THE UPDATE

Summertime is here, which means the Hot Summer Nights free concert series is back.

And it couldn’t be starting off on a better note with groovy funk-band Soulive playing the Ford Amphi-

theater in Vail tonight. Guitarist and founding member

Eric Krasno said it’s been a long while since the band has played Vail, and they’re really looking for-ward to playing a fun gig tonight.

“Definitely be ready to dance,” Krasno said in an interview with the Mountaineer yesterday. “It’s

definitely groove-based music, and it’s soulful and funky. We definitely improvise and have a jazz influ-ence. So, we cover a lot of different genres, but it’s always groovin’ and soulful.”

Soulive has performed with Ste-vie Wonder and Chaka Khan, and

Last property tax payment due todayYou’re delinquent if you miss this deadline

The rest of your 2009 property taxes are due today.

“If you have not made full payment, then this deadline is for you,” said Karen Sheaffer, Eagle County Treasurer.

Eagle County collects 2009 property taxes across three payments in 2010, one in February, one in April and one today.

In Colorado, your mortgage company is supposed to escrow that money and make your payments, Sheaffer said. So check with them before you write a

check to your government that you may not have to, Sheaffer saud.

Ritter says he discussed federal jobs for RomanoffGovernor says he wanted to avoid a Dem. primary

Gov. Bill Ritter said yesterday that he discussed possible federal jobs for former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Ro-manoff with the White House shortly af-ter President Barack Obama took office, but there was never an offer to keep the Democrat from running for the Senate.

Ritter remarks to Denver radio station KOA came weeks after a flap over the White House’s contact with Romanoff about a possible administration job in hopes that he would abandon his Senate

--20.18The Dow Jones industrials were up

as many as 118 points yesterday morn-ing before the rally slowly slipped away. Greece is still enough of a con-cern that bad news about the country’s well-known problems was enough to help take down the market’s advance. Traders at first shrugged off news that credit rating agency Moody’s lowered its rating on Greece’s debt to “junk” sta-tus. But in the final hour, many traders apparently decided the safest move was to take money out of the market. They were particularly uneasy after the Dow had risen 312 points in the prior two days. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 20.18, or 0.20 percent, to 10,190.89. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 1.97, or 0.18 percent, to 1,089.63. The Nasdaq composite index rose 0.36, or 0.02 percent, to 2,243.96.

Vail Daily turns 29 today

On this day in 1981 Vail locals Jim Pavelich and Jon Van Housen started Vail’s first daily paper out of a condo in the Sandstone area of Vail.

Pavelich, a former waiter/bartender, and Van Housen, also a bartender, oper-ated the paper on a shoestring budget un-til it outgrew the condo and was moved to the Crossroads building, which has since been replaced by the better look-

EDITOR’S NOTE: Every day or two we take a cruise through some local police reports so we can bring you our favorites. The general theme is two-fold: (1) Some-times we’re all this silly, and (2) this stuff is funny be-cause it’s not happening to you … this time.

SHoTgUn BlUES: We have kids, and that’s why we’re of one mind with most other parents when we say that while we don’t know who invented the in-the-can video game player and the in-the-can movie

watcher, we wouldn’t take a family road trip without them. They’re the best application for technology we can conceive of, and we hope those inventors are filthy stinking rich. Those gadgets cut the times we hear “Are we there yet?” from numbers that make parents full-on homicidal to merely irritated. When kids make that inquiry, we can honestly say, “Plug in ‘Ice Age’ and when the prehistoric squirrel actually gets to eat the acorn, we’ll be there.” Of course, we know that the prehistoric squirrel never gets to eat the acorn.

But we digress.We don’t care how much noise the kids were making

Actually, Jane, the areas in the

Hidden Gems are already federal land. What I and a couple of thou-sand other potential voters would like to see is that it remains forever in its current pristine state rather than having gas wells, timber sales and roads all over it. This sort of

deliberate and politically motivat-ed misinformation does nothing to further educated discussion of the issue. It serves no purpose but to divide people who have more in common with each other than they do with power mad politicians who want to feed on an electorate they have made fractious.

