THE UPDATE

The Vail Recreation District’s summer Mountain Bike Race Series gears up to-night with the Hammer in the Hay race at 4 Eagle Ranch in Wolcott.

The annual spring opener takes riders ages eight and older through the fields

surrounding the working-ranch with dis-tances ranging from 4 miles for youth racers to 16 miles for the pro and expert racers. Competitors will be able to pre-ride the course at 4 p.m.

The Hammer in the Hay kicks off what should be the best VRD mountain bike race season yet with an extended sched-ule and additional race categories.

New race this yearVRD has added an eighth race to this

year’s series at the Boneyard in Eagle. The “Boneyard Brawl” will run up County Road 21 and come down the East Eagle single-track. Each lap will be about six miles.

“We did a post-race survey last year, and one of the questions that we asked

was if people would like to see the race series grow. The majority of people said they’d like to see races added,” said VRD Sports Coordinator Beth Papas.

Last year, the VRD Race Series grew 14 percent in adult riders with over 1,500 racers competing for $5,200 in cash and $30,000 in prizes. The Youth Mountain

ALLEGEDLY! You have the right to remain silent, use it!

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.

CoCAinE KiD: The Cocaine Kid had marijuana in his car’s ash tray, a one-hitter pipe in the console and a bindle of cocaine in his wallet. That wallet also contained an ID card with names that did not match the Cocaine Kid’s, but did match a guy in whom Immigration and Customs Enforcement had a keen interest. Well, he was weaving like an Egyptian rug maker, which attracted the attention of a Sheriff’s deputy. When he pulled over, he volunteered that he’d had between eight and 10 beers at a local libation location. When the deputy asked if he could search the Cocaine Kid’s vehicle, the Kid said something like, “Sure, but you’ll never find that pot in the console.” The deputy, a highly trained law enforcement professional, looked all over the car, including the console, and found the pot. A quick look through the Cocaine Kid’s wallet turned up a couple fake IDs and a Social Security card he bought from a guy in Denver who was not affiliated with the Social Security Administration in any way. It did not, however, turn up a medical marijuana card. “Nope, my marijuana is not medical, it’s fun,” the kid said, or words to that effect. The deputy had little or no choice but to slap the cuffs on The Kid and haul him off to the Eagle County Crossbar Hotel.

On the way there, about the time they hit Wolcott headed east, the Cocaine Kid smashed his head up against that metal cage that separates those being trans-ported from those providing the transportation. Wheth-er he was trying to create the kind of chronic condition that could easily be treated with medical marijuana – such as a chronic lack of really good dope – remains unclear. The Cocaine Kid then writhed in pain on the back seat, complaining that the handcuffs were too darned tight and were ever so uncomfortable. He did not mention his head, which he scuffed up pretty badly banging it on the metal cage in front of him and be-

hind the deputy. What is as clear as a mountain stream, though, is that when the ambulance guys showed up to take a look at him, they asked him if he’d been using drugs that night. “Yes,” he said. “I used cocaine.” He said right out loud and in the Crossbar Hotel’s check-in area, where everything is recorded and video taped. So, while The Cocaine Kid was in such an expansive frame of mind, the deputies asked him what else they might find in the Great Cop Computer. “Well, there’s probably a warrant,” the Kid said. Sure enough, they found a felony warrant for eluding and DUI, so ob-viously this was not the Cocaine Kid’s first rodeo. A quick look through his pockets also turned up Deena Ezell’s business card. Deena, whose heart is pure as the driven snow, is the Victims Advocate with the Sher-iff’s office. When asked how he came to have Deena’s card, The Cocaine Kid said something like, “I’m pretty sure I was victimized in some way.” They booked him into the Eagle County Crossbar Hotel, where he’d have plenty of time to consider ways to actually apply the line from his Miranda Rights, “You have the right to remain silent ...”

no MAS: The deputy who investigated the robbery learned the following: The motion detector was not working, the motion-activated outside light was broken, the security system was not set, the cash was left on top of the safe because they don’t know the combination – and they had the nerve to act surprised when someone stole a bunch of booze and money. They actually called the cops, who asked if all the aforementioned stuff was in good working order. Because it’s bad to lie to a police officer, they said, “Officer I cannot tell a lie ...” Eventually, they lazered their way to the heart of the matter, and learned that about $700 in cash and $750 in booze had been stolen. That’s 27 cases of beer and bunch of those single-drink shooter bottles of liquor. It turns out that the people involved were about the only ones who didn’t know the combination to the safe. It’s been around for years, and hundreds of employees – past and present – know it. So it probably wouldn’t do much good to put anything in the safe anyway. So, if someone threw the party of the year and you were there, you have disabled technology to thank for your memories – or lack of memories.

open space back on the radarProposal covers 126 acres along Colorado River north of Dotsero

The county could buy 126 acres for open space along the Colorado River north of Dotsero.

