Concerned residents and public officials met Tuesday night to discuss this section of U.S. Highway 40 west of Steamboat Springs, which is where Lorna Lou Farrow was struck and killed by a dump truck July 28.

Correction Steamboat Springs City Councilman Scott Myller voted against adding surcharges to municipal code violations on the first reading of an ordinance to institute the charges. Because of a city recording error, the vote was incorrect in the article “Fine-tuning” on page 1 of Tuesday’s Steamboat Today.

As more than 20 community members introduced themselves around a table at the Routt County Courthouse on Tuesday night, many said the same thing about the curved stretch of U.S. Highway 40 near mile marker 127. “It’s scary.” The community members gathered to discuss possible safety measures that could be

A suggestion brought up by several community members was reducing the speed limit in the stretch that Riverbend Cabins resident Steve Lowery called an “acceleration zone.” Allen, who was joined at the meeting by three Department of Transportation colleagues, said the issues regarding the

stretch of U.S. 40 are nothing new to CDOT. He said there are changes that need to be made, but adjusting the speed limit isn’t at the top of his list. “We believe changing the speed limit will not change the problem,” Allen said, citing the habits of local drivers who accelerate through the 55 mph one-mile stretch to reach 65 mph. “We need to focus not on individual things that folks think will alleviate the See U.S. 40, page 20

Skatepark plans roll forward Preliminary work under way on Bear River Parcel

��

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

To most people, the 9,000square-foot site on the back of the Bear River Parcel appears to be a pile of dirt. But local skateboard enthusiast Jon Casson envisions so much more. “It was honestly kind of emotional,” Casson said of watching heavy equipment prepare the site of a new concrete skatepark. “I thought, ‘Wow, I can’t believe this is actually happening.’” Work crews began to prepare the site for the first phase of a concrete skatepark last week at the Bear River Parcel, west of downtown Steamboat Springs between the Routt County Jail and the Yampa River. Chris Wilson, director of the city’s Department of Parks, Open Space and Recreational Services, said he is hoping crews will construct the park within 10 weeks but that he doesn’t expect landscaping, signs and finishing touches to be completed until next spring. “I don’t want to tell everyone a date when it will be done and then have it rain or run into some other construction issues,” Wilson said. “It could be done sooner (than next spring), but I don’t want to disappoint anyone.”

��

JOHN F. RUSSELL/STAFF

Work crews move earth at the Bear River Parcel in Steamboat Springs. The site will be the home of a new concrete skatepark, which will be built thanks in part to a $200,000 grant from Great Outdoors Colorado. The Steamboat Skateboard Alliance, Yampa Valley Community Foundation and the city of Steamboat Springs also contributed funds to get the project off the ground.

Casson says he will not be disappointed, even if he has to wait. His drive to build a concrete skatepark in Steamboat Springs began roughly seven years ago, when he formed the Steamboat Skatepark Alliance. Heavy equipment began decommissioning the city’s sewer lagoons last week, along with preparation work for the concrete skatepark. Casson and the Steamboat Skatepark Alliance have raised $60,000 through private dona-

tions and grants — including a $10,000 grant from the Yampa Valley Community Foundation — to help build the park. That money, along with $50,000 from the city of Steamboat Springs, helped the project earn a $200,000 grant from Great Outdoors Colorado that made it possible for the project to move forward this fall. Wilson said the $50,000 from the city was part of the 2009 budget and See Skatepark, page 22

In preparation for a 2010 financial situation that doesn’t look much rosier than this year’s, the Routt County Board of Commissioners is taking an in-depth look at county programs. In a meeting Tuesday, the commissioners reviewed an analysis of county departments’ programs and how much money and personnel time is devoted to each. The exercise is intended to help the county develop its budget for next year. “It’s an interesting template to start a discussion,” Commissioner Diane Mitsch Bush said. Routt County is facing a $5 million deficit in its 2009 budget. There already have been cuts in personnel, operating and capital costs — including a 10 percent reduction in pay countywide — but the projected deficit still stands at more than $1 million. County Manager Tom Sullivan said the moves made to cut spending by $4 million this year are not sustainable, which is why the commissioners are taking a comprehensive look at county programs. “What we’re really focused on is how we’re going to address the same situation with no recovery

in 2010,” Commissioner Doug Monger said. The commissioners began their review Tuesday with an evaluation of the Road and Bridge Department’s snowplowing program. The commissioners discussed reducing the number of road miles the county plows, eliminating snowplow operator positions or changing some of the department’s fulltime equipment operator positions to seasonal positions. The commissioners took no formal action on their 2010 budget, but they gave their staff direction on its development. Earlier this year, all three commissioners said they are willing to use some of the county’s cash reserves to balance next year’s budget. That will give the county latitude to possibly reduce its 10 percent acrossthe-board pay cut and limit the number of additional layoffs. To balance next year’s budget

Commissioners cut position Also Tuesday, the commissioners approved the elimination of a permit technician position in the Routt County Regional Building Department. The move is expected to save $12,500 this year and is the result of a substantial decrease in construction activity this year. The layoff brings the Building Department’s total personnel cuts this year to 4 1/2 positions. Earlier this year, three other county employees were laid off in other departments. Layoffs in the Routt County Regional Building Department are being handled separately because it is a feesupported department. “We must be aware that we are tied to the hills and valleys of the construction industry,” Building Official Carl Dunham wrote in a staff report. — To reach Brandon Gee, call 367-7507 or e-mail bgee@steamboatpilot.com

��

without the use of cash reserves, the county would have to leave the 10 percent pay reduction in place and eliminate about a dozen more positions. The one projected bright spot in the 2010 budget, Sullivan said, is an expected $500,000 increase in property tax collections because of increases in the county’s assessed valuation. “Next year looks better,” Sullivan said. “We’ll see where it goes.”

