THE UPDATE

The commissioners reiterated Mon-day that the cause is right, but the cost is still wrong and said no – for now- to a conservation easement on the Colorado River Ranch.

The Eagle Valley Land Trust Monday reduced its request that the county pony up $4.7 million to help conserve the 1,017-acre Colorado River Ranch.

The county commissioners countered that they’d commit to $3 million from the tax-supported open space funds.

The commissioners’ arithmetic works like this:

• The commissioners said they’d be

willing to go with the price of the ranch two years ago, $10 million, not $13.25 million valuation connected with the conservation easement appraisal.

• 60 percent of that $10 million is the value of a conservation easement, or $6 million.

• The commissioners said they’d com-mit to half of that, $3 million.

• The county was being asked to fund $5.7 million of a conservation easement said to be worth $7.9 million.

“Use that as a starting point to deal with other funding organizations and come back,” said Commissioner Sara Fisher.

And they will be back, said Land Trust Director Kara Heide. The Land Trust has

two grants due this week, with more on the near horizon.

“Now we go out and raise more mon-ey,” said Heide.

The commissioners encouraged the Land Trust to look elsewhere for money, instead of the county’s open space fund. In its original request, the Land Trust calculated what other organizations could contribute, then asked the county for the $5.7 million difference.

“I’m challenged that the county’s open space dollars looked at, instead of rais-ing as much money as possible then asking the county to fill the gap,” Fisher said. “We have a certain number of open space dollars available and I’m going to be hard pressed to convince our commu-

nity, even at the reduced price point, to tell them that we spent half of it on this property. I don’t want to pull the plug on this.”

Commissioner Jon Stavney said any transaction involves a willing buyer and a willing seller, calling the appraiser sug-gests a meeting point.

“It seems to me that $13.25 million makes no sense; $10 million makes sense,” he said. “I respectfully implore the owners and the Land Trust to go find more funding partners.”

The ranch owners bought the property in December 2007, with an eye on trad-ing it for land near Gypsum that they could develop. They bought it for $9.6

Jackopierce rocks Vail tonightOne of the hardest working bands of

the 90’s will bring their own “Promise of Summer” to the Gerald R. Ford Am-phitheater Tuesday evening, June 30, as acoustic duo Jackopierce head the valley into the 4th of July weekend, courtesy of their Bud Light Hot Summer Nights, presented by Volvo, free show.

Guitarists/singers Jack O’Neill and Cary Pierce founded the duo in 1988, while both were attending Southern Methodist University in Dallas as the-ater majors. Honing a charmingly sim-ple, low-key sound, centered around vo-cal harmonies and acoustic guitars, the two developed a strong local following around the Dallas area, slipping under the mainstream’s radar to earn a wide-spread following on college campuses.

Jackopierce traveled the world over the next ten years, racking up three con-tinents, 10 countries and 44 of the 50 states. The duo sold out venues every-where they went, sharing stages with the likes of the Dave Matthews Band,

Matchbox 20, Counting Crows, The Wallflowers, Sheryl Crow, Lyle Lovett and many others.

However, all good things must come to an end it seems, and in 1997, O’Neill

2 Vail Mountaineer Tuesday, June 30, 2009

Death waits for no man, even in youthful Vail.But you can definitely prepare, if you want to, by

picking out a spot at the Vail Memorial Park, east of the Vail Golf Course on town-owned land.

After opening in 2004, the park recently opened a new section in the aspen trees east of the original sec-tion. A new “pet park” is also now open.

“It’s quiet, and it’s definitely more meditative,” Chip Domke, the park’s caretaker, said of the new spot. “There’s less disturbance to the surroundings, so you really feel like you’re part of the hillside.”

New memorial wallA new memorial wall has been built, among other

things. The memorial park allows ashes from crema-tions, only. There’s no room for caskets. It’s a not-for-profit proposition, although sales of the memorial stones and benches in the park to toward a perpetual care fund to pay for maintenance.

“It’s further to the east, nestled back in the trees,” Domke said.

Diane Lazier chose spots in the expanded part of the park for her mother and father, who died last year.

Stones in the park are $2,000; benches are $10,000. The spot is seen as an inexpensive alternative to a buri-al in a city cemetery for about $10,000 to $15,000. Cre-mations, including a spot where ashes are kept, usually run about $6,000 to $10,000.

