Salazar feeling out her success
Track star has eyes set on new mark
It's smooth, Hayden High School junior Holli Salazar explained. That's how she can tell the good throws from the bad throws. That's how she can tell which shot puts are going to drop her in the thick of the competition every week and which are going to soar far beyond everyone else's marks.
Campgrounds closed, openings delayed
The time to mourn the arrival of the mountain pine beetle has come and gone. The time to curse the toll it's taking on Colorado's lodgepole pine forests has come and gone. The time to bemoan the drastic changes to scenery across northern Colorado has come and gone.
Joel Reichenberger: Elk huntin' in my Ford
I didn't see my first elk Friday morning as I drove from Craig to cover a track meet in Rifle.
Fire station nears completion
Stagecoach emergency services growing with area's population
As Stagecoach continues to grow, so has its demand for emergency services.
Ken Brenner: Preserve resources
Western Colorado's greatest wealth is its land and water. If the current Bureau of Land Management proposal to turn oil shale into oil is adopted, the integrity of agriculture and wildlife habitat, of our public lands and water supply, will be threatened.

Peter Van De Carr: To the City Council
Thank you for all your work regarding the issues surrounding Emerald Park and the Triple Crown organization. Back in the early '90s I stood up in front of your predecessors and denounced Triple Crown stating that our town should promote our mountain sports for which we are famous, rather than team sports that seemed uncharacteristic given our lack of amenities (at the time).

Sandra B. Moore: Editorial off mark
Your commentary headline of April 16, "No need for 700 vote," reflected an elitist viewpoint indeed. Why not a vote on such an important issue as Steamboat 700 since it would affect every resident living here?

Tim Zink will be the first to tell you: If you moved to Colorado for a five-acre lawn, Three Springs is not for you.
Rick Akin: What have we learned?
Almost a year has passed since the first Conservative Commentary ran in the Pilot. One has appeared in this space virtually every week since then, and even two have run at a time on some occasions. These commentaries are the product of volunteer contributions, mostly by locals, with a few contributions from state leaders such as John Andrews, Mark Hillman and Bob Beauprez. Writing these commentaries and having the courage to put one's name on them is not a particularly easy thing. I take my hat off to all who have contributed for a job well done.
Our View: Preservation ordinance falls short
We don't envy the task assigned the Historic Structure Policy Review Committee: Recommend a new Steamboat Springs historic preservation ordinance that navigates the fine line between personal property rights and preservation of our city's historic buildings.
Kerry Hart: The transformational power of music
There has been increasing media attention about the power and influence of music - particularly in the lives of children. An April 13 broadcast of the CBS news show "60 Minutes" featured a story about how classical music is elevating children out of the psychological damage associated with growing up in extreme poverty in Venezuela. After 30 years of providing a program of training children in classical music, the positive influence of the program not only has proven to transform the lives of individuals, but now is starting to transform the entire country. And the Venezuela National Youth Orchestra is putting Venezuela on the map as a musical Mecca.

Community Agriculture Alliance
Someone asked me recently, since we had all these dead and dying trees around, why a board costs so much at the local lumberyard? There is no quick and simple answer to this question.
Jimmy Westlake: May meteors
Did you get to see Halley's Comet when it sailed past Earth in 1986? If not, you'll have to wait until 2062 for another chance to see it, because Halley's Comet requires 76 years to orbit the sun. In the meantime, you can watch tiny pieces of Halley's Comet rain down into the Earth's atmosphere every May and October during the annual Aquarid and Orionid meteor showers.
