The meeting was dramatic, at least, with no shortage of emotional pleas and political wrangling. The “angry residents of West Acres Mobile Home Park,” as spokesman Tom Williams introduced himself and his neighbors, came to Centennial Hall to discuss their

opposition to the planned New Victory Highway. Ultimately, City Council directed its attorneys to determine whether its contracts will allow them to freeze the project while members continue to hash out issues. See Council, page 20

Live longer — kiss your wife

just finished reading “The Book of Useless Information,” a quirky little reference book that is oddly uplifting. It is a compendium of facts and figures compiled by The Useless Information Society — a secret society comprised of Britain’s foremost thinkers, writers and artists — which seems like a pretty lofty title for people who sit around coming up with factoids such as these: “Grasshoppers have white blood. Butterflies taste with their hind feet. An armadillo can walk underwater. A scallop has 35 eyes, all blue. A tuna will suffocate if it ever stops swimming.” As far as I can tell the society is comprised of 30 men, five named “John,” which is not really worth noting, which may be how you feel about the rest of the information in this column. For instance, my life has not suffered or been impaired by not knowing that Elvis

LIFE IN THE ’BOAT

Joanne Palmer failed his music class in school, William Taft got stuck in his bathtub on his Inauguration Day and a jiffy is an actual unit of time: one-hundredth of a second. Thus the saying, “I will be there in a jiffy.” Although I have been able to live a pretty darn interesting life without knowing the above facts, I have to say there is a lot of information in this book to support various arguments I have made throughout the years, such as, “Matrimonial pollsters contend that a man who kisses his wife good-bye when he leaves for work every morning averages a higher income than a man who doesn’t.”

If that doesn’t change your guy’s smooching habits, try this: “It has also been documented that men who kiss their wives before leaving home in the morning live five years longer than those who don’t.” Ha, gotcha! Tell him it doesn’t have to be a long kiss, like the one that made the “Guinness Book of World Records” at 417 hours — slightly longer than 17 days — which would probably use up most of his vacation time and leave both of you with severely chapped lips. There is also a lot of information in this book that puts into perspective some of my own oddities, like having to apply clear nail polish to my fingernails while writing a column and scouring the kitchen sink. I also have a deep and unnatural phobia of being See Palmer, page 19

Numbers down at YVRA More empty seats, lower prices dampen airport revenues STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The number of departures at Yampa Valley Regional Airport was down by a total of 2,500 passengers in June, July and August, compared with 2008. However, undisclosed airline yields might prove to be the deciding factor early next year, when local officials could decide between jets or props for spring, summer and fall in 2010. YVRA saw fewer inbound and outbound seats this summer because of the elimination of a daily jet flight to Salt Lake City, Utah. But information collected by airport officials shows that United Express jet flights departing for Denver saw greater load

factors than did similar flights in the summer of 2008. Load factors alone don’t tell the story of airline revenues. “The amount people were paying per seat was not as high this summer as last summer,” said Sandy Evans Hall, executive vice president of the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association. As a result, she said, “the cost of service is expected to be higher this summer than last.” Evans Hall monitors summer airline service closely. The Chamber provides administrative services to the Local Marketing District, which brokers contracts providing minimum revenue guarantees to secure air service in the Yampa Valley. See YVRA, page 17

White endorses Penry for governor Brandon Gee

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Moderate state Sen. Al White, R-Hayden, has thrown his weight behind Senate Minority Leader Josh Penry, R-Grand Junction, in the race to win the Republican primary and take on Gov. Bill Ritter in the 2010 gubernatorial election. “I sat neutral for several months and watched the candidates handle themselves in various situations,” White said Tuesday, “and I just thought Josh showed me more than any of the other candidates.” White is the 25th state legislator to endorse Penry, who trails former Republican Congressman Scott McInnis in early primary polls. Greeley business-

and a new direction for the Republican Party,” White said. “The status quo has not been working for us.” Penry, 33, is the youngest member of the state Leg-

McInnis is leading Penry by 21 points among Republicans, according to an August poll by Public Policy Polling, but the pollsters note that the result probably reflects “initial name recognition more than anything else.” “The numbers … will develop a lot over time as Republican voters become more familiar

During its 89-year history, Steamboat’s Leo Hill Post No. 44 of the American Legion has held 88 Memorial Day services and led 87 Fourth of July color guards. Members of the veteran support organization sponsored the town’s Fourth of July celebration for four decades, starting the celebration’s holiday fireworks and running them through the late 1990s. In the early ’30s, the group’s holiday dances were popular enough to warrant purchase of the Chieftain Ballroom, a venue it held until 1954; the Legion maintained a community center until the late 1970s. The 44th post to receive its charter in Colorado — and one of three posts in Routt County, along with Legion groups in Hayden and Yampa — No. 44 has a storied history as one of the county’s oldest continuous community organizations.

Routt County United Way officials know the economic recession hurts people’s ability to donate, but as the need for services continues to grow locally, they say there might not be a more important time than now for folks to give. The organization that serves more than 40 area health and human service agencies kicked off its 27th annual eight-week fundraising campaign Tuesday. This year’s goal is $525,000, which can be seen on the “Community Thermometer” that was installed on the Routt County Courthouse lawn to gauge the progress. Laurie Good, president of the United Way’s board of directors, said this year’s goal is less than the $600,000 it set out to raise last year. “We didn’t quite reach that,” she said. “We’re being realistic in this economy. We’re setting our expectations to be practical.” Realizing fundraising would be more challenging this year, Lynaia South Orr, the campaign chairwoman, said United Way has asked its donors and board members to be creative with their fundraising in an effort to reach more people. She said

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

Water exchange worth exploring

ere in the semi-arid West, few issues are as important to the long-term viability of a community as water rights and water policy. That’s why we can’t help but be intrigued by Steamboat Springs water AT ISSUE attorney Tom Sharp’s Water storage proposed multiproposal entity water storage exchange. The proposal isn’t without OUR VIEW obstacles — and perTom Sharp’s haps some of them are idea could be insurmountable for an innovative, some of the entities cost-saving — but Sharp’s creative proposal is just the solution to type of thinking that long-term water planning. could save the city of Steamboat Springs and its residents millions of dollars, while simultaneously firming up future water needs. That fact alone demands that city officials and their water experts at least consider the potential benefits and pitfalls of Sharp’s

proposal and potentially use it as a jumping-off point for further negotiations. Sharp’s proposal involves a water storage exchange among five entities: the city of Steamboat Springs, Xcel Energy, Tri-State Generation and Transmission, the Colorado River Water Conservation District and the Upper Yampa Water Conservancy District. Water storage facilities at the heart of the exchange are Elkhead Reservoir near Craig, Steamboat Lake in northern Routt County and Stagecoach Reservoir in southern Routt County. The ultimate result of the exchange would be that the city of Steamboat Springs would receive as much as 2,000 acre-feet of water storage rights in Steamboat Lake. That water would augment the city’s existing 8 cubic feet per second, direct flow water right on the Elk River. Adding 2,000 acre-feet of water storage also could indefinitely postpone the city’s future need to build its own reservoir on the Elk River. That

additional capacity is needed for future development in west Steamboat and to achieve the city’s goal of reducing its reliance on the Fish Creek watershed. The city has estimated the cost of constructing a 1,500-acre-foot reservoir on the Elk River at about $12.5 million. A location for that reservoir has not been determined. City officials have acknowledged that, for years, they’ve considered Steamboat Lake a viable water-storage option. But there remains a significant advantage to building an Elk River reservoir of their own: The city would own those water rights in perpetuity, not lease them. Most of the entities involved in the proposed exchange say they haven’t had time to fully vet Sharp’s suggestions. And truth be told, there are a lot of complicated issues to sort through. Sharp’s draft proposal might not be the answer, but it’s an innovative idea that is worth fully exploring. When talking about water, it’s never too early to plan for the future. We hope city officials agree.

