Correction A 4-acre lot that developers of Overlook Park propose dedicating to the city for affordable housing could accommodate about 130 affordable housing units. The story “Highlands seeks height variances” on page 4 of Thursday’s Steamboat Today misstated the number of units the lot could accommodate. Police do not know whether Steamboat Springs resident Bob Bear had the pedestrian signal when he attempted to cross U.S. Highway 40 at Pine Grove Road last week. Police also did not take into consideration the driving or criminal history of Terry Tomey, the driver of the pickup that struck Bear, when determining what to cite him with. Both inaccuracies appeared in the story “Driver ticketed in Bob Bear’s death” on page 3 of Thursday’s Steamboat Today. For a revised story, see page 3 of today’s paper.

When Frank Dolman contracted with the Pentagon, he learned a pack of lessons about government contracting. He settled for nothing less than the perfect bid every time. Dolman worked for a company that built engines for military vehicles. He carried his contract-winning ways through nine years of owning a painting company in Steamboat. For example, Dolman aimed to offer painting bids within eight hours of receiving a request. They weren’t simple bids, either, he said. “I’d bury you in detail,” Dolman said. “But you knew exactly what I was going to do.” Dolman spoke at a Success Steps lunch Thursday at Steamboat Smokehouse. SCORE and Colorado Mountain College put on the lunch, where Dolman and officials from Routt County, Steamboat Springs and the U.S. Forest Service offered advice to business owners interested in government contracts. They encouraged businesses to keep their eyes open and bid on projects but warned that money is tight and the field is crowded. See Contracts, back page

Story incorrectly stated how police arrived at traffic infraction Zach Fridell

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Steamboat Springs police considered only the facts of the case when determining what charges to file against Terry Tomey, the driver of the pickup that hit Steamboat Springs resident Bob Bear on May 6. Bear died later that night from injuries sustained when his head hit the pavement. On Wednesday, Steamboat Springs police Capt. Joel Rae said Tomey was cited for failure to yield to a pedestrian with disabilities, a Class A traffic infraction. A story on page 3 of Thursday’s Steamboat Today incorrectly stated that police looked into Tomey’s driving and criminal history before determining the traffic infraction. On Thursday morning, Rae said that simply wasn’t the case.

“In this case and all other cases, charges are based on the facts of the investigation. Joel Rae The only time Steamboat a person’s Springs police captain criminal or driving history are brought into play is when a prosecuting attorney is considering a plea offer or when a judge is considering sentencing options.” “In this case and all other cases, charges are based on the facts of the investigation,” Rae said. “The only time a person’s criminal or driving history are brought into play is when a prosecuting attorney is considering a plea offer or when a judge is con-

sidering sentencing options.” Tomey has said he had a perfect driving record during the past two years. He also has said he’s had trouble sleeping since the accident and that he laid flowers at the intersection where the accident occurred. “This is just tearing me up,” he said last week. Rae also disputed a second statement attributed to police in Thursday’s article and an article in the May 8 edition of the Steamboat Today. Rae said police do not know whether Bear had the pedestrian signal when he attempted to cross U.S. Highway 40 at Pine Grove Road. What is known, Rae said, is that southbound traffic on U.S. 40 had a red light when Tomey initiated his right-hand turn from U.S. 40 onto Pine Grove Road. Police have said they think Tomey came to a stop before beginning the right-hand turn on a red light.

Town to hire service officer Oak Creek law enforcement position to handle municipal issues Zach Fridell

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

OAK CREEK

The town of Oak Creek plans to have at least one community service officer on the payroll by June, while town officials continue to wrangle with whether to pay for full police coverage from the Routt County Sheriff’s Office or rehire the town’s own police force. At a Thursday meeting of the Oak Creek Town Board, Police Commissioner and Trustee Dave Ege presented the board with a proposal to hire a community service officer for animal control and code enforcement. The town soon will begin advertising for the position, with applications due by June 12. Ege said he hopes to have a person hired to begin training by July 1. The position is for 30 hours per week, and the officer will handle animal complaints and municipal code enforcement, while notifying Routt County Communications about any major crime in the town.

The Steamboat Highlands project will take its case to the Steamboat Springs City Council next month after the city Planning Commission rejected developers’ bid Thursday for a zoning change on Burgess Creek Road. A successful zoning map amendment is a necessary precursor for the 328,610-squarefoot proposal’s development plans. Planning commissioners did not review the project’s development plans or community housing plan after the zoning map amendment failed in a tight 4-3 vote. Afterward, Planning and Community Development Director Tom Leeson told commissioners that the project’s developers plan to appeal the decision at a June 2 City Council meeting. The Steamboat Highlands parcel consists of two lots between Burgess Creek Road and Storm Meadows Drive. One is zoned G-1, a high-density resort designation, and the other is zoned RE-1, a low-

density residential designation Cloud Resort & Spa. Others, however, think the that allows only one unit per lot. Developers argued that the site is too far removed from RE-1 zoning made no sense and the ski base and too close to wrote in a letter that the up-zon- the residential neighborhoods of Burgess Creek ing to G-1 would “provide the ability “It definitely changes Road. “It definitely chfor redevelopment the character. anges the characwith densities that Burgess Creek has ter,” Commissioner further the intent Sarah Fox said. … to create vitality a certain character, “Burgess Creek and viability at the and growing up has a certain charresort.” here, that’s very acter, and growing The lot in quesimportant to me.” up here, that’s very tion is not bordered important to me.” by any other lots Sarah Fox C h a i r wo m a n with the same REPlanning commissioner Kathi Meyer said 1 zoning, and the on zoning change request she could have lot is identified as supported a less “resort commercial” in a future land-use map in the ambitious zone change, but she Steamboat Springs Community said a jump from RE-1 to G-1 Area Plan.

