They’ll probably be a couple of tallies in the “no” column. “By adding that increased cost, that could convince some folks to fly into Denver and rent a car there,” Aaron Wiltfong said. “And that cuts the airport completely out of everything.” The Hayden Town Council

voted Aug. 6 to send two ordinances to voters. One would increase sales tax on car rentals by 3.5 percent, to 11.4 percent. The other would increase tax on accommodations by 3.5 percent, to 11.4 percent. The Wiltfongs expressed displeasure about several elements of the proposed car rental tax. One: The money isn’t earmarked for anything specific. Two: There’s

no end date. Three: Most of the people being taxed, tourists, can’t vote on the issue. Kay Wiltfong said she was particularly worried about the Town Council’s spending of the revenue. The town has had to make budget cuts, including decreasing staffing and hours. If the town already has overextended itself, See Tax, page 18

oday, I am a grumpy old lady. My joie de vivre is wadded up inside mogul-size mounds of tissues scattered all over the coffee table, and my usual sense of humor must be buried in there, as well. I feel peckish. As I lay underneath four blankets on the living room couch with a congested head and achy body, it is easy to convince myself this is the first stop on the express bus to swine flu. Excuse me, I mean H1N1. Besides being sick, there are homemade chocolate chip cookies in the kitchen, and given the choice between the cookies and chicken soup, which would you choose? Exactly. Scientists have neglected to research the medicinal properties of Tollhouse cookies, especially the kind I make, with real butter. Chocolate always makes me feel better, and chocolate and chicken soup together may pack the punch I need to send this cruddy

LIFE IN THE ’BOAT

Joanne Palmer head cold packing. Even though I don’t have a fever, I am tempted to apply a wet washcloth to my forehead. I come from a long line of wet washcloth people, and I’m sure my family tree would support this claim. My mother is a big believer in the wet washcloth, and as a child, a wet washcloth always was administered before a thermometer, soup or a bowl of ice chips. Besides the wet washcloth, she always brought a bell to my bedside so I wouldn’t have to strain my voice calling her. All I had to do was give a little ring and listen for her footsteps bounding up the stairs. “Nurse Jane FuzzyWuzzy,”

she’d say with a smile. What is making me grumpy today is the number of options available to the sick person. I know this a good thing, and in any other state besides a congested sneezing one, I wouldn’t despair. But somehow when I feel peckish and just want to get in and out of the grocery store in record speed, it is maddening to stand in front of the boxes of tissues trying to decide between extra soft, super soft with aloe or just scratchy cheap tissues that will make my nose redder and more swollen than it already is. Then I realize tissue is not a politically correct choice. I should be using a cloth bandanna or handkerchief instead of killing trees, and this realization makes me feel worse than I already do. The tissue choice is not nearly as overwhelming as the cold See Palmer, page 15

Before Dustin Dahlin met his wife, Kori, he was a roamer and a wanderer, taking solo trips abroad to immerse himself in different cultures and meet the people of the world. When he married Kori, his adventures didn’t stop, but he did gain some traveling partners. “On our honeymoon we took three weeks and rented a vehicle and drove around Peru,” Kori Dahlin said. Dustin Dahlin, 36, was killed in a one-car rollover crash on Twentymile Road on Sept. 16. He leaves behind his wife, two stepchildren, his mother and stepfather in Routt County. Kori Dahlin said her husband’s spontaneity often was a cause of

We all had to wait until March until we found out where we were going,” she said. The family ended up on the Caribbean island of Saba for that trip, Kori Dahlin said. Dustin Dahlin’s mother, Bert

Rundell, said her son’s love of travel sometimes perplexed her but was among his greatest assets. “Anybody who knew Dustin knew he loved to travel. That was a real important piece” of his personality, she said. “He would hire himself a guide and he would just go. I asked him once, ‘Why don’t you take anybody?’ and he said it really gives him a chance to get enmeshed in the culture and meeting the people in the culture.” Close friend Kristi Martenson said Dustin Dahlin liked to choose out-of-the way vacation spots. “What he does is he picks up the National Geographic and finds places he’s never been before, and he goes there.

COMMENTARY

Efforts improve summer diversity

ity of Steamboat Springs monthly sales tax reports have hardly been cause for celebration during the past six months. But there is a bright spot among the gloominess of the recession. Both the Steamboat AT ISSUE Springs Chamber Summer Resort Association tourism and Mainstreet Steamboat Springs deserve praise for their OUR VIEW initiative in starting Chamber and new summer events Mainstreet and improving existing Steamboat ones. It’s clear that the deserve kudos efforts of both groups moved the mark. for efforts Things certainly could to diversify have been a lot worse. tourism and By introducing boost summer new events such as tax receipts. the All Arts Festival, OktoberWest, Restaurant Week and the upcoming Sisters in Steamboat weekend, officials at the Chamber and Mainstreet Steamboat succeeded, to some degree, in diversifying our summer attractions and driving attendance by visitors and

locals. The new events were in addition to the existing ones organized by the entities, including Rainbow Weekend, the weekly downtown Farmers Market, Wild West Air Fest, Fourth of July Weekend and the Mustang Roundup. And the Steamboat Wine Festival continues to gain momentum as an annual event attracting folks from beyond the Yampa Valley. What’s more impressive is that the Chamber and Mainstreet added new events this year while having less money to work with than in previous years. Both groups saw a decrease in the funding they receive from the city. And while we don’t doubt the summer was stressful for the hard-working employees and board members of both, those efforts certainly are worthy of acknowledgement. Unfortunately, there’s little time to sit around and pat each other on the back. As the city of Steamboat Springs, the Chamber, Mainstreet and many other area businesses begin assembling their 2010 budgets in the coming weeks, it’s important to remember the significance of marketing. Now is not the time to further