The Coyote River Ranch features almost a mile of river frontage along the Colorado River Road.

Carl Berger wants $1.86 million for it. It appraised last fall for $2.3 million.

Who would pay, and how much they’d come up with remains to be determined, but it’s important that the deal is done as quickly as pos-sible, said Kara Heide, director of the Eagle Valley Land Trust.

The county could be in for be-tween 60-65 percent of that $1.86 million. The commissioners, in dis-cussing it yesterday, were suggest-ing $1.2 million from the county’s dedicated open space funds.

Groups like GOCO want to know how much locals value a proposal like this, said Tom Edwards with the Open Space Advisory Council.

“It’s important that the money you put in is significant enough to make other organizations under-stand you’re serious about this,” Edwards said.

The Open Space Advisory Com-mittee gave it two thumbs way up.

Includes public accessThere could be some public as-

sess. Along the Colorado River Road you’d have to pull off. On the

side of the river, boaters, tubers and fishermen would have access by floating along the river.

Heide said local rafting compa-nies run thousands of clients through there during the boating season. Because it’s relatively calm water, they can take 3-year olds along this stretch of river, she said.

It comes with some water rights. It has lots or riparian area and wild-life habitat because the Colorado River runs through it.

“Conservation easements with no public access are a bitter pill to swallow,” Berger said.

A conservation easement would cost $1.2 million, but would pro-vide little or no public access.

Historic spotThe ranch was homesteaded in

1902 by the Yost family, the origi-nal homesteaders in this area. Gang-ster Diamond Jack used to hide out there. The stage coach used to run through it. A mining company that owned it ran a boarding house.

Berger will hang onto about 40 acres near the Dotsero interchange. An open space purchase would cre-ate a buffer from the agricultural and rural lands up the river and whatever might happen in Dotsero, Heide said.

The Greenport train people want to put some workforce housing and a train depot on some of it. There are a few people who’ve looked at it over the years for commercial

projects, including gravel mining by some local companies.

The Colorado River corridor had been identified as one of the 24 most important areas to conserve, by the statewide open space trust fund. It’s part of an effort to preserve as much of the river corridor as pos-sible, Heide said.

“The need is today and the op-portunity is today,” Heide said. “We wouldn’t bring this to you if we didn’t feel very strongly about this file. We turn many, many files away.”

Sleepy Hollow Ranch, tooThe Coyote River Ranch is the

second open space proposal the commissioners have seen in two weeks. Last week it was the Sleepy Hollow Ranch, 85 acres along Brush Creek, up the Brush Creek Valley south of Eagle.

The owners are asking $3 million. The ranch appraised at $4.3 million in 2006. The commissioners say they like the Sleepy Hollow Ranch, but aren’t certain how they’d pay for it or what they’d do with it. The ranch is at the entrance to Sylvan Lake State Park and is surrounded on two sides by federal Forest Ser-vice land.

The county’s Open Space Ad-visory Council was talking about funding about half the asking price. The state parks service doesn’t have any money right now.

The Sleepy Hollow Ranch is scheduled to return on June 8.

For Democrats, the newly minted crossover voters who helped elect Ba-rack Obama president in 2008 are dis-playing a rugged individualist streak and echoing tea party-type distrust of all things Washington. This is haunting the party as it struggles to keep control of Congress.

Consider the perspective of Kevin Ladd.

Hundreds of Democrats crowded the stage recently here in Colorado to see Vice President Joe Biden promote a fac-tory expansion. But not Ladd, who sat on the back bumper of an electric vehi-cle outside the auditorium.

Ladd invested in the company that helped make the car and came to cele-brate the expansion, financed in part by a federal stimulus grant. But the 47-year-old homebuilder says his business is down, and after abandoning his lifelong Republican affiliation to vote for Obama two years ago, Ladd isn’t sure about Democrats this year.

“I think a lot of swing voters are ques-tioning their decision,” Ladd said. “Pres-ident Obama promised change. I wish we saw more change.”

Democrats in the West are struggling to keep these new voters who helped the party turn Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico from Republican to Democratic in the presidential election just months after the party’s national convention in Denver. Westerners who also helped elect a raft of Democrats to the House and Senate now appear to be wavering.

They’re worried about federal spend-ing. They’re anxious about a new health care law in a region where a doctor can be several hours’ drive away. They’re afraid that Democrats’ climate-change proposals will kill jobs in oil and gas fields. Illegal immigration dominates the debate, and opponents of Arizona’s new immigration law don’t see a salient alter-native coming from Democrats.

