Free lunches on the rise Steamboat Springs School District sees increase of nearly 36 percent Jack Weinstein

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

More K-12 students are getting free lunches this school year in Steamboat Springs. The number of Steamboat Springs School District students signed up to receive free lunches as part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National School Lunch Program increased near-

Death policy could change County agencies may discuss autopsies Zach Fridell

Under a mandate from the 14th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, any time a person dies alone, the Routt County coroner must perform an autopsy. Although autopsies are required by state law any time the cause of death is unknown, Coroner Rob Ryg said using a “common sense” approach would Ryg save the county about $10,000 per year. During a Nov. 2 meeting with District Attorney Elizabeth Oldham and the Routt County Board of Commissioners, Ryg said that in many cases of an unattended death, an autopsy is not necessary. When a person dies, the coroner uses evidence from the scene, reports from people in the area and information from the deceased’s doctor to figure out why and how the person died. Under direction from a former district attorney, all unattended deaths, even those with clear causes, were required to have an autopsy. Oldham said her office does not require autopsies on all unattended deaths in Moffat and Grand counties, which also are within the judicial district. She said she was unsure why the policy was created but that she is willing to discuss the policy with Ryg and law enforcement representatives. In the case of older people who are not in hospice care, the person’s doctor usually knows what medical conditions likely caused the person to die, Ryg said. “Ninety-nine percent of the time they’ll say, ‘Yeah, we’ll sign See Autopsy, page 7A Page designed by nicole miller

ly 36 percent this school year compared with 2008-09. That followed a nearly 24 percent increase from 2007-08 to 200809. Numbers have decreased slightly in Hayden and South Routt. The program allows students whose families meet income thresholds to get lunches for free or at a reduced cost. School

districts are reimbursed monthly for each lunch they provide at no cost or a discount. As of the Oct. 1 student count, which determines the amount of per-pupil funding the district receives from the state, 156 Steamboat students were enrolled to receive free lunches. That’s just more than 7 percent of the district’s 2,172 students — a number that includes North Routt

Community Charter School. Last school year, 115 students were signed up to receive free lunches. The year before that, 93 students were enrolled. Superintendent Shalee Cun ningham said she suspected the increase was a result of the down economy. “I think a lot of people had jobs a couple years ago or last See Lunch, page 8A

Changing the guard Antonucci, Ivancie reflect on years of City Council service

fter a certain number of years, the debates, disagreements, failures and achievements all seem to blend together. At least that’s the way it seems to be for Steve Ivancie and Loui Antonucci, who will take a combined 20 years of Steamboat Springs City Council expeStory by rience away from Mike Lawrence Centennial Hall when they step down Tuesday night. The two were often on different sides of council issues — affordable housing, the pace and scope of growth and the ban on smoking in public places, for example — but as they sat with city staff in Centennial Hall on Thursday, the talk quickly turned to fond reminiscing, rather than bitter rehashing, of old times and old battles that already seemed like water under the bridge. City staff and administrators were quick to praise the dedication of Ivancie and Antonucci, who have served on City Council since 2001. Antonucci also served from 1989 to 1993. “They stayed true to their platform discussions,” said Chris Wilson, director of the city’s Parks, Open Space and Recreational Services Department, citing the pair’s long-term commitment to fostering local recreation. “They really stepped up their game from the start. We’re really going to miss these two guys.”

Longtime City Council members Steve Ivancie, left, and Loui Antonucci will step down from the job Tuesday. The two have served a combined 20 years on council.

Deputy City Manager Wendy DuBord has served as interim city manager twice in the past eight years, during Antonucci’s and Ivancie’s council service. She cited Ivancie’s effort to secure energy impact grants for the city, traveling to meetings across Northwest Colorado and beyond

to get state funding for the city’s Public Works Department, the new Steamboat Springs Community Center and more. “Steve was always great at pitching the case,” DuBord said. She praised Antonucci’s ability to run an efficient, organized meeting as

council president and said most residents don’t realize how much preparation occurs outside Centennial Hall. “They have no idea how many hours you guys spend in meetings that aren’t part of City Council,” DuBord said. See Council, page 7A

Fortress reports $190M net loss in 3rd quarter Fortress Investment Group reported a $190 million net loss for the third quarter of 2009, which ended Sept. 30. The figure follows a loss of $171 million in this year’s second quarter, which ended June 30. Fortress reported a net loss of $250 million in the second quarter of 2008. Fortress released its financial report Friday. The private-equity and hedge fund manager is the parent company of Intrawest, which is the parent company of Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. Some Fortress funds are invested in development at the base of Mount Werner in Steamboat Springs. The company reported that its net loss attributable to shareholders was $59 million, or 43 cents per share. That compares with a loss of 66 cents per share in the third quarter of 2008.

New owner, same Slopeside Steamboat resident Bill Banks plans to maintain feel of ski base restaurant

he new owner of Slopeside Grill said last week that he intends to maintain the feel, menu and operation of the popular restaurant at the base of Steamboat Ski Area. Steamboat Springs Story by resident Bill Mike Lawrence Banks, 56, closed on the purchase of the Slopeside real estate and business last week. The price of the business was not disclosed. Jim Cook, of Colorado Group Realty, said the real estate was split into two halves, one owned by the family of former Slopeside owner Chris Corna and the other owned by the Levy family. The Corna portion of the real estate sold for $675,000 and the Levy portion for $750,000, Cook said. The restaurant passed into Chris Corna’s parents’ hands when he died May 18 in Port Chester, N.Y. Cook said he had about 40 inquiries regarding a Slopeside purchase and that about 10 of those became serious potential buyers. Cook said Corna’s parents were comfortable in selecting Banks as the new owner and thought he was the best fit for the bar and restaurant in Torian Plum Plaza. Sitting in the sun on the restaurant’s patio Thursday, Banks already seemed a natural part of the restaurant’s outdoorsy ambience. Retired from working in his family’s Banks Corp., a forestry products and lumber company, the silver-haired

Bill Banks is the new owner of Slopeside Grill. Jim Cook, of Colorado Group Realty, said there were about 40 inquiries regarding the purchase of the restaurant.

Banks wore designer sunglasses, jeans and a checked, collared shirt as he tossed a tennis ball to his fox Labrador, Gabby. He recalled skiing Steamboat in the early ’70s with his girlfriend Leslie, now his wife of 35 years. They have a home in Florida, with two children and grandchildren scattered across the country. They bought a home in

Steamboat about three years ago, after frequent trips to ski, fly fish and visit made them realize, Banks said, that looking at rentals no longer made sense. “My first two Winter Carnivals were in Steamboat,” Banks said. “We always liked coming back because of the way the community felt. … It’s all about children and young

people and family.” Banks said that’s the feel he wants to keep at Slopeside, where he’s familiar with “a crowd of all ages” relaxing after a day on Mount Werner. “Being a skier and visitor to this community over the years, many times I’ve sat out here on the beachfront, listening to music and visiting with friends,” he said. “It’s a special place.”

Banks said he’s already begun or completed several interior improvements to the restaurant, including new hotwater boilers, a redone electrical system and new equipment for the kitchen. “There was some equipment that needed to be upgraded,” he said. See Slopeside, page 7A

You’re a guy. You’ve got a special event coming up — a friend’s wedding, a nice date, a business mixer. You look into your closet and see, to your dismay, nothing but drab. That’s when Steve and Denise Hitchcock hope you’ll think of Zirkel Trading, their upscale men’s clothing store in the Howelsen Place development, on Seventh Street next to Urbane. “I think most guys have a couple of shirts in their closet that are their go-to shirts,” Steve Hitchcock said last week. He said Zirkel Trading is targeted toward men looking to dress for a special occasion, or men who prefer to dress a little above the norm on a daily basis. It’s a field he knows well. Hitchcock, also the owner of Soda Creek Pizza, has more than 20 years’ experience in the apparel industry, including high-level positions at Patagonia and Marmot. He and his wife opened Zirkel Trading about a year ago to meet what they thought was an unmet need. “We didn’t think there was a place for men to shop in Steamboat,” Denise Hitchcock said. So the Hitchcocks set out to fill their store with high-quality brands produced by small, personal companies — known for having somebody’s name, rather than a slogan — including Scott Barber, Tori Richard, Nat Nast and Jhane Barnes. “I like that relationship with a person,” Steve Hitchcock said about the brand choices. “And it’s not that common in the apparel industry anymore.” He acknowledged that the

personal touch brings a higherthan-average cost to some items at Zirkel Trading. A Filson flannel shirt, for example, is on display for $80. But Steve Hitchcock said those flannel shirts were some of his top sellers. “In a 2,000-square-foot store, you can’t be all things to all people,” he said. “If you buy a piece of Filson outerwear and you wear it for 10 to 20 years, and you enjoy it, who cares what you paid for it? Are you going to remember the price?” Steve and Denise Hitchcock said the recession, and downtown construction this fall, has made it a challenging time to sell customers on the idea of buying special-occasion clothing. “I think everybody is aware that it’s a tough year to open a new business,” Steve said, before

Jump right in, City Council

Thomas L. Friedman The New York Times

new Steamboat Springs City Council will be sworn in Tuesday night at Centennial Hall, and once the mostly ceremonial first meeting is complete, council members quickly will be immersed in a number of important and timely city issues. Only two new members join at issue the seven-member council, and City Council one of them — Jim Engelken priorities — immediately will become the council member with the most our view experience, having served from 1995 to 2001. Kenny Reisman is With election a political newcomer, and the two settled, new other seats up for election this fall council must were won by incumbents — Cari quickly turn Hermacinski defeated Kevin attention to Bennett, and Walter Magill ran pressing city unopposed to retain his seat. But where this council might issues. feel the biggest impact from the election is with whom it lost, not gained. Veteran councilmen Loui Antonucci and Steve Ivancie brought professionalism, intelligence and institutional knowledge to the city and council. They deserve recognition and thanks from the community they so dutifully served, and we hope the new council inherits some of their best attributes. Regardless of who is elected City Council president Tuesday, we urge him or her to continue outgoing president Antonucci’s knack for running efficient, manageable meetings. Three meetings a month is a number worth sticking to. We also expect this new council’s first priority to be, well, settling on its priorities. Past councils typically have held one- or two-day retreats to set an agenda for the ensuing two years, and this council would be wise to follow suit. Indeed, one of the discussion items on Tuesday’s council agenda involves a retreat and new council orientation. That retreat will be an important opportunity for the new council to decide which issues it will focus on during the next two years. There is no shortage of options. At the top of that list is continuing to manage the city through a difficult economic period. The city is forecasting a 10 percent decrease in 2010 sales tax revenue, and that’s in addition to the 18 percent decrease expected throughout this year. The new council’s first and most important task will be final adoption of the 2010 city budget. Draft versions of that budget propose a continuation of the employee furloughs and hiring freezes. Other cost-saving measures could include revised snowplow schedules, reductions in firefighter training and increases in Howelsen Hill Ski Area lift ticket prices. The city plans to cut back significantly on capital projects in 2010, and city officials are wary that additional cuts could become necessary depending on actual revenues. Given the budget cuts and struggling economy, will this council find ways to propel Steamboat forward despite the dire circumstances? Some council members already have discussed analyzing city policies as they relate to business to ensure that we are not impeding economic growth. Managing growth will continue to be a major council issue in the coming years. Regardless of the outcome of a petition drive to put the annexation of Steamboat 700 to a citywide vote, the council must decide how best to manage the redevelopment of Ski Time Square, including The Atira Group’s request for 10-year vesting of its development plans and what to do with the empty parcel until such redevelopment starts. The annexation process of 360 Village also looms large on the horizon. Issues of affordable and attainable housing will manifest themselves in the forms of a revised Community Housing Ordinance and the city’s relationship with the Yampa Valley Housing Authority. Is this council the one that will finally give the Housing Authority the power and money to leverage affordable housing funds into affordable housing projects? These are, of course, just a few of the many issues facing our city and its residents. There is much work to be done, and we hope this new group of seven approaches its difficult job with enthusiasm, professionalism and an ever-present goal of working with the best interests of the city at heart.

letters to the editor Issue affects us all I would like for someone to explain why the election for the annexation of the Steamboat 700 should not be a countywide election. If approved, the subdivision will impact everyone in Routt County from the Eagle County line to the Moffat County line. The people who purchase property out there will be using all the county roads to go to Steamboat Lake and to Stagecoach and Elkhead reservoirs. They will impact our hospital and our schools. Even though they say they will build new schools, there will still be an impact on all our amenities. If they do everything they say they will do, there is no way the residences out there will be affordable to the average worker in Routt County. There is no such thing as affordable housing now, and I doubt if there ever will be. That’s the reason there are so many workers driving from Craig each day. I definitely think this issue should be brought to a vote, and not just a vote of the voters of Steamboat Springs. It should be voted on by all voters in Routt County.

