Today's letters: The ruin of us all
Published: Sunday, March 24, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 5:08 p.m.
To the editor: There is nothing common about common sense in Washington, D.C. Demagoguery is king. The nobles bathe themselves in the frothy waters of partisan loathing and stink from the effort.
These would-be Robin Hoods take from the unborn, threaten the rich, pander to the middle and forsake the poor. The villains those white, married, Christian, tea party Republicans flying corporate jets armed with semi-automatic filibusters and austerity bombs will be the ruin of us all. Will sticks and stones be enough to thwart these rascals? Dont know, but there is always vitriol.
Brian Barr
Special indeed
To the editor: This letter is in response to the ubiquitous Joseph Haley in hopes of dissuading him from his self-delusional omnipotence and sarcasm concerning the FBI and its special agents.
Even though the vast majority of men and women with whom I served as an FBI special agent for 30 years were indeed very special intelligent, courageous, honorable and dedicated to protecting the freedom and safety of all good Americans the term special actually applies to the criminal laws passed by Congress, violations of which were assigned for special investigation by the FBI.
By the way, my former colleagues tell me that the FBI will be calling on Mr. Haley for advice on training its agents as soon as the nether regions become ice-bound.
Thomas L. Carpenter
Local products
To the editor: The March 7 letter writer who expressed her concern over the lack of practical products for local residents is a puzzlement. She was very concerned about former businesses whose owners are now retired or passed on, but she didnt seem to have the same concern for current local employees who are making a living on Main Street or locals who are selling their products on Main Street.
Perhaps it would be helpful for her and others to know that local products and practical products such as scarfs, caps, sweaters, socks, umbrellas, tea cheaper than Lipton, soap, lotions, Vermont Bag Balm (the best product ever for cracked, dry skin), syrups, honey, mixing bowls, dog leashes that last, kitchen strainers, ovenware for baking, wine, chocolate, cooking utensils, kitchen towels, knives, cutting boards, furniture, tablecloths, candles, salt and pepper shakers, no text (thank God!) games for children, guitar picks, keyboards, sheet music, old-fashioned candy, sheets and pillowcases, nightgowns and bookmarks are here.
With an average ticket price of $20 or less, downtown has never been a more practical destination for shopping. But more than that, its local.

Investigators say the last call made on a missing New Hampshire girl's cellphone was at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, about four hours after she was last seen.
Fifteen-year-old Abigail Hernandez of North Conway was last seen leaving Kennett High School on Wednesday afternoon. Police say she made it home but was gone when her mother arrived later.
WMUR-TV reports that police said Sunday they have not located the girl's phone, but have determined that the last call was made at 6:30 p.m. It's not clear where the call was made.
Several agencies, including the FBI, have been involved in searching for the girl by land, water and air.

Ben Affleck Is Perfect for Batman. Deal With It
When the news broke last night that Warner Brothers had cast Ben Affleck as Batman in the sequel to the Superman movie "Man of Steel" scheduled for July 2015, I thought of Michael Keaton.
Imagine if Twitter or the comment boards of Ain't It Cool News were around in 1988 and 1989.
Imagine the white-hot flames of geek rage.
"Michael Keaton—Mr. Mom! Beetlejuice!—as Batman?!" Even to me, as an eight-year-old at the time, it was weird casting. "The guy from 'Gung Ho'? Really?"
And we all know how that turned out. Tim Burton's "Batman" movies, starring Mr. Keaton, made boatloads of money and established the darker take on the character as the standard. Oh, and Mr. Keaton turned out to be the definitive Batman and Bruce Wayne for an entire generation of kids.
Mr. Affleck, however, is not some little-ish wiseguy type who made his bones in broad comedies. He's every bit the square-jawed leading man type, and he's now the go-to director and star for prestigious studio thrillers. Everything about Mr. Affleck donning the Dark Knight's cape and cowl in makes perfect sense, and yet there's so much outrage and disappointment over the choice. My dear wife, who loves and defends Mr. Affleck every chance she gets–yes, she even likes "Jersey Girl"–scoffed at the news. "Say it isn't so," she texted me. "He wasn't that good as Daredevil."
Ah, there it is. Folks can't let go of "Daredevil," that notorious 2003 dud that supposedly put Mr. Affleck off superhero movies for good. "By playing a superhero in Daredevil, I have inoculated myself from ever playing another superhero," Mr. Affleck said in 2006, according to the website /film. The movie, which came just as Mr. Affleck was entering his career nadir, racked up mostly negative reviews (it's only at 45% on Rotten Tomatoes) and put on a middling performance at the box office ($179 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo). "Daredevil," deservedly, is consigned to the discount DVD rack of film history.
But that was 10 years ago, and Mr. Affleck has come back strong–starting, fittingly enough, with his portrayal of late Superman actor George Reeves in 2006′s "Hollywoodland"–and culminating in his film "Argo's" triumph at the Academy Awards earlier this year.
In fact, if there's anything wrong with this casting, it's that Mr. Affleck is too perfect for the role. He has it all: The shoulder-heavy jock's physique, the chiseled facial features set to brood, the experience playing a tough but haunted leading character. It's yet another example of competent and professional, if uninspired, Batman casting. Josh Brolin, star of "No Country for Old Men" and Spike Lee's coming "Oldboy," had recently been rumored to be in contention for the part. Now that would have been exciting and unconventional. Mr. Affleck is anything but exciting and unconventional.
So what? Casting Mr. Affleck to square off against Henry Cavill's superb Superman is better than Hollywood forcing another nondescript young hunk on us. Mr. Affleck himself once fit that type himself, of course, but he's grown as an actor and a star, and he fits the all-business universe Zack Snyder and David Goyer established in "Man of Steel."
Another positive: Warner Brothers and D.C. are in the franchise business, particularly with a focus on getting a "Justice League" movie in gear. Mr. Affleck, in addition to being a box-office draw, is also a talented and accomplished director who surrounds himself with top-notch casts. His film "The Town" is one of the more gripping and well-made crime thrillers to come out of Hollywood over the past few years. Now imagine that guy making a standalone Batman film, or using his ability to conduct a big-time ensemble to direct "Justice League." Sounds good, right?
Let's not get ahead of ourselves, though. For now, Ben Affleck is going to be Batman. It's on the nose. It's safe. It's a little boring. But it's right.
And, Warner Brothers, while you're casting superhero film roles a little too perfectly, how about Bryan Cranston as Lex Luthor?

