THE UPDATE

In their quest to find a permanent home for the county’s youngest school, offi-cials with Stone Creek Charter School have set their eyes on yet another par-cel.

Parents and faculty members received and email yesterday saying the school has closed a contract with the owner of a 2.4-acre parcel in Fox Hollow in Ed-

wards, and plans to move the school there before classes start.

Constructed with several portable modular units, the school is currently located just east of the Home Depot in Avon. They lease that land from the

town of Avon, but their lease is up June 30. The town, hoping to capitalize on federal grant money for the construction of a bus depot, will use the space as a staging area for construction equipment.

That means leaders at Stone Creek

have been trying to find the school a per-manent home for months now. Just two months ago, they took out a $3 million loan to buy a parcel of land just west of the Edwards trailer park. That piece of land proved to be “unacceptable”, said Ron Wolfe, the presidents of the school’s board.

The slope of the land would have re-quired the school to reconfigure the positions of the modular units, Wolfe

Under Democratic re-districting proposals, Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.) would represent the entire northwest quarter of the state, and area that would include both Boulder and Grand Junction. Polis represents Congressional District 2, which includes Eagle, Summit, Grand, Clear Creek, Gilpin, and

Boulder Counties as well as small parts of others.

The proposals were presented by members of the state’s bipartisan re-districting committee at a meeting in Denver yes-terday.

During the next three months, workers will put the finishing touches on an expansion that will more than double the size of the Colorado Mountain College cam-pus in Edwards.

Officials with the college hope the 36,005 square foot expansion will not only provide more facilities for the campus’s core programs, but also foster a sense of community that they feel is absent in the cur-rent building.

The design for the addition fea-tures wider hallways and bigger windows that the original campus, and the structure is built around a new student center, which will be lit by bay windows facing Bellyache Ridge. When finished, the student center will include a gas fireplace, a food service area, and a landscaped outdoor patio area that will be set up to host concerts.

“We really wanted to capture the life and noise and excitement of a campus,” said Jon Keiser of TAB Associates Inc., the Edwards-based company commissioned to design the expansion. “To give (the stu-dents) a reason to treat this as not just a commuter college.”

Architects aimed to create a build-ing that would turn what is now a

“commuter campus” into a place students use in between, before and after classes, he said.

“We want this building to help to create the relationships in order for students to stick it out,” said Ed-wards campus CEO Peggy Curry.

The layout of the existing build-ing makes it difficult for students to come together as a group, Curry said, and sends many out the door as soon as classes end.

Enhanced programs The benefits students will reap

from the $8 Million addition aren’t all esoteric; the building will also host facilities that will bolster some of the college’s most popular pro-grams.

The expansion includes a two-vehicle garage for the college’s fire fighter training programs, where students can work with actual fire trucks, attach fire hoses to live fire

Vail seeks input on conference center funds With clock ticking, open forum set for Tuesday afternoon

Nearly nine years since the town of Vail raised taxes for a conference center that never was, the town council will host an open discussion with community members on how to spend $9.4 million in collected funds.

The forum will begin at 4 p.m. Tuesday, April 19, roughly two hours prior to the evening ses-sion. During the regular meeting, the council will also consider bal-lot wording and whether to hold a dedicated election in August, both contested issues during previous meetings.

As tax-generated revenue, voters must approve any use of the funds. If a ballot issue fails, the money will likely be refunded through a

tax break, a process that could take upwards of 20 years.

The council has already heard three proposed projects, presented at the April 5 meeting by former council member Kent Logan. In keeping with the original goal of the conference center, each had to “increase overall economic vital-ity” for Vail – in other words, attract tourists, preferably year-round. All told, Logan’s projects would re-quire an additional $6.7 million.

The town opted to invite public comment after several prominent community members, from lodge managers to long-time residents, voiced concerns about the true im-pact of the three projects.

“The council wants to understand the community and its wishes,” said Suzanne Silverthorn, a spokeswom-an for the town.

On April 5, Logan also recom-mended the projects be placed on a special ballot on Aug. 23, rather than the normal ballot on Nov. 8.

In a memo by Vail Town Manager Stan Zemler outlining the pros and cons, an early vote would likely at-tract more people and give the coun-cil time to approve projects before the 2012 budget is finalized in No-vember. However, an August elec-tion gives less time for public input and costs an additional $12,000.