The opinion of Steamboat Today is expressed only in the space above.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A councilman’s duty I very much doubt that any of you voted for me because you believed me to be an expert on annexation. On the contrary, I can only hope that you may have because you hoped I would be thoughtful, reasonable and fair. But it doesn’t matter. It is now my charge, and that of the six citizens who serve with me, to represent the interests of the community to the best of my abilities. It is my duty to weigh all of the evidence and opinion, to read all of the materials, the articles and even the blogs and then to cast a vote. I never expected that every vote would be easy, and so I have not been disappointed. It is wonderful to see so many of our citizens so passionately engaged in this dialogue about the proposed annexation, and given the emotion surrounding

MALLARD FILLMORE

this issue, it seems we will likely see this annexation go to a public vote. Indeed, we are all truly blessed to live in a place where these ideals of representative democracy with robust checks and balances are embraced. I still have a job to do, however. Over the past two years I have studied a planning process that started 15 years ago, I have represented the interests of the citizens of Steamboat at scores of meetings and negotiations regarding this proposed development, and I believe that I owe it to you to follow the process through to its end, cast my vote and, probably most important, explain the reasons for which I will cast that vote. I’ll do my best, and all I ask is that everybody else do the same. This is an emotional issue, and I do not think its importance can be understated. Let’s all

do the homework, separate the facts from the fiction, have vigorous debate, respect the public process and remember that we are all, at the end of this, still neighbors. Lastly, although our global, national and local economies may be struggling through a genuinely ugly recession, I personally believe that it would be shortsighted to make a decision on this project based on the fear and uncertainty we are all rightfully feeling today. We should be cognizant of the fact that the planning process for this project really started some 15 years before this recession began, and its terminus lies at least 15 years beyond it.

New skatepark was a community effort Over the past several weeks, crews have been hard at work cleaning up the old sewer lagoons at the Bear River Parcel. As part of the cleanup effort, the city also prepared a portion of the site for construction of a new concrete skateboard park. Last week, a construction crew from Team Pain Skateparks showed up to begin building the actual skatepark. With an estimated build time of eight weeks, we should have a brand-spankin’ new skatepark sometime this fall. Eight weeks to build a skatepark that’s been over 10 years in the making. The Howelsen Hill skatepark was built in the mid-’90s with a few street ramps and a vert halfpipe. Because the original ramps were built out of wood frames with metal surfaces, the snowy winters in Steamboat took their toll on the park. In 2002, the skatepark advocacy group, led by Cassandra Krause, raised $20,000 to purchase new metal skate ramps for the park. But the ultimate goal was a concrete park similar to ones built in Aspen, Silverthorne and Breckenridge. In 2003, I took over the skatepark advocacy efforts and formed the Steamboat Skatepark Alliance. At this point, the older structures in the Howelsen Hill skatepark had deteriorated to the point of being dangerous. Our immediate task was to replace those features. Close to $100,000 was raised and by 2006, new metalframe, synthetic-surface ramps were complete. Next, efforts were turned toward a concrete park. In 2006, a concrete skatepark was included in the draft plan for the future Bear River Park. Initially, the reclamation of the Bear River Parcel was slated for 2007, allowing us to build the skatepark in 2008. Unfortunately, a variety of circumstances delayed the project.

Thanks in order

By summer 2008, plans were looking good to build the park in summer 2009. And then the economy crashed. As the city worked to reallocate budget resources, money set aside for the skatepark was put on hold. Luckily, funds to clean up the sewer lagoons remained in the budget. With less funding, we decided to build the park in two phases of 9,000 square feet each. This past spring, we applied for and received a $200,000 grant from Great Outdoors Colorado to build Phase 1 of the park. That grant, with our existing funds plus a $10,000 grant from the Yampa Valley Community Foundation and a $2,000 grant from the Rotary Club of Steamboat Springs, gave us the funds we needed. Prep work on the site started in June, and the Team Pain crew arrived Thursday. We’re very excited to see the park take shape over the next few weeks, but we’re not done. We’d like to construct Phase 2 as soon as possible. The park needs landscaping, seating areas and other amenities. We’ll organize volunteer workdays next spring, and we’re always seeking donations. Please visit www.skateboat. com for information about future efforts. Finally, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped get the skatepark built.

Must need money As we all know, tough economic times have hit everyone in some way or another, including Routt County and Steamboat. However, I find it interesting that a few years ago it was very rare to see someone chalking tires downtown in two-hour parking areas, but now you can’t hardly miss this anytime you are there. Somebody must need money! It is also interesting to see the planning department more actively looking for sign violations around town versus a few years ago. They used to call and let you know if there was a violation so it could be corrected, but now subjects receive a letter immediately stating fines if any violation occurs for a long period of time. Somebody must need money! These laws/statutes/ordinances are perfectly fine with me, but you either do it or not. You can’t pick and choose when to enforce these ordinances or where and what time. I guess it’s not worth worrying about when there is $1.5 billion in real estate sales and all the trickle down to the community. On my ride home today, I saw nine dead raccoons, two dead deer, three dead skunks, a dead rabbit and a cat, some of which have been there for many days. I’ve never seen this left around for so long before. What a pleasant site this must be for tourists coming to visit. Somebody needs to spend a little money!

Poplar Street work under way

Hayden construction expected to be finished by November Blythe Terrell

HAYDEN

Last Weekend! BLYTHE TERRELL/STAFF

Native Excavating crews are working on the reconstruction of Poplar Street in Hayden. A pair of trucks move equipment and materials south on the road Tuesday afternoon.

Martin said. But the tree removal will make room for sidewalks for children, a safety improvement, he said. Those sidewalks are part of a project planned for next year. “The irony of it is that because it will feel safer, people will speed,” Martin said. “But I hope they won’t.” The town paid only the preliminary engineering fees, which were close to $50,000, Martin said. Grants and off-site improvement fees from the Lake Village

subdivision will cover the rest. “These types of projects, like that road project, are a good example of how we’ve been able to leverage the dollar” without raising taxes or using hundreds of thousands in town funds, Martin said. The Poplar work will keep the street closed until at least November. “Everything’s gone very smooth so far,” MacArthur said. “We haven’t had any problems with anybody locally.”

