Eagle County BMX is back By Brian Alexander Mountaineer Staff Writer Don’t be fooled by the suspect and chilly weather outside, the start of the second Eagle County BMX season is here. Located in the town of Eagle, the American Bicycle Association (ABA) sanctioned track is dedicated to young and old BMX racing throughout the summer into the middle of October, and is the only BMX track between Denver and Grand Junction. The best thing about

Second season of youth racing starts tomorrow

BMX racing is it’s open to any boy or girl and man or woman who can ride a bike, from age two to 92. “We averaged about 45 racers per race in 2010,” said Jay Lucas of Eagle County BMX. “Some races were as big as 157 riders and others as little as 36.”

At Eagle County BMX, the racing season lasts all summer long with the cooperation of Mother Nature. The races are held Sunday afternoons around 1:30 p.m. and also weekly on Thursday evenings at about 6:30 p.m. throughout the summer.

Want to watch BMX racing but not compete in it? Don’t worry, spectators are always welcomed at the track for no cost. That’s right, you can enjoy great racing and hopefully some good weather all for the cost of free. “The racing is exciting to watch, the little kids are a blast to watch as they try as hard as they can. Parents live vicariously through their kids and you can hear that in their cheers,” said Lucas. “Our more experienced riders can fly over [See BMX, page 15]

Netanyahu differs with Obama

In a blunt display of differences, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the idea of using his country’s 1967 boundaries as the basis for a neighboring Palestinian state yesterday, declaring his objections faceto-face to President Barack Obama who had raised the idea just 24 hours earlier in an effort to revive stalled Mideast peace talks. “While Israel is prepared to make generous compromises for peace, it cannot go back to the 1967 lines,” Netanyahu declared. “These lines are indefensible.”

Riot breaks out at Calif. prison

Seven inmates were taken to outside hospitals after a riot at a maximum-security prison in California yesterday, including two inmates who were being treated for serious injuries, prison officials said. The fight among about 150 inmates at an outdoor recreation yard was broken up after guards fired a warning shot and used pepper spray at California State Prison, Sacramento, about 20 miles east of the state capital.

Young boys and girls in the valley will get a chance to live a daydream this afternoon. The Bookworm bookstore in the Edwards Riverwalk is hosting a children’s book reading at 2:30 p.m., where officials from local police and fire departments will be present with a cop cruiser and a fully functioning fire truck. Officers from the Avon Police Department will read “Police officers on patrol” by Kersten Hamilton, and Eagle River Fire Protection District Chief Charlie Moore will read Mark Teague’s “Firehouse!” The officials will also provide tours of the vehicles. The party is the masculine answer to the bookstore’s March “Princess party,” children’s book specialist Adrienne Young said yesterday, but that doesn’t mean sisters and daughters aren’t welcome. “It’s gonna be a great party,” Hamilton said. “And everyone’s invited, boys and girls.” The event will most likely appeal to children aged 2-12, Hamilton said.

Gypsum’s Urgent-Emergent Care Center has now been open for a full year. To celebrate this milestone, the clinic announced yesterday it will be tailoring the hours of operation to more closely meet the needs of the community. Effective May 30, the care center will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. “We are celebrating our first year of service and we want to thank all of those who have taken advantage of our community healthcare service,” said Doris Kirchner, President and CEO of the Vail Valley Medical Center. “The new hours of operation reflect the usage patterns of our patients and allows us to better assemble our staff resources to best meet the needs of our community,” The level five trauma center offers emergency services in conjunction with urgent care walk-ins and is an ambulance receiving facility. In addition to helping the community with cuts, bruises and infections, they are also proud to have assisted in the successful treatment of both strokes and heart attacks. The care center provides urgent and emer-

gent care that residents can count on seven days a week, 360 days of the year. “Health care is not good unless you can get to it,” said Dr. Laurence Brooks, the board certified emergency physician at Gypsum Urgent-Emergent Care and 2010 VVMC physician of the year. “If the nearest emergency care is 30-40 miles away, that can impact a patient’s recovery so the addition of Gypsum Urgent-Emergent Care to the community is very important.” The care center, which has nearly everything that a hospital emergency department has, is staffed with an emergency physician, two

emergency level nurses, an imaging technologist (x-rays) and a lab. The care center will extend hours of operation during the Fourth of July holiday Friday through Monday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Additionaly, hours will be extended during Gypsum Days from 9 a.m. to 12 a.m. to accommodate the influx of people and needs of the community.

