A stimulus success story Rocky Mountain Youth Corps hires, spends locally with federal dollars Brandon Gee

tracts in the Routt National Forest went to companies in California and Florida instead of local loggers; Pavlik said the order he received from RMYC renewed his faith in the federal stimulus legislation. “It raised my hopes that some of this money will go where it’s doing the most good,” Pavlik said. “It’s wonderful. It came at the right time for me. … What RMYC has done for me with this purchase was allow me to stock more inventory.” Pavlik said he typically sells about

Rocky Mountain Youth Corps has bolstered its staff with local faces and spent about $30,000 at community businesses with the help of $254,000 it received in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds. RMYC received the funds through the U.S. Forest Service, which contracted with Colorado Youth Corps Association to help mitigate the impacts of the Rocky Mountain West’s mountain pine beetle epidemic. RMYC has yet to put a crew

Among its stimulus purchases, RMYC has placed a $16,000 order for 20 steel chain saws with Precision Sharpening and Repair Service in Steamboat.

One method police are using to combat underage drinking is the voluntary keg tag registration program. Police are able to track tagged kegs back to the purchasers, potentially holding them liable for providing alcohol to minors.

decline in applications comes after companies requested a record 1,470 permits in March — nearly double the previous one-month record of 784 — to beat the April 1 deadline. Applications submitted before that date will be reviewed under the previous rules. The new rules require regulators to give more consideration to the environment, wildlife and public health and safety when approving oil and gas development.

Energy company officials say state regulators didn’t fully consider the effects of the new rules on their operations and finances. They also worry it may take longer for permits to be approved. Meg Collins, president of the Colorado Oil & Gas Association, said Friday that the companies wanted to file before April 1 because the “industry still doesn’t know fully what impact the rules will have on the permitting timeframes.”

Police call ordinance successful Capt. Rae: Social host law fixes ambiguities in battle to curb underage drinking Zach Fridell

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Steamboat Springs Police Capt. Joel Rae said although the city’s new social host ordinance may not bring in a huge caseload, its real success will be clarifying vague state laws to help officers battle underage drinking. The Steamboat Springs City Council approved the local statute Tuesday, after multiple revisions and months of on-again, off-again public debate in Centennial Hall. Rae said he expects the new law to be used less than 10 times throughout a given year, primarily at parties with underage drinking. But he and local prosecutors, including 14th Judicial District Attorney Elizabeth Oldham, said the city’s social host ordinance repairs loopholes and ambiguity in Colorado law, ultimately helping local police and attorneys in the ongoing effort

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Aunt Sarah Aunt Sarah uttered a strange little cry of joy. “It is Elizabeth! Sal!” she cried. “You’ve solved the mystery! How did you do it?” “Shadow was trying to get her out all the time,” said Sally. “He knew! He knew where Elizabeth was! He got the bonnet out!” She stroked his fur. “Oh, Shadow, you’re wonderful!” Shadow blinked and purred, and Sally told her aunt about the dream and how she had figured out what had happened. “Sal, this is just amazing!” said her aunt. She was holding Elizabeth out and smiling at her, just as if she knew her. “Well, old Elizabeth,” she was saying, “we’ll just have to wash your dress and iron it, and then we’ll brush your hair, and you’ll be just like your old self. And of course,” she added, handing the doll back to Sally, “she’s yours.” “She is?” whispered Sally, looking down in wonder at Elizabeth cradled in her arms. Elizabeth seemed to be smiling up at her. “She’s mine?” “Of course,” said her aunt. “I know that the other Sally would want you to have her.” “If only she could know,” said Sally, glancing over at the broken mirror. “I think she does,” said Aunt Sarah. Yes, thought Sally. Maybe she does. Somehow. “I think Elizabeth really is a little magic,” she said. “So do I,” said her aunt. “Come, let’s go down now.” “But the mirror,” said Sally. “Never mind,” said her aunt. “It doesn’t matter. We’ll clean it up later. We’ll take care of Elizabeth first. She’s been waiting a long, long time.” “The bonnet!” said Sally. She took it from her pocket and placed it on Elizabeth’s head. Then they went off down the stairs together. “May I show her to Emily?” Sally asked. “Run along,” said her aunt, smiling. “Sally, you’re better!” cried Emily, when she had come to the window in response to

Sally’s excited call. Sally nodded. For a moment, she could not speak. “What are you holding behind your back, Sally?” Sally brought the doll out and held her up. “Elizabeth!” shrieked Emily. “You found her! How? Where?” “Tom hid her in the attic,” said Sally, “in the space under the roof. Shadow and I found her! And Emily, you helped!” “I did?” gasped Emily. “Yes, that time in the sleigh, when you said that maybe the cats knew what happened. It started me thinking. And then you found the bonnet!” Emily beamed with pride. She came along to help wash and iron Elizabeth’s clothes. When they were done, they took Elizabeth up to the bedroom and com-

pared her with the doll in the picture. “She looks just the same,” said Sally. “Maybe even better,” said Emily. That night, Sally dreamed that she saw the other Sally. Sally held Elizabeth up and said, “I found her,” and the other Sally smiled and waved. “I’m happy now,” said the other Sally, and vanished. Sally woke with Elizabeth beside her on her pillow. “I’m happy, too,” she said to the little doll. “And I really think the other Sally does know now.” It seemed to her that Elizabeth was smiling just a little more than usual. Her mother and father came to get Sally that morning. She ran down the front path, clutching Elizabeth, and threw herself into their arms. Everyone was laughing and talking at once. Sally kept waving Elizabeth excitedly.

Aunt Sarah was waiting in the doorway with Shadow as they came up onto the porch. Sally’s mother ran to her and kissed her. “Aunt Sal!” she cried, hugging her. “Oh, Aunt Sal!” Sally stopped in astonishment and stared at them. “What did you say?” Her mother turned and smiled at her. “I said, ‘Aunt Sal.’ I haven’t seen Aunt Sal in years, and I’m so glad to see her!” “What’s the matter, Sally?” asked her father. For Sally was staring at her aunt. Aunt Sarah’s eyes were twinkling, and her lips were twitching a little, as if a smile was trying to get out. “But you’re Aunt Sarah!” she said. Her aunt nodded. “But my nickname was always Sal.” Sally stared some more. Then she said slowly, “You’re — you’re the other Sally! And

Elizabeth was yours! You knew about her, and about Mrs. Niminy Piminy—” Her aunt nodded. She was really smiling now. “Oh, Aunt Sarah!” cried Sally, and she rushed into her aunt’s arms, Elizabeth and all. “I love you,” she said, kissing her aunt’s cheek. “And I love you, Sal,” said her aunt. They all went into the parlor and talked and talked. The melodeon, of course, joined in from time to time. “And so,” said Sally’s father at last, “you’ll be selling the house and going back to California, will you? It looks as if Sally is going to miss you.” Aunt Sarah smiled and shook her head. “I’ve changed my mind.” They all looked at her. “You see,” she explained, “I really felt just terrible about selling this old place, and maybe having them tear it down, but there seemed to be no reason not to. Now there are lots of reasons,” she said, looking fondly over at Sally. “I love this house; it’s full of my memories. I’ll come here every summer, and go to California for the winter, if I feel like it. I’d like to have the garden fixed up, put all these shells along the paths again, and have the house painted. Yes, I’m staying. That is, if Sally and Elizabeth will come to visit me from time to time.” “Oh, Aunt Sarah,” whispered Sally. “I’m so glad!

Sweet Potato is scheduled to open Tuesday at its new spot, downstairs near Steaming Bean Coffee, owner Leslie Faulkner said. “It was a financial decision because this is a much more centralized location, but also the landlords are fabulous here on working with me on rent in the economy,” Faulkner said. “I could just not afford to stay where I was. It’s just a nice location, a nice little shopping center.” People are welcome to look around before the store officially opens, she said. Sweet Potato will be open seven days a week, and the phone number still is 879LOVE (5683), Faulkner said. She plans to focus on selling functional items such as bras.

Building an identity In case you didn’t notice, contractor Gary L. Wall is not the sheriff

wo navy Ford F-250s state the builder’s identity clearly enough: “Gary L. Wall (not the sheriff).” Gary Wall runs Associated Building and Remodeling — and jokingly dissociates himself from Routt County’s controversial sheriff. He added the STORY BY words to his BLYTHE pickups and trailer about TERRELL eight months ago. They also remind passersby that the fellow Wall works with, Ralph Fox, is “not the deputy.” “We obviously share the same name,” Wall said about himself and the other Gary Wall. “Business is one of the slowest times I’ve ever seen. I might as well share some notoriety if I can.” His wife, Teri Wall, said the words have drawn plenty of attention. “We get so many comments,” she said. “We get people laughing and looking and pointing.” Wall has been in building and remodeling since 1973, when he lived in Dallas. He also has lived in Utah and California. Wall made his way to Steamboat Springs in 1998, and he and Teri married in 2005. Wall plans to stick around, he said. “I don’t know if I’m going to heaven or hell, but I’m going there from here,” he said with a grin. Associated Building and Remodeling does mostly additions and repairs, Wall said. Fox, who isn’t the deputy, has worked with Wall for the past year. He was a cowboy in Meeker before moving to Steamboat. The two talk about becoming partners but are waiting for business to improve, Fox said. Sometimes, the signs don’t cut down the confusion, he said. “We’ve had people walk up and go, ‘Are you with the sheriff ?’” Fox said. “And I’m like, ‘No, I’m not with the sheriff. That’s why the sign reads not

the sheriff and not the deputy.’” Wall said he thought the sheriff joke would attract business along with laughs. He understands that people aren’t rolling in dough these days. “I’m not spending, either,” Wall said. “I’m squeezing that old penny till Mr. Lincoln screams.” Wall works out of his house on Arapahoe Lane. He keeps signs and banners with his

“not the sheriff” slogan in his basement office. He also has a “Gary Wall for Sheriff” sign he snagged after the other Wall was elected. “I stole it,” the builder admitted. “But I couldn’t resist.” He said he hadn’t met the sheriff but sometimes was tempted to knock on his door and say hello. Gary Wall the sheriff confirmed that he hadn’t met

Gary Wall the builder. He doesn’t mind the other’s stringent efforts not to trade on his name. “I’ve been told that he has that, and I have a sense of humor, so it doesn’t bother me at all,” the sheriff said. The two have that sense of humor in common, if little else. “If you can’t have fun in life, what’s the use of living?” the builder asked.