Vulnerable Democrats can be found in every Western state:

—Democrats hold both of Colorado’s Senate seats for the first time since the 1970s. Sen. Michael Bennet, who was appointed to office to replace Interior

Secretary Ken Salazar, was outpolled by challenger Andrew Romanoff at a state Democratic assembly last weekend, a result that party officials said they an-ticipated. The two will meet in a primary Aug. 10. The winner will probably face former Lt. Gov. Jane Norton.

—Colorado Rep. Betsy Markey, who joined Biden on the factory visit, ousted a three-term Republican in 2008, but the GOP still holds a registration advantage in her sprawling district. Markey’s votes in favor of the health care overhaul and a cap-and-trade climate plan could cost her in November.

—Senate leader Harry Reid of Nevada is trailing in polls in his bid for a fifth term. The state’s home foreclosure rate is the highest, and the unemployment rate of 13.7 percent in April is above the national average — scary numbers for any incumbent.

—In southern New Mexico, Rep. Har-ry Teague voted against the health care overhaul but has been dogged by criti-

cism over health insurance. As Congress was debating the plan, Teague dropped employer-based health coverage for 250 of his employees at Cavaloz Energy. Now Teague faces Republican former Rep. Steve Pearce, who gave up the seat that spans southern New Mexico to run for the Senate in 2008.

—Republicans think they can regain an Idaho district they narrowly lost in 2008. Democratic Rep. Walt Minnick has won an endorsement from the right-leaning Tea Party Express, the lone Democrat getting the group’s backing. But Minn-ick is the first Democrat Idahoans have sent to Congress since 1992. The GOP chooses a challenger Tuesday.

—Arizona Reps. Harry Mitchell, Ann Kirkpatrick and Gabrielle Giffords are all in their first or second terms and rep-resent districts that chose Republicans John McCain and George W. Bush in the last two presidential contests.

The outlook has even left-leaning ac-tivists worried that the Democrats may

be in for some tough losses this fall.“We’re not really Democrat, we’re not

really Republican. We’re independent, and we want results,” said Bobby Clark, head of the Denver-based ProgressNow Colorado group, a liberal group that played a role in turning out voters for Obama two years ago.

Clark says it’s “absolutely possible” for Democrats to hold onto Western gains this campaign season. But he con-cedes that Democrats have their work cut out for them to keep Westerners engaged after two years of partisan wrangling in Congress.

“We’ve all had a front-row seat to the sausage-making in D.C., and that’s frus-trating for people out here. They worked hard, they helped elect a Democratic majority and they want to see change,” Clark said.

Republicans insist that Westerners are so turned off by Democratic rule in Washington that they’ll swing hard to the right this fall. Joanna Burgos, a spokeswoman for the National Repub-lican Congressional Committee whose district includes the interior West, said Republicans here are finding swing vot-ers alarmed with the Democrats they’ve helped elect.

“The momentum in the West is differ-ent,” said Burgos. “People in the West are a little more independent, and they’re not as open to the government getting in-volved in their lives, from health care to energy. They’re seeing government in-trusion, and they don’t like it.”

In her pitch to voters, Markey talks about her real-world experience.

At a Denver fundraiser with Biden af-ter the factory visit, Markey highlighted her background as owner of a coffee-and-ice-cream shop and said voters here are more interested in thoughtful law-makers, not partisan ones.

“I think that when people try to see the world through the tinged glasses of Democrat or Republican, that becomes an excuse to throw away critical think-ing,” she said.

Director Ridley Scott and actor Russell Crowe re-unite for their fifth big-screen outing, a retelling of the Robin Hood legend featuring the “Gladiator” star in the titular role. A bowman in the army of Rich-ard Coeur de Lion, virtuous rogue Robin Hood rises from an unlikely background to become a hero to the impoverished people of nottingham and lover to the beautiful Lady Marion (Cate Blanchett). Cyrus Voris, Ethan Reiff, and Brian Helgeland collaborate on the screenplay for a costume adventure produced by Bri-an Grazer (“Frost/nixon,” “American Gangster”).

When a young American (Amanda Seyfried) trav-els to the city of Verona, home of the star-crossed lover Juliet Capulet of Romeo and Juliet fame, she joins a group of volunteers who respond to letters to Juliet seeking advice about love. After answering one letter dated 1957, she inspires its author (Van-essa Redgrave) to travel to italy in search of her long-lost love, and sets off a chain of events that will bring a love into both their lives unlike anything they ever imagined in “Letters to Juliet.”

in “iron Man 2,” the world is aware that billionaire inventor Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is the ar-mored Super Hero iron Man. Under pressure from the government, the press and the public to share his technology with the military, Tony is unwilling to divulge the secrets behind the iron Man armor because he fears the information will slip into the wrong hands. With Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Pal-trow), and James “Rhodey” Rhodes (Don Cheadle) at his side, Tony forges new alliances and confronts powerful new forces.

