What some have billed as the most important issue to ever face the city of Steamboat Springs goes before City Council today for final consideration. Steamboat Springs City Manager Jon Roberts called the proposed Steamboat 700 annexation “the big gorilla,”

and outgoing council veteran Steve Ivancie described it as “probably one of the biggest things I’ve ever been associated with.” The proposal includes about 2,000 homes and about 380,000 square feet of commercial space on 487 acres adjacent to U.S. Highway 40 just west of city limits. Supporters say the project helps the city pay for several sorely needed improvements and accomplish community

goals such as the provision of affordable housing. Critics say the development’s impacts on traffic and city services are too great and its commitments are too weak. Should council approve the annexation, as it did in a preliminary 4-3 vote two weeks ago, it is not necessarily a done deal. City residents still would have the right to collect enough signatures to trigger the city’s referendum process, which

would force council to repeal the annexation ordinance or put it to a citywide vote. City Attorney Tony Lettunich will explain referendum procedures at today’s meeting. There’s also the possibility that City Council will table its consideration of the annexation, but City Council President Loui Antonucci said he expects a vote. See Council, page 14

eeling a little full of yourself ? Would it do you good to be knocked down a peg? I have the fix you seek. Never have I been so fascinated in the midst of suffering from a sudden onset of inferiority complex as when I settled in with the New York Times Wedding/Celebrations section during the weekend. Does everyone who gets hitched on the East Coast get their start in life by kicking butt at Yale before moving on to the London School of Economics and later obtaining a medical degree from Harvard? One could easily arrive at that conclusion from reading the Sunday Times. If you haven’t spent an hour with the wedding announcements at the back of the Times’ Sunday Style section, you’re missing out on a chance to glimpse the lifestyles of the rich

and brilliant. Just make sure you have a good grip on your sense of self-esteem before you begin reading. Take the case of Dr. Vanessa Bradford Kerry and Dr. Brian Vala Nahed, who were married Oct. 10 in Boston. She is the daughter of Sen. John Kerry and the late Julia S. Thorne, as reported by the Times’ Vincent M. Mallozzi. The groom is the son of Nooshin P. Nahed and Dr. Reza M. Nahed, of Los Angeles. Dr. Kerry graduated summa cum laude from Yale, picked

up her master’s degree in health policy, planning and financing from the London School of Economics and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Dr. Kerry came home to earn her medical degree cum laude from Harvard. Dr. Nahed graduated magna cum laude from UCLA and earned his medical degree cum laude from Yale. That’s all. They make a very handsome couple. And I found myself asking, “How did these brilliantly beautiful people find one another?” and, “How stupendously brilliant will their children turn out to be?” The newlyweds are residents at Mass General in Boston. They hit it off when he successfully negotiated a social gaffe perpetrated by another hospital worker over a cup of coffee. I See Ross, page 13

Bennett defends voting stance Ads tout record of public votes; not all issues made it that far

Campaign ads fact check

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

City Council candidate Kevin Bennett, whose campaign ads cite the need for a public vote on Steamboat 700, said Monday that his council didn’t seek a public vote on For more the adoption of the West Clerk’s office of Steamboat mails ballots Springs Area See page 4 Plan in 1999 partly because the community wouldn’t under stand the plan’s complexities. “We decid ed that no one would know what Bennett we were talking about; it was way too early,” Bennett said Monday about the lack of a public vote on the adoption of the WSSAP a decade ago, when he was coun cil president. “It takes years for these things to be understood.” More than any other City Council candidate this fall, Bennett is placing political ads that make strong state ments about local issues and his past record as an elected official. Bennett’s opponent, Cari Hermacinski, primarily has taken out ads touting broad statements about her goals and providing contact information. Among other positions, Ben nett repeatedly has used ads to support public votes on big city issues. “I will continue to include the

Steamboat traffic vs. Eisenhower Tunnel Claim: A campaign ad for City Council candidate Kevin Bennett, published on page 3 of the Oct. 7 Steamboat Today, states in reference to Steamboat 700: “Lincoln Avenue currently has about the same average daily volume of traffic as travels through Eisenhower Tunnel.” Facts: According to the city of Steamboat Springs’ most recent traffic study — the NEPA study conducted by Jacobs Engineering — there were 19,310 average daily trips at 13th Street and Lincoln Avenue in December 2008. The study projected that there were 31,282 average daily trips at that location during the summer of this year. The Colorado Department of Transportation reports that there were 31,559 average daily trips on Interstate 70 at the Eisenhower Tunnel for the entire year of 2008. That includes 32,771 average daily trips in December 2008. There were 39,536 average daily trips in July 2009. Verdict: According to CDOT numbers, the Eisenhower Tunnel sees about 8,000 more vehicles per day during summer months, and about 13,000 more vehicles per day during winter months. The winter comparison is the most accurate, because both numbers — the city’s NEPA study and CDOT’s traffic count — are actual vehicle counts from December 2008, not projections.

How much water? Claim: Another campaign ad for Bennett, published on page 9 of the Sept. 29 Steamboat Today, states in reference to Steamboat 700: “There is not enough water (owned by the city) in Fish Creek Reservoir to accommodate west Steamboat growth. Proponents claim the water is available by proposing to use 45 percent of our water reserves, needed in case of drought, fire, or other emergency.” Facts: The city’s storage rights in Fish Creek Reservoir are 2,518 acre-feet, according to the Mount Werner Water and Sanitation District. The most recent water demand report submitted by Steamboat 700 states a need for 1,111 acre-feet, or 44 percent of the city’s Fish Creek Reservoir allocation. Steamboat 700 also would be required to pay about $1 million to firm up existing city water rights in sources including the Elk River and Stagecoach Reservoir. Verdict: It’s true that Steamboat 700 proposes to use about 45 percent of the city’s water storage rights in Fish Creek Reservoir. But Bennett’s claim doesn’t acknowledge the city’s other water rights and sources. The nearly $1 million proposed payment from Steamboat 700 would help develop some of those rights, including an 8 cubic feet per second instream flow right from the Elk River and 552 acre-feet in Stagecoach Reservoir.

citizens’ vote on all major issues, as I have done in the past,” reads an online ad for Bennett at SteamboatPilot.com. But public votes did not occur on some of the major issues during his previous service on City Council. During Bennett’s tenure as a councilman from 1993 to

November 2001 — he was coun cil president from 1995 to 2001 — a public vote provided fund ing for Haymaker Golf Course. A 1999 public vote on a down town development authority, an effort to fund public improve ments, failed. There was no public vote See Bennett, page 15

When mail-in ballots are sent to Hayden voters beginning today, they’ll have to decide whether to adopt two tax measures that would boost town coffers as soon as 2010. If approved by voters, Referendum 2B, a 3.5 percent rental car tax increase at Yampa Valley Regional Airport would generate $143,500 next year, based on rental car figures from 2008. The second measure proposed on the ballot, Refer endum 2A, a 3.5 percent lodging tax increase, would affect only a few rooms at the Redstone Motel and generate about $1,200 next year. Neither proposed tax has a sunset. There’s nothing in the ballot language for either tax that specifies how the revenues would be spent. Supporters of the taxes say they would increase revenues without burdening Hayden residents. That’s because both taxes would be imposed primarily on visitors, Hayden Town Manager Russ Martin said.