Local hoop stars to host basketball campEagle Valley Basketball Academy back for fifth year

Two of the best basketball players in Eagle County history are returning to host the Eagle Valley Basket-ball Academy.

“It’s an opportunity to stay involved in our home town,” said Bob Pietrack, who, along with Jon Ked-rowski is running the Eagle Valley Basketball Acad-emy for the fifth year.

A big chunk of the money goes to a scholarship fund they started last year for student/athletes from area high schools.

To be eligible, you have to be a two-sport athlete with good grades.

“It’s important that they take care of business in the classroom,” said Kedrowski. “We wanted to give something back to the high school athletic program, and decided this is one way we could do it.”

Pietrack coaches basketball at Fort Lewis College in Durango. Since he started handling most of the re-cruiting, the Skyhawks have challenged for the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference crown every year. Ked-rowski played college basketball at Valparaiso, in that team’s run deep into the NCAA men’s basketball play-offs. They’re joined by Kirk Archibeque, a 6-foot-10 center who plays professionally in Europe for this year’s camp.

The fun, the fashion, the friendship: “Sex and the City 2” brings it all back and more as Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Char-lotte (Kristin Davis) and Miranda (Cynthia nixon) take another bite out of The Big Apple -- and beyond -- carrying on with their busy lives and loves in a sequel that truly sparkles.

Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films present “Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time,” an epic action-adventure set in the mystical lands of Persia. A rogue prince named Dastan (Jake gyllen-haal) reluctantly joins forces with a mysterious prin-cess Tamina (gemma Arterton) and together, they race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time—a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.

“get Him to the greek” reunites Jonah Hill and Rus-sell Brand with “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” direc-tor nicholas Stoller in the story of a record com-pany intern with two days to drag an uncooperative rock legend to Hollywood for a comeback concert. The comedy is the latest film from producer Judd Apatow (“The 40-Year-old Virgin,” “Knocked Up,” “Funny People.”)

Excellence in Teaching awards pay cash for

classroom accomplishments

In America, we pay people for excellent performance, like the local teachers on the today’s front page.

The teachers in today’s cover photo are holding cer-tificates they earned for winning Excellence in Teach-ing Awards – which is good.

They were also handed checks for $10,000, which is better.

The school board rewarded them for their work and achievement.

The local school district was given a $6.8 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The money funds school districts’ implementation of per-formance-based pay systems.

Eleven local teachers cashed in on the school district’s educator awards. In all, 34 local teachers applied.

“Right now, it feels like all the hard work was worth it,” said Melanie Bacon, one of the teachers who earned the bonus.

The awards are based on a combination of student achievement and teacher assessments.

Students sit through North West Evaluation Asso-ciation (NWEA) testing. When students perform well enough, teachers earn what the local school district calls “Superstar” status, and are eligible for these lump sum payments.

Teachers have to apply for the awards. They have to

complete six components over four months.1. Notification of Intent – They notify the district that

they’ll participate, and get building administrator con-sent.

2. Educational Professionalism – A resume, in-cluding a list of professional accomplishments. A written “philosophy of teaching” statement. Three written references, including a colleague, parent and student.

3. Teacher Quality Assessment - Three questions, timed at 20 minutes each, covering teacher profession-al practices, knowledge and content.

4. Video Evidence of Excellent Teaching – Videos of two full-length lessons with no recording stops. Teach-ers provided lesson plans and copies of materials, along with a written reflection document.

5. Student Achievement – Evidence of both high stu-dent achievement and high student growth. Evidence comes from standardized assessments, classroom as-sessments or other evidence of student work.

