The Bud Light Hot Summer Nights free concert se-ries continues tonight with the electrifying rock and roll of Jonathan Tyler & The Northern Lights.

Many music critics have feared that great old-school rock and roll has died in today’s society, but they’ve clearly never experienced a Jonathan Tyler & The Northern Lights show. Tyler, Brandon Pinckard, Nick Jay, Emotion Brown and Jordan Cain come together to form a rock tidal wave that takes audiences along for a live music thrill ride they won’t soon forget.

Tyler and the Lights’ music is the wake-up call rock and roll needs, with a touch of blues and soul along for the ride. The band is a throwback in the best sense of the word. Since their 2007 debut, they have been a blur of full-tilt showmanship worthy of groups like the

No sign of missing Montrose radio show host

A Montrose radio station where a DJ has been missing since last week is mak-ing counselors available to the staff to-day. The station says there has been no word of 48-year-old Rick Steele, who went missing last Thursday while taking his dogs for a walk near South Canal. Searchers fear Steele may have fallen into the waters.

The Denver Post reported yesterday that searchers had no sign of the radio personality by Monday. Steele’s truck was found near the canal, along with the two dogs.

Steele hosts a weekday morning show called “The Blast” on KBNG-FM.

2 Vail Mountaineer Tuesday, July 6, 2010

Fourth of July weekend is one of the busiest in the Vail Valley with folks coming from far and wide to enjoy the summertime mountain activities and festivi-ties.

And local businesses know now is the time to capi-talize on both vacationers and valley residents looking to have a fun time.

Avon’s fireworks display is the largest in the Rocky Mountains drawing somewhere between 15 and 20 thousand spectators, says Danita Chirichillo, special events supervisor for the town of Avon.

“It’s a pretty broad mix of people from outside of town and people that live here,” Chirichillo said. “This was my fifth fireworks event, and I would say there was definitely a growth last year, and this year was equal to – or maybe slightly above – last year.”

Bob’s Place owner Chris Doyle says the Fourth of July celebration in Avon is great for businesses in our area; however, he would like to see the town encourage more events and tourism throughout the summer, rather concentrating on a single day.

A summer concerts series in Nottingham Park is one suggestion Doyle offered to draw visitors deeper into the summer season.

For the Westin Riverfront Resort and Spa, this year’s title sponsor of Avon’s fireworks celebration, the fes-tivities were fantastic for business, says spokesperson Julie Dunn.

The Westin was at full occupancy Saturday night and nearly full Friday and Sunday nights, which was bet-ter than last year’s mark and something she attributes to the hotel’s sponsorship of the event, as well as their riverside deck perfect for viewing the show.

Lacrosse players help local businessVisitors to the valley come for a number of reasons,

but no event draws more out-of-towners than the ten-day Vail Shootout lacrosse tournament, which conclud-ed Sunday and brought an estimated 14,000 people to valley.

Most of them stay in hotels between Vail and Avon, and their Fourth of July visit generates somewhere in the neighborhood of $2 million for local businesses – businesses like Timberline Tours, which provides play-ers with rafting trips and Jeep tours.

Lisa Reeder of Timberline Tours says business was excellent thanks in part to the lacrosse crowd, which comes to Vail to experience other mountain activities,

in addition to the tournament, she said. “The Lacrosse people were a huge influx of people,

but that was kind of leading up to the Fourth. That is a huge economic boost for the valley; there is no doubt about that,” Reeder said.

While business was very good for Timberline, Reed-er said, with the Fourth falling on a Sunday, visitors planned their trips for either the week leading up to the holiday or the week after. As a result, business has been a bit more spread out over a two-week period rather than being super concentrated into one, which is usu-ally the case.

But, some business owners like Zach Povey from The Club in Vail Village wonders if switching the tour-nament to another weekend might be more beneficial for local businesses.

He said that, while the Shootout is great for busi-ness, more people would likely come from Denver and the Front Range on the Fourth, if the town were not so busy with Lacrosse people.

If the tournament was moved, say to the week af-ter the Fourth, perhaps Vail would ultimately wind up drawing more folks to town – just some “food for thought,” he said.

Only three arrests in VailThe Vail Police called this year’s July 4th celebration

“uneventful,” which is a good thing. Vail’s annual pa-rade drew an estimated 20,000 people, yet police action was limited to a few parking tickets.

