Steadman eyes expansion By Phil Lindeman Mountaineer Staff Writer The Steadman Clinic, an orthopedic center in Vail Village known for treating Olympians and professional athletes from across the globe, wants to double in size over the next 10 years. Before doing so, it needs the “capacity to handle world-renown physicians who want to come to Vail,” according to a PowerPoint presentation from the clinic and Vail Valley Medical Center. Lyon Steadman, CEO of the clinic,
Renowned center will present ideas for collaboration to Vail
and Doris Kirchner, CEO of VVMC, will expand on the slides tonight during the Vail Town Council meeting. Along with an overview of the clinic’s proposed growth, the joint presentation will address what, if any, role the town plays in future expansion. A key way the clinic aims to grow is by
attracting more “medical tourists” to its roster of all-star clientele. According to the presentation materials, medical tourism includes not only visiting patients, but also physicians and professionals in town for conferences, meetings, and trainings. The lucrative draw of medical tour-
ism is an intriguing prospect for Vail, and has been tossed around at previous town council meetings as a solution to off-season woes. In 2009, the town and VVMC hired an outside firm to study the impact visitors, or “destination patients,” had on the local economy. Using numbers from 2008, the study found such patients make up roughly half of the 40,000 total visitors to the hospital, and spend $3 million annually on lodging, food, and shopping while being treated.

Hideout raises questions
Osama bin Laden made his final stand in a small Pakistani city where three army regiments with thousands of soldiers are based not far from the capital — a location that is increasing suspicions in Washington that Islamabad may have been sheltering him. The U.S. acted alone in yesterday’s helicopter raid, did not inform Pakistan until it was over and pointedly did not thank Pakistan at the end of a wildly successful operation. All this suggests more strain ahead in a relationship that was already suffering because of U.S. accusations that the Pakistanis are supporting Afghan militants and Pakistani anger over American drone attacks and spy activity.

LETTERS
Letter: Snowball a great surprise EDITORS NOTE - This letter references a letter to the editor published in the Vail Daily, in which Avon resident Carole Warren criticized the Snowball festival, and pointed to the death of a festival attendee, who was killed by a drunken driver.
It’s unfortunate that someone was hit by a car and killed 10 miles from the Snowball Festival. Laying that at the doorstep of the festival is not fair. I take exception with Carole Warren’s assessment that “Festivals, such as Snowball, only encourage criminal and self destructive behavior.� The “only� part really bothers me. As a professional driver that chauffeured perhaps 250 people to and from the event, I have never been treated with more generosity and good manners from any event in 30 years of driving for a living. I have dealt with rude, offensive behavior on a regular basis over the years; but not at the Snowball. That surprised me in a major good way. What made the event so successful in my view was the day long, night long nature of the event. This mitigated the sense of hurry for most people. People were more patient getting there. They were also more patient getting home. The organizers pulled off the most amazingly efficient traffic control I have
ever seen at a major event. How did they do it? Pedestrians weren’t allowed to stop car traffic for minutes at a time. Instead of gridlock for motorists, the concert attendees were safely guided through traffic several at a time. Neither cars nor pedestrians had to wait more than a few seconds at a time. It was brilliant. My hat is off to the Snowball organizers. Other events could learn a lot from the way they delivered. The vast majority of the attendees chose to enjoy the event responsibly and hire a limo driver, taxi or take the bus. The 200 people I dealt with weren’t criminals and they didn’t destroy anything. They were polite, spent a ton of money here and it had nothing to do with skiing. That’s a very good thing! They traveled from New York, Chicago and L.A. I doubt the Ritz or Four Seasons benefited that much from the event but any lodging from low to mid priced made bank on the Snowball. I drove attendees from the Racket Club 10 miles away and Eagle hotels 20 miles away and all points in between. If every restaurant, lodge and store asked “did you come here because of the festival,� I wonder what percentage of their business could be directly attributed to Snowball? Next year they should keep track to see the difference. I doubled my weekend average.
The economic impact was staggering to me personally. The Snowball windfall was enough to buy a new guitar, a luxury in this day and age. Instead of buying it on-line, I bought mine at Minturn Music and kept the money in our community. Just think if everyone did that? I used the internet to research price, then I bought local. I consider that really important for our future. No merchant here wants to be beat out by price alone. Even if the internet price isn’t matched, often the merchant will throw in extras that make their deal even better. Such was the case down at Minturn Music. Shawn took my old guitar in trade, something an internet store could not do. I got a great deal on my new guitar, and he had my old one sold in a couple days. They restrung my guitar strings the next time at no extra charge. Try to get that on-line and tell me how you make out. It’s worth buying local. I say bring back the Snowball festival, the economic benefits are staggering and out weigh the down side. I want to personally thank the organizers and the attendees for the best weekend I’ve ever had. All of you delivered beyond what I expected. Kudos. Dave Kraft