Martin said it’s important for the town of Hayden to take advantage of a resource like YVRA. He said revenue generated from the car rental tax likely would be dedicated toward capital projects and reserves. Capital projects could include street work. The revenue wouldn’t be dedicated to town operations, Martin said. The car rental tax would take affect Jan. 1, 2010. YVRA Man ager Dave Ruppel said it’s difficult to say whether increased rental car taxes would affect tourist visits next year. “There’s some point out there where a guest is going to say, ‘That’s too much, I’m not going there,’” he said. “What is that point? I don’t know until people stop showing up.” Ruppel said the airport’s car rental fees and taxes — currently at 33 percent of the cost to rent a car, according to figures previously presented by Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. — would increase to 37 percent if the tax is approved, representing one of highest in the state. He said it’s important to look at the bigger picture — comparing what it costs to rent a car at YVRA versus other similar-sized airports. Of the current taxes and fees, the town of Hayden receives about 12 percent of that revenue. If the tax was approved, that number would increase to more than 20 percent. The state would get 25 percent, the county would get 2.7 percent and YVRA would get the remaining nearly 52 percent. Only Eagle County Regional Airport, with car rental fees and taxes equaling 38 percent of the cost to rent a car, would be higher than YVRA’s, according to Ski Corp. figures. And because rental car companies are charged a percentage of their gross revenue to locate

at the airport, Ruppel said if they lose business, the airport loses business. Kay Wiltfong, who operates Avis Rent A Car at YVRA, said the company’s business in 2009 was down 30 percent from the same period in 2008. She said business at Budget Rent A Car, which is operated by her husband, Aaron, was down 28 percent during the same period. She said advanced booking numbers for the upcoming ski season are looking “very bleak,” and implementing a tax increase wouldn’t help. “We have to do a certain amount of volume to justify us being (at the airport) and these companies surviving,” Wiltfong said. “So yeah, it’s pretty scary.” Wiltfong said a 4 percent increase in the cost of taxes and fees doesn’t sound like a lot, but when you spread it over the entire fleets at Avis and Budget, the number becomes “pretty significant.” Ski Corp. President Chris Diamond said he has expressed concerns about the rental car tax with the Hayden Town Council. Diamond said that although the amount of money generated by the increase wouldn’t be substantial, he understands its importance to Hayden. He added that Ski Corp. has not taken a position on the tax and was waiting to see what the voters decided. The Redstone Motel is Hayden’s only nightly lodging accommodation, thus it would be the only one affected by the proposed lodging tax increase. This year’s election is being conducted only by mail-in ballot. The Routt County Clerk and Recorder’s Office began distributing ballots to registered voters today. All ballots must be received by 7 p.m. Nov. 3. The Clerk and Recorder’s Office recommends returning ballots by mail no later than Oct. 29. — To reach Jack Weinstein, call 871-4203 or e-mail jweinstein@steamboatpilot.com

Commentary

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

Heckuva job, Barack Ross Douthat

The New York Times

This was Barack Obama’s chance. Here was an opportunity to cut himself free, in a stroke, from the baggage that’s weighed his presidency down — the implausible expectations, the utopian dreams, the messianic hoo-ha. Here was a place to draw a clean line between himself and all the overzealous Obamaphiles, at home and abroad, who poured their post-ChrisDouthat tian, post-Marxist yearnings into the vessel of his 2008 campaign. Here was a chance to establish himself, definitively, as an American president — too self-confident to accept an unearned accolade, and too instinctively democratic to go along with European humbug.

He didn’t take it. Instead, he took the Nobel Peace Prize. Big mistake. People have argued that you can’t turn down a Nobel. Please. Of course you can. Obama is a gifted rhetorician with world-class speechwriters. All he would have needed was a simple, graceful statement emphasizing the impossibility of accepting such an honor during his first year in office, with America’s armed forces still deep in two unfinished wars. Would the world have been offended? Well, to start with, the prize isn’t given out by an imaginary “world community.” It’s voted on and handed out by a committee of five obscure Norwegians. So turning it down would have been a slap in the face, yes, to Thorbjorn Jagland, Kaci Kullmann Five, Sissel Marie Ronbeck, Inger-Marie Ytterhorn and Agot Valle. But it wouldn’t have been a slap in the face to the Europeans

or the Africans, to Moscow or Beijing, or to any other population or great power that an American president should fret about offending. In any case, it will be far more offensive when Obama takes the stage in Oslo this November instead of Morgan Tsvangirai, Zimbabwe’s heroic opposition leader; or Thich Quang Do, the Buddhist monk and critic of Vietnam’s authoritarian regime; or Rebiya Kadeer, exiled from China for her labors on behalf of the oppressed Uighur minority; or anyone who has courted death this year protesting for democracy in the Islamic Republic of Iran. True, Obama didn’t ask for this. It was obvious, from his halting delivery and slightly shamefaced air last Friday, that he wishes the Nobel committee hadn’t put him in this spot. But he still wasn’t brave enough to tell it no. Obama gains nothing from the prize. See Douthat, page 9

Misguided monetary mentalities Paul Krugman

The New York Times

One lesson from the Great Depression is that you should never underestimate the destructive power of bad ideas. And some of the bad ideas that helped cause the Depression have, alas, proved all too durable: in modified form, they continue to influence economic debate today. What ideas am I talking about? The economic historian Peter Temin has argued that a key cause of the Krugman Depression was what he calls the “gold-standard mentality.” By this he means not just belief in the sacred importance of maintaining the gold value of one’s currency, but a set of associated attitudes: obsessive fear of inflation even in the face of deflation; opposition to easy credit, even

Mallard Fillmore

when the economy desperately needs it, on the grounds that it would be somehow corrupting; assertions that even if the government could create jobs it shouldn’t, because this would only be an “artificial” recovery. In the early 1930s, this mentality led governments to raise interest rates and slash spending, despite mass unemployment, in an attempt to defend their gold reserves. And even when countries went off gold, the prevailing mentality made them reluctant to cut rates and create jobs. But we’re past all that now. Or are we? America isn’t about to go back on the gold standard. But a modern version of the gold standard mentality is nonetheless exerting a growing influence on our economic discourse. And this new version of a bad old idea could undermine our chances for full recovery. Consider first the current uproar

about the declining international value of the dollar. The truth is that the falling dollar is good news. For one thing, it’s mainly the result of rising confidence: The dollar rose at the height of the financial crisis as panicked investors sought safe haven in America, and it’s falling again now that the fear is subsiding. And a lower dollar is good for U.S. exporters, helping us make the transition away from huge trade deficits to a more sustainable international position. But if you get your opinions from, say, The Wall Street Journal’s editorial page, you’re told that the falling dollar is a terrible thing, a sign that the world is losing faith in America (and especially, of course, in President Barack Obama). Something, you believe, must be done to stop the dollar’s slide. And in practice the dollar’s decline has become a See Krugman, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

PROPOSED STEAMBOAT 700 ANNEXATION UPCOMING PUBLIC HEARINGS

All interested parties are welcome to hear the application and give input for the Steamboat 700 Annexation petition for the West Steamboat Area. The Steamboat Springs Department of Planning & Community Development has scheduled the following meetings:

Steamboat 700 Annexation:

Annexation of 487 +/- acres in West Steamboat including development of approximately 2,000 dwelling units and approximately 380,000 square feet of commercial space.

