A pie-eating contest, a mechanical bull and beer are closing out the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association’s slate of summer events this weekend. OktoberWest ran across town, starting with a downtown bike parade and beer tastings Friday, going to a full day of beer and events at Gondola Square on Saturday and ending with specials at ski area restaurants today. The Chamber planned the first-time fest as part of efforts to “create some vitality for the town,” Executive Vice President Sandy Evans Hall said. OktoberWest was one of several new events launched by the Chamber and Mainstreet Steamboat Springs to stimulate the Steamboat economy. Some evidence suggested that it worked. Ray Cook and Laura Mascheroni were in town from California for a wedding and swung by the fest with 3-year-old Luke Mascheroni to see a friend ride the mechanical bull. They found out about OktoberWest through a flier at their hotel.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

For stockings and stoves, Routt County residents will be turning to Craig this winter after Twentymile Coal Co. contracted out its home coal distribution to Bower Brothers Construction. Owner Bud Bower said that PAGE DESIGNED BY ALLISON MIRIANI

after more than 20 years of working closely with the mine, the construction company will begin distributing coal to individuals at the Northwest Ready Mix site on the west side of Craig. Bower said he hopes to have 1-inch and 3-inch coal available by the first weekend of October. After that, the site will

be open two to three days a week, depending on demand. Bower said he will soon set up a phone system for residents to call for details on hours, pricing and availability. “We believe the arrangement will create convenient access for residents to obtain coal for home heating.

Ski area closes trails to dispose of slash piles

Top 10 most-read online stories

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

For the week of Sept. 10 to 16

From Monday to Friday, Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. will close some summer trails while it tests an experimental method to dispose of slash piles left behind by logging operations. The ski area removed trees killed by the mountain pine beetle this summer. The parking lot at the top of Burgess Creek Road near the Thunderhead Express ski lift, the disc golf course and sections of the Zig Zag bike trail and Thunderhead hiking trails will be closed. Access to the mountain will remain open via the Yoo Hoo and Valley View trails, as well as Creekside to the upper portion of Zig Zag. The ski area is working with the Colorado State Forest Service and the U.S. Forest Service to test a new method

AROUND STEAMBOAT for disposing of slash known as mastication. As its name suggests, the process involves grinding up slash. Unlike wood chipping, however, the process leaves the forest floor in a condition that promotes regrowth. It also provides an alternative to burning in smoke-sensitive areas. As the Rocky Mountain West deals with an unprecedented mountain pine beetle epidemic, slash disposal is a major challenge. The trail closures are necessary because mastication is a dangerous process that can send debris flying as far as 300 feet.

Analyst: Gas industry hurt by permit process GRAND JUNCTION

Colorado’s natural gas industry has suffered because of the length of time it takes to grant permits, prompting companies to focus on drilling in other states, an analyst says. The industry’s recovery also has been hampered by growing natural gas stockpiles and prices, said Porter Bennett, president and CEO of the research firm Bentek Energy. The time it takes for permit applications to be processed puts Colorado at a disadvantage, Bennett said Thursday. And Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation rules going into effect this year could lengthen that period. In 2007, it took about 40 days to get a drilling permit in Colorado, 12 days in Texas and 10 days in Wyoming, Bennett said. In 2008, it was 56 days in Colorado, 19 days in Texas and 12 days in Wyoming. “Exploration is shifting to other areas,” he told an energy management symposium at Mesa State College. He said the number of drilling rigs fell 70 percent in a year-over-year comparison in the Piceance Basin in western Colorado, home to trillions of cubic feet of natural gas and some of the country’s largest oil shale deposits. In comparison, rig counts have risen in Louisiana, where the Haynesville formation is considered one of the largest domestic natural gas finds in years, and in Pennsylvania’s potentially lucrative Marcellus shale formation.

Treasury prices mostly fall as stocks increase CHARLOTTE, N.C.

Treasury prices fell Friday as investors were looking to book profits on a recent rally before next week’s debt auctions. Traders also turned to stocks at the expense of safer government bonds amid signs of an economic recovery. In late trading, the price of the benchmark 10-year note fell 19/32 to 101 11/32, and its yield rose to 3.46 percent from 3.39 percent late Thursday. The yield on the 10-year note is closely tied to rates on consumer loans such as mortgages. Stocks rose Friday, after retreating from a recent stretch of gains a day earlier. A recent rally has lifted the stock market nine of the past 11 days amid government reports showing just slight improvements in the economy.

Manic Training opens space Rugby coach now offers high-intensity sessions at Steamboat location

essions at Manic Training start and end on time. There isn’t room for lollygagging or chitchat, but owner Graham “Bushy” Muir still describes it as “lowkey.” That’s because the training is STORY BY for athletes BLYTHE TERRELL who want to come in and get down to business. Membership is open to anyone, and the fast-paced sessions keep participants panting and sweating. Muir started working out with friends and offered Manic Training in his Hayden garage before opening in Steamboat Springs three months ago. He operates in a tan warehouse building in Yampa Valley Business Park on Downhill Drive. The brown garage door rolls up, and Muir keeps it open so his athletes have a chance of catching a breeze. Nicole Williams has trained with him since February. “It’s not like anything else I’ve ever done,” she said during a 90-second break Wednesday. “Boot camp is the best way I can think of to describe it — but harder.” Robbie Shine said he started working out with Muir about a year ago. “I’ve grown up being a ski racer, so it’s similar to dry land training … but more intense,” Shine said. Muir offers morning and evening classes Monday through Friday. He tries to keep classes to 12 people or fewer and has nearly 50 members who range from ages 18 to 53. Muir said he hopes to run Manic Training full time but for now must schedule around his daytime job putting up fences.

SUNDAY FOCUS

JOHN F. RUSSELL/STAFF

Graham Muir, owner of Manic Training, has brought his brand of fitness to Steamboat Springs and is developing a strong following.

Get fit More information about Manic Training is at www.manictraining.com. The gym is at Yampa Valley Business Park on Downhill Drive, Unit B. Membership is $100 a month for three months or $90 a month for six months.

“If it keeps going as it is, I’ll try to get a few more classes in,” he said. Muir, a longtime rugby player, has been coaching rugby for more than 15 years. He guides athletes at Manic Training through full-body training sessions that focus on the core. The Wednesday afternoon

group buzzed through lunges, squats, push-ups and weight training. The exercises change every time, Muir said. His athletes have seen results. Some have dropped pounds; others have gained muscle mass. “I’ve got some girls, some who came along and couldn’t do a push-up,” Muir said. “They can now do a pull-up.” He gives newbies a free week because Manic Training isn’t for everyone. Some participants don’t like the intense workout, and Muir isn’t interested in serving once-a-week visitors. He asks people to come two to three times per week to get the full benefit.

That’s why he does memberships rather than punch cards. Participants can sign up for three or six months at a time, and Muir plans to offer free training to active military members home on leave. One visit was enough to get Williams hooked, she said. “I love it,” she said. “It’s totally addictive. It gives you a high. It’s hard to explain; it keeps you coming back for more.” Muir works his group in 1,000 square feet of space. Rubber mats cover the floor, equipment lines the walls and heavy workout music thumps

in the background. He shouts instructions as the workout switches every half-minute. Muir said he was optimistic that Manic Training would grow enough to become his livelihood. He tries to keep it simple. After all, the whole thing started with a few friends in his Hayden garage, and Muir is just leading people through the training process he prefers. “We’re not pretentious; we’re not doing anything that hasn’t been done before,” he said. “We’re just programming workouts that are tough.”

Steamboat businesses find social network footing Blythe Terrell

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Steamboat Springs businesses have been following, friending, tweeting and hashtagging their way into the nonstop world of Web 2.0. Businesses and groups are using social media to share information about sales and events in Steamboat. They’re also talking to one another, repeating Twitter tweets, making Facebook.com and LinkedIn. com connections and spreading the word about what’s shaking in Ski Town USA. Barbara Robinson, general manager of the Holiday Inn in Steamboat, called Twitter “a springboard for instantaneous promotions and updates, something for which the travel industry is suited perfectly.” The hotel posts photos of scenic spots, activities and events, Robinson said. She handles the Holiday Inn account: Steamboat HI. Twitter allows users to post updates and links containing 140 or fewer characters. The Holiday Inn posts information about events and deals, but Robinson also talks about what she’s up to for the day — playing golf in the sunshine, for example. Users can “follow” other accounts, which means that person’s updates appear on their page at Twitter.com or as a cell phone text. Applications such as TweetDeck are available to help people and businesses manage accounts, and users can post updates on Facebook and Twitter simultaneously.

If you go The Home Builders Association of Steamboat Springs & Routt County hosts “Social Networking: What’s in it for my business?” from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday at Ghost Ranch Saloon. The seminar is free for HBA members and $25 for nonmembers. Couples who buy in advance can get two tickets for $35. Information about the speaker, Brad Hanks, is at bradhanksseminars.com. Tickets are available at Ghost Ranch Saloon, Pioneer Spirits, All that Jazz, the Mac Ranch and Room 635.

Tools to begin Teri and Gary L. Wall started the Home Builders Association of Steamboat Springs & Routt County this year. The group has a Facebook page, as well as a Twitter account, where it posts information about upcoming events. On Thursday, the group is sponsoring a workshop led by Brad Hanks, who helps businesses use social media platforms. They met, coincidentally, through social media. “We connected with Brad on Facebook, and we all got to talking and said, ‘Yeah, let’s have him here,’” Teri Wall said. Businesses of all sizes can benefit from engaging in social media, Hanks said. Facebook has hundreds of millions of users globally — and it’s free, he said. But the trick to social media is being social, Hanks said. “It’s no different than what we do face to face in our networking,” he said. “It’s just a different place to do it, but we can’t go out there and lead with a sales pitch. We can’t continually barrage our customers with a message.” Social media should be treated like a cocktail party, Hanks

said. Businesses should engage in conversations about the weather, sports and other workday topics. When the time comes for business, you talk business, he said. One of the tricks of social media is measuring the success, Hanks noted. Many of the services are free to use, but all require time. Businesses need to make sure they’re getting a solid return on their investment. “Every business is going to have to determine what it is they want to measure, whether it’s units sold or relationships created, the number of fans on their fan page, number of followers on Twitter — it takes on a whole lot of components for different businesses,” Hanks said.

Tweets from Steamboat businesses ■ Tuesday from OldTownpub: TUESDAYS - Prime Rib Night at Old Town Pub. 12.95 for 8oz cut of our sloooooooooow (how many o’s in slow?) cooked... http://bit.ly/25jM6a ■ Tuesday from Big_Agnes: French fries & Tents: “Ore Ida Fries Commercial” now starring the Big Agnes Big House 6 tent. http://tinyurl.

Proceeding carefully Hanks plans to focus his talk Thursday on social media sites including Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Ecademy. The program is aimed at beginner rather than advanced social media users, he said. Plenty of businesses could stand to learn the basics, Teri Wall said. “I think I talked to about 15 people in the last week that didn’t know you could put your business on Facebook,” she said. Although social media offers free outlets to spread the word about a business, it doesn’t replace all other advertising, Hanks said. “It’s certainly not a silver bullet,” he said. “People need to understand that. I’ve known so many companies that have said, ‘Social media is great; I’m going to pull the plug on our traditional marketing. You can’t do that.”

What are we so afraid of?