The money, still commonly re-ferred to as “conference center funds,” was gathered from 2002 to 2005 through a combination of lodging and sales taxes. Although nearly $2.4 million of the original fund was used for designs and plan-ning, it has been collecting interest since the tax was nixed in 2005.

The Battle Mountain boys base-ball team split a double-dip yester-day as they traveled to take on the Glenwood Springs Demons for a home/away affair on a beautiful sunny day in Glenwood.

The first game was an offensive attack by both teams, seeing Glen-wood come out victorious by a score of 12-9. The second game was quite the opposite as a pitcher’s duel ruled the field, and Battle Mountain came out on top 6-0, behind the arm of pitcher Riley Robbins.

The early afternoon tilt saw the Huskies take an early lead as lead-off batter Andrew Pellerito started the game off with a base hit, after advancing to third base on a cou-ple of pitches that were in the dirt, Pellerito scored the first run of the game on a Michael Jones ground out to the shortstop, giving Battle Mountain a quick 1-0 lead.

The Demons answered in the bot-tom of the inning, scoring a pair of runs to give Glenwood a 2-1 lead after one inning of play.

Battle Mountain added another run in the top of the second as Eric Weiss led the inning off with a sin-gle, advanced to third on a rip-shot double by teammate Chris Duran

just over the outreached glove of the Demons center fielder, eventu-ally scoring on a Robbins sacrifice fly. Battle Mountain’s pitcher Joe Webb shut down the Demons in the bottom half of the inning, keeping it a 2-2 game.

The Huskies were held scoreless

in the third, but Glenwood Springs added three runs to take a 5-2 lead into the fourth inning.

Battle Mountain bounced back quickly, scoring four runs in the fourth, including another run-scor-ing shot off the hot bat of

The jam-packed lineup of enter-tainment for Spring Back to Vail continues tonight with a free head-liner concert from the band Train, presented by Bud Light in Ford Park, fresh off their 2011 Grammy win for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals for their hit song “Hey Soul Sister.”

Over the course of 15 years, Train has made its mark on music history with a Grammy-Award-winning song and the chart-topping singles “Meet Virginia” and “Calling All Angels.” Train’s music has garnered them fans of all ages since forming in San Francisco in 1994.

The multi-platinum selling band has traveled a long, successful and sometimes arduous journey. Fol-lowing their 2006 release, “For Me, It’s You,” the band took a three-year hiatus, and in that time, Train has, for all intents and purposes, experi-enced an epiphany as a whole.

Now, with their fifth album, “Save Me, San Francisco,” Train has chan-neled their early days, revisiting the roots rock sound that has made the band such a tour de force – and, in turn, the band is united stronger than ever before.

When looking back, Train credits the city of San Francisco with culti-vating the band’s identity and foun-dation, so it’s no wonder than the title track of the record would pay homage to the Bay Area metropolis the band holds so dear. “Save Me

San Francisco” is an autobiographi-cal account of Train’s beginnings, and embodies not only the spirit of the album, but also the soul of Train as a band.

The song’s lyrics take the listener through the three-piece’s humble start in the mid-90s up through the time when the band left the City by the Bay. “Save Me, San Francisco” taps into Train’s organic sound, re-calling the blues and folk-infused

rock that put the band on the map from the start.

In this day and age, career artists are few and far between, and after a decade and a half of being a band, Train is ready to present one heck of a show. Train recognizes it’s ac-complishments, and is more than grateful for the success they have experienced. However, for a band as consummate as Train is, they still

said. The new parcel – just across Highway 6– is level enough for the school to host the school in its current configuration.

Wolfe said parents of downvalley students, which have been a growing demographic at Stone Creek., welcomed the move to Edwards. While students from Avon will have to travel farther to attend classes, he said he does not believe any families have been in-convenienced enough to pull their children from the school.

“I think on balance it’s going to create a really posi-tive benefit,” he said.

Michelle Huyke, the mother of two Stone Creek students, said she couldn’t be happier. A Lake Creek resident, the new school is just a few miles from her home.

“I am ecstatic,” she said. “If anything I feel almost a little guilty.”

Huyke said she had not heard complaints from any parents of Stone Creek students.

“I think all the parents are happy that we still have a school,” she said.

Not all the students will be going to classes at the new site, though. Those in the lowest grades – Kindergarten through second – will take their classes in classrooms at the nearby Gracious Savior Lutheran Church.

A different approachAs a charter school Stone Creek is allowed to run its

own operation so long as it meets minimum state and federal standards, Wolfe said.