9/29/09 & 10/13/09

No domestic constituency will become more favorably disposed to him because five Norwegians think he’s already changed the world — and the Republicans were just handed the punch line for an easy recession-era attack ad. (To quote the Democratic strategist Joe Trippi, anticipating the 30-second spots to come: “He got a Nobel Prize. What did you get? A pink slip.”) Overseas, there was nobody, from Paris to Peshawar, who woke up Friday more disposed to work with the United States because of the Nobel committee’s decision — and plenty of more seasoned statesman who woke up laughing. (Vladimir Putin probably hasn’t snickered this much since John McCain tried to persuade Americans that “we are all Georgians” during last year’s weeklong war.) Meanwhile, the prize makes

every foreign-policy problem Obama faces seem ever so slightly more burdensome. Now he’s the Nobel laureate who has to choose between escalating a counterinsurgency in Afghanistan or ceding ground to a theocratic mafia. He’s the Nobel laureate who’ll either have to authorize military strikes against Iran or construct an effective, ColdWar-style deterrence system for the Middle East. He’s the Nobel laureate who’ll probably fail, like every U.S. president before him, to prod Israelis and Palestinians toward a comprehensive settlement. At the same time, the prize leaves Obama more open to ridicule. It confirms, as a defining narrative of his presidency, the gap between his supporters’ cloud-cuckoo-land expectations and the inevitable disappointments of reality. It dovetails perfectly with the recent “Saturday Night Live” sketch in which he was depict-

ed boasting about a year’s worth of nonaccomplishments. And it revives and ratifies John McCain’s only successful campaign gambit — his portrayal of Obama as “the world’s biggest celebrity,” famous more for being famous than for any concrete political accomplishment. Great achievements still may await our Nobel president. If Obama goes from strength to strength, then this travesty will be remembered as a footnote to his administration, rather than a defining moment. But by accepting the prize, he’s made failure, if and when it comes, that much more embarrassing and difficult to bear. What’s more, he’s etched in stone the phrase with which critics will dismiss his presidency. Slick Willie. Tricky Dick. Jimmy “Malaise” Carter. Dubya the Incompetent. And now Barack Obama, Nobel laureate.

It’s crucial not to let mentality guide policy Krugman continued from 8 stick with which conservative members of Congress beat the Federal Reserve, pressuring the Fed to scale back its efforts to support the economy. We only can hope that the Fed stands up to this pressure. But there are worrying signs of a misguided monetary mentality within the Federal Reserve system itself. In recent weeks, there have been a number of statements from Fed officials, mainly but not only presidents of regional Federal Reserve banks, calling for an early return to tighter money, including higher interest rates. Now, people in the Federal Reserve system are usually extremely circumspect when making statements about future monetary policy, so as not to step on the efforts of the Fed’s Open Market Committee, which actually sets those rates,

to shape expectations. So it’s extraordinary to see all these officials suddenly breaking the implicit rules, in effect lecturing the Open Market Committee about what it should do. What’s even more extraordinary, however, is the idea that raising rates would make sense any time soon. After all, the unemployment rate is a horrifying 9.8 percent and still rising, while inflation is running well below the Fed’s long-term target. This suggests that the Fed should be in no hurry to tighten — in fact, standard policy rules of thumb suggest that interest rates should be left on hold for the next two years or more, or until the unemployment rate has fallen to around 7 percent. Yet some Fed officials want to pull the trigger on rates much sooner. To avoid a “Great Inflation,” says Charles Plosser, of the Philadelphia

Fed, “we will need to act well before unemployment rates and other measures of resource utilization have returned to acceptable levels.” Jeffrey Lacker, of the Richmond Fed, says that rates may need to rise even if “the unemployment rate hasn’t started falling yet.” I don’t know what analysis lies behind these itchy trigger fingers. But it probably isn’t about analysis, anyway — it’s about mentality, the sense that central banks are supposed to act tough, not provide easy credit. And it’s crucial that we don’t let this mentality guide policy. We do seem to have avoided a second Great Depression. But giving in to a modern version of our grandfathers’ prejudices would be a very good way to ensure the next worst thing: a prolonged era of sluggish growth and very high unemployment.

Sheriff’s budget holds steady Commissioners indicate they will not allow 2 new positions

Snow piling up north of Steamboat Springs Tom Ross

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The snow depth in the highest elevations of the Routt National Forest north of Steamboat Springs grew substantially dur ing the weekend. Remote snow-sensing devic es show that the depth at the Zirkel Snotel site on the east side of the Continental Divide increased from 1 inch on Oct. 8 to 20 inches as of mid-morning Monday. Closer to Steamboat, at the Tower Snotel site on Buffalo Pass, snow depth increased from 7 inches on Oct. 8 to 16 inches early Monday. The Zirkel weather station is at an elevation of 9,340 feet in the headwaters area of the North Platte River. The Tower measuring station sits at 10,500 feet about six miles northeast of Steamboat. The National Weather Service’s Grand Junction fore cast office predicts mild tem peratures in the mid- to high 50s in Steamboat for the bal ance of the week, with precipi tation returning today through Thursday. However, a pinpoint ed forecast for Buffalo Pass and the Park Range show the chance for additional snow increasing to 60 percent Wednesday.

