THE UPDATE

Imagine snagging a top level parking spot in Vail, hitting town for 2 hours and 31 minutes, handing your parking stub to the people in the window upon leav-ing and having them tell you “That will be $65, please.”

While many remember when lift tick-ets weren’t even that much, parking workers say there’s a method to their

madness. Drivers will pay $15 for two and a half hours in one of the primo spaces. After that, they’ll pay $50 to stay for another five minutes or another five hours. Parking will still be $25 for all day down below in the structure, and it will be free for drivers who come in after 3 p.m.

The idea is to get people do their busi-ness within two and a half hours and leave if they park on top, said Mike Rose,

Lodging is down, dining is down, re-tail is down, real estate is down, but the cost of parking on some Vail front-age road spots may soon be upped.

Vail town workers plan to create two, new semi-permanent parking zones with a total of about 200 spac-es for Vail workers. The town’s vol-unteer parking committee on Thurs-

day approved the plan, which will be forwarded to the town council for dis-cussion.

Most likely, people who work in Vail at least 20 hours per week will be able to buy a $200 parking pass for the ski season that would be good for a parking spot on the North Front-

The economy is picking up, we know this because we’re seeing an increase in the sale of men’s under-wear, which is good.

Also we’re seeing an increase in real estate sales, which is better.

The Eagle Valley Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual Busi-ness Forum Thursday morning, and we learned a few things, such as:

We may be at the bottom, and if we are the view isn’t as bad as we thought.

“In September, we saw 83 real estate transactions under contract,” Prudential Realtor Chad Brasing-ton told the crowd. “In comparison, closings in Sept. 2008 were half that. So we’re on the way back up. Consumer confidence is coming back, people need or want homes.”

Planning is the key to succeed-ing through times like these, said Randy Olin, Chamber treasurer and vice president for finance with the Gallegos Corp. These days, cash on hand and low debt are flashy and fashionable.

About half the companies that succeed through something like this are planners. About half are not, Olin said. On the other hand, non-planners almost never survive.

“It’s like chess. You start with a plan, then adapt because your com-petition is almost never going to let

you stick with it,” Olin said. “Dur-ing boom times, many people forget that sound business practices still apply. But when the tide goes out we see who’s swimming naked.”

Phil Frank has been in the bank-ing industry for 30 years. In 1979 he was writing certificates with 18 percent interest rates.

In 2006-2007, we saw the final days of easy money, he said.

“Banks were pouring out the money, the regulatory environment was easy to deal with. Banks were opening branches and making lots of money,” Frank said.

Then the house of cards collapsed. New regulations took a tougher view of commercial real estate loans, development deals and loans for spec houses. Regulators wanted banks to actually have more money in to cover some of that debt.

Banks had to get tougher on bor-rowers, who also have to own ac-tual money and have an actual job to get a loan.

“It’ll be harder to qualify. You have to have your financial house in order,” Frank said.

Eagle County’s population will remain steady until 2013 to 2015, then start to grow again, says Eliza-beth Garner, Colorado’s state de-mographer.

You know Aspen is a drinking town with a skiing problem? The Eagle River Valley is a resort town with a construction problem, and

economic diversity is not likely, at least not any time soon, panel mem-bers said.

“I don’t see anywhere on the hori-zon that indicates we’re going to be anything except a resort economy,” said panel member and Eagle Coun-ty Commissioner Jon Stavney. “We need to look at what we do well and focus on that.”

Frank said he doubts light indus-try will come here. Housing costs too much, and it’s cot prohibitive to transport goods around in the mountains.

Then there the land costs.“Industrial land here is $8.25 per

foot. In metro Denver it’s $2.25 per foot. Where would you go?” Bras-ington asked.

In the meantime, said Olin, we should keep doing what we’re good at – recreation.

More than 3,000 people are com-ing for a soccer tournament this weekend. Every time a youth team comes to the area for a tournament, it leaves tens of thousands of dol-lars in its wake, according to the Western Eagle County Metropoli-tan Recreation District.

“We can work together or we can die alone,” said Olin, quoting the TV show “Lost.” “We should buy local and hire local firms whenever we can. The job you save may be your own.”

All is not lost, Eagle Valley Chamber biz forum panel says

Friday, October 2, 2009 Vail Mountaineer 3

A nearly $3 million state-of-the-art snowmaking project on Golden Peak will soon be up and running, which has Ski and Snowboard Club Vail’s Executive Director Aldo Radamus pretty excited.

“When the temperature gets a little colder, it will be a virtual blizzard up here,” said Radamus, as we toured the Golden Peak race arena recently. “No promises though, it’s all weather dependent, because with moth-er nature there’s no guarantees.”

