THE UPDATE

The United States Ski Association (USSA) is set to announce that skiing will be added to the U.S. Halfpipe Grand Prix, which has only included snow-boarding for the last 15 years.

Skiing will make its Grand Prix de-but at Copper Mountain on Friday, De-cember 10 and will reportedly pay out $10,000 to both the men’s and women’s winners.

The decision marks a major step for-

ward for the growing sport of halfpipe skiing, which hopes to make a bid for the 2014 Olympics as early as this fall. It’s also good news for local halfpipe pros Taylor Seaton, who will prequalify based on his Association of Freeskiing Professionals (AFP) ranking, and Patty Baskins, an up-and-comer who you’ll likely read about this season.

After an injury-plagued 09-10 season, Seaton solidified his comeback with a big win at the New Zealand Open this summer. Baskins took fifth at the event.

USSA expects the Copper Skiing Grand Prix to attract the world’s best halfpipe athletes, as it does for snow-boarding, and the event will serve as a

Bud Light’s first ever fall concert series in the Vail Valley kicks off tonight with Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers.

The first of seven shows in the “Underground Sound” se-ries, Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers will be joined by spe-cial guest Aslyn, and the show will take place at the Vilar Per-forming Arts Center in Beaver Creek starting at 7:30 p.m.

Stephen Kellogg formed The

Sixers in Northampton, Mass. in 2003. To date, the group has released four records including 2007’s Glassjaw Boxer which was named one of the “Top Five Records of the Year” by USA Today critic Brian Mans-field.

Compared to the music of John Cougar and Counting Crows, Stephen Kellogg grew up listening to a mix of his dad’s 1970’s records and at-tending heavy metal concerts in the 1980’s with his sister. Kellogg explains, “I’m as much a product of Whitesnake as I am of Jackson Browne. The beauty of The Sixers is that they don’t have a problem with that.”

The band’s latest release,

No charges for 6 men arrested in suspected plot to kill the pope

The six street cleaners arrested in a suspected terror plot against Pope Bene-dict XVI on Friday were released with-out charges last night, reports CNN.

The six men were arrested “on suspi-cion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism,” police reported, adding that they ranged in age from 26 to 50. Media reports said some were Algerian, though authori-ties would not confirm that. Police said they received information about a threat against the popet, prompting the arrests under Britain’s Terrorism Act.

Fall cleanups were in session yesterday in the Vail Valley as volunteers descended on the Eagle River for the Eagle River Watershed Council’s 16th Annual Riv-er Cleanup.

And while volunteers there were cleaning up 51 miles of the Eagle River and Gore Creek, the Rocky Mountain Sport Riders were removing more than five truckloads of garbage from the Spring Creek trail at the group’s cleanup there.

GOP boosts campaign effortsBut local Republicans aren’t participating in statewide ‘Super Saturday’ weekend

Republican party volunteers across the state are ramping up their efforts this weekend.

The new push is called “Super Saturday,” although it started Friday and continues all day today. It’s es-sentially a doubling of the party’s efforts to reach out to voters statewide, said Colorado GOP spokesperson Chelsey Penoyer.

The effort is coordinated by the party’s “Victory Offices,” which manage the party’s campaign efforts across the state. For weeks, the offices have sought out extra volunteers to work Friday, Saturday and today.

Those volunteers will work to drive up the party’s voter turnout, which is typically lower in non-presiden-tial election years.

“That’s something the Republican party does really well is getting republicans to go out to the polls,” Pe-noyer said.

Callers will focus initially on Republican party loy-alists, but will then move on to independent voters, mixed-party households and voters who have not al-

ways turned out to mid-term elections.This year, the party is particularly focused on voters

using mail-in ballots, Penoyer said. Because the bal-lots can be mailed in weeks before Election Day, the party now considers Oct. 12, the earliest day voters can return the ballots, to be the beginning of the election, she said.

Mail-in ballots have been shown to increase voter turnout, Penoyer said, particularly in rural parts of the state. After seeing a sharp increase in their use in the last election, she said the party has made their use a priority.

Colorado’s newest Victory Office opened Friday night in Eagle, but this office will not be participating in the “Super Saturday” weekend.

Randy Milhoan, the chair of the Eagle County GOP, said that the event was discussed during the last tele-phone conference for the party’s Executive Committee, of which he is a member, but that he didn’t join the conference until after it was discussed.