Everyone welcomeThe idea is that any worker in Vail could afford to

have ashes memorialized at the park, Domke said..“It’s a price point where a bartender who worked

here all of his life could afford it,” Domke said. “The people on the board, that’s always their question — if a guy who worked for me for 15 years died, if everybody threw $50 on the bar, they could do it.”

Board members will be on hand from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. this afternoon to discuss the new available spaces with anyone who is planning in advance. To get to the spot, park at the East Vail exit parking lot, cross Bighorn Road, and walk west about one-quarter of a mile on the town bike path.

This time of year, it’s usually relatively safe to go inner tubing on Gore Creek.

Public safety folks are warning folks to be more careful this year, however, especially after 2-year-old Colin Cassi-dy of Edgewater died after being pulled from the creek on Sunday.

“I’m very concerned about it because usually for Fourth of July you can hop in on your inner tube, without any pro-tection,” said Vail Police Chief Dwight Henninger.

“People should look at Gore Creek very differently than they usually do this time of year. It’s significantly higher than it is usually this time of year.”

Fast-moving water around the coun-ty in recent weeks has been fueled by frequent rains and cool weather. Many snowdrifts near treeline still have not melted.

Cold, icy water can catch even adults by surprise, said Doug Schofield, swift water rescue operations chief with the Vail Mountain Rescue Group, a volun-teer group that operates under the over-sight of the Eagle County Sheriff’s Of-fice.

“Even if it doesn’t look very fast, the water is still very cold,” Schofield said. “Even if you’re one of the best swim-mers in the world, if there’s a strong cur-rent, things will escalate quickly.”

For example, on Friday, the Eagle River was running at 2,190 cubic feet per second. Over the last nine years, it’s usually running at about one-third of that level, or 867 cubic feet per second, ac-

cording to federal statistics.As water levels start to drop and out-

side temperatures go up, lots of people with inner tubes and “Walmart rafts” de-cide it’s OK to venture out on the water, Schofield said. He suggests folks should take all reasonable safety precautions and consider going with a local guide company rather than go alone.

“The water is still high, and it’s not something to be taken lightly,” Schofield said. “This time of year, people who are a little more unprepared are going out.”

Even going with someone who is more prepared can help a novice, Schofield said. And it goes without saying that parents should keep an eye on their kids; and pet owners should keep an eye on their pets, he said.

Cassidy disappeared while on a walk along a recreation path that runs parallel to Gore Creek, according to a Vail press statement. His mother, Sara Cassidy, had been tending to Colin’s baby sister when she noticed that her son had disap-peared.

No one saw the toddler enter the creek.

The boy’s body was found approxi-mately one mile downstream at 10:17 a.m. when a construction worker from the Ritz-Carlton pulled the toddler from the stream east of the Cascade Resort.

Two passersby administered CPR on the toddler until paramedics arrived. He was transported to Vail Valley Medical Center where he was later pronounced dead.

The family, along with the boy’s fa-ther, Chris Cassidy, had been in Vail at-tending a lacrosse tournament.

Vail Cabaret Nights re-turns to the Marketplace on Vail’s Meadow Drive for the summer season starting to-morrow.

A total of 18 singing wait-ers and waitresses are part of this season’s cast, which in-cludes several new and very talented performers.

17 performances are scheduled for this season, which will feature “the best of Broadway music.”

Cabaret Nights artistic di-rector Rayla Kundolf says the show has raised the bar in talent this year.

“Vail’s home grown are out of school and back from college for the summer,” said Kundolf. “They have been

working hard and are bringing their own personali-ties into each song they sing. It is truly like a breath of fresh air working with this ensemble of singers. Caba-

ret Nights is an event that should not be missed!”The fun-filled evenings of live Broadway music also

include the award-winning tapas, pizza and crepes from Marketplace on Meadow Drive. In addition, there is a wide selection of wine, cocktails and beer.

Performances of Vail Cabaret Nights are from 8-10 p.m. on the same evenings as the Bravo! Music Festi-val performances held at the Gerald R. Ford Amphithe-ater. Concert goers can easily walk to Marketplace on Meadow Drive after the Bravo performance and enjoy a light dinner with live entertainment.