Colo. leaders react to the killing of Osama bin Laden Local political leaders reacted with joy and praise at the news of Osama bin Laden’s death Sunday nigth. There also were calls for more vigilance, saying the war on terror is not over, and pleas to remember the victims of Sept. 11, 2001 the terrorist attack that bin Laden orchestrated. U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn (RColo.) said with bin Laden’s death “justice has now been served.� “For nearly a decade, America has sought to bring justice to the man responsible for the death of thousands of innocent Americans on Sept. 11, 2001,� Lamborn stated in a release. “Justice has now been served to Osama bin Laden. This is a major victory for our troops and intelligence community who
have worked valiantly to make this day possible. I give credit to President Barack Obama for staying the course set by his predecessor, George W. Bush, in doggedly pursuing an evil villain.� The Congressman added that bin Laden’s death sends a message. “His death tells the world that freedom is a far greater force than fear and oppression,� Lamborn said. “We will not relent in our fight to keep Americans safe and secure.� U.S. Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) said bin Laden’s death is a major milestone. “Thousands of American men and women have fought and died to defeat the terrorists led by Osama bin Laden who attacked our nation on Sept. 11, 2001,� Udall said. “The

Decade-long hunt led to intelligence last August
By Matt Apuzzo Special to the Mountaineer When one of Osama bin Laden’s most trusted aides picked up the phone last year, he unknowingly led U.S. pursuers to the doorstep of his boss, the world’s most wanted terrorist. That phone call, recounted Sunday by a U.S. official, ended a years-long search for bin Laden’s personal courier, the key break in a worldwide manhunt. The courier, in turn, led U.S. intelligence to a walled compound in northeast Pakistan, where a team of Navy SEALs shot bin Laden to death. The violent final minutes were the culmination of years of intelligence work. In a secret CIA prison in Eastern Europe years ago, al-Qaida’s No. 3 leader, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, gave authorities the nicknames of several of bin Laden’s couriers, four former U.S. intelligence officials said. Those names were among thousands of leads the CIA was pursuing. One man became a particular interest for the agency when another detainee, Abu Faraj al-Libi, told interrogators that when he was promoted to succeed Mohammed as al-Qaida’s operational leader he received the word through a courier. Only bin Laden would have given al-Libi that promotion, CIA officials believed. If they could find that courier, they’d find bin Laden. It took years of work for intelligence agencies to identify the courier’s real name, which officials are not disclosing. When they did identify him, he was nowhere to be found. The CIA’s sources didn’t know where he was hiding. Bin Laden was famously insistent that no phones or computers be used near him, so the eavesdroppers at the National Security Agency kept coming up cold. Then in the middle of last year, the courier had a telephone conversation with someone who was being monitored by U.S. intelligence, according to an American official, who like others interviewed for this
story spoke only on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive operation. The courier was located somewhere away from bin Laden’s hideout when he had the discussion, but it was enough to help intelligence officials locate and watch him. In August 2010, the courier unknowingly led authorities to a compound in the northeast Pakistani town of Abbottabad, where al-Libi had once lived. The walls surrounding the property were as high as 18 feet and topped with barbed wire. Intelligence officials had known about the house for years, but they always suspected that bin Laden would be surrounded by heavily armed security guards. Nobody patrolled the compound in Abbottabad. In fact, nobody came or went. And no telephone or Internet lines ran from the compound. The CIA soon believed that bin Laden was hiding in plain sight, in a hideout especially built to go unnoticed. But since bin Laden never traveled and nobody could get onto the compound without passing through two security gates, there was no way to be sure. By mid-February, officials were convinced a “high-value target” was hiding in the compound. President Barack Obama wanted to take action. Options were limited. The compound was in a residential neighborhood in a sovereign country. If Obama ordered an airstrike and bin Laden was not in the compound, it would be a huge diplomatic problem. Even if Obama was right, obliterating the compound might make it nearly impossible to confirm bin Laden’s death. Obama tapped two dozen members of the Navy’s elite SEAL Team Six to carry out a raid with surgical accuracy. Officially, it was a kill-or-capture mission, since the U.S. doesn’t kill unarmed people trying to surrender. But it was clear from the beginning that whoever was behind those walls had no intention of surrendering, two U.S. officials said.