Poplar Street has been closed to through traffic for a week and sits ripped up and ready for rebuilding. The Hayden thoroughfare is expected to be shut until November from U.S. Highway 40 to Dry Creek. Native Excavating won the $958,000 contract. Company owner Ed MacArthur said everything was on schedule. MacArthur’s crew has removed the asphalt and is grading the road. Native Excavating will start storm sewer work today, he said. Workers will install the sewer system in the next week before building a culvert. Poplar is closed to all but local traffic. The road meets U.S. 40 at a stoplight and extends south toward the Routt County Fairgrounds. Drivers have been asked to use a detour on Third Street. Native Excavating started the project by removing large cottonwoods to make way for a sidewalk. “I know it’s a shock to a lot of people what happened with the trees,” Town Manager Russ

Detalles del Festival

El OktoberWest comienza el día viernes a las 5 p.m. con un desfile de bicicletas modelo crucero desde Howelsen Hill a Little Toots Park en el centro de Steamboat Springs. En relación a este desfile Molly Killien, Gerente de Relaciones Publicas

Seis tickets para comprar cervezas de 5 oz estarán a $5 y se podrán usar el día viernes por la noche en los restaurantes participantes, dijo Broyles. Los tickets estarán a la venta desde las 5 hasta las 7 de la noche, el día viernes en el Parque Little Toots, dijo ella. El día 19 de setiembre, la ubicación del festival cambiara a la base del Steamboat Ski Area. Los productores de cerveza de Rocky Mountain aperturaran al mediodía. Entre las selecciones de cerveza también se ha incluido al Mahogany Ridge Brewery y el Grill’s Alpenglow y el trigo de la estación de otoño; New Belgium’s Hoptober Golden Ale, Sunshine Wheat and Fat Tire Amber; Steamboat Pale Ale; y Anheuser-Busch’s Shock Top Belgian White, dijo Broyles.

Networking isn’t Just Working the ’Net

Combining traditional and technical networking methods creates successful outcomes Molly Killien

Tips for networking

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS CHAMBER RESORT ASSOCIATION

What is available online? Who is a “tweet”? How do you “friend” someone? What will happen if I am not “LinkedIn?” These questions might sound silly, but in the new age of social networking these questions are legitimate. It is widely known that popular social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are revolutionizing how business contacts are made, how colleagues keep in touch and how information can be shared. These tech portals are great tools for almost everything within business. However, it is imperative that the public not forget about that old-fashioned approach to networking such as face-to-face contact and not to just get stuck behind their com-

to hand out

■ Practice your “stump” speech. In

50 words or less be able to define your primary service or products ■ Know who your target client is and be able to define it easily ■ Ask for leads, ask for contacts, ask and share

puters. These social networking sites are just a few examples of hundreds of options available.

Networking options Let’s be honest, it is humanly impossible to be involved in everything here in Steamboat, but a good place to start networking is to join a group within the community that is working in an area of interest to you. Some examples include Steamboat Relay, a group of local business owners and professionals who think promoting their team members’ businesses is good for their business. Steamboat Ignite connects “tech entrepreneurs, tech gypsies, tweeters and other cool tech types.” The Yampa Valley

Impact 100’s methodology is to bring together a large group of people who make smaller contributions that combined have a big impact. Don’t forget community service clubs including Rotary, Lion’s Club, Masons and Kiwanis, which are dedicated to service-related projects. In some cases, specific networking events are the ticket to meeting new people, jump-starting a career or staying in the local business loop. This fall, the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association is unveiling new networking programs for business professionals to

get in important face-to-face time. These new networking programs are being added to an already successful networking event lineup but give participants (Chamber members) more to choose from and the option to selects programs that fit their specific niche. Check out the following new networking programs: ■ Power Lunch: Just as the name implies, “Power Lunch” participants can expect a high energy, fast-paced networking lunch. Attendees will be seated according to industry to offer the most successful outcomes, referrals and lunchtime success stories. $20 includes lunch options. Oct. 13, noon at Three Saddles at the Sheraton. ■ Power Tea: Women Only.

��

Networking with other Yampa Valley women who are interested in promoting their businesses and learning more about yours. This casual tea will feature a keynote speaker and plenty of networking time. ■ Corks & Connections: A wine tasting networking event. Make business connections in a casual after-hours setting. Tuesday, Sept. 29 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Cellar Liquors. $10 includes wine and snacks. These new networking programs join the already well-established repertoire of Chamber programs including Good Morning Steamboat, Business Outlook Breakfasts, Speed Networking, Early Bird Speed Networking, Business After-Hour Mixers, Steamboat Chamber Ambassadors, Leadership Steamboat and the Young Professionals Network of Steamboat Springs. “We are very proud of how our networking events have grown this year,” notes Meagan Coates, community development manager at the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association. “With such a wide variety of networking options to choose from, businesses cannot afford to miss out.” Networking events work. In just a few minutes, participants can share business cards, history and new contacts. Get to work and get networking — it works!

��

Typewriters, liquid white out, classified ads and reference books were great resources in their day, but if you want to network successfully in today’s climate, it is critical to get with the times. Face-to-face contact, thank you notes and phone calls still are relevant in a new market of “tweeting” and “friending,” but learning to adjust to and embrace new methods, as well as using traditional techniques is imperative to every business. Steamboat Springs may be home to 10,000 residents, but our community hosts literally thousands of ways to connect, reconnect, network and share information. Whether an individual is on the job hunt, has established a new business or is working to stay current with new technologies, here is a checklist for how local businesses stay current.

Airport plans and possibilities could be at the center of a powwow Thursday between the Routt County Board of Commissioners and the Hayden Town Council. At a work session, the two groups will discuss the future of Yampa Valley Regional Airport, a possible rental-car tax and road maintenance. Part of the meeting will center on planned airport improvements and Hayden’s understanding of the benefits YVRA provides, Commissioner Doug Monger said. Through an informal agreement, Hayden had given YVRA 10 percent of the sales tax that comes in from businesses of the airport. The town skipped that contribution this year amid budget cuts. In the past, it’s amounted to more than $50,000. “I guess we wanted to have a philosophical conversation,” Monger said. “We understand times are tough, but we want to make sure they understand the revenues that come out of the Yampa Valley Regional Airport.” Town Manager Russ Martin said Hayden was aware of the benefits of YVRA, which provides about 50 percent of the town’s sales tax. He compared

it to other businesses. “Everybody has their own little assets,” Martin said. “Steamboat Springs has a ski resort. Ours happens to be an airport.” The town makes contributions such as $12,000 in annual road maintenance and services on Routt County Road 51A, Martin said. YVRA uses town contributions to help fund capital improvements, Airport Manager Dave Ruppel said. The city of Steamboat Springs and the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association provide some of that funding. Part of that comes through an agreement to pay for the phase three expansion of the terminal. Ruppel will explain those plans at Thursday’s meeting. The city and Chamber pay a combined $100,000 a year for the expansion. That agreement expires after next year, Ruppel said. He called Hayden a “faithful contributor” to the airport but said lost revenue could have an effect. “It’s one of those things

where every little bit of money helps, so it just reduces our revenue outlay for some of those capital projects,” Ruppel said. “It’s not that it makes it impossible for us to do those things. It just means we have to take money we would have used for other operations and move it to those capital projects, or we have to wait till we have more money in hand to do those capital projects.” Thursday’s meeting also will include a discussion of the possible rental-car tax, which Hayden voters will decide on in November. Monger and Ruppel said they weren’t trying to dissuade the town from approving the 3.5 percent additional sales tax. Ruppel said he planned to take figures to the meeting about the impact of a tax. “When we continue to add costs on to the cost of coming here for a vacation, at some point we price ourselves out of the market,” he said. “I don’t think this is it … but I think we all need to be aware this is a potential issue.” Commissioners and council members also plan to review agreements about which agency maintains which roads. Commissioners also might address questions about their transfer of development rights plans, Monger said. — To reach Blythe Terrell, call 871-4234 or e-mail bterrell@steamboatpilot.com