Steamboat Springs grocery shoppers won’t have to worry about a potential employee strike affecting the local Safeway and City Market stores — at least not yet. Managers at both local supermarkets said Saturday that their employees are part of separate bargaining units than the union threatening a strike on the Front Range this weekend. Contract negotiations for local Safeway and City Market employees will begin in the next couple of weeks, those managers said. Meanwhile, thousands of unionized grocery workers at Safeway are voting this weekend on whether to authorize a strike as contract talks continue, a decision that potentially could affect workers at the rival King Soopers. Contracts expired Saturday night for workers represented by United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7. The union says the sides still disagree on wages and pension benefits. King Soopers and Safeway have agreed that one chain can lock out its employees if workers at the other chain go on strike. The two chains also have accepted applications for temporary workers, if their employees walk out. All parties say they hope to reach contracts without a strike. King Soopers and Safeway have offered workers similar deals that include some raises and an increase in pension contributions, but the union says most workers will see no raise and cuts in pension benefits. Workers for King Soopers have proposed extending their contract while negotiations continue. Even without a strike, talks have been contentious, with the union filing complaints against all three grocers with the National Labor Relations Board. The board is reviewing the complaints, but that process could take weeks. Gov. Bill Ritter issued a statement Friday urging the sides to redouble their efforts in contract talks.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack’s decision to free up more money for operating loans could help farmers searching for credit after the failure of New Frontier Bank in Greeley. Sens. Michael Bennet and Mark Udall and Rep. Betsy Markey, all Colorado Democrats, urged Vilsack in a letter April 28 to transfer Farm Service Agency money from a guaranteed loan program into one that offers operating loans, so farmers can cover expenses this growing season. Bennet’s office received a letter Friday in which Vilsack said that on April 27, he authorized transferring unused, subsidized guaranteed loan funds to provide $110 million of direct operating loan funds and $143 million of unsubsidized guaranteed loan funds to ease demand for funds nationwide. Gov. Bill Ritter praised Vilsack’s decision Saturday.

“This loan funding will be a much needed boost for many of our smaller operations and family farms — at a critical time when they urgently need resources for the spring planting season,” Ritter said.

The cruise Zenaiva Cervantes booked was to stop in sun-drenched beach cities on the Mexican Riviera. The cruise she took? That landed her in Seattle, where she pulled her arms tightly to her chest as she debarked on a damp, 50-degree morning. “We wanted to relax in the warmth,” the 61-year-old Tijuana, Mexico, resident said in Spanish on Thursday. “If someone had told me I’d be in Seattle eight days ago, I wouldn’t have believed them.” At the peak of the swine flu outbreak, major cruise operators Carnival and Royal Caribbean Cruises — desperate to avoid passenger illness and lost revenue — decided to reroute Mexico voyages until mid-June. So even though fear has receded, once-sun-seeking passengers such as Cervantes are finding themselves in San Francisco, Seattle and Victoria, British Columbia, in Canada. Cruise companies are compensating passengers for the

switch with onboard credit plus vouchers for a future cruise. Passengers also had the choice to stay home and get a full refund, but most passengers are choosing to travel when they planned, cruise line officials said. What they’re losing in sunshine and tan lines, their new destinations are gaining in millions of dollars of business. In San Francisco, the 16 addition-

al swine flu-related landings will boost the year’s port traffic 31 percent and bring 49,000 new visitors, said Michael Nerney, San Francisco’s maritime marketing manager. Each call could mean $1 million in sales for city businesses and together, they’ll produce $500,000 in revenue for the port. “This is highly unusual — See Cruises, page 7A

OUR VIEW

Power to the people

t’s not every election cycle when we see multiple contested races for Yampa Valley Electric Association’s board of directors. And who can blame apathetic members of our regional electric co-op? Serving on the YVEA board is about as thankless and unrecognized as civic service can be. AT ISSUE As YVEA consumers and YVEA board co-op members, we therefore of directors should be encouraged to see two election contested races for the June 20 election. We hope the races elicit debate and discussion about our OUR VIEW electric co-op and its future, parWe’re ticularly as it relates to renewable encouraged by energy. the contested Susan Holland and Megan elections and Moore-Kemp have combined hope co-op their campaigns and are running on a platform promoting renewmembers able energy and energy efficiency. fill out their Both run businesses that proballots. mote sustainability, and they’re pushing for YVEA to consider conservation programs and long-term planning for future energy sources. Both contend that YVEA is deficient in those areas. Holland is challenging Steamboat Springs attorney Scott McGill, who represents YVEA’s District 8. In responding to Holland’s vision for change from our electric co-op, McGill said it was “naive to think we can change a lot of our way of doing business.” McGill also said YVEA is one of the greenest co-ops in the state, meeting or exceeding every law pertaining to the use of renewable energy sources. We question whether the state threshold should be the number to aim for. Shouldn’t the goal be a dedication to providing renewable energy proportional to the desire — and willingness to pay — of co-op members? To that end, McGill may have the numbers on his side. According to a 2009 YVEA member survey, less than 10 percent of residential YVEA customers are enrolled in a renewable energy program. Of those not enrolled, 62 percent said it was because they don’t know enough about it. Twenty-five percent said it was too expensive, and 2 percent said they don’t support renewable power. Most respondents — 78 percent — also indicated a preference for using the lowest cost energy sources rather than spending more to increase the production of renewable energy sources. Ninetythree percent said they would not support a rate increase to fund renewable energy rebates. The YVEA board has long been considered to be an “old boys club,” an issue McGill was vocal about during his successful 2006 run to unseat 18year YVEA board veteran Irlan Neas. That same year, Charles Perry ran unopposed for the seat vacated by 27-year board veteran Mary Jean Perry. It’s encouraging to see renewed interest in serving on the YVEA board, and while we don’t have any dogs in the fight, we hope the incumbents and challengers spend the next five weeks taking an active approach to spreading their message. More important, we hope YVEA members fill out the ballot that comes in their mailbox and send it back before the June 20 annual meeting. In most election years, only a small percentage of YVEA customers take the time to vote. YVEA General Manager Larry Covillo has long said his job is to carry out the desire of the co-op’s membership. Until that membership takes an active role in their rural electric provider, there’s no reason to think — or expect — a change in direction.

COMMENTARY

Cap and trade, or drop your pants? Paul Epley

SPECIAL TO THE PILOT & TODAY

One of the worst dirty little secrets of liberalism is how they will protect the “little guy” by soaking the rich. Let us examine how the progressive do-gooders have protected “Joe Six-Pack” throughout the years with the most regressive taxes imaginable. Sin taxes come to mind immediately. I don’t smoke, but as long as it is legal, sort of, I respect the right of others to do it. Who smokes and what does it cost, comparatively speaking? Remember all of those tobacco suit settlements? The federal government made tax collectors out of the tobacco companies. The companies, per se, were not responsible to pay, as the judgments all were imposed against taxes on future sales. The question is, do these confiscatory taxes of nearly 90 percent have a greater impact on the homeless black man on the streets with his stolen shopping cart and cardboard shelter, the waitress or on the messiah President Barack Obama? Let me try to get the attention of the Steamboat wine-and-croissant crowd. Do you realize that 68 to 75 percent of the cost of your merlot is tax? Probably not, because it does not make a difference to you. The Democrats

claim to represent Joe Six-Pack and Willie Wino. How about your cell phone? A whopping 33 percent is tax and fees, and it is even higher for a land line. Again, a small percent of your budget compared to the guy who collects your trash or unclogs your toilet. But, alas, I recognize that these are discretionary … luxuries. So let us move on. I was in the Philippines last week, and gasoline was a little more than $1 a gallon. Why? Because they have their own refineries and do not have 50 percent state and local taxes. Ironically, the taxibus drivers were complaining bitterly, and that is why I had to pay 7 Philippine pesos (14 cents) to go almost three miles. If you work in Hayden and live in the ’Boat or Craig, the cost of gas is a significant cost compared to your daily wage. Are you getting an idea of how badly we are soaking the rich and looking out for the little guy? Good, because you need to hold on to your shorts when I explain “cap and trade” to you. Take a look at your current electric bill. Note that about 50 percent of your bill is taxes and fees. Do you know that you are still paying a tax that was sold on the “electrification” of rural

America put in place during the Great Depression? Numb? You should be, but wait. The current “cap and trade” legislation, promulgated on the myth of global warming, is estimated to add $3,000 per person to your electric, food and other goods. Oh, excuse me, I guess these are not essentials if you are willing to starve and freeze in the dark. You know very well that not a dime of it will be used to try to impact global climate. I say “try” because the sun and the oceans dwarf man’s activities. In fact, the Earth has cooled for the past nine years, and we now are projected to enter a mini-ice age. For those who have attended American public schools during the past 30 years, let me illustrate the total unavoidable tax burden on a family, any family. If you spend $50 on your phone, $100 on electricity, $100 on gasoline and $50 on beer or smokes each month, you are paying more than $159 in hidden taxes. If cap and trade is passed, that amount would jump by $250.

Overlooked achievements of 100 days Dylan Roberts

SPECIAL TO THE PILOT & TODAY

While the first 100 days is a ceremonial milestone that dates back to the famed first months of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, there is a reason President Barack Obama’s and every recent presidents’ first days in office are judged with scrutiny. Every president knows that the best chance to make advances with his governing agenda is immediately after he takes office. After that, politics takes center stage with the upcoming congressional races, and then over the horizon the campaign to re-elect the sitting president. April 29 marked the 100th day in office for Obama. Our new president took office in the most trying of times in modern history. I do not need to explain the difficult circumstances. The political debate has been contentious, and I am sure many of you reading

this column have vastly different opinions than I do when it comes to the highly publicized and major actions of Obama. Contentious debate continues on the economic stimulus bill, the financial industry bailouts, the monumental proposed budget that seems headed for passage that includes health care, education, and energy reform, the new policies concerning Iraq and Afghanistan, and much more. Beyond these major issues, there are many achievements that have occurred in the first 100 days of this administration that may be overlooked. Yet these actions are incredibly important for our country and deserve praise from both sides of the political spectrum. These triumphs have received bipartisan praise and show that the Obama administration is committed to following through on major campaign pledges. They

deserve recognition because their actions will truly affect people’s lives in the immediate future and deserve respect and separation from partisan bickering: ■ The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act: Obama signed the act into law just nine days after he was inaugurated. The law ensures a woman’s right to file a lawsuit if she finds discrimination in her compensation compared to a man of equal position. This was a bill that most likely would not have been signed by a Republican president. The act is a major step in closing pay discrimination in our country and will protect tens of thousands of women from unfairness. ■ Kennedy Serve America Act: In the spirit of President John F. Kennedy and his brother, Sen. Robert Kennedy, Obama signed this act that expands the AmeriCorps work force from See Roberts, page 5A