After the success of the first three films in the Shrek series, a fourth entry appears with more adventures of Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, and Puss in Boots. But in addition to all the laughs the first three films have brought, “Shrek Forever After” features a whole new element in the series: 3-D animation.

borders Mexico. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer’s spokesman said the gov-

ernor hadn’t been told of the move prior to her office being contacted by The Associated Press and had no immediate comment.

In 2006, President George W. Bush sent thousands of troops to the border to perform support duties that tie up immigration agents. The troops wouldn’t perform significant law enforcement duties.

That program has since ended, and politicians in bor-der states have called for troops to be sent there to curb human and drug smuggling and prevent Mexico’s drug violence from spilling over into the United States.

GOP Senator: Obama needs Valium

If President Barack Obama thought having a private lunch with Republican senators would ease partisan tensions in Congress, he grabbed the wrong recipe.

The president walked into a remarkably contentious 80-minute session Tuesday in which GOP senators ac-cused him of duplicity, audacity and unbending parti-sanship. Lawmakers said the testy exchange left legis-lative logjams intact, and one GOP leader said nothing is likely to change before the November elections.

Obama’s sharpest accuser was Bob Corker of Ten-nessee, a first-term senator who feels the administra-tion undermined his efforts to craft a bipartisan finan-cial regulation bill.

“I told him I thought there was a degree of audac-ity in him even showing up today after what happened with financial regulation,” Corker told reporters. “I just wanted him to tell me how, when he wakes up in the morning, comes over to a luncheon like ours today, how does he reconcile that duplicity?”

Four people who were in the room said Obama bristled and defended his administration’s handling of negotia-tions. On the way out, Corker said, Obama approached him and both men repeated their main points.

“I told him there was a tremendous disconnect from his words and the actions of his administration,” Cork-er said.

White House spokesman Bill Burton, who attended the session in the Capitol, said the exchange “was actu-ally pretty civil.”

The senators applauded Obama, who had request-ed the luncheon, when he entered and left the room. Obama told reporters as he departed, “It was a good, frank discussion about a whole range of issues.”

Some Republicans were less kind. “He needs to take a Valium before he comes in and

talks to Republicans,” Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., told reporters. “He’s pretty thin-skinned.”

There she is … back on network TV

Miss America is getting back to network television in time for her 90th birthday.

Pageant officials told The Associated Press that the beauty competition has signed a three-year deal with ABC, with plans to air next year’s pageant live on Jan. 15.

ABC was Miss America’s former network home, but the pageant was dropped after record-low ratings in 2004.

Miss America Organization Chairman Sam Haskell declined to discuss specific numbers but says the deal is better than others the pageant has had the past five years.

Miss America found itself without a TV deal in March after cable network TLC declined to pick up a three-year option.

This year’s pageant—won by Miss Virginia Caressa Cameron—was No. 1 on cable the night it aired, ex-cluding movies.

Palin can see writer from her house

Sarah Palin has taken to her Facebook page to com-plain about her new neighbor—a writer penning a book about her.

Author Joe McGinniss has taken up residence in a house next to Palin’s lakeside home in Wasilla.

McGinniss previously wrote a critical expose on Palin and her natural gas pipeline plan for the Conde Nast publication Portfolio last year, and is planning a book about the former Alaska gover-nor and GOP vice presidential can-didate. It’s tentatively titled, “Sarah Palin’s Year of Living Dangerously” and could be on the shelves in the fall of 2011.

“Yes, that Joe McGinniss. Here he is about 15 feet away on the neigh-bor’s rented deck overlooking my children’s play area and my kitchen window,” Palin posted on Facebook late Monday, hours after returning from a trip to the Lower 48 and learning of McGinniss’ presence.

“We’re sure to have a doozey to look forward to with this treasure he’s penning. Wonder what kind of ma-terial he’ll gather while overlooking Piper’s bedroom, my little garden, and the family’s swimming hole?” she wrote.

McGinniss is renting the place “for the next five months or so,” Palin wrote.

Neither McGinniss nor his agent were available for comment Tuesday.

BP to show ‘top kill’ videoBP has agreed at the request of the Obama admin-

istration to show video of the “top kill” designed to choke off the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

The company plans to try to execute the tricky proce-dure as early as dawn Wednesday. It’s the latest attempt to plug the devastating oil leak.

The “top kill” involves force-feeding heavy drilling mud and cement onto the leak.

BP started showing live feed of the leak itself after pressure from the Obama administration. Lawmakers had said they had learned that the “top kill” procedure would not be shown.

The company said in a statement Tuesday that it will display the video. The decision came after discussions with the federal official overseeing the spill response, Coast Guard Commandant Thad Allen.

