Dorf coming from Reno Lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same place, but shortly after our “Corporate greed” story ran on Wednesday, two of our advertisers were contacted by the Vail Daily’s home office in Reno regarding Internet advertising. It’s probably just a coincidence, and we couldn’t care less. What we do care about is the Internet and news. Diversions, diversions The Vail Daily’s corporate headquarters in Reno is sending Frank Dorf to town to convince local advertisers to throw their money down the black hole of Internet advertising. He’s their director of Internet sales. If Dorf contacts you or your business, ask him how spending money in print

advertising, which is diverted to building a Web site, which is dedicated to diverting eyes from your print ad, is a sensible diversion. Explain to Dorf that the best thing AP file photo of Dorf he could do for his creator Tim Conway parent company (but not for his department), would be for his news department to stop scooping the print edition every night before that print edition hits the street the next morning. Then consumers would read the print version advertisers paid for and see the ad you paid for, instead of competing with tens of millions of news blogs. Dorf won’t get it … we hope you do.

The Dow Jones industrial average is now up 21 percent from its March 9 low. Technically, a gain of more than 20 percent signals a bull market. The Dow rose 174.75, or 2.3 percent, at 7,924.56. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 18.98, or 2.3 percent, to 832.86. The Nasdaq composite index rose 58.05, or 3.8 percent, to 1,587.00.

Google losing

Google’s blog post explaining Friday’s sales and marketing cuts says the company appears to have been caught by surprise by its revenue slowdown. From that post: “We over-invested in some areas in preparation for the growth trends we were experiencing at the time.” Analysts say estimates for the company’s growth over the next couple of years are probably still too high, even after the cuts.

It’s a code green in Vail Vail could adopt new building standards in next 6 months By Beth Potter Mountaineer Staff Writer Folks in Vail said last year in a survey that housing, transportation and the environment are the most important issues to them. In response, town employees are now discussing “green building” standards that could be put to the public in the next few months, according to George Ruther, the town’s community development director. Such standards are expected to be discussed in conjunction with an updated international building code the town plans to put in place. “There could be multiple shades of green. That’s what we’re evaluating right now, is where does the town want to be in that process,” Ruther said. “Before we can determine that, we’ll be seeking input from the community and input from the town council.” Energy-saving appliances New rules could include energy-saving appliance requirements, more glazing for windows, higher standards for insulation and other related energy-saving measures, Ruther said. Some town council members have expressed support for new “green” standards. But some builders may feel that requiring energy-saving measures cost them more money, Ruther said. An Eagle Valley Home Builders Association representative was not available for comment on Wednesday afternoon. “We need to spend a fair amount of time with the building community and the community at large to know their interests on this,” Ruther said. “There can be misperceptions about what the green building code can be.” LEED-certified One thing’s for sure — Ruther is committed to keep-

A “green” home may cost 5 to 15 percent more to build, says Kyle Hoiland, president of the Eagle Valley Home Builders Association. For example: A $500,000 home has 2,000 square feet of livable area It has a R-38 insulation rating at the ceiling, R-19 at the exterior walls It has new wood siding and trim It has aluminum clad windows If the homeowner decides to upgrade with the following “green” items, it would cost as follows: Add BIBS Insulation: $3,000 (0.6 percent above construction costs) Add spray foam insulation to ceiling cavity: $2,000 (0.4 percent above construction costs) Add reclaimed wood siding or beetle kill pine siding: $5,000 (1 percent above construction costs) Add a 2.5 kilowatt solar photovoltaic system: $20,000 (4 percent above construction costs) Total percentage increase to the costs of construction in this scenario is about 6 percent. An owner could keep adding “green” items, like geothermal heating, sod roof systems, add more insulation to the exterior walls, underslab insulation, insulate the foundation walls and the percentage would increase incrementally, depending on the costs of the items. —Source: Kyle Hoiland

ing the development review time period the same for building plans no matter what additional rules are added. Working on the new rules could take up to seven months and include several public meetings, Ruther said. At the same time, four employees in Ruther’s department are now LEED-certified after passing a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, exam. The “green building” industry standard is sponsored by the nonprofit U.S. Green Building Council. As an example of how important “green building” standards have become, Vail Resorts’ new Ever Vail ski village project has applied for the highest LEED certification rating possible on its plan to redevelop land in West Lionshead, Ruther pointed out.