COMMENTARY

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

Rogue Diva of doom Maureen Dowd

THE NEW YORK TIMES

When Bush 41 was ramping up to the Gulf War, assembling a coalition to fight Saddam, Jimmy Carter sent a letter to members of the U.N. Security Council urging them not to rush into conflict without further exploring a negotiated solution. The first President George Bush and other Republicans in Washington considered this treasonous, a former president trying to thwart a sitting one, lobDowd bying foreign diplomats to oppose his own country on a war resolution. In 2002, when Bush Junior was ramping up to his war against Saddam, Al Gore made a speech trying to slow down that war resolution, pointing out that pivoting from Osama to Saddam for no reason, initiating “pre-emptive” war and blowing off our allies would

undermine the war on terrorism. Charles Krauthammer called Gore’s speech “a disgrace.” Michael Kelly, his fellow Washington Post columnist, called it “vile” and “contemptible.” Newt Gingrich said that the former vice president asserting that W. was making America less safe was “well outside the mark of an appropriate debate.” “I think the president should be doing what he thinks is best as commander in chief,” Gingrich said flatly. Now, however, Gingrich backs Dick Cheney when he asserts that President Barack Obama has made America less safe. Asked by Bob Schieffer on Sunday how America could torture when it made a mockery of our ideals, Cheney blithely gave an answer that surely would have been labeled treasonous by Rush Limbaugh, if a Democratic ex-vice president had said it about a Republican president. “Well, then you’d have to say that,

in effect, we’re prepared to sacrifice American lives rather than run an intelligent interrogation program that would provide us the information we need to protect America,” Doomsday Dick said. Cheney has replaced Sarah Palin as Rogue Diva. Just as Jeb Bush and other Republicans are trying to get kinder and gentler, Cheney has popped out of his dungeon, scary organ music blaring, to carry on his nasty campaign of fear and loathing. The man who never talked is now the man who won’t shut up. The man who wouldn’t list his office in the federal jobs directory, who had the vice president’s residence blocked on Google Earth, who went to the Supreme Court to keep from revealing which energy executives helped him write the nation’s energy policy, now is endlessly yelping about how Obama is holding back documents that should be made public. See Dowd, page 9

Heard that (Middle East) song before Cal Thomas

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits Washington next week, and if anyone wants an appropriate song to characterize the buildup to his meeting with President Barack Obama, it should be the old Sammy Cahn-Jule Styne number “I’ve Heard That Song Before,” which goes, “It seems to me I’ve heard that song before; it’s from an old familiar score; I know it well, that melody.” Thomas This time, there is a twist. King Abdullah, of Jordan, in an interview this week with the Times of London, raised the stakes by predicting war if the Palestinian side doesn’t see real progress toward its own state. Abdullah said a 57-state, not a twostate solution, is what’s needed, which

MALLARD FILLMORE

means all Arab and Muslim states, as part of any deal, would need to recognize Israel. Good luck with that. Last week in London, I spoke with Liam Fox, a conservative Member of Parliament and “shadow defense secretary.” Fox told me, “There is a belief in some quarters that if only you can resolve the problems between Israel and Palestine, all the other problems in the Middle East, in a domino-like fashion, will fall into place. That is absolute nonsense.” Indeed, it is. Fox said on a recent visit to Iran that Iranian politicians told him they realize they lack an air force to fight back if they are attacked by Israel, so they would use Hezbollah and Hamas. “They are part of our defense policy against Israel,” Fox quoted them as saying, “Hamas is not part of the Palestinian problem. Hamas is the foreign-policy wing of Iran in Israel.” If words mean anything, consider these from the Hamas Charter: “The Islamic

Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Muslim generations until Judgment Day. It, or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up. ... There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors.” Hezbollah has its own charter. It says in part: “Our primary assumption in our fight against Israel states that the Zionist entity is aggressive from its inception, and built on lands wrested from their owners, at the expense of the rights of the Muslim people. Therefore our struggle will end only when this entity is obliterated. We recognize no treaty with it, no cease-fire, and no peace agreements, whether separate or consolidated.” Anyone see any wiggle room there? See Thomas, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

Cheney can’t change what history will write

Does US want to sustain 1st democracy? Thomas continued from 8 As I have previously — and repeatedly — noted, the pressure from the United States ought not to be on Israel, which mostly has lived up to every agreement — from Oslo, to Madrid, to Wye River. U.S. pressure should be directed at those bent on Israel’s destruction. Israel’s enemies lost land through military action aimed at destroying Israel. They are winning it back through diplomacy, pressure and terrorist acts carried out by their proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah. Israel’s enemies have used this newly acquired land to launch attacks.

Gaza is the latest example. Israel unilaterally ceded Gaza to the Palestinians, which has been used as a terrorist base for firing missiles at civilians inside Israel. Why would anyone think that additional concessions, including an autonomous Palestinian state, would deter Islamic extremists from fulfilling the mandates of their charters? For people who regard any presence by Jews on “Muslim land” as a religious and personal affront and negotiations with “infidels” (that would be we American “crusaders” and the “Zionist entity”) as against the will of their god, why should they be expected to compromise

on a matter of doctrinal “truth”? The Palestinians will deserve a state when they and their Arab-Muslim supporters prove by their actions and a reconsideration of their religious doctrines that they are prepared to allow Israel to exist in peace and have no intention of flooding a Palestinian state with “refugees” who might very well be used to finish the job so many of them wish Hitler had completed. The question Netanyahu should ask Obama is whether the United States wants to sustain the first democracy in the Middle East or whether it wishes to create another terrorist state?

— Cheney will be deemed the primary one who made America more vulnerable. W.’s dark surrogate father is trying to pull the GOP into a black hole of zealotry, just as the sensible brother who lost his future to the scamp brother is trying to get his career back on track. When Cheney was in the first Bush administration, he was odd man out. Poppy, James Baker, Brent Scowcroft and Colin Powell corralled Cheney’s “Genghis Khan” side, as it was known, and his “rough streak.” Cheney didn’t care for Powell even then. But with W., “Back Seat” — Cheney’s Secret Service name in the Ford administration — clambered up front. Then he totaled the car. And no amount of yapping on TV is going to change that when history is written.