Watershed issues It troubles me that Steamboat’s discussions and solutions about growth do not include real discussions about watershed sustainability. This is an era where municipalities and counties across the country are making important decisions based on the sustainability of their watersheds. Mountain towns are not exempt from these concerns and realities, and watershed “thinking” is not a novel idea. Understanding the dynamics of the developing West and the resultant politics, John Wesley Powell advocated for watershed management when he surveyed the West in the late 1800s. For the Yampa Valley, growth is the quintessential issue that will impact the sustainability of our watershed. We need to conduct studies on how much water is available for growth; how many people can the water in our watershed support?

We have a responsibility to do these assessments and find ways to work, live and grow together in light of the results that does not jeopardize anyone’s livelihoods or the landscapes that keep us here. These are tricky times and tricky questions, but beating the same dead horse with the same old stick isn’t offering solutions that are compatible with contemporary realities, and the divisiveness is not healthy for the community. Let’s be creative, honest and collective in our discussions and realize that we are all in this together.

Countywide vote I am one of the petition circulators and sponsors of the referendum vote on the Steamboat 700 annexation and proudly so. I have unknowingly asked several county residents to sign the petition. All responded that they would gladly do so, but that they lived in the county and couldn’t. Their common complaint was that they had as big a stake in the annexation as city residents. They were confronted with the same potential traffic glut and other adversities as city residents, for instance. I suggest that the Routt County Board of Commissioners and the new Steamboat Springs City Council get together and work out a cooperative system for all county residents to be entitled to vote in future referendums or similar issues that affect both.

Learn, Think, Vote For the Let’s Vote committee, it’s all about the democratic process. When a citizen or group of citizens feels the majority of the voters disagree with a decision made by City Council, it’s that group’s right and duty to be the check and balance for council and to question the council’s actions. Many of the individuals who don’t think the issue should go up for a vote seem to be saying, “This is why we elect City

Council, to make these decisions.” To these folks, I ask a simple question: Who provides the checks and balances for City Council? The answer is “you do.” Is any person or group of persons right 100 percent of the time? Does there need to be a mechanism that allows the pubic to question decisions the council has made? Of course there does. Keep in mind that annexations are one of the few decisions council makes that are irreversible. Annexations are forever. Over the next three months you will be inundated with local media on this involved and complicated issue. We ask you to avoid the chatter and take a hard look at the issue and make the decision you think is best for Steamboat today and 20 years from today. We ask this because the only chance you have to influence the future of Steamboat is right now. Feel free to contact our organization at letsvoteboat@yahoo. com if you want to be involved. Stay tuned as our organization will do our best to give you the public perspective on the issues surrounding 700. Let’s Vote has developed a slogan: Learn, Think and Vote. Please take the time to apply our slogan to this important issue.

Keep momentum As we look to the skies for snow and reluctantly put away our bikes for winter (most of us), it’s a good opportunity to look back and recognize the significance of developments in local cycling as we contemplate new opportunities. We are very grateful to the Steamboat Pilot & Today for exceptional coverage of bicycle events and issues in our community. Last Sunday’s Our View editorial “Pedal to assist cyclingrelated tourism” capped a great year for Routt County Riders, our community biking group. 2009 Highlights include: ■ Annual Bike Swap where over 60 bikes changed hands ■ Bike to Work Week with daily events promoting biking See Letters, page 5A

The Israeli-Palestinian peace process has become a bad play. It is obvious that all the parties are just acting out the same old scenes, with the same old tired clichés — and that no one believes any of it anymore. There is no romance, no sex, no excitement, no urgency — not even a sense of importance anymore. The only thing driving the peace process today Friedman is inertia and diplomatic habit. Yes, the IsraeliPalestinian peace process has left the realm of diplomacy. It is now more of a callisthenic, like weight-lifting or sit-ups, something diplomats do to stay in shape, but not because they believe anything is going to happen. And yet, as much as we, the audience, know this to be true, we can never quite abandon hope for peace in the Holy Land. It is our habit. Indeed, as I ranted about this to a Jordanian friend the other day, he said it all reminded him of an old story. “These two guys are watching a cowboy and Indian movie. And in the opening scene, an Indian is hiding behind a rock about to ambush the handsome cowboy,” he explained. “‘I bet that Indian is going to kill that cowboy,’ one guy says to the other. ‘Never happen,’ his friend answers. ‘The cowboy is not going to be killed in the opening scene.’ ‘I’ll bet you $10 he gets killed,’ the guy says. ‘I’ll take that bet,’ says his friend. “Sure enough, a few minutes later, the cowboy is killed, and the friend pays the $10. After the movie is over, the guy says to his friend, ‘Look, I have to give you back your $10. I’d actually seen this movie before. I knew what was going to happen.’ His friend answers: ‘No, you can keep the $10. I’d seen the movie, too. I just thought it would end differently this time.’” This peace process movie is not going to end differently just because we keep playing the same reel. It is time for a radically new approach. And I mean radical. I mean something no U.S. administration has ever dared to do: Take down our “PeaceProcessing-Is-Us” sign and just go home. Right now we want it more than the parties. They all have other priorities today. And by constantly injecting ourselves, we’ve become their Novocain. We relieve all the political pain from the Arab and Israeli decision-makers by creating the impression in the minds of their publics that something serious is happening. “Look, the U.S. secretary of state is here. Look, she’s standing by my side. Look, I’m doing something important! Take our picture. Put it on the news. We’re on the verge of something really big, and I am indispensable to it.” This enables the respective See Friedman, page 5A

leaders to continue with their real priorities — which are all about holding power or pursuing ideological obsessions — while pretending to advance peace, without paying any political price. Let’s just get out of the picture. Let all these leaders stand in front of their own people and tell them the truth: “My fellow citizens: Nothing is happening; nothing is going to happen. It’s just you and me and the problem we own.” Indeed, it’s time for us to dust off James Baker’s line: “When you’re serious, give us a call: 202-456-1414. Ask for Barack. Otherwise, stay out of our lives. We have our own

country to fix.” The fact is, the only time America has been able to advance peace — post-Yom Kippur War, Camp David, post-Lebanon war, Madrid and Oslo — has been when the parties felt enough pain for different reasons that they invited our diplomacy, and we had statesmen — Henry Kissinger, Jimmy Carter, George Shultz, James Baker and Bill Clinton — savvy enough to seize those moments. Today, the Arabs, Israel and the Palestinians are clearly not feeling enough pain to do anything hard for peace with each other — a mood best summed up by a phrase making the rounds at the State Department: The Palestinian

leadership “wants a deal with Israel without any negotiations” and Israel’s leadership “wants negotiations with the Palestinians without any deal.” It is obvious that this Israeli government thinks it can have peace with the Palestinians and keep the West Bank, this Palestinian Authority still can’t decide whether to reconcile with the Jewish state or criminalize it, and this Hamas leadership would rather let Palestinians live forever in the hellish squalor that is Gaza than give up its crazy fantasy of an Islamic Republic in Palestine.

Longtime Steamboat Springs resident Shirley Combs died Oct. 16 after a short bout of pneumonia at the Evergreen Nursing Home in Bremerton, Wash., where her daughter, Linda Flood, worked as a physical therapist. Shirley was 84 years old. Born in Steamboat on Sept. 23, 1925, Shirley lived her life as a member of two of the oldest Routt County families. Her grandparents moved to Steamboat from Leadville and homesteaded near the confluence of Servis Creek and the Yampa River shortly after 1900. She attended grade school in Oak Creek until her father, Wesley Poulson, moved to Steamboat where he served for nearly 30 years as the Routt County treasurer. The family lived on Woodchuck Hill just below the present site of Colorado Mountain College’s Alpine Campus, in the second home built by Steamboat founder John Crawford. Shirley attended Steamboat

Combs

Springs High School where she was a cheerleader and began dating her future husband, Donald Combs, whose family also moved to Steamboat

before 1910. Donald and Shirley attended Denver University, where Shirley studied business and Don attended on an athletic scholarship, playing basketball and football. A case of meningitis for Don cut short their college studies, and the newlyweds came back to Steamboat to raise their three children. Shirley was active in the community. She belonged to the Ladies Recreation Club, the local square-dancing group, taught Sunday school at the Methodist Church for more than 20 years and served as the first secretary of the church. She worked for many years in the Routt County

Clerk’s office where she served as deputy clerk under Eunice Dorr. For health reasons, she and Don reluctantly moved to Naples, Fla., several years ago. After Don died, Shirley moved to Washington and lived with Linda until entering the nursing home several months ago. Shirley is survived by daughters Donna Watkins, of Golden, and Linda Flood, of Bremerton, Wash.; her son, David Combs, of Steamboat; seven grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by both of her parents; her brother, Wesley Jr.; and her sister, Barbara Bostock. Shirley’s funeral will be held at noon Nov. 22 at the United Methodist Church in Steamboat. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Shirley’s name to Hospice of Northwest Colorado, 940 Central Park Drive, Suite 100, Steamboat Springs, CO 80487.

martin eugene bugg 1967-2009

Martin Eugene Bugg was born May 16, 1967, to Hilliard L. Bugg and Mary Ann (Helm) Bugg in Lincoln Park, Mich. The family moved back to Steamboat Springs in 1970. In 1978, Martin’s mother married Arnold “Sonny” Lieske. They lived on a ranch four miles south of Milner where Martin learned to be a ranch kid. He milked cows, learned to drive tractors, helped build and fix fences, stacked hay and learned to work on equipment and vehicles. He always followed Sonny around, helping or learning. He would visit Floyd Mosher’s to see if he could help him, and one time a mother cow protecting her calf chased him away. He didn’t know he could run so fast. When he was in high school, Martin wanted a car, so he got a job at the co-op in Steamboat and seeded some ground for Bob Liddle. Martin took the money and bought a 1958 blue Volkswagen Bug. He soon learned how to fix and repair anything that went wrong, and he no longer rode the bus. He shot his first elk when he was 17 years old with a .30-30 rifle. When he turned 30, he got his grandfather’s hunting rifle. Martin graduated from Steamboat Springs High School in 1986 and later traveled to Escondido, Calif., with some school friends where he did concrete work. He then spent two summers in Togiak, Alaska, working at fish canneries, fishing and learning to navigate the boat. He returned home in the fall of 1989. In February 1990, Martin met Leslie Marie Fry and was in love at first sight. They were joined at the hip from then on. On March 22, 1992, they were married. In 1995, they moved from Hayden to Illinois, and after a year they moved back to Hayden where they have lived since. Martin worked at Mountain Resorts for 17 years, Fox Construction, A-1 Plumbing

Antonucci, Ivancie say a return to public service possible Council continued from 1A Ivancie speculated that the dedication and willingness to work could, for both of them, have been born while making it through tough times in Steamboat decades ago. “Those of us who have lived here for 10, 20, 30 years know what it takes,” Ivancie said. “If you didn’t have three jobs, you were unemployed.” Antonucci came to Steam boat in about 1974. Ivancie arrived around 1980. The two remember working all kinds of odd jobs. Ivancie delivered pizzas and surveyed with Skidge Moon before, eventually, becoming a project manager for Jake’s Drafting. Antonucci began his Steamboat career at Storm Meadows Condominiums be fore, eventually, owning and then selling the Old Town Pub and moving into construction and real estate. Throughout those years, they’ve seen familiar civic issues come up time and again.

