THE UPDATE

Lindsey Vonn took a deep breath, and her words trickled forth slowly, as she began to discuss the badly bruised and swollen right shin she fears could side-line her at an Olympics many predicted would become her personal showcase.

Indeed, almost anyone with any inter-est in the Vancouver Games — fans and competitors, yes, but also Vonn’s spon-sors and NBC — must have been taken

aback Wednesday when the former Ski and Snowboard Club Vail athlete said: “I’m sitting here today questioning whether, you know, I’ll be even able to ski.”

Vonn revealed the injury publicly two days before the opening ceremony, and about a week after hurting herself during a slalom training run in Austria, cutting short her preparation.

As a two-time reigning overall World Cup champion, Vonn is considered a contender to win multiple med-

als and an overwhelming favorite in the downhill and super-G. And as an outgo-ing, autograph signing, product pitching Vail resident, she has been positioned as Vancouver’s answer to Beijing’s Mi-chael Phelps.

For a day, at least, that all was thrown into doubt.

As it is, Vonn sought to distance her-self from such comparisons, saying: “I’m not trying to be Michael Phelps. I’m just trying to be Lindsey Vonn, try-

Heuga memorial announcedThe Valley lost one of its most be-

loved residents on Monday as Jimmie Heuga died of complications from his four-decade long battle with Multiple Sclerosis. He was 66.

A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Monday, Feb. 15, 2010 at Beaver Creek Chapel in Avon.

In 1964, Heuga and Billy Kidd were the first American men to stand on an Olympic podium holding an alpine ski medal. His Olympic medal in the sla-lom in Innsbruck was not, however, how he is best remembered.

In later years, Heuga became bet-ter known for the radical approach he took to the treatment of his disease. Di-agnosed with MS at the age of 26, he turned upside down the conventional medical approach to the disease by un-dertaking an aggressive program of ex-ercise and optimistic thinking.

With the founding of The Heuga Center for MS in Edwards, he became a passionate advocate for other MS pa-tients and for new treatment therapies which are now the medical standard for MS care.

On Tuesday local Marty Head, the wife of the late ski and tennis racket mogul Howard Head and a longtime friend of Heuga’s, said while she was heartsick to learn of his death, she will always remember Heuga as being a winner over his illness.

“He was an exceptional man in every way,” she said. “He suffered so much and his life was one of giving. It was a privilege to know him.”

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Jimmie Heuga Center Endowment Fund, 27 Main Street East, Suite 303, Edwards, CO 81632.

Beginning Friday, Feb.12, Vail Moun-tain’s Vista Bahn Express Lift (#16), Gopher Hill Lift (#12) and the Born Free Express Lift (#8) will close at 4 p.m. through the remainder of the season.

Vail Mountain will move to its full

spring operating schedule beginning Fri-day, March 12 at which time the majority of front side lifts will close at 4 p.m.; the Sourdough Lift (#14) will close at 3:30 p.m. Lifts and terrain in Game Creek, Sun Up, Sun Down, Tea Cup, China, Si-

beria, Inner and Outer Mongolia Bowls will also close at 3:30 p.m. Blue Sky Basin’s Skyline Express Lift (# 37) and Earl’s Express Lift (#38) will close at 3 p.m. and Pete’s Express Lift (#39) will close at 2:45 p.m.

Schools weigh cost v. communityConsolidation, closures among ideas on the agenda

If you could save $800,000, what would you do, and to whom?

The Eagle County school board started down a long road of discussions to decide which elementary and middle schools should be combined or closed – if any.

All the schools in the crosshairs are in the end of the valley: Meadow Mountain elementary, Minturn mid-dle school, New America School and the Vail Ski and Snowboard Academy.

The discussion has already touched the nerves of families in those communities, and centered part of the discussion on the district’s dedication to small schools, which can be more expensive.

“People get very nervous when talk begins about closing their school,” said Linda Sampson, president of the Red Sandstone PTA.

Red Sandstone school is not among the schools that may get the axe.

As far as the Vail Ski and Snowboard Academy goes, the school would continue, just potentially not in that same building. It would likely be moved to the Dowd Junction facility down the road.

But all of this would not happen for a couple of years, if at all.

When talk swirled a few years ago that Meadow Mountain Elementary School might close, about 50 families banded together to start Stone Creek charter school.

And that part is about the money. For each student who attends a public school, the school district re-

ceives $7,591.That per-student funding goes with them to charter

schools. If the students go to private schools, the school district gets nothing, although their families continue to pay taxes to support public schools.

Then there are the economic realities of falling tax revenues as property taxes fall. Eagle County is look-ing at a 20 percent fall next year, and state funding is going down by at least 4 percent in the new budget, to just over $7,000 per student.

The decision won’t be made immediately, or even in the near future. Board members and school district of-ficials will be taking their show on the road, presenting options and collecting public input.

School DazeThe school district is trying to figure out what

to do with schools at the eastern end of the valley.