The office is still seeking volunteers to man the phones on other days. The five-room building has enough room for six to eight volunteers, Milhoan said.

The party is also seeking a part-time office manager, who would be paid with funds from the state party to oversee the volunteers, man phones and keep a key to the office, where yard signs for several Republican candidates will be stored.

DOW to offer free big gamelicenses to wounded veteransColorado vets to receive deer, elk, pronghorn tags

This fall the Colorado Wildlife Commission will provide free big game hunting licenses to Colorado combat veterans severely wounded in action while de-ployed overseas since Sept. 11, 2001.

The DOW will provide a free deer, elk and prong-horn license to veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan who are participants in the military’s Wounded Warrior Pro-grams.

“It is wonderful that the DOW is giving such a gener-ous gift to wounded warriors, as many of them are pas-sionate about the outdoors and are avid hunters,” said Cheryl Jensen, who runs the Vail Veterans program, which has assisted several wounded veterans on hunt-ing trips over the last couple of years.

“Offering free big-game licenses is just a small token of the gratitude we all feel toward the men and women who have served our country so courageously,” said Wildlife Commission chairman Tim Glenn. “We want them to know their sacrifice will not be forgotten.”

Free licenses to hunt antlerless deer, elk or prong-horn will be made available in game management units where the total antlerless license allocation is at least 100 for deer and elk or 50 doe pronghorn licenses state-wide during rifle seasons. Licenses would be capped at 10 licenses per game management unit or 2 percent of the total issued in that unit, whichever is greater.

For antlered deer, elk and buck pronghorn, Wounded Warrior licenses will be issued for private land only and capped at five licenses per game management unit or 2 percent of the total, whichever is greater. Antlered tags will not be issued for Ranching for Wildlife prop-erties or in units which take more than four resident preference points to draw.

The program applies to servicemen and women who are residents of or are stationed in Colorado and mir-rors the DOW’s existing mobility-impaired hunting

license program in that applicants must have a mobil-ity impairment resulting from a severe combat-related injury, which makes it physically impossible for them to hunt without the assistance of an attendant.

For his contribution to this year’s Hike, Wine and Dine fundraiser, Ruben Chagoya will serve up a taste of his hometown – Verra Cruz, Mexico.

The executive chef at the Dusty Boot in Beaver Creek, Chagoya will be serving up a mango shrimp ceviche, a dish he saw his mother and grandmother cook as a child, over fried wontons.

On Sept. 26, Chagoya will join chefs from seven other local res-taurants on the slopes of Beaver Creek. Each restaurant will have a booth somewhere along the course of an easy four-mile hike along the mountain. At the end of the hike, or-ganizers will host a wine tasting.

The event is the second annual fundraiser for Jack’s Place, a rest home in Edwards for those under-going cancer treatment. As many as 25 patients can stay overnight in the home for no charge, though a dona-tion of $25 is asked for.

This year will be the first time Chagoya will serve at the event. He has now worked as the execu-tive chef at the Dusty Boot, either in Beaver Creek or in Eagle, for more than a decade.

Raised on the southern end of the

Gulf Coast, Chagoya said he didn’t originally intend to become a chef, but that it ultimately proved to be the path he was meant to take. He entered college to become an en-gineer like his father, but said that was short-lived.

“(Engineering) wasn’t really my vocation,” he said. “That was the kitchen. It was dealing with flavors, with herbs, with spices.”

Unlike many of his peers, Chago-ya never attended culinary school. He got his start in the restaurant business at the age of 15 as a dish-washer in New Jersey. By the end of six months, he had worked his way into the kitchen as a prep cook.

The chef at the Long Island Beach restaurant, a German man named Italo, was something of mentor to

Dusty Boot executive chef Ruben Chagoya will serve up a taste of Verra Cruz, Mexico, with his mango shrimp ceviche over fried wontons at the Beaver Creek Hike, Wine and Dine on Sunday, Sept. 26.

spectators congregated at the Edwards Freedom Park skate park yesterday for the first-annual “Oktoberhesh” skateboarding competition.

“Everything went like clockwork,” said Barry Parent, owner of Vail Skate Supply in Lionshead, who donated the prizes to the winners. “We had a really great turnout, so for sure it’s going to be an annual event.”

About 40 skateboarders participated in the competitions, which included a street jam and bowl jam.

