THE UPDATE

The rebuilt airport runway should open by early Sep-tember, on schedule, although a couple surface issues have created bumps in the project’s smooth sailing, county officials said.

As local contractors doing the project lay the asphalt on the runway, federal inspectors examine every square inch. If it’s not completed to their satisfaction, it’s done again, said Eagle County Manager Keith Montag. As the critical final stages are completed, contractors and

inspectors have been experiencing occasional artistic differences.

Local contractors apparently have one concept of smoothness, while inspectors contracted with the Federal Aviation Administration have slightly different ideals.

For the first time in recorded history, a cat in Eagle has come down with pneumonic plague.

The Eagle County Public Health Department has received notification from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment this week. The domestic cat is from the Eby Creek area of Eagle.

This info, of course, begs the question, “Who cares?”

A plan to build a fire station, the Gore Range Science School campus, a Montessori school and 42 homes could get the final go-ahead from the Avon Town Coun-cil tonight.

A future recreational trail connecting to the Buck Creek Trailhead may be a condition of approval. The Buck Creek plan is slated for empty land in Avon on the north side of Interstate 70.

Gore Range Science School administrators this spring said they hoped to build a new road this fall to help builders start on a new campus next spring. The school has raised more than $6 million of the estimated $9 million it needs to build a visitor’s center and class-room.

Benefactor Oscar Tang donated a piece of land for the site, which is valued at $3.8 million.

Science school to get a home?Teachers currently take the school’s programs to 18

public and private schools in the county, along with

lifelong learning programs, staffing of the Discovery Center at Adventure Ridge on Vail Mountain and the Vail Nature Center in East Vail and partnering with the U.S. Forest Service on other programs.

The school works with about 2,300 students per year, or with about one-third of all school students in the county, according to Doug Dusenberry, director of the fundraising campaign.

There’s a stream running through the campus, which has also slowed down approval of the project — specif-ically how far away buildings are from the stream and from the road. Those buildings are expected to be en-vironmentally friendly, with straw-bale insulation and active and passive solar energy projects, Dusenberry said. The new buildings are expected to consume less energy than typical buildings and pay for themselves within five years.

Separately, Avon officials are expected to lower building permit fees temporarily and related fees to help stimulate construction. A national economic downturn has hit the construction industry across the board, in-cluding in Avon.

Vail officials may give about three acres of town land near the Vail Golf Course to a wood burning power plant project being planned by Hayden Cary & King Co. in Darien, Conn.

The town also has sent a letter to the Department of Energy to sup-port the private paper product com-pany’s plans.

The company has applied for $30 million in federal funding to build a plant that burns chipped wood for heat to potentially melt snow on town streets, to heat some water in town and to generate energy to heat and cool some buildings.

Company representatives did not return a phone call on Monday.

But Mark Gordon, a Vail Town Councilman, said the plant would have virtually no emissions, and that it would use the lodgepole pine trees as fuel that have been killed by a bark beetle infestation in the mountains.

“It’s not like burning trees in your fireplace. There’s no smell, there’s no smoke, there’s no steam,” Gor-don said. “It’s incredibly efficient.”

Potash is the only “waste” gener-ated from the process, which is sold to fertilizer companies, Gordon said.

An environmental leader“We need to be an environmental

leader,” Gordon said. “That’s what the vast number of people want here.”

In surveys, residents have said that environmental issues are a top priority for the town, along with having homes in town that people who live there can afford to rent or to buy.

Vail has a goal to try to reduce its carbon emissions and energy use by

20 percent below 2006 levels by the year 2020.

“It’s going to be a huge step up in efficiency and sustainability over the natural gas heaters we use to heat the streets,” Gordon said. “We buy hot water at less, that will be a savings to the people.”

In addition to support from town representatives, Gov. Bill Ritter also supports the plan, as does U.S. Sen. Mark Udall, the U.S. Forest Service, the Denver Water Board and Vail Resorts, among others.

Wood burning jobs?“We … were asked if we would

participate in the process by assist-ing with initial research and grant writing,” Stan Zemler, Vail’s town manager, said in a statement. “We ‘re hopeful the grant is successful.”