6. Professional Practices Evaluation Scores – Master Teacher and Administrator scores.

The local teachers are:• Kristine Atkinson, Eagle Valley Elementary School• Melanie Bacon, Gypsum Creek Middle School• Susan Brainerd, Gypsum Creek Middle School• Meredith Deem, Edwards Elementary School• Gretchen Gerleman, Eagle Valley High School• Lindsay Hawkins, Gypsum Elementary School• Amy Rogers, Red Sandstone Elementary School• Carol Wellbaum, Battle Mountain High School• Mella Wheatley, Vail Ski and Snowboard Academy• Shannon White, Edwards Elementary School• Maria Soledad Whittington, Avon Elementary School

Tonight’s Hot Summer Nights after-party scene

Stereo Assassins at Sandbar, West Vail

When they first played together last year, they were Hustle’s Ben Koelker and Pete Haugh with Frogs Gone Fishin’s Andrew Portwood and Dave Donahue of Laughing Bones. With the addition of Frogs’ Trevor Jones on keyboard, they go by the name Stereo Assas-sins.

Portwood says Stereo Assassins plays aerobic funk, covering James Brown, The Meters and funky takes on Phish and the Dead.

“We blend rhythm and soul with jam and groove and keep you moving until you’re in a full body freak out. This is a great group of funky musicians, and we bring the party,” he said.

The show starts at 10 p.m. and is free.

Supersonic Shrimp at Saltwater Cowboy, Avon

Supersonic Shrimp is a new, local, three-piece rock band featuring wizard guitarist Steve Karanbay, drum-mer Shawn McKeown and a bassist known simply as Conan.

“It’s like guitar-oriented classic rock,” says McKe-own “We’re like a power trio, doing covers of Hendrix and Cream – a lot of that sixties and seventies guitar rock – delivered with authority, like it should be. We

definitely rock it out. It’s not overly aggressive, like heavy metal, but it’s fun and high energy.”

The show starts at 9:30 p.m.

Eric Whirley at The Club, Vail Village

Local Eric Whirly has been playing guitar around town for a while in groups like Velcro Sneak-ers. He’ll be playing some of his favorite acoustic numbers to-night and all week at The Club. Check out the show and cheap

drink specials in close proximity to the Soulive show. Music starts at 10 p.m.

Fried Grease at Samana, Vail Village

“Based out of Colorado, Fried Grease cooks up a hearty blend of tight, energetic, funky soul music. Born out of the merger of two powerhouse bands, (Flux 5 and Big Richard) these guys are poised to make big waves. By incorporating elements of jazz, rock, blues and soul, the bands’ hard hitting, high energy shows are quickly becoming the buzz around the State,” says JamBase. The show is free.

The Butterfly Pavilion will pres-ent “Live Bugs! Summer Bug Safa-ri” today at the Town of Vail Public Library during the Summer Read-ing Program.

“This outreach program from the Butterfly Pavilion has come to the Town of Vail Public Library before and, as indicated by the smiles, laughter and the gasps, the children enjoyed their experience,” says Annie Sinton from the Town of Vail Public Library. “The But-terfly Pavilion is the authority on arthropods, beetles, bees, and other creatures we know as ‘bugs.’ They are also experienced in presenting this information to children in such a way that kids find fascinating.”

Denise Price, off-sight education coordinator for the Butterfly Pavil-ion in Westminster, says the work-

shop will “allow kids to get up close with live insects, spiders and other arthropods from around the world.”

The theme for the Summer Read-ing Program is “Splash into Read-ing.” Stories, games and crafts that are centered on rivers, lakes and

oceans will be a common thread each week. The Butterfly Pavilion will present in the second half of the program, following an hour of Summer Reading activities.

Children ages 6-11 may register any Tuesday to receive a packet that contains a reading log. Sum-mer Readers can then document their minutes spent reading and receive a prize for each hour. The Summer Bug Safari will take place during the second half and is for all ages. Families are welcome; chil-dren under six must be accompa-nied by an adult. The event is free of charge. For more information, call 970-479-2179 or visit www.vaillibrary.com.

Documents: BP cut corners in days before blowout

BP made a series of money-saving shortcuts and blunders that dramatically increased the danger of a destructive oil spill in a well that an engineer ominous-ly described as a “nightmare” just six days before the blowout, according to documents released yesterday that provide new insight into the causes of the disaster.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee re-leased dozens of internal documents that outline sev-eral problems on the deepsea rig in the days and weeks before the April 20 explosion.

