Tom Ross: Your turn to be famous will come soon enough
All of us deserve our 15 minutes of fame, so it was nice to see this week that four local guys — Luke Brosterhous, Adam Spector, Jerad Iacovetto and Todd Lodwick — got their pictures published in Outside magazine.
Jimmy Westlake: A trio of triangles
Nestled between the constellations of Andromeda, Perseus and Pisces is a curious little trio of stellar triangles, visible on crisp November evenings. Each triangle has an interesting history all its own.
Joanne Palmer: Foot-long hot dogs and the Tippler
Don't expect to find anything healthy to eat at a college football game. No one is selling veggie burgers, smoothies or fruit salads. You can, however, expect to find foot-long hot dogs, brats and burgers glistening with grease.
Lynn Abbott: Obama's 1st year
On this first anniversary of the election of Barack Obama as president of the United States, let's take a look at the past 10 months. Although there are those who say the administration isn't moving fast enough, I submit that there is real progress on many fronts.
Tom Ross: Who knew Winter Carnival was sexy in 1928?
Who but the dynamic duo of Harriet Freiberger and Ken Proper could come up with a sexy cover photo for a serious history book about Steamboat Springs?
Deb Babcock: Protect trees from winter sunscald
Before the weather turns wintry, take steps to protect your trees from sunscald and other common problems that occur during our fierce winters.
Luke Graham: A team to believe in
The Steamboat Springs High School football team is dangerous. Offensively, there might not be a match in Class 3A, where they arguably have a trio of top-of-the-class players: the best quarterback in Austin Hinder, the best running back in Joe Dover and the best wide receiver in Jack Spady.
John F. Russell: Down to a moment
A few months from now, on the snow-covered slopes surrounding Vancouver, the world will watch as Olympic champions are determined in terms of meters and seconds. The journey to the games can be measured in years of hard work, measured in seemingly never-ending training sessions.
Joel Reichenberger: Welch is back on the bike
Realistically, Essam Welch had no choice but to "get back up on that horse." Welch and his bike are a fixture in Steamboat Springs, no matter the season. He doesn't even own a car, happily pedaling day in and day out from his home to his job at Orange Peel in downtown Steamboat.
Tom Ross: Maine's approach to Nordic skiing is on target
I wasn't raised in a hunting family and have almost no familiarity with firearms. So it came as a surprise one dreary day this month in Fort Kent, Maine, when I was handed an exotic-looking .22-caliber biathlon rifle and invited to see whether I could hit a small black disc of a target 50 meters away.
Joanne Palmer: The answer lady
When will I find a job? When will the recession be over? When will my house sell? Bee Herz has the answers. Herz is a psychic medium. Faced with conflicting and confusing news reports about the economy, the recession and the housing market, some people are getting their information from alternative sources.
Jimmy Westlake: Spooky star continues to be famous
Hollywood has created some scary monsters for us, but it has nothing on ancient Greece. Some of the monsters passed down to us through Greek mythology are as terrifying as anything ever conjured up by the human imagination.
Deb Babcock: When to prune shrubs
Ordinarily, a shrub shouldn't need pruning if you've selected the right-size plant for a particular site. But sometimes it's necessary to prune for the health of the plant, to control its size, promote new growth with better flowers, or correct damage caused by weather, disease, animals and other harmful agents.
Joel Reichenberger: It's all in the surprise
The best football game I ever attended was the 2003 Big 12 Championship. I had written a cocky column before the game professing confidence in the Cats, but realistically, neither I nor anyone else thought they had a snowball's chance in this October.
John F. Russell: Wild rides with new focus on World Cup
Snowboarder Vic Wild has been waiting for this winter, but for the Olympic hopeful it's about a lot more than gold, silver or bronze. It's about getting back on snow and racing.