Construction workers contracted by Vail Resorts this week were digging ditches to accommodate new water piping on the slope, putting the finishing touches on a new pump house and setting up the last of 17 Super Pole Cat tower fan guns along the competition arena, which will generate a snow storm mother nature would be proud of.

The workers have also covered the steep pitch of the Afterthought slope with material to encourage reveg-etation.

Most of the water piping that was needed is already in existence thanks to the old system, Radamus said.

The improved snowmaking infrastructure to Golden Peak will increase capacity, automation and quality of snowmaking to service the world class training arena for all SSCV athletes from Alpine, Freestyle, Snow-board, Freeride and Nordic techniques.

The new snowmaking system is fully automated and centrally controlled, able to generate training condi-tions when temperatures plunge as soon as November 1.

Logging some early training hours used to mean some members of the 500 strong SSCV had to travel to Summit County to use other high elevation training grounds, an expensive and in certain conditions haz-ardous trip over the pass in winter.

“There’s a great deal of expense, as well as unnec-essary risk that goes along with putting 100 kids and their coaches in vans and driving over the pass,” said Radamus. “The whole idea is to provide world class training to our Ski and Snowboard Club Vail kids…the opportunity for an early training season and the poten-tial for our kids to train at home.”

Under perfect conditions the club would be able to open the arena 30 to 45 days earlier than usual and also increase the length of their training season.

A little more than two-thirds of the entire project is aid for so far, the result private donations raised by SSCV and Vail Resorts, but Radamus hopes the costs will be offset by consumer traffic.

“One of the neat things we’ve been able to do is to invite men and women’s national teams and a number

of ski teams other countries, who will train here as guests,” said Radamus. “We feel like this will have a positive impact on the economic community as a whole having hundreds of competitors and their staff here at a time when there is very little tourist traffic.”

When coupled with the low elevation of Golden Peak, the new snowmaking system will provide a unique ter-rain ideal for training.

“Racers need to have snow that’s as close to ice as possible,” said Radamus. “Because Golden Peak race arena is dedicated to competition and training, we real-ly can make the snow ideal for racing because it’s lower in elevation compared to Copper and Loveland.”

The public will also benefit from the new snow mak-ing system, Radamus said, because it will allow Vail Resorts to open the public arena and half-pipe earlier in the season.

Besides allowing local U.S. Ski Team members like Lindsey Vonn, Sara and Hunter Schleper and Greta Byrne to train at home, the club has linked up with the German and Slovenian national teams, Whistler Moun-tain ski club, Stratton Falls ski school of Vermont and Mission Ridge ski club, who will also partake n train-ing on Golden Peak.

SSCV, together with Vail Resorts has provided world class training to its members since Vail’s beginnings. Students of Vail Ski and Snowboard Academy, children as young as six and aspiring X-Games and World Cup athletes all train on the club’s grounds.

On Nov. 21, SSCV plans to have a ribbon cutting cer-emony at their annual fundraiser, with a torch light ski on the race arena with skiers such as Vonn and Byrne.

Volunteers dedicated to clearing a hiking, biking and running trail in Eagle-Vail are rolling up their sleeves once more Saturday for construction.

The Eagle-Vail Trail Crew, organized by resident and chairman Paul Hields, was founded with the unique purpose of building a trail that connects Paulie’s Plunge with Beaver Creek.

“It’s a brand new trail, there’s never been an official access point,“ said Hields. “For mountain bikers, the huge benefit is this trail hooks into Paulie’s Plunge, also known as the Stone Creek trail, so anybody doing a loop down Paulie’s Plunge will be able to add another two miles of single track to their ride.”

At two miles long, the east to west trail begins at the 17th hole of the Eagle-Vail golf course, ending at the 10th hole and Grouse Court.

The forest service was contracted by the group to cut away an eight-foot wide swath of dead vegetation along the trail, which will end up with an 18-inch wide footpath. Volunteers will dig, rake and shovel the path for use.

“If you’re a hiker, mountain biker, or runner and looking for more single track trail, this is a great op-portunity to come help out,” said Hields, an avid area mountain biker for 20 years, who formed the Eagle-Vail Trail Crew two and a half years ago.

The idea for the trail was born one day when Hields wanted to add more miles to his daily ride.

“One day I was riding down Paulie’s Plunge from Beaver Creek and there was a little homemade sign pointing to (Eagle-Vail) and it went through my mind that all of our trail signs and trails should be hand made,” he said. “I went to the Eagle-Vail property owners association and said ‘Hey, how about we build a trail on the south side of the golf course, I’ll rally together a trail crew,’ and they thought that was great idea.”

