Colo. voters to decide 2 tax proposalsTwo plans to cut Colorado taxes have been cleared for bal-

lots next year.One ballot initiative would slash income taxes, vehicle reg-

istration fees and would cut most taxes and fees on phones and Internet service.

The other could lead to property tax cuts in areas with falling property values.

Colorado’s secretary of state approved the measures Friday after concluding they had enough valid signatures to make bal-lots next year.

State officials warn the measures could cost the state $1 bil-lion a year in lost tax revenue and could threaten state services such as public schools.

Bode Miller might be the only guy in the world who can get himself into as much trou-ble as he did yesterday and still, some how, take fourth place.

Coming down over the top part of Golden Eagle steeps is a huge left-footed compres-sion that redirects the racers basically 90 degrees across the hill. It’s the steepest most technical part of the course.

Coming out of the compres-sion, Miller found himself in the back seat – way in the back seat, as if he were trying to win a limbo contest rather than a World Cup.

He managed to keep the tails of his skis on the snow, and, with the tips pointed up at the Gore Range, used the flex of his skis to snap his body back into its full, upright and locked position to make the next turn.

It was nuts.“Unfortunately the mistake

on the pitch was really a pret-ty big one, and it was hard to get back in line,” Miller said after the race.

“Once the edge gets in there clean, it just slingshots you out of the compression. I had

Vail resident and former Ski and Snowboard Club Vail athlete Lind-sey Vonn won a World Cup downhill for the second straight day yester-day, giving her seven victories on the Lake Louise course since 2004.

The victory marked the first time the 25-year-old Vonn has won two downhills in two days at Lake Louise. The course hosts two downhills each year, weather permitting. “It’s quite exciting for me. I did win two events in a row a few years ago at St. Anton where I won the downhill first and then the super-combined, but this is my first double-downhill victory here,” Vonn said.

Vonn bolstered her bid for a third straight downhill crystal globe, tucking hard early from a higher start gate only to fall behind the split of then-leader Maria Riesch at the midway point.

“The conditions were great as the course was well groomed yesterday after the race, so it was very smooth. I knew I had to give what I had in me to win again. It was not easy at all as I already achieved quite a strong race yesterday. In fact, I didn?t ski as ag-gressively in the upper part where I had my problems yesterday but I was very deter-mined in the final part,” Vonn said.

A 14-time downhill winner, Vonn took a high line to build speed through the gliding section of the course and reeled in Riesch little by little before finally reclaiming an ad-vantage in the final 15 seconds of

Ideas for late ECO bus service

Dear Editor,I also used the ECO, but since the

drop of late-night buses it makes it useless to me now. I think the ECO bus board should raise the rate or add an extra small fee to the passes ($1) to help fund late bus service. Also, there are two time frames one

in the morning and one in the after-noon where there are three buses per hour that don’t need to be running. As for taxis, the number of them and the rates of a taxi do not make for either convenient or affordable alternate transportation for the daily public transportation commuter. I would love to see a commissioner stand in the cold after 12 waiting for a taxi to Edwards 4 nights a week

for 45 min at $50 plus a pop.Horace Leightner

Editor’s note: Thanks for the reply, Horace. Taxis can get expensive. We recommend you call Hummers of Vail and ask about their “Indus-try Card.” It offers a late ride ser-vice for $35 from Edwards to Vail and can be split 6 ways at $5.80 per person. Their number 977-0028.

On Friday, December 4, 2009 at approximately 2:15 p.m., a pipe burst in the attic ceiling area on the south-west side of the Town Center Building in Minturn. Ex-cessive water flooded the ceiling throughout parts of the building travelling most severely above a vacant office, but then spread along the floor into the main re-ception area on the second floor, to the Town Clerk’s office ceiling and floor, into the office which houses our computer server and hardware, into the upstairs hallway, down the hall toward the storage room and into the entryway of the conference room.

Extensive damage was done to the carpeting, insula-tion and drywall, fire system, and to some of the equip-ment and paperwork in the areas most predominantly impacted.

No injuries resulted.Additionally, the water was observed seeping out

of the west side of the building and made its way to the ceiling of the Town Council Chamber and flooded that floor too. The fire alarm system mother board was ruined, so we evacuated the residences located on the

second floor, as the fire alarm system was deemed in-operable. No apparent damage occurred in the area of the Post Office.