Hayden School Board to hear gym bids District has said it can’t afford repairs for middle school Jack Weinstein

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

HAYDEN

Hayden School Board members will hear two bids tonight that could determine the fate of the middle school gymnasium. The gym was closed for the 2009-10 school year after an engineering study indicated it needed repairs that the district said it couldn’t afford, Superintendent Greg Rockhold said Tuesday.

What: Hayden School Board meeting When: 6 p.m. today Where: Board meeting room of the district’s administrative offices, 495 W. Jefferson Ave.

At the last meeting in August, board member Kurt Frentress requested that Rockhold solicit bids to repair and demolish the 62-year-old gym at Hayden Middle School.

The engineering study recommended reinforcing the gym with a steel frame, reinforcing the deteriorating south masonry wall with concrete pillars, replacing doors and windows and shoring up the foundation. Rockhold said an initial estimate put those costs at between $20,000 and $30,000, which the district doesn’t have. Rockhold said he will present two bids to board members See Hayden, page 18

Shuttle project gets grant CDOT awards $12K, requires matching funds from county STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The trip from South Routt County to Steamboat Springs may become more convenient beginning in 2010 if Routt County commissioners can come up with $12,476. The Colorado Department of Transportation awarded $12,476 on Friday to the South Routt Vanpool Pilot Project on the condition that the county provide matching funds. To do that, Commissioner Diane Mitsch Bush is first compiling a list of interested Yampa, Phippsburg, Oak Creek and Stagecoach residents who would be interested in using the daily service. Mitsch Bush said the anticipated round-trip cost is $6. “This includes the option of an emergency ride should you get sick or need to deal with sick children or other emergencies for which you need a ride or a vehicle,” she wrote in an e-mail. Mitch Bush said the grant is the result of a yearlong study, meetings, surveys, consultant studies and conversations. “We will work very hard to get that match,” she said. “We still

have lots of work to do, but it’s exciting that we won the grant.” Commissioners also sent surveys to major employers in the county, asking whether they would be willing to contribute to the project. Commissioner Nancy Stahoviak said the companies have said they don’t have much money to give. Stahoviak said if the program is successful, it could be expanded to other areas of the county, including Hayden. In 2007, commissioners surveyed South Routt residents and received 135 responses about the potential use of a shuttle system. Of those, 103 respondents expressed interest in using the shuttle. The county also received a CDOT grant to conduct the initial study of the project.

Routt County Road 14 Mitsch Bush on Monday also announced that a team of Routt County officials applied for a $13.9 million federal grant for the repair of Routt County Road 14. Since July 1, Routt County Road and Bridge employees, attorneys, financial employees and Mitsch Bush have worked to complete the grant, she wrote in an e-mail.

Get in the pool If you would like to subscribe to the South Routt Vanpool Pilot Project, provide the following information in an e-mail to DMitschBush@co.routt.co.us, or call Routt County Commissioner Diane Mitsch Bush at 870-5220. ■ Your home address, with nearest cross streets or highway crossing and whether it is Yampa, Oak Creek, Phippsburg or Stagecoach. ■ Time you need to be at work in the morning. ■ Your workplace location in Steamboat Springs (address and cross streets). ■ The time you would like to leave for home. ■ Days of week you think you might like to use this service: 1. Monday to Friday (5 days) 2. Monday to Thursday (4 days) 3. 3 days; please indicate which days 4. 2 days; please indicate which days 5. 1 day; please indicate which day.

The money, from the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery fund would be used to “redesign, reconstruct and realign segments of a 5.2 mile section of C.R. 14,” according to the grant application. Mitch Bush said she expects to hear back on the grant by April. Reporter Brandon Gee contributed to this report

Almost half of reserve fund to be spent The LMD, including representatives of the resort community, makes recommendations to Steamboat Springs City Council about how to spend two points of lodging tax committed to underwriting air service. The funds augment a larger share provided by Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. and help attract direct ski season flights from cities including Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, New York, Chicago and Minneapolis. In addition, LMD funds underwrite the full share of summer jets operated by United con-

tractor SkyWest Airlines, with the LMD’s exposure capped at $300,000. Members of the LMD appeared before City Council last night to update their 2010 budgeting plans. United officials would agree to provide summer service on turboprops operated by Mesa Airlines with no need for revenue guarantees. So the community preference for the on-time reliability of jet service exposes the LMD to the risk of meeting revenue guarantees that vary with airline yields each season. Based on early returns, Evans Hall said the LMD expects to

pay the full $300,000 revenue guarantee for summer flights. Last year, it paid nothing, except for fully underwriting the Salt Lake flight. Evans Hall said the combined performance of this summer’s flights and the coming ski season flights would guide decisions about the off-ski-season funding next year. LMD members typically hope to out-perform the conservative budget and carry as much as $750,000 forward into the new budget cycle. However, this year, they anticipate committing almost half of their $1 million reserve fund.

Officers also will be able to get reports about people and cars they have pulled over, giving the officers background the suspects and helping them know when to call for backup, thereby improving safety, Schmidt said. The system also will allow officers to look at maps of crime in the area. Schmidt worked with Terry Barber, the director of information systems for Routt County, and grant writer Winnie DelliQuadri to complete the grant in March and April. Schmidt said the project has been discussed for a long time, but when the economy crashed, it looked unlikely that the money would be available. “One of the things that made us a good candidate for (the

grant), and got it awarded, is that we had already been looking at replacing our system last year, but when the economy went south, we lost the money for it,” he said. “We had pretty much resigned ourselves to shelving all the work we had done.” Routt County Communications Director JP Harris said he expected to hear back about the grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance by August. “Because of the cost of the new system and the economy, we did put it on the back burner,” he said. “We’re excited to have received it.” The system will tie together all law enforcement agencies in the county, Harris said, and allow other agencies to access the system as needed. The project also will create three jobs: a project manager, an information systems specialist and a data migration engineer. Schmidt said the project manager will be contracted for 18 months and the data migration engineer will be contracted for

The city and county likely will begin accepting bids in March 2010 and start installing the project once a bid is accepted.

at a Republican gathering in Keystone and his on-air clash with the hosts of a right-leaning talk radio show. White said McInnis’ behavior, and Penry’s decision not to jump on it, were deciding factors in his endorsement decision. “I appreciate the way Josh handled that as opposed to seizing an opportunity to bash his opponent,” White said. Penry is a self-described “reform-minded conservative” who believes the Republican Party has lost its fiscal discipline. McInnis also is running on a platform of fiscal conservatism and says he wants to enact economic policies that promote new jobs.

