County to continue
streamlining services
BY JOE MOYLANDAILY PRESS WRITER
As state and federal politi-cians continue to struggle with balancing their budgets, local officials pledged to continue to streamline government services to ensure Moffat County stays in the black.
Moffat County Commissioner Audrey Danner voiced that sen-timent Friday night during the annual State of the County din-ner at the Holiday Inn of Craig, 300 S. Colorado Highway 13.
More than 80 people lis-tened to Danner cite the loss of energy impact assistance grants — which at one time funded road, infrastructure and social service projects — as just one of the many signs of a struggling economy.
And as the Feds and state leg-islators tighten their proverbial belts, Danner said the county must also get creative in how it continues to provide valuable services.
“In order to meet our com-munity needs and maintain a balanced budget, we continue to prioritize and plan effective strategies,” Danner said. “Our

Signs indicate the City of Craig’s financial picture is improving, leading city officials to adopt an attitude of “cautious optimism,” Craig Mayor Terry Carwile told an audience of more than 80 peo-ple Friday night.
Carwile spoke to the city’s fiscal health during his State of the City address, one of several speeches given by local and state officials during the annual the State of the County event at Holiday Inn of Craig.
Sales tax revenues exceeded budget expectations by $245,000 last year, he said.
Yet he emphasized the econom-ic storm has not yet passed.
“There is still cause for opti-mism, and there is still a need for caution in our approach to the city’s financial health,” Carwile said.
For that reason, the city is bud-geting only for a 4 percent increase over 2011.
“(The) council recognizes the importance of working within
their means,” he said.City Manager Jim Ferree agreed
with the mayor’s analysis.“Compared to the past couple
of years, we’re pretty optimistic,” he said after the event.
However, “we did budget conservatively … because a few months does not necessarily signal a trend,” he said.
Although sales tax revenue is on

At a glance ...• Craig mayor Terry Carwile high-lighted city’s financial future during his State of the City address Friday night at Holiday Inn.• His speech was one of several given by local and state officials at the annual State of the County event.• Mayor: Sales tax revenue exceeded budget predictions in 2011, but city councilors and staff are still taking a “conservative” approach to the 2012 budget.• Carwile also pointed to an estimated $17 million in energy impact assis-tance grants that could come available.• The figure is “profoundly insuf-ficient” for offsetting costs associated with energy development, he said.

About 20 miles east of Craig an opportunity is waiting to be fully
developed.Yampa Valley Regional
Airport in Hayden brings visi-tors from just about everywhere to the Yampa Valley.
And, if these travelers’ interests are piqued
enough, hopefully their stop in the area includes visiting Craig and Moffat County.
But herein lies the prob-lem.
A lack of promotion at the airport means new arrivals know little about what lies west of Routt County.
Yes, there are a few signs and brochures at the airport hinting at what they could find beyond Hayden town limits, but it’s not enough to draw the crowd it could and should.
The editorial board sus-pects this lack of vision may be attributed to the invis-
ible wall between the two counties. According to this logic, if it’s in Routt County, it belongs to Steamboat Springs.
This thinking prevents Moffat County from capital-izing on the largely untapped asset that is the airport in Hayden and the visitors it regularly shuttles in and out.
Putting out more bro-chures and signs promoting the rich outdoor recreational opportunities in Moffat County is a good start to correcting the problem.
So is working with Alpine Taxi to give out coupons for Craig restaurants and attrac-tions to visitors bound for Steamboat.
A shuttle from the air-
port could bring new arriv-als to major Craig events like Whittle the Wood and Wyman Museum’s Winter Festival.
Ultimately, though, the solution must include a broader vision for luring airport traffic to Moffat County. A master plan is in order, and everyone — namely local businesses and agencies — must be on board with it.
The Editorial Board contends more Craig busi-ness owners would be will-ing to advertise at YVRA if they realized how rich a resource it is. The same goes for agencies like the Craig Chamber of Commerce and the Craig/Moffat Economic Development Partnership.
Craig and Moffat County have two choices.
Option one: Continue to allow tourists to shuttle east on Highway 40 with little idea of, or little interest in, what they’re missing in Moffat County.
Option two: Recognize YVRA as a major transpor-tation hub and take advan-tage of it.
It should be obvious which choice is wiser.