Judge paroles rebel-aiding woman … and her one-year-old son

A judge granted parole Tuesday to Lori Berenson, the 40-year-old New York activist who has spent 15 years in Peruvian prisons on a conviction of aiding left-ist rebels.

Judge Jessica Leon granted a request by Berenson, who gave birth a year ago, for conditional release at a hearing at the Lima prison where the American has been held since January 2009.

She said, however, that Berenson cannot leave Peru until her sentence for terrorist collaboration ends in November 2015.

Berenson nodded assent but did not speak when asked by the judge if she accepted the decision. Bespec-tacled and wearing earrings, with her braided brown hair hanging over an embroidered sweater, Berenson looked serene during the one-hour hearing.

“I’m happy with the sentence because justice was done,” said her lawyer, Anibal Apari, who is also father of Berenson’s child, Salvador.

Apari said Berenson, whom he met in prison and married in 2003, would be freed within 24 hours. Their child has been living with his mother in prison since his birth last May.

Apari is a former member of the Tupac Amaru Revo-lutionary Movement, or MRTA, the now defunct leftist band of which Berenson was convicted of helping.

Guy who owns Citgo’s economy shrinks

Venezuela’s economy shrank 5.8 percent in the first quarter from the same period a year earlier, the Central Bank said Tuesday in a report that revealed a deepen-ing recession for the OPEC member.

The economy was pulled down in the first three months by a 5 percent decline in the key oil sector, a 6 percent decrease in the private sector and a whopping 27.9 percent fall in private investment, the bank said. The further drop came after a 3.3 percent contraction for all of 2009.

The economic downturn coincides with 30 percent inflation that has become a major challenge for Presi-dent Hugo Chavez’s socialist government. Venezuela has had the highest inflation in Latin America for five years despite government price controls on many foods and other basics.

Venezuela has not seen such tough times since 2003, when the economy contracted 26.7 percent in the first quarter in the aftermath of a failed coup attempt against Chavez and an opposition-led strike by oil industry workers.

The 5 percent decline in the oil sector in the first quarter was a major blow, since Venezuela’s economy is highly reliant on oil sales—accounting for 94 percent of the country’s export earnings.

The Central Bank attributed the first-quarter results to a range of factors, including a temporary restriction in the amount of dollars allocated by the government for imports, less consumer demand and investment, and a severe drought that forced electricity rationing because Venezuela relies largely on a single hydroelectric dam.

Drug-related violence leaves 31 dead in Jamaica

Jamaican soldiers and police skirmished yesterday with armed supporters of a fugitive-alleged drug lord facing U.S. extradition in the third day of violence that has killed 31 people, mostly young civilians, reports Reuters. The United States wants Christopher “Dudus” Coke, 42, extradited to the states for charges relating to running guns and drugs. Yesterday, members of the security forces went door to door looking for Coke, re-sulting in a bloodbath in Coke’s “garrison” stronghold, the Tivoli Gardens slum of West Kingston. In that area, Coke has “an army of young gunmen,” according to U.S. prosecutors.

The Reuters report said police had detained more than 200 people and seized firearms.

“U.S. prosecutors have described Coke as the leader of the ‘Shower Posse,’ which murdered hundreds of people by showering them with bullets during the co-caine wars of the 1980s,” according to the report. “He was indicted in Manhattan in 2009 on charges of con-spiracy to traffic in drugs and guns, charges that carry a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.”

SPRING TUNE

Roddick wins first roundATHLETIC STUFF

Andy Roddick accumulated some match time on his least favorite surface Tuesday digging himself out of a hole and coming back to beat Jarkko Nieminen of Finland 6-2, 4-6, 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-3 in the French Open’s first round.

Roddick’s preparation for this French Open was hard-ly traditional. He skipped a clay-court event in Rome so he could celebrate his one-year wedding anniversary with his wife, Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model Brooklyn Decker. He missed another tuneup tourna-ment in Madrid because of a stomach virus.

Scrambling to get set, Roddick played a couple of hastily arranged exhibitions and practiced a bunch at Roland Garros with fellow pro Mardy Fish, a pal since high school.

“It’s kind of like when you miss an assignment in school, and they give you a chance to get extra credit. I’ve been trying real hard to get extra credit … and I definitely wasn’t match-tough,” the sixth-seeded Rod-

dick said. “There was a lot of ugliness out there today. But at the end of it, I get to play again.”

Roddick and Fish are among five U.S. men into the second round, equaling the largest contingent at this Grand Slam tournament since six made it in 1998. Rod-dick, the 2003 U.S. Open champion, hadn’t competed on clay since last year’s French Open, when he reached the fourth round.

Henin back in the swing of thingsLast year, Justine Henin attended

the French Open from the stands, watching other players go through the physical and mental duress of tennis.

Back then, she said Monday, “I never thought, ‘Well, I’ll be on this court again.”’