“Time after time, it appears that BP made decisions that increased the risk of a blowout to save the com-pany time or expense,” said Democratic Reps. Henry A. Waxman and Bart Stupak.

Congressional investigators have identified several mistakes by BP in the weeks leading up to the disaster as it fell way behind on drilling the well.

BP started drilling in October, only to have the rig damaged by Hurricane Ida a month later. The company switched to the Deepwater Horizon rig and resumed drilling on Feb. 6. The rig was 43 days late for its next

drilling location by the time it exploded April 20, cost-ing BP at least $500,000 each day it was overdue, con-gressional documents show.

As BP found itself in a frantic race against time to get the job done, engineers cut corners in the well design, cementing and drilling mud efforts and the installation of safety devices known as “lockdown sleeves” and “cen-tralizers,” according to congressional investigators.

In the design of the well, the company apparently chose a riskier option among two possibilities to pro-vide a barrier to the flow of gas in space surrounding steel tubes in the well, documents and internal e-mails show. The decision saved BP $7 million to $10 million; the original cost estimate for the well was about $96 million.

Papers in Europe weather crisis better than US

European newspapers are weathering the media cri-sis better than their U.S. counterparts, a report released yesterday suggested.

The report, by the Organization for Economic Coop-eration and Development, shows that while papers in Europe also have been affected by the fallout from the economic crisis, a decline in readership and advertis-ing, and fierce competition from the Internet, they have generally been hit less hard than papers in the United States.

The U.S. newspaper publishing market declined by 30 percent between 2007 and 2009, the report said.

Britain was not far behind, losing 21 percent of its mar-ket in the same period, while Greece and Spain’s mar-kets fell by 20 and 16 percent, respectively.

However, much of Europe fared better, with the pub-lishing market declining by 10 percent in Germany, 7 percent in Portugal, Sweden and Finland, 4 percent in France, and just 2 percent in Austria, the report said.

One possible reason for Europe’s relative resilience is the continent’s lesser reliance on advertising reve-nues. In U.S. papers, ads accounted for 87 percent of revenue in 2008, while in Germany, Spain and Sweden they made up for 57 percent, with the balance coming from copy sales.

Huge obstacles seen in exploiting Afghan minerals

It could take years and possibly even a peace settle-ment for Afghanistan to reap profits from nearly $1 tril-lion in mineral resources that U.S. geologists say lie beneath its rugged terrain — some in areas currently controlled by Taliban insurgents or warlords.

Geologists have known for decades that Afghani-stan has vast mineral wealth, but a U.S. Department of Defense briefing this week put a startling price tag on the country’s reserves of iron, copper, cobalt, gold and other prized minerals: at least $908 billion.

If impoverished Afghanistan is seen as having a bright economic future, that could help foreign govern-ments persuade their war-fatigued publics that securing the country is worth the fight and loss of troops. It also could give Afghans hope, U.S. officials say.

Still, without increased security and massive invest-ment to mine and transport the minerals, it could take years for Afghanistan to bank the rewards. And there’s always the potential that such a discovery could bring unintended consequences, including corruption and civil war.

The quintessential Las Vegas or Atlantic City casino experience comes with card dealers in ties, feather-festooned showgirls and the most coveted amenity: the free drink.

Yet as casino gambling has migrated to middle Amer-ica, the complimentary cocktail hasn’t automatically survived the trip. Ohio approved casinos last year and

soon will join four other Midwestern states in banning free alcoholic drinks at the establishments.

So healthy, you’re practically glowing

We fret about airport scanners, power lines, cell phones and even microwaves. It’s true that we get too much radiation. But it’s not from those sources—it’s from too many medical tests.

Americans get the most medical radiation in the world, even more than folks in other rich countries. The U.S. accounts for half of the most advanced procedures that use radiation, and the average American’s dose has grown sixfold over the last couple of decades.