Hields was cut enlist the USFS, which conducted an environmental analysis before any clear cutting was done to determine the trail’s impact on local wildlife.

The Eagle Valley Metro District, Eagle-Vail Prop-erty Owners association and Eagle County each split the $45,000 cost to build the trail, helped by the use of volunteers instead f a private entity.

“All along we’ve contracted with the forest service, so we’re paying the forest service to build this trail and using volunteers to both keep the price down and get things to happen much quicker, we want this done as soon as possible,” said Hields.

The USFS trail crew will continue to work on the trail every day this month.

At the group’s last Volunteer Day, held Sept. 19, 63 volunteers made headway on the project, clearing away a sixth of a mile of what will be called the “Eagle-Vail Trail.”

Volunteers included members of Arrowhead Alpine Club, a contingent from the Trail Action Group (TAG), residents of Edwards, Avon, Vail, nine work release in-mates of the Eagle County Detention Center and two sheriffs deputies.

This Saturday’s effort is vital because a sixth of a mile is less than one third of the total distance needed to complete the trail, which Hields hopes to finish be-fore winter.

“Volunteer Trail day” will run from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. Volunteers will meet at meet in the Ea-gle-Vail Swim Club parking lot.

Tools will be provided by the USFS and beer and BBQ will conclude the day’s work.

For more information call Tom Snyder 970-748-9063.

Volunteers are needed for Sat-urday’s effort, which Hields hopes will help com-plete the trail by this winter.


Members of the Mendez family cut the ribbon on their new Habitat for Humanity home, the latest in the local chapter’s series of homes in Edwards. Randy Wyrick photo.

The cold never felt warmer than during Thursday’s two Habitat for Humanity home dedications.

Two local families cut the ribbons on their new homes, which they built in partnership with the local chapter, Habitat for Humanity of Eagle and Lake Counties.

Emilio and Rosalia Mendez and their children, Bren-da, Maricela, Emilio and Gabriel; and Carla Amaya and her children, Brenda and Gilberto, slept in their dream homes last night.

“These families have been a strong arm in dream-ing and building this house. Habitat for Humanity is the other strong arm,” said Rob Wilson, pastor of Ea-gle River Presbyterian Church during the dedication. “Here’s to two strong arms in this community coming together.”

When the ribbons fell, if there wasn’t a dry eye in the house, they were lying eyes.

“These homes have been created by these families,” said Rick Mueller, incoming board president for the local Habitat chapter. “They’ve put hundreds of hours into them.

Emily Peyton is the local Habitat chapter’s family services director. It’s a long way from selecting partner families to handing them the keys. For most families, this is their first home and they need to be taught how home ownership and household budgeting works.

What these two families did not need to be taught, though, was how to work.

“It usually takes a year to work their 500 hours,” said Peyton. “They did it in a couple months.”

Chupa Nelson, the Nelson in the construction com-pany R.A. Nelson, was more direct. “You’ve worked your butts off to make this happen,” he said.

The list of sponsors, supporters and friends is long for an organization like this. Habitat for Humanity Con-struction Manager Jim Himmes thanked them all, then let the crowd know that while this set of townhomes is finished, much more work is just beginning.

Plans call for four more buildings containing 16 townhomes on the Fox Hollow site.

When it was the families’ turn to talk, Carla Amaya cried and laughed and smiled and said, “God bless you, and our prayer is that God blesses you more.”

As the families were handed quilts, keys, Bibles and a few housewarming gifts, God had already blessed them more.

Somewhere in the mountains of Colorado, the Frogs are hoppin’ out of their local fishin’ hole and hustlin’ over to the Sandbar for a funky annual mutation.

Frogs Gone Fishin’ and Hustle will be sharing the stage Saturday night, which promisses to be a crazy co-laboration of the Valley’s funkiest jam bands.

Hustle guitarist Sean Healey said playing with the Frogs is a genuinely amazing experience. “With wis-dom beyond their years, it’s been an honor to learn from them, play with them and watch them grow as people and as a band. They will be my friends till I leave this planet.”

Frogs lead guitarist Trevor Jones explained that the two bands met over three years ago on New Year’s Eve at the late Rumpus Room in Edwards.

“We all ended up jamming that night, and the rest is history,” Jones said. “Next to Some Mountain Jam, which only happens once a year, Frogs Gone Hustlin’ at The Sandbar is the best tradition that has grown out of such a remarkable friendship involving so many men with beards.”

“We couldn’t thank Hustle enough for what they’ve done for us as a band in the Valley,” Jones added. “We are all such great friends outside of music now, it adds a third dimension to the times when we do get to play together on the same stage.”