The road — which is slated to be constructed and financed by a partnership of the city, Routt County and the private developer Overlook Park — would cross greenbelts associated with the mobile home park on its way to the planned Overlook Park project and the proposed Steamboat 700 annexation. The road has long been identified as a necessary public infrastructure upgrade to provide parallel road capacity to U.S. Highway 40 and accommodate growth and affordable housing development in western Steamboat. “We thought the key to creating that affordable housing was to build public infrastructure with public money,” Antonucci said. The residents are involved

��

to prevent construction of the road or receive $400,000 in compensation. The city’s legal argument is that it negotiated the road alignment with the mobile home park’s owner and that the residents have no legal standing in the matter. “It makes us feel like we are less than residents of the city of Steamboat Springs because we don’t own the land beneath our homes,” Williams said. West Acres tenants argue that the greenbelts were dedicated to the residents of the park rather than its owner, and that the city’s condemnation of the property and construction of the road violates the public trust doctrine. “It seems to me the whole purpose of greenbelts is not to build on them,” said Dan Armstrong, who grew up in the mobile home park. Residents also expressed concerns about safety, noise and environmental issues. Many asked why the “road to nowhere” needs to be constructed at all, noting that neither Overlook Park nor Steamboat 700 has been approved. “Isn’t it prudent to have something approved before a road is built?” Williams said. “Is it typical for the city to put up money for a private development? It seems to me the city is putting the cart before the horse.”

$1.3 million for New Victory Highway, and Routt County has pledged $500,000. Overlook Park is required to pay for 9 percent of the road from Downhill Drive to their property and 100 percent of the cost on their land. According to a cost-sharing agreement, Overlook Park also was responsible for design and engineering costs and executing a contract for the road’s construction. Reached by phone after council’s meeting with the West Acres residents, Overlook Park representative Norbert Turek confirmed that Duckels Construction has submitted the low bid for the project and that he planned to begin construction this fall. While council members ended up agreeing there was no rush to build the road, the legal question of whether the city has the authority to halt it was left unanswered. “Right now they have the right to commence construction and get 91 percent of the cost from the city,” City Attorney Tony Lettunich said. Councilwoman Cari Hermacinski, however, said she thinks the cost-sharing agreement is valid only after Overlook Park is approved. Turek was not at the meeting but listened over the phone. Afterward he said he was “thrown for a loop.” Turek, who represents Overlook Park’s outof-state owner, said the development has been held up since 2004 because of the city’s insis-

way be constructed. “I don’t know what to do next,” Turek said Tuesday night. “As of this morning, I thought the whole city was behind the project. … I honestly don’t know what conversation I’m going to have with the city (today).” Turek disagreed that the New Victory Highway is a “road to nowhere.” He said it is a regional transportation necessity regardless of what development occurs in western Steamboat. “If everyone has to be sitting at the table at the same time agreeing, a bypass will never get constructed,” Turek said. “If the road could go somewhere else, I would put it somewhere else. It’s going to be really awful for the people in the mobile home park, but in theory it’s going to be a benefit to a lot of other people.” Displeasure also was expressed toward mobile home park owner Charlie Williams, who negotiated a deal with the city, received $200,000 in compensation, simultaneously sold 11 acres to Overlook Park and reportedly never told his tenants what was going on. When asked why the residents weren’t suing Charlie Williams rather than the city, attorney Charles Grassby said only that it is a complex and highly unusual legal matter and that he thinks the residents have a better case against the city. — To reach Brandon Gee, call 367-7507 or e-mail bgee@steamboatpilot.com

Agency regrets ‘insensitive’ remarks about Hispanic campers THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AROUND COLORADO DENVER

The U.S. Forest Service has apologized for suggesting that campers who eat tortillas, drink Tecate beer and play Spanish music may be armed marijuana growers, calling it “regrettable” and “insensitive.” Forest Service officials apologized to Colorado Hispanic leaders in a meeting two weeks ago and released a written apology this week. The Forest Service issued a warning about armed drug growers last month amid an investigation into how much marijuana is being cultivated in national forests in Colorado. Officials retracted it two days later amid heavy criticism. The written apology by Rocky Mountain Regional Forester Rick Cables says the agency “learned some valuable lessons.” He says the agency will establish a forum for more discussions. Cables said he met with 17 Hispanic community leaders, representing a variety of Hispanic organizations in Colorado, to issue an apology for what he said were “regrettable references” during an Aug. 26 media briefing about illegal marijuana cultivation activities in national forests in Colorado.

Norton joins Senate race to unseat Michael Bennet DENVER

Some Republicans say former Lt. Gov. Jane Norton is

their best chance to unseat Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet next year. But Norton didn’t even mention Bennet on Tuesday when she kicked off her campaign. Instead, she had strong words for President Barack Obama and the Democrats in Congress. “At every turn, Washington’s giant hand seems to be grabbing everything in sight,” said Norton, who told a crowd of about 100 supporters at a Denver hotel that ruling Democrats have “unleashed a tidal wave of spending.” It appears Norton is angling to tap into Colorado opposition to Obama, who carried Colorado last year but is struggling to hold onto support here. Tracking polls by Gallup from January through June showed Coloradans gave the president the lowest approval rating of any state he won: 55 percent. Norton slammed Obama’s first big act as president — the $787 billion economic stimulus package, which was signed into law in Denver.

Hickenlooper recommends cutting 176 jobs in Denver DENVER

Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper is proposing that 176 city workers be laid off to help close a $120 million budget shortfall. On top of that, 150 police

officers, firefighters and sheriff’s deputies could lose their jobs if they don’t agree to forego raises. Hickenlooper’s administration announced the proposed cuts Tuesday in response to the biggest drop in city revenues since the Great Depression. Hickenlooper is also proposing scaling back library hours and closing four recreation centers. The city is in talks with private groups to see if they will take them over instead. A trash pickup fee had been considered but isn’t part of the proposal. The plan now goes to the City Council, which is expected to make a final decision about cuts in November.

AROUND THE NATION

WASHINGTON

Retail sales jumped in August by the largest amount in more than three years, but economists warn that as long as credit stays tight and jobs remain scarce, Americans probably aren’t ready to spend in force again. Underscoring just how fragile the economic recovery is, Best Buy said Tuesday that customers are spending less in its electronics stores, and Kroger said grocery shoppers still are buying only what they need for the next week, or even the next meal. The gains for August included a big jump in auto sales, mostly from the government’s recently ended Cash for Clunkers program. Retail sales overall increased by a seasonally adjusted 2.7 percent, the largest gain since 2006, the Commerce Department said. Economists were cautious. “We need more data to see if this is sustainable or just noise,” Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, wrote.