The Eagle County Fire District did a tremendous job in coming to our assistance and the Town staff worked to clear areas to prevent further damage. A more com-plete report will be prepared soon. We are still awaiting the insurance claims adjuster visit to assess the extent of the damage. We also had help from several other companies and service providers who will be men-tioned when the report is completed.

We will begin repairs as quickly as possible to limit the inconveniences this circumstance will cause.

Town Hall will be open on Monday, December 7, 2009 at 8 a.m., however, we will likely be limited in some of the services normally provided. The building is being dryed out over the weekend, but musty conditions and odors will likely exist. Please take precautions, or call rather than coming in, if you have any repiratory concerns. Our phone number is 970-827-5645.

Scott McClarrinon is a medical miracle.He can hear for the first time since a childhood illness

left him deaf at 3 years old. He’s 40.Dr. David Kelsall activated Scott’s new cochlear im-

plants, an electronic device that restores partial hearing to the deaf. His family’s life changed at that second.

His wife, Celynn, said something funny. He can now hear Mary Celine, their 1 year old daughter, laugh and cry. Like all new fathers, he’d rather hear her laugh.

In his own wordsWe swapped e-mails with Scott a couple days later.

It’s been both fantastic and fantastically frustrating.“I can hear once again, and in a totally different way,”

he wrote, two days after his implants were activated. “Everyone and everything sounds the same, extreme-ly high-pitched. I am able to distinguish syllables in speech, but not necessarily what word was spoken.”

The morning after, at the kitchen table, Celynn sat down her coffee cup. Scott is new at hearing, so he wasn’t sure if it was the coffee cup, or Celynn telling him to go ahead and buy that motorcycle.

It was the coffee cup, not a Kawasaki.“I am hearing things in the house that I never no-

ticed before … wall clocks ticking, the ice maker in the fridge overturning the ice cubes, electronic beeps coming from computers and printers, the clunk of set-ting down coffee mugs on tables,” Scott wrote. “It’s generally unpleasant because of the high frequencies, but then that was to be expected.”

Choirs and chalkboardsYou’re hoping for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir

singing the Hallelujah Chorus. You get something like metal on a chalkboard, but it’s a start. You understand that the choir is still tuning up.

“Dr. David Kelsall and numerous other patients and doctors had warned me that the implant, when turned on, would not sound like what I would hope for.”

Before the implants, Scott had hearing aids that gave him about 10 percent hearing in one ear. He could read lips better than John Elway reads defenses.

He could run and climb and ski and do everything he wanted – except hear their baby girl, Mary Celine.

When she starts talking, he’ll be ready to listen.Because he could hear as a small child, the brain’s

auditory pathways are there. Like all pathways that haven’t been used, they need to be repaved.

“It’s not the same as a person who has trouble seeing … go into Lens Crafters, get new glasses and presto.

They can instantly see better,” Scott wrote. “The brain needs time to distinguish and learn all the new sounds and information it is picking up.”

Dr. Kelsall, medical director with the Rocky Moun-tain Ear Center, has been doing cochlear implants for 20 years. He says Scott should show rapid improve-ment in the first three months, with ongoing improve-ment up to five years.

“The brain does not learn the complex new frequen-cies and sounds overnight,” Scott wrote. “There will be periods of frustration, but I need to be patient and allow my brain to get up to speed with the new sounds.”

Others might want itPart of the cochlear implant is on the outside of his

head, so he’ll be wearing a ski helmet for the first time. A hard knock on the noggin could damage the internal parts.

“I’m very, very glad to have this implant, and I’m looking forward to the improved hearing experiences that I expect,” Scott wrote. “Others with hearing dif-ficulties might consider such an implant.”

One more thing would be nice – Scott has never been able to listen to a two-way radio, like a police band radio or a scanner.

“It would be nice to hear the railroad conversations between the dispatcher and the engineer of the train,” he wrote.

One in eight women risk developing invasive breast cancer at some time in their life, according to the Amer-ican Cancer Society.