slash marketing efforts. Instead, we should discuss how we can build off of the small successes of this year and propel them forward for 2010 and beyond. Triple Crown baseball tournaments have long been a source of contention in our community. Nonetheless, we have consistently supported efforts by the city and the Chamber to keep Triple Crown tournaments returning to Routt County each summer, particularly in the absence of other events to replace revenues created by the traveling youth baseball tournaments. Triple Crown events and attendance were scaled back this year, and it appears Triple Crown officials are OK with leaving it that way. Starting and building on events such as All Arts Festival, OktoberWest and Sisters in Steamboat could not only make such a scaling back of Triple Crown palatable, but also more lucrative for Steamboat Springs and its businesses. The Chamber and Mainstreet showed in recent months how marketing and ingenuity can create a more diverse, vibrant summer in the Yampa Valley, and we applaud their efforts.

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

War through weakness Cal Thomas

When I was a kid, there was a bully in our neighborhood. He never picked on kids his own size and certainly not on anyone larger. Rather, he punched, pushed and kicked kids smaller and weaker than himself, especially those who refused to respond to his threats. Stirred by his adversaries’ impotent responses, the bully felt free to slug anyone he fancied. Most kids tried to avoid him, thinking their demonstration of weakness might protect them

It is why some choose to arm themselves, install alarm systems on their homes, own large dogs and learn self-defense.

�� Fear of America needs to be restored

��

American lamb? If our foreign adversaries believe America will not respond to aggression, we’ll get more aggression. In 1956, Hungarian freedom fighters believed the United States would come to their aid against the occupying Soviets. When we didn’t, the tanks rolled in and many were killed. When President John F. Kennedy met Soviet dictator Nikita Khrushchev in Vienna in 1961, Khrushchev concluded that Kennedy was weak. This conclusion precipitated the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, which nearly led to nuclear war. Then there was Vietnam, which some still believe America abandoned before it finished the job. Osama bin Laden believes this. He has cited Vietnam as his main reason for believing he can outlast the U.S. in the terrorist war. There was a time when America was feared. That time has passed. Either we restore it or we’ll live — or die — to regret it.

week when President Barack Obama speaks to the United Nations and talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Bullies like Abbas, and the people he represents, love to negotiate with the West because it weakens us and bolsters their spirit. We give, and they take without giving anything in return. The Middle East is a textbook example of failed negotiations between unequals. In the days of Al Capone, individuals and businesses bought “protection” from the mob. Today, no public or private insurance policy is available to protect us from predatory nations or terrorist organizations. A punch in the nose — or the threat of one — still deters bullies far better than signed agreements, which they have no intention of honoring. Why have the world’s bullies suddenly become more

galvanized against the West, especially the United States? It’s because they believe President Obama’s loftiness about talking to despots instead of standing up to them demonstrates weakness. So we’re going to talk (again) to North Korea’s Kim Jong-Il about dismantling his nuclear weapons program when he has refused to honor previous promises to cease and desist. With his track record, why would we believe any agreement he signs the next time? When tyrants such as Iran’s Ahmadinejad, Venezuela’s Chavez, Cuba’s Castro and, increasingly, Russia’s Putin, see a foreign affairs novice like Obama they may believe his pocket can be picked. History — and human nature — has shown that appeasing evil begets more evil. Does the President believe that he has something of a divine gift? Will the sound of his voice and his steely glare compel the tyrannical lion to lie down with the peace-loving and docile

Song Mountain tolled heavily

��

Commissioners up the ante on controversial development to Steamboat Springs

The controversial Song Mountain development in Stagecoach — the largest proposed subdivision reviewed by the county in 35 years — received two preliminary approvals Tuesday, but county commissioners heaved a number of new requirements on the project. The Routt County Board of Commissioners also made clear that Tuesday’s approvals are no indication of the development’s future success and said they are not willing to bargain on the new conditions. Commissioners Doug Monger and Nancy Stahoviak voted in favor of a sketch plan subdivision and conceptual planned unit development for the project. Commissioner Diane Mitsch Bush voted against the plans because she does not think the development is consistent with the county’s zoning regulations and master plans. Developer Ji-ang Song hopes to receive approval for a plan allowing 272 lots on 896 acres just east of Stagecoach Reservoir. Mitsch Bush called it “far too intense a use for the area.” The next submission required of Song, should his

development move forward, is a preliminary subdivision application. “It increased the project cost a substantial amount,” Song said of the conditions added by commissioners Tuesday, “so I need to go back to see what this all means.” The additional conditions included additional study of the development’s visual impacts; a requirement that homes in the development only be allowed one woodburning appliance, which must be low-emission and energyefficient; and a requirement that the developer reconstruct

Routt County Road 16 from C.R. 18A to the project’s secondary entrance, and widen the road to 36 feet. The latter is a substantial improvement that would provide for 12-foot paved travel lanes, 3-foot paved shoulders and 3-foot gravel shoulders on a section of the county road. The commissioners removed specific references to a contribution to the South Routt School District from their conditions but said such a contribution would be evaluated as part of the development’s