OUR VIEW

Pot ordinance goes too far

Dr. Linda Halteman Lewis FOR THE PILOT & TODAY

he Steamboat Springs City Council’s draft ordinance regulating medical marijuana dispensaries goes too far. Even more concerning is that the planned ordinance’s restrictions on commercial speech are unconstitutional. The ordinance was drafted AT ISSUE in response to the opening City’s control of two medical marijuana of medical dispensaries within city limmarijuana its. Although both of those dispensaries dispensaries opened before an ordinance was put in place, the city subsequently enacted a OUR VIEW moratorium on any additional Advertising dispensaries until officials had restrictions, time to draft and approve an security ordinance regulating such busimeasures nesses. unfairly single The City Council had its out marijuana first crack at the draft ordinance this week, and while facilities members correctly removed several over-reaching provisions, their work isn’t done. The most troubling provision is one that states: “Medical marijuana dispensaries shall not display signs or otherwise advertise the presence of marijuana on the premises. This restriction shall include, but shall not be limited to, the use of signage or advertising using the word ‘marijuana’ or depictions of any portion of the marijuana plant.” In a memo to council, staff attorney Dan Foote wrote that the signage and advertising restrictions “do not present First Amendment problems because the operation of medical marijuana dispensaries is illegal under federal law. The principal purpose of this provision would be to preserve community character.” Foote is wrong, and the council would be wise to reconsider the provision. The bottom line is that a medical marijuana dispensary’s conduct has not been challenged and thus is far permissible under Colorado law. There have been a number of cases in California that have protected dispensaries there from efforts by federal authorities to shut them down. But even if a dispensary’s conduct were illegal under federal law, the fact that its conduct is legal under state law means it has a First Amendment right to advertise its business. Similarly, the Colorado Constitution’s protections for free speech would protect the dispensary’s conduct even if the First Amendment didn’t. We are dismayed to learn the city thinks it can unevenly impose limits on constitutionally protected commercial speech. If community character is a concern, then the council would do better to try to ban all dispensaries rather than place unfair restrictions on some of them. But if, as city officials have previously said, they have no intention of stopping the legal use and distribution of medical marijuana, then they should treat dispensaries like most other businesses, save a couple of minor exceptions. Instead, the city is preparing to mandate security measures not required of other businesses that sell potentially harmful and addictive substances. According to another measure in the draft ordinance, dispensaries will be required to have 24-hour security surveillance cameras with audio and video capabilities. Sufficient equipment will be required for the monitoring of all entrances and exits to the business as well as associated parking lots and the interior and exterior of the facility. Fifteen days of security video and audio must be preserved for 30 days, and the resolution on the cameras must be of high enough quality for a subject’s facial features to be identifiable in all lighting conditions. As far as we’re aware, the same requirements are not made of local liquor stores and pharmacies, which have been victims of theft in recent years. While we agree that security is important and should be required of dispensaries, the proposed requirements should be similar to what is asked of similar businesses. The city also should be reminded that Colorado residents — including Routt County voters — overwhelmingly approved Amendment 20 in 2009, thereby legalizing marijuana for medicinal use by approved patients. And the administration of President Barack Obama has made clear that federal intervention in states where medical marijuana has been legalized is a low, if not nonexistent, priority. Given these factors, it seems out of step for our city to be so zealous in its attempt to regulate medical marijuana dispensaries.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR YVHA supports 700 The board of directors of the Yampa Valley Housing Authority would like to express its support of the Steamboat 700 Community Housing Plan’s proposal to provide affordable and work force housing for the Yampa Valley community. Based upon the financial and market assumptions in the city staff’s analysis, the CHP supports the minimum affordable housing policies of the West of Steamboat Springs Area Plan. The Housing Authority supports city staff CHP recommendations and believes the CHP complements the mission of the Housing Authority. There are some details we need to work through, including: ■ Further refining the role the Housing Authority will play in the development of the affordable housing components of the project ■ Understanding the full measure of restrictions on the use of funds and lands dedicated for affordable housing by the Housing Authority We understand language will be added to the Steamboat 700 annexation agreement that will include the anti-speculation requirements and restrictions, along with imposition of a real estate transfer fee on second bulk transfers and the first individual lot sales. We recognize that the affordable housing challenge in the Yampa Valley is ultimately the result of a severe imbalance between the supply of and the demand for affordable housing. During the past few decades, the supply of new affordable housing has become relatively stagnant while the demand has continued to grow at a rapid rate. The WSSAP has correctly identified the west of Steamboat Springs area as the only potential area available for significant new affordable housing stock in Steamboat Springs. The Steamboat 700 project represents the first major project to capture some of this potential. Additionally, the Steamboat 700 CHP offers to provide a source of funds for the Housing Authority by imposing a voluntary real estate transfer fee. As you know, the lack of a sustainable funding source for the Housing Authority has stymied our efforts to move forward and accomplish our mission of providing affordable housing in the Yampa Valley

and has forced the recent reduction in our staff, programs and projects. Although the impact of this real estate transfer fee will only be felt in the longer term, we welcome this and any other creative solutions to this dilemma. As we move forward implementing the Steamboat 700 CHP, we must be mindful that variables exist that could change the total affordable housing units, both positive and negative, outlined in the WSSAP. Some of these variables are: ■ The numbers and sizes of homes needed by the community at various price and income levels ■ The changing need for specific types and sizes of affordable housing, e.g. one-bedroom, 700square-foot condominium units replaced by larger two-bedroom townhome units, as identified by future community needs assessments ■ The amount and timing of real estate transfer fee receipts ■ The condition of the financial marketplace variables, e.g. level of interest rates, construction and land costs, home mortgage market and the ability to obtain construction or long-term financing for rental or for-sale homes The Housing Authority wants to see this project progress and work toward providing needed housing for our community. We appreciate having had the opportunity to be at the table with the city and Steamboat 700 as the CHP was discussed and moving ahead. We look forward to the Housing Authority’s continued participation in reaching the goals set out by the CHP.

Time running out A letter to the editor in the Sept. 9, 2009, issue of the Steamboat Pilot & Today, titled “Thanks for asking,” by William McCawley, really hit the nail on the head. It concisely called for a public vote Nov. 3 on the upcoming Steamboat 700 annexation. It rightly said the issue was too big for a small group of people with “horses in the race.” I have not been so diplomatic on the same subject, saying that only four interest-conflicted council members should not be allowed to make such an important decision

for all of us. My first letter to the editor about Steamboat 700 was in April 2007, which I titled “Growth gorilla appears on Steamboat’s horizon.” Part of that letter called for a public vote on such a momentous issue. The first-reading vote on the 700 annexation by council is on Sept. 29. It will reveal which of the council members think he/she should commit all of us to an Anytown USA future. Final reading and vote are scheduled for Oct. 13 — less than a month away. I, too, thank Cari Hermacinski for “asking.” She and the rest of council have known for a long time how I feel. There still is time for you readers to let all the council know how you feel. Phone, e-mail, write the editor, etc. Time is running out.

Bring back races Well, the big weekend in my mind has come and gone again for the year. The Steamboat Vintage Motorcycle Races were a permanent calendar date in my life for 15 years. I rented a condo for the week and never quit smiling. I would see folks I’d met there and only saw there, and I renewed distant friendships for a week every year. I got a new coffee cup at Market on the Mountain each year. I still have two of them and use one every day to remind me of the good times in life. I still have all the T-shirts. I don’t know why you quit; probably the locals got tired of the big crowd. But I never got the feeling it was too roudy. I went to Sturgis once, and that was half more than enough. You put on a classy week of bike races, and I’ll always be grateful. They tried it in Utah, and it pretty much flopped from reports from friends who attended last week. I sure wish you would reconsider. I know you could get any support you need to start back up again. I would rent a condo for that week instantly and ride my ’67 R69S BMW all the way from West Virginia. Please consider having us back.

SPRINGFIELD, W.V. See Letters, page 5A

Emotions are running high around the health care debate. Fear, anger and resentment are all over the radio and TV, in town halls and even shouted at the president during his speech to Congress. Why are some of our citizens so afraid? The first fear mentioned is typically “socialized medicine.” One of the best examples worldwide of socialized medicine is our own Veterans Administration: It is completely government-owned and operated, with the hospitals and doctors employed by the federal government. An excellent example of partially government-run health care is Medicare: Payment comes from the government, but doctors and hospitals are private. And yet Medicare and the Veterans Administration are two of the favorite forms of health care in this country. Maybe “socialized medicine” isn’t quite as scary as we’ve been told. Great fear has been generated about a “government take-over of health care.” Do you really trust profit-centered insurance companies, whose CEOs walk away with millions of dollars in salary and bonuses and — as one of the country’s largest insurance companies did — drop 8 million clients to improve their stock price? Will they really do a better job of caring for you when you need it most? Compare this to our freedom to get to know our chosen legislative candidates and then work hard to elect them. Once in office, these people who are responsible to us are not getting wealthy from their oversight of health care and can be voted out of office if we don’t approve of their performance. We have no such control of huge multibillion-dollar insurance companies. Much fear also has been created around the ideas of government taking away choice and denying care. Our choice already is severely limited. If we have coverage, for example, there are limits depending on whether our provider is in or out of network, or whether the needed type of care is covered. Worse yet, many policy-holders find their coverage denied when they hit an arbitrary ceiling. And for folks without coverage, if you don’t have the money, you don’t get care, period. But there’s always the emergency room, right? People without coverage are forced to wait until they can’t endure the pain any longer and then go in for the most expensive care possible, paid for by everyone else. And speaking of taking care of everyone else, what has happened to care and compassion for others? That most important concept is remarkably lacking in a discussion about one of the most basic needs of humanity. From my understanding, being caring and compassionate is at the heart of Jesus’ message, and that of every other major religion. Let’s take this message to heart and pool our resources to care for all. Other countries around the world have this figured out. National health care covers everyone, for a fraction of the cost, and with much better health outcomes. “The Healing of America” See Lewis, page 5A

Salazar’s visit I would like to publicly thank Lynn Abbott for participating in a public debate (via this paper’s letters to the editor) with me on the issue of nationalizing health care. I also would like to thank this paper’s editor for publishing these letters. Why is this important? We recently had 3rd Congressional District U.S. Rep. John Salazar, a Democrat, visit Steamboat Springs. He did a photo-op on an alternative fuel city bus, a tour of Yampa Valley Regional Airport and a presentation to the Colorado Water Convention at the Steamboat Grand Resort Hotel (which cost $175 to attend). But he would not hold a town hall meeting with his Routt County constituents because, as he stated, he was afraid the participants would be too rowdy and disruptive. In other words, Routt County citizens are too inscrutable to discuss national issues, particularly health care, with him. Salazar follows in a long line of recent Democrats — some have not held town hall meetings, some have charged fees to attend their town hall meetings and some, like Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, held meetings but only with constituents

he personally screened. This is the Democrats’ version of participative democracy. Harry Truman once said that if it gets too hot in the kitchen, “it’s time to get out.” It would be appropriate, following Truman’s advice, that the citizens of the 3rd Congressional District send Salazar back to his ranch come November 2010 as we should not reward a politician who is afraid to face his constituents with re-election. It was printed in this paper that the U.S. has a poor health care system that reflects our rank of 30th in the world in life expectancy. Such a claim equates life expectancy with health care. This is faulty logic. For example, if a teenager dies in a car accident, this reflects as a lower life expectancy in the national statistics but has no relationship to health care. The U.S. homicide rate is about 2 1/2 times higher than in other industrial nations. Because we drive more, our auto fatality rate is 14.2 deaths per 100,000 people. Other countries’ death rates are much lower — 9.2 in Canada, 6.1 in Germany and 7.4 in France. The U.S. has a larger military involved in more war deaths than other countries. Regrettably, we eat considerably more than people in other countries, which is reflected in more heart disease, diabetes,

cancer, etc. When these factors are properly accounted for, as multiple researchers have shown, Americans actually live longer than people in other countries. A lot has been said recently about the fact health insurance companies charge higher premiums making their policies unaffordable to many people. The implication is that these companies are making exorbitant profits. During the past 12 months, the after-tax profit margin of large health insurers was 8.6 percent for Unum, 5 percent for Wellpoint, 4.4 percent for United Health Group, 4 percent for Cigna and 12.3 percent for Aflac. Profit margins for large U.S. industrial firms normally average about 11.5 percent. These two conclusions are substantiated by recent national opinion surveys where about 80 percent of Americans state that they like their health insurance and the quality of their health care. These are two of the points I would have liked to discuss with Rep. Salazar in a give-and-take public town hall forum. Instead, Salazar chose to have a scratchy telephone town hall discussion lasting only about 45 minutes. Salazar’s contemporaneous telephone survey showed more than 42 percent of the respondents rejected nationalizing health care.