Pictured here, clockwise from left, are skateboarders Ricky Rodriguez, Will Berk and Joshua Bortz in the bowl jam finals. Each ended up finishing in the top three in the open bowl category, with Will Bert ty-ing for 1st.

Toyota settles suit over high-profile Calif. crash

Toyota Motor Corp. has settled a lawsuit brought by relatives of four family members killed in a high-speed crash near San Diego that galvanized attention around safety flaws of Toyotas and led to the recalls of millions of cars.

A Toyota spokesman confirmed the settlement yes-terday in a statement e-mailed to The Associated Press. It was first reported on the Los Angeles Times’ Web site Friday night. The company would not specify the settlement’s terms.

The Times said Toyota is expected to file motions with the judge disclosing the settlement on Monday. Court filings indicate the two parties reached a settle-ment in June.

Lindsay Lohan tweets she failed drug screening

Lindsay Lohan has confirmed on her Twitter page that she failed a court-ordered drug and alcohol screen-ing, and she said that if asked, she is ready to appear before the judge in her case and face the consequences for her actions.

In a series of messages posted late Friday, the actress said “Regrettably, I did in fact fail my most recent drug test.”

She also said, “Substance abuse is a disease, which unfortunately doesn’t go away over night. I am work-ing hard to overcome it.” Lohan often posts updates with the account that’s verified by Twitter as belonging to the actress.

DA: Paris Hilton to avoid felony in Vegas arrest

Paris Hilton has agreed to plead guilty to two misde-meanors stemming from her arrest last month at a Las Vegas resort, a Nevada prosecutor said.

Under the terms of a plea deal worked out with pros-ecutors, the celebrity heiress will serve a year of proba-tion and avoid a felony conviction, Clark County Dis-trict Attorney David Roger said Friday.

A plea agreement obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal shows Hilton will plead guilty to drug posses-sion and obstructing an officer. She must complete a drug abuse program, pay a $2,000 fine and serve 200 hours of community service.

Obama rallies black supporters at gala

President Barack Obama is hoping that black voters don’t stand on the sidelines when Democrats need all the election help they can get this year.

With polls showing his party facing a wide “enthusi-asm gap” with the GOP, Obama sought to rally an im-portant constituency in a speech at the annual awards banquet of the Congressional Black Caucus on yester-day night.

It’s a group reeling from ethics charges against two leading members, Democratic Reps. Charles Rangel of New York and Maxine Waters of California. Republi-cans are preparing TV ads spotlighting the cases, even though House trials are now not expected until after the November election.

Child deaths test Fla.’s beach driving tradition

Four-year-old Aiden Patrick was playing on the beach just yards away from his father when he yelled “Daddy” and ran toward him, into the path of an on-coming truck driving legally on the sand.

The July death has tested this area’s tradition of beach driving. Along with a 4-year-old British girl who was struck and killed on Daytona Beach a few months earlier, residents are now torn between outlawing cars on the beach and persevering a deep-rooted ritual that helped form the Daytona 500 stock car race.

“It’s an extremely divisive issue that people get very emotional about,” said Volusia County Councilman Josh Wagner.

Like most local elected officials, Wagner wants to keep the custom that has long been part of the area’s identity.

Christians in Indonesia defy police, past attacksA group of Christian worshippers said they would

defy police and the threat of attack to hold Sunday prayers outside their now-boarded-up church near In-donesia’s capital.

Religious tensions that had been growing for months in the industrial city of Bekasi came to a head last week when unidentified assailants stabbed a member of the Batak Christian Church in the stomach and hit its preacher on the head with a wooden plank. Neither injury was life-threatening.

Police arrested 10 suspects including the local leader of the hard-line Islamic Defender’s Front, which has for months warned the Christians against holding prayers in the staunchly Muslim neighborhood.

against the North African branch of al-Qaida in neigh-boring Mali.

People described heavy fighting late Friday in the Mauritanian region of Nema near the border with Mali. An official said yesterday that Mauritanian forces were granted permission to fight militants inside northern Mali.

At least 12 militants died and five Mauritanians were killed in the operation.

Authorities believe al-Qaida’s North Africa branch could be behind the kidnapping of five French nation-als and two Africans in Niger, but the official said Fri-day night’s operation had nothing to do with that case.