Vail Cabaret Nights is lead by Rayla Kundolf and music director Taylor Kundolf. Rayla is from Santa Fe, where she was one of the founding troubadours at La Casa Sena – one of the places that served as the inspira-tion for Vail Cabaret Nights. Taylor is an accomplished entertainer and pianist who has performed for audienc-es all over the world.

Cabaret Nights is free and reservations are accepted by calling 477-4373 but not required. Parking is located at the Vail Transportation Center, where the parking is free.

ALLEGEDLY! 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.

LET THE MAN SLEEP: It’s a marriage made somewhere south of Heaven. He was sleeping, on that they both agree. His less-than beloved came to his apartment, let herself in, kicked in his door and smacked him – just think of it as being lectured severely about the head and shoulders. She started to scream at him, just in case she didn’t have his full attention by now. He apparently needed his rest and after she managed to show herself to the door, he closed it behind her. About that time, he heard a loud banging noise, and opened to door to see that his less-than beloved had fallen down the stairs. His less-than beloved had told Sheriff’s deputies that she had tripped and fallen down the stairs, and when the medics showed up to check her over, they determined that she had enough alcohol coursing through her veins that it would knock her off any surface on which she attempted to stand. Apparently she was not interested in standing on her own because she told deputies she had her knickers in a twist because he no longer wanted to take care of her or see her again anywhere this side of the next life. The deputies left a message with victims services explaining that he would not be requiring their kind attention, and that he just wanted to get back to sleep – without his less-than beloved, who met lots

of new friends upon her arrival at the Eagle County Crossbar Hotel.

DUDE, THE INTERNET IS FREE: She was cleaning up after a long day of earning her daily bread by the sweat of her brow. The woman and her husband work for a living. Allegedly Peeping Tom does not. She more or less had a conniption when she glanced out the window and saw a guy with a mustache looking in from the outside, staring at her. So, naturally, she screamed for her husband who was sleeping. Being a True American, he exercised his constitutionally-guaranteed Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms, and point them at anyone staring at his wife through the bathroom window. They called the cops, she gave them a description, they quickly found the guy and she became pretty darned upset when it came time to positively identify him. Sheriff’s deputies took pictures of him, and the soles of his tennis shoes, which didn’t have any grass or residue one might possibly pick up if one were an Allegedly Peeping Tom.

BURGLAR BABE’S BACk DOOR BLUNDER: He was reading a magazine article, something like “Quantum Mechanics Applied to Field and Stream,” when he heard a loud bang at the back door that he had not caused. He popped off the couch to investigate and met Burglar Babe strolling thought the kitchen. She insisted she was just looking for her jacket and surely it’s on the back of this chair right here. He said, “No it’s not and don’t call me Shirley.” He and his roommate had discussed this sort of thing before, and decided that the further she

One might be inclined to say that the Vail Valley Foundation has figuratively gone to the ends of the earth to find their newest Cornerstone Partner as Quark Expeditions, the acknowledged leader in polar adven-tures since 1991, has signed on to help support the non-profit organization’s overall slate of programming.

Based in Norwalk, Connecticut, Quark Expeditions features the largest and most diverse fleet of passenger vessels in the Antarctic, including the only helicopter-equipped, polar-class icebreaker outfitted for expedi-tions in Antarctic waters.

Their nuclear-powered icebreaker crushes its way to the North Pole, while a polar-class icebreaker journeys at latitudes well above the Arctic Circle. Each icebreak-er is equipped with helicopters and Zodiacs, enabling passengers to reach remote locations that other vessels in the Arctic cannot.

“We are extremely excited to literally and figurative-ly have Quark Expeditions on board as a Cornerstone Partner for the Vail Valley Foundation,” explained Mi-chael Imhof, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for the Foundation. “While there is definitely a cer-tain cache that having such a dynamic company brings to the organization, Quark has also provided us with several unique opportunities for raising additional dol-lars.”

Two of these opportunities involve donating Quark Expeditions trips to the North Pole as live auction items for December’s Black Diamond Ball during the Birds of Prey World Cup and March’s Hold ‘Em For Hope benefit during the American Ski Classic.

