THE UPDATE

It’s not natural to stand in the middle of an interstate highway, knowing no harm can come to you because there are no cars.

Order was restored to the universe yesterday when automobiles were re-turned to their natural habitat, Interstate 70, with one lane open each way through Glenwood Canyon.

Traffic is rolling again over the na-tion’s major east/west artery, through the

land that invented rock & roll, the V-8 engine, and the drive-thru window. That means Americans are again free to drive with their knees as they eat in their auto-mobiles, as God intended.

For those who believe the world might not end at the city limits of Vail and As-

pen, but that you can see it from there, a bunch of great big boulders kicked loose Sunday around midnight and crashed down onto the elevated highway in Glenwood Canyon.

The biggest one was 66 tons and the

Genre transcending musician Lyrics Born, above, brings his act to Agave in Avon tonight for a high-energy, live in-strumentation hip-hop spectacular. LB has a track on the latest Shaun White snowboarding video game and is cur-rently promoting his new album “As U Were,” although, in an exclusive interview with the Vail Mountaineer last night, he said he plans on doing a lot of older stuff as well. “Snowboarding and skateboarding culture has embraced my music,” said LB. “I’ve been very fortunate there.” He says he’ll repay the snow culture fans tonight with a 1.5 hour performance. “Sometimes we go longer, it just de-pends on the vibe,” he said. He’ll be joined by rapper Mr. Lif along with Constance Lopez and DJ D-Sharp. Doors open at 9:30, cost is $20 at the door.

Ski Museum loses beloved historian

VRD bringing 4-time Olympian to town for skatealong

Pat Pfeiffer passed away last week

The Colorado Ski & Snowboard Museum has lost a dear friend. Our historian, Patricia Ann Pfeiffer, passed away in Colorado Springs on March 3, 2010. Luckily for us, Pat dis-covered her passion for skiing back in the 1940s at Winter Park while attending college at Colorado College, where she met her future husband Bill Pfeiffer. Their passion for skiing led Pat and Bill to be part owners of Pikes Peak ski area. She used to tell us back in the old days, ski attire was 10th Mountain Division jackets purchased at the surplus stores and ski fashion was for city slickers.

The following quote from Pat explains why, in the lat-ter half of her life, she helped launch the Colorado Ski & Snowboard Museum

“Skiing in Colorado is not only a recreation; it was instru-mental in settling the state, thus helping to form the nation,” Pfeiffer said. “It was a method of communication, mail de-livery, mining operations, getting to school, etc. and it be-came a major recreational industry in the country and the world. Colorado’s skiing is distinctive and attracts a world audience and is considered by many to be the best in the

Obama to donate Nobel proceeds

President Barack Obama plans to do-nate the $1.4 million from his Nobel Peace Prize to helping students, veter-ans’ families and survivors of Haiti’s earthquake, among others, drawing at-tention to organizations he said “do ex-traordinary work.”

Obama is giving a total of $750,000 to six groups that help kids go to col-lege. Fisher House, which provides housing for families with loved ones at Veterans Administration hospitals, will receive $250,000, the White House said Thursday. And the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund, for which two former presidents are raising money to rebuild earthquake-ravaged Haiti, will receive $200,000.

GRAND OPENING SPECIAL

The Vail Valley Partnership’s president and CEO is stepping down, the organization announced yesterday.

Michael Kurz plans to reopen his marketing and consulting business, he said in a written statement.

Glenn Davis, chairman of the VVP’s board of governors, said the organization will concentrate on generating group and conference business, education and networking programming. The VVP will also become more of a year-round advocate for the small-business community, Davis said.

The Vail Valley Partnership has nearly 600 members in a wide range of businesses.

Kurz has led the organization since 2008, and has spent the last several months working with the staff and

board of governors to refine the organization’s mission. The VVP provides support in business development, political, local and national issues related to regional and destination marketing, sales, promotions and ad-vertising.

“Michael has been instrumental in helping us estab-lish both a vision and initiatives that make sense in today’s economic environment,” Davis said. “His gra-cious exit strategy has given us a solid platform for the future. On behalf of the community, we thank him for his hard work and perseverance and wish him well as an established member of the VVP.”

Kurz joined the organization after a long career in marketing, which began in 1973.

He came to the Vail Valley Partnership in February, 2008 from Kurz McDonald, Inc., a brand development consulting firm he founded in 1998.

Kurz’s last day is March 26. The VVP has no imme-diate plans to replace his position, the statement said.

Local family loseseverything in fire

Kim Steggall is pregnant and her house burned down while she was at her doctor.

She was at her doctor because her contractions started a month and a half early.

If that’s not enough, her doctor is in Glenwood Springs, on the other side of those massive boulders that closed I-70 this week.

Whatever you’re going through, it’s not that bad. Stop complaining and help these people.

They lost everything, so they need ev-erything.

“Their main need right now is an af-fordable place to live,” said Janet Jor-dan, who’s helping coordinate the relief effort.

Right now, the family is staying in a local motel.

The community is beginning to rally.Once they have a place to live, the Red

Hill Elementary School PTO is hosting a housewarming.

Then the fifth graders at RHES will throw a baby shower.