Cheney, who had five deferments himself to get out of going to Vietnam, would rather follow a blowhard entertainer who has had three divorces and a drug problem (who also avoided Vietnam) than a four-star general who spent his life serving his country. “Bush 41 cares about decorum and protocol,” said an official in Bush I. “I’m sure he doesn’t appreciate Cheney acting out. He is giving the whole party a black eye just as Jeb is out there trying to renew the party.” W. admired Cheney’s brass (he used another word) but grew increasingly skeptical of him, the more he learned about foreign policy himself, and the more he got pulled into a diplomatic mode by Condi in the second term. There even were reports

of W. doing a funny Cheney imitation and that it dawned on him that Cheney and Rummy represented a scofflaw, paranoid Nixon cell within his White House. Cheney’s numskull ideas — he still loves torture (dubbed “13th-century” stuff by Bob Woodward), Gitmo and scaring the bejesus out of Americans — are not only fixed, they’re jejune. He has no coherent foreign policy viewpoint. He still doesn’t fathom that his brutish invasion of Iraq unbalanced that part of the world, empowered Iran and was a force multiplier for Muslims who hate America. He left our ports unsecured, our food supply unsafe, the Taliban rising and Osama on the loose. No matter if or when terrorists attack here — and they’re on their own timetable, not a partisan red/blue state timetable

News in brief High water forces Yampa River Core Trail closures Several seasonal closures of the Yampa River Core Trail are in effect because of the high-running waters of the Yampa River. The closed sections of the Core Trail are the 13th Street underpass, the railroad underpass upstream of Fetcher Pond and the U.S. Highway 40 underpass at Walton Creek. Additional closures are likely as stream flows continue to fluctuate.

County reminds drivers of registration late fee Effective June 1, new legislation will require Colorado motor vehicle owners to pay a late fee on delinquent registrations. The late fee will be assessed at $25 per month, up to

$100, and will apply to renewals past the 30-day grace period, expired temporary permits, new vehicles not registered within 60 days of purchase and vehicles not registered within 90 days of residency in Colorado. State law requires vehicle registrations to be current whether or not the vehicle is used. Call the county’s motor vehicle department at 870-5412 for more information.

No Steamboat Brewers’ Festival planned this year The Steamboat Brewers’ Festival will not happen this fall, and the event’s future is uncertain, said festival founder and organizer Jody Anagnos. Anagnos decided to take the year off from the festival at the beginning of 2009 because of a shaky economy, she said.

The Brewers’ Festival can cost upward of $25,000 to produce each year, Anagnos said. That amount can be tricky for Anagnos’ production company — a “one-man show” called Blue Dog Events — to come up with from year to year, she said. The Brewers’ Festival Web site states the event will come back Sept. 18, 2010, but Anagnos said Thursday she did not know whether the event would continue. Support and collaboration from local businesses could help the festival find new life, she said. Anagnos founded the Steamboat Brewers’ Festival in 2007 with the vision of creating a family-friendly beer tasting geared toward locals. The event brought breweries from across the country back to town after the Steamboat Mountain Brewfest was discontinued in 2005.

Some council members call for re-bidding of base area projects Brandon Gee

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Construction of a Burgess Creek diversion and a large public plaza on the north edge of the Steamboat Ski Area base is scheduled to begin Aug. 3. The project represents the first visible manifestations of efforts to bring the creek above ground through the base area and to construct an all-seasons promenade around the immediate ski base. Plans for the diversion structure and plaza, which will be constructed between Slopeside Grill and the Thunderhead redevelopment site, were discussed Thursday during a meeting of the Urban Renewal Area Advisory Committee. It was URAAC’s first meeting since Steamboat Springs City Council approved moving forward with a $12.5 million bond issue to continue Urban Renewal Authority’s work on public improvements at the base area. According to the sched-

ule provided by Redevelopment Coordinator Joe Kracum, design work on the full promenade and Burgess Creek improvements will begin in July, with a construction start date scheduled for April 12, 2010, one day after Steamboat Ski Area is expected to close next season. The construction of the diversion structure is a less glamorous precursor to the larger projects, but URAAC members were excited Thursday about the possibilities for its accompanying plaza. Members noted that its location between Slopeside and the future Thunderhead project will make it a logical point on the promenade that could be accentuated by a sculpture, fire pit or other feature to draw people to the area. “This is going to be a really nice space over there,” URAAC member Jon Wade said. There was consensus on URAAC to move a large trash compactor and recycling bins now located outside Slopeside

to an area just south of the entrance to the Torian Plum parking garage. URAAC member Chuck Porter described the garage entrance area as more utilitarian and appropriate for garbage collection; the committee and other city officials quickly dispensed with other options that left the compacter and bins near the future plaza. “This is the front porch,” Porter said. “That should be an area of animation and activity, not trash.” URAAC also discussed whether to include a snowmelt system on the promenade and how it would be powered, but its members made no decisions. This year’s construction and design work will be conducted by Duckels Construction and Wenk Associates, respectively. The two firms have been with See Base area, page 15

The group Reaching Everyone Preventing Suicide has put on fundraising garage sales before, but they haven’t been quite this big. On Saturday, the foundation — which works with Steamboat Mental Health Center and focuses on education, counseling and intervention related to suicide and depression — will partner with NRC Broadcasting for the first time to put on the REPS Great American Garage Sale. The event is from 8 a.m. to noon in the Steamboat Springs Middle

School parking lot and includes a live radio broadcast by KFMU and booths operated by local retailers and food vendors. The partnership came together when REPS became a client of NRC Broadcasting, said NRC office manager Lee Smith. “They have done this garage sale in the past couple of years, and it’s been mildly successful for them, just raising enough money for them to kind of skate by,” Smith said. NRC Broadcasting has worked with REPS through the planning, promotion and execution stages of putting on the garage sale, she said.

Messer worked for 29 years as a university and seminary president before taking up the cause of global AIDS education, prevention, care and treatment. He’s been involved with the cause for about 20 years, he said. Messer was president

at Dakota Wesleyan University when Matthias Krier, pastor at UMC, was a student there. “When he was no longer president, he took on this task — mission, if you will — to awaken the Christian church on the global crisis of AIDS. There are so many people who are just totally unaware to what’s going on in the world,” Krier said. Messer has written 15 books, including several about his experiences working with people affected by AIDS in his travels to nations such as South Africa, Kenya, Malawi, India and Singapore.

