Atira seeks base area ideas Ski Time Square sits vacant as council tables redevelopment plans Brandon Gee

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

From landscaping and a play ground, to an ice skating rink and tethered balloon rides, there has been no shortage of ideas thrown out for using the site of the demolished Ski Time Square commercial area. Developers The Atira Group

Public plan to cover 2 percent

want to hear more. On the heels of the Steamboat Springs City Council’s decision to table redevelopment plans for the property until January, large ly because it wants to see a plan for igniting the area between now and redevelopment, Atira is soliciting ideas to do just that. “I think the whole idea is to involve the community,” Atira

Vice President for Development Mark Mathews said. “We’ve come up with some ideas, but the whole idea is we might have missed something.” Mathews asked that sug gestions be sent via e-mail to steamboatredev@gmail.com. The Atira Group is rede veloping Ski Time Square and Thunderhead Lodge on behalf

of Washington, D.C.-based Cafritz Interests, which bought the properties in 2007. Anticipa ting immediate redevelopment, the existing Ski Time Square buildings were demolished in 2008, with the exception of the Tugboat Grill & Pub. Atira is john f. russell/staff requesting a 10-year vesting peri Redevelopment plans for Ski Time Square were tabled by the Steamboat Springs od for the development. See Ski Time Square, page 8A

City Council on Tuesday. Council members said they want to see a plan for how the demolished site will ignite the commercial area at the base of Steamboat Ski Area.

WASHINGTON

What’s all the fuss about? After all the noise about Democrats’ push for a govern ment insurance plan to compete with private carriers, coverage numbers are finally in: Two percent. That’s the estimated share of Americans younger than 65 who’d sign up for the public option plan under the health care bill that Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is steering toward House approval. The underwhelming statis tic is raising questions about whether the government plan will be the iron-fisted competi tor that private insurers warn will shut them down or a niche operator that becomes a haven for patients with health insur ance horror stories. Some experts are wondering if lawmakers have wasted too much time arguing about the public plan, giving short shrift See Health, page 7A

Steamboat Springs’ Daniel Melvin, 15, who is dressed as a Lego man, visits with some of his costume fans Saturday during the annual Downtown Halloween Stroll. Hundreds of local children and their parents crowded Lincoln Avenue to trick-or-treat at businesses. “It’s about as community as you can get; everybody comes out,” Mainstreet Steamboat Springs Manager Tracy Barnett said last week. Local law enforcement attended, community groups handed out hot chocolate and cider, and the Steamboat Christian Center brought its campaign to collect 2,000 pounds of food for LIFT-UP of Routt County. Other holiday events across the area included pumpkin carving, a haunted house at Colorado Mountain College and music and parties for the late-night crowd.

In May, Kathleen Allen per formed a song called “A Green Lowland of Pianos” in a classi cal music recital. The lyrics to that Samuel Barber song are a bit goofy, bringing a “herd of black pianos” to life, the Hayden resident and piano techni cian said. Steamboat Spr ings resident Lynn Curtze Scarlett-Atkinson sat in the audience at that recit al. She was hooked on Allen’s performance of Barber’s song, and she shared that with Allen, who had worked for months to restore Scarlett-Atkinson’s 1936 Steinway M grand piano. “She was there, and she liked it so much that she actually wrote me sort of a fan e-mail about it, and said, ‘This is really cool, and I kept thinking about my own piano with respect to this,’” Allen said. On Nov. 8, Allen will sing “A Green Lowland of Pianos” while Basalt-based musician Andrew Todd accompanies her on the piano she brought back to life. The performance is part of a concert celebrating Scarlett-Atkinson’s donation of her Steinway M to Colorado Mountain College. Todd’s classical selections fill out the program, which is at 2 p.m. in the New Space Theatre at CMC’s Spring Valley Campus near Glenwood Springs.

WASHINGTON

An Obama administration plan to dissolve large, struggling financial firms rather than bail them out is encountering Republican resistance, Democratic doubts and only qualified support from regulators. At a House Financial Services hearing Thursday, lawmakers from both parties worried that the proposal would give regulators and the executive branch unprecedented power. “I’m not a man that fears this administration or you,” Rep. Paul Kanjorski, D-Pa., told Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. “But I do fear the accumulation of power exercised by someone in the future that can be extraordinary.” Others argue that by singling out financial firms important to the economy, the government could inevitably set itself up to bail them out and that even dismantling rather than rescuing them would take taxpayer money. “Apparently, the ‘too big to fail’ model is too hard to kill,” quipped Republican Rep. Ed Royce, of California. Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Calif., called the bill TARP on steroids,” referring to the government’s $700 billion Wall Street rescue fund.

Consumers return to name-brand spending Signs of an improving economy might be in your kitchen or bathroom cupboards. Consumers are showing a willingness to pay a little more to get Colgate toothpaste, Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes and Gillette Fusion shavers. That’s good news for the economy and the multibillion-dollar companies that make those products and have been battling to keep shoppers from trading down to store brands to save money. Procter & Gamble, Col gate-Palmolive and Kellogg gave upbeat earnings reports and even stronger outlooks for next year Thursday. “The strongest brands are the most resilient to economic stress and the first to bounce back as soon as consumers can pay for it because they don’t want to trade down,” said Allen Adamson, managing director of branding firm Landor Associates. “They want to get what they want.”

Gas prices chugging higher as holidays near NEW YORK

Americans are paying more for gasoline than they did last year as the holidays approached — billions of dollars that could go to books, clothes and Barbie dolls instead of being spent at the pump. Gas averaged nearly $2.70 a gallon Friday, the highest of the year — adding bad news to an already fragile economy and making it even less likely that people will spend their way out of the recession. From November 2008 to January, the average price was $1.86. If prices average $2.50 per gallon during the same period this year, Americans will pay an extra $26.6 billion for gas, said Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at Oil Price Information Service. Americans didn’t have much going for them financially in late 2008, but they did have this: Gas prices plunged by 93 cents per gallon between Oct. 30 and the end of the year. It was like a generous energy tax break, just in time for the holidays. When a gallon of gas runs from $2.50 to $3, people begin to notice, energy experts say.

A story from every store

Business owners, police officers discuss shoplifting in Steamboat Springs

ike any store owner, Sue Krall might have been pleased at first to notice that several high-quality, giftwrapped bars of soap were gone from their display. Then she checked the register. Story by “And we Mike Lawrence hadn’t sold any — they literally were disappearing before our eyes,” Krall said Thursday. She’s a co-owner of Off the Beaten Path Bookstore & Coffee Shop on Ninth Street in downtown Steamboat Springs. She said that a couple of months ago the store displayed the $15 bars of soap as a gift item to supplement book sales. The soap left the store, she said, but without a stop at the cash register. “I think we sold two of them out of 18,” Krall said. “The rest were stolen.” Soap might seem like a small item, but Krall said the discovery led her to notice other missing gift items — and significantly raised her concerns about shoplifting in Steamboat. Detective Jerry Stabile, of the Steamboat Springs Police Department, said the number of reported shoplifting cases is slowly increasing in the city, from 22 in 2007 to 32 in 2008 and 31 so far this year, with the holidays and winter season ahead. And large items have gone missing, too — Steve Kennedy, owner of The Homesteader at 817 Lincoln Ave., said his store lost about $1,000 worth of goods to theft during Labor Day weekend. Jan Lomas, owner of the Artisans Market at 626 Lincoln Ave., said stolen items cost her as much as $6,000 a year. Del Lockhart, co-owner of F.M. Light & Sons, declined to give specifics but said he, too, has noticed items missing from his store. “I know what my (inventory) shrinkage is, and it’s significant,” Lockhart said, adding that the store has lost some high-dollar items. “I have certain departments that are worse (hit) than others.” Lockhart, Lomas and Krall were three of about 15 local merchants who attended a Thursday morning shoplifting prevention seminar at Centennial Hall, hosted by Mainstreet Steamboat Springs and led by Stabile and Detective Dave Kleiber, of the police department. Lomas said in her experience, the recession has given rise to increased shoplifting at a time when business owners already are struggling to make ends meet. Krall said theft affects her personally. “When things are taken, it really does make a difference to the shop owners,” Krall wrote in a Thursday e-mail. “It is personal when we see items that we carefully selected to sell in our stores disappear. The cost of doing business in town is already high, and none of the merchants can afford to factor in loss.” At Thursday’s seminar, Stabile and Kleiber ran through basic facts about shoplifting: it crosses all gender, age and socioeconomic lines; it can be reduced by keeping a store neat, locking up expensive or easily concealable items and increasing personal contact with customers; and often, shoplifting is committed by people paid to be in the store. “The majority of theft you are experiencing is from your own employees — that’s a fact,” Kleiber told merchants. “Steamboat is not this little frickin’ snow globe that is different from the rest of America. Employee theft happens, and it happens all the time.” But as the discussion evolved,

the focus of Thursday morning’s seminar became what to do and what merchants can or cannot do when they suspect shoplifting — often a confrontational experience for which not all employees are prepared.

What to do Stabile said a shoplifter’s mannerisms often mimic those of a child about to do something wrong — furtiveness, looking over the shoulder and lingering in a certain area, for example. When approaching a suspected shoplifter, Stabile and Kleiber said to be aware that you never know who, or what circumstances, you are dealing with. “The No. 1 thing, paramount, is your safety,” Kleiber said. “If you’re going to confront somebody, you need to do it in a calm, respectful manner — but an authoritative manner.” Little things can make a difference. Stabile said asking someone to open a purse or bag, rather than asking for and opening it yourself, often is a better approach. Kleiber said Colorado law allows a store representative to search a bag, purse or other personal item, if the representative has probable cause and is acting in good faith. Kleiber cautioned that those terms are not absolutes. “There’s nothing black and white,” he said. “It boils down to the reasonableness of your actions.” Kleiber and Stabile said it’s best to call police before confronting a suspected shoplifter.

Tips for preventing, or reducing, shoplifting in your store include: ■ Keep the store neat and orderly, so missing or moved products will be noticed. ■ Use mirrors to eliminate blind spots in corners that might hide shoplifters. ■ When possible, keep merchandise away from exits to prevent grab-and-run situations. ■ Keep expensive or easily concealable merchandise in locked cases. Limit the number of items employees remove at any one time for customers to examine. ■ Design the store so customers have to walk past security personnel or employees on the way to an exit. ■ Place the cash register near the front

Online More than $13 billion worth of goods are stolen from U.S. retailers each year, or more than $35 million per day. Shoplifters cross all age, gender and socioeconomic lines. For more shoplifting information and nationwide statistics from research conducted in 2006, visit the National Association for Shoplifting Prevention on the Web at www.shopliftingprevention.org.

That allows a store representative to say that police already have been called and reduces the amount of time a representative could be alone with a suspect. Section 18-4-407 of the Colorado Revised Statutes allows store representatives, acting in good faith and with probable cause of shoplifting, to “detain and question such person, in a reasonable manner for the purpose of ascertaining whether the person is guilty of theft.” Kleiber said detaining a suspect — asking the person to wait on the premises, for example — can be a delicate situation. “You could detain them, but I would not always recommend that,” Kleiber said. “I would recommend going to Plan B, which is being a good witness.” Getting details such as the suspect’s license plate number

and physical description can be invaluable to police, Stabile said, adding that merchants should not hesitate to report shoplifting cases. “We highly advise that you prosecute,” Stabile said. “We have a lot of cases we solve where we don’t even have a photo of the person.” Stabile said Colorado law allows business owners to file civil cases against shoplifters that assess a penalty of $250, on top of criminal charges. Theft of less than $500 is a Class 2 misdemeanor, Stabile said, with a minimum penalty of three months in jail and/or a $250 fine,

of the store, so employees can monitor customers coming and going. ■ Monitor dressing rooms at all times. Keep them locked and limit the number of items customers take in. ■ If fiscally possible, employ security measures including video cameras and electronic article surveillance tags on merchandise. ■ Train employees on how to reduce shoplifting opportunities and work with local law enforcement to learn what actions could signal shoplifting and your rights as a store owner or representative should a situation arise. Source: Steamboat Springs Police Department

and a maximum penalty of 12 months in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. Penalties increase with the severity of the theft, prior criminal history and other factors. Lockhart said it was gratifying to hear how Colorado enforces shoplifting and what rights store representatives hold. “Re-emphasizing that we’ve been empowered by the state,” Lockhart said, referring to the most valuable lesson he learned Thursday morning. “We don’t need to be intimidated by a shoplifter. That’s a huge psychological impact.”