The Vail Police Department had a total of three arrests and issued four summonses into municipal court during the nighttime activities. Charges ranged from minor in possession of alcohol and false identification to driving under the influence of alcohol and an outstanding war-rant. In addition to the enforcement actions, the depart-ment also placed two people into protective custody for excessive alcohol consumption.

Tonight the Bookworm in Edwards Riverwalk welcomes author Jenna Blum to the valley to talk about her new book, “The Stormchasers and Those Who Save Us.”

“Jenna Blum’s first novel, ‘Those Who Save Us,’ has been a huge book club favorite here in the Vail Valley for years, and now we have a new novel from Jenna Blum to look forward to,” writes the Bookworm. “In ‘The Stormchasers’ Blum turns her sights to a more contemporary exploration of family relationships. The new nov-el that tackles mystery and power of the feelings of love and loyalty that exist between twins, and explores the adrenaline fueled world of storm chasing.”

From Newsweek: “Blum visits Tornado Alley in this vivid novel about a set of twins with a dark history. At home in Minnesota, Karena Jorge gets an unexpected call informing her that her twin brother, Charles Hallingdahl, whom she hasn’t seen in the 20 years since something went very wrong during a storm chase, has been admitted to a Kansas mental hospital.”

The discussion starts at 6 p.m. Cost is $20 and includes wine and appetizers.

Fireworks are like show business. It takes days to prepare a 30-minute show.

Take the Eagle/Gypsum show, for example. Crews started working around 6:30 a.m. It was will past mid-night when they left.

The 31-and-a-half minute show was successful be-cause a zillion and a half details were handled the sec-ond they came up.

“Everyone does their share and more,” said Eagle Fire Chief Jon Asper. “They started at 6:30 a.m., and stayed past midnight and they’re volunteers. There’s no double time or holiday pay with these guys. Those guys are giving up their July 4th holiday to make this work.”

Fireworks potentialThe Eagle fireworks has the potential to create lots of

its own fireworks – two towns and the county, manag-ers, councils, commissioners, staffs. It could be a mess, but it’s not.

“It’s well orchestrated and there’s no politics,” Asper said. “We couldn’t do it without each other.”

Asper walks a delicate line, making sure everyone gets the credit they deserve and feels like they’ve got-ten their money’s worth – which they did.

Eagle and Gypsum each put in $10,000. The county came up with $3,000. They all donate thousands of dol-lars worth of services and equipment.

Eagle supplies the police, the Sheriff’s office is there, the Gypsum fire department helps is a huge part of making everything work.

It’s a huge group of people volunteering through an 18-hour day creating a 31 and a half minute fireworks show.

Things that go bang in the nightThe shells manufactured by Western Enterprises

in Oklahoma. They also put on the Avon show. The company can’t be everywhere all the time, so they trained two Eagle fire department guys to run fireworks shows.

For Eagle’s Deputy Chief Chris Blankenship, Sun-day night’s July 4th show was his 20th. Brian Schofield was there to help. He used to be the chief at the airport. Lee Boucher is Eagle’s assistant training officer. Train-ing Chief Sean Moore was on hand. Jamie Yantzer and Mike Montag were among the dozens of volunteers with Eagle’s and Gypsum’s fire departments. Their day

started at 6:30 a.m., helping with Eagle’s July 4th bike parade, and ended well after midnight.

That’s $23,000 fired into the summer sky – worth every dime. Western Enterprises likes doing the show because they’re prepaid, so they threw in $3,000 worth of stuff for free, Asper said.

They’ll start working on next year’s fireworks show when the 2011 budget cycles start. That’s this week.

No call too smallThe fireworks have to be trucked down from a stor-

age bunker in Beaver Creek.LaFarge brings over 12 tons of sand that the volun-

teers shovel into sand bags. Those bags wrap the fire-works launch boxes and tubes, in case something goes awry. It rarely does, but you’d have to be willing that the federal government can spend us out of recession to believe that it couldn’t.

U.S. Forest Service had two engine crews on hand. Gypsum’s chief Dave Vroman was the chief safety of-ficer.

Western Eagle County Ambulance District provided a supervisor and ambulance crew, and an ambulance, of course.

It takes all day. The Eagle Diner cut them a screaming deal for breakfast and supper. Moe’s Barbecue came up with lunch.

