal of the Columbine Access Project, U.S. Forest Service recreation specialist Kent Foster said, is to maintain snowmobile access from Steamboat Lake State Park to federal forest lands to the north and also to improve a troubling parking situation at the intersection of Routt County Road 129 and Forest Service Road 550 in Columbine. “There’s not enough parking, and we end up getting people parking illegally” on the side of C.R. 129, Foster said. The Forest Service also hopes to create a new route for snowmobiles traveling between the parking lot and Steamboat Lake. Currently, snowmobilers use a groomed route along F.S.R. 490, which crosses private property along a Forest Service easement, until it connects with C.R. 129 south of Columbine. They then follow that road north to the parking lot. Both the parking lot and the route have proved annoying to some people who live in the residential area of Columbine. “It’s just a mess,” said Leslie Lovejoy, a Columbine resident and director of Friends of the Routt Backcountry. “It’s just become quite a big problem.” Foster said private property owners along F.S.R. 490 want to have the road plowed to allow vehicular access to their properties. “That and a groomed snowmobile trail don’t do to well with each other,” Foster said. “We’re looking to maintain the access from Steamboat Lake to the forest without using that route.” To fix the parking problem, the Forest Service has proposed building a new 2- to 3-acre parking lot 1.5 miles northeast of Columbine on F.S.R. 550. To fix the route problem, it has suggested a new groomed trail east of Columbine that would travel

north through an area known as Columbine Meadows. The Forest Service also proposes a new route south of Columbine that would travel west and provide snowmobile access to an area known as Trilby Flats. Columbine Meadows and Trilby Flats are favorite spots for backcountry skiers and other nonmotorized users of the forest.

Trilby Flats debate The Friends of the Routt Backcountry and the Routt County Riders snowmobile club have submitted competing proposals. Foster acknowledged that the trail through Columbine Meadows, a suggested nonmotorized area, could create

new problems if snowmobilers decide to go off the trail. “By putting a snowmobile trail through there, we may be inviting people to go into that area, whereas right now they stay out of it,” Foster said. George Kustiuk, vice president of Routt Powder Riders, said the club wants to cause as little disruption as possible to other users. The club’s proposal eliminates

the route through Columbine Meadows. Instead, it uses the Forest Service’s proposed route to Trilby Flats and then travels north along C.R. 129. “Our proposal just moves the route over to the west and back up 129 to where it was before,” Kustiuk said. Routt Powder Riders also proposes that a new parking lot be built at Trilby Flats, rather than north of Columbine. “We don’t really agree with the (proposed) parking lot,” Kustiuk said. “If there’s a problem with (the existing) parking lot, we’d rather have it south of Columbine.” See Access routes, page 11

COMMENTARY

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

Sarah’s ghoulish carousel Maureen Dowd

THE NEW YORK TIMES

WASHINGTON

I’m not sure the man who popped off and tweeted that Sonia Sotomayor was a “Latina woman racist” is the best Henry Higgins for the Eliza Doolittle of Alaska. But Newt Gingrich was a professor. And he does know something about pulling yourself up by dragging down others and imploding when you take center stage — both Palin specialties. Besides, he agrees with Sarah — who fretted that Dowd her parents and son Trig might be in danger from Obama “death panels” — that we should be very wary about trusting government with end-of-life decisions. So Newt took it upon himself to become Palin’s Pygmalion. He told

Politico that the out-of-work pol should write a book; take a commentator gig on TV; get a condo in D.C. or New York to use as an East Coast base; and prepare three types of speeches — one “to make money,” another to “project her brand” before universities and interest groups, and a vivid campaign stump speech to use for Republican candidates in 2010. Most important, he advised, the dizzy Palin has to be “clear in her own head what she wants to do.” At the moment, what she wants to do is tap into her visceral talent for aerialshooting her favorite human prey: cerebral Ivy League Democrats. Just as she was able to stir up the mob against President Barack Obama on the trail, now she is fanning the flames against another Harvard smarty-pants — Dr. Zeke Emanuel, a White House health care adviser and the older brother of Rahmbo. She took a forum, Facebook, more

commonly used by kids hooking up and cyberstalking, and with one catchy phrase, several footnotes and a zesty disregard for facts, managed to hijack the health care debate from Obama. Sarahcuda knows, from her brush with Barry on the campaign trail, that he is vulnerable on matters that demand a visceral and muscular response rather than a logical and book-learned one. Obama was charming and informed at his town hall in Montana on Friday, but he’s going to need some sustained passion, a clear plan and a narrative as gripping as Palin’s I-see-dead-people scenario. She has successfully caricatured the White House health care effort, making it sound like the plot of the 1976 sci-fi movie “Logan’s Run,” about a postapocalyptic society with limited resources where you can live only until age 30, when you must take part in an extermination See Dowd, page 9