To the citizens of Northwest Colorado: I have received a lot of grumbling, and frankly, downright anger this year from many of you. I’m hopeful that with a little explanation, I might help you better understand why I have done some of the things that seem to have you so upset. First of all, you need to understand the operations of the Joint Budget Committee, of which I am one of six members. There are three members from each chamber, two Democratic senators, one Republican senator (me), two House Democrats, and one House Republican. We started our 2009-10 budget process in early November, hearing from budget staffers about various department requests, and then we heard directly from the departments. In December, when our quarterly revenue forecast was presented, we were told that our current-year budget, 2008-09, was going to see a revenue shortfall of $600 million, which meant we needed to figure out how to bring the current-year budget back into balance. With only six months left in that budget year, we made transfers from cash funds, reduced our statutory reserve in half and made the cuts we could even though we were halfway through the year. This drastic midyear re-balancing really represented writing a virtually new budget for the 2008-09 fiscal year, an unprecedented necessity. Once that was complete, we went back to work on the 2009-10 budget for next fiscal year. We needed to make additional transfers, cuts and reductions to bring that budget to balance. This proved to be a more difficult task than originally anticipated, as the March revenue forecast showed further projected reductions in 2009-10 revenue. As a result, we had to consider many distasteful options. At one point we suggested cutting $300 million from higher education but had hoped to backfill that cut with money from Pinnacol Assurance Co. Pinnacol is the state worker’s compensation company, and it first appeared that as a state agency, we could access their surplus statutory reserve. Upon further investigation, it was shown that this wouldn’t work, which sent us back to the deliberations. We all agreed that cutting higher education by $300 million really wasn’t a workable solution, so we made other proposals, i.e. cutting K-12 education funding, doing away with the senior homestead exemption, cutting rates for Medicaid providers and furloughing state employees. In the end, we did all of these, as well as many other distasteful but necessary cuts and transfers. We tried to cut our own legislative salaries but were informed that we could neither increase nor decrease our own salaries and benefits during any session. Anything we do along those lines wouldn’t take effect until the next General Assembly (2011). The way JBC works is that we all can vote on the issues under consideration, but once they are adopted, they become part of our budget proposal. Once the budget bill is sent over from the JBC, though I may disagree with many provisions that it contains, I am obligated to vote for the bill. Last year, I was the only Republican in the House to do so. This year, I was the only Republican in the Senate to do so. See Letters, page 5A

Look at Obama’s achievements that are positive for all help for people with diabetes, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and spinal-chord injuries. Along with most Americans, Obama realizes we are now in the 21st century and should take advantage of the technology that is available. This research will affect the lives of millions and surely many people you know yourself. Obama has a bold agenda. He promised change during his historic campaign. Whether change has arrived will be debated every single day. However, beyond the stories that dominate the front page, it is important to look beyond the headlines and realize that Obama already has signed

laws that our country deserves. Amid all the 100-day chatter and the debate that will continue concerning Obama’s strategy to save the economy and revitalize our country, remember to look back at some major achievements that are positive for all Americans, regardless of party or ideology. Roberts was Barack Obama’s field organizer for Northwest Colorado in the presidential campaign. He is a sophomore at Boston College pursuing a degree in political science and environmental studies. Roberts went to high school in Steamboat and ski raced for the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club.

I hope global warming debate is a set-up to talk solutions Letters continued from 4A It was my duty as a member of the committee. I apologize to all of you who have been hurt by the budget decisions that were made this year. I have been told this year is the worst in several decades and possibly in the 50 years that the JBC has existed. Our hands are tied with many constitutional provisions that didn’t exist 20 years ago, therefore we don’t have the latitude prior JBC members have had. To make matters worse, I am concerned that the 2010-11 budget might be even worse. There are no rabbits to pull out of our hat. If revenues don’t improve, cuts that we considered but found ways around last time will have to happen. The budgetary pain will be felt statewide. Cuts will be deep and pervasive. I don’t say this to frighten you, only to warn you of what the possibilities might be. In the future, if you have any questions about the budget process, my proposals or actions, please don’t hesitate to call me on my cell phone at 303-8862537 or e-mail me at al.white. senate@state.co.us. Believe it or not, there is more method than madness to my actions, once you understand the lay of the land

and the rules and protocol under which I must operate. As difficult as it can be to serve on the JBC, it still is the most powerful committee in the Legislature, and it is where I have the most leverage to protect the interests of Northwest Colorado.

STATE SENATOR, R-HAYDEN

Here’s to hope To Richard Lamm and Bill Owens: The local Steamboat Springs and Craig newspapers are running ads for your upcoming “Global Warming — Fact or Fiction?” debate (“Fueling Thought” Energy Summit 2009 in Craig). Normally, I’d enjoy seeing both of you debate, but the choice of topic leaves me pretty disappointed. It’s as if you two were “debating” whether the Earth is flat versus round, or whether the planet revolves around the sun or the other way around. The outcome (who the audience thinks was more witty or persuasive) really doesn’t affect what’s really going on. A room full of fossil fuel executives in Craig might be one

of the only places left where such a “debate” still could be held. Your debate won’t change the physical reality, but it will have several negative effects: 1. Global warming. “Global warming” is a friendly term that suggests longer summers and milder winters (“Hey, who wouldn’t want to wear shorts a little longer?”). “Climate disruption” probably is more accurate. 2. Indeterminate cause. A “debate” (“Global Warming — Fact or Fiction?”) suggests there’s still uncertainty. Not in the scientific community (even the scientists for the infamous Global Climate Coalition told the oil, gas and coal industries that the evidence was undeniable). The only uncertainty left is the speed of change, what we’re going to do about it, and whether there’s still time to avoid the climate from spiraling out of control. 3. Partisan politics. I can’t help but notice that one of you is a Republican and the other a Democrat. Having you debate global warming implies that it’s just another political or ideological disagreement. It’s much more serious than that. 4. Deniability and inaction. It’s pretty hard going to work each morning if you acknowledge your industry is destabiliz-

75,000 to 250,000 by 2017. Obama has inspired a call for community service across the nation and now provides the outlet for citizens to give back to their communities. The words “what can you do for your country” have never been more important, and now, possible. ■ Children’s Health Insurance Program Amendment: In early February, Obama signed a bill amending the Social Security Act to extend comprehensive health care coverage to more than four million children who previously were uninsured. Although the number covered is small, it makes a dent in the

enormous amount of young children in this country who should have health care, no matter their circumstances. The policy puts us on the path to future health care legislation that will improve the lives of millions and millions of Americans. ■ Executive Order on Stem Cell Policy: In March, Obama signed an executive order that lifted the ban on stem cell research imposed by President Bush. Twice during his presidency, Bush vetoed bills that would have authorized the research. Now, research is moving forward thanks to Obama’s commitment to science. Stem cell research soon will lead to

Virginia “Gynnie” Patrick, of Berthoud, passed away May 5, 2009. She was 74. Gynnie was born Oct. 5, 1934, to Santos and Patrick Marie Antonia (Moreno) Avila, in Corona, Calif. She was the youngest of seven brothers and sisters. On Jan. 12, 1956, she married Johnny Ray Patrick in Raton, N.M. Together, they ran Patrick’s Auction Service in Berthoud, held many private auctions and ran the old Trailways Motel in Longmont. Gynnie was able to use her incredible sense of style and fashion at Smart Shop, where she helped ladies from all across the country put together many beautiful clothing collections for their special occasions, weddings, vacations and cruises. She then worked as a hostess at Leo’s, where customers often would come just to see what she was wearing that day. She always put every detail imaginable into her outfits, from shoes, necklaces and earrings to eyeglasses and nail polish. She started using fancy and wild colors before anyone thought of the idea. She was even known to buy royal blue and black nail polish from the dog groomer so she would have the perfect color to match. She often would paint polka dots and stripes on her nails to complement her blouse or jacket. And for the past 11 years, Gynnie was a team member for Target. She again was known for her fun shoes and earrings. She often had guests who would wait in her line just to see what she had put together that day. She also told stories that she and her coworkers would try to see who could come up with the cutest socks, as well. Gynnie felt her biggest accomplishment in life was raising her three children. She loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They all gave her many years of joy. She was devoted to her family and made every occasion the

Support funds from unemployment checks up THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINGORA, PAKISTAN

Pakistani warplanes pounded a Taliban-held valley Saturday in what the prime minister called a “war of the country’s survival.” Warplanes and troops killed dozens of entrenched militants Saturday in the assault on northwestern Swat Valley, army officials said. The offensive has prompted the flight of hundreds of thousands of terrified residents, adding a humanitarian emergency to the nuclear-armed nation’s security, economic and political problems. Prime Minister Yousuf RazaGilani held an emergency Cabinet meeting Saturday. Speaking to reporters afterward, he called the Swat offensive a “war of the country’s survival” but said the military could win.

US report blames Taliban militants for civilian deaths KABUL

The U.S. coalition blamed Taliban militants Saturday for causing what Afghan officials say are dozens of civilian deaths during a prolonged battle that included American airstrikes. The U.S. said an unspecified number of civilians died but did not take responsibility for any deaths. Afghanistan’s Interior Ministry declined to endorse the U.S. report, saying its own investigation would be completed soon. Afghan officials have estimated as many as 147 people died in the battle in the western province of Farah on Monday, but a U.S. spokeswoman called that number exaggerated.

DENVER

The amount of child-support money in Colorado coming from unemployment checks has almost tripled during the first three months of the year. The Denver Post reports that the state child-support system has collected $3.5 million from unemployment checks through March, compared to $1.26 million during the same time last year. “What we’re seeing today is the new poor, the people who had regular income, paid their child support and who have now lost their income,” said Elizabeth Calvert, director of Denver’s child-support division. The Colorado Department of Human Services says about $320.7 million was collected in 2008 from the state’s 141,000 child-support cases.

Child support payments jobless rate of 6 percent or drawn from unemployment more. The state’s unemploychecks in Denver increased from ment rate is 7.5 percent. Calvert said the law states $219,970 the first four months of 2008, to $568,014 this year that child-support payments can’t take up during the same more than half of months, the Post “What we’re seeing an unemployment reported. today is the new check.

shocking, really — as the cruise lines set their sailing schedules 12 to 18 months in advance, and even minor changes are rare,” Nerney said. The great number of alternative ports in the Caribbean makes it far easier to swap stops there. Instead of Cozumel in Mexico, companies are opting for Ocho Rios or Montego Bay in Jamaica, Nassau or Freeport in the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands’ St. Thomas, St. Maarten or Key West, Fla., or points across the Caymans and Turks and Caicos. The Bahamas is happily awaiting diverted ships. Customs receives $15 for each passenger, and island clothing and jewelry shops, bars and cafes depend on tourist dollars, tourism minister Vincent Vanderpool-Wallace said. Analysts think the benefits may be fleeting for these ports because the outbreak hasn’t been severe. “I think it’s a short-term bump that may already be dissipating,” said Michael McCall, a hospitality research fellow and lecturer at Cornell University.

Most California fire evacuations lifted Raquel Maria Dillon THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA BARBARA, CALIF.

