Enrollment up in ’Boat Student numbers increased this year, despite weak economy Jack Weinstein

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

If history is any indication, Steamboat Springs will find itself larger and more affluent after this period of economic uncertainty — as it did following recessions in the early 1990s and post-9/11, said Scott Ford, a local financial consultant. Since moving to Steamboat in 1992, Ford has worked with the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association, Steamboat Springs School District and

Colorado Mountain College’s Small Business Resource Center. He said school enrollment likely would increase in Steamboat during the recovery period after a recession, after people experience “cataclysmic events” in their lives that force them to make a change — such as moving their families to a mountain town. But he didn’t expect the increase in enrollment that’s occurring right now. Ford said it was surprising to him that numbers are up for the Steamboat Springs School District this

school year, which began Aug. 24. “The general feeling was that people had left the area, people had folded up their tents and went away,” he said. “That certainly has happened, but based on this information, some families have found a way to stay.” The district’s enrollment has increased, as of this week, to 2,154 students — including North Routt Community MATT STENSLAND/STAFF Charter School, which grew by Soda Creek Elementary School teacher Beth Leech leads her class outside six students — from 2,139 last after school Friday. Enrollment in Steamboat Springs schools increased slightly this

year despite the economic recession, which some administrators thought would have caused families to leave Steamboat.

Spokeswoman Suzi Mariano, of the Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association, said the flu season tends to start when students go back to school but that so far H1N1 vaccines are not available. “We don’t know the amount of vaccine we’re going to receive or when we’re going to receive it,” she said. The federal government will distribute the vaccine to states, which will in turn distribute to local health agencies. Mariano said the VNA has several plans ready for different scenarios. The VNA has worked with Routt County Emergency Management Director Bob Struble to develop a list of the critical county employees who would first receive the vaccine — emergency responders, law enforcement officers, elected officials, road and bridge crews and others. That list includes about 275 people, including the employees, their spouses and children, Struble said. After those critical employees are vaccinated, the vaccines will be offered to all county employees and the public. “At the county level we’ve been

Steamboat trying to streamline spending New community support framework to aid 10 percent cuts in 2010 Brandon Gee

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

There will be no shortage of drama when the Steamboat Springs City Council attempts to cut spending by 10 percent in 2010, but the governing body has taken steps to distance itself from one of the more emotionally charged aspects of the budget process. The planned 10 percent cut to spending citywide amounts PAGE DESIGNED BY ALLISON MIRIANI

to about $2 million and comes on top of massive budget cuts this year — including a furlough program that has seen city employees’ pay and hours cut by 10 percent — that amounted to a 13 percent reduction in spending from 2008. Steamboat Springs’ sales tax collections decreased by 21.5 percent in June compared with June 2008. The city collected less than $1.2 million in sales tax in June, compared with about $1.5 million for the month last year. That puts the

year-to-date collections at $8.7 million, compared with $10.5 million year-to-date at this time last year. That’s a 16.8 percent decrease. With the help of volunteers, the city has created a new framework for its community support spending, a relatively small but emotional portion of the city budget that goes toward organizations dedicated to areas such as the arts, human services and the environment. The city doesn’t plan to spare the spend-

Rethinking health care reform

OUR VIEW

Leave the park alone

Carole L. Milligan, MD FOR THE PILOT & TODAY

he city of Steamboat Springs is being unnecessarily heavy-handed and overbearing in its handling of a resident-maintained park in the Riverside neighborhood on the west side of town. It’s time city officials put an end to the dispute by drafting an agreement allowing the neighbors to conAT ISSUE Dispute about tinue to maintain and use, with limited restrictions, the piece of Riverside open city-owned property. space parcel The disagreement arose after Riverside resident Dave Epstein was issued a ticket June 9 for OUR VIEW cutting down willow shrubs The city on a section of the four-acre should parcel with a heavy-duty bush allow the mower. Steamboat Springs Police neighborhood Department officers were acting residents on a complaint from a neighbor. That incident prompted to maintain the city to take a closer look the park as at the park, which was deeded they have for to Steamboat in 1990 by five almost three Riverside residents, two of whom decades. still live in the neighborhood. The residents bought the land to protect it from development. The deed states that the land conveyance to the city is valid only if it “remains predominantly in a natural, scenic and open condition without any construction of improvements thereon (except for streambank stabilization projects).” Jim Funk, one of the five Riverside property owners on the deed, is happy with the way the space has been used, including the mowed field. “I wanted to see my river,” he told the Steamboat Pilot & Today for an Aug. 28 article. But in an example of government bureaucracy gone bad, the city Parks, Open Space and Recreational Services Department suddenly has taken a heavy-handed approach to a parcel largely ignored since it was deeded in 1990. After Epstein was issued his ticket, the city removed a salvaged bench that he had installed on the banks of the Yampa River. City officials said the bench didn’t comply with their design standards and management practices. The city’s efforts didn’t end there. City staff also took the time to place several boulders near the park’s entrance, essentially blocking the entrance for the riding mower that longtime Riverside resident Marty Boomgarden has used to cut the grass. City officials said the boulders were placed there to keep out vehicles. Certainly there must be more important issues for the city to spend its time and money on. How many staff hours were wasted placing the boulders? And how many more hours will be wasted now that the city has agreed to remove the boulders? The Steamboat Springs Parks and Recreation Commission held its Aug. 26 meeting on the parcel. The city has been firm in its position that it must take responsibility for looking after the property while attempting to reach a compromise that satisfies neighborhood residents, is consistent with city policies and community plans and protects the Yampa River. The city offered a compromise that would allow Riverside residents to continue mowing 0.4 acres of the property. The compromise excludes the area Epstein was ticketed for mowing, where willows encroach in an arc into the rectangular field. The compromise would then shrink the field by not allowing mowing within 25 feet of the river’s highwater mark. Parks and Recreation Commission Chairman Jack Trautman said he thought the compromise was reasonable, particularly because the city typically requires a 50-foot setback from the river’s high-water mark. But that setback is for buildings and shouldn’t be applied to a grass field. The maintained grass at Dr. Rich Weiss Park, for example, flirts with the riverbank. The correct move would be for the city to draft an agreement with Riverside residents allowing them to continue to maintain the existing mowed area while not disturbing the actual riverbank. Such a simple, straightforward solution lets the residents enjoy their piece of open space while not burdening the Parks and Recreation Department with additional maintenance duties.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Health care rebuttal In the Aug. 30 Steamboat Pilot & Today, John Doolittle makes several false statements that must be answered. First, he states that the House health care bill (HR3200: America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009), provides for “authorization for a Medical Review Panel whose members can deny medical procedures if judged too costly or if it only extends life somewhat but provides no permanent cure.” I searched HR3200 online at the Library of Congress Web site, http://thomas.loc.gov/, and found no reference to any such panel. In fact, there is no reference to any kind of rationing of health care — either by cost effectiveness or by requiring a permanent cure. Rationing by ability to pay for insurance does occur today, but will not occur if HR3200, or a similar bill, is passed. Mr. Doolittle goes on to cite pages 425-430 of the bill as requiring end-of-life counseling, which, he says, “provides subtle guidance to sick citizens to terminate their life for the better good.” I’m afraid Mr. Doolittle has fallen prey to a widely distributed chain e-mail that cites page numbers of the bill and offers wildly inaccurate interpretations. For a detailed response to said email, please visit http://fact check.org. Pages 425-430 include Section B-II-C-1233, Advance Care Planning Consultation, which provides that Medicare will pay for voluntary discussions between patients and their doctors regarding the kind of care the patient wants to receive at the end of life. Living wills, medical proxies and Hospice are among the many helpful topics covered. Medicare does not now pay for such sessions, but will do so if HR3200 passes. Having assisted my parents as they grappled with these questions several years ago, I see this provision as a wonderful gift to patients and families. The next concern for Mr. Doolittle is that federal employees will never have their insurance canceled, whereas the rest of us have no such guarantee. Today, he’s right. Insurance policies are often canceled when cancer or other serious diseases are diagnosed. HR3200 specifically guarantees this will no longer occur.

At the very top of the bill, under General Standards, Section AI-A-111 stipulates that coverage cannot be denied for pre-existing conditions, and Section A-I-A112 states that existing coverage cannot be rescinded for any reason other than fraud. Of all the valuable health care reforms, these two are, to me, the most important. Lastly, Mr. Doolittle frets that “under the House bill, (Senator) Kennedy’s cancer treatment would not be allowed because it costs too much and his cancer was untreatable.” Section A-I-C122, Essential Benefits Package Defined, spells out the minimum standards for coverage that must be guaranteed by every insurance plan; there is no limit as to the coverage a plan can offer above those minimums. In other words, this bill is our guarantee of quality health insurance that can be neither denied nor canceled, no matter whether we are senators, carpenters, ranchers or writers of letters to the editor.

Think about it Let’s say you are in good health, a non-smoker, a normal drinker and eat decently. You drive responsibly with no accidents and an occasional speeding ticket. You live in a nice home in a region that has no hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires and little or no crime. Yet every time your insurance bills come due, you see that they increase it for no reason of yours. You make no claims and they still go up, sometimes by 15 to 20 percent. Are you calling your congressman? Insurance company? No. You know what’s going on? You are subsidizing all those people who live in disaster areas or who smoke and eat horribly or drive dangerously. If this is what you do, then you should not gripe about Cash for Clunkers. It is a subsidy, but it is the only one of these mentioned that is truly a positive move. When three-quarters of a million inefficient cars are removed and replaced by new ones that average 12 mpg more, at an average of 10,000 to 12,000 miles a year,

that’s a hell of a lot of imported oil that is not imported, a hell of a lot of CO2 tonnage not spewed into the air and a few thousand jobs replaced. Yes, most of the cars were Japanese, but they were built in America. If all our subsidies benefited the planet this much, we’d be a lot better off. Think about that the next time you pay an insurance company.

Thanks for asking Kudos to Cari Hermacinski for her City Council re-election advertisement asking for my opinion regarding Steamboat 700 and 360 Village annexation. Her question should scream at the voting population of Steamboat. The annexation question is too big a decision for City Council and a handful of interested parties to make on their own. The decision to expand the city by such magnitude should be made by everyone. I believe in the 51/49 rule. If the issue is put to a vote of the people of Steamboat, we should all respect the outcome. However, I will always be a little suspicious of the decision if it is made by a small group of people, many of whom have a horse in this race. I recommend postponing the Oct. 13 council vote and putting the measure on the November ballot to see where the majority of Steamboat residents vote on the issue, then move accordingly. By the way, I am not in favor of annexation. My reasons are neither important, nor original. But Cari, thanks for asking.