Two helicopters lowered into the compound, dropping the SEALs behind the walls. No shots were fired, but shortly after the team hit the ground, one of the helicopters came crashing down and rolled onto its side for reasons the government has yet to explain. None of the SEALs was injured, however, and the mission continued uninterrupted. Thanks to sophisticated satellite monitoring, U.S. forces knew they’d likely find bin Laden’s family on the second and third floors of one of the buildings on the property, officials said. The SEALs secured the rest of the property first, then proceeded to the room where bin Laden was hiding. A firefight ensued, Brennan said. The SEALs killed bin Laden with a bullet to the head. Using the call sign for his visual identification, one of the soldiers communicated that “Geronimo” had been killed in action, according to a U.S. official. Bin Laden’s body was immediately identifiable, but the U.S. also conducted DNA testing that identified him with near 100 percent certainty, senior administration officials said. Photo analysis by the CIA, confirmation on site by a woman believed to be bin Laden’s wife, who was wounded, and matching physical features such as bin Laden’s height all helped confirm the identification. At the White House, there was no doubt. “I think the accomplishment that very brave personnel from the United States government were able to realize yesterday is a defining moment in the war against al-Qaida, the war on terrorism, by decapitating the head of the snake known as al-Qaida,” Brennan said. U.S. forces searched the compound and flew away with documents, hard drives and DVDs that could provide valuable intelligence about al-Qaida, a U.S. official said. The entire operation took about 40 minutes, officials said. Said the president: “I think we can all agree this is a good day for America.” —This story appears courtesy The Associated Press

Students raise funds for Japan $ Gypsum third-graders bring in $325 for relief efforts Third-graders at Gypsum Elementary School (GES) were studying natural disasters through their science unit when the devastating earthquake and tsunami hit Japan. After the 8.9 magnitude tremor struck and the damage was assessed, the third-grade teachers at GES decided to inform and educate students about what happened and put together a fundraiser for the people and animals in Japan. “Our students were humbled and silenced once they heard about the natural disaster in Japan,” said Heather Marner, a third grade teacher at GES. “They immediately questioned if such a disaster could occur here and were shown pictures from Japan for students to discuss the devastation relative to the size of our town.” After researching the Japan natural disaster, students wrote three paragraph speeches to present to their fellow classmates. The speeches included information about the current event, the scientific explanation about what happened and a persuasive plea for donations. Each classroom teacher signed up for the students to present their speech to the classroom. “The presentations were optional but all of the students wanted to be leaders and make a difference,” Marner said. “The students have put a lot of time and effort into their presentations.” With collection envelopes in hand, students raised over $325 to donate to Save the Children fund and GlobalAnimal.org.

“We care about people... not just teeth.” Madison Stump, Olivia Russell and Nayely Varela presented their speeches to students at Gypsum Elementary School. GES photo.
As a final culmination to the unit on natural disasters, the students spoke with a Japanese woman, Akiko, whose family still lives in Sendai, Japan via Skype. “My family have endured hundreds of earthquakes every day, and are so afraid of another big one that they sleep in clothes instead of pajamas,” Akiko said. “Kids are being sent to live with relatives and attend school elsewhere while adults clean up and rebuild.” Throughout the discussions and speeches, students became concerned about the animals in Japan and decided to change the original recipient of the funds from the
Red Cross to Save the Children and GlobalAnimal.org. “The students chose GlobalAnimal.org because they were very concerned about the animals that were displaced after the horrendous disaster,” Marner said. Save the Children fund donations are used exclusively to help provide disaster relief and support for Japanese children by providing immediate relief and restoring education and child care in Japanese communities in the future. For more information on the student’s efforts, contact Heather Marner at heather.marner@eagleschools.net or (970)328-8940.

THE UPDATE the al-Qaida leader. “This is the fate that evil killers deserve,� said outgoing Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri, deploring the harm that bin Laden did to “the image of Islam and Arab causes.� French President Nicolas Sarkozy hailed “the tenacity of the United States� in its hunt for the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks. Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi called his death a “great result in the fight against evil.� In Afghanistan, where bin Laden was given refuge by the country’s previous Taliban rulers, local officials erupted in applause when President Hamid Karzai told them the news. The Vatican said Christians could never rejoice about the death of any human being. But spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said bin Laden was responsible for having caused the deaths of countless innocents and for having used religion to spread “division and hatred among people.� In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called bin Laden’s death “a resounding victory for justice, for freedom and for the shared values of all democratic countries that fight shoulder to shoulder against terror.�

Canadians voted yesterday in an election marked by a late leftward surge in opinion polls that could once again deny Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper a majority in Parliament and perhaps even end his five years in power. Harper, who took office in 2006, has won two elections but never with a majority of Parliament’s 308 seats, forcing him to rely on the opposition to pass legislation. Until last week, most polls indicated Canadian voters would give the Conservative government at least another minority mandate and perhaps even a majority. But recent polls show a late surge for the New Democratic Party, making it one of the country’s most unpredictable elections in recent memory.