That means administrators at Stone Creek don’t answer to district officials, but instead operate with “building-level control.” There is no tenure available to teachers at Stone Creek, and all hiring and firing is done in-house.

That approach has created a unique bond between the parents, teachers, and 210 students of Stone Creek, said Huyke, who described the school as “renegade”.

“I think there’s more heart and love and actual pas-sion for the growth and success of my kids,” she said. “I feel like the teachers treat my kids like their own kids.”

For the love of vinylRecord Store Day hits the valley

Tom Robbins of Eagle Valley Music in West Vail displays a few of the wares to be sold during today’s annual Record Store Day. The international event is a vinyl collector’s dream, with over 300 limited-edition titles for sale, along with free gear, posters, and other rare items. Erinn Chavez photo.

Tom Robbins wants the world to fall in love with independent record stores all over again.

“It has been a really rough past few years,” said Robbins, the owner of Eagle Valley Music, one of the few remaining bona fide record stores in the area. “But interest in vinyl is increasing by leaps and bounds. The common thread is pop culture. There’s an ambiance to a record store that doesn’t transfer to the online experience.”

With any luck, Robbins’ vision will be-come a reality today. His vision is shared by the thousands who plan to participate in Record Store Day, an international event to celebrate all things 7-inch, lim-ited edition, and custom pressed. More than 700 stores across the country will participate, including Robbins’ shop in West Vail. As of earlier this week, it now boasts more than 300 additional records for vinyl junkies to drool over, all or-dered specifically for today.

The true appeal of Record Store Day, as any die-hard fan will attest to, is brag-ging rights. Every item up for grabs was made solely for the event, from 7-inch Rolling Stones singles to reissues of

two full-length Ozzy Osbourne albums. Along with Oz, artists from every genre have publicly supported the day through its website, www.recordstoreday.com, with homemade videos and tweets ga-lore.

Robbins said high-profile collectables are obvious top sellers, but a number of other unique items should draw heavy interest. This year’s event highlights a slew of colored vinyl discs, many featur-ing classic covers by modern bands. One standout: a rendition of the Ramones’ “Havannah Affair” done by The Red Hot Chili Peppers, with the original artwork on one side and new art on the other. All told, Robbins said 40 to 50 items should easily sell out within the first few hours.

Now in its fourth year, Record Store Day appeals to an underground culture that is quickly making a comeback. De-spite the advent of digital music – iTunes has sold well over 10 billion tracks, and illegal downloading is practically par for the course – Robbins said business has slowly picked up over the past year.

“There are a lot of purists,” Rob-bins said. “There’s something lacking with the digital form. Even a CD gives you something to hold, and people like

EXCELLENT VALUES INCORDILLERA VALLEY CLUB


Colorado Senate Democrats ad-vanced a proposal Friday to grant in-state tuition to illegal immigrants, an issue that triggered emotional arguments from Hispanic lawmak-ers who choked back tears as they urged support of the bill.

Only Democrats supported the bill when it passed on a preliminary vote, with Republicans arguing the proposal provides an incentive for immigrants to come to the U.S. il-legally.

Democratic Sen. Angela Giron’s voice quivered as she told lawmak-ers that she has relatives who are in the country illegally, a circumstance she said perhaps wouldn’t resonate with her colleagues.

“And so I’m thinking, gosh, but I bet they have grandkids, and they have kids,” said Giron, a first-year lawmaker from Pueblo.

This is the fifth time Colorado Democrats have tried to pass a bill giving illegal immigrants the chance to pay lower in-state tuition rates. Senators must vote one more time before the measure goes to the House, where Republicans have a one-person edge.

Sen. Shawn Mitchell, a Republi-can from Broomfield, said the bill is misguided because illegal immi-grant students will not be able to le-gally get jobs in this country when they graduate from college.

“It’s a false promise. It’s false

hope. It’s the politics of gesture and of symbolism,” he said.

Other Republicans questioned the proposal’s legality, saying federal law states that illegal immigrants cannot receive a benefit not given to U.S. citizens.

Eleven states have laws grant-ing in-state tuition to illegal im-migrants, including California, Il-linois, Kansas and Texas. Although there have been court challenges, the law has not been overturned in the states that have it.

Similar legislation is pending in Oregon, where the measure recent-ly passed the Senate and is awaiting a vote in the House.

Colorado’s Senate Bill 126 would allow illegal immigrant students to qualify for in-state tuition if they meet certain criteria, such as at-tending a Colorado high school for at least three years and graduating from a state school.