Hey Jude, take a good film festival and make it better By Beth Potter Mountaineer Staff Writer This just in: Jude Law is coming to town for the Vail Film Festival next weekend, according to JustJared. com, a popular celebrity watching Web site. “The 36-year-old British actor will be featured in the upcoming 6th Annual Vail Film Festival, hitting Colorado’s ski resort from April 2-5,” the Web site says. Law is in the documentary “The Day After Peace”, which imagines a worldwide “Day of Peace.” The Dalai Lama, former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan and Angelina Jolie also are featured in the documentary. Kevin Smith, the director and writer who hit it out of the ballpark with “Clerks,” will get the festival’s “renegade award.” Michelle Monaghan, actress in the newly released “Trucker,” and in “Mission Impossible III” and “Gone Baby Gone,” will receive the festival’s “excellence in acting award.” For more on the festival, go to vailfilmfestival.org.

Colorado reps back pro-union bill

1143 Capital Street, Eagle

By Randy Wyrick Mountaineer Staff Writer

All three members of Colorado’s Congressional delegation who represent Eagle County say they’ll vote to make it easier to unionize businesses. The Employee Free Choice Act would force companies to recognize unions when a majority of workers sign cards authorizing one. Under current law, corporations can require a secret-ballot election supervised by the National Labor Relations Board. Rep. Jared Polis and senators Mark Udall and Michael Bennett, all Democrats, have said they back the bill. Polis has signed on as a cosponsor in the House. His press secretary said he plans to support the bill. Bennett is also on board. “My focus right now is on the many decisions we must make to create good paying jobs, jumpstart

our economy and prepare our kids for the 21st Century,” said Bennett. “I will work with all interested parties to make the best decision for Colorado.”

It’s still debatable Whether the EFCA eliminates secret-ballot elections is a matter of debate. Advocates say the bill lets employees choose whether to use a so-called card-check process or secret ballots to organize. Opponents say that by instituting a union when a majority of cards have been collected, the bill would obviate any other method. Congressional Republicans unveiled an alternative, the Secret Ballot Protection Act, asserting that the EFCA would foster union coercion during organizing campaigns because the cards have to be signed publicly. The secret-ballot bill would not allow card-check elections under any circumstances. Many companies, including AT&T, have allowed

50/50

them voluntarily. Rep. John Kline, R-Minnesota and a co-sponsor of the secret-ballot bill, said that in order for a secret ballot to be used, there would have to be a parallel organizing campaign. “I cannot imagine a scenario where [card check] does not come about,” Kline said. So far, lawmakers have been too busy to deal with the ways unions manage to get themselves ratified. Even though it has been a top priority for organized labor, the EFCA has not yet been introduced. Business and labor groups are locked in a fierce and expensive battle over the bill. Corporate advocates say that it will raise the cost of doing business in the midst of a recession. Backers of the choice measure say that it will be an economic boon for workers. As more of them organize, they expect to gain leverage to increase pay and benefits.

Vail sales tax down 16 percent Mountaineer Staff Report

•Pre-heat & call •Bake at home

Vail sales tax revenues are expected to be down 16 percent in February from last year, according to the town sales tax administrator. Lower sales tax revenues in Vail mirror a countywide trend of lower tax collection figures. Town and county governments, including Vail’s, have made cuts in recent

months to reflect the lower revenue numbers. Revenues are down a little more than 10 percent from the town’s budgeted amount, Sally Lorton, Vail’s sales tax administrator, said in a memo released Wednesday. In total, sales tax collections are down a little more than 11 percent from November to February from the 2007-2008 ski season. February lift tax collections are

down 10.4 percent from February 2008. The tax, collected on skier and snowboarder numbers, had been holding its own until February — with ski industry watchers suggesting that the more than 59,000 Epic Pass ski pass holders could boost otherwise lackluster numbers. For the November to February time period, lift tax numbers are down 3.6 percent, Lorton said.

