Utu wins 9 News award
It wasn't surprising that Pio Utu was oblivious to the hundreds of people walking into Kelly Meek Gymnasium at Steamboat Springs High School on Tuesday. It also wasn't surprising Utu had no idea he'd won the 9Who Care Award for December from 9 News. No, Utu was busy doing the same thing he's been doing the past 25 years. While everyone was filing into the gymnasium to honor him, Utu helped a group of 15 student-athletes train.

A textbook budget didn't make the cut this year. Neither did science labs or extra time for teacher planning.

Omar M. Campbell: Put annexation to vote
The "Local ballot looms in '09" article in the Nov. 9 Steamboat Pilot & Today identifies only two potential upcoming ballot issues - a property tax to fund affordable housing, and one for downtown development. The current recession and the hits we taxpayers recently have taken for approving the elaborate Bud Werner Memorial Library expansion, the new Soda Creek Elementary School, the cemetery, museum and open-space support, will surely dampen voting for a social engineering issue like affordable housing. Prediction: Like the recreation center ballot question, it will be defeated by at least a 2-to-1 margin.