Too much radiation raises the risk of cancer. That risk is growing because people in everyday situations are getting imaging tests far too often. Like the New Hampshire teen who was about to get a CT scan to check for kidney stones until a radiologist, Dr. Steven Birnbaum, discovered he’d already had 14 of these powerful X-rays for previous episodes. Adding up the total dose, “I was horrified” at the cancer risk it posed, Birnbaum said.

NRA won’t have to disclose campaign

contributionsBowing to pressure from the National Rifle Associa-

tion, House Democrats agreed yesterday to exempt the powerful gun owners’ lobby from key portions of leg-islation imposing new disclosure requirements on cam-paign advertising and other political activity.

The legislation is designed to roll back a recent Su-preme Court ruling and generally requires organiza-tions to disclose their top donors if they sponsor politi-cal television commercials or pay for mass mailings in the months leading to an election. Under a change ne-gotiated over the weekend, the NRA would be exempt based on its length in existence, size of membership and other factors—a concession demanded by the powerful lobby and sought by Democratic allies in the House. Other organizations meeting the same set of criteria would also be exempt, but officials said late last night they were not immediately able to name any.

Armstrong team unhappy at Spanish Vuelta snub

ATHLETIC STUFF

Lance Armstrong’s RadioShack team complained of unfair treat-ment yesterday after being refused an invitation to take part in the Spanish Vuelta.

The Vuelta organizers announced the 22 teams that will compete in this year’s race. Sixteen teams were preselected under an agreement be-tween race organizers and the In-ternational Cycling Union (UCI), including Astana, Quick Step and Euskaltel-Euskadi. Another six received invitations: Andalucia-Cajasur, Xacobeo-Galicia, Cervelo TestTeam, Team Sky, Katusha and Garmin-Transitions.

RadioShack was the most promi-nent absentee.

“They told us we were not select-ed because other teams were bet-ter in their eyes. We are not happy about it,” team spokesman Philippe

Maertens said. “If you’re not invited to a party, you cannot go to court to say ‘Hey, I want to be at that party.’ It’s not fair, it’s not logical… That’s life.”

Armstrong and RadioShack are currently competing in the Tour of Switzerland.

Seven-time Tour de France win-ner Armstrong was not expected to be available to compete in the Aug. 28-Sept. 19 Vuelta because he will be attempting to win the French race again this year. But other teammates would have competed in Spain.

The RadioShack team also in-cludes 2010 Dauphine winner Janez Brajkovic, Levi Leipheimer and Andreas Kloden.

Team manager Johan Bruyneel reacted angrily to the omission, say-ing it’s “high time for ‘professional’ cycling to become professional.”

“In cycling there are three parties: UCI, organizers and teams/riders,” he said in a statement released by the team. “Unlike in other profes-sional sports, the teams and riders are the main actors who are never heard. I will fight for our rights and for other things that rightfully be-long to us but we never get. There is an abuse of power. Some organiz-ers take away the hunger of poten-tial sponsors to invest in our sport. It is unjust that a new sponsor, com-ing into cycling with a lot of en-thusiasm, is not rewarded for their financial input. For me it is hard to explain to my sponsor that 21 other teams are apparently better than us. Especially when it isn’t true.”

The Vuelta is considered among the world’s top three multi-stage races, along with the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia.

Schleck wins 3rd stage of Tour of Switzerland

Frank Schleck of Luxembourg led a late breakaway yesterday to win the third stage of the Tour of Swit-zerland, while Lance Armstrong gained ground in the standings.

Germany’s Tony Martin of Team HTC-Columbia took the overall race lead from Swiss rider Fabian Can-cellara in the 122.4-mile trek from Sierre to Schwarzen-burg featuring a climb up the Mosses Pass.

The race is Armstrong’s last before he embarks on

his bid for an eighth Tour de France victory when the sport’s main event starts July 3.

Asked if he thought Armstrong could win the Tour de France, Schleck replied: “Yes, I do. … You ask me about anybody else and I would say no.”

“But you’re talking about Lance.”Armstrong did not take questions after the stage, but

tweeted congratulations to Schleck and his “impressive ride.”