State’s energy reserves vital Geologist highlights importance of gas, uranium deposits CRAIG DAILY PRESS

CRAIG

There are a few unmistakable realities in the world. One of them, Vince Matthews thinks, is that increasing energy demands are unstoppable. Another is that Colorado has a wealth of mineral and energy reserves that could be vital in meeting national and global appetites. Matthews, Colorado state geologist and director of Colorado Geological Survey, presented his views Thursday morning during the first seminar of the Fueling Energy Summit 2009, hosted by Yampa Valley Partners at the Holiday Inn of Craig. “Every part of the world is increasing its use of electricity and natural resources,” he said. “In Colorado, we’re extremely rich in mineral resources and energy.” Matthews added that it would not surprise him if the federal government, which owns 36 percent of the state, became more interested in harvesting local resources as the world depletes its current energy supply. “As the pain increases in the east, the pressure to develop these resources (in Colorado) is going to be immense,” he said.

��

Which means more coal and, likely, more uranium to feed nuclear plants. “People like to think of coal as a 19th century fuel,” Matthews said. “It’s not. It’s a 20th century fuel and a 21st century fuel.” The United States gets about 93 percent of its energy from coal, oil, uranium and natural gas, he said. The other 7 percent comes from renewables in the following amounts: 2.5 percent from hydroelectric, 3.6 percent from biomass, 0.3 percent from wind, 0.3 percent from geothermal and 0.1 percent from solar. “You can see, as a nation, if we were to increase our solar and wind 10 times over in the next five years, which would be a tremendous accomplishment, we would not be very far along,” Matthews said. Pam Kiely, who attended the seminar as a representative from Environment Colorado, a Denver-based environmental lobby group, said Matthew’s view is shortsighted. It is true, Kiely said, that renewables are a small fraction of the country’s energy supply. But investment in those resources is not a lost cause. “He was looking very much at what we need, and what we have today, as opposed to thinking more aggressively in a pro�� "Thanks to Stephanie for getting my ankle back in shape for soccer" -Hayley Brookshire

��

gressive direction,” Kiely said. The country needs to multiply its use of renewables by 50 times, she added. “It’s something we can achieve with a very targeted approach, like putting the man on the moon,” she said. Colorado has gone from “zero to 60” in the past three years, she said. Energy providers in the state are on track to exceed their target of acquiring 10 percent of their power from renewable sources by 2020.

Twenty-three years ago, doctors Thomas Told and Neil McCandless, and Mike Bauman, of the Division of Wildlife, were looking for a challenge. They decided to ride their bikes from Craig to Maybell, a 30-mile trip that took them two hours and 45 minutes. They said it was the best way to see Moffat County in the spring, said Penny Bricker, of Craig Parks and Recreation. Participation has increased every year of the “Where the Hell’s Maybell” ride, which boasted 70 people on that first May morning in 1986.

��

Bricker said this year’s bike ride could draw 200 to 300 people if the weather is nice. “It’s really for anybody,” Bricker said. “Kids and their parents go, and we even had someone do it on roller skates last year. We also have biking groups from Cheyenne (Wyo.), and Steamboat use it as a warm-up for Ride the Rockies.” The ride will depart at 7 a.m. Saturday from Northwest Storage, but if you want to avoid that first big hill, Bricker said you can meet at Western Knolls at 7:30 a.m. Participants should arrive early enough to sign a waiver and should bring along water, weather-appropriate clothing and sunblock. A station setup at the

halfway point in Lay will provide orange juice and first aid supplies. The ride culminates in Maybell Park with a $6 all-you-caneat breakfast of pancakes, eggs, sausage, orange juice and coffee, provided by Moffat County Young Life. All proceeds will benefit Young Life and help send a group of youth members to summer camp. From Maybell, participants can ride their bikes back to Craig or arrange a ride for $5. “Where the Hell’s Maybell” helps promote outdoor fitness and wellness while giving participants an opportunity to take in the natural beauty of Moffat County.

erage immediately. “Statutorily, Oak Creek does not have to field a police department. Colorado Revised Statutes clearly states that we are not obligated to have a police department. The sheriff is obligated to provide crime control to the entire county,” he said. “We pay county taxes.” Even if the town reached

an agreement with Wall, Police Commissioner and Trustee Chuck Wisecup said a federal COPS grant application he completed on behalf of the town would supply the funding to hire the town’s own police force for three years, if granted. According to the stipulations of the grant, the town would have to retain whatever officers hired for an additional year after the grant expired, or face exclusion from

COPS grants for several years. The force would be boosted to three employees if the grant is approved, with a chief hired at $60,000 and two officers at $45,000 apiece, plus insurance and benefits. The community service officer would join the police staff if the grant is approved. — To reach Zach Fridell, call 871-4208 or e-mail zfridell@steamboatpilot.com

Commissioners offer feedback for 700 Planning continued from 6 trial zones to 50 percent of a project’s total floor area. During public comment, Mark Halvorson said limiting home sizes in areas zoned for industrial use was a mistake because those areas provide an affordable housing option for local businesspeople. He suggested limiting residential unit sizes to 50 percent of total floor

area, too, rather than imposing a blanket limitation on square footage. “There’s so many people who are using them as housing,” Halvorson said. “It meets a great need.” Leeson said the intent was not to eliminate live-work opportunities but to limit them and protect the character of industrial zones. “We do not want to allow

very large, four- to five-bedroom homes,” Leeson said. Planning commissioners also provided feedback to the proposed Steamboat 700 project seeking annexation into city limits, discussing several aspects of its annexation application including its affordable housing plan and infrastructure phasing plan. — To reach Brandon Gee, call 871-4210 or e-mail bgee@steamboatpilot.com

Support from the radio group was sparked by past fundraising events and was somewhat unexpected, said Ronna Autrey, suicide prevention coordinator for REPS. “KFMU somehow saw that in the paper, and they contacted us and said, ‘Why don’t we combine forces?’ which is great for us because it gave us much more coverage,” Autrey said. Proceeds from the sale will go toward funding programs provided by Reaching Everyone Preventing Suicide. Services

include a suicide survivor support group, bi-polar depression support group, an emergency on-call therapist and in-school depression awareness programs. REPS also helps lead Routt County sessions of the Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training program, a two-day course offered free to the public that covers signs of depression, suicide warning signs and intervention techniques. Suicide numbers are high in Routt County, Autrey said. In 2008, there were nine suicides and 118 attempts, she said. REPS works to educate com-

munity members about depression and suicide. As of Thursday morning, about 35 garage sale spaces were taken, Autrey said. The parking lot is big enough to hold 50 additional vendors, Smith said. Anyone who wants to sell their stuff at the event can register for a spot in advance or show up Saturday morning ready to sell. “It’s a great way for people to get rid of their stuff and for us to raise some funds, and it’s all in one place,” Autrey said.