Notwithstanding, of the approximately 12 questions asked, all were softball questions indicating the questions appeared to be prescreened. Salazar’s answers weren’t any more illuminating than the questions.

is written by journalist T.R. Reid, who lived on three continents with his family and used local health care systems in each country. His book compares health care in France, Japan, Germany, Britain and Canada on an apples-to-apples basis. These countries use a variety of systems, ranging from total government operation to free-market

insurance companies and private doctors and hospitals. The one huge difference is that their insurance companies are nonprofits; health care is considered a basic right, not a profit center. Because of their size and bargaining power, drugs (the same brand and manufacturer) cost one-quarter to one-half as much as in the U.S., and hospital and doctor costs are strictly regulated. Doctors are paid reasonably

and promptly, with extremely low malpractice insurance rates and incidence of being sued. For patients, there is more choice, less waiting (in many countries), and no denial of care. Reid provides a reasoned and informed voice in naming the benefits and drawbacks present in each system. The United States is on a precipice; we can do the morally upright thing and institute national health care for all, or we

I don’t get it There was an incident in the alley between Fourth and Fifth streets and Lincoln Avenue and Yampa Street in which a guy in his 20s deliberately pulled his truck into the path of my bike, then made faces at me, then actually chased me on foot and roared at me to try and scare me. As soon as I stopped and confronted him, his bad-boy attitude suddenly disappeared. What was that all about? This isn’t the first time I have seen this behavior. What’s up with this “I’m bad” attitude I see among some of the younger guys these days? Especially when it all disappears as soon as someone stands up to them. What happened to respect and courtesy? What’s up with randomly trying to intimidate people for no reason? I don’t get it.

VIRGIL ‘BUDDY’ RICHARD PATTERSON

1939 — 2009

Virgil “Buddy” Richard Patterson, 68, passed away Sept. 12, 2009, at his home in Steamboat Springs surrounded by family. He was born Dec. 13, 1940, in Kimball, S.D., to Richard and Bertha Patterson. Virgil grew up working with his father in their farm, but he left home at a very early age. Until his mid-20s, he traveled and worked various jobs. While working as a chain hand motor man for Boyle Brothers Drilling in Craig, he met Irene Sena during a weekend in Steamboat. They married two years later, on July 3, 1967, and moved to Leadville, where two daughters, Jeannie and Glenda, were born. Work led Virgil’s family to Utah and Nevada, but they returned to Steamboat in 1978, and “Buddy” began working construction with Tyke Pierce. In 1989, Bob Dorr asked him, “Why don’t you apply at Routt County maintenance?” After working at the Routt County Courthouse for 18 years, Virgil retired in 2007. Virgil was surrounded by women his entire life, and he loved them

all dearly. But his greatest love was his granddaughter, Jade — his “little jungle bunny.” He enjoyed his boat, country music, and an ice-cold beer with good friends. He is preceded in death by his parents, Richard Virgil and Bertha Patterson, of Vancouver, Wash. He is survived by his wife of 42 years, Irene; daughters, Jeannie and Glenda; granddaughter, Jade Patterson; five sisters: Mavis (Darrold) Baker, of Amboy, Wash.; Sheila (Harold) Clinton, of Vancouver, Wash.; Shirley Baker, of Vancouver, Wash.; Eileen Elliott, of Melbourne, Fla.; and Connie Lutz, of Mesquite, Nev.; and nieces and nephews and greatnieces and nephews too many to list. A memorial service was held Sept. 19 at Holy Name Catholic Church. May he rest in peace. Memorial donations may be sent to Northwest VNA/Hospice, 940 Central Park Drive, Suite 101, Steamboat Springs, CO 80477. Yampa Valley Funeral Home was in charge of the arrangements.

Jim Ohman was born Feb. 6, 1927, in Steamboat Springs to Russell and Blanche Ohman. He was the third-eldest in a family of nine children. He died July 29, 2009, in Coos Bay, Ore. After graduation from high school in Steamboat, he served in the U.S. Army near the end of World War II. He earned degrees from Colorado State University, the University of Northern Colorado and Florida State University. On Aug. 21, 1955, he married Betty Ruth Williams in Delta, a union that lasted nearly 54 years. Jim taught school in Colorado and New Mexico. In 1955, he moved to North Bend with Betty. He taught in the North Bend schools until his retirement in 1985. His family will miss everything about him, but they especially miss his sense of humor, way with words, common sense, quiet thoughtfulness and the wonderful breakfasts he used to make for them.

He is rememberd as a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. Jim is survived by his wife, Betty Ohman, of North Bend; daughter and son-inlaw, Rhonda and Jessie West, of Copperas Cove, Texas; daughter Shelly Ohman, of Eugene, Ore.; daughter and son-in-law Debbie Ohman and Jerry Lee, of Kirkland, Wash.; five grandchildren: Jennifer, Bob, JJ, Isaac and Kathryn; brother Cliff Ohman, of Arvada; sister Maxine Ohman, of Steamboat; sister Bea Neish, of Longmont; sister Marilyn Hendry, of Bellevue, Wash.; sister Audrey Jessing, of Kent, Wash.; sister Jeanette Hendrickson, of Fort Collins; sister Gayle Mauch, of Longmont; as well as manys nieces and nephews.

a much-needed day with his attorney, the attorney’s spokeswoman said. Najibullah Zazi had been scheduled to go to the Federal Building in Denver on Saturday. But Wendy Aiello, a spokeswoman for Zazi’s defense team, told said Zazi and his attorney contacted the FBI to cancel the meeting.

“They are meeting as client and attorney to review the case and the entire situation,” Aiello said. “Further meetings with the FBI are not being ruled out.” “I do know that Mr. Zazi is very tired,” she added. The FBI had no immediate comment. Zazi, a 24-year-old airport

shuttle driver, insists he is not involved in terrorism and has no links to al-Qaida. He is not under arrest. He completed a third day of questioning Friday and was allowed to return to his suburban Denver apartment. “The Denver FBI office has been very professional and courteous to Mr. Zazi and his family, and Mr. Zazi has cooperated fully with the Denver FBI office,” Aiello said.

Health care overhaul faces test THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

Keep going. You don’t have to fix all of it now. Just please don’t let it stall. That’s the essence of the message that Senate Democratic leaders have for their Finance Committee senators, who plan to start voting Tuesday on a remake of the nation’s health care system. Democrats on the pivotal committee are disappointed with the bill from the chairman, Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont. Republicans see a chance to deliver a stunning blow to President Barack Obama’s top domestic priority.

AROUND THE WORLD The stakes are so high because this isn’t just another committee. The 23-member panel is a microcosm of the Senate, the narrow gate through which legislation to cover the uninsured and try to control medical costs has to pass. If the committee can’t produce, then the ability of Obama and the Democrats to pass a bill this year will be seriously questioned. “If it can’t get through the Finance Committee, the mountain that has to be climbed is a much higher mountain, and I don’t know whether they’ll have

the ability to climb that mountain,” said Christine Ferguson, a Senate GOP health aide during the Bill Clinton-era health care debate. Now a George Washington University professor, Ferguson was part of an effort to find a bipartisan deal.

Russia says it no longer will deploy missiles near Poland MOSCOW

Russia said Saturday it will scrap a plan to deploy missiles near Poland since Washington has dumped a planned missile shield in Eastern Europe. It also harshly criticized Iran’s president for new comments denying the Holocaust.

Neither move, however, represented ceding any significant ground. A plan to place Iskander missiles close to the Polish border was merely a threat. And while the Kremlin has previously criticized Tehran for questioning the reality of the Holocaust, Russian leaders have refused to back Western push for tougher sanctions against Iran. It still remains unclear whether Moscow will make any significant concessions on Iran and other issues in response to President Barack Obama’s move to scrap the Bush-era plan for U.S. missile defense in Poland and the Czech Republic.

Figures aren’t available for how many residents rely on coal and allows us to focus on our core business while still ensuring that coal is available for those who may need it.” Peabody Energy owns Twentymile Coal Co. Bower said he will talk to the mine operators to determine the price of the coal. Bower Brothers will have loading equipment onsite, and Bower said the company will make large deliveries if requested. An untold number of local residents, primarily in rural areas, continue to use coal as a primary source of heat. There are no figures available for the number of residents who rely on coal, but in Oak Creek, where there is no central gas system, residents often use it in combination with other sources of heat such as propane and wood. Oak Creek resident Sandy Wisecup said she’s used coal her whole life and is currently installing a new coal-burning stove to replace an older model. Wisecup said she continues to use coal, “because I like the heat and I can afford it.” Wisecup said she uses a ton of coal per month in the winter in coal/wood cookstoves.

Her son, Tom Wisecup, said he has a propane system installed in his home but prefers to use the coal because it’s much cheaper. “I’ve got propane but it leaks, so if I do that, it’s like $300 a month or better,” he said. Tom Wisecup said he uses seven to 10 tons of coal per winter and plans to continue using it as long as he can buy it.

Permits Mine spokesman Steve Callahan said that more information about coal for home use could be available in a week. He said there are some “permitting issues,” but declined to comment further. Bower said the mine may be moving the coal distribution off-site because of regulation and liability reasons. Mine Safety & Health Administration Assistant District Manager Bill Knepp said there are no new regulations, and minimal training would be required for anyone driving onto the mine site to purchase coal. “Our only regulations would be basically: Stay in the truck and don’t get out on the property,” he said. He said drivers also would

The coal stove in Elk Tavern in Oak Creek currently isn’t being used because the weather hasn’t been too cold. Those who use coal in Routt County will need to get their coal outside of the county after Twentymile Coal Co. stopped distributing coal for home use, instead contracting the service to Bower Brothers Construction in Craig.

have to be aware of the traffic patterns in the area, but there are no restrictions on residents driving onto mine property. Routt County Planning Director Chad Phillips said permits issued by the county for the mine are for the life of the mine, and there are no new regulations that would prohibit residents from picking up coal at the site. But he suggested that insurance concerns may be an issue.

