THE UPDATE

There was lots of free music, plenty of brewskis, lots of fun and tons of sun this Labor Day weekend.

OK, maybe the weather clouded up a little bit in the afternoons, but it was still the perfect end-of-summer temper-ature for enjoying the festivities around the valley, from Oktoberfest in Beaver Creek to Gourmet on Gore in Vail Vil-lage.

New this year was the IronKids race

in Avon, which saw 259 kids running, biking and swimming on Sunday, do-ing age-appropriate race amounts (see complete results on pages 12-13.) The number of entrants beat organizers’ ex-pectations and closed roads temporarily in the morning in town.

Local kids took three of the top five spots among 6- to 8-year-olds and placed high in the older age groups as well.

In Vail, just under 10,000 ducks roared down Gore Creek in the Rotary Rubber Duck Race on Sunday, accord-ing to Leanna Roberts. John Holms won

the top $1,000 cash prize.If you want a lucky duck for next

year’s race, you might consider buy-ing it from the Battle Mountain High School volleyball team. At least seven of the winning ducks were sold by team members, Roberts said.

“And it wasn’t me that won, doggone it,” Roberts said. “It takes a lot of effort on everybody’s part to pull this off, and we’re really thankful for all the dona-tions we get.”

It’s a comforting thought that unlike Cold War-era Russia, when radio pirates in the United States covertly gaffle a high-frequency signal, they use it to broadcast a commercial-free hour of Frank Sinatra.

At around 10 a.m. this morning, President Obama will speak directly to the nation’s school children.

Your kids don’t have to watch it if you don’t want to, say school district officials.

The decision whether to pick up the live feed will be made on a school-by-school and classroom-by-class-room basis. If parents want their kids to opt out, there will be other things for the kids to do.

“If parents don’t want their kids to watch it, we’ll provide alternative activities,” said Brooke Skjonsby, the school district’s communications director.

The educational event apparently taught the president that the more one acts like a lightning rod, the more often one is hit by lightning. Some of the original fol-low up essay questions: “What do I think the president wants me to do?” and “How can I help the president?” have been reworked. They got the reaction you’d ex-pect, and were stricken from the president’s permanent record.

American conservative Newt Gingrich says people on both sides should take a breath and listen to the speech. Newt says, “It’s a good speech and will be good for students to hear.”

Marquez remembersDeb Marquez has been a local Democratic leader

since Eagle County’s entire blue movement consisted

of Deb, Darrel and Daryl.She spent Labor Day at labor, working in her out-

standing restaurant, Fiesta’s in Edwards.This isn’t her first go-round with political leaders in

schools.She went to high school in Los Angeles, and remem-

bers the time Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley visited her school. Bradley had just been elected the first Af-rican American mayor of a major city in the U.S., and Marquez was working hard to become the first in her family to graduate high school – which she did with honors. Now her adorable daughter wants to go to Har-vard.

“I don’t remember what he said, but I was at the en-trance when he came in and I remember that he was gracious and statesmanlike,” Marquez. “It was impor-tant to me as a high school student, very inspiring.”

We are reminded that Bush 41, former President George Herbert Walker Bush, did the same thing.

Obama’s speech is supposed to encourage kids to stay in school, study hard to strive for success.

“We have an epidemic in education when Hispanic and African American kids are dropping out at the rate of 30-50 percent,” Marquez said. “If the rate was that high for non-minority students, wouldn’t their parents do something about it?”

“You have no idea how important it can be for stu-dents to see someone who looks like them succeeding in life. It motivates them to say ‘I can be that person,’” Marquez said. “If the president’s address motivates just one kid to stay in school, then it’s time well spent.”

Obama goes to school todayPresident’s speech to kids scheduled for roughly 10 a.m.

Before marijuana is sold for its medicinal value, it should be tested and taxed, says a former university re-searcher who specializes in the subject.

Most cannabis plants can be grown almost anywhere, but very little is high enough quality to be called medi-cal marijuana, says Dr. Jim Nielsen, who conducted years of university research on marijuana.

It’s about quality control, and in Colorado “no one has any,” he said.

Nielsen, who now lives in Edwards, is considered one of the nation’s foremost experts on what can be called “medical” marijuana, and what’s just ditch weed. He spent most of his career as a researcher and professor with Western Illinois University. His doctoral degree is in physiology, pharmacology and toxicology.