“That’s a pretty staggering statistic because that means either you or one of your friends will be diag-nosed with breast cancer,” said Beth Jahnigen Pappas, sports coordinator at Vail Recreation District. “That’s scary to me.”

On behalf of the people in their lives affected by breast cancer, Pappas, together with fellow VRD em-ployee Jamie Wilson Gunion and Ski and Snowboard Club Vail’s Development Director Jennifer Geisness, will ski the annual “Pink Chase Fundraiser,” to benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Pappas, who skied the event last year when it was an individual event, asked Gunion and Geisness to join the effort and their “A Team” was born.

“The girls and I were talking about how many peo-ple, not just women, are affected by breast cancer,” said Geisness. “It touches every family member.”

Geisness grandmother survived breast cancer, living to the age of 90 after undergoing a double mastecto-my.

“She was a character, when she found out she just said ‘Take ‘em off!’” said Geisness. “It’s not so easy for other women, so we hope with our little fundraising effort we might make it possible for someone not to have to make that decision.”

Women from all skiing disciplines will compete against each other in teams of three for the most verti-cal feet during the Pink Chase, sponsored by K2, on Sat. Dec. 12 at Keystone Resort.

“Skiing is a nice way to combine two things that we’re passionate about, we want to be able to help the cause and being able to do that with skiing makes it more personal to us,” said Pappas.

Pappas, Geisness and Gunion will fashion pink capes for the fundraiser, complete with hearts memorializing breast cancer survivors and victims close to them.

Sponsors are able to purchase a heart dedicated to a family member or friend.

The “A Team,” has raised a total of $1,040 in dona-tions so far, with a goal of $5,000.

“We wanted to challenge ourselves to raise as much as possible to do our part and be competitive among the other skiers,” said Pappas. “It’s a fun way to raise money for a good cause.”

The “A Team” is encouraging others to form their own teams. Registration is $40 per person until the day before the event, $150 day of.

Space is limited, so be sure to sign up early and begin fundraising to be eligible for some amazing prizes such as Cat Skiing, Orage clothing, Smith Optics, Spa party for 3, K2 skis, K2 Snowboards, and more.

For more information, visit k2skis.com/pinkchase. To help support the “A Team,” visit active.com/donate/pinkchase/BPappas7.

tana’s U.S. attorney, saying Saturday his one-time staff member and the former state prosecutor is “highly qualified” but eventually withdrew her nomination.

Baucus said that he began dating former state office director Melodee Hanes after they were both sepa-rated from their spouses. The Montana Democrat said they did not have an affair, but began dating while she worked for him.

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele called Saturday for a Senate Ethics Committee investigation of Baucus’ actions. Steele said the panel should determine “why Senator Baucus put his person-al needs above those of the people of Montana.”

Baucus, who is helping lead Democratic efforts to expand health care, recommended Hanes for the fed-eral prosecutor job in February. The senator said he appointed an independent, third-party reviewer and es-tablished “an open and fair process” that resulted in her name and two others being sent, unranked, to the White House for consideration.

He said he recommended Hanes to become Mon-tana’s U.S. attorney while they were dating because she is a highly qualified prosecutor who tried more than 100 jury trials and is widely regarded as an expert in

child abuse prosecution.

Billy Joel’s daughter popping pills in NYC

Alexa Ray Joel, the daughter of pop star Billy Joel and supermodel Christie Brinkley, was hospitalized af-ter taking eight pills at her Manhattan apartment, a law enforcement official said Saturday.

A friend frantically called 911 shortly after noon Sat-urday from the singer’s Greenwich Village apartment saying Joel, 23, had taken several pills, the official told The Associated Press. Joel took eight pills, though of-ficials didn’t know what kind she had ingested, an of-ficial said; it wasn’t clear whether she had accidentally overdosed or attempted suicide, the official said.

Joel, who was raised in Sag Harbor, a village on Long Island, attended New York University for a short time before dropping out to focus on her music career, according to her MySpace page. Her parents were di-vorced in 1994 after nine years of marriage.

In a MySpace blog post this summer, Joel described herself as “forgotten” and said she was finding it hard to meet a nice guy.

“Just Men. UGH!!! MEN!!!!” she wrote in August. “I’m so terrible at dating — I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to it! And I HATE the game-playing! Can’t stand it.”

