THE UPDATE

Vail Mountain will begin scheduled operations for the 2009-2010 winter season on Friday, November 20, 2009, at 9 a.m., weather permitting. That’s the weekend before Thanksgiving. Lifts are scheduled to run until 3:30 p.m. that day and for the first part of the season.

The resort will remain open daily through Sunday, April 18, 2010 with hours extending over the course of the season. Early- and late-season terrain offerings will be adjusted as weather and snow per-mit. Terrain, lifts, restaurants and other services will likely be limited during the first and last weeks of the season.

Happy 10th birthday to Blue SkyThe 2009-2010 winter ski and snow-

board season will mark the 10th an-niversary of Vail’s Blue Sky Basin, as well. The Skyline Express Lift (#37) and Earl’s Express Lift (#38) opened January 6, 2000, offering intermediate and expert skiers and riders a variety of moguls, glades, tree skiing, cliffs and ridges with a distinct backcountry feel. The mas-sive expansion has helped maintain Vail as the largest ski resort in the U.S. with 5,289 acres of freeride terrain.

Epic Pass still availableThe Epic Season Pass (www.epicpass.

com) is still available for the 2009-2010 winter season for $599 for adults and $299 for children, ages 5-12, for skiing and snowboarding at all five Vail Resorts – Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Heavenly – as well as at

Arapahoe Basin. Single-day and multi-day lift ticket pricing will be announced closer to opening day.

Mountaineer Staff Report

Some heartfelt thoughts hearty laughs

We don’t enjoy having to always watch what our com-petitor is up to, but every few months something so outra-geous happens we just can’t ignore it.

While it can’t compare to some of his company’s other unethical tactics (see partial list below), we found Vail Daily publisher Don Rogers’ recent comments about how his company’s “heart is true” to be quite laughable.

Perhaps that’s because it reminded us of legendary Los Angeles Times sportswriter Jim Murray’s description of baseball Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson’s strike zone being “smaller than Hitler’s heart.” We find that to be an apt description of the Vail Daily’s collective heart, as well. And here’s why …

No HEART foR CHARITIES: In October the Vail Daily beat up two local children’s charities just prior to their fundraisers, threatening to withhold any help if the charities worked with anyone except the Daily.

The same day the Vail Mountaineer ran a story ex-posing them, the Daily ran a banner headline and lead story proclaiming that the economy was making it tough for charities. The charities might not have such a tough

time if they had broader exposure.

GyPSUM DAzE HEART TRANSPLANT: Another curious quote from Mr. Rogers’ July 10 column is “Be accountable. Tell the truth.”

The town of Gypsum recently mailed out ads to the Vail Mountaineer and the Vail Daily for publication in the papers. The ad contained our logo, not theirs. So they took our logo off the ad and replaced it with theirs, putting the “low” in “logo.” This has all been confirmed by the town of Gypsum. There’s still been no “account-ability” from Mr. Rogers regarding the now-infamous logo swap, despite our numerous phone calls.

I HEART RENo: We thought they didn’t have a heart, but it turns out it’s locked in a vault in Reno.

The Vail Daily really, really wants your money so they can send a bunch of it to their overseers there, but they don’t want anyone to know about it. They selectively offered to drop their astronomical ad rates to match the Mountaineer’s ad rates, but you can only send your money to them, so they can forward a bunch of it to Nevada, which has no state income tax. The Vail Daily wanted local businesses to sign non-disclosure

agreements, which basically say that you promise not to tell anyone. So naturally, our phones rang to tell us about it.

CoRPoRATE STARBUCKS BAD foR THE HEART: Apparently in the throes of desperation and in grips of a caffeine overload, the Vail Daily added some artificial sweetener to their deal with Starbucks — free ads! The catch is that the Daily limits free speech and thought by prohibiting Eagle County’s only locally owned daily print publication from distributing inside their corporate stores. That’s right, no Mountaineers inside the corporate-owned Starbucks (Edwards, Avon and Vail Village). No word on caffeine’s effect on Roger’s heart.

