Taxes cause worry Steamboat 700 affordability concerns raised Brandon Gee

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

As the city of Steamboat Springs nears a decision this fall about whether to annex Steamboat 700, concerns have been raised about how well the proposed project will achieve its No. 1 goal: affordable housing. Steamboat 700 Principal and Project Manager Danny Mulcahy said the future residents Mulcahy of the development — which proposes about 2,000 homes to be built during 20 to 30 years — could be subject to a property tax burden 20 to 50 percent higher than current residents of the city. Property in Steamboat 700 also will be subject to real estate transfer fees that will help pay for a school and affordable housing. Steamboat 700 is being asked to pay for a multitude of community needs and cover the expenses it creates for the city. Mulcahy said he is trying to balance how he factors those costs into taxes and the ultimate price of housing in the development. Some say the additional costs being incurred are appropriate for ensuring that “growth pays its own way.” “We were determined to protect the existing city resident,” said former Steamboat Springs City Councilman Jim Engelken, who helped write the city’s original West of Steamboat Springs Area Plan and is running for council again in the 2009 election. Others say all the costs are threatening the primary purpose of the plan. “I have concerns,” City Coun-

Sandy Evans Hall, the Chamber’s executive vice president, said most workshops were drawing 15 to 20 participants. About 300 people came to the stroll Friday, said Kara Givnish, special events and sponsorship coordinator for the Chamber. Saturday was expected to be busier. See Art, page 8A

Other Colorado resorts on the list were Breckenridge, Vail, Aspen/Snowmass, Winter Park and Keystone. A panel of ski writers and skiing parents reviews FamilySkiHub’s list before each ski season. Criteria include variety of ski terrain, quality and abundance of family and children’s programming, ski school reputation, activities for non-skiers and positive personal reviews from families, according to a news release. The full list and commentary about each resort are on the Best Family Ski Resorts page of FamilySkiHub.

Qwest cuts allowances for its top executives THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

Qwest Communications no longer will give its five top executives tens of thousands of dollars a year to pay for expenses such as club memberships. Qwest said it was eliminating the allowances in a filing Friday. A shareholder criticized the perk during the company’s annual meeting in May. Qwest spokeswoman Diane Reberger said the allowances were being eliminated “to simplify our executive compensation structure and to provide shareholders more transparency.” Qwest CEO Ed Mueller received the largest allowance, $75,000. He used it to pay for such things as financial counseling, physical exams and club memberships.

“We’ve always felt that living here in the Yampa Valley, this is, especially in this economy, an amazing tool for businesspeople to be using here,” she said. “So we just started marketing in this part of the world.” Members pay $15 a month to participate and 6 percent on each trade. Corporate Barter Solutions handles the paperwork, sending a statement to members once a month and tax forms at the end of the year. The Internal Revenue Service views trade exchanges as a form of external bookkeeping, Dressel said. “What CBS does is, we recruit members, and we run the organization and kind

of run the master economy,” Dressel said. “We put members together; we match them up; we make sure trades happen; we make sure people play nice in the sandbox.” Stein has 23 years of expe-

rience in the bartering world and ran Trade Exchange of the Rockies. Dressel worked with him in the barter industry for five years. They said they were hooked. Bartering “gets in your blood,” Dressel said.

Dave Sypert said he has bartered for years but joined Corporate Barter Solutions just last month. He owns Giovanni’s Ristorante with his wife, Jennifer. The couple used CBS to get tile work done at their home, Dave Sypert said. “It’s definitely a program that’s, I think, good for everybody involved,” he said. The system is beneficial partly because businesses don’t have to barter directly with one another, Stein said. So if a restaurant needs $300 worth of T-shirt printing and a T-shirt business needs $300 worth of something else, they can find it through the bartering bank. No cash changes hands.

Economist calls for reasonable solution Recovery will require balance between regulation and risk, Alice Rivlin says Blythe Terrell

It will require a “coalition of the sensible” to mend the battered U.S. economy, economist Alice Rivlin told a Steamboat Springs audience Thursday. Only a group of people willing to work reasonably across party lines can repair the market capitalism system, Rivlin said at the Strings Music Pavilion. Rivlin, an economist and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, gave the final talk in this year’s Seminars at Steamboat discussion series. Her talk was titled “The Future of Capitalism.” In it, Rivlin addressed the strengths and weaknesses of the country’s market capitalism system. She also discussed how fixing the health care system is crucial to

Rivlin

building a strong economy. Belle Sawhill, chairwoman of the seminar speaker committee, introduced Rivlin as an optimist and a groundbreaking

economist. “Back in the dark ages, when there were exactly 2 1/2 women economists in the entire world, she was one of them,” Sawhill said, “and I was trying to become the other one, and she was an inspiration to me.” Rivlin has had a front seat to the development of the economy for years. She served as vice chairwoman of the Federal Reserve Board from 1996 to 1999. She also was director of the White House Office of Management and Budget during President Bill

Clinton’s first administration. Rivlin explained market capitalism as the system through which private financial systems and securities markets make decisions about the allocation of capital, or who gets money to finance and expand businesses. “Market capitalism channels savings into their most productive uses and does it far more effectively than any central planning system can, and it even reduces many of the risks inherent in economic activity,” Rivlin said. But the system suffers from pitfalls, she noted, including “plenty of instances where unfettered greed leads to disastrous results.” That was part of what caused this recession, Rivlin said. People were taking risks with other people’s money, and excessive borrowing made for a

vulnerable economy. There are two weaknesses of the market capitalism system, she said: The market is often unstable and is prone to irrational highs and lows, and it also

generates extremes of wealth and poverty. Those issues aren’t new. “We’ve been kicking prob-

OUR VIEW

Here’s to new beginnings T

he first wave of school buses will leave the Steamboat Springs School District’s bus barn early Monday morning, bringing an official end to summer for more than 2,000 Steamboat youths and their families. Similar scenes will unfold Tuesday for South Routt students and Sept. 8 for AT ISSUE Hayden students. Start of the Each new school year brings school year renewed promise for academic and extracurricular achievement for our students. Other factors OUR VIEW bring additional optimism for a New years offer promise; successful 2009-10 school year in Routt County. this one also For the first time in several reminds us of years, all three Routt County needs. public school districts enter the fall with stability at the top. Superintendents Shalee Cunningham (Steamboat), Scott Mader (South Routt) and Greg Rockhold (Hayden) each are beginning their second years with their respective districts. There similarly was no turnover in the principal positions at any local school this summer. Several major capital projects for the Steamboat Springs School District are in the rearview mirror, allowing teachers and staff to fully focus on academics. Those projects — the new Soda Creek Elementary School, a remodeled and expanded Strawberry Park Elementary School and a remodeled front entrance at Steamboat Springs Middle School — were years in the making and cost taxpayers more than $30 million. In Hayden, the Babson-Carpenter Career and Technical Education Center enters its second year of operation, providing hands-on training in fields such as welding, auto mechanics and computer-aided drafting. The South Routt School District is set to unveil a new horticulture program to add to the high school’s existing vocational agriculture curriculum. Program additions during the past year also are making it easier for local families. Tuesday marks the beginning of the second school year in which Steamboat Springs offers full-day kindergarten. Hayden and Soroco have similar programs in place. And this summer’s opening of the Boys & Girls Club chapter in Steamboat gives local families additional affordable, quality after-school options for their students. But despite the many positives taking place in our public school systems, we’re concerned about the Hayden School District’s fiscal situation, particularly as it relates to the condition of the middle school gym. During last week’s Hayden School Board meeting, Rockhold told board members the gym is closed indefinitely because of safety concerns. Worse, the district can’t afford to foot the $20,000 to $30,000 it will cost to make the necessary repairs. Rockhold said school officials were working out a plan to provide gym space for middle school students. A facilities study indicates the 62-year-old gym needs to be reinforced with a steel frame and concrete pillars. Its doors and windows need to be replaced, and the foundation needs to be repaired. Rockhold said it’s likely the district will go to voters in November 2010 with a bond issue to build a new middle school. We’re not sure what the mood of the voters — or the economic climate — will be in fall 2010, but we know it’s not OK for one of our local schools to be in such poor condition that it poses a hazard to the safety of students and faculty. Perhaps it’s appropriate for Hayden school officials to approach the Education Fund Board and its Capital Commission with an emergency request to fund repairs to the middle school gym. Although the Capital Commission turned away a similar request from the South Routt School District earlier this year, we think there’s merit and need for consideration here. Although declining sales tax revenues will leave the Education Fund Board with fewer dollars than it’s had in previous years, declining enrollment and revenues are having a more profound impact on the Hayden School District and its ability to provide a safe facility for its middle schoolers. Finding a way to fix the gym could be the best back-to-school news of all.

FOR THE PILOT & TODAY

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR West Acres concerns In regards to the “Residents fight route” article in the Aug. 9 Steamboat Pilot & Today, I want to go on record saying it’s a shame the city of Steamboat Springs chose the route of filing a “quiet title action suit against the original mobile home park developers.” It is a shame Loui Antonucci never dreamed the road would be a problem with the trailer owners. We, the owners of the mobile homes, also have been aware of the intended road for years. We have attended the advisory and input meetings, but we never were informed of the intention to condemn our greenbelts to accommodate the building of the road. Had we been informed, the city likewise would have been informed of our very real concerns as a viable, taxpaying part of this community. You may argue that the tax on a trailer is significantly lower than that of a privately owned, stick-built home and therefore we are not entitled to consideration in this matter. However, the taxes you charge the owners of the park are greatly reflected in the amount of money we pay for monthly lot rent. My name is Terry Armstrong, and I want to emphasize that the New Victory Highway is a road to nowhere because it moves one potential traffic bottleneck to two very real and present bottlenecks. It is nearly impossible to again access from Downhill Drive east in the early morning rush hour, so most residents of the west end opt to take Routt County Road 129, where you can sit as long as three cycles of the traffic signal before turning onto U.S. Highway 40, all the while being courteous enough to give the people entering TIC space to get into the parking lot. The proposed road will have an impact on those traveling south on C.R. 129 in the mornings. The emissions from vehicles will affect our city, as will the emissions of the vehicles from the proposed 2,000 Steamboat 700 homes and the new homes slated to be built in the 360 project. Remember that ugly brown cloud that formed in the valley in the late 1980s and early 1990s? It was from woodburning stoves and was easily solved with an ordinance. Are we inviting the cloud back with no forethought of the consequences the amount of increased vehicles will produce in emissions pollution? Remember when West End Village was up for approval? The largest selling point as to why it should be approved was that it would not be visible from the

Intersection is safer

U.S. 40 corridor. What happened there? In recent editions of the Steamboat Today, there are six columns of jobs, 11 columns of residential homes and condos for rent, and 10 1/2 columns of residential homes and condos for sale. Do we need 2,000-plus more homes in the valley? They say you can’t stop progress, but should you sit idly by and be railroaded by it? I would like to see this annexation put to a public vote and then let the chips fall as they may.

Thank you to the city’s Public Works Department for the improvements made this week along Amethyst Drive near Spring Creek. The intersection is now much safer for pedestrians and bicycles, just in time for the start of school. The widened shoulders and painted crosswalks provide a critical connection to our trail system. Good job!

Voters are responsible Let’s say, for discussion’s sake, that the voters are the CEO of a corporation and the elected officials are the employees of that corporation. Then, locally, we would have about 10,000 corporate officers and seven employees. In a small business, the CEO knows the names of all the employees. The CEO lets the employees know what is expected of them. And the CEO checks up on the employees’ progress. Do you know the names of all seven members of the Steamboat City Council? Do you know which incumbents will be running for re-election this fall? Do you know how those incumbents voted, over the past two years, on issues that are important to you? If not, the local election this fall is your opportunity to change that. Who is running? What are the candidates promising you, and how do they propose to take action? Remember this about each candidate: Hold them accountable. Whether the proposed actions are actually taken or whether campaign promises are empty is the sole responsibility of the voters. In business, if the employees don’t follow through on what they promised as they applied for your job, it could be construed as fraudulent misrepresentation of self. And as their employer, it is up to you to call them on their actions. In business, bait-and-switch campaign tactics would be cause for immediate termination. Do you really want to allow those tactics in politics? The voters have the sole responsibility for what they will accept from the candidates and from their elected officials.