Thus the Pilot & Today’s five-part series, AT ISSUE House of Cards. While House the series concluded of Cards Friday, the impacts of the housing and ecoOUR VIEW nomic crises will conPilot & Today’s tinue to play out in the daily lives of many — five-part if not most — Routt series aimed County residents. to peel back The aim of the the layers of series was to peel Routt County’s back the layers of Routt County’s ecoeconomic nomic troubles and troubles. to tell the stories of the recession through the lives of residents. Folks such as the Griepentrogs, the Woodfords and the Murphys put real faces to the troubles and opportunities created by the downturn. But for every personal story highlighted in the pages of House of Cards, there are dozens of similar stories that are unfolding daily in our neighborhoods and workplaces. And that’s the

message. The decline of Routt County’s real estate economy has had a traumatic impact not only on the construction and real estate industries, but on nearly every industry and facet of life here. There are some in the community who prefer our problems get glossed over and that the happy faces we put on for our visitors mask the very real problems many families and businesses are experiencing. We disagree. Discussing what so many of us are experiencing is key to understanding how we got here and how we’ll emerge on the other side. The past five years have taught us that rapid growth in the real estate market and the inevitable market correction result in a wave that spreads throughout the entire community. That rapid growth was driven by a wealthy and retiring baby boomer generation and a lending climate that allowed just about anyone to secure loans to purchase property. When the national housing market fell apart, those loans became dangerously risky for borrowers who suddenly found themselves out of work or making payments on properties that no longer were worth as much as the loan that purchased them. It wasn’t just the wealthy who took advantage of the easy credit; many of Steamboat’s regular working-class folks

bought into the market. Some of them are now in over their heads, struggling under the weight of lost employment or decreased wages and reset loan terms. Those who need out so they can find work elsewhere can’t sell their properties in this distressed market. Historically high inventory coupled with record low transactions in the first quarter of 2009 paint a clear picture of the state of our market. The number of foreclosures this year is on pace to triple the county’s previous high. Routt County’s unemployment rate has more than doubled in the past year. Steamboat Springs and Routt County governments have slashed their budgets, instituted employee furloughs and, in some cases, laid off workers. Job loss in the private sector has been much higher. But for all the bad this community has experienced during the past year, we must recognize that it won’t last forever. The real estate market and economy eventually will return, though the former may never be what it was in the middle part of this decade. Tourists will come to experience our beautiful community, and sales tax revenues will increase. The local job market will grow, providing opportunities for the next generation of Routt County residents. But those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

TODAY

Thanks, Steamboat We recently were married in Steamboat Springs (not legally, of course) at the Bella Vista Estate just outside of town. Many of our 60 guests were perplexed as to why we would choose Colorado and Steamboat Springs for our gay wedding. We traveled to Steamboat for the first time last year and fell in love with the charm of the city and the people we met. It did not take long for our guests to realize why we had chosen this spot.

MALLARD FILLMORE

The town has such an appreciation of nature and seeks to include and benefit from it as much as possible. From the hiking to fishing to ATV rides and skiing and snowboarding in the winter, Steamboat is truly one with nature. Yet, this really isn’t the heart of Steamboat. The people impressed us more than the scenery. Throughout the week, we were not shy about our reasons for being in Steamboat. We told our concierge at the Sheraton; our waiters and waitresses at the Tap House, Cafe Diva and bistro c.v.; the staff at the Bella Vista

and many more and were greeted by such warm and welcoming responses. The staff at the Sheraton gave us Champagne on our wedding night. Our excellent waitresses at Cafe Diva and the Tap House were overjoyed when we told them and surprised us with complimentary desserts as well as their congratulations and excitement.

�� Capitalism not responsible for recession ��

Zachary Linnert and Kevin Pease TEANECK, N.J.

About the Fed Alice Rivlin, a former vice chairwoman of the Federal Reserve, packed the house at the Seminars at Steamboat forum Aug. 21 with her topic, “The Future of Capitalism.”

a good business to be in. The Fed was spawned after private banking interests paid for Woodrow Wilson’s campaign. Upon taking office, Wilson signed the Federal Reserve bill, delegating Congress’ duty to coin and regulate the value of currency to a private banking group. Constitutional sound money restricts the growth of government. An unconstitutional fiat money system facilitates the unlimited growth of government. This is done by debasing the currency, secretly confiscating the wealth of the people through the insidious inflation tax. For generations, our socialized schools cite the mantra that the Fed was created to stabilize the economy. Real history proves that the Fed has utterly failed to accomplish its stated goals. The Fed is responsible for the crashes of 1921 and 1929, followed by the Great Depression of 1929-39, the crashes of ’53, ’57, ’69, ’75, ’81, Black Monday in ’87, the Dot.com bubble and collapse, and now the Great Recession (if not Greater Depression). It is the Fed that has facilitated the growth of a leviathan government and the corporatism that has bankrupted our country. Thomas Jefferson said, … “If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks … will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. … The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.” A good start is to call Rep. John Salazar and insist that he co-sponsor and push to pass bill HR-1207, Audit the Fed, as well as calling Sens. Udall and Bennet and insist that they both co-sponsor the Senate version of the bill, S-604.

siasm. He was not shy in the least about his responsibility to capture the intimacy of the event without bias or judgment. Ken and Donna at the Bella Vista were beyond gracious and even joined us for the event, showing their support for our union. Fireside Catering’s Gregory Smith had an openminded demeanor and sincerity that made our day as carefree and memorable as possible. He worked with us to make sure that the day was what we wanted and surprised us in the end with some nice unexpected touches. Not only did we walk away from the event with great pictures, good memories, an excellent view and delicious food in our bellies, but we walked away with friendships that will bring us back to Steamboat again. We were told during the week about the curse of the Yampa River and how we would never truly find happiness anywhere else. After the week that we had, we can honestly say that we have been cursed. Regardless of political opinions on the controversial subject, it was absolutely the perfect spot for us to get married and a place to which we will return. To the people of Steamboat and those who were directly involved with our wedding, we are so thankful to you because you made us feel more than welcome — you made us feel at home. We could not have asked for a more magical and receptive weekend.