Two options, for now:1. Combine Meadow Mountain Elementary

School and Meadow Mountain Elementary School into a pre-K through fifth grade at the Dowd Junction site. Minturn Middle School re-mains empty.

2. Move Minturn Middle School into the Dowd Junction site, with some remodel, and leave ev-erything else as it is for now.

The school district staff will now figure how much money it will all cost, and how much it might save.

Wal-Mart sued for discriminationSix suing Silverthorne

store among the 90 who sued Avon store last year

Some West African men who sued Wal-Mart in Avon last year for discrimination have reportedly filed a sim-ilar EEOC action against the Silverthorne store.

The 10 men say they were fired from the Silverthorne store because managers wanted to give their jobs to lo-cal residents who need jobs, they told the Equal Em-ployment Opportunity Commission.

Of those 10, six worked in the Avon store and were part of a group of 90 employees who filed an EEOC action against that store in January 2009.

In that 2009 action, the six claimed they were fired from the Avon store after a new manager called a work-ers meeting and told the largely West African group: “I don’t like some of the faces I see here. There are people in Eagle County who need jobs.”

Mamadou Sy, one of the 10 men filing the latest


complaint, told the Times that he felt they were being threatened.

Their allegations were not true in 2009, and are not now, said Wal-Mart spokesman Greg Rossiter.

“They do not accurately reflect our diverse group of associates,” Rossiter told the Mountaineer in a phone conversation from Wal-Mart’s corporate headquarters in Bentonville, Ark.

“West Africans are finding good career opportuni-ties with Wal-Mart,” Rossiter said. “Over the past year, morale has been high and three West Africans have been promoted into supervisory positions in the Avon store.”

The 10 are Muslim and also claim they were denied prayer breaks while White and Hispanic co-workers got smoke breaks.

Rossiter said yesterday that non-African workers at the Avon store had been laid off, without regard to race or religion.

“Since that time, the Avon store has continued to hire and promote West African associates,” Rossiter said.

Information about both the actions involving the Avon and Silverthorne Wal-Mart stores are not avail-able on the EEOC website, and they re forbidden to discuss it while the case is under investigation, said Pa-tricia McMahon with the EEOC.

County to fight for water rights1995 diversion dispute with Aurora set for June trial

Eagle County may have to fight Aurora for water.

A 15-year old water court case appears headed for a two-week trial in state water court beginning the last week of June.

Aurora wants to tap an aquifer it says is under Camp Hale, and build a reservoir that would reach into the Homestake Wilderness area.

Familiar fightIf that sounds familiar, it should.The case goes all the way back

to the 1970s when Aurora wanted to build a massive water diversion project in the Homestake Wilder-ness area.

That case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and Eagle County won, effectively ending that round.

Aurora came back with another diversion proposal in 1995, the one that may end up in court this summer. It originally envisioned a 30,000 acre foot reservoir, again partially inside the Homestake Wil-derness area.

And Aurora still wants to drain water it says is under Camp Hale.

The two sides have haggling for a decade and a half, said Bryan Treu, Eagle County attorney.

“Eagle County has been objecting to it since 1995,” Treu said. “Aurora thinks there’s a large aquifer under Camp Hale.”

They’ve been inching closer as the trial date looms. Aurora reduced its 30,000 acre foot reservoir to 9,300 acre feet.

“Originally they were asking for a lot. Now they’re asking for a lot less,” Treu said.

Treu said that, like the original Homestake proposal, the water di-version points for Aurora’s smaller proposed reservoir still “look a little like a spider web.”To feed its growing thirst, Aurora wants to divert water from Home-stake Creek and Homestake Reser-voir, the Eagle River, Cross Creek, Fall Creek, Peterson Creek, Tur-key Creek, Resolution Creek, and any other water source above the confluence of the Eagle River and Cross Creek, the court documents said.

Water court, here we comeWhile water law in Colorado can

be incredibly complicated, this im-passe does not seem to be.

Aurora wants to build its reser-voir and tap the aquifer it says is un-der Camp Hale, then see if it works, court documents indicate.

Eagle County’s position has not changed since Aurora filed its claim on Dec. 11, 1995. They don’t like it and intend to continue fighting it.

“Show us that you plan works,” Treu said.

Water law sometimes allows an entity to claim water rights if the owner isn’t using it regularly. In this case, the water near and in the Homestake Wilderness area is just sitting there, and Aurora wants it, according to the court documents.

Vail Resorts successfully used a similar argument to usurp Eagle River water rights from Minturn a few years ago. Minturn did not have the money for a protracted court fight. If Eagle County and Au-rora can reach a mutually beneficial agreement before late June, fine.

“If not, we’re going to court,” Treu said.

Legend of Stumpy comes to Vail

Ski film director and producer Greg Stump will speak at a special Unlimited Adventure Series engagement tonight, hosted by the Vail Symposium. Pictured here is a promotional shot of his latest film The Legend of Aahhh’s. Photo courtesy Greg Stump Productions.