Kracum said it’s too late to re-bid this year’s projects if the city wants to see construction this year, but he said he will work with council members on a process to satisfy their concerns. Kracum has expressed support for the existing team, noting that it works well together and produces good work on

time and at a reasonable cost. He said Duckels’ construction costs have gone down each of the past two years. “I’ll do what I’m directed to do,” Kracum said. “What I do know is the cost, the quality and the schedule has been excellent.” Kracum said Steamboat should be concerned with getting the best value, not just the best price.

Despite the demands of the work, both specialists said the best reward is to see their teams do well in competition. After days of working with the snowboardcross team, treating sore muscles and attending early morning practices, Irish watched her team stand on the podium to receive the sport’s top honors. Under the lights, U.S. snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis took first place, and several of the men’s snowboarders also took podium spots at the World Cup event in Austria this January. “It’s exciting to be there with them,” said Irish. “When one of our athletes wins, it’s great just to be there and know that you’ve helped them.” While the trainers and therapists work out of the spotlight, their specialized treatment and medical expertise is key for the teams, said Richard Quincy, medical director for the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association.

Yeik remembered being at a race this season in Alaska during the volcanic eruption of Mount Redoubt and a blizzard. “There were 103 inches of snowfall over those few days,” she said. “It was just crazy to see ash and snow falling at the same time.

On-call 24/7. World travel required. Must be willing to be cold. That could be the job description for Eagle resident Brandie Yeik, an athletic trainer with Howard Head Sports Medicine Center who just spent the ski season traveling with the U.S. women’s alpine ski team. This year, Yeik’s work with the team took her to Italy, Switzerland, France, Germany, New Zealand and Alaska, as well as snagged her front row seats to watch U.S. skiers such as Sarah Schleper and Lindsey Vonn come screaming across finish lines. “As an athletic trainer, I could not think of a better job,” said Yeik, who works in Howard Head’s Eagle clinic during the off-season. “I am traveling and working with professional athletes half the year, and the other half is spent working with a world-renowned physical therapy clinic. “I don’t think any other country’s ski team has such a strong network of physical therapists and athletic trainers working with them.”

Head clinic, which sponsors the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association, sends to work with the teams. Their jobs include helping racers prevent injuries, attending practices, massaging and stretching the athletes, and being available for any other medical problems. It isn’t uncommon to be woken up at 3 a.m. if an athlete isn’t feeling well, Yeik said. The job also can involve four or five hours on the mountain for practices and eight or nine hours on race days. “It can be some long hours,” she admitted, laughing. “But I have boot warmers.” The job takes the therapists around the world. Yeik said she’s been able to tour places that were on her dream list, including Venice and Milan. Edwards resident Shannon Irish, a physical therapist who worked with the U.S. snowboardcross team at several World Cup events, made her first visits to Japan, Korea and Chile this season. Working with the team adds variety to the job and is a good balance for time spent working in the clinic, Irish said. The teams “are lots of fun to work with, and it’s so different from working in the clinic, which I also enjoy, but this really adds variety,” she said. “I mainly snowboard, too, so it’s really interesting for me.” The job also requires adapt-

This summer in Vail, you may be encouraged to ride your bike or take the bus to the Teva Mountain Games. Or you might be served a grilled rib on an ecofriendly paper plate made of recycled materials at the Lamb Cook Off. The town of Vail, as part of its environmental sustainability program, is requiring event organizers to meet certain green requirements this summer. The program aims to lessen the events’ impact on the environment, as well as educate those who come to the events, said Kristen Bertuglia, the town of Vail’s environmental sustainability coordinator.

“These events can have such a major impact in such a short period of time,” she said, pointing to the massive amounts of trash created during a weekend event, particularly the many bottles and plastic cups left from beverages. The requirements include providing recycling containers in all areas of the event, disposing of waste water into a sewer system, eliminating the use of Styrofoam, using eco-friendly utensils, discouraging the use of plastic cups and bottles and enforcing a no-idling policy for vehicles at the event. People attending the events also should be encouraged to bike, walk, carpool or take public transportation, officials said. The organizers must meet the requirements to receive their

event permit. Many events already are taking their own steps to be more eco-friendly. Taste of Vail used all compostable serving utensils, plates and cups. The Lamb Cook Off turned all their plastic event banners into reusable shopping bags. Organizers for the upcoming Teva Mountain Games also are working on some green improvements, including a possible plan to offset the event’s carbon footprint, said event spokeswoman Shelley Woodworth. The town also offers a twopage checklist of suggested green improvements to event organizers, including using vendors and companies with environmental policies, not using plastic bags and using linens instead of paper products.

The terminated employees included President Jay Ufer, Vail Resorts said. “The terminations were prompted in part by the existence of ongoing bonus, severance and contingent payment arrangements totaling $4 million for five employees,” Vail Resorts said in a statement. “These arrangements are with the former owner of CME and were not disclosed as required by the documents governing the acquisition.” Vail Resorts spokeswoman Kelly Ladyga declined to comment on the matter. The Broom-

he adamantly disagreed with Vail Resorts’ statement that there was a disclosure problem. He declined to comment further on the nature of the disagreement. “I think it’s a little bit sad that five people who have worked for CME for a total of 92 years were fired on the spot,” Frampton said.

State seizes Snowmass restaurant Department of Revenue says it’s owed $204,125, locks up on-mountain eatery Carolyn Sackariason

SNOWMASS

��

Colorado Department of Revenue agents on Wednesday seized the Ullrhof mid-mountain restaurant at Snowmass ski area for failing to pay state sales taxes, making it the second establishment at the resort to be shut down in less than a month. The Ullrhof, owned by Florida businessman Dan Branch and some partners, has failed to pay $204,125.22 in Colorado sales tax since November, according to Mark Couch, spokesman for the revenue department.