Nielsen says methods of scientific quality control need to be in place before medical marijuana is foisted upon the general public. Right now, there’s no informa-tion, and no equipment to clinically test the marijuana to get the information.

“It should be sold under strict government regula-tions, the same way tobacco is, and then taxed,” he said.

Most cannabis plants have three active chemicals, and the one that provides that oh-so-mellow feeling is tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. Three cannibinoids ex-ist. Ditch weed has two. The good stuff has all three, including THC, Nielsen said.

Of the tons of marijuana he tested during his career, 58 percent was ditch weed with no THC in it.

Of the more than 35 strains of marijuana, only one, cannabis sativa, can be called medical marijuana.

“Only one was authentic,” said Nielsen. “All the rest were bogus.”

A botanist can spot it because there’s an extra spike on the leaf or the stem. If you’re not a botanist, you cannot tell, Nielsen said.

People selling so-called “medical” marijuana cannot generally claim that level of expertise and training, he said.

“There’s not a chemist, a horticulturist or a botanist in the bunch,” Nielsen said.

And no one knows how much THC it takes for mari-juana to have any medical value, Nielsen said.

“There have been no double blind experiments,” Nielsen said. “People selling it as medical marijuana may be selling a good analgesic or a good placebo.”

Marijuana MythbusterHe was serious about his research and exploding

myths during his career, like the one that claimed if you soak your marijuana in water and bury it in a coffee can

in the back yard for six months, it’ll be much better. It wasn’t, Nielsen found, but the people who went to all that trouble thought it was.

“A psychologist working with us explained that if you wait six months for anything, you’ll think it’s bet-ter,” Nielsen said.

And how about the time in California, researchers gathered 12 willing subject and handed them marijua-na. All 12 stated that they became, in fact, high. But they were, in fact, smoking ditch weed with no THC in it.

“There’s not much hard science behind this,” Nielsen said.

In the 1980s the federal government sprayed chemi-cal poisons on marijuana plants all over Mexico – the kind of chemical poisons that make you go blind. The Mexicans quickly harvested all they could, dried and processed it and shipped it to the U.S., Nielsen said.

“I had college professors quietly asking me to test their own private stashes, to determine if it was safe,” Nielsen said.

Growers can bring seeds in from Colombia, but those have to be nurtured at exactly the right temperature, with exactly the right amounts of light and water. In other words, the sort of growing operation that remains a felony in most states, including this one.

“Anything north of the border was planted to pro-duce hemp, or rope,” Nielsen said.

Commissioners to pow-wow on pot shops today

The county commissioners today will consider temporary regulations to deal with the medical marijuana stores that seem to be popping up like the plant life that they’ll sell. The public hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. in the Eagle County building, 500 Broadway in Eagle.

The regs would force dispensaries into com-mercial or industrial areas; keep them more than 200 feet from things like schools, church-es and child care centers; and ban them as home-based business.

Nine years ago, Colorado voters approved selling medical marijuana. In Eagle County, 56 percent of voters said medical marijuana was okey dokey with them.

Such stores have been banned in Gypsum, Avon and Vail. Because county governments are considered a branch of the state government, and the state government says medical mari-juana stores are legal, the county cannot ban them. The best they can hope for is to regulate them, the same way they do liquor stores.

September is a good time to plant many things as there is plenty of sun, and the soil is warm enough for new plantings to put down some new root growth. I’ve planted many things into November, but right now it is ideal.

Shrubs make good landscape fill, and they address the need for plants larger than many perennials. Flow-ering is a plus, but there are some nice features to some shrubs that don’t feature blossom color as their primary or only feature. Potentilla fruticosa hybrids have had the best summer for flowering, and are still showing color. Two recent column items included blue rabbitbrush, and our common sagebrush, Artemesia tridentata. Their foliage color is a good background for reds and blues in the larger landscape.

Dwarf Amur Maple has a good enough green leaf color to stand on its own, and the red stems and cute maple wings are interest-ing right up until its foliage turns orange and red in the fall. If you don’t have room for the full size tree, utilize A. ginnala ‘Compacta’.

Sandcherries give us a few nice choices, as well as some good-tasting fruit. Prunus triloba and Prunus tomentosa both provide typical spring cherry blossoms, along with the great fragrance of the genus.

P. triloba’s common name is Flowering Al-mond (it’s not the only prunus to be called this) and flowers pink in the spring. Its tough relative, P. tomentosa has white spring blossoms. Both are smaller, and almost look like miniature trees. They take to shaping, but certainly don’t need it. P. tomen-tosa is most commonly known as Nanking Cherry.