Visionary ski film director Greg Stump will be at the Donovan Pa-vilion tonight to discuss his library of works, as part of the Vail Sympo-sium’s Unlimited Adventure Series.

According to his web site, “The Legend of Stumpy” began at age 9, when Stump joined a junior masters program at Pleasant Mountain Ski Area in Maine. He went on to win the Junior National Championships at Copper Mountain in 1978.

Stump was one of the first and only international amateur freestyle champions at the 1979 North Ameri-can Freestyle Championships at Edelweiss Valley in Ontario.

Stump’s talent caught the attention of ski pioneers and film producers such as Dick Barrymore and Warren Miller, who cast him in their movies.

With his passion for ski films fully ignited by the greats, Stump set out to direct his own, with daring action shots and fresh soundtracks that attracted a whole new, younger audience.

“He really changed ski films in general,” said Vail Symposium di-rector Carrie Marsh. “When he start-ed ski films, he was looking at pow-der magazines and ski magazines and everyone doing Daffys and said ‘This is boring, we need to get some cool skiers out there doing some cool things to great music.’ ”

Greg Stump Productions gave birth to such Stump classics as his 1988 ‘Blizzard of Aahhh’s,’ 1994’s ‘P-Tex, Lies & Duct Tape’ and his most recent ‘Legend of Aahhh’s.’

Stump also produced, filmed and directed hundreds of commercials and music videos for national and international clients like Swatch Watch, Coors, Adidas, Salomon, Chapstick, Wrigley’s and United Airlines, along with several ski re-sorts. In 2000, Stump created a Dis-ney Super-Bowl commercial starring skateboard legend, Tony Hawk.

Stump was honored by Skiing Magazine as one of the twenty-five most influential people in skiing of all time.

“The majority of us in this valley love skiing and he is definitely one

of the ski mavericks out there,“ said Marsh.

At tonight’s Unlimited Adventure Series, Stump will share clips from several of his upcoming films, in-cluding his newest film, and discuss what its like to film great skiing in-novators.

The VS Unlimited Adventure se-ries began seven years ago as a part-nership with the Town of Vail Public Library, said Marsh.

“It started at the library as a small get together of people talking about the adventures they’d had around the world,” she said. “Now we bringing in crowds of 250 people, with speak-ers who bring tales from ice climb-ing the highest peaks to navigating the deepest seas.”

For the first time this year, the Un-limited Adventure series is free to the public.

The presentation begins at 6 p.m., with an exclusive after party planned at the Tap Room in Vail Village. Five bucks gets you beer, food and en-trance into a prize drawing.

Bluzilla at The Coyote Café, Beaver Creek

“We do everything. We do some hard-core country to reggae, straight-up pop and Sinatra. The blues is kind of our main thrust, but we don’t want to really be labeled a just a blues band,” said Bluzilla guitar-ist Terry McCune. “We like doing a lot of odd tunes. We’re not really classic rock at all, but we play a lot of classic songs,” McCune said. “We change it up a lot – a little of anything and a little of everything. We switch it around so we don’t get too board. From Merle Haggard to Talking Heads to Cream.” Music at 9:30 p.m.

Rock the Pink at Samana, Vail Village

It’s the first annual Rock the Pink Fashion Show. Come see the Mountaineer’s own Cyrus Tingley try to not look uncomfortable while he swings furiously down the runway in the hottest spring clothes from Quiksilver, Arriesgado and Studz Gem Wear.

Doors open at 6 p.m. Show starts at 8 p.m. $5 suggested donation at the door. DJ Lito spins into the late night.

Vail VillageIf you’re looking for an après ski show that is not

suited for the entire family, rather for people who like to party – a show that encourages a healthy amount of drinking, raunchy jokes and good times – Steve Meyer, at The Club in Vail Village, offers that alternative. Mu-sic kicks off at 5 p.m.

Then, at 10 p.m., the acoustic rock/pop duo of Ted Hammock and Matt Fisher is influenced by G. Love, Dispatch, Sublime and Jack Johnson. “I love more chill, stripped-down acoustic music,” says Hammock. “I love the gauntlet of human emotion and the feelings that people experience.”

Jake’s Wolfgang at Bagali’s, West Vail

“He’ll huff, he’ll puff and he’ll blow your musical mind.” Jake Wolf, Shakedown Street Drummer since 1997, Avon Elementary “School of Rock” teacher and house musicians at the Grotto in Beaver Creek has shared the stage with members of the Grateful Dead and hung with the locals, on drums, around the bon-fire at State Bridge. Catch him every Thursday Night at Bagali’s in West Vail with his handpicked crew of the finest musicians in town. Show starts at 7:30 p.m.