Antonucci lost a re-election bid in 1993 because, he said when campaigning in 2001, he was unfairly characterized as “pro-growth.” When Ivancie campaigned against Kathi Meyer for the at-large seat in 2001, a race he won by just 45 votes, Ivancie said he wanted to model himself after an outgoing councilman who strongly supported affordable housing and protecting the interests of working-class residents. That councilman was Jim Engelken, who served on City Council from 1995 to 2001 and will be sworn in for another tour of duty Tuesday. Ivancie said Engelken “will be very well suited” to the role of council historian — someone who can frame issues in the perspective of previous City Council debates and decisions. “I don’t know how many times we’re faced with an issue we’re revisiting from the past,” Ivancie said, citing expansions of the urban growth boundary and regulations for vacation

home rentals as examples. At one point Thursday, An tonucci referred to the incoming council as “those kids — I mean, council members.” But he and Ivancie expressed confidence in the group to be sworn in Tuesday, the majority of which began serving on the council after the 2007 election that saw five new members win seats. “I have no qualms about their experience and their ability to step up and handle a very challenging economic situation,” Ivancie said, referring to ongoing city budget cuts and plummeting sales tax revenues. As to their own futures, both left the door open to returning to public service. Antonucci said “maybe” to the possibility of a future campaign, such as a return to City Council when the city’s charter allows. “Right now, I don’t have any plans to do that,” Antonucci said. “I honestly think the new

blood on council is needed and is good for the community.” Ivancie made a more certain statement about his plans looking forward. “You hate to see the experience and skills you’ve developed atrophy. I certainly would be open to public service in the future,” Ivancie said. “I’m drawn to it, and I enjoy it — I’ll be looking at opportunities.” When asked to elaborate, Ivancie said one possibility is the state House District 57 seat held by Republican Randy Baumgardner, a Grand County rancher. That seat is up for election in 2010.

Former Levelz owner to manage Slopeside Slopeside continued from 3A He’s keeping as much as he can of Slopeside’s staff, as well. Former General Manager Camille Flynn left of her own volition, and Banks has hired Chad Gagliano, former owner of the former Ski Time Square bar and music venue Levelz, to manage Slopeside. “It was important to me to have someone from the local community to manage the restaurant,” Banks said, adding that the hire helps show his intent “to operate Slopeside as it has been operated in the past.” He said he’s leaving the menu as it is and may add seasonal specials down the road. After this ski season, Banks said,

he might extend the outdoor seating area by putting in new bricks, with heating beneath, to increase accessibility and provide a contrast with the planned public promenade at the ski base. That project is contingent on approval from the Torian Plum homeowners association, a group that Banks said has been good to work with so far. And yes, Banks said, he’s keeping Slopeside’s popular ice bar, a winter fixture for après ski. But you won’t see Banks behind a Slopeside bar — the staff told him he would just slow them down. “I’ve been given the ambassador job,” Banks said. The transition so far has been smooth, he said.

Yacht Club sale closes Jim Cook, of Colorado Group Realty, confirmed last week that Dan and Kim Haggarty have closed on their purchase of the Yacht Club restaurant on Yampa Street. “They are going to gut the building and make it a more friendly environment so that the space opens out onto the deck,” Cook wrote in an e-mail. “Because they will ultimately lose part of the deck with the new development, we were able to get an approval to add a deck on top of the back dining room.” The sale price was not disclosed.

“I’m thrilled,” he said. “Everybody has made me feel at home and welcome.” — To reach Mike Lawrence, call 871-4233 or e-mail mlawrence@steamboatpilot.com

Zirkel owners gear up for winter shopping inventory to find the right blend of products. They’ve added — and had success with — items including cufflinks, ties, sport coats, reading glasses, wallets and gloves. But they’re not quite ready to add women’s apparel, Denise Hitchcock said. “It’s a possibility,” she said. “It would require a couple extra trade shows for us.

The unemployment rate hit 10.2 percent in October. All told, 15.7 million Americans are out of work. Add in workers forced to settle for part-time work or those who have simply given up looking, and the rate is 17.5 percent. Only twice since World War II has unemployment topped 10 percent — now and from September 1982 to June 1983. In a few respects, life is better today for the unemployed than it was then. Unemployment benefits are more generous, adjusted for inflation, and the Internet allows jobseekers to network, scan for openings and apply without leaving home. And thanks in part to higher home values, Americans are worth more now. Measured in 2009 dollars, net worth comes to about $173,000 per person, compared with $94,000 in 1982, according to Lynn Reaser, president of the National Association for Business Economics. Even if the average American has a larger cushion to fall back on, times are tough. A much larger share of jobs these days — more than four

out of five — are in the service sector, such as tax preparers, hair stylists and retail clerks. Those jobs generally pay less and offer fewer benefits than blue-collar manufacturing work. Manufacturing, which typically offers more generous benefits, accounts for less than 9 percent of payrolls today — down from 19 percent in 1982. Back then, the United Auto Workers persuaded the Big Three auto companies to pay up to 95 percent of the gap between a laid-off worker’s unemployment benefits and what he or she made on the job. But since the decline of the size and influence of unions, “that would be inconceivable today,” says University of Illinois professor Michael LeRoy, who studies unions. Unemployment also squeezes families tighter these days because they are less conservative about how they spend and save. People carry an average of about $46,000 in debt — mortgages, credit cards, auto loans and other consumer debt. That’s a far bigger load than in 1982, when per capita debt totaled about $14,000 in today’s dollars.

after the first day of school each year. “We encourage parents to fill out the paperwork because they benefit, as well as the district,” said Jnl Linsacum, Hayden School District’s business manager.

Negative connotation The number of students signed up for the free and reduced lunch program is down slightly in Hayden and South Routt school districts. Hayden Superintendent Greg Rockhold said he thought the drop in students signed up to receive free lunches — 90 this year compared with 93 in 2008-09 — was a reflection of enrollment dropping this year. The district has 27 fewer students than last school year. But Hayden saw a 60 percent jump in the free lunch program from 2007-08 to 2008-09, from 58 students to 93 students. Rockhold also offered a different lunch trend. “We do see the number of students eating in our cafeterias keep climbing in each passing week,” he said. “I believe that goes to the quality of food (Food Service Director) Steve Carlson and (his staff) are putting out.” He said there also has been an increase in the number of high school students who eat lunch at school. High school students can go home for lunch. The number of students in the free lunch program in South Routt dropped to 56 this year from 70 last year. The district’s enrollment is only down two students. Superintendent Scott Mader said he didn’t think the slightly lower enrollment affected the lunch program participation. Instead, he said there might be a stigma associated with the program. “I think oftentimes those figures are underreported by families who don’t want it out there,” Mader said and added that he thinks the figures are generally underreported. “I think there’s maybe a certain amount of embarrassment they feel, and they shouldn’t.” Mader said people might not want to ask for help, especially in rural areas, where people are self-reliant and have an “I can get through this” mentality. Mader said he’s even seen situations where an elementary student was enrolled to receive a free or reduced-cost lunch, but a sibling in high school would not be signed up. To prevent any negative connotation for being enrolled in the program, Steamboat Nutrition Director Max Huppert said students punch in a number or swipe their lunch card into the district’s computer system. It recognizes whether the student is paying full price for the lunch or receives a free or reduced lunch. “Parents should definitely take advantage of it,” Huppert said. “It’s completely confidential. No one can know except me or my staff when the children come through.” — To reach Jack Weinstein, call 871-4203 or e-mail jweinstein@steamboatpilot.com

Man who threatened Obama pleads guilty DENVER

A man who threatened to kill President Barack Obama just before the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver pleaded guilty Friday to federal weapons charges. Shawn Adolf, 35, faces 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to having firearms as a felon. Adolf was arrested in August of last year after officers in a Denver suburb pulled over his cousin and found rifles, a bul letproof vest, wigs and fake IDs. The stop led agents to Adolf, who talked about plans to kill Obama with the rifle. Authorities later determined the men were addled by drugs and had no specific plans to assassi nate Obama. U.S. Attorney Troy Eid said the threats were the rac ist rantings of “methheads.”

require most Americans to carry insurance and provide federal subsidies to those who otherwise could not afford it. Large companies would have to offer coverage to their employees. Both consum ers and companies would be slapped with penalties if they defied the government’s man dates. Insurance industry practic es such as denying coverage on the basis of pre-existing medical conditions would be banned, and insurers would no longer be able to charge higher premiums on the basis of gender or medical history. In a further slap, the industry would lose its exemption from federal antitrust restrictions on price gouging, bid rigging and market allocation.

Steamboat Springs land sales slow to a trickle Just 14 land sales have been closed in Steamboat Springs and the South Valley in the past 12 months, said Doug Labor, of Buyers Resource Real Estate. Labor is the official statistician for the Steamboat Springs Board of Realtors. His figures do not include land sales that were not listed by a Realtor participating in the Steamboat Springs MLS, and thus are likely not complete. Labor’s research includes November and December 2008 and the first 10 months of 2009. During that time, there were 218 vacant parcels and building lots listed. Of the 14 land transactions in Steamboat and the South Valley, half were valued at $1 million or more. The other half were for $600,000 or less. There were no sales between $600,000 and $1 million, where there were 80 properties listed.

Wildhorse gondola goes vertical 4 suits for condo sales pending

he gondola towers rising from Wildhorse Meadows are tangible evidence of the steady progress being made at Wildhorse despite the down economy. But closings on 30-plus condominiums Story by at Trailhead Tom Ross Lodge can be expected to continue at a gradual pace for months to come, and company officials acknowledge that four lawsuits for Trailhead contracts are pending in federal court in Denver. Kerry Shea, Resort Ventures West director of sales and marketing, said this week that officials of Leitner-Poma in Grand Junction expect to be done with their portion of the Wildhorse gondola construction this year, and the goal remains to open the gondola to the public in February 2010. “Leitner-Poma expects to be done with its portion of the work by the end of the year, but we’ll still have all of the certification and testing to do,” Shea said. “If we can open it to the public sooner, we will, but it looks like we’re on track for February.” Wildhorse Principal and Chief Financial Officer Brent Pearson confirmed this week that 20 condominiums at Trailhead have closed. Although the growing list of closings builds confidence among contracted buyers, he said, and the completion of the gondola should boost that confidence to a new level, he acknowledged that he expects more than half of the original 63 contracted buyers to close on their units. He said financing each sale and closing it

requires working one-on-one with buyers. “We have two more closings scheduled within the next three days,” Pearson said. “We’re going one by one. Past are the days when you’d close 10 a week. We’d need a staff of 15 to maintain that pace. “We won’t close all 63 contracts. Some of our buyers have gone into partnerships on a single unit (reducing the overall number of sales), and we’ve had a couple of buyers affected by serious health issues. We’ll be somewhere above 50 percent of the original contracts.” Pearson said there are four lawsuits for Trailhead contracts pending in U.S. District Court in Denver. Two of the suits involve Trailhead Lodge LLC as the plaintiff seeking specific performance of the contracts and compelling buyers to close, Pearson said. Trailhead Lodge LLC/RP Steamboat Springs LLC is the defendant in two suits in which contracted buyers are seeking to have their contracts voided under terms of the federal Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act. Documents on file in federal court show that one of the suits against RP Steamboat Springs was filed by a Dallas woman, Judy C. Odom, about the sale of a condominium originally See Gondola, page 2B

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The key to selling residential properties in Steamboat Springs through the first three quarters of 2009 has been an ability to come within 10 percent of hitting the bull’s-eye. Broker/owner Lori Thom pson told a gathering of nearly 200 people at the Colorado Group Realty Real Estate Roundup and Expo on Thursday night that sales of

single-family homes, condominiums and townhomes closed through the Multiple Listing Service this year have been for an amount within 10 percent of list price. “Homes need to be properly priced to sell in this market,” Thompson said. She is the outgoing president of the Steamboat Springs Board of Realtors and the 2009 Realtor of the year. In the case of single-family homes, Thompson said, sales prices have on average been 92

percent of list price. And sellers have been loath to accept low offers — the lowest offer accepted was 80 percent of list price. A similar trend can be observed among the 88 sales (when sales of new projects are excluded) of townhomes and condominiums, Thompson told her audience. Those sales averaged 90 percent of list price. Four offers were accepted in the range of 70 percent of asking TOM ROSS/STAFF price. The completed Rocky Peak Village off Hilltop Parkway notched its first sale this See Expo, page 12B

Subsidized teacher housing gets $960K Garfield County kicks in $960K for teacher housing The Aspen Times correspondent John Colson reported Nov. 3 that the Garfield County commissioners have agreed to contribute $960,000 to an effort to build subsidized teacher housing for the Roaring Fork School District. Colson wrote that the housing would be built on school district land adjacent to former school buildings in Carbondale. Excerpts from Colson’s report follow: “We have been desperate for housing at the school district for a long time,” said Roaring Fork School District Superintendent Judy Haptonstall, speaking at Monday’s county commissioners meeting. Haptonstall said the district’s high teacher turnover rate is tied to the fact that

teachers cannot afford to buy homes in Basalt, Carbondale and Glenwood and are unwilling to live long term in apartments and condominiums. The district has been working on building housing in Carbondale for several years, as part of a complicated land swap that left the town with the old Carbondale Elementary School, but the school district holding onto the land between and around CES and the historic Carbondale Union School building at the corner of Third and Sopris streets. It is on that land, which includes an athletic field, the school’s bus maintenance facility for Carbondale and a parking lot, that the district hopes to build 120 units, of which 96 are to be subsidized so that teachers and other workers can buy them. The county agreed to the district’s proposal to kick in

$10,000 per affordable unit, for a total of $960,000 spread over three phases that are expected to be built in 2010, 2011 and 2012.