In addition, Quark has also donated a third trip to the Foundation as the grand prize for a year-long contest. Entrants can register to win the trip by visiting www.vvf.org and clicking on the Quark banner on specific event pages or by signing up at a Vail Valley Foundation

event this coming summer and winter. The contest will run through the conclusion of the 2010 Teva Mountain Games, with the grand prize winner announced June 14, 2010.

“Quark has provided us with some truly once in a lifetime opportunities for our community,” offered Vail Valley Foundation president Ceil Folz. “Congratula-tions to Mike and his team for bringing us together and we look forward to a long and exciting partnership with Quark Expeditions.”

For additional information on the Vail Valley Foun-dation, visit www.vvf.org. For more information on Quark Expeditions, check out www.quarkexpeditions.com.

Dear Mountaineer,Last week’s golf tournament to benefit

Vail Mountain School (VMS) was made even more successful because of your generous support. We are most grateful for the publicity you provided the tour-nament and were pleased to recognize you as a tee sponsor with a sign at the event.

The funds raised will be allocated to the school’s technology program, specif-ically to purchase a “Smart” Board for a fifth grade classroom and toward the purchase of a new server which is sorely needed. Thank you so much for helping to make this possible.

Given the enthusiasm for the VMS Golf Tournament, you can count on it becoming an annual event.

Again, my thanks for all you continue to do for the school.

Nancy Young, VMS Director of Devel-opment

Vail Memorial Park a special place

Dear Mountaineer,As a Board member of the Vail Me-

morial Park, I would like to express our appreciation for the excellent article you wrote about the Park in the Vail Moun-taineer. The Vail Memorial Park is a spe-cial place where the lives of the many people who have helped to define Vail can be remembered and celebrated. Ev-eryone is welcome at our Open House, which will take place on June 30, from 4-6 pm. Come and see the beautiful new Phase II extension of the Park, which is located just off the bicycle path roughly 1/4 mile west of the pedestrian bridge over Gore Creek. Thanks to you and the Mountaineer for your good work in making this information available.

doff to the maximum of 150 years in prison, a term comparable only to those given in the past to terrorists, traitors and the most violent criminals. There is no pa-role in federal prison so Madoff will most likely die there.

“Here, the message must be sent that Mr. Madoff’s crimes were extraordinarily evil and that this kind of ir-responsible manipulation of the system is not merely a bloodless financial crime that takes place just on paper, but it is instead ... one that takes a staggering human toll,” Chin said.

The massive Ponzi scheme run by Madoff since at least the early 1990s demolished the life savings of thousands of people, wrecked charities and shook con-fidence in the U.S. financial system.

The actual loss so far has been put at $13.2 billion. But the judge said that was a conservative estimate and noted that even Madoff told his sons in December it was a $50 billion fraud.

The sentence reflected a growing tendency over the last decade to give white-collar criminals lengthy pris-on terms — although a handful of cases have received even longer terms. The outcome prompted scattered applause and whoops from a group of burned former clients in a packed Manhattan courtroom.

The judge noted that not one of the more than 100 letters he received supported Madoff or described any good deeds he had done.

Man gets life sentence in Colo. slaying of student

The family of a college student beaten to death 12 years ago told her killer that his life was spared Mon-day because his victim would not have wanted anyone, even her murderer, to receive the death penalty.

“Her empathy is her killer’s greatest salvation,” Ste-phen Chase, the victim’s brother, told Diego Olmos Al-calde during his sentencing on Monday. The 39-year-old Chilean national was convicted Friday in the 1997 rape and slaying of Susannah Chase.

Chase’s family said they met with prosecutors before

the trial to discuss whether to pursue the death penalty but they decided against it because they believed the 23-year-old University of Colorado student would be against it.

“The ironic thing is that the person whose life you stole from us is the reason you won’t be sentenced to death today,” said Doug Chase, another one of Chase’s older brothers.

Boulder District Attorney Stan Garnett said prosecu-tors considered the wishes of the Chase family, but he could not comment on whether it was determining fac-tor in their decision.

Brad Pitt for mayor?A top Louisiana scholar has launched an Internet cam-

paign to promote Brad Pitt as the Mayor of his adopted New Orleans, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.

Among the reasons cited by Tulane University pro-fessor Dr. Thomas Bayer, “Publicity and photo oppor-tunities will chase our Mayor, instead of the Mayor chasing publicity and photo opportunities.”

