Steamboat can’t keep up with Valor team at state
The realities of high school football can be cruel. As storied a run as it was, as much as it seemed like destiny and as much as fate seemed to be looking down on Legacy Stadium, Saturday’s Class 3A state championship game just wasn’t meant to be for the Steamboat Springs High School football team.

John F. Russell: Jumpers keeping sport alive
Alan Johnson may be a little too old to strap on a pair of jumping skis and go head to head with international stars like Adam Malysz or Simon Ammann. But he’s not about to let that keep him from trying to make sure our country is represented at the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver, British Columbia, and beyond.

Joel Reichenberger: My icy badge of honor
There’s plenty I’ve grown to love about Steamboat Springs. Absolutely one of my favorite aspects, though, is what makes it such an impossible place to live for so many other people. It’s been a miserably cold week. I hate that. Everyone seems to, in a way.

Best of the Web: School meals director
■ We are so fortunate to have Max as our nutritional director. The quality and taste of the food has risen dramatically since he came to Steamboat. My kids never used to eat school lunch, and in the last couple of years that has completely changed to where they almost always eat school lunch. They notice that Max uses real meat, not chopped, formed meat with artificial grill marks. They love the salad/deli bars that have fresh fruit and veggies, and they love the flavor of the food. Last year, I made it a point to go to Strawberry Park Elementary and eat lunch there a few times just to see for myself, and I was as impressed as my children were with the taste and quality of the food.
Lynn Abbott: Thanks, Bennet
Did you get a call from Sen. John McCain last Wednesday? I did, as did many Coloradans “of a certain age.” He warned me that the Senate health care bill would “cut $500 billion dollars in vital Medicare coverage for our seniors.” He said I should lobby our Sen. Michael Bennet to co-sponsor (McCain’s) amendment to send the bill back to the Senate finance committee. His purpose, of course, was to dramatically delay progress on the bill.