Pedal to assist cycling-related tourism

Jonah Goldberg

Tribune Media Services

e were greatly impressed during Labor Day weekend at the ability of a local man, Corey Piscopo, to spearhead a first-time, multistage bicycle-racing event that attracted more than 300 entrants to town. And we were equally impressed recently to learn of at issue an emerging cycling partnerJoint efforts ship among the Routt County under way to Riders, Steamboat Ski and build free ride Resort Corp., the city and cycling parks the U.S. Forest Service. The group is exploring develophere ment of freeride trails that have demonstrated the potenour view tial at other mountain resorts Creating to boost tourism outside ski more diverse season. opportunities for Freeriding trails often include extreme features such visitors to enjoy as elevated wooden plank the healthy sport bridges, jumps, drops, rock of bicycling is features and even teeteran ideal way to totters. They already have fill in the gaps generated significant employbetween our ment and visitation at nearby event-dependent Winter Park and at Whistler Blackcomb in British summer Columbia. tourism. The influence of Ski Corp. parent Intrawest is easy to see in the new initiative — Winter Park and Whistler Blackcomb are in the family. Intrawest spokesman Ian Galbraith credited cycling with transforming the Canadian resort into a four-season destination. Visitors to Whistler Mountain Bike Park spent nearly $16.5 million in summer 2006. The Routt County Riders have established themselves as one of the best-organized and most committed recreational organizations in the region. With their ability to provide volunteer labor and draw on the bicycle trail building expertise of the International Mountain Bicycling Association, they’re ideally suited to tap into the successes at Whistler Blackcomb and Winter Park. Steamboat has achieved great success with summer tourism built around special events. But we can quickly see that a well-developed mountain bike park has the potential to fill in the gaps between events with visitors who arrive throughout the late spring, summer and fall to share a passion for one of the healthiest sports we know of. We’re mindful that some environmental groups have questioned the appropriateness of mountain biking at ski resorts. They are concerned that cycling is inconsistent with the law that allows ski areas to operate on federal land. U.S. Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., has sponsored legislation to clarify the role of cycling and other forms of summer recreation at ski resorts. The bill was being considered in hearings Oct. 15. Given the International Mountain Bicycling Association’s successful track record of consulting with the Forest Service about the sensitive construction of single-track trails, we’re confident that new trails in the Routt National Forest can be built in a way that doesn’t unduly harm the environment. With that in mind, we urge local governments and community organizations throughout the Yampa Valley to add their energies to efforts to broaden the opportunities for cycling-related tourism here.

Letter to the Editor Rape reporting I am deeply concerned about the fact that the Steamboat Pilot & Today did not immediately report on the recent sexual assault that occurred in downtown Steamboat Springs. Reporting a rape one week after it has occurred is certainly not responsible and timely reporting. Other women unaware of the recent sexual assault could have put themselves in dangerous situations this past week walking alone downtown at night with a predator on the loose. Responsible and timely reporting would be to print a story on the assault the very next day in an attempt to warn women to take extra precautions. In most towns, this type of crime would be reported the very next day, and many times it would be reported

on the front page. The Steamboat Pilot & Today waited more than a week to even report on this violent crime, and then they chose to bury the story on the fourth page. Obviously, the victim’s privacy should absolutely be respected. However, simultaneously an article can be thoughtfully and accurately written to alert others in town. I found out about this sexual assault through hearsay and a text message that was sent by a fellow resident to many women in Steamboat. This text message might not have been entirely accurate, but at least it communicated the frightening fact that a rape had occurred in our town and that women should be concerned for their safety. This text message did more to protect the women of Steamboat than our local paper.

The article printed Oct. 29 in the Steamboat Today regarding this sexual assault also indicated that other sexual assaults had been reported to the police in previous weeks. Why were these also not reported in respective articles in the paper after they occurred? How many rapes does it take to get this newspaper to step up and report the news? If there were a murder in Steamboat with the perpetrator on the loose would The Steamboat Pilot & Today wait a whole week to run an article in the paper? I doubt it. The Steamboat Pilot & Today always has seemed to avoid reporting on sexual assault. This is not the first time there has been a lack of reporting of this violent crime, but it is about time it is the last.

Port Mortuary’s pull Maureen Dowd

The New York Times

WASHINGTON

Michelle Obama had gone up to New York to watch the World Series opener with Jill Biden and Yogi Berra. President Barack Obama had dinner at the White House with Sasha and Malia. Then, shortly before midnight, he donned a dark overcoat, boarded Marine One and flew to Dowd Dover Air Force Base. On the tarmac in the darkness, he stood at attention, saluting, as 18 flag-draped cases were taken off an Air Force C-17 and carried to Port Mortuary by military teams in camouflage fatigues and black berets. The Halloween-eve parade of death included casualties from America’s most horrific day in Afghanistan in four years and its bloodiest month of the war. It may have been a photo op, another way Obama could show he was not W., the president who started the Iraq war in a haze of fakery and then declined to ever confront the reality of its dead. Certainly, as Obama tries to

figure out how to avoid being a war president when he’s saddled with two wars, he wants as much military cred in the bank as he can get. But it also was a genuinely poignant moment. It is how we want our presidents to behave, doing the humane thing especially when it’s hard. And Obama, who called it “a sobering reminder” of sacrifices made, signaled to Americans that he will resist blinders as he grapples with the byzantine, seemingly bottomless conflicts he inherited. Leave it to Liz Cheney, in her continuing bid to out-Cheney her scary dad, to suggest that Obama is a crass publicity-seeker. “I think that what President (George W.) Bush used to do is do it without the cameras,” she told a Fox News radio host. She’s right: There were no press cameras at Dover in the previous administration. There also was no W. While Bush occasionally visited the wounded and the families of those killed, he never went to Dover to salute the fallen. And he barred any media coverage of it, trying to airbrush the evidence that the wars he started were not the cakewalks he had promised. He did not attend a single funeral. It reflected an

emotional and spiritual smallness typical of his administration, like Donald Rumsfeld signing letters to families of dead troops with an autopen and Paul Wolfowitz understating the number of war dead. Dona Griffin, of Terre Haute, Ind., the mother of Army Sgt. Dale Griffin, who was among those Obama saluted, appreciated the president’s presence. “Unless we can see the images and look into the eyes and the faces of those that are sacrificing, we forget,” she said on “Good Morning America.” As Obama conducts his White House seminar about war, Dick Cheney accuses him of dithering. He and W. not only didn’t dither before Iraq, they never bothered to ask “Whither?” Debate and due diligence were for sissies. Far more fun playing Jove, heedlessly throwing thunderbolts. Obama bore witness just as he is deciding whether to accede to Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s request for as much as 80,000 more troops in Afghanistan. He should keep in mind Cyrus Vance’s warning before President Jimmy Carter decided to send a Delta team to rescue the Iranian hostages (an ill-fated decision See Dowd, page 5A

It seems Rocco Landesman, the head of the National Endowment for the Arts, didn’t get the memo, literally. On Sept. 22, stung by controversy about the administration’s effort to turn the arts community into proselytizers of its very special brand of hope and change, the White House issued a stern warning to all governGoldberg ment agencies: Keep politics out of the arts. The White House denied that was ever the intent. Many in the media, as is their wont, took the Obama administration at its word. But not the Web site Big Government (which broke the story) and The Washington Times. They demonstrated that from the earliest days of the presidential transition, Barack Obama’s political operation sought to entrench the arts community in its “outreach” operations. Bill Ivey, Obama’s transition adviser on the arts, admitted in June: “I wanted to see some real connection between administration objectives and the capacity of all the cultural actors in government. I made some progress. I got some agreement.” That “progress” mostly came in the form of enlisting arts groups — groups that received stimulus money — in Obama’s national service agenda. Three days after Landesman was confirmed as the head of the NEA, his communications director, Yosi Sergant, told NEA grantees in a conference call: “I would encourage you to pick something, whether it’s health care, education, the environment — you know, there’s four key areas that the corporation has identified as the areas of service.” Two days later, a host of arts organizations endorsed Obama’s health care plan: “We call on Congress to pass: A health care reform bill that will create a public health option. ... There is little time to waste ...” Of the 21 groups signing the statement, 16 recently had received grants from the NEA or were affiliated with organizations that had. Sergant was thrown under the bus, and the Sept. 22 memo put an end to the story for the supportive media. But the story continues. Last week, Landesman gave the keynote address to the 2009 Grantmakers in the Arts Conference. In fairness, Landesman did not reaffirm the White House and NEA’s obvious initial intent to turn the reportedly independent government agency into an adjunct of Obama’s “Organizing for America” operation. He was more subtle than that. Instead, Landesman embraced a timeless tactic of power politics. He debased himself with incandescently vulgar obsequiousness to his See Goldberg, page 5A

Discussion of economy With the exception of Kyle, everyone seems to think focusing on tourism is still the answer to solving our economic woes. ... Some say that what sets Steamboat apart from other similar vacation destinations is that we are actually a real town where people with careers can live year round; that we are family-oriented; that young professionals could & should choose Steamboat as their home. ... Even if that still may be a little bit true, are we doing things that keep us moving in that direction? Or are we

focusing energy on things that alter the course? The goal should be to lose the term Shoulder Season. Wouldn’t it be great if in 10 years a Main Street retail or restaurant owner was staffing up instead of down in the spring & fall? Picture an old timer saying “Remember mud season?” to a downtown retail shop owner who says, “what’s that?” I would like to hear ideas & strategies that move us toward being a town that happens to have a resort rather than towards a resort that has the IMAGE of being a town. — Karen_Dixon

Obama is trapped in money pits of recession, 2 wars Dowd continued from 4A that provoked Vance’s resignation as secretary of state). “Generals will rarely tell you they can’t do something,” he said. “This is a complex damn operation, and I haven’t forgotten the old saying from my Pentagon days that in the military, anything that can go wrong will go wrong.” Obama, the wunderkind

who came out of nowhere to win the presidency, was supposed to push America out of the ditch and into a glittering future. But modernity is elusive when you’re in a time machine to the 14th century called Afghanistan. The tableau of Obama at Dover evoked the last line of “The Great Gatsby”: “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into

the past.” As Obama comforted families at a tragic moment, he also had to contemplate a tragic dimension of his own presidency: It’s nice to talk about change, but you can’t wipe away yesterday. Obama wants to be the cosmopolitan president of the world, and social engineer at home to improve the lives of Americans.

But what he had in mind for renovating American society hinged on spending a lot of money on energy, education, the environment and health care. Instead, he has been trapped in the money pits of a recession and two wars. For now, the man who promised revolution will have to settle for managing adversity. It is, as Yogi Berra said, “déja vu all over again.”

Landesman cares about only the power of the writer Goldberg continued from 4A supreme leader. “There is a new president and a new NEA,” he proclaimed. “This is the first president that actually writes his own books since Teddy Roosevelt and arguably the first to write them really well since Lincoln. If you accept the premise, and I do, that the United States is the most powerful country in the world, then Obama is the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar. That has to be good for American artists.” After more fawning praise for the “Optimist in Chief,” he added that proof of Obama’s desire to take the NEA in exciting new directions was the

president’s “out-of-left-field choice to head the NEA, a signal I certainly took to mean he wasn’t interested in businessas-usual for the arts.” One must trust that Landesman’s interpretation of his own appointment is accurate. Let us pause to reflect on Landesman’s odd — by which I mean absurd — historical analysis. Obama has written two books, one good, the other a plodding concatenation of political clichés and bromides. Ulysses S. Grant’s memoirs, published by Mark Twain, were a literary triumph. Woodrow Wilson wrote many books of great import but of less literary worth. John F. Kennedy won a Pulitzer for one of his books

— the one he didn’t write, alas. But Richard Nixon wrote plenty, as did Herbert Hoover, including two definitive texts, one on mining, the other on fishing. Oh, and Lincoln never wrote any books. In short, Landesman doesn’t know what he’s talking about. But he does know what he’s doing. What matters to him is not the power of Obama’s writing but the power of the writer. Why else compare a democratically elected president to one of history’s most iconic dictators? That is unless we are to believe he is a huge fan of Caesar’s “De Bello Gallico.” There have been far greater

By displaying with brazenly self-abasing ignorance that he is wholly Obama’s man, Landesman is making it clear that the NEA is completely committed to Obamaism.