It requires that students sign an affidavit with a college saying they are trying to obtain legal residency, a provision that other states have in-cluded in their legislation.

The latest Colorado bill is differ-ent from past versions because it makes illegal immigrant students ineligible for a state stipend that in-state tuition students can use at a college of their choice. That means illegal immigrants would still pay more than others who get in-state tuition.

Republicans who opposed the

bill said taxpayers would still be subsidizing college for illegal im-migrants because having additional students will lead to higher operat-ing costs — an argument Democrats disputed.

Republicans also said the propos-al would reward illegal behavior.

“We typically punish people who break the law,” El Paso County Re-publican Sen. Bill Cadman said. “We’re proving a singular excep-tion for those who are breaking the law in this country.”

Democratic Sen. Lucia Guzman said some of the debate was painful for her to hear “as an American of Mexican descent.”

“I see the children of undocu-mented people not as illegals. The children had no choice,” she said.

Democrats said having more stu-dents attend state colleges, regard-less of their immigration status, would be an economic boon for the state.

Sen. Rollie Heath, a Democrat from Boulder, said it makes no sense to educate illegal immigrant students through high school only to make it difficult to attend col-lege.

“When we take away the incen-tive for students, no matter what their status, to achieve their very best, we are literally undercutting the whole system of education in this state,” he said.

For aspiring Emergency Medical Technicians, the addition includes a new medical simulation room complete with an artificial ambulance, which is posi-tioned as an ambulance would be while unloading a patient in a hospital emer-gency room.

When completed, the ambulance will appear to be exactly like a regular am-bulance, allowing students to learn how to stock medical supplies in the proper places and work within the confined space of an ambulance. The simulation area also includes a bathroom where students can practice removing patients from bathtubs or showers.

There will also be a new 81-seat lec-ture hall, a language learning lab, and a solar greenhouse. The greenhouse will be used by culinary students, who will learn to grow some of the food they cook using sustainable practices in a new 760-square foot teaching kitchen. Some of the food cooked by the culinary students will be sold at a kitchen in the student center.

The addition also includes 13 new classrooms, three of which feature Inter-active Video System technology, which allows students to attend classes at other campuses or even Mesa State College in Grand Junction.

The dance studio, where classes are held on everything from jazz dance to ballet to yoga, has been expanded, and the floors have been replaced with a rub-ber material that is easier on dancers’ joints.

Developing curriculumThe addition is expected to open for

classes in the fall semester, around the same time the college plans to enroll stu-dents in its first four-year programs.

A two-year community college since it was founded in 1967, Colorado Moun-tain College has spent more than a year working with state officials to become an accredited four-year university. Offi-cials plan to jump through the final hoop of the accreditation process next week, and to open the application process for two four-year degrees April 20.

If the programs are approved as ex-pected, the college will offer a Bachelor of Science Degree in Sustainability and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Management. While the school’s lower-level classes will remain open to all that apply, applicants for the four-year pro-grams will need a GPA higher than 2.3 and at least 45 hours of college credit.

More changes consideredThe Edwards campus is one of seven

campuses in the Colorado Mountain Col-lege system, and it is one of the system’s fastest growing commuter colleges.

Whether it will stay a commuter col-lege, though, is up in the air. Officials are considering the construction of a 100-person dormitory on the land, Curry said yesterday. The plans have not been approved or even finalized yet, she said.

If built, the 100-person dormitory would probably be the last dormitory built on the campus, Curry said.

sets their goals high and hopes the band’s fans will continue to come along for the ride.

Before Train hits the stage, up-and-coming indie pop band Saint Motel will open up the free night of music.

The explosive, cinematic, hard-pop band Saint Motel is, to put it best, hard to resist, and damn fun.

In the world of Saint Motel, noth-ing bows to convention: Stages be-come forests and living rooms, and shows become kaleidoscopic mind explosions in 3D. This theatrically creative world is due in large part to the fact that the gentlemen of Saint Motel formed in film school.

The raw energy apparent in Saint Motel’s music is felt at a new level

when experiencing them live. The band’s live shows are marked by this effusive energy and the spec-tacle of exciting visual soundscapes that blend the sonic with the artful.

Tonight’s free concert will take place in Ford Park, just east of Vail Village on South Frontage Rd. The venue will open at 6 p.m., and the music will get started at 6:30 p.m.

state’s seven congressional districts so that each has a near equal number of people. This process accompa-nies the census every ten years, and always becomes a political battle.