Testing ObamaCare’s meddle Jonah Goldberg

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

If I went to a Democratic town hall, I’d probably boo, too. Hence, according to various Democrats and supporters of ObamaCare, I’m paranoid and just a bit unpatriotic. Well, let me dilate on my paranoid treachery for a moment. Under the plan discussed at President Barack Obama’s infomercial-esqe town halls, America would cut costs and expand coverGoldberg age while avoiding rationing. Apparently, it’s paranoid to think that’s too good to be true. Imagine you’re in charge of bringing pie to a company picnic. You’re planning to provide dessert for 100 people. Then, your boss says you need to hand out pie to 150. Fine, you say, I’ll make more pies.

MALLARD FILLMORE

But — oh no! — you can’t because you’ve also been told costs must go down. OK, then you can cut slices of the existing pies smaller so everyone can have a piece. Wait! You can’t do that either because you’re not allowed to ration (i.e., give less to more). According to Obama, the health care pie will be sliced into more pieces, of equal or greater size than available now, for less money — all because government is so much better than the private sector at managing large projects. Such contradictions run through the talking points for ObamaCare. Consider life expectancy. In his big speech before the American Medical Association in June, Obama insisted that “the quality of our care is often lower, and we aren’t any healthier. In fact, citizens in some countries that spend substantially less than we do are actually living longer than we do.” It’s true, a few countries beat us in terms of life expectancy. But life expectan-

cy is only partly about health care. Other factors matter. Swaziland’s life expectancy is 31.88 years. That doesn’t mean the average Swazi dies just a couple of weeks before his 32nd birthday. It means lots of people die young and a few people die old and the average comes out to around 32. According to the CIA World Factbook’s 2009 estimate, American life expectancy is 78.11 years. In the UK — with its nationalized system — it’s a whopping 79.01. Taiwan’s is 77.96 and so is Albania’s. Do we really think the best explanation for all this is how they pay for medical care? Or perhaps things such as diet and culture are more important? Is Japan’s health care system what explains Japanese longevity, or is it that fish and seaweed are staples of the Japanese diet? Even greater disparities exist within America. Asian-American women, according to a 2006 study by Harvard’s See Goldberg, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

Palin consistency sent to a death panel ceremony called “Carousel” or flee the city. Painting the Giacomettiesque Emanuel as a creepy Dr. Death, Palin attacked him on her Facebook page a week ago, complaining that his “Orwellian thinking” could lead to a “death panel” with bureaucrats deciding whether to pull the plug on less hardy Americans. Never mind that Palin herself had endorsed some of the same end-of-life counseling she now depicts as putting Grandma down. As the Democratic National Committee pointed out, Palin put out a 2008 proclamation for Healthcare Decisions Day “to raise public awareness of the need to plan ahead for health care decisions, related to end-oflife care ... and to encourage the specific use of advance directives to communicate these important health care decisions.”

Consistency long ago was sent to a death panel in Palin world. Sensing traction, she took more shots against Dr. Emanuel, quoting the bioethicist’s past writing that some medical services might not be guaranteed to those “who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens. ... An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia.” “Dr. Emanuel,” she wrote ominously, “has also advocated basing medical decisions on a system which ‘produces a priority curve on which individuals aged between roughly 15 and 40 years get the most chance, whereas the youngest and oldest people get chances that are attenuated.’” She crowed that she had him on the run, and the White House thought that the doctor, who was being portrayed as a proponent of euthanasia, needed to get out there and explain his

opposition to euthanasia. So he interrupted his hiking vacation in the Italian Alps to give a raft of phone interviews saying he was taken out of context and calling Palin’s charges “completely off the wall.” But, much to Sarah’s delight, he also conceded to The Washington Times that his “thinking has evolved” on the “very vexing” issue of deciding who gets treatment and who doesn’t. “When I began working in the health policy area about 20 years ago ... I thought we would definitely have to ration care, that there was a need to make a decision and deny people care,” he told the paper, adding that he now thinks that if we get rid of expensive “unnecessary care” that “we would have absolutely no reason to even consider rationing except in a few cases.” A few cases? Sounds like another Facebook entry for Sarah.