Italy police seize secret stash of masterpieces

Italian tax police said Saturday that they had seized works by Van Gogh, Picasso, Cezanne and other giants of art in a crackdown on assets hidden by the disgraced founder of the collapsed dairy company Parmalat.

Authorities estimated the 19 masterpieces stashed away in attics and basements were valued at some €100 million ($150 million). No arrests were announced as part of the art seizure.

Parma Prosecutor Gerardo Laguardia said that, based on wiretapped phone conversations, officials believed at least one of the paintings hidden by Calisto Tanzi was about to be sold.

Tax police said Parma prosecutors are opening a probe into alleged concealing of assets in Parmalat’s bankruptcy case.

shelf-life milk grew from a small dairy distributor in Parma, into a diversified, multinational food company by 1990, but collapsed in 2003 under €14 billion in debt — eight times what it had previ-ously acknowledged — in what remains Europe’s largest corporate bankruptcy. Italian courts have already ruled that Tanzi bore the brunt of responsibility for the collapse.

For years after the collapse, Tanzi was rumored to have had a “hidden treasure” somewhere. On Nov. 29, a state TV show alleged that Tanzi had hidden a collec-tion of artwork to try to shelter himself from the effects of looming collapse of Parmalat.

Blackwater founder Prince feels thrown

under bus The man who built Blackwater USA

into one of the world’s most respected and reviled defense contractors feels that he was thrown under the bus after serving the nation’s security interests for years.

Erik Prince’s company, which re-named itself Xe Services in February af-ter an uproar over its Iraq operations, has worked closely for years with the CIA, the State Department and the U.S. mili-tary. But it became the target of a series of federal investigations and congressio-nal probes, primarily for its Iraq work. Most recently, officials disclosed that the CIA tapped the company to work under a program to capture or kill terrorists.

The 40-year-old heir to a Michigan auto parts fortune told Vanity Fair in an interview released Wednesday that Xe now pays $2 million a month in legal bills. The company is headquartered in Moyock in northeastern North Carolina,

“I put myself and my company at the CIA’s disposal for some very risky missions,” Prince told Vanity Fair for its January issue. “But when it became politically expedient to do so, someone threw me under the bus.”

Prince likened his case to the leak of former CIA operative Valerie Plame’s identity — a disclosure that led to a spe-cial prosecutor investigating the matter.

“Well, what happened to me was worse,” Prince said. “People acting for political reasons disclosed not only the existence of a very sensitive program but my name along with it.”

Medicare cuts focus of Senate

health care debate Senate Republicans forced Democrats

to vote in favor of cutting billions from providers of home care for older people as partisan debate flared Saturday during a rare weekend session on President Ba-rack Obama’s health care overhaul.

Obama planned to travel to Capitol Hill on Sunday to help Democrats re-solve internal disputes that stand in the

way of Majority Leader Harry Reid bringing the 10-year, nearly $1 trillion legislation to a vote.

Ahead of his visit, Republicans, bent on making Democrats cast politically risky votes, offered their third amendment in the debate so far showcasing more than $400 billion in cuts to projected Medi-care spending that would pay for the bill, mostly for subsidies to help extend cov-erage to millions of uninsured.

Like the other two, this one went down to defeat, on a vote of 53 to 41. The measure by Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., would have eliminated $42 billion in cuts over 10 years to agencies that pro-vide home health care to seniors under Medicare.

Four moderate Democrats joined all Republicans present in voting for the amendment: Sens. Jim Webb of Virginia, Evan Bayh of Indiana, Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas and Ben Nelson of Nebras-ka.

Clucking for cokeA close inspection by Customs and

Border Protection officers at Dulles In-ternational Airport turned up something unexpected. Inside a fully-cooked chick-en they found cocaine with an estimat-ed street value of $4,300, according to WTOP News Radio in Washington, DC.

The 60.4 grams (2.3 ounces) of coke was found inside two small, clear plastic bags inside the chicken’s cavity.

Officers reportedly discovered the white powdery substance during a sec-ondary inspection after a flight from El Salvador arrived shortly after midnight Saturday. It tested positive for cocaine.