Here’s why.Kim and Cody are expecting a child in

the extremely near future. They already have Matthew, an Eagle Valley High School freshman, and Ronnie, a fifth grader at Red Hill Elementary School in Gypsum.

Cody was in Pennsylvania working in the oil industry – 14 days on and 14 days off - when his father died a few weeks ago. He was also in Pennsylvania when their house burned.

He’s back here now, helping the fam-ily get situated.

“I wouldn’t wish all this on anyone,” Kim said.

They have two dogs and need a three bedroom place with an understanding landlord, Jordan said.

“They understand that they might have to find a temporary home for their dogs,” Jordan said.

About that dayThe day started well enough. It was last

Friday, when the kids were out of school. Matthew went fishing with his uncle and Ronnie went with his mom to the doc-tor’s office in Glenwood Springs.

That afternoon, Matthew and his uncle rolled into the driveway to the sight of

his house ablaze.“Matthew didn’t even wait for the

truck to stop,” Kim said. “He jumped out and ran into the house to rescue the dogs.”

When Matthew called Kim in Glen-wood, he was understandably hysteri-cal.

“He was screaming, ‘The house is on fire!’” Kim said. “I kept asking him what it was like, but he was too upset to de-scribe it.”

Kim didn’t know what to expect as she sped back from Glenwood to Dotsero.

“I thought maybe they’d put it out and everything would be OK,” she said.

It wasn’t OK.Several fire departments responded, all

bringing tanker trucks because Dotsero’s water system would not generate enough pressure to put out the fire.

They finally put it out, only to have it flare up again in the attic.

Long live the iguanaEverything in the house is gone, de-

stroyed by fire, smoke and water.Except the iguana. The boys had a

3-foot iguana. They still do, thanks to a local fire fighter.

When the Gypsum fire department sped to the scene, the boys excitedly told them about the iguana still trapped in-side, in its cage.

One of those fire fighters pulled down his mask, strapped on his oxygen and walked into that house to save that iguana.

You should have been there.“It would have been a great picture,

that fire fighter carrying that iguana in his arms out the front door,” Kim said. “He was in a cage in the house, but the cage is way too big to bring through there.”

She couldn’t remember the fire fight-er’s name, but she and the boys sure are grateful.

So far, the insurance company is refus-ing to cover any of their personal items. The company, Home First, might not even cover the note on their house.

How to helpKim Steggall is pregnant and she and

her family lost everything in a house fire. Her doctor has ordered bed rest until the baby arrives.

They need everything. To help, call Janet Jordan at 390-7753.

There’s also an account open US Bank that you can donate to. Just tell them it’s for Kim Steggall.

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.

We’ll call him Village Idiot and the last thing he said before them slammed the cell door was accurate: “I was drunk in the Village and they took me in.”

First, he wouldn’t get in the Vail patrol car. Then he wouldn’t get out. Generally drunks are much more decisive, but alcohol seems to have increased Village Idiot’s attention deficit disorder.

Vail police often search for people like this, and they don’t have to look far. They found Village Idiot passed out near Checkpoint Charlie, smiling up at the stars as he slumbered away on a crisp winter Vail night. A couple tree-huggers stumbled by as the police arrived, looked at Village Idiot sleeping under the stars and were heard to say, “Ooooh, that’s real freedom.”

The officers set new outdoor records for eye rolling and said, “He probably won’t be free for long.” Turns out they were right.

They patted down Village Idiot, and found a 750-mil-liliter bottle of vodka with the lid slightly ajar and leak-ing into Village Idiot’s pants. They also found a screw-driver, a real screwdriver and not the drink you make with vodka and orange juice. Apparently Village Idiot wanted to stagger up to girls in bars and say, “Hey, wanna check out my tool?”

Village Idiot proclaimed that he’d seen lots of Law and Order and he knew his rights, and he had the rights to his stuff. He demanded that the leaking vodka bottle and screwdriver be replaced in his pockets.

The officers have seen stuff like screwdrivers and vodka bottles used as weapons against them, and could not visualize Village Idiot with them back in his pos-session. Instead, they accessorized his ensemble with some stylish wrist wear, and stuffed him into the back of the patrol car. It seems he didn’t want a ride to jail.

During their ride, Village Idiot decided he was a con-tortionist, one of those people who can bend themselves into positions that do not occur naturally in actual hu-mans. He tried to step through the handcuffs behind his back.

They got stuck behind his bohiney, which answered that ancient question, “Boxers or briefs?”

Now that he was in the back seat of a perfectly com-fortable patrol car, he refused to get out. The officers pulled him out, sort of the same way you’d unload an uncooperative sack of concrete.

During their stroll from the car to the jail, Village Idiot refused to pull his handcuffs back up behind his back, leaving them under his bohiney, which made him walk all scrunched over, something like Quasi Modo on a bad bender.

It’s here in our narrative where we learn that Village Idiot originally came to rest at Vail’s Checkpoint Char-lie because he tripped over his own pants, fell down and stayed there.

St. Patty’s Day, Minturn style

The Minturn-Red Cliff Business Association will present its Third Annual St. Patty’s Day Explosion Wednesday.

Drive in or ski the Minturn Mile for green beer and margaritas, Irish food specials, live music, business Open Houses and a free raffle.

Chili Willy’s at 101 Main St. will offer slow cooked corned beef and cabbage, along with green margari-tas from 5 to 10 p.m.

