700 proceeds during petition Development’s project manager says signature drive was not a surprise Brandon Gee

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Danny Mulcahy continues to host breakfast meetings and methodically attempts to build support for Steamboat 700 throughout the community. But don’t expect to see any major campaign efforts promoting the project while a group of citizens tries to col-

lect enough signatures to challenge the Steamboat Springs City Council’s annexation of the development. “We’ve always known a petition was an option of the electorate, and we respect that,” said Mulcahy, Steamboat 700 principal and project manager. “It wasn’t a surprise. … We’ve accommodated it, actually.” A referendum issue on this fall’s ballot seeks to lower the

city’s referendum threshold to match the state’s requirement that petitioners collect signatures from 10 percent of registered voters. 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 peti-

tion drive. The city’s annexation agreement with Steamboat 700 also requires that the developer pay all the costs of a referendum election, if it occurs. Steamboat 700 is a 487-acre annexation approved by the Steamboat Springs City Council on Oct. 13 in a 4-3 vote. It proposes about 2,000 homes and Matt Stensland/staff 380,000 square feet of commer- Let’s Vote committee member Tim Rowse watches Steamboat Springs resident Eugene Buchanan sign a petition Saturday to put the Steamboat 700 annexation to a vote. Petitioners must collect at least 829 signatures to trigger the referendum process.

Retired drama teacher Rusty de Lucia heads for Peace Corps

n 1965, Rusty de Lucia received an acceptance letter from the Peace Corps inviting her to teach English in Thailand. The day before that letter arrived, she signed a contract to Story by teach English Margaret Hair at a middle school in New York. De Lucia put the Peace Corps on hold for her succeeding 40-plus-year career as an educator, but she never forgot her adventurous dream. Not long after her second retirement in June 2008, de Lucia started filling out her second Peace Corps application. “I don’t know what it’s like to sit still,” said de Lucia, who retired to Steamboat Springs in 1997 before spending 10 years teaching English and theater at Steamboat Springs Middle School. She first came to Routt County in 1955 to study acting at Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School and Camp with her mentor, Charlotte “Kingo” Perry. De Lucia got a final accep-

President Barack Obama declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency, giving his health chief the power to let hospitals move emergency rooms offsite to speed treatment and protect noninfected patients. The declaration, signed Friday night and announced Saturday, comes with the disease more prevalent than ever in the country and production delays undercutting the government’s initial, optimistic estimates that as many as 120 million doses of the vaccine could be available by mid-October. Health authorities say more than 1,000 people in the United States, including almost 100 children, have died from the strain of flu known as H1N1, and 46 states have widespread flu activity. So far, only 11 million doses have gone out to health departments, doctor’s offices and other providers, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials. Administration officials said the declaration was a pre-emptive move designed to make decisions easier when they need to be made. Officials said the move was not in response to any single development. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius now has authority to bypass federal rules when opening alternative care sites, such as offsite hospital centers at schools or community centers if hospitals seek permission. Some hospitals have opened drive-thrus and drive-up tent clinics to screen and treat swine flu patients. The idea is to keep infectious people out of regular emergency rooms and away from other sick patients. Hospitals could modify patient rules — for example, requiring See Obama, page 10A

Rescuers help pair of hunters in North Routt

Top 10 most-read online stories For the week of Oct. 15 to 21

Pilot & Today staff

Routt County Search and Rescue responded to a call for help Saturday morning from two hunters who had lost their way in North Routt County. They were found near Diamond Peak, between Slater Park and Steamboat Lake. The two men, ages 64 and 45, had lost their bearings Friday afternoon. Both were visiting from Pennsylvania, though one had been hunting in Routt for 15 years, incident commander Russ Sanford said. The men had shot an elk from far off and went to look for it, he said. They couldn’t find it and then set their packs down, leaving them to head back for camp. The two then couldn’t find camp, Sanford said. They started a fire with matches and a candle that one man had in his pocket, Sanford said, and huddled

They found the men at 1 p.m. and got them out at about 3 p.m., Sanford said. Ten rescuers were in the field, and six people were providing support. “It was really nasty weather up there,” he said. “I was really proud of our team’s willingness to wander off in sleet and snow.”

Storm Mountain coffee hits college campuses Routt County-based Storm Mountain Roasters has hit a couple of college campuses. Julie Spitzley’s roasts won a taste contest at Lake Superior State University in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. Her products appeared in four of the school’s coffee shops two weeks ago for free. Coffee drinking quadrupled. A week later, when the shops started charging, coffee sales were double what they had been, Spitzley said. She attended Lake Superior State. “They love it; they’re happy with it,” she said. Spitzley also was surprised to discover a significant price difference. “Through that tasting, I found out that we are less expensive than some of the larger national roasters,” she said. Storm Mountain Roasters also sells bags of coffee at The Ohio State University, Spitzley said. The Denver Post

Rebate cards keep consumers spending Millions of consumers intent on grabbing holiday deals by way of mail-in rebates are likely to see fewer checks this year and more plastic designed to lure them back into the store, retail experts say. The switch from paper checks to plastic rebate cards isn’t new, but the captive marketing it provides to retailers and manufacturers is growing, especially in a down economy, according to those who track the industry. Industry estimates put the amount of rebates paid in plastic at $4.2 billion in 2008, up by more than 50 percent from the year before, a number that’s expected to grow by even more this year. The cards work simply: Instead of a rebate check that is deposited into a bank account, the prepaid card is branded either with a store name, known as a closedloop card, or a major creditcard logo, such as Visa or MasterCard, known as openloop cards. The only way to redeem the funds is to buy something else, though a few rebates allow you the cash at an ATM. “The future of rebate cards is tremendous, not just for the captive marketing where consumers come back into the store for purchases, but the ability to track and manage that data,” said Brian Riley, research director for bank cards at TowerGroup, a research firm that tracks consumer credit-card spending. In a day where as many as 60 percent of consumers eligible for a rebate never bother with the paperwork or online process, retailers are vying for whatever money they can. “Retailers are trying to find any way possible to get consumers into the store, especially in this economy,” said Christopher Howes, president of the Colorado Retail Council. “In this way it urges a little more spending.”

Frontier executive headed to Hungary Chris Collins, Frontier Airlines’ chief operating officer for nearly four years, is leaving to take a similar post with Wizz Air, based in Budapest, Hungary. Friday will be the last day for Collins, who joined Frontier in January 2006.

Wine Festival tops again Chamber releases summer tourism analysis, plans lean budget for year ahead

he Wine Festival at Steamboat, combined with the Triple Crown World Series, was once again the top weekend draw for visitors to Steamboat Springs this summer. In an annual Story by review of Mike Lawrence events, marketing results and Web traffic given to the Steamboat Springs City Council on Tuesday, Lynna Broyles, of the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association, said the weekend of Aug. 1 garnered the highest percentage of full lodging units this summer, at 79 percent. The Wine Festival and Triple Crown weekend also was tops in 2008, when the events combined with the Wild West Relay on the weekend of Aug. 2 and filled 94 percent of Steamboat’s lodging. The Wild West Relay fell a week later this year, to use the full moon as teams of runners — and one individual, ultramarathoner Will Laughlin — made their way 200 miles from Fort Collins to Steamboat. The second-biggest weekend draws this summer were the Fourth of July weekend, which paired with Triple Crown athletic events, and the Steamboat Mountain Soccer Tournament on the weekend of July 18. Each weekend filled 78 percent of local lodging, according to Chamber figures. In 2008, the Chamber’s No. 2 weekend was that of July 19, when the Steamboat Mountain Soccer Tournament netted 85 percent capacity. The third-highest weekend for the past two summers has been the Hot Air Balloon Rodeo and Art in the Park, a combination known as Rainbow Weekend. Broyles, the Chamber’s director of marketing, said that while down, summer 2009

numbers show that vacationers facing tough decisions — and valuing their dollars — still chose to visit the Yampa Valley this summer. “I am very pleased. I think what that information basically displays is that people are motivated to travel for events — you had to give people reason to choose to spend their money this summer,” Broyles said. “By the time you get to the thirdhighest weekend of the summer, then the percentages actually start to level out.” Broyles said new events this summer and fall, such as the All Arts Festival and

Halloween Stroll Tracy Barnett, of Mainstreet Steamboat Springs, said she has been receiving phone calls about Saturday’s Halloween Stroll and possible impacts of downtown construction. Barnett said the annual stroll is happening as usual and is scheduled from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday on Lincoln Avenue. Barnett said she is talking with Scott Contracting — which is doing the U.S. Highway 40 project for the Colorado Department of Transportation — about having crews on hand during the stroll to guide pedestrians around heavy construction areas. People are asked to respect construction zones and boundaries during the stroll.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Less than a month after fine dining restaurant Antares served its last meal, another downtown Steamboat Springs business is shutting its doors. Kelda Combs Wall, owner of Felix & Fido, at 635 Lincoln Ave., said today is the last day of business for the boutique pet store. Combs Wall is hoping to clear out all of her inventory

today, with a closing sale on all items. The store originally opened in 1996, and Combs Wall bought it in August 2008. She decided to move the store from its downstairs Old Town Square location and opened at the new spot with Lincoln Avenue frontage in November. But in April and May of this year, Combs Wall realized sales were not increasing and that she could not sustain the See Pet store, page 9A

The Quiet Revolution

our view

Right move is to sign lease with New West Inns

David Brooks

The New York Times

he Iron Horse Inn continues to be an albatross around the city’s neck at a time Steamboat Springs and its residents can least afford it. The city should sign a three-year lease with New West Inns and allow the property to be managed by a company with experience doing so. at issue Not only will leasing the Iron Horse Inn property to New West Inns — a Boulder-based company our view that operates Steamboat’s City should Comfort Inn hotel — minimize the city’s annual loss on finalize the Iron Horse during the next three-year lease with New three years, it will give the city additional time to explore and West Inns develop long-term plans for while the 2.36-acre property on the continuing Yampa River. The city, led by a previto explore ous City Council, bought the long-term redevelopment 52-room Iron Horse Inn in October 2007 for $4 million. options The city used certificates of participation to fund the purchase, as well as $1 million in planned renovations and $235,000 in issuance costs, bringing the total cost to $5.3 million. There’s a 25-year payoff on the certificates of participation, and annual payments on the debt service could be as high as $480,000 some years. If the city were to pay off the debt early, it would be subject to what amounts to a prepayment penalty in excess of $1 million, and the city’s future ability to secure bonds could take a significant hit. The original intent of the purchase was that the property would provide affordable housing for city employees, but operational issues and expenses have resulted in mostly problems for the city. The city initially operated the Iron Horse and rented rooms on a nightly and long-term basis. But projected operating losses and a desire to keep the city out of the housing business led the current City Council to explore leasing the motel to a private property management company. An agreement was reached in November 2008 with Resort Group to manage the property. According to the agreement, the city retained the right to offer some of the units to its workers. But a bedbug infestation and the collapse of the economy doomed the agreement with Resort Group. The contract has been in dispute since February. The city, meanwhile, tried unsuccessfully to negotiate deals this summer with Colorado Mountain College and TK Mining to lease some of Iron Horse’s rooms for students and mine workers. In June, a new request for proposals went out, and New West Inns was the only company to respond. The deal now in front of the city would allow New West Inns to operate the motel as a nightly rental facility. New West Inns would pay the city $13,500 a month, or $162,000 a year. New West Inns also would share 15 percent of its net operating profit with the city, a deal that would net the city a projected $22,728 in 2010. The city would receive 20 percent of any net profits over $500,000. City officials also say New West Inns might make some of the rooms available for longterm rentals, which could allow the Iron Horse to provide some affordable housing for the local work force. The city should sign off on the three-year lease if for no other reason than it will minimize the loss of taxpayer dollars. The city’s 2010 debt service on the motel is $343,000. The New West Inn lease would allow the city to recoup an estimated $184,728 in 2010, meaning the projected operating loss would be $158,272. The city stands to lose more than $200,000 if it continues to operate the facility as is, some city officials say. In short, there is no easy way out of the Iron Horse mess. That’s why the best option is for the city to finalize the three-year lease with New West Inns and continue to work with a local residents committee on developing longterm plans for the redevelopment of the site. Such redevelopment would not occur within the next three years, so the property lease would not pose an obstacle to continued planning. It’s unfortunate that no matter how the city operates the Iron Horse, it will be in competition with private business. But the city’s No. 1 concern should be as a steward to the taxpayers. Therefore, sign the lease and minimize our short-term losses.