Liberals distrustful with civil liberties Goldberg continued from 8 School of Public Health, have a life expectancy of 87 years, while for African-American men it’s 69. The healthiest white people in America are the low-income folks of the Northern Plains states. Again, is our health care system the biggest factor? But here’s the kicker: The more life expectancy improves, the more we will spend on health care. Despite his professed outrage over charges of “death panels” and whatnot, Obama admits this. In an interview with The New York Times last spring, he acknowledged that oldsters are a “huge driver of cost.” The “chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are

accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health care bill out here,” Obama explained. Which is why he advocated an advisory panel of experts to offer “guidance” on end-of-life care and costs. But don’t you dare call it a death panel. Now, I don’t think “Soylent Green”-style solutions are coming down the pike. (Government cheese is people!) But every nationalized health care system to one degree or another rations care based on the quality of life and number of “life years” a procedure will yield. That’s perfectly reasonable. If you put me in charge of everyone’s health care, I would do that, too. That’s a really good argument for not giving me — or anyone else

— that power. When it comes to civil liberties, liberals often are distrustful of government power. But, for reasons that baffle me, they are quite comfortable with Uncle Sam getting into the business of deciding, or providing “guidance” on, which lives are more valuable than others. A government charged with extending life expectancy must meddle not just with our health care, but with what we eat, how we drive, how we live. A government determined to cut costs must meddle not just with how we live, but how we die. That sounds scary and unAmerican to me. And if that makes me paranoid and unpatriotic, then I am what I am.

The Friends of the Routt Backcountry proposal eliminates all snowmobile routes near Columbine and along C.R. 129 north of Steamboat Lake. It also wouldn’t allow trailer parking at the existing parking lot. Instead, snowmobilers would park at Steamboat Lake State Park and follow existing trails that go around Hahn’s Peak Village and farther to the east. Lovejoy said the proposal

represents the organization’s ideal situation and that she could live with the trail through Columbine Meadows. She said she even supports the new parking lot on F.S.R. 550. What is unacceptable, however, Lovejoy said, is any routes to, or parking lots at, Trilby Flats. “It’s a very important area to preserve as a non-motorized area,” Lovejoy said. “We need some quiet area. … They don’t need a new route that cuts right through Trilby Flats.”

Foster said that no changes would be implemented in time for this winter. The Columbine Access Project is under a formal comment period that ends Aug. 25. “We do have a wide range of alternatives to hopefully improve the situation up there,” Foster said. For more information about the Columbine Access Project, including instructions about how to submit comments, call Foster at 870-2142.

Be careful when picking, eating wild berries Babcock continued from 4 The only edible part of this fruit is the fleshy outer part of the cherry; toss the pits. The fruit ripens in late summer and can be used in jams, jellies, syrup, pies and wine. Mountain ash (Sorbus sp), with its bright orange berries, is an important source of nourishment for birds and small mammals. Its berries are quite sour until after the first frost. Some use the berries for winemaking, while others dry the berries for craft projects, and most leave the berries for our forest friends. The pretty white berries on Red osier dogwood are edible

for birds but taste bitter to humans. Best to leave these berries for the wildlife. The berries of some plants are so enticing, you’re tempted to try a taste. Don’t, unless you’re certain they’re edible. Here are some berries you’ll want to avoid: Mistletoe (Phoradendron flavescnes) berries have toxins that have caused deaths of humans and livestock. Holly (Aquifoliaceae) berries contain a toxin that causes vomiting and diarrhea. The popular landscape plant, Lantana (Verbenaceae) has green berries that are very toxic. Ligustrum (Oleaceae), also known as privet, has black ber-

ries that have caused the death of several people known to have eaten them. All parts of the chinaberry (Melia azedarach), also called baneberry, are poisonous. Nightshade (Solanum nigrum) has pea-sized fruits that look like little tomatoes that will cause paralysis and death. Enjoy the berries of our beautiful mountain landscape, but be berry careful when picking and eating them. Deb Babcock is a master gardener through the CSU Cooperative Extension Routt. Questions?

Baby steps toward housing solutions Tamera Manzanares FOR THE PILOT & TODAY

On any given day, members of the Over the Hill Gang are living very much in the present. Whether hiking, biking, skiing or picnicking, members of the 50-plus club stay true to their goal of living well and having fun at the same time. They have taken charge of their health, but they also are taking charge of their future, embarking on a collaborative process that, ideally, will allow them to continue to be independent and active in the Yampa Valley as they age. “I like it here, so the logical question is, ‘How do I stay?’” said Joe Caddell, one of more than 400 members in the club. Caddell is helping organize a social seminar this week to energize community conversations focused on future housing options for older adults. The discussion will feature a presentation from Sue Birch, chief executive officer of the Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association. In its fourth year, the VNA’s Aging Well program aims to improve the health of older adults in the Yampa Valley through new or improved facilities, programs and services. Birch and other VNA representatives will explain their perspective on tackling one of the most challenging aspects of their Aging Well vision: Having a complete continuum of housing and service options to accommodate older adults in various stages of the aging process and from a variety of socio-economic and health backgrounds. “Housing is a big social determinant of health, and we have to be more creative in how we define and support the health of our entire aging community through their living situations,” Birch said.