Crash closes I-70 in Glenwood Canyon Mountaineer Staff Report A two car crash occurred in the Glenwood Canyon near the Hanging Lake Tunnel, milepost 125 Thursday, shutting down the highway for approximately two hours. At approximately 7:10 a.m., a 1999 Ford truck and a 2006 International semi truck were eastbound on I-70 in the right lane. The left lane was closed due to road construction in the area. The 2006 International driven by James E. Marvin, 52, of Rifle, slowed and stopped due to two other semi trucks stuck on the icy road and blocking the right lane. The 1999 Ford truck driven by David E. Priest, 72, of Whitewater, then struck the rear of the 2006 International tractor trailer. After impact both vehicles were moved into the closed lane and later driven from the scene. No one was injured as a result of this crash as both drivers were wearing seat belts. Mr. Priest was issued a

citation for careless driving. I-70 in that location was down to one lane due to construction. The road was snow packed and icy and it was snowing at the time. I-70 was closed at the main Glenwood exit (milepost 116) while emergency personnel cleared the crash. Once the crash was cleared, several semi-trucks became stuck and had to be pulled out of the travel lane before I-70 could be re-opened. I-70 was closed from approximately 7:23 am to 9:26 am. The Colorado State Patrol investigated the crash. They were assisted by Glenwood Springs Police Department, and the Colorado Department of Transportation. The Colorado State Patrol would like to remind all motorists to slow down during inclement weather, leave a safe distance between you and the car in front of you, and be aware of changing road and weather conditions.

Ski resort could become % Monday ‘wellness’ destination 50off Madness Branding campaign to cost $80,000

By Beth Potter Mountaineer Staff Writer Vail is known around the world for its world-class skiing — in large part because of more than 40 years of marketing campaigns. Now, a local marketing group will pay $80,000 to a national marketing guru in 2009 to try to position the town as a “wellness and outdoor living” destination as well. James Chung, principal of Slingerlands, N.Y.,-based Reach Advisors, is expected to woo potential new business partners to the Vail Valley this summer, said Beth Slifer, a member of the Vail Local Marketing District Advisory Committee and owner of Slifer Designs in Edwards. American Airlines co-branding “We have hired him to continue the process of bringing partnerships with nationally recognized brands who wish to invest in the Vail Valley,” Slifer said. No specific brand names have been released. But as an example of how co-branding works, Vail Resorts partnered with American Airlines for Vail’s “All the Love” marketing campaign this winter.

American Airlines offered tickets to Vail in a sweepstakes contest, generating 5 million “impressions” for Vail’s online advertising, said Kelli McDonald, Vail’s economic development director. “The concept is not to spend marketing dollars but more to leverage the marketing dollars your brand partner spends,” McDonald said. Lodging tax revenues Chung previously did a “brand perception” study for the marketing group, which is funded with a 1.4 percent tax collected from Vail lodge owners for room stays. This year’s marketing district budget is projected to be $1.97 million or so. Other business leaders also are donating to the project, Slifer said. “This is expanding the scope of work that he originally had and soliciting the brands that he had suggested,” McDonald said. Chung said previously that he had introduced some Vail representatives to folks at Johns Hopkins health institutions in Maryland to see if the two groups might create a strategic partnership. Vail voters approved the lodging tax in 1999. The marketing group is a special district, which does not receive any other Vail town revenues. However, McDonald administers the lodging tax collections, and, technically, town council members are the Vail Local Marketing District.