“I don’t think anything we’ve got in our books would be a roadblock to them continuing,” he said. Bower said it’s his understanding that Bower Brothers will be the only distributor of Twentymile coal for individuals. He said he will place ads and signs in the coming week to give more information. — To reach Zach Fridell, call 871-4208 or e-mail zfridell@steamboatpilot.com

Chamber’s other new event, All Arts Festival, was last month The pair marveled at the beautiful weather Saturday at Gondola Square. “I like it because it’s more than just a ski town,” Cook said. “It’s family, there’s great restaurants, entertainment, fishing, river rafting, horseback riding.” Roni Kirchhevel typically comes from Denver each year for the Steamboat Brewers’ Festival, she said. Because that event isn’t happening, her group of 15 came for OktoberWest instead. Kirchhevel said she preferred the format of past years. “I liked how it was,” she said. “There were a lot more vendors

and stuff, and we could hang out and kind of have a picnic.” The Chamber will review events and decide how to handle them next year, Evans Hall said. Its other new event was last month’s All Arts Festival, which combined visual, performing and culinary arts. Evans Hall said she saw that festival as the greatest achievement of the new events. “I was really pleased with what we were able to pull off,” she said. The events have kept Chamber staff members hopping. “I think it was a big challenge,” Evans Hall said. “I think staff has done an incredible job,

really.” Mainstreet extended its farmers market and tweaked the hours this year. The group also organized a Restaurant Week, which it plans to repeat the first week in November. “People tend to do things if there’s something special to do instead of if it’s always available to do,” Mainstreet Manager Tracy Barnett said. Mainstreet moved its chili cook-off to Labor Day this year with that goal in mind. The event was scheduled to coincide with sidewalk sales for downtown businesses, she said. Barnett also is plugging away on another new event, Sisters in Steamboat, scheduled for Oct.

16 to 18. She’s the only paid staff member for Mainstreet, so new events present a challenge. “It certainly adds to my workload, but I’ve also had a lot of people step up and volunteer,” Barnett said. Budgeting has been tricky for the Chamber and Mainstreet, both of which received less city money this year than last. The groups had to plan carefully. “We’re trying to figure out ways to cut corners that doesn’t jeopardize the quality of the event,” Barnett said. Evans Hall said the Chamber expects to repeat all of this year’s events next year and would start planning and budgeting in coming months.

ELL support in Hayden, South Routt on as-needed basis

numbers are current as of last week. Districts don’t take their official student counts, which determine how much funding they receive from the state, until Oct. 1. ELL enrollment in South Routt is down by one student from a year ago. The Hayden School District couldn’t provide exact numbers of ELL students in its schools after starting the school year Sept. 8. But Hayden Valley Elementary School Principal Rhonda Sweetser said enrollment there, which represents the largest number of ELL students in the district, has seen a “slight increase” this year.

For the rest of the day, Gebhardt and Faulk collaborate with classroom teachers and assist students individually as needed. “Our main focus is helping students learn English and become proficient in learning the academic content of their classrooms, just like their peers,” she said. “We’re really working hard here at Soda Creek to provide teachers with strategies to make instrucJOHN F.

Tatiana Achcar, executive director of Integrated Community, said the county could be seeing a bit of an “exodus” of the immigrant community because of the economic slump and lack of job opportunities for parents. “It’s a moving target, and it’s very difficult to ascertain the number of the population that has stayed and the number that has left,” she said. “Students seem to be the best number to gauge that.” Integrated Community promotes and supports the bringing together of diverse cultures in Routt and Moffat counties. Achcar said when jobs were plentiful and the region was flooded with work in the construction, landscaping, hospitality and housekeeping fields, Steamboat and surrounding communities saw an influx of seasonal workers. She said when newcomers realized the need didn’t wane, they became permanent residents, moving their families and enrolling their children in school. When that happened, ELL enrollment in area schools swelled. Steamboat’s School District had its highest number of ELL students last year with 160, up from 104 the previous year. The enrollment in Hayden more than tripled, from four students in 2006-07 to 13 in 200708. In South Routt, the district saw its biggest enrollment jump during those same years, from 14 to 23 ELL students. The growth in Steamboat created the need for the district to add full-time ELL teachers at each of its four schools. Hayden doesn’t have any dedicated ELL teachers, but Sweetser said the elementary school students could receive additional help if needed. South Routt also doesn’t have any ELL teachers, but Superintendent Scott Mader said it has ELL coordinators at each campus, one of whom is a fluent Spanish speaker, to provide additional assistance. He said ELL coordi-

nators also work to help translate during parent-teacher conferences. Mader said with less than 6 percent of the district’s enrollment representing ELL students, the district isn’t at a point where dedicated ELL teachers are needed at each school.

Cookie Lockhart unveils Oct. 18 Dry Creek auction A Web site maintained by Cookie Lockhart, of Lockhart Auction in Steamboat Springs, reveals that 42 of the remaining developed lots in the first phase of Dry Creek Village on Hayden’s east side are set to be auctioned at 1:30 p.m. Oct. 18. The 54 lots in the first phase of Dry Creek Village were released in the first two months of 2008 by codevelopers Jon Peddie, of Steamboat Springs, and partner Jim Woods, of Denver. Advertised prices for lots began at $69,900, but a more typical asking price was between $80,000 and $85,000 for a 0.17-acre lot. In late February 2008, 14 of the lots were reserved. The entrance to Dry Creek Village is about a mile south of U.S. Highway 40 on Routt County Road 37/Shelton Lane. The auction will take place nearby in the Hayden Community Center, 302 S. Shelton Lane.

August volume up slightly from same month in 2008 Bruce Carta, of Land Title Guarantee Co., reports that August unit volume reached 72 transactions, two more than in August 2008. Of the 43 residential sales in August, 26 were for $500,000 or less. In August 2008, 22 of 41 homes closed for less than half a million dollars.

Vail puts 77 properties under contract in 30 days Reporter Sarah Mausolf, of the Vail Daily, reported Sept. 12 that the Vail Valley saw a late summer spike in residential sales that gave sellers a reason to take heart. Mausolf reported: Seventy-seven residential properties went under contract between Aug. 10 and Sept. 10, according to the Vail Board of Realtors. That compares with 22 contracts between Jan. 1 and July 10, according to statistics released by the Board of Realtors. Although Vail Valley real estate hit a slump in October 2008, things could be looking up, some say. “I think people are recognizing that we already hit the bottom back in June or late May,” said Chad Brasington, chairman of the Vail Board of Realtors. For sellers, the downside is their homes are losing value, said Scott Bandoni, a real estate broker with Prudential Colorado Properties in Beaver Creek.

Home offers ‘elevated’ views Ski Trail Lane building site is steeper than Valley View ski trail

esidential elevators aren’t unheard of in Steamboat Springs, but there’s nothing in the city to match the twin elevator shafts built into a four-story duplex under construction this fall on Ski Trail Lane. Walking up STORY BY to the tempoTOM ROSS rary railing and gazing 50 feet straight down into the empty elevator shaft is a vertigo-inducing exercise. Designing, engineering and framing the 14,000-square-foot building has been a challenge for everyone involved. Another challenge has been the steepness of the lot, which provides views looking directly into the lights of the Steamboat Ski Area base, with the Steamboat gondola rising on its cable just to the north. Views of the roofed-in building catch the eye from far below at the new Mount Werner Circle traffic roundabout. Emerald Properties, of Boulder, is developing the project, and Lynx Development is supervising construction. Ragan Cahill, of Platinum Real Estate, LLC, in Boulder, is listing the two six-bedroom, 6.5-bath townhomes within the duplex at $6.2 million for the north side and $5.8 million for the south side. “This is one of the steepest building sites in Steamboat,” architect Michael Olsen said. “The grade is 34 percent. It was too steep to walk up and down the lot. It’s steep enough to be an expert ski run.” Speaking of vertigo, the ski trail of the same name at Steamboat Ski Area is steeper than the duplex building site, at 43 percent, according to staff with Steamboat Ski and Resort

Cerei Jones, of Lynx Development, and Steamboat architect Michael J.K. Olsen take in the view of the gondola building and the Steamboat Grand Resort Hotel from a staircase in a four-story duplex under construction on Ski Trail Lane.

The Emerald Properties duplex on Ski Trail Lane is the large roofed building under construction in the right center of the photograph. It is built on a lot with a challenging 34 percent grade; each home in the duplex has six bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms.

Corp. However, the duplex lot is in fact worthy of a black diamond trail designation — the Upper Valley View ski trail on the lower mountain thrills cruising skiers with a 30 percent grade. The elevators will cost about $35,000 each, and although Olsen has taken care to design a point of interest at each landing, in the end they’ll have a hard time competing with the visual impact of the completed four-story staircase. “The stairs will descend in front of three sheer walls of glass,” Lynx’s Ceri Jones said. “They will have mahogany

treads built on narrow steel stringers, and the landings will be made of elliptical pieces of glass,” so you can see through them all the way down to the lowest level. One staircase wall will be faced with stone. The entire staircase will be pulled from the wall to give the feeling of floating. And the glass landings will be lit from below, Olsen added.

More interesting light Construction began with foundation work a year ago and continued halfway into a winter that saw 400 inches of snow on the ski area.

“We fully intend to be dried in before the snow arrives this year,” Jones said. “I’m looking forward to this winter.” Jones — his first name is pronounced “Kerry” — is the mountain region manager for Lynx and has moved his family here from Boulder. The structure itself is free-standing, but the gap between it and Ski Trail Lane is spanned by a heavy steel and concrete driveway that is effectively a bridge, Jones said. His company purchased the project, complete with approvals for building code height variances, from a previ-

ous developer. Fortunately for Emerald Properties and Lynx, there is bedrock 4 to 6 feet beneath the surface of the steeply pitched lot. Jones said 250 four-inch micro piers support the construction project. Olsen said the sheer verticality of the site drove the design of the structure. He added that he worked hard to find ways to soften the mass of the building when viewed from below. Decks concealed beneath large gables supported by structural hammer beams help to achieve the goal, he said. See Duplex, page 2B

Banks canceling home equity Homeowners across the nation outraged about decline in loan option Sue McAllister and Troy Wolverton SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS

The Schulkens had their home equity credit loan frozen earlier this year, even though they continued to make their payments and their income had not changed. They are part of a class action suit against their lender, Chase, formerly Washington Mutual.

An increasing number of homeowners across the country are finding themselves unable to borrow against the equity in their home, as beleaguered banks take away a financial safety net many homeowners had counted on. And now some of those homeowners are fighting back. Cupertino, Calif., homeown-

ers Jeff and Jenifer Schulken filed suit this summer against JPMorgan Chase, charging that the bank unfairly terminated their home equity line of credit even though the couple provided documents showing that they could repay the money. “They weren’t even interested in verifying whether I could pay it back. They just want these things off the books,” Jeff Schulken said, adding he had $160,000 available on his credit line in March when he got a letter from Chase asking for tax documents.

He sent them immediately and was told when he called the bank that the inquiry was only a formality and his equity line was not in jeopardy. “The next morning, I got online and we had zero available credit,” he said. A spokeswoman for Chase said the company would not comment on pending litigation. In the early part of this decade, home equity lines of credit, or See Home equity, page 2B

Duplex continued from 1B Moving down through the two homes, each level has a greater dimension. The first, or street, level is devoted to large garages, a dramatic entryway and ski lockers. Walking down a flight — or stepping into the elevator — leads to a second level that is intended to function as a self-contained residence. It’s intended to give the owners the option of living in a home that doesn’t overwhelm a couple with its sheer size. That level “is essentially a one-bedroom house,” Olsen said. “It’s not out of scale for a couple.” The master residence ultimately will be separated from the elevator landing by a pair of carved, European-style doors, Jones said. The third level is designed to accommodate a family with young children, with a large kitchen/dining area and a flex bedroom with a folding dividing wall. The lowest level is tricked out to please young adults with a certain amount of partying on their mind. There will be a showpiece bar with a large flat-screen TV in the middle of it and a covered party deck with a substantial hot tub. The bathrooms will be made more visually exciting with custom

lighting effects worthy of a home in a large urban setting. A vertical light behind a diffusion panel will create a flowing panel in one of the bathrooms. Throughout the home, Olsen

said, he has strived to energize the spaces with the use of lighting effects. “It’s a little trendy, but we’re trying to take something that’s become commonplace in commercial buildings and translate

it into residential,” Olsen said. “I have this philosophy about light. It’s something Americans are looking for — more interesting lighting in all aspects of their lives.” Going up?