Hoax of a hoax I found Professor William Gray and senior fellow Patrick Michaels’ exposure of the climate change hoax (“Experts dispute crisis,” Aug. 30 Steamboat Pilot & Today) very interesting. Harvard wannabe Gray states things have been getting cooler in the last decade, and Michaels, See Letters, page 5A

As a physician, I think health care reform is essential: First, I think strongly that we need health insurance reform. We have to be concerned about the health of our communities. We need universal coverage for all Americans regardless of pre-existing conditions, employment, residence or where medical care is received. In order for this to work, those who are healthy need to participate in the system just as those who are ill. I also think that we need a mechanism for increasing competition within the insurance market, and so far the public option seems like the best mechanism, either through private enrollment in Medicare and/or Medicaid or a separate plan. How can we afford to cover those 46 million uninsured people? This is what health care reform is really about — the changes we can make in delivery to improve care while putting the lid on the runaway costs that are escalating at an unsustainable rate of more than 9 percent per year. Why change? Our system of health care is actually an inefficient health care system, despite the fact that we spend more on medical care per person than any other country. We deliver very good, high-intensity acute medical care when people get into serious trouble, but we neglect much of the inexpensive and more cost-effective care. How can we move our spending to more effective care? One, we need to make sure that children and young mothers have good preventive care. If young mothers get preventive care at all economic levels, infant mortality and morbidity, which is very costly in both the short and long term, will improve. Two, because our biggest health issues are chronic diseases, we need screening and earlier interventions, and we need far better chronic disease management within the health care system. Three, our system is fragmented both in information sharing and in service coordination. The result is that many parts of the medical system do not operate in the best interests of patients. Doctors order too many tests, too many marginally effective treatments and drugs, and recommend too much surgery. We need incentives and systems to provide more coordinated care that doesn’t lead to duplication. Any changes we implement now will certainly not be perfect and will need continuing adjustments, but by emphasizing early preventive care, chronic disease management and patient-centered care, we can create a framework that will provide improvements in health care before we are all dragged under by the system.

Housing is holistic Affordable, attainable housing is not about anyone’s “right” to live in a ski or beach town. It is not about entitlements. It is about the town itself; the healthy existence of the town and in fact, the ability of the town to exist at all. A town is an organism much like the human body. If a body were made up of a bunch of brains, it wouldn’t survive. It takes other organs, appendages and systems to function. If we want a healthy, functioning town, we had better be

four paragraphs later, says temperatures on Earth are increasing! As the science of climate change (the initial term “global warming” was indeed misleading) evolves, there is major concern not for “increases in vegetation across the world,” but for major shifts in climate. We first-worlders may be able to adapt, but there are many millions of people who may be exposed to negative changes in locally viable agriculture who cannot head to more hospitable terrain or order some rain gear online as the their local climate gets wetter. I guess I wasn’t really tuned into the argument that there will be many more heatrelated deaths since Michaels is correct; by then the billions of folks without air conditioning will certainly have that option available — just like in Tampa, duh! Do the nonbelievers seriously argue that the peoples of the world can dump this much carbon emissions into the atmosphere without any affect? As John Muir wisely said, “When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.” In December of 2008, Professor Gray predicted

“a somewhat above-average Atlantic basin tropical cyclone season in 2009.We anticipate an above-average probability of United States major hurricane landfall,” which he revised a few weeks ago (in the middle of the hurricane season) to a “below-average” chance for both. This is not to criticize Dr. Gray, but to point out that climate science is still in its infancy, and Michaels is arrogant when he asserts “check the facts and you’ll win the argument.” I can just see the headlines in the Pilot in 2209: “Earth passes climate tipping point.” “Life on Earth doomed.” “Gray claims he forgot he was working in Celsius, not Fahrenheit, in 2009.” “Tells followers: ‘Sorry, my bad. Maybe they’re right (I mean, correct, we know they’re right),’” and “Climate change is just something that happens which we don’t and, more ominously, can’t affect.” But see, here’s the thing. Let’s say we (very generously) allow that 25 percent of the knowledgeable scientists of the world agree with Gray and Michaels. That implies there’s a 3-to-1 chance there will be potentially catastrophic change to our planet if the other 75 percent are correct. With those kind of odds, I’d vote for trying to do

sions are that global climate change is real, most likely human caused, and could have catastrophic impacts on society unless action is taken. Six such institutions are not committal. Importantly, since 2007, no remaining scientific body with national or international standing has rejected these basic findings. For anyone interested in reading these statements, the information and links can be found at http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Scientific_opinion _on_climate_change. I recognize that Wikipedia is not thought of as a reliable information source, but in this case, all Wikipedia did was to collect and publish these various opinions along with their links. So, to believe that climate change is one big hoax as postulated by William Gray at the Freedom Conference last week, one would have to believe in the existence of a worldwide conspiracy perpetrated on virtually all of the recognized scientific and technical institutions that have standing and expertise in these matters. This would be a conspiracy of gargantuan proportions, sort of like any episode of the X Files you ever saw times a million.

whatever we can to solve this global problem and, in all future elections, you should, too. Blog shield deployed, fire away.

The issue of global climate change is no exception.

This H1N1 flu strain has been around for a while without mutating into anything special. It has shown no greater than normal virulence and so far has a very high survival rate. In fact until this era of crying wolf at everything, they didn’t even build a vaccine for it. I don’t recommend getting the flu to test, but normal precautions should minimize the spread. The only danger I see is that our government is trying to create another crisis and another attempt at a power grab.

LAURA ELIZABETH DAVIS

MARTY ALEXANDROFF

1950 — 2009

1942 — 2009 Routt County lost a dynamic friend of historic preservation and the arts when Martha Ann “Marty” Alexandroff died Aug. 30, 2009, at the Swedish Medical Center in Englewood after battling the rare vascular disease Wegener’s Granulomatosis for several months. Her beloved family was at her side. Born in 1942 in Wauwatosa, Wis., Marty moved to Colorado in the early 1980s. She graduated from Metropolitan State College in 1990 with a degree in technical communications, and received a Master of Arts degree in historic preservation from Regis University in 1994. Marty made Routt County her home for nearly a decade during the 1990s. While here, Marty worked for the city of Steamboat Springs as secretary for City Manager Harvey Rose, and as city clerk for several years. She was the director of the Tread of Pioneers Museum during the big move and rehabilitation of the Utterback House into the Museum’s Utterback Annex. Marty returned to Denver nearly 10 years ago to work as a historian for CH2MHill and later as an executive assistant at Comcast until she retired in 2007. A tireless volunteer while she lived here, Marty was president of the Steamboat Springs Arts Council, on the board of Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School and Camp, and coordinator of Environment 2000. She was instrumental in the formation of the Routt County Historic Register in 1992 and was a cofounder of the nonprofit organization Historic Routt County. An active trails advocate, Marty served on the Steamboat Springs Trails Committee and organized the dedication of the Yampa River Core Trail. Legendary for her hospitality, whenever a big volunteer project was completed, Marty would gather all the players to celebrate their accomplishments, events that were always memorable. As a preservation specialist, Marty authored many important research documents for rural communities throughout her career, including the 1994 Historic Context of Routt County and the 1996 Historic Property Survey of Downtown

Steamboat Springs. She prepared the successful nominations of the Carpenter Ranch, Perry-Mansfield and the Columbine Gold Camp to the National Register of Historic Places and many nominations to the Routt County Historic Register, including the recently preserved Diamond Window Cabin. After Marty moved to Denver, she continued her work in historic preservation as an advisor/consultant, but she shifted her focus and considerable talents to painting. Her watercolors of Western and Alaska landscapes soon won numerous awards. In 2005, Marty’s first series of paintings of Routt County’s historic buildings were displayed in exhibits throughout the county. Marty intended that the images be used for note cards to sell to benefit Historic Routt County. Marty will be remembered for the boundless energy and enthusiasm with which she approached every aspect of her life. She loved to organize hiking trips with friends and family, and to cook fabulous meals at the drop of a hat. She did so with a selfless grace that ensured the comfort and enjoyment of her guests. In recent summers, Marty took great delight taking trips with her grandchildren to show them Alaska and to spend time with their Uncle John. While her loved ones now engage in a celebration of her life, the absence of her infectious smile has created a void that will be filled only through the passage of time. Marty is survived by her brother, John Alexandroff of Wasilla, Alaska; son Jeff Wheeless, his wife Wilson, and their sons Drake and Duke; daughter Krista, her husband Ken Bedingfield, and their son Logan; and son Craig Wheeless, his wife Erin Rigney, and their children Noah, Riley (the only granddaughter), and Josiah. A celebration of Marty’s life, a “Marty Party,” will take place from 6:30 to 10 p.m. Sept. 12 at the Jefferson County Open Space Nature Center at Boettcher Mansion on Lookout Mountain near Denver. For further information, visit www. caringbridge.org/visit/marty alexandroff.

Laura Elizabeth Davis, 58, of Colby, Kan., died of cancer at Yampa Valley Medical Center in Steamboat Springs on Aug. 29, 2009. Laura was born to Richard Star Davis and Jeanne Turner Davis in Chestertown, Md., on Sept. 11, 1950. After graduating from Chestertown High School, she attended Chesapeake Community College and St. Mary’s College of Maryland. After college, Laura followed her heart to the mountains of Steamboat, where she met and married Chester Wheeler, and later met and married Bob Weiss. Laura always had the best garden in town, and she always came home from county fairs with blue ribbons for her canned goods and baking. While undergoing chemotherapy at M.D. Anderson Hospital, in Houston, Laura knitted scarves for many family members, nurses and other caregivers, and worked on quilts for her sons. Laura was a passionate environmentalist and won a governor’s volunteer of the year award for the work that she did creating a recycling program in Colby.

Laura is survived by her husband, Robert Lee Weiss, and five sons: Matthew Sheridan Wheeler, Edward Canby Wheeler, Zachary William Weiss, Jeffrey Davis Vincent Weiss and Robert John Andrew Weiss. She is survived by her mother, Jeanne Davis; sister, Linda Davis; brother, Richard Davis; and sister-in-law, Cheryl Lewis Davis. Laura leaves behind three grandchildren: Courtney, Kacie Marie and Isaiah. She also leaves behind a niece and three nephews. Laura is survived by a wonderful friend and caregiver, Morgan Lusby, of Houston, and many other good friends. A memorial service is at 2 p.m. Sept. 12 at the Colby Methodist Church in Colby. Laura’s family would like to thank the wonderful caregivers from the Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association and Hospice of Steamboat Springs, and the attending nurses at the Yampa Valley Medical Center. Memorial donations may be made to the VNA and Hospice of Steamboat, 940 Central Park Drive No. 101, Steamboat Springs, CO 80487.

JOHN PATRICK ROGAN II 1943 — 2009

John Patrick Rogan II, 66, beloved brother, husband, father and grandfather, passed away Sept. 2, 2009. John’s passing from acute pancreatitis was sudden and unexpected. John was born April 18, 1943, in Santa Monica, Calif., to John Sr. (Jack) and Mildred (Millie) Rogan. John graduated from Myers Park High School in Charlotte, N.C., and the University of Notre Dame, and achieved a Juris Doctor from UCLA. He married his college sweetheart, Emilee Nazzaro, in 1967, and they settled in Denver, where Caley Kristian was born in 1973. John and his family returned to California to be close to his parents. He pursued commercial real estate until he bought his first Macintosh and launched his desktop publishing company, Alphabet Soup Group. He was a brilliant editor and communicator. Returning to his love of track, John ran 23 marathons over the next several years. Sharon and John met and

fell instantly in love and married in 1991. Their daughter, Keegan, was born three months early in July, 1992. John, Sharon and Keegan moved to Steamboat Springs in 1994. In addition to being an endearing husband, a doting father, an incredibly supportive son to his and Sharon’s families, John was an active member of the community. He was the secretarytreasurer of the Routt County Rifle Club, an avid cross-country skier and snowshoer, a frustrated golfer, a retired bridge player, a dog lover and a genuine outdoor enthusiast. John is survived by his sister, Moreen; his wife, Sharon; his children, Keegan and Caley; Caley’s wife, Jeanine, and their son, Jack; and many extended friends and family. Memorial services will be held at Howelsen Hill at 10 a.m. Monday, Labor Day.