��

Filling the continuum Unlike some rural areas, Northwest Colorado has a variety of living options for older adults including senior apartments, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities. New programs, such as adult day services, offered by the Aging Well program, also are helping older adults remain in their homes or with family caregivers, longer. What’s missing for Caddell and other active older adults, are options between the traditional homes where they live now and where they may be in later stages of life. “The question is, ‘What’s in that gray transition period?’” he said. Ideally, that transition period would include flexible housing alternatives that accommodate and encourage active, independent lifestyles but include safe and convenient access to supportive services. This likely will be creative combination of newer trends in adult retirement communities. “We like livable community models that accommodate older adults experiencing a variety of needs and adhere to healthy land use planning concepts,” Birch said. Studies have shown that older adults do not want to lose a sense of community in their transition to different housing. Developers have responded with scaled-down and more diverse alternatives to sprawling retirement villages. Some models have a campus-like setting, where residents live in small houses or duplexes. These small communities may include health, personal care and transportation services as well as wellness facilities and programs. Additional features, such as

Representatives from the VNA’s Aging Well program will discuss future housing possibilities and issues.

parks, open space, playgrounds, a child care center, café and activity centers, also appeal to the larger community, creating a lively and engaging intergenerational neighborhood setting for older adults. One version of this, the continuing care retirement community, offers several levels of care — independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing — in one location, providing a more comfortable and assured longterm living solution. These communities usually involve a long-term contract, upfront payment or fee (part of which may be refunded to a person’s estate when they die) or monthly fees to guarantee ongoing services. Potential residents usually have to be in good health to move in. Another trend in older adult communities is co-housing, little developments where residents live in private quarters but gather for communal meals, chores and activities. The communities’ layout and design reflect traditional neighborhoods and encourage a close-knit community with prominent front doors, porches and walkways as well as communal gardens and open space. The co-housing concept, originally developed for young families, can be particularly appealing to individuals or couples interested in pooling resources or being part of a family-like community of older adults.

The Haven Community Center, which hosts wellness programs, health services and an adult day program, is an example of a facility designed to meet a variety of aging residents’ needs. Exploring and planning future housing for older adults in the Yampa Valley may require a similar approach.

Community collaboration Although the VNA has no immediate plans to build older adult housing, the agency is exploring options that are realistic for our communities and support Aging Well goals: To create safe living environments and provide wellness programs and services that encourage civic engagement, healthy living and independence. The Over the Hill Gang’s “call to action” is very encouraging because of the need for community collaboration in tackling a complex issue, Birch said. “It’s going to take a strong public private partnership,” she said. “We don’t have the volume of seniors in any one socioeconomic status to support one distinct and separate solution. We have to look across all socioeconomic groups and a broad age spectrum.” Creating housing that is affordable and attractive to a wide range of older adults is just one component of process. There also needs to be variety of support services available to help individuals live independently. Creating viable transportation and finding full-time workers to assist caregivers in their homes

are just a few problems made even more difficult in our remote and rural region of the state. “It’s not just about affordable housing,” Birch said. “It’s about affordable living and affordable health services as well.” That’s why, as more and more Baby Boomers confront aging issues and hopes for their futures, it’s important to begin the conversations now. “This is just the beginning — baby steps,” Caddell said.

Oak Creek in judging the contest for the second year in a row, and he said he enjoyed it. A home arts entrant himself, Fisher lauded the importance of the fair, calling it a “fun, important and unique event.” “It brings people from all over the county,” he said about those entering and those just coming to see the fruits of someone else’s labor. “It builds community. That to me is the most important thing — the most important aspect.” Mitsch Bush said the 1,329 home arts entries — the second most, after 1,370 in 2006 — was evidence of the fair’s importance. “This is Routt County,” she said, standing inside Exhibition Hall, her hands raised in the air. “There are so many talented people in this county.” Stahoviak said in addition

and necessary to the good of the county,” she said. “It gives to our citizens a longtime aspect of Routt County. We don’t want to lose that.”