The Chinese disconnect Paul Krugman

The New York Times

Senior monetary officials usually talk in code. So when Ben Bernanke, the Federal Reserve chairman, spoke recently about Asia, international imbalances and the financial crisis, he didn’t specifically criticize China’s outrageous currency policy. But he didn’t have to: Everyone got the subtext. China’s bad behavKrugman ior is posing a growing threat to the rest of the world economy. The only question now is what the world — and, in particular, the United States — will do about it. Some background: The value of China’s currency, unlike, say, the value of the British pound, isn’t determined by supply and demand. Instead, Chinese authorities enforced that target by buying or selling their currency in the foreign exchange market — a policy made possible by restrictions on the ability of private investors to move their money into or out of the country. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with such a policy, especially in a still poor country whose financial system might all too easily be destabilized by volatile flows of hot money. In fact, the system served China well during the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s. The crucial question, however, is whether the target value of the yuan is reasonable. Until about 2001, you could argue that it was: China’s overall trade position wasn’t too far out of balance. From then onward, however, the policy of keeping the yuan-dollar rate fixed came to look increasingly bizarre. First of all, the dollar slid in value,

especially against the euro, so by keeping the yuan/dollar rate fixed, Chinese officials were, in effect, devaluing their currency against everyone else’s. Meanwhile, productivity in China’s export industries soared; combined with the de facto devaluation, this made Chinese goods extremely cheap on world markets. The result was a huge Chinese trade surplus. If supply and demand had been allowed to prevail, the value of China’s currency would have risen sharply. But Chinese authorities didn’t let it rise. They kept it down by selling vast quantities of the currency, acquiring in return an enormous hoard of foreign assets, mostly in dollars, currently worth about $2.1 trillion. Many economists, myself included, believe that China’s asset-buying spree helped inflate the housing bubble, setting the stage for the global financial crisis. But China’s insistence on keeping the yuan/dollar rate fixed, even when the dollar declines, may be doing even more harm now. Although there has been a lot of doomsaying about the falling dollar, that decline is actually natural and desirable. America needs a weaker dollar to help reduce its trade deficit, and it’s getting that weaker dollar as nervous investors, who flocked into the presumed safety of U.S. debt at the peak of the crisis, have started putting their money to work elsewhere. But China has been keeping its currency pegged to the dollar — which means that a country with a huge trade surplus and a rapidly recovering economy, a country whose currency should be rising in value, is in effect engineering a large devaluation instead.

And that’s a particularly bad thing to do at a time when the world economy remains deeply depressed because of inadequate overall demand. By pursuing a weak-currency policy, China is siphoning some of that inadequate demand away from other nations, which is hurting growth almost everywhere. The biggest victims, by the way, are probably workers in other poor countries. In normal times, I’d be among the first to reject claims that China is stealing other peoples’ jobs, but right now it’s the simple truth. So what are we going to do? U.S. officials have been extremely cautious about confronting the China problem, to such an extent that last week the Treasury Department, while expressing “concerns,” certified in a required report to Congress that China is not — repeat not — manipulating its currency. They’re kidding, right? The thing is, right now this caution makes little sense. Suppose the Chinese were to do what Wall Street and Washington seem to fear and start selling some of their dollar hoard. Under current conditions, this would actually help the U.S. economy by making our exports more competitive. In fact, some countries, most notably Switzerland, have been trying to support their economies by selling their own currencies on the foreign exchange market. The United States, mainly for diplomatic reasons, can’t do this; but if the Chinese decide to do it on our behalf, we should send them a thank-you note. The point is that with the world economy still in a precarious state, beggar-thy-neighbor policies by major players can’t be tolerated. Something must be done about China’s currency.

A few weeks ago, “Saturday Night Live” teased President Barack Obama for delivering great speeches but not actually bringing change. There’s at least one area where that jibe is unfair: education. When Obama and Education Secretary Arne Duncan came to office, they created a $4.3 billion Race to the Top fund. The idea was to use money to Brooks leverage change. The administration would put a pile of federal money on the table and award it to a few states that most aggressively embraced reform. Their ideas were good, and their speeches were beautiful. But that was never the problem. The real challenge was going to be standing up to the teachers’ unions and the other groups that have undermined nearly every other reform effort. The real questions were these: Would the administration water down its reform criteria in the face of political pressure? Would the Race to the Top money end up getting distributed like any other federal spending program, and thus end up subsidizing the status quo? Would the administration hold the line and demand real reform in exchange for the money? There were many reasons to be skeptical. At the behest of the teachers’ unions, the Democrats had just shut down a successful District of Columbia voucher program. Moreover, state legislatures across the country were moving backward. They were passing laws prohibiting schools from using student performance as a criterion in setting teacher pay. But, so far, those fears are unjustified. The news is good. In fact, it’s very good. In the past few days, I’ve spoken to people ranging from Bill Gates to Jeb Bush and various education reformers. They are all impressed by how gritty and effective the Obama administration has been in holding the line and inciting real education reform. During the summer, the Dep artment of Education indicated that most states would not qualify for Race to the Top money. Now states across the country are changing their laws: California, Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin and Tennessee, among others. It’s not only the promise of money that is motivating change. There seems to be some sort of status contest as states compete to prove they, too, can meet the criteria. Governors who have been bragging about how great their schools are don’t want to be left off the list. These changes mean that states are raising their caps on the number of charter schools. When charters got going, there was a “let a thousand flowers bloom” mentality that sometimes led to bad schools. Now See Brooks, page 5A

Steamboat 700 petition ■ I think we need to be careful not to assume that if one signs the petition they will automatically vote to overturn annexation ordinance. Nor should it be assumed If, (big if) the “Let’s Vote” committee is successful in obtaining the necessary number of signatures, and the issue is placed on the ballot the vote will be to overturn the annexation agreement ordinance. The magnitude of annexation ordinance should not be minimized. Having the outcome of something of this magnitude and long-term implications hinge on a single City Council member’s vote is likely reason enough to support the petition process as it unfolds. If the vote had been 7 to 0 or even 5 to 2 at a minimum I am not too sure I would feel this way. — Scott Ford ■ A vote is an excellent idea!

But I also know that utility rates should have been raised in regular increments over the past decade and were not. Our town was hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt just four years ago and on the brink of disaster. The board has scrimped and scraped to get this town back in the black over the past three years, and they have succeeded. I think one would be hard pressed to find many examples of frivolous spending (there are a few I’d agree), but the good news is that the budget has not yet been finalized and you still have time to offer your cost saving ideas!

On October 13th my opponent voted against a public vote on SB 700 annexation. Why a public vote? Too Many Unanswered Questions! How much will current residents pay for new water filtration and waste water treatment needed for the new annexation?

President Obama has not wavered on education reform Brooks continued from 4A reformers know more about how to build charters, and the research is showing solid results. Caroline Hoxby, of Stanford University, recently concluded a rigorous study of New York’s charter schools and found that they substantially narrowed the achievement gap between suburban and inner-city students. The changes also will mean that student performance increasingly will be a factor in how much teachers get paid and whether they keep their jobs. There is no consensus on exactly how to do this, but there is clear evidence that good teachers produce con-

sistently better student test scores. Teachers who do not produce good test scores need to be identified and counseled. Cracking the barrier that has been erected between student outcomes and teacher pay would be a huge gain. Duncan even seems to have made some progress in convincing the unions that they can’t just stonewall, they have to get involved in the reform process. The American Federation of Teachers recently announced innovation grants for performance pay ideas. The New Haven School District has just completed a new teacher contract, with union support, that includes many of the best reform ideas.

There are still many places, such as Washington, where the unions are dogmatically trying to keep bad teachers in the classrooms. But if implemented well, the New Haven contract could be a sign of perestroika even within the education establishment. “I’ve been deeply disturbed by a lot that’s going on in Washington,” Jeb Bush said Thursday, “but this is not one of them. President Obama has been supporting a reform secretary, and this is deserving of Republican support.” Bush’s sentiment is echoed across the spectrum, from Newt Gingrich to Al Sharpton. During the next months, there will be more efforts to

water down reform. Some groups are offering to get behind health care reform in exchange for gutting education reform. Politicians from both parties are going to lobby fiercely to ensure that their state gets money, regardless of the merits. So will governors who figure they’re going to lose out in the award process. But Obama understood from the start that this would only work if the awards remain fiercely competitive. He has not wavered. We’re not close to reaching the educational Promised Land, but we may be at the start of what Rahm Emanuel calls The Quiet Revolution.

cial space just west of the cur rent city limits. Some say Steamboat 700 would give the city a smart place to grow, provide affordable housing and help pay for need ed city improvements; others say the annexation is too large, is happening too fast and does not adequately address impacts to the city’s water supplies, traf fic and more. Steamboat Springs residents Omar Campbell, Greg Rawlings, Terry Armstrong, Tim Rowse and Cindy Constantine have formed a committee called Let’s Vote to lead a petition drive to send the Steamboat 700 annexa tion to a public vote. Petitioners must collect at least 829 signa tures by Nov. 12 to trigger the referendum process. If the petitioners succeed, the City Council will first have the opportunity to repeal the annexation. If it doesn’t repeal it, the question will go to voters in a special election likely to be held in January or February. It would be an all-mail election, like the Nov. 3 vote. It is at that point, Mulcahy said, that a public education campaign would be launched with the intention of swaying public opinion in favor of the annexation. “We’re hoping at the end of the day the electorate supports the decision that fulfills what the city has been planning for the last 15 years,” Mulcahy said.

Barack Obama was informed. Many aviation safety experts and pilots say the most likely explanation is that the pilots fell asleep along their route from San Diego. NTSB spokesman Keith Holloway said fatigue and cockpit distraction are factors that will be looked into. “We were not asleep; we were not having an argument; we were not having a fight,” Cole said, but would not discuss why it took so long for him and the flight’s captain, Timothy B. Cheney, of Gig Harbor, Wash., to respond to radio calls.

already told you way too much.” Air traffic controllers and pilots had tried for more than an hour Wednesday night to contact the Minneapolis-bound flight. Officials on the ground alerted National Guard jets to prepare to chase the airliner, though none of the military planes left the runway. The jet with 144 passengers aboard was being closely monitored by senior White House officials, White House spokesman Nick Shapiro told The Associated Press on Saturday. He didn’t say whether President

A Denver initiative requiring police to impound the vehicles of unlicensed drivers is the highest-profile measure to go before Colorado voters Nov. 3, because of the debate about whether it targets undocumented immigrants who can’t get driver’s licenses. The Denver City Council passed a proclamation earlier this month urging voters to defeat the measure because it

would be too expensive and tie up police resources. Councilman Doug Linkhart said police should have discretion about whether to tow vehicles of drivers who don’t have licenses with them. Dan Hayes, who sponsored the measure, said police are ignoring an initiative passed last year requiring them to seize vehicles of drivers not carrying licenses. Hayes rejected claims that the law targets illegal immigrants. “This isn’t racist. Everyone is treated the same,” Hayes said. Sabrina Karim, spokes-

woman for the Coloradans for Safe Communities campaign, said illegal immigrants would be among those most affected by the ordinance. She said the move could create a safety nightmare by forcing police to impound all vehicles and strand drivers and passengers. “I don’t think this gets to the heart of the public safety issue,” Karimret said. Police said they seize about 50 cars a day under the current ordinance and estimate that number would double if they were required to seize all vehicles.