Oren W. Marshall

Chester Brady Meier

1921-2009

Oren Marshall passed away Sept. 28 after a six-month illness. He was born on a ranch near Hayden in 1921 and attended school in Hayden. He attended Doane College in Nebraska and the University of Colorado at Boulder. Oren served as a pilot in the Navy in Africa (south of

1980-2009

Casablanca), New York and Puerto Rico during World War II and during the Korean conflict. He worked for 25 years for Ideal Cement Company in Denver and 12 years for the Bureau of Reclamation. Oren was preceded in death by a sister, Louise; an infant son, Steven; and a daughter,

Becky. He is survived by his wife, Ann; and son, Mike. Oren was a member of the Phillips United Methodist church. He was an avid golfer, bowler and woodworker. Services were Oct. 5. Donations may be made to Marshall Memorial, in care of Phillips United Metho dist Church.

Chester Brady Meier’s life was taken in a tragic construction accident in Steamboat Springs the morning of Oct. 9, 2009. He was superintendent of the Urban Renewal Project, a position he held for two years. Brady was born Aug. 7, 1980, in Laramie, Wyo., with a smile on his face. It would be a smile that would remain throughout his 29 years. Laramie was home to Brady while growing up. As a child, he excelled in sports, theater, music and being a goof ball.

Colorado Marine still Most to be insured privately missing after collision Health continued from 1A

the assocaited press

PARKER

The Coast Guard says one of nine people missing after an air collision off the coast of Southern California is a Marine from Colorado. Officials say 1st Lt. Thomas Claiborne, of Parker, was aboard a Marine Corps Super Cobra helicopter that collided with a Coast Guard C-130 cargo plane on Thursday. The 26-year-old Claiborne and another Marine were aboard the helicopter. The C-130 had a crew of seven Coast Guard members. Families of the nine military members lost in the Pacific nearly two days ago held out hope their loved ones would be found alive. Claiborne’s father, Kenneth

Claiborne, of Parker, said Saturday the family didn’t want to comment publicly. Ships and helicopters searched for the missing crew members Saturday. Coast Guard officials say they’ll decide overnight whether to continue searching today. Coast Guard Rear Adm. Joseph Castillo said there was a chance of life because the missing crew members could have been wearing drysuits and were in excellent physical condition. “We continue until there is no more hope. We don’t ever want to suspend the case prematurely, when there may be someone out there,” Castillo said. “But hope gets less every day. My hope today is not what it was yesterday.”

to basics such as ensuring that new coverage will be affordable. “The public option is a significant issue, but its place in the debate is completely out of proportion to its actual importance to consumers,” said Drew Altman, president of the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. “It has sucked all the oxygen out of the room and diverted attention from breadand-butter consumer issues, such as affordable coverage and comprehensive benefits.” The Democratic health care bills would extend coverage to the uninsured by providing government help with premiums and prohibiting insurers from excluding people in poor health or charging them more. But to keep from piling more on the federal deficit, most of the uninsured will have to wait until 2013 for help. Even then, many will

have to pay a significant share of their own health care costs. The latest look at the public option comes from the Congressional Budget Office, the nonpartisan economic analysts for lawmakers. It found that the scaled back government plan in the House bill wouldn’t overtake private health insurance. To the contrary, it might help the insurers a little. The budget office estimated that about 6 million people would sign up for the public option in 2019, when the House bill is fully phased in. That represents about 2 percent of a total of 282 million Americans under age 65. (Older people are covered through Medicare.) The overwhelming majority of the population would remain in private health insurance plans sponsored by employers. Others, mainly low-income people, would be covered through an expanded Medicaid program.

RIVER CREEK PARK Working Together Works!

Public can comment on proposals at Nov. 18 meeting Oak Creek continued from 1A to replace older mobile homes outside of mobile home parks with newer ones,” Wisecup said. The comprehensive plan and land-use code also are geared to preserve the character of the town. Another suggested provision in the land-use code would be to require Main Street business owners to get approval from the Planning Commission to make major changes to the buildings. Susan Corser, who works as an urban planer for small rural

communities, was among the creators of the 1996 plan. She said affordable housing is also a high priority to include in the comprehensive plan. Corser has not worked with the town on the update but might help revise the plan before the Dec. 31 deadline. “With development pressures increasing the cost of land and construction, the town should take strides to assure the homes remain affordable,” the draft update states. “The town must strike a balance between market forces, affordable housing and development that is sensitive to

the environment.” Corser said the Sierra View development in Oak Creek was an example of how affordable housing guidelines could have been better used. There are “some concerns that those houses went on sale for a higher price point than some people would have liked,” she said, noting that there is at least one Yampa Valley Housing Authority plot. The town was scheduled to discuss the comprehensive plan at its Oct. 22 meeting. That was delayed because the company contracted to handle the

comprehensive plan reportedly had not included several recent updates sent by the Planning Commission, and the plans were not ready for the board’s acceptance. The public will have a chance to comment on the proposals during a Planning Commission meeting Nov. 18. After the Planning Commission accepts the revisions, the Town Board will then approve the changes before the documents are submitted to the state. — To reach Zach Fridell, call 871-4208 or e-mail zfridell@steamboatpilot.com

Piano continued from 1A Steamboat Springs in the mid’90s, a few years after Curtze passed away. Curtze got the Steinway as a present when she was 12 years old and played it avidly throughout her early adulthood. Scarlett-Atkinson took lessons on the instrument and has fond memories of gathering around her mother and her piano to sing Christmas carols and of Rimsky-Korsa kov’s “Scheherazade” drifting through the house. “My mother was an artist in her life. She could paint and write, and as I grew up … I remember her piano music, and it was just incredible. She was almost at the level

of a concert pianist,” ScarlettAtkinson said. The notes became less frequent as life took over Curtze’s hobby, but she kept the instrument polished and kept its beauty from fading. ScarlettAtkinson always kept a picture of her mother on the lid of the piano and has her mother’s needlepoint depiction of the instrument hanging on a wall in her Pleasant Valley ranch home.

Concerts to feature piano A move from the East Coast to Steamboat and several years without regular play put the piano in a state of disrepair, one Allen carefully corrected with her nearly three decades’ worth of piano

tuning experience. Allen did a standard interior restoration of the Steinway, replacing hammers and restringing the inside. During four months, she put in a new pin block, put in new dampers, repaired the soundboard and varnished the ebony exterior. Scarlett-Atkinson’s piano has been in the New Space Theatre in the Jim Calaway Building on CMC’s Spring Valley Campus since early October. It will be used for theater productions, concerts during the Jim Calaway Honors Series and possibly student music lessons, said Alison Limoges, director of the annual fund and donor research for the Colorado Mountain College Foundation.

“I am really, truly thrilled that it’s going to be out of storage now finally and that it’s going to be used and in some kind of teaching facility, too,” Scarlett-Atkinson said. Allen is excited to get the piano out of her shop, where it was stored from January 2006 until earlier this month, she said. “It will be fun to work with a new pianist. It will certainly be fun to sing in a great hall,” Allen said. “But I am just so pleased that the piano has a home and is finally going to get its due as being a donation concert instrument. That’s going to be the best part for me.” — To reach Margaret Hair, call 871-4204 or e-mail mhair@steamboatpilot.com

“I think that probably everybody on council, if you ask them, has a different idea,” City Council President Loui Antonucci said. “What are we going to do so it’s not an eyesore and enhances the area?” Antonucci didn’t offer any ideas of his own except to say that he doesn’t think an outdoor

ice rink is feasible. Antonucci said he would like to see an attraction such as ice or snow sculptures, a venue that could be booked for special events or anything else that would attract a crowd to the area. The demolition has created a struggle for the remaining businesses along Ski Time Square Drive and is an annoyance to neighboring condo-

minium owners. “The area is totally deserted,” Torian Plum resident Ron Harelson said at an August meeting of the city’s Urban Renewal Authority Advisory Committee. At the same meeting, committee members discussed an idea presented by URAAC member Peter Patten to base a tethered hot air balloon in the

area. Although the committee reacted favorably, Mathews said he has since spoken with some operators and thinks it may not be a good idea, though he hasn’t ruled it out. “We aren’t going to discount things,” Mathews said. “Let’s throw them in. Some of them are going to make sense. Some of them won’t be practical. … The idea now is let’s get some ideas.” Other ideas Mathews has mentioned include modular, self-contained businesses and kiosks operated by businesses that would like to have a presence on Ski Time Square Drive. At the council meeting, Mathews said he also has spoken with Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. about relocating its temporary music tent from the Knoll Parking Lot. Andy Wirth, Ski Corp. senior vice president of sales and marketing, said he and Ski Corp. President Chris Diamond have a meeting with Mathews this week to discuss ideas for the site. “We have a number of ideas,” said Wirth, who would not be specific about the ideas before the meeting. “We’re going to do everything to help him achieve the desired results. It’s all good news, and stay tuned.” City planner Jonathan Spence said he met with The Atira Group last week to discuss ideas, but he said city officials are relying on the developer to come up with a plan that satisfies the City Council. “As much as council dropped it in both our laps, it’s really the property owner’s responsibility,” Spence said. Joe Kracum, the city’s redevelopment coordinator for the base of Steamboat Ski Area, noted that the Urban Renewal Authority plans to install new signage promoting the area and also plans to install some sort of feature, such as a Christmas tree, in the middle of the Ski Time Square roundabout. Kracum agreed with Antonucci that he would like to see special events such as concerts and fairs in the area, but he also said The Atira Group was taking the right approach by soliciting ideas from the community. “People in the immediate area are those that know best,” Kracum said. “The ideas that come from the people who are there are probably the ideas that will work.” Kracum and URAAC member David Baldinger Jr. praised The Atira Group for what it already has done with the former site of Thunderhead Lodge. The developer is allowing the URA to use the demolished site as a staging area for its construction projects, saving the city money and giving construction crews immediate access to work areas. “The good news is Atira has been very helpful in accommodating the redevelopment by allowing the URA to use the Thunderhead site for staging and will continue to,” said Baldinger, who works on Ski Time Square Drive and said he would like to see at least small steps taken on the former site of the Ski Time Square buildings. “It would be nice by next summer to have some revegetation, landscaping and some basic, nicer outdoor areas.” — To reach Brandon Gee, call 367-7507 or e-mail bgee@steamboatpilot.com

Putting a buzz back in Ski Time Square While the redevelopment ground in Ski Time Square lies fallow, the developers are open to pitches from entrepreneurs with a business plan that could bring some life back to the commercial district at the base of Steamboat Ski Area. The Atira Group’s Mark Mathews said he’d like to hear from self-contained business that could bring more foot traffic to bolster a few remaining businesses in an area that was demolished in summer 2008. “We’d like to bring more goods and services to the area,” Mathews said. “We’ll listen to any ideas people have.” Food carts, vendor kiosks and street musicians are possibilities in the summer and winter.

Historic home hidden in willows Former sheep ranch comprises 31 platted city lots

t first glance, the real estate offering appears to be an impossibility. Never mind the price, how could it be possible to buy 13 acres within the city limits of Steamboat Springs, including 31 platted Story by single-family Tom Ross building lots? Toss in a refurbished historic ranch house with a detached bunkhouse, plus another small home moved to the site from Old Town and a large parcel of industrially zoned land, and it begins to sound more improbable. Chances are, locals have driven by the property of longtime Steamboat residents Mike Kortas and his wife, Nina Darlington, many times without fully appreciating what they were looking at. Their home at the former Eckstein Ranch is secluded by shade trees on 13th Street/ Twentymile Road, just a couple of minutes by bicycle from the public library. The entire 13 acres is available for $1.8 million or broken into its component parts through Realtor Scott Eggleston. He also is offering 9.5 acres of the overall property, including the buildings and the development ground closest to the road, but not the 3.5 acres containing the platted lots, for $1.5 million. “It’s a remarkable deal,” Darlington said. Kortas said some of his

The home of Mike Kortas and Nina Darlington, part of the original Eckstein Ranch, was built in 1935 and recently renovated. The 13-acre property on 13th Street includes 31 platted lots.

efforts to market the property have been met with disbelief. “At the peak of the market I ran an ad offering 7,000-square-foot lots in town for $100,000 and only got three calls,” he said. “Later, people told me they thought it was a bogus ad. I’ve had quite a bit of interest, maybe six calls, from people interested in developing a mobile-home-style subdivision.”