“It’s always a fun night, everyone will have their green on,” said own-er Al Brown. “It’s something we’ve done for the last couple of years that has worked really well.”

Stop into the Gourmet Cowboy Bar at 455 Main St. from 5 p.m. to close, where fourth graders from Meadow Mountain Elementary will be serving up corned beef and cab-

bage and fish and chips. Sixty percent of sale proceeds

will benefit the school, which owner Tim McNeill’s son once attended.

Kirby Cosmo’s BBQ Bar at 474 Main St. will be serving up some sweet tunes to compliment the sweet aroma piping from their slow cookers, with live music until clos-ing time.

The lively atmosphere of the Minturn Saloon needs no holiday as an excuse to have a good time, but on St. Patrick’s Day patrons get to enjoy Jeff’s Famous Irish Reuben Sandwich - a traditional sandwich with their homemade corned beef and sauerkraut.

Green beer and margaritas will be-gin flowing in the bar room at 3:30 p.m., with the dining area opening at 5 p.m. Minturn Saloon is located at 146 Main St.

Once you’ve had your fill of the local faire, stop by My Mountain

Realtor at 420 Main St., where they’ll be handing out green treats to all at their Open House.

Raffle tickets will be distributed at various businesses for a chance to win gift certificates donated by First Bank, Chili Willy’s, Green Bridge Inn, Kirby Cosmo’s BBQ Bar, Min-turn Mile Liquors and Minturn Sa-loon.

The Eagle River Fire District has also donated a ride on the historic Gillman fire truck as a raffle item.

Raffle boxes will be collected and winners will be notified the next day.

The Third Annual St. Patty’s Day Explosion is sponsored by A-Peak Asphalt, Chili Willy’s, Green Bridge Inn, Kirby Cosmo’s, Mint-urn Mile Liquors, Minturn Saloon, My Mountain Realtor and the Town of Minturn.

For more information, contact 970-827-5371.

The town of Minturn will be holding a Minturn Town Council Candidates Forum where the public is wel-come to attend and get to know the candidates prior to the April 6, 2010 election. This year’s candidates for mayor are Jerry Bumgarner and Hawkeye Flaherty. Council candidates are Aggie Martinez, Frank Lorenti, Earle Bidez, Shelley Bellm and Johnnie Rosenfeld. Interesded community members who are unable to at-tend the forum can view the event on Public Access TV 5 at 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 25 or on their web

On April 6 there is a vote in Minturn for three council positions. I, Frank Lorenti, would like to have the oppor-tunity to serve as one of your town council members.

By voting for me we have a chance to send a message to the developer that two years is long enough to wait for the promised money.

I have been an outspoken advocate for over two years now to get us that money.

Our infrastructure is falling apart and we can not wait years for tax revenue generated from new businesses in town. We need millions of dollars immediately to im-prove Minturn today. We need to either get the money from this developer, Ginn/Dean Adler, or we need to take back the vested development rights and get a new developer that will give us money up front.

Do you want to pay higher taxes and water rates or do you want to use the millions of dollars that was promised us?

Minturn needs fresh leaders with fresh ideas to lead Minturn forward in a positive direction. The old way is broken and needs to be fixed. Keeping the same people on council or bringing back old members will not im-

prove Minturn. They had their chance, and look at us today. Failing infrastructure, higher sewer rates, bad sidewalks, no sidewalks, less business revenue, higher property values with no reduction in mill levy, less wa-ter at same high rate, current council looking at raising taxes/mill levy to cover cost to improve infrastructure. They refuse to hold developer accountable to promises made to us while raising our cost of living here.

We need to treat people fairly and we need to give you more information on council items before a vote, not after.

I am hosting two meet and greet meetings at the Turntable in Minturn, one on Tuesday March 16 from 5-7 p.m. and Thursday, April 1 from 5-7 p.m..

It is very informal and it is a chance for you to ask me questions and to give me your ideas on the direction you would like to see Minturn take.

Please attend and if you can not you can go to my web site at www.minturntimes.com or call me at 970 390-1460.

E-mail your candidate’s statement or letter of en-dorsement to [email protected]

The Pinot Posse hits Vail tonight. A cultish group of Pinot Noir enthusiasts, the Pinot

Posse will host a wine tasting at Sapphire tonight in Vail Village, where the restaurant will offer five cours-es and four glasses of wine for $65.

Sapphire Sommiler Derek George calls Pinot Posse member Peter Cargasacchi “the Guru of Grapes.”

You might recognize Cargasacchi’s name on wines from Loring Wine Company, Siduri Wines, Brewer-Clifton, Bonaccorsi, Ken Brown and Hitching Post. He sells the fruit to those winemakers, who love him for it.

Cargasacchi operates out of the Santa Rita Hills area near Lompoc, Calif, where the cool climate makes for a fantastic Pinot. He also makes his own wines, which will be featured at the tasting.

“What’s amazing about the Vail Valley is the quality of food here,” Cargasacchi said yesterday in a inter-view with the Vail Mountaineer. “The quality of food in the restaurants is very high, and it makes the wines show well and taste good.”

Cargasacci and the crew have been coming to Colo-rado for the last six years, as the Colorado based CS Wines distributer has been getting the group together and showing their wines around the state. The Pinot

Posse has also made appearances at Vin48 and Lark-spur.