Weather Service: Area tornadoes rare, weak “They’re relatively weak,” Chamberlain said. “They’re not real strong like they are on the plains. They’ll usually register from zero to one on our scale, because there just isn’t the moisture environment here that there is on the plains.” He said tornadoes in the Western Slope region will not normally be the type to take out an entire town. However, if a funnel cloud is spotted, the conditions still could be dangerous. “They can still produce 70 or 80 mph winds,” he said. “That could definitely cause some damage. People should be aware and concerned, though it just

doesn’t happen that often.” On Saturday, the weather service recorded gusts as strong as 33 mph in the Craig area. Funnel clouds are spun low in the clouds of very strong thunderstorms. Weather service radar, the closest tower being in Grand Junction, is designed to send out beams to detect signals that might show signatures of funnel cloud formation. Chamberlain said a severe thunderstorm warning was in effect Saturday, but no tornado warning had been issued for the area. “We did see some weak signatures that might indicate the possibility for tornadoes,” he

said. “It is within our realm of responsibility to get that information across to the public.” However, with varying elevations, the weather service radar sends out signals too high to sense the activity low in the clouds as far away as Craig, he said. He recommended using common sense if high winds threaten damage in the area. Take shelter, he said, preferably in a building with a basement, and avoid the storm if driving. If you see a funnel cloud, report it to law enforcement, which will relay the information to the weather service and alert the public. ��

was approved during the last session of the Colorado Legislature. But its development began four years ago, Wenning said. Using scores from the Colorado Standard Assessment Program, which tests students annually in reading, writing and math from third through 10th grade and in science during fifth, eighth and 10th grades, a growth percentile from 1 to 99 is provided for each student, relative to students at the same starting point. The growth model determines whether a student needs to “catch up” to reach proficiency, “move up” from a proficient to an advanced level, or whether he or she can “keep up” to continue performing at a proficient or advanced level. From there, Wenning said, it can be determined what resources to dedicate to which students to maximize a child’s progress toward the goal of getting all Colorado students to proficient levels in those subjects by the 10th grade. “Ultimately, this is a signaling device,” Wenning said. “It is basic information needed to plan for improvement.” In the past, CSAP results told schools what percentage of students performed at a proficient and advanced level each year. Wenning said there was no way for students to be compared to one another or for students or groups to evaluate their progress against one another. Superintendents of Routt County school districts said the new growth model will be added to their arsenal of evaluating student growth and achievement. “We have a myriad of assessments we do individu-

Below are the basic points of the Colorado Growth Model, a new method for tracking student achievement and skill development. Learn more about the new system at www.schoolview.org. ■ The model shows how individual students and groups of students progress from year to year toward state standards. Each student’s progress is compared to the progress of other students in the state with a similar score history (based on the state’s unsatisfactory, partially proficient, proficient or advance score categories) on Colorado Student Assessment Program tests in that subject area. That progress is measured by using all available test scores for each student. ■ The model also shows which schools and districts show the highest sustained growth from year to year. Those schools may not be the ones with the highest test scores each year. ■ A median growth percentile summarizes student growth rates by district, school, grade level or other group of interest. Typical median growth for the state is 50.

■ For individual student growth, students with typical growth fall in the 35th to 65th percentile. Students with scores below the 35th percentile are considered to have low growth, and students above the 65th percentile are considered to have high growth. ■ The Growth Model assigns each student to one of three categories describing future growth. Students who are “catching up” have scored in unsatisfactory or partially proficient categories in the past and are expected to reach proficiency within three years or by the 10th grade. Students who are “keeping up” have scored in the proficient or advanced categories in the past and have shown growth to continue those scores for three years or through 10th grade. Students who are “moving up” have scored in the proficient category in the past and have shown enough growth to move into the advanced category within three years or by the 10th grade.

ally in classrooms, at school sites and district-wide,” Steamboat Springs School District Superintendent Shalee Cunningham said. “The Colorado Growth Model drills down and gives us improved information.” She said that information could be used to evaluate which students are progressing and which ones need extra help. She said it could be used to evaluate certain groups. And, Cunningham said, the growth model will be a wonderful tool during conferences for parents to review with teachers how students are progressing yearly, based on state standards. “We think that’s the most powerful aspect of this,” said Wenning, who added that a students’ complete Colorado achievement history is available in a report, regardless of whether the student has switched districts. Wenning said schools would

have special access to review that online information with parents. “With the new CDE evaluation Web site, we’ll be able to pinpoint our strategies and weaknesses and focus in on those weaknesses to correct them,” said Hayden Superintendent Greg Rockhold. Rockhold said Hayden will combine the growth model with new testing software it will begin using this year to evaluate student growth and achievement. The growth model also eliminates rating systems for schools, but SB 163 will establish a new set of criteria for schools’ achievement levels that likely won’t be determined until next fall, Wenning said.