Una pequeña clase no desanimó a la maestra de Estudiantes Aprendiendo Inglés (ELL, por sus siglas en inglés) Tiffany Gebhart que estuvo muy entusiasmada la semana pasada. La profesora Gebhard estaba llena de alegría el martes por la mañana trabajando con un grupo de seis alumnos de educación inicial en la Escuela Primaria Soda Creek. Gebhardt dijo que se necesitaba de mucho esfuerzo para sintonizar con un grupo de alumnos de aprendizaje de Inglés de 5- 6 años por primera vez. Una de las actividades con sus estudiantes era cantar canciones. “Yo soy especial, soy yo. Nadie camina de la forma como yo lo hago. Nadie habla de la forma como yo lo hago. Nadie juega de la forma como yo juego” Gebhardt, cuyos estudiantes de lenguas nativas incluyendo Español, Mandarín, Uzbe y Haitian Creole, enfatizó e hizo

mímica para las palabras “caminar” “hablar” y “jugar”, las tres palabras con las que sus estudiantes trabajaron aquella mañana. “Si estoy entusiasmada, esto incrementará su comprensión” dijo ella. “Este grupo está en una fase temprana del aprendizaje del idioma.” En la escuela de la ciudad de Steamboat Springs Gebhardt y otros profesores de ELL tienen clases muy reducidas este año, con bajas matrículas después de muchos años de continuo crecimiento. Las cifras del 2009-10 son las que se tenían la semana pasada. Las ciudades no cuentan todavía la cantidad de alumnos que tienen, lo cual determina cuántos fondos recibirán del estado hasta el 1ro de octubre.

Chamber Resort Association’s Membership Survey Help the Chamber strengthen local businesses through participation in the 2009 survey After a successful summer of “Steamboat in the Summertime” special events, the fall holds new opportunities and fresh perspective for the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association. It is at this time of year that the Chamber switches gears and focuses on planning, preparation and how to better serve our membership and community in 2010. The goal of the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association is to support and sustain a vibrant, healthy economy. The Chamber is continuously striving to provide exceptional customer service and benefits that members find valuable for their investment in the Chamber. The Chamber Membership Survey is a key component of how this multifaceted organization gathers information about what is most important to local business membership. Receiving feedback from members is one of the only ways the Chamber is able to improve services and help the organization evaluate the value of benefits for its members. Starting Wednesday, the 2009 Chamber Membership Survey will be opened and an anonymous forum will be available for members to express their thoughts and concerns about how the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association operates and represents the community. It is important to remember that participation is extremely significant, and members’

feedback is critical for accurate results. The 2009 survey will cover the following key areas: ■ Business Information: A basic snapshot of what businesses the Chamber represents and their current economic status. Necessary demographics are collected as well as obtaining a pulse on tourismrelated issues. ■ Community Issues and Areas of Involvement: Questions regarding challenges facing local businesses and what the most important issues the Chamber should focus on; future community planning. ■ Communication: The Chamber continues to evolve and create new ways to keep their member base informed about community issues and events. Recognizing communication is key, questions in this section relate to how members like to receive Chamber news, and what publications are most valuable. ■ Chamber Membership and Benefits: Of the many Chamber member benefits, what do members find most valuable?

ships and grasp what new benefits or services the Chamber should work to provide. ■ Special Events and Activities: Tourism is a major part of our economic vitality. Businesses are asked to weigh in on how events affect their business as well as gain information about what else the Chamber should support. ■ Overall Satisfaction: Use the opportunity to share thoughts about how the Steamboat Chamber represents businesses as far as professionalism, knowledge and expertise, response time for requests, and overall community representation. Also provide any comments or suggestions as to how the Chamber can better serve businesses. “In the past, the Chamber has been able to use the results of the Membership Survey as a compass, showing us the topics, issues and political concerns that are most important to our membership,” said Sandy Evans Hall, executive vice president at the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association. “This year, as the Chamber team works to bring members more value with no increase in dues, involvement and input into the Membership Survey is more important than ever. We are also aware that a changing economic environment requires a change in the way we do business. We want to know how we can meet the changing needs of our members.” Especially in the current economic environment, the Chamber will be working to make sure all efforts are efficient to promote local businesses. Not only must

the Chamber be efficient, but results from this survey will help facilitate prioritization and precedence. “Members who choose to complete the survey are essentially casting their vote on how they want the Chamber Resort Association to handle circumstances in the coming year,” notes Eric Friese, membership sales manager at the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association. “The survey results are essentially the blueprint we work off of for the coming year. We take the outcomes seriously and encourage all business to participate.” The best part of the 2009 Membership Survey is how simple it is to use and how quick it is to complete. By far,

this is the easiest way for businesses to be involved in longterm community planning and to have their top issues noticed and recognized. By finishing this survey, ownership is established between the business community and Steamboat Springs’ future. Seize the opportunity. The Chamber Membership Survey can be found online starting today at www.steamboatchamber. com/survey. The survey’s format is very straightforward, it is easy to fill out and all answers are anonymous. In less than 10 minutes, the input that is compiled from the 2009 Member Survey will help fuel many decisions that the Chamber will make in the next year.

Plays on vintage Italian landscapes, country scenes and market posters were local artist Mari Mack’s canvas for a new collection of art opening Thursday at Mambo Italiano. “They’re all very Italianinspired,” Mack said about the work, which now belongs to Mambo Italiano. “I have an Italian landscape, and I have a couple … 1920s pinup girls with martinis for the bar area. Everything I do is a little bit whimsical, a little bit modern, so it’s really been fun to kind of tie all those things together and try something new with the pieces,” she said. Mambo Italiano owner and operator Andrew George commissioned Mack to do about 20 new oil paintings for his restaurant’s walls and said the few he had seen as of Tuesday morning fit well with Mambo’s atmosphere. In addition to modern takes on vintage images, Mack included three differently colored Andy Warholinspired paintings of a girl on a Vespa. “We’re not super polished, we’re not super high-end, so I’m kind of looking for something fun and unique that has an Italian theme,” George said. Mack’s work goes on display at Mambo Italiano with a party from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday at the restaurant. The Steamboat Jazz Quartet — with Andy Pratt on piano and vocals, Ron Wheeler on drums, John Fairlie on saxophone, Tim Cunningham on bass and Jody Feeley on guest vocals — is scheduled to provide live music during the reception. There will be specials at the bar including $2 pints of New Belgium beers and half-price wine, and plates of free appetizers will be circulating during the event.