The single-family lots might be the most intriguing part of the offering; however, it’s significant that the original lots that were platted as part of the 1905 Miller-Frazier subdivision are too small to be built on today — just 25 feet wide and 140 feet deep, Kortas said. A developer could in theory combine two of the original lots into one single-family lot today, yielding 15 modern home sites

on the property, he added. “The industrial zoning requires that the primary use be industrial, but you could build a garage of equal size to the home” in order to comply, Kortas said. Two city streets, 13th and Critter Court, lead directly to the lots. Kortas added that $40,000 in prepaid water/sewer taps is in place. “I’d love to preserve this

home,” Kortas said. People who have looked at it in that configuration have been interested in either the home or a light industrial/commercial development, but not both, he said. So he would entertain offers for different pieces of the overall property. Kortas and Darlington live in a modernized 1935 ranch See Ranch house, page 2B

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Taken as a snapshot, real estate sales consummated Wednesday offer a glimpse of a market in transition. There was the $1.4 million sale of a luxury home in Timbers Preserve on the shoulder of Rabbit Ears Pass on Wednesday. And there was the sale of a modest home in Hayden’s Sagewood subdivision for $267,500. An undeveloped 50-acre lot in Murphy Larsen Ranch near Clark sold for $1.35 million. Closer to Steamboat, a rural home on small acreage sold for $550,000.

If you go What: Colorado Group Real Estate Roundup and Expo When: 4 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday Where: Grand ballroom of the Steamboat Grand Resort Hotel 4 to 5:30 p.m. — Expo involving 35 local builders, designers, developers, engineers, lenders and title companies, among others 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. — Real estate update followed by a talk on the foreclosure sale process by Richard Evans, of Stewart Title

In a market where year-todate dollar volume as of the end of the third quarter is down 62 percent, Wednesday’s closings suggest there are buyers looking in a variety of price points

and at widely ranging properties. There aren’t nearly as many buyers as in years past, but there are buyers. “I’m seeing some really smart, conservative people coming back into the market,” Colorado Group broker/owner Jon Wade said. “They wouldn’t have the cash to buy right now if they weren’t smart.” Doug Labor, of Buyers’ Resource Real Estate, tracks market trends for the Board of Realtors and sees room for optimism in transaction volume. After seven consecutive quarters of decline going back to 2007, the end of September marked the second consecutive quarter in which the number of

sales has grown. “That’s the biggest thing I saw in the third-quarter statistics,” Labor said. “Seven quarters ending in the first quarter of 2009 saw declining activity. Now we’ve seen two quarters of increasing activity.” The statistic raises the question, “Was the first quarter the bottom (of the market) in terms of activity?” Labor said. Bruce Carta, of Land Title Guarantee Co., reported that the 86 transactions in September alone compared favorably with the 64 in September 2008. Realtors and people working in related fields will gather Thursday at the Steamboat Grand Resort Hotel to share

information about current real estate market trends during the third Real Estate Roundup and Expo hosted by Colorado Group Realty. “Since its inception, the goal of CGR’s Real Estate Roundup and Expo has been to deliver the facts about our market and our best forecast as to where we believe it’s going,” said Randall Hannaway, a broker/owner and member of Colorado Group’s board of directors. The Roundup and Expo includes a keynote talk by Richard Evans, of Stewart Title, and an overview of the See Realtors, page 2B

house on the property that is notable for its split river rock exterior finishes and a spectacular stone fireplace incorporating beautiful rocks of quartz and petrified rocks, as well as stones evoking a longhorn steer’s head and two heartshaped rocks. Kortas, a mason by trade, carefully rebuilt the fireplace to transform it into a modern heating appliance and also added a garage/office/deck space also sided with a close approximation of the original split stone. In another era, the home was occupied by the Charles and Mary Eckstein family.

They raised sheep on 500 acres stretching south up the flanks of Emerald Mountain. Kortas said their granddaughter, Pat Derr, told him that Mary Eckstein had an upholstery business in an outbuilding that still remains on the property and that Charles trimmed sideburns in a three-chair barbershop in downtown Steamboat. They sold their land to Newell Grant, of Yampa Valley Land and Cattle Co., in about 1970, Kortas said, and the land was annexed into the city in 1992. He bought his piece of the ranch from Grant in 2003 for about $650,000. — To reach Tom Ross, call 871-4205 or e-mail tross@steamboatpilot.com

local market. Evans will speak about Colorado foreclosures and short sales, explaining the different stages of the process, and then take questions from the audience. Wade said sales of distressed properties will represent a portion of the Routt County market in 2010, but he said a large majority of the listings on the local market do not include property owners under duress and many are reflective of owners who do not feel a particular

urgency to sell. Routt County Public Trustee Jeanne Whiddon confirmed this week that the number of pending foreclosures filed in her office stood at 157. The total number of foreclosure proceedings initiated in 2008 was 55. Although the number of filings is up, the actual number of properties in foreclosure represents a small fraction of properties on the market, Wade said. The balance of the program will include an overview of the Steamboat market, putting it in perspective as compared with

the Denver and national markets, Wade said. Panel members can be expected to talk about the flattening of the growth in the number of listings and how that signals a return to stability. In some product categories, Wade said, it’s been seen that relatively small changes in inventory have resulted in sales at strong prices that are comparable even to the peak of the market in spring 2007. He cited his listing of a five-bedroom Eagle Ridge Townhome that sold for $1.05 million in October.

“It’s a powerful example of deals that are being made when price and inventory align and all of a sudden we begin seeing sales,” Wade said. “It’s a challenging market,” he added. “You can navigate it based on your dreams of what you want to happen, or you can navigate based on complete pessimism. But when you navigate it based on real knowledge and data, it’s better for all of us.” — To reach Tom Ross, call 871-4205 or e-mail tross@steamboatpilot.com

Opera house expansion is planned Ross continued from 1B with 26 transactions valued at between $1 million and $1.5 million. Those sales accounted for $30.64 million of the overall housing dollar volume of $145.25 million, according to Bruce Carta of Land Title Guarantee Co. Another 10 homes priced between $1.5 million and $2 million sold in Routt County through Sept. 30. Carta reports that just four homes were sold at prices higher than $2 million through the first nine months of the year.

Expansion planned for Aspen’s opera house Rick Carroll, of The Aspen Times, reports that Aspen’s City Council is considering a conceptual plan to add a $30 million, 32,000-squarefoot expansion to the historic Wheeler Opera House. The council members seek assurances about the financial plan. The addition would be built on a vacant downtown parcel owned by the city. Carroll reported that Wheeler Executive Director Gram Slaton told the council that the expansion would be funded by the Wheeler’s $27 million endowment fund, with another $3 million required. The Wheeler is expected to realize about $2.7 million from the city’s real estate transfer tax this year.

(the “Association”) is holding a proceeding to facilitate the consideration and determination of whether or not the Association should adopt policies relating to certain new standards established by the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, as amended by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (hereinafter referred to as “PURPA”).

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT a Public Hearing will be held by the Board of Directors of the Association at the main business offices of the Association at 32 10th Street, Steamboat Springs, Colorado, on Friday, November 20, 2009, commencing at 11:00 o’clock A.M., MDST, for the purpose of considering additions to or changes of Association policies relating to power production and usage, as required by the amendments by the Electricity Modernization Act of 2005 to the Public Utilities Regulatory Policy Act of 1978 (“PURPA”).

The following new PURPA standards will be considered as part of this proceeding and hearing: 1. Integrated Resource Planning (26 U.S.C. § 2621 (d) (16)). 2. Rate Design Modifications (26 U.S.C. § 2621 (d) (17)). 3. Smart Grid Information (26 U.S.C. § 2621(d) (17)). 4. Smart Grid Investments (26 U.S.C. § 2621(d) (16).

This proceeding and hearing are to be governed by the “Rules for Conducting Proceedings Required by the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (as amended by the Electricity Modernization Act of 2005).” Pursuant to 16 U.S.C. § 2631 (1), the United States Secretary of Energy, any affected electric utility, any electric consumer of an affected electric utility, and any electric consumer of the Association has a right to participate as a formal party to the proceeding and hearing.

Notice of Comment forms, as well as other information pertaining to the proceeding and the respective PURPA standards, may be obtained on the Association’s website or at any of the Association’s offices.

Subsequent to receiving all public comment, after the conclusion of the Public Hearing, the Association Board of Directors will deliberate and make a final determination by no later than the close of business on Friday, December 18, 2009, which is prior to the PURPA deadline of December 19, 2009, for such determination.. This determination will be based upon all of the evidence and public comment in the official proceeding record as it supports the three purposes of PURPA: to encourage (i) conservation of energy supplied by electric utilities, (ii) optimal efficiency of electric utility facilities and resources, and (iii) equitable rates for electric consumers. There is no requirement or assurance that the Association’s Board of Directors will adopt any new policies at the conclusion of this proceeding. ADDENDUM

Below are descriptions of the new PURPA standards to be considered as required by the Energy Information and Security Act of 2007 (EISA).

Describe conditional water right (as to each structure) including the following information from the Refereeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ruling and Judgment and Decree: A. Date of Original Decree: July 7, 2003. Case No. 2000CW74. Court: District Court, Water Division No. 6. B. Legal description: Water will be diverted through the Catamount Pipeline, at the point of diversion for the Yampa River Diversion water right decreed to Catamount Development, Inc. in Case No. 98CW39, District Court in and for Water Division No. 6, which is as follows: in the SW 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Section 5, T5N, R84W, 6th P.M., Routt County, Colorado, at a point 830 feet from the South line and 2051 feet from the East line of said Section 5. C. Source of water: Yampa River. D. Appropriation Date: June 1, 2000. Amount: 1.0 cfs, conditional, with the right to reuse water which returns to Steamboat Springs= irrigation pond and ditch system and the right to store a total of up to 40 acre-feet of the water diverted in the Wilson (East) and Vanderbloemen (West) Ponds located on the Golf Course with the right to refill such ponds repeatedly. 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. The decreed location of the Vanderbloemen Pond is the NW1/4 of the NW1/4 of Section 4, T5N, R84W, 6th P.M., Routt County, Colorado, at a point 350 feet from the North line and 700 feet from the West line of said Section 4. E. Use: Irrigation, including but not limited to irrigation of the Haymaker Golf Course (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Golf Courseâ&#x20AC;?) and the hay meadow located north of the Golf Course (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hay Meadowâ&#x20AC;?), reservoir evaporation, fire fighting, wildlife, piscatorial, and aesthetic purposes. The location of the Golf Course and the Hay Meadow are described on Exhibit A and shown on the map attached hereto as 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Catamountâ&#x20AC;?), 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.

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. You are hereby notified that you will have until the last day of NOVEMBER, 2009 to file with the Water Court a Verified Statement of Opposition, setting forth facts as to why a certain Application should not be granted or why it should be granted only in part or on certain conditions.

THE DENVER POST

Rates for 30-year home loans climbed to 5.03 percent this week, the third consecutive weekly increase. The average rate inched up from 5 percent a week earlier, mortgage company Freddie Mac reported Thursday. The last time the average was higher was the week of September 24, when rates averaged 5.04 percent. Rates had hovered below 5 percent for nearly a month until last week. They hit a record low of 4.78 percent in the spring, but they are still attractive for people looking to buy a home

or refinance. The rates have advanced despite action by the government to prop up the housing market and stimulate the economy. The Federal Reserve has pumped $1.25 trillion on mortgage-backed securities in an effort to lower rates on mortgages and loosen credit. Rates on 30-year mortgages traditionally track yields on long-term government debt. Lenders have tightened their standards dramatically, so the best rates are available only to borrowers with solid credit and a 20 percent down payment. The average rate on a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage increased to 4.46 percent from 4.43 percent.

Don’t try to time the Market or you could lose out.

Last year, Lori Gordon lost half her nest egg but gained a new friend about half her age. That would be Brooke Thalacker, the teacher and aspiring school counselor who now rents part of Gordon’s home. “I just love her,” Gordon said. The two women — and their two dogs — bonded quickly after Thalacker moved in last December. Both have busy independent lives, but they still find time to share one or two meals a week, plus occasional bike rides, wine, ice cream and sometimes

studies at Carleton College in Northfield, Minn. “My grandmother took in boarders.” Gordon, who has lived in her Scandia, Minn., home for 28 years, never would have anticipated adding a roommate at this stage of her life. But fate threw her some curveballs. Several years ago, her husband, a physician, developed a serious illness, so Gordon left her job as a food stylist to care for him. Three years ago, he died. Then, “the economy tanked. I saw my savings disappear.” She had forged a new career as a newspaper columnist and cookbook author, but she wanted to boost her income. “I’m 55 now — it’s not so easy to get a job. I thought, ‘OK, what have I got that I can make work for me?’” The first person who responded was a scam artist. The second had eight dogs. The third was Thalacker. But at first, Thalacker was cautious so she tried to protect her privacy by using a co-worker’s husband’s e-mail address when she replied to Gordon’s ad. This confused Gordon, who Googled the man, not Thalacker, and discovered that a neighbor of hers knew him — and his wife. “We thought he must be getting a divorce,” Gordon said. When Thalacker came to meet Gordon and see the house, she felt at home immediately, she said. Gordon had prepared a rental agreement, but the two women hit it off so quickly that they never even signed it. “We’re well matched,” she said.