Andrew Portwood of Frogs Gone Fishin’ said that the two bands are very comfortable together on stage. “There could be any combination of members playing because we know songs from both bands’ catalogs. It is

all about listening and making it flow,” he said.While their long-standing friendship and musical fa-

miliarity helps Frogs Gone Hustlin’ bring it all together, having eight musicians on stage at the same time is a challenge that requires some planning.

“Well, it gets a little tricky with four guitars, two basses and two drum sets. Everyone has to occupy their own particular space in the tonal mix,” said Jones.

In other words, if Hustle drummer Pete Haugh is lay-ing it on thick and lead guitarist Justin Ernest is tak-ing a solo up high, Frogs Drummer Mark Levy might play something textural on the cymbols while guitarist Jones might play lower, more rhythmic notes.

“It’s all about covering all parts of the frequency spectrum, without getting busy.” Jones said. “That way, nobody’s ears get tired and the audience enjoys a nice wall of sound. Portwood and Sean both have growling, dirty vocal tones that compliment each other, as well.”

Hustle drummer Haugh explained that all big-time jam bands have some form of multi percussion. “The Dead, Allman and Panic all have multi percussion. The trick is for Mark and I to compliment each other, not try to outplay and overplay. There are a lot of little things being done to make sure that happens.”

If that’s all too technical for you, Sean Healey prom-ises that the show “will melt your face right off your head.”

Doors open at 8 p.m. The music starts at 9:30 p.m. The Turtle Bus will be making loops to the Sandbar from Edwards with stops in Avon along the way. The cost for a ride is $3 one-way and $5 roundtrip, with drinks for sale on the bus. Call 471-0547 to make res-ervations.

Vail local Chris Anthony will be in Boulder on Octo-ber 10 sharing a first-hand, behind-the-scenes account of the making of the new Warren Miller film Dynasty, which is coming to the Vilar Center in November.

Anthony has skied all over the world, not just in places like Switzerland and France. His skiing resume includes places like Iran, Kazakhstan and Ecuador to name a few.

He’s cut lines down mountains that no one had ever thought to ski before, but his recent trip to Mongolia, he says, was “the most epic journey yet.”

If you’ve seen a Warren Miller film in the last two de-cades, Chris Anthony skied in it. And there was no bet-ter way to celebrate his twenty-year anniversary than an expedition to discover the origin of the sport that has defined his life, he said.

The inspiration for the trip to North West China was to investigate a rumor that archeologists had discovered a petroglyph (rock carving) that dates back 3000 years and depicts indigenous people on skis. If confirmed, the revelation would raise questions about the long-standing belief that skiing originated in Norway.

Anthony and the Warren Miller team set off to Bei-jing, not quite sure exactly how they would reach their ultimate destination of a rumored ski community in the Altai Mountains.

From Beijing, the crew of five took a four-hour flight over the Gobi Desert to the city of Urumchi, followed by a van ride to a rural village in the Altai Mountains, where they were to meet the Kasak horsemen that would be guiding them on their snowy mission.

They were greeted by an old man with leathery hands and face, the father of the horsemen, who came running out of his home and embraced the crew with warmth in the frigid temperatures.

The crew was introduced to the newest members of the team: three Kasak horsemen (a.k.a. Smiley, Nor-bit and David Bowie), their official guide Akbar (who helped facilitate the whole trek, but didn’t really know where he was going, Anthony said) and seven short, sturdy horses, the toughest animals Anthony has ever seen.

The Warren Miller crew and their newly acquired en-tourage set out into the Mongolian mountains through a meter of snow and in temperatures forty degrees below zero.

“It was the most serious situation I’ve ever been in,” he said. “I started thinking, what if somebody gets frostbite, or breaks a leg, or gets a stomach virus? Who’s going to come get us? We have a satellite phone, but what am I going to do, call the Warren Miller office in Boulder? What are they going to do, call the U.S. Embassy in Beijing?”

Beating the elements, overcoming language barriers and navigational uncertainty, the Warren Miller crew traveled half way around the world and journeyed out into the far reaches of the Altai Mountains. They did all this because of a hunch – a hunch that somewhere out there is a mountain community of skiers that “legiti-mizes the sport of skiing.”

Anthony to speak about Warren Miller movieBy Geoff Mintz

Special to the Mountaineer

FEATURE

And they were right.As the crew was preparing to say goodbye to their

horsemen and Akbar, one of the men led the crew to a rock carving of men with spears hunting game, and, sure enough, they were on skis.

The petroglyph now resides in the Beijing Museum of Natural Science.

Warren Miller’s new film “Dynasty” will make its world premier in Salt Lake City October 16 and will be playing at the Vilar Center in Beaver Creek November

Obama said at the White House after talks ended ear-lier in the day in Switzerland. “Our patience is not un-limited.”