I had no false hopes that a Keynesian big-government insider would have suddenly had an epiphany and embrace free-market capitalism. The idea that capitalism is responsible for the economic crisis we now suffer from is completely without merit. Free-market capitalism requires sound money and a minimum of government interference. We haven’t had sound money since the Federal Reserve was created in 1913, and we have had growing government intervention in the economy since the last attack on capitalism — FDR’s New Deal. Mrs. Rivlin did concede that government policy may have played a role in our current crisis, but her version was a lack of regulation. Mrs. Rivlin cited the myth taught in government schools that the Great Depression was caused by stock market speculation. Absent was the part about where the credit explosion came from that fueled the speculation — bad judgment and fraud. Like today’s “Great Recession,” the Fed created the roaring ’20s bubble by increasing credit at below-market interest rates, geometrically expanding the money supply through the Ponzi scheme called fractional banking. It is not by accident that our socialized schools do not teach our children about money, the real story behind the Fed, the inflation it creates and the devastating effect it has on the citizens. It is from the Fed’s manipulation of our fiat money system that politicians and the politically connected derive their power It is imperative that the American people understand money and the Fed if they are to have any hope of restoring their freedom. The Federal Reserve is not federal, and it does not have reserves. The Fed is a cartel of private bankers who have been granted the monopoly to create money out of thin air by a corrupt government. Having a monopoly to create money out of thin air is

Parking fines exempted

Council votes, 4-3, to add $20 to cost of most municipal tickets Brandon Gee

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Speeding, littering, walking dogs off-leash and several other small crimes soon will cost you another Andrew Jackson in Steamboat Springs. City Council voted, 4-3, Tuesday to add a $20 surcharge to fines for most municipal violations. The Steamboat Springs Police Department also suggested a $5 surcharge for parking violations, but that provision of the surcharge ordinance was removed because of council members’ concerns that it could have a chilling effect on downtown business and affect locals disproportionately. The surcharges will be used to pay for training and equipment for the Police Department, except in the case of animal violations. Surcharges on those tickets will be put toward the development of city dog parks. Council members Loui Antonucci, Steve Ivancie, Jon Quinn and Walter Magill voted in favor of the ordinance. Council members Cari Hermacinski, Scott Myller and

Meg Bentley voted against it. The ordinance passed a preliminary reading, which included the parking surcharges, two weeks ago, 5-1, with Myller dissenting and Hermacinski absent. Steamboat Police Capt. Bob DelValle said the surcharges would help mitigate cuts to the department’s training budget that were made as part of citywide budget cuts. “I think this is a great way to solve a problem,” Quinn said. Hermacinski disagreed and said the city should simply raise fines. The difference is that the increased revenue would go to the city’s general fund and wouldn’t be earmarked for specific purposes. Hermacinski said that was more appropriate so that the city could weigh the needs of the Police Department against all its needs in deciding how to allocate the money. Myller and Bentley said it was a bad time to put an additional burden on residents. “I still just don’t feel like this is the right way to raise revenue,” Myller said. “It adds insult to injury. … These are good

programs, we just need to find money elsewhere for them.” Also Tuesday, council unanimously approved the final reading of an ordinance that would prohibit the demolition of structures in certain zone districts at the base of Steamboat Ski Area without an approved plan for redevelopment. The ordinance was spurred by the demolition of Ski Time Square and Thunderhead Lodge, and subsequent claims by developers with The Atira Group that they may need as many as five years to break ground on redevelopment projects. Hermacinski referred to the law as the “Save the Ptarmigan” ordinance, referring to the Ptarmigan Inn at the base area that has been proposed for redevelopment.

Incrementarían impuestos a los vehículos alquilados Los residentes de Hayden decidirán en Noviembre si se debe aumentar el costo de renta de vehículos HAYDEN

incremento propuesto del 3.5% al impuesto a las ventas, lo cual decidirán los votantes de Hayden en las elecciones que se realizaran el próximo 3 de noviembre.

En el Condado de Eagle, los usuarios pagan un 38% en impuestos, en Aspen pagan 32% y en Denver pagan 30% . “Denver tiene la capacidad, en términos de volumen, para poder trabajar con un 30%.

Retooling or Retraining in this Recession?

Look to your partner on the hill, Colorado Mountain College STEAMBOAT SPRINGS CHAMBER RESORT ASSOCIATION

Economic recessions often can be a time of heightened entrepreneurship. In the process of downsizing, looking for efficiencies, being unemployed or looking for new opportunities for your business, people become innovative. This innovation can spark new businesses, which with nurturing and capital, can meet service and product needs for a changing customer base. Especially with the dynamic and growing technology environment, you can expect to see some new names in the marketplace when the economy recovers. Businesses such as Federal Express, Microsoft and CNN were hatched in the last major recession of the 1980s. Burger King came out of the recession of 1953, IHOP during the recession of 1958, and HewlettPackard right after the Great Depression. Certainly there were many business failures during these times, but those people who were looking for opportunity and preparing themselves to take advantage of new paradigms found incredible success.

Certification New for the Alpine Campus of Colorado Mountain College in 2009 is the Entrepreneurship Certificate program under the tutelage of Randy Rudasics. Two capstone classes including Entrepreneurship Operations (fall) and Small Business Management (spring) will be taught at the Alpine campus by Rudasics. Other required courses will be available through

the “virtual network” that links students in Steamboat Springs with teachers throughout the CMC system. This fall marks the first semester of this program and has an enrollment of 15 students. Of those, about half are looking for a new career opportunity, and the other half are traditional students. “We needed eight people to start the program, so nearly doubling that is an excellent sign that there is demand for this program,” Rudasics said. In this three-hour weekly class, students will work on a theoretical or real business plan. “We are bringing real-life examples from the Steamboat Springs business community to the classroom so that people can learn from the entrepreneurs themselves — people like Ben Stroock, from The Drunken Onion, Rex Brice, from the Steamboat Restaurant Group, and Mike Smith, of Excel Gymnastics,” Rudasics said. An Associates of Applied Science degree in entrepreneurship also is being offered with more courses on campus. There are three certificate programs available in entrepreneurship, small business finance and Ebusiness/E-commerce for those who want to improve their skills and enhance their marketability for the next employment opportunity. Would-be entrepreneurs also may want to take advantage of a very short and compressed sample of the entrepreneurship certificate program by taking First Steps and Next Steps programs offered through the Business Resource Center. Call 870-4491 for more information.

Retooling your business Classes in computer technology, Quickbooks, business and resort management, accounting and others can help current business owners and managers hone their skills. For example, CMC’s new managerial finance course uses materials developed at the University of Colorado’s Leeds School of Business, and it is geared to complement Rudasic’s entrepreneurship courses. Enrollment is up this semester for business classes, said Fred Hampel, associate professor and business discipline coordinator for CMC. “This could be attributed to more of our traditional students watching the employment opportunities dwindle in this recession, as well as residents retooling their résumés,” Hampel said.

Yacht Club from Dick and Paulette Mills — who purchased it from founder Alan Barbee — on Hoj’s way out of his 13year role as executive chef at the Steamboat Ski Area. Before that, Hoj cooked at Mattie Silks for five years, and before that, he had stints at The Lowell Whiteman School and PerryMansfield Performing Arts School and Camp.