Avon posts record March revenues Town took in $100k more in taxes than estimated By Phil Lindeman Mountaineer Staff Writer The month of March came in like a bona fide lion for Avon this year, with revenue from sales and accommodation taxes reaching the highest levels ever in a season full of broken records. At the 3:30 p.m. town council work session Tuesday, town officials will break down the numbers – including $665,000 in sales taxes, nearly $100,000 more than predicted – and give possible reasons for shattering records that span back to 1993. The town’s budget analyst, Kelly Huitt, claims snow of every form boosted March into the upper echelon. “We think a lot of the revenue

came from Snowball,” Huitt said, referring to the contested music festival. “It was also a strong month thanks to snowfall. The overall economy is coming back, and people were coming and staying in the town longer.” Avon’s strong numbers come after the town of Vail reported its own record-breaking revenues for December, which Vail officials largely credited to ski traffic. Traer Creek still bristles Also included in the budget review is an extensive look at the amount Traer Creek Metro District, the Magnus Lindholm-owned entity behind Walmart and Home Depot, owes the town. According to estimates, which in-

Insurance bill on Gov.’s desk Legislation would impose premiums on poor children By Debi Brazzale Colorado News Agency A measure imposing a monthly premium on health insurance for low-income children has reached Gov. John Hickenlooper’s desk yesterday for his stamp of approval — or a veto, if he heeds the call of some children’s advocacy groups. Republicans in both chambers overwhelmingly supported the proposal in the Legislature, casting it as a necessary step in budget balancing. However, it has divided Democrats, who are hearing vocal opposition from key constituent groups. The measure, Senate Bill 213, makes changes to the Colorado Children’s Health Plan, or CHP. The JBC members said they brought the bill forward as a reasonable costsaving measure to help balance a beleaguered budget. The $25 annual enrollment fee will continue to apply to families between 150 percent to 205 percent of the federal poverty level, but families with 205-250 percent of the poverty level — the maximum allowed for the program — will now pay a monthly fee. The proposed fee would be $20 for the first child and an additional $10 per month for each additional child up to a maximum of $50 per month. Annual income for an affected family of four

is approximately $40,000-56,000. The Colorado Children’s Campaign has been publicly asking for the governor to veto the measure, stating in a press release, “….fiscal analysis shows this policy will cost, not save, the state money. Furthermore, we know cost sharing of this kind causes kids who need coverage to drop out of the program and will add to the administrative burden for the state.” During Senate debate on the bill, Pat Steadman (D-Denver) told his Democratic colleagues — 13 of 21 Democrats wound up voting against the bill — that the imposition of a fee would have minimal effect on those families participating in the program. “This is not the entire universe of CHP enrollees,” said Steadman. “It’s families that are on the higher end of income thresholds.” Sen. Irene Aguilar (D-Denver) argued that the fee increase would not bring the promised savings because of projections that an estimated 20 percent of families would drop out of the program given the added cost. “We’ll end up with more children that are uninsured in our state. That means more children in emergency rooms,” said Aguilar. “This will end up costing us more than we would save.”

Similar arguments carried over to the House when the measure was considered there. “I fear that it will not bring the returns that we would hope, and it could really harm a lot of our families who cannot afford to pay these premiums,” said Rep. Su Ryden, (D-Aurora). Rep. Daniel Pabon (D-Denver) said the bill’s added strain on household budgets could hurt children, whose health care needs are not only a priority in Colorado but nationally as well. “As a public policy in the United States of America, we have decided that there are those amongst us who deserve protections … in this case it’s our children,” said Pabon. “This puts the onus of coverage for health care on them (the children) because their parents don’t have the ability to pay the premiums.” The measure garnered the full support of Senate and House Republicans, who all voted in favor of the proposal. Sen. Greg Brophy (R-Wray) said supporting the bipartisan budget committee’s proposal was not difficult for him. “This isn’t a hard decision to make,” said Brophy. “It’s time to move forward with the tough choices that we need to make to balance the budget.”