Stalled Wolf Creek ski village could get new life DENVER

A proposed ski village in southwest Colorado that was besieged by lawsuits and then put on hold after federal officials agreed to redo an environmental review could be getting new life. Developers behind the proposed resort at the base of the Wolf Creek ski area are exploring a possible land exchange with the U.S. Forest Service that would steer construction away from wetlands and ski runs. They’re also looking at scaling back the size of the development on the land owned by Texas billionaire Billy Joe “Red” McCombs, co-founder of media giant Clear Channel Communications. Developer Clint Jones of Austin, Texas, is meeting with Colorado elected officials, the Forest Service, environmentalists and area residents to gauge support for some of his ideas, which still need McCombs’ goahead.

Ski boot to be comfy but pricey at $1,295 BOULDER

Skiing is fun. Walking in ski boots back to the lodge, not so much. In mid-September, a company in Boulder will start selling a ski boot it says is so comfortable that skiers accustomed to having their feet clamped into rigid plastic shells will be able to walk around in their boots like snowboarders and maybe even drive. Comfort and convenience come at a price: $1,295. That’s at least a few hundred dollars more than a pair of high-end ski boots. The company hopes to sell 1,200 pairs this season.

Man arrested in shooting near state fairgrounds PUEBLO

A man faces an attempted first-degree murder charge on suspicion of training a laser gun sight on a man then firing two shots as people were leaving the Colorado State Fair. Nineteen-year-old Estephan Amarante Trujillo also faces possession of a controlled substance and possession of a firearm by a previous offender. Pueblo police say officers arrested Trujillo shortly after the shooting on a street near the fairgrounds Aug. 28. A woman leaving the fair told police she noticed the red laser pointed at the head of one of two men walking down the street just before someone opened fire. An arrest affidavit says Trujillo had a .45-caliber pistol and bullets that matched shell casings near the shooting. No phone was listed for Trujillo, and it wasn’t clear whether he had an attorney.

Dems to resist troop increases Senate leaders say focus should be on building Afghan security forces Lolita C. Baldor and Ken Thomas THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

Senate Democrats are signaling that any push by the White House for more troops in Afghanistan probably will run into resistance. Sen. Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said the U.S. must focus more on building Afghan security forces. That view was endorsed by Sen. Jack Reed, who also is on the committee and spent two days in Afghanistan this past week with Levin, D-Mich. Their unease follows a NATO airstrike early Friday on hijacked fuel tankers that killed 70 people. The alliance’s top commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, said Saturday that local villagers were among those wounded in the bombing, a major setback to his goal of curbing airpower to reduce civilian casual-

ties. It is not clear how many of the dead were militants and how many were villagers. Congress returns to work in the week ahead, just as President Barack Obama receives a new military review of Afghanistan strategy. Officials expect it will be followed up by a request for at least a modest increase in U.S. troops battling insurgents in the 8-year-old war. Obama came into office pledging to shift U.S. focus from the war in Iraq to the Afghan fight, which had long been a secondary priority. But as war-weary Americans have watched 21,000 more troops go to Afghanistan this year, and U.S. casualties rise, support for the war has waned. As a result, lawmakers say they want the U.S. to quickly train and equip the Afghan Army and police so the embattled country can take over its security needs. “There are a lot of ways to speed up the numbers and capa-

bilities of the Afghan army and police. They are strongly motivated,” Levin said from Kuwait. “I think that we should pursue that course ... before we consider a further increase in combat forces beyond what’s already been planned to be sent in the months ahead.” Levin said there is a growing consensus on the need to expedite training and equipping the Afghan army to improve security in Afghanistan, where 51 U.S. troops died in August, making it the bloodiest month for American forces since the invasion in 2001. Still, the airstrike comes just as U.S. defense leaders insisted this past week that troops were making great progress. “All I can really do is assure you that they recognize the gravity of these events when they happen and it has the full attention of the leadership,” Defense Department spokesman Bryan Whitman said. Under new orders put in place

Firefighter deaths deemed murder $100K reward offered in California arson investigation Jacob Adelman and Thomas Watkins THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES

Investigators worked aroundthe-clock Friday as they sought to build a murder case stemming from a huge wildfire that claimed the lives of two firefighters. California’s governor offered a $100,000 reward in the arson case. Authorities blocked access to the crime scene, a scorched area of scrub and trees off the side of the Angeles Crest Highway, as they analyzed clues including incendiary material reported to have been found there. Authorities say the fire was arson but still are trying to find a cul-

prit and understand how it was set. “We are going to find out what we can and present it to the DA,” said Los Angeles County sheriff’s Lt. Liam Gallagher, who is heading the homicide probe and whose investigators worked through the night into Friday. “We are considering it a murder investigation.” Gallagher said as many as 14 investigators would be on hand to help with the probe during the weekend. “We are in the early stages, just beginning to put things together,” he said. “Firefighters losing their lives in the line of duty is an added incentive, but we work every case to the fullest.” The fire has burned through

241 square miles of the Angeles National Forest. More than 70 homes have been destroyed. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever set the blaze. The figure is the maximum the chief executive can offer under California law. Also Friday, authorities said that several firefighters were exposed to cyanide gas in two separate incidents as they were mopping up hot spots near the small city of Acton on the northern edge of the massive blaze. Deputy Incident Commander Carlton Joseph said four firefighters developed respiratory problems on Tuesday and one was still hospitalized on Friday.

by McChrystal in July to reduce civilian casualties, U.S. and NATO forces were directed to limit air support to ground troops when civilians might be present. In a call with reporters Friday, Reed, D-R.I., said the U.S. must use a multi-pronged approach to win the war in Afghanistan. The U.S., he said, must build up the Afghan Army, send more civilians to Afghanistan to provide economic and political assistance, and reach out to Taliban supporters. The hesitancy to boost troops levels comes just days after Obama’s defense chief suggested a willingness to consider an increase. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has urged patience with the war effort, and said he would be comfortable with a larger U.S. military presence in Afghanistan as long as the increase reassured the country’s citizens that the Americans were there for the benefit of Afghans.

Amount of vaccine available globally is constantly changing, VNA spokeswoman says Swine flu continued from 1A talking this summer and encouraging department heads to consider … an absenteeism level of 30 to 40 percent,” Struble said. The county already has many plans in place because of the bird flu scare in 2005-06. The VNA has been practicing mass vaccination during seasonal flu shot clinics in Routt, Moffat and Grand counties by vaccinating large numbers of people at single clinics and using reserve nurses. The amount of vaccine available globally is a constantly changing number, Mariano said, making it difficult to estimate how much will come to Routt County. She said she expects to see at least some H1N1 vaccine available by October. Last week, when Colorado Mountain College’s Alpine Campus in Steamboat Springs announced four students were being treated for the flu — from an unknown strain, not necessarily H1N1 — Dean of Student Affairs Brian Hoza said a seasonal flu vaccine should be

available for students Sept. 15. Mariano said H1N1 vaccines will be made available first to pregnant women and very young children. Unlike other types of seasonal flu, the H1N1 virus appears to affect the young much more than the elderly.

Travel impacts Struble and Mariano said the high number of tourists and visitors to Routt County during peak flu season likely won’t affect the rate of infection or outbreak any more than most cities. “Granted, we have a lot of tourists flying in and out, and coming from all parts of the world, but I think that’s the situation the world is in now. I don’t think we’re unique with that,” Struble said. Even so, with the large number of people passing through Yampa Valley Regional Airport — about 280,000 arrivals and departures per year — airport manager Dave Ruppel said the airport is taking extra precautions to keep visitors safe.

At a glance

8 things you need to know about swine flu

Since it first emerged in April, the global swine flu epidemic has sickened more than 1 million Americans and killed about 500. It’s also spread around the world, infecting tens of thousands and killing nearly 2,000. This summer, the virus has been surprisingly tenacious in the U.S., refusing to fade away as flu viruses usually do. And health officials predict a surge of cases this fall, perhaps very soon as schools reopen. A White House report from an expert panel suggests that from 30 percent to half the population could catch swine flu during the course of this pandemic and that from 30,000 to 90,000 could die. — The Associated Press

“There’s more emphasis in particular in making sure (employees) are aware of the basic health and cleanliness procedures as far as washing their hands and being sure not to cough on people,” Ruppel said. The regular cleaning regimen also will include more wipe-downs of door handles. During the summer, the airport employs 15 people, not including staff from the airlines. In the winter, that number

1. No cause for panic. So far, swine flu isn’t much more threatening than regular seasonal flu. Still, more people are susceptible to swine flu and U.S. health officials are worried because it hung in so firmly here during the summer — a time of year the flu usually goes away. 2. Virus tougher on some. Swine flu is more of a threat to certain groups — children younger than 2, pregnant women, people with health problems such as asthma, diabetes and heart disease. Teens and young adults are also more vulnerable to swine flu. 3. Get the kids vaccinated. These groups should be first in line for swine flu shots: people 6 months to 24 years old, pregnant women, health care workers.

increases to 36. Ruppel said the airport will use more overtime and call in backup workers if there is a significant flu outbreak that keeps employees home. “For some of the most critical jobs we have a pool of part-time employees that we can turn to,” he said.

4. Vaccines are being tested. Health officials presume the swine flu vaccine is safe and effective, but they’re testing it to make sure. 5. Get your shots early. Millions of swine flu shots should be available by October. If you are in one of the priority groups, try to get your shot as

early as possible. Check with your doctor or local or state health department about where to do this. 6. Immunity takes awhile. Even those first in line for shots won’t have immunity until around Thanksgiving. That’s because it’s likely to take two shots, given three weeks apart, to provide protection. And it takes a week or two after the last shot for the vaccine to take full effect. 7. Help! Surrounded by swine flu. If an outbreak of swine flu hits your area before you’re vaccinated, be extra cautious. Stay away from public gathering places like malls, sports events and churches. Keep washing those hands and keep your hands away from your eyes, nose and mouth. 8. What if you get sick? If you have other health problems or are pregnant and develop flu-like symptoms, call your doctor right away. You may be prescribed Tamiflu or Relenza. These drugs can reduce the severity of swine flu if taken right after symptoms start. Most people, though, should just stay home and rest. — The Associated Press

Eight-year-old Brooks Birkinbine, of Steamboat Springs, smiles as his mother, Betsy, takes a picture of him in the nose of the World War II-era North American B-25 Mitchell Bomber.

Planes, helicopter offer rides for a fee Air Fest continued from 1A sense of freedom, no fear,” Alexander said. While she was in the air, Huff told her about his eight children and his desire to keep flying to age 100. Huff is a member of the Commemorative Air Force, a group that sponsors WWII planes to keep them in the air. He flew commercially for 38 years and started flying the Cub about seven years ago. The Army used the plane largely for training and as an artillery spotter during war.