Mourners demand revenge in Libya
Libyans shouting for revenge buried Moammar Gadhafi’s second youngest son to the thundering sound of anti-aircraft fire yesterday, as South Africa warned that the NATO bombing that killed him would only bring more violence. Libya’s leader did not attend the tumultuous funeral of 29-year-old Seif al-Arab, but older brothers Seif al-Islam and Mohammed paid their respects, thronged by a crowd of several thousand. Jostling to get closer to the coffin, draped with a green Libyan flag, mourners flashed victory signs and chanted “Revenge, revenge for you, Libya.�
Obama honors two Army privates killed in Korean War
During a somber ceremony yesterday in the White House East Room, Obama bestowed the Medal of Honor posthumously on two Army privates — Anthony T. Kaho’ohanohano of Pukalani, Hawaii, and Henry Svehla of Belleville, N.J. who six decades earlier had given their lives in the Korean War. Kaho’ohanohano was in charge of a machine-gun squad with Company H, 17th Infrantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division on Sept. 1, 1951, when they were overrun by enemy forces. He ordered the squad to fall back and seek cover, then gathered
up some grenades and fought the enemy alone. When his ammunition ran out, he fought them handto-hand until he was killed. Svehla, a rifleman with Company F, 32nd Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division, charged enemy positions when his platoon began to falter under heavy fire on June 12, 1952. He destroyed enemy positions and inflicted heavy casualties, but when an enemy grenade landed among a group of his comrades, he threw himself on the grenade and was fatally wounded.
Chrysler turns first profit since bankruptcy
For the first time in nearly seven years, Detroit’s car companies are all making money. Chrysler, the last of the three to return to profitability, said yesterday it earned $116 million in the first quarter on revenue of $13.1 billion. The company, which emerged from bankruptcy protection a little less than two years ago, hadn’t reported net income since 2006. General Motors Co., which also went into bankruptcy in 2009 and took billions in government aid, has reported four profitable quarters and held an initial public offering in November to help repay its loans. Ford Motor Co., which didn’t take bailout money but nearly filed for bankruptcy five years ago, recorded its eighth consecutive quarterly profit last week. Ford’s 2010 profit of $6.6 billion was the highest in a decade.

Southwest Airlines Co. closed its $1 billion purchase of AirTran yesterday, securing its spot as one of the biggest U.S. airlines and extending its reach beyond U.S. borders. For Southwest and AirTran customers, nothing much changes right away. There will be separate websites, frequent-flier programs and bag-fee policies. By buying AirTran Holdings Inc., Southwest gains its first presence in Atlanta and at Reagan National Airport in Washington, plus additional gates at New York’s LaGuardia Airport. Southwest pilots hope AirTran’s strength in the Southeast and flights to Mexico and the Caribbean will allow the company to grow, providing job security.
Exploring group checkups for diabetes, Parkinson’s
Group appointments aren’t just for psychotherapy anymore. Put diabetes, high blood pressure and maybe even Parkinson’s disease on the list. Shared checkups aim to help patients who are battling certain chronic diseases, and they’re far from the typical 15-minute office visit. They’re stretched over 90 minutes or even two hours, offering more time to quiz the doctor about concerns, learn about managing the disease — and get tips from fellow patients. “I can see if you’re getting worse over the course of the visit, your ability to eat, to walk, to converse and to think,� says Dr. Ray Dorsey, who led a pilot study of group checkups for Parkinson’s patients at
the University of Rochester Medical Center.
Ancient ‘Nutcracker Man’ really ate grass
It turns out that the early human known as Paranthropus boisei, or “Nutcracker Man,� did not eat nuts but dined more heavily on grasses than any other human ancestor or human relative studied to date. The new report, by Thure E. Cerling of the University of Utah and colleagues, is published in today’s edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The study “reminds us that in paleontology, things are not always as they seem,� commented Peter S. Ungar, chairman of anthropology at the University of Arkansas. Added co-author Matt Sponheimer of the University of Colorado: “Frankly, we didn’t expect to find the primate equivalent of a cow dangling from a remote twig of our family tree.�
Colorado pot bill gets workover after fed warning
Colorado lawmakers are reducing the permitted size of medical marijuana growing operations following a federal warning that it’s still a violation of federal to grow and possess marijuana. The Senate Judiciary Committee approved a bill yesterday that changes rules for how the drug can be grown and sold. Changes included the number of plants that can be grown and cutting back on laws banning industry employees from having felony records. Last week, the top federal prosecutor in Colorado sent a letter to legislators saying pot regulations could put growers at risk of federal prosecution.