A Steamboat kid’s life I am 10 years old, and I have done many fun experiences; now, it is time to share them with Steamboat kids. I used to just sit around in front of the TV until I heard about some of these fun activities. If you do that at home, there is no reason — get out and do some of these rocking activities in Steamboat. First, there is the Boys & Girls Club of Steamboat. It opened this summer, and I just love it. I have been doing it only for a couple of days, but even those couple of days make me want to go every day. Here’s a couple of the things we do: field trips for bowling, mini golf and swimming. When we’re not on field trips, we are either in the art room, rec room, gym or the computer room. There are different blocks so you don’t do the same thing each block. So all of those kids who just sit in front of the TV, come try the amazing Boys & Girls Club. There also is kids’ golf. I just did a tournament, and wow, it was cool. There are lessons every Wednesday. They teach you many things about golf. It may be hard for younger kids, but that doesn’t mean they can’t do it. The tournament kids have to be at least 8 years old. My mom signed me up, and I thought it would be horrible, but it’s not at all. It’s at the Steamboat Golf Club. I mean, you have got to start at some age. Better hurry up, or you might miss your opportunity! The last activity of the week is for many different age groups. It’s called the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club cycling team. I’ll start with the youngest one — you have to be 7 to 10 years old, and it is an eight-week See Letters, page 5A

Health care is very personal; allow me to share my own story with you. Despite being a poster child for taking care of myself with excellent diet, exercise and wonderful alternative health care, I’ve managed to both “blow out” my ACL and contract Lyme disease from a tick bite. I had insurance, with a high deductable, two good incomes between my husband and myself, and it still took a year to pay off all the debt from ACL surgery. Clearly, when the Lyme disease hit, I couldn’t switch insurance policies because it would have been considered a pre-existing condition. So we were stuck with increases in premiums of as much as 25 percent in one year. My point is, if this could happen to me, this and much worse can happen to any of us, at any time. According to the Secretary Treasurer of the AFL-CIO, premiums have increased 300 percent in the past few years while wages remained flat. If we are lucky enough to have employer-covered health insurance, it’s costing our employer an arm and a leg, and still we could lose coverage at any time if we lose our job or if our employer just isn’t able to continue to cover us. Emergencies, accidents and preexisting conditions can happen to anyone at any time. I was lucky enough to hear President Barack Obama speak in Grand Junction last weekend. The crowd was polite and respectful, predominantly Republican, and asked some good, tough questions. Because it’s important to get our information from the source, rather than from biased special interest groups with loads of money, I’d like to share some of the most important things I learned straight from Obama. First, his proposal includes the following: ■ No denial of coverage for pre-existing illnesses. (In our active mountain community, how many of us have seriously injured joints, didn’t have coverage at the time, so now must live with our impairment?) ■ No arbitrary caps on coverage (90 percent of plans have caps, which can limit cancer treatment to six months, for example). ■ A limit on out-of-pocket expenses. ■ Prevention against anyone going broke because of illness (the majority of bankruptcies are because of illnesses, and in most of these cases, folks had health insurance). ■ An end to the canceling of insurance (usually just when you need it most). ■ The ability to keep your plan and your doctor, if you like. ■ The public option, a government-sponsored insurance plan that See Lewis, page 5A

Traffic and growth I have sympathy for the city in regards to traffic because if Steamboat 700 is not approved, then when growth occurs in Hayden and Stagecoach, then no one is paying for traffic studies or traffic improvements within Steamboat Springs. It goes to the question of whether Steamboat 700 increases local growth or whether local growth is going to occur regardless. The only question is where it will occur. — Scott Wedel

Let’s focus on reliable sources for health care news Lewis continued from 4A would operate with low administrative costs (about 3 percent, as compared to 17 to 33 percent for private insurance). This would enable all Americans to be covered. ■ Preventative care, including screenings and alternative health care (75 percent of health care costs go to chronic conditions, the vast majority of which could be prevented with diet and lifestyle). Obama also talked about some of the things his health care proposal doesn’t include.

No. 1 would be the “Death Panel.” Older Americans would not have to go before a panel to see whether they would be allowed to continue living. This strange notion actually originated with some thoughtful legislation put forward by the last Republican Congress offering a voluntary session with an end of life/Hospice counselor. These same congressional Republicans now are calling this option “pulling the plug on Grandma.” That’s totally dishonest and not part of a meaningful effort to solve our

health care crisis. Also not included in the president’s proposal is rationing of care. Today, rationing occurs when insurance companies deny coverage or raise rates, despite a 1,000 percent increase in profits during the past five years. In conclusion, it’s incredibly important to get our news from a reliable source and carefully scrutinize the radio and television channels’ accuracy for facts. Just last Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal and US News and World Report released a study showing that

the vast majority of misinformation that Americans believe to be true originates from FOX News. Health care is too important an issue to allow intentional lies to polarize and create fear rather than foster reasonable debate and solutions. The last time we were fed such misinformation, we were led into an unjustifiable war. Let’s not ever let that happen again. Let’s know the validity of our sources and come together as people of good will to create a health care plan that will benefit ours and future generations.

The last group, the Elite Team, is for ages 15 to 19. It is for becoming excellent mountain and road bikers. You should try these if you like biking and if you are old enough. I love all these activities,

so if you are bored, ask your parents to sign you up. You should have a great time. Steamboat kids rock!

Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki said building a new veterans hospital to serve Colorado and surrounding states is a top priority for the agency. Shinseki joined lawmakers for a groundbreaking ceremony for the new hospital on Saturday in Aurora. Veterans from all branches of the military were represented in the crowd that gathered for the event. It’s being built at the former Fitzsimons Army Hospital campus, now the University of Colorado’s medical campus. The hospital will serve Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska and Wyoming and will replace a 59-year-old facility in southeast Denver. It’s expected to open in the summer of 2013.

Drilling rates dramatically lower than last year’s rates DURANGO

The number of oil and gas drilling rigs operating in Colorado is at its lowest level since 2003, dropping to about 40 rigs in July from about 140 a year ago. Drilling across the state has declined dramatically as the recession wears on and natural gas prices remain low. Industry officials also have blamed Colorado’s new oil and gas rules. State records show that 3,339 drilling permits were approved through Aug. 6. The state issued a record 8,027 permits last year. The decline in drilling means fewer jobs in the gas fields and less tax revenue for state and county governments, fire departments and schools.

Abdullah accuses Karzai of ’rigging’ vote THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AROUND THE WORLD KABUL

President Hamid Karzai’s leading challenger accused him of using the Afghan state to “rig” this week’s election and detailed allegations of cheating by government officials in an interview Saturday. Abdullah Abdullah, once Karzai’s foreign minister, said he was in contact with other campaigns to explore the possibility of a coalition candidacy in case none of the 36 candidates won enough votes in Thursday’s ballot to avoid a runoff, probably in October. The accusations, which Karzai’s spokesman denied, are the most direct Abdullah has made against the incumbent in a contest that likely has

weeks to go before a winner is proclaimed. Abdullah and Karzai claim they are in the lead based on reports from campaign pollwatchers monitoring the count. Officials of Abdullah’s campaign have alleged fraud in several southern provinces where the insurgency is strongest and Karzai had been expected to run strong.

FBI director angry about Lockerbie bomber release WASHINGTON

FBI Director Robert Mueller sharply criticized Scotland’s justice minister for releasing the Lockerbie bomber, an act that “gives comfort to terror-

ists” all across the world. Mueller sent a letter to Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill, who cited compassionate grounds in his decision to let Abdel Baset al-Megrahi return to Libya because he has prostate cancer and was given only months to live by British doctors. The angry tone of the letter is out of character with the normally reserved Mueller, indicating his outrage is personal as well as professional. “I have made it a practice not to comment on the actions of other prosecutors,” Mueller wrote. “Your decision to release Megrahi causes me to abandon that practice in this case. I do so because I am familiar with the facts and the law.”

“When we found out something tangible and concrete was their biggest worry, we came up with a way to alleviate that,” Briggs-Casson said about the Locker Party, which began six years ago. Principal Tim Bishop said a group of about 60 seventh- and eighth-graders were there to help out the sixth-graders. He said the event also gave students a chance to put their school supplies in their lockers, making Monday’s first day that much easier. And, Bishop added, it gave parents a chance to share the experience with their children. The voluntary Locker Party has grown in popularity throughout the years.

Mulcahy: Taxes limit marketability and affordability of the project 700 continued from 1A

cil President Loui Antonucci said. “Every time you raise the financial burden to Steamboat 700, you increase the cost of the housing up there.” Antonucci said he also struggles with the argument that current city residents shouldn’t subsidize the future residents of Steamboat 700. He said the fact Steamboat is sales-taxed based means the current residents are being subsidized themselves by tourists. “To some extent, we’re all getting subsidized already,” Antonucci said. “That’s how we can have so many amenities in a town of 11,000 people.” Mulcahy seems to be leaning more toward increasing the tax burden in Steamboat 700 than the price tag on its homes. He said his market is limited to working-class people, so he doesn’t have much wiggle room on prices. He also noted he will be forced to beat the prices of comparable homes in the area. As an example, he noted that if similar homes are for sale in Silver Spur

and Steamboat 700 for the same price, a buyer would choose the Silver Spur home because it still has access to all the amenities of Steamboat 700 without the additional tax burden. The final additional tax burden in the Steamboat 700 metropolitan district is largely dependent on a fiscal impact model for capital improvements to be discussed at a Sept. 8 City Council meeting. The model will spell out what improvements Steamboat 700 is responsible for constructing and when. “Taxes and transfer fees do limit the marketability and affordability of the project,” Mulcahy said. “I would love not to put any additional taxes in. … It’s not fair, but it’s also not my prerogative.” At the moment — and in present-day dollars — Mulcahy estimated that about 1,000 of the homes in Steamboat 700 will be priced at $500,000 and less, with an average price of about $280,000. That includes products that range from apartments to detached homes on small lots. The other 1,000 homes will be

city. The city or Yampa Valley Housing Authority would develop affordable housing on the land. The city’s West of Steamboat Springs Area Plan calls for 33 percent affordable housing, with 20 percent provided by the developer. Steamboat 700 originally had proposed coupling a real estate

transfer tax with inclusionary zoning strategies that would have required 25 percent of its housing to be made available to Routt County workers earning 70 to 160 percent of the area median income. Developers who already have built units under the city’s inclusionary zoning policies have experienced difficulties selling and financing the units. “I think it’s important to learn from the lessons that are going on right now,” Planning Services Manager John Eastman said earlier this year. A city staff report states that replacing inclusionary zoning with land dedication “eliminates the difficult and time-consuming process of negotiating requirements related to number of units, unit size, target AMI, design standards, unit pricing, etc.” In addition to the unanimous blessing of council and city staff, the alternative approach also was supported by the developer, the Housing Authority and affordable housing advocates the Community Alliance of the Yampa Valley.

Food demonstration draws crowd at All Arts Festival Art continued from 1A “Today it’s great to have all the entertainment going on, and downtown is abuzz with the farmers market and us,” Givnish said. “Lots of smiles on people’s faces.”

Bill Hamil, proprietor of Steamboat Meat & Seafood Co., showed off the art of filleting a fish. He worked on salmon, halibut and sturgeon before moving to oysters. The crowd grew as Hamil’s knife flashed. “Next, I’m just going to shuck a couple oysters and show you how to do it without putting a knife or screwdriver through your hand,” he said. Hamil wedged an oyster knife into the shell, keeping a towel over the top to protect his hand, and popped up the oyster, slicing the muscle to release the meat. The crowd edged closer, snagging tastes of salmon and sampling the blue point oysters. Jerry Scavezze brought his goldsmith skills to the festival. He won third place in a competition among artists. Scavezze said he had a gallery in Steamboat 20 years ago but hadn’t done shows in town for a while. Scavezze now lives in Salida. “I was invited to this one,” he said. “This seems to be the right venue.” Scavezze said he sold a couple of pieces of jewelry Friday but hadn’t sold any Saturday as of about 1 p.m. “The town mushrooms on the weekend, not Friday afternoon,” Scavezze said. “I’m expecting a better turnout today now that there’s music and food. It’s high-energy.” Andy Marquez took second place in the art contest. The Denver-based photographer has come to Steamboat for Art in the Park since 1986, missing

Teresa Hansen, of Loveland, was selling limitededition bronze sculptures that she and her son Jason Dreweck made. Hansen has sculpted for nearly 30 years, and Dreweck joined her a couple of years ago. One of the sculptures featured Jason and his brother, Jeremy, as they snowboarded down a huge curve. That was Jason Dreweck’s idea, Hansen said. The pair received a call requesting their presence at the All Arts Festival. Hansen said she recently married someone who has a condominium in Steamboat, so she decided to come. “It was just an ideal time to come here and do the show,” she said. Hansen said she wasn’t sure how her sculptures would move. “We’ll see by tomorrow,” Hansen said. “It all depends.

