Snowy day a challenge for 719 Boulder finishers

Former Dartmouth College All-American cross-country skier Silas Talbot, 24, of Bozeman, Mt. was first across the line in 1.33:42, one second ahead of Brian Gregg, 32, of Minneapolis, Minn. (1.33:43) in a two-man sprint to the line.      Talbot is a 2015 Dartmouth engineering graduate originally from Anchorage, Ak. and Gregg, from Winthrop, Wash. was a University of Alaska All-American before becoming a 2014 U.S. Olympian. Talbot’s top time was 16:29 slower than Nick Hendrickson’s 2016 win.      Allison said, “The racers were so whipped. The top guys were just tapped, so different from last year. Same with the Elite Women, who started their race in the snow.      “But you know what meant the most to me? The last woman coming to the finish (Gloria Ploss, 71, of Bend, Ore. in 4.51:52). We were just rolling up the finish when she came in, followed by Sean Petersen, who for years has cleared the course and skied in with the final Boulder Tour finisher.      “The look on her face was incredible. She felt so proud of herself. It brought a tear to my eye and reminded me what this race is all about.      “It was awesome. We did a lot of improvising with the wet conditions, but I’m just happy we pulled it off.”      Repeating as Boulder women’s winner in 1.40:19, 16:24 slower than last year, was Caitlin Gregg, 36, a 2010 Olympian from Minnesota. Just one year ago, after winning the Boulder, Gregg captured the World Championship bronze medal in 10k freestyle in Sweden.      Nate Struebel of Driggs, Idaho and the Teton Valley Ski Foundation won the Half Boulder in 47:39, and Dartmouth College senior Natalie Flowers of Belgrade, Mt. was the top Half Boulder woman, 52:04.      Ketchum’s Charley French, 90, won his age class and placed 115th overall in the Half Boulder, the 43rd man, in 1.29:55.      Local women on the Full Boulder age-class podium were June Lane, Carol Monteverde, Linda McClatchy, Kim Nalen, Elizabeth Youngman, Deb Cornwell, Muffy Ritz, Liv Jensen, Laura Theis, Mary Rose, Alexa Turzian, Deedra Irwin and Annie Pokorny.      Full Boulder male podium placers from the valley were Del Pletcher, Patrick Simpson, Jon Engen, Bill Nurge, John Reuter, Rogan Brown, Cole Morgan, Sebastian Radl-Jones, Fisher Gardner and Mathias Radl-Jones.      Prize money for the 2017 Boulder Tour was $9,150 with $2,500 going to the male and female winners. Second place finishers earned $1,000 and third placers $500. There was $400 in preem money, plus $750 for male and female winners of five separate waves.      You have to go back to February 1985 to find slower Boulder Tour finishing times, again, because of heavy snow.      That year, the Wood River Valley had near-drought conditions for the month of January and most of December before 20 inches of snow dumped between Thursday and Friday, before the scheduled running of the Boulder Ski Tour.      Moisture content of that 24-hour storm was two-and-a-half inches,...

May flowers bring Bremerton showers of color

High School volunteered to help grow seedlings for the city, that the program went in-house. Soon, a greenhouse was built near Gorst. When Cary Bozeman became mayor, the program moved to city greenhouses near Stevenson Canyon. One is used for growing them from birth and the other, larger greenhouse for when they mature. At times, they've had some extras. In 2012, they sold off the surplus to raise money for Amina Kocer-Bowman, the third-grader at Armin Jahr Elementary wounded by a gunshot in her classroom. Cressman said creating and maintaining the hanging baskets ? which can be found on Pacific, Callow and Washington avenues, along the downtown waterfront and at Gold Mountain Golf Course ? are a team effort. But Ibarra possesses the special skill set needed to drive the program. Cressman is in awe of Ibarra's patience in ensuring each basket looks perfect. "There's not a lot of people that would be able to pull each weed and put in the work necessary," Cressman said. "Billy just does it ? you don't even need to tell him to." The baskets, which come out before the Armed Forces Day Parade, will remain hanging past the Blackberry Festival over Labor Day weekend.