This year, CS Wines sent wine to Sapphire Executive Chef Peter Millette ahead of time, so Millette could taste them and prepare meals especially for the event.

It starts at 8 p.m., and as of last night there were 27 seats left.

For more info call Sapphire at 476-2828.

Habitat’s Carpenters’ Ball set for SaturdayAnnual fundraiser raises money, awareness for

local HFH affiliate

The local Habitat for Humanity affiliate is hosting its annual Carpenters’ Ball Saturday, and they need to know if you’re coming.

Habitat for Humanity of Eagle and Lake Counties is building LEED certified Habitat homes in Edwards, in partnership with families in need. These families con-tribute sweat equity toward building their home and pay a zero interest mortgage. The Carpenters’ Ball will raise funds to allow Habitat to build additional homes in 2010.

This year’s event is at the Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch, and three couples will be honored for their com-mitment to Habitat for Humanity.

Jim and Mary Hagen, Mack and Nancy Nichols and Bud and Marie Wonsiewicz each funded a local Habitat home, in addition to many volunteer hours.

“To give people the opportunity to own their first home is the best feeling” said Marie Wonsiewicz. “To see someone struggle to make ends meet and keep family and soul together and then to see their gratitude when you offer [them the] opportunity to own [their own] home is really special.”

This year’s theme is Homes on the Range. Contemporary Western artist Carrie Fell created an

original painting, “Homeward Bound,” around the theme and it will be auctioned at the event.

“We are so honored to have Carrie Fell involved in our event. We feel that her painting has set the tone and feel for the 2010 Carpenters’ Ball,” Said Elyse How-ard, Habitat for Humanity development director. “We have had such a wonderful experience working with both Carrie Fell and Rayla Kundolpf at Masters Gal-lery. Their generosity and willingness to partner with Habitat on this event has amazed us.”

In addition to dinner, dancing and live music by “Tina Marx and the Millionaires,” the night will also feature a silent auction with more than 100 items to bid on, and a live auction with many travel packages including a VIP trip to the 2010 Kentucky Derby.

About HabitatHabitat for Humanity has built 27 homes in Eagle

and Lake counties. When they’re done in the Fox Hol-low site, they’ll have housed almost 100 local children from 35 families.

“The Carpenters’ Ball is our annual celebration and fund raising event that helps define what we do and who we are at Habitat,” said Stacey Nibbelink, vice presi-dent of the Habitat for Humanity board of directors and event volunteer. “We celebrate how important it is to have decent affordable housing. Anyone who has ever

bought their first home understands how important a purchase it is. At Habitat, we don’t give homes away. We make it affordable and we do this through our com-munity that supports Habitat’s mission.”

God is alive and well in San Francisco

A federal appeals court in San Francisco upheld the use of the words “under God” in the Pledge of Alle-giance and “In God We Trust” on U.S. currency, re-jecting arguments on Thursday that the phrases violate the separation of church and state. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel rejected two legal challenges by Sacramento atheist Michael Newdow, who claimed the references to God disrespect his religious beliefs.

“The Pledge is constitutional,” Judge Carlos Bea wrote for the majority in the 2-1 ruling. “The Pledge of Allegiance serves to unite our vast nation through the proud recitation of some of the ideals upon which our Republic was founded.”

The same court ruled in Newdow’s favor in 2002 after he sued his daughter’s school district for forcing students to recite the pledge.

Guy who owns Citgo thanks Sean Penn

for his helpVenezuelan President Hugo Chavez is grateful that

actor Sean Penn has defended him against his critics within the U.S. media. In an appearance on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” last week, Penn slammed Chavez critics who refer to the socialist leader as a dic-tator.

The Oscar-winning celebrity noted that Chavez has won repeated elections and suggested that media critics who call him a dictator should be jailed.

He says that “there should be a bar for which one goes to prison for these kinds of biases.”

Penn has visited Chavez several times and frequently defends the president’s leftist political policies. Chavez welcomed Penn’s comments Wednesday and thanked the actor for standing up to his detractors.

It’s gotta be the cell phones

The roads today are full of hazards: Runaway Toyo-tas, teen drivers texting, commuters using the rearview mirror to check their hair while juggling cups of scald-ing coffee. Nonetheless, the number of people dying on the highway is the lowest since the 1950s.

The Transportation Department said Thursday that its projections show total traffic deaths declined nearly 9 percent in 2009 — to 33,963. That’s the lowest toll since 1954. In 2008, an estimated 37,261 people died on the roadways.

The newest numbers fit into a trend of steady de-creases since 2005, when an estimated 43,510 people were killed. The National Highway Traffic Safety Ad-ministration says there are still too many deaths but credits the decline to more people wearing seat belts, programs to discourage drunken driving, and cars built with better safety features.

Smile, you may be fat sensitive

New research suggests that humans may have a pre-viously unidentified sixth taste sense — for fat, reports Live Science. Researchers of the new study also found that people with a high sensitivity to the taste of fat, paradoxically tended to eat less fatty foods and were less likely to be overweight, according to the report.