Bartering beyond the region possible

Rivlin: Universal health care now necessary Rivlin continued from 3A lems down the road for quite a while and have gotten used to doing it,” Rivlin said. “It’s easy.” But the recession has made the systemic weaknesses impossible to ignore, Rivlin said. It also provides a needed push for the country to try to fix the problems. “We have a chance to strengthen market capitalism so it’s less prone to create another devastating boom/bust cycle like the one we’re living in,” she said. That’s where Rivlin’s coalition of the sensible comes in. People across political parties must sit down together and

come up with a way to balance regulation with risk-taking, she said. Rivlin also spoke about the need for health care reform. The recession has made vulnerable Americans even more vulnerable, she said. It also puts more pressure on a nation already in debt. “The long-term deficits were created by our reluctance to face up to the fact that our population is aging, and we’ve made promises to our future retirees that our tax structure will not support,” Rivlin said. The country has known for years that its health care spending was growing faster than its other spending, she said.

Universal care is necessary at this point, Rivlin said. She suggested an exchange that includes a variety of plans and government subsidies for low-income people. “What’s controversial or most controversial is whether one of the competing plans that would be offered on these exchanges would be a public plan or a government plan,” Rivlin said. “Personally, I don’t think it’s essential that one of these plans be a government plan. I think it would be better to establish a framework for universal coverage, get the exchange up and running, and see how these providers do creating a package.”

exposed in the marketplace,” he said. Dave Sypert has seen the effects of that. Corporate Barter Solutions is linked to a global network that allows people to barter beyond the region, and a Houston woman came in to use bartering dollars at Giovanni’s. She brought others along who paid in cash. “So not only does Dave get his cash out of it, he also got exposure,” Dressel said. She and Stein have been in Steamboat Springs for about five years. They love the area and are part of the community, Dressel said. The couple also operates Affordable Flooring Warehouse. “This isn’t where you’ve got nameless, faceless people at the end of an Internet site,” she said. “We’re local people. … We’re real, live people that have got a lot of experience in this industry.”

tising and things I need,” Sumerfield said. “For instance, I needed signage for my new location; I needed a forklift; I needed painting done; I needed lighting done.” He sees it as an alternative type of currency. Plus, Sumerfield said, bartering brings him business he might not otherwise have. “I don’t want to necessarily change cash customers into trade customers,” he said. “That’s not a good plan, but certainly bringing people in because it saves my cash.” Corporate Barter Solutions members have an account that tracks their spending. They can barter for services and trade and then transfer credits to other accounts, or members can request CBS dollars to use at other businesses that participate. Those who barter with a restau-

rant, for example, could pay for a meal with CBS dollars but still would pay the sales tax and tip. Businesses that barter are keeping workers busy who might otherwise be sitting still during a slow period, Dressel said. “You’ll see underutilized and unused capacity a lot,” Dressel said. For example, she noticed that a recent forecast put lodging at 45 percent occupancy for a Saturday night. Hotels could trade those open rooms, which they pay overhead for anyway, and get a service they need. Stein used the example of a house painter. The painter barters his services and paints someone’s house. The truck outside, bearing the company’s name, attracts a neighbor seeking an estimate. That barter deal therefore could lead to a cash sale, Stein said. “The most successful businesspeople take advantage of being

Some commercial rentals offer deals at renewal Prudential Steamboat Realtor and retail business owner Steve Hitchcock told Rotarians on Tuesday that as commercial leases in Steamboat come up for renewal, some tenants have been able to negotiate lower rent based on the soft economy. “When leases are up for renewal, that’s when tenants’ leverage becomes more pronounced,” he said. Landlords can look around and see empty storefronts in the downtown commercial district. Rents here have been high — $26, $27, $30 and even $32 per square foot. However, Hitchcock said, those high rates often are justified based on the old axiom that the occupying expense of a business should be less than 10 percent of gross revenues. That’s because revenues of $350, $375 and $400 per square foot are not unheard of. The very best retailers and restaurant owners may gross $500 per square foot.

Colorado Group Realtors prepare for short sales Greg Danziger and Eliese Pivarnik, of Colorado Group Realty, recently earned the designation of Certified Distressed Property Expert after completion of training in foreclosure avoidance and short sales. Their development of a new specialty comes at a time when the Steamboat market is seeing distressed homeowners confronted by the foreclosure process. A short sale occurs when a lender agrees to accept less than the full balance that is owed on the loan at closing, allowing the borrower and lender to avoid the more costly foreclosure process. Short sales have the potential to save some homeowners from foreclosure and possible bankruptcy. Experts suggest that even the luxury home market is not immune. “Many people behind on their mortgage think foreclosure is their only option,” Pivarnik said. Realtors trained in the sort sale process can shorten the time it takes to sell a distressed home, she added.

Entry-level buyers are key to mid-range properties

ealtors in Steamboat Springs were keeping a lookout for entry-level buyers this month, as the Routt County market showed signs of a late summer upswing. During the two-week period from Aug. 6 to STORY BY 20, records TOM ROSS on file at the Routt County Assessor’s Office reflect 20 real estate closings, not including timeshare sales. There were some milliondollar-plus transactions, but the deals that may prove to pique the most interest of Realtors were the sale of a 650square-foot condo on Anglers Drive for $164,900, and a Fish Creek Falls condominium for $199,500. Those are the type of sales that could be emblematic of entry-level buyers beginning to come back into the market, Realtors say. And in turn, they could set young families free to move up into single-family homes in the price points between $500,000 and $800,000. Some Realtors report a dearth of those entry-level buyers, while others see signs that they’re back in the game. “We need entry level, firsttime buyers,” Coleman Cook, of Colorado Group Realty, told a noon gathering of the Steamboat Springs Rotary Club on Aug. 18. “All of us have buyers who want to

take advantage of the current buyer’s market and trade up to single-family homes. The problem is they need to sell their Stagecoach townhome to do it.” Cam Boyd, broker owner at Prudential Steamboat Realty, agreed that without first-time buyers to absorb entry-level townhomes and condos, it’s difficult to sell move-up, singlefamily homes in the middle of the residential price range. “We have an exodus of carpenters and other construction

workers,” Boyd said. “We don’t have the people coming up,” to purchase those homes. Boyd’s colleague, Lisa Olson, said she is seeing movement at the entry level. She cites the recent sale of a Sierra View condo in Oak Creek for $169,900 as a sign that things are loosening up. “In that lower-end market, there are people wanting to move if the price is right,” she said. Olson stressed that with mortgage rates just above 5

percent, and the impending end of the federal tax credit of as much as $8,000 for first-time homebuyers — or homebuyers who haven’t owned in three years or more — there is a narrow window of opportunity that will close Nov. 30. Realistically, Olson said, homebuyers need to be under contract in early October to take advantage of the tax credit. Veteran Realtor Randall Hannaway, of Colorado Group Realty, said in 20 years, he has

not seen the convergence of market factors that the Routt County market is experiencing right now. In other years, “we’ve seen a lot of inventory and high interest rates,” Hannaway said. “Or, we see low inventory and low interest rates. But now, for the first time, I’ve seen really good supply — a 25 percent increase in inventory, which isn’t radical, and almost historically low interest rates.” See Market, page 2B

Townhome sales step up Discounted pricing boosts buys at Aspens at Walton Creek Tom Ross

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Price reductions and an opening buy-down of mortgage payments have helped The Aspens at Walton Creek townhomes find a little August sweet spot, with three closings and a fourth under contract. “It’s kind of become a buyer’s market. They were able to be a TOM ROSS/STAFF The Aspens at Walton Creek offers families quick access to Whistler Park and the little more flexible on price, and they helped buy down the interYampa River Core Trail without the need to go out in automobile traffic.

est rate for the next three years, which will (temporarily) lower my payments,” recent buyer Brad Luth said. The Aspens at Walton Creek comprise a pocket neighborhood of 27 three-bedroom, 3 1/2-bath townhomes in eight buildings just off the lower end of Walton Creek Road. Nine homes, all of them never occupied, are on the market. Several are in the final stages of completion. Developers Tony Cacioppo,

Scot Lucas and John L. Taylor originally entered the city planning process with the project in November 2005. At the time, they hoped to bring the homes to market in the range of $350,000 to $450,000 for 1,500-squarefoot units. As the price of entry-level housing heated up in 2007 and 2008, the prices increased. Townhomes at The Aspens sold for as much as $585,000 in May See Townhomes, page 2B

Interior finishes at The Aspens make them stand out Townhomes continued from 1B

2008, and $652,000 in October 2008. The trio of sales this summer, which ranged from $402,000 to the $425,000 that Luth paid, are part of a special offering. Remaining developer units range in asking price from $465,000 to $600,000, with the variance attributable to end units and the views they afford, Realtor Lisa Olson said. She has co-listed the remaining units with colleague Beth Bishop, of Prudential Steamboat Realty, she said. The interior finishes at The Aspens make them stand out from older units, and even many of the new units, in the same price range. “They have solid granite kitchen counters, stainless steel appliances, wood ceiling and stone fireplaces,” Olson said. “They have heated driveways and walkways — you’re getting luxury finishes.” Luth said he was drawn to details such as solid wood

doors, high-quality interior trim and maple kitchen cabinets. But the deciding factors include the ability to hop on the free city bus at Walton Creek Road and Chinook Lane for a five-minute trip to Steamboat Ski Area. “That’s a big selling point for me,” he said. Olson said this month’s purchases include two separate single professionals — Luth runs his own property management company — and a couple that sought a vacation home. However, she’s convinced the townhomes are ideal for young families, in part because of the ability to leave the neighborhood on its south end and bicycle to Whistler Park without going into heavy traffic. Aspens residents can pedal to the Yampa River Core Trail and travel to the U.S. Highway 40 underpass on the way downtown to Howelsen Hill and Bud Werner Memorial Library. Although the townhomes offer relatively small bedrooms,

they have some thoughtful builtin storage and a bathroom for each bedroom. What really makes them livable for families, Olson said, are the single garages and a separate

family room/media room that allows adults and youngsters to have separate spaces. — To reach Tom Ross, call 871-4205 or e-mail tross@steamboatpilot.com

Realtor: Properties that show the best in their category sell ��

Market continued from 1B

Local values Olson, who with partner Beth Bishop scouts out values in the current market, cites three homes that are listed for sale at discounts of 23 to 25 percent from their 2008 selling prices. They include a three-bedroom Timber Run condo that sold for $500,000 and is currently listed for $375,000. Similarly, there is a two-bedroom Villas at Walton Creek

condo that sold for $450,000 last year and is listed for $348,000, and a four-bedroom, single-family home in Bear Creek Subdivision that sold for $775,000 and is listed at $599,000. Realtor Michelle Garner, of Prudential, told the Rotarians that a clear pattern has developed this summer. “I can tell what’s going to sell before it sells based on price and comparables,” Garner said. “Properties that show the best in their price category,” are the ones that sell.