Pakistan floods renew debate on dam project

This summer’s floods in Pakistan have reopened a quarter-century-old debate on whether to build a large hydroelectric dam on the River Indus, a dispute that has split the nation along regional lines. Supporters say the water reservoir could have prevented much of the floods’ devastation and boosted agricultural production along the river. Opponents say just the opposite.

The debate over the Kalabagh Dam shows how the worst natural disaster in Pakistan’s history, affecting some 20 million people, has unearthed deep fissures in its society. There is a chronic mistrust among Paki-

stan’s four provinces and the central government, and critics accuse wealthy landowners of naked self-inter-est in wanting to ensure the Indus keeps irrigating their crops.

Nigeria’s president kicks off election campaign

President Goodluck Jonathan, who was thrust into office after Nigeria’s elected leader died earlier this year, formally launched a presidential bid yesterday that could split the oil-rich nation’s ruling party along religious lines.

Jonathan danced his way to the lectern to deliver his speech in Nigeria’s capital city of Abuja, dressed in a gray caftan and black bowler hat traditional to his home in the oil-producing Niger Delta region.

He recounted growing up without shoes and fore-going meals, a reality faced by many in Africa’s most populous nation. And he promised to fight corruption and bring more electricity to the country.

where a series of rocket attacks and bombings dampened turnout despite a heavy presence of security forces.

One bomb attack narrowly missed the Kandahar provincial governor’s convoy as he traveled between polling stations to observe yesterday’s parliamentary vote.

International troops and Afghan forces have been ramping security in this key southern region - the birthplace of the Taliban movement - in an attempt to keep insurgents from staging attacks and turn the tide of the nine-year war.

Those who ventured out to vote did so slowly at first, a few members of one family at a time. Later, groups of voters left their homes and headed to polling sta-tions. But when the polls closed, it was clear that turnout had been lower than during last year’s presidential election.

Cops nab ‘Darth Vader’ robber

Police arrested a resident they said wore a plastic Darth Vader mask before pulling a butcher knife and robbing a convenience store. Police in the Detroit suburb said the man fled Monday after demanding all the cash from the register.

Lt. William Wilson told The Daily Tri-bune of Royal Oak the suspect goofed by putting on the mask while in range of a store surveillance camera.

Bill Maher digs up O’Donnell

‘witchcraft’ clipComedian Bill Maher is digging up

clips of Delaware GOP Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell’s past appearances on his shows, including one in which she says she “dabbled in witchcraft.”

On “Real Time with Bill Maher,” a clip was shown from 1999 of O’Donnell saying one of her first dates was with a witch at a satanic alter.

The context of what led to the com-ment is not clear and O’Donnell is laugh-ing while she talks about witchcraft.

Nibali zeroing in on Spanish Vuelta title

Vincenzo Nibali tightened his grip on the Spanish Vuelta yester-day, finishing second behind rival Ezequiel Mosquera in the grueling 20th stage of the Spanish Classic to all but secure the overall victory.

Mosquera completed the moun-tainous 107-mile leg in 4 hours, 45 minutes, 28 seconds. The Spaniard needed to overcome a 50-second deficit and broke out alone with 2 miles to race in the race’s next-to-last leg, but Nibali clawed his way back to finish 1 second behind.

“Mosquera was very strong,” he said. “And with so many people watching on and it being so com-petitive, that the win went right to the finish line.”

Nibali broke into tears at the sum-mit finish. The Liquigas-Doimo cy-clist is in position to become the fifth Italian winner in 65 editions of the race, with Marco Giovan-netti the last in 1990. Nibali leads Mosquera—who picked up extra time through bonus points—by 41 seconds with an overall time of 85:16:05.

“I attacked to win the Vuelta, not just the stage,” Mosquera said. “But he knew how to manage the situ-ation, and I suppose I was a little nervous but him, too, since he had more to lose.”

Mosquera made his push at the beginning of the toughest part of the demanding climb up to the top of the ski resort.

While Nibali stayed with him early, he soon slipped 11 seconds behind on the steep climb to the Bola del Mundo finish and Mos-

quera managed to push 20 seconds ahead with the crowds cheering the two up the thin strip of road into the clouds.

But Nibali didn’t panic and re-gained his rhythm to close the gap to the Xacobeo Galicia rider, who crossed the finish a bicycle length ahead.

Joaquin Rodriguez of Spain was third—23 seconds back—to stay fourth in the overall standings be-hind Peter Velits of Slovakia, who trails Nibali by 3:02. Frank Schleck finished 35 seconds back in fourth to remain fifth overall.