Like many others, my media server stopped working around the time of the last java update. I tried all the options that were discussed in this forum and some from other Mac forums and nothing was able to permanently solve the problem of no renderers being found. The problem I have, which I have not seen anyone else have is that on occasion (though very rare), the ps3 will be found and the media server works. This usually occurs if the mac and ps3 have been on for a long period of time. If I then switch off the media server and put it back on it will not find it again. This is very annoying as it always worked perviously 100%. Now I would say I'm lucky if it works 10% of the time.
I have since installed the updated version of ps3 media server which was made available earlier today. Once again the server is not working most of the time.
Similarly, my wireless printer has also stopped working (most of the time) though like the ps3 media server, will work on occassion. Could there be a problem with my network settings, wifi settings or something from the iMac end rather than the ps3 or software?
Thanks in advance for response.

I've signed up for my first sprint tri next month, and I had a thought...do I need some sort of ankle strap for my timing-chip? I'm used to tying it on my laces during races, but obviously I won't be wearing shoes in the swim. Any help would be welcome!! Any other advice on getting through my first would be great also!!
Hi Jviers, I've never been to a triathlon where they have timing chips and haven't provided a strap as well. Good luck in the race
Online training diaries TriBlogs.com & RunBlogs.co.uk
I have yet to have a timing chip that wasn't an ankle strap of some kind. Some runnning events, however, have disposable chips embedded in your race bib or a tag that goes on shoe laces, in addition to traditional ankle straps that have to be recovered at the finish line.
Good luck on your first tri! There is lots of advie here and helpful respondents so don't be afraid to ask questions. Nothing is too dumb and we have all been new to the sport at one time or another. Good luck and have fun.
You never know what condition the velcro on the ankle strap will be in, so I always bring a safety pin to pin it just in case. Also, make sure you wear the ankle timing chip on your left ankle (so you don't risk getting it caught up in your bike chain).
I completed my first tri last Sunday. Have done some duathlons last year. Trained to get my wetsuit off quickly in transition. Everything was going well in T1, until I tried to get my left leg out of the suit. I kept catching my hands on the timing strap. Almost fell over once. Finally had to do the step on the suit thing. My legs were well lubed with body glide, so it was just a strap issues. Other leg went fine.
Kinda thought this was an interesting twist to the timing strap issue. Thinking about getting one just to train with one.
Agree, I've never been to a race where a timing strap wasn't provided. My advice however, is to invest in your own strap for a few reasons. Much like Julie pointed out, sometimes the condition of the strap provided isn't great or in my case, I had one that was so stiff and uncomfortable that by te end of the race (sprint) it had rubbed the skin off my ankle in a few areas...not life threatening by any means but noneless it was annoying. Now it's my "triathlon scar" lol.
I picked up a very comfortable strap at my local running/tri store for about ~8 bucks, I bring it to every race and use it when the straps provided aren't great, but some events use quality materials. If you get your own just remember to make sure they don't keep it at the end of the race. Good luck and have fun racing!!!
Thanks for all the info...I appreciate the help!

Like Cam Newton, quarterback for the Carolina Panthers, many men with athletic builds have trouble selecting tailored clothing that is flattering for their body type.
Over the course of our long history of dressing American athletes (we are the Official Tailored Clothier of Major League Soccer, the Seattle Sounders, the Vancouver Whitecaps and the Portland Timbers), we have picked up a few tricks that just might help. Here are a few tips for dressing an athletic build:
1. Have a sales associate properly fit you for a suit, then stick to that size every time. Men with larger chests tend to buy sizes that are too large, which makes them look boxy.
2. Always wear a two-button jacket, which will elongate your torso and balance wider shoulders.
3. Remember that dress shirts should have some drape. Make sure the sleeves are not too tight around your biceps.
4. Have an expert tailor take in the excess fabric on both sides of the jacket to create a slim and lean silhouette.
5. Wear slim and narrow cut trousers, which will make you appear taller and slimmer.