“When I see them pop out, in a month or two, they’re sold,” she added. Pricing within a product category to get prospective buyers in the door is essential to sales in this market, Garner emphasized. “The (asking) price you want to arrive at is the price that will drive people into your home,” she said. Hannaway sees another trend driving people toward mountain town purchases — the inevitable ticking of the clock. More and more baby boom-

ers are reaching prime secondhome-buying age every year, Hannaway observed, and those who can afford to consider a purchase in a Colorado mountain town are interested in pursuing an active lifestyle — they intend to ski, hike and mountain bike for a good long while. Boomers’ own advancing ages create a sense of urgency, he said. Now, there is pent-up urgency, and though he won’t make a prediction, Hannaway is optimistic that when the Steamboat market comes back, it may come back with “a vengeance.” However, even more urgency for baby boomers can be created by the sight of their grandchildren growing up. One of the primary drivers in resort purchases is a desire to gather extended families. In some cases, affluent buyers may even feel guilt about time they didn’t spend with their families while building their careers and amassing their fortunes. The awareness that their 12year-old grandchildren are due to become increasingly independent teenagers any day could lead resort buyers to look in places they know will appeal to adult children and willful teenagers. Bishop said second homebuyers aren’t the only ones finding opportunity in this market. “Teachers and nurses who haven’t been able to buy for five years are able to purchase homes now,” she said. “I helped two get their earnest money from the bank this month.” — To reach Tom Ross, call 871-4205 or e-mail tross@steamboatpilot.com

The Draft EIS discloses the environmental effects of a proposal to implement hazard tree removal and fuel reductions on 81 acres in a designated roadless area that is adjacent to the Willow Creek Pass Village subdivision. The analysis area is located approximately 20 miles north of Steamboat Springs, Colorado in T. 9 N., R. 85 W., 6th Principle Meridian, sections 10, 11, and 15. The analysis area encompasses roughly 350 acres. Hahns Peak/Bears Ears District Ranger, Jamie Kingsbury, is the Responsible Official for this project. In addition to the Proposed Action, the Draft EIS describes the environmental effects of a No Action alternative. Under the No Action alternative, current management plans would continue to guide management of the project area. This proposal would not be implemented and no hazard tree removal or fuel reduction work adjacent to the Willow Creek Pass Village Homeowners Association would be implemented. Under the Proposed Action dead and dying standing hazard trees and hazardous fuels would be removed from the project area. The Proposed Action was designed to reduce the development of continuous high hazard fuel conditions, remove hazard trees within damage distance to private dwellings, remove beetle killed and dying lodgepole pine, and promote regeneration of aspen and other conifer species to expedite the establishment of the next forest. The Environmental Protection Agency published the Notice of Availability (NOA) in the Federal Register for the Draft EIS on August 21, 2009. The NOA initiates the formal comment period for this Draft EIS. To ensure consideration in the analysis process, comments on the Draft EIS must be postmarked or received within 45 days following the date of publication of the NOA. Comments should include: (1) Name, address, telephone number, and organization represented, if any; (2) Title of the document on which comments are being submitted; and (3) Specific facts and information to be considered. Pease address written comments to: Jamie Kingsbury., District Ranger Hahns Peak/Bears Ears Ranger District 925 Weiss Drive Steamboat Springs, Colorado 80487 FAX: (970) 870-2284 E-mail: comments-rocky-mountain-medicine-bow-hahns-pe ak-bears-ears@fs.fed.us Only those who submit “specific written comments” on the Draft EIS during the 45-day comment period will be eligible to file an objection under 36 CFR 218.6. Under this arrangement, an objector will have 30 days following completion of the Final EIS to raise objections to the proposal. The project cannot go forward until all objections have been responded to within a 30-day time frame. Once all objections have been responded to, a Record of Decision for the Final EIS will be published and the project will be allowed to proceed. To obtain copies of the Draft EIS or to request further information, please contact Brian Waugh at the Hahns Peak/Bears Ears Ranger District, phone (970) 870-2185.

Upgrading the homework space Wendy Donahue CHICAGO TRIBUNE

CHICAGO

Kathryn M. Ireland, the former music-video producer turned interior designer, has helped with a textbook’s worth of schoolwork while raising her three boys with her “Saturday Night Live” filmmaker husband, Gary Weis. Yet the full extent of their homework headquarters consists of little more than a nook in the kitchen of their Spanishstyle house in Santa Monica, Calif. “You just find a corner and put up shelves on top and then a desk portion on bottom, and then get baskets to put papers in and to put staplers and pens in, to get those out of the way.” Ireland e-mailed from France, where she has a home. What, no trio of juniorexecutive suites for Oscar, Otis and Louis (now ages 20, 18 and 16)? No, not three. Not even one. That’s no tragedy, many interior designers say. The low-tech, minimal space requirements for a homework retreat should assuage parents who have deferred upsizing their home, perhaps staying in the urban condos of their DINK

News for your home, garden Mary Beth Breckenridge AKRON BEACON JOURNAL

Book teaches readers how to create a lampshade To Judy Lake, a lampshade is a form of self-expression. Lake, owner of a Vermont business called Lake’s Lampshades, is encouraging her readers to put a little personality into their lighting with “The Lampshade Lady’s Guide to Lighting Up Your Life: 50 Custom Lampshades and Lamps.” Lake’s book teaches the basics of creating a lampshade with a wire frame and gives ideas for making shades from such unexpected materials as photos, antique postcards and vintage fabrics — even chenille and needlework. Her projects range from simple shades appropriate for beginners to elaborate designs. She also includes instructions for making lamp bases from boots, baby blocks and more.

Lightweight gardening bench folds flat for storing Midwest Gloves & Gear’s new gardening bench folds flat, so it won’t take up much storage space. The lightweight bench has a steel frame with a canvas sling seat, plus a canvas tote to hold your gardening tools. The tote can be detached and carried by its straps. The Gardening Bench with Bag has a suggested retail price of $19.99 and is available at most True Value hardware stores and Gale’s Garden Centers.

Q&A: Using plastic on windows during summer Q: Would putting plastic on windows help keep cool air inside in summer the way it does with warm air in winter? We have air conditioning and don’t open the windows. — M.A., Akron, Ohio A: If there are air leaks around the windows, plastic insulating film would seal them and help keep conditioned air from escaping, said Karl Balla, an energy auditor and green-building consultant who owns Energy Pros of Ohio in Richfield. The air space between the window and the film would also add some insulating value to slow the transfer of heat into the house, he said. Most people in our area don’t use the film in summer, however, because they like to open the windows to let in fresh air.

(dual-income, no-kids) days even as their brood has grown and begun grammar school, with nary a playroom/craft table to call their own. “Life doesn’t allow for absolute silence. I’m not a believer in solitary confinement being the only way children can accomplish something,” says Celerie Kemble, the New York and Palm Beach-based interior designer and author of “To Your Taste: Creating Modern Rooms with a Traditional Twist.” “Your child can work around a kitchen table; perhaps that’s the best space. You want to be within chatting distance.” Kemble, who has two tots, believes in one study-hall-athome amenity, no matter the children’s age: “One of the most important things is letting them have control of their drawers and supplies,” she said. “If you can control the chaos and clutter and give kids an easy and understandable way to create their own order, they’ll enjoy the ritual to sit down and do their task.”

Creating an alcove On a dime: Children don’t need the deep, hulking “magic desk,” Kemble says. Scout out a kitchen corner or a small closet

to convert, or look for a window niche to retrofit in the kitchen. Install a countertop across it, then buy a file cabinet on wheels. “Those can fit under a countertop, and when you need to convert the space to ‘grownup’ and attractive, the cabinet can be rolled easily into a coat closet.” Deluxe: If you have the space, a playroom can provide surface area and storage for homework and craft projects. For one client, Kemble’s team installed a double-wide desk whose top can convert to a magnetic art easel, with a built-in roll of craft paper. “That is an example of a really tricked-out space,” Kemble said, “down to the point where we have special hinges so that they wouldn’t crush little fingers.”

On the walls If you have a simple desk area in the kitchen, Ireland, author of “Kathryn M. Ireland: Creating A Home,” due in stores in October, suggests adding a cork wall covering — using tiles or sheets. Custom-cut them to the space as a “backsplash,” with push pins to post schedules, good grades or quick references for math and grammar. Fabric-covered bulletin boards add a punch of color, as does a

small lamp with a fabric shade. Ireland likes chalkboard magnetic paint for inside the pantry door. “It’s easily customizable and you can add and subtract on a weekly basis depending on your family’s schedule.”

Cheap thrills Deborah Skolnik, a senior editor for Parenting magazine, recommends building enthusiasm for homework with a few affordable amenities for younger children: the fish-shaped stapler, the monster pencil sharpener that chomps as it works and — the ultimate status symbol for youngsters — the 120-count box of Crayola Crayons. “Even if they’re not allowed to take (certain) cute things to school, you can designate some only for home.” Skolnik is a fan of the kitchen table as homework headquarters. “If you’re a working mom, you can do your homework — checks to write, whatever — at the same time your child is doing homework, to role-model for him. And you’ll be nearby if he needs help.” Or you can make dinner and use recipes as a way to stealthily incorporate math — reading recipes together and working on fractions with slices of cake, for instance — which can double as a reward for an A-plus effort.

COURTESY REPRINT FROM “TO YOUR TASTE” BY CELERIE KEMBLE/MCT

A deluxe playroom designed by Celerie Kemble includes twin desktops for homework that convert to magnetic easels for fun.

Team ready to serve Coach says squad has strength, talent to earn state title

Hoping to make the scene

f you want a front-row seat for all the Olympic action in February, it’s time to find a hotel room near Vancouver. Because at the 2010 Winter Olympics, you will see world-class skiers reach their peak and then race down it. You will see more drama than you will ever witness on daytime TV, and you will see people from all corners of the world come together to share a love of winter sports and international competition. You also will witness magical moments that will take your breath away. You’ll see the type of character that will bring tears to your eyes, and you’ll see history unfold when the best athletes in the world step onto the podium to collect gold, silver and bronze and take their place as Olympic champions. But unless something changes in the next six months, the one thing you will not see at the 2010 Winter Games is women’s ski jumping. Despite the best efforts of athletes from across the world, it seems impossible to convince the International Olympics Committee that women’s ski jumping has a place at the Winter Games. The athletes have begged, argued and even taken their case to the Supreme Court in Canada, but nobody has been able to sway the IOC or change its decision to keep women’s ski jumping out of the Olympics in 2010. To be honest, I’m not sure why the IOC made the choice not to allow the women to jump, and I can’t really argue that their decision was right or wrong. The IOC cited technical reasons for excluding women’s ski jumping for the Olympics. The decision seems wrong, but I have faith that the people running the Olympics are making decisions to keep the games in line with today’s quickly changing world. Still, it’s hard to imagine a better group of athletes to represent the Olympic cause than these women. During the past three years, I’ve seen their actions, I’ve seen their passion, and I’ve seen their dedication to the sport. They have convinced me that they deserve their Olympic shot, and they have earned my respect. Every Olympic athlete makes sacrifices to get to the top of their sport. But these athletes have sacrificed more than most. Not only do they train, compete and work for the right to represent their countries on the jump hill, but they also are fighting, working and standing up for the shot they deserve. How the story reflects on the Olympic Games, the IOC and the sport of ski jumping has yet to be seen. It’s too bad. This could be a story of inspiration that captures the true spirit of the Olympic Games — a story about athletes who are not competing for money or fame, but for a sport they love. Their battle isn’t about proving that the IOC is wrong, but simply about earning a chance to step onto the world’s grandest athletic stage.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The Steamboat Springs High School tennis team has produced singles champions, doubles medalists and 11 consecutive regional titles. But this year, coach John Aragon said, the team has a chance to produce something it never has: a state title.

“We’re going to be 11 deep, from No. 1 singles to No. 4 doubles,” Aragon said. “This is probably the most depth we’ve had since I’ve been coaching in Steamboat.” The Sailors are so deep that Aragon said the only for-sure spot belongs to sophomore

Jamey Swiggart at No. 1 singles. Swiggart, who played in the same slot as a freshman last season, is coming off an impressive summer. He won the 16and 18-year-old divisions at the Colorado State Junior Open in June and won the 16-year-old division at the Montana State Open. See Tennis, page 4C

We have to make the playoffs before we can think of anything else. But we know we can go far.”

Everything is set for Steamboat to go far. The Sailors have 18 seniors on their roster, most of whom took part in workouts all summer. Starting quarterback Austin Hinder, a University of California-Berkeley commit, and receivers Jack Spady and Joe Dover, considered two of the top receivers in the Western Slope League, give the Sailors top talent at skill positions.