Avon triples that number of people who worked on Saturday’s Salute to the USA event, Asper said.

The Eagle fire department’s slogan is, “No call too small,” and the regular stuff didn’t stop while they were coordinating the fireworks show.

At 6:30 a.m. Sunday morning, some of the fire fight-ers were out helping with Eagle’s annual July 4th morn-ing bike parade. A day or two before, they got a distress call that turned out to be a baby raccoon stuck between a fence and a house, which was quickly again answer-ing the call of the wild.

to be more careful.Mistakes discovered in the 3,000-page report by the

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change last year fed into an atmosphere of skepticism over the reliability of climate scientists who have been warning for many years that human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases could have catastrophic consequences, including rising sea levels, drought and the extinction of nearly one-third of the Earth’s species.

The errors put scientists on the defensive in the months before a major summit on climate change in Copenhagen in December, which met with only limited success on agreeing how to limit carbon emissions and contain the worst effects of global warming.

Chinese court sentences U.S.

geologist to 8 yearsAn American geologist held by Chinese state security

agents who stubbed lit cigarettes on his arms was sen-tenced to eight years in prison yesterday for gathering data on China’s oil industry — a case that highlights the government’s use of vague secrets laws to restrict business information.

In pronouncing Xue Feng guilty of spying and col-lecting state secrets, the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People’s Court said his actions “endangered our coun-try’s national security.”

Its verdict said Xue received documents on geologi-cal conditions of onshore oil wells and a database that gave the coordinates of more than 30,000 oil and gas wells belonging to China National Petroleum Corpora-tion and listed subsidiary PetroChina Ltd.

That information, it said, was sold to IHS Energy, the U.S. consultancy Xue worked for and now known as IHS Inc.

The sentence of eight years is close to the recom-mended legal limit of 10 years for all but extremely serious violations. Though Xue, now 45 and known as a meticulous, driven researcher, showed no emotion when the court announced the verdict, it stunned his lawyer and his sister, his only family member allowed

in the courtroom. Xue’s sentence punctuates a case that has dragged on for more than two-and-a-half years and is likely to alarm foreign businesses unsure when nor-mal business activities elsewhere might conflict with China’s vague state security laws.

Patriotic parade went horribly wrong

The buggy driver whose horses trampled spectators at the town of Bellevue, Iowa’s Fourth of July parade had tried desperately to stop the rampage, clinging to the reins as the animals dragged him down the street, his family said yesterday.

Mardell Steines was in the buggy with his wife, Janet, his daughter-in-law, his 7-year-old grandson and his 5-year-old granddaughter on Sunday when the horses bolted toward the end of the parade, injuring 24 people and killing Janet Steines.

Police said the horses were spooked after they rubbed heads and the bridle fell off one of them. The animals went on a rampage over six blocks, plowing through spectators and children stooping to snatch up candy that had been tossed along the parade route.

The buggy struck a combine in the parade and a road sign, witnesses said. Janet Steines was thrown out and struck a concrete driveway.

The hitch came undone and the carriage separated from the horses, running over Steines as he held onto the reins, said relatives. Steines’ shirt was shredded as the horses dragged him down the street, witnesses added.

One child was still hospitalized yesterday with a compound fracture of his right leg, bruises on his kid-ney, liver and right lung, and extensive road rash. He had a carriage tire mark on his right arm. At least 15 of the injured were children, according to police.

Jim Evilsizer, a former paramedic who ran a food cart on the parade route, said he helped put a 10-or-12-year-old boy who apparently took a hoof to the head on a backboard and carry him to a triage area on the Mississippi’s shore.

“It looked like a war zone,” the 61-year-old said.

Israel eases Gaza closure, but restrictions remain

Israel is easing its blockade of Hamas-ruled Gaza to allow in virtually all consumer goods, items from household cleaners to timber that had been barred from import for years.

But because Israel will continue to ban most travel and exports and restrict the import of desperately need-ed construction materials, the new rules are unlikely to restore the territory’s devastated economy or allow rebuilding of all that was destroyed in last year’s war.

The White House welcomed the changes that were announced yesterday as Prime Minister Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew to Washington for a meeting with President Barack Obama.

Gaza business leaders and rights activists said the measures are far short of what Gaza needs, and that the only active cargo crossing, Kerem Shalom, may not be enough to bring in all the goods now permitted. Israeli officials said the remaining restrictions, including on exports, are essential for maintaining security.