Boxcar Daisies at Vista, Arrowhead

Comprised of singer/songwriters KT Homes and Elli Gauthier, the powerhouse duo takes listeners on a mes-merizing journey: sometimes whimsical, sometimes somber, sometimes political, always heartfelt. Playing soulful originals and a handful of uniquely presented covers, their sound is timeless and yet cutting edge —

think early jazz vocals with just a handful of sawdust. The band’s strengths lie in their silky harmonies, me-lodic prowess, and unique instrumentation. In addi-tion to their standard guitar and banjo set-up, Boxcar audiences can expect to see instruments ranging from a washtub bass to a musical saw to an African harp. Show starts at 6:30 p.m.

The Laughing Bones at Rick and Kelly’s, Edwards8:30 p.m. – 12 a.m.This local bluegrass favorite keeps their sound fresh

by incorporating several different styles into their mu-sic. Band member Patrick Padgett says, “When we do acoustic shows, it’s straight-up bluegrass and country, but when we plug in and go electric, it turns into Amer-icana-folk rock.”

Jonny Mogambo at Finnegan’s, Avon

Mogambo has been playing throughout Colorado, na-tionally, and internationally for over fifteen years. You can always catch Jonny Mogambo in the wintertime slopeside performing his high-energy solo acoustic act from Vail and Telluride to Aspen and Summit County. Music starts at 6 p.m.

Tony G and Allan Finney at Vail Cascade, Vail

Jazz musician and local legend is an all-around en-tertainer and an all-around smooth cat with a knack for putting people in a good mood. He’ll be keepin’ it cool today at the Fireside Lounge in Vail Cascade’s Atwater. For great food and great music, steer clear of the Vil-lage and après with Tony G from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.

Broadway children’s musical comes to the Beav’The journey of “A Year With Frog and Toad”

bears similarity to the development of a frog, from egg to full-fledged fly eating amphibian.

The musical received staged readings at Vassar College; it was first produced by the Children’s Theatre Company in Minneapolis, premiering on August 23, 2002. It made its Broadway debut at the Cort theatre on April 13, 2003. The musical was nominated for three Tony awards, and is notable for being one of the first musicals to bring children’s theatre to Broadway.

The Vilar Performing Arts Center will host this landmark children’s musical today. The third touring year features Arnold Lobel’s be-loved characters adapted to the stage by Robert and Willie Reale. Developed by Mr. Lobel’s daughter, Adrianne Lobel, the stage musical remains true to the spirit of the original sto-ries as it follows two great friends, the cheerful and popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad through four fun-filled seasons.

The VPAC is partnering with the STARS program (Support The Arts Reaching Stu-

dents) for this production of A Year With Frog and Toad. The purpose of STARS associated performances to promote artistic, educational and cultural enrichment to local students with in-school workshops and daytime shows at the theatre. Each year, the Vilar Performing Arts Center provides free transportation and tick-ets to more than 4,000 Eagle County students. The program creates increased access to the performing arts for all students regardless of financial circumstance.

Minneapolis Children’s Theatre Company Artistic Director Peter Bro-sius reflects on being the first theatre to produce “A Year with Frog and Toad.” The Tony nominated musical comes to the Vilar Center at Beaver Creek today with shows at 10 a.m. and noon. AP photo.

Back injury could spell end of Parnevik’s career

After a long battle with a nagging lower back injury, Jesper Parnevik said Wednesday he will likely have to quit golf.

Parnevik, a five-time winner on the PGA Tour, told Swedish tabloid Afton-bladet that doctors said he needs to have joint fusion surgery to fix the broken ver-tebrae in his lower back. According to Parnevik, if this surgery is necessary he will no longer be able to play golf.

Parnevik finished second in the 1994 British Open and is considered one of Sweden’s greatest golfers. He had sur-gery on his right hip last year and did

not play a tournament until Q-school in December, when he withdrew before the six rounds were over because he wasn’t ready.

Parnevik was responsible for introduc-ing Tiger Woods to his wife, a meeting he may now regret facilitating. He was openly critical of Woods during the No. 1 golfer’s recent admission of infidelity.

Back problems forced Parnevik to withdraw from the Northern Trust Open in Los Angeles last week. He will visit a physiotherapist in Detroit next week in a last-ditch attempt to prolong his career.

good news for the stuggling LPGA on Wednesday when they an-nounced that they will sponsor an event as well as LPGA standout Michelle Wie.

Considered among the most pop-

ular female players, Wie will be the official golf ambassador and spokes-person for Kia Motors. Terms of the deal were not announced.

The Korean-based automaker also will be title sponsor of the Kia Clas-sic, to be played March 25-28 at La

Costa Resort north of San Diego. It will be the first time the resort has been on a national golf stage since the Match Play Championship left for Arizona in 2006.

Italy’s Chicchi wins 4th stage in QatarItalian sprinter Francesco Chicchi

surged past Dutchman Theo Bos and Heinrich Haussler for a comfortable win at stage 4 of the Tour of Qatar. Haussler finished second for the second consecu-tive day.