Rep. Wilson faces rebuke from Dems for outburst WASHINGTON

Barring a last-minute apology to Congress, Republican Rep. Joe Wilson, of South Carolina, faces what is likely

to be a partisan vote scolding him for shouting “You lie!” at President Barack Obama. Democratic aides said House leaders were preparing to introduce a resolution of disapproval Tuesday afternoon, with a vote likely later in the day. Democrats confirmed Monday night that they were moving forward with the rebuke. Wilson has apologized to the White House for his outburst last week during Obama’s speech to Congress. But Democrats say he also should apologize to Congress for what they call an unprecedented breach of decorum. Wilson has refused to do so, saying his initial apology was sufficient.

Sen. Levin: US should not add forces in Afghanistan WASHINGTON

The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee says the United States shouldn’t add more forces to the Afghanistan war for now. Sen. Carl Levin used a nomination hearing for the nation’s top military officer to repeat his call for a focus on the training of Afghan forces. The Michigan Democrat said Tuesday that his approach is a better policy than building up a U.S. force that outnum-

bers the Afghans in important parts of the country. Levin’s Republican counterpart, Sen. John McCain, of Arizona, disagreed with him. McCain said that capping U.S. forces in Afghanistan runs the risk of repeating early mistakes in Iraq.

Police name ‘person of interest’ in Yale killing NEW HAVEN, CONN.

Police have identified a “person of interest” in the killing of a Yale University graduate student whose body was hidden for days in a wall in a university research building, a Connecticut state official said Tuesday. The official has firsthand knowledge of the police investigation into the death of 24year-old Annie Le and would not elaborate on what was meant by “person of interest.” The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is continuing. A spokesman for New Haven police, who have been extraordinarily tight-lipped during the investigation, did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Police said earlier Tuesday that they had questioned 150 people in connection with the death of Le, who vanished Sept. 8 from a Yale research building. Her body was found Sunday.

Vehicle makers rethink electrics Matt Moore and George Frey THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FRANKFURT

The race is on among the world’s auto companies to make electric cars go farther on a single charge, bring the price down to compete with gas-powered vehicles and give drivers more places to recharge them than just the family garage. Electric is the big buzz at the 63rd Frankfurt Auto Show this week, and nearly every major automaker has at least one on display. Renault introduced no fewer than four electric models, while Tesla, the only company producing and selling purely electric cars, handed over the keys to its 700th all-electric vehicle, a blue Roadster Sport, to a German buyer at the show. If the models unveiled Tuesday are any indication, the notion of electric cars as small, stunted boxes with little range is about to be junked. “People have realized that ... electric vehicles don’t have to be golf carts,” said Diarmuid O’Connell, vice president of business development for Tesla Motors.. “They don’t have to be anemic little putt-putts.” The company’s sleek, two-seat Roadster sells for $101,500 in the U.S. and has a range of 244 miles on one charge. Its planned Model S, which will seat seven and has a 300-mile range, will go for $49,900. Other automakers, including BMW, General Motors and Daimler, also are developing electric-powered vehicles, including hybrid cars that boast a small gas or diesel engine backed up with an electrical motor, and say the prices will drop as bulky batteries become smaller, faster to charge and easier to replace. Daimler said it will put its first electricity generating fuel-cell car on the road by the end of this year, the B-Class F-Cell. It will also develop a high-performance electric sports car, its MercedesBenz SLS AMG. Volkswagen AG will put its new E-Up! electric compact into production in 2013. VW did not disclose how much it will cost or when it might be available in the U.S. The company said the battery will give drivers a range of around 80 miles, or about 130 kilometers.

CRAIG DAILY PRESS

CRAIG

Steamboat’s boys soccer team traveled to Moffat County on Tuesday for a Western Slope League contest against the rival Bulldogs, and the Sailors escaped with a 2-1 victory to remain undefeated on the season. The teams appeared to be evenly matched for much of

the first half, with the Sailors (2-0-1) and Bulldogs (2-1) swapping defensive stands. Steamboat seemed to find its groove when a shot ricocheted off the top of the Bulldog’s goal, but Moffat County kept getting itself out of trouble. It didn’t last. With the first half coming to a close, Steamboat got on the board by way of an Enrique Lopez goal. Lopez stayed busy in the second half when he assisted

on a Jonathan Roser goal to put the Sailors up, 2-0. That’s when Moffat County went to work. Aggressive ball handling from Tracy Mendoza, Jorge Gonzales and Alex Perez kept the Bulldogs in Sailors’ territory for most of the second half. Jose Olivarez found some room and capitalized deep in Sailor territory, scoring Moffat County’s first goal. But the Bulldogs could get

no closer than 2-1, though they had plenty of chances. Late in the game, some fancy ball skills by Perez, a freshmen forward, nearly led to a tie. But like so many other Moffat County chances, this one also was rebuked by tough Steamboat defense. “I didn’t score,” Perez said. “I was trying, but I couldn’t. (The Sailors defense is) good.

mistakes and nerves dotted the Tigers lineup Tuesday. “We’re still working on things for the end of the season,” Johnson said. “I know that we’re going to make mistakes. Hopefully each game we’ll get a little better at them.” After falling in a back-andforth first game, the Tigers

gave a glimpse of their potential in the following two. Hayden trailed most of the second game, down by as much as 13-8 at one point. But each time North Park looked like it would put the game away, Hayden would answer. The Tigers finally took the See Volleyball, page 28

Barry Zito struck out a season-high nine in his biggest win yet as a Giant, Juan Uribe drove in three runs and San Francisco shaved another game off Colorado’s hold on the National League wild card with a 10-2 victory against the Rockies on TUESDAY’S GAME: Tuesday night. San Francisco Giants 10 won its third Rockies 2 straight after a four-game skid and pulled within 2 1/2 games of the wild-card leading Rockies, who dropped their fourth straight following an eight-game winning streak. Zito, the 2002 American League Cy Young Award winner, finally is performing more like the standout pitcher San Francisco awarded with a $126 million, seven-year contract before the 2007 season. The Giants swept the Rockies from Aug. 28 to 30 to move even in the wild card, and could really benefit by doing so again this time. All-Star Matt Cain takes the mound in the series finale Wednesday night for the Giants. In San Francisco’s three straight wins, the Giants have outscored the Dodgers and Rockies, 26-5, after being outscored, 19-4, in the previous two with first-place Los Angeles. Travis Ishikawa singled in a run and added a sacrifice fly. Troy Tulowitzki hit a solo home run in the sixth and Carlos Gonzalez singled in the Rockies’ first run in the third, but Colorado did little else against Zito (10-12). Fans chanted “Barry! Barry!” for his second straight impressive home outing against Colorado. The left-hander allowed five hits and two runs in seven efficient innings, walking only one in a 93-pitch effort.

We had several opportunities to score, and we couldn’t.” Moffat County coach Rusty Cox said his young team — only two seniors started the game — impressed him with its grit.