“The sales taxes they collect aren’t theirs to keep,” he said. “Customers are trusting that they will pay that to the state. It’s the customer’s money.” Kathy Scott, general manager of the Ullrhof, said that figure seems high because the restaurant was down 35 percent this season, not even reaching $1 million in sales. The Colorado sales tax rate is 3 percent. The state agency has made attempts to collect the money but to no avail. The Department of Revenue typically contacts a business multiple times to let it know a tax bill is due and to try to work out payment arrangements. “We don’t get to a point of

��

seizing a business without notifying the owner repeatedly,” Couch said. The Ullrhof’s unpaid tax is one of the highest Couch has seen and is based on estimates from monthly filings made by the business that didn’t include adequate payments. The figure doesn’t include employee withholding taxes, which Couch thinks have been paid. “All we know is that they didn’t pay sales tax,” he said. “We are reviewing other liabilities.” On April 15, the agency seized Nardi’s Restaurant on the Snowmass Mall, as well as the adjoining nightclub, Nardi’s Hideaway, owned by Peter Nardi. Nardi didn’t pay the $45,591.10 owed in state sales tax, and the contents of his restaurant and nightclub were auctioned off April 29. “It’s clear that the economy has had an impact,” Couch said, adding that typically if one business is seized by the Department of Revenue in a small resort town, others are motivated to

pay their delinquent bills. An auction of the Ullrhof’s contents is scheduled for 11 a.m. May 27 at a site yet to be determined, Couch said. Because the restaurant is located at the bottom of the Big Burn area on the mountain at 9,970 feet, it would be challenging to get interested buyers there. Town of Snowmass officials declined to comment about whether the Ullrhof owes back taxes to the local government because paperwork is being filed. Branch — whose father, Paul Branch, a part-time Snowmass Village resident, helped finance the purchase of the business and lease — has owned the restaurant since July 2007, according to Pat Drake, the former owner. The building is owned by the Aspen Skiing Co., and Branch and his partners still have about 15 years left on the lease, according to Dave Bellack, counsel for the Skico. He said he hadn’t been informed that Branch and his partners have defaulted on the rent payments, which are made at the beginning and end of the ski season.

Ex-Rocky staff plans Web news magazine Catherine Tsai

DENVER

After splitting from financial backers of one online news venture, some former staffers of the defunct Rocky Mountain News plan to launch an online news magazine this summer. The Rocky Mountain Independent would have free original content but would be supported by advertising and members who pay for benefits such as premium content and live chats, co-founder Steve Foster said. Content would come from a staff of about a dozen, plus freelancers and partner blogs

Rocky Mountain Independent: www.rmindependent.com

that would share content and revenue. “Our goal is to partner with the people of Denver and serve as the hub of an ongoing conversation between those who cover the news and those who read it,” Foster said. Foster said the Independent will try to fill a void left by the closure of the Rocky Mountain News. The E.W. Scripps Co. closed the newspaper after its Feb. 27 edition, citing losses that reached $16 million last year.

Bill to affect contract talks If passed, locked-out workers could collect unemployment Colleen Slevin

20466689

��

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER

As union representatives and grocery store chains try to negotiate new contracts, Gov. Bill Ritter must decide whether to sign a bill that could affect the balance of power in such talks. The measure (House Bill 1170) passed by the Legislature would allow workers who are locked out by their employers to collect unemployment ben-

��

But the union argues it’s easy for stores to claim a defensive lockout under the law and difficult for unions to disprove them. The governor has until June 5 — 30 days since lawmakers adjourned — to decide whether to sign the bill or veto it. If he takes no action, the bill would automatically become law. Ritter spokesman Evan Dreyer said Thursday that the governor is still taking input before making a final decision. Ritter stunned fellow Democrats when he vetoed a bill that would have made it easier for unions to organize in 2007, his first year in office. But then he later cleared the way to allow collective bargaining with state employees, drawing criticism from Republicans. The UCFW lobbied to pass the lockout bill and much of the debate surrounding it centered on whether it would effect the contract talks now underway between the union and King Soopers, City Market, Safeway and Albertsons. The union originally wanted it to take effect immediately upon signature. At first, lawmakers moved out the effective date to 2010 to make sure it wouldn’t affect the current talks but then decided to make it July 1 instead.

efits. They’re not automatically eligible for such benefits now because of a law passed in response to a clash between the United Food and Commercial Workers and grocery stores in 1996. Then, as now, the chains coordinated during contract talks. When King Soopers workers went on strike in 1996, Safeway locked out its workers in support. The state paid more than $5 million in unemployment benefits to the Safeway workers despite the protests of the company. The Colorado Supreme Court upheld the move but in 1999, at the urging of retailers, state lawmakers agreed to change the law to make a distinction between offensive and defensive lockouts. Under the current law, a company can call for a defensive lockout to protect its property from vandalism or if a strike has been called against another company it is coordinating with during negotiations. Unemployment benefits are not paid out. An offensive lockout occurs when a company locks out its workers for some other reason, such as a tactic to encourage workers to accept a contract offer. Workers would get unemployment benefits then.

Chrysler targets 789 dealers to close Tom Krisher and Kimberly S. Johnson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT

In tiny Millerstown, Pa., the owner of the only car dealership in town found out Thursday he was on Chrysler’s hit list — one of 789 across the nation that the troubled automaker wants to eliminate. “It’s really, really a blow,” Jeff Potter, whose family owns the dealership, said after hearing the news from a customer who spotted the closing list on the Internet. “When you talk about being here 34 years, it’s my life.” Chrysler disclosed in a bankruptcy filing Thursday that it

wants to close a quarter of its dealers in a matter of weeks, a strategy that might help save the company but would wipe out thousands of jobs. With General Motors expected to announce it will close about 1,100 dealerships, the crisis in the auto industry is reaching the front doors of Americans who live far from Detroit. Millerstown Chrysler will try to survive by selling used cars. Otherwise, the town of 700 will lose one of its largest employers and a major source of tax revenue. And in other communities that depend on dealers for everything from newspaper advertising to Little League sponsor-

ships, the ripple effect could be devastating. Dealerships on the closing list are in every state but Alaska. The filing lists 12 Colorado dealerships including Denver, Wheat Ridge, Northglenn, Parker, Craig, Longmont, Fort Morgan, Durango, La Junta, Montrose and Delta. The National Automobile Dealers Association says about 40,000 people work at the affected dealerships. Many will keep their jobs, but their dealerships will be left to sell only the other brands in their showrooms, or used cars. Chrysler said in its filing that sales are too low at many of the dealerships. Half its dealers account for 90 percent of

its sales, and the company is trying to cut poor performers that compete for the same customers. Dealers learned their fates in letters Thursday morning. The effects will go much further than their bottom lines. Bart Wolf, the general sales manager at Wolf’s Motor Car Co. in Plymouth, Wis., estimated he donated an average of $10,000 a year for local high school and middle school events, supporting band trips and athletic activities. “The way things are going now, that could be cut down to under $2,000,” he said. “It’s hard to say no to anyone, but this could make things tough.”