“American Idol.” Their living arrangement is short-term. “When she finishes her practicum she’ll look for a job. I don’t know where she’ll find one,” Gordon said. “But I might keep her forever,” she added with a laugh. “I want her to marry one of my sons. She wants me to marry her father.” Roommates as compatible as Gordon and Thalacker are rare, but their circumstances are increasingly common. Last year’s stock-market crash and recession, which wiped out jobs and slashed incomes, have prompted many to look for new sources of revenue. For homeowners, that can mean turning a spare bedroom into a cash cow. Roommate postings on Craigslist have increased 160 percent nationwide during the past 24 months, and 80 percent in the Minneapolis area during the same period, spokeswoman Susan MacTavish Best said. There’s no way to track how many of today’s new roommates were brought together by economic forces, said Marilyn Bruin, associate professor in the University of Minnesota’s housing studies program. “I haven’t seen any data, but I totally believe it’s an economic strategy. It makes sense.” The trend mirrors what happened during and after the last economic meltdown, the Great Depression. “Housing was scarce, and renting of homes was not all that uncommon,” said Clifford Clark, a professor of history and American

Denver-area home prices rose for the sixth consecutive month in August but still were lower than the same period a year ago. Area housing prices were up 1 percent compared with July but down 1.9 percent compared with August last year, according to the Standard & Poor’s/CaseShiller home-price index. Home prices in the 20 U.S. cities Case-Shiller tracks rose in August for a third straight month. The index increased 1 percent from July but was down 11.3 percent compared with the same period a year ago. “Obviously, it’s one more concrete sign of stabilization in the American housing market,” said economist Jeff Thredgold, of Vectra Bank Colorado. “A few months ago, they were down 18 or 19 percent.” The Denver area’s numbers are better than the national numbers because the region didn’t have the huge run-up in prices from 2003 to 2006 that some other areas did, Thredgold said. “You’re getting a very modest

decline year-over-year,” he said. “I suspect the Denver numbers are as good as any in the country.” But Charles Roberts, a broker with Your Castle Real Estate, said there is a vast difference between higher- and lowerpriced homes. “Above $400,000 is still a disaster, but under $250,000 is selling fast,” he said. “At least some of that is driven by the $8,000 (first-time-buyer) tax credit. That spigot might have just turned off, and now we’re going to have to live with the consequences of what’s going to happen.” Economists have predicted the U.S. economy would return to growth during the second half of this year, Thredgold said. He expects the U.S. Commerce Department to make it official with its announcement Thurs day of gross-domestic-product growth. But with housing prices still tied to short sales and foreclosures, Jon Terry, of Realty Professionals of America, expects to see flat or slightly declining prices in the next months.

SPORTS COMMENTARY

John F. Russell

pilot & today staff

Down to a moment

few months from now, on the snow-covered slopes surrounding Vancouver, the world will watch as Olympic champions are determined in terms of meters and seconds. The journey to the games can be measured in years of hard work, measured in seemingly never-ending training sessions and measured in a lifetime of sweat and tears. For the top athletes, all the hard work and all the hours invested in getting there will be packed into a matter of moments once the games begin. The chance to become a part of Olympic history, the chance to pocket a gold, silver or bronze medal, the chance to realize a lifelong dream will all come down to the time it takes to ski or snowboard from the top of a run to the bottom. It will be reduced to the time it takes to push off the starting bar at the top of a ski jump and land at the bottom. Of course, a few events will take a little longer to complete, but in the end, the difference between Olympic glory and Olympic disappointment will be decided in less time than it takes to blink an eye or turn your head. In some cases, a single point or a single judge might crown an Olympic champion. One momentary loss of concentration could be all it takes to change the outcome of some of the most important races of these athletes’ lives. It’s not an easy road. The athletes will have to prove they deserve a shot during the early part of this season. The hours spent perfecting their jumps, their turns and their performances will fade into the background. The only thing that matters is the results. The athletes understand that one solid run or jump, one solid performance at the right time is the only thing standing between them and their Olympic dreams. If they can lay down the performance of their life at a qualifying event, they are in, but if they blink, it could delete years of hard work in a matter of seconds. The same is true once the athletes get to the Games. To some, this process might seem cruel. The idea that an athlete’s value and success can be measured in such a brief period of time might seem unfair. But the seconds on a ski run or the meters on a ski jump and the points awarded on the freestyle course have become the measure of a true Olympic champion. I’m thrilled by the idea that an athlete can, and must, perform on a given day in order to become a champion. The value of an Olympic championship is more impressive when inches or fractions of points separate the athletes. That’s what makes the Olympic Games so exciting. A few months from now, we will be watching the snowcovered slopes that surround Vancouver, B.C., hoping to discover what it takes to become an Olympic champion. I’m not sure I know what it takes, but the magic of the Olympic Games is that it will all come down to seconds, fractions of points and a few meters.

The Broncos, their effort supplemented by a few Sailors of their own, responded, but the Steamboat All Stars held on for the eight-point victory. “It was a lot of fun,” Capistron said. “It was really hard playing against those See Broncos, page 4C

30 years of memories

Storied Steamboat Springs season ‘set the tone for the football family’

t some point, the season had to run out. There had to be a last game played somewhere, a last time they’d all be on the field together. And when Steamboat Springs High School football coach Mark Drake walked into the locker room at Buena Vista High School on a sunny but cold 1979 day — fresh off his team picking up Steamboat’s lone football state championship — Drake realized that this season, maybe more than any other he’d coached, meant something far greater. “I got to the locker room, and the kids were all sitting there,” Drake recalled last week. “I figured they’d all be

sundayfocus Story by Luke Graham really happy. But all the kids were crying. I said, ‘What’s the matter? You just won a state title.’ “They said, ‘We won’t ever get to play together again.’” That was the thing. As storied a season as it was and remains, that season wasn’t necessarily about wins and losses. Sure, Steamboat finished on top — something the football team hasn’t done since — but when players talk about that game and season, it’s the tears of never getting to line up next to one another that outweighed the jubilation of

hosting a golden ball. “That’s just the way they are,” line coach Bob Harris would say after the Buena Vista game. “That’s why they’re winners.”

Beginning a tradition Before 1979, Steamboat had never made the playoffs. The team won a county championship in 1929, but those ’79 Sailors brought something to Steamboat football that hasn’t left. For the past 30 years, Steamboat football has been a staple in the postseason. “I wouldn’t want to slight any other kids,” Drake said, “but the 1979 kids set the tone for the football family.” That season, Steamboat

started the year 2-2 with losses to Holy Family and 1978 state champion Glenwood Springs. At 2-2, Steamboat was able to pick up easy wins against Roaring Fork and Aspen. With a trip to Gunnison — a team many thought would win the state title that year — Steamboat found its turning point. Tom Southall rushed for more than 200 yards against Gunnison, giving him more than 1,000 for the year. But Southall said that was the win that got the Sailors believing the season was about more than just making the playoffs. “We had gotten things See Football, page 5C

Replay call helps Yankees beat Phils Mike Fitzpatrick

Ron Cortes/Philadelphia inquirer

The New York Yankees’ Alex Rodriguez hits into right field, which was ruled a home run after review, against the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 3 of the 2009 World Series on Saturday at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Yankees won, 8-5.

The first instant replay call in World Series history did more than turn a double into a home run. It changed the whole game for Alex Rodriguez and the New York Yankees. Rodriguez’s disputed shot started a big comeback and those powerful Yankees bats finally

broke loose, backing Andy Pettitte in a rain-delayed 8-5 victory against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday night that gave New York a 2-1 Series lead. After pitching dominated the first two games in the Bronx, the Yankees and Phillies showed their muscle, combining for six home runs. Jayson Werth connected twice for Philadelphia.

The Steamboat Springs High School volleyball team’s season came to an end Saturday at the District 8 volleyball tournament in Montrose. Steamboat lost, 3-1, to Montezuma-Cortez and 3-0 to Mullen in pool play. The 18-25, 25-17, 25-21 and 25-17 loss to Montezuma-Cortez proved to be the deal-breaker. To advance to next weekend’s regional tournament, Steamboat had to finish top two in its pool and win a cross-bracket match. Mullen, which was ranked No. 2 Class 4A, easily dispatched Steamboat, 25-12, 25-12 and 25-6. “Losing aside (Saturday), I just had a fun season with these girls,” Steamboat coach Wendy Hall said. “I think they feel the same way. We’ll always have some wonderful memories.” Steamboat started the day out strong. The Sailors beat the Panthers, 25-18, in the first game and looked like they were primed for a big day. But Montezuma-Cortez got a big break in the second game. With the Panthers holding a 19-18 lead in the second game, a controversial call in MontezumaCortez’s favor gave the Panthers a 20-18 lead. “It was a critical point there,” Hall said. “We came out with a stroke of bad luck.” The Panthers cruised from there, and Steamboat was up against it with Mullen. The Mustangs easily put away the Sailors in three games. “I think they’re going to make a run at the title,” Hall said about Mullen. “I haven’t seen every team in the state, but they are definitely a state contender. I’ve seen a lot of 4A volleyball, and there is no reason they shouldn’t be playing for the gold ball in two weeks.” Although there was obvious disappointment for the Sailors, who finished 15-6 overall on the season, Hall said when she thinks about this senior class and this team, only good memories pop up. “What defines it to me is it was such a family unit,” she said. “I feel like they made strong bonds with each other. Not just over the last three or four months, but the last three or four years. “It’s an incredible bond. They created friendships that will go the distance regardless of where they go from here. I really feel like they will have these friendships for a long, long time. That’s the gift they walk away with.”

Tebow, No. 1 Florida continue dominance vs. Georgia JACKSONVILLE, Fla.

Black pants, black helmets and another team-wide celebration. No matter what Georgia does to change its luck against Florida, the result usually stays the same. The Gators own this series. Tim Tebow accounted for four touchdowns, A.J. Jones had two huge interceptions and top-ranked Florida beat the Bulldogs, 41-17, on Saturday for its 17th win in the last 20 meetings between the Southeastern Conference rivals.

No. 3 Texas 41, No. 13 Oklahoma State 14 STILLWATER, Okla.

Curtis Brown and Earl Thomas each returned interceptions for touchdowns, and Cody Johnson had two short touchdown runs as Texas established itself as the clear frontrunner in the Big 12 South. Colt McCoy had an efficient 171-yard performance and threw his 100th career touchdown pass, and the Longhorns avoided the kind of letdown on Halloween weekend that cost them a chance to play for the Big 12 and national championships a year ago.

No. 10 Oregon 47, No. 4 USC 20 EUGENE, Ore.

Jeremiah Masoli threw for 222 yards and a touchdown and ran for 164 more yards with another score, and Oregon handed USC its worst loss in 12 years. Redshirt freshman LaMich ael James ran for 183 yards and a score as the Ducks (7-1, 5-0 Pacific-10) racked up 391 yards on the ground against the Trojans, who came into the game with the fifth-best rush defense in the nation, allowing an average of just 79.9 yards a game.

No. 5 Cincinnati 28, Syracuse 7 SYRACUSE, N.Y.

Zach Collaros threw four touchdown passes to get the Bearcats within a win of the best start in school history. Collaros hit Armon Binns on scoring passes of 81 and 13 yards, Kazeem Alli for 16 yards off a fake field goal, and Adrien Robinson for 4 yards as Cincinnati (8-0, 4-0 Big East) won its 14th straight regular-season game to remain in contention for the national championship.

No. 6 Boise State 45, San Jose State 7 BOISE, Idaho

Kellen Moore threw for 278 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another to get the Broncos their eighth straight win. Boise State (8-0, 3-0 Western Athletic Conference) also got plenty of help from its defense, which held the Spartans (1-6, 0-3) to 223 total yards and forced two turnovers that led to touchdowns.

No. 7 Iowa 42, Indiana 24 IOWA CITY, Iowa

Ricky Stanzi overcame a career-high five interceptions to throw two long touchdown passes in the fourth quarter, helping No. 7 Iowa rally for a 42-24 victory against Indiana on Saturday. Brandon Wegher had a careerhigh 118 yards rushing and three touchdowns for the Hawkeyes (9-0, 5-0 Big Ten), who scored 28 points in the fourth quarter to stun the shell-shocked Hoosiers.