Supreme Court should reconsider Citizens united decision
To the editor:We know there has always
been and probably always will be money in politics, affecting decisions from the budget, envi-ronment, civil rights, and this year especially, women’s rights.
However, it appears we may have the opportunity to revisit the ridiculous Citizens United Supreme Court Decision, thanks to Montana.
It has been recently noted almost all of the funding for the primaries is coming from four or five people. Very wealthy people who will spend whatever it takes to get their particular candidate into office, and then their priorities will become the issues most fervent-ly addressed.
It is outrageous the amount of money being spent, especial-ly in times that are so difficult for the average person. Imagine just giving some of that money to pay off people’s homes that are under water, or helping with medical bills, etc. I digress.
The Citizens United case, crazily, found corporations have a free speech right to spend unlimited sums of money influ-encing our elections, as if cor-porations were people. They aren’t.
Candidates who spend the most money win elections 94 percent of the time. That’s not an election, that’s an auction.
The U.S. Supreme Court has a chance now to fix the enormous mistake it made in the Citizens United decision. A Montana case challenging that Supreme Court decision has just been appealed back to the court (American Tradition Partnership v. Bullock).
Justices Ginsburg and Kennedy just issued an extraor-dinary statement, calling on their fellow justices “to consid-er whether, in light of the huge sums currently deployed to buy candidates’ allegiance, Citizens United should continue to hold sway.”
Let’s hope they reconsider and then maybe I’ll feel like my $3 or $5 contribution actually helps support my candidate of choice rather than just opt out of the whole process.
I somehow doubt a constitu-ent who contributes, say $20, will have any sway over the decision-making after the elec-tion results are in, but someone who backed you with millions probably will get their way on whatever their pet issue is.
Please, let’s stay focused people.

the rise, other indicators look less promising.
Gov. John Hickenlooper plans to restore $10 million to the state’s energy impact assistance grant fund, which is designed to offset the indirect costs of energy devel-opment, like road and waterline repairs, Carwile said.
The state has “simply raided that fund” to balance its budget, he said after the event.
All told, an estimated $17 mil-lion in grant funds could be avail-able, but that amount is “pro-foundly insufficient to address impact needs across the state, especially in the face of a sig-nificant upturn in energy develop-ment,” he told the audience.
New commercial developments, like the arrival of Tebo Center, were “encouraging,” the mayor said, yet legislation regarding coal-fired power plants could have a negative impact on local mines, he said after the event.
Carwile touched upon other 2011 highlights, including the rein-troduction of mail-in ballots in April’s city election.
The new system led to a siz-able boost in voter participation. “Mail-in ballots will be the norm for future municipal elections,” he said.
The completion of Colorado Northwestern Community College’s new Craig campus was another significant event, he said.
“I believe the CNCC Craig campus will be a social and eco-nomic game changer for our com-munity in the years to come,” he said.

Where are you?What are you doing?Who are you with?For a teenager entangled in
an unhealthy relationship, the stream of text messages from a boyfriend or girlfriend can be constant, Carol Romero-Crossman said.
“They never get a break,” said Romero-Crossman, youth ser-vices coordinator and children’s advocate with Advocates-Crisis Support Services.
Members of Advocates and its teen program, Stopping Abuse For Ever, are educating Craig teens on this and other acts of dating violence at local schools in recognition of Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month.
SAFE members spoke to Craig Middle School eighth-graders Feb. 14. The group’s work will extend into late March, when its members plan to make a presentation to the Moffat County High School freshman class.
Teen dating violence can manifest itself as physical abuse, but it also takes more subtle forms, such as incessant text messages or calls from a boyfriend or girlfriend.
In these cases, cell phones become a means of controlling a significant other, Romero-Crossman said.
Teens may not recognize con-trolling behavior as a warn-ing sign of a soured relation-ship, MCHS counselor Carroll Moore said.
Students who are new to the dating scene are “flattered, maybe initially,” by the con-stant attention, she said. “And
then after a while, it starts get-ting old.”
Reported instances of physi-cal abuse among teens is rare, but relationships where one member is being controlled are not unheard of, even in cases where males are the victims, Moore said.
Romero-Crossman said it’s difficult to gauge how often teen dating violence occurs.
“Unfortunately, the teenag-ers are kind of in a grouping where they don’t really realize that this is going on in their relationships,” she said.
She believes part of the prob-lem is many instances of teen dating violence go unreported because teenagers accept it as normal.
Kirstie McPherson, SAFE member, is of the s a m e mind..
“I t ’s n o t s o m e -t h i n g t h a t p e o p l e come and openly talk about,” she said. “(Teens) think it’s accepted in society,”
If the behavior goes uncor-rected, there’s a chance it
could escalate into domestic violence when teenagers enter adult relation-ships, Romero-Crossman said.
Which is why she believes it’s urgent to educate teens about dating violence now.
“I’m try-ing so hard to get the idea across to them that you can’t treat people like this,” Romero-Crossman said. “It is not acceptable behavior.”
Bridget Manley can be reached at 875-1793 or [email protected].