“It’s kind of trite, I know, but you have to take it one day at a time,” Steamboat coach Aaron Finch said. “You have to get a little bit better each day. We don’t have to be a state championship team tomorrow. Hopefully, we get ourselves there by December.” Although the skill positions are premium, the season may come down to how an undersized but athletic offensive line comes together and how a retooled defense plays. The key on both fronts could be Steele. The senior is a three-year starter on the offensive line, playing center predominately the past two years. At the end of last season, Steele was moved to left tackle to protect Hinder’s blind side. “Normally, I’ll play against the fast guys and big guys on the line,” Steele said. “But it’s OK. I’ve got speed, too.” Defensively, not a lot will change for Steamboat. The team will run out of its base 3-5 front and blitz from the linebacker positions. See Football, page 4C

SEATTLE

Kyle Orton’s second preseason game as the Denver Broncos’ starter was mostly a reassuring answer to his dismal debut. He completed 16 of his first 19 throws with a touchdown before he relapsed into another mistake. Matt Hasselbeck was even

better, completing 16 of 23 throws with two touchdowns in his two quarters. Hasselbeck also withstood the first hits on his recuperating back in nine months during the Seattle Seahawks’ 27-13 win against Denver on Saturday night. Hasselbeck, who missed

nine games with a bad back last season, plopped a 34-yard touchdown pass into the arms of rookie Deon Butler on the opening possession. He closed his night with a sharp two-minute drive that ended with a 2-yard scoring throw on a perfectly timed fade route with new wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh just before halftime. A prolonged “Hoooooshh!”

Ian Stewart and Todd Helton homered in Colorado’s sevenrun sixth inning, and the Rockies rallied to beat the San Francisco Giants, 14-11, on Saturday night to take a twogame lead in the National League wild-card race. Dexter Fowler tripled twice, and SATURDAY’S Jorge De La Rosa GAME: pitched six innings Rockies 14 for Colorado, Giants 11 which scored a combined 11 runs in the sixth and seven innings to even the important four-game series with San Francisco at a game apiece. Ryan Garko hit a pair of tworun shots for his first homers since the Giants acquired him from Cleveland on July 27. Nate Schierholtz and Aaron Rowand also went deep. De La Rosa (12-8) allowed six runs and eight hits, struck out five and walked two. The Rockies trailed 6-3 before sending 11 men to the plate in a wild sixth inning. Troy Tulowitzki and Brad Hawpe led off with consecutive singles before Stewart tied it with his 19th homer. Justin Miller (22) relieved Joe Martinez and got Clint Barmes to pop out. But Yorvit Torrealba followed with a single to center, and pinchhitter Seth Smith tripled down the right-field line to give the Rockies the lead. After Carlos Gonzalez walked, Smith was called out in a rundown and Gonzalez moved to second. Fowler tripled to right and scored on a wild pitch to make it 9-6. Helton then hit Miller’s 1-2 changeup into the second deck in right for his 12th homer and first since July 22. The Rockies scored four more in the seventh on Ryan Spilborghs’ RBI single, two bases-loaded walks and a sacrifice fly by Tulowitzki. Garko connected in the eighth and Rowand followed with his 12th homer to make it 14-9. Pablo Sandoval hit a two-run shot in the ninth but Huston Street came in and struck out Bengie Molina and Garko to end the game.

SPORTS Redskins pass Steelers without Big Ben Steamboat Pilot & Today • Sunday, August 23, 2009

Rick Pitino had an athletic director and a university president in his corner. John Calipari one-upped him with the governor. It really is a great time to be a college basketball coach in Kentucky, where the paychecks run bigger than hats at the Derby and winning Dahlberg games means never having to say you’re sorry. Get caught with your pants down and someone is right there to pull them back up for you. Disgrace your old school and someone will lead the cheers to make sure everyone knows it wasn’t really your fault. Just win, baby, win. That seems to be all that matters in college hoops, a world increasingly populated by scammers in fine Italian suits who a generation ago would have been selling vacuum cleaners on your doorstep. Although they still troll neighborhoods today, the target has changed from housewives to 18-year-olds who might lead them to the promised land that is the Final Four. The dirt is still flying. Unlike the vacuum salesmen, though, they don’t clean it up themselves. Pitino had assistants to tidy up his sordid mess. Calipari left it to his former employers to sort things out. The great thing is they can do no wrong. As long as they don’t commit the ultimate sin of losing at home (see Billy Gillispie), they get a free pass from the faithful and powerful. Sure, Louisville could have invoked a morals clause in his contract and fired Pitino for having sex in a restaurant with a woman he had met just hours earlier, then giving her $3,000 as she headed across state lines for an abortion. But why get all hot and bothered about a little indiscretion when the Cardinals need Pitino on the bench when they travel Jan. 2 to Lexington to take on the Wildcats? And what’s the point of punishing Calipari for what happened in Memphis a few years back? Old news, and they’re just a bunch of losers now, anyway. Remember, this guy has been to the Final Four more than once. So what if they keep taking his wins away? Kentuckians sure are an interesting bunch. Maybe the best thing about them is they are quick to forgive and forget. The people running the University of Louisville almost tripped over themselves in their haste to come to Pitino’s defense. Calipari did his rival coach one better, getting an endorsement from the governor. “I’m not worried about it because they have never said Coach Cal did anything wrong at all,” Gov. Steve Beshear said. “I think he’s a very upstanding guy. I think that’s his reputation, and I think that reputation will be with him here. I really don’t foresee any problems.” No, there shouldn’t be any problems. If there are, it doesn’t matter anyway because Calipari can just claim ignorance. That’s another great thing about Kentuckians. They believe a man when he gives them his word. No need for lengthy explanations. This is Kentucky, after all. It’s a great place to be a basketball coach.

NFL PRESEASON ROUNDUP

LANDOVER, MD.

Pittsburgh’s first-team offense scored a touchdown without Ben Roethlisberger and the Washington Redskins managed to get their first points of the preseason, albeit with the help of a fake punt and a fourth-string quarterback. The Redskins won, 17-13. Rookie Chase Daniel, fighting the odds to earn a roster spot, threw two touchdown passes long after the starters had left the game, overcoming another difficult night for Washington’s first-team offense.

Bears 17, Giants 3 CHICAGO

Jay Cutler showed why his arrival in Chicago has created such a stir. Playing a game with the Bears for the first time at Soldier Field, Cutler was sharp from the outset Saturday night in leading a 17-3 victory against the New York Giants. Cutler completed 8 of 13 passes for 121 yards during his three series, leading TD drives of 80 and 92 yards and throwing for a score as Chicago built a 17-0 lead.

Dolphins 27, Panthers 17 MIAMI

Chad Pennington threw well from the pocket — and the flanker position. The wildcat was back Saturday night, contributing to a strong showing by Miami’s first-team offense. The Dolphins (2-0) scored 10 points in Pennington’s three series. He went 8 for 11 for 105 yards, throwing a 28-yard touchdown pass to Ronnie Brown and hitting Patrick Cobbs for a 35-yard gain out of the wildcat.

Buccaneers 24, Jaguars 23 JACKSONVILLE, FLA.

Troy Williamson is giving the

Jacksonville Jaguars something they’ve been missing for years: a deep threat. Williamson, a first-round bust in Minnesota who is looking to secure a roster spot in Jacksonville, caught two deep passes from David Garrard and finished with 147 yards receiving in a 24-23 preseason loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday night.

Browns 27, Lions 10 CLEVELAND

Derek Anderson looked worthy of being a No. 1 quarterback. Rookie Matthew Stafford hardly looked like a No. 1 pick. Anderson led Cleveland to its first offensive touchdown in seven games and stayed tight with Brady Quinn in their tooclose-to-call quarterback competition, helping the Browns beat Stafford and the Detroit Lions, 27-10, in their home exhibition opener Saturday night.

Packers 31, Bills 21 GREEN BAY, WIS.

Green Bay’s new-look defense forced turnovers on three of Buffalo’s first four possessions. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers hit seven straight passes to begin the game for Green Bay, finishing 8 of 9 for 98 yards and two touchdowns. The only potential bad news for the Packers came in the form of injuries to safety Nick Collins and backup quarterback Matt Flynn.

Saints 38, Texans 14 HOUSTON

Mike Bell made the most of Reggie Bush’s absence. Bell had 10 carries for 100 yards and a touchdown to help the Saints to a win against the Texans.

San Diego’s defense got the best of Kurt Warner and Arizona’s first-team offense Saturday night. The Cardinals starters man-

aged just a field goal, set up by a game-opening 89-yard kickoff return by diminutive rookie LaRod Stephens-Howling, in San Diego’s 17-6 victory. Stephens-Howling also had a 63-yard kickoff return.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK

As Tim Tebow and the Florida Gators prepare to make a run at their third national title in the past four seasons, the defending champions have already made some history. Florida is No. 1 in The Associated Press’ preseason Top 25 released Saturday, followed by Texas, Oklahoma, Southern California and Alabama. But the Gators are in a class by themselves, the most overwhelming preseason No. 1 in the history of the media poll. Florida received 58 of the 60

first-place votes, or 96.7 percent. Texas got the other first-place votes. The previous highest percentage of first-place votes for the AP preseason poll, which started in 1950, was 95.4 percent for USC in 2007. Those Trojans got 62 of 65 first-place votes — and didn’t play for the national title. Ten preseason No. 1s have won the national championship. If the Gators can become the 11th, they will have put together one of the great runs in college football history. Only one program since 1950 can claim three national championships in

four years; Nebraska won it all it 1994 and 1995, then earned a split title in 1997. With expectations soaring in Gainesville, Fla., coach Urban Meyer has been on a mission to keep his team’s eyes on the small prizes — to heck with history. “There’s a lot of guys getting patted on the back and being told how good they are,” Meyer said in a recent telephone interview. “Their only focus is on survival to the next day and working hard in practice. “I don’t want them to even think about that kind of stuff. Our goal is to get to Atlanta” for the Southeastern Conference championship game.

BRISTOL, TENN.

There was an awkward moment at the start of Saturday night’s race when feuding drivers Kyle Busch and Brian Vickers shared the same truck for their introductory lap around Bristol Motor Speedway. The two drivers didn’t appear to speak as they stood shoulder to shoulder in the back of a truck and waved to the sold-out crowd. Some fans and an ESPN camera crew shared the ride, which appeared to be tense. Busch and Vickers, former teammates, had a run-in last week at Michigan International Raceway when hard-racing between the two on the last lap of the Nationwide Series allowed Brad Keselowski to sneak by and steal the victory. Busch was angry about how Vickers raced him, and Vickers has not minced words since. “I hate that he lives in such an angry place,” Vickers said. “It must be miserable to live like that. That’s just not the way I want to live my life.” Busch has not discussed the feud all weekend, and said before the start of the Sprint Cup Series he was trying to bounce

NASCAR back from a heartbreaking finish in Friday night’s Nationwide race. He had just passed Kevin Harvick for the lead when 19year-old Chase Austin turned

O’Neal to race against Phelps Howard Fendrich

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BALTIMORE

Don’t go calling him the Big Rip-off. Shaquille O’Neal says exteammate Steve Nash’s idea for a reality TV show was “slightly different” from the premise of “Shaq VS.” At an appearance Saturday to promote the series-ending episode — in which he’ll race against Olympic swimming star Michael Phelps — the Cleveland Cavaliers center said Nash’s premise was based on training with other athletes, not competing against them. “Everyone in America has similar ideas,” O’Neal said. “He had a similar idea. His idea was slightly different.” Noting that Nash is an executive producer of his ABC program, O’Neal said: “He’s the Canadian Aaron Spelling, and I’m the black Spielberg.” The Arizona Republic reported last week that Nash mentioned a “reality show he was pursuing” to O’Neal in early 2008, while both were members of the Phoenix Suns. The newspaper said Nash would not confirm the story and quoted the point guard as saying, “We collaborated on parts of the show.” O’Neal said the concept for the program came about during an Olympic-watching party at his house in August 2008. According to O’Neal, someone turned to him while Phelps was winning one of his eight gold medals at the Beijing Games and asked, “Hey, you think you can make it down before he makes it down and up?” “And I said, ‘Yeah, of course I could,”’ O’Neal recounted

Phelps

Saturday. “I said, ‘Well, hook it up.’ And that’s how the show started.” For the Sept. 15 episode, he’ll take on Phelps at a Baltimorearea pool today, with help from Phelps’ own coach, Bob Bowman. The emcee explained that O’Neal will swim 50 meters and Phelps will race a “longer distance, to be revealed” — something O’Neal apparently did when he made a reference to having to swim one length of the pool before Phelps can finish two lengths. They’ll also square off in a relay of sorts: O’Neal will have teammates, including medalwinning Olympic swimmers, while Phelps will swim every lap himself. There could be another edge for the man who said he’s known around Orlando as “Shaq-mu” — like the whale Shamu, get it? Phelps showed up in a walking boot for Saturday’s part-of-theTV-show “news conference” at a restaurant overlooking Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. The black boot covers Phelps’ right foot entirely and goes almost all the way up to his knee. He injured his right ankle in a car accident a little more than a week ago. Phelps was driving with an invalid, out-of-state license Aug. 13 when another driver ran a red light, causing the accident, according to Baltimore police.