Italian prosecutor opens mechanical doping inquiry

An Italian prosecutor has opened an investigation into allegations of so-called mechanical doping—or motorized bikes that could help cy-clists cheat.

The ANSA news agency reported that Turin-based prosecutor Raffa-ele Guariniello had opened a sport-ing fraud investigation.

Guariniello has previously led several high-profile probes on dop-

ing and other sporting frauds.Last month, former professional

cyclist Davide Cassani said he has tested a motorized bike that could help a rider cheat. Cassani’s reports for Italian television have fueled speculation that mechanical doping could rival performance-enhancing drugs as a threat to the sport.

Recent speculation has focused on Swiss rider Fabian Cancellara,

who denied earlier this month that he won Paris-Roubaix and the Tour of Flanders this year with the help of an electric bike. Cancellara dis-missed the rumors.

“It’s so crazy that I haven’t any-thing to say,” he told Swiss media earlier this month. “I don’t feel like spending much time on such a stu-pid story.”

they’ve opened for the likes of the Rolling Stones, Dave Mathews Band and the Roots.

“It was pretty epic for us to be able to open for the Rolling Stones,” Krasno said. “They’re obviously hugely legendary. So, I would have to say that’s the top of the list, but we’ve definitely been really lucky in that department.”

It has been 11 years since Krasno, Alan Evans and his brother Neal got together in a home studio and recorded their first album “Get Down.”

And, while the band has endured, grown and morphed over the years, always consistent has been “Neal’s club-shaking left hand pounding out bass lines, Alan’s ride propel-ling the music forward and Eric’s solos soaring on top,” the group says. “Every show has that moment where Neal leans on the organ up high and the whole band breaks free. Every Soulive fan knows that moment.”

The band tours all over the world in places like Ghana, Russia, Eu-rope and Brazil, but Krasno says one of his favorate places to play a gig is Japan, where they recently returned from a tour.

“There’s a festival there called the Fugi Rock Festival. It’s a really amazing festival,” Krasno said. “I love Japan and Japanese culture. One of the things I love about music is being able to explore and travel and experience different arts and music around the world.”

Always trying new thingsFor the last 11 years, Soulive has

constantly been experimenting with new sounds and new ideas, so to not stagnate as artists by riding out one particular sound for too long.

While they recently got back in the studio to work on a new proj-ect, they’ve also completed and will soon be releasing an instru-mental Beatles tribute album “Rub-ber Soulive,” which plays off the iconic 1965 Beatles record “Rubber Soul.”

“It was an idea that just kind of popped into out heads when we were listen to the remastered Beat-les stuff,” Krasno said. “It was re-ally just for fun at first; we were just going to record a few tracks, and next thing we knew we had fifteen tracks or whatever. It was just a re-ally fun spontaneous idea.”

Krasno said that pursuing sponta-neous ideas like “Rubber Soulive” is made easier now that they have their own record label called Royal

Family Records, as well as their own recording studio.

“As the major labels started to crumble, we realized we didn’t real-ly need them anymore, and we also had a lot of ideas for records that we wanted to put out that the major labels wouldn’t totally support.”

Since forming Royal Family Re-cords, the label has put out “Up Here” by Soulive, Krasno’s solo record “Reminisce” and the soon to be released instrumental Beatles record.

“We’re definitely really busy, between studio time and touring – it’s busy. But we manage to make it happen,” he said. “I feel very blessed that I play for a living. It’s what I always wanted to do.”

The show starts at 6:30 p.m. with the doors opening at 5:30 p.m. The forecast is calling for clear skies.

coaching crew, and they’re adding a second camp at Berry Creek Middle School.

Kedrowski spent four years as a high school head coach (2003-2006) at Berean Academy high school in Tampa, Florida, and two years for the Corvallis Blue Devils in Western Montana. He’s finishing his Ph.D. in geography with Texas State University and also works as an advance scout with Fort Lewis College.