Any questions on these heartless transgressions? Call Rogers up and ask for some of that accountability and truth telling he calls for (748-2920). Ask him why his only response is a generic “they’re making stuff up.”

We do pride ourselves on our creativity, but you can’t make this stuff up. The images above speak for them-selves. Ask Rogers about them, and when he can’t re-spond, ask him what happened to that “heart that is true.”

Avon could be the next town in the valley to increase sales tax.

Town workers have asked Avon busi-ness owners whether or not they support a .75 percent sales tax increase question for new bus service, which could be on the November ballot.

About two-thirds of respondents say they would support a .75 percent sales tax increase to:

1. Add town bus service to the Wal-Mart/Home Depot part of town

2. Add a Beaver Creek ski shuttle3. Add new service to the Wildridge

neighborhood

The town and Beaver Creek Resort Co. partnered on the survey.

Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Sports Au-thority and Pier 1 are among the busi-nesses that were informally polled, said Becky Lawlor, community relations of-ficer.

“We definitely are trying as hard as we can to outreach to the business com-munity,” Lawlor said. “We have survey results, but we want to know if this is something they do support.”

So far, Avon Business Association members are very interested in getting

more bus service, said Drew Dodd, trea-surer of the group and branch president for American National Bank in Avon. He encouraged business owners to come to the Avon town council meeting at 4 p.m. today to have their say on the issue.

“Busing is very important to the Avon Business Association,” Dodd said. “I think we’re behind it, but we’re contact-ing our businesses to get a complete in-put from all business association mem-bers.”

Visitors generate most sales taxAvon Town Hall is at, 1 Lake Road, in

Avon. You can also make comments at www.avon.org/transitsurvey.

Survey respondents also said they would like more pedestrian and trail im-provements.

An estimated two-thirds of the sales tax increase may be paid by visitors to Avon, the survey said.

If there is support for the sales tax in-crease, the town council may vote to put it on the November ballot. Town officials also have discussed using other revenues to pay for an increase in bus service, maybe its existing accommodations tax or some other funding mechanism.

Bus service costs about $75 per hour to provide in Avon, Town Manager Lar-ry Brooks has said.

Their music blends deep Appalachian roots and highly original songs with traditional bluegrass, indie-rock and a definite citybilly attitude, more rustic and rocking than typical Rocky Mountain bluegrass. Call it Mountain Guerilla Grass or whatever you will, Denver’s Oakhurst will bring their unpretentious, go-for-it interpretation of a genre that is often handled too reverently to the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater for tonight’s installment of the Bud Light Hot Summer Nights free concert series. Oakhurst’s work ethic and road hardened sound has made them one of the most successful acts call-ing Colorado home, while earning them the chance to perform at legendary venues like the Filmore and Red Rocks. Last year alone, the band played multiple ma-jor festivals, 33 states and 13 countries across Europe and the Caribbean. Comprised of AP Hill on lead vocals and acoustic guitar, Zach Daniels on vocals and banjo, Adam “Tar-zano” Smith on mandolin, Johnny James Qualley on stand-up bass and Chris Budin on vocals and percus-sion, Oakhurst sparks interest in bluegrass by folks who don’t know Doc Watson from Doc Holliday. The band has been steadily building a following since their first independent release in 2001 with their hybridized, hard-to-categorize sound, earning acco-lades in various genres, ranging from alt country to Americana. So what are they exactly? First and foremost, Oakhurst is bluegrass. The group has cut its chops laying out blistering banjo, mandolin and acoustic collaborations, along with spot-on harmo-nies, for some 200 shows a year. Their broad appeal and nebulous style has earned them spots on stages with very diverse national talent, including the likes of John Mayer, The Flaming Lips,

Emmylou Harris, Barenaked Ladies, Patti Griffin, Lyle Lovett and Lynyrd Skynyrd. The July 14 Bud Light Hot Summer Nights free con-cert, featuring Oakhurst, is presented by Lakota River Guides, with this week’s Bud Light Post Party hosted at The Red Lion. The gates of the Ford Amphitheater will open at 5:30 p.m. and Oakhurst will hit the stage at 6:30 p.m. The Bud Light Hot Summer Nights free concert se-ries and the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater are projects of the Vail Valley Foundation. For additional informa-tion, contact 949-1999 or visit www.vvf.org.