HELOCs, were a regular feature of homeownership. Longtime owners sitting on a few hundred thousand dollars in equity could easily borrow against it to remodel, pay their children’s college tuition or use as a rainy-day fund. But falling property values and the financial meltdown that started last year have led banks to cut off many HELOCs, not letting the homeowner borrow any more money against his or

her house. Attorney Steven Lezell, of Chicago law firm KamberEdelson, is representing the Schulkens and hopes to gain class-action status for their case and other similar suits. The firm filed a suit against Wells Fargo last month on behalf of an Illinois homeowner who claims the bank used faulty appraisal methods to undervalue his home and freeze his credit line. Lezell said that after the news of that lawsuit, his firm has field-

ed at least 500 calls and e-mails from homeowners who may have been similarly affected. More than half are from California, he said. Lezell said the banks’ strategies for reducing their exposure to the risk from home equity lines was to “slash and burn, and close as many HELOCs as possible, hope people don’t complain too much and just go away.” But in a statement, Wells Fargo said last month’s suit

“appears to mischaracterize credit controls designed to sustain homeownership.” Further, the company said, “We are confident in our fair and responsible lending practices, including how we determine home equity credit limits available to customers depending on the amount of equity in their home.” The bank also said it has a “fair appeals process.” Nationwide, homeowners borrowed $116 billion worth of home equity loans and lines of credit in 2008, down from about $350 billion in 2007, according to Inside Mortgage Finance. California borrowers make up 20 to 25 percent of the market. Since early 2008, lenders have been methodically suspending many homeowners’ lines of credit for one of two reasons — banks either determined that declining home values made it imprudent to extend the credit to certain homeowners, or they judged that homeowners’ worsened financial situations made them a bad credit risk. Guy Cecala, publisher of Inside Mortgage Finance Publications, said there’s no data on how many homeowners have had their HELOCs reduced or frozen in the past couple of years. But, he said, “As far as lawsuits, it’s just going to get worse, because there are more people who’ve been impacted.” The Schulkens got a $250,000 line of credit against their threebedroom Cupertino house in 2005, used about $123,000 to remodel their home and had paid down the balance to about $90,000 by the time they got the letter from Chase, Jeff Schulken said. Schulken said every month he pays extra on his mortgage and more than the minimum due on the equity line of credit, carries no credit card or other debt, and his income from the family business — a day care run from his home of 21 years — has not faltered during the recession.

USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests & Thunder Basin National Grassland Hahns Peak/Bears Ears Ranger District Steamboat Springs, Colorado The Forest Service has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) to disclose the environmental effects of implementing treatments to salvage dead and dying beetle-killed trees, reduce hazard fuels, improve forest health conditions, provide forest products; remove beetle-infested and high hazard trees; repair soil and water resource damaged areas; and decommission, relocate or maintain portions of the existing road system that is detrimentally affecting watershed health within the Little Snake North analysis area. The analysis area is located on the northern portion of the Hahns Peak/Bears Ears Ranger District, north of Hahns Peak Lake Campground, and Columbine, Colorado in Routt County, Colorado. The responsible official is Jamie Kingsbury, Hahns Peak/Bears Ears District Ranger. The Little Snake North Timber Sale and Fuels Reduction Project is an authorized project as defined under the Healthy Forests Restoration Act (HFRA) of 2003, Title I, Sec.102 (a)(4). HFRA projects are subject to 36 CFR, Part 218, Subpart A, Section 218.1, which established a pre-decisional administrative review (“objection”) process for proposed authorized hazardous fuel reduction projects (Federal Register; Vol. 69, No. 6; Friday, January 9, 2004). The Responsible Official may not issue a decision concerning an authorized project until the Reviewing Officer has responded to all pending objections; however, the Proposed Action as described in the EA is the preferred alternative. The objection process is the sole means by which administrative review of a proposed authorized hazardous fuel reduction project on National Forest System land may be sought. These authorized projects are not subject to the notice, comment, and appeal provisions set forth in part 215 of this chapter (Sec. 218.3). An objection, including attachments, must be filed (regular mail, fax, e-mail, hand-delivery, express delivery, or messenger service) with the appropriate Reviewing Officer within 30 days of the date of publication of the legal notice for the objection process. The date of the legal notice in the Steamboat Pilot is the exclusive means for calculating the time to file an objection (Sec. 218.9(a)) and those wishing to object should not rely upon dates or timeframe information provided by any other source (Sec. 218.4(b)(2)(iii)). Objections will be accepted only from those who have previously submitted written comments specific to the proposed authorized hazardous fuel reduction project during scoping or other opportunity for public comment (Sec. 218.6(a)). To file an objection, send it to: Objection Reviewing Officer Mary Peterson, Forest Supervisor Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests 2468 Jackson Street Laramie, WY 82070 Fax: (307) 745-2398 E-mail (rtf, word): appeals-rocky-mountain-medicine-bow-routt@fs.fed .us Hand-delivered: Business hours 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Mon.-Fri. (exclude holidays). Objections must be filed with the Reviewing Officer in writing. All objections shall be open to public inspection during the objection process. It is the objector’s responsibility to provide sufficient narrative description of those aspects of the proposed project being addressed, specific issues related to the project, and suggested remedies that would resolve the objection. Incorporation of documents by reference shall not be allowed. At a minimum, an objection must include the following (Sec. 218.7(d)): 1) Objector’s name and address (Sec. 218.2), with a telephone number, if available; 2) Signature or other verification of authorship upon request (a scanned signature for electronic mail may be filed with the objection); 3) When multiple names are listed on an objection, identification of the lead objector (Sec. 218.2). Verification of the identity of the lead objector shall be provided upon request; 4) The name of the proposed authorized hazardous fuel reduction project, the name and title of the Responsible Official, and the name of the National Forest and/or Ranger District on which the proposed project will be implemented. The Responsible Official may not issue a decision concerning an authorized project until the Reviewing Officer has responded to all pending objections. When no objection is filed within the 30-day time period, the Reviewing Officer shall notify the Responsible Official, and approval of the authorized project may occur on, but not before, the fifth business day following the end of the objection-filing period (Sec. 218.11). Copies of the Environmental Assessment are available upon request from the Hahns Peak/Bears Ears Ranger District Office, 925 Weiss Drive, Steamboat Springs, CO 80487, (970) 870-2299, or can be found on the Forest website at www.fs.fed.us/r2/mbr/projects/timber/index/shtml.

1st-time homebuyer deal may end Time to take advantage of tax credit runs out Nov. 30 unless Congress prolongs it Adrian Sainz

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

APRIL SAUL/PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

Workers started clearing land Monday for Dublin Terrace, an active-adult rental community being created near Philadelphia by Bruce Toll in Dresher, Pa.

New vitality comes for ‘active-adult’ housing Alan J. Heavens

THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

PHILADELPHIA

Baby boomers and activeadult housing once seemed made for each other. Smaller, maintenance-free homes, with high-end decorative touches and recreation opportunities galore, were ideal for the still young-atheart. Then the economy went south. Many boomers found they couldn’t sell the houses they owned — at least not for the prices they wanted — in order to downsize, and some U.S. builders were left awash in activeadult lots. In the Philadelphia area, “the fact that about 31 percent of available new homes are 55plus does show an imbalance between supply and demand, but nowhere near what we see in some other areas, like central Jersey, where over 64 percent of the new units are age-restricted,” said Wayne Norris, regional sales manager for Hanley Wood Market Intelligence, which tracks newhome sales. Still, from January to July, active-adult accounted for 17 percent of the region’s newhome sales, Norris said, down only slightly from 21 percent in

the same period in 2005 to 2008. That shows the market “is still holding strong, considering that the bulk (of real estate sales) has been entry-level buyers.” Many communities “are small jobs, with just six to 12 houses looking for buyers,” said activeadult market consultant William Becker of Teaneck, N.J. To boost sales, he said, some builders are telling buyers, “Here’s what we can do for you.” Others are turning to activeadult rentals, Becker said. When one of his San Francisco-area clients, saddled with hundreds of unsold units, began renting them, “the move brought in sales as well,” he said. In the case of builder Bruce E. Toll, who breaks ground this afternoon on Dublin Terrace, a 13-building, 192-unit active-adult rental community in Dresher, Pa., the decision was dictated by two other factors: local zoning and an agreement with his brother, Toll Bros. CEO Robert I. Toll, not to venture into the for-sale residential market. Units will range from 1,400 to 1,900 square feet. Monthly rents will be $2,000 to $2,600; garage spaces underneath will cost $100 a month more. A clubhouse building will house a fitness center, a pool, and a community room.

As days tick off the calendar, the life span of the much-ballyhooed tax credit for first-time homebuyers is drawing to an end — unless Congress decides to extend it. There have been more than a dozen bills introduced in Congress to prolong the life of the tax credit past the Nov. 30 deadline, and on Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid endorsed the idea of extending the credit for an additional six months. The housing market has been devastated in Reid’s home state of Nevada. This week, the White House said its economic team is evaluating the credit’s impact on home sales and will make a recommendation to President Barack Obama. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Thursday he

hasn’t “made a judgment yet” on extending the credit. “Obviously that’s something that I’m going to take a careful look at.” The credit is helping stabilize the housing market, but there are conflicting views about the practicality and cost of an extension. The National Association of Realtors and the National Association of Home Builders have launched marketing campaigns touting the credit and have pushed Congress to keep it going. But some lawmakers are balking at the cost, which may hit an estimated $15 billion — more than double the amount projected in February’s economic stimulus bill. The federal tax credit covers as much as 10 percent of the home price, or up to $8,000, for first-time buyers. Combined with low mortgage rates and falling home prices, the credit helped end the worst housing recession in a generation.

Home sales have been rising since May. Prices have stabilized and gradually are increasing in many cities. The glut of unsold homes has been pared down. The tax credit will draw about 400,000 buyers into the market this year, said Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moody’s Economy.com, who supports extending the tax credit into at least the middle of next year. “It’s too early for policy makers to step away from the market,” Zandi said. “The risks are too high.” Critics, however, see the credit as a subsidy for people who don’t need one. Charles Curtis and his wife weren’t even aware of the tax credit until they put a $895,000 all-cash offer in July on a twobedroom apartment in New York City. “It was a wow moment,” said Curtis, 27, a freelance writer and researcher, who is using their sav-

ings plus a financial gift from his parents to pay for the apartment. Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, argues the money behind the tax credit could be used for more pressing matters — such as unemployment insurance, food stamps and aid to state and local governments. “It’s really bad policy. You’re throwing a lot of money, in my mind, in the garbage,” said Baker, who actually took advantage of the $8,000 credit this year. Nevertheless, the odds that Congress will approve an extension are about 60 percent, estimates Jaret Seiberg, an analyst at the Washington Research Group. First-time homebuyers snapped up three out of 10 homes sold in July. That’s about 10 percent below the average for the previous six years, according to the National Association of Realtors.