Thousands of evacuees began returning home Saturday as a blanket of cool, moist air flowing in from the ocean brought a dramatic change, taming the wind-driven wildfire that had burned 80 homes along the outskirts of town. Cheers erupted at an evacuation center when Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown announced that mandatory evacuation orders for most areas were being downgraded

to evacuation warnings, meaning residents could return but would have to remain alert. Among the first to return were Jonathan Kenny, 44, and his wife, Susan Kim, 42, who found their home covered in ash but still standing near blackened hillsides that showed just how close the fire came. “I feel like we dodged a bullet on this one,” said Kenny, who watered plants and fed goldfish in a backyard pond. “They’re not floating belly up, so that’s a good sign,” Kim said. But a short distance away

up a narrow canyon road, gutted homes and burned out cars awaited the return of their owners. A scorched palm tree jutted toward a clear, blue sky and a lawn chair, scorched appliances and metal filing cabinets were among the few recognizable remnants. More than 30,000 people had been under mandatory evacuation orders dating back as far as Tuesday afternoon, when the fire erupted just above Santa Barbara on the face of steep Santa Ynez Mountains. An additional 23,000 had been on evacuation standby.

Hotels seeing travelers postpone plans because of flu Cruises continued from 3A

global development at Smith Travel Research, noted that, in addition to swine flu, Mexico travel has been affected by fear of heightened drug violence in border states. He sees business travel to Mexico remaining steady and swine flu having minimal impact on leisure traffic unless the virus worsens. Hotel operators are seeing travelers postpone plans. The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company and Four Seasons Hotel and Resorts said virtually all guests booked at two of their Mexico resorts in late April and early May will come a few months later instead. Starwood Hotels & Resorts Inc. expected the flu to cost it $4 million to $5 million in revenue but said it could recover much of it from guests rebooked at its U.S. or Caribbean resorts. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now says only 10 percent of infected Americans picked up the virus in Mexico, not onethird as previously estimated. But it maintains its warning against nonessential travel to Mexico. Michael Crye, vice president of technology and regulatory affairs for the Cruise Lines International Association, called that restric-

tion damaging and unnecessary, because areas hit hardest by the flu’s spread are inland and the flu season is almost over. Crye pointed to lessons learned from several rounds of bad publicity after gastrointestinal illnesses such as the “Norwalk” virus broke out and said new passenger screenings ensure ships don’t help spread the H1N1 virus, which causes swine flu. “We believe ... we’ve got a good story to tell and that you’re probably at less risk going ahead with your destination than you would be in virtually any other public place,” Crye said. Eric Brey, head of the Center for Resort and Hospitality Business at the University of Memphis, predicted tourists would have no problem returning quickly to Mexico. “Outside of this summer, I don’t see it being that big a deal,” Brey said. In Charlotte Amalie on St. Thomas, a place hit hard as tourism has declined amid the recession, it usually is quiet this time of year. But taxies zipped abundantly by the docks last week. “(The swine flu) is a good problem for us,” said Edward Thomas, CEO of the West

Pavlik said he thinks RMYC’s work this summer will have an immediate and profound effect on the local economy. “We count so much on our campgrounds and visitors to them, that making them safe makes an almost immediate impact on our economy,”

said Pavlik, who said he sells equipment to RMYC at a discounted rate. “I’ve always been able to cut (RMYC) some slack because I believe very much in what they’re doing.” — To reach Brandon Gee, call 871-4210 or e-mail bgee@steamboatpilot.com

to prevent minors from consuming alcohol. After the ordinance goes into effect Friday, police will be able to hold homeowners or hosts responsible for underage drinking that occurs on their property or at their party. Finding the source of alcohol provided to minors is often challenging, Rae said. “Unless they tell us, it’s very difficult to determine where they got their alcohol from. Kids don’t want to give up their resource,” he said. If parents aren’t home when minors are drinking in their house and were unaware the drinking was happening, the host of the party can be charged under the city’s new law, even if that person is a minor, Rae said. “Someone is hosting that party. If it’s an 18-year-old girl whose parents are out of town, this ordinance allows us to specifically hold her responsible,” he said. Under Colorado law, any person older than 10 could potentially be held accountable.

“The whole purpose of this ordinance is to clarify the vagueness and ambiguity in the current state statute,” Rae said. In a letter to City Council supporting the measure, Oldham echoed Rae’s sentiment. “Although the District Attorney’s Office can prosecute adults for permitting underage persons to obtain alcohol ... the vagueness of the (Colorado) statute makes prosecution difficult,” she wrote. “The (city’s) proposed social host ordinance is preferable because the language is unambiguous, which is essential for successful prosecutions. Moreover, unambiguous statutes are more equitable because the public is on notice of behavior that is criminal.” Deputy District Attorney Carl Stahl agreed with Rae that the number of cases per year likely will remain low. “I don’t think it will be that frequent. Maybe a handful to a dozen cases per year, but those will probably be important because when you have those parties with underage drinking, what you have after those parties is underage driving,” he said.

Restaurants will donate 1 percent of sales for the week to the LIFT-UP of Routt County’s food bank, according to information Lang provided. Joe Schuetz, general manager of The Boathouse Pub, said his restaurant plans to participate. The Boathouse will do a threecourse special, but he hasn’t decided what it will include. The restaurant hopes to gain recog-

The May 24 block party and skateboard rail jam will provide another opportunity to get feet on downtown streets. That event will be on Seventh Street south of Lincoln Avenue, in front of Urbane and the Ghost Ranch, a music venue and restaurant. It will include music and booths for nonprofit groups

and businesses that offer outdoor activities, Barnett said. Organizations can sign up for a booth to give information to locals and visitors. Steamboat Flyfisher has agreed to do demonstrations, for example. The event will be different from the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association’s activity fair, Barnett said. “That is geared toward concierges, front desks, that sort of thing,” she said, “and this one is geared to people — people who would use these services.” Groups or businesses interested in participating can call

Barnett at 846-1800. Ghost Ranch, which is scheduled to open that weekend, will offer a Saturday happy hour and drink specials, she said. Lang said it was all a push to drive people to come downtown, have fun and spend money locally. The block party also will help Steamboat show off its warm-weather activities, he said. “We’re trying to show Steamboat is a great place to come in the summertime,” Lang said. — To reach Blythe Terrell, call 871-4234 or e-mail bterrell@steamboatpilot.com

Sales in the Vail Valley end with mixed results VAIL DAILY

Land Title Guarantee Co.’s monthly sales report for March painted a good news/bad news story of the Vail Valley real estate scene. March real estate sales topped $59 million, the best performance so far this year. However, just 44 sales closed, the lowest on record. The average sales price for the month of March was more than $1.3 million. There were three sales of more than $5 million, including a unit that sold for $9.15 million. Units in Cordillera Valley Club and a Village Walk were purchased for $6.1 million. Properties sold for less than $500,000 have historically seen the most transactions, but through the first three months of this year, the price range between $500,000 and $1 million has been the most active, with 33 percent of all transactions. Properties selling for more than $2 million have accounted for nearly 55 percent of the total dollar volume. Vail Village has seen the most activity through the first three months of the year with 25 transactions and Eagle is second with 19. However, the most sales in the county in March — seven — were in Eagle. There was just one sale in Gypsum. Land Title’s survey divides the county in 31 areas. In the first quarter, just four areas out of the 31 have 10 or more sales.

Sales down with economy Realtors: Consumer confidence, price reductions key to real estate rebound

irst quarter statistics show a further weakening of the real estate market in Steamboat Springs and other western Rocky Mountain resorts, but real estate professionals say they are beginning to see signs of STORY BY BRANDON GEE recovery. According to data compiled by the Rocky Mountain Resort Alliance, Steamboat’s first quarter sales volume was $31.8 million, down from $118 million in the first quarter of 2008 and $190.3 million in the first quarter of 2007. Other Colorado resort areas showed similar declines. Grand County’s first quarter sales volume was $19.7 million, down from $107.3 million in the first quarter of 2008 and $65.1 million in the first quarter of 2007. Vail’s first quarter sales volume was $135.4 million, down from $501.8 million in the first quarter of 2008 and $616.2 million in the first quarter of 2007. Summit County’s first quarter sales volume was $69.7 million, down from $191.3 million in 2008 and $237.2 million in 2007. “It’s good to see we’re on the same boat,” Prudential Steamboat Realty principal Pam Vanatta said. Only 55, or 3 percent, of Steamboat’s 1,791 active listings sold in the first quarter, according to the RMRA, and only 20, or 5 percent, of 380 single-family homes listed were sold.

quarter of 2007. Of the 11 mountain resort markets profiled by RMRA, none sold more than 8 percent of their listed inventory in the first quarter of 2009. “I would say volume in most mountain resorts is quite obviously lagging,” said David Baldinger Jr., of Steamboat Village Brokers. “In general, what I kind of gauge out of this is a shared experience in the other western resorts.” Although the RMRA statistics are useful in tracking

trends, Baldinger said they should be taken with a grain of salt for a number of reasons. He said each market profiled compiles its statistics differently, for example, and he said the percentage of inventory sold is skewed downward by the fact that large luxury projects such as One Steamboat Place and Trailhead Lodge have made numerous presales that are not yet reflected. “There’s some hidden value in Steamboat’s market that is significant, but it’s under con-

tract,” said Baldinger, who said the numbers would be similarly skewed upward when the projects close. “All of a sudden, it will look like the market tripled.” Baldinger also noted that the first quarter is not a good bellwether of the entire year. “The first quarter, not only in the U.S. but especially in ski resorts, is usually not onefourth of the volume,” he said. “These statistics don’t really represent how the rest of the year is going to look. … It’s

Building department statistics lagging Construction valuation for projects down $24.7M from 2008 Brandon Gee

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Statistics through April from the Routt County Regional Building Department confirm what anybody associated with the building trades already knows: 2009 is shaping up to be one tough year for the construction industry. The construction valuation for projects issued permits through April of this year is $29.1 million. The same figure stood at $53.8 million through April

2008. Building Official Carl Dunham projects the total 2009 valuation will be $137.8 million, the lowest since $128.3 million in 2003 and about $200 million less than 2008. The total construction valuation of projects issued permits in 2008 was $333.7 million. The trend is confirmed by state employment data. Statewide, construction employment usually increases in March with the temperatures, but the industry lost 2,100 jobs that month. The construction industry is Routt County’s largest job cre-

ator, according to the 2009-10 Community Indicators Project. “It seems like a really big, scary waiting game now,” local builder A.J. Gale said last month. “Right at the beginning of November, I’ve never seen the brakes fly on like that, ever.” Of all the data compiled by the Building Department, Dunham said he thinks the number of plan reviews is most telling. There were only 29 plan reviews in April 2009, down See Construction, page 2B

Construction valuation outside city limits up $2.7M Construction continued from 1B from 50 in April 2008. From 2004 to 2008, the average number of plan reviews in April is 62.4. The Building Department conducted 575 inspections last month — down from 807 in April 2008 — and Dunham said most of those are for projects that are nearing completion. “We’re not doing a lot of foundation inspections. We’re doing a lot of drywalls and finals,” he said. “That’s kind of tell-tale.” Revenues also are off. Through April, the Building Department has collected

$131,466, down from $306,914 for the same period in 2008. “Revenues are off, and that’s what we pay our bills with,” Dunham said. “As I’ve said all along, I think we’re going to lose some staff. … As an enterprise fund, we need to be rightsized — like any construction company. That’s a very unfortunate part about this situation. We can’t overspend.” If there is one bright spot in the numbers, it is an uptick in activity outside of Steamboat Springs in April. The construction valuation of projects in Routt County outside city limits was $4.6 million in April, up from $1.9 million in April 2008.