If Iran fails to live up to its promises of cooperation, “then the United States will not continue to negotiate indefinitely and we are prepared to move toward in-creased pressure,” the president warned.

30-year mortgage rate nearing record low

Rates on 30-year home loans dropped below 5 per-cent for the first time in four months, but still remained above this year’s record low, Freddie Mac said Thurs-day.

The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage was 4.94 percent, down from 5.04 percent last week, Fred-die Mac said. The last time the 30-year home loan aver-aged less than 5 percent was the week ending May 28, when it was 4.91 percent.

Rates hit a record low of 4.78 percent hit in the spring, and remain appealing for people interested in buying a home or refinancing.

On Thursday, the National Association of Real-tors said the number of signed sales contracts rose for the seventh straight month in August, as homebuyers rushed to take advantage of a tax credit for first-time owners that expires in November.

“Low mortgage rates are helping to stabilize home sales,” said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac’s chief econo-mist.

Swiss know more than chocolate

Like every other country in Europe, Switzerland guarantees health care for all its citizens. But the system here does not remotely resemble the model of bureau-cratic, socialized medicine often cited by opponents of universal coverage in the United States, according to The New York Times.

Swiss private insurers are required to offer coverage to all citizens, regardless of age or medical history. And those people, in turn, are obligated to buy health insur-ance, writes The Times’ Nelson D. Schwartz.

That is why many academics who have studied the Swiss health care system have pointed to this Alpine nation of about 7.5 million as a model that delivers much of what Washington is aiming to accomplish — without the contentious option of a government-run health insurance plan, reports Schwartz.

By many measures, the Swiss reportedly are healthier than Americans, and surveys indicate that Swiss people are generally happy with their system.

Innovative solutions from the Golden State

The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to pass an ordinance requiring that all new buildings, including homes, must have anti-graffiti coating unless the owners promise to remove graffiti soon after it appears.

The law still needs signed approval from Mayor An-tonio Villaraigosa, and would take effect 30 days after.

Tony Perez, a spokesman for Councilman Ed Reyes, says the coating is a chemical type of gloss making it

easier to wipe off graffiti.It must cover walls and doors from the ground to at

least nine feet.Owners are exempt if they sign an agreement with

the city’s Department of Building and Safety promis-ing to remove tags within seven days of graffiti being applied, or within 72 hours of being notified by the de-partment.

Still red after all these years

Jets, tanks and missile-toting trucks thundered through Beijing on Thursday in a show of military muscle to celebrate six decades of communist rule and China’s transformation from a war-battered regional player into global economic superpower.

Most people in the capital could only watch the elab-orate ceremony for the founding of the People’s Re-public unfold on national television, as tight security excluded ordinary people from getting near the parade route through Tiananmen Square.

Precisely choreographed, the two-and-half-hour event hewed closely to tradition. President Hu Jintao, in a Mao jacket instead of a business suit, rode in an open-top Red Flag limousine to review the thousands of troops. A parade of kitschy floats, flanked by more than 100,000 people, lauded the communist revolution and the Beijing Olympics.

A female militia in red miniskirts and shiny white boots added a jolt of color to the sea of fatigues — and showcased efforts by the armed forces to be more in-clusive.

Even the weather cooperated, after the government’s

“The message that is intended is: ‘We are modern, we are Chinese, we are great, we are fantastic, and we all do it because of the great leadership of the Communist Party,’” said Steve Tsang, a China politics expert at Ox-ford University.

Polanski thriller PG-13’dRoman Polanski’s arrest in Switzerland has left his

latest film in limbo, with several months of work before the political thriller is ready for theaters.

Polanski’s agent, International Creative Management chief Jeff Berg, said Polanski had completed much of the editing on “The Ghost.” But other post-production work, including music scoring and sound mixing, had yet to be done, Berg said.

Based on the provocative novel by Robert Harris, “The Ghost” stars Pierce Brosnan as fictional former British leader Adam Lang and Ewan McGregor as a ghostwriter hired to help complete his memoirs. The cast includes Kim Cattrall, Tom Wilkinson, Olivia Wil-liams and James Belushi.

While the film does not yet have a U.S. deal, it has distribution in many overseas territories, among them Germany, where it was shot early this year, and France, where Polanski lives. He fled America in 1978 after pleading guilty to having unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl in Los Angeles.

Polanski was arrested over the weekend in Zurich, where he had traveled to receive a lifetime achieve-ment award from a film festival. His lawyer said Polan-ski will fight U.S. attempts to have him returned to the United States.

With Polanski jailed, it’s unknown when work might resume on “The Ghost.”