Many sandcherries have good fruit, and some are very colorful. There is a good specimen at the west entrance to US Bank in Avon, so next summer go check it out, and have a taste.

Purpleleaf sandcherries are an easy grow here, but the best advice is to mix colors carefully. The wine-colored stems and branches clash with some colors. They grow taller than the other two sandcherries , and are easy to prune at junctions. They aren’t dense at all, and take on new shape handily.

Dwarf conifers and evergreen shrubs also have a function. Dwarf spruces and pines are readily avail-able, although pricey. In this area, spruces make sense

due to our soils. Some of the dwarf pines prefer acidic soils, and while there are some very interesting pine offerings, to use them requires amending the soil with acidic amendment or acid-loving fertilizer for them to thrive instead of dive.

There are some very nice dwarf spruce selections. The mini-trees with spruce-like pyramidal shape in-clude ‘Montgomery’, and ‘Globe’. Although ‘Globe’ starts out more round, it usually tends to sharpen up at the top for a leader.

Some, like ‘Mesa Verde’, are lower-growing vari-eties that spread out over three feet in flattened fash-

ion.Dwarf spruces, like most dwarf conifers,

are not cheap. They grow slowly, and take a lot more time to reach saleable size.

It is worth a trip to Iseli Nursery’s Web site. These Oregon pioneers in dwarf trees and shrubs have the definitive collection, and are responsible for introducing many popular named varieties. Right about now is when you would want to talk to a local nursery about specific varieties for next season. Retail nurseries place their orders for dwarves in the fall, and you might want something that the nursery wouldn’t otherwise order.

Our native Common juniper is the best of its breed. Basically, named varieties abound on the market, but proliferate in shapes that

do no justice to Juniperus communis, the species. It is scattered throughout sections of open woodland and sagebrush-serviceberry/aspen foothills - sagebrush & serviceberry on the sunny side, aspens in the more protected places.

It is the evergreen with arching, almost fountain-like branches, and can range from two feet to around four feet in height, and eventually wider in spread. Although it is one of the more finicky junipers, atten-tion to the right soil and water is about all it needs. A healthy species Common juniper is worth any effort.

Junipers in general give us some useful small trees and shrubs. Some types seem bulletproof, but there are other varieties that will show signs of stress if conditions aren’t right. Junipers aren’t overly picky, some just have some basic requirements.

There’s plenty of time for planting questions, too. E-mail: [email protected]

If you’re a homeowner in the Vail Valley looking to supplement your income — renting out your home on holidays is often a quick way to make extra cash.

In some Avon neighborhoods, it’s illegal to rent out your home short-term, however.

The town’s elected officials today are slated to dis-cuss a plan to allow short-term rentals of less than a month downtown. Short-term rentals in neighborhoods like Wildridge will remain unlawful, according to a town statement.

Realtors who sell homes in Avon see pluses and mi-nuses to creating a new short-term rental law.

“It’s a difficult thing. I don’t know if the people of Wildridge maybe know what’s happening, because if (you) want to go away for Christmas and exchange your house with somebody in a warm climate …” said Bob Finlay, an area Realtor. “I can see an idea why they want some regulations on it, though, just so it doesn’t cause problems for the residents.”

The town’s planning and zoning commission already recommended approval of the new law.

“There are definitely some owners up (in Wildridge) that like their peace and quiet and don’t want it up there,” said Mark Weinreich, a Prudential Realtor. “It’s not the most ideal situation for short-term renters up there anyhow.”

Bus service to Beaver Creek makes short-term rent-als downtown a good idea, however, said Gil Fancher, a Realtor at Sonnenalp Real Estate in Vail. And folks who rent a house during their vacation often come back to buy, he said.

“We get this a lot in real estate. We live in a resort community, so to offset expenses, people can rent out their places,” Fancher said.

If residents rent out their homes, short-term, the need to pay both sales and accommodations taxes, according to the town.

In Vail, officials have estimated the number of short-term rental owners not paying taxes could run into the thousands.

Residents are encourage to attend the town meeting on today or submit e-mail comments to town commu-nity relations person Becky Lawlor at [email protected].

leader some 2,000 miles away: President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela.