BLYTHE TERRELL/STAFF

HAYDEN

Kathy and Shawn Sulzner were bellied up to the Creek View Grill bar again Tuesday, enjoying lunch after the restaurant’s unexpected four-day closure. They typically eat at the west Hayden restaurant “a couple times a week,” Kathy Sulzner said. “They have great food.” The Colorado Department of Revenue closed the Creek View on Thursday because the restaurant was behind in paying state sales tax, owner Phillip Davis said. He paid the $8,000 owed and reopened Tuesday. There was “no warning,” Davis said. “They just came in and said, ‘You’re shut.’” He said the restaurant had struggled to generate enough in sales to pay what it owed. Like other businesses struck by

recession, Creek View has had a tough time, Davis said. He plans to continue trying to attract customers with $6 weeknight specials and $6 brown bag to-go lunches. Davis and Steve Chamberlain took over the restaurant a year ago from developers Stefanus and Louis Nijsten. The brothers are building Creek View Townhomes and Plaza, a development behind the restaurant that comprises townhouses, condominiums and commercial spaces. They were running the restaurant, too, but preferred to focus on building. Davis said he no longer has a partner in Creek View. The Sulzners said the grill was their favorite place to eat in town and were disappointed to see the “seized” signs on the windows last week. The couple noticed that the signs had been taken down Tuesday and

stopped by at about noon. Kathy Sulzner said she liked Davis and wanted to support the restaurant. “He works hard,” she said. “He’s the only one here night and day.” Nothing has changed at the restaurant, Davis said. “Same great food, same great service,” he said.

When sick, kindness helps Palmer continued from 2 medicine choices — all of which are probably not as effective as the wet washcloth — but there are four-hour cold remedies, eight-hour cold remedies, 24hour cold remedies, middle-ofthe-night remedies and middleof-the-day remedies, and they all blur together. Maybe I need cough drops and a heating pad, too. And a magnifying glass to read the list of ingredients and side effects. After making these mindnumbing decisions, I headed for the car. Halfway across the lot,

my plastic bag (shame on me) ripped open and my glass bottle of tomato sauce shattered, my boxes of tissues flew into the air and my cold medicine sat in a heap in the middle of a parking lot while sleeting, cold, couldbe-snow rain fell on top of the whole sad pile. And me. I just stood there sneezing, unable to take any action. Fortunately, the store employees arrived quickly, graciously guided me back into the store, double-bagged my groceries and replaced the tomato sauce. I felt better already, which just goes to show that kindness is really the best remedy of all.

never heard of before, places that aren’t big tourist spots,” she said. “He had no fear of going anywhere; I had the fear for him,” Bert Rundell said. After graduating from high school in Spokane, Wash., Dustin Dahlin moved to Steamboat Springs in 1991 to attend Colorado Mountain College’s Alpine Campus. His mother said skiing got in the way of his studies and that Dustin never finished the program. “He was a beautiful skier,” Bert Rundell said. “Somebody recently told me he was poetry in motion.” Dustin Dahlin began working at the Holiday Inn Greenhouse restaurant, where he met Martenson. Bert Rundell and her husband, Bob Rundell, bought and developed the Grease Monkey beginning in 1997 and Big O Tires in 2002. As those stores became operational, Dustin Dahlin took over as general manager of both. Bob Rundell said Dustin Dahlin was never a big mechanic — Bob Rundell had to prod him to change his oil when he was a teenager — but he liked to work with the customers. “The thing about Dustin, and I think everybody who knew him knew, (is that) he loved his cus-

Extension office to host free mitigation clinic Thursday

Increasing risk In its press release Tuesday, the World Health Organization recommended the United States lower its action threshold to 2.7 pCi/L, which nearly doubles the estimated number of U.S. homes needing radon control systems from 8 million to 15 million. With the exception of Eagle County, Routt County is surrounded by counties designated as high-risk areas by the EPA,

and Massey thinks Routt’s radon risk may be higher than estimated. She bases that claim on test results gathered since the extension office started providing free radon test kits to county residents. “We have over the last several years done a lot of testing and found that there’s more radon than we expected,” said Massey, who said free test kits are still available at the Extension Office in the Routt County Courthouse annex. “You don’t know until you start testing.” Test kits also are available at hardware and home improvement stores, and range in cost from $10 to $40. The cost of reducing radon levels in a home can range from $800 to $2,500 for an existing home. Installing systems during new home construction is as inexpensive as $350 to $500. A typical and effective radon mitigation system is called “sub-slab depressurization.” It involves piping from a per-

fund assists 200 children and is paid for by contributions from the city of Steamboat Springs, Routt County and United Way of Routt County. Martin said First Impressions couldn’t ask those entities for more funding She said funding sources for First Impressions have allowed

the organization to continue offering services to area families but have not allowed it to grow during a time when the need is greater than ever. For more information or to RSVP to today’s event, call Martin at 870-5270. — Contact Jack Weinstein at 871-4203 or email jweinstein@steamboatpilot.com

stronger action against indoor radon. “We want people to know (radon mitigation is) relatively easy, and it can be fairly low cost if they know how to do it right,” Massey said Monday. Doug Kladder, author of “Protecting Your Home From Radon,” will broadcast from his office at the Center for Environmental Research and Technology in Colorado Springs. Massey and Greg Pohlman, a local certified radon mitigation provider, also will participate in the clinic. “Overall, 40 percent of homes in Colorado and schools are known to have heightened levels of radon,” said Kladder, who said his primary message at Thursday’s clinic will be “all homes can be fixed.” Routt County is designated as a moderate-risk area for radon by the Environmental Protection Agency, meaning the

average home is predicted to have radon levels between 2 and 4 picocuries of radon per liter of air. The latter level is the threshold at which the EPA recommends taking action. With exposure to radon at 4 pCi/L during a lifetime, a nonsmoker’s risk of contracting lung cancer from radon exposure is about the same as dying in a car crash, according to the EPA. The risk increases for smokers, for former smokers and at higher radon levels.