Snow accumulation on Rabbit Ears Pass is less dramatic, with 3 inches at the West Summit and 1 inch at the Columbine site on the east side of the pass. The Colorado Avalanche Information Center has begun to monitor the new season’s snowpack but won’t begin updating avalanche conditions daily until November. However, the first report of people being caught in an ava lanche already has been logged. The Avalanche Center reports that two climbers were swept up in a small slide that broke loose Oct. 5 on the north side of 13,911-foot Mount Meeker in Rocky Mountain National Park. The climbers were unin jured. — To reach Tom Ross, call 871-4205 or e-mail tross@steamboatpilot.com

The budget for the Routt County Sheriff’s Office will hold steady for the coming year. During a budget presenta tion to the Routt County Board of Commissioners on Monday, Routt County Finance Director Dan Strnad spelled out a few minor changes, as well as a cou ple proposals, that likely will be turned down by the commis sioners before final adoption of the budget. The Sheriff ’s Office is expected to gain $47,850 in revenues in 2010, largely because the county adopted the Colorado Department of Transportation’s Model Traffic Code. That code, adopted early this year, increased the fines for traffic offenses and kept some of the proceeds in the county, generating a projected $45,000 in 2009. Undersheriff Dave Bustos, presenting with Strnad and accounting manager Mary Sue Sorenson, said he’s happy with

The first weekend of the elk rifle-hunting season led to search missions for two lost hunters. Both men were found in good condition, and Routt County Search and Rescue spokesman Darrel Levingston said each was well prepared for the hazards of backcountry hiking and found their bearings without extensive help. On Monday morning, 53-year-old Wisconsin resident Matt Mackenzie greeted searchers about a half-mile up the trail near Tepee Creek near Lynx Pass. Mackenzie spent the night in the woods and was reported missing Sunday evening by a hunting partner when he did not reach the designated meeting area. Levingston said the hunter became disoriented in the dark and although he probably could have found his way out using his compass, he opted to spend the night and avoid potential injuries as he made his way back to camp. Because the man was in good shape, rescuers chose to wait until Monday morning to begin the search. “He really did the smart thing,” Levingston said. Levingston said Mackenzie had matches to light a fire and other equipment that left him prepared to spend the night.

Recommended equipment Search and Rescue officials advice hunters and outdoor enthusiasts to always be prepared to spend the night outside, even if planning only a short trip. ■ Cell phone ■ GPS device, compass or both ■ Fire-starting material ■ Headlamp ■ Emergency blanket/bivy sack ■ Enough food and water to last a night Source: Peter Van De Carr, owner of Backdoor Sports in Steambboat Springs

However, Mackenzie did not make a fire because overnight temperatures remained relatively mild. According to the National Weather Service, the temperature in Steamboat Springs reached a low of 38 degrees Sunday night into Monday morning. Seven Search and Rescue volunteers began to search for Mackenzie in the morning, and after greeting him on the trail gave him a ride on an ATV to the trailhead. Mackenzie did not require medical attention. Search and Rescue volunteers also were called, but not needed, on a search for a 33-year-old South Carolina hunter Saturday night in the Harrison Creek area east of Rabbit Ears Pass in Routt County.

Wedding photos were something to behold guess that’s kind of romantic. Here’s what’s crazy. The Kerry/Nahed nuptials were given a full vertical column in the Sunday newspaper, but there were many more announcements of happy couples with careers almost as dazzling as those of doctors Kerry and Nahed. In spite of all that, it was the marriage of soap opera actress Brooke Alexander and tennis pro Marko Zelenovic, known far and wide as the “Croatian Sensation,” that earned the biggest play of the week. The Alexander/Zelenovic ceremonies warranted two color photographs. Their story had a gripping narrative. Forty love! If it sounds like I’m taking a tongue-in-cheek approach to this column, I don’t mean to. I sincerely recommend that you read the Times’ wed-

ding announcements, even if only online. There’s something undeniably fascinating, almost voyeuristic, about studying the photographs of couples in love and being granted a brief glimpse of their successful lives. I once photographed a wedding for money here in Northwest Colorado that might have made a nice layout in the Sunday New York Times. I booked the wedding even though the ceremony was 150 minutes away by mostly dirt roads at Trappers Lake in the Flat Tops Wilderness, and the reception was all the way back in Steamboat Springs. But that wasn’t what made this combination mountain man/Russian orthodox wedding noteworthy. No, it was the very different tastes in wedding garments exhibited between the two extended families that made this wedding assignment

stand out from all others. The bride’s family members were generally dressed in dark suits. I can recall an elderly woman in pumps, gingerly walking down the rough trail to the lake while carrying a huge gilt icon. The groom and his groomsmen were more in their element at Trappers Lake. They wore moccasins and beaded buckskins topped by fur caps fashioned from coyote pelts — the kind where the crown is formed by the late predator’s scalp — with its delicate whiskers intact, but its eyeballs missing. There was a certain awkwardness between the two parties, but the photographs of the extended families together were something to behold. I just wish I hadn’t turned the color negatives over to the father of the bride.

“Where that will go, I have no idea,” Antonucci said, “but I think we can get to it.” Antonucci and other council members interviewed Monday would not say how they plan to vote on the annexation, but their comments suggest another close decision. In an e-mail to supporters Monday, Steamboat 700 Principal and Project Manager Danny Mulcahy continued to stress his argument that the development accomplishes community goals spelled out in the West of Steamboat Springs Area Plan. “I have been coming to Steamboat Springs for nearly 29 years to ski. Four years ago this month … I was in Steamboat Springs and learned about the opportunity in (western) Steamboat Springs,” Mulcahy wrote. “We have worked hard to create a plan that fulfills the community’s vision.” Steamboat 700’s application has been amended since the meeting two weeks ago to address council members’ concerns. Provisions have been added to the annexation agreement to strengthen the development’s commitment to employ sustainable practices and limit its ability to impose “public improvement fees” on sales within its boundaries. The most substantial revisions, however, concern housing. Steamboat 700’s community housing plan has been revised to include a 15-acre land dedication to the city, up from 12.5 acres. In tandem with the proceeds of a 0.5 percent real estate transfer tax within the development, the city will use the land to develop affordable, deed-restricted housing aimed at making the 20 percent of the development permanently affordable to residents earning an average of 80 percent of the area median income. Some council members also were concerned about whether the remaining housing in the development would be attainable for local residents, given all the infrastructure costs required in the annexation agreement. In response, a para-

graph has been added to the annexation agreement stating that 30 percent of the homes in Steamboat 700, not including the subsidized units, shall be marketed at an “attainable price” for a period of at least 120 days before being released to the free market. During that time period, the homes could be priced for and sold to residents earning only 120 to 200 percent of the AMI, with an average of 150 to 160 percent AMI. In a letter to council members, Community Alliance of the Yampa Valley President Jack White wrote that Steamboat 700’s efforts fall short. The Community Alliance thinks there should be no time limit on the attainable prices and that the target AMI is too high. “Sadly, even if all these flaws were addressed, the proposed solution with its lower prices still pits our work force against the financial and qualifying abilities of wealthier outsiders,” the letter states. The Community Alliance is pushing for 30 percent of Steamboat 700’s homes to carry deed restrictions that require them to be sold to Routt County workers. Councilwoman Cari Herma cinski, who voted against Steamboat 700 two weeks ago because of concerns about housing costs, said she likes the developer’s proposal because it does not rely on any new complex regulations that would have to be enforced by the city. However, Hermacinski said she still would rather see a business plan proving Steamboat 700 intends to build homes for Steamboat’s working class. “I don’t believe what’s in the materials resolves my concerns about attainability,” she said. “I would like to see this project be attainable from a free-market perspective without controls on it.”