“Our findings build on previous research in the Unit-ed States that used animal models to discover fat taste,” Russell Keast, one of the researchers of the new study said in the Live Science report. “We know that the hu-man tongue can detect five tastes — sweet, salt, sour, bitter and umami (a taste for identifying protein rich foods). Through our study we can conclude that hu-mans have a sixth taste — fat.”

“The research team developed a screening procedure to test the ability of people to taste a range of fatty ac-ids commonly found in foods,” reports Live Science. “They found that people have a taste threshold for fat and that these thresholds vary from person to person;

some people have a high sensitivity to the taste while others do not.”

Health care vote count getting touchy

More than two dozen Democrats are expected to vote against the healthcare reform bill that will hit the House floor in the coming weeks, reports The Hill.

“At least 25 House Democrats will reject the health-care reform legislation, according to a survey by The Hill, a review of other media reports and interviews with lawmakers, aides and lobbyists,” claims The Hill’s report. “Dozens of House Democrats are undecided or won’t comment on their position on the measure.”

The 25 opposed include firm “no” votes and mem-bers who are likely “no” votes reports The Hill. Most Democrats on The Hill’s whip list are definitely going to vote no, but others, such as Reps. Lincoln Davis (Tenn.) and Harry Teague (N.M.), could vote yes, re-ports The Hill.

Student loan overhaul added to 2,000-page

health care billSenate Democrats said Thursday that they are in-

clined to add an overhaul of the nation’s student loan program to the final health-care bill, reports The Wash-ington Post.

“The move would create a potential double victory for President Obama, who has championed both causes as among domestic priorities,” reports the Post. “And Senate Majority Whip Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) said Thursday, ‘There was a stronger feeling for including’ the education proposal. Some senators disagreed with the strategy, Durbin said, adding that a final decision has yet to be reached.”

Accoring to the Post, under the student loan propos-al, subsidies that now support private lenders would be shifted to other student assistance programs, including Pell Grants for families struggling to afford college tu-ition. “Some of the things accomplished here are really

Conan’s Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on

Television Tour comingWithout a TV show to do every night, Conan O’Brien

is taking his act on the road. The former host of “The Tonight Show” announced a

30-city theater tour on Thursday. Sidekick Andy Richter and the former “Tonight Show” band will join O’Brien for what he promises to be “a night of music, comedy, hugging and the occasional awkward silence.”

The “Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Tele-vision Tour” begins April 12 in Eugene, Ore., and con-cludes June 14 in Atlanta. It will visit theaters in at least 20 states and two Canadian provinces. Additional dates may be added.

O’Brien quipped: “It was either a massive 30-city tour or start helping out around the house.” On the itinerary is New York’s Radio City Music Hall, just steps from where O’Brien first gained fame hosting “Late Night,” and the Gibson Amphitheater in Universal City, Calif., near the studio where he presided over “The Tonight Show” for eight months.

Merlin Olsen dead at 69Merlin Olsen, a Hall of Fame defensive lineman and

member of the Los Angeles Rams’ “Fearsome Four-some” who followed up football with a successful television career in “Little House on the Prairie,” NFL broadcasts and commercials, has died. He was 69.

Utah State, Olsen’s alma mater, said he died outside of Los Angeles early Thursday after battling cancer. He was diagnosed with mesothelioma, a cancer of the lung lining, last year.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell issued a statement lauding Olsen as an “extraordinary person, friend and football player.”

“He cared deeply about people, especially those that shared the game of football with him,” Goodell said. “Merlin was a larger-than-life person, literally and fig-uratively, and leaves an enormously positive legacy.” Olsen was an All-American at Utah State and a first-round draft pick of the Los Angles Rams in 1962.

Ethics probe ditched by House

House Democrats on Thursday stopped a Republi-can bid to force an investigation of Democratic leaders aimed at determining whether they covered up sexual harassment allegations against ex-Rep. Eric Massa.

Even in failure, Republicans planted questions about when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi learned about al-legations from Massa’s employees that he sexually ha-rassed male staff members. The freshman New York Democrat resigned Monday amid a slew of conflicting

statements in which he confirmed and denied that he groped staff members and argued that none of the con-tact was sexual.

By trying to make Democratic leaders rather than Massa the investigative subjects, Republicans attempt-ed to turn the tables on the party that used ethical mis-conduct to win control of the House in 2006. Repub-licans were hurt in that campaign by revelations that GOP leaders took no action after learning that then-Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla., sent sexually suggestive mes-sages to former male pages.

Nationalist group urges Bar to dump Leo

Rumored wedding bells for Bar Refaeli and Leon-ardo DiCaprio may ring true or false, but these are al-ready being muffled by controversy, reports Batsheva Sobelman of the LA Times. “Supermodel Bar Refaeli is one of Israel’s most successful ‘exports,’” writs So-belman. “But with fame comes responsibility -- and now an Israeli organization is beseeching Refaeli not to wed Leonardo DiCaprio -- out of a responsibility to future generations.”

“It is not by chance that you were born Jewish,” wrote Baruch Marzel in a letter he sent Refaeli through her mother (and that promptly appeared in the press), according to the Times report. “Your grandmother and her grandmother did not dream that one of their descen-

Local spiker headed to Junior OlympicsEagle Valley’s Kelsey VanGoey joins elite group

Skiers aren’t the only athletes representing the Vail Valley in Ju-nior Olympic competition.