“What that may mean is, some people have decided maybe we’ve reached a status where we’ve bottomed out,” Dunham said. That increase is greatly overshadowed, however, by a huge decrease in the construction valuation of projects in Steamboat — from $10.6 million in April 2008 to $4.7 million in April 2009. With the exception of a slight increase in February in Steamboat, there also were dramatic decreases in valuation in the city and county every other month of this year when compared with 2008. Dunham said the discrepan-

cy between the city and county figures for April is the result of residential projects being the only ones that are going forward. Land availability for residential starts in Steamboat is scarce, and there have been no commercial starts to make up the difference. Projects in Steamboat accounted for about threefourths of the construction valuation of projects issued permits in 2008. So far in 2009, Steamboat building projects account for just half of the valuation. — To reach Brandon Gee, call 871-4210 or e-mail bgee@steamboatpilot.com

Vanatta: Biggest challenge is getting buyers’ confidence back Sales continued from 1B than it was in the first.” Nonetheless, Baldinger and Vanatta each said meaningful recovery is dependent on the restoration of consumer confidence and more meaningful

price reductions from the record high property values of recent years. “Our biggest challenge is getting the buyer’s confidence back into buying real estate,” Vanatta said. “And we need to get 2007 out of our heads.”

Real estate professionals said they are beginning to see signs of both. “The resorts have been affected by the economy, but they’re not dead,” said Dennis Hanlon, founder and president of Rocky Mountain Resort Alliance and

a Park City, Utah, real estate agent. “Things seem to be improving. Everybody seems to be saying that they’re seeing more people coming in.” Hanlon also noted that the stock market and other key economic indicators are showing signs of stabilization. “I think that’s going to start restoring consumer confidence,” he said, “and that’s really what it’s going to take.” The Routt County Clerk and Recorder’s Office showed $9.9 million in sales in the week from April 29 to May 6, a significant increase against previous weeks. Vanatta said showings and contracts are increasing at Prudential and that there have been notable decreases in sales prices. Baldinger said there likely will be more decreases, but he doesn’t expect the massive losses in equity and value that have been seen in other parts of the country. Ten to 20 percent reductions from all-time highs, however, are likely, Baldinger said. “Prices are starting to be adjusted downward, but it doesn’t seem like our market is responding like other markets that are under duress,” Baldinger said. “We’re not in any kind of situation where our values are going to dramatically change, but our prices are going to cool off a little bit, which will bring buyers back.” — To reach Brandon Gee, call 871-4210 or e-mail bgee@steamboatpilot.com

It’s not the usual sleeping environment for your basic, high-flying CEO: a mattress on the floor in a different, empty house every night. Yet that’s the life John Wieland staked out in early March, when he set out on a Southern odyssey that was part sales promotion, part psychology lesson. Wieland, 72, runs John Wieland Homes and Neighborhoods, a large Atlanta-based building company that, like most others in this country, has seen its sales plunge in the past couple of years. So, the chief executive decided on a promotional event, but he wanted something out of

the ordinary. “We needed to get cash back to the banks; that’s no secret,” he said. “I have to do something personally to demonstrate how important it is to the economy to get the housing market moving and how important it is to my company to get houses sold.” On March 6 he began his “Get Housing Moving” sale, visiting the 56 subdivisions under development by his company in four states. Tooling along in a lime-green Winnebago re-christened the “Wiebago,” he vowed to sleep on a twin mattress dropped on the floors of the firm’s finished but unfurnished and unsold homes every night until 101 houses were under contract. Nearing the end of his trek in late April, he said he had

Environmental Assessment USDA Forest Service Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests Hahns Peak/Bears Ears Ranger District Routt County, Colorado The Hahns Peak/Bears Ears District Ranger, Jamie Kingsbury signed a Decision Notice on the Prospector Timber Sale and Fuels Reduction Project on May 8, 2009. The Decision is to implement the proposed action with the following modifications. The modifications drop one clearcut unit (29) and adjust prescriptions to retain additional understory in the following units (4, 12, 13, 14, 21, 26, and 28). These modifications to the proposed action will occur: unit 29 and .74 miles of temporary road that would have crossed two streams to access unit 29 were dropped, clearcut units 26 and 28 changed to sanitation/salvage, overstory removal units 4 and 21 changed to sanitation/salvage, shelterwood units 12 and 14 changed to sanitation/salvage and shelterwood unit 13 changed to an uneven-aged management. The dropped unit was not critical to meeting the purpose and need of the project and the prescription adjustments will still meet the purpose and need.

Published in The Steamboat Pilot & Today Publication Date: May 10, 2009 10178095 10148-1 LEGAL NOTICE DECISION NOTICE Prospector Timber Sale and Fuels Reduction Project

This project is an “authorized project” under Title I of the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003 (HFRA) (P.L. 108-148) Sec.102 (a)(4), allowing expedited project planning for vegetation treatments on National Forest System lands that are currently experiencing disease or insect epidemics. Projects authorized under the HFRA and revised Notice, Comment, and Appeal regulations (36 CFR 215; 36 CFR 218) require different procedures for public participation. The procedures are as follows: 1. There is no appeal period after the decision is signed. Instead, an objection process occurs after the final environmental assessment is released and before the decision approving authorized projects under the act. 2. Participation in the objection process is limited to individuals and organizations who have submitted specific written comments related to the proposed authorized project during the opportunity for public comment [Section 105(a)(3), 36 CFR 218.6]. No objections were received during the objection period, which ended on May 13, 2008; therefore implementation of the project may begin immediately.

All west of the 6th Principal Meridian; totaling 4,093 acres. The USGS 7.5 Minute Quadrangle Maps of Hayden Gulch, Hayden, Dunckley, and Mt. Harris, contain the described permit area. Pursuant to Rule 3.03.1, a permittee may request Phase I Bond release upon successful completion of backfilling, regrading and drainage control in accordance with the approved reclamation plan. Those portions of the mine for which Phase I bond release is requested were backfilled and graded from the beginning of mining, in 1990, through 2008 in accordance with the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (CDRMS) rules and regulations. The approved reclamation plan can be reviewed in its entirety in the Seneca II-W Mine Permit Application Package located in the Hayden Public Library, Hayden, Colorado. For the purposes of this Phase I Bond Release request, the term “reclaimed” means those disturbed/mined areas where successful completion of backfilling, regrading and drainage control, in accordance with the approved reclamation plan, has been completed. Backfilling and grading was conducted from 1990 through 2008. All areas affected by the surface mining operations, except as specifically exempted by the CDMG, were regraded on a timely basis to a stable configuration that conforms to the approved postmining land use (livestock grazing and wildlife habitat). The Phase I reclamation activities have produced a stable landform in compliance with the approved conditions in the CDRMS Permit No. C-82-057.

Foster wins triple jump

Joel Reichenberger PILOT & TODAY

Hayden senior takes regional title; Rams, Sailors also make state

Tennis leading the way

teamboat Springs wasn’t a town built with the high school spring sports season in mind — a fact made painfully clear as most of the local high school’s spring teams bowed out in the first round of the playoffs or failed to make the postseason at all. Only the tennis team has been able to leap Mother Nature’s hurdles so far. The boys lacrosse and girls soccer squads struggled trying to convert wildly successful regular seasons into playoff runs. Meanwhile, the boys baseball team and several of Steamboat’s top track and field athletes fell just short of advancing into the postseason or state meet. Tennis, though, in the past two years has won the program’s only two state championships, the most recent a gutsy three-set victory Saturday in Pueblo by the team’s No. 1 doubles pair, Sara Bearss and Kylee Swiggart. Spring success is so hard in the Springs. The baseball players get to work outside so rarely, there’s an unsubstantiated rumor their eyes are evolving to work better in low-light situations. The lacrosse team and girls soccer squad have proven again and again they are among the cream of the crop when it comes to mountainarea schools. Truly, it’s hard to find rivals for the two programs in all of Northwest Colorado. They struggle in the playoffs, though, when they are cast against teams stocked with players who can work on dry fields 12 months a year. Still, all those Steamboat programs are on the rise, and it’s pretty easy to imagine them all finding ways to break through their geographic handicap in the next several seasons. The future looks bright for Steamboat Springs spring sports — but the future is now for the tennis program. Sheltered from spring sports’ altitude-based discrimination by the giant bubble at The Tennis Center at Steamboat Springs, the squad has proven that spring competitors from this quiet little mountain town can be more than a match for anyone in the state. The best part for the tennis program is, things just seem to be getting started. The team has won five consecutive regional championships, and there’s no reason to think it won’t win a sixth. Going to state has become an expectation rather than an award. Of the 10 Sailors who traveled to last year’s state tournament, seven made the trip back this year. All seven stand a good chance of returning next year, too. The tennis team finished fourth in the state in 2007 and 2008. It was eighth this year. That may be a small step back, but this program is about to go even further. Next year, it will field a roster full of talented state-tournament veterans, and there’s no limit to what the team members can accomplish as a group or as individuals. Future spring seasons should be good for many Sailors sports squads. Look for the tennis program to continue leading the way.

GRAND JUNCTION

LUKE GRAHAM/STAFF

Hayden High School senior Holli Salazar throws the shot put at Saturday’s regional meet in Grand Junction. Salazar won the event and set a meet record with 41 feet, 8.5 inches.

Hayden High School athlete Logan Foster had no expectations of traveling next weekend. But whether it was Saturday’s weather, less pressure at the regional meet or a change in his approach, Foster earned a trip to the state meet Thursday, Friday and Saturday in Lakewood. The senior, who bounced back and forth from long jump to triple jump

this season, won the triple jump at Saturday’s Class 2A regionals in Grand Junction, jumping a personal best of 42 feet, 2.5 inches. Steamboat and Soroco athletes also competed at the meet. “No, I did not (expect to win),” said Foster, who propelled the Hayden boys to a third-place finish overall. “I didn’t expect to qualify. It just kind of happened — a minor miracle, I guess.” Foster credited a change in his run down the runway to helping him win

the regional title. He also found a good balance in the second and third phases of his jump. He said he’s more powerful off his right leg — which he uses in that second phase — but jumps farther off his left. “Now I want to medal at state,” Foster said. “I want to be in the top four.” Foster wasn’t the only Tigers athlete to come away from Saturday with a regional title. In what’s become almost a formality, Hayden senior See Track, page 3C

When the final decision came, Hayden High School football player Coy Letlow knew University of Northern Colorado was the best fit. The school, the atmosphere and, most importantly, the

chance to play early sold Letlow on the Bears. “It’s big enough for me and at the level I want,” said Letlow, who will be a preferred walk-on in Greeley. “I went and watched a game and the atmosphere and school — it’s where I want to play.” See Letlow, page 3C

Hayden High School senior Coy Letlow will be a preferred walk-on at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley this season.