No. 8 TCU 41, UNLV 0 FORT WORTH, Texas

Andy Dalton threw three touchdown passes, Ed Wesley scored running and catching the ball and the TCU defense smothered UNLV to get its first shutout of the season. It was another dominating performance for the eighthranked Horned Frogs (8-0, 4-0 Mountain West), who probably did enough to stay in position to be this season’s BCS buster.

No. 9 LSU 42, Tulane 0 BATON ROUGE, La.

Brandon LaFell caught two touchdown passes, moving him into second on LSU’s career list, and the ninth-ranked Tigers shut out Tulane for the first time since 1969. Charles Scott rushed for 112 yards and two touchdowns, and freshman Russell Shepard scored his second career touchdown — and second in as many games — with a 19 yard run.

No. 11 Georgia Tech 56, Vanderbilt 31 NASHVILLE, Tenn.

Josh Nesbitt ran for two touchdowns and threw for two scores, and Jonathan Dwyer ran for a career-high 186 yards rushing with three touchdowns

for Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets (8-1) improved on their best start since winning a national title in 1990 by winning their sixth straight for their longest winning streak since 2000. They also won a fourth road game this season, which they hadn’t done since 2000.

No. 12 Penn State 34, Northwestern 13 EVANSTON, Ill.

No. 12 Penn State shut out Northwestern in the second half and the Nittany Lions scored three fourth-quarter touchdowns in less than four minutes. Daryll Clark threw a 53-yard touchdown pass to Derek Moye and Evan Royster broke off a 69-yard scoring run to highlight the fourth-quarter surge that took 3 minutes, 40 seconds.

No. 15 Houston 50, Southern Miss 43 HOUSTON

Case Keenum threw for a career-high 559 yards and had five touchdowns, his last coming with 21 seconds remaining. Keenum broke the tie with a 46-yard pass to Patrick Edwards. The Golden Eagles had a chance to tie it, but Martevious Young’s heave from midfield was knocked down in the end zone as the final seconds ticked off the clock.

No. 17 Ohio State 45, New Mexico State 0 COLUMBUS, Ohio

Dane Sanzenbacher caught two touchdown passes and Terrelle Pryor threw for one and ran for another. The game was a respite for Ohio State (7-2), which closes the regular season with pivotal Big Ten games at Penn State, against Iowa and at Michigan. Tempering the win was the possible loss of kicker Aaron Pettrey, who left with an apparent knee injury.

No. 18 Miami 28, Wake Forest 27 WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.

Jacory Harris threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Travis Benjamin with 1:08 left. Harris threw for 330 yards and three touchdowns for the Hurricanes (6-2, 3-2 ACC), who trailed 27-14 going into the fourth quarter. Miami took advantage of a muffed punt to score a touchdown, then took its first lead when Harris directed an 82-yard scoring drive in the final minutes that ended with Benjamin’s diving catch near the left pylon.

Gary W. Green/Orlando Sentinel

Florida wide receiver Riley Cooper halls in a pass for a touchdown from quarterback Tim Tebow over Georgia’s Brandon Boykin during the first quarter at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla., on Saturday. Florida won, 41-17.

No. 19 Utah 22, Wyoming 10

with the Sooners was over because of a shoulder injury. SALT LAKE CITY

Utah freshman Jordan Wynn passed for 82 yards and a touchdown in his college debut, replacing starter Terrance Cain in the second half.Eddie Wide tied a school record with his fifth straight 100-yard rushing game and added a late touchdown to seal the win for Utah (7-1, 4-0 Mountain West), which trailed 10-3 at halftime.

Tennessee 31, No. 21 South Carolina 13

Auburn 33, No. 24 Mississippi 20 AUBURN, Ala.

Chris Todd passed for 212 yards, Ben Tate ran for 144 yards and Walt McFadden returned an interception for a touchdown. The Tigers (6-3, 3-3 SEC) scored 23 points in the third quarter and turned away Jevan Snead and the Rebels (5-3, 2-3) seven times on drives to midfield or beyond.

No. 25 Notre Dame 40, Washington State 14

SAN ANTONIO

Golden Tate scored two touchdowns, including a spectacular grab of a desperation heave at the end of the first half, and Notre Dame got it’s first easy win in almost two months. The previous six games for Notre Dame (6-2) were nerve-wrackers decided in the final seconds. But Washington State (1-7) was buried by halftime.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.

Decked out in black jerseys, Tennessee took three South Carolina fumbles and turned them into touchdowns and Jonathan Crompton threw two touchdown passes. Montario Hardesty ran for two more scores and Rico McCoy forced two fumbles as coach Lane Kiffin grabbed his first win against a ranked opponent.

No. 22 Oklahoma 42, Kansas State 30 NORMAN, Okla.

Landry Jones passed for 294 yards and four touchdowns and DeMarco Murray scored three times. Jones was making his fifth career start and first since Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford announced his career

Missouri ends 3-game losing streak against CU Colorado football BOULDER

Gary Pinkel has a file full of motivational speeches designed to defuse deflating losses. The Missouri coach doesn’t need to brush one off this week as the Tigers snapped a threegame slide. Behind a 33-0 start and a swarming defensive unit that had eight sacks and forced four turnovers, the Tigers held off Colorado, 36-17, on Saturday. Pinkel can save that sermon for another time. “It takes a lot of courage from the team and a lot of positive attitudes and perseverance to come out of that,” Pinkel said. “I can’t tell you how good it feels to win again.”

Douglas E Davis Financial Advisor 970-824-8123

The Tigers (5-3, 1-3 Big 12) roared out, leading 33-0 late in the second quarter and appearing to be on their way to another rout of Colorado (2-6, 1-3). Instead, the Tigers had to hold off Colorado’s second-half surge. The defense came up big in the final quarter, ending three Colorado drives on fourth-down stops and another on an interception.

Air Force 34, Colorado State 16 FORT COLLINS

Tim Jefferson threw two touchdowns passes and Air Force rolled to a 34-16 victory against Colorado State on Saturday.

BRING IT HOME!

Kyle Halderman scored two touchdowns and Erik Soderberg kicked two field goals, including a career-long 50-yarder for Air Force (5-4, 4-2 Mountain West). Reggie Rembert had his third interception of the season and Air Force punted only once. Grant Stucker ran for a touchdown and Ben LeLine had a 22-yard field goal for Colorado State (3-6, 0-5). The Rams have lost six in a row, their longest streak since losing 13 in a row during 2006 and 07.

Northern Colorado 21, South Dakota 17 GREELEY

Needing a big drive to pull out a win at home,

Bryan Waggener and Andre Harris delivered for Northern Colorado. Waggener directed an 89-yard drive in the fourth quarter and Harris finished it off with a 1-yard plunge with 5:20 left as Northern Colorado beat South Dakota, 21-17, Saturday. Waggener threw for two touchdowns and 281 yards, 47 of them on the 13-play drive that rallied the Bears to victory. “Bryan Waggener stepped up and made some huge plays,” Northern Colorado coach Scott Downing said. The Bears (3-6) overcame 177 yards of penalties to win for just the second time in eight games.

Girls coach refereed game Broncos continued from 1C guys that were so much taller, but we might have been quicker than they were.” A win against the Broncos Alumni was something to take pride in, though as the game wore on, both sides began taking things a little less seriously. The older Broncos didn’t always bother to run back and play defense, instead hanging down near their own basket to catch their breath and wait for a cherry-picking opportunity. Jackson intercepted one pass in the paint in front of Steamboat’s basket, and rather than quickly rush down for a layup, he passed it right back for two easy Steamboat points. The Broncos definitely had the ref — Steamboat Springs High School girls basket-

ball coach John Ameen — in their pocket. The Sailors were repeatedly whistled for phantom fouls so egregious Bobby Knight would have burned the building down. It didn’t result in any easy free throws, however, as the Broncos went into the stands to find children and other fans to take all of their charity tosses. “I don’t really play any basketball, but my brother’s teaching me,” 7-year-old Kyle Taulman said after the former Broncos lifted him from his wheelchair and up to the rim to put home one of their free throws. “That was a lot of fun,” Kyle said. — To reach Joel Reichenberger, call 871-4253 or e-mail jreichenberger@steamboatpilot.com

Rain affected schedule World Series continued from 1C ule in Philadelphia for the second consecutive year, delaying the start by 1 hour, 20 minutes. Once they hit the field in front of their boisterous fans, the Phillies took a 3-0 lead — but it was squandered by a struggling Cole Hamels. Game 4 is tonight. Joe Blanton pitches against Yankees ace CC Sabathia, who goes on

three days’ rest for the second time this postseason. A slumping Nick Swisher and Hideki Matsui also went deep for New York, and Johnny Damon hit a tiebreaking, tworun double. Pettitte settled down after a shaky start and even helped himself at the plate with a tying single. His six-inning outing was enough to earn his 17th postseason win, extending his major league record. Some fans were dressed in Phillies red — others in full costume for the second-ever World Series game on Halloween. They whipped around white rally towels, but their team just got whipped. Carlos Ruiz of the Phillies homered in the ninth off Phil Hughes. Mariano Rivera finished up in a non-save situation. With the Yankees down three runs, Mark Teixeira walked in the fourth and Rodriguez hit an opposite-field drive deep into the right-field corner. He cruised into second base with an apparent double after the ball ricocheted back onto the field. Video replays, however, showed the ball struck the lens of a television camera positioned just above the fence at the 330-foot sign. New York manager Joe Girardi came out to talk with right-field umpire Jeff Nelson as Phillies pitching coach Rich Dubee visited the mound. While Rodriguez chatted with Ryan Howard, of the Phillies, at second base, umpires huddled in the infield. Four of the six went under the stands for a look at the replay and emerged about a minute later. The signal: home run. Rodriguez’s first hit in nine World Series at-bats was his sixth homer this postseason, tying Bernie Williams’ club record from 1996. It also was the 17th postseason homer this year for the Yankees, setting a franchise mark. The call seemed to give the Yankees a boost and help them break out of their Series slump — the team that led the majors in runs (915) and homers (244) during the regular season scored only four times in the first two games at home. New York kept hitting in the fifth and chased Hamels. Swisher opened with a double and slid home with the tying run when Pettitte looped a oneout single to center on a firstpitch breaking ball. It was Pettitte’s third hit in 18 career postseason at-bats, second in World Series play. Who needs a designated hitter? Then, the Fox broadcast caught Derek Jeter saying to plate umpire Brian Gorman: “We’re going to have to listen to Pettitte now. He’s been bragging about his hitting all year.” Jeter fisted a soft single and Damon cracked a two-run double to right-center for a 5-3 lead. Hamels was lifted after another walk to Teixeira and walked off the mound to a mix of boos and cheers. The left-hander, who was 4-0 with a 1.80 ERA in the postseason last year, fell to 1-2 with a 7.58 ERA in four outings this time around.

Vokoun stops 34 for Florida shutout NHL ROUNDUP

Islanders 5, Sabres 0 UNIONDALE, N.Y.

Martin Biron earned his 200th NHL win and 26th career shutout, and Jeff Tambellini scored three goals for his first career hat trick as the New York Islanders routed the Buffalo Sabres, 5-0, Saturday night to stretch their winning streak to three games. Biron made 38 saves in his first victory with the Islanders since joining the club during the offseason. He was 0-3-2 in his first six outings with the team. The Islanders won for the third time in four days to improve to 4-4-5 this season.

Flyers 6, Hurricanes 1 PHILADELPHIA

Braydon Coburn scored twice, and Scott Hartnell and Matt Carle each had a goal and two assists to help Philadelphia snap a two-game losing streak and send Carolina to its eighth straight loss. David Laliberte, playing in his first NHL game, and James Van Riemsdyk each had a goal and an assist for the Flyers, unbeaten in their last six regulation games at home against Carolina. Brandon Sutter scored for the Hurricanes (2-7-3), off to their worst start since 1997 when they were 2-7-2.

Wild 2, Penguins 1 PITTSBURGH

Niklas Backstrom made 34 saves, and Minnesota won on the road for the first time this season. Kyle Brodziak and Eric Belanger scored in the first period for the Wild, who avoided

being the first team in 17 years to start 0-9 on the road. Including Minnesota’s victory against the New York Rangers on Friday, the Wild won consecutive games for the first time this season.

BOSTON

Rookie Tuukka Rask turned aside 19 shots for his second shutout in eight NHL starts, and Vladimir Sobotka and Blake Wheeler set each other up for goals to lead Boston against Edmonton. Rask was locked in a scoreless duel with veteran Nikolai Khabibulin until Wheeler converted on Sobotka’s hard work 2:47 into the third period. Sobotka finished off a 2-on-1 at 7:02. Rask, in his fourth start this season, gave Boston its third straight shutout of Edmonton and the Bruins’ eighth win in a row against the Oilers, dating to 2000. He blanked the New York Rangers in his start last season.