Government considers ban on loan-help payments Alan Zibel

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

The head of the Federal Trade Commission said Thursday the agency is considering banning upfront payments to companies that advertise help for borrowers who are in trouble on their home loans. Government officials say scammers seeking to take advantage of borrowers in danger of default often charge upfront fees of $1,000 to $3,000 for help with loan modifications that rarely, if ever, pay off. “If you are concerned about keeping your home, avoid any company that asks you for a large fee in advance. That is a real red flag,” said Jon Leibowitz, chairman of the FTC. Such upfront fees already are prohibited in 20 states. His comments came as his agency announced it filed civil

charges against two companies, San Diego-based Nations Housing Modification Center and Infinity Group Services, of Orange County, Calif. The government accused both companies of charging homeowners large fees for assistance in working with their lenders but doing “little or nothing” to actually help borrowers. Separately, the agency filed additional charges against New Jersey-based United Credit Adjusters. The company, which already was targeted by the government in a credit repair scam, was accused of running a loan modification scheme under the name Loss Mitigation Services. Leibowitz said the FTC was also considering restrictions on how mortgage rescue companies can advertise their services. Ads for loan modification companies frequently appear on

late-night TV and on billboards Authorities emphasized that in some parts of the country. help is available for free from Nations Housing, for example, government-approved housing mailed homeowners official- counselors. looking letters purporting to be Homeowners can locate free from an address housing counselors on Pennsylvania at www.makingho“If you are meaffordable.gov Avenue in the concerned about or by calling 888nation’s capital. 995-HOPE.

SPORTS COMMENTARY

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

Keeping track of what is important

ryan Fletcher has spent most of his life pursuing important things. The U.S. Nordic Combined Ski Team, top finishes on the World Cup and in February, he hopes a spot on the U.S. Olympic team that will compete in Vancouver, B.C. But through it all, he’s never forgotten the one thing that’s really important to him. In 1990, when Bryan was 3 years old, doctors diagnosed him with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. For two years, Bryan and his family traveled to the Children’s Hospital in Denver for regular chemotherapy treatments. When the treatments ended, Bryan continued to make the long trips for follow-up appointments for the next two years. Bryan, who is now 23, says he still has fresh and vivid memories of the treatments. He also remembers how the community came out to support him and his family, and how so many people in Steamboat Springs helped him get through a tough time. Bryan has left the cancer behind him and is now clearly focused on making the Olympics. But in the midst of that drive, Bryan hasn’t forgotten his battle against cancer, or the impacts it had on his childhood. He’s working with two organizations that help children dealing with cancer, including the Candlelighters. Bryan has been working with the Candlelighters to organize the Walk of Hope/5K race. The running race will take place at 8 a.m. Oct. 17 at Utah’s Liberty Park, and the walk will follow at 10 a.m. “This is something I’ve been working on for a while,” Bryan said. “I just wanted to give back. I wanted to give the same way people gave to me and my family when I was a child.” Bryan said he’s wanted to give back for some time, but it’s difficult with school and skiing — between training sessions in Park City, Steamboat Springs and Lake Placid, and competing in the winter. Bryan worked with the Candlelighters to make the Walk of Hope happen. “At times it was a little hard to balance everything,” he said of organizing the event. “There are times when you don’t think you have the energy, but when it’s a good cause, you find it.” Bryan understands what children dealing with childhood cancers are going through. He’s also come to the realization that the best way to help them and their families is by raising money. He says he will continue working to make the Olympic team, and don’t be surprised if he reaches that goal, and uses his spot to help raise money and awareness for children dealing with cancer. “I look back and think that dealing with cancer might have been a good thing. I use it as motivation and it’s made me a stronger athlete,” Bryan said. “If I could beat cancer, then I can beat any challenge in my life. It taught me to fight — especially when things get tough.”

Sailors draw even, 1-1

White’s late goal forces tie for Steamboat, Battle Mountain Joel Reichenberger PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

One team was obviously disappointed and the other still excited from a late swing of fortune. Still, neither the Steamboat Springs nor Battle Mountain soccer teams left Gardner Field on Saturday with even a hint of satisfaction. Steamboat equalized the

game with a goal from Andrew White with five minutes remaining, but neither the Sailors nor the Huskies could come up with a way to break the tie, and the game ended, 1-1. “That doesn’t feel good,” White said. “Our goal coming in was to play Steamboat soccer, and we failed at that. Still, we worked hard and managed to come up with the draw.” White’s goal came in the nick of time and bailed the Sailors

out after a game of offensive struggles. Steamboat coach Rob Bohlmann urged his team on from the sidelines, hollering “One more run! One more run!” White finally obliged, receiving a crossing shot directly in front of the net, 10 yards out, from senior Connor Birch. He threw one quick move to get a pair of Battle Mountain defenders off balance, then blasted the ball around them,

past the goalie and into the back corner of the goal. “That was a very good goal,” Battle Mountain coach David Cope said. “The cross was nice and low, and (White) had a nice first touch, then picked his corner and blew it past.” White said chances like that weren’t there all day, but as the game wore on and Battle Mountain — fresh off a game See Soccer, page 3C

Gruben tops Rabbit Steamboat’s own captures 3rd annual ultra-marathon

enna Gruben said the knowledge that OktoberWest festivities awaited her at the finish line of Saturday’s Run, Rabbit Run Steamboat 50 ultra-marathon served as motivation as she ran down the trail. What STORY BY served as motivation JOEL for the wide REICHENBERGER smile she wore as she finished was harder to pinpoint. Gruben was the top women’s finisher for the second year in a row, finishing the trail in a course-record time of 9 hours, 14 minutes. That’s reason to smile. “It was spectacular,” she said, still trying to catch her breath. “I didn’t feel as prepared this year when I started, but I felt great out there. I just went out and enjoyed it.” She leaped into the arms of her husband, Matt Morrill, as she crossed the finish line. The couple was married in Grand Lake just three weeks ago. That’s reason to smile. And, in crossing the finish line, she said, she crossed the last thing off her “to do” list before she and Morrill leave on a 3 1/2 month honeymoon trip to Nepal. That is certainly reason to smile, too. “This was the last thing I had to check off,” she said, beaming. “I was waiting to get excited until I finished this race. “Now I’m excited.” Smiles abounded Saturday as finishers streamed down Mount Werner and across the base area finish line. They had started early, before the sun even crept above the mountain, and they started off slowly, climbing toward the summit of Steamboat Ski Area,

Despite positioning themselves as one of the top teams in the region and having several players win tournaments, only Tuesday really matters for the Steamboat Springs High School golf team. Starting at 9 a.m. at Haymaker Golf Course, the Sailors host the Class 3A and 4A regional golf tournament. It’s the one and only chance for players and teams to qualify for the state meet, on Oct. 5 and 6 at Highlands Ranch Golf Club in Denver.

If you go What: Class 3A and 4A regional golf tournament Where: Haymaker Golf Course When: Groups tee off at 9 a.m. Tuesday. Class 3A goes off No. 10, and Class 4A goes off No. 1

Class 3A players will tee off on No. 10, and Class 4A players tee off on No. 1, to start the day. The winning team qualifies for the state tournament, and the next seven to 11 individuals not on that team qualify for state.

The Colorado Buffaloes quieted the cacophony of criticism stemming from their bad start with a 24-0 win against Wyoming on Saturday. Quarterback Cody Hawkins returned from a concussion and directed four scorSATURDAY’S ing drives, and GAME: Rodney Stewart Buffaloes 24 returned from a Cowboys 0 hamstring injury to carry 32 times for 127 yards and two touchdowns. The Buffaloes (1-2) simplified their defensive game plan after allowing 77 points and 1,000 yards in opening their season with losses to Colorado State and Toledo, and it worked wonders. Wyoming (1-2) went threeand-out six times in the first half, when they managed just three first downs and 61 yards of offense. The Buffs led 17-0 at the half on the way to their second shutout in the Dan Hawkins era. The first was a 42-0 whitewash of MiamiOhio two years ago. It was a welcomed respite for the Buffaloes, who spent the week defending their coach and hearing about their poor play from fans and media — and even a geology professor who called out linebacker Marcus Burton in class last week, said the senior captain. After scoring just a field goal in the first half of each of their first two games, the Buffaloes scored a touchdown on their opening drive Saturday, but it took a headsup play by wide receiver Scotty McKnight, who scooped up tailback Demetrius Sumler’s fumble at the 2 and barreled into the end zone. Center Mike Iltis snapped the ball over Hawkins’ head on the Buffs’ next possession, and Cowboys linebacker Brian Hendricks recovered at the Colorado 18. But Austin McCoy was wide right on a 35-yard field goal try after three snaps yielded no yards. A failed fake punt gave the Buffs the ball at midfield and Colorado made it 10-0 on a 20yard field goal by Aric Goodman, who began his collegiate career at Wyoming before transferring to Boulder in 2007. Stewart’s 2-yard TD run made it 17-0 after cornerback Jalil Brown recovered Darius Terry’s fumble at the Cowboys 27 in the second quarter.

Steamboat softball loses in doubleheader STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The Steamboat Springs High School softball team found one positive in Saturday’s doubleheader at Eagle Valley. Unfortunately for the Sailors, that wasn’t enough to stop two lopsided losses. Steamboat lost 22-2 in the first game and 37-0 in the second. The squad actually led the first game 2-0 after the first half inning, then retired the Eagle Valley side in order: one, two, three. It wasn’t enough, but it was a positive, coach Dan Swanson said. “We got them three up, three down in that first inning,” he said. “That’s the best half inning we’ve had, but it came apart from there.” The Sailors return to action at 4 p.m. Wednesday when they host Middle Park in a doubleheader. — Pilot & Today staff W 1 1 1 0

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Few goal opportunities for both teams Soccer continued from 1C Friday — wore down, he saw them come up more and more. “It was there inconsistently, here and there,” White said. “It built up over the half. We had some opportunities, and I knew eventually we’d score.” It was enough to make up for Steamboat’s early-game lapse that gave Battle Mountain the high ground. Huskies senior Ubaldo Trujillo rocketed a goal in from almost 30 yards out just five minutes into the action. “Their defense was trying to get the ball out of their half, and I got the ball right on my foot,” Trujillo said. “I kicked it, and

they didn’t think it was going to go in.” Steamboat spent the rest of the game trying to play catchup. Christopher Holmquist bopped a shot off his head in the first half that snuck just high, then Brandon Marr was just wide after fighting through the Battle Mountain defense for a shot late in that period. For much of the late first and early second halves, the battle was waged in the middle of the field, with few opportunities for either team. Battle Mountain had the only good cracks at walking away a winner in the two, five-minute overtime periods. Bohlmann said he could

appreciate the bullets his team was able to dodge, but like nearly everyone else filing off the field after the game, he did so somberly. “Our biggest thing, we didn’t come out and play good soccer,” he said. “From the opening whistle, we didn’t have the proper mentality to find a rhythm to generate good opportunities. “We had one brilliant moment, where Andrew took it down under great pressure and had a phenomenal fisnish. If you can find a moment in a game that’s not going well, I guess that’s all right.” — To reach Joel Reichenberger, call 871-4253 or e-mail jreichenberger@steamboatpilot.com

Burch wins men’s division for 2nd year Steamboat 50 continued from 1C many jogging slowly or simply hiking the steep trail. They cut across the mountains to Rabbit Ears Peak, then turned around and made their way back. There were high moments and low moments, but when they returned, like Gruben, they were all smiling. Ryan Burch won the men’s division for the second consecutive year, and he too set a course record, finishing in 7:26. “This is just a great mountain ultra,” said Burch, who added he runs one or two ultra-marathons a month. He finished the 50 miles ahead of Bryan Goding, who was second at 8:05, and Marco Peinado, who was third at 8:14. Gruben came in ahead of Sonja Wieck, of Greenwood Village, who was second at 9:20.