200 plus employees are at the core of how Moffat County provides excellent service.”
Rather than allow the county to run a deficit in a time of decreased assistance from the state and federal governments, Danner said the Moffat County Commission adopted a stra-tegic plan to help streamline intergovernmental departments to make them more efficient and less costly.
The plan is broken up into three pieces — continue to develop a strong energy based economy, maintain a balanced regulatory environment, and develop an effective and effi-cient government.
“We are working with our department heads and other elected officials to find those efficiencies in costs, staffing and effectively provide services,” Danner said.
The financial overview of the county was up and down in 2011, which ultimately resulted in a fairly flat budget going into this year, Danner said.
Danner pointed to the fact total revenue decreased between 2010 and 2011 by 8.2 percent, or $2.9 million, and spending increased by four percent, or $1.4 million.
What kept the county afloat was the energy industry, Danner
said, which helped offset the ebbs and flows of the 2011 bud-get and allowed the county to increase spending on capital improvement projects by $3.5 million without Energy Impact Grant assistance.
“It has become clear that we will not be able to depend on energy impact grant assis-tance in the foreseeable future,” Danner said. “But, we will con-tinue capital improvement proj-ects this year.”
Danner said conservative budgeting in 2011 was reward-ed with higher revenues than anticipated.
Some of those funds are being used in 2012 on improvements to Shadow Mountain, increased recreation opportunities through improved river access on the east side of Ranney St., and improved access to govern-ment documents both in house and online.
“The sign above my door reads ‘to serve the people of Moffat County,’” Danner said. “That is what your commission-ers were elected to do and that is what we will continue to do.”

of understanding the impacts, embracing the industry, and protecting the community as well as our water and air.”
However easy to appeal to the lifeblood of the region, White said it wouldn’t be a State of the State speech without some budget talk.
She pointed to the importance of the energy industry and to the small business sector as key areas to help rectify a statewide lack in revenue generation.
In the last 10 years Colorado’s population has grown by 15 percent; student enrollment is up 16 percent; higher education enrollment is up 35 percent; the prison population has grown by 34 percent; and the number of residents on Medicaid has sky-rocketed by 114 percent.
Yet, White said, the state’s general fund revenue has risen by just eight percent in the same time period.
“It’s time to do the math,” White said. “Without improved revenue streams, we must still face some difficult decisions in this budget year.”
In addition to eliminating burdensome and costly regula-tions on energy and business, White believes there is more opportunity to grow those reve-nue streams by promoting tour-ism in the state.
She joked she had to address the topic because her husband, Al, who was in the audience, is the head the Colorado Tourism Office.
“I couldn’t get away without mentioning something about
tourism,” White said. “or I wouldn’t get a ride home.”
But in all seriousness, White pointed to the fact that for every $1 spent on promotion, Colorado receives $7 in the form of sales and use tax from visitors.
In addition, White pointed to last summer’s USA Pro Cycling Challenge that had a reported worldwide viewing audience of 20 million people and generated more than $80 million in eco-
nomic activity.“The people who watched
this race and fell in love with Colorado will be those we wel-come to our state in the coming months,” White said. “We have made great strides in promoting our state and we need to con-tinue to be competitive.”