Vail Crush invited to tournament First boys team on the western slope to attend event The Vail Crush are putting valley soccer on the map, and at the same time making history for boys’ youth soccer in the area. The Vail Valley Soccer Club (VVSC) U15 Boys Soccer Team, Vail Crush, has received a wildcard invitation to participate in the Regional President’s Cup, taking place June 12-17 in West Jordan, Utah. The Vail Crush, which is coached by Vail Recreation District Sports Director Joel Rabinowitz, has had a tremendous season and the wildcard spot makes them the first boys team on the western slope to make it to the Regional President’s Cup. The team will be representing both Colorado and the Vail Valley Soccer Club during the regional match. According to Rabinowitz, the President’s Cup is designed to offer enhanced competition for non-elite youth soccer teams leading to state, regional and national championship titles. The winner in each gender/ age group (U13 – U17) is the official state champion and becomes the Colorado representative at the Regional Presidents Cup competition. For teams in the U14 through U17 age groups, National Presidents Cup Championship competition awaits those teams achieving a Regional Presidents Cup Championship, which the Vail Crush will play for in June. The Vail Crush team consists of players Kevan Aubel, Garret Cerny, Irving Daniel, Callan Deline, Roberto Diaz, Pedro Hernandez, Diego Martinez, Tomas Milmo, David Ortiz, Brandon Osorio, Alexis Robles, Diego Rodriguez, Alex Trujillo and Ryan Wood.

play to advance to the elimination phase of the tournament. During the semi-finals, Vail put forth an outstanding defensive performance in shutting out the Fort Collins Arsenal 2-0, setting up a matchup in the final with Real Olympico. The tournament final was the third meeting of the season between the two clubs. “It was an outstanding final as both teams had early opportunities to score but couldn’t find the back of the net,� said Rabinowitz. “Vail took a 1-0 lead right before halftime as Diaz found Rodriguez alone on the back post for a header and held the precarious 1-0 lead. Then, in the final three minutes, Real tied the score on direct kick goal and moments later seized that momentum and scored off a corner kick to take the 2-1 lead.�

Following the Olympico corner kick goal, Rabinowitz says a controversy ensued when Vail scored off another header as the whistle was being blown to end the game. Ultimately the referee determined that time had run out and the Vail team ended their season as state runner-up until they were offered the wildcard spot by the President’s Cup. “We are disappointed with the result and the referee’s decision at the end of the game,� said Vail Captain Diego “Frijolito� Moran. “But ultimately we didn’t execute at the end of the game and let them back in to it. It’s exciting to get the wildcard and still get to go to Utah. We look forward to making history there.� Rabinowitz said the team entered

When she forces him aboard the ship of the legendary pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack isn’t sure whom to fear more: Blackbeard or Angelica, with whom he shares a mysterious past. The epic adventure “Thor” spans the Marvel Universe from present-day Earth to the mystical realm of Asgard.

Colorado is back in the presidential race spotlight for 2012 with Vice President Joe Biden hosting the first major fundraiser in the state yesterday morning for President Barack Obama. The breakfast fundraiser for the president’s re-election campaign is indicative of the attention Colorado will be getting in the next 17 months or so, as Democrats and Republicans battle it out in one of the country’s few remaining purple states, political analysts said. On any given election, Colorado can be a tossup for either party because the state’s electorate is almost evenly split among Democrats, Republicans and independents. “It is very much the prototypical purple state,” said Kyle Saunders, an associate professor of political science at Colorado State University. The fundraiser was not open to the general public. Organizers said about 40 people were expected to attend and that donors paid between $1,500 and $35,800 per couple. After the fundraiser, Biden toured the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, where employees showed the vice president how they were creating silicon solar cells that form parts for solar panels designed to be more durable and