‘Business intuitive’ may help area owners Coach offers steps to grow companies By Beth Potter Mountaineer Staff Writer You might remember Claudia Cunningham — “the hat ladyâ€? who sold straw hats at the Minturn Market for years. Her unique hats also sell at Gorsuch Ltd. in Vail and in specialty clothing shops around the country. Cunningham has used a somewhat offbeat method to grow her 13-year-old business. Instead of worrying about the bottom line, she tries to focus on “making it magicalâ€? when she goes to work. Cunningham tells her employees “Don’t be angry. Don’t be sad. Your energy goes to the woman who wears (the hat).â€? The “positive energyâ€? plan followed by Cunningham is just part of the philosophy espoused by Monique Guild, a “business intuitiveâ€? who has worked with her. Guild, based in Malibu, Calif., has worked with several Eagle County and Pitkin County businesses, as well as small and large companies around the country. Guild says she can “seeâ€? what’s going wrong in a business and help the owner fix it. She also has business owners visualize what they want in 10 separate areas of their life so they can achieve their goals. (please see sidebar) Business is soulful “People don’t want to believe that intuition and business go together, but that’s not true,â€? says Cunningham, who now makes her hats from an informal factory in Paonia. “If you want to run a business ‌ it’s going to be special for me, as well as the people who buy from me and the people who work for me.â€? Cunningham says she tries to run her business “as soulfully as I canâ€?, and that mentoring from Guild helps her achieve what she wants. “She really gives you a clear idea when you start seeing something negative happening. She calls them ‘energy snags’, and she moves you through it,â€? Cunningham said. Guild says her ideas about positive thinking and following one’s intuition have been used by major CEOs for years. Business leaders often talk about their gut instinct or going with their hunches on important decisions. Guild says she takes that concept one step further.

Free tips from a business coach

So you say you don’t have the finances in the current economic climate to pay for a business coach? Monique Guild, a “business intuitive� with clients in Eagle and Pitkin counties has some free advice. First — Clean out the external clutter in your life, from old books and old papers to old clothes hanging in your closet. At the same time, think about the internal clutter in your brain, working to get rid of resentments or negative thoughts you may be harboring. Once you’ve done both things, you create a space for new thoughts, ideas and people to come into your life, Guild says. “Internal resentments keep us stuck the past, and we can’t hear how we’re being guided in the moment,� Guild says. “We want to create a future that we’re excited about.� Second — Probably more importantly, volunteer your time to someone else. “It’s a form of tithing. Focus on someone else and be of service to them, and it automatically will come back to you,� Guild says. Guild also runs seminars to help business people learn to trust their intuition and focus on “building wealth� in all areas of their life. (See related story) — Beth Potter Listen to intuition “I really help people to go within and hear their intuition and how their intuition is guiding them,� Guild says. It may sound like an easy prescription to follow, but it’s helpful to be reminded about the steps it takes to remain focused, said Melanie Crandall, co-owner of Good Earth Landscaping with her husband in Basalt/El Jebel. The company started in 1992 with two employees and grew to 30 and interest from potential buyers. “She helps you to see the glass as half full, to get what you want in your life,� Crandall says. Problem employees? Guild also has helped the Crandalls decide what to do about a few problem employees, once cutting to the chase by telling Crandall’s husband that an employee [See BUSINESS COACH, page 9]

Marie Douglas-David , the 36-year-old Swedish countess who is battling her multimillionaire ex-hubby for a $100 million divorce settlement claimed Thursday that she helped make him a success by giving him tons of business advice over the years, reports the New York Post. “Douglas-David, a former investment analyst, has argued that she should not have to live on the roughly $38 million her estranged husband has offered her as part of a post-nup settlement,” according to the report. “[Marie’s attorney] said the couple discussed a possible merger with manufacturing conglomerate 3M Co. during their marriage as well as three other mergers with David, including with Honeywell International, Chubb Corp. and lock manufacturer Paidde.” She is asking for $100 million from him, plus $130,000 a month in alimony payments.

‘Overseas contingency operation,’ aka war

This week White House speechwriters and other staff were notified via e-mail to use the phrase “Overseas Contingency Operation” rather than “Global War on Terror.” Dave Riedel, of the Office of Security Review, wrote in the e-mail: “Recently, in a LtGen [John] Bergman, USMC, statement for the 25 March [congressional] hearing, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) required that the following change be made before going to the Hill,” “OMB says: ‘This Administration prefers to avoid using the term “Long War” or “Global War on Terror” [GWOT]. Please use “Overseas Contingency Operation.’”

Smile, we’re a banana republic

President Barack Obama’s 3.55-trillion-dollar budget plan will leave the United States with a worse budget deficit than Cuba, Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told AFP reporters this week. “This creates for us a higher deficit than Cuba’s,” said McConnell. “This is not the kind of position we want to put the United States in.” Asked for the figures underpinning the charge, a McConnell aide pointed to a report from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office that warned the US budget deficit for fiscal year 2009, ending September 30, would swell to 13.1 percent of Gross Domestic Prod-

The company plans to open a center that helps Chinese businesses open offices around the world. AP photo.