The camp will include master teachers for both of-fensive and defensive basketball fundamentals, along with experienced and successful coaches from college and high school programs. The talks will focus on edu-cation, goal setting, discipline, and teamwork.

“Our philosophy is that life is more than basketball, and many aspects of basketball carry over to real life,” Pietrack said.

payments: $48.5 million in February, $61 million in April and the rest due today.

If your payment is postmarked by today, you’ll be fine.

If it’s not, they’ll send you a delinquent tax notice in July. They’ll follow that with a round of phone calls in August.

If you still don’t pay, the Treasurer’s office will make your property part of a delinquent tax sale.

Someone will actually bid for the right to pay your taxes, which they can do for up to three years. If you still don’t pay your taxes, the investor who paid your taxes all three years can apply for a deed to your house, and you could lose it.

U.S. dollars are duePayments must be made in U.S. funds and drawn on

a U.S. bank. Make checks payable to Eagle County Treasurer and mail them to P.O. Box 479, Eagle CO 81631. Be sure to include your account number on your check.

Payments can also be made by credit card or elec-tronic check online, or by calling 1-800-272-9829.

Like all credit card transactions, their credit card ven-dor will charge you to pay by credit card. There is no charge for electronic check payments.

If you don’t know how much you owe, call the Eagle County Treasurer’s Office at 970-328-8860.

If you have not paid any of your 2009 property taxes, you can still make a full payment. However, the full payment deadline was April 30, and interest is now due.

Call the Eagle County Treasurer’s Office and they’ll tell you how much that is.

bid against Sen. Michael Bennet, whom Obama has backed.

Both the White House and Ro-manoff have said there was no job offer, and Romanoff remains a can-didate in Colorado’s Aug. 10 Dem-ocratic primary.

In his radio remarks, Ritter said he also wanted to avoid a Demo-cratic primary, but it had nothing to do with job offers.

“I did talk with the White House very early on about a list of people and Andrew Romanoff was one of them. I never was involved in any other conversation, and certainly after Andrew had decided to run for the U.S. Senate, I have never had any conversation about trying to find him a job,” Ritter said.

Ritter, who appointed Bennet to his Senate position, said he did urge Romanoff not to challenge Bennet for the Democratic primary.

“I told him I thought that was a bad idea,” Ritter said.

Ritter also said he had conver-sations with former White House adviser Donald Gibbs, now U.S. ambassador to South Africa, about possible positions for Romanoff, who had indicated he might like an international assignment. He said no jobs were ever offered.

“I wouldn’t say they were high-level conversations,” Ritter said.

Roy Teicher, Romanoff’s spokes-man, said Monday he was unaware of Ritter’s statements and had no immediate reaction.

Before the Colorado matter, Obama had come under fire for try-ing to keep quiet a similar Pennsyl-vania episode involving Rep. Joe Sestak’s challenge to Sen. Arlen Specter. That led Republicans to denounce “Chicago-style politics” and accuse Obama of breaking his clean-politics promises.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs subsequently said that as leaders of their parties, pres-idents have an interest in ensuring that supporters don’t run against each other in contested elections. He said when it comes to person-ally persuading a candidate to step aside, Obama is not aware of the individual circumstances.

in the back seat with their toy guns, you do not throw them out by the side of the I-70 on ramp in West Vail.

The gun, not the kids.People get panicky about unattended guns lying

about the roadside, and they call the police, who have better things to do, like set up speed taps in the parking structures.

Be that as it may, the Vail police received a call about a potentially deadly firearm lying unattended by the roadside.

So, the police rolled out to the West Vail on ramp with the report that it was a shotgun.

As it turned out, it as a black Smith & Wesson “Air-soft” shotgun, one of those toy guns that comes com-plete with lots and lots of warnings that you should never, ever fire one at another human being, but also come complete with eye goggles to protect your peep-ers because they know your kids are going to anyway, just like you had BB gun battles when you were a kid.

Airsoft guns shoot plastic pellets, as opposed to the BB guns that shoot little copper projectiles, which you use to shoot at your neighbor’s cat when you were a kid.