Passenger takes heroic action after rock smashes vehicle Scott Condon THE ASPEN TIMES

BASALT

A man was killed Friday evening when a rock smashed into the windshield of his vehicle, but his wife prevented greater disaster by gaining control of the SUV and bringing it to a stop, authorities said. According to witnesses, the Chevy Tahoe was headed downvalley on Highway 82 in Snowmass Canyon when the rock blasted directly into the driver’s side of the windshield, according to Basalt Fire Chief Scott Thompson. The rock hit Thomas Murphy, 45, of Kansas City, Mo. He later was pronounced dead at Valley View Hospital, according to the Colorado State Patrol. Jennifer Murphy, who was in the front passenger’s seat, was able to gain control of the vehi-

cle, put it into neutral and coast to a stop, Thompson said. The vehicle came to rest a mile downvalley from where the rock hit the vehicle, Thompson estimated. The accident occurred at the downvalley end of Snowmass Canyon, east of the Old Snowmass Conoco. The vehicle came to rest on the right shoulder of the road between the gas station and the Lazy Glen nursery, he said. Thompson credited Jennifer Murphy for being able to get the SUV stopped in extremely traumatic circumstances. There were five people in the car, including the Murphy’s three children in rear seats. The three boys are 4, 8 and 11 years of age. None of the children were severely injured, but they were taken to a local hospital as a precaution. Jennifer Murphy received minor injuries. The accident occurred short-

ly before 5 p.m. Basalt sent two ambulances and a fire engine to the scene. The rock, described as the size of a briefcase, ended up in the vehicle. It appeared to be the same type of red sandstone common in that area of the canyon, Thompson said. It was unknown whether the rock hit the upvalley lanes before bouncing down to the lower, downvalley lanes. Rain throughout Thursday evening and into Friday may have loosened the rock from the hillside. A little more than two weeks earlier, there was an extremely close call when a boulder smashed the front quarter panel of a Land Rover Discovery heading up Fryingpan Road. The couple in the SUV escaped injury even though the boulder knocked the Land Rover down a 30-foot embankment into the Fryingpan River.

While President Barack Obama talked health care in Grand Junction on Saturday, his wife and daughters visited a peach orchard in nearby Palisade. High Country Orchards owner Theresa High said she and her family gave the Obamas a brief tour on Saturday. But Michelle High and other Obama family members didn’t give many details of what happened during the visit, saying they wanted to respect the Obamas’ privacy. “They wanted to get away,” said Matthew High, Theresa High’s son.

Talbott said if the agents had given him more warning, he could have scheduled picking in a different part of the orchard. “We are going to have to hold our crew late today in order to pack what we needed earlier to fill the trucks,” he said. Obama is the first president to visit Grand Junction in nearly 20 years. The last was George H.W. Bush in 1991.

STEAMBOAT TODAY

Bowing to heavy Republican pressure and an uneasy public, President Barack Obama’s administration signaled Sunday it is ready to abandon the idea of giving Americans the option of government-run insurance as part of a new health care system. Facing mounting opposition to the overhaul, administration officials left open the chance for a compromise with Republicans that would include health insurance cooperatives instead of a government-run plan. Such a concession probably would

enrage Obama’s liberal supporters but could deliver a much-needed victory on a top domestic priority opposed by GOP lawmakers. Obama Officials from both political parties reached across the aisle in an effort to find compromises on proposals they left behind when they returned to their districts for an August recess. Obama had wanted the government to run a health insurance organization to help cover the nation’s almost 50 million uninsured but didn’t include it as one of his core principles of reform.

��

20487848

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said that government alternative to private health insurance is “not the essential element” of the administration’s health care overhaul. The White House would be open to co-ops, she said, a sign that Democrats want a compromise so they can declare a victory. Under a proposal by Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., consumer-owned nonprofit cooperatives would sell insurance in competition with private industry, not unlike the way electric and agriculture co-ops operate, especially in rural states such as his own. With $3 billion to $4 billion in initial support from the government, the co-ops would operate under a national structure with state affiliates, but independent of the government. They would be required to maintain the type of financial reserves that private companies are required to keep in case of unexpectedly high claims. “I think there will be a competitor to private insurers,” Sebelius said. “That’s really the essential part, is you don’t turn over the whole new marketplace to private insurance companies and trust them to do the right thing.”