Steamboat tops Intrawest resorts for guest service Speaking before the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association’s annual luncheon last week, Steamboat Ski Area President and outgoing Chamber President Chris Diamond announced that Steamboat received the “Best Service Award” in competition with all of the Intrawest resorts. The award was made on the basis of guest polling that asked: “Would you recommend this resort to a friend?” In a challenging economy, Diamond said, the perception of guest service was something he, his department leaders and employees could control.

Gondola continued from 1B marketed for $1.13 million. Another suit, involving two rural Steamboat parties, contests the sales contracts of two units. Kristine Bensler had contracted to buy three-bedroom condominium unit 5104, which originally was marketed for $1.675 million, or $1,085 per square foot. Joining her in the suit are her neighbors in Grouse Creek Park, Ann and Harold Noyes. They contracted to buy 1.5-bedroom condominium unit 5109, which was originally marketed at $875,000, or $889 per square foot. The Bensler/Noyes suit claims that the developers of

Trailhead failed to provide adequate and appropriate notification of key dates or information about completion of the condominiums as called for in the Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act. Phone calls to Bensler and the Noyeses were not returned by press time Thursday.

First Tracks notches sales While the lawsuits work their way through federal court, Wildhorse Meadows continues to see modest progress. A fourth original affordable buyer bought a modest condominium in First Tracks at Wildhorse for $187,500

Ross continued from 1B

this week. And Pearson said six more sales were pending, including some open market purchases. First Tracks is the result of the city of Steamboat Springs’ former affordable housing requirements. Now, those condominiums, which are not as luxurious as those in Trailhead, are available for purchase with no restrictions on how they appreciate. Buyers have the right to join the club allowing full access to Wildhorse amenities including the fitness club and hot pools. Pearson remains confident that as First Tracks builds up its sales résumé, more and more buyers will be attracted. “Just the fact that people are understanding that other people are closing on purchases at Trailhead has helped,” Pearson said. “As the gondola goes up, they start to realize that they will be able to leave their condo, board a gondola and walk over to the ski lifts. What I really believe is going to happen at First Tracks is that there will be an epiphany — ‘this is the best buy at the mountain’ — from my standpoint.” — To reach Tom Ross, call 871-4205 or e-mail tross@steamboatpilot.com

This revision would allow for termination of the currently approved annual revegetation monitoring program as the operator initiates statistically valid sampling within logical reclamation blocks for Phase 2 and Phase 3 bond release demonstrations of revegetation success. The Seneca II-W Mine is a surface coal mine located in Routt County, approximately 9 miles south of Hayden, Colorado. Coal interest is Federal, and the surface affected is Federal, state and private land. The permit area encompasses approximately 4,093.00 acres. This proposed decision is based on a finding that the proposed operation will comply with all requirements of the Colorado Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act, Section 34 33 101, et seq., C.R.S., and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Copies of the proposed decision, including stipulations, are on file for public inspection at the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, Room 215, Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado 80203. Persons with an interest that may be adversely affected by the proposed decision may request a formal hearing before the Mined Land Reclamation Board on the proposed decision. Such request must be made within ten (10) days of the initial publication of this notice, must be in writing, and must state with reasonable specificity the reasons for the request and the objections to the proposed decision.

Denver apartment vacancy rate falls Margaret Jackson THE DENVER POST

DENVER

The apartment-vacancy rate for metro Denver fell to 7.4 percent during the third quarter, marking the first time it has fallen in seven quarters, according to a report released Wednesday. The vacancy rate is at its lowest level since the third quarter of last year, when it was 6.5 percent, according to the survey by the Apartment Association of Metro Denver and the Department of Local Affairs Division of Housing. In general, a vacancy rate of 5 percent is considered equilibrium. A drop in the unemployment rate and continued population increases are likely contributors

to the declining vacancy rate, industry experts said. “There’s no question we’ve seen good correlations between job growth and vacancy,” said Lauren Brockman of Orion Real Estate Services. Metro Denver’s unemployment rate peaked at the end of the second quarter and slowly fell in the third quarter, said Gordon Von Stroh, a professor at the University of Denver.

Rooftop plots taking root in Japan Arata Abe

THE YOMIURI SHIMBUN

TOKYO

During his lunch breaks, Hayato Kashiwagi slips out of his office in Tokyo and heads for a nearby building where, on the rooftop three stories up, he tends a garden teeming with vegetables. As he watered the vegetables, Kashiwagi surveyed the bountiful crop. “This is an oasis that allows me to forget all about work,” the 25-year-old said. An increasing number of young Japanese workers now are finding fulfillment in growing vegetables in urban plots during their break times or on their way home. Most urban plots are on rooftops — providing office workers seeking a way to reduce the stress of everyday life with easy access to a patch of green space filled with vegetables such as eggplants, carrots and lettuce. Kashiwagi’s office is in the Kanda-Surugadai district of Tokyo’s Chiyoda Ward. Kashiwagi, an employee of an incorporated association, said he visits the nearby rooftop garden once or twice a week. The entire rooftop of the building, which is owned by Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance, is covered with soil. Since spring, Kashiwagi and his colleagues have rented the 8-square-meter space on the rooftop. They grow 10 kinds of vegetables there, including daikon radish, broad beans and Chinese cabbage. Kashiwagi said he spends his working day in front of a computer, so he enjoys taking off his jacket, rolling up his sleeves and tending to the vegetables on the rooftop. “My accumulated tiredness is wiped away up here as I water the vegetables and pull the weeds,” Kashiwagi said. Kashiwagi began growing vegetables atop the building after his boss, who had been tending a plot there, invited him to rent a plot on

colleagues. He also makes regular visits to a home center with colleagues to buy seeds. Kashiwagi said his group particularly enjoys what they have dubbed the “harvest festival” — a once-a-month gathering they hold at which they cook and eat the tasty vegetables they harvest accompanied by cold beers. Kashiwagi says he also grows vegetables such as Welsh onion and Chinese chives at home using planters. “But the vegetables grow bigger in the rooftop garden because they get a lot of sunshine. “I enjoy watching the vegetables thriving here on the rooftop,” Kashiwagi said. According to Mitsui Sumi tomo Insurance, it began leasing out areas of its rooftop for no charge in 2004. The number of applicants grew rapidly in the next two years and now all 24 lots on the rooftop are being worked. About 30 people are waiting for a chance to plant a rooftop crop, according to the company. Rooftop gardens were not rare in Tokyo, but until recently, most gardens were used by restaurants to grow vegetables used in their dishes. In September, Ginza Farm Inc., which leases garden space to

individuals, established a plot on a rooftop in Omotesando, Tokyo. “Recently, farming has captured the popular imagination, so we figured there would be many who would like to experience it firsthand,” a company spokesman said. “Here in Omotesando, people can visit easily after work.” The Omotesando rooftop garden is divided into 16 lots, and the rent for each lot — which each covers about three square meters — is about 16,000 yen a month. All the plots were snapped up before the rooftop was opened, company officials said. A 23-year-old nutritionist said she visits the rooftop two or three times a week before work to tend to cauliflowers and lettuce. “I enjoy growing vegetables — they’re so cute,” she said. “I feel like I’m raising children.” Kenji Takashio, secretary general of nonprofit organization O-Edo Yasai Kenkyu-kai, which promotes rooftop gardening, said, “I believe people are attracted by the handiness of rooftop gardens, where they can engage in agriculture in their own area, and don’t have to trek out to farms away from urban areas.”

WHY RENT?

Those numbers should be a signal to sellers whose property has languished on the market for a lengthy period, Thompson said. “In that case, in order to get buyers’ attention, price reductions are required,” she said. “Buyers are not spending time low-balling properties that are not accurately priced. If that were the case, the sell-to-list price (ratio) would be in the 60 to 70 percent range, not in the 90 percent range.” Although 2009 dollar volume is 79 percent of the peak in 2007 and transaction volume is about the same at 81 percent, Thompson said average sales prices through the third quarter are holding strong for condos and townhomes, and singlefamily homes have taken the biggest hit. The average price of condos and townhomes actually has grown slightly in 2009 to nearly $700,000. However, the average sales price of single-family homes has dropped from more than $1.2 million in 2008 to about $700,000 this year. Thompson predicted that financing would continue to be

a challenge for most buyers in 2010, especially in the condo market, because lending rules are in flux. Bank-owned properties and short sales will continue to be a part of the market, Thompson said, but not the driving force in Steamboat. Sales at One Steamboat Place and Edgemont will lead the way in 2010, Thompson said, but she predicted that the real estate market would follow a resurgent winter tourism season with the ski industry improving on 2008/2009 lift ticket sales and lodging numbers also improving. The key to reaping rewards, Thompson said, will be understanding market cycles, which typically come full circle within six to nine years. When the economy is in recovery from a recession, Thompson said, excesses have been wrung out of the market and prices have begun to recover. Most investors still remain on the sidelines, she said. And that is the time for owners to improve their properties and wait for the expansion phase to return. — To reach Tom Ross, call 871-4205 or e-mail tross@steamboatpilot.com

Steamboat soccer star’s college career comes to a close

Supporting skiing’s future

n less than 100 days, the best Alpine ski racers in America will step onto an international stage where they will showcase their skills against the best the world has to offer at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. The skiers are the best our country has to offer, but they didn’t get there overnight. The journey includes entrylevel and middle-level events that help skiers progress. If they are good enough, they will qualify for FIS races, the NorAm and Europa Cup. If they are successful, they eventually will end up at the World Cup level and possibly even the Olympics. The events are essential to the success of American ski racing. Last month, the community of Steamboat Springs proved it was a leader on the ski slopes once again when it was recognized for its efforts at a luncheon hosted by the Rocky Mountain Division. The division honored five businesses with its service and support awards. SmartWool, Millennium Bank, Steamboat Village Brokers, Surefoot and Edward Jones were all recognized for supporting ski racing in Colorado. Terry DelliQuadri, the Rocky/Central Regional Director with the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association, said without the support of businesses like these, some of America’s top racers might never see the Olympics. SmartWool has supported the Colorado Ski Cup, an introductory race series, for several years. Last winter, Millennium Bank stepped to the plate, and with the help of Steamboat Village Brokers and Edward Jones along with Chris Puckett, introduced the Millennium Junior Ski Cup. Former racer and local skiing supporter David Baldinger Jr. said he lobbied to support that racer series because it fills the gap between the introductory series and the higher-level Surefoot Colorado Ski Cup. “We wanted a bridge, and we wanted to support ski racing,” Baldinger said. “This was a great opportunity to support ski racing at a grassroots level.” DelliQuadri agrees that the new series filled a void in the ladder to bigger things. “We noticed that a lot of younger racers were buying an FIS license, but they could not qualify to race in the higherlevel FIS events,” DelliQuadri said. “This new series has allowed them to qualify for more races and improve their rankings for those higher-level races.” The fact is that if America wants to stay competitive against the top ski racers in the world, it’s going to take more than the talent, hard work and dedication of the athletes. It’s going to take the continued support of businesses such as Surefoot, which supports the higher-level FIS race events, SmartWool, Millennium Bank, Steamboat Village Brokers and Edward Jones. This year, the Surefoot Colorado Ski Cup will host events in Steamboat Springs Dec. 19 to 22, the SmartWool Ski Cup will be Jan. 30 and 31 and the Millennium Bank Jr. Ski Cup will hold its championships here March 19 to 22.