Yet there Henin was, on the red clay of the main stadium at Roland Garros, competing in the tourna-ment for the first time since 2007.

Oh, and a victory, Henin’s 22nd in a row at the French Open. The

Belgian also stretched her streak to 37 consecutive sets won at the clay-court Grand Slam tournament by beating 81st-ranked Tsvetana Pironkova of Bulgaria 6-4, 6-3 Monday.

“When I woke up, and before walking on the court, I didn’t know really what to expect and how I was going to deal with my emotions,” the 27-year-old Henin said. “It’s my tournament.”

She certainly did make it her own before deciding in 2008, right be-

fore the start of that year’s French Open, to walk away from the game, saying she no longer felt the nec-essary fire burning inside. Henin won titles at Roland Garros in 2003 and 2005-07, which is why she is considered a favorite for the 2010 title, even though she is seeded only 22nd. Seedings are based on rank-ings, and her standing is limited to points she has accumulated since returning to the tour at the start of the season.

Stefano Garzelli wins stage-16 at GiroDavid Arroyo Duran of Spain hangs onto overall lead

Stefano Garzelli won an arduous mountain time trial ahead of world champion Cadel Evans in the 16th stage of the Giro d’Italia on Tuesday.

David Arroyo Duran of Spain held onto the overall lead and showed he won’t be easy to pass before the race ends in Verona on Sunday.

Garzelli, who won the Giro 10 years ago, finished in 41 minutes, 28 seconds in the 8-mile, uphill leg from San Vigilio di Marebbe to Plan de Corones. Evans fin-ished 42 seconds behind and John Gadret of France was third.

Ivan Basso finished sixth in the stage, 1:10 behind, to move up from third to second overall, 2:27 behind Arroyo Duran. Richie Porte of Australia dropped to third overall, 2:36 behind, and Evans moved up a spot to fourth.

With snow lining the route, the stage was made even

tougher with the final 3.3 miles on a dirt road. With the finish at an altitude of 7,457 feet and a bright sun, many riders appeared on the verge of fainting when they got off their bikes. Italy’s national time trial champion Marco Pinotti was so weak, he had to have an assistant remove his helmet.

The final section was so steep, with turns so tight, that team cars were banned. Instead, mechanics rode behind the cyclists on specially outfitted motorcycles.

However, the motorcycle following Basso toppled over twice, and a Liquigas team member had to run part of the way in case of a mechanical problem.

ATHLETIC STUFF

Armstrong arrives in Europe to prepare for TourLance Armstrong has arrived in Eu-

rope to step up preparations for the Tour de France.

The seven-time Tour champion said on his Twitter site Tuesday it “is nice to be back in Nice.”

Armstrong often trains in the south of France, where he owns a house. He may compete in the Tour of Luxembourg from June 2-6, although race organizers couldn’t confirm his participation Tues-day.

There is also the possibility that Arm-strong will ride in the Dauphine Libere from June 6-13 or the Tour of Switzer-land from June 12-20.

Armstrong has had only a few race days this season. Last week, he with-

drew from the Tour of California after a crash, which resulted in an injured left elbow and cut on his face.

The Tour de France starts on July 3.

A snowball’s chance: NJ picked for 2014 Super BowlFebruary. Gray skies. Snowflakes. Brrrrrrrr.Well, grab your boots and plow the snow. The Super

Bowl is coming to the Meadowlands.In New Jersey? In the dead of winter?“We’ll all pray that it doesn’t snow that day,” Arizona

Cardinals president Michael Bidwill said.NFL owners voted yesterday to put the 2014 Super

Bowl in the new $1.6 billion Meadowlands Stadium that this season will become home to the New York Jets and Giants. It’s the first time the league has gone to a cold weather site that doesn’t have a dome; until now, those places couldn’t even bid on the big game.

So, why the risk?“Let’s face it,” Giants co-owner John Mara said,

“there’s only one New York City.”“We promise the greatest game in the greatest venue

in the greatest city,” added another co-owner, Steve Tisch. “Now we’ve got to deliver.”

Mother Nature may have a lot to say about that.

The coldest kickoff temperature in Super Bowl his-tory was 39 degrees, and that would be considered a warm February day in East Rutherford, N.J. Average February temperatures there are 24 to 40 degrees, with several inches of rain, according to the bid documents.

Remember, the game kicks off after the sun goes down in the Eastern time zone, so temperatures would be dropping throughout the night.

“Everyone knows it’s risky,” said Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, whose bid was eliminated in the second round.

It might end up being another Ice Bowl, Fog Bowl, Freezer Bowl or something else worthy of a frigid nick-name. That’s not what the bidders had in mind when they adopted the slogan, “Make Some History,” but for all the inconvenience to those in the stadium, it might look great on TV.