Over the past four years, Citizens Energy Corp., the signature nonprofit founded by Kennedy in 1979 as a political launching pad, has grown from a local charity serving 10,000 Massachusetts homes a year into a na-tional effort delivering free fuel to 200,000 households in 23 states, writes The Globe’s Michael Rezendes and Noah Bierman. And Kennedy, a former US representa-tive, has relied almost exclusively on Chávez, a vocif-erous critic of the US government, for that growth.

Since 2005, Citizens’ 877-JOE-4-OIL campaign has been sustained by the oil fields of Venezuela. Chávez, who controls the industry there, has delivered crude oil at no charge to a Citizens affiliate, which has resold it and used the money to pay for oil deliveries to Ameri-ca’s poor, according to The Globe’s report. In the past two years, Citizens has been given 83 million gallons of crude by Chávez and sold it for $164 million - money used to fund almost its entire philanthropic mission.

“If Joe were to become a candidate, he would have to answer some very uncomfortable questions about his personal and business relationships with Hugo Chávez,’’ Eric Fehrnstrom, a Republican political con-sultant, was quoted saying.

Hollywood loves guy who runs Citgo

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez received a mov-ie star welcome Monday at the Venice Film Festival, where he walked the red carpet with director Oliver Stone for the premiere of the documentary “South of the Border.”

Hundreds of admirers, some chanting “president, president,” gathered outside of the Casino for the lead-er’s arrival. A few held up Venezuelan flags and a ban-ner in Spanish that read “Welcome, president.”

Chavez threw a flower into the crowd and touched his heart, and at one point took a photographer’s cam-era to snap a picture himself.

“He’s a guy you should meet and get to know. ... He’s the star of the movie,” Stone said in an interview before the premiere.

Stone said he didn’t see it necessary to present the

opposition’s case in his film.“A dark side? There’s a dark side to everything. Why

do you seek out the dark side when the guy is doing good things?” Stone asked. “He is a democrat and there is opposition to him, and he’s not perfect. But he is do-ing tremendous things for Venezuela and the region.”

Caracas is not HollywoodTens of thousands marched through Venezuela’s

capital on Saturday to protest what they call growing authoritarianism by President Hugo Chávez.

A few thousand of the president’s backers held a sep-arate counter-rally to express support for the govern-ment’s policies.

Anti-Chávez protesters, many of them wearing white, filled the streets of Caracas, denouncing recent arrests of opposition members for alleged violence during pro-tests and a new education law that critics fear could lead to indoctrination in schools.

“It’s very concerning because education is Ven-ezuela’s future,” said 23-year-old engineering student Carlos Delgado, who also complained of soaring infla-tion and rampant crime after more than a decade under Chávez.

“We have 11 years with the same faces, the same problems, and the truth is that we don’t see any solu-tions,” Delgado said.

Capitalism is the new evil in Moore’s book

Book on sale at Amazon for $19.46Capitalism is evil. That is the conclusion U.S. docu-

Late night will be earlier September 14

So it’s come to this: the immediate future of Ameri-can prime-time television rests squarely on Jay Leno’s perpetually shrugged shoulders, according to TheStar.com.

It says so in Time magazine, so it must be true, writes the website’s Rob Salem. To quote, as Time and Salem both do, former NBC president Fred Silverman: “If the Leno show works, it will be the most significant thing to happen in broadcast television in the last decade.”

That’s significant, though not necessarily good, writes Salem. The former Tonight Show host has been handed an inordinately large chunk of prime-time real estate for The Jay Leno Show – weeknights at 10 on NBC and Citytv, beginning Sept.14 – to do with what he will, which would appear to be much the same thing he used to do at 11:35, according to the report.

“We’ll come out, boom, start with the jokes, get the show moving.... We want to keep it fast-paced. I think that’s the real key,” Leno was quoted saying. “You don’t want to waste anybody’s time, you know. This is good food at sensible prices. Here’s a bunch of jokes. A lot of jokes.”

World’s largest chili theft thwarted

A giant chili pepper on the roof of a Chili’s restaurant in southern Vermont was a hot property—police say four people have been caught trying to steal it.

Bennington police say the group ran 470 feet of extension cord across a four-lane road and through a Home Depot parking lot to power an electric drill used

to detach the logo sign early Sunday.Sgt. Camillo Grande says they also brought a hack-

saw to remove the pepper sign, valued at $8,000.An alarm went off at about 4:30 a.m., thwarting their

plans to make their getaway in an SUV.The four—two college students, a recent graduate

and one who is “between work and school”—were cited for grand larceny.