Pelosi says CIA misled her on waterboarding House Speaker Nancy Pelosi bluntly accused the CIA on Thursday of misleading her and other lawmakers about its use of waterboarding during the Bush administration, escalating a controversy grown to include both political parties, the spy agency and the White House. “It is not the policy of this agency to mislead the United States Congress,” responded CIA spokesman George Little, although he refused to an-

Pelosi also vehemently disputed Republican charges that she was complicit in the use of waterboarding, and she suggested the GOP was trying to shift the focus of public attention away from the Bush administration’s use of techniques that she and President Barack Obama have described as torture. Coincidentally, Pelosi spoke as the CIA rejected former Vice President Dick Cheney’s request to release secret memos judging whether waterboarding and other harsh techniques had succeeded in securing valuable intelligence information. CIA spokesman Paul Gim-

swer directly when asked whether Pelosi’s accusation was accurate. But the House’s top Democrat, speaking at a news conference in the Pelosi Capitol, was unequivocal about a CIA briefing she received in the fall of 2002. “We were told that waterboarding was not being used,” the speaker said. “That’s the only mention, that they were not using it. And we now know that earlier they were.” She suggested the CIA release the briefing material.

Bank, technology stocks lure in bargain hunters THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK

Investors put aside jitters about the economy to do a little bargain hunting. Stocks increased Thursday after three mostly down days as traders bought beaten-down financial and technology stocks. The buying was subdued after a worse-than-expected weekly

unemployment report added to concerns that the economic recovery might not come as quickly as hoped. The market is down sharply this week as investors worry that the optimism that fed a massive spring rally might have been premature. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index still is 32 percent above the 12-year low it hit in early March. The Dow Jones industrial

average ended Thursday up 46 points, but lagged gains by the S&P 500 index and Nasdaq composite index. Financial stocks increased after declining earlier in the week and lifted the KBW Bank Index 3.7 percent. Technology shares gained after software maker CA said its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings increased as cost-cutting compensated for a drop in revenue.

The advance came as the market grappled with another reminder of the strained job market. The Labor Department’s weekly data showed more workers filing for unemployment benefits. New claims increased to 637,000, above what economists had forecast. The overall number of people seeking unemployment benefits grew faster than expected, increasing to 6.6 million, while

��

continuing claims hit a 15th straight weekly record. Analysts had expected some rebound after stocks tumbled Wednesday, sending the S&P 500 index down 2.7 percent. The market was shaken by a Commerce Department report that retail sales declined unexpectedly in April for the second straight month and by a separate report that showed home foreclosures increasing.

The final evidence didn’t come until 15 minutes after Soroco High School junior Alex Estes crossed the finish line in the Class 2A boys 1,600-meter

close calls, last-second rallies and heart-stopping action. “I’m excited,” Hayden coach Barbara Manzanares said. “We got some momentum going, and we have some great things going headed into the next day.” No performance Thursday was bigger than Estes’ in the

long jump. Estes placed second in the event and joined classmate Matt Watwood, who was sixth in the shot put, in medaling on the meet’s first day. Estes’ leap underscored a day of last-moment magic. Third at See Track, page 29

Two of Steamboat’s brightest and best hopes for winning medals at the 2010 Olympics were honored as U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association Athletes of the Year on Tuesday. Steamboat’s Todd Lodwick was named the Nordic Combined Athlete of the Year, while former Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club athlete Ryan St. Onge was named the Freestyle Athlete

of the Year. Lodwick put together a banner year after coming out of retirement. The veteran skier took over the World Championships, winning gold medals in the mass start and Gundersen events. St. Onge was nearly as impressive. He finished second in the aerial World Cup standings and highlighted his season with a win at the World Championships. The two will receive their awards today at the USSA Congress in Park City, Utah.

Coach Bayer honored Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club Nordic combined ability coach Martin Bayer received the Nordic Combined Domestic Coach of the Year Award from the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association. Bayer, who also won in 2007, helped coach Taylor Fletcher, Brett Denney and Nick Hendrickson to the 2010 Nordic combined team. “I think the main thing is his dedication,” said Gary Crawford, the Winter Sports

Club’s head ability coach who works closely with Bayer. “It’s his unrelenting dedication to the kids. That’s what we’re all here for is the kids. He puts in an inordinate amount of time.” Bayer joined the SSWSC Nordic staff in 2006. A twotime Olympian, Bayer moved to the United States from Slovakia and started coaching in Ishpeming, Mich., before eventually landing in Steamboat. — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

Cole Worsley’s modesty is rivaled only by his competitiveness. So while the Steamboat Springs High School senior, who swims for the Moffat County High School swim team, talks about how fast other swimmers are or how his times aren’t where he wants them to be, there’s a subtle but noticeable tone in his voice hinting that big things are on the horizon. Worsley takes to the pool today and Saturday at the State Swimming Championships at Mountain View High School in Loveland. The prelims start at 4 p.m. today, and the finals begin at 3:30 p.m. Saturday. Worsley enters the pool as the only defending champion in Class 4A — he won the 100-yard butterfly last year — and with aspirations and a real chance at coming away with two state titles. “He’s pretty driven to do his own thing,” said Patti Worsley, Cole’s mom and Moffat County’s swim coach. “I can say things to him as a coach, and I can say things to him as a mom. Sometimes, it’s hard to differentiate between the two. He knows what he wants. He wants to win. Cole will do whatever it takes.” Judging by his body of work, Cole has a legitimate shot to come away from the weekend as a dual champion. He is ranked first in the 50 freestyle with a time of 21.96 seconds — far from his personal best time of 20.6. In the 100 butterfly, he is ranked fifth with a time of 53.93, but he has swam a 49.9 in the past. “The key is just going all out,” Cole said. “When you die, you just keep going. You have to fight the battle.” See Swimming, page 29

Matt Gadbois will head to Grand Junction next year, hoping to extend his tennis career with Mesa State College. Gadbois spent last season in Demorest, Ga., where he played singles and doubles for the Division III Piedmont College in the Great South Athletic Conference. He was named the team’s most valuable player, but the team struggled last season and finished with a 1-10 record. “I made the choice to leave Piedmont midway through the school year,” Gadbois said. “I’m stoked to play for coach Dan MacDonald. … I’m excited to make this move, and we will just have to wait and see what happens.” Gadbois said he is looking forward to a change and the chance to fight for a spot with Mesa State next season. Mesa has about twice the enrollment of Piedmont and plays a tougher, Division II schedule. Gadbois, a former Steamboat Springs doubles player, expects to have to fight for a spot with the traveling team next season in Grand Junction. “I know they have 10 new recruits at Mesa, so it’s not going to be easy,” Gadbois said.