Question: What types of siding hold up well in North West Colorado?Answer: Cement Fiberboard or Hardi-board is a great choice. It requires less maintenance than wood, is fireproof and termite proof. It also carries a 50-year warranty on many brands. Stucco siding is a concrete layer with an acrylic top layer. Some stucco has been prone to problems, however a high quality product will prove durable in this climate. Real wood siding such as Pine, Cedar, Spruce etc., can hold up for centuries, however it does need periodic care such as staining or painting.

The hospital board approved spending up to $125,000 to renovate the clinic, but the lowest bids for the project came in at around $180,000, Jennifer Riley, TMH chief of organizational excellence, said Friday. Hospital officials will postpone the project and bring it back to the board at a later date. Until then, the Rehabilitation Center will remain at its cur-rent location in Centennial Mall. • Heard a report from Chief Executive Officer George Rohrich. Dr. Scott Ellis, cur-rent chief of staff, has expressed interest in the chief medical officer position, a new supervisory role at the hospital. TMH offi-cials are discussing the position.

THE LITTLE SNAKE RIVER VALLEY (Wyo.) School girls varsity basketball team beat Farson-Eden for the third time this season Friday in the semifinals of the 1A West Regional Tournament in Lander, Wyo., to earn a spot in today’s championship game. The Rattlers will play another team for a third time this year when they match-up against Cokeville in the finals.
BY JOSHUA GORDONDAILY PRESS WRITER
Farson-Eden gave the Little Snake River Valley (Wyo.) School girls varsity players their closest game of an undefeated season this year.
On Jan. 20, Farson came close to upending the Rattlers, but ulti-mately fell, 37-31, at home.
The Pronghorns met a similar fate Feb. 11 in Baggs, Wyo., falling 45-33.
On Friday, Farson had one more chance to beat LSRV in the semifinals of the 1A West Regional Tournament in Lander, Wyo.
However, the Rattlers again sti-fled the Pronghorns offense, scor-ing a 50-34 victory and a spot in the regional championship game today against Cokeville.
“We knew (Farson) was going to try and break through our press, so we really worked on our half-court defense and we were able to do that well,” head coach Jodi Stanley said. “We would go up by 10 or 12, then they would make a run. I was pleased with the girls’ composure and being able to withstand the runs.”
The Pronghorns shut down two of the Rattlers (24-0) leading scor-ers, seniors Caelee Criswell and Morgan Wille, so the team saw other girls step up.
Sophomore Lydia Skalberg led the way with 20 points and senior Shelby McKee and junior Taylor
Kaisler each added 10.On Thursday, the Rattlers got
their first win of the tournament, beating St. Stephens, 78-54.
Criswell led the way with 22 points and Kaisler added 16.
“St. Stephens was poised to cause us problems with good out-side shooting and a really big girl inside,” Stanley said. “But they couldn’t match our team speed and they turned the ball over a lot.”
The LSRV-Cokeville game tips off at 2:45 p.m. today in Lander.
Like Farson, Cokeville has lost to the Rattlers twice this season — 47-36 on Jan. 21 and 58-48 on Feb. 10.
“Cokeville bounced us from the state tournament last season,” Stanley said. “It’s going to be a good match-up.”