Four local volleyball players represented the Vail Valley at the Crossroads National Qualifier Tournament in Denver over the past two weekends, and the youngest of these talented girls is heading to the Junior Olympics later this year.

The best of the best were invited to the Colorado Convention Center to compete in age divided tourna-ments. Up to 150 teams competed in each age bracket for a duration of three days. Battle Mountain seniors Hannah Ellison and Cara Murbach, and junior Krista Norris donned the Colorado Performance Volleyball Club uniforms to strut their stuff last weekend at the Mile High City in their respective age groups. Com-petition was fierce and the girls had their work cut out for them. “We didn’t do the best, but that’s OK. We had lots of fun!” Ellison told the Mountaineer. Barley discour-aged, all three girls will pursuing

their volleyball dreams well into the future. But it was Eagle Valley’s Kelsey VanGoey, a sophomore, that will be going for the gold, literally.

As a part of the Colorado Perfor-mance Volleyball Club’s 16-1 divi-sion team, VanGoey’s spikes and teamwork helped lead them to the championship match and take the whole thing, which lands them a spot at this years Junior Olympics in Nevada. “It’s an unbelievable feeling to not only bring home the championship, but to know we will be competing this summer at the Ju-nior Olympics,” said VanGoey. “It still feels surreal.”

She has quite a bit of work to do if she’s going to spike with the big dogs in summer, but for now she can relax a little and bask in her success. And who wouldn’t need a break after playing eleven con-secutive matches against some of the state’s best players? VanGoey’s team secured the gold with an un-defeated record at the end of the weekend. The championship match was broadcast live over the internet, garnering most than 400 viewers at one point.

Tiger likely to return at MastersDespite a barrage of rumors Thursday that world

No.1 Tiger Woods will return to Bay Hill to defend his title at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the Associ-ated Press reported that The Masters will likely be his comeback venue.

In a public apology last month, Woods said he wasn’t ruling out a return to golf this year, and with the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach and the British Open at St. An-drews, it’s no surprise that Woods is close to being ready to return to golf.

Woods’ friend Mark O’Meara even told the Golf Channel on Wednesday that he “wouldn’t be surprised” if Woods played the Tavistock Cup next week. The

Former White House press secretary Ari Fleis-cher declined to comment yesterday on reports that he had been brought on board to help with Woods’ return. Fleischer said in an e-mail to the AP he could neither confirm nor deny that Woods was a client.

Schwartzel leads after round 1 at the CA ChampionshipCharl Schwartzel leads at the CA Champi-

onship at Doral. He wound up alone at the top because he was the one player who managed to avoid a bogey.

Schwartzel, who got into the elite field with his two victories in his native South Africa at the start of the season, played bogey-free in a vicious wind at the Blue Monster and pieced together a 5-under 67 for a one-shot lead Thursday.

He might not have been in the lead by himself if not for so many mistakes on 18th at Doral, one of golf’s most daunting closing holes.

Ernie Els hit into the water with his approach on No. 18 and made bogey for a 4-under 68. Vi-jay Singh found the water of the tee and made double bogey, taking him from the lead to a 68.

Robert Allenby had a five-shot lead at one point going 8 under through his first 12 holes, but closed with four straight bogeys for a 68.

Phil Mickelson shot -1 and is tied for 17th. Steve Stricker shot a 1 over 73.RIGHT: Charl Schwartzel, of South Africa, tees-off at the ninth hole during the first round at the CA Championship at Doral on Thursday. He leads by one shooting a bogey free 67. AP Photo.

Contador takes stage4 and the lead in Paris

Alberto Contador will lurk in the pack no longer.

The two-time Tour de France cham-pion won the fourth stage of the Paris-Nice race and took the overall lead from Jens Voigt.

The 107.6-mile stage yesterday from Maurs to Mende ended in a Category 1 climb. The Spaniard left the field behind with his trademark acceleration. He won in 4 hours, 26 minutes and 47 seconds.

Alejandro Valverde of Spain finished second, 10 seconds behind Contador, and moved into second place overall, 24 seconds behind. Samuel Sanchez of

Spain finished the stage third in the same time as Valverde.

Roman Kreuziger of the Czech Repub-lic, seventh in Thursday’s stage, is third overall, 25 seconds behind Contador.

Voigt dropped to sixth place in the standings, 34 seconds behind Contador.

Contador won Paris-Nice in 2007, the year of his first Tour win. He won his second Tour de France last year.

The fifth stage Friday is 97.3 miles with four minor climbs, taking the rid-ers from Pernes-les-Fontaines to Aix-en-Provence.

The race ends Sunday in Nice.

Belgian Boonen booms atTirreno-Adriatico 2nd stage

Former world champion Tom Boonen of Belgium won the second stage of the Tirreno-Adriatico race Thursday and Li-nus Gerdemann of Germany held onto the overall lead.

Boonen, who rides for the Quickstep team, won a mass sprint, completing the 103-mile route in and around Monteca-tini Terme in 4 hours, 14 minutes, 13 seconds.

Paul Martens of Germany was second and Daniele Bennati of Italy was third, both with the same time as Boonen.

Gerdemann and Boonen have the same overall time, with three riders each four seconds behind.

The weeklong race is a warmup for the Milan-San Remo, the opening sin-gle-day classic of the cycling season on March 20.