Although it wasn’t the finish to her senior season she wanted, Labor did pick up her first goal with UNLV during the season. It just happened to be a game winner against the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. “You just reflect,” Labor said. “Every year I’ve ever known has been soccer.

playoff brackets today. They’ll be online at www.chsaa.org. But now that Steamboat has clinched a top seed, won the Western Slope League for the first time since 2006 and turned in an undefeated regular season, the next monkey off the back is the playoffs. Three years ago, Steamboat got bounced in the second round by Pueblo County. The past two years have included first-round exits for Steamboat, one to Fossil

Ridge and the other to Pueblo County. A common factor in all those games was that they were played on the road with a team that had a weakness. It’s pretty hard to find a weakness in this year’s team. “I think we deserve the No. 1 seed,” senior Joe Dover said after Friday’s 30-21 win against Glenwood. “The way we came out and played with our heart every game — the

blockers blocked, the receivers caught, the quarterback threw and the runners ran. We always came out and just did what we needed to do.” It might not be that simple in the playoffs, where 16 of Class 3A’s 37 best teams enter. The classification, maybe more so than any other, is known for upsets in the early rounds. But how far can this Sailors team get? Does it have the ability to go all the way? “Oh, you bet,” said Glenwood coach Rocky Whitworth, whose team won See Football, page 4C

For Steamboat Springs High School senior Gus Allen, running Saturday at the state crosscountry meet brought on mixed feelings. By finishing 67th, Allen ended his high school career on a high note, but he said he wished the end hadn’t come so quickly. “I like this team, like the

coaches, like doing workouts here, and, honestly, I would like to come back for one more year,” he said. “But I’m on to the next step of my life.” Allen was second on the team at the Fossil Ridge High School meet in Fort Collins, helping the Sailors secure a 19th-place finish in Division 4A.

He is 30-13 since replacing Bill Cowher in 2007, including 5-2 this season. Like Tomlin, Denver’s Josh McDaniels never was a head coach at any level before he was hired at age 32 to replace Mike Shanahan last winter. His Broncos are 6-1 and the biggest surprise of the first half of the season. McDaniels’ decision to send Pro Bowl passer Jay Cutler to Chicago for Kyle Orton or to ship his first-round draft pick next year to Seattle don’t look like such crazy ideas anymore. Both Tomlin and McDaniels say the opportunity to coach a superstar during their days as an assistant accelerated their careers and prepared them for the rigors of an NFL head coaching job while they were still in their early or mid-30s. For Tomlin, that player was safety John Lynch, whom he instructed as Tampa Bay’s defensive backs coach, his first NFL gig. Together, they won a Super Bowl ring in 2002. For McDaniels, it was New England quarterback Tom Brady, whom he tutored from 2004-08. They won the 2004 Super Bowl when McDaniels was Patriots quarterbacks coach. “Tom is the hardest player I’ve ever had to coach, and that’s a compliment to him, not a knock on him in any way,” McDaniels said. “He was the hardest because he required the most information and he required me to use every minute that I had to spend with See Broncos, page 4C

Florida struggles on offense, beats Vanderbilt, 27-3 The Associated Press

top 25 roundup

GAINESVILLE, Fla.

No. 1 Florida didn’t do much to erase all the negative vibes from rough week for the defending champions. Tim Tebow accounted for two touchdowns, Caleb Sturgis kicked two field goals and the Gators beat Vanderbilt, 27-3, in a lackluster effort Saturday night at The Swamp. Florida fans looking for something positive following linebacker Brandon Spikes’ one-game suspension for dirty play and coach Urban Meyer’s hefty fine for criticizing officials may have been disappointed.

No. 2 Texas 35, Central Florida 3 AUSTIN, Texas

Jordan Shipley set a Texas record with 273 yards receiving, including an 88-yard touchdown, and the No. 2 Longhorns shook off a slow start for a 35-3 win against Central Florida on Saturday. The sixth-year senior broke the previous best of 242 yards set in 1987 by Tony Jones. The touchdown came early in the fourth quarter on a drive that started at the 1.

No. 3 Alabama 24, No. 9 LSU 15 TUSCALOOSA, Ala.

No. 3 Alabama picked up another dramatic win and a second straight trip to the SEC championship game. Julio Jones caught a 73-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, and Leigh Tiffin booted a 40-yard field goal with 3:04 left to seal it. The Tide (9-0, 6-0 Southeastern Conference) earned a rematch with No. 1 Florida for the league championship in a physical game that left the Tigers (7-2, 4-2) without quarterback Jordan Jefferson and running back Charles Scott for most of the second half.

No. 4 Cincinnati 47, Connecticut 45 CINCINNATI

Zach Collaros, starting his third game in place of the injured Tony Pike, threw for 480 yards and a touchdown, ran for two more scores and led a clinching touchdown drive in the closing minutes of a wild victory. Cincinnati (9-0, 5-0 Big East) is off to its best start since 1951, when it won the MidAmerican Conference title.

No. 6 TCU 55, San Diego State 12

two more as No. 6 TCU won its 11th straight with a 55-12 win against San Diego State on Saturday. TCU (9-0, 5-0 Mountain West) remained in the chase for a BCS bowl berth by staying undefeated.

Stanford 51, No. 7 Oregon 42 STANFORD, Calif.

Toby Gerhart bowled over the Oregon defense to make the Cardinal bowl eligible for the first time in eight years. Gerhart ran for a schoolrecord 223 yards and three scores, Andrew Luck threw for two touchdowns and Stanford held on for sixth win of the season. The loss by Oregon (7-2, 5-1 Pac-10) just a week after beating Southern California 47-20 opened up the conference race and cost the Ducks a shot at a berth in the Bowl Championship Series title game.

Northwestern 17, No. 8 Iowa 10 IOWA CITY, Iowa

No. 8 Iowa finally ran out of time. Northwestern’s Dan Persa threw a touchdown pass, and Marshall Thomas recovered a fumble for another score to help the Wildcats snap the Hawkeyes’ 13-game winning streak with a 17-10 victory Saturday. It was the first win against a top-10 opponent for the Wildcats (6-4, 3-3 Big Ten) since knocking off then-No. 6 Ohio State 33-27 in overtime in 2004. It also ended the nation’s second-longest winning streak.

No. 10 Georgia Tech 30, Wake Forest 27, OT ATLANTA

Josh Nesbitt scored on a 3-yard run in overtime after Georgia Tech pulled off a gutsy play on fourth down, leading the No. 10 Yellow Jackets another step closer to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game. Jonathan Dwyer rushed for a career-best 189 yards and went more than 1,000 yards for the season, but it was Nesbitt and the guys on the defensive side who bailed out the Yellow Jackets (8-1, 6-1) at the end.

No. 15 Ohio State 24, No. 11 Penn State 7

Andy Dalton threw two touchdown passes and ran for

No. 12 USC 14, Arizona State 9 TEMPE, Ariz.

Will Harris returned an interception 55 yards for a score, Matt Barkley threw a 75-yard pass to Damian Williams and USC held on for its 10th straight victory against Arizona State. Coming off the worst loss in the Pete Carroll era, the Trojans (7-2, 4-2 Pac-10) barely survived on a night they produced little on offense. The victory kept the Trojans in the hunt for an eighth straight Bowl Championship Series berth.

No. 13 Houston 46, Tulsa 45 TULSA, Okla.

Matt Hogan kicked a 51-yard field goal as time expired, finishing off another thrilling Houston comeback led by quarterback Case Keenum. After getting sacked on a potential tying 2-point conversion with 21 seconds left, Keenum added to his Heisman Trophy resume by getting the Cougars (8-1, 4-1 Conference USA) into field goal range after they recovered an onside kick.

No. 14 Pittsburgh 37, Syracuse 10 PITTSBURGH

Greg Williams’ 51-yard interception return for a touchdown late in the first half got slow-starting Pittsburgh going, and the No. 14 Panthers extended their best start to a season since 1982. Dion Lewis ran for 110 yards and a touchdown for the freshman’s sixth 100-yard game, tight end Dorin Dickerson caught his 10th touchdown pass this season and the Panthers (8-1, 5-0 in Big East) won their fifth in a row heading into next Saturday’s game against No. 19 Notre Dame.

No. 16 Miami 52, Virginia 17 MIAMI

STATE COLLEGE, Pa.

SAN DIEGO

er in his return to his home state, Ray Small burned No. 11 Penn State (8-2, 4-2) with two long punt returns and No. 15 Ohio State won a duel of the league’s top two defenses in a 24-7 victory Saturday. The Buckeyes (8-2, 5-1 Big Ten) got an added bonus, too: a tie for the conference lead with Iowa after Northwestern handed the Hawkeyes its first loss of the season earlier Saturday.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are back in control of the Big Ten title race. Terrelle Pryor threw for two touchdowns and ran for anoth-

Graig Cooper rushed for a career-best 152 yards and a touchdown, and Damien Berry ran for a pair of second-half scores. Thearon Collier had a 60-yard punt return for the go-ahead touchdown, and

Gary W. Green/Orlando Sentinel

Florida quarterback Tim Tebow rushes for eight yards against Vanderbilt during the second quarter at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, Fla., on Saturday. Florida won, 27-3.

Jacory Harris finished 18 of 31 for 232 yards with two TDs for the Hurricanes (7-2, 4-2 Atlantic Coast Conference). The 35-point margin of victory was Miami’s biggest in an ACC game since beating Duke 52-7 in 2005.

No. 17 Utah 45, New Mexico 14 SALT LAKE CITY

Jordan Wynn passed for 297 yards and two touchdowns in his first college start, and Eddie Wide set a school record with his sixth straight 100-yard rushing game. The Utes (8-1, 5-0) won their sixth straight and scored their most points since a 48-24 win against BYU last year to end the regular season. Utah also remained unbeaten in the Mountain West Conference, setting up a first-place showdown next week at No. 6 TCU.

No. 18 Oklahoma State 34, Iowa State AMES, Iowa

Keith Toston ran for a career-high 206 yards and three touchdowns, Zac Robinson threw a touchdown pass and the Cowboys bounced back from their drubbing by Texas. Oklahoma State (7-2, 4-1 Big 12) controlled the game with a solid performance on both sides of the ball and reached seven victories for the fourth straight season, the first time in school history that has happened.

Navy 23, No. 19 Notre Dame 21 SOUTH BEND, Ind.

Navy did it to Notre Dame again — and this loss to the Midshipmen is even more costly. Craig Schaefer sacked Jimmy Clausen in the end zone with 60 seconds left Saturday,

and Navy held on for a 23-21 victory, its second straight at Notre Dame Stadium. No. 19 Notre Dame (6-3) scored with 24 seconds left on a 31-yard pass from Jimmy Clausen to Golden Tate to cut the lead to two, but the ensuing onside kick went out of bounds.

in the Top 25 for the first time following a four-week absence, lost their fifth straight at home to the Beavers — and this one made Oregon State (6-3, 4-2) bowl eligible.

Nebraska 10, No. 20 Oklahoma 3 Matt O’Hanlon had three of Nebraska’s five interceptions against Oklahoma’s Landry Jones. The Sooners (5-4, 3-2 Big 12) failed to score a touchdown for the first time since a 29-0 loss to Texas A&M in 1998.