Huff, a lean fellow in a green flight suit, told the story of a Korean War veteran who remembered serving in a Cub. The vet went up with Huff. “The last time he’d been in the airplane was when he was sitting on a parachute as an artillery spotter,” Huff said. The Cubs flew slowly, only about 60 miles per hour, and low to the ground. The occupants weren’t high enough to make much use of a parachute if the plane did get shot down. “They sat on a parachute so if someone did take a pot shot up through the airplane,

hopefully it wouldn’t get ’em in the tail,” Huff said, laughing as he called the parachutes “preKevlar tail cover.” Huff took several passengers up Saturday and will continue today. Other WWII planes, a helicopter and modern planes also offer rides at the Air Fest for a fee. The costs range from $50 a person for the Piper and the chopper to more than $300 for larger vintage planes. Fees go toward maintaining the planes. The festival also includes vintage cars, a talk by Maj. Gen. Patrick Halloran, children’s activities and radio-controlled aircraft. As the first day of the event came to a close, Carol and Charlie Huff moved the Piper Cub into position for one last ride. “Switches on?” Charlie asked. “Switches on,” his wife replied. “Contact?” he asked. “Contact,” she replied. Carol stepped away as Charlie spun the propeller and boarded. He taxied to the runway, watching for other planes, and took off over the Yampa Valley. An easy spin through the heat of the afternoon ended all too quickly. Huff piloted back, landing the Cub with a few soft skips. “Oh,” he said happily, “that was a nice one.” — To reach Blythe Terrell, call 871-4234 or e-mail bterrell@steamboatpilot.com

Hayden projects its enrollment to decline for next 2 years Enrollment continued from 1A year. It’s the seventh year in a row the district’s enrollment has increased. The official student count will occur Oct. 1. That count determines the amount of per-pupil spending the district receives from the state. Because of larger incoming first- and sixth-grade classes, the district hired two additional teachers, one for each grade. Steamboat had some students who transferred from local private schools, and Superintendent Shalee Cunningham has said the surge in enrollment in lower grade levels indicated more young families moving to the area.

Reasons for the rise Steve Hofman, a Steamboat resident who served as an assistant secretary of labor under President George H.W. Bush and is a former director of research and policy for the Republican leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives, gave four possible reasons for the school enrollment increase. ■ A down economy has a disproportionate impact on the transient or younger work force, who move to Steamboat for a year or two and don’t establish roots in the community. ■ Some members of the city’s work force who would impact school enrollment numbers, such as those in construction fields, may live outside of Steamboat. ■ Parents aren’t putting their children in the area’s private schools or have removed them in favor of public schools. ■ And the timing of the recession in Steamboat is six months to a year behind the rest of the country and people who are hanging tough, waiting for the economy to bounce back,

haven’t felt its effects as fully or deeply. But Hofman added a caveat. “If similar trends we’ve seen continue through the winter, with less construction and less jobs, we may see people and families leave,” he said.

Impacts on private schools Enrollment at local private institutions, The Lowell Whiteman School (grades 9 to 12) and Christian Heritage School (grades K to 12), are down this year. Lowell Whiteman saw its enrollment decrease by 16 students this year, said Walt Daub, director of the school. But Daub said that was mostly attributed to the school’s record graduating class last year of 32 being replaced by this year’s freshman class of 18. He said only two students who were eligible to return this year didn’t. Daub added that the amount of financial aid provided to students was up 30 percent this year. He said the school is giving financial aid to 36 percent of its 80 students, up 6 percent from last year. “I’m into my 12th year, and this is the most financial aid we’ve awarded since I’ve been here,” he said. He said the school, which costs local students $17,700 and boarding students $32,900 to attend this year, has received inquiries from students and expects to add about five more by October. Christian Heritage — which charges a $6,200 tuition for lower school students (K to 5) and $6,700 for upper school students (6 to 12), with discounts for siblings — saw its enrollment decrease by 10 students this academic year. Administrator Dave Entwistle has said some of those students left because

of economic factors, while the school loses some high schoolage students to Steamboat Springs High School because it has a wider selection of available programs. Enrollment at Lowell Whiteman Primary School, which has a $12,000 per-student tuition this year, has remained steady at 60 students for the past six years, said Nancy Spillane, director of the school. She said they have no room in their existing facility to grow. She said 83 families are in the school’s waiting pool.

Not the same across Routt The South Routt and Hayden school districts haven’t seen the enrollment increases that Steamboat has, but they haven’t exactly dropped off, either. South Routt’s enrollment dipped by two students this year, to 440 from 442 in 200809. Hayden, which begins classes Tuesday, projects its enrollment will decline to 458 students this year from 465 students last year. Hayden also is projecting its enrollment to decline for the next two years, to 444 in 2010 and 433 in 2011. Superintendent Greg Rockhold said last year’s large graduating class of 32 and smaller average class sizes for the next few years were the reasons for the projected declines — not necessarily families leaving Hayden. Rockhold said those numbers are subject to change. “We’ll see what the roller coaster ride will do for us Tuesday,” he said, referring to the start of the school year, which is Tuesday. Rockhold added that unless the bottom falls out and a number of families move out of the district, he only expects their enrollment numbers to decrease slightly in the next few years. Ford added that people fight-

They offer computers, accessories, software and Apple TV. Popular products include iPods, iMacs and the MacBook Pro, Daly said. “The iPod touch is the iPhone minus the phone capabilities,” she said. “We sell quite a few of these here because people have Verizon and want to keep their phone but want to have

Internet capabilities.” Macs traditionally are pricier than their personal computer counterparts. But Apple is pulling down prices, Daly said. A MacBook Pro once sold for $3,500, she said, and the model now starts at about $1,200. MacBooks start at about $1,000. The Mac Ranch’s customer database contains about 1,500 people. Some second-home owners take their computers on vacation to get them fixed at the Ranch, Sessions said.

Other technicians service Macs in the area, he said, but the Mac Ranch’s bricks-and-mortar location offers an advantage. “We’re here, and we’re stable, so they have someplace to come,” Sessions said. They employ four certified technicians and aim to fix customers’ computers within 24 hours. Dave Glantz owns Computer Cures, where he repairs PCs. He sends Mac users to the Mac Ranch for service. “I have had nothing but good responses from the people I’ve sent over there,” Glantz said. “And I kind of wish I could have had a shop downtown. It’s pretty cool that they’ve gotten to open it.” Sessions said the Mac Ranch is growing despite the shrinking economy, he said, making this the perfect time to expand. Daly agreed. “It’s important to stimulate the economy during a recession instead of shying away from risk,” she said. — To reach Blythe Terrell, call 871-4234 or e-mail bterrell@steamboatpilot.com

Ski retailers hope for sales boost in weak economy THE DENVER POST

Purveyors of Colorado’s biggest September ski-equipment sales are hoping a downhill economy won’t leave revenues in a drift. Two economic theories are in play: Sales will be decimated by the weak economy, or budget-conscious shoppers will be looking harder than

ever for bargains. Not surprisingly, store owners hope for the latter. “I’m not going to say that sales will be unbelievable and huge,” said Ken Gart, president of Denver-based Specialty Sports Venture, whose Colorado Ski & Golf stores were scheduled to kick off their Ski Rex sale Saturday. “But I think that if people are going to buy stuff, they realize this is the time to do it, so I’m expecting good volume.” Ironically, customers can benefit from the weak economy, Gart said. That’s because Specialty

Sports has been able to negotiate better-than-usual prices from inventory-saddled manufacturers and suppliers. Those bargains, in turn, are passed on to shoppers, with more products priced at the maximum advertised discount — 70 to 75 percent off — than in previous years, Gart said. “The whole industry has had challenges, and we were able to load up on some good deals,” he said. “People understand the competitive nature of Ski Rex and Sniagrab — I’m not going to pretend our competitor doesn’t exist — and people see it as a buying opportunity.”

Solar gain is name of the game Rare Earthship greens up Steamboat listings

athleen Titus reluctantly has resigned herself to giving up her Earthship in North Routt, which means Realtor Darrin Fryer has a new listing that stands out among the 3,000-plus offerings on the multiple listing STORY BY TOM ROSS service. Green homebuyers who are serious about walking the walk will want to tour Titus’ 1,640-square-foot home built into a low rise atop Willow Creek Pass. It’s roughly halfway between Clark and Steamboat Lake State Park, northwest of Steamboat Springs. Titus, who is a registered architect in Colorado and oversees in-house building projects for TIC in Steamboat Springs, built the house 13 years ago. It owes much of its energy efficiency to its walls made of about 3,000 automobile tires and countless aluminum cans packed with clay soil from the site and painstakingly coated with adobe on the interior walls. The exterior walls are finished with more durable stucco. The two-bedroom, one-bath home, with flower gardens inside and out, just came on the market for $359,000. Earthships are a type of ener-

gy efficient home first developed by Michael Reynolds near Taos, N.M. Their essential characteristics include maximizing passive solar energy gain. They are typically bermed or built into a hillside to also take advantage of the heat stored in the earth. The building materials lend themselves to curvilinear interior walls, described in the Earthship lingo as “U’s,” Titus said. Titus said the walls, built by stacking tires flat like overlapping bricks, pull heat from the earth and typically remain at 55

degrees even in winter. Her home is not off the grid — Yampa Valley Electric Association serves the Willow Creek Pass neighborhood, and Titus has a propane tank for heat. However, on a sunny winter day, two large windows that face southeast and are banked at 45 degrees gather impressive amounts of passive solar heat. She spends about $1,600 a year on propane, and her monthly electric bill is about $40. Titus said it was built to accommodate installation of solar panels.

In addition to relying heavily on solar heat, she spent extra money to install a nontoxic membrane on her flat roof, which allows her to collect rain and snowmelt in twin underground 1,500 gallon tanks. She pumps the found water to irrigate her vegetable and flower gardens. Even at 8,000 feet, she grows potatoes, broccoli, raspberries and garlic, among other plants. The subdivision, which includes 130 dwellings, is part of the Steamboat Lake Water and Sanitation District, which

plans to bring an additional well on line this summer that will afford ample supply to a buildout of about 300 houses. Titus just happens to be president of the board of the water district. Current taxes for water and sewer are $1,200 a year.

Wrenn and Mary Blalock are children of the South, but Wrenn Blalock has had a longstanding cowboy fantasy, and Mary Blalock is right behind him. Now, the couple from Tybee Island, Ga., plans to spend six months of every year at their new home at Marabou Ranch, just west of Steamboat Springs. “I always wanted to live on a ranch,” Wrenn Blalock said, “but I couldn’t afford it. Now, I can share it with 62 other owners. I’m going to go move cattle with Chad (Bedell) tomorrow. Me and my wife like the wild West.”