Democrats presented six varia-tions of their proposal; each would expand CD2 to include more than a dozen northwestern counties.

The proposals would change the shape of CD3, which currently cov-ers most of western Colorado and the southern Front Range, to in-clude most of the southern half of the state, from the western border to

the eastern. Republicans proposed five varia-

tions of their plan, each of which would affect CD2 differently. Two would cut a small portion of Eagle County out of CD2 and cede it to CD3, and three would cut all or some of Grand County out of the district.

Discussions haven’t begun in ear-nest about the proposals, but Club 20, a lobbying group that represents western Colorado communities, released a statement opposing the Democratic proposal last night.

The proposal fails to group “com-munities of interest” together, the proposal reads, and would create districts with too wide a diversity of communities.

“We need a common sense ap-proach in the definition of Congres-sional Districts,” Club 20 Execu-tive Director Bonnie Peterson said in the statement. “Communities of interest should be preserved and not be victims of partisan politics.”

A final proposal from the redis-tricting committee is not due before the governor until September.

that.”This newfound love for vinyl isn’t

spurred by the people who grew up with 45s and B-sides. Despite the look and feel of Eagle Valley Mu-sic, what he describes as “the kind of shop you would find in the ‘70s,” his customer base is made largely of 20-somethings.

“It’s that core demographic ad-vertisers always go for but don’t know where they’ll spend their

money,” Robbins said. “It’s a very indie crowd.”

The influence of this young, hip set is immediately recognized in some of the more unexpected piec-es on sale today, including a Lady Gaga 12-inch.

While his day-to-day customers tend to border on the Generation X, Robbins expects music lovers of every variety to take part in Record Store Day. He predicts between 300

and 400 people will visit from the time doors open at 10 a.m. to clos-ing at midnight.

Along with vinyl, Eagle Valley Music will also have mounds of free posters, stickers, and other gear available throughout the day, even for casual browsers. Music enthu-siasts, however enthused by their finds, may only buy one copy of the same particular item.

President Barack Obama, Republi-cans controlling the House pushed to passage yesterday a bold but po-litically dangerous budget blueprint to slash social safety net programs like food stamps and Medicaid and fundamentally restructure Medicare health care for the elderly. The GOP budget passed 235-193 with every Democrat voting “no.”

Gadhafi forces attack rebel city in western LibyaMoammar Gadhafi’s troops

launched a powerful assault with tanks and rockets yesterday on Misrata, the last major rebel city in western Libya, sending residents fleeing to increasingly crowded safe areas of the city that are still out of the Libyan leader’s reach, witnesses said.

Misrata has become emblematic of the limits of NATO’s air cam-paign, with the alliance’s top mili-tary commander saying he needs more precision attack aircraft to avoid civilian casualties in urban combat.

Tear gas, batons thwart Syrian

march on capitalTens of thousands of protesters

shouting “We want freedom!” made a bold march on the Syrian capital yesterday, but security forces beat them back with tear gas and batons as the country’s monthlong upris-ing swelled to the largest and most widespread gatherings to date, wit-nesses and activists said.

The violence outside of Damas-cus was the only major unrest re-ported during protests in several Syrian cities yesterday, with secu-rity forces generally watching from the sidelines instead of cracking down. The change suggests Presi-dent Bashar Assad may be trying to minimize deaths that have served to further outrage and mobilize the protesters.

other alleged victims of a Brit-ish tabloid phone-hacking scandal could push ahead with suing the News of The World newspaper, a judge said yesterday.

High Court judge Geoffrey Vos said the four cases should not be de-layed by an ongoing criminal inves-tigation into the tabloid’s conduct.

Police were investigating the pa-per to establish its role in a series of illegal interceptions into celebrities’ mobile phone voicemails, and three of the paper’s journalists have been detained for questioning.

Dalai Lama raises concern

about monastery crisis

The Dalai Lama yesterday asked the international community to per-suade the Chinese leadership to ex-ercise restraint in handling the lat-est troubles at a blockaded Tibetan monastery in western China.

The Kirti monastery, housing nearly 2,500 monks, has been com-pletely surrounded since March 16 by Chinese armed forces, who at one point prevented food and other vital supplies from entering the mo-nastic compound, the Tibetan spiri-tual leader said in a statement.

A 20-year-old monk at Kirti set himself on fire last month in protest against Beijing, making his death a focal point for local anger and set-ting up the latest round of tensions.