Morton Hoj and his staff kept detailed records at the Steamboat Yacht Club during the past decade. Chef Hoj estimates his restaurant has served more than a half million meals since November 1999, and he worked tens of thousands of hours himself. “We’ve been feeding 50,000 to 70,000 people a year,” Hoj said. “During the last 10 years, I worked 30,000 hours and then some. I put in 70 to 80 hours a week.” Now it’s time for Hoj, a couple of weeks away from his 57th birthday, to kick back for a little while. He’ll take his wife and daughter to celebrate a traditional Christmas in Denmark for the first time since 1976. The Hojs will phase down the Yacht Club this month, serving their last riverside luncheon on the deck Monday and continuing to serve dinners until Sept. 12. They’ll go out with a bang Sept. 13 when Hoj and staff will whip up the last of the food in the cooler into a free Sunday buffet. That’s right — free food. After that, the ship has sailed.

Dave Gerard has been coming to the Steamboat Springs area for about 20 years as a solo act, leader of a duo or the frontman for his band, Truffle. This week, he and harmonica/accordion player Daniel “Moose” Bednarski will make stops at 9 p.m. Thursday at Old Town Pub and 8 p.m. Friday at Hahn’s Peak Café. The cover charge for Thursday’s show is $5; Friday’s show is free. “It’s acoustic guitar and harmonica, but it’s not like a coffeehouse sitting on stools and playing a harmonica,” said Gerard, a singer-songwriter based in New Hampshire. The shows feature traditional tunes, New Orleans R&B, blues and cuts from “The Zoomy Trail,” Gerard’s recently released solo album. Gerard took the name for the record from his grandfather, who used to take Gerard for walks on trails when he was young. Every trail, no matter where it was, was “The Zoomy Trail,” Gerard said. “I thought that was a great analogy for an album, is that every time you put it on, it would take you to a different place,” he said. For hard copies of the record, Gerard contracted a printer out of Portland, Maine, to roll each label on a letterpress from the 1930s, he said. The designers switched ink color each time the plates needed to be re-inked, giving every 50 or so copies a different color scheme, he said.

A raid of a south Steamboat Springs home Monday night turned up about a pound of methamphetamine and about half a pound of cocaine, and ended with three men arrested. Law enforcement officers estimate the seized drugs are worth about $81,000 in street value. SanluisI nve s t i g at o r s Espinoza with the Northwest Colorado All Crimes Enforcement Team and officers from the Steamboat Springs Police Department uncovered the drugs, parapherOchoanalia and more Espinoza than $6,000 in cash in a home in the 1400 block of Creekside Court, off Whistler Road. Ernesto Sanluis-Espinoza, 31; Alexander OchoaEspinoza, 24; and OrdunoJorge OrdunoAcuno Acuno, 25; were booked into the Routt County Jail early Tuesday morning on suspicion of distribution of a Schedule 2 drug and money laundering. The men are Mexican citizens living in Steamboat Springs, and all face a $20,000 bond on the two charges, both Class 3 felonies. The three also have holds from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, so even if they were able to make bail, they would still have to prove their legal status before they would be released. Formal charges have not yet been filed in the case. Fourteenth Judicial Deputy District Attorney Rusty Prindle said he expects to file the charges by Thursday. The men appeared via video conference before Routt County Judge James Garrecht for an initial appearance Tuesday, and will return at 1:30 p.m. today. One of the men, who was not identified, could be heard asking the judge what he should do because he See ACET, page 22

Yacht Club continued from 15 the business. However, before a new lease could be written, the owners of the real estate got an offer they couldn’t refuse on the property at 811 Yampa St. It includes the restaurant, a large undeveloped lawn next door and the steel building that houses Backdoor Sports. The new owners will develop the Whitewater Run mixed-use project and intend to spin off the restaurant to a third party. Realtor Jim Cook confirmed Tuesday that there is a buyer in place who will let the restaurant go dark for a time while undertaking a major remodeling to include a second floor seating deck overlooking the river. Cook represented the sellers and the buyers of the restaurant building. “The buyers have very aggressive remodeling plans,” he said. Cook said he was not free to identify the buyers, who have yet to close on the purchase.

The remodeled restaurant “has the opportunity to be the crossroads, in terms of dining and entertainment, for the whole center of downtown,” Cook said. Hoj says his strongest emotions associated with the restaurant business involve his employees. “I’ve heard every excuse there is for missing a shift,” he said with a hearty laugh. “‘I went to a concert in Denver last night and I’m stuck in Denver.’ As much as we hate them, as much as we love them, we’re sure going to miss them.” Hoj’s wife, Ellen Hoj, who has stayed away from her husband’s business for the most part, estimates the 25 employees who work at the restaurant today are among more than 700 who have passed through the waiter’s aisle. Janice Held, head bookkeeper and Morton’s shrink, has decided she’ll retire and spend more time skiing after seven

years spent in the rabbit warren of offices above the dining room. “She kept my suppliers at length, and I could always bounce things off her,” Hoj said. “I think Morton’s ready to retire,” Held said. “He’s going to be sad when it closes, though.” What kept her so loyal? “I could take vacation whenever I wanted,” she said. Hoj has special plans for his longtime customers. He’s always served discounted meals in celebration of his birthday this month. This time around, it’s 43 percent off Sept. 10 to 12, followed by the Sept. 13 buffet that is free to everyone as long as there is food to be prepared. When Hoj goes home that night, don’t be surprised if he slips into his own kitchen and whips up dinner for his family — maybe a platter of breaded ground pork cutlets, Danish style. “Cooking is easy,” Hoj said.

Yampa town officials say the speed limit around South Routt Elementary School could become an issue. The speed limit near the school is 15 mph, 24 hours a day. The Yampa Town Board will discuss the limit and signage at a meeting at 7 p.m. today at Town Hall. Town Clerk Janet Ray said the town has placed new signs around the school, and some residents have questioned whether the school-zone speed limit should be enforced all day. “I think there’s some ques-

tion by a couple of people if that should have some dates and times as opposed to it being all the time,” she said. Board member Arlene Porteus said the town could install two-faced signs instead of single-sided, and adjust the signs to the proper height. “We’re working out a few kinks we had,” Porteus said. The town will hear a report from its Public Works Department at tonight’s meeting, but Ray said she does not expect the board to take any action. This also will be the last meeting for Porteus, who said she is moving to Paonia. The position will remain vacant until someone steps

Lowell Whiteman Primary School first-graders Jennings Knox, left, and Peter Cook open the gate at a campground at the head of Sleeping Giant, where students got to know one another last week before the start of school.