Councilman Scott Myller, who voted in favor of the project two weeks ago, said Hermacinski’s concerns are valid but that attainability may be “difficult, if not impossible” to prove. He said he would likely still support the project even if it cannot guarantee the attainability of free-market housing. Antonucci also voted in favor of the project two weeks ago, despite echoing Hermacinski’s concerns and voicing others, as well. “They’re going in the right direction, so I’m encouraged by that,” he said. “I think they’ve complied with everything I’ve personally asked them to comply with.” Among council members, Jon Quinn has argued most strongly in favor of Steamboat 700. He said Monday that he would hate to see another 4-3 vote and prefers that all council members get their concerns addressed so they can support the project. “I think it’s hugely important that we get everybody’s feelings on the table,” Quinn said. “I think it’s really important for us to see this through.” As he did two weeks ago — when he made a failed motion to table the annexation and later voted against it — Ivancie said there are still unresolved issues such as an incomplete water and wastewater study. “That’s one of my concerns. I want to see that master plan,” Ivancie said. “We’re kind of flying blind” without it. Council members Meg Bentley and Walter Magill did not return phone messages Monday. — To reach Brandon Gee, call 367-7507 or e-mail bgee@steamboatpilot.com

on the West of Steamboat Springs Area Plan; on funding for the expansion of Howelsen Ice Arena and construction of Centennial Hall; or on impact fees that, when initially approved in 2001, placed a fee of $4,454 on the construction of single-family homes of any size, and of $1,186 per 1,000 square feet of new commercial space. City Council approved the impact fees unanimously in June 2001 in an effort to fund Steamboat’s capital costs. In the following weeks, petitioners gathered 889 signatures to put the impact fees on a ballot for voters. That number surpassed the 10 percent of registered voters in the last municipal election that the state constitution required for a petition-driven referendum but fell short of the 20 percent required by Steamboat’s home rule charter. In sticking with the charter requirement, Bennett’s council and city staff denied the petitioners a ballot issue. An American Civil Liberties Union lawyer came to Steamboat to oppose the denial, calling the city’s stance unconstitutional. Bennett, in an article published in the Aug. 5, 2001, Steamboat Pilot, said the lawyer’s position was “one person’s opinion.” The City Council reduced the impact fees in September 2001, dropping the fee for a detached single-family home to $4,000, among other reductions. In November 2002, voters replaced the impact fees with a 1.2 percent excise tax on new development. On Monday, Bennett said a public vote on the impact fees was not needed. “We don’t need a public vote on everything — we don’t need a vote on impact fees that were established after a great deal of research and a nexus was estab-

lished to the legality of it,” he said. “We proceeded in a very legal fashion and did all the appropriate research and findings of fact to allow for this fee and other fees to be established. … It wasn’t the feeling of council that this should go to a vote.” A referendum issue on this fall’s ballot seeks to lower the city’s petition threshold to match the state’s 10 percent requirement. As part of Steamboat 700’s annexation agreement, the current City Council and Steamboat 700 developers agreed that the 10 percent threshold, as opposed to the city’s charter requirement of 20 percent, would be sufficient in the event of a petition drive challenging the council’s eventual Steamboat 700 vote.

Funding choices The expansion of Howelsen Ice Arena and construction of Centennial Hall were funded by certificates of participation, essentially bonds that negated the need for a new tax. Bennett said each project had significant local support. The ice rink expansion was facilitated by three public committees and about $500,000 from the local business community, Bennett said. “That tells the council at the time that there was enormous community buy-in; it was an enormous priority, and it’s one of the most successful community projects we’ve ever created,” he said. Centennial Hall also benefited from private donations and was a vital piece of public infrastructure that moved City Council meetings out of the police station and into a much more publicly accessible venue, Bennett said. “These are perfectly acceptable financing mechanisms and should not need a city vote,” he said about the projects.

2006, is the guiding document for west Steamboat growth and the proposed Steamboat 700 annexation, which the Steamboat Springs City Council is slated to vote on tonight. Earlier this month, Bennett said that at the time of the original WSSAP adoption vote in 1999, he considered placing a non-binding resolution on the ballot about future annexations and whether they should be voted on if they didn’t “pay for themselves.” “I’d been thinking about a vote of the people for a long time. … I wanted to put on the ballot, at the time, a direction question,” Bennett said. “And that was a very rudimentary way of saying, ‘Attention, community, heads up.’ My other council members thought that this would really hurt affordable housing, so we took it off.” In each case — the WSSAP, impact fees, Centennial Hall and Howelsen Ice Arena — Bennett said there is no comparison to the need for a public vote on Steamboat 700, which he called “one of the biggest decisions in our community’s history.” “The impact fees are not as significant to the community as giving up 46 percent of the water in our reservoir and allocating it” to 700, Bennett said.

“It was very similar in that he was well equipped to spend the night, healthy and in good condition,” Levingston said. The man was reported missing Saturday night by his brother, Mike Morris, who lives in the area. Levingston said the man, whose name was not available, had a GPS unit that malfunctioned. Even with backup batteries, he could not make the unit work. The man encountered some snow but walked out unassisted Saturday night, Levingston said. Backdoor Sports owner Peter Van De Carr said the list

of equipment hunters and hikers should have with them when they go into the backcountry is short but important. He said outdoor packs always should include a cell phone, GPS or compass, firestarting material, a headlamp, an emergency blanket or bivy sack (a small, waterproof sleeping bag cover), and enough food or water to survive a night. Van De Carr said a simple compass is helpful, but there are also more high-tech tools including GPS devices and personal locator beacons that can be helpful to rescuers. — To reach Zach Fridell, call 871-4208 or e-mail zfridell@steamboatpilot.com

forming the comet’s graceful, flowing tail and filling the comet’s path with dusty debris. After a comet has made many passes around the sun, its orbit may fill with dusty debris, like a river of dust in space. The Earth crosses Halley’s dust river twice each year, once on May 5 and again on Oct. 21. When one of these dust particles plows into the Earth’s upper atmosphere at nearly 150,000 mph, it incinerates in a brief but brilliant flash of light called a meteor. Cometary dust grains are so small that you could easily hold 1,000 of them in the cupped palm of your hand. This October’s Orionid meteor shower will peak between the hours of midnight and dawn on the morning of Oct. 21. A single observer with the benefit of dark, clear skies might see between one and two dozen meteors, or “shooting stars,” each hour. The slender crescent moon will set early in the evening this year, leaving the sky nice and dark for meteor watching. The October meteors that Halley’s Comet sends our way are called Orionid meteors

because they seem to fan out from a point in the sky near the familiar star pattern of Orion the Hunter. Orion doesn’t rise above our eastern horizon until about 11 p.m. in late October, so don’t expect to see many meteors before midnight. You’ll see Orionid meteors in every part of the sky, but they will all point back to a common origin near Orion’s bright star Betelgeuse, high in the southeastern sky at about 4 a.m. The closer to dawn you watch, the more meteors you will likely see, as the Earth rotates us more in the direction of Orion. And, although the peak of the meteor activity occurs on the morning of Oct. 21, you can still see a few Orionid meteors on the mornings of Oct. 20 and 22, as well. Consider the Orionid meteor shower a warm-up for 2061, when Halley’s Comet itself returns. Westlake teaches astronomy and physics at Colorado Mountain College’s Alpine Campus.