Has Time Run Out For Watches?
In the annals of horology, the Graves Supercomplication, an 18-carat gold double dial pocket watch is undeniably a masterpiece of watchmaking. Commissioned around 1925 by the secretive New York financier Henry Graves, Jr., in a bid to one-up his rival, the watch collector and auto magnate James Ward Packard, it took Patek Philippe nearly eight years to design and build. Intricately constructed of 900 components – most no bigger than a grain of rice – the timepiece boasts 24 "complications" (functions outside of timekeeping), making it the most complicated watch of the period.
Depending on the direction pushed, a thrust of its triple winding crown set mean time (based on the motion of the sun), sidereal time (based on earth's relation to the stars), or an alarm. In addition to a different chronological function for each hour of the day, the watch featured a perpetual calendar (requiring resetting only in the year 2100), a split-second chronograph, indications for the exact time of sunrise and sunset, and a minute repeater striking the hour, half-hour, and quarter-hour on miniscule gongs playing the Westminster chimes – just like Big Ben. Among its many wonders, undoubtedly the watch's piece de resistance was its celestial chart, with each star measured in precise magnitude, mapping the sky over Manhattan.
Entirely calculated and crafted by hand, the one-of-a-kind Supercomplication represented not only the pinnacle of haute horologie but also the highest level of technological achievement of the day. Peerless in its complexity and ingenuity it was quite simply the iPad or iPhone of its time.
During the era that produced the Supercomplication, watchmakers were still considered among the most innovative mechanical engineers. Without the aid of computers they routinely inspired awe with their technical daring. They crafted instruments that not only kept time, but included split-second chronographs, indicated phases of the moon, recorded the seasons, and measured humidity. Watchmakers miniaturized clocks and cleverly hid them behind the tiny petals of enamel flowers and crafted flea-sized operas all within the exacting confines of a pocket watch and later the wristwatch.
Given the ubiquity of timetracking devices today, with the abundance of smart phones and cheap digital watches, the concept of time and timekeeping has become something of an afterthought. It is hard to fathom that kings once summoned the most exalted horologists to their courts, or that nations fought for the honor of developing the most advanced instruments of time. Indeed, it was the ability to measure time that transformed Europe from a backwater into a world power, drove exploration of the New World, and propelled the development of western civilization.
Today, some of the brightest high-tech minds are experimenting on a "smartwatch," a computer and wristwatch rolled into one. The Wall Street Journal reported that the startup Pebble Technology has already logged 85,000 pre-orders (and $10 million raised through Kickstarter) for its own version of a computer watch that connects wirelessly to iPhones and Android devices while Google is at work on Google Glass, a device much like a pair of glasses that puts digital information in one's field of version. Then there's Apple, which is reportedly at work on a 21st century version of Dick Tracy's two-way wrist radio, dubbed the iWatch by some, made of curved glass.
Today, determining the correct time of day is easy to find, and as anyone who has ever walked down Canal Street in New York City and perused a selection of "genuine fakes" — even cheaper to buy. Yet, time was once a shared experience. The earliest mechanical timekeepers, thirteenth century weight driven clocks inside church towers called the faithful to worship. Later, town clocks ensured communal synchronicity from dawn to dusk. The medieval astronomical clock standing in Prague's town square still brings crowds on the hour to view the chiming spectacle of twelve apostles parading in orbit, just as it has done since 1410. Although today they are mostly tourists taking pictures of the ancient spectacle on their smart phones.
The development of timekeeping unhinged man from nature (no more scoring rocks to mark days at sundown) and now it seems to have unhinged us from everyone around us. With the tap of a device we set our day on our own time, time no longer sets our day. And yet, says William Andrewes, a horological expert, "Time is central to society." The co-founder of the upcoming CalTech symposium "Time is For Everyone" an examination of public time, Andrewes noted, "We can't exist without it technologically or socially and yet we don't realize how much we need it."
Notably, it took five centuries before reliable, precision timekeepers appeared. It wasn't until the 15th century that a value was given to the interval of an hour. "It was a long evolution to create a timepiece that was actually accurate," explains Charlotte Vignon, the curator of Precision and Splendor, an exhibit currently at the Frick Collection that provides a capsule view of timekeeping and the march of civilization through art and science. "For many centuries clocks were curiosities, and the instruments were works of art."
Indeed, the Supercomplication is a relic of the lost art of time and also emblematic of the notion that time is a lost art. In private hands for decades, the timepiece surfaced at an auction at Sotheby's in 1999 where it realized a record breaking $11 million.
With the rise of the smartwatch, the future of timekeeping takes yet another turn. Our shared sense of time has a dilemma with decidedly modern spin. As William Andrewes put it: "once there were problems finding time now none of us can find enough of it."

ECB's Nowotny: Additional ECB Easing Steps 'Clearly Possible'
Fresh stimulus measures from the European Central Bank are "clearly possible" to guard against the risks of excessively low inflation, but the bank should wait until its June meeting to consider whether to take them, Austrian central bank governor Ewald Nowotny said in an interview.
Mr. Nowotny, who is a member of the ECB's governing council, signaled that his preference would be for any ECB stimulus to be geared toward Europe's asset-backed securities market, which may in turn boost the flow of credit to the economy. He said he is open to setting a negative rate on bank deposits parked at the ECB, but raised doubts about the effectiveness of such a move.
"We are preparing all the technical aspects of a range of possible interventions," Mr. Nowotny told The Wall Street Journal on the sidelines of meetings of the International Monetary Fund.
Last week, the ECB kept its key interest rates unchanged despite a recent report showing annual inflation slid in March to 0.5%, far below the ECB's target of just under 2%. However, the ECB strengthened its commitment to reduce rates or take other easing steps if necessary, saying the 24-member board was unanimous in its willingness to consider unconventional tools.
The ECB has come under pressure from the IMF in recent weeks to ease policy further.
But Mr. Nowotny signaled that he would prefer to hold fire again when the ECB meets in May and wait until the June meeting, when the ECB will have fresh economic and inflation forecasts through 2016, to consider its next move.
Currently, the ECB expects inflation to average 1.5% in 2016. But the revised June estimates may not necessarily show a downgrade in the outlook, Mr. Nowotny said. The bank's economic growth forecast may be revised higher, he said, which could provide a lift to consumer prices. Energy prices, which have acted as a drag on inflation in recent months, are another area that may be "self-correcting," he said.
One possibility if the central bank does act, Mr. Nowotny, said, would be for the ECB to purchase asset-backed securities in the capital markets, a move that could help kick-start this segment of the markets and help steer more credit to the private sector.
The asset-backed securities market is much smaller in Europe than it is in the U.S., making it difficult for the ECB to purchase large amounts of these securities. But the signaling effect from the central bank could be significant even if the amounts of the purchases aren't, Mr. Nowotny said.
"Even if the volumes may be not that large, I think as soon as the ECB announces that they are prepared to become active in this market, market participants would have a huge incentive to provide material for this market," he said.
He also said he was open to reducing the ECB's rate on bank deposits, currently zero, into negative territory. But he added that the size of any cut would have to be limited.
"If we have a negative deposit rate of, let's say, minus 10 basis points, I think the effects would be more psychological than they would be real," he said.
Mr. Nowotny said he welcomed Greece's successful sale this week of EUR3 billion in five-year bonds, its first sale of longer-term bonds since it was bailed out by international creditors four years ago. "It is a signal of confidence for the Greek recovery," he said.
Still, he said central bankers should be cautious about the broader trend toward the increased risk appetite of global investors. "Markets might have a tendency to overreact in both ways," he said.
"We see worldwide there is a greater preparedness for risk-taking. This always should be something central bankers should look at in a very careful way," Mr. Nowotny said.