No matter how many things the Denver Nuggets did wrong Saturday, they somehow always remained within striking distance of the Dallas Mavericks. And with a second left, Carmelo Anthony struck. Anthony broke free of a defender trying to foul him Anthony and swished a 3-pointer, givFor more ing the Nuggets Cavaliers lead a 106-105 vicseries against tory against the Hawks, 3-0 Mavericks and See page 4C a 3-0 series lead that has been insurmountable in NBA history. Despite missing 15 of their first 17 shots and getting only 10 points from their previously unstoppable center tandem of Nene and Chris Andersen, Denver trailed only 105-101 with 31 seconds left. Anthony got a quick dunk off an inbounds play, then the Nuggets forced Dirk Nowitzki to miss a 13-footer with about 8 seconds remaining. After a timeout, Anthony took an inbounds pass and Dallas’ Antoine Wright tried to foul him — twice — since the Mavericks had a foul to give. Anthony lost his dribble the first time, then bounced off the second bump to find himself wide open. He buried the 3 from right in front of the Mavericks bench, where everyone was going bonkers over the lack of a foul call. It was pretty ironic considering there had been 61 fouls called to that point, keeping either team from ever getting into a flow the entire game. “I didn’t see a foul,” Nuggets coach George Karl said. “It seemed like he fumbled the ball.” Dallas’ last-gasp chance was a high-arching 3 from Nowitzki that was nowhere close to going in. At the buzzer, the crowd fell silent, the Nuggets began to celebrate and the Mavericks began to gripe. Team owner Mark Cuban shoved a cameraman, and Josh Howard was among several clusters of Dallas players who appeared to be exchanging words with Denver players and staff. Cuban continued his tirade behind the scorer’s table, his face reddening.

Swiggart: We realized we needed to step it up or go home No. 1 doubles Kylee Swiggart and Sara Bearss def. Alyson Waloch and Alex Lehnert, of Greeley West, 5-7, 7-5, 6-3, on Saturday to win a state high school doubles championship.

“We got too comfortable with our score. We were just assuming the next two games would come to us rather than having to work for them,” Swiggart said about the second set’s dramatic swings. “Finally, we both realized we needed to either step it up or go home.” Steamboat again was in a deep hole early in the third. The Sailors lost two of the first three games, both of which they had served. At its best, Greeley won the battle at the net, either returning volleys with the consistency of a brick wall or chipping the ball just out of reach. The Greeley pair controlled Steamboat’s service games by pounding the ball hard down the line, a series of shots so decisive Bearss and Swiggart could barely even step in the right direction in time, let alone get a racket on the ball. It was Steamboat’s power and creativity that won out, however. The Sailors scored big points by lobbing the ball high over Waloch and Lehnert, landing shot after shot right on the baseline.

Track continued from 1C Holli Salazar won the shot put, breaking her own meet record with a throw of 41-8.5. Salazar now will look to repeat as a state champion in the shot put. Her best throw of 42-2.5 in Class 2A is more than three feet better than her next-closest competitor and currently the second best in all classifications. Hayden also qualified the boys 800-meter relay team of Coy Letlow, Jake Walker, Billy Zehner and Braylin Wertenberger. The team finished second Saturday in 1:35.90. The Tigers’ 400 team of the same runners already had qualified. Other finishers from Hayden on Saturday included Walker at 11.61 seconds and Letlow at 12.11 seconds in the 100, Taylor Petersen at 4-10 in the girls high jump, Aubree Haskins at 30-11 in the shot put and Chris Zirkle at 4:58.92 in the 1,600.

Rossi leads Rams Nobody can ever question Sarajane Rossi’s toughness. The Soroco High School senior has proven it for four years. So when Rossi turned her ankle at the conclusion of the 800 sprint medley — the first relay of the day — there was a collective sigh from the Rams faithful. “I was going to run no matter how painful it was,” Rossi

Steamboat Springs High School juniors Kylee Swiggart, left, and Sara Bearss stand in first place atop the podium Saturday after winning the No. 1 doubles state tennis championship in Pueblo.

Swiggart scored often playing near the net, hammering any lazy Greeley shots. Bearss, meanwhile, continually drove the ball up the middle of the court, threading her opponents. “They were really aggressive to the net, and we knew to beat them, we had to get more aggressive,” Swiggart said. “We tried to get to everything, so we could put it away rather than start a volley.”

Growing as a team Bearss and Swiggart’s championship run was the product of two years playing together. They grew as friends and tennis players, turning a fourth-place finish in last year’s state tournament into a championship this year. Together, they became the most successful partnership in the history of the Steamboat girls program, but afterward, both admitted a senior-year repeat is unlikely. They probably will split up to play singles.

“They’re not going to have much choice,” Aragon said with a laugh, explaining that the girls essentially have played their way out of a doubles team. He paused and cast an eye toward the Pueblo City Park Court No. 1, site of back-to-back Steamboat Springs High School championships. “We came in this morning and said, ‘This is the court,’” he said. “This is Steamboat Court. Our girls wanted it today, and they got it. They deserved it. They’re a quality team.” The championship helped lift Steamboat into an eighthplace tie at the state tournament. Cheyenne Mountain dominated the three-day event, finishing with 69 points to claim the Class 4A team state championship. Fossil Ridge was second with 38 and Regis third with 31. Steamboat and Niwot, last year’s team champion, each finished with 17 points, one behind seventh-place Kent Denver.

Bessette bested her personal record in the long jump, jumping 16-5.25 Saturday to finish third. Bessette’s jump, for the moment, has her in the 18th position in Class 4A and holding onto the last spot in state. The top 18 places in all events in Class 4A and 5A advance to the state meet. As of Saturday night, Bessette and pole vaulter Jaime Winter were the only two Steamboat athletes in the top 18. Full state rosters won’t be official until 1 p.m. today. “These past couple weeks it’s really taken off,” said Bessette, who hadn’t long jumped since eighth-grade. “I don’t know. It’s just repetition. … (Waiting for state) is nerve-wracking. If I go, that’s really cool. If I don’t, I know I finished off the season really well.” Steamboat got a strong finish from Kimberly Heald, who finished seventh in the 100, running a 13.57. The girls 800 relay team of Claire Tegl, Bessette, Corinne Landy and Heald finished third with a time of 1:54.84, while the boys 800 team of Kaelen Gunderson, Jacob Brenner, Jeff Sperry and Dylan Pivarnik finished sixth with a time of 1:40.51.

Coach: He was a kid you could turn to and could trust Letlow continued from 1C Despite coming from a small Class 1A school, Letlow’s statistics and body of work for four years on the field were too hard to ignore. After he was just another weapon his freshman year, Letlow became a stalwart and standout his last three years running the ball for the Tigers. He put up three 1,000-yard rushing seasons and always was the focal point for defenses trying to slow Hayden’s attack. Letlow finished his high school career with more than 4,600 yards rushing. “For four years, Coy was a starter,” Hayden coach Shawn Baumgartner said. “He brought a lot of hard work. He led by

example on and off the field. He was definitely a quiet kid. He was never the rah-rah type kid. He was a kid you could turn to and knew you could trust. You knew he would get it done.” Letlow also helped a Hayden football team return to dominance, helping the team to the state playoffs three of his four years as a Tiger. Maybe his most impressive performance came his junior year. After running for more than 1,700 yards his sophomore season, Letlow — with defenses keyed against him — still ran for 1,400 yards and helped his team reach the Class 1A semifinals. “That junior season was the best,” Letlow said. “It was just

Rossi: I was going to run no matter how painful it was said. “This could have been my last opportunity.” Still, Rossi did her best, helping propel the girls 800 relay team of Lauryn Bruggink, Traci Schlegel and Ceanna Rossi to a regional title for the third straight year. The boys 800 relay team of David Strait, Cody Miles, Ryan Tibbetts and Alex Estes finished third in 1:37.47, to qualify. The same team also qualified in the boys 1,600 relay, finishing second. The Rams, however, just missed making the state competition in several other relays. The girls 800 sprint medley, boys 3,200, girls 400 and girls 1,600 teams all finished fourth, just one spot out of qualifying. Individually, it was another good day for Matt Watwood and Estes. Watwood, already qualified in the discus, made state in the shot put. He finished second with a throw of 46-11. Estes, who finished second in the long jump Friday, finished third in the triple jump, jumping 41-8. “Overall, we’re taking 10 kids to compete,” Soroco coach David Bruner said. “Last year, we took seven. The kids are disappointed when they get fourth, but that’s what you want. I was proud of all of them.”

how we connected as a team. It was a balanced team attack. We were able to pass the ball and were a well-rounded team.” Although Letlow is unsure where he fits into the Bears’ scheme, he’s been told he’ll play either running back or defensive back for UNC. His preference is, of course, to play running back, but his best chance to get onto the field might be in the defensive backfield. “I know he wants to play running back — that’s his first love,” said Baumgartner, who played cornerback at Fort Lewis College in Durango. “I’m not sure where he sits on the board at UNC. I always thought he could play on the defensive side of the ball at the college level. He’s a strong safety type of

kid that could roll up as a linebacker.” Letlow will begin UNC offseason workouts after he finishes the track and field season. Currently at 195 pounds, Letlow — who runs the 40-yard dash in 4.56 seconds — said he’d like to add 15 pounds before fall camp begins in August. Until then, it’s just continuing to work hard for one of Class 1A’s most productive players. “My goal so far, not being in the program, is definitely to get on the field as a freshman,” he said. “Definitely by my sophomore year, maybe not every snap, but I want to be getting plenty of playing time.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

“We’re on cloud 10 now,” said Bearss, one-upping her postsemifinals emotions from the day before. “It feels amazing.” That ecstasy was the product of a grueling trail. Steamboat appeared ready to be washed away on several occasions, but the Sailors closed their state tournament run with their best tennis of the season. Trailing, 3-2, in the third set, they took to dominating the net and pounding Greeley West’s baseline. They finally nailed down a series of sharp service games and broke Greeley’s twice, including against the once-untouchable Waloch. “It was like a rollercoaster, going up and down,” Steamboat coach John Aragon said. “The way they played over the last four games, that’s the level of tennis we can see from them. They handled the pressure really well.” The final surge of points was actually the only time either team was able to really take control of a situation. Steamboat failed twice earlier in the match to put sets away. The Sailors had a 5-4 lead late in the first set but lost three straight games. They then seemed on the verge of walking away with an easy second-set victory but again left the door open. Steamboat led 4-1 in the second set and was within a point of going up 5-1. Bearss lost her first service game of the morning; however, and Greeley roared back to tie the match at 5. Swiggart landed an ace to help give Steamboat a 6-5 lead, then the pair got to Waloch, breaking her for the first time.