Heed H1N1 signs, MDs say Parents should watch carefully for symptoms of swine flu CHICAGO

Max Gomez was a brighteyed 5-year-old happy to have just started kindergarten when he developed sniffles and a fever. His mother figured it was only a cold. Three days later, the Antioch, Tenn., boy was dead, apparently from swine flu. At least 76 American children have died from the new virus, and doctors are urging parents to watch for warning signs that the flu has become life-threatening. Ruth Gomez says Max developed dangerous symptoms — bluish fingers and extreme fatigue after seeming to get better — just one day before he died. She took him to the doctor, but it was too late. “We were in shock,” Gomez said softly, still trying to wrap her mind around her little boy’s Aug. 31 death. “There are so many unanswered questions. What happened?” It’s a question on other parents’ minds, too: How can they protect kids from swine flu until the vaccine is widely available?

Swine flu probably has infected hundreds of thousands of youngsters nationwide, but deaths among children are rare. Health officials are keeping track of children’s flu deaths, but they say it’s impossible to count all flu cases. So they don’t know what percentage of children’s infections are fatal. Many experts say the H1N1 virus does not appear to be more dangerous than other flu strains, but kids have been catching it more easily than seasonal flu. Last week alone, there were 19 new reports of children who died, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And the 76 swine flu fatalities since April compare with 68 pediatric deaths from seasonal flu since September 2008. Because kids seem so vulnerable to it, “every medical epidemiologist in the country” is tracking how it affects them, said Dr. Susan Gerber, an associate medical officer for the public health department in Cook County, Ill. Most children will recover, but “it’s still very concerning and needs to be watched very closely” Gerber said.

EXOTIC COCKTAILS and more

Swine flu symptoms In children, symptoms of swine flu are: ■ Fast or troubled breathing ■ Bluish skin color ■ Lack of thirst ■ Failure to wake up easily or interact ■ Irritability so that the child does not want to be held ■ Improvement of symptoms, then a return to fever and worse cough ■ Fever with a rash

10am Weekdays Upstairs at 730 Lincoln Ave • 879.2976

Dr. Kenneth Alexander, the University of Chicago’s pediatric infectious disease chief, said there are common signs to indicate when both kinds of flu turn dangerous. Flu viruses can damage cilia, the hair-like fibers lining the respiratory tract that move bacteria and mucous “where we can cough them out” of the lungs, he explained. That can make people susceptible to pneumonia and other bacterial infections — a scenario blamed for many flu deaths in otherwise healthy children and adults, he said. In these cases, flu patients often appear to get better, but then fever and a cough return. Authorities urge parents to seek immediate help if emergency warning signs develop.

Degrees harder to earn with college cuts SAN FRANCISCO

It isn’t just tuition increases that are driving up the cost of college. Across the country, deep budget cuts are forcing colleges to lay off instructors and eliminate some classes, making it harder for students to get into the courses they need to earn their degree. The likely result: more time in college. And while that may sound agreeable to nostalgic alumni, to students like Michael Redoglia, time is money. Early this semester at San Francisco State University, Redoglia unsuccessfully crashed 26 different classes, hoping to find space that would move him closer to a hospitality management degree. Outside some classrooms, wait-listed students took turns standing closest to the door so they could hear the lecture and not fall too far behind should they get in. Redoglia, a fourth-year student, is now enrolled in just two courses. He could lose financial aid, and his plan to finish his degree in 4 1/2 years is up in smoke. “This semester has put me back another full year,” said

Redoglia, adding that the delay is “killing me financially.” Policymakers right up to President Barack Obama have been calling on public colleges to move students through more efficiently, and some have been doing so. But experts say any recent progress is threatened by unprecedented state budget cuts that have trimmed course offerings. “They will not graduate on time. I hope they will graduate at all,” said David Baggins, who as chairman of political science at Cal State University-East Bay has been bombarded with requests for spots in already packed classes.

LEF 3 LY ON

“Before,” Baggins said, “there was always a way to help the student who really needed help.” This year, “all I can do is say no.” Some students struggle for places in the core entry-level classes such as composition and math because the part-time instructors who typically teach those courses are the first to be laid off in tough times. Other students are shut out of crowded core courses in their majors by upperclassmen. Some upperclassmen face an even tougher road: The upper-level classes they need have been cut entirely because they aren’t popular enough.

effort to calculate the effect of Washington’s $787 billion recovery package. State officials across the U.S. worked to meet a Saturday reporting deadline as part of the most ambitious effort to calculate in real time the effect of a government spending program. From 11 jobs repaving a road in Caldwell, Texas, to one job at Utah food banks, to two forensic scientist positions in North Dakota, states were required to say exactly what became of billions in government aid. The national data won’t be available until later this month. But based on preliminary information from a few states, teachers appear to have benefited most from early spending. That’s because the stimulus sent billions of dollars to help stabilize state budgets, sparing what officials said would have been teacher layoffs. In California, the stimulus was credited with saving or creating 62,000 jobs in public schools and state universities. Utah reported saving about 2,600 teaching jobs. In both states, education jobs represented about two-thirds of the total stimulus job number. Missouri reported more than 8,500 school jobs, Minnesota more than 5,900. In Michigan, where officials said 19,500 jobs have been saved or created, three out of four were in education.

“They’re going to be the biggest driver of jobs from the state side,” said Chris Whatley, who tracks stimulus programs for the Council of State Governments. Construction companies also are expected to report strong job numbers thanks to billions of dollars in highway money, but those figures will vary because some states have spent that money faster than others. Unlike construction jobs, which require bidding and contracting, teaching jobs were relatively quick to save once billions of dollars in aid arrived from Washington. “This early data confirms that the Recovery Act is working across the country to keep tens of thousands of teachers in the classroom and construction workers on the job during these tough economic times,” said Elizabeth Oxhorn, a spokeswoman for the White House recovery office. Job estimates have become political chips in the debate about whether the stimulus was worth its hefty price tag, particularly since many of the jobs created are temporary contract positions. Since the president signed the bill in February, millions of jobs have been lost and unemployment has climbed higher than White House aides predicted. The Obama administration,

bolstered by some economists and anecdotal evidence, has said things would have been far worse without the stimulus. The White House says more than 1 million jobs have been saved or created so far, a figure that is so murky it can never be verified. That’s because the White House estimate is based on economic models that try to calculate the effect of tax cuts and the ripple effect of government spending. The numbers being collected by contractors and states are expected to provide a much more accurate count of workers employed by stimulus money. The job count will not tally jobs created by Obama’s $288 billion tax cuts or attempt to quantify the ripple effect of stimulus spending. Many states had little information to make public.