Dear Annie: For the past year, my wife, “Janie,” has been getting hot flashes. She is always broiling in the house
while the rest of the fam-ily freezes. She insists on keep-ing the tem-perature at 70, while the rest of us are most comfortable at 74. She recently purchased warm slippers for everyone and suggested we wear long sleeves.
Annie, I like to wear T-shirts and walk barefoot. I work long hours, and when I come home, I like to shed most of my clothes. I pay the mortgage and should not be freezing in my own home.
Our family doctor said the hot flashes could last for years. I say she is disrespectful to all of us. She says I am insensitive. We are at an impasse.
I found out she is looking for an apartment. I love my wife and beg you to help us before it’s too late.
— Upstate New York Where It’s 20 Degrees Outside
Dear New York: You think you’re uncomfortable? Imagine
how your wife feels with an internal thermostat that peri-odically sets her on fire.
The U.S. Dept. of Energy recommends that your home thermostat be set at 68 degrees in winter (78 degrees in sum-mer). You can warm up more easily than your wife can cool down.
We recommend a compro-mise. You offer to be comfort-able in sweats if she will speak to her doctor about medication to control her hot flashes or visit a health food store for more natural remedies.
A pair of slippers and some hot cocoa seems a small price to pay to save your marriage.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You could achieve some ample material gains, especially in an arrangement where you are doing business with someone who is of the opposite gender.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You’d be better off managing a critical matter yourself rather than giving the assign-ment to someone who has never done the job before. At least you’ll know what you’re doing
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — It could give you a wonderful feeling to do something for a loved one without thought of sacrifice. Follow the dictates of your compassion.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Don’t be reluctant to express your gratitude to someone who has been kind to you just because you think it may show weakness on your part. On the contrary, it shows appreciation and strength of character.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Some kind of friendly competition will prove to be an enjoyable experience for you. You’ll have so much fun that whether you win or lose, you’ll do it with grace.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Don’t get upset if your ears start ringing, because any talk about you is likely to be quite complimentary, and you’ll hear about it later.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you feel there is a chance you might not have shown the proper consideration to a loved one lately, you should find a way to make amends. Hugs and kisses generally work well.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — When your mate needs a bit of cheering up, it behooves you to show a little extra consideration and appreciation for who he or she is. That can generally put the relationship back on course.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — You’re entering a cycle in which situa-tions that affect your work or earnings are likely to start showing some improve-ment. If it hasn’t happened yet, it should be occurring soon.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If you’re an unattached Sagittarian who has been hoping to find someone special, get out and circulate, with an eye to where the nice people generally hang out.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You have a special gift for being able to conclude matters successfully, in ways where no one is likely to feel short-changed. Do so when a situation calls for it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Go out of your way to compliment someone who is deserving of it. Your comments could prove to be more important to that person than you may realize.

Sneaker fanatics who lined up outside stores overnight got their first crack Friday at a new outer-space themed Nike bas-ketball shoe, getting so unruly in some cities that police were called to restore order.
In Orlando, Fla., more than 100 deputies in riot gear quelled a crowd awaiting the release of the $220 Foamposite Galaxy. In at a mall in Hyattsville, Md., one person was arrested for disorder-ly conduct. And in Greenwood, Ind., police said they canceled a Nike release after 400-600 peo-ple showed up Thursday night
at a mall and were “panicking to get to the front of the line.” The shoe’s release coincides with this weekend’s NBA All-Star Game in Orlando.
The shoes, part of a space-themed collection, are a draw for so-called “sneakerheads” who collect signature sports footgear and can resell it online at a marked-up price, sometimes for hundreds more than retail.
Malls in Florida, New York and Maryland reported bring-ing in police to manage fans clamoring for the purple and blue shoes, which have star-like
flecks of white. Some shoppers lucky enough to get their hands on a pair immediately posted them for sale on eBay at sky-rocketing prices: $1,000 and up.
Authorities did have some warning the shoe could cause mayhem. Earlier this month, police were called to a mall out-side Albany after pushing and shoving broke out during a pro-motional event for the shoe.
Orlando resident Gaby Llanos was in the crowd waiting to buy two pairs of the shoes when the rush started outside Florida Mall.
“It was complete havoc,” said Llanos, 23. “People were run-ning and hiding in trees so the police wouldn’t find them.”
Nike issued a statement Friday, saying, “As with the launch of all Nike products, consumer safety and security is of paramount importance. We encourage anyone wishing to purchase our product to do so in a respectful and safe manner.”
Nike spokesman Matthew Kneller said the Nike store in New York City immediately sold out Friday. The shoes were also quickly out of stock in
Cambridge, Mass., where people began lining up outside a House of Hoops by Foot Locker at 3 p.m. Thursday.
The store only had 12 pairs of the shoes, however, so it handed out tickets to the first dozen people in line, and only those people waited, store manager Terrio Lakes said.
The shoes — which are being sold at Nike stores and select Foot Lockers, House of Hoops and Foot Action stores — are part of the Nike’s Foamposite line which originally debuted in 1998.