Both parties heavily courted Colorado’s nine electoral college votes in 2008, with candidates making frequent stops in the state leading up to the election. One of Obama’s rallies in downtown Denver was the largest of his campaign, drawing more than 100,000 people. In the end, Obama easily defeated Sen. John McCain in Colorado by 9 percentage points, becoming the first Democrat to take the state since former President Bill Clinton in 1992. But the state’s large independent base makes it difficult to predict whether it will swing red or blue. Last year, Republicans knocked off two Democratic congressional incumbents and took control of the state House for the first time since 2005. At the same time, Republicans lost the gubernatorial election and a close U.S. Senate race between Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet and challenger Ken Buck. Saunders said he expects both parties to funnel a lot of money to Colorado leading up to November 2012, and if the presidential race is competitive, it can make the state one of the places where Democrats and Republicans spend the most per voter. Palacio said Coloradoans can expect to see a long lineup of political heavy-hitters visiting the state. “I think definitely it’s going to be more of what we saw in 2008 and perhaps even more so than what we saw before,” he said. While Colorado does not have as many electorate votes as other states that tend to be considered in play, such as Florida with 29 or Ohio with 18, the state’s nine electoral votes are valued highly in close races, since large swaths of the country are already considered to lean Republican or Democrat. “Given how sliced up of the rest country is, nine electoral votes can make a lot of difference in the candidates’ fortunes,” said Seth Masket, an associate professor of political science at the University of Denver.

THE UPDATE

-----------------------------------------------------------

River has boatmen scared

Yesterday, the Mississippi at Vidalia looked more like a stormy ocean than a river. Whitecaps frothed under the bridge that connects the city to Natchez, Miss., and whirlpools churned across the channel. The high water brings with it a host of hazards. Debris is everywhere, and the unusually swift current makes it difficult for pilots to go upstream. Good luck stopping if you’re headed downstream. For those who make their living on the water, the river is a respected adversary in the best of times. Now it just plain frightens them.

Crew to take look at damaged tile

NASA ordered Endeavour’s crew to take an unusual close-up look at a damaged tile in the space shuttle’s delicate heat shield early this morning. Using the shuttle’s robotic arm, astronauts will scrutinize the gouge on the shuttle’s underbelly with a high resolution camera and a laser attached to a boom. “There’s nothing alarming here and we’re not really concerned,� said LeRoy Cain, chairman of the shuttle mission management team that decided yesterday to order

Police said he may have suffered a “medical event� before the accident, but the report did not elaborate, and it said officials would need

Pardon me, please

President Barack Obama yesterday pardoned eight people convicted of crimes ranging from conspiring to import marijuana to selling alligator hides. The action marked the second set of pardons Obama has granted since becoming president. The first pardons, last December, went to nine people whose crimes included possessing drugs, counterfeiting and mutilating coins. Like the earlier pardons, the latest did not involve anyone wellknown. The cases date back as far as 1975, when Randy Eugene Dyer of Burien, Wash., was sentenced to serve five years in prison in the conspiracy to import marijuana and two related crimes.

Ten indicted in Aspen cocaine ring

Federal prosecutors say they’ve broken up a major cocaine ring in Aspen. Colorado’s U.S. attorney’s office announced yesterday that 10 people have been charged — six from Aspen and four from Los Angeles. They’re accused of distributing more than five kilograms of cocaine in the Aspen area over the past year. All but one of the suspects has been arrested. The other nine re-

debut on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” the Fab Four boarded a train from New York for Washington, D.C., for their first U.S. concert. An enterprising 18-year-old Mike Mitchell was there, a press pass in hand, shooting photographs just feet away and even jumping onto the stage for the group’s brief pre-concert press call. Forty-seven years later, Mitchell has made 50 silver gelatin prints from his negatives of the event on Feb. 11, 1964 at Washington Coliseum and of the band’s Sept. 13, 1964 performance at the Baltimore Civic Center. He’s offering them for sale at Christie’s New York auction house on July 20. The total pre-sale estimate is $100,000; the images will be sold individually.

U2 is coming to Denver as it continues its 360 Degrees World Tour. The supergroup will play at Invesco Field today. It’s a makeup date for a concert canceled last June after the tour was stopped after Bono had to have emergency back surgery. All tickets purchased for last year’s show will be valid for today. All of the “360” shows feature the four-taloned “Claw” stage. The 390-ton, green cabana stands more than 10 stories above the band as they strut through the crowds on moving bridges and a ring-shaped stage with concertgoers inside and out.