Census worker taken to court for trespassing

In these divisive times, Census worker Russell Haas has come to expect some resistance when he goes door to door to count the residents of the rugged communi-ties near Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano. He didn’t expect to get arrested.

An attempt to get one resident, a county police offi-cer, to fill out Census forms landed Haas in the back of a patrol car with a trespassing charge.

The case is now in federal court, the latest example of disputes this year between Census workers and resi-dents who don’t want to deal with them. It has created a rare instance in which federal prosecutors have stepped in to serve as criminal defense attorneys.

“I was trained to encourage everybody to be in the Census,” said Haas, 57, a former New Jersey police of-ficer.

The case hearkens back to an argument that is as old as the nation itself: the tension between federal powers granted under the Constitution, such as census taking, and a state’s right to govern itself.

Hot enough for ya? Temps soar to near 100 in East

A string of hot days were expected this week for the East Coast, with temperatures en route to 100-plus degrees in some places. Temperatures reached into at least the 90s Monday from Maine to Texas, into the Southwest and Death Valley.

In the East, warm air is “sitting over the top of us, and it’s not really going to budge much for the next day or two,” said Brian Korty, a meteorologist with the

National Weather Service in Camp Springs, Md. The extended weekend aided utilities by lowering de-

mand for power, said Lissette Santana, a spokeswoman for PPL Electric Utilities in Allentown, Pa.

The long weekend did have more people out seeking relief. Five Connecticut state parks had to stop admit-ting people because they had reached capacity.

A major utility restricted water use on the New Jersey shore, forbidding residents from watering lawns and washing cars, and about 17,000 customers in northern New Jersey lost power for more than four hours yes-terday, though it wasn’t clear whether the outage was related to the heat.

Homeowner finds naked man asleep on sofa

A San Diego resident awoke to a shocking discovery: a naked stranger passed out on his downstairs sofa.

San Diego police Lt. Jim Filley says the Pacific Beach homeowner called police after wandering downstairs Sunday morning and finding the snoring man.

Filley says the naked man was drunk and thought he was in his own home in Mission Valley, some 20 miles away.

The man, whose name wasn’t released, had taken off his clothes outside the house and walked in through the unlocked front door.

The homeowner declined to press charges. And since the intruder had sobered up, he was released to find his own way home.

Clinton criticizes Russia for occupying Georgia

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton re-buked Russia yesterday for failing to live up to the cease-fire agreement it signed nearly two years ago to end the fighting in this small former Soviet state.

She asserted that Russia is occupying parts of Geor-gia and building permanent military bases in contra-vention of the truce.

“We’re calling on the Russians to enforce the agree-ment they signed,” she told a news conference with Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili at her side. She said that includes pulling its troops back to the po-sitions they held before the invasion. Several times she pointedly referred to Russian troops as occupiers. She said the U.S. was “appalled and totally rejected” Rus-sia’s rationale for the invasion, which temporarily put U.S.-Russian relations in a deep freeze and prompted NATO to suspend cooperation with Moscow.

“The United States is steadfast in its commitment to Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” she said. “The United States does not recognize spheres of influence,” she added, referring to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s claim that his country has “privi-leged interests” and special influence in Georgia and other former Soviet states.

Stoudemire agrees to sign with Knicks

Amare Stoudemire is headed to the New York Knicks, and both sides are hoping he’s not coming alone.

The Knicks said yesterday they intend to sign Stoudemire to a con-tract later this week when the free agent moratorium period ends. Stoudemire’s agent, Happy Walters,

said the deal is for the maximum al-lowed, which would be nearly $100 million over five years.

Wearing a blue Knicks hat, Stou-demire said he looked forward to rebuilding a franchise and bringing the Knicks back to the top — maybe with a player such as LeBron James or Dwyane Wade with him.

“I feel great about being a pio-neer and showing my leadership,” he said at Madi-son Square Gar-den, where signs throughout the en-trances showed the player pictured in a Knicks uniform and reading “Welcome, Amare Stoudemire.”

The deal can’t be signed until Thursday, after the salary cap for next season has been set.

Georgia AD resigns following DUIDamon Evans offered another apology on the day

his resignation as Georgia’s athletic director was an-nounced by the school’s president.