Mary Blalock said she’s having fun making the transition from beaches to the Rocky Mountains. “I’ve been on the sand my whole life. The first half of my life, I was a surfer girl,” she said. “Now I want to be a cowgirl.” Wrenn Blalock is so enthused that there was a brief time when he contemplated acquiring his own horse. “I told (Bedell), ‘I think I’m going to get my own horse.’ He said, ‘Wrenn, you don’t want your own horse.’ I’ve decided he was probably right,” he said. The Blalocks are among the original investors in the ranch preservation subdivision that sprawls across 1,700 acres. And

theirs is the first single-family home to be completed. They hosted an open house for fellow Georgians in their home overlooking Sleeping Giant on Aug. 28. Wrenn Blalock is a developer in Savannah, Ga. He displayed an excellent sense of timing there several years ago when he developed a number of large industrial warehouses just as the Port of Savannah was receiving rapidly growing interest from shipping companies eager to locate a portal for receiving goods from Asia on the Eastern Seaboard. “I developed 10 million See Marabou, page 2B

Titus was her own general contractor during building Earthship continued from 1B Titus’ home — a young couple that sincerely aspires to green living or a couple of empty nesters looking for a weekend getaway place that makes a great topic of conversation over dinner and wine, as well as being something to take pride in. “There is a whole community of people, and there are databases of people interested in this sort of thing,” Fryer said. “It’s a really unique opportunity. It could be a young couple or single person who are very much environmentalists and

seek the satisfaction of getting a home that meets their beliefs.” The interior of the home is inviting with its sinuous walls, umber-colored adobe and cobalt blue tiles serving in place of baseboard. A skylight over the living room couch admits a shaft of light but also is a critical piece of the ventilation plan for every Earthship. Titus served as her own general contractor when her Earthship was built in 1996. She relied on an expert Earthship framing crew and a specialized engineer who could calculate the integ-

rity of the tire walls. However, she did much of the hard work herself, packing clay mixed with sand between the tire voids and applying the adobe in coats of one-quarter inch at a time. TIC allowed her to collect her 3,000 15-inch tires in its yard on Elk River Road, and her boss, John Roos, allowed her to burn seven weeks of vacation time, three hours at a time. That allowed her to leave work early every day to touch base with her subs, then work until 10 p.m. before commuting to the home she was living in, in South Routt. So, it will be tough to give

up the Earthship, but Titus and her boyfriend are making other plans as they anticipate retirement, and she’s coming to terms with the prospect of abandoning ship. “I really do have an emotional connection to it,” she said. “When you’re outside, you can hear the aspens moving, and you can hear the wind in the pines.” But the best experience the Earthship has to offer just might be falling asleep in front of its steeply angled bank of windows. “I’ll tell you what, the night skies here — it’s like camping out,” Titus said.

Blalocks’ 4,400-square-foot home spacious, not overwhelming Marabou continued from 1B square feet of warehouses and then sold it to Duke Realty,” Wrenn Blalock said. Bizjournals.com reported that Duke purchased 18 buildings comprising 5 million square feet in January 2006, with an agreement to purchase more buildings that Wrenn Blalock and

his partners planned to build on adjacent land. A news release issued by Duke confirmed the transaction and noted that many of the warehouses were leased with an aggregate average term of 7 1/2 years. The news release also described Savannah as the fastestgrowing port in the U.S. for the preceding 12 years.

Well-worn style Tybee Island is known as Savannah’s beach and, like Steamboat, is a resort town. It’s also a critical nesting area for endangered loggerhead and leatherback turtles. Now that they have moved into their new home in Marabou, the Blalocks plan to reside there for six months in the spring, summer and fall. Mary Blalock said among the things she loves most about Steamboat is its relaxed lifestyle. “I like being able to go to a workout and then shop at Romick’s (Into the West) without having to change out of my workout pants,” she said. “I don’t want to impress anyone, and at my age, I couldn’t impress anyone.” When the Blalocks set out to plan their home at Marabou, they turned to Brooks Design/ Build of Steamboat, interior designer Jane Coslick, and builder Cary Hamilton, of Hamilton Construction of Steamboat. Hamilton said his goal was to create a home that evoked an older ranch house that had been brought up to contemporary standards. “I wanted to make it look like

an old ranch house that had been spruced up,” Hamilton said.” The Blalock home is not a log house in the typical sense, but the exterior siding incorporates extensive use of native logs to achieve the desired effect. Instead of relying on standing dead trees that had died recently from beetle kill and peeling the bark from them, Hamilton chose to use standing dead trees that already had shed their bark. That choice gives the exterior of the home the patina of age.

Personal touches Coslick, who has gained notoriety for her classic beach homes and cottages in Coastal Living magazine, has worked with the Blalocks before. Her color palate typically trends to a bright Caribbean palette set off by large expanses of wood that has been painted white. But Coslick tackled an entirely new vernacular with the Blalocks’ ranch home. The Blalocks deliberately set out to build a smaller home than one might expect to see on a multi-million-dollar estate lot. The 4,400-square-foot home is spacious but not overwhelming. “It’s just what we wanted. And the cabins at Marabou make it a bigger house than it really is,” Wrenn Blalock said. “When friends and relatives come to visit, they can stay in one of the cabins.” Wrenn Blalock is pleased with his den, or “man cave,” near the foyer and loves to show off a small apartment above the garage that the family calls “Janie’s Room,” because Coslick gave it a personal touch. The standout pieces in the room are a fireengine-red refrigerator and stove. The chrome on the stove is so bright it evokes a 1950s jukebox. There’s Italian marble in the master bathroom, but the standout feature in the entire house may be the use of Mexican oak harvested from old trees in Arizona, where they died of natural causes. Slabs of dark-colored oak are installed on the kitchen island and over the fireplace in place of stone. Mary Blalock said her family felt tremendous warmth from people in Steamboat from the first visit. However, nothing quite prepared them for the emotions they felt the first time they saw their son Edward, 21, skiing down a trail here. Edward uses a wheelchair and has been unable to speak since suffering a stroke as a boy. But the expression on his face while participating in the adaptive skiing program at Steamboat Ski Area, with guides on either flank, spoke volumes. “We just burst into tears when we saw the joy on his face,” Mary Blalock said.

VAIL

Some Vail Town Council members think negotiating a redevelopment of the Lionshead parking structure shouldn’t happen until Vail Resorts lifts its deed restriction on the property — a deal Vail Resorts says is already inevitable. The town of Vail sent Vail Resorts Development Co. a letter eight months ago telling the company its Ever Vail project, an 11-acre, $1 billion project just west of Lionshead, wouldn’t get the subdivision approval it needs until the company lifts the Lionshead parking garage deed restriction. Ever Vail includes employee housing, a new gondola, a hotel, condominiums, underground parking and a transportation center, among other things. “We have stated our intent to lift (the deed restriction),” said Kristin Williams, Vail Resorts Development Company spokeswoman. The company is scheduled to meet with the Vail Town Council

at a Sept. 15 work session, but that meeting is just an update of where the project and reapplication for the project are at this point, she said. The reapplication should come in November, meaning that between now and November the company would work with town staff on all of the different conditions of approval for the Ever Vail project, including the deed restriction. The Vail Town Council voted Tuesday to allow a Texas developer to continue negotiations with the town over redeveloping the Lionshead parking garage into a complex that could include a conference center, shops, condos and a luxury hotel. There can’t be any redevelopment of the site until Vail Resorts releases the restriction. “I don’t think we should be negotiating with anybody until that deed restriction is lifted,” Mayor Dick Cleveland said. Vail Town Manager Stan Zemler said if Vail Resorts Development Co. is prepared to lift the deed, the town is ready to know when and under what circumstances. He said the town stands by its position that

Ever Vail doesn’t get approved until the restriction is lifted. Williams said the company still has to work out conditions like how and when construction of Ever Vail would be phased, how many parking spaces the project would provide and other details of the application and project. The company is waiting on several reports from consultants about the project’s economic impact on the town, and retail and marketing for the project, Williams said. Those reports won’t be available until October and will be part of company’s application in November. The Sept. 15 meeting will update the town council on a two-day meeting between Vail Resorts Development Company and town staff that happened in late July. Town staff gave the company feedback on the project — feedback that will help the company revise its original application, Williams said. “The public (and the town council) will really start to see how the revised plans reflect their input,” Williams said.

Ed Binkley has designed many costly mansions in his day, including a concept home for Tiger Woods. Now he is turning his attention to homes that are small but comfortable, affordable and green. As the McMansion boom goes bust, “the focus is moving toward high-density, singlefamily houses on small lots,” said Binkley, an architect who recently left BSB Design in Orlando, Fla., to launch his own company, Ed Binkley Design, in Oviedo, Fla. The plans and sketches on the drawing board in his home office show cottages and duplexes in a variety of architectural styles. The designs in his Shelter Series range in size from 600 square feet to a little more than 900 square feet. Each features flexible spaces that can be used for cooking, eating, living and sleeping. Four units could be fitted onto a 70-by-120-foot lot, he said. This fall, he plans to build his first model home, in a partnership with Kimmel Lumber, in Venice, Fla. He estimates the cost will be a modest $50 per square foot, or about $24,000

numbered SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) and pre-colored fiber-cement Hardie Siding, the houses can be assembled rapidly on-site, producing little waste. And the panelized system easily can be expanded in eightfoot increments. The houses would be energy-efficient “because they’re so tight,” he said. The 8-inch-thick roof panels would have an R-36 value, compared with the industry requirement of R-19. (The R-value is a measure of a material’s heatconductivity. The higher the value, the better the insulation.) Combine that with insulated walls and low-E windows, and you’ve got a “sealed system,” he said. The small size would eliminate the need for much airconditioning duct work. Most electrical conduits would be external. And solar or pointof-service hot water could be an option. For more details, go to Binkley’s Web site, edbinkleydesign.com. For homes like these to be built, “We need more flexibility with zoning laws. Governments need to release some regulations to make building quicker and easier,” said Binkley. “Then all I’d need is the nerve to just do it.”

for the smallest design. He also is meeting with builders and developers, with an eye to erecting models in Sarasota and Sanford. “I picture them incorporating parking for a Smart Car and Ikea-type fixtures,” he said. Binkley envisions his compact houses in a variety of settings, including on urban in-fill sites and suburban cul-de-sacs. The units also could serve as graduatestudent housing on college campuses or as backyard guest houses or resort- area cabins, he said. Or as first homes for newlyweds, retirement homes for empty-nesters or relief housing for victims of natural disasters such as hurricanes. “I’ve long been interested in smaller, affordable housing,” said Binkley, who won a national competition for a Habitat for Humanity house he designed in Yonkers, N.Y., in 1998. “How small can a space be and still be flexible and livable? It has a lot to do with volume and light. I’ve created sloped ceilings to add volume, and big windows for light.” He admits the lack of storage space might be a turn-off to some people: “But the less storage, the less stuff. We all have too much stuff.” Created from pre-cut and

THE DENVER POST

Colorado State senior cornerback Nick Oppenneer will confront Colorado senior fullback Jake Behrens today. It might first happen on a pass play, with Behrens lining up as a receiver. Or, it could be when Behrens is blocking for CU’s tailbackby-committee. Regardless, they won’t have the time or the desire to compare notes about the college football experience. Oppenneer won’t ask Behrens how he will manage to leave CU next spring with a bachelor’s degree in finance and a master’s degree in accounting. Behrens won’t ask Oppenneer about the circuitous route he took from Columbine High School to the CSU starting lineup and the patience and determination it required. The Rams cornerback and the Buffaloes fullback are typical yet exceptional in a college football landscape that is often dominated by the media’s focus on highsalaried coaches or Heisman Trophy watches or troublemakers. At CU this fall, Behrens is taking three graduate school courses. He will simultaneously finish his undergraduate and graduate work in May. “The hardest part is going home when you’re mentally and physically exhausted from football and you have to focus on getting things done for class,” Behrens said recently. “I guess it just makes you more responsible academically. It makes you grow up a little quicker and teaches you about time management.” At CSU, Oppenneer also is an excellent student, majoring in communications and minoring in economics. “I know and respect a lot of kids who have jobs, who work hard and go to school, too,” Oppenneer said after a practice in Fort Collins. “But with the beating your body takes in football, you come home from practice and you want to do nothing more than lay down and kick your feet up and go to sleep. You don’t want to read a book and study. But I think it comes down to that if you want it bad enough, you can do it.” Behrens and Oppenneer encounter fellow students who have bought into the stereotypes of athletes and are surprised they’re serious and successful in the classroom. That, despite the fact both schools have football lettermen rolls filled with men who went on to be successful in nonathletic endeavors. “I like to see the look on people’s faces when it’s a surprise that I can do both,” Behrens said. “I get a kick out of that attitude more than I’m offended by it because I know it’s wrong, but if I’m helping change that stereotype of the football player in people’s minds, fine.” Oppenneer smiled when he recalled the time a professor divided the class into small groups for a project. “The girls I was with said, ‘Oh, great, we got the football player,’” he said. He laughed and added, “And then I ended up doing a lot of the work.”