For once, Usain Bolt ran in a final that didn’t produce a world record. That, in itself, is almost a record. Bolt won his third gold of the world championships Saturday, getting a little help from his Jamaican friends in the 400-meter relay. With the Americans sitting out — disqualified the day before — the sprinters from the Caribbean island easily pulled away from the field. All that was left to be decided once Bolt handed off the baton to anchor leg Asafa Powell was whether another world mark would tumble.

year’s graduation. A top-three spot in the league guarantees a playoff berth, something most Sailors say is the team’s top goal. “We should beat every team in our league with the way things are lined up,” Spady said. “But we can’t walk in thinking we’re going to whip everyone.” Steamboat plays perennial powerhouse Palisade at Gardner Field but has to travel to

last season’s state champion Glenwood Springs for the final game of the regular season. The Sailors should be tested early, however, as Steamboat opens at 1 p.m. Saturday at home against Holy Family — a top Class 2A team. Although people might not see a full-strength Steamboat team until it opens league play, by that time, the Sailors should have a pretty good notion of

where they stand and whether those dreams of a golden ball and a deep run into the playoffs are realistic. “The most important thing about this year is to get the momentum moving,” Steele said. “Get the snowball rolling and get it bigger and bigger until we’re in the state playoffs.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

offense essentially is a single-wing look out of the shotgun formation. The quarterback sometimes will spin 360 degrees to fake handoffs. Although the offensive line was big last year, it was hit hard by graduation.

■ Coaches’ picks for league top player (could vote for their own players) Austin Hinder, QB, Steamboat: 8 votes Nicholas Stephanus, OL/DL, Palisade: 2 Nick Ciani, LB, Glenwood Springs: 2 Jasen Kettle, RB, Moffat County: 1 Gene White, LB, Delta: 1 Clayton Gerard, LB, Eagle Valley: 1 Parker Robbins, QB, Battle Mountain: 1 Pablo Salcido, RB, Moffat County: 1 Joe Dover, RB, Steamboat: 1

■ Steamboat (8-3 overall last year) Returning starters: 14 (7 on offense, 7 on defense) Top players: QB Austin Hinder, RB Joe Dover, LT Carl Steele Outlook: Steamboat has the skill guys on offense to compete with just about any team in the state. Behind much ballyhooed quarterback Austin Hinder and a healthy Joe Dover, Steamboat shouldn’t have a problem scoring points. The Sailors have 18 seniors on the roster, most of whom worked out all summer. The key might be how an athletic, but undersized, offensive line comes together. Defensively, Steamboat will again run the 3-5 front, led by quick linebackers Cody Harris and Mitchell Lekarczyk.

■ Delta (5-5 overall last year) Returning starters: 14 (7 on offense, 7 on defense) Top players: QB Austin Watson, LB Gene White, OL Duncan Simmons, DL Ethan Kraai Outlook: Delta welcomes new head coach Ben Johnson to the fold. Johnson, who was an assistant at Olathe for three years and a head coach in Las Vegas for 10 years before that, brings two state titles to Delta. He won one last year with Olathe and one in Las Vegas. The Panthers will be a fast team, but they lack depth. Johnson said initial indications from summer and fall camps are that the team has responded to his style of play. Delta has always had the athletes, and with Johnson leading the way, the team could certainly make the playoffs.

Not this day. Instead, the team’s time of 37.31 seconds was only the second fastest in history. Their mark of 37.10 from Beijing remains — for now. There was only a muted celebration from the usually upbeat Bolt. Not happy? “What? I was happy,” said Bolt, who obliterated the world records in the 100 and 200 earlier in the week, and set three in Beijing last year. “I was just tired.” Meanwhile, the Americans are growing weary of all the mishaps with the baton. With botched exchanges, running out of the zone and now a pulled hamstring, the 400 relay teams just can’t seem to get the stick around the track.

■ Montezuma-Cortez (4-6 overall last year) Returning starters: NA Top players: NA Outlook: Chuck Cotter returns for his second year as head coach after spending the previous two years as a coordinator. Montezuma-Cortez runs a newer offense called the spinner series. The

■ Eagle Valley (4-6 overall last year) Returning starters: Six (3 on offense, 3 on defense) Top players: LB Clayton Gerard, QB Nick Pietrack, OL Bryce Steggall, LB Seth Williamson Outlook: Linebackers are the only area the Devils return players. Led by twotime All-League performer Gerard, Eagle Valley returns one of the youngest units in the league. The good thing for coach John Ramunno is the system he has in place has been there for a long time. There aren’t many secrets. The offense will line up in a double wing set, and the defense will be physical. Getting off to a fast start might be the biggest key. Last season the Devils started the season 0-5 before finishing 4-6. ■ Palisade (9-2 overall last year) Returning starters: 12 (7 on offense, 5 on defense)

Top players: OL/DL Nicholas Stephanus, OL/DL Zaid Bradfield, RB/LB Sean Dunn Outlook: Palisade never drifts far from the top of the 3A Western Slope League, and it’s hard to imagine the Bulldogs won’t be in the mix for a league title in 2009. With 12 returning starters, head coach John Arledge’s blue-collar bunch is primed to shine this fall. With players like Nicholas Stephanus and Zaid Bradfield anchoring the lines, look for the Bulldogs to make some noise. ■ Glenwood Springs (14-0 overall last year) Returning starters: 5 (2 on offense, 3 on defense) Top players: LB/RB Nick Ciani, QB Luke Jacob, OL/LB Chad Montover, RB Tyler Thulson, WR/DB Josh Galvan, WR/DB Trey Fox Outlook: The reigning 3A state champs lost a huge senior class to graduation and return just five starters. Still, one league coach says the two-time defending 3A WSL champs are the top dogs until someone knocks them off. With 3A player of the year Dakota Stonehouse now at Carroll College in Montana, junior Luke Jacob will assume the quarterbacking duties for the Demons. ■ Rifle (3-7 overall last year) Returning starters: 12 (6 on offense, 6 on defense) Top players: QB/DB Joe Burgess, OL/DL Jacob Massey, RB/LB James Martinez, RB/LB Tyrel Lenard, TE/FB Caleb Lenard Outlook: A new coach with big-name college coaching experience and a team-wide hunger to turn things around could be a recipe for success in Rifle. New head coach Ryan Sulkowski is fresh off a stint as a graduate assistant at Clemson University. With the help of a top-notch staff that includes former Rifle head coaches Damon Wells and Anthony Alfini, the former Valdosta State University offensive lineman hopes to,

as he puts it, “pick up the program and dust it off.” ■ Battle Mountain (0-10 overall last year) Returning starters: 18 (9 on offense, 9 on defense) Top players: QB Parker Robbins, RB Jon Simpson, OL/DL Mason Babcock Outlook: Battle Mountain hasn’t won a football game since Sept. 21, 2007, and second-year head coach David Joyce hopes to change that. Led by senior quarterback Parker Robbins and a plethora of returning players, Joyce thinks his squad has a shot at returning to respectability in 2009. Such a turnaround would coincide nicely with the Huskies’ christening of a new field — and Battle Mountain’s new campus — in Edwards. The coach said the Huskies will roll out new uniforms to go along with their new, artificial-turfed digs. “We’re trying to kick it off right,” Joyce proclaimed. ■ Moffat County (4-6 last year) Returning starters: 19 (10 on offense, 9 on defense) Top players: QB Matt Linsacum, FB Pablo Salcido, HB Jasen Kettle Outlook: With a seasoned offensive line, and senior runners Pablo Salcido and Jasen Kettle, Moffat County should be able to continue its power running game. The entire offensive line is unchanged from last year. The defense lost only two starters, and defensive coach Lance Scranton said some of the returning players could switch positions. Last year’s secondary returns, unchanged. The Glenwood Springs Post Independent’s Jeff Casperesen and Craig Daily Press’ Ben Bulkeley contributed to this report. — Luke Graham

Cincinnati Bengal, the top freeagent receiver in the offseason. The Broncos left disgruntled wide receiver Brandon Marshall home. One could almost hear the entire Rocky Mountain region exhale after Orton came out slinging from shotgun formation — and this time completed passes to those wearing the same uniforms. Last

week at San Francisco, the former Bears starter had interceptions end each of his first three drives. His touchdown was a 3-yard fade pass to Brandon Stokley. Stokley easily beat Josh Wilson, who is starting at cornerback because Seattle’s Marcus Trufant has a disk issue in his back and has yet to practice in training camp. Orton raised both hands triumphantly and pumped his

fist after Stokley’s catch. Coach Josh McDaniels was the second one to greet Orton coming off the field with a high five. On the play before the touchdown, Seattle’s Ken Lucas should have intercepted Orton’s throw into the end zone but merely deflected it. Orton was 3 for 3 on Denver’s next drive, which was ruined by a clipping penalty that negated a 30-yard run to the Seahawks 10 by Peyton Hillis. Matt Prater

kicked a 52-yard field goal to put the Broncos up 10-7 after one quarter. Orton’s third drive was a three-and-out, the last play a short pass thrown behind Chad Jackson. Seven of his first 16 completions were on safe, swing passes and wide-receiver screens. He threw deep only once all night, a throwaway just before Patrick Kerney hit him on the first drive.

MLB Kubel drives in 3 runs; Twins beat Royals, 8-7 Steamboat Pilot & Today • Sunday, August 23, 2009

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MLB ROUNDUP

KANSAS CITY, MO.

Jason Kubel drove in three runs, and Brian Duensing, with the help of four relievers, earned his first major league win as Minnesota held off Kansas City, 8-7. The Royals went 3 for 19 with runners in scoring position while their home record in the season they unveiled $275 million in stadium renovations dropped to a major league-worst 25-38. Duensing (1-1), making his second career start, went five innings and allowed two runs, on a double by Miguel Olivo. Royals starter Kyle Davies (4-9) was charged with six runs in 5 2/3 innings. Michael Cuddyer’s solo homer in the second was his 20th, giving the Twins four players with 20 or more for the first time since 1987. Kubel’s two-run double made it 3-0.

Red Sox 14, Yankees 1 BOSTON

Kevin Youkilis homered twice and tied a career high with six RBIs, rookie Junichi Tazawa stopped New York’s big bats and the Boston Red Sox snapped a five-game skid against the Yankees with a 14-1 win Saturday. The Red Sox roughed up A.J. Burnett and set a team record with their eighth consecutive multihomer game. David Ortiz and Alex Gonzalez also connected for Boston, which has 39 homers in August with eight games left.

Angels 7, Blue Jays 3 TORONTO

Vladimir Guerrero and Juan Rivera homered, Ervin Santana won his fourth straight start, and the Angels beat slumping Toronto. Guerrero broke a 3-all tie with a solo shot in the sixth inning and Rivera provided some insurance with a two-run

drive in the eighth. The American League West leaders avoided their first threegame losing streak since June 20 to 22. Los Angeles is the only team in the majors that hasn’t lost four straight all season.

Dodgers 2, Cubs 0 LOS ANGELES

Charlie Haeger baffled the Cubs with his knuckleball, Matt Kemp and Casey Blake homered, and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated Chicago, 2-0, Saturday to win their third game in a row. The National League West leaders haven’t been on this kind of roll since taking five straight from July 18 to 22. All three wins have come against the struggling Cubs, who lost for the 10th time in 13 games. Chicago managed four hits a day after getting onehit on the road for the first time in more than 23 years.

Astros 4, Diamondbacks 2 HOUSTON

Brian Moehler won for the first time in more than a month and Houston won its season-best fourth straight. The Diamondbacks have lost seven straight, their longest skid since dropping seven in a row in June 2006.