Choking back the Tequila?San Diego Chargers star outside linebacker Shawne

Merriman said he did not harm reality TV star Tila Te-quila at his home early Sunday and added he was con-cerned for her safety because she appeared to be intoxicated.

Merriman was arrested and ac-cused of choking and throwing Tequila to the ground as she tried to leave his home in suburban Poway. Tequila signed a citizen’s arrest warrant charging Merriman with battery and false imprison-ment. Both are felonies.

Merriman practiced Monday, then said he’s convinced he’ll be cleared. It will ultimately be up to the District Attorney’s office to decide if he’ll be charged.

“I think when it all surfaces, it will be a different situation. Pe-riod,” said Merriman, who described Tequila as an ac-quaintance.

“At the time, I was concerned about her welfare giv-en the intoxicated state she appeared to be in and I en-couraged her to stay until safe transportation could be provided,” Merriman said in the statement. “We would all do our best to help a friend if we considered their actions to be detrimental to their personal safety.

“I in no way caused any harm to Ms. Nguyen, how-ever, paramedics were called and she was examined but no injuries were reported,” the statement continued.

Asked if he threw Tequila to the ground, the 6-foot-4, 265-pound Merriman said: “No. I can’t talk about any of that stuff.”

American Melanie Oudin knocked off No. 13-seed Nadia Petrova in extend her remarkable run of upsets into the quarterfi-nals.

After getting a thumping in the first set, Oudin rallied the next two sets to win with a final score of 1-6, 7-6 (2), 6-3.

Oudin staved off two points that would have put her behind 5-3 in the second set, then rolled through the third, hitting corners with those underrated ground-strokes and taking advantage of 22 unforced errors by her more-seasoned, higher-ranked oppo-nent.

Rankings, like her age, howev-er, are only numbers.

The 70th-ranked player al-ready had wins over No. 4 Elena Dementieva and No. 29 Maria Sharapova at Flushing Meadows, along with one over former No. 1 Jelena Jankovic this summer at Wimbledon. Now, she’s knocked off No. 13.

“I think this is going to do a lot,” Oudin said. “I think it’s good for American tennis.”

Too young to know any bet-ter? Maybe. Regardless, she has become the youngest American to move into the quarterfinals at America’s Grand Slam since Ser-ena Williams in 1999.

17-year-old Melanie Oudin has done it again

Stricker wins Deutsche BankWith two events left and $10 million up for grabs

in the FedEx Cup, Steve Stricker delivered two clutch birdies on 17 and 18 to cap off an exciting Labor Day finish and win the Deutsche Bank Championship on Monday. This win gave Stricker enough points to pass Tiger Woods to the top of the FedEx Cup standings.

One week after missing a 10-foot par putt to force overtime, Stricker rolled in a 15-foot birdie on the 17th hole, then hit a delicate chip to tap-in range on the par-5 18th for a 4-under 67 one-shot victory over Jason Duf-ner and Scott Verplank.

The victory moved Stricker to a career-high No. 2 in the world ranking.

Better yet, he has a 909-point lead over Woods in the FedEx Cup with two tournaments remaining. Because

the points will be reset after next week in Chicago, Stricker is assured of being no worse than the No. 2 seed and will have a chance at the Tour Championship to go after the $10 million prize.

“It’s been a blast, and I want to keep riding it out,” Stricker said as he tried again to fight back tears.

This victory at the second of four PGA Tour play-off events makes Stricker the only player besides Tiger Woods to have three victories this season. He won a playoff at Colonial and he won by three shots at the John Deere Classic.

The Deutsche Bank Championship is the biggest win of Stricker’s career. He finished at at 17-under 267 and won $1.35 million, pushing him over $6 million for the year.

Cavendish wins first stage of Tour

of Missouri

Sprint specialist Mark Cavendish took down the first stage of the Tour of Mis-souri Monday.

Cavendish’s Columbia-HTC team is a top contender for the team title in the week-long race that concludes on Sunday in Kansas City. Columbia con-trolled the pace in the peloton most of the opening stage, a 75-mile circuit race that concluded downtown in the shadow of the Gateway Arch.

The 24-year-old Cavendish won three stages in last year’s Tour of Missouri. The second stage of the week-long event is a 112-road race from Ste. Genevieve to Cape Girardeau.

“TWIST MY ARM, TAKE MY PHOTO” exclaimed Chef Conor of Rick and Kelllys in Riverwalk. He is one of many reasons you should have a meal and/or beverage there. Excitement awaits all who enter, and when you leave — if you leave — you will be satisfied.