The 146.5 km stage set off from The Pearl, an artificial island off the coast of Qatar’s eastern seaboard, and Martin Kohler (BMC Racing), Jesse Sergent (Trek Livestrong U23) and Sep Van-marcke (Topsport Vlaanderen-Mercato) launched an escape.

Swiss Kohler took both intermediate sprints as they traveled inland but the trio were caught with inside 15km remaining as the peloton looped back on pancake-flat terrain to the coastal finish city.

Wouter Mol (Vacansoleil) increased his lead to 15 seconds over Geert Steurs (Topsport Vlaanderen-Mercator) on GC after their breakaway on stage two.

Running from February Sunday 7th to Friday 12th 2010, the 9th Tour of Qatar will be made up of 6 stages and will cov-er a total distance of 704 kilometers.

Riders pose before the start of stage 4 of the Tour of Qatar. Ital-ian Francesco Chicchi stormed to victory out sprinting the pack in the final moments of the race.

More snow shipped in toa very warm Vancouver

Organizers dumped more snow on Cypress Mountain Tuesday as the warm weather continues to add an un-wanted variable to this year’s Winter Olympic venue.

Olympic organizers opened only parts of the moun-tain to media for the first time Tuesday, showing off a snow-covered moguls course with big patches of dirt on either side. The snowboard halfpipe remained off limits.

The steep slope got a mixed reception from skiers after training.

“Everybody needs to adapt to that course,” 2009 World Cup champion Alexandre Bilodeau of Canada said. “It’s obviously not the best course we’ve had this year, and it’s not the type of skiing we’re used to.”

American athlete Bryon Wilson, however, said the course was shaping up well.

“It’s a little different to anything we’ve been on be-fore, but it’s soft and it’s pretty ripping,” he said.

The conditions on Cypress Mountain have been the most dominant concern leading up to the games, which open Friday.

A-Rod cheating on self with Diaz

Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodri-guez are blazing their way through a new romance according to OK! Magazine. Since OK! first reported Tuesday, it seems there’s even more buzz about the hottest new couple to make their debut during the Su-

per Bowl festivities last weekend. A source told OK! that the twosome are definitely into each other, and aren’t afraid to hide it.

“A-Rod and Cameron have been totally hooking up,” the source re-portedly told OK!, adding in their obvious affection during the CAA party on Saturday night in Miami as further proof of their passion for each other.

Kobe’s off-court promotions

Kobe is the poster boy on a flier touting him as the host of a party at NBA All-Star Weekend in Dallas, reports TMZ. “The catch: The party

is being thrown by Show Magazine -- a men’s publication featuring scantily clad and topless women,” writes TMZ. “So why would Kobe -- who dodged a career-ending bul-let in 2003 -- make a move that could potentially sully his resur-rected image?”

Kobe’s camp isn’t talking -- but reps from the magazine and the club where the party is set to go down each insist Kobe negotiated a fee and put his Hancock on a contract, reports TMZ. The owner of Show Magazine also claims he had to have the flier approved by the NBA before he could start distributing it around town, according to TMZ.

north of Kabul, over the past two days.Bashary said late Wednesday that the rescue opera-

tion was “95 percent over,” suggesting authorities did not expected further significant increases in the death toll.

More than two dozen avalanches — which were trig-gered Monday — poured tons of snow and ice on the 12,700-feet-high pass. The 1.6 mile-long Salang Tun-nel, a Soviet-built landmark dating from the 1960s through the Hindu Kush mountains, was cut off, with dozens of cars, buses and trucks jammed inside.

Not all bonuses are created equal

Less than a month after calling bank executives’ pay “obscene,” President Barack Obama is declining to criticize bonuses received by two top Wall Street chief executives, saying he doesn’t “begrudge people suc-cess or wealth.” In an interview with Bloomberg Busi-ness Week, the president compared Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase & Co., and Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs Group Inc., with athletes who are paid even more.

“First of all, I know both those guys,” Obama said. “They’re very savvy businessmen. And I, like most of the American people, don’t begrudge people success or wealth. That’s part of the free market system.”

The full interview will not appear until Friday. But the White House, eager to defend the president’s re-marks, issued a transcript Wednesday of the exchange over bank compensation to show that Obama was not expressing approval of the Blankfein and Dimon bo-nuses.

India to test long-range nuclear missile

India aims to test a new nuclear-capable missile with a 3,100-mile range, a top military scientist said on Wednesday, a move that could complicate security in a volatile region, reports Reuters. The missile would effectively bring most of China within India’s range, as well as more potential targets to the west and east than its existing weaponry according to Reuters.

“Agni-V is out of the drawing board. We are aiming for a flight trial within a year,” V.K. Saraswat, India’s chief military scientist was reported saying. “India successfully tested the Agni-III missile, which has a 3000-km range, at the weekend and is ready to bring it into the military,” writes Reuters. “Any addition to India’s military capability is viewed with suspicion by rival Pakistan and usually touches off tit-for-tat efforts by Islamabad.”

