Robert G. De Vries: Nothing has changed
I came to Steamboat Springs in 1968 to serve the court as a juvenile probation officer. At that time, the population was about 3,000. There were 250 to 300 teenagers in the high school; about 95 percent of them lived at home with their natural parents. The police department had three officers, and the sheriff's department had five. There were two or three liquor stores and two 3.2 bars where 18-year-olds could legally drink beer. Guess what? Our biggest problem was underage drinking. In 37 years, nothing has changed but the numbers.
Eliese Pivarnik: Use schools
I recently attended the community forum on underage drinking. A lot of talk was about a teen center and how having one would be an asset to this community. Steamboat already has teen centers: We have the schools. The middle school and high school are both underutilized. There could be a lot more school-sponsored activities that give our children something to do in a non-threatening environment.
