To the Town Board, who is running Oak Creek? No one board member greater than the other. You have right to hire and you have the right to fire! You can vote to oust the Police Chief.
Part of your responsibility to your residents is “To regulate the police of the municipality and pass and enforce all necessary police ordinances”.
On John F. Russell: Filling the shoes of Mark Klapperich

Marks' shoes are very tough to fill and he will be dearly missed. I had known Mark for a long time; he had a certain flair that will not be duplicated. To me the scary part in filling those shoes will be the comparisons between Marks' style and the new announcers’ style.

BaseballfromKS–I will take your class of tourist every time! I loved it Monday night, when all the kids came out and the teams walked around the rodeo grounds. The best part is the camaraderie that took place afterward, when the kids exchanged their team pins. Everyone I have met this week is friendly and inquisitive about the area, since I live here. Triple Crown tourists are far nicer than the type we get here ski season, heck in hunting season the tourists are nicer!
I have friends in from out of town and they are NOT staying with me, even though they know they can. They are staying in town at a condo, to be with the team and are spending their hard earned cash in town. They are doing all of the touristy things around the area this week each day after the game. After their games tomorrow, I’m loading up the toys and taking them to California Park. They also come here in the winter to ski and play, but stay with my family to be with us and not do the après ski thing at the local establishments.
Steamboat Springs is known as a family oriented town during ski season. Why are some so intolerant to the families that visit in the summer? What a double standard some have!

Taxpayer Dollars that is used very loosely, like Steamboat Springs residents are the only ones who pay them! I say let the taxpayers pay for the fields! The majority of the city’s budget is from sales taxes and the majority of those dollars are from visitors that spend in the valley. Steamboat Springs and Hayden enjoy healthy budgets because of the tourist industry. If they go away WE pay more for fewer services, with fewer citizens and less jobs.

Triple Crown has asked the city to improve the existing facilities and add more fields, because other cities are willing to build facilities and host the events. These are not threats just the real world.
Steamboat Springs is a World Class Resort City doesn’t have World Class facilities to host the TC World Championship Series. Some want to stay World Class for the ski season and then become like any other non resort town in the USA for the summer. Why wouldn’t we want to have World Class Ball Fields to complement the area in the summer?
The families that come here for the series are also like the families that come here in the winter. The cost for parents that have children playing on Triple Crown tournament teams is NOT cheap, as some would think and make you believe. There is paying to be on the team, entry fees, travel to tournaments, food and lodging. Just like skiing families who buy equipment, travel here, pay for lift tickets, food and lodging. Caution: Some of you may be biting the hands that feed you!
Too all of you that think Triple Crown Sports do not bring the “right demographic tourist.” A few years ago, while playing golf at YVGC, a private jet landed with a Triple Crown Team that was playing in Craig. I guess if it was full of skiers and landed in Hayden that would be OK by you!
I would rather have children playing baseball, trading team pins and making new friends for three weeks, that are playing the national pastime, than drunk college students all of January. I was a college student a many years ago and I was skiing as cheaply as possible, to have more cash for partying.

To the Triple Crown Teams that read this blog, DON'T believe the mindless drivel that is written against Triple Crown Sports tournaments. For a community that welcomes families during ski season, these bloggers turn against families in the summer that may come back to our valley in the winter. What a bunch of hypocrites!
Also it is your sales tax dollars that help to keep Steamboat Springs’ home owners from paying city property taxes and also a percentage of the sales tax supports the school district.

Some members of council just want a marionette (puppet), so they can control the strings. The new touchy-feelie board are giving in to special interest groups.

Does the Internet Edition of the Today need to headline this article a second day? My first thought was they didn't get todays edition out, but wait the other articles are new. This MUST be really important stuff to them.