Tax continued from 1

Wiltfong said, she doesn’t want to give it money for more of the same. “The Town Council’s going to get a blank check to use as they see fit,” she said. “This is not a temporary thing just to get them through the hardships. This is a permanent thing.” The proposed taxes have drawn the attention of Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp., YVRA Manager Dave Ruppel and the Routt County Board of Commissioners. Although none has come out against the ballot measures, all have questioned the impact the tax might have. Currently, 33 percent of the car rental cost covers taxes and fees. If the tax passes, that would increase to 37 percent. Town Manager Russ Martin has countered that other entities already draw taxes and fees from car rentals. His argument asks why the lid should slam on only the last hand in the cookie jar. Aaron Wiltfong met that question with an “if everyone else jumped off the cliff” statement. He sees no reason one business should be targeted instead of others. Town Council members have said YVRA is an untapped resource. Other airports charge hefty fees, and some cities charge taxis for each person they pick up. According to Kay Wiltfong’s research, the tax increase would

give YVRA the highest car rental taxes of all airports in the state: 13.4 percent. That number accounts for all taxes placed on car rentals at YVRA, not just the sales tax increase proposed in the ballot measure.

Tourism turn-off? Representatives from the lodging industry haven’t yet commented. That’s probably because Hayden’s only lodging property, the Redstone Motel, offers few short-term rooms. Owners couldn’t be reached for comment Tuesday. According to the ballot language, the accommodations tax is expected to increase only $1,200 its first year, compared with more than $100,000 for the car rental tax. Christine O’Donnell, president of the Colorado Hotel & Lodging Association, said municipalities often head this direction in downturns. “I can tell you that when times get tough, local cities and counties look for ways to increase their own revenues through tax dollars, so unfortunately, it’s not unusual for lodging taxes and anything that would be considered a tourist passed-on tax,” O’Donnell said. Customers already experience sticker shock when they have to pay taxes and fees on pre-paid car rentals, Aaron Wiltfong said. O’Donnell noted that there was a breaking point.

“Any taxes on airports, generally it can come to the point where the consumer will actually be turned off from that, so they’ll actually lose revenue in the long term,” she said. O’Donnell also cautioned that towns could give business to nearby communities if they raise taxes. Aaron Wiltfong said a car rental tax would give business to the competition. Go Alpine General Manager Tracey Rogalski said her business offers shared shuttles and private rides to and from YVRA. “We think it’s not really going to do a whole lot,” she said. “It seems to us people either want to rent cars because they like that independence, or they don’t want to drive in the snow. … It comes down to a personal decision on the guest’s part.” The Wiltfongs acknowledged that tourists accounted for most of their business during ski season. But they said they serve local businesses and employ local people. YVRA rental car revenues were down 20 percent the first seven months of this year compared with 2008, they said, and they’ve laid off workers. “It’s not that I’m totally against any kind of levy against my business,” Aaron Wiltfong said. “It’s where it goes, who’s getting it and how long it’s going to be there.” — To reach Blythe Terrell, call 871-4234 or e-mail bterrell@steamboatpilot.com

Aspen falls in rankings

��

Magazine readers take note of town’s charm, price, even bears THE ASPEN TIMES

ASPEN

Aspen and its namesake mountain earned praise for everything from its steep terrain to toning down the celebrity glitz in the Ski Magazine resort rankings. But the price of an Aspen ski vacation, the travel hassles and even the bear problem got ripped as weaknesses. Ski Magazine has conducted reader surveys for 23 years to rank the resorts of North America. Aspen Mountain slipped to 14 in the rankings this year, after coming in seventh last year. Snowmass fell in the Ski Magazine survey from four to six. Highlands moved up to 17 from 18. Steamboat ranked No. 10. The top three resorts were Deer Valley, Utah; WhistlerBlackcomb, B.C.; and Vail. Arguably more revealing than Aspen’s ranking, however, are the comments from survey respondents.

to this: “Classic mountain and town, recommended. Not just for the rich and famous.” The comments were made available by Ski Magazine executive editor Greg Ditrinco, a former Aspen Daily News reporter. Aspen’s relative isolation bothered some respondents. A person who identified accessibility as a weakness wrote: “Aspen’s airport is great, once you’re on the ground.” At least three respondents complained about the experience of skiing through Kleenex Corner and Upper Little Nell to get off the mountain, something the ski company might hear more about as skiers age. “Lacks a decent way to the bottom,” wrote one. “Bottom is usually terrible funneling into Kleenex Corner and down,” wrote another. One respondent listed, “The scene” as a strength as well as a weakness. And in a sign of the times, it was inevitable that someone identified a weakness as, “Too many bears.”