No. 24 Wisconsin followed the same old script to grind down Indiana. John Clay ran for 134 yards and a touchdown, Montee Ball scored two TDs and the Badgers held off the Hoosiers’ fourth-quarter rally. The Badgers (7-2, 4-2 Big Ten) have now won two straight and still have not lost to an unranked team this season.

LARAMIE, Wyo.

Travis Cobb returned the opening kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown to set the tone for No. 21 Arizona. The Wildcats scored the first seven times they had the ball. Arizona led 34-0 at the half, then William “Bug” Wright returned a punt 86 yards for a score the first time the Wildcats touched it in the third quarter.

Max Hall threw for 312 yards and four touchdowns in just more than two quarters, and No. 25 BYU won its sixth straight against Wyoming, 52-0 on Saturday. BYU (7-2, 4-1 Mountain West) recorded its first shutout of the season and second consecutive against the Cowboys. The Cougars beat Wyoming, 44-0, last year.

Oregon State 31, No. 23 California 14 BERKELEY, Calif.

Sean Canfield threw for 342 yards and two touchdowns and ran for a score, and No. 23 California lost star tailback Jahvid Best to a concussion after he took a scary fall. Cal (6-3, 3-3 Pac-10) couldn’t recover from seeing Best land on his head in the end zone after a leaping touchdown over a defender in the second quarter.

Colorado football

BOULDER

The fans were protesting by wearing powder blue and booing, the Colorado Buffaloes were reeling and Tyler Hansen’s head had to be spinning. He had just been sacked for the seventh time and was about to go down again when he got off a shovel pass in the nick of time to tailback Demetrius Sumler, bringing up third-and-16 from his own 33 with CU trailing by six and time running out. It was the start of a frenetic and fantastic finish for CU as Hansen overcame his secondstraight eight-sack game to lead CU to a 35-34 win against the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday.

Air Force 35, Army 7 AIR FORCE ACADEMY

Air Force linebacker Andre Morris Jr. didn’t lead the team in tackles, didn’t have any sacks and didn’t really turn in any spectacular plays. Still, he may have made the biggest impact of all in Air Force’s 35-7 win against Army on Saturday. Morris motivated his teammates with a halftime rant inside the locker room, lighting a desperately needed fire under the Falcons. Dominated by an amped-up Army team

Sacramento State 38, Northern Colorado 35 GREELEY

Trailing Sacramento State 31-0 at halftime Saturday, Northern Colorado put the game in quarterback Bryan Waggener’s hands. What looked like a blowout turned into close matchup in the fourth quarter because of Waggener, who helped lead Northern Colorado (3-7, 1-6 Big Sky) to a big second half that proved not quite big enough in its 35-38 loss to Sacramento State (4-5, 4-3).

LAS VEGAS

Quarterback Omar Clayton threw for a touchdown and ran for another to help UNLV defeat Colorado State, 35-16, on Saturday, keeping the Rebels’ bowl hopes alive while ending the Rams’ postseason chances. UNLV (4-6, 2-4 Mountain West) needs to beat its last two opponents, Air Force on the road and San Diego State at home, to earn bowl eligibility. CSU (3-7, 0-6) lost its seventh straight. Clayton was 10-of-17 for 147 yards and no interceptions. He rushed for 44 yards on seven carries.

Nuggets lose 2nd straight to Hawks Bulls 93, Bobcats 90

NBA ROUNDUP

The Associated Press

ATLANTA

lost, 110-103, to Phoenix on Friday night, allowing 20 more points than in any previous game. Their defense was back Saturday — and it needed to be, because the Celtics couldn’t shoot for most of the night. Boston finished with 20 steals, five by Rondo, scoring 19 points off New Jersey’s 24 turnovers. Kevin Garnett shot 3 of 13 but added nine points and 13 rebounds to help the Celtics beat the Nets for the 10th straight time.

Jamal Crawford scored 25 points, and Josh Smith had 22 points, nine rebounds, six blocked shots and seven assists for Atlanta. Joe Johnson added 21 points, and Marvin Williams had 14. Carmelo Anthony had 30 points for Denver, and Chauncey Billups added 25. The Nuggets have lost two straight after opening 5-0. The Hawks were coming off a 103-83 loss to Charlotte on Friday night. They had a season-high 125 points and 30 assists.

Mavericks 129, Raptors 101 DALLAS

Celtics 86, Nets 76

Dirk Nowitzki had 29 points and nine rebounds, and Josh Howard scored 16 in his season debut for Dallas following ankle and wrist injures. Jason Terry added 19 points, and Shawn Marion had 18 points and eight rebounds for Dallas. Dallas native Chris Bosh had 26 points and 12 rebounds for Toronto.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.

Rajon Rondo and Paul Pierce each scored 16 points, and the Boston Celtics bounced back from their first loss of the season to beat the winless New Jersey Nets, 86-76, on Saturday night Ray Allen came alive after three dismal quarters to score eight of his 12 points in the fourth quarter for the Celtics (7-1), who

CHICAGO

John Salmons scored 27 points, and Joakim Noah added a career-high 21 points and had 16 rebounds in Chicago’s third straight win. The Bulls had a 16-0 run in the third and fourth quarters that turned a nine-point deficit into a seven-point lead at 77-70. Boris Diaw led Charlotte with 20 points.

Kings 104, Jazz 99 SALT LAKE CITY

Tyreke Evans scored a career-high 32 points, and Sacramento held off Utah in the Kings’ first game without high-scoring guard Kevin Martin. Evans, the fourth overall pick in the June draft, became the focal point of the Kings’ offense in place of Martin, who averaged 30.6 points in the first five games. Martin will have surgery Monday to repair a fracture in his left wrist. Deron Williams had 29 points and 15 assists for Utah.

MILWAUKEE

Andrew Bogut scored a season-high 22 points and had eight rebounds, and rookie Jodie Meeks added 19 points for Milwaukee. Rookie Brandon Jennings added 17 points to help the Bucks improve to 3-2. David Lee had 18 points and seven rebounds for New York (1-6).

Clippers 113, Grizzlies 110 LOS ANGELES

Chris Kaman had 26 points and nine rebounds, and the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Memphis Grizzlies, 113-110, on Saturday night for their third straight victory — equaling their longest winning streak of last season. The Grizzlies were without 10-time All-Star point guard Allen Iverson, whose current status as a backup behind Mike Conley — and Iverson’s subsequent comments on the matter — have cast a cloud over coach Lionel Hollins’ 1-6 club.

Broncos continued from 1C him in a productive way.” McDaniels wouldn’t dare try to fill up an hour-long meeting with 30 minutes of instruction. So, he never went home the night before until he was certain he had enough new lesson plans for Brady, a notorious bookworm and film freak. McDaniels said all that latenight cramming and the time they spent together made him a better teacher as he honed the skills he’s now using to try to restore Denver’s dominance. Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey said Lynch used to praise Tomlin back when he wasn’t a household name and was still rising through the assistant ranks. “He always spoke highly of him,” Bailey said. “I wasn’t surprised when he got the (Steelers) job.” So, what did Bailey have to say about Tomlin? “He’s a great motivator,” Bailey said. “They’re both young, energetic, they both definitely know how to get their guys ready,” Bailey said.

Law signs with Broncos ENGLEWOOD

Ty Law spent the first half of the season waiting for the right team to come calling. Now that it has, he doesn’t want to waste any more time getting back on the field. Law came out of what he called “semiretirement” Saturday to join the Denver Broncos and counts on contributing Monday night when the Pittsburgh Steelers bring three wide receivers to Invesco Field who are averaging more than 14 yards per catch. “They’re trying to get me ready to play this week in a limited fashion,” Law said. “I did it last year.” The 15-year veteran joined the Jets at midseason in 2008 and played aplenty a few days later against New England. “I’m just going to kind of wing it and go out and do the best I can,” Law said. “But right now they’re just shoving a lot down my throat because the terminology is totally different.” The 35-year-old Law gives the Broncos five players in the defensive backfield who are older than 30. Law said it was comforting to join a seasoned secondary that features Champ Bailey, Andre’ Goodman, Renaldo Hill and Brian Dawkins. — The Associated Press

“On this course with this many people, you really have to go out hard, which isn’t something I like to do,” he said. “I like to start slow and work my way up, and you really couldn’t do that because there were so many people. If you got behind, you couldn’t really weave your way up. “I was just chasing people the whole way.” Although he said he has given college running some thought, Allen said he gave a full effort in what might be his last race. “I went as hard as I could and ran as hard as I could,” he said. “I did what I could, and I think it went all right.” Junior Jack Burger led the

team by finishing the course in 17 minutes and seven seconds — good enough for 31st place. “I thought I ran pretty well,” he said. “Like Gus said, with this course, you have to go out really fast in the beginning.” Burger said his fast start might have actually hurt his time. “I went out hard and tried to hold that pace, but the second mile was the hardest for me,” he said. “I think I went too hard, but I finished well.” Burger, who also played tennis for Steamboat Springs, was racing in his fourth meet of the year. He said his first meet also was at Fossil Ridge High School. “I think I was 57 seconds faster today,” he said. That improvement should carry over into next fall, Burger added. “I think our team should be pretty good next year; we just need to start training in the offseason,” he said. “I’m looking forward to it.”

Labor excited for next stage in her life Soccer continued from 1C dream. When I was a kid, it was Division I soccer. I’m so happy that I got here. I’ve met some of the greatest people in the world.” If Labor needed any extra motivation about her decision, she got it from former high school friend and teammate Ann Barney. Barney, who died in a car crash, told Labor something she’ll always remember. “She told me her regret was not playing college soccer,” Labor said. “I took her num-

ber, No. 9, and wore an arm band with her name on it with the words ‘no regrets.’ I played for her. I played for those who could no longer play. That gave me the motivation.” Although Labor’s career has ended, she said she’s excited for the next stage of her life. She’ll graduate in May with a psychology degree and plans to go to graduate school in the fall to study child and adolescent counseling. Of course, her education plans also include soccer. Labor is looking for a school where she can be a graduate

coach on the soccer field. She said soccer has given her so much, she wants to start returning the favor. “I think she’ll be a fantastic coach,” said Steamboat Springs High School coach Rob Bohlmann, who has seen Labor coach at many of his camps. “She’s an absolute student of the game. … It’s just a natural ability. If that’s the direction she goes, and it looks like that is, I think she’ll have a lot of success.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

Coach: Sailors have chance to reach goal Football continued from 1C a state championship last season. “They’re an outstanding team. They’re smooth, and they have a lot of weapons. They have a speed defense that if they have a good day, they can compete with anybody.” Whitworth, whose team went an impressive 14-0 last season, said many things matter when it comes to playoff football. But two things, he said, always stick out. “I would say when you get to this point, on any given day CHECK OUT WILDHORSE MEADOWS AT EXPLORESTEAMBOAT.COM Find it at Steamboat’s most complete business directory Web site.

a team can beat each other,” he said. “It always comes down to kicking game and turnovers when teams are equal. It’s that way in the playoffs.” Friday’s game was as close to a playoff game as teams can get in the regular season. It determined the league champion. Going off Whitworth’s point, Steamboat created two turnovers Friday, and kicker Peter Schuette hit a 21-yard field goal with two minutes left in the game to put it out of reach. Considering all that, Steam

boat coach Aaron Finch said the Sailors now have a chance to reach their last goal. “It’s always first make the playoffs,” he said. “Then it’s a league championship, and to do it with 10 wins is pretty darn amazing. But none of that matters. It’s four one-game seasons. Your season is over if you don’t win the next game. We’re going to worry about this next game and not worry about looking back too much.”

nhl Pyorala helps Flyers beat Blues in shootout Steamboat Pilot & Today • Sunday, November 8, 2009

nhl roundup

PHILADELPHIA

Mika Pyorala scored in the shootout to lead Philadelphia against St. Louis. Pyorala’s goal in the fourth round was the difference as the Flyers won their fourth consecutive game. Philadelphia’s Claude Giroux and St. Louis’ Brad Boyes each scored in the second round. Scott Hartnell scored in regulation for Philadelphia, which moved to 83-39-17 overall against the Blues, including 47-12-10 at home. The struggling Blues, who entered with the NHL’s fourthworst record, have dropped four straight. St. Louis tied it in the third period when T.J. Oshie scored.