Enrollment Nancy Spillane, director of school at Lowell Whiteman Primary School, said this year’s enrollment was capped at 60 students, where it has been for the past five years. “Unlike a lot of independent schools, we’re full this year and we’re blessed,” she said. The school’s enrollment has grown from 32 students when it opened in 1993, she said. Spillane said more than 80 families were in the waiting pool this year to get their children into the school. She said the school has had a waiting list since it opened.

Spillane said Lowell Whiteman Primary is all about outdoor education, and the camping trip allowed it to introduce that program to students, especially the younger ones, in preparation for winter and spring activities. ect was tough, and the kids “We feel it’s our duty to “rocked” it. teach kids in this city how to “I felt really good aftersurvive,” she said. “We take ward,” said fifth-grader Eloise big responsibility for that.” Borden, one of the Core Trail Ruzicka and group memPaulis added that bers, who added “It’s a great way the camping trip’s that they got ice activities not only to form an identity. cream after their provided the stuThree days in the work. “We got to dents with outdoor woods equals about help the environeducation, they ment.” two months in the taught them perseSixth-grader classroom in terms verance, teamwork Dominique Kattand preparedness, of relationship hain had a theory in addition to about why the building.” stewardship and school does the conservation. camping trip each Cindy Ruzicka “Truly, our goal year.

Math and science teacher Cindy Ruzicka said Tuesday that the camping trip makes the transition to the first week of school so much easier. “It’s a great way to form an identity,” she said. “Three days in the woods equals about two months in the classroom in terms of relationship building.” She said the experiences students shared, from washing dishes to conquering the same hiking trail, allowed them to get to know one another by the time school started. Science teacher Mick Paulis added that the camping trip also allowed the students, and their parents, to see teachers in a different light — outside of a traditional classroom. “Every place is a classroom,” he said.

Short-term solutions could help safety

problem, but focus on things that will actually alleviate the problem.” He said there are several short-term solutions to help increase safety there. They include: ■ Conducting a speed study, which determines speed limits by calculating the speed of 85 percent of the drivers during a short period of time. If the study indicated speeds were lower than the posted limit, the Department of Transportation could reduce the speed. Allen said the study could be completed within a month. ■ Adding signage to alert drivers of upcoming accesses to residences and businesses. Allen said the cement bases for the signs already had been poured and that they just needed to decide which signs to order from the department’s sign shop in Denver, which could happen in the next few weeks. ■ Trimming some of the trees around the curve to make hard-to-see driveways and other access roads visible from the highway. Allen said that would be done before the winter. ■ Contacting the Colorado State Patrol about more enforcement on that stretch of U.S. 40. Many of the community mem-

bers in attendance said drivers passed them on the shoulder or even crossed the double-yellow line to pass as they turned — which is illegal, according to state law. Allen said that could be done immediately. ■ Distributing educational materials about speed limits, access roads and hazards on that stretch of the highway, which Allen also said could be done immediately.

Down the road Allen said middle- to longterm solutions could include widening the shoulders, adding a center turning lane and acquiring right-of-way to move the highway’s slopes back, but those solutions likely wouldn’t occur for at least a year or two because of the state’s budget limitations. Mitsch Bush said funding from the state FASTER legislation, which increased vehicle registration to raise $250 million annually for state bridge and road safety projects, could pay for some of those longer-term solutions. She said as chairwoman of the Northwest Transportation Planning Commission, she could lobby representatives from the commission’s other counties — including Rio Blanco, Moffatt, Grand and Jackson and their municipali-

ties — to prioritize some of the CDOT funding for a project on U.S. 40. Sen. White said the only other way to change the speed limit was to propose legislation that would have to pass through the state House and Senate before being approved by Gov. Bill Ritter. White said he would evaluate whether to do that after the speed study was completed, which he expected before the next legislative session begins in January. Dusty Farrow, who was one of the community members in attendance at Tuesday’s meeting, said he appreciated that local and state lawmakers and CDOT officials cared about improving the safety of the area where his sister-in-law died. “I think they’re going to do what they can,” he said. “What that will be, who knows.” Colorado State Patrol Sgt. Scott Elliott said a dump truck was traveling west on U.S. 40 on July 28 and struck Farrow when it swerved to the right to avoid hitting a Jeep that slowed to turn left into the Riverbend Cabins. Elliott said Tuesday he still was working on the investigation, and no tickets had been issued. He said it was his top priority and likely would be completed in the next few weeks. — To reach Jack Weinstein, call 871-4203 or e-mail jweinstein@steamboatpilot.com

Voters to decide on measure in November Vail continued from 16 ers voted unanimously to put the question on the fall ballot. “We need to go into this with our eyes open,” Commissioner Peter Runyon said. “We’ll really need to weigh how financially viable this would be for each homeowner. “But as a county whose entire economic engine is based on the environment, it’s appropriate to be a lead county on this,” he added. “If we can have a smaller environmental footprint, it’s all to the good.” If voters pass the measure in November, the commissioners will then create a plan.

��

They also have the option to stop the process if the numbers don’t work. If Eagle County does create a plan, it will join Boulder County in a program authorized by the Colorado Legislature last year. The voluntary program provides low-interest loans for projects including new windows, insulation and, in some cases, solar panels. Those projects are generally expensive, and although various rebates are available through government and utility companies, home owners still face significant up-front costs. The “smart loan” program would

cover those initial costs. “It would be great to increase the efficiency in the local housing stock. But it’s hard to get that money up front now,” said Megan Gilman the president of Active Energies, a local solar energy and consulting company. Gilman, who’s also the current chairwoman of the Eagle Valley Alliance for Sustainability’s board of directors, added that a “smart loan” program would create work for companies like hers. “This would be great for jobs,” she said. “We could create ‘green collar’ jobs out of some of our blue collar jobs.”

Investigators from the All Crimes Enforcement Team and members of the Steamboat Springs Police Department Emergency Response Team seized about 1 pound of methamphetamine, about a half pound of cocaine and $6,000 in cash Monday evening during a no-knock warrant in Creekside Court.

Members of Team Pain are expected to be in town later this week to begin construction on the first phase of the project, which will include bowls and a street section. Casson said phase two of the project will add 8,000 to 10,000 square feet, and is expected to include more street features, a snake run area and steeper bowls.