Janitor charged in slaying of priest in New Jersey MORRISTOWN, N.J.

A janitor was charged with murder Saturday in the slaying of a priest whose body was found in the rectory of his northern New Jersey church. Morris County Prosecutor Robert Bianchi said 64-yearold Jose Feliciano stabbed and cut the Rev. Ed Hinds 32 times Thursday after the pair argued. Bianchi would not provide further details about the argument. The 61-year-old Hinds was in his clerical robes when he was killed while in the rectory kitchen of St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church in Chatham. Hinds’ body was found at about 8 a.m. Friday after he failed to show up for Mass. “Mr. Feliciano had gotten into an argument with the pastor at approximately 5 p.m. the night before,” Bianchi said. “It was during that altercation that the pastor was assaulted. Mr. Feliciano grabbed a knife inside of the rectory and inflicted the multiple stab wounds that led to the unfortunate demise of the pastor.”

Obama: Time for big banks to help small businesses WASHINGTON

Big banks that got big bailout bucks should return the favor by lending more to qualified small businesses, President Barack Obama said. In his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday, Obama said too many small business owners remain unable to get credit despite administration steps to jump-start lending, which was virtually frozen when the financial crisis took hold last year. “These are the very taxpayers who stood by America’s banks in a crisis, and now it’s time for our banks to stand by creditworthy small businesses and make the loans they need to open their doors, grow their operations and create new jobs,” Obama said. “It’s time for those banks to fulfill their responsibility to help ensure a wider recovery, a more secure system and more broadly shared prosperity,” said Obama. The president said the administration will “take every appropriate step to encourage them to meet those responsibilities.” He did not specify what those steps might be.

Taliban threaten Afghan voters in November runoff KABUL

Taliban militants threatened Afghans with violence Saturday if they vote in the Nov. 7 runoff presidential election, as President Hamid Karzai’s campaign ruled out any powersharing deal to avoid another ballot. Supporters of Karzai’s challenger, meanwhile, urged the country’s top three election officials to step down — alleging they were involved in rigging the first round of fraud-marred voting in August and should not be responsible for organizing the upcoming vote. President Barack Obama’s administration is hoping the runoff will produce a legitimate government after massive ballot-rigging sullied the firstround vote Aug. 20.

Pakistani army takes Taliban chief’s hometown ISLAMABAD

Pakistani soldiers captured the hometown of the country’s Taliban chief Saturday, a strategic and symbolic initial prize as the army pushes deeper into a militant stronghold along the Afghan border. An army spokesman said the Taliban were in disarray, with many deserting the ranks. The 8-day-old air and ground offensive in the South Waziristan tribal region is a key test of nuclear-armed Pakistan’s campaign against Islamist militancy. It already has spurred a civilian exodus and deadly retaliatory attacks.

Recyclers want more time to dispose of clunkers WASHINGTON

Trade-ins from the Cash for Clunkers program are piling up and auto recyclers are seeking more time to meet the deadline for disposing of all those vehicles. At some places, Ford Explor ers, Chevy Blazers, Chrysler Town & Country minivans and other popular clunkers are parked bumper to bumper on several acres, many marked

Under the program, the cars are required to be crushed or shredded within six months of the date the vehicle is transferred from the dealership. Recyclers say the deadline, even a few months away, will be hard as they try to remove spare parts such as transmissions, front and rear axles, starters and alternators. “True recycling is using something to its fullest potential and then recycling it over again by making it into steel and sending it out to become another

engine or transmission or car,” said Jeff Cantor, an auto recycler in Candia, N.H. “We’re breaking that circle here by crushing good quality parts. We can’t process them quick enough in six months.” Consumers bought nearly 700,000 new vehicles in late July and August through the program, taking advantage of rebates of as much as $4,500 on new cars in return for trading in their older vehicles. Congress tripled the size of its original $1 billion price tag

because of the program’s popularity. Used engines from the vehicles were required to be destroyed to promote improved fuel efficiency. The American Recyclers Asso ciation, a trade group representing auto recyclers, said the six-month deadline to crush the vehicles was developed in line with the initial $1 billion program, but never took into account the additional vehicles sold when the program was expanded.

Chamber likely will not continue with I-70 billboard advertisement Chamber continued from 3A OktoberWest, respectively, are here to stay. But funding levels might not be. The City Council and city staff members are working through the city’s 2010 budget, and Broyles said cuts could affect Chamber staff. “We’ve been asked by the city to try and maintain the same level of spending as we have in the past — they’re actually asking us to cut more from the overhead and expenses side of things,” she said. “We’re looking at ways to cut office expenses. … We’re talking

about furlough days.” The Chamber listed $331,869 in 2009 marketing expenses. How that money is allocated could change in 2010. “We will probably not pursue our outdoor advertising on the Front Range,” Broyles said. A billboard maintained on Interstate 70 in the Denver area for the past several years has been “a very expensive piece for us,” she said. In 2009 it cost the Chamber $32,000 to rent the billboard for four months. Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. picked up the tab for the other eight months.

“We’ll move those dollars back into research,” Broyles said, citing the Chamber’s intercept survey of visitors leaving the valley after a vacation. The Chamber has conducted the survey every other year since the early ’90s, Broyles said, with one gap earlier this decade. The Chamber does not plan to cut funding for Web marketing efforts. “The direction from the (Chamber’s) marketing committee … is to make sure that we maintain, if not increase, the amount of money we spend in

online initiatives,” she said. Tracy Barnett, of Mainstreet Steamboat Springs, said this year’s new events are cost-effective ways to bring new visitors to the valley and to give repeat visitors something new. “A lot of the events we’ve had have been around for 20, 25 years, and we needed something fresh,” she said. “I think the All Arts Festival is going to be something fabulous as it grows.” Barnett said ideas, help and buy-in from local business owners will be crucial as marketing efforts move forward in lean

economic times. “It’ll take commitment on parts of the businesses to help make those things happen,” she said. “There has to be commitment and passion on the parts of those businesses that will benefit the most.” — To reach Mike Lawrence, call 871-4233 or e-mail mlawrence@steamboatpilot.com

cost of the new, more visible location. “We had way more traffic, but we didn’t have more sales,” she said. When business did not pick up during the summer, she said she knew the end was coming. She gave a simple reason for the pet store’s closing. “The economy,” she said. “It’s just killing us. … We’re the boutique-y stuff, and unfortunately people aren’t buying that.” The store’s location is part of the Alpen Glow mixed-use development at Sixth Street and

Lincoln Avenue. Combs Wall said Green Courte Partners, a Chicago-based private-equity real estate firm that also owns Howelsen Place at Seventh and Lincoln, facilitated her store’s closing. “Green Courte has worked with me to be able to do this, and they have stepped over and above,” Combs Wall said. Jon Sanders is a commercial broker for Ski Town Lifestyle Properties, which Green Courte owns. Sanders said the firm is “in strong conversations” with an apparel shop about moving into the Felix & Fido location. He declined to name the shop but said it has stores in

Breckenridge and Keystone. Sanders said Howelsen Place has four retail vacancies, but two of those are restaurant locations on Yampa Street that are in lease negotiations and could open in late spring or summer 2010. Howelsen Place also has an office space available on the alley. Tracy Barnett, of Mainstreet Steamboat Springs, said several downtown businesses were looking for ways to make ends meet. “There are some others that are struggling — they’re working with their landlords to try and work through it,” Barnett said. “Several of them have

The actor, director, teacher and grammarian recognizes her attention to students and love for teaching but is scared by the new challenge, she said. “I know I can offer them the basics of the English language,” she said. “That’s no problem, but that’s not what teaching is about.”

Teaching from the heart The teaching part should come naturally. Joanne Churchill, a bookkeeper and registrar at the middle school who has worked with de Lucia as co-producer of school theater productions for the past 10 years, described de Lucia’s ability to get the attention of a room packed with children. “Here she has between 80 and 100 kids in front of her, and she has their undivided attention because of her ability to work with kids,” Churchill said.

16-year-old girl with the body of a 70-year-old woman, is at 7 p.m. at the Depot Art Center. Kelly Anzalone, who has helped de Lucia with children’s theater workshops and is technical director for “Kimberly Akimbo,” said the Steamboat theater community will miss de Lucia while she’s gone. “She’s not the kind of director that’s going to make you cry,” Anzalone said. “She’s very supportive and easy to work with, and I definitely like picking things like that up from her.” De Lucia is a board member for the Steamboat Community Players; has acted in community theater productions including Cabaret and “Godspell”; and is the director of the Discovery Program for 8- to 10-year-olds at Perry-Mansfield. Joining the Peace Corps has been a decades-long dream, but de Lucia’s sense of adventure isn’t the only thing driving her to far-off places to share her natural talent for teaching. Charlotte “Kingo” Perry, who nicknamed de Lucia “Rusty” for her russet-colored hair, gave the young actress her first teaching job at PerryMansfield in 1958. Born Nancy Jane de Lucia, Rusty taught children’s acting classes at the camp until 1965 and took a break to spend the summers with her three children — Audry, Charlotte and Jedd — until 1989. De Lucia has been on the faculty at PerryMansfield every summer since. “Mostly since I’ve been retired from the middle school I’ve realized what a joyful, wonderful life I’ve had. … I’ve just had a feeling for at least two years now that really it’s time to pay it forward,” de Lucia said. “I really want to give to someone else what Kingo gave to me: The opportunity to live life to its fullest.” — To reach Margaret Hair, call 871-4204 or e-mail mhair@steamboatpilot.com

Obama says pandemic keeps evolving Obama continued from 1A them to give less information during a hectic time — to quicken access to treatment, with government approval, under the declaration. It also addresses a financial question for hospitals — reimbursement for treating people at sites not typically approved. For instance, federal rules do not allow hospitals to put up treatment tents more than 250 yards away from the doors; if the tents are 300 yards or more away, typically federal dollars won’t go to pay for treatment. Administration officials said those rules might not make sense while fighting the swine flu, especially if the best piece

of pavement is in the middle of a parking lot and some medical centers already are putting in place parts of their emergency plans. The national emergency declaration was the second of two steps needed to give Sebelius extraordinary powers. On April 26, the administration declared swine flu a public health emergency, allowing the shipment of roughly 12 million doses of flu-fighting medications from a federal stockpile to states in case they eventually needed them. At the time, there were 20 confirmed cases in the U.S. of people recovering easily. There was no vaccine against swine flu, but the CDC had taken the initial step necessary for produc-

ing one. “As a nation, we have prepared at all levels of government, and as individuals and communities, taking unprecedented steps to counter the emerging pandemic,” Obama wrote in Saturday’s declaration. He said the pandemic keeps evolving, the rates of illness are rising rapidly in many areas and there’s a potential “to overburden health care resources.” The government now hopes to have about 50 million doses of swine flu vaccine out by midNovember and 150 million in December. The flu virus has to be grown in chicken eggs, and the yield hasn’t been as high as was initially hoped, officials have said.

on the market Moving Mountains Chalets expanding pilot & today staff

Steamboat Springs lodging company Moving Mountains Chalets is experiencing significant growth in advance of the coming winter season, spokeswoman Riley Polumbus said last week in a news release. Moving Mountains Chalets has increased its inventory of luxury vacation homes by more than 50 percent since last ski season, Polumbus said. “In the current slow real estate market, smart owners are realizing that vacation home rental offers the opportunity to develop a revenue stream that enhances the value of their home and provides income to defer the costs of ownership,” owner Robin Craigen said. Moving Mountains Chalets has been chosen to represent owners of some private, whole-ownership residences at One Steamboat Place, the Timbers Resorts development at the base of Steamboat Ski Area, Polumbus said. Moving Mountains has added two new positions to its management staff: Alex Pallut, as guest services manager, and Polumbus, as marketing and communications manager.