Krista Tomke and Aspen Zabel got the Tigers off to a competitive start, but a late charge by Calla Manzanares and a clutch anchor leg from Delanie VeDepo helped the team step into eighth place and a medal. The team finished with a time of 10 minutes, 58.76 seconds, its best of the season. “It’s a big deal,” Zabel said after the race, savoring the thought of a medal. “It’s amazing. That was our best race.” Maybe the only performance that didn’t leave hearts pounding was Watwood’s, who opened the competition with a good throw and rode it to his first state medal. His toss of 45 feet, 8 inches, was just 2 inches shy of fifth place.

Top 8 teams in prelims qualify for finals Swimming continued from 27

Cole said his focus is on getting through today’s prelims first and then focusing on Saturday’s finals. It’s an interesting balance, he said. Although he doesn’t have a lane preference and admits that being the top qualifier can cause some mental hurdles, all he wants is chance against the field Saturday. A benefit he’ll have will be the swimsuit he wears. All year, Cole has swam in a Speedo, but for Saturday and potentially today, he’ll wear one of his brother Blake’s suits.

What: State Swimming Championships Where: Mountain View High School in Loveland When: Preliminary rounds at 4 p.m. today; finals at 3:30 p.m. Saturday

Blake just finished up his swimming career with the University of Denver. “First of all, he has to get through to the finals,” Patti Worsley said. “It’s hard to say. There is such a difference now with all the suits now. It really can change the way you swim. But I expect he’ll do pretty well.” Cole also will swim the 200and 400-yard freestyle relays

with teammates John Kirk, Chance Peterson and Charlie Griffiths. All three will be making their debuts at the state meet and will hope to qualify for Saturday’s finals or semifinals of the events. The top eight teams from prelims qualify for the finals, with the next eight qualifying for the semifinals. “For them to get where they are is a huge accomplishment,” Patti Worlsey said about the relay squad. “They worked really hard to get here.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

last year’s state meet, he qualified for the finals again but sat mired in fourth place. He then scratched on the first two of his three finals jumps. He could only watch as a pair of competitors soared past his mark, dropping him even further in the standings. Finally, on his last jump, he soared well past his previous best and, with a blast of sand, into second. His final mark was 20 feet, 6 inches. “I was moving my mark back 1 1/2 steps, but on the last one, I moved it back two steps, just to be safe,” Estes said. “I knew I was jumping pretty good; I knew I could jump that far. “I knew I could. I’d have been really mad if I hadn’t.” The performance helped lift the Soroco boys into a tie for second place after the meet’s first day. The team has 12 points, tied with Hi-Plains and behind Sedgwick County’s 23. Later, the boys 1,600-relay team, with Estes, Cody Miles, Ryan Tibbetts and David Strait,

managed to grab the final slot in Saturday’s finals. The team finished with a time of 3:36.34, ahead of 10th-place Merino at 10:36.66. The Soroco girls team cut things equally close. Lauryn Bruggink, Traci Schlegel, Ceanna Rossi and Sarajane Rossi ran for the Rams and qualified with a time of 1:51.86, the eighth-best time of the nine team’s selected to move on. Hayden had its fair share of close calls, too. None was closer than Jake Walker’s 200meter run. Advancing in the 200 helped the speedy junior solidify a perfect day. He easily qualified in the 100 meters — he’ll enter that race’s finals with the fourth-fastest time. He also made the finals as part of two relay teams, joining Coy Letlow, Billy Zehner and Braylin Wertenberger in the 400and 800-meter relays. The Tigers recorded top-five times in both races. But in the 200, Walker struggled. He tightened up as he rounded the corner and finished sixth in his nine-racer heat.

Marti Hamilton, Routt County’s purchasing agent, works on behalf of the Routt County Board of Commissioners, so most contracts require their approval. The county, like other entities, is cutting its budget, she said. The county is trying to make its materials last. “I’m getting an awful lot of calls from people who want to open doors, and I appreciate that,” Hamilton said. Local municipalities publish requests for proposals and bids in the legal classifieds section of the Steamboat Pilot & Today, so businesses should keep an eye out there, she said. Hamilton encouraged companies to get in touch with her if they’re interested in selling to the county. “Everyone is welcome to bid, and we actually would like that,” she said. The city of Steamboat Springs handles its contracts in a similar fashion, said Anne Small, purchasing/contracts and risk manager. Most contracts are subject to the approval of City Manager Jon Roberts, she said. Small reminded people that businesses must follow city contract rules and regulations. Some projects are funded partly by federal, state or nonprofit

entities, she said. That means companies must comply with any regulations those agencies attach, Small said. “That sometimes makes the process of acquiring a good or service a little more complicated,” she said. Jamie Kingsbury helps put together projects for the U.S. Forest Service. She noted that some businesses had been upset that out-of-town companies received logging projects funded with government stimulus money. Those went to Small Business Administration 8(a) businesses, or economically and socially disadvantaged companies, because that was the only way to get them bid in the seven days required, Kingsbury said. She suggested that businesses check out whether they are eligible for that program. Businesses owned by women also receive a boost in government contracting, she said. Kingsbury encouraged companies to get on the Forest Service’s list of potential contractors. They can do so by contacting Dawn Hull at 307745-2388, she said. “If Dawn doesn’t know you exist, you might not get information about a contract that’s happening,” Kingsbury said.