Building such a plant could create new jobs and could be a showcase

for sustainable energy use, the town said in a statement.

No specific financial informa-tion has been drawn up yet, Gordon said.

Nearby Avon also has looked into alternative power sources, cur-rently working on a project to use waste from the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District to heat the town’s recreation center and pool.

More than 1.5 million acres of trees have died statewide. Forest Service officials have said they ex-pect almost all of the trees in White River National Forest to die. Be-cause of a national slowdown in the construction industry, area lumber mills and wood pellet plants are not currently buying trees, Forest Ser-vice officials have said. Last winter, Vail burned slash piles and other wood cut down to protect the town from a future forest fire threat.

Vail’s different daily alternative

says Rick Miklich, emergency preparedness coordina-tor for Eagle County Public Health. “It’s nothing to get hysterical about, but we are taking it seriously. We rec-ommend taking precautions.”

Eagle County Public Health Nurse Manager Anne Robinson says plague periodically cycles within rodent populations in the western U.S. She says domestic cats that spend time outdoors are the ones susceptible to plague.

Plague is transmitted by the bite of infected fleas to a variety of mammals. Ground squirrels, prairie dogs, rabbits and chipmunks are common hosts of infected fleas. Plague may be transmitted to humans by bites from fleas, by handling of infected animal carcasses, or by scratches, bites or the cough of infected cats.

Symptoms in cats such as a fever, discharge from the eyes, swollen tongue, mouth ulcers, enlarged tonsils, vomiting or diarrhea require immediate attention from a veterinarian. Dogs are generally resistant to plague.

In humans, symptoms of plague generally develop

two to six days after infection and can include a sudden onset of high fever, muscle pain, malaise (a general feel-ing of being ill), nausea and vomiting and swelling in the armpit or groin area. With pneumonic plague, individu-als may also experience shortness of breath, oral or nasal discharge and coughing or sneezing. Those experiencing these symptoms should see their health care provider. Plague can be treated with the use of antibiotics.

Robinson recommends keeping your pets away from rodents and controlling the presence of rodents and fleas in and around the home and to avoid contact with any species of wild rodents, especially sick or dead ro-dents. Parents should advise children to avoid contact with these animals, and pet owners who live close to rodent populations should use flea control products recommended by their veterinarian. Controlling fleas on pets can prevent the transfer of fleas to humans.

“If these reasonable precautions are taken, the prob-ability of contracting plague is extremely low,” said Robinson.

After 44 years in the Vail Valley my father, Gerry White, has moved out of Vail for health reasons. My sisters and I wanted to update the community on his health and thank you all for the outpouring of support and love for my Dad and for us.

Gerry and Elaine moved to Vail in 1964 and built the Ramshorn Lodge - raising their family in the shadow of Golden Peak. My father has always been a cowboy at heart - independent and strong - but unfortunately, his health has not kept up with his spirit. As most of you know, my father had a traumatic brain injury 35 years ago. He began having strokes a year ago that com-pounded this old brain injury and have made it so that he is no longer able to live on his own. His decline was sudden and we had to move him quickly and without the ceremony that such a change deserves. We all wish he had been able to say a proper good-bye to you all.

He is now living in the Seattle area near my sister Vanessa and her family. He is able to spend a great deal of time with his grandkids at my sister’s house and is beginning to accept the Seahawks as a home team.

He misses the mountains, the snow, the skiing and most of all the people of Vail. It is our hope that he will be able to return to visit in the future. If you would like to contact Gerry he can be reached at:

Merrill Gardens15465 179th Avenue, SE, #123Monroe, WA 98272

Thank you again for your support to our family,Ashley White Seeger

Thanks to two kind people and all first responders in Avon

On Tuesday, July 14, between 5 and 6 p.m., my grandson and I were enjoying a bike ride around Avon and its beautiful locale. Unfortunately, and for reasons I can’t remember, I “crashed” and suffered rather seri-ous injuries. Due to a concussion, I didn’t start to re-member anything until about 9:30 p.m. that evening in the Vail Medical Center Emergency room.