Michael Moore a conflicted capitalist

Documentary film director Michael Moore, who has become a millionaire thanks to the profits from his movies, reportedly told CNSNews.com that “capital-ism did nothing” for him.

CNSNews.com spoke with Moore on the red carpet at the Uptown Theatre in Washington, D.C., on Tues-day night before the premiere of his upcoming docu-mentary, “Capitalism: A Love Story.”

CNSNews.com reportedly asked: “Critics may say, when they see this movie, Michael Moore has amassed a fortune of over $50 million, some have said and –”

Moore was quoted replying: “Really? Are you kid-ding me? Seriously? Wow. Where did it go?”

CNSNews.com then asked Moore: “Critics would say he’s [Moore] been very successful under a capi-talist system. How would you justify making a movie where you paint capitalism as evil?”

Moore reportedly said: “Well, capitalism did noth-ing for me, starting with my first film. You know, I had to pretty much beg, borrow and steal,” he said. “The system is not set up to help somebody from the work-ing class make a movie like this and get the truth out there.”

Lohan starting to look like her purse, shoes, belt

Hollywood wild child Lindsay Lohan has partied so hard she has the skin of a woman in her mid-30s, ac-cording to a leading celebrity surgeon, reports The San Francisco Chronicle.

Alex Karidis was quoted insisting the “Mean Girls”

actress, 23, is suffering the ill effects of years of late-night drinking sessions -- premature aging and wrinkly skin.

He reportedly tells Britain’s Closer magazine, “She looks at least ten years older. Those deep creases on her forehead are probably caused by a combination of things, including sun damage, smoking, and too much boozing, which dehydrates and ages the skin.

“When you’re young, you think you’re invincible. But with pale skin like Lindsay’s, it just shows the damage that can be done at such a young age. Skin can deteriorate very quickly. She could reduce the lines by improving her lifestyle, but that would mean giving up the partying.”

Government-owned auto sales down 45 percent

A Cash for Clunkers hangover hit every major auto-maker except Hyundai last month, pushing down sales and leaving the industry searching for signs of a recovery in October.

U.S. sales of cars and light trucks fell to just under 746,000 in Sep-tember, down 41 percent from Au-gust.

Both GM and Chrysler were the biggest losers last month, while Ford, the healthiest of the Detroit Three, reported the smallest drop of major automakers. Of the top companies, only Hyundai posted higher sales, up 27 percent from September 2008.

Last month’s slump brings car and truck makers back to earth following a heady August. Automakers got a lift from clunkers, which spurred sales of nearly 700,000 new vehicles during the summer months. Big rebates lured in many buyers who otherwise would have wait-ed until later in the year to walk into dealerships.

Still, both GM and Ford said the clunkers letdown should pass by next month. They also forecast a slight recovery in sales with signs of economic improve-ment.

October, however, is traditionally a slow month for sales. On top of that, shoppers are guarding their wal-lets, worried about keeping their jobs in a fragile econ-omy. The question remains whether dealers can really lure them back and help the industry recover over the remainder of the year.

Strange bedfellowsMitt Romney had already sent out invitations for his

Phoenix fund-raiser, offering supporters the chance to meet him in a Chase Field luxury box over a $300-per-person lunch or a $3,000 VIP reception, according to The Boston Globe.

But when former rival John McCain called with an offer to be listed as host for the event in his hometown, Romney happily went back to the printer for a new in-vitation with McCain’s name emblazoned on it, writes The Globe’s Sasha Issenberg.

Yesterday, McCain’s gesture reportedly helped Rom-ney’s political action committee raise about $80,000. It also consummated an 18-month rapprochement be-tween two competitors who battled for the 2008 GOP presidential nomination. Acrimony has been replaced by a professional friendship, the latest success in Rom-ney’s methodical campaign to win over past skeptics as he prepares for another presidential run in 2012, writes Issenberg.

A strong Battle Mountain High School cross-country team is chomping at the bit to excel in the invitational meet they will host tomorrow. Nicer, cool weather and a beautiful Beaver Creek setting will make for ideal running conditions.

The Husky team has had a good season. The boys team placed second at both the Leadville meet and the 9100 Foot Invitational in Frisco, against strong teams from the Front Range. They also came in 7th at the Lib-erty meet in Denver, and tenth at the pre-state competi-tion.

Top boys runner David Shearon has placed in the top ten at every meet, and took first at Leadville. Lady run-ner Amelia Ortiz has placed top ten at every meet ex-cept one, and also won the High School Girls division at the Leadville event.

There is also a Middle School division, and the Eagle County Middle School Runners girls team is expected to do well in their upcoming 2.5K run. The team, al-though thin on numbers, placed a close second at the Frisco meet. They finished a scant two points behind the strong Summit Ridge team from Littleton at the 9100 Foot Invitational, surprising teams from Summit County and the Front Range. Sydney Gaylord scored a strong second, finishing just two seconds behind the leader.