Team Pain, an internationally known company that has built skateparks in Florida, California and Belgium, is designing and building the park. The company is just finishing a project outside of Littleton and has built parks in Aspen, Silverthorne and Colorado Springs. The Steamboat Skatepark Alliance is still seeking donations to continue with phase two of the project and to maintain the park. Wilson said the long-term plan is to develop the parcel into a community park, which will tie into the Yampa River Core Trail and showcase the skatepark. Wilson said for the immediate future, access to

the park will be from the Core Trail. There are no immediate plans for a parking lot in the area, and construction traffic will remain heavy until nearby projects are completed. Casson said donors can purchase a brick that will become a permanent part of the park, or donate through the Yampa Valley Community Foundation. Wilson said the effort to build the park is a collaboration between his department, city public works and several private businesses that have offered inkind services. — To reach John F.

Aspen Chamber expects losses The Aspen Chamber Resort Association expects to lose about 50 members this fiscal year because of the recession, the organization’s president said Monday. ACRA budgeted $28,000 less this fiscal year than last for revenues from membership dues. It anticipates collecting $580,000, or 4.5 percent less, than last year’s $608,000. “You just walk down the street and see the empty storefronts, and there will probably be more this fall,” said Warren Klug, vice chairman of ACRA’s board of directors. Fewer businesses translate into fewer dues-paying members, said ACRA President and CEO Debbie Braun. There is always a lot of turnover in businesses and Chamber membership, she said. Typically, ACRA gains 100 new members annually and loses a bit fewer. This

about 180 members throughout the past decade. The average member pays between $500 and $600 a year. The budget anticipates losing roughly 50 members this year. Braun said the ACRA board wanted to be conservative with the budget. She hopes the Chamber doesn’t actually lose that many members. The next three weeks is a particularly important — and telling — period for the Chamber. Typically one-third of members, or about 300 businesses, renew during this period so they can get discounts on ski pass purchases. Chamber officials are anxious to see how the membership pans out because member dues are the single biggest source of revenue for ACRA’s general budget. The Chamber budget anticipates total income of about $1.13 million this year. Member dues account for about half that income. ACRA also anticipates losing income in advertising and event sponsorships.

Summit County food bank struggles Caitlin Row

SUMMIT DAILY NEWS

SUMMIT COUNTY

With an economically challenging year only half finished, public aid providers still are struggling to meet local needs. And the number of people asking for help only seems to grow. “It’s been a very challenging year. As you know there’s a lot of need particularly in emergency assistance like food, rent, utilities and clothing,” said Family and Intercultural Resources Center executive director Tamara Drangstveit. “Keeping up with that level of need for a sustained period of time is extremely challenging. While we’re lucky that Summit County is an extremely generous community, we certainly need more help in meeting the need.” Use of FIRC’s food bank is up 400 percent, and it’s seeing a lot of first-time people, said FIRC development director Anita Overmyer. Rental assistance is up, too, she added. Drangstveit said the food bank has been forced to buy quite a bit of food from the Food Bank of the Rockies to keep up with the community’s ever-increasing needs. So far, $4,412.05 worth of food has been bought this year, compared to $275.95 spent on food in 2008. Yet, the food bank is pretty empty by the end of the month, Drangstveit said. To combat funds and food shortages, the

nonprofit is set to hold two fundraisers this month — the 5K FIRC Walk Against Hunger and the Hearthstone dinner and silent auction. Drangstveit said she hopes they can raise $30,000 between the two events. “There’s a huge issue with people making it in Summit County right now, and the unemployment average here is higher than the state,” Drangstveit said. “All of the agencies across the county providing emergency services are struggling to keep up with the need.”

Jude Mitchell, the administrator at Dillon Community Church agrees — the food bank and other human services are “still cranking and we’ve been very busy,” she said. Dillon’s food bank served 1,633 people for 2008. And half way through 2009, Mitchell said they’ve already helped 2,000 people. “We’ll be double at least over last year,” Mitchell said. “It’s not surprising given the economy. We realize that people have meaningful needs.”

year the loss is expected to be greater than usual, she said. The Chamber also may lose revenue from members who are downsizing their businesses. Most businesses pay a fee based in part on how many workers they employ. Many businesses, from architects to newspapers, have sliced their staffs. Klug said some small-business owners are slicing expenses in an effort to survive. That will mean the Chamber fee gets the ax, in some cases. ACRA kept its fees at the same rate this year to minimize the effect on members. Braun said the ACRA staff reaches out to businesses that aren’t renewing their membership and stresses why it is important for them to remain with the organization. Member benefits include discounts on ski passes, eligibility for health insurance coverage and direct and indirect marketing aid. The ACRA had about 866 members last fiscal year. It added

The cuts that took effect Tuesday call for the release of 3,500 of the 23,000 inmates during two years, saving the state about $45 million, Department of Corrections spokeswoman Katherine Sanguinetti said. An additional 2,600 parolees, or 21 percent of those currently on parole, will be released from intense supervision. Prisoners eligible for early release are those within six months of their mandatory release date. Those eligible for early parole release must have served at least half of their supervised term. Money will be saved by reducing the number of inmates sent to private prisons, Sanguinetti said.

Wildfire smoke prompts health advisory in Colorado DENVER

Wildfires burning in California, Utah and western Colorado have made Colorado’s air hazy, clouded mountain views — and prompted advisories from state health officials. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Safety on Tuesday advised young people, the elderly and those with heart disease and respiratory illnesses to stay inside if visibility was less than five miles in their neighborhoods.

New state laws finance clean energy, tech projects DENVER

Several new laws are now in effect in Colorado. One new law provides treasury bonds to participating

banks and lenders for renewable energy and efficiency projects. The new law will finance energyefficient structures by marketing loans for clean energy improvements to homes and businesses. Another will create new businesses and high-paying jobs by offering a tax credit for so-called angel investors who provide much-needed funding for earlystage technology companies.

Denver police reject delays in scheduled pay increases DENVER

Denver police have rejected delays in scheduled pay increases, prompting Mayor John Hickenlooper to warn that layoffs will be necessary unless officers reconsider. About 60 percent of the Denver Police Protective Association voted Monday against deferring a 2010 pay raise of 4.5 percent in December, and a 2011 pay raise of 3 percent to December of that year.