The announcement by Michael Adams came after a conference call with the executive committee of the athletic association’s board of directors yesterday. Adams said Evans resigned Sunday, less than a week after Evans was arrested on a DUI charge.

Evans released a statement Mon-day in which he offered “my sincerest apology” to Adams, Georgia officials, coaches, fans and student-athletes.

“It had been my hope since tak-ing the job in 2004 that I would have a long career at UGA,” Evans said. “But because of a serious mistake

in judgment, that won’t be the case and I understand that I have a long road to rebuilding my reputation and career.”

Evans was arrested late last Wednesday in Atlanta. He was charged with DUI and failure to maintain a lane. Also arrested with him was Courtney Fuhrmann, who was charged with disorderly conduct.

Evans said Thursday Fuhrmann is “just a friend.” According to the incident report, the arresting officer said Fuhrmann told him she had been seeing Evans for “only a week or so.”

Evans and his wife, Kerri, have two children. He apologized to his wife Thursday as she attended his news conference.

Evans became the Southeastern Conference’s first black athletic director in 2004.

There was no immediate word on a replacement.

Ex-Red Wings, Blackhawks tough guy Probert dies

Retired hockey enforcer Bob Probert, as adept with his fists as with a stick in a 16-season career with the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks, died yes-terday after suffering chest pains while boating with his family. He was 45.

“Bob lost the fight of his life this afternoon,” said Probert’s father-in-law, Dan Parkinson, a police officer who performed CPR before Probert was rushed to On-tario’s Windsor Regional Medical Center.

Probert was on a boat in Lake St. Clair with his wife, children and in-laws when he “developed severe chest pains” yesterday, family friend Rich Rogow said at a news conference at the medical center last night.

“This is a tragedy for the family,” Parkinson said. “We ask that you respect their privacy at this time.”

Probert, who struggled to overcome drinking prob-lems during his time in the NHL, played for the Red Wings in 1985-1994 and for the Blackhawks in 1995-2002.

“Bob was a part of our very first NHL Draft class that also included Steve Yzerman, Joe Kocur, Petr Klima and Stu Grimson,” Red Wings owners Mike and Mar-

ian Ilitch said in a statement. “Bob was always there for his teammates and was one of the toughest men to ever play in the NHL.

“He also was one of the kindest, most colorful, and beloved players Detroit has ever known.”

Armstrong joins spills in Tour’s second stage

ATHLETIC STUFF

Sylvain Chavanel of France wins; Lance sitting in 5thOn a day of chaos and crashes,

riders tumbled like dominoes in the rain and littered the road in a scene Lance Armstrong called “surreal.”

The seven-time champion did not escape the mayhem at the Tour de France yesterday. He was left searching for his bike, nursing scrapes and bruises to his hip and elbow and joking about the decision to come out of retirement. He was in good company, joining dozens of riders who hit the asphalt on a slip-pery downhill run some likened to ice skating.

Sylvain Chavanel of France was among few to avoid trouble. He sped to victory after breaking away early in the 125-mile trip from Brussels to Spa and taking the yellow jersey from Switzerland’s Fabian Cancel-lara. With the pack banged-up, he finished nearly four minutes ahead.

With so many riders down in crashes, organizers said they briefly considered canceling the stage alto-gether. But under the race rules, the spills were too spread out to war-rant a cancellation.

Armstrong returned to the Ra-dioShack team bus with his team outfit torn and a bloody scrape on his thigh. His team said he also in-jured his elbow but otherwise was all right.

“You had people everywhere. It was surreal. When I got back on my bike … I saw crash, after crash, after crash,” Armstrong said, not-ing riders laid out on the ground. “It was like war.”

Chavanel began the stage in 87th place and knocked everyone on the leaderboard down a notch: Cancel-lara dropped to second, 2 minutes, 57 seconds behind. Germany’s Tony Martin is third, 3:07 back.

Armstrong sits fifth, 3:19 back, and defending champion Alberto Contador of Spain is seventh, 3:24 behind. The Spanish two-time Tour winner bruised his right hip, knee and elbow but was expected to start Tuesday.

Some riders believed a motorcy-cle crash in the race caravan before

the pack passed left oil on the road, creating an especially slick mix with the rain.