“A fabulous mountain that skis bigger than it is once you learn it,” wrote one perceptive skier in the general comments of the magazine’s survey. “The place everyone wishes they could ski,” observed another. It wasn’t clear if that comment referred to skill level or wallet size. “Better without Hollywood,” wrote one respondent on the changing Aspen scene. The Aspen Skiing Co. and Aspen Chamber Resort Association couldn’t have dreamed up better endorsements than what some respondents provided. “My favorite in Colorado,” one respondent gushed. “Excellent ski conditions at all four resorts. Very good service with friendly and helpful staff. ... Never that crowded, either. Good for all skier types. Not as corporate as Vail-owned resorts.” Aspen Mountain “packs a big punch,” one respondent said.” Another survey respondent boiled his or her experience

Woman appeals pot verdict THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AROUND COLORADO DENVER

A woman who claims she was a medical marijuana provider to clients she never met is appealing her conviction on drug charges, saying she wants another trial to prove she’s not a criminal. Attorneys for Stacy Clendenin presented arguments �� on her behalf Tuesday at the Colorado Court of Appeals in � �� a courtroom that was packed with about 60 spectators. �� “I hope they’ll allow me to have a new trial and prove that I’m not a drug dealer,” Clendenin said after the hearing. Medical marijuana use is legal in Colorado, but municipalities have been recently struggling to come up with regulations for dispensaries as the number of registered users in the state continues to increase. Colorado doesn’t license or regulate dispensaries. Clendenin was convicted in Boulder County of charges that included cultivation of marijuana and possession with intent to distribute. She was sentenced in February 2008 to one year of unsupervised probation and 48 ALL TREES/PLANTS ON SALE hours of community service. AT THE GARDEN CENTER! Prosecutors argue that someone who doesn’t have personal contact with clients cannot be their medical marijuana provider.

Trial under way in lawsuit about rented ski passes BRECKENRIDGE

Jury selection is under way in a trial about whether the owners of lifetime ski passes at Colorado’s Keystone resort can rent them out to others. Early investors in the resort were granted lifetime passes, and some of those pass holders make extra cash by renting them. Vail Resorts bought Keystone in 1996 and announced in 2006 it no longer would honor the passes if they were rented out. More than 20 pass holders sued, asking a judge to order Vail Resorts to honor rented passes and award them punitive damages for lost rental income. Jury selection started Monday. Vail Resorts declined to comment directly about the case.

Up to 16 inches of snow forecast in high elevations DENVER

Colorado is bracing for a second wave of wintry weather, with as much as 16 inches of

snow expected in the mountains by this afternoon. The National Weather Service says heavy snowfall at lower elevations and rain in Denver and elsewhere could make travel hazardous. The Weather Service predicts the deepest accumulation will be above 6,500 feet elevation, with depths of 6 to 16 inches above 7,000 feet. A winter storm warning will be in effect for the northern and central mountains from midnight Tuesday until 6 p.m. today. On Monday, at least 3 inches of snow fell in parts of the foothills west of Denver.

A woman was taken to the hospital after a bull elk attacked her outside her house in the foothills west of Denver. Colorado Division of Wildlife spokeswoman Jennifer Churchill says the 47-year-old woman was leaving her home in Evergreen on Tuesday morning and was attacked when she got out of her car to go back inside. The woman called her husband, who called 911. Churchill says the woman’s injuries weren’t life-threatening, but doesn’t know her condition. Churchill says the woman didn’t immediately remember what happened. The woman’s name wasn’t released. It’s mating season for elk, and Churchill say it’s common for bulls to be more aggressive.

Stadiums, hotels on alert Federal government expands terrorism plot warning Tom Hays and Devlin Barrett THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK

The government expanded a terrorism warning from transit systems to U.S. stadiums, hotels and entertainment complexes as investigators searched for more suspects Tuesday in a possible al-Qaida plot to set off hydrogen-peroxide bombs hidden in backpacks. Police bolstered their presence at high-profile locations. Extra officers with bulletproof vests, rifles and dogs were

assigned to spots such as Grand Central Terminal in New York. Plainclothes officers handed out fliers at a nearby hotel with a warning in large block letters: “If you suspect terrorism, call the NYPD.” The warnings come amid an investigation focusing on Najibullah Zazi, a 24-year-old Denver airport shuttle driver who authorities say received al-Qaida explosives training in Pakistan and was found entering New York City two weeks ago with bomb-making instructions on his computer.

Zazi’s arrest last week in Colorado touched off the most intense flurry of government terrorism warnings and advisories to come to light since President Barack Obama took office. Although Zazi is charged only with lying to the government, law enforcement officials said he may have been plotting with others to detonate backpack bombs on New York trains in a scheme similar to the attacks on the London subway and Madrid’s rail system. Backpacks and cell phones were seized in raids on apartments Zazi visited in New York.

Floods claim victims in Southeast Kate Brumback

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUSTELL, GA.

Neighborhoods, schools and even roller coasters at Six Flags in Georgia were awash in several feet of murky, brown water Tuesday, and officials found a ninth storm victim who had been swept away from her car a day earlier. Georgia officials warned worried residents to wait for the floodwaters to recede before checking out their damaged homes, and in Tennessee, a retirement center was evacuated. Torrential Southeast rains

soaked the region for days, knocking motorists from cars and splitting at least one mobile home. A Tennessee man who jumped in the floodwaters was still missing. Washed-out roads and flooded freeways around metro Atlanta caused commuters headaches, and hundreds of residents sought refuge in shelters. About 120 residents of a Tennessee retirement center were evacuated by boats and trucks and others were ferried from low-lying neighborhoods and motels in a Chattanooga suburb as two nearby creeks continued to rise.

Georgia emergency officials said they were confident those in immediate danger had been evacuated, but they were concerned about residents attempting to return to their homes too soon. “We had people who were out safely but decided they wanted to get back in danger,” said Charley English, head of Georgia Emergency Management Agency. Gov. Sonny Perdue asked President Barack Obama to declare a state of emergency in Georgia and urged residents to stay away from flooded areas.