Why did 150 Hartville citizens sign petitions to place Issue 28 on the November ballot? Issue 28 will restore the income tax credit for Hartville residents who work in other cities where they pay income tax.
In August 2012, Village Council passed an ordinance by emergency to revoke this income tax credit. That increased the income tax paid by these residents by 50 percent.
Before you raise taxes, you should cut expenses wherever possible. Just because there is money allocated in the budget doesn't mean it should be spent. Don't buy things you don't need. Tasers for the Police Department were nice, but did they really need them? It's nice to provide vehicles for personal use, but can we afford it?
For years, we've heard about the reduction in local government funding from the state, so why didn't we prepare for it? For years before it happened, we were told that the Hartville Hardware was going to move out of the village, but we never cut back. That's like knowing you're going to crash but not doing anything about it.
Since January 2008, the village of Hartville never reduced overtime or froze wages. They have done nothing to collect taxes owed by more than 300 people who didn't file income tax returns. We pay our fiscal officer $78,000 a year, plus mileage to his home in
another county, for a job that was done for more than 20 years for about $45,000 by a clerk-treasurer who worked every day in the office.
Our citizens have a constitutional right to challenge our council when we feel it has done something unfair. Issue 28 lets our people vote on whether they want to pay higher taxes.
Editor's note: The writer, a former mayor of Hartville, led the petition drive to get Issue 28 on the ballot.

The Peak School head of school Rebekah Jordan didn't intend to move to Summit County. "I was actually moving to California and my truck broke down in the Eisenhower Tunnel," Jordan said. So she headed to Summit County to see some friends, and planned to make her way further west later on. But her intentions started to wane as she met more people, and were completely disintegrated one morning as she enjoyed a coffee in a friend's driveway. People were waving as they passed, riding their bikes with dogs in tow. And that's when Jordan knew: "I needed to stay," she said. "It felt like home immediately."Jordan originally hails from Cheshire, Conn. Her mother was a public school librarian, her father an accountant. They both now work on an organic farm. For Jordan, the world of education seems to be something that called to her from a young age. "Other than my brief stints of thinking I wanted to be a biologist or a lawyer, that was where I always gravitated toward," she said. "I've been an educator as long as I can remember ... it's where I wanted to be." And following her graduation from Smith College in Massachusetts with degrees in education and theater, and a few teaching jobs under her belt - in Boston and in Connecticut - "I knew I wanted to open a school someday," Jordan said. Right after her accidental move to Summit County, Jordan did the "requisite working three waitressing jobs for one season." She then started working for the now-gone Summit Learning Center, where she "started really building relationships with families in the county through education, and navigate the really intriguing deregulated world of education that Colorado has." In that job, Jordan helped students find educational program formats that would work for them, and their educational goals. So when the learning center closed, Jordan decided to continue on with her work, founding Colorado Learning Connections in 2006 around the idea of helping each student receive a customized education. That could mean tutoring, replacing classes, or even reworking a schedule due to athletic commitments. "A resource center for families where they could figure out what the options were, and have help advocating for, and navigating those options," Jordan said. The center just "happened so organically, and was such a natural process." Her theater degree - which focused on stage management - actually came in hand when it came to the formation and handling of the business and employees. Jordan earned her master's in education (with a focus on nontraditional education) from Regis University in Denver while she ran the business.
Throughout her tenure at Learning Connections, families asked Jordan if she would help form a private school or another option in Summit County. "It's a huge undertaking," she said. "I knew that in order to be successful it needed to happen at the right time and with the right people." So, when Jordan started talking with locals Chris and Shannon Renner about the options available, it finally felt like the right time with the right people. "We've since grown our working group to be this tremendous group of really energetic, passionate people around the county - both parents of current students, parents of future students and non-parents who have thrown their energy behind getting the school off the ground," Jordan said. And now, it's almost off the ground. Thursday morning, Jordan sat in what will be the humanities classroom at the school, which will be filled with students on its first day, Aug. 22. All of the big things are in place for the upcoming year - students are all registered for classes, staff is hired and syllabi are set - while smaller things, like the arranging of desks, still need to be done. But even though a few things are yet to be placed, there's books lining shelves, lockers in the hallway, and lunch tables in the lunch room. Jordan - whose head of school position is a mix between principal and superintendent - can't wait for the adventure to really begin. One of her favorite sights is seeing a student tucked next to a locker in the hallway, their nose in a book. The Peak School's mission is to "ignite passion for academic exploration, and to cultivate learners who think critically, act with integrity and inspire others." There are two core teachers - one for humanities - which includes English, writing and history lessons - and the other for science, applied math, engineering and technology. The core classes will be taught in an integrated fashion, in two- to two-and-a-half hour blocks. Electives include outdoor education, art, digital photography, Spanish and Mandarin. "I feel grateful more than anything else. It's really hard not to be inspired by the people that I work with," Jordan said. "It's so rewarding to be able to create something, and something I believe so strongly in ... to know that we're getting to create something that is going to make a difference in Summit County."
It's a good thing Jordan rooted herself in Summit, since she fits right in with the culture. Outside her working life, she likes to hike and travel, cook and read. She has a 3-and-a-half-year-old son who loves to ride bikes, and is "just an awesome, fun kid." "Living here changes you in good ways," Jordan said. "I can't imagine being or doing anything else right now. This is absolutely where I want to be."