“Our defense was incredible today,” he said. “They stepped up and were in their face today. But Steamboat’s a good team, and this wasn’t Rob’s first win.” “There’s no shame in losing a game 2-1,” Cox continued. “Especially when it’s against a team like Steamboat.

lead at 23-22 — their first of the game since an early 43 advantage — before putting the Wildcats away. In the third game, Koehler was dominant in the middle. The senior’s ability at the net changed the North Park strategy and helped propel Hayden to a 25-22 win. But that’s when the Tigers’ youth hurt them. Hayden quickly dropped the fourth game and entered the fifth game looking a little shaky. The Tigers took a 14-13 lead

before several errors gave North Park the game and the match. “We’re going to learn more from a loss than we would have from the win,” said Koehler, who played despite battling an illness. “We’re going to learn more what we need to work on and what we need to get better at. We have to work on our attitudes more. We have to keep a positive attitude when we’re not doing well so we can get back into it.” The Tigers don’t have too much time to think about Tuesday’s loss. Hayden plays at 7 p.m. Thursday at Baggs,

Wyo., and at 3 p.m. Saturday at Vail Christian. While Johnson was disappointed, he expects to see a much more refined Tigers team the next few games. “A lot of people are still figuring out what intensity you need to play with,” he said. “If you want to be a winning team, you really have to dig deep. Every play has to be the same intensity and drive. Right now we’re lacking some confidence. But that will come with time.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOULDER

Dan Hawkins remarked in the offseason that Colorado had the talent to be a 10-win team. After losses to rival Colorado State and underdog Toledo to open the year, that hunch is coming back to haunt the Buffaloes coach. Is Hawkins now on the hot seat? “I’m as frustrated and disappointHawkins ed as anybody,” Colorado athletic director Mike Bohn said Tuesday. “I believe in Dan.” Just a year ago, Bohn signed Hawkins to an extension to keep him in Boulder through the 2012 season. The move came on the heels of a 2007 campaign in which the Buffaloes beat Oklahoma and Nebraska and earned a spot in the Independence Bowl. But the Buffaloes couldn’t sustain the momentum, finishing 5-7 last season. So far in 2009, they have been outscored 77-55 by two opponents from outside the major BCS conferences. He is 13-26 in his third season

at CU after being lured from Boise State to Boulder to right a program that had been stunted by scandal under Gary Barnett. Hawkins isn’t fretting or fearful of losing his job. “I’m always secure,” said Hawkins, who took over the program in 2006. “We’re doing things right by the kids, we’re doing things right by the school, we’re doing things right football-wise, too.” Bohn has been backing Hawkins at every chance. But he also understands the concern of the fans. Bohn is quite aware that Buffs fans are restless. “It’s the nature of the business. I’d prefer not to have all those negative thoughts channeled into a negative direction,” Bohn said. “He’s frustrated and he understands that he’s responsible for what’s going on. He’s looking at the mirror and trying to figure out new ways to present his program and put new things in. I salute that competitive spirit.” That’s what led Hawkins to suggest the team was capable of winning 10 games before the season. Despite the early season

slide, he still thinks the talent is in place. “Are we good enough? Yeah, we are,” said Hawkins, whose team will wear throwback jerseys from the 1930s — the days of Byron “Whizzer” White — when they host Wyoming (1-1) on Saturday. “We’re good enough. But that also gets both fueled and tainted by confidence and momentum. ... We just need to keep going, get a little bit better, get a win, get a little wind underneath our wings.” That also could go a long way in soothing Buffs nation. “I don’t feel under attack, but I also understand we’re not meeting the expectations of our fans,” Bohn said. “We’re not providing a sense of accomplishment at a level we expect ourselves. The outside attacks are really not driving us as much as our competitive spirit. We’re competitive people and we have a great resolve to improve.” One of Colorado’s main concerns is shoring up a defense that’s been shaky so far. That’s why the Buffaloes are going back to the basics, cutting down on schemes and packages.

In a shift, Pac-10 gets defensive TUCSON, ARIZ.

When Arizona offensive coordinator Sonny Dykes arrived from Texas Tech three years ago, he boned up on defensive films of the Wildcats’ Pac-10 rivals. What Dykes saw opened his eyes. Tackling? In the Pac-10? “It was surprising,” Dykes said in an interview this week. “I expected it to be what the Big 12 is now — spread offenses and throwing it all around and nobody playing defense. But there’s really been a shift. I think that the Pac10 is a completely different league than the perceptions.” The Pac-10’s flag-football reputation may have been forged in the 1970s and 1980s, when the league won 16 of 20 Rose Bowls against an assortment of Big Ten plowhorses. Every New Year’s Day, it seemed, the Pac-10’s pretty-boy quarterbacks would steal the show in Pasadena. Few fans gave much thought to defense, even though the Pac10 representatives gave up a total of 32 points in three Rose Bowls from 1970-72 and a total of 23 in three games from 1982-84. “With our history kind of

COLLEGE FOOTBALL being basketball on grass and all the great quarterbacks and stuff, people tend to look at the Pac-10 like that,” said Oregon State coach Mike Riley, a former Alabama defensive back. “The defenses throughout (the league) are better and physical. We’ve become different than our history.” Indeed, more Pac-10 teams are emphasizing defense. When the Pac-10 swept its five bowls last winter, its teams limited every opponent below their regular-sea-

son scoring average. More evidence came last weekend, when UCLA beat Tennessee 19-15 and USC edged Ohio State 18-15. In Knoxville, the Bruins survived on a day they mustered but 186 yards on offense. For UCLA, the highlight of an ugly game came when the Bruins stuffed Tennessee tailback Montario Hardesty on fourth down near the goal line. Both wins were the sort of gritty, grass-stained triumphs people don’t expect from Pac-10 teams — except Pac-10 coaches.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA

Cliff Lee threw a six-hitter, Carlos Ruiz hit a three-run double, and Philadelphia beat Washington, 5-0, on Tuesday night. The National League East leaders have won six of eight and reduced their magic number for clinching their third consecutive division title to 12 with 19 games remaining. Lee (7-2) struck out nine and walked three to record his second shutout and sixth complete game this season. He was 1-2 with a 9.60 ERA in his previous three starts after giving up three earned runs in his first five with Philadelphia.

had a two-run single to cap a five-run fifth inning for the Brewers.

Braves 6, Mets 0 ATLANTA

Adam LaRoche had two homers and two doubles, and he drove in three runs, and rookie Tommy Hanson pitched seven innings for Atlanta, which won its fifth straight. LaRoche went 4 for 4, including solo homers in the second and the sixth, giving him 25 this season — 12 since he was acquired from Boston on July 31. He had an RBI double in the fourth, and a leadoff double in the eighth. LaRoche became the first Braves player to have four extra-base hits in a game since doing it himself during his first stint with the team, on Aug. 30, 2006.

Reds 5, Astros 4 CINCINNATI

Paul Janish drove in the goahead run in the seventh inning with his third double to lead Cincinnati. Houston reliever Sammy Gervachio (1-1) opened the seventh by hitting Corky Miller. After a sacrifice and a strikeout, Janish lined a double to rightcenter to help send the Astros to their third consecutive loss. Daniel Ray Herrera (4-4) struck out Michael Bourn, the only batter he faced, to end the seventh and earn the win. Francisco Cordero pitched the ninth for his 36th save. The Reds have won three of four.