Steamboat brings experienced group to tourney Golf continued from 1C Tuesday how many individuals their regions get to take. Steamboat is expected to battle for the team title with Cortez, Montrose and Battle Mountain. “Every day at practice we prepare ourselves to win, but we measure ourselves by how well we execute our shots and how well we manage the round of 18 holes,” Steamboat coach Steve Dodson said. “Do that well, and usually good things will happen.” In addition to the team wins, Steamboat brings into the tournament one of the most talented and experienced groups. Seniors Kaelen Gunderson and Scott Ptach each made state last year and enter this year’s event as two perennial low medalists. Add in juniors Alan Capistron and Skyler Martin, and the Sailors

are feeling confident. “We’re pretty strong mentally,” Ptach said. “We won our past three tournaments even though we haven’t played that solid. It’s a confidence boost. It’s our home

course again, and if we can relax and take it easy, it will all come together.” Although Steamboat is on its home course and has the resulting comfort level, playing at home can bring expectations and unwanted nerves. “It’s all mental,” assistant coach Tom Taylor said. “These guys all have the skilxls. It’s getting in the right frame of mind.” Dodson and all the players said the goal is to win the tournament and go to state as a team. A good reflection of that might be the Sept. 9 tournament at Haymaker. There, Steamboat finished in a tie for first with Battle Mountain. “We realize it’s about team golf. Every shot just isn’t for you,” Capistron said. “We all know we’re playing for the other three guys on the team, too.”

more points, and Steamboat was on its way to the threegame victory. Things were closer in the second and third games, but a strong performance by senior Colleen King helped keep Steamboat in front. She finished the night with a team-best 17 kills and had seven of them in the second game. She knocked home six in the third game. “She’s no doubt a special player, but also the ultimate teammate,” Hall said. “She’s always the first to take credit for a mistake and never anything but positive.” Hall also was quick to acknowledge the players who put King in position for those gaudy statistics. Setter Jenna Peters finished with 16 assists, and Kelsey Butler, Mattox and Tia Duryea played well receiving Rifle’s serves and converting them into settable balls. Steamboat had 14 serve receive errors against Glenwood Springs and just five Saturday. “That’s a huge improve-

For the second straight match, the Steamboat Springs girls volleyball team found itself up, 2-0, and cruising after taking the first two games from Rifle in Saturday’s home match. When confronted with the same situation Thursday at Glenwood Springs, the Sailors temporarily buckled, letting the Demons push them to five games. On Saturday, there was no such quivering. Steamboat slammed the door and cruised to a 2-0 league record and 5-1 mark on the season. Steamboat won, 25-9, 2515, 25-18. “We were focused and ready to play,” coach Wendy Hall said. “We were doing things well right off the bat, and that carried us through.” The Sailors were at their best in the opening game. Steamboat’s Jayde Mattox strung together a big run in the middle of the game to give her team a huge advantage. The Sailors led, 9-6, when she started serving and were in command, 18-6, when she finished. The Bears only scored three

ing the Rams to a 35-20 win against Nevada on Saturday. He has now thrown two touchdown passes on two attempts this season. That’s making starter Grant Stucker take notice. He’s not worried — yet. “I better step up,” Stucker said, grinning. “It’s good competition.” A standout quarterback at John W. North High School in Riverside, Calif., Morton didn’t receive many scholarship offers for his arm, despite throwing 32 touchdown

passes his senior season. He has grown into his role as a receiver at Colorado State, developing into a dangerous deep threat. Still, Morton keeps the rust off his arm by throwing a few passes in practice from time to time — just he case he’s called on by the Rams. On Saturday, Morton harkened back to those high school days, tossing a 25-yard strike to Eric Peitz on a gadget play in the first quarter. Morton took a lateral from Stucker and lofted it to a wide open Peitz.

Just like old times. “It is bringing me back a little bit,” Morton said. “I do like to throw the ball.” So does Stucker, who tossed two touchdown strikes — including a 49-yarder to Morton — and scored another TD on a 35-yard run. “Grant stepped up and made some plays for us,” Rams coach Steve Fairchild said. With the win, the Rams moved to 3-0 for the first time in 15 years. They also improved to 6-0 against the Wolf Pack (0-2) in Fort Collins. John Mosure returned to Colorado State’s backfield after

sitting out last week’s game with a head injury and rushed for 99 yards and a score. “It was nice to be out there,” Mosure said. “I feel like my old self again.” The win against Nevada tied Fairchild with Sonny Lubick at 10-6 for the second-best start by a coach in program history. Bob Davis has the best mark, going 10-5-1 through 16 games in 194748. But now the Rams move on to their biggest challenge yet — facing a ranked Brigham Young team in Provo, Utah. “We need to focus our attention on BYU,” Morton said.

Troy Tulowitzki homered for a career-best fourth game in a row, Jason Giambi hit his first home run since coming to Colorado, and the Rockies beat the Diamondbacks, 10-4, to open a little breathing space in the wild-card race. Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez hit solo home runs in the first inning, and Giambi had a three-run shot as a pinch hitter in a five-run ninth as the Rockies won for just the second time in seven games. The victory extended Colorado’s wildcard lead against the Giants to 3 1/2 games.

Dodgers 12, Giants 1 LOS ANGELES

Ronnie Belliard hit a grand slam, Matt Kemp and James Loney added back-to-back drives off former teammate Brad Penny and the Los Angeles Dodgers routed the San Francisco Giants 12-1 on Saturday.

Twins 6, Tigers 2 MINNEAPOLIS

The latest ball lost in the Metrodome’s deceiving roof spoiled Justin Verlander’s stellar start in the eighth inning, and the Minnesota Twins rallied past the Detroit Tigers, 6-2, on Saturday to move within two games of the American League Central lead. Jason Kubel’s two-run single with the bases loaded sent Verlander (16-9) to the dugout after a season-high 128 pitches.

White Sox 13, Royals 3 CHICAGO

Jake Peavy allowed three runs and three hits in five innings in his first start in more than three months as Chicago got a grand slam from Carlos Quentin, scored six times in the eighth and beat the Royals. Peavy (1-0) hadn’t pitched in a major league game since June 8 when he beat the Diamondbacks while with the Padres.

Hank Blalock homered to help lift Texas’ slumping offense, Scott Feldman picked up his 17th victory, and the Rangers kept their slim playoff hopes alive, beating the Angels. The Rangers, who snapped a five-game losing streak, moved within 6 1/2 games of the division-leading Angels in the AL West. Texas is also 6 1/2 games behind Boston in the wild-card chase.

Athletics 8, Indians 4 OAKLAND, CALIF

Oakland’s Mark Ellis homered to break the franchise record for second basemen, and the Athletics extended their winning streak to six games. Ellis connected in the second inning against Jeremy Sowers for his 79th career homer and No. 77 while playing second for the A’s.

Rays 4, Blue Jays 0 ST. PETERSBURG, FLA.

Matt Garza struck out 10 while stopping a personal ninegame winless streak and the Rays beat the Blue Jays.

Garza (8-10) allowed three hits in 7 1/3 innings in winning for the first time since beating Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay 4-2 on July 24. The right-hander is 3-5 — with all three victories coming against Toronto — in his past 15 starts.

Jeff Suppan pitched seven strong innings, and Prince Fielder set the Milwaukee record for RBIs in a season. It was the fourth straight win for Milwaukee, which hadn’t won that many in a row since May 16 to 19. The Brewers broke open a close game with five runs in the seventh inning.

Mets 3, Nationals 2 NEW YORK

Joel Reichenberger PILOT & TODAY

Connecting on the fly

spent my first month in Steamboat living in the extra bedroom at a ski-obsessed co-worker’s Stagecoach condo. One room of her house was wallpapered with posters of famous — or supposedly famous, as far as I was concerned — extreme skiers, great shots of guys flying off cliffs and over boulders. Once, as we sat in that room partaking in our only common interest, the fourth season of “Lost,” I asked who all the random people were. I think at first she thought I was joking, and she seemed stunned I would even joke about something like that. She acted like portraits of U.S. presidents surrounded us. I felt a little bit the same way Friday afternoon, when I strapped into a rally car for the first time, catching a ride on Rally Colorado media day. There weren’t an overwhelming number of people in attendance — a few local media members, sponsors’ representatives and other town dignitaries and race volunteers. The world-famous Travis Pastrana greeted as many of them as he could. See, Pastrana is little more familiar to me than those skiers on the wall. I rarely drift past MTV and have never seen his show. The only Summer X Games events I catch are those flickering past on SportsCenter. I didn’t know my driver, Andrew Comrie-Picard, either. Comrie-Picard isn’t as famous as Pastrana, but he does have his own Wikipedia page. He’s a 38-year-old Canadian who abandoned his career as a lawyer to travel the world racing cars. He competes in three race series each summer and has participated in the past three X Games. He has hosted automobile-related TV shows on two networks and will be hosting his own show on the Discovery Channel. That’s impressive, but the only thing I could really relate to was that we share the same birthday — April 28 — and both grew up on wheat farms, his in Alberta, Canada, and mine in Kansas. That was all until we started driving. I was buckled into his ultra-modified Mitsubishi so tight it almost triggered a claustrophobia I didn’t know I had. But we flew. He sped away from the starting line of the course so fast I was jammed back into my seat with more Gs than I feel when taking off in an airplane or riding a roller coaster. Calling the roads of this weekend’s Rally Colorado race “dirt roads” barely does justice. We swung up and down a dusty trail filled with loose gravel and seemingly unstable rock. We topped out at 94 miles an hour and never took a turn slower than 40. Most, we hit closer to 60. We drifted around corners, and on several occasions I could look straight out the passenger side window and see straight down the road. It was a stomach-knotinducing ride and a thrill I immediately loved. Comrie-Picard has devoted his life to that thrill, and even if I didn’t know him from the man on the moon before Friday, that is definitely something I can identify with now.

That time of year

Opportunities abound to check out changing fall colors

sking veteran Yampa Valley photographers Larry Pierce and Jim Steinberg to pick a favorite spot from which to photograph fall foliage is like asking a mother to pick a favorite child. “Only a couple of hundred,” Steinberg quipped when asked whether he’s got a special place. Both agreed: when the aspens of Colorado turn from green to yellow and orange, it’s hard to go wrong, and as nature’s fireworks fill the landscape through the next two weeks, there will be plenty of opportunities to take in breath-taking views and snap some eye-popping photos.

Of course a tight shot of a bunch of yellow leaves — with little or no great changes in contrast — can be captivating, as well. Pierce said that’s symbolic of his favorite part about the fall season: It’s simply hard to go wrong. “If you want to talk about when to shoot, any time of day is fine,” he said. “Mornings are great with low light. Evenings are better with low but warmer light. But you can shoot all day depending on what you’re after.”

What to look for

When to be where

The key is contrast. Most great fall foliage photos are less yellow-on-yellow-on-yellow and more white tree bark standing out sharply against fiery orange and yellow leaves that pop flagrantly against a bold blue sky. “You want that vibrant color,” Steinberg said. “Down in the understory, you have ferns and grasses that have dried out and frozen and in the middle you have things like berries that are still out there. Then on top you have all the great color of the leaves.” That contrast can be spread across the valley in a great wideangle shot from high on a nearby mountain, it can be the radiant yellow straight up of the leafy aspen roof lit by the sun and splayed against the sky, or it can be a few still-fresh berries, ripe and colorful against the rusty forest floor. “It’s also a great time of year to do macro work,” Steinberg said, referring to tight detail shots of small items. “You can find everything from leaf formations to berries, or once we get some cold mornings, frost on the ground and on all the plants.”