The extended version of Bart Starr’s game-winning sneak in the Ice Bowl in 1967 opens with Cowboys de-

fenders scraping their cleats into the ice to try getting some traction. Teeth chatter just watching the replay of Tom Brady’s fumble that was ruled an incompletion in the snow-filled Tuck Rule game. In Brett Favre’s final game with the Packers, he ends a chilly playoff game by throwing an interception, then runs off with steam com-ing out of his mouth; it was against the Giants, too.

“People talk about the weather, but, you know, this is football, not beach volleyball,” New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg told the NFL Network.

The NFL has required an average temperature of 50 degrees or a dome for a team to even bid on hosting the Super Bowl, but the league bent the rule to let New York bid.

It’s billed as a one-time exception, but just a few years ago, the NHL experimented with an outdoor game on New Year’s Day, and it came off so perfectly that teams now fight to host what’s become the annual Winter Classic. Maybe this will work out that well, too.

Kids have a tendency to take pieces of junk, paint them, and present them to their parents as birthday presents.

The Reconstruction/Recycled Art Show tonight at the Alpine Arts Center in Edwards is capitalizing on that sense of youthful wonder, and also the emotional draw, that makes parents and art connoisseurs praise refurbished art.

A group of some very talented artists have been dis-playing the pieces since May 8, and tonight their efforts will boost a number of great causes.

The Eagle Valley Alliance for Sustainability has part-nered with Habitat for Humanity to make the event pos-sible. Habitat for Humanity has taken over managing the “Recon” construction salvage yard in Wolcott due to their proximity to the yard and immediate resources. Together they provided the artists with the materials they needed to create their art.

One of the pieces is a recycled door, another is a painting done entirely on salvaged ceiling fans. All throughout the Alpine Arts Center you will find visual-ly arresting works of art created on surfaces that would have otherwise been sent to a landfill.

Members of the Eagle Valley Artist Alliance have contributed pieces to the show, and are officially en-dorsing the event.

“I like when people actually look at something that’s recycled and suddenly say, ‘Oh that’s the hood of a ’57 Chevy,’” said Fernando Palomo, local artist and EVAA member. “I like when people finally realize it.”

This show is all about emphasizing recycling and reusing. Something that Alpine Arts Center supports strongly enough to include thirteen pieces from local kids, in addition to the fifteen created by adult artists.

“We have art work on display from professional art-ists,” said Lauren Merrill, owner and director of the Al-pine Arts Center. “We have art on display from Alpine Arts Center students, and we also have art on display

from middle-school students at Berry Creek middle school.”

The Alpine Arts Center provides arts education, and, through this event, sustainability education as well. Painting on a recovered piece of wood is also much cheaper than buying the same size canvass. An eight foot by six foot stretched canvass will cost $240 at best; the same size piece of wood from a salvage yard is free.

Rebecca Hollister from the EVAS emphasized their mission and this show as “Demonstrating how the ma-terials can be used in different ways to keep them out of the landfill, and when you can use them in an artistic way it’s pretty cool.”

These unique pieces will be on display until June 10, but the show tonight will conclude the month-long si-lent auction at 7:45 p.m. The proceeds from the sales will primarily go to the artists, though some of the art-ists have chosen to donate their profits back to various charities. Thirty percent of the sales will go to The Al-pine Arts Center to fund classes, workshops, and other costs, and ten percent of the art sales will go to EVAS.

“This gallery is for artists in our community,” said Merrill. “And you don’t have to be in a certain stage of your career to showcase your work here, so its re-ally fresh art work, and a way, if your just starting to showcase some pieces, to see what the communities response is.”

This show displays an excellent cross section of that artistic community, from professional artists making a healthy living off their passion, to the passionate young middle-school student who recently learned how to paint. Although, with the consistently high quality of these pieces, it might be hard to tell which is which.

The Reconstruction/Recycled Art Show will start at 6 and end at 8:30 p.m. Beverages including beer and wine have been donated by Crazy Mountain Brew-ing Co. and a variety of wine sellers throughout Eagle County. Hors d’œuvres will be provided by Pan for Hire, the catering side of The Pantry restaurant in Min-turn. All food and drink is complimentary.

presentation to the county commissioners last night.Developers want to reclaim the old B&B gravel pit

and build a medical campus, residential housing and several public amenities, including increased river ac-cess.

The county’s planning commission held eight hear-ings on Eagle River Meadows, before approving the project and sent it along to the commissioners.

How it’s situatedEagle River Meadows would circle that large meadow

along the Eagle River, across the river from what is now the B&B site in Edwards. It would continue along the north side of that meadow about 100 feet below I-70.

The buildings would go where the gravel pit and mining facilities are now, and on the south side where the land rises out of the flood plain.