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - A request to use parking in town-owned lots sparked a debate Dec. 3 about private use of public land.
The Roaring Fork Club of Basalt, which formerly shuttled guests to the Silvertree Hotel for ski outings, is looking to open a similar operation at Timberline Condominiums. The club is requesting to convert a portion of lot 13 to use for its valet parking and obtain 30 permits for lots 10 through 12, normally offered to the public, for its guests to use.
There is some private use already. The town owns those lots after acquiring them when the Snowmass Village Resort Association was dissolved and agreed to certain limitations of their use. The town has never allowed exclusive use of space in the numbered lots in winter. It releases some passes, but in the municipal code those are specified to be for individual motorists, not a business.
The town could alter the code to allow for a transferrable pass for a commercial purpose. Transportation director David Peckler said the number of permits he would feel comfortable issuing is 30, and that staff strongly recommends those be focused on lot 11.
The council's reaction
After the initial presentation, Councilman Fred Kucker immediately took issue with the appropriateness of the request.
"You're asking us to take away 30 parking spaces from the public and dedicate them to a private, for-profit entity for the sole and exclusive use of that entity's members so that that entity can make money," he said. "I don't think we should be in the business of underwriting private entities."
He also expressed concern about setting a precedent, saying there's nothing to prevent other private entities from making similar requests, and about traffic congestion.
Mayor Bill Boineau had similar worries.
"When I heard about this to me it was like, what's going to prevent myself from coming in and saying, as Fred says, 'I want to start a valet package,'" Boineau said. "It speaks to me in wintertime when we need these spaces to be more of a problem."
"I think that maybe another way to frame the question is looking at this as a commercial use versus residential," said Jim Light, co-creator of the club. "(The lots have) been there for commercial purposes."
Why they want the spaces
The Roaring Fork Club, and the Roaring Fork Mountain Lodge operation in Snowmass, is a private club that members pay dues to join. Members include valley residents as well as national and international visitors.
Light said the club does not believe it's violating the town code or the SVRA agreement. He said it's looking for a practical solution, and added that "it seems more environmentally appropriate to not send every car to the chapel."
In the past, the lodge parked some valeted cars in the chapel lot. Light said it seemed impractical to do that on days when there are open spaces in lots closer by.
Kucker pointed out that the lots are reserved for commercial use by people staying, living or shopping Snowmass and that the town has a duty to respect those people.
"I'm not so sure we feel the same obligation toward the mountain club," he said.
The council voted 3-2 as landowner to allow the town's land to be included in the application. Then the officials heard the application for a one-year temporary use permit of the land and opened the public hearing.
Mary Harris, general manager of the Timberline, said she sees the club as positive for business in Snowmass.
"It is so important that we make every single person, whether they're here for an hour or they're here for three weeks, feel special," she said.
Harris said the plan is for the Edge restaurant at Timberline to open for breakfast, lunch and dinner if the Mountain Lodge can operate there, and the public would be able to dine during those hours too. She said if the Lodge doesn't come in, the Edge will only serve dinner.
Current club membership is approximately 210. Club member Becket Becnel stood up and pointed out that that number means that many families.
"We're talking 100 days that you could lose this many spending tourists," Becnel said.
What the public thinks
Most members of the public present spoke in favor of the Mountain Lodge, including John Henschel, of Incline, who said merchants in town spoke positively of club customers.
"These people are affluent people, they come from all over the nation, all over the world," he said. "These people spend money."
However, Dave Spence, of Destination Resorts, was worried about losing parking for his company's lodges, which include Top of the Village, Laurelwood and the Stonebridge Inn.
"The lodging is very dependent on the availability of those lots," Spence said. "This is a use that is very different of anything that was ever anticipated."
Lots lower down will fill up faster if residents find the upper lots full, Spence said.
Councilwoman Markey Butler made a motion to approve so that the discussion could return to the council. The officials' statements were mostly negative.
"I think this is an increase in the intensity of the use at the Timberline," said Councilman Jason Haber. "This is certainly going to improve use of those parking spaces. It troubles me a little bit that we haven't engaged those users (other lodges) in terms of the agreement."
Council reopened the public hearing, and Light said the lodge needed an immediate direction from council. Boineau suggested that Light consider changing the request to only include four spaces for valet parking. The lodge would then park the cars in an off-site location.
"This last proposal puts my concerns at ease," Spence said.
Boineau continued the public hearing to Dec. 10, when a special meeting is scheduled.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE - What do animal pelts, boat parts, and scientific tools tell us about Lake Tahoe History? The Tahoe Maritime Museum aims to let local students explore this question through the launch of the Traveling Trunk History Program. Developed by Tahoe Maritime Museum staff and funded by an El Dorado Community Foundation Grant, the program will be led by the museum's Public Programs Coordinator Katena Sanford. "If the classes can't come to the museum, we will come to them," said Sanford. "The museum has a ton to offer local kids and we want them to be informed about this amazing place; Tahoe is full of history. They should know what happened here before them because it shaped how they are living here now." The Traveling Trunk is free to North Shore, South Shore, and Truckee schools.
Thomas J. Noel, a Denver area historian stated, "History is not just something that happened long ago and far away. History happens to all of us all the time. Local history brings history home, it touches your life, the life of your family, your neighborhood, your community." The Traveling Trunk program allows local students to more deeply understand the place they call home. The Tahoe Maritime Museum Traveling Trunk Program will focus on the history of the Lake Tahoe region specifically addressing the following third grade Education and the Environment Initiative standards: 3.1.2, 3.2.2, 3.5.1, and 3.5.2. The session will last 50 minutes and in that time students will break off into groups of three to five, depending on class size. Each group will be assigned a different period of Lake Tahoe history. The groups will be given a photograph, artifact, and written document from their assigned time period. As a group, they will try to answer, "What did this group value from Lake Tahoe?"
Students will have time to investigate the articles and examine the available materials from their era to determine what their group valued from Lake Tahoe. Artifacts include animal pelts and bones, salvaged boat pieces, historic fishing gear, and other items the students will have to investigate to determine for what they were used. Each group will have a chance to share their findings with the class in chronological order so the group understands the progression of Lake Tahoe history, its changing economies, and use of resources.
The hands-on approach to learning about local history will allow the students to be the historians and investigators, using artifacts, documents, and photographs to determine what their group did to survive in Lake Tahoe and what they valued from the area. The program is designed to be interactive, fun, and challenge the students to figure out the history on their own. To get your student's classroom involved contact Sanford at email@example.com or 530-525-9253, ext. 103.
A private nonprofit, the mission of the Tahoe Maritime Museum is to stimulate an interest in and an understanding of Lake Tahoe's rich maritime history through the highest standards of historic preservation, innovative interpretation and public education. The museum is currently open to the public Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and is located near Homewood Mountain Resort. Admission is $5 for adults and free for kids 12 and under. Please visit www.tahoemaritimemuseum.org for further information on exhibits and events.