The purpose of this letter is to thank all those who responded to my predicament; the police department., fire department, emergency services and especially two kind citizens who found me, called 911 and provided initial support. Since I didn’t get any of your names, I hope this public letter will let you know how deeply ap-preciative I am of your kind help. Even though I spent the rest of my vacation in the Vail Medical Center, I was rewarded with superb treatment and great personal concern by all the doctors and hospital staff.

I am looking forward to returning to your beautiful area and its super nice citizens. Thank you all very much; I could not have asked for better treatment.

Sincerely,Don ReynoldsSan Antonio, TX

spider, with a body in Denver and about 50 legs to cit-ies around the U.S. as well as Mexico and Costa Rica. Southwest already competes in Denver with Frontier as well as United Airlines, which has a hub there.

Buying Frontier would give Southwest service in several new cities, and take out one of its two big com-petitors in Denver. Southwest would have about 36 percent of Denver passengers, compared with about 37 percent for United, according to an analysis by airline analyst Darryl Jenkins of The Airline Zone.

“This provides us a great way to grow substantially in a city that is very important to us,” said Bob Jordan, Southwest’s executive vice president for strategy and planning.

Obama voices support for

ousted HonduranPresident Barack Obama and his counterparts from

Mexico and Canada emerged Monday from a speed summit united on recession fighting and Honduras’ ousted leader.

Since Honduran President Manuel Zelaya was ousted in a June 28 coup, international demands to return him to power have gone unheeded.

Obama told critics they can’t follow decades of com-plaints about American heavy-handedness in Latin America with today’s pleas for more direct interven-tion. “You can’t have it both ways,” he said.

He got vigorous backing from his host, Mexican President Felipe Calderon, and from Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. “If I were an American, I would be really fed up with this kind of hypocrisy,” Harper said.

The U.S. has suspended millions of dollars in aid and issued threats of more sanctions, but has mostly worked through the Organization of American States to try to resolve the situation. Some, including Zelaya, have criticized that as tepid.

Pelosi rips health care protestors, silent

on code PinkThe House’s top two Democrats on Monday called

some of the behavior of health care overhaul opponents “simply un-American.” The White House disagreed.

Protesters have disrupted town hall meetings held by lawmakers, in some cases shouting down speakers at the events. Police have had to intervene and videos of the events have circulated widely on YouTube and cable news.

“These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views — but of the facts themselves,” said Speaker Nancy Pelosi of Califor-nia and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland. “Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American.

Drowning out the facts is how we failed at this task for decades.”

Democratic leaders have argued that the Republican Party and national conservative and industry groups have ginned the protests up.

Boehner rips PelosiIn immediate response to Speaker Nancy Pelosi of

California’s calling protestors of Obama’s health care overhaul “simply un-American,” House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio gave his two-cents to the press.

“To label Americans who are expressing vocal op-position to the Democrats’ plan ‘un-American’ is outra-geous and reprehensible,” Boehner said in a statement.

Pelosi and Hoyer contended that the protests were an “ugly campaign” meant to misrepresent health over-haul legislation before Congress as well as disrupt pub-lic meetings.

Meanwhile labor unions and the Democratic Party are encouraging their supporters to go to town hall and other events to support President Barack Obama’s health overhaul agenda.

Congressional jet setters wavering

Senators are lining up to weigh in on a proposal from House lawmakers to spend $550 million on upgrading passenger jets for senior government officials, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday.

“The whole thing kind of makes me sick to my stom-ach,” Sen. Claire McCaskill (D., Mo.) told the Journal. “It is evidence that some of the cynicism about Wash-ington is well placed -- that people get out of touch and they spend money like it’s Monopoly money.”

The House wants to buy eight Gulfstream and Boe-ing planes just before the busiest month of the year for overseas travel for both chambers of Congress.

Sen. John Thune of South Dakota told the Journal the funding for new planes is “a classic example of Congress being out of touch with the realities of deficit spending.”

Guy who runs Citgo upset about troop movements

Hugo “The guy who runs Citco” Chavez on Sunday publicly shook a finger at his Colombian counterpart Alvaro Uribe, saying Columbian troops that had entered Venezuela across the Orinoco River were a “provoca-tion,” Breitbart reports.