New Orleans businessman Josh Harvey has also joined in the campaign, having “Brad Pitt for May-

DVR just got even betterCable TV operators won a key legal battle against

Hollywood studios and television networks on Monday as the Supreme Court declined to block a new digital video recording system that could make it even easier for viewers to bypass commercials.

The justices declined to hear arguments on wheth-er Cablevision Systems Corp.’s remote-storage DVR system would violate copyright laws. That allows the Bethpage, N.Y.-based company to proceed with plans to start deploying the technology this summer.

With remote storage, TV shows are kept on the ca-ble operator’s servers instead of the DVR inside the customer’s home, as systems offered by TiVo Inc. and

cable operators currently do.The distinction is important because a remote sys-

tem essentially transforms every digital set-top box in the home into a DVR, allowing customers to sign up instantly, without the need to pick up a DVR from the nearest cable office or wait for a technician to visit.

Jackson’s family moves quickly to take charge

Michael Jackson’s family moved quickly Monday to take control of his complicated personal and financial affairs, winning temporary custody of his three children and asking a judge to name the King of Pop’s mother as administrator of his estate.

In documents filed in Superior Court, Jackson’s par-ents said they believe their 50-year-old son died with-out a valid will.

They also made it clear they believe they should take charge of both his debt-ridden but potentially lucrative

financial empire and act as permanent caretakers of his three children.

Judge Mitchell Beckloff granted 79-year-old Kath-erine Jackson temporary guardianship of the children, who range in age from 7 to 12. He did not immediately rule on her requests to take charge of the children’s and Jackson’s estates.

Beckloff scheduled a hearing for July 6 and another for Aug. 3 to consider those issues and whether Kather-ine Jackson should be appointed the children’s perma-nent guardian.

L. Londell McMillan, the family’s attorney, said in a statement that the Jacksons are pleased with the results of their Monday filings.

“Mrs. Jackson deserves custody, and the family should have the administration of the brilliance of Mr. Michael Jackson. Mrs. Jackson is a wonderful, loving and strong woman with a special family many of us have admired for years,” he said.

Last week, bee enthusiasts gathered on the steps of City Hall to push a bill that would legalize beekeeping in New York City. This week, the bees started a gather-ing of their own ...

NEW YORK (AP) — An urban bee-wrangler says a swarm of at least 8,000 honeybees will be getting a new home after causing a buzz of excitement on Man-hattan’s Upper East Side.

Onlookers applauded as the New York Police Depart-ment’s beekeeper, Officer Anthony Planakis, corralled the huge swarm Sunday on Lexington Avenue.

The bees had built a giant hive in a tree. When the queen went sightseeing, the entire swarm followed.

Onlooker Doug Becker described “a 3 foot column of bees.”

The tour group proceeded half a block before buzz-ing back to the hive.

Planakis said the bees would be taken “to a farm in Connecticut to pollinate.”

RED CLIFF COMMUNITy CHURCH invites and welcomes anyone to breakfast at 8:30 a.m., and worship service at 9:00 a.m. this Sunday, in the historic church building at 396 Eagle Street. This historic building was built between 1889-1891, but the congregation started in 1771. Regardless of large corporate church sponsorship which has come and gone, Red Cliff has maintained a continuous congregation of Christian worshippers since that time. After having been abandoned by Presbytery USA second abandonment of the Red Cliff Church, the current congregation is trying to raise ½ of $160,000 to purchase the building from a generous donor who saved it from public real estate listing, and who may match the other half (about $56,000 to go!) A Protestant-based, but ecumenically minded church, it’s defining doctrinal statement is the Apostle’s Creed, embraces the motto, “In Essentials, Unity; In Non-Essentials, Liberty” and welcomes everyone in the community to eat, worship, and fellowship together.

and Pierce decided to go their sepa-rate ways and embarked on a na-tional farewell tour. While both continued to write and record on their own, the two did not speak to one another for nearly five years.

“I had just had enough,” recalls O’Neill. “I couldn’t just take a break; I needed it to be over. I need-ed to find myself, outside of being the guy from Jackopierce.”