On the descent from the midlevel Stockeu Pass, Armstrong, Contador and 2009 runner-up Andy Schleck all went down. Armstrong said he knew he was not badly hurt, but he did have other concerns.

“I knew I was fine,” he said. “My first thought was: ‘Where is my bike?’ I tried to find my bike. You know in the rain these guys are very good downhill. I’m not one of them. But even the good ones, with something like that: No chance. Ab-solutely no chance.”

Everybody finished, except French rider Mickael Delage, who slammed into a road barrier early in the stage. The Omega Pharma-Lot-to rider was taken to hospital with a concussion, a broken bone in his face and shoulder, knee and hand injuries.

Scrapes and bruises were report-ed by the dozens, and nearly every team was affected. Some riders es-timated at least half the 194-rider peloton had fallen. A post-stage medical report listed 23 as at least slightly injured during the day.

On the Garmin-Transitions team alone, Americans Tyler Farrar and Christian Vande Velde and Julian Dean of New Zealand were taken to a hospital for evaluation.

“Riding downhill was almost like ice skating,” said Johan Bruyneel, the RadioShack manager and Arm-strong’s longtime mentor. Team-mates Andreas Kloeden and Levi Leipheimer fell. “Almost half of the peloton crashed today,” Bruyneel said.

The spills wreaked havoc on or-ganizers and riders alike. Some took longer to rejoin the race than others.

After Schleck dropped several minutes back of the pack—threat-ening his Tour title ambitions—the main bunch appeared to slow down, with his Saxo Bank teammate Can-cellara at the front.

Between Schleck, under an escort from his older brother and team-mate Frank, and Chavanel’s group at the front, confusion broke out in the pack about how to respond in a sporting and competitive way.

“There was a group up the road, we didn’t know what to do,” Arm-strong said. “The Schlecks were be-hind, some other guys were behind. It was sort of a conflict about what to do then.”

Contador said he ordered his Astana team to wait.

Cancellara, who as race leader can act as spokesman for the pack, asked Tour organizers not to award points for a final sprint out of respect

‘Carnage’ predicted for today’s cobblestone stage

In today’s Tour de France stage 3, the 193 riders will bump, rattle and roll over seven separate sections, 8 miles in all of cobbles that at times will feel more like riding on the rocky bed of dry river than on a road.

“There is always the possibility of punctures or falls. This stage will frighten everyone and the race favorites may lose precious minutes,” says the Tour’s official website.

These aren’t the neatly laid baby little cobbles you get in the city centers of Paris and elsewhere. They are roughly hewn rocks so bumpy that special metal pro-tective undersides are fitted to the cars that carry race officials, mechanics and team bosses following riders

during the Paris-Roubaix race.There are potholes and, often, large gaps between the

stones, perfect for snagging a tire. The paths also have what amount to nasty speed bumps. Riders will have to either ride in the dusty channels that run along both sides of the paths or on top of the bumpy spine in the middle.

“Going.To.Be.Carnage,” tweeted Lance Armstrong after inspecting the cobbles last week.

Today’s third stage takes the pack on a 132-mile ride from Wanze Arenberg, Belgium, to Porte du Hainaut, France.

Vande Velde out of TourAmerican Christian Vande Velde

pulled out of the Tour de France af-ter breaking two ribs in a crash dur-ing yesterday’s second stage of the race.

Vande Velde was involved in one of the several crashes that marred the 125-mile rain-soaked stage from Brussels to Spa in Belgium.

His Garmin-Transitions team said

Vande Velde “suffered a left eyelid laceration requiring multiple stitch-es, along with two broken ribs.”

His teammates Tyler Farrar and Julian Dean, who also were taken to a hospital for checks, will be able to start today’s stage, Garmin said, although Farrar broke his left wrist.

French sports minister won’t judge ArmstrongFrench Sports Minister Roselyne Bachelot is taking a

wait-and-see approach when it comes to Floyd Landis’ allegations that seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong doped during his career.

Landis, stripped of the 2006 Tour de France title for doping, gave the Wall Street Journal new details about his use of banned products in a story published last week, and accused Armstrong of receiving blood trans-fusions during the 2004 Tour.

Landis also said some of the bikes provided to Arm-strong’s team were sold to help the former U.S. Postal Service team fund his doping program.

Armstrong, who is competing in his last Tour this year, denied the accusations and compared them to a “carton of sour milk.”