How soon they forget

The Freedom Tower is out. One World Trade Center is in. The agency that owns ground zero confirmed Thursday that the signature skyscraper replacing the towers destroyed on Sept. 11 will be more commonly known as One World Trade Center. The building under construction at the site was named the Freedom Tower in the first ground zero master plan. Officials at the time said the tallest, most symbolic of five planned towers at the site would demonstrate the country’s triumph over terrorism. Port Authority of New York and New Jersey chairman Anthony Coscia says the agency refers to the building as One World Trade Center. He says it’s the building’s legal name and “the one that’s easiest for people to identify with.” —Stories and photos from the AP, unless otherwise noted

By Dean Blazier Special to the Mountaineer On Thursday a man was charged with stalking Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson after the man allegedly drove his car from Florida in a car found with all necessary essentials of a real dangerous creepster: Duct tape, love letters, and loaded guns. The 34-year-old alleged pervert, Robert O’Ryan, was charged by the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office with two misdemeanor counts for carrying a loaded gun in a vehicle, and one felony count for carrying a loaded gun in his pants aimed at a 17-year old celebrity he doesn’t know, otherwise known as stalking. Police arrested O’Ryan Tuesday after he tried to jump a security fence at CBS Studios, where Johnson was filming Dancing with the Stars for ABC. Police then searched his car and found it full of the stalking necessities. Johnson was quite disturbed when she was notified of the creeper. Johnson’s parents said she was, “in fear of her life.” Clearly, Johnson immediately issued a restraining order against O’Ryan, which would certainly not be much of a deterrent to a person with a creep status as high as his. O’Ryan was scheduled to appear for arraignment Thursday in Superior Court, where prosecutors said they would request his bail be raised from $35,000 to $220,000. If convicted, O’Ryan could face up to a measly four years in prison, which would be just enough time for a creeper like him to plot his next attack.

convince the judge to give him a lighter sentence. The judge could have given him prison time, but Miguel gave a speech that likely smoothed things over saying he learned a, “very important lesson” and takes “full responsibility for not answering the question.” He even apologized to the fans, “especially the kids.” The 34-year-old athlete pleaded guilty last month to withholding information when questioned by a House

Tiger got it done with the putter Thursday, something he wasn’t able to do in his first stroke play event at Doral a couple weeks back. In the end it was good for a 68; Tiger sits three behind leader Jason Gore.

We’ll never know how Tejada really feels about his decision to not sell out one of his fellow steroid era teammates, but he actually comes out of this thing looking pretty good. He doesn’t look like a snitch, he owned up and apologized, and the worst part of the sentence for a person in his position is the 100 hours of community service. The five-time All-Star and 2002 AL MVP is the first baseball player in the limelight to be convicted of a steroid related crime.

Everyone from President Barack Obama on down to fans has criticized how college football determines its top team. Now senators are getting off the sidelines to examine antitrust issues involving the Bowl Champion Series. The current system “leaves nearly half of all the teams in college football at a competitive disadvantage when it comes to qualifying for the millions of dollars paid out every year,” the Senate Judiciary’s subcommittee on antitrust, competition policy and consumer rights said in a statement Wednesday announcing the hearings. Under the BCS, some conferences get automatic bids to participate in series, while others do not. Obama and some members of Congress favor a playoff-type system to determine the national champion. The BCS features a championship game between the two top teams in the BCS standings, based on two polls and six computer ratings. Behind the push for the hearings is the subcommittee’s top Republican, Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah. People there were furious that Utah was bypassed for the national championship despite going undefeated in the regular season. The title game pitted No. 1 Florida (12-1) against No. 2 Oklahoma (12-1); Florida won 24-14 and claimed the title. The subcommittee’s statement said Hatch would introduce legislation “to rectify this situation.” No details were offered and Hatch’s office declined to provide any. Hatch said in a statement that the BCS system “has [See ATHLETIC STUFF, page 12]

Last year on the 72nd hole here at Bay Hill, Tiger died a curling putt into the hole for birdie and the victory. Tiger threw his hat into the ground when the putt fell, an action that he allegedly doesn’t remember doing. Either way, that putt was shown only about 300

proven itself to be inadequate, not only for those of us who are fans of college football, but for anyone who believes that competition and fair play should have a role in collegiate sports.” In the House, Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, the top Republican on the Energy and Commerce Committee, has sponsored legislation that would prevent the NCAA from calling a HATCH football game a “national championship” unless the game culminates from a playoff system.