AROUND THE WORLD NEW YORK

Pressing for elusive Mideast peace, President Barack Obama on Tuesday challenged Israeli and Palestinians leaders to do more, saying it was time to “find a way forward.” It was the president’s most direct engagement yet on a problem that has vexed leaders for years. In a moment deep in symbolism but offering little expectation of any immediate breakthrough, Obama brought together Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas for their first three-way meeting. Obama’s words as the meeting got under way showed frustration with the looming gap between the two sides as the U.S. again tries to foster a deal. “Simply put, it is past time to talk about starting negotiations,” Obama said. “It is time to move forward.” Obama got specific with his expectations for both sides and outlined a timeline of steps for the coming weeks, eager to show momentum. He used the occasion of a U.N. General Assembly session to arrange the get-together, a high-stakes proposition, on the same day that he went before world leaders to proclaim a strong U.S. response to climate change and ask world partners to step up their efforts in that respect. His New York meetings set the stage for Obama to move to center stage later in this week when he hosts the G-20 summit

of leading industrial and developing nations, in Pittsburgh.

Financier investments embarrass Hezbollah TOURA, LEBANON

A Mideast version of the Bernie Madoff scandal is threatening to tarnish Hezbollah’s reputation in Lebanon for being incorruptible, and the powerful Shiite militant movement faces calls to bail out small investors to keep its position from being undercut. Hundreds of Lebanese sold land or drained their retirement savings and handed over the money to alah Ezzedine, a Shiite businessman with connections to Hezbollah. The anti-Israeli Hezbollah is on a U.S. list of terrorist organizations and maintains the strongest military force in Lebanon. For its Shiite followers, however, it is seen as a trusted quasi-government that provides social services and aid. The group gets substantial funding from Iran and paid out millions to rebuild the Shiite heartland in south Lebanon after a devastating 2006 war with Israel. Many investors put their trust in Ezzedine, principally because of the financier’s connections to Hezbollah and because of his reputation as a pious, respectable Shiite. Ezzedine’s investment company promised as much as 40 percent in annual returns, according to residents of this southern Lebanese village.

Ezzedine and his partner, Youssef Faour, have been arrested on suspicion of cheating investors out of hundreds of millions of dollars — perhaps as much as $1 billion, prosecutors say. Earlier this month, they were charged with fraudulent embezzlement, a crime punishable by 15 years in prison.

Zelaya, forced out of his country at gunpoint, triumphantly popped up in the capital Monday, telling captivated supporters that after three months of international exile and a secretive 15hour cross country journey, he was ready to lead again. Interim President Roberto Micheletti’s response was terse: Initially he said Zelaya was lying about being there, and then, Micheletti pressed Brazil to hand Zelaya over so he could be arrested under a warrant.

CHICAGO

The crowd at President Barack Obama’s victory rally stretched from one end of Grant Park to the other, spilling onto nearby sidewalks and streets. From Oprah Winfrey to bluecollar workers, downtown pulsed with elation and electricity. Almost a year after he won the Obama presidential election, Obama is at the center of another potentially transformative vote — one that could change his old neighborhood forever. Chicago’s bid for the 2016 Olympics doesn’t have a gleaming architectural masterpiece like the Bird’s Nest in Beijing. Its maps showing how very close athletes will be to their venues are impressive, but not exactly sexy. What Chicago does have is Obama, a charismatic and well-regarded figure internationally whose house (his permanent one, not the one where he currently lives) is a short walk from the planned Olympic stadium. Obama is still deciding whether to travel to Denmark before the International Olympic Committee’s Oct. 2 vote to award the 2016 Games. In the meantime, he’s working the phones and sending letters to IOC members in support of his adopted hometown. He’s also sending his wife, Michelle, one of the few people to rival her husband’s popularity, to Copenhagen along with top adviser and fellow Chicagoan Valerie Jarrett. But it’s the possibility of Obama’s presence that looms largest over the all-important vote. “He’s a fabulous ambassador for the United States and his own city,” said Dick Pound, a longtime IOC member from Canada. “He’s a transformational figure in the world today.

at home against DeBeque. “We have to focus on what the task is,” he said. “We’re lacking focus on the courts and playing with some poor forms at times. We have to think about the way we’re playing. It’s still a long season. I hope by the end of the season we’re playing the way we want.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

Henin aims for Wimbledon in return TENNIS BRUSSELS

Justine Henin is seeking the elusive Wimbledon title in her return to the WTA Tour. It’s the only Grand Slam the former top-ranked player hasn’t won. And it loomed large in her decision to end a one-year retirement from the sport. “It is a dream of mine,” Henin said Tuesday. “I want to work to get it. I make it a priority.” Barely a week after compatriot Kim Clijsters capped her comeback from retirement with a second U.S. Open title, Henin announced her return live on Belgian TV. Henin was one game away from victory in the Wimbledon semifinals in 2007 before losing to Marion Bartoli. Henin’s coach Carlos Rodriguez, who also will make a comeback, believes she can take the grasscourt title. “I can see her winning it,” Rodriguez told RTL-TVI network. “This fourth title, it is one of the reasons for coming back.”

Henin’s announcement capped an about-face from her “definitive decision” to retire last year, followed in recent weeks by “no comment,” until a smiling admission Tuesday that she truly missed the game too much. “A flame I thought was extinguished forever suddenly lit up again,” Henin said on TV. Her plans include exhibition tournaments in Charleroi, Belgium, and Dubai, to hone her skills before a competitive return at the Australian Open. “Justine is one of the great champions in the history of women’s tennis, and we, along with millions of her fans around the globe, are thrilled,” WTA Tour chairman Stacey Allaster said in a statement. “Justine is that rare athlete who decided to step away from the game at the height of her powers, and no doubt she will be a force to be reckoned with from the get go.” As Clijsters has proved,

America is behind these games,’ it’s a big difference.” Maybe all the difference. Rio de Janeiro is considered a slight favorite over Chicago, Madrid and Tokyo, with some IOC members enticed by the idea of taking the Olympics to South America for the first time. But the race is so tight the winner likely will be decided by only a couple of votes, and heads of state have been instrumental in recent decisions. “I always believed that it’s to our advantage to have the president there because he’s so highly esteemed,” Chicago 2016 chairman Patrick Ryan said. “But I also believe that most IOC members, before they go into the room to vote, know who they’re going to vote for.” News on Tuesday that federal officials have issued security bulletins to police around the nation about terrorists’ desire to attack stadiums, entertainment complexes and hotels is expected to have little, if any, impact. Security issues are hardly unique to the United States, and the Salt Lake City Games were staged less than six months after the Sept. 11 attacks. Despite being the nation’s third-largest city, Chicago was considered a long shot simply to win approval from the U.S. Olympic Committee to bid for the 2016 Games.