Stocks to Watch: Netflix, Apple, Mellanox
By Anna Prior
Among the companies with shares expected to actively trade in Thursday's session are Netflix (NFLX) Apple (AAPL) and Mellanox Technologies (MLNX, MLNX.TV).
Netflix capped a turbulent year by posting a surprise fourth-quarter profit and adding more Internet subscribers than expected, news that sent its stock rocketing about 39% to $143.80 in premarket trading.
Apple reported mostly flat year-over-year earnings for the December quarter, the first of its fiscal year, despite record iPhone and iPad sales. Shares of the Cupertino, Calif., company fell 9.5% in premarket trading to $465.38 as the increased product sales failed to satisfy Wall Street's expectations. The results built on growing concerns that Apple may be losing its edge with consumers and have a tough time topping its past success.
Mellanox's fourth-quarter earnings surged as the data-storage company recorded a double-digit increase in revenue, though it offered revenue guidance sharply below analyst expectations for the current quarter. Shares tumbled 21% to $41.10 premarket.
Brazilian aircraft maker Embraer (ERJ, EMBR3.BR) said Republic Airways has signed a contract for as many as 94 ERJ175 planes to fly regional routes for American Airlines. Republic agreed to buy 47 of the planes and the option to buy another 47, Embraer said in a regulatory filing. Should Republic exercise that option, the total value of the sale would reach $4 billion, Embraer said. Shares rose 9% to $31.14 premarket.
ITT Educational Services (ESI) swung to a surprise fourth-quarter loss as the for-profit educational company saw a double-digit drop in new student enrollments and a sharp rise in operating costs. Shares fell 8.5% to $13.10 in premarket trading.
Buckeye Partners L.P. (BPL) has launched an offering of six million units representing limited partner interests. The pipeline-owning company expects to use the proceeds to pay down its debt, and said it will have around 96.4 million units outstanding after the offering. Shares were off 4.3% in premarket trading at $52.16.
F5 Networks (FFIV) reported a 4.5% jump in fiscal first-quarter profit and issued an encouraging earnings outlook for the current quarter as stronger services revenue helped to offset slowing growth from new product sales. Shares rose 4.7% to $103.40 premarket.
Swift Transportation (SWFT) fourth-quarter profit rose 27% as the trucking company reported revenue gains across its segments. Shares climbed 17% to $11.94 premarket as adjusted earnings topped analyst expectations.
Curis (CRIS), a drug development company, said it has earned a $350,000 milestone payment from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society after starting a Phase I clinical trial study of a refractory lymphoma and multiple myeloma treatment. Shares rose 6.7% to $3.33 premarket.
Biodel (BIOD) reported positive top-line results from a Phase 1 clinical trial of two ultra-rapid-acting insulin analog candidates. Shares of the biopharmaceutical company rose 12% to $2.62 in light premarket trading.