Majority supports raising someone else’s taxes

Adding a $1 per pack tax to cigarettes could raise more than $9 billion a year for states, health advocates said yesterday, and a poll released with the study shows Americans would support such a tax, reports Reuters.

“The poll, conducted by International Communica-tions Research, found 60 percent of voters would sup-port the tax to help struggling states and would prefer it over other tax increases or budget cuts,” according

to Reuters report. “’An increase in tobacco tax rates is not only sound public health policy but a smart and predictable way to help boost the economy and gener-ate long-term health savings for states facing deepen-ing budget deficits,’ said John Seffrin, chief executive of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Net-work.”

“We have irrefutable evidence that raising the tobac-co tax lowers smoking rates among adults and deters millions of children from picking up their first ciga-rette,” Seffrin was quoted by Reuter from a statement; the report was released by the Cancer Action Network.

If you can’t spell cholesterol ...

Intelligence comes second only to smoking as a pre-dictor of heart disease, scientists were reported saying by Reuters on Wednesday, suggesting public health campaigns may need to be designed for people with lower IQs if they are to work.

Research by Britain’s Medical Research Council (MRC) found that lower intelligence quotient (IQ) scores were associated with higher rates of heart dis-ease and death, and were more important indicators than any other risk factors except smoking, according to Reuters.

“Heart disease is the leading killer of men and wom-en Europe, the United States and most industrialised countries,” according to Reuters’ report. “It is well known that people with poorer education and lower in-comes often face higher risks of ill health and a range of diseases. Studies have pointed to many likely rea-sons, including limited access to healthcare and other resources, poorer living conditions, chronic stress and higher rates of lifestyle risk factors like smoking.”

Charlie Wilson’s war endsCharlie Wilson, the fun-loving Texas congressman

whose backroom dealmaking funneled millions of dol-lars in weapons to Afghanistan, allowing the country’s underdog mujahedeen rebels to beat back the mighty Soviet Red Army, died Wednesday. He was 76.

Wilson died at Memorial Medical Center-Lufkin af-ter having difficulty breathing after attending a meeting in the eastern Texas town where he lived, said hospital spokeswoman Yana Ogletree. Wilson was pronounced dead on arrival, and the preliminary cause of death was cardiopulmonary arrest, she said.

Wilson represented Texas’ 2nd Congressional District in the U.S. House from 1973 to 1996 and was known in Washington as “Good Time Charlie” for his reputation as a hard-drinking womanizer. He once called former congresswoman Pat Schroeder “Babycakes,” and tried to take a beauty queen with him on a government trip to Afghanistan.

Barbara’s $100 million will stay in Vegas

Superstar Barbra Streisand has refused a $100 mil-lion dollar offer to take up residence in Las Vegas, according to reports. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, The “Woman In Love” singer, 67, has al-legedly been approached to follow in the footsteps of Cher, Celine Dion and Bette Midler by signing a three-

Banned in IranIran’s telecommunications agency announced what it

described as a permanent suspension of Google Inc.’s email services, saying a national email service for Ira-nian citizens would soon be rolled out, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. It wasn’t clear late Wednesday what effect the order had on Gmail services in Iran, or even if Iran had implemented its new policy. Iranian officials have claimed technological advances in the past that they haven’t been able to execute, re-ports the Journal.

The Journal quoted a Google spokesman saying in a statement, “We have heard from users in Iran that they are having trouble accessing Gmail. We can con-firm a sharp drop in traffic, and we have looked at our own networks and found that they are working prop-erly. Whenever we encounter blocks in our services we try to resolve them as quickly as possibly because we strongly believe that people everywhere should have the ability to communicate freely online.”

You Tube adding control features

According to CBS News, YouTube has coming under fire from parents who think some of the content on the popular Web site is unsuitable for their kids. So, as CBS News correspondent Kelly Wallace reported, starting yesterday, YouTube is adding parental controls, enabling parents to block kids from viewing many videos.

Type in the word sex on YouTube, and you’ll get mil-lions of hits, Wallace reported, including countless pro-vocative and violent videos.

“That concerns parents such as Marsali Hancock, whose 14-year-old daughter, Rachel Hancock, spends at least two hours a day -- sometimes as many as five -- on YouTube,” reports Wallace.

Blackwater booted out of Iraq

Iraq has ordered hundreds of private security guards linked to Blackwater Worldwide to leave the country within seven days or face possible arrest on visa viola-tions, the interior minister said Wednesday.

The order comes in the wake of a U.S. judge’s dis-missal of criminal charges against five Blackwater guards who were accused in the September 2007 shoot-ing deaths of 17 Iraqis in Baghdad. It applies to about 250 security contractors who worked for Blackwater in Iraq at the time of the incident, Interior Minister Jawad al-Bolani told The Associated Press.