“We are not talking about a patrol with a few soldiers that strayed over a border” into Venezuela,” Chavez said on his weekly television show “Hello President.” “These troops crossed the Orinoco River in a boat and carried out an incursion into Venezuelan territory.”

Chavez said the Columbian troops had left the region before his Venezuelan troops could respond.

Robin Williams and cow valve to tour

Comedian Robin Williams announced a comeback tour after recovering from heart surgery, the San Fran-cisco Chronicle reports.

Williams told the Chronicle he’s feeling “energized” and plans to start performing stand-up comedy later this year.

The comedian had his heart valve replaced with bo-vine parts in March after falling ill on his Weapons of Self-Destruction tour.

“This little break has given me more energy than ever,” he told the Chronicle. “Plus, it’s wonderful to have a cow valve. If you don’t mind the grazing, it’s quite invigorat-ing.”

Hillary is not channeling Bill

Hillary Clinton has a message for the world: It’s not

all about Bill.The secretary of state bristled Monday when — as

she heard it — a Congolese university student asked what her husband thought about an international finan-cial matter.

She hadn’t traveled to Africa to talk about her hus-band the ex-president. But even there, she couldn’t es-cape his outsized shadow.

“My husband is not secretary of state, I am,” she snapped. “I am not going to be channeling my hus-band.”

The president’s ambitious travels have overshadowed her, heavyweight special envoys have been assigned to the world’s critical hotspots, Vice President Joe Biden has taken on assignments abroad — and then last week her husband succeeded in a North Korean mission to free two journalists even as she landed in Africa on a seven-nation trip.

Cougar tranquilizedA mountain lion found near Interstate 70, about

2 miles east of E-470 Sunday was tranquilized and moved to the foothills on the west side of the Denver metro region, The Apprahoe County Sheriff’s Depart-ment reported Monday.

The big cat was taken to an area where mountain li-ons are more commonly found.

A resident of a trailer park trapped the cat in a shed and called the cops, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Of-fice said.

A Colorado climber has died in a mountaineering accident in North Cas-cades National Park.

Craig Luebben, 49, of Golden, Colo., was an accomplished climber and Mount Everest guide.

The National Park Service says Lueb-ben and his climbing partner Guillermo Benegas of Sandy, Utah, were approach-ing the southeast face of Mount Torment on Sunday when a piece of ice broke off, taking Luebben with it.

He fell about 40 feet and was critically injured by falling ice.

His climbing partner managed to

move Luebben to a ledge and call for help on a cell phone. However, Rang-er Kelly Bush says Luebben died before he could be res-cued. Bush says neither climber did anything wrong, calling them both “highly skilled, on top of their game.”

National Park Service rangers brought the two men out by helicopter.

The first video review ever at Coors Field upheld that a ball hit by Troy Tu-lowitzki of the Colorado Rockies with the bases loaded was foul.

With one out in the second inning Monday night, Tulowitzki hit a fastball from Esmailin Caridad of the Chicago Cubs deep down the left-field line and it was ruled foul by third base umpire Bill Welke.

Rockies manager Jim Tracy came out to argue the call and the review of the play took 4 minutes, 10 seconds.

Tulowitzki had a two-run single to give the Rockies a 6-0 lead.

And that wasn’t all the action.Chicago Cubs starter Tom Gorzelanny

left Monday night’s game against the

Colorado Rockies with a right foot con-tusion after getting hit by a hard ground-er in the second inning.

With one out and runners on first and third, Dexter Fowler hit a hard grounder off Gorzelanny’s right foot. Gorzelanny fielded the ball near the third-base line but slipped as Yorvit Torrealba scored to give the Rockies a 4-0 lead.

Gorzelanny threw a few warmup pitch-es after the play, but was taken out of the game. He was replaced by Esmailin Car-idad, who made his major league debut after his contract was purchased from Triple-A Iowa.

The Rockies had a 7-0 heading into the 5th inning.

played on and around his projects.Among the public buildings are the Vail Vail Cha-

pel, the Beaver Creek Chapel, the Donovan Park Pavil-ion, and while they were at it they also built Donovan Park.