Firefighters gain on blaze

at the scene of two other wildfires burning in the inland region east of Los Angeles. Meteorologist Curt Kaplan says there was a 20 percent chance of a thunderstorm in the fire area Tuesday, but that could end up being a bad thing because the storm could spawn 40-mph wind gusts. The one factor that’s helped firefighters this week has been the lack of wind to drive the flames. Kaplan says tempera-

tures will begin slowly cooling later in the week. “The good news is that it’s humidity,” Dietrich said. “The bad news is that it may produce lightning, possibly dry lightning, over parts of the fire area.” The blaze threatened some 12,000 homes but already had done its worst to the suburban Tujunga Canyon neighborhood, where residents returned to their wrecked homes.

��

Firefighters set backfires and removed brush with bulldozers across a huge swath of Southern California forest Tuesday to try to contain a 190-square-mile wildfire that has destroyed 53 homes and threatened thousands more in foothill suburbs. The commander of the vast firefighting operation expressed a positive outlook for the first time in the week since the blaze erupted in the Angeles National Forest north of Los Angeles and grew into a giant. “I’m feeling a lot more optimistic today than I did yesterday, and the crews are doing fabulous work out there on the grounds but the bottom line is that they’re fighting for every foot,” said Mike Dietrich of the U.S. Forest Service. The fire continued to spread in wilderness but Dietrich said the containment figure was expected to rise substantially from the current 5 percent after overnight progress was mapped. He noted that bulldozers had carved up to 12 miles of lines, and no new structures were lost overnight. Some 3,600 firefighters and aircraft were working across a 50-mile span to battle the blaze. “There’s action everywhere,” Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said as a thundering helicopter interrupted his news conference

New orders grow for month Manufacturing sector a sign of improving economy

��

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AROUND THE WORLD NEW YORK

The U.S. manufacturing sector grew in August for the first time in 19 months, adding to evidence that the recession is ending. The better-than-expected reading Tuesday by the Institute for Supply Management showed the highest number for its manufacturing index since June 2007. New customer orders jumped to a level not seen since late 2004. And in another sign of an improving economy, a gauge of future U.S. home sales increased more than expected in July to the highest point in two years. The reports raised hopes for a broad economic rebound. Still, as long as consumers remain hamstrung by weak pay and job losses, and wary of ramping up spending, the economy might not be able to sustain a recovery. Consumers bought more cars last month, due mainly to the popular Cash for Clunkers program, which boosted Ford Motor Co.’s U.S. sales 17.2 percent compared to last year.

NYC schools to offer free swine flu vaccinations

The nation’s largest school district reported Tuesday that it will offer free swine flu vaccinations to its 1 million-plus schoolchildren as New York City takes bold steps to avoid becoming the country’s flu epicenter again in the fall. Hundreds of school districts nationwide have agreed to allow vaccinations in school buildings, once the vaccine becomes available in mid- to late October as the nation prepares for a spike in swine flu cases in the coming months. New York officials said the vaccine — also available to private schoolchildren — would mostly be given to children

through a “mist” in the nose rather than by injection. Nationwide, swine flu has killed about 500 people.

Mexico evacuates residents ahead of Hurricane Jimena LOS CABOS, MEXICO

Heavy winds, battering waves and bands of intense rain pummeled residents and tourists in this vacation resort as Hurricane Jimena, one of the largest hurricanes this year, neared the coast Tuesday. The center of the roaring hurricane, which weakened to a still threatening Category 3, was on course to pass west of Los Cabos late Tuesday or early today, close enough to punish the picturesque beaches and fishing villages that fringe the harsh desert. The Mexican government declared a state of emergency for Los Cabos and the Baja California Sur state capital of La Paz and schools, many ports and most businesses were closed. Rescue workers from the Red Cross and the Mexican military prepared for post-hurricane disaster relief, and two Mexican Army Hercules aircraft loaded with medical supplies arrived. Francisco Cota, director of Los Cabos civil defense, said that more than 2,000 people from low-lying neighborhoods and squatters’ camps had sought refuge in shelters at local schools, and many more were staying with relatives in safer areas.

Europe marks anniversary of World War II beginning GDANSK, POLAND

On a wind-swept peninsula where shells lobbed from a German battleship ignited World War II 70 years ago, European leaders vowed Tuesday never to forget the lessons of the 20th century’s bloodiest conflict.

��

Evidence of continued animosity was not far from the surface, however, as Poland pushed for greater acknowledgment from Russia of its role in starting the war, while Russia sought to minimize the impact of Moscow’s 1939 pact with Berlin. At dawn on Gdansk’s Westerplatte peninsula, Poland’s leaders marked the hour the German battleship Schleswig-Holstein shelled a tiny Polish military outpost housing the navy’s arsenal. Red and white Polish flags fluttered in a breeze as the officials opened the ceremony at 4:45 a.m. Later, Poland’s president, prime minister and others placed wreaths at the foot of the towering granite monument to the defenders of Westerplatte. Poland alone lost 6 million citizens, half of them Jews.

Lockerbie overshadows Libyan coup anniversary TRIPOLI, LIBYA

Libya staged a lavish spectacle Tuesday, parading whiterobed horsemen and gold-turbaned dancers as jets streaked overhead to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the coup that brought Moammar Gadhafi to power in the oil-rich nation. The four-day festivities were designed to highlight the volatile leader’s acceptance on the world stage, but were overshadowed by new controversies about the return of the only man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing. While African leaders held a summit to coincide with the celebrations, most Western leaders stayed away. The return home of Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, the only man convicted of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing that killed 270 people, overshadowed the celebrations. His release and warm homecoming outraged many of the victims’ families and U.S. officials.

Battle Mountain is always tough but has a new coach. Palisade just continually gets better, and Delta is always salty and tough.

Her own team, though? “It’s hard to set goals when you’re kind of at far less than full-strength,” Hall said. “Hopefully we can get back to full strength early in the season. We’re a couple weeks from our first league game. If we can see the light at the end of the tunnel by then, I really feel we can make a run at the league title.” Bottom line, Hall said, is so can just about every other team

in the league. Just as last season proved to be a wide-open race, this season has the same flavor. For Steamboat, though, it may very well come down to how soon the Sailors can get healthy.