Thrashers 3, Senators 1 OTTAWA

Ondrej Pavelec made 50 saves, and Rich Peverley had a goal and assist for Atlanta, which broke a four-game losing streak by beating Ottawa. Zach Bogosian and Maxim Afinogenov also scored for the Thrashers (5-4-1), who played without injured captain Ilya Kovalchuk. Atlanta snapped an 0-3-1 skid. Mike Fisher scored the lone goal for the Senators (6-4-2), who lost their second in a row. Pascal Leclaire stopped 18 shots, but his teammates struggled to create any real offensive threat.

Devils 2, Lightning 1, SO TAMPA, Fla.

David Clarkson scored the lone shootout goal in the fourth round of the tiebreaker, and New Jersey extended its road winning streak to seven games. The run at the start of the season equals the second longest in NHL history, matching Toronto (1940-41), Philadelphia (1985-86)

Predators 4, Stars 2 NASHVILLE, Tenn.

Patric Hornqvist and Kevin Klein scored goals 1:43 apart midway through the third period to lead Nashville against Dallas. The Predators are on a season-high three-game winning streak. Dallas lost for the second time in two nights. The teams traded power-play goals in the first. Steve Ott scored for Dallas and Shea Weber answered for Nashville. James Neal assisted on Ott’s goal, giving him a point in a career-high six consecutive games.

Canadiens 5, Maple Leafs 4, SO MONTREAL

Mike Cammalleri and Scott Gomez scored in a shootout to lift Montreal against Toronto after squandering a two-goal lead in the third period. The Canadiens led 4-2 midway through the frame, but Alexei Ponikarovsky’s second of the game and a last-minute goal from Tomas Kaberle tied it with 54 seconds left in regulation. Both Montreal shooters beat Vesa Toskala in the shootout. Jaroslav Halak stopped Lee Stempniak and Kaberle in Toronto’s first shootout of the season.

1979, 2009 teams have eerie similarities Football continued from 1C going,” he said. “We figured that might be a forbearer of good things to come.” Steamboat would beat Meeker and then clinch a playoff spot against Rifle in the final game of the season. The team had to go back to Gunnison for the first round of the playoffs. A Mitche Graf 37-yard interception return for a touchdown was the difference in a 14-6 Steamboat win. Steamboat beat Salida, 38-6, in the quarterfinals and Sheridan, 52-15, in the semifinals, a game where Southall set a then-playoff record with 412 yards rushing. That set up a game at Buena Vista, a small team that would be the most physical team Steamboat had seen all year.

One game, one chance Steve Nicks’ raspy voice still can describe what a physical contest the state championship game became. The 30-year-old wounds and scars still are fresh in Nicks’ mind. As an offensive and defensive tackle for Buena Vista, Nicks felt it was his team’s destiny to be state champions. Buena Vista had beaten rival Salida that year for the first time in 12 years. The team, Nicks said, was primed to be the state champion. “We were a real small team,” Nicks said Thursday from his Buena Vista home. “Other teams would laugh at us, and we’d beat them hard. But with Steamboat, we’d hit them and hit them and hit them and it didn’t seem to matter.” The game was so big locally that extra bleachers from the prison south of town were moved in. In an admittedly hostile environment, the two teams played to a scoreless

first-half tie. But the first half wasn’t without controversy. Late in the second quarter, Southall had fielded a punt. It glanced off him, and Southall tried to pick it up but knocked the ball into the end zone. Buena Vista recovered and thought it was on its way to a 7-0 lead. But the refs convened and called it a muffed punt. At that time, a muffed punt became a dead ball when it reached the end zone. “Luckily, the ref knew the rules,” Southall said. “I was cussing and trying to fight for the ball, thinking I was mad for letting the other team score a touchdown. Fortunately, the ref knew what the rule was. I thought I had messed up, but it was a tie ball game. That was a real big momentum shift.” Steamboat would score touchdowns on its first two possessions in the second half, to take a 12-0 lead. It was a lead the team would never relinquish. “We got to be a pretty closeknit team. It was a fun time,” quarterback Kent Williams said. “That’s what we wanted to do. We were bound and determined to win.”

Eerily similar Those in Steamboat who didn’t make the trip met the team at the top of Rabbit Ears Pass. As the convoy reached Steamboat, that once-in-a-lifetime team was treated like royalty. “That’s one of the top moments,” said Joe Ramunno, who played offensive and defensive line on that 1979 team and is now the head football coach at Mesa State College. “I always tell our players about that. What a special group. The love you

ST. LOUIS

Tomas Vokoun stopped all 34 shots for his 32nd NHL shutout, and Nathan Horton had a goal and an assist as Florida beat St. Louis, 4-0. Cory Stillman, Stephen Weiss and Dennis Seidenberg also scored for the Panthers, who won Friday night in a shootout at Dallas. The back-to-back wins matched Florida’s win total for the month before Friday. Vokoun improved to 13-10-3 overall against St. Louis.

have and all the people surrounding that. That was, probably when I look at it, just a special, special group. It’s one of the all-time great groups.” That group is drawing comparisons to the 2009 Steamboat Springs High School football team. This year’s Sailors are 9-0 and are regarded by many as a team that could seriously contend for a 2009 state championship. But the similarities and odd coincidences are eerie. In 1978, Glenwood won a state title before Steamboat won the next year. Last season, Glenwood won a state title. Fred Latimer, who played fullback on the 1979 state championship team, started his freshman year at Colorado State University as a tailback. The center on that CSU team? Current Steamboat football coach Aaron Finch. Coincidentally, Steamboat also beat Buena Vista, 58-13, on Friday night. Many of the players from the 1979 state championship team met this year for a reunion. As part of the celebration, the team went to watch this year’s team beat Rifle for homecoming. Stories were shared, players hugged and of course there were a few tears. But the one thing that team always has realized was the impact the game had not just on them but also on the community. “It’s not like Cherry Creek and Mullen. Here, state championships are special,” Southall said. “They don’t come around very often. You realize how special a group it really was when you finally do get that gold football.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

ealistically, Essam Welch had no choice but to “get back up on that horse.” Welch and his bike are a fixture in Steamboat Springs, no matter the season. He doesn’t even own a car, happily pedaling day in and day out from his home to his job at Orange Peel in downtown Steamboat. He rides his bike to meet up with friends, and he rides to the grocery store. His favorite mode of transportation gave him one heck of a buck, though. Welch sustained such serious injuries in a September fall that he had to spend a week in a Durango hospital and only recently returned to Orange Peel. Riding Sept. 16 on a pre-ride of the course for the SingleSpeed World Championships in Durango, Welch came up on a small ledge on the unfamiliar trail. “As I got up onto an elevated section, I stalled,” he said. “I began to lose my balance, and I ditched the bike and jumped down the side.” There was little in the direction he leapt other than a steep slope. Still, he managed to catch himself and keep from tumbling down. He didn’t prevent serious injury, however. He landed in a squat and as his feet impacted, his knees flew upward and smashed into his face. The damage was severe, and friends and fellow riders raced to help, including Steamboat biker Ethan Johnson. “We had to decide whether to wait for search and rescue or climb down to the trailhead,” Welch said. “I got up, and we started walking, someone else with my bike.” Being on the road to safety did little to soothe Welch’s sudden and intense pain. His eyes were so swollen he could barely see, and he still doesn’t know exactly who helped him down from the trail. He even hopped back on his bike to coast down several easy, straight sections simply in an effort to reach the trailhead faster. Finally, a search and rescue team dispatched to help caught up to them 400 yards from the parking lot, and they whisked him to the local hospital. Things didn’t get much better there. One week, six hours of surgery and eight titanium plates in his face later, he finally came back to Steamboat. First thing he did, of course, was hop on his bike. “I had to ride down to Orange Peel and let the guys know how I was doing,” he said. Besides one soon-to-berepaired chipped tooth, there’s not a lot of evidence that he spent a week in the hospital. Welch said he had health insurance several years ago when he broke his collarbone during a Town Challenge race, and he still had the self-purchased insurance last month when he needed it the most. “If I could encourage anyone to do anything based on this, it would be to always acknowledge the risks they take and to prepare for the possibilities,” he said.

Even snow can’t keep kayakers from hitting Gore Canyon

riday was one early snowy day that Chan Zwanzig spent indoors, shifting his mid-morning focus between reruns of “SportsCenter” on the television and the light snowfall out the window. Story by “Look outside on a day Joel like today and Reichenberger you can see why my season is over,” the local kayaking pioneer said with a laugh. It was a different story 15 (or so) years ago. Zwanzig can’t remember whether it was 1994 or 1995, but on his 46th or 47th birthday he could only smile when he looked out on a freezing and snowy day like Friday. Dec. 12, his birthday, was the latest in the season he ever dipped his kayak into the Colorado River for a run down Gore Canyon. “The whitewater will never freeze,” he explained. “But it splashes up on the boulders, and that spray will freeze on the rocks and grow like mushrooms until it covers everything over.” On that Dec. 12, it was like he was kayaking in a Mario Brothers fantasy. He wore the warmest clothes he owned underneath a dry suit. He had to abandon the river and hoof his kayak around ice jams three times. “We were portaging in a couple feet of powder on rocks. You almost had to sled your way through it,” he said. “We were slipping and sliding, trying not to fall through the rocks and dragging a kayak and paddle.” When he finally reached the bottom, he pulled his kayak out of the river one final time, dragging it up through the kind of snow that would make most of Steamboat squeal with joy. That was the extreme, but even kayakers who have no ambition to pull a kayak through fresh snow know that when it comes to late-season boating, Gore Canyon is as good as it gets.

Season extension To many, Routt County kayaking meets its end as the snowmelt tails off and a parade of tubes and tourists swarm the oh-so-popular Yampa River wave at Charlie’s Hole. To the more serious, the season continues across the state. Just as it did 15 years ago, it all ends at Gore Canyon. “For that whole end of the season, pretty much from the month of August on, we are traveling from Gunnison to Wyoming or wherever, but always down to Gore two or three times a week,” local enthusiast Dan Piano said. “We go every weekend day and any time we can get out of work early.”

Chan Zwanzig hikes away from a nearly frozen Colorado River after a late-season kayaking trip through Gore Canyon.

Gore Canyon is an elite kayaker’s dream come true. It is a seemingly endless supply of water that rushes through a treacherous canyon to create world-class rapids. The canyon lies southwest of Kremmling. The Colorado River is the kayaker’s highway, the water coming from the river’s source in Rocky Mountain National Park and the Green Mountain Reservoir. It offers nearly year-round appeal.

Year-round challenge In the spring, the reservoir and the river’s banks are pushed to the brink as the winter’s snow melts away. The Gore can roar, pumping more than 10,000 cubic feet per second down the channel. “That is as big and scary as any river anywhere,” Piano said about the early season runoff at Gore Canyon, a phenomenon he and his friends try to hit several times a year. “When it’s a high flow like that, it’s a challenge to run. It can just

get huge with 15-foot standing waves.” Through those months, Gore can be awesome, but it’s one of many such experiences available for Colorado boaters. The rest of the state dries up as the snowmelt flows southwest throughout the summer, however. Come fall, Gore stands head and shoulders above most of what remains. When fall comes to Gore Canyon, the area’s most dangerous aspects become more obvious. A railroad runs along one of the canyon walls, which can tower as high as 1,000 feet above the water. When that track was built, much of the debris from the wall and any tunnels was blasted out, down into the water. That was long before anyone considered attacking that section of the river in a small plastic boat, but those boulders remain today and are the canyon’s primary defense. “Those rocks are sharp, meaning when you hit them,

they hurt more than smooth, round boulders,” Zwanzig said. “They create some phenomenal rapids that are still extremely difficult.”

Finding the finish For Piano, it came to an end within the last week. The steady stream of water released from the reservoir was cut from a kayaker-approved 1,100 cfs to about 900 on Oct. 23. It was dropped again Monday to 800, and by Friday, it was trickling at about 550. “It can be a fine line,” he said. “It’s safer at the lower levels, but around 800 some of the holes can get really sticky, and if you don’t hit your line just right, it will suck you back in and beat the crap out of you.” He wasn’t sweating it, however, having made about 30

trips in the spring, summer and fall to the canyon. He and his friends spent the season on the highway, crisscrossing the region in search of running water. “I’m addicted to it,” Piano said about kayaking. “I’ve been doing it forever, and it kind of, well, it just makes me happy.” And he said that’s what he found each of the 30 times he paddled into Gore Canyon even long after most kayakers had put their boats up for the winter. “I still get nervous at the top,” Piano said. “That’s cool. It’s always fun, always challenging, and every time you get to the bottom, if it went well, you’re pretty happy with yourself.” — To reach Joel Reichenberger, call 871-4253 or e-mail jreichenberger@steamboatpilot.com

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Lindsay Townsend Age: 22 Occupation: Front desk at Mountain Eyeworks Place of birth: Beaumont, Texas

Q. When did you move

to Routt County, and what brought you here? A. November of 2006, for a boyfriend from England who got a job on the mountain.