Laughlin looks at the big picture

ill Laughlin is all about the story. And when Laughlin writes a story or is part of a story, the last thing he wants it to be is boring. Laughlin’s latest tale took him from Fort Collins to Steamboat Springs as part of the Wild West Relay. He covered all 200 miles by himself. He battled his mind, hallucinations and no sleep for 59 hours. Laughlin has completed multiple ultramarathons. On Saturday, about a week after the Wild West Relay, he said he finally was starting to feel like himself. But for the past week, he’s been a mess. His legs and feet were swollen, he felt like he had the flu and his mind wasn’t able to focus. “Now I know what my dog feels like,” Laughlin said. “It’s got a great attitude and it’s a sweet old dog, but everything hurts. It’s hard to get up, lie down or get out of bed. At about 4 p.m. every day, I’ve had it, and I’m useless.” But Laughlin said the expedition was one of the best things he’s ever done. Although after the race he couldn’t quite explain the expedition’s impact, the past week has given him time to reflect on just what 200 miles means. The run, like so many other things, was part of life’s lessons. Maybe the most important thing, Laughlin said, was that he learned to always be in the present. Many times during the race, Laughlin found himself looking ahead to the finish. Often times, bad thoughts crept into his head. “I was looking at the finish line imagining all these people getting tired of waiting for me,” he said. “I got so discouraged.” But that’s when Laughlin learned that every moment, no matter what, inevitably is manageable.

At times it was almost perfectly still, only the rustle of a soft breeze in aspens and the occasional tweet of a bird interrupting silence. Through that serenity, they

came. Footfalls echoed across Mount Werner and the heavy breathing of a race well-run cut through the air, as one by one of another record field checked off what, this time, was the most difficult race in the summer-long Steamboat Springs Running Series. Nearly 100 competitors

made their way first up, then down the grueling trail, flying 16 miles and making its 11th version the most successful in the Continental Divide trail run’s history. “It was beautiful. Really beautiful,” said Steve Gantert, a Wisconsin runner who traveled to Steamboat for the race

while in Fort Collins on vacation. “I took it easy so I could stay lucid enough to enjoy the views.” The swarm of runners came from across the United States, but the women’s champion, Jenna Gruben, represented See Running Series, page 22

Jorge De La Rosa spared the Colorado Rockies from another doubleheader sweep. Two weeks after De La Rosa won the second game of a doubleheader against the New York Mets, the Rockies starter shut down the Florida Marlins

7-3 for a split Sunday night. The Marlins won the opener, 10-3, behind homers from Hanley Ramirez and Chris Coghlan and a two-run single by Chris Volstad in a five-run second inning. A rainout Saturday night

forced Sunday’s doubleheader. De La Rosa got his ninth win in 10 decisions as the Rockies remained 1 1/2 games ahead of San Francisco in the National League wild-card race. Florida fell two games back. “Every win is very important for us now, especially over this team,” De La Rosa said. “They are fighting with us for the wild

card.” Clint Barmes and Brad Hawpe each hit two-run homers as De La Rosa benefited from a 4-0 lead after three innings. Barmes’ two-run homer off Rick VandenHurk gave the Rockies a 3-0 lead in the second. Barmes drove VandenHurk’s See Rockies, page 21

Laughlin’s story won’t ever be boring It’s something he said everybody should know. In his barest element, Laughlin was a wreck. His foot had a stress fracture, he’d gone through an asthma attack, and he still wasn’t at the finish line. But he didn’t quit. He continued on and managed the situation at hand, and didn’t look at the future. He controlled only what he could, and at that moment, it meant controlling himself.

Laughlin said he wouldn’t start training for his next race for at least three more weeks. He plans on doing the Badwater Ultramarathon. Although he won’t reveal his goals for the race, he said the Wild West Relay has him thinking bigger. He’s currently putting together workouts with his coach at www. impossible2possible.com, for people looking to do things they’ve never thought they could.