Southwest Airlines to expand Denver flights The Denver Post

Southwest Airlines announced Thursday that it is adding 13 daily flights and six new nonstop destinations to and from Denver. Southwest also has acquired two additional gates at Denver International Airport, where it is the thirdlargest carrier, and plans to hire more people to support the increased service. The new daily nonstop roundtrips from Denver beginning March 14 are to Hartford, Conn.; Boise; Ontario, Calif.; Detroit, Washington Dulles, and Oklahoma City. Tickets for those flights are on sale beginning Thursday. Eight additional daily nonstop roundtrips will begin in May between Denver and Sacramento, Tulsa, New Orleans, Portland, Oakland, Baltimore/Washington, Seattle and New York LaGuardia.

Hayden land bids rejected Officials say auction offers are no reflection on Steamboat’s affordability

teamboat Springs city planners and a regional housing official said last week that rock-bottom bids at a Hayden land auction are not a reflection of Steamboat’s real estate market or need for affordable housing. An Oct. 18 auction of residential lots at the Dry Creek Village subdivision in Hayden saw 43 of the 54 lots in the subdivision’s Phase 1 go up for grabs. But just 12 of the Story by lots received bids, most at a Mike Lawrence price of about $25,000. The day’s highest bid was $43,000. Sellers Jon Peddie and Jim Woods say they have about $70,000 invested in each of the 54 lots, which average 7,000 square feet in size and feature infrastructure accepted by the town of Hayden including water, sewer and paved roads. After the auction ended, Peddie and Woods decided not to accept any of the bids. “All of the low bids — the 25 and 30 (thousand) — we did not accept, and we’re having discussions with those buyers,” Peddie said last week. The Dry Creek Village site is just south of U.S. Highway 40 between downtown Hayden and Yampa Valley Regional Airport. Sales on 11 lots have closed since 2008, but no sales occurred in the second or third quarters of 2009. The slowing trickle of buyers and the lack of acceptable bids Oct. 18 is occurring just 25 miles west of Steamboat, where city leaders for years have debated how and whether to legislate affordable housing policies. Peddie thinks lower real estate prices in Hayden provide an option for people seeking affordable housing in the Steamboat Springs area. “We firmly believe that the market for entrylevel homes is there, we believe it’s in Hayden, and we believe that we’re the solution,” he said about Dry Creek Village. “I guess the question is, ‘What’s affordable?’ Is a single-family house in Hayden that’s $250,000, is that affordable?” Peddie said he could feasibly accept prices of $40,000 to $45,000 on some of the less valuable lots at Dry Creek Village, and he said a construction loan to build on those lots could add another $200,000 for the buyer. He and Woods are offering “very aggressive financing and some level of seller subordination” to attract homebuilders, he said, to “get some homes going” and thereby increase the value of other Dry Creek Village lots. Buyers who get in early, Peddie said, could have a shot at a home that would be well below the Steamboat Springs market. Tom Leeson, Steamboat Springs planning and community development director, said despite the recession and declining market, “there are no single-family homes (in Steamboat) for less than $500,000.” He noted that he was not including condominiums.

Auctioneer Scott Shuman looks over a quiet crowd Oct. 18 at the Dry Creek land auction in Hayden. Residential lot sales lagged at the auction, while 25 miles east on U.S. Highway 40, affordable housing continues to be a hot topic for debate.

“Hayden and Steamboat are two totally different markets,” Leeson said. “They’re different buyers.” Recalling his own experience after buying his first home — in Orange County, Calif. — Peddie said the commute from Hayden to Steamboat is a reasonable concession for working families trying to purchase their first home.

’Boat or bust But many prospective homebuyers are stuck on Steamboat. Mary Alice Page-Allen, asset and program manager for the Yampa Valley Housing Authority, said she is seeing little interest in homes outside of city limits. “Most of the folks that I’m working with are focusing on Steamboat,” she said. “What I’m seeing are a lot of folks who are looking to take advantage of the first-time homebuyer tax See Hayden, page 2B

30-year mortgage rates inch up to 5 percent Alan Zibel

The Associated Press

Washington

Rates for 30-year home loans have inched up, hitting 5 percent for the first time in nearly a month after bond yields edged up.

The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage was 5 percent this week, up from 4.92 percent a week earlier, mortgage company Freddie Mac reported Thursday. It was the highest average since the week of September 24, when rates averaged 5.04 percent. While above the record low

of 4.78 percent hit in the spring, rates are still attractive for people looking to buy a home or refinance. To prop up the housing market and help the economy recover from the worst recession since the 1930s, the Federal Reserve has been engaged in

an extraordinary level of support, spending $1.25 trillion on mortgage-backed securities, which has driven down rates on home loans. Last month, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and his colleagues agreed to slow down the pace of the program to buy

mortgage securities from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Instead of wrapping up the purchases by the end of this year, the Fed now plans to do so by the end of March. Despite the government’s See Rates, page 2B

Page-Allen said she is working with a variety of young professionals looking for Steam boat homes. The percentages she cited refer to area median income. Leeson said Steamboat’s biggest housing need is for families earning less than 120 percent AMI, which for a two-income family is $77,400 annually. Page-Allen said she qualified a buyer in that range last week for a deed-restricted unit at Fox Creek Village on Hilltop Parkway. At least one member of a qualifying household has to work in Routt County, and the household must have total assets of less than $100,000, according to the deed restrictions. Page-Allen said the unit was on the market for just nine days. Meanwhile, Peddie said he and Woods have not closed on any additional Dry Creek lots and are negotiating with possible buyers, “trying to get them to what we feel we can sell them for.” “I think even the buyers acknowledged that the numbers that were thrown at the auction were more an indication of fishing for a distress situation … and that just wasn’t our situation,” Peddie said. “Our situation was an effort to offer a very, very good deal to get people

An auction notice was posted at the Dry Creek lots, which include a playground and walking paths.

to buy some houses … and get local construction back going.” Peddie said Hayden is overlooked as a community. “One of the things that people discount, I think, is the true quality of life in Hayden — it is a very friendly, accommodating, good community to live in,” he said. Page-Allen said the Housing Authority has no resources at the moment to buy land, but that even if it did, she likely would not look outside of the immediate Steamboat Springs area. She said the Housing Authority

works within the boundaries of the Steamboat Springs Rural Fire Protection District, which essentially forms a ring around Steamboat. Its boundaries are about one mile west of Milner, just past Lake Catamount south of town and about halfway to Clark to the north. “To buy something in Hayden at this point doesn’t make a lot of sense,” Page-Allen said. “Because folks want to live here.” — To reach Mike Lawrence, call 871-4233 or e-mail mlawrence@steamboatpilot.com

5-year ARMs at 4.4 percent Rates continued from 1B effort to support the housing market, qualifying for a loan is still tough. Lenders have tightened their standards dramatically, so the best rates are available to those with solid credit and a 20 percent down payment. Freddie Mac collects mortgage rates Monday through Wednesday of each week from lenders across the country. Rates often fluctuate significantly, even within a given day, often in line with long-term Treasury bonds. The average rate on a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage rose to 4.43 percent, from 4.37 percent last week, according to Freddie Mac. Rates on five-year, adjustable-rate mortgages averaged 4.4 percent, up from 4.38 percent a week earlier. Rates on one-year, adjustable-rate mortgages fell to 4.54 percent from 4.6 percent. The rates do not include add-on fees known as points. The nationwide fee for loans in Freddie Mac’s survey averaged 0.7 points for 30-year loans. The fee averaged 0.6 points for 15-year, five-year and one-year loans.

Water storage rights were decreed to the Wilson and Vanderbloemen Ponds from other sources in Case Nos. 95CW157 and 95CW158, respectively. The decreed location of the Wilson Pond is the NE1/4 of the NW1/4 of Section 4, T5N, R84W, 6th P.M., Routt County, Colorado, at a point 450 feet from the North line and 1750 from the West line of said Section 4.

Exhibit B. 4. Provide a detailed outline of what has been done toward completion or for completion of the appropriation and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures: A. Every year since at least 2006, Steamboat Springs, in cooperation with Catamount Development, Inc. and Catamount Metropolitan District (collectively referred to as “Catamount”), has diverted water through the Catamount Pipeline for irrigation of the Golf Course and the Hay Meadow. Water diverted through the Catamount Pipeline for the benefit of Steamboat Springs is turned out to a lateral of the Enterprise Ditch, which is located on land owned by Catamount Metropolitan District. The water then flows north to the Golf Course. After reaching the Golf Course, water from the Catamount Pipeline is diverted and stored in the Wilson and Vanderloemen Ponds before being pumped through the irrigation system for irrigation of the Golf Course. Water is also delivered through the Enterprise Ditch system to the north end of the Golf Course where it is then delivered to the Hay Meadow for irrigation. In addition, water from the Enterprise Ditch that is delivered to the Wilson Pond can be delivered by pipe to the Vanderbloemen Pond for irrigation and other uses within the Vanderbloemen Pond. B. During the diligence period, Steamboat Springs and Catamount have made several improvements to the Enterprise Ditch lateral that delivers water to the Golf Course. Catamount installed a Parshall flume at the location where the Catamount Pipeline delivers water to the Enterprise Ditch lateral. Steamboat Springs measures water delivered from the Catamount Pipeline to the Golf Course at this flume. Steamboat Springs installed a Parshall flume where the Enterprise Ditch enters the Golf Course property and made improvements to diversion boxes on the Golf Course that split water in the Enterprise Ditch between the Golf Course and the Larson property to the west. Steamboat Springs has also made improvements to the splitter box on the Enterprise Ditch for water leaving the northern portion of the Golf Course. This splitter box facilitates delivery of water to the Hay Meadow for irrigation. Together, these improvements allow water diverted through the Catamount Pipeline to be delivered to and used on the Golf Course and the Hay Meadow by means of direct diversion and storage in the Wilson and Vanderbloemen Ponds. C. During the diligence period has continually maintained and expanded the Golf Course irrigation system. In the last six years, Steamboat Springs has added approximately 150 heads to the Golf Course sprinkler irrigation system. 5. Claim to make absolute. A. Date water applied to beneficial use: August 25, 2006. Amount: 1.0 cfs. Use: Irrigation of the Golf Course and the Hay Meadow, reservoir evaporation, fire fighting, wildlife, piscatorial, and aesthetic purposes in Wilson and Vanderbloemen Ponds. Records of total diversions through the Catamount Pipeline for the years 2006 through 2008 are attached hereto as Exhibit C. B. Description of place of use where water is applied to beneficial use. Irrigation of the Golf Course and the Hay Meadow. Reservoir evaporation, fire fighting, wildlife, piscatorial, and aesthetic purposes occur in Wilson and Vanderbloemen Ponds. 6. Names(s) and address(es) of owner(s) or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool. A. Michael and Susanne Holloran: P.O. Box 773600 Steamboat Springs CO 80477-3600. B. Clay and Candace Rogers: P.O. Box 882290 Steamboat Springs, CO 80488-2290. C. Lufkin Ranches, LLC: P.O. Box 883001 Steamboat Springs, CO 80488. D. Wildflower Meadow Owners Association, Inc.: c/o Airsure Limited 25548 Genesee Trail Road Golden, CO 80401-9366. E. Shenandoah Properties, LLC: 3995 S. Colorado Boulevard Englewood, CO 80113. F. Catamount Metropolitan District: James Somerville P.O. Box 600 Edwards, CO 81632-0600. G. Catamount Development, Inc.: c/o David Hill P.O. Box 774707 Steamboat Springs, CO 80477. 7. Remarks or any other pertinent information: Steamboat Springs seeks a decree confirming that the conditional water right for the Steamboat Springs Catamount Pipeline Diversion has been made fully absolute in the amount of 1.0 cfs for the decreed uses. In the alternative, if the Court finds that all or part of the conditional water right has not been made absolute, Steamboat Springs seeks decree confirming that it has exercised reasonable diligence toward completing the appropriation and continuing the conditional water right in full force and effect for another six-year diligence period.

