Brian is a man of few words but incredible talent and dedication to his profession. Steamboat is lucky to have him...as well as Matt, Mike and "Mikie." Congratulations to all of these fine men. Terry Lyons
To tcb: The reason that the Denver SO does not have a patrol division is because it is the "City and County of Denver" which means all of the patrolling is done by the City PD. Routt County obviously extends beyond any existing city limits and thus, a patrol division for the Sheriff's Office is mandatory.
I fondly remember John taking - and passing - a CPR class that I taught for the Howelson Hill ski patrollers. He was about 89 at the time, and rest assured if you needed CPR, John would have been able to help you out!
Some who comment anomymously do so for fear of repercussion from employers, friends or neighbors. I think if Comments are allowed, anonymity should be an option. HOWEVER, the threads do seem to deteriorate quickly away from the topic or issue and become ridiculous rants. I will not miss those bloggers who resort to personal attacks as they will not conform with the new registration policy. It is the website of the Steamboat Pilot and those who want to rant and personally attack can register their own site and blog to their hearts content. The rest of us will be able to post comments that are meaningful and maybe even important.
No single user group should dictate the use of any public land...that said, each user group should respect the other users. The backcountry skiers and snowmobilers had to work it out, so should the fishermen and tubers. The tube-hatch is relatively brief and the section of river they use is relatively short. The existing laws should absolutely be enforced but I don't think that more restrictions on the tubers are needed. The fishermen can seek out other world-class water just a mile or two up river for the month of July. The reality is that tourism pays the bills in Steamboat and the City and Chamber will continue to market every aspect of the Steamboat summer experience. Tubers, behave yourselves...Fishermen, learn to share the river.

Issues with Oak Creek Police Department return
Fire Chief AND police commisioner AND town board member? Seems like a lot of power for one guy in such a small town