Q. Has a book ever changed your life? What was it and why? A. Yes, “Cowboys Are My Weakness.” It opened my eyes to the pain women endure from men. Q. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given? A. “Keep your head high and never give up,” from my mother. Q. What three things would you want people to know about you? A.

be when you grew up? A. A lawyer.

Jim Iacovetto, eldest son of family patriarch Sam Iacovetto, could be found around the South Routt area wearing his denim overalls, his denim jacket and his strong work ethic. As an engineer on the railroad for 43 years, Jim Iacovetto was part of a South Routt tradition of

an involved family that shaped many aspects of early Phippsburg. Iacovetto died Oct. 25 in Grand Junction. He was 96 years old and Iacovetto had lived in Delta County for the past 35 years. As Iacovetto grew up in Phippsburg, the eldest of nine boys and one girl, he was part

of a family that created some of the earliest businesses in the southern part of the county. Sam Iacovetto created a general market under his name, where he sold everything the miners and ranchers in the region would need. His sister-in-law Louise Iacovetto said Jim helped out at the family store from time to time but that his heart was with the railroad.

“He worked on the railroad ... he always found something to keep busy,” Louise said. “He was just a man who was always busy. He didn’t sit and read or do anything like that.” Louise Iacovetto was a junior in high school when she stayed for a winter with Jim Iacovetto on the ranch a couple of miles outside of Phippsburg on Routt County Road 15. “They treated me like family

Q. In the Meatloaf song, “I’d do anything for love, but I won’t do that,” what is that? A. Some sort of reference to mashed potatoes, I’d say. I think meatloaf is secretly jealous of mashed potatoes. Q. What was your first

job?

A. A telemarketer for an insurance company.

A. Yes, spiders and breaking bones during ski season. Q. If you could go back in time, to what event or time period would you go? A. I would go back to high school and be much nicer to my parents.

Butternut squash soup, such as the one made by Drunken Onion Get & Go Kitchen owner Ben Stroock, is just one of the fall soups people look to for comfort.

t the first sign of cold weather this year, Ben Stroock had a problem. His Drunken Onion Get & Go Kitchen was just coming off a rush of end-of-summer catering when the air outside got chilly. Before he knew it, the eight to 15 varieties of soup he keeps in rotation were almost completely wiped out. “It just becomes soup sea-

son and people just want all of them,” Stroock said while pouring veggie stock into a vat of roasted butternut squash soup Thursday afternoon. As the temperature falls, local restaurants kick their soup production into high gear to meet demand. Winona’s Restaurant goes through 25 to 30 gallons every few days, up from the same

amount each week when it’s warmer. Creekside Café and Grill trades a daily offering of broth-based French onion soup for a creamy ham and green chili option. Freshies Restaurant ups its soup menu from one variety to five to seven savory stews. “Yesterday, we had three pots of soup on the stove; by 8 in the morning, we had

15 gallons of soup cooking,” Freshies co-owner Scott Fox said Thursday morning. Fox shares the Freshies soup duty with two other cooks — among the three of them, the offerings change frequently to include hearty flavors such as butternut squash and tomatobasil in bisques, chowders See Soups, page 2D

School doing OK without gym Hayden district pursuing solutions including grants Jack Weinstein

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

HAYDEN

Hayden Middle School is getting along fine without the use of its gym, for now, Principal Gina Zabel said Thursday. Favorable weather, creative solutions and lack of conflicts with Hayden High School for

shared use of its gym have allowed the middle school to have activities inside. Those include physical education classes, indoor athletic practices and the after-lunch break period for students. The middle school gym was condemned this summer because it required substantial repairs the district couldn’t afford.

Zabel said the biggest issue so far has been shifting staff duties for supervising the after-lunch break period, which allows its 98 students 10 to 15 minutes to burn off steam before returning to classes. Students spend that break outside now but spent it in the middle school gym during See Gym, page 2D

winter in past years. “It’s not a huge issue for us yet,” she said. “It will be a challenge when the weather hits. Until then, it’s just fine.” When the snow does start to fall, Zabel said, those chal lenges include finding space for indoor recess and athletic practices, which they’ve been able to hold outside so far this school year. The middle school, which used the high school gym for some physical education class es in the past, now shares it for all classes, which has worked out so far, Zabel said. But she said as more activities for the middle and high school are scheduled at the same time, creative solutions would be necessary. “It’s been OK,” Super intendent Greg Rockhold said Thursday. “It has not been optimal.”

The state fire marshal con demned the gym after an inspec tion that deemed it unsafe in late June, Rockhold said. It wouldn’t be opened for use until after it was repaired and a subsequent inspection had taken place. The district contacted Studer Engineering, of Steamboat Springs, in July. The initial report prepared by Luke Studer indicated that the gym, which was built in 1947, needed only minor repairs. “We believe the areas of con cern can be stabilized to main tain stability and safety for the near term (for a few years) in a manner that would not be expensive but also would not be cosmetically pleasing,” the report stated. Rockhold said he thought the district would be able to afford those repairs, which were estimated at $5,000 to $10,000. However, a subsequent study by Studer indicated that the repairs were far more extensive than initially estimated. It recommended repairs including reinforcing the gym with a steel frame, reinforcing the deteriorating south mason ry wall with concrete pillars, replacing doors and windows and shoring up the foundation. The estimated cost was $20,000 to $30,000, which Rockhold said at the time the district couldn’t afford.

The Hayden School Board in Hoza said. Hoza added that August asked Rockhold to solicit a bond issue for upgrading, bids for the gym’s repair and its remodeling or expanding the demolition. It received a more gym could be three years down than $151,000 repair bid and the road. a nearly $80,000 He said the prob demolition bid lem was that pre “I think the from one company. paring a bond issue challenge right now Steamboat-based requires significant is it’s not a good Environmental Re time, resources and source Group sub planning.

Pretty much anything that makes a cook happy can be classified as a fall soup. “Think back to what your comfort foods are. I think everyone has their own idea of what that is,” Stroock said. Most soup preparations require just a few steps. A few right moves with the ingredi ents can make all the differ ence, Stroock said. A basic broth without overpowering flavor and kosher or sea salt help the soup’s main compo nents shine, and a splash of

lemon juice at the end makes everything pop, he said. For larger recipes, like many of those listed here, most home cooks will have leftovers. Refrigerate leftover soup un covered until it is completely chilled. Portion the chilled soup into airtight containers; a quart of soup makes din ner for two people, Stroock said. Soup will stay good in a freezer kept at zero degrees Fahrenheit or less for as long as three months, he said. MATT STENSLAND/STAFF

hen you’re making dessert, whether it’s for a Halloween party or a holiday season meal, it’s always so much fun to come up with something surprisingly different — a reci pe that not only makes people take excited notice from the moment you serve it, but also continues to win happy “oohs” and “ahs” all the way to the last bite. That’s certainly what hap pened a couple of years ago when I made a special pumpkin dessert during an appearance on the “Live with Regis and Kelly” show. My assistant for that cooking les son was guest co-host David Duchovny of “The X-Files” fame, and he definitely added a surreal and funny spirit to the proceedings. I wanted to make a pump kin cheesecake. But the last

thing I wanted it to be was the usual kind with a crumb crust. So I decided, instead, to show a crustless cheesecake. In a way, a crustless cheese cake is similar to a classic egg custard, or flan, only with cream cheese and sour cream added. So, I thought, why not give my pumpkin cheesecake the same delicious flourish that a classic European-style flan often has: a coating of rich caramel, that lines the sides of the pan in which it is molded and then covers and See Puck, page 4D

Bear River School starts health campaign 75 years ago From the Friday, Nov. 2, 1934, edition of The Steamboat Pilot: The Bear River School has started a health campaign. There are 14 children in the school who will be provided with milk and cod liver oil as a means of bringing them up to normal weight. In every school there are a number of children who are underweight from lack of nutri tion or some other cause. The health survey will aid in deter mining who these children are. Teachers who are ready to start this beneficial campaign should communicate with Miss Elliott, home demonstration agent, so that the milk and cod liver oil

may be provided as early as possible. The sooner the child receives this help, the better he will be able to do good work in school.

These statements were stressed Tuesday at the courthouse by several outside speakers who addressed an audience of 70 farmers from all parts of Routt County. J.L. Shields, extension economist of the Colorado Agricultural College, showed the position of the farmer in comparison to the buying power of his dollar today and the dollar of a few years ago. He explained by means of charts the production trend of commodities in relation to the price received. When the farm er gets his production down to a certain quantity, his dol lar will buy more than it does when he produces, regardless of the demand. Owing to the reduction programs carried on by the government, the farmer’s

dollar buys more this year than it did a year ago. Today it is about 24 points below the nor mal buying power; a year ago it was 54 points below, Shields said.

Joke of the week Mahatma Gandhi walked barefoot everywhere, to the point that his feet became quite thick and hard. He was also a very spiritual person. Even

when he was not on a hunger strike, he did not eat much and became quite thin and frail. Furthermore, because of his diet, he wound up with very bad breath. Therefore: he came to be known as a “supercalloused fragile mystic plagued with halitosis.”

Bake cheesecake in water bath for gentle, moist cooking Puck continued from 3D runs down the sides of the dessert after unmolding. So that’s what David Duchovny and I proceeded to do. I must admit that, at times, preparing this cheesecake with him felt more like an investigation into paranormal phenomena. But logic prevailed, especially the few tips I want to share with you. First, be sure to use a heavy pan for making the caramel. Clip to its side a candy thermometer that will help you judge the moment the caramel is done, so it won’t overcook and burn, turning bitter. And always be especially careful when handling hot syrups, which can spatter and cause injury. And bake the cheesecake in a water bath, the easy preparation of which I describe in the recipe. This provides an especially gentle, moist cooking environment,

which will help your pumpkin cheesecake cook evenly to a smooth, tender consistency. One of the many great things about this dessert is that it works even better if you make it a day or two ahead, keeping it covered in the refrigerator. That time lets the cheesecake firm up a bit more and allows the caramel to melt, resulting in even easier unmolding.

Upside-down pumpkin caramel cheesecake Serves 8 to 10 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1-1/2 pounds organic cream cheese, at room temperature 1/2 cup light brown sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest 5 large cage-free eggs, at room temperature 1 can (15 ounces) organic pumpkin puree

1/2 cup organic sour cream Lightly whipped cream, for garnish Put the water, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and lemon juice in small, heavy saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. When the mixture begins to simmer, continue cooking undisturbed until it turns a caramel-brown color and reaches about 340 degrees F. on a candy thermometer. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and pour the mixture into a 9-inch (22.5cm) round cake pan, swirling the pan to coat its bottom and sides with the caramel. Set aside to cool. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Bring a kettle of water to a boil. In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large mixing bowl, put the cream cheese. With the paddle attachment of the stand mixer, or with a hand-held electric mixer, beat the cream cheese on low speed until smooth. Add the remaining granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger and orange zest; continue beating on low speed until smooth, about 2 minutes longer. One at a time, beat in the eggs until thoroughly blended, stopping after each addition to scrape down the side

of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the pumpkin, beating it in until thoroughly combined, and then scrape down the bowl again. Finally, add the sour cream, beat it in until smooth, and scrape down the bowl. With the help of the spatula, transfer the mixture into the caramel-coated pan. Place the pan inside a larger roasting pan. Pull out the middle shelf of the oven and place the roasting pan on the shelf. Carefully pour boiling water into the roasting pan until it comes about halfway up the side of the cake pan, forming a water bath. Very carefully slide the oven shelf into the oven and bake until the cheesecake is slightly firm to a light touch, about 1 hour. Carefully remove the roasting pan from the oven and lift out the cake pan. Leave at room temperature to cool for about 1 hour. Then, cover loosely and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or as many as two days. To unmold the cheesecake, invert a flat 12-inch plate or platter over the pan. Firmly hold the pan and plate together and invert them. Then, carefully lift off the pan. Serve cut into wedges, garnished with whipped cream.