Braves 4, Marlins 3

After Mets starter Tim Redding held the Phillies to one hit through five shutout innings in a spot start, Philadelphia broke out against relievers Pat Misch and Sean Green.

Pirates 12, Reds 2 PITTSBURGH

Ryan Doumit homered, doubled and drove in three runs to give Zach Duke some unaccustomed run support and Pittsburgh pushed Cincinnati into last place in the NL Central. After honoring 22 members of the World Series-winning 1979 Pirates before the game, a team headed for the franchise’s 17th consecutive losing season turned back the clock — if only for one night — with ’79-like power, pitching and defense to win its fifth in a row, matching a season high.

Rays 5, Rangers 4, 10 innings ST. PETERSBURG, FLA.

Tampa Bay slugger Carlos Pena homered twice and drove in the winning run with an RBI single in the 10th inning. Evan Longoria was hit by a pitch from Jason Grilli (1-2) to start the bottom of the 10th and went to second when Ben Zobrist walked. Pena then hit a liner to center to score Longoria.

Athletics 3, Tigers 2 OAKLAND, CALIF.

ATLANTA

Rookie Tommy Hanson won his fourth straight start in August, combining with two Braves relievers on a four-hitter. The Braves, powered by home runs by Yunel Escobar and Omar Infante, took a 4-0 lead in the first inning.

Phillies 4, Mets 1 NEW YORK

Chase Utley hit a two-run homer as part of a three-run sixth inning for Philadelphia.

Kurt Suzuki hit a gameending RBI single to give the Athletics to the victory. Adam Kennedy led off the ninth with a single against Zach Miner (5-4) and advanced on Rajai Davis’ sacrifice. Suzuki then hit a low liner into left and Ryan Raburn went for the diving catch. He trapped the ball and came up throwing, but it was offline.

Western roots alive and kickin’

t’s easy to be cynical about Steamboat Springs’ claim as a living, breathing Western town. No matter what the marketing propaganda would lead you to believe, Steamboat often seems as much a cowboy haven as MTV does. The background of Steamboat Ski Area’s Web site is a picture of an old barn, and images of cowboys are never more than a click away. And that weekly rodeo — is it more of a show than a competition? Is it just a town’s desperate attempt to have something to point to and say, “Look at us. We’re real cowboys”? Does the town’s cowboy culture really extend beyond Billy Kidd’s famous hat? It’s easy to say no, but time and again, the answer is just the opposite. Steamboat has staked its claim as an incubator for Olympians — not sure whether you’ve heard, but Ski Town USA has produced more athletes for the red, white and blue than anywhere else — Steamboat is a place for ski bums and a resort for the wealthy. But Steamboat still can turn out some mighty fine cowboys, too. And we’re not just talking about guys who sit in the stands every weekend at Brent Romick Rodeo Arena. Take Travis Darling, for example. The 20-year-old saddle bronc rider practically grew up at the Steamboat rodeo grounds. He watched his father ride as a pickup man and eventually fostered the skills to take to the ring himself. He rode Friday and Saturday night with chances to win the season saddle bronc title and the Pat Mantle saddle bronc riding competition. He made it clear, too, that his long-term plans for riding broncos extend far beyond the grounds where he watched so many rodeos. He hopes to strike it big riding saddle bronc around the nation. A true Western atmosphere was obvious elsewhere this weekend, too. Amber Salazar, a 6-yearold Pee Wee barrel racer from Hayden, held a one-point lead on 8-year-old Paige Barnes on Saturday night heading into their final ride. The two young cowgirls spent the entire 10-week Steamboat rodeo season competing back and forth, with Amber trying to defend her 2008 summer championship atop her trusty steed, Brownie, and Paige attempting to chase her down on Ranger. They’re probably still pocketing the occasional dollar from the tooth fairy, but they’ve been saddling up every week and competing in the most Western of sports in downtown Steamboat Springs. Maybe Steamboat residents aren’t afraid to don Stetsons and call themselves cowboys from time to time. Maybe sometimes that can look a bit ridiculous. But somewhere beneath that façade, there is still plenty of true blue Western blood.

August rush

Elk hunting starts Saturday, and local outfitters are itching to go SUNDAYFOCUS STORY BY JOEL REICHENBERGER

he aspen leaves are still green, and people — at least a few of them — are still floating the Yampa River. But for hunters, the seasons are quickly changing. The first deer and elk seasons begin Saturday, with the monthlong archery season kicking off the sporadic, nearly threemonth-long hunting season. “We’re getting really excited,” Big Rack Outfitters guide and owner Eric Hamilton said. “About the middle of August we know it’s close, and I get pumped up every year.” Much of the summer activity in and around Steamboat Springs dies down as September comes, but area outfitting ranches have been a flurry of activity. There are a million things to do, local guides said, and only one more week in which to do them.

Packing up For Perk Heid, the last weeks of August are about planning and preparing, and always being available for the other activities at Del’s Triangle 3 Ranch, which he runs with his father, Ray Heid. “We go right from horseback riding trips into hunting,” Perk Heid said Friday morning as he prepared to saddle up Jerry, one of the ranch’s pack mules. When he’s not hoisting tourists from New Jersey onto the ranch’s horses, he’s plotting what to haul to the full-service and drop camps Triangle 3 will offer its clients. “We have one done, three to go,” he said. “We take well

tents and wood-burning stoves, mattresses and a full kitchen with a table and chairs. We haul basically everything you’d need to go camping.” Russ Lambert, at Steamboat Lake Outfitters, isn’t quite to the packing part yet. First, he wanted to remind his guides exactly how to load up the company’s mule team. Bob Shellum worked last hunting season packing mules for SLO. He left for a job packing in Rocky Mountain National Park for the U.S. Forest Service, but he returned Friday to offer the outfitters’ guides a few tips. Next week, SLO’s guides will lead the six-mule train into the North Routt forest to set up camps ahead of the surge of hunters. “The guys are getting excited, getting their gear together and walking around the woods to get ready,” Lambert said.

Rick Duran, left, and C.J. Schmidt, guides for Steamboat Lake Outfitters, watch as Bob Shellum loads a mule Friday in Clark.

Building up Preparing the season isn’t all about saddling up a mule. Hamilton said he’s spent the past several weeks wrapping up summer chores, putting away hay for the winter and cleaning up the bunkhouses available to his hunters. At least that’s what he’s tried to do between flurries of phone calls from eager and, at times, naïve customers. “I try to tell the guys to do a lot of walking and get a lot of exercise so they’re not miserable once they get out here,” he said. “Elevation can be pretty hard on people, and the only way anyone can prepare is to get in the best shape possible where they’re at.” Lambert also has invested a good portion of his summer preparing his far-flung clients for a week in the woods. “I grill them on the phone and tell them what they have to do to be prepared,” he said. “I talk to them all the way through to prepare them mentally and physically and make sure they have the right gear. What we don’t like to see is someone showing up like page 287 of the Cabela’s catalog.

They probably won’t have their boots broken in or have the right rain gear or their bow set up. “It’s hunting, not killing, and it’s well worth it if you do it in the right frame of mind and get into good physical condition.”

Putting up An inexperienced or out-ofshape hunter can ruin a trip, but that likely won’t be a problem Saturday or much at all during the season’s first month. A trip into the Colorado wilderness to bag a bull is never like a trip to Disneyland. That’s even truer for the 30-day archery window that will open the elk season. “The archery hunters are usually a more serious type of hunter,” Hamilton said. “It’s a huge challenge, so a lot of guys looking for a challenge will train all summer, get in shape, and this is their one big week for it.” Although a trophy may be had from 300 yards away during October and November’s rifle seasons, hunters typically have to get within 50 yards to have a chance to bring down an elk

with a bow and arrow. “Archery hunting is the time of year you can get the closest to the animals and get them in their natural environment,” Perk Heid said. “None of the animals are spooked yet, and they’re not afraid of humans.” Heid, Hamilton and Lambert said early indications are that there will be plenty of game available to sneak up on. The industry took a hit two years ago with a slow, warm season, then suffered last year after the tremendous snow from the winter of 2007-08 stunted the fall hunt. This year, they said the elk are back in their old haunts, spots that were barren this time a year ago. “With a cool, wet summer and a lot of grass, I have a feeling we’ll have a really good season,” Heid said. “The herds are looking great right now. “That first month, it’s a pretty special time. The leaves turn, and we get a little cold snap. The rut kicks in, and that’s about as good as it gets. I’m getting pretty excited.” PAGE DESIGNED BY ALLISON MIRIANI

Tim Baldwin said an accident nearly five years ago that claimed the lives of three colleagues led him to where he is today. Baldwin, 39, was named the Colorado Mountain College’s Alpine Campus emergency medical services coordinator. He spent last year as an adjunct, teaching some classes.

In January 2005, Baldwin was the lone survivor of a Yampa Valley Air Ambulance crash that killed crewmembers Tim Benway, Dave Linner and

Jenny Wells. The Steamboat Springs-based crew was en route to Rawlins, Wyo., to transport a car-wreck victim to a hospital when the helicopter crashed. “Since then, I’ve been recovering,” Baldwin said. “I couldn’t go back to being a full-time medic. Teaching has been a natural progression.” Baldwin said those injuries, including a broken back and broken legs, prevented him from returning to his profes-

sion full time. Now, he hopes to draw on his experiences as an emergency medical technician, paramedic, ski patroller and wilderness guide to teach students. CMC’s instructional chairwoman for professional and technical education programs, Sam Rush, who led the committee to hire Baldwin, said doing so was “the shoe that fit the right foot.” Not only was See Baldwin, page 4D

ogan Banning’s cardboard and duct-tape creations — a chair with armrests, a nightstand with a cubby hole for storage, some hockey gloves — are frequent sights around his mother’s house. STORY BY “He was the MARGARET kind of kid who loves to build HAIR things,” Beth Banning said. For the past five years, 14-year-old Logan has applied part of that desire to build to crafting wallets out of duct tape. In 2005, a then 9-year-old Logan spent three years raising close to $1,000 making and selling wallets for the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International, an organization that helps protect endangered mountain gorillas. This time around, he’s selling the wallets at Urbane, a clothing store and skate shop at Seventh Street and Lincoln Avenue. Logan plans to donate $7 from each $20 wallet sale to the effort to build a new skatepark — planned for the Bear River Parcel in west Steamboat — to replace a smaller park at Howelsen Hill. Logan has come far since his first attempts at wallets, which he admits weren’t pretty. “I made those out of brown and white electric tape, I think,” he said. “I probably just wrote my name on it. But all the card holders were too small.” With no instruction, Logan has refined the art of duct-tape wallet making since those first tries, and he now creates pieces with ID and credit card holders, change purses and magnetic money clips.