The middle school event is scheduled for 9:30. The high school boys are scheduled for 10:00, followed by the girls at 10:45. Awards are scheduled for 11:30.

The competitions will start and finish at the base of Beaver Creek’s Centennial chairlift.

BMHS also hosts the annual Citizen’s Race, and reg-

istration is still open on race day. It begins at 9:00 a.m., and participants may either run a 5K or a 2.5K. You can pre-register and get information by contacting: [email protected]. The Citizen’s Race is an annual fundraiser for the Battle Mountain Cross Country team, and takes runners from the base of Beaver Creek ski area on a 5K trail along the Village Loop and lower parts of the mountain. The pre-registration fee is $25 and $35 for race-day registration.

With the fall scenery and a mountain course, the events tomorrow promise to be a breath-taking experi-ence for both runners and spectators alike.

Sharapova advances to semifinals in Tokyo

ATHLETIC STUFF

With many top seeds out of the tournament, Maria Sharapova is poised to take down the title at the Toray Pan Pacific Open.

Sharapova advanced to the semifinals on Thursday with a 6-4, 7-5 win over Iveta Benesova.

Former No. 1 Sharapova served to go up 6-5 in the fi-nal set and then broke Benesova to close out the match in 1 hour, 39 minutes and set up a semifinal with either Magdalena Rybarikova or Agnieska Radwanska, who play later Thursday.

Sharapova has struggled since returning from a 10-month injury layoff but said after Wednesday’s win she is starting to feel more comfortable on the court.

Sharapova won her first tournament as a professional at the Japan Open in 2003 and won in Tokyo in 2005. With the top six seeds all out of the tournament, she is positioned well for another shot at a title in the $2 mil-lion event at Ariake Colosseum.

Nike says they didn’t make deal

with Vick On Wednesday, Michael Princi-

pe, the managing director of BEST, the agency that represents Vick, an-nounced the Philadelphia Eagles player had a new deal with Nike during a panel discussion at the Sports Sp onsorship Symposium. Nike said Thursday it does not have a “contractual relationship” with Michael Vick.

Nike said it has “agreed to sup-ply product to Michael Vick as we do a number of athletes who are not under contract with Nike.”

“He actually just became a Nike client,” Principe said Wednesday. “He has a new deal with Nike that we’re all very pleased about.”

Principe declined comment Thursday.

Vick’s agent, Joel Segal, said lat-er Wednesday that Vick looked for-ward to continuing his relationship

with Nike, adding that the player and company had agreed not to re-lease terms of the deal.

Segal did not immediately return a call for comment Thursday.

Nike had initially declined com-ment Wednesday night.

Nike, which signed Vick as a rookie in 2001, terminated his con-tract in August 2007 after he filed a plea agreement admitting his in-volvement in a dogfighting ring.

Tyler Farrar wins first stage of Franco-Belge

American Tyler Farrar continued his good form from the Spanish Vuelta by beating sprint rivals Da-nilo Napolitano and Tom Boonen to win the first stage of the Circuit Franco-Belge Thursday.

Garmin sprinter Farrar will start the race’s second stage, held over 225km between Maubeuge in France to Poperinge in Belgium,

with the race leader’s jersey.Farrar had a promising, but win-

less Tour de France campaign in July but bounced back to win the Hamburg Cyclassics one-day race in August.

“Best Tex-Mex in Town”


There are some great real estate deals in Minturn and Red Cliff these days.

“Prices have been coming down significantly over the last year, with some single-family homes priced un-der $500,000,” said Jay Raiola, owner of My Mountain Realtor in Minturn.

Prices skyrocketed during the Ginn speculation years, but as the national real estate market declined, and the Ginn project was placed on hold, prices in Minturn and Red Cliff came back to reality, Raiola said.

“This is a great time to buy. Unlike the rest of the val-ley, which has been developed and redeveloped, Min-turn and Red Cliff still have plenty of room to grow and change, and they are just minutes from world-class skiing, assuring that property values will increase as the towns evolve.”

In addition, Minturn and Red Cliff are wonderful, unique little towns! They have a sense of community not often found these days, and the scenery is spectacu-lar. In addition to world-famous restaurants and good local grub, new businesses are popping up all the time. People seem to discover Minturn and Red Cliff and end up wanting to stick around.