• No more rekicks after an illegal onsides kick; it immediately becomes the other team’s ball.

The 11 NFL rule changes for 2009

• A blindside block cannot be delivered with a helmet, shoulder or forearm to an opponent’s head or neck. That’ll be a 15-yard penalty. You can still blindside an unsuspecting opponent, you just can’t concentrate the hit on their head or neck.

• The draft will now reflect playoff results, not regularseason results. • There’s a new waiver period during the first two weeks of training camp, and the postseason waiver period will begin after the NFL’s final game, whether it’s the Pro Bowl or the Super Bowl. • Loose balls from a fumble or an incomplete pass are now subject to video review. • Video review can now be used to determine if a loose ball stayed in bounds or hit the sideline.

• What is traditionally known as the “wedge” will no longer be allowed. If three or more players line up shoulder-to-shoulder within two yards of each other, it will be a penalty. • On onside kicks, the kicking team cannot form a gang of more than five. In other words, have more than five players bunched together. • The clock will stop only until the referee signals ready for play if a fumble or lateral goes out of bounds. This is likely to prevent a team from stalling.

• Contact to the head of a defenseless receiver will now draw a 15-yard penalty. In other words, if a receiver is already tied up, stay away from his head. It’s a shocker this isn’t already a rule. • A defensive player on the ground may no longer lunge or dive at the quarterback’s lower legs. If you’re going to sack a quarterback now, you have to do it while standing. Tom Brady was injured in 2008 on a play like this.

Holy smokes! 15,000 bongs seized in Jerusalem Somebody tell Michael Phelps he can cancel that trip to the holy land … JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli police say they have seized 15,000 bongs in a raid on a factory in northern Israel. Spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says police entered the building in Haifa this week and confiscated the bongs and water pipes that were planned for distribution. He says the factory’s 60-year-old owner was arrested. Pipes and other drug paraphernalia are a common sight at Israeli kiosks. But Rosenfeld said Thursday that these items were banned a few weeks ago and police are cracking down. The majority of marijuana is smuggled into Israel by Bedouin across the porous border with Egypt. The rest comes from Gaza and Lebanon, though these routes are less common due to recent hostilities.

Alex Lai is one amazing person! Alex works on ski patrol on Vail Mountain. He is also an artist, braniac and part-time surfer. He’s been skiing since out of the womb on his Mom’s back. The Mountaineer wanted to recognize Alex because he is cool, thoughtful and keeps you and the mountain safe. If you see Alex today give him a big hello and to the other ski patollers on the mountain. Thanks Alex!

The right place, at the right time. Jeff & Kelly Morgan, longtime locals who now live in Austin, Texas, made their vacation plans in Vail. They did the right thing by coming here because the recent snowfall has made their ski trip one of the best ever. Skiing in the valley has been epic this year. We at the Mountaineer would also like to wish Jeff a big happy birthday (he’s 40 again), and have a blast skiing sixteen plus this week!

Meet some of the original team players. From left, Matt Carroll, GM at the Double Diamond Ski Shop, Jeff Morgan, golf pro, Austin, Texas and Mark Linfest, ski tech, Double Diamond Ski Shop. These guys recently got together for Jeff’s 40th again birthday and great skiing this week. You guys are the real deal! Getting married? Congratulations! Foods of Vail’s wedding coordinator, Courtney, says, “There are three things a bride should never compromise on when planning her wedding day: the dress, the food...and the groom!� Call Courtney at Foods of Vail for more information on catering your wedding (970)949-0282.

Meet the happiest guy in the valley, Chris Lai. Golf pro, a ski instructor and part-time mayor. Chris known for many talents is always multi-tasking, and you can always see Chris enjoying every moment of the day. If you see Chris skiing today or out and about give him a big hello and ask how his mushrooms tasted.