Black Mountain Tavern returns to familiar hands Zach Fridell

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Dan Bubenheim is planning a return to a familiar Oak Creek restaurant in the coming week as he takes over control of Black Mountain Tavern. Bubenheim is planning a new menu and new specials, and he said diners can expect higher-quality food as he takes over the reins for the restaurant he helped start five years ago. Bubenheim and business partner Doug Diamond started the Black Mountain Tavern togeth-

er, and Bubenheim said the business flourished for the first four years. But in the past six months, the economic downturn put a crunch on Bubenheim business, and the business could not support two salaries. Four months ago, Bubenheim stepped aside. Diamond continued the business, but the sales were slow enough that Diamond decided at the beginning of August to sell the business. At the time, he said the business

was slowly picking up, but not enough to maintain the restaurant. That’s when he turned to Bubenheim, who agreed to buy the restaurant and take over the kitchen. “What transpired was over

the past four months, Doug decided he’d pretty much had enough, so he contacted me, and we ended up being able to work it out,” Bubenheim said. When discussing the sale, and before he would release the name of the buyer, Diamond said he was happy with who he had found to take over the restaurant. “The person I have in mind who may take this over will not only keep the same integrity, it will probably be better,” Diamond said at that time, at the end of July. Even though the business

has been lagging, Bubenheim said he is confident the research and time he has spent in Oak Creek will enable him to make money. He said he has big plans for the restaurant, starting with re-expanding the menu. In the past six months, the owners cut back the menu and hours to save money. The pizza oven was even turned off to save money because the business could not support the gas bills. Bubenheim said the restaurant’s food quality wasn’t always as high as he would have liked during that See Tavern, page 2D

Cool yet satisfying, without real cooking

ometimes summer can leave you feeling too hot to want to do any kind of cooking — not even grilling, or a quick, easy stir-fry like the recipe I shared with you in my last column. That’s the moment to start cooking without doing any kind of real cooking at all. Those words might at first seem puzzling. But when you stop to think about it, there are so many ways to prepare delicious, satisfying foods in your kitchen, even main courses, without heat. The dog days of summer are the time when main-course salads really come into their own. And even though many such salad recipes call for grilling seafood or poultry or meat to turn an appetizer or side-dish into a fully fledged meal, there are all kinds of delicious, high-quality proteins you can pick up at your market or deli that are ready to eat without cooking. Of course, cold cuts come to mind. Thin slices of high-quality ham or cured sausage make perfect additions to tossed or chopped salads, often combined with slices or crumbles of cheese. Those beautiful chickens that so many markets now have spinning on in-store rotisseries, so fragrant and golden and juicy, make yet another excellent choice. So do the sweet little precooked bay shrimp you see in the refriger-

ated seafood case, or larger cooked shrimp or even poached cold lobster tails or crabmeat. But I want to talk today about yet another choice I love in summer salads: smoked fish. Although light in calories and fat and light on the stomach, perfect qualities for a summer meal, it has a richness of flavor and a meaty texture that are incredibly satisfying. You’ll find smoked trout, salmon, whitefish or sturgeon on display loose or prepackaged in the deli departments of many well-stocked supermarkets and specialty delicatessens everywhere. Make sure you purchase only rainbow or golden trout that is farmed in the U.S., and never imported varieties. All you have to do is take the fish home, remove any skin and bones, and render it into bite-sized flakes or slices, ready to toss with whatever salad greens you like. The sweet, smoky flavor of the fish goes well with sweet, tangy, spicy, and slightly bitter ingredients, like those in my recipe for smoked trout and apple

salad. The Granny Smith apple and the lemony dressing provide both fruity sweetness and tart, zesty tang. Ever-so-slightly bitter leaves of frisee (curly endive) are my salad leaves of choice, but you could substitute or vary the mixture with other leaves such as radicchio or Belgian endive. Chopped fresh dill adds a final spark of aromatic flavor and bright color. The result is a dish that meets all the requirements of a great meal, delighting all the senses. And not once does heat get involved to make it happen.

Smoked trout and apple salad Serves 4 1/2 cup Lemon vinaigrette (recipe follows) 1 pound smoked, farmed rainbow trout fillets 4 small heads organic frisee (curly endive) 2 large organic Granny Smith apples 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, plus 4 small fresh dill sprigs Salt Freshly ground black pepper At least an hour before preparing the salads, make the lemon vinaigrette. Set aside in the refrigerator. With your fingers, pull off and discard the skin from the smoked trout fillets. Over a mixing bowl, break the fillets into small bite-sized flakes, feeling for and discarding any bones that remain in the fillets. Remove and discard the coarse darker outer leaves from the frisee.

Separate the pale inner leaves. Put them in a strainer, and rinse thoroughly with cold running water. Drain well. Spread the leaves on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, roll them up, and squeeze gently to remove excess water. Unroll the leaves and put them into the bowl with the fish, tearing any larger leaves into bite-sized pieces. With a sharp knife, quarter and core the apples. Cut the apples into very thin slices; or, using the julienne disc on a food processor, cut them into thin julienne strips. Add the apples to the mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup of the lemon vinaigrette to the mixing bowl along with the chopped fresh dill and a little salt and pepper to taste. Toss the salad thoroughly, until all the ingredients are evenly coated with dressing. Taste and adjust the seasonings, if necessary. Mound the salad mixture on individual chilled serving plates, garnish with dill sprigs, and serve immediately.

Lemon vinaigrette Makes about 1 cup 1/4 cup organic lemon juice 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon sugar Grated zest of 1 organic lemon 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil Salt Freshly ground black pepper In a small nonreactive mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, sugar and lemon zest. Stir with a whisk until thoroughly blended. Whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to form a smooth, thick emulsion. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use, reserving extra vinaigrette for another use.

Bubenheim plans include some ‘surprise’ events Tavern continued from 1D time because of the budgetary constraints. “It put us kind of in a position that we were forced to go a little bit of a different direction culinary-wise, I might say, and I can assure you as I’m standing here right now, there’s going to be a major difference in that,” he said. “I’ve been working for the past two weeks to revise and refresh the older menu and bring back all the local favorites and

tion, the business has remained open. While he has been away from Oak Creek, Bubenheim, a certified chef with training form the Pennsylvania Culinary Institute, has been managing the restaurant at Steamboat Lake Outfitters. He said he enjoyed the foray into the opposite end of the county and working with the restaurant, and he will continue to work for the outfitters as a restaurant consultant. Bubenheim said his plans for the coming months include

some “surprise” events, possibly including Thai night or other specialties. “I really want to let the people know that I appreciate the support the people have given us and the understanding they’ve shown over the past few months,” he said. “And to let them know chef Dan Bubenheim is going to make sure everything is going to be fresh and new and exciting.” —To reach Zach Fridell, call 871-4208 or e-mail zfridell@steamboatpilot.com

Banning found about 30 colors of duct tape available “They’re pretty highly evolved duct-tape wallets,” said Mel LeBlanc, co-owner of Urbane. The store started stocking the wallets to coincide with its skate program and support of local

�

some new and exciting ones, as well,” he said. He said he plans to unveil the new menu and to open for lunch once again. Starting Thursday, the restaurant will be open from 11 a.m. through dinner and close, with new happy hour specials. Black Mountain Tavern also will be open today, Monday and Tuesday under the “recession” hours of 3 p.m. to close. Bubenheim said he has the same staff and that except for a brief period during the past couple of weeks during transi-

artists, LeBlanc said. Logan said he has sold nine wallets at the store and that he has plans to make more. “People like them,” LeBlanc said. “As soon as they come up to the counter, they’re playing with them.” Part of Logan’s craft boost came for Christmas in 2004, when he asked for duct tape in every available color. “It comes in more colors than you can imagine,” Beth Banning

said. Of the 30 or so colors the Bannings found available, they picked 17 shades of duct tape and 10 kinds of electric tape to give Logan for Christmas that year. Aside from occasionally replenishing rolls of standard gray, he’s still using that stockpile of adhesives. His parents have carried the wallets since Logan started making them, and they sell well at family reunions. Beth Banning is on her third duct-

tape bill-keeper. “I get comments on it all the time when I use it,” she said. Logan — who will start ninth grade Monday at The Lowell Whiteman School — also plays drums, hockey and lacrosse, and plans to start training in skiercross with the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club this year. — To reach Margaret Hair, call 871-4204 or e-mail mhair@steamboatpilot.com

Credit to county clubs 75 YEARS AGO From the Friday, Aug. 24, 1934, edition of The Steamboat Pilot: The importance to Routt County of the 4-H clubs and the home demonstration clubs was manifested in the variety of exhibits of food, clothing and other articles on display in the Wither building Friday and Saturday. Surprise and admiration were expressed by hundreds of visitors who lingered at the booths or the tables. Mrs. Marian E. Birdseye, of Washington, D.C., head nutritionist of the extension service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, who was in Steamboat on Saturday, said she was so impressed with the exhibit of dried products that she planned to take a photograph of this exhibit with her on her tour of the country to show what could be done. She complimented the Mesa club very highly on its display. She also was pleased with the exhibit of preserved wild fruits in the Snake River club’s booth. In these times of stress, she said there was a return to the utilization of wild foods. The cheese products in the Toponas booth were given special mention. The food budget arranged by the Elk

Looking Back Articles from our archives

Mountain club was of great value, Mrs. Birdseye said. In the next five or 10 years, it will be imperative to budget the food for the family. If each home would plan for the amount of food needed for a given length of time and provide as much as possible of this food in the garden and the field, the farmer would find out his best market was right at home, Mrs. Birdseye explained.

Boy killed by contact of wire with power line James M. Pizor, the 15year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Pizor, of Hayden, accidentally was killed by electrocution on Friday morning when a wire he held in his hand came in contact with the high power line of the Colorado Utilities corporation in the vicinity of the dumping ground west of Steamboat Springs. James and his cousin, Wolcott Smith, age 13, had come to Steamboat Springs from Hayden the evening

before and stayed all night with relatives. The next morning, they did some shopping for bicycle repairs and started to walk back to Hayden, expecting to meet someone they knew going that way. They stopped at the dumping grounds, and there they picked up a coil of wire, which they untwisted and lengthened out. Each one took a hold of an end, whirling it about. At the count of three, they were to let go to see how far the wire would go when they tossed it off. Wolcott said he let go at the third count and at the same time saw Jim tumble to the ground on his face and noted the wire hanging to the electric wires overhead. He was much excited but had presence of mind to jar his wire loose from the line with a stick. He then put a bicycle tire under Jim’s arms and pulled him about 5 feet away from where he fell. Hearing a car coming, he flagged the truck in which Paul Diesel was riding. Mr. Diesel found that Jim still was breathing and made an effort to stretch him out and turn him over. A second truck was flagged, and Jim was taken to the Steamboat hospital. All efforts at restoration proved futile.

Dylan James Burin, son of Miranda and Matthew Burin, of Aurora, was born at 4 p.m. Aug. 3, 2009. He weighed 8 pounds and was 20 inches long. His grandparents are James Woodward, of Hayden; Barbara Woodward, of Yampa; John Burin, of Durango; and Karen Burin, of Steamboat Springs. Liam Paul Schneegas, son of Melinda Cramer and Robert Schneegas, of Craig, was born at 2:31 a.m. Aug. 11, 2009. He weighed 7 pounds, 4 ounces and was 20 1/4 inches long. His grandparents are Marissa Jaime, of Steamboat Springs; Sheila Fuller, of Olean, N.Y.; and Edward Schneegas, of Westminster.

Saying goodbye Here at Doak Walker Care Center, we had a farewell party for Tammy, who retired out of the kitchen after 25 years. We’ll miss her, and we give her lots of good luck.

Uplifting music We’ve been enjoying lots of piano music here at Doak recently, and we sure appreciate the mood-lifting tunes. We also enjoy the preschoolers from the center next door who have been coming over

and singing for us. We thank the workers for that and for bringing the children over in the strollers. We all look forward to them coming over.

Joke of the week

Yard champions

A man is trying to cross the street. As he steps off the curb, a car comes screaming around the corner and heads straight for him. The man walks faster, trying to hurry across the street, but the car changes lanes and still is coming at him. The man turns around to go back, but the car changes lanes again and still is coming at him. By now the car is so close, and the man so scared, that he just freezes in the middle of the road. The car gets closer, then swerves at the last moment and screeches to a halt besides him. The man sees a squirrel behind the wheel. After rolling down his car

Baldwin says his real-life experience makes teaching easier Baldwin continued from 1D he familiar with the college and department, having taught there the year before, but his professional and educational backgrounds were just some of the reasons he was hired, she said. Originally from Colorado Springs, Baldwin moved to Steamboat after graduating from Colorado State University. After being certified as an EMT in 1990, Baldwin joined the Steamboat Ski Patrol in 1993. In 2000, he became a paramedic, which requires more advanced life-saving skills such as intubating patients, and he joined

Steamboat Springs Ambulance, now known as Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue. After the accident, which concluded the local air ambulance’s service, Baldwin led wilderness tours as a program director for Colorado Outward Bound School. He applied and took preparatory classes to attend nursing school, but he decided nursing wasn’t for him. Baldwin said all he wanted to do was be a paramedic. “It’s a field I love to do, and I’m skilled at,” he said. “For the most part, being a paramedic is pretty rewarding work, even though you see a lot of tragedy.” Baldwin still works part time as a member of the Ski Patrol and six to eight shifts a month as a paramedic with Poudre Valley Hospital Ambulance in Fort Collins, but his new fulltime job gives him an opportunity to pass on his expertise to those hungry to learn. Baldwin said the experiences he’s had have made teaching easier. He said the most rewarding thing for him is when a student “gets” what he teaches, when that “light bulb goes off,” and when student masters the skills he has tried to teach. “He can really adapt his teaching to whatever direction students want to go,” Rush said. She added that one of the