Design ‘doctors’ cure decor ills at low cost ORLANDO, Fla.

In the present tough economy, a lot of homeowners simply can’t afford to spend big bucks on lavish redecorating projects. But that doesn’t mean the home-improvement bug has quit biting, said interior designer Debbie Sheaf, owner of Debbie Sheaf & Associates in Orlando, Fla.

As a result, she and her business partner, Pamela Doerr, have reinvented themselves as the “Doctors of Design.” They’ve even taken to wearing white lab coats when making house calls. To help clients redecorate on a tight budget, Sheaf has come up with a special “Rx plan.” For a basic $350 fee, she and her associates diagnose a room’s ills, then write a prescription to effect a cure. “First, we show you how

Rx: Create a fresh color scheme to harmonize with leather furniture: pale sage walls, deep sage carpeting, window treatments and accent pieces in sage, caramel, brown and black. Add two fabriccovered recliners in coordinating print. Ailment: Multicolored brick fireplace looks too busy. Rx: Paint bricks to coordinate with new color scheme. Ailment: Painting above fireplace did not suit new design. Rx: Replace with a moresuitable painting from the living room. Ailment: Tile floor too hard and cold for kids to sit or sleep on. Rx: Lay carpeting over tile. Ailment: More storage needed. Bar counter too high. Rx: Build custom cabinets under bar to house books, games, CD, DVDs. Purchase new stools for lower bar counter in kitchen. Ailment: No space for bigscreen TV and electronics. Rx: Find a low console to house new TV and electronics. Ailment: Not enough light. Rx: Add ceiling light with fan and two table lamps. Ailment: Malfunctioning, outdated vertical blinds. Rx: Install new faux-wood verticals. Ailment: Computer, printer and files housed in bulky console and filing cabinets. Rx: Turn deep, wide closet into mini study when funds are available. In the meantime, move office equipment and files to little-used corner of kitchen. According to the homeowner, the makeover turned out to be just what the doctor ordered.

to rearrange the furniture, art work and accessories you already own to create a fresh look,” Sheaf explained. Then her team draws up a work sheet. It outlines treatments for walls, windows and floors, suggests additional furnishings and includes a list of recommended sources and services. The idea is to provide an affordable home care plan that clients can implement as time and budget allow, she explained. She recently helped a Winter Park, Fla., family transform its outdated, overcrowded family room into a comfortable, wellequipped and stylish recreation room for the children — and a corner of the kitchen into a computer station. It worked like this:

A Denver grand jury has indicted developer Erik Osborn, charging him with one count of theft in connection with a downtown condo project. The indictment, issued Wednesday, alleges that Osborn diverted money from a development project at 1800 Glenarm Place controlled by capital-funds manager Michelle Brokaw. Brokaw, who is suing Osborn, declined to comment on the indictment. Osborn and his attorney, Charles Fife, could not be reached for comment. “There is an active warrant out for (Osborn’s) arrest,” said Lynn Kimbrough, spokeswoman for the Denver district attorney’s office. “At some point, he will be taken into custody, he will be booked through, he will post a bond or he won’t, and his court dates will be set.” According to the indictment, Brokaw in 2006 entered into a joint venture with Osborn, called Glenarm Residences Development Corp., to convert the property from an office building to luxury condominiums. Glenarm Residences is out $153,080 and an additional $105,000 in mechanics liens filed as a result of Osborn’s diverting money for personal and business purposes unrelated to redevelopment of the property, the indictment states. If convicted, Osborn faces as many as 12 years in prison. Osborn already is accused of two third-degree felony counts and faces as many as 24 years in prison if convicted of both counts. He still is awaiting trial on the charges, issued in January 2008. Those charges allege he

diverted about $147,000 from the luxury One Lincoln Park condo project downtown and $108,000 from an office-building renovation at 5351 S. Roslyn St. in Greenwood Village. He allegedly used the money for improvements to his own home. In addition to Brokaw, Osborn also is being sued by numerous other people connected to his developments, including architect Brad Buchanan and real-estate agent Julie Gelfond.

Home sales increase 9.4 percent in September the associated press

WASHINGTON

Racing to complete their purchases before a tax credit for first-time owners expires, homebuyers pushed sales up last month by the largest amount in more than 26 years. After jumping 9.4 percent in September, home resales are up nearly 24 percent from the bottom in January, the National Association of Realtors said Friday. But the housing market’s momentum could easily peter out if Congress doesn’t extend the credit of as much as $8,000 for first-time buyers beyond its current Nov. 30 deadline. John Kindschi, a 33-yearold aircraft mechanic who lives north of Seattle, didn’t want to miss out. After a yearlong search, he and his family bought a three-bedroom house for $206,000, completing the purchase last week. “It was getting down to crunch time,” he said. “We had no idea if the credit was going to be extended.”

SPORTS COMMENTARY

Wild rides with new focus on World Cup

nowboarder Vic Wild has been waiting for this winter, but for the Olympic hopeful it’s about a lot more than gold, silver or bronze. It’s about getting back on snow and racing. Last season, an ankle injury forced the Alpine snowboard racer to watch from the sidelines as the top athletes in his sport battled for position on the World Cup circuit. It was frustrating. Wild broke his ankle in 2007, but it never healed properly. Finally, he decided to take a seat and let the doctors have a shot at repairing the ankle. This year, after enduring four off-season surgeries to repair the crippled ankle, Wild is back on snow and back in the World Cup standings with an eighthplace finish at the opening event of the season. The parallel slalom event was held Oct. 9 in Landgraaf, Netherlands. “I started riding again in August,” Wild said. “I was stoked with my finish. It was a decent way to start off the season, but I don’t think it really means anything. It was just a good result.” Wild was the top Ame rican in the event, which is held in an indoor ski area built in the Netherlands. Benjamin Karl, of Austria, won the race, Mathieu Bozzetto, of France, was second and Jasey Jay Anderson, of Canada, was third. Other Americans at the top of the results included several with ties to Steamboat Springs. Zac Kay was 14th, Tyler Jewell was 15th, Justin Reiter was 16th, and Josh Wylie was 17th. Wild said he was thrilled with the finish, but he said it would have little impact on his drive to make the U.S. Olympic Team this winter. “This result doesn’t change anything,” Wild said. “I’m not thinking about the Olympics. I am focused on doing what I need to do to become one of the strongest riders on the World Cup. When I get to that point, the Olympics will fall into place.” Wild said he prefers to focus on the big picture instead of one event like the Olympics. “We will train thousands of days and compete hundreds of times in a career,” Wild said. “It’s not healthy to think that it’s all about one day and one competition. The Olympics are cool, and I can’t say that I don’t want to be there. But snowboarding is about a lot more than just the Olympics for me.” Wild trained with the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club from 2002 through 2007. These days, he is living in Park City, Utah, in an effort to stay close to the U.S. Snowboarding team and its resources. However, Wild said he still gets back to Steamboat Springs and also finds a few days each season to train with Winter Sports Club coach Thedo Remmelink.

Tigers top Rams

Hayden’s late heroics down Soroco in 3 Joel Reichenberger PILOT & TODAY STAFF

HAYDEN

The Hayden girls volleyball team knocked off Soroco in three games Saturday evening. Still, no one watching would have called the performance dominating. The Tigers put together perfectly timed runs in each of the three games, and the 25-23, 27-25 and 25-18 win

secured Hayden a season sweep against its cross-county rival. “It feels great to get a sweep,” Hayden senior Keisha McClintock said. “We played the best we could. We went out with a lot of enthusiasm and energy.” The Tigers, 5-13 in the season, managed the victory with clean and efficient ball handling and a bevy of powerful swings. Jarah Woodley and Samantha Huffar combined for 33 assists,

and Ashlee Doolin and Rachael Koehler each had eight kills. Erin Koehler led with nine. Soroco’s defense often proved resilient, but Doolin and the Koehler sisters kept the hard attacks coming, and time and time again that made the difference. “We played all of our seniors today since it was their last See Tigers, page 3C

Steamboat Springs soccer player Andrew White hugs his mother, Katie, while his dad, Brian, watches Thursday when the seniors were introduced during halftime of their game against Moffat County High School. The win against the Bulldogs helped the Sailors clinch the league title for the first time since 2001.

Roots of a title

Steamboat soccer inconsistent in ’08, No. 1 in ’09

ndrew White was on tilt. The Steamboat Springs High School senior soccer player may have been the worst poker player in town Thursday after Steamboat beat Moffat County, 3-0. While waiting for the Battle Mountain-Eagle Valley game to finish so they could find out whether Steamboat had won a Western Slope League title, White, Johnathon Ricker and Colton Harding played poker. Coach Rob Bohlmann “called us when it went into overtime, and we were freaking out,” White said. “I played really bad. I wasn’t able to keep my mind on my hands, ever. But it was a good feeling.” That feeling only got better when Battle Mountain and Eagle Valley played to a scoreless draw, giving Steamboat its first league title since 2001.

sundayfocus Story by Luke graham But the road to the title started much earlier for the Sailors. The real story began last season. The 2008 campaign started well for Steamboat. The Sailors fired out to a 7-0 record and looked like the class of the league. But inconsistent play down the stretch left Steamboat with third in the league and a first-round playoff exit. “We got to a point where it leveled off,” senior Sam Glaisher said. “The end of the season went downhill. This year we came in with that focus. We wanted to peak at the end.” Steamboat seemed to do that. After the team struggled

to find the net and played to a draw against many league opponents, things started to come together. It started after a 2-1 loss against Summit in late September. By their own accounts, the Sailors didn’t play well. They left the pitch feeling and knowing they were the better team. From there, Glaisher said, the team knew what it had to do if it wanted to win the league and potentially host a first-round playoff game. The results on the field weren’t up to the athletes’ expectations. After that loss, Steamboat finished the season on a tear. The Sailors went 5-0-1 in their last six and started looking like a team that was the class of the league. “We just never give up,”

White said. “We’re inconsistent sometimes. But we never lose that momentum. We don’t lose the thing that helps us get that goal. We’re always fighting is the best way to describe it.” That’s why the Sailors aren’t satisfied with just winning the league title. Although the team isn’t sure whether it will host a home playoff game, the goal now is clear. Steamboat will find out today where the team will be in the first round of the playoffs, when the Colorado High School Activities Association releases the seeds. Although the Sailors will probably play a team they’ve never seen, at this point Steamboat feels like it’s not about the opponent. Rather, it’s what the Sailors do. “Right now we’re peaking and still getting there,” White said. “We still have a lot to prove.”