Not so confident?Are consumers feeling better about the economy?
We find out on Tuesday when the Conference Board releases its measure of consumer confidence for February. The mood dipped last month after rising in November and December, but economists are forecasting a slight increase.
On the dotted line The National Association of Realtors releases its pending home sales index for January on Monday.
It’s a measure of the number of homebuyers who signed contracts. There’s a one- to two-month lag between a signed contract and a completed deal, so contract signings can signal the direction of the housing market.
Costco’s earningsCostco reports fiscal second-quarter results on Wednesday.
Aided by rising gasoline prices, the wholesale club operator reported that sales in December and January increased from a year earlier. It has been keeping prices low on gas, food and other products to gain market share at the expense of its profit margins.

made their run in the second half, fueled by Englehart’s team-leading 24 points.
“(Ten Sleep) was able to break our press early, but in the sec-ond half we ran away with it,” Prestrud said. “They had some good guards who could push the ball down the court. We didn’t always feel comfortable and we got into some foul trouble, but overall we played good.”
Englehart also lead the Rattlers in scoring against St. Stephens with 23 points and Wille added 22.
“We took the lead early against St. Stephens and we never backed down,” Prestrud said. “It was a fun game and we had a lot of guys score.”

LAFAYETTE — Melissa Camilletti said the Moffat County High School girls varsity basketball team works on free throws all the time in practice.
The shots from the charity strip may be uncontested, but are not always a given.
The Bulldogs showed hard work pays off Friday in the sec-ond round of the 4A state play-offs against Thompson Valley, as they went 30 for 35 from the free throw line, including a 10 for 10 run to start the fourth quarter, en route to a 65-41 victory.
“When both teams got in foul trouble, we finished and they didn’t,” said Melissa, an MCHS senior. “Our free throws were cru-cial and we stepped up and made them when we needed them.”
Both offenses struggled early at Centaurus High School, with missed shots and turnovers dic-tating the pace of the game.
But the third-seeded Bulldogs (18-6) used fast-break points to jump out to a 13-6 lead heading into the second quarter.
Head coach Matt Ray said he knew his team would have to break through Thompson Valley’s press in order to get points.
“We played just like I had hoped, and when they pressed us we broke through,” he said. “We took advantage of their press with some nice inside shots to get out to an early lead.”
Juniors Makayla Camilletti and Lisa Camilletti helped extend the Bulldogs’ lead in the second quarter, combining for three 3-pointers to give MCHS a 30-17 halftime lead.
However, Ray said the Bulldogs came out flat in the third quarter and the sixth-seeded Eagles (16-9) took advantage.
The Bulldogs were called for numerous traveling violations as Thompson Valley pulled with five in the third quarter and trailed by eight, 41-33, heading into the fourth.
“Before the fourth, I basically said told the girls that teams have runs,” Ray said. “But we had to come out in the fourth and have our own run and we did, forcing them to foul and we made our free throws.
“We played poised and our effort was definitely there.”
Moffat County opened the fourth with a 12-1 run, fueled by
the 10 free throws.“Our free throws absolutely
crushed (Thompson Valley), and you could see it on their faces,” Ray said. “They had to
foul us, but when we made our free throws, they had no answer and no where else to go to stay in the game.”
Melissa led the Bulldogs with
17 points, Lisa had 14 and senior Annie Sadvar added 13.

Miles Englehart, Rex Stanley and Daniel Wille have brought a state basketball title back to Baggs, Wyo., but never a region-al championship.
After two blowout wins Thursday and Friday, the Little Snake River Valley (Wyo.) School seniors will have a chance to complete their goal today in the 1A West Regional Tournament finals.
The Rattlers (24-0) beat St. Stephens, 85-58, Thursday in the quarterfinals in Lander, Wyo., and pulled away Friday against Ten Sleep to score a 79-51 victory and a spot in the finals.
LSRV will match-up against Burlington at 1 p.m. today in the championship game in Lander.
“Burlington has a lot of good athletes like us and this will be as good a game we will have played all year,” head coach Paul Prestrud said. “The seniors have never won a regional champi-onship, so it would be another feather in their cap. It wouldn’t ruin our season to lose, but it is a goal we want to achieve.”
Prestrud said the Rattlers, who are the No. 1 seed from the southwest region, started out slow against Ten Sleep, with the two teams trading baskets early.
But after switching to a man-to-man defense, the Rattlers