Va. Tech mulls appeal as it marks grim anniversary

Four years after a troubled stu-dent gunned down 32 in a campus rampage, Virginia Tech officials remain adamant that they did noth-ing wrong by waiting two hours to warn the campus that a gunman was on the loose.

Today, the school will mourn the victims of the April 16, 2007 mass shooting — the worst in modern U.S. history — with a 3.2-mile Run for Remembrance and a candlelight vigil. Meanwhile, school officials are strongly leaning toward appeal-ing a $55,000 fine for violating fed-eral law with its response the day of the shootings.

“Truth, accountability, apol-ogy, forgiveness — you have to get through the first three to get to the fourth,” said Joseph Samaha, whose daughter Reema was killed. “Somebody needs to say “I made a mistake.’”

that dealt a blow to the country’s self-image as a victim of atrocities, not a perpetrator, during the Balkan wars of the early 1990s.

Croatian war veterans denounced the outcome and said Gen. Ante Gotovina was being persecuted for legitimate actions meant to liberate Serb-occupied territory.

The Yugoslav war crimes tribu-nal, created in 1993 while the Bal-kan wars were at their height, has convicted mostly Serb political and military leaders for plunging the re-gion into the most vicious bloodlet-ting in Europe since World War II.

Scientists: Controllers need naps on the jobThe best solution to the problem

of sleepy air traffic controllers is more sleeping on the job, scientists say.

But that would be a radical change for the Federal Aviation Admin-istration. Current regulations for-bid sleeping at work, even during breaks. Controllers who are caught can be suspended or fired.

Experts say that kind of thinking is outdated. “There should be sanc-tioned on-shift napping. That’s the way to handle night shift work,” said Gregory Belenky, a sleep ex-pert at Washington State Univer-sity in Spokane. There are plenty of other scientists in the U.S. and around the world who agree with him. Sleep studies show that night-time workers who are allowed “re-cuperative breaks” are more alert when they return to their tasks.

Mom on Facebook

sentenced in son’s death

A northern Colorado woman who was playing a game on Face-book while her 13-month-old baby drowned in a bathtub was sentenced yesterday to 10 years in prison.

Shannon Johnson, 34, of Fort Lupton, cried as District Judge Thomas Quammen told her he didn’t think she was a bad person or that she killed her son on purpose, the Greeley Tribune reported. But, he added, that doesn’t mean her ac-tion wasn’t criminal.

Johnson pleaded guilty in March to negligently causing the death of her child.

Wills-and-Kate movie: So bad

it’ll be a cult classic

Critics say a new made-for-TV, Wills-and-Kate movie is so bad it may end up being a cult classic.

“William and Kate: The Movie” treats the Windsor dynasty as day-time soap opera. The low-budget movie is getting plenty of attention in Britain, for all the wrong rea-sons.

“So bad it’s awful, toe-curling-ly, teeth-furringly, pillow-bitingly ghastly,” was the verdict yesterday in The Guardian newspaper, which concluded the flick was probably destined to be a smash.

The movie chronicles the univer-

sity romance of Prince William and Kate Middleton, who while study-ing art history at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.

Guard shacks planned for

Dillon Dam RoadMore permanent security mea-

KYSL reports that guard shacks with reinforced drop-down gates will be installed on both sides of the Dillon Dam Road. Work is expected to begin next month.

Denver Water has been closing the road at night since July 2008 because of an undisclosed security threat. At first the closures were around the clock but authorities switched to overnight closures be-cause of public outcry.

The dam holds back about 80 bil-lion gallons of water above Silver-thorne and Interstate 70, which is a significant part of the Denver area’s water supply.

ATHLETIC STUFFRockies shut out Cubs,

continue dominationJhoulys Chacin tossed a six-hitter for his first career

complete game, Chris Iannetta hit a bases-clearing triple and the Colorado Rockies won their seventh straight, beating the Chicago Cubs 5-0 last night.

The Rockies are off to their best start in franchise history, improving to 11-2 behind the performance of Chacin, who’s picking up the slack quite nicely with ace Ubaldo Jimenez sidelined due to a cracked cuticle on his right thumb.

In windy and cool conditions, Chacin (3-0) struck out seven and walked two. He smacked his fist into his glove when the Rockies recorded a 5-4-3 double play to end the game.

This was the second start this season in which Cha-cin has held a team scoreless. The 23-year-old righty bottled up the Los Angeles Dodgers for seven innings on April 5.