Today’s 53-mile ride is from San Sebastian de los Reyes into Ma-drid, the traditional finish site of the Spanish race.

Cancellara to quit Saxo BankTeam Saxo Bank manager Bjarne

Riis says Swiss rider Fabian Can-cellara is quitting the Danish team.

Riis tells Danish broadcaster TV2 that the 29-year-old Olympic road race silver medalist is leaving a year before his contract expires. The reasons for his departure were not immediately known Saturday.

Cancellara is regarded as the world’s best time trialist. He has won the prologues in the Tour de France in 2004, 2007 and this year. He added the individual time trial this year.

He’s won the Paris-Roubaix and the Tour of Flanders this year.

When asked about the album The Bear, Kellogg said, “If I explained the entire story to you, it wouldn’t be as fun to dive in and figure it out for yourself,” says Kel-logg. “I’m sorry but I just can’t take apart every aspect of the music without taking something out of the soul

of it... you’ll have to experience it yourself and find meaning there.”

qualifier for the upcoming FIS World Championships at Park City, Utah in February. Four competitors – the top-two men and top-two women – will au-tomatically qualify for Worlds with the remainder determined by AFP ranking and X Games results.

“We’re making some assumptions that [halfpipe skiing] is going to get the OK from the IOC,” said Tom Kelly, vice president of communications for USSA. “As an organization, we’re making a pretty big commitment to halfpipe. And we want to showcase Copper as a world-class event.”

Eventually, the Grand Prix will likely also serve as an Olympic qualifier for halfpipe skiing, as it has for snowboard-ing.

The inclusion of skiing in the event by USSA will provide much-needed consis-tency in terms of judging and pipe size. Halfpipe skiing thus far been has been a mishmash between the Dew Tour, which has been held on an 18-foot pipe in the past, and the X Games and the FIS World Cup, which are both held on 22 footers. Judging standards have also varied from

event to event. “Ski halfpipe has become a major in-

ternational event with a strong following of athletes worldwide,” said USSA fre-eride program director Jeremy Forster. “Fans can expect to see some amazing performances, which is one of the rea-sons the IOC is taking a look at the event for the 2014 Games.”

The Copper event will also feature one of the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Associa-tion’s most popular series for developing athletes, the Paul Mitchell Progression Session, with a slopestyle event under the lights on Saturday night.

According to ESPN.com, the skiing field will include roughly 90 men and 40 women, with about a third of those spots to be filled by foreign athletes. Twenty men and 10 women will be prequalified by AFP rankings. Other skiers can regis-ter starting Oct. 12 at www.ussa.org.

The Visa U.S. Halfpipe Grand Prix is set to air on three different dates. NBC will feature same weekend coverage with both ski and snowboarding on Dec. 12 at noon followed by ski halfpipe on Versus Dec. 25 at 2 p.m.

Chagoya, who eventually worked his way up to an assistant chef position. Be-cause the restaurant was only open for the summer tourist season, though, he said he worked construction in the off-season to make ends meet.

Chagoya moved to Colorado in 1990, when he took a job as a chef at the Ritz-Carlton. He came to the Vail Valley after his marriage in 1997, because he hoped to raise a family here.

Thirteen years later, Chagoya is now the proud father of three daughters. His oldest, Aspen, is named for the area he has come to love, while his youngest, Basil, is named for the place he has loved for the last 24 years – the kitchen.

Until his daughters are grown, Chago-ya said he has no intentions to leave his work in Beaver Creek or his home in Gypsum. In time, though, he said he does hope to return to Mexico.

Once college tuition is paid for, he said, he wants to open his own restaurant in Verra Cruz and to bring the diversity of flavors he has experienced throughout his culinary career to his hometown. Be-ing close to the Gulf will allow him to work with fresh seafood again, which he described as his specialty.

Though he has had to transition from freshly caught fish to freshly killed wild game, Chagoya said he has always found a way to please his customers’ palates.

“Things come out well, you know, when you do things with a lot of love,” he said.

Other participating restaurants in the Hike, Wine and Dine include The Osprey, Grouse Mountain Grill, Bea-ver Creek Chophouse, Beano’s Cabin, D’Oro and Remini. To join, e-mail Bran-don Mays at [email protected] or call (970) 569-7645.