ATLANTA

The Cleveland Cavaliers were actually being challenged. Finally, LeBron James had seen enough. James scored 47 points in his best game yet of these playoffs, leading the Cavaliers to the brink of their second straight postseason sweep with a 9782 victory against the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night. Back home after two blowout losses in Cleveland, the Hawks put up their best fight of the series. It didn’t matter. They now find themselves just one defeat away from calling it a season, the Cavaliers pushing out to another 3-0 lead after breezing past Detroit in the opening round. Cleveland kept up its dominating run through the playoffs, setting an NBA record with its seventh straight double-figure win to eclipse the mark set by the 2004 Indiana Pacers. The only solace for the Hawks: They stopped Cleveland’s streak of 20-point playoff wins at three. The Hawks were only down 47-46 at the halftime, and they surged back into their first second-half lead of the series with a 13-0 run in the third quarter. But Zaza Pachulia foolishly got ejected for arguing a foul call — acting as though he might attack the officials — and Atlanta faded away down the stretch. James eclipsed his previ-

WASHINGTON

James hit a running 13-footer to send the Cavaliers to the final period with a 72-65 lead. If the Hawks had any thoughts of a comeback, the King quickly erased them. He hit a jumper near the courtside seat and slapped his hands in delight with just more than 8 minutes remaining. On

Cleveland’s next possession, James stood out near the halfcourt line, barking instructions at his teammates. Delonte West and Zydrunas Ilgauskas both popped out to set picks, and James swerved through the Atlanta defense like a sleek race car, pulling up to launch a floater just off the foul lane.

When it comes to the Washington Capitals, the Pittsburgh Penguins excel at playing from behind. They’ve done it so well they finally have the lead. The Penguins overcame a third-period deficit, survived Alex Ovechkin’s tying goal late in regulation, then won the game on Evgeni Malkin’s power-play tally 3:28 into overtime Saturday night for a 4-3 victory in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Jordan Staal, Ruslan Fedotenko and Matt Cooke also scored, and Marc-Andre Fleury made 28 saves for the Penguins, who have won three straight after dropping the first two games of the series. Since 1991, Washington has lost five series in which it blew a lead against Pittsburgh, including 20 advantages in 1992 and 1996. The winning goal came with one second remaining in the advantage. Defenseman Milan Jurcina had been sent to the

NHL PLAYOFFS ROUNDUP box for tripping Malkin to stop a possible breakaway. Malkin’s winning shot deflected off the stick of defenseman Tom Poti and past rookie goalie Simeon Varlamov, giving the Penguins a chance to close out the series Monday at Pittsburgh. The Penguins became the first road team to win in the series, and they were the first to win after scoring first. Although the series was tied 2-2, there was little debate the Penguins had played better. Sidney Crosby’s team dominated a 5-3 victory Friday night in Game 4, and — thanks to back-to-back games caused by next week’s Yanni concert in Pittsburgh — the young Capitals came home with little time to regroup from two fragile performances.

MLB Braun homers again; Brewers beat Cubs, 12-6 Steamboat Pilot & Today • Sunday, May 10, 2009

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NATIONAL LEAGUE ROUNDUP

MILWAUKEE

Craig Counsell and Ryan Braun hit back-to-back homers, and Milwaukee scored six times in the seventh inning before the lights went out. It was Braun’s second homer in as many days and came after Counsell hit his first since June 17 and 36th of his career off Cubs starter Ryan Dempster (2-2). The Brewers earned their 14th win in 18 games, the best mark in baseball during that stretch. The game was delayed for 20 minutes in the eighth inning after more than half the lights went out at Miller Park.

Marlins 3, Rockies 1 DENVER

Josh Johnson pitched eight innings of seven-hit ball to lead Florida past Colorado and Jorge De La Rosa. Johnson (3-0) won his sixth straight decision, dating back to Sept. 13. He has 10 wins in his last 11 decisions since coming back in July from Tommy John surgery. Matt Lindstrom got the final three outs for his sixth save in eight chances. Jorge De La Rosa (0-3) was almost as tough on Marlins’ hitters, striking out a career-high 12 in eight innings. He allowed four hits and walked one. Hanley Ramirez had three hits, scored twice and drove ina run.

Dodgers 8, Giants 0 LOS ANGELES

Eric Stults pitched a four-hitter for his second career shutout and the Los Angeles Dodgers earned their first win since Manny Ramirez was suspended, beating the San Francisco Giants, 8-0, on Saturday. Juan Pierre was 3-for-5 with two doubles and recorded his first three RBIs since taking over in left field for Ramirez. Juan Castro had three hits and drove in two runs for the defending National League champions, who are 1-2 since their dreadlocked slugger was banished for 50 games by Major League Baseball after testing positive for a banned drug. Stults (4-1) gave the Dodgers their first complete game of the season, going the distance for the second time in 20 career starts. The 29-year-old left-hander, who was recalled from Triple-A on April 11 to replace the injured Hiroki Kuroda in the rotation, threw 123 pitches in his third start against the Giants this season. Jonathan Sanchez (1-3) gave up five runs and six hits, walked four and struck out four in five innings. The left-hander is 0-2 with a 5.19 ERA in five starts against the Dodgers.

single during Cincinnati’s decisive rally. Harang (3-3) had many good moments on his 31st birthday, none better than the awkward swing that produced his first hit of the season in the sixth. Cincinnati sent nine batters to the plate for five runs off Kyle Lohse (3-2) in the inning, blowing open a tie game. With their third straight win, the Reds moved four games over .500 (17-13) for the first time since 2006. Harang gave up three runs — two earned — and struck out seven. Ryan Ludwick hit a tworun homer off him in the third.

Mets 10, Pirates 1 NEW YORK

Jose Reyes capped a five-run fourth with a two-run single, John Maine allowed three hits in six effective innings, and New York earned its sixth straight win. Carlos Beltran hit a long home run, David Wright tripled and drove in two runs, and Gary Sheffield had two of the Mets’ season-high 17 hits. Reyes finished with three hits, three RBIs and a stolen base. The loss was Pittsburgh’s seventh straight and 11th in 12 games after an 11-7 start. New York was without manager Jerry Manuel, who was suspended one game for making contact with umpire Bill Welke during an argument in the Mets’ 7-5 win against Philadelphia on Thursday night. Bench coach Sandy Alomar Sr. ran the team.

Armstrong has sway to make race happen Neill Woelk

BOULDER DAILY CAMERA

BOULDER

So Lance Armstrong wants to bring back big-time bicycle racing to Colorado. Two thoughts immediately come to mind: “Why not?” and “good luck.” In case you missed it, cycling’s Mr. Time for Everything Armstrong wrote on his Twitter page earlier this week that he’s been engaged in conversations with Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter about the possibility of bringing a big-time race to Colorado. That Lance is involved and that Ritter listened adds some immediate legs to the story. That dozens of folks have tried it in the past 20 years and failed ... well, we remind you, this is Lance Armstrong. Old-timers in these parts well-remember the Red Zinger/Coors Classic that called Boulder home for more than a decade from the mid1970s through the late 1980s. It was, quite simply, one of the premier bike races in the world. An event started by Celestial Seasonings founder Mo Siegel in 1975 that consisted of three stages and a few riders blossomed into a two-week extravaganza that brought the world’s best to Boulder. Names such as Davis Phinney, Greg LeMond, Bernard Hinault, Andy Hampsten, Ron Kiefel and Alexi Grewal turned America’s attention to what was then a novel sport in this country. Teams from Colombia, Russia, Mexico and all across Europe made it a point to be here — and crowds followed. The race was wildly successful in the area. For many years, the Classic finished with a circuit race around North Boulder Park, and the stage drew tens of thousands of fans. The final stage of the final race, in 1988, finished on the CU campus, and the streets were lined with folks cheering as hometown hero Davis Phinney collected a win. While based in Boulder, the race had stages all across the state — from Vail to Glenwood Springs to Aspen to Grand Junction — and then went out of state to Nevada, California and even Hawaii. But Boulder was its home, and it became one of the community’s favorite annual events. Coors, however, pulled its sponsorship after the 1988 event when organizers and the brewery couldn’t see eyeto-eye on details. Since then, dozens of folks have tried to resurrect stage racing in the state, and dozens of folks have failed. But the climate might be right for another attempt. Armstrong’s seven consecutive Tour de France victories have brought the sport closer to the mainstream. Bike racing is at least no longer a novelty, and stage races in Georgia, Missouri, New Mexico, California and points in between are experiencing at least modicums of success. The task would no doubt be a daunting one, beginning with finding a willing sponsor. But with the right leadership, the right organization and the right support team, it might just fly — and it just might be fun.

Dave Hards offers tips to a group of beginner kayakers preparing to tackle the Yampa River last week in Steamboat Springs. Local kayakers are anticipating a good year of kayaking and are starting to see the snowmelt rush through town.

Locals anticipate another big kayaking season

ete Van De Carr pays attention to all the important factors. He checks the water content of the snow, the totals compared to last year and the snowpack still waiting to melt away from the high country surrounding Steamboat Springs. But as the Yampa River babbled — babbled, not STORY BY roared — outJOEL side the open of REICHENBERGER backdoor his Backdoor Sports shop, it was without a bit of scientific thought that he spoke. “It’s awesome,” the longtime kayaking enthusiast said. “It’s average this year, and average here is awesome.” Busy afternoons at Charlie’s Hole in downtown Steamboat Springs back up Van De Carr’s faith in this year’s kayaking season. Local kayaking outfitters are confident that another solid spring runoff can outweigh any of the other factors weighing in for would-be boaters. Barry Smith, who runs the Mountain Sports Kayaking School in Steamboat Springs and teaches the sport at Colorado Mountain College, said although this year’s runoff might not match last year’s, there’s plenty to be excited about. Like Van De Carr, he finds

confidence for that opinion not just in numbers and statistics, but in real-world measures, as well. “I leave our (kayak) trailer out at the ranch,” he said, considering the 2009 spring runoff’s season last week. “April 14, the day after the ski area closed, I went to get it. I had to plow the road last year and this year. The year before, I was able to drive.” A down economy is one concern that Van De Carr and Smith shared. But because nothing that happens on Wall Street is cataclysmic enough to stop Rabbit Ears snow from eventually washing through downtown Steamboat, they were hopeful the dedication of kayakers wouldn’t be affected by the national economic situation.

Dave Hards, left, leads a group of beginner kayakers down the Yampa River last week. Hards teaches the sport at Mountain Sports Kayak School in Steamboat Springs.