Rockies sustain 1-game NL lead Colorado passes Arizona, 4-1 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

Jose Contreras paid immediate dividends for the Colorado Rockies. Acquired on Monday from the Chicago White Sox for minor league pitcher Brandon Hynick, Contreras pitched 6 2/3 solid innings to lead the Rockies to a 4-1 win SATURDAY’S against the AriGAME: zona DiamondRockies 4 backs. D-backs 1 Seth Smith homered and scored three runs and Carlos Gonzalez also homered for Colorado, which maintained its one-game lead against the Giants in the National League wild-card race. Franklin Morales pitched the ninth for his third save in four chances. Brandon Allen homered for the Diamondbacks, who have lost four of their past five. The Rockies traded for Contreras to fill in for the injured Aaron Cook, who is on the disabled list with a right shoulder strain. He proved his value right away and earned his second win in the last two months. Contreras (1-0), mixing his fastball with an effective sinker and slider, kept the Diamondbacks in check into the seventh. He worked out of a two-on, no-out jam in the fourth by striking out Allen on an 85-mph slider and getting Chad Tracy to ground into an inning-ending double play on a 92-mph fastball. In the sixth he struck out Allen on a 77-mph curveball with Justin Upton on second to end the inning. Contreras gave up one run on eight hits, struck out five and walked one in his first National League start. The Rockies gave Contreras an early lead by jumping on Doug Davis (7-12) in the first inning. Gonzalez led off with a homer to dead center, his 10th of the year. Smith followed with a double, went to third when Upton misplayed the ball and scored on Todd Helton’s groundout to first. Brandon Allen cut the lead to 2-1 with a one-out homer in the second, his third of the season. The Rockies got the run back in the fifth when Smith doubled with two outs and scored on Helton’s single to right, just beating the throw home from Upton.

Sailors 2nd in Glenwood tourney The Steamboat Springs High School volleyball team lost a tiebreaker, 19-17, to host Glenwood Springs on Saturday in the championship match of the Demon Invitational Volleyball Tournament. Heartbreaking as the championship loss was, it didn’t take long for the Sailors to realize they had a lot to feel good about their second-place showing. Consider: ■ Steamboat won its pool, topping West Grand, Denver Christian and Grand Junction High without losing a game. ■ The Sailors proved they could win without senior setter Colleen King, who has been battling mononucleosis and sat out half the tournament games. ■ Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the Sailors opened the season with a level of energy that senior middle Devin Wilkinson called the team’s passion. “I think (the tournament) was an incredible experience,” Wilkinson said. “To know that passion and to have that feeling that we can go somewhere with this. Yeah, we lost that last game, but there were such incredible things that happened in that game that made up for any of the losses.” JEFF CASPERSEN/GLENWOOD SPRINGS POST INDEPENDENT Steamboat and Glenwood Steamboat Springs senior Colleen King directs the ball past Glenwood Springs got to the championship match junior Taylor Nicola in Saturday’s Demon Invitational championship match.

by going unbeaten in their pools. The Demons swept through a pool that included Aspen, Nucla and Meeker. Glenwood jumped out to an early lead in the first game, going up 13-11, but a hit by sophomore Maggie Stanford started an 11-0 run by the Sailors. In that run, King served four aces and worked with Wilkinson on a quick set and hit that put the Sailors up, 22-13. Hall rested King in the second game. The Sailors started fine without her and after a big block by Wilkinson, the score was tied at 13. But behind the play of hitter Lexie Warkentin and middle Leah Mansfield, Glenwood went on a 12-4 run to force the tiebreaker game. The championship game was a seesaw affair, with 12 ties throughout.

Soroco volleyball prepares for big season Luke Graham

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Depth and a newfound commitment highlight the opening of the Soroco High School girls volleyball season. Third-year coach Kim Reeves said although the team lacks a lot of upperclassmen, players have been as dedicated to volleyball as any others she’s coached. In addition to having opengym time twice a week during the summer, the team also finished 17th out of 52 teams at a volleyball camp at the University of Northern Colorado.

“Before, it was like, volleyball was fun,” Reeves said. “This group isn’t like that. They want to win. I hope that changes the mentality of the whole volleyball game. We have more indepth offenses and defenses. We can try new things. One of our strengths is they’re very coachable.” After two seasons of playing in the pigtail match to just get into the district tournament, Reeves said expectations are much higher. With the more dedicated offseason, Reeves said the team is much further along than in previous years. See Soroco, page 4C

Soroco High School junior Ceanna Rossi sets the ball during practice Thursday.

Bull Bash continued from 1C up a win in Lancaster (Calif.) a few weeks ago,” Lee said. Organizer Annie Mortensen said Lee and the other 39 riders at this year’s Bull Bash are going to need top rides, and a little luck, to win at the event. “I think this is one of the best fields of riders that we have ever had,” Mortensen said. Mortensen said the field is filled with top riders like Lee, Ryan Brown, Rocky McDonald and Pete Farley. There also will be 62 highquality bulls, to make sure the Steamboat show offers the top cowboys on the Professional Bull Riders’ Challenger Tour a chance to win. The Challenger

Tour is one of four PBR tours, and is just one step below the Built Ford Tough Tour that is home to many of the sport’s top professional bull riders. “All of these cowboys are gearing up to make a run at the finals in October,” Mortensen said. “We get a lot of the top guys on the Built Ford Tough Tour who come here to make sure they have enough money to qualify for the finals.” She added that the winner in Steamboat could take home a $15,000 check if he has a good day. The top cowboy will earn money for winning the event and will be asked to jump on the back of Brass Knuckles, from Priest Creek Bucking Bulls, for a bonus ride.

An eight-second ride on Brass Knuckles will add another $5,000 to the winning cowboy’s total. “He’s been rode one time, in something like 140 tries,” former pro bull rider and Bull Bash organizer Judd Mortensen said. “They scored 92 points on him. I think a lot of cowboys are scared on him — he’s a pretty rank bull.” The gates for today’s Bull Bash open at 3 p.m., and the main event begins at 5 p.m. The PBR event starts with a “long go” event, when all 40 riders get a shot. The top 10 riders advance to the “short go” and a chance to win the title. Tickets are on sale at F.M. Light & Sons, the Steamboat

Moots Road Race begins at 8 a.m. today Stage Race continued from 1C “I’m here by myself and I have no teammates,” Day said. “There are a few other guys that could take advantage of the right type of tactics against me. I just realized (Saturday) was a short enough race to hit it hard pretty early and do that all the way to the finish. People are either going to hack it or not.” Steamboat’s Barkley Robinson was the top local finisher, in sixth, with a time of 2:07:13. Robinson, who has dominated local mountain bike races the past three years, said it was good to get back on a road bike and compete. Robinson hadn’t competed in a road race in more than three years. Steamboat’s Ian Prichard finished 34th in a time of 2:22:19 Robinson was with the lead pack chasing Day for nine laps, before falling slightly back. “It feels good. It’s fun,” Robinson said. “It’s the first

road race I’ve done in a while. It’s quite a bit different than mountain biking. Road biking has those short and intense efforts over the climbs.” It wasn’t all about winning Saturday. A group of a dozen or so students from the Rite of Passage school made the trip to Steamboat Springs to compete. The Rite of Passage school is a youth correctional facility in Denver. The school has classes, treatment programs and sports to help get troubled youths on the right path. “It helped me not give up so easy on myself,” said Alexander, a 16-year-old who has been cycling for more than a year. School rules prohibit publication of full names. “It’s taught me a lot about myself and pushing myself to the limit.” Other men’s winners Saturday included Mike Meyer in the 55plus, 65-plus division; Mitch Westall in the 3 35-plus, 45-plus;

Paul Rapinz in the 4 35-plus, 45plus; Zane Godby in category 4 division; and Todd Neumarker in the category 4 division. Louise Amelburu leads in the women’s 45-plus division; Flora Duffy leads the 4 45-plus, 55-plus division; and Marilyn McDonald leads in the 1-2, 3 35-plus division. Race action continues today with a Moots Road Race. Toplevel divisions begin at 8 a.m. and feature 70 miles on a Tshaped course with 3,800 vertical feet of climbing. The course goes to Yampa Valley Regional Airport and then to Oak Creek and back on Routt County Road 33. Other categories begin at noon and ride 55 miles to the end of C.R. 27 and back.

Roddick upset by Isner at US Open THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TENNIS NEW YORK

Andy Roddick’s U.S. Open is over much sooner than he expected. Coming off a close-as-couldbe loss in the Wimbledon final, Roddick came to Flushing Meadows with a rebuilt game and some serious self-belief. Running into strong-serving, 6foot-9 American John Isner in the third round proved to be too

much to handle. The 55th-ranked Isner smacked 38 aces to beat the No. 5-seeded Roddick 7-6 (3), 6-3, 3-6, 5-7, 7-6 (5) Saturday. It’s the first time Isner has reached the fourth round at a Grand Slam tournament. Roddick, in contrast, won the 2003 U.S. Open and has been the runner-up at a major four

times, most recently at the All England Club in July. “It’s tough. I mean, I don’t know if I’ve come to a tournament with as much confidence — into a Slam — as I did with this tournament,” Roddick said. “Leaving earlier than I want to.” His loss marked the first significant upset of Week 1 of the men’s tournament: The men seeded No. 1 through No. 16 were 38-0 before Roddick and Isner stepped on court. Perhaps what bothered Roddick the most was that he played quite well Saturday. He broke Isner’s serve twice and was only broken once himself. His groundstrokes were clean, with only 20 unforced errors — 32 fewer than Isner. And then there was this little detail: Roddick won 162 points, Isner 155. But Isner came through in the tiebreakers. “I mean, there’s a lot that’s out of your hands with the way he plays. I said it before: You can’t really teach 6-9, especially coming down on a serve,”

Roddick said. “You try to fight it off as much as you can. Sometimes you can, and sometimes it’s completely out of your hands.” How did Isner fare so well in such pressure-packed situations? Particularly against a player, in Roddick, who tends to be as good as it gets in tiebreakers. “Never panicked. If I lose that match, I have nothing to hang my head about. Played well. Maybe a little bit more the pressure’s on him. He’s expected to do so well here,” Isner said. “Nobody expected me to win.” Isner — who led Georgia to the 2007 NCAA team tennis championship — lost in the first round at five consecutive major tournaments until this one. He missed three months this season from mid-April to mid-July with mononucleosis, but Saturday’s victory will push him into the top 50 in the rankings. “I was watching the French Open. I remember how ticked off I was at home,” Isner said. ED BETZ/NEWSDAY “But I think it might have been John Isner celebrates as he plays Andy Roddick during the U.S. Open on Saturday a blessing in disguise.” in Flushing Meadows, N.Y. Isner won the match in five sets, upsetting Roddick.

the Sailors got a kill from hitter Kelsey Butler and a block from Stanford to go up, 1211. Warkentin answered with a hit for Glenwood to tie the game at 12. A huge hit by King gave the Sailors a 1-point lead, but Mansfield answered with a kill for Glenwood to tie the game again at 13. The Sailors twice served to win the match — leading 16-15 and 17-16 — but a service error and a hit by Glenwood’s Taryn Pearce allowed the Demons to tie the game both times. Pearce’s hit was the first of three straight Glenwood points that gave the Demons the title.