Be Active Day going strong in its fifth year
Boosting healthy living
Published: Sunday, January 27, 2013 at 9:56 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 27, 2013 at 9:56 a.m.
Suzanne Davis stood off to the side of a stage at Blue Ridge Mall Saturday afternoon. The Flat Rock resident watched as her 4-year-old daughter, Mackenzie, participated in Zumba exercises.
Davis and her husband, Brian, brought their daughter to the mall for the fifth annual Be Active Day sponsored by the Henderson County Department of Public Health.
The mall was lined with businesses that promote an active lifestyle for families. Tables were set up promoting line dancing, baseball, karate, Zumba, kickboxing, jazzercise, clogging, gymnastics and just plain exercise.
For Mackenzie, one thing really stuck out, her mom said.
"She enjoys the activities," Suzanne said. "She seemed to enjoy the Zumba the most."
In the midst of all the tables promoting an active lifestyle were plenty of things for kids to do. The center of the mall turned into a playground as kids were hula hooping, tossing a ball, dancing to video games and jumping rope.
"We try to make the event fun for all ages, but that's the most fun," said Tricia Stauffer, health educator at the Department of Public Health. "Looking out and seeing the kids playing."
Stauffer has been a part of all five Be Active Days, but this was her first year as the main organizer. What makes the event special, she said, is the variety.
"I think having people realize the opportunities out there is the most important thing," she said.
"It's awesome," Brandi Elledge said. "They have a huge variety." Elledge was there with her 5-yearold son, Cole, and her 2-year-old daughter, Caity.
The event got off to a slow start, Stauffer said, which could be attributed to the weather, but by mid-day she was pleased with the turnout.
"I'm glad we're getting more people as the day goes on," she said.

Just the other day I came across a lovely and quite old bottle of Conterno Barolo. Barolo, along with Brunello di Montalcino, Barbaresco and Amarone, continue to rank on the top of my Italian wish list. This bottle was from the very lovely, powerful and elegant 1978 vintage. I had saved about a half a dozen of these wonderful bottles because they are the birth year of our twins. Because I have not had this wine for some time, I do not know whether this last bottle has weathered the test of time. I'll likely find out on the twins' 35th birthday, when this little gem will be opened and enjoyed.
Aging wine successfully takes some forethought and some understanding of what wines are appropriate to age. Not all red wines are destined for the cellar. I have been employed many times to evaluate cellars and have found instances in which, with just some very rudimentary planning, the collection would have stood the test of time. Let's look at a few easy steps to ensure a sound cellar, should you chose to start one:
Store wines in a cool environment. Wine must be stored in a cool place, with no vibration and a low light source. By "cool," I mean under about 60 degrees. I have experienced long-term cellaring which might go up to 65 degrees for a short time then back down and the wines have remained sound. The thought is that 53 degrees is optimum for cellaring, but hitting that mark, unless under refrigeration, is a task. Those of you who have a cellar are in luck because, naturally, this is really the best place to store wine. If your wines hit 70 degrees or higher, I think that you should not consider long-term storage for fine wines.
Store wines with natural corks on their sides. More wines seem to come with either screw caps or synthetic corks, which frankly I like — especially the screw-capped releases. I have not come across many "high-end" releases, that is, those destined for the cellar, with anything but natural cork enclosures. Make sure that these wines stay horizontal at all times. The wine creates a seal by expanding the cork against the glass neck. Standing the wine vertically for over a month or so can really dry out the cork, allowing air to get into the wine, which, of course, destroys it.
When purchasing wine for the cellar, make sure that the retailer has the wines with cork wet and not standing under a commercial heat source. It amazes me, when walking through retail establishments, how many wines are sitting directly under heaters and standing straight up!
Choose wines carefully. Again, not all wines are destined to age well. Ask a reputable wine person which wines are appropriate for aging, how long they should be aged and what you should expect after you open them. There are also many fine wine magazines online as well as by subscription that can guide you on wines appropriate for the cellar and their prices.
Age both red and white wines. Remember, there are white wines that age well. I have just come back from a German riesling tasting in which many of these sweet beauties were more than 15 years old. So try to balance your cellar with a few delicious white wines as well.
Have a wonderful holiday season!

Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Risk Management
In 1998 the UN General Assembly mandated UNDP to assume operational
responsibility for natural disaster mitigation, prevention and preparedness. UNDP is present in 166 countries and nowadays employs more than 200 full time practitioners covering all regions with special attention to the 60 highest risk countries.
- works closely with countries at risk of disasters involving natural hazards, assisting them in adopting new laws and policies and establishing new institutions addressing the need to anticipate and minimize the effects of disasters, prevent losses, and recover when disasters occur;
- helps high-risk countries to build their ability to analyze, prevent and manage risks related to climate variability and change— droughts, floods, sea level rise and extreme temperatures— and define risk management solutions over the short and longer terms;
- facilitates the integration of climate risk management and disaster risk reduction into broader national development and recovery plans;
- implements community-level disaster preparedness and recovery activities such as contingency planning, early warning systems, and restoration of community infrastructure;
- promotes the use of gender analysis to differentiate women's risks, impacts and needs from those of men and encourages women's participation and leadership in disaster risk reduction;
- is the coordinator of the UN system for recovery planning after disasters, collaborating with the World Bank and the European Commission in integrating tangible risk reduction commitments into post-disaster needs assessments and recovery frameworks.
Did you know?
- 85% of people exposed to disasters live in countries with medium to low levels of human development, compounding existing poverty and inequality.
- During 2010 alone, UNDP provided support to 78 countries to strengthen their ability to reduce disaster risks and recover from them more effectively.