A painting of President Barack Obama is now hanging in the gallery of presidential portraits at the Colorado Capitol. The portrait was unveiled yesterday and will be displayed in the upper rotunda, along with the portraits of the nation’s 43 previous presidents. The work was done by Colorado painter, Sarah Boardman, and paid for by private funding. She received a $10,000 commission for her work. The other portraits were painted by Lawrence Williams, who died in 2003.

Actor Charlie Sheen toured an Alabama neighborhood leveled by tornadoes and said yesterday he wants to organize a relief event for victims in the state. After going through the decimated Alberta City neighborhood in Tuscaloosa, Sheen told The Associated Press he was working with local officials to organize a benefit. “I want to bring some money, hope, faith and healing to the area,� said Sheen, the former star of the sitcom “Two and a Half Men.� Sheen spent the day in Tuscaloosa meeting with storm victims and first responders. He posed for photographs with police officers and National Guard soldiers, accompanied by one of his so-called goddesses — marijuana magazine model Natalie Kenly — and former major league baseball player Todd —Update stories, unless otherwise cited, Zeil

OSAMA
–––––––––-------------------
Perlmutter said. “The United States took out an enormous threat to the safety and security of our country. Osama Bin Laden was the leader and symbol of al Qaida and the architect of 9/11. Terrorism threats still remain, but Bin Laden’s death is a significant development against the war on terror and a huge blow to al Qaida. As President Obama said, we must continue to remain vigilant. I know our special operations forces, intelligence and homeland security community is prepared to handle threats to our security. I am proud of all of those who serve and protect our nation and their diligence, determination and unwavering courage in this ongoing battle against terrorism.” And U.S. Rep. Mark Coffman (RColo.) said bin Laden’s death does not mean the end of the war on terror. “This will bring closure to the attack on 9/11 but it will have nothing to do with ending the global war on terror,” Coffman said. “After 9/11, U.S. efforts to target the leadership of al Qaida caused Osama bin Laden to keep his head down, causing him to lose operational control of al Qaida, ending his ability to initiate attacks against the United States. At that point, al Qaida became more of a decentralized movement instead of a structured organization. However, since Osama bin Laden was seen as the spiritual leader of radical Islam, we should be prepared for stepped-up attacks against American targets as well as a strong reaction by Pakistani Islamic militants against their government for their cooperation.
STEADMAN
“Congratulations to our special operations personnel who conducted this successful mission.” Remembering victims of 9/11 House Democratic Leader Rep. Sal Pace (D-Pueblo) praised the president and those in uniform who took out bin Laden. He also pointed out the sacrifices made by service members and their families. “The Colorado National Guard has been on the front line in the war on terror,” Pace said. “Their families have made immense sacrifices over the past ten years. To those families, last night’s news is a confirmation that their sacrifices have made a difference.” Pace also said not to forget the victims of 9/11. “May we keep the victims of the 9/11 attacks forever in our hearts and minds, and pray every day for the safe return of all of our men and women serving our country overseas,” Pace said. Gov. John Hickenlooper echoed those remarks. “The death of Osama Bin Laden gives our nation another reason to remember and honor the thousands of Americans who were killed on 9/11,” Hickenlooper said. “We owe a debt of gratitude to our military and counterterrorism professionals for bringing to justice one of our nation’s greatest enemies. It’s hard not to feel a sense of relief and hope that we have turned an important corner in the struggle against terrorism.”
–––––-–-–----------------
The Steadman Clinic, which is affiliated with VVMC, was not included in the 2009 study, but numbers for 2011 claim 95 percent of all clients at the clinic are destination patients. The potential of passing further wealth on to the town is another major point of today’s presentation. As the clinic doubles in size, predictions show it could possibly double its overall economic impact, to $2 billion over 10 years. Along with surgery, the clinic is also home to the non-profit Steadman Philippon Research Institute, a branch founded in 1988 for research and education. In 2009 alone, SPRI pulled in over $4.33

million from sponsors and events. Although the clinic and VVMC operate offices throughout the Vail Valley and Summit County, the primary buildings for each are within town limits. Kelli McDonald, the economic development manager for Vail, said this evening’s presentation is the first public version of regular meetings between the town and clinic. “The town – and I’m sure the council would echo this – want to see the Vail Valley Medical Center and The Steadman Clinic stay Vail-centric,” McDonald said. “There is dialogue going on to make sure that happens.”