“We are all affected by it, but the thing about kayakers, they are very passionate about their sport,” Van De Carr explained. “They will go no matter what. They might not buy a $400 paddle this year, but they’ll still get out there. “Snowpack is everything. That trumps the economy every time. That’s the beauty of what I do.” Van De Carr said a strong

test for damage the economy might bring will come with the Yampa River Festival, set for May 23 and 24. The festival will be largely unchanged from its format a year ago, he said. The only main addition is a riverboarding segment. The event again will be capped by the Paddling Life Pro Invitational, set for Memorial Day, May 25.

“It’s going good,” Van De Carr said about the event’s organization. “It will definitely be fun again this year. This time we’re kind of going back to our bluegrass roots. We always used to have bluegrass bands play, but got away from it. Now we’re going back, and it should be a lot of fun.” — To reach Joel Reichenberger, call 871-4253 or e-mail jreichenberger@steamboatpilot.com PAGE DESIGNED BY ALLISON MIRIANI

In the 2 1/2 years Steve Boynton has owned First String Music store, he’s seen the place become a gathering spot for musicians who play out and those who play at home. “I’ve met all sorts of people who are really pretty good musicians, but they don’t have an outlet,” Boynton said. The store sells stringed and percussion instruments and offers

private lessons in disciplines including guitar, bass, banjo and piano. Boynton also runs a recording studio in the lesson rooms, working on projects locally and remotely. Those inlets to First String have made it a kind of outlet for closet musicians, Boynton said — a place to go hang around, talk about guitars and maybe meet some people to play with. “I love the idea that the store builds community through music,” he said. “If you like biking, you go hang out at the bike

shop. … If you’re a musician, you want to go hang out every once in a while at the music store.”

said about the exhibit and the Oak Creek area. By his estimate, at the peak of the area’s coal mines, about 1,500 or 2,000 people lived in Oak Creek. The mining settlements within a five-mile radius, such as Keystone, Haybro and Juniper, increased See Exhibit, page 2D

Weed threatens Routt County hay crop Brandon Gee

Extension Agent C.J. Mucklow is worried that an English wildflower that has mysteriously appeared in Routt County could become Northwest Colorado’s next “bad weed.” “We can’t afford another whitetop,” said Mucklow, referring to what perhaps is Routt County’s most recognized and invasive noxious weed. Mucklow said whitetop is out of control and probably never will be under control again. “We’re concerned

about (yellow bedstraw) because it’s a native of England, and it has literally taken over a hay meadow near the headwaters of the Yampa River (south of Yampa). … We don’t know how it got here.” Hay is the most common crop raised in Routt County, according to the extension office’s 2008

Guide to Rural Living & SmallScale Agriculture, and Routt County is the state’s second most prolific producer of grass hay. “It’s crowding out all the vegetation on the meadow itself,” Mucklow said about the new weed on the South Routt hay meadow. “We really want to not allow it to spread. … The worstcase scenario is large, negative impacts on the hay industry.” Mucklow said the county has known about yellow bedstraw for about four years but is particularly concerned this year because the plant has become so aggressive. There are chal-

lenges to addressing the infestation, however, as the plant is so unfamiliar to the area. Yellow bedstraw is not one of the nine plants on Routt County’s named list of undesirable plants that landowners are required to control under the state’s Undesirable Plant Management Act. Yellow bedstraw also is not on noxious weed lists maintained by Colorado State University or the Colorado Department of Agriculture. “It’s such a new plant that there’s no research on it.

that number to 4,000 or 5,000, Yurich said. “In the ’20s and ’30s, it must’ve been a fantastic place to have been,” he said with a grin. Yampa and Steamboat Springs were ranching communities, so they didn’t have the diversity of Oak Creek, he said. The town also had large black and Hispanic populations. The Mount Harris mining town, between Steamboat and Hayden, also had a large black population, Yurich noted. Immigrants also arrived from countries such as Turkey, Greece, Italy, India, Japan and Lithuania. “A lot of them, they didn’t come directly to Oak Creek,” Yurich said. “They came to New York and had relatives in Chicago, so they kind of hopscotched across until they came to Oak Creek.” Many Japanese workers helped build the Moffat Railroad a century ago. The rails originally were meant to link Denver and Salt Lake City. When they stopped in Craig instead, Yurich said, many Japanese workers came to Oak Creek. The Indians worked in lettuce and spinach fields near Toponas. Yurich said he has struggled to find information about that group. He rustled up a newspaper article about Indians leasing ground on Trout Creek to farm lettuce. “Nobody that I’ve talked to really remembers them being here, but it would have been in the ’20s or so,” Yurich said. Newspaper articles have helped him get a sense of which ethnic groups came through, as did records from the mines. The coal mines also helped ramp up diversity — in a backward way. Recruiters met immigrants coming off the boats and brought them to the mines. “If they weren’t happy with the conditions, which they usually weren’t, they went on strike,” Yurich said. They “were moved out of the houses, and (the mine would) bring in a different group that spoke a different language.” The exhibit includes tales about Yurich’s own father, Frank. When he arrived in Chicago, Frank Yurich tied colored string to the streetcar he took to and from work. When the car went in to be cleaned, the string was cut off. Yurich wandered the streets for a couple of days with his shovel, pretending to work,

don’t know anything about it,” Mucklow said. “We’re just lucky that the landowner recognized a plant out of place. … We’re going to treat the whole meadow sometime in 2009 based on the results of herbicide test plots.” Those test plots, however, have shown that treatment is neither cheap nor 100 percent effective. Spray treatment costs about $30 an acre, not including application costs. “It’s on 40 acres, and it could easily spread to 400 acres,” Mucklow said. “We want to stop

it at 40. … The sprays that are effective on it are not cheap.” Yellow bedstraw is common in other parts of the country, and in some places, it is valued as unique wildflower rather than a dreaded weed. Yellow bedstraw is included in the Connecticut Botanical Society’s database of state wildflowers. It is characterized by clustered stems with four rounded corners that usually are fine and fuzzy. Its flower is fourparted and yellow, and it blooms between June and September. It has linear, sharply pointed whorls of 8 to 12. “If you see this, please let us

weed is a “List A” species as designated by the state, which means eradication of it is mandatory. Andrews said meadow knapweed has become “extremely invasive” in other parts of the country, and she urged residents to keep an eye out for it and alert officials if it is discovered. She said it particularly grows in wet pastures and riparian areas. Meadow knapweeds’ key identification points, according to the state, are flowers that are pink to purple and about the size of a nickel, leaves that are 6 inches long and 1 inch wide, and bracts with papery-fringed margins.

MILESTONES Fire hazard in forest high 75 YEARS AGO From the Friday, May 11, 1934, edition of The Steamboat Pilot: Forest Ranger Marvin Klemme states that present climatic conditions increase the fire hazard in the national forest area, particularly through Northwestern Colorado and Southern Colorado. From the standpoint of the quantity of snow laying back in the mountains and the rapid growth of vegetation, the season seems to be at least six weeks earlier than usual. In visiting the various gauges over the Routt National Forest, the forest officers found bare ground at practically all the gauges. As an example of comparison between now and this time last year: The Slide Mountain snow gauge recorded 39 inches of snow the first day of May last year, while this year the snow not only had disappeared but the weeds and grass were

about 4 inches tall around the gauge. Very few of the old timers have ever seen the Yampa and Elk rivers as low at this time of year as they are at the present time. A lot of small foothill streams have dried up and others are running just about where they usually are in the middle of July.

Counterfeit coins are circulating in Steamboat Dollars, half-dollars and twenty-five-cent pieces should be carefully scrutinized before being accepted as legal money. There are many coins of these denominations in circulation in Steamboat Springs and vicinity. Caution should be exercised in accepting any money that is being passed as silver coin. The

pieces that have been detected are very poor imitations of the legal silver money, dark in color, very light in weight and with poor engraving. Watch closely. If you are the holder of a bogus coin, it is your loss, as it will not be taken back.

Fine season for securing eggs for fish hatchery C.A. Ribbing, of Denver, left for his home Saturday after a month in Steamboat Springs assisting Sam Stevens in the trapping of rainbow trout and securing the eggs for the local hatchery. He was pleased with the result of the work this spring because the hatchery was filled with local eggs, a total of 910,000. It will not be necessary to place shipped eggs this year, as has been done each year. The rainbow eggs will hatch in 50 days from the time they were placed in the trays. The male fish that were trapped were returned to the river Tuesday.

Boynton has built up a regular performance schedule Boynton continued from 1D Potter — who recorded “Curbside Vacancy” with Boynton and is putting the finishing touches on a second album he hopes to have done this summer — said he has taken both projects from solo acoustic demos to full album tracks at the First String studio. “Every time you add a different track to the recording, it can drastically change the dynamic 20465747

of the song. … What you start with and what you come up with, a lot of times, can be vastly different,” Potter said. That evolution is one of the reasons Boynton started a home recording studio about three years ago and has grown the operation at First String. “It’s really interesting to see things kind of start as one thing and evolve into something else,” Boynton said. “It doesn’t always do that, but that’s kind of the most interesting aspect, to see something swim around a little bit and evolve into something.”

The multi-instrumentalist About seven years ago, Boynton moved to Steamboat for a solo guitar gig at Steamboat Ski Area. Before that, he had played in bands across the country, working as a studio musician on soundtracks and commercial jingles in the mid-’90s. Since then, he’s built up a regular schedule of gigs — this summer’s schedule includes

occasional Wednesday evening classical guitar shows at Cottonwood Grill, Thursday happy-hour jazz gigs at Cantina and Friday night jazz ensemble sets at Three Peaks Grill. Years of playing have given Boynton an arsenal of instruments to choose from. On the Yampa Valley Boys’ newest album, a collection of Christmas songs due out in October, Boynton layered a few tracks of his own playing into the final mix, said Yampa Valley Boys singer John Fisher. “With him being such a multi-instrumentalist, we’d come out of the recording and sit down and listen and he’d say, ‘Oh I hear this,’ and ‘Oh I hear that,’” Fisher said. “He plays anything with strings on it, and they’re all hanging there in his office.”

Sometime this summer, Boynton hopes to move First String to a larger space. Ideally, the new store would have a recording room big enough to accommodate a full band; that space could double as a classroom. “The studio stays busy enough that it warrants a little more space to record in,” he said. Boynton also would like to expand the music lessons his store offers and draw in more teachers. Adding band instruments such as woodwinds and horns to the store’s rental inventory also is part of the tentative plan. Boynton already has a lot of irons in the fire in the Steamboat music scene, Potter said, with occasional concert promotion tacked on to his schedule of performances, store operation, instrument repair and recording work. “He helps a lot of people,” Potter said. “And to have all of those things … available — lessons and production, recording and performance — he’s just a great resource for the community.” — To reach Margaret Hair, call 871-4204 or e-mail mhair@steamboatpilot.com