Hello, I am Becky Carlberg, gardening enthusiast from Southeast Oklahoma. I have degrees in Biology from Eastern Oklahoma State College and Oklahoma State University. Teaching, research work, and competing in art shows then followed. I earned my Master�s Degree in Plant Pathology from OSU and continued graduate work on a Doctorate of Botany at the University of Oklahoma.
With my family, we twice had an opportunity to live in Europe. We were in England for five years and then later in Germany for seven years. It was an excellent education for our sons. I returned to gardening, writing and art, became a Master Gardener, as well as an Oklahoma certified Master Naturalist. I am the gardener in charge of the Shawnee Japanese Peace Garden, a member of the Deep Fork Audubon Society, and now call my five acre Backyard Wildlife Habitat and Oklahoma Wildscape outside Shawnee home.
My name is Linda Workman Smith. The first step of my gardening journey began in the hills northwest of Van Buren, Arkansas, where my parents�both from farming families�raised seven children.
This is not to say that I�ve always had a love for gardening although over the years I�ve managed to keep my hands in the dirt. In 2000, my husband�s employment brought us to Shawnee where we settled on two acres west of town. Being unemployed for the first time in many years�and planning to stay that way�I started gardening on a small scale.
I have been a member of the Multi-County Master Gardener Association for several years and thoroughly enjoy being in the organization. I now have many flower beds and I�ve expanded my gardens to include lots of vegetable varieties, several fruit trees, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and grapes. Every year I try to plant something different. I don�t grow a lot of any one thing, but a little bit of lots of things!
Valentine's Day Blog 2013.
Have you graced your love with hearts and flowers? This year I decided to try to make a Valentine's chewy oatmeal cookie in a pie plate. The dough needed to be much thinner, and the cookie slices may need to be touched up a bit in the microwave. We'll find out tonight!
The Multi-County Master Gardeners have created a four year plan for landscaping around the OSU Extension Building on 14001 Acme in Shawnee. The raised bed on the north east side is still there, and a small garden on the southwest side remains, but most of the mature shrubs that flanked the building have been removed. Vegetation has been cleared away from the Pottawatomie County Extension Center sign. An extensive watering system was installed plus a new storage shed has been built. It will have its own landscaped beds around it. The emphasis will be on utilizing Oklahoma Proven plants, as well as other flowers and vegetables.
There is this small problem with gophers. While talk is of poisoning all of them, there are other options. First, know your perceived enemy. Gophers, aka pocket gophers or ground squirrels, build extensive tunnels and little dens underground. Usually there is one gopher per tunnel. Our gophers are most likely Plains pocket gophers (Geomys bursarius).
Pocket gophers are only found in the Western Hemisphere. They are notorious for ruining human planted yards, gardens and trees as they love the roots and vegetative portions. Strictly vegetarians. Please remember, they are just as much a part of the ecosystem as the humans are. They do provide benefits in the form of increasing soil fertility as their fecal matter mixes with the plant materials they drag down into their underground habitats. Aeration of soil occurs, and a churning of soil results in bringing essential minerals toward the surface. They are food on the paw for hawks, owls, coyotes, bobcats, and snakes.
This is the problem with using poisons. If the gophers eat poison and are then eaten by any of the aforementioned predators, it immediately goes into the food chain and affects other animals.
Strychnine. The most common poison used is strychnine-coated grains, such as millet. The poison is strong and lasts quite a long time. Strychnine comes from a tree that grows in India, the Strychnine tree (Strychnos nux-vomica). The bark, blossoms and round, flat seeds inside the green fruits have strychnine, a potent neurotoxin.
The gophers take the treated grains down into their burrows, but any dog, cat, hawk or owl that eats even a little of the muscle tissue from a dead gopher can also die. If birds eat any of the bait lying on the surface, they are goners as well. One thing to remember. Gophers and owls are both active at night. Gophers are the owl's food of choice if available. Strychnine compounds are not recommended to be used around veggie gardens or orchards.
Zinc phosphate. An alternative is zinc phosphate. The gas produced during digestion enters the gopher bloodstream and they die. It is said to be less toxic to domesticated animals, but I found no test data on wild animals or birds. The stuff looks like granola.
Anti-coagulants. Mouse and rat bait have been mentioned as a possible control. The bait contains anti-coagulants (blood thinners) and causes a slow death. Gophers may not like the particular compound the chemical is offered in. This is why it is called rat and mouse bait.
Buffer strips around garden plots and trees can be used. If planted in annual grains, the grain buffer protects the crops preferred by gophers. The grain root systems do not have enough food value and gophers tend not to eat them and stay away. Yellow sweet clover (Melilotus indicus) is said to be quite repulsive to gophers. It could also be planted as a buffer strip. The buffer strip may be just bare ground, or ground covered by 6 inches of coarse gravel.
Create raised beds inside plant boxes of durable materials.
Use underground netting and screen fencing. It must go down 2 feet deep and extend one foot high above ground to work.
Humane traps positioned in the main run of the tunnel. For this one has to dig down to find the tunnel, then position the trap, preferably two traps, one facing in each direction. Put in some carrots, green beans, or lettuce. Leave the tunnel open. Gophers hate their tunnels disturbed and will try to fix them. The plus side is you know you have a gopher if it gets trapped. If the traps are not visited within 2 days, they need to be re-baited or moved elsewhere.
Juicy Fruit gum in the tunnel openings has worked for some. Spraying unscented ammonia down the tunnels has worked for others. Of course you could keep a badger or cat on hand! Badgers do love gophers, but the vote is still out on cats.
Gophers are territorial. If one colony is eliminated, it will probably soon be re-occupied by another, so sustainable long-term planning is important. Will keep you posted on the resolution of the gopher problem by the Multi-County Master Gardeners!
Oh yes, have a happy Valentine's Day.