Eventually, both O’Neill and Pierce would release solo records, but neither of them would reach a fraction of the success that they had achieved together. Rumors circu-lated about a possible reunion for years and finally, in the summer of 2002, their old manager, Brady Wood and his brother, Brandt, got together and started making the idea a reality.

“The timing could not have been better,” says Pierce. “I was in the middle of a painful divorce, and

it seemed as though my life was falling apart. Brady and I started scheming on the phone about the reunion while Brandt was working on Jack.”

Older and wiser, both are now fathers and their priorities have un-dergone significant changes.

“We both admit that we did not realize or appreciate what we had,” says O’Neill. “There is a lot more gratitude for each other and for the gifts we have to write and play mu-sic.”

“We have been blessed with the ability to strap guitars on our backs, get on a plane, and go play a show anywhere in the country,” adds Pierce. “That is the career I always hoped we would have.”

To celebrate their two decades together and apart, Jackopierce re-leased a new CD, “Promise of Sum-mer,” in September of last year. The 11-song disc contains 10 brand-new

songs and includes a remake of a Jackopierce classic, “March.”

“The best part about producing this record,” concludes Pierce, “is that I’m a Jack O’Neill fan. He’s a great writer and he’s got an old soul. He’s from a huge, Irish, mili-tary family from Pittsburgh. There’s just a depth to him that no one can really get to.”

Tonight’s Bud Light Hot Summer Nights free concert, featuring Jacko-pierce, is presented by Gallegos Ma-sonry, with this week’s Bud Light Post Party hosted at Ski Bar. The gates of the Ford Amphitheater will open at 5:30 p.m. and Jackopierce will hit the stage at 6:30 p.m.

The Bud Light Hot Summer Nights free concert series and the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater are projects of the Vail Valley Founda-tion. For additional information, contact 949-1999 or visit www.vvf.org.

million and the appraisal finished in late May came in at $13.25 million. The appraiser did his job by the let-ter of the law, but that was little comfort to those who questioned it.

The owners, led by John Lichteneagger, have since decided to keep the ranch whole and have achieved organic certification, which is no small feat. They say they want it to be a working cattle ranch and have hired Scott Jones, a local rancher and Eagle Valley High School graduate, as the ranch manager.

“When this group bought this ranch, it was with the intention of trading it,” said Lichteneagger. “I have bought many 1,000 acre ranches and I can tell you there is no comparison.”

Last week the commissioners sent the Land Trust out to beat the bushes for money from other funding

sources. Those already committed to help are Keep it Colorado, Farm and Ranch Bureau, Ducks Unlimited, Gate Foundation.

“Our seat of the pants deal tells us that the value of land has not gone up 30 percent the last two years,” said Commissioner Peter Runyon. “We have to be very careful in understanding the true value. We have a fidu-ciary responsibility to be as good stewards as possible of the people’s money. It is not Eagle County’s duty to make a group of real estate investors come whole. This county is full of people who’ve invested in real estate during the last two years and are crying the woes.”

Mike Beltracchi of Edwards pointed out that this is a business deal. While the seller can put whatever price he wants on the property, the buyer ultimately sets the price.

stayed away from them the better off they’d all be. She continued through the house while he attended to other business and when the roommate came home she saw her scampering from his bedroom, stuffing something into her diaper bag. He ordered her away, saying that surely she had not clearly understood their instructions and that they, being Real Men and unafraid of what they might find, would be taking a look inside that diaper bag and her purse. She said, “No you won’t, and don’t call me Shirley.” Mere moments later, Roommate Man checked his room and discovered missing seven rolls of $1 coins missing – 25 coins in a roll – that’s $175 (we did the math so you won’t have to), along with 10 percocet pain pills. Mere moments after that, Burglar

Babe wandered into a local convenience store and started buying something less than healthfood, paying for it with previously uncirculated, collectible $1 gold coins stamped with Andrew Jackson’s visage, and others were stamped with John Quincy Adams’ visage, both Fathers of our Country not called Shirley. At least that’s what the security cameras say happened, and surely we can believe our eyes and those of the security camera. “Most of the time,” said the convenience store manager, “And don’t call me Shirley.” After a brief conversation with Sheriff’s deputies, Burglar Babe was whisked away to the Eagle County Crossbar Hotel where her name was entered into their guest register – and her name is not Shirley.