Craig Anderson made a season-high 48 saves, Chris Stewart and T.J. Galiardi each had a goal and an assist, and the Colorado Avalanche continued their surprising start with a 3-1 victory against the Detroit Red Wings on Sat urday night. Saturday’s Kris Draper game: scored his second Avs 3 Red Wings 1 goal of the season and Jimmy Howard had 20 saves for the Red Wings, who are winless in their last three games. Colorado, which was picked by many to finish out of the playoffs for the second straight season, is 8-1-2 after its second victory in two nights and leads the Western Conference with 18 points. With the score tied 1-all, Stewart took a pass from Galiardi, skated into the Detroit zone and beat Howard with a shot from the top of the right circle with 10:20 left in the game. The Red Wings had a chance to tie when they had three power plays late in the third period, including 3 seconds of 5-on-3, but they couldn’t beat Anderson despite putting eight shots on goal. Detroit pulled Howard with 1:10 left and Paul Stastny, serving his third penalty of the game, came out of the box, picked up a loose puck and sealed the win with an empty-net goal with 59 seconds left. Draper gave the Red Wings a 1-0 lead early in the second period. Dan Cleary corralled the puck on the left board and sent a pass between the legs of defenseman Kyle Quincey to Draper, who was screening Anderson. Draper spun and backhanded the puck past the Colorado goalie with 16:51 left in the frame.

Rams still loved the ride

Soroco football remains happy with 8-man decision Joel Reichenberger PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The story was in the tears. The Soroco High School football team lost for the first and last time Friday night, the dreams of an undefeated regular Joel Reichenberger/staff season ground into the cold dirt Soroco coach David Bruner speaks to his team before Friday night’s game against by an aggressive and physical group of kids from Norwood. Norwood that pitted the 7-0 Rams against the 7-0 Mavericks.

“This hurts,” senior quarterback Cody Miles said. It did hurt. After exchanging handshakes with the Mavericks and receiving words from the Soroco coaches, Miles quietly took a seat on a sideline bench and dropped his head to his hands. There were four seniors on the 2009 Soroco football team, and all but Matt Watwood — hob-

bled and on crutches because of a bad ankle — played big roles in Friday night’s game. As Miles sulked, Gage Achtner and Alex Estes exchanged tearful hugs with friends and family. It hurt them all, and even as a dream was denied, that was the best news the Rams could get. See Soroco, page 3C

sports home game, and I told them there was no pressure, just to go out and have fun,” Hayden coach Greg Johnson said. “That’s the way they played. They were loose, they had some fun, and they played with their hearts.” Soroco, meanwhile, proved to be a team entirely unwilling to go away, but equally unable to put it away. Three of the games were neck-and-neck throughout. The Rams had a 23-22 lead late in the first game, but a Rachael Koehler kill helped the Tigers recover and pull ahead for the win. “We talked before about taking Rachael out of her game, but we couldn’t do it enough,” Soroco coach Kim Reeves said. “She’s a really good hitter because she moves around so much. Our blocks and our defense weren’t ever sure where she was going to go.” The second game was even closer. Soroco again took a late lead, 24-23, but missed twice on game-point opportunities. Hayden finally strung together three consecutive points — two thanks to Rachael Koehler, who had a kill and a block — and took another game. Finally, in the third, the

Rams stormed back from two significant holes. They were down 5-1 but went up 13-12. Then, after surrendering six consecutive points, they trailed 18-13 only to again pull within two points. Hayden found one last spurt and closed out the final game, scoring five of the last seven points. Soroco was sent packing in three games for the second consecutive night, after losing in three Friday at Vail Mountain. “We played awesome tonight. They just put down a few more balls than we did,” Reeves said. “It was the same as Friday night. We were right with them the whole time, but we had a couple more errors.” Both teams return to action next weekend at the district volleyball tournament in Meeker, where they’ll fight for a chance to move on in the postseason. “We’re going into districts without having to play in the pigtail, so that’s huge for us,” Reeves said, referring to the play-in game for districts. “We just need to have some big practices this week before that tournament.” — To reach Joel Reichenberger, call 871-4253 or e-mail jreichenberger@steamboatpilot.com

Steamboat boys qualify for state Luke Graham

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The Steamboat Springs High School boys cross-country team finished third at the regional meet Saturday in Aspen, punching its ticket for the state meet next weekend. Sailors coach Andy Reust said the boys ran the race they needed to. “The boys ran really well,” he said. “To make it to state, they just had to run solid. They didn’t have to run their best race. They just had to run a pretty solid race, and they all did.” Gus Allen paced Steamboat with a fifth-place finish at 18:02. Jack Burger finished sixth with 18:09, and Asher Rohde finished 12th with 18:33. Scott Powers, Jeff Sperry, Hunter Thompson and Byron Brane ran well for Steamboat and helped get the Sailors to state. On the girls side, Katherine Lynch (23:04) and Cassady Daley (25:53) each ran close to their best times of the year, Reust said, but finished outside of the top 15 and didn’t qualify for state. The course was relatively flat

but was mostly on grass. Add in a little snow, and Reust said it wasn’t the fastest course. Still, Steamboat’s runners didn’t let the weather affect them. “We’ve been telling (the runners) all year, all these races we’ve been doing is practice for this,” Reust said. “This is the one it all comes down to. They trained really well, and everybody came through. Everybody placed where we thought they would. In fact, they all came in a little bit ahead of where we wanted. Nobody came in below where we thought they would.” Now Steamboat will prepare for the state meet Oct. 31 at Fossil Ridge High School in Fort Collins. Reust said considering how young the boys team is — only two runners have been to state — he hasn’t put any expectations on the athletes. He said right now, the team is just enjoying its accomplishments. “It’s wide open,” he said. “I just want to see the guys go out and have fun. This team is young. Last year they were senior-dominated. To put tog— ether the season they did this year is pretty remarkable.”

Season record

“I see how much this hurts you guys,” Soroco coach David Bruner hollered at midfield post-game, his team gathered around him as he choked back his own emotion. “I remember what it was like when we lost four years ago. No one was crying after a game then. No one cared that much.”

A decade to forget The loss marked the end of one of the best seasons in the history of football at Soroco. The Rams, 7-1, came within 11 minutes of their first undefeated season in 41 years. There was a mighty canyon of despair between those banner seasons. Soroco’s struggles have been particularly acute the past decade. After fielding just 17 players in 1999, the team opted to forgo a varsity squad and compete only against junior varsity competition. The Rams returned to a full varsity team in 2002. They were assigned to the Western Slope League and annually butted heads with cross-county rival Hayden and a half-dozen other area teams. There were several bright spots in the period. The 2003 team earned the school’s first trip to the playoffs in 12 years. It was flushed in the first round by two-time defending state champions, Akron, but it seemed like progress. Then the 2005 team went 5-4 with three Western Slope wins. Although it lost the last game of the season, 38-14, at Hayden, Soroco had entered that game with another chance at the playoffs. Outside those two campaigns, however, it was rough going. Soroco won just one league game in 2004 and went winless in the Western Slope in 2006 and 2007, winning only one varsity game in that two-year stretch. Those losses left administrators again contemplating a drop down, this time to 8-man competition instead of junior varsity. One massive problem loomed.

* First season of 8-man football

Though attendance numbers at Soroco High School were in decline, they weren’t falling fast enough, and the Rams weren’t technically eligible to play 8-man football. “A team can still drop down,” Colorado State High School Activities Association Commissioner Bill Reader said, “but they have to have had a winning percentage under 0.20 for four years to be eligible for the postseason.” Soroco’s winning percentage for the four seasons preceding its drop to 8-man football was 0.207, largely thanks to the 2005 team’s playoff push, the only season in the span in which the Rams won more than two varsity games. That left the school with tough choices. It could continue to play 11-man football against long odds or drop down to 8-man, suffer through two years without a chance at the postseason and hope the enrollment numbers dipped low enough to let the Rams in for 2010.

All the right moves So when Soroco closed out its season in 2007 with a 49-12 loss to a three-win Rangely team, there weren’t many heartbroken players. Injuries exacerbated the Rams’ troubles in 2006 and 2007, and there was clearly talent in the pipeline. Some of that talent considered transferring for a chance at playoff glory, including Miles and Estes, who combined to score all of the team’s touchdowns in Friday night’s game. “I thought about it, but I’m glad I didn’t do anything like that,” Miles said after the loss. It was the kind of game that could make a dedicated

player weep. Norwood won thanks to a hard-nosed, relentless running game. The Mavericks’ Jordan Nielson rumbled for 300 yards, almost all of it seemingly coming after first contact. He repeatedly plowed through tacklers and always fell forward for an extra couple of yards. He helped his team bounce back from a fourth-quarter deficit and then power on for a 41-20 victory. “That was just an awful good team,” Bruner said afterward, wearily. Despite the loss, had Soroco been playoff eligible, the team would have the chance to bounce back next weekend and would almost surely be a lock for the playoffs. As it is, the players will soon check in their equipment and box up their cleats. Turns out, what the team will be missing wasn’t what any of the tears were about. “We made the right decision,”

Achtner said. “I wouldn’t have it any other way at this point. Playing 8-man football has been great.” “We really wanted that one,” Miles said. “But that’s all right. I wouldn’t do any of this any differently.” — To reach Joel Reichenberger, call 871-4253 or e-mail jreichenberger@steamboatpilot.com

College football Bulldogs stumble helps Gators to 29-19 win 4C |

Steamboat Pilot & Today • Sunday, October 25 , 2009

The Associated Press

STARKVILLE, Miss.

Chris Rainey scored from 8 yards out after the Bulldogs stumbled on a fake punt and Dustin Doe may have slipped a fumble on an interception return for a touchdown past the referees as the second-ranked Gators came away with a tough win against old friend Dan Mullen on Saturday night. The Bulldogs (3-5, 1-3 SEC) stymied the Gators (7-0, 5-0) near the goal line all night, but Rainey’s run and Doe’s 23-yard return helped Florida extend the nation’s longest winning streak.

Terrence Cody, the Crimson Tide’s 350-pound nose guard, blocked a 44-yard field-goal attempt on the final play and No. 1 Alabama escaped with a 12-10 victory against the rival Volunteers on Saturday. Cody broke through the line on the last play and practically ran into Daniel Lincoln’s low kick.

No. 3 Texas 41, Missouri 7 COLUMBIA, Mo.

Colt McCoy completed his first 11 passes and produced touchdowns on No. 3 Texas’ first three drives. McCoy matched his season best with three touchdown passes, while Texas’ defense blocked a punt for a score in a flawless first half that produced a 35-7 lead.

K-State grinds out win against CU The Associated Press

COLORADO FOOTBALL

MANHATTAN, Kan.

Anger filled Bill Snyder’s eyes. He chopped his hand down on the lectern, rattled off the litany of offensive mistakes, the inopportune penalties, the missed assignments. So what if Kansas State had just beaten Colorado to take control of the Big 12 North? Snyder wasn’t happy with the way the Wildcats did it and let them know after the game. “You don’t want to hear what I had to say to them,” Snyder said after Kansas State’s 20-6 win against Colorado on Saturday. Humbled by an early loss to Louisiana-Lafayette and a beatouchdownown by Texas Tech, Kansas State (5-3, 3-1) is alone atop the Big 12 North with its best conference start since 2000, back in Snyder’s first stint as coach. Against Colorado, the defense played well, getting two interceptions from Emmanuel Lamur and four total turnovers while holding the Buffaloes to 244 totals yards. The offense? Eh.

Daniel Thomas had a good enough game, running for 145 yards and a touchdown. The rest of the Wildcats combined for 139 yards in 40 plays.

San Diego State beats Colorado State, 42-28 FORT COLLINS

For a half, this resembled the San Diego State Aztecs of the Western Athletic Conference days, when the likes of Marshall Faulk & Co. were marching the ball up and down the field with ease. This version was gaining that much yardage, moving the ball that efficiently. Ryan Lindley threw a careerbest six touchdown passes and DeMarco Sampson had 15 catches for 257 yards, helping San Diego State rally for a 42-28 victory against Colorado State on Saturday. The Aztecs (3-4, 1-2 Mount ain West) still are searching for their identity under first-year coach Brady Hoke.