Several new projects have been approved for re-de-velopment that will greatly add to the community, as well, said Lael Engstrom, owner of Gore Range Realty in Minturn and a c ommissioner on the town’s planning

and zoning department.“These projects have come before the commission

because they want to be a part of Minturn with or with-out the Battle Mountain annexation. This is all very positive for us,” Engstrom said. “I think having proper-ties on the market is good for Minturn. When people stop in my office, they are surprised that we have such a variety here in town to offer buyers.”

Engstrom said that Minturn might feel like a dia-mond in the rough, but that she remembers when the fanciest place in Vail to stay was Poor Richards and the Short Swing.

“It is exciting to be a part of Minturn, and I am pleased that for the first time our town is being repre-sented by locals in real estate including Jay and myself who have made the professional commitment to our community.”

This kid has to be one of the youngest people ever to hit the alcohol, car chase, swimming in lake trifecta ...

RIVERTON, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming police say an 11-year-old boy driving a large SUV led officers on a high speed chase reaching speeds of 100 mph.

Bureau of Indian Affairs police say the chase started about 3 a.m. Tuesday near Riverton in central Wyo-ming and ended about 50 miles away near Crowheart on the Wind River Reservation.

The boy ditched the vehicle and jumped into a lake and began swimming but returned to shore where po-lice collared him.

BIA Special Agent in Charge Charles Addington says that alcohol was involved and that charges were pend-ing in juvenile court.

OCTOBER IS NATIONAL PIzzA MONTH. Sarah and Brian, from JP’s Old Forge Pizza, want to use this month to show people that eating pizza is healthy. Well, eating pizza made from all natural ingredients, with no preservatives or trans-fats is healthy, which is just how JP’s Old Forge Pizza makes it. And to top that off, their cheese is shipped straight in from a dairy in the Midwest. It’s not always how much we’re eating, but what is in what we’re eating. The Mountaineer will keep you posted on the progress and the introduction of new pizzas all month.

BE SURE AND CONTACT the Gourmet Cowboy and Capt. Tom Mcneil for any and all of your party catering needs at 748-6898. Tom is the catering King.

the town‘s parking and transportation coordinator. “There will be a big sign when they come in telling

them, ‘Here’s the damage.’ It’s a definite penalty. The two-line sign will speak for itself,” Rose said.

Formerly $15 to park, $50 for parking ticketThe $65 price tag came from all the $50 tickets that

code enforcement officers handed out to drivers who over-stayed their two-and-a-half-hour limit last ski sea-son, Rose said. The town collected about $60,000 from tickets, but that interaction was sometimes more com-bative than good customer relations, he said.

The new price could also be a public relations prob-lem, however, said Dan T elleen, a volunteer on the town’s parking committee and owner of Karats jewelry store near the parking structure.

“We’re doing it to make sure that if someone comes into town, there’s a place for them,” Telleen said. “It’s really two-and-a-half-hour parking, and we don’t want people abusing that.”

A new, automated system also will help make things work, since there’s only one code enforcement officer assigned to the structure this winter instead of two, Rose said.

age Road near the Middle Creek Apartments and near the West Vail Shell gas station. (Please see related story.)

Parking shortages are nothing new in Vail. Plans for new parking spaces include a new, underground parking structure as part of its pro-posed $2 billion Ever Vail ski vil-lage west of Lionshead. A parking study expected to be presented at the end of the month will discuss the feasibility of new parking at Ford Park.

“We all realize there needs to be a long-term solution,” said Jeff Babb, director of resort operations in Vail for Vail Resorts and a parking com-mittee representative. “Ever Vail would certainly help the situation. Is this a reasonable interim solu-tion? Yes.”

Parking pass more expensive than ‘pink pass’

Critics complain that the new pass plan gives workers no incen-tive to ride the countywide ECO bus, which costs $100 per month, and also puts a heavier burden on workers compared to last ski sea-son‘s similar “pink pass,” which cost $100.

In response, parking committee member Ann Fitz said she would feel better about charging $150 for the new pass, but thought that the $200 discussion was fair.

“You have to pay to live in para-dise. I’ve been doing for 33 years,” Fitz said.

The new plan comes in response to an announcement from state transportation officials on Thursday that they will charge the town as much as $5,000 per day this winter

to maintain the frontage roads. Last ski season, visitors were sent to the South Frontage Road to park on more than 20 busy days after filling up the more than 2,200 spaces in the town’s two parking structures.

“All too often, we end up with parking on the frontage road,” said Peter Kozinski, a state transporta-tion spokesman. “We’re working on a scheme to recoup some of the cost associated with parking on the frontage road.”

While no final decision has been made, the state department of trans-portation plans to allow 15 days of overflow parking for free on the frontage road this winter, Kozinski said. The charge will increase incre-mentally to $5,000 per day for park-ing on the frontage road more than 35 days of the season, he said.