Two new tobacco taxes are smoking out some cigar lovers, says a local tobacconist.

The state hit tobacco with a 40 percent tax last Janu-ary. A month later the feds piled on with a new tax of their own.

President Obama signed a huge increase in the fed-eral tobacco excise tax, intended to fund part of the ex-pansion of the State Child Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).

The state legislature passed its 40 percent increase to help offset next year’s $380 million budget shortage.

Local barber/cigar roller Clay Carlton is keeping a close eye on the new tobacco taxes.

“It’s 40 cents per cigar and it has to be paid when they’re imported,” Carlton said. “Right now, my whole-salers are swallowing the difference.”

You’ll spend about $7 for a really fine cigar. Around one-fourth of that is tobacco taxes.

“As many ways as they’re pushing it out, I’m sure they think they do need the money,” said Carlton.

They’re talking about taxesThe issue is the tax increase. Depending on who’s

doing the calculating, the federal increase on the to-bacco tax is either 15 percent or 156 percent tax hike on tobacco.

The Heritage Foundation points out that tobacco taxes are paid largely by low- and middle-income in-dividuals.

“Since smokers are about as popular these days as investment bankers and politicians, the fact that smok-ers will have to pay more for the privilege of destroying their own health hardly garners much sympathy,” writes the Heritage Foundation. “But the bigger issue is that Obama made a fundamental promise during his cam-paign, and he broke it in a new land speed record.”

Obama signed the federal tobacco tax increase 15 days after taking office, after campaigning that he would not increase taxes on anyone earning less that $250,000.

The federal tax is expected to raise approximately $24 billion over the next five years and is designed to pay for new children’s health care initiatives.

The feds will provide block grants to states to expand health insurance programs for low-income children. The program allows states to cover uninsured children in families with incomes up to 200 percent of the fed-eral poverty level. That’s an income of about $44,500 for a family of four.

The corporate owner of the Chi-cago Cubs is considering having the baseball team file for bankruptcy protection as a legal step to hasten its long-awaited sale, according to two people with knowledge of the process.

Tribune Co., which itself filed for bankruptcy protection in De-cember, intends for the Cubs’ own stay in Chapter 11 to be as short as a day or two. If pursued, the filing

would be done to give the team’s next owners as “clean” a title to the Cubs as possible — to protect them from possible future claims by Tri-bune creditors.

The people familiar with the pro-cess described it to The Associated Press on Monday, confirming ear-lier reports. These people spoke on condition of anonymity because the bankruptcy plans are not yet public.

One person said the filing is not im-minent and is not necessary in order for a sale of the Cubs to take place.

Asked about the possible bank-ruptcy filing Monday, Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig said he’s been “talking to people” but “I can’t tell you there’s anything new.”

“The Tribune Co. is handling it and it’s in their hands until they come to us, and they have not come to us,” Selig said. “It’s a situation that they’re handling right now, and until baseball’s involved there’s nothing more for me to say.”

Lance Armstrong has finally admitted that there is tension among the Astana team.

The 7-time Tour de France champion carried on play-ing mind games with his younger rival and teammate Alberto Contador on Sunday. With the race’s toughest tests still to come, the 37-year old Texan has decided to put the pressure on the Spaniard’s shoulders and to show he is still in control despite trailing Contador by a fistful of seconds overall.

After Sunday’s ninth stage out of the Pyrenees moun-tains, the Texan is third, But Armstrong wants more and has settled an appointment with second-placed Conta-dor in the Alps.