Viele also built Vail’s Pirate Ship Park, the Vail Gym-nastics Center, the Vail Tennis Center at Ford Park.

Viele’s stamp of quality is all over high-end homes and projects all over the valley.

“He was one of the nice guys, not out there trying to call a lot of attention to himself,” said longtime friend Diana Donovan.

Longtime aquaintence Rod Slifer expressed similar sentiments.

“I never heard him say a bad word about anyone,” said Slifer. “He was a smart businessman who was suc-cessful for a long, long time. For all that success, he was very low key.”

Viele is a graduate of Worcester Polytechnic Institute where he earned a B.S. in Civil Engineering. He began his career working for his father’s general contracting firm in Stowe, Vermont.

Following graduation from college, he worked as a construction engineer for American Paper Company in New York.

But the Rockies were calling and he landed in Colo-rado in 1968 to pursue his passions of skiing, hunting

and fishing.He was a member

of the original Vail Associates develop-ment team and found himself in a great place at a great time. He helped plan and develop subdivisions and projects all over Vail, Beaver Creek and Arrowhead.

Viele headed the Vail Associates con-struction group from 1973 until 1978,

leaving to start J.L. Viele Construction, Inc.Jim and wife Kathy have three children, David, Jen-

nifer and Emily, all graduates of Dartmouth College. David is the current president and CEO Viele Con-

struction. He was born and raised in the Vail Valley. He graduated Dartmouth College and holds an MBA with an emphasis in finance from the University of Denver’s Daniels College of Business. David spent four years competing as a member of the United States Ski Team and won consecutive NCAA titles while representing Dartmouth.

ress,” said Montag. “They are chal-lenging the contractor on certain smoothness issues, and the runway will meet those standards.”

The airport has been closed for five months while the runway was taken down and rebuilt. Smaller planes and private jets have been able to use the taxiway to fly in and out.

As with all successful relation-ships, the smoothness issues will be worked out, based in part on who’s paying. The FAA is shelling out for more than 95 percent of the $22 mil-lion project, Montag said.

It’s a little like building a McMan-sion and fussing with your spouse and/or significant other about the curtains. Of course, jets weighing dozens of tons and carrying hundreds of people don’t take off or land from your curtains several times a day in all sorts of horrible weather, so may-be it’s not really like that at all.

“Federal inspectors have been testing and monitoring that runway every inch of the way,” said Mon-tag.

That’s mostly because you can’t have visitors hanging upside down by their seatbelts because their plane bounced too hard on a run-way rough spot. That would tend to scare away visitors and their dis-posable income, and render the air-port unable to fulfill its fundamental function as a tourist attractor.

“We have some asphalt experts from the FAA coming in to make sure everything is perfect,” said Montag.

Everyone is working hard to make sure everything is perfect, said Montag. They’ve been working

every day around the clock – OK, halfway around the clock because you can’t pave in the dark.

“They’ve been working more than 12 hours a days, seven days a week,” said Montag.

County officials are already plan-ning events for the runway’s open-ing. Rumors of using the brand new runway for the Great American

Purpose of a Drag Race continue to circulate.

Getting the paving done by mid-August will give the asphalt time to cure before massive aircraft start landing on it in September.

“We’re optimistic that the paving will be done by the middle of Au-gust,” said Montag.

Crews pave the runway portion Monday of the Eagle County Airport. The airport is still set for a September opening despite debates be-tween local contractors and the FAA over the smoothness of the run-way. Avery Cunliffe photo.

IF YOU DON’T kNOW ABOUT the get together for Nick Asoian, then you don’t read the Mountaineer enough! Nick grew up here in the Vail Valley and is having a great shindig tomorrow at Rick and Kelly’s in Edwards to help get the word out about Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and how to help raise money for Nick to fight off this terrible disease. This event is a social gathering and should be a lot of fun. There will be a fundraiser in October for Nick and the proceeds will all go to the Vail Valley Charitable Fund, but for now this is an opportunity to get involved and let Nick’s supporters know if you can help donate time, door prizes or even good thoughts. The event starts at 4:30 p.m.; bring your ideas on how to help.