Todd Helton added an RBI single while Iannetta had just the second triple of the season for the Rockies, who own the best record in baseball.

Matt Garza (0-2) turned in a third straight erratic per-formance, surrendering five runs and seven hits in six innings. That despite doing what most pitchers haven’t been able to recently: Limit the damage done by Carlos Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzki. The three and four hit-ters in Colorado’s lineup were a combined 1 for 8 on the night.

Garza was acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays in the offseason to bolster the Cubs’ rotation. He won 15 games with the Rays in 2010.

The hard-throwing righty’s undoing yesterday was the second inning.

With the bases loaded, Iannetta hit a pitch from Garza to deep center that Marlon Byrd couldn’t quite corral. All three runs scored and when Starlin Castro’s relay throw to third ended up in the dugout, Iannetta saun-tered home, too.

The rally was started with a single from Tulowitzki, one of the hottest hitters in the league.

The smooth-swinging shortstop had a torrid four-game series in New York against the Mets, going 10 for 16 with four homers and eight RBIs.

Tulowitzki took a little time to get his swing dialed in — he started the season in an 0 for 9 funk after signing a lucrative long-term deal over the winter — but now even his outs are loud. He entered the game leading the majors with seven homers.

He’s putting together the type of tear like he had last September, when he hit 15 homers, a franchise record for a month.

Tulowitzki insists hitting isn’t as easy as he’s making it look right now.

“At any point and time, you can go south. I know that,” Tulowitzki said. “Just trying to do what I do out there and trying to play the game hard.”

The Rockies have switched around their starting ro-tation, pushing ace Jimenez’s return to the mound back a day.

Jimenez, who’s on the 15-day disabled list, was scheduled to throw Monday to open a three-game se-ries with San Francisco.

Now, Esmil Rogers will face Tim Lincecum and the

Giants, while Jimenez goes Tuesday.Rockies manager Jim Tracy said yesterday the deci-

sion was made not so much because of the condition of Jimenez’s cut on his pitching hand, but to keep Rogers on his regular pitching schedule.

“It’s good. I don’t feel any pain,” Jimenez said of the injury before the game.

Federer eliminated in quarterfinals at

Monte CarloRoger Federer yesterday suffered his earliest tourna-

ment exit since Wimbledon last year, losing to Jurgen Melzer 6-4, 6-4 at the Monte Carlo Masters quarterfi-nals.

With dust and clay blowing off the court, Federer was ousted from his first clay-court tournament of the season.

“I don’t think I played terrible. I thought it was OK,” he said. “It was still the first week of clay, so I don’t expect myself to play my very best.”

Melzer sealed the victory when the second-seeded Federer chopped a weak forehand into the net. Melzer next plays fourth-seeded David Ferrer of Spain, who defeated 11th-seeded Viktor Troicki of Serbia 6-3, 6-3.

“I have beaten Rafa (Nadal) last year. I have beaten Nole (Djokovic). So this was the one missing,” Melzer said. “I had a few shots on the line, a few bad bounces that were going my way. You need that to beat Roger.”

This latest defeat raises more questions about wheth-er Federer is slipping further behind Nadal and Djok-

ATHLETIC STUFFovic.

“Well, always a surprise when Roger lose, because he’s unbelievable what he did in this sport,” Nadal said. “But, you know, the day was difficult, I said before. That probably didn’t help him a lot.”

McIlroy finds himself in early lead ... again

Rory McIlroy is rebounding quite nicely after his collapse in the final round of the Masters.

The 21-year-old from Northern Ireland shot an 8-un-der 64 in the rain-shortened second round of the Ma-laysian Open yesterday and shares the lead with Alex-ander Noren of Sweden at 11-under 133. Nore had a 69 to go with his first-round 64.

Rory McIlroy weathered the heat and rain to shoot a blistering round on Day 2 of the Malaysian Open.

Play at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club was halted for nearly three hours before it resumed. Later, it was suspended because of thunder and lightning.

Masters champion Charl Schwartzel was among 77 players who failed to complete their rounds. Play is scheduled to resume today.

McIlroy led last week’s Masters for 63 holes before a back nine of 43 crushed his hopes of winning a major tournament.

He said he’s in “great position” heading into the weekend.

“It helps when you have a morning tee time here as you are up pretty early,” McIlroy said of yesterday’s round. “I went out and played well, and holed a couple of putts. I’ve been driving the ball pretty good, which you need to around here.”