Despite losing 21 seconds to Contador at the first hilltop finish Friday in the Andorran ski resort of Ar-calis, Armstrong seems convinced he can beat his Astana teammate in his quest for an 8th Tour de France triumph. Armstrong, who has meticulously previewed all the Alpine stages, even stated that he decided to let Contador go to favor his team interests when the Span-iard made his dazzling move in Arcalis.

“I wouldn’t say that I could have easily followed, be-cause it was an impressive attack,” Armstrong said. “I probably could have gone, but I didn’t see it coming and it wouldn’t be correct for me to go across. So, I waited for the other guys. I expected them to be able to pull it back and they didn’t, but that’s life, that’s cy-

cling, and I had to do the right thing.”According to Armstrong and Astana manager Johan

Bruyneel—a close friend to Armstrong—Contador went against the team’s strategy when he attacked.

Tensions resume among Astana teammates

gina Benjamin understands the needs of the poor and uninsured, making her uniquely qualified to be surgeon general as his administration tries to revamp the health care system.

CNN medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta was seen as Obama’s first pick for the job, but the adminis-tration confirmed in March that the 39-year-old neuro-surgeon had taken himself out of the running.

While the surgeon general’s job doesn’t involve much policymaking responsibility, it’s a platform for promoting public health.

She pledged to fight so that, in her words, “no one falls through the cracks as we improve our health care system.”

The United States is the only developed nation that does not have a comprehensive national health care plan for all its citizens.

Sotomayor vows loyalty Sonia Sotomayor, the first Hispanic Supreme Court

nominee in history, vowed loyalty to “the impartiality of our justice system” Monday, confronting Republican skeptics at Senate hearings suffused with racial politics but all but certain to lead to her confirmation.

“My personal and professional experiences help me to listen and understand, with the law always commanding the result in every case,” the 55-year old Sotomayor said in her first substantive remarks in public since President Barack Obama nominated her seven weeks ago.

Her comments amounted to a polite but firm rebuttal to Republicans who have criticized her 2001 comment that a “wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences” might make better rulings than a white male.Despite GOP misgivings, Democrats command a large majority in the committee and the Senate as a whole, and there seemed virtually no doubt about the ultimate outcome.

4 US soldiers killed in Afghanistan offensiveReuters is reporting four U.S. soldiers were killed by

roadside bombs in Afghanistan on Saturday, the U.S. military said on Sunday, the latest casualties in an esca-lation of insurgent violence.

The loss was one of the biggest casualty tolls since the Marines launched their assault, Operation Strike of the Sword, on July 2, ordered by President Barack Obama. The British military earlier launched their own offensive in the area.

The Marines were fighting in Helmand province, a Taliban stronghold and Afghanistan’s biggest producer of the opium that funds the insurgency. Thousands of U.S. Marines and hundreds of British troops have been fighting major new offensives in the past 10 days there.

Seven U.S. soldiers died in attacks across Afghani-stan last Monday, including four in a single bombing in northern Kunduz.

out of a New York lockup on his way to a North Caro-lina facility to begin serving his 150-year sentence, a law enforcement official said Monday.

Madoff is headed to the Butner federal prison, ac-cording to the official, who spoke on condition of ano-nymity because the official was not authorized to dis-cuss prisoner transfers.

Madoff, 71, was sentenced last month after pleading guilty in March to charges that his investment advisory business was a multibillion-dollar scheme that wiped out thousands of investors and ruined charities.

Authorities said Madoff had carried out the fraud for at least two decades before confessing to his sons in December that his investment business was a fraud and that he had lost as much as $50 billion.

The Butner Federal Correctional Complex, located about 45 miles northwest of Raleigh, N.C., includes two medium-security facilities, a low-security facil-

Kim Jong-Il terminally ill North Korea’s authoritarian leader Kim Jong Il is

suffering from pancreatic cancer and is not expected to live more than five years, a news report said Monday, the latest speculation to emerge about his health after he reportedly suffered a stroke last year.