Mp3’s life in jeopardy

Apple Inc. is in advanced talks to buy online music retailer Lala.com, a Sili-con Valley startup that has threatened “the end of the MP3” with its fast song-streaming application.

A person familiar with the matter con-firmed the talks with The Associated Press but was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of ano-nymity.

In October, Lala co-founder Bill Nguyen demonstrated to the AP a work-ing model of an application the company had developed for Apple’s iPhone.

The app, which is not available to the public, allows users to buy the right to stream songs from a digital locker for an unlimited time on their iPhones for just 10 cents each.

The song quality is lower than what Apple’s iTunes songs offer, but “intelli-gent caching” allows tracks to load and play in seconds, with playback possible even outside of cell phone coverage. The model undercuts prices charged on iTunes, where songs generally cost 69 cents to $1.29.

Nguyen described the concept as the start of “the end of the MP3.”

Nets end worst start in NBA historyThe Nets won for the first time this season Friday

night, ending the worst start in NBA history at 18 loss-es by beating the Charlotte Bobcats 97-91.

Fans stood and cheered in the final minute as the Nets, who set the record for worst start with their loss to Dallas on Wednesday night, won for the first time since April 13, when they also beat the Bobcats.

Players hugged at center court after the final buzzer, with Vandeweghe standing and clapping in front of the bench.

New Jersey trailed by eight points in the third quarter before controlling the fourth to end any fears of flirting with the NBA’s longest single-season losing streak of 23 games, held by the Vancouver Grizzlies and Denver Nuggets.

ATHLETIC STUFF

With Tiger Woods out of the Chevron World Chal-lenge, Graeme McDowell was summoned to replace him and he’s taking full advantage tying Y.E. Yang for the lead after the third round.

McDowell played a six-hole stretch at Sherwood in 6-under par Saturday on his way to a 6-under 66, giving him a share of the lead with Y.E. Yang (71) going into the final round of the $5.75 million tournament.

They were at 10-under 206, two shots ahead of Padraig Harrington and European tour money win-

ner Lee Westwood, with Ian Poulter and Jim Furyk another shot behind.

“Obviously, a huge blow for the tournament not to have Tiger here,” McDow-ell said. “I feel very fortu-nate to receive the invite. It was a great opportunity for me.”

Timing is everything for McDowell, a 30-year-old from Northern Ireland who is No. 55 in the world. Be-cause this is the first year Woods’ tournament offers world ranking points, a victory or even top finish likely makes him eligible for the Masters.

Relatives say Tim McKernan, the Denver Broncos fan known for wearing little more than a barrel at games, has died.

McKernan died of lung disease early Friday. He was 69.For 30 years, in all types of weather, McKernan donned a barrel and

cheered on the Broncos, first at Mile High Stadium and then later at INVESCO Field at Mile High.

He retired from being the Barrel Man after the 2007 Broncos sea-son.

McKernan sold the barrel he wore for Super Bowl XXXII for $30,000. It was autographed by 49 players and was sold to a Black Hawk casino. McKernan gave part of the proceeds to a battered women’s shelter.

Zthe race.With the sun shining and storm clouds long gone,

American skiers complemented Vonn’s second win of the season with a strong performance Saturday.

The 50th racer to leave the gates, racing just her third World Cup event, 21-year-old Alice McKennis (Glen-wood Springs, CO) cruised to a career-best 10th after taking 18th in a confidence-inspiring Friday run.

“I’m really excited and very happy with the results today,” Mckennis said. “The day wasn’t much different that yesterday. I just went to the start and tried to stay focused on the ski itself. I hoped it put me I good spot, and it did.”

Coming off a 10th-place finish in the first race, Julia Mancuso (Olympic Valley, CA) set a fast early pace and held the lead temporarily until teammate Stacey Cook (Mammoth, CA) jumped in front of her by .09 seconds on the next run.

They remained 1-2 through the first seven races,

eventually falling to 11th and 12th when McKennis surpassed them later.

The U.S. team, which had five skiers in the top 30 on Friday, bettered that feat in this one with four racers among the top 12 and six in the points. It was the first time since 1991 in Vail the U.S. had four of the top 12 skiers in a World Cup downhill event.

Vonn, with 24 overall World Cup victories, closed on Riesch in the overall World Cup standings, trailing 316-309 after just two speed events among six overall.

She will try to lead the U.S. Team to its third con-secutive race victory in the final event at Lake Louise, today’s super G. Fans can watch live at www.univer-salsports.com.

“I’ll for sure try hard to win again, but this is always the case at the start of any race,” Vonn said.

After today, the women travel for slalom and giant slalom World Cup races in Are, Switzerland from Dec. 12-13.

to keep my hand on the snow otherwise I’d have flipped all the way around and landed on my back. But I got my skis back on the ground.”

Miller also said time was lost on the bottom part of the course because his fitness isn’t exactly where it needs to be yet.

“On the bottom, my legs aren’t as strong as they should be right now. I just got a little bit rotated, and I couldn’t hold it,” he said. “The fitness level is going to be a bit of an issue for a little while. It’s just hard to train and get the fitness moving forward when you’re racing all the time like I am.”

Janka wins back-to-backThe Swiss continued their dominance yesterday with

Friday’s super combined winner Carlos Janka taking the top spot, inching out teammate Didier Cuche by .02 seconds. Last year’s BOP downhill champ Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway took third.

“Two wins in two days - it’s fantastic,” the 23-year-old Janka said. “I was very calm at the start, the exact same way I felt before. I made a few small mistakes but I still performed well enough to win.”

The Swiss have been tough to beat in this Birds of Prey. They posted the four best finish times in the com-bined downhill on their way to ultimately taking 1 and 2 in the super combined.

“The atmosphere on the Swiss team is fabulous,” Janka said. “It’s always pleasant and friendly.”

Saturday’s victory marked Janka’s fourth win on the World Cup – his first in the downhill.

And, with a World Championship in giant slalom al-ready under his belt, Janka might just pick up another win at today’s GS and sweep the Birds of Prey.

Weibrecht takes 11th from a 47th start positionA lot of people have been saying that Andrew

Weibrecht could be the next golden boy for American ski racing.

Asked about that assessment, Weibrecht said quite

humbly, “That’s nice of people to say, but, right now, I feel like I’ve still got a long way to go and a lot to learn before I get to a point where I’m consistently right in there. But I’m definitely taking the right steps this year, and my confidence is high and just gonna keep charg-ing.”

The five-foot, six-inch 23-year-old has made a big splash in the last two weeks with a 12th place finish (from 62nd start position) at Lake Louise, a 4th place finish at Friday’s combined downhill and a solid 11th (from 47th start position) at yesterday’s downhill.

Weibrecht has had some wild rides down the Birds of Prey. His infamous 2007 run is a YouTube favorite.

“This course still continues to scare me pretty bad,” Weibrecht said in a post-race interview with the Moun-taineer. “But I feel like I’m getting a handle on it, and it’s starting to come along. I’ve had some crashes here; I’ve had some good results. Up here, it just depends on the day.”

Weibrecht said he got a great course report from Mar-co Sullivan before his start. “Marco said it’s totally rip-pable. Having that knowledge and being able to know this is coming from a guy who was sitting in 11th at the time, it’s great,” Weibrecht said.

Thanks to strong skiing as of late, Weibrecht also earned a start spot for todays GS race. “I am excited to race the GS. My rankings aren’t that good. I’ll be starting way back - probably last - but I feel pretty good about my GS skiing. I’m just going to give it a shot and hope for my best,” Weibrecht said.

Other American notables include: Marco Sullivan, 14th; Erik Fisher, 25th; Steve Nyman, 31st; Jeremy Transue (who, in a seemingly deliberate act, sprayed all the photogs in the press box like a ski school child) 41st; Scotty Mac, DNF.

Today’s GS could be The U.S.’s best shot at a win with GS specialist Ted Ligety starting sixth. He’ll be dueling it out with GS legend Benjamin Raich of Aus-tria and, of course, the red hot Janka. Action starts at 9:45 a.m.

Coming out of the compression on Golden Eagle steeps, Miller found himself way in the back seat. He managed to keep the tails of his skis on the snow, and, with the tips pointed up at the Gore Range, used the flex of his skis to snap his body back into an upright position to make the next turn like only Bode can.