He said getting out of comfort zones is necessary element for people, and ultimately combine humility with confidence. Often, Laughlin said, the insights and benefits are hard to articulate. Laughlin’s story undoubtedly will continue. Where it goes from here, even Laughlin isn’t sure about. The only guarantee, however, is that it won’t be boring. — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

Gonzalez also homered in the first inning of the first game. “This is a very good baseball

club that we just faced,” Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. “Their approach, to their credit, was relentless. We had to work really hard in the second game to win the game.” De La Rosa quashed a Marlins rally in the fifth. After surrendering Emilio Bonifacio’s one-out RBI single base, De La Rosa struck out Ramirez and Jorge Cantu with two runners on base. De La Rosa (11-8) left after two outs in the sixth. He allowed seven hits and one unearned run, walked three

and struck out nine. “I felt a little bit tired in the fourth,” De La Rosa said. “But I made good pitches when I was in trouble. That helped me.” Hawpe’s two-out, two-run homer off VandenHurk in the sixth increased Colorado’s lead to 6-1. VandenHurk (2-2) was replaced after walking Garrett Atkins. He allowed six runs, five hits, walked three and struck out nine in 5 2/3 innings. “I just made mistakes; they swung it hard and hit it out,” VandenHurk said.

Brandon Marshall returned to practice Sunday for the Denver Broncos. Marshall had missed more than a week of workouts with a leg injury. On Friday, a jury in Atlanta had found him not guilty of misdemeanor battery against his former girlfriend. “For almost a year and a half now, I’ve been swearing to my teammates and the community that I’m not that guy that they were portraying me to be,” Marshall said about the trial

and the case made against him. “Finally, to stand in front of a jury where they finally see both sides and for it to be a fair stage, the truth finally came out.” “There are going to be those

who still believe otherwise, but the truth came out on Friday,” Marshall said. Safety Brian Dawkins also returned to practice with his right hand heavily wrapped over a cast and was wearing an orange protective jersey. Dawkins had been out since Aug. 3 with a broken right hand. “I’ve done it before in my career,” Dawkins said about having to wear a cast. “I had to play with it for a wrist back in the day, way back in the day, so I’m used to it.”

As for Marshall, at times he looked like the player who caught 206 passes, 13 for touchdowns the passed two seasons. He hauled in a short TD pass from rookie quarterback Tom Brandstater on his first catch of the day. Later on, he reached back behind him to deflect a pass forward with his left hand and snare with right on a pass thrown by Kyle Orton. He also let passes bounce off his hands in the back of the end zone.

Kean was representative of the kind of competition that helped make Sunday’s race so large and so competitive. A veteran of the Princeton University cross country and track teams, Kean is an accomplished runner. He finished 29th in the 2004 Olympic Trials marathon. “It’s awesome,” Running Series co-director Cara Marrs said. “We had a great field of runners. It was really great.” Wherever they came from, the racers found a humbling challenge. The course started

at the parking lot at the Fisk Creek Falls trailhead. It cut up with the trail, steeply rising past the first falls and then the second falls before leveling off near Long Lake. The long stream of runners then turned back toward Steamboat Ski Area, coming up through Morningside Park, over the top of Storm Peak and down toward Thunderhead Peak and the top of the gondola. “It was beautiful,” Gruben said. “It was so beautiful, it took your mind off the pain.” Others agreed — the course was an aesthetic success.

Myanmar release of US man could thaw relations BANGKOK

Myanmar freed an ailing American whom it had sentenced to seven years of hard labor and handed him to an influential U.S. senator on Sunday, a move that could help persuade Washington to soften its hardline policy against the military regime. Sen. Jim Webb, of Virginia, who secured John Yettaw’s freedom, said he thinks years of sanctions have failed to move the Southeast Asian country toward democratic reforms or talks with detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi. Webb said he would discuss his conclusions and recommendations with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and others on his return to Washington.

Mexico cartels go from drugs to full-scale mafias CIUDAD HIDALGO, MEXICO

Mexican drug cartels have morphed into full-scale mafias, running extortion and protection rackets and trafficking everything from people to pirated DVDs. As once-lucrative cocaine profits have fallen and U.S. and Mexican authorities crack down on all drug trafficking to the U.S., gangs are branching into new ventures — some easier and more profitable than drugs. The expansion has major implications as President Felipe Calderon continues his 2 1/2year-old drug war, which has killed more than 11,000 people and turned formerly tranquil rural towns such as Ciudad Hidalgo into major battlefronts. Organized crime is seeping into Mexican society in ways not seen before, making it ever more difficult to combat. Besides controlling businesses, cartels provide jobs and social services where government has failed.

Iran defies condemnation, expands opposition trial TEHRAN, IRAN

��

Iran expanded a mass trial of opposition supporters Sunday with the addition of 25 defendants — including a Jewish teenager — in defiance of international condemnation, as France said Iran agreed to release a French woman held on spying charges from prison. The defendants are among more than 100 people charged with plotting a “soft revolution” against the Islamic theocracy during the postelection protests. The mass trial is part of an attempt to put an end to the protests by those who say Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s June 12 re-election was the result of fraud.