There’s no shortage of places to find worthy views. As for the best places to look, nearly anywhere will work, Pierce said, but he does have a few regular spots. Rabbit Ears and Buffalo passes have plentiful aspen trees ready to turn and are perhaps 10 days or two weeks away from their peak. Pierce also recommended the Dunckley Pass area near Yampa and the rest of the Flat Tops area. Everything west of Yampa near Stillwater Reservoir was in the process of turning yellow Friday. Steinberg, meanwhile, suggested the Flat Tops trail, a road that extends west from Yampa on Routt County Road 17, traveling 82 miles through the forest to Meeker. “That’s great for people who just want to pull off the side of the road and don’t want the crowds of Buff Pass on a Sunday,” he said. “They don’t even have to go all the way. They can just go to Ripple Creek Pass, picnic there and come back. That’s still a really sweet day.”

Playing the part of a blind bear, River Ludwick wore a bandana over his eyes and bent down, his hands grabbing for the plastic purple card that represented the food he was searching for. River was part of a group of sixth-graders participating in an exercise about how bears interact with their habitats during

Yampa Valley Science School, which started last week at PerryMansfield Performing Arts School and Camp. River’s goal was to collect enough food to survive, a task made more difficult because he couldn’t see. “I was trying to visualize where I was,” said River, acknowledging the help he received from a junior leader at the camp, who led him to spots where the colored cards were located on the ground. “It

was the most fun for the blind bears. I didn’t know where anything was.” Since 2001, three groups of sixth-graders from Routt County schools have spent a week at science school. The camp starts on a Monday and the students stay overnight at Perry-Mansfield from Tuesday to Thursday. On Friday, they take part in a community service project. See School, page 2D

Raku artist feels the heat

Dynamic pottery process involves fiery trash cans and colorful glazes

n the decade-plus that Steamboat Springs ceramics artist Julie Anderson has been making fine art sculpture out of clay, she’s learned not to become too attached to any one project. “There’s a saying that STORY BY sometimes MARGARET HAIR you’re a bug and sometimes you’re a windshield, and that’s very true in ceramics,” Anderson said. The saying is especially true when Anderson pairs throwing pieces on a pottery wheel with a dynamic firing process called Raku. She’ll teach her pottery and Raku techniques in a series of workshops this fall. “It’s a little nerve-wracking when it’s actually happening,” Anderson said about the Raku process. There are instances like the time Anderson picked up a hot piece by its rim, and the bottom half fell off. Or a windstorm can blow up suddenly during the outdoor firing process, as one did during one of Anderson’s Raku workshops this summer at Steamboat Arts & Crafts Gym. Raku began in 16th century Japan. In the 1950s, American ceramics artist Paul Soldner updated the art form to fit a firing process that’s done at a comparatively low temperature — Anderson’s Raku kiln fires at 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit, a good shade cooler than her 2,300degree electric kiln. The Raku kiln — which looks a little like a heat-insulated trash can with a firing element attached — takes about an hour to heat a ceramic piece to the right temperature. Once the piece is fired, Anderson moves it to a chamber (trash can) full of combustible material (newspaper or sawdust). “You kind of pick them up by the rim, or whatever you can hold on to, really,” Anderson said about moving the red-hot ceramics from one place to the next. It doesn’t take long for the glowing red pottery to set everything in the garage can combustion chamber on fire.

Anderson uses her potter’s wheel to turn clay into stunning art. The experienced potter will be teaching pottery classes this fall in Steamboat Springs.

Anderson lets that burn for a minute before she cuts off the airflow to the can. The resulting lack of oxygen causes a reaction in the glaze on each piece of pottery, she said. “Oxygen comes out of the

chemicals in the glaze, and the glaze changes completely. So a glaze that might be turquoise in an electric kiln might come out crazy rainbow metallic,” See Raku, page 2D

has since won numerous awards, been accepted at more than 60 film festivals and has launched Mackie’s speaking career. But it also forced him to come to terms with a depression that was part of his life. During a Thursday evening presentation at Steamboat Springs High School, Mackie, who now attends Columbia College in Chicago, said that one day he began crying at the dinner table and that his parents realized the signs

of depression in their 16-year-old son. Since that time, Mackie was hospitalized with psychosis and rediagnosed with bipolar disorder, leading him to wild mood swings between manic and depressive. “I just sort of had this emptiness I’ve never been able to fill,” Mackie narrates in his film. “I can’t see a point to dayto-day life.” See Mackie, page 2D

Anderson said. The first time Anderson taught the process at Steamboat Arts & Crafts Gym, owner and teacher Diane Davis said she was slightly unnerved. “Until I saw it done, I was kind of apprehensive because you’re working with fire. … It kind of quieted my nerves after I saw the process, but before that, you’re kind of like, ‘Oh, my gosh,’” Davis said. The end result and relatively smooth process have Davis excited to finish firing some pottery pieces she’s made, she said. Anderson learned Raku from one of her first ceramic art professors in college and practiced it regularly before putting the tech-

nique aside for several years. She picked it back up recently and has been enjoying taking on new challenges with the fiery method. “It’s a much more immediate process than putting it in the electric kiln — turning the electric kiln on and then having a finished, glazed piece a day and a half later,” she said. — To reach Margaret Hair, call 871-4204 or e-mail mhair@steamboatpilot.com

250 6th-graders are participating in the program this year School continued from 1D Rocky Mountain Youth Corps Executive Director Gretchen Van De Carr, who started the school, described the event as an opportunity to place local youths in an outdoor learning environment. “It doesn’t take them away from school but brings school to the outdoors,” she said. Van De Carr called the science school “placed-based education.” Jessica Schnittka, science school camp manager, said it provides children with a handson learning experience. “Usually, people tend to think of science as looking at test tubes though a microscope,” she said, and added that while microscopes are included, the science school allows a hands-on experience. “They’re using their five senses. Learning should be coming from them and their experience instead of us preaching.”

‘Science stuff’ This year, Van De Carr said, 250 sixth-graders are participating, including students from all three county school districts, as

well as North Routt Community Charter School, Lowell Whiteman Primary School, Christian Heritage School and homeschooled children. The cost of the school is $125 per student. Van De Carr said parents expressed a greater need for scholarship assistance this year. Partners in Routt County school-based mentors, called senior leaders, teach the sixthgraders in four blocks focusing on different research topics: trees; animals and plants that live along ponds and streams; ecosystems in aspen groves, including how bears survive there; and soil and grasses. A group of junior leaders is comprised of juniors and seniors from Steamboat Springs High School. Teachers and parents volunteer to assist with other tasks like cooking meals and cleaning up. Callie Swinsick, the junior leader who helped lead River the blind bear to food, said she returned for her second year at the school because she had a lot of fun last year. Swinsick, a senior at SSHS, said she wants

to study early childhood education in college and the more time she spends working with kids, the better. “I like to volunteer,” she said. “And hanging out with sixthgraders is totally cool.” Will Firestone, a sixth-grader at Steamboat Springs Middle School, pointed out the most

obvious benefit, to some, about science school. They’re not in school, he said. “You don’t have to be cluttered up in a classroom,” Will said. “You get to walk around and talk about a bunch of science stuff. We looked at a bunch of different plants and a rattlesnake. I like being outside, and you get to do science. I like science.” Steamboat Springs Middle School Principal Tim Bishop said the camp provided students an opportunity to get to know one another after starting at a new school. He said its teamwork and partnership aspects help set the groundwork for the students’ time during school. Plus, Bishop said, it had another benefit. “In education, we really believe hands-on learning experiences are the best, no matter what you’re learning,” he said. “That’s what science school is all about. … The hands-on piece is so powerful, not just hands-on, but they’re in the environment they’re studying.” — To reach Jack Weinstein, call 871-4203 or e-mail jweinstein@steamboatpilot.com

Mackie spreads awareness about suicide since diagnosis Mackie continued from 1D Since he was diagnosed and began receiving treatment for his mental health problems, Mackie has started to spread suicide prevention awareness. As a wrap-up to the Sept. 6 to 12 National Suicide Prevention Week, the Steamboat Springs Reaching Everyone Preventing Suicide group, known as REPS, invited Mackie to do a series of presentations across Routt County. During his stay, Mackie spoke to the public and students at Soroco and Steamboat Springs high schools and at Colorado Mountain College’s Alpine Campus. The all-school assembly at Steamboat Springs High School will be a launching pad for a new Signs of Suicide, curriculum, counselor Kelle Schmidt said.

The national curriculum includes techniques and lessons to help students and adults recognize the signs of depression in teens. “I think we all know that we’ve got this issue in our community that we want to deal with straighton and do as much prevention as we can,” Schmidt said. Mackie said one of the biggest problems in schools is the unwillingness of students, boys in particular, to admit they are dealing with depression issues. Parents who tell their children to “buck up” instead of addressing depression can create harmful situations, he said. “We put on this mask, and it’s a dangerous mask to put on,” he said, referring to students who pretend there’s nothing wrong. He said he did many of the same things before he got treatment for his depression.

Mackie’s father, Tom Mackie, also spoke at the public presentation, explaining that 50 percent of suicides are a result of untreated depression, and that anyone who thinks they may be depressed should stick with medication long enough for it to take effect. In the case of anti-depression medicines, that may be many months. “The mind is a giant chemistry experiment,” he said, explaining that mental illness is a result of a measurable chemical imbalance. Bryce Mackie said that even though he has come to understand his illness and has a better control of it than ever before, he still has bad days. The most important thing for teens to remember, he said, is to “please get help.” — To reach Zach Fridell, call 871-4208 or e-mail zfridell@steamboatpilot.com

life easier and better. The good work is appreciated.

Joke of the week If my body were a car, this is the time I would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model. I’ve got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish, and my paint job is getting a little dull … but that’s not the worst of it. My headlights are out of focus, and it’s especially hard to see things up close. My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather. My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins. It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed. My fuel rate burns inefficiently. But here’s the worst of it Almost every time I sneeze, cough or sputter … either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires.

Last-minute apple dessert for fall

’ve never really looked at the calendar to know when fall begins. From my earliest childhood memories, autumn always started with apple-picking, and the appearance of those beautiful red, green and golden fruit in farmers markets. My mother and grandmother filled our kitchen with the sweet smells of apple strudel, apple compote or baked

Missippi apple pie Serves 6 4 organic Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 8 wedges each 1 organic lemon, juiced 6 tablespoons unsalted butter 4 tablespoons light brown sugar 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 cup (125 ml) orange juice 1 box (8.5 oz/240 g) corn muffin mix 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cage-free egg 1 cup (250 ml) organic milk 1/2 cup (125 ml) plain organic yogurt 1 tablespoons pure vanilla extract Lightly whipped organic cream, premium vanilla ice cream, or vanilla frozen yogurt Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. (260 degrees C). Peel and core the apples and cut each apple into 8 wedges. Put the apple wedges in a mixing bowl. Cut the lemon in half and, holding the outstretched fingers of a hand over the apples to strain out the lemon seeds, squeeze the lemon halves. Toss the apple wedges with the juice. In a 10-inch (25-cm) ovenproof skillet, melt the butter over high heat.

COOKING WITH

Wolfgang Puck

apples sprinkled with cinnamon and drizzled with honey. This recipe is so easy you could make it any weeknight. Add the apples and saute, stirring occasionally, until the apples have begun to soften and are nicely browned, about 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle in the brown sugar, ginger, and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until a syrup forms and the apples are tender enough to pierce easily with a fork, about 5 minutes more. Stir in the orange juice, arrange the apples in an even layer in the skillet, and set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the corn muffin mix, salt, and remaining cinnamon, stirring with a wire whisk to blend them. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, yogurt, and vanilla. Add the moist ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Pour the batter evenly over the apples in the skillet. With a rubber spatula, smooth the surface. Put the skillet in the oven and bake until the cornbread crust is golden brown and a knife inserted into it comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Serve hot or warm, using a large serving spoon to scoop the cornbread crust and apples into individual serving bowls. Serve with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or frozen yogurt.