Devils 3, Senators 2 OTTAWA

Zach Parise and David Clarkson each had a goal and an assist on the power play, and the New Jersey Devils won their eighth straight road game with a 3-2 comeback victory against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night. The Devils are 8-0 away from New Jersey, the secondlongest road winning streak to open a season in NHL history. The Buffalo Sabres started 10-0 on the road to start the 2006-07 season. New Jersey’s power play led the way, scoring three unanswered goals. Parise, Clarkson and Andy Greene had goals for the Devils. Martin Brodeur faced 21 shots. Milan Michalek and Brian Lee scored for the Senators. Pascal Leclaire, celebrating his 27th birthday, stopped 22 shots.

Predators 3, Kings 1 LOS ANGELES

Francis Bouillon, Cody Franson and Joel Ward scored to lead Nashville against Los Angeles. Dan Ellis made 27 saves in his first start since Oct. 28. Franson, playing in his ninth NHL game, scored his second goal of the season to give the Predators a 2-0 lead. The Kings got on the board with 11:35 to play as Dustin Brown scored his sixth of the season during a power play. But Ward restored Nashville’s two-goal margin just 80 seconds later.

Maple Leafs 5, Red Wings 1 TORONTO

Phil Kessel scored his first goal with Toronto and Jonas Gustavsson made 35 saves to lead the Maple Leafs against Detroit. After a rough start, the Maple Leafs have been improving — buoyed in large part by Gustavsson taking over the No. 1 goaltending job. Toronto moved out of the NHL basement by winning two in a row and earning points in seven straight games (3-0-4). Wayne Primeau, Jeff Finger, John Mitchell and Alexei Ponik arovsky also scored for Toronto. Daniel Cleary had the Red Wings’ goal.

Bruins 4, Sabres 2 BOSTON

Mark Recchi and Zdeno Chara scored first-period power-play goals as goal-starved Boston halted a rough stretch with a win against Buffalo. The Sabres have lost consecutive losses for the first time this season. The Bruins snapped a threegame losing streak. Boston had scored only once in its previous three games. Boston also snapped an 0-for-20 skid on the power play. Byron Bitz and Marco Sturm had the Bruins’ other goals. Derek Roy and Jason Pominville had the Sabres’ goals. Buffalo was 0 for 7 on the power play. Tuukka Rask stopped 28 shots for Boston. Buffalo rookie netminder Jhonas Enroth, recalled from Portland of the AHL on Wednesday, made 33 saves in his NHL debut.

Capitals 7, Panthers 4 WASHINGTON

Tomas Fleischmann scored twice during a five-goal third period, and short-handed Washington beat Florida for a sweep of the home-and-home series. Washington played a third straight game without two-time NHL MVP Alex Ovechkin, who has an upper body injury. The Capitals also were without injured defensemen Mike Green and Jeff Schultz, both of whom were hurt Friday during a 4-1 victory in Florida. The Capitals got 23 saves from Jose Theodore and goals 40 seconds apart from Mathieu Perreault and Quintin Laing. Perreault’s goal was his first in the NHL. Fleischmann extended his point streak to a career-high five games with a goal off an excellent pass from Nicklas Backstrom. Mike Knuble’s second goal of the game with 8:54 remaining made it 6-4, and Fleischmann scored again with 6:22 left. The seven goals were a season high for the Capitals. Cory Stillman scored twice for the Panthers, who have lost two straight after winning three in a row.

Blue Jackets 3, ’Canes 2 COLUMBUS, Ohio

Rick Nash scored Columbus’ third goal in a 2:41 span of the third period to send Carolina to a franchiserecord 12th consecutive loss. Nikita Filatov and Jared Boll also scored for the Blue Jackets, who have points in their last five games. Steve Mason, who had 24 saves, assisted on Boll’s go-ahead goal. Erik Cole and Tim Gleason had goals for Carolina, which lost goalie Cam Ward after he was cut by a skate during the first period and taken to a hospital. The Hurricanes, who lost their sixth in a row overall, have not won since a 7-2 victory against Florida on Oct. 9. Since then, they have gone 0-93, eclipsing an 11-game winless streak in 2003. They also are winless in their last nine road games (0-7-2) and remain the only NHL team without a victory away from home.

Wild 3, Stars 2 ST. PAUL, Minn.

Cal Clutterbuck and Mikko Koivu scored first-period goals and Minnesota held on to beat Dallas. Marek Zidlicky also scored for the Wild, which has won three of four. Loui Eriksson scored twice on the power play for the Stars, who have allowed at least three goals in 11 of their 17 games — including five of six.

Flames 3, Rangers 1 CALGARY, Alberta

Jarome Iginla scored the go-ahead goal, and Miikka Kiprusoff made 32 saves as the Calgary Flames beat the New York Rangers, 3-1, on Saturday night for their third win in a row. Iginla’s eighth goal of the season at 16:47 of the second period came on a power play and broke a 1-1 tie. Daymond Langkow also scored for Calgary (10-4-1). Home for just one game, the Flames return to the road Tues day night kicking off a threegame road trip in Montreal.

Sharks 5, Penguins 0 SAN JOSE, Calif.

Joe Pavelski had a goal and an assist in his first game back from the injured list, Evgeni Nabokov made 27 saves, and the San Jose Sharks beat the Pittsburgh Penguins for the seventh straight time at home, 5-0, on Saturday night. Pittsburgh star Sidney Crosby was held pointless for a fourth straight game for the fourth time in his career. He hit the post with a shot early in the second period but was unable to convert against Nabokov and the Sharks.

Clem Murray/Philadelphia Inquirer

The Philadelphia Flyers’ Claude Giroux is upended by the St. Louis Blues’ Keith Tkachuk during the second period at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia. The Flyers won, 2-1, in a shootout.

Dan Boyle, Dany Heatley, Jamie McGinn and Manny Malhotra also scored for San Jose, which has eight wins and a tie at home against Pittsburgh since last losing to the Penguins at the Shark Tank, 5-2, on Oct. 22, 1997, when Crosby was only 10 years old.

Ducks 4, Coyotes 3 ANAHEIM, Calif.

Mike Brown’s goal off a faceoff in the third period became a surprising gamewinner as the Anaheim Ducks held on for a 4-3 win against the Phoenix Coyotes on Saturday night.

After building a 4-0 lead on goals by Teemu Selanne, Bobby Ryan, Corey Perry and Brown, the Ducks surrendered three quick tallies to Phoenix in an 8-minute span of the third period. Jonas Hiller made several of his 27 saves in the final minutes to secure the victory for the Ducks.

Islanders 6, Thrashers 3 UNIONDALE, N.Y.

Sean Bergenheim, Blake Comeau and Jack Hillen each scored their first goals of the season to help the New York Islanders break out of a twogame offensive drought and beat Atlanta. The Islanders (6-6-5) have been streaky. They went winless in their first six (0-3-3). But they had won four straight before taking a two-game losing streak into this game, scoring one goal over 120 minutes. Their six goals and 45 shots were season highs. New York outscored Atlanta 3-1 in the first period on goals by Andy Sutton, Bergenheim and Hillen. The Islanders outshot Atlanta 21-11 in the frame. Zach Bogosian, Pavel Kubina, and Christoph Schubert scored for Atlanta.

Lightning 3, Canadiens 1 MONTREAL

Ryan Malone and Alex Tanguay each had a goal and an assist to lead Tampa Bay against Montreal. James Wright also scored for Tampa Bay, which went 2-0-1 after dropping the opener of a four-game road trip at Philadelphia on Monday. Antero Niittymaki made 36 saves in his third straight start for the Lightning (6-4-5). Brian Gionta scored his seventh goal for Montreal (8-9-0), which has lost four of six. Carey Price, who stopped 18 shots, fell to 3-7.

Early season surprises

arly season skiing is the college football nonconference schedule of the mountain world. For the most part, nonconference games are terrible. I grew up attending nearly every home game during the golden age of Kansas State football, a stretch when the Wildcats went to 11 consecutive bowl games from 1993 to 2003. I saw more than my fair share of awful nonconference or generally uncompetitive games. The Wildcats played plenty of good games against toprated opponents during those years, too, and whenever those big games came around, the focus on the action on the field was appropriate. The rest of the time, though, the game often took a back seat. My parents used to stage elaborate tailgate parties, meeting up with friends before almost every game. We never missed a snap, but the day trip certainly wasn’t just about the football game. That became even truer in college. Again, I kept a certain devotion to actually attending the games, but a home football game day was a guaranteed party. It was a guarantee few of my classmates ever passed on. A game against Directional U instead of No. 1 OU was sometimes preferable because it came with no guilt in leaving at halftime. It was with that attitude that I loaded up my season rentals for the first time early Monday morning and guided a car full of associates to Loveland Basin. At this point, I’ve logged one full winter on the mountain, and an early trip to Copper Mountain last fall taught me what to expect from early season skiing. That day last season was mostly memorable because I fell off the lift before I even got on it. Twice. We stood in line, made our way down one short run and stood in line. We ate an expensive lunch, and after a little more standing in line and a few brief moments of skiing, settled down for a few notso-hard-earned beers. It was a fantastic day, but that analysis had little to do with the quality of the snow (mostly icy and terrible), the atmosphere (mostly crowded and annoying) or the resort (mostly closed and brown). But sometimes, even against opponents your team should blow out, something else happens. I screamed myself hoarse in 2002 as K-State edged out Carson Palmer and the University of Southern California, an entirely atypical nonconference game. I went crazy in 1991 when the Cats intercepted a two-point conversion attempt and returned it for two points and a one-point victory against Indiana State. And, when we showed up in Loveland on an early November day so warm people in Steamboat were wearing shorts on Lincoln Avenue, we found good snow, short lines and an awesome early season day of skiing. It was a great day to be surprised.

Torre Saterstrom whips his fly rod Thursday afternoon while fishing in the Yampa River in downtown Steamboat Springs. While summer has come and gone, there is no shortage of fishing opportunities available for outdoorsmen in Routt County.

All-season sport plows on Colder weather doesn’t slow area fly fishers

he cap of snow gathered atop Mount Werner began to melt through last week, the brown scars underneath a depressing sign for any hoping to hit the slopes soon or in any sort of top-to-bottom fashion when the chairlifts are finally fired up later this month. Torre Saterstrom didn’t grimace. Instead, as he has done all autumn long, he grabbed his equipment and took to one of Steamboat Springs’ few truly allseason sports. He spent an early late-fall afternoon fly-fishing in the Yampa River. “It’s great,” he said, his grin plenty wide enough to be obvious from the river’s banks. As the final major fall hunting season window closes and mountain bikers give up on Steamboat’s often soggy trails, fishing in the area changes, but it never stops. Thursday was a slow afternoon at Steamboat Flyfisher as Keith Hale shifted his gaze back and forth from the traffic on the street in front of his new shop — heavy thanks to the Lincoln Avenue construction — to the high-definition television blinking above the service desk — The Weather Channel, where it looks warm. A steady trickle of custom-

sundayfocus Story by Joel Reichenberger ers made their way in, however, picking up the gear necessary to tackle a whole new season. Locals insist that fall is just as good as the rest of Steamboat’s fishing seasons. It is different, however. An early summer fishing trip on the Yampa is defined not by the kayakers drifting across the surface, but the insects hatching from the river bottom. The fall, by comparison, is defined by what isn’t happening. The insects of the summer have broken out and buzzed off, so fly-fishing flies designed to mimic them and lure a hungry trout on to a hook aren’t likely to be as effective. “Basically, in the summer time you get the bugs hatching, bugs that live on the bottom,” Hale said. “You get fish to eat those on the surface. This time of year, there aren’t a whole lot of hatches, so you’re mostly fishing below the surface and with streamers.” Fall weather often calls for larger flies, or, as a trout sees it, a fat steak for a trout looking to fatten up for the cold months ahead.