A report by “60 Minutes� says George Hincapie, a longtime member of Lance Armstrong’s inner circle, has told federal authorities he saw the seven-time Tour de France winner use performanceenhancing drugs. A segment of the report aired yesterday night on the “CBS Evening News,� one day after it broadcast an interview with another former member of Armstrong’s U.S. Postal Service team, Tyler Hamilton, who said he also used PEDs with Armstrong. Hincapie has often been depicted as one of Armstrong’s most loyal teammates and was with him for all seven Tour victories. In an interview last year, Armstrong said Hincapie was “like a brother to me.� Hincapie is among a number of former Armstrong teammates and employees who have appeared before a federal grand jury in Los Angeles investigating doping in cycling. Hamilton said he testified for six hours before the panel. Armstrong has never tested positive and has steadfastly denied doping. Using unidentified sources, “60 Minutes� reported that Hincapie testified that he and Armstrong supplied each other with the endurance-boosting substance EPO and discussed having used another banned substance, testosterone, to prepare for races. Reached by The Associated Press at the Tour of California in Solvang, Hincapie said he didn’t want to talk about

you don’t have a helmet or the money to purchase one before tomorrow Eagle County BMX have loaner helmets for beginners to use. There are many positive impacts that BMX riding has on youth. It gives the kids a place to go after school and during the summer when they are looking to fill their time. The track is always open to the public and is free to use. “When kids start to love riding their bike at this age, they tend to become lifelong riders moving on to a healthy lifestyle of mountain bikes, road bikes etc.,� says Lucas. “The list of professional athletes that used to race BMX as kids is amazing, for instance Lance Armstrong raced BMX when he was a kid. Keeping kids focused can lead to big things.� Riding isn’t just for the kids as BMX can be a family affair, with most everyone knowing how to ride a bike, and to Lucas it’s no different. “The best part of BMX for me, is my family. If I ask them if they want to go to the track and ride, the answer is always “yes,� he said. “BMX is a family sport we all enjoy and participate in together, just like skiing together as a family.�

The Eagle Valley has nothing else like it.� Each rider is permitted one trial race, after which you must then purchase a one-month temporary or a $45 12-month full membership from the ABA to continue racing. These memberships can be purchased at Eagle County BMX. The cost to race is $10. Can’t make the first race but you’re sure you want to give BMX a shot, no problem, as you can join anytime at any race all summer long. All participants need to bring a bike to compete with. Any BMX type and size will do, but the folks at Eagle County BMX recommend that you start with a bike that has a 16� to 20� wheel diameter – as that is the allowable limit in the Novice class. You may race any bike with larger wheels in the Cruiser class. Bikes must remove kickstand, reflectors/brackets and any freestyle-type axle pegs in order to race. There are clothing and safety equipment requirements for all racers wanting to compete. They include a long sleeve shirt, pants or jeans, any enclosed shoe – skateboard style shoes are suggested – and a helmet. A full-face helmet is recommended, and if

–––––--------------------------------

ginally, since November 2007, total back sales taxes clock in at over $2.1 million – enough to fund a series of proposed transit improvements twice over. Lindholm and Traer Creek have sparred with the town in court for more than three years, beginning in May 2008, when the town council refused to hear plans for a new condo development north of the rodeo grounds on East Beaver Creek Blvd. Shortly after, the town responded with a lawsuit of its own, asking for payment on taxes, municipal ser-

vices, and road fees for the Traer Creek development. After a swath of retrials, appeals, and a ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court, Avon won the initial lawsuit in late April. The sales tax case goes to trial on Halloween and, according to District Court Judge Tom Moorhead, will be settled by Thanksgiving. If Avon wins, it stands to receive more than $3 million in back payments.

We have drawn Alaska, Idaho and Utah in pool play, this is a great opportunity for these boys to challenge themselves against higher level competition.” VVSC President Don Dressler says the VVSC is proud to be represented in the Regional President’s Cup by the Vail