In other states, officials still were reviewing the data for errors. “I don’t want to give you data and have it change as it gets corrected,” said Tom Evslin, whom Gov.

Conservative Republicans are capitalizing on the troubles of community activist group ACORN — ranging from charges of voter registration fraud to embarrassing videos of its employees — to revive their long-standing fight against a federal law that grades banks

on their investments in poor and minority neighborhoods. The 1977 Community Rein vestment Act was intended to end redlining, a practice in which banks in effect walled off many inner-city neighborhoods from mortgage loans. But some GOP lawmakers say it has outlived its purpose and is being used inappropriately by ACORN to shake down banks for money. They want to repeal

the law, scale it back or at least block a Democratic proposal to expand it. Critics of the law are linking it to ACORN — a subject many Democrats wish would go away — at every opportunity. “Should we repeal CRA? Absolutely,” said Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, a member of the House Financial Services Committee. “Do we have the votes for it today? I seriously doubt that.” Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., also on the committee, has described ACORN’s actions under the law as “legalized extortion,” contending that the law gave ACORN the power to stall or prevent bank mergers or expansions by filing CRA complaints with regulators. “In order to avoid these filings, financial institutions would either lower their lending requirements to meet the needs of ACORN associates or they would simply pay out funds to one of the many ACORNaffiliated organizations,” Royce wrote in an article posted on his House Web site.

Unlike the coach he learned from, Josh McDaniels, of the Broncos, doesn’t shy from show ing a little emotion. His special teams assistant, Mike Priefer, sure ly knows about it after being on the wrong side of a protracted rant from the rookie coach. Denver fans McDaniels found out about it, too, when McDaniels ran to the corner of the stadium and started pumping his fists and hugging it out with players to celebrate Denver’s latest surprise — a 20-17 overtime win against New England. “We work too hard not to enjoy the wins,” McDaniels said Monday. “We work too hard to try to minimize any success we might have on the weekend.” Success is all McDaniels has enjoyed so far this season, in leading the Broncos to the NFL’s most surprising start. The latest win, over his more stoic mentor, Bill Belichick, gave the Broncos a 5-0 record and McDaniels responded by giving the Broncos Monday off for the first time this season. They’ll be back in the film room come Wednesday, and McDaniels insisted he’ll prove to the Broncos that undefeated is not the same as perfect. He’ll break down all the mistakes from their latest win. “We can coach better and play better and they’ll see that on film. I don’t have to cre ate that,” McDaniels said. “No coach has to create it either. They’ll see it on the film, and that’s just the truth.” The brunt of the criticism will come over Denver’s special teams effort. A missed field goal.

Wildcat formation helps Miami to get past New York Steven Wine

MIAMI 20455726

When the wildcat delivered a big play for the Miami Dolphins, coach Tony Sparano skipped along the sideline with glee, reached back and threw a roundhouse punch. That was just in the first quarter. The knockout came much later, again with the wildcat. Running back Ronnie Brown took the snap with 10 seconds left and scored on a 2-yard keeper for the fifth lead change of the final period, giving Miami a wild 31-27 victory against the New York Jets on Monday night. Newcomer Braylon Edwards provided a big boost for the Jets, and two fake punts fooled the Dolphins. But Miami gained 110 yards with the wildcat, which was instrumental in three touchdown drives, including the last one. “Like anything else, if you execute, good things will happen,” Brown said. Jets coach Rex Ryan was annoyed the wildcat kept working. “I used to see all those gimmicks when I was coaching back in college,” Ryan said. “I’ve been a part of some bad performances before on defense, just not this bad.” The Dolphins started from their own 30-yard line with 5:05 left, trailing 27-24, and mounted a 13-play drive for the winning score. The march included four wildcat plays for 25 yards, the

He ran up the middle, found a seam and crossed the goal line with 6 seconds to go. Even Brown’s teammates on the sideline were surprised by the call. “That’s why we are players and not coaches,” Miami defensive tackle Jason Ferguson said. “All of us were talking about, ’Why won’t you pass it?’ Because we got a touchdown, that’s why.” The resilient Dolphins (2-3) came from behind three times in the fourth quarter, and they’re

The game became a shootout reminiscent of the Dolphins’ Dan Marino days, and filling that role just fine was Chad Henne. In only his second NFL start, Henne completed 20 of 26 for 241 yards and two touchdowns. He threw deep to Ted Ginn Jr. for a 53-yard score to give Miami a 24-20 lead with 10:10 left. “We made him look like Dan Marino,” Jets linebacker Calvin Pace said. “They did what they want, and they did it at will.”

Miami Dolphins tight end Anthony Fasano scores a touchdown in the fourth quarter against the New York Jets on Monday at Land Shark Stadium in Miami. The Dolphins beat the Jets, 31-27.

The Colorado Avalanche are enjoying an unexpectedly strong start. The Boston Bruins are surprising for another reason. David Jones scored a shorthanded goal to lift the Ava lanche past the Bruins, 4-3, on Monday’s Monday, sendgame: ing the top team Avs 4 in the Eastern Bruins 3 Conference last season to its third loss in five games. Marek Svatos had a tiebreaking, power-play goal midway into the second period and Milan Hejduk and Scott Hannan also scored for the Avalanche (3-1-1).

“It sounds like you’re surprised,” Colorado goalie Craig Anderson said when asked about his team’s record. “One game at a time. That’s been what we pride ourselves in. They’re a great team. They weren’t the best team in the East last year for no reason. They found a way to win the last game. The puck didn’t have the same lightning tonight.” For the second straight game, Boston needed a rally, but this one fell short. The Bruins cut it to 4-3 when Michael Ryder scored on a backhander out of a scramble with 13:36 left, but there was no comeback like Saturday night when they scored three goals in the closing 8:01 before beating the Islanders in a shootout.

Coach: Sailors’ fate rests with defense

Rockies ‘a strike away’ from tying series Rockies continued from 21 rally of their own against closer Huston Street. Street was 35 of 37 on save chances this season, but took the loss in Game 3 when he allowed Howard’s tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the ninth. “We had gotten to Huston Street the night before, so we knew we had a shot to make some things happen,” Howard said. Colorado had lost just once all season when leading after eight innings, and Street started the ninth with a strikeout of pinch-hitter Greg Dobbs. Jimmy Rollins singled with one out and Utley drew a two-out walk on a full count. Howard tied it with two strikes when he doubled to the rightfield wall. Werth followed with a soft single to right-center.