“You’re just throwing something that’s big and meaty,” Hale said. Although fishing doesn’t have to get any more difficult when the weather turns, finding the right spot can be more important. In the spring and summer, trout can be found in many parts of the river. Come fall and winter, however, they’re more likely to coalesce in certain areas. “It can be easier to find them because they sit together in the same holes,” Hale said. “Convincing them to take a bite might be more difficult, but in the summer the fish are a lot more spread out.” Fish are plentiful in the Yampa and the Elk rivers, and there are plenty to be had at Stagecoach Reservoir, as well. In fact, the South Routt lake was stocked with 40,000 10- to 12-inch trout last week. “The fishing has been pretty decent lately,” reservoir administrative assistant Kimi Hollwedel reported Friday morning. “People are still catching 4- to 6-pound trout in pretty much all areas of the reservoir, though some spots have been hotter than others.” The tail waters below the dam, as usual, remain a popular

I couldn’t see him when I sat down to get a better shot, and then I stood up and got an offhand shot at him with my 7 mm Magnum from 275 yards or so while he was just short of running, all in about 10 seconds or so. I haven’t shot more than two to five rounds a year for 20 years, but that day was my lucky day, and reflexes were on my side. The bullet got the top inch of his heart and at least one lung.

As the seasons change, so do the most appropriate flies available at Steamboat Flyfisher. A pair of Barry Reynold’s flies, red and white and green, far left, both $3, are perfect for catching pike at Stagecoach Reservoir. The Slumpbuster, far right, and Zonker, both $2.50, as well as the San Juan Worm, center top, the PT Cruiser, second from top, the Pheasant Tail, third, and the soft hackle, bottom, all $1.95, are ideal for trout on area rivers such as the Yampa or at Stagecoach Reservoir.

and fertile area for fly fishers. In the reservoir itself, there are plenty of pike in addition to the new trout. “Spring and fall are the best times to fish for pikes,” Hale said. “They spawn in the fall and are moving up from the shallows. They’re definitely not in the very deep areas right now.” That’s good news at the reservoir, as fishing there these days comes with a hitch. The boat ramp is closed because of an aquatic nuisance

species protocol. All fishing will have to be done from the shore. Hollwedel said areas along the dam could offer appropriately deep water to nab some pike on warmer days, as would the Keystone area, just below the park office. “Fishing here is good yearround,” she said. “Ice fishing season is just around the corner, too.” — To reach Joel Reichenberger, call 871-4253 or e-mail jreichenberger@steamboatpilot.com

tour of the local house owned by “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone turns up not a single Emmy, Eric Cartman doll or halfdrawn cartoon panel. There are no messes. No signs of Hollywood, parties or all-night production crunches. Instead, the timberStory by frame home on nearly Mike Lawrence 2 acres on Storm Meadows Drive — Photos by look for the Japanese Matt Stensland lanterns over the gate — is filled with a Zen-like calm and a love of nature. Those feelings are portrayed through elegant wood finishes in the five bedrooms and bathrooms, high ceilings supported by Douglas fir timbers reclaimed from a railroad trestle that once spanned the Great Salt Lake and simple furnishings such as broad couches and a bathtub surrounded by sand. There are views of Steamboat Ski Area from the front porch; a curved, granite kitchen counter with a leathered finish in shades of evergreen; and a mid-19thcentury Japanese tansu, or antique chest of drawers, that faces a 110-inch projection screen. A Western dining room with sweeping views across the south valley is balanced by an Eastern dining room with low chairs and windows that look onto an aspen grove. In the rear of the property, at the end of a winding stone walkway, is a Japanese tea house that appears as authentic as one found in a Tokyo garden, with sliding screens as walls and tatami mats on the floor. Hard to believe the house is the property of people who made a fortune on fart jokes, puppet sex and social satire grounded in lowbrow humor. “They’re multifaceted people,” architect Michael Rath said about Parker and Stone, noting Parker’s talent as a pianist and the duo’s work on an upcoming Broadway musical. “They can come here and get their dose of nature.”

Architect: House an affirmation of their love of Colorado House continued from 1D But the house, Rath explained, is far more than a simple nature retreat. Rath is a managing partner of Trilogy Partners, a Breckenridge-based design and building firm that specializes in projects using sustainable building techniques. He also has built a home for Parker and Stone in Kauai, Hawaii. Rath said the Steamboat home features exterior siding and interior flooring of reclaimed wood, recycled carpeting, high-efficiency boiler systems, energy-efficient insulation and in-floor, radiant heating that can be shut off in unoccupied zones. The home’s blend of rustic mountain and Japanese styles will be showcased in an upcoming edition of Architectural Digest, he said. That blend was challenging at first, Rath noted. “The more we got into it, the more we realized it would be the perfect marriage,” Rath said. Rath said the unusual blend was Parker and Stone’s brainchild. The duo grew up in the Denver area, attended the University of Colorado at Boulder and hit the big time shortly after the “South Park” cartoon series began on Comedy Central in 1997. Parker and Stone have each won several Emmy Awards and expanded their creativity into numerous genres. They use the Steamboat home primarily as a place for family and friends, Rath said, to relax and entertain in a place they visited as children and that reconnects them with home. “I think what this house means to Matt and Trey is Colorado roots,” Rath said. “This house is

an affirmation of their love for the state of Colorado.” It is also an affirmation of Parker’s love for the art and culture of Japan, Rath said. The tea house, especially, is an homage to tranquility, simplicity and respect for the world outdoors. Rath said Parker and Stone declined to participate in this story, citing privacy reasons.

‘Colorado roots’ Neshama Abraham is a partner in Abraham & Paiss Asso ciates, a Boulder firm that provides marketing and public relations for companies working with an ethic of sustainability. Abra ham acknowledged that sustainable construction practices can sometimes be cost-prohibitive but said the more people who make the effort — such as Parker and Stone — the greater and more accessible the market becomes. “It takes time to turn a big ship,” she said about bringing change to the construction industry. Routt County is increasingly a hotbed of sustainable construction, as many homeowners and builders are going green by using solar panels, hay bale walls and more. Rath noted Parker and Stone’s willingness to take steps for sustainability. “I think more and more today, people are willing to make a statement about the Earth and how they want to protect it,” Rath said. “For high-end homes in this

valley, this is entirely consistent with what they cost.” According to the Routt County Assessor’s Office, the land was purchased in 2002 for about $1.4 million. The main residence, tea house and land improvements have raised the property’s total value, for assessment purposes, to just less than $5 million. Several local workers and firms had a hand in the construction, which was completed at the main residence in late 2007 and at the tea house about a year ago, Rath said. Examples include Steamboat architect Laura Frey, who Rath said worked on the tea house; Steamboat’s Storm Mountain Metal, which fabricated custom

railings designed by Parker; and Steamboat Woodworks, which contributed a front door. “I know that everybody knows that they have a house here,” Rath said. “I want Steamboat to feel some pride in that (Parker and Stone) see this house as a place for friends and family. … They could have had this place anywhere.” Rath noted that Parker and Stone decided against “jetting into Aspen” or building in Vail, preferring instead to build the home in the relative solitude of Steamboat Springs. “I think that’s how they keep a perspective,” Rath said. “And I think that’s why this house is here.”

Democrats sweep to overwhelming victory 75 years ago From the Friday, Nov. 9, 1934, edition of The Steamboat Pilot: The people of Colorado went to the polls Tuesday to give enthusiastic endorsement to the Democratic Party and the New Deal. Colorado sends back to Washington her four Democratic congressmen. In this district, Taylor’s majority is the largest it has ever been in his long service. His Routt County majority is 1,686. In the state, Gov. Johnson is re-elected by about a 50,000 majority, and he carries with him the entire Democratic state ticket with the probable exception of state treasurer.

Looking Back Articles from our archives

President Roosevelt emerges from the election as the bestentrenched political potentate in the nation’s history. From the Atlantic to the Pacific and the Gulf to the border his New Deal was accorded an unequalled vote of confidence in Tuesday’s election. His supporters were triumphant in such Republican strongholds as Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Ohio. The Democrats in the United States Senate will number 70, to only 24 Republicans. Instead of losing seats in the House, the majority will be

increased by two or three. Thirty-eight states have elected Democratic governors. The returns constituted an elegant forecast of the period of political uncertainty and grouping ahead. In their individual campaigns, candidates elected as Democrats or New Dealers expressed views hopelessly impossible of reconciliation. Over them all, Roosevelt stands politically supreme. His shadow has lengthened this early to encompass the presidential campaign of 1936, and today looms even larger in the speculation of what will happen. It is his to determine whether or how quickly there will be positive attempts to realign the parties. Above and beyond the actual personal results it is this fact, the certainty of his political impreg-

nability for a time ahead, that stands out as the most potentially important of all the angles to what happened at the polls.

Heavy snowfall in Routt County was big benefit Routt County and vicinity received a welcome snowstorm Saturday night and Sunday morning. The moist snow piled about 8 inches in Steamboat Springs. In the higher country, the fall was from 1 foot to 18 inches. The ground was not frozen, and the moisture was absorbed into the soil, making it possible to continue fall plowing. Practically all crops in the county have been harvested. The moisture will be a benefit to the meadows where cattle are being pastured.

New fire chief has experience with beetle-killed trees Fire chief continued from 1D Lindroth, coming from a job as company officer with the Poudre Fire Authority in Fort Collins, said he plans to make firefighter safety the top priority. Leading up to his first day, Nov. 2, and during his first week on the job, Lindroth met with staff in the department and said he’s assessing the strengths and needs of the

department. “The reality is we have to clearly define what our mission is, and we have to have a minimum amount of staff and minimum amount of equipment,” he said. After looking over the department, meeting with staff and examining the equipment, he said that it appears, “we are at that minimum,” while still capable of responding to emergency calls.

On the upside, Lindroth said he has found “a lot of highly energetic people” in the department. Lindroth said his second goal is to create “outstanding customer service.” He said he values a culture of compassion and helpfulness. “If we cannot resolve their problem for them, we can locate the correct agency within one call,” he said. Lindroth oversaw a staff of

160 firefighters in Fort Collins, and he said his experience at larger fire departments, and in areas with larger populations, shows him how the Steamboat Springs office can grow. He has also worked with beetle-killed trees in Fort Collins, as a firefighter with the Livermore Fire Protection District and for four seasons as a firefighter for the U.S. Forest Service. “A personal area of interest is wildland fire,” he said.

Your numbers are 13, 18, 23, 27, 31, 38, 46 ARIES (March 21-April 19): This is not the time to address issues that are emotionally based or that can change the course of your future. Strive for equality and give others the benefit of a doubt. Time heals all wounds. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Trouble at home will lead to a lack of productivity at work. Try not to let your emotions stand in the way of what you do best. Keeping your personal and professional life separate is a must. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You cannot let one disappointment slow you down or stop you from trying to reach your goals. With a little ingenuity, you can find outlets for your skills and people who are willing to take a chance on what you have to offer. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Love is on the rise and the opportunity to get involved with someone who shares your interests is likely. Your generosity will lead to opportunities and favors in return for what you have brought to the table. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Give a little more at home if you want to keep the peace.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Overspending will lead to trouble both at home and work. The pressure of being in debt will play a big role in how you project who you are. Focus on your attributes and a financial solution will come your way. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t reveal your secrets or someone will surpass you and take credit for what you are trying to do. Problems at home will develop if you aren’t completely honest about your position and intentions. Compromise if approached properly. ★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Change is heading your way but that doesn’t mean you should make rash moves or jump into something risky. Focus on the here-and-now and how you can make what you’ve got increase instead of diminish. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may be questioned by a partner and it will be important to have your facts and figures straight and to proceed with honesty and integrity. You can turn a negative into a positive by the way you handle a sticky situation. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be pulled in several directions if you let someone play with your heart. Use your head and your intuition to lead you in the right direction. Make your own choice and decision. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Easy come, easy go -- if you aren’t careful, that’s exactly what will happen to you financially. Stay on top of your investments and your budget. A problem with someone you work with can lead to a change in your position. ★★★ Birthday Baby: You are entertaining and progressive, unpredictable and adaptable. You are open to new ideas and concepts.