“In the last game, I think several unforced errors all added up to it coming down to the wire there at the end,” Hall said. Hall said she was pleased that the team had a chance to win at the end and that part of the team’s development will be learning to close games out when they’re in that position. And overall, Hall said the tournament was a big step forward from where the Sailors were just a week ago. The Sailors don’t play again until Sept. 17 when they travel to Glenwood to face the Demons again in the Western Slope League opener for both teams.

Team ‘willing to work hard’ Soroco continued from 3C Instead of spending the opening weeks of practice focusing on the basics as in years past, Reeves said this season the team was able to focus more on offensive and defensive sets. “Our team goal is to finish at the top half of the league because we haven’t been there in a while,” senior Julia Luciano said. “We’ve sped up our offense a lot. I think that will help us a lot.” During Saturday’s opening tournament at Grand Valley, Reeves saw what her team could be. Soroco beat Telluride in three games before losing to Paonia and Vail Christian. With the early season tournament out of the way, Reeves said she has a better idea about just what type of team the Rams can be. “It raised my expectations,” Reeves said about the tournament. “There were times we could have played harder and more intense. We are going into the next week pushing them hard to pick up the intensity.” Although the program has just three seniors, the youths in the program really have started to change the mentality. The goals are changing, and many think the Rams could finish in the top half of the league. “The goal is for us to stay intense throughout the season

and stay close as a team,” junior Caitlyn Berry said. “Hopefully we can make it to districts.” Although the team has played in the pigtail game the past two seasons, Reeves said she thinks the Rams can finish at least .500 this season and make it to the district tournament without having to play in the pigtail game. “I expect that they’re going to win a lot more matches than we’ve won in the past,” she said. “This is a tough group of girls.

Event had 20 competitors Huck-a-thon continued from 1C “Becky doing a double back flip was absolutely amazing,” said Rob Day, a freestyle coach with the Winter Sports Club and co-organizer of Saturday’s event. “She kept getting after it and killed it. That’s huge for her. It’s absolutely huge.” The event was a fundraiser for the Winter Sports Club. More than 20 competitors showed up to the inaugural event. Competitors got four first-round jumps before

moving on. Day said he anticipates doing the event again next year and for the foreseeable future, based on this year’s success. “It went all right,” he said. “We had about 20 competitors. We were hoping it would be bigger, but that’s not too bad. It was a decent event. Some people came out and hucked themselves.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

Kayak offers a river of relaxing Susan Cocking

MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS

APOPKA, FLA.

You might think it’s a long way from off-road motorcycle racing champion to flatwater kayak guide. But not for Kenny Boyd, of Eustis. About three years ago, Boyd quit racing and working in a motorcycle shop and, with wife Jenny, formed Central Florida Nature Adventures. Trading the roar of a two-cycle engine for the gurgle of a spring-fed stream was not a difficult transition, Boyd said. “I got burned out on it,” he said. “It was time to do something else. I’d much rather go paddling than go to work.” Boyd didn’t make it seem like work when he guided Pat Askren and Kate Lefler and myself on a five-hour paddle along central Florida’s Rock Springs Run to the Wekiva River. Instead, he was eager to make sure we spotted all the flora and fauna along this lush waterway that he could point out. “We try to make it more of an eco-type tour,” he said. “Like a fishing guide service without fishing.” As the four of us paddled downstream in sit-on-top kayaks, Boyd explained that our put-in at King’s Landing is about a mile downstream from Rock Springs Run’s headwaters, a bubbling spring where tubing and snorkeling — but no paddling — is allowed. The current from the spring, he said, would allow us to float much of the way along its 8-mile run, using our paddles mainly for steerage. After we passed a couple of private homes, the banks filled in with dense woods that grew tall enough to create a very shady canopy. And after about 10 minutes of paddling, it seemed like we had left the rest of the world behind — no traffic noise, no other paddlers. Boyd said the reason for the tranquility is that the land on the right bank is Wekiwa Springs State Park and the left bank is the Rock Springs Run Preserve. He noted that Wekiwah is a Creek Indian word meaning “spring of water” or “bubbling water,” and “Wekiva” — the river — is the Creek term for “flowing water.” I always had wondered about the discrepancy between the names of the two connected water bodies as seen on maps; now I understand why. The more we paddled, the denser the woods — enshrouding us in a cool oasis of cypress, palm and oak. Boyd pointed out a limpkin — a mottled brown bird with a long beak — that he said was searching for snails to eat on the bank. But he warned us to avoid brushing up against overhanging palm trees — a favorite site for wasp nests. Passing a couple of the papery nests, we gave them a very wide berth. The spring run was carpeted with lily pads and hyacinth, but other blooms — tall lanceleaf arrowhead and delicate spider lilies — sprang up here and there. Some oaks were draped with bromeliads, and rich, dark-green leather ferns decorated the water’s edge. We all noted the run was partially blocked in several locations by fallen trees uprooted by recent heavy rains. But we never had any trouble paddling around them. Boyd said those tip-ups, or exposed roots, sometimes reveal artifacts from the Timucuans, who once inhabited the area.

Tom Thurston visits with his lead dogs during a stop at the halfway point of a training run on a county road near Oak Creek. Thurston uses the stop to water the dogs and train them for what life will be like on the trail during races like the Iditarod.

A pack of leaders South Routt resident prepares his dogs for 2010 Iditarod

n 180 days, South Routt County resident Tom Thurston will be buttoning up his jacket, battening down his sled and putting dozens of booties on his closest coworkers. After completing his STORY BY first Iditarod ZACH FRIDELL sled dog race across Alaska’s tundra in March, Thurston has decided to re-up. He’s paid the $4,000 entrance fee for the 2010 Iditarod and is learning from fellow mushers as he prepares to make another 1,150-mile journey across the snow and ice. Thurston finished his first Iditarod in 4 days, 3 hours, 36 minutes and 22 seconds, in 44th place out of 52 finishers. With a lot of training, four new dogs and a tweaked training regimen, Thurston said he hopes to finish in the top 30 in 2010. In 2011, he said, he’s gunning for a top-10 finish. To achieve that goal, Thurston wakes up early each morning at his home in the Oak Creek Canyon to a chorus of dogs barking. The dogs, eager to see Thurston and even more eager to run, jump in circles as he walks through the pack, selecting which half of his team will pull his ATV that day. Thurston is training 32 dogs and owns more dogs that stay at his friend’s Grizzle-T Dog and Sled Works kennel. For the early part of the season, Thurston is running the dogs for one day, with two days of rest. Later in the year, closer to the big race, the dogs will be running two days with one day of rest. Thurston selects the 15 or so dogs that he wants to run and steers the bouncing, eager bundles of energy toward their spot in the sled line. The Alaskan Huskies are from a very “tight line” of breeding, with only a few quality racing grandparents, Thurston said. But more

importantly, Thurston’s dogs are personable. “The typical sled dog is aloof and shies away from people,” Thurston said. “I don’t like those dogs. I like the dogs that will lick your face and is happy to see you.” He has even sold some highquality, athletic dogs because they did not have the temperament to fit in with his team, Thurston said. As a result, Thurston gets dozens of face licks as he leans in to fasten each dog onto the line, and in return, each of his dogs gets a nuzzle or a scratch behind the ears. When the dogs are all set, Thurston climbs on the ATV, pops it into second gear, and the dogs drag him away. Sitting next to him is Evan Brill-Kowles, an apprentice and kennel helper from Vermont who signed on to work at Thurston’s kennel. Down the hill next to Thurston’s Oak Creek Canyon home and across the road, the dogs pull the ATV until, at the top of a county road hill, the dogs pause for a gulp of water. Thurston said he has learned all of his training techniques on his own, after years of taking the dogs camping and through trial-and-error as he trained for his first dogsled races. During a recent trip to Alaska, where Thurston bought four new dogs, he also visited eight kennels and learned the training techniques of veteran mushers. “I don’t have a mentor or anything,” Thurston said. “But I found I do things pretty similar to those folks.”

Pep talks and protein He said he will be making some small changes in his schedule this year, including changing the eating times for his dogs to encourage faster meal times on the course.

JOHN F. RUSSELL/STAFF

Thurston, driving the team on the four-wheeler, and employee Evan Brill-Kowles train sled dogs along a county road near Oak Creek. Thurston hopes to have the dogs ready to compete in next year’s Iditarod and several other races.

JOHN F. RUSSELL/STAFF

Thurston checks the paws of his dogs after a training run. Thurston says the inspection is part of his daily routine. It prevents injury and prepares his dogs for the checks during grueling races like the Iditarod.

“I’ve always been a stickler for consistency,” he said, in order to build a closer bond with the dogs. But he found that other mushers change the mealtime for the dogs each day, sometimes feeding them one big meal per day and sometimes several smaller meals. That way the dogs will learn to eat whatever food is put in front of them, a trait that is helpful while racing so the dogs get all the energy they can at each stop. To start the training season, each dog is eating a pound and a half of kibble for vitamins and nutrients and a pound of beef for protein. That will increase as the weather gets colder and the trainings become more intense, Thurston said. After getting a gulp of water,

the team is off again, down the road back to Thurston’s house. After a run up the steep hillside to finish the 5-mile workout, the dogs lie down, as part of their training is to rest when possible. The lead dogs pulled hard and fast, but in the next training session they will be moved to the back of the pack as the dogs are rotated forward — part of Thurston’s strategy of having many lead dogs. He likes his dogs to be bigger — about 60 pounds compared to the average 45 to 50 pounds — in order to have a strong team

with a “higher bottom end” speed even when they’re tired. Thurston checks each of their paws for wear or burrs, earning more affection along the way. Thurston gives his dogs pep talks throughout the workout, reassuring the younger dogs and reinforcing the leaders. “You have to encourage them, set them up for success,” he said. “Tell them they can do it because they can.” After 179 more training days, the dogs will have their chance.