The south side, the Highway 6 side - the gravel pit side - is proposed to be home to about 260,000 square feet of medical facilities, to include some related retail. It’ll also be home to around 140 residential units.

On the north side, the I-70 side, there’s a proposal for 240 units, about the density of Miller Ranch.

The two will be connected by a series of recreation paths and a road that circles the open space, those big green fields in the middle. It’ll be connected by a small bridge across the Eagle River to connect the two sides, and also to connect it to Brett Ranch.

The proposal for the medical side includes senior care and assisted living facilities, as well as other medi-cal facilities.

The whole project is downstream from the Eagle River Preserve, the open space that opened last week. The development’s density would thin out along the border it shares with the 72-acre open space.

Trails through Eagle River Meadows would connect to the ECO Trails system through the Eagle River Pre-serve. Developers would also build 10 more parking spaces. The county staff and planning commission ex-pressed general support for the project, saying it’s well situated along existing transportation corridors and in its proximity to the center of Edwards. They expressed concern about the apparent lack of concern by Edwards residents during the hearing, and whether a project of that size could be absorbed into this market under the current economic conditions.

The Homestead Homeowners Association did not oppose the project, but expressed concern about the in-creased traffic and noise it would create.

The county staff countered that traffic problems al-ready exist in Edwards, even before Eagle River Mead-ows.

The site has been a gravel mine since 1976, when Sid Blandford moved B&B out of Vail’s Lionshead to the Edwards site.

Developers say new facility would:• Bring destination dollars to the local economy.• Create up to 200 jobs including mid level and pro-fessionals on- and off-site.• Reclaim and the mining site into a new neighbor-hood community in Edwards.• Create an integrated trail network open to the pub-lic, but maintained by the homeowners association. The trails would tie into Eagle County trail network.• Increase public access to the Eagle River.• Open space allows for substantial areas of ripar-ian, wetlands and river corridor to be protected and enhanced.

Bike Series grew 41 percent with nearly 200 young riders – ages 8 to 14 – racing on many of the same trails as the expert and professional racers.

VRD is encouraging even more participation this year by offering a women’s Single Speed category as well as a Never-Ever category for bikers without previous race expe-rience.

Today’s Hammer in the HayDay-of registration will end at

5:30 p.m. and racing action will be-gin at 5 p.m. with the Youth 8-14 category. A variety of adult races for all ages and abilities begins at 5:45 p.m.

An after party at 4 Eagle Ranch, featuring Eagle’s bluegrass band Hardscrabble and a free keg of beer will follow the race. Prizes will also be presented to the top three finish-ers of each category, as well as a raffle prize drawing for all race par-ticipants.

Pre-registration for individual races and the entire series is cur-

rently underway for all experience levels, ages eight and older.

The series rolls on with the Eagle Ranch Classic and Berry Creek Bash in Edwards on June 16. Racers will then head to Vail for the Davos Dash on July 7 and the annual Mike Janelle Memorial Race will take place in conjunction with the Vail Grind on Vail Mountain July 21.

The Boneyard Brawl will de-but August 4 in Eagle, and the se-ries will wrap up on Aug. 25 with the Beaver Creek Blastin Beaver Creek.

Registration, course informa-tion and start times are available at www.VailRec.com.

tain College to offer up to five bachelor’s degrees.In early April the Colorado Mountain College Board

of Trustees and college administrators were excited to learn that the Colorado House of Representatives voted 55-9 (with one absence) to pass SB-101.

“We are so grateful for the legislators, community members and business leaders who have supported the passage of this bill,” says Dr. Stan Jensen, president of Colorado Mountain College.

Knee PainIf you have ever suffered

with chronic pain in the knee, you know

how frustrating it can be. After years of run-ning, tennis, cycling, hiking, skiing, kaya-king, etc., I have developed pain from no reason or injury. After ice, rest, and not getting bet-ter I sought evaluation and treatment. I met an aeronautical engineer/test pilot who went on to become a sports injury specialist. He was developing at the time a new active form of muscular treatment called active release techniques (ART).

After a quick evaluation of the region, he was able to see that the muscles of the foot and hip were placing stress on the quad-riceps, which was so tight that they were weakened and unable to support the appropriate and balanced tracking of the knee cap.

In order to fl ex the knee, we had to correct all the problems along

the kinetic chain of the entire leg. He ex-plained to me that

the muscles were overworked and had developed

over-use injuries which would not allow them to

get stronger. He further ex-plained that these soft tissue injuries could be resolved by ART, then the area could be strengthened without pain.

Needless to say it worked!! I have been studying this tech-nique for several years. Call us

today to fi nd out why this treatment is in almost ev-

ery NFL locker room as well as the PGA, and being used extensively for improved

speed of recovery from injury, injury prevention and for performance

enhancement by the Olympic teams for the US and Canada.