Analysts, however, were skeptical, saying Kim’s in-creasing appearances in public this year suggest that he is unlikely to be suffering from cancer.

South Korea’s YTN television reported that the 67-year-old strongman was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer around the time he collapsed due to a purported stroke — reportedly in August last year.

YTN quoted unidentified intelligence officials in South Korea and China as saying the disease is “threat-ening” Kim’s life. Details were few, however, and the report offered no information on why the sources think Kim has cancer.

The report said that pancreatic cancer is usually only discovered in its final stage, and considering Kim’s age, he would not live more than five years.

Four letter words may be better than band-aids

Cut your finger? Stub your toe? Start swearing. It might lessen the pain. Reuters reports researchers have found swearing may have a “pain-lessening effect,”

“Swearing has been around for centuries and is an almost universal human linguistic phenomenon,” says one researcher.

“It taps into emotional brain centers and appears to arise in the right brain, whereas most language produc-tion occurs in the left cerebral hemisphere of the brain. Our research shows one potential reason why swearing developed and why it persists.”

64 volunteers were involved in the study. Each were asked to put their hand in a tub of ice water for as long as possible while repeating a swear word of their choice.

They found the volunteers were able to keep their hands in the ice water for a longer when swearing, es-tablishing a link between swearing and an increase in pain tolerance.

“What is clear is that swearing triggers not only an emotional response, but a physical one too, which may explain why the centuries-old practice of cursing de-veloped and still persists today,” he said.

Record U.S. DeficitThe federal deficit has topped $1 trillion for the first

time ever and could grow to nearly $2 trillion by this fall, intensifying fears about higher interest rates, infla-tion and the strength of the dollar.

The deficit has been widened by the huge sum the government has spent to ease the recession, combined with a sharp decline in tax revenues. The cost of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan also is a major factor.

The soaring deficit is making Chinese and other for-eign buyers of U.S. debt nervous, which could make them reluctant lenders down the road. It could also force the Treasury Department to pay higher interest rates to make U.S. debt attractive longer-term.

“These are mind-boggling numbers,” said Sung Won Sohn, an economist at the Smith School of Business at California State University. “Our foreign investors from China and elsewhere are starting to have concerns about not only the value of the dollar but how safe their investments will be in the long run.”

Motorist dies in drive over edge of Grand Canyon

Authorities say a man has driven over the edge of the Grand Canyon and plunged 600 feet to his death.

Grand Canyon National Park spokeswoman Shannan Marcak says rescue personnel found the vehicle and the body of a male below the South Rim.

The National Park Service is investigating. Marcak says no additional information was immediately available.

The incident happened around 6 a.m. Monday near the El Tovar Hotel.

It has four wheels, a pow-erful engine and can hit speeds up to 40 mph. But is a riding lawn mower tech-nically a motor vehicle?

ATLANTA (AP) — The odd question confronted the Georgia Supreme Court Monday after a man ap-pealed a 10-year sentence for swiping a riding mower from a Home Depot store.

The justices must decide whether to clip the prison term of Franklin Lloyd Harris, who was convicted of felony motor vehicle theft. The court’s decision could also help clarify what lawyers say is a murky defini-tion for “motor vehicles” that may also extend beyond lawnmowers.

State law defines a vehicle as a device which can transport people or property on a highway. But also de-fines a motor vehicle as a “self-propelled” device.

Lawyers said the case is likely to set a precedent in Georgia. It comes as other courts around the country grapple with similar concerns about whether riding lawnmowers and similar devices should be classified as vehicles.

Kile Wygle of Ohio drew worldwide headlines when he was charged in March with driving under the influ-ence after he crashed his motorized bar stool.

Are motorized bar stools and lawn mowers motor vehicles?

GALEN JACoBS AND A HoST of other talented young people will perform at a benefit concert, “Life: Unrehearsed” at the Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek on Tuesday, July 21.