Nelson Brassell will wear just about anything to put on a competitive basketball jersey again. The 2009 Steamboat Springs High School graduate will attend Tabor Academy in Marion, Mass., to play football

and basketball. There, he said he hopes to earn a college basketball scholarship. Brassell, who wore gym shorts, a T-shirt and flip flops to high school almost every single day, will now be decked out in a full uniform. “Dress socks, slacks, blazer and a tie,” Brassell said. “It’s the whole nine yards. It’s like the military.”

But it’s fine with Brassell, as long as he is allowed the opportunity to play competitive sports again. Brassell was on the waitlist at Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, waiting for a scholarship to play basketball. When that didn’t come through, he enrolled at the University of Colorado. But when the coach at Exeter realized he couldn’t

get Brassell a scholarship, he sent Tabor Academy boys basketball coach Chris Millette Brassell’s film. Millette took one look, researched Steamboat’s program and offered Brassell a $38,000 scholarship. As part of the scholarship, Brassell has to play two sports. See Brassell, page 33

Todd Helton homered into the smoky sky and drove in four runs as the Colorado Rockies snapped a five-game losing streak with an 8-3 win against the New York Mets on Tuesday night. The National League wild-card leaders moved a game ahead of the San Francisco Helton Giants, who lost, 10, at Philadelphia, as they started a 10-game homestand against losing teams with a much-needed win. TUESDAY’S Jason Giambi GAME: made his Rockies Rockies 8 — and National Mets 3 League — debut in the seventh when he batted for the pitcher with the bases loaded and drew a fourpitch walk from Sean Green. All-Star third baseman David Wright was activated from the 15-day disabled list and played his first game for the Mets since getting hit in the head by a pitch from San Francisco’s Matt Cain on Aug. 15. Wright went 1 for 3. Wearing his bulky, new protective batting helmet, Wright helped New York take a 2-0 lead in a wild first inning when he singled and scored. Jorge De La Rosa (13-9) settled down from his shaky start, though, and the Rockies took out Mets right-hander Mike Pelfrey (9-10) early, tagging him for seven runs, six earned, on six hits in four innings. De La Rosa allowed just one earned run and four hits in six innings. He walked three and struck out six despite throwing exactly 50 balls and 50 strikes. Carlos Gonzalez also homered for Colorado, his high drive slicing through the haze that meteorologists blamed on the California wildfires more than 800 miles away and landing in the second deck in right field.

Steamboat Springs High School graduate Nelson Brassell will spend this school year at the Tabor Academy in Massachusetts with the hope of earning a college basketball scholarship.

He played football for part of his senior year, before focusing full-time on basketball. Still, football or not, he had to jump at the opportunity. “I’ll enjoy it. I like playing football,” said Brassell, who was a year young for his grade. “But I just love basketball more. I’m going there for a year to catch up and then hopefully go and play somewhere in college.” Brassell said assistant Steamboat Springs High School basketball coach Jim Bronner was a huge help in his development and progression toward Tabor Academy. Brassell was an integral part of the Steamboat boys basketball team last season, earning first-team all Western Slope League honors and proving to be one of the most versatile players on the court. “I think he brings a lot for any team in terms of he’s a 6-6 or 6-7 kid that can shoot the ball extremely well,” Steamboat basketball coach Luke DeWolfe said. “But he also has a good sense around the basket. He brings a lot to the table. It’s a great next step for him. He’s going to a place that is going to give him the opportunity to be seen by a lot of college coaches. There are a lot of high-level college coaches out there.” Tabor Academy has been ranked one of the top 50 schools to prepare students to gain acceptance to top universities in the United States by the Wall Street Journal.

TENNIS — US OPEN

Maria Sharapova simply couldn’t bear the thought of a U.S. Open taking place without her. So while sidelined with a torn shoulder a year ago, she refused to follow the tournament on TV. On Tuesday night, Sharapova was right where she likes to be: on the Grand Slam stage and in the spotlight. The 2006 U.S. Open champion returned to the tournament with an impressive 6-3, 6-0 victory against Tsvetana Pironkova of Bulgaria.

Dinara Safina. Earlier Tuesday, Safina came perilously close to becoming the first No. 1-seeded woman to lose in the U.S. Open’s first round. But she eked out a victory against an 18-year-old from Australia who is ranked 167th and needed a wild-card invitation to get into the tournament. The worst showing ever by a top-seeded woman in New York came last year, when Ivanovic exited in the second round. Now seeded 11th, Ivanovic did herself one worse this time, losing in the first round to 52nd-ranked Kateryna Bondarenko 2-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7).

“I was in the physical therapy office every single day, and the tennis was on. But I made a point not to watch it,” Sharapova explained. “When you’re not participating in a tournament that you very much love, and you’ve had success at, as an athlete and as a competitor, to not be there and not be competing is pretty tough.” Against her 98th-ranked opponent, Sharapova’s game was as glittery as her black-and-silver dress and matching headwrap, an outfit she described as a tribute to New York’s skyline.

The three-time Grand Slam title winner produced 29 winners — 23 more than Pironkova. And Sharapova’s game was particularly clean in the second set, when she hit 16 winners and only five unforced errors. Apart from four doublefaults, Sharapova showed no signs of the shoulder injury that forced her to have surgery in October and kept off the tour for nearly 10 months. “This is a Grand Slam. You’ve got to get going from the first match,” Sharapova said. “After being gone, this is what it’s all about.” Tell that to Ana Ivanovic. Or

But Colleen makes everyone better. Not only are her skills a huge asset to our team, but everyone plays better with her.” King’s not the only asset,

however. Steamboat features 10 seniors on the varsity squad, including returning starters Devin Wilkinson and Matthia Duryea. Wilkinson led the team in kills last year from her middle blocker position, and Duryea is expected again to slot into the libero position. “It would be incredible to win a league title,” Wilkinson said. “I think we just have to have the determination, but also

the understanding that we can do it.” Hall said at this juncture in the season, the Sailors aren’t where they need to be. She said the keys will be to get better ball control and remain patient. Steamboat doesn’t have the big outside hitters like some teams, and Hall said a trademark of the team has to become its scrappiness. “We need to figure out our ball control,” King said. “We can have really good plays, but we need to figure out ball control — our serve and receive.” While King’s injury has hurt the team in the early going, it’s also given backup setter Jenna Peters a chance to work with the first team. Hall said the team will play a modified 6-2 at times — a formation where typical setter King will play as a hitter. This could potentially create mismatches down the road. Regardless, while the team isn’t where Hall would like, she knows with this group of 10 seniors, the Sailors eventually will be where she wants them.