On April 27, 2009 Boonen tested posi-tive for cocaine and was suspended by his team, Quick Step. Shortly after his suspension, in June, he won his National Championship.

Iditarod Mushers reach halfway point

Cripple, Alaska marks the halfway mark checkpoint for mushers and their sled dogs, and seven teams had reached that point yesterday at the 2010 Iditarod.

Musher Dallas Seavey was the first to arrive at the checkpoint, netting the GCI Dorothy Page Halfway Award and $3,000 in gold nuggets for being first to reach the “Official halfway point” on the Northern Route.

The 22-year-old musher still holds first place while his father, Mitch Seavey, winner of the 2004 Iditarod and also competing this year, is currently listed in ninth place.

The leg from Cripple to the next checkpoint is 112 miles, the longest dis-tance between two checkpoints in the 1,112-mile race.

Defending and three-time champion Lance Mackey is currently listed in 11th

place on the Live Leader Board posted on the Anchorage Daily News Web site.

Mackey, an Alaska native from Fair-banks, is hoping to win his fourth Idi-tarod in a row, which would set a new consecutive wins record.

nICK GAGnOn OF AVOn fell short of his 1-hour challenge to eat 50 McDonald’s chicken nuggets with 7 sauces, a large order of fries, a large chocolate milk shake and an apple pie. Nick failed the challenge when he vomited somewhere in the forties. The meal con-sists of 4,170 calories and 6,100 mg of sodium. “In this challenge of man vs. food, sadly, today, food was vic-torious,” Gagnon said while pulling his head out of the trash can. He says that the repetition of the fried, salty flavor led to his defeat and he’s likely to defecate the bed.

dants would one day remove the family’s future gener-ations from the Jewish people. Assimilation has forever been one of the enemies of the Jewish people.”

According to the Times, Marzel, a well-known stal-wart among Israel’s ultra-nationalists, appealed to Re-faeli on behalf of an organization named “Lehava.” In Hebrew, this means “flame;” it is also the Hebrew acro-nym for “Preventing Assimilation in the Holy Land.”

Momma should have told you to study hard and get

a government jobThe recession and the ongoing jobless recovery dev-

astated much of the private-sector work force last year, sending unemployment soaring, but government work-ers emerged essentially unscathed, according to data released Wednesday by the Labor Department, reports the Washington Times.

“Meanwhile, the compensation for state and local government employees continued to easily outdistance the wages and benefits for workers in private business, a separate Labor Department report showed,” claims

the Times report. “Private-industry employers spent an average of $27.42 per hour worked for total employee compensation in December, while total compensation costs for state and local government workers averaged $39.60 per hour.”

According to the Times, the average government wage and salary per hour of $26.11 was 35 percent higher than the average wage and salary of $19.41 per hour in the private sector. But, according to the Times’ reports, the percentage difference in benefits was much higher; benefits for state and local workers averaged $13.49 per hour, nearly 70 percent higher than the $8 per hour in benefits paid by private businesses.

ACLU says the prom must go on

Constance McMillen didn’t believe her Mississippi school district would really call off her senior prom rather than allow her to show up with her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo.

On Thursday, a day after the Itawamba County school board did just that, the 18-year-old lesbian high school senior reluctantly returned to campus to some

unfriendly looks, she said.“Somebody said, ‘Thanks for ruining my senior

year.’” McMillen said.The district announced Wednesday it wouldn’t host

the April 2 prom. The decision came after the American Civil Liberties Union demanded that officials change a policy ban-ning same-sex prom dates be-cause it violated students’ rights. And the ACLU said the district not letting McMillen wear a tux-edo violated her free expression rights.

The ACLU filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Oxford to

force the school district to sponsor the prom and allow McMillen to bring whom she chooses and wear what she wants. District officials didn’t returned numerous calls left by The Associated Press seeking comment on Thursday. McMillen said she never expected the dis-trict to respond the way it did.

world. The state also has played a lead-ing role in teaching, avalanche control, fashions, equipment, etc. There’s a huge story to tell and we need a world-class museum to tell it.”

For over 35 years, Pat was a tireless worker for the Colorado Ski & Snow-board Museum, serving as its Historian, on its Board of Directors, and on its Ad-visory Board. She was instrumental in helping the museum open its Resource Center in Golden and spearheaded the process of gaining accreditation for the museum. Each week Pat drove from Colorado Springs to Golden to volunteer at our Resource Center research library. Over the years, many have considered themselves experts on Colorado’s Lost Ski Areas but they soon learned that Pat knew more than anyone. She had photos and trail maps of most lost ski areas in Colorado.

Pat was very proud of the museum and hoped that the Vail community felt for-tunate to be the home of this gem, which adds to the ski country’s culture. She was especially pleased with our state-wide education outreach programs and weekly speaker series. Not just a vol-unteer who chronicled history, Pat was also a prolific writer. While she focused her attention on the history of skiing, she wrote a seminal book on the sub-ject, White Gold. She was featured in

the PBS documentary, Ski! A Century of Colorado Skiing.

Pat was married to Bill Pfeiffer for 56 years and had four children: Jan Hiland of Gypsum Colorado, Robert Pfeiffer of Parker, Kristi Pfeiffer Peck of Colorado Springs, and Eric Pfeiffer of San Fran-cisco. Her ten grandchildren were also a source of boundless joy.