But things are beginning to come together. A week after playing BYU tough, the Aztecs rolled up 531 yards total offense, including 376 in the second half.

Weber State holds off Northern Colorado, 28-20 GREELEY

Cameron Higgins threw for 292 yards and three touchdowns and Bo Bolen ran for a career high 207 yards and another score Saturday as Weber State fought off a second-half rally to edge Northern Colorado, 28-20. After the Bears (2-6, 1-5 Big Sky) scored 13 unanswered points to pull within 21-20 with 6:28 to go, Higgins found Joe Collins with an 8-yard touchdown pass with 3:01 left and the Wildcats (5-3, 5-1) held on from there. Bolen, a redshirt freshman making his first career start, finished with 295 all-purpose yards. Higgins also connected with Collins on a 6-yard touchdown strike with 20 seconds left in the second quarter to give Weber State a 21-7 advantage.

Keselowski beats Busch in Kroger on Track race The Associated Press

NASCAR

MEMPHIS, Tenn.

Brad Keselowski held off points leader Kyle Busch on the final lap to win the Kroger On Track For the Cure 250 in a green-white-checker finish in Saturday’s Nationwide Series race at Memphis Motorsports Park. Keselowski was leading when a caution came out with two laps to go because Stephen Wallace spun after tangling with Matt Kenseth. Wallace banged into Kenseth’s car after the race and the two had words on pit road.

| 5C

Keselowski held onto the lead through the overtime segment. Busch finished second and leads Carl Edwards by 215 points in the standings. Busch was on Keselowski’s rear bumper coming out of the final turn. Keselowski got loose but held on for his fourth Nationwide win of the year. Jason Leffler finished third, while Mike Bliss and Brendan Gaughan completed the top five. Edwards, who won this race last year, was sixth.

GLENDALE, Ariz.

Jared Stoll scored his first two goals of the season and Dustin Brown also scored twice for Los Angeles. Wayne Simmonds added a goal and Anze Kopitar had three assists to help the Kings win their third straight game. Shane Doan had two goals, and Radim Vrbata also scored for Phoenix.

Blue Jackets 6, Ducks 4 ANAHEIM, Calif.

Fedor Tyutin scored the goahead goal on a one-timer from the blue line with 3:22 left, and Rick Nash and Jakub Voracek

each scored twice, leading the Columbus Blue Jackets to a 6-4 victory against Anaheim.

Flames 5, Oilers 2 CALGARY, Alberta

Nigel Dawes scored twice, and Miikka Kiprusoff made 23 saves to help Calgary improve to 7-2-1 with its third straight victory. Rene Bourque had a goal and two assists, and Eric Nystrom and David Moss also scored. Dustin Penner scored his eighth goal of the season for Edmonton, and Lubomir Visnovsky added a goal. The loss snapped the Oilers’ winning streak at three.

An hour after Game 6 of the American League championship series was postponed, there was Andy Pettitte in a nearly empty Yankee Stadium, drenched in the pouring rain. With his short hair soaked and sweat shirt dripping, the New York Yankees’ pitcher played catch in the outfield and ran light sprints through thick puddles on the warning track before finally grabbing some cover in the dugout. Admittedly eager, Pettitte will have to wait for his chance to close out the Los Angeles Angels. Game 6 never started Saturday night and was rescheduled for 8:20 p.m. today. “The worst part of it is just the wait. This was the longest day ever. And I was just about to start getting in my routine and they come walking in there and tell me it got canceled,” Pettitte said. “You realize it’s a rainout. Get ready to do it tomorrow. But it’s just frustrating from the standpoint it’s just such a long day, when you’re so ready and so anxious to get the game going.” The Yankees lead the best-ofseven series 3-2 and need one victory to clinch their 40th pennant and reach the World Series for the first time since 2003. Game 7, if necessary, will be Monday in New York at 7:57 p.m. If lefty Joe Saunders and the Angels can push the series that far, the rainout could benefit them. No. 1 starter John Lackey,

who took a shutout into the seventh inning of Game 5, could be available to pitch on three days’ rest. “I think it benefits both teams certainly for resetting a bullpen and some things. It’s going to give us more options to look at, absolutely,” Los Angeles manager Mike Scioscia said. “We still have our whole staff out there for tomorrow. John Lackey is not — he’s still in play tomorrow. We’ll get through Game 6. There’s no sense talking about a Game 7.” Back home in sunny California, the Angels staved off elimination with a stirring comeback victory in Game 5 on Thursday night. Does the postponement Saturday stall their momentum? “Momentum is nice after you win a good game. But you’ve got to come back and rebuild it pitch by pitch. That’s what we’re going to have to do tomorrow,” Scioscia said.

It’s all in the surprise

he best football game I ever attended was the 2003 Big 12 Champ ionship. I worked the game, covering it for the school newspaper at Kansas State University. We were still stu dents, but we pretended to be pros and, like everyone else in the press box, prided ourselves in not cheering. Few things in my life proved as difficult as I watched, jaw on the desk, as my K-State Wildcats laid a beating on the No. 1 and widely considered invincible Oklahoma Sooners. I had written a cocky col umn before the game profess ing confidence in the Cats, but realistically, neither I nor anyone else thought they had a snowball’s chance in this October. But I was wrong, and that proved the difference between that colossal win and all the other games I’ve ever seen. It’s that same logic that has made the first stretch of this Denver Broncos season such a joy. No one in the world would have ever predicted the team to be 2-0, let alone 6-0. Everyone knows the rea sons. The team looked on the brink of disaster. Its best two players demanded to be traded, and one was. Half of the great advan tage gained from that trade — one of the two first-round picks fleeced from Chicago — was traded and used in the second round of the April draft on a player that stunned Mel Kiper and his ESPN cronies. New coach Josh McDan iels replaced the often disap pointing but undeniably steady hand of longtime coach Mike Shanahan. After 14 years of a coach that was widely known as the “Mastermind,” the Broncos almost impossibly seemed to have found someone even more arrogant. It all seemed to come to a head in the waning sec onds of the season’s first game. Desperately trying to move the ball down the field, Denver’s new quarterback, Kyle Orton, chucked a pair of pathetically hopeless passes to a comically over-covered Brandon Marshall. Magic, of course, hap pened. One of those passes was deflected, caught and zipped the length of the field for the winning touchdown, and the team never looked back. Since that miracle, Denver hasn’t just been lucky. The team is good, and more than that, it’s fun to watch. It rarely gives off the impression of being better than the team on the other sideline, but, thanks to a suddenly hardnosed defense, always hangs just close enough to make a charge at the end to win the game. Marshall, the star the team refused to trade, regained his composure and has developed into the team’s cold-blooded closer. The offensive line has become a stonewall, Orton a great decision-maker and the defense among the league’s best. All those reasons have combined to make for a great first six weeks to the season. The overarching reason it’s all been so fantastic, though, is that no one in their wildest dreams saw this coming.

Rope up a workout

Rodeo grounds offers full-body intensity

he concrete grandstands at the Brent Romick Rodeo Arena at Howelsen Hill in downtown Steamboat Springs have the feel of an ancient Greek temple. The stands are so broken and buckled, they look like they survived an earthquake. To many, there’s much more there than a crumbling relic, though. To many, the rodeo grounds are the perfect place for a workout. It’s all there. The steps make for a perfect obstacle. The track around the rodeo arena is generally smooth and an easy jog, and the trails of Howelsen Hill are only yards away for a quick trail lap or short bike ride. “You can do an entire workout with zero

sundayfocus Story by Joel Reichenberger equipment,” Fusion Fit personal trainer Sarah Coleman said. “People think they have to be confined to a gym, but it’s so cool to get out here, outside.” With everyone in Steamboat preparing for the coming winter sports season, the rodeo grounds offers a perfect place to get in shape. Here are two days of workouts — per haps one week’s worth — to help you get going, from Coleman and Cara Marrs, who are leading an eight-week ski fitness program for Fusion Fit.

Workout Day 1

Workout Day 2

■ One lap around rodeo grounds, about half a mile

■ One lap around rodeo grounds “Start with one lap on track because if you come totally dry from sitting in your desk and start doing some of these, it won’t be a very good idea.” — Coleman

■ 50 step jumps on stairs Leap from the bottom of the stands to the first step and then either back down or continuing up.

■ 50 step jumps

■ 50 triceps dips ■ Slow and continuous lunge up to top of stairs, pulse for 10 counts After reaching the top, “pulse” for 10 counts by doing 10 more lunges without actually taking any more steps. ■ 25 decline push-ups Ski fitness is often about core strength and abs and thigh workouts, but arms can be important, too. “If you’re skiing powder, you absolutely have to have your arms in shape because you’re working, you’re turning and you’re twisting all day.” — Marrs ■ 50 one-legged squats on each side ■ Static squat, one minute On a step or on the flat ground, pull into a squatting position, sticking the butt out at as far as you can for 60 seconds. ■ 50 crunches A cushioned pad or even a towel can come in handy for crunches and push-ups. ■ Slow lunge up to the top with an oblique twist at each alternate step

joel reichenberger/staff

Coleman, left, and Marrs execute triceps dips on the steps at the Howelsen Hill rodeo grounds, lowering themselves with their arms and pushing back up.

■ 50 jumping jacks ■ Plank 1 minute Hold pushup position joel reichenberger/staff

Marla Bailey pulls into a one-legged squat in the stands at the rodeo arena in downtown Steamboat Springs. Bailey works out at the arena several times a week. She picked up many of the exercises by taking a ski fitness class from Chris Voyvodic at Old Town Hot Springs.

■ 100 mountain climbers From the base of the steps, hunch over and extend your arms to the front of the first step so your body is arched. Then, without moving your hands, leap and put one foot forward and the other back. Leap again and switch them. Two down, 98 to go. ■ Take a five-minute trail run lap around trails above rodeo stairs. Repeat 2 to 4 times Most of the ski fitness workouts offered by personal trainers in town last an hour or more, but plenty of work can be done in less time. Repeat this circuit for 30 minutes, and you’ll be doing fine.

■ 50 squats “Some of the exercises I do with my clients, it’s like when do you ever do that in real life? But when you squat and you lunge, you do that in your life. Those are normal, functional things.” — Coleman ■ 50 calf raises on stairs Many of these exercises may be good for anyone wanting to get in shape; calf raises in particular can be important for snowboarders. “I always found my ankles and calves were sore after snowboarding. There’s more movement in snowboard boots than in Alpine or tele skiing boots, so your ankles and calves have to work a lot harder to keep you stable.” — Coleman ■ Sprint up to top of the stairs and run down in the middle twice ■ Lunge to top of steps, pulse for 10 at top, run down in middle ■ 100 bunny hop side to side

joel reichenberger/staff

Bailey leaps from step to step at the rodeo grounds, holding a squat position as she lands.

■ 50 crunches ■ Run a five-minute trail lap A trail is on the west end of the stands. Run up and around the stands, up a steep slope, back down near the Howelsen Ice Arena, back up toward the top of the rodeo steps and then down into the arena via an opening at the top of the steps. It’s a short trail, less than 400 meters, but contains three good uphill sections and several tough downhill areas. Repeat 2 to 4 times. page designed by nicole miller

Construction creates incentives for alternate transportation Zach Fridell Pilot & Today staff

Steamboat Springs

People need several factors to motivate them to commute by bicycle, Erin Brosterhous said, and she said she found hers from an unexpected source: downtown construction. With intersections along John F. Russell/staff Lincoln Avenue blocked off in Steamboat Springs resident Erin Brosterhous enters U.S. Highway 40 from 12th Street during rush hour Thursday afternoon. Brosterhous has used her bike to beat downtown Steamboat Springs and driving becoming a hassle, the traffic in downtown Steamboat Springs created by recent construction.

muted all summer for environmental and economic reasons, but the traffic kept her going through October. “For me, that really pushed me over the edge, so it’s part of my everyday lifestyle,” she said.