“I’m not a sports minister who condemns before hav-

ing received serious evidence,” Bachelot said yesterday before the Tour’s second stage. “There is an inquiry in the United States and the people who are conducting it are not known for being lax. They’ve gotten some high-profile sportsmen on their list of conquests.

“I trust the American authorities.”Landis’ allegations reportedly have drawn the atten-

tion of U.S. Food and Drug Administration agent Jeff Novitzky, the lead investigator in the BALCO doping case. Armstrong said Novitzky had not contacted him or his lawyers.

Bachelot said Tour organizers have made eradicat-ing doping their priority and pointed out that cycling is on the forefront of the fight against the use of perfor-mance-enhancing drugs.

recent Vail economic impact study. Developers want to reclaim the old B&B gravel pit and build a medical campus, housing and several public amenities, including increased river access.

The Atira Group made their initial presentation to the county commis-sioners two months ago and the first public hearing followed a couple weeks later.

NIMBYs vs. NOWBYsThat first public hearing went

pretty much as expected.Some say it should retain its pris-

tine pasture status, because cattle grazing are what they were look-ing for when they came here from somewhere else – although there was a lot more of that in these parts before people started displacing cattle with condos.

Others can’t wait to see devel-opment, pointing out the hundreds of permanent jobs in the medical industry, one of the industries actu-ally growing that’s not the federal government. Those permanent jobs would follow thousands of con-struction workers who would build it.. Also, they point out, most of it’s already a gravel pit, and there’s nothing pristine about it.

“When it’s done, you’ll get the same open space acreage as the Ea-gle River Preserve, only with more

trails and more fishing access,” said Lance Badger with the Atira Group.

Our story so farIt’s a sketch plan right now. That’s

the first of a three-part review and approval process that these sorts of development proposals have to wade through before developers can start building.

The Eagle River Meadows sketch plan started through the county’s planning commission since Janu-ary. The planning commission unanimously approved it on April 21, sending it to the county com-missioners with a recommendation for approval, with conditions.

If the sketch plan is approved, the applicant will have two years to get a preliminary plan approval from those same county officials. A preliminary plan is much more de-tailed.

How it’s situatedEagle River Meadows would

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

The buildings would go where the gravel pit and mining facilities are now, and on the south side where

the land rises out of the flood plain. The south side, the Highway 6

side, is proposed to be home to about 260,000 square feet of medi-cal facilities, to include some re-lated retail. It’ll also be home to around 140 residential units.

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

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

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

The whole project is downstream from the Eagle River Preserve, that big bunch of open space in Ed-wards. The development’s density would thin out along the border it shares with the 72-acre Eagle River Preserve open space.

Trails through Eagle River Mead-ows would connect to the ECO Trails system through the Eagle River Preserve.

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

EAgLE RIVER MEADOWS 2ND MEETINg –--------------- [From page 1]

for the fallen riders, course director Jean-Francois Pescheux said. Tour organizers called it a show of good sportsmanship.

That request, made with just 1.2 miles left, was honored by the race jury and, in effect, slowed the fin-ish. The decision will have deprived some sprinters of points in the com-petition for the green jersey, which is awarded to the race’s best sprinter.

“There was no reason to not con-test the sprint today,” said two-time

green jersey winner Thor Hushovd of Norway.” Everyone made a gen-tleman’s agreement not to sprint, but I lost an important opportunity to try to win the stage and gain points.”

Armstrong was already lucky to have avoided six crashes in Sun-day’s first stage. The mishaps have injected drama into the first week of racing even before its most dreaded test: Tuesday’s run on seven patches of cobblestones.

Armstrong, who returned to the

Tour last year after a 3 1/2 -year re-tirement, got a handy reminder of the treachery that often lurks early in the three-week race. Many sprint-ers are eager to win a stage, and the pack can get antsy and nervous. It’s all a far cry from Armstrong’s easier life as a retiree.

“Almost all day, I wondered why I came off the beach,” Armstrong cracked, reiterating that this Tour will be his last. “But I’ll be back at it tomorrow.”

Rolling Stones or E Street Band at their hungriest. Hav-ing shared the stage with rock icons like AC/DC and ZZ Top, Tyler & The Lights have used those experi-ences to craft their own version of a great show. From the first note, the band grabs hold of the audience and keeps them hooked until the last chord.