It is fitting we celebrate Pat’s life and accomplishments with the Skiers Toast written by Pat in 1982:

Drink to the snow that’s coming downDrink to the revelry in townDrink to the mountain steep and highDrink to the skier schussing byDrink to friends that have gone beforeDrink to the friends we are with once

moreDrink to the skiers that will come here

afterDrink to a life of love and laughterIn lieu of flowers the family encourag-

es memorial contributions be sent to the Colorado Ski & Snowboard Museum, P.O. Box 1976 Vail, CO 81658 or the Pikes Peak Hospice Foundation, 825 East Pikes Peak Avenue, Suite 600, Colorado Springs, CO 80903-3624. Services will be held at Shove Chapel on the campus of Colorado College on Saturday, March 20, at 10 a.m. 902 North Cascade Av-enue, Colorado Springs, CO.

size of a semi truck. It crashed down from the canyon wall several hundred feet above the roadway.

I-70 was closed until yesterday afternoon, as CDOT crews used all kinds of cool explosives to blast big rocks into smaller rocks, which really aren’t that small. Most of them made front end loaders beg for mercy as they were hauling them away.

They won’t know the repair costs until today, Steg-man said. CDOT set aside $2 million to pay for it all, but they won’t know how much of that they’ll have to spend until after they open the contractors’ bids today.

When a similar rock punched a similar hole in 2004, it cost $1.2 million to set the road right. Stegman said this one might not cost that much.

Seeing scenic ColoradoIn the meantime, travelers took the scenic route, from

Wolcott to Steamboat Springs, to a crossroads just east of Western Mongolia, and then down to Rifle. Some wayward travelers were so happy to be back on the concrete slab, they were seen genuflecting before a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant in north Rifle.

J.D. Eastman with Sysco foods said his drivers were running 14 hour days, the maximum the Department of Transportation will allow them to drive before they take a 10 hour break.

The detour added four and a half hours to a three-hour trip, making deliveries to Aspen.

“We’ve had some standup guys, and they got us through this,” Eastman said. “They were leaving at 10 p.m. and getting to Aspen at 7 a.m.”

Jim Elwood commutes from Eagle to Aspen, to ride herd on the Aspen airport.

He left Monday morning at 7:15 a.m. and sat down behind his desk at 12:15 p.m. But the drive was pretty.

A few capitalists tried to take advantage of the situa-tion, charging the most the market would bear for char-

ter flights from Eagle to Aspen, according to published reports. Turns out that a bunch of Aspen skiers fly into Eagle and drive around, except for this week.

The going rate was about $1,000 each way.One ambitious outfit was asking $3,000 per seat, with

no takers. Another asked the more pedestrian rate of $3,280 to charter a seven-passenger plane, each way.

Commercial flights saw a bump in occupancy, but did not tend to gouge customers.

“I was going to drive to Denver earlier this week, but instead I booked a $200 round trip from Aspen to Denver and back,” Elwood said.

Been a lot of walkup traffic at the counter with people who were supposed to fly out of Eagle.

The issue was magnified by weather on Sunday and Monday, which made seats out of Aspen a little scarce, Elwood said.

Ice Hockey Team sports psychology consultant, and Potter will speak together from 4:15 to 4:50 p.m. at the Town of Vail Public Library, their free lecture is en-titled, “Reflections on Mental and Physical Training for the Olympic Experience.”

Potter has played in four Olympics, eight Internation-al Ice Hockey Federation World Women’s Champion-ships and seven Four Nations Cups. She has also won three world titles and four Olympic medals during the 1998, 2002, 2006 and 2010 Olympic Winter Games. She most recently set the U.S. Olympic single-game scoring record at the 2010 Olympics with five points and became the U.S. all-time career point leader dur-ing the games. Potter is visiting Vail for research on creating sports camps targeting those whose interests include fitness and healthy living.

According to Dobson Ice Arena Manager Jared Biniecki, having an Olympian skate in Dobson will be a unique experience for those who attend.

“We’re excited to host Jenny and learn more about her recent experience during the 2010 Olympics,” said Biniecki. “The VRD is looking forward to working with Jenny in the future to bring new and exciting camps to Vail for our ice skating and sport enthusiasts.”

Dobson has a strong history of hosting Olympians. The ice rink has hosted Mark Johnson, 2010 U.S.Olympic Women’s Ice Hockey Coach and 1980 Olympic gold medalist, Jeremy Abbott, 2010 U.S. Olympic men’s figure skater, and U.S. National Champion in 2009 and 2010, Mirai Nagasu, 2010 U.S. Olympic women’s fig-ure skater, Niklas Backstrom, National Hockey League

player and Sweden’s starting goalie, and Marion Gaborik, National Hockey League player and member of Czechoslovakia’s men’s ice hockey team.

For details on the free skate with Potter, contact Biniecki at 970-479-2271.

USA’s forward Jenny Potter (12) scores against Rus-sia during a women’s hockey game at the Vancou-ver 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, Feb. 16. Potter will be coming to Dobson Ice Arena March 16th for a skate-a-long and autograph sign-ing, and to show off her Olympic bling. AP Photo.