Rookie Sean West had a season-high nine strikeouts to outpitch 18-game winner Adam Wainwright and Dan Uggla’s two-run homer in the sixth was the go-ahead hit for Florida. Wainwright (18-8) allowed two runs in seven innings and struck out eight, not quite good enough to make him the major leagues’ first 19-game winner. He had been 6-0 with a 1.99 ERA in seven starts since Aug. 8.

Cubs 13, Brewers 7 CHICAGO

Geovany Soto homered and drove in three runs, and Chicago took advantage of 12 walks. Derrek Lee hit a two-run double and drove in three runs, and Mike Fontenot had an RBI single and scored twice for the Cubs, who have won seven of eight. In addition to issuing 12 walks, five Brewers pitchers combined to hit three batters, two with the bases loaded. Corey Hart had a two-run double and Mike Cameron

Red Sox 4, Angels 1 BOSTON

Daisuke Matsuzaka returned from a three-month stint on the disabled list and pitched six shutout innings Tuesday night to lead Boston to a 4-1 victory against Los Angeles Angels. David Ortiz hit his recordbreaking 270th homer as a designated hitter and added an RBI single after Boston broke a scoreless tie in the sixth thanks to a throwing error by John Lackey (10-8). The Red Sox have won six straight.ß

Blue Jays 10, Yankees 4 NEW YORK

New York catcher Jorge Posada and Toronto reliever Jesse Carlson got into a fight near home plate, leading to a frenzied, bench-clearing brawl during the Blue Jays’ victory. Toronto’s Edwin Encarnacion and All-Star second baseman Aaron Hill were hit by pitches before Carlson threw behind Posada in the eighth. The benches and bullpens emptied, though the teams never got close to each other and order was quickly restored.

Royals 11, Tigers 1 DETROIT

Alberto Callaspo, David DeJesus and Miguel Olivo all hit three-run homers for Kansas City. The lastplace Royals have beaten the American League Central-leading Tigers five straight times, four in the last eight days. Robinson Tejada (3-1) beat the Tigers for the second time in less than a week, allowing one run and two hits in five innings.

Orioles 10, Rays 5 BALTIMORE

Alberto Callaspo, David DeJesus and Miguel Olivo all hit three-run homers for Kansas City. The last-place Royals have beaten the AL Central-leading Tigers five straight times, four in the last eight days. Robinson Tejada (3-1) beat the Tigers for the second time in less than a week, allowing one run and two hits in five innings. Jarrod Washburn (9-9) allowed four runs in one inning — the shortest outing of his career. Washburn, who has been hampered by a sore left knee, is 1-3 with a 7.33 ERA in eight starts since being acquired from Seattle on July 31.

Twins 5, Indians 4 MINNEAPOLIS

Nick Punto had three hits

and two RBIs for Minnesota. Brian Buscher had a go-ahead RBI single in a two-run sixth inning and Jon Rauch (3-1) pitched 1 1-3 innings of scoreless relief, helping the Twins pull within 4 1/2 games of first-place Detroit in the AL Central.

Athletics 6, Rangers 1 ARLINGTON, TEXAS

Rajai Davis scored the first run then matched a career best with four RBIs for Oakland. Texas is 1-4 on its homestand and 5 1/2 games behind AL wild-card leader Boston. The Rangers have their largest deficit for a playoff spot all season with only 18 games left. David Murphy’s leadoff homer in the fourth snapped the Rangers’ 22-inning scoreless streak, their longest in five years, but they were down 4-1 and didn’t score again.

White Sox 6, Mariners 3 SEATTLE

A.J. Pierzynski hit a two-run, go-ahead single in the seventh inning, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Seattle Mariners, 6-3, on Tuesday night. Shawn Kelley (4-3) gave up a pair of singles to lead off the inning. The White Sox then broke the game open, taking advantage of a shaky Seattle bullpen. Pierzynski got his hit off Mark Lowe.

Diamondbacks 4, Padres 2 SAN DIEGO

Mark Reynolds hit a tworun homer in the ninth inning off closer Heath Bell, leading the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 4-2 win against the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night. Reynolds hit his 42nd homer on a 3-1 pitch from Bell (5-4) into the left-field stands to give the Diamondbacks their second straight win after having dropped nine of their previous 10. Reynolds struck out twice to up his season total to 196. San Diego lost consecutive games for the first time since Aug. 22 and 23 against St. Louis.

Dodgers 5, Pirates 4 LOS ANGELES

Andre Ethier hit a tworun homer in the 13th inning — his major league-leading sixth walkoff hit of the season — giving the Los Angeles Dodgers a 5-4 victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night. Four of Ethier’s game-ending hits have been home runs. The National League West-leading Dodgers moved five games ahead of Colorado, which lost 10-2 at San Francisco.

post adjutant Jim Stanko, an Army veteran and 23-year Legionnaire. Steamboat’s charter group had 40 members. These days, Post No. 44 has almost 90 members. They meet four times a year and host several community services and celebrations. The post puts on a Memorial Day service at the Steamboat Springs Cemetery with the local VFW post; provides honor guard for an average of five funerals annually; provides color guard for various events and sponsors an American Legion league baseball team. All three Routt County American Legion posts send candidates to Boys State each summer. Instead of hosting its annual Veterans Day dinner this year, the post plans to hold a United Service Organizations, or USO, fundraiser and dance with music from the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s on Nov. 7, Stanko said. “The Legion, over the years since its existence it’s been a major force in advocating veterans’ rights, and we’re glad Congress took the chance to

recognize us on our 90th birthday,” Stanko said.

Post No. 189 Yampa native and Legionnaire Ed Farrington has been a member of Post No. 189 for about 65 years, or about as long as it’s been chartered. A World War II veteran, Farrington signed up for the organization after serving in the Navy, and through the years has held every Legion officer position that exists. The charter includes several members who have been on the roster for more than 50 years, he said, and draws close to 20 veterans each year for its Memorial Day service at the Yampa Cemetery. Post No. 189 meets once a month. In addition to Memorial Day, the group celebrates Flag Day; leads the Yampa Fourth of July parade; and sponsors a skating rink behind its hall. The group holds a Veterans Day dinner; hosts memorials for deceased veterans; is involved in community projects; and sponsors Labor Day bingo in Oak Creek. The post’s 2009 candidate for Boys State, Soroco High School senior Matt Watwood, was one

of two Colorado representatives at Boys Nation in Washington, D.C., in July.

Post No. 89 The Benjamin J. Hofstetter Post No. 89 in Hayden has been around since the early 1920s, said member and former post commander Ron Nereson. Nereson served in the Army during the Vietnam War and joined the American Legion in 1971. Since the late ’50s, the group has held meetings in an old church that stood in one-time mining town Mount Harris. The group meets once a month and is involved in sponsoring an oratorical contest; sells concessions at the Hayden Speedway and the Routt County Fair; leads the fair parade; and holds a Memorial Day service and a community cookout; “The organization was put together to support veterans and veterans’ rights, but a lot of what we do here in Hayden is youth education,” Nereson said. For more information about Routt County American Legion posts, go to www.legion.org. — To reach Margaret Hair, call 871-4204 or e-mail mhair@steamboatpilot.com