WISHES TOY STORE IN AVON is making room for the next wave of toys to arrive at the shop, and they are having a huge sale right now. You can save up to 70 percent on select clothing and other fun stuff for the young ones.


is that the station was in fact broad-casting illegally, and the FCC likely had a hand in its demise.

The story is probably a less-dramatic version of what Edwards resident and Pirate radio fan Bryan Coffey wrote in to the Mountaineer, that “the FCC finally caught up with the Pirates, and now they probably reside at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.”

But in classic Bugsy Siegel fash-ion, some illegal radio stations have been able to become mainstream and “legalized.” Radio free Minturn got its start the same way, and has since been able to take their opera-tion out of the shadows.

Pirate Radio fans in the Vail Val-ley responded in numbers to the Mountaineer’s recent solicitations of their thoughts regarding the sta-tion -- verifying its popularity -- and some pointed out that during

the station’s heyday, other stations altered their programming to better compete. The resounding question in the whole Pirate Radio discus-sion seems to go always go back to “what was it about Pirate Radio that created such demand?” And “how can other stations create the same results legally?”

Russ Coburn said he abandoned satellite radio, which also had no commercials but charged users a monthly fee -- as a result of the Pi-rate.

But was the attraction solely a re-sult of no commercials?

Karen Poage of Edwards says programming also played a definite role in the Pirate’s strong follow-ing. She asked why stations seem to cater to the younger listener when the people spending money with their advertisers listen to different

music.“Radio station owners need to

take a hint!” She wrote. “Could just one of you change your format and bring the KOOL sound back to our Vail airwaves?”

As the Mountaineer continues to search the high seas for into on Pi-rate Radio, it occurs to us that the pirate may be reading this right now. So Mr. Pirate, if you’re out there, please grant us an interview; we promise to preserve your ano-nymity. Contact [email protected] and let’s do this.

Readers who listened to Pirate Radio but haven’t written in yet are encouraged to jot down your thoughts and send them, along with your name and town, to [email protected].

federally subsidized low income housing project.The $1 million is on its way, and comes on the heels

of $4 million in tax credits that the feds made avail-able for Riverview. Those tax credits, though, have to be sold to people or businesses who’d rather buy tax credits than pay federal taxes. For the past year almost no one has been buying them.

Still, the $1 million will get the county started on re-siding and insulating Riverview. The work should be done by this time next year, said Eagle County Housing Director Alex Potente.

A local architect firm was hired to handle the proj-ect. Interaction Architects partners Matt Lee and Seth Bousson will ride herd on it. They’re both formerly with Morter Architects. The job attracted bids from 37 firms submitted bids, Potente said. Because rents are controlled at Riverview, low income tenants only pay 30 percent of their stated income in rent.

The federal government subsidizes the difference between that 30 percent and the market rate for each apartment.

It’s a popular place. Riverview has a waiting list of 20 people who want to get in, Potente said.

If Riverview was a rock star, it would be Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards’ older brother.

The cedar shake shingles have been on the buildings since the 1970s and need constant repair. The high-en-ergy doors and windows installed a few years back are fine, but insulation in the walls and ceilings is theoreti-cal. The roofs are new.

The vision is to improve energy efficiency with insu-lation and possible solar panels on the roofs, do some

landscaping to increase and improve common areas, and create some play areas for the kids.

Low income in Eagle County is $64,000 for a four-person household, according to the county’s area me-dian income statistics with Housing and Urban Devel-opment, the federal agency that handles Riverview.

In Eagle County, the area median income for a four-person household is $86,600, according to those HUD statistics.

For a little perspective, $20 an hour is $40,000 a year.

Up to nine people can live in a three-bedroom apart-ment, according to Debra Pompey with the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority.

Families also get a break on their rent of $480 per child, said Pompey.

Seniors get subsidies for their medical expenses. Families in which all adults work get deductions for childcare expenses.

While there are no upper income limits to qualify to live in Riverview, rents are calculated on a sliding scale - the higher your income the higher the percentage you are required to pay, said Pompey.

Income increases cannot get you kicked out of Riv-erview, said Pompey.

“If you qualify when you move in, you can’t get kicked out unless you violate the lease,” said Pompey. “If you’re making enough money that you’re not eli-gible for a subsidy, you have to pay the full amount of your rent.”

That’s $1,252 for a two-bedroom apartment, and $1,491 for a three bedroom.