Some of the guards now work for other security firms in Iraq, while others work for a Blackwater subsidiary, al-Bolani said. He said all “concerned parties” were notified of the order three days ago and now have four days left before they must leave. He did not name the companies.

Planned Parenthood in trouble for underage

abortionsA Planned Parenthood clinic in Alabama has been

put on probation by the state after an undercover sting helped reveal that underage teens had been receiving abortions there without parental consent, reports Fox News. State health officials said in the report that the Birmingham, Ala., abortion clinic has until next week to present its plan to correct violations involving mi-nors receiving abortions.

“Investigators with the health department said records at the clinic showed several minors aged 13-15 had re-ceived abortions without proper verification of parental consent since November 2008,” reports Fox.”An activ-ist with “Live Action,” a California-based anti-abortion group, posed as a pregnant 14-year-old girl who needed a secret abortion. In an audio tape from the visit, an employee allegedly suggests that someone other than a parent or legal guardian could give consent.”

South Park episode banned down south

A last-minute decision by MTV in Mexico not to broadcast an episode of the U.S. cartoon show South Park has caused controversy, according to the BBC. “The episode portrays Mexico’s president as a leader who wastes funds and irritates the international com-munity,” said the BBC report. “MTV Mexico said they did not get a special permit needed to broadcast an im-age of Mexico’s flag, seen briefly in the same scene as the president.”

“But Mexican South Park fans reacted with skepti-cism to that explanation. The episode was to have been shown in Spanish on Monday night on MTV’s Latin American channel,” according to the report “’Has it been censored by the Mexican government?’ wonders a blogger at the popular MexaBlog, comments on other Web sites were of a critical nature. The Mexican presi-dent in the episode is said to resemble Felipe Calde-ron.”

A spokesman for MTV Mexico told the BBC that the reason the episode was not shown was that the permit required to show the flag did not arrive in time for the scheduled broadcast.

Stroke kills ‘America’s toughest skipper’

The Discovery Channel says the captain of the “Dead-liest Catch” fishing vessel Cornelia Marie has died. Capt. Phil Harris suffered what his family described as a massive stroke on Jan. 29 while the boat was in port at St. Paul Island, Alaska. The 53-year-old fisherman was flown to Anchorage for surgery.

A Discovery spokesman says the Harris family con-tacted the network Tuesday evening with word of his death. Discovery Channel spokeswoman Elizabeth Hill-man issued a statement on behalf of sons Jake and Josh Harris. It says in part, “It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dad _ Captain Phil Harris. Dad has al-ways been a fighter and continued to be until the end.”

Comedian Rusty Z puts the ‘hip’ in hypnotistComedy Night hits the Bowlmor again Saturday

Comedian/hypnotist Rusty ‘Z’ returns to Eagle’s Bowlmor Lounge as the valley’s longest-running comedy series continues.

Rusty Z staged one of the most successful shows of the Bowlmor’s 2009 season.

For more than fifteen years as a professional comedian, Rusty ‘Z’ has been putting the ‘hip’ in hypnotist.

He has been featured on A&E and Comedy Cen-tral.

“Imagine yourself accepting accolades and ap-plause from your associates, co-workers and even the boss,” says Rusty.

It’s funny, and appropriate for anyone. Rusty makes sure the show not embarrassing for

his subjects.Rusty not only knows how to put on a respect-

ful, golden rule-driven hypnosis “party,” but also has a stand-up comedy background. He also has the humor writing experience to customize jokes and routines that’ll fit any group like a glove, and we’re not talking O.J.’s bloody glove.

First, you have to volunteer. Rusty puts you to sleep, then brings out talents hidden so deep that even you didn’t know you had them.

Rusty calls his show “Hypno a Go-Go.” Nobody gets embarrassed, except maybe the hard-hearted skeptics who didn’t believe in hypnotism before the show started.

LEE WILLIAMS AND HIS SON ZACH FROM HOMESTEAD were rooting on the Colts Sunday. Lee, a diehard Broncos fan, will have to until next season for the Donkeys to make the playoffs.


ing to do the best I can every day. Obviously with this injury, it’s go-ing to be even more difficult than I was anticipating, but I’m just going to go out there and fight. That’s all I can do.”

The women have their first official training run at Whistler Mountain on Thursday, and Vonn is expected to try to test her leg then — perhaps, her husband said, with the help of painkillers or a local anesthetic to numb the affected area.

“We honestly don’t know how it’s going to respond,” said Thomas Vonn, a former U.S. Olympic skier who acts as a coach and adviser to his wife. “We’re going to go up and see tomorrow. We potentially could get up there and she could say, ‘OK. This works. I can do this.’ And it could be not that big of a problem. Or she could get out there with the painkillers and she could say, ‘There’s just no chance.’”

The first women’s Alpine race is Sunday’s super-combined. Those who have been around Vonn for years expect her to be in the start-ing gate, setting aside the agony the way she’s done so many times be-fore.