The award winners reflect love for the valley, said Sandy St. Clair, executive director of the Healthcare Foundation for the Yampa Valley. “He was looking at patient care, but he was looking at the care of the overall community, as well,” St. Clair said. Kerst grew up on a cattle ranch in rural eastern Colorado,

Library teen corner hums to life Hayden library used donations for youth-focused area Blythe Terrell

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

HAYDEN

Hayden Public Library’s new teen corner is the product of the sweating and fretting of the people it’s meant to attract. Lysa Valora and Elaine Cromie led efforts to design and create the area tailored to teenagers. Along with library lover Susan Magaw, the teens tore down shelving, created a paint scheme and planned furniture. The result is a vibrant paint

job in blue, orange, green and silver; a tiger-striped rug; colorful but soft lighting; and an array of teen-focused magazines, books and games. Valora and Magaw cut the ribbon at the teen corner Thursday evening. “We spit-balled for like two weeks,” Valora said, referring to the brainstorming process, “and came up with this.” The teen area was unpleasant before the renovation, she said. “It was horrid back here.” Valora and Cromie worked at the library for the summer.

Valora will be a junior at Hayden High School, and Cromie has started her freshman year at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Library Director Ana Lash assigned the project to the pair. Magaw, whom Lash laughingly called a “library groupie,” helped engineer the project. The library paid for the $4,600 renovation with funds donated by the Babson-Carpenter Foundation.

Together to Steamboat Springs about five years ago and will teach classes at 9, 10 and 11 a.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings this fall at Excel Gymnastics in Riverfront Park. She asked South-Woodford — who taught general music at Soda Creek Elementary School, studied music in college, sings and plays piano and guitar — to consider teaching classes in South Routt. “There are just so many young families with young children there, and lots of families have been coming up to Steamboat in the class. It’s such a trek for them in the bad weather,” Wendler said. SouthWoodford’s classes start Sept. 15 and are at 10 and 11 a.m. Tuesdays at the Let’s Dance studio in Oak Creek. “The real goal is to help kids sing in tune and keep a steady beat,” Wendler said about the

program. “I think for Kathy and I both, we just want families to love music with their kids and participate in music with their children, so kids are growing up loving music.” With each session’s tuition, parents get two CDs of children’s songs, a songbook and activity suggestions to use in class and at home. Classes provide a safe environment for parents and children, no matter what their music experience is, South-Woodford said. Michelle Ideus, who has attended Music Together in Steamboat with her 2 1/2-yearold son, Nolan Laird, since he was 3 months old, said she joined the class to meet other parents and children and expose Nolan to music. “Nolan remembers all the songs now and he’s only 2 1/2,” Ideus said. “He sings along in class, and he drums now — he’s quite the gifted little drummer, even. Everything has been great,

he has … a sense of rhythm.” Nolan also sings along with Music Together CDs in the car, Ideus said. “We all know the songs now, and we all sing along. It’s just a great educational tool from the beginning. And who doesn’t love music? I think we all have a connection to music in our lives,” she said. South-Woodford said she hopes to start Music Together classes with her 1-year-old daughter, Kira, soon. The class has worked well for 5-year-old Noah and 3-year-old Liam, who are “always making up songs and improvising,” SouthWoodford said. “Kids learn the language of music, and then they learn to naturally and spontaneously create their own music, which is something I think is cool about Music Together,” she said. “They’re observing, and they’ve (been) watching everyone, else and then they learn to do it themselves.”

If you go Kathy South-Woodford will teach two, 45-minute Music Together classes weekly at the Let’s Dance studio in Oak Creek this fall. Classes are at 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. Tuesdays starting Sept. 15. The fall session is 10 weeks long. Beth Wendler will teach Music Together sessions starting Sept. 16 at 9, 10 and 11 a.m. Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at Excel Gymnastics in Riverfront Park in Steamboat Springs.

Bookman calls emergency care system a major accomplishment Bookman continued from 1D of emergency medicine and chief medical officer at Yampa Valley Medical Center. He and John Kerst are the first winners of the Doc Willett Health Care Heritage Award. Sandy St. Clair, executive director of the Healthcare Foundation for the Yampa Valley, said the two men earned the awards because of their long-term commitment to health care. “It’s one thing to do something for a very short time, but to stay at a task and take the steps they took to establish our health care and make it what it is today, we just want to honor that,” St. Clair said. Bookman attended medical school at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. He did an internship in internal medicine in Richmond, Va. Despite his earlier efforts, Bookman was tapped to go to Vietnam. He served as a flight surgeon in the Navy. That service piqued his inter-

est in emergency medicine. The field was just emerging when Bookman decided to pursue it, and he was accepted into one of the only programs in the country, at Denver General. After he finished there in 1977, a handball tournament took Bookman to Steamboat Springs. He was talked into coming to Steamboat to practice on winter weekends. “It kind of grew from there,” Bookman said. He’s seen and helped emergency care evolve in the Yampa Valley since about 1978. That year, Bookman experienced one of his most challenging cases. A commercial plane crashed during a December snowstorm. Bookman led the medical team during the rescue. Such potential disasters in Steamboat present unusual challenges, he said. “Mass casualties in rural areas are a different breed of cat than in cities where you have unlimited resources, and you’ve got to be a little creative to make it work,” Bookman said.

Twenty of 22 people on board survived. In the 30 years since, Bookman has helped YVMC surge ahead in the extent of emergency care offered, hospital spokeswoman Christine McKelvie said. He’s been involved in building pre-hospital and hospital emergency care programs, McKelvie said. “I don’t think that people who have moved here in the past 15 to 20 years may realize what we started with, with our small-town hospital, Routt Memorial Hospital, and how it has grown over the years,” McKelvie said. “And one of the areas in which we shine is emergency care, and people tell us that, people from all over the world.” The hospital went from a system of various doctors covering the emergency room to seven board-certified emergency medical physicians, she said. Bookman said his biggest accomplishments were helping build the emergency care system

and helping YVMC evolve into a regional care center. “We had to make a decision about the hospital, whether we would just be a hospital for Steamboat Springs, taking care of ski injuries, or whether we would transform this into a regular care center, and that’s what we did,” he said. The work continues, Bookman said. The federal government is trying to pass health care changes that will affect everyone, and YVMC will need a strategy. Bookman will be at the forefront of developing that. “It’s an ongoing process to analyze the needs of the community and try to provide for them,” he said.

each year, and the library saves it, Lash said. “We had talked about doing the project for a long time,” she said. “The library board decided this would be a great way to spend the money.” The decorations include circles containing faint tiger stripes in light and dark orange. The windows are framed in orange,

and several blue rectangles adorn one wall. Those will include artwork by youths, Lash said. The library is running a contest to name the teen corner. Youths can submit names, logos or both. The winner’s artwork will go on display in those blue boxes. The teens debated colors endlessly, Valora said. Magaw helped them run through swatches. “We went through like 40 different color schemes,”

Valora said. Lash handed a gift to Magaw at the ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday. “She worked tirelessly to do this,” Lash said. “I didn’t think it was tireless,” Magaw returned with a grin. “I took lots of breaks.” The women spent weeks painting and putting the bright corner together. Valora said she was pleased with how the corner

turned out. “When it got done, I sat back here for a whole day just looking at it,” she said. “I couldn’t believe it was done.” Michelle Hoza, president of the West Routt Library District Board, said she was impressed. “The other day they had the back lights off and just the lamps on, and I thought, ‘I want to go back there and read,’” Hoza said. “It’s very inviting.”

Schools open; enrollment same as previous year 75 YEARS AGP From the Friday, Sept. 7, 1934, edition of The Steamboat Pilot: The Steamboat schools had a total enrollment of 357 pupils, according to the registration at noon Tuesday. There were a number of additional registrations in both schools the following days. The grade school had 225 pupils registered at noon Tuesday, exactly the same number that registered at the same time last year. The high school registration was 132. This is 15 short of the number registered last year at the same date. There were 40 in the freshman class. The junior class has the least

number of registrations. There has been a change in the school day, the class periods having been lengthened from 1 to 4 in the afternoon. In addition to his duties as superintendent of schools, Henry Zehner is instructor in chemistry and general science. During the entire summer, he attended the University of Colorado, taking courses leading to an M.A. degree. Both school buildings were in splendid condition for the

opening of school. L.C. Fick was employed during the summer in making a thorough renovation and in repairing and painting. All floors in the high school building were repaired and furnished with a coat of seal-on. The halls were painted. All the desks in the assembly room were painted, sanded and varnished. The laboratory equipment was put into good condition. A new incinerator is in the process of construction on the high school grounds. The 1934-35 school year starts in with promise of a successful term. There are four male teachers included in the faculty, three of them in the high school.

Crowd heads to Oak Creek for Labor Day celebration Oak Creek entertained a large number of people on Labor Day who were greatly interested in the program. All crafts of labor were represented. The organized laborers were somewhat surprised to see so many of their friends from the farms and ranches. Many officials representing the coal industry of Routt County were present. About 2,000 people heard John W. Harmon, representative of District 15, and O.F. Nigro, board member and secretary of District 15, U.M.W. of A., who delivered the princiSee Looking Back, page 4D

Kerst helped lead 3 community discussions about hospital standing men to honor this first year,” St. Clair said. Kerst and his wife, Patty, moved to Steamboat Springs in 1988. Kerst became a member of the Routt Memorial Hospital Board, where he worked on the planning process for a new hospital on land along Steamboat Boulevard. Kerst helped work toward compromise, said Christine McKelvie, spokeswoman for Yampa Valley Medical Center. “There was not unanimous agreement in the community about where this hospital would be built, and it was sometimes a prickly process,” she said. Kerst helped lead three community discussions about the

hospital. Each time, he said, board members listened to concerns and suggestions and tried to address them. That’s why YVMC is one story instead of the two originally planned, for example. “At the third meeting, we presented a plan the hospital was comfortable with, the hospital board was comfortable with and the community was comfortable with,” Kerst said. He tried to shrug off some of the credit, directing it instead to other members of the hospital board. Those who served during the planning process in the 1990s were: Jim Ascher, Bookman, Steve Dawes, John Grassby, Drew Hartman, David Lindow, Jane McLeod, Gary Mielke,

Irlan Neas, Betty Patrick, Dean Sandvik, Dr. Dan Smilkstein, Paul Smith, Ed Vanderwall, Dr. Eric Verploeg, Jane Weston, Dr. David Wilkinson and Fred Wolf. Kerst said he was pleased with the hospital that opened its doors Nov. 21, 1999. It’s a top facility that serves the region and has room to expand, he said. Kerst also noted that it’s a nonprofit hospital that isn’t supported by taxes. “We have something we can be very proud of,” he said. Kerst didn’t stop with his contributions to health care. He’s also worked with Strings in the Mountains, the Yampa Valley Community Foundation and the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association. He was a

��

founding member of Ski Town USA Rotary Club. The Chamber named him 2006 Business Leader of the Year, and the community foundation named him 2005 Philanthropist of the Year. Kerst remains active with the Steamboat Springs Pro Rodeo Committee, and he’s the business development officer at Yampa Valley Bank.

It was practically a deadlock pull.

Parallel parking on Lincoln Avenue All cars parking on Lincoln Avenue must be parallel from now on at the request of the state highway department and the town board. All car wheels should be more than 18 inches from the curb when the car is parked. The parallel parking is necessary to avoid accidents when cars are backing out on the street. This form of parking prevails in most cities and towns. Residents are urged to comply with this rule. It is needless to say that cars coming from other places will conform with the custom of the town.