The science of scaring Those behind ‘Chamber of Horror’ work hard to haunt their house

hen a group walks into Ariel Marchand’s vampire room in the “Screamboat Chamber of Horror,” her job is to put them ill at ease. A 10-year veteran of the annual haunted house at Colorado Mountain Story by College’s Alpine Margaret hair Campus, Marchand asks the group of 10 or so how they would kill a vampire. Garlic? Silver bullet? A cross? Nope, those just are annoyances, she tells them. “It’s just to leave a little bit to the imagination and give them something to work off of,” said Marchand, who typically plays the vampire slayer in “Screamboat.” After her character’s introduction, the lights in the vampire room go dark, and the group starts screaming. Setting the stage is a big part of the 11th annual “Screamboat,” said Jimmy Westlake, event organizer and CMC astronomy and physics professor. Put people in a dark room and give them a little bit to work with, and there’s hardly any reason to jump out and say “boo,” he said. A fundraiser for the Sky Club at Colorado Mountain College’s Alpine Campus, “Screamboat” opened Oct. 23 and will run from 6 to 10 p.m. today, Friday and Saturday at CMC’s Monson Hall.

are based on “traditional horror,” Marchand said. There are mummies, clowns, vampires, aliens, angry ghosts, crazy people and chain saw murderers. Bob and Dave’s haunted dorm room — based almost entirely on suspense and flashing lights — is a Westlake creation, and one of his favorites. It’s not easy to frighten people who are expecting to be frightened, a challenge that makes keeping people on edge in a haunted house a little like putting them on a roller coaster, Westlake said. The alien room is goofy and funny, but it’s followed quickly by plenty of surprises before the mood lightens again. “It puts them at ease a little bit, and then you sock it to them after that,” Westlake said.

Lowell Whiteman School kayak trip leader Jim Linville assesses how to remove the upturned raft out from between two boulders at the Gates of Lodore on the Green River through Dinosaur National Monument.

The last thing several Lowell Whiteman School students expected to see as they kayaked the Gates of Lodore on the Green River through Dinosaur National Monument was an upturned raft. “Uh-oh,” Whiteman junior David Lea remembered thinking. “Something bad had happened to someone.”

Shortly after seeing the upsidedown raft, the students saw a woman huddled on the eddy to the left of the river. She didn’t have a sleeping bag or tent and had very little clothing and some food and water. Her supplies were strapped inside the upturned raft or gone, down the river. Jim Linville, who teaches geography at Whiteman and has led the kayaking trips for 22 years,

said the woman told him she had been alone for about 24 hours after her friend went downriver to get help because there was no cell phone service. The Whiteman group was on a kayaking trip as part of the school’s Desert Week from Oct. 5 to 9. Desert Week provides outdoor education trips for the students. Other groups went climbing, horseback riding, canoeing See Rescue, page 2D page designed by leslie small

and canyoneering. Students on the kayaking trip in addition to Lea were Brian Alsberg, Will Findell, Galen Goldscheitter, Errik Hill, Colin Klein, Erik Petersen and Karsten Thompson. The adult leaders with Linville were Brian Smith, John Morse, Hugh Newton and Robbie Shine. Linville said they met the woman Tuesday, the second day of their trip. They found out she was a recent cancer survivor who had set off three days before on a sixmonth rafting trip that will culminate in the Grand Canyon. Linville said she was an experienced rafter in big water, having run the Grand Canyon 28 times, but not technical water. Linville said they had the manpower to remove her raft from between two large boulders where it had been pinned before going vertical and flipping over. Linville declined to provide the woman’s name because she is still on the river and couldn’t be reached for permission. “It was one of those deals where there was no way we could leave this woman there,” he said. “We had no idea if her friend had gotten help. I knew there weren’t a lot of trips down the river. It was obvious we had to help this woman.” And he said they were eager to lend a hand. “The cool part was they were

willing to help,” said Smith, who teaches math and physics at Whiteman. “The only agenda they had at the present moment was to do what needed to get done.” Led by Linville and Hugh Newton, members of Routt County Search and Rescue, the students helped rig a pulley system to remove the raft from between the boulders. After about an hour to assess the situation and another two to execute their plan, Hill said they got the raft flipped over and to the left side of the river. Linville said the woman had tied her gear so well that none of it had come loose and drifted down the river in the day it was upturned. She joined them for two days before heading off on her own. Findell, a junior, said that he and Hill, a sophomore, had done rescue exercises in the spring but that it was cool to put their knowledge into practice. “It’s one thing if we were just going downriver enjoying ourselves, but it’s another thing to save this woman’s trip — long trip,” Findell said. “She would have been there much longer.” Findell said it felt good to be able to help. “I was glad she was safe,” he said. Hill said: “I feel better as a person to help someone.”

Most of the Whiteman kayaking group, including Jim Linville (red helmet), Colin Klein, Will Findell, Galen Goldscheitter, David Lea, Karsten Thompson, Erik Petersen, Brian Alsberg, Errik Hill and John Morse.

Walt Daub, head of the school, said the story about the kayaking trip didn’t begin circulating around Whiteman until about halfway through the Monday after the students’ return. Daub said the story didn’t shock him. “It doesn’t surprise me a bit,” he said. Linville said the purpose of the trip was to teach the students how to kayak. They train on the Yampa River in the spring and the upper Colorado River in the fall. He said the students are taught rescue techniques, but performing one “added a new dimension to the trip.” “It’s one of those things I don’t

think I could explain to them,” he said. “When they see it, they appreciate it. I think it’s huge.” Smith said it was a cool experience for the kayakers to stop their trip to help the stranded woman. He said the adults on the trip emphasized at the beginning that it was a community — they work together, and it’s a team. “Sometimes in those experiences, the kids don’t always realize, but they’re building that sense of team and community,” Smith said. Lea said the woman was thankful, and the students have continued to keep in contact with her since returning to school.

Looking Back

Several inquiries have been received at the county court regarding the 50 percent payment of the old age pension last month. Judge J.M. Childress said only sufficient money to pay half the allotment was available in the fund. It is probable that there will not be more than a 50 percent allotment for the next payment.

Utzinger’s 1934 Chevrolet sedan turned several times 135 feet from the point of collision and lodged in the swamp. Fleming’s car turned over once. The cars were damaged. There were seven persons in the crash, but none of them was injured beyond bruises and scratches.

trailer to tow her 10-month-old daughter. “It makes great sense,” she said. “I’m breezing by people.” On Thursday, Brosterhous said her husband was going to drive her daughter into town later and that she would meet the two and take her daughter home from there. Infant aside, the weather is starting to give her reasons for second thought, Brosterhous said, but she said she plans to ride as long as the construction continues this season. Kristen Lillie has a shorter commute, from Fairview Avenue, up 13th Street to Lincoln Avenue, where she works at Pilot Office Outfitters

at the intersection with 10th Street. She said she bikes about half of the days, typically more when the construction in front of her office would slow her drive. “Sometimes it’s delays. Sometimes it’s more frustration than actual delays,” she said. On days when traffic is backed up along 13th Street, she said it could be faster to ride her bike than to drive. Caleb Franklin has a much longer commute, from his home near Walton Creek and Village Drive at the base of Mount Werner to Copper Ridge Drive, off Routt County Road 129, where he works at Moots. By bicycling, he said he avoids the traffic congestion

of the construction, but that’s not the main reason he decides to bike. “It’s on my mind, but I would just rather ride my bike anyway,” he said. He often makes a stop downtown to drop off and pick up his 3-year-old son, making the ride 20 to 25 minutes each way. Franklin said he primarily stays on the Yampa River Core Trail as long as he can before he “runs the gauntlet up the right side of 129,” a route he said he’ll continue as long as the snow stays away.

incentives from their employers for alternative commuting. Brosterhous, who works in public relations for Mountain Hardware, said her office provides $2 per day for people who use carpools, take public transportation, walk or bike to get to work. That money is redeemable through gift cards to businesses such as Safeway and iTunes. Franklin said Moots provides $1 a day to each employee who uses alternate forms of transportation, and most of the employees donate the money to a charity fund. He said that out of the office of 22 people, at least six ride a bicycle to work each day. The employees will vote on which charity should receive their money.

Thank you for being leaders and outstanding employees!

A big thank you to Rich Danker on guitar and Jim Kelley on washboard for the music Monday night. We always appreciate having the tunes. Thanks also to everybody who has donated jewelry in the past. We are looking for more — anything you can give — as prizes for our weekly bingo game. Many of our volunteers who have kindly helped us during the games will be leaving for the winter, so we’re also seeking volunteers to show up at the Doak Walker Care Center at 10 a.m. Tuesdays to help residents play the game. We also thank everybody for their prayers for Jim Goggin, who was involved in a head-on crash near Yampa. Marilyn Goggin stopped by and said that Jim is recovering after several surgeries.

Universal Press syndicate

Sunday, October 25, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Will Harris, 23; Sara Lumholdt, 25; Tracy Nelson, 46; Helen Reddy, 68 Happy Birthday: Emotional matters will cause you some grief. Separate your work from your personal problems. Don’t allow anyone to derail your plans. If you prove how talented, skillful and able you are, you will receive rewards far beyond your expectations. It’s important to take seriously everything you do and say. Your numbers are 2, 6, 13, 24, 29, 32, 44 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t push the wrong people. Stick to friends, not the people who will judge your every move. Your personal life and the partnerships you form now will be what will mold your direction in the future. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Refrain from dealing with people who want to take from you. A deal that is on the table may appear to be good but the fine print will not favor you. Read between the lines before you end up angry, upset and out-of-pocket. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can make some good decisions regarding your future plans. Look into the possibilities that exist and incorporate your skills and talents into a resume specific to the company, place or industry that interests you. Romance will highlight your evening hours. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): You need to experience something unique and different. A short trip or attending an event that deals with different cultures, hobbies or pastimes will all help you bring some uplifting changes to your life. Don’t let someone’s negativity stop you. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Communication will help you work out any of the kinks that an important relationship may be suffering and allow you to get much closer to a happy and stable home life. Don’t let someone else’s outlook or attitude upset you. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Make some interesting moves that will help you financially, legally or physically. There is a lot you can do to improve your life, yourself and your future. Children can play an important role if you listen. ★★★★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Be careful what you say and how you handle the ones you love. Not everyone will support what you are trying to do. You must include everyone in your plans if you want to be successful. Compromise and compassion will lead to victory. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take a break from your everyday routine and try something altogether different. The experience you have will motivate you to do things a little differently. You will have to face someone who has been holding back information. Push for the truth so you don’t waste any more time trying to achieve the impossible. ★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Romance is skyrocketing and if you incorporate a little excitement, travel and love into your day, you will reach new highs and develop an important relationship. Take care of your responsibilities early to avoid unnecessary complaints. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Stay calm and avoid any controversial topics. A change in your financial plan can lead to greater stability. Someone who is geographically distanced from you will compromise your current position. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t mix emotions with financial, legal or medical decisions. Don’t get involved in a scam because someone you know and trust is taking a risk. Uncertainty regarding a partnership will be upsetting. Let the situation develop naturally. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You will gain far more by keeping your current personal situation a secret until you are fully integrated into what’s going on around you. Finances will lead to emotional ups and downs. Letting someone cost you will cause tension and ruin your plans. 3 stars Birthday Baby: You are direct and detailed in all that you do. You are a master of communication and very persuasive. You are-strong willed. ©2009 UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE
