A-basin hits 100 inches More snow on the way for mountain’s best year since ‘96 When Vail closes each April, the energy and excitement leftover from the season makes its annual migration to a mountain just more than an hour to the east - Arapahoe Basin. All signs point to an epic spring season at A-Basin; officials announced yesterday that the mountain has hit a 100-inch base. Not only is that the deepest base the mountain has seen all season, it’s the first time A-basin has had a 100-inch base since 2003. The mountain reported seven inches of new snow today. A-Basin has reported 382 inches of snow since the mountain opened in October, making this season the third best in A-Basin history. The mountain is still 100

percent open, and isn’t set to close until June 5. The mountain’s administration will re-examine that date around June 1, and decide if they should keep the ski season going for an extra week. Those hoping to celebrate the 100 inch mark are best served by going to the mountain’s “Local’s Day” party today, where those without an epic pass can get on the mountain for just $49 with a coupon from the Summit Daily News. Loveland Ski Area, the only other ski resort still open in Colorado, reported a 100-inch base April 15, and reported a 115-inch base as of last night. Loveland will close May 8.

The Eagle County Sheriff Office arrested Alfred Bamberger, age 73, of Edwards for sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust. Bamberger is alleged to have had inappropriate contact with an underage patient while providing homeopathic treatment at Finis Boni in Edwards. Bamberger turned himself in and was seen by a county court judge yesterday after a warrant was issued. Judge Katherine Sullivan authorized a $10,000 bond with conditions specific to sexual offenses. Bamberger may not have contact with anyone under the age of 18 or congregate in places children are likely to be found such as schools, parks or playgrounds. He is scheduled to be back in court on Tuesday, May 3. Anyone who believes they may have been victimized by Bamberger should call 479.2200 to make a report. The Eagle County Sheriff’s Office provides free training and information to the public on a variety of topics including sexual assault. According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, 93 percent of juvenile sexual assault victims know their attacker. Many sexual offenders “groom” their victims prior to any sexual contact, using subversive actions to gain access and trust of the victim and the victim’s family. Grooming is essentially training the victim and family members to lower their guard. Behaviors vary but may include relationship building through shared interests or activities; development of a sense of specialness with the victim; and shared secrets between the adult and child. April is National Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
If you would like more information or training on sexual assault or other public safety topics contact the Eagle County Sheriff’s Office at 328.8500.
CORRECTION - In the cutline for an article in Sunday’s Mountaineer, the EpicMix rankings of three men were incorrect. The cutline listed the EpicMix rankings for Shawn C., Cesar Hermosillo, and Jeff B., but incorrectly listed their rankings on the overall leaderboard instead of on the Vail leaderboard. At the end of the season, the three men were ranked first, fifth, and fourth, respectively on the Vail leaderboard. The Mountaineer regrets this error, and apologizes to these three men for understating their epic seasons.

County ratifies more open space
This Week’s Specials

In their quest to get the most possible land with the county’s $21 million open space fund, the Eagle County Commissioners are now looking to buy another 10-acre parcel along the Eagle River just east of Dotsero. The commissioners ratified an agreement to by the property for $299,000 at their last meeting. The parcel is located on the south side of Interstate 70 along the banks of the Eagle River, and is right next to 40 acres of land the county purchased more than a year ago. “I don’t think of it as a new piece of property,” County Attorney Brian Treu said in his presentation to the commissioners yesterday. “I look at
commissioners to provide increased access to the Eagle and Colorado rivers near Dotsero. They are considering a similar 10-acre parcel near the confluence of the rivers for a boat ramp, and another 232-acre parcel 13 miles up the Colorado River for boat access. “I think it’s a really good idea,” Commissioner Sara Fisher said in an interview yesterday. Fisher said she uses that section of river as an inner tuber, and that a takeout on the 10-acre parcel would be welcomed by the community that uses the river. “There are hundreds of people that use that river some days,” Fisher said, and the use of the river varies from fisherman to kayakers to tubers like herself.

it as a continuation of property we already bought.” The county had worked with the Division of Wildlife on the use of the 40 acres, Treu said, and had been told they would need the additional 10-acre parcel if they wanted to build a boat ramp. The 40-acre parcel hosts a small pond, and is currently being used by the DOW. Open space purchases must be reviewed by the Open Space Advisory Committee, which manages the county’s open space fund. Because of time constraints on the purchase of this particular parcel, Treu said yesterday the commissioners may need to buy the land with money from the general fund, then seek reimbursement from OSAC. If it goes forward, the purchase will be one of three eyed by the

Huskies sweep Devils Battle Mountain girls soccer beats EVHS 3-0 By Brian Alexander Mountaineer Staff Writer The Battle Mountain girls varsity soccer team returned to the pitch yesterday after almost two weeks off, thanks to spring break, and were greeted by a familiar foe: the Eagle Valley lady Devils. Apparently, Mother Nature wasn’t ready to come back to the field, and tried her best to force a postponement. Blustery winds brought about chilly thirty degree temperatures and Dippin’ Dots-esque type snow throughout the game in Gypsum. The Eagle Valley girls were out for revenge, as the lady Huskies handed the Devils a 4-1 defeat less than three weeks ago in Edwards. While the lady Devils were out for revenge, Battle Mountain was looking to rebound from a nonconference loss right before break at the feet of Basalt. Last night’s game saw Battle Mountain rebound nicely from their defeat, handling the home team lady Devils by a final score of 3-0. It was a contest that had the lady Huskies in control from the start, as freshman Jenai Dinardo ripped a hard shot off the crossbar just missing scoring an early goal from 25 yards out. Shortly after Dinardo’s ripper, Battle Mountain’s Haille Hogfeldt took a free kick from 40 yards out that hit hard off the left post, deflecting to a teammate in the box who rushed the rebound attempt a bit and sent it over the top of the crossbar. The Huskies were in complete control of the first half, both offensively and defensively, but the score remained at zeroes halfway through the first. As hard as Eagle Valley’s defense tried to keep Battle Mountain off the scoreboard, it was just a matter of time before the Husky pressure would force a goal. With 19 minutes to play in the 40 minute half,

it was the lady Huskies Kelli Lindsay getting her team on the board first, after redirecting a pass off her hip from her Husky teammate that found the back corner of the net. Battle Mountain leads 1-0 on the road after the Lindsay goal heading into halftime. With not a lot of offensive possession or control in the first half, the lady Devils were looking to come out aggressive to start the second forty minutes of play. As Eagle Valley tried to apply some pressure, Battle Mountain would answer, just missing a goal on a beautiful corner kick, and a pair of scoring attempts on back-to-back shots by Emma Porter. With all these Husky scoring chances the inevitable was bound to happen, another Battle Mountain goal, and that’s exactly

what transpired as the lady Huskies kept firing shots on goal and eventually at the twenty minute mark an Eagle Valley defender deflected a Battle Mountain shot into her own goal, extending the lady Husky lead to 2-0. The lady Devils kept fighting, not giving up until the final whistle blew – but when it did – Eagle Valley found themselves on the wrong end of the scoreboard by a final tally of 3-0, as Battle Mountain reigned supreme this year, sweeping the rival lady Devils. Eagle Valley’s next game is tomorrow night against Moffat in Gypsum. The lady Huskies next game is Saturday morning on the road against Cheyenne Mountain High School.

Concertgoers at the Snowball Music Festival cheer during Bassnectar, the headlining act on March 5. According to official numbers given yesterday by the festival founders, the three-day event brought 9,000 people and $2.6 million to Avon. Avery Cunliffe photo.
By Phil Lindeman Mountaineer Staff Writer A relatively small but vocal collection of residents came to the Avon Town Council meeting last night to hear a recap of March’s Snowball Music Festival, with various sides labeling it either as “amazing” or as a “drug fest.” Before either side began weighing in, the council assured the group of roughly 20 residents, promoters, founders, and business owners that the town has not yet decided on the event’s future in Avon, whether at the contested venue of Nottingham Park or not. “We need to have something in our hands that says, ‘this is what will happen in 2012’ before we take further action,” Mayor Rich Carroll told Chad Donnelly and Scott Stoughton, the festival founders.
Town staff will present a separate, internal report to the council on May 10, but the clock is ticking for the planners. Donnelly said Snowball will return in 2012 and would like to hear from the council within six weeks about future collaboration. “It would be nice to have eight months to plan and have everything set beforehand,” Donnelly said. On paper, Snowball was a bona fide success for local businesses. The festival drew over 9,000 people – a combination of concertgoers, staff, band members, and crew – who spent an estimated $2.6 million in Avon, all during a three-day span. Brian Kolzow, part owner of High Mountain Taxi, said his drivers were running non-stop throughout the three-day event. He was also

impressed with the efforts of nearly 300 volunteers to control crowds and traffic, particularly in Avon’s roundabouts. While a chief goal of Snowball was to drive people to Avon, the two residents who spoke against the festival, Phil Strube and Carole Warren, said the council needs to refocus energy on family-friendly events. “I am a parent, an educator, and a permanent resident of this community,” Warren said, recalling the incident of a man who was killed by a drunk driver on March 6, an incident she related directly to Snowball. “I am deeply concerned that this community will support events for dollars rather than the health and welfare of our children.” To address similarities to the [See SNOWBALL, page 16]

Russell Brand reinvents the role of loveable billionaire Arthur Bach, an irresponsible charmer who has always relied on his limitless fortune and the good sense of his lifelong nanny Hobson (Helen Mirren), to keep him out of trouble. Arthur spends every day in the heedless pursuit of amusement, but when his unpredictable public image threatens the reputation of the family, he is given an ultimatum: marry the beautiful but decidedly unlovable Susan Johnson (Jennifer Garner), an ambitious corporate exec who can keep him in line, or say goodbye to his billion-dollar inheritance and the life he knows.
In “Soul Surfer,” a young surfer girl summons the courage to go back into the ocean after losing an arm in a shark attack. Based on the incredible true story of star surfer Bethany Hamilton, up-and-comer Annasophia Robb portrays the unwavering teenager in the days and months after the horrific attack. With the help of her parents (Dennis Quaid and Helen Hunt), along with remarkable support from nearly everyone in her community, Bethany returns to the sport she loves after just several months of rehabilitation. Carrie Underwood also takes a starring role as Bethany’s mentor.

This Saturday, philanthropists across the valley will have a chance to shed a few calories in the fight against hunger. The CROP walk in Eagle Ranch starts at 1 p.m. Saturday. Participants will walk, run, push, pull, or drag themselves along either a one kilometer or five kilometer course in Eagle Ranch. Grand Avenue Grill is hosting a pre-walk party Friday night with The Great Divide Band, and the owner has agreed to donate 10 percent of food sales to the cause. Over the next five days, several local businesses have made similar pledges. Today’s business is Paradigms Restau-
rant in Eagle, which has agreed to donate 10 percent of the proceeds from your order if you mention the CROP walk. Tomorrow, La Tour in Vail has made a similar deal.

Suspect in attempted Denver bombing caught No motive determined for man who tried to set off pipe bomb in food court By Solomon Branda Special to the Mountaineer A man suspected of leaving a homemade bomb at a Colorado shopping mall — initially raising concerns about a possible Columbine-inspired plot — was captured yesterday without a fight outside of a grocery store after he was spotted having coffee. Federal and local officials allege 65-year-old Earl Albert Moore planted a pipe bomb and propane tanks in the Southwest Plaza Mall in the south Denver suburbs last week. The explosives were found April 20 after a fire in a hallway at the mall’s food court, but they didn’t detonate. The discovery came on the 12th anniversary of the Columbine shootings and the mall is just two miles away from the high school where teenage gunmen killed 12 students and a teacher in 1999. Both the fire and the school shootings occurred around the same time of day and a pipe bomb and propane tanks were also found at Columbine after the shootings. Authorities looked at the possibility of a connection between the two events but say they’ve concluded there was no tie. FBI agents have said they have found a motive, but they refused to reveal it yesterday. Police arrested Moore after a shopper spotted him having a cup of coffee in a Starbucks inside a King Soopers grocery store in Boulder. Authorities said he was unarmed and officers didn’t have to draw their weapons.
Police and store security searched the store after Moore’s arrest and said they didn’t find anything suspicious. Supermarket spokeswoman Kelli McGannon said the shopper who spotted Moore alerted a store manager and then dialed 911. Boulder police officer Steve Cast said he and officer Greg Perry responded to the store and that a manager pointed out Moore to Perry. Perry was watching Moore when the suspect went out a side entrance near the coffee shop. Cast, who was outside in a marked police car, was able to stop him. “He turned toward me and realized I was the police and did an about-face,” said Cast. Cast said he swung his car around to block Moore and got out of the car, with his hand on his gun. Moore immediately got on the ground when ordered and didn’t talk to Cast. Boulder police spokeswoman Kim Kobel said Moore had some facial hair, like he hadn’t shaved, but had no mustache as shown in pictures released by the FBI. Officials identified Moore as the suspect on Sunday after viewing surveillance video showing him in the mall and on a bus. The FBI then alerted its field offices covering all 50 states and Puerto Rico to be on the lookout for Moore, who was released from prison a week before the explosives were found. It’s unclear where Moore spent the past six days but FBI spokesman Dave Joly said he was homeless. Kobel said it was unclear whether he was camping
in Boulder. He’s due to appear in court today. Moore has an extensive criminal record and public records show he lived in Colorado at least part time from the mid1980s to 2004. Federal Bureau of Prisons records show that Moore was released from prison April 13 after serving time in a federal prison in Atlanta and Estill, S.C. Federal court records show that Moore pleaded guilty in May 2005 to robbing a bank in Crab Orchard, W.Va., of $2,546. A judge sentenced Moore to 18 years in prison for the bank robbery. However, his sentence was reduced to seven years in February 2008 after prosecutors asked for a reduction because he cooperated with authorities in another case, according to court documents. Colorado Bureau of Investigation records show several arrests for possession of dangerous drugs, theft, and possession of burglary tools dating to 1984. Court records show that an arrest warrant had been issued for Moore in September 2004, six months before the West Virginia bank robbery, for his failure to appear at a court hearing related to a burglary tools case. In 1985, Moore pleaded guilty to unlawful escape from custody of the attorney general and possession of an unregistered firearm and was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison, according to court records. Moore had walked away from a halfway house and was later found with machine gun parts, according to records.
Federal authorities could not immediately provide details of where he served his sentence in that case. In that case, U.S. District Judge Zita Weinshienk noted in July 1985 that Moore had a “long past history of offenses involving firearms and explosives” and denied a reduction of his sentence, saying that Moore “was not an ‘average’ offender.” Moore’s public defender asked for a reduction in his sentence partly because he cooperated with federal agents in the discovery of a drug lab in New Jersey and aided in their apprehension, according to documents stored at the Federal Records Center in suburban Denver. Moore also served a year in Danbury, Conn., federal prison in 1983, according to Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesman Edmond Ross. Details of his previous court cases were not immediately available. Moore has used at least seven aliases that include variations of the names Earl Albert Buchannan, Donald Charles Morelli and Gary Steele, according to state arrest records. In addition, the FBI said Moore also uses the alias John Lindzy. Public records show the owners of an apartment complex in Denver had filed to evict Moore and a female relative in October 2004 for failure to pay rent, The Denver Post reported. Two banks also filed claims saying he owed them a total of more than $11,000, Denver court records show. —This story appears courtesy The Associated Press

Government forces bombard Libyan port
Libyan government forces yesterday bombarded the port of Misrata, in a virtually nonstop assault on the sole lifeline of a battered population that has been under siege for the past two months. While forces loyal to Moammar Gadhafi pulled out of the city over the weekend under pressure from NATO airstrikes, they have since unleashed a withering rocket and mortar barrage on Misrata that has killed dozens Yet Gadhafi appears increasingly on the defensive. And some see the past

16 journalists detained, missing in Libya
Sixteen journalists covering the conflict in Libya are reported missing or detained by authorities in the North African country. Three Americans are on the list of endangered journalists, compiled yesterday by the Committee to Protect Journalists and other reporting sources.
Hundreds detained after Syrian crackdown
Syrian forces heaped more punishment yesterday on residents of restive towns,
detaining hundreds in raids or at checkpoints, firing on people trying to retrieve the bodies of anti-government protesters and even shooting holes in rooftop water tanks in a region parched by drought, witnesses said. But the campaign of intimidation through violence and arrests was unlikely to work, according to a human rights worker, noting that every time Syrian forces surrounded or attacked one town, sympathetic protests broke out elsewhere nearby.
The hunt begins
The massive security breach that allowed the Taliban to spirit more than 480 Afghan inmates out southern Afghanistan’s largest prison must have involved inside collaborators, the Justice Ministry said yesterday, as security forces worked to recapture the escaped convicts.
The Kandahar provincial governor’s office said troops have already caught 71 of those who escaped and killed two who tried to resist. Authorities have biometric data on each prisoner, which aids in their identification, the governor’s office said.
Quake shakes Acapulco
A moderate earthquake shook the Mexican Pacific coast resort of Acapulco yesterday, forcing dozens of nervous spring vacationers into the streets. No damages or injuries were reported. The magnitude-5.7 quake occurred at 6:07 a.m. local time and was centered about 30 miles northeast of Acapulco, in the state of Guerrero, the U.S. Geological Survey in Colorado reported on its website.

Arched bridge no more
Denver International Airport has decided against using renowned architect Santiago Calatrava’s design for a dramatic, arced bridge over Pena Boulevard that would have carried a new commuter train line from downtown Denver. Airport officials said yesterday they will save at least $20 million by letting the Regional Transportation District build a basic bridge instead. Calatrava’s vision was for the bridge to be an iconic gateway to the city for travelers, but the airport has said it won’t build what it can’t afford.

Gunfire, ballot thefts plague Nigeria state races
Gunmen fired Kalashnikov rifles in the air and others brandished machetes while storming a polling place yestrday, as voters in Africa’s most populous nation struggled to cast ballots for gubernatorial elections after the presidential election sparked riots killing at least 500 people last week. The attackers made off with the yetto-be-voted ballots, the ballot box and the youth volunteer in charge of this village’s election in Akwa Ibom state, witnesses told The Associated Press
Sin no more (in the eyes of the law)
The crime of adultery appears headed
toward repeal in Colorado, where lawmakers from both parties call the crime an outdated 19th-century holdover junking up the books. Adultery carries no criminal penalty, though it remains illegal. The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 6-1 yesterday to repeal the old crime, as well as a law against “promoting sexual immorality.” Colorado is one of a handful of states where adultery laws are still on the books. The repeal wouldn’t affect the role adultery plays in family law proceedings such as divorce settlements.
MSC no more (now CMU)
Trustees at Mesa State College in Grand Junction have voted to change the school’s name to Colorado Mesa University. The Daily Sentinel reports that a bill that would authorize the name change is expected to be considered in the current legislative session. The trustees’ vote yesterday followed focus groups, a teleconference and surveys on a new name for the school. The trustees said they wanted a name that would help raise awareness of the school’s location.

Donnie Wahlberg’s Twitter skills have helped find a kidney for an ailing fan from Nashville, Tenn. The New Kids on the Block bad boy singer tells the Boston Herald one of his 183,000 followers on Twitter retweeted a blog about a fan who urgently needed a kidney transplant. Wahlberg has more than 30,000 tweets. He retweeted the kidney plea in December and asked for help for Bobbette Miller. The Herald reports the request prompted a slew of calls to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center and one of the callers was a match. Miller now is scheduled for a June transplant. Wahlberg calls the success a team effort. The Boston native says it proves how valuable Twitter can be.
Phoebe Snow, ‘Poetry Man’ singer passes
It wasn’t long after the release of “Poetry Man,” the breezy, jazzy love song that would make Phoebe Snow a star, that the singer experienced another event that would dramatically alter her life. In 1975, she gave birth to a daughter, Valerie Rose, who was found to be severely brain-damaged. Her husband split from her soon after the baby was born. And, at a time when many disabled children were sent to institutions, Snow de-
[From page 1]
cided to keep her daughter at home and care for the child herself. The decision to be Valerie’s primary caretaker would lead her to abandon music for a while and enter into ill-fated business decisions in the quest to stay solvent enough to take care of Valerie. Snow, who worked her way back into the music performing world in the 1980s and continued to perform in recent years, died on yesterday from complications of a brain hemorrhage she suffered in January 2010, said Rick Miramontez, her longtime friend and public relations representative. She was 60.
CU to vie for solar observatory
In an announcement yesterday the University of Colorado and the University of Alabama-Huntsville have been named the two finalists for the location of the headquarters of the National Solar Observatory. The headquarters will serve as the principal science and data analysis center for the organization, which has the world’s largest collection of solar telescopes and instruments designed to detect the sun’s minute details. Colorado Sen. Mark Udall says the site would provide jobs for up to 70 scientists, engineers and staff. He said with Colorado’s 300 days of sunshine, there’s no better place to host the observatory. The observatory currently has offices in Arizona and New Mexico, but those will shut down after a new solar telescope in Hawaii is complete and the new location is decided.

Rockies beat Cubs 4-3 in Chicago
Todd Helton hit two home runs and the Colorado Rockies beat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 last night. Jorge De La Rosa (4-0) allowed one earned run in seven innings and Huston Street gave up a solo homer to Alfonso Soriano leading off the ninth before closing out the Cubs for his ninth straight save to start the season. James Russell (1-3) gave up four runs, five hits and four walks in four innings. Ty Wigginton had three hits for Colorado, including a homer and a double. Troy Tulowitzki added two hits and an RBI double in the third. At 16-7, the Rockies have the best 23-game start in team history. Helton’s homer to right field in the first inning landed only a few rows behind the ivy, aided by the wind. In the fifth, though, he hit a long no-doubter out to center. It was the 27th career multihomer game for Helton and his first since Aug. 7, 2007. against Milwaukee. Tulowitzki let a grounder by Geovany Soto skip under his glove, letting the Cubs take a 2-1 lead in the first. Earlier, Jeff Baker hit a two-out single to tie it.
Woods has knee injury, will miss a few weeks
Tiger Woods has a minor injury to his left knee and Achilles’ tendon that will keep him out of the Wells Fargo Championship next week, raising more questions that his health might be the biggest obstacle in his chase of Jack Nicklaus’ record. Woods said on his website yesterday that he hurt himself hitting a shot during the third round of the Masters. It’s the fourth time he has missed a tournament because of his left knee. Woods did not say when he might return, but he hopes to be back in a few weeks. “This is precautionary. We’re not at all concerned,” said Mark Steinberg, his agent at IMG. “He’s just listening to his doctors, which is kind of nice. He certainly didn’t listen to them before the U.S. Open in 2008.” Woods won that U.S. Open in a playoff for his 14th major. He hasn’t won a major since then, leaving him four behind the record 18 professional majors
ATHLETIC STUFF
won by Nicklaus. Steinberg said Woods has been in a protective boot when he’s moving around and has not hit a shot since the Masters. He said Woods considered playing the Wells Fargo until yesterday. His health is becoming an issue with each year. Woods already has had four operations on his left knee, dating to his freshman year at Stanford to remove two benign tumors and scar issues. His most recent surgery was after winning the U.S. Open in 2008, and he wound up missing the next eight months after his left knee was rebuilt. Woods, who has fallen to a No. 6 world ranking, has not won since the Australian Masters in November 2009, the longest drought of his career. Eleven majors have been played since he last won, the longest he has gone without winning. Steinberg said there was a “reasonable chance” Woods will be at The Players Championship.
No rules, just uncertainty in NFL
Lockout has turned into limbo for NFL players and owners, and everyone is stuck there for the time being. “It drives me insane, that’s what it does,” said Chicago rookie J’Marcus Webb, who was told he and a handful of other Bears couldn’t use the team’s weight room yesterday. “I’m trying to eat healthy and work out, do my job and right now I’m just stuck at home working out and watching cartoons all day. “What’s up with that? Let me get back to what I do best.” That could take a while. The 2011 season, and the business between 32 teams and their thousands of anxious players, is in a holding pattern. With more court fights and appeals expected, the NFL said it needed “a few days to sort this out” and provide some rules for everyone to follow. “We are in the process of determining throughout the league as to just how we’ll proceed and when we’ll open the new year across the league, the new football year,” Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. “We have not done that.” At least the draft will be held this week, even if free agency and personnel swaps are up in the air. In one of the oddest days in NFL history, players showed up at their team headquarters and most were told that they were welcome to come inside as

long as they didn’t participate in any sort of “football activities.” Most left in a matter of minutes with more questions than answers about where the $9 billion business is headed. And there was no consistency — some teams allowed players to work out (Giants) while others turned them away altogether (Bills). No rules, not yet. Just uncertainty.
Caesars CEO: Poker indictments present opportunity Federal indictments targeting the three largest online poker companies present an opportunity for the United States to
fully legalize and regulate the $6 billion industry, the chief executive of the world’s largest casino company said yesterday. Caesars Entertainment Corp. CEO Gary Loveman said in an opinion piece yesterday on CNNmoney.com that the legal actions against PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and Absolute Poker won’t change whether millions of Americans want to play online poker. “Instead, the question is this: Should we seize the moment to legalize online poker, permit a safe and legitimate industry in the U.S., and bring these jobs and revenues home?” Loveman said. “Unequivocally, the answer is yes.” The indictments of 11 people accuse the online poker operators of fraud and money laundering to trick banks into processing funds for illegal gambling.

Joakim Noah added 14 points and eight rebounds, and the Bulls won a playoff series for the first time since they swept Miami in the first round in 2007 even though Carlos Boozer scored just two. Danny Granger scored 20 for the Pacers. Tyler Hansbrough added 14 points and 11 rebounds, but the Pacers trailed the entire way and committed 21 turnovers. The Pacers had just scored seven straight to pull within 61-57 midway through the third when Rose and the Bulls put them away.

Bulls advance by pounding Pacers
Derrick Rose scored 25 points, Luol Deng added 24 and the Chicago Bulls finally played like a top seed, knocking off the Indiana Pacers 116-89 in Game 5 to wrap up their first-round playoff series last night. The top-seeded Bulls can breathe a little easier after getting a dominant performance by their MVP candidate and an emphatic win that came on the heels of four dramatic games. They can also turn their attention to the Eastern Conference semifinals, where they’ll meet Atlanta or Orlando. Rose seemed just fine after spraining his left ankle in Game 4, hitting 8 of 17 shots. He dominated in the early going and came up big in the third after the Pacers pulled within four. He scored 10 points over the final six minutes, and Chicago ended the quarter on a 23-8 run to blow the game open. The Bulls hit 14 of 31 3-pointers, including five by Keith Bogans (15 points) and three each by Deng and Rose. Deng also had seven assists and six rebounds.
Get an "Egg"cellent smile!
Jason Richardson scored 17 points and J.J. Redick added 14 to help the Orlando Magic stay alive in the playoffs with a 101-76 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on last night. The win kept alive the Magic’s hopes of becoming the ninth team in NBA history to win a playoff series after trailing 3-1. If they can win Game 6 tomarrow in Atlanta, they would host the decisive Game 7 on Saturday. Magic center Dwight Howard battled foul trouble throughout the night and had just one field goal, finishing with 8 points and 8 rebounds. Orlando didn’t need his offense, though, as it broke out of a series-long shooting slump with 11 3-pointers. Josh Smith scored 22 points to lead Atlanta, which shot below 40 percent for just the second time this series. The Magic cruised in the second half, allowing Howard to log his first extended rest of the series as their lead crept above 30 points early in the fourth quarter. They were able to coast, though, based on what they did much earlier in the game. Orlando put together easily its best half of the series in building a 58-35 halftime lead. Everyone was involved as the Magic, who led by as many as 24 points in the half, moved the ball in the half court to open up great looks from the perimeter. Following another cold start, Orlando picked things up in the second quarter and finished the half shooting 45 percent and 46 percent from beyond the arc (6 for 13).
Flyers roll past Sabres, into 2nd round
In a series that went the distance, Brian Boucher did the same in Game 7. Backed by a burst of early goals, Boucher gets another round to prove he’s the goalie who can lead the Flyers to their first Stanley Cup championship since 1975. Boucher stopped 26 shots and Philadelphia advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals with a 5-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres in Game 7 of their first-round series last night. “There’s going to be days when things don’t go your way,” Boucher said, “But you have to play through it.” No one did it quite like Boucher. He was the Game 1 backup, won Games 2 and 6 in relief, and, when swapping goalies became the flavor of the series, was the last winner standing.

SNOWBALL –––––––------------------ [From page 5] Fourth of July celebration, Police Chief Bob Ticer said 48 arrests were made during Snowball, compared to just one during last year’s fireworks show. However, Ticer noted the two events should not be held as equals. “It is definitely a different crowd dynamic than the Fourth of July,” Ticer said. “To be frank, other than the arrests we had, the individuals we dealt with were well-behaved.” As for the music fans who pumped money into Avon, even after one year, Donnelly said Snowball already attracts the sort of grassroots following vital for a music festival: last week, 500 heavily discounted tickets went on sale through the official website and sold out within several hours. Nottingham still an issue Nottingham Park, located just steps from the Avon municipal building and surrounded by several condo complexes, has become the crux of the most potentially costly argument against the future of the Snowball.

wants to be reimbursed for $1,786 it spent on security, parking, and other services during the event. The president of BBCOA, Stephen Wood, spoke briefly last night to the council. The council made no public announcement of their intention to reimburse Beaver Bench, but Wood expects representatives from other homeowners associations to come forward in the next few weeks and make similar requests from the
town. “We’ve cooperated on other issues in the past, such as the booting ordinance a couple of years ago,” Wood wrote in an email after the meeting. “While the Beaver Bench’s $1,786 dollars probably isn’t enough (to) warrant hiring an attorney, a combined total from all HOAs probably would be.” Both Donnelly and Stoughton said they will use feedback from businesses and residents to improve next year. Several people, including Wood, said reimbursement for Avon homeowners should be built into the event’s budget. In any case, the Snowball name is largely solidified. Stoughton predicts 2012 could attract nearly 15,000 attendees. “Wherever we go from here, this event will be remembered in a very positive way by almost everyone involved: the community, the business owners, and the entire Colorado music scene,” Stoughton said. “We want to put this festival on the map and make it something that can be successful in the long term.”