“We were a strike away from making a trip to Philadelphia,” lamented Rockies manager Jim Tracy, who went 74-42 after taking over when Clint Hurdle was fired May 29. The Phillies, the NL’s best road team, swept both games at Coors Field, where the wildcard Rockies went 44-17 under Tracy’s tutelage. “We stood toe to toe with the defending world champions,” Street said. “I take full responsibility for there not being a Game 5 and not keeping us alive.” The Rockies looked as if they were going to send the series back to Philadelphia when Yorvit Torrealba’s two-run double broke a 2-all tie in the eighth. That came after Fowler scored the tying run on pinchhitter Jason Giambi’s two-out single.

Fowler hurdled Utley, who stepped into the basepath to field Todd Helton’s slow grounder, and his quick flip to second base was wide right and mishandled for an error by Rollins. “That was a football play,” Rollins said. “That was like jumping over a defender trying to get to the end zone, and he made it.” Fowler, one of several promising rookies on the Rockies, said it was an instinctive move. “I saw Utley coming, I saw the ball and I thought, ‘Don’t get tagged out.’ I think I was going too fast for me to stop, so I just kept it going,” Fowler said. That put two on for Tulowitzki, and Ryan Madson relieved starter Cliff Lee in a double-switch that also brought in left fielder Ben Francisco to replace Raul Ibanez.

Broncos defense has given up 43 points Broncos continued from 21 zone. Two crucial penalties — offsides and running into the punter — both on fourth-andshort to keep a New England drive alive. Kyle Orton’s tying, fourth-quarter, 98-yard touchdown drive wouldn’t have been that long if not for those two penalties. After Darrell Reid ran into the punter, the TV cameras panned — then held — on McDaniels and the extended shout-down he was laying on Priefer. Easy to laugh at the episode now, because the Broncos won. “Sometimes on game day, it’s better to listen to what you’re saying, than how you’re saying

it,” McDaniels said. “And that would be my message to the staff.” Errors and tantrums aside, Denver is in rarified air. Only three other teams have 5-0 records — and the other four times the Broncos have started this well, they’ve ended up in the Super Bowl. Nearly a third of the way into the season, it is too late to attribute the Broncos success to them sneaking up on people, or a slate of games against bad opponents. Yes, there were wins against Cleveland and Oakland. But also against New England and Dallas. Even the season-opening Cincinnati win is looking a lot better: The Bengals (4-1) haven’t

will look for offensive support from a number of different players, including leading scorer Ubaldo Trujillo, who has 15 goals this season. However, the Sailors will not be able to look past Battle Mountain’s Connor Tedstrom, Efren Gonzalez and Jack Sunderland. All four players have scored game-winning goals this season. Bohlmann said Steamboat’s fate will rest with the defense, starting with goalkeeper Con nor Birch. Steamboat rarely gives up more than one goal in a game, and the coach said maintaining that streak will be one of the keys for a Sailors victory. The other side of the equation will be for Steamboat’s attackers to make the most of their opportunities. “We will need to generate some offense and see if we can find one of two good scoring opportunities,” Bohlmann said.

tunity to compete for the title with league-leading Battle Mountain, and everybody on the team realizes just how big a role the 6:30 p.m. game on Battle Mountain’s new athletic field could play in the final stretch of the season. Battle Mountain, currently 7-0-2, holds a five-point advantage over Steamboat (5-0-3) in league play. Eagle Valley, 6-2-1, is four points behind Steamboat. Glenwood Springs is 4-2-2. After the showdown in Battle Mountain, the Sailors have games remaining against Rifle, Eagle Valley and Moffat County. Battle Mountain will face Rifle and Eagle Valley. “Sure, I would say this is a pivotal game,” Cope said. “But there is still a lot of soccer left to be played, and there are four strong teams in the Western Slope this year.”

Cope said the Battle Moun tain players always look forward to games against Steamboat, regardless of the team’s record or where they are in the standings. “When the schedules come out, my players always mark the Steamboat games right away,” Cope said. “We always look forward to these games, and this year it’s even more exciting.” The two teams played to a 1-1 tie earlier this season. Cope said both teams have grown since that early meeting, but he expects another tightly contested game. “This is going to be a great game with two of the best goalkeepers in the state,” Cope said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if it comes down to one goal.” Cope said Battle Mountain will look to goalie Clint Hervert to control the game and keep Steamboat’s offensive attack off balance.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Ashanti, 29; Jerry Rice, 47; Marie Osmond, 50; Chris Carter, 53 Happy Birthday: You can move mountains this year if you put your mind to it. Accomplishments will start at home and work their way into your personal and professional life. You'll be freed from some of the limitations and frustrations of the past. Changes with older and younger people in your life will occur. Good times are ahead if you stop procrastinating. Your numbers are 5, 16, 23, 28, 31, 39, 42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): If a deal sounds too good, you need to do more homework. Don't let anyone put you in a position that makes you feel awkward about saying no. Take a safe route that will ensure you can afford the things you want in the future. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20)): You won't win if you decide to openly argue and you may even damage your reputation with people witnessing events as they unfold. Stubbornness will be your downfall. Don't try to manipulate to get your way. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The people around you will appreciate you for your friendship and all the help and inspiration you bring with you. Be prepared to let a friend lean on you, offering reassurance, suggestions and support. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): A lazy attitude can lead to trouble. You may not feel much like contributing but, if you don't, you will end up being left out of something that you might enjoy or an opportunity to make a little extra cash. Money is heading your way. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don't trust what's being said. Someone may not want to hurt your feelings or put up with your response should you be told the truth. You'll have to find out for yourself and make a judgment call that will change the relationship you have with someone.

★★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You can't leave anything important up to someone else. You will be disappointed in the way others do things and will probably be denied something you want badly if your

contribution doesn't reflect your unique style. Being responsible is half the battle. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take part and you will not be denied the position you want. Your ability to represent others will help you gain popularity. The more you involve yourself in the decision-making, the more control you will have for your future. ★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Not everyone will get what you are trying to accomplish. Don't let others' lack of understanding unnerve you or make you jump into something that's not right for you. You can't count on things unfolding the way you imagine. ★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You have to be ready to take on anything and everything. Multitasking will be a must but the results will be spectacular. Adventure awaits you if you dive into every opportunity that comes your way. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A contract someone is offering will not be in your best interest. Don't feel pressured to get involved. Emotional matters concerning an elder in your family will get blown out of proportion, leaving you responsible. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You won't want to budge but stubbornness can lead to error. You will discover how much easier it is to get along with others if you compromise. Being offensive will not solve the problem -- it will only bring more opposition. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Nothing will be too great or difficult for you to solve. Your astute observations coupled with a detailed approach will bring results. Mixing business with pleasure will add to your success. ★★★ Birthday Baby: You see the big picture and are willing to fight for what you want. You are engaging, creative and unique in your approach.