MLB ROUNDUP

Joel Pineiro allowed five hits in seven innings, Yadier Molina hit a two-run homer, and St. Louis inched closer to the National League Central title with an 11-2 win against Houston on Tuesday night.

Colby Rasmus added a solo shot as the Cardinals reduced their magic number for clinching the division to two. Pineiro (15-11) struck out four to win for the first time in four starts. The Astros have dropped nine straight, their longest skid since losing 10 straight in May 2007. Interim manager Dave Clark fell to 0-2 since replacing the fired Cecil Cooper on Monday.

Dodgers 14, Nationals 2 WASHINGTON

��

Rafael Furcal drove in four runs and Hiroki Kuroda allowed four hits in six innings for Los Angeles. The Dodgers’ sixth win in seven games lowered their magic number for clinching a postseason berth to three. Los Angeles would win its second straight NL West title for the first time since 1977-78 with any combination of Dodger wins and Colorado losses totaling seven.

Cubs 7, Brewers 2 MILWAUKEE

Derrek Lee hit his 35th homer and drove in two runs for a career-high 109 total in leading Chicago. The Cubs won their third straight since suspending Milton Bradley for the season and Lee has continued his sizzling September. He’s hitting .408 for the month and is 6 of 8 in this series with two home runs and six RBIs.

Reds 10, Pirates 4 PITTSBURGH

Scott Rolen had three hits and three RBIs, Joey Votto had three doubles and Cincinnati’s win meant Pittsburgh clinched its third straight last-place finish in the NL Central. Pittsburgh (56-93) lost for the 21st time in 24 games, the Pirates’ worst stretch since they lost 24 of 28 from July 13 to Aug. 15, 1985.

Mariners 4, Rays 3 ST. PETERSBURG, FLA.

Jose Lopez hit a tiebreaking home run in the eighth inning and Seattle beat Tampa Bay, 4-3, on Tuesday night, eliminating the defending American League champions from the postseason. Ichiro Suzuki had a two-run homer for the Mariners, who ended Tampa Bay’s four-game winning streak.

Anibal Sanchez allowed two hits in eight innings to beat Philadelphia for the first time in five career decisions and give Florida a doubleheader split. Joe Blanton gave up two hits in seven shutout innings to outpitch Marlins ace Josh Johnson in the first game win that reduced to five the Phillies’ magic number for clinching the NL East.

their chances for a postseason spot are slim. Atlanta began the day five games behind Colorado for the NL wild card and eight behind first-place Philadelphia in the NL East. Atlanta, which has won six straight road games and 10 of 12 overall, lost All-Star catcher Brian McCann to a bruised left wrist in the fourth.

Jair Jurrjens dominated New York again, and Yunel Escobar hit a two-run single for Atlanta. The surging Braves kept up their late playoff charge, though

CLEVELAND

Edwin Jackson pitched seven shutout innings and remained unbeaten against Cleveland this season as first-place Detroit remained 2 1/2 games in front of Minnesota in the AL Central. The Indians lost their ninth straight. In losing nine of 13, the Tigers let a season-high, seven-game lead on Sept. 6 slip to two over the Twins last weekend.

Twins 8, White Sox 6 CHICAGO

Michael Cuddyer hit a goahead home run in the sixth and Matt Tolbert homered in the same inning for Minnesota. The Twins won for the eighth time in nine games despite blowing two leads and getting a dismal start from Jeff

Manship. Orlando Cabrera hit a tworun homer and Jason Kubel added a solo shot for the Twins. Cuddyer finished 3 for 4 and a triple short of the cycle.

Royals 5, Red Sox 1 KANSAS CITY, MO.

Zack Greinke held Boston to two hits in six scoreless innings. Greinke (15-8) is 3-0 with an 0.26 ERA in his past five starts, allowing 18 hits and one earned run in 35 innings. With the stretch, Greinke has lowered his major league-leading ERA to 2.08. He became the first Royal to win at least 15 games in a season since Paul Byrd won 17 in 2002.

Blue Jays 6, Orioles 5 11 innings TORONTO

Aaron Hill doubled home the winning run in the bottom of the 11th inning and Toronto handed Baltimore its sixth straight loss. Hill, who hit a solo home run, reached 100 RBIs for the first time in his career. Facing right-hander Dennis Sarfate (0-1), the seventh Baltimore pitcher of the game, Jose Bautista walked to lead off the 11th.

Athletics 9, Rangers 1 OAKLAND, CALIF.

Kurt Suzuki and Daric Barton drove in two runs apiece, Trevor Cahill won his fourth straight decision and sthe Oakland Athletics clinched their first winning month in more than a year with an 91 victory against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night. Texas’ loss keeps the Rangers 6 1/2 games behind Boston in the AL Wild card and it clinched a postseason berth for the New York Yankees.

Yankees 6, Angles 5 ANAHEIM, CALIF.

Brett Gardner scored the tiebreaking run on Alex Rodriguez’s sacrifice fly in the ninth, and the New York Yankees celebrated clinching their 14th playoff appearance in 15 seasons Tuesday night with a 6-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.