Simon Dyson of England was one stroke off the lead after shooting a 64, while top-ranked Martin Kaymer of Germany was eight strokes back after a 71.

Noren struggled with the tropical weather.“I had 14 great holes, but the heat got to me and I was

just counting how many holes I had left,” he said.

Lenny Dykstra in big trouble

Former New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Lenny Dykstra was arrested for investigation

of grand theft, a day after he was charged with a federal bankruptcy crime, authorities said yesterday.

Dykstra, 48, was arrested Thursday night by Los An-geles police at his Encino home on suspicion of trying to buy a stolen car, police spokesman Officer Christo-pher No said. He did not have other details.

Dykstra remained jailed yesterday.His arrest came a day after Dykstra, in an unrelated

federal complaint, was charged with embezzling from a bankruptcy estate. He faces up to five years in federal prison if convicted.

Dykstra, who bought a Ventura County mansion once owned by hockey star Wayne Gretzky, filed for bank-ruptcy in 2009, claiming that he owed more than $31 million and had only $50,000 in assets.

Federal prosecutors contend that after filing, Dykstra hid, sold or destroyed more than $400,000 worth of items from the $18.5 million mansion without permis-sion of a bankruptcy trustee.

The items allegedly ranged from sports memorabilia to a $50,000 sink. At one point, he sold “a truckload of furnishing and fixtures” for cash at a consignment store, according to a statement from the U.S. attorney’s office.

It was not immediately clear whether Dykstra had obtained an attorney, U.S. attorney’s office spokesman Thom Mrozek said.

Dykstra spent 12 years in the big leagues and helped the Mets to the World Series championship in 1986. He was a three-time All-Star in the 1990s while with the Phillies. He had the nickname “Nails” and was known for his rowdy behavior on and off the field.

In 2007, the Mitchell Report on steroid use in pro baseball mentioned allegations that Dykstra had used steroids. Dykstra has denied using performance-en-hancing drugs.

After retiring, Dykstra had a number of business ven-tures, including owning a car wash, and wrote a stock-picking column on TheStreet.com, a financial website founded by TV host Jim Cramer.

However, he also was the subject of a number of law-suits.

In January, his housekeeper alleged that Dykstra forced her to provide sexual favors but he denied the allegations and Los Angeles County prosecutors de-clined to file criminal charges.

Duran. Duran, Jared Kirkman, Joe Webb and Joe Lybarger were responsible for driving in the runs that gave the Huskies the lead at 6-5 in the fourth.

Glenwood Springs didn’t let that Hus-ky lead last long, scoring four runs of their own in the fourth to extend their lead back to three at 9-6.

Battle Mountain kept clipping away at the Demons lead, scoring in each of the last three innings, only to see Glenwood Springs respond with runs of their own and eventually end the game with a 12-9 win in game one.

“It was a good battle, we kept swing-ing,” said Husky coach Jason Spannagel. “We’ll get them this next game.”

Thanks to Battle Mountain’s pitcher Robbins and his knee-buckling curve-ball, coach Spannagel was right, as the Huskies came away with a win in game two 6-0.

The first inning didn’t look so promis-ing for the now home team Battle Moun-tain, as Glenwood loaded the bases with no outs, but thanks to a little luck and some good defense the Huskies came away without being harmed.

Pellerito wouldn’t waste any time for the Huskies, setting the table once again with a lead-off single in the bottom of the

first, followed by a thunderous double to dead center for Michael Jones to setup runners in scoring position with nobody out. Next to the plate was catcher Davey Honda who smoked a ground-rule dou-ble scoring both runners, Honda scored shortly on a Duran sacrifice fly giving the Huskies a 3-0 lead. A pitcher’s duel ensued as both teams were held score-less over the next two innings, until Battle Mountain broke out the lumber, or aluminum, again in the bottom of the fourth inning. After three big at-bats for the Huskies loaded the bases with no outs, it was Joe Webb stepping up to the plate. Webb took an extremely low fast-ball and put a charge into it, sending a line shot into right field that scooted un-der the glove of the fielder unloading the bases, and extending Battle Mountain’s lead to an insurmountable 6-0.

The rest of the game was controlled by the right arm of starting pitcher Robbins, as none of the Demons could keep their weight back long enough to touch any of Robbins nasty off-speed pitches. Finish-ing up the complete game mastery was Robbins, and in doing so helped his team walk away with a split of the afternoon doubleheader by a final score of 6-0.