“Knowing her — her competitive drive — if anyone could be ready to go when the gun goes off, it will be Lindsey Vonn,” U.S. Ski and Snow-board Association CEO Bill Marolt said.

Thomas Vonn thinks his wife might wind up sitting out a race or two before healing enough to be able to participate in later events.

“It is entirely possible that she could race in all five events and be fine. It is possible, for sure. I would be very, very surprised if she didn’t race in anything,” he told The As-sociated Press.

Still, he called the time since the injury “one of the more stressful weeks we’ve had ever in our lives ... and we still don’t know what the outcome will be.”

His wife did her best to smile through all of the camera clicks at Wednesday’s news conference, but she also paused and sighed oc-casionally while talking about the pain in her leg and the possibility of needing to pull out of one — or all — of her five events.

She described herself as “very emotional, very scared.”

“It’s hard to stay positive, you know,” said the 25-year-old Vonn, who lives and trains in Vail, Colo. “A week ago ... I was feeling great,

I was feeling healthy, I had no prob-lems. And now I’m sitting here today questioning whether I’ll be even able to ski. So it’s not where I want to be, by any means.”

She was in a far better place Jan. 31, when she won a World Cup super-G at St. Moritz, Switzerland, to clinch that discipline title and ex-tend her lead in the overall stand-ings heading into the Olympics. Two days later, Vonn was taking some extra slalom training when she jammed a ski tip, toppled over and slammed her right boot against her leg.

It was the first run of what was supposed to be a three-day pre-Olympics camp. She hasn’t skied since getting hurt Feb. 2, and said it’s even been arduous to simply put on a ski boot in her hotel room to test the leg. Vonn said the bruis-ing covers about a 6-inch swath — starting from where the top of a boot rests against her body — but she refused to have an X-ray done to check whether she broke a bone because she didn’t want to know.

“I pretty much stuck my fingers in my ear and just pretended like I didn’t hear what was going on. I didn’t want to hear that my shin was fractured. At the time, that’s what it looked like,” Vonn said. “If I frac-tured my shin, I wouldn’t be racing the rest of the season.”

Vonn called the shin “probably the worst place that you can have an injury, because you’re constantly pushing against your boot.”

Other ski racers agreed that even if Vonn does go ahead and compete, she could be limited.

“That’s what puts her in her own league (among) the women: She’s on the front of the boot, and she re-ally accelerates through the turn,” said Canada’s Manuel Osborne-Paradis, a medal contender in the men’s downhill Saturday. “If she can’t do that, then it’s going to open doors for a lot of other women.”

Trying to speed the healing pro-cess, Vonn is having laser treat-ments and trying a less-orthodox method: wrapping her leg in topfen, an Austrian curd cheese, to ease the swelling. She’s taken anti-inflam-matories, but said she hasn’t tried pain medication, meaning “there are still things that we can do.”

Like most elite Alpine ski racers, Vonn is no stranger to injuries. Nor would it be anything new for her to try to shut one out while speeding down a slope.

“I’ve always been able to perse-vere,” Vonn said. “I won’t really know until tomorrow, when I actu-ally get on skis, and they can actual-ly assess the situation and see how bad it is.”

At the 2006 Turin Olympics, she took a harrowing spill at somewhere around 50 mph in training, a fall that bruised her back and sent her to the hospital. Less than 48 hours later, Vonn — then known by her maiden name, Kildow — finished eighth in the downhill.

This season, she lost control dur-ing a World Cup giant slalom in Austria in late December, thudded to the ground and worried she had broken her left wrist. It turned out it was a bad bruise, but Vonn was right back out there racing in a slalom the next morning, wearing a brace to protect the tender arm. Less than two weeks later, she was stringing together a three-race win-ning streak.

In early December, Vonn’s knee slammed into her chin as she sped down a downhill in Lake Louise, Alberta, making her teeth chomp on her tongue, causing blood to pour out of a corner of her mouth as she crossed the finish line.

“She’s a tough girl,” said Bill Sterett, a U.S. Ski Team doctor who first treated Vonn when she broke her leg at age 13. “I think you can never discount Lindsey and how tough she is and how much she wants this.”

The U.S. Ski Team and USOC knew about Vonn’s injury last week, but otherwise she kept the bad news mostly to herself until Wednes-day, hoping against hope her shin wouldn’t keep hurting so much. Even her mother didn’t know about the injury until seeing Vonn initially disclose it during an interview with NBC’s “Today” show that was taped Tuesday night and aired Wednesday morning.

“This is in no way trying to give myself an excuse if I don’t do well. I wish that this had never happened. I wish that I was coming in here healthy, and that I had to deal with all the expectations with a healthy body, but obviously that’s not the case,” Vonn said.

“I know that I’ve given it every-thing that I have,” she added, “and you can be sure that when I’m in the starting gate — if I’m in the start-ing gate — that I will be out there to win.”
